Suppose that certain persons in iita c.-urjfy in Georgia had undertook to eon- »r:f tie bite election law, according to the. tir.ous nolions of three persons in tho different could it have been possible for any ttuatoftlie whole number to have hit upon la Sima plan adopted in Hancock connty ? Sha it is remembered that parts of the late 1st were observed in that connty, and part re- fsiiilrd,; tbit parts of old laws which had ha repealed; and parts of the Code were litojht into requisition, und other parts ig- toad, it is readily inferred that an election ml<T such circumstances, wonld be no election Util, but an arbitrary dictation of those who til lie power to enforce their opinions of the liT. It is shown in the evidence that the accnscd ail he would have every man arrested who oicuwithont complying with a law, which the let of tbe Legislature, approved October 25, ltlO.tbr.- gates. He also exhibited & warrant, or vfcst was supposed to he a warrant, for the imslof the managers, to one ormore of them, cd threatened its service if they did not ac- «tle to bis construction of the law. These »«* cerliinly attempts to “prevent, hinder and detract" voters “from freely exercising the rjht of raffrage.” These words and acts were to the end that votcis might beprevent- dfrom voting. It is then shown that three of the managers »tw arrested, as well us several who., had without complying with tbe de- tiid of the accused, and tbat the election m uopped. The three managers -were sent bjiil, where they remained about four hours, cl until a second Board of Managers had been bnned, and had opened the polls, when they wre batted out by. voluntary bail from their political opponents. This action had the effect tf pm tiling a general election, from tho fact tilt tbe 2.000 voters in the county, or, accord- itg to tbe last registration.2,201, only 792 voted it tbe list board, and 140 at the first, making a util of 041, which leaves, at the lowest esti- cite, 1,059 voters in the connty who did not tast their ballots. It is also shown tbat at least two persons were fKrenied from Toting at the first B iard, by the uitst of the managers ; flnd that tbe ruling of tie second Board was that those who had voted u the first Board, could not vote at tho second, Ihs preventing 149 voters from votiDg, admit- htg, as claimed by the accused, tbat tho second B-urd was tho legal one, and the first illegal, the B-urd of Managers which was broken np the arrest of a majority of its number, is held to be the legal one, and its members “officers of election,” in the meaning of the act of Con- P*w, acd they are therefore entitled to pro tection underthot act They haviDg been inter fered with by tho accused, and no paliating cir- tanutatieen having been shown for such action, judgment of thia Courtis, that Mr. Linton Stephen's, the defendant in this case, be bound bond of $5,000, to appear at tho noyt term m the United States Circnit for the Southern District of Georgia, to be held at Savannah, A Pril 10th, 1871. When the opinion of the Court had been dc- lirertd, Col. John B. Weems, one of the able counsel for the accused, immediately drew up lie required bond, which was signed by Judge Stephens, Pulaski Holt, C. A. Nutting, Judgo Blount, and one or two other gentlemen whoso names we do not now remember, and the dis tinguished and persecuted gentleman was re used from custody. We say persecuted, for •ceordieg to the fundamental law of Georgia, Judge Stephens had done nothing to justify a prosecution. A WFTiNonsnED, practical and scientific plan- tor, in an ajress to an Agricultural Society,makes nse of ihi 4 forcible language: “It is, I think, j^vious *0 every one, who thinks on tho subject, fertilizers are now a necesity for this conn- y- The system of planting hitherto pursued, exhausting the ground and returning noth- |^g to it, fi M necessitated a change in this di rection, and more especially is this necessary, 11 *e are to get the highest yield from onr lands jjf which they are capable.” This is truth, then it becomes important to the farmer that ‘•should buy tho best and cheapest fertilizer. *toad the advertisement of the Langdon Fertil- ** r in another column.

Saint Andrews Society.—Onr Scotch friends in this city celebrated, in the rooms of the Saint Andrews Society last nif-ht, the 112.h an niversary of the birth of Robert Burns, the great poet of Scotland, who had “an inspiration for every fancy, a music for every mood." We were honored with an invitation to be present, bnt tho pleasure of responding in person was, unfortunately, denied ns. We are told, how ever, by those who were present that the oc casion was one of unusual interest, enjoyment and good feeling. A Eumptuous repast was spread, end many a tumbler was tipped to the memory of tho great national poet of Scotland. Songs, recitations, toasts and jovialties marked the moments as they flew, and tbe spirit of Bums seemed to preside at the festive board. It has been said, and truly, that the poetry of Bums will live forever, because it sprung di rectly out of the human heart, to the deepest and noblest emotions of which it appeals. With out evidences of culture, without that grand or powerful imagination which makes a Shakes peare or Milton, aspiring only to the hnuiblest flights of poetic art, it is yet so profoundly fraught with passion, so instinct with melody, so true to nature, so artless in its grace, that every bosom capable of feeling must be touched either by its pathos, its beauty or its mirlh. “There have been loftier themes than his, And longer scrolls, and louder lyres, And lays lit up with poesy’s Purer and holier fires; Yet read tho nsmes that know not death, Few nobler ones than Bums are there, And few have won a greener wreath Than that which binds his Lax. Magistrate’s Court.—M. J. Edgerly, Radical candidate in this connty, at the late election, for Clerk of the Superior Court, appears before Judge George M. Logan to-day, to answer a charge of false swearing and illegal voting. The case will, doubtless, develop the fact that Edgerly is, and has been, since he came to this country, an unnaturalized citizen, and that lo had no more right to vote at the late election, than if be had sent his ballot over by mail from Ireland and had it clandestinely deposited in the ballot box. He will now be forCed to pro duce his naturalization papers, if he has them, and it is certain they are non est, or be would not have applied for them since the election and in the fear that he had caught himself. Produce your papers, Edge, or you are bound to go up tho spout.’’ MARRIAGE GRIDE. EVERY ONE HIS OWN DOCTOR.

Because it will give greater return from Its use, pound fur pound, than any other fertilizer, lo matter what the price. FROM THE 5IANY TESTIMONIALS from prac tical men, these are hero given: • Tuscaloosa. Ala ,} December 22,1870. f Got. )V. T). Maun: . (A Sin—Your circular of the 1st inst. came to nand. As we found the Langdon Fertilizer tho beat tbat we tried, I give 3 on my experience with- it Onr lapd is pcor, red hill land. Used 200 lbs. to the acre. Wo used ono ton of Giilam’s at $'75^ three tons of Zell’s at i85; two tons of tie Langdon at $60 per ton. The land was all worked alike, arid the same quantity used of each I did not keep tho weights of each field separate, but attended to the picking and weighing ntyself. and know that there was moro cotton gathered to tbe acre on tbe l ang- don than any other part or the place. The Z- it’s was ntxt. From my own cxperience } and in the opinion of all farmers who took notice of i*., the Langdon Fertilizer was far superior to any th.t we used. Respectfully yours, etc., O. H. FI I'd. Mr. Thomas H. Kennedy, of Meridian, Mis *, af ter recounting his experience in the use of tho Langdon Fertilizer, says: “ when I lived on my plantation in Alabama, I used many kinds of Ma nure, but I never used ay thing that would begin to compare with the Langdon Fertilizer.” THE TRICE AT THE MILLS IS $60 PER TON. It is exchanged for Cotton Seed, 300 pounds, in BtroDg sacks, delivered free on board boat or cars at Mobile, for one ton Cotton Seed, free at the landing or depot up country—sacks and twine fur nished by tbe Mills. Of ita cheapness, Col. Langdonrays, “Itscheap ness—I am fully convinced that, at the pi ice now- fixed by you,to-wit—$60 per ton. Iti3 mu.h the cheapest fertilizer in our market. Pound for pound, I consider it more valuable than the preparations that are selling at $75 to $80.

MrMaexSmith, Albany Ga., used fifty tons; result splendid; have been using it for tiirto years, and prefer it to any other fertilizer, and will con tinue to use it. Capt S D Fulleb, Wilcox county, Ga—Yield double; used fifteen tone; have great faith in Mapes; have used it for past four years. Mr E T Walton, Madison, Ga —Yield doubled “surpasses any I overused;” willcontinue’to use i». Mr Ambrose Mubphy, Btrneeville, Ga.—Aerate of 100 pouuds per acre increased yield 160 per cent; “I consider Mapes equal to any Phosphate in use.” Mr W T Heabn, Eatonton, Ga., used twenty tons; an application of 100 to 125 pounds per aero dou bled the yield; will continue its use. Messrs E B Waters, J 8 Bartlett, J J Ricks, and J B Deavobs, Butler, Ga., say they regard Mapes’ one of the beat fertilizers in use; has doubled yield and stood drought better than any other fer tilizer in their section. Dr B R Mims, Burton’s Ferry, Ga.-, says on most of his land Mapes’ fully doubled the yield, and in one place the yield was three-fold. Mr Daniel Petebson, Fort Gains, Ga , says he has hsed Mapes’ three years. Ita application this year doubled yield, and he expects to continue its use. Sir J L Hays, Gordon, Ala., says three years test of Mapes’ side by side with the leading Standard Fertfizers causes him to give Mapes’ tho prefer ence over all he has tried. Mr J M Maddox, Eatonton, Ga , says he bought six tons; applied on cotton at rate of WO pounds per acre, and on com, 75 pounds per acre doubling yield in both instances. Capt J H Griffin, Oxford, Ga , says in past two years has tested Mapes’ with seven other Standard Fertilizers, and it has proven better for him than any other, yielding an increase of 200 per cent each year. • -* Mr W S Gbjffin, Eatonton, Ga-, says he applied 450 lbs. on one and three quarter acres and gather ed 60 bushsls of very fine wheat. Natural land would have yielded not over 15 bushels. Mr L J Babnabd, Eatonton, save 125 pounds to tho acre on oats, gave him 28 bushels per acre on land that unaided would not have yielded over qushols. Mr JWKeath, Dawson, Ga., says he has used Mapes’ for three years with most perfect satisfac tion and will continue its use. LPD Wabben, Eeq., Albany, Ga, expresses himself so satisfied with tho resnltof ita application this year that ho will use more largely in future. JudgeN L Atkinson, West Point, Ga., says, after threo year* use of Mapes’, considers it one of the best fertilizers sold. Its application to cotton aod com the present season has doubled and trebled tbe natural yield of the land to which applied. Mr Jasteb Haynes, Schley county, Ga., says he applied 100 pounds to an aero, asd had gathered a month since 1.100 pounds; quality of land average upland* Mr John Hawkins. Laurens county, Ga., writes that Mapea’ doubled his crop. Mr Bobebt Shields, Morgan connty, Ga., ro- gards Mapes’ equal to any Fertilizer sold, after thoroughly testing it the past season/ Dr N B Walkeb, Eatonton, Ga.. says “after try ing a variety of Fertilizers, Mapes’ is his fa;onto.” Ilia cotton, to which he applied it, was tho most heavily fruited he ever saw for its size. Mr Wyatt Hiluabd, Sumtor county, Ga., says notwithstanding dronght in July and August, Mapes’ increased his cotton 100 per oent as compared with parallel rows unmanured.
