The Savannah Republican says the
"wildest days of st. Domingo" have
been reproduced in Southern Georgia,
by bad negroes. Murders and other
atrocities are of constant occurrence.
Yes, John Browns soul is march
ing on! The Gospel of Murder taught
by the Abolition Saint when yet in the
fe.h is being practically fulfilled by
his followers. Congress has bound the
white people of the South hand and
foot, and the "bad negroes" have anice
time of it in the way of hanging women
and cutting the throats of infants.
Glorious, Christian Reconstruction !
Wondrous perfection of civilization !!
Who can fail to admire the wisdom,
the patriotism, the humanity of Con-
orracc

A YOUNG LADY returning to her
country home after sojourn of a few months in
the city, was hardly recognized by her friends.
In place of a coarse rustic, flushed face, she had
a soft ruby complexion of almost marble smooth
ness, and instead of twenty three she really ap-
peared but eighteen. Upon inquiry as to the cause
of so great change she plainly told them
that she used the CIRCASSIAN BALM, and con-
sidered it invaluable acquisition to any Lady's
toilet. By its use any Lady or Gentleman can i'm
prove their personal appearance an hundred fold
1t is simple in its combination, as Nature herself
is simple, yet unsurpassed in its efficacy in draw
ing impurities from, also healing, cleansing and
beautifying the skin and complexion. By its di-
rect action on the cuticle it draws from it all its
impurities, kindly healing the same, and leaving
the surface Nature intended it should be, clear,
soft, smooth and beautiful. Price 81, sent by Mail

the Poor Directors to sell the Poor
House property and purchase another,

a new building for the accommodation

wrong, as a new Poor House is badly

From the Bedford Inquirer

The Legislature of this State adjourn
ed on the 11th inst, after having pass
ed bills enough to make volume half
as large as Webster's Unabridged Die
tionary. All the Christian people In
the State should join in thanks to the
Throne of Grace that it did no more
harm than it did. Another such a
Legislature would sink US. If the Re
publican party returns, within the
next ten years, the same amount OF
corruption and verality to a single Leg
islature it deserves eternal defeat.

Knocked Down by the Constable.

y
A man by the name of BRINK, haleing
from Lynnville, in this county, said to be
President Of the Loyal League of Giles
county, got slight tap on the head last
Monday from Maj. AYMETT, our gentleman
ly and efficient city constable. for being a
little too ''preViOus" il passing the lie
So far as we could inform ourself, the facts
were about as follows: On Saturday night,
as 10. Williams, the oolored orator of the
day, was entering the train to return to his
home at Nashville, he was followed by this
man Brink, who, as Maj. Aymett asserts,
had a pistol in his hand, with the avowed
intention of molesting the said Williams.
He was promptly met at the door by Maj
Aymett, who ordered him to desist Some
sharp words followed, when Mr.. Brink was
elected from the train. On Monday, as the
Major was passing quietly along the street,
attending to the duties of his Office, he was
aecosted by Brink, who inquired if he the
constable, had said that when he entered
the train on Saturday night he had pistol
in his hand. Major Aymett replied that he
had said SO, and said so yet. Mr.. Brink
replied that if he said that he lied. Where
upon Maj. Aymett let one end Of his stick
fly at him and knocked him down. Brink
asked for quarter. picked himself up, and
in short time was on his way, in compa-
ny with several of his radical friends,
white and black, to the radical convention
at Shelbyville.
These are the facts in the case as related
to us by gentleman who has demonstrated
that it is best for one not to tell him that he
lies.
We shall not be surprised to see this cir.
cumstance tortured into rebellious affair,
and heralded forth through the columns of
the Press &c Times and other radical jour
nails, as a most diabolical and malicious as,
sault upon, and persecution of, a Union
man by Giles county rebel, when the
truth Is. Maj. Aymett would have knocked
any rebel down just as quick for the same
ofense. He but done his duty in protect
ing Jo Williams from violence, and those
who know the man will testify that he
would have done the same thing for the vi
lest radical in the land, Gov, Brownlow not
excepted.

The Gathering Last SATURDAY..

Last Saturday was big day for the Con-
servatives Of old Giles. The crowd as
sembled in Pulaski on that day was esti-
mated at from two TO three thousand. Ac-
cording toiprevious announcement. Col. c.
S. CAMERON, of Memphis, arrived on the
morning train, aud proceeded about
o'clock to address the large and impatient
audience. We shall not attempt to give
even q summary Of this eloquent and fore
ible address, well knowing that we would
fall far short Of doing Col. CAMzRoN and
tie noble cause wins he advocates any
thing like justice. Suffice il to say, that
on this occasion he lost none of his we'll
deserved reputation as an orator and no
bic exponent of the principles of the Con-
sentative party. Even ''my good looking
friend'' from Lynnville will bear US
out in the assertion that he was well posted
upon the political questions of the day,
and that be was prepared to sustain every
assertion that he made by the record.
Col. CAMERoN's address has had the eff
feet to put everybody, both white and
black, to thinking, and lead them to an IN
vestigation. This is all that is necessary.
Let the white man, and the black man, in
vestigate, and We have no fear of the result.
After the Colonel had concluded, 10.
WILLIAMS, the intelligent colored conserva-
tive orator, engaged the undivided atten-
ton of the immense audience for about two
hours in an eloquent aud convincing ad-
dress. the effect of which cannot be esti-
mated until after the election. when it will
be seen that instead of the slight majority
commended for by tie radicals in this eOun-
ty, the Conservatives will have almost the
entire vote of the thinking portion of Giles
county, both white and black.
We hope we may have the benefit of
such convincing speeches as those deliver
ed here last Saturday often during the cam
paign, aud we shall have no fear of the re-
suit.

Another Rowdv Bagged

The rowdies and rufisns In this locality
have been suffered SO long by inefficient Of
fcers to ride rough-shod over all law aud
order, that it is very hard matter for them
to become convinced, except by the most
forcible argument, that our present town
constable is not man who is going to allow
the laws of the corporation to be trampled
upon with impunity by every one such who
gets drunk upon our streets, and that be
viii not allow his own feelings outraged
without some objection being raised on his
part.
Last Monday evening, drunken man
from the country named T. M. Alexander,
became very boisterous upon the public
square, and having long navy pistol in
his hand, was riding around town, yelling
and cursiug to an extravagant degree. AS
he rode up on the pavement in front of Har-
ris' store, on the northeast corner of the
square, with his pistol cooked in his hand.
he was met by Maj. Aymett, the constable.
who caught his mule by the bride and took
hold of the pistol. Whether by accident
or otherwise we are not prepared to say, the
pistol was discharged, the ball entering
Harris window, and endangering the lives
of Maj Aymett and all those who were
near. The Major acted with commendable
prudence and discretion, and, compelling
him to dismount, carried him before w. H.
Alternately, Esq, who fined him SIS and the
cost.
Our citizens have cause to feel thankful to
Maj. Aymett for his efficiency and fearless
ness IN enforcing law and order in town,
and they should extend to him every en-
couragement and assistance in their pow
err. Pulaski has long needed just such
an officer, and we predict that if he is re-
tanned, every case of lawlessness coming
under his observation will be promptly and
fearIessly taken hold of, and the city and
community. greatly benefited during his
administration. Let him be sustained.

At meeting of the Quarterly Confer

Church, held in this place April 18th, they

their dissatisfaction with the decision Of the
jury at the recent term of our circuit court
in the case Of Marshall Osborn and Samu-
ell Dixon, defendants, and William Rose,
plaintiff, in which case the defendants were
convicted Of an assault aud battery. They
allege that no evidences was produced that
such an assault aud battery ever occurred,
and that William Rose did interrupt pub-
lie worship by disgustful conduct. They
return thanks to the able counsel of the,de
PENDANTS for the able manner in which they
defended the case. aud request them to APP

excepted

We had friends posted all around in the
neIghborhood of our Office last Wednesday
night until a very late hour to watch the
coming of the Grand Turk of the Kuklux
Khan, that being his regular night for Wis
ting our sanctum. We had them posted
in sufficient force to have overpowered him
and found out who end what he was; but
he was too sharp for US. He didn't come.
We had concluded that we would have no
communication from the Grand Cyclops
this week, and up to within few minutes
of going to press, had zone. But an order
came at the eleventh hour, and in the most
mysterious way Of any that have hereto
fore found their way into our sanctum.-
The thing looks impossible and almost SUI
perhuman, but we cannot doubt the veTac-
ity of the gentleman who delivered the or
I der to us. nor that of the honest old farmers
who we're sitting in his Office when the or
der made its mysterious appearance
While these gentlemen were conVersing
upon some legal subject, The order made its
appearance upon the floor right in their
midst, and no hand was near it. It could
not have been thrown in at the door, as ev-
cry one present would have been compell-
ed to see it when it fell, and also the hand
that threw it. This thing occurred in the
Office of one of our most distinguished and
reliable men, and no one who knows him
will dare assert that he tells anything but a
straightforward, honest tale, and the gen
tlemen who were with him would testify to
the truthfulness of this statement, if such
testimony. were necessary to establish the
fact. The order was folded up, and upon
the back of it was written the following
! directions;
'The finder is directed to deliver this tc

AS directed, the gentleman who picked
itup Immediately delivered tito US. Here
is the order. Explain it who. can:
