All the railroad men in the city
who could get away from their work
attended the funeral of Mr. T. M.
Fleming, yesterday afternoon, and all
felt a keen bereavement over bis
death.
“He was a good conductor,” said
one, as the funeral procession moved
away from the Methodist church.

From him we gather the ^following:
John Johnson was drunk and quar-
elsom, arid had during the day had
threatened John Willard’s life. Wil
lard endeavored to evade him, but
Johnson followed him up, and abus
ing him all the time, .-ind finally hit

seized a pestle and dealt him a blow
on the head, which resulted in hiB
death yesterday afternoon.
Willard was regarded as a peace
able, quiet man, while Johnson was
quite to the contrary, and it is said
that he had to leave North Carolina

Both men worked for Boyle A Ever

The annul session of the New York

interesting papers reid was that of
Dr, John 8hrady, w.ho states thai
the first dissection in New York was

degree granted in America was that
to Robert Tucker, of New York, in
1820. Daring the yellow fever epi

The Atlanta Constitution says:
“Alluding to the fact that at the re
cent election in Georgia the demo
crata had little or no ppposition, the
republican organs declare that it is
the result of bulldozing and oppres
sion.
They say that the failure of the
republicans to nominate candidates
and support them is another evidence
that the negroes are not permitted
to exercise the privilege of voting;
and they draw forth the bloody shirt
and proceed to wave it most vigor
ously.
But toi what purpose? Governor
Bullock, who was a republican in
Georgia when it was dangerous to be
one, owing to the attitude of Thad
Stevens and his radical coadjutors,
has time and again announced in the
columns of some of the most promi
nent papers in the South that the
apathy of the negroes is duo to the
fact that they have lost confidence
in some of the men who used to lead
them, and to the further fact that
democratic home rule has been favor
able to their advancement and de
