THURSDAY MORNING, DEC. SO, 1877.
We think it a righteous decision of our
Fupttiue Court, that in oase of a mur
derer who is, “too drunk to form the in
tent to kill, he tuusi be too drunk to
firm, the intent t 0( (hoot " Now let the
courts and jurors act up to this decision
and there will lie less killing while men
are under the influence of alcoholic stim
ulants. Men will not then seek to cover
up or over their dastardly deeds with
the plea, "1 was so drunk 1 knew not
what I was doing."
The Cartoraville Exprent utters words
of high commendation of our worthy and
highly esteemed citizen, Judge Samuel
Hawkins, when it says:
"The election of Mr. Samuel Hawkins,
of Chattooga county, to the Senate from
this district is very satisfactory to those
even who did not vote for him. lie was
. a number ot the late constitutional con
vention, and an active member, lie was
an advocaUs of reform upon all proper
occasions, and his record La one creditable
to his constituency and hoiiorubiu to him
self. We congratulate Mr. 11. upon his
success against one of the most popular
men in the district."
In the case of Moncrief, who was sen
tenccd to be hung at the spring term of
Floyd Superior oourt, the Supreme court
reversed the judgment of the court below,
mainly on the ground that James Davis,
one of the jurors, hud prejudged the case
and had asserted to certain p irties, “ilia
he had looked into the case, and that ho,
the defendant, would he hung without
any doubt at all,” and thus disqualifying
himself as an impartial juror in sai l case.
The case, therefore, goes hack to Floyd
Superior court for a rehearing. Lot
every man, bo he guilty or innocent, be
adjudged according to the constitution
and laws of the land.
Gus Johuion
The Supremo Court decision in the
cae of Augustus Johnson against the
State, murder, from Floyd coun y, has
been rendered, and the judgment of the
Court below affirmeJ, and he will be re
eeuteitced at the January term ot the
Floyd Suporior Court.
The following is tho decision of the
Supreme Court, as taken from tho At
lanta Constitution:
Auguilus Johnson vs. The State. Mur
der, from Floyd.
JACKSON, J.
1. This oourt will act. control tho dis
cretion ol the Cirouit Court on the ques
tion of tho continuance of a ca e, unless
such discretion has been abused.
2. A charge to the grand jury on the
organization the second week of the oourt
for service during that week, in which
they are exhorted to bring offenders to
trial aud punishment, made in the pres
enee of the trovers* jury engaged in the
triul of a ease for murder, is not ground
for the j; rant of anew trial in such case,
though allusion be made it, the charge to
tiie grand jury, to the crime of murder
and the indisposition of the peonle to
airest armed offenders, and though the
prisoner on trial was arid h..d been so
armed at nud befor* arrost —tho Judge
stating in si id grand jury charge that he
had no slludon at all to the case pend
ing, thutuhe ease pending must be tried
on its own merits, when his attention hud
been called to the possible effect oi the
grand jura’s charge upon tho traverse
jury being perfectly lair and uuexcv) -
lionaUe and unexpected.
Judgitiebt affirmed.
How Crook and.
A (rand jury hi South Carolina had
bills against otia Patterson,
who 'bad been elected to the United
States Semite, for crookedness in his con
duct in that State, and lie fled to Wa.-h
-a sale a-ylutn. Gov. Hamp
ton made requisition for Iliui to be
bought lack and tried by tho courts for
his- grievous misconduct; but Judge
Humphreys oi the District of Columbia,
before whom the habeas corpus was tried,
in Ins decision bolds that Patterson be
iug a United States Senator is a sufficient
plea to discharge him from arrest, even
on a ehaVgo of felony. Such crooked
ness as this iu "the powcis that be,"
will sdou run any government to destruc
tion, or lie the occasion of the people to
arise in the majesty of their owm at the
ballot box. and rebuke it in such thuuder
toues as to annihilate the party engaged
in su-h nefarious practices. Such is tt e
doom e f zho party that has ruled our
country*for :h lasi sistocn years, li
has lost I'- gt n the lower iiou e
of Congress, it has nearly reached the j
last ditch iu the Senate, and theChirf
Kkcculive of the country, is fast prepar- j
ing to take his last round, after wnich it
is to be hoped the nation will he purged ,
of the vileness witti which it has been
intoxicated for so long a time, und the
Augean stable cleared of the vast horde ,
of vultures that have bjen pr ying upon
the vitals of the Government for lot
these many, long und weary years.
Bomk one at Faui.t.— The Home
papers of lain, are failing to come to hand
so often that it is really getting to be a
source of trouble anil inconvenience to the
country. How can this be re me died? It
certainly can be. iu some way, and tt is
hoped th.it thoo having the matter in
charge will look to it and sec tiiat such
unpardonable carelessness is no longer
tolerated. If the fault is with tho edit
ors in not mailing their papers they
should look to the mutter und govern
themselves accordingly. But we are loth
to believe the fault lies with them, for it
is to their interests in every respect io
use the proper diligence to see ihat their
papers are duly mailed. Besides, the
editors of the different papers in that
city have assured us that they uo carry
their papers to the post office in time for
our mails. The fault then, must he in
the post office officials, notwithstanding
the Home linlletin says the) arc ‘tho
most accommodating post office officials
in the laud." Wo do wish they would
show some "accommodation" in trans
mitting our mails on time, and nut keep
them hack until they arc a week behind
time, aud sometimes don’t send them
at all.

The Flea.
Mr, E'Utur —Sur: Sum weakes ago
I notised in yure pnpur a es a on the
chinch, and thot, cf you wur goin inter
nutcral histry I wood give you a chapter
on the flea. Your korrispondent urges
that the ruppid miilptiplyen of the chinch
ar owiu to tho fackt that tha ar all fe
males. Now, sur, this dock'riri ar > o
ackkordin to orthidox, or skr ptur, o
logiok, and I kulkerlatu that sioh dock
triu ar kalkerlated to don inkalkemb
amount uv harm. Sur, tliis dock trio ar
opposed to all 00-operashuu, and inuchn ,
ade, and uni n uv effort. And, sur. I
hav bin, and am, and ar, and will be fnr
nint ail sich ~s skandrrlus innerva hiins
upon the time-onered kustums uv the
past..
But to my subjiuk. The flea ar uv a
vary anshunt family. lio can trace In<
ginnyallijy fur b ick inter the dim and
misty ages uv tho past. Not only fad
be attuned to historick men bun in
the time uv David, but it nr n : so surtin
that he rode with Noa on the snrgin bil
lers uv the find. And it ar nossibil, and
probberbil that he sported ovur the shirt
loss sholders uv Addarn, and tickuld the
shewless foot of Eave in the gurdin uv
paradice.
The ft a ar a kosmopperlite, or citizen
uv the world. He flurishes in every
klime, lives and loves, and proppergates
his specshes, tickets and torments ourn,
amid the arid sands uv the dezzert, ami
in tho rejuns uv perpetyal snow. The
flea ar a radikal republickin, us ar shone
by his assosiashuns. He makes no dis
tinksbuns as to seeks, rase, kullcr, or pro
vius kondisbun, but iz as happy when
skwirming over the oderiflerus karkisauv
a sleepin darky az when revellen in the
Imzzum uv buty. The flea nr a kurniv
erua inseek, and prays aliko on hog and
human, dog and darky. He ar also a
fogelur church-goer, where bo often
makes more iuipreshuns than the preeoh
or, and persons often karry awa from
church more insecks than ideas.
But, sur, thar ar a speeshes uv human
flea that ar fur more pestilerus than th
inseok. The inseok prays upon your
karkiss, the human upon your karicter.
The inseek destroys your repose, the
human upon your reputaahun. The insect
will fleabottomise your piirsun, the humuu
your purse-
One inseok kin only torment one indi
vicinal at a time; but one human can
ticket and teeze aud torment a whole
kommuuity. Like the inseok, -he human
ar uv a anshunt family, aud ar also kos
mopperlite, and rudikil, and kamiverus,
and ehurch-goin. And, sur, if your

fur the wa they multiply in our day ar

LADIES COLUMN.
Second Marr ages.
It is singular to note am-ng people
what foolish notions arc entertained of
a 7 marriage alter the first, in the case
of the death of either of the parties
Go.) has -aid "it is not good for man to
be alone"—and the term "man’'here,
is used in its generic sense, and includes
the woman as well Nature, reason,
philjsophy, religion and observation
all combine to atte t its truth, as
well after a before tho first marriage;
and no one but a simpleton possessed of
a jealous and selfish <iis| osition would
dare desire to contravene this fir-t plain
decision of the Almighty.
The most sensible utterances upon this
subject we have ever read or heard,
were th se of the wile of a Philadelphia
clergyman on her death-i>ed, who said to
him: "Don't grow morbid when lam
gone. Go into society, he cheerful, and
let no regard lor my memory check you if
you see fit to marry again. It is my wi h;
the ch'ldren must he eared lor; you need
a helper in your work. You cannot live I
alone; your temperament is all against
it ; only ctioo.se a cheerful woman, and
teach her to love our children. Don't
answer me, arid don't he governed by >
w hat th world says r thinks."
This wa* a no'.le woman, and her eon
<l act under the trying circumstances, is
wel worthy the imitation o! both has
hau ls and wives
Woman.
The following touching and beautiful
I tribute, to woman we leproduc from an
exchange, a.- being well calculated to
alloy any a-peiity that ui'glit exist in the
heart "t any masculine biped entertain-
I ing . ther th in exalted ideas of woman.
It say :
“T ,ere is a fieauT in the helpleawesg
ut woman. The clinging trust, which
searches for ext.ane <us support, L grace
ful and touching Timidity is the attri
bute of h.r sex; hut to hi r-elf it is not
without its dangers, its r c nvenienees,
and its sufferings. Her first efi rt at
on ntiararive ireviloui is bitier enough;
for the dedicate mind shrinks from every
unaiuuslomed contact, and the warm
and iu hitn> heart closes it elf like the
bios mu of the sensitive plant, at every
approach. Man ar o ee determines his j
position, and asse is Ins place; woman j
iias hers to seek And, alas! I fear]
that, however she may appear to turn a
a culm brow snl quiet lip to the crow,
through which s:.e makes hei way, that
brow throbs and that lip quivers to the ,
last until, like .. wounded birl, she eari
once more wii g her way to that tranquil
home where the drooping head will be
f’.ndly raised, uni the fluttering bean
laid to rest! Tho dependence ol women
in the common affairs of file is, nevertbe- ]
less, rather the effect of custom than ne- !
cessity. Wc have many and tuilliant
proo's that, where need is, si.* cm be ]
sufficient to herself, an 1 play her part in
the great drama of existence with credit
it not with comfort 'I he yearnings of
he' solitary spi.it, the oiugushings ot
her shr.liking sensibility, the cravings o!
her alienated heart are indulged inly in
the quiet holiness ol b< r solitude. Ihe
world sees not, gue so not the umfliei;
and in tile ignorance of other- lies h o
strength.
flic secret of her w akne.-s is hidd n
in the depths ot her owt. bosom; ~nd she
moves on amid the heat and liury lex |
istenee, and with a seal set upon her
mi ure, to he broken only by loml and
loving hands, or dissolved in the tears ol
recovered home alteoti 'll. "
The vote of the State at the late elcc
iion as far as a, ccrtained, is as follows,
though it may be somewhat changed by
ihe full official returns; not sufficienlly,
howevur, to make any material ditiercu e
