Mr. Editor; We number among tlum
who earnestly desire to Ijie •ucccsitof
the Gonfodurnto monument. As none of
the plans for encouraging the good cans*■
liave succtftdcTto the desired extent, we
would mbit respectfully suggest to the
ladle* tin* two following: First—Take
the $704 14 now on hand and lay the Rose
of the monument. Second— After the base
! is laid let four (or perhaps two) of the
most influential lodic* of tin* Association
canvass the city for subscriptions for tho,
completion of the monument. If women;
the monument begun we will be more apt
lo cont ribute to its completion. The start
in any enterprise is half tho work. In so- 1
licking subscriptions let them lx* given j
conditionally. The ladies may first settle ,
upon tho amount desired and then inform ;
those whom they nsk fi r contribu
tions that unless the whole amount i
subscribed they will not lx* called upon. 1
As regards the amount to be settled upon
we suggest that the Association arrange
to add so much to the monument the first 1
year and solicit aid to that end.
Some may say this is a pie. l e-meal way :
of doing work, and it will lx* too annoying
to is* n inning to men every year for money
for the monument. In answer to this and
all other objections, we urge these reasons:,
First It will be impossible to raise the
requisite amount at the start.
Second— No man, woman or child who
desires the work to go on will refuse a
contribution once in the year for this noble
cause.
Third—lf those who now undertake tlx*
work g*t only one-third of it completed
even in tho three next throe years, tin* ris
ing generation, true to the example f the
fathers, will carry it on.
Lot the monument commence, and in five
years, at greatest, the cap stone may lx*
placed upon it. We have the examples of
others to prove our prediction.
In a sister cltyjof our Stab* stands a
beautiful monument to the noble Confede
rates. In 1870 the ladies of the Association
of that city put the funds then on hand in
! a granib* base ordered from the Atlanta
j Stone Works. During the next year they
were able to place upon it the first half
• of the shaft, and in 1873 the monument was
| finish**!.
The stranger, who now gazes upon its
! beauty and reads the names of the noble
I men who breathed their last in defense of
j liberty, does not know, nor stop to enquire
1 whether tills monument was built at once,
| or whether ten years were required In its
! erection.
Ah for the plan for raising the money,
i we have an example in our midst. Two or ;
• three years ago two of the ladies of one of
1 our churches went out voluntarily, and
I unauthorized by the church officers; and
; by an individual effort raised several thou
sand doilais for discharging a debt then
| hanging over the church. They secured
| the contributions on the condition that un-.
| loss the whole amount was realized the
contributors would never R* ask<*d for
what they promised. ,
We sincerely trust the ladies will think
■ on the plans herein proposed, and either
1 act u(xn them or upon others which may
be better. Oh, for some leader who may
push the work! There will in* opposition.
Already the ery is raised, “give this mon
ey to the widows and orphans." But, re
: member, it comes from those who have no i
; interest in the question. Not one dissent
ing voice will lx? heard from those whose
kiudred sleep upon the soil of tin* battle
ground of Southern liberty. We were
asked, not long ago, by one fresh from
| “Down East," if the Fourth of July was j
now much oliserved in the South.- The re-!
ply was, "No, sir;' we have a substitute,
viz: The Twenty-Sixth of April, the death- i
day, as the Fourth of July formerly was
the birthday, of our liberty. While we
celebrate this day, and stre w flowers on ,
the graves of dead heroes, let us erect
more lasting monuments to teach our chil
dren who it was that died in defence of
j liberty and right. The memory of the
I “Lost Cause” is fast passing from the ■
| minds of the present generation, and pa
rents and teachers do not trouble them- i
j selves to eornx*t the misstatement of farts !
jin most <>f our schixd histori'*s. What will
the children of ten years to come know of
the Confederate 'lead, if more lasting mon
uments are not given than the scattering
jof spring flowers? Let the work begin!
, Reinember that nothing of importance can |
I lx? done without opposition. In spite of ob
-1 joctions, let tho monument begin. Xo (bn- '

it iu>w appears Uiat the Di Murski U|x*ra
i Troupe, which we had hoped would visit !
i ‘>ur city, is going to slight its, after favor
ing several of our sister cities. The agent
I telegraphed to Mr. Springer, and told him
that he would bring his trou|>e here if he
j could get a guarantee that ids receipts in
J this city would be us much as $750. Mr.
Springer did not like to take so great a re
sponsibility on himself, and hence we will
be deprived of some fine tnusie. This
agent is entirely too avaricious. He wants
to make too much money, arid is evidently
forgetful of the scriptural injunction which
contains a warning against getting rich
hastily. We arc to have some more amus< -
j meats ix?foro the season closes, though
j they are very few and far between,
i On tie* 20th of this month the “Mirror <>f
j Ireland," a panorama of Erin’s green isle, j
will bo exhibited in this city. Of its mer- i
j its we are not prepared to speak. Cal
: Wagner, the inimitable negro minstrel.

Uxl in his line, und niuv pro[H>rly R* termed
a rare genius of rather a low order.
Fhe Jack and Gill Pantomine Combina-1

Went up tilt* hill.

and how seriously this well intended ae

anxious to see a lifelike illustration of the

the reputation of Rung the finest low come
dian in America, may come in the latter

PETER FINNLGAX.
He R l nst tor Mur.lcr.
Yftstqrila’ymorning, tho preliminary ox-'
,! fiminatlon of thu cae of Peter Finnegan, i
J chargwf witli tho murder of Charles If.
1 Wilding, was held at the Court House R*-
‘ foie Justices Phillips, Shivers and Me- j
i Cnhev. Solk*itor Liulc appearol for tin* l
j State aiuTThorntorn A Grime* for tiie de-!
i lenw. After eoiisulting with the prisoner \
; and his father, Mr. Thornton said tiiat he ;
would waive any examination.
| Solicitor Little said he knew of no law |
! for such a proceeding. On the contrary,!
i an abstract of the testimony is ordered to j
j be taken before some justix* or justices of
' the |K*aee in all eases of felony, and that j
!it shall be deliverod to the Clerk of the Su* |
; jxuior Court. Mi*. Thornton contend'* i !
tiiat bis waiver was admissible. All the
| Court could possibly do would he t< c*m- j
mit the prisoner to jail, Rx-ause there was j
reasonable grounds to suspect that h* was
1 guilty of murder. He admitted that there j
j was such grounds, and the prisoner was '
i willing to go to jail and await Ills trial by i
I a jury of his peers. No harm can be done j
:by committing the prisoner. It was legal :
to commit a prisoner for any crime of
: which he stands accused, If he waives |
J any preliminary examination.
Solicitor Little said he had no desire to I
j c*ontinue tiie case, or to deprive the pris- 1
i oner of any right. It might lx* illegal to
1 commit the prisoner without any ex- j
animation. The law requires it in section
4,743 of the code, and it is required for two I
! reasons. First, some of the witnesses i
might die lx?fore tho trial hv the Superior j
Court In this case, the law provides tiiat,
evidence given at the preliminary exam- j
ination may boused.
Secondly, if the prteoner is committed !
withoutany investigation, he may sue out
! a writ of habeas corpus, and demand why
: he is imprisoned. The witnesses for the j
Stab* may lx? scattered far and wide, and
1 no cause can R* shown for his confinement.
Tho Court decided that, it was nec**ssary i
; to hear sonic evidence fxfore the prisoner
i couhl be committed.
Accordingly the examinatimi of witn**s- :
w.*s was begun.
Elijah Allen, sworn I>il not known dc-
saw his Rxly day before yesb*r
day near McDaniel’s wagonyard: it was
I near the skh.*walk; saw it about 0 o'clock;
the Rxly was on its face. N< > kkJ>* lut my
' sister was there; it was a little after dav
light.
Dr. Pitts Firat siw tin* Rxlv in the
, street: did not examine it then; did exam
ine it before the Coroner's jury; c mnbxi
aßmt fourtwn wounds; there were three,
, either one of which would have txxm fatal,
! the others were flesh wounds; th<*se
wounds caused death: could not tell how
i long the wounds had Rvn indicted: the
body was not cold when I saw it; there
; wen? some wounds on the back; some,
> wounds were larger than others; could
' not say whether all were made by same
weapon or not; the game knife might have
made them aii; only one wound was found
jin the head; it was near the eye; one
wound was seen on his left hand.
Ci* l *s#*-examined Three wounds were
| found, cither of which would have been fa
tal. The witncfta here dos.*tibcd the p*si
; tion, direction, ami general nature n{ tie*
w* ajii'ls. l)o not think a person facing an
other could proKabiy liave made the
wounds in tie* side; it i- possible, how
ever.
Re-direct—The wounds in tie* back were
inward and downward.
Lewis Pryor, sworn—Knew d'*cxis*d:
saw him lasi aiive at bar-room on l>r<ud
stWet, Tuesday morning about 2o’clock;
he was drinking some. 1 ask<xl him to go
home; lu* seemed un willing. Finnegan
came in about this time; he and deceas'd
left together; in aßmt twenty minut4*a
Fin-negan icturntd alone. I ask***l him
what h* fuel done with Wilding, and
if he hud gone home. He said he did
not know whether he had gone home or
I not. He said that Wilding had cursed his
dead parent, and iuui said some hard
tilings aßmt his father, and that he had
shoved him and l**ft him. Finnegan ap
peared io be in a hurry. Wilding came to
the bur-room about 2 o'clock. Finnegan
said he was going to carry him lean'*.
They went out the door and turned to the
rigid . Finnegan had a pocket-knife in his
pocket.
This was about two
: o ehx k. It was s ua<* distant'? from the
, bar-rM>m to Wildiug’s house. Deccaft**l

S tiftx*n or twenty minutes when Finnegan

Early Hlaugditer, sworn About 2 o'clock
'Toes'lay morning, detxxisid came to my

Finnegan came back; drui’t know what

| Finnegan two or three times: did not pay
for drinks. Don't knowhow long Fiiin**-

< roe-exaiiim*'i_ Finnegan and Wilding

Sheriff I vey, worn Arrested defemhuit
, aixiit 0 o’cl'X'X Tuesday morning in Arm

‘ i‘*r awhile he asked why he was urrested.
I told him he was accused of the murder
lof Wilding; he denud this at first, but .
then confessed, and said that Wilding had
kna*ked iiiru down, autl then lie stubbed,
him. H*‘ asked tio wuhU his iumds; think ;

He confessed the dei*d about five minui'*s
after h* dmi**'l it. Robinson talk'*d to him
more than I did. He* said he had the
“dead wood” on Finnegan, j fiink Robin
son said Finnegan had lx.dtor acknowledge
the crime. We did not show any weapon*-.
1 think In* said something ußsit diHtxiancl
cursing ids father and mother. He >.tid
Mr. Wilding struck him first.
: Henry Hackney, sworn -Wilding and
Finnegan were standing at the counter of
the bar-rH)in, when 1 saw them alout 2
o’clock Tuesday morning. Willing ta!kt*d

Finnegan asked me to wait till he carried
Wilding home. He soon came luwk and

him why he was so excited. ll<* whisper

Ito pieces. 1 was obliged to kill him. I did
not Relieve what he said. I advised him
to go away. He said he would not do it. He

I too dark for me to see it. He asked me
(noth? say anything about what he told

\S e sUv(> in diffcrcjit rooms. Finnegan
1 said he done what lie did to save his own
life; said the man had drawn a knife on
him as long as his arm. He said Ik* t<x>k

After the Thieve*.
i Tin* policemen have been making the
city quite warm for tb numerous sneak
! thieves, who have waged such q merciless
! warfare on chickens, hogs, and almost
I everything els*.
! afternoon while Capt. Foran
I and policeman Smith were in pursuit of a
i thief who had stolon some beef from a
* countryman, they passed through “Gxdey
ville." Here they came up with a negro
I whom they had once been after in the city,
1 but who had then escaped them. He is a
j famous chicken thief, and has been very
successful in his villainy. The officers or
dered him to stop and come to them. He
I seemed in no humor for passive oßnlienee,
! and delilx*rub*ly levelled a musket at po
j lic'-man Smith and flre<b Luckily, th*
j shot had no effect, and the policemen com
' rnencod a lively chas*? after the Rfld scamp.
' They pursu'sl him aß>ut three-quarters of
! a mile, when he dlsai'peared in Shepherd’s
: swamp. It was too dark to find him in
| such a place, and the policemen were com
pelled to desist for a while. They are still
on the lookout for him, and will yet R*
I successful in their watch.
•On Wednesday night policemen Sinclair

We arc authorized the state that tho

j A leading Georgia newsitaper has
posted Uic* following in the business offi .*0;
| “Nobcxly allowed t* get drunk except the
j editors.”
The Detroit Erie Ere#* wants some kind
i friend to Inform Matt Carpenter that a
I breathing cave, one that sucks in men and
I animals wandering near its mouth, has
been discovered iu Georgia.
1 Some of our very young friends had
j some tableaux at tiie home of one of their
{number on Wednesday afternoon. The
tickets were sold for a lady and gentleman
|at the moderate sum of five cents. Thirty
five cents was received into the treasury,
! and the young folks were happy. The
! scenes w. rc all taken from Mother Goose’s
wonderful productions. Just ns Little Bo
! peep was being brought out in the latest
! style, and when tiie sheperdess was ten
derly gazing ut the row of Bologna sau
j sagos which represented the detached,
tails of her absect l!<x*k, the lady of tin*
house appeanxi on the scone. She was in
i dignant at the proceeding, and rudely
j seizing the well fill's] coffer, distributed
: tiios** seven nickles to their original
! owners, und made the curtain fall before
: the time nppolnt*Nl in the programme.
! The enUTtiinnu nt will lx* repeated and
i more fully carried out t* -morrow, at
phue far from the reach of ruthless intru
ders. The admission fee has been changed
to six pins; very small children half price.
From the quality of his wails, we judge
; that the wit of the Macon Star is danger
ously ill.
Three or four pcflkvmen wore on hand
at the app'dnbvl hour yesterday, but their
efforts were all in vain; a Mayor’s Court
‘ couldn’t be stirred up.
In nearly all the cities of this State it is
getting fashionable for nice young men
who are caught attached to lamp-posts
after dark, and who receive written invi
tations to call oh the Mayor next morning,
to reply on rose-tinted initial jmperthank
ing the Mayor for his fatherly kindness,
admitting any little things which may R*
said about them, and enclosing a blank
check, properly signed, which is to be #lll
- ed out by his Honor with the amount he
wants to charge them. The thing is very
complicated, and can only be done grace
fully after long practice. Besides, if a man
pursues this plan. In* never will get up a
reputation.
We hear fn -m a r -liabl<* source of an
Anw*ricu.s girl who wears No. 10’s. Site
takes aftt*m<x>n walks over her father’s
plantation iu summer, and ants R*comean
unknown genus in those parts.
Since the proposed plan of tunnelling
tiie English Channel has R.-eii (treating so
nivieh excitement, a Columbus man has
concluded that a sub-ChatLihooche*ian
coiUKx-ti' -n R4wt*n'n(ic<>rgia and .Alabama
would R* greatly Ruielicial toß>th States.

Tn-* number of strangers in the city has
been reduced to a fine point.
‘Cross-Eyed M< >llie; or, the S-r<-cress of
the Cliattah<!X*heo,” is the latest effusion
of a local author. Its st yle is said to be a
; combination of the excellencies of Dick
i ens, Seutt and Buiwer. Tho first edition
will soon appear.
We know a fellow who says he is going
to get married in sejf-defenco, sr> that
when lc* is asked t-> contribute to any
charitable obj<.x.*t he may draw himself up
and s;H*ak in burning wordsof the family
which is dependent for tho bread of life on
the exertion of his good right arm.
The editorial profession pres i nte t<o
broad a field to be easily mastered, and it
is Ixvoming customary for men of moder
erate talents to make a specialty of some
jMiitieular defmrtment of it. A Kentucky
, man mak(*s his living by writing obitu
, aries. and for ten jx*r cent, above his
! printed prices will guarantee them to
please all the relatives of the “late lament
ed.”
A rustic Civil Rights walked up t< a
Coluiubus fruit dealer the other day, and
pointing to a buuch of banannas inquired,
