Albert Pike.

| but reared in Newberry Mass, had been prominent in Washington before the war. His "Hymns to t he gods' originally published in Blackwood were regarded as the finest specimens of American po- etry aud he was ell.known at the National capital as a prominent freemason, as a careful lawyer, as a bon vivant. He was proverbial- ly careless in money matters, but he made vast sums, one fee in Il case for the Indians being over S1OO.0OO. His house was fitted up elegantly, and hls library was of rare and standard works, many of them imported. It excelled in the standard English authors, and there were thousand volumes in French. Besides this he had some rare pictures and the finest engra- wings ever published. Nor was this all. One room was devoted to philosophical apparatus, and the natural sciences were ia miliar to him.
 Many did not understand him and disliked or rather sneered at him. "He has no common sense,' says one. Why? Me spends all his money for books, pictures, wine and sport. Another said there was something wrong or Pike would have been a great man in the political world. The truth is, he cared nothing for wealth except to spend it, nothing for fame except as it came, and nothing for politi. cal preferment.
 On the breaking out of the war Pike went into it more as if driven in than going willingly. He made a speech at Little Rock in the win ter of 1860 before the legislature, which portrayed the dangers of secessi on in vivid colOrs. When secession was resolved upon he went with his adopted state. He was appointed by the convention, commissioner to the Indians Jeff Davis also gave him q like commission. This led to his raising an Indian brigade for the Confed crate service. He got along Very well until Hindman came to Arkan sas to take control. Hindman who was ambitious, reckless and the in. carnatiOn of seltishness, took sup, lies and money sent to Pike and on their way to him. This led to quarrel. Hindman sent 8 gard to arrest him, but Pike got tc  Montgomery and saw Davis Holmes was was sent to sepercedt Hindman and heal the breach, bu, Hindman ipocnlated Holmes witt his views and Pike had to fight them both At last he resigned hl, military position in disgust. H. was then one :he judges of the Supreme Court of Arkansas.
 After the cessation of hostilities Gen. Pike was invited by his Ma sonic brethren at the north to visit them and he was received with open arms. He devoted himself to the propagation of the Scottish Rite of Masonry, having been chosen before the war, Sovereign Grand Commander ofthe Southern Jurisdiction and made Washington His headquarters.

COTTAGE HOTEL DID NOT SELL.
IrjunctIOn Refused-The Case Carried to
the supreme Court.

IrjunctIOn Refused-The Case Carried to
the supreme Court.
From the Louisville (Gal Nelos and FnDer.
For over two years an effort has been
made to sell the Cottage hotel at Wadley.
Mr.. William Donovan and Mr.. White h.
smith, of Emanuel county, have each
foreclosed mortgage against the hotel,
and leyies made and advertisements run
four or live times to sell; but the case has
been stubbornly fought, and a sale never
effected. The land was to have been sold
Tuesday under Il. ia. in favor OF w m.
Donovan, but an Injunction to stop
the sale was asked OF Judge Carswell,
and he heard the case Monday even
ing. The two grounds Of complaint
are, first, that by fraud moneys belong
ing to Mrs. 5. A. Doyle, the complainant,
and minor heirs OF the estate of her first
husband were invested in the hotel, and
that they have lien on said property for
their money superior to the liens of the
two mortgages, and she prayed that q
decree to that effect be rendered. And,
second, that the Sheriff is proceeding
Illegally to sell the land at the market
house instead of at the court house door
as prescribed by the code. Cain IL Polhill,
representing MIR. Donovan, showed
tudb 9oAG5 nave bdhGu HlACG az thO
market house as long as our oldest
citizens can recollect. Mr.. A. b. Walker,
who is 81 years old. made affidavit that all
public sales have taken place at that place
as far back as he can remember, which IS
in 1911. Judge Diehl has been In the
county 81 years, and saws all sales were
at the market house. And so did Mr.. W
5. Alexander testify who is familiar with
sales back to 1925, and who was Deputy
Sheriff and Sheriff for eight or ten years
from the year 1896. The testimony Of Mr..
Jesse T. Mulling, who IS II years old, was
also to that effect. Hecan remem Der back
many years, and was Sheriff and Deputy
Sheriff Of the county from lS46 to 1872,
from that date TO 1873 was Deputy Sheriff,
and from that date 1879 was Sheriff; and
he says all sales were at the market
house. And our present Sheriff, ripe and
mature in the flush and beauty of youth,
LOOKS back to the time when ''the memory
of man runneth not TO the contrary" and
says all sales have been made at the mar
ket house-especally since he's been
Sheriff. From these facts the learned
counsel argued that there must have
been an old local law allowing sales at
the market house. Mr.. +. II. Sattold, of
Sandersville, argued for the complainant.
Judge Carswell refused the injunction,
and the case will be taken to the Supreme
Court. Messrs. Cain 4 POlhill put the
sale off until the case is heard in the
upper court. And so we will all wait TO
see if the market house Is the place to sell
land, ETC., as well as beef and turnips.

The Railroad Commissions Adver-


AtL1ntd (GG.l cor. Macon Telegram.
In regard to the new rates prescribed
by law for advertising the circulars for
the railroad commission, of which mem
ton was made IN this CORES pOndence
several days ago, the Commissioners have
had discussion over it, trying 10 devise
some way to avoid what might prove to
be troublesome matter. They have no
authority to approve these bills, unless
the charges agree with the new rate.
While they are OF the opinion hat the old
charge was fair and reasonable, a ceTtiti-
cate to that effect by them would not be
recognized by the Comptroller, as the ac-
counts would appear upon their face con-
trary TO law. Tines commission will put the
papers that are now doing the printing on
! notice of his decision OF the Comptroller
before they do any more Of this work. They
will suggest that the bills be made out in
accordance with the law, and when the
next Legislature meets they Will recon-
mend its change to more just and
reasonable rate, and likewise recommend
that the papers be paid the proper amount
for the printing that may DC done in the
meantime. In a talk Wednesday with
one OF the Commissioners on this subject
he expressed the opinion that the amend
ment was instigated by parties who were
unfriendly 10 the commission, and IN
tended TO bring them TO grief in the event
the papers should refuse the advertising
at the legal rate. Under the law
these circulars must be printed in GER
tain localities. II there are competing
newspapers in a place the commission
would probably have no difficulty in nav
ing the circulars printed aL the new rate.
But in several Of the cities designate
there is now only one paper published.
The circulars would have 10 be published
in this paper, unless the complication, if
II should arise, induce enJerprising par
ties TO start new paper % iii a long
felt want.
In event that any trouble should come
up over the matter, / received the impress
sion from one Of the Commissioners that
they would probably advance the amount
needed out Of their own pockets, in the
hope Of being reimbursed by tne next
Legislature.

He Denies the story of His Arrest by
DirEy Cossacks.

From tho CGrteysgiIJe Ga, CoUraat.
We have had the pleasure of peruslng
a private letter from our clever county
man, Gen. Z. Nj. B. Young, Consul to st.
Petersburg, Russia. He writes IN a cheer
full mood, and his many friends will be
glad to know that his general health is
good, and that he is very pleasantly sit
uated. He asserts that he IS as well
treated in his new home as he has been in
his native State. just as expected, the
iOYial General has made friends with
every body, and everybody, from the high
est TO the loves treat MIN with much re-
spect and make it as pleasant 5 possible
for him. He will, as soon as spring opens,
visit the several cOnsulships over his do
main, which will require considerable
travelling. He anticipates a most eDjOya-
bic trip, as well as an extended one.
A few months ago an article appeared
in the newspapers of the country to the
effect that the General has been arrested
by two dirty COssacks for failure to have
a passport on his way TO Berlin. The
General denies the whole story, and a
letter from him, dated on the same day
the occurrence is SAID to have taken
place. is written at Moscow, 1000 miles
away.
The General will probably be at home
in the fall and winter. His friends are
anxious to see him back again. and his
return will be hailed with pleasure by

An Unfortunate Oversight.

Fran ne Madison (Gd.) AqdisORiaH.
General Consideration was created
yesterday by the discovery OF clerical
error in the registration bill which de-
bars Morgan county the privileges Of the
statute. and may result In the withdrawal
of the netition asking for an election. IL
seems that Morgan county is named IN
the bead notes Of the bill. but omitted in
the bill proper. This omission Is said TO
be fatal for Morgan, and as there is a
great negro majority the Prohibitionists
see that their chances OF winning the vic
tory are considerably lessened, unless
this vote can be restrained by a registra-
ton law. The Comptroller has been
written to, and In his reply stated that
there was no registration law for Morgan
county. We may or may not have an
election on prohibition.

Senator Ingalls,. under the head of
"Notes and Comments in the North
American Review, has an article fay-
oring the joint resolution proposing
an amendment to the constitution of
the United States, substituting the
30th of April for the 4th of March as
the common cement of the presidential
term. His reasons are that the adop-
ton of the new date will shorten the
interregnum of nine months during
which congress is not organized.
1t would add two months to
the closing session of every con-
gress. 1t would give the president a
chance to breathe after the campaign,
aud finally il would give fair weather
for Inauguration day instead of the
riot of the elements which prevails in
early March. Senator Ingalls, con-
cludes: The only objection thus far
urged against the amendment is that
il will give two additional months of
power to the present administration.
Whether this argument will appeal
most strongly TO Democrats or Repub-
licans does not appear. The presi-
dent seems to be regarded with equal
indifference by his friends and by his
enemies" The joint resolution has
passed the senste.-Chsmpion.

AN ArcHIsoN WHlsKEY CASE.

The jury in the Byran Smith whis-
key case brought in a verdict of not
guilty at seven O'Clock tonight. The
case was fought from "Wednesday
until 2:30 Yesterday, when it was
given 10 the jury. County Attorney
Gilbert prosecuted and Jackson aud
Royse defended. There is 40 doubt
that sales of whisky were proved and
there should have been convicti"n on
three counts. Several of the jurymrn
admit that guilt was proved, but say
that proof was OF sales a $40 CONNER
cial street, but the allegation in the
information charged 7IS, and on this
technicality a verdict of acquittal was
agreed upon. The defendants letter
and bin heads were produced to prove
that the number was $50, although
Jerry NcCarty aud other witnesses
swore to 7lS.-Atchison Champion.
