The Seating ofSenntor Norwood,
Aa waa remarked yesterday, we regard thia act
of justice as a happy augury for the future, and
eongratnlate the people of Georgia, that for the
first time within a deeade of years, the legiti
mate voioe of their noble State will be heard
upon the floors of the Federal Senate.
Nor will the aonnd be feeble or uncertain.
Mr. Norwood is possessed of eminent talents,
end moreover is a Christian gentleman of un
blemished reputation, and unswerving integrity.
The writer has known him as an intimate friend
for many years, and would trust him aa Boon
aa any man in Georgia.
Neser fear that he will bow to the Baal of
Radicalism, or fail to throw himself in the breach
when tho righto of his native State arc invaded.
Mr. Norwood possesses a dear and discrimina
ting Intellect, and ia a fluent and agreeable
speaker. His advent in the Senate will form a
startling episode to the dull routine of Federal
wrong and usurpation.

low them to select some other man who coutd

islature in “stopping the bail of tyranny at the

That teat stopping the ball with a vengeance.
Tyranny, with ample power to enforce its
edict*, decreed that only a speciflo class of men
should hold offioe in its domain*. Thia waa the
ball they set rolling. Straightway a body of
legislators selected as their repre tentative in a
high station one of these very proscribed class.
This was stopping the ball, according to the

The Cincinnati Commercial of a late date has
a letter from Richmond which we mutilate to
the following extent:
To see a man who had been so fortunate in
welding discordant elements together, and
bringing peace to a “State lately in rebellion,
I called upon the Governor in his Executive
office. I found him to be what all those who
know him say he is—a very handsome man—
tall, graoefnl, and commanding, without a pound
too much flesh or a pound too little; aa straight
aa an arrow, and symmetrical in body and limb;
a fine head, oovered with hair gray almost to
whiteness; a clear, bluish-gray eye, beaming
geniality and good humor; a finely chiselled
nose and month; a moustache jet black, and
skin as fair and white aa that of a woman a.
Such ia a brief ontline of the personal appear-
anoe of Gilbert C. Walker, modern Governor of
the ancient Dominion. . .
He ia a man of wonderful tact, and that,
added to his handsome address snd genial man
ners, is among the Cannes of his popularity.
In the coarse of conversation be told me bow
it happened that he came to Virginia. “It
shows/’ said he, •‘upon what trivial incidents a
■nan's whole destiny may hang. About the
time of the dese of the war I was practicing law
to Chicago. My brother in California wrote me
to take the deposition of a man here in Virginia
in a certain oaee. After some hesitation I con
sented, and oame to Norfolk. While in Chicago
I had been troubled with catarrh, but after
spending a few days in Norfolk I notioed to my
surprise thst my disease began to get better.
The longer I stayed to the State, the better I got,
but upon returning to Chicago all my old symp
toms came back, and I was aa bad off aa ever.
Solely on account of the disease, and to get rid
of it, I moved to Norfolk about the rime of the
dose of the wor. But for having to take the
deposition of a man in Virginia in a California
law-suit, I should not now have been here. It
was all accidental.”

“I read your letter from Georgia,” continued
Mr. Johnson, “giving the reason why Bollock
ran away. It all looked reasonable enough. He
and his gang had robbed until they could not

ent On yesterday there arrived in this city

John Kelly and James A. Hook. They were on
their way to South Oarolina, in which State they
reside, and Btated that they were robbed on

thst this crowd got their money. Fortunately
Mr. Kelly had money enough elsewhere on his

A Neoeo Man Mubdebxd bt Radical Kd-

Death.—Last Thursday night, the 14th instant,
in this county, ou Spring Creek, and near Sam
O'Neal's plantation, a most brutal attack was
mads on a negro man named Jordan Zekc,
during which he was terribly wounded in the
bowels with bnckshot The parties, it seems,
were disguised, and made off after committing
the crime. On Satnrday night last, at 12 o'clock,
the negro died, and on Sunday night a post
mortem examination and a coroner’s inqneat
were held under Coroner Hahn, Dr. W. J. Har
rell conducting the former. The post mortem
examination discovered the cause of Jordan
Zeke'a death to be the gun shot wound in the
bowels, and the evidenoe rendered before the
jury plainly pointed ont one William Hatcher,
a white man, as e perpetrator of the mnrder,
and a white man named Williams, aa bis acces
sory. Hatcher and Williams are both mem
bers of the Republican party, so there will pro
bably be very little said about the affair in the
Radical newspaper*. Sad to relate, while Zske
Jordan was lying helpless, almost in the em
brace of death, his little son was accidentally
burned to death before hia eyes.

who are not

have promptly paid their obligstions, aa we

who heed their pecuniary obligations so little.
Rfsolved, That we urge npon Rev. Dr.
