It Was stated at tin) lost mooting of oUI
City Council that Mr. W. L. Jtobbwon was
merely the Deputy Mumhni acting ns
Marslutl. Indeed, tills Is the general opln-
I ion of the citizen*, and must be tho cose,
j since Mr. Robinson has not boon nppoint-
I ml Marshal, but holds the offleo he did at
S tho time of Marshal Murphy's death, viz:
ttiat of Deputy Marshal.
We merely ask for Information, if this
state of affairs is not contrary to that purt
of the city charter which relates to the
matter of police? In other words, does not
that charter requlro tho city to have u
Marshal as well as a Deputy ?
Section Ist ol tho ordinance ill relation
to police, reads as follows:
“The police fori* of the city shall con
sist of a Marshal, Deputy Marshal, and—
policemen.”
And section Ist of the ordinance pro
scribing tins duties of tin* Doputy Marslutl,
reads thus; “It shall l*o the duty of tho
Deputy Marshal to assist the Marshal in
the discharge of his duties, anil in the ab~
tenet or icknes of the Marshal perform
tlie duties of Ids office.”
This section says ttiat in the abnerue or
HirknrMH of the Marshal, the Deputy shall
perform his duties, but does not mention
the case of death or removal from office.
It appears to us that in that ease, as there
is no Marshal, the election of one immedi
ately is proper. We merely wish to be in
formed upon this subject, and to inquire if
it is not necessary for the regular and per
fect governmentof the city, that we should
have a Marshal as well as a Deputy Mar
shal? Now, we have only the latter.
While on tliis subject, we would slate
that we have no objection to the action of
the Police Committee of ourCounoll, which
postpones the election of a Captain of tho
Police, to All the vacancy caused by the
resignation of W. L. Cash, until the next
meeting of Council. Tho committee rec
ommend that when the Captain is elected,
someone lie chosen who is not now on the
force. Though there are good anil efficient
men on the force now, tills suggestion is
not at all objectionable. But we think wo
express the wishes of a large majority of
our people when we say that when tills
Captain is elected, ho should boa man
who has never killed anybody. Killing
policemen don't pay. Whan this Captain
is eloctod, he should lie a quiet, peaceable
citizen one fitted In every way to fill the
position with dignity and honor, and to
proserve tlie peace of the city, without
having to resort to ills pistol.

that within this space of time an immense

Brown were the only culprits arraigned, j
and their trial was witnessed by too small i
a crowd to make the thing at. all interest- j
lug. It was asserted that these gentlemen
had been drunk and disorderly, on last. 1
Sunday, In violation of laws human and
divine, and greatly to the annoyance of all i
good and peaceable citizens. The charge |
was fully discussed, and as a conclusion of 1
Uie whole matter, James was dismissed
none the worse off, but Henry was knock
ed clear out $2 50, which he paid, and the

A Mnn Cmi* U Throut—Wcilry of
KtUICRMi
Yesterday morning, about eight o’clock,
Wade Stevens, a white man about twenty
five years of age, made a desperate at
tempt to end his own life by cutting his
throat. The affair occurred at Stevens’
shoe shop, near the south commons. It
soeuis that several times before ho has
made attempts to commit suicide, and on
yesterday he come very near being suc
cessful. He had been depressed in spirits
for the last two or throe days, and appear
ed to be In a fit of melancholy, which led
his mother and sisters, with whom he
lives, to suspect that something was tho
matter.
It appears that a day or two since Ste
vens had a quarrel with a woman named
Emma Ragland, with whom he has been
on very Intimate terms. This little ripple
in the course of his love seemod to affect
the unhappy man with more than usual
force, and was probably the Immediate
cause of his bold attempt to take his own
life. Early yesterday morning Stevens
arose and put on his best clothes. He then
left tlie home where his mother and sis
ters live, and went to his shoo shop, which
Is near by. About eight o’clock his mo
ther entered the shop and found Stevens
lying on the floor apparently insensible
and bleeding profusely from the neck. It
appeared instantly that the man had made
two terrible gashes in his throat.
Dr. Stanford was immediately sent for,
and soon arrived. Stevens recovered con
sciousness about this time. On exam
ination it was found that he had
cut his throat on each side with a
common pookot-knlfe. The gashes were
made in th<* muscular part of the nock,
and were more of the nature of stabs than
cuts. Stevens had thrust his knife in each
side of his neck, but had dealt tho blow too
far back, so that it piereed the muscles but
did not affect tho jugular vein or any of
the arteries. From the character of the
wounds it was very evident that a despe
rate attempt had been made to end life.
Tho blow had not been properly directed,
and the fact that it was not Instantaneous
ly fatal Is duo to mere accident. If tho
blade of the knife he used had been just
a little longer, It would have answered all
his designs, even striking where it did.
Dr. Stanford pronounced tho wounds se
rious, but says they will not prove fatal.
They must be very painful indeed. Tho
wounded man was removed to his moth
er’s house and carefully attended to. The
blood flowed profusely from his wounds.
He does not seem to regrot his action at
all, and, from tho manner in which he
sjxmks, it seems he Is determined to suc
ceed in taking his own life before he stops.
He thought ho had succeeded yesterday.
Says he dressed himself up to save others
the trouble when they laid him out as a
corpse. The deed was characterized by
a determined coolness which makes it hor
rible. The man seems to fed life as a bur
den which oppresses aud galls him, and
his fixed intention appears to he to east it
off. He will recover from the effects of
the rash attempt he made yesterday, but
it may bo only to gain strength for anoth
and more successful assault upon his own
existence.
Wade Stevens is very generally known
Inf this community. Ho is of very hum
ble origin, and is a shoemaker by trade.
He was taken to Atlanta in IHGB with the
party charged with killing Ashbura. It
will be generally remembered that he is
one of the parties who turned State’s evi
dence against the other prisoners. Since
this act he has lived in Columbus but has
had fvw or no friends.
His life must have boon the source of
very little pleasure and much unhappi
ness. When viewed in this light. Ills con
duct does not appear at all strange. It is
supposed by some that he has been in
sane for the past two or throe days and
that the act was the result of mental ab
erration. The circumstances do not seem
to justify such a conclusion. The man
was weary of an existence which brought
him no joy, and whose continuance was
the pledge of future misery. From this
state of affairs he endeavored to escape by
a desperate act, and, perhaps unfortunate
ly for himself, failed in the effort.

Monlieoinery Election.
I The municipal election in Montgomery
i Is approaching, and promises to be one of
! no ordinary interest and importance. The
i Radicals have had control of the city for
j some time past, and their rule has worked
| great hardship to the better class of eiti
| zons. Faber, the present Mayor, has held
the office a long time, and it seemed almost
impossible to defeat him and his clans.
The Democrats of the city are making
! strenuous efforts to carry the coming elec
tion, and arc confident of success.
On Monday night the Democrats held a
j nominating convention, and after twelve
ballots Mr. M. L. Mosos was nominated
i for Mayor. Mr. James R. Smith, formerly
!of this city, received the nomination for
i City Clerk.
! It is thought that the mmiiiiutlon of Mr.
j Moses is u happy move. There is a large
| foreign element in the city, and his selec
| tion will conciliate it and insure its sup
| port. He is an Alderman at present, amt
j is said to be a man of ability and integri
ty. Wo wish the nominated ticket suc
cess, and hope that it will rid the city of
the crowd now in office.

Calamity*
A gentleman noted far and wide for his
unfailing veracity, told us, yesterday, an
Incident which wc* would certainly have
disbelieved had it oome from a lees authen
tic source. He says the thing actually oc
curred, and if pushed to the wall, he can
give tho time, place, names, and ail the
full particulars. Here is his narrative:
There once lived a man who borrowed
his neighbor’s newspaper as regularly as
the days succeeded each other. Indeed,
the owner of tho paper seldom saw his
own property. At last the borrower’s eye
sight began to fail; his vision grew ex
ceedingly dim. Whether this was sent
upon him as a punishment for his action
in the matter of tiiat paper, or was u mere
occular accident, we are not authorized to
state. At any rate, his eyes failed more
and more until he could scarcely tell the
daylight from the night time. About this
time, at the solicitation of his family, he
subscribed to a paper himself, and every
night the news of the day was read by
kind attendants to the poor, blind man,
out of his own, paid-for paper. Gradually
his eyes became better, and a faint vision
returned. The improvement continued un
til his sight was perfectly restored, and
his eyes were even better than ever. Ever
i since that time this man has never failed
i to take his own paper, and really looks
upon it as the Insurance of his sight.
What a powerful appeal this is to all
honest, intelligent men to subscribe at
| once to a g<xxl daily paper!

Bnuljleld & G>„ Atlanta, Ga. Dear Sirs:
I take pleasure in stating that I have used
for the last twenty years the medicine you
I arc putting up, known as I)r. HradJu UCh
Female Regulator, and consider it the
last combination ever gotten together for
the diseases for which it is recommended.
I have been familiar with the preparation
both as a practitioner of medicine and in
domestic practice, and can honestly say
that I consider it a boon to suffering fe
males, and can but hope that every lady
in our land, who may be suffering in any
way peculiar to their sex, may be able to
procure a bottle, and their sufferings may
. not only lx; relieved, but that they may )>*•
j restored to health and strength.
With mv kindest regards.
I am, respectfully,
