CONSTITUTIONALIST. 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. R. Van Winkle, Jr. 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 . Secretary of this meet he mln,ltes of W proceed ings to the Athens papers, with the that they be published. request The meeting then adjourned without a day. Jas. P. Phillips.

It eliminates disease from the system by dissipating engorgements of the secretions, exciting the liver to healthy action and giving the pancreatic and bepatie juices their normal condition and healthy flow. It is a better preventive than cure, and if people could be prevailed upon to take it, in say half deses three times a day, during the chilly season, they would have perfect immunity from chills and all tho train of concomitant diseases; but who, except the very prudent, will take medicine before they are slek ?
