We learn from the Columbus Enquirer
that the election held in that city on Satur-
day last resulted in the popular refusal, by
a large majority, to ratify the proposition
of the City Council to subscribe $50, 900
to the Montgomery and Eufaula Railroad.
The vote stood-subscription 19; no SUBJ
scription 1903; rejection" l. Considering

M1scEaENArIoN.- letter was shown
us yesterday from highly respectable citi-
zen Of Gwinnett county, stating that his
daughter had left her home in company
with negro; and asking that his friends
in this city should search for the erring
girl She is believed to be secreted here
in the purlieus of filth and wretchedness,
but thus far no traces of her have been dis
covered. We actually have not the heart
to offer comment upon circumstance so
revolving. The thought is sickening that
the decentralization of the times in which
we live is creeping stealthily into the pres
ence Of chaste women, and tainting the
OILY atmosphere that we had hoped to pre-

DARING OUTRAaE.-Last night few
minutes after 9 o'clock, three men dressed
in Federal uniform, attacked Mr.. j. G..
Bromell, revenue officer of the United
States, on Fayette street, near the old Cape
T ear Bank. The rascals seized and threw
him down, searched his pockets, appropria-
ted few dollars he had therein, returned
him his keys, kept pocket knife, and then
let him up. Booty was the sole ceject Of
the party, as they did not attempt to harm
him. 1t is astonishing to hea1 Of the fire.
