Worth County Election. to consult popularity in his official action.
It is a truth that out of all with whom we have
conversed on that subject, not one have we found,
so far, who is not in favor cf a change. The
meagre vote at the late election shows the in
difference of the People to the ballot for Judges;
and we arc confident the vote would not have
been half so large as it was, but for the contest
on the county officers: The people don’t want
to elect the Judges, and the choice between can
didates of fair standing and qualifications, in the
absence of an active canvass, (which by tacit as
sent of all parties seems to be admitted as un
dignified and improper.) would not of itself
bring out half a vote, The intelligent people of
this State see and feel that the only interest they
have in this matter lies in the securing of a
learned, wise and impartial justiciary; and that
that system of appointment which places their
judges in the most independent position, and at
the farthest possible remove from all bias, is the
best one—the safest one—the most favorable to
the preservation of their rights and the carry
ing out of the popular will—in the correct ad
ministration of the laws enacted by the repre
sentatives of the People. This is the true dem
ocratic interest in this matter. As a weak, bi
assed, partial or corrupt judiciary may entirely
thwart, misconceive, or pervert the public will
as embodied in the law, so its best maintenance
and defence lie in the policy best adapted to se
cure and preserve entire judicial independence,
impartiality and integrity.
Now, will any one pretend that a popular elec
tion of Judges is that policy? Who can believe
it? Here the convicted offender against the
laws punishes the Court which has convicted
him—the loser in a civil suit avenges his fan
cied wrongs—the negligent juror—the uncivil
witness—the pert lawyer—remember and resent
their indignities. A single suit, involving a
common interest in a county or neighborhood,
(such cases there are and have been in Georgia,
as well as elsewhere,) is decided under sanction
of a loss of the county vote and a loss of office.
Will an old bell-weather of a family flock who
suitor
humble yeoman who lias noth
ing and can control nothing but his single vote?
We say he may do it—before a stem and im
partial judge accustomed to look deeply into the
workings of his own heart and to guard every
avenue against the insidious and subtile sugges
tions of self-interest lie may do it But hu
man nature is tollable, and the popular electoral
system offers a constant suggestion of self-inter
est in the administration of justice, to a mind
capable of its approaches. It is no true demo
cratic system, in its natural tendency, if not in
its inevitable results.

plentiful bread crops in Europe. In the South,

The Hon. Thos. Hardeman, of our city, being
present, was called on to address the meeting,
and responded to tbe call by making a masterly
speech, in which he portrayed in living lan

In short, we often see men of dull and phleg
matic tempers arriving to great estates, by ma
king a regular and orderly disposition of their
business, and that without it the greatest parts
and most lively imaginations, rather puzzle
their affairs than bring them to an happy issue.
Every man of good common sense may, if he
pleases become rich. The reason why we some
times see that men of the greatest capacities
are not so, is either because they despise wealth
in comparison to something else; or at least are
not content to be gening an estate unless they
may do it their own way, and at the same time
enjov all the pleasures and gratifications of life.

Queen Victoria.
“ That Alexandria Victoria should ever
have ascended the English throne is. perhaps,
the only remarkable event in her life. George
III left five sons, the elder, of coarse, the heir,
the others in all likelihood forever debarred
from the succession. The heir, the Prince of
Wales, reigned as George IV, and died child
less, the second son, the Duke of York, died
without reigniDg, and likewise childless; the
third son, the Duke of Clarence reigned as
William IV, and died childless; the fourth
son, Edward Duke of Kent, died without
reigning, bat left one child, a daughter ; and
to her thus remote from the inheritance, des
cended the patrimony of the House of Hano
ver and Brunswick.
“When Victoria was six years old her moth

ceptor ; and his fidelity and zeal proved the
wisdom of her choice. The Baroness Lehzcn

How Webster Popped the Question.
A correspondent of The Boston Courier, tells
how Daniel Webster offered himself to the wo
man of his choice:
“Mr. Webster married the woman he loved,
and the twenty years .which he lived with her
brought him to the meridian of his greatness.—
An anecdote is current on this subject, which
is not recorded in the hooks. Mr. Webster was
becoming intimate with Miss Grace Fletcher,
when the skein of silk getting in a knot, Mr.
Webster assisted in unraveling the snarl—then
looking up to Miss Grace, he said: ‘ Wc have
untied a knot; don’t you think wc could tie
one Y Grace was a little embarrassed, said not
a word, but in the course of a few minutes she
tied a knot in a piece of tape and handed, it to

and dollars, the amount asked for; thought the
Central Road had and was unjustly discrimina
ting against Macon—and believed tint the city
of Macon should protect herself by encouraging
liberally this enterprise. Col. Alexander’s re
marks were directly to the point, and satisfied
almost the entire audience that his arguments
were irrefutable.
CoL J. H. II Washington, then offered the
following substitute which he defended briefly,
hut earnestly.
Resolved, That the only proper way to se
cure a fair expression of public opinion as to the
policy of the city subscribing to any Rail Road
project, U by ballot Be it therefore Resolved,
that the Mayor and Council be requested to
to open a poll, first giving ten Uayy ihkicc tnere-
ol in which all the citizens of Macon, other than
those'who only pay a poll Tax, he requested to
cast their votes for or against subscribing to
the Macon and Brunswick Rail Road.
Before taking the vote on the substitue, J. II.
R. Washington, explained in reference to one
of its provisions, that he was not in iavor of ex
cluding from political rights, those who pay a
poll tax only, nor would he prevent them from
voting at Elections generally, but this being a
local nutter, confined wholly to the question of
raising money, he thought it just and proper,
that it should lie left to those who would have

A Valuable Fertilizer.
Planters who arc now generally much inter
ested in the subject of the concentrated fertili
zers, will be attracted by the advertisement of
“KcUh-weH’s Manipulated Guano,” a composi
tion of about onc-half Peruvian Guano and one-
half Phosphate of Lime, which is maintained to
be better than the pure guano, whose huge pro
portion of Aiqmonia is too stimulating to the
soil This is the opinion of the Southern Plan
ter, published at Richmond, and is concurred
in by a good many of the Agricultural Essayists
who have written about the compound, which
is obtaining a wide notoriety and use in Mary
land, Virginia and tile Carolinas. The Phos
phate also adds to the permanent wealth of the
soil while the combination lias all the stimu
lating properties of guano necessary to the pro
duction of crops, or for the good of the land.—
We recommend our readers to trv it.

race, whether as sovereigns, statesmen, schol
ars, inventors, discoverers, benefactors, poets
or divines. While yet in her teens, she spoke
English, French and German, with equal flu
ency, she read Italian and translated Virgil
and Horace; she was a proficient in mathe
matics, and showed decided talent in all bran
ches connected with the science of numbers.
Accomplishments were not neglected. The
princess danced, saDg and sketched from na
ture. She laid aside a portion of her pocket
money to aid in extinguishing tbe indebted
ness of her father. A sound religious train
ing lay at tbe base of tbe fabric thus reared,
and Victoria was made to realize that, as she
was to reign over a nation professedly Chris
tian, she must prove, by her private conduct,
and in her domestic life, her right to the glo
rious title of Defender of the Faitli.
On the 7th day of July, Victoria made her
first public, appearance as sovereign of the
nation. She prorogued Parliament m person,
addressing the members of the two chambers
from the throne in the House of Lords. Her
pallor betrayed her emotion, bnt her manner
was calm and composed, and her bearing at
once childlike and royal. Her voice was dis
tinct. though tremulous. It was a proud day
