They very wisely heeded this advice, until Sunday, when a large cibwd of their Mends came in to see them, and who persuaded the prisoners \ to re main where they are and not lited the advice of Mr. Echols: saying ihat if they onee went to the penitentiary they would never get out. As soon as left alone Sheriff Weir was notified of their change of mind. He had already Ga., to Rabun Gap,'lifo Athens;’ but Af ter the road had reached what is now Union Point a branch line was chartered to Marihavill*), now known as Atlanta. But the Athens prong was the main liue, and is so designated in the charter of this road, notwithstanding that oar little terminal city is now considered as only being on a branch. Tlte charter also said that the road niusc build its de pot in the town of Athens, and during the Rirvey,, strange to say,V<aij| d<£ot wss located on the Wilkegson the (deutical site npw chosen pot If the extension. Rut thlre over the river a shrewd and wealthy land-owner, Mr. Billie Carr, who was very anxious that the depot be built on bis place, doubtless thinking he could with this nucleus found a city that would even rival Athens. But there was one drawback to his plan, and this was that the corporates of Atheus did written to Mr. Nelms to come for not encompas him. So the first stop he them, and in the event that he does so will certainly turn them over to him, as he has, no authority for their further confinement in jail. We un derstand that some of their friends left Sunday night for Lexington to consult Mr. K. on this subject, and if it is the wish of the prisoners he will doubtless make the proper applica tion to Judge F.rwin, so that they may remain in jail. But if they onee pass into the keeping of the state their re mission to jail will raise a nice point of law, and we doubt if they can l>c gotten back, as there is a legal time prescribed, and this right they may have slept over. Their counsel has managed the case very ably for these prisoners, and it would he wise for them to follow his advice to tlte letter, anil not listen to a set of fiends who are entirely ignorant of the law. Their continuance iu jail will entail a heavy expense on the county, and next Sep- teinber no power can keep them from their doom. • Death of a Young Lady.—Died on last Sunday, Hist iusL, MLs Jennie Kaye, daughter of Mr. New ton Saye, at the residence of Mr. John Saye.

Tilings were very quiet at the court house yesterday morning. Not more titan a dozen people were iu attend ance, making it look very lonely, as only just a few days back during tlie Johnson-Echols trial there was uot a vacant seat to lie found or even a par- tiele of standing room to lie had. Yesterduy was set apart by the Judge for hearing motions, granting orders, etc. Tlie motion for a new trial iu the Johnson-Echols case could not be argued yesterday, owing to tlie evi dence not being wrote up as yet. Tlie stenographer is at work on it and will not finish it for several days. Tlie motion for a new trial is set down lor pext Saturday. In tlie meantime the prisoners will go on to tlie penitentia ry and commence serving their term, at the request and advice of their coun sel, Col. J. AV- Ecliols, who will use all due diligence to obtain another trial for them. We have learned that if their motion is overruled they will apjical and carry their case to tlie su preme court. Col. Ecliols certainly deserves a great deal of credit for the way in which he lias so ably defended and managed tills case. He lias cer tainly used all the diligence that could be required’in the case. Tlie prison era have been very quiet since they re ceived their seuteuee aud have not ex pressed any disapprobation of the way aud manner in which their case was conducted, and consented very readily to tlie advice of their counsel in regard to going immediately to the penitentiary and submitting to tlie process of the law as It comes. Next week will be entirely taken up with civil cases and will be a full week’s work. The grand jury have not finished up their business as yet. They are working on tlie illegal voters, and it is supposed that tlielr will he over two hundred true bills found ugainst these voters. They are certainly tlie right jury and are taking tlie right steps against tlie law-breakers in our county. It is thought they will finish in a few days, when we will give tlie full account of the presentments and returns. A Terrible Crime. took was to get the charter of Athens extended so as to embrace a large part his farm. He then went betore the directors of the railroad and proposed that if they would prnnan'irfly locate a freight and passenger depot upon his place that he would give unto said com pany a large tract of very valuable land, aggregating, we are told, nearly one hundred acres. Railroading in tlmse day* was not brought down to the science the present age, and it was no small tsk to cross the river—so they accepted Mr. Carr’s proposition. Upon this land they built their de]*its, while some of it as sold off to |iartics who erected neat cottages upon same. In fact, nearly all this ground is now a populous and thriving little village, settled and owned a splendid class of otir imople. They hold their titles from tlie Georgia rail road, aud are entirely safe. But now that tlie depot will be re moved from the old site, the heirs of the :irr estate, who arc quite numerous, have employed Hon. II. H. Carlton and Lumpkin, Esq., and will bitterly contest tlie right of the railroad to lon- r hold the property deeded tiiem with tlie express understanding that it must used as a freigiit and passenger de- They contend that it was given only fftr this consideration, as the deeds show, and the day a train fails to stop thereat, the property reverts to the origi nal owner or his heirs-at-law. We have not heard tlie railroad’s side tlie question, but we hardly think they would take this important step itfiout knowing what they are about, tlie property- involved now amounts nearly $100,000 in value. But there sure to be a hard fight made over tiie nenhip of thislana, that will prove rich harvest to lawyers. We learn that tlie road will still use the old de pot as a (Store house for guano, and we suppose they will coutend that tlii(fhom ilies with their contract. The removal s certainly a grand thing for Athens, and’it will pay the railroad even in the event that It forfeits tills property.

The Montezuma Weekly says “we have been furnished the particulars of a most heiuous allair near Vieuua, in Dooly county. Without apparent cause a man beat his wife Utimerci fully, and then hung her with a rope to tlie joists of the dwelling. Friends arrived in time to cut her dowu and saved her from deatli for the time, hut our informant states that he heard of her deatli before leaving Vi enna on Monday.

CLARKE SUPERIOR 00URT. ^THE ROUNTReFtRAGEDY. Th. Law-Abiding Spirit of Athena, an* tha En- '^ ; 4 forcemeut of Law. The termination of the famous Roun tree case must necessarily cause eve ry Athenian a (ouch of pride—for iiever was a case handled with more "wisdom, Justice and moderation.” At the first outbreak of public indig- ’nation, upon what seemed to lie the wanton and cruel murder of a young student, the worst passions of our na tures were aroused, and it seemed but to require a single word to set the public mind ablaze. But happily our citizens crushed the first outburst of passion, and gave heed to wiser counsel. For a whlieour gallant little city had to bear the charge of cow ardice; but time has proved this a slander, and that the men of Athens possess a courage now unquestion ed, tempered with wisdom and a cool head. The killing of Walter Roun tree has been a succession of surprises from almost the hour of the tragedy. We heard most of the evidence given before the coroner’s jury, and it left not a shadow of doubt upon our mind hut that Frauk'Johnson was the mur derer of young’Rountree. In fact, (if tymfpilke riot, oqe of the principal WitnrasA testified that it would have been a matter impossible for bis brother to. have killed him. We thought the examination was a search ing one; and yet not a word was ut- ered that could possibly be tortured into extenuation of Johnson. But it seems that one of the witnesses, dur- iug the excitement of the hour, had held back Important testimony which he sprung upon the public like a tor- ey least expected it. It a) this witness kept his testimony so long, as it would have served to greatly allay public indig nation; but this young man doubt less acted ut the honest promptings of his heart. There ure men now iu our city who persist in disbelieving that the fatal bullet was fired by Mr. Bartow Rountree; but tlie evidence we think is conclusive that it did not come from Johnson’s pistol—at least, there is a strong chain of direct and circumstantial evidence to that effect. The Banner-Watchman, from tlie hour of this sad tragedy, counseled law and order—ami now that the case terminated as it lias, we are justly proud of our course. Tlie verdict of the jury in this case was just and le gal, and there is no earthly chance for tlie prisoners to evade its penalty. Even admitting that Johnson did not kill Walter Rountree (and such we believe to be tho case) the entire evi dence goes to show malice witli inle.ut to murder—and for this no power will intercede in their behalf. The con duct of this case speaks well for tlie law-abiding spirit of Athens. It shows to the world that while our peo ple ean und will enforce the law, that at the same time they discountenance anything like mob violence and will not tolerate it, whether such lawless ness eminates from the white or tlie black race. Courts of justice in our city are not merely a name—but tem ples of law for the punishment of crime and the enforcement of justice. Tlie decision in this remarkable case should give entire satisfaction to all concerned; and it is the height of folly for any appeal to be be made from tlie verdict as rendered by the jury. We arc proud of tlie attitude of our people in this trying ordeal, for no one ean now deny but what they acquitted themselves os brave, law-abiding citi zens.

Th® Real Relation Between th® Human Body find the Weather Scientifically Explained, i *StirntiJIc Amtrimn. One of the most valuable develop ments of modern science along tlie liue of human necessity is tlie National Weather Bureau at Washington, Expe rience has shown tliat eighty-six jier cent, of the predictions of the signal service are accurate; and these predic tions are unquestionably of tlie greatest advantage to the seaman, the agricul turist and the entire commercial world. Tiie service has proven its necessity by its usefulness, for in past times the facilities for foretelling atmospheric changes were meagre indeed. The only indications our fathers had of coming changes in the weather were aebing limbs, twinging joints or painful corns. These “ indications,” though crude, were usually correct, and hence naturally suggest the enquiry as to the reiatldn between the human system and tile weather. The body is unquestionably excellent barometer, it foretells changes in the atmosphere long before they occur, and this fact lias been takSn advantage of by physicians who, when all other agencies fail, prescribe a change of air, tints Imping the body may find an atmospheric condition better suited to its needs. And yet the real relation between tlie human body and the weath er has never been fully undersfqod,' jpor has there ever been, until now, a correct explanation of what rheumatism (which seems in league with the atmosphere) really is. It was originally thought hy many to be a trouble in tho jointo-aud as such was treated in the uiost s$r$fi;, not to say, ridiculous madner; -Tits theory became dispelled when the same trouble attacked the muscles, .aM tho feeling theu prevailed that it was pomy a muscular disorder. But this idea was found to be too narrow, and now it is universally conceded that rheumatism is a blood disease. And what a terrible disease it is. It often comes without warning and prostrates the system witli agony. Again its beginning is gradual, and its growth slow. In its acuie form it manifests itself in every conceivahle shape and always accompanied by in tense pain. At one time it is inflamma tory, at another neuralgic. Sometimes it assumes tlie form of gout, and again tliat of pleurisy or lumbago; but in whatever manner it ap;>ears it is terribly painful and always to be dreaded. The pain and annoyance of rheumatism are increased by its great danger for it i* liable to attack tlie brain or heart at any moment, thereby causing instant deatli. Indeed, nearly every ease of heart disease with all its dreadful suddenness which has ever occurred, can be traced more or less directly to rheumatic causes. In its chronic form it stiffens the joints, contracts the muscles, undermines the health and ruins tlie life. It frcqucnlly- attacks men and women who are ap parently in perfect health. Indeed, it is as greatly to be dreaded as any possible form of physical woe. But, however severe its effects may be, tlie exact cause of this blood trouble lias been an undecided question, and it is only within tlie past year tliat any de cision upon tlie subject lias been reached, in order to fully determine wlmt tlie cause of rheumatic disorders really was, certain authorities sent letters of inquiry from Washington to the leading prac ticing physicians of the land, and these inquiries were responded to quite gene rally, thus furnishing data of great value to science aud mankind. Tlie views held by tiie doctors are of a varied nature, but so overwhelming a proportion hold to one belief as to leave but little doubt tliat it is tiie correct one. This belief, briefly stated, is tliat uric acid iu the blood causes rheumatism, and that it is only hy removing this poisonous acid tliat rheumatic or neuralgic troubles in all their terrible forms can be cured. This being true, the important question arises: “ How does this poisonous uric acid get into the blood, and how ean it best lie removed?” Uric acid is a waste material of the body which the kidneys should carry out, but because they are weakened they cunnot throw it from tiie system. Restore tiie kidneys and you restore tlie {tower that will force tiie uric acid from the system and thus banish the rheumatic agonies which it causes. This is reason; it is science. No one whose kidneys are in a perfect condition was ever troubled witli rheumatism, and no rheumatic sufferer, however slight tlie pain may l>e, lias perfect kidneys The conclusion of this truth is inevita ble: perfect kidneys mean freedom from rheumatism. When rheumatism lias manifested itself in any special part of the bod}’, attempts have usually been made to treat that part of the body. Asa result, the pain lias departed but tlie. disease has re mained, lying subtly concealed aud ready to break out at some unexpected momen t. Checking tlie pain in any single locality only scatters the disease tlirough 'the ays em, when, if the seat of tiie disorder, which are the kidneys, were reached, a complete cure would be tbe result. The way, therefore, to expel this rank and poisonous acid before It assumes an in flammatory or chronic form is by keep ing tbe kidneys in absolutebealth. Tills is no easy thing to do, and no means has, until within the post few yeare7 been known which would successfully reach and affect these great organs. At last.* however, scientists have discovered tliat the leaves of a tropical plant, previously but little known to science and unkoown to medicine, possessed marvelous quali ties adapted for the kidneys. These leaves have been skillfully combined in tbe remedy now known as Waruer’s Bate Kidney and Liver Cure. - It is, up to the present time, the only known prepara tion that act* so directly open the kid neys as to effectually cure the various dangerous forms of kiduey disease, and. lienee remove all uric acid from tlie blood. As a resu.t, the cures it lias been the means of performing are really very remarkable. Indeed, there are thousands of persons in America to-day who owe their restoration to health and ntire freedom from rheumatism fo tiiis simple yet powerful, remedy, which is known universally, manufactured in Rochester, X. Y., and sold in every drug store in the laud. From the doctors in the various cities of the United States wholuive certified over their own signatures to tiie scien tific statement that uric acid in the bloodiF is tlie cause of rheumatism, are a large number of Chicago and St. Louis pliysi elans, among them being Dr. Adolph Uhlemeyer, Dr. Win. Welib, Dr. John M. Frank, Dr. Edwin T. W< lister, Dr. Benjamin F. Whitmore, Dr. William Tj Richardson, Dr. Robert T. Atkinson, Dr. Thos. F, Humbold, Dr. William M.

Trimble* uliicb began witji slight disorders in creased to derangements tlte most seri ous. It is sad to think tliat all this suf fering whs endured when it could have been so easily relieved. Acting upon tiie theory and using tho remedy above mentioned the kidneys uoiild have been restored lo tlielr usual vigor, the uric poison cxjielled from the system, the inflammation removed and tlie pain en tirely banished. These are some of tlie real and scien tific facts regarding rheumatism, attes ted by the highest authority and they are, beyond question, the only correct ones ever brought forth. We are aware they are advanced ideas, but tea years bonce they will be the accepted belief and prac'ice of the world. If people suffer from rheumatic troubles in the future and with these plain troths be- 'fore them, they ePrialniy can blame no one but themselves; youth says: “I was present at ihe difficulty; was sitting on Dr. Hamil ton’s stone steps; saw defendants com ing dowu the street; Walter Rountree said he wished he had his pistol; pris oners passed by without saying any thing, etc. Further on hl« evidence clearly showed that the Rountrees were the aggressors, and evidently followed up the colored men. for the purpose of getting up a difficulty, if these are the facts, will some one please state'on what hypothesis the Jury found a verdict of guilty, and the learned judge sentenced the two men on Bartow Rountree, who actually committed tbe deed?” Oconee.

Mr. Emory Speer is writing let ters to his friends in this district de nying that he has any sympathy with that coalition movement by which Dr. Felton A Co. are endeavoring to overthrow the Democratic party and thus render our state an easy conquest for Republicanism next fall. Now had Mr. Speer come out thus boldly before that grand muss-meeting of nine:.took place in Atlanta, he might have iotuid some persons silly enough to believe him; but he has already shown his hand, and so our congress man liod just as well make up his mind to reap tiie whirlwind of public indignation. If Mr. Speer is not in sympathy with the coalitionists why is it that he wrote that mass- meeting a letter advising them as to their action, and why aid those ccali- tionists so promptly obey his counsel? If our congressman can prove tliat let ter, bearing his signature, to be u for gery, then perhaps he can shirk its responsibility. This lieccannot do, and so that gentleman hud as well make up his mind to submit to the iufutuy of which lie proves himself to he ashamed. Doubtless Mr. Spkkii will argue thut the late Atlanta “muss- meetLig" was not a coalition move ment. Those who ure posted us to toe mission of Dr. Felton know better. They have not forgotten that this so- called independent but a few mouths .ago held a secret conference with known republicans iu tlie Markham House, by which a trade was made, tliat in consideration of government patronage being turned over in Geor gia to tlie independent party tliat they would, by uniting with the radicals overthrow democracy and give tlie republicans au opportunity to again capture Georgia. To further thisend Dr. Felton proceeded to stump the state, hut fortunately ids villainous scheme hud been exposed and alter a few harangues to small audiences lie had to retire. His next card in this game of coalition was to sign an ad dress to tlie people, together with six other parties he picked up and con vene a grand muss-meeting of the in dependent party in Atlanta. Com mittees were appointed to secure re duced railroad and hotel fares, and it was doubtless thought tliat the entire state would gather to this new shrine of radicalism; but instead of tliat only nine hungry office seekers aud pup- suckers put in appearance, und the mortification of tlie Doctor ami ids cohorts was pittiful. They tried to lay their failure on the small-pox, but that excuse was entirely too shallow, as they had plenty of time and notice to change their place of meeting to some other city. It was to this grand convention of nine that Mr. SPEER wrote the letter tliai places him openly in the ranks of tlie coulitionists. Our congressman discovered, wheu too late, that coalition was not ou the big boom he expected, and so now ex pects to crawfish out. That Dr. Fel ton and his brother independents are laboring in the interest of republican success in Georgia, any sensible man has but to read the papers to be con vinced. Every negro convention yet held is declared as their allies; their very utterances show a bitter hatred’ to democracy, and their, mission is proven to be to overthrow our consti tution, extond su ffrage so as it will embrace every criminal in the state ■ and inaugurate a system by which unscrupulous politicians may suc cessfully use the worst element in our midst to overthrow the white race and put their former slaves us masters and rulers over them.
