The Mighty East.

To show what the conservatives of
the "mighty east are doing, and the
spirit that animates them, we copy the
following items from the Meridian
Gazette:
Never did men work more enereeti-
cally, more effectively than are the
conservatives of LaudeIdale, at this
time, and they are masters of the stu
alton. We can speak for Lauderdale.
If the people all over the State will ex-
ert themselves in like manner, the
constitution will be Overwhelmingly
defeated. The mongrel party will be
SO completely wiped out" that the
COMMITTEE of seven will call in vain,
for the convention of scallawags to
assemble again.

spected citizen of Clarke, has been
nominated for the Legislature in that
county.
S. L. Street, ESQ.,, who was nomina-
ted for the Legislature, by the people
of Jasper county, has since been nom
composed of the counties of Jasper,
Davis, Clarke, and Wayne. In all
| these counties, he is well Known and
immensely popular. We do not see
how it is possible for him to be de-
feated.

low townsman, w. w. Shearer, ESQ

DoUx- SHE CoMuITETH FORGERY
AND LAMBETH IN JAIL.
The Grand Jury of Bibb county
were yesterday called upon to inyesti
gate a rich case, the facts of which we
propose to give in detail.
Several months ago a white woman
by the name of Amanda Fawler,
Thoroughly imb1ed with love for 6 poor
down trodden Africans" came here
from the North, and entered upon the
duty as a teacher of colored children.
In the course of time she met Ar
thur Edmunds, black negro fellow,
who acts in the capacity of porter at
the family grocery store of Grier d
Lake. They carried on a correspon-
dence Of tile most affectionate, loving
and endearing kind, as will be seen by
the specimen letters published, be-
| low
Things might have thus gone on in
definitely, and resulted in permanent
union between Miss Amanda Fawler
and her dear Arthur Edmunds, if the
aforesaid Amanda had not been gull
ty of a,little piece of moral insanity.
On Wednesday last Messrs Grier d
Lake received an order purporting to
have been signed by the lady of pro
minent Minister The order was sent
by a servant who had been in her EN-
| ployment, and requested the sending
of several articles of groceries.
amounting to eight or ten dollars
The clerk gave the note a cursory
glance, and not suspicioning any thing,
| sent the goods as requested.
But when he came to copy the order
into his blotter, it occurred to him that
something was not right about it, and
| that it was in the same handwriting of
Arthur love letters which he had been

Lothario. Calling upon Arthur for a
specimen letter (of which he had a
pocket fulD and comparing the writing
with the order, his suspicious were
more fully confirmed. 1t only took a
few moments to fully confirm them by
a conference with the lady from whom
it purported to have come, and finally,
when Miss Amanda was called upon
for an explanation, she acknowledge
having written it, hut claimed to have
had some authority for doing so. This
was all stuff. 4-
| She was at once arrested and sent to
Jail, and at the hour Of writing the
| Grand Jury is consider ng true bill
against her, which will be returned
and the case tried before Judge Cole
