To Corret/umiUnl}.—“ Innominatum,’’ in answer to
Plain Pads," is received, and will be inserted in our
next paper.
Tho proceedings of thp “ Anti-Semi"Tr-mprranee So
ciety” arc alto on hand, and shall be attended to.
Appointment} by the Governor.—Col. J. W. A. San.
ford to be General Agent in the Cherokee country, and
Commander of the Guard for the protection nf the Gold
Mines, with power to lease relinquished improvements.
Col. Charles H. Nelson, Agent, acting under the
order of Col. Sanford.
Both tho abuve gentlemen hnvo proceeded to their
stations—tho latter passed through here last week.
In a late number of the Augusta Constitutionalist,
we notice the following sentence:
“ The Athenian lately rejoiced at the success the Col
lege met with at Milledgevillc, but its gratification
seems Hindi lo have abated, in consequence of the
amendment offered by Mr. Blair of Habersham to thn
Collego Bill, and with which it passed.”
It is true our "gratification" was much "abated,” on
(he first perusal of this amendment; but on a careful
examination of the uAole act, tve cannot see that Mr.
Blair has thrown any obstacle in the way nf the pros,
parity of thn College. The amendment is inserted af
ter the annual appropriation of gfiOOO is made, and pro
poses to educate the poor young men, “out oflhe funds
hereinafter mentioned.” Now, ns no funds are after-
wards appropriated, except (10,000 for the specific ob
ject of rebuilding the edifice recently destroyed, it fol
lows that tho amendment is utterly incomplete and in-
operalive, having no funds wherewith to carry its pro
visions into effect; and consequently, that the prosper
ity of the College can neither be advanced or injured
by it. IVe arc Inld tint the friends nf >he University in
the Legislature, seeing that no harm could be done to
tho institution bv Ibis ridiculous appendage, chose rath
er to vole for the bill in ils present shape, than by vo.
ling against the amendment, to endanger the success
of the bill.
The Conslitutionafist says, "We shall see how the
College Union Party will get along with this difficulty.”
Fray, Mr. Constitutionalist, do you, on second thought,
see any difficulty in this matter ? If you do, we must
confess that ym can sec what we cannot. Query—Is
the writer of the remarks alluded to, the same parson
age who rung so many changes on " the College Union
Party,” in his recent eojmirn at Milledgevillc,and who,
with all the energy of a "Casar,” advocated the remo
val of the University I
Again—the Constitutionalist professes to " regret ex
ceedingly the situation of Franklin College,” and wishes
it ernfid be "restored to the situation it occupied when
the venerable Dr. Waddel left it.” If this is intended
as an indirect allusion to the gentleman who now fills
tho station of President of this Univetsity, grovelling
indeed must be the being that uttered it. It is only
necessary to say, to counteract the little influence this
libellous innuendo may have, that the prosperity and
reputation of the Collego has been equally as great
since, as before Dr. Waddel retired from it; and we
doubt not that the friends of the institution, whatever
might have been their regrets tt losing the ecrvices of
the former worthy President, feel, notwithstanding, the
utmost confidence in the talents and acquirements of
the present incumbent.
Georgia Legislature.—For tho last three months this
lias been tlic caption ot some one of the paragraphs in
neatly all the newspapers of the State ; and from the
long continued recurrence tn the proceedings of that
body, it would be no more than reasonable to suppose
that many mighty, magnificent and momentous efforts
of genius and talent had been displayed before a cred
ulous and admiring public, and numerous acts passed
for their behoof. What else could have been expected
from the "collected wisdom of tho State”—those tal
ented and vigilant sentinels over the public good, and
the public pocket? But have our expectations been
realized? Have we witnessetTthc perfectibility ofhu-
mait wisdom in all their proceedings? In short, what.
have they done 1 Why, they have passed me hundred
andsiity-serenactst And what are they ? One of the
first effects of their legislation was to leave the exten
sive and valuable gold mines in the Indian territory, a
picy to untamed savages and foreign depredators, and
that for a long Itmo after they were convened lor the
express purpose of preventing it. After a tiresome se
ries of irrelevant and fruitless debates, the bill to survey
and lottery Indian lands, (still in a state of doubtful ex
pectancy,) when their title should become extinct, was
passed. Then came—nav, don’t be alarmed, dear rea
der, wo will not compel you to undergo the pain of
reading an enumeration here, but only refer you to
one more in which they have shown their tender regard
for the people.
Tho following severely' ircaslic, ironical, and very
pertinent remarks, are from the Columbus Enquirer;
“ Among other things, wo find that a laiv providing
for thn compensation of petit jurors linn been passed—
The afflictions and privations and sufferings of that in
jured and oppressed portion of the community, lias been
for years operating most powerfully upon the tender
sympathies of those, whose modest merit needed some
thing to biing them nut, and show their great devotion
to the people. One little man was, we believe fairly,
styled the " weeping philosopher," from the tears lie
shed in the Legislature over the sufferings of the petit
jurors. Some who have urged this matter most ve
hemently, and who have sworn “’twas pitiful, ’twas
wondrous pitiful,” that a petit jury should not get
pay for their services, have been unkindly charged with
wishing to use it as a luibby, on which they might ride
into favor snd popularity. If they have used it in that
wav, we apprehend some of them will be thrown offin-
to the mud. Wo regret very ranch that some plan
could not have been devised, bv which the people should
be compensated for working on the roads, anil for do
ing militia snd patrol duly. Oh ! the people the people!
how thev do suffer from rho exactions nf tile laws !
" Bitter indeed must he Iheir svjfrrincs, when they can
afford tn pay two hundred and sixteen en four dollars
per day, for Bixty-scven days, to weep over them. Two
hundred and sixteen men employed for sixty-seven days
at four dollars per day—let’s see, that’s fifty-seven
thousand eight hundred and eighty-eight dollars,besides
incidental expenses to tho amount of several thousand
more! Oh, it is a wonderful hardship that the people
should be compelled to lose a week, once perhaps in
two or three years, in serving as jurors; yet they can
afford io pay this enormous sum, to have a few people
divorced wlm have married without reflection, and quar
relled without reason, and tn have a few schools and
academies and churches incorporated, which have no
more use f -r corporate powers, than legislators have
for those principles whieli seek the good of the country
in preference to the advancement of their own inleresi.
Ifany appropriation is asked for something that will
he useful, or to poy a debt of the Slate, the legislature
is wonderfully cureful of the people’s money; hut they
can vole away fifty-seven thousand eight hundred and
eighty-eight dollars, to pay themselves for guarding the
Treasury, without any remorse. It reminds us of the
fable of the man who employed the weasle to guard his
choeso from the depredations of the mice: It was faith
fully guarded front the mice; but the weasel destroyed
more in one night than the mice nibbled away iit a
month.
" But to the Ian- to provide for the compensation of
petit jurors. D provide? that the jury shall receive
three dollars for each verdict; two of which are to be
taken from the attorney’s tax fee The result will be
that the juries will receive no poy ot edl, except inliliga
ted eases—heretofore the defendant in plain eases
wnnld put 'iirns- lf to no trouble to eonfe-s judgment,
ss he eotild save nnlv one dollar by it—hut ns he call
now save three, he will think that a saving worth hi?
trouble, and fer Ihat the juries will get no pay. If it be
necessary that jurors should be pnid more than a< pres
ent, some provision should be made, hv which theii
rumpensatinn should be an equivalent for the services
rendered, nnd the time necesssrih lost in the discharge
nf iheir dunes, and not dependant upon circumstance
w hich may subject them to the same labor and loss of
time, and yet render their pay uncertain and fluctua
ting.”
We shall have little confidence in the affected sympa
thy of our Legislature for petit jurors, until hy a reduc
tion in their numbers or salaries, they provide s fund
from which they may bo compensated. When this is
done, the honesty of their intentions will be no lunger
questioned.
Foreign Affairs.—We regret exceedingly that our lim
its will not allow us to lay before our nailers a mine
full and satisfactory account of the late important events
in England. Suffiriont will bu seen, however, under
the usual head, tn show that the condition of that coun
try is far from being enviable. Although we had anti-
cipaicd and predicted, from the commencement of the
late French revolution, that the spirit of reform would
eventually pervade the whole of Europe, yet we were
not prepared for this sudden change in the aspect of
political affairs. It is said that the new ministry will be
more favorable to the views and wishes of tho people,
but wo greatly mistake the British character, if they
taller in their onward course, till they have effected an
entire and radical reform in the complexion of govern
ment. Their ears and eyes have been (or a long time
wido open—they have listened attentively to the remo.
test sound of relief or oppression— they have watched,
with Argus-eyed scrutiny, the course of events as they
transpired, until thp opening of Parliament—and find
ing there all hope »f relief cut off, tlic blow lias been
struck. They have accomplished something, hut the
fire is not yet quenrhed. It will continue to burn until
the chiff is destroyed—till tho drones and pantperr-d
sycophants „f a corrupt and profligate court, are driven
from their high places, and the King taught to know,
that even in a monarchical government there is msjes-
ly in the people.
Out news from the continent ie deeply interesting—
Throughout nearly the whole of Europe, “the cry is
•till fiir war!” It is rumored that Russia has declared
war against France; immense bodies of troops are as
sembling on the (rentiers, prepared to carry death and
destruction through the country. In Bdginin affairs are
still unsettled. The National Assembly at Brussels,
have declared that the Mouse of Orange (Nassau) are
forever excluded from the 'hrone ; but it does not ap
pear what steps had been taken for their future gov
ernment. Disturbance! have also taken place in Den
mark—In fine, the peace of Europe seems to be at an
end, at least for the present.
