Gwinnett Atlas. I.AW'IiKN <JK VILLE, LA., Wednesday Morning, August 9, IB7L 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. Finns Bakhkcik at Buvord. — We are authorized to say that there will be a free barbecue given at Buford, on the Richmond and At lanta Air-Line Railroad, on Thurs day, the 10th instant, by the mer chants of that place. Special trains will lie run from Atlanta and Gainesville, for the accommo dation of persons desiring to at tend. Fare for the round trip only one dollar.

It is the most corrupt, the most stolid, the most stupid, the most hopelessly joined to its idols the na tion ever saw. The people demand a change, and they will have it. Counterfeit S2O bills ou the United States National Bank at Washington have made their ap pearance, and parties holding should look out for them. R. *T Jg (V '' "Av GKUKGIA NGVVS. Some gentlemen in Lbirke county were out hunting a horse thief, Sam uel Holmes. They dismounted in •rder to pursue him, when he stole the finest horse in the party. Bui lock should officer him at once. A negro stole some corn in Au gusta. A jury of seven frcediuen selected by the culprit decided he should have a whipping of 30 lashes. Jim Toombs, negro, was hanged at Ferry, Houston county, on Friday week last, for killing another negro who was working with him in a field, about seven months ago. When on the gallows ho gave the negroes present some good advice. ITo told them to throw away their firearms, be industrious and obey the laws. He said that having no master and a pistol, had brought him to the gal lows. Se-eral of the Macon fire compa nies have determined to carry the opinion of Judge Loehrane, in regard to firemen serving on juries, up to the United States’ Supreme Court, for its opinion, and should Judge Lochrane’s views be sustained, then they will consider the matter of dis banding. The Savannah Republican lias been shown a policeman’s club, re cently patented and adopted by the Philadelphia police. The club com bines a whistle, rattle and club, is no larger and a great deal more handy than the old club. The body of the club is made of circular pioces of sole leather pressed together and held ly a steel rod. The rattle is in the head of the club and is sprung by a crank, the handle of which is the whistle; all of which does not occupy more space than the common club. The Constitutionalist, of Sunday, understands that Reese, the murderer from Taliaferro county, who is in jail at Augusta and sentenced to be hung on the 4lh of August, has been respited by Bullock until October. The Washington (Wilkes county) Amendments hare invented a new plan to capture the fib by lucre.

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 crowd of disguised men visited the house of Mr. Robert Holliday, in Jackson county, after night, and at tempted to murder him, as is believed, having fired a great number of shots into his house. Such acts of vio lence are to be deprecated. An oc casional occurrence of this*kind fur 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 icaU, as Mr. Holliday is a staunch Democrat— Southern Watchman. lhe New \ork papers give panic* ulars of the accident to one of the Staten Island ferry boats, by which perhaps, two hundred men, women and children were killed and wound ed. The accident was caused by the explosion of the boiler of the West field. The engineer was unhurt, and claims that the accident was not the result es any carelessness on his part, but probably of a defect in the boiler. Hon. Lyman Trumbull, Radical Senator from Illinois, in a recent speech, said: The whole land is sick of Radicalism. The people want peace and the reduction of taxes. They know the Ku-Klux to be myths, and they are not willing to continue tbe war six years after the cessation of hostilities. We must have peace, aud the Radical party has signally failed to give it to us. \\ ilmer McLean, a real estate dealer at Manassas, Virginia, owned the farm on which the first battle of our civil war was fought, at Bull Run, and also that upon which the last was contested, at Appomatox. From the Augusta Constitutionalist. 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.” Macon Fair. —There was much coinplaiut last year of the de ficient and defective accommoda tions for the public at the Macon Fair. This is to be remedied this year. The Telegraph says the work on the grounds is going on rapidly. The stalls for live stock are already completed. The race track is also finished and is tbe finest, so says the Telegraph, in the United States. Tbe entrance gate is a beautiful and and imposing structure The terra cing on the river bank is nearly fin ished. This is to be the most novel and beautiful feature of the Fair Grounds. Alluding to it the Tele graph says: During the boatracing, the briiliaut and animated scene that the river bank will present, lined as it will be by thousands of the beauty and chivalry of the State, will be worth a pilgrimage to Mecca to be hold.

For sale by Dr. Mitchell. aug 2-4 t 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. Ilis Majesty the Emperor of the French and the Empress. His Majesty, the Emperor of Brazil and the Empress. The Imperial Prince and Princess of Germany. The Prince and Princess of Wales. Prince Albert, Duke of Edinburgh. Prince Arthur. Prince Leopold. The Princess Louise.— Car. New York World. 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 claims the distinguished honor of be ing the birthplace of the new Balti more sensation, Mrs. Wharton, con cerning whom the excuse of insanity is already being interposed. It seems that while in latter days she has been in the habit of disposing of people 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, of the intention and suddenly disap peared, to re-appear ns tbe wife of | Lieutenant Harry W. Wharton, United State Army, whose mjsto rious death occurred some time since, followed by the deaths of others, In cluding General Ketchum, whose case is now the subject of inveetiga • tion in Baltimore, In view of her | early 44 eccentricities,” we suppose there will be no trouble in putting ; in a plea of insanity in this case, [especially as the poor crazed divinity | has ->e most influential and fashion able circle- in Baltimore to hacklier.
