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. IneorreK. 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. Bargain Counter.

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.

Criminal Ilnrttrl. alixanhek l'ltvon found guilty of VOLUNTARY MANSLAUGHTER. Yesterday morning tho criminal dock et of Muscogee Superior Court was taken up by Judge Goo. F. Bartlett of the Ocmulgoe Circuit. Judge Johnson has gone fo Jones county to preclde instead of Judge Bartlett at that court. Judge Bartlett Is a gentleman of lino personal appearance. He Is stout and hearty mid appears to be about fifty years of ago. He presided in a manner which Indicabsl line judicial ability and elicited favorable comment from all. He presldinl at our court about throe years ago. TAIL CASKS. The following Is a list of the jail cases: The first six prisoners were brought Into court yesterday morning: Jim Brooks—forgery.

Ed Combs - “ “ “ “ Making a total of twenty-three jail eases. 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. Iu Kullt'ooil Circle*. 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.

Some of our dusky females want a w ash erwomen’s union. The plan doesn't work, and had better not be tried. "Comoetussos” Is tho way the Columbus darkies Improve on Webster as regards tomatoes.

The Macon people take a great pride In these exhibitions. Tomorrow Is the regular day lor the Board of Trade to meet, and if a quorum : can lie gotten there will he a meeting. Saturday and Sunday both passed away peacefully, and the great storm that was prophesied did not put in an appearance. Dr. F. A. Stanford will leave for Atlanta this morning to attend the meeting of the State Board of Health. The Board will organize to-morrow. Still there arc complaints of the stealing of flowers ami other things from our cem etery. The offenders ought to be nabbed by the clutches of the law. There are said to be no less than flfb*en female colleges in Georgia. We could spare a few to China If she wants them very much. The choir of tho First Baptist ('linreh Is j excellent; their practising* are always delightful. Prof. Chase manipulates the organ with a master’s hand. An Atlanta man objects to being called 1 n fast chap on a daily newspaper, and says if he is “fast," it is his business and not tho editor's. A young man who loves pleasure says . he goes to Villa Reich every Sunday after noon to study human nature! Fine place for tho purpose. In answer to our request to explain how orders from very near Eufaula come to Columbus grocery merchants, the Eufaula Times’ free bridge man goes into a lengthy explanation, which dispels all doubts on the point. It is ns clear as mud! Merchants in the various cities in Geor gia arc proposing to sell meat to larrnors on from one to four months’ time. Tills is considered by several of the papers in tho State as a good omen, for it shows that the farmers are not buying much meat, and the merchants lirnl it necessary to offer them extraordinary inducements.

To the Mayor and Council of the city of Co s : Gentlemen At a meeting of ihe Bt >ard i of CmmiHshuffers of ConmioiiH. held this day, the matter of digging a ditch from a point just north of the Southwestern depot 1 to some point near the Cottage Mills, there j intersecting with the ditch which now runs I west of the depot grounds, hr Mr. Kyle’s) ami the colored Methodist Church on to i Bull crock. thereby avoiding the necessity of the ditch ms It nowig between the points mentioned, to-wit: North of the depot to ! the Cottage Mills, and affording a much i shorter mid letter outlet for the water, ! was mentioned: and it being stated that I the services of the chain-gang could now I |>o had without cost to the city for doing t the work, the Coal'd, by resolutions, au thorized your body tohave the work done, ; if it was dremod desirable by you. 1 have the honor also to present to you j acopv of my annual report, made to the j Board of Comfliissioners on the 14th inst., I which I am requested to transmit to you for yjpur information?. Very respectfully, 15. F. Coleman, [ Pros’! Board of Oom’rs of Commons. | 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.

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-.
