j ms CONFESSION TO THE MURDER.
Our seuders wore duly apprised of the
assassination of Sir. Byrd Lyon a few days
ago at Crawford, Ala., by some unknown
parties. In anacoount we intimated that
the murderer was a paid assassin, and
feared that some family fend was at. the
bottom of it.
Wednesday night a man by the name of
Charlie Metnika was arrested in {Opelika
mi suspicion of the murder. He had been
to Crawford for four days, but lea there
two days before the murder with a view
of returning to Opelika. On the night of
the murder he was seen going from Craw
ford with a shot gun, and riding in haste
towards Opelika. After his arrest, ho ad
mitted killing Lyon, jpd saidjhe was em
ployed to kill Lyon by a woman. As yet
we have not heard whether he has given
the name of the woman who hired him.
The ease will undergo judicial investiga

as the principal. He proved to bo right,
for In his possession was found a part of
the money and the shawl stolen from Mr.
Jackson. Helms soon found out his game
was up, and ho made a
FULL CONFESSION
of the crime.
He says he learned there was money In
Mr. Chapman's store, and that he made
up his mind to have It. In company with
also colored, ho went to the
store after supper and bought a pound
of‘cheese and crackers, and that when
Mr. Chapman went Into the back room
he secreted himself behind the coun

the money drawer and slipped out of the
door. Ho then waited until Mr. Jackson,
the express agent, went out of his office
and slipped In and stole the keys to the
depot and his shawl.
From Box Bpring they came to Colum

Audacious Robbery.
A most daring robbery of the house of
Lieut. T. Jeff. Bates, noar Girard, Ala., was
committed about ten o'clock yesterday
morning. The family, being all absent for
a short time—having locked the doors be
fore making a brief visit to a neighbor’s—
the thieves ontered a window, and took
from the house Mr. Bates’ trunk, contain
ing most of his clothing; also, a pair of
boots, a Hue shot gun, about $25 in money,
and perhaps some other articles. The
theft was quickly discovered, and parties
started on the trail of the robbers. After
some time spent In the search, the trußk
was found In the bushes not far off, where
it hail beon riflell. A further investigation
led to the suspicion of Peter, a negro man
in the employment of Mr. Isaac I. Moses.
Peter was arrest ed and a portion of the
goods found in his possession. lle Is a
negro of vory little intelligence, and had
a confederate who got the most valuable
portion of the goods, and who had not

(•eorgetown Wants t Retrocede.
A moettng of tho citizens of Georgetown
was held Friday night, when the subject
of ft government for the District of Colum
bia was discussed. Speeches were made
by tho prominent business men of the
city, and it; was strongly urged that the
old form of government bo given them.
A resolution wits introduced favoring re
trocession to Maryland. The meeting was
spirited, and the committee previously ap
pointed were directed to lay tho result of
this meetiug before the Commissioners to
frame a government for the District.
Georgetown was originally opposed to
secession, and we expect she had better
stand by Uie decision she made in 18G1, and
not secede. If she does it may not be im
probable that we “rebels” will have to
whip her back into the Union, and recon
struct her. She belongs to Columbia and
must stay there, even if she does not get
any of the offices.

IM. Charles 11. Oliuatrail.
The Savannah correspondent of the
“Irish American" of Now York, In Its Is
sue of the 11th Instant, uses the following
well merited remarks in reference to the
above association:
The gentleman who visited my family
on seeing uiy two children dead—shed
tears, and showd a sympathy far more
tender than many of my own country
men would show; with a heart as gentle
as a woman’s, yet as bravo as a Bayard;
a man of strict, unbending recitude, In
whom justice, promptness, Integrity and
honor are combined, such was our dally
visitor, Col. Charles H. Olmstead:
Col. Olmstead was most favorably men
tioned by the Georgia press for Governor
of Georgia. He Is beyond doubt one of the
most dlstinguishedjinen who ever drew a
blade in defense of his State, and In place
exactly what the correspondent above
quoted, describes him.
Georgians will oil hall the day when
Col. Olmstead permits his name to go be
fore the people as a candidate for Gover
nor, for at once wo would have ability,
dignity, chivalry and Christianity com
bined In the Gubernatorial chair. We
hope the day Is not far distant when
Osorgluns may claim his services. A
number of his old soldiers here remember
him with pride as the gallant leader of
the Ist Savannah volunteer regiment.
For Clerk ot the House.
Mr. Eugene |P. S]>eer, of the Griffin
News, Is a candidate for Clerk of the
House of Representatives, and the House
will do well to elect him to fill the posi
tion. He is fully competent and well
qualified,'and it would be much pleasure
to see him elected. The LaGrange Re
porter in speaking of him says: “There
are two excellent reasons why we desire
to see Mr. Speer elected, and why he
should bo elected. One of these is that
he is perfectly acquainted with the duties
of the office, and is
well qualified to fill it. During the last
Legislature he was journalizing cleik of
tho House, and occupied a similar posi
tion, we believe,; In one or two former
Legislatures. If he is elected the duties
ol tho office will be performed in every
respect as they should be, as he is both a
competent andjaccurate business man.
“The other roason mentioned Jhat cotn
mends.hlm to.the good graces and the
suffrages of.the members of the House is,
that, if elected, ho is determined to havo
the work of hie department done with a
force greatly reduced from that of the
last Legislature. The goughing done by
the clerical department of the Legislature
has been shameful, and tho office of chief
clerk of either house should be given to
no man who would not promise to appoint
his subordinates with the view of getting
the work done with the smallest possible
force. This, we understand, Mr. Speer
has promised to do; and on this ground
and tho other one previously named, we
commend him to tho members elect of the
next House of Representatives.”
(jrajic (Gallicring In Turkey.
Correspondents at the seat of hostilities
in Servla and Turkey relieve their war
pictures with the brighter side of life in
the disturbed districts. The men have nil
gone to the wars, ami the women are at
home carrying on their domestic affairs,
apparently in the best possible spirits.
There ore no men to be seen, either old or
young, in the regions round.about the bat
tle Helds. They are all engaged actively
in the work of war. This is especially the
case in Turkey, which does not look as if
Turkey could be symbolized by a sick
man. Turkey appears to be in tho best of
health, and it is evident that all the male
strength of the country will be expended
in the struggle, if such a draft Is necessa
ry to carry through Turkey’s cause hi
Europo. The Turk is evidently not going
to tie driven out without a sufficient cause
of arms to dislodge him.
After witnessing carnage and devasta
tion, a London correspondent makes a
brilliant picture of tho female home guard
in Turkey. It was in tho midst of the
grape harvest. The Turkish women had
already harvested the wheat and barley
and wore gathering grapes. The country
was full ot pretty grape gatherers. Except
that no men were to be seen, there were
no evidences of the carnage hovering noar
and tho devastation almost within sight.
The Turkish damsel dons her attire, plaits
her hair with grand ribbons, fastens to
iior head dress pieces of gold if she be
rich, or copper if poor, and goes forth to
tho grape gathering. Every now and then
they break forth Into snatches of songs,
then peals ofilaughter follow, and all seem
careless of the fate of their fathers and
husbands, and brothers and lovers, in the
deadly strife. They are gathering grapes
for a festival of vietory or a funeral.—Sl.
Louis Republican.
Fattening Fowls In Two Weeks.
A writer in the London Field states that
poultry properly fed will acquire all the
fatness needed for marketing purposes In
a fortnight, or throe weeks at most. Their
diet should bo Indian, oat or barley meal,
scalded in lhtlk or water; tbe former is
the best, as it will expedite tbe fattening
process. They should be fed early in the
morning, at noon, and also in the evening
just before going to roost, and given a
plentiful supply of pure, fresh water, and
plenty of gravel, sliced cabbage or turnip
tops. If the fowls are required to be very
fat, some trimmings of fresh mutton suet
may bo chopped up and scalded with their
other feed, or they may be boiled in mlik
alone and poured to the meal This ren
ders the iiesh firmer than it otherwise
would be. When fit to kill, feeding must
be stopped for twelve hours or more, so
that the intestines may become compara
tively empty.

THE SALE OF HIS EFFECTS IV) PAY ANN
ELIZA’S ALIMONY.
Salt Lake Herald.)
Yesterday morning the special commis
sioner, Dr. A. K. Smith, sold the proper
ty of President B. Young, levied upon to
make Ann Eliza’s alimony j>endenle. life.
The salo took place In front of Mulloy’s
stable, Mr. Fred Carter acting as crier.
A large crowd gathered to witness it, but
their were few bidders, people evidently
being afraid of buying a law suit. Pre
vious to the sale, Mr. James Jack, acting
as agent for President Young, warned the
public against buying the property, as
the defondant in the divorce case (Young)
proposed to commence suit far tho recov
ery of.the articles seized and sold by the
commissioner. The properly was knock
ed down as follows: Large close corriago,
$375, to James A. Fitzgerald; Kimball car
riage, $125, Patrick Lannan; victorlne,
S2OO, 8. Bamberger; Studebaker carriage,
$52.50, J. M. Allen; lumber wagon, $25,8.
Ilatnberger; wagon, $27.50, J. E. Tyler;
wagon, $25, 8. Bamberger; span of mules,
$125, R. P. Lounsbery; Concord harness,
$25, R. P. Lounsbery; span of horses, $l3O,
J. M. Miller; cow, S2O, Mclntyre.
The sum obtained was sl,l7s—not over a
a fourth of the.actual value of the prop
erty.
Under the order to the special commis
sioner to sequester and sell property un
til alimony award Is made, we understand
he proposes to make further levy on de
fendant’s goods, and proceed to sell as in
this case.
The defendant’s agent, after the sale
yesterday, made a formal demand on the
purchasers for the release of the property,
and subsequently suits of replevin were
commenced in the district court for the
recovery of tho goods. Chief Justice
Schaffer instructed the clerk of the court
not to Issue summonses In the suits, but It
Is improbable that the Judge’s action was
the result of a misunderstanding, as he
would scarcely assume to prohibit a
party bringing suit In such a case. There
can be little doubt that tho summonses
will be Issued to-day, and the subsequent
disposition of the suits will be a matter
for consideration when they get before
his honor in the ordinary manner.
Thero is a diversity of opinion as to the
legality of the sale. Many excellent at
torneys say that It "won’t hold water;’’
that the commissioners can give no good
title to the property. However, as all
thatShas. been disposed of Is of a perisha
ble nature. Its value to defendant will be
lost unless he regains early possession of
It; henoo the sale may be Illegal, and
the result still prove disastrous to the
defendant. If this generation cannot un
tangle and straighten out the vexed Ann
Eliza question, probably tbe next may,
so the country, is.not left.without hope.
To the Public.
Having received our new stock, we
would respectfully invite our customers
and the public in general, to call and ex
amine the same. Every artiicle has been
selected with great care, as to style, and
will be found equal to any offered for sale
in New York, or elsewhere. The prices of
watches, jewolry and silver-ware has been
reduced considerable here lately, and as
we buy only for cash, we can offer our
goods at tho lowest profitable price.
Therefore if you want good goods at low
prices you will find what you want at

milE POLITICAL CAMPAIGN OF 1876, WHICH
I includes National. State and county elections,
and which will undoubtedly be the moat active
and hotly contested of any since the memorable
cauvass of 1860, is now fairly opeued. The Na
tional Democratic Party will this year make a
bold, vigorous, and doubtleaa auceessfuJ strug
gle for tho 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, lu Florida the campaign
promisee 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 citisen, who hae 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.
To this end he should subscribe to and assist
in circulating the Nnvaunah tlorning^fWN,
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, thoughtiul and conaistent,
while its news and local departments are marvels
of industry and completeness. Its department
of Georgia and Florida afiairs is not confined to a
mere barren summary ot events transpiring in
those States, but is enlivened by comment at
once apt, timely, and 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.
