If General Gordon used those words, as bn copied from jour paper, he is not only “deceitful, unprincipled, dishonorable, uu reliable in every way,” to Use Ur.

Central Gordon was obliged to know that thu taUehood would be exposed. He was obliged to know that he would he proven a kartrom tho official records; yet he brazen ly ahempta bis filthy falsehood, to preju dice the peopteof Laurens county, who *<ee not prepared with official documents ■oibov Ueneral Gordon’s desperation and abamtlesa efforts.

To their honor, be it eral Gordon that I bring proof to establish every charge made by myself against him— proof from official documents and Hunting ton's letters, the truth of which he does not deny. In reviewing General Gordon's course end his utterances since he wss imported from Wall street, New York, to become the candidate of a clique for the Governorship of Georgia, it is the hounden duty of the citizens of the State to examine into his qualifications for the position. Governor Brown found an enormous weight of political guilt resting on bis shoulders when he traded with Foster and Stanley Matthews, to do something, not yet fully revealed. I find an enormons weight of political infamy resting on his shoulders when he became Huntington's “man" in the United States Senate to betray the tax-payers of this country. I find alt enormous weight of political trick-ry and infamy resting on his shoulders when the sworn testimony develops the methods by which he seoured control of Georgia's con victs for twenty years, to the injury of the tax payers and tue free labor of this State. I shall tell the people of Georgia that bo unsafe, nnworthy, and unreliable, so long as these attested facts stand out as tbev do to his shame nnd discredit. His sucoess at this time wonld lower tbe standard of political rectitude, and pbtee n premium on politicaltreacheryand official unfaithfulness, which, in my opinion, would do more to debauch the young men of tbe State than anything which has oc curred in its history. His brilliant war record, like that of Mitrlimrongh, has been trailed in tho dust to fill his pockets with gold. Respectfully, W. H. Fzltos. VOL. LXI, jnO. 13.

Butler interposed to sny that he bad sat during tnis discussion without opening bis month, either for or against the bill; but be submitted that there was a puuit be yond which forbearance ceased to be a virtue.

Pi- MARRIAGE AT OXFORD. FREAKS OF TUB INSANE. A Sheriff Relate, ns Adventure with an ln- nau«* Negro. During the tight year* I have been sheriff of l’ike county,” said Sheriff Bussey nt the union depot last night, “I have car- ried twenty fentaUs to the lunatic asylum, and I have noticed that in every case they nse more profanity than men. They enrsi even when their training has been the most careful and religions, bnt why, I have never born able to find out." Sheriff Bussey enjoys s reputation all over the St-to as one of the bdst amt shrewdest officials, besides bting a man of nnqneatinnabi* courage. He has natural knack in ferreting ont criminals, and has been known to undergo many trials and privations in order to carry out bis plans for the capture of criminals; but one of the tightest places he was ever placed in was with a lunatic, and be tells the story him self: I went in s buggy several miles in the country after s negro man who had been bound by colds and kept securely until I c nld place him in jail to await a trial on a wilt of lunacy. 1 fonnd him bound band and foot, and when I re leased him from bis uncomfortable position be seamed to be the moat grateful negro I everstw. I concluded that as he looktd upon me as his deliverer, I wonld have no difficulty in carrying him to town. Accorf- ingly, I gave him a seat in my buggy one did not tie him in any way. I placed him on my right side, and we drove off all right. My bone waa a spirited animal and when the negro would now and then give a je: Plumb—As the Senator has not restrained himself from asomeobatlivelyspciohhero, I hope be will not teel under any restraint elsewhere. Bailer—I can say this to the Senator, that if he were to indulge in just such senti ments and expressions elsewhere, as be has here, he would be Tery likely to hear from me. Plumb—Oh, Mr. President, we hear great many Rings in these days. There are sign* and portents and all that sort ot thing. It is just what the S -nstor has sold that I waa commenting upon that while men who served in the Union army and the Northern peopl were divided to some extent ot this question, affecting the honor, good name, faithfulness and loyalty of oue of their own soldiers, no Confederate soldier hod any doubt upon the subject but voted nern. con. that he was guilty." After some further rem-rks, Plumb said be bad just been informed that the Presi dent bad veted the bill giving a pension of $50 a month to tbe widow of Mujor-Gem ral Hunter, who had been tbs presiding officer of the court-martial that bail tried Fitx-Jobn Potter. That seemed a fitting accompanimeat far tbe passage of the Fitz-Jobn Porter bill, but tbe loyal people of the country would see to it that lira. Hunter shonld not suffer. Teller offered si an amendment to place upon tbe retired list Central Alfred Pleasanton; rejected, 19 to 29. Plumb offered an amendment to place Mrs. Hunter on the pension roll at $50 a month. Lost—19 to 29. Logan offered an amendment to place on the retired list every volunteer officer who received wounds producing total diaability. Rejected—18 to 29. Blair offered an amendment providing that rejected pension claims may be taken to tba United States Couita' with the privilege of a jury trial. This amendment, be said, would relieve Con grets of many bills for private relist it would frighten him and it required could do ta keep the horse from running sway. When we had gens a few mill s the negro changed. He seemed to think I was carrying him to jail, and before I knew it be dealt ms a stinging blow on Re side of tho head, nearly kno-kioi me out of lbs buggy, held on the lines, knowing that it 1 turned them loose tbe hone would run away and lierbaps kill us both. Meeting with no resistance the nrgro gave ue another blow, and then another, and still another, nntil' began to think I was being manled with sledge hammer. Tbe more I talked to him the madd>r he seemed to get, and then he began to belabor me nntil I was fast being beaten into a jelly. I waa never oo badly puniahed in my lin. lie rained bla heavy slinging blows upon me, and tbe borne was going at bis utmost speed. There was not s soul in sigbt, and to drop tbe lines to de fend myself meant a horrible death. Finally we met some men in the road, and using all my strength I stopped tba borae and my prisoner was fastened again in ropes. Bnt for this I wonld have been beaten to death.” IN THE HANDS OF VIGILANTES. 88C11IMBI MANMNl That He BtUPMa Wauusavos. Jen. D-Mr. Tb No Troth In the Kr i- Brtnnxn. velvet.
