If there had been any progress in the legis lation in this country it had been in ex cluding from appropriation hills other matters as riders. He repudiated the so- called Democratic doctrine that it is prop er to seek redress of grievance by with holding appropriations. It had never out money.

The Court agreed to this, and the jury without being charged returned their verdict of not guilty, without leaving their seats. The associate counsel fully agreed with the Solicitor and the Judge, having heard the evidence, gave his consent, and the verdict of acquittal was rendered without further procedure. There was no surprise in such a verdict, everybody assenting without a murmur of dissatis faction. It was a clear victory for the ac cused. C. T. L. County Court. Yesterday the darkey Jerry Lucas was tried in the County Court for an as sault committed on Mr. Murray, of the Rutland District, who is keeper of the Tobesofkee bridge. The darkey arranged to buiglarize the store of Mr. E. C. Pearce of the Rutland District by taking the. screws from the hinges of the door,but was discovered and ordered to leave the county. Three men accompanied him on the rail road track as far as the railroad bridge over the Tobesofkee creek. Here two of them stepped one side to consult as to the best course to-be pwsued, and left the darkey alone with Mr. Murray. He dealt him a severe blow over the head and fled. He was subsequently arrested in this city. Judge Holt gave him yesterday ten months in the chain gang. —ADemoralizing Warfare. | The English' public'fbrtlltrpasrweek or two has been excited over a controversy I between Sir Garnett Wollesley and Dr. “Bull Run” Russell, so-called—that dis tinguished correspondent of the London Times, who won his first important lau rels in reporiingthe first battle of Manas- ses in 1861. Bussell has been profoundly impressed with the demoralizing influ ences of such warfare as the extremely aggressive policy of the government has committed the army to for apparently an indefinite period. In the tribal and predatory warfare which has followed, perhaps necessarily, these schemes oi local subjugation the bold soldier boys of Great Britain have become very unmanageable. They have taken to drink, and the liquor obtained is far from the best. It is gently intimated that the necessities of discipline require about half the column to keep the other half under arrest, and the line is generally far from straight. The social habits of all kinds are not correct, and in short the whole line of personal reminiscence, both on the part of officers and men, is fast be coming of an entirely unprecedented char acter in the British service. These sentiments are peremptorily challenged by General Wollesley, but the Herald points out the transparent fact that newspaper correspondents with an army are always naturally and extremely reluctant to say anything tq its discredit. But it is inevitable that the morale of any force must suffer from work in itself dis creditable. A force employed as a drag- onnade through neighborhoods and vil lages, is bound to sink into something akin to banditti. ifca* berry Sellers, in tlie lease affair, and Henry G.

Haygood, the venerable col porteur of the American Tract Society, has been laboring in Macon for the past six weeks, during which period he has sold and distributed books and tracts to the value of S36S.75. How much good these silent messengers will accomplish eternity only can reveal. Mr. Haygood is about to leave for Savaunah, where he will remain until a thorough canvass of that city has been completed. We be speak for him at the hands of the hospit able people of our chief seaport that cor dial reception aud assistance, which are alike due to his personal worth and the noble cause he so faithfully represents. In Memory of Dr. F. M. Kennedy. The Constitution says : “At the Tues day morning Methodist preachers’ meet ing held in the First Methodist Church, Atlanta, on the sad announcement being made of the recent death of Dr. F. H. Kennedy, sentiments of hearty sorrow were exchanged and the highest apprecia tion of the worth of the deceased was ex pressed. Dr. Kennedy became widely known and greatly endeared to Georgia Methodists as editor of the Southern Christian Advocate, and by his annual visits to the Georgia Conferences. His in- tellectuai ability, his genial manners, his Our telegrams made a mistake in an- pre-eminent goodness, attracted about him the admiration and i Heath of Rev. Hr. Jeter. Rocking m Trata. As the train from Atlanta was nearing Yineville Station last night some rascally boy threw a stone through a widow of the sleeping car, breaking the glass and strik ing a passenger on the head. Conductor Tom McLendon stopped his train, hut, the c&lprit escaped in the darkness of the night. Such an act seldom occurs at this end of the line, and we hope the offender will be found out and get his reward. , TT •'» I Funding the City’s Indebtedness.] It is deeply to be regretted that any dif ference of opinion should have arisen be tween the majority of the Bond Commis sion and the authorities of the city as to the propriety of funding certain securities, commonly known as the Ross bonds, and a portion of the city currency. Pending the decision of the matter in controversy,] which should be done at the earliest mo ment either by appeal to a jury, trial in chambers, or, if practicable^ arbitration, we submit that the necessary bonds to .cover the remaining $600,000 of the city debt concerning which there is no dispute, should at once be placed upon the market. Otherwise the credit of the city 'must certainly be impaired. And even as the matter stands already has a glamor been cast upon our city securities, and parties who recently were willing and anxious to invest in the new bonds are standing off; or have placed their money elsewhere. We repeat, the great hulk of the debt could and should he funded forthwith, that the world may see that Macon is in earnest in the laudable work Of redeeming all outstanding liabilities, and making her credit “gilt edge” once more. ' .The community are looking anxiously on, and hoping that every question in dis pute will be speedily and amicably ad justed. Since penciling the above, we are pleased to learn from a member of the Bond Commission, that yesterday $200,- 000 worth of bonds were passed upon, and will soon he sold and substituted for the new issue. We hope, ere long, to be able to chronicle that the entire debt of the city has been so arranged that it will trouble the taxpayer no more. The mod erate property tax and reduced schedule of licenses will suffice gradually, under the careful management of the Commis sion, to pull down our obligations, until; when thirty years liave elapsed, the city will no longer owe a stiver. Thanks to onr new constitution, all future debts are blocked. Our city fathers must “down with the dust,” if they wish to embark in new enterprises that will cost money. nouncing the death of this distinguished cleigyihan, on yesterday, in styling him Rev. J. C. Peter. It should have been Rev. J. B. Jeter, D. D., of Richmond Virginia. He was horn in Bedford coun ty, Virginia, in 1802, aud rose to the po sition of being the most distinguished Baptist minister in the South. He was for several years pastor of a laige church in St. Louis, Missouri, and subsequently of the Grace Street and First Baptist churches of Richmond, Virginia. At the time of his death he was the editor of the Religious Herald, perhaps the ablest and most widely circulated journal of his church in the South. He was a gifted and voluminous writer, and has written and published several works that bear evidence of a high order of ability and culture. He was President of the Board of Trustees of the Southern Baptist Theological Sem inary, and also of the trustees of Rich mond College. Profound sorrow per vades the entire denomination to which he belonged, now that this great man in Isra’el has fallen. The Status of the Rejected Lease. A Washington dispatch to the Savannah News says: In regard to the proposition that bidders of the Macon and Brunswick lease take the lease offered by Governor Colquitt, and trust to the Legislature of Georgia to protect them from any loss by reason of the threatened claim of six hundred thou sand dollars, when they have already paid the purchase money, the Governor was to day in telegraphic correspondence with parties both in Georgia and New York, and, no conclusion being reached, it was decided that he should go to New York. Governor Colquitt, in his telegraphic correspondence, informed the parties con cerned that while he was unable to give a warranty title, he was thoroughly con vinced that the Legislature would protect the purchasers. It is highly probable now that the sale of the road will be consum mated. A survey of tbe whole field leaves us without any further reliable information as to the degree of progress the Governor has been able to make in the re-habilita tion of the suspended negotiations for the' sale of the Macon and Brunswick railroad. His willingness tq proceed iu person all the way to Washington and thence to New York to consult with Messrs. Wilson & Co., shows an earnest desire on his part to remove all existing obstacles to a final consummation of the late bargain. In deed, even the lessees testify to bis earnest endeavors injthe premises. Failing to suc ceed in this effort, in view of all the facts of the case, and the ontspoken opinion of eminent lawyers, and public 'sentiment, generally, we should bold the Governor justified in reconsidering his first refusal and signing, the warranty deed which had; been perfected at so much pains and ex pense. :.-.W A few days we suppose, will suffice to. decide the matter finally. —The Greenbacker, S. F. Cary, says that his party has “ been damaged beyond repair” by the trick in Maine,” and adds that«the Brick Pomeroy wing of the party is the Jonah, of the cause, and has been the dread of the more moderate Greenbackers from, the beginning.” Brunswick on the Lease Embroglio. The good people of that pleasant city by the tea,-which Macon has done more than any other community by snbstantial tokens to build up,arej’ustiy surprised by the rebuff it has received in the very hour of anticipat ed triumph, through the refusal of a war ranty title to tbe sale of her road. Hear how the Seaport Appeal talks on the subject: THE RASCALLY $600,009. There never was a more bare-faced trick, or a more flimsy fraud than the shaking of those $600,000 of repudiated bonds at the bidders and lessees of the Macon And Brunswick Railroad. The road was seized by the State in terms of the law, for failing to pay the in terest on its endorsed bonds it was ad-' vertised according to the terms of the statute for sale; it was sold at public out cry to the lnghest.bidder, and the State was thei purchaser. Is there an honest or intelligent lawyer on the continent who will risk his reputation on a written opin ion that the sale did not wipe out all prior liens? or that the State’s title under that sale was not good against all outstanding mortgage bonds on the road. • rii - ■, Suppose the Central railroad- had been the purchaser at the sale—would any man stand up and contend that the sale was void, that her titles were defective, or that the holders of the bonds referred to could maintain a suit against the Central for recovery? Surely not. Has the State a lower status in the courts than a citizen? No. If then the State’s title is good, what but brazen impudence, a trick of the enemy, 'or a greed for black-mail could flaunt such a lie in the face of the Governor and his bidders? But that’s not all. The veritable $600,- 000 of bonds have been twice solemnly declared hy the Legislature to be fraudu lent, null and void. Now we opposed the repudiation, and believe tlie State ought to pay the six hundred thousand, hut that does not atl'eet the legal proposition that they are dead in law and beyond resur- •rectionby any court process known to American j urisprudence. And again: When a State parts with —A new industry has been started ift affection of all his brethren. On motion it wa3 resolved thatRev. Dr. Potter and Rev. C. A.

It affords us much pleasure to print the following richly deserved tribute to the honored head of Mercer University, which appears in the Columbus Enquirer-Sun: We were much gratified to meet in our city yesterday, Rev. A. J. Battle, the President of Mercer University, located at Macon. We think the Baptists of Geoigia did a wise act in placing him at the head of their institution. We have been under his instretion at other colleges and know that he possessed the esteem and confidence of every student. He is a gentleman in the truest sense of the word, and possesses a. personal magnetism that is very winning. A Christian without affectation, a minister with rich thoughts and handsome, effect ive delivery, a learned, scholarly instruct or, who imparts his information in a clear, Iuminious manner so as to be grasped by the intellect, he possesses a warm, generous, affable manner that, while at tracting regard and insuring trust, never would tempt to familiarity, because con trolled by a gracious dignity. Such was the impression created in us years since in wilder days than now, and the admi ration has but heightened with the growth of seasons. He is a peer among the able and cultured. We know of none under whose care the youth can be placed for training aud education with greater safety and more implicit confi dence. The university over which he pre sides is the equal of any.
