Telegraph & Messenger. WEDNESDAY MOKNING, AUGUST Hi. 1871. Tiic Snpreme Court* Atlanta., August 14. 1871. Editori Telegraph and Messenger: In my last I promised to give yon my impressions of THE StTTREME COURT. And, if it be not presnmptnons, I will tell yon what I think it f.honld 1-e; » nd then, wha t I think it is. Unimpsssionwl, unmoved by the heaving and oft-shifting waves of public preju dice, it should stand as •, 10 constitution and protect the rights of the peo ple It is before this tribunal an honest man nav always tread with firm step and buoyant heart in fall confidence of. its virluo and sta bility If to anything else onr pathway leads, hoDO murt’vanish, os from year to year the dark future shall unfold and bring in fuller view tho woes thst betide ns, and will ernsh with wider range, not only tho pillars of, bnt tho templo of civil liberty itself. The Superior Conrt Bench bad to bo filled from tho weak and erratic mate rials resident in tho respective circuits identified with tho State administration. This well ao- eonnts for tho utter destitution of judicial fitness on the part of many of onr judges, whoso opin ions command no reapoet,and hence the crowded state of the Snpromo CJonrl dockets. Wo nat urally look for political factions to be guided by the passions and prejndicos that spring out of their straggles to get and hold placo and power. This is an evil to which all governments have been more or less subject; and it would bo ex pecting too much of an onlightened Christian Ilepublic, oven if govomed by tho best intelli gence and by the classes possessing the most pnbiio virtue, that it should bo en tirely exempt from it. Bnt it is not un just or nureasonablo for tho pcoplo ■ to demand of the Snpromo Justiciary of tho State, that the garments with which their judges are clothed shall be koptin spotless whiteness, un tarnished by partisanship,unmoved by the pow ers above or the masses beneath them. This is the snblime consummation of the American cit izens’ hone. Bad passions will assail ns all, bnt tho judiciary must be impervions to their efforts. Evils and errors must needs fall thick and heavy upon tho country, bnt tho judiciary most rear her head aloft and stand erect, like the rock clad monntain peaks amid the infnri- ated winds of heaven. Let rings form and flourich with ill gotten gains, and dissolvo when hostile interests break the golden eirclo. Let dynasties hatch in the filth of evil times and fatten, and at last be poisoned upon the cor ruptions they produce. Lot partios riso and fall with Ibo ebbing and flowing of popular passions. Let administrations flourish npon their wisdom and virtue, or go down disgraced amid the elond of their errors and vices, bnt in * the name of jnstico and right, that nro eternal, in the name of n pcoplo doomed to misery whon these are stifled, in tho name of Gonstitn- tional Government, the last hope of sufforiDg, priest-ridden, power-enrsed humanity on earth, let the escutcheon of the Snpreme Conrt bear down with their history to unborn generations the unsullied emblems of learning, free from partisan bias, nninfinenoed by mixgnided sym pathy, nnawed by power, bnt guided and con trolled by organic law. Georgia has no native son in high placo.— The United States Jndge for Georgia, and tho Chief Justioe of the State Conrt nre Irishmen; the asaooiate Jnstiees nro men of Northern birth, thongh all are identified with her in interest and sympathy, and none of them wanting in expe rience and ability. It is a penalty imposed by tbs ruling powers, that tholeadingminds of onr section tiiut still bear faith and allegiance to troth and political virtne, and cherish as more sacred than tho profits of office the honor or onr people, are doomed to private life. The conrt has lost mneh of that impressivo dignity which characterized tho first twenty years of its history. The Jndgos each soem anxious to show their sagacity, by freqnently interrupting debate, by asking relevant and ir relevant questions in the midst of unfinished sentences and paragraphs of arguments pro gressing before them ; and by injecting hypoth eses of oases to bo answered impromptu by at torneys in the midst of their arguments/and often totally foreign to tho matter then being discussed. It not nnfreqnently happens that two Jndges are thus interogating at once, and the attorney trying to answer at the same time. Tho scene reminds ns of a batch of cross-road politicians, all trying to ventilate their ideas of tho science of government at once. This meth od of oolloqnial argument in conrt, is not only undignified in a conrt of this character, bnt tends to contuse that class of attorneys whose minds aot slowly and aro not ready in nn off-hand debato. There are a few to whom it gives an ad vantage. Questions intended to got information aa to facts to enable the Judges to understand the arguments are eminently proper. Bat those intended, either to show tho sagacity of the Jndge or confuse the member of his conrt who is engaged in representing a cause before him, aro distasteful—not to uso a harsher term to -express it. He has his tirno to be beard—it is whon he pronounces the opinion and places it npon tho records of tho Court. And a proper regard far the amenities between the bench and bar, reqnires that he should speak at his proper time aud place. There is more sorions objec tion, than that of judicial dignity and profes sional etiquette, to this practice into which onr Supreme Conrt has fallen. As long as the ease is open for debate at (til, the mind of tho Conrt ahonld be nnbiased, the feelings all impartial and the judgment open to conviction. This impossible after tho Jndge has thns pnbhcly engaged in a oolloqnial discussion with the at torney in his argument. He takes a side in tho case and ought to be on tho floor instead of tho bench. For, however honest be may lie, he is no longer an impartial Judge. It is the duty of the attorney to bring all tho facts before tho Conrt, refresh the memory of the Conrt npon the law, present decisions of other Conrts on similar questions, anil reason fairly as to his client's rights. The Jndges are paid to bear all this, tedions though it sometimes may be, aud thoy aro bound to hear it impartially. When that is done, their decisions nre received by the profession ami the peoplo and respected. Tho dignity, ability, integrity and fairness of this court, aro priceless jewols to the people; and nothing will tend more than the want of cither, to undermine pnbiio virtne, and the force and stability of pnbiio laws. justice a. k m'oay, Thongh not a native of, has a life-long identity with the peoplo of this State. He is the only professed Christian on the Snpreme Bench nud thongh innch abased, and n part of tho abase he rooeived was merited, those who know him boat have tho better opinion of his head nnd heart. He is a man of nerve, n bold and free thinker, and fearlessly follows the dictates of his judgment. His brain is of good size and active, supported by a durable physical consti tution. His mind, well stored with knowledge, is both speculative and practical. And if ho were nothing bnt a judge, be wonld be well qualified for the position ho holds. Bnt his prodileotions led him into radicalism—his tal ents in a party so bereft of real ability in this State, made him n loader—a chief actor in tho formation of the Government, and elevated him to the place he holds. <ft baa been tho gen erally received opinion, that he has been active and controlling in the counsels of the imbecile and oorrnpt administration that now curses the people of this State, shaping legislation and ad ministrative policy, and then sitting in judg ment to affirm that legislation and policy. If this is not trne, he is falsely accused, and the aoensation withholds from him the measure of pnbiio confidence that shonld bo awarded to a man of his integrity and ability, and to a Jndge of the Snpreme Conrt. If it is trne, now that he is in position, he owes it to the people and bar who respect him personally, and to his own reputation, to cut loose from these political en- tangiemonis and devote his strong mind and good heart to the office of Judge. If he will do th's his future career may be eminently nsefnl. If he persists in being a politician and jndge he will spoil both, and sncceod well nt neither. The relief measnres of the State Government have called down censure npon him. Resist ance^ their binding force has elicited praise of his associate. Pretermitting any expression as to how far political alliances and pecuniary interest may affect tho honest judgment of men, I will snggest that nndne praise, as well as un just censure, may have been bestowed both ways; that we now have mneh to forbear; and when tho smoke of these dark days shall have cleared away, and we can look back upon them without tho passions that are now excited by interest we shall see much that we will be mutually wil ling to forgive. JTaTICE HlfiAlT WABNE3 bas been long connected with pnblic affairs in this State, with whose people he identified him self in early life. Most of his youthful ootem- porories have gone to that “bourne whence no traveler returns,” and by reason of greatnatural strength and uniformly temperate habits, he is not only a connecting link between the past and present ages, bnt preserves much of the vigor and elasticity of his middle life. His force of character elevated him to the State Legislature at a period >hon the best talents were to be found there, forty-five years ago. After serving with distinction two years on tho circuit bench, he had practiced at the bar several years prior to the organization of the Snpreme Court in 1845. His associates of the first bench, Lump kin and Nisbet, stood in their lot and place, and fell at last, full of years and honors. They were eminent as lawyers, jndges, patriots, scholars, gentlemen—and last thongh most important, as Christians, and departed, ready for the great Assize above, and prepared to bo judged by their faith and ol»edienoe in Christ-Jesus. 'When Judge Lumpkin fell asleep, Warner was called to the Chief Justiceship of tho Conrt—an ap pointment approved by the -whole bar of the If when that court was dissolved by the edicts of tho Federal Government, he had retired, the breezes that shonld sweep over his grave wonld have borne to mortal ears no whisper of reproach upon any part of his life. Ho accepted the third rank on the bench with men born after he was a lawyer, perhaps, and who had never boon on that bench. This many of the bar appeared after he was driven to the alternative of accepting or refusing it. Bnt he songht nnd accepted position nnder Rufns B. Bollock, and was so far removed from his past alliances, and so nearly assimilated with him as to receive his favor. This, when his pecuniary condition did not demand it. When it was not necessary to fill np tho measure of his fame as a jurist. This is a historic plaster that will stick. For when the thousand tongues of his tory leap from tho influence of Federal bayonets and are free to record the whole troth, this ad ministration will form so black a spot on the annals of Georgia, that no man can have passed tbrongh it as a recipient of its favor without having his garments soiled. Bnt Judge Warner’s share of the reproach will bo tho least of all his companions, for ho has placed on record a lino of decisions which indicate his unyielding devotion to tho consti- tion. And while it is not to be expected that he should retain his mental vigor as it was a qnarter of a century ago, if there is any strik ing sign of tho old man about him, it is in the fretful manner in which he dissents from his associates npon qnestions of contracts, and the collection of debts. May his years be pro longed and bis honors brighten with the ad vance of time. CHIEF JUSTICE O. A. LOCHRANE, who holds nnder temporary appointment since the resignation of Chief Justice Brown, has been charged at the bar of the Senate of the United States, where he had no voice to defend, with boing the friend of “everybody.” H a life of nniforw politeness, a bland smile, n kind word, o heart and hand ready alike, for all his follow creaturos, an amiable disposition towards associates and opponents, a faithful effort to elevato himself in the profession, extend his reputation nnd increase his emoluments, and a manifest willingness heretofore to serve the public in official station, and frequent changes of political nllignment, make oat the charge, he must stand convicted. Bnt if it requires that he should have betrayed his private friendships, or proved recreant to trnsts reposed in him, the evidence is wanting, anil tho accusation most fail. Nor is it apparent that he has songht office with more perseverance than his accusers. A few instances, aniloDly a few, have occurred whore the choice of the Govornor was the choice or met the approval of tho bar and people. The appointment of Jndge Locbrano was not one of them. But ho is entitled to justice at the hands of his profession—and that re quires a frank ad mission that his bearing is pleasant, his treat ment conrtoons, and his attention earnest and nnremitted; and all the decisions pronounced by him, so far as I have heard them, show a critical examination and a clear and distinct un derstanding of the matters reviewed before him. He concurs when his judgment approves, and dissonts when he dissents in opinion from his learned associates. Those who favor the collec tion of old debts accuse him, as they do McCay, and as those favoring relief do Warner. If otherwise there has been aoy suspicion of a want of official fidelity, I have not heard of it. Men of literary endowments and florid style of popular eloquence—capable of moving the masses and wielding jnries—usually get the char acter of a want of solidity nnd depth. Many who are wanting in and sigh for these gifts are not slow in attempting to mould the character of their superiors. This is a point at which Judge Locbrano has snffeied. It is not, and never was, evidence of a want of solidity of mind that it was quick and brilliant. The dia mond, while it ontshines, ents by reason of its hardness. Tho diamond wonld need no defense, if charged by lead or brass with a want of solid ity becanso it shines brightly. In my next I will givo yon my impressions of Atlanta. Richard. Crops About Fort Gaines. Fobt Gaines, Clay county, Ga., August 12. Editors Telegraph and Messenger: I have seen mneh writing abont crops in the newspa pers, and mneh to disconrago peoplo abont Southwestern Georgia and its health. I havo not proapocteil mneh of the growing crop, bnt nronnd Fort Gaines the crops are as good as oould be expected. Cob It. A. Tnmipseed has abont twenty-five acres in cotton near town, withont manure that will make a kale to tho aerp. His corn crop on his place near town is good, and he informs me that on bis plantation, fonr miles north from town, he is. making a good crop of corn and will have several hundred bnsbels to sell after supplying bis plantation, and that on his plantation he will average a bale of cotton to two acres. Mr. Thomas E. Speight, who lives two or three miles south of tho town, says that ho has a good corn crop- will make more than enough to supply his place; that his cotton crop is as good as ever; that ho will doubtless make seventy-five bales, and his crop since the war has ranged from fifty to seventy-five bales, I believe. I notice other places abont prodncingaccordingto the strength of tho land and cnltnre. Col. Tnrnipseod has need no gnano, and f do not think Mr. Speight bas. thongh I have not heard him say. The health of the town and county is good —less chills and fever than I havo ever known in a county In this section of country since the war. Chills nnd fever are not an epidemic in Southwest Georgia—as some wonld make yon beliove. Nowif yon wishtosee as I have seen, and writo as I have written, and place the conntry right on the record, some of yon “pack off” down to Fort Gaines—spend a night with Dick Tnrnipseeil. He lives in tho town; and will take splendid care of yon, and show yon his crops and the crops of his neighbors. Then yon will be satisfied that wherever the soil is rich enough to make prodnee, it is there in nbnndance. Do not be afraid of chills. A young man returned from New York to Fort Gaines abont ten days ago, and is in fine health. Oth ers of the citizens havo been off np the conntry, for months, and say they can enjoy better health at home than abroad. For the last throe days mneh rain has fallen in and aronnd the Fort; If I never write again, the typo will not com plain at Coax. Miss Wolcott, the young lady who was in jured in the recent railroad accident in Charles town, N. H., hod a marvellous escape. When the train strack the carriage, she was hnrled above the top of the telegraph pole, her fall be ing broken by the wires.

Onr work stands npon its merits, and we think this a sufficient guarantee. We have secured the services of some of the best mechanical talent in the North ern shops, iu addition to some of the best workmen from the shop of the late Samuel Griswold. Mr. Chas. Gardner, who served eight years’apprenticeship under E. Carver A Co., at East Bridgewater, Mass., and who was employed as Superintendent of the Double Wells Shop, from the commencement of the manufacture of the’Sfoore Cotton Gin, until its suspension, is again at his post, and will give each Gin his personal inspection before it leaves the shop. In calling the attention of planters to our Cotton Gins, wo desire that they should notice the mprove- monts that we offer, which are substantially as follows: A PORTABLE ROLL 33 OX, Fcr obtaining any inclination of the Gin Bib or Grate, is used; the object of which is to improve in the quantity ginned, or lesson the quantity and improve the quality of lint Also, to gin damp or wet cotton to alter the picking or separating the lint from the seed—either to take more lint off, or less lint from the seed, as circumstances require. Wo use both the common Boll Box and a Swinging Front. The latter is arranged to let out all tho seeds and hulls in a moment, and is very easily managed. , THE GIN BRUSH We make, cannot be excelled by any hair brash used. The bristles are all drawn in by a cord, and the timber is all selected from tho best lumber, well seasoned; and every Brush is made perfectly fire and rat proof. CYLINDER AND BRUSH BOXES Can furnish either, as may be ordered. Wo line them with the best Grlisr SAWS. We make all the Saws that we nee from tho best English Cast Steel, and of any size that may be de sired We employ, to superintend and manufacture oar Saws, one of the be6t saw-maters in the South; and onr machinery for the manufacture of Gin Saws cannot be excelled. COTTON SEED CRUSHING MILL. We are the only snccesjfu! manufacturers of this important and useful invention the Cotton Gin, with tlio Cottou Seed Crushing Mill attached. It will hardly be necessary here to allude to theimmenso saving ami economical use of crushed cotton seed, as a manure. We received a gold medal as a premi um, from the Fair of the Cotton Planters’ Convention, held in Macon Ga., 1860, for the beet Cotton Seed Crushers attached to tho Gin Stand, to crash the seed as fast as it escapes from the Boll. We re fer to some of the many certificated that we have on the subject. TRIAL OF THE GINS. We keep constantly on hand seed cotton, and every Gin is tried before it leaves tho shop—old or new ones. REPAIRING OF OLD GINS. We havo a complete assortment of the very best Cotton Gin Machinery in the conntry, and make re pairing of old Gins a specialty. Planters wiff do well to send in their old Gina, aud have them made as good as new, at a much lees cost than a new Gin can be bought for. Seed on jour orders and old Gins early. We are also authorized by Messrs. Findlay’s Sons to receive orders for Findlay & Craig’s Screw Cotton Press, and Craig’s Patent Portable Horse Power, and Castings generally.
