A gentleman informed us the other day, that
after listening to Gov. Smith's admirable ad
dress, in whiob, among otbor things, be urged )
the people to send their best men to the Legis- j
laiure, ho asked that gentleman privately how j
'are t be people to know who are their best men !
The Governor,in substance, replied: Sendthosc

of their own to look after. You tnay rest well

Death of Jndge Andrews. , ^ . . , . . .
Tho Hon. Garnett Andrews died at bis re- j econnm J r in lhe 080 of water, it is our wish to f f rora needing tbe money, our city autbori-
sitleuco in Washington, Wilkes county, one
day last week, in the 7Clb year of his ago.
Judge Andrews was avery remarkable man
in some'respects, and perhaps served longer
as Judge than any man ever did in Georgia.
We first met him at Danielsville, in March,
1845, when ho was boldlug the Spring term
of Superior Court ior Madison county. We , . , , , _
stopped at the same house. (Mr. Griffeth’s) and I of and durabilny.” One
were struck with what we bad never before: cites the »reconls of tests,” at this or that
seenatCourt. Tbe Judge took the head of the! place..where hm wheel was pronounced the
table and called on the Solicitor (L. J. Gar-1 »“* to avera « e re8alt8 ' Anolher bas a 8Cien *
trvll. Esq., now of Atlanta.) to ask a blessing.
This incident made a favorable impression on
onr mind.

Snperior Conrt.
Mr. Eoitor:—l have beard that Judge Rice
was remarkable for hurrying up the business of
C«irt; keeping lawyers, juries, litigants and
witnesses well up to the mark, butonasbnrt vis
it to the court room found it was a great mis
take. How it may bo with the witnesses, ju
ries. Ate., I can’t say, but as regards his treat
ment of the Bar I pronounce him a wonderful
ly patient man. I supposo be does, not like,
suddenly to break up long established customs,
but It is to be hoped that he, and others of
tbe Bench, will gradually bat surely correct
that crying evil practice of lawyers speaking
an hour after they have said all that apper
tained to tho case. Why is it, Mr. Editor, that
an educated gentleman, a Darned lawyer and
eloquent advocate, after making a plain, clear,
satisfactory statement of the case to the jury,
sustained by the testimony of intelligent wit
nesses,-should go on, and on for an hoar or
two, or three, for that matter, in senseless re
iteration, wearing oat the patience of judge,
jnry and bearers, with stuff as relative to the
matter in hand as would be an extract from
tho’serraon on " a harp of a thousand strings t”
I say that a jndge who can sit placidly under
such an infliction cannot bo accused of impa
tience or Irritability.
Now, imagine yourself on a jury at 4 o'clock,
P. M., in August, then 92°, in tbe worst ven
tilated court room in the country, compelled to
listen to Buch talk as tbis: Gentlemen of the ju
ry, did yon ever see a cow turn a somerset t No,
gentlemen, I see by tbe smile on your faces
that yon have never seen that performance,
never saw a cow turn a somerset, nor do I be
lieve that any other man ever saw a cow walk
ing along, the street deliberately and of pur
pose turn asomeraet. Bat, gentleman, let a good
milker tafte that cow in band, put a pail under
her aud soon, gentlemen, you will see tbe rich
uiilk flow in streams until two gallons of the
delicious life supporting fluid will fill tbe pail.
Showing, gentlemen of tbe jury, that though
she could not turn somersets, sbe was incalcu
lably valuable in her sphere. Now, gentle
men of the jury, does anybody think less of
that cow because sbe can't turn a somerset!
No, gentlemen, yon would rather yonr good
milch cow should not turn somersets. Do you
think any less of an ox because he can’t walk
on a tight ropo f or of a good mule becanse he
can't play the fiddle t Now, gentlemen, you
may consider these questions as being siliv
and foolish, but my point is this: many a hard
workiug, hard-fisted farmer cau't write a good
hand, they have novor studied Algebra, Go
oinetry and Mathematics. But, gentlemen
some of them can cipher as well as any of the
professors in college; yes, gentlemen, they
can cipher as well as Dr. Lipscomb. They cau
handle an axe, a plow, a spade, and a sledge
hammer in a manner, gentlemen, that would
astcuish a college bred man. They are the
bone and sinew of tbis country, from whom we
get onr meat and bread, yes, gentlemen, and
tbe clothes we wear. &c., ad hauseum ad
libitum; and such stuff will servo as a perora
tion to an argument on any sort of caso, from
Bullurn versus Boatman” to ono involving
life and reputation. Do the lawyers “ think
they shall be paid for tbeir much speaking!"
One would think so.
Mr. Editor, the members of the Bar have
it in their power to do more good in forming
the character, in elevating tbo taste, in refin
ing the manners of society than all the other
professions put together. They mingle more
intimately, and are brought in more immedi
ate contact with tbe people, and have, as a
class, more influence i^th them. But alas!
bow is tbis influence exerted! aro they care

lic notice, examining witnesses, making au
Editor Southern Watchmen ifE
Dear Sir—When urged to vote for tbo ap
propriation of $25,000 to erect a new building
for tho College of Agriculture. I was assured
that it would enure largely to tlie benefit of
the town. I had no boys to send to College,
not being ablo to do so, but was assured that
the appropriation would jUevcrtholess benefit
tbe material interests of tho city.
With tliis understanding, I voted for the ap
propriation and urged others to do so. Judge
of my surprise, sir, when informed, as I was
on a recent occasion, that the University of
Georgia had actually sent to a distance to have
its catalogue printed, because somebody had
offered to do it for four or five dollars less than
yonr bid ! is this so, sir. and are you not pre
pared to oxeqpte such work at your office !
A Yoter. .
Tbe above statement is substantially cor
rect. We were called on to make an estimate
of cost of printing catalogue. We made it
$200.00 in round numbers. We were after
wards informed that a party in Macon bad of
fered to do It for a few dollars less.
In answer to the second branch of the In
quiry, we are as well prepared to do job print
ing ps any establishment in the State—having
as good machinery as there is on tbe continent
and as fine an assortment of printing material
as any office, though not in as large quantities
as a few of the largest
By way of justification, a member of tlie
Faculty remarked to as that the Macon estab
lishment was larger thaii ours. To this wo
promtly replied, that tbe doctrine wasdanger-
0118 to our University just at tbis time—that
if accepted as legitimate argumentation, some
gentlemen with sons to educate might discov
er that the University of Virginia Is larger than
that of Georgia—and here we “ closed for tho
prosecution."

A 'Correction.
Inasmuch as falso statements concerning tbe
purport of an article from tho undersigned
which appeared sometimo ago in the Apostolic
Times, of Lexington, Ky.. havo been circulated
through tho country, greatly detrimental to
truth, and prejudicial to myself—I take this
means of saying to nil, that there is not
tbonght in said article, either expressed or im
plied, that is at all detrimental or humiliating
to auy individual in tho Stato of Georgia, or
anywhore olso. And furthermore, that, so far
as known to me, not a single individual icho has
seen the article, has been at all displeased. No
one was ever more universally treated with
kindness iu any country than I have been in
Georgia. Many of these kind friends I could
mention by name, but it is useless. I simply
say; that to this there has not been a single
exception among all those I havo met, aud
whose hospitality I have shared. For all
these marks of kindness I return my sincere
thanks, and I hope tbat no one will give canso
to feel otherwise, by circulating, coucerninga
stranger, things that, are false.
