Guitoau will hang. The 30th of
next June is the day set aside for his
demise.
5.000 people listened to Dr. Felton’s
speech in Augusta.
The 4th of July would be a good day
to hang Guitcau. Can’t Judge Cox
change his programme.
The - Gaificid monument fund at
Cleveland accumulates slowly, hut has
reached very nearly ?1,000,000.
Thomasville is to have a May fair,
under the auspecies of the Stock Breed
er’s Association. Bainbridge will go
over.
THE GUITEAU VERDICT-
It is stated on good authority that
Wiloy Redding the notorious negro
outlaw was shot and killed at Fairburn
the other day.
Some of our exchanges, it seems, are
determined to have Tilden in the next
Presidential contest. The old Roman
don’t want it.
All the boys jue putting in a good
word for Henry McIntosh and Arch
Miller the new daddies of the Albany
News and Advertises.
Thomasville wants the next governor
and lion. A. F. McIntyre is her favor
ite. Wo have uo objection. Ring up
the curtain, Triplett, and let the over
ture commence.
The elder Rothschild, William fl.
Vanderbiit, James W. Mackey, Jay
Gould, ex-Cover nor Crocker and C. P.
Huntington are believed to be the six
wealthiest men in the world.
Albany has a tough time with her
-artesiau well. While the boring of that
new one is going on suppose friend
Willingham discontinues h,s boring on
that lino. You can leave the heading
—“C) ar Artesian Wcli”—standing un
til the concern is finished.
“3hoof,” the Atlanta Correspondent
of the Savannah News thinks that Alec
Stephens should be the next Governor
of Georgia. Little Alec is too ould and
feeble. Ilis great mental powers, crip
pled by age and sickness, are unfit for
active service.
The proposition is made, and is being
actually considered at Washington, to
appeal to Congress for an appropriation
of $12,009 to give each juror iu the
Guiteau case §1,000. Just how such
an expenditure could be justified we
are unable to see, unless it be that a
just act on the part of a Washing
ton jury deserves reward
“Sanator Brown has at last introduced
a bill in the U. S. Senate which should”
says the Quitman Free Press ‘-immor
talize him if nothing else does. It is
to give every Stnator a clerk at a salary
of $1,200, the same to be paid by the
government. This man, worth half a
million and receiving a salary of five
thousand dollars, wants the government
to furnish him a clerk at the cost of
$1,200 per annum. If this aint cheek
you needn’t go to government mule to
find it. Wc arc happy to inform our
readme that both the sensible republi
cans and Democrats in Congress will set
down on Mr. Brown’s bill. This is a
fair sample of what your Uncle Joe is
doing for you in Congress.
Wo suggested last week that Hon.
W. E. Smith, of Albany would make
an excellent Governor and the News
and Advertiser endorses that suggestion
thusly : <l So far as the News and Adver
tiser is able to say, Capt, Smith is not,
like many other prominent Georgians, |
who are far less competent and worthy
than himself, thirsting for Gubernato-
to believe he would be rewarded by the
element he would bring into power.
There is nothing in that to show in
sanity. Every criminal is deceived in
the results of his crime. The burglar
who works very hard to get into a house
or a safe gets little or nothing for his
pains; compared to his investment. If
he does not go to the penitentiary he
becomes the tool of those who know
of the crime. We would punish nobody
il this want of discernment of the re*
suits of crime constituted insanity.
Things did not turn out as Guiteau ex
pected, nor is any correct in estimating
the consequences of his crime. Every
man who murders sees a sure escape for
him. Now the excitement between
the two Republican factions was in
deed remarkable. I recollect, before
this murder was committed, that I was
playing with my children on my grass
lawn one evening in Summer, thinking
about the strife up her? in the Senate.
I suddenly said to myself^ ‘Groat
God! there is but one life between
th 'Se two factions!’ There I stopped,
rather appalled that such a thought
should come info my mind. It was
but a little while afterward that the
President was piitrdered.”
‘•Da you think. Mr. Davidge, that
he was well defended ?”
“No; Mr. Scoviile is a cunning,
scheming mao, with no breadth, and
with but slight idea of the motive and
arguments which influence other men.
From the beginning to the end. his
idea was to confuse the minds of the
jury, and not by any one train of rea
soning, but by presenting a scattered
assemblage of small facts, t» get them
embarrassed as to insanity.”
“You indicated, Mr. Davidge, that
he had a better line of dofenso than
heriditary insanity 7”
“Yes. I think the result, however,
would have been the same with the
jury. I think a Washington jury
would have convicted Guitcau anyhow.
But there was opportunity for a new
departure, and a really novel argument
in such a murder. If the defense had
sbywn that this man’s structure was
so delicate and irresponsible that in the
storms of party passion, which left
other men erect, he was thrown down
and carried away, they might have left
him with a little dignity, at least.”
“Do you tbiuk this conviction will
be of benefit to the Government and
morals ?”
“Unquestionably. This city is pe
culiar. It’s constituency has no fixed
public opinion. Wc are full of cranks
here—odd people, many disappointed,
others egotistical, some presuming,
many of them dangerous. This verdict
establishes in the minds of such men
the certainty of punishment if they
understand the course of history ?”
“What do you think of the jury ?”
“Well, we have the. best juries here
that any city in this country can pro
duce. There is a higher order of in
telligence among the people of Wash
ington than any place I know of. It
is not book education, as in many of
the New England towns. It is obscr-
vasion—a certain degree of intercourse
with men who come here to direct
events. No man can get into Congress
unless he has some ability, of whatevei
kind it may be. In these boarding
houses and in various ways our people
have rubbed against these men. This
being the seat of law, they have pretyt
clear national notions of law.”

Disgraceful Procee dings at the Detroit
Opera House-
Detroit, Jan. 26.—Quite an excite
ment was stirred np at the Opera House
last night when Hen-man, the magiciaD,
was exhibiting. Between the perform
ances, the result of the Guitcau trial
was announced, when the audience at
once brode into loud applauses. Iu the
midst of the noise a hiss from the gal
lery was heard. As soon as the signs
of approbation had subsided a little, the
hiss became more audible, and there
were cries of condemnation. A special
officer instantly discovered the man who
was hissing, and stepping down the
steep aisle advised him to desist. This
attracted attention to him, and before
the officer could get him out of the
theatre a crowd of men and boys near
by pitched on the offender, and the fel
low was badly cut and .bruised by his
patriotic assailants and removed with
great difficulty. He managed to help
himself as soon as put outside the
building.
“This thing,” says the’ Columbus
Enquirer-Sun, “is getting a little mixed
and it will take a dozen Philadelphia
lawyers to straighten it if the foolishness
is not stopped. There is the Felton
independents, the Longstreet coalition,
the Arthur ultimatum, the Pledger
branch and the simon-pure republicans
—all against the bourborn democracy.
And now comes the New York Globe
edited by John Quarles, formerly a
Georgia republican, who says :
“The republicans and liberals of
Georgia threaten a coalition. As a
conciliatory move, it is reported that
W. A. Pledger, the colored chairman
of the central committee, has been
thrown overboard. This is a bad way
to begin a coalition that must find the
tower of its strength in the colored
vote. The liberal white man who ob
jects to having a colored chairman of a
committee had better remain in the
ranks of the bourborn democracy. If
the colored people of Georgia are to be
simply the tools of the proposed coali
tion they had better remain as they
are—a political nothing.”
Such snarls as the above make us ap
prehensive that the Markham House
conferees will not be able to deliver all
the goods which they contracted to put.
into the joint stock.
St. Louis belles complain that the
contemplated adornment of nv-sculiue
calve3 at la Oscar Wilde, is calculated
to work irreparable injury to the daz
zling eff.-cts of female finery. 11 is not
clear, however, to pur prudish intellect
how the expose of masniline knee
breeches and spangled tights can pos
sibly conflict with the visible costuming
of a reasonably modest young lady.
The ladies will still retain the inalien
ably privilege of ilia (lo.i licte, and lo
secure the powerful effect of a Grecian
statue it wU only be necessary to blend
the belle and her cavalier in the coming
full dress of the period.
Purest Drugs'
Some one called the yaukee a walk
ing note of interrogation, because he
was always asking questions. But
John Bull is truly a eot of quotation
marks, for he says and does everything
because some great English authority
has said or done it. The Frenchman
may be likened to an exolamatiou point,
for he is admiring or wondering at
something, and the Spaniard to a pa*
renthis, for his acts and words can be
left out of the present history of the
world without injury to the sense.
Spuing field, Rcbektsox Co.. Tenx.,
November 27, 1880-
Dk. J. Brvpfield—Sir: My daughter
has been suffering for many years with that
dreadful affliction known as Female Disease,
which has cost roe many, dollars, and not
withstanding I had the best medical attend
ance, could not find relief. I have used
many other kinds of medicine without any
effect. I had jur.t about given her up, was
out of heart, l*ut happened in the store of
W, W. Eekler several weeks since, and he
knows of my daughter’s affliction pursuaded
we to try a bottle of ycur Female Regulator.
She berpin to improve at once. I was so de
lighted with its effect that 1 bought several
move bottles.
The price, SI .50 a bottle, seemed to he
very high at first, hut I now think it the
cheapest preparation on the globe and
knowing what I do about it, if to-day one of
my. family was suffering wilh that awful
disease I w.iulu have it if it cost $50 a bottle,
for I can truthfully say it has cured my
daughter sound and well, and myself and
wife do most, heartily recommend your Fe
male Regulator to be jnst what it is recom
mended to be.
Respect tully,
