At the late meeting of the American
Bar Association, the President, Hon.
Benjamin H. Bristow, reao hfs annu
al report, from wliicli wc glean the
following information of the most
noteworthy changes in statutory ltw
on points of general interest made in
the several Slates and by Congress
^during the last year,
.- -The hot that twenty five States
have only biennial Icgislative.seeaions,
and the last year' having been an off
year in twenty of these, did not leave
so much to report as in 1879. The
Chinese have been attacked vigorous
ly, but tiw laws against them hade
been declared unconstitutional in tiie
United States courts as fast as taken
there. Railroads have been attacked
by laws in California and Georgia.
In Georgia n commission is named to
fix rates. Maine lias a law to pre
vent railroad workmen from striking
and stopping trains . Connecticut has
a law to examine men for color blind'
ness and prevent their employment oh
railroads. Severe laws against rob-
hing graves have been enacted in
Iowa, Ohio and Maine. New York
has a law against sending annoying
letters through ttis mails. California
and Georgia provide for appointing
tenqiorary Judges pro. leiu. by the
cosi ent of the parties. California le
galizes warrants of a,rrest sent by tel
egrnph. , Connecticut exempts ten
thousand dollars of the proj>erty of
pensioners from taxation. Laws of
inheritance have -been changed in
Massachusetts giving husband or wife
greater proportion of properly than
heretofore wheVu husband or wife dies
inestate, Some States have attempt-
ad to rectify and improve the insolvent
laws. 'It is to be hoped that out of
the various laws proposed in Congress
some equitable, rational Bankrupt
law may be evolved. The New York
Civil Code of Procedure, recently
passed, made many radical changes
and had been strenuously opposed by
many but it is now generally conced
ed that the new code is an improve
ment on the old one. The Now York
law to authorize Slates to take as
signment ot claims against other
States is an important one, autl the
constitutionality of it remains to be
tested. The Census Bnrean says that
one hundred million dollars of State
debts have bedn repudiated. Massa
chusetts has made life insarance polio
cies on which two premiums have been
paid non-foifilitablo. South Carolina
has enacted a law similar to tbst of
New York, removing liens on real es
tate after twenty years from last pay
ment. Anti-tramp laws have been
passed in several -States seemii(g]y
much dlike except as to length of time
of imprisonment. New,Jersey has
forbidden the .payment of work'
men in store orders. Laws forbidding
the intermarriage of blacks and whites
have been passed in South Carolina
aud other States. The law heretofore
passed to the same effect in Virginia
has been declared constitutional by'
the United States Uplift. Massachu
setts has appointed a ...commission toj
examine persons anpsted for the 1 first
time td see if they canrtot be reformed
without imprisonment. Georgia and
Iowa have appointed, emigrant com'
missions to present facts to inducc

selves to the publication, each day, of
one of the charges made against the
Governor and his answer thereto, un
til all the material points in the case,
en either aide, have keen bud before
our readers. In this way they can,
perhaps, be better enabled to arrive
at a correct con 'luaion on the many
different matters involved in this
great issue than if the whole immense
mass weye spread before them at
ouce. It is a grave Issuo they are
called on to decide, and they should
bring to its consideration minds en
lightened by a knowledge of-the facts
and unwarped by personal antago
nism or favoritism. In its discussion
all excitement should bo avoided as
much as possible, and every effort to
arouse the passions or play upon the
prejudices of the jurors in tiie case
should be sternly rebuked and frowned
dowD bv true democrats Lei the
merits of Colquitt and Norwood be
presented by their respective friends
in as strong language as they please,
without abu-se or vituperation, and
let the people calmly decide the issue,
Without passion, and especially with
out anger towards each other. In
this way only can a correct verdict

breach in the democracy he closed

after that both wings can unite bar-
inoniously in all elections in the

o’clock. The neffs, which spread so
sadly over Greede county, will be re
ceived with regret all over flic State
where Mr, Lewis was known and uni
versally liked. He was a native of
Greene- county—was educated at
Emory college, graduating in the first
class which left the halls of that honr
ored institution. He married Miss
Thomas, of Newton * county, afyer
having studied law and been admitt
ed to the bar, when he settled in
Monroe, Walton county. Back to
his native county, however, full- soon
his footsteps turned,'and his career of
honesty and eminence was made
among his own people and near his
old li<;nie. .He was tor many years
associate-1 in law practice with the
Hon. Y. P. King, who was at one
time United States Minister to Bogo

CHARGE TJTE FI-ST.
In his answer to the first charge
made against him by Mr. Norwood,
as the representative oi a large por
tion of the people of the State, Govs
ernor Colquitt devotes himself to tho
maintenance of the . legality of the
North-E.istern bonds. To keep the
merits ,of the' charge and answer
clearly before him, the reader must
bear in mind that Mr. Norwood dis-
tinctly declared that he was not dis
easing,and should not disenss that
point, because it is one about which
there is' a difference amongst the bar
of the State. He was discussing only
the manner and time of the indorse
ment, which ho said was such as to
cause scandal, *and create in ^the
minds of many people impressions
detrimental to the . administration.
In making this statement Mr. Nor
wood uttered a fact that no intelligent
man in the State will deny. Govern*
or Colquitt does not deny it, bat says
that the general assembly, after a fall
investigation of the whole matter, de
clare^ his motives pure. Governor
Colqnilt thus admits the truth of the

daily re.co<>k> d by, a burning Au
gust-sun. Tliere had be^u no pro
vision (excuse me if yOn please) for
sucb a contingency, add the lunch
seemed not delicious, until, to speak
as did Mrs. Micawber, “the larder
became absolutely empty.” Then—
but the ‘.‘horror ot my thoughts fly
the sad remembrance.” I nan, how
ever,'mention with more equanimity
tho decidedly tointry expressions,—
the consequence of being refused a
uight’s lodging at a farm house miles
from the next village. The frigid
diguity of “the master,” his ungra- 1
cious reflections upon strangers, his
rude suggestion that there was a
“good moon” and that we could not
“miss the way.” “Instinct is a great
matter,” says Shakspeare. That man
was inhospitable “on instinct.”' He
had refused entertainment to a dis
tinguished educationalist, then a resi

statesman.” News a week old “went

sisted his self-invited guests into hi*

an animated political discussion. Could
