AUGHJSTA. 03-A*
FEIDAY MORNING, 00T. 29,1869
“ MOB LAW IN GEORGIA.”
The New York Tribune , of the 28d inst.,
under the above heading, has this tele
gram :
“ Washington, October 22.—Gen. Kry
zanowskl, Supervisor of Georgia and
Florida, reports under date of October 12,
that Jackson and Washington counties, in
Florida, are under the control of an armed
mob, which has risen to prevent the execu
tion of the revenue laws. The leader of
this mob is one James P. Caker, who is
represented to be a wealthy and influential
man. He has threatened Assistant As
sessor Lowe, of Marianna, with personal
violence, and has challenged him to fight;
and the officer Writes to the Supervisor
that he can only canvass his district at the
hazard of his life. Assessor Wilson writes
corroborating his assistant’s statements.
The Collector of Customs at Jacksonville,
Florida, J. A. Dockery, writes to Super
visor Kryzanowßki that the State Tax Col
lector and his wife had been brutally mur
dered in Washington county, adjoining
Jackson county, since the 3d instant, and
that the Deputy Collectors and Assistant
Assessors of Internal Revenue are in immi
nent danger. The Supervisor has called
for troops.” %
Editorially the same paper comments as
follows:
“The Government will, of course,, lose
no time in dealing sternly with the ruffians
who have risen in Georgia against the execu
tion of the revenue laws. They have pre
faced their work by murder, and mean to
do worse, unless we teach them that all the
crimes of the decalogue are not to be com
mitted in the name of liberty. The assas
stns who killed seven men in Jackson coun
ty, and brutally murdered the State Tax
Collector and his wife in Washington coun
ty, can offer no plea whatever. Our laws
are not murder-provoking, nor are our au
thorities, and the time has surely come
when our Southern States should be pro
tected not so much from disloyalty as from
rampant villainy.”
The reader of these paragraphs must ob
serve that the telegraphic dispatch properly
locates the scene of disturbance in Florida ,
while the editor of the Tribune, with the
dispatch before his eyes as a text, substi
tutes Georgia for Florida, and deliberately
pens a lie which will reach farther than the
majority of such commodities. A French
man who had unwittingly declared a horse
to be sixteen feet high refused to retract
when his error was made apparent. Mr.
Greeley, we fear, will be equally stubborn
without the excuse of original misappre
hension. When our lynx-eyed and hollow
hearted enemies have to transcend the
border to find material for their slander
mill in a thoroughly reconstructed Radical
province, what a testimony they unwilling
ly give to the tranquility, the good order
and the peaceful disposition of Democratic
Georgia!
Butterfield. —“One who knew him,”
testifies that Butterfield was a bad boy
and never has been a good man. In early
life, in company with two other urchins,
he was indicted for arson. His father was
rich and secured a nolle pros; his compan
ions were poor and one of them was hung
and the other imprisoned for life. Fearful
of Judge Lynch, he was obliged to quit
his native place and is still ashamed to go
there. The District Attorney who con
nived at his escape was also obliged to
outlaw himself. Through the toadying
and serenading of politicians, he received a
Brigadier’s commission in the army and be
came a “ saviour of the Union.” He was
a nice fellow to be put on guard at the
Treasury, and, while Dan Sickles makes'
the United States a laughing stock in
Europe, Dan Butterfield makes the Ad
ministration a hissing and a scorn at home.
“Tie is one <xf tt* “ results of,the war,” a
true, disciple of modern “ pP&greS3 " and
an exemplar of “ all the morals ” of the
Radical party.
Grant and Frsjc.—Gen. Grant is re
ported to have said that Ftrk. .Tv., was ” a
man destitute of moral character.” Fisk
was very angry when he first heard this,
but finally attributed it to the invention of
Mr. Bennett, of the Herald. He further
says that Grant could not have said such
a thing, because he had frequently shared
of his (Fisk’s) hospitality; because he once
spent three hours at his (Fisk’s) table ; be
cause he accompanied him in a friendly
tour to Boston; because the President and
his family have repeatedly accepted favors
from him.
this is not sarcasm.it is a wonderful
case of artlessness in an old fox who knows
the world and knows, too, that eaten bread
is soon forgotten,especially by the high and
mighty who are trooly loil and ravenous
beyond precedent.
J ©hnsoniana. —Poor A. J. took his de
feat sorely. He grew especially bilious
when the Cooper faction passed his hotel
and gave “three groans for the nigger’s
Mopes.”
Edmund Cooper wept when he voted
against his old friend, Johnson, and for
his brother. “He gave to misery all he
had, a tear.” Crocodiles still repose on
the banks of the Tennessee.
Johnson has chances. Brownlow may go
to John Brown’s bosom. The lower house
of Congress is within possibility. The
Governorship is something. There a/e
more ways of “ making Rome howl ” than
via Washington.
S. I. P.—The Rev. Irenjsus Prime, who
was among the very first to bore Father
Htacinthe, is the same gentleman whose
slanderous reports caused the removal of
the American Consulate from Rome. Mr.
Prime declared that the Pope had com
pelled the American Protestants to wor
ship outside the walls of the Holy City.
This was a falsehood and entailed a Con
gressional insult; but Samuel
Prime has never redressed the wrong.
O Tempora! O Hioqins!— Captain Hig
gins protests against the seizure of the
Hornet, and intimates that it is a virtual
declaration of war against the “ Republic
of Cuba.” The launching of that protest
is equal to the recent launching of a Span
ish gunboat, armed with one twelve
pounder, and named the “ Terror of the
Seas.”
The Cardiff Statue, proves to be a
stupendous hoax. It was made by a crazy
Canadian. It is not singular that a bogus
petrified giant should come from Western
New York, the home of humbugs. There
Joe Smith dug up his miraculous tablets
and there John Brown was a dirty] little
baby prior to “ marching on.”
Belknap.— General Grant ate hash with
Belknap when both were boys together.
Belknap, Sr., ran the hash-mill. Belk
nap captured his brother-in-law during the
war. He is six feet high and has been
twice married. Early recollections on the
part of the President settled his hash in a
fortunate way.
Badly Sold.-A Fifth Avenue belle re
cently married a man who pretended to be
Lord Hubert Ainsley. He is discovered
to beau ex-valet and a notorious London
blackleg, named Radford. Old papa
Shoddy and old mamma Petrolia, who
threw their girl at him when he seemed a
lord, have discarded her now that she is
the wife of a scamp.
Quite a Calamity.— The New York
Evening Poet, a trooly loil sheet, is mad
with Sickles and declares that he has
made the United States a “ laughing stock
for all Europe.* Dan iB a representative
man of the American Beersheba, and Eu
ropeans, finding out the truth, have dis
covered that from Dan to Beersheba there
|s nothing but barrenness.
A Religious Gumbo.— On Sunday morn
ing last, Father Hyacinth* attended early
mass; afterward he attended a mass-meet
ing at Beecher’s place of amusement,
where the congregation, despite of H. W.
B.’s frantic attempts to preserve order, rose
en masse and petted the unfrocked friar to
his heart’s content. At the end of this
performance, he dined with Mrs. Stowe,
who will no doubt have some spicy revela
tions about him after his death. The Ecu
menical Council, appealed to by Father
Hyacinths, is the spasmodic and vulgar
applause of the fashionable rabble.
Aqasstz. —The first words of Professor
Agassiz in his opening lecture of the
Harvard course were:
“ I do not wish any one to come to my
lectures who believes the Book of Genesis
as given in the Bible.”
The Book of Genesis as given in Charles
Sumner’s speeches will answer instead.
Judge J. W. Johnston. —The new Vir
ginia Senator is a Roman Catholic. The
Bristol Hews says “by his election Vir
ginia sends to the Senate Chamber the
purest man that has graced its halls for
-half a century.” What a curiosity he will
be; and how out of place!
Letter from Rome.
Rome, Ga., October 26,1869.
Editor Constitutionalist:
I beg the use of your columns to say a
few words concerning this charming little
city, situated at the head of the Coosa, and
surrounded almost by its tributaries, the
Etowah and Oostananla rivers, it might
easily be termed the city of the horse shoe.
In a “ vale shat in by Alpine hills,” it is
not, however, cat off entirely from the
“ rude world.” Southward the Coosa is
navigabla to Greensport, Ala., hundred
and seventy-five miles by water. The Sel
ma Railroad is making rapid strides to
ward Dalton, and the Rome and Kingston
Railway affords an exit for its commerce.
From the summit of Myrtle Grove Ceme
tery, on the “ ramparts ” of Fort Jackson,
Rome and its surroundings present a scene
upon which the most artistic eye might
delight to dwell.
Looking north and westward from the
heights of Fort Jackson, the valley of the
Oostanaula —almost as beautiful as that
of the Narchoochie —spreads itself before
you ; through the trees upon its banks is
seen the residence of the late John Ridge,
the “ friendly ” chief of the Cherokees, and
beyond the stream, and to the left, the
ruins of the home of John Ross, the noted
chief of the same “ nation.”
The landscape is dotted here and there
with beautifnl residences, one of which, I
was told, was once the home of that ac
complished gentleman, Hon. H. V. M.
Miller.
Westward we observe a mountain, known
to the aboriginees by the euphonic name of
“Horse Leg” Mountain, but which has
been changed by the polite and enterprising
Doctor Berckmans to the more classic
“ Montalto.” The doctor here has a very
comfortable rustic home, and has sur
rounded himself with orchards, vineyards
and flowers.
To the southward the head of Vann’s
Valiev is just visible. DeSoto, Hillsboro
and Forrestville are the suburban villages.
The first was named in honor of Hernando
DeSoto, the Spanish cavalier, who is said
to have rested here from his travels, ere he
made his final march to the great Missis
sippi. The last is called after the illustri
ous cavalry leader of the Western army,
and one of the finest soldiers America ever
produced.
Rome, before the war, was Lilliputian in
dimensions, but is now a growing, enter
prising city of six thousand inhabitants.
The principal streets are Broad and How
ard. The former extends from the Etowah
to Torresville, is very wide, with its gas
lamDS and shade trees in its centre. You
are reminded of Greene street, of your beau
tiful city. Howard street is the fashionable
promenade, and contains some handsome
residences.
Rome has four churches for the whites
and two for the blacks, two steam flour
mills, one rolling mill (just being placed in
operation), one foundry, one lumber and
furniture mill, a female college, a large
male academy, three newspapers, two steam
fire engines, plenty of pretty girls, accom
modating and polite citizens. I shall take
an inventory of this city before my next.
The fair takes place during the coming
week. Eight or ten thousand visitors arW
expected. The “grounds” and the'im
provements thereon are highly creditable
The Indian hath passed away. Negro
slavery exists no more, and under the new
regime,strange as it may seem, this county
is more prosperous than ever. The soil is
exceedingly fertile, and almost every thing
except the tropical fruits can be grown
here. The proper enterprise and energy
will surely make this the garden spot of the
South.
The engineers surveying the Rome and
Decatur Railroad have reached the top of
Sand Mountain, and hope to complete the
route through to Decatur by the Ist of De
cember.
Among all the citizens of Rome I find
Augusta and Northeastern Georgia well
represented. More anon.

Railroad Meeting at Clarkesville.
A large number of the citizens of Haber
sham county assembled in the Court House
to-day, and were organized into a body by
the election of Dr. James P. Phillips as
Chairman, and Robert C. McMillan as
Secretary. «
The object of the meeting was explained
by C. H. Sutton, Esq., to be that the people
might give expression to their sense in
reference to donating to the Northeastern
Railroad Company the right of way through
the county. A communication was read
by him from the committee appointed by
the Town Council of Athens, requesting,
that to this end, the citizens of this county
be convened at an early day.
A. S- Erwin, Esq., of Athens, being pres
ent, was requested to address the meeting;
in response he stated that the citizens of
Athens were alive to their interests in this
regard, and that all things indicate the
immediate prosecution of the work when
ever operations on the Blue Ridge Road
shall have been commenced.
Resolutions were then submitted by
C. H. Sutton, Esq., who, also, in connec
tion therewith, forcibly presented the high
interest which our people have in the con
struction of the Northeastern Road.
He was followed by J. Van Buren, Esq.,
who desired that our people be cautious
against so committing themselves as to re
strict them in the exercise of a like
liberality toward the Air Line Road, and
to any and all railroad enterprises looking
to the development of the material re
sources of Northeast Georgia.
Some amendments to the resolutions
were proposed and accepted, and as amend
ed and finally adopted, are as follows:
Resolved , That we approve of the propo
sition to build a railroad from Athens to
Rabun Gap, ahd that we will aid the same
by subscriptions of stock and labor to the
utmost of our ability.
Resolved, Tnat it is the senseof this meet
ing that land-owners on the route of the
proposed Air Line Railroad, and on the
route of the Northeastern Railroad through
Habersham county, should donate to the
companies building them the right of way
for said roads.
Resolved , That the Chair appoint a com
mittee of three persons who shall be a Com
mittee of Correspondence on the subject of
the proposed railroads, to correspond with
the committee appointed by the meeting
in Athens, on the 2d inst., and with the
committee appointed by the Town Council
of Athens, and with any other body or
committee that may be necessary, and that
they procure signatures to the pledge of
the right of way.
Resolved, That our Senator and Repre
sentative be instructed to favor an increase
of State aid to the Air Line Railroad so as
to make the aid afforded said road fifteen
thousand dollars per mile; and also to
grant aid to the Northeastern Road to the
same amount.
A written pledge to donate the right of
way in compliance with the resolution to
that effect, was presented to, and signed by
a number of the land owners of the county,
and the same was left at the office of the
Clerk of the Superior Court for other sig
natures.
The Committee of Correspondence ap
pointed by the Chairman are, Messrs. C. H.
Sutton, J. Van Buren and W. S. Erwin;
on motion, the name of Dr. J. P. Phillips,
was added.
CoL J. B. Estes, Garnett McMillan, Esq.,
an £ Pi' eo - Phillips, each, on" being
called for, addressed the meeting at length,
urging the cordial co-operation of our citi
zens In the projected enterprise.
On motion, it was .

that they be published. request
The meeting then adjourned without a
day. Jas. P. Phillips.
