AFTER HIS EXECUTION IN GEOR-
GIA.
JACKSON, GA, March 22.-Four
years ago two negroes were arrested
in Hall County charged with assault
ing a white woman. They were
tried and found guilty. One was
hanged and the other sent to the
chain gang for life. Since then
enough evidence has been found to
satisfy the community where the
crime was committed that the con-
victed negroes were innocent. AS
the man now in the chain gang was
a citizen of jackson County, q resi-
dent Of that county placed the mat
ter before the last grand Jury, and,
on investigation, they decided to re-
quest tho grand jury Of Hall County
to ask the Governor for the negr0's
pardon. There Is no doubt that he
will be freed. a
The jackson County authorities
are also believed to be- In possession
OF facts which will lead to the con-
victiOn of the real criminal, who has
been living all these years within q
few miles VI the scene where the as.
sault was committed and the cOnvic-
ted negro hanged. The crime was
most horrible In details, the victim
making desperate fight with her
assailants. She was finally subject
ed to repeated assaults and left for
dead in q dense wood.
The unfortunate negro who was
hanged died protesting his inn0-
cence, but the cirCumstantial evil
dence against him was 90 strong that
| his story was dtGctoditod. The man
now Ia the chain gang has also al
ways protested his innocence.

George Grace, q boy Of eighteen,
was arrested at Cape May, N. j., on
the 10th inst, charged with having
poisoned his father, mother. two sis

The punishment which Mr.. Grace
administered to him rather hardened
than subdued him.

A BIG FIRE.-An alarm Of fire
was sounded about 8 o'clock Mon
day night, occasioned by the burn
ing of the Huntsville granery in
Hannisville. The granery is con-
nected with the distillerv by a con-
veyor and covered frame gangway,
and it was only by determined and
hard work of both firemen and the
employees at the distillery that the
fire was fought off from the latter
building and confined to the granery,
at times it looked as if their efforts
would prove futile, but with the
steady streams of water thrown
from the plugs and the good work OF
engine, the flames were gotten under
control, and soon after subdued.
The loss on the building is $1,000
and about 1900 bushels of rye were
consumed. The total loss is esti-
mated at over SIT 900, fully covered
by insurance. Operations at the dis
tillery have not been inter- upted.
The origin of the fire is not known.

Setting Hens.

To the amateur we should say, you,
will save much time, much vexation,
and save the lives Of many chickens,
by having your setting hens arranged
on some systematic plan before you
give them the eggs for Matching. There
are many ways to bring this about. You
must have separate room, box or coop
for each setter, to which none of the
others can have access, Laying hens
must also be kept away. Your settlers,
too, must have chance to procure
food and water wheA they choose to
come off for this purpose. Laying hens
are not as apt to get into row
with setter as another setteris. Some
times wosetters will quarrel and fight
till the eggs are broken.
Successful poultry fanciers set hens
! in the evening after dark instead Of by
daylight. They are much more apt to
stick, !" The lantern is very useful
thing in the poultry keepers hands.
There is much that can be done about
the fowl house, and much that can be
learned by lantern light. You can fre-
quently cath fowls 10 examine them for
fany desired purpose when they are on
the roost, even if they are not very tame;
whereas in the day time it may be hard
| to catch them singly and to examine In
to their condition without causing them
q great deal Of fright, and fight, you
know, is antagonistic to thrift.

Current Notes.

The costliest pulpit in the world is
said to be that which is to be construct
ed for the white marble cathedral in
New York. It is to be of Carrara marble, !,
and is erected as an offering of the cler-
gy Of the archdiocese of New York to
Cardinal McC Closkey on the occasion OF
the anniversary of his golden jubilee.
The pulpit will be thirteen feet high,
of an octagonal shape, approached by
seventeen steps to the platform. The
base will be of Westchester marble four
feet wide and thirty nine ieches high,
on which there is to be moulding cor
responding with the colums of the cathe-
dral. On the top of this moulding
there will be acentral column of white
marble, fourteen inches in diameter,
surrounded by eight columns Of colored
marble, with white marble bases and
caps, ornamented with foliage.

This book will stir the world OF the

motto Is modest, being NAPOLEoN's cele-

have never commanded armies in the field
have not committed errors" This motto
is one Of the things that point to General
BEAUREGARD himself as the real author OF
the book-a fact. II ii is fact which will
render the book all the more valuable.
The preface is written by him. In 1t he
endorses all the statements and comments
except the encomiums upon himself-an-
other proof that he Is the real author.

advocates Of constitutional taxation Tor
the support Of the Govcrnment-she I'm,
poeitior, Of duties on imports 80 arranged
IA 10 afford incidental protection 10 OIL
industries and labor Of the United states
The preamble to the drst tariff bill that
was ever passed by tho American Con-
grossly The fathers OF the republic and
the trainers Of she Constitution itsclf--reads
as follows:
.Whcrcas Ii is necessary for the sup
port OF the Government. for the discharge
OF the debts OF the United States, and me
encouragement and protection Of mdn@toc-
lures, that duties be laid on goods, wares,
and merchandise imported" DC.
That tariff was very low one. but the
principle Of protection was recognized.
We claim. therefore, that 1t Is grossly
unjust for Democratic papers to talk as II
the Democrats who do not hold their opin-
ions are unsound. Still more unjust is 1t
to speak OF such Democrats as II they con-
ceded that the others were right. but were
willing 10 sacrifice principle to policy.
There Is nothing OF the sort iuvoived In tne
case. The Democrats thus misrepresented
clam that they arc right; that they are
standing upon the Virginia platform OF last
year; aud that TO follow Mr.. MORRISON Is to
get down from that platform. All that they
ask Is that the Democrats OF the two schools
shall agree to disagree upon the tariff ques-
ton, and to await the action OF the Demo-
cratic National Convention before drawing
lines on that question. Pray, friends and
brethren, cease charging Mr.. RANDALL and
such like leaders with want OF principle.

proach other Democrats because they cam
