(iraud Jury rreseutiueuls.
We the Grand Jury chosen and
sworn to serve for the first week of the
September term of the Superior Court
of Gordon county, for 1875,respectfully
submit the following general present
ments :
We have examined and find the Court
House in rather an unsafe condition,
owing to the cracks in the walls and a
bulge in the east end of the building.
We also find that the floor in the south
east office is in a ha 1 conditii n; also a leak
in the roof of the south side of the
building, all of which we recommend to
be repaired early as possible.
We find the jail in a safe and good
condition, with the exception of the
steps platform, which we recommend
to be raised higher next to the house,
so as to throw the water from the wall
of the same, and also two doors that
need some repairing, which we recom
mend be done \\ e also find the well
on the jail lot in a very bad condition,
which wc recommend be putiu a proper
condition.
We have examined the records of the
various county offices, and find them all
neatly and apparently oorrectly kept.
We find from the Treasurer’s books the
following amount received from all
sources, §10,275,47 ; and also the fol
lowing amounts paid out :
For Bridges $ 466 43

Leaving a balance in the treasury of
§ 1,9.95,02. We have also examined
carefully the dockets of the J. P. of the
several districts, some of which we find
neatly and properly kept; and
we find some others not neat
ly kept, and with no entries of hills-of
cost.
We have made diligent inquiry into
the condition of all the roads of Live \
oounty, and find them, with a few ex
ceptions, in a better condition than for

Negro Insurrection In Mississip
pi.
Vicksburg, September G.— .An ex
tra edition of the Herald gives the fol
lowing account ot the disturbance at
Clinton :*
The origin and particulars of the riot
at Clinton on Saturday evening have
been variously stated. After hearing
all the statements, we think the follow
ing is about correet:
There is a law prohibiting the sale of
liquor at Clinton. Some of the young
men from Raymond brought a botttle
with them, and while the speaking was
going on, Martin Sively,and some of his
friends went off a short distance to take
a drink. The colored marshal for the
occasion approached them and forbade
their’drinking. This order was not re
garded, and when the marshal attempt
ed to take the bottle out of Sively’s
hands, Sively struck him over the head
with it. Senator Caldwell, colored,
started to settle the difficulty, and was
followed bysime twm‘y negroes, whom
ho ordered back, but about one hundred
more came rushing on. Someone fired
a shot, which was followed by gereral
firing and a stampede. Sively fired all
the barrels of his pistol,and the negroes
then demanded his surrender. He sur
rendered and gave up his pistol, after
which he was shot and his hr ain
knocked out. He was then robbed ots
his clothing, and a finger was cut off
iu order to get his ring. The infuriated
mob found Charles Chilton in his yard,
and shot and killed him in the presence
of his family. Frank Thomason, a
promising young lawyer, was shot from
his horse a mile and a half from the
scene of conflict, and after falling the
savages drove their knives into his body
in many places. John Neal was fatally
shot in the left lung in town, and Wad
dy Harris seriously in the hand. Four
negroes were found on the field, and
two mortally wounded. Six negroes
have been found dead about Clinton.
Since, the white men of Clinton were
organized at once for self-protection un
der Col. Harding. Telegrams were sent
here for assistance, and fifteen minutes
after the first dispatch, 150 men were
ready to march and took a special train,
which reached Clinton at 7 o’clock.
About 10 o’clock, more reinforcement?
came from Jackson roads, and were
picketed during the night, hut all Gan
ger being over, most of the citizens re
turned to their homes in Vickburg,
leaving thirty men on guard under Capt.
W. H Anderson. Capt. Anderson rer
turned with his men this morning and
reports all quiet at Clinton and Edwards.
The train from Jackson on Saturday
night with reinforcements for Clinton
was fired into from the side of the road,
and obstructions were placed on the
track.
I’otioa Tax Suspended.
Executive Department, 3
State of Georgia. V
Atlanta,Ga., Sept. 8,1875. j
To Hon. Wm. Ij. Goldsmith, Comp
trailer General:
Whereas, A petition has been pre
sented to me by a number of the citi
zens of Morgan county, representing
that the tax receiver of said county has
included in the digest of taxes returned
by him for the years 1875, as taxable,
all cotton held by farmers and producers
on the first day of Arril last aud has re
quired said farmers and producers to re
turn the same as taxable ; said petition
praying that an order be granted by
this department suspending the collec
tion of said tax until the next meeting
of the General Assembly ; and,
Whereas, In the opinion of many
persons, it was not the intention of the
Legislature in enacting the act of 1875,
to impose a tax upon products in the
hands of the producers thereof; and it
being the matter of the first importance
to producers that the attention of the
Legislature in this regard should be
clearly understood, and that they should
not be unreasonably limited as to the
time within which they dispose of their
products, and thus be placed to that ex
tent within the power of speculators ;
and,
Whereas, The public interest can
suffer no injury by granting the prayer
of said petitioners; it is, therefore,
Ordered, That the Comptroller in
struct the several tax collectors of this
State to suspend the collection of the
tax upon cotton and other products in
the hands of farmers and producers on
the first day of April last, until the
next meeting of the General Assembly
of this State.

Surplus of Southern Crops.—
The New Orleans Circular of September
1 has the following remarkson the gener
al crops of the South :
The new commercial year begins to
day, and the future premises more than
every before,since the war. The South
ern States generally has large crops
of cotton, sugar, rice, grain, hay, pota -
toes, etc., and the usual Southern de
mand expec ; ed by the West for pro
visions and breadstufls, it is estimated,
will decrease the coming season fully
thirty per cent, for breadstuff's, but will
be fully made up by foreign demand if
prices are reasonable. Many Southern
States have a large number of hogs,
poor now in the woods, which soon will
be fattened with the large crops already
made. With the surplus of g**tin,
particularly of wheat and oats, the South
finds herself an exporter of these articles
and the creator of another revolution,
but this time one in agriculture ana
business, generally upon a more solid
basis. The Western crops are reported
large also, which will make good crops
of hogs and a surplus fully adequate to
the wants of foreign markets.
Prisoners of War.—A correspond
ent of the Macon Telegraph disposes,
very summarily, of the charge which
certain Radical sheets have revived that
Mr. Davis and the Confederate officials
generally treated the Federal prisoners
cruelly. This correspondent prints the
following extract from the Washington
Union, giving the result of an investi
gation made in 18G8. The Union said ;
“In reply to a resolution of the
House of Representatives calling upon
the Secretary of War for the number
of prisoners of either side held, and
that died during the war, he makes the
following report: Number of Union
prisoners South, 2G0,040 ; died, 22,599.
Number of Confederate prisoners North,
200,000; died, 2G,435."
Northern journals that make flippant
reference to “ the horrors of Anders m
ville and Salisbury," would do well to
remember that the world will place
quite as much confidence in official re
ports as they do in the bowlings of a
partisan press.

Poisoned by Jim son Weed.—
Lily Schee and a child of iMr. Thomas
Evans were playing Thursday evening
in Mr. Evans’ door yard, where some
jimson weeds had been cut down and
piled iu a heap, '1 he heat of the sun
opened the seed capsules and the chid
ren picked out a few of the seed and
ate them. The poison took effect almost
immediately. Mr. Evans’ child was
saved with the utmost difficulty, but
Lily fechee was carried home insensible,
and all the efforts of the physicians
failed to arouse her, or to counteract
the effect of the poison. After
enduring the terrible spasns all night
she died early yesterday.
Parents eanot be too careful in keep
ing this deadly poison beyond the reach
of their young children, and should not
allow it to grow within their gardens or
door yards.— Chattanooga Times.
A philosopher presents the following
general deduction froms his observation
at a picnic:
Girls with small feet are the most
venturesome in climbing trees or wad
ing swamps.
The girl who will fly in terror to the
arms ot her escort at the sight of a toad,
if she happens upon a snake by herself,
will deliberately catch it by the tail aud
jerk its head off.
One ordinary handkerchief is not
large enough tor two persons to sit upon
at one and the same time.
The young man whose pants been
most mercilessly torn by thorns is the
one who is the most urgently solicited
to climb trees and fix swings.
Bugs have no sense of propriety.

A Shoemaker’s Sopihstry. —You
can’t get an old shoemaker to blunder.
The other day when a weighty woman
sailed into a Detroit shoe store and se
lected a pair of No. 4s and sat down to
have them tried on, the shoemaker saw
that she wanted 7s. But he didn’t tell
her so, and start her out of the shop on
a gallop. He smiled and softly said :
‘'Madam, all the aristocratic ladies are
now wearing shoes three sizes too large
for their feet, in order to have cool ex
tremities, and of course you want to fol
low the style ?"
She suiiied like a duck in reply to
his smile, and replied :
“You are iu a position to know best
and I leave everything to your judg
ment."
Y\ hen she went out she said she never
had such an easy fitting shoe on in her
whole life.— Detroit Free Press.
——
Mr. Blanton Duncan gives, in
the Louisville Commerical,an interesting
account of the Confederate currency.
He says the total issue nevr reached
§350,000,000, and its depreciation was
less than is popularly believed. He says
the paper dollar was worth 85 cents in
gold in November, 18G1 ;GO ceuts in
May, 18G2 ; 45 or 50 cents iu Novem
ber, 1862 ; 1G cents in July, 1863 ; 8
cents in November, 18G3 ; 5 cents in
May, 1864, from which period to the
termination of the war it fiuetuted.going
up once to G cents, and only failing en
tirely as a medium in the last two months
prior to the capitulations, when every
one saw that defeat was inevitable.
According to the last census of Ire
land the inhabitants are thus classified
as to their religious faith : Roman
Catholics, 4,150.867 ; Protestant Epis
copalians, GG7.998 ; Presbyterians, 497,-
G4B ; Metliodists, 43,441. The rest
51,432, aie ol other denominations.
Among them are 1,538 Covenanters,
2,605 Brethren, and some Exclusive
Brethren, Christadelphians, Darbyites,
etc., etc.
Stealing Crops. —The planters in
Alabama are holding meetings to con
coct some plan for the suppression of
socailed “dead-falls," and to stop the
stealing of crops in the field, which is
going on, as they say, to an intolerable
extent this tall.
