OBITUARY.
In Memory Of Andrew G. Martin.


There Is 4 sad and solemn warning 10 all in
the death OF an Old friend. There s a deep,
quiet voice in the vacant chair, and the name
that has lost its owner; a voice that recalls To
our memory the kind and gentle heart, the
happy, genial face, and the affectiOnate nature
OF a good man and beloved fellOw-citizen who
has passed away. Such 3 man was Mr.. Az
DREW q. MARTIN, who departed this life at his
residence, Canoe Station, EScambia county,
Alabama, on the 10th of August, ls74, in the
4lst year Of his age, leaving behind a wife and
four children to mourn the loss OF a good has-
band and affectiOnate father.
Mr.. MARTIN was born at Lebanon, Tenn,
whence he moved % Alabama in 1859, since
which time he has resided in this State.

the case will be argued in the next court,
and if the supercedeas Is sustained, we will
apply for a mandamus and force 4 special
tax TO secure tie amount Of our claim.
1--WE hear a good deal said about these
Alden bonds, but the fact is, when they
come before the courts they are as good as
any other bonds. To be sure The Morris
and Kercheval bonds are not fought by the
city, and they are received in payment of
taxes, while the Alden bonds are not. and
these are the only differences in the bonds.
and these differences amount to nothing i n
the courts.
"The city has made a great mistake in
d%ishonoring the Morris bonds. Until re-
Gently it has seemed to be the policy of the
city government to hold the Morris bonds
as s'gilt edged securities, which
could be implicitly relied upon by
the people. This was a very wise policy,
and up to last July, / believe, Morris bonds
were always paid promptly, Is they fell
due, but since that time they have been
~dishonOred, and now the city has no '1gilt-
edged securities" and her bonds are not
considered very desirable property, as no
man can tell when they viii be paid
The reporter thanked Mr.. Smith for the
information given him, and the interview
terminated.

by the Governor.
Mr.. Bennett Mason, the husband Of the
lady who was outraged neal Layergne, on
the 2Sth ult., was in the city yesterday.
He went before Maj. Wilkes, Gov. Browns
secretary, and made 2 statement which con-
tanned the testimony Of his wife.
Mrs. Mason says that a negro maG APP
parently between so and 50 years of age,
about five feet and ten inches high, weigh
ing about 200 pounds. with a mole OF scar
on one side Of his face, came to her house
on Saturday the 2Sth ult. She was sitting
on the porch sewing when the negro came
up, and asked her if Mr.. Mason was at
home. She replied that he was not, that
he had gone away.
The negro then asked when Mr..
Mason would return, to which she
responded that he would not be absent
very long. He next asked now far It was
10 Franklin, and upon her replying that it
was fifteen or sixteen miles, lie asked if
she had anything TO eat in the house. She
answered that size had some cold meat and
bread, and got up TO get some for him.
When she started into the house he struck
her a blow which felled her TO the floor.
In trying to get upshe staggered towards
the bed, the negro draging a pistol upon
her. WhereupOn she tried to get out a knife
which shs had in her pocket; her assailant
then got out his knife and cut her in the
arm, infiicting a cash thereon four inches
long. He then caught hold of her, throw
ing her ON the bed, putting a quilt
over her head and accomplishing his pur-
pose. She did not remember anything
else until she tried to get up and walk,
when she fell to the floor. She called for
help and an old negro woman came TO her
assistance. Her husband came back about
one hour a~fterward, and learning the facts,
started in pursuit of the negro, but failed
to find him.
Gov. Brown has offered a reward Of $500
for the negro's arrest.
