We regret the doty devolving upon
aa m public journalists of condemu-
ing the late decision of Judge Er-
iMn*. Thia we do hi the Interest of
»' right and an intelligent administra
tion of justice; and while we doao,
v SIsAanJcly state that we have had oc-
i«» oeaten in the past to hold Jndge Er-

Directly after the late war, there
was much excitement about the
oounae that would be adopted by tbe
different Federal officers towards tbe
Southern people. There was no
small concern felt about the confle-
^ cation of property, especially of those
" who had been active in the “Lost
Oanse.” There was no ohance to
mason shoot legal and Constitutional
rights; excitement was intense and
right was measured alone by power,
and oonoeteion was measured only by
the extent of demand.
In Virginia and other States the
‘Federal Judiciary placed its hands
upon property; Georgia alone seemed
exempt, and we recall with gratitude
Jndge Ertkine’s firmness, whioh we
hop* our people will never forget it.
It waa a piotnre worthy of the artist,
and Ertkine’s name rang thronghont
the South as trae m steel All gave
him credit for his integrity, and he
deserved it Trae, his position was
only negative; still it must have
basn backed by firmness.
These facts are recalled in order to
do jastioe to a man whose recent
oqurtf in rendering an obnoxious de-
olsion, whioh is so justly condemned
by all who would preserve the rights
of the States and the purity of the
jury<box. A contemporary has al
ready expressed the belief that if left
, tp his own impulses, Judge Erskine
, j might not have tendered the decision
he did. When the facte of his past
oonrse are remembered and compared
yrith his present position, it does
seem that some sort of oompulaory
' influences have been brought to bear
upon him. It is to be regretted that
ho does not now have the firmness
that oharaoteriied his actions in the

Referring to a paragraph of the
New York Tribuno to the effect that
a small, popular work on the duties
of juror*, whioh might be studied by
every oltisen, would be of considera
ble usefulness, especially in Vermont,
when the court recently set aside a
verdict whioh had been secured by
the jurors “drawing outs,” the Savan
nah News says:
Buoh a work might be useful to
jnMN who are oapable of reading and
understanding it But of what
earthly service would it be to Judge
Ertkine’s jurors, who are selected to
determine important questions of law
and evidenoe in the United States
District Courts, not because they are
upright and intelligent citizens, but
because they are negroes who are for
tiie most part innocent of a knowl
edge of the alphabet P
The Savannah Advertiser says it is
charged that this decision is weak,
wraog in prinoiple and made for par
tisan purposes, and that it has no de
rim to gainsay the charge, even it it
had law, foots and arguments where
with to makogood our assertion; but
it strike* the editor that our brethren
of the quill might fly for higher
game. Judge Erskine really holds a
very subordinate position. He might
hold this and fill it with great cour
age, boldness and ability, but if he
did he wonld hold and fill it but a
very short time. In making his de-
eiaion he bnt conformed to a decision
of his superior, Jndge Woods, of the
Circuit bench. The Advertiser oomes
to this conclusion in tie matter:
Heretofore by reason of the fact
that we have been blessed with juries,
both grand and petit, composed of
upright and intelligent citizens,
Georgia has been spared the outra
geous and disgraceful scenes that
have transpired in the two Garolinas
’» the administration of Bond,
in Alabama under Busteed.
has been unable to get a
grand jury to find bills against gen-
tinmen upon suborned testimony,
and has Veen forced to carry hu
prosecutions to Oongressional Com
mittees. Perhaps his finger is in this
little pies as it has been in all the
dirty job* and-fat places since recon
struction began. Perhaps now, with
the inUUiganoa and uprightness of
Sambo ana Caffe* crowded into jury
boxes, he will have no difficulty in
having hie indictments returned, or
in convicting whomsoever it may
pi earn him or his minions to tramp
np a charge against. *
RE-ACTION or PUBLIC SENtlRENT.
Tbe late war had the effect of demor
alising public senlimeat to so greet
an extent that it attained each a mo
mentum aa to pervade every walk of
life—from the highest official to the
most humble private citizen. Pecu
lations of all sorts have become to be
so general that it is regarded as sim
ple shrewdness to defraud and swin
dle the Federal and State Government
whenever the opportunity offers. Not
only so. A state of recklessness aa to
the crime of mnrder has pervaded
all classes, the demoralization of the
public sentiment being so great as to
almost preclude the possibility of
punishment. Excuses are made and
petitions circulated to arrest the pro
gress of law whenever conviction is
obtained.
Bnt we are glad to observe that
such trasactions as the Credit Mobi-
lier swindle, the bribing system of
procuring office and tbe tendency to
screen murderers and other criminals
from justice, are having the effect of
arousing the people to the dangers
threatening public safety—of life,
liberty and property. The Credit
Mobilier stock gamblers have been
denounced to the extent of disgracing
those engaged in it; bribery in elec
tions has been held up to public con
demnation to the extent of forcing,
through public opinion, the resigna
tion of a United States Senator for
securing his office unlawfully; public
opinion is bringing to the gallows
murderers in all parts of the country,
and the re-action of public sentiment
in regard to crimes of all sorts is
manifest everywhere.
These indications are omens of
good to the whole country. The lib
erties of the people can only be pre
served through the enforcement of
law, and the observance of order in
the administration of justice, by
those who are called to execute it,
and the maintenance of jjghtful au
thority by the people themselves.
These can only restore a healthy pub
lic sentiment, and in the end perpet
uate publio liberty and the rights of
all
It is to be hoped that this re-action
will be complete, and that our com
mon country be restored to the peace
and security whioh it enjoyed in time
ante-bellum.
JOT The Harrisburg (Pa.) Jour-
Ml ran that “Senator Sumner re
peats having introduced a resolution
into the Senate, daring the last Con
frere, proposing to erase from the
national figs, the names of victorias
won against traitor*.” It is perfectly
natural for the average Radical to
tepent of his good deeds; the evil
ones; he hags to his bosom with tn-
ariaiT or the oeoboia press.
The Augusta Constitutionalist re
gards tbe letter whioh Gov. Dix, of
New York, recently addressed to the
Rev. Stephen H. Tyng, D.D., setting
forth the reasons why he declined to
oommute the sentence of death in the
case ol Foster, the car hook mur
derer, as an abie and ooncise review
of the circumstances of the case, and
presents his reasons, with the rulings
and judgments of tne conrts, in such
a broud aud comprehensive manner,
that their application is not confined
to the Foster case. Says the same
paper:
Tho firm refusal of Gov. Dix to
place himsolf above the law aud set
aside tho judgment of tho highest
judicial tribunals of the State, there
by removing the barriers which the
law has set up for the protection of
society against criminals is worthy
of the highest commendation. It
argues a determination on his part
to enforce the penalties which the
law has provided for tho punishment
of murder, and that he is guided in
his decisions by a regard tor the pub
lio safety and not by- any tender
hearted sentimentality. * * * The
action of Gov. Dix is, therefore, a no
tification to every murderer in that
State, who has been convicted, and
where no errors exiBt in his case, that
ho must expect to pay the penalty of
the law be has violated. It is also
an energetic protest againBt that sen
timental class in every community
whose sympathies are always aroused
for niunlcrers, especially if their fam
ily antecedents happen to have been
respectable, as iu the case of Foster.
The Chronicle and Sentinel says
the resignation of Senator Caldwell
seems to have taken the country by
surprise. Since the beginning of
the last session of tbe Forty-second
Congress his case has been undergo-
iag investigation, but the resigna
tion of the acoused, peudiug a de
cision, was the last thing thought of.
Says that paper:
Caldwell, seeing expulsion certain,
has made an ignominious retreat, has
resigned when a resignation is equiv
alent to a confession ot guilt. What
advantage ho is to derive from such a
course we cannot imagine; but he at
least puts an end to a tedious discus
sion, saves nia political allies the per
formance of a disagreeable duty, and
gives the Legislature of tbe Admin
istration rotten borough, Kansas,
another harvest of greenbacks, in the
shape of a Senatorial election.
The Griffin News, having expressed
the opinion that the Federal Treas
ury was a subject ot piracy to be
plundered by every lot of froe-boot
era, and as it was likely to be stolen
out, we wanted our share down
South, and that while the general
stealing is going on, and if it is to
continue aa at present—without limit
and subject to no law, we want every
dollar of it to get down this way that
possibly can. The Colnmbus Sen
expresses opposition to the ethics of
the News, and says:
We cannot admit that the Treas
ury is a subject of piracy except to
be condemned by the press in the
strongest language and its plunderers
marked and branded in each individ- "M J*| f* A A A fill 1ft
uai forehead with public shame and | tL£Ul gjp%| || |U|
disgrace. We cannot recognize eithir
the logic or morals that a theft by
A is a justification of tbe same crime
by B. We do not furtheragree with
,n< "
the News that while “the general
stealing is going on” that Southern
Congressmen should
grub all they
can. We wish the Southern mem
bers to exhibit a different and better
example than the robber law and
piety so well described by Words

A PARTNER WANTED.
Mr. H. W. Scudder, proprietor of
the Savannah Republican, finding
the incessant labor of conducting a
Daily and Weekly Newspaper too
heavy a tax upon his health, desires to
form a partnership with some intelli
gent and competent person for the
purpose of extending the business of
that paper and relieving him of a
portion of the labor.
The Republican is the oldest pa
per, we believe, in the State, and has
always maintained a high position
among the journals of the country.
This is, doubtless, a good opportunity
for a good man to make a safe invest
ment in the newspaper business.

Two cases ot this kind came np on the
criminal docket, and he ordered a nolle

Jubnsoo'e reasons for his decition were
these: This law abridges the rights of

be no involuntary Bermuda exacted

who promised, where it wts evident that
ourruption had been uied to secure nom
inations for Federal offices in Georgia,
either by ose of money or by forgeries,
that such nominations .wonld be .with
drawn.
The indications are." that,the Georgia
Ring will be beaten, but the anxiety of
the Senate to adjourn precludes the
proosbility of s change in tbe Colleotor
ot Customs st Savannah, and it is likely
that other Federal incumbents will re
main in offioe ,by default of Senatorial

chusetts, with a colony of about oue hun
dred persons, men and women, over a
year ago; bought land, settled in Oolnm
bis oonnty, lived in tents and held prop
erty in common. Carry called himself
" Elijah and Prophet Yaheva, snpreme
in tilings spiritual and temporal.” Tbe
oolouy went along swimmingly fora very
brief time; bnt tbe prophet took to him
self too many wives. Jealousy and in-
subordiration followed, and many re
turned borne, having to be provided
with tree passage to the nearest seaport,
either Charleston or Savannah. Finally
the oolony became ao demoralises, and
Curry so licentious, tbat the Grand Jnry
indicted him ana his queen paramour.
Carry, robed in white linen, with head
and feet bare, in imitation of the Savior,
appeared before the Court His qnsen
appeared in the same attire, with white
stockings upon her feet and white bow
upon her head. Speaking in nis own
defense, be maintained that men and
women conld live together as man and
wife without cohabiting, and that by
mortifloation and prayer I bey eonld be
come perfect He repelled the charge
of insanity, displaying muoh erudition
and familiarity with the Scriptures.
Carey had revelation after revelation
that a new era bad dawned, wben men
and women tbonld come out in tbe natu
ral order of tilings to a higher state of
parity. After speeches from the proee-
oution end defense, th - jury retired, and
after s half hoar's sbsenae, returned with
a verdict of guilty, with reoommenda-
tion to mercy. Th- sentence will be de
ferred for a few weeks. It is thought
the prophet and his followers will be
given an opportunity to find another
Canaan, far away from here, in whioh to
pitch their tents.

—Dr. Jones—Dear Sir: When I fiist
employed your skill, I was indeed s suf
ferer with all the ills that fqjlow the vio
lation of those laws of onr existence, the
abuse of which leave their terrible tale
too plainly told. My memory was im
paired, my body nearly rained; I had a
gone, langor feeling, nervous debility,
irregular sleep, startling and wasting
dreams, weakness of the book, floating
spots before the eyee, sometimes like
webs, forgetfulness, inability to concen
trate my mind, awful forebodings, desire
to avoid company, dull, heavy feeling.
I was wasting away and despondent. I
have been using yonr wonderful reme
dies now two months, and have regained
my former vitality and vigor; my mind
and body are improved—I am, indeed, a
new being, with nearly all my former
vigorous mind and body. 1 am now
able to pursue my occupation, and feel
that I am a man again, and know how to
shun, in tne future, that awful secret
habit which would have ruined me,
bnt foryour skill.
I am, yonr friend,
