Bryant was only saved—being very ill at the time—by being carried out on a matress. Tun Columbus Sun, notes an Instance of fidelity on the part of a former slave, and adds: There is quite an g.d lady who is supported almost en tirely by a former nurse of the family. The col ored woman will suffer from want ol clothes and food even before she will allow her “oldm's tress” the slightest privation. A portion of her 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 of Fort Valley, was arrestrd Friday evening by 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 ” seems to be determined to keep its subjects in hot water, probably tor the purpose ofletticg them know that theirs is a government that will not 6Corn to descend to the meanest act, as the means 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. TIE MOlfiOE ADVERTISE!. 1873 ) CALENDAR. (1873. TERMS: TWO DOLLARS PER ANNUM, IN ADVANCE. 2 tfttf =?!'
