I should l>e willing to rest it on that pica alone. I ant certain that the people of Georgia by a very large majority are opposed to hanging women. In pot ting the issue pluinply to twenty- eight persons, approached at random, and embracing all elas-c-. I found twenty six WHO WERE EQUALLY ol-l-osEll TO IT. I believe that this proportion would be maintained in a poll of tbe Stale. The people of Georg.a were shocked al and did condemn tile execution of Aliss Ebei'hart, although she helped to commit an nttroeious and wanton murder, unrelieved by a single palli- lory circumstance. The writer of this sustained Governor Smith in his refusal to intetfere, and knows very well that he wrote in the teeth of four- fifths of his readers when In- did so. 'The hanging oT women is unneces sary and brutal. In decreeing pan ishmeut Tor a class of persons, it seems to me that the law might be satisfied if the punishment was cer tain, and of such a nature that it would protect society from the crimi nals of that class. Wc cannot expect the Inw to end with throwing u mur derer into prison, because his strength boldness and address will enable him to escape and attack society again.— ft is a poor prison barrier that will not hold a woman. AVhen a murder ess is sent to the penitentiary, society may cease to trouble itself about her. She is powerless to injure it further. Wc never find a woman that is im bued with murderous instincts.— Whenever she kills, it is in some ter rible outburst of passion that is phe nomenal and can hardly repeat itself. It is safe to say that eight murders out of ten are committed through the llgg.'-tion or influence of whisky— an influence to which men are habit ually subject and from which women are almost entirely free. Of one thousand murders hardly more than ten will lie found to have been com mitted by women. These things sug gest that a lighter punishment might be decreed for women than for men. I believe that the time will come when the law will prescribe that a woman shall not go to the gallows, ii is true that there is more sentiment than argument in favor oft his reform, lint most of the great revolutions of this world have been based on a -en- tinient. A REVIEW OF TIIE SOTIIFIIX CASE. But this Sothern ease rests on its own merits. Indeed, a shrewd ob server said to me the other day : It she bad been a man the jury would never have convicted her." in oilier words, a husband might have killed a man who tried lo come between himself and his wile, and have . cupcd death, but a woman who at tempts lo preserve the saereilne— of her domestic relations must die. It you. sir, knew that a man bud been too intimate with your wife, you would kill him without waiting for the provocation of a further contact. And the law would sustain yon. A jury acquitted Sickles, whokiiled Key for having led his wifeastray. Would it have acquitted Airs. Sickle- if-In- hail killed a woman who had non her husband from her side ?" The history of the Sothcru ea-c in its details can never be written. The main points are these: 1st. Miss Kate ilambriek and Mis- Fowler were bitter rival's for Soih- em’s love. They were openly and earnestly enemies. Miss Fowler had been married to a man named Cow art, from whom site was separated. 2nd Airs. Sothern bud reason to be lieve that Aliss Fowler was determin ed to prevent her marriage if pn-;i- ide, and to separate her husband from her after the marriage bad been con summated. Her story of what her husband confessed to her. anil what she heard from various source... i- pitifill in the extreme. 3. 'The killing was not a deliberate murder but a renebuntre brought about by many conspiring pn.vn.a lions, and precipitated at last pn-sibli by Aliss Fowler herself. Alrs.Siiihern says that she was sitting on the lied with her husband when Aliss Fun lor stopped in front of her and said: “Now Kate Sothcru, I'm ready for you!" 'This was said defiantly. Kate arose and said : “All right!" A - -lie rose Miss Fowler caught her by the hair and pulled her forward. After this she savs she remembers nothing more until she was in another romi'i and her mother was wiping the blood off her bands. This is Mr-, .jotliern'i own account of the killing. THE IXITIIF.XT sTIt.l. MORE niiiumii.y appeals for Mrs. ,Sothern's lit','. Iter story is that she was so uiiiib afraid of Aliss Fowler -afraid of her influence over her hushaiid. and of personal violence to herself that-he persuaded Bob jothcrn to move out Of the neighborhood. While lil inf ill their new home, her health bivime very had. She had three epil.q.iie tils on Monday before the killing, which unnerved and unhalani'eil In r. This, .-aided lolhcknowlrdge lh:u -he was soon lo heroine a inolher ** prostrated her that her husband ear I ied her lo her mother's, where sfie might have the trcalincnt neres-an II was the first night after her arrival Hint the party came oil' at whii'li the killing took place. Mrs Sothern was not participating ill the parly. She said she was tired sick and nervous, and was sitting up simply because she could not go to bed while the house was full of gue-ls. She says she never ilaneed in her life and was never nl a dance except this one. She is a member of the Baptist ■ liiiivh. and was at the time of tin- killing in good sbinding in the rliuivh. She i- nolliin;: more than a girl be ing only nineteen years of ago. She will he twenty lit July. A novrible complication of her ease is presented by the fact that she will become again a mother in October if she is not hung next month. THE COURSE OF HER COURSED The motion for a new trial was not heard ou Alonday last, and we under stand that her counsel - have . almpst abandoned the policy of further ap peals to the courts. 'They will carry i he ease directly to the Governor, and will rest everything upon hU decision. The [tapers iu the case have been made out and petitions circulated through Pickens county. The'matter will he formally laid before the Gov- cruor to-day, and will probably ex haust a week or two. 1 learn that nearly every citizen of Pickens county, and the brothers of the dead woman have agreed to sign tin- petition of commutation. The jury that convicted MrtL Sothern have signed it. and have also certified that if they had known a recommendation to mercy would have sent her to the p.-iiitoniinry instead of the.gallows, they would have made it We hear that Judge Lester has said that the sentence ,-honld be commuted, and will so advise the Governor. We Ini ve no positive information. about i his. The petions arc signed by near ly every one in the county in which the killing took place. The matter has excited a uational interest. It is discussed by the whole press of the country, which, almost without exception, calls for a com mutation. The Governor has re ceived packages of letters, -asking that the sentence be commuted, many of them corniug from the Northern State,. Two monster petitions are being circulated through the city of Atlanta, anil are being aigned wher ever presented. And thus the matter stands. I have no syllable to utter against the wo man whose life was iosL If she had faults, they were buried with her in the grave. But I do believe that the condemned woman should be saved from the gallows. The letters that I have received since my first article was published, convince me that the public sentiment is overwhelmingly in favor of commutation. I beg, then, that this will be made manifest. Let petitions, addressed to the Governor, come up to the capital from every hamlet iu the State. Let every mati or woman who reads this article, and who sympathizes with the object in which it is written, make their sympathy manifest. If the Gov ernor's decision is adverse, Mrs. Sothern will hang on the 21st of June. COD STYLES IN THE CITY'—NEW AFFIDA VITS AND NEW DEVELOPMENTS. Col. C’arcv W. Styles, counsel for condemned woman, reached the city yesterday with the papers in the case, and a lot of her evidence. WITH nit EAT SKILL AND PATIENCE i Ml. Styles has collected a mass of af fidavits bearing directly ou this case which he will offer to the Governor this morning. These affidavits throw much new light on the ease, and we cannot help thinking that if they had been intro duced in the trial w’ould have secured the acquittal of Airs. Sothern. They deal directly with the relations o’f Sol hern with Aliss Fowler, and show the woman's provocation under which Mrs. Sothern labored. They are all properly attested, and come "from re- speclabie witnesses. ml.. STYLE'S SUPERB SPEECn, in defence of the condemned woman, tie have heard praised time and again a- one of the very finest specimens of eloquence. There are few more bril liant men than Col. Styles, and when lie is aroiisd he is extremely eloquent, lie will be a power in the criminal practice of North Georgia. Mortimer Pitts. GENERAL DIRECTORY DOUGHERTY COUNTY. Judge Superior Tourt—«. J.

I >E.vt: Journ al : We arrived safcly utt the Fair Grounds ol’ the Southwest Georgia industrial Association this afternoon. Found the Fair in full !da-l n itli.m attendance of over 2,500. The Main Building, just completed, is the most elegant aud commodious one we have yet seen, iu fact, it is the finest one in tins State. It is filled to overflowing with the products of the farm, garden and household. The display, we candidly think, has neyer been surpassed in Georgia. Thomas- ville will have to look to her laurels. The race track is an excellent one. We had somo exciting races this af- ternoon.lhe particulars of which space will not admit al present. The President aud ail the officers of tlic Association are untiring in their efforts to please visitors, and make them comfortable. President Welch is emphatically the man for the place. The people of Albany are jubilani over tbe success of their first effort, and of course, good humored and kind. A great crowd of strangers are here. Terrell well represented. We are glad to state that the ubiquitous and talented Col. II. H. Jones, of tjie Telegraph ami Messenger, is here taking copious notes, for no pen but his can approach an adequate descrip tion of the grand display. Dr. T. P. Janes. Commissioner of Agriculture, is also here. ; Failing, on account of the groat crowd, to get accommodations at our usual stopping place, we were so for tunate as to secure elegant lodging at Capt. T. II. Johnston’s. Capt. Jones, Judge Bell and Cols. Parks and Iloyl are at the same place. Mra. J. is in teresting us in elegant and loyal style. This is written in the office of the Albany News, its editors are busy getting out their daily. We ate sorry that a lack of space will not permit us to particularize, can only repeat, generally, that the •Uhaui Fair is a complete, a ijratitV- iitg and a glorians success.
