GENERAL NEWS.

A negro boy on the place of Rev. d. P.
Turner, living near Huntsville, Ala, had
his skull broken by the band wheel of q
gin on Thursday last.
Mr.. James A. Benton, of Hatchechub-
bee, Alabama, has grown q new sugar
cane, which he calls the Honey Stalk"
It grows something similar to the Chinese
cane. but the molasses made from it is
vastly superior, and the quantity OF
stalks produced on an acre much greater.
The seed and fodder from it is prolific,
and Ane feed for stock.
Last Monday night negro man went
to the house of Mr.. James 81. Newman,
near Jericho, Alabama, and after few
words with Mrs. Newman, deliberately
shot her dead in her own door.
A shooting sffrsy occurred in Decatur,
Ala last Tuesday between a man named
Swift and Gus. McCann, 10 which the
latter received serious wound in the
thigh.
The Nashville Banner, of the 20.h
inst, prints q lengthy editorial, proving
the numerous outrages which have been
enacted all over the country were done
by well organized band of robbers, and
not by the Ku-Klux Khan.
There appears to be o disposition in
Congress to admit Mississippi to Con-
rressional representation under the de-
feated Constitution. Bingham has in
troduced bill to that end.
The New York papers announces that
yelocipedes are allowed in Central Park.
They are, however, confined to- the
walks, and are not permitted to be
worked among the carriages and against
horses heels on the roadway.
Gen. Robert Toombs, who has been
dangerously i'll, is convalescing, and, it is
hoped, will in short time be in his &C.
customsd good health.
A bill repeating the tenure Of Office
act has passed the House of Representa-
tives by large majority.
The Legislature of Georgia defeated
the bill to seat the unseated negroes by q
large majority. Congress will doubtless
make for them a new Constitution OF
force them to admit the negroes.

seu,ed to compromise for half tho judg-
ment The Crot,ys proposed less sum
$4,000, bat the terms were not ac-
cepted. Some time after these tran
sactions, on the day mentioned,
Crotty, his wife lately married)
and mother-in- law, came to town, and,
after getting we'll "set up" with courage
ous whisky, went to beard the lioness in
he Monroe House. The proposition to
settle was again broached. Angelina
would accept the money, but would not
sign any papers releasing Crotty from
further demands, whereupon the negoti-
atoms we're broken of.
A few minutes thereafter Pat returned,
after being warned that Angeiine could
nut up with no more OF his abuse, ana
again commenced calling her names, and
very indecent ones, too; whereupon tne
eprared girl drew pistol and shot her
seducer through the breast, near the
heart. the ball lodging near his backbone.
Crotty rushed from the house bare
headed. got into his sleigh, and the man
who was with him drove oh; but on
reaching distance but few rods from
the hotel Crotiy expired.
The team returned to the Monroe
House. and great excitement prevailed.
Screams from the unhappy mans wife
and mother rent the air scholars return.
ipr from school, fingered and swelled the
motley throng of people, excited and
crazy, for man had been murdered IN
broad daylight. :.
The girl calmly submitted to arrest,
and was lodged in Jail by Sheriff Gard
ner, who was compelled to keep back the
crowd of Crotty's admirers at the psint
of a Colts navy revolver. They fol-
lowed, however, at long range, shouting
{" murderess," through set teeth and
drunken, savage brains. No attempt
was made to mob the girl, owing TO the
free expressions from hundreds of men
that it "served him right"
Since her imprisonment, Angelina has
been visited by many of the best women
of our town, who have known her in
their own homes as faithful and inno-
cent girl before her fall.
The funeral of Crotty took place last
Friday, and was largely attended by his
numerous relations and acquaintances
