in Abbeville oounty, rifle elubs and armed
bands of a lawless end murderous charac

grand jury to investigate these ohargos,
and if they found them to he untrue, tho
jury’a duty was to present them as “false,
defamatory and libelous."
Thb oity government of New.Oeleans,

HONOR WIIEtk IT BKLOSOI.
Tbe ardent friends of Mr. Hill, who de
sire to make him Senator assume to regard
him as the aavior of Georgia and the sole
redeemor of the Slate from carpet-bag
and military rale. Such a olaim ia wholly
unsupported by proof, and entirely erro
neous in foot. If there be one man to
whom Georgia is more indebted than
another for her deliverenoe from Itadioal-
ism, that man is A. It. Lamar, now Solic
itor General of tho Savannah Circuit.
Long before Mr. Hill commenced writing
his “notes on the situation,” Mr. Lamar,
then editor of tbe Columbus .Sun, advoca
ted and onforcod with all his brilliancy
and power the bold, uncompromising
oonrse whioh his Htate adopted,and whioh
has led to her present prostigo and pros
perity. True courage, physical and moral,
was then required to proclaim suoh a
policy and nrge it on the people. The
revolution bad just closed; Federal troops
were scouring the conntry and garriason
ing every village and oity. Offieors at
tempted to ran rough-shod
over tbe people, and satrapies
wore established all over tho
country. Tho undanoted editor was not
to bo influenced by fears or favor, by tbo
promise of rewards or the tcirora of in
timidation. Ito was called an extremist
in tboso days, hut Georgia at the present
time ia controlled by the very principles
whioh the extremists nrgod with such
foroe and vigor, and animatod tbo people
when hopoa were faint and the futnro
gloomy. We were in a position to know
that Mr. Lamar was frequently notified
by the Federal headquarters at Atlanta to
desist or thoy would suppress tbo paper,
and tbo military were then supreme, and
did whit they pleased without question.
Their menaces had no terror for him.
Probably for a few days he would be quiet,
when again bo would launch his arrows,
dipped in cauBtic, at those who were en-
doavnring to throttle his native Htate, and
every shaft told with terrible effeet. The
higher the authority the more direct was the
polished satire and keen cutting ridioale.
(Ion. Mesde, himself did not esospo ths
well-aimed shot. Ths adventurers and
traitors were rasped with the sharpest in.
veotivo, of which Mr. Lamar ia a master.
Gen. Meade removed him from the posi
tion of county aolieitor to whioh he had
been eleoted by the people. The attaoka
wore renewed with bitterest force. Tho
plan advooatod,, was to aooept nothing
which the Federate desired unless under
compulsion, and that Democrats must
rule Georgia. Huoh extremists created
and retained public opinion and encour
aged the week end desparing to ho strong,
and determined; never admit
dofoat, bnt press on defiantly
aud dare to maintain rights
regardless of eonseqnonooa. Other papers
took tho same grounds, afterwards leading
men, inoluding Mr. Ilill, ojught up the
call, all fell into lino, aud Georgia was
redeemed by the extremists, ehief among
whom was Mr. Lamar. Tho Hun, odited
by him, lod the forees of Georgia, and if
individual credit is to be given, the honor
must bo awardod him. Counted among
tho so-called extremists, were ox-Goveru-
or Smith, Gen. Uonning, Judge Craw
ford, Cote. Blandford,Thornton, Chappell,
aud others who wero Lamar's counsellors
and backers. This was long before Mr.
Hill sounded his clarion note and joined
in the poliey which has ro-eatablished
States rights in Georgia—which polioy he
abandoned at the Delano banqnet, and
has since re-assumed, because political
ruin awaited him if he did not.
RAILROAD PAtSXtl.
It ia really amusing to read tho opinions
of the editors on the late aetion of the
Georgia ltailroad direotors in removing
altogether from its books the free list,
ltoally, wo have not yet read an editorial
whioh does not approve tho new rale, and
notably among the writers are some who
nro always on tho wing and flaunt oftenest
the posses into the faces of conductors.
New these sumo gentlemen step to the
front, proclaim the independence of the
presa, aud that those who oontrol its col
umns should noither give nor ask favors-
It is all very funny, especially when we
feel and know tbe writer ia not expressing
hia real sentiments. Now, we are in
favor of free posses. We like to ride
sometimes, and if a railroad allows us to
do it for nothiug, we eertaiuly will not bo
guilty of tbe unutterable folly of
insisting on paying. An
nual, or oven a trip tioket,
is a comfortable thing to foci when funds
are low and tho conductor is approaching.
We say again, we like them. They are
good things to have aronud,no matter how
rieh a fellow is. We are downright sorry
(he business is to coase. We hope our
roads won't do it. That mau must be a
ohesp individual who oan ho bought with
a railroad tiokot. Our platfprm is to take
what is offered, aud if the company does
what we deem unjust or unreasonable lo
our poople we will condemn ns promptly
as we will praiso if there bo anything
comiuoudablo. A tioket, as we havo ob
served, is a good thing. We liko to have
them, and do not mean to refuse those
seut us by any eorporatiou. We have no
doubt regarding the other brethren of the
quill, who now are so righteously indig
usut, or cautiously commendatory, doing
the same thing.
Anotheb Score for Tilden.—The Dem
ocrats won another victo
ry this week in Florida. The Democrats
were pursuing their case before Judge
White of Iho Circuit Court involving the
right to foroe a recauvsss of the electoral
vote. The ltepublioans entered a demur
er tkst their electors having mot aud de
clared tho result according to legal forms,
the Court has nothing to do with the sub-
jeot. The Court overruled the demurrer,
and proceedings went on. Tbe appeal
will go to the Supreme Court on the de
murrer immediately, and no doubt the
same Court will have to review the decis
ion of Judge White, no matter whet that
may be.
—Tbe State Board of Health have made
an elaborate report, and are of the opin
ion yellow fever waa imported into Sa
vannah and Brnnswiek from Havana.
Tho Board are firmly oonvinoed that with
a proper regard to the laws of health in
oonneotion with an enlightened system of
external and internal hygieue, Savannah
or Georgia should never again be visited
- by so desolating a scourge.
GOT. MHITH.
Hinoe the publication of his message to
the Legislature be has grown immensely in
this section. The feet of his being from
Celombns, and ths prestige of obtaining
tbe United States Senator from this coun
ty, and the western portion of the Stale
ia having a powerful inflneneo in his favor.
In this county we believe, if left to a
vote, fully three fourths of the votes
would be polled for him. Ilia adminis
tration has been the exemplification of
houesty snd a devotion to tho best inter
est of Georgia. He rose from tho people
and is one of thorn. He is a man of
ability and sterling integrity and a keen
lawyer, who would proudly illustrate his
State iu the debates of the Senate, where
be would bo the peor of any. He has
judgment, and knows how not to injure
the oauso of hte people by inconsiderate
talk. He can also always he relied on, aa
he is one who will not pursue a vagary to
advance bis personal alma, or gratify his
ambition. He is an orator and a politi
cian iu whose fidelity tbo utmost reliance
can be placed, for he has been thoroughly
tested on the battle field and iu eivil lifo,
and Dover yet hag he beon found wanting.
Tbo farming interests are especially
strong for him, and ho is a favorite
among all oIssbcr.
Ex-Gov. Brown and Hon. B. II. Hill.—
The Now York Tribune, Jay Gould’H rabid
ltepubliean paper, greatly admires the
coursa of Hon. II. II. Ilill, while it ap
pears thoroughly disgusted with Governor
Brown's late letter on national affairs.
Tho “young editor,” as tho Now York
Bun oalls him, says Governor Brown’i
letter ought “to secure for him a promi
nent place in Mr. B. U. Hill’s category
of ten thousand fools.” Has it not come
to a delightful condition when Mr. Hill
wins praises from every extreme Bepubli-
ean press? He eertaiuly cannot have
invited thoir admiration by devotion to
tho Bouth. It is proof positive that the
striotnres on him in the South wero jnst
and deserved—iu other words that Mr.
Hill was very impolitio, to say the least.
Governor Brown’s letter refleated tbe
views of nearly every Democrat in Geor
gia; Mr. Hill’s did not. The Itepublicans
praise Hill and condemn Brown. Ilinc
ilia lachrymal. This ia another of tbe
oases in which Mr. Hill displayed his lack
of judgment.
LUNATIC ASYLUM.
There are now G04 pationts, 100 -of
whom were received last year—white
males 2G3, white femalos 253; colored
males 43, colored females 4. Of theso
40G are lunatics, 70 idiots and 5G epilep
tics. In 187G, 10 wore discharged cured,
13 greatly improved, 7 removed by friends
considerably improved, and G no better,
escaped and 44 died. Tho dead are
mainly from tbs epileptio and paralytic
olass. Seventy-eight applications wero
refused for want of room. The trustoes
want additional appropriations to provide
for 125 more patients. Tbe expenditures
last year were $10,000 less than appropri
ations. Speoisl amounts were given for
introduction of water works.
Tbe estimates for the current year,
baaed upon tbe preaenoe of COO patients,
ere $37,500. For one hundred more, an
addition of fourteen par cent, would bo
required.
The superintendent reoeives $2,500
salary; first assistant physician, $2,000;
second assistant, $1,800; chief steward,
$2,000; assistant steward, $1,000; apoth
ecary, $1,000; obaplain, $500; matron,
$900; eto.
The'gardener, Mr. William Humphries,
reports tbe market value of vegetables
raised to be $9,414.50.
The ohaplsio, Itev. J. H. Allen, in his
report, says, “My counsel aud prayers are
often Bought by many of the patients,
who often manifest more deep concern iu
tho mattor of their soul's welfare than
even pious sane persona. Singing exer
cises also seem to add much to the real
pleasure and profit of tho patients.”

VANDERBILT AND HI* CHILDREN
HIS SON WILLIAM WAS HI! FAVORITE.
Daring his protracted illness he lUfkly
permitted Cornelias (hit eon) to enter hte
room. Hte daughters married generally
very well. The eldest waa tha wife of
Horooe Clark, whoeo death gave the Com
modore great sorrow, aa ha waa hte chief
and trusted agent in hte gigentio stock
operations. The story of the marriage is
well kaown. Clark waa a bold, self-reli
ant, high-spirited man, and felt himself
abnndantly able to posh bis own way to a
front rank in the battle of life. When
he asked the blnff old Commodore's con
sent to boo for the daughter’s hand, the
old millionaire tannted him with
seeking only the money that might be ex
pected to go with her. Stung to the quick
with the nnjnst and nngenaroasreproaoh,
Clark flashed with indignation, and,turn
ing on hte heel to leave the offloe, told
Vanderbilt to “go toh—1 with his mon
ey,” adding to the hot-tempered ebulli

d—n for him or hte money, bnt that ha
did love his daughter better than ail else

gave his consent to a match whioh he nev
