STOCK LAW—FENCE L\W.
Messrs. Editors : Your article of this
week, from the “Southern Times ,$• Plan
ter," of Hancock county, on “Stock law,"
is admirable in many respects. But on
one point there is a better way; better
for one special reason, besides others,
viz : it is a gentle compromise with pop
ular habits at.d prejudices, and is at once
so excellent and so cheap, compared
with present, fence?, either lawful or un
lawful, as to insure great public satislacr
»nn. piir.ciple is that of Kcn'ucky, a
stock State, and of all old States; and
is just this :
1. Make owners keep hogs at home, on
their own land in close fences; and,
2. Feuce big stock, mules, cows, Sec ,
either in or out, as owners choose, by a
post and three or four radfence.
1 use a post and three rail feuce around
my inside pastures; “bull strong and
mute high,” and never had my stock so
sale. Posts split out like rails, with
broad faces, five inches wide and two
In our judgment, says tho Telegraph,
in the
ground, dug by “Leeds' Digger” in two
minutes or less.
This fence takes but 100 rails to 100
and we fully eudorsc the sentiment, the : yards—1700 rails to a mile line—<,040
Convention has done an emphatically j rails to a square mile of G4G acres. If
good day’s work in this nomination. Mr. j rails cost but one dollar per hundred,
Smith is eminently honest, capable, and j then you can fence GlO acres with sev-
faithful, and will redeem Georgia as far I enty dollars and forty cents for rails ;
as in his power lies, by a wise and 1 the posts, a trifle, to bo added,
wholesome administration. He will see
that no hurt comes to die honor or wel
fare of the Commonwealth, and nobly il-
lastrate both by the practice of all those
virtues that in the olden days we were
wmttosee in the men who filled the
Executive chair. These things we con-
fiientiy predict of and for him.
Now, let the Democrats of Georgia
put him in by a vote that shall show
how enthusiastically they approve the
wisdom of the Convention’s choice, and
wm. McKinley.
The Augusta Constitutionalist, of Fri
day, says : The Mayor, with the approve
al of the Finance Committee, sold on
Wednesday the 5.000 shares of stock
owned by the city in the Macon & Au-
gusta Railroad, to the South Carolina
Railroad Company, at 40 cents on the
dollar. The amount realized by the
sale, then, is $200,000, for which the city
is to take the notes of the South Garoli-
na Railroad Company, in such amounts,
with 7 per cent, interest from date, and
, . , . . . ! payoblo at such times as will be deemed
their high appreciation of the character ^ the Mayor and FiuanCe Cowmit-
of the leader they have chosen.
Changes in the Cabinet.—The New
York Sun reports that Morton is shortly
to succeed Fish, as Secretary of State.
Judge Pierrepont will tako the place of
the chivalric Akermau, who, we trust,
will be sent on a special mission to the
Fiji Islands.
Will Not Run a Candidate.
We copy the following from the At-,
lanta Sun. of yesterday :
“After cuucussing lor three days and
two nights the Republicans have come
to the conclusion not to have auy candi-
didate for Governor, and to let the elec
tion go by default. As we staled in
our issue of Thursday morning, the Lad
ing members of the party v/ere divided
in their couusels on Wednesday—some
siding with Couley, and determining not
to recognize the election—others believ
ing a nomination should be made aud
the election vigorously tested. Wheth
er they have all finally sided with Con
ley or nor, ws do not know. What took
place in their counsels we do not know
—they are not communicative. We are
onl) authorized to say that will place
no candidate in the field.
At one time it was believed Col. James
Atkin- would be brought out by them,
aud at one time he really was nominated ;
but this nomination was reconsideieb
- a subsequent consultation and the
ruination withdrawn.*'
We hoped they would make tho race
We wanted one more chauce at them in
order to bury the stiukiDg carcass ol
Radicalism so deep that not even Graul’s
biyouets could resurrect it.
But whether they take part in the e«
Ia uou or not let the Democrats of Geot-
gia turn out m their might, and put
their man iu by the biggest vote polled
since the war. It is charged by the
Radicals that the people don’t waut an
election. Let the people reply in tones
that will convince even the most skep
tical among these croakers. Let them
lay aride all other busiues9 ou next
Tuesday week, the 19 day of this month
of December, aud go to the polls iu a
body. Our candidate deserves, and the
crisis demands an unmistakable expres
sion of the popular will. Don’t stay
away because the beaten, frazzled-out
cohorts ol Radicalism will not be there
to oppose you. If you fail to vote, they
will point to the result and claim that
they were right, and that you did not
want an election. It Grant interferes to
keep Conley in office, on« of the grounds
will be—if you stay away from the
polls—that you did not desire a change,
and a light vote wiil be taken as evi
dence that such was the case. Demo
crats of Georgia—rally to the old flag
aud its bearer just as though the enemy
confronted you in heavy force. That’s
your duty, as well as your safety.— Tel
egraph.
A Florida letter says : “The hand of
disease has pressed heavily upon all por
tions of Florida during the fall months.
Bilious fevers and congestive chills have
prevailed to an unusual extent, and at
Gainesville, Alachua county, and at oth-
tee, to meet the outlay required for en
larging the canal.
A Singular Case.—Mr. Eli Hemp-
sted, formerly of New Haven, but re
cently of Chenango Forks, N. Y„ died
at his father’s residence, in New' Haven,
on the 20ih instant, from a most singu
lar cause. Some years ago he was at
tacked with insanity, and was sent to
the Iusaue retreat at Hartford. While
there he pushed a watch key up bis nose,
and after his recovery he told bi3 physi
cian what he had done. An effort was
made to get it out, without success.—
He left the Retreat, and nothing further
was done to remove the article, though
he occasionally spoke of feeling it. In
a year or two he was attacked with a
sharp pain in the lower part of the right
lung. He suffered from it for some time,
when it passed away, and for two years
he enjoyed good health.
A lew weeks ago he came to New Ha
ven with an invoice of produce, and
while engaged in lifting barrels was
again attacked with pain and bleeding
trom the lungs. He was taken to his
father’s house, where iu a few days he
died. His case was so singular that his
physicians made a post mortem examina
tion, when they found the key imbedded
in the lower part ol the lung, aud sur
rounded by a lump in a state of mortifi
cation. The key had dropped out of
the nose through the windpipe into the
lung, and had remained there over two
j cars.—Notwich (Conn ) Advertiser.
The Little Hyena Tn Bad Odor.—
The Herald’s special Washington cor
respondent, under date of Monday,
writes as follows :
The rumors that have recently been
circulating as to a personal disagreement
in the Cabinet, have finally settled upon
Attorney General Akerman as the offen
sive Minister, It is charged that the
present lie id of the J udicial Department
is quite self-opinionated, tenacious of
his own views, ami rather disagreeable
in considering those of others. Such
traits have mado him so uncomfortable
a colleague that his room is considered
more preferable than his company. The
special impu.se to this expected change
is, however, declared to be a distinct
difference of opinion on the Ku-Klux
policy, Mr Akermau designing that it
shall be made more offensive than at
prescut, an opinion with which the Pres
ident does not seem to agree. Who
Mr. Akeruian’s successor is to be is not
known, aud the change will not be made
till after the first report of the Depart
ment of Justice is sent to Congress.
Trial of Rev. J. Pierce.—The pub - j
lie probably beats in inind the gross j
scandal that some months ago was cir
culated through the papers, with which
the names of Rev. J. L. and a lady f:om
Cartersville were unenviably connected.
The scandal was eo great, and bore so
heavily upon not only the ministerial
but the moral character of Mr. Pierce,
that it became necessary for the Confer
ence, to which he belonge to give the
matter a most inquisitorial examination.
When Conference met in Athens last
week one of tbe first acts of the body
was to raise a committee for the investi
gation of the matter. The committee
was composed of the following ministers :
Arminius Wright, chairman ; H. H.
Parks. L. J. Davies. F A. Kimball, A
G. Haygood, A. M. Thigpen, G. Y.
Smith, J. H Grogan, J. M. Dickey, M.
Calloway, D. J Mvrick, J. Lewis, Jr.,
P. A. Heard, W. P. Fort.
Before this tribunal the Rev. J. L.
Pierce was brought for an examination
of the charges against him. llis trial
occupied five entire days—three sittings
of the committee being held each day.
The testimony was taken in writing, and
covered 300 pages of cap paper. Eve
ery witness was subjected to tho most
thorough and rigid examination. Wit
nesses pro and con were examined With
like rigor. There was no partiality—
no discrimination—no favors shown, but
an obvious determination to ariive at
the exact truth in the case.
What points were divulged by the
testimony it is not. necessary to state
It is sufficient for the public to know
that after a most patient and exhaustive
hearing, the judgment of the committee
was that Mr. Pierce was not guilty of
the charges that had been made against
him. The husband of the lady involved,
who was present during t'nc examination,
at its close said Mr. Pierce had had a
fair aud impartial trial.
The Sumpter Republican has infor
mation that acting Gov. Couley has
pardoned G. F. Page, the Radical legis
lator convicted of voluntary manslaught
er, before his application for a new trial
has been decided. This is following in
the footsteps of Bullock with nearly
equal paces, and is directly at variance
with Conley’s promise iu his message.—
Columbus Enquirer.
During the late conflagration in Chi
cago two fire engines were sent from
Bloomington, Illinois. In two hours and
forty minutes from the time they started
in a special train, over tho Chicago, Alton
and St. Louis Railroad, they were throw
ing water ou tbe fire. The train made
the run, one hundred and twenty-six
miles, in two hours'and ten minutes, and
the run from Bloomington to Joilet,
eighty-nine miles, was made in eighty
uinutes.
Senator Norwood’s Chances.—The
Washington Republican, (Grant’s Or-
gau) of Tuesday, says :
Th» credentials of Thomas M. Nor
wood, claiming a seat in the Senate,
were presented in the Senate yesterday
by Senator Thurman, and laid ou the
table. There is m3 prospect of his be
ing admitted, as it is generally under
stood that the vacant seat in the Senate
from Georgia will be given to the Hon
Foster Blodgett, who has, by the great
revolutionary action of the Georgia Leg
islature, gained strength in the Senate,
and will undoubtedly, be admitted.
This same Republican six weeks ago,
said that Blodgett’s proper place was in
the Peuitentiary aud not iu the Uuited
States Senate. Who will deny the
right of the Senate to fix its own level
and choose its own compauy.—Macon

NEW m RTISEMENTS-
Central Railroad Currency.—The
Central Railroad and Banking Company
has recently issued bills-of various de
nominations, w’hich are received by the
road for passenger fares. The circula
tion of these bills will prove very benefi
cial just now. The total amount of bills
issued, we learn, is 840,000. We sug
gest that the road issue a like amount
good for freight over their line. They
would be very convenient in tnese times.
Tbe nofes are very neatly gotten up,
aud resemble iu niauy respects, the old
issue of bills by the Central Railroad
Bank.—Savannah News.
Poor System of Economy.—When
many people find retrenchment neces
sary they commence by refusing to pay
the preacher and their next step is to
stop tbeir paper. This is economy false
ly so-called. To live long and prosper
et points, many have been swept away people must support tho preacher and
by yellow fever. Even now, near Cedar j sustain their local papers.
At an Indiana breakfast table a few
days ago, a traveler from the East hand
ed to one of his fellow-travelers a plate
of sausages, whereupon the question was
asked, “Is it sale 1” To which it wa3 re
plied, “This is a prolific hog country,
and it is safe to eat sausages wherever
hog is cheaper than dog."
SENATE.
Thursday, December, 7.1871.
In tho Senate, on Thursday last,
Mr. Browu moved to reconsider the pas
sage of the bill to amend section 4420 of
the'Code, so as to make the purchase of
stolen produce a misdemeanor, aud the
purchase of product* between sunset and
sunrise, primes facie evidence of tbe same.
Mr Matthews forcibly opposed the
motion, and alluded to various instances
where the want of such provision bad
worked serious injury. He was "surpris
ed to learn that any district in North
Georgia did not need such a la'T; but
Southwest Georgia undoubtedly does,
for he believed that section loses more
annually the want of such a law than
the annual production of North Georgia.
Mr. Burns move to lay the motion to
reconsider on the table. Carried.
Tbe bill to repeal the act organizing
the District Court, which was vetoed by
the Governor ad intuitu, and the veto
message returned with the same, were
taken up.
The message placed the veto upon the
economy, speed and other advantages of
the District Court, a9 now constituted.
The vote on the hill stood, ayes 33,
nays 8 ; so the bill was passed.
A bill to repeal an act to deolare the
poll tax for the years 1S68, ’69 and ’70
uncollected, unconstitutional, and to pre
vent the collection cf the same—vetoed
by the Executive, and tho veto message
accompanying the same was taken up.
Senator Campbell spoke at length a-
gainst the bill.
On the passage of the bill the rote
stood—ayes 27, na}8 13; so the bill
passed.
Mr. Nichols offered a resolution pro
viding for the appointment of a joint
committee of five trom the General As
sembly to visit the penitentiary and the
several places where the convicts are
employed, and report upon the manner
of their treatment and all other matters
connected therewith. Also, to report
upou what interest, if any, Rufus B Bul
lock has in the contract under which the
convicts were farmed out. Also, to au
dit all claims against the penitentiary.
Also, to ioquire what disposition was
made of the appropriation of $150,000
to the penitentiary Made in March, ’69,
and called the previous questiou on it*
adoption.
The resolution was adopted by ayes
25, nays 15.
House—Mr. Pierce moved to suspend
the rules to take up a Senate resolution
directing the Attorney General to dis
miss certain suits against the Treasurer,
and declaring that the Treasurer shall
not be held liable for interest on depos
its in the Treasury.
Mr Pierce said that this was due to
the faithfulness of the Treasurer who
hail done so much toward guarding the
public funds.
Tho motion to suspend prevailed and
the resolution was unanimously adop
ted.
On motion, the House went into a
Committee of the Whole on the Appro
priation bill when Mr. W. D. Anderson
moved to tako up tlie Governor’s veto
of the trill to reduce the per diem of of
ficers and members of the General As
sembly,
The message was read. The reasons
assigned for tbe veto aie that the bill is
retioactive and unconstitutional, and
that the reduction of only $2, leaving
the mileage as it was before, was not a
sufficient reduction to meet the demanda
of the people.
Mr. W. D. Anderson moved to pass
the bill over the veto.
Mr. Edwards called the previous
question, which was sustained.
The yeas and nays were called with
the following result: Yeas 118 ; nays 31.

requires all outstanding bonds of the j bj Hon. Clifford Anderson. Hon. L
State to be returned lor registration
and a neglect to do so to be construed
into evidence that tbe bonds are not le
gal. The object of this act is to di-cov
er bow maDy, il any, illegal bonds have
been put upon tbe uiaiket, and to ascer
tain precisely the amount of the bon led
indebtedness of tho Stale.
We hear some complaint that tbe act
is a dangerous one, aud is likely to dam
age tbe State’s credit. We aie satisfied
however, that the motives of those who
voted Dr the bill were honest, and that
the only object is to protect Georgia
from fraudulent bonds, which are believ
ed to have been issued. We do not
think there is a mau in either house who
would vote fo defraud a single creditor
of the State out of one dime. It is nec
essary to do something to ascertain what
the State really owes, and the Assembly
had done what it deemed wisest and
best. The act, if not misunderstood, wiil
accomplish tho end sought.—Atlanta

The prospect is that next year field
labor will be cheap in tho neighborhood
of Columbus. Tbe majority cf farmers
have do money, little corn, and less cot
ton. Few will be able to run the plows
or employ the force of tbe past spring.
Cotton picking is finished. Laborers are
looking for new homes. Tbe supply is
greater tliau the demand, and hence wa
ges must be cut dowu.— Columbus S«».
Aareporter at Salt Lake has inter
viewed George Q. Cannon, Brigham

that tbe Mormons would submit to a de
cree of Congress giving them statehood
on condition that while past polygamy
and its fruits should be recognized tbe
institution is piohibited in future.
