FRIDAY AUGUST 4, IS7I.
Mob Law in Georgia.
Under this caption, the Augusta Con*
stitutionalisl of the 23th ult., advances
tome Bound and indispensable truths,
which wo believe meet the views and
will receive the prompt and uncompro
mising co-operation of every community
in Georgia. In fact, so far as the in
stances have reached us, they form but
the reflex sentiraeuts of the great body
of our people—the Pross especially—
only our Augusta contemporary has given
to the subject a greater range in his
charges and specifications’ condemnato
ry of Lynch law in any form, than we have
noticed from other quarters. We regret
that our space this week does not allow
our inserting his article entire. We
purpose however, recurring to it again,
when we may endeavor to ventilate the
subject in some of its more subtle rami
fications—in other words, we shall expa
tiate upon the effects of Lord-deputy
Angelo’s philosophy—
“Thieves for their robbery have authority,
When Judges steal themselves.”—
If President Grant and Gov. Bullock,
who have sworn to execute the laws of
the land—nay more, who in part made
them —will persist in shielding their par
tisan friends by their shameless pardons,
it may not bo matter of surprise if
Judge Lynch’s posse takes now and then
a share of the spoils. May God send us
in His own good time, deliverance from
both extremes.
Hold them to their Contracts.
Upon these words the Telegraph !j
Messenger base the following jus! but
rather iucomplete exhortation to the
gcneiality of hirers living wilhin their
parish—though equally pertinent to all
other localities :
“A citizen informs us that in one day
during tho present week, he had not less
than twelve applications for employment
by freedmen from tho country. With
out exception, they told him they had
come into town to work on tho Pair
Grounds, preferring a dollar a Jay and
rations, to such wages as they were get
ting, or any prospective share in tho
crop of their employers.
Wc trust neither our worthy Mayor or
any private citizen will hire one of these
runaways, unless he produces clean pa
pers with respect to past obligations.
The laws enforcing contracts cannot be
too stringently executed, if we would
preserve anything like organized field
labor in tho country. Let these loafers
be arrested UDder the vagrant act, and
remanded bark to their employers.”
Yes, “hold them to their contracts ” wo
gay—and let there be two bandies to
the jug fairly supported and evenly bal
anced. But we would suggest as our
belief, that the evil complaiued of, does
not always attach solely to tho freedmeu,
nor is the remedy exclusively depend
ent upon the action of “our worthy May
or or any private citizen.” llailroad
Companies and Railroad Contractors do
much to interfere with the integrity and
steadiness of plantation and farm hands.
Nor are such hasty, rushing, "speedily
to be completed” contracts as Fair
Grounds and their like, a whit behiud
with their tempting baits! A dollar a
day and rations furnished gratis —with
the charms of liviug in a city to boot,
make up a dish that Sambo does not re
gard as very disreputable to partake of.
It reminds him of that “1 mule and 40
acres” ,so much spoken of, and which
the Scalawags and Carpet-baggers used
in bogus bribes, for his vote—only he is
not deceived now in those per diem wa
ges offered over and above wliat fanners
and planters can afford to give. “The
tempter or the tempted, who sins most ?”
The great cause for all these clashing
and disorganizing elements in our labor
system, is the want of a regular tariff of
wages and a firm concert of action by all
employers in support of its several and
diversified rates. Those can alone be
established by a general convention to
fix and declare them—which, once done,
wo doubt not a way would soon bo found
to enforce all nocessary observance of
their provisions. The general and or
dinary class of hirers—tho farmers and
planters especially, cannot compete with
Railroads and other monopolies, who can
pay almost any price for labor, and as
surely make up the excess by raising
freight prices and in other extra charges.
Nor will either Mayor or citizens be able
to squelch the faithlessness of freedmen,
unless all the family of Employers pulls
together. We must support the hus
bandman at all hazards, if Railways
or Fair Grounds expect to be of any profit
themselves.
Jefferson Davis. —The New York
Commercial Advertiser, in alluding to the
recent outrageous story published about
Mr. Jefferson Davis, says :
No sensible person credited tbe out
rageous yarn. Mr. Davis’ moral charac
ter is as much above reproach as was
Ctcsar’s wife, and be sacrifices his digni
ty in descending to notice such an ema
nation from a Western editorial slum.
The issssnrftafc
Several newspapers have recently
published an account of the mutual an
gry speeches and violent personal as
sault of Hill upon Yancey, which as ai
led occurred iu the Confederate
States’ Senate during one of its secret
sessions. Asa general rule and matter
of principle, we ate opposed to resusci
tating such things and obtruding them
tresh upon the speculating curiosity of
a public that is ever ready to distort and
maugle the purest actions arid the no
blest characters. If any record of tbe
past is entitled to the protection of the
'dead issue’ mantle, it strikes us that this
little unpleasantness between the gen
tlemen named, should have received tbe
favor—especially as one of the party has
beeu in his grave for many years. But
as it has been fished up for some purpose
or other, and made to assume a decided
ly ex parte phase, we think it due to the
dead as well as the living, that a full
lifedike portraiture be furnished in aid
of truth, justice and history, by some
competent, knowing and mutual friend—
one whose very name and personal affil
iations would ‘nothing extenuate nor set
down ought in malice.’ This course is
additionally imperative because the re
cently published resume of the collision
fails to satisfy, in our bumble judgment,
the full requirements of the friends ot
either side : indeed, it is somewhat puz
zling to decide in whose interest it was
written ; for certainly tbe reputation
hitherto mantained by both Yaucey and
Hill's characters, has not received the
dispassiouate meed to which we havo al
ways regarded them as clearly entitled.
A Nuisance.
Not a single murder case has fallen
under our notice recently, in which the
plea of insanity is not urged with dis
gusting pertinacity by the defense- It
is at present the legal hobby which
every jack-leg lawyer rides ; and unless
some step is taken to prevent further
mnl-practice in the courts, it will be ere
long conclusively demonstrated that no
person iu his right rniud cau commit an
act that is in the least peculiar or ec
centric.
The courts, which seem to have beeu
affected to some extent with the all-pre
vailing epidemic, are weak enough to
tolerate the nuisauce; and thds every
murder that ever was or ever will be
committed, cau he so misrepresented
that there is great danger of the total
abolition of one of the greatest privileges
of civilized society—neck-trc sociables]
It is to bo sincerely hoped that uo
more of this plea-of-insanity foolishness
will be brought up as a stench in the
uostrils of the public. When a murderer
has beeu clearly convicted by the evi
dence, wc say, lot him or her hang by
the neck until dead, whether insane or
not. The world will be better off with
out them in either case.
What, wc ask will become of the law,
if every criminal, for any offeuae what
ever, is allowed to take advantage of
his alleged insanity? Respect for law
and order demands that no su:h pallia
tion be admitted. Public security de
mands, tbat tbe good work of neck
stretebing go ou with even a renewed
impetus, until some at least of the pests
of society arc removed.
There never was a time before when
a free use of hemp was so ranch needed
as now; and some steps must be taken to
let this useful plant continue to sub
serve the end for which it was designed
by a kind providence.
The desire of the Americans to be
constantly meddling with the affairs of
other people receives an additional illus
tration in the new fillibustcriug expedi
tion now preparing to leave Canada and
New York for Cuba. The poor Cubans,
even with the aid of the blood-thirsty
Spaniards, have not been able to secure
for themselves a sufficiently disordered
state of affairs; so a band of out-laws,
we may term them, must leave this
country to assist this deluded people in
cutting their own throats for tbe edifica
tion of the Spanish ministry. These ir
regular expeditions are never productive
of any good to either party, being of little
actual sctvice to tho Cubans, and sub
serving the purpose of embittering tho
minds of the Spanish authorities against
the United States’ Government, which
in no manner sanctions tbe disorderly
conduct of these adventurers.
Tbe indications are that a general In
dian war is on tapis along the Western
frontier. The Comanches, Arapaboes,
Sioux, Oanges, and other inferior tribes
are quite restless, and apparently bent
upon mischief. The United States gov
ernment is making preparations to
defend the borderers from extermination.
The editorial of Mr. Stephens that
appears in the Atlanta Sun of the 28th,
is a masterly and irrefutable argument
against the validity of tho amendments
to tho Constitution. How any tuan in
his right mind can, after a careful peru
sal of tbe terse and logical arguments
advanced, still uphold the new depart
ure, is incomprehensible.
This in reality is nothing else hut the
concentrated essence of Radicalism,
sweetened with a little Democratic su
gar to make it palatable to tho weak
stomachs of those who are at heart tbe
blackest Republicans,but nominally New
Departure Democrats,
iuwu a.i aii umpuiviu uuowi i 1 ? TitL - j
feci tbat Bullock, to save himself from
impeachment, will take anew departure
and become a Democrat. The idea ia
absurdly ridiculous tbat this child of the
Devil, after his infamous career, will
have the supreme impudence to attempt
to join himself to the party that he has
systematically defrauded out of its.
rights, and that be has tried to stigma
tise as a KU Klax Klan, living in a state
of armed insurrection against the best
government the world ever saw.
Nothing is too low, too villainous, too
too disgraceful and too wicked fbr this
black-hearted blot upon the page of hu
manity to attempt; but certainly he has
not the Satanic assurance to writhe his
loathsome form up to the feet of of the
Democracy, and seek admission into tbe
fold. We think he is too well trained
by bis master, whose saying he seems to
advocate: “ ’Tis better to reign iu hell
than serve in Heaven.”
That Same Old Tune.
Already the swelling strains of “the
first new bale of cotton and the first open
bole’’—as localities have favored the
earliest production ot the staple—are
filling the newspapers, to be wafted by
tbe wires to the various marts of the
world! These phrases always sound om
inously fatal in oar ears ; they are like
the unwelcome whispers of the first case
of yellow fever in some devoted city
which, true or falso, are sure to inflict
damage—and it is passing strange how
the pride and vanity of men engaged in
making cotton for their support, can be
turned against their real interests, for
the sake of s fleeting puff of eclat —for it
is not presumable tbat the few dollars
more obtained for it, could have been
the cause of hurrying it into market.
The big price paid is only by way of
ointment to induce an early and general
rush of the crop into speculators bands,
that they may lay their plans to control
its destiny after it is sufficiently ascer
tained what the maximum yield will he.
The "first bale” (so early brought for
ward) is artfully assumed as the indica
tion of a large supply, and the demand
which is controlled by the consumer or
tbe spinners of Europe, plays “fast and
loose” in proportion to the ease with
which the latter manipulate tbe trade.
The producer is the swinging gander
at whose neck all intermediate competi
tors take their “pulls” by turns ; and it
is astonishing why planters will furnish
the very material tbat in the end break
up their hopes. In years gone by, a sim
ilar mania prevailed to show to a news
paper man so many inches of the growing
plant—then the first bloom —then tho
first bole, and finally a whole stalk, enor
mously fruited, as a sample of Mr. So and
So’s largo fields ! Indeed many made
it a point to have their acres interviewed
by auy correspondent and the prospects,
which were of course flattering, publish
ed. Tbe mills of New England, Great
Britain and the Continent, worked these
■‘pickings” to good account, and no
matter what befell the poor planter af
terwards, his number of bags were made
to conform to these “reports”; big
crops were assumed as inevitable, and i
little prices paid accordingly. Yet the
planters still continue to decorate their
teams with the same jingling bells, and
to haul to market tbe “first bale” as if
their all depended upon such an achieve
ment ! We differ with them in toto, and
when we reflect that a few hundred
pounds of cotton can be “forced” like
many garden vegetables a few days or
weeks iu advance of its common and
more natural developments—we wonder
how any pride can be really felt fora
feat so liable to such unprofitable com
petition.
! Mr. C. C. Bowen, the polygamist par
doned by President Grant, has been re
commended to emigrate with his numer
ous wives to Utah, where he can law
fully play husband to them all. The
Salt Lake H'rald indignantly expresses
the hope that he will 6tay away. It does
not want any sneaking fellow like him
round there, passing himself off as a sin
gle man on unsuspecting spinsters. The
Mormons, it says, make their matrimo
nial arrangements openly and above
board, and if they are married already,
say so to the new objects of their affec
tions.— N. Y. Sun.
A New Vocalist. —Recently at the
Plymoth Church, Brooklyn, after the
evening service was over, about five
hundred persons remained to hear Miss
Abbott, a protege of the Brooklyn Gam
aliel. Miss Abbott was brought from
tho West by Miss Kellogg, and was re
ported as having wonderful natural vo
cal powers. She took her stand in front
of the organ np stairs. The first selec
tion was, "I know that my Redeemer
livetb,”'and Miss Abbott astonished her
auditors. After the performance, the
entire audience burst into rapturous ap
plause, which lasted several minutes.
Miss Abbott went from Plymoth church
leaning on Mr. Beecher’s arm.
The Sun in for it.—We are inform
ed that Hon. Charles O. Johnson, of
Spaulding county, has sued the proprie
tors of the Atlanta Sun in tho sum of
$25,000, for defamation of character.
[ True Georgian,
It is a lucky circumstance for editors
tbat they are not as sensitive about per
sonal attacks upon their characters, as
the less favored portion of mankind ; if
they were, wouldn't tbe lawyers think
them a blessing to the Jand !

' « «»«.* ■“ tu«- >Mf •-ifWl'it^iiWluia
af a recent date, adopta with aome mod
ification tba Darwinian theory, think
ing that Mr. Darwin ia ahont oorrect in
bia position that seme representatives of
the human nee are hot a species of mon
key. He giver a tradition to enpport
his view, whieh ia as follem :
“When tho Creator conceived tho idea
of making woman out of Jhe rib of naan,
and in taking it from his left side, there
was wise iotention in the act. Firet,
that abe was to be loved ; second, that'
she was to be guarded from harm, hav
ing been taken from under bis left arm,
to be shielded in tbe hour of danger, and
to be defended by bia strong right band;
third, tbat abe was to be dependent up
on and not independent of him. her true
representative condition, as intended by
tbe all wise Creator.
' When tbe rib was taken from Adam,
so says tradition, tbe Creator laid it aside
while he was cicatrizing tbe wound, when
it was espied by a mischievous monkey
who grabbed and started off with it np
a tree; but being seen by an angel, be
wag panned and caught by the tail, but
as he would not let go the rib, the angel
wruug off his tail, and caused the thiof
to drop it. Both rib and tail were
brought to the Creator, when be pro
ceeded to make the woman from it,jnat
as the trne woman is to-day—modest,
confiding, loving, kind, gentle, depend
ent and unambitious; satisfied ana re
joicing in her peculiar sphere and du
ties ; loving her homo, husband and
children, and only ambitious to reign
qneen of her husband’s heart.
Tbe monkey's tail was ordered to be
thrown over tbe garden fenoe, and being
spied by the devil, who was and is over
on tbe look out for evil doing, and who'
bad been watobing the creation of wo
man out of tbe rib, thought be would
try his cunning band on the tail ; and
sure enough be made a woman, very
much like tbe one in the garden in per
sonal appearance,but very unlike in point
of mind and desires. Like her creator
she is ambitious, daring, restless, pre
sumptive, forward, hard to control, want
ing to make stump speeches, go to Con
gress, and vote, in particular j is very
much like her derivstive sire, ever cut
ting up fantastic tricks before the pub
lic.”
Sueli is said to be the trne undisputed
tradition relative to the creation of
“strong minded women.” It is a fact
undenied to this day, tbat the baboon
has a very poor apology for a tail, and
has never told tbe secret of liib losing it.
It appears very plausible that Mr.
Darwiu conceived tbe first ideas of his
celebrated theory, from a close scrutiny
of the characters o i such women as Cady
Stanton, Susan B. Anthony, Vic Wood
hull and Tcnnie Clafiin. He was too
pious a man to entertain so blasphemous
an idea as aseribing such abortions to
the hand of the Creator; and conse*
quontly, to make science and Religion
harmonize, he bad to conjure us some
other method of accounting for the pres
ence of these female nuisances amoDg
us.
Mr. Darwin is therefore no infidel, as
has been slanderously asserted with re
spect to him. He merely asserted that
God was not the Author of Eve-’ll.
Mrs. Harriet Beecher Stowe, through
the medium of “Uncle Tom’s Cabin,”
perhaps did more to ronse and exaspe
rate the people of the North against the
barbarous slaveholders, than any other
single person. The picture of the suf
ferings and tortures of the poor negroes
in their more than iEvyptian bondage,
was enough to curdle the blood in the
heart of a statue; and instill into the
minds of the holy Puritans tbe belief
that in exterminating the Southern peo
pie they verily were doing God service.
While these sanctimonious Puritans
were weeping tears of blood over tbe
fancied wrongs of the negro, they closed
their eyes to the foot tbat, tbe poorer
classes of their own section, and of Eng
land were really in a more pitiable con
dition. Tbe factory operatives of New
England in particular are to-day in a
more deplorable and helpless Btate of
bondage than the negroes ever were in
tbe South.
In England tbe condition of the serfs
is such tbat some public measures have
become necessary for their relief. The
following is a part of the testimony sub
mitted to the British Parliament by
Lord Shaftsbory, in his effort to have
the children employed in the English
brick yards protected by an extension
of the Factory Acts :
“About 30,000 yoong persons, varying
in age from three and a half to seven
teen, are engaged in toil for fourteen
and sixteen houts a day, carrying on
their beads lumps of clay weighing 40
pounds from the clay heaps to the tables
where tbe bricks are made. Lord Shafts
bury mentioned, among other cases, a
child eight years old who carried 43 lbs.
weight of clay on his bead an average
distance of fifteen miles daily, aud
worked 73 boors a week. One of the
inspectors of factories says tbat a child
ten years old will be required to remove
three and a half tons of clay a distance
of 40 yards daily, traversing 14 miles in
the course of bis or her task. Lord
Shaftsbury described the poor creatures
from personal observation as themselves
almost transformed into lumps of clay,
tottering about half naked under hardens,
and compelled to eater places so hot and
burning that he found it impossible to
stay there. The physical results are
necessarily bad, but the moral atmos
phere of the brick fields is even more ap
paling, men, women and children being
brought down to a point of degradation
and suffering like tbe beasts of tbe field.”
Some clever fellow has invented anew

If Georgia establishes an Agricultural
Collage next fall, so as to get our 300,000
ceres of Congress land, she hu no need
fa build new College houses at Athens,
or anywhere else; the vacant public
buildings (and public land* too) at Mil
ledgeville are all ready, and the sehool
ean open in January. And this is true,
too, of Dahlonega, where the U. S.Mint,
a building about equal to the Governor’s
house at Mitledgeville, has been lately,
given by the United State* to the people
of Dahlonega for an Agricultural School.
The. law ,of Congress giving the land,
(300.000 acres for Georgia) foi bids ex
pressly, that any part of it shall be spent
in building College houses. The State
must build the houses. If the Agricul
tural College should be located at Athens,
new bouses, at great expense would have
to be built, out of the State Treasury.
The old Colleges at Athens would be no
help, for they are already full, and bare
ly sufficient for present uses of the Uni
versity ; and Georgia has debts enough
to pay for Opera House, and new State
House, and new Governor's house in
Atlanta. Let the College be at Mil
ledgeville. BALDWIN.
J. H. Christy, of Athens, Ga., was
examined by the Ku Klux Committee.
He testified in substance that be knew
of no Ku Klux organization in his dis
trict, or any part of the State. In an
swer to the question as to what facili
ties be had of knowing anything about
it, he stated that he had been twice elec
ted to Congress from that district, and
usually attended the courts of Western
Circuit, as well as a portion of those of
the Northern Circuit; and in-response
to a question, he said he believed that
he was personally acquainted with the
people generally. No more crime was
oommitted now than before the war in
bis section of the State. He admitted
there bad been some violations of law
by disguised parties for the purpose of
punishing persons for living togethor in
adultery, fornication, theft, etc., and sta
ted that it was the general opinion in
the community that the people took the
law into their own hands, because so
many criminals had been pardoned.
Another circumstances which gave
rise to the exaggerations in reference to
the so-called Ku Klux wa9 the fact that
mischievous young men, for purposes
of amusement sometimes wrapped them
selves in sheets aud scared the supersti
tious negroes, some of whom affected to
believe they were the ghosts of deceas
ed Coufederate soldiers. These, ne
groes had disguised themselves aud
whipped a white man in Clarke county,
and there bad been but little said about
it. Another party of disguised Degrees
had tried to murder a white man. Han
cock had been convicted and sentenced,
but subsequently pardouded by the Gov
ernor. The witness expressed the opin
ion that Alf, Richardson had not been
attacked on political grounds, and that
no negroes had been intimidated from
voting the Republican ticket, but some
had probably been prevented by threats
from voting the Democratic ticket.
The whole tenor of his testi
mony was to the effect that he believed
there was no regular organization in
Georgia for the purpose of violating the
laws. The examination was long and
tedious, but the above are the leading
fasts elicited.

the unfortunate Persians have been fear

ferings of the people with the one, they
will be increased tenfold now with the
cholera extending and laying waste
whole districts. Since ISI7 we have
had nothing so dreadful to record. It
almost seems as if the cholera was again
about to make its tour of death as it did

The MOORE COTTON GIN.
■ m % - *
ESTABLISHED 1852.
FORMERLY AT DOUBLE WELLS
AXiSO A O-BNUINB PATTERN OP
The Griswold Gin.
THE UNDESIGNED, having resumed the manatactnre of the above Gin propose to make
it what it wa» before the war—“ The favorite of the South.” Our work -stands upon its
merits, and we think this sufficient guarantee. We have secured the services of some of the
beet mechanical talent in the Northern shops, iu addition to some of the best workmen from
tbe hop of the late Samnel Griswold.
In calling the attention of planters to onr Cotton Gins, we desire that they should notice
the improvements that we offer which are substantial as follows :
A PORTABLE ROLL BOX
For obtaining any inclination of the Gin Rib or Grate is used, the object of which is to
improve in the quantity ginned, or lessen the'quantity and improve the quality of lint. Also
to gin damp or wet cotton; to alter the picking or separating the lint from the seed—either
to take more lint off, or less lint from the seed, as circumstances require. We use both the
common Roll Box and a Swinging Front. The latter is arranged to let ont all the seeds and
hulls in a moment, and is very easily managed.
THE GIN BRUSH
We make, cennot be excelled by any hair brush used. The bristles are all drawn by a cord
and the timber is all selected from the best lumber, well seasoned; and every brush is made
perfect fire and rat proof.
CYLINDER AND BRUSH BOXES
Are both oscilliating and plain. Can furnish either, as may be ordered. We line them with
the best babbit metal.
GIN SAWS.
. We make all the saws that we use from the best English Cast Steel, and of any size that
may be desired. We employ, to superintend and muuufacture our saws, one of the best saw
makers in the Sonth; ana onr machinery for the manufacture of Gin-Saws cannot be excelled
COTTON-SEED CRUSHING MILL,
We are aheonly successful manufacturers of this important and useful invention, the Cot
ton Gin, with the Cotton Seed Crushing Mill attached. It will hardly be necessary hereto
allude to the immense saving and economical use of the crushed cottonseed, as a ma
nure. We received a gold medal as a premium, from the Fair of the Cotton Planter’s
Convention, held in Macon, Ga., 1860 for the best Cotton Seed Crushers attached to the Gin
Stand, to crush the seed as fast as it escapes from the Roll. We refer to some of the many
certificates that we have on the subject.
TRIAL OF GINS.
We keep constantly on hand seed cotton, and every Gin is tried before it leaves the shop,
old or new ones.
REPAIRING OLD GINS.
We have a complete assortment of the very best Cotton Gin Machinery in the country, and
make repairing of old Gins a spectality. Planters will do well to send in their old Gins, and
have them made as good as new, at a much less cost than anew Gin can be bought for
Send on your orders aud old Gins earlv.

COTTON PACKING
RENDERED EASY WORK
BY THE USE OF
SMITH’S IMPROVED HAND POWER PRESS.
EVERY PRESS G-TJARANTTEED
TO WORK WELL-
A Southern invention and one of the most complete of the age; pronounced by
the most intelligent planters of Georgia and South Carolina, better adapted for
cotton packing than any Press or Screw iu use; Simple, Durable, and not Liable
to get out of order; haa a great concentration of power, and two hands ean pack
cotton readily, and only four required to paok rapidly and easily.
As an expenment one man packed a bale of cotton weighing 530 lbs., doing
the entire work himself. ° °
