But as to its own political principles,
The Tribune is of oouise. lierenfter as here
tofore, the champion of Equal Rights, ir
respective of race, nativity, or color. It
stands Inflexibly by ‘tlife iimen'duients for
(lie fiefnlntiont security, of those rights,
which have been solemnly Incorporated by
the people, in the Constitution of tlie Uni
-ted States. Independent of.political par
ties, It endckvorfi to t'-eat them all with
judicial fairness. It labors to purify th«
administration of government, national,
State and municipal, and whenever those
in authority, whether in national. State, or
municipal affairs, take the had in this
work, it will therein give thorn Its cordial
support. But it can never be the servitor

Now, as always, The Tribune labors with
all its lioait for tne promotion of the great
material interests of the country. The
progress of invention and of labor saving,

The Weekly Tribune, nodr more than

up with the progress of the age in improve
ment and in enterprise. Ii devotes a large
sh oe of its oOlnm’rts to agri.i tjUiire &* the

FOR THE RIGHT—JUSTICE TO ALL.
BAINBRIDGE GA.. JUNE 28th, 1873.
#
Susan B. Antiioity Fined For
Voting 1 —Judge Seltlfrn made a motion
this afternoon in the dtee of ilisa* An
thony for a trial upftu the ground °I
a misdirection oftbe JtjSke a
verdie of guilty with^&Aubrrtitinlfc the
ease to the jury. He
elaborate argument the right of e\ ery per
son charged xvitfi crime tc have the ques
tion of guilt or innoceuce phased upon by
a constitutional jury, and that there Was
; nd power in. this Court to deprive\er of
it. TT;e District-A ttornry replied when
the Co’uH, in a brief-review of the argu
ment of the counsel, denied the motion.
The District Attorney immediately moved
that the Judgment of the Court be pro
nounced upon the defendant The Court
made the usual inquiry of Miss Anthony
if she had anything to say why sentence
should not be pronounced.
Miss Anthony answered an cl said she
had a great ‘many things to say,and declar
ed that in her trial every principle of jus
tice had been violated: that every right
had been denied; that she had had no
trial by her peers; that the court and the
jurors were h r political superiors and not
her peers, and announced her determina
tion to continue her labors untill equali
ty was obtained, and was proceeding to
discuss the question involved in the c ase
when she was iaterupted by the court
with the remark that these questions
could not be reviewed- Miss Anthony re
plied that she Wished‘it fully understood;
that she asked no clemency from the court
that she desired and demauded the full
rigor 67 the laW. Judge Hunt then said
“The judgement of the court is that you
pay a fine of SIOO and the costs of the
piosecttfion.” He immedf£tfy added:
“THefe is no order that you stand com
mitted until the fine is paid;” aud so the
trial is ended. *
A motion for ’new trial-& tdbe made
ifi the case of the Inspectors, to-morrow,
on the ground that Hall, one of the de
fendant, was absent during the t rial.
THE NEW TRADE DOLLAR,
A. device for the new silver trade dol
lar has just been completed at the United
States Mint in Philadelphia, and in a few
weeks the piece, will be ready for delivery.
Several hundred thousand wiM sqon be
manufactured and shipped to San Francis
co for distribution throughout the North-
West and Pacific slope. The eohi is not
as large as the old fiilvot dollar, but its
composition will .be of the saibe. The fol
lowing is :t description of the uew piece:
Upon the obverse side is h female figure
seated cm a bale eT cbiton and extending
the right hand, grasping eu.oliye bripfih,
towards the cq>en sea. In t’b 1 est hand
is a scroll bearing the word -Liberty,“ and
at tlie base of the device appears the mot
to. ”In God we Trust.” The date of the
coinage—lß73’, —is upon the obverse to
gether with a halo of thirteen stars, Ihe
reverse bears the figure of a spread eagle,
with 'tne inscrip'Hoh.” United States of
America,” and the. fiottd C ”E Plan bus
Unuin*’ The weight ana fineness, with
the words” Trade D6llaV,”are also inscri
bed upon the reverse side.
A good deal of laughter has greeted the
following Tetter, which is said to have
been written ia these circumstances: Two
well-known young men had quarreled
about some trifle. Cards had been ex
changed; seconds summoned a duel arrang
ed. At daybreak the morning of the fight,
the challenged principal received this .letter
from the challenged: *Aly Dear Sir arid
Dear Adversary—l Rave two objections to
the duel which over-obligmg friends have
arranged between vis- My first objection
is, lam afraid of hurting you, My second
objection is, I am afraid you will hurt me.
t really can’t see what earth!*
ft would be te put ?: ball inte your ,body
even were Ito lodge it in the most fleshy
part of your back. I could net make fSo
least culiuary use of you after your death,
for you are neither a rabbit nor a turkey,
besides, lam not a cannibal, and do not
feed on human flesh. herefore, theu,
should I kill a man wboiri I can put to no
sort cf use? I'eef is a great deal better,
for; while I am quite sure yours is tender
and delicate, I am afraid it elites that
firmness which takes salt, and I am sure
it would not keep long. As for myseit I
confess I have decided objections to put
ting myself in the path of a daugerouß
projectile, lam downright frightened to
think you might hit me, and I feel pru
dence retires me te keep indoors at the
time appointed by our overobliging friend
for to shoot rou'rpisteT. If you persist in
your whTra of trying your pistols, oblige
me by taking for your mark some object
of nearly niy dimensions — for instance,
the trunk of a tree. You w3I find pienty
pf them in the Buis de BoUiogne. If you
hit it chop me a ifee to h?t nife, kobw. and
I will instaYitly confess that, haif X .stood
in the tree’s place, you would have hit me
too. Accept; my dear sir and dearlyver

JOHN Mclv. dt^.
Some days since we published a circular
which was sent to- *ur office by a member
of tjje bar, signed .John McK. Gunn. in.
he stated that he had been compcll
•ed to pay time thousand dollars to got
'the decision of ”Jue Brown and Kent
McKay,’’ on the homesleac law reversed,
and he thought every creditor who collect
ed any money in consequence ought'to pay
him ai least half of all they should recov
er- He offered to ‘‘go halves" #ith any
lawyer who could so work upoii the sym
pathies of a holder of old debts as to iu
duce him to contribute and to protect the
lawyer, he would send him a receipt in
full of the whole amount so collected, aud
yet allow him to retain halt of it.
This circular struck us as being so su
premely foolish, that we at once pronounc.
ed it a forgery, as we had hitherto enter
tained a better opinion Mr. McK. Gunn’s
sense. Hearing that he was iu the city,
we sent a reporter to interview him, and
to ouv surprise and regret Mr. G acknowl
edges that he is the author of this remark
able circular. Did Mr. McKee Gunn sup
pose that any holder of an old debt, who
would enforce his claim against a poor
debtor, even if it involved tile ruin of his
family, would b‘e willing to divide with
him anything lie might thus recover
Vain hope. We advise Mr, Gunn to
abandon it at, oiice. What has been thg re •
suit of this decision which Mr. McKee
Gti.hu says he obtained at such tremendous
expense hud effort We do not believe it
has benefitted anybody except the Regis
ters in Bankruptcy, aiid the officers of the
United States Courts, and the newspapers
Avkich have published the advertisements
We don’t envy Mr. Gunft his reflections
when he surveys the field aud sees how
many people Be has contributed to make
miserable. We don't think lie will get
much satisfaction ini the way of money, but
we can assure him that he has caused a
vast deal of sorrow it Georgia, more, per
haps, than auy man since Sherman left us.
W e know of, so many cases of hardship
that we really belelve there w ill be an effort
made to get. relief from our next Legisla
ture. Mr. Guiin has secured one thing.
He has secured a fame that will cause his

Old Tike Maxims. —The following
from an old scrap—book We re
produce them to'sKow to {fie present
veneration what cm'aint ideas were
O •,. ' \
promulgated by the teachers of qur
fathers and mothers of the old n
time. - An independent man is one
who bfacks. his own boots, who caU
live without tobacco and whisky#
earns.at least a penny more than he
spends, and who can upon a pinch,
shave himself with brown soap and
cold water without a mirror. A
great man is one who can learn his
children to obey iufh when out of
sight. A hospital man is never
ashamed of hi? dwmer when a friend
drops in to dine with him. A good
wife exhibits her love for her husband
by seeking to promote his welfare,
and by administering to his com for‘3.
A sensible wife loots for her enjoy
ment at home —a silly one, abroad.
A wise gu3 would win a lover by
practicing those virtues which secure
admiration when personal charms
have faded A single girl endeavors
to* recommend herself by the exhibi
tion of a frivolous accomplish mm it,
and by a mawkish sentiment which
has as little to do with a true heart
as has the gaudy dress she wears. A
good girl always respects herself,
and is tlia. sure to be respected by
others.
Detroit has what it calls a .funny
man. An old man named Gregg,
who meads for a living,
was sitting iii his shop refcently,
when a stranger entered and asked
the loan of a doll Ait Gregg'hounded
at the impudence of the request and
the stranger began laughing uproar
iously and shut and bolted the door.
The stranger then took off his cout',
rolled up his sleeves, and stepped up
and seized Gregg by the hail and
lifted him up a foot or so. Gregg at
tempted to call in the police, but
the funny man seized him by the
throat and nearly choked him to
death. ‘‘Why don’t you laiigh ?” said
the stranger, spying which he begird
to ttvig In's nose. A stair rod then
came into freqrisitioh, Gregg belig
constantly requested to laugh. See
ing that his life was in danger he
did l'atigtf, bftt it was hot a hearty
laugh, and accordingly the stranger
began hitting at his feet with a
hatchet. A pair of .shear? was th'n
procured arid the man began ciUtifig
off his hair until Ms victim was left
bald. He-then cut off the mall’s
whiskers and tickled his feet wiih ap
old currycomb, to stab
Gregg if he tirade any alai’rti. Grow
ing tired at last, ihe stranger ea£fd he
guessedjie w-ould go. life' was hoi
in fte>d of My money, lie said, bu|
he liked to meet a man who .could
appreciate furi‘ find he went out.
The feti-penter was alive at last ac
counts,* but the funny man is'still at
large. It is thought that the case
is one of emotional insanity.

The Motjo.cs as Fightlus. - New
York, June 21. Gen Meacham’s re
port of the Modoc fighting, says that
during the war the rnodocs kilVid
and wounded about three soldiers
to every warrior in their force, at no,
time numbering more than and
that during the first three day’s fight
this band not only held out against
troops, armed with every appli
ance of modern warfare, but kept
the passage open for a retreat, which
the warm Spring Indian Scoffs'
could not close. Meachams idea of
the best policy for the future is that
all tribal lines to be abolished, and
the Indians be made eraenable to the
jaws and be placed on the same foot
ing with other murderers.
