TO CORRESPONDENT?.
We arc always glad to reeieve from our
friend* and publish nommimicationa of
general interest to the public, but our
space i» limitted, and we cannot and
will not devote it, or even any consider
able portion of it to any one subject to
the exclusion of others. In these fast and
feverish times there ure very few writers
who can interest or even amuse the pub
lic in a communication of more than a half
column ; and for a country paper like
the Journal, the insertion of long,
wordy articles, is simply absurd.
“Brevity is the soul of wit,” and short,
crisp, pointed articles are always accept
able to the public and eagerly read ; but
we cannot burden our columns and boro
, our readers with long-winded contribu
tions, however meritorious they may be.
We trust tliat our friends will remem-
ber this and not force us to the embar
rassing and unpleasant necessity of de
clining to publish their communications.
THE PROI'I'.SHIOXS.
It is relsted of Webster, we believe,
that on a certain occasion, when quite a
young man, a friend attempted to dis
auade him from studying Law, by sug
gesting the already crowded condition of
that profession, to which the embryo
statesman replied that “there was always
room at the top." These words have
sinoc become a maxim for every ambi
tious youth who aspires to professional
fame, and arc good and true enough
when judiciously followed, but their ap
plication should not be limited to the
professions. There are many other
spheres of usefulness iu life, aside from
the learned professions, in which the
words of the great statesman may serve
as • guide and stimulate the effort to at
tain superior excellence and distinction,
ft is infinitely better to be a good and
successful farmer, or mechanic, or print
er, or even a day laborer than to be a
jock-log lawyer, n silly preacher or a
stupid, ignorant doctor. Wo believe that
“orators, like poote.nro hovn, not made,''
and when a man possesses the trno ele
ments of inato genius and greatness he
iinrarisbly rises through someone of the
•many channels leading from the sulistm
»tum off commonality to the upper surface
of distinettun. But how many such men
as Webster, sad Clay, and Calboon, and
Toombs, and Stephens, and Bnsoom,
and Sp neon, and Pierce does «‘century
produoe ?
We are rosily to nitwit that a man of
medium or indifferent talents may, with
low enuniug, chicanery and impudence,
attain something like success in a profes
sion, btft he does it at the expense of
iliis honor, conscience and self-respect.—
A large majority of parents are blind to
the faults and deficiencies of their own
children, and fondly imagine that their
young hopefuls possess every moral and
mental qualification for becoming trans
cendent luminaries in any profession ;
while others have no higlier ambition
than to see their son behind the counter
of the village store, with his hair partial
in the middle and a silly smirk on the
countenance, retailing tape and nonsense
to admiring customers.
Why not give tire boys as good an ed
ucation as possible, aud then make hon
est, industrious, thorough-going mechan
ics and farmers out- of them? Even if
they should succeed in a profession or iu
politics, aud acquire what, these days, is
called celebrity, think of the recent Cred
it Mobelier aud Back Pay scandals, and
imagine tire shame and mortification of
the parents and relatives of those who
perpetrated those outrages.
“Tour children may never have
wealth," said a clergyman to his congre
gation, “but it will be something for
them to boast that their fathers were not
members of the Forty-second Congress. ”
We clip the following sensible article
from the Macon /Enterprise, and ask for
it a thoughtful perusal:
“Sixteen Hundred New Lawyers.—
We are told that the Columbia Law
School will this year graduate no less
than sixteen hundred members of the
bar.
The trades and professions are crowded
almost to suffocation in the United States.
We have too many lawyers, doctors,
book-keeper* and clerks now. Each
year the professions become more swell
ed by « sw arm of now recruits as above
turned out by colleges,
But if those young gentlemen suppose
that it is as easy to make a living prac
ticing law or practicing medicine as it
was twenty years ago, they arc greatly
fooled. We know of manyliotli old aud
young who have since the war given
them up in disgust, starved out or have
found something more lucrative to go at.
and have gone at it. Sensible!
What this country now needs more
than anything else is practical planters,
skilled mechanics, and men trained for
factories of a hundred kinds. In view of
the present situation of the land, those
sixteen hundred lawyers had better not
come to Georgia to locate. Wc have nn
abundance of them on hand already, aud
to spare.
But should they in their travels know
of any one wanting a situation behind
the plow, they van forward them down
this way by the cart load.”
The Lond«u papers which locate Bos
ton on the shore of Lake Erie, and Mo
bile at the head-waters of the Mississippi
river, refer to Ben Butler as an American
Statesman. *
THE STOKES CASE.
; The Court of Appeals of New York
I lias sustained the decision of the Supreme
; Court in the case of Stokes, who morder-
I od Fisk, and unless Gov. Dix interfere,
and extends Executive clemency to the
j culprit, (which is not at all probable,)
; he will certainly be hanged. Both Stokes
I and Fisk were such disreputable cliarac
| tore that, aside from morbid curiosity,
1 few people except their immediate rela
tives and friends, have felt much interest
or sympathy for either party. But un- ;
fortunately the principal author and in- j
stigator of all this crime and bloodshed—
she who has been the cause of one vio- j
lent death soon to 1m- followed by anoth- i
er—Josie Mansfield,goes unwliipped of \
justice.
THE SLANDER MILL.
“Curses, like chickens, come home :
to roost, ”
History can hanlly furnish a clear
er verification of this homely old
proverb than is exhibited in the late j
Bowen-Tilton-Beecher scandal. From j
the begining of tho anti-slavery agita
tion at the North, which culminated in
the late disastrous war, the Beecher
family have persistently and systemat
ically kept their slander-mill in full blast.
“Uncle Tom's Cabin,” a batch of unmit
igated slanders, written by Harriet Beech
er Stowe, did its work well; while Henry
Ward Beecher preached the same from
his pulpit. Everybody re,members the
fiendish outrage perpetrated by. Mrs.
Stowe Upon the memory and character of
Lord Byron. Let us see now if the in
nocent and pureminded Harriot will run
her immaculate brother through that
family Slander machine and sift out his
harmless indiscretions tor the benefit of
tho public.
THE ILLINOIS ELECTION.
The Radical party of Illinois, lately
so haughty and so confidant in their
strength, seem utterly dnmtounded at
the result of the election for Chief Jns
tioe of the Supreme Court in that State,
and are trembling in consternation at the
first shock of the political earthquake
which bids fair soon to sweep their cor
rupt party into oblivion. They entered
the contest with a heavy majority in
their favor, but the farmers quietly
brought out tlicir candidate, and to the
surprise of everybody, and particularly
tlio Radicals, elected him by more than
1,500 majority. And now tlie Radical
PresH, in mortification and rage at their
unexpected defeat, and with a unanimity
wonderfully suggestive, are venting their
spleen and wrath upon the Patrons of
Husbandry with irrepressible prodigality.
They bitterly denounce the farmers for
forsaking the Radical nominee and elect
ing what they term a partisan Judge;
but in this their inconsistency is
rcdiculoiisly.cimspicuous, when it is re
membered that, they themselves have
manipulated the Federal Judiciary from
tlie Supreme Court down, until the
wearers of the ermine are nothing more
than debased tools of an indifferent Execu
tive and a corrupt Congress. The Presi
dent has oven gone so far as to announce
his determination to appoint a partisan
successor to Chief Justice Chase.
It may be wrong to allow political bias
to influence the choice of Judges, but
the Radical party, after forcibly estab
lishing the precedent, has no right to
complain. To give an idea of the influ
ence likely to be wielded by the new or
ganisation, wo append the following :
The farmers' movement in the West is
becoming a serious perplexity to party
lenders. The number of granges is mul
tiplying rapidly, aud the disposition to
mingle in political contest lads fair to
completely change the relations of the
old parties. An official statement of the
granges organised previous to May 19
gives the following interesting facts : Ar
kansas 15, California 8, Georgia lti, Illi
nois 481, Indianua 142, Lown 1,507, Kan
sas 128, Michigan 24, Minnesota 219, Mis
sissippi 112, Missouri 245, Nebraska 190,
Ohio 47, South Carolina 118, Tennessee
18, Vermont 22, Wisconsin 140—making
an organization in the United States of
3,377, granges, with an aggregate mem
bership of over 2,000,000.
SUPREME, COURT DECISION.
Tlie following decision of the Supreme
Court of the State, which wo clip from
tho Constitution, will interest many of
our readers:
Bouesville Manufacturing Company vs.
John (1. Caldwell. Award, from Mc-
Duffie.
WARNER, C. J.
A motion was made in the court be
lli w to make nn award of arbitrator's tho
judgement of the Court, to which sundry
exceptions were filled. The exceptions
were demurred to as being insufficient in
law to set aside the award. The Court
sustained the demurrer as to all the
grounds except one, mul that one being
submitted to the jury, they returned a
verdict sustaining the award. Excep
tions were filled to the judgment of tlie
Court sustaining the demurrer to the
grounds taken to set aside the award. It
appears from tho record that certain
matters of difference existed between
Caldwell and the other members of tlie
Bonesville Manufacturing Company, that
the parties agreed in writing to submit
the matters in controversy between them
touching their matters of settlement, in
volving the correctness and incorrectness
of their different accounts and claims, to
tlie arbitrament of the three arbitrators,
who, after examining seven 1 witnesses,
investigating the various documentary
testimony, submitted to them, made
their awrad. On examining the several
grounds of exception taking the award,
os disclosed by the record, we find no
error in the judgement of the Court in
sustaining the demurrer thereto accor
ding to the previous rulings of this Court
in similar cases. The submission inclu
ded settlement involving the correctness
and incorrectness of the different »c
i counts, aud claims of tlie parties. What
was the nature of these different accounts
and claims did not appear to the Court,
! liecause the evidence had before the ar
! bitrators was not set forth and that was |
! a fatal defect iu the pleading to set aside 1
! the award, which was demurrable for the
cause. The office of a Tlemurrer is not i
to deny the truth but only the legal suf
ficency of the allegations demnrred to.
It therefore, admits all such facts alleged :
by the adverse party as qre well pleaded, I
and refers the question of law to the j
Court. Sharp) & Brown vs. Loyless 39th :
Georgia Reports 12. Exception the 7th |
ground of objection to the award, there
wns nothing alleged against it which ac
cording to the ruling of this Court in !
Sharp & Brown vs. Loyless before cited, j
Anderson vs. Taylor 41st Ga. Rep. 10. j
Akridge vs. Pattillo 44th Ga. Bep. I
585 and other cases, which would have |
author ze 1 the Coui tto have set aside j
the award in this case.
Let the judgment of tlie Court below 4
lie affirmed.

Point Lookout, June 1873.
Mistier J/editors :
I address you in do plural number,
case I bleves do “ole man heloquent will
make his debut in do uex hissne of de
JubNul, and den de copartnership is jist
wat it says— two on cm.
Well, arter kongratniatiu yon on de
berry superior success of your berry
valanblo paper, I rite you dis liifnshuu
from de highest pinocle of do Lookout
Mountin. I looks out upon all natur
an snuff in de circumambient hutmos
piiair, an in do berry depths ov my sole I
says dare nii| a God, an from dis subli
mated etherial I rises to do sublimity of
do occasion and plants myself upon do
mutability of ov all human grateness.—
Bo in dis communioashun you may not
spent me to keep in parallel lines or down
to de hai'gumehtum had omnium, for ,1
shall beet about lusc, and so what I’ve
got to sat without prelude.
Like Mistur Mioawber, I've been
holdin my patients in “durance wild,”
“waitiu fur snuithin ter turn up,” but it
wont turn, llut den a “talc to unfold”
I've gut, aud you need not expec any
grace on dis side ov Jordan White till I
unbiißßums myself of do relsdushunary
trubles which disturbs my mental re
sponsibility ; and dis brings mo to da
kongrossliunal Back Oral), on which you
ax me tor spies my pinion with my usual
Locality. Well, my pinion is nimbly
spressed in do quallums of konshuns
which deso Burners am allowing tho late
in do day. Let em spoke fur dcmselves.
One says “dis is ter surtofv dut I’ve bin
cotehcd iu gittiu goods under false pur
tonces, iui by de charity ov my frens 1
hub lof Washington, de tenter or my
uumerus tvansgroshuns, an mu purmitted

Moves dat ilo prison walls would liav sur

Darefore I hereby proinus dat de
munny dus rongfully nn feloniusly ns
truetod from de nashun’s trosury fur my
oun hadvantiga Hindi neber go to pay any
010 det I jestly owe, but will kepe it on
do broad principal of rneuin not carin one
continental for tiium. Anoder ob de
Back Grab gentry determined to gib liis
stohui goods to de kause ov edekasliun,
but sein a opportunity to invest his
munny at 10 per cent, lie went for de
opportunity an dat is what ails Homier.
Anoder repentuont sinner sent §75, ov
liis grab to his miuistur but de revrunt
Head said “nary time, I am no reciever
uv stole goods.” These here’s what I
calls liai'd liks.
But in hextenewation ov dis crime day
say it must lie kunsidered as little ir
regularities, and others the result ov
I the war.
I say that if Capt. Jack whips out the
grate lanky Army, he will cum out from
liis Laver beds, descend like a averlaunch
on de tresury at Washiutun, an away
will go de greenbax. So it's well emrf
dat our boys got de fust grab. Dor was
a pepnl in old times called do Lpcrians,
and when da was bout to pass a law de
mover of do bill hud to cum inter de
Sembly wid a rope round his neck, and
if do bill ment good to de nashun, all
right, but if it did not and was only for
self do tndder end of de rope was tide to
a swingin lim and do Legislator was
elevated ou high.
I recommend dis custom to de mem
burs uv and elas Kongris. But den you
axes my [union uv it. Well, my pinion
was dat dar would lie a compromise and
a division ou de vote—dat de Sous and
de Norf would split de subject, dat is
dat Dimekrats would back out, and de
Rads would grab, as dat is dar strong
game.
But bless your soul, de Democracy
was keen fur de hole hog, an da went
fur it strong. I was mitily disappinted
in dis, fur you know we was cunsidered
do Aristerkatick Party, dat would not
teteh de 3 loves nor de 5 fishes no matter
how hoagry we was. But munny is
rnity temptin, and evil kommunicashuus
w ill kurrupt good manners. It is do ile
of spiles which levens do hole lump. I’se
very sorry our friends voted dat vote,
and no matter in what way damn wish
ter propriate it de scarlet of de crime
will not [>ale. But I’m dun wid de Back
Grab.
I red your paper whar Mr. “Bully"
sed ilat de proflit Lijkali hail vamosed
from des low grounds and gone back to
de “Hub ov de Universe.” But how did
he git up aud git ? is de question. Was
it de work ob de absolete Ku-Klnxes, or
! de spirits ob Mr. Alcohol, or spirits of tur
| pontine or spirits of gobblers damned, or
was it de spirits ob de Lord what un
barred de prison doors and told Air. Ya
veh to shake de dust of Kolnmby from
his naked feet and leave ? All I’ve got
to say is ' ‘Goopby John, and joy mid
you.” It was mighty lucky fnr him that
somebody’s bowels of compassion open
ed for dis minister ob licenciousness,
fur we’ve got a Governor dis time wat
don’t pardon nobody, man, woman nor
children. Narry time will he reverse de
’eision ob de “Court la-low.” He is
heavy on de promise, but on de pardon
he ain’t Bullock.
Please recommend one your best, first
class lawyers to me—one wat pleads iu
de big U. B. Courts. I wants him to
fetch suits agin de Freedman’s Boro for
a SIOOO wat I pade de ginnerl. I see no
menshnn made of it in liis koutit kurrent
wid de government, so I spect he grab- '
.bed it. If de youg man is elebber, and
will do his lebble best fnr me, and recol>
tier de hole amount, 1 will gib him all ob
it anc 20 peT cent, on de top ob dat.—
Wat I want is to make a zample ob dis j
high functionary who fooled me and
mad a f runt grab on de government, and
did a heap ov harm to de lately maneipa
ted. Roundabout.

Thomson, Ga., June 8,1873.
Mr. Editor :
I received a letter from a distinguished 1
Georgian, at Louisville, to-day, who in
reference to our Railroad says;
"Dear Sir —The Railroad project ;
about which you have been writing is a
magnificent enterprise, and if earned to j
completion would be one of the best rail
road lines iu the United States.
Our people here are very anxious and
mar'll interested upon the subject of rail
road communication with our town and
county, and will aid to rhe utmost of their
ability any railroad enterprise which
contemplates coming to or passing by
our town and through our county. Wo
now have a charter from Louisville to j
Jessup, and if Brunswick is your object-1
ivo point, at Jessup you will connect j
with tho Brunswick Railroad, and you
will have to get a charter from the South j
Carolina line to Louisville, only, to have j
tho entire chartered line through Geor-1
gia, which you want. A large proper- ,
tion of the amount necessary to build the j
road through Georgia can lie had by j
subscriptions along tho lino in Jefferson j
and Emanuel counties.
Get your charter, and let us know i
when you want subscribers, and we will 1
go to work with a good will to extend nil ;
the aid iu our power.”
This is the first blast from Jefferson, |
and if we have many such men along the j
line this road will be built.
Respectfully,
Jno. It. WItJWN.

Dear Journal :
To-day our usually quiet, little town j
was shocked by the announcement that a
little sou of Col. H. D. Capers had ac- j
oidently shot and killed himself.
It seems that the boy had been in the j
habit of playing with a small pistol lie
longing to liis elder brother which was :
supposed to l>e empty. This morning he j
wont to the trunk and took out the pistol ;
to play with it. Unfortunately it was
I loaded and when fired the charge took i
| effect iu tho temple, producing death in '
j about three hours. The child was about I
j three and a half years old. This is an- [
j other to be milled to tho long list of ilis- :
tressing accidents resulting from impru- j
deuce and carelessness, and should be a
warning to parents to keep fire arms out
of the reach of children.
. J UVENALI.S.
Important to Bankrupts.—Judge
Erskine, Tuesday, issued the following
order in reference to bankrupt matters in
the District Court :
In rcgaid to filing petitions to restrain
sales under executions, Ac., a copy of tlie
bill or petition, uuless otherwise ordered
by tho Court or Judge, should accompa
ny the writ of injunction. All petitions
or bills must be filed in the Clerk’s office
before being presented to the Judge or
Court aud they should state fully the
grounds upon which the prayer for the
writ of injunction is based, so that the !
Judge may bo fully and particularly not- j
ified in tlie premises. All facts essential
|to a understanding of the subject j
j matter must be set forth, otherwise action j
may be deiaypd and petitions returned ;
for correction. Certificate of adjudiea- ;
tion ought to accompany bills Asking for ;
injunctions. Officers of Court will loox
carefully to the bankrupt law and gener- ;
al orders of the Supreme Court of the
United States and the rules of this Court
in taxing their costs.
That Missing Link.— Professor Agas
siz, says a writer in Appleton’s Journal,
as is well known, holds that the different I
races of men arc specifically distinct. In
a recent lecture he says ;“I have pointed |
out a hundred specific differences between
the bonal and nervous system of the i
white man and the negro. Indeed, their
frames are alike iu no particular. There j
is no bone in the negro’s body which is
relatively the same iu size, shape articu- j
lation, or chemically of the same compo
sition as that of the white man. Even
the negro's blood chemically a very dif
ferent fluid from that which courses in
the veins of the white man. The whole
physical organization of the negio differs
quite as much from the man’s as it does
from that of the chimpanzee—that is, in
i his bones, muscles, nerves, and fibres
“chimpanzee has not much further to pro
gress in order to become a white man.’ -
Here, then, is the “missing link ’’in the
■ evolution theorv.
The Danbury News, (of course; says a
' little school girl has lately had her dinner
stolen : No clue could be obtained to
I the thief, although it was sought with
tears. Finally a mild plan was hit npon.
A tempting doughnut with a filling of
cayenne pepper was placed in her pail and
the result watched. Before noon a little
boy was seen at the pump, working in a
lively manner. It seemed as if he had
had two hundred pairs of arms, he could
have used them. The fire was put out,
however, and enough of the structure
i saved to take across the knee for a few
minutes.
