Tfce ■«*»• TwMll 7 l ;, A t e *p^ Attempt
to intimidate tbe Fre»«*
morning, as the Managing Editor
^ on his way from bin residence
? ^ace^f bnsiness, he was assaulted by
fouat &er (son oi tbe unfortunate Treasu-
^ under the following circumstances:
€ *lhe Editor, not aware that Angier (or any
one else) felt personally aggrieved at anything
rest had been published in the Era ; not even
^ifnre that hlB personal relations with tbe
Angers were of an UDtriendly or belligerent
nature and, consequently, not anticipating a
neraonal attack, was whoUy unarmed, having
nothin w in bis hands or about his person except
. lar<re“ umbrella, which be was carrying over
nim at the time, and in such a position to pre
lude a full view of the sidewalk, except itnme-
iiatelv around or in lront of him. Thus peace
ably walking the streets, with his mind upon
his professional duties for the day, wholly un
conscious that an assassin was laying in wait to
aMault him, the Editor was aroused from his
abstraction by a sudden blow with a walking
cane aimed at his head, but striking the front
ribs of the umbrella, and thence upon the
hickory staff of the same, with great force,
breaking the cane in two. One piece of tbe
cane as it flew asunder across the umbrella
handle, slightly bruised the skin on the Editor’s
left cheek, but otherwise no damage was done.
The Editor then tolded his umbrella and made
at ADgier’s throat with his hands, (he beiDg
wholly unarmed, even with so much as a pock
et-knife,) when Angier again attempted to strike,
but the blow was warded off this time by the
Editor’s left arm. All this transpired in au in
tent and no one seemed to be present until af
ter the parties began to clinch for a struggle,
when third parties interposed, and separated the
antagonists. ...
Thus ended tbe affair; but the narrative
would be incomplete were it not here stated that,
during this whole transaction, there was not (up
to this time) a word spoken by either party nor
by any one present; that Angier appeared to be
well armed ; and that after an unsuccessful ef
fort on the part of the Editor to arm himself, iu
.Redwine & Fox’s Drug Store, (in front of which
the assault was made,) he walked very leisurely
to his office; that as he passed tbe crowd where
Angier stood, the latter remarked, either to or of
him: “ P^it anything more in that d—d paper
about my lather, and I’ll blow your (or his) d—d
brains out”
We clip the foregoing extract from au ar
ticle which appeared in the New Era of yester
day morning, and have only to rematk in reler-
ence to the rencontre referred to therein, that the
streets ol the city should be the last place select
ed to settle, by personal violence, real or imagi
nary grievances, it being as well a violation oi
the law, as it might prove perilous to peaceful
citizens, passers by, during such occurrences.
We enter our protest against any and all such
violations ol law and order in our midst.
A Word In Season.
The Memphis Appeal regards the platform ol
the Union reform party of South Carolina, as
“ mean and craven.” To which the Nashville
Banner very properly replies: “ Then the com
mon tense which enables a people to look the
inevitable in the face and to triumph over pro
•criptive Radicalism by a live,liberal, progressive
policy, letting tbe dead past take care ol itself,
is to be ’mean and craven.’ It is easy to call
names, but the idea of self-preservation cannot
be driven into the thick skull of a Boui bon with
a steel wedge and a hundred pound maul.
Every other policy than tne AppeaVs is “ mean
and craven,” and yet the Appeal's policy has
accomplished nothing for itself, its party or the
country lor ten years past, and will not for ten
years to come.”
The Commencement Exercises of the
Southern Female College, at LaQrauge, be

Information Wauled.
We would be pleased to receive from our
friends In tbe country reports concerning the
prospectB of the growing crops. The impor
tance of a thorough knowledge of tbe actual
prospect of our agricultural interests can not be
too highly estimated, and is so apparent that we
will gladly receive any authentic reports ot the
condition of the crops for publication.
The July Balance Sheet.
The New York Times monetary article says

June 30, it will be found that the Treasury has
received $125,000,000 in custom duties, and (be
country has consumed about $28,000,000 or
$30,000,000 more of foreign gooda than last
year, and have Imported at least $100,000,000
more of domestic produce, gold value, settling
our foreign balances.
The aggregate incomes in this city and the
suburbs, notwithstanding the diminished profits
of A. T. btewart and the dry gooda importing
interest, ol which he is considered a representa
tive, are fully equal to last year, and the savings
of the industrial classes and deposits in New
York and Brooklyn twenty millions greater.
The exports last week, except specie, were
$4,488,940, including 61,399 barrels ot flour,

Souiliern Youth.
The elders of the South may fail in their
high mission, and feel disposed to fall by the
wayside, weaiy with the struggle lor Constitu
tional Liberty; but the young men, nay, even
tbe boys, among us, are made ot better stuff,
and will some day, on the arena ot reason, raise
the standard of principle unshrinkingly, and
bear it on to victory. Our daily experience
warrants us iu this belief, and cow and then,
an illustration ot its truth is heroically devel
oped. The most remarkable instance that has
recently come to our knowledge is thus detailed
by the Richmond Dispatch :
“ A boy named Baldwin Alexander, about
seventeen years of age, residing m Pulaski
county, Virginia, having been appointed a cadet
at the Naval Academy by Representative Gib
son, ot Virginia, underwent thorough examina
tion, and passed. He made a favorable im
pression upon the Board of Examiners and file
Secretary of the Navy, and bis appointment
was confirmed; but when asked to take
the test oath, he declined, asserting that
although he was a mere child at the com
mencement of the war, and but twelve years
of age at its close, his associates, surround
ings, etc., had created a sympathy in his
mind and heart for those around him; and
to swear that he had not sympathized with or
countenanced the ‘ rebellion,’ wou d be base
perjury, and he could uot do so. He could take
all the remainder of the oath but those two
terms. His honesty and candor elicited encom
turns from the naval authorities, and Meuator
Johnson took the matter in hand and tried to
have the youth admitted upon taking the proper
constitutional oath. The law on the subject is
imperative, and the Secretary ol the Navy to
day informed Senator Johnson that Alexander
could not be admitted to the Academy as a ca
det unless he subscribed to the iron-clad oath.
Senator Johnson w ill ask special Congressional
legislation in his case, and Representative Platt
also stated that he would ask tne lemoval ol
Alexander’s disabilities by the House, and that
he be allowed to enter the academy without
taking the iron clad oath.”
The noble conduct ot the stripling ought to
make the cheeks ol many ot his seniors, every
where in the South, burn with shame. Such a
boy as tbit would have had his tongue torn out
by the roots rather than endorse an iniquitous
usurpation ol power as a “ verity ” or an “ ac
complished fact,” Tuere is another lliiDg to be
observed in this connection, viz: his rigid adhe
rence to principle extorted the admiration of
the Radicals. It even our enemies make obei
sance to such splendid virtue, what must they
think ot grown men who countenance despo
tism because they are robbed of a few dollars
and have lost breath and hope after only five
years of struggle ?—Augusta Constitutionalist.
Tbe Kl«I*CIoved Aristocracy.
These are about to pass into history, says an
exchange. The kid glove is about to cease
from its mission as tbe emblem of aristocracy
ou account of delection in prices. Very excel
lent kids are sold in Paris at thirty cents a pair,
and in New York they are marked as low as
fifty cents. The market is absolutely over
stocked, anil even the present prices cannot, it
is believed, long be maintained in the trade.
A Duel.
A duel was fought, says a Memphis dispatch
dated the 28th instant, that afternoon on the

tween Geo. R. Phelan and James Brizzalara,

navy repeaters, at fifteen paces, resulting in
Brizz&lar&’s being shot in the left breast aud

Judge Pope! XI. S. District Attorney!
The telegraph yesterday morning announces
the nomination of ex-Judge John D. Pope as
the U. S. Qjstiict Attorney !
Judge Pope, so far as the public are informed,
has never been a Republican, although he gave
his support to the . relief leatures oi the new
State Constitution. When the State Govern
ment was set up in 1868, it was pretty well un
derstood that the Senate would not be likely to
confirm a radical, and Pope was appointed by
Governor Bullock.
It is said he gave satisfaction to the democra
cy by his course on the bench. He resigned,
however, on the 3d January last, and the vacan
cy has not yet been filled.
Under appointees like Judge Pope our peo
ple need have no tears oi an undue pressing for
the enforcement of the radical measures enact
ed by Congress to humiliate us, such as the act
to entorce the XLVth and XVth Amendments.
We regret that allot Grant’s appointees are not
equally conservative.

Akerinan's Appointment.
The views which we expressed upon the re
ception of the telegraphic item from Washing
ton, announcing the appointment of Mr. Aker-
man as Attorney General, by President Grant,
seem to be entertained now in many directions
and by mauy influential presses of both political
parties. The Nashville Onion & American of
the 1st instant, says: “ Recent intelligence from
Washington giyes more significance to the ap
pointment of the unknown Mr. Aberman to a
position in the cabinet than was at first sur
mised. As Mr. Akerman was an ex-Confeder-
ate, and had never given anything to the Presi
dent, the political quid nuncs at the capitol
were at a loss to assign a reason lor this strange
freak of Executive power. It is now suggested
that General Grant, under the advice of some
ol the shrewdest oi the Republican leaders
at the North, in connection with some of the
wariest politicians in the South, has determined
to attempt to re-organize the Republican party
iu such a manner as to draw into it a large por
tion of the intelligent and influential native
population iu the South.”
Georgia, we believe, notwithstanding the large
majority she gave against Giant at the last
Presidential election, is not given up as lost to
the Republican patty. The appointment of
Akerman, we have uo doubt, was intended to
strengthen the Republican party in it, and thai
etiorts of a most vigorous character to bring'
about that result will be made, we have not a
doubt.

Tiie Democratic Manifesto Criticised by
tbe New York Herald.
“ Now,” says the Herald, ir. its characteristic
vein of criticism, “ this begins to look like
Democratic progress. “ No time to be lost in
the discussion of dead issues ” means that it is
useless to fight any longer for the restoration of
“ the Constitution as it was,” under which “ the
blasted nigger” had “ no rights which a white
man was bound to respect.” Next, in this
Congressional pronunciamentn, the order to the
Democracy to abandon all “ proscriptive feel
ing ” means that “ the blasted nigger ”
is to be cultivated and conciliated, which
is a good idea. In fact, from their careful plan
of operations embodied in this manifesto, it is
clear that the Democrats intend to make an
earnest fight in every Congressional district for
the next House of Representatives, and that
their present leaders in Congress are at last con
vinced that the dead issues of old time-honored
Democratic clap-trap anl the proscription o
the nigger are •• piai ed out.’ 1 \\ a say this looks
like progress, and we have no doubt that the
Democrats will make good headway by follow
ing this good advice 1; >- ren at bable fact,

We mast all wait to see what the future will
bring forth. What we most apprehmd is that
Democratic leaders North as well as South, will
not profit by the stern lessons ot the past. We
have some in Georgia, we trust, who will not
tail to profit by them.

Paris, July 1.—The Corps Legislate yester
day was much agitated by the discussion ot the
military contingent. The government asks tor
ninety thousand instead of oue hundred thou
sand men, the usual number. Jules Farite made
a spirited and eloquent speech against the con
tinuance of a large standing army.
Thiers thought the state ol Europe was me
nacing, and that France should be prepared.
Farire quoted in reply, from the Yellow Book,
official assurance ol peace and tranquillity, and
wanted to know why such military establish
ment was kept up unless hidden plans and
schemes in favor of dynasty were entertained.
He answered the charge made against the
Government and its policy. He had no fear for
the future, for France had gained her sadavia ia
the Plebiscitum. Much dissatisfaction was here
expressed by the deputies, and the Minister was
obliged to explain that he had no intention ot
exulting over the subjects ot the empire. These
words increased the agitation in the chamber.
M Ollivier continued: “ The Government felt
no uneasiness, otherwise it would not have re
duced the contingent of ten thousand men.”
Washington, July 2.—Revenue $1,167,018.

STATE ITEMS,
Under the heading,- “ Tiresome People,” the
Macon Telegraph & Messenger says :
The principal State functionaries in Atlanta
have been hard at work tor a year or more to
convict one another of an excess ot venality,
corruption aud wickedness; and the people
bel.tve every woid ot tbe testimony; but it is
getting long and tiresome. Treasurer Angier is
out in four columns in the Constitution, showing
up Gov. Bullock, in this document Angier
shows how an officer became entitled to more
than his s lary and can innocently grease his
tiugeis a l.ute as follows:
We omit the extract.
Jail Delivery.—We had a eerteral jail de
livery ou last Monday night. All ol the pris
oners escaped except oue who is indicted lor
murder. Thev were assisted by persons from
the outside.—LaOrange Reporter.
TnE Wheat Crop.—The wheat crop in this
country has turned out better than was antici
Dated. Mr. Geo. S. Bailey, living eight miles
from LaGrange, guessed that his crop would
turn out from 80 to 100 bushels, and could
hardly believe his own eyes when he saw
Messrs McGee & Jones, proprietors of a Russell
Thresh, measure up 226 bushels. Rev. D. W.
Howell made 664 bushels per acre. No fertili
zer used but cotton seed.—LaGrange Reporter.
The True Georgian.—We have accidental
ly seen a copy of the new Radical paper just
started in Atlanta by Ex-Governor Bard, of
Idaho. It almost is a fac simile ot the Era, under
his control, in appearance, but lacks much ot
the taste and vigor imparted to the Era by Wat
son. The True Georgian will perform tie some
what novel and difficult role ot supporting
Grant and opposing Bullock. It has no tele
graphic news, and is, so far, a very feeble oppo
nent of the slashing, vigorous, and wicked
Era,.—Athens Banner.
Bard's Position.—The editor ot this journal
is a true Grant Republican. The columns of
the paper are strictly dedicated, however, to the
welfare of Georgia. In a word, we shall do our
utmost fo c mibine the good elements of all
parties against the violent factions of the State,
by whatever political name they may be known.
The effort being put forth by the Bullock fac
tion to prove us a Democratic sympathizer, is
designed to destroy whatever influence we may
have at the “Federal Capital,” iu behalf of this
commonwealth Our record as a moderate Re
publican is loo well known in Georgia to need
explanation.— True (?) Georgian.
How inconsistent this man is. He says he is
a true Grant Republican, and almost in the
same breath declares his paper is dedicated to
the welfare oi Georgia. In other words, he sus
tains Grant and his administration, whilst he
wotks for the true interest of Georgia. This
declaration of allegiance to the man who has,
during his administration, insulted and wronged
our people, is totally adverse to a dedication of
his paper to the welfare of our State. Water
aud oil won’t mix. R ght and wrong will ever
remain seperate. To ba a true Grant Republi
can then, is not a dedication to the welfare ot
thi3 Commonwealth. May the people see
through the flimsey veil.—North Georgia Citi
zen.
An Infant Found in a Fish’s Belly.—At
Ringgold we were told the following story : Mr.
Helan, proprietor of the hotel at that place,
bought a large catfish caught near Chattanooga
in the Tennessee river. On opening the fish an
infant was found. We did not learn whether it
was white or black. We can easily accoum ior
the infant being in the fish’s belly; but who put
it in the river we leave for the invesligation of
the people of Chattanooga. One thing is cer
tain, some fiend in humaa shape has committed
infanticide.—North Georgia Citizen.
Religious Revival.—This glorious work,
which was commenced over three weeks ago, at
the Methodist Church, still continues with una
bated imprest, and souls are being converted to
God. Night after night mourners are at the
altar of prayer, imploring that the great stone
of sin may be removed from the door of their
every heart, that Jesus may come in aud fill
their hearts with peace and joy, where there
now reigns strife and mourning. The holy
influence of this revival is widening throughout
the community.—Marietta Journal.
Important Revenue Decision.—The Com
missioner of Internal Revenue, in response to a
letter lrom the Deputy Sheriff ot Gwinnett
county, states that there is no penalty against
State courts for giving judgments in favor ol
unstamped instruments, hut such cases can be
appealed to the United States Courts. He also
calls upon officers to report persons who issue
unstamped instruments, intending to evade the
levenue laws. The penalty in such cases is
fifty dollars on conviction.—Savannah Repub
lican.

The Rome Courier, referring to the “ True

“We are glad to see her paper started—ju9t

anything more serious than this, we do not ex

that he had quite a number of cotton blooms in

A Card—The undersigned, as mutual tnends

Thsir acquiescence in this _ arrangement bas

Thomas W. Humes, -
Thos. A. R. Nelson,
Knoxville, 27th June, 1870.
Wb clip the following particulars of a horri
ble death on the railroad, from the Knoxville
Chronicle, oi the 28th inst: As the Sunday
morning train irom Chattanooga waa rounding
a curve three miles West of Riceville, the engi
neer discovered a man lying on the track, t he
train was stopped as soon as possible, but not
until half the cars had passed over the body.—
Upon examination it was found to be the body
of a colored laborer, and had evidently been
dead some hours. It is supposed that the man
was killed by the night freight tram. The body
was so frightfully mangled that it could not be
recognized by the ti ain hands. The wheels had
cut and crushed the head so that only the cbm
and a portion ot the lower jaw remained, xhe
wheels had also passed over the abdomen, near
ly severing the body. The clothing was nearly
all torn off, and altogether, it was a horrid and
harrowing sight. The body was lying between
and parallel with the rail, and so terribly crush
ed that the pilot and trucks of the passenger
train did not touch it.
After many years ot progress the Mobile
& Girard Railroad has been completed to Troy,
Alabama—a distance ol S3 miles. The occa
sion was taken advantage of by Columbus to
give an ovation to the municipal authorities
and citizens oi Troy, Union Springs, and other
places, and dwellers along the line of the road.
The road gave a free passage to all invited
guests.—Columbus Sun.
Death of Mrs. Marshall.—We find in
the Mobile Register ol Tuesday morning the
accompanying announcement, which will be
received with sincere regret by many in this
community:
Died, yesterday, 27th inst., at four o’clock,
P. M., Caroline A. Howard, wile of B. F. Mar
shall, and daughter of the late Major Jno. H.
Howard, of Columbus, Ga.—Columbus Sun.
An Extra Fine Cotton Stalk.—We re
ceived yesterday morning a cotton stalk, grown
on Mr. W. H. Goodrich’s place, six miles irom
the city, forty inches in height, bearing two full
blooms and squares too mauy to enumerate.—
This sample is trom a field of three acres, cul
tivated by Mr. John H. Smith, without fertili
zers, and is the best specimen ot the plant yet
exhibited at our office.—Augusta Constitution
alist.
The cotton crop in mis and the adjoining
counties is reported to be seriously injured by
the continued wet weather. The prospect of a
fine crop entertained three or four weeks since,
no longer exists. We understand that the cot
ton worm has made its appearance in several
fields. This being the case the immense yield
hoped lor will have passed away. The Mont
gomery Advertiser ot the 28iff’ says: “ Col. J.
M. Sutherlin, of Greenville, brought from
Greenville yesterday morning, leeves of cotton
covered with the destroying Catterpillar. As
they have made their appearance this early in
the season, much uneasiness is naturally lelt.—
It is feared that they will destroy much ot the
crop. The cotton shown was Iroin the planta
tion of Mr. Goldsmith."—Rome Daily.
The Madrid Government in trying to find a
youth born in the purple to take the Spanish
throne has tossed one alte.r another ot the royal
youngsters into the arena ot discussion, and the
terriers of the press have made a lively bout’s
work of it. The unfortunate princes were
proved to be infirm, idiotic, immoral, ot doubt
ful legitimacy, of unsound principles—their
ancestors tainted by history and their descend
ants by conjecture. One by one they were, to
use the gentle Spanish phrase, hint diced.
Freaks of the Lightning.—During the
prevalence ol the several lightning and thunder
storms on Monday evening, there was quite a
stir and commotion among the hands in the ina
chine shops ot the Nariiville &■ Chattanooga
Railroad. The lightning flashed luridly and
vividly, anrl the almost incessant thunder peals
made the extensive buildings quiver to their
lonndation8. The lightning was evidently
striking in close proximity. One bolt, more
blinding than the others, seemed to upheave the
entire premises. Three ot the workmen were
stunned, one of them being thrown down and
severely shocked. The sledge hammer of anoth
er was unclenched Irom his grasp and thrown
some distance. No damage was sustained, how
ever, and the men soon recovered from the
shock they had received.—Xasdivttle Union &
American.
A story has been told of a graceless scamp
who gained access to the Clarendon printing
office, in Oxford, when the forms ot a new edi
tion of the Episcopal Prayer Book had just
been made up and were ready lor the press.
In that part ol the “ form ” containing the mar
riage service he substituted the letter for the
letter v in the word live; and thus tne vow “ to
love, honor, comfort, &c., so long as ye both
shall live,” was made to read “ eo loDg as ye
both shall like ! ” The change was not discov
ered until the whole of the edition was printed
ofi. if the sheets thus rendered useless in Eng
land be still preserved it would be a good spec
ulation to have them ne-itly bound and forward
ed to Indiana and Connecticut.
A Good One.—Old Judge Barbour, of Vir
ginia, alter enjoying the highest honors and re
tiring to private lile, waa prevailed on to be a
candidate lor a local office. The opposition
trotted out an illiterate, rough-and-tumble poli
tician named Bill Maples, against tbe old plan.
In accordance with the strict rules ot conduct
ing a political campaign in those days, Gover
nor Barbour had to take the stump with Maples.
But Maples could always beat him in abusive
haiangues. The final speech ot the campaign
made by Maples was abusive beyond all prece
dent. The toliowing is Barbour’s reply, which
we think is the most complete thing in its way
tliat we ever read. Said the Governor:
‘Fellow Citizens : When I was a young man,
now ntaily forty years ago, your grandfathers
sent me as their respesentative lor four terms to
tiie House of Delegates, and I wa9 chosen
Speaker of that body. At a subsequent period
I was twice elected Governor of Virginia.
Alter wards and ior ten years I represented this
renowned commonwealth in the Senate of the
United States, where I was the confidaute and
peihaps 1 may say the peer of Macon, King,
Gaillard, Pinckney, Van Buren. Mr. John
Quincy Adams subsequently conferred upon
me a place in his cabinet, aud for three years I
shared his Counsels in conjunction wi'tr Clay,
Wirt and McLean. I was then appointed ». voy
extraordinary and minister plenipotentiary to
the court ot St. James, where it became'my
duty to conduct negotiations with theconquerer
ol Napoleon. Judge then, fellow-citizens, of
tbe ineffable disgust I feel, after such a career,
and in my declining years, at fiudiDg myself
here to-day engaged in a low, pitiful county
contest with snch a disagreeable little cuss
as Bill Maples.”
Gen. Butler says “be has seen a fleet of
wooden ships in the channel of a river running
tour miles an hour, only three-quarters of a mile
wide between forts, with 168 guns bearing upon
them, and no one of these ships wa3 substan
tially hurL” This means that Com. Farragut is
