The communication in these columns
which urge* the necessity of a central de
pot deserves the careful perusal of all.
The present arhingemont subjects every
body to a groat inconvenience and, if pos
sible, should be abolished. The good re
sults which would accrue if the wish of a
large majority of our citizens was com
plied with, and a central depot immediate
ly established, are too numerous to bo
specified. True, the change would pro
duce temporary inconvenience and cost a
considerable amount, but it maybe wisely
HMkcd if the tho sum sufficient to accom
plish this change could be invested more
profitably to the city, or in a manner which
would so increase the pleasure and conve
nience of the citizens.

Mayor** Court Ye*terdtty.
The attendance yesterday at his Honor’s
Court was small, and tho interest in the
proceedings very lax. Only one came up
for trial. Nat Peabody and Jane Thorn
ton were charged with disorderly conduct
on Wednesday last. The evidence elearly
showed that Jane had no part in the mis
chief, and that her fair name had boon un
justly sullied. When the Court dismissed
her, she bowed gracefully and departed {
with all tho modesty of female excellence
and all the pride of conscious triumph.
But Nat was not allowed to participate In
the victory of innocence. Nat had whip
ped his daughter and had boon exceed
ingly disorderly, and the Court was well
aware of the fact, so he was mulcted in
the sum of $.. Nat plainly told the
Court that ho had no financial resources,
and could not respond to its call. It was
therefore left to Nat’s wise discretion
whether he would choose the solitary con
finement of a dark and dreary dungeon or
be arrayed in striped apparel and enjoy
the sunlight and breeze, while he labored
on the thoroughfares of the city. The
latter position seemed to suit tin* gentle
man. Here much to our regret, the Court
adjourned.

V.lvrly Chnae.
Yesterday morning, about half past three
o'clock, Policemen John St. Clair and Whit
Smith wore out about tho foot of Wynn’s
hill, when they begun to notice a suspic
ious looking negro. Satisfied that he
was not exactly all right they arrest
ed him and searched his person. He
hud been in their charge for some time and
they were sit ting in a house, when he sud
denly darted out of t he back door and was
gone in on instant. Policeman St. Clair
fired at him, and both the officers chased
him all about the premises, once in a while
getting an opportunity to shoot at his val
uable self. They chased him for some
distance and he seemed to have finally es
caped them. They then walked back a
little way and stopped under some trees to
rest. They had no idea of getting on
track of their prey again, when suddenly
tin* negro came upon them. He was in a
very short distance of them. The officers
fired two or three shots apiece at him.
Policeman Smith is very certain that he
hit him once. The chase then commenced
again in earnest, but resulted us it had be
fore. The officers have since learned that
this negro is an escaped convict from Ala
bama. A year or two ago, he was sent to
the i>enltontiary for fifteen years, from Eu
faula. It was not known before tho occur
rence last night, that he was in the city.
His name is John Reid, and he Is very well
known in these parts. He was once asso
ciate! with a negro named Monroe Jackson
-who was caught by our policemen, and
carried to Eufaula where he got a benefit
of twenty-two years in the penitentiary,
for burglary and attempt to murder. John
Reid will be captured yet by our vigilant
officers and sent back to the dismal home
whence ho has Hod.

Alley Randolph, a colored woman, whose
mind has been in an unhealthy condition
for the past eighteen months, was tried
before Judge F. M. Brooks, the Ordinry of
this county, for lunacy, on yesterday.
The following jury was ompannellod and
tried the case. J. W. Pitts, M. I).. J. T.
Daniel, G. W. Shepherd, L. G. Loeb, Wolf
Moses, L. I. Harvey, J. F. Adams, li. J.
Barbee, O. L. Peacock. W.H. Newsom, and
L. McMichaol. Dr. Pitts conducted the
examination and it was clearly shown that
the woman was a lunatic. She was so ad
judged by the jury.
She is still at her home in this city. A
letter has been written to I>r. Green, at the
Asylum, asking him if there is any vacan
cy. The Asylum is said to lx* very full
just now. Twelve lunatics were sent there
from this count y last year. The institu
tion is said to* be in good order, and the
j treatment of patients very successful.

Our tiliont.
Columbiu* is a successful city. Every
thing begun here seems to flourish and
meet with general approbation. Wo pros
per in material things, and our recent suc
cessful ghost proves that in things spirit
ual wo are far from a failure. Wo have
an active, hard working, respectable ghost,
and we are glad of it. What if a few of
our people have been a Uttlo excited by the
appearance of this strange visitor? W hat
If an honorable member of our City Coun
cil is said to have oncountered it and come
off from the conflict completely vanquish
ed? What are all those little inconve
niences compared to the vast amount of
good this ghostly inhabitant has brought
us?
Other towns have tried this ghost sensa
tion, but we arc happy to state that it was
reserved for us to make tho first success
in this line. Macon once had a ghost, but
ho fled in two nights. Atlanta has had six,
but their lives were short and inglorious.
Our ghost is a genius of his kind. He be
gun bis course with a brilliant ‘■ally, and
has maintained his reputation steadily.
He has defied nil attempts at private in
terviews, and comos out on tho horrified
gaze of the public only when it pleases his
ghostly dignity. The press of the State
contain very flattering notices of his pres
ence in the city, and a re evidently attempt
ing to deprive us of his cheering presence.
The attempt is vuin. His affections are
fixed, and as long as he continues a ghost
will stalk in all his terrible grandeur along
our streets at midnight’s solemn hour.
The editor of the Hamilton Visitor is ab- j
solutely incredulous of the existence of j
our ghost, and says that all this excite- 1
inent lias been caused by frost. Could !
anything be more grossly practical or!
more ridiculously absurd. If that man [
had one particle of poetic imagination, he j
would scorn any such supposition. Wo |
art) indignant that such a reflection should |
be cost upon an institution of our loved |
city. If the man who dares to write such i
things ever sets his foot within these cor-;
porate limits, we hope our ghost will be ■
richly revenged upon him. He ought to
catch that fellow In his long arms and;
waltz up and down the river bank with
him until he will swear that he will write j
no more naughty things, and ever show a
proper respect for the feelings and reputa
tion of a well-bred ghost.

Jordan's Joyous Julep.
A Specific for Neuralgia.
I' HAVE been saving a good deal through the
I papers of late extolling JORDAN’S JOYOUS
JULEP as a moat wonderful NEURALGIA CURE;
but for fear you may exclaim as Shakspeare
when he said **Yon cram these words into mine
• ear against the stomach of my sense,” I now sub
mit to you what persons say who have tried my
Neuralgia Julep, with the most complete and
satisfactory result:
Columbus, .January lfi, 1875.
Mr .Jordon: I take great pleasure in recom
mending your Joyous Julep for neuralgia,
has produced a most wonderful relief in one oi
the severest attacks of neuralgia my daughter
ever has had. She has been treat- and for it by
three skillful physicians, with very little benefit,
and used all the usual remedies with little suc
cess. I can with much confidence hope for a per
manent cure. It is only two days since w- began
the use of it. and it is apparently of permanent
benefit. Yours, with respect,
MRS. L. I. NORMAN.
Petkbsburg, Va.. Jan. 15. 1875.
j Jno. L. Jordan, Esq., Columbus, Ga.:
Dear Sir—Having learned through my friend
R. A. Bacon of your "J. J. J.” preparation for re
lief of neuralgia, and tested it with per feet suc
cess in my own family, in the worst ease, too,
that ever came under my observation, I now
enclose fifty cents for a second bottle, as I con
sider it too valuable a medicine to be without,
thougli I have no immediate use for it.
Very truly yours,
' JAMES T. TOSH.
Columbus, Ga., Nov. 1874.
Dr. J. L. Jordan: Dear Sir—Your Joyous Julep
for Neuralgia has been tried in my family, and
with the niot happy result.and I find in it all you
claim for its virtue. And I unhesitatingly re
commend it to all who are suffering from Neural
gia as something a little remarkable in Us cura
tive power. J. D. WORTHY.
Columbus, Ga., Dec. 18,1874.
Dr. J. L. Jordan— Your medicine, Joyous
Julep, is without an equal lor Neuralgia. Having
been a great sufferer from the j>ain, and having
tried the prescriptions of many physicians, yet
all proved of no effect until I tried four doses
of your Julep, when 1 was immediately relieved,
and have not been troubled since.

Dr. J. /.. Jordan— Ph ase send me another bot
tle of your Joyous Julep for a friend. I have
