Contributors to our paper on all subjects—
and especially writers of controversial com
munications —will please bear in mind, that
while we consider it our duty to give all par
ties a “fair showing” in the columns of the
Forest News , yet we claim, as our right, to
hold the “balance of power” —to publish ar
ticles for which we make no charge, at our
oten convenience, and when, after allowing all
sides equal space and time for discussion, the
“line of demarcation” has been reached, our
prerogative of applying the “check-rein,” will
be brought into requisition.
„ Printing Office Secrets.
The Brunswick Telegraph says that a
properly conducted printing office is as much
a secret society as a Masonic lodge. The
printers are not always under an oath of
secrecy, but always feel themselves as truly
in honor bound to keep secrets as though
they had been put through tripple oaths.
Aity employee in a printing office, who wil
lingly disregards this rule in regard to prin
ting office secrets, should not only be scorn
ed by the brethren of his craft, but should
lose his position in the office at once. We
make this statement, because it sometimes
happens that a communication appears in a
newspaper, under an assumed signature,
which excites comment, and various parties
try to find out who is the author. Let all
be saved the trouble of questioning the
honorable employees or attachees of the
printing office. They are “know-nothings”
on such points as these. On such matters
they “have eyes and ears, but no mouth,”
and if they fail to observe this rule, let them
be put down as dishonorable members of the
craft, who arc unworthy to be trusted with
anything.
Homesteads.
The important bill of Senator McDaniel,
on this subject, we inserted a few weeks
since. Another bill passed by the Legisla
ture at its late session, and which we have
not, as yet, seen in full, provides how home
steads shall be set apart. The petition must
contain a minute and accurate description of
all the property owned by the debtor, includ
ing that not claimed, as well as that claimed,
to be exempt, and a list of his or her credi
tors and their post-offices, if known, and must
he sworn to. Written notice must he given
to each creditor of the time of the filing and
the day of the hearing, if the creditor lives
out of the county, he shall be served by
letter.
The homestead is declared to be an estate
for years, and the Remainder interest is liable
to be sold and reverts back when not sold to
the estate for the payment of the debts. All
re-investments shall be made like trust prop
erty by order of the Judge of the Superior
Court.
N. B.—Since “fixing up" the above for pub
lication, Wednesday's mail lias brought us a
copy of the “amendments” to the homestead
law, and they will appear next week.
Dr. Lovick Pierce.
Speaking of this venerable “Father in Is
rael,” the Washington Gazette remarks :
The venerable I)r. Lovick Pierce will be
ninety-two years of age this month, lie has
been in the ministry seventy-one years. lie
is the oldest minister in the United States
and has been longer in the ministry than any
preacher of any denomination in this coun
try. He has not retired from his labors in
the vineyard of bis Lord and Master, as
many would do at his extreme age, but is
still laboring and striving in his noble and
blessed calling. 11 is efforts during these long
years have not been in vain, but many rich
harvests have been gathered by the church
from the seed sown by his hand. He still
visits the annual conferences of his church,
and still preaches the gospel with great pow
er. Standing as it were, between two worlds,
living in the present and ready at any time
to pass into the future, his sermons are lis
tened to with the deepest interest by those
who arc more of this world. Georgia is in
deed proud of this venerable son, and many
will mourn when his summons comes to cease
from his labors; when his voice, which has
been lifted in warning for so many years, is
stilled forever.
As Cool as a Zephyr.
From the following paragraph it will be
seen that the lovers of iced juleps, lemonade,
&c., are no longer dependent on “old hoary
headed winter” for their supply of the sum
mer luxury—lce. The Augusta Chronicle <s•
Sentinel says :
The Augusta Ice Company commenced
operations last Monday, and is now making
32.000 pounds of ice daily. The ice is of a
very superior quality. The machinery is in
splendid order and works admirably. The
company will la}’ up a store of ice in its ice
house, preparatory to the Summer campaign.
This is one of the most important industries
of Augusta, and has proved a great blessing
to the people by reducing the price of ice
and giving a full supply of the frozen fluid
now almost indispensable in this locality in
the Summer months. The company is pros
pering under its present management, and
its recent exhibit will compare favorably with
that of an}’ similar institution in the United
States.

Gen. Belknap’s Bribes and Frauds—More
Radical Corruption.
The impeachment of Gen. W. W. Belknap,
Grant's Secretary of War. conies on us this
week, like a clap of thunder from a clear sky.
We did hope that a little honesty was left
with some of them, and we hardly thought
that Belknap would prove the greatest villian
of them all. Grant made great haste to ac
cept the resignation of his pet, whose public
impeachment beseemed to dread. The House
seems determined to proceed any way, and we
hope they may succeed in unearthing the vast
corruption which, as indicated by this Belk
nap case, underlies the whole Radical admin
istration and permeates all the Radical poli
cy, from Grant's down to the lowest. The
President is not shown to be directly impli
cated, but he has been found to be very close
ly connected with so much villiany of late,
tfiat the oonntry can hardly believe him to be
perfectly innocent.
If the Democratic Party is ever to rise again,
now is the time. We have only to keep these
corruptions before the people. Surely, surely.
any party that will be united and let other
issues alone, can defeat the Radicals now.
No party ever had such a load of corruption
to carry, and if we do our duty, the leaders
of that party will have no time to wave the
“bloody shirt” or cry “Ku Klux.” We plead,
with the confidence of strength, in the name
of our country —we beg, that our Organs let
“Hard” and “Soft” money alone, and bend
all energies to expose corruption, and keep
our antagonists on the defensive. We do
dread these other issues, and if we make them
we lose all the immense a Wantage which we
now have. Wc are blind if we do not see the
plain path before us. “ Keep the enemy busy
explaining’’ ; what need we more ?
The Babcock Trial.
Numerous are the comments of the press
of the country on the result of the Babcock
“crooked whiskey” trial. From among many
we copy the following. The Nashville Amer
ican remarks: —
Tiie Verdict. —lmpartial readers who
followed the course of the Babcock trial, as
detailed in the daily dispatches, generally
concede that the Government did not make
out a case, and that, if the jury had brought
jin a verdict of guilty, the court would be
bound by all precedents to grant anew trial.
1 Yet the conviction remains that the real rea
son why the Government failed to make it's
ease, was because it was not permitted to do
so. The court was singularly strict in its
j rulings, excluding proffered testimony—more
strict, indeed, than in any of the preceding
whiskey trials. If the Government counsel
, had been so hampered in the presentation of
evidence, it is doubtful if McKee, McDonald
or Joyce could have been brought to justice.
The Cincinnati Commercial puts it bluntly :
“We are not of opinion that the acquittal "of
Babcock is due to his established innocence,
jor to the lack of testimony against him.” The
; Cincinnati Gazette says suggestively : “ AYe
1 hope that the country's escape from the ad
i diiional disgrace of the conviction of the
President’s confidential Secretary, of conspir
ing with revenue officers to steal the public
money, has not been at the cost of letting
escape one who, if guilty, is the most guilty
of all.” There is all the bitterness of truth
in its closing comments as follows:
“The verdict would have better moral ef
fect also if it were not for miserable circum
stances which make the horde of corrupt rev
enue officers, and all the conspirators to rob
the country, rejoice over this verdict, and re
ceive it as tl e promise of immunity, and if
there were n< t a wide-spread impression that
they who are too faithful in prosecuting cor
rupt officers arc now to have a day of reckon
ing.”
Mr. Hill’s Maine Lelter.
Hon. B. 11. llill (says the Augusta Chron
icle $ Sentinel.) was recently invited to
attend a twenty-set ond of February celebra
tion at Bangor, Maine. Not being able to
leave his Congressional duties he sent his
hosts a letter. In it he told them that
though he had never been in a Northern
State until after the war, he knew he did not
entertain a political sentiment that would
not find a cordial response from every true
Union man of every party in every Northern
State, lie said lie opposed recession and a
war of subjugation and reconstruction, be
lieving eacli were terribly inimical to the
preservation of our glorious constitutional
system. He submitted to each as he submit
ted to the death of a parent—from necessity,
not choice. No man could rejoice more that,
in spite of secession and reconstruction, the
Union still lives. The following sentence
applies with especial force to a distingushed
citizen of the State to which he was invited :
“Whatever doubts may exist as to who was
wise or unwise, patriotic or unpatriotic, in
connection with the abuses which pro lueed
secession, war. and reconstruction, all must
admit that he is neither wise nor patri
otic who would keep alive the animosi
ties of the strife after the strifes themselves
have ended.” Speaking, as a representative
man, for the Southern people, he added:
They admit the freedom of their slaves and
ask no compensation for their property.
They concede the citizenship and enfran
chisement of the Colored race, and without
stopping to discuss the wisdom of their en
franchisement, they will do. as it is their
interest to do. all in their power to make the
race worthy of these high privileges. Their
representatives cheerfully vote to tax the
lame Confederate soldier to pension the lame
Union soldier. In a word, they accept the
Constitution as it is. and offer to imbue that.
Constitution with the spirit of the UHion as
it was. What more can brave men de
ni ami?
isP*\Ye think it will not, be disputed that
if there is one man in the State who, better
than all others, knows how to put the circu
lating medium where it will do the most good,
the man is the Hon. Joseph E. Brown, late
Chief Justice by the grace of Bullock.— Ex.
We enter no “demurrer” to the above com
plimentnry (?) notice of the “late Chief Jus
tice by the "race of Bullock,” but simpty re
mark, the great mistake of the “Chief’ was
when he “shut down the brakes” on the “cir
culating medium.” If he hadn't been quite
so selfish, and male an annual distribution
of 25 or 30.000, what a glorious peace would
“now reign in. Warsaw 1”

Augusta Chronicle: AVe are afraid that
the Phillistincs have us on the hip. The
Columbia Union-Herald calls attention to the
fact that the honest and economical Demo
cratic Legislature of Georgia employs fifty -
fonr clerks, while the swindling and extrav
agant Legislature of South Carolina employs
only five. AVe are afraid we shall have to
go back on “the party” and. score one for the
South Carolina Radicals.
U# ’ The Augusta Constitutionalist has no
doubt in the world that Babcock was acquit
ted on the plea made by his couusel,
AVillams, Storrs and Porter, who identified
the President of the United States with his
private secretary. As even that much abused,
but very good-natured, creature, the ex-rebel,
who figured largely on the jury, did not like
to make Grant, the Chief Magistrate, look
ridiculous in this Centennial epoch, we must
presume that an acquittal of the secretary is
the acquittal of his master.
The Gwinnett Heifdd is informed that
two very respectable citizens in the lower
part of Gwinnett county were called out
from their homes one night last week by a
band of unknown persons and severely
whipped, and that one or two houses were
visited afterwards, it is supposed on the
same business, but failing to find the persons
sought they left without further interference.
The citizens thus outraged were charged
with furnishing information to the revenue
officers.
The Echols county correspondent of
the Valdosta Times says that on Saturday

door, with its little hand on the yard dog,
when Mrs. Martin, its mother, threw out
something for the animal to eat. The dog,
in its eagerness to catch the morsel, sprang
up and threw the child with such force on the
ground as to cause its death in about two
hours.
Thomasville Enterprise, comment
ing upon the statements of csertain news
papers that Generals Gordon and Colquitt
arc not to blame for the failure of the South
ern Life Insurance Company because they
were really nothing more than general agents
who received a commission upon their servi
ces and had no control over the affairs of the
company, says: “The only trouble arises
from the fact that the people who took out
policies in the company imagined them to
be controlling its affairs as much so as the
President and A r ice-President at Memphis,
which they now find was all a mistake.”
EdF* The delay of the Democratic caucus
in framing a financial measure does not arise
altogether from the difficulty of agreeing
among themselves. It is desired to elabo
rate the best bill possible in all respects—
one on which the Republican Senate cannot
improve, either in substance or appearance.
If the House barely repeals the clause set
ting January, 1879, as the date for resump
tion, the Senate may amend by fixing an
other date, say 1881 or 1883, bridging an
other Presidential election. This might
weaken the force of the Democratic issue, as
the people are not disposed to look so far
ahead.
ijFMames Rowland, of Donaldsonville. in
Abbeville county, S. C., a young man about
twenty years of age, met with a most painful
accident last week, which threatens to take
his life. The facts are as follows: Young
Rowland tried to draw a load out of his shot
gun, but failed, and heating an iron rod nine
inches in length and about three-quarters of
an inch in diameter to a white heat, threw it
into the barrel of his gun and ran. The gun
discharged itself, and the rod entered the
young man's hip, passing almost entirely
through on the other side. The rod was so
hot that it could not be taken from the suffer
ing victim for about five minutes, and only
then by the help of a pair of blacksmith tongs.
Rowland suffered untold agony, and is now
at the point of death.
terrible storm occurred in Indiana

It was first discovered about three miles

about 200 yards w r ide, 400 to 500 high, a yel
low vertical column, whirling and rolling with
frightful velocity and apparently bounding
from place to place. The debris it caused is
not found to have been carried in an} r par
