iltc Jerald & THURSDAY MORNING, SEP. 9. 1875. The Trial hr Cordj Harris Resulted in a virdict of “not guilty.” This did uot take our people greatly by surprise. TLv? Jury was composed of some of the best citizens of the county—gentlemen of intelli gence who understood the oath of Jurors and strictly, rendered their virdict according ly. That Cordy Harris is guilty of the crime charged but very few doubt; yet it was not sufficiently proven from testimony admissi ble under the rules of evidence to authorize a virdict of guilty. Fortunately for Harris the plot was discovered too soon for proof positive to be obtained. No ore ever had a more impartial trial. If there was leaning at all, it was on the side of mercy.. He goes free and unmolested to-day, and these facts should forever silence the slanderous tongues tliat, for political purposes, Lave proclaimed to the world that the colored man could not have a fair trial in the courts of the South. Commenting upon the trial, Mr. Herbert, who was present, in a letter to the Savannah News writes thus of “what the evidence has disclosed”: The prosecution has succeeded in proving that there did existamoug the negroes of Lau rens, Johnson and other counties (and to some extent in this county), a feeling of op position and hatred to the whites. Under the teachings and load of Joe Morris, a bad and worthless fellow, the negroes had been made to feel that the road laws, the tenure of Linds aud their exchxsion from the jury box were oppressive aiul unjust to them. Mor ris Murkerson, and otliemf who were am bitions for military titles, took advantage of this state of things to inflame the passions of their race, and in this way organize them in to military companies, oath-bound and se cret in their operations, with a view to se curing high military positions for themselves. The great mass of negroes who were drawn into the movement were ignorant and stupid plantation hands, but it has been fully shown that the leaders and many of the sub ordinate officers were possessed of some in telligence, and that they exhibited a great deaFof energy and used considerable decep tion in their efforts to organize and control the colored population of this section of the State. These leaders, as has been amply shown by reliable testimony, did make threats of destruction against the white pop ulace, and proposed to bum the Court-house in this city. Unfortunately these threats were made in adjoining counties, aud the negroes who made them have fled from jus tice. Cordy Harris is reported to have lis tened, without protest, to^tiiese threats, and one witness testifies that Cordy even made a threat himself; but it was done at Buckeye Church, which is not in this county. That he was the leader in this.section, cannot be denied; and that he was using his influence to mass the negroes together for some” pur pose, secret in itself and fatal in its^couse- quences to the whites, is too ^evident to be laughed at as a mere “scare.” The threats referred to were,made at different times and in places widely separated, showing that Morris was making an effort, by his own ap peals and incendiary threats, as well as thro his subordinate officers, to consolidate in this movement the entire negro population of the nineteen counties over which he proposed to exercise his authority as ‘Brigetary Gineral.' Nothing li^is been called out by the trial of Harris which goes to disprove the sworn con fession^™already published in my previous and maintain relations of lia-mony nd good will with all, of e^ery color, race and condi tion. Be sore you do not cherish the spirit of enmity and revenge against those of. the opposite race. To my colored friends, let me say that I do not believe that there is any hostility on the pirt of the white people towards you. I do believe that it is possible for yon to live in harmony with the white people., The very trial which has just taken place here shows that whatever prejudices may have been in existence a colored man in this country may have and has bad a fair and impartial trial and should satisfy you that no enmity ex ists against you as a people. When you feel convinced that any law of the land is oppres sive,is wrong, try to get a rectification through the ballot box and a change by lawful means of such laws as are not to your satisfaction. Never, never, never band yourselves together to subvert the law or attempt to incite any one to join in any combined resistance to the Liwful authority of the State. Never, never conceive any such horrid and demoniac pur pose as to murder at night those who are sleeping in their beds. Tnere may be some white people who have done harm to you or to some of you, but you cannot say that all wnite people are guilty of injustice or oppression to all colored people. That is as unjust as it is to say that, because a few black people are bad, all are bad. Try to do right. Try to entertain feelings of peace v of love, towards all mankind. The man who has just been tried is a preacher of the Gospel. I would admonish him that that Gospel teaches us all to love one another—to love our enemies. “Love your enemies,” it says, “bless them that curse you, do good to them that hate you.” That is the Gospel it is his province to preach. If he has been a participator in this alleged scheme of in surrection he has belied the professions he makes in th^ pulpit and has disgraced the clothes he wears ns a minister of the Gospel of Love and Peace! My friends and fellow-citizens, we are as counsel has said in the trial, all in the same boat. Both colors are here. It is our inter est to live together in harmony. On the one hand you my colored friends, can furnish the labor. Yon are compelled to labor for a liv ing. as well as the white people are. The white people need your labor and have means to pay you for it. Capital and labor should work together in harmony, parallel with each other, and make the best of their con dition. W r e should all be controlled by these principles and be guided in our conduct by these considerations. Let all men, white and black, feel that we are under the law and under government. Odt of that our liber ties are secured. If that law is not enforced liberty is a myth; and it is the duty of the government to enforce the law. Fellow-citizens,let us feel our responsibility as citizens, and iook not for present good omy but for the benefit also of those who are to come after ns; for if there is anything which should be most dear to us all it is that we may leave to onr children the herit age of wise laws and a wholesome govern ment. ■■!«■■ —— FORSYTH. Monroe Female College. It was our good fortune to spend Tuesday of last week in the above charming town. It had been many years since we were there, except to pass through on the railroad. The improvement since 1870 has been very great. A large number of handsome residences, fine business houses, etc., have been erected, and tbe business of the place has improved in like proportion. Among the thriving mer chants of the town we found our long time friend and former fellow-citizen, Dr. John B. Turner. The Doctor has not entirely Sunday School Celebration. Emanuel County, Ga. , Sept 6, 1875. Etlilor Herald <t Georgian:—There was grand Sunday School Celebration at Bethel church, in this county, on the 2nd insk was at the church by eight o’clock, and by nine the crowd began to assemble. The people were to be seen coming from all di rections, in buggies, on horse-back and on foot By half past ten about six hundred people were on the ground. The next thing in order was for the School to meet about'two hundred yards from the Church, form procession and march in. At the head of the column marched two sweet lit tle girls, dressed in white and each carrying a banner. On one of the banners was inscrib ed, “This is the Way.” On the other, “God is Love.” The procession marched into the Church singing that sweet old song— “I want to be an angel.” - Having assembled in the Church, prayer was offered by Rev. G. W. Smith. After which a speech was delivered by Master W. M. R. Flanders. The young orator (for he is quite young) acquitted himself very handsomly in deed, and if he continues to improve will some day be heard from among the eloquent men of the country. We next had a sonl-stiring address from Rev. L. B. Bouchelle. Then an able address from Rev. C. A. Moore, delivered in his usual fine style. Aft<>r singing one or two songs, dinner was announced and all repaired to the table to partake of the bounteous feast that had been spread. The long tables were covered with all fhat apetite could crave.— I think not only the “fatted calf’ had been slain for this occasion, but tbe fatted pigs, turkeys, chickens, and everything else that this big-hearted people could concieve of that would add to the pleasures of the feast, had been brought. But I tell you, Mr. Edit or, this is a land of plenty any way. Not much use for Western corn or bacon in this country. But I can’t leave that dinner just yet. It was a feast for kings and princes, and we did ample justice to it Dinner over, we had a fine address from Rev. Geo. W. Smith, and a few remarks from Rev. Jourdau Flanders, a venerable and much beloved Father in Israel, and the old est man in the neighborhood. The subject is not near exhausted, but lest I weary you I will close. More anon.

We spent pleasant hour with the Doctor, and only re gret that time would not permit us to visit Visit to Fllenton. Editor Herald & Georgian :—Last Tuesday morning ere the stars had quit their silent vigils we were hurriedly completing our toi lets, preparatory to bidding adieu to the ma jestic Savannah, and the loved ones at home for a few days. Ellenton on the Port Royal Railroad was to be the terminus of onr travels, but in con templating our pleasant ride, and pleasanter luncheon, we were almost oblivions fora time of anything better in view. As the first rays of the rising sun lit up the calm, fair sky; we were several miles from home, and nearing the once beautiful neighborhood of Erwinton. How changed the scene ! Where in antebellum days the lovely enclosures assured us that just up the avenue stood a princely mansion, we now find only piles of brick, constant, lasting re minders of that raid in tbe winter of ’64. H e were delighted, however, to find the fertile lands surrounding these places so finely cul tivated. The former owneis have most of them left their native State, but the tenantry have as tine crops as we havo ever seen any where, hundreds of acres of cotton several feet high, lapped in the rows, and corn strip ped of its burden of fodder bending beneath the load of two huge ears per stalk. The crops on the entire trip with lew exceptions were good. Higher up in the neighborhood of Steel creek we saw some very handsome dwellings, and the churches scattered along the road every few miles, white and colored, show that God is here praised for his many blessing, for truly Carolina, ’though at pres ent under the oppression of aD obnoxious government is a nice little State. Arrived at our destination just this side of the depot, we were filled with admiration. ‘ ‘ Stretching out in front was a vast extent of nicely cul tivated land shaded at the far side at a dis tance of four miles by the dark-green foliage of the Savannah river swamp, and still be yond, rising one above another as far as the eye can see, are Georgian hills bestuded with diminutive white spots, which upon inquiry we learn are the dwelling places of friends beyond the river. A Fatal Mistake. Pottstille, Pa., September 4.—Two young men, driving a bnggy, were accosted by two special police whom they mistook for outlaws, and one of tbe young men fired, wounding a policeman. The police returned the fire, killing one, and the other escaped into the woods. A vigilance committee is being or ganized to suppress outlaws. The election in California has resulted in the choice of a Democratic Governor, mem bers of Congress, State Legislature and May or of San Francisco. MARRIED, August 15th, 1875, by D. H. Smith, J. P., Mr. Josiah Davis, of Emanuel county, Ga., and Miss Emma At.t.mqnd. of the same coun ty, at the residence of the Brides’ father. New Advertisemets. Grand Jury Presentments. "VT^E the Grand Jurors of the county of VY Washington, selected, chosen and sworn for this a special Term, ordered by his Honor Judge Herschell V. Johnson for the investigation and trial of such cases as are charged with an attempt to incite an Insur rection. Through the dispensation of a kind and merciful Providence, the eyes of our people were opened in time to stay the thieatened demon’s bloody hand, and thanks many and loud, should be raised to high Heaven in praise of that good Lord who has saved us from so bloody a scence as was seriously ap prehended. We entered upon the discharge of the du ties imposed upon us with great care, with great solemnity, knowing full well its weighty responsibilities. Notwithstanding the atro ciousness of the crime charged, we succeed ed well, we think and trust, in dispelling all selfishness, all prejudices, all bitterness, that such conduct is so well calculated to incite in our weak nature. Knowing well our ac tions would be severely criticised, notwith standing all the precautions we could possess ourselves of, we entered fearless of conse quences upon the discharge of the important trust and have the happy conscientiousness of having done our full duty. In the Present ments of the March Term of this Court we congratulated onr people upon the improved morals, the prosperity, peace and quiet that reigned among ns. We in term.-, earnest and as strong as we had language to command, complimented his Honor for the improved status of our county’, brought about by his rigid administration of the law, not the least anticipating such a diabolical outrage in in our midst as has called this special session of the Court Some of us, but a few Courts past, served upon a Grand Jury of this coun ty which congratulated our people’upon the good feeling that prevailed between the races, and cautioned our colored people against those seeking to stir up strife and arraign the races in antagonism to each other. How sad to-day the seeming change! how uufoytunate for both races that the colored people have seemingly allowed wicked and designing men to inflame their passions to such an extent that some have been inspired by the wicked one to take the lives of not oalytiur men but innocent aud unsuspecting women and chil dren. Sad indeed to contemplate, if true. In our investigations we found tbe major portion of the cases, charged with an attempt to incite an insurrection, where the testimony was most decided as to their guilt, from the counties of Laurens and Johnson. The It r- ger portion arranged in this county’, we are of opinion, were duped into these nefarious John J. Brown, William J. Archer, Hne L. Peacock, Thomas D. Cullen, John E.

His many friend had spared him and kept him here especially j this county will be glad to hear of his pros to guide us through these dark and for-jperity. Since first he commenced the prac boding times. While be spake the iissem bled multitude listened with bated breath, to catch every word; and when he closed, in the Court-room though it was, one iroited ap plause shook the Court-house to its very foundations. Gov. Johnson said— 3Jv. Foreman and Gentleman of the Grand Jary: With great interest I have listened to th- conmiuuication you have just presented. I de.-dre to say a few words in response to mat ters suggested in it. and I address myself to the citizens present generally, as well as to yourselves. You have passed through a trying ordeal. Whether justly or unjustly, the white peo ple of this county believed that on the part of the black people there has been .an inten tion to commit acts oi violence and deprive white citizens, indiscriminately, of their li ves —(.bat wholesale assassination was con templated. That belief was calculated to excite indignation and arouse feeling of re venge in the minds of the white citizens. It is highly credible to tbe white people of this and other counties involved that no acts of violence were committed, but that the de termination prevaded generally that it would be better to appeal to the forms and princi pals of the law. That has been done. One case has been tried and all the facts oonnect- ed—connected under the rules of law—have been brought before the country. Many of you heard the testimony. The jury who tried the case heard the testimony: they heard the argument of counsel for the State and ac cused. The Judge presented the law m his charge as he understood it. The Jury have returned a verdict of Dot guilty as to the one against whom most evidence was supposed to exist. . . Now, gentlemen—fellow citizens—it is very probable that there may be some persons in the country who are impatient; who are dis posed to feel that it is necessary that some body should be punished; who are not satis fied* with the termination of the case that has been tried. To all such let me say, as tbe result of years of experience and of a profund study of the relations of mankind to each other, and the duties they owe to the l aw —let me say, as your friend and fellow citizen; as a true-hearted Georgian, who nev or had an impulse disloyal to her interests a s on of your state, whose ancestors sleep in Georgian earth; in whose bosom he ex pects before many days to sleep;let me say, whataver may be your feelings of discontent, arising from .the rest of this investigation whatever may have been your apprehensions ai to wbat is past, or are your apprehensions a s to wbat is yet to come, let me admonish you not to violate the laws of the land. That law ii your protection whilst you are in the peace of the State and in fear of God; that law is tice of medicine, for which nature seems to have especially fitted him, scccess has at tended him. He puts his whole soul jnto it, and has risen rapidly to eminence. MONROE FEMALE COLLEGE. Our business to Forsyth was to accompany to the above excellent college three young ladies, who go thither to finish their educa tion. They were Misses Lula Youngblood Ella Skinner and Maggie E.. our eldest daughter. We spent several hours most pleasantly in the college. The Fall Term has opened very llatteringly. This excellent in stitution of learning for youug ladies has a faculty of able and accomplished teachers. Mr. Asl>ury, the President, is an accomplish ed gentleman aud one of the finest educators in the land. Dr. S. G. Hillver is perhaps unsurpassed in all the land. The lady teach ers, whose names wo have not before us and do not now remember, are just such as any parent would desire for the mental training of a beloved daughter. It was our first visit to tbe college, and we confess all tbe arrangements far surpassed our expectations. The building is commodi ous, splendidly arranged, with one of the finest Chapels in the State, well ventillated and situated on a handsome eminence, sur rounded by thirty acres of land, affording ample room for out door exercise. Added to this, the health of the college and communi ty is unsurpassed anywhere. A3 we are-re liably informed there has not been a death among the pupils of ttt college in six years At the meeting of the Baptist Convention in Milledgeville in April last, it was resolved to establish in Georgia a Female Seminary in keeping in every respect with Mercer Uni versity. A committee was appointed to se lect a location for said Seminary. That com mittee is to meet in Macon on the night of 21st of October, during the State Fair. We understand that it is believed Forsyth will be the place selected. From our observation and knowledge of the State we do not believe a better place could be selected. It is of easy access by railroad, centrally situated, with good buildings and a flourishing College to begin with, in the midst of a town of re fined, intelligent people, and for health not surpassed anywhere.

Not the Georgia Baptist Female College, met at I a gun fired or a drop of blood spilt. Whilst that time and place, adjourned over to Macon! we were so much exasperated, we have wise ly submitted our grievance to the proper tri bunal, believing justice would be meted out to all. Wo cannot but repeat our congratu lations at our people withholding violent hands and allowing wisdom, moderation and justice to prevail. We were deeply impressed with the charge of his Honor Judge Johnson, for the whole some advice given, and expounding the laws to us, also for the wisdom displayed in hav ing this charge in such shape as not to be misconstrued, for as stated, the responsibili ty involved in these trials are momentous in importance not only to the county but to the whole country. The legal ability as well as the weight of character so richly possessed tion from other counties of Laurens and they | jurisdiction of this Court, j and should have been imprisoned and tried ! in the counties where the crimes were com mitted; and we commend his honor Johnson for giving such direction, doubt they will be dealt with as such gross offenders of the law so richly deserve. 11Y/TANUFACTURES and Repairs all kinds We cannot too highly commend t>ur people -i-V-L of Agricultural Implements, Wagons, for the wisdom and discretion displaced liy ■ Carts, Buggies, and all kinds of repairing ■’ ’ ' ‘ ‘ ** " done with neatness and dispatch, and Horses carefully shod.

Al the Macon meeting the committe thought best to postpone until thorough notice could be given to every Baptist community in the State, hence no ac tion was taken ; but another meeting was ap pointed for Dalton on the 10th of August. At Dalton the matter was thoroughly can vassed by the Committee, and final action postponed until the evening of the 21st Oc tober, in the lecture room of the First Bap tist Church at Macon. We say, then, let not one single community that desires this Col lege in its midst be unrepresented at Macon on the day above named. The Committee are determined these and then to fix a per manent location for the Georgia Baptist Fe male College. D. E. BUTLER, JAS. S. LAWTON. ************************************************ L. J.
