Iq kct, the condition of things is aluiobt inorc|JroIe. A baud of men, numbering probably tMor twelve, after committing murder ana aps, openly defy arrest and continue their work oi' depredation, hack, of the sceue of .. I ilJjUo to tl ULI JI S?Wtllll|J II* ? Uitll "IUU themselves when they discover the approach of a force that they cannot openly reiist. lii order that the situation, which promises much of thrilling interest, may be understood it is nceessarry to review the occurrences of the past lew years ill Bill jwKk County. Four or live years ago thtfrep?<.<T to Baldwin from Fast Tennessee an ill# wncd hunchhaek hy the name of Mianaefai Shaw. He soon betrayed a most desp^dxo character, and was surrounded by uien equally bad. In 187.~> the negroes o!" tho I middle belt of Ccorgia planned an insur- 1 lection that was to embrace several counties and utterly weed out the whites. These i plans were discovered by a chance ietter 1 picked up containing an order to the cap- 1 tuiu of a uego company, and almost instant- ' ly t lie whites went to organizing a lit h rough 1 the black bedt. Shaw put himself :c. the ' head of his little band of desperadoes, 1 which ho named the '"(Joorgia Tigers," aud 1 went to work as a sort of patrol and regu- ' laling squad. There is no telling whit 1 damage was done duriug these days of dis- turbaucc, as the country was lull of fugitive " negroes and armed squads, but nothing can ' be learned doliuiiely. After things had < quieted dowu, however,??it was di'^co/ crcd ' that Shaw and his crowd were still onanist- 1 i>d and were pluudimng and killing. Tliey 1 operated upon the edge of a swamj^ and 1 it was impossible to detect tlicui. 'i ho uc- * groes were driven out of tlie section that 5 llioy infested aud valuable plautatious were 1 lIius rendered almost worthless. One day 1 Col McComb, who owned one of those J places, received on anonymous letter, tolling ' hiin that if he would look in an old well on ' Ii is place lie would Liuu tuo skeletons ol 1 llircc men who had been missiug for some { time, and that the skeleton ol'atiolhof trris-?- ' tug uian cjuld be found in a creek near by, 1 where it had been anchored down with ' stones. The letter further said lhair Mike j < Shaw and his crowd were the murderers of 1 these people, and that they had 1 [*o?t the nust .'rilhi-N,* simply because they had work-ia*days i:i the coru held of Shaw's gang and it was ' cheaper to kill theui than to pay them. A 1 search was made and the skeletons were 1 found as described. Arrests of the whole : jang were being pluuucd when it was reported that -Mike Shaw's wife had been found i ' in her bedroom with her skull crushed in ' ?murdered. A half-witted boy swore that he saw Shaw himself kill his wife, lie 1 said that lie caught her by the hair on the 1 piazza of the house, beat her over the head Mid shoulders with a bludgeon until she was lulled to the floor, and then dragged , iier into the house, leaving a trail of blood j ill the way. Immediately after thcyf had , Jisappeai'ed in the house a pistol shot was , heard and Shaw came running out. Shaw j < was put upon trial, convicted, and after iong I ( Jclay was hanged for this murder. His . gang was scattered and demoralized, and | < some ol them hid out in the swamps. It ( i? supposed by many that lliev are connect* ( j.l in sonic way with the present disturb- , ;tiees, although they are located in a difl'er- , -nej part of the county. A ltKlUN OF TIClUtOlt Ono of the mysterious points ol' this I ' whole matter is thai it is impossible to deli- ! ii it fly place the responsibility of the bloody work that is uo;v being done. The people will not talk about it, and a perfect terrorism is established in the troubled district 'J he circumstances of the late troubles are these: l)r. J. A P liobsou isa physician living m ar the line of llaucock County, lie is a perfectly fearless uian ; lias had his nerve tested often, and has never flinched in au emergency. There was a negro living on his piaco name ( icero, who has been ve ry Uadly maltreated in the past year. Once' lie was taken out of his house and beaten until he was nearly dead. Indeed, it appears tliat his assail nits left hitn for dead iu the woods, llis employer, I)r. liobsou, took : him to his house, hud him well cared for, and when he had recovered took his part and sWore that he would protect him. He had one or two dillicullics with his neigh bors over this intorforaueo with tin? plans ol the negro's enemies, and at length received a note saying that if he did not desist he would be burned out and killed.? lie pursued liis way despite these warnings, and ouc night he saw that his sawmill was in flames. He dressed hastily and ran toward the mill for the purpose of putting out the lire, dust as soon as ho cauic within the circle of light he was fired upou from the bushes and a bullet or two sent through his clothes. He hurriedly fell back into the dark and returned to his house, (n the meantime some of his neighbors, attracted by the lire, hurried across the country to help save bis property. As s/on as they reached the light they, too, were Grod uj on, stixl retreated. The uiill was consumed, and the gang then departed. The next day Dr. llobsou was just as delimit was ever, and in night or two his gin house, which was built lor a public gin. and in which was stored much of the neighborhood cotton, was let on Urc. He did not dare leave his house tor fear of being ats issinatcd, an J sat quietly and watched hi- property destroyed, lie still maintained his uchauee, and declared that l.e would pro- cute the parties who had maltreated' the negro. On Sa'.sr ! ;y m- ruing, aveauii i panied by Serge Hoe, his brother-in-law, atid Cicero aud another negro, he started for Millodgevillc, where court was to bo held.? It happened that he and Hoc started a half hour earlier than was iutcuded, the negroes comiug on behind. When they had gone a few miles and approached the edge of tho awauip the uegiocs wtre fire on, aud Cicero was instautly killed. His companion escape, although ho was repeatedly fired on. Dr. Hobson, who was-riding some distance ahead, hoard th? firinut anil l-nniviiur full , ? ? "p?r well what it meant, put spurs to liis horso aud pluugcd into the woods. He retched Mil e Igovillo in safety and w^st escorted back home by several-iucrubors of tho Baldwin Blues. Ho then received Notice, through letters scattered about his nfoce, that be must leave.the couutry, aad ftat.if?he did uot be would be burned out pudki Bed,aud that Andrew and John and i&qgejfcoe, Tiis wife's father uu t brothers, woukHjc treated in the same manner. V* COWARDLY N KHIUUORS. He determined to make a defence of his home, and olfored twenty-five dollars a night to any persons who would come and help liiui guard his premises. But ihc feeling was so profound that no sort of watch could prevail against the assassins, that lie could get no help, llis brother was telegraphed to in Atlanta, and came down at once. In the meantime his enemies burned another cotton house ou his place, and notified hint that he must leave by Saturday night or they would kill hi 111 and his people. By hi* time the intcuscst a la. ui was felt through all the neighborhood. It was uot inown to wiiat extent me desperadoes vould go. A delegation of citizens of Milledgeville posted oft to Atlanta to consult the Governor anil sec what help he jould give. 'J'hey held that the military jould do no good, as upon the approach of t largo force the outlaws would plunge into he swamp, which was almost absolutely impenetrable, and a regiment could not iind ,hetn in twelve mouths. They have their jauips ami retreats in this swamp, and arc -afe when once It id there. The Governor hcroforo sent two trusty detectives to Milcdgoviilo to investigate the whole matter imi identify the criminals, and he pledges limsclf that lie will thou take r.nd punish licui if it takes all the military in Georgia If, however, the detectivs will only fix the guilt upon certain parties, the people of the :ounty will sec that they are taken. It is ,hc mystery, the doubt and uncertainty hat has paralyzed them until how. The Ictcctivcs have arrived, and have gone on die trail at once. They arc to uight in he heart of the infested district, and will m ike a report before many days. In lhe meantime ])r- ltobson and his family, fi ling that they might ho assassinated | it any hour of the night, and the Doctor jot fooling able to stand against his hid leu .ssailarits, left their home and liave gone t-j Washington county. It is said that the Doctor and his brother will return shortly ttid assist in running the outlaws to caith. l'he Governor has offered heavy rewards or their capture, beside scudiug special d<> ;cctivcs after them. . a SL'si'KCTtl) I'AMl I.Y. There is no clue to the ideutify of these uitlaws. except the following, which is given for what it is worth : There is in the country a very largo and poweiful family jailed 1'1 tin is. Most of them are quiet, orlerly citizens, and one of them is sheriff" of 1. . l)..i 1 iic cuuuiv. uut suuicui ino youngeruoys ire reckless aud light-headed. It is said :hat they run an illicit still, and are ready to protect themselves in doing so. Indeed, three of boys arc now hiding because of a Icsporate light they had with revenue oiliL'ers a few mouths ago, in which one deputy was killed and another desperately wounded, i'hese men were accused of illicit distilling, und a force of deputies, under the leadership of Luuisden, had frequently searched for them. The Enniscs were known to be hard lighters and good biders, and the feud between them and the revenue people had beeu of long duration. At length the collision occurred, although reports difi'er as to the manner of its bringing about. The friends of the Enniscs say that the boys were in their house at supper with their wives and one other lady when Lunisden and the crowd appeared at the door and began tiring into the eating room ; that the Enniscs arose and returned the fire, killing Lutnsdcn and wounding Kinncburn, but escaping unhurt themselves. The marshals uee;aro that the PJunisos tired tirst. They say that they approached the house, and finding the boys at home and knowing their desperate character, drew their revolvers and rushed in. The boys arose as quick lightning, flashed out their revolvers and the ball opened. Several shots were exchanged, and it is thought one of the Knuises was wounded. The uli'air created great excitement, and soldiers went out to make a search for the fugitives. Of course they could not be lbuml. They had retreated into their swamp fastnesses and no trace could be gotten. It was reported that they had left (lie country, and the matter of the revenue trouble had pretty well blowu over. A CAMP MEETING TROUBLE. It is said, furthermore, that one of tho Knuises had trouble with tho ticgro Cicero who was killed, about one year ago. The negroes had a lirge camp meeting, and one of the rules prohibited tho selling of liquor on the grounds, atd Cicero was appointed as a sort of special policeman to see that this rule was carried out. One of the Knni.iCo tried to sell liquor on the grounds and Cicero attempted to stop him. Tho result was a difficulty. It was shortly after this that the uegro was Kukluxed and whipped. It is impossible to get any one to say that it is the Kunises who are doing this work. They tell the circumstances as above, but refuse to draw any conclusions. The truth is, the family is a very strong one, and with a ?..i i - .11 i. \ L|?- i'u-? a ? v i j wivr i ?i 11 * ( nuu i'u * huveJouj.

There te still another family, the tncp*., ? bcrs of which arc fkusptotcd of h&vlfifc j some connociiou with these dutrages. Tlt^ live along the swamps that skirt the ?Suuty, and arc known as the Pounds crowd. Sov- ,| vcral members of this family are good citi- t, zens, and one of theui is especially clever a and proper spirited. There are others, u thought, that arc of the worst sort, according j* to reput. One of their exploits was given |, to me by a mau who lives near them, and i who said : "Pou't give my name, lbr if it ii was known that 1 had told this uiv life ,a wouldn't bo worth a bawbee; they would ' burn nicout and murder inc." 11c thou said , { that a short time ago one of these Pounds ti had a note of Dr. (Jilmure on a negro nam- a ed McClollan that was iu his hands for col- >' lection. Justice Miller gave judgment in favor of the negro. A short time al'ter the j, court adjourned Alfred came to Miller and i; siad tiiat his life had been threatened by ii Pounds and his friends; that they told him he wouldn't have long to live. The negro was very much frightened and wanted to leave the couniy, hut Miller said he supposed they simply wanted to scare him out. lie went to his home, aud nbuut two weeks ' al'ter was killed by uukuown parlies, lie u] was sitting iu his cabin with his family oi when the blaze of a gun flashed through a b crack iu the wall aud he fell back dead.? w It was never known who his murderer was. A NAT I" UAL FASTNESS. tt Tlic people of Millcdgcvillc arc not hope- V.' ful of clearing out these gangs. They have made llie southeast part of Baldwin and the ), west part of Hancock almost worthless. It il is impossible lor men to live there in any 1> sort of safely. Said one citizen : "1 doubt * if they can be rooted out. The swamp that stretches toward Wilkinson is about impenetrable. I don't think there has been a < white man in it, except these l'clltvrs, in fe twenty years. Once in there they can hold c' their owu against a thousand iueu." j*,1 LATEST OL'TKACKS. iv On last night the outlaws attacked the nr^inisAU iif Mr 1 .nlr?> linliiiKnn 'iml , ^ ...... ........ ................

Other houses aud lives have been threatened, and the greatest consternation prevails in the "J troubled section.

Y. lIaal<L [\ Sound Doctrine ijy an Able Judue. ?Washington, October 20.? Opiuions were read in the United States Supreme <" Court to-day in the so-calfed Pacific Hail- b road cases, decisions of which were simply it announced on the last day of the last term. P The opinion of a majority of the court, h affirming the constitutionality of the Thurman sinking fund act, was delivered by Chief Justice Waite. Long disseuting h opinions woro read by Associate Justices s*] Strong, Jlradley and Field. r In discusing the case of the Central Pa- i' cific Company of California, Justice Field b maintained that the Thurmau act is an uu- I1 constitutional invasion of the sovereign b rights of the State of California, inasmuch ? as it assumes illegal control over a State corporation, and takes from the State all the lattcr's authority over a company of f> its own creation. Justice Field's opinion " concludes as follows : ' "I am utterly at a loss to find where authoiity on the part of the United States to ' interfere with the State in this respect and " take such control from it is to be found, cxecpt in the theories of those who regard the general government as the nll-coutrolling v power of the nation, to which States, even 11 in local matters, must bend. I cannot as- ^ sent to any such theories. The government 51 created by the constitution left to the States 11 the control of local matters, and it never f entered into the conception of its framcrs M that under it creations of States could be [ taken by it from their control, and they left ( powerless aud helpless in the matter. The ? doctrines announced iu the opinion ol the ' majority ol'tl?e court go further thiin nny doctriues heretofore advanced, and any r even thought possible iu the history of the f country, to destroy the ind. pcudcncc of * the .States and establish their helplessness, 1 oven in matters of local concern, as against ? the will of Congress. He must be dull, indeed, who does not see that under the logis- * lation and the course of decisions of late v years our government is fast drifting from 1 its ancient moorings, from the system cs- ' tablishcd by onr fathers, iuto a vast ccutral- \ ized and consolidated government."

The United llerew Charities of the City of New Yofk is, peraps, the most effective organization for chariible work in tlic couutry.

Capital am> Labor.?There is no real nnfliet of interest between capital and lain?we mean, of course, capital invested l productive industry?capital that cmleys labor. The conilict about which wo car so much, which most uteu seem to Itiuk has a real existence, which has caused a much disaster and suffering in the world, ? an imaginary one, having its origin in a pirit of narrow, blind selfishness, that stoifices to the creed of the preseut the best itercsts of the future. No better rules of usiucss iu all its departments were ever rouiulgatcd than these, taken iu a mere usincss point of view : ''.Hoar one anther's burdens." '-Do unto others what ou would have them do unto you." Capital and labor are copartners, co-worcrs, mutually dependent, each interested 11 the other's welfare. What profits onfc ircctly, profits the other indirectly j what njurcs one, evuutually injures the other, t is to the interest of capital that the wa;os should be high ; it is to the interest of ibor that the profits of capital should bo urge. The effect of high wages is to make rorkihgmeu aud workingwouicn not only noro prosperous, comfortable and happy, iut healthier,stronger, more intelligent, aud note skillful, and to attract to the departncnt of industry in which the high wages ire vail workers possessing these desirable |iialiiics. Large profits to the capital cmiloyed in an industry, build up and extend hat industry, thus securing larger, more onstuntaud more remunerative employment or labor.
