I(a curtain young lawyer is the author of the

During the present spell of bad weather
the Georgia Society for the Prevention of
Cruelty to animals, of Augusta, will not al

The Jews in Germany are having a hard
time of it, and can hope for nothing better in
the future. The Gormans have become ex
cessively intolerant and are urging the gov
ernment to pass laws looking to the expul
sion of the Jews from the country’.
The census returns of all the counties in
Georgia are in, and complete, except ten, and
Jackson county is one of the delinquents.
What is the cause of this ? We thought that
our enumerators had fixed up their returns
long ago, and that everything was in ship
shape. I
Jolly’ has been tried and found guilty of
the murder of Victoria Norris, of DeKalh
county. The jury’, however, recommended
him to the mercy of the Court, and in accord
ance therewith ho will go to the chaiu-gang

hung.
The next session of the North Georgia
Conference will he held in Athens. The
Georgia Baptist Convention will also meet
in that place next year. From the destina

We have seen a letter stating that Gov-
Colquitt had appointed Col. Jasper N. Dor
sey. of Gainesville, as Judge of the new coun
ty Court for Hall county, and our young and
talented friend W. 11. Thompson as Solicitor.
Both of the appointments are first-class, and
will make the court a great benefit to llall
county.
A committee from Tammany Hall an

Wc cannot see why it did not occur to the

The Northern Land Leaguers are consid
ering the propriety of employing lien Butler
to go over to Ireland and defend Mr. Parnell
and the other Leaguers who have been in
dicted by the English government. Old Ben
is a sharp lawyer, and may do some good
over there, but it strikes us that there must
be enough talent over there to look after Mr.
Parnell et al.
The Western Circuit is aa well supplied

The Legislature.
We expect our readers may find some fault
with us for not keeping them hotter posted
as to the workings of the Legislature. We
ha\e no excuse to oifer*. simply because there
was nothing to report. After the elections
were over, the members tried to do some
woi k. but did not finish any of it. A great
many’ bills were introduced in both chambers,
and but few of a general character were
finally’ acted upon and none of great import
ance to the general public. At the adjourn
'd session there will le some big fights on
various measures. The rate of interest will
he one, the lease of the Western & Atlantic
Railroad, the lease of the State convicts and
the Railroad Commission will come up for re
view in some shape. There will he plenty of
work, and important work at that, to engage
tlieir attention.
They, therefore, decided to lay the work
nefore the various committees and then
adjourn until next July, when they will fin
ish up the work now on hand. With this
determination they adjourned last Saturday to
meet uext year. At that time possibly they
will do something that will be of interest to our
readers.
Georgia’s Vote.
Georgians have been somewhat excited for
the last week over the fact that it is possible
that the State will lose its electoral vote.
Tiie trouble comes in this way : The Consti
tution of the United States says that the
members of the Electoral College shall meet
on the first Wednesday in December and cast
the vote of their respective States. The Code
of Georgia requires our electors to meet on
the first Monday in December and cast the
ballot. Now, heretofore there has been no
trouble, but this year the first Wednesday
comes before the first Monday, and the con
sequence is that our electors will not meet
until after the time required by the Constitu
tion of the United States, and it is maintain
ed that in consequence of this the vote of
Georgia will have to be cast out and not
counted. Others think, however, that it will
be allowed to come in, and that this irregu
larity will not invalidate it. In the present
instance it matters but little whether it is
counted or not, as it will not affect the gen
eral result.

The Monroe Advertiser understands that a
reprieve Ims been granted the negro boy',
Clayton llillsman, now in jail at Forsyth for
the noun!* rof Mr. C. G. Hillsman’s three
year-old child. The negro is eleven years
old. It is not known what the next pro
ceeding in his case will be.
On Thursday’ a fatal accident occurred at
Sample's mill, located some eight or ten miles
east of Columbus. One of the hands was en
gaged in cutting down a tree, and when it be
gan to fall lie ran to get out of its way. He
had gone but a short distance when one of the
limbs struck him with great force on the head
and breast, producing death almost instantly.
Mr. Joseph Hand, near Thortonville,
Marion county, has sent the Buena Vista
Argus a curiosity’. It is a hog’s leg which
has the usual cloven hoofs and two smaller
hoofs above. In addition to that a second
leg, just below the knee joint, has grown out
and terminates in a mule's hoof. The second
leg is about the size of a man’s thumb, and
bore a part of the animal’s weight every step
it took.
The Americus Recorder learns that a few
days ago a railroad meeting was held in Buena
Vista, having for its object a road to Geneva
or some convenient point on the Muscogee
Road. The gentleman reporting the matter
says that Mr. Wadley has promised the iron,
stringers and rolling stock if the grading is
completed. The road will necessarily’ be a
broad guage, as the rolling stock of the Cen
tral could not otherwise run over it.
We learn from the Columbus Enquirer that
“on Thursday night Mr. Matthew J. Parker
died from the effects of a gunshot wound in
the right temple, inflicted by himself. He
was insensible from the time he was found,”
having never uttered a word. There were
several reasons assigned by rumor, one of
which was to the effect that he wished to
marry again, but his children being so bit
terly opposed to it, he concluded to remain
single. It is thought this made him commit
the rash act. The intelligence of his death
was received by the neighbors and friends
with sorrow, each re-echoing the sentiments
of the other— ‘ a good man, kind neigh
bor and generous friend has gone.’ ”
Columbus Enquirer : “ Last night a negro
name Randolph, who is as dark as the ace of
spades, was to have been married over the
river in Girard. Eight attendants were en
gaged. all of whom were on hand, and an ele
gant preparation had been ma le for celebra
ting the wedding nuptials. All was jn read
iness. but no bridegroom came when the hour
arrived for the fun to begin. Waiting did
not have the desired result, and the party,
determined not to be disappointed, had their
jollification just the same as though the wed
ding had taken place. The missing groom
sent no apologies, and it is still among the
mysteries why ho did not come to time.”
Gainesville Southron says : On Friday last
two rather rough-looking young men came
into town and offered a pair of fine marcs to
Nick McLendon for $125. He suspected
something wrong, and notified Tom llanie,
who, with John Findley and M. G. Hitt,
arranged themselves to watch the boys. The
latter became uneasy and started to leave the
town, leaving their horses behind. They were
quickly’ overhauled by Tom and his crowd,
however, and were prevailed on to stop and
uirrcnder after Fom had singed one of their
eye brows with a pistol ball. They’ gave their
names as James Tally’ and Robert Roc, of
Pickens county, and said they stole the mares
from Mr. Berry llouk, near Scnoia, Cordon
county. They were lodged in jail, and the
next day’ four gentlemen came and carried
them and the mares away. Wc hated to see
the animals go, they looked so innocent.

THE SUN FOli 1881.
■jTWERYBODY reads The Sun. In the editions
X. J of this newspaper throughout the year to come
everybody will find :
I. All the world’s news, so presented that the
reader will get the greatest amount of information
with the least unprofitable expenditure of time
and eyesight. The Sun long ago discovered the
golden mean between redundant fulness and un
satisfactorv brevity.
H. Much of that sort of news which depends
less upon its recognized importance than upon its
interest to mankind. From morning to morning
The Sun prints a continued story of the lives o?
real men and women, and of their deeds, plans,
loves, hates, and troubles. This story is mjrc
varied and more interesting than any romance that
was ever devised.
111. Good writing in every column, and fresh
ness, originality, accuracy, and decorum in the
treatment of every subject.
IY. Honest comment. Tite Sun's habit is to
speak out fearlessly about men and things.
AL Equal candor in dealing with each political
party, and equal readiness to commend what is
praiseworthy or to rebuke what is blainable in
Democrat or Republican.
A I. Absolute independence of partisan organ
izations, but unwavering loyalty to true Demo
cratic principles. The Sun believes that the
Government which the Constitution gives us is a
good one to keep. Its notion of duty is to resist
to its utmost power the efforts of men in the Re
publican party to set up another form of govern
ment in place of that which exists. The year 1881
and the years immediately following wiil 'probably
decide this supremely important contest. The
Sun believes that the victory will be with the
people as against the Rings for monopoly, the
Rings for plunder, and the Rings for imperial
power.
Our terms are as follows :
For the Daily Sun. a four-page sheet of twenty
eight columns, the price by mail, post paid, is ho
cents a month, or $6.50 a year ; or. including the
Sunday paper, an eight-page sheet of fifty-six col
umns. the price is Go cents a month, or $7.70 a
year, postage paid.
The Sunday edition of Tun Sun is also furnish

The price of the Weekly Sun, eight pages, fifty
six columns, is $1 a year, postage paid. For clubs

THE CONSTITUTION.
NEVER in our history has arcfli&le, first-class
newspaper been so essentially needed by the
Southern people as at present. Never has The
Constitution been as thoroughly equipped and
so fully prepared to furnish such a paper as at
present. Vv ith telegraphic service unequalled by
any Southern paper ; with trained correspondents
in every locality in which its readers are interest
ed ; with a capable editorial staff, a corps of ef
ficient reporters, and the best of “special” con
tributors, The Constitution can promise to its
readers that it will be better than ever before, and
will confirm its position as the leading Southern
newspaper.
While The Constitution will carry the gen
eral news ot the day, and express its opinions
frankly on political topics, it will devote special
attention to the development of Southern re
sources in all legitimate channels or directions.
Every Georgian and every man interested in South
ern enterprise and growth, should read The Con
stitution in one of its editions.
