Coral and (Other (bossip. Tin* celebration of t.hc* Sabbath Schools of the A. M. E. Church, and the Bap tist Church was largely attended, and a number of gaily dressed and flower bedeck ed children were in the lints. The music was rendered by the Macon drum corps, and the Drum Major walked as if lie was seven feet high. The whol: proceeded to .Rose Hill and passed a very pleasant time indeed. 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 the great children’s.soothing remedy. 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. ... See advertisement of I)r. Butts Dispensary headed Book for “Hits Milliorf— MARRIAGE ! GUIDE—in another column. It should be read by all. ' 45-ly 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. jlpwial fjtotiwiS.
