CARNESVILLE—THE PEOPLf—THE SUPERIOR
COURT—TUB AGItlCULTU 'AL PROSPECTS
—A KAiLltO.P NEEDED «Jfcc.
Last week we paid our first vi-it to the
grand old county of Franklin. And just
here let ns attest, if there be that which
can charm away the melancholy of our
spirits and relieve the depression consequent
upon hard t men, it is that truce given to
the routine of duty which will enable one,
especially an editor, to betake liiniself to
the rural dist ic s, there to be refreshed ly
a contact with true nature. Callous indeed
must lie l»e, who lms being afforded an
opportunity of beholding nature in its spring
time garb, and iiiiuglin" witii the “ tawny
sons of the soil,” the honest yeomany of
the land, fails to experience a sense of true,
refreshing relief, in the consciousness that
his lot has been east in sucli a country, and
among sucli a people.
After a ride of thirty-two miles, in com
pany witii one of those clever and jovial
Athenians, his like being a Gods blessing to
any community, we reached the old and
venerable county site, Camesvilie.
Being most hospitably received at the
on business. The Grand - Jury found
several true bills, which goes to show
that old Franklin, notwithstanding she can
boast as good a citizenship as any county in
this or any other State, baslike the balance
of the world to contend with her evil doers.
We were honored by being shown the pre
sentments of this body, and aside from the
creditjwhich the document reflected upon
these chosen jurors it made qnite a fair show
ing for the county which they had the honor
to represent.
COL. GABRIEL NASH.
One of the most pleasing incidents of this
visit was our meeting with this gentleman
•o long, so well and so favorably known in
t i- part of the Stale. Col. Na.-h spoke n
feeling and most complimentary terms of tn r
deceased and much lamented townsmen,
Judge Jos. H. Lumpkin, Judge Chas.
Dougherty, Gen’s. Howell and Tom Cobb,
Col. W. G. Delony, Capt. EL Lumpkin and
others, proving that coupled with his jovial
and somewhat ecentric nature is as warm a
heart as ever throblted within the bosom of
man. Col. Nash was admitted to the bar at
Carnesville the 17th day of March 1825, and
during the period of fifty-one years in which
he has practiced Is w, he has never missed but
one court at that place. Then he was absent

under the present system of itching his
crop, is the most abject slave of the coun

Should his credit in “Hog and Hominy'-’
be exhausted, the Southern farmer
pledges his entire crop for commercial fer-

be miserable.

THE SUPERIOR COURT,
i, ; Judge Rice presiding, was iu session at
Railroad Depot, 4-4,333 35 Carnesville and gave quite a lively appear
—— r | ance to the town. This term of the court
*3-8,006 <>a was quite an interesing one. Tlie follow-
' ing were the most important cases tried.
Warren Howell vs. Tho3. J Fisher.

and Laugetuu for defendant. Verdict for

administrator. Appeal from court of Ordi

Turnbull, Dortch and Little for plaintifl aud
Langston, Estes and Neuierlatid tor defen
dant. Two duys were consumed in the trial
of this case and a verdict fiually rendered
for plaintiff,the administrator being removed.
The case will be carried to the Supreme
court. Quite a number of small cases were
disposed of on the civil docket The criminal
docket was taken upon Thursday afternoon,
and Solicitor-General A. L. Mitchell made
bis debut in the case of State vs. Jack Dan-
iel, (col’d.) Simple Larceny. The Solicitor
proved Jack guilty of sheep stealing, not
withstanding Messrs. Thurmond aud Little
tried to get the jury to see it in another
light. It was proven that “ Jack the sheep
killer n hid his booty in a gourd uudei the
bed. Upon this point in the evidence Col.
Thurmond became very humorous, iu his
remarks, saying he had ofteu beard of
“ sugar in the guard,” but never before
heard of sheep in the goard. The Judge
informed Jack that sheep stealing was the
very lowest order ot theft, and as the coun
try was now suffering from sheep killing
dogs, the legisla ore having failed to pass a
dog law, that his sin must be atone-1 for either
by his paying a tine of fifty dollars or a
service of twelve months in tlie cltain-gang.
A few other cases were tried which we
failed to note. The Bar was fully and ably
represented by the following attorneys:
Col. Gabe Nash, of Madison; Col 8. i*.
Thurmond, of Clarke; Cols J. S. Langston
and J. B. Estes, of Hall; CoL G. M.

BAYARD.
Tlie New York Herald pretends to be
remarkably conservative, and at present is
dealing out its sage counselling to both par
ties. After lustily calling fur Conkling as
the Republican standard-bearer in the presi
dential election, and setting that gentleman
firmly up in his campaign, the Herald very
geueruusly turns around to the Democratic
side, and from whatever motives the follow
ing sentiments came, they are none the less
weighty ami true.
Says the Herald: Mr. Bayard is n con
sistent democrat who has never flinched nor
wavered. He alone, of all the able men ot
his party, bad the'political coinage and mau-
ly sincerity to stand up in tho Baltimore
Convention in 1872 against the dkastriou*
blunder ot tying the democratic • party as
m tail to the Greeley kite. The result of the
election vindicated his forecast and wisdom.
Not only .did he keep his head level on that
critical occasion,' but he has been equaly
firm, self-poised and clearsighted on erery
occasion. Senator Bayard has tie.cr made
a political mistake or raiscJculation in re
lation to any important sul ject. On the
currency question he Mauds almost alone in
never having exhibited the slightest symp
tom of weakness or vacillation either in the
Senate or on the stump. He did no wait to
consult with friends before deciding whether
he would receive the hark pay, but spumed
and refused it at once. He is a gentleman
ot surh high honor and robust integrity that
ho is quite inrapahle of hesitation in any
point of conduct which has a moral side. A
man whose whole nature thus recoils from
5 trimming exptdiencies commands the respect
pfhis political adversaries. His character
is n shield which blunts the weapons ol par
tisan attack, an I bis chantea of election
would I* decidedly better that those of any
other democratic candidate,
