The Philadelphia Times refers to another
Southern outrage—the consumption of the

The failure of the grain crops throughout

Bismarck’s Triumph.—Election returns
from country districts come in slowly. So

Agrarian Outrage.—Some of the Irish
papers say, that what is termed an Agn-
rian outrage near Castlebar, was the re
sult of political agitation. The Freeman’s
Journal says it would be unjust to charge
the outrage on tenant farmers, and believes
that the purpose was robbery.
An exchange says that Paul II. Hayne,
the Southern poet thinks of making his
home m tiie North, saying that the South

lias enjoyed the hospitally of Longfellow
and others in Boston.—Chronicle <?- Constitu
tionalist. _
Tiie Atlanta Dispatch thinks it is a pity
thatRenfroe did not consult his Senatorial
friends before he offered his resignation to
the House, and to make restitution of the
interest he had received. It would have
taken off some of the sharp edges of the
case for those who voted not guiilv. He
had already plead guilty, but in tiie lan
guage of a distinguished Georgian, tiie
Senate would not believe him when he said
he was guilty, but said by the verdict,
“You are mistaken, you are not guilty;
you ought not to pay back any money, or
ought you to resign.”
ADJOURNMENT.
The General Assembly will adjourn to
morrow,Doth houses have passing a resolu
tion to that effect. The session lias been a
long one, and tiie members are about worn
out, and want to get home. They have
dono the State valuable service, and if they
have failed to do all expected of them, the
people will be apt to remember the trying
circumstances under which much of their
work has been done, aud make due allow
ance for mistakes or omissions. The clos
ing few days of the Senate’s sessions were
marked by manifestations of impatience,
not to use "a harsher word, that ill became
the dignity of grave and reverend senators.
But even this may have been the result of
long, laborious arid exhaustive work, which
tadded to an imagined stigma sought to be
put upon the Senators who voted to acquit
Renfroe, in the preamble Id tiie House res
olution requesting the Governor to issue
fi. fas. against Renfroe and his securities,
for money of the State used by him) embit
tered the'minds of the minority, and gave
vent to hasty words.
Altogether we think tiie Legislature lias
done well.
THE SAVANNAH CENTENNIAL.
The celebration on tiie 9tli of the one hun
dredth anniversary of the siege of Savan
nah and death of Sergeant Jasper, as
we anticipated, was one of the most bril
liant occasions which ever occurred in Sa
vannah. The papers state that more than
20,000 people were present and the greatest
enthusiasm was manifested. The military
pageant was surpassingly brilliant; con
sisting of more than twenty companies rep
resenting tiie three States ol South Carolina,
Florida and Georgia. The whole city wa.->il
luminated at night and the shipping in the
port and public buildings were attractive
ly decorated. NVe lack the room to go into
details. General Gordon, t he orator of the
day, was introduced in a very happy and
appropriate manner by Mr. P. V.’. Meldrira.
The address of General Gordon was re
markably eloquent and universally ad
mired. A universal burnt of cheers greet
ed him as he arose to speak, and lie was
frequently interrupted by applause as his
glowing und patriotic utterances fell from
his lips. At the conclusion of the ceremo
nies of laying the corner stone, tiie troops
were reviewed by' tiie Grand Marshal of
tiie day. General Lafayette McLaws and
General Gordon. Savannah was never more
hospitable and all guests and visitors were
delighted with the festivities of the evening,
and the whole ococasion was one to be long
remembered by all who had the good fort
une to witness it.
THE IMPEACHMENT TRULS.
The people are tiie source of all power in
Republican Governments, and they tlele-
gate powers to their representatives to act
for them. It is their duty to guard the
public weal, to enforce the laws in their ap
propriate sphere and hold certain officials
to a strict accountability fur their acts.
We cannot call in question tin? propriety
and wisdom of our Legislative bodies in the
late impeachment trial. However various
opinions may tie as to guilt or innocence of
those* who have gone through the painful
ordeal of trial in the high court of impeach
ment, all must bow respectfully to the ver
dicts it has rendered. Our sympathies
were with the gentlemen who were charg
ed with high crime and misdemeanors, and
we sincerely hoped they might be able to
pass safely through the try'iug ordeal. In
one case our hopes were vain, in the other,
fulfilled. While the one was subjected to
the fuil penalty of conviction it is not amiss
to say that there nrethose who t hink it was
unnecessarily severe, and we are pleased to
believe that tiie number is not small of
those wlio have not lost confidence in his
•casein the essential principles which make
up the sum of honorable character. “To
err is human to forgive divine.” We trust
all of our people, with every shade of opin
ion, will recognize this great doctrine of
huinanitv in the case of one who was ad
mired as a gallant soldier aud a prominent
and honored citizen.
Tiie vote of the Senate entities the other
to exemption from severe criticism even
though many Senators voted to con
vict him. In a jury trial a unanimous vote
is requiied to convict—Iu the Court ol Im
peach ment a majority of two thirds. This
is the law and the framers of tiie law re
cognized the right of acquittal in the ab
sence Of that two-thinls majority. The
impeached was subjected to the full re
quirement of the law, aud as those Senators,
who voted for acquittal, were the equals of
the others in ail the qualifications necessa
ry to make up a just jugdment, and were
the peers of any in purity of purpose and
devotion to truth and right, lie is entitled
to be deemed fully and honorably exempt
ed from the charges made against him.
We dismiss the painful subject with this
brief expression of our views. S.

THE SOUTH’S TRUE POLICY.
We have often pondered upon the best
plan for the South to adopt, exposed as
she is to the perpetual shafts of Northern
abuse for having sought safety in with
drawal lrom the Uinon. We see in an open
letter, published in the New York Tribune
of the 4th instant, addressed by Hon. S. B.
Chittenden, of the United States House of
Representatives, to our Senator B. H. Hill,
in which he maintains that secession or the
“rebellion” as he calls it, was a crime. This
we refer to as illustrative of the Northern
view of that great political act, and we
have no more to say about Mr. Chittenden,
or his letter, as the gentleman to whom he
has addressed it is the proper person to re
ply to it if he shall deem it worthy of auy
reply at all.
To meet Northern assaults with argu
ment seems to do but little good, still a part
of the true policy of the South is to resent
and resist them through the press, in pri
mary meetings, through our public speak
ers in Congress, and out of it, on all suita
ble occasions. This is a part of the South’s
true policy. Another, and it is tiie only
other one to which we will allude at pres
ent, is the utilizing of all the materials at
the South’s command to add to her wealth.
Already Northern writers aro referring to
the great increase of manufactories for the
production of cotton goods in somo of the
Southern States. Experience has shown
that this branch of industry pays hand
somely in the South. We have no statistics
before us, nor, in this brief article, do we
need them. It of course would be many
years before tbe South could manufacture
even a third of its cotton crop, but the in
crease of mills and spindles is rapid, and
each additional year adds to the profits
from this source. In a few years all the
coarser goods needed in the South could
bo supplied from her own mills, and at
cheaper prices than they can tie obtained
from the North or any other section of the
world. Climate, water powerj that never
fails in the summer, or freezes in the win
ter, cheap labor and exemption from all
freights for transportation, are all in the
South’s favor. It cannot be doubted that
manufacturers will come to the South from
the North and from foreign countries enti
ced by these advantages. In many sec
tions we have boundless fields of coal, and,
in a few years, to bring coal lo us from the
North will be like carrying coals to New
castle—upon Tyne. Southern farmers can
make as good hay as any imported to us
from the North, and nothing is needed but
due attention to produce supplies of Irish
potatoes equal to tiie imported. Gold mines
are being constantly discovered and this,
now a good business in many sections, will
yield many millions of dollars. We have
often wondered why our people would send
hides from Texas beyond tiie Northern
Yirginia linelo lx 1 tanned and manufactur
ed into shoes, burdened with much cost,
when they could be made as good in our
Southern sections. Foundries are spring
ing up in many sections which turn out as
good work and as cheap as that brought
from Northern foundries. In slavery times
the money obtained from slave labor was
converted into additional land and slaves,
and that will now go into factories of all
sorts, and otiier industries to which we
have alluded. Our people.will not always
sleep over tiie question of sheep husband
ry, which, as far as it might go, is more
profitable than raising cotton.
NVe might enlarge at greater length upon
the industrious resources of the South and
have alluded to a few to show how rich and
independent our section can become by a
judicious and energetic policy. Everywhere
in the world wealth is a power in itself.
NVith thousands, it secures respect greater
than the wisdom of Solomon. This to some
extent is wrong, but it is so. Every man can
see it who has only a single purblind eye,
and every man can know it whose eyes are
orbs of darkness instead of light—by
whom the ttowery earth, the sky and stars
are never seen. Then let us make our states
rich, our people independent, and our word
for it, slander will cease to hiss and distil
its poison upon us. NVhen, in the success
of Southern factories, workshops and other
industries, similar Northern industries
shall dwindle into smaller proportions,
their owners will seek our trade, and in
stead of “traitors and rebels” softer words
will salute our ears. That time will come
as sure as tiie Lord rules in Heaven. The
two great tilings to do then, is to keep a
close eye on your political rights, hold well
without avarice, the strings of your purses,
but never forget to pay your true friend the
printer.
THE “COMPACT OF UNION,” AND “THE
AGRICULTURAL AND CHEMICAL
GLOSSARY"
Believing that the people should look into
and study tiie structures of the govern
ments under which they live, we were at
great pains to prepare our articles on “the
compact of Union.” Many persons, en
grossed in their various avocations, have
not found time and many have not laid tiie
necessary opportunities to trace the histo
ry of the formation of our complex politi
cal systems. In no form of government is
it so necessary for a people to comprehend
these matters as in our institutions, which
originated with t iie people, and were in
tended to protect the liberties acquired for
them by their revolutionary ancestors. The
people theoretically and practically are the
sources of all power in our American insti
tutions. They owe it to themselves to check
every aberation from the plain terms of the
contract which they, acting through their
respective slate governments, made with
each other for the common good of all, and
especially, do they owe it to themselves to
prevent the successful accomplishment of a
long attempted treachery on the part of
consolidationists and centralists to destroy
the rightful powers of the states, and thus
throw the country into a waste of inter
minable confusion. If this terrific alK-ra
tion is not checked, one hundred years from
now. the lurid and melancholy light which
overcast tiie Roman empire in less than
one hundred years from the days of Au
gustus Uu-sar, will cover the essential ruins
of our once happy confederated Union.
We do notsav that thoerimesand villainies
accomplished in Rome within that time,
will have occurred here, but that the princi
ples which will lead to them will have been
firmly established. Liberty then! where
will it be? the despairing cry of patriots
will then be: It is lost! it is none. We have
said more than we intended in explaining
why wo devoted nine long articles to “the
compact of Union." We hope those who
had not acquainted themselves with the
important facts contained In .those articles,
and especially young men have preserved
them. They could refer to them as facts
irrefutable and indisputable. NVe prepared
with no little labor the “Agricultural and
Chemical Glossary,” which, also, was com
pleted in nine long articles. Our farming
friends would do well to pi eserve them, as,
in all tiie range of chemical terms used by
Agricultural writers there is scarcely a
word that has been omitted, and a mere
reference to the Glossary will put one in
possession of the meaning of those terms.
NVe included in this Glossary many of tiie
terms (with theii definitions) used in geo
logical science, and animal and vegetable
ph vsiology. NVe hope these articles, too,
have been preserved by those who received
them. NVe intended to insert these remarks
in the last issue of our paper, but they
were laid aside, and inadvertently over
looked.

in tho chair.
Mr. McNVhorterof Greene offered a sub
stitute setting lorth that tiie public inter
est demanded a removal of the capital from
Atlanta to Milledgeville and that the ques
tion be at once submitted to the peo
ple.
Mr. Fort, of Sumter, moved that the
committee report the bill back with the
recommendation that it do pass by sub
stitute.
Mr. Mynatt, tiie chairman, made the re
port.
Mr. Phillips, of Cobb, said he hoped the
bill would pass. His remarks that we are
satisfied that Atlanta is not place tor the
capital, seemed to strike the House and
there was applause ou tho floor of the
ilouso which was promptly suppres sed by
tiie speaker. Mr. Phillips said this Is no
jok*\ NVe are in earnest, and the people
of Georgia will indorse our action, if we
pass this bill tiiis afternoon.
Nir. Hanks, moved to lay the bill on the
table.
Mr. Rankin, in calling the previous ques
tion, said it was strange this question was
sprung so recently after the people of
Georgia had expressed their verdict upon
the question. (Applause.) The call was
not sustained.
Mr. Fort said he did not believe tho peo
ple of Georgia wanted the capital in At
lanta, and if they had beheld scenes that
have transpired in this city since tho
present session of the Legislature they
would never lie satisfied with the capital
here.
Mr. Mynatt—WH1 the gentleman speci
fy the particular charges against Atlanta?
(Applause.)
Mr. Turner, of Coweta, made a strong
speech in favor of Atlanta. Ho denied the
charge that Atlanta was in any way re
sponsible for the scenes that have recently
been enacted here. “Men never fail to find
tbe capitol. It would be as corrupt in Mil-
leiigeville as here.”
.Mr. Paine said lie was raised in Milledge
ville and ardently loved the old town, but
be hail no hopes of ever carrying the capital
back there. He had never met a single cit
izen of Atlanta who had approved the cor
ruption lately unearthed.
Air. Hanks regarded tho substitute as a
burlesque and larce,
Mr. McWhorter asked to withdraw the
substitute. Several voices shouted “no.”

THE LUNATIC ASYLU.
The Terrible Condition of an Iumate
scribed.
De-
Thursday October 9.
The Senate spent nearly ail its entire ses
sion in discussing the House railroad bill,
and adopted a substitute. The Senate pass
ed a bill amending a bill against carrying
concealed weapons, so as to allow the sher
iffs and constables to carry them in certain
cases.
. The House passed a bill amending the
law as to inspection of fertilisers.
Mr. Duvall of Richmond introduced bills
to incorporate the Stonewall Insurance
Company and the Canal Steamboat Com
pany.
A bill was passed In the House, appropri-
The undersigned “appointed as a special
committee to visit the lunatic asylum for
the purpose of examining the condition of
the same, and inquiring into the manner of
the treatment of a lunatic son of Mr. Bryan
Morris whilst he was an in mute of the in
stitution,” have had the same under con
sideration, and beg leave to submit the fol
lowing report:
On NVednesday, the 2nd instant, yourcom-
mittee repaired to the asylum, arriving
there at 4 m the aftei noon. From
that time till 8 o’clock the next morning
they made as thorough an examination of
the institution as the limited time would al
low. They found the floors, especially, very
clean, the bed-rooms, beds and bed cloth
ing, tho clotlies-rooms, and water-closets,
all in good order, as well as table cloths
and tableware generally. All that pertains
to comfortable quarters, including eating
and sleeping, your committee found to ex
ist at the time of our visit. This is true as
well of the colored as of the white patients.
NVe also examined tiie heads of many of tiie
patients, male and female, and found them
clean and in good condition. IT the con
dition of the asylum when we saw it be a
fair sample of its every day condition, we
can say very frankly, that its management
is alike creditable to the officers and tiie
state.
But your committee beg leave to submit
that the condition in which we found tiie
asylum upon the occasion of our visit, has
comparatively nothing to do with the com
plaint alleged by Mr. Morris as to tho con
dition of his son at tiie time lie removed
him from the Institution, the first week in
August last. This rests upon its own proof,
as made by the parties at issue, and must
bs settled by the nature and character of
tho testimony submitted. Mr. Morris al
leges that lie accompanied by his wife visi
ted tiie asylum tiie 2nd day of August last,
arriving in the forenoon ; that he proceed
ed at once to Dr. Powell, tiie superinten
dent’s office, that lie asked first to see his
son and afterwards to see him, in his ward,
which latter request was denied; that after
some considerable time, at least uno hour
and perhaps two, that his son was brought
to the office by bis attendant Air. Curry.
The above is not denied by any one except
as to tiie time between the call and delivery
of his son, tho attendant alleging that the
time was only about fifteen minutes. Air.
Morris further alleges that he found his
son in a very feeble condition, so much so
that he feared that he would die in a few
minutes; that his hands were cold and his
head wet from having been washed only
a few moments before. He further alleges
that he was in the company or his son Sat
urday evening, Sunday morning and even
ing, and also Alondav morning, but never
in his ward, and that lie on several occa
sions picked lice from Ilia neck, face and
clothing. He however made no report of
this to Dr. Powell or any ollicor or attend
ant of the institution. Air. Morris lurther
alleges that he, with Dr. Powell’s consent,
removed his son from the asylum Monday
afternoon, and coming through Atlanta, ar
rived at Adairsville by 8 o’clock Tuesday
morning; that he repaired at once to the
house of his brother-in-law, NV. C. Terry,
and that there, in presence of Mr. Terry and
his family, the lunatic’s mother combed out
a large number of lice of different kinds
and scraped them into a shovel of hot em
bers, there being too many to undertake to
kill otherwise. This Tact is fully testified to
by Mr. Terry’s-certilicate, now in the hands
of your committee. Alr. Morris further
alleges that after his wife, assisted by Mrs.
Terry, had washed, combed and dressed his
son, removing ail the vermin that could be
done on that occasion, lie. after the lapse
of three hours took tiis soil to Dr.
J. NV. Bowdoin, a resident physician of
Adairsville, who examined him thorough
ly and testified • hat “In-was very greatly
emaciated, a mere skeleton of skin and
bones and all the surface of the body and
limbs was bitten with body lice” “and there
was also on his person a full crop of dice
eggs,i nits on those parts of the body cov
ered with hair. This testimony of l)r. Bow-
doin’s from which the above extract s were
made, was put in the solemn form of an af
fidavit, subscrilicd and sworn to before a
notary public of Adairsville.
The same evening that these examina
tions were made Air. Morris took his son
home, sixteen miles distant, and within the
space of three days, three of his neighbors,
to-wit: John Mills, T. NV. Henson and NV.
R. Cook, all citizens of Floyd county, called
in aud examined him and swear to the fol
lowing facts in their affidavit made out
October 2, 1879: “That they saw Thomas
Morris, son of NV. B. Morris, of this county,
soon after his return from the lunatic asv
lum at Milledgeville early in the month
of August last, and examined him, the said
Thomas Morris, and saw nits and large
numbers of both head and body lice on the
head and body of him, the said Thomas
Morris; John "Mills and T. NV. Henson
swearing to the fact of tho nits being on
him and NV. R. (kx)k, to the fact that lice
were on him in large numbers.
The character of these witnesses for
“truth and veracity, and men in whose
oaths the utmost eon lidence may be placed,”
was eertifled to by twenty-six of their
neighbors, all substantial citizens of Floyd
county, and their character as men of good
standing is further endorsed by Thaddous
Everett, N. P., in whose presence these
names were subscribed.
During these same throe days Mr. Osborn
Reevos, a citizon of Gordon county saw
Mr. Morris’s son, and testified that “his
head and body were covered witli nits, the
eggs of lice, and his body was eaten in holes
by tbe lice.”
The evidence submitted in this case" Is
most in the form of affidavits and certifi
cates by substantial citizens of Floyd and
Gordon counties whose veracity cannot be
called in question, and altogether presents
an unbroken chain, eacli link connecting
with the other in such a way as to carry con
viction to any unbiased mind. NVe consid
er, therefore, the case of M r, Morris as ful
ly made out, and the committee are brought
irresistibly to the conclusion, from the evi
dence presented, that Mr. Alorris’s son had
lice upon his person when he left the luna- •
tic asylum. How long these vermin may
have been upon him prior to his removal,
or what may have been his treatment, your
committee have no knowledge and there
fore offer no opinion, but suggest it as a
significant fact that the young man. since
his return, has greatly improved in health
and increased In weight from thirty to for
ty pounds.
Your committee have no disposition to
Ignore or underrate the weight of evidence
on the other side. The officers and em-
f iloycs of the institution all swear posltive-
y that Mr. Morris’s son had no lice or oth
er vermin on his head or person after the
firet week of his admission into the asylum.
They affirm that such a thing is not com
mon, nor has been with auy of the inmates;
that they take special pains to rid newly
admitted patients of vermin, and prevont
their recurrence afterwards. They further
testified that the appearance of tbe asylum
on the dav of our visit was but a fair sam
ple of its daily condition for the last twelve
months. In the midst of such conflicting,
contradicting and irreconcilable statements
your committee will not take the responsi
bility of making any recommendation, but
submit the facts and the evidence, as above
cited, to the house of representatives for
them to take such action in the premises as
their wisdom may suggest.
All of which is respectfully submitted.
