UNION & RECORDER. Milledgeville, January 26,1886. EDITORIAL GLIMPSES. Mr. Randal, the accomplished Wash ington correspondent of the Augusta Chronicle, says: “Many intelligent Democrats emphatically predict that both the great parties are about to disintegrate. It is said they will go to pieces on the money question, the tariff, and civil service reform. The division will unfortunately be geo graphical. I have for many years fa vored an alliance of the East with the smith Atlantic States, but puritanism and bad leadership at the North, have made this coalition almost impossible. The West and South are driven to gether in community of interests, against the East, and one of Calhoun’s prophetic utterances seems about to become historic fact. In this connec- tion 1 send you a recent interview with Senator lngals, which lets much light upon this subject. He is certain of the Southern alliance, on economic questions, prefers to demonetise gold instead of silver, is implacably hostile to Eastern bankers and bondholders, and feels confident that political pow er is soon to drift from old to new cen tres. The West attributes the fall in the price of wheat to Eastern machin ations, while the South is satisfied that her cotton is depressed by the same system of finance. So it is con tended that the seeds of dissolution are planted in both parties, and that wonderful changes are just ahead. The acts of Congress, the conduct of the Administration and next years elec tions will tell the story.” We cop}' this much from Mr. Ran dal's letter, simply to say we fear there is too much truth in it. We cannot tell liow much we exulted in Mr. Cleveland’s election, for we thought we saw a prospect of wise and happy rule for many years to come, but we were staggered by the civil service rule and the President’s position on the silver question. Our devotion to the Democratic party has induced us to maintain long continued silence. The readers of the Union & Recor der have plainly seen that we are opposed to the civil service policy, and our aversion to it has been in creased by the methods to enforce it. Then came along with it the policy to stop the coinage of silver. The rich men of the North, hold the great mass of the gold in their hands, and to demonetise silver would enhance tlielvalue of gold and add immensely to the power of the bondholdera and monopolists. It would enable them to control, in a great degree, the price of our agricultural productions, such as cotton, wheat, corn, and meat. We do not care to enter at large at pres ent into the discussion of these mat ters, and are satisfied merely to refer to them, and to say that this state of things seems to force an alliance of the West and the South. We saw the troubles months ago and could 6ee no escape from them unless Mr. Cleve- land would see the difficulty, and in some way modify his policy. We do not care to say more now, but we would rejoice at any change that would keep up the old Democratic party in a firm union of principle, compatible with the just expectations of the people, and especially of the ag riculturalists. upon whose’ prosperity depends the aggregate prosperity of all the people of the United States. We will have more to say upon these topics at another time. Free Trade England. The Macon Telegraph quotes a London telegram which says: “the great steel manufacturer, Marshall, of Sheffield, is about to remove his entire works to America. The firm employs about 3.000 men Ac.” It also informs its readers that “the British ship building industry fell from 1,250,000 tons in 1881 to 750,000 tons in 1884 and will not exceed 540,000 for the past year.” Our esteemed contemporary, under the influence of its tariff pro clivities. infers, substantially, that England’s decrease in ship-building results from its being a free trade country and that the great manufac turer's removal to the jU. [S. was owing to England’s free trade and to our tariff policy combined. Inasmuch as the present free trade policy has prevailed in England for many years it is somewhat remarka ble that-it has not produced these re- • suits at an earlier day. An old man of 1*0 years of age being told that the use of tobacco was a slow poison re plied “yes, it must be mortal slow, for T have been using it 80 years and it hasn't killed me yet.” So it seems to ns in regard to England's free trade polievjit was mortal “slow,” tosay the least of it, in producing the evil results commented on by the Telegraph, and in fact the reference that it did pro duce such resuits seems to us utterly without foundation. Attempt to Burn Sandersville. A Sandersville* dispatch dated the 19th instant to the Macon Telegraph states that at !U o’clock on the pre vious evening. Mr. ^Maurice Conen discovered a light in the confectionery store of Mr. E. W. McCarty, which had been closed and locked for the night. McCarty was hunted up and when found refused the earnest solic itations of Cohen to go and make an examination into the matter, but fi nally gave the latter his key and went to his home. Cohen and others immedi ately hastened to the store and on opening it. found that the light emi- nated from a carefully prepared plan to burn the building* and the town. An oyster can, filled with kerosene oil. sat near the wall where the plas tering. which had fallen, left the bare laths a tempting morsel for the flam es. and light wood splinters were plac ed leaning against the can, which had a lighted candle standing up in it that liad burned to within half an inch of the oil. “Ten minutes more delay” says tliedispatch, ,l and the fire department of New York could not have saved the town.” The dispatch further says, “McCar ty’s store stood about Midway of o wooden range of fourteen stores, all occupied, and the range forms the east side of the public square, and at either end is separated from oth er ranges by narrow streets, so that bad the flames got under headway, not a business house could have been saved, and the Gilmore House, Sandersville Hotel, Mercury office, residences of Mr. Happ/C. R. Pringle, E. A. Sullivan, W. A. McCarty and inanv others, would have but served to increase and spread the fearful flames.” . “McCarty was found at Ins resi due and, after considerable resis tance. was arrested and lodged first in tiie calaboose from whence the May or, for prudential reasons, had him removed to the county jail. PUNISH THE INCENDIARY. Having in mind the attempt to burn Sandersville elsewhere related, we remark that incendiarism is only ]. ,-s atrocious than murder, and in many eases results in the taking of life. ’ We congratulate the good citi zens of Sandersville that they refrain ed from visiting immediate punish ment upon the scoundrel, who by his own actions made it plain that he had planned and tried to execute this great crime against his unoffending and unsuspecting fellow citizens. The temptation must have been very hard to withstand. And now let the law vindicate its claim to be the rightful arbiter in such matters by inflicting certain and adequate punishment on the criminal. A lax administration of the law leaves no alternative to the people other than to take the matter of the protection of theirlives and prop er! v into theif own hands and to made the retribution for crime both swift and terrible. The only way to stop Lynch law is to make the law of the land, what it is intended to be, ‘a terror to evil doers.” It is because tiie law is not a terror, that crime is so rampant in the land. The government of Spein has drawn the attention of France to suspicious movements of < ’ai lists and republicans on the frontiers and asked her to prevent any hostile demonstration jigainst Spain from French terri tory. _ Deputations of Loyalists who ure opposed to Irish Home Rule, it is stated in late foreign news, were snubbed by both Saulsbury and Gladstone. Gold versus Silver. Senator Morrill in his recent speech on the silver question repeated the argument, considered so strong and conclusive by the anti-silver party, that the “continued coinage of large amounts of silver would drive all gold out of the country,” which statement Tax Receiver. The committee on Tax Receiver's books find them correct and nocliange in the same since the meeting of last Grand Jury. < 'l,krk ok Superior Court. The books of this officer have been examined and all papers and records he said “was based on the past experi- ,a °^ ee neatly preserved, ence of all civilized people that an in- Poor House. ferior money never failed to expel a The committee to examine into the superior. Senator Brown however, Poor House report that there are a few days since plainly proved that France, with very much less popula tion carried, a much larger silver cur rency, than this country. Yet there is no movement of go’ld from that country. England .also carries a large silver currency, notwithstanding gold is the only coinage that is a legal tender and silver bullion is some 20 per cent below par in gold, and still we hear of no trouble concerning these matters in that country. The fact is. the theories of Mr. Morrill and lii 4 brother “gold bugs” may appear somewhat plausible, but they fail to be sustained by facts as thev now exist in the great inanv centres of the world. Death of Christ ; an Frederick. Mr. Christian Frederick died at i.Js home in Midway, near the Asylum, last Saturday night. He was r Ger man, about forty years of age, and for several years past the competent and efficient baker at the Asylum. For some months past it was thought be had consumption, but the immediate cause of his death was pneumonia. He leaves a wife and cb : !d. He was buried yesterday in our city cemetery. Warren Bell, the colored porter of the store of A. Joseph. Esq., was mar ried in Eatonton, on Wednesday, 20tli inst., to Miss Mollie Reid, of that town, the ceremony being performed by Rev. G. W. Fears. Warren was born and raised here and has the es teem of many white as well as colored friends. We hope he and liD bride will have a happy and prosperous voyage on the somewhat uncertain sea of matrimony. Owing to the very inclement weath er last Sunday, the Baptist congrega tion was small, and the vote on the site for the new church was postpon ed until next Sunday. Superior Court.

Cocnty^Judge Records. The committee appointed to exam ine the records of this officer, find his criminal docket unsatisfactory. Hia docket shows from January term to July term, P-S3, in collection of fines one hundred and eighty dollars and fifty cents. In cost due the county eighty-three dollar-; aggregating two hundred and sixty-three dollars and fifty cents. His vouchers showing money acccountecl for one hundred and fifty two dollars, showing in his hands a balance of one hundred and eleven dollars and fifty cents, which amount should be paid to officers of court as insolvent cost. We request, from now out, that said Judge of the County Court fill out all blanks on his criminal docket, and keep a cash ac count of all monies received and paid out by him. We recommend that the salaiy .,f the County Judge remain the same. We have appointed J. M. Edwards, H. Perry and J. W. Vinson a commit tee to make a settlement with Judge Ramsey from January term, 1885, to January term. 1886, and report to the next Grand Jury at the July term, and that they be allowed a compensation for the same of two dollars and fifty cents per diem each, for each day occu pied in making such settlement. We respectfully recommend the Or dinary to insure the bridge over the Oconee river against storms and cy clones. for a sum to be left discretion ary with said officer. To his Honor. Judge Lawson, we tender our special thanks for his clear charge and courtesies, and to Solicitor General Whitfield, who has given us so much of his time and attention,.we are also under obligations, and trust that we may be always so fortunate in having such officers.’ We recommend that these present ments ’ >e published in the city papers.

We the Grand Jurors, chosen and sworn for this term of the Superior Court of Baldwin County, submit the following: We have appointed appropriate committees to examine and enquire into the affairs of the count}- and find; Roads and Bridees. The committee on roads and 'nidges report that the roads of the county are in a very bad condition and re commend- that the Ordinary have them put in order at once, and that the Grand Jury appoint a committee from this body to prosecute all Com missioners who fail to put said roads in order and that the expense be paid by the county. We recommend that a good, new and substantial bridge h. built over Fishing creek, on the Ma con road. The bridge over Oconee river needs repairs, the bridge is giv ing away and is not properly cared for, the dirt is not kept out, which is essential to its preservation and if not cleaned, will cause the bridge to rot very soon. The bridge over Town creek near Whitaker's, also needs ; some repairs. The bridge over t'le i creek near fcjcottsboro, also needs re pairs. Public Buildings. The committee on public buildings have examined the same and find the Jail and outbuildings in bad coi - dition. and the fences around the J.di out of order and need repairing. The Jail, we recommend be made strong er, as in its present condition, it is tin- I safe. The vard around the Jail is in ; a bad condition, caused by the run ning of cows in the same ahd we im >st earnestly request that this be prohibi- i ted. It not only presents an unsiglit- j ly appearance, but endangers the health of its inmates. We recommend that the old fencing around the old $2,273 90 Ordinary.
