Cat oir the EiMiubutloa by AMarlng ihr

Testimony of the Prosecutor he
Would Commit the Accused.
On Friday of last week unite a company
of mounted mi ll entered our quiet village,
armed with gnus aud pistols, hunting the
United States Commissioner’s office to de
liver James Guv, against whom Commis
sioner Wade, upon the affidavit of one
Hardwick, had issued a Warrant for
a violation of the ku-klux laws. The
Commissioner was very much rejoiced
that he had succeeded in capturing the
said Gav, exhibiting a spirit- of vindictive
ness towards the prisoner, rather than a
calm determination to administer the law
j impartially, a characteristic that everyone
I authorised to hold courts of inquiry
i should possess, but which we regret to say
since he has been abandoned by all res
' peetable citizens is a stranger to him. The
defendant’s attorney asked for time to pro
i cure witnesses to invalidate the prosecu
tor's testimony, and prove that the de
fendant took no part in whipping the mau
—which was tlie foundation of the eh rge
—but t tint he used every menus in his
power to prevent it. The attorney was as
sort'd that such evidence would do no
good, as he was determined to take Hard*
wick’s testimony, and would column he
accused, when he well knew that the Cos rt
to which he was commuting him for trial
lmd not, nor would not take jurisdiction
of the case, unless the United States At
torney General is ns corrupt as he is,
which is by no means impossible. But we
think the highest evidence of his viudie
j tiveuess was exhibited in the fraud and de
cepiton he practiced upon Jim Murphy,
who acted as Marshal in arresting Gay.
Murphy is an ignorant man, without edu
cation, can’t read a word or write his
! name. The Commissioner, so-called, told
tlie poor, ignorant fellow that he was
obliged to execute the warrant, or he never
would have had anything to do with it.
15at clothed, as he thought, with United
States authority, he had a perfect right to
kill any mail that dare to speak to him.
So, upon being asked bv a quiet, citizen if
he had any hogs for sale, he immediately
attempted to murder him. A warrant was
sued out by Mr Demur, tlie tnnU thus
wickedly assailed, for an assault with in
tent to tnurd r, and he was arrested, and
the i vit vigilant ( ommissioner soon issued
his warrant against Devane for an attempt
to rescue the prisoner from his own (Wade's)
I United States Marshal. So, on Monday
the said James Morphy and Gal Murphy,
who was also c’ urged in the same war
rant. warn taken before his Honor, Judge
; E. It Harden, who held the court of in
I qitiry, and we learn (for we were not pres
ent) that the contest between the contend
ing lawyers waxed warmer and warmer un
til the close of day —the prosecution be
ing represented by Hunter. Turner and
Bennett A Kingsberry, and the defend
ant by ('apt. J. G. McCall. Wade and Sam
Griffin assisting. After a night’s delibera
tion uni consultation, the defendant’s
counsel became satisfied that his client’s
case was worse than lie at first thought it
to lie. So on Tuesday morning Capt. Mc-
Call, who, we frankly say, always perse
veres in the interest of his clients, made
propositions for a compromise, the prose
cuting attorneys believing that by acced
ing to the propositions the boot interests !
of society' would be subserved, and the
agreement was made. The prosecutor
consenting, the defendants paid the cost
and went home with feelings, as we are in
formed, not very devoted to the Com- \
wissioner, who had so grossly deceived
them. We have as vet been unable to as- ;
certain the terms of the compromise, bull
have no doubt it was for the best.

Since our last publication, our friend !
Col. B. F. Wurdlaw, of Madison, Fla.,
who is on a visit to his many friends in
our town, has favored lis in our sanctum
with frequent calls, and we confess that it j
is always a pleasure to lay down our pen
and look in his genial face and inter
change ideas with him. It give us new
life and animation, and rest to our wearied ]
hand. He goes from berg to the Baptist
Association in Lowndes county. He is a
devoted member of the Baptist church, but
not excessively egotistic or dogmatic
in his opinions. He is a companionable
fellow, and needs a companion, for it is
not good (he thinks) to be alone. We
hope some good lady will sympathize with
him in his loneliness, and abundantly sup- i
ply him with such smiles as will make i
him truly happy. We can assure them !
that all their goodness w ill be appreciated
and reciprocated by our friend.

is no greater facility for the transmission j

If the advertisements of the Great
i Eastrfti bo true it is the greatest curse
that could visit our already embarrassed
country in a tinaueiul point of view. They
would not stop here if they did not expect
to make it protitahla. Ilow much will the
people have to pay them to make it protit
able? They say they have forty cages of
animals, some of which cost them $15,-
000. According to their own statement,
their outfit cost more than a half million
of dollars. Aud, further, their own state
ment shows that they have in all a thous
and men and women, including actors, ac
tresses and laborers, which will cost at
least $1,500 per day to lizard them, be
sides their wages, which cannot be loss—
according to their own statement—than
SI,OOO per day. Besides this there is the
expense of their hundreds of horses, the
daily expense of one or two trains of cars,
county and city licenses, making in the
aggregate their expenses not less than
$1,500 per day. Now, it u! ir ...Ivertise
inents be true these expenses cannot be
less than the sum above stated; aud f
course they expect the people of Brooks
county to pay that, and a greater amount,
that they may realize a profit—a sum much
greater than our entire comity tax, and
the people are complaining that they can’t
pay that on account of the scarcity of
money.
Taking these facts and figures, isn't it
conclusive evidence that their advertise
ments are false; that the big pictures and
long-winded advertim incuts are deceptions
and frauds to allure and swindle by false
pretences, the people out of their money.
But w have more conclusive evidence of
this gt'i it fraud than any w have referred
to. I; will be remembered that less than
; one year ago this same gigantic humbug
had their same monster lulls posted tip,
and their hand bills scattered all over the
country, assuring the people that the
I Great Eastern was coming, with its four
acres of pavilion, its 40 cages of animals,
hundreds of horses, and its thousand men
and women, and its steam piano, that
| could be heard .>vo miles. Who was it
that believed them then that was liot dis
appointed and swindled? Who will he-
I lieve them now to be disappointed and
swindled again? Very few. wc think. We
would suggest to those who are fond of
such exhibitions to consider their coun
try’s interest for this one time and wait
until the times are more favorable for such
amusement, and when the expenses would
not be so seriously felt. There will be
other shows here this winter far superior
to this, anil you will have other opportu
nities, if act unwisely you will. It is your,
duty to pay your merchants who have
furnished you with supplies, your doctors
who have saved your lives, your law
yers who have guarded your legal inter
ests, your preachers who have been labor
ing to save your souls from sin, and above
all in importance, pay Thu Indki'E.WEXT
that warns you of coming evils, such as
the Great Eastern, and the thieving, God
forsaken Radical pestilences that infest the
! country, and when you have acted up to
this standard of morals the preachers, and
The Independent will rejoice at your de
livery from sin aud Radicalism.
On the day that the show is to bo in
Qitttmun go to the Fair at Thomasville,
aud you will see a show that will be en
couraging and profitable to you, and your
money expended w ill not be carried out of
the country, but will still remain and cir
culate in our midst.

Evcryihing G.mr Down.
Money seems to have gone out of ex
istence, and everything gone down; the!
prices offered the planter for hi t cotton j
are contemptible, compured with the ac
tual cost of production; but the blame is
not to be attributed to our merchants, the
cause is remote. Onr tin re!:. ; ■ ore offer
ing liberal prices—far above toe cash
prices—for cotton in payment of accounts, i
If, in the payment of debts, the planter '
can get a fair price for cotton, lie lifts no
right nor cause of complaint; for if fair
prices will pay him out of debt and leave
him a surplus he can hold the surplus.
Notwithstanding all and singular the dis
asters that befall the crops, John Tillman
is offering to pay fair prices for cotton to
all his customers who are indebted to him.
And so anxious is he for money, for just a
little he will sell the most fabulous quan
tity of goods. Reader (don’t mention our j
name, keep that a secret), we assure you ,
if you will slip in on John any time with-!
in the next thirty days, and let him know
you have money or cotton, you will get tie;
best bargains you ever bought in y iuri
life. Do as we toll you, but don’t men

The HaptUt Ansoi ialion at Harmony La*t
Sunday.
We enjoyed the pleasure of visiting the j
family of Mr. Vt eldon, seme four miles
north of Boston, in Thomas county, on
Saturday and Sunday last. On Sunday
we were provided with a comfortable con
vi yn e, and interesting company, to i
the Association. The Association was
largely attended —quite a number f min
isters in attendance. The sermons were j
earnest and persuasive; the ministers were
much animated and zealous in the good
cause. The Primitive Baptists are a peo- j
pie in whom, ns Christians, w e have the j
highest confidence. We think as a class j
they live as near up to the “golden rule”,
as it is possible in this life. The citizens ;
in the immediate neighborhood had made !
at pie provisions, and came with supplies |
sufficient to feed the immense crowd of
visitors and strangers. Mr. W’s family
carried a large basket, filled with tlie most
inviting food, out of which a number of
ns feasted, and there was plenty left. W e
returned to Mr, W’s after the services, and
with that interesting and happy family
spent tl>e night. Their kindness will be
gratefully remembered by mi

The picture gallery of Messrs. Kitchell k
Etsou is getting to be the place of resort
of almost nil the citizens of Quitman.
The truth is, such artists have never been
here. With the highest skill of the art,
all their work is executed. Their pictures
are attracting the attention, and exciting
the admiration of all who havo refined
tates. Now is the time, as their stay will
be short. Don’t let the opportunity pass;
such artists cannot afford to wait in a little
tow n for patronage. There is richer re
wards for their merit elsewhere, and they
will seek it. It is true you can live with
out their work, but certainly it is one of
the highest pleasures, when loved ones are
gone, to have them ever present with you
in miniature. Money thus expended is
never regretted. None have seen their
work that don’t pronounce it superior to
any ever done in this country.
We have had quite a number taken, but
find our friends (who desire to retain our
shadow after the substance is gone) more
numerous than the pictures. However,
its long as the negatives last, we will en
deavor to supply all who are curious to
see what sort of an animal the editor of
