At Banka Superior Coart the other day
a nmneroualy signed petition was present
ed to Hen. Emory Speer, asking him to
give his views upon political matters. He
complied with the request, and our cotem
porary, the Belton North Georgian, has
this to say oi it:
"Mr. Speer is a born orator and states
man, and his sojourn In Washington has
added immensely to his already scholarly
attainments. The people of the Ninth
District have just cause to be prond
their Representative”
Elder D. W. Patman.
It affdrds us much gratification tofieara,
as we do from the Oglethorpe Echo, that
this good man, who has been lor many
years a prominent minister of the Primi
tive Baptist church in this section, and
who was stricken some time since with
paralysis, has so far improved as to have
been able to attend church a few days
since and deliver a short address. This
announcement will be hailed with delight
by his many friends throughout this sec
tion, and we sincerely trust that he may
very soon be restored to perfect health.
The Usury Law.
The late session of the Legislature, as
we think, did one righteous act, which
was to lower the rate ot interest to be
charged in Georgia. In order that our
people may understand it, we publish the
full text of the bill as passed at the late
session.
An act to regulate and restrict the rate
ot interest in this State, and lor other
purposes.
Sec. 1. The General Assembly of the
State of Georgia do enact, That from and
alter the passage of this act it shall not be
lawful forper any son, company orcorpo-
poration to reserve, charge or take lor
any loan or advance of money, or forbear
ance to enforce the collection of any sum
of money, any rate ol interest greater
than eight per centum per annum, either
directly or indirectly, by way of commis
sions lor advances, discount or exchango,
or by any contract or continuance or de
vice whatever.
Sec. 2. Be it farther enacted, That any
person, company or corporation violating
the provisions of the foregoing sections of
this act shall forfeit the interest and the
excess of interest so charged or taken, or
contract to be reserved, charged or taken.
Sec. 3. Be it further enacted, That the
legal rate of interest shall remain seven
per centum per annum, when the rate per
cent is not named in the contract, and any
higher Tate must be specified in writing
but no bvent to exceed eight per cent, per
annum.
Sec. 4. Be it further enacted, That in
all'suits hereafter brought in any' of the
Courts bf this State upon any account, note,
bond, bill, draft or other evidence of in
debtedness, bearing date after the passage
of this act, wherein a greater rate of inter
est is claimed than seven per cent., it shall
be incumbent on the plaintiff in such suit
or notion to show affirmatively by proof
that no greater or higher rate of interest
than that specified in the contract so sued
upop his has been taken, received, retained
or in any way or manner reoeived, so as
to be thereafter had or taken by any de
vice whatever.
Seo. 5. Be it further enacted, That all
tiie laws and parts of laws in conflict with
this act, be and the same are hereby re
pealed.

—Tho Oaf» . City Guards, of Atlanta,
who axe now taking in* most of the prin
cipal Norther* cities, are having a “ hog
killing Hare* being feasted and treated
with the most marked respect by the
military and people wherever they have
been.
-Tbe Secorder says that if the Middle
Georgia Agricultural College, at Milledge-
^ was ready tor business, before it bad
been in operation one month there would
be ene hundred and fifty statements in at-
Atlastx, October 10th, 1879.
The Henfroe trial, with all its sharp pas
sages of legal law and galling invective,
has closed. The result you know, and in
your position can judge more clearly oi
its probable effects, then-can we who are
still onwounded by the smoke of this hard
fought battle. Tbe sentiment in Atlanta
is decidedly adverse to the decision of the
Senate. This is generally made op from
prejudice, as a Urge proportion of them
neither read the evidence nor beard the
arguments. Even though the facta were
before you, which Mr. Renfroe did not
deny, it would not have enabled you to
form a correct opinion, because even tbe
purest and wisest lawyers in the Senate,
differed so entirely in their views of the
law. ft was an exceedingly intricate case,
and no doubt was a source of intense anx
iety, to every conscientious Senator. As
an evidence of the different views of the
purest and wisest men, I state that Sena
tor Camming was clearly and strongly in
favor ot the acquittal of Renfroe, and on
the other hand, Senator McDaniel (ol your
District) was in favor of finding him guilty.
No honest man oquld impugn the motives
of either. As you would be especially in
terested in tbe latter, let me say that his
District should feel proud ot him. His
speech was one of the strongest, clearest
and most m^nly on hia tide. Indeed,
many express the opinion that it was tbe
best speech that was made on either tide.
Quite an exciting little episode occurred
in the House the other day, amusing,
least, to spectators. The Bill for the erec
tion of the State House was on its passage,
when Hr. McWhorter moved as a substi
tute, after the usual number of 11 where
ases,” that the House should vote tbe cap
ital back to Uilledgeville, subject, of
course, to ratifiestioi> by the people. Mr.
Fort (who had been one of the managers
in the Renfroe trial) seemed very sore, and
jumping up in ah excited manner, said
that it tbe people could have witnessed
the scenes ol the past few days in tbe Sen
ate, that they would overwhelmingly re
turn the capital to Milledgeville. Mr. My-
natt, of Falton, quickly sprang to his feet,
and called upon tbe gentleman from Lump
kin to itemize any charges against Atlanta
—bow sho was responsible for anything
that had been done. Mr. Fort was dis
posed to reply, but th < Speaker called him
to order. But tbe excitement, applause
and laughter in thr House, was amusfog
to an outsider. M r . McWhorter, I under
stand, says that it was done iu sport,
thought iu this connection passes through
my mind. I give your readers the benefit
of it: It the people of Georgia could see
the Legislatuie in session, there would be
some very great changes made in the mem
bership. Several most Important bills
have been lost because a quorum was not
present—many because the members
would not vote. • When the yeas and nays
were called for, the doors would be crowd
ed by those who wished to have their
votes recorded, and often without having
beard tbe provisions of the bill I heard
one member, during tbe call, ask that the
bill should be read—as you see, an intel
Iigentand useful member. There are
number of first-class men in tbe House—
principally young men—who promise to
be oi great service to tbe State, In my
judgment. Turner, ot Brooks, 'itti Miller,
of Houston, are th<* clearest headed and
strongest men iu the House. Young Amer
ica is the ruling Spirit there. The Legis
lature will probably adjourn next Wednes
day, certainly not later than Saturday, 18th
inst They have bad an arduous and ini
portant session, and all ot them are anx.
ious to be at home. There are two col.
ored men in the House, and I was greatly
pleased to .ee that they were treated with
the utmost courtesy, by the Speaker and
members. I have no doubt that tboir po
sition is much more pleasant than it would
be with a Radical Legislature. They were
Invited with the other members to Gov.
Colquitt’s, and are exceedingly well-behav
ed, pleasant men. The agricultural bill is
now being “doctored* by the House.
From present indications, 1 think it will
only exist in name, as no funds are being
provided for any great usefulness. You
have often heard that the time ot the Leg
islature was occupied by lawyers, whose
trade it is to speak. But I understand
that there are two farmers in the House,
who, if their speeches coaid be connected
together, would occupy thirty of the eighty-
five days of the session—quite a good
record. Let me jay, in conclusion, that it
is vastly more entertaining to read the re
port, than be ptedeut in the sessions. The
Constitution of this morning, is after Mr.
McWhorter, of Grhene. He is too virtuous;
his conversion is too sodden; but I think
the reason of the httack is, his silly reso
lution about tbe removal of tbe ospital.

THE OHIO ELECTION AND IT8 LESSON.
Ohie, perhaps the pivotal State of tbe
Union, in spite ot the most thorough and
vigorous canvass oq tbe part of tlie Demo-
crate, has gone Republican by a large ma
jority. This result was accomplished in
spite of the popularity of Ewing and Rice,
the gsBant Union soldiers who beaded
the ticket; In spite ot the eloquence of
Thurman and Hendricks; in spite of tbe
Vdfc%ifl “ hart” of money supposed to have
been expended in the Campaign, by Uncle
Sammy Tilden; in spite of all of this, it is
impossible to conceal tbe fact that the
Democratic party has unstained a very se
rious defeat It is the policy ot wisdom
and true statesmanship, to meet this emer
gency manfally, and to examine and as
certain, if possible, the true causes oi De
mocratic defeat. Tons, it is clear that
the prineipal reason for this disaster, is to
be found 1° the unwise conduct ol tbe ma
chine politicians in the Democratic party,
who, in the extra session of Congress,
threatened to lock tbe doors of the Treas
ury, and to withhold ail money Jrom the
several departments, needed fo* the sup
port oi the Government We thought
then the policy was unwise. We are the
more confirmed in our opiuion now.
Congress has the right, bec^pse of a disa
greement with the President, to refuse all
the usual and necessary grants or appro
priation* for the maintainance of the Go
vernment, Congress has tbe ri|_
stroy the Government, for this
stroy it When, therefore, it was gravely
stated by the so-called leaders of tlie party,
that if the President did not give his ap
proval to the repeal measuffes then pend
ing, that no money should be voted to
support the departments, the Northern
people thought they saw a deliberate at
tack on the very existence of the Govern-
mett.'"'It was unnecessary and futile to
attempt to convince them of their mis
take. They have accordingly voted
against our party, because some loud
mouthed individuals declared “ that not
one dollar should be voted, until every
vestige oi the war legislatiou was wiped
out.” That such utterances betraye 1 the
rankest lack of statesmanship, it surely
needs noargnmeitto prove; that such
expressions were worse than useless, is
demonstrated by the fact, that by patience
and good judgment, and constant, opposi
tion to the “ ultra” or Bourbon” elemont,
the Democrats repealed every obnoxious
law that they desired to repeal, and yet
voted every dollar actually necessary tor
the Government But the evil had been
accomplished. Garfield bad beeD, by
tolly, given the opportunity to say: “ In
1861, you tried to shoot this Government
to death; now, yooaie trying to starve
it to death.” This impression was fasten
ed on the Northern mind, and a majority
ot 17,000 Republican votos, is the result in
Ohio. Not until their Representatives in
Congress will bavo the manhood to main
tain the devotion oi the Southern people
to tbe Union and tbe Constitution—then,
and not until then—will they have
chance for justice, at the hands ot aUnion-
loviog North.

The Judge and Solicitor-General of tbe
Western Cirouit, opened Court in Faroes-
vifle, on Monday morning last, and spent
the whole week in the discharge of their
official duties, and with the assistance oi
the bar and juries administered the law in
a considerable number of civil aud crimi
nal cases. Tbe people of Franklin county
were out in large numbers, and the usual
semi-annual foil ot raiu occurred, which is
as regular as the calendar.
The farmers complain of tbe short crops,
the low price of cotton, and the conse
quent scarcity of money.
On Tuesday at noon, it was announced
that Hon. Emory Speer, member of Con
gress, having been petitioned by a large
nnmber of citizens, would address them
at tbe court house, and the bnildiug was
At once filled to its uttermost capacity by
hundreds of people, who seemed eager to
hear the eloquent and brilliant statesman
ot the 9tb, give an account of his steward
ship in the National Cougiess.
Mr. Speer was introduced by the Rev. * rK "“^ u
G. H. Cartledge, onqol the most prominent
and popular citizens iu this section, iu
very neat and graceful speech, in which
he alluded in proper terms to the ability
of our Representative, and the fidelity
with wbioh he bad discharged so far the
trust bestowed upon him.
Mr. Speer addressed the people at some
length, in his usual happy and eloquent
style, giving a full account of bis official
conduct since his election, and his views
upon the political questions of the day, in
an able and statesman like manner that
won for him hearty and frequent applause.
During the session of Court, we bad tbe
pleasure of hearing for^the^first time, B.
F. Camp, Esq., ot Carnesv<Ue, who acquit
ted himself admirably.
Several important cases were compro
mised inTrabklin Court. T ~
On Tuesday, a young man named Thos.
Williams, was painfully injured by a mule
running and throwing him Cut ot the wa

was dragged on the grayed for some dis
tance. 8everal gentlemen succeeded in
stopping the mole, and the life of the
young man was saved.
There is a man now living in Franklin
county named Dock Bond, 61 years old,
who never was tick, never took a done ot
