Lloyd announces himself as a c andidate for the office of Ooroner at the election In January. He has served the coenty faithfully in the past, and will continue to do so in the future. He has made a prompt and efficient officer, and we hope he will receive the support of the good people of Muscogee. tieorgr Y. Pond, Esq. In this issue Mr. Pond has a notice to the public, iu which he promises to give his personal attention to the office. Dur ing the last fourteen years Mr. Pond has lieen directly or indirectly connected with the Clerk’s office, and during all that time has given general satisfaction to the peo ple. If elected, he will give the same at tention to tho office, aud faithfully dis charge Its duties. He makes a most effi cient officer. Not the Mon. A few ilays ago in mentioning thearrest ot the Cunninghams for the murder of the express driver, Mack Lewis, we made -tatements concerning them, which wo iibtained from their triond Newton Bul lock. Mr. Cunningham called to see us yesterday, and denied having been drunk while in the city, or having associated with women of ill fame. He says Bullock misinformed us. We make the correction for him. b He Crazyr Yesterday we received a lon# eomumni- Uon, signed James Mallory, from the Ful ton county jail, begging us to assist in getting him a bearing. He claims he is not insane, and attributes some sordid motive for his imprisonment. We don't know Mr. Mallory, but think he might get a hear ing with the large numbers of unemploy ed young luwyers of Atlanta, ready to take a case. We suggest to the Constitution that he is a fit subject for an • interview.’* His communication contains many things of a sensational character. ■••■■■ '♦ tttver News. Last night at 10 o’clock the steamers Wyllyand Julia arrived at the wharf. They brought quite a number of passen gers, a miscellaneous freight, and about J 25 bales of cotton. The steamer Big Foot that was sunk on Sunday was raised, and will be at the wharr this morning. With some little repairs she will be all right, and ready for her regular trips. The Big Foot will bring about two hundred bales of cotton. The Julia went to her Assistance and lightened her loud, and took on more cot ton doming up. We are glad the dam ages to the Big Foot are not as great as was expected from reading the first ac count of her sinking. Opera House To-Night. To-night Harry Roblneou'a minstrols give an entertainment at the Opera House. The troupe is said to be the finest in the minstrelsy business, even better it was when here last year.

Itabbl Alexander Rosenspltz of Nash ville, Tennessee, will lecture this evening at 7 o’clock at Odd Fellows HalJ. His subject will be; “Chariots of Thoughts and Examples for F.raulation, or Through the Door oUOpportunlty to the Road of Success.” "The Huntsville, (Ala.,) Independent, ot the 16th of November, in giving a synop sis of the lecture delivered by the Rabbi at that place says: Itabbl Rosenspitz is en dowed with a lino intellect which has been highly cultivated by deep study and extenslvo travel, and his lecture was rich, classical, historical, eloquent and schol arly.” Governor Porter, of Tonnesse, says of him; "I am acquainted with tho Rev. Alexan der Rosenspitz, and with tho leading mem bers of his congregation, and most cheer fully Indorse him as .a gentleman of the highest character, and commend him to the peoplo of Tennessee and adjoining States. I can add that his mission Is a worthy one and commends itself to all of our best people.” We fully concur in the above: “James L. Gaines, Comptroller; (’has. N. Gibbs, Secretary of State; W. Morrow, Treasurer: Thomas A. Kerchavel, Mayor of Nashville.” The Chattanooga Commercial ot Nov. 26th says: “From a brief aud vory pleas ant conversation with the gentleman, we are satisfied that he is not only a scholar and an elegant talker, but what is better, a bold, vigorous, independent thinker. Thinkers will listen to him with interest, whether or not they agree with all the daring conclusions of Ills philosophy. While he thoroughly sympathize with, and profoundly admires the iconoclastic spirit In which Moses, Jesus, Luther and others struck down the false and outworn in systems which had preceded them and against which they protested, the Rabbi refuses to accept the dicta of any creed as the perfection of truth, and claims for tho human mind the right to exercise freely Its highest reasoning capacity. We ad vise all ministers of the city, all scholars, and all who believe In Intellectual liberty aud spiritual progress to attend the lec ture. They will be put to thinking. The ministers will discover too many pro blems which modern thought, in the fields of religious philosophy presents for their consideration, and, if possible, their solu tion.” The Chattanooga Times, in speaking of the appearance of tho learned gentleman of that city, says: “Having heard Rabbi Rosenspitz, we most c irdlally commend the occasion to our citizens, regardless of sectarian or political predilections, and promise them a rare treat in tils lecture.” The Rabbi says that his lecture this evening will prove of particular Interest to Masons, Odd Fellows. Knights of Pythias, Grangers, Good Templars and the like In general, and students, mer chants, mechanics aud artisans in par ticular In as much ns ho will describe the characters aud acchlevnionts of those truly “Odd Fellows of ancient, classic and modern times, who entering through the Door of Opportunity" climbed the high “Road to Success” and by their courage and perseverence and assiduity became the benefactors of humanity, and inscribed their namos in letters of indeli ble love, upon the heart of mankind. *An admittance foe of 2- r > cents will be charged. FItVTHKIDK. Two Negroes Eogage In Combat. ONE IS KIM,ED AND THE OTHER ES CAVES. Shootiug scrapes arc beginning to be monotonous, and come in such rapid suc cession that they lose the eagerness with which they are usually devoured. This time tho cry of murder is borne upon the western breeze, and comes float ing from Alabama. Twelve miles from here, near Ross’ store, two brothers en gaged in a dispute as to the ownership of some shot and powder. High words bi ought blows, and the blows brought a shot gun to the shoulder of George Mott, who shot and instantly killed his brother Bill. They were the sons of Bill Mott, sr„ a very respectable colored blacksmith living near tha store. The screams of tho women in the yard brought to the sceno several gentlemen who were passing the house on their way to this oity. ■ Tho killing occurred yesterday morning early. THE DECEASED was about nineteen years of age and bore a good reputation. The slayer was a little older, and was considered a mean and bad negro. Soon as he recognized what he had done and began to count up the con sequences, bo ESCAPED, and has not since been seen or beard of. It is not Improbable that he is now in the city, hiding out from the vengeance to come. The old man, father of these boys, used to belong to our fellow-eiizen, Col. R. L. Mott.

Tlie steamer Dig Foot advertised to loavo for Salt river this morning, was de tained owing to the non-appearance of her surgeon.

In a day or two the gang way plank will be hauled in by the capstand winder, and the general round about will hollow all “aboard boys for Salt river,” and throwing to Urn breeze tho flag inscribed “our tlmo next,” will sail safely Into “fly up the creek” harbor. Tlie City AltorueyKliip. Touching tho election of city attorney as reported in our last issue, we desire to explain in answer to queries upon tho sub ject, as to why the firm of Hatcher A Goetchius got only one vote and 8. B. Hatcher, a member of that firm, was elec ted by a majority. Tho firm name was put in nomination by Alderman Nuckolls, wheroupon Aider man Coleman raised the objection as to whether er not a firm could be elected to the office. Tho objection was sustained, and Mr. Nuckolls then withdrew the nom ination and substituted tho name of S. B. Hatcher, as representative of the llrm, and tho majority vote cast for him was virtually for the firm. Injustice to Mr. Goetchius wc make this explanation. Hr. J. C. Ayer Cherry I‘ccternl.

PlmiiU anil WliUkr;. lu the last number of the Advocate, Dr. Haygixxl thus treats the habit of drunken men carrying pistols. Let nil our readers ■peruse It twice. “On Sunday night. November 5, in At lanta two young men were going to church. On the sidewalk they met anoth er young inau. Ho was armed,,and in liquor. Ho fancied that somebody had y(Tended him. He met those young men while the lit was on hiiu. A few incohe rent words followed, and ho llred right into the breast of one, ami at the other as ho fled. Tho wounded man dragged him self to Ills home near by—his mother inet, helped him into the house, and In a few minutes ho was dead. The young man who did the shooting went reeling on his way. In an hour the Sheriff cat riod him to jail. There was no grudge—no hatred to explain the shooting. Just this, he was in liquor, and armed. He would have fired into any man ho met at that mo ment. It might have been any other man in Atlanta with as good cause. This case comes home to us. Tlie fattier of the boy who Is in jail Is our per sonal friend—a worthy and honored citi zen. May God help him iu his groat trial! Alas, the mother of the dead boy! It were hard to tell which has the heavier And this sort of tragedy may be en acted any where. It is. in its main feat ures, not uncommon. Something like it occurs every day in tills Christian Repub lic. We look for reports of such things in every morning's papier. They no longer surprise us. And, what is worse— unless we know tho parties—such things no longer shock us. Soldiers in time of war, get used to the sight of dead men. We all, in time of peace, are getting used to homicides and murders. We take such things as a matter of course. So much the worse for us. When some drunkard’s pistol sends a ball Into one of us, or Into one of our sons, we look at it as a very serious thing—not to be considered as a sort of matter-of course accident. Is this thing to go on forever? One thing Is certain; it is going on now, and at a fearful rate. And a long time it has been going on. It has come to this, no man Is safe whi*n a drunkard is loose—for nearly all drunkards go armed. When a drunkard Is on the streets we should give tho alarm, as the Hindoo villagers do when a hungry tiger Btarts on his rounds— “ The man-eater Is abroad to-night.” Then wo could at least be on our guard. We talk and write about live Issues. This is one—drunk men with pistols in their pockets. We talk of reform—reform is needed here. We should take hold of tills question with both hands. Let the press speak; let the pulpit 6peak, Thore is need of a whole broadside of Sinatic thunder—well directed and steadily kept up. •here has been sinful apathy and si lence. The blood of dead men, shot down like dogs In tho street, cries from the earth to heaven. Who taught the wretched boy that lies in the Fulton jail to drink whiskey ? Who made him a drunkard ? Who sold him the poison that crazed him on Sunday night ? Who made It? Who makes tho accursed traffic semi-respectable ? And a great nation—witii the best gov ernment the world ever saw—licenses this trade arid raises money thereby to carry itself on in the interests of civilization! And cities, towns and villages imitate the example, and collect what thoy-can In license taxes! What about the morality of the pistol trade in time of peace ? Pistols aro sold, for the most part, to persons who do not need them, and who should not be trusted with them—who aro liable to get drunk and shoot the first man they meet when tho fit is on thorn. Have wo laws against tho carrying of concealod weapons? Then let them be enforced. And lot the silly, cowardly practico bo frowned down by all good people. ('■■rap fur Cash.
