the passengers.
AT Palatka Saturday night last Mar
shall Manucy succeed d in capturing WI
ley Williams, who is supposed to be one CT
the burglars who have been operating 80
successfully in Palatka for the past few
weeks. Wiley is well known about town
as the porter of the Sanford House, and
when arrested he was seen running from
the house of Mrs. Craddock, who lives on
Lemon street. In default of$300 bail he
was committed to Jail to await the action
| OF the grand jury at the fall term of the
circuit Court. The officers are watching
other suspicious, characters, ana no doubt
fother arrests will follow this one.

News: Theophilus Higginbotham, ESQ.,.
one OF the Oldest and best known resi-
dents of this portion of the county, who
Tor several years past has superintendent
Col. Harris Murphy Island grove, has
been suffering for long time with what
is now found to be cancer on his left
cheek, near the eye. He has OF late
grown exceedingly weak, and is now con-
! fined to his bed. Last Saturday the Rev.
Mr.. Spencer, Baptist minister who re-
sides in this vicinity, and who possesses
a considerable knowledge OF medicine,
undertook the treatment OF the case,
kplying remedy which he believes will
eventually eradicate the cancer, he having
lie successfully treated his wife for a
similar disease. Mr.. Higginbotham ex-
presses himself as feeling much better.
About ten days ago as the Jacksonville,
Tampa and Key West train drew up at
the station OF Spring Garden, Conductor
Bently and Baggage Master Barnes spied
| an enormous gopher some fifty yards from
the track. They succeeded in capturing
him and carried the huge brute to the
baggage car, where he has been ever
since. He seems to be perfectly re-
conciled to his captivity and is as
~much at home in the baggage car as he
ever was on the sand hills of Spring
Garden. He pays the mail agent and eX-
press messenger visits regularly, and is al
ways cordially welcomed This gopher rs
possessed with immense strength and can
turn an ordinary trunk around with one
+ of his fore paws, and Conductor Bentley
amuses himself and the boyS on the train
by exhibiting the amazing powers of his
kpet by placing the gopher in the middle OF
the floor and standing on his back. He
then makes him walk arOundth baggage
car. Old citizens say be is the Oldest
| gopher that has ever yet been seen.

of executive rewards for several years
past. For a long time now the eXecu-
tive has been limited by law IN these re-
wards to $500 in capital otfenses and $3.50
in offenses of a less grade. During the
Bullock regime the rewards were almost
invariably large, and in some cases
amounted TO a small fortune. 1 note
some of the large ones.
A reward of $4,000 was offered and paid
for the arrest and delivery to the Sheriff
Of SpaldIng county of Jim Brown and
Lewis Travis. A similar reward was of
tered and paid for the arrest and delivery
Of Thomas and Rufus O'Neal.
A reward OF 81 900 was paid for the APP
prehension and delivery to the proper au-
thorities of Dago Valiant. A similar re-
ward was paid for John Putnam.
A reward Of $1,000 was paid for Thomas
K. Finch.
A reward of $4,000 was offered for the
arrest and delivery to the Sheriff of Ham
cock county of one James Oxford. charged
with the murder of John Taylor. The
proclamation alleged that Oxford was re-
leased from jail by band of Confeder-
ates. This reward was afterwards paid.
April 3 reward Of $4,000 was offered for
the capture OF the murderer or murderers
of George w. Ashburn, of Muscogee.
The reward was really $4,000 for the first
one captured, and $1,000 each for the
others, principals or accessories.

sons engaged in the murder of DR.. Ben.
Ayes, Republican Representative from
Jefferson county.
A similar reward was offered for each
OF the persons engaged in the assault on
William Hardeman, of OglethOrpe county.
There were numerous other rewards OF a
similar character, but they do not appear
ever to have been paid.
A reward OF $4,000 was offered for the
persons engaged in stealing the ballot-boX
in Calhoun county. This, with many other
rewards, was subsequently revoked.
Some of the gentlemen charged with car
rying off the ballotbox in Calhoun are
still living and among the most highly
respected citizens OF the State.
One OF the last executive rewards of any
magnitude offered by the department was
$500 for the capture Of Rufus b. Bull

Albany News: The Atlanta Journal,
speaking of the campaign. says: "As
this is altogether family quarrel, in pro-
cess or proper settlement, let no outsider
presume to interfere; If he does there will
be chaos sure enough-for himp Fami-
ly quarrels are usually the hardest TO set
tie. Breaches made are scarcely ever
healed. This family fuss in Georgia was
altogether unnecessary. The Democratic
party-one in sentiment. one in purpose.
one in patriotism, one in the hearts of the
people-wlll never exist again in Georgia
as it has existed in the past. When per-
sonalism supplanted patriotism party
unity and party love received a wound
which will never heal as long as personal
ism holds ITS SWAY.

About sixteen years ago Rev. +. z.
Perdue was officiating at Atlanta as
pastor OF the Christian church. There
was some dissatisfaction in the congre-
CATION, which resulted in a call being ex-
tended Rev. Thomas M. Harris. He ac-
cepted the call and remained with the
cnufch four or i've years, but there was
stlll dissatisfaction, mainly on the part of
friends of Rev. Mr.. Perdue, and in the In-
terest or harmony he resigned the pastor
ate. DIR. A. q. Harris was then called
ana he occupied the pulpit until October
last, when Rev. Mr.. Harris was recalled.
1t may be supposed that the dlssatisfac-
ton which had apparently existed in this
congregation did not entirely disappear
at this juncture. it seems to have in
creased, the friends of Mr.. Perdue
and Rev. Mr.. Thomas forming union as
against the element supporting Rev. Mr..
Harris. A few Sundays ago another cleo
ton was held, and Rev. Mr.. Harris
was called for another year by a large
majority of the vote. On the Sunday fol-
lowing the opposition, numbering about
Is members, decided to withdraw their
membership and start a new church. Ac-
cordingly they presented letter signed
by the thirty-eight, setting forth the exist
ing state Of things and expressing the
conviction that 1t would be better for the
church If they Withdrew and organized
another church. They asked for letters
of withdrawal and the prayers and good
wishes of those who remained. The let.
tiers were granted and the separation was
effected in alriendly spirit. Last Sunday
the new wing held divine service in Music
Hail, on Broad street. They have par.
italy organized the new church, but have
not Yet selected q pastor. Rev. James S.
Lamar, who is well known in the State
