Georgia Cities and Towns.--
The oensos of Georgia taken in 1870,
under the direction of the Federal au
thorities, has been made public.—
There are only four cities in the State
with over 10,<nw inhabitants, viz:
Savannah, with 28,236; Atlanta, with
Augusta, with 15,389; and Ma
con, with 12,314; Columbus comes
next, with 7,400: then Athens, with
4,231 ; Gridin, with 3,421 ; Amerieus,
with 3,259; Milledgeville, with 2,730;
Rome, with 2,748 ; Brunswick, with
2,348; Cartersville, with 2,232; Alba
ny, with 2,101 ; and LaGrange, with
2,058. The towns with less than 2,000
and more than 1,000 population are:
Nevvnan 1,917; Marietta 1,888; Gal
lon 1,809; Thomasville 1,667; Wash
ington 1,606; Forsyth 1,510; West
Point 1,405; Bain bridge 1,851; Fort
Valley 1,333; and Gainesville 1,0.58.
—Macon Telegraph.
From the above it will be seen that
Cartersville, at time of taking the
census in IK7O, numbered the twelvth
town in tiie State in point of popula
tion, which lias been ever since, and
is still, increasing, and never more
rapidly than at the present. We can
safely estimate it now at what Rome
was then—2,76o. This is tolerable
fair progression for a village of 600
inhabitants to have made since 1866;
especially taking into consideration
the fact that it was reduced to a heap
of debris and ashes, during the war,
by Kherman’s torches, and the sur
rounding country completely devas
tated. Bhe is no city, still.
Atlanta, March 30. —Colonel N. J.
Hammond, Supreme Court Reporter,
has been appointed Attorney General
of the State by the Governor.
The Trustees of the University of
Georgia met here to-day, and organ
ized the Agricultural and Mechanical
College to be connected with the
university, and elected a president
and faculty, in accordance with the
Act of Congress, 1862, donating lands
to the States, Governor Smith has
appropriated the whole of the land
script fund to it. The college goes
into operation in May next.
Gridin, through her press, has fired
an emphatic note of disapproval of
Governor Smith’s action indisposing
of the Agricultural Land Scrip. Grif
fin hoped to get it. She was there
fore interested. 1 lence her disappro
val.
Milledgeville, Marietta, and Dah
lonega were each eager suitors for the
coveted and valuable prize. Self-in
terest and deep disappointment will
prompt the people and press of these
localities to disapproval. This will
be enough to make a lively fusilade
of hostile criticism. — Atlanta Consti

Till: NATIONAL DEMOGMJC CONVENTION.
New York, March 28.—A Wash
ington special to the Herald says
August Belmont, Chairman of the
National Democratic Committee, held
an informal political caucus yesterday
with forty politicians of both Houses
present. The feeling is unmistakable
against calling or locating the con
vention until utter trie vnicimnm
Convention. Coalition then depends
upon the strength they show, and
must not involve a number of Dem
ocratic principles. The caucus advised
that no Democrats participate in the
Cincinnati Convention. The caucus
showed less disposition to indorse
Judge Davis than was expected.
Columbia, March 29.—TheColored
State Convention met to-day, and ap
pointed Secretary of tiie State Cardoza,
State Senator Nash, Lieutenant-Gov
ernor Ransier, Congressman Elliott,
Thomas Frost and W. J. McKinlay,

Convention at New Orleans.

HOOK NOTICE.
HIUT HrMitT. »t.ov»l by Mr*. Westmore
land. ol Atlanta, Georgia.
Induced by the very complimenta
ry notices marie by a portion of the
press of the above work, we took the
book and read it. It cornea under the
denomination of the Sensational, and
while here and there all through the
work there are many just and proper
and moral and religious sentiments,
yet the story itself in all its main fea
tures, and the moral effect which it
is calculated to produce, we think de
cidedly bad. It is simply a love sto
ry —a passionate attachment, if not an
intrigue between a married woman
and her lover, unnatural, inconsist
ent, and revolting, and in our judg
ment making up such a story as is
unworthy the commendations which
have tK-en given it. We have noth
ing to say of the style which is in the
main good, but doubt capitally the
moral effect which such a publication
is calculated to produce. While the
Ijook condemns the actors in the dra
ma presented, and holds their conduct
unendorsed, yet it claims excuses for
the improprieties of the heroine, and
in the close teaches, that a woman
false in heart to the marriage vows
and wifely life, may after a very won
der of devotion to the guilty object of
her passion following him even to the
dungeon and his death, be yet enti
tled to and receive the forgiveness of
an outraged husband, unrepenting of
her crime, though acknowledging her
guilt, lie pardoned of God, and enti
tled to our sympathy.
We learn that it has already reach
ed its 4th Edition, and doubtless will
for a while have a large reading,
more the result of the curiosity of the
public than any particular merit of
the work. It may have a day, but
only a short one in which to live, it
will die soon and be forgotten.
ALUMNI MEETING AT MACON.
We are in receipt of the address of
the Hon. James A. Nisbet before the
alumni at Macon, in the interest of
the University of Georgia. It is, as
was expected, like every production
of this distinguished gentleman, able
and finished, and we regret that it is
not in our power to lay it before our
readers. After a glowing and just :
eulogy upon the character of the
Southern people and her past civili
zation, as evinced by her illustrious
men, Washington, Jefferson, Mar
shall, Madison, and Monroe, and their
pure and glorious administration of
the Government, leaving behind
them a record glorious for all time,
he urges that the best and most prop
er and indispensable mode of perpet
uating this type of civilization is,
“ that we must educate our children
at home,” by building seminaries of
learning, with good and ample en
dowments. This, then, will open the
door for bringing a broad and liberal
education within the reach of all
classes, at the same time insisting
upon “making college education
more practical, extended and cheap,
and thus it will be popularized.”
Another idea, which is becoming
more apparent every year, and upon
which the speaker eloquently insists,
as i ailing loudly for reform, is that
“ our uidversitios as well as our col
leges, are nurseries of children rather
than men,” a fault attributable not
only to parents and guardians, but
also to the curators of the university.
Hot-bed education, be says, under
the idea of getting sons and wards to
work is the rage, but a great mistake,
and urges that these boys he “ put to
work before they are sent to college,
and then when
they will be blessed with constitu
tions and mental vigor to grasp with
appreciative study, the secrets of
science, and the beautiful things of
art.” We “must gather into our
classes more muscle, age and maturi
ty.” Another reform loudly called
for is the expenses at the University ,
which “ being from S6OO to SI,OOO per
year forever seals up the University
against the sons of the masses, con
fining the students to the wealthy
classes of society,” and to the end
that all this may be overcome, and
education be made “free to all, be el
oquently asks that “ public sentiment
be aroused and concentrated that the
Legislature may endorse a system
that will embrace a noble University,
all the colleges that are now or may
hereafter be organized, as also com
mon schools in every county. This
idea he powerfully presses upon his
audience, urging its adoption as full
of blessing to the State, which would
acquire and retain in time the favor
and attachment of the people, the
benefactions of the Legislature, lega
cies from capitalists, and support from
all quarters; and that so far from in
creasing it would soon relieve the
burden of the people, by bringing in
to being the mind and talent of the
State in all the various branches of
art and science. But we cannot fol
low’ the gentleman further in this elo
quent and able address, after calling
attention to the necessity of putting
in the Board of Trustees more of the
Alumni, who, able and attached by
education and old memories and
strong filial love to their Alma Mater,
have in a great measure been over
looked, and others, strangers to the
institution, and who in some instan
ces have proven hostile to it, have
been placed as guardians of her inter
ests; and giving us eloquent exam
ples of distinguished men, who, going
out from the halls of old Franklin
have proven benefactors of the race,
and gained a worthy world-wide re
nown, he concludes this beautiful,
sensible and able address with its be.
ginning thought, that “ Southern civ
ilization must, in its highest type, be
nurtured and perpetuated by educat
ing our children at home.” We can
not too strongly commend this ad
dress of this finished gentleman to the
public.

any court except by consent of the

done so as to affect the rights of the

INSTRUMENTAL MUSIC IN CHURCH
SERVICE.
MESSRS* Editors :—lf any are op
posed to instrumental music in church
service, and want light on the subject,
let them read a very interesting arti
cle in the January number of the
“ Southern Review” on “ The Praise
of God in song.”
The at cicle referred to ia a review’
ofThe Service of Song” by Rev. A.
G. Stacy, and among other things dis
cusses “ Instrumental music in church
service.” As to the lawfulness of in
strumental music in church, the fol
lowing passages of scripture are giv
en : “ And he (Hezekiah, the best of
K»ngs) set the Levites in the house of
the Lord with cymbals, with psalte
ries. and with harps, according to the
eoiDinandiEent of David, and of Gad,
the King’s seer, and Nathaa the
Pi ophet: /or so teas the commandment
of the Lord by his prophets .” (2
Chron., xxix, 25.)
Again: “ When David was old and
feeble of days * * * * four
thousand praised the Lord with their
instruments which I made, said Da
vid, to praise therewith. And David
divided them into courses.”
“ Christ and his Apostles,” says the
P. 3 viewer, “were silent in regard to
musical instruments in the church.
Inasmuch, then, as it was not a typi
cal ceremony that passed aw r ay at the
beginning of the New’ Testament dis
pensation, arid inasmuch as there is
much in the Old Testament in favor
of it, and nothing in the Evangelists
and A {jostles against it, we infer that
it is lawful, Ac.”
As to the expediency of using instru
mental music in church service, it is
almost wonderful that any one know
ing the great pow er of music, and es
pecially instrumental music, should
at all question. And yet it is true
that some very good people have ob
jected to it, Adam Clark among them.
But on the other hand, John Wesley,
a greater man than Adam Clark, was
not opposed to it; and Marlin Lu
ther, a greater man than Clark or
Wesley, was in favor of it, even pas
sionately so. “ The hand of the Lord
came upon Elisha, and heprophysied,
when the minstrels played And we
are also told that “the evil spirit was
driven away from Saul by David’s
harp.” Again, when every burden
is Jc» and down, w’hen the Christian has
crossed over the beautiful river that
flows fast by the throne of God, and
shall join the celestial choir
“ Where the ea'nis of all ages in
harmony meet,”
it is promised not only that “ anew
song shall be put in his mouth,” but
also “ that anew harp shall be put in
b ; s hand.”
Os the divine power of music the
following incident in the life of Lu
ther, is a good example. It was at
that cosmic moment in the world’s
history when Luther was about to set
out for Worms ; at that moment all
the hopes of humanity hung
resolution of one man ; happily for
the world that man was Martin Lu
ther. But even the sublime resolve
of Luther was shaken, and he
was just about to abandon it, when
Melancthon went and brought him
his flute. The music reassured him;
when he laid the flute aside, it was
only to take up his hat and set out
for the great court at Worms. It is
not too much to say that the reforma
tion, and even the church, owes more
to Luther’s flute than to the “ thirty
years war” and all the Thological
works ever written.
BJott »■* ■oimspnao vs
thought I know of nothing more sub
lime than the notes of a great organ,
or better calculated to elevate and en
noble ike heart; who could think a
mean thought in an atmosphere of
sublimity, breathing its very essence ?
Who does not feel at such a moment
that all the Godlike is not dead with
in him, that there is yet a link that
connects him with the Infinite?
Again, and special attention is called
to this, it sometimes happens that
there is but a single individual in a
congregation who is opposed to in
strumental church music ; all admit
that it is lawful, for on this point the
Bible is conclusive, and all but one
are persuaded of its expediency; now
in such ease does it not become this
one to think very seriously before
imposing his will upon the church?
Nay, does it not become necessary to
ask himself if it is not absolutely un
christian to do so ? It is a question of
pure expediency; and in this view of
the case, let him compare the yield
ing spirit of other members with bis
own assumed infallibility, and ask
himself which is the more in accord
ance with the divine teaching of our
Lord. Instrumental music is not to
prevent congregational singing, but
is rather a powerful auxiliary. Again,
the power of music acts directly upon
the spiritual being; and music is the
highest exponent of spiritual feel.ng;
thus far instrumental music is the
highest and most perfect invention of
man for expressing his spiritual emo
tions. It then becomes a question of
no little importance; ought not Dus
highest medium of expression of our
spiritual emotions to be used in the
praises of the Creator ? To be sure all
praise is in the heart; but “ let your
light shine;” this praise must find
expression ; is it not due to the Crea
tor that it find its highest expression,
viz: through instrumental music?

A correspondent of the Savannah
News, writes from Atlanta to that
paper, as follow's:
There is a general disposition on the
part of the volunteer companies in the
State to reorganize their several com
mands. In consequence of this desire,
application was made by Gov. Smith
at Washington for information as to
the action of Congress, and the pioba
bility of procuring arms, Ac. It ap
peal's by a letter received from Gen
eral Young, member of Congress from
this district, that the amount of mon
ey now' to the credit of Georgia is
$21,478 45, and that the Governor can
take up this amount in any kind of
arms and ordinance stores he may de
sire. The arms and stores will be de
livered at Government expense at any
point the Governor may designate.
The price of the several kinds of arms
varies from $9 CO to $24 72 per gun.
It will require some time to procure
the arms and stores, and to distribute
them among the several companies.

THE CREDIT MANIA.
What are the people to do? Can
they prosper with the present credit
system ? These are grave questions
asked simply. Two men out of three
living in the country will, if offered
to them, accept credit for aimed any
thing. They should keep their eyes
open to their own business, or they
will get humbugged nine times out
of ten.
Not more than two years ago, two
men traveling with a wagon through
this country bought a great many
feathers at half price, representing
they would soon return with new
feathers which they would sell at the
same priee to the same parties. They
did not return, consequently shucks
and straw was resorted to for beds.
This were a heavy slam on the
women.
Again, came last year an agent for
a nursery up North, who engaged
over four thousand dollars worth of
fruit trees in this county, on six
months credit. The trees did not ar
rive until the end of six months,
when the money had to go. How
many would he have sold if he had
carried the trees with him and de
manded cash ?
Wagons of the Lightning Rod
Company have traversed the county.
Three-fourths of the dwellings are
now considered safe from danger by
lightning, when if cash had been re
quired, not one in ten would have
been so considered. But the cash has
to come after awhile.
The sewing machine agent, with
his buggy and machine, is traveling
too, requiring only monthly pay
ments. The man with stoves has
his red wagon offering stoves at your
door on twelve months time. He,
like the sewing machine agent, talks
to the woman. She needs them, her
husband has good credit, does not
require money. Yes he does, after
awhile.
Guano, Guano, is the cry. Noth
ing to do but to go to the railroad and
sign your name. Fair terms are of
fered you to pay for it when your
cotton is made. There is a chance
you will make your cotton and there
is a chance you will not. Y r ou are
sure to make enough to pay for the
guano.
My advice to all laborers is, to pay
as you go. If you are not able to pay
cash, you are not able to get credit.
There is a profit made on your credit.
My firm belief is that the present
credit system will bankrupt or will
keep the creditors nose always to the
grindstone.
I could add much to this, but for
bear intruding on your valuable
space. I have cut this now down so
I fear my real ideas will not be pos
sessed as they might. * * *

OBITUARY.
Again has the resistless monster,
with its cold and iron grasp, visited
our community, and found its victim
in our esteemed friend Edward B.
Coalson, who departed this life on
16th, ult. Age 48 years, 1 month and
4 days,
Mr. Coalson came from Brooks
county and settled among us last
July, and fell a victim to catarrh le
ver which proved fatal to his mor
tality. He was highly esteemed and
beloved by all wlio knew him. Tho’
his stay was short among us, it was
long enough to prove his worthiness
as a citizen an and his devoted ness as a
Christian. He was a member of the
day of his death, and we believe died
in the same faith that had char
acterized his life, and while we deep
ly sympathize with his bereaved
widow and orphans, we can comfort
them by these soothing w ords, “ Sor
row not as those that have no hope.”
The very same body that was in
terred in Cartersville Cemetery will
be brought back again in the like
ness of “ His glorious body,” and that
mortality will be clothed with a
blessed immortality and crowned
with crowns of glory and Honor.
Mr. Coalson had not escaped the
scourges of this mortal life. The un
welcome visitor had invaded his
household and borne away two of
his tender ones, a loving son of nine
teen and a sweet little daughter of
two years of age. Thus w r e see he
had felt the chastening rod of our
kind Father, but we hope he w r as
submissive as we all should be, and
we hope the irrecoverable loss of his
family is his eternal gain. He leaves
to mourn their loss, a widow, four
sons, five daughters, who have our
prayers and best washes.
While in the tomb our father l : es,
llis spirit dwells above the sk'es;
tu ret.l.n: of endless day it lives,
And pra- ;es to our God it gives,
Aiorud hii bril'iant tin-one in joy,
Ilis iladv solids and notes emptay,
And in that holv state may we
His f- lends and orphans one day see.

DECISION OF THE SUPREME COURT
IN THE CASE OF HUMPHREYS, DE
LIVERED IN ATLANTA, April 1, 1873.
Joseph M. Humphreys vs. The State.
Murder, lrom Bartow'.
WARNER, C. J.
The defendant was indicted for the
crime of murder and found guilty by
the jury. A motion was made for a
new trial, which w 7 as overruled by
the court, and the defendant except
ed. There was no error in the charge
of the court in relation to the insani
ty of the defendant, according to the
repeated rulings of this Court. In
our judgment, the weight of the evi
dence contained in the record was in
favor of the sanity of the defendant.
Although there may have been an
error in the charge of the court as to
the assault of the deceased upon the
defendant (there being no evidence
of any such assault) still, that error
would not be sufficient to set aside
the verdict, in view of the facts of the
case. The theory of the defendant’s
counsel is, that the defendant was
jealous of his wife, and knowing that
Kitchens was in the house of his
father-in-law, where his wife was
stopping, intended to shoot him.
and, by mistake shot his son, and
was therefore guilty of manslaughter
only; that he acted from a sudden
impulse of passion arising from jeal
ously of his wife. There is no evi
dence of any improper intimacy be
tween Kitchens and defendant’s wile
at any time which would authorize
the defendant to be jealous of him.
The family were all sleeping on the
floor in the only room of the house
(being poor people) when the de
fendant, about daylight, pointed his
gun through the window _ and shot
his son w ho w’as covered with a quilt.
It is true Kitchens was there also,
sleeping on the floor with the rest of
the family of Burgess, six or eight
feet from defendant’s w ife, her father,
mother, and son. being in the same
room. After reviewing the evidence
in tills ease, and the charge of the
court to the jury, our judgment is.
that there is no error in the record
which will authorize this Court to in
terfere and set aside their verdict.
Let the judgment of the court below
be affirmed.
