LETTER FROM SAVANNAH.
Sninw Ga., May J,1873.
To the Kioto ns of the Herald:
I am bora for Ibe purpose of inspecting the
Federal juries that were prepared by Farrow
for the purpose of persecuting the citizens of
Macon who, as be alleges, were engaged in
the riot at the polls. The Herald asserted
several weeks ago that this new jury order
was lramod for the especial purpose of collect
ing all the infamy and ignorance of the coun
try in order to carry out the malignant pur
pose of this, the worst mau that has cursed
our State since the surrender. Judge Ershine
was weak enough to yield to the malignant
purpose of this bed man, and the result is be
fore us, in an array of ignorance and worth
lessness such as has never before disgraced a
judicial tribunal.
There are a few good men sprinkled here
aud there through the list, but good care will
be taken that their names shall not be drawn.
As an evidence of the trnth of my assertion,
there is not a single wbiteman from Baker
county, not one from Berrien, only two from
l’utnam, and so on in this ratio throngh all
the other counties. That oven the negroes
who were summoned are among the meanest
.of their race, I append the pedigrees of
those from Glynn county as evidence, fur
nished by a correspondent of the Savannah
News:
Wm. H. Rainey, scalawag. Assistant United
.State Assessor.
J. T. Sbuiteu. colored, Chairman Republi
can Executive Committee.
John T. Collins, Radical, United States
officer, Collector of Customs.
Harry Margood, black, a rice-field black
smith.
John R. Cook, Radical, engaged in the
mnle business.
IL T. Bunn, Radical, Deputy Collector of
Customs.
G. O. Wilder, Radical, clerk, for J. R.
Cook.
J. O. Cornelius, (Radical,) one of the
social equality kind.
J. M. Coleman, (Radical,) an ex-State Sen
ator. This gentleman (?) is a clerk or some
thing else in the Custom Honse at Savannah,
aud although his famly resides here, he is a
resident of Chatham county.
James Bine, (black,) the distinguished Rep
resentative of Glynn county in the Legisla
ture. This individual will make as compe
tent n juror as he is a representative. I be
lieve he can write his own name, and can
surely take that side of the question espoused
by his party.
O. P. Burt—Stranger in this section; hails
from the North; suppose he must be Radi
cally inclined, as he has been put on the jury-
list.
S. H. Cook, (Radical,) brother of J. R.
Cook.
D. P. Dnnn, (Radical of the deepest dye,)
follows the business of a banker and broker;
is more distinguished, however, as a negro
philanthropist and stump speaker.
Now, the question arises, how did Swayze
and Farrow succeed in picking out snch a set
even out of their own party ? The only re
ply which is reasonable is that they got the
assistance in each county of those who are
very little better than themselves. (1 am
willing to admit that these might be a little
better, because I don't think that one genera
tion can produce any more like Farrow end
Swayze.)
Swayze has made it his boast for months
post that he would have a jury at Savannah
that would be equal to the occasion and
worthy of the Court. Uow well be has ful-
fi lied his boast, let those who look uponwhatl
now see answer. In the jury before me,
there are six black negroes, two tan colored,
and four white men. I have heard since I
came hero many express regret that Erskine
should have lent himself to such a dirty
piece of judicial tyranny; and X sincerely
believe that when he came to look npon his
work and scent the aromatic' odcr that he
had voluntarily introduced into his court,
that he did feel some degree of shame. It is
possiblo even for Erskine to feel embar
rassed, for history tells us that the notorious
Guilford, Lord keeper of the Beal, under
James II, who is described as a man distin
guished for his falsehood, selfishness, cow
ardice and meanness, and who rose in his
profession by paying ignominious homage to
all who possessed influence at court, was so
mortified at the coldness' of the king, and
could find so little consolation in looking
back apon a life which, adtbougb not black
ened by atrocioos crime, was sullied by
cowardice, selfishness and scurrility, that
when he appeared for the last time in West
minister Hall, he took with him a nosegay to
hide his face, as he could not bear the eyes of
the bar and the audience. So even Ers-
kioe, after looking upon his jury, has slipped
away to Atlanta and left Judge .Wood to hold
this Circuit Court. When he returns, I
would advise him to bring a nosegay for more
purposes than Guildford used it
If even Farrow can give any other reason
than the Herald has given for adopting this
new mode of selecting juries, I would
like to hear it It argues that
white men are no longer capable
worthy to sit on Federal juries, and, there
fore, resort had to be made to negroes. The
very words in which the rule is drawn is an
insult to our people. Commissioner bwayze,
ct al., are instructed “to collect the names of
five hundred persons of intelligence and moral
worth from the body of the people in the
Southern District of Georgia, if so many can
be found, Ac.” Now the idea, “if so many
can be found’’ in a district where the city of
Savannah is situated, a city remarkable
throughout the land for the intelligence and
refinement of its people is simply preposter
ous, and was intended as an insult. The
whole thiog is an outrage, and I have scarcely
patience to write calmly on the subject The
corruption ot the courts and the tyranny that
can be thus perpetrated is the crowning in
famy of a bad government, and it now de
pends npon the press of the country to bold
up the perpetrators to su*h scorn as shall
cause them to recede from their wiaked pur
pose.
Judge Woods is evidently a man of fine
sense, and must no doubt be disgusted with the
spectacle before him. As an evinence of the
intelligence of theso juiymeo, I will relate an
incident that occurred to-day. In striking a
jury the name of a negro man was strnck, and
the J udge directed the list to be called, and
all whose names were not oollsd to leave their
scats and take positions on the opposite side
of the court room. The list was called, and
still there sat thirteen; the lisi was called
again, and still thirteen remained. Finally,
it was discovered that there was an old negio
who was trying to bold to his situation, when
Judge Lyon, one of the counsel, walked up to
him and said, in his old familiar style, “get
out of here, sir." It was quite amusing to
see the old negro slope, and cause a titter
throughout the court room.
Notwithstanding such a grand jury, it
would have been impossible to find any bills
if Farrow had allowed rebutting testimony to
go before them, but this be declined until he
had succeeded in getting five bills against
five respectable gentlemen of Macon. Feel
ing secure jin his jnry, be substituted other
testimony, and the result was that not even
this grand jury could find any more indict
ments.
The cases come m> for trial on Wednesday
next, and Judge Lyon, who is counael for
these young men, will no doubt be able to
quash every one of the bills.
As anxious as Farrow and Erskine may be
to send a few of their fellow citizens to the
Albany penitentiary, in order that there may
be some plausible excuse for all the fuse they
have made over this Macon riot, I think
they will fail to make out a case.
Business here is about over, and the season
of picnics has begun. Savannah is alive with
military ardor, and there are already organ
ized a number of the finest military compa
nies in the South. I sincerely hope that the
Volauteer Battalion and the Hussars may visit
Macon at onr next fair and contend for the
military premium.
The fact that their fire companies are to be
present, with others from Columbus and At
lanta, would attract the largest crowd aver aa-
scmbled. There ia to be a picnic and general
<lay of rejoicing to-morrow, in which all the
military companies will unite. As it is gen
erally expected that a large number of ladiee
will grace the ceremonies, the newspapece
have concluded to give holiday, and allow the
printers a gay time also.
Electing a Pope.
UOW THE VICAR OF CHRIST IS SELECTED - TKE
CERRMONER AFTER A TOTE’S DEATH.
Chambers’ Journal some timo ago contained
the following account of how Pnpos are
elected:
Assume a vacancy in the chair of the so-
called Vicar of Christ; the Pope is dead.
Who is to be his successor ? First of all, the
fact must be authenticated iu proper form,
and to do this, one of the officials of the
Camera visits the death chamber. Standing
at the dooT, and striking it with a gilt mallet,
the Cameolenga, receiving no reply, en
ters the room, taps tho corpse on the fore
head with a silver mallet, and then fulling on
his knees, proclaims the Pope to bo no more.
The tolling of the great bell of St. Peter’s
announces to the people of Pome that they
have lost their sovereign and the Church her
head. Consistently with the theory of per
sonal government prevailing in the Holy
City, the Pope’s death ia particularly an an
nouncement of the temporary suspension of
all government. All political and all judi-
dicial authority ceases; the law courts sus
pends their sittings; anarchy reigns. This
state of lawlessness continues nine days—
that is, till the appointment of a fresh Pope —
and this period was for centuries distinguished
by outrages that were a scandal to tho gov
ernment of the Holy City.
The day after the Pope’s death the Cardi
nals meet and break what is called tho Pasea-
torial ring. This ring has a history of its
own—a more romantic history, probably, thau
any other ring in Europe—and if it could
apeak it mi<hi tell of some startling secrets
about the Vatican. It is. we believe, a plain
gold ring, bearing the effigy of St. Peter.
Its principal use it to sign apostolic briefs;
and it has been used for this purpose by tho
Popes from the earliest ages of the church.
Looking through the recently published cor
respondence of Napoleon I, a few days ago,
we came upon an interesting incident. When
Napoleon issued his orders for the seiznre of
the prayer-books and papers of Pius ^ II, ho
laid particular stress upon this ring; he
wished it to be seized at all hazards; and when
it could not be found, his majesty ordered an
officer of gens d’armes to demand it from the
Holy Father. This was the crowning affront
of Napoleon to the Pope, and Pius VII hesi
tated for some moments whether to comply
with the rude imperial request or not. A cap
tive, however, and at the Emperor’s mercy, it
was impossible to resist, and at last the Holy
Father, taking a little leather purse out of his
pocket, produced the fisherman’s ring, broke
it in two, as it is broken on the death of every
pontiff, and handed tho pieces to the gen
d’armo. Through Prince Borghese the broken
ring was forwarded to the Emperor at Paris;
but it afterwards found its way to the Vatican
and now frequently adorns the finger cf the
Supreme Pontiff
THE FUNERAL OF A POPE
is an interesting and georgeous ceremony.
It is not till the ninth day alter death that the
Cardinals reassemble to electa successor; and
the Ballot Society wiil be glad to hear that
the Pope is elected, like the member of a
club, by ballot
The right of election vests in the College
of Cardinals; and this right is inviolable; no
thing can touch it It is a personal privilege,
and one that survives even excommunica
tion—the highest sentence of the Church.
Neither heresy nor crime can disfranchise a
cardinal, and, though beyond the pale of the
Church, he may present himself at the Vati
can on the day of election, with his conclave,
and assert his right to cast his vote with the
greatest princes of the Church for the-Sove
reign Pontiff.
The modus oparandi is this: The cardinals,
attended by their conclavists, and accompa
nied by a host of high officials, assemble on
the election at the Vatican, and are there all
locked up together, like an English jury, till
they have delivered themselves of their ver
dict—that is, till they have made a Pope. No
name is proposed; no speeches are made;
hardly a word is spoken; a Quaker meeting
could not be quieter. What takes place is
this: In the centre of the room stands a chal
ice, or what may be called an election urn.
Each Cardinal in turn writes upon a slip of
paper the name of the candidate for whom he
votes, and this slip of paper doubled up, is,
by the conclavists, deposited in the chalice.
When the votes ol the college have been thus
collected the names of the candidates are
read aloud, and the number of votes an
nounced.
The Pope must be elected by a majority ol
two-thirds of the college; and if any name
attains this number on the first ballot, of
course there is an end to the business;
THE POPE HAS BEEN PICKED.
But if no one gets this number, the voting
papers are burned, and the people oouidc the
college, waiting for the verdict, know when
they see the puff of smoke that they are still
witnout a sovereign. A second ballot is then
taken, and, if necessary, a third. But it is
understood that at the third ballot no Cardi
nal will vote a second time for the same can
didate. If, therefore, he still adheres to his
choice, he writes nemine on his voting paper,
which, being interpreted, means that he
votes for no one, and thus, at
the third ballot, by this pro
cess of casting eut, a majority of two-thirds
is obtained, and the Pope is made. No; not
quite made, for the Courts of France, Spain
and Austria possess each in turn a veto upon
the vote of the College of Cardinals; and
they may exercise this veto without a word of
explanation. It is a simple case of black-
j. We do not find that it has been very
frequently exercised; but as recently as 1830
the Court of Madrid exercised its right by
black-balling Cardinal Guistiniani. This
power, however, can only be exercised once;
and there are cases on record where the
College, having set their heart on a man
whom they knew to be obnoxious to one
of the courts, (say to France) have first
put up a Pope in buckram—that
is a Cardinal whom they knew must be black
balled by France; and then, having cleared
the ground, elected their own man without
risk. Portugal and Naples have at different
times put in their claims to the privilege of
black-balling the Pope; these have never
been allowed by the Sacred College; and now
that Spain has thrown off the Bourbons, she,
too, we suppose, will lose her righ of con-
troling the election of the next Pope.
France also, since tho deposition and
death of “the eldest son of tho Church,
will have no right to interfere; so Austria
alono will retain her voice in the selection.
Perhaps there is one more fact which we
ought to mention; that is, that the Pope need
not necessarily be either a cardinal or even a
priest. The Sacred College may, if they
think fit, make a Pope out of a layman; they
did it on one occasion.

General John B- Gordon in
Texas.
We clip tbe following from tbo Austin
Gazette;
The lUvrEW.—Almost every carria2e and
buggy in the city wero pnt in requisition on
yesterday evening to convey persons to tbo
Military Institute to witness tbe review of the
cadets by General John B. Gordon. The
cadets were in fnll-dress uniform, as neat as
pins, and their arms looked as though a white
cambric handkerchief could not Lavc been
soiled npon them. The review was a most at
tractive spectacle, and the young fellows must
have felt a thrill of entkusiam and pride to
receive the commendations of so noble and
chivalrous a soldier as the renowned Gordon.
The review over, the General addressed them,
complimenting them npon their noble appoar-
ance and discipline. Ho said the Texas Mili
tary Institute was a school of which the people
of Texas, and iu fact of the whole South,
should feel proud; and yet bo thought it
strange that snch a magnificent institu
tion of learning had been allowed to
struggle on without any public asK’mlanc.e.
The gentleman at the head of it, who bad
labored so zealously for its establishment and
support, deserved tho highest praise, lie
thought it exceedingly strange that neither
Austin nor tbe State had done anything in
aid of it, but while he and all others regretted
this, he felt satisfied that this state of affairs
would not exist long.
His advice to the yonDg men was such as
always emanates from a true patriot He ap
pealed to them to cherish honor and recti-
tndo as the dearest treasures npon earth. Let
the youth of the South cultivate these vir
tues, he said, and they would load to a mor
al subjugation of the corruptions and villain
ies that have of late been holding high revel
in the beautiful land that wo all love so
much.
His entire speech was fall of dignity and
pathos, and he was frequently applauded by
all, and most heartly by the cadets. Tbe re
union was one which will long be remember
