Mob Law.
Witlioiit stopping to ciilicise
the accuracy or this expression,
which we hoar so frequently in
these flays,we would call the atten
tion of all reflecting and good
citizens to the prevalence of a
spirit of defiance to the laws of
the land nod disregard of the le
gal tribunals of the country, which
Seems to he on the North, the
South and West. Nearly every
mail brings ns accounts of mobs,
congregating in violation of law,
to d > violence to the person or
property m citizen. Con
trolled by passion and led on by
vindictive and dangerous men,
these mobs often do acts and com
mit crimes, expecting their num
ber to shield them from p 'nisli
ment, which spreads terror through
the country. An excited mob, led
on by some wild enthusiast or vin
dictive partizan, will commit the
grossest excesses —excesses from
which the participants would
shrink with dismay in their cooler
moment, when reason had an
opportunity to be heard..
We have lately seen a mob,
styling itself the “ Commune,”
driving an organized government
from Paris, and in the name of
liberty, exercising the most cruel
tyranny which has disgraced the
nineteenth century; causing her
streets to flow with blood—waging
relentless war upon a gigantic
scale, sending to the dungeon and
guillotine one leader after another;
and at last, when about to be
overpowered by the armed force
o? a government representing law
and order, attempting to bury in
smoking ruins the beautiful capi
tal of France, the pride of the
nation.
Itis not only in the crowded cap
itals of Europe that we And mobs
organizing to overcome the an-
O O
thorities.
In the city of New York, on the
12th of July, a society, known as
“ Orangemen,” who proposed to
have a public celebration, had to
be protected by a strong military
force in addition to the police
force of the city. And the ap
pearance of the military, which is
usually sufficient to deter lawless
men, only seemed to enrage them,
and it was only when the whistling
bullets commenced cutting down
tbe innocent as well as the guilty,
that the attack on the procession
waa suspended.
We do not propose to discuss
the merits of the Controversy be
tween the “ Orangemen " and the
“ Hybernians,” but we deprecate
the spirit which prompted one
party to prevent the other from
exercising the right of “ peaceably
assembling’’ and celebrating an
anniversary, even though it may
have been objectionable to some
of the other party. But this is
not all. The Governor of the State
of New York, who only discharged
an imperative duty devolving on
the Executive of a great State,
in affording protection to its citi
sens, has been denounced, abused
and burnt in effigy. We honor
Governor Hoffman for his dis
charge of duty and Jacksonian
firmness.
In our own State we have re
cently seen an exhibition of this
same spirit.
A man by the name of Oxford
had boen convicted of murder and
sentenced, and afterwards tie was
rescued from the county jail by
unknown men; whether for the
purpose of inflicting summary
punishment and cheating the vie
Gw out of the brief period the
law allow* for preparation lor
eternity, or whether to save the
life of a convicted criminal, we do
not know ; but it matters not
what may have been their object,
this high handed set is sn exam
ple whose pernicious effects will
produce trouble in the future.
We occasionally hear of men
being whipped by disguised bands,
and while wc believe that most of
these stories are exaggerated, still,
a single ocurrcucc alone is evi
dence of a lawless spirit wltieh
every good citizen should try to
suppress There is no necessity
for men taking the law into their
j and tile most humble etui have his
I wrongs redressed.
lint there is an additional rea
son now why our people should
he very careful on this subject.
The party now in power are
using every means which ingenui
ty can invent, to get up Ku-Klux
stories, which their orators can
detail next year to loyal ears —
(ire the loyal heart of the North
and West with hatred for the
| South, and thus secure their votes.
'< IteaiL in another column, the plan
of the campaign as agreed upon
by the Republican leaders in coun
sel at Long Branch.
Every act done by disguised
men will be heralded as a Ku-Klux
outrage, and will be seized upon
with avidity by the Northern press
and used to the prejudice of the
Southern people. He would be
regarded as a very incompetent
general, who, having learned his
enemy’s plan of campaign should
walk into a trap sot for his destruc
tion, and accept battle upon
grounds! selected by his adversary.
TJie Crops.
Last Tuesday week being sale
day, a large number of the citizens
of our county visited our village.
We took special pains to enquire
of reliable men from different sec
tions of the county the condition
of the crops.
The wheat and oat crop has
been almost entirely a failure,—
Mr. H. R. Hannah was the only gen
tleman, with whom we conversed,
who reported anything like a good
crop of wheat. Nine-tenths of J
those we talked to, stated that i
they would not more than get
their seed back; while some did
not cut a single acre, being satis
fied it would not pay for tbe out
ting. This is the most complete
failure iu wheat made for many
years. We will have to look to At
lanta and enterprising mills in our
county, for most of the Hour used,
lu the upper part of the county
corn ami cotton are looking poor
ly. In fact, Rockbridge district is
the only section that is not suffer
ing for rain. Without extraordi
nary seasons, we cannot estimate
the corn crop at more than onc
half of the usual yield.
Cotton is looking tolerably well,
though suffering for rain.
Barbecue at Buford. —We call
attention to a special notice of a
free barbecue on the 10th instant
at Buford. From the character
of the committee of arrangements,
we can vouch that everything will
be gotten up in good style, ami
everybody mado welcome.
For the special information of
some of our townsmen, we will
say, there will be no “ biled eggs ”
on hand.
We return our thanks to the
committeo for a special invitation
to attend, but, being a delegate to
the Agricultural Convention at
Rome, which meets on the Bth, it
will be out ot our power to be
present. We regret very much
that we can’t attend. Col. S. J.
Winn has agreed to represent the
Ati.as, and, although he is perhaps
not as hearty a man as we are, we
hope he will be able to do justice
to the occasion.

The Hon. John G. Carlisle, Dem
ocratic candidate for Lieutenant-Gov
enor of Kentucky, defines his position,
lie thought “ that the amendments
lately adopted changed the, character
of the Constitution, and protested
against them as subversive of liberty
and the rights of the States.” Still,
if the Democratic National Conven
tion shall adopt the Ohio platform,
so called, or something like it in sub
stance, ho would not only vote for
its candidates, but if necessary, would
go before the people, and contribute
all he could to their election. There
was no banner except the banner of
Democracy beneath which a white
man could stand, and he expected to
follow it hereafter as he had done
heretofore. No Democrat, North or
South, endorsed the principle of
these amendments or the means by
which they wero adopted. The ut
most proposed was to acquiesce in
them as accomplished facts, aud
make the great struggle in 1872, on
other issues.
We learn from a gentleman that a

nishes the basis for any amount of
Radicals!anders. If there was any
thing polticial in this affair, the at
tacking party must have been Rad

Democrat— Southern Watchman.

Tlie Long Branch Caucus.
The Macon Telegraph gives to the
public the subject of the late caucus,
with closed doors, at the President’s
'Cottage, Long Biaitc-b, at which
-Northern and Southern Republicans
were present. Among them were
Mullock, of Georgia, and “ a New
Kngland politician from Florida.”
A leaky vessel disclosed the subject
and course of debate. The line of
battle arranged by Morton, Butler
and others bad been so seriously
disarranged by “ the new departure,”
that a new council of war became
necessary. The result is thus given
by the Telegraph :
“One great object of this meeting
of Southern and Northern ‘ represen
tative Republicans ’ was to hear par
ticularly from the former whether the j
Southern whites wece likely to push
opposition to the ‘ new departure ’
to the point of schism, and how
heavy a Ku-Klux indictment could
be made out against the Southern
whiles. The interrelation on either
hand was not very gratifying or as
promising as could be desired ; but
still it Jest a fair chance of success |
open.
“ It was determined, therefore, for :
the present, to rest on the established
order of battle and proceed, might,
and main, to ‘galvanize the Ku-Klux’
(that was the expression), with all
the appliances, energy and activity
at the command of the party. Be
fore the end of the next session of
Congress it could be seen what effect
these operations were likely to pro
duce on the Northern mind. K they
were likely to re awaken and intensi
fy the war spirit and sectional con
tempt, and hatred and distrust—
nothing better could be desired.
The campaign could then go on ac
cording to Morton’s original draft,
and would be a re-appeal to every
feeling of the North which was en
listed and exasperated by the bloody
strife of 18G1-5. The report of the
majority of the Ku Klux Committee
could be backed before the people
with all tho resources of pictoral
art. Pictures of the hanging and
whipping of negroes, of burning
school houses, find defenseless North
ern school inarms fleeing before the
infuriated Ku-Klux, could hardly fail
to stimulate Northern exasperation
almost to madness and overwhelm
the Democratic apologists and syin
pathizers with popular loathing.
“ But, on the other hand, it was
not to be disguised that tbe loyal
witnesses so far before tbe committee
were of such a character as to detract
from the torce of their testimony ;
and there appeared to be a growing
inclination among the Northern vo
ters to quiet sectional animosities—
let by-gones be by-gones, and restore
the era of sectional good-fellowship
and fraternity. If, unfortunately,
this feeling should be likely to.frus
trate the Moi ton pian (5f battle—
nothing then remained but a ‘ new
departure ’ more sinking than any
conceived by the Doinocrals.
“ The demand- for a restoration
of fraternal feelings must be met by
the Radicals with a programme of
the broadest and most liberal charac
ter. They must proclaim at once
universal amnesty and the restoration
of confidence and love. They must
throw away the Ku-Klux enginery
and buy up aud conciliate n strong
white following in the South. There
would be ample time for the National
Republican Convention to proclaim
this grand revolution in the public
policy, and for the administration
to follow suit with honeyed words
and gilded palms to the despised and
down trodden whites of the Southern
States. Thus, without losing the
negro following, they would supple
ment it powerfully in the South, and
at the same time they could appeal
to the North and say, * Having re
stored Southern peace and order on
the basis of universal equality, we
are now about to secure Southern
love and .gratitude. We have used
the rod successfully. Wo now ten
der the olive branch.’
“ These, in brief, were the two
grand alteinatives ptoposed and adop
ted by the Presidential conclave at
Long Branch, a* we have good reason
to believe.”

Crowned Heads in London.—
There is a good old story of a sailor
on board one of her Majesty’s
frigates, which was lying at anchor
near one of the South Sea Islands,
and which had been horded by a
number of the petty kings and chiefs
of the savages. One of these poten
tates, wandering abont the ship,
mistook a wind sail, puffed out with
the wind, for a mast, and leaned
with his back against it, the conse
quence being that he fell through
the hatchway and disappeared. The
sailor saw tho catastrophe, and, walk
ing up to the officer of the deck, he
touched his cap and said, “ I axes
your pardon, sir, but one of them
kings has tumbled down the main
hatch.” Sovereigns were not so
plenty on board that ship, however,
as they are in London to day ; and
wherever you go you see or hear of
“one of them kings.” Today, for
instance, there are in London,
through one causo cr another, the
following crowd of emperors, em
presses, queens, princes and poten
tates :
Her Majesty, Queen Victoria.

Remarkable Dream Verified—
A Husbands Vengeance.— The Rich
mond Whig contains an account of a
brutal murder committed across tbe
border in Wilkes county, North
Carolina, a few days since, and the
circumstances of which are not a
little remarkable. The account is
as follows : ‘'lt appears that a gen
tleman residing in that county, a few
days previous to the murder sold to
a neighbor a tract of land, for which
lie received SI,OOO in cash. Busi
ness calling him away from home
soon- after, ho left the money with
his wife, and on returning he stopped
over night with a friend living some
ten or twelvo miles d : stant from his
homo. In the night he dreamed
that some men had entered his house,
murdered his wife and two children,
stolen his money and destroyed his
property. Knowing that hc*had loft
the rnuue) with his wife* ho became
uneasy and restless after his dream,
and requested a peddler who was
stopping at the house with him to
accompany him at once to his home,
for he feared there was a reality in
the dream. On arriving at his home,
to his horror, he found his wife mur
dered, and two men sitting at a table
counting out the money he had left
with his wife. He and the peddler
being armed immediately fired upon
tbe men and killed them, who turned
out to be the man to whom he had
sold the land, and from whom he
had received tbe SI,OOO, and his son.
This is ole of the most atrocious
murders on record, and bliows what
foul deeds money will lead men to
commit.
Mrs. Wharton. Philadelphia

is already being interposed. It seems
that while in latter days she has been

in “ ways that are mysterious,” in
tbe earlier period of her life, being
the petted daughter of a rich Phili
delphia importer, she was very gay
and frolicsome, having, on one occa
sion, issued invitations to a large
number of fashionable friends and
acquaintances to attend her nuptials
with a gentleman who was utterly
ignorant of any engagement he had
ever made with the bewitching beau
ty. This was regarded at the time
as evidence of insanity, and her
father determined to put her in a
mad house. She got wind, however,

peared, to re-appear ns tbe wife of
