I.ITTEB FROM ALBANY.
Albany, Ga., Dec. 18,1876.
K<HUa-m IHmtt: Dear Sirs—l have just
completed a trip all alonß the line of the
Southwestern Ball road to this city, and
ttnd the towns In prosperous condition.
At MarshaliviUo business seemed to be
•dive and the merchants all busy. Here
I found a former citizen of Columbus, Mr.
Marshall Hatcher, dotnß business on a
large scale. A t Montezuma things looked
lively and trade brisk. Cotton coming In
freely and the farmers spending their
money. Messrs. Lewis A Son do the
banking business of the place, and appear
to have ample oapltal to accommodate
the trade. Oglethorpe le tho next town.
Before tho war It was a flourishing little
place, arid Is a good trading point now.
Amerlcus comes next This is a city, full
of business, cotton and people. It Is the
largest town along the line of the road
and has enjoyed a large trade from Sump
ter, Dooley and Terrell counties. But
Hawkinsvliie is fast taking the wind out
of her sails, offering goods choaperand
paying more for cotton than Amerlcus
can, because Amerlcus has to pay higher
rates of freight than Hawkinsvliie.
The good people of Amerlcus are about
to loosen the grip of the cunning old Coon
of the Central llallroad, by building a
road from there to some eligible point on
tho Macon A Brunswick llallroad, only
forty miles distant. Then, they say, they
will give a big barbecue and call them
selves free. The Central Is guilty of some
sharp practices; for Instance, they sell a
man a thousand-mile ticket, and when ho
rides only one or two miles the Conductor
punches out llvo miles—which, they say,
Is their Instructions. This does not seem
quite honest, to say tho least of It, but
such is the Imposition.
The next town, If it is a town, is Srniths
ville, a forsaken looking place. Hero I
met Mr. Robert Watt and family of the
Exchange Hotel at Montgomery, Ala., on
their way to Florida to spend the winter.
Mr. Watt’s health Is not very good, but
ho tells me it Is better than it has been-
I left Snilthsville for Albany, which I
found to be a nice little city on the banks
of the Flint. It. Is a live town, does a
large trade and has three Railroads,
Southwestern, Atlantic A Gulf and Al
bany A Brunswick. I met our Alderman
J. P. Manley, who spent the day here and
enjoyed It hugely, going to chnrch like
a good Christian. We went to hear Mr.
John Mcßride, Is a 'young Presbyterian
minister. He preached a fine sermon and
a young man of promise, blds|falrtobe an
able divine and do much good In his call
ing.
There are more evidences of substan
tial Improvement In Albany than In any
town of its size In Georgia. Here you see
a large number of line brick stores, well
stocked with seasonable goods. The
streets are In fine order and clean. The
Postmaster here Is a former citizen of
Columbus, the noted Dr. Chas. Arnold, of
petticoat fame, and his delivery clerk Is a
negro. The young men of the town often
send him hoop-skirts to remind him of
ths paraphernalia he donned during the
war to keep out of the army. The doctor
perhaps has some friends In Columbus
who will b glad to learn that ho Is well.
Yours truly,
Juno.
UKILUANT’ WKSVIXU.
Last night the Presbyterian Church
was tilled with friends, to witness the
marriage of Mr. Robert 0. Johnson, of
Baltimore, and Miss Kate Frazer, the
daughter of Mr. John M. Frazer, Treas
urer of the M. A G. Railroad. The cere
mony was performed by Rev. J. 11. Nall.
Mr. Johnson lived amoug us several
years previous to his rerdoval to Balti
more, and is esteemed for his many fine
qualities. The bride is one of the most
beautiful of many fair maidens of
Columbus; oertainly our city has had few
daughters possessed of a greater wealth
of beauty, and such numberless attrac
tions.
The prettiest young ladles of the city
were bridesmaids, aa<l a more lovely
eight is rarely ever seen than was the
array of beauty last night.
The attendants were:
Mr. Jas. Blanchard and Miss Goetchius.
Mr. Wm. Blanchard and Miss Flournoy.
Mr. W. D. Hill and Miss Swift.
Mr. A. A. Coleman and Miss Clayton.
Mr. F. 8. Grimes and Miss Beach.
Mr. Joe Hill and Miss Epping.
Mr. Carlton and Miss Redd.
Mr. Henry Epping and Miss Adams.
After the oeremony was concluded, the
bridal party and friends repaired to the
residence of the bride’s ount, Mrs. Leary,
and were there given an elegnnt recep
tion.
The hearty good wishes of all whose
privilege It was to know the bride, go
with her in her new home.

ACCIDENTALLY KILLED.
A Klin Man gall* la a Well and Break.
HU Keek.
COBOKSB’S INQJjItST.
Yesterday an old negro man named
Major Essies, about sixty-Qre years old,
and kflSbwn through the city as a wood
sawyer, fell into a well and broke his
neck. The well was on a lot In the lower
part of the city.
Coroner Lloyd summoned a jury com
posed of the following persons: R. W-
Ledslnger, W. L. Cash, John Dodd, F. X.
Donnelly, 8. A. Canters, A. W. Brantley,
J. E. Davis, John W. Norris, M. M. Hud
son, John Rees, J hn Durkin, and J. F.
Wise, who returned the following verdict:
"We, the jury, say that Major Essies
came to his death by accidentally falllDg
Into a well and breaking his neck.”
The verdict was supported by the fol
lowing
BVIDKNOIt
introduced before them:
Emma Montague, sworn, says: I saw
“Unde” Major sitting on the curb of the
well, and ho was making a cob-pipe. He
suddenly fell over into tho well. He had
first been In the garden before going to
the well.
Martha Montague, sworn: I was in my
room sewing, when my little girl came in
and said, “Uncle Major Is in the well.” I
said, “You arc such a story-teller I don’t
believe you." Before this I had told my
little girl to tell Uncle Major not. to go, as
Eliza would be here directly.
Wm. Greer, sworn, says: I was digging
a well, and Eliza came over and asked,
“Where Is Mr. Greer ? I want him to go
and get Unde Major out of the well." I
came over here with my rope, and drew
him out of the well. He was lying with
his head down in tha well, and was dead
when I found him.
The body of deceased was turned over
to his son.

The Kltuatlon.
Politicians may lay Impracticable
plans, speculators may set their little
snares, ohronlc grumblers may Increase
their volume of voice and causes of com
plaint, and tho corner loafer who, all the
summer through, held np the walls of
business houses, and has now rotired to
the bar room to toast his shins and dis
cuss politics, may despair of the Republic,
but there are some pregnant facts rela
ting to the situation which were never
dreamed of In their philosophy.
"Hard times,” Is tho cry. It Is argued
that the success of one political party Is
the salvation of tho country, while the
triumph of tho other brings ruin In Its
wake. Did It ever occur to these dream
ers that svory man is the architect of his
own fortune—that every citizen eventu
ally finds his natural level, and becomes
just what he deserves to be? If a citizen
won't work ho deserves nothing, but if he
tries faithfully and falls, ho Is entitled to
sympathy and that is all, unleeß his
friends choose to do something more.
While wo believe that the Inauguration
of Tllden—who has been fairly and hon
estly elected—would be the best possiblo
event for the country, we cannot see what
effect any especial form of government
could huvo upon tho groat mass of our
people, or why Tilden's Inauguration will
make everybody comfortable. We must
work for our living, and if wo do not work
we deserve nothing. No matter who Is
President, wo can till our lands, work our
machinery, and gather our harvests, as
well under one form of government ns
another. And we may console ourselves
with the reflection that no change Is pos
sible which would not be an Improvement
upon that of tho lost eight years. Let us,
then, take courage and look forward with
high hope for a Democratic Administra
tion after March 4,1877; but fully resolv
ing upon taking care of ourselves, even
should a fraudulent President l>e inaugu
rated.
Taking this view of matters, let every
body make arrangements to work next
year. If you can’t get easy situations, or
such as you think you are best suited for
follow the advice of the statesman who
called upon the youth of the land to “do
the square thing.”

cannot be built, and the gospel supported

both silly and demoralizing, let there be
no building and no preaching. Christ

CONVENTION ON Tllli ADOPTION OF
THE CONSTITUTION.
Do not the words of Patrick Henry In
the Virginia Convention oil the adoption
of the Constitution In 1788 have especial
significance ut this time ?
“Your President may easily become
king. Your Semite le so Imperfectly con
structed that your dearest rights may bo
sacrificed by what may boa sirall major
ity; and a very small minority may con
tinue forever unchangeably this govern
ment, although horribly defective. Where
are your chocks la this government?
Your strongholds will bq, in the hands of
your enemies. It is on the supposition
that your American government shall be
honest, that all tho good qualities of tho
Government are founded, but its perfect
and Imperfect construction puts It In
their power to perpetrate the worst of
mischiefs should they bo bad men. And,
sir, would not all the world blame
our distracted folly In the resting
onr rights upon the contingency of our
rulers being good or bad? Show rno that
age and country, whero the rights and
liberties of the people were placed on tho
chance of their rulers being good men,
without a consequent loss of liberty, I say
that tho loss of that dearest privilege has
ever followed, with absolute certainty
every supa mudo attempt. If your Amer
ican chief be a man of ambition and abili
ties, how easy will it be for him to render
himself absolute. The army is in his
hands, ami if lie be a man of address it
will be the subject of long meditation
with him to seize tho first auspicious
moment to accomplish his design. And
sir, will tho American spirit solely re
lieve you when this happens? I would
rather have a king, lords and commons,
than a government so complete with such
lnsupportably evils. If we make a king,
we may prescribe the rules by which he
shall rule his poople; but the President In
the field at the head of of his army can
proscribe the terms on which he shall
reign master, so far It will puzzle any
American even to get his neck from under
the galling yoke !”—From the. Rochester
Union and Advertiser.
Exploits of aLondiin Detective.
One of the most prominent of the Lon
don detectives is Druskowitz, a Dal
matian. Among the remarkable cases
in which he has been engaged was one
which happened about ten yeurs ago.—
In 1860 Vital Dourt, a Bordeaux wine
merchant, went to Paris and 1 nsured his
life for a sum equal to about $55,000.
Shortly afterwards he went to London in
order to escape the consequences of a
fraudulent bankruptcy. Some time la
ter his wife, clad in widow’s attire, pre
sented herself at the insurance office with
the necessary legal document attesting her
husband’s death. There was nothing sus
picious in the papers.—Nevertheless, ihe
company determined to make some in
quires before handing over the amount
of insurance, Druskowitz was called in,
and he ascertained that on December 1,
1806, someone named Bernadi had called
at the register’s office in Plaistow and
registered tlie name of Dourt, nud it
was entered as due to heart disease.
Druskowitz found out the under
taker who had conducted the fu
neral, and learned that every thing
had been properly order* and and paid for
and tnat the luneral had been performed
at Leytonstone. One thing seemed
strange. The coffin had not been sent to
any private house, but direct to the ceme
tery Further inquiry failed to discover
the name of any doctor attached to the
certificate of death. The next step was
to obtuiu an order for exhumation, and
on the coffin being opened there was
found, not the body of Vital Dourt, but u
block of lead. Further inquiry elicited
the fact that Dourt had been present at
bis own funeral, and had afterward gone
to America, whence he supplied liis wife
with the documents intended for the in
surance company.—Some time after
wards be returned to Europe, went to
Antwerp, bought a ship, sent her to sea
with a lot.of rubbish, and, having insured
her for a large sum, had her burned. Ar
rested and brought to trial, be was visi
ted by Druskowitz, who felt sure that this
was the man he had wanted. Dourt was
found guilty, and condemned to impris
onment, with hard laber; but the French
Government clained him under an extra
dition treaty, and he was tried on the
chragc of fraudulent bankruptcy, found
guilty and sentenced to penal servitudefor
a comparatively short period.
