A curious case recently came
up in Michigan. A devoted Roman
Catholic loaned his church sense mon
ey, which it failed to pay back at the
proper time. Being in straitened
circumstances, and what little proper
ty he had, being about to be sold un
der the Sheriffs hammer in order to
save 1 himself, he sued the Bishop, lor
what the church owed him. For this
he was ex-.communicated. Being
very devout in his religion, he was
frightened exceedingly by this pro
ceeding and immediately withdrew
the suit in order to get reinstated, but
not before the fright had so impaired
his health as to cause his death, not
long afterwards. This case has nat
urally-excited a good deal of interest
as well as indignation, and recently a
bill has passed the Michigan Senate,
which provides tor the punishment by
fine or imprisonment, ot any eootesi
astical authority, who shall exseommu
nicate or discipline any church mem
ber, for suing any church diguitary or
religious society, for claims he may
hold against'them ; The Roman Catli
olics are considerably exercised over
this bill, claiming that it -subjects the
Church to the State.

CARROLLTON, GEORGIA. FRIDAY MORNING, APRIL 4, 1873.
Our Atlanta Letter.
Editor Tbnes. —The United States
District Court is still in session here
and the Court room is crowded daily
with farmers from the mountain coun
ties, charged with various violations
of Infernal Revenue Laws. Not one
of these men look like they have a
dollar to spare, and certainly their
time and labor is required at home at
this season of the year to put their
crops in the ground. Avery large
sprinkling ot Africans, develeped by
the recent amendments into Ameri
can citizens, are also always on hand,
to watch the workings ot this won
derful machine. The Court room is
well fitted up,is large and commodious,
situated in Austell’s new building,
graced by Erskine, ornamented by
Chap Norris, and scented from afar
ofl by all who have delicate oliaotones.
To a reflecting mind the scenes wit
nessed there daily, white men, worthy
the name, tried for frivolous offences
by ilitterate loyal whites and igno
rant negroes, and convicted of course,
are painfully suggestive of the times
in which Emmett and his-compatriots
in green Ireland were tried by trai
tors, sentenced by hireling courts and
executed by a corrupt government, for
loving liberty and Irish nationality,
more than they did the pomp and
splendor of an unwilling and unjust
union with Britain. The decision of
Judge Erskine in overruling the mo
tion to quash the panel Jurors in
the case of the United States vs. James
Gardner was woefully weak and
egregiously wrong. Hon. B. 11. Hill
aud Gen. Gartwell deserve immortality
for their matchless arguments in that
case, to say nothing of other great
deeds in the wlrole ot their well spent
lives. Judge Hopkins has finished
the courts of Clayton and DeKalb
counties with his usual dispatch aud
will take hold ot Fulton next Monday
morning. Here let me suggest he
will meet his match, as the Irishman
said when lightning struck his favo
rite black-gum. Not but that Hop
kins will do this county, but he can’t
do the job in one or two weeks. The
morals of the community does not
improve as might have been antioi
pitted at the -approach ot the time,
when Grand Juries look into the con
duct of their fellow citizens, for -enly
last Saturday night a stabbing affair
occurred here which may result in
death. Banks Crawford cut a Rus
sian named Roxenwig severely, and
the situation of the wounded man is
critical in the extreme.
The weather is beginning to be
delightful. We have no time to
mourn the demise of old winter, and
perhaps the oldest and toeghest one
on record, for we must needs admire
the beauties of the opening of Spring.
Even now the air is vocal with the
songs of birds—the blossoms are be
ginning to adorn the earth, and all
nature is preparing to rouse from win
ters lethargy and walk forth in the
fullness of anew life, ornamented by
a living dress ot beautious verdure.
Faeewell winter ! Long live Spring.
Your correspondent k pleased to
note from the tone of the Press the
increasing business of the S. G. cfe N.
R. R. and hopes its Iron Horse may
soon reach your lively little City.—
Carrollton certainly has one element
of success, in that her people ad
vertise their business.
The repeal of the Usuary laws
seems to be working well as far as the
limited time, the new order of -things
has been in operation will permit us
to judge.
Money is only worth one per cent
a month,now against one and ahalf pri
or to the repeal, and anew bank with
an all paid in capital of one hundred
thousand dollars will go into opera
tion in a few days. The prospects,
for the erection of manufactories does
not brigten materially.
There is considerable agitation of
the question, but the monied men
have not yet taken hold of it, as they
must do before it can succeed, unless
indeed small shares are sold on the
mutual or co-operation plan.
The mania for cotton planting and
the consequent heavy demand for gu
ano does not seem to be abating in
the least. >lt seems to me that a few
sensible fanners in every community
might do a big business by raising
hog and hominy for cotton plauters.
No more now. J. A. A.

Mark Twain’s Account of
“Jim SmHey.”
There was a fellow here by the name
of Jim Smiley, in the whiter of ’49—
or may be it was the Spring of ’so—
don’t recollect exactly ; somehow,
though, what makes me think it was
oue or the other is because I remem
ber the big flume wasn’t finished when
he first came to the camp ; but any
way, be was the curiosest man about
always betting on anything that turn
ed up you ever see, if he could get
anybody to bet on the other side ; and
if he couldn’t he'd change sides. Any
way what suited the other man would
suit him—anyway, just so he’s got a
bet lie was satisfied. But still he was
lucky, uncommon lucky; he almost
always came out winner. He was aK
ways ready and laying for a chance ;
there couldn’t be no solitary tiling
mentioned but that felere’d offer to
but on it, and take any side you please,
as I was just telling you. If there
was a horse race you’d find him flush
j or you’d find him busted at the end
|of it ; if there was a dog fight he’d
bet on it ; if there was a cat fight, he’d
bet on it; if there was a chicken-fight
he’d bet on it ; why, if there was two
birds setting on a fence, he’d bet you
which one would fly first ; or it there
was a camjxmceting, he would be
there reg’lnrto bet on Parson Walker,
which he judged to he the best ex
horter about here—and so he was too,
and a good man If he even saw a
straddle bug start to go anywhere, he
would bet you how long it would take
him to get wherever he was going to,
and if you took him up, he would fol
j low the straddle bug to Mexico but
what he would find out where he was
bound for and how long he was on the
road. Lots of the boys here has seen
that Smiley, and can tell you about
him. Why it never made no differ
ence to him—lie would bet an any
thing—the dangdest teller. Parson
Walker’s wife laid very sick once, tor
a good while and it seemed as if they
warn’t going to save her. But one
morning he came in. and Smiley asked
how she was, and he said she was
considerably better—thank the Lord
for His infinite mercy—and coming
on so smart that, with the blessing of
Providence shed get well yet ; and
Smiley, before he thought, says,
“ Well, I 11 risk two and a half that
she don’t anyway."
This yer Smiley had a mare—the
boys called her the fifteen minute nag,
but that was only in fun, you know,
because of course she was faster than
that—and he used to win money on
that horse for all she was so slow, and
always had the asthma, or die dis
temper, or the consumption, or some
thing of that kind. They used to
give her two or three hundred yards
start, and then pass her under way ;
but always at the fag end of the race
she’d get excited and desperate like,
rami come cavorting and straddling
up, aud scattering her around
limber, and sometimes in the air and
sometimes out to one side among the
fences, and kicking up more dust and
raising more racket with her cough
ing and sneezing and blowing her
nose—and always stretch up at the
stand just about a neck ahead, as near
as you can cipher it down.
And he had a small bull pup, that
to look at him you’d think lie wan t
worth a cent but to set around and
look ornery, aud lay for a chance to
steal s* mething. But as soon as the
money was put up on him he was a
different dog ; his under jaw’d stick
out like the forecstlo of a steamboat,
and his teeth would uncover and
shine savage like the furnaces. And a
dog might tackle him, and bullyrag
him, and bite him, and throw him over
his shoulders two or three times, and
Andrew Jackson-^-which was .the
name of the pup—Andrew Jacksc n
would never let on but what he was
satisfied, and hadn’t nothing else—
and tfie bets being doubled and doub
led on the other side all the time, till
the money was all up ; and then all of
a sudden he would grab the other
dog jest by the j’int of his hind leg,
and freeze to it, not chaw, you under
stand, but only jest grip and hang on
till they throwed up the sponge, it it
was a year. Smiley always come out
winner on that pup, tell he harnessed
a dog once that didn’t have no hind
legs, because they’d been sawed off by
a circular saw, and when the thing
had gone along iar enough, and the
money was all up, and he came to
make a snatch for his pet holt, he saw
in a minute how he’d been imposed on
and the other dog had him in the
door, so to speak, and he ’peared sur
prised, and then he looked sorter dis
couraged like, and didn’t try to win the
and so got shucked out bal. He
gave Smiley a look, as much as to say
his heart was broke, and was his fault,
putting up a dog that hadn’t no hind
legs for him to take hold of, which was
his main dependence in a tight, and
then he limped off a piece, and laid
down and died. It was a good pup,
that Andrew Jackson, and would have
made a name for himself if he’d lived
for the stufl* was in him, and he had
genius ; I know it, because.lie hadn’t
any opportunities to speak of, and it
d».n’t stand to reason that a dog could
make such a fight as he could under
the circumstances if lie hadn’t no tal
ent. It always makes me feel sorry
when I think oi that last fight of hia’n
and the way it turned oat.
Well, this yer Smiley had rat-tar
riers, and chicken cocks, aud all of
them kind of things, till you couldn’t
rest, and you couldn’t fetch nothing
for him to bet on but he'd match you.
He ketched a frog one day and took
him home, and said he cal klated to
edercate him; and so he never done
nothing for three months but sit in
his backyard and learn that frog to
jump. And you bet he did learn him
too. He’d give him a little punch be
hind aud the next uiiuute you’d see
that frog whirling in the air liLe a
doughnut—see hem turn one yammer
set, or maybe a couple, if he got a
good start, and come down flat-footed
and all right like a cat. He got him
up so in the matter of catching flies,
and kept him in practice so constant,
that he’d nail a fly every time as lar
as he could see him. Smiley said all
a frog wanted was education and he
could do most anything; and I be
lieve him. Why, I’ve seen him set
Dan’l Webster down here on this
floor—Dati’l Webster was the name
ot the frog—and sing out “Flies,Dan’l,
flies!” and quicker’n you could wink,
he’d spring straight up, and snake
! a fly oft’n the counter there, flop down
on the floor again as solid as a gob of
mud, and fall to scatchiug the sides of
j his head with his foot as indifferent as
if he hadn t no idea he’d been doing
any more than any other frog might
do. You never see a frog so modest
and straight for’ard as he was, for all
he was so gifted. And when it come
| to a lair and square jumping on a dead
level, he could get over more ground
| at oue straddle than any’ animal you
! ever see. Jumping on a dead level
was his strong suit, you understand;
and when it comes to that Smiley
would ante up money on him as long
as he had a red. Smiley was mon
strous proud of this frog, and well he
might be, tor tellers that had traveled
and been everywhere all said he laid
over any frog they ever saw.
Well, Smiley kept the beast in a
little box, and he used to fetch him
down town and lay tor a bet, One
day a feller—a stranger in the camp,
he was-come across him with his box,
and says:
What might it be that you’ve got
in that box ?
And Smiley savs, sorter indifferent
like.
It might be a parrot, or might be
a canary, may be but it ain’t—its on
ly just a frog.
And the fellow took it, and looked
at it carefully, and turned it around
this way and savs. Hum !so ’tic.—
Well whats he good for 1
Well,Smiley says ease and careless like
he’s good for one thing I should judge
he can out jump any frog in Calaver
as county.
May be you don’t. Smiley says,
May be you understand frogs, and
may be you don’t understand ’em ;
may be you have had experience, and
may be you a’nt only a arnature as it
were. Anyways, I’ve got my opinion
and I’ll risk forty dollars that he can
out jump ary frog in Calaveras coun
ty-
And the feller studied a minute and
then says kinder sad like, “ Well, I’m
only a stranger here, and ain’t got no
frog, but if I had a frog I’d bet with
you.
And then Smiley says, ” Thais all
light—thats all right : if you’ll hold
my box a minute I’ll go and set von
a frog. And so the tellow took "the
box, and put up his forty dollars
along with Smiley’s and sat down to
wait.
So he set there a good while think
ing and thinking to himself, and then
he got the frog out and pried his
mouth open, and took a teaspoon and
filled him pretty near up to the chin
with quail shot and set him on the
door. Smiley he went to the swamp
and slopped around in the mud fora
long time, and finally he ketched a
frog and fetched him in and gave him
to this feller ahd says :
“ Now, if you’re ready, set lvitn
alongside ot Dan’l, with his fore paws
just even with Dan’l, and I’ll give the
word.” Then he says, One—two—
three—-jump ! ” and him and the fel
ler touched up the frogs from behind,
-and the new frog hopped off, but Dan’l
gave a heave and hysted up his shoul
ders ; so—like a Frenchman—but it
wasn’t no use—he couldn’t budge; he
was planted as solid as an anv'l, and
he couldn’t no more stir than if he
was anchored out. Smiley was a
good deal surprised, and he was dis
gusted, too, but he didn’t have no
idea what the matter was, of c< urse.”
The feller to< k the money and starts
ed away ; and when he was going
out of the door, he s rt< r jerked his
thumb over his shoulder this miy.be at
Dan’ I —and says again, very deliberate,
“ M ell, I don’t see no pints about
that frog that’s any better’u any other
frog.”
Smiley he stood scratching his head
and looking down on Dan’l a long
time and at last he says, ‘ I do won
der what in the nation that frog
thmvvd off for. I wonder if there
ain’t something the matter with him,
peers to look mighty baggy, some
how.” And he ketched Dan ]by the
nap ot the neck and lifted him up and
says ; ** Why, blame my cats, if he
don’t weigh five pounds.” and turned
him upside down and he belched oat
a double hand full of shot. And then
he saw how it was, and he was the
maddest man. He set the frog dowu
and took after that feller, but he nevs
er ketched him. And
Here Simon Wheeler heard his
name called from the front yard, and
got up to see what was wanted. And
turning when he moved away he said,
“ Just set where you are, stranger
and rest easy—“ lam going to be
gone a second.”
But the stranger did not think that
the continuation of the history of the
enterprising vagabond, Jim Smiley ,,
would be likely to afford much infor
mation concerning the Rev. Leonidap
W. Smith and so I started away. 5
ggL, Kate Stanton, in her lecture on
“ The Loves of Great Men,” asserts
that planets revolve around the sun
by the influence of love, like a child
revolves about its parent When the
writer was a boy, he used to revolve
around his parents a good deal, and
may have been incited thereto by love
but to an unprejudiced observer it

Trial by Jury—Mixed Ju
ries.
The great author of “ Democracy
in America,” the closest observer and
wisest foreign writer upon our govern
ment, declared that the trial by jury
did more to educate the masses of our
people than all other agencies com
bined. Blackstone, the classic Eng
glish Judge, speaks of it as ti e bul»
; wark of Enblish liberty, and reasons
that Carthage, Rome and Greece
could never have been enslaved if they
had known trial by jury, and upheld
it in wisdom and parity. Il seems
that this bulwark of liberty—this great
savior of nations—is in turn to be de
stroyed by the mightiest of innovators,
Time, and that worst of curses and
teachers, Crime and Ignorance.
In view of the numberless cases of
criminals who have been unwhipped
of justice through the bribery aud
norance of judges and juries, the
Northern people and press are now
seriously discussing the utility of trial
by jury-and its fitness to protect life,
liberty and property. While the
North in threatening to overwhelm a
! system which lias vindicated truth
’ and right, and is hallowed by the wiss
! dorn aud experience of centuries, but
now profaned bv corruption, we have
I Northern Judges who are anxious to
sow seeds of ignorance, death and
corruption into our courts. Seed of
poisonous kind will produce like poi
sonous fruit, and the day is not far
distant when Radical Judges and
Political Fantastics will so defile ev
er) thing sacred in Church and State
as to make them odious and unworthy
of preservation at the hands of wise
and good citizens and patriots.
The ballot box is already a mockery
and a disgrace to civilization, and it
now appears that the jury box is to be
desecrated by the same twin, deform
ed brothel’s—tyranny and ignorance.
The next of Pandora’s curses will be
felt in the cartridge.-box, as in poor
Louisiana under the administration of
| a miserable drunken official, dressed
! in brief authority, and warranted by
the Pi«"sidentand Congress to rob and
murder under color of law.
On Monday last, at Atlanta, Judge
Erskine, of theU. S. Court, delivered
a decision on the challenge to the ar
-1 ray, and motion to quash the panel of
; jurors, made by W. B. Gardner, ot
Henry county, charged with setting
up a still without paying the special
tax required by law. In a written
and elaborate decision, he overruled
the motion to quash and sustained
the jury as first empanelied. Asa le~
i gal curiosity, and not from respect, we
j publish it to-day We would not, if
i we were able, add anything as a reply,
j to the clear, logicical speech of Hon.
B. 11. Hill, published in the Sun yes
terday. We regret that Mr. Hill
should have so mistaken the charac
ter of J udge E. as to say : “ The
question now under discussion is of
no more importance to the defendant
than to the whole country, and I cons
gratulate myself on the opportunity
of presenting my views on it to a
Judge who has the intelligence to
discern, and the courage to declare the
law as it is.
We agree with the Atlanta Herald
in the following sentiments:
There is not a lawyer of any repu
tation .in Georgia who will sustain
this remarkable decision. It is a pro
duction we might have expected
from Judge Bond or Judge Durell,
but something we never looked for
from Judge Erskine. It is an open
ing to the introduction of packed ju
ries in Georgia. It gives Farrow and
Ins gang an opportunity to exhibit
their malignant hatred of respectable
Georgians in a more odious manner
than ever, and we hope for his own
sake that it will not end in giving to
Judge Erskine a notoriety as unpleas
ant as that of Judge Bond, and a
name as infamous as that of Judge
Durell That it will irretrievibly dam
age his reputation as a lawyer, there
is no question. Lucky he will be if
the injury to him ends there.
“Burned Columbia ? ” —This ques
tion is an insult to common intelli
gence and yet to this day it is asked,
and even a book has been issued to
settle the matter. Why not ask who
burned every painted house trom Chat
tanooga to Savannah; from Savannah
to Goldsborough ? The question
would be equally proper. But whilst
these questions are in order why not
ask who was the incarnate fiend who
drove the pregnant women, the help
less babes, the aged, sick and decrep
id citizens of Atlanta forth from their
homes and then set their houses on
tire ?
Hush ! Let the veil of oblivion ob
scure total depravity, let us think there
is no one so low that there is not a
spark of the angel in him, but whoev
er read the savage order or saw the
melancholy procession as it filed out
of Atlanta, or as it came into Gen.
Hood’s lines will ever forgot it, or ever
forgive the inhuman monster, W. TANARUS,
Sherman ? Sherman’s history is yet to
be written and—
A thousand years from now,
demons will read his
Deeds by the blazing light of hell.

Gen. Toombs. — A correspondent of
the Chronicle and Sentinel writes from
Elberton, that during court there last
week a party of ladies came around
among the lawyers, soliciting “contri
butions to build a Presbyterian church
in the town. They called on General
Toombs to give them something, to
which he replied that.he was a Metho
dist himself but he generally gave to
all denominations, and how much did
thev want. Well, General just one
of those bills you have there.’ The
general handed them S2O, with the
request that they should pray for him,
for he thought it would take the pray
mrs ot alf denominations to save him.’’ 1
