The Chain OniiK-
The chain gang was yesterday engaged
on the Upper part of Oglethorpe street.
They wore cutting away weeds and eloan
ing up the streets generally.
We learn that there Is considerable sick
ness near tho brickyard holes, and that
they are in need of attention. We supiK.se
the city officers will remedy this evil as
soon as possible. The work in the brick
yard ditch has never been completed. It
is much needed.
Tho chain gang can be made of great
service to the city in cleaning up and at
tending to Its various drains, sewers, Ac.
The health of the community demands
great care In regard to the.-,.’ matters.

A gentleman yesterday showed us a let
ter from a member of Dr. W. R. Skinner’s
family which was written on Monday,and
which stated that all tho family were well,
and said nothing of any accident or mis
fortune or of any difficulty in which Dr.
Skinner was concerned. From this it is
certain that the rumor of the tragedy i.
incorrect. The letter wag written Just a
week ago, and the rumor has boen circu
lating here for ten days past. Dr. Skin
ner's friends hero will bo glad to learn
that he is still alive, halo and hearty.
llow tho Farmer* Talk.
There were quite a number of farmers
- in the city yesterday, and all we saw
seemed to be in the best of spirits. Some
of them were enthusiastic, and ail seemed
to be hopeful over the crop prospects In
this and adjoining counties. They say
cotton is looking finely, especially that
near the river. Corn is doing well and
promises the best crop had for several
years. In some parts of this county the
wheat crop was unusually good, and
scarcely anywhere was it below an aver
age yield.
It Is encouraging to see our farmers
wear such pleasant faces ami speak Hiich
cheering words.

Major Bradford desires us to state that
his motion before Judge Johnson touching
the publication of legal notices, was made
only to settle the question of who should
determine the paper, and with no view to
prevent the Times receiving it. This was
our understanding of the matter in his
case, but the decision benefits us, we think,
for it gives to other parties having such
service to perfect by publication tho rig lit
to bring it to this office, if they desire to
honor us with their patronage.

that court.
Judge Bartlett Is a gentleman of lino

hearty mid appears to be about fifty years

Indicabsl line judicial ability and elicited
favorable comment from all. He presldinl
at our court about throe years ago.

Making a total of twenty-three jail

James Kilgore was sick yesterday, and
his case was set for to-day.
The cases of W. L. Cash, Babe Cash, and
Thomas McEochren were set for Monday.
The case of B. F. Bagley will lie tried
either Monday or Tuesday.
There were forty-nine eases on the dock
et on which no arrest has over been made;
three have been abated by the death of the
accused, and the case of Augustus Simp
son, charge with simple larceny, was con
tinued.
The case of Alexander Pryor, charged
with murder, was taken up. Thornton &
Grimes, M. if. Blandford and C. H. Wil
liams appeared for the defence; Solicitor
W. A. Little represented the State. The
prisoner has llivn confined in jail for sev
eral months, and looked quite pale and
weak when brought into Court. Ho is a
mini of about twenty-seven years of age,
of medium height, with light hair and
moustache of the same color. He killed a
negro named Ridenhourln this cltyovor
two years ago.
The following jury was obtained and the
trial of the case began: G. W. Briggs, W.
F. Snider, J. C. Cheney, John Mchaffey. J.
M. Ford, Woolfolk Walker, W. S. DeWolf,
W. C. Bond, J. C. Green, W. M. Griggs,
Charles Watt and Robert Ware. The first
ten wore obtained from the panel, and the
last two were summoned as lutes jurors.
The forenoon was occupied in hearing
evidence which was quite full as to the
particulars.
At the tioneluslun of the evidence, Thus.
Grimes, Esq., and M. H. Blandford, Esq.,
addressed tho jury In behalf of the prison
er. Both mode able arguments and put
the ease well.
Solicitor W. A. Little concluded for the
State In a fine effort. His speech was com
plimented by all who heard It, and was
considered one of the best ho has made
since ho has been solicitor. It was clear,
forcible anti strong.
At three o’cl<x:k the east* was submitted
to tho jury, and at half-past four they
found a verdict and stmt for Judge Bart
lett. By the time he arrived the court
room was crowded with spectators.
The foreman of the jury handed the ver
dict to Solicitor Little, who.read it, as fol
lows :
We, the jury, find the prisoner guilt y of j
voluntary manslaughter.
John Mehaffey,
Foreman. !
The prisoner heard tho verdict without
a change of countenance. Judgo Bartlett
remanded him to jail, and will probably
sentence him this morning. Tho penalty
for voluntary manslaughter is from five
to twenty years in tho penitent iary, at the
discretion of the judge.
James Kilgore, charged with tin* mur
der of J. F. Coulter, will be tried to-day.

We have endeavored to get the exact
status of matters in relation to the West
ern Railroad of Alabama. As our readers
have been previously advised, Gen. E. Por
ter Alexander has been appointed by the
Georgia and Central Railroads General
' Manager for them of tho Western Rail
road. Ho is well known in railroad circles
■ as a railroad officer of first-class ability,
and we trust under his skillful manage
' ment the road may become a profitable
• institution. As soon as he came into office
r on this road, ho roduced the salary of all
1 employees to the point that the road could
i afford to pay.
Major Hamilton Wilkins, a skillful en
gineer, has been placed as supervisor of
tho Western Railroad from Selma, Ala., to
West Point, and tho branch to Columbus.
Ho takes charge rogulaily on tho 10th
inst. Tliis is an important charge, and a
well merited compliment to this sterling
young engineer. lie is a civil engineer by
profession, and, for some timo past, has
been employed by the Savannah & Mem
phis Railroad as assistant engineer.
No changes have as yet boen made in
the various departments of the road. The
Columbus depot is still under the manage
ment of Mr. Abbott, a clever and thorough
ly efficient agent, and we think has given
general satisfaction to the company and
the community.
The night freight train has boen discon
tinued, thus displacing Mr. Geo. Hughes
as conductor. He is provided with a place,
however, os baggage master on Conduc
tor Webster’s train. Mr. John Colvin still
pulls the bell line on the day freight be
tween here and Montgomery.
Gen. Alexander, though made manager
of the Western Railroad, remains in charge
as President of tho Savannah &. Memphis
Railroad. No orif connected with it knows
anything about the report that the train
between here and Opelika would be dis
continued, and that the Savannah it Mem
phis Railroad train would run to this
point, connecting with all trains at Opeli
ka. There is no prospect of such a thing
known to the head of the road. We learn
from some of the employees that there is
a probability of the trains running through
from Macon to Opelika.

Tlie following communication lrom Mr. i
R. Ij. Bass was read and reeeivinl:
CoLt Mnrs, Ga., May 31.1875* :
'ibthe Manor and Aldermen :
Gentlemen : By Erection I have sur
visyed and staked off the proposed ditch
from tho cemetery branch to the Wynn
Hill branch. Distance. 2,400 feet. Grade,
for the first 900 fret from tho cemetery
branch. 2-10 of a foot to 100 feet; the bn 1-
anee ol the distauce 8-iU to 1.00 fret,
Niunbar of < ul-io yards "f matter to be
removed 4,i'>7o, which w*uld require about
too days' work of common clay. But t his 1
app*ttrs to be hard pan , or gravid and
clay cemented, which substance will re
quire much more time to remove. If al
lowed to guess, 1 say double the time.
Alter a careful survey of all the sur
roundings, I am of the opinion that if will
not be ui advantage to any portion of the
city,but fear t hat It Will injure the property
of Llgon town, and at times during heavy
r.iins render the Wynnton road impassa
ble for a short time. Accompanying litis
you have a profile <•s said ditch. Mv opin
ion is tlmt the cheapest and most effectual
wav to drain the cit y is to cut the main or
brick yard ditch deep enough to make it
effectual, which cau Ie done, as the Hope
of Bull creek has ample fall.
Suffer me also to suggest the propriety
of re-opening the opst mouth of the St.
Clair street sewer, t 'ut the Harper or De
pot. ditch at the north end one and a half
or two feet deeper. Then a regular grade
between the two points (i. e., the mouth of
sewer and end of ditch), then necessary
attention to sower and ample drainage
north of said sewer will have been accom
plished.
The city has a good V level, somewhat
injured by loaning it out, though at pres
ent in line order, but has no rod. It would
bo to the interest of the city to instruct the
Mayor to order one from the maker of the
level. Respectfully submitted, _
R. L. Cass.
The following communication from the
Commit teo of the Board of Education was
received and referred to the Committee on
Public Schools:
7b the Manor and City Council, Columbus:
Gentlemen—The i’rustees <f the Public
Schools, as a matter of economy, and for
the purpose of carrying out the objects of
the schools more effectively, have pur
chased the brick building on the east sum
mons known as the A. .u. E. t hurch. The
Trustees propose to lit up the building
properly ana use it permanently a* a
school for the colored children. For this
purpose the Trustees hereby petition that
all the rights to said church and grounds
vested in the City Council be transferred
to them.
The condition <f this property is as fol
lows: In July, 1849, the Mayor and City
Council granted to white trustees from
| the M. E. Church permission to erect a !
j church on the east commons for the exclu
sive use of the negroes under their care, 1
j and relinquishetf to these Trustees “all the j
j rights of the city to said lot and ground,” •
on the condition that the lot should not
! exceed one-half an acre and “t>e exclusive- !
i ly used for the erection of a church and j
religious worship by the negroes,” and
• that whenever the said lot lx* abandoned I
or used for other than said purpose's, all
| rights granted oh all revert to t he city.
Cr> to tho pivflcmt time the lot has been
used for the purposes granted, but now
the members oi* the said church have sold \
; the said building, or all their rights in it, |
' and under the original grant the said “lot !
and ground” revert to the city.
The Trustees of the Public S hools pe
tition that the Mayor and Council convey
: to them these reported rights in tjic “lot I
and ground,” so that hereafter they nifty 1
lie used for educational purposes.

The demand for Dr. J. Bradfteid's Fe
male Regulator is beyond precedent in
the annals of popular remedies. Orders
come in so thick and fast Chat the Propri
etor has, heretofore leeu unable to fill
them all. He is happy to state that ar
rangements are now complete by which
he is prepared to manufacture Female
Regulator on a scale equal to the emer
gency, and the public may feel assured
that their wants may now be supplied.
Physicians of high repute are using this
great remedy, in daily practice, all over
Georgia. Hereafter no woman need suf
fer from suppressed, suspended or irreg
ular menstruation. This valuable medi
cine is prepared by L. H. Bradtteld, Drug
gist, Atlanta, Ga., and sold at $1.50 per
bottle by druggists throughout America.

Gentlemen—Yon will please ship us an
other supply of your invaluable Female
Regulator, and forward bill by mail. We
are happy to state that this remedy gives
better satisfaction than any article we
sell. We have been selling it since 1868,
and witnessed many remarkable cures by
it. Among others, there was a lady
friend of ours who was sallow and sickly
until she was twenty-six years old, wheii
she was married. Her husband lived two
years and died. She continued in bad
health; in fact, she has never been what
a woman ought to be. A few months
after the death of her husband she saw
your advertisement, and came to our
store and bought a bottle of your Regula
tor from us, and took it according to di
rections. it has cured her sound and
well, brought her regular monthly peri
ods on, and to-day she is a hearty, I-loom
ing widow--with ’the use of but* two bot
tles of your Regulator, costing her only
throe dollars, when she had tried several
physicians and spent a great deal of
money without any benefit-. Wishing you
great success with your valuable reme
dies, we are, respectful! / yours,'etc.,
