Louisville, Ga: FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER 29,1871. Dueling still Lives. The Augusta Constitutionalist of the 19th inst., details ‘an affair of Honor’ which occurred in that vicinity—but up on South Carolina soil—at Granitevillc, on Sunday morning, S o’clock the 17th, which was put through in the regular, old-fashioned style, almost within eight ot the time-honored fields of glory, where feats of ilk renown are chronicled upon nearly every acre, and, in some of which our brother of the Constitutionalist, if we mistake not, might say ‘part fiui’l We rejoice to see, however, that he has lived to an age when be can advise against the propriety, necessity or usefulness of the practice; and when he can cast his moral feelings together with the dictates of bis maturer reason and experience, against the impulses of the passions which wildly and blindly act in subservience to the rules of a code that impels to precipitancy of action and the most un fortunate results, without recovering any right or subverting any wrong—a mere wager of battle without even the excuse or aid of the superstitious sentiment which once justified its usage. The quaint romance of chivalry—its mytho logical achievements and dariDg, airy nothingness—ought to be played out; and would be if men reflected before de ciding, or would consent to be governed by the general voice rather than the in dividual suggestion. “Reputation—that's man’s idol Set up against Ood, the maker of all laws— Who hath commanded us wc should not kill, And yet we say we must, for reputation! What honest man can either fear his own Or olse, will hurt auother's reputation? Fear to do base, unworthy things is valor: If they be done to us, to suffer them Is talor too.” No one will admit that he seeks to take the lifo of his fellow man under the fiction of honor, that he may thereby evade the law’s penalty for murder ; nor will any one allow that he aimß for the advantage which superior skill or famil arity with the use of weapons not un frequeutly promises; yet he deems a ‘crack’ or a ‘thrnst’ imperative, to bind up his wounded sensibilities or to save from tarnish his proud escutcheon —vis- ions that float in the atmosphere of heated or illy trained minds, and no where else ! lint is success, even under such aspects, inevitable? On the contra ry, is there not as often an adjourned question, or a deeply regretted termina tion which iuflicts its stings aud imbues its perpetrators in the depths of undying remorse ? There is a way to break up Dueling, if the right sort of men would take it in band ; and they who have indulged the habit are the onus to initiate that way. Generally speaking, there is no difficul ty in forming associations to repress evils which deform or disturb the fair proportions of the social system; and of all the monstrous inconsistencies that call for like aid, Dueling demands an effort. Mon will differ, and their pas sions will instigate collisions : but after a few cases have been subjected, by mu tual agreement, to the ordeal of disinter ested interference and amicable settle ment, scarcely any one will deride efforts that shield his honor equally with his rights, or that hold up the wrongs he may hastily have imposed upon another, solely for the purpose of having them honorably Tecanted. If, however, pride or obstinacy contemns both reason and friendly remonstrances, the dernier retort of legal prosecution in the State where the combat takes place, should bo per sistently and firmly substituted. ACourt of Honor is but a Court of Justice, and ofteneßt the justest of the two. The law of extradition should also attach by com ity ; or failing in that, through positive statutory enactments. There is nothing truer than what the old axiom asserts — ‘wherever there is a will there is away.’ How the Swindlers Manage I One Major Hodue, an officer under Grant’s administration, finding all fur ther dodging useless, and a loss of time— confesses to having misappropriated on ly 8450,000 of government money—but says ho had ‘help’ from a banking bouse in New York, that knew the monoy fur nished by him for their joint speculation, was money belonging to the Govern ment. What self-extenuation 1 How thoughtful tbc Major is after the thief baa stolon the horse : But seriously : it . is astonishing and savors of a participa tion in the fraud, why these Government employees are suffered to keep on hand so much idle and unnecessary cash, that they have time and opportunity allowed them to use it for private speculation and as individual capital. Can it be possible, that no regular abd timely I| statements are rendered, properly au dited and certified, to the Heeds of the different Departments, at Washington, and that these defalcations and etubes elements are only brought to light than more is asked for to be similarly made way with-? Bnt we are informed “the Treasury and War Departments are endeavoring to shift the responsi bility for Hodge's defalcation!” while he, honest and unfortunate man, “asks for leniency and begs a small provision for his family.” We pity his wife and children —we sympathise with all hie kindred far and near—but they should ■ever have been so indelicately eseoei ated with his infamy,—albeit beggary is allowed many strings to its bow. Another illustration, how crime is fos tered in our country, may be taken from the recent explosion of the Union Tor pedo Works, near Fulton Btreet, New York, by which mauy lives were tacii ficed and much private and unconnected property destroyed : After the aeeident, every body knew aud all confessed, that the works of the Union Torpedo Com pany “were carried on in direct violation of law!" But somebody made lots of money, and some were handsomely ficed to keep all dark ; and so of hundreds and thousands of illicit operations all over the land—run in defiance of the laws and winked at, yea participated in by the sworn agents of the Government! The Kentucky Agricultural College, Is very flourishing, aud very popular. Its Military department very strict and its farming work, honest and earnest on 205 acres of crop. The course of edu cation is exteusive and noble. Ten Professors conduct eleven departments of learning, besides the Horticultural and Agricultural Schools proper. Her farm and houses, to start with, cost 8100,000, besides all the ready money for outfit aud Professors. The Legisla ture was very liberal and showed their respect for tbc greatest interest of the people, by large ap[ropriatious to set the College on a strong foundation- Kentucky received 330,000 acres of United States laud, and sold it for 49 9-10 cents per acre, making 8164,- 000. Georgia gels but 270,000 acres, and Gov. Brown values it at 75 cents per acre, or 8202,000. The Presbyte rian Church at Milledgcviilo offer to give tho State as much or more than Congress gives: Her Oglethorpe t Col» ] go and fifty acres are worth more than tho United States land, and about as far out of Milledgevillc as the Kentucky Collcdge is out Lexington. A few thou sands of dollars and proper Mechanics could have all repairs, paintiug &c., done up in two months, and ready for the School to opeo, by time the Profes sors can get settled. The State ought to be sure to get this valuable old Col ledge while the Church offers it. The asked is, that the State shall locate at least a part of the Agri cultural College there, or all of it, if the State choose. That would boa good plan, as it is in sight of Milledgeville, and then the State House and Governor’s House would still bo on hand as the seat of Government, aud the Capitol could come right back to Milledgeville. Let the Legislature be wise, accept of the gilt of Oglethorpe College for the Agri cultural and Military College, and hold onjto the old Capitol an dbriug back the seat of Government to Milledgeville. The Germans and France, There are those who thought that one result of the victory of the Germans, in tho recent war, would bo to hasten that general disarmament to which all lovers of peace look forward so anxiously. This idea prompted many to hope for German success. It was said that the Germans were the assaulted nation, that the Ger man armaments bave always been kept up because of the threatening attitude and armaments of France, and that the defeat of the latter power, ridding the world of the perpetual Napoleonic men ace, would bo the signal for the nations to reduce their forces, and establish themselves on a “peace basis.” This re sult has not, unhappily, followed. Ger many, instead of disarming, has been re arming and reorganizing her forces ever since the peace. Never were her can non-forges, her military workshops, so active as they now are. New systems of arms are already being introduced among ho German soldiers ; the Drcyse gun is to be supercoded by a yet moro destruc tive weapon, the Wcrder rifle; a now cannon, eclipsing tho grunting mitrail leuse—tho Krupp, which is said to be capable of beatir.g down a strong for tress at nine miles’ distance—is being constructed. The forges at Essen have been enlarged, and fitted up with new and stupendous machinery. Moreover, the fortresses on tho French and Austri an frontiers arc being rapidly repaired, and new ones erected. The world is not, then, to bo taught that it is secure by German example. It inevitably follows from this warlike activity of the victori ous empire that all other nations must hold themselves in readiness for defence. The vital and material forces of the peo ples must still be exhausted, year by year, in this distressing and burdensome suspense. Already, Frsnee. slowly and with difficulty recuperating, and once more acquiring settled government and the Sway of law, is providing means to defend herself from further invasion, and to again take an important military part in the events of Europe. Neither a con stitution, nor a definite public poliey, nor education, nor a comprehensive finan cial fore most, comes tkif necessity , j£t the ayes of *o ree#t*tru«t a large standing *rtnyt to deviao new methods of organisation and drill, twrepairfort^,and to raise military taxes. General Trochu recommends a regular army of half a million ; General Ladmirault shakos his hoary head, and thinks France cannot be defended with Im§ than eight hun dred thousand regulars, compulsory ser vice of all men of 21 for seven years, aad a mawe of a aniiiioa ; Gambetta and Thiera think the adoption of the Prussian system—a hard, grinding, ty rannical system, after all is said, and one whieh must grievously bttTden the nation saddled with it—absolutely im perative on Franco. If wo look beyond tho two resent belligerents, wc find, a mong the other European States, the same ’’hopeless devotion to increased ar maments, the same martial activity, tho same resolution to stand armed and e quipped for any emergency which may arise. Russia’s military preparations are unflagging aud constant. Austria, Ita- | ly and Turkey, are sinking, year by year, into a deeper slough of debt, aud has tening toward bankruptcy, in order to maintain this incubus of a large stand ing army. England feels the stress of the fashion, and tho war miuister of our British cousins breathes confident pre dictions at publio festivals that, when the expected crisis comes, her majesty’s forces will bo found equal to the occa sion. All of which leads us to renew our self-gratulatioa that we are far dis tant from European squabbles and rival ries, and need neither fear nor bo jealous of the neighbors across our borders. [communicated. | Criminal Court- To the Legislature of Georgia : You are soon to meet. The jails of Georgia are full, and will certaiuly stay Bj, for we have 500,000 free negroes be sides the criminal whites. We must have, not more Courts, but more Sessions ; more work out of our Judges. Nobody wants District Courts ; they are bated byjthe people, and ought to be ; and Bullock’s attempt to organize them as he did, without the advice and consent of the Senate, was itself a high crime, an usurpation, a conspiracy against the State. The people do not want petty Courts, and ignorant tyrants, with near ly boundless power of fine and impris onment. Give ns able Courts, learned in the law of liberty, exalted in moral and personal character, and above suspicion. The Superior Court Judges are enough. Pay them well, and make them hold Court all the time. Two Courts a year, as at present for civil business ; but Quarter Sessions, at least for Criminal business. Somo of our Superior Court Judges now getting 82,500, in gold, hold Court only fourteen weeks or less, out of fifty-two in a year. Make them hold Quarter Sessions, to keep the jails emp ty ; or have a special Criminal Judge, for every Circuit, equal in learning to the civil Judge, and riding the same Circuit quarterly, like English Judges. The first plan is best, and has least pa tronage. Lex. Gen. Wade Hampton on the Situation. The following letter, addressed by Gen. Hampton to the editor of the South ern Home, is published in that paper in its issue of the 19th : Columbia, September 9, 1871. My Dear Sir,— The Southern Home, of the sth instant, containing your edi torial on the policy to be pursued by the Southern States in reference to tho next National Democratic Convention, reach ed me a day or two ago, and along with it the letter in which you were kind enough to ask my opinion on this ques tion. Though I cannot flatter myself that any opinions I may entertain can have the weight yottr partiality would induce you to attach to thorn, I most cheerfully comply with the requost con tained in your letter, because it is only by consultation and discussion among ourselves that we cau hope to act judi ciously and harmoniously. It would perhaps be sufficient to say that I concur fully in the views you have expressed, as to tho impropriety of the South taking any part in the ap proaching Convention ; but, in defer ence to your wishes, I give briefly the reasons which kavo induced this convic tion in my mind. Ist. The Southern Delegates in a Na tional Coovention. could exercise no in fluence in shaping tbc policy, making up the issues, or selecting candidates for the next contest, without seriously injuring the prospect of a Democratic triumph. That this would inevitably be tho case, is proven by the result of the last Dem ocratic Convention, where the very pres ence of Southerners was used to preju dice the action and defeat the candi dates of our party. 2d. If the Southern Delegates could not with propriety exert auy influence in the convention, while their mero at tendance itt it might result in infinite mischief to the Demcratic party, it is surely the part of wisdom to refrain from participating in the deliberations of the Convention. 3d. The Northern Democracy will have to bear the burthen of tho fight In the next Presidential contest, and it is only right that they should choose the field and select the standard-bearers. These, in brief, are the reasons, in con junction with those you have already so ably advanced, that have convinced mo that our true policy is to abstain alto gether from all participation in tho next National Democratic Convention. Os couri£, in pursuing this policy, we should take care to have our conduct and mo tives fully understood by our Northern friends, We should say to them, that we ImtiMtdwUf by the dvsire to f»o --raote the success of Democratic princi that all the didates selected, the Democracy of the South can ratify -the action of the Na tional Convention, aud they can use ev ery effort to secure the success of the p-rfy; for op its success depends the existence of the Southern States. If our people concur iu this policy, arrengamnatg should be atode in each State to carry it out fully and effectual ly. Should they not concur, we must, in any event, act in perfect accord, and with entire harmony. Too much is at stake for us to differ among ourselves, and I for one am wil ling to yield my own opinions for the success of any plan which will tend to save the South from ruiu. I am very respectfully aud truly yours, Wade Hampton. To General D. H. Hill. Widespi cad Ravages of the Cholera in Russia. —New York, September 16. — A correspondent writing from Berlin, August 31, says that the most melan choly intelligence comes from Russia con cerning the progrees of the cholera id that country. The disease does not seem to have exhausted its virulence much, though in some places there was a slight diminishing of the number of deaths. European Russia is entirely overrun by the disease. Destitution and uDcleaolincss, the busy handmaids everywhere of disease, bave in Russia an ally more powerful even than they, superstition. A largo proportion of the people’s food consists of sour, half fermented eatables and drinkables. A comprehensive change must be mado before a normal state’ of health cau be attained and the epidemic kept in check. The cattle plague is reported to be again appearing in South ern Russia. Sudden Death of an Entire Family. — The Wilmington (N. G.) Journal, of Saturday, says: “From a gentleman who arrived here yesterday, we learn that an entire family in Faison’s Township, Du plin county, died very recently, aiid un der such peculiar circumstances, that the neighbors have suspected foul play, and have therefore taken measures to have the matter thoroughly investigated. On the evening of the 6th iust., Mr. Ex urn Morris, the father of the family, was taken vciy suddenly ill with burning pains across his stomach. He rapidly grew worse and expired the next day. Ou tho 9th, Mrs. Macinne Morris, bis wife, aged 40, also died, having suffered in a similar manuer. On the 11th, a child named Ruth, daughter of the a bove, aud aged only 8 mouths, was taken ill and died, and on the 13th, Charles, son to the above couple, aged 4 years, also died. There were natural grounds for sus picion, and the stomachs of the two chil dren were taken out and given in charge of Dr. D. M. Buie, ot this city, for the purpose of making 'an analysis of tbeir contents. Mr. Exuni was an old and highly re spected citizen of Duplin county, and the sudden decease of himself aud fami ly has cast a deep gloom over the sur rounding section. The neighbors, iu general, believe that the entire family were poisoned, and there arc strong sus picions, we understand, of those who committed tlic horrible deed.” The Secretary of War, upon return ing to Washington, directed the Judge Advocate General to 'prefer charges a gainst Major Hodge, the defaulter. The application on behalf of Hodge to be relieved from close confinement, has been refused by the Secretary of War, and he will therefore remain in custody at Fort McHenry. NEW AUGUSTA CARDS.
