The case was one that exalted a good
deal of comment, and the jury not being
satisfied of his guilt, rocommended him to
the mercy of the court. The court could
do nothing except sentence him to the
penitentiary. His counsel, Loe McLostor,

falling before the jury, appealed to the
Governor for pardon, with the above suc

PROGRAMME FOR MONDAY NIGHT.
The following has been decided upon as

oesaion, on Monday night, November 6th,
1876.
All citizens, Irrespective of color, who
desire to see the Democracy triumphant
and the Country saved, are Invited to moot

at 6 % o'clock, and Join in the Grand
Democratic Torchlight Procession.
THE PROCESSION
will be formed at the Post Office corner,
st 7 r. m. promptly.
The order of march will be up Ogle
thorpe street to Bryan, into Bryan to
Broad, and down Broad to the Rankin
House.

A. Thornton, Judge Jos. F. Pou, and Chas.

Supervisors or Elections.
Under the United States law, a Super
visor of election will be furnished any
connty upon application of either party,
provided the application Is made two days
before the election. We learn from those
who would more likely ask the appoint
ment of such an officer, that no petitioner
was sent from Muscogee, and hence on
tho day of election we will have no Super
visor among us, other than the regular
managers appointed by the Ordinary of
the county.
Under the famous edict of the tyrant
Taft, the United States Marshals are re
quired to appoint Deputy United States
Marshals to try and carry the South for
Radicals. About Ufteen days ago the ap
pointment was sent to Mr. Locke, but he
declined, returning the papers by the next
mall. We have not been able to learn
whether or not anybody has boen ap
pointed, but as somebody must be chosen,
we expect the appointment will be made
among our own people.
For Marshal.
Col. Bobert Thompson is before the
people, asking their votes for the oflloe of
City Marshal.
Everybody knows Col. Thompson, and
they know he is both clever and compe
tent. The people will recollect his gallant
services as a follower of Dixie's flag, and
they will reward him with this, the first
office be has asked at their hands.
Col. Thompson combines all those qual
ities that eminently fit him for the posi
tion-activity, firmness and fearlessness.
If the people of Columbus will eloct him,
they will have a Marshal who we can foel
is a Marshal for the whole city.
Hedunion in Dry Goods.
By reference to the advertisement of Mr.
J.B. Jones, it will be seen he has made a
reduction In dry goods. Ho is one of the
most successful dry goods merchants in
the city, and keeps in his store everything
in his line, of the best goods. Yesterday
bis store was thronged with lady custom
ers, for he is Justly popular with them,
selling only first goods, at living prices.
Go to-day and see for yourself.
What la Fame T
Mr. Cliff B. Grimes is a prominent can
didate for tho Mayoralty of Brunswick.
He is one of the most influential and solid
men of that city —Savannah New.
The above we clip from the Savannah
News. Mr. Grimes would bo one of the
mosFinfiuoatial and solid men of Bruns-<
wick if he lived there. He is just as pop
ular, however, in his home, and our Sa
vannah contemporary would be right if
he had said Mr. Grimes was a prominent
candidate for the Mayoralty of Columbus.
A Plea for the Doctors.
The Washington Chpitol sets up a plea
for the poorly paid doctors of the land.
It says: We believe it was old’Doctor
Moigs, of the Jefferson School, who ad
vised his students when they started in
practice, to send in their bills promptly,
while the heart of the patient is warm
with gratitude, and he has still feeling of
despondency which renders the family
physician the Jupiter Tonans of his sick
vision. The idea may have been the off
spring of a long experience, or may have
been suggested by the familiar lines:
••God ml the Doctor we alike adore,
But eoly when in danger, not before.
The danger o'er, both are alike reqnitted,
God la foraakeu and the Doctor'* alighted.”
The truth is the family physician’s
claims are too often postponed to the de
mands of tho butcher and baker and can
dlestick maker. It requires almost a sur
gical operation oftentimes to unite the
purse-strings of a man dragged from the
jaws of death; and we avail ourselves of
this opportunity to present the claims of
the medical man to the justice of his pa
tient.
To the Public.
Having roceivod our new stock, wo
would respectfully invite our customers
and the publio in genoral, to call and ex
amine the same. Every artiiele has been
selected with great care, as to style, and
will be found equal to any offered for sale
in New York, or olsowhere. The prioos of
watches, jewelry and silver-ware has been
reduced considerable here lately, and as
we buy only for cash, we can offer our
goods at the lowest profitable price.
Therefore ir you want good goods at low
prices you will find what you wont at

Mr. Dope was plucky In making his first
appearance before an Atlanta audience in
so difficult a characterization as Richelieu.
Mr. Booth remarked- -and truly—that no
character in theatrical repertories re
quired so much true arlstlc ability as that
of the great cardinal.
Mr. Pope far surpassed expectation, and
fairly won his spurs. Wo have seen
Booth, Forrest, Barrett In this masterly
character. Our opinion Is that Barrott
led the trio In strength and power of exe
cution, Mr. Booth giving an exquisite and
delocate personation, and Mr.Forrestgiv
ing a surprisingly faulty piece of work.
Mr. Pope was admirable. We are strong
ly tempted to pronounce his tho llnest
Richelieu we ever saw. His physical ac
tion was hardly so faultless as either
Barrett’s or Booth's, he seeming at cer
tain unimportant points to throw off the
nervous, weak yet strenuous action of the
old man. When he was fairly before his
audience however, and felt that he was
superb, armed at all points with the char
acteristics of old age. and was faultless.
His conception was spirited, and yet not
overdrawn. It was foil of fire and ener
gy, and kept tho audience onthralled from
rise to fall of tho curtain. In the crisis of
the drama, he was grand, and the house
testllled Its appreciation by continued ap
plause. Indeed, Mr. Pope’s roeeptton was
all that could be desired. He had his
enthusiasm to manufacture, and he did it
He will be greeted by a crowded house to
night. Every one who was present will
bo his active advocate to-day.
Tho company with Miss Rand, as Mr.
Pope’s support, was the best, with possi
bly the exception of tho Fifth Ave
nue company, that Atlanta has ever seen.

SPEECHES BY HON. “BLUE JERKY” WUr
LIAUS, CODS. WADDELL AND BARNRB.
Last night quite a crowd gutlierod at
the school house In Girard to hear the
Hon. J. N. Williams, candidate for re-elec
tion to Congress, speak.
Col. W. A. McDougald, Chairman of the
Executive Committee, In o neat spoeeh
Introduced Mr. Williams to the audience.
It has not been our good fortune to hear
so excellent a speech In a long while. The
speaker In beautiful but forcible language
arralgnod tho Radical party not only for
its usurpations and corruptions la na
tional affairs, but In vivid stylo refreshed
the memory of his hearers upon the
wrongs done Alabama. His explanation
of tho rise of tho Democratic party, and
tho merging of the Old Line Whig party
Into It was a most satisfactory answer to
all men who attempt to estrange Old
Whigs from tho present Democratic par
ty. The tribute to oppressed South Caro
lina, and ihe gallant Hampton was greet
ed with deafening applause.
Mr. Williams’ speech was a splendid
piece of rhetoric and argument, and crea
ted a lino impression. We are glad to
know such men represent tho South In
Congress.
OOL. WADDELL,
of Seale, was next called upon, and took
up the subject where Mr. Williams left off.
He made a very short speoch to the point,
and excused himself owing to Indisposi
tion. He substituted for himself, In a
beautiful induction,
OOL. BARNES,
of Opelika, who being present addressed
the meeting in an hour's speech. Col.
Barnes is one of Alabama’s most gifted
speakers, and was highly entertaining.
His speech was full of fire and zeal, pre
dicting the certain election of Tilden. His
anecdotes were very appropriate, and
each anecdote brought down the house.
Ho christened Hon. Jere Williams “Blue
Jerry” Williams, to distinguish him from
"Blue Jean*” Williams, the hero of Indi
ana’s election.
The audience were delighted with Col.
Barnes’ speech, for It was a rare effort.
We hope he will accept the Invitation ex
tended him to be present and speak Mon
day night on the occasion of the Young
Men's Tilden Club Torch Light proces
sion. Col. Barnes told some funny things
on Independents, and went for them Iri a
style peculiar to himself.
The meeting adjourned, all well pleased
and thoroughly aroused. Girard will do
her duty in the election Tuesday, and holp
to blot out of the nation, the corrupt Rad
ical party.
Mad Accident.
Yesterday evening just about dusk, as
the wood train on the Mobile A Girard
Railroad was coming In, the switch where
this road Intersects tho Southwestern
Hoad not being in readiness, tho train was
checked up, and while walttng, Mr. D. G.
Summers, the conductor, concluded to
take In the bell rope. In drawing it across
the cars It became entangled In the wood.
He wont out on the wood cars to loosen it,
and while there the train, which was a
long one, started auddonly and with a vio
lent jerk, throwing him with great force
on one of the standards of tho car ho was
on. The standard strnck Elm just under
the ribs on tho right side, knocking him
breathless. Ho was not discovered till the
train reached the depot, when he was Im
mediately carried to his home and Dr.
Thomas P. Chafin sent for. The extent of
his injury is not yet known, though it is
foared it is very Berlous. His sufferings
last night were very great.
Mr. Summers has been in the employ of
the road for many years, and ban by the
faithful discharge of his duties, gained
the respect and confidence of his supe
riors.

Felling one of the Mammoth Trees.
Bayard Taylor, in his Interesting work
entitled “Homo and abroad,” thus de
scribes the felling of one of the largest
specimens of the Sierra Nevada:
“Aftor a steady labor of six weoks the
thing was done, but the troo stood un
moved; so straight and symmetrical
was Its growth, so Immense was its
weight, and so broad its own
Inhabitation, tossing Its outer branch
es derisively against the mountain
wind that strove to overthrow it. A
neighboring pine of giant size was select
ed, and felled in such n way as to fall with
full force against it. The top shook a lit
tle, but the shaft stood as before; finally
the spoilers succeeded In driving their
wedge into tho cut. Gradually, and with
great labor, one side of the tree was lifted;
the mighty mass poised for a moment,
and then, with a great rushing sigh in all
its boughs was ground to dust beneath it,
and for a mile around the earth shook
with tho concussion'"
Tho more felling of it cost, at California
prices for wages, the sum of $550. The
smooth top of the stump of the tree which
Mr. Taylor saw fall is a floor ninety feet
round.

THE MORNING NEWS,
HAVAYXAII tit.
fTTHE POLITICAL CAMPAIGN OF 187(5, WHICH
X includes National, State and county elections,
and which will undoubtedly be the most active
and hotly contested of any since the memorable
canvass of 1860, is now fairly opened. The Na
tional democratic Party will this year make a
bold, vigorous, and doubtless successful strug
gle for the maintenance and supremacy of those
principles which are vital to the prosperity of
the Republic and essential to the well-being of
the people.
In addition to the Presidential election, the
people in Georgia and Florida will elect new
State governments. In Florida the campaign
promises to be unusually vigorous, and there is
a probability that for the first time since the war
the people of that Radical-ridden State will elect
a Democratic State Government. In these cam
paigns the people of the South are deeply inter
ested; and everv intelligent citizen, who has the
welfare of his country and his section at heart,
should acquaint himself with every detail of the
great work of redemption and reform that is now
going on.
Te this end he should subscribe to and assist
in circulating the iavannah Morniiiff News,
an independent Democratic newspaper, of pro
nounced opinions and fearless in their expres
sion ; a paper that is recognized everywhere as
the best daily in the South. Its editorial de
partment is vigorous, thoughtful and consistent,
while its news aud local departments are marvels
of industry and completeness. Its department
of Georgia and Florida affairs is not confined to a
mere barren summary of events transpiring in
those States, but is enlivened by comment at
once apt, timely, aud racy.
The ample resources of the establishment will
be devoted to furnishing the readers of the
MORNING NEWS
with the latest intelligence from all parts of the
world, through the press dispatches, special tel
egrams, and by means of special correspondence;
and through these agencies the paper will be the
earliest chronicler of every noteworthy incident
of the political campaign of 1876.
