Gkobuia.—The Macon Telegraph's specials give the following majorities forTlldan: Baldwin about 800; Quit man county 400; Thomas 300 for Smith over Whitely; Pike 700 for Candler. What is to bo done about the out rageous and high-handed intermed dling of Southern officials and their employees with the elections in the South ? We hope that steps will be token to have the legality of their conduct judicially Investigated at least. The Popular Vote.— There is no doubt whatever of a very large pop ular vote in the whole Union for Tilden and Hendricks. We have lit tle doubt that the Democratic major ities In two States alone-say Texas and Kentucky—will outnumber the entire Badical majorities in all the States carried for Hayes. The New Orleans Times correctly says that the planting of staple crops, like cotton suguarand tobacco, were best suited to the days of slavery; but now, with the facilities for in creasing temporary labor, and the rapid means of taking off a wheat crop, cotton and wheat may be plan ted on the same place without inter ference and with prnflt. Ex-Senator Revels, of Mississippi, the first colored man ever admitted to the Senate of the United States, contributed largely to the splendid Democratic victory in his State. He made an active canvass of Missis sippi and made telling speeches in other States. Being probably the ablest politician of his color in the country, he everywhere struck effec tive blows. We hope that President Tilden will remember him. The Bninbridge Democrat says: “Cotton can bo shipped from Bain bridge via Chattahooohee and Fer nandina to New York for ninety cents a hundred. M. IJ. Barnett & Sons shipped sixty bales that way per last steamer. It strikes us that the Atlantio and Gulf Road is great ly in |its own light by allowing freights to be diverted from their natural channel, when it could so easily control it by allowing shippers reasonable rates.” Alabama.— I The Montgomery Adver tiser has special dispatches giving the following reports from counties and towns: Majorities for Tilden—Talladega 500; Jefferson about 1,500; Limestone 300; Bullock over 450; Tuskegeo 319; Notasulga 210; Pollard 90; Opelika 430; Loackapoka 325; Greenville 245; Columbiana 5; Saluria 141; North port 225; Verbena 103; Blount Springs 30; Cullman 79; Eufaula 880; Evergreen 125; Gadsden 225. Majorities for Hayes—Demopolis 65; Montgomery city 1,287. In the • 4th Congressional District, the Radical vote is much divided bo tween Huralson and Rapier, both col ored, and Gen. Shelley, Dem., re ceives the full Democratic vote. Twelve*preeincts of Dallas give Shel ley 1,441, Haralson 1,484, Rapier 59. In Lowndes the negro vote was solid for Rapier. The district is overwhel mingly Radical. In Mobile, in the Ist District, Brom berg, independent Democrat, beats Jones, regular Dem., 2,000 or 2,500. In Marengo Jones will bent Brom berg 1,000. CONBBNSEU UEORUI4 NEWS. —We have onecase of a negro killing in Georgia on election day. The Macon Tele graph. says: “A oolorod man residing in Sandy Bottom went to the polls and voted tire Democratic ticket. When ho went homo his wife assailed him with an ax, striking him on the hoad, producing in juries which may possibly prove fatal. It was reported last ovotdng that the man was dead.” —The Macon Advertiser is tho nnnio of anew weekly paper in that,city. It is a small sheet, relying chiefly on advertising. Mr. H. C. Hill is the editor and proprietor. —Atlanta Times, 7th: There are only twenty-five United Slates soldiers here. Ail the garrison are attending tho elec-’ tion in South Carolina, but the govern ment don't know how many of their num ber would be glad to see Hampton elected. —The gin house, with several bales of cotton belonging to Mr. J. R. Lcggon, of Bartow county, was accidentally destroy ed by fire last Friday. Loss heavy, with no insurance. —Tho Omstilutionalist soys smell change is exceedingly scarce in Augusta, owing to tho substitution, in part, of sil ver for paper money and tho hoarding up of the latter. —Tho Dalonega Signal reports flush times among some of tiie gold minors in that county. The “Pigoon Roost” pan ned out last last week one hundred and fifty pennyweights to the panful. —Home Courier, 4th: John Allroad, of this county came in yesterday and paid his State and county tax. Ho says ho never swore an oath; never pave his note; never bought anything on a creditor went in debt; never was drunk; never had a cross word with a neighbor; never used tobacco in any form; never liad a law suit; never was a witness in any suit, civil or criminal, and always voted just as he pleased. He is 52 years of age. —Dahlonega Advertiser: It is nothing uncommon to stumble upon a dead hog at almost every corner upon our back streets. Some of them fattening hogs, and died in the pen, and is supposed to tie the effect of cholera. Again we ask, can’t Borne of our farmers who are interested in the pork-raising business, send a re cipe to this office, for the prevention or cure of this destructive disease, so that those who are suffering from it, may to Borne extent, check the ravages of this great enemy to swine—the hog cholera? THE CiKttAT VICTORY. '•0h! ntcta.d.J— Bo fought, ao followed, wad o lairly won- Came not till now to dignify the time*/' The peaceful revolution effected by the people of the United States on Tuesday is one of vast importance and Interest to the whole country; but to the people of the South It comes like a proclamation of deliver ance and liberty. It was plain to the reason of every reflecting man that the Republican party, by their reck less and irresponsible rule, were de stroying both the form and the spirit of the government; but this was a matter of feeling and sad experience with the people of the Southern States, who for the last twelve years have been ruled as serfs rather than as citizens of a free country. We feel that wo are at last to bo re-admitted to equal participation In the rights and liberties of American citizens, and that hereafter the Federal Gov ernment will recognizo in these States and peoplo' some rights en titled to respect. We feel that for us the Union is to bo restored in reality as well as in name, and that, left to manage our own local governments and interests, we can now hopefully commence the recuperation of our prosperity and the substantial revival of our industries and interests. In this hour of victory and hopeful anticipation, wo should remember that enlarged freedom brings with it Increased responsibilities and new perils. There is much to be accom plished in the way of reconciliation of estranged and distrustful classes among us; in the effecting of the unity of political feeling and aims which constitutes a groat element of the strength of any people; in the correction of the demoralization of labor and derangement of produc tive industries. The task before us should be approached without re sentment or passion, and in full view of irreversible changes and new con ditions which must bo harmonized rather than fashioned. The occasiou is one of joy and con gratulation—the prospect one of promise. Wo have only to prove ourselves equal to the new emergen cy, and every consoling anticipation of the last twelve years will be fully realized. “REFORM'' THE OKIIEK OF TIIE HAY. The reforms to follow the election of Tilden and Hondricks should not be confined to the policies of the Government, tho correction of offi cial abuses and punishment of offi cial rasoalities. We need a great deal of reformation outside of official circles. Wo need a persistence in the agricultural reforms that have been our pecuniary salvation this year. We need reform in our domes tic economies—tho breaking up of tho idols of fashion and extravagance that have so long held us spell bound; a return to the republican simplicity and frugality necessary for a people so utterly prostrated by revolution ns ours have lately been; und a correction of the prevalent habits of indulgence that deteriorate manhood and corrupt youth. We were pleased, yesterday, to hear a very worthy and successful young farmer of Russell county, Ala., give emphatic expression to his resolutions on this subject. He de clared that he had injured himself and pained his wife and friends by the occasional too free use of liquor, but that he most sol emnly pledged himself, now that Tilden was elected, not to touch another drop of intoxicating drink. Wo believe that he was deep ly in earnest in this, and that ho has tho resolution to keep his vow. Now suppose that all our people, who have so patriotically supported Tilden and Hendricks with a view to the refor mation of the Government, were to resolve like this young farmer that they would never indulge In the use of liquor as a daily beverage again— how great a “reform” would thus be effected! How noblo a oonformity of private life and practice to a great public reformation! Tho consequent blessings would be inestimable, and the beneficent oftect miraculously great. Let us bear in mind that we have commenced an era of “reform,” and that we must not expect Tilden and Hendricks, or even the triumphant Democratic party, to accomplish it all. The people, in their private lives as well as their public acts, should uphold the bauds of their chosen Moses. This would be a reform wor thy of a heroic age, and even before the expiration of Tilden’s executive term, it would fully restore and in crease four-fold the prosperity and power of our Southern people. It is reported that a Massachusetts iish company has a contract to sup ply parties in Germany with 27,000 barrels, and another firm is going to send 8,000 barrel to Sweden. Ship ping fish to] Sweden is like "sending coal to Newcastle”; but is charac teristic of Yankee push and enter prise. —The Irwlnton Southerner and Appeal learns that Mr. J. N. Wall, one of the lest stock raisers in Wilkinson county, has lost every hog he owned with hog cholera. There was over a hundred head, and some of them woro largo and flnts, and the loss to Mr. Wall is very serious ns ho was de pending upon them for his next year’s supply of bacon. In llurmak, if two married persons are tired of each other’s society, they dissove partnership in the following touching but conclusve manner: They light two candles, and shutting up their hut sit down and wait quiet ly until they are burned out. The one whose candle burns out first gets up at once and leaves the house (and forever) taking nothing but the clothes he or she may have on at the time; all else becomes the property of the other party. -The Courier reports fifty per cent, more cotton received in Borne up to date than at this time last year. THE HI HUEH OE FLETCHER TOL BERT. TEBKinLB WOIUC OF THE LEMON LIQUOR. From tbe Atlanta Constitution, 7th.) On Sunday night at about half-past 7, two pistol snots rang out on the still air, at the southeast corner of the City Hall lot. A crowd quickly gathered. It transpired that George Clark, a son of Judge Richard H. Clark, had killed Fletcher Tolbert aDd fired at Bob MeWatcrs. The story can be best told by giving the testimony of the jiarties interested or implicated. This has been care fully collected by the reporters of the Constitution. Wo shall begin with the BTOKV OF ROBERT M’WATEKS, the only witness of the killing, and the conversation that preceded it. CiVllng at Mr. McWutors’ we found him sitting with his coat off, appa rently preparing for the funeral, which took place at 4 o’clock. He is a bright, clear-eyed, intelligent look ing young fellow, about nineteen years of age. His voice trembled so when he told his story, that he could hardly articulate, unu he kept his right hand running nervously across his mouth and chin while he was talking. Says ho: “Fletcher and myself were going out to St. Paul’s church, by an arrangement made in the ev ening. We were waiting on the cor ner of Hunter and McDonough streets, under the trees, for Ellis dri vers who was going with us. We had been standing there a few moments, when a young man, who we after wards found out was George Clark, came up the street towards John Connelly’s house. He stopped as he reached us, and shook hands with both of us. He then asked us if we had seen Jim Small?” Wo told him we iiad not. Ho then told us he in tended to kill him on sight. We laughed and talked about a minute, when he turned around suddenly and asked Fletcher if bo “had said any thing about a certain lady,” (men tioning her name.) Fletcher replied that he had not; adding that he did not even know the lady. George then said that whoever said anything about her was a G-dd-d liar.” Fletcher laughed at this, and said he had nothing to do with it. George kept cursing out loud, and Anally Fletcher said to him: "You are drunk now, and had better go on.” He was still perfectly good-humor ed and was laughing when he threw his left foot, back, jerked out a pis tol and putting it squaro against. Fletdher’s breast flred. Fletcher fell back convulsively and caught against a tree. He then fell to tno ground. George turned at once upon me and flred. I ran around the corner. When I came back, I heard someone whistle. I thought it was Fletcher. It turned out tube Eilis Chivers. I told him what had happened, and we went to Fletcher’s house. He had walked home and was in bed. Mr. MeWatcrs said that he felt con vinced that Clark would have killed any one that ho had met standing there; that there was nothing in the world between Fletcher and Clark; that he believed Clark would huve killed any one that lie would have met in his then condition of mind. HOW FLETCHER OOT HOME AND HOW HE DIED. Wo called at Mr. Tolbert’s house and got an audience with Mr. Mor ris Tolbert, the brother of Fletcher. Mr. Tolbert was of course full of grief, but talked clearly, calmly and coherently. He says that Fletcher left home about live minutes before the shooting, for tho purpose of go ing to church. There lias been a re vival going on at St. Paul’s church, and Fletcher has been attending it regularly. He has been trying to get religion, poor boy, and we hope ho was ready to die before death came to him. He was very deeply im pressed with the necessity of a change of life. Just after supper he said to me. “Coine and go over to church with mo.” I replied, that I was going with a young lady. He laughed and said, “I have been with my sweetheart all the evening,” and then walked out the door. Just after he had left tho house, mother come in, and asked me if I could take her to church? I told her I had an engagement. My brother Jeff then told her she could go with him and his wife. She asked where Fletcher was. I told ker.he had gone to church, and repeated what he had said about his sweetheart, when all of a sudden, Fletcher walked in the door as pale as a sheet, and with his face set very sternly. Ho staggered over towards mother aud in a sort of groan, says: “Oh, mother! mother!” She asked what was the matter. He says: “I have been shot, and I feel terribly bad.” With that he stag gered down to where mother was, and fell. I asked him where he was shot, for there was no blood showing on his clothes. He had his right hand pressed against his left breast under his coat aud says; “I am shot right here, and know that lam going to die.” I then became very mad. and asked him who had done it. He told me, and I ran out of the house to wards where the shooting had oc curred. I met Sheriff Perkerson.who had heard the shots, and had hur ried toward where they came from. I told him to arrest Clark, and then hastened after a doctor. When I returned, Dr. Baird and Dr. Leo were in attendance upon Fletcher. He was sinking rapidly, but was perfectly rational. He told us all about the shooting ['(Mr. Tol bert here gave his brother’s dying statement, substantially what has been told inMcWaters’ words.) When I approached Fletcher’s bedside he looked upand said, “Mor ris, you are my brother, ain’t you?” I told him he was. He then put out his hand and took mine and said. “I am going to die.” I told him I thought he would get well. He shook his head and said, “No; but I am not afraid to die.” He then com plained that his back hurt him “mighty bad,” the ball having lodged there. We lifted him up. He fell back fainting, and the doctors injected morphine into him. In a minute more ne was dead, and there died as good and gentle a boy—as kind and affectionate son as ’ ever lived. Mr. Tolbert was very much affect ed, especially when he alluded to his mtoher, and the irreparable loss she had sustained. HIS THEORY OF THE KILLING differs a little from McWaters. While both agree that it was utterly cause less, he is disposed to think that Clark was angered because the boys laughed, when he asked them foolish questions, and cursed them in a drunken way. Fletcher said just be fore he died, that he “was laughing when Clark shot him.” Mr. Tolbert thinks that the boys seeing that Clark was maudlin and that he was not responsible for his words, laugh ed at his incoherent manner until he became irritatated, and drew his pistol and fired. WHAT JUDGE CLARK SAYS. We called upon Judge Richard H. Clark the father of the prisoner. There is no man held in higher esti mation, or in tenderer regard by our whole people than Judge Clark. He is a pure, just, able man—a man ab solutely without blemish—beloved by all classes. His first words wore characteristic of the stern and utter ly just spirit that move in all his actions. “I could not be reconciled to it, sir," he said, "if the circum stances were reversed. I had rather my boy were dead, than as he la.” It has been quite generally re ported for some time that George Clark was deranged. He had been drinking so heavily that his mind was continually off its balance. He was always doing and saying things that led to a suspicion of his de rangement. We asked his father if ho had noted signs of insanity in his son lately. He replied promptly that ho had. Said lie, up to 7th of last April lie was as faithful, and competent a boy as I could have wished. He never touch ed liquor, and was always at bis work. He stayed in the office with me, and was my clerk, and my mes senger. I sent him to and from the bunk, and any where that business culled him. lie was perfectly re sponsible und a great comfort to me. I left here on the 7th of April, and was gone two weeks. I was perfect ly astonished when I returned to And that he was drunk: that he had been drunk for some time, and that he had misapplied some funds I had left with him. SiDce that day he has not been sober for a single week. He seemed to have utterly lost control of his will. I confined him to his room, but he escaped by jumping from the win dow to the top of the venandah, and clambering thence into the hall. On one occasion he broke past his mother, and hurt her hand very severely as she tried to restrain him. Her hand is not well yet. I have not considered him respon sible for months, and havo been per petually uneasy when he was out. of my sight. I have never feared that he would kill uny one, but that he would come to harm himself. As strange as it may seem, this morning is the first time that I have felt that he was safe, and now simply because he is in jail, where he can do no barm to himself or to others.” NOTICE.
