The Heath Penally
We have no statistics from
which the number of capital pun
isbnreuts for each year in this
State can be obtained, and there
fore cannot make an acourate state
men! of the comparative number
of persons who suffer the extreme
penalty of the law, but we have
been a tderably close reader of
the public journals of the State
for ten years, and we are satisfied
that there bss been mors “hang
ings,' as they are generally term
ad, within the last year, than at
any time at least, since the war.
And while a large marjority have
been negroes. because they com
mit more high crimes than the
white people, and generally are
not so lucky in making their es
cape, yet it is evident that there
is a healthy public sentiment that
dsmtndsthal the law be rig.dly
enforced, and as a consequence,
men who slay their fellow man,
must make out a strong legal de
fense, if they expect to get off
with less punishment than is pre
scribed in the old Masonic law.—
I'he Mernwether county case, an
account of which we published
last week, shows that money and
influential friends cannot always
save a criminal from the most ig
uomineous punishment.
The .Supreme Court and present
•lute Executive have thrown in md
diu etatimentality to the wind,
and are enforcing the law with a
rigid severity that will stai tlecrim
trials and give some assurance of
pro ection from the midnight as
sHsein and the desperado, who.
with a pistol stuck in their hip
p ickfats are ready to dy their
hands in llieir neighbors blood on
the slightest provocation.
It is true a lifetime punishment
in the penitentiary is a living
death, but it does not inspire such
terror among the criminal class as
the idea of a sudden exit at the
end of a rope. And yet of the
two, uuder our preseat penitentia
ry system, the capital punishment
it more humane than the life of a
convict who sees no hope for his
long days and years of suffering,
but dea h.
It is worthy of remark in this
connection that the perpetrators
of high crimes in the country dis
tricts of North Georgia, widi her
white popula l ion of sturdy yeo
maury, is no hing like so great as
in the middle and lower sections
of the State. And that the towns
and cities furnish twice as many
criminals in proportion to popula
tion as the rural districts.
Pensions,
Before each geuertl election an
increase of the pension list is pro
posed and generally carried, as
both part ies are satering for the
votes of the soldier element of
the North. Only a few days since
a bill was introduced and preset]
the House by a vote of 166 to 37,
to allow pensions to every soldier
who had served three rnoDth . and
been nouorably discharged. Ami
it is also proposed to give pen
sions to those who deserted the
service. Senator Voorhees, die
gi’sted with the extent to which
this business is being carried, ex
pressed his willingness to vote
for a pension to the old mules and
■etleri.
This money so freely given
a way is the hard earning of a pt O
pie, two thirds of whom are strug
gling for the necessities of life.—
But tbe millions that are accumu
lated annually io the Tret sury,
must be disposed of in some way,
and ambitious politicions expect
o make capitol among their con
stituents by squandering it iijen
sions. *
The fact is, that there is a iarge
element in Congress who are de
temiued that the expense of the
Government shall not be reduced
These men represent a high pro- !
tective tariff coustituency, whose
interest it is to continue the pies
ent protection to their industries.
If the expens s of theGovenaneot
were reduced to a reasonable basis
the annual saving could go k> the
payment of the na ional debt, and
public sentiment would, at uu ear
ly day, demand a reduction iu tbe
ariff. Hence they are willing io
encourage any expense in order
that there may be a pressing de
mand for millions to meet the an
nual expenditure. They argue
that as long as they can keep the
treasury drained, there will lie no
danger of such a re duct ion of the
tariff as to force prices down in
this country to something like
what the same class of goods can
be manufactured iu Europe and
sold here.

The Virginia Independents have
at last threwn off the mark and
announced that they are Republi

them to aouia respect even though
their former treachery deserved
the deep condemnation it received
from the people of the South.
This is a free countrv and men
have the right to entertain wbatev

We cau respect a Republican,
even in the South, if he acts on
his honest convictions. If he is
honestly and conscientiously a Re
publican let him throw nis banner
to 'be breeze and stand by his
faith. We may disagree with
him and condemn bis reasoning
but we respect his manhood and

bold Republican for years, is

Auotber HomociUe la W niton
Our neighboring county of Wal
ton is having an epidemic of crime
It has only been a few months
since a negro was hung for rape,
last Frilay another was hung for
murder, and on Wednesday anoth
er homocide was committed. This
time a son killed hia father.
Willis Guun and his son Jesse
«caiue infatuated with the same
woman, and wanted te many her!
The young man was successful in
hia suit and about two weeks since
he married. As soon aa his fath
er, who had left the county, heard
of the marriage, he wrote his son
that he would kill him on sight.—
He afterwards wrote that he was
drunk at the tiaae of writing the
first letter, and did not intend to
put his threat inte execution.—
The family were uneasy However,
and when the young man's mother
in-law heard that Willis was in
Madison she wrote young Gunn
that he had bettor be prepared.
The old man hurried ox to his
sous house evidently with the in
tention of killing him, As he ap
proached the house the family
were at dinner, but a little girl
saw him approaching the residence
from the rear with a gun, and gave
the alarm. Jesse Gunn got his
pistol and as his father approach
ed the window that wus open, he
fired, the ball missed its mark and
the old man took aim w th a doub i
le-barrel shot gun, but before he !
could lire a bullet from bis sons
pistol entered bis brain and he
fell dead.
The young man surrendered at
once to the Sheriff, he held him
in eu 1 ody until the Coroner could
hold*n n inquest. The general opin
ion i- hat he was perfectly justifi
able, aud be will probably be dis
charged upon a small bond.
The <7unn’s moved to Walton
from Morgan county, and the old
man was regarded as a very quiet,
peacible citizen except when uu
der the influence of liquor. The ,
i bomocide occurred about six miles
east of Monroe.
Xew Orlewne Kapestiea
A bill is now pending before
{ Congress to authorize the Govern
ment to loan the managers of the
exposition oae million dollars, up
on the same terms that two mill
ion dollars were loaned to the Phil
i adelpbia Centennial a few yeais
I since. The impurtauce of this sx
position can hardly be over esti
mated, and th passage of the bill
giving this assistance would be a
grateful act of recogmuei, 0 f j u
importance to the country and es
pecially to the South and West.—
The amount loaned)* to be paid
back by the management before
any dividends are distributed to
the stockholders. As this is not
om> a national, but international
exposition, in which foreign gov

the general government should

While in this country we a r e
having storms and floods that de
stroy life and property, the old
world is not exempt from extraor
! dinary luanjeetations. On the
22ud iust au earthquake caused
consternation in England. The
j following account is telegraped to
; this country :
The first symptoms were deep
and tumbling sounds, prrtentious
■ and awe inspiring. This was
speedily followed by the quaking
and shaking of all buildings.
: Church bells sounded as though ;
swayed by tuiseeD bands; tall obim
, n»y stacks of factories cr*«hed in
ruins to the earth and other lofty
structures were destroyed. The
spire of oneof the largest churches
j in the city, 160 feet in height, fell j
! with an awful crash to the grouud
In one part of the city a fire was
caused by the shock. It is impoe
1 sibls to estima e the amount of i
' damage, but it ia knewn to l>. ]
great. Iu private houses ike great,
est confusion prevailed. Tabl s
■ were overturned, chairs swayed
and nodded and then fell sprawl
ing upon the floor. China amt
glassware in cupboards and side
boards rattled together and were
frequently spattered, while pict
ures and other ornaments upon
the walls were loosened from their
fasteogs and fell to the floor. Peo
ple were terror-stricken. Men.
women and childieu rushed shriek
ing into the streets, where then
agonized cries and pale laces made
a most impressive sceue. At Chel
msford likewise iu Essex, and on
ly about 30 miles from London,
the shock was aho severe, and
people were filled with terror and
dismay. At .Sooth Ead, a water-
I ing place, near the mouth of the
I Thames the earth trembled lor
miles around, and the windows of
mat v dwellings weie broken.
1 Chimneys were da tied to tie
earth, all 1 crockery and glassware
were sinuehod. At Shoeburyueee,
| * few miles beyond South End
the shock was distinctly felt. At
Maldon, 10 miles east of Chelms
j ford, the town hall and private
i houses were swayed several times
The wave passed south to nort i,.
London business houses were per
ceptibly rocked so much so that
employers were affected and rush
ed into the streets. The duration
of the shock at Ipswick is estimat
led at three seconds The ear.h
quake has carried a general feeling
of alarm and insecurity through
out England-
Later advices indicate clearly
that Colchester was the center of
the most serious disturbances by
ttxe earthquake. It is iuipossibfe
as yet to determine the extent < f
the damages. In some street s tiaf
tic has been forbidden for the pres
out ns the buildings have been so
badly shattered they are consider
ed dangerous to life and limb
The side walla of the house near
Colchester were shaken out. In
Louden there were numerous iu
dications of the proximity of the
| earthquake. Telegraph instru
ments were sha'cen, and the sho -k
was distinctly folt in the Cheap
side and Fleet street railway de
pot, and a large mansion were par
tially destroyed at Ipswich.

Cato was sentenced to l>e bung
last November, but his counsel
carried his case to tbe Supreme
court. He will be resenteneed in
September.
Dr. Feltou has declined to ruu
for Congress again. The Doctor
lias made two unsuccessful efforts
to get back in Congress and fail

expected that a mau will continue
