ABOVE PASSENGER DEPOT.
A Monument for Hayne.
To the Editors of the News and
Courier: The South owes a debt to
the late Paul Hi Hayne greater than
it can ever pay. The movement on
foot to erect a m'onument to his mem
ory it a commendable one and will be
successful. But the Southern people
can erect another monument toTiim
more durable than brass or stone.
Let Mrs. Hayne and her son j^ut in
press a handsome volume contaming.
the life and principal works of the
dead poet and author# one. that will
sell at $5 per copy, and.let the South
ern people, through the various liter
ary societies or directly, subscribe for
10,000 or more copies of the work.
The royalty, as well as the large com
mission usually paid agents, would
thus go to the loved and honored fam
ily, and would be but a just return to
them of what was due during. Hayne’s
life, when his be§t works brought him
only a fractional part of their real
value. Will not the literary societies
and the press of the South, where
Hayne’s genius and patriotic ardpr
are appreciated, take the matter in
hand, and insure the inauguration
and success of this or some other good
plan to attain the object desired? M.

We recommend the appointment of Joseph |

We view with pride the almost complete con

same.
It is with deep regret that we part this terra

Grand Jury Presentments.
¥
Gkand Jury lloOil, Baldwin Superior Court,
Milledgeville, Ga., August 5th, 1386.
We, the undersigued Grand Jurors, selectedj.
sworn, and chosen for the adjourned term of
the July tourt, beg leaive to make the follow
ing presentments:
ordinary’s books.
We have carefully examined the accounts
of this ofliccr and lind them properly support
cd by necessary vouchers. The hooks are not
only accurately and systematically kept, but
are a model of neatness. W efeel assuied that
the affairs of the county are wisely anil econom
ically conducted. The amount collected from
all sources of the County, we find to be $51.65.
The bonded debt of the c-ountv we find to be for
ty-four thousand dollars. Of this debt eighteen
thousand dollars are known as *31. & A. It. R.
bonds,’ three thousand dollars of which are
due annually—the last maturing in 1892. Of
the issue known as ‘bridge bonds’ all have
been jiaid save one thousand dollars which ma
tures in January 1887. The issue of 1383 of
|25,000. known as the ’court house bonds,’ aieof
course fresh in the memory to us all. The
court house bonds were sold for $27,014,50 reali»-
ing a handsome premium upon their par or
face value which is of co ne gratifying and
speaks well for the conduct of the financial
management of county matters. Of the pro
ceeds of the sale of these bonds 124,149.40 has
been paid out upon the work of the new court
house, leaving a balance of $2,865.10 yet unex-
peuded, but to complete the structure with the
improvements of its surroundings, it is be
lieved that, this balance will be needed. This
structure is one in which the county should
look upon with pride and admiration and ex-
t<^pd much credit to our worthy and efficient
Ordinary and those associated with him.

In view of the fact that this officer intends to
no longer to be applicant for the office of Treas
urer, and that his term of office has served us
so faithfully and acceptably to all parties, we
deem it but just to express regrets at our loss
aud commend his conduct iuthe highest terms
to his successor.
SHERIFF’S BOOKS.
We find the books and. accounts of this officer
to be kept in" a business like manner. All
transactions connected with this officer sup
ported by necessary vouchers, lie is ever
vigilant to the interests of the county and we
cannot speak in too high terms of his efficiency
and untiring energy during his long term of
service in this capacity.
JUDGE OF THE COUNTY COURT.
The special Committee appointed by.the last
Grand Jury to investigate the record of the
•county court, embracing the period from Jan
uary term, 1885, to January Term 1886, report
that they have discharged that duty, and find
tho diserepancy reported by the last Giand
Jury did exist but has since been satisfactorily
adjusted.
It is the opinion of this body that theRecoids
of this officer have been carelessly and negli
gently kept and call special attention'to the
Committee herein after mentioned to a thor
ough and exhaustive examination of the same,
and that a full and complete report in writing
be submitted to the next Grand Jury.
TAX COLLECTOR’S BOOK.
Have been examined and show accuracy and
dilligence. All monies have been paid over
to the Treasurer save an amount now in hank
subject to the decision of an issue now pending-
Without entering into further details we find
the Records of other county officers neatly
and systematically kept.
ROADS AND BRIDGES.
We find the roads in moderately fair condition.
We would respectfully call the attention of the
Ordinary to the necessity of repairs on the
bridges over Ocouc4 River and Fishing cieek
on Macon road. . «
We further recommend that the petition of
numerous citizens to erect a bridge over Camp
creek be complied with upon condition set forth
in said petition.
TJIE JAIL,
Wc find neatly kept but is in an unsafe condi
tion and respectfully suggest that 2 cells be
constructed.on the latest improved plan, and
that a Kitchen fye built, and fences repaired.
THE POOR HOUSE AND PAUPER FARM*
We wish to express our gratification of the
condition and management of affairs at the
Poor house ana Pauper farm, and recommend
that another mule be furnished for the use of
said farm.
Believing as we do that a watchful eye should
be ever kept upon the administration of coun
ty affairs, and being now'convinced of the
necessity of a thorough examination of county
matters, we havq. appointed a committee of
five with the foreman to select this committee
of three to give a thorough investigation of all
the books and records of the county, and that
the said Committee make under oath report
to the next term of the court, reporting separ
ately and upon the records of each officer; and
further that said Committee he hereby empow
ered to send for persons and papers w henever
by them deemed necessary to the proper per
formance of their duty and that said Committee
be allowed $3.00 per diem each for actual time
for services rendered.

Warlike Move by Mexico.
MASSING TROOPS ON THE BANKS OF
THE RIO GRANDE.
Laredo, Aug. 7.—A detachment of
400 Mexican troops arrived in Nueva
Laredo, Mexico, last night. They are
principally infantry and artillery, and
brought two cannon with them.
They have placed the cannon so as
to command Fort McIntosh, on the
Texas side of the Rio Grande, and
Mexican officers have been noticed
taking observations from the position
all day. m
Considerable indignstion is express
ed by the Americans at the arrival of
these troops, and this action on the
part of the Mexicans does not auger
for a peaceful solution of the present
difficulty. •
LIVELY RUMORS IN ATLANTA.
Atlanta, Ga., Aug. 7.—Lively ru
mors are afloat here tonight in refer
ence to the war with Mexico. The
press dispatches announce the mass
ing of Mexican forces on the Texas
frontier, and rumor has it that Gov.
McDaniel, in common with the Gov
ernors of all the States, has been wir
ed by the Secretary of War to know
how many organized troops there are
in Georgia ready ter enlist for Mexico
in case war is declared. Certain it i3
that Governor McDaniel was wired to
return to Atlanta this evening from
Walton county, but he denies the re
ceipt of any telegram from the Secre
tary of Wac, and says he was called
on a different matter. Mexico is the
topic of conversation tonight, and a
number of young fellows declare
their readiness to go. •
CUTTING SENTENCED TO ONE YEAR.
El Paso, Tex., Aug. 7.—Cutting
has been sentenced to one year’s im
prisonment at hard labor, and pay a
fine of $600.
CUTTING TO BE HURRIED OFF.
St Louis, Aug. 7.—The El Paso,
Texas, correspondent of the Globe-
Democrat telegraphs tonight that the
sentence was pronounced on Cutting
this evening. If he cannot pay the
fine he will have to serve one hundred
days longer.
Medina, who caused all the trouble,
has leave to sue Cutting in a civil suit
for damages. * The question of censur
ing American Consul Brigham and
asking for his removal is referred to
the Supreme Court of Chihuahua.
Cutting will probably be hnrried off
to prison at Chihuahua to night.

Henry Watterson sent in his card to
Secretary Endicott, some months ago.
The Secretary declined to see him on
the ground that he was unknown!
Retribution has come. We learn that
Mr. Endicott had occasion to go to
the House of Representatives on bus
iness. He entered the hall and walk
ed around for quite a while without
being recognized by any one. He
was about to leave when Mr. Randall
lioppened to see him and engaged
him in conversation. It is rather a
surprise that none of the members
whom he passed should have known
the Cabinet officer, but Mr. Endicott
is an exclusive sort of maxi, and there
is not much communication between
members of Congress and the Secre
tary of War.—Augusta Chronicle.
