WEDNESDAY .JUDY 19, 1876.
THE OLDEX TIME,
laumibi Reties of Ike Put.
A gentleman of this city has in hia
possession four almanacs, dated respec
tively 1790, 1795, 1796 and 1798. They
are in an excellent state of preservation.
In that for 17§0 we find that the appro
priations for the servioe of the United
Stated, for 1798, were as follows :
For defraying the expenses of the
civil list under the late and present gov
ernment, $216,000; for defraying the
expenses of the War Department, $187,-
000 ; for discharging the warrants issued
by the late Board of Treasury, remain
ing unsatisfied, $190,000; pensions to
invalids, $96,000. Total, $639,000.
The almanac for 1795 is interleaved.
On one of the pages we find the follow
ing : “This day (June 2nd) the election
for officers of the artillery company took
place, when the following were elected:
David Beid, Captain.
Wn. Kennedy, First Lieutenant.
Joseph Ware, Second Lieutenant.
June 18. —Mr. Henry Sterman was
buried (he being a member of the ar
tillery company) with the honors of
war.
November 2.—The St. Andrews men
drilled together.
On Snnday, January 16, 1796, the
river rose to an alHrming height. In a
few hours the site of the town was gen
erally under water, and except
ing a few houses which stand on
the highest situations, the rest
were completely surrounded with the
water, which found its way over the
lowest parts of the bank of the river
and spread itself through the whole
town and common. A great part of the
bridge was swept away early Saturday
morning, and the remainder went in the
course of the day. The greater part of
the npper warehouse was carried away
and a considerable proportion of the to
bacco floated off. Many cattle have been
drowned. Boats of considerable burden
plied the streets. A remarkable escape
was effected by a man who was carried
down the river on a raft. He watched
his opportunity of throwing himself on
the bridge as the raft approached, the
shock of which was so great when it
struck, the greatest part of the bridge
being gone a oojsiderable time before,
what remained gave way, but not so
suddenly as to involve in its ruin the
active raftsman, who cleared himself
with successful speed and an astonish
ing presence of mind from the dreadful
crash of the last fragment of this once
great and useful communication between
Georgia and South Carolina.
April 20 -This day, at about 7 o’clock
in the morning, the stage started for
Savannah. It is the first stage that has
begun, in this State, to run.
July 4, 1798—The artillery company
fired sixteen guns at daybreak and six
teen at 12 o’clook. They dined together
at McLaws’ at 3 o’clock, and the follow
ing gentlemen did them the hopor to
partake of their dinner : Major-General
Twiggs, Brigadier-General T. Glascock,
Lieuteuant-Colonel R. Watkins, Major
Jas. Fox, Judges Carens and Few, and
the six Commissioners for the Georgia
College.
A LIVELY CAN VOW.
Editors Chronicle and Sentinel:
Atlanta, July 14. —For over twenty
years I have been in public life, yet 1
have never seen such frantic efforts
made to create a favorable current for a
candidate to be borne into office as are
now being put forth by the over-zealous
champions of Gen. A. H. C dquitt. It
may be his misfortune, but many of
these reckless schemers are too well
known to have any influence except in
remote parts of the State.
Someone has said that “figures will
not lie,” but that was before the "Col
quitt Column” was established. Gen.
Toombs very truly declares that “figures
tvi/l lie if they are put down wrong.”
Let us see how this can be tested. The
Constitution of to-day heads the column
of returns thus : “How the counties
have instructed their delegates,” and
then puts Chatham county down six
delegates for Colquitt. Now is it not a
fact that Chatham couuty refused to
send "instructed" delegates? Oh, shamel
where is thy blush.
One would suppose, reading only the
Colquitt organs and telegrams, that
there was an awful conspiracy abroad to
rob the people of the State of a free ex
pression of opinion. Not a single county
iias elected other than Colquitt delegates
without thecharge of fraudjCombination,
deception, trampling of the people’s
rights under foot, &0., &e., being made.
Why is it, I ask, that all this hue and
cry is made, aud returns distorted and
falsely used by Colquitt men? There
can be but one purpose, and that is to
defeat the will of the people by such
misrepresentations and the creation of
imaginary enthusiasm. When the Con
vention meets on the 2d of August that
columu of figures will be somewhat de
molished, and the will of the people will
then find expression in a truthful and
patriotic manner.

THE WESTERN WAR.
The Trouble* With Sillies Bull null tlie
SI ux.
Chetnne, July 13.—Two ranches, 50
miles north, were raided and twenty
two horses Btolon. A large number of
ludiauA are camped at the head waters
of the d'smal, 40 miles north of Bird
wood.
Chicago, July 13.—Specials from
Sioux City say the Indians there from
the scene of Custer’s fight give barbar
ous accounts of the treatment of the
dead. An Indian named Ram-in-the-
Face out ont Custer’s heart, put it on a
pole and had a grand war dance around
it. The Indians are jubilant and boast
ful and hope to make better terms on
account of their success.
Omaha, July 13.—A dispatch from
Fort Fettermau last night says there is
not a word of Gen. Crook’s fight with
the Indians, and his defeat. All sorts
of rumors are afloat, which an contra
dicted by the officers, and nothing has
been heard from Gen. Crook for the
past ten days. A courier is expected
daily.
Washington, July 13 —Recent dis
patches from Red Cloud and Spotted
Tail agencies report the state of affairs
there very uncertain, owiug to tli* news
of Custer’s defeat. The luterior De
partment is issuing nothing but corn
and flour, having failed ou beef entire
ly, Scouting parties have been with
drawn from the road between the agency
and the bridge on the Sydney
route. There is still oue company at
the bridge'. The commanding officer at
Robinson thinks the* necessities of the
case demand a company at the post. It
is not probable that the Indians will
make trouble at the agencies, as that is
their only city of refuge in case they are
whipped.

A Reply lo the Report of the llrrenesboro
Case.
Gruknesboko, Ga., July 14th, 1576.
Editors Chronicle and Sentinel :
A communication appeared in your is
sue of the 11th instant, over the signi
ture “F, ’ headed, " tried as by Fire—
A full history of a clerical scandal," in
relation to Rev. C. H. Strickland, which
does injustice to some couoerued, in
several particulars. Your correspon
dent says that after the young min was
turned out of the church hie mother im
mediately put iu circulation slauderous
reports affecting the Rev. C. H. Strick
land. This is untrue. She never at any
time whatever “put iu circulation’ any
report whatever affecting said indi
vidual. and at the time mentioned mere
ly discussed some rum >rs and reports
damaging, etc., as she and others of the
community had doue for the past three
years. These rumors aud reports are
not uew; many of them have been circu
lating for several years. She positively
denies that she originated a single one.
They were in circulation when ahe heard
them—they are still in circulation, aud
whether they are true or false, she does
not know, nor has that question ever
been investigated, that she is aware of.
True, she was called on by the commit
tee to substantiate these reports. She
declined to make any such attempt, be
cause she did not originate them, nor
had ever even said that she believed
them.
Yonr correspondent says the church
committee reported that “she denied
knowing anything; believed nothing and
had said nothing derogatory, etc.” She
etill denies that she knows anything of
the troth or falsity of the reports; but
eke never said she believed nothing. She
stated that she had never said that she
believed them. She never has said any
thing derogatory of his character, but
has for the last three years heard and
discussed rumors which were and are
yet in circulation. Aa to being cited to
appear before the church to substantiate
charges, it should be distinctly under
stood that ahe had never made any
changes. She told-the committee that
she would not go before the church in
public and discuss these reports, but
she wonld meet the committee alone for
that purpose. It is utterly antrae that
she ever slandered the Rev. G. H.
Strickland or “originated” any slander
ous reports abont him. As to the “le
gal remedy” it is rumored the party will
seek, he can commence as soon as he
pleases. E

[Special Telegram to Ihe Chronicle and Sentinel ]
Bomb, Ga., July 14. —Haywood Grant,
sentenced by the Superior Court to be
hang for arson in this town on the 14tb
of March, was hang here to-day.
The trap fell at 11:20, a. m. He died in
six miuntes. He warned every one to
lead a better life than he had. He asked
for Judge Underwood and spoke a few
words with him. Every thing passed off
quietly except that a gun accidently
went off, causing a general stampede, in
which a negro woman got a leg broken
Grant’s crimes are as follows : He was
born of free parentage in Kakirk, Ohio,
in 1841, but afterwards became a slave.
In 1865 he killed a deck band on the
steamer Potomac, with a billet of wood.
He was suspected and escaped. Several
months afterwards he killed a deck hand
on the steamer Bo.stonia, and threw him
overboard and also escaped punish
ment for this crime. He went on
the steamer Alaska, was caught stealing
and discharged. He killed an Irishman
in Memphis, robbed him of a hundred
and forty dollars and escaped punish

GEORGIA POLITICS.
The Field Growing Smaller—Hon. Thomas
Hardeman Declines.
Haoon, July 13, 1876.
Editors Telegraph and Messenger:
It is evident from the returns of
primary meetings in different counties
that I am not the choice of a majority of
the citizens of Georgia for Executive
honors. Recognizing this fact, though
other counties yet to act would add to
my list of supporters, it would not
change the result. It would, therefore,
be folly in me to continue looger in the
canvass, thereby injuring my friends and
creating, unnecessarily, farther division
in the Democratic party. Believing, as
I do, that the will of the majority should
govern, I cannot consent to remain
longer in an attitude of seeming opposi
tion to that will, relying upon a contin
gency that might happen under the ope
ration of the two-thirds rule, to thwart
it, and thereby place in position some
one who is not the choice of the
people. I oannot be a party to
any such arrangement, for it is against
my sense of justice and of right, and,
therefore, retire from the canvass, bow
ing submissively to the verdict of the
people. In so doing I would not inti
mate to those friends, who have been
selected in my interest, how they should
act in the premises, for I am well aware
that their intelligence and patriotism
will guide them in that line of conduct
which will result in good to the party
and benefit to the people. In retiring,
allow me to say to those counties who
have honored me as their choice, I mean
all that language will convey when I
say I heartily thank you for your gener
ous confidence. To the press I return
my grateful acknowledgements; to some
for their disinterested support, toothers
for the manly, courteous and kind op
position they have given me. True, a
very small number have by their per
sonal allusions aud uukiud insinuations
injured me, but in so doing they have
not elevated the character of their jour
nals or grown in the esteem of a
fair minded public. To those friends
who for months gave me encourag
ing assurances of confidence and
support, then abandoned me and joined
my opponents, I will only say I freely
forgive you, knowing, as I do” that hu
man nature cannot withstand the bland
ishments of position and the allurements
of office. To the Democratic party I
would speak one word, Let not envies
or jealousies enter your ranks and di
vide your forces. The contest we are
about to enter will require united efforts
to insure a victory. In the past. I have
labored zealously for harmony in our
ranks, knowing it was essential to suc
cess. For that harmony I would sacri
fice personal ambition to-day—prefer
ring party success to personal elevation
at the expense of that party. I shall
therefore not cease in that di
rection in the future, but, as a private
in the ranks, will still be found ever
willing to strike “with might and main”
for Democratic uuity and victory.
Respectfully,
Thos. Hardeman, Jb.
BARNWELL MATTERS.
Items of Interst from Blackville.
[From an Occasional Correspondent.]
Blackvill, July 13.—0f the four
negroes who escaped from Barnwell
jail a week ago, one of them, Wesley
Brooks, who was sentenced to be
hanged on to-morrow has been captured,
and returned to jail, and will no doubt
expiate his crime, unless he may be
permitted or succeeds in escaping again
before to-morrow morning. It appears
that Brooks and Wm. Bradley, the
other negro under sentence of death,
made their way down towards the Port
Royal Railroad and there, in Beldock,
attempted to break into a store, but
were frustrated in the attempt. Brooks
was captured and Bradley succeeded iu
escaping, with, it is supposed, a ball in
his back. Three white men brought
Brooks to Barnwell yesterday, and did
not know until they got within three
miles of the village that the prisoner
was under sentence of death.
The Hamburg trouble is much talked
of here and is greatly regretted. The
Radical party of the United States is
aloDe responsible for all the conflicts be
tween the races in the South since the
war. The late slaves would have been
fully satisfied with emancipation alone,
without having the ballot forced into
their hands. The latter was no doubt
intended to perpetuate radicalism—so
that the ballot in the negroes’ palm, has
done him no good nor has it loDg serv
ed his pretended friend, the Radical.
The heart of South Carolina is right—it
is for Union, fraternity, prosperity and
happiness—it is bent upon Union and
hopes that its prayers will be heard, in
voking the voice which spoke from
Sinai, a French historian has written that
after the terrific eruption of Vesuvius,
abont the first of this century, which
swept away villages, flocks, palaces and
vineyards, the olive trees which grew at
the base of the mountqjn, were found
amidst the wilderness of ashes, fresh,
green and vigorous. Thus after the vis
itation, which through the last eleven
years of infamous political rule—such
rule as has been termed an “evil and a
bitter thing,”—there are to-day signs in
the air which give us hope that we may
flourish like the olive trees, which Ve
suvius, even, could not destroy.
Crops are good, bad and indifferent,
just according to the attention given
them by work and fertilizers. So far
there is no suffering for want of rain.
After a series of vicissitudes in endeav
oring to establish a weekly newspaper
here, it appears that our new paper, the
News, is destined to succeed, because
it has an editor and maaager skilled and
trained in the newspaper business—with
the further accomplishment of beiDg a
scholar and a gentleman. Zozntcs.

THE COTTON CROP.
Report of the Agriealtnral Bureau—An En
couraging Exhibit.
Washington, July 15 The Depart
ment of Agriculture’s official report says :
Cotton in the first week of July is in a
condition of healthy growth, less for
ward than in July of last year; well cul
tivated and reasonably clear of grass.
Daring the last half of Jane its growth
was rapid, and blooms were freely re
ported in the more Southern belt. No
complaints of drougth are reee.ved; rains
have been freqnent, and in a large area
in excess of the requirements for the
highest condition. Iu many districts
npl&nd and sandy lands give better
promise at present than the bottoms in
Sonth Carolina and Florida, The storms
were especially severe between J uae 11 th
and 18th. In South Carolina there were
seven days of continnons rain. Iq com
parison with last year, North Carolina,
Georgia and lexas report higher con
dition, all the other States lower figures
than in July of 1875. The general aver
age in 1875 slightly exceeded 100; the
present average of condition is 97 6-10.
The unit of comparison being a normal
growth aud unimpaired vitality. In
comparison with the report of June the
States that have made improvements are
North Carolina, Florida, Alabama, Mis

Tennessee. Georgia hap held the high
condition of last month. South Carolina
has declined from 98 to 90, in conse

The American horse Mate is now 4th
in the betting for the Goodwood stakes,

about Mate seems to be dying out, al
though both he and Preakness are re
ported to be doing good work. Messrs,
fattersal advertise for sale in the second
week of October Lord Rosebury’s entire
stock of race horses, which are in train

mean the owner’s retirement from the

Local and Business Notices.
APPETITE A NECESSITY.
Appetite is a necessity. Without it,
sufficient food is not received into the
stomach either to nourish the system or
to give the stimulus to the bowels which
they require. Both these organs and
the liver become torpid in consequence,
and the blood grows poor in quality and
quantity. Improve the appetite, there
tore, and avoid such results. This is
most effectually done with Hostetteb’s
Stomach Bitters, a tonic appetizer and
alterative without a peer. It gives not
only an unwonted zest for food, but en
ables the stomach to digest and the
system to assimilate it. Flatulence,
heartburn, nausea, and every other con
comitant of indigestion, are removed by
it, as are also biliousness and constipa
tion. Each nerve and fibre of the body
is made to tingle with health by its use,
and it is the leading remedy for des
pondency. jyl6 d6wl
ON THE FOURTH.
fc
People are apt to overload their stom
ach by eating and drinking two much.
They get sick and feverish, the bowels
become constipated, the liver torpid,
and gerferal ill-health follows unless the
proper remedy is taken at once.
Those who have not tried '“Morrells
Hepatine” or the Liver, have no idea
how quickly these bad symptoms disap
pear by using this new discovery. There
is no need of enduring the torment
arising from disordered Liver, Stomach
and Kidneys. If you will go to Barrett &
Laud, Augusta, Ga., and get a bottle
of the “Hepatine,” which contains fifty
doses—you will be cured before fifty
doses are all taken. d&w
