The decision is well calculated to shake the confidence ot all right-thiuking meu iu the judi cial integrity of Judge Erskine and bri ng upon his head the maledictions of aa outraged public opion. The corruption of the times and political intrigue seem to permeate all departments of the public service, and the administration of justice is daily becoming more and more sub ject to the influence of partisamsm ami the means of advancing the pe culiar interests of political aspirauts. [office was tue fulfillment of a cou- i tract * r -h the people that they would serve them for a sum already stipu- 1 laied by law. Until the term of ser- vic* expired, they were under the moat solemn obligation to adhere to the contract. We do uot see anything to condemn as dishonorable in the increase of ! our President’* pay, or that of other Federal diguitaries and members of 1 Cougress for the future. The Presi- I deutial office ought to have attached I to it a salary commensurate with the dignity and importance of the same, I This is a great Government, and the | duties of the Presidential offio6 are far greater than when the old salary was established. The United States is a first-class power among the nations of theearth, and requires a larger sum to support the dignity of the Presidential office, in these days of high prices, than it did iu the days of the first Presi dents, when this was but a strug It i, charged «nd believed that Jtidg* „ y Republic. The same Entities late decision was but an I principles that apply to the Presiden- edict from the headquarters of Radi calism, and that it was necessary for him to enforce it in order to retain place and faver from his party. We do not pretend to say whether this ri true or not. If true. Judge Erskine deservedly loses the conndenoe of all good men; if not true, he has, upon his own motion, and without reason, shown the utmost disregard of public opinion iu the violation of law, as it is construed by our ablest lawyers aud jurists, and his condemnation is no less just But the decision is on the line of policy that looks to centralization of government and the abrogation of the rights of States. It is in perfect keeping with the spirit of the Radical party, and is but one of the means used by that party to infringe the principles of free government. It may not be so much in the interests of the the negro’s rights as it is to ■eenre packed juries for the convic tion of men who may be brought be fore the Conrt on false’ charges in spired by a bitter partisan spirit. The reasons of laws given in the de cision appear to be extremely weak and flimsy, as the labored argument of Judge Erskine fully attests. The decision is only calculated to throttle justice and to reduce the jury system in the Federal Courts to a mere facile instrument in the interest of malignant partisan prosecution. A UIXKBSOTA DEFAULTER. All the speculators with public moneys, to the detriment of the “dear people,” are not confined to any one place. The epidemic has broken out in Minnesota. It appears that the Treasurer of State has been lending the funds of his office aud pocketing exorbitant rates of inter est, wrung from the poor and needy, who were compelled to borrow. An investigation into the affairs of that Department reveals the astound ing fact that he has thus loaned the enormous sum of seven hundred thousand dollars, and that many of the borrowers are not able to pay it. lien will such rascals l« driven from places of honor and trust? Nt'ver under the present administra tion of our Federal Government Their motto seems to be, in the lan guage of the poet: I love to ttral aw»T." 1 tial office apply in like manner to j other offices of dignity in the Gov •rnmeut I If Cougress had confined its in creased pay-roll to the future, in stead of making it retroactive, it would uot have been bo objectionable. THE SUN AS AX ^ADVERTISING \MED1UM WTith no intention of boasting, but to state a simple business fact, we take pleasure in informing adverti sers that The Sun has a very fine circulation, both daily and weekly— perhaps, both combined, is as large as any paper in the State. We do not pretend to claim “the largest aggregate circulation,” for the reason we do not know the circulation of other papers. They all claim to have the largest, and until a proper test is made, which can be done if newspa per men will correctly count and re port the number they circulate, we shall not claim the distinction. But we do assure the public that The Sun has a much larger circula tion than some seem to think, and that it is daily increasing, not only in the city, but throughout the State. For this reason, we feel fully war ranted in asking the patronage of advertisers, fully conscious that they will find The Sun all we claim for'it tion, are unstinted in their denuncia turn of an outrage unparalleled in the history of the government. Dem ocrats and Republicans unite in hold ing up to public reprobation the men of their resj^ctive parties, and even the President himself, for an act of shameless cupidity that admits of no justification and palliation. In this fact we recognize a sense of right and decency which gives promise of hope ful results. This crowning outrage has opened the eyes «>f the people to (lie utter demoralization of Congress and has filled the homst voters of all parties with alarm, and the press but sjieuks the universal sentiment of the country when it denounces the re cent act of Congress as an outrage, and a disgrace, not only (o those who participated in it, but to the Ameri can name. Calling attention to advertisement of the State Treasurer, proposing to sell the new Georgia 8 per cent, bonds, | the Warrenton Clipper says: If the people of Georgia will only come forward and take up these bonds it will be the means of drawing mon ey from Wall street for investments in Georgia, and thereby reduce the heavy per cent, now demanded by capitalists. Referring to Judge Erskine’s de cision, the Columbus Hun says: The ballot-box is already a mock ery and a disgrace to civilization, uid it now appears that the jury-box is to be desecrated by the same twin, deformed brothers—tyranny and ig norance. The Franklin News has this to say about the bogus bonds put out by Bullock: Some of our exchanges are still in dustriously hammering away at tne bond question. We do not see why the proposition to pay swindling, fraudulent bonds should be prolific of any discussion whatever. The subject would do very well £or a cross road debating society to practice on, but it admits of no argument for statesmen. Georgia will not pay anything but her just debts, and do well to do that. FATHER KIRBTS REMAINS. The remains of Father Kirby, who died in Baltimore in April last, for many years assistant pastor of the Catholic Church in Augusta. Geor gia, were brought to the latter city on Sunday last and placed under St, Patrick’s Church, where lie the re mains of Bishop Berry and Father Duggan. The Constitutionalist says Father Kirby was a native of Ireland. He studied for the Priesthood and was ordained in early life. He was known as a good Priest and an ex cellent man throughout the commu nity. He was very energetic in push ing forward the building of St. Pat rick’s Church, and it was mainly through his efforts that the-work was accomplished so soon. Under his ministration the congregation was greatly increased. He was much loved by his congregation, and es teemed by the community generally, and the news of his death last April was received with uufeigned regret Small incidents sometimes produce great historical results—for instance, George Washington might cal persecution under the civil rights legislation of Oongreen, the Maoon Tele graph says: “Mr. Hi l’s argument does not leave the subsequent decision of the court against him an inch of solid around to stand upon—bat what then? We are in the era ol politics without reaeon—legis lation without sense or patriotism—and courts without law or jrntice. Le-ft to ms own instincts and judgment, Judge Erskine would do well enough. We be lieve be is natural!j a fair man; but he lacks the oonrage and ru ral strength to s\rm the wretched panicau drift of the times—wherein, from President down, every official and every official’s parasite is clamoring for the sacrifice of puolic justice, reason and oommou sense to tbs Dagou of African politics. “Mr. Hill savs th j point he argues is one of vital importance, and Dobody will be bold euoogb to question the truth and justice of tbat assertion. If the Blare of Georgia should enaot that the defendant in every civil suit should be permitted to choose a jury of bis particular friends, anu ti.e sheriff, in every trial lor misde meanor or felonv, should be required to ».mp»nel jurors who were the sworn ene mies of the t.ocused, we suppose every- ody would say such legislation viti lij important I Everybody would udni't tl at it made judicial inquiries a farce aud publio justice a mockery. “But in what respect are the packed junta practically any better ? These ja nes are drawn to determine questions arising under statutes in wbico they practically represent but one and a vio lent party, as to the defendants, through out, and they are mere facile instiumeuts in tlie bands of a malignant prosecution. For illustration: in this county ot Bibb, a negro—one Jeff Long—who since 1865 has uniformly headed the negro v« ters in the most aggressive at tempts to take possession of tne polls and prevent the whites from an equal chance to dep- sit their votes, and wno last fall organized one of the most violent on slaughts ou tne white voters, for that purpose, wliii h culminated in a tight—we say this negro heads tne jury list from this county, as we are info, med and be lieve, and has been selected to pass upou the guilt or innocence of.those whom his atrocious conduct reduced to the dilemma of either standing up to their righrs as iretmen or being driven ignominious y from tbe polls by showers of brickbats trom a mob of tyrannical negro roughs Now, thut is a strong and fair sample of this pucktd jury justice, and we say the Jiunais of civihztiiou may be oualh-uged in vain for a more signal death blow to justice and law than it penetrates iu this State.” 'I lie Bankrupt Act Amendment. Washington, March 17.—The follow ing has been telegraphed in brief, bat its importance warrants the text: An Aot to declare the true intent and meaning of the act approved June 8, 1872, amendatory of the general bank rupt taw. Be it enacted by the Senate and House of Representatives of the United States of America, in Congress assembled, Tnat it was the true intent aud meauing of an act approved June 8, 1872, entitled an act to establish a uniform sys tem of bankruptcy throughout the United States, approved Match 2, 1867, that the exemptions fallowed the bank rupt by the said umendati ry act should, and it is hereby enacted tbat they shall, be the amount allowed by the Constitu tion and Laws of each State respectively us existing in tbe year 1871; and that such exemptions be valid against debts contracted before the adoption and pas sage of such Slate Constitution and laws, well as those contracted alter the same, and against liens by judgment or decree ol any S.ate court—any decision ol any such court render d since tbe adoption and passage of such Constitu tion and laxs to the contrary notwith standing. Approved March 3, 1873. A. Horrible Murder. The last W nt'n Clipp r contained this: A horrible murder was committed in tliat" port on of Warren county known • s “The Neck,” od Saturday, the 15th mat., by a Mr. El Clarke upon tne body ot his wife. We nave beeu nua- ole to see any one from the locality where the deed was committed and are, therefore, nnable to give fall particulars. Rumor states, however, tbat he struck ner a blow with a large iron spoon on the back of her head, catting a thfee inch poah, he then pilecl the chai s aud tables over her lifel.es bouy, and actliu 0 lire to them, took one of nis children in bis arms and maae bis es-cape. The tire burned through the floor and the body of the unfortunate woman fell to the ground aud was pierced through aDd tlirougn by the billing of a partly burn ed sill. The ragged end of the sill tore tbe liver, heart and entrails out ol the lifeless body. W*- also learn that the youngest of the children which the fiend leit m the burning building with its The Bill io Increase Salaries. In a letter to the Tt legraph aud Mes senger, written March the 11th, ou the question of his vote on the above bill, tne Hon. E. W. Beck says. At the time the vote on tt e report of the Conference Committee was taken in the House I was not in my seat, but in my room sick. Therefore I did not vote on the report of the Conference Com mittee. I have simply, in justice to myseli, given yon the history of this matter in order that if yon allude to the subject again you can set me right; that upon tne test vo<e of tne bill—being upon its final passage and disconnected with any other measure—I voted no. This, of course, was before there was any refer ence of the whole bill to a Committee of Conference. Both Senators and all the members of the House of the Georgia delegation, except Mr. Mclntire aud myself, voted for the bill I do not write this to yon for publication, but simply to give you the facts, which the record will snstain, so that no injustice mav be done me in any cr.ticism yon may make upon the action of Congress in passing the bill.

It is about five mouths since I began its use; I have need six bottles, and have not had an attack since. It has been a great blessing to me; I cannot af ford to be without it, and I heariiiy re commend it to all persons who are at all troubled with lung or throat diseas. Very respectfully, . Mrs M. A.
