On Monday last Dr. James I, Groover, of this county, was arrested under a war rant issued liy Commissioner E. C. Wade, at the instance of Toney Brinson, a negro, who made the affidavit. The affidavit, if we are correctly in formed. doesn't state that l)r. Groover passed the money upon affiant, knowing it to be counterfeit; nor could the uegro, upon the investigation, swear it. Why it is that Commissioner Wade wonld issue a warrant against a citizen whose reputation is without a blemish, without embodying in it the essential elements of the crime, is something we cannot account for, and at the same time ascribe to him motives of purity. The facts are few and simple. A month and a half ago this delectable Toney called at Dr. Groover’s for a settlement, (as he stated upon oath,) and the Doctor being absent the settlement was made by his wife, who be alleges gave him the five dollar bill, which was a base counterfeit. If Mrs. G. did give hiiu the five dollar bdl, she of course did it innocently. But the truth is, neither Mrs. Groover or the Doctor ever saw the bill, and we make this statement from the following facts: Bix weeks had elapsed between the settle ment and the time when Toney attempted to pass the bill on Captain Brooks. Harry Mahhett, and Nathan Gazan, all of whom refused it because it was counterfeit, and so told the negro, but still he persisted in his efforts to-pasw it. Failing in all of his efforts, it was. quite convenient to assert that lie got it from Mrs. Groover. The Doctor of course would not submit to such a swindle, and refused to redeem it; hence the affidavit was made and the warrant Issued, and upon the investigation, with these facts only, Commissioner Wade said it was his duty to bind the Doctor in a bond for his nppeiihUii'e at the District Court unless (now mark tin's reader,) mi less he would reimburse Toney and pay all costs. So, according to the Cointiilssiotirf's de cision, the law was vindicated if the Doctor would submit to this system of lilac! -'nai 1 . But the Doctor Wouldn't be black mailed a bit, and, like an honorable malt; tendered his bond; but Captain Turner (Dr. Groover’s lawyer) asked the Commissioner to detain Toney until he could prepare a warrant for him. This caused a wonderful reaction, and Tcrmy sued for peace. We are informed that Toney agreed to pay all costs of the prose cution against Dr. Groover, and that both .warrants were dismissed. Now, reader, if the Commissioner be lieved Dr. Groover to be a guilty man, and after he had deliberately determined to commit him in default of bail, what right had lie to release him upon the pny tnetlt of the costs by the negro. If he be lieved that Dr. Groover was guilty, in releasing him upon payment of costs by bis prosecutor lie himself is guilty of compounding a felony. If he did not be lieve he was guilty, he himself was guilty of an attempt to blackmail him. This is the way the United States laws are vindicated in Quitman, The accused is always innocefit if he pays--guilty if he don’t. Notice to Saloon Keepers. The following notice was sent to all the saloon keepers in Quitman: QiriTMAN-, Ga., Match 7th, 1874. You arc advised by the TenipefatiCe of this place to sto selling liquors of any kind by the Ist of April, otherwise yon will be Visited by the ladies of this place. TemP^Kakce. We have this to say and no more: Some rude jirrsoii or persons did this; the ladies of Quitman knows nothing of it or had nothing to do with if. They have too tiuch modesty and too muoh self-respect to engage in any such a degrading enter prise as a dusty street mock prayer fneeting. Tie' ladies of Quit;:, n are not Annexed with drunken husbands or drunken visitors, and they have do eJeli.se for tire sifiy crusade. bit (Anilman. A correspondent Of the Advertiser and Republican, who has been traveling through Southern Georgia and Florida, has this to say of Quitman: "Our next stopping point was Quitman. This beautiful arid enterprising little town contains pearly two thousand inhabitants, and if it improves as rapidly in the next two years as it has in the past two (and I see uo reason why it should not), it will become the most important point on the Atlantic and Gulf Railroad. The hotels are good and the citizens generally clever and hospitable, and the girls pretty; can also boast of an elegant brass band con sisting of ten pieces. We were fortunate in hearing the said hand discourse some, of their sweetest music. I think it will com pare favorably with any baud' in the State. The Amateur Musical Club gave an enter tainment which was largely attended. The proceeds went for the benefit of one of the churches.” What every euitoroer says must be true, and all nay that the best bar trains can he got at Kattok's New Vors Shone. The RaditsU Met, perhaps by chance (‘’tlie usual way") on the flth ins*., at Quitman, whether by ap pointment cit for a purpose we have not been able to learn, but from all the cir cumstances we are forced to believe that it was by appointment, either for a class meeting or a general convocation of the chief rulers. We do not know that the Fifteenth Amendment citizens were taken into the counsel or not, for we could not loam when or where they held their ses sions; but we are satisfied that it was in the night and at a late hour. Thomas county was represented by Josepli, of Ordinary notoriety, and others to us unknown. Joshua, the High Priest and Prophet of Radicalism, known in ante helium days as the spotted-horse j groomsman, with a Radical blue jeans coat on. was in the midst and with others representing the Radicals of Lowndes. There were others here that day, tlie devil only knows who they were or where they came from. However, they all had the marks of the beast upon them; they all look like sheep-killing dogs that is dread ing mi examination while the wool is in their teeth. One thing a little remarkable, we don’t know whether it is a Radical peculiarity or not, but we rather think it is, from their associations—they all drank gin. Joseph drank freely, purchasing altogether by the bottle. On the night of the 6th there was evi dently some l u-iness to transact, for Joseph was exceedingly restless. His watchfulness and listening attracted the attention of everyone in the saloon, where Joseph had put in his appearance to wait ; for others. So it was determined by some | rude "fellows” that Joseph’s excitement should be pampered a little, so the ser vices of our ventriloquist was brought into requisition, and while Joseph was! sitting in the back of the saloon, all eyes and ears waiting for his kind to come, a voice nwav out in the-niiddle of the street would call “Joe Seward !” and Joe would dish nut with the rapidity of a frightened meteor, no one to be found, after looking ! around all the corners. Joe returned to his seat, and "Joe Seward !" in the street was heard again, and Joe imitated the meteor again, but soon returned to his ; seat to leave it immediately in answer to the same call. This was kept up for a long time, to the infinite amusement of all tlie bystanders, until Joe, answering the veatriloquial calls, met some of his breth ren, who with him, after supplying them-1 selves witli one or more bottles of gin, 1 disappeared from the sight of white men, i o more to be seen that night. We have had no report of the proceedings of the meeting. Tlir qiilinuwi Factory. Notwithstanding the summer rains, the fall storms, and the winter’s financial panic, this institution is still successfully ' operating, the spindles buzzing anil the looms clashing, and the more ponderous I machinery rolling on in almost- profound ■ ilcnoc, eiial h-s one to spend nn hour vert agreeably in listening and watching its movements. There is hut one thing to ! regret, nnd that is that the people don’t feel atid manifest s greater interest in tlie success of this Important Southern enter prise. It is and ought to lie a source of pride to every citizen of Southern Georgia, aud particularly of Brooks county. Our people possess all the essential elements to make this a grand succor’s, and the people , should give It every encouragement and lend all the necessary assistance. If the amount of machinery could be j doubled, which can he run with the same ; (lower they now have, end in the same | house now built, it wonld be the safest and best investment that could be made. It could and Would pay a dividend of from | twenty to thirty pgr Cent, to stockholders. ; Their thread is equal to any manufactured at tile North, and is in great demand in the eastern markets. Their o-naburgs, i sheetings and shirtings are equal to affy; their strip a are excellent, and with them the home demand can’t he supplied. The kind of woolen goods that they manufac j tore is equal to any of that class manufac tured elsewhere. But the most interest ing scene of all is to see, to what extent little hoys and girls can be utilized. Eight and ten *. years old hoys and girls are under the supervision of Mr. Williams, the efficient manager of the spinning and weaving department. These little ones are among the most efficient operatives under his supervision. Everything moves on harmoniously and systematically, each one knowing his or her duty, and cheer fully performing it. Mr. Beal is the superintendent on the first floor. He is a thorough machinist, and everything goes on like clock-work in his department. Mr. James I’ierpout, the book-keeper, ind who, in connection with his clerkship, attends to the (lacking and shipping of all the goods. His efficiency and accuracy in business last year merited an increased salary for the present year. Dr. Hefiry'Briggs, the. President, is the , general superintendent of every depart ment, and fhe Stockholders may rest as sured that bo attention will be lacking.

Louis to louiurlllr, [From the Louisville C inrlnr-Jounitl.] The night train left S . Louis for this city on Thursday night about 7 o'clock with a good load of passengers, who wore comfortable and warm in the sleeping coaches, although the sir without was rather cool and chilly. Before the train | started a lad, between sixteen and soveu ' teen years of age, stole softly under one of tio sleeping coaches straddled himself across a truck, about five inches wide, nnd lying on his stomach, liis hands clutching a cold iron bur übovo for support, and liis feet entangled in a chain below, be pre pared himself for an all night free ride over more than three hundred miles of road. Did ho think that any moment he could be jostled off bis insecure hiding place and perhaps left in some uninhab ited portion of the country through which tho train passed alone to die? Did he consular that sleep might overcome him while on his perilous trip and death ensue, or that numbness might creep over him aud liis bands thus fai him as a support ? Doubtless not. He was only thinking, probably, of reaching liis destination, which was liis home, and which he hud but lately left. The train moved on, the hoy clutched the iron bar tighter and hugged his sup port more closely. Off shht the train, tlie iron horse screeching its loudest; faster, until its speed at timid reached a mile a minute; but still the boy, only about four feet from the ground, kept his bold, never closing his eyes for a minute. Wliaf thoughts must have flashed through liis mind, young as ho was minutes must lav i seemed hours, and hours weeks. ' u the night at last was done; the first hi leaks o' dawn illuminated the horizon, and when the train reached Otiseo, Ind., about twenty miles from Jeffersonville, the boy was still safe and sound. Some of the chains of the brakes had become broken, and ill repairing fliem the men found to their astonishment, the boy still lying there, unconcerned and even laugh ing. He was taken off by the conductor, stiff and cold, and covered with dust from head to foot. The conductor qn stioned him as to how he attempted Ml li a ride. He replied that he lived in Jeffersonville, and that a short time ago lie want to St. Louis with an elder brother, who rail away to Cali fornia, leaving him in a large city alone with no money; that wishing to get home, he undertook this novel method, aud, said he, "I didn’t mind it so much except for the dus*,” The conductor said that as lie had ridden thus fir free, he might take the best seat nside tli > ears and ride the l est o r the way at the -nine cost. On the back Of his eut were littl > rei A which had been made during the night by tlie slight pres.-,i re of the ca • on his back. Expressions of sympathy were tendered by the passengers as soon as they heard of his perilous journey, many of them saying they would have been willing to have paid his passagu had they known of liis reek l-*ss determination. It vntt indeed a won derful ride, and bi tok-iol an extraordi nary courage on the part >f I lie boy. ♦ A New York doctor says the heart is napa' le of beating 3,127 times per hour, hill wo don’t believe it.
