SUGGESTION TO'THE LEGISLATURE
We Would respectfully suggest to the
Lcgislcturo how in session, the proprie
ty of passing an Act requiring every
nuih to vote in the precinct in which he
lives. There can be no possible objec
tion, and the advantages are incalcu
lable to the honest voter. ' There is not
the slightest doubt but innumerable
frauds are committed at every election
by allowing men to vote at any precinct
in the county they may desire. The
honest, conscientious voter will be per
fectly willing to vote at his own box
and he who is not so, will be forced to
comply or not vote at all. By passing
such n law, the pujity .of the ballot-
1k>x will be in a great measure preserv
ed. We throw out these views with
the hope that the representatives of the
l>cople will see the propriety of the
move, and adopt this or some other
course to prevent the rascality that
] erpetrated on all such occasions. It
would perhaps be more effectual if
every voter was required to register his
name and .place of abode previous to
the election.

Mr. Stephens’ Speech. — The
House of Representatives was filled to
repletion Mouday night, to hear Mr.
Stephens upon the political questions
of the day. Notwithstanding that
the night was bitter cold, there were
quite prtiumber of ladies at the Capitol.
Mr. Stephens, at 7:30 o’clock, entered
the Hall, eicortcd by Col.. Hoge,
amid rounds of applause. Ascending
the Sjieakeris stand, ho was. again
greeted with deafening applause.
At Stephens opened his
speech ; for. two hours and ten minutes
lie stood before an enraptured audi
ence. As he uttered those pure Jeffer
sonian Democratic sentiments ho has
eo long advocated and defended, the
shouts of endorsement were heard
from hundreds of Democratic lips.
Amt when became to dwell at some
length upon the charge made that he
was notj in mxxtrd with the Democratic
party, .and as he told the members of
thcLcgihlaturo that he was not .only in
perfect accord with the Democracy,
hut that they were elected to their
pieces in the Legislature upon the
very .platform of prindplas drawn at
his instance'at J ‘ Liberty Hall, 1 ' in
1870, the argument Was so pointed, so
convincing, that a yell seamed to come
front the throats of every man in the
H.\A'.-1-Atlanta Sun.'
Editor* North-East Georgian.:
A bill has been introduced in the
Legislature, providing a Committee to
report upon the expediency of reducing
the number of Judicial Circuits. It
very generally believed that the
Committee will report in favor of the
reduction; but as to whether the
Legislature will act on the suggestion
another matter. If the act becomes
law, it is probable that Clarke Coun
ty will be thrown into the Northern
Circuit, (Garnett Andrews, Judge,)
in which event we shall have none of
the present applicants for Judge, none
Solicitor. Andrews holds over
until 1877; Sami Lumpkin is his
Solicitor. There are not a few law-
vors in rite Legislature, and if they
know one thing better than another, it
is that the Superior Court dockets are
now crowded with cases as old as the
war, and as numerous ns the appli
cants for office. In Chatham County,
Wm. Schley, Judge, it will be neces
sary to abolish the docket by resolu
tion or act of General Assembly, that
parties involved in litigation since the
war may have a hearing and jury trial.
In this Circuit, bills of I idictment ere
os thick as the hairs on the head of our
late Judge. The sight of them appalls
the stoutest heart. As to the Civil
docket, we can say as Osborne did of
his health—it is increasing. But no
increase is necessary. T bere is enough
business now to take a fossion of the
Superior Court until the '4th of July.
It matters net whether this state of
affairs has been brought about by
slowness of officials—the fact exists
and stares us in the face, that we arc
behind the time. It is also true, that
this is the state of the case in nearly
every County in Georgia. Judge
Hopkins, in Atlanta, (probably the
speediest and ablest Judge now in the
State,) holds Court near all the time,
and is only able to keep the Criminnl
docket up. Civil business has to be
neglected. Yet, with the knowledge
of all these facts, the Legislator.
seriously considering the proposition
looking to an abolition of eight Circuit
Courts! The plea, as usual, is econo
my ! Is it economy ? Will it reduce
the number of Sheriffs, Jurors or other
officers incident to Courts? It will
give us eight less of Judges at a salary
of twenty-five hundred dollars. In all
probability, the salaries of the remain
ing thirteen will be increased to pay
them for the additional work required
Times for holding Courts will have to
be changed, and all the present system
upset. If change in number is requir
ed, it is certainly for an increase.
There are nearly ono hundred aud fifty
Counties in Georgia, and twenty-one
Judges. Nearly an average of seven
to the Circuit. The Augusta Circuit
comprises Burke, Columbia, McDuffie,
Richmond. Atlanta Circuit has De-
Kalb, Clayton and Friton. In the
Eastern, there are the counties of Bry
an, Bulloch, Chatham, Effingham
Scriven and Liberty. We have ten in
the Western Circuit. In the cities ol
Augusta, Atlanta and Savannah, there
is nearly enough business to keep the
machinery of the Courts ever going.
Up to this time, no bill or act of any
public importance has been introduced
in either House of the Legislature—
unless we except the bfi by George
Hillyer, which provides for a special
holding of the Su]>erior Courts when
ever a murder shall be committed, in
order that the criminal may have a
speedy trial. If they pass the Act
looking to a reduction of the Judicial
Circuits, the members will be entitled
to the contempt into which they are
fast falling. The author of the meas
ure should instruct his clerk, ns did
Dogberry his, “ Write me down an
Ass!” In reply to the argument that
the Judges are not always on the
Bench, it would be well to remember
that soma of the most important duties
are performed at Chambers during
vacation. Injunctions are argued,

Confession ok a Poisoner.—The
confession of Mrs. Sherman, convicted
of poisoning her two children at Der
by, Connecticut, shows that she was
bom iu New Brunswick, N. J., in
1825; was orphaned at an early age;
joined the Methodist church at the age
of seventeen, and married Edward 8.
Struck. Soon after he became a po
liceman dt Yorkville, and being taken
sick, on account of discharge from the
force she poisoned him to get rid of
him after he became crazy. She af
terwards poisoned her two children
so that they should not be a burden to
her. She was not suspected of these
murders. Next she moved to Litch
field, Conn., married one Dennis Hul-
bert, and not liking him as a husband,
poisoned him. She next went to Der
by, and married a man of considerable
property named Sherman, after acting
as his housekeeper some time. They
had two children. These she deter
mined to poison, and did so, though
she did not intend to poison her hus
band. She asserts that he took the
poison (arsenic) by mistake instead
of saleratus, which he was accustomed
to put in his cider before drinking, She
herself was nearly dead once from tak
ing sorao cider iu which he had placed
arsenic, thinking it was saleratus. ^ In
brief, she owns up to poisoning two
husbands and four children, but asserts
she did not poison Sherman, of which
crime she has been convicted.
elected. The following bills were
read the third time.
A bill to extend the provisions of an
act to encourage the manufacture of
cotton and wool to the manufacture of
iron and iron furnaces. The com
mittee recommended favorably, and
the bill was passed.
A bill to provide for the return and
payment of tax on wild land. Com
mittee recommended an amendment,
which was agreed to and the bill
passed.
A bill to repeal the law relating to
fences and stock laws in this State.
The committee recommended ad
versely to its passage.
After debate, participated iu by
Messrs. Brown and Jones, the yeas
and nays were called on the motion to

The bill was lost.
A bill to amend section 4522 of the
Code, in reference to killing hogs and
stock.
Committee reported an amendment
as a substitute, which was agreed to
and the bill was passed.
A bill to alter and amend the second
clause of the thirteenth section of the
fifth article of the thirteenth section of
the fifth article of the Constitution of
this State.
The Judiciary Committee recom
mend that it do not pass.
This bill is iu reference to the draw
ing of jurors, having for its object the
enlargement of the jury system.
Senator Deveaux, colored, in mov
ing to disagree with the report of the
committee, said that the commission
ers were guilty in discriminating against
colored jurors. This was an abridge
ment to the right of the colored people
as citizens of the United States. He
asked no special legislation, but de
manded this as a right.
Mr. Reese, in reply, stated that
these jury commissioners were sworn
officers, and they were not guilty of
discriminating against the colored
people. Because a man was upright
and intelligent, was no reason he should
be placed on the grand jury. Thou
sands of intelligent white men were
left out, not for an invidious causes,
but because there was no necessity for
them, etc.
Yeas and nays were called for and
the vote stood yeas, 39; nays, 4. Re
port was agreed to and the bill was
lost.
A bill to alter and amend second
section, article 2d, of the Constitution

By reference to our advertising col
umns, will be seen the large announce
ment of this enterprising firm, which,
although embraced in few words, is
very emphatic and significant. We
have the pleasure of being personally
acquainted with both members of the
firm, and know them to be men of en
ergy, enterprise, great integrity; and,
of the most genial, hospitable and so
cial disposition. They have one of,
by far, the finest stores in their whole
section, which is stocked to overflowing
with every thing one can call for (ex
cept the three articles enumerated in
their advertisement,) which they sell
equally as low ns can be bought in the
large cities. They keep everything ot
the very best quality, for these gentle
men have too much regard for their
honor as business men to keep an in
ferior article on hand. So whatever
our friends buy from them they may
make sure is of the very best. The
elder Benson is one of the oldest mer
chants of Northeast Georgia, and one
that has not only been honored Aid
respected, but loved by all his custom
ers, who'place every confidence in him.
The Junior Mr. Benson, is quite a
young man, but one of rare intellect,
who, we predict, at no distant day, will
epre-ent his county in the Legisla
tive Halls of Georgia. He- was train
ed from the cradle to all the ingre
dients which constitute true manhood,
as well as a thorough knowledge of
business, and he now reflects honor
upon his parents, aud is an example
worthy to be followed by all the young
men of the present day.
As an evidence of the enterprise of
this firm, we will say to our friends,
that they are now having published,
for the purpose of advertising their
business, the Hartwell Illustrated Neva,
a handsomely gotten up pajier, which
they circulate gratuitously. These
gentlemen informs us that they intend
to have ten thottsvntl copies of their next
edition printed, which they will cir
culate in every house and hamlet in
Northeast Georgia.
We wish this enterprising firm un
bounded success, aud Hike great pleas
ure in recommending it to our patrons.

Peruvian Antiquities.—A valua
ble collection of Peruvian antiquities
has lately been added to the ethnologi
cal section, ot the Berlin Museum. It
consists of a number of mummies, ar
ticles of pottery, and other remains.
Throe of the mummies are completely
clothed, and the fabrics which form
their wrappings will serve to show’ the
state of textile art at a remote period
among the Peruvians. One of the
mummies, that of a woman, bears in
its arms the imago of an infant in clay
This collection also embraces the var
ious objects usually found in ancient
Peruvian sepulchres, such as the food
bag, the drinking cup, and the spindle
and loom—the last named objects be
ing found only in women’s tombs.
These mementoes of extinct American
civilization are very highly prized in
Berlin, as belonging to a department
of ethnology which previously was al
most without a representative in the
Museum.—Scientific Miscellany,
Feb. Galaxy.
