From Medley's.


Mr. Editor IL saw in your last issue that
AT least one of your jealous reforin-corres-
Pondenis professes now TO agree with the ideas
OF my letter published in your issue of Sep
tember 5. ] am glad be is showing signs OF
returning faith in Democratic principles
have always contended that there was great
need for reform in the management of our
county and State political affairs, but never
was willing TO mix with our party's oppo-
nents in convention, while they are crying
wolf and at the same time holding fellowship
with the leaders OF the Republican party.
with many Of the people of Medley's wish to
see change in the management of our coun-
ty affairs. We wish to see all of our officers
fIom the highest TO the lowest, have stated
salaries, especially our school teachers and
magistrates; also for our magistrates 10 have
the power 10 settle small offences for instance,
there has been a colored man in Jail from
this district for seven months for forgetting
that about fifty pounds of his colored neigh
bor's meat was not his own, and the same,
am informed will cost the county over Sl00
before he is rugged out 10 his penitentiary
garb. Now If our magistrates had the pow
er to summons Que man and the colored man
another, and if these two with the magistrate
as Chief Judge had tried the case and forth
with carried out their verdict, it would not
have cost the county over FIVE dollars. So, if
my informant was right in the amount Of
cost, it would be saving Of ninety-fve per
cest.
am glad 10 see that your correspondent
speaks so highly Of our nominees. had al
ways hoped he, at least, who has represented
the good people of this county in by-gone
days. would not carry his reform ideas so far
as to forsake his people while their opponents
were exerting themselves TO their utmost to
break the conservative ranks, thinking there
by 10 make their next presiden tial contest
sure; but they are counting without their
host, for our people never were more united
in opposition TO them, but will lend their aid
to needed reform if sought for in our own
fold. lfthese are "A. b. D's." sentiments
our people are with him. The nominees of
the Legislative ticket he must insist are not
TO go TO Annapolis to be mere igure-heads,
but TO make record so they can be Judged
hereafter by the deeds done while in the po-
silions that our people certainly will honor
then with. MEDLEy's.

Escaped From Jail.

On Sunday night last nine pris-
oners made their escape from our
Jail. They were confined in one of
the cages, and by some means had
procured a case-knife and sawed one
of the bars of iron SO as to break it
Off; they then took it and priced
Others off sufficient to make their
escape, one of the bars showing
that it had been sawed nearly half
off for long while. After getting
out of the cage they removed the
sewer pipe, tied their blankets to
the cage and lowered themselves to
the ground. The names and crimes
of those who escaped are as follows:
Bob Hall, col, arson; Archie John
son, col, murder; John Price,
white, horses stealing; Charlie
Johnson, COL, malicious stabbing;
Charlie Warfeld, COL, assault and
battery with intent to kill; Bill
Carneal, col, rape Caleb Bowling,
COL, petit larceny George Bell, col,
cutting with intent to kill.
Mr.. Geo. r. Harris, the jailor,
Immediately had hand bills printed
and posted, offering rewards to the
amount of $3.50 90, and it is thought
the Governor will offer additional
rewards for some three or four of
the prisoners. 1t was no fault of
Mr.. Harris or the maker of the
cage, but is due to the insecurity of
the Jail, and in consequence of this
the jailor is compelled to cOnf1ne
them in the dungeon for safe keep
ing.
On Tuesday Geo. Bell was arrest
ed on the sOuthside of the river, and
was returned to the Jail, and on the
next day Bob Hall returned volun-
tarily, and Thursday night Mr.. a.
b. Jackson, City Marshal of Guth-
RE, captured Bill Carneal and de-
livered him to the JaiIor ON Friday
morning. We have no doubt that
all of the others will be captured
and returned.

The Quarterly Court at its session
on Monday last passed the following
preamble and resolution. We
tender the Court our thanks and
will avail ourselves Of the courtesy
extended:
Whereas, AS the proceedings and
acts of the County Court at its
quarterly terms should be more
generally known to the people of
the county in order that they might
be better informed in regard to
matters that they should be con-
sidered by them as a part and Il
parcel of their own affairs, and
whereas, the said acts or proceed
ings, or the most important part of
the same, should be considered a
matter OF interest to those who are
subscribers to, and readers of, the
county newspapers and all other
citizens of the county. Therefore,
be it
Resolved, by the Quarterly Court
now in session, that one representa-
tive Of each Of the county papers be
invited to seats within the bar at
all quarterly terms of the court, and
that facilities be furnished them for
reporting all such proceedings of
the same as would be of interest to
their readers and to the people gen
orally Of the county.

notoriety, all return to one house

next March. Two years ago, when
a President had to be elected
some thin disguise Of decency was
esteemed necessary even by the
Republican party, and these, the
most shameless of the Radical
frauds, were kept in the back
ground; but reform and decency
are played out now in the Republic
can game. Dirt is trumps, and
these three show a splendid hand.

oaIisshenics aud nrmsic.


The usual winter exhibition at
the Academy came of on Friday,
the 18th inst. The state Of the
streets was shocking and we hardly
anticipated finding an audience at
all, but a considerable number of
seats were filed, and those who had
the fortitude to wade oceans of slush
We're well rewarded with a very en-
joyable evening.
The calisthenic exercises as now
practiced here are simply marvel
Gus in respect Of grace. precision and
beauty, and it is no wonder that our
citizens take so much interest in
them. The gilded youths of Clarks-
vile are delirious with admiration
and even the tempered pulse of
siXty-three l. accelerated several
beats to the minute. Last year
the prize was assigned by the audi
ence; this year it had been award
ed before the exhibition began, and
was presented to Miss Lille Plum
mer for department, punctuality
and drill. She was crowned in the
presence of the audience by Miss L..
Atkins, who had been pronounced
second in merit.
Many young men had visions in
their dreams of wheeling squadrons
of amazons in black and gold.
The musical portion of the enter
tainment had been anticipated with
considerable interest on account Of
the known ability Of Prof. and Mrs.
Meininger who had been engaged
for long time in preparation for it.
The interchangeable labors of this ac-
cOmplished couple cannot be too
highly appreciated by those who de-
sire high aesthetic standard in So
ciety. Not only in the Academy
but in training the GAINESVILLE Phil
harmonic Society the Prof. has
been instant in season and out of
season, and his labors in both de-
partments were publicly recognized
at this concert, for the Philhar-
monies aided the young ladies in
the prodution of some splendid cho-
ruses. The Phantom chorus from
SOnnambula and some others, were
HafiyovaH in =, STOIa that x.yotxII ,,nk
have disgraced the most famous
choral organizations in the country.
Prof. Meininger's composition, the
G. G. G's March we know, from a
study of the score which he
cOurteously presented us, to be q
fine work, but the audience were
not able to critically appreciate its
merits on account of the fact that
Dick Jackson's drum ran away
with him, and knocked it all into a
cooked hat.
We have scarcely left ourselves
space to notice the solo singing,
which introduced to us several
beautiful voices admirably trained
among which we must make room
for Miss Eddie PostOn's beautiful
waltz song in which she evinced
powers of execution which promise,
when further developed, to make
her a prina donna.
We are glad to learn that at the
request Of many who were present
the concert will be repeated with
some changes in the programme on
Friday, the 3lst inst, when it is
hoped that the weather will admit
of a larger audience.
