ADVERTISER. ADVERTISER PUBLISHING CO. Cedartown, Ga., July 31. WM. BRADFORD, - Editor Tlic Coimet Lea e. 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 #100 and a suit of clothes, the office will soon cease to be remunerative. They should make an example of that fellow Wright, and ail other low-price bribers. The dignity of the profession must be sustained. 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.

M., Author of “100,000 Facts for the People,” “Cyclopedia of Things Worth Knowing,” etc. Anchor Publishing Company, At- 1: nh>, Ga. 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 der and system that information on 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 ination cannot fail to c >nvince the most skeptical of its value and util ity.

Black died at his residence near Greenville last Friday, aged about seventy-five years. The press of the state are unani mous, so far as we can learn, in their opposition to the law empowering juries to recommend imprisonment for life in murder cases, and it is most likely the law will he repealed. It should never have been enacted.— Berrien County Hews. Albany Advertiser: General Gor don’s sheep ranch does not comprise “forty thousand acres,” and negro convicts are not “enclosing it with a stone fence.” There is not enough stone in Southern and ssuthwest Georgia to build an old-fashioned stone chimney, much less a fence for a sheep ranch. 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 porations, and when a measure an 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 Echo.

The Dalton Citizen says the pota to bug has made its appear .-nee in that section. An Infidel’s »e to a Chris* The Rev. Otemider Clark, ol Pittsburg, Pa., a Journalist and the editor ot a Methodist organ, whose death was recently announced) has received most eulogistic and tender tributes from the religious press ol the country. He died in Georgia some two weeks ago, while he was the guest of Governor Colquitt. As 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 trious theological opponent. Now that Mr. Clark is dead, Col. Ingersoll lias paid the following tribute to the manliness und kindness of the de ceased : 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 pridFTn the belief that they have a legislative body that will not be re luctant to a vigilant and close appli ance of the pruning knife. Let the investigation go on if it shakes the foundation of the State House.— North Georgia Citizen. 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 the snbjectof railroads, his pet hob by. last Tuesday night, in which he abused the Legislature roundly and called them fools and not as good as negroes if they did not pass the law regulating freight and passenger tariffs. The grand old man is fail ing sadly. His speech was spoken of nearly all who heard him as a complete failnre, and wonld have made any ordinary man the laugh ing stock of the community.— Southern Enterprise. 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 With the crash came a loud, ringing shout from the crowd: “111 he hanged if that didn’t shake yon.” This happy hit came from a small Eaton ton boy who has since made mark in the world. He is one of the spiciest writers and brightest stars in American journalism, and at roll call he sometimes answers to the name of “Uncle Ilemus.”—Ex. The member of the general as sembly who introduced the bill to stop the sale of liquors in the conn- try outside of the incorporated towns, a friend to society and desires to give protection to the sober, good people of the State where they now have none. The good, solid, sober and orderly population of the whole State are at the mercy of the drunk en desperado near every whisky shop in the State outside the towns. The wives and daughters of thousands of the best citizens of Georgia are exposed without remedy to the pro fanity and vulgarity of drunken persons, black and white, who are sent out from these cross-roads and wayside whisky shops in every part of the State. Confine, as far as jou can, these drunken folks to the •towns, where there are laws and reg ulations to control this profanity and vulgarity. Pass this bill in bebilf of public decency, and let the coun try whisky-seller move to town or go to work for a liviug, and your constituents will say you have served them in this matter faithfully and well.

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- uified. The General does not like newspi- pers, but this is an old dislike of ins and newspapers have learned to survive it; yet, were it not for sone very convenient and amiable news paper reporters, who Obsequiondy wait at the baek of his chair to re port and print his sayings, the word would soon forget the only nati’e adr.lt in all this country, who is n»t a citizen of the United States.—Cd- umbtts Times.

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. Robert G. Ingersoll. Mr, Stephens. 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 again call il to order, he made a few remarks, brief, pointed and full ot feeling. lie then retired. Mr. Ste phens is looking well, and appears to be in excellen spirits. Somehow his visit to the Senate had a strong effect. There is something about the pres ence of the man which inspires a profound respact even in those who do not take part iu the hero wor ship so lavishly bestowed on him. In his presence there can but come the memory of that long, useful and withal beautiful life; lull as it has been of suffering, fuii also of such triumph as no other Georgian ever knew. This frail man, connected with every great political movement of his time the central figure of the greatest of all the political oontest the Union has ever known, passing throngb all its storms, respected by one section and loved by the other, seeming to renew his Btrengih after bis failure, he is to-day confessedly the representative man of the whole South, whose power at Washington is felt throughout the country.

And when the honeymoon is past, the faithful Whitley stands ready to find a house, furnish it from cellar to attic, select the servants, and do the mark eting.

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.— Abbeville Press and Banner.
