Gov. Underwood's Letter in Re.
gard TO MIR. Tilden's Secession
views. lLAt "A. ------
~ BosroS, October q, 1876.

OS9ASsNl NSNCbSA ~ AN''t
Hon. Leri Uaderoood:
DEAR SrR-I have seen il reported in
the papers, from a letter or speech OF
yours, that Gov. Tilden had insisted, in
conversation with you during the Rebel
lion, that as the war was unconstitution.
al, every act in carrying ii on was illegal;
every soldier marching into or occupying
the Southern States was trespasser.
May ask you to inform me precisely
what occurred between you, and whether
such opinions were really expressed by
Gov. Tlden? +? and oblige,
l. Yours truly,
[signedl JOIN N. FORBES.
BURLINGTON, Oct. 25, 1876.
Hon. J. N. FORBES, BoRon:
DEAR StR-T am in receipt OF your
favor Of the 23d inst. During the sum-
mer Of 1854 at Saratoga Springs, had q
social discussion with Hon. S. J. Tilden,
in which he claimed that the Government
Of the United States was 4 confederacy
of States, and not a National Govern
ment. BE took the same ground as the
the Governors Of Virginia and Kentucky
did in 1861, viz, that the United States
Government had no right to march an
army across State against its consent
to prevent q State from seeding, and
that such an act would be illegal, and no
soldier could justify such an act II sued
for trespasS. | coutended that this was q
National Government and not . con.
iederacy, and that the States as such did
mot form tho Government OF the United
States, and hence there could be no seces.
sion, and the attempt was rebellion.
l understood Mr. Tilden's views In this
respect 10 be the same as those Of Cal.
houn, A. H. Stephens, Wade Hampton,
Hill, and other Southern Democrats.
Otherwise, how can he expect the solid
support Of the South?
Mr.. Tilden reproaehed me for my ig-
norance Of the common law, for claiming
that soldiers who marched in obedience
TO orders were not liable TO trespass for
20 doing.
II did not say to him as published,
EDon't talk such treason to me-" ] did
say, Don't talk such nonsense." Our
discussion was quite protracted, and I
only state the substance and drift Of il,
l am mot aware that his views, a. ex.
pressed to me, are logically different from
those Of his Kent letter.
The Democratic party Of New York
took the ground, In 1871, that the United
States had no constitutional power to
build a eun:boat canal around Niagara
Falls in the State Of New York without
the consent Of that State, even II It pos.
sessed the power 10 do It at all,-which
Of course makes the United States subor-
dinGte 10 the States. - ---
lam truly yours,

she did not die. When she had been
tended to, the men took her husband,
tied a handkerchief over his mouth, and
carried his bleeding body out of the
house. There they killed him. Before
he died he begged them to spare his life,
saying: 81 will vote the Democratic
ticket sure"
NO." said one of them, So
your niger heart, you have fooled us
long enough, now you must die"
Having killed the husband the men
next turned to the wife. Her infant
lay at her side, and they cut its throat
from a to ear, and threw its dead
body into a pond neal by. They then
left the cabin and the bleeding childless
widow of their victim. She saw them
no more.

BULLOCK IN ATLANTA.

Gov. Smith employed Mr.. o. f.

proper credentials, sent him on to
New York to arrest ex-Gov. Rufus
b. Bullock Gov. Tilden honored
the requisition and Mr.. FitzsimmonS
and deputy sheriff Clarke, of N. Y,
at Albion, quietly and without re-
siStance made the arrest and brought
Bullock to Atlanta last Thursday
week and Turned him over to Sheriff
Perkinson, Bullock being under in,
dictment for sHinding the State by
the use of the mythical Tennessee
Car Company. Bullock gave bond
for thirteen thousand dollars, with
Tom Alexander, J. 7. Grant, B. +.
Conley, Richard Peters, and J. G.
Peck, as bondsmen. With Bullock
and Blodgett back in Georgia we
may expect a lively campaign. 1t
must not be forgotten that at Grants

FISH PONDS.

1t is computed by reliable authors
tiles, We believe, that one acre of
water, as a fish pond, will raise more
meat (ish) than ten acres of land at
the same expense, taking the aver
age quality in the Southern States,
planting the land in corn to feed
hogs. Even il this should be only
partially true, it is rather remarka>
bic that there are only a few ponds
in the South when there could and
should be as many in nearly every
neighborhood.
The best locations for ponds, are
in the hranch channels just below
active never ceasing springs where
the fall is sufficient by slight dig
ging out, to afford water, after runs
ming dam at the proper point, to
within a few inches of the height Of
the stream Of a depth not less than
five feet in the channel The larger
the area of water, the better, but a
pond twenty or thirty feet wide, by
two hundred long, is quite nice
family pond. After this is all cons
pleted, filled with water and ditched
around, SO as to keep out surplus
water from the hard rains, you may

best to be cut around the dam if
possible, otherwise a board trough,
or race must be so fitted in as to pre-
vent water crevices in the dam.

A CONTRARY MULE.

that he can do nothing with it. Put
him in harness and it is hard TO say

shop and returned home. The own

and 70 lie him for six consecutive days
and nights as hard as he could under

nearly killed himself in the effort,
and had to be carried up stairs to bed,
and his firm belief was that the mule
would die that night, but to his aston

that the mule had kicked to death 4

EXTRAVAGANCE.

Extravaganza and luxury have
much to do with the present hard
times, and the following golden truths
on this subject, which we copy from
that excellent paper the Macon Ieie-
graph, we commend to the serious
consideration Of one and all; "Let
all people and places who feel their
condition particularly cfamped, re
member that ali others feel the same
way. There is 10 exception in any
part Of the United States. All basi-
ness is PROSTATE everywhere and all
people who have no past accumula
tions to draw upon are suffering great
Inconvenience and anxiety. He is
fortunate who is able to command a
decent subsistence, and he is foolish
who INDUCES in chronic discomfort
because he can do no better. Moth
ing better can be done until the res
toration of a general equilibrium. -
Taxes aud expenses have to come
down, and the spirit Of illeness, eX>
travagauce, Injury, speculation and
fraud must be abandoned. Proyi>
dence is instructing the people on
the subject of an honest industry and
frugaIity in such way that few can
evade the force Of the lession."

JOKE. A friend passing along
chicken row" was called into a
store and showed new invention.
Some one in the crowd proposed that
he could hide eggs about the jollers
person that a young man present
could not find. The proposition
was accepted instantly and the
young man turned his back while
the eggs were being "hid," which
were placed in the joker's hat on his
head, and, "sll ready {" was cried
out by the crowd, eager to enjoy the
fun. The finder at once came up,
feeling from boots, pockets, etc, up,
and quicker than you could think
come down on ioker's hat with both
hands, exclaiming -''In your hat !!
in your hat" And such a smash
ing of eggs as then and there occur
red was never witnessed in that city
before. That young limb of the
paw presented quite an unenyiable
appearance with eggs trickling down
his facs.

miles from Harwood, shot his father,
killing him instantly. It seems Mr..
Marcee went into the woods to look
at some horses, and bis son Bud took
his gun and went in the same direc>

move through the thick brush, and
snpposing it TO be panther, he fired
and fed, but was recalled by his
fathers voice. Returning 20 the
spot he found, to his horror, he had
shot bis father, who said, only son,

MILKING Cows CLEAN. There
are various reasons why cows should
be MIXED clean. One is, that if the
is always well done a much
larger quantity Of milk viii be OBJ
tanned than If this work is sighted
Another is, that clean milking tends
to prevent some Of the diseases that
afflict cows which are not properly
MIXED. Still another, and very inn
portant one too, is found in the fact
that the milk which is drawn last is
much more valuable than that taken
first. One man who has made ex~
periments in this line reports that
from the milk obtained at the cons
mencement OF The milking he OBJ
tanned q per cent. of creaoI, while
that which was drawn last gave 80
per cent Now, if the milk which
was drawn last is worth three times
as much as that drawn first, it is
quite an object to milk as clean as
possible. The more cows you milk
greater will be the gain.

GOT 1T AT LAST.

For many days, says the Char
lottesville (Va) Je8erSOnioa, we
have noticed an old colored woman
plodding her way to the post office,
never missing day, aud invariably
returning as she came, without any
mail. She had imbibed the idea
prevalent among these people that
the post office is government insti,
tuition, ard she had a right to exer-
else her new privilege of 'qurin' dar
fur letter. even though she expects
ed nothing, and with a persistence
that was commendable, her face app
peared at the general delivery as
regularly as the mail was opened.
Some person, getting tired of seeing
her trui;less attempt to accomplish
her desires, fixed up letter in HER,
ogIyphics, signed it Jeemes Hlg~
gins. stamped it, and left it to await
her coming. She was there on time.
When the clerk handed out the mis-
sive, shs had no idea it was intended
for her, and looked ali around the
crowd, who are usually at the win
dows, expecting some Of them to take
it but when the clerk insisted that
it was for "Polly Brown" it was
study for physiognomst to see the
variety of expressions that her coun-
tenance underwent. She took hold
Of the precious thing and exclaimed,
Dress de Laud,' and as she back
ed out Of the crowd, with the let,
ter high above her head, her coun-
tenance open from ear to ear, she
calculated, "lse get it Dress de
Laud | knowed de guyvermint was
gwine to gimme 2 letter fore long.
| seed dat letter last night on de can,
dle--dst | did," and she waddled off
down the street hunting for some one
to read it for her She finally got
a gentleman to open it, but as the
writing was entirely unintelligible,
he could do nothing but tell the wri,
ters name. She pondered long
time over the name, to remember
who "Jeemes Higgins" was, and
where she had known him. She
tried several other gentlemen, but
all 10 decipher the hierogIyphics,
At last she said "Well, dat Jeemes
Higgins must be a mighty smart
