g c w the statesman hancock — nearly every day something is brought to light bearing upon the character of gen hancock and showing how patriotic and wise our soldier statesman has ever been the mure his re cord is ventilated the more he appears to merit the profound respect and esteem of his countrymen his utterances whether public or private arc always on the same line he ever exalts lhe constitution and the laws and pleads for harmony good will and reconciliation between the sections his letter to general sherman written hastily with the freedom which one officer uses in his intercourse with a brother officer breath es throughout a spirit of patriotism worthy of the better days of the republic while his military orders and public letters while commander ofthe department of the gulf stamp him as a man whose name might well be mentioned along with those of washing ton jefferson and jackson — pal observer ilenrnel v johnson dead augusta august 17 — ex-governor herchel y johnson died at his residence in jefferson county ga last night in the 68th year of his age he was a presidential elector and judge in 1844 united states senator in 1s46 and governor of georgia from 1853 to 1857 he was also the democra tic candidate for vice-president with dou glass in i860 and a member ofthe seces sion convention in georgia in 1861 when he opposed vigorously the policy of leaving the union ; in 1863 was elected to the confederate states senate aud presided over the state constitutional convention in 1865 in i sou he was elected united states senator but was not permitted to take his seat in 1873 he was elected a judge ofthe state whicli position he held at the time ofhis death the great advance of agriculture in georgia is indicated by the fact that up to 1874-75 the cotton crop of that state was only about 500.000 bales now it is about k)0,000 this is due in a great measure to the nse of fertilizers for the season of 1875-76 there was inspected in that state 60,000 tons of fertilizers for 1876-77 80,000 tons for 1877-78 108,000 tons and fur the present season 1879-80 133.000 tons averaging the cost per ton at 40 georgia paid out last year 5 j 20,000 for fertilisers her cottou crop at 45 a bale will bo worth about 40,000 ; 000 the crop of 1875-76 at the same | rate was worth about 22,500,000 this shows the value of fertilizers when judi : ciously applied ral observer misceiii_a3teous how the benders died the story of a man who says he helped to l-j.ieli them — pursued by forty arm ed men captured tied to trees and shot to death — dying with curses on tlieir lips a recent dispatch published in lhe ob server stated tbat a correspondent of the chicago times writing from oswego la bette counly kansas declares that the bender murders are dead and that he helped to lynch them several years ago tliey lived upon the highroad through the prairie and in tbe floor of their din ing room was a trap door which wheu opened precipitated the intended victim into a well where kate and her father ex ecuted them tliey had murdered in this way a great many travelers dr york j was the last who came to their house and disappeared the full story of the correspondent is now at hand and i.s as follows when search was instituted for the body of dr york in april 1873 suspicion was direc ted against the benders and contrary to general belief a close watch was kept on them for a while ihey must have been avvire of the surveillance for at the tirst ! opportunity they decamped they bun dled their goods into two wagons and start ed for indian territory they crossed over into montgomery county and squat ted near the verdigris kiver to await de velopments the distance from their farm was something like twenty miles john jr or john sr made daily trips back to the vicinity of cherryvale and took observa tions lt was tlieir intention to return if the excitement should blow over but if it continued warm they would go on as i originally planned they knew of the i discovery of their crime within an hour afier the bodies were dug out of their shallow graves and lost no time iu s i i - iug their tents ihey struck out for the wesi bauk ol thc river and started south ward post haste their flight soon be came a panic ami to add to their discom fiture one ot their wagons broke down packing what they could of thi load on heir horses they piled up what was left set lire to il and httri ied en meanwhile a vigilance committee had ui formed the \ igilantes did not num ber nuue than a 100 men all told but tbey meant business as the sequel proved it was my good or bad fort une to be one ot tin elect scouts were sent out in all di rections and within forty-eight hours of j the departure uf iin benders from their ! camp in tin next county the fact was duly | reported tu us about forty of usorganiz i ed into a pursuing party and started after i tbe butchers once on their trail wc had no difficulty in following it tbe murder ous quartette had.taken to the open coun try west of tbe river but were keeping within convenient distance of the thick timber that grow in the valley watered by this stream they were expecting pur suit and and hoped to escape by losing themselves in tliis timber if il came to the worst as we proceeded tbe trail fresh ened and ere long we came across the half consumed ruins of the wagon left by the benders iu their flight burdened as tliey were with much cum brous baggage they had not been able to make very great speed but they had used every possible effort to put space behind them it was li o'clock on a hot sultry may afternoon tbat we came in sight of the party they saw ns as soon as we came from the cover and abandoning everything they broke for the forest they plunged into the woods and scattered we were close upo'i their heels however and they did not succeed in eluding us long the old man and his wife and kate were under arrest in less than au hour john jr was more fortunate thau the other members of the tribe for he con trived to evade us for an hour longer but he was at length run to cover and forced to surrender every one of them showed fight but with the exception of kate they all weak ened when it came to the scratch she emptied every chamber of her revolver into our faces but her aim was bad and she did no serious damage beyond maim ing one of our horses and clipping a lock of hair from my temple the bullet rais ed a ridge along tho skin the mark of which shows to this day she finally suc cumbed to superior strength but to the last inaiutiaued the same dare-devil reck less demeanor having captured the as ! sassins the question now arose what are we to do with them ?" some were for taking them back and letting the law take its course the advocates of this liue of policy were largely iu the minority there ; were those among us whose relatives had • fallen victims to the deadly hammers and knives of the wretches and they would i not listen to the suggestions of the con servative element they threatened to do some killing then and there if their i ° demands for instant veugence were not regarded no one would have offered a i very strenuous opposition if they carried ' out their threats but it was thought best • to do the job up after the most approved form obtained iu the courts presided over i by judge lynch the prisoners were ac , cotdingly arraigned and asked what they had to say in their defense the old wo i man was sulleu aud ugly but the two meu showed signs of falteriug had they j been left to themselves they would have ; made full confessions beyond a doubt kate perceived this and thinking it would ' ! please the vigilantes too much to bear confessions she fell to cursing her broth ; er and father for their cowardice they | took it sullenly at first but soon some thing of ber reckless spirit infused them j and they too joined in the tirade even the old woman chipped iu occasionalh and her appearance indicated that she wholly approvedof the family demonstra tion when charged with the murders laid at tlieir doors the answer wasa curse followed by more curses and then a vol ley a fusillade of curses and ribald abuse ' our court went tbrongb with the form prescribed and then pronounced the seu j tence of death the announcement waa received with jeers from the hardened criminals who had determined to brave it out to the last it was decided that the murderers should be shot as it would take too much time to haug them the sun was already nearly down aud the shadows of approaching night were deepening there on the borders of tbe j forest the cruel killers were tied to sap ! lings and told to prepare for death one ■ of our mini ber wbo had not quite forgot i ten ids early education undertook to of fer a prayer but kate spit in hia face ' while lie was addressing the throne ot j grace and he quit riglit in the middle of a sentence and drew off in disgust the ! four died with curses on tlieir lips hard ened and unrepentant to the last tliere in that lonely dismal spot away beyond the confines of civilization they met a righteous retribution with their souls black with crime and murder their executioners treated them better than they treated their innocent victims they were killed quickly and painlessly not butchered brutally to be sure not much time was wasted in burial but it j was growing late and the vigilantes had ! a long ride before them a hole made by the displacement of the roots of a fal len cottonwood wa.s made a little larger and deeper and the bodies thrown in and hastily covered with loose earth rocks and brushwood this was all there was to the funeral on reaching the level again the eli'ects of the benders were stacked and burned as a sort of an offer ing to heaven we then proceeded north ward seperating before reaching the set tlement each seeking his home quietly rbere was no blow made about our achievement each man keeping his own counsel the secret was well kept and and it was weeks before outsiders stopped prowling around in search of the benders all for love new york herald a young man and woman unmarried have in a xew england city been loung ing about in the houses of absent rich citizens eating drinking and stealing and now we are told that tlieir affection for each other has gained for them the sympathy of the towns-people it is time that bounds be placed to sentimen tal nonsense on the subject of love for the public feeling on the subject threat ens to underinind every moral and social virtue a majority ofthe people talk and act as if love were a sufficient excuse for any crime and as a reciprocal passionate attraction between meu and women de serves to be dignified by the name of love yet most ofthe people who talk this sort of nonsense are last to admit its applica tion if they happen to be sufferers by it if the young man implicated in the con temptible thefts alluded to really loved his feminine companion he would not have made a fellow burglar of her ; he would have respected her too much to lead her into vulgar carousings he would have endeavored to raise her in the respect of all with whom she might ever come iu contact instead of allosving and assisting her to fix enduring blight upon her name any one who is inclined to accept the infatuation of these young people for each oilier as palliation for their offence should make haste to inspect his honesty and affections for both are sure to need a great deal of cleaning and repairing be fore they can in the least be worthy of their names at last the great cathedral of co logne is complete the artist put the finishing touches on the dome last week and the structure which catho lic europe has been contributing to for six hundred years is now finished it was founded in 1248 at various times work on itwassuspended when tiie great reform ition started by mar tin luther swept over germany it was abandoned entirely and for a great period it was a matter of doubt whether its construction would be re sumed but with the indomitable will and perseverance which has ev er characterized the catholic church the task was takenup and littleby lit

carving and orna ' mentation the four seasons the late general grimes the talented editor and sterling gentleman henry a london esq in the last issue ofthe chatham rec ord pays a high tribute to the soldier ly qualities of the late general grimes in an editorial of length he says it was our good fortune to have been intimately acquainted with gen grimes and we desire to express our tribute of affection and regard for so true a friend so brave a soldier and so high toned a gentleman he was the soul of honor and as sincere as he was bravo in him north caroli na has sustained a grr-at loss with out any exception whatever bryan grimes showed less symtoms of fear than any man we have ever seen it mattered not how thick the death dealing bullets or the shrieking shells might fall around him he was cool and calm in giving his orders and in leading his men in the rushing charge would face with unflinch ing eye the leaden showers that swept the field in battle he seemed to bear a charmed life for he would exjio.se himself where it seem no man could live well do we remember that fatal morning of april 2d 1865 when the lines around petersburg were stormed and as our soldiers were re tiring befure overwhelming numbers how gen grimes rushed to the front seized a musket from a retreating sol dier lired it in rapid succession al the advancing enemy and finally rallied his men and charged and recaptured a portion of our line which was held all that day until nightfall when gen lee ordered a retreat he also says : history has incorractly given to gor don of georgia the glory ofthe last fight at appomattox it was gen grimes who had command of all the troops in the engagement and not gen gordon and he it was who made that last brilliant charge to break through sheridan's swarms of cavalry and thc last order given on that battle field was carried by the writer hereof from gen grimes to gen w r cox what the lawyers talked about at saratoga this week saratoga august 18
