Telegraph & Messenger, TUE8DAY MORNING. NOV. 7, 1871. Exit Kryxxy! Oar good*; meditation* were much saddened by the snnoaneement made la the Washington telegrams of the night before, that we were to give np Krjxsnowaki, that sweet saint of in- tenaeet lollty and broken Engliah who baa been aoperriaing the collection of the Federal re To nne in this State for two or three years past We could hare stood almost any other blow, but this quite unmans us. Kryzxy was one of our pets—be was so loyi and so honest Why, they said when ho oame oat here, that the whisky ring in New York dly had caused his remoral from that held because they couldn't buy him. Such stubborn rirture was preposterous—it was disloyal, and proper representation being made *at Waahington of the enormity of his principles, be was exiled to Georgia to cultirate the man and brother and make himself generally useful as a man of all work for Grant This was his reputation as we beard it when first our eyes were blessed with sight of him. Well, he did cultirate Sambo, sure enough, proring himself one of the meanest, most sin- dietire and unscrupulous of all the gang of Bad- ioal incendiaries and malignants erer romited upon Southern aoit We bare bad some little experience with this sort of cattle, but Kryzxy topped them all in the lack of erery character, iatio that ought to belong to an official whose business it was to show, sometimes, and after some sort of fashion, that he was the serrant of a gorernment and not of a party, exclusirely. Ilia last appearance as one of Bullock's election Inspectors in this city last December, is, doubt less, well remembered by our citizens; when, by bis unblushing, audacious efforts to innte frauds upon the ballot box by the negroes, he so outraged public sentiment as almost to incur personal punishment at the hands of those who witnessed his oondoct Since then we lure not beard much of him, but now be burets upon our tear-filled eyes minus bis scalp, with a New Hampshire carpet-bagger in the distance hold ing it np and executing a triumphant war dance in jubilation over his victory. And saddest of all, the explanation is that Kryzxy was suapdcted of "financial irregnlarlUea!" Weahail never get over thal. That a man ao thoroughly hateful in every other respect should turn out to bo a developer, too, is more than we can stand. Farewell, Kryz* zy! and may the devil fly array with you. Turner on tbe Rampage, A report oomes from Atlanta that "Bov. H. * 11. Tumor," maddened by the loss of his seat in the House from this county, and swearing ven geance against Georgia, rushed before the Ku- kluz Committee in Atlanta, and exhausted his malioe, impudence end capacity for falsehood in “a testifying speech" Iwfore that body. Tur ner's evidence, if admitted to the mass of gar bage which the committee has gathered, will set the whole collection in a ferment and nan- aaate ail honest men. We shall not attempt to rival the American Union and other pipers of Turner's own party in the Sonlh, in their expo sition* of tho character of this “wretched nig ger.” They bare held him np sufficiently as tit representatire of whatever it impudent, mendacious, hypocritical, leeberons and dis honest—the impersonation of a Northern car pet-bag negro bummer, who has "made his pilo” by deceiving, imposing and preying upon those of bis own oolor in Georgia who srere ig norant enongb to be deluded by his clumsy raw eality. The decision which cost Turner and bis fel low members their seats in the House from Bibb oounly was so patently just and inevitable, that in the original list ot members, prepared by the Secretary of State, doubtless under the direction of Bnllook, they were never named. The names of the ooutestants (Messrs. Boss, Nutting and Baoon) were put npon that official list, but subsequently erased, and those of Tnr- ner, Fitzpatrick and Pollock inserted.* But we doubt if the latter ever held certificates of elec tion—or held them before Bullock's flight. The frauds were so notorious—the testimony elieited in the official canvass so conclusive, that the de oision waa a foregone ooncluaion. A t'aurus IVoinliiallon. We feel warranted in saying that there is no good ground, whatever, to justify the very com- mou apprehension of a legislative caucus nom. {nation of Governor in ovent a bill ordering the eleotion shall pass that body. Such a nomina tion although, perhaps, in the ontset, favored by a few member* under the idea that there would not be time to assemble a State Conven tion, really has no supporters now; and the final passage of the law will be followed at onoe by a call for a State Convention by the Chair man of ths State Democratic Executive Com mittee, who has been invested by the Committee with full authority for that purpose should the contingency arise. We hope there will be no difficnlty in the pas sage of the bill, or opposition to it by the act ing Governor. Should Mr. Conley oppose it, however, it must run the gauntlet of an Execu tive veto, and that might be fatal to the bill in the Senate. We shall see. Messrs. Clifford Anderson and A. O. llaeon. The action ot those gentlemen in consenting to serve as oocnael for the State in the late lease of tho Macon and Western Bailroad bv the Georgia Central has been subject to animadver sion in several instances. We propose to show the injostioe of these strictures; A barrister or legal practitioner who solicits publio patron age, tenders his services to the oomm unity at large. He ia not in the pay or employment of any special individual, eitizsn, or corporation Nor has the politics, color, or antecedents of bis client any connection with bis duties ia the premises. Hia legal acumen and abilities are simply offered to all who have need of them and are willing to pty the customary fee. To assume the ooutrery would, in effect, rule out all par sons suspected or charged with criminal of fenses from the benefits of counsel. Indeed, it ia impossible to arrive at a correct judgment of tho guilt or innocence of any individual or the justice of any litigated question npon ex parte testimony. How, then, can aueh matters be determined, save by the employment of law yers on both aides ? Wo bold then, so long as the professional card of a practitioner ia before the public, he has no right from mere prejudice or disinclina tion to refuse his legal aervioes to any client, unless the uoparalled enormity of the case be patent npon its face. In tho instance referred to, the head and front of the pretended offence is that Bullock was a Kadi cal, and it waa giving aid and comfort to that party by consenting to act as bis counsel. In point of fact, Messrs. Anderson and Bacon were not retained by Bollock himself, but were selected under authority of the State by Messrs. Kisbeta A Jackson and Whittle A Guatin, coun sel for the complainants, to aid in the prosecn- tion of the case. We regard this, however, as entirely a sec- ondary question. A former decision of the Su preme Court, sustained by the opinion of learned counsel, and backed np after elaborate argu ment by tbe written decision of Judge Alexan der, avera that the State of Georgia was an in forested party in this suit. Such being tbe fact, was the circumstance that ths Executive chanced to be a Badical sufficient reason to estop all in telligent counsel from esponsing tbe cause of tbeir native State? We are not prepared to subscribe to any such illiberal dogma. Intolerance is alike rep rehensible in polities aa well as religion, and we submit that too often is the real cause of progress and liberty cramped and retarded by the narrow prejudices and bigotry of those who assume to be zealous in their behalf. Messrs. Anderson and Bacon are as true Democrats, and as firmty wedded to tbe inter ests of Georgia aa any of her sons. They are men “tans pear—tans reproehe.” The above explanation of their eourao in tbe late suit waa made without solicitation, and as a matter of sheer joatiee to two of our most worthy citizens. 'Hie Gnberiiatorinl Question. Tbe Atlanta New Era moderates its tone on the Gubernatorial Question, and says: The resignation of Gov. Bollock took effect on Monday, the 30th day of October—two days before the members elect of the present Gene ral Assembly convoked for tbe purpose of organ ization. It was therefore two days before the present Legislature bad a legal existence. It was, then, during the legal existenoe of the old Senate, of which Mr. Gonley was President, and of which he ia still a member, be having been elected for the long term. Ucder these circumstances, the new Legisla ture decided that Mr. Conley, and not tbe new President of the Senate, is ex offieio Governor, entitled to exercise tbe duties of the Executive, until a successor can be elected and qualified. We think that, under all the circumstances, an election to fill the unexpired term meets with objection from no one, except only aa a legal question growing ont of Article IV, Section II, Paragraph II of the Const imtion. Nor is this detect peculiar to the nets Constitution of tbe State, adopted in J8C8. Tbe name danse, in identically the same words, occurs in the old Constitution, Article HI, Section II, Paragraph II. How to get round this constitutional barrier is now the question. In our opinion it cannot bo done except npon the hypothesis that the ex traordinary emergency justifies the Legislature in jnmping over tbe constitutional obstruction. Whether tbe necessities of the ease will justify this, is, as we think, tbe only practical question now involved. During tbe past history of Georgia, no less than four Presidents ot the Senate became, ex offieio, Governor of the State; and all these served out tbe terms for which their predecessors were elected. Mr. Conley makes the filth; but whether the precedents in the case of the four vacancies mentioned will be followed, or a new election ordered, will, ot coarse, depend upon what the Legislatnrn con ceives to be tbe necessities of tbe case. Should in .their opinion, this necessity override tbe constitutional barrier to the immediate quaiifi cation of a successor, as well as tbe precedents in tbe case of Governors Emanuel, Irwin, Bahun and Talbot, then an eleetion will be ordered to take place sometime in December next. The constitutional question we have hereto fore allnded to. It iB so deficient in merit as barely to deserve grave consideration. Both the old and the new constitutions of Georgia left this question of ordering tbe eleetion of a Governor to fill an nnexpired term, or of per mitting the President of the Senate (as acting Governor) to fill out that term, entirely to the discretion of the Legislature. They can either order an election or refrain from ordering it, as the publio interests in their judgment re quire. In this esse, the disposition to order a new election is naturally universal among the Dem ocrats—and why? The State has been well- nigh financially ruined by an administration in which Mr. Conley was an important function ary. A Governor has just fled from publio justice with whom Mr. Conley is well under stood to bold tho most intimate personal, as he is acknowledged to hold tbe closest party and official, relations. Messrs. Bollock and Conley have moved hand in band in the whole lament able course of State maladpiniatration which plunged the State of Georgia (but lately almost free of debt) into sea of financial embarrass ments which will mortgage the labor of the people for the next generation. Is it to be ex pected that be can or will work heartily to de tect and remedy the wrong—to pnnish fraud and extravagance, and to return to the era of a strict economy and accountability ? Whatever Mr. Conley may think to be his of ficii rights in the esse under the constitution, is not too much to ssy that, under these cir cumstances, a high-minded and patriotic man should bo the last to insist on the virtual pro traction of a State administration abandoned by its chief as incapable of defence or explanation. He shonld be eager, under such circumstances, to retnrn a trust devolved npon him by the constitution, to the people. THE GEURtiit PRESS. fJrnntl CoIlnpHO ot Nontti Carolina Cnrpct-ilnglMin In Wall Street It will be seen by the morning dispatches, that the carpet-bag plunderers of South Caro lina are in New York endeavoring to cover np their tracks and secure tbeir plunder. Accord ing to the World, who has looked into the mat ter, over twenty millions of State bonds have been printed and fraudulently issued, for the negotiation of which, the financial agent holds claims against the 8tate to the amount of $4, 000,000. Scott issues a manifesto claiming that nine millions ot these bonds have never been signed or issued; but who can believe a word of what he sayi ? We fear the old State is gone up at last—a victim alike to Badioal fraud and tyranDy. The best wo can hope for is, that the money loss will fall on tbe K*diesis who back such wholesale swindling with government bay onets. Surely the devil of fraud and villainy has broke loose, and is raging open-mouthed all over the eountry. Et-rcnoxs To-Dax.—Elections will be held in the following States to-day ■ Massachusetts, New York, New Jersey, Maryland, Virginia, Mississippi, Illinois, Wisoonsin, and Minnesota. In Massachusetts, Minnesota, Wisconsin, New Jersey, and Maryland, a full State ticket, in cluding Governor, and also members of the Legislature, will be chosen. In New York, State officers—exoept Governor—and members of tbe Legislature will he eleoted. Mississippi and Virginia will elect Legislative and county offi J ears, and Illinois a Congressman at large to ill Senator Logan's vacancy, will be elected, and also a Congressman from the 6th district to fill a vscaaccy caused by resignation of the member elected last year. Ciovxa Ctrax or Cixcxa.—The Knoxville Press and Herald contains a letter from A. B. Watkins, of Brooks county, Ga., to Msj. D. A.

Mr. Watkins bad ay plied to Maj. Carpen- ter for the clover which worked this cure, and »o* writes again for five Oliver sufferers in th.t vicinity.

They state that tbe prosecution of the polygamists ia in juring business very much, that Eastern oapi. tailsta who went there to invest in mining inter ests arc leaving, and that tbe Gentiles are cur tailing tbeir business operations and sending their wives and children to places of safety. It added that the Government baa recently sold these very Mormons old muskets for a dollar apieoe, and that if war oomes, the Mormons will present a formidable front, though it is not im- irobable that they msy all emigrate to Mexioo. t ia stated that not twenty Gentiles in Utah favor the prosecution ot the Mormons, and that even the Federal military authorities are indif ferent to it on the surface, and at heart opposed it. These representations will have no effect, it was decided in the Cabinet meeting on Tuesday to continue the present policy. Gov. Bullock.—The Washington dispatches the Western papers contain tbe following: Wasuxngton, November 3 —Gov. Bollock doesn’t seem to be meeting with any greater en couragement at the bands of the Bepublicans in New York than he did here. While in ronver- Uon with a distinguished Republican Senator this city, a few days since, he said that he was .boat to resign, in order to escape the Derse- cutiona of his enemies. Tbe reply made to him was that, if be was innocent *be would have nothing.to fear and especially with the National Administration to back him and to afford him both protection and redress. By fleeing from justice Baliock has disgusted what few influen tial friends he had here, and his oondoct since his abdication has convinced the most skeptical that he is guilty of all the charges preferred against him by the indignant people of Georgia. T. W. J. Hill, tho new Secretary ef the Sen ate, is running a very economical schedule, having only two assistants— Means. T. B. Cab- anire, of Monroe, and W. A. Little, cf Talbot. Sam Fuller, a oolorad disciple of Beast Butler, thinking that while so much stealing waa going on aronnd Atlanta he might aa well have hia whack, broke Into tbe State Koad depot last Friday night and bagged $500 belonging to M.

Blodgett, son of CapL Foster Blodgett, who was General Purchasing Agent for the Western and Atlantie Bailroad during tbe Blod gett administration, was arrested and brought before Judge W. M. Butt. Major McCalla swore, in the affidavit, that from tie boat of his knowledge and belief, be was a cheat and awin- dter in that: On the 13th and 2Gth September, ]5th and 21st November, and on the 24th and 28'h December, 18T0, be did, by and through artful means and deceitin' practices, obtain from tho Treasury of the Western and Atlantio Bailroad $7,411 29. The prisoner waived ex amination, and gave bond for $2,000 tor his appearance at oonrt, Mr. A- T. FiuLey becom ing bondsman. The Era, same date, says: Abbzst or Ku Klux.—On ths night of Tues day last, October 21st, tbe following named parties were arrested in Harsh on and Polk oonnties by Capt. Stiles, Dopn'y U. S. Mar shal, on a bench warrant issued by tbe United States District Court, charged with being Kn- Klnx, viz: David Lowry, William Fincher, M. Monroe, James Casey, Thomas Casey, T. Thomas, and John Gilpin. The party was brought to thia city and lodged in jail day be fore yesterday. The prisoners were brought before United States Commissioner Smith, for a bearing, when the following gave bail in the sum of $3000 each and were released: M. Mon roe, David Lowry, James Casey and Thomas Casey. The others failing to give bond, were returned to prison. Tbe Constitution, cf Sunday, says it is tu mured that Henry Clews A Co., bunkers of New York, have taken the Brunswick and Albany Bailroad, and will pay off its indebtedness and make the bonds all right. The Hon. Solomon Cohen, of Savannah, who was attacked with paralysis at A nr eta, a few days since, is much better, and » <■ 'o have re turned home on Sanday. Tbe negro woman who was to sev--i aly burned by the non-explosive oil at Savannah, on Wednesday night, died Saturday morning. The Advertiser, of Sunday, says Bobb, the carpet-bag Collector of Customs, at Savannah, reached there the morning before, and haying learned that “true bills had been found against him by tbe Grand Jury of the United States District Court at the August adjourned term, presented himself to the United States Marshal shortly after his debnt Beirg allowed to go on parole, he Bought ont his bondi-men, all of whom presented themselves at tbe Custom House at half-past one o’clock yesterday and attached their signatures to the collector's bonds in the sum of-$5,500. •Two true bills were found, < no for embezzlement, for which he was held in the sum of $5,000, Dr. J. J. Waring and W. M. Davidson as sureties; on the second, charge of conspiring with others to defrand the Govern ment of publio moneys, he was held to bail in tbe sum of $500, General Henry U. Wayne and A. Gomm as sureties.” The Southern and Atlantio Telegraph line- just established—is meeting with bad iuck at the very start. Two of its operators at Savan nah—McCormack and Nichols—vamoosed Satur day night with $1,200 or $1,500 belonging to tbe company. They left only fifteen cents in tbe treasury. The Columbus Sun, of Sanday, says: The passenger train which left Columbus Friday st 2 p. m., owing to a safety rail being loose, jumped tbe track at Blackman's Crossing, near Seale Station, Alabama. Tbe enRine was precipitated down an embankment. The en gineer, Mr. James Curry, one of the most skilled and careful on tbe road, bad three or fonr ribs broken. Mr. Davidson, the fireman, was killed instantly. Mr. Jones Doras, the wood passer, was badly hurt. One passenger reoeived slight injuries. The express car was damaged. The remainder of the cars were brought bsok to the city by the 5 a m. grave! train yesterday. Thomas Swilling, of Marion county, had his leg broken, at Colnmlms, on Saturday, by his horse falling down. t We find the following in tbe Atlanta Consti tution, cf Sunday: L. O.

If this is true, by what right does bo hold his seat as a member of the Legislature from Macon county ? The matter shonld certainly be inves tigated. Gen. Toombs Inlervleiveu Again. H. J. Bedfield, correspondent of tbe Cincin. nati Commercial, while in Atlanta n few weeks since, Interviewed General Toouibs. From his report we extract as follows: I asked him abont tbe reported interview be bad a few months ago with tb? correspondent of the New York Tribune. "Ob,* said he, as he tossed back his lonj: locks, displaying a forehead broad, high ant foil, “ob, that waa two-thirds lies. I saw at a glance that the correspondent was a stupid fel low, and asked him if he wasn't afraid to he in a Ku-klox district. A man was pointed ont to him on tbe street as being the Grand Cyclops of tbe Kn-klnx in Georgia. The whole thing was a joke. A while before some boyy. drunkards and negroes got into a little row down abont the depot, but it didn't amonnt to anything, no harm was done exoept perhaps a nigger or two waa kilted, and at that time the man that we Minted ont as the grand commander of the Ku- dux hid behind a cotton bole. The commander Baid that he would protect the Tribune corres pondent from all violence, and judging from the haste he made to protect himself behind a cot ton bale, he was a fit subject to protect others. After a conversation with tbe correspondent, I was on my wsy home when I met him on the street, and he gave me a letter of introduction from a friend in Augusta, having previously for gotten it. I then tock him home to tea with me.” Although General Toombs did not say so in ao many words, I judge that what he said on that occasion, and which has been so widely read, waa thrown ont for ban combe. It might have been his intention to make a vivid itnpres. ■ion on the correspondent's mind as to the evils of the hoar, and in this he oertainly succeeded. ah opxh question. I asked him abont the constitutional amend ments, expecting him to smite them with fear ful violence, bnt he did not. “Aa to the amendments,” he said, “and other matters that the party cannot agree npon, let them be left as open questions subject to fattire discussion. We have numerous instances of this in England. Tbe whole thing can remain statu quo nntil the party ia ready to agree, one way or tbe other.” This, I believe, ia Andy Johnson’s plan. He don’t believe in the Democratic party fretting away its strength in quarreling about that which it baa not the power to decide one way or tbe other at present Leave the question open, and go to battle on something else. Cer tainly there is plenty to fight abont. Card from lion. ClHTord Anderson. Macon, Monday, November 6,187L Editors Telegraph and Messenger: I think you and your correspondent for the complimen tary terms in which my name is suggested, in your paper of yesterday, in connection with the office of Governor. I avail myself, however, of the earliest opportunity to state—as I have heretofore done to the few partial friends who have approached me on the subject—that I am not only ineligible, bnt esnnot under any cir cumstances, consent to bo a candidate. Very respectfully, Cuvroan Andehson. Who is the Lias?—The Tribune, of Friday, prints the following among its Washington tele grams: A letter from an officer of tho Senate, now with the Southern Outrage Cor—itte at Atlan ta, Ga., slates that nearly 100 «itnessea have been examined, and that over 2,000 persons have been driven in from tbe rural districts to that city by the Ku-klnx, the procf cf which is in the hands of tho Committee.

OKA .IT AND THE Kl'-KLCX, 1 lie Inevitable Ku hlnx—Wbnt tbe Presi dent Knows utiout Cbe Organization— Objects or tbe invisible Empire. The New Yotk Herald, of Friday, has the fol lowing : Wa Kington, November 2,1871. Attorney General Akerman had a long con ference today with the Secretary of State and • fierward with the President. The subjects of tbe interviews was, of course, the everlasting Ku Max question, involving the punishment of the pana>us recently arrested in Sjuth Carolina, and"perhaps the promulgation of a new procla mation it waa the original intention of the Goveri rum to tallow np the suspension of the habeas corpse i n the nine oonnties of South Carolina wi it.. similar movement npon North ern Georgia, and aa most of the young men sus pected of Ku-klnx affinities who ran away from the former State took np their abode in tbe lat ter, it is not improbable that they will be soon on tbe move onee more. Akerman is not a man of sufficient calibre to engage the a'teotion of tho President for two hours in one day, unless important matters are to be decided in which the Executive needs all the information his law adviser can afford him. Just at this moment it is a matter ot great in terest aa to what the President knows or thinks he knows abont the Ku-klnx. * It is asserted by those who ought to know something of tbe character of the information communicated from time to time to the Execu tive that be has much more direct knowledge on this snbjeet than even that possessed by the Congressional Committee. Gentlemen of high character, formerly officers in onr army, who were and are even now living in the South, having learned through their supposed Demo cratic sympathies important facts relative to the secret purposes of this organization, have made him acquaintt d with the danger to its fullest extent. Tbe officer* of the United States Secret Ser vice have been and still are very active in fer- reting out tbe Man. The danger to which they arc exposed in this servioe renders it necessary that great cantion be exercised in making their ope rations pnblic. These officersare not known to each other, and aa a consequence it often hap pens that the most efficient men are reported by others as being Kn-Mnx chiefs. It will be shown when the facts all come out, that the Ku-klnx in South Carolina have been largely famished with arms from Northern sources. It is even asserted that an examination of the shipments from the anus mannfactarine companies of the North, and especially of New York, for the last two years, will show a great activity in tho Southern trade. It is the opinion of the administration and those who sustain its policy of repression that it ia the design of the Invisible Empire to at tempt the repossession by the old rebel element, first, of the several Southern States by the de moralization, through terror, outrage and mur der, of the party sustaining reconstruction and its results, and s<.cundly, by similar means, but more general and systematic in character, to force every Southern State to vote against the Bepnblican Presidential nominee, and thns re store to them control of their local and State affairs and the inauguration of tbeir party asso ciates in the government A contingency for which they have undoubt edly worked ia, in the event of Congress refus ing to connt electoral votes gained by such a palpable system of terror and violence as the Kn-klnx will inaugurate, to at once raise the standard of revolution within the Union, de claring that tbe refusal is only a step in a pre arranged plan to keep the power in tbe hands of the how dominant party. There is no doubt in tbe minds of tbe best informed persons here who have investigated tbe character and pur. poses of this conspiracy that such a design as that indicated is seriously contemplated. Opinions like these have influenced the course of the President toward South Carolina, and have led also to the doom which is now impend ing ever Georgia. It is giTen out that the mean ing of the supplementary proclamation, which is now in preparation, ia to correct the blander by which Union county, South Carolina, was iuclnded in tbe repressive edict instesd of Ma rion, but there is no doubt that tho prediction in the ilrrald some days ago that Georgia was the next Stute in order will be verified in a day or two, and other sections will bo treated in the same way, as the President thinks the occasion may require. Senator Scott is now here and at work, and be is as sternly in favor of strong measures as ever. SCHOFIELD’S IRON WORKS, ADJOINING PASSENGEB DEPOT, MACON, Gi.

Tho committee to whom was referred Ihe bus iness of reporting resolutions in honor of the memory of the Hon. Jndge Haznnmq deoeaed, beg leave to submit the following: Bobzbt Y. Haedeuan was born in Oglethorpe county, on the 2Gth April, in the year 1800, and expired at his residenoe in Jones county, on the 19th May, 1871. His early life was a constant struggle with adversity, but naturally energetio and spirited, instead of yielding in inglorious weakness to tbe difficulties and embarrassments of his sitnatieD, he made them only the means of developing the noble qualities which distin guished his manhood. His advantages of edu cation at that early period were such only aa could be had at tbe county academy. Yet he in a great measure supplied tbe deficiencies of his school by asaidious and untiring application. He was a conspicuous example of a solf-mado. man. He studied law in Lexington at the office ot Stephen Upson, an eminent lawyer of his day, and bis character as a lawyer was moulded by tbe example and influence of his preceptor, and the other distinguished jurists and statesmen, to-wit: Cobb, Gilmer and Crawford, who lived abont Lexington, and somo of whom were then members of the Northern Circuit, but admitted to tbe bar at Washington, Wilkes eoonty. under the celebrated Judge Dooly, he soon located himself at Clinton, Jones county, at and abont which place ha resided up to tire period of his death. Tbe people of his county held him in the highest estimation for his superior excel lence as a lawyer and friend and neighbor, and delighted to honor him. In 1853 he was appointed by Gov. Johnson to fill the nnexpired term of Jndge Cone on the bench of this circuit, and was afterwards elected by the Legislature for the next succeeding term. Although the peer of bis cotemporaries,Dawson, Niabet,! Meriwether, Clone, and Hill, as a law- er, yet ha was more distinguished as a judge. His power of grasping the principles of a case seemed to be almost intuitive; and the law nn- der his administration was made to realize its intention in being made to subserve the pur poses of justioe and fair dealing without regard to the perrons in litigation. Withal Judge Hardeman was modest, truth ful, brave and generous, and there was no mem. ber of the bar more abounding in all those qual ities of mind and heart on the circuit Tbe im pression made by the life of our distinguished friend npon the bar and the country, is most honorable to his memory and a priceless heri tage to his bereaved friends. Resolved, That we deeply deplore the loss of the Bar and State in the death of the Hon orable Robert Y. Hardeman. Resolved, That we sincerely sympathize with tbe family of the deceased in their rffliction, and tender to them this exprc.sion of onr condo lence. Resolved, That those resolutions be spread npon the minntes of this oourt in honor of the memory of the deceased, and a copy of the same be made out by the Clerk and forwarded to the family.

Detach the delicate blouoms from the tree; Close thy sweeteyee calmly and without pain, We will trust in God to see thee yet again. Mbs. Mart E. Heath, wife of O. P. Heath, Eaq.. died in Atlanta on the 30th day of October, after a protracted illness of more than a year, in tbe 24th year of ber age. Her kind and patient spirit never shone more beantifol' than In ita resigned endu rance cf pain and hnmb'o resignation to the afflic tive Providence which darkened all her hopes of worldly happineea and procperity. Cut off from tbe fascinations of society and shat np in the room of coffering, she sought and obtained a far sweeter and holier source of peace and comfort in ber com munions with the sympathizing High Priest who touched with the feelings of onr infirmatives. Her gentle piety waa the moat effectual rebuke to sin and constraint to fidelity with those around ber. er many virtues, her luring character, her unsel fish nature, fitted her to be the loved of the home circle. She was ready when ths summons ca Presenting mementoes of affection to the weeping husband and to each member of the family, she commended bar soul to God and fell asleep in Jeans. W.
