No. 5 WniTAKER Street, SAVANNAH, GA. General Presentment*. OF THE— Grand Jury-Fall Terra. 187». Dougherty Superior Court. Tolhe Honorable Superior Court of Dougherty County : We, the Graml Jurors, rlioscii anil sworn for the October term, 1871), beg leave to submit the fol lowing General Presentments: Through appropriate committees we have examined the books, re- cords and dockets of the Ordinary, Clerk, Sheriff and Justices of the Peace, and find them neatly and, in ourjiidgmcnt, correctly kept. The public buildings we find gen- orally in good order, out needing some repairs, as follows: We re commend that the blinds of the Court House be repaired, also, that strips be nailed across the walls of the Jury rooms, and hooks be screwed in them to serve as hat- racks. The fence around the court house yard needs some repairs; the Jailor also reports that more fastenings are needed for the Jail as a matter of security. We re speetfully call the attention of our Commissioners to these matters. We learn that the last Grand Jury granted some parties permis sion to pasture cattle in the conrt house yard; wc respectfully recom mend that this permission be with drawn, and that our Commissioners be instructed not to allow any cat tle or stock of any kind to be pas tured or kept there. The roads and bridges with few exceptions, we find in very good condition. We would, however, call the attention of onr County Commissioners to the bridge across Piney Woods creek, and also to the bridge and turn-pike across Coola wahee creek, at the crossing known as Jordan's Ford, and recommend that these crossings be put in good condition at once. A careful examination of the tax book satisfies us that as a general thing that property has been given in at a fair valuation. We, how ever, have found a few returns, which, in onr judgment, are too low, and which we have raised to what we deem a fair valuation, a notice of which has been furnished to the Receiver. We have made a very careful ex amination of the Wild Land trans actions in this county, and do not hesitate to say, from all the inform ation we can obtain, that they were strictly legitimate, he Sher iff, J. W. Mayo, returning all the money to the Comptroller, after taking out his commissions and the printer's fees. And, in this con nection, wc desire to say, that acting nnder the charge of His Honor, Judge Wright, we have carefulty examined the acts and doings of all onr connty officials, and we are proud to say that we find no ‘-crookedness/’ in any of their transactions. Oar attention has been called to the slaughtering house on the river road at E. E. Drinkwater’s place, which has become so offen sive that horses can scarcely be driven past it. We respectfully ask oar Commissioners to have the same removed from the road-side. We find that onr Commissioners have in course of erection four dou ble houses, to be used for pauper purposes. We find in the hospital fifteen nmates—eleven white, four color ed—all of whom report themselves well fed and properly cared for. We find the account of our Treas urer correct, a copy of which is here unto annexed, marked “Exhibit A." We find all the bonds ol the county officials fully secured and properly recorded. Public education has also received our attention. No returns, howev er, have been made to us, us tbe law requires the Commissioner to re port only to the Spring Term. in conclusion, we return our sin cere thunks to His Honor, Judge G. J. Wright, for his uniform kindness to ns during this term of the Supe rior Court. Also to the Solicitor, Win. 0. Fleming, anil to Win. Oli ver, the Solicitor pro tern, for uni form courtesy, advice and assistance in our labor. We recommand that these pre sentments be published in both our city papers—the News and Adeer- tirrr. All of which is respectfully sub scribed. A. Steuse, Foreman. T. r. IJcPoxt, If. T. Mash, W. If. I\uamoot,A. M. Woiumx, Ji. F. Wir.DEB, \V. A. Leouetteu* Jos. Ehrlich, M. W. 'J'homfxinh' F. C.

It appears from figures furnished the committee on railroads of tlic Xcw York Assembly that the elevat ed railroads of New York city did a profitable business in the last three months. They carried 12.012.030 pm- sengers, and received $000,082.20.— Their receipts will probably foot up $4,000,000 a year in a very short time.

The tempting liaiL was lacerated badly. A Now Market Crop. Brunswick Advertiser ] We allude to upland rice. From time immemorial the lowland rice crop of this and other states has prov en n source of vast revenue to the fortunate possessursof lands adjacent lo tide-water. The southern rice- plantcr has always revelled in luxu ry. Onlv tills year a gentleman on the Great Ogecclieepurchased a place for $17,000, and lias paid the entire amount from the proceeds of this year's crop on tip- place, or. rather, lias made rice enough to do this it he lias iio mishap, lint it is not of the lowland rice as a market crop that we would write, hut of a new indus try—the upland rice. Last week wc gave a short extract from the Baxley Gazette touching this new crop. Since then ivc have passed over part of the 15. & A. Railroad, and conversed with business men along the route, and find, to our astonish ment, that upland rice is now being largely planted as a market crop.— One gentleman informed us that lie could have purchased 1,300 bushels in his neighborhood. The great feature in planting this rice is that the yield per acre, ns com pared with corn, is about double.— Land, for instance, that will yield only ten bushels of corn will produce twenty of rice.

Philadelphia Record.] Your correspondent reminded Sen ator Hill that the Republican and In dependent papers have been persist ently claiming that Georgia in the next election will be carried liy the Independents. He replied: “Noth ing is further from the truth. The Democratic parly is stronger in Geor gia now than it ever was before. .Sev eral months ago there was danger of an opposition movement, audit form idable one, too, to tin: Democracy.— The corruptions of the ring of Dcm ocralic officials at the State capital had produced great dissatisfaction, aid there was only one course left for the party—that was to expose and punish those officials and pledge the people honest government. That course was pursued by the Legisla ture—and it is the best legislator ever saw—and the party is again united and solid. There will not lie enough of the Independents to offer any opposition to Ihe Democrats next year. We will carry the Stale I over the usual majority. A Curiosity. Wc were slio;v yesterday a lien egg which is a curiosity.

A gen tleman in Fierce county lias recently gathered thirty htnhcls of this rice i'roin 1 acres of ordinary pine laud, and this at $1.23 per bushel make the nice little sum of $3(1.23, or over $20 per acre. \V here is there a farm er who realizes more than this on cotton in these days of low prices?

Owners of pine land, you have a rich hominzn in your own right and tide. Improve il, and thus enjoy that independence you so much wish. We know of nothing to-day that will pay you a better dividend on the same amount of labor and capital than the cultivation of upland rice on your piuc limits, now so little valued by you. Try it the coming yenr. Cincinnati Southern. That trains will run regularly be tween Cincinnati and Chattanoogaby thc 1st of January is not doubted by tliose who know anything about the progress of the work. The weather has been quite favorable for the con tractors and everything looks bright for them. The northern end of the line, we arc informed, lias reached New river—21(1 miles from Cincinna ti and 3!) miles from Somerset, Ky It is calculated that It will take about six weeks to erect a bridge ever New river, and by that lime the lower di vision will also have readied the riv er. The work on this eml is pro gressing finely. The first Rock Creek bridge is completed ami the other will be readied and completed this week, leaving about 20 miles, includ ing two small bridges, to be complet ed. There is now at Rock creek, arviiiting transportation, fifteen miles of iron, spikes, etc. Ties are placed far ahead, and the way is now clear to put down a mile ami more a day The Wasson Car Works have com pleted forty cars for this road. The schedule time to begin with will be thirteen hours between Cin ciuuati and Chattanooga.—Times. A lady says: “Wo read a great deal about the extravagance of wives and of gil ls marrying without know ing how to cook or take euro family. I should like to ask who is to blame for this slate of affairs?— Girls will be girls, ami it will ho use less to try to make women of them until they arc old enough. If young men insist upon marrying girls be lore they are hardly out of school before they are old enough to assume Ihe responsibility of motherhood tlioy must abide by (lie consequences' The girls don’t propose lo the voting men, neither do they urge au ral ly marriage; il is the young men that do this; and many a young girl ha been coaxed into marriage when she felt she was too young, by the same young man who will, after marriage, fret hucniiHC his child wife can’t cook as tho mother did.” A sham-poo—Affected contempt. Accidentally Iniim-cnt. No lawyer like* going into court with n thoroughly luiil case—yet how an lie help it sometimes? I should have more patience with the question, “l>o you think il right to defend a mail whom you believe to be guilty ?” were It less freqiicutlv asked by the people who spend six days in the week seeking to get the upper hand of their, neighbors, and the seventh to circumvent their Mak er. To tlie honest inquirer I com mend the answer Dr. Johnson once gave to Roswell: “Sir, the lawyer is not the judge.” Was it my place when George Gil bert’s little sorrow-worn wife, with tears glistening in her eyes besought me to do wlint I could for her im prisoned husband, virtuously to turn my back and leave her lircil, strug gling horrt to break or not. as it migjii? I was neither a priest or a Levitc to find a ready excuse for pass ing on the other side! Yet what could X do? George Gilbert had been sent on n collecting tour, and had gambled away money for his cm- doyers. It was a plain case of cm- lozzleuient, and the penalty' was a term of years in the state prison. I’m sure lie never meant to he dis honest,” pleaded the loyal little wo man : “lie wns templed by a crafty and designing man, but instead oi running away, ns others would have done, he came hack and confessed his fault, ottering to let his whole sulary go toward making up the lost mon ey till every cent is paid. Mr. Meek, the junior partner, was inclined to he merciful, hut Mr. Mangle, the head of the house, who returned just then after a year's absence, insisted that the law should take its course.” 1 gave what poor consolation I otild, for lawyers, like doctors, must keep their patients’ courage up at hues.' In the first place I’ll see Mangle & Meek,” 1 said. “Mr. Mangle may be brought to hear reason, after all, if he can only be made to seo his inter est in it.” The pale and despondent face cheered up a little. My words seem ed to hare inspired a sort of undefin ed hope which I was far from feeliug myself. Mr. Mangle received me with a stony politeness. “Y'oung man," his manner said, Don’t waste time in appeal to sen timent ; von won’t if you’ll just look at me.” I took the hint and came at once to business; repeated Gilbert’s oiler, and put it as strongly as possible that more was to be gained by- leniency titan harshness—all of which Mr Man gle listened to with, a^conscicutious scowl. I cannot be a party^lo compound ing a felony,” he answered with a oleum intonation. “Nor have I asked you,” I replied, not n little nettled. “I have merely mentioned a plan of paying hack your own, leaving it to your own generos ity and good judgment to press or not to press the prosecution. Oh, it’s all the same," was the con temptuous rejoinder; “anybody but a lawyer, with his head full of quips and quibbles, could see that. Be sides, there's something rather cool in the proposal to retain your friend in our employ, under pretence of working out the money lie has stolen, with the opportunity of filching twice as much money in the meantime.” I felt my temper rising, and not caring to imperii my client's interest by an outright quarrel, I took a hasty leave. Had I been in'thc'prisoner’s place on the morning fixed for t]ie trial I could not have ascended tho court house steps with more’reliictancc than 1 did ; and when I entered the court house and found Gilbert and his wife already there, anil noted tho hopeful look with wliich tho .'latter greeted my coming, my heart sickened at the thought of the bitter disappointment coming. The People versus Gilbert!” call ed out the judge, aftcr..disposing of some formal matters. A jury was Immediately impaneled and the ease opened by the district attorney. Mr. Mock was tho first witness.- The nervous, hesitating manner in which lie gave his evidence would have greatly damaged its^cffcct, hud it not evidently arisen from a dispo sition to do the prisoner as little hurt as possible. Bui no softening could break the terrible force of the facts lie was compelled to relate. In his partner's absence he bad em ployed (ieorge Gilbert as clerk; had found him competent and trustwor thy ; bad sent hint ou a trip to make collections; on bis return he had ac knowledged that after receiving a considerable sum he wns induced by a respectable-looking gentleman with whom lie lind casually fallen In, to join a soe : nl game of cards; at first they played for amusement then for money ; and after losing all his. own in the hope of retrieving his loss, with the fatal infatuation which attends the first infection of that dreadful vice, whose end is swift destruction, lie had hazarded and lost the last dollar lie held in trust for his otnploy crs. Mr. Meek’s voice fnllcrod as lie closed Ids narrative, lie was going to volunteer something about, the prisoner's previous good character when a disapproving glance from Mr Mangle brought him to a halt. Just then the prisoner olinnccd to turn his head, and, ratching sight of the senior partner, who had just en tered and wns standing among the crowd, he started quickly; then lie whispered in my car. Turn aside your fuce, I whispered back. And the case lor (he prosccii lion being closed— “llavo you any witnesses for tho defence?” inquired tho judge. “I will call llezekinli Manglo,” I replied. A buss of surprise greeted the an nouncement, in tho midst of which Mr. Mangle stepped forward and was sworn. “You liavo been absent for the last year, Mr. Mangle?” 1 begnn. “I have,” “Traveling in different parts?" “Yes, sir. “The prisoner wns employed by your partner in your absence, anil wns arrested about tho time of your elurii?” “Hiteli was (lie enso.” “Have you ever seen him ?’’ “Not to iny knowledge.” “Or met him in your travels?” “If l.c will turn Ids lace this way n tell bolter.” At my bidding Gilbert turned and fared (lie witness. I’lie effect was electrical, Mr. Man- i turned pule and red by turns. 'One other question, Mr. Mangle. - you recognize in Hie defendant a young man trom whom you won » Ilioiisnml dollars at poker while on .vour travels?” anil I imined tho time 1 pjiiec at which the prisoner hud L Ids misfortune. The inan£of lron~virtue hesitated worse than liis amiable partner had done, lie wns halting between a point-blank lie, which might entail the penalties of perjury, and the truth, which would cost him money. Cowardice performed the office of conscience, rad Hie truth came out. The tirai’s money which George Gil bert had lost had been won by the senior partner;^and the court in structed the jury that inasmuch as the sum iiiJjquestioii^liadAaeliialiv been delivered to one*of the joint ownors, who was bound to make ac count to Ilia associate, tho prisoner could not be convicted. “God bless von, Mr. Parker,” fal tered the happy little wife; “I knew you would bring us out all right.” Democracy and Independent Inm MUledgevllle Union nud Recorder J But lake the party as it is—judge it by its acts in Congress—in all its conventions throughout the country, in its solemn declarations of princi ples—in its adherence to Stutes rights ami its adherence to the rights dele gated lo the Federal Government in ts unfaltering devotion to the people, their will and their interests—and wc may ring the praises of him, who, in his allegiance to that grand, glorious old party is “faithful found among tho faithless.” These doctrines upplv to all Dcmo- eials in eaeh individual Stale. In Georgia there is hut ouo great party. So in other Southern States. It is true there aic adherents to the Republi can party in them all, but they have no vitality and strength to counter balance the power of the Democrats. Tliis fact is recognized by the Repub licans ill other sections and they speak of us as the “solid South.’’ Let us remain so, and the way to effect it, is to reconcile all dissonant opinions among the Democrats by yielding obedience to party organization and the decisions and wishes of the ma jority. The danger to tliis is indc- pemlentism, and it is two fold: It originates dissentions among the Democrats, often of the bitterest na ture, giving rise to criminations and recriminations, causing the parties to lose sight of liarmonny and brother ly kindness, to resort to every species of intrigue in the passionate' scram ble for office and the spoils. Next it calls into life the hopes and passions of tbe Radicals. In these dissentient struggles one party, or the oilier, or both, are templed to court the favors of their common opponent the Re publicans. Rut this is not ail; it is calculated to revive the hopes of the Republicans and prepare the way for their reorganization, trusting that in the divisions of the Democrats, can didates of their own may ride into power by a plurality ot votes. Mr. Thurman's Opiniou—The Danger uf Republicanism. The Republicans claim that this victory of theirs wipes ont the Dem ocratic party in Ohio, Senator. Do you agree with them ? “Wipes out the Democratic party ? Why, no! The Democratic partv can’t be wiped out! I believe it to be indestructible. It will never die so long ns we liavo a form of free government. You might as well trv to make mo believe that the worlil would be burned up next week as that the Democratic party can he de stroyed while the Government is a Republic,” “To what do you ascribe this tri umph of the Republican party?— Never before did they make so de termined a tight in a 'State contest.” “They made up their mind9 that tlioy must carry Ohio or their party would fall to pieces. The Republi can party is a different political or- f animtlon from the Democratic ouc. t must now and then make a tre mendous straggle to retain existence, and this wa9 one of the occasions. It is now grasping for power, and pow er with it menus a great centralized Government, in which all the States shall be absorbed, so that they shall be nothing more to it tliau (he coun ties are now.” “A Nation, as they call it; not a Union of the States.” “Yes, a great nation controlling everything within its borders from one head. Tliis they seek to obtain by tho aid of every means at their command. The money power, the power of patronage, by" raising false issues to alarm tho tim'id, and overv otlier vice they can invent, is brought to assist them to attain this end. See tiie great corporations springing up every where. They will look at a State charter, but must go lo Con gress to be incorporated. Railroad companies, telegraph companies and banks must all bo chartered by the United States Congress to carry on business. Formerly they wore con tent with State charters, but now they won’t have them. This shows the drift of affairs toward centralization. 1 will not say it is a monarchy they want, but they ocrtainlv desire it to abrogato tho rights of the States and to make it all into ono General Gov ernment. And that is where the Democratic party must make its fight In the future.” UGisty HAS THE Largest and Finest Selection Ever brought to this market, ALL NEW SHADES, GENDEAKNS INCLUDED.
