A lawsuit over a itd te<>r Is an even!

history of jurisprudence. Two years ago
last month a large meteor went spurring
around over lowa, and finally hurst t<>

Maas found one of the pieces, weighing
some seventy-five pounds, on a road that
he was travelling - over, an ] took if home
only to he soon notified that it didn’t be
long to him but to a society which owned
the lands through which the road ran
He refused to give it up, and the swiefv
brought suit. Maas claimed that it wa

and belonged to r.he realty by accretion
from natural causes, and the court sus

On Wednesday night la-1 a desperate
colored man named Sam Smith attempt
ed to outrage the person of Miss Brown,
in Monroe county. The villain would
have succeeded in accomplishing his din
bolieal purpose, but (or the fact that the
screams of the voting lady attracted the
attention of a colored man who was
passing at the time. Upon being dis
covered Smith fled, but was captured on
Friday morning and committed to For
syth jail, after a prelininary hearing.
He was obstinate and defiant during tiie
trial, confessed the crime, cursed the
court, and, but for the forbearance of a
law abiding community, who naturally
felt outraged at the perpetration of such
a crime, he would have been lynched.
On the Southern Pacific Railroad, 340
miles south of San Francisco, is seen a
unique piece of railroading, where the
track, after passing through a tunnel,
winds around the mountain and crosses
itself directly over the tunnel, thus gain

About 100 miles further south the road
runs through one of the largest tunnels
in America, that of Ban Francisco, 6,987
feet in length.

THK JUDICIARY SYSTEM C 'STINTED,
tfvetion fourth, of article fifth, provides for
District Judg-u—District AUorn-ys and the
procv-lureoftS.es!.- our;ln purtuiaitce of
this constitutional anthority, the legislature at
one time, ctriled into existence in each Sena
torial district of Uk; State a District Court,
ami District Attorney. Soon these courts
were -ecu to be Dead Sea fruit and were abol
ished : and experience early demonstrated
that this portion ol the Constitution was use
less lumber, it was clearly demonstrated that
this clas* of courts was not at all adapted to
our people : yet by virtue of this section, it
is at any time within tiie power of the legisla
ture to re-enact tli-ni Utterly unsulted to us,
t io authority even to establish them should
he expunged from the organic law.
TIIU ORDINARY.
.Section fifi.li, of article fifth, provides an
ordinary for each county, from whose decis
ions there may be an- appeal to tin- Superior
b’ourt. Tiiits section further authorizes the
legislature to east upon the ordinary, the su
pervision of roads, bridges, ferries, public
buildings, paupers, county officers, county :
funds, and taxes and other matters as the legis- j
iature may s--e projier to do at any time, i
There are certain duties that, by time honored
Usage an'l legal precedents, have been re
quired to be discharged by ordinaries, known
by that name in Georgia; in many other States
as Probate Judges; such duties as the over
sight of the administration of estates; the mu- 1
tual duties of guardians and wards, and du
ties cognate to these readily recognizable i
without enumerating details. They are gene- ;
rally numerous and important enough, to oe- |
etipy fully all the time of such officers, who I
properly attend to the fulfilment or the work |
of their offices. This section of the Constitu
tion, has in many counties, produced immeas- !
urable confusion and mischief. It can con- 1
fer power upon an ordinary as imperial as
was ever Caisars. Let the citizens think of it
fir a moment; recall to mind, if at some pe
riod in the past eight years, lie lias not seen
and felt, or read of, liow mightily this auto
cratic power was wielded in many, if not in
nil the counties of Georgia, by the ordinaries,
until the establishment of either County
Courts, or Hoards of County Commissioners.
In Georgia to-day, this dreadful one min
power is exercised in some counties, the
county courts share tiie powers ; in others
still, the Hoards of County Commissioners.
See what a tripartite county judiciary system.
No general uniformity in counties in the
transaction of county business ; as dissimilar
in many counties as the village communities
of India, or the cantons of .Switzerland. Citi
zens of neighboring counties do not, indeed
frequently know, if occasion calls them from
their own county to an adjacent county to
transact some county business, as for instance
to obtain licences to and particular things—or j
to apply to open—or close or alter roads, !
whether to apply to the ordinary, or to the j
county judge or to the Board of Commission
ers which are also authorized by the Cunstitu- j
tion.
In all candor, is this fair to the citizen? Is
it just to its own people, that its organic law
should provide for such contrariety of those
necessary county matters aud local regula
tions as are every day in some manner to be
acted upon by nine-tenths of the inhabitants
of the State ? To those who are asleep on
questions of fundamental laws—to those who
are indifferent to any interest or earnestness in
what is, or what is not a good Constitution,
to those who in their own mother tongue
“never bother with politics no how ” —to those,
who, like some stoical philosophers insist that
“the best wig is never to seem, to mind it,” let
them pardon us for asking them to arouse
from their slumbers—shake oft’ their drowsi
ness, and answer if they are not interested in
roads, in public buildings, the bridges, ferries,'
county officers, paupers, county funds, county
taxes, and how these imp >rtant matters shall
be regulated in and about them. Do you not
have road duty to perform ? Are you not in
terested iu reducing your paupers list? Are
you an xious to know the status of your county
taxation; and are you not a tax payer for
much or little amount? Are you not desirous !
that your county finances should be judi
ciously administered ? Do you not know that
a uniform system throughout tlie State would
work wonders of improvements for each and
every county, if the same machinery was used I
tu all the counties for county purposes? Let;
us have ordinaries confined to the circum- !
scribed duties of looking after the admiuis- 1
trators. guardians, settlement of estates and
kindred works which the Ecclesiastical Law
of the early forums—(hecommou law of m-Ji- j
eval aud modern times, and the statutory cn- ;
aetments of the American States have cast up- j
on Ordinaries aud Probate Judges. Within j
this limit let these officers serve the public. ;
and at these things they will have all their .
time occupied.
In this connection it would bo well to men
tion that as this article of the Constitution au
thorizes County Courts. District Courts and
Boards of Couuty Commissioners to be estab- :
lished for the disposition of the county busi- !
ik>ss, aud trial of civil aud criminal causes of ;
minor grades, that there is no portion of the
Constitution demanding revision more than !
this, for the reason that there should be a
single well regulated system over the entire
State for all the counties.
It is not going hack upon the march of
cither time—the advancement of jurisprn- ■
deuce—the progress in material industry or
tlie development-of a more general civilization
that signalizes the beginning of the last quar
ter of the 10th century to say, that this hete-;
rogenous portion of the Constitution could be
well remedied by organizing for each and
every county, a court for county purposes on
the plan of what was once, and long well
known as
Tin: INFERIOR COURTS.
They might be called just what the people
would please to call them in anew organic
law. It would be a work of supererogation—a
useless and ostentations parade of memory
aud legal statistics for a Georgian to tell our
people what the inferior courts, as existing
when the present Constitution abolished them,
" ere. It is enough, to know, that these courts
organized as they were, and presided over by
almost without exception in every county,
five conservative intelligent men. were the
most satisfactory courts we ever had for the
transaction of all the general business of the
county, except that which by law was and
*b‘>u! (l.*e confided to the ordinaries.
The objections to e un y courts, arc, that
they are too expensive and require too much
jury duty ; the same objections were found to
follow the Disiriel t • urts; the Boards of
County Commissioners have not jurisdiction
enough, in asmuoh as they have never been
invested with authority to try civil causes or
criminal causes of any grade whatever. The
Couuty Boards are mere fiscal boards to look ;
after finance-and roads, and such other duties
a p-riiiin ••omi** bu-uw-
out of the county revenue and taxation Ac.
These Boards have very generally done iheir
w-.-rk well. And if they were permitted to be
organized on tlic model of our old Inferior
• Courts, they would accomplish the desired
j ends in> expediting the county business. In
: many counties, where there are no county
courts all .be cases of every kind, civil aud
criminal are irjeti in the Superior Courts; ne
cessitating long terms of the courts, frequent
, adjourned terms, yet too often leaving crowd
ed dockets much to the annoyanoe of liti
gants who are anxious to have their causes
determined and their mutual lights adjusted.
Presumed that every citizen has the interest
of his State at heart, let us ask, let vbur occu
pation be what it will, suppose that your in
terest, your business, your time—your pros
pects for reasonable success or unpleasant
failure were all in confusion from a want of
method or uniformity ; would you not at once
correct the evil as soon as you discovered it?
Yon would, says every fair mind. Then do
voa not owe the taimt duty to the State? Do
you not owe the- ame duty to your ndighbor?
I)oyou not owe the same fluty to the tender,
to the youthful—to the helpless in providing
an organic law, that in its harmonious judi
ciary system shall be like “the shadow of a
mighty rock” to the living present and the
generations to follow : a place, a refuge
and a shelter of repose and protection when
ever it becomes necessary to invoke the inter
position oi tire judicial arm of county govern
ment ? County courts, it makes no difference
what name j'on call them if modeled on
the plan of the Inferior Courts that existed
in Georgia fi r a half century, would produce
harmony in the judiciary system of county
business. A worse system could not be well
devised for the counties than this portion of
the present Constitution of Georgia. Hoads,
bridges, the pauper question, taxation—the
comfort and safety of the public buildings; the
county finances are matters so momentous that
too much harmony and uniformity throughout
the State could not be too attentively consid
ered by the citizens who now have time for re
flection on these things. It is for just such
evils to be remedied as these springing from
-this ill-arranged portion of our Constitution,
that a convention is desirable. A Convention
is net called to build lip any political party', j
nor to oppress any race of people—nor to in- j
jure any class of people or department of labor j
of business ; but for the purpose of obviating
such unseemly and unsuited organic guides,
as these sections to which much of this com-
munication has been pointed. We appeal
now in all candor to every citizen and ask—
Does not this portion of your Sta l e Constitu
tion, presenting such a medley of a judicial
system for county purposes, need some medi
cine ? Does not its lackadaisical proportions
need some healthy tonic ? Does it not as the
medical fraternity would say in prescribing for
chronic cases, need Constitutional treatment?
Every voter is a Galen—Hippocrates orLietir
gtis enough to apply the remedy. He has only
to waive his immaterial prejudices and par
tisan feelings un some isolated questions, and
rally to the support of a convention and
have chancres made in these parts of the or
ganic law so imperatively demanded by all the
good interests of society.

Atlanta, Ga., January 6, 1870.
During the last nineteen years 1 have
been tormented almost beyond human
endurance with a cancer in my right
breast. I have tried in vain many cures,
and had spent many thousand dollars,
and was finally given up by all the doc
tors in the South as hopeless, and was
suffering the pains of death daily; in
this condition I persuaded Dr. Con
naughton to do what he could for me.
After using his mild vegetable remedies
four weeks my health was better and be
had removed the cancer. He had taken
me from the very brink of tiie grave. It
is now four years since I placed myself
in the care of this great physician, and it
is three years and a half since I ha/e
felt anything of the cancer, which had
tormented me day and night for nineteen
years. I am cured, and Dr. Conuaugh
ton done it. Money and words can nev

Cheap Home-Hatle Fertilizer.’
We have been requested to republish
the following instructions for making a
superior fertilizer, by a farmer who has
tested it side by side with Peruvian Gua
no, and pronounces its effects equal to
produced by that high-priced ma
nure. Ifthat is the case, and we have
no doubt of it, for our informant is a
reliable gentlaman, and would not de
ceive any one, the informantion, if acted
upon, will save to this District alone,
thousands o f dollars. We hope some
one will try it:
Take 7 barrels of dry muck, 1 barrel
of ground bone and 1 barrel of raw plas
ter of Paris, mix these together ; then
take 50 lbs. each of common salt, glau
her salts, nitrate of soda and sulphate of
ammonia, dissolved well in about a barrel
of water aud add to the first mixture.
Mix well together through a screen and
keep dry for use. Two-thirds of the
above ingredients can be obtained on
every farm, aud the ctiemioals can be had
of any wholesale druggist, while the
whole that will have to be purchased
would not cost over S2O. The above
quantities will make about one ton, and
can be made at one-quarter the price
charged for a ton of Peruvian Guano.—
