'Tt is seTdonTthat one has a more
sorrowful accident to record than
that which resulted in the death of a
bright little-boy in our city last Sun
day. It seems that a little before
sundotfc that evening, two little
boys, sons of Capt. and Mrs. W. T.
Mapp, of this city, were in then-
father’s garden driving chickens off'
the tnrnip bed, and each one was af
ter a different chicken. The youn.-
gerof the two, aged about 8 years,
r threw at a chicken, and his older
brother, Franklin, ran in front so
that the stone hit him just behind
the ear. The wound did not seem
dangerous as the skin was not broken,
bufthe little fellow lived bnt a short
while, hardly an hour, haying bled
to il«ath inwardly. We suppose that
•the lick severed an artery. The pa
rents of the little boy have the sin-
cerest sympathy of ail our people,
who feel that this death came not
from any lack of care on the part of
any one, but was simply one of those
mischances for which human reason
tos unable to account.
The deceased was buried yester-
■ day evening, and his remains were
■followed to the cemetery by a large
concourse of sympathising friends of
the distressed family.—Rome Cou

The many friends of Capt. and
"Mrs. Mapp here and wherever they
arc known will deeply sympathise
with them in their shocking be
reavement.

Emergent Legislation.
Ours is a constitution made for n
crisis to prevent crises hereafter for
ever—to tie np the people so that
they can’t hurt themselves, however
hard they may try. The idea is that
when we, the legislators, die, there
will be very little sense left, and
therefore [let ns put ours, like the
Egyptian mummy, in shape for ever
lasting preservation. Bnt it is all a
mistake. Successive generations
come and go, and generally improve
on the methods and facillities for tak
ing care themselves. They say old
forgies with a mnch stronger voice
than we say young fools, and ail our
schemes to give an unperishable vi
tality to our remedies for the evils of
onr own time and day will be brush
ed aside as the antequated cobwebs.
Nothing will live in fundamental or
statute law which is not based on
the eternal principles of right, justice
and sound usage. All these trashy
laws which Georgia has been floating
or trying to float for twenty-five or
tnirly years—laws to evade or annual
■ contracts—law giving special reme-
• dies to favored classes—stay laws and
Nien laws, and so on, will only figure
as monuments to folly and injustice.
Whatever in onr statutory sys’em
(in short), the offspring of what is
called an emergency—a crisis—a
■sensation or prejudice, will only fig
ure in the inture as a badge of fraud
jind folly.

retary of State—Col. Nathan Craw

So says the Warrenton C’.jp^-r. We
notice, however, that th<i Clipper
seems to think thataP. the. bad results
that come from fne present State
government, as v>e]l all the alleged
bad results, arr clearly chargeable to
Governor Colquitt. The Clipper
seems to t.mve got hold of a rule that
won’t tv or k Loth ways.
The trath is, Governor Colquitt’s
administration has been a good one.
'i.'hat there are defects iu it, has not
be-in denied, even by the most ardent
friends of the Governor. So there
have been in every administration
Georgia has had, and there always
will be as long as humanity is fallible.
The right wav is to give the Gover
nor and other State officers credit
when they deserve it, and blame
when they deserve that.
The fact is, the investigations now
pending, in relation to the State offi
cers, were instigated and begun by
the “organized and if any officers
are found guilty, they will be proper
ly punished by the “organized.” It
is a credit—-a vast and lasting credit
—to the Democrats of Georgia that
they will not tolerate corruption, or
the suspicion thereof, in their own
ranks. Their readiness to investi
gate the conduct of officers elected
by themselves, is the strongest proof
they can give of the purity of the
party. They are now holding their
public servants to an account in a
way that any party might be proud
of. The man who talks abo it
“white-washing” by the Democrats
of Georgia, is simply babbling his
own folly. The Democrats put these
men into office, and if they have be
come crooked, the Democrats are go
ing to put them out. The party re
pudiates wrong in its own body, and
is now at work purging itself. There
are bad men among the Democrats,
bnt they will not be kept in office.
The exodns fever is breaking ont
among the colored people in the
country. The happiest promise of
fered for Kansas is a white wife for
every man and a white husband for
every woman. This is no joke, but
the actual truth. The poor fools are
being deluded with this promise.
We do not know whether miscege
nation is lawful in Kansas or not
but would warn our negro friends
against the folly of such a hope.
Even if they could marry a Kansas
white woman Bhe would be no ac
count—not worth going that far
after. Go, if yon want to, bnt if
you value yonr own peace, let alone
the Yankee white trash. One en
thusiastic buck says he would stick
his arm in the (ire and burn it off to
the shoulder, to get to marry one of
the Kansas white ladies.—Rome

Collector Clark, the general rev.

government officials accepting pre

been preferred against him for this
violation, and Clark pleads ignorance,

from its staff, won for him the ad
miration of his comrades, and in
spired the brave defenders of old
Moultrie with a loftier heroism.
For this act he was offered a com
mission by Governor Rutledge, who
said to him: “You have won a sword,
sir, and yon must wear it.” Nay,
sir,” replied Jasper, “I am not wor
thy of the trust; adversity has been
my only schoolmaster, liberty my on
ly Bcboolmistress. I can not mingle
with those who are superior to me in
education and manners without ex
posing myself to deserved contempt
Let me alone; let me serve my coun
try iu the way that suits me best, as
an humble and devoted laborer in the
cause of freedom.” Governor Rat-
ledge yielded to this refusal, but pre
sented him with the sword which the
Governor wore about his person.
Probably the most desperate feat
of arms of the Revolution was the
release by Jasper and Newton of
about twelve American prisoners and
the capture of the guaid of ten Brit
ish soldiers. The circumstances
surrounding thiscxploit were roman
tic in the extreme and worthy of the
days of chivalry. While- recou-
noitering the British camp at Ebene-
zer, Jasper learned from a Mrs. Jones
that her husband, then in irons char
ged with desertion ot the royal cause,
was about to be sent with other prison
ers to Savannah, there to be tried,
and, doubtless, execute’. Thedistieis
of the poor woman and her child
touched the heart fo the impulsive
Irishman, and he formed the desper
ate resolution of attempting a rescue.
The pii60uers, under guard, started
far Savannah. Jasper and Newton
followed them until the party arrived
at what is now known as Jasper
Springs, abuut'two miles from Sa
vannah, oil the Augusta road. Here
the guard stopped lor water, resting
their arms against the trees. Jasper
and Newton each seiz-d a musket,
shot two of the guard down, dashed
out the brains of two mure ->ith tl.o
clubbed guns, leaped between the re
maining st.\ soldiers and the other
muskets and possessing themselves
of the loaded weapons, compelled the
surrender of Die six, released the
prisoners, escorted them to the
American army at Purysburg, and
safely returned Jones to his wife aud
child.
The death of Jasper was in keep
ing with his life. The attack on Sa
vannah was disastrous. The French
and Americans were repulsed; the
bugle had sounded the retreat when
the flag which Mrs. Elliot hud pre
sented to him, and which he had
promised to guard “until eternity,”
was seen by him trailing in the dust.
Lieutenants Buslie and Iltiine had
been killed while bearing that ban
ner, and it was from llnme’s dying
grasp that Jasper seized it at the
close of the action and the day. Jas
per made good his promise. lie
guarded it “until eternity.” While
bearing it he fell, and in falling said
o Major Htirry, a companion iu arms,
“I have got my fnrlongb. That
sword was presented to me by Gov
ernor Rutledge for my services in the
defense of Fort Moultrie. Give it to
my father, tell him I have worn it
with honor. If he should weep, tell
him his son died in the hope of a bet
ter life. Tell Mrs. Elliot that I lost
my life supporting the colors she pre
sented to our regiment. If you
should ever see Joues, his wife and
son, tell them that Jasper is gone,
but that the remembrance of the bat
tle which he fought for them brought
a secret joy to his heart when it was
about to stop its motion forever.
Tell all my friends who shall re
member to ask for me that their
poor friend has fought his last fight,
has struck his last blow; and may
the blessings of Providence rest upon
my country and her cause.”
“So fell Sergeant Jasper; his last
blowstrnck iu the cause of America;
his last shout a gathering erv for the
defense of her honor; his last wish
a prayer for her prosperity! So fell
Sergeant Jasper. The sand of oui
streets has drunk np^his blood, and
the soil of our city has encompassed
his bones. Who has written his epi
taph ? Who has built up his monu
ment?”
To write his epitaph, to build his
monument is the object of our Asso
ciation, and it should be onr proudest
pleasure as it is onr most sacred du
ty. Let then the lovers of liberty
everywhere unite with us in rearing
a tribne to modest heroism, as exem
plified in the life and death of Wil
liam Jasper.

Thus Sakyamuni, the founder „oXthis

the blissful end, to be attained when
the last vestige of sin has bein erudi
cated by the purifying process of
transmigration, is Nirvana—the eter
nal rest of annihilation; ceasing to
be. One world suppose that such a
creed must destroy all the spiritual

teaching one great lesson, if no more
—that the belief in immortality, nat
ural as it seems to us, inestimably
precious as it is to us, is not, iu the
opinion of a third of the human
umily, indispensable to religion.
“This lesson indirectly suggests a
kind of immortality which, we think,
receives far less attention than it de
serves. Shakspcare, speaking through
Marc Antony, says : “The evil that
men do lives after them ; the good is
oft interred with their bones.’ If the
sentence were reversed it would be
nearer the truth. Much, very much,
of the evil done perishes with the
evil-doer, bnt every substantial good,
large or small, is, in one way or an
other, immortal. Take Sliakspeare
himself as an illustration. His pri
vate life—i: we may trust the scanty
and doubtful biographies-had much
in it that had better been omitted ;
bnt the evil he may have wrought
has long since faded into oblivion,
while the benefits bis matchless ge
nius conferred upon mankind grow
brighter and dearer with the flying
years. Johnson’s oft quoted line has
a deep meaning : -Not of an age, but
for all time.’ The man Shakespeare
was ‘of an age,’ and died two hnu-
dred and sixty-three years ago. The
poet Shakespeare ‘for all time,’ and
lives more really and vividly to-day
than whtn he walked the earth. A
spoonful of dust is all that is left of
his body, but his braiu grasps the
world. If we could believe that
such a majestic intellect was quench
ed forever in the grave, yet interwo
ven as its products are with the cul
ture of humanity and keeping pace
with the development of nnmanity,
is it not practicallv immortal ? Sup
pose the soul of Newton were blot
ted out of existence at his expiring
breath, did it end then and there ? la
not its work still going on ? Can we
imagine the time will ever come
when the intellectual influences set
in motion by the man who found
and fixed the keystone of the uni
verse will cease to operate ? If we
cannot, is not Newton to all intents
and purposes immortal, even if we
accept the dismal doctrines of Budd
ha or the cold creed of materialism ?
Washington, is he not imrmrtal ?
Does not his spirit still inspireevery
people straggling for liberty, every
soldier and statesman who; prefers
duty to glory ar d public welfire to
personal fame ? Can his example ev
er die? Will it not live and bsathe
and burn while sentient being* ten
ant this'planet ? Whoever coitnb-
ntes, however’little, to the’ stock of
human happiness or knowledge, or
aids ever so feebly the slow and stea
dy march of human progress, has
won the prize of immortality. His
name may be forgotten, but th< seed
he planted will have its fruits reck
oned at the great harvest-home. No
noble and unselfish life, hovever
humble and obsenre, can feel tie fin
ger of annihilation. . It carries the
immortal principle in its boson. It
has added to the sum of goolness
and goodness is a celestial crature
that conquers death. No kinc act
or word, carelessly done or spken
though it may be, can die. It touch-
and Constitutionalist for following
summary of the articles, which are
formally set out at great length, with
the precision of a good pleader, but
the substance and gra amen of the
charges are given in the summary:
