THE SUTLER Editors, HiitaummuM Thick $1.60 1’kh Annum TUKSDAY, FEB. 8th., 1881. Tile New Justice ol the Supreme Cullt'l. President Hayae-*t>ertainly oau- nut bo charged with ingratitude to his friends; for, he taw, ns well as we djw remember given each one ot them a comtortsble nud lucra tive position in the General Gov ernment. Home of the work re quited of some of these friends was of the dirtiest nature; which how ever was done without nuy hesita tion, and we may add was re warded without hesitation. One ol the last rewards confer red by the President for services rendered, is the appointment of Stanley Mathews to the Supreme Court bench. The time has been when that court was composed ot men of the highest legal attain ments and upon whose ebaractera there was neither spot nor blemish, and whose integrity has never— even by their bitterest enemies— been called in question. Think of that court when it was adorned by HERALD ,Chatt«boochee circuit may felici tate itself upon hn-ing another good judge to preside over its courts . The court room yesterday presented quit** au animated ap pearances. It was the day for sen tencing offenders,and it gave Judge Willis an opportuni'y to show the metal of which he is made, and right well did ita temper stand tin test. He bad before him offenders of every degree. The burdened wretch who prowled at night to rob honest people, and the thoughtless youth, who did bail without motive, with all the in termediate degrees of crime and folly. He had a select audience ul some twenty offenders, among whom he distributed his sentences with a discriminating eye; heavy enough in the lightest eases, it is hoped, to correct the habits of the erring, and light enough in the heaviest cases, to keep the offend ers out of temptation for years to come. Judge Willis has shown a purpose to deal justice to all in his circuit, ooinraencoing at Colunjbu«; to the good people of communities who pay for protection of life and pioperty, and to those who would endanger the one, and depredate -ipou the other. Evil doors will dad ho grace la hi#sight,' and all may take warning from Ilia work yeatenluy, and govern themselves 'accordingly.—Columbus Times. GOOD F0I1 UEHCEO. .. , ... , ,, I Wearepleesed to lenrn that the learning and purity of Marshall,! Rev S y|vanu» Landrum, D. L> , wa m “* 1 4 ‘ ha# consi-uttd to net us the finan- cial and traveling agent of Mercer University,with the view of increas ing its endowment fund. Dr Lan drum is oue of the ablesi and most popular diviuea in the Baptist Church. His genial manners and unaffected p-ely make friends for him anywhere. Under the mov ing appeals of this e oquent gen tleman,we doubt nut the 150,UOO Baptist in Geogia will respond handsomely in liehalf of their no ble and time-honored institution, hich is the peer of any nt the ■Story, Tanev, and in tact all who ever sat upon the bench pnur to 1861, and then contrast it with trie court as at present constituted, and wu will have uo cause at least to boast. Thu last appointee—Stanley Mathews—is believed by many to lie but the too! of Jay Gould, and that his vote and iuduence wi 1 on every occasion be given in fuvur of his matter and the rail roads gen erally. An appointment of this character would only be in keep ing with otaer appointment* in that high court. It is an admitted fact that it was, several years since so arranged and constituted as to se cure a tuling in favor of the cou- j ability of her honored president stltutioniilty of the “legal tender' 1 and focul^.-ZVrj/ropA and lies- act. But a still greater blow was struck that court when five of its j .dges were appointed on the ulepioral Commission adn three of them were found willing to smirch their judicial ermine in the dirt and mire, and render themselves iorever infamous by throwing their mantle over the greatest fraud and infamy perpetrated in modern times We mean of course the villainy by which Hayes was given the place to which Samuel J. Tilden was constitutionally unci fairly elected by the people of the United States. We arc s irry that any member of o* the ,‘Supreme Court was ever placed on the Electoral Commi-- sit-ti, and we equally regret that the President should appoint as one o' its members, any man, no matter how high his legal and intellectual attainments, against whom the charge is openly and emphatically made by a leading New York Dai ly, that he is the tool aod servant of a powerful railroad corporation Appointments of this character are calculated to briug the Court into diBrepute and by consequence, our institutions. Alter the fourth of March next we will have a new administration, and we are satisfied that Gen. Garfield if he will follow his own impulses will give us a fair sail honest administration of the gov ernment. We fear however thai he will allow himself influenced more or less by the professional pol iticians of his party. At all events we trnit Gen. Garfield will not <fl low h>f) judicial appointments to be controlled by any supposed party necessities, aod that he will return to tho practice of the early days ot the Republic; and that hiaap|>oiiit menu in this department will be limited to the beat and purest men of our country. South. Other States, it ia hoped, will also come to the rescue, und we trust that ere another year elapses, Meicer lluiversiiy will be as strung and well fumised finuri- cially us she is in the intellectual Penalty for YtTfe-Beating. Mr. Henry Bergh, president of the society f-r the prevoution ol cruelty to animals, is trying to have a bill introduced in the New York egislatu e to establish the whip ping post for the benefit of wife beaters.

WILLIS. The first court held in this coun ty by J udge Willis will prnbaly ad journ to-day. The session has been marked by a rapid and ia the main satisfactory dispatch of business No man has occupied the bench within our recollention, who gave greater Batiafactioh to the bur and people of our oounty and city than is promised by our new judge by this, his first sitting. Being a suund lawyer, and familiar with all the rules of practioe, he ia always prepared for any question that cornea up, and makes his decisions and ratings with a promptness that baa never been surpassed by any •f his predecessors, even after long fgperienpe on (he bench. The Train Wrecked, Two Men Killed end One Badly Hart Special to the Coloinbiii Tiroes. Greensboro, N. 0. February 1. A freight tram on the North Carolina railroad going East, con sisting of eighteen cars, including a passenger coach was wrecked one mile south of Gibeonville at 9 o'clock last night. The engine and twelve cars left thu track, going down an embankment eight feet high. Conductor Halsey ami fire- tnita Hanning were instantly killed.
