The Finale ct the Cox Teial —At-
l.nta Constitution:
As they fiied into the well-orowded
coart room there was a solemn stillness
in the air. The jurors looked fatigued
and anxious and their countenances ehow-
ed no expression of exaltation. O wing
to an informality in writing tho proper
form of the verdict soma delay was caus
ed in its correction. When it was tan
dared. the Solicitor General, Mr. Hill,
took it, glanced hastily over it and then
in a sympathetic and earneat manner
read:
We, the j ary, find the prisoner guilty,
and recommend that he be punished by
imprisonment for life in the penitentiary
C. P. Bcgan, Foreman.
This, then, was the finding of the
twelve honest triors of tbe prisoner. In
those few words there went ont to toe
world the witness that these men had
done their duty nobly and all the sorry
ramors and reports of their alleged senti
ments and predeliclions bad been unfoun
ded and unjust. It gives ns peculiar pleas
ure to find that our hopes and faith, as
expressed yesterday, were made good by
iha foreman, and others in their verdlot.
The pnblio will not fail to honor and ap
plaud ibis action. Tne law has been sus
tained by them and tney should ba doub
ly honored for their devotion to it.
THE HEABTBEEDIKG SCENE.
Cox heard the awful words of tbe ver
dict; with forced calm and composure. He
did not once give token of unusual emo
tion, and either to cheer his relatives or
to defy the public’s demands, he remained
the stoic and .brave defendant as he was.
Mrs. Cox eat for a moment greatly agi
tated, then rose hysterically and made as
if to rush at an open window, from which
wav a chan fall to the ground below. Cox
caught her and held her back, and his
whole concern then seemed to soothe and
repress the grief and distress of hi3 poor
wife. Clinging to him with her arms
twined about his neck, sho shrieked
and called upon tbe name of
tho great and good God, “Ob,
my God! Oh, my darling, my lore, my
husband!'’ filled the air, and hur means
and grief were of the most heartrend
ing character. The sternest men in that
assemblage shed tears in sympathy with
the deep grief of this poor lady. The
mind went back to her distress, to her
virtually orphaned children and desolate
home! But with these thoughts came
others equally poignant, picturing the
widowhood, orphanage and desolation in
the home of the man who was slain, and
that these might all come on other
homes and to other hearts, day after day,
unless a check should be put to tbe ca
reer to those who recklessly, heedlessly
and ruthlessly strike down in death their
fellow-men.
the sentence.
Judge Hillyer stated that ho would, as
usual, complete tbe record in the cause
and pass sentence upon tbe prisoner. He
asked if there was anything farther to
be said why sentence should not be pro
nounced. *■- -
General Gartrell said nothing except
ing to give notice for a motion for a new
trial.
Judge Billyer thereupon parsed sen
tence upon Cox as follow;:
“Whereupon, it is ordered, considered
and adjudged by tho court that the de
fendant, Edward Ccx, be taken from tbe
bar of this court to the jail of Falton
county, and bo there safely kept until a
sufficient guard is sent for him from the
penitentiary of this State, and he be then
delivered to, and by this guard be
taken to eaid penitentiary, and there,
or at such other place as the Governor
may direct, he, the said Elward Cox, be
confined at hard labor for and during bis
natural life.

Counsel for the prisoner thereupon

2. Requests that thoso who present pa

4. Bequests the physiclins familiar
with tbs metrio system to help their con
freres and the druggists in its applicatirn;
and the delegates present at this session
to woik up tbe acceptance of the metrio

The Baptist Convention. — The
twenty fourth annual meeting of this
body is now holding its sessions in At
lanta. There nre about 263 delegates,
clerical and liy, present, and they repre
sent a constituency of ever a million of
intelligent people. Rev. J. P. Boyce,
D. D., of Louisville, Kentucky, was elec
ted President, and J. B Jeter and C. L.
Cocke, of Virginia; Joshua Levering, of
Maryland, and W. C. Crane, of Texas,
Vice-Presidents. The deliberations of
the convention still continue. Tho mo3t
impoitant matter introduced thus far is
embraced in tbe resolutions of Bav. I. T.
Tichenor, vizi
Whtreis, tho time has come when all
who believe in Jesus should work might-
ly for the deliverance of the nations from
the bondage of sin when the voice of
Divine Providence calls us to greater
sacrifice and noble efforts to secure the
triumphant coming of His kingdom;
Whereas, Tbe cordial oo-operation of
the Baptists of these United States would
tend greatly to promote their efficiency
in this grand work; and, whereas the
love of Jesus and the wants of dying men
demand that allowing “the dead past to
bury its dead,” we, leaving tho things,
which ere behind, should prets forward
to deliver the kindreds of the earth from
ignorance and vioe and bring them into
the liberty {wherewith Christ is eb’e to
set th-m free ; therefore, .
Resolved, That five b.cthrea be ap
pointed by this convention to bear to onr
Baptist brethren of tbo Northern States,
at ;tbeir approaching anniversaries, ex
pressions of our fraternal regard, and as
surance cf onr readiness to oo operate
cordially with thorn in promoting the
oauso of Christ in our own and foreign
lands.
Resolved, That wo respeotfuliy suggest
to them the propriety of holding, at some
convenient time and place, a meeting of
representative men from all seotions of
cur common country to devise and pro™
peso each plans as may best contribute to
tbemoro effioitnt working of the Baptist
brotherhood to the good of ell men and
tbe glory of tbe Redeemer.
A motion to table tho above wa3 lost
by yeas 38, nays 83. They were then
referred to a committee of one from each
State to report shortly.
Constitution: Governor Alfred H. Col-
quut, during tho past week, has received
at the executive department an average
of one hundred visitors a day. Nearly
all of them were members of the Ameri
can Medical Assooiation.
Can rr be so.—Chronicle and Constitu
tionalist: a party publishes an advertise
ment in tbe Hsrmony Groyo horror war
ning the public against employing Rufus
Johnson, colored, “who was sentenced
to the penitentiary and I paid him out.”
It appears Rufus agreed to work for the
man who “paid him out,” but after re
covering bis liberty violated his contract
and ran away. Tbe question arises, how
can a criminal be paid ont of the peni
tentiary of this State?
A Quaint but Substantial old Court
House —The Oglethorpe Echo saye; The
present temple of justice in this connty
was erectod in the year 1819, and was
then pronounced by Gov. Lumpkin the
finest court house in Georgia, and it wae
indeed the admiration of all who looked
upon it. Thero stands not to-day a more
durable and substantial building than
this. It was ereoted in those crude but
honest days when rings and shoddy work
were unknown. The walls are thick and
solid, the brick as hard and smooth aa tne
day they were laid, and the wood work
has an ancient but substantial appear
ance.
This house is most peculiarly con
structed. It is a cross, with ends front
ing to the various points of tho compsse.
We are told that the reason it was thus
constructed is this: Tho building was
first designed to be square, but four
prominent citizens, living on the various
rides of the square, insisted on the court
house fronting them. Tc satisfy all, it
was built with a similar front to each,
and the four contestants then decided
the location of the doors by drawing
straws.
That spy bad better heed tho above
echo.
Drowned while Fishing.—Savannah
News: Yesterday morning between 11
and 12 o’clock, a young negro boy was
accidentally drowned at the wharf of the
steamer Rosa. From what we can learn,
it eeems that tbe lad was fishing from one
of tho Btringers under the wharf, and
either dropped asleep while thns engaged,
losing bis balance, fell into the rlvi a, or
had made a misstep in moving about. A
colored man who was fishing from a boat
in the middle of the river, heard the
splash and immediately rowed to the di
lection from whence it proceeded, but
dis-overed nothing other than a hat,
which had tumbled from tbe head of tbe
deceased when he went down.
Up to dark yesterday evening the body
had not been recovered, although a negro
diver made a trip to the bottom twice,
and a grappling hook was used. Daring
tbe afternoon quite a large number of
colored women, evidently greatly excited,
visited the wear! to ascertain if tho de
ceased wae their child.
Sad Accident. — A youth named
Miobael Carroll, fifteen years old, in at
tempting to jump upon the cars of the
tramway on Tybeo IsUnd on Thursday
last, fell, the wheels of a car terribly lac
erating the flesh i f his left leg. H
was taken to Savannah and after a con
sultation between Drs. Duncan and La-
Hardy, amputation was decided upon ami
the limb taken off. Tho yonth at Isb™
accounts was doing well. We condense
from tbe News.
In yesterday’s Newt mention was made
of the fact that the steamer Arrow, from
Wilmington, N. C„ to Florida, which
had put in here on Wednesday, had he™r-
attached'for debt dne oertain partiec. m
Wilmington. Tbe attachment was issu
ed by Magistrate Russell, who had offlcni
Frank Campbell placed in charge of tb-
steamer.
Abont three o’clock in |he morn id.,.
offioer Campbell was aroused by Ih • r* -
t ling of chains and a jarring noise, ai dtu
his amizsment discovered that the steam
er had' got up stream,had swung off from
the wharf, and was heading down the
stream. He immediat-ly called upon the
commander. Captain Hemmlngway, and
protesting ngamet this action demanded
that the steamer ha returned to the
wharf.
The Captain very coolly informed the
officer that he had made arrangements
for a change of base, and invited him to
either take a trip to the flowery land on
the fine steamer, or to get off at once.
The predicament was unpleasant, as there
appeared no doubt that the Captain was
in earnest, and meant exactly what he
said. Officer Campbell, who recently
had the misfortune to lose his leg, there
fore remained content until Thunderbolt
was reached, when he intimated to the
Captain that he bad concluded to go
aBbore, at tho eame time protesting
againt this unwarranted action.
A plank was provided when the wharf
wa3 made, and officer Campbell was per
mitted to walk off, the Captain beiDg ut
terly indifferent to bis Indignant pro
tects. Tbe steamer then continued on
her way to Florida, where we understand
she baa been ohartered to transport lum
ber for the government ou the St. John’s
river.
When leaving, Captain Hemmingway
yelled “Good-byo" to the offioer, and told
him if he ever visited Jacksonville and
desired to ride on a steamboat, to not for
get tbe “Arrow.”
The amount of tho claim was only
$165, and it seems strange that tbs Cap
tain should have taken “French leave” in
this style.
The Alston Muedeb.—The LaGrange
Reporter says: We cannot imagine a
plainer case of wilful, deliberate, killing
with malice aforethought. The jurymen,
however, were on their oaths, and we
have no idea of impugning their motives.
One thing is patent; the reluctance of
juries, all over the land, to find men
gnilty of murder in tho first degree,
makes murder la the first degree com
mon.

A Tebbibls Operation. — inquirer
Sun: Yesterday morning Dr. Carlisle
Terry, of our city, whose reputation aa
a surgeon and extensive army experience
is almost universal, performed another
difficult surgical operation. It was the
amputation of the right breast of Mrs.
Warren Huff, which weighed five acd a
half pounds, and from which she has
suffered for several months. It was sup
posed to be a cancer, but tl^a surgeon is
satisfied that it is not, and has no doubt
but that she will speedily recover. We
trust he may bo correct. This will be
bailed with pleasure by tbe many friends
of Mrs. H.
Hobbible.—Cuthbert Appeal: Partfee-
nogensis, for ages thought to bo a myth,
actually occurred near Cuthbert a few
days since, as we are assured by a Cuth
bert M. D. He is unable to account for
this freak in nature upon &Dy other hy
pothesis than than that it was from ab
sorption or eaten in food—perhaps in a
plate of strawberries. Oar readers will
be patient, as the matter will be thor
oughly investigated and as elaborate re
port made.
Is it Dr. Tucket who is making this
racket?
Dead.—The Appeal says: M. R
Beacham died yesterday evening at his
residence near Cathbert, after a lingering
illness.
Crops in Suhter County.—The Re
publican says: In conversation with
various farmers, frem different section?,
we learn that the lato cotton plantod
since tbe heavy rains, have good stands ;
corn doing splendidly; hear of no rnst
in wheat, and oats though small, will yield
very well. The signs are quite propitious
The Lonoebt Cotton Stalk on Rec
ord.—Hinesville Gazette— Joel W. Smith,
who knows something about farming in
this county, sends U3 a cotton etalk whioh
measures eighteen feet in length. Mr.
Smith, knowing that we feel fond of the
sport of fishing, sent this etalk tons for
a fishing pole. There is nothing fishy,
however, abont this account-, for tbo
cotton stclk is on exhibition at this of

STARTLING DISCOVERIES IN

Unqualified Abnse ot tbe Bis

The Grand Jary hss been censured in
unmeasured terms for making en effort to
oorreot tbe great abates that are abroad
in the land.
Have these ready oritics, so eager to
condemn, reflaoted who this Grand Jury
is? Have they oonaidered that it con
stitutes the sole intelligence, culture, re™
finement, morality and piety of this en
tire community. Now, it is no excuse to
say that this faot was not known out

was not proper for them to disclose it.
These gentlemen constitute tbo busi
ness men of the county—in fact they do

should the not attend to the whole
business of tho community? It
isj idle to say, it is no bus™
iness of theirs to regulate the con
duct of tbe courts, the bar and the trav
erse juries. If it is not their business,
whose business is it ? While others have
grown rioh in attending to their own bus-
neae, these gentlemen may grow poor in
attending to the business of others—and
yet receive no thanks. Is this right ?
The laws of the land are all plainly
written, easily understood and are well-
known to the petty juries, Why should
the lawyers oppress the poor jurymen by
explaining laws—about which there is
no room for misconstruction? It is a
well-known fact that there is never any
dispute about the facts of a cbbs. Why
should innooent jurymen be tortured by
diecussing them? And when lawyers
persist in doing these things, in the name
of heaven, is it not enough to excite the
disgust of these good business men? It
is no reply to say that the lawyere are
learned m the laws or that they are gen
tlemen of culture, refinement and good
breeding. The emotion cf disgust is a
God-given one, and if learning, culture
and good breeding excite the disgust of
these good business men, why then they
have a divine right to be disgusted.
They aro abused for condemning the
frequent adjournments of tbe courts and
the continuances of obuscb set for trial,
for theabEences of witnesses, when every
illiterate Hottentot knows that if tbe
court went rght on and tried all tbe catea
on tbe dooktts there would be no use of
adjourning—Iha-.’s business.' To adjourn
for meals and sleep is puerile. Why con
tinue oases for the absence of witnesses?
Why not piok up another wituess and go
right on. Every decent court pnght to
nave a set of re-pe liable witnesses stand
ing around, to be furnished at ti small
sum, to be taxed as a part of the cosis of
tbe one?. This is business.
Some have obaiactt rizi d ths action oF
the grand jury as foolish. Now how un-
ju*tisthis charge, for while they re
flected npon the memory and conduot of
two dead Judges, they complimented the
living Judge. Tiiiwas smart. If tbe
dead Judges were on ths beneb, then it
would have been foolish to have said
whet they did. When the present Judge
dies ibev will say the same thing about,
him ind that will relieve them
rtom all charges of partiality.
As a matter ot prudence, is there
any safer or bolter timo to
taik about a Judge than after
his death ? If the man is reallj
-.tad, wh.it difference does it make to
him, and if the rumors of his death are
untru™, does it not show a fesrltfssness'of
-pun that- ought to excite our udmira-
tiu.
Tho grand jar; have been oensured tor
toying that the j.ett? jurieseft^n siulli-
Sect themselves. Is it- ju-?t to blame the
grand jury, just because the petty jury
makes a fool of itself 1
They say that the grand jary had no
right to crlUolse the conduct of the courts,'
the petty juries and the bar—they even
go so far &b to say that ths Rrancj ury has
no right to fix ths price newspapers
shall oharge for advertisements. Have
these complaining idiots overlooked the
amendment to station 504 of tbeoodeoE
Georgia, wh : ch prescribes tbe duty of
grand juries, and is as follows:
"It shall further be the duty of tbe
grand jury of Bibb county to take tuoh
ateps as will insure a speedy trial in Jhe
courts, end to prevent any unneotB3aiy
adjournments. It shall be their duty to
ereot a snorting post, and to direct the
sheriff to take 8ll lawyers under 30 years
of ago before the assembling of court eaoh
day, and to snort them; lawyers under
fifty years to be snorted once a week, and
these under one hundred, once a mouth,
and if this does not shorten their
speeches, it shall then be the duty of
tho grand jury to sow np their mouths,
and to use such other mild measures “as
may tend to shorten debate.”
Although the grand jury adopted this
amendment tho first of the week and
have seen fit only to gently rebnke the
gentlemen of the profession, yet these
good business men have been grossly and
unjustly censured for their moderation.
Some of the grand jury, while recently
in China, watched with much satisfaction
tho working of the rule adopted there.
Eyery judgo was required to have a
dozen or so revolvers lying on his bench,
and when the lawyer had exhausted him
self on the judge, the judge
was required to exhaust the re-
revolvers on the lawyer. But the grand
jury, out of kmdnesB for the lawyers, and
from the fact that the same rols required
all business men who were never caught
doing any business, to be shot, adopted
a milder measure, and still they are cen-
sured. Some people will complain at
anything. Bib Elevator,
remark?.
The above presents an amusing melange
of truth, fiction, irony and lots of fun.
This is no “funeral” of ours, however,
and we do not propose tb “pitch in” on
either side. But it may he well for “Bob
Elevator' to know that the Vox JPopuli
Vox Dei, the Olloi polloi, the rank and
file of the community are almost a unit
in favor of the rocaloitrant Grand Jury’s
declarations. This is eimply the faot,
whether or not the said Grand Inquest of
the county were correct in their conclu
sions and deliverances. Of course wo
could never, however, join in any disre
spectful allusions to the memory of tho
deceased jurists who so worthily wore the
ermine. Nor is it certain that the jury
really meant to reflect upon them directly.
They would hardly bo guilty of such a
solecism. As tho matter stands, it is
very pretty quarrel between tho lawyers
and the representatives of the people
Which 6ide is right ? Will the quid nunc 3

sanitary Action
The National Board of Health and the
Sanitary Council ot tho Mississippi val
ley concluded their labors in Atlanta and
adjourned sine die ou Wednesday night.
Tho following, whioh wa find in the Con
stitution, is a eucoinct resume of their
flual proceedings :
Dr. J. D. Plankett, President, called
tbe meeting to order.
The committee which bad been ap
pointed to draft propositions oonoerning
sanitary measures along railroads report
ed through their chairman, Dr. Kedzie.
The propositions wero voted upon in the
following order:
(a) Sanitary condition of depots, sta
tions, round houses, car-shops, grounds,
etc.
At all seasons of the year the depots
and surroundings shall be kept in a sani
tary condition, the grounds well drained
and free from stagnant water and decora
posing organic matter; the water-closets
shall be daily inspected by the local rail
road agent or official, who shall cansethe
floor, seats and urinals to be kept clean
and free from all offensive odor; the
vaults shall be emptied so often as to pre
vent any large accumulation of excre-
mental matter, and shall be disinfected
every week by pouring into tho v-ult a
saturated solution of the sulphates or
chlorides of iron or zinc in sufficient
quantity to remove all offensive odors.
The proposition was adopted.with little
debate.
(b) Quarantine stations on railroads.
Whenever a railroad train departs
from an infected station no person with
fever shall be allowed to take passage on
ssch trains. The baggage from such in
fected station shall be thoroughly disin
fected before leaving such station. At a
point not less than five nor more than
seventy-five miles from the poiat of de
parture from an infected district there
shall be an entire transfer of passengers
and baggage to another train of care,
which train shall never enter an infeoted
district; this transfer shall be made un™
der the superintendence of a medical offi
cei; no person with fever shall be allow*
ed to proceed on tbiB train, but shall re
turn to the point of departure, or be treat
ed in hospital at the place of transfer.
No sleeping car shall be allowed to re
main in an infeoted town, nor shall any
sleeping car approach nearer an infected
place than this point of transfer. Any
paesenger ca? leaving an infeoted place
shall be thoroughly ventilated during itB
passage to the place of transfer, by hav*
mg not less than one-half of the windows
of the oars open daring each passage.
The upholstered seats of passenger and
sleeping cars, and the mattresses and
pillows of sleeping cars, ehall be thor
oughly whipped or beaten (in the open
air co far as practicable), and brushed
free from all duet, and thoroughly aired
and sunned at the end of each trip; the
blankets and curtains of all sleeping cars
ehall also be beaten and aired in the
same way. The cars which carry freight
without breaking bulk, may pass with
out transfer, if the freight care are ven
tilated in each way that a constant our
rent of air passes through the whole
length of the car during transit. Way
freight shall ba transferred at a point not
exceeding 50 miles from the point of
departure, and tha cars from whioh each
freight haB been transferred ehall not
proceed further on the road, but shall be
returned to the city.
After considerable debate upon the
prinoipal points of the proposition, it was
unmimously adopted.
Dr. Wright then proposed tho follow
ing reeolntione;
Resolved, That the Secretary be and
hereby is instructed to oommuniaate to
the National Board of Health, and to all
local boards of health in the Mississippi
valley a oopy of the regulations adopted
by this association, with tn9 request that
the same be enforced as far practicable,
and as existing laws will permit to the
end, that uniformity of action may be
secured.
Resolved, That tbe members of this
association hereby pledge themselves to
use every effort, especially by petitions to
Oongress and State legislatures, to Becure
necessary enactments when existing laws
are not sufficient to enable health boards
to carry ont the provisions recommended.
Unanimonsly adopted.
Dr. Kedzie the nmoved that there be em
bodied in the series of propositions adopt
ed the following:
Daring the existence of an epidemic of
yellow fever the freight oars, after un
loading, shell be thoroughly cleansed by
scrubbing and sprinkling with osrbolio
acid or famigated and disinfected and
then painted.
“Ttuth lies In a nut-shell,” and “brer-
ir* is the sonl of wit.” To be brief,
win n the shell ia broken, the truth will
be discovered, that, the Grand Central,
on Brosdway, New York, now kept on
both plans, the Amerioan $2.50 or $3.00,-
and the European $1.00 and upwards,

Notes of a Recent Trip to
Southwestern Georgia—Wine 1
Culture, etc.
A brief visit to this region of onr great
State revealed the faot most oleuly that
the spirits of the |people are reviving,
and their materiel condition very znnen
improved. There is bread in tho land
and oorn for sale. Much meat also was
raised the past year, and the farmers are
turning their attention to the production
of small grain, fruits, sugar oa&e, rioe and
even wine. To Bhow how profitable this
last venture is to the grower of the grape,
we have only to givo the experienoe of
Mr. J. C. Martin, who is one of the most
enierpriBiDg ciVziha of Southwestern
Georgia.
"This gentleman is the proprietor of a
vineyard, planted for the most part with
scuppornong vines, ranging from two to
ten years in age. Of course many are as
yet unproductive, or are just commencing
to yield fruit. But stilt we are assured
by him personally that the yield of this
little vineyard already is one thousand
gallons ot wine, which sells without;the
least difficulty at $1.25 per gallon, eash,
or if bottled, at a heavy advance. We
have before ub samples of the vintage of
1877 and 1878, neatly bottled, corked and
labelled, which will compare favorably
with the brands of European importation.
Nay,they are even better;for here a perfect
guaranty can be had that no foreign in
gredients, coloring matter, eto , etc , have
been added, and you have indeed the
pure juice of the grape deftly manufac
tured and treated.
In the vicinity of Cathbert alone there
aie about 150 acres of vineyards, and the
area continues steadily to increase.
Mr. Martin, after an experienoe of ten
years, does not hesitate to affirm that tho
culture of the grape for wine, is the very
best bnsinsEB in a remunerative poict ot
view that the Southwestern farmer oan
pursue, and is by far tho meat pleasant.
Enthused with the subject he eays “ta
ken in all its branches and pursued with
proper energy a hundred thous&nd dollars
oan be made quicker than in any other
business within my knowledge.” In this
connection It is proper to State that Mr.
Martin’s vineyard is not fer calc—indeed
could hardly bs bought.
We found also that nearly 6very one
now is beginning to raise his own “sweet
ening” from Cuba cane, and syrup forms
a large portion ot the rations of the
freedmen. Many prefer it to meat
Rice too iB beginning to attract genera
attention, and when the fact comes to be
fully realized that any land, hill or bot
tom,that will produce ten bushels of corn
pa acre, will double the yield in rice,
and the latter, either pounded or sold
in the rough, is far more valuable, we
may confidently expect that this impor
tant cereal will b;oome a leading Georgia
s'^ple.
THE BALE OF THE M. AND E. RAILROAD.
As might be expeoted, quite a variety
and oontraiiety of feeling prevails in
Southern Georgia as to tho r«6nlts whioh
will grow cut of this transaction. Of
course Albany and Cathbert are chagrin
ed and diegusted, because most interest
ed in that slaughtered enterprise, the ex-
Siemoes’. Liver Bsouxator o« w-

The Philadelphia Times takes a seri
ous view of the probabilities of an exten
sive introduction of Chinese labor on the
plantations in the Southwest. It Bays:
Tho negro exodns from the South to
Kansas is working its logteal result. The
present evil from the movement is two
fold—first, in endangering the growing
crops iu the South, and. second, in ma
king nine-tenths of the deluded colored
emigrants suffering paupers for months
to come. The planters of the regions in
the Sonth where the negroes have aban
doned their homes are already arranging
tor Chinese to take the plaoes of the ool-
ored laborers, and no graver peril could
be presented to the freedmen. If Chi
nese labor ehall once get a foot- merSyreUovinhe

gone. The Chinese laborer is active,
quick-witted, industrious and frugal. He

nothing and oan live on next to nothing,

and if he is once employed in the South
ho will stay, and he will live well where
the negro, with equal opportunities, will
be ragged and hungry. The northern
parishes of Loniaiana have already en
gaged Chinamen to take the places of the
migrating negroes, and the New Orleans
Democrat announces that they “oan he
supplied at a rate much lower
than that now paid the negro, 1
and there is “no limit to the number ot
hands whioh oould be shipped on shore
ootioe.” Between the ebromo and circu
lar oolpoiteurs or Northern agitators and
the few brutal spirits of the Sonth, tne
freedmen have no peaoe; but as the Chi
nese are not voters, political agitators and
bummers will let them alone to attend to
their work. Ia this negro exodus, as in
all other disturbances of every kind in the
South, it Is the negro that suffers mosi;
bat the greatest calamity that oan happen

The Religions Press on the
Exodns
Nashville Christian Advocate.
This hegira means—
1. That the Presidential esnvats his be
gan. It is perfcotly obvious that this is ths
mainspring of this negro migration.
2. That a set of greedy land agents are
epeoniating upon the credulity of southern
ntgroes, and the excitability and prejudices
of a large class of p-.rsona Id the Northern
States.
3 That there is a class of shiftless and
vicious people in all communities that will

rioters, and thirty thousand BocUlists, in-
gersollitoj, and Communists of Chi. ago

groes do of the Booth.
4. That as long as po iticians look at tho
negro whol-y from a party standpoint, and
Christian people «1 ow themselves to ba in
flamed with party spirit, and to be swept into
tho party curtent, the adjustment of the re
lations of the two ra es on a proper and per
manent basis cannot he expected.

tension of the Brunswick 'aud Albany muBt expect to be misunderstood and mis-
Railroad. Per contra, Dawson is delight-
ed, and we are not sura that a feeliog of
8Btistaoticn does not pervado all the
towns on the direct line of the South
western Railroad. They reason that now
the old and odious discriminations in
freights ate probably to be re
moved, and a tariff will be ad.
justed predicated upon distances
only. We tru3t this may prove true. For
Mr. Wadley, with tbe fleroe Eufaula cam
petition out of the way, will naturally do
eiro to propitiate the good will aud pro
mote tho interests of tho original patrons
and supporters of the Old Central. That
astute railroad manager challenges gener
al admiration by the sangfioid and nerve
displayed in the late Titaoio railroad auo-
(ion. He proved too muoh for tbe Lou
isville magnate.
THE LABOR QUESTION.
The greatly overstated and insignifi
cant exodus from tho Valley of the Mis
sissippi has created no sensation in the
Black Belt of Georgia. The colored peo
ple there have their schools, churches
and farms, get a fair share of the crop
or good wages, and enjoy their political
rights. All can make a good living who
are willing to work, and the kindest feel
ing exists bitween their employers and
themselves. Fortunately, too, many of
them have a personal stake in tbe soil,
and besides have already experienced the
consequences of yielding to tbe solicita
tion] of emigrant agents.
THE FRUIT TR03PIOT
cannot bo called promising, though there
will bo a moderate supply of peaches.
Wo noticed that tho young peaches are
rapidly dropping, which is doubtless the
effect of the late frosts.
Ia reepeot to morals snd the absenco
of orime, no portion of the Union is more
blessed than Southwest Georgia. There
are V6ry few criminal oases docketed in
tbe oonrts, snd tbe jails are for the moa‘
part empty. This is certainly & good
sign. Revivals of religion also are fre
quent, end at this time there is a most
interesting meeting in Catbbott in the
Methodist Cbnroh. Rev. Mr. Eogliab,
the Presbyterian pastor, and all tbs resi
dent clergy unite with their brother Meth
odists in preaching tbe truth and seeklrg
the salvation of precion3 souls. This is
eminently right and proper. Seven-
tern have made a profession of their
faith in Christ, acd the interest ia not
being oonficed to Rsv. Mr. MoGehee’s
cbnroh only.
From tbo above, whioh it a truthful
glance at the condition of thiB undevel
oped, but great and advancing section of
our noble commonwealth, it will be per
ceived that the future la radiant with
hope to that erstwhile despondent peo
pie.
Lst them continue to practice econo

steads and every subterfuge to avoid the
payment of liwful obligations, and ere
