Our readers will remember u
account last week concerning the
cowhiding of Rev. B. H. Charles of
Fulton, by young Eugene Boulware
Of that city. The case develops as
follows: L. W. Boulware was tried
before Mayor Smell on charge of dis
turblng the peace by threatening Rev.
Mr.. Charles on Monday. The trial
came off Wednesday, and a large
crowd was in attendance. N. D.
Thurmond, Esq, prosecuted. His
speech was applauded, but the Mayor
promptly repressed it. Capt. Blount
and Col. Lewis defended. The Mayor
reserved his decision till after the
trial of T. A. and Eugene Boulware
before a jury. The jury fined Eugene
$50, and T. A. was fined 500. Thurs
day morning, Mayor Smell announced
his decision that 1. w. should pay
$50 file. The sum total, including
costs, is about S210. Bauer's Hail
was crowded or Saturday at 1 1-2
p. m. in respone to a call for an in
dignation meeting, signed by Sc citi-
zens T. B Harris was elected chair
man, and Prof. J. j. Rice secretary.
N. D. Tburmond, Col. Reed, T. A.
Russell, VIM. Harrison, John H.
Jameson, DR.. Humphreys and VIM.
/. Bell were appointed to draft reso-
lutions expressive Of the sense of the
meeting. Speeches were made by
Rev. w. H. Marques, Rev. Mr.. Penn,
Prof. Hersman, S. I. Harrison and
Rev. J. Y. Blakey. The report of
the committee was unanimously adopt
ed by a standing vote. The press
generally, and especially that of
neighboriDg counties, was requested
to publish the report. The preamble
gave the origin and history of the
trouble. and the resolutions denounc-
ed the cowhiding as brutal, dastardly
and cowarily. 1t was resolved that
the Messrs. B. deserved the highest
penalty allowed by law. Representa-
tive Bailey was called upon to intro
dace an amendment to present law
increasing the penalty against any
young "a who shall cowhide an old
man.

Rev. Sylvanus Cobb thus writes in the
Boston Christian Freeman: We would by
no means recommend any kind of medicine
which we do not know to be good. particular
ly for infants. But of Mrs. WinslOw's Sooth-
ing Syrup we can speak from knowledge: in
eur own family it has proved blessing in
deed, by giving an infant troubled with colo
pains, quiet sleep and unbroken rest at night
Most parents can appreciate these blessings.
Here is an article which works to perfection,
and which is harmless: for the sleep which 1t
affords the infant is perfectly natural and the
little cherub awakes as Upright as button.
And during the process of teething, its value
is incalculable. We have frequently heard

lowed. the eleven votes OF the State will
be lost to Hancock There is now talk of
meeting next Wednesday. which is an
absurdity, as the law distinctly prescribes
the first Wednesday of the month. The
only instance on record at all like this is
the well-known Wisconsin case, where in
1856 the assembling of the Electoral Col
lege was delayed for day by a heavy
snow-storm. When the vote came to be
counted, the vice-president decided all de-
bate out of order, and declared the result,
giving the vote Of Wisconsin to General
Fremont, for whom it had been cast. 1t
may be a question whether Congress
would not even now count the Georgia
vote if the Electoral College should meet.

Of the State voted, and the failure to have

President HAYES, at the dinner of the St.
