Not very long ago a great dAl was said,in a certain “leading daily’* pot a thousand miles from Augusta, aty>ut Mr. Stephens having “deserted a life long friend by the way-irtde.” It is now intimated that the same loyalty to a friend that was so beautifully commended intthat quarter last winter wotdd, had it been exhibited -on a recent occasion, have placed' Joseph B. Camming in the gubernatorial chair of Georgia. Gmifield is on his travels Wherever there is a crowd, there he is on exhibition. Ho lias been show ing off in New York and at all the railroad stations between that city and Mentor. Every day’s dispatches report a speech hy him—a . pretty speech, with as little in it as possible. He isn’t afraid of saying nothing too often. Ho parade* himself aa proud ly as Scott' did in 1852. He speaks as often as Greeley d",d in 1862. These •were both unsuccessful. lie lips nope of the modesty of Zachary Taylor. He ha* none of the reticence of Ulys ses Grant. Both of these were suc cessful. ’ Governor 'Colquitt says lliul"hc re- plies by letter in the Atlanta Consti- tution to the speech or Mr, Norwood because official duties make it impossi ble for him to accompany Mr.' Nor wood over the entire State “and meet the charges face to tace” Far be it from us to doobt that the 1 Governor gives the real capse for hia chosen method oi reply, but >,V« cannot he unmindful tbatt it baa not been verf l>ng ago that he did dot find' it im possible,’on- acebdiMfofficial duties traverse a wide portion of the .State when .tho occasion fordoing so was much lew urgent, than the ono that pow oOriftonte hiirf.'J 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 ipipiigration. Georgia has passed a stringent usury law. Only twelve' States and Territories have ho laws against usury. New Hampshire has offered a liounty for the manufacture of; beet Sugar. Louisiana requires every person carrying on business or a profession oxcept agriculture jnd a few ol\|eps t° pay a special; 1'cense 'fee.' : V.' Hit . ■ i , « ' ,TUE ISSUE JOINED. We begin to-day the publication of the pleadings in the case'of the People versus the Governor of Geor gia; the former declaring ther com plaints through their representative,- the lien. T. M. Norwood,and the lat ter making and* er for hhnself through the coiufims of his organ, the Consti tution, a paper published in die city of Allouta. ■ Our space does not al low us to publish all the pleadings at once. We will have to limit our 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 he rendered, and the temporary breach in the democracy he closed with the governor’s election, so that after that both wings can unite bar- inoniously in all elections in the future. ANOTHER GOOD MAR 6 ORE SUDDEN DEATH OF BON. MILES W. LEWIS. (Chronicle and Constitutionalist, 25th.] & A telegram was yesterday received in the city, announcing the death of Hon. Miles W. Lewis,which incurred at his residence, nine miles front Greensboro. His death was* very suif den, his intimate friends' had no intin. matron oi hia dangerous condition indeed on Saturday he * was sees bf ( ■Greensboro by hirf associates, |ppar> 'antly in good health, lie passed away yesterday morning at- nine 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 ta Mr. Lewis represented Greene county lor a number, of terms in the house of representatives of tba Slate, and had been repeatedly s-nt liy his district to the State senate. Indeed, he was the chosen name to he prei sented to the senatorial convection 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 first charge, for, If it were not tree ... - ‘• *«en “scanua1,” and irimentaf'to the of the XIXth district, t<> meet next A V*.

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.

That man was inhospitable “on instinct.”' He had refused entertainment to a dis tinguished educationalist, then a resi dent of the University city; a promi nent candidate for congressional hon- statesman.” News a week old “went round,’’ and a tattered copy of the Daily Banner was read-witlj surpris ing avidity.
