A connxsposDzsT of the Augaata
, Chronicle and Constitutionalist says of th3
Grant-Nutting bill: Mr. John T. Grant
of Atlanta, and Mr. C. A. Nutting, of
Macon, against whom a verdiot of over
(90,000 was recently found, after suit
against them as sureties on the Jones
band, have advertised their _ intention to
apply toLegislatnre for a bill of relief at
the July session. The notice was a sur
prise to many who thought these gen
tlemen would continue to fight the mat
ter in the courts, where they seemed so
confident of ultimate success. But U ap
pears that they are trying to make a near
ent and avoid all the law’s uncertainties
and delays. It is rumored that some
of the moat influential men in both
branches of ths Legislature will cham
pion the bill for their relief. They arc
both gcod managers. The main reason
urged is the equity oE relieving these
gentlemen because they gave only a tem
porary bend, and were absolutely relieved
the moment the second bond was ac
cepted.

Sandibsville Courier: We agree with
onr esteemed contemporary, the Tele
graph and Messenger, that the statute
which confers the right upon the jury, in
anij murder oase, to recommend the
prisoner to imprisonment for life, should
be repealed. This law virtually abolishes
capital punishment, for what jury can
withstand the appeals to their sympathy
when it is in their discretion to save a
man’s life? Their sympathies can be
aroused even though the criminal be guil
ty of the most diabolical and atrocious
murder.
The hnman heart is not made of stone
—it is not without feeling—and when
that sympathetic cord which binds ns to
onr fellows, is once touched, wo too often
lose eight of the murdered man and his
widow and orphans and open onr
hearts to the appeals and anguish cf the
wife and children cf the blood-stained
oriminel. This law should bo repealed
by all means.

THE VET 3.
As I write, the roll is being called in
the House on tho passage of tha jadiciil
appropriation bill over Mr. Hayes’ ve
to, the renting .of which was finished
abont ten mitraioa einco. -Of course,
the requisite two-thirds will be lacking and
consequently the bill falls to the ground.
What next ? I em’t toll you, but very likely
the lightning will by to morrow morning
If the Democrats adjourn to-morrow or
next day, Hay os will oxll them oack in
twenty-four hours, and the battle ni l bo re
newed. Porhipa the appropriation for ju
dicial expenses for tho present year may bo
extended for six months and tho struggle
between Hayes and the honest peoplo cf tbe
country be adjourned until next winter
The vo‘e on passing the bill over tho veto
showed only 182 members cffisiaUy present
All the Georgia members who were present
voted aye. It is said that Mr. Evarta
strongly urged Hayes against avoto, but
that Sherman and Devons were too strong
for him and succeeded in pnttitg tuo requi
site stiffness in h'3 backbone. Tho EadioJs
didn’t seem as jubilant over this veto &b
some others, ana old Conger, Hairy White
and Keiffer looked real glum. They and the
other stalwarts aro mad with themselves for
voting for tho army bill and swear if it wo- o
to do over again they would oppose it with
all their might
After tho vote on passing the bill over the
veto was announced, Aikms moved an ad
journment, which was carried with slight
opposition, . and the members are now
streaming down tho h>ll towards tlioir lodg
ings. I had almost forgotten to menton
that Col. Nicholls, of the savannah'district,
moved to amend Atkia’s proposition to ad
journ until to-morrow by substituting sine
die, but the Speaker did not hear, or did not
wish to bear him, and nothing came of it.
What will be the end of this “ motion” is
more than I dare venture to predict Tho
easiest way out of tho woods see jib to be to
extend the appropriation six moath3 and
adjourn. We have carried our point w th
reference to troops at the polle, and the ex
tension projeot will not exactly be a square
back down, only a falling back to teke trash
hold next winter with more light on the sub

on the Radical side for a moment and while
there was buttonholed by a member evident
ly belonging on that side, who mistaking
him for somebody else, proceeded to enlarge
the liberty of tho feline se far as the bag was
concerned by saying that Crandall was
“rendering valuable servioe to onr party.
Mr. Crandall went out to Ohio to tho Co
lumbna convention, and be prevented

cratic parties. That’s tbe kind of work he is
engaged in; he is preventing the two p&rtlos
from uniting, and in that he is doing us
more good than any of our own papers. Now
h a paper moat go down unless we keep it
up, and it’s clearly oar int3reot to do so I
am raising a subscription to keep the Yiow
alive, and all our Republican members have
contributed generously. We expect you to
do aa well as others. Mr. Crandall is going
to the Toledo convention, and as the editor
of the National organ of his party he will
keep the Groenbaokers and Demoo.ats from
uniting. He is doing ns an immense amount
of good, and we must keep his paper going.”
When the Democrat went back to hie seat
he enquired of some of his neighbors who
It was that had taken him for a Radical,
and on pointing the party out, was told his
name was Hubbel', aud that he was chair
man of the.Badical congressional committee.

Hubbell soon found out hie mistake and was
naturally vory a alioilous that his “mistaka’

Predicting Hu Own Dzath.—Mr.
Nathaniel Boot, of Coventry, Conn., one
of the oldest men in that place, his age
being 94, died under very singular cir
cumstances recently. He had been ii
excellent health for one of his years.
He got up on the morningicf tho day he
died and prepared to go into the field at
work, when a neighbor came in, to whom
he said : “I’m expecting to die to-day 1”
The remark waa so coolly uttered that
the neighbor thought very little of it.
Mr. Boot worked all the foremen ia a
lot, appearing wtl‘, and went into the
house at noontime with bis hired man.
After dinner, and j ist as soon as he had
risen from tbe table, he started for anoth
er room, showing no signs ef illneoe, and
as be went out taid : “I’ll go acd lie
down and die sow!’’ No one enpooied
he was serious, but on going to Lis room
half an hour later he was found to be
stone dead.

Drank wlili Power and Pride 1
Cnarles Nordhoff, the Washington cor
respondent of the Now York Herald, him
self a Republican, diagnoses tbe case
of the so-called Republican leaders in
Washington thus :
The spirit of tho Republican leaders in
the Senate shows that it is high time, for
the security and peace of the country, to
have a change of parties. Like the Demo
cratic party in 1860, these men have
been too long in power. They aro drunk
with an nnpatriotie ambition. They
show plainly that they do not mean to let
go of the Government; that they regard
the country as their possession, and a
political defeat as a personal wrong and
robbery of themselves.
The impression which this debate has
made upon many thoughtful attendants
. upon it is that no party can be so dan
gerous to the country as a party led, in
spired and controlled by these men, and
that, if the Republican party appears in
the Presidential oanvass under their
leadership, it will be the duty of every
man who values the country’s safety and
peace to oppoao it and them, no matter
who is on the other side. The Repnbli-
cans uttered a foolish cry of revolution
early in the session, but your correspon
dent, whose duty it has been to watch
all the tedious debates of the extra ses
sion, and who has not failed to expose
to yon the folly acd weakness of the
Democrats, has seen nothing cn the
Democratic side, even among tho worst
element of that party, which at oil com
pares for wickedness of purpose, for des
peration and evil spirit, with the course
and temper of the leading Republican
Senators daring this debate."
Tbe Hall Harder
Is at last traced to its perpetrator, who
has been arrested aud confessed tho
ciima. The arrest was made in Boston
and a dispatch from that city says:
The murderer of Mrs, Hail, of New
York, was arrested here to-night, and' Is
now in the onetody of the Dolioe authori
ties. His name is Cbastine Cox, a copper
ed ired negro, who has been employed 43
a waiter for a year and a half in the
neighborhood ot the Hall residenue, In
New York City. This negro made his
appearance in Boston a week ago and
went into a pawnbroker’s shop, where he
disposed of a cameo set of jewelry.
About the same time, the Superintend
ent of Pawnbrokers reoeiveu from New
York a description of property, and this
set was found in a pawnbroket’s shop in
this city. Tho pawnbroker then famished
the officers with a description of the man.
The search which was then commenced
revealed the fact that Cox, after getting
the jewelry, went to New York and re
mained there two or three days. In the
meantime ho made a change of hiB cloth
ing. Mr. W. B. Balche, a newspaper
reporter in this city, had obtained a de
scription this morning, and this even
ing, while walking along Shawmut ave
nue, ha observed a colored man in front of
him inoompany with another man. He
reoognized the likeness to tbe description
of Ccx.
After a careful observance, Balche ap
proached him and inquired if he contd
direct him to Banker iliil street, and to
thia tho negro responded that he could
not, as be was a stranger here from New
Yoik, thns confirming the impression that
he was tho person wanted. Balohe saw
him enter a colored chnrch, and then
histened to inform the police, who sent
a detail of officers and made the import
ant arrest.
Cox made no resistance, bnt went
qnietly to tho police station, where search
revealed Mrs. Hall’s watch. He was not
reticent and said he had lived for a long
time opposite Mrs. Hall’s house and at
the time of the robbery he entered
tbrongh a lower window and went up the
etairs to her room. He said that his
purpose was robbery alone, and he did
cot intend to kill her.
ABighzbous Judge.—The Baltimore
Sun says the trial of Hill, at Atlanta
Georgia, for killing Simmons, the alleg
ed seducer of his wife, has resulted in a
conviction for murder. This conviotion
is in acoord with the able and earnest
charge ot Judge Hillyer,. who left the
jurylno loophole for escape. He told them
that suoh a killing, if done in hot blood,
and while taking the party in frayranie
delictu, was manslaughter, bnt that to go
after him and kill him was murder. No
injured party oonld be justified in taking
the law into his own hands, “and in the
chamber of his own mind judge and con
demhsuoh offender to death, and then
deliber ately become also his executioner.
The law provides other and juster means
for patting men on trial and for con
detuning and punishing offenders, and
any man who should thus take the law
into his own hands and with snch pur
pose and latent slay another, wonld
thereby become a murderer.”
The Judge farther warned th9 jury
against aocepting sentiment for fact, and
against taking statements of counsel ae
the law. “The court, is yonr adviier,’’
he said. “The conrb tells you plainly
that the Supreme Court has never deci
ded that a mu can thus avenge his wife’s
honor. If juries have occasionally dona
so, it is evidenoe of the weakness or wick
edness cf juries.” This brave and loyal
charge waa followed by as brave and loyal
a verdiot, ehowiug how completely pab
lio opinion bae recently changed in Geor
gia. Judge Hillyer’s charge has been
generally approved by the beet people.
An ex Judge of the Supreme Court said
of it: "He delivered the law literally,
and it is to hie eternal honor that he was
brave enough to do it. He has swept
away a sickly sentimentality, a false
chivalry that has bound oar people too
long already, and has pat us face to face
with toe law.” It ia believed, however,
that in thia case the victim of Hill was
innocent- of the charge laid at his door.

From one of their number. Major Wal

that our tecently eleoted judge,
COL. SIMMONS,

which he dispatchoa business, and the
impartiality and fairness of his lulings.
.We heaid a conversation also upon the
gubernatorial succession which as far as
is went might be termed a drawn battle
between Colquitt and Hardeman. Ei
ther of those gentleman would give gen
eral satisfaction to the people. General
Gartrell was nowhere in tho fight. But
it is much too early to take action in this
matter, which had batter be deferred to
tbe distant future, if wo would lay tho
ghost of division in the Democratic pat
ty, and prevent a formidable coalition
between the Independents and Radical)
of the State in the next election. No pri

pending in 1880. It was 4 a. m. when

The writer was not slow to seek his ac

GENIUS.
Mr J Gordon B adley, of thia place,
a jun n gentleman of rare ability and
informaliod, ban invented a chair, which
is won by ot notice.
It is a combination . looking and ad
justable chair and bed. The back aud
front (foot) piece, ate joined togethtr
by the arms and are ffixed on to the
stool by log-bolts, and work with a paral
lel Dteiemest. The chair is adjusted and
held by two ratobet=, eaoh of whioh work
from the upright post, of the front piece,
below the otms, to their ‘oorrespon ins
s.dea cf the stool.
The stool rests on rockers, at the baok
of tho rockers, are fastened two iron sup
ports or props; which when placed up
right npon tho floor, make the chair an
invalid or stationary chair.
The front piece ia made adjustable by
a thumb screw, working on either side iu
slots The foot piece can be lengthened
to suit the occupant, and by means of
hinges can be opened and shat. It is
made strong. Cane scat and back. The
hardware of it ia malleable iron.
Mr. Bradley claims for the chair ita

brings it in the reach cf all.

Yclcavio Fnzs Bill in Sicily.—The
hopes that were exciteu by the partial ces
sation of the eruption of Mount Kina are
blighted by a new terror. Tho volcano has
become more quiet, bat the internal convul
sion that has hurled through the crater such
prodigious quantities cf lava is evidently,
seeking vent elsewhere. Up to Monday,
shocks of earthquake had occurred at Mes
sina, at Santa Yenero and Guardia. A ca
ble dispatch of TaeaJay night reported that
these perturbations had been so violent as
to throw down houses and that thero has
been loss of life. But tne news last reosiv-
e J Is still mere disastrous. A violent earth
quake took place on Tuesday afternoon at
the town cfAci Retie, which is seven miles
from Gantania. Five villages are said to
have been almost entirely destroyed. Many
persons wero severely hurt in escaping frem
railing buildings, and ten were killed out
right. Great tenor is said to prevail in the
neighborhood, and the population are said
to be flying in all directions. ’While thete
events are occurring in Europe there are
reports of earthquakes at esveral points in
South America. Tho season is truly almost
as prolifie of these catastrophes as it ia of
murders and other fearful crimes. There is
perhaps nothing new in this. Such conjunc
tures are frequently referred to in our older
literature, both sacred and profane, and
usually with the conviction, expressed or
implied, cf a connection between the two
classes of phenomena; but our enlightened
age will, of course, refuse to accept so be
nighted a theory.
The New York Evening Post, a Republi
can paper lathes Conkling after this foeh-
ion:
A great statesman ecarcely could serve
three consecutive terms in the Senate of
the United States without making a nation
al reputation: but this man has no such
repntation. Ho has no political influence
outside of New York. He is rarely men
tioned beyond the borders of his own State—
never as an influential leader of the opinion
of ths osuntry. He has associated himself
with no great measure. While Important
exigencies ware catling other Senators to
their feet and identifying the names even
cf small States with pnblio policies, this man
was silent—no matter whether from igno
rance or indifference. He was known all this
time only as a dispenser of petty patronage,
a manipulator of partisan caucusoa and con
ventions. His strength was derived from
these senroes alone. At last, however, he
has made himself famous. He his attained
the proud pre-eminence of the only Senator
of New York who has adorned his speeches
in the Senate with words which would
