EON. THOS. S. NOEWOOD. 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.

He may not have the brill iancy of some, for his mind moves not in that channell, but there is a solidity of thought about it, that will ever command respect. He, however, is not destitute of classical acquirements, or an imagina tion, and when necessary, can deal in the polite, the elegant, and the beautiful in thought and expression. As a man, his character is without re proach or stain ; honest, just, truthful and virtuous, valuing his personal honor and character above all pecuniary con siderations. Socially, he is plesaut, agreeable and easy in his manners—noth ing of the egotist or presumptive or self- important mao—a man of merit as well as that of modesty. $ ^ » [communicated.] 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. For the Recorder. 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. For the Recorder. 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. SENATE. Monday, Nov. 13th, 1871. The Senate resumed the considera tion of the resolutions passed by the House on Saturday over Conley’s veto to resciud the joint resolution of IS70, relative to the payment of Executive warrants and repealing the twentieth sec tion of the Appropriation Act. After considerable debate they were referred to the Judiciary Committee.

Several now bills were introduced, amoDg them a hill by Wellborn to in corporate an Agricultural Land Grant Board. Erwin introduced a hill to make slander a criminal offense. HOUSE. The following bills were on the first reading : By Hunter : a hill to tax dogs for educational purposes. Also, a hill to organize the Ocouee Judicial Circut from counties of the Macon, Southern and Middle Circuits. By Bacon : A bill to establish a per manent Board of Education for Bibb county. Also, a hill to amend article second, section seven of the Constitu tion, relatiug to homesteads. By Cody : A bill to provide for the creation of a Board of Tax Assessors for each county. By Davis : A bill to prohibit the hir ing of penitentiary convicts. By Hughes: A bill establishing liens of physicians and school masters upon crops. Also a hill repealing the act pro viding a system of public instruction. By McMillan : A bill to incorporate an Agricultural Land Grant Board.— Also, a bill changing the county site of Clark to Athens The Committee on Privileges and Elections, in the contested election case from Spalding county, reported a re commendation to unseat the incumbent, Daniel A. Jhonson, Radical, and scat David U. Johnson, the contes'ant. Af ter a lengthy debate it was mado the special order for Friday, with a request that the Judiciary Committee consider and report, as to law and evidence con trolling such cases, some irregularity ex isting in the manner of procuring the testimony considered by the committee, as to the illegal votes cast for the incum bent. Bacon moved to grant leave of ab sence duriug the balance of the session, to bis colleague, Ross, iu consequence of a surgical operation which is necessa ry to be performed upon his eyes for cataract. Leave was granted by a vote of fifty-nine to fifty. In consequence of the large minority vote against the leave, Bacon announced that Ross would draw no pay from tLo State for the time he is absent. A heavy cold rain storm has prevailed during the day and night. SENATE. Tuesday, Nov. 14. The bill for the removal of the Court house of Clarke county from Watkins- ville to Athens, was taken up and passed after considerable discussion, Nunnaliy giving notice that he would move a re consideration to-morrow. The bill pass ed by the House to provide for an elec tion to fill the unexpired term of Bul lock, was passed with the following a- mendments: That the inauguration of Governor be the day after the votes are counted by the General Assembly, and changing the time to the Third Tues day in December. The bill was sent to the House for its concurrence in the amendments. The Senate refused to agree to an ad verse report of the Judiciary Committee on the bill to provide for letting the public printing to the lowest bidder, and the bill was referred to a special com a _ r I uo not speak of quantity but quality,, mittee of three, consisting of Nnnnally, and I predict that the Society next year Hillyer and Lester, who are to report a will far surpass the one just past, as it' u:11 * ” has already excited in many a determin ation to compete in a pleasant way with their neighbors and friends. The dasire to excel will be an incentive to many to enter the field, and next year there will be double the display of this. The pleas ant interchange of opinions and ideas among the farmers will be the means of each trying to see what he can do, aud to exhibit the results of his experiments* Iu that consists the beauty and great advantage of all such Societies. Hence I say, that the good people of Washing ton county, has made a step in the right direction, and to insure success they have but to continue as they bare be gun, and success will crown their lauda* ble efforts. I cannot particularize or make com parisons. All did* well, and by what they exhibited, they said to their friends, See what I have done, beat it if you can next year.” The Tournament by the young men of Washington, Hancock and Baldwin, was quite interesting. Mr. D. R. Fluker of Washington, crowned the Queen ; Mr. West of Hancock, first Maid of Honor, and Mr. Johnson of Hancock, 2d Maid of Honor. Nothing occurred to mar the pleasure of the occasion, and ail passed off as pleasantly as could be desired. You will see full particulars of the awards of premiums in the Central Georgian. Yours, R.

Twenty-six of this number were Igaded with stock. bill to-morrow. At 12 o clock the Senate proceeded to an election, of United States Seuator. Hon. Thomas M. Norwood received 27 votes, C. B. Wootten 2 votes, McWhor ter and Candler voting for the latter, while Bruton voted for Norwood. Camp bell presented a protest signed by him self and his associate Radicals, against the election, on the ground of the elec tion of Blodgett by the last session. Tbe protest was spread on the journal. In respect to cutting down the per di em, tbe members seem in no particular hurry. The Finance Committee report ed adversely on the bill to fix tbe com pensation of officers and members res pectively at $320 and $240 per annum. An amendment was offered by Hillyer, that tho pay of members be $6 per day, and the pay-of officers he $12. The amendment, togetii3r with the bill, was tabled. The bill to regulate the practice of dentistry was passed. HOUSE. Under a call of counties, an avalanche of local bills were presented, among which were: A bill to amend the charter of Mil- ledgeville. A hill to orgauize a State Board of Agriculture A bill providing that in all cases where a colored person is charged with crime, or where one of the parties - liti gant is eolored, one half of the jury shall be colored. Bryan offered a resolution requesting the State Treasurer to report the char acter and amount of bonds in his office to tbe educational fund, which was a- dopted. Notwithstanning the professed eager ness of the members of the General As sembly to institute a speedy and thor ough investigation of Bullock’s official misconduct, the House to-day refused to suspend the rules to take up a resolution offered by Mr. Sneed of Richmond, re questing tho Judiciary Committee to consider and report what action was ne- blank 21, McCay 1. Tweedy Wm. Dougerhty 1. Norwood was dared the choice of the House. Hall, ot | Meriwether voted for McCay; O’Neal j voted for Tweedy; Sargent voted for Dougherty ; McWhorter voted for C. J B. Wooten. A majority of the Radicals voted blank under the enforcement rule, requiring all the members to vote, and presented a protest against the elec tion, on the ground that the vacancy had been duly filled in the election of Blod gett, at the last session. The protest was entered on the journal. SENATE. Wednesday, Nov. 15, 1871. Nunnaliy moved to reconsider the bill changing the couuty-site of Clark coun ty to Atben. The motion was lost by a vote of 28 lo 11. The bill to limit lien judgments in the county where rendered was indefinitely postponed. The special committee reported favor ably on the bill to let the public print ing to the lowest bidder. A message was received from the Gov ernor, recommending ac'ion on the con tract of farming convicts. Payment of debts against tbe penitentiary amounts to over $7,000 ; balance to the credit ot the penitentiary now over $9,000. After bills on the second reading, the Senate went to the House to consolidate the vote for United States Senator, HOUSE The Senate amendments to the House bill for the election of Govern or, changing the time to the third Tues day in December, aud to inaugurate upon tbe day after, was concurred in. Among the bilis ou tbe first reading, the Senate resolution extending the time tor the collection of taxes sixty days, was taken up. The Finance Com mittee reported adversely by a minority and favorably by a majority. Lost, by 141 to 9. Simmons, of Gwinuett, offered as a substitute to the minority repoit a bill allowing collectors till 24th December to collect and till January 25th to settle with tho Comptroller, (.uinming offer ed an amendment requiring the imme diate payment of the taxes for 1865, 1869 and 1870, which was accepted. The substitute was adopted, and the resolution as amended by the substitute was concurred in. The Senate came to the House and consolidated the vote for United States Senator. Norwood received 154; blank 22 ; scattering 6. bus and Atlanta Air-line Railroad, have resigned ; also, that MrK. has resigned the offico of President of tbe Company. Upon the re-organization, Hon. James M. Smith, Speaker of the House of Rep resentatives, becomes one of tbe Board. The Sun also reports that the Kimball House is soon to be sold under a build er’s lien of $100,000. It is stated that Henry Clews Sc Co. will take hold of the Brunswick aud Ai bany Railroad and complete the same without delay ; that this step is a neces sity—no other way being left for Clews Sc Co. to make themselves whole, ou ac count of advances made to Mr. Kimball. Also, that the Cartersville and Van Wert Railroad^will he completed fay Clews & Co. for similar reasons. No one hears anything of Mr. II. I. Kimball’s whereabouts now-a-days. It would have been better for him if he had remained here and faced tbe music* It is believed that Governor Bullock has left the United States, and that he will not return to Georgia as long as he is at liberty to go iu another direction. — Atlanta Sun. A Constitutional Robbery was com mitted within two miles of Knoxville, East Tenuessee, on Friday night, upou the person of one Williams, a pedlar, who was thoroughly cleaned out by two highwaymen—the one black aud the other while. That was according to the 15th amendment. U NDER AN ORDER Ordinary of Baldwin SENATE. Thursday, Nov. 16, 1871. Nichols’ resolution instructing the Joint Committee to inquire into the cost of the public printing and report what change is necessary to be made in arti cle 1038 of the code, was adopted. The House resolution extending the time for the collection of taxes to the 2Sth of December was indefinitely post poned. The House resolution to elect a public printer at 12 M.,was tabled by a vote of 24 to 14. The following bills were on the first reading: By Mr. Brock: A bill to suppress lawlessness.

The bill to abolish the City Court of Macon was passed. HOUSE. Mr. McMillan offered a resolution to elect a public printer at 12 m. The res olution was adopted and sent to the Senate.

By Mr. Pon : A bill to amend Article 2448 of the Code, so as to increase the wife’s interest in the husband’s estate. Mr. Anderson offered a resolution re. quest iag the Finance Commilteo to re- Th© Park Murder in Indiana. As the telegram informs us, this mur der has been traced to three negroes, a 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 egraph. From the Atlanta Sun.] 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, New Advertisements* W ATCtl FKEE to Agents to introduce articles that sell in every house T r & Co.
