If the arguments of Mr. Boyd,
of the Senate, are a fair specimen of
what can be said against the pn sent
system ot leasing convicts, the lessees
certainly have nothing to f ar.
Stripped of all unnecessary flourish
es his speech amounts to this: II--
hud a “friend” in the chain gang who
got whipped, and he is mad about it.
The tenor of Mr. Boyd’s remarks
loads us to suspect that the wrong
one of this modem edition of Damon
and Pythias got into the penitentiary.
If Mr. Boyd knows half as much
about illegal practices on the part of
the lessees as he insinuates he does,
Repeal the Law-
State Sews.
The killing of Lambert in Haral
son county in April, 1878, was one
of the coolest,blackest, bloodiest mur
dors known to the annals of crime
in Georgia, and it is a matter of no
little surprise to intelligent, think
iug people that two successive juries
after finding, ns ihey say, one of the
guilty parties, should put it beyond
the power of the officers of the law
to meet out adequate punishment |
for the dastardly, cowardly deed by l
interposing their recommendations
to shield him. The slayers of Lam
bert as richly deserve hanging as
ever did red-handed outlaws.
Rowe was one of them he should
have been promptly hung-d; if he
was not one of them he should have
been honorably discharged. It was
not a case that could be comproniis
id withont compromising the integ
rity of the law and the welfare of
society.
ft has been erroneously stated
be would long ago, if he is an honest
legislator, have moved a committee I that Col. R. A. Alston’s murderer was
of investigation and had the guilty the first man to receive the benefit
parties exposed and punished. St ill,
he had “rather see Georgia, with all
her sweet memories of the past, with
ering in the throes of financial ruin
than to see her so unjust to her citi
zens.” Mr. Boyd, like most ranting
reformers, admits that he has no bet
ter plan to offer, but is, in a general
way, willing that we shall “control
them, protect them and shelter them
from cruelty,” even if we get no
revenue from them and have to pay
#200,000 a year for their support,
Mr. Boyd’s philanthropy and states
manship are of a variety much too
transcendental for this practical age.
Most people have not the mental
acumen necessary to perceive why,
when a man outrages society and
outlaws himself, he should not be
made to aid in footing the bill of ex
peuses incurred in punishing him
for his crimes. They think that so
ciety has some rights as well as the
law breakers, and one of these is its
right to protect itself from such
characters; and jf, in doing this,
harsh measures are sometimes re
sorted to, the culprit has only his
evil, unlawful acts to thank or blame
for the result. If he had behaved
himself there would have been no
necessity for a'convict lease. If Mr,
Boyd has a superabundance of sym
pathy he might find more worthy
objects for it in the thousands of
honest people who have been robbed,
the wives who have been widowed
and the children who have been or
phaned by the desperate and lawless
acts of his “friends.” Mr, Boyd is
so outraged at the thought of whip
ping criminals to make them obedi
ent that he entirely loses sight of
the grosser injustice of taxing lion
est, law-abiding people #200.000 per
annum to support them m idleness.
He opposes utilizing their labor on
farms because it is cheaper and puts
free labor at’ a disadvantage. By
precisely the same argument they
should be excluded from all other
industrial pursuits, and, consequent
ly, should not be worked at all.
The present system of leasing
convicts is doubtless imperfect and
needs some supplementary legisla
tion to improve it, but nearly all
the objections that we have seen
urged against it would apply with
equal force to the old system of con
fining them in a penitentiary. The
execution of the law has to be dele
gated to some one at last, and we
'think there is much greater likeli
hood of their being well cared for
-and humanely treated hy lessees
•whose interest it is to keep them
in good health and bodily vigor than
hy paid officials who are only inter
ested in doing the least possible
amount of work for their wages.
For more than twelve months past
we have been so situated that we
have had almost daily opportunities
for observing and inspecting the
management of one of the convict
camps, and we say, unhesitatingly,
that the treatment of the prisoners
is as kind and humane as a proper
•enforcement of the law would pos-
fibly admit They are well clothed,
well fed, have competent medical at
tention and treatment and do no more
work per day than the free hired
laborers who work with them. If
the other camps are managed as well
as throne near this place, the con
victs have cause, and do doubt do
bless the day the lease contract was
madp. The most serious objection,
that we have observed, to the pres
ent system is the greater number
of escapes that necessarily occur.
Haralson Superior Court.
The attention of the court was en
grossed all of last week in considing
the case of the state vs, Jim Rowe,
charged with the mntder of Lambert
last year. The trial resulted in ver
dict of guilty, with a recommendation
to mercy’, and he was sentenced to
the penitentiary for life. His coun
sel made a motion for a new trial and
the J udge gave thain 10 days to pre
pare their papers.
If Georgia legislators are going to
allow the price of their signatures to
be run down to the low figure of

will soon cease to be remunerative.
They should make an example of

of the law, introduced by Alslon, to
allow juries to protect murderers by
interposing a recommendation to
mercy. Rowe was the first, and
will doubtless be the last, beneficiary
of that act. It should be promptly
repealed. It may be a good law in
the abstract, but in its practical
workings it has thus far failed to
prove beneficial, save to the law-
breakers.

This is a book whose value, to the
bi sinees men of the country, can
scarcely be over-estimated. It is a
complete and comprehensive guide
for the successful prosecution of all
the details of modern business, giv
ing minute directions on hundreds
of important subjects with such or

any desired point can be readily
and quickly had hy reference to its
pages. It has forms for all kinds of
legal and commercial documents in
use in ordinary business, such as
orders, notes, bonds, deeds, mortga
ges, leases, quit claims, guarantees,
etc., etc. To give anything like a
comprehensive sketch of the con
tents of the volume and its many
valuable lists would require more
space than we have. We merely
desire, in this brief notice, to direct
the attention of those in need of
such a book to this one. An exam

Wo do not consider it proper for
the members of our general assem
bly to accept Iree rides from railroads
in the State. It naturally places
them under obligations to these cor

tagonistic to the lines that thus favor
them is brought up they cannot act
in an unbiased and independent
manner. Railroads, like humanity,
are not in the habit of giving some
thing for nothing, and when they
distribute these free passes it is in
tended as nothing more hor less
than a general bribe.—Oglethorpe

death was recently announced) has
received most eulogistic and tender
tributes from the religious press ol

some two weeks ago, while he was

a journalist Mr. Clark had been
somewhat conspicuous for his zeal in
combatting the views of Col. Inger-
soil, while treating that gentleman
with personal fairness. He once
visited him in his Peoria home, and
iu a published letter spoke in the
very highest terms of the personal
and domestic character of his illus

The people had hoped that their
State was purged of corruption in
high places by the overthrow of
radicalism, but it seems that there
is more cleansing of this sort to be
accomplished; and Georgians take

legislative body that will not be re

We cannot repress the apprehen
sion that the Democratic party of
Georgia has reached a critical ago
is its progress. Its history since it
threw off the rule of carpet-bagism
imposed by military power has been
i proud one, and its management of
State affairs has been eminently ben
eficial and successful. If its unity
should now be destroyed, we cannot
tell what immediate evils may befall
us, or when the breach will be healed
and harmony restored. Onr local
divisions may become as inveterate
as those of New'York, and the “Em
pire State of the South,” lixe the
“Empire State of the North,” may
for many years be distracted by in
trigues and demoralized by the cor
ruptions and antagonisms of “rings”
and factions.—Atlanta Dispatch.
Gen. Toombs made a speech on

In 1860 the Donglass and John
son ticket was very strong in Eaton-
ton. An appointment was made for
Gov. Herschel V. Johnson to speak.
A platform was erected in the “City
Grove,” and a large concourse of
people assembled. In enunciating
the principles of his party,Gov. John
son grew eloquent, and in the course
of his remarks said: “On this platform
I take my stand, and all the com
bined powers of hell aud earth can
not shake me.” As the words
dropped from his lips, the platform
from which he spoke gave wav, and
down came the Governor with it

shout from the crowd: “111 he

Gen, Toombs on Railroads.
We published yesterday a shoit re
port of the speech of Gen. Toombs,
made by invitation, before tbemm-
b:rs of the Legislature upon the
railroad policy <ti the State. Of
course whatever Gen. Toombs says
is well and forcibly said, b"ut
could not help thinking while red
ing his reported remarks that tie
members of the Legislature most
have felt humiliated, if not insulted,
by the speaker. For men of iuteli-
gence, and with the responsibilities
of Senators and Representatives on
their shoulders, to set in their othi
halls and be told by their invited
guest that if they did not agree with
him, that they had better resign atid
go home and send “niggers” back in
their places, was centamly a mist
remarkable circumtance, “And wlat
was equally remaikable was the fret
that such “hits” elicited “laugher
and applause.”
We are afarid that Gen. Toomls,
who is unquestionably one of tie
very best intellects of the country, s
becoming unduly fond of the “iaugli-
ter and applause” that is very cheap
ly found among those who p: etr
amusement to instruction. Georgia
is proud of General Toombs—she las
no son of whom she is more proud—
but she is learning with regret tint
even he can say things on occasions
when she sits in her rubes to heir
him that are both unwise and unde-

kind—this earnest man made me his
friend by being mine. I forgot that
he was a Christian, and he seemed
to forget that I was not, while each
remembered that the other was a
man.
Frank, candid, and sincere, he
practiced what he preached, and
looked with the holy eyes of charity
upon i lie failings and mistakes of
men. He believed in the power of
kindness, and spanned ivitb divine
sympathy the hnieous gulf that sep
arates the fallen from me pure.
Giving freely to others the rights
that he claimed for himself, it never
occurred to bipn that his God hated
a brave and hdnest unbeliever. He
remembered that even an infidel has
rights that love respects; that hatred
lias no saving power; and that,
order to be a Christian, it is not nec
essary to become less than a man.
He knew that no one can be ma
ligned into kiuduess; that epithets
cannot convince; that curses are
not arguments; and that the fin^
of scorn never points towards Hea
ven. With the generosity of
honest man, he accorded to all the
fullest liberty of thought, knowing,
as he did, that in the realm of mimi
a chain is hut a curse.
For this man 1 entertained the
profoundest respect. In spite of Cre
tan nts aud jeers of his brethren, he
publicly proclaimed that he would
treat infidels with fairness and re
spect; that he would endeavor
convince them by argument aud w
them with love. He insisted that tl.
Co.l he worshipped loved the Weil b.
mg even of an atheist. Iu this grand
position he stood almost alone. Ten
tier, just aud loving, where others
were harsh, vindictive and cruel, he
challenged the respect and aduiir;
lion of every honest man. A lew
more such clergymen might dri
calumny from ttie lips of faith and
render the pulpit wort, y of respect,
The heartiness and kindness witli
which this generous man treated me
can uever be excelled. He admitted
that I hud not lost, and canid nul
lose, a single ri bt by the expreBioirl Iocalit
of my honest thought. Neither did
he believe that a servant could win
the respect of a generous mas er hy
persecuting aud maligning those
whom the master would willingly
forgive.
While this good man was living,
his brethren blamed him with having
treated me with fairness. But I
trust now that he has left the shore
touched by the mysterious sea that
has never yet borne on any wav
the image of a jiomeward sail, this
crime will be forgiven him by those
who still remain to preach the lov
of God.
llis sympathies were not confined
within the prison ol a creed, but
ran out over the walls l’ke vines,
hiding the cruel rocks and rusted
bars with leaf and flower. He eoulu
not echo with his heart the fiehilish
sentence of eternal lire. Iu spite of
book aud creed, he read “between
the lines” the words of tenderness
and love, with promises for all the
world. Above, beyond the dogmas
of his church; humane even to the
verge of heresy; causing some to
doubt his love of God because he
failed to hate his unbelieving fellow-
men—he labored for the welfare of
mankind, and to his work gave up
his life witli all his heart.

While the Senate was in its dull,
daily routine Thursday there occur
red an episode which was indeed re-
freshing. There was a flurry at the
door and people in the galleries began
to lean over and look at somj one
about to eDter. The Senate paid lit
tle attention to the bill that was be-
iug read, and the Secretary stopped
in the middle of a sentence. Alex
ander Stephens was about to enter
the hall. He came in leaning on his
crutch and the shoulder of his hody
servant. The Senate rose, and there
was applause on the floor and in the
galleries. A recess of five minutes
was taken that the Senators might
make their respects to “the great
Commoner.” When the Senate was

remarks, brief, pointed and full ot
feeling. lie then retired. Mr. Ste

visit to the Senate had a strong effect.

withal beautiful life; lull as it has
been of suffering, fuii also of such

him with a complete outfit, with

variety, a pony to ride or a piano and
a skillful teacher; food to eat, books
to read, a house to live in, or a circu

sires to marry, Whitelhy kindly
takes charge of the whole affair; he
furnishes the trousseau, the wedding
breakfast, the clergyman, and tickets
for the wedding tour, and looks care
fully after the b-'ggage. And when
the honeymoon is past, the faithful
Whitley stands ready to find a
house, furnish it from cellar to attic,

his customers when they die, he
provides a neat faneral, furnishes

arrow is as apt to come down on a

Some girls squint np one eye and
hang out their tongue when they
pull the bow. This is not absolutely
necessary to a line shot, though it
does look romantic.
There is no particular distance to
be observed, but the nearer the target
you stand the moTe chance you have
of hitting some one across the street

A centre shot is called a “duffer;”
missing tne target is termed a “lone

known as a “Whoopee;” missing the

The greatest discovery of our day, so far as a
large portion of humanity is concerned, is CAR
BOLINE, an article prepared from petroleum, and
which effects a complete and radical
baldness, or where the hair, owing to diseases ofi
the scalp, has become thin and tends to fall out.
It is also a speedy restorative, and while
cures a luxuriant growth of hair, it also brings bade
the natural color, aud gives the most complete sat
isfaction in the n*ing. The falling out of tho hair,
the accumulations of dandruff, and the prematuro
change in color are all evidences of a diseased con
dition of tho scalp and the glands which nourish the
hair. To arrest these canscs the article used must
possess medical os wtTIl as chemical virtues, and the
change mast begin under the scalp to be of perma
nent and lasting benefit. Such on article is CAR
BOLINE, and, like many other wonderful discov-

While the city dailies have beea
wonderfully improved of late years
many of their country cousins have
advanced m equal ratio. Observing
the great advantages which the city
dailies have derived from the tele-
_ aqrtiie combinations by which they
edit the nfws department of tljcir
respective papers, a portion of the
country editors conceived the idea of
forming a cooperative plan f not only
for editing, but also lor printing a
portion of tlieir sheets, as when the
type is set the oost of printing a num
ber of papers is not much more than
the cost of printing a single paper,
There being no objection to using
tbe saute type in printing papers
widely separated, offices were estab
lished for this work and a number
of mpers adapted the plan.
This plan of publishing country
newspapers originated about twelve
years ago, and so beneficial has it
proved that to-day are to be found
three thousand newspapers in every
section of the United States, as well
as throughout the British provinces,
which are being published on that
plan. As a consequence it has
wrought as great a revolution in the
country newspapers as the “Associa
ted Tress” has effected on the oity
daily. The improved appearance of
these papers and the increased
amount of reading matter furnished
by them has stimulated the home
printed papers ta greater efforts, and
in this way the effects of the system
are felt upon all the newspapers.—

completely deodorized that it i® in proper condition

effect of petrolenm upon the hair was first obsorved,
a Government officer haring noticed that a partially
bald-headed aervant of hi-*, when trimming the
lamps, had a habit of wiping his oil-besmeared
hand® in hi® scanty lcck®, v and the result was in a
few months a much finer head of block, glossy hair
than be ever had before. The oil was tried on
horse® and cattle that b;ul lost their hair from the
cattle plague, and the result® were as rapid as they
were marvelous. The manes and even the tails of
horses, which had fallen oat, wore completely re
stored ih a few week®. These experiments were
heralded to the workl, bnt the knowledge was prac
tically nseles® to the prematurely bald and gray, as
no one in civilized society could tolerate tho use of
refined petroleum a® a dressing for the hair. But tha
