Senate select committee on the
revision of the law regulating the counting
of the electoral votes, have agreed upon a bill
which will be reported to the joint session of

lengthy, and is intended to remedy the de

tially changing it. The House committee’s
plan has few sanguine friends.

WHO SHALL VOTE?
The inquiry of our esteemed correspond,
ent (-Justice), to be found in another column,
as to who will be allowed to vote in the com
ing election, on the Bth of May, is, indeed,
pertinent at this time. We reply that there
is no express statute upon the subject. But
we have instances of a nature exactly similar
in every election. For example, no qualifi
cation, except as to age and the payment of
taxes, is necessary to entitle a citizen to vote
for an aspirant for legislative honors ; who.
if elected, can impose a tax upon the proper
ty-holder who was opposed to his election.
From this, and many analogous cases, we
feel safe in saying that the genius of both
the Federal and State Constitutions are op
posed to restrictions upon the elective fran
chise. And in this particular election, no
more, restriction will be made that in others.
Whether this is right or wrong, we will not ex
press an opinion. We think there is an ar
gmnent here in favor of bonds. For instance,
suppose you decide to build the Court House
by direct taxation—which decision you make
if you vote down bonds—then you deprive
the voter who only pays pod tax from the priv
ileg of contributing to the building of the
Court House, and the burden will fall alto
gether upon the voter who now owns proper
ty. But suppose you decide to raise the
money by bonds, running for twenty years;
then there is some-probability that the voter
who now pays only poll tax, will acquire or
accumulate some property ; and thus, by the
yearly tax to pay interest and principal, you
will make him contribute his share to the pay*
inent oftliis bonded indebtedness, and thus
equalize the burden of building anew Court
House.
The Reason Why.
We are informed that the inquiry is com
mon as to the reason why the money now in
the county treasury is not used for the pur
pose of building anew Court House.
To this we have only to reply, that the
money reported on hand at last February
Court, was raised for the .current, county ex
penses for 1878, and that it is not a surplus,
as one would suppose.
Further, this money being raised to meet
the current expenses of the count}', it cannot
be appropriated to any other purpose, with
out a direct violation of the law.
So that in no event can it be used for the
purpose of building anew Court House.
Notes by the Wayside.
Kditor Forest News: —When on the
vring, and only here and there a resting
place, one has hut little time for observation,
and less for writing, especially in such a
wav as to be acceptable to a majority of the
readers of the times. Something new and
sensational is generally looked for, and the
writer who fails in these particulars is thrown
to one side, and left upon the shelf to pass
away with the dry rot. or some other linger
ing disease. In this country, where the
track first beaten out by our fathers, is so
implicitly followed by succeeding generations,
but little meets the wayfarer’s eye that is
new, while anything sensational is looted
upon with suspicion, though it may be found
ed in truth.
This old track, however, is every day be
coming broader and broader, and he who
ventures to one side for the purpose of ex
plorin': the long hidden mysteries. that lie
concealed amid the confines of its unexplor
ed surroundings, is gradually losing his vis
ionary character, and instead thereof is es
tablishing one commendable for enterprise
and industry.
This may he seen in some of our school
houses and their teachers, in some of our
churches and their congregations, but more
notably in many of our farmers and their
farms. Notwithstanding the long rains of
winter, and the hard ground incident to the
long drought of early spring, I have good
reason for saying that Jackson county is now
in a better condition, as regards seed time
and harvest, than I ever before saw it at
this season of the year. The fields are
larger, their number is greater, and their
preparation more thorough and complete
than ever before, while the fences which en
close them, and the gates which lead into
them, are superior to'those of former years.
To me This is a long step ; n the right direc
tion, and is a mighty argument for the future
prosperity of our county. For your encour
agement, I will state that several persons
have informed me that arguments made in
the Forest News have been instrumental in
bringing about some of these improvements,
and that for the same reason several com
fortable school houses are likely to take the
place of as many poor and miserable ones
during the coming summer. A single thought
has often effected a revolution, and as long
as sensible men continue to think, revolutions
will continue to be made The suggestion
of a boy who had found that his plow-lines
became too short in a shower of rain, once
launched a ship that a hundred men had
failed to move. He only told them to wet
the ropes—they contracted—the huge vessel
swung clear of every obstacle, and sho easily
glided into her native sea.
Then, to give you the first advancing step
of our people for the good year of 1878, I
have only to refer you to the industrious
and progressive farmers of Jackson county,
who, independent of the self-aggrandizement
of politicians, are moving to develop and
sustain this country by feeding and educa
ting the rising generation, which, in its turn,
will transmit the rich inheritance to those
who may follow' after.
The second forward step taken by our
people is the important fact that a decided
majority of those whom I have recently seen
will vote in favor of a new Court House on
the Bth of May. At first l did not think
that the people would sustain Judge Bell in
his splendid movement, but now I feel certain
that they will. Indeed, can the intelligence
of Jackson county vote down such a meas
ure?—a measure of importance to genera
tions yet unborn, and so very plain and self
evident that all men who would not sutfer
with intense cold in winter, boil down in a
half-breed cremating furnace in summer, run
the risk of being crushed by ten thousand
falling brick, and of being stung by as many
yellow-jackets that sometimes build in its
walls, and apply their stings, toe-nails, and
pinching forceps to any Hnlucky wight that
may be drawn by the strong arm of the law
within the precincts of their snug retreat in
the decaying walls of these “halls of our
fathers.”
No part of this outline is an overdrawn
picture. I have recently heard sensible,
honest, standard men say that if they should
at any future time be called upon as jurymen
in the present Court House, they would
state, under oath, that they feared tp be
under its roof wiien crowded, as it frequent
ly is, during any trial of public importance.
For the effects produced by the extremes of
cold and heat generated between its dreary,
God-forsaken walls, ask any intelligent phy
sician, and he will give you a long list of
fevers and pains that are born and live, and
consume their victims in the heat and cold,
and in the dust and foul air of the crowded
throng. They come unseen, and though
deeply and painfully felt, but little attention
is given to the cause—that which is produced
by a violation of the laws of nature, is false
ly attributed to the natural operation of
these laws themselves.
Nor is the yellow-jacket feature of our
Court House a mere fancy born in the brain
of an idle visionary, as those who have been
touched up by their little sensitive appliances
which th'\v sometimes make to let a fellow
know that they are about, will fully testify.
It is a well known fact that they have hith
erto built their nests in its walls, and within
a few days past I have seen men who have
been stung by t hem while in attendance upon
Court or ot her public duties, and these all
swear that they intend to vote for bonds to
build anew Court House.
I do not mean by this to illustrate or con
vey the idea that in order to get anew house,
it is necessary to turn loose a host of yellow
jackets as all-devouring and potent as the
swarnur of lice, locusts and frogs that once
made* Egypt desolate, and for a time Soften
ed the hard heart of old Pharaoh; for while
Jackson already ranks among the first coun
ties of the State in size, population, and
agricultural importance, her pride, her dig
nity and her intelligence are coming to the
front with such bold and rapid strides, that
he who would be heard needs be only rea
sonable and just.
That Jackson county needs anew Court
House, and that our Ordinary has fallen
upon a reasonable, just, and practicable plan
for building it. seems to me to be beyond
dispute. The amount to be raised for a
sinking fund through each successive year
of the twenty, is so very small that there will
be no perceptible dilference in taxation, and
the burden, if burden there he, wiil be di
vided between this and the coming genera
tion, for whose benefit, in spite of all that
men can do, the house is to he built, and
parents should look upon the matter in the
same light that they do the edneatior. of
their children, or the building of a house in
which they may shelter themselves when the
weight of years press heavily upon them.
The present structure was built something
more than seventy years ago, when the coun
ty contained only twelve hundred inhab
itants. and when the amount of litigation
between them was from fifteen to twenty
times less than now. In the late election
.Jackson county gave Atlanta a majority o‘
1,1188 votes over Milledgeville. and when al!
t hings connected with tiiis fact are taken into
consideration, would it not be unaccountably
strange for the same people to vote down a
new Court House, when they have, so far a*'
I can learn, one of the very poorest in the
State, though able to afford one of the best.
1 hen let all the people turn out on the
Bth of next month, and vote for the bond*-
| necessary to build a house suitable to the
necessities of the times, and somewhat com
mensurate with the vast amount of litigation
that the people thrust upon the Courts in
spite of an% opposition that may be brntight
against them.
Before issuing bonds the Ordinary is l>v
law r compelled to submit the question to the
people; but that officer still retains the pow
er of levying a tax for such public purpose*
as he deems necessary for t lie public wel
tare. Then, in all candor I submit the ques
tion : \\ liich is the best, the plan proposed,
or the levying of a special tax for the build
ing of the new Court House? For the ne
cessity of one in Jackson county is fast be
coming such a well known fact that tis not
likely to be passed I*3' in silence by any one
who may even hereafter fill the high and
responsible position of Judge of the Court of
Ordinary. As to the plea sometimes laid in
that new counties are to he organized, let it.
be borne in mind that Art. XI, Sec. I, Par.
II of the Constitution of the State of Geor
gia is in this plain English, short and to the
point. “No nerv county shall be created.''
I have written this independent of any
man or set of men. I have no personal
ends to secure— l have no briefs to make —no
lawyers to consult—no cause to litigate—no
case to decide—no testimony to give. I rep
resent, what I conceive to be the interests of
the whole people, for whom I would have a
house built that would speak well for the out
growth of their well cultivated farms, and for
their blooming gardens. Rambler.
Important to Planters.
A REVENUE RULLING OF INTEREST TO PLAN
TERS.
The Commissioner of Internal Revenue has
addressed a letter to Mr. E. C. Wade. Col
lector for the Third District of Georgia, re
garding the recent circular addressed to all
collectors on the subject of manufactured to
bacco. In the lette- he says:
“ It has been, and is now held, that a far
mer or planter who simply supplies his em
ployes with what manufactured tobacco they
need for t teir own personal use and for their
special accommodation, and not with a view
to gain a profit to himself. Is not regarded as
engaged in the business of selling manufac
tured tobacco, and would not be required to
pav special taxes for thus supplying his hired
laborers with tobacco.”
This ruling is intended to embrace all
cases where farmers and planters furnish sup
plies of tobacco to tlieir laborers, whether
such laborers are paid a stipulated sum in
cash or its equivalent, by' the year, month,
week, or day. or paid by' receiving a portion
of the crop produced, as per contract, or
where the laborers cultivate a given number
of acres of land at an agreed rent. A far
mer or planter who, solely for the accommo
dation of his laborers or employes, as above
defined, not with a view of gain or profit to
himself, even though he charges a price for
the tobacco in advance of what he pays by
the box sufficient to make himself entirely
whole— i. e., to reimburse himself for such
loss. cost, and expense as he may necessari
ly incur—is not to be liable to pay for the
special tax.— Washington Republican.
A large gold brick was cast at Helena,
Montana, yesterday, from the product of ihe
Penobscot mint, and is valued at over fifty
thousand dollars. The mine is located about
eighteen miles from Silver City, Montana.—
The brick is the product of one hundred and
