Schools of the A. M. E. Church, and the Bap

number of gaily dressed and flower bedeck

JUaF“ Republicanism is ce •taiiily speread-.
ing in the “jfar West.” Ws have reeeivea
the first number of u new | aper —The Sher
man Patriot - published at Sheriman, Gray
son county, Texas, which indicates that there
real are live Republicans, even iu Texas. The
paper is a large and handsome one, and is
edited with ability by George. A. Cutler.—
One remarkable feature is observable in it:
it is well patronized by the merchants and
business men of the place, which shows that
the narrow prejudices prevailing in Georgia
have been overcome in Texas.
Wo are in receipt of the first num
ber of the Jefferson News and Planter, a
weekly paper published at Louisville, Ga.
It is. the size of the Union aud presents a
very fair appearance, but we regret to
know that its editorial columns are to be
presided over by a madman. In his salu
tatory occurs this paragraph:
“Believing the reeoutructiou act uncon
stitutional and usurpatory measures, wo
shall do all in our power to secure their re
peal, never acooptiug them as unquestion
able facts.”
Not only will ho he forced to yield at last,
hut with shame and disgrace for being a
traitor to his government.
Connubial Felicity. —Nothing tends to. more
connubial happiness than cheerful and healthy
infants and children; Mrs. Whitcomb’s Syrup is

Bigamy.—One day last week, the eminent
law firm of Weems & Cowles of Macon, re
ceived u dispatch from the firm of Ormsby
& Cos., lawyers of New York City, stating
that a Miss Anna B. Robbins of Va., was a
client of theirs, aud claimed to be the law
ful wife of Jno. R. Snead, having been mar
ried to him in Virginia, in 1861, and that
authenticated copies Ac., of the marriage
certificates, Ac.; were duly forwarded by
mail. On receipt of the telegram, Gen. S.
B. Myrick of Milledgeville, the uncle of a
sweet, charming lady, who Snead had lately
married there, was notified to come to Ma
oon, where he investigated the subject, and
being convinced that the charge was correct,
he had Snead arrested, and confined in the
jajil, whence he was taken to Baldwin coun
ty, for trial. We learn that he waived a
preliminary trial, and was held to bail in
the sum of $5,000. . i
Col. Snead is -agent in this city, of the
Armory Manufacturing Company, New
York, which Company has caused consider
able discussion, as to its
It is due to Gel. Snead to state that he
strongly asserts bis innocence of the heinous
charge made against him, Ac. We earn
estly hope for the sake of the lady, if for
nothing else, that he may clear his skirts.
jK®- Macon is certainly coming out, these
dull times, in rascality, if nothing else. We
have had suicides, infanticides, robberies
and attempts at robberies, bigamies, &c.
In the last week a John T. Snead, of New
York, and who pretended to be a capitalist,
but who really did not own the clothes he
had on, was arrested for bigamy, having re
cently married a niece of Gen. S. P. My
rick, of Milledgeville, while he had a wife
and phildren in New York. His duped and
deceived last wife had been led by him to
believe that he was a millionaire, and that
he waaon theevq of purchasing one of
three of the finest arid most cbstly residen
ces, in Macon, choice among which was Mr.
Johnson’s residence. He is in a fair way
now, however, to see what comes of build
ing such castles in the air.
Then comes the conspiracy to rob the
Express Company, by A. J. Conway and
his companions. It will be remembered
that he is the same man who was bound
over to the District Court for buying votes
at the late election. .
Last Saturday was enlivened by a set too
between Alderman Clay and some other par
ties for some imaginary grievance, in which
George Napier took a hand, and from all
accounts cursed oat the whole city govern
ment and defied its power to arrest him.
Such fellows should be taught the virtue of
law, and we hope, for the sake of the good
name ofj our city government, and the cour
age of our policemen, that such backing
down from duty will never occur again.
We bave alao a ramor to the effect that
there is a dispute between two gentiteinen
MQf the first respectability of our city, as to
which is the father of anew colored baby.
We are waiting for developments in this
imr Anew garter is heraled. It is a
|. heavy, round, elastic chain, much the style
of t]ie heavy gold chains upon which lock
ets are worn, and has a hook and eye upon
it The hook is pardonable, but the eye is
very reprehensible.— Ex.
Why reprehensible ? We can see 4 notbing
wrong with that eye:
A Chicago minister, is repeating the
story of Joseph and Potiphar’s wife, has
hazarded the opinion that not many boys
of 20 would have “taken the bold stand lie
took.” This would depend a good deal up
on the looks of Potiphar’s wife and the
shooting propensities of her brother or
husband.— Exchange.
We think the facts of the case do not
warrant the conclusion drawn, for we learn
that Joseph not only did not “take a bold
stand,” bnt that he made no stand at all, it
was a clean back down, on his part.
PRETTY STRONG.
The Democracy of lowa appears to be
red-hot. The Ottummway Democrat, has
the following: “Grant has not been stran
gled arid his worthless carcass thrown into
the Potomac! The Butlers still strut
around the capital with their bowels yet in
their abdomens ! The negro Congressmen
still ogle the wenches in the galleries aud
no daring white man lias taken a whip in
his hand and scourged them back to the
plantations! But the revolution is coming!
Let us have peace. ...

ANOTHER LIE NAILED.
The little, side-whiskered, middle-parted
hair, broad shouldered; wide-hipped, bow
legged, long footed, whiskey countenanced
misrepresentation, called Henry W. Ray
fnoml, in a late letter from Augusta to the
New York Times, says: “In but three coun
ties, (Warren, Columbia and Jefferson) do
we hear of any Ku-Kliix outrages.” We
brand the assertion so far as it concerns
this and the adjoining county—Columbia—
as a lie, and dare him or any of his Klan to
point to even a “disturbance of the peace”
in either of these counties. Democracy
rules in each, and where it rules, peace and
good order prevails. WaWenton Clipper.
Yes, it is the peace and good order of
death.
The Ring Doves —-Under the escort of
the Devoted Brothers, turned out in full
strength yesterday afternoon with banners
and music to celebrate the fifth anniversary
of their organization. At night they gave a
banquet at the colored Presbyterian church
which was largely attended and enjoyed by
all present. The Ring Doves, like the De
voted Brothers, is exclusively a charitable
association, free from political or sectarian
influences, and organized for the purpose
of assisting such of its members as may re
quire aid, in case of sickness or death. It
will always afford us pleasure to chronicle
the growth and advancement of such as
sociations in our midst.— Telegraph.
How about that “asthmatic fife”? We
are glad to see an improvement in the Tel
egraph. TWyears it has not been able to
speak of the negrpes without indulging t in
a slur at them.
A SUPREME COURT DECISION WHICH
MAY EMPTY THE U. 8. TREASURY.
The decision of the Supreme Court that
the salary of a State Judge is not taxable
is producing some anxiety in the Internal
Revenue Bureau. Tlyß probability is that
the opinion of the Attomery General will
be asked on the following points of the sub
ject.
First — Whether the construction of law by the
Cflfhrt applies to other State officers as well as to
the Judiciary. ,
Second— Does it apply to officers receiving their
salaries as fees directly from th* people ? And
Third— Whether the construction is retroactive
so as to require the refunding of all income taxa
tion collected in such cases. Y ’
The magnitude of the question is snch
as will produce very serious results if the (
Revenue Bureau is forced to refund the
large amounts so collected. It will cover
the cases of State banks, railroad and ca
nals, and their employees.
