FOR CONGRESS 3rd DISTRICT; JUDGE C. F. CRISP, OF SUMTER. Election Tuesday, November 7tli, 1882. APPOINTM ENTS. Charles F. Crisp, Democratic nominee for Congress from the Third Congressional District, will address his fellow-citizens at the following named time and places. All are in vited to attend: Montezuma, Wednesday, Oct. 25. Lumpkin, Friday, Oct. 27. Preston, Monday, Oct. 30. Ei.lavillf., Wednesday, Nov. 1. Oglethorpe, Thursday, Nov. 2.

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 congross in West Virginia. This makes the delegation stand three democrats to one republican. 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. [to re continued.] 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.

BITSI3VJ3B3 SOXjIOtTED. oct23-3m 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. J.

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.
