may become a more homogeneous peo
ple. The soldiers of the North and of
the South were the first to bring about
this blessing of good-will. After the
war was over I went to Washington,
where I visited my old friend and
schoolmate, General Grant. He asked
me if I was ready to be anmested, and
when I told him yes lie gave me a
strong letter to President Johnson, and
I called on him the next day. After a
long talk in 1 put me off until the next
day. Then there was another long
talk, and finally President Johnson
said to me: ‘There are three men
in this country who can never
enjoy the benefits of amnesty—
JetV'Davis, R. E. Lee and yourself.’ I
said to him, after thanking him for
placing me in the distinguished com
pany lie did: ‘Mr. President, those
who are forgiven most love the most.’
With that 1 went back to my home in
Georgia. A year after a petition for
me went up, and General Grant and
.General Pope went in my^ behalf in
/person to 8-*e it through, anil they did.
I felt that I had not loved the U nion
before as did then, and again 1 said :
‘Those who are forgiven most love the
most.’ [Cheers.] 1 felt the influences
of that tender cord which had been
touched—by the people of the North—

hesitated and faltered. Turning his
back on the audience again lie faced the
ladies in the judge’s stand, and look
ing at them a few seconds, began in a
very low tone. “How cau I, a poor
soldier, reared in and accustomed to

was becoming painful, and the audi

called upon several oyster dealers in
the city to see if the malady had struck
the oysters in our own waters, and was
informed that no such report had come
under their observation concerning the
bivalves in the beds on the Georgia and
Carolina coast. There are dealers who
believe that no reports concerning dis
ease can be true, but since, so far as it
is known, all life, whether plant or ani
mal, is liable to be attacked by some
malady, it is hard to see why an excep
tion should be made in favor of the
oyster. Remarked one of the largest
dealers in the trade, recently: “While !
the oysters in New York and Maryland j
are reported soft and flabby this season,
ouro\sters are better than they have
been for years, for tiie reason that dur- j
ing the past two years more attention i
has been paid culture and i

Byrd. Byrd had a sword-cane with
which lie struck Jones. The lick

iration from the sword, which Byrd
held firmly in his hand, and before
Jones could recover from the blow
he ran him through. Jones had two
derringers, each of which he dis
charged at Byrd without effect. He
then seized Bvrd, and in the struggle
fell dead. Byrd was of course are

He was not tried at the next term of

some larger than his son's, hut the
general outlines were substautially
the same. He was demonstrative
and talkative, and plainly a man of
higii spirit and chivalry. His ap
parel was in keeping with his figure
and bearing, and his whole appear
ance was one of neatness and refine
ment. The mother had black hair
streaked with gray, and her eyes
corresponded with "the darkness or
her hair. She was so much under
size as to be termed diminutive, and
as quiet and undeitionstra'ire as her
husband was the contrary. This
was not the first sorrow, by several,
this unfortunate old conple had en
dured, and considering that and the
present, their bearing was so dignf-
fied and lofty as to entitle them to
the respect and sympathy of every
one.
There were no .incidents during
the trial important enough to relate,
saving the speech by Judge. Warren
in conclusion for the prosecution.
He had been cognizant of the case
from its inception and was imbued
with the feelings of the man, as well
as the zeal of the advocate. Besides
his legal obligations, he relt in his
morai and religions duty to have
Byrd convicted. He had been it So

Tiiis in all conscience would seem
horrors enough to be embraced in*
one narrative*, hut, ‘scarce ihe half
iias bviiMt told.” It is now in order lo
explain the .mystory of I>r. Byrd's
location at Albany. The mvsterv
grew out of another dark tragedy
in which he xyas one of the actors,
and the sole survi/or. When very
young he had followed the footsteps
of an older brother in making Louis
iana his home, lie located at B iton
Rouge. There he became involved
in a personal difficulty. His antagon
ist sought liis life. Byrd retreated
before him to the back room of his
office, and there took his life with a
dissecting knife. While lie was le
gally justified, yet the complications
were such, as to make it proper for
him to seek another home, and in
this way be became somewhat of a
wanderer. The older brother who
proceeded him to the west was
named Orran C. Byrd. In figure,
features, bearing and disposition (he
"brothers were alike. Before the
Baton Rouge trigedy, Orran died.
After more than one rencontre, in
which there were serious wounds for
both, and perhai s death for one, he
was killed in a duel at the lake by a
lawyer named Campbell. Between
the tragedy at Baton Rouge and
the one a 1 Albati , the third
brother Theodore was shot dead
one Sabbath afternoon in the bar
room of the Veranda Hotelat New Or
leans. There was now left to their
parents, but one son. His name
was William and he was the young
est He became a Confederate sol
dier, anil whs killed at one of the
battles in Virginia iu the early p^irt
of the war between the States. With
him went all of the sons—and each
had died a death of violence. It. was
a sad fate for them, and a sadder
for their bereaved parents. The
latter were both natives of Charles
ton, South Carolina. The father,
Col. John J. Byrd, wa* long a wor
thy citizon of Angusto, Georgia. He
was a bank officer. Having a taste
for the military and the gift of com
mand, he was the colonel of the regi
ment. It is said his children were
reared in the extreme school ol chiv
alry—that every insult must have its
punishment, and life* was a small
matter, compared with the dishonor
of submitting to one. The old geu-
tieman had the bearing of a knight
of ‘the middle ages who luxuriated
in the consciousness, that he was
“without . fear, and without re
proach.’*
However good the sentiment, it has
ruined many a boy for not knowing
how to control ii iu practical life.
The old gentleman and his wife have
many years since passed from this
earthly existence, and I hope arc
where the weary are at rest—for af
ter such a life of toil and trouble,
certainly according to the dictates
of our finite tninds, they deserve
rest. Looking back through a view
of more than thirty years, I can see
them vividly, bearing their misfor
tunes with a courage and fortitude,
that would exact sympathy and ad
miration front the most unfeeling
and unappreciative in Christian civi
lization.

A lady friend has given us the fol

have an answer from some of our pub
lic school mathemjiticians:
A vessel at sea had the misfortune to
lose its captain by death. He being the
owner the vessel, was accompanied on
his voyages by his wife, and after his
death tiie control of the vessel devol
ved upon her. Added to the misfor
tune ot the bark, a heavy gale carried
away the masts, and after drifting at
the inercy of the currents for a long
while provisions ran short and. starva
tion seemed inevitable to the crew,
which consisted of thirty men, fifteen
white and fifteen colored; and it was
proposed by the captain’s wife that half
the number be thrown overboard, as
the only means of saving the lives of
any portion of the unfortunate men.
Her proposition was to arrange all in a
circle, and every time she counted nine
the man to whose lot the ninth number
fell was, Jonah like to be cast into
the sea. This was agreed to, and
the men were so arranged by her that
the fatal number always fell to a negro,
who of course fell oat of line ns soon as
he had been counted. The puzzle is how
she arranged them.

Fulton, ten million. Bibb, five mil-

—Prohibition and the no fence
law, in Georgia are thus discussed
by “The Man About Town’’ in the
Atlanta Constitution: -
Prohibition has made its way stead
ily and rapidly. Ten years ago it
had no hold whatever. The sale of
liquor is now prohibited in the whole
or part of 71 comities, leaving less
than half the counties in the Slate in
which its sales is unrestricted. The
legislature just dissolved has made
nine of these counties non-liquor
counties by enactment, and provided
tor elections in thirty odd more. It
also passed a bill making it a crime
to 6eil liquor to a confirmed drnnkaid
or a drunken person, after notice not
to sell has been served by one of his
relatives.
Under local option prohibition
has showed unusual strength. It ba>
been beaten notably in only two
counties. Washington and Decatur,
ts we remember. Its friends contend
that five more years will see the six
larger cities of Georgia the sole
strongholds of liquor, environed
closely with prohibition suburbs.
An election has been ordered 'Tor
Floyd county, and it will be inter
esting to see how Rome voles.
As for fences, they have been
driven out, not perhaps so rapidly
hut just as surely. The election*
began only a few years ago, and
now eighteen counties have abol
ished fences. Within the past week
Oglethrope and Walton, two very
important counties, have been added
to the list, and the no-fence sentiment
is growing. The fences, having been
once abolished, can never be replac
ed, so the anti-fence agitation never
losses a step that it makes.
Mr. Flyut, of Monroe, a strong
and useful man, said: “My people
voted the no-fence law down by a
majority of 6 to 1. I bad the leg
islature pat the law on tbe county
anyhow. Now. fully nine men out
of ten in the county favor it. It has
effected a perfect revolution.”
“Has it beautified tbe cjuntry
much ?*
“Not as yet, for the old fences are
still standing. They will be allowed
to rot away. As the rails rot or are
used for fuel, the fences are con
tracted and smaller pastures enclos
ed. In a few years they will all be
gone, except where stock are fenced
in the pastures. Then everything
will look much better and smooth
er.’*
“My county,” Raid Mr. Peek, of
Uockdale “would not take $100,000
tor the stock law. Yon couldn’t
•get her to vote fences back with that
much money. Like Monroe county,
it has neither fences nor whisky,
and it don’t want any more of either.
It has the the finest cattle and the
soborest tnen, the best pastures and
ihe happiest wives of any county
Georgia.”
“When men have to keep their
stock io enclosures,” said Mr. Flynt,
“they will improve the quality ol
their stock. They can’t afford to* pen
worthless cattle. And they will save
the dropping! of the stock which will

heap. In every way the new law

Governor McDaniel Takes a Hand
In Unmaklsur Laws—Tbe Vetoed
Acts.
Yesterday Governor McDaniel clos
ed up the investigation of bills pend
ing before him for approval. The law
does not require that he assign a rea
sons for his votoe® after adjcnrnirppr.
but he nevertheless attached to each
bill the reasons that actuated hior in
his course. The list was as folic ws:
An act to prevent foreign insurance
companies from removing suits to tbe
federal courts, to prescribe penalties
thereof and for other purposes.
The Governor said:
“The requirements of existing laws
in pursauance of the constitution are*
sufficient protection to the people
agaihst foreign insurance companies.
As this bill proposes other conditions
which are not necessary to tne safety
of the policy holders but may be con
sidered harsh toward the companies, I
surely dec,ine lo approve it ”
- A bill to prohibit railroad commis
sioners or their clerks from receiving
fees ic certic cases and to provide a
penalty therefor.
“I decline to approve this bill be
cause it pi escribes a punishment for
the violation of any one of its provis
ions, which is unwarranted in the
constitution—removal from office and
disqualification to hold any office of
honor oi trust in case of con vie ion in
the Superior c*»urt The constitution
provides impeachment for this purpose
except in cases specially threin men
tioned.
An act to amend an act entitled an
act to repeal section 1711 of the code
of 1873 and to imert another section,
etc.
“The constitutional provision for
two concurrent verdicts of juries at
different terms of the court instead of
such verdicts of two juries during the
same term, as formerly practiced,
clearly indicates that this bill, which
shirtens the time for obtaining di
vorces, is against public policy
Therefore, I decline to approve it.’’
An act to define the jurisdiction of
the county courts of the State, to pre
scribe the fees of judges and bailiff*
tor said courts in certain, cases and
for other pm poses.
“I decline to approve this bill be
cause section 3 pi ovides certain fees
(or the bailiffs of county courts and
contains further provisions a* follows:
‘And in other cases where fees shall
be allowed or are taken by said judge
or bailiff.’
“It is. to say the least, doubtful
whether any cost of fees prescribed in
the code of 1882 for such bailiffs can
be charged by them or by the sheriff
acting for them. In a matter of such
importance to parties having cases in
county courts it is manifestly nuwise
to cause the confusion which would
tie caused under the operation of this
bill if it should become a law.”
An act to submit to the qualified
voters of the city of A-theus the.ques
tion .of establishing public schools.’’
•*I withhold approval from this bill,
because section 5 authorizes the mayor
and council of Athens to issue bonds
without submitting the question of in
curring such indebtedness to the quali
fied voters of the city and without
providing for the assessment and col
lection of an annual tax sufficient to
pay f -he principal and interest within
thirty years, as required by article 7.
section 7, paragraphs 1 and 2 of the
constitution.”
An act to amend section 1235 (d) of
the code so far as relates to the man
ner of receiving pupila into the deal
and dumb’asylum.
“I cannot approve this bill, because
of an error not di-covered in its pas
sage in omitting tbe words ‘in a con
dition mentally and physically,’ in
describing persons entitled to be re
ceived in the asylum for instruction.
This destroys the purpose of the bill.”
A bill to change the law in relation
lo legal advertising.
“I decline to approve this bill, be
cause the'existing law in that particu
lar is sufficiently definite, and the ef
fect of the proposed amendment is at
least of a doubtful propriety.”

A CHINESE BURIAL.
Throwing In an Old Black Bottle
With “Something’’ tor the Corpse.
Philadelphia, October 1.—Hog
Cheek, the Chinaman who died in the
almshouse on Wednesday last, was
buried Saturday with interesting cere
monies. The body was incased in a
handsome wain at casket, with a plate
on the lid hearing the date of the birth
and death of the dead celestiaL The
fxjltom of the casket was filled with
Chinese coins, and the body was cov
ered with a peculiar Chinese perforat
ed paper, with lettering on it. At the
grave Rev. Mr. Lyle repeated the
Lord’s prayer in Chinese and English,
afltar which a number of ribbons, which
were bound about the body were re
moved, and thrown upon the coffin.
The casket was then lowered, and
while the gravel was being shoveled
upon it, the Celestials cast meats, rice,
tea, baked dough, roasted chicken and
a black bottle among the dirt. On the
way to the grave the Chinaman seated
besides the driver threw rice and pa
per along.the ground traversed. Ten
thousand people witnessed the cere
mony at the grave. It was intended
to have some service in the Church of
the Epiphany (Episcopal), but the
crowd was so great that it was impos
sible to get into the church. Mayor
King refused to allow the New York
Chinese band to go in tho procession,
ind the police stopped the fire cere
monies in front of the house from
which doceased was taken to the grave.

The best natured woman in the Unit
ed States lives in Austin. She has been
married a number of years to a man
named Ferguson, but she and her hus
band have never had a quarrel yet, and
ho has frequently boasted that it is ut
terly impossible to make her angry.
Fegerson made several desperate at
tempts to see if he could uot exasperate
her to look cross or scowl at him, mere
ly to gratify his curiosity, but the more
outragous he acted the more affable and
loving she behaved. Last week he was
talking to a friend about what a hard
time he had trying to find out if his wife
had a temper. The friend offered to
bet $50 that if Ferguson were to go
home drunk, raise a row,and pull the ta
ble-cloth full of dishes off tiie table, she
would show' some signs of annoyance.
Ferguson said she didu’t want to rob a
friend of his money, for he knew he
would win; but they at last made the
bet of $50, the friend to hide in front
yard and watch tne proceedings of the
convention through the window. ^

to liis feet although she had nothing to

He then sat down on the 6ofa, and
sliding off on the floor, abused her like
a pick-pocket for lifting up the other
end of the sofa, all of which she took
good-naturedly, and finally she led him
to the supper-table. He threw a plate
at her, but she did as if she had not no
ticed it, and asked him if he would take
tea or coffee. Then the brute seized
the table-cloth and sat down on the
floor, pulling the dishes and everything
else over with him in one grand crash.
What did this noble woman do? Do
you suppose she grumbled and talked
about going home to iier tua. or that
she sat down and cried like a fool, or
