Folly that May Lead to Evil.—Thought
less persons throughout I lie South, and those
of our contemporaries who are giving circula
tion to the dangerous joke, are doing much
good to Radicalism, we fear, by manufacturing
information concerning the Ku Klux Klan. It
is well in those times to avoid even the appear
ance of evil. We would feel no sympathy with
an organization such as this, if one actually
existed, and we fail to see the fun in furnishing
such admirable material for Radical lies. We
publish nothing about the silly people who are
either making lools ol themselves or preparing
evil for their country, and it would be wise for
all Southern papers to follow this example. It
is an expensive jest wliieli furnishes an enemy
with weapons. —Petersburg (Va.) Index.
Medical and Fatal Accident. —We re
gret, says the Richmond Whig , to learn of the
death of a former most estimable resident of
Richmond by one of those sudden accidents
which sometimes occur despite all care and
caution to prevent. A letter was received here.
Saturday by the family of the deceased, com
luunicating the tad intelligence tint Mrs.
Margaret Palmer, wife of Dr. Joseph Palmer,
of South Carolina, had been suddenly and
almost instantly killed a day or two previous.
The lady, accompanied by her husband and
little daughter (an only etiild,) was in a light
wagon, but heavily laden with baggage, en
routeior the train on the Northwestern Rail
road. They had just reached Bouneau’s Depot,
tint point of debarkation, when the Automotive
came thiiutlemig lip and so frightened the horse
that he became unmanageable and ran the
wagon against a gate post. This collision
threw Mrs. Palmer out, and the wagon wheel
passed over her neck, breaking it and causing
death in a tew minutes. Deceased was just
starting on a trip to Richmond, the place of
her nativity. She was the youngest daughter
of the late Wrn. 11. Allen, a well known tobac
co manufacturer ol Richmond. Hero she was
raised and educated, and we believe still retain
ed her connection with St. James’ Church.
Her sprightliness of mind, great amiability
and charming suavity of manner, had greatly
endeared her to a very large circle of friends.
The intelligence oi her sudden and painful
death, at the early age of twenty-eight, has pro
duced a feeling oi most profound sadness
among her friends in Richmond, and over
whelmed with grief an aged mother and three
sisters, .
Desperation Exemplified.— The law lirrn
of Brown & Pope have discovered another
mare’s nest. They have invented and promul
gated the charge that Judge Irwin was a Seques
tration Agent of the Confederate Government.
These are the facts in the ease : Judge Niehol,
the District Attorney, could rot, owing to some
professional engagements, attend the court in
North Georgia, whereupon the court requested
Judge Irwin to act in Niciiol’s absence—just as
Judge F.rshine recently appointed Col. Bleckley
to act in the absence ot District Attorney Gen
eral Fitch. Judge Irwin merely acted as an
attorney, within the ordinary scope of his pro
fession, and without taking any other oath than
that which all other attorneys are required to
take to practice in such courts. This is all
there is of it. it amounts to jn-t nothing, and
the charge made by Gov. Brown only shows
the desperate straits’ to which that unfortunate
politician has been reduced, it is unworthy ot
the merest tryo in polities.
\ Atlanta Intelligencer.
The New Orleans Bee says that the late
Judge Taney refused to receive greenbacks iu
payment ot his salary, on the ground that the
Constitution of the United States itself pro
vides, in section I, article ill., that “the
Judges, ho!it of the Supreme and Inferior
Courts, shall receive for their services a com
pensation which shall not be diminished dur
ing their continuance in office.” This, accord
ing to Judge Taney, inhibited the Treasurer
from paying him in anything else than gold or
silver coin, or its equivalent. Mr. Chase was
then Secretary ol the. Treasury, and ho refused to
pay the judge’s salary excepting in greenbacks.
But, adds the Bee, and upon information “from
a high and responsible source,” “it is a fact
that since Mr. Chase became Chief Justice of
the Supreme Court, the judges have been paid
their salaries in gold.” The public is interest
ed in knowing it this is so, and Chiet Justice
Chase can give the information.
Tue Work of an Incendiary— The pleas
ant country residence ot Or. J. A. Urquhart
was bnruect on Monday. The place is situated
in Russell county, lire miles trom Columbus.
The house had not been occupied since Octo
ber, nor was there any one living ou the lot.
When Mr. Velati and the man who stays on
the farm, reached ihe spot, attracted by the
flames, they found the house in a lull blaze. In
the corner of one room they discovered inflam
mable materials rolled up in a carpet. The
dwelling and furniture were totally destroyed.
The latched caught, but the flames were extin
guished. Dr. Urqnhart’s loss is about 555,000.
No insurance. The Arc was evidently the
work of an incendiary. There are many in the
country. —Columbus Sun, Isf.
A Story ol Theodore Hook is told by Corne

SSOO Reward.— Mayor Wilkins offers a re
ward oi live hundred dollars lor the apprehen
sion ol the murderers of G. W. Ashburn. Tins

A Midnight Tragedy,
MURDER OE GEO. W. ASHBURN.
Oar citizens were greatly startled, on Monday
night and yesterday morning, by the news that
George W. Ashburu had been killed in the
house iu which he was living, in the upper part
of Oglethorpe street, by a body ol men iu dis
guise. The killing occurred betweu twelve
and oue o’clock Monday night. The shots fired
were heard by a number of persons living in
the neighborhood ; the men who comm?tted
the deed were seen on the streets by one or
two persons; and the tragedy was witnessed
by several persons in and about the house.
Yet there seems to he no evidence clearly im
plicating any one in the affair. Ashburn was
shot in the head, thigh, and foot or ankle, aud
other shots, it is said, passed through his clothes,
lie must have been killed immediately. The
shots were evidently fired from pistols.
There were a variety of minors, and several
wild conjectures as to the character of the
parties who committed the. outrageous deed.
A coroner’s inquest was held yesterday at the
house of Hie murder, which, we understand,
was attended by the Mayor ol the city and the
Commandant of the post. AA'e understand
that, according to the statements of negroes in
the house, a party of masked or disguised men,
whose numbers they variously estimate trom
fifteen to thirty or forty, came to the house at
the hour above named and demanded admis
sion. This was refused, and they then
proceeded to break into the house, having
posted themselves at both doors. AVhen they
effected an entrance, Ashburu was standing
near his bed with a pistol in his hand. The
men immediately commenced shooting at him
with pistols, aud quickly dispatched him, Ash
bum, it is said, not firing. It was reported
yesterday that a negro woman living in the
house had stated that she recognized one of
the men, whose mask had fallen off, naming a
most respectable aud orderly young gentleman
of Columbus. But we learn that on examina
tion at the inquest she denied having made
such a statement, and said that she could not
identify the man. No one acquainted with the
young gentleman believed for a moment that
he was concerned in the affair. A negro man
testified that he saw one of the men in the alley
between (lie house of the tragedy and the next
one, without a mask, aud that he knew him.
As this charge may also be disproved, we will
not publish the name of the man impli
cated. The verdict ol the coroner’s jury was
that G. AV. Ashburn was murdered by parties
unknown.
There are, as we have said above, a variety of
conjectures as to the cause of this shocking
murder, and the character of the parlies by
whom it was committed. The deceased was a
fomenter of discord and a mau of strife, lie
was obnoxious to the while people of I his city,
not merely on account of his disorganizing po
litical course, which had been greatly instru
mental in creating and keeping alive bad feel
ings between the two races, mu because of his
social habits. The first presumption, there
fore, was that his political opponents had com
passed his death. But there are many, and it is
said oue or more white Radicals, who do not
believe this. That he was iu angry collision
with some of his own party is well understood,
and it was reported yesterday afternoon that
oue ot his political friends had been arrested
because ot threats he had been heard to utter
against Ashburn. The personal difficulties of
the deceased iu this city had been many, but it
cannot be credited that from any oue of these
sprang the animosity that [eat so tragic an end
to his stormy life.
Ashburu was considered the chief organizer
of the black Radical party ol Georgia. His
influence over the negroes was great, and there
was considerable excitement aSnong this class
of the population on account of ids bloody
death. AVe are glad to say, however, that we
heard of no violent demonstrations by any ol
them. AVe hope that, like good citizens, they
have come to the sensible conclusion to nrtait
patiently the investigations of the proper au
thorities, and to aid in upholding the laws, re
lying upon them to euforce justice without
partiality or favor.
Release of Tax Collector-McGowan.—
We are pleased to be able to anuounce to our
readers this morning, that Mr. James J. Mc-
Gowan, Tax Collector of Chatam county, after
a long confinement by the military, was yester
day released horn custody. Mr. McGowan
was released by order of Brigadier Genera!
Ruger, on giving bond in the heavy sum of
twenty thousand dollars, lor his appearance at
any time when lie may lie called ior.
Mr. McGowan’s irieuds were delighted to
see him at liberty again, and lie has, by his
noble course of conduct, won for bon self the
respect and esteem of every good citizen. He
lias endured imprisonment rather than sacii
fice principle, and we trust that the day may
soon come when lie may receive reward at the
iiands ol a grateful people. Major John Foley
and Judge D. A. O’Byrue signed the bond
upon which Mr. McGowan was released.
A sliorL time ago a board of officers which
investigated the causes which led to the riot in
New street, publicly branded a man who li\es
in this community as the author oi the mischief.
Thathimmn life waa not taken was no limit of his;
the intention remains I lie same. Yet, lie walks
free as the air we breathe. An incendiary negro,
a firebrand, a creator of dissension, aeouvioted
felon, is allowed daily to utter threats against
the peacable and orderly people of our city; yet
he is not checked in his course. The very
negroes who participated in that riot were re
leased on giving verbal promises to return
when called ior. But when an honorable, high
minded gentleman is to be released ; a man
respected and esteemed in the community; a
man who lias made every sacrifice for the sake
of his people is to be allowed once more to
breathe the free air of Heaven, he must give
bonds, forsooth, for his appearance. Ilis parole
is not enough! Consistency thou art a jewel!
