Gwinnatt Herald. lAWKKMEMLLE, GA. m Wi dncsday, Dec. S, ISTA. The-C onticts. One of the questions which is sow vexing the public mind is the prop er disposition* of the convicts who are solving out Their sentences in the chain gang *«»<1 peniUt * tiarv. The lease system has proven a failure in the most in portai.t requisite of a penitentia ry—that of keeping them confined. The convicts have been for two years leased out to hair a d> zen dis fcient partiss, w !i» have not eacr cised that diligence m kt oping them which it w»s their ffutv to do, and large numbers of the worst criminal* have made their escape, either through the negligence of the guards or Ira™ the fact, that the lessees have, in order to make as nnn h money as possible, not kept a sufficient number of mea on duty to guard them. Outside of the question of pun ishing offenders, society has an in terest in the safe keeping of des perate criminals, and the vigilant enforcement of the criminal laws of the State is fruitless, if the persons convicted and sentenced, often at great expense to the counties where the trials are had, are permitted, in a few months, to ga at large with every incentive to commit other crimes. And the men who usually effect an escape are the most des perate characters, who, with long years before them, are willing to take the r isk of being killed for Lite hope of liberty. One of the objects of punishment i«, by its severity, to deter o-tlvers from the commission of like offen ces. And, even with the severe penalties prescribed by law, men are daily found taking the chances in order to gratify revenge or to se cure the property of their neighbors unlawfully. And when evil disposed menfind that,after running thegnunt S»t of the coni tu, if they should be eonvicted, their uliances of escape *ua so good, they will laugh at the terrors of the law. Some plan must be devised to protect the country from lawless men. And, as farming the convict* out lots proven a failure, the ques tion arises, what will be done with them? It is a-question surround ed will: difficulties. A' reinm to Hie old Penitentiary system is objec tionable, from, the fact it was al ways an expense to the State, and the number of able bodied laborers among convicts ought to be self supporting. This is true, and we believe they can be made self-sup porting, an! vet securely guarded. To do this, however, vve believe that either the State should control them, or that they should be worked in a body by one company of lessees. It has been suggested that they be employed by the State in quarrying rock at Stone Mountain; this might he profitable. They have heretofore been mo«t successfully employed in constructing railroads. There is an important road which will have to he built to protect the interest of the State—we refer to the extension of the Macon and Brunswick rail road to Covington, and we have heretofore shown that this read can be constructed at small expense to the State by using the convicts for that purpose. And we know of no better plan to utilize the labor which belongs to the Siate. — • « tm — The cun vans for speaker has b£en for the last two weeks the exciting topic of conversation in Washing' ton. Randall anJ Kerr appear to have the inside track. Wood, of New York, has withdrawn, and Cox has developed but little strength. Hots are freely taken by the friends of each of the prominent candidates. John Morrissey, of New York, is working for Randall and betting on bis success. The Southern mem bers are almost a unit f>r Kerr. Adams, of Mississippi, and Gen. Dubose, of Georgia, are prominent for the clerkship.

Gov. Smith addresses to the peo ple of Georgia a very able letter upon the Bubjeet of cheap transpor tation, and invites the boards of trade, Granges, and agricultural societies to send delegates to a convention ta be held in Chicago on the 13th of this month. The Governor, alter arguing that the want of prosperity in the country is mainly due to inadequate cheap transportation, says: ‘•While upon this point I cannot ; forbear expressing the conviction 1 that most of the troubles of the | Country spring out of efforts to s.— cure legislation in favor of this or j that in crest irrespective of all other interests. Hence the bitter hosiili ;ty which lias somet'ines sprung np The industries of a country are not naturally hostile to each other anv more than are the members of the human body. 'They have each tlieir separate functions to perfoim, Lint in reality they are dependent upon each other not only for prospeiity hut for existence. Instead there fore of fighting, they should meet together in harmony and consult for their mutual good. This is what the convention proposes. We, of the cotton states, have no war to make on ‘.he other industries of the country, our true interests will be found in promoting those interests as far as possible. And to this end we should labor. Is the miner of Georgia desirous of destroy ing the mining interests of the country ? Gan the cotton planter live without the cotton manirfac turer ? Can cither do without lhe farmer? Since all are dependent on each other, is it not the I est pol icy to unite, if possible, in our efforts for advancement and pros perky, and to let those effort* be for the material advancement of all. The object of the proposed con vention is to meet this end, and it is desirable that all the great inter ests of the country should he repre sented in that body. Let the plan ter and the farmer, and tits railroad and the steamboat,and the telegraph, and the manufacturer,all be represent ed. Let them consult together upon these questions which most inti mately effect their respective inter ests. Let their count elings ho for the restoration of public prosperity, and if the same sound, good sense which characterizes the ordinary business transactions of our people be brought to bear on this question, it will do more towards a solution than all the tine spun theories of the present generation.” The appointment of John L. Con*, ly to sample crooked whiskey is not acceptable to the leaders about At lanta, composed of Mills, J. S. Pet erson, Jesse Jaeksou, et ul. They have adopted resolutions expressive of their unqualified disapproval of the Conley family holding all Ilia fat offices. We hope they will root him out, and then keep rooting un til a man will have to be drafted to fftl the place. Suprvim* Court Decisions.

Judgment affirmed, A. G. «fc F. C Foster, for plaintiff in ei rur. Reese Jr R ev*, for defendant. 1 ,unas O. Bowen vs. Mary Bowen. Application for homestead, I rout Jones. Jaeks' n, J. 1 The system of homestead and exemption provided for hy the con siitution is voluntarily, not compul sory; and the laws enacted for the setting apart and valuation thereof should be so construe ! as to har monize with the voluntary character of the constitutional system. 2. Therefore, section 2022 of the Code, w hich enacts that ‘should the husband refu.-e to apply for the aforesaid exemption, his wife or any person acting as tier next friend,may do the same, and it shall be as binding as if done by the husband,’ should not be construed to mean that if the husband not only refuse to apply himself for homestead,, but solemnly object on records as a par ty defendant, to his wile’s doing so that then the application shall be granted and the hotnestcitfi carved out ot his individual property over tbe objection so made by him. 3. No mail’s propelty can be set aside as homestead and exempt':*-n without bis consent, express or im plied; if bis wife, or some one as her next fiiemi, apply and lie fails to i iiernose objection by plea, his as sent will be implied; but if he does interpose objection by plea, the pre sumption is rebutted , and the home stead cannot be set apart out of his property. The distinction is clear between his refusal to apply him self, and his objection to another applying in behalf of his f»mil y; and the st; tu: will be construed to mean that though lie refuse to act, his wife's application will be granted unless lie object by plea; then it will be refu-ed. Judgment reversed The Atlanta Herald charges that the articles which appeared in the Commonwealth, abusive of General Gordon, were written by F. H. Al friend and Col. P. W. Alexander Gov. Smith private Secretary. It is now reported that lion. B. 11. Hill and Gov. Smith have formed a combination. The object is to elect Hill to the Senate, and Smith to be made Governor. The object of this attack upon Gordon was in the interest of this combination, as it is understood that Gordon is using his influence to have Colquitt elect ed Governor. It is further stated that Smith hod been a warm friend of Colquitt until the State Fair at Macon, when there was a personal disagreement between these gentle men, and since that lime Smith lias turned all his batteries loose upon Colquitt. That Atlanta is fruitful of politi cal intrigue, nobody doubts, but yet we must take many of the ‘‘authen tic reports” with many grains of allowance. Tiie State of Louisiana has sued General Lames Lcngtreet for $62,- 000 paid him for militia service. We thiuk the General ought to be allowed to keep the money. A man who bartered away his hard earned reputation and the confidence of his friends for a Militia General’s com 1 mission under the bastard Govern ment of Louisiana ought, at least, to have been well paid. Gov. Smith says that “to make two bladesofgrass grow where only one grew before is of more value to mankind than the founding of an empire,” If this is true, we know of sundry freed men in this county who ought to have a monument erected to them as public benefac tors. They succeeded in growing so much grass by the use of fertilizeis that their cotton crop was lost. In the difficulty between Gen, Bradley Johnson and Gen. imboden at Richmond,each party claims that he chastized the other. AMONG OI K MXITIANGES. T'.e dvvi ’mg house of James I*.

Smith has again respited Brinkley, the wile murderer, lie is now to he hung ou the 31st of March, unless otherwise ordered. There is another squabble in the State Treasury. Alton Angier, Clerk of the foinier Tieasurer, claims that be paid off $21,000 of bonds and tiyfied them over to Jones, but didn’t take a receipt for them. Jones claims that the bonds were I paid off hy him, a d were not in i.tlr'e Trefcsury when he took posses „ sion. The Radicals made a determined effort to carry the city election in Atlanta, on the Ist instant, by put | ting in the field what they called an i independent ticket. 1 hey were {handsomely defeated, the Demo j eratic majority being about 859. The liwinton Southerner says that a negro woman, the wife of a man who was sent last court by Judge Bartlett to the chain gano for shooting another negro, got some one to write to President Grant to release her husband from bondage. The letter was answered, and the President directed his Sec retary to inform her that he had no jurisdiction over the State of Geor gia, and referred her to Gov. Smith. —• m* Fearful Accident —On fast Wednesday evening a terrible acci dent occurred on the Air-Liue rail mad about four miles from the city, by which a young man named Robinson, some 16 or 17 years ol age,was mortally wounded and two mules killed. Robinson is an or phan, ami was living at the old Lewis place owned by Messers. Glover & Cheshire, lie was em ployed hauling wood from the place to Mr. Glover’s wood yard in this city, On Wednesday afternoon he started back with his wagon, and took the road leading by B. F. Walker’s mill. Here he took a load and continued his way home. Just as the wagon and mules got on the railroad track, a short distance be yond the mil!, they were stiuek by the outgoing passenger train which left Atlanta at 4 o’clock. The train passed the crossing with great ra pidity and su uck the ill-fated team with fatal effect. One mule was mashed by the passing train, into a shapeless mass of tlaidi, the other was killed outright, the wagon bad ly manacled, and the edge ot a ear struck Robiuson,throwing him som e distance out into tho roau. The en gine did not leave the truck, but kept steadily on, tearing the bar ness off the bodies of the mules. Robinson was carried to the house ot his brother-in-law, James Peavy and attended by Dr. J. W. May son The doctor considers him in a criti cal condition, as several ribs are I broken.—■ Constitutio n. ___________ _ _______ The Grand Jury of Oobb recoin* j mended no further license for the retail of liquor.

The ondetsigned com mittcee, appointed l>y the Gwinnett County Council, assembled at the SvvTet Wa :er Grange llall, on the 25th of November, 1575, to draw up a set of resolutions in relation to the state of affairs existing in this eouuty, do submit the following rREAMULS AND RESOLUTIONS t Whereas, The farmers of this county,as it general thing, have pur sued a ruinous policy since the war, in that we have failed to raise our own supplies,and have bartered our crops, and (in some cases) our lauds, to raise cotton; going in debt, year after year, and paying an average of 40 per cent, interest on supplies, to run our farms, thinking that we would make ail we wanted in one year: hut, instead of improving our condition,we are getting worse, our lands arc becoming poorer, hands failing Business of all kinds is neglected to worship King Cotton, and then the Monarch fails, both in yield and price, making dupes of his worshipers, so that they are losing all they ever owned. There fore, Be it Resolved , Tbd#the Grangers of this county do put their voice, influence and example, as one man, against the indiscriminate use of fertilizers to raise cotton, to the exclusion of all supply crops. And be it further Resolved , That we do endeavor to suppress the habit of going in debt for tilings that we can do without, thinking they are offered because our eiedit is good. And be it farther Resolved, That we do strive to keep down Hie heavy prices which are caused by the credit system; co-operating and seeking each oiher’s good, rather than out siders'; looking to our own house holds first, then to others. And be it further Resolved , That each Granger in this county do strive, in a spirit of emulation, to be more prompt and more punctual than others at the meetings ( f their Grange, tegular and called, thus encouraging each other, assist ing in all duties, holding their officers in the right esteem, know by doing so we will hold up our order, carry out its noble precepts, benefit humanity, and, above all, glorify Almighty God in His own Image; and he will surely reward us. And be it further Resolved , That we do request the Gwinnett Herald and Georgia Grange to publish these resolutions. (Signed) J II C. McGuire, R. I) Winn, R. .1, McDaniel, II I’.
