How Irihlbltlon Affect* the
(glorious Fourth.
Atlanta, July 4.—Jnst at the moment when
thouiAcd* of Toten are feeling a little u 'certain
over the political situation, the Workiug World, of
thiaclty, the recognized organ of the Kuight* of
Labor, call* lustily for a peopleVeonvt-ntion to put
out a people'* candidate for governor. Itaaye, In
it* last iMue: "Are there not citizen* with manhood
and independence enough to throw off thi* ring
rule, and call and attend a convention, and rescue
Georgia from her ignominious thraldom?”
agriculture and natural history wlil be filled. The
cha r was made vacant by the death of General
Browne. I learn from the se rotary and
treasurer of the. board that there are
ppltcant* for the profeasorablp from Maine to
California, and especially from the We*te*n States.
The ap) licants for the agricultural professorship
fr jin Atlanta are Col. B. F. Redding, of the State
Agricultural Department aud CM- Isaac W. Avery,
editor of tne Evening Capitol There are two va
cancies in the board to be filled, canted by the
death of Gen. Toomba and Col. David W. Lewi*.
The alumni of the University will also elect two
trustees, one to which they are regularly
entitled, and oue to All the place of Hon. N. J. Ham
mond. who has been elected a life member of the
board. Tbia ought to cause the alumni to gather
at Athena ic force.
The commencement exercises are expected to be
unusually brilliant, and the attendance much larger
than in former years.
First Fruit* of Prohibition.
Atlanta. July 4.—Among other development* of
th* first day of prohibition In Atlanta was one
rather remarkable in its character, and is submitted
to the advocates of this reform movemeut Asa
puzzle It may Interest them Co solve.
A yonng man belonging to one of the best fami
lies in the city, who had alwaya been strictly tem
perate during the da) ■ of whisky, took occasion, as
aoon as the town had gone dry, to get
on a regular bender. The drunk assumed
snch proportions that he was run in by the police,
and furnished the recorder with his first case of
the prohibition variety. It is also stated that the
fine Imposed figures as the^lrst on the docket.
As one of the strong argument* m*de in favor of
prohibition was that while it may nut reform the
old topers. It will save the young men who hare
never formed the habit of drinking, it will be a
death blow to tbe movement if this case should be
followed by other* of the same kind.
Atlanta, July 3.—Prohibition struck Atlanta It*
first serious blow, and straight from the shoulder,
to-day. For some years the "Glorious Fourth" at
Georgia's capital has been set apart. In some w*y.
as the colored brother's day. He has been tolled
Into the city from every quarter by all the achep
and devices which attract his race, and when here
has been given tbe freedom of the city. He has
been known to crowd the street* in the vicinity of
the union depot to each an extent as to render
them impassable, and In this pre
empted space he has gorged himself with
watermelon and red lemonade. This, perhaps,
the reason why the white people of Atlauta do not
celebrate the national day.
Tbe Fourth falling on Hnnday. to-day wa* snbsii
luted hare, but the great crowds which usually
pour out of long excursion trains felled to come in
A few car-load* was all that could be induced to
come, and although those who came congregated
as uauil, about the depot. It was comparatively a
small gathering, hardly a fourth of the usual
ber. The venders of the red lemonade,
appreciating the audden charge,
were forced to reduce the price of that erstwhile
popular beverage, and mingled in the crowd cry
ing: "Hers* your lemonade, two g’aenea for five
cent*." What a tall was this. It is sad to think
that such times have come upon us, and In the ab
sence of other adequate reason, it must be placed
to tbe credit of prohibition.
A number of people came up on tbe Central, at
tracted by the visit here of the Macon baseball
team, but tor which Important event the day might
Jiare been classed at a complete failure.

preparation of an lmmensa cage made of Iron bar*
divided into two apartment*, by ft door, which
coaid be lifted by ft rope, throwing the two apart
ment* into one open space. In one of the *l*art-
mants ft dog was to be placet, and a cata

matter.
Warrants were sworn out against the owners of
the catamounts, and Chief Connolly ordered to ar
rest them if they undertook to present the adver
tised programir.?. Captain Connolly rode out to
the cock-pit but found thing* quiet there. Tbe
cage waa on hand but waa unoccupied. About oue
hundred people were on hand, who were much dis
appointed by the affair being broken up.
It eeems that tha owners of tha catamounts
learned that their programme would be interfered

A Deputy Hsmliftl’* Misfortune.
Atlanta, July 2.—United 8tates Deputy Marshal
James L. Trammell reported at the marshal's office
to-day, and told at headqna ter* a very harrowing
tale. He was In Union county last Hunday night
and stop ied for aupper at the bouse of Jesse South-
Before going in be saw that his horse waa
made comfortable in the barn. After eAtlng
returned to lira barn, and found
that b'a faithful steed had been
tampered with, aud gave evidence of being in
quite a distressed state of mind and body. The
horse's mane waa cut off and the tail closely
shaved, less two inches which b»d been removed.
Tbe horse had also been stabbed in a number of
places. The estldle and bridle were badly hacked,
A note was fontm warning Trammell to get out of
uu'y unlees be desired to be "done up." He
started for Ulalravllle next morning leading tbe
horse, and was fired upon by a party of unknown
men.
Itacoii'a Speech In latwrencovllle—A True
Report.
Lawbencjevill*, July 1.—There are so
trauy inaccuracies iu the Constitutiou’s re
port of Major Ilacon's speech hero that 1
think they demand correction. First, “The
ex-adjntuiit addressed about three hundred
and titty people.” The seats in the court
house were all crowded and people bud to
stand in the aisle, yen Gordon had about
one thousand people in the samo building.
Th Gordon men say, as reported in the
the Constitution, that Bacon charged the
buying of certuin counties. Towards the
close of bis speech Maajor Itacon said that
he had been tuformed that money hud been
sent to u man in this county ; and stated that
this money was to boused in getting peopl
to tho ams8 meeting—charging no attempt
at bribery nor possibility of Gwinnett
people being bribed. Upon being de
fied to prove that a doilur had been
Meut bore, Major Bacon toM tbt
interrupter that tne instruction was: “Hire
vehicles, get the people out and send
the bill* to us”—Atlanta. 8o far from auy
one but Ghrdon’s supporters being impress
ed with the idea of Bacon’s insinuating
their purchauableuess, many votes wete
uiftde for Bacon, it is said, by ho effectual
way in which the interruption was treated
Tli Acoustic pr* parties of our new court
bon**} are good, so a ver/ few cheers, alone,
could make it "ring” when Gordon's gal
lantry was mentioned by Bacon.
None but Gordon uien discovered tha*
the cheers for him made Bacon more can-
tionu during tbe remainder of liis speech.
Tho Constitution’s corrtflpoutivl*t vpuld
imply that men converted to Bacon men
"weak kneed Gordin men.” That is a
parting thiust at those converted.
Gordon's reception was quite a circus to
tbe conservative element of the town.
There are fifteen districts in Gwinnett. A
with the names of two districts upon
one side aud the stars and stripes upon the
other was promiueRt iu the procession.
Three gentlemen were upon the stand with
Gorlon. Tho gentleman who introduced
him (reading his remarks from his note*)
whs during the war the gatherer
of tithes in Gwinnett. The
second was, I am told, the hauler of
said tithes and the third "fit” iu a post office.
Tne speech was a* usual, and when 11a
eon was spoken of cheers wire
beard in various parts of the
house. There teemed to bo as many
Bacon as Gordon cries throughout. Let us
see what will be said in the Constitution of
Gordon's reception.
I have heard of at least a half dozen men
changed from Gordon to B icon yesterday,
either by the former’ll speech, flag or brass
band from Buford. Will the brans baod’s
expense bill go to Atlanta ? Gwinnett.

posed New Railroad.
AuEMcrx, July 2.—Pursuant to . call
made this day, about 2UO hundred citizeua
met at the court houae to take action on tbe
propoeed railroad from Atruricus to Abbe
ville on the Ocmulgee. The meeting waa
organized with Mayor Felder iu the chair
aud Major W. I.. Ulesraer acting as secre
tary.
Mayor Felder first addressed tbe meeting,
aud made a report of a recent trip through
the eountiea of Dooly and Wiloox. He as
sured the meeting that the people of these
eountiea would lend their heartiest co-oper
ation to the enterprise; that they deemed
the road a necessity, and would willingly
lend their aid to build it.
He was followed by President 8. II.
Hawkins, of the Americus, Preston aud
Lumpkin railroad, who made a ringing
apeeeb in favor of the road. Hia arguments
were convincing to the most skeptical, aud
all now admit thnt we oinandmnat build
the road. He cited aa an example tbe suc
cess of the Americas, Preston and Lumpkin,

ess, his taste* are adapted to a peaceful er*
His whole strength since the war ha*
been given to the work of restoring the
State over which he honorably aspire* to
preside as chief magistrate. When Geor
gia waa menaced with detraction more
dire than that of war, Mr. Btcon waa
found a sleepleal sentinel at hi* poet as
legislator; when she was wounded, sick
aud sore from the assaults of tbe high
waymen who bad robbed ber of ber store,
he poured balm into ber wounds aud
helped to nurse her back to health.
Twelve years of useful and honorable aer
vice in her General Assembly entitle him
to the respect and eateem ot the peo-
S le whom lie has served. But all this
oee not save hie noble reputation
from Feamirchment at the hands of those
who, for a purpose, eeek to destroy him
politically. The still small Toice of reason
and justice have been drowned by the noise
of th« battle and the shouting of tho con
tains. H Mr. Baoou ia beaten, we honestly
believe that it will be a( the ultimate ex
pense of ' he tax payers of the State and at
the sacrifice of its beat interests. He h«
triad to reason ont the iatues involved iu
tbe campaign—he baa held np Georgia and
her great matters aa calling for the exercise
of a calm judgment in the selrctinn by the
people of a Governor, and le has avowed a
policy whfchmnat have commended itself to
the sober consideration of all thoughtful per
sona as the wisest in the piesenteuergenc;
and it he goes down, the tratb which 1
has chami ioned, and the parity aud inde
pendence in official conduct uf which he is
the strong and able advocate, will likewise
meet a temporal y defeat. The ruahneas of
the preaent hour may be deplored when it
is too late to stay its results. A manly man,
inch a* Mr. l!aeon, may well accept private
life eheertnlly, with the high eonsciousncs-
of duty done, after ao gallant a fight aa he h.
making against opposition such an no cut
didata in Georgia ever encountered before.

O. v.ts Gboyk, N. J., June 28.—Ellis
Thompson, a wealthy farmer living about a
mile from lure, has purchased a wife aud
two children, and ia now living with
them in n new house, handeomely fur-
niahrd. Kate Caraon, a tight good girl,
was yean ago sought for by Thompson,
then 11 years old, and a young man named
Hiram Salieri, e. Satterlee won tbe girt
and miorled her. They lived, nntil a week

were, and bow the woman he loved was be
ing ill used by her husband. His sym-
latbiew went to the injnrnd wife, and be
onged to take hr r to the house he waa
building on hia farm. At length he had a
happy inspiration ho would buy Mr.
Satterlee's wife. When he broached the
■object to her, she received the proposition
with fewer acruplee than he had expected.
She appreciated bis soli' Ltuticn, and, if she
could not return hia affections, ber grati
tude would go a long way toward it. 'The
question now arose aa to whether the
bnahand would make a teas.'nubia bargain.
Mr. Thompson went tn tbe boose and
broached rite subject. Satterlee thought at
first it was a joke, bultaLcit liosaw Thomp

finally offered tn sell bia wife and children

cash at once. That night Satterlee left for
