Negroes Charged With Playing Ku-klux In Monroe County. On the 11:17 train from Atlanta Wed nesday night, United States Deputy Mar shals Weld, King and Cl«»lr» brought down from Monroe county, a batch of eight prisoners, and lodged them in jaU until yesterday morning. They were arrested tor violating sec tions 5508 0 revised statutes, which wero codiflcd from the civil rights bill and cov ered the Ku-klux violations. Tbe.warraata were for Moses Dumas, Sam and Munch Tyson. Joe Head, Gus Parker, Willis and Lewis Howard, and Rich McGow. The case came up before Commissioner L. M. Erwin yesterday, Col. Robert L. Berner, of Forsyth, appearing for the pris oners. The party who ia said to have suffered at the hands of the alleged ku-klux is a long, tall negro named John Butler. He wore one suspender and a wrinkled linen duster that reached down to his shanks, and no well organized body of Ku-klux could have passed him by unmolested without regret. He was placed upon the witness stand and thus unfolded bis tale of woe: "My name ia John Butler and I live in Monroe county on Mr. Dewberry's place. On the tint Saturday In June, beioreday, there came to my house thirteen men in disguise. They had smut all over their faces—Moses Dumas, Sam Tyson, Munch Tyson, white, and Willis Howard. Joe Head, Rich McGow, Gus Parks, Abe How ard, Lewis Howard, a negro named Jones, wiio had smut on his face, but I don't know what Jones it was. They came about 3 o'clock. Dumas came tc the door and hailed. At last I answered and went to the door. He proposed to me to open the door, but I asked what was the matter; w had some talk and pulling back the stick which held the door, I saw the men with smut on their faces, and then Dumas com. rnenced to shoot at me. Ho came very near killing one of the women in the house. They took me away over to Ramah meet ing house, Hardshell, and tied me to a tree. They wanted to know something about a store being broken open. They-beat me with a hickory, cutting my coat nil to pieces. Had no hat or shoes, and they marched me tbrougii the swamp. 1 am sixty years old, and never bad a lick until Mr. Dumas struck me that night. Mr. Dumas, Willis and Abe How ard caught me when I opened the door. Tho women wore so scared that they would not come out of the house. They tied me at the church, when they beat me. Dumas and Munch Tyson did the beating. I have not been able to do any work since. The others stood by while the beating was ing on. Laid up in bed four days. 1 Sid Stokes and Mr. Tom Dewberry saw my condition. jWitm-si showed the marks on his person caused by the beating, and also a Huger on left hand claimed to have been broken by a lick from Dumas's pistol. The men had blacking on their face*. A man told me they used three boxes of blacking. The stick they left had a little blacking oa it and it smelt just like stove blacking. : Witness showed a stick with leaden handle.] The women folks picked up the stick next morning. [Buthr identl fled all the prisoners as being present at the beating, and said he had been raised with them ail excepted the "'possum, headed one."] Isaac Parks, grandfather of Gus Parks, told me about the blacking. They dragged me b; Mr. Gibson's Diace, and Mr. Dumas bol lowed out, 'We've got him,’ and Mr. Gib son, who is a justice of the peace, told them to carry mo on and not bring me to hia house.” This story was told In a rambling sort of way. the witness never looking tils ques tioner in the eye. On the cross-examina tion, which was adroitly conducted by Cclonel Berner, it came to light that the church spoken of by Butler, was about ten miles from Forsyth and two, miles from Butler's house. Butler said on cross- examination that becounted eight negroes and three white men in the party, making eleven in all. On the direct Examination he swore there were thirteen, and seeing the dircrepsncy said they were so twisted up that lie must have counted some twice, as be wts positive he counted thirteen. It alio turns out that Butler is now under bond tor forging an order on Titos. Dewberry, tor four dollars worth of gro ceries from Tyson A Horn's store. It is also said thst be tears a bad reputation, undone witness on the stand swore he wouldn’t believe him on his oath, Tbe defense introduced no testimony. The eight men were placed under a bond of $500 each, and they returned to Forsyth last night. THE WILKINSON COUNTY AEFAIR. Arrest of One of the Parties Chareed .with the Crime. Some time ago we published a report of a horrible affair m Wilkinson county. From the statements gathered at that time, and from the affidavit upon which warrants were issued by United Btates Commissioner Erwin, the following la about the substance of the many reports extant: It seems that Doc Hinson. Doc Ed mondson. Jonah Ryals and Newt Hutson are formers in Wilkinson county, and all live within five miles of Gordon and about one mile from each other. Some time during the early part of June, Doc Hinson was arrested on a charge of stealing a suit ■* clothes and sixty cents in money Irom als. He was taken to Gordon, and at iprellmtiary examination, before Jus tice S. J. Dennard, ho was discharged. While on bis way home from Gordon, he was stopped in the road by three men in disguise, who sprang from the bushes, one of them with a buggy trace in bis hand. Hinson was then tied and beaten so badly with the buggy trace that be died. Hfs body was then tied to the rear of a buggy and dragged to a field, where a negro was made to dig a grave. Into this tho body was thrown and the grave filled up and plowed over. Edmondson, Ryals and Hutson were CITY ITEMS. —There are now thirty-elx convicts on the county chain-gang, more than has been on it for a longtime.

"Enny man what aayi snakes down in dia country ia got feet ia a doggon liar,” ■aid Austin. ''An' enny man what say* dey la not got feet ia a thieving rascal.” said Lazarus. They were about to bitch, when officer Bally came along and summoned them be fore the recorder. Yesterday morning Ltzarua wu fined 12.50 for hia part of the disorder ssd Austin dismissed. Killed by Lightning Mr. Htrry Garvin came in from Jones county yesterday and furnished ns with the following particulars of the work of the lightning in that county, about seven and a half miles from Macon, ou tbe Clin ton road: About the time of the thunder atorm which swept over Macon early yesterday morning, lightning struck the house of Mr. Sam Ward, tearing off the weather* boarding and shingles.

Tbe grand ury took up the matter, but after exsm- nlng one witness failed to find a true bill. The people gave the three men a bad name, and it is said they openly defied any officer of the law to attempt an arrest. This open defiance of law and the reckless bear ing of the men caused the people in the neighborhood to greatly fear them. No me could be found bravo enough to molest hem, though the best class of people ’ the county were anxious that if such awful crime had been committed It should not go unpunished. A short while ago, Wm. Hinson, brother of Doc, appeared before Commis sioner Erwin, and made affidavit as to tbe facta related above. The matter involved a constitutional question of jurisdiction, and Commissioner Erwin laid the facts be fore District Attorney Darnell, then in Savannah, who ordered that tbe warrants be issued. These warrants were placed in the hands of Deputy Marshals Casn, Weld and Raley, and tney left Macon on Thursday nigni for Gordon. At 5 o'clock yesterday morn ing, the marshals started out on foot for the homes of the accused. While on the way, they met up with a young man riding a mule, and an ordinary conversation en sued. Weld suspected that this man would go off and inform the accused of the presence of the three strange men in the neighborhood, but the marshals finally decided that as there was nothing suspicious about them, there was nothing to be feared on that score. They then proceeded to Ryals's house, which was pointed out by the man on the mule. The marshals noticed that he rode up to Ryals and said something to him in a low tone of voice. They at once placed Ryals under arrest and proceeded to go to Edmondson's house. Edmondson was not at home, but they again saw the man on the mule, who went off and returned, and then disappeared through Ryals's lot. The marshals went to Hut,,on's house but found him absent also. They then went on to Gordon. It was here that they were told by Ryals that the man on the mule was no other than Hutson, (or whom they bad a warrant. He had gone on and informed Edmondson giving him time to leave. Ryals sent his son to the picnic at Kel. son’s Mill, where Edmondson was tup posed to have gone, to tell him to como L and give himself up, but he did not return. When the train arrived the party got on board and came to Macon. On the way Ryals refused to talk much. He neither denied or confessed the crime. He said that Doc Hinson disappeared In a similar manner once, and was gone for two years. He was placed in charge of Marshal Raley, who kept him duriog the night. The friends of the accused eay that Edmondson and Hutson will come in and give themselves np, that they may be afforded e bearing at once. . It is claimed by their friende that tbi accused men were not the men In disguise, and that Hiuson'a sudden end mysterious disappearance ia due to his eccentric char acter. ADMITTED TO BAIL. The Wilkinson County Case Before the Commissioner. As we announced, Messri. Edmondsofi and Hudson who, with Jonah Ryals, are charged with having murdered a men named Hinton, on or about Jane 15, the particulars of which were given In yester- day's issne, came In town to give them- selvee op. They were found on Mnlberry street and arrested while on their way to the United States court room. As soon es the men learned of the war rants, they employed Colonel J. D, Jones, of Twiggs, to represent them. He at once edvised Mestra. Edmondson aud Hudson to come in end surrender. They arrived ig . T turns for some collections while acting bailiff for that county. —The compress is being put in good condition for tbe cotton season, which opens September 1st. Quite a number of improvements have been made to tbe warebouae, and English A Huguenln will be better prepared this year for compress work and handling of cotton. —The producers and shippers of melons in Bibb county are not crowing over their receipts. One told us yesterday that he was considerably in debt, but hoped to make up on future shipments. Mr. Wiley Harris yesterday shipped his first car load, for which he expects to get 395. Il goes to Mansfield. Ohio. —Coming up the other day from Iirunr- wick, Conductor Sam Adie saw a large ali- gator swimming in a pond near the rail road. His t[ain was going at the rate of twenty-live miles an hour, but he managed to kill the 'gator with two shots from a Winchester rifle. This fact is vouched for by all the passengers on tbe train. —During the thunderstorm of Friday morning, a bolt of lightning performed some curious antics on the grounds of Pio Kono College. It struck the ’ground and hnnared make re ran under it for about an hundred yards, the track appearing as if a large mole had burrowed under the ground. It then left the ground and followed the fence for a mslderablc distance. —One night last week Mr. H. J. Lamar. Jr., was robbed of his watch by a thief who went Into his room in Vlneville. The thief took the watch, which is a fine one, to a gentleman to sell the other day, but recognizing the chronometer at once, it was held and the negro who presented it told to come back. The watch was turned over to Mr. Lamar, but the man failed to put in a second appearanc* —Yesterday morning a negro named Henry Calhoun, while unloading lumber at tbe railroad trestle on Poplar street, hsd his arm broken by a piece of falling scant ling. Tbe arm was broken juat at the wrist. He was taktn to his home in the allev below the jail and the arm set by Dr. C- H. Hall. The scantling fell from tbe railroad several feet above where Henry was standing, and a while raaD, who was near by. narrowly missed being stsuck on the head. onel Darnell, the district attorney, at Sa vannah, recommending bail. Colonel Darnell agreed, end the prisoner* were pieced under a bond o( 31,000 each by Commissioner Erwin, the trial being set for Thursday, the 7tfa. The prisoners deny that Hinson was murdered, but Indirectly admit that be was beaten, though they do not say that they were implicated in even that part of tbe affair. They are plain sort of formeri, not one of them bearing anything of the air of a desperado or ruffian. Mr. Ryals is given a good name by quite a lam number of reaoectahla citizens of Wilkinson county. Cotonel Joaei, Justice Dennard and Judge Reynolds, all of whom are well known citizens, say that Mr. Ryals is a peaceable, law-abiding man, and that this Is the first offense he wu cvtrcbtrged with. We are to'd that Hinson, the supposed murdered man. Is an eccentric genius, and hu on several occasions suddenly absented himself from the county, and remaining away many months at a time. It Is thought that be felt keenly tbe disgrace of being whipped and went away. The crime aa charged ia one that will be thoroughly investigated. Weather This Month.

Who Are Snoken of as Candidates for the Various Offices. Though at a very early hour of the cam- palgti, the people are talking about who will be the next city, county and State offi cers. The peop'e seem to want to know who is in tbe race, and inquiries are made daily. So far aa we have teen able to learn, those who expect to risk the suffrage ol their friends and their chances to bs elected have already announced themselves, and dark horses will be aca'ce except among tbe aldermen. For the county offices there has not yet position * — unary, coroner, tnougn it is t be an attempt to make changes in the board of county commissioners. What changes these are we have not teen able to find oat. There scorns to be a general desire for the solicitor-generalship, which Captain Hardeman now holds. Among the candi dates for that position we hear of Captain Hardeman, R. I) Smith, of Crawford, W. E. Collier and M. G. Blair, of Houston county, and John W. Robinson, of Bibb. For the mayoralty it is pretty generally understood that there will be three candf- dates-Captaln Dunlap, Captain F. S. Johnson and Mr. Daiay Price. That Cap tain Dunlap and Mr. Price are in the race Is certain, as both gentlemen have so sig nified, but Captain Johnson has not yet decided. He la In the hands of hta friends and la content to do their bidding. For aldermen, we bzar of a multitude of candidates. Mr. Henry Horne, who baa made a most excellent alderman, de clares be will not run again under any dr. cumstancea. Three or four others have declared the lame thing, but there will be a full crop of candidates to take their places. Among those we have hearl mentioned are Colonel W. H Wyl- ,V. M. Fitzgerald. W. W. Collins. Chris Wilder, IF. W. Wlppler, W. R. 8inglcton, Emory W(.?'bip, Tom Burke T. D. Tins ley, 8. R. .l»quet. Elliot Estes, John Ingalls, W. O. Smith Berry Smith, Ambrose Crutch field, Arthur Wood, Dee Jordan, Asher Ayres. Tom U. ComC; W. W. Carnes and others. There will no Joubt bo a nominat'on aa last year to nominate an aldermanic ticket. For tbe Legislature there does not seem to be a very large crop of candidates. We have endeavored to find out who are of fered for these positions, and are rewarded hv Uio following names: W. A. Lotion, N. E. Harris, Cnarlei L. Bartlett, John Y. Lowe and Ftlix Corput. If there be others, their oaraes have not yet come to the surface. It la rather early to ba discussing these candidates, but as tbe people are talking about them, it mav be well to lay who are thinking of running.

An Albany dispatch to the New York World has the following in regard to the plaoa of the Democratic national commit tee: "It la understood that the plan for con ducting the raropsign as agreed upon by tbe tub-committee is a very systematic one. It provides among other things that there shall be a working committee of five, who ahull be constantly in New York city. The members of tills committee have not been selected, but it ia thought they will be William A. Barnuni, of Connecticut- William A. Wallace, of Pennsylvania; A. P. Gorman, of Maryland; John S. Barbour, of Virginia, and H. " Thompson, of New York. Tbe plan also provides that the members of tbe national committee shall act in unison with the chairman of their respective Suite committees, and offer suggestions aud make reports. To avoid claabing. however, all information sent to the work ing committee of the national committee is to come through the chairmen of the State campaign committees. The Congres sional campaign committee is to look after tbe doubtful districts, about{serenty-eight in number. Senator Gorinau is chairman ot this committee. If he is made one of the working committee of the national committee, reports sent to him about Con gressional contests will be of much ad vantage to the national committee." Is This the Demooratlo Programme ? San Francisco Chronicle. Mr. Wattereon, of tho Louisville Courier-Journal, linn just announced the programme of the Democratic party for next year, should Cleveland be elected, for Cleveland’s election implies a Dem ocratic majority in the next Congress. He says: “When tho battle is over and won we are going to reduce the war taxes at least 3100,000,000, and reduce the tariff to a peace bsBis.” The Democratic platform, among other tilings, declares in favor of re taining tlie existing internal revenue taxes. These are estimated at 3120,- 000,000 for the current fiscal year, and ay reach 3U-'>,000,000 for the year ending June 30, 18S6, when according to tho Watterson programme, the Dem ocrats are to be in possession of the overnment and Congress, and will re bec the’revenues by “3100,000,000 at least.’’ If they retain tho taxes for internal reven <e, as their platform says they should, then this 3100,000,000 reduction must ail be taken from the tariff revenues. It will leave about 300,000,000 onlv from that source, against 3214,720',000 for 1883, 3190,000,- SCHOFIELD’S IRON WORKS, MACON, - GEORGIA. J. S. Schofield & Soi\.

The plan proposed is to cut down the tariff 54 per cent, and reduce the total receipts from ail sources from the es timate of the Secretary of the Treasury for 1885 ($343,000,000) to certainly not more than $243,000,000, and the Secre tary's estimates for 1885 arc $282,000,- 000, Tne government will Httve to borrow at least $40,000,000 to meet Us expenses for 1880, or fail in its obliga tions to tho pensioners or the bond holders. Of course it will borrow, and thus the Democratic policy, as Watter son announces it, is to increase- the debt instead of diminishing it. The tariff reduced by “$100,000,000 at least ”or54 percent., wiil afford no protection to our manufacturers and those employ ed by them.
