THE Cornet Band had their illumina-
ton of the park partly interiered with on
last Thursday night. Everything was in
readiness lanterns suspended, tables spread,
stands erected, ice cream prepared, etc,
when in the afternoon a shower of rain fell
throwing things into confusion, and causing
the gathering of the lanterns and disarrang-
ing matters generally. At night however
portion of the lanterns were lighted and
the entertainment opened under fair pros
poets. Some five hundred people paid en-
trance fees, and patronizcd literally all the
stands. The Cornet Band discoursed excel
lent music and the crowd enjoyed them
selves finely Rogers String Band dis
c0ursed music for the dancers and quite a
number participated. 1t was the purpose
of the Band to repeat the entertainment on
Friday night, but again the rain fell, this
time in torrents, dispensing those making
the necessary preparations and putting an
end to any further attempt on that evening
to illuminate, However, we are glad the
boys made it a success financially the first
evening and win lose nothing. Wetrust ut
a later day they will try it again, when,
probably the weather will be more auspic-
ious.

A Horrible Murder.

A most horrible and CHASTITY murder was
committed during Friday night at Defoor's
ferry on the Chattahoochee river, some IL
miles from Marietta Mr.. Martin Deioor
aged 10, and his wife, Susan, 81 years old,
were both murdered while they were sleep
ing in bed. The assassin used an AK and
chopped their necks almost in twain A
half open drawer of table contained un-
molested sack of nickles. Over the door
was fonnd a sack of silver. A chest was
riled and some valuable notes were carried
off by the robber Mr.. Defoor's boots were
found about four hundred yards from the
house, in clump of bushes, beside a pile
of watermelon rinds From this point
hounds were put upon the trail without
success.
Subsequently, colored man named
Aaron Burke, living nine, miles from At
lanta went to the city and informed the
police, that suspicious colored man giving
his name as Asa Morgan had come to his
house wanting employment and secret
place from arrest, as he had to leave Butts
county on account ola difficulty. A squad
under Capt. Starnes went to the old colored
mans house in the country and put Kries'
blood hound on the track of the negro and
soon had him run down and captured. The
negro, when pulled from hole in some
straw, where he had sought refuge, ex-
claimed "You's got de wrong man y lie
finally confessed that he held the lamp
while a white man murdered the aged cou
pie with an AK, and that another negro
watched at the door, After robbing the
house of good deal of money, they separ-
ated. At this writing, the officers are on
trail nfthe white man and the other negro.

A Colored Mans Reply.

MEssRs. EDITORS In the journal Of
the 24th inst, appeared an article under the
canton Come to order, from the pen Of
Marietta's distinguished educator As q
member of the Christian church at which
the article was directed, we deem it duty
TO make an attempt at least to prove the in
Justice done us by the writer. He speaks OF
his varied inquiries as to which of the phil
osophical schools our mode OF worship be-
longs. and affirms he has failed TO be salts
fed. Now it is not surprising that the
learned writer makes this admission, for
though amply versant IN philosophy, an
Gent and modern, religious and prolane,
there is still zone thing needlul'' for the
satisfaction of such inquiries as he would
be pleased to make, which is a knowledge
of that system of Philosophy taught in the
school of which Jesus Christ is Principal,
for it is to that our worship belongs
Again he asks for the missionaries, he
wants to know where they are. Such men
as he fail to support them no matter where
thew are, but portion Of them are dead
and the remainder are civilizing his coun-
try, and if there is any one else behind like
the writer, trying to show themselves witty,
these missionaries are endeay0ring to teach
his kind common sense.
| deny the accusation OF lung pursuing,
throat splitting, and the rest Of his stuff, as
untrue and when he wrote these senti-
ments if he had his right mind he showed
to the community a short conception, and
if he meant what he said, then he is an
infidel. can't believe any man holding
the position of this renowned educator,
would use such expression unless his brains
were unbalanced, and he had better go TO
these missionaries for relief instead Of ex-
aiming the school of reason. My advice
is when ever you write again through this
excellent paper, don t write stuii accuse
we poor heathens wrongfuily no more
seeing us in the dirt, give us aid with words
Of Kindness and not false accusations. II
we are disturbing you, the laws of YOU
country will protect you. As long as We
are together let us life in peace, wrong US
more when we are not guilty.

his annual report to the legislative
Assembly. It's classification of &C
counts and tabular statements are clear
and distinct, and show the financial
condition Of the territory to I've healthy
and highly prosperous. From it We
learn that the whole expenses Of the
late constitutional convention held at
Walia Walla were only e6,920.46.
We think the economy of this con
vention has never been excelled in the
framing of any constitution for any
one Of the new states while the in

The First Chizcn of the Republic

1t is q subject of keen qualification
to every thoughtful citizen that the
Grant movement has spent its force
and viii no longer be felt in American
politics. Not because General Grant
might not have made a fair sort of q
President perhaps very good one,
indeed but because however well he
might have served the country in the
Presidential chair he. can serve it fal
better out Of it.
AS u private citizen General Grant
Is .facHe princeps easily chief among
citizens. His nature, and the nature
of the service he has done the nation;
his experience in public life and ex-
tended travels, alike conspire to secure
him the respect, the admiration, and
what Is better as Il practical force the
attention Of the people. Let it be
known that h. has retired from all
political connection, and has once and
forever refused the use of his treat
name in behalf of any political party,
and his position becomes most com
handing, and his influence for good
on the nation beyond estimate.
AS the first citizen of the republic
the hearts of the peepla would turn
toward him. His utterances, being
those of great experience aud utterly
unseliish, would in a few years become
almost oracular. Lifted above the
partisan levels, he would be stronger
than all partisans, His counsels
would he listened to as those of a wise.
an unselfsh, and an exalted patriot.
Other men can serve the republic as
