ALsroN,s FEE.

THE Governor has just returned
to Atlanta with check for $780,
600 which he received from the
United States government es a par
tial return Of the cxhorbitant amount
paid by Georgia for rolling stock
received at the end If the war from
the United States government. Col.
Bob Aston went to Washington and
succeeded in putting the claim
through both houses just before the
adjournment. For this Bob Aston,
and his associates Gen. Darlington
and Col. Baugh, gets fifteen thous
sand dollars each-s45, 900 for..col>
lecting for the State Sl99, 00O.-
Where our Georgia Senators and Con-
gressmen were all this time that this
money couldn't be collected without
the Intervention of Bob Aston, is a
mystery to us. Aston seems to be
q "biger man" than ell of them.

WILLIAMS REPORT.

Mr.. s. G. WILLIAMS has just made
a report of his recent Investigations
of the revenue troubles in Gilmer,
Fannin and Pickens counties, as
authorized by the Legislature and
commissioned by the Governor. 1t
shows that the people Of that section
have been insuIted. maligned and
cruelty treated. The revenue Off
GERS It appears have had the max
ing of money more at heart than the
punishment Of crime. and according
to their own admissions arrests with
ont resistance were made, showing
that the presence of soldiers we're
not necessary. The citizens were
arrested a. night without an exhibi>
ton of warrants or even informed OF
what it was for, marched so and 100
miles to Cartersville and Atlanta,
placed in jail and then tried without
giving them chance to summon
witnesses. 1t seems in other in
stances that these revenue officers
who make these raids and arrests,
would of their own accord settle
cases and destroy warrants against
alleged vioiators for a money con-
sideration. The people OF those
counties have no doubt been shame>
fully treated and they should cease
to be raided upon, their labor de-
moralized and property destroyed.

FOREIGN NEWS.

AUSTRIA has assured Turkey Of
her pacific intention.
Iris stated that Austria has deter.
mined to occupy Bosnia and Herze'
govina as a precautionary measure
THE English Channel deet has re-
ceived orders to proceed to the Med
iterranean.
OFFICIAL notification has been
made by Turkey of the blockade Of
the whole of the Russian coast of the
Black Sea.
The Russians have established a
torpedo depot at the mouth of the
Pruth, the corps consisting of six
hundred engineers and sailors.
THE blockade of the Black Sea
will be maintained by twenty Turk
ish vessels stationed at the entrance
Of the Bosphorus.
THE Russians were repulsed in at
tempting to force the Sagnule Pass,
east of Kars, as also in their two as
saults on Kars. The less is said to
be heavy.
THE Roumanian Senate, answering
the address Of Prince Milan, declares
that the Senate will never counter
auce any attack upon Turkey.
Nevertheless, they say 1--WE will de-
fend our hcarths if attacked.
IT is said that twenty thousand
South Alabanians have been persuad
ed by the Turks to take up arms on
condition that Montenegro be given
up 10 pluuder. The North Alaba>
mans favor the Montenegrins.
The Russian fleet now in Ameri-
can waters is said to have been dis
patched here as menace TO Eng
land. 1t is expected that John Bull
will think twice about going in to
help the Turks when he sees that
the Russian feet is ready to drive
English merchantmen out of the
American commerce at a moments
warning. AT any rate the Gear has
bis fastest vessels over here and ev-
identity sent them on no holiday err
rand.
IT was a very ingenious device by
which the Russians carried eight
guuhoals overland in sections to the
Danube and put them together in the
river. The superiority of the Turk
ish fleet in the Black sea rendered
it impossible to send them there by
water. This little fleet gives them
control of the lection of the river
where they are to cross. 1t shows,
too, the fullness of Rassia's prepare
.ian for the fight. That this neces-
sity should have been foreseen aud
provided against indicates that other
needs have been equally met. 1t
has been said that the Danube can
not be crossed by pontoon bridges
but a people that can carry eight
gunboats from Moscow to the Dam
ube, and put them in the water in
few days, can build bridge sufficient
for ell military purposes.

ROSWELL RECORDINGS.

Roswell, Ga, May 9TH 1877.
The young people of Roswell bad
quite pleasant little dance at DR..
Stouts' last evening. We we're sor-
nv to notice that Mr.. w. G. D
did not enter into the enjoyment of
the dance. and we found upon inqui-
ry that the reason was that he was
suffering from disabled foot, occa>
stoned by horse having stepped on
bis "pedal extremity" instead of the
ground.
Speaking of accidents we have
another to chronicle. Mr.. T. d. A.
the worthy chairman of the street
committee, while walking around
surveying the progress of some work
he was directing, suddenly felt him.
self falling, down he went into the
red mud, and when he recovered
sufficiently from the shock to rise,
he weighed just about fifteen pounds
more than he did when he fell. This
is good advertisement of the health
full climate of Roswell, for if fell
low gains fifteen pounds in a few
minutes, i, must be good place to
come to.
We wish to ASCERTAIN through the
columns Of your paper whether Mr..
w. Mitchell succeeded 10 getting
home all right last night, as We were
much afraid he would be tripping up
10 his lengthy moustache all the
way.
We are sorry to announce the in

He leaves us for Atlanta the coming
