amendment to the Constitution—
which lias

direct vote of the people, and-there is
no doubt whatever of their ratifying
it by an imm -use majority. The point
the amendme“t reaches the people.—
They can neither be bribed nor bul-:

But short of the people, the amend
meat is and will always remain in dan

their fight will be made in the next
Legislature. They can afford, and we
honestly believe will make up a pool
between New York city and Pittsburg,
Pa., making the entire trip of 444
miles in the brie’f space of 11 hours.—
In order to accomplish the journey
within that time, only three stops are
made on the route between the two
cities. The average rate on the trip
is over forty miles an hour, as follows:
From Pittsburgh to Altoona, 117 miles
stopping five,minutes; to Harrisburg,
132 miles, stopping twenty minutes;
to Philadelphia, 105 miles, stopping.
5 minutes; ‘thence to New York 90
miles. The locomotives dip up water

Wo have had the pleasure of a call
from our old friend Dr. S. A. Wan-

of the Cbistinn Union, a large family
paper, quarto size, 24 pages, and full
of instructive and entertaining matter
religions nnd literary, from over three
hundred eminent writers, of this
country and Europe. There accom
pany this paper three splendid pre-
premiums in colors, viz: “Our Boys,’
or “The Dinner and the Nap,” * ‘Our

The latter a cross with a wreath of
lillies of the valley and violets; any
one of which is worth more than the
subscription price to the paper. $3.50
per annum. Several of our citizens
have received their paper and pictures
and are well pleased.
Terrible Tragedy at S a-
An account has just .arrived says.the
Journal Officiel of Paris, of -a fright
ful drama on the high seas. On the
Sth of. June the, Italian vessel Napo
Icon Camnrero sailed from Macao with
a crew of forty men, and having on
board G63 coolies for^Callao, and 8,000
packets, of fireworks. After a lapse of
two days the interpreter discovered n
plot among the emigrants to seize the
ship. The captain immediately or
dered one-half of them to .be confined
in the hold; but the next day those
who remained on deck. armed - them
selves with knives, belaying pins, pie
ces of wood—in Short, anything they
could'lay their hands on, andnttackcd
the crow, who defended themselves
with muskets and revolvers; The
coolies then massed themselves on the
forecastle and set fire to the vessel,ho
ping that the crew would set to work
at the pnmps to extinguish the flames.
During that time they had -also freed
their comrades and murdered the few
sailors they could get hold of. The
captain, seeing what they were doing,.
deserted the ship with the. remainder
of his men. Some sailors, who re
mained'on board with the doctor, the
mag.-.zine-mah nnd the interpreter,
were unable to prevents the flames
from veaching the fireworks, and the
ship blew up,scattering the fragments
of the mutineers in every direction,
under the very eyes of the escaped
crew

operate, through the-Iobby, upon the
members of the Legislature. They
can buy tip enough “skilled talent” in
that line, of both home and foreign
growth, to allow one tempter for ev
ery member at both - houses, ;apd then
have: sufficient to buy the Legislature
—if it is made up of the right sort of
material for that purpose. Fancy the
greedy flock of buzzards and carrion
crows that will.l-ukle their wings and
whet their beaks around Atlanta when
tbe. bondholders open the game; and
fancy thereadiness of the corrupt- and
scoundrelly legislator to be bought
when the tempter shakes the green
backs at him!
We do not mean to say there are, or
will everbe under Democratic rule,
many of these creatures found' .repre
senting the people in the General As
sembly. -It is as mncli tbe inclination
and natural tendency of the average'
Democrat to be honest and, to hate all
rogues and roguery, a-i it is the natu
ral tendency of Radicalism and its fol
lowers to steal, but there are always
exceptions to every rule. Kascally
Democrats may slip into office if not
Watched, as all know, and these are the
chaps we fear. •* If they get to A tlanta
they will sell themselves t-o the bond
holders as eagerly as an old bawd
sells her batte d charms to the firs !
bidder. We want our friends to mark
these men. They are, or can be easi
ly known, and must be resolutely
thrust aside. If there is any doubt
about them at all, show them back
seats without hesitation. The best
plan, in onr judgement, would be to
exact a pledge, before nominatiom
from all candidates that they will vote
for the amendment. That makes as
surance doubly sure, and as it places
all on an equality none can* take of
feree. This, however, may we sup
pose be left to the people of each
county to decide. If they know their
man the pledge ‘may not be necessary,
bnt let. tbem.be sure of him.; We see
no earthly objections to the pledge,
biit others may, and therefore we do
not insist upon it unconditionally.—
All we ask. is that no mistakes be
made, and in our opinion the propos
ed is the very best, plan to present
them.
If the people, will consider the con
sequences of-defeating the,amendment
and thus paving, the way for the pay
ment of these fraudulent bonds, we
are sure they wiuld need no warning
or advice from tbe ^newspapers. They
would stamp the breath out of the in-;
famy so effectually that it neyer would
kick again. But they have other mat
ters to look after, and are in danger of
losing sight of this impending evil—
one of the gravest that ever threatened
them. Therefore, is the press, of the
-State speaking out with such earnest
unanimity, and urging them to con
sider and settle this matter before the
Legislature meets, by electing men
whom the bondholders and all their
gang cannot buy. Let-them reflect
that if these bonds are ever recogniz
ed, or their payment ordered the State
tax of fifty cents ou Ike hundred dollars
■would be three or four dollars on the hun
dred dollars. If they will keep this
one fact constantly before them for
the next two months, we shall have
no fears for the fate of the amend-
rnen t.—Telegraph and Messenger,
We take pleasure in publishing the
above article, and rejoice that onr con
temporary has at last come boldly to
the front oh this question.
ds that been onr purpose to say something in
favor of a reform in the manner of
administering criminal law in our
courts, or rather in the censure of its
non-administration. We have waited
fora change in Jndisial officers, but
still our dockets bare many criminal
cases on them which have stood, for
years, and many more that have died
a natural death. Tme the County
Court gives speedy trial and. punish
ment to petty offenders, but it has
long-been the ease in the Superior
Court that any felon who posses
friends or means sufficient to obtain
bail mi^bt for years go nnwbipped
of justice, and be licensed practically
to commit crimes at will and bid de
fiance to any wbo might threaten him
with the forum.
'.At each court we have had a “clear
ing of the jail,” with a stern adminis
tration of heavy penalties upon the
miserable occupants of its gloomy
duDgeons. Then the announcement
is generally made that no criminal
case “-out of jail” will be taken up;
and discouraged prosecutors and wit
nesses, and many accused persons anx
ious to have a trial and- and acquital,
return to their homes heaping bitter
curses upon those who fail to afford
. protection to their lives, property and
person. Onr judges appear to for
get the great' importance of certain
and speedy trial and punishment for
offenders, and make up -for the de
fault in fixing very severe penalties
on those who are not able to give bail
and avoid conviction.
On the civil side of the court few
casses get to a trial until two or three
years after they are brought. But
since the establishment of the County
Court, which relieves the .overburden
ed dockets of, minor eases, there is
some improvement.-.- - r .
The question of obtaining-a speedy
execution of law in both civil and
criminal cases in-one well worthy of
consideration of onr. next grand; jury.
If they will make soine inquiry valid
recommendation on the subject, it
will call the attention of the Court to
the feeling of the community, and,
doubtless secure the co-operation of
rhe presiding judge in the needed re
form
Attending Courts from term to term
in quest of tardy justice' is unsatisfac
tory and expensive to parties and wit
nesses; and many endure grievous
.vrongs rather than seek redress in
the tedious courts of law and equity;
Besides the matter complained of Las
a tendency to induce people to take
the law into their own hands, or ratli-
lo violate it to secure the rights it
kould guarraniee.
