But this was no fault of the desperado who fired the shots, as he evidently intended mischief. The State vs. Eobeet J. Maetel—At the eallina of the criminal docket on Thursday morning, the Solicitor-General, I. W. Christian, entered a node protequi in the case of the State against Egbert J. Martin, who was indicted for murder. The indictment haa^een pending for two years, and the case baa excited much inter est in the community. The defence urged in sanity, and upon this issue there was a trial more than a year ago which resulted in a ver dict that the party accused was a sane man- At the last term of the court the defendant waa put upon trial as to his guilt or innocenee, and the result waa a mistrial. About this time a peti tion was circulated for the purpose of obtaining signatures thereto, setting forth that the Sohoi- tor-General had ably and faithfully dischargea bis duty, that it waa the prevalent opinion that the party could not be convicted on the evidence in possession of the Solicitor General, and that further prosecution would entail great erpenae upon the oounty, and requesting the Solicitor- General to enter a nolle protegut. During the present term that petition with eighty, six signa tures thereto was road in court. Upon hearing the petition hia Honor Judge Sessions referred the matter to the Solicitor-General as the proper arty to inform the oouri in the premises, and le announced bis concurrence in the oontenta of tha petition as being an expression of the senso of the community on the subject * * * Druntusiek Appeal, 9fA nut The Appeal animadverts with much severity upon the oourse of the Judge and Solicitor in this ease. It maintains that the ooat should not l>e counted in the pnnuhment of crime; that Martin committed a grav# offence against the State, and not against so small a part of it aa Glynn connty; and that the petition of private citizens should not have been allowed lo inter cept the course of justice. If oases aro to be disposed of in that way, it maintains that it would bo better to abolish the courts altogether and allow a knot of citizens to administer the law or not, aa may seem lo them best. The Chronicle and Sentinel, of Sunday, has an earnest appeal for a full vote at the election next Tuesday, the 19th instant It says, truly, that a full vote ia all important to show how thoroughly and unreservedly the people loathe and condemn the wholesale robbery and cor ruption of the thieves who have harried Geor gia so dreadfully for the past three years. The article concludes as follows: Let not an admitted party majority, however large, beget anpineness and inaction. The im pending election deeply concerns every interest of society, for, as the public will find expres sions at the ballot box, so will pnblio conduot find direction in action. If misrule and malfea sance and nnblnsbing dishonesty in administra tion be bnt faintly rebuked, fraud and deceit will prevail throughout the land, and corrup tion reign in high plaoes. When publie thieving is perpetrated with impunity, and acquires dis tinction and ease with stolen wealth, where will be fonnd a safeguard for common honesty and individual uprightness? Let the people of the State, then, rise and pronounce clearly and em phatically, and with overwhelming force, as with the voioe of thunder, their condemnation of thieving Badiealism.so that it may be engraved on the publio mind aa with the pen of iron and the point of a diamond, that the first great requisites for public distinction shall be com mon honesty and faithfulness to publio trust. Let the Democracy organize and poll their fall strength, and all good citizens and honest tax payers rally to tbo polls and pronounce the ir revocable doom of Radicalism in Georgia to in famy and ignominy.

The cost of «roving cotton to the planter is in proportion to tho yield per aero from the land and labor employed in its cultivation: hence the sgency which so largely increases production at a moderate outlay of capital is essential to profitable planting.

Mr. King enters upon the discharge of the du ties of the office under the moat unfavorable circumstances. His predecessor was driven from the position by force of public opinion, but not nntil he had squandered vast sums of money. The people of the county will, there fore, watch the course of the present incumbent with no little anxiety, and be rare that his offi cial seta are subjected to the closest scrutiny. This ia their right, and they intend to exercise it We quote the following from the Atlanta Constitution, of yesterday: A Confidence Gaits.—Two men by the name of Whitsett—one hailing from Baltimore and the other from the West—on Saturday night practiced the confidence game on an emi grnt named Madden, by pasting spurious gold on him and victimized hia oat of *220.

They deliv ered up the money, and were caged. Yester day while up in one of the rooms of the City TT.n they made a frantic effort to escape, by jumping out of a two-story window on the ground. They were not hurt by the fall. Both were recaptured—one after a hard chase— and again lodged in jail. They didn’t want to reeognite the Superior Court, perhaps ; Cap tain Johnson and Lieutenant Holland are ever prompt and active in the discharge of their duties.
