Among the able editors of Arkansas
is a full blooded Cherokee Indian. He

The Republican will keep its readers
posted on all legislative matters that
concern this section during the coming
session of the Legislature.
Governor-elect Stephens not only
declines to run for the Senatorship, but
endorses Gov. Colquitt as the man most
fitted for the position. Gov. Colquitt
would accomplish great things for
Georgia, as much by his winning man
ners as by his ability, says the Au
gusta Chronicle.
Two miners announced in a Dakota
bar-room that they were going to dis
solve partnership. “Which of you is
to withdraw?” was asked. “Can’t tell
until the fight is over,” was the reply.
This was meant in earnest, too, for the
men fought next day with pistols, and
one received a mortal wound.
Abont the time the cotton market
opens each fall, there is more or less
embarrassment with reference to the
money supply. This condition con
signed with respect to its prevalence
generally, throughout the South, lias
been, perhaps, worse than usual, this
fall. The reasons advanced by those
to whom all necessary information is
available are big crops, requiring more
money to move them high prices fur
food, requiring large advances to the
planters; increase of southern business
without increase of home capital; cotton
future speculations, etc. The South
needs to do more of her own hanking.
It is said one of the managers of
Henry county election refused to leave
the ballot-box locked up in the court
house at dinner hour; also would not
gree to the proposition of a friend of
Captain Zacliry, who offered to pay
five men ten dollars to watch the bal
lot-box while the managers were at
dinner; but the Justice insisted that he
would carry it home with him, and in
vited any gentleman, who desired to
do so, could go home aud dine with him.
The friend of Zacliry tried to get some
one to accept of the invitation, but fail
ed to find anybody, whereupon he said:
“Major, I accept of the invitation, as I
can’t find any other who will.” So he
accompanied the manager to dinner,
and during the serving of the repast
they sat, each one, with his foot on the
ballot-box under the dinner table.
Death of two Prominent Men.
The Evening Graphic of Monday,
announces the death of two prominent
business men of Macon, Gen. William
S. Holt, and Mr. Asher Avers. Gen.
Holt died at Littleton N. H. on the
morning of the 22nd inst. at 6. a. m.
whither he had gone to spend the
summer on account ot his wife’s health.
Gen. Holt was president of the South
western Road. His death was a sur
prise to his wife, and to his friends in
Macon Ga. He was about 65 years of
age, and had led a successful business
life in Macon from early manhood.
He has relatives about Americus, to
those who feel his death most, we ex
tend our condolence.
Mr. Asher Ayers, lied in Macon on
Sunday, at 4. p. m. He was a citizen
of Macon since 1835, had a chronic
trouble in asthma, which had much to
do in hastening his death. He was a
fine business man and accumulated
quite a fortune, which he used liberally
in the pleasure of his friends and family.
He was 68 years of age at the date of
his death. Macon has been the better
for his having lived in it, and mourn
his losb.
The Republicans assume a sort of
hysterical laugh when reference is made
to their Waterloo defeat in Ohio.
When New York, Pennsylvania and
Connecticut vote that laugh will be
come a wild roar, such as a demoral
ized army puts forth in its stampede
before the conquering forces.
North American Review.
The North American Review for
November presents an unusually
diversified Table of Contents. “Eng
lish views of Free Trade”, by the Hon.
John Welsh of Philadelphia, is a clear
and forcible exposition of the difference
between the economic situation of Eng
land and that of the United States,
and of the considerations which make
Free Trade imperative for the former
country,if she would retain her present
position as the world’s workshop.
Joseph Neilson, Chief Judge of the
Brooklyn City Court, writes of “Dis
order in Court-Rooms”, a subject of
profound interest to good citizens at all
times, and more especially now in view
of certain recent occurrences. The
obiter dicta of the learned author
touching the Guiteau trial and the
Dawson-Gray incident at Dublin, are
characterized by the best judicial tem
per. Dr. Wm. A. Hammond, ex-Sur
eogn-General of the U. S. Army, offers
“A Problem for Sociologists”, the pro
blem being to determine the degree of
responsibility before the criminal law,
of persons affected by certain forms of
insanity. “The Industrial Value of
Women”, by Mrs. Julia Ward Ilowe,
is a very aide reply to an article re
cently published on “Woman’s Work
and Woman’s Wages.” “Advan
tages of the Jury System”, by Dwight
Foster, formerly a Justice of the Mas
sachusetts Supreme Court, will com
mand the attention of every thoughtful
citizen, being a grave and learned de
fence of an institution which it is be
coming the fashion to belittle and
decry. The remaining articles are,
“Safely in Theatres”, by Steele Mac
aye, the distinguished actor and the
atrical manager: “The Pretensions
of Journalism”, by Rev. Geo. T.
Rider; and a symposium on “The Sup
pression of Vice”, by Authony Com
stock, 0. B. Frotliingham and Rev.
Dr. J. M. Buckley.
Blackwood’s Magazine.
Blackwood’s Magazine for October,
republished by the Leonard Scott
Publishing Cos., 41 Barclay St., N. Y.
contains as follows:
Adolphus: A Comedy of Affinities.
Tunis. The Ladies Lindores, Part
VII. In the British Museum. The
Erskines and their Kinsfolk. Notting
ham Lace; its History and Manufacture.
Urbs Roma Yale! Part 11. By ,J. P.
M. The Story of James Barker: A
tale of the Congo Coast. The Situation
in Egypt,
Perhaps the most interesting article
is the account of the manufacture of
Nottingham laces, work that was
started on a hosiery frame, and by de
grees has been brought to such perfec
tion that even experts are sometimes
puzzled to distinguish it from that
made by hand. The two book reviews
are also very pleasant reading. That
on “Tunis” describes “the French Con
quest cf the Regency,” and gives many
quotations from Mr. Broadley’s work.
The other is an account of Henry
Erskine, Lord Advocate of Scotland
and his brothers David, Earl of Buchan
and Thomas, Lord Chancellor, all
“rich in talent, originality and eccen
tricity.”
Besides the serial, there is a Comedy
that is rather amusing, “Janies Bar
ker,” a sort of “penny areedful;” and
“In the British Mnseum” a warning
to philosophers. The Egyptain situa
tion is something like a game of con
sequences, a tribute to Sir Garnet
Wolseley, a discussion of Mr. Glad
stone’s sins of omission and commis
sion, and, what is to he the end of it
all?
Frank Leslie’s Popular Magazine
The November Number affords evi
dence of the fact, that this is the “most
comprehensive, interesting and cheap
est magazine published;” the 128
quarto pages are crowded with delight
ful and instructive reading and fine
artistic embellishments. The colored
frontispiece, “Teasing,” by William
A. Shade, is a perfect gem. “How to
Decide if a Man is Insane, and How to
Treat Him if He is,” “Colonial Days
and Tobacco,” by Frederick Daniel;
“The Lord of the World,” by William
Simpson; “The History of Kissing”
and “The Land of the Peri” are among
the prominent illustrated articles, and
replete with interest aud information.
The department of fiction embraces a
continuation of Caldor’s “A Whited
Sepulchre,” and short stories by Mrs.
Jane G. Austin, Julius Chambers and
other popular writers. There are sev
eral admirable sketches and poems of
considerable merit, most of them beau
tifully illustrated. There is also an
abundant and most interesting miscel
lany. The price of a number is only
25 cents or, $3 per annum, $1.50 for
six months and $1 for five months, sent
postpaid. Address Frank Leslie, Pub
lisher, 53, 55 and 57 Park Place, New
York.
There seems to be no doubt that
Wilson, democrat, has been olected to

COMMUNICATED.
Whisperings Around the Bar or
Dench Parties.
Blackstone, Kent and Story—.Oincga
Nun-Compos JUcntUK.
Blackstone,—Walk in Kent, glad to
see you. It is quite a treat to one cf
my age and feebleness to have the pleas
ure ot receiving my old chum of the
lecture room.
Kent.—Thank you B. for the com
pliment, and I assure you that it is not
only refreshing but flattering to me who
feels ever ready to bow at your feet in
search of knowledge, like Paul at the
feet of Gamaliel, though he sought
knowledge of a spiritual nature while
I that of a legal character.
B.—l am not prepared to admit that
there is that difference between the two
that your language would imply, for I
deem them both of divine origin. The
laws of the bible is but a transcript of
the divine mind transmitted to us
through Moses, an imperfect medium.
The civil law is as should be, a dupli
cate of the divine, transmitted to ns
through still more imperfect legislators,
both having for their object the same
high standard ot justice, equity and
morality. They differ in degree of
moral and intellectual excellence aud
notin their object and intent.
K.—Your teachings 8., are ever
new to me and opens new avenues of
thought.
B.—And yet the thoughts are as old
as the Christian theology. The kuowl
euge which Paul sought at the feet of
Gamaliel was that of justice, equity
and moral excellency, the object virtue
a purity of man and was transmitted
by Moses to Gamaliel, and from Gama
liel to Paul, sanctioned and concurred
in by Christ and his disciples, and em
bodied in a code of laws by modern
legislators.
K.—You certainly don’t hold the
laws of God and the laws of a Chris
tian nation to be the same?
B.—Most assuredly I do; the one is
but the requirements of God which de
mands justice, equity aud purity of the
human heart. The laws of man have
for their objective point the same high
standard of justice and morality, and
can only differ in degree by reason of
man, our present law-givers.
K.—Your reasoning forces me to the
conclusion that all law is or should be
founded upon the law of God as under
stood by Christ and taught by his pre
cepts and examples, and by consequence
the scriptures are a clear and well de
fined index to the object and intention
of the laws enacted by a Christian leg
islature.
B.—Just so. Take the law or rule
of evidence as an illustration. The
object is the discovery of truth in any
given case that justice may obtain and
not to mistily and confuse. This be
ing the object in view, no matter what
the language of the law is, we know
the object can only be obtained by the
testimony of a witness who is competent
in the highest, sense of the term. He
must be able to comprehend the mean
ing of a word and able to realize the
fearful responsibility that rests upon
him and the consequences of perjury.
A savage is not a competent witness in
a Court of justice in a civilized nation.
Neither is an infant, a madman or a
fool, whether his mental imbecility
comes from drunkenness or natural
causes. All evidence coming from in
competent parties should be ruled out,
that justice may be obtained, and I hold
that no law enacted by a Christian na
tion should be so understood as to jus
tify an attorney in thwarting the object
and intention of the law by confusing
a witness upon the stand.
K.—lt would seem to a casual ob
server that the law authorizing a sever
ance of the cougugal relations of man
and wife, forms an exception to the gen
eral rule. The laws of God teach that
adultry is the only valid cause of di
vorce, while the laws of man adds that
of cruelty as a sufficient cause.
B.—l do not so understand it except
in a qualified sense. The laws of di
vorce as recorded in the bible is a per
fect transcript of the divine mind, and
that in a Christian code is intended as a
duplicate, and should be so understood
as to require the measure of cruelty to
be equivalent to an act of adultery in
its effects upon the mind of the public.
It should be of such magnitude as to
disqualify the wife or husband for the
discharge of those high and responsible
duties which devolves upon the party
charged with the offense in the moral
and mental training of their children.
Neither would any act short of adultery
or its equivalent authorize a court of
justice in a Christian nation to absolve
a man or woman from an oath binding
the parties in the marital relations.
The pledge is made to God an 1 he alone
can absolve the parties.
K.—Why then did you lay it down
as a principle of law in your early writ
ing?
B.—“ When I was a child I thought
as a child, I felt as a child anil did as
a child. When 1 became a man I put
away childish things.” I have said
that a law is a transcript of the public
mind and as a writer upon the princi
ples of law, I give to the people a du
plicate of their own minds without re
gard to the question of harmony with
the divine law, and I here reiterate that
the laws of God as layed down in the
bible or our code never contemplated a
compulsory separation of man aid wife,
and the consequent denial of the right
of husband or wife to care for the moral
and mental training of the offspiingfor
a cause less than that of adultery or its
equivalent. It should be such a meas
ure of cruelty as would morally dis
qualify a husband or wife for the dis
charge of those high and responsible
duties involved the mental and religious
culture of their children. The great
law of equity and justice as eminating
from the divine mind underlies all re
ligious culture and is indelibly stamped
upon the nature of man, and upon the
instincts of the animal creation ( with a
single exception) and in the fowls of
the air. Even the serpent that crawls
in the dnst of the earth has this groat
ptinciple of justice and love for its off
spring implanted in its constitution.
We find it in the beast of the field from
the lion down to the skunk of the forest,
from the proud eagle that adorns the
American flag, down to the vulture that
lives upon the carrion that is taken from
the streets of our cities, all refuse to be
separated from their mates or denied
the right to care for and protect their
young. Even the silly goose and the
dirty viper recognize the natural right
10 live with their mates and protect
their young. How quick the viper en
circles her young with her slimey lolds
and hisses to scorn the power that pre
sumes to question the God-given right
to live with their mate and protect their
young. All live up to the grand
privilege of the intimate relation of the
opposite sex and of exercising a watch
care over their young, None but the
genus home man who boast of being the
noblest work of God yields to the force
of passion and love of variety and as
similates himself to the habits of that
disgusting bird, the Ostrich, of the
desert, which lays her eggs in the sand
and leaveth them to be crushed by the
beast of the desert. There is no parent
al instinct or natural affection for their
young that seems to characterize this
proud, beautiful disgusting thing of the
desert, and yet man, the noblest crea
tion of God is the only creature that
stoops to imitate her cruel habit by a
voluntary desertion of the duties of the
conjugal relations of man and wife.
The multiplicity of divorce cases which
tarnish the records of our courts sounds
the key note of alarm and points to a
misunderstanding of the law and im
presses me to say that no construction
of the law that tends to such demorali
zation as threatens a degeneracy of
Christianity can be a true rendering of
the law of divorce.
Just as I Heard It.

Notorious Character Dead.
Globe-Democrat, 20th.
Ex-State Senator A. Alpeoria Brad
ley, of Georgia, the colored banister, is
no more. At 7:30 o’clock last night a
young man ran down Fifth street to
where Officer Boland was standing
talking to a friend, between Olive and
Locust streets, and addressing the
policeman, said: “A. Alpeoria Brad
ley, the colored lawyer, fell on Fifth
and St. Charles streets, either drunk or
dead.” The officer hurried up, aud
found Bradley sitting up in a doorway,
as he had fallen. He gave him a hasty
examination, and came to the conclu
sion that he was dead, but sent for a
patrol wagon to take him to a physi
cian’s office to be sure. The remains
were taken to Dr. Atwood, who pro
nouced the man lifeless. The colored
senator was then taken to The morgue.
A lot of papers of value to no one but
himself were on his person. The only
money found in his possession was a
twenty-five cent piece. Ilis mouth was
distorted as though he had died from an
epileptic fit.
Bradley’s face was a familiar one
about the city, his long,gray, curly hair
giving him a peculiar appearance that
would attract attention any' where. Ilis
name was also well known, as his queer
sayings and actions in court, and his
writings, had often been snbjectto ridi
cule in the daily press. He was at one
time a State Senator in Georgia, but his
seat was contested, and he was ousted.
He came to St. Louis about two years
ago, and after several unsuccessful at
tempts to gain admission to the bar,
finally applied to a country judge and
was successful. He hoarded with Mrs.
Manly, on Morgan, between Eleventh
and Twelfth streets, and had never
been married. Unless some ot the
colored citizens take enough interest
in the old man to raise a burial
fund for him, he will probably find a
last resting place in Potter’s Field.
Crop Returns For 1882.
The Department of agriculture re
ports the average yield of oats to be
somewhat higher than last year or 1879,
and the product nearly as large as that
of wheat—probably about 480 million
bushels. The average yield of rye,
averaged from State returns, is 147
bushels, making a crop of twenty mill
ion bushels, or nearly the same as re
ported by the census. The indicated
average yield of barley is about 23 bush
els per acre, aggregating forty-five mill
ion bushels. The general average of
the condition of the potatoes is 81. In
the South, in the Ohio Valley, and in
Michigan, Missonii and Nebraska, the
average is from 100 to 106. In the
Northwest and Eastern and Middle
States the condition is lower. The re
turns indicate a probable yield of 80
bushels per acre, on an area of nearly
two million acres.
The yield per acre of corn will be
reported in November. [The condition
averages 81, being very high in the
South, and comparatively tow in the
States of largest production. In Illi
nois (with 8 per cent, decreased area)
the condition is only 72, in lowa 70,
and in Ohio 87. The three States
produced 40 per cent, of the crop of 1879.
Last Friday was an eventful day.
In addition to the Eastman hanging,
four smugglers were shot in Mexico,
and five horse thieves were shot in New
Mexico.
Extravagance
is a crime; and ladies can not afford
to do without Dr. Pierce’s “Favorite
Prescription,” which by preserving
and restoring health, preserves and
restores that beauty which depends
on health.

Atlanta Post-Appeal: In 1864,
while General Sherman was passing
through this section, the Kings, a
wealthy family of Roswell, owned a
factory worth about $50,000. In order
to keep Sherman from burning it, they
transferred it without consideration to
Tlieophile Roche, a Frenchman employ
ed in the factory, whereupon the French
man raised the French flag upon the
property and claimed protection of the
property under it. Sherman disregard
ed the Hag and burnt down the factory
and put Roche under arrest. Roche
now sues the United States for $50,000
and interest, damages for destruction
of property, and 20,000 damages for
his arrest and imprisonment, interest
and all aggregating about $125,000.

FROM HARPER’S BAZAR—September, 1882.
Another Velvet season is one of the certainties announced thus early by
the merchants. Plush is spoken of cautiously, and indeed deprecatingly,
because it does not wear satisfactorily, although there will be many entire
costumes of plush sent over from Paris. The best service, however,"is given
in the close short-pile velvets, and in the Nonpareil Velveteen, which is not
easily marred or creased. The Nonpareil Velveteen is found in all the stylish
new shades of old green, sapphire, wine-color, shaudron, bronze, seal brown
and black, and when made with the pile turned upward, so that it will he
raised by wear, instead of becoming flattened and sleek, it cannot be distin
guished from Silk Velvet. The difference in the price makes the costume
cost about one-third as much as if made of Lyons velvet, as the various quali
ties cost from $1 to 82 a yard. The Rnssian pelisse suits of this velveteen
will be worn in black and dark colors during the early autumn and entire
winter. The skirt will ho short and round, and its only trimming a ruche
like that on the pelisse. There will also be English morning suits of vel
veteen made with belted hunting jackets, or the short cut-away coats such
as gentlemen wear in the morning. The lower skirt will be pleated half its
length, gored at the top, and the gored part covered by ample draperies.
PETERSON’S MAGAZINE—For a very handsome toilet we know of
nothing that can take the place of the Nonpareil Velveteen.
IIEMOREST’S ILLUSTRATED JOURNAL—Nonpareil Velveteen,
when made up, looks so exactly like Lyons velvet that few experts can tell
the difference. oct2stf
