One Thousand Miles a Bay- The Pensylvania railway company has begun to rnn a lightning express atleast §1,000,000, wherewith to ■ State, lyment of which an of the people resolutely opposed, will, at the T, 22. nextsessiou of the Legislature, 'at-' ~ jtempt, by the most unblushing bri bery and corruption, to defeat an amendment to the Constitution— which lias ture—.-forever prohibiting, the payment of these bonds.

The point the amendme“t reaches the people.— They can neither be bribed nor bul-: lied But short of the people, the amend meat is and will always remain in dan ger. 'Hie bondholders know this,and 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 from side troughs at the different sta tions along the road, without stop ping- S Fine Pictures. Wo have had the pleasure of a call from our old friend Dr. S. A. Wan- chope, of-En-fanla, (formerly of Cnth- bert Ga.,) who is how acting-.as agent 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 GfHs,-" or “Wide Awake aifft fast Asleepj” nnd “The Lord is ; JUstn.” 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 ' • L’tarnry. ■ Bt. Nicholas fob September— Opens very seasonably with “The Gentle ADgler,” a paper on Isaac Wal ton, and we soon come upon a story about hunting antelopes in the West. Among other seasonable things is a very funny, illustrated poem called “The -Cheated Mosquitoes.” “The Pony Express” is a well written arti cle, handsomely illustrated. There is a handsomely illustrated article'oil' “Old Dutch Times hr New York,” by Col. Ti W. Higginson, and a. loving account of the author of -f‘Robinson Crusoe;’* by f Donald G. MitchelL'— There is a lavishly illustrated account •of the adventures of a certain “Jim Crow” and a poem, curiously, il lustrated by James G. Beardjin which the verses and a lot of fishes; in com pany with a little boy and a mermaid, ewnn nrayely about.all oyer two pages, The departments at the end of the number are crammed fis usnal with V’.se bits of fun and funny bits of wisdow.' Scribner’s for Semptember contains impmicual number of stories The most sfciiking of all is Bret Harte’s r muring sketch of “Wan Lee, the IV-gan.” Mrs. Davis describes “The l ; “}»Her Pot Woman,” Mr. Brnrougbs ’Tliies hmhsin s ;y aettet “AleliotV Eng- IhiSd,” "ifr. Crosby brightly about “Grastic -Literature,” auu.M.-S: S says something ahont. r,rnlrrel lus. Mr, jug’s “Great South” paper deals •yith Alabama and Mississippi. -Mr. 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.
