The above named gentleman, as is
well known to our readers, is the United
States Senator elect from this State.—
We have no regret in the matter of bis
election, for it is our opiuion, knowing
the gentleman as we do, that be is the
equal in point of mental ability, to those
put in nomination for the same position-
Senator Norwood belongs to that
class of meD, who have solid, substau-
District Judges. Wise and impartial
legislation would surely make it ttie du
ty of these men to hold their Couits for
the convenience of the-citizen—nearer h is
home—and not drag client, witnesses,
jurors and lawyers hundreds of miles for
a hearing, to the footstool of a modern
pra>tor. Such, however, is the Uuited
States judicial organism, aud such are
some of its evils. Even in the faint
dawn of the legal history of England
we can see the germ of a better. So
caily as the reign of Henry II. nisi
print commissioners were sent through
out the realm to try by a jury of the
respective counties the truth of 6uch
matters of fact as were in dispute at
Westminster Hail. Under the present
regime of centralization, this imperfect
judicial organism of ours, aud its im
provement, becomes a subject deserving
thought and discussion -from our purest
and wisest men.
But I must respectfully demur to that
part of the proceedings of the Richmond
Bar relative to the location of the new
District Court in Augusta. The citizens
of Richmond suffer no peculiar hard
ship in having to attend Court in Savan
nah. To cut off the small district pro
posed, would advance the interests of a
few easteru counties, but for the State at
Prom the Macon Telegraph.

The Best Man for Governor,
Every lover of our State desires the
Democratic party to make a wise choice
in nominating a Governor to fill the un
expired term of Rufus B. Bullock. All
considerations based on other grounds
than that of merit should be thrown a-
side. Hiram Warner has been pro
posed as the man for the place. None
more suitable could have been suggested.
Any reference to bis exalted character,
in both public and private life, would he
superfluous. His mental constitution
6tamps him as one of the giants of Geor
gia. His usefulness on the Bench does
not lie in the way, since he would have
the nomination of his own successor, and
any choice made by him of Judges would
be sure to be wise.
It is not known that Judge Warner
wiahea the position, but he would feel
it hia duty to accept the nomination if
tendered him, at the hands of the Dem
ocratic Party. GEORGIA.

A New Middle District for Georgia for
United States Court—One thiidof the
State—20,000 square miles.
Messrs. Editors : At a meeting of
the Bar of Richmond county, held in
Augusta on Friday, November 10th, res
olutions were unanimously passed re
questing Congress to establish a United
States District Court with circuit powers
in that city for the 5th Congressional
district aud eight or ten adjoining couu
ties;
This is a movement in the right direc
tion. At present the vast territory of
Georgia is divided into two districts, and
the Court is held alternately in Atlanta
and Savannah. To the citizens of Cen
tral, Western and South-western Geor
gia, this is not only a denial, but a mock-
try of justice. Is a Court for the ad
ministration of justice bolding its ses
sions, two hundred miles from us here
in the centre of the State, two hundred
and fifty miles from suitors in Decatur
and neighboring counties, and more than
three hundred miles by rail from the
counties upon the Chattahoochee, aught
else than a pretence ? especially when it
is considered that the door is barred by
eosts almost prohibitory of suits. In a
republican government wisely adminis
tered, one naturally expects to find
cheap, simple and effective tribunals,
not such as rival iu expense aud delay
the old, cumbrous Chancery system of
England.
There is another consideration which
should influence the action of Congress
in this matter. In 1867 the Bankrupt
Act was passed. This will of necessity
bring each citizen in closer contact with
jbe General Government through the
deration bhould have much weight with
Congress. Why not make a new Mid--
die District, extending Eastward from
Augusta to Columbus, beginning and
ending in such degree of latitude, North
and South, as Congress may fix. It
would be ground of just complaint, that
there were two U. S. District Courts on
the Savannah and not oue, really acces
sible to Western Georgia. Let Congress
create this Middle District, and let the
Court hold its sittings at some central
point in it—say Milledgeville. The
lawyers ot Macon, Columbus and all
Western Georgia should take prompt ac
tion, and secure for their section a better
arrangement than the present or the
proposed Augusta District. The citi
zens are greatly and virtually interested
and the press should enlist themselves
in this behalf. B.

Sandersvili.e, Ga , Nov. 11, ’71.
Messrs. Editors—For the last three
; days I have been in attendance upon the
Washington County Agricultural Socie
ty—T. J. Smith, President, and H. N.
Hollifield, Secretary. To say that the
first annual exhibition was very good,
does not express my opiuion fully enough ;
I consider it a complete success—a ten
strike, so to speak—and the getters up
of it have every reason to feel gratified
and proud of their efforts. It is an omen
of better times for old Washington, anti
has laid the foundation whereupon the
Society will grow and flourish year by
year, so loDg as it has an existence.
The display in every department was
creditable, especially so, in the ladies
department. The field crops were re
ally fine, and the vegetables could equal
if not surpass those displayed at Macon,
The display of horses was very good.
The hogs were worth seeing, and the
cattle also did credit to those who en
tered them. Chickens, geese, ducks*
and turkeys were also on exhibition.

Th© Park Murder in Indiana.
As the telegram informs us, this mur

confession from one of whom was extort
ed by means of a halter around his neck
and threats of immediate hanging. This
murder was one of the most shocking
which has ever occurred among a civil
ized people. It took place during last
Saturday night, aud nothing was known
of it till next morning, when Mr. Park
«as nrissod from the Sunday-school, of
which he was superintendent, and one of
the pupils went to the house to ascertain
what was the matter. He found one of
Mr. Park's daughters sitting in the door,
and the other iu a chair, with their heads
frightfully mangled, and crazy or insen
sible. The parents were found on their
bed, literally gashed and mangled to
pieces. The diabolical nature of the
murder and the estimable character of
its victims put the whole county in a
flame of indignation, which displayed
itseif in the summary proceedings an
nounced by telegram.
The extraordinary proportion of hor
rid crimes committed by the compara
tively few negroes who live in the North
ern States, is ouo of the facts which
ought to arrest tbe attention of tbe
Northern people. If one-twentieth or
one-fortieth part of the population (ne
groes) commit half or more than half the
rapes and murders in that section, and
the whites, as they have done in numer
ous instances in the North and West,
resort to unlawful remedies to repress
the depravity and violence of this small
negro minority, what should they ex
pect to be the case in the Southern States
where negroes are in the majority ?
And how can they defend Grant in put
ting the Southern people under bayonet
law for kindred violences?—Macon Tel

ACCOUNT OF HENRY CLEWS & CO
The account which this firm, who are
the agents and confederates of Kimball,
Bullock, Blodgett Sc Co., have presented
against the State of Georgia, is a fearful
one, a hare inspection of which is
enough to make an honest man sick at
heart.
W r e have not tbe time or space to de
vote to comments, but must content our
selves, this morning, with presenting a
few facts.
His claim against the State amounts to
over $1,000,000. Among tbe items are
numerous drafts drawn by Bullock £>r
large sums of money, the proceeds of
some of which have come into the State
Treasury, but others are unaccounted for.
There are large numbers of charge^ for
commissions, interest, advertising, tele
graphing, express charges, etc., whose
amounts swell up enormously, and cause
astouisbment at the impudence of iba
man who can find the hardihood to pre*.
sent them.
The debit items in this huge account
fill ten or twelve closely written pages,
while there are only two items ou the
credit side of the account—both fov the
proceeds of the sale of State bonds. - On
tbe 15!h of February last, credit'is giv
en for the sale of 500 gold bonds of
$1000 each at S7£, equal to S437,500 ;
and on the 8th ot September of 1150
bonds of $1000 each at S6£, equal to
$994,750 ; in all $1,432,250 lor the sale
ot $1,650,00 of bonds.
The charge for commission alone is
$93,749 45, and for advertising $14,
320. These commissions and adverti
sing charges are all for his efforts to sell
bonds which have been issued by Gov.
Bullock. Tbe firm have a separate ac
count for transactions connected with
the old bonds of the State, redeeming
such as were due, paying interest, ex
penses, etc., amounting in all-to over
$300,000 ; aud his transactions in con
nection with new bonds to over $700,
000.
There are numerous items of Ex
press charges—indicating that Clews &
Co. paid the Express Company for de
livering to them State bonds sent for re
demption, which, if true, is a fraud upon
tbe people of Georgia.
There is something suspicious on the
face of this statement of bonds sold. A
gentleman of this city tried to sell some
of Bullock’s gold bonds in New York,
last spring, and could not get an offer of
more thau fifty cents on the dollar. Fi
nally, Mr. Clews gave him eighty-five,
rather than allow them to be thrust up
on the market for just what they would
bring. We doubt if Clews Sc Co. have
made a bona Jide sale of a single bond ;
for it is believed that the Bullock bonds
have next to no negotiable value in New
Nork. It is particularly believed that
uo one could be found on the 8th of
September last who would have given
86J for the new bonds which Bullock
aud Company have been trying so hard
to sell,
