Tbe oration upon the “Influence of Religion upon Civilization,” was a review of tbe great events and governments in onoieot history, and oleatly showed where there was a deolino in religion and mo rality, governments and empires fell, and arc now almost extinct. Tbe speaker eloquently referred to the sentiments ot Washington, in bis farewell address upon this subject, and showed the effects of the isms at the North, which brought on tnelite war, to be eimilar to tbe teach ings of Garibaldi, of Italy, and at the present day. ot Icgersoll, in America. Tho la tin oration was well articulated and we presume appreciated by those who were suffiaientiy familiar with tbe dead language to take it in. The Scientific Oration on “The Air,” was trnly fci ntiflcally handled, bat in f-neh a manner as to bs intelligible to all present. Its nature, it; changes, the physioal properties and its obemical properties were all lucidly discussed. Ibis produc tion is deserving of publication as it gives tho tziuc of car climate from the United Slates raeteorclogcil repott. “Medieval History and its Commenta tors” was a masterly defense of tbe much abused middle and dark ages which had been greatly misrepresented.

In tho Superior Court yesterday the proceedings were of a more than ueually interesting natnre. The jury, which bad been out all night struggling with the case of tho State vs. Henry Shields, came into Court with a verdict of guilty of an assault and battery, with a recommenda tion to the mercy of tbe Court. The next case was that of Monroe Sanders, charged with tbe crime of murder The accused in this case Uonawhowas supposed lo have been implicated in tbe murder of Swamp Molly and tho man Davis some years since. The utmost skill and laborious faithful labor bestowed upon tbo ease by the best detective talent in the city have failed to reveal the mur derer, and the whole matter to this day remains a “dark and bloody mystery.” Several times the officers who have been working tbe affair np bave thought them selves in sight of the trne solution bat have been disappointed in their hopes. The whole affair since the news of the doable murder came to the city on a calm Sunday morning in September, ’74, has excited great interest among all classes, and its passage through the coarts has been closely watched. Yesterday the last man aecused of tbe murder was arraigned for his life in the Superior Court. The prisoner was brought into the Court-house looking feeble and infirm. The case against him was brought at the October term of tbe Court, 1878, and since that time and before, be has been in tbe county jail. Before entering upou tbe case tbe counsel of the prisoner filed a ap .. al plea setting forth that the accused was not of sound mind and demanded a special jury to try the question of his sanity. The plea Was traversed by the State. The special jury was organized and was com posed of George Stroyer, A. J. Davis, H. C Johnson, Daniel C. Driggers, Charles McLaughlin, John A. Berkner, George W. Green, George W. Stratton, John C. Yan Sycklo.H. hi. Taylor, John M, Alley and Frank E Harrison. Mr. Foster, the jailer, was examined as to the conduct of the prisoner in jaiL The counsel of the prisoner were also on the stand, stating among other things that the acouaed eould not even furnish them with a list of his witnesses. Dr. Blackshear, the oounty physician, testi fied to the general mental condition, and as an expert stated that according to bis jndgmont, the accused was undoubtedly insane. The jury found the verdict, “We, the jury, find the plea true.” The old man was accordingly adjudged a lu natic. and will be sent to the asylum. This ends the Swamp Molly cases. The case of the State vs. Calvin Clay, colored, who forged notes and orders on Father Bazm some months since, was called, and the needed acquitted on ac count of the insufficiency of evidence, one of the principal witnesses having died. The Gardiner case from. East Macon comes up this morning. BY TELEGRAPH. Column Exhibition of Randolph county.

The lawyers will keep up the disoussion and try and undo tbe tie, the old folks, that is, the bride’s anxious parents, say be shall not have her, but the bappy eonple seem perfectly satisfied with themselves and the wedding, and went np the .road like two cooing doves in soring time. The Chronicle and Constilulionalist.oom- menting on the affair wbicb seems to bave oreated a deoided sensation, says a son of Dr. Sima’ is Llentenant Governor of Mississippi, and further remarks: A Chronicle reporter interviewed both sides last evening. Messrs. Johnson and Lumpkin attorneys from Oglethorpe oonnty, who say that there can be no donbt as to Dr.Sims’ imbecility. They say that he was once one of the most aristu- oratio, intelligent and cultivated men in Oglethorpe oounty, bnt that bis mind and health began failing about three years ago, and he is now a perfect imbecile, without capacity to make any oontraot. They oite several examples of his mental condition and incapacity. They say that there can be no donbt that any j ary in the country will deolare him imbeoilo. Counsel for Dr. Sims’ on the other hand, deolare that tne Dootor is perfectly Bane, and in all respects oapable of making any civil oontraot. Aa an example of this they cite the fact that in a snit between one SwepBon H.

A Mutilated Bodt Found in aField. —Savannah News: On Sunday after noon while two little boys were playing in Carmichael’s field, near Fort Boggs, they suddenly ran npon the body of a negro man horribly mutilated. The lit tle fellows were badly frightened, but stopped to look at tbe remains, and dis covered that the arms-and legs had been cat off. 'Whilst viewing the body, al most transfixed with horror, they heard a rastling in the bushes, and, beoomiag alarmed, ran auray.

Walker county is all this and mnoh more.' It is a net work of the most beautiful and fertile valleys, some of whioh have lands equal to anything on the continent. MoLemore’s Oavo has farms that oaanot be surpassed. Thick of farms that bring 75 bushels of oorn, or a bale of cotton to tbe aoie, without manure. This Cove Is 25 miles long by 5 miles vide.

Governor CMquitt and Colonel Avery made a visit of a few days there, upon a general invitation of the people. Hon. Arthur Gray, the able youag member of the Ganaral A?3embly from Catoosa, ac companied them. We glean from them the gtatifjiag p&rliciriim tnat we have given. The facte about Walker county ‘are a revelation. The people are pros perous and law abiding. Tbe passage of the local option law ha* rid the coun ty ol the-evils of drunkenness:' It has- cheeked berime and disorder. It has thinned the criminal dockets to almos nothing. A few minor negro of fenses are tae s tapis of tho administration of criminal law. And it has become a byword among the colored offenders, jocularly repeated withnnetion by the people, that when the “Scissors Tail Judge,” Judge Underwood, gets after an offender he can come down. The Jndge wears a spike tail coat which gave the shrewd darkey tbe basis of the appellation. The Governor mad* two Smduy sohool addresses to large gatherings iq La Fayette and McLsmore’s Cove. We learn from Mr. Gray that be made a pro found impression. The people appre ciate warmly the Governor’s interest in visiting the various sections of the State, making the acquaintance of the people end learning the needs of the different localities. Mr. Wood, the former membar, introduced the Gov ernor in McLemore’s Cove with an ad mirable little speech, sajing that it was a noble spectacle to eee the Governor of a great State taking such practical inter est in the morals of the commonwealth and showiBg the preEtige of his high po sition in tbe great cause of religious teaching. The Governor is as fino and effective an orator as there is in the land. - Plain and practical, he is fervent and powerful. Making no ef fort at rhetorical pretension his addresses are models of simple force and effective argument, enohaining attention and car rying conviotion. Tbe Governor made a alight allusion ta the sneers that had been oaBt by several of the independent press upon his labors in this direction, and qni6tly said that be was not to ba deterred from the discharge of his moral obligations and the enforcement of the oonviotions and practices of his life. A good joke is told on Col. Avery. As the party were riding from LaFayette to MoLemore’s Cove, Mr. Dougherty said he heard a country woman say that the Governor could not be tho gentleman in the tiont buggy, a3 he locked too young, bnc that it must bs the old fellow in epecke, in the buggy behind. The party returned through Chatta nooga, and were mnch astonished at the aoiivity at Graysville, on the State road, The Grays run a lima factory, and lum ber, meal and flour mills, giving employ ment to a hundred operatives, and xnn- niog night and day. Vert many of the healthiest people keep themselves in such condition by tbe occasional usj of a reliable cathartio, and they give tho preference to Dr. Bull’s Baltimore Fills, as more fnlly serving their purpose than any other eimilar remedy.

Poison from a Spider Bite Devel ops Symptom* ot Hydrophobia Inn Young Han Bitten by a Dog Six Years Ago. ' Hinesviile Guette. I _ _ Bed Hill, Georgia. A local item in laat week’s issue of the Gazette stated that a case ot hydrophobia had occurred on Taylor’s Creek. As there has been considerable interest mani fested in the caee, I have concluded, if you will allow me tho space in your ool umns, to give jcur readers some account of it as it came under my notice. Mr. Cayetaso O. Rodrigutz, the suff erer, whose father owned and resided on Sr. Catherine’s Island daring the years 1871-5, was bitten by a deg on that Is land sometime during the year 1872 or 1873, the date not exactly remembered neither is U known that the dog was rabid at the time, or that it became so afterwards. No symptoms of hydropho bia were ever obesrved since the bite in 1872 or 1873, neither has Mr. B. been bitten by any other dog since. On the 3rd instant Mr. Rodriguez, who is living with Dr. A. B. Daniel, went to the post-office, crossing Taylor’s Creek, and upon his return, when near tbe bridge over the main creek, came in con tact with the web of a large, yellow spi der which had been thrown across the causeway since the time of his crossing over. The spider lodged in Mr. R.’s hair, juBt above the right temple in front, and npon an attempt to dislodge it, if stack its fangs into the scalp, causing a wound which could be plainly seen for several days after. The vims spread very rapidly, and by noon the swelling had distorted his features considerably. Dr. Daniel applied the usual remedies, thought to be good in such cases, and no serious apprehensions were entertained aa to the result of the bite. At dinner Ur. R. ate heartily, though complaining of considerable pain ia the back of his head and down his spine. It was also noticed that after finishing his meal he became very restless—shifting about uneasily npon hie chair. After dinner, the Doctor induced him to lie down, and administered a large dose of morphine. Shortly after this he became Btill more restless, tossing front side to side over the bed. In a few minutes more, a spasm or paroxysm came on, transforming the young man into a rav ing, rabid brate, yet terrible to handle. Fortunately additional help was near at hand, and in less time than I take to write these lines, fonr men had seized the now furious man, an4 a messenger die- patohed for other help. Upon the arrive al of sufficient force to manage him, he waBheldon the bed and then put under the influence of ether. This first paroxysm lasted about six hours, during whioh time, after the first straggles, whioh were terrible, and during whioh he exhibited superhuman strength, the snspioions of the attending pbysioian, as well as of the friends assisting, were awakened as to the natnre of the symp toms, and the terrible thought was forced npon them that they were straggling wiih a man suffering under an altaok of that dreadful disease, hydrophobia! First, a frothing at the month, then growling, barking like a dog, snapping at every movement and noise, snarling, and per sistent efforts to bite everybody or thing within bis reach. At the very first opportunity, when he oonid be got nnder the infinenca of ether, he was securely tied with sheets and oth er appliances to render him harmless against himself and his friends. As the paroxysm began to pass off he became quiet, and, at last, after six hoars ol nnconsoioasness, and moBt of the time straggling wildly, he awaked as one from a deep sleep—perfectly sane, himself again, without oomplaint of aohe or pain, exoept the rheumatic or moving pain from the left wrist—the place bitten by the dog years before—tbe scar of which is plainly'visible—toward tbe body. This shooting pain, proceeding from the bitten spot toward the body—more generally to ward me throat—ia laid .dawn in m^dlMd books as ene of the leading symptoms of hydrophobia. Mr. R. slept tolerably well daring the nigbt and was np the next morning at work as usual. The only thing ont of the nensl order—nothing wasnotioeable— was his statement that ha felt “so strong.” At oae time he remarked, “I feel as strong as a mule,” and, “I’m as strong ta two men.” During the afternoon of the seoand day the old restlessness returned and the un favorable symptoms were repeated. Then followed another paroxylsm Identical with the first, but lasting only about fonr hoars. All the actions, movements and behaviour of tbe preceding paroxysm were repeated with singular precision, hydro phobia Bymptoms being more strongly marked. And thns he passed through three successive paroxysms in three aueoessive days—in ths aitarnooa each paroxysm being followed by a wakening as from a deep sleep, with all hie faculties in. good condition. Then oame an intermission of •three days, daring whioh strong hopes of bis reoovery were entertained. On the 9;h instant, however, he w,&b taken With another paroxysm, which, although of shorter duration, was mnoh more intense in its effects. This was on the sixth day after the first attaok. Since this attack on the ninth instant there has been no other, and Mr. Rodriguez is rapidly re covering. There is mnch doubt aB to this being a genuine case of hydrophobia. I will only s’ata that Dr. Daniel is perfectly satisfied tbat the case is one of hydro phobia. Also, if the “books” described the disease correctly, then they described this case exactly. After reading a de scription of the disease, one could stand at tbe bed. where Mr. K. lay and antici pate the changes almost infallibly. As to the medical treatment I may say that the “hooka” state that there ia so known remedy. I will state farther that many of us believe that to the thor ough and prompt treatment given the case by Dr. A. B. Daniel is due the recovery ot the patient. There were given Mr. B. in a fraotion over four days, four hundred and eighty grains ot cinchonia; one half grain of morphine in connection with large doses of tincture gelaemium (extract yellow jessamins) every fonr hours, and at last one half pound ether. The Dr. has Mr. R. now on a oonrsa of bromide ot potas sium. The strangeet thing abont the whole affair is the fact that not * perceptible effect of all these powerful medicines is found in Mr. R’s. system alter the first beneficial effects paaa off.

MoLAJCE’S CELEBRATED LIVER PILLS FOR THE CURE OF Hepatitis, or Liver Complaint; DYsrsrsrA and sjck headache. Symptoms of a Diseased Liver. P AIN in the right side, under tin edge of the ribs, increases on pres sure ; sometimes the pain is in the left side; the patient is rarely able to lie on the left side; sometimes the pain is felt under the shoulder blade, and it frequently extends to the top of the shoulder, and is sometimes mistaken for rheumatism in the arm. The stom ach is affected with loss of appetite and sickness; the bowels in general, are costive, sometimes alternative, with lax; the head is troubled with pain, accompanied with a dull, heavy sen sation in the back part. There is gen erally a considerabla loss of memory, accompanied with a painful sensation of having left undone something which ought to have been done. 6A slight, dry cough is sometimes an attendant. The patient complains of weariness and debility; he is easily startled, his, feet are cold or burning, and he com plains of a prickly sensation of the skin; his spirits are low; and although t he is satisfied that exercise would b« beneficial to him, yet he can scarcely summon up fortitude enough to try it. In fact, he distrusts every remedy. Several of the above symptoms attend the disease, but cases have occurred where few of them existed, yet exam ination of the body, after death, has shown the liver to have been exten sively deranged. AGUELAND FEVER. Dr. C. McLane’s Liver Pills, in cases of Ague and Fever, when taken with Quinine, are productive of the most happy results.
