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 The Citizens of Athens and Clarke County are respectfully invited to attend the annual meeting of the Clarke County Historical Society, at the College Chapel, at 104 o’clock a. m..

Last Thun day was his 77th birth day and few men of his age possess such buoyancy of spirits, such elasticity of nature or a better promise for many days yet to come.

Should his credit in “Hog and Hominy'-’ be exhausted, the Southern farmer pledges his entire crop for commercial fer- li.izers; for to be free from debt, he would 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. Slander.

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. Netherland, of Habersham; Cols J. 8. Dortch and W. R. Little, of Franklin; Cols. J. J. Turnbull and I 1 . S. West, of Banka; Cols. John B. Shannon and J.

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, I A T T A C II M E K T S will be kept for sale.
