As the day advanced, the ®\, ( , became more numerous and con- EL. until it was flaaHy circulated that S'.„d court house had been burned, id that the town was in the wildest state r excitement and confusion, A reporter of tho Tiusuiurir, immedi- upon learning of theulleged Hot, set ‘ .Jt , 0 gather some facta, but was unable iLcc the information to nny reliable or Lmte source. It was indeed strange that no one who was approached could give account of tho origin of his Informs- The whole affair was wrapped in fflvstery, and nothing really definite was Eld until a "spociaP 1 was received from irregular correspondent at that point, giasrjfuftiwsgs which great indignation was expressed that a reporta-a sensation, so to speak- •ounwarranted and untruo should have Sen circulated. Our correspondent con cluded thus: "There was no riot, no suv nicions demonstrations, no threats, but ■light apprehensions, and the county nnd town today are “ s peaceful as anyplace The'rumors referred to above probably originated from the fact that it was report ed a few days ago that the notorious Clarke had been haranguing tlie negroes ef that section with some effect,.and di rected in bis speech at County Line Church U the negroes to meet him at Sandersville on the 31st of March, and from the addi tional fact that the mayor of tho town tel egraphed to Savannah for extra animuni- goo. It ij pleasant to state, in view of tlic ..leisure that the Republican press would uke in bowling over such an event, that no such riot occurred. The negroes oi Sandersviilc and Washington county, nt least the larger and better portion of them, oppose Clarke and bis principles, and are upright, industrious citixens. With the whites of that section, they deplore the unpleasant notoriety into which they have been dragged, and pronounce the whole affair a fabrication from beginning to end.

Th* ■*nje [ ' is true of liOU»elio‘ ‘ ^nods. Home men I give in such property at a rum which trould not purchase the articles in one sin-1 f ;le room. Th« same discrepancy exists n giving in money, bonds and notes, and other articles subject to taxation. The extent to which tuts practice obtains is alarming, and the dishonesty connected with tax returns is simply outrageous. It Is an evil which the grand jury should take hold of and probe to the bottom. They arc the guardians of the people’s interests, nnd should see that justice is done between man and man, as well as between tho citi zen and the county government. The writer lias long felt the inequality existing in the burden of taxation, ar.d had earnest ly hoped that the hill before the last legis lature would have become a law. and that the defaulters would lie brought up to the proper discharge of duty in the premises. That failed and the only recourse is an ap peal to the grand jury, which will soon convene, to right this wrong. It is true, that a board of tax assessors lias been ap pointed to regulate the giving in of real estate, but there is no method by which they can reach personality. THE NEWS IN GEORGIA.

Central Aguoro Slips Out of Ker West With a Dozen Men. IttunairniD to Tnx associated raxes.] Savaxeab, Ga., April 2.—A special to the Morning A’rie,from Key West says: Reliable reports cay that the schooner Shorters left last night, with General Agturo and twenty men, well armed, for Cuba. The revenue cutter Diz left this morning in pursuit. Tho Spanish consul is aboanlthe Diz. There is great excite ment here. KxsWxn, April 2.—General Aguero, with about a dozen men, ia said to have cleared oat last night about 11 o'clock, A twenty ton schooner is missing, which they stole or bought. The Hpani.li consul declares he wss near the beach and aaw them go aboard. He sara he then went to the revenue cutter and requested that .he should chase the schooner, and wai told that the entter would leave in puriult at 5 o'clock, lie also visited both war ves sels here, and were told that they were not readr. The revenue cutter Dlx went in pursuit of ibe schooner thia morning. Wahiisotox, D. C., April 2.—informa tion originating with the Spanish consul at Key West was received br Secretary Folgcr, through the State Department channels, last Saturday evening, to the tflrettliat a Cuban revolutionary expedi tion was being organized at Key West by <>cn. Aguero; that he had collected 100 well armed men and stores of explosives sad that the expedition might be cximcted to start from our shores at an early day. Orders were therefore telegraphed to the commanders of revenue cutters Governor mx, supposed to bo at Key West, and Ocorge lloutwell. at Savannah, to tako steps immediately to prevent any such notation of the law, and instructions were a ho lelegraphed to two special agents “f the Treasury Department, one in Flori da and the other in Georgia, to proceed to Key \\ est an-' assist in any Deeded in- Tsai _ t f. t.. I t.ss Prince Leopold's Presentiment. Cablegram. A molt extraordinary presentiment on tl»® part of Prince Leopold Is now related on tho highest authority. On hU way to Cannes the Prince was conveyed aboard the fine private yacht owned by his favor ite companion. Extra Equery, Captain Alexander Glcntworth Taut Clifton Per ceval. It is not generally known that this yacht was wrecked with the royal party aboard in the Gulf of Frejus, and when but a short distance oil Cannes. The wreck of the craft was complete, but no lives were lost, owing to the nearness at the time of the persons who rescued the party, but the young Prince was much prostrated by alarm and upon his recovery issued the strictest orders to keep secret the story of the accident, because he feared the i esult of the intelligence upon the health of the Princess. That afternoon, when Leo pold hod safely reached his private apart ments in the Villa Nevada, he lay down to sleep away his nervousness, when he woke he sent for Captain Perceval and talked with him about the wreck. The conversation took place In the royal sleep ing apartment and Leopold was unusually melancholy. He sat at a window over looking the beautiful hay and casting a sorrowful look toward the place where the accident occurred, said plaintively: "Perceval, I know not why It is, but I have the most gloomy forebodings, I have such ill luck. 1 would n- t mind it if it affected me only, but my evil fate seems determined to make my friends share my misfortune. I believe I am doomed to bring sorrow and disaster to all those whom I desire to be with me as my friends. Tills feeling oppressed me inexpressibly to day, and 1 have been unable to rid my self of the thought that! would rather die here than anywhere else I have ever been.” These sentiments w»re uttered with most painful seriousness, and Per ceval says that as the Prince ipoko he looked constantly at the beautiful water with a wistful expression. I Leopold died in Perceval's arms, in the very room, and before the very win dow where he mentioned his melancholy. The report that the remains of Prince Leo pold will be emlnhucd is officially denied. All the preparations for scientific prepara tion had been ordered and arranged, bn* have been countermanded at the request of the widow. The Princess Helena, w!*^ is in delicate health, and e l’.! «uu h pros trated bv the suddenness and appalling na ture of her bereavement, opposes the em balming. She besought the Oucon to leave the remains of the beloved dead to the slow nnd kindly touch of nature rather than commit them to the harsh ami un feeling enro of science. The physicians will, however, subject the body to arsen ical treatment in order to preserve It for the funeral next Friday. QATHFRED BY CORRESPONDENCE AND FROM THE PRESS. What Ho Wants to Seo.

Disagreement Between Foreigners. Atlanta Journal. The Italian editor of our morning contemporary claims that there is no such phrase in the French language as now de plume. Most cultured French men would differ with him on this point. Mum ford, of the New Era, doesn’t like the talk about tho “mountain” di vision of the counties over in the fourth district. He is even inclined to dis pute the fact of there being any “moun tain’’ in the district. This Ik all right. Let the discussion go on. It will not do for things to stagnate for want of healthy agitation. FINANCIAL April — June ... July .........

Many innocent and other wise persons have been imposed upon during tho observance of the day, whilst undoubtedly there are 'numer ous |iereona who consider themselves too smart to be caught napping. Many of tlie reader* of the Timet arc per haps not aware of the Biblical origin of the day.

Upon inquiry we iflnd the public romls In as good condition m the circumstances will permit, except that portion of the Macon and Columbus road runuine through tho third district. Thcrea- sou of this defect K that the road coinmls- irioncni, M. II. MrMurray, J. L. Marshall and ]. F. Kenedy, did not issue any comm I—Ion* ■I rood overseers for the year law, and the I consequence was the rosd was not worked at all during that year, nor have any bceu Is* suc<l for tqls year until withlfi the last few days. There has been a petition presented by a large numt>cr of citlscns to do away with that portion of the public road from Williams's mill to DavUvllle school himse, and we rec ommend the proper authority to do so. Wei recommend that the clerk of the Superior f’ourt be paid forty dollars for Insol ventcost. We also recommend that J. F. Hartley be ap pointed notary public and ex-offi cio iuitlc# of the peace for the 53*1 district. O. M.. vice W. B. Jordan, whose term has expired. We recommend to I our Senator and Representative in the next Legislature to strive to have re-enacted thc| law of February 2B, 1W8 in regard to the pay- I men! of insolvent cost* to county ofilcersms It Is a great burdeu upon the clerk, sheriff and Justices of the peace and constables to per- Ifortu the labor of upholding the criminal laws of the 8t*tc without hope of fair compensation. We are gratified at the moral excellence at tained by our eounty in the last two or three years, and we attrltmu the decrease of crime mainly to thehanlsharentof the retail whisky trade. We hope the time will anon coma whan it will be entirely banished from our county. In taking leave of his honor. Judge T. J. Simmons, we would thank him for the able and impartial manner In which he has dis patched the business of the court, and to So licitor-General Hardeman for courtesies to this body shown.
