food even before she will allow her “oldm's

wages are regularly appropriated to this purpose.
Such a woman must be indeed a noble one, no
matter how dark her skin may be, and evinces a
devoteduess of affection such as the world has
rarely seen. We have also been told of a colored
man on one of onr railroads who, as long as he
lived, offered to share his wages with his former
master.
Another Victim —The Telegraph and Mes
senger says that Mr. D. N. Hightower, a cit z n

United Stales Deputy Marshall Fordham, on ttic
c>rge of intimidating voters at the last guberna
torial election. lie gave bond for h;s appearance
next day, to answer before United Slates Com
missioner, Joel R. Griffin. It is stated that war
rants have been issued for other citizens of Fort
Valley upon similar charges.
“ The best Government the world ever saw ”

of wreaking its spite for what it assumes to be an
affront.
Negro Jurors in Atlanta.— ln the United
States District Court, last week, the Hon. B. 11.
Hill, made the point before Judge Erskine, that
the law of Georgia prohibited the empannelliug of
negro jurors. Judge Krskiue determined that it
w:.s lawful. The Atlanta Herald in rev.ewiug the
Judge’s decision says that Judge Erskine was not
ashamed to pretend that one of his reasons for
making this decision was that he wished to im
pose upon the negroes their share of the burdens
o‘ the government. Does he suppose that there
is a single man in Georgia who believes that he is
sincere when he assigns such a reason as this for
tuch an unwarrantable and illegal decision. It
would have been much better for the uptight and
learned judge to have simply stated, that the
“ motion of defendant’s counsel is overruled,”
without attempting to bolster up bis decision with
such weak and ridiculous reasons. Then, if he
had been asked for a reason, he could have simply
replied: “ I am ambitious; 1 waut a circuit judg
ship, and I must sustain the Radical party, or I
will never get it.”
lie has seen Darell sustained at New Orleans,
ami he is anxious to place his name on the same
roll for promotion. We honestly believe that this
is the first Instance on record where a Judge ob
jected to the intelligence and uprightness of his
juries and violated law and decency in dragging
into the jury-box a class of Jurors without either
intelligence or moral worth. Even the Goths
when they conquered Italy allowed a Roman to be
tried by Romans, and the Franks when t*iey over
run France allowed the natives to be tried by na
tives, but Judge Erskine is the first and only
instance of a white Judge in Georgia who lnaiste
on a white man being tried by e negro jury.
Defcutc or Governor smith.
From the Atlanta Herald.]
I write from a standpoint where the influence of
demagogues dons not prevail; where the ceaseless
wailings of political tricksters are not heard;
where the honest yeomanry of the country are
left free to express their likes or dislikes; where
we can view, with an impartial eye, the official
acts of the Executive; hence 1 enter the Jury box
an impartial juror. And allow me to state here,
notwithstanding the free circulation of malice,
faLeboods and misrepresentations of facts, to the
detriment of the Governor, the people ot the wire
grass region are not prepared to believe one word
that has been uttered against him, and are ready
now to support his administration in a great
many counties, without a dissenting voice, the
same as they did a few months ago in elevating
him to the gubernatorial chair. Seeing several
articles written in opposition to the Governor,
I would refer to those of “Publius,” in the Ma
con Telegraph, who asserts that he is a sup
porter of the Governor; but I invoke your guar
diau Angel to protect us from such a friend. He
has invaded the sacred citadel of friendship, under
an assumed garb, which does not require the
spear of Turturiel to pierce to expose him in ali
his hidden deformity. He has fDuntingiy held up
to the public gze what he lia3 pleased to term
“the bill of indictment against the Governor,”
containing divers charges ard allegations, which
have never existed, save in his own mind or that
of some disappointed political jobber, whose only
hope of salvation, politically, rests upon the con
tingency of public servant and rearing his own
fortune upon the ruins which he has made. We,
of this section ol the country, know the Governor
to be the acknowledged standard-bearer of true
Democratic principles. We know that his advent
in office was hailed with joy by the good people of
the State; that his splendid administrative abili
ties inspired the people with the conviction that
a iew era ol prosperity had dawned upon the af
fairs of the State, and that the yoke of oppression
had been lifted from their necks.
We believe the Governor to be the worst abused
mau In the State. That if he had concocted a
plan end executed it, which would eclipse in in
famy the “ Yazoo fraud,” or put in insignificance
the “Credit Mobiller," to defrand the people ef
the State of their legitimate rights, he could not
be more calumniated than he is. Rut from what
source do these calumnies spring ? From the
honest yeomanry of the country, of whom the
Governor is a representative man ? No; but from
a pack and their immoderate friends, of bankrupt
political adventurers, whose life is commotion,
and wi use status is changed by every passing
breeze. We of this section of country would say
to “ Publius,” et id ornue genus, and to those in
whose interest ihey are, that you m ly freight the
air with vile rumors against the Governor as thick
as the leaves of “ Valambrosia's Vale,” that iu the
absence of pioof indubitably, we will pa6S them
heediysbly by. It is an easy task to make allega
tions, but quite a different thing to prove them.
We have come to the conclusion alter reading the
article ot “ Publius” that he was a secret enemy,
not only of the Governor, but also of the Demo
cratic party. His w hole course reminds us of one
who endeavors to creep into the loid of Democra
cy to give vent to his venom. He sets out with
the proposition that he intended to vindicate
Governor Smith. lie spends his force and inge
nuity in detailing the charges against him, but
though a triend lie contents himselt with the ar
raignment. When this is done, and he finds that
be has exposed himself aud that his little game ot
deception is discovered, he abandons his promised
defense and thus expresses himself: “My plan
was pscideation, soothing and uioililying bleeding
wounds, and restoring good feeling and more
amiable tempers The task was difficult aud deli
cate, lest inure harm thau good should result Ireui
it; in the piTscnt state of debate persisted iu by
others, I see no just reason to hope for accom
plishing good.” A perfect abandonment of his
avowed purpose. We will dismiss him, his enmi
ty is discovered, his cl ven foot shewn.
From a careful survey ot the field of controver
sy, 1 fiud that tile Governor has done noth.tig but
exercised his constitutional prerogative in fhe
appointment of men to public office. And this
right he lias exercised wisely, whatever poli
tic aus and disappointed Candidas a may say.
Where is a judicial position w hich is now filled
by one of the appointees ol the Governor, that is
not filled by a man of great moral worth aud film
legal attainments ?
I have no doubt but that the official acts of the
appointees under the present administration will
reflect credit upou the Governor and lue legal
profession, and will favorably compare with offi
cial acts ot the appointees of any prior adiniuis
tration. it' this is so—and I hold that it is, until
the contrary is shewn— I cannot see that the peo
ple have anything fear. And I but express the
unanimous opinion ot the people of this portion
of the State, that with James M. Smith at the
head of this proud old commonwealth, our re
sources will be husbanded, the treasury will be
carefully guarded, and that the interest of the
people will be carefully overlooked; that It will
be his highest aim and ambition to increase the
growth aud prosperity o the State.
“ Wire Grass.”
The Atlanta Herald of Sunday in noticing the
charges made in Judge Reese’s letter against the
Governor, says : As to the first charge we submit
that it is not fair fo distort a high compliment to
Governor Johnson into a premise ; and as to the
second, if Judge Montgomery did use the .lan
guage attributed to him by Senator Reese, let him
state exp licitly what were these expressions which
the Governor so artfully used as to deceive him,
and let the public Judge whether they ought to
have bad such a construction placed upon them.
When Judge Erwin comes out over his own sig
nature and states that he has been deceitfully
dealt with by the Governor, it will be time enough
to take up his ease.
In dttending the Governor against the assaults
of Lie. ti,unit's, we wish it distiuelly uaderstood
that we are not the partisans of Governor Smith,
but have simply desired to let the public know
t tu i ll the clamor that has brou made about his
vaccination and insincerity, has no foundation ex
cept in the euvv and di-appo Ltni nt of those who
found that they could not control him in tee man
agement ot the Executive office. Whenever Gov.
Smith shall bttray roe trust which wa confided in
him by sixty thousand majority of his fellow ci’i
a.ns, or do anything unworthy ot a tiusted son of
Georgia the Herald wilt not hesitate to iet the
public know it; and here w-.- lit this matter rest
Perihelion and Pestilence. —Uu this ques
tion the Science of Health has this to say: •* if
there is anything in astrological etiology, we are
approaehiug oue of the most piestiientiai periods
;n the earth’s history. Since the commencement
o! the Christian Era, the perihelion of the four
great planets of the solar system—Jupiter, Saturn,
Uranus aud Neptune—have not been coincident.
But th'is is about to occur; and, in the language
of Dr. Knapp, who has traced the history of the
greatest epidemics that ever afflicted the human
race to the perihelion of these planets, there will
soon be lively times Jor doctors. The theory is
that when one or more ot the large placets is
nearest to the sun, the temperature aud condition
of our atmosphere are so disturbed as to cause the
injurious vicissitudes of the weather, excessive
cold, terrible rains, prolonged droughts, etc., re
suiting in the destruction of crops and fruit*,
famines in many places, and pestilences among
human beings and domestic animals.
FORSYTH, GEORGIA. TUESDAY MORNING MARCH 25.- 1873.
Usury La\v Repealed.
The last session of the Legislature passed an act
repealing the usury laws. The act repeating this
law leaves the borrower free to obtain money at
any price, but the sum to be paid is not collectable
in the courts unless the amount of interest is ex
pressly stipulated in the written contract. As to
the results of the change, we cannot with cer
tainty predict. We give tie law below, which is
as follows:
“ An Act to repeal the usury laws in this State,
and to fix the rates of interest in eases where the
contracting parties make no contracts in writiug
in reference thereto.
Section 1. Be it enacted by the Senate and
House of Representatives iu General Assembly
met, and it is hereby enacted by the authority of
the same, That from and after the passage of this
act, all laws in this State upon the sut ject of usury
be, and the a’.me are hereby repealed.
Sec'ion 2 And be it further enacted, That the
rate ef interest in this State, when the same is not
agreed npon in writing by the parties, shall be
seven per cent, per annum as heretofore agreed
by law.
Section 3, Whenever the parties to any note,
bill, or other ccutract or evidence of in
debtedness which bears interest, shall agree upon
any other rate of interest, whether the same be
more or less than seven per cent., and shall insert
the amount or rate of interest so agreed upon in
the written contract, the same shall be legal ard
valid to all intents and purposes, and it shall be
the duty of the Courts of this State to enforce such
contracts.
Section 4. And be it lurther enacted, That in
no case shall more than seven per cent, be allowed
nnless the same be provided for in the written
contract.”
The Wrongs or Louisiana.—The people of
this State, believing that their rights as freemen
were at least as secure as any State in the Union,
and that they still possessed, under the Constitu
tion, State sovereignty, at least to the extent of
governing their .internal affairs, resorted to the
ballot box, and eucceded in electing iairly their
own rulers. The defeated party, however, dissat
isfied, applied to a judge petrified by corruption,
by whose unlawful and unwarranted interference
the victors were likely to be stripped of their vic
tory. In this emergency they applied to the
Chief Magistrate of the nation for protection.
But here they were met by indifference, and a
neglect to right their wrongs. At last they ap
pealed to arms. Too weak, however, to withstand
the force of numbers, and pressed by the vindic
tive cruelty of a blood-thirsty despot, they are
left in a pitiful condition. In chronicling their
wrongs the New Orleans Picayune says: The
most mortifying and disheartening indication
which has been given in regard to our troubles is
the apparent insensibility of our Northern breth
ren to the serious results upon every interest
of this once flourishing community, produced by
our present political condition, or ebaos. Your
people are so used to these political trobles in the
South, thi.t whenever the wolf is upon us, you
regard it as a false alarm, or the mere cry of a
defeated and designing party. You were never in
so great a delusion. Come yourselves or send
any intelligent and honest person, and you will
be quickly convinced that this State and ci'y are
rapidly verging towards the abyss of utter ruin
and demoialization, politically, socially and com
mercially. Every interest i9 paralyzed, property
is worthless, rents are not collectable—securities
are valueless, money is hoarded, enterprise is
banished—and industry only needs the means to
fly the country. A prosperous cotton season and
high prices for that product, give the only vitality
to commerce which is visible. As for sugar, an
other of our great staples, but few of the planta
tions can last through another season, without
falling into the hinds of the sheriff or mort
gagees.
There can be no exaggeration of our woeful
condition. And it is a’l due to our politicak
troubles forced upon us aud maintained by the
federal executive, and which have been foisted
upon on people through the most audacious fraud
and usurpation, aud is composed of a majority of
ignorant negroes, controlled by a hand of robbers
aud plunderers, acting upon the boldly pro
claimed purpose of despoiling all the respectable
classes for the enrichment of good Republicans.
Loud Lttton. —Blackwood’s Magazine,tor Feb
ruary, in an able article on the life and character
of this distinguished author, has this to say: “He
worked with a heroic energy when his heart was
in his subject, and never worked negligently. We
have seen him at his own house, when he seemed
to be doing nothing, turn out in a morning a mass
of elaborate letters and manuscript that the most
active man of business could not have cceom
plielied. Those who were associated with him in
the Colonial Office will, we think, fully bear n
out in what we say ol the power and precision ot
his work. In matters of business he was most
satiefa tory. He understood at once what was
meant, and there never was any of the irritatation
that so often arises trom misconception. It was
astonishing to see him during his composition of
some great work descend from the height to
which his imagination had borne h'.m, and deal at
once with complicated transactions, as easily as if
he had been bred and lived as a man of genius
only. In counsel he was singularly wise, and
about the best tnan to advise with that we ever
encountered. There are many persons, and
among others, some of our leading statesmen,
who, we are sure, will confirm this opinion. It
is needless to say of one in his high position that
he was beset with applications for advice and as
sistance. Many of our most eminent men of let
ters have been distinguished for the generosity
with which they would give on such occasions
sympathy and aid; but it is impossible that the
Warm and honest feeling which inspires the wish
to give true held to less gifted or less fortunate
brethren can ever have glowed more unfailingly
in any heart than in Lord Lytton’s. The readers
of these words who know how true this is must
be very numerous.”
Scientific Suggestions. —Many plans for the
cure ot stammering, and many professors of the
art of curing it are in existence, aud it is only just
to say that a great deal of good is effected,though
hi# m y not always be in proportion to the ex
pectaii.-us of the patients. M. Cbervin, of Lyons,
comes forward with anew method of treatment.
The method has been subjected to examination by
a e itnmission ot physicians and pronounced suc
cessful. M. Cbervin uudertakes to cure the
rLimme.tr in twtnty days, the time being divided
iuto three periods. During the first of these ab
solute silence is demanded, that the patient may
lose the habit of catching his breath, etc.; during
the second voweis, consonants and syllables are
pronounced independently under the teacher’s di
rection ; aud during the third, regulation of the
breath, with distinct utterance of sentences, is
attended to. It is said that the most difficult
cases have been cared in the time specified, and
all the cases placed under experiment by the com
missioners turned out successfully. The great
danger is, of course, in eve.y system in which
personal influence goes for so much, as it usually
does in the treatment of nervous complaints, that
the patient should relapse into old habits. M.
Chervin’s system is certainly scientific, inasmuch
as i! places the means of cure in the patient's own
bands, by giving him the power of self control.
If he uses these means and keeps himself is train
leg, there is eo reason why roe habit of speaking
distinctly should not became in time as (fixed as
that of stammering bad been.
“In G-od we Trust.”
lmplora Pare.
The clouds thit stoop from yonder sky,
Discharge their burdens and are tree ;
The streams that '.ake them hasten by.
To find reliel iu lake and sea.
The wildest wind in vales afar,
Sleeps, pilloA'ed on its ruffled wings ;
And song, through many a stormy bar.
Beat iuto sileuce ou the strings 1
And love o’ercomes his yonng unrest,
And first ambition’s flight is o’er;
And doubt is cradled on the breast
Of perfect faith aDd speaks no more.
Onr dreams end passions cease to dare,
Aud homely patience learns her pari;
Fet still some keen, pursuing care
Forbids content to brain and heart.
Toe gift unreached, beyond the hand ;
The tault in all of beauty won ;
The mildew of the harvest laud,
The spots upon lue ilsen sun !
And e‘ill some cheaper service claims
The will that Raj 6 loftier call;
Seme cloud is east on splendid aims,
Oa power achieved on common thrail.
To spoil each beckoning victory,
A thonsaud pigmy hands are thrust;
And, round each height attaiuel, we see
Our ether dim with lower dust.
Ah, could we breathe some peaceful air,
And all save purpose there forget,
Till eager courage learn to bear
The gadfly’s sting, the pebble’s fret!
Let higher goal and harsher way,
To test our virtue, then combiue V
’Tis not tor idle ease we pray,
But freedom for our task divine.
Mail Defects.—The N. Y. Tribune in referring
to the great defects, showing the inconveniences
cf the present postal system, says: Attention has
lately been called to the systems of mail delivery
in our large cities, and the Postmaster General is
reported to contemplate certain important re
forms. For these, when we get them, we shall
be duly thankful. But meanwhile there is some
thing wrong in the management of the railway
mail rory.es which we think might be mended if
Mr. Cresswell would give his mind to it. Here
are two instances of postoffie* inefficiency which
lately fell under our notice. A letter for New
York mailed at Jacksonville, Fla , on the 17th of
February, and transmitted the same day, did not
reach its destination until the 23d, although the
schedule time for passengers between the two
points is only three days. A letter to the same
address was mailed at St. Augustine on the 14th.
The writer started for New York the next day,
•topped four eutire days and nights on the road,
and reached this city, simultaneously with his
letter, on the 22d. The time required for the
journey is three days and a half. Why should it
take twice as long to transmit a letter as to trans
mit a passenger and his baggage ?
The Chronicle and Sentinel notes that a gen
tleman from the country came down to Augusta,
last week with 11,300 in gold, which he bought
in 1866 at $1 50, and kept it buried in the earth
for seven years. He sold it for *1 14}£, losing on
each dollar thirty-five cents. He came to the con
clusion that he had better put his money in ac
tive use, for it was doing him no good in the
ground. If there be any one who is acting thus
foolishly, let Lina do as the above gentleman.
