Atlanta, Oi nevift Commission Merchants No. 041 Bay Street, SAVA2T2TAXX, GA. In the Rome Courier, of recent date, we find the following from the I>en ot that able and judicious editor, Mr. John H. Marlin, on a subject which is just now attracting general attention: It was obvious before the trial com menced that the experts would differ, and the testimony of one would, to some exte nt, counterbalance the tes timony of another* This is nearly always the case in issues as to the eani.y of a criminal. Only in cases in which iiisanity is inconteslibly de veloped (in which cases there is no need of experts) is the testimony unanimous and concurrent. Why should the opinions ot any class ol men as to the guilt or inno cence oi a defendant (tor that is the legal deduction in a trial of sanity) be taken as evidence, any more than the opinions of another class? The expert can only express bis opinion as to the sanity of a criminal, and as said above, it is very apt to be met by the contrary opinion ot another •Xpert. A skilled detective is an ex pert in judging of the guilt or, in. uocence ot a person arrested for crime, yet no one thinks of admitting bis testimony on that point as legal evidence; and justly so. Happily, id the Guiteau trial, the priqpner’s own conduct has been such as to probably have more weight with the court and jury than the expert testimony, and may influence a righteous verdict which would have been difficult it there had been ho other evidence than tbe conflicting testimony of the ex perts. THAT CONFEDERATE SPECIE. CH1S. F. STUBBS, JOHN X. OABNKTT, August 23. 1381. In tbe Colnmbns Enquirer-Sun of December 31, we" find tbe following special: Ataanta, Ga, December 30.— There was a large gathering of inde pendents in Atlanta to-day from all parts of Georgia. Amongthenromi- nent persons were Hon. W. H. Fel ton, Dr. Miller, Minuter Scruggs, General Longstreet and Judge Hook. A platform was formulated, abolish ing the poll Ux and advocating young men for promotion, and condemning conventions. It was agreed that Dr. Felton should make the race for gov ernor, and he consented to do so. In dependents will ran in every oonnty for the legislature, and in every con gressional district. A big paper will be issued here advocating the move ment and favoring the tariff. Presi dent Arthur endorses the depart ure, and the fight will be warm. The above, it true, is significant It may be inoorrect in some of its par ticulars. Dr. Miller denies, to a Con stitution reporter, being present at a conference; he says he called on Dr, Felton, but only to make a social visit It seems pretty well agreed however that certain leading inde pendents have organised (!) to make the campaigns ot the coming year. That much is doubtless true, whether ihe above telegram is true in all its particulars or not. This is neither strange nor uoex 1 peeled. The condition of Georgia for tbe past few years—with virtually only one political party—could not bo expected to continue always. This is true lor many reasons, which need not be mentioned here; and the pres ent movement of the independents 'prises no one. But while we regard two parlies as inevitable, we shall take no gtpek in tbe new one. The old democratic party is good enough lor us. In child hood, we were taught its doctrines, aud manhood’s maturity has bnt con firmed tbe impression then made. For the democratic party there is more necessity now than ever. More than ever the country has need of its prin ciples to promote peace and prosperi' ty. Tbe mission of democracy is not yet accomplished; its glory has net departed, nor is the seed of deoAy yet implanted in it. It will yet come ont victorious in many hard battles, and Dr Felton and his like will never writs its doom. . ; The Cost of the Guiteau Comedy. _ Now that the trial of the assassin gives some promise of drawing to a close, some individuals of leisure are figuring up the eoet of the fares to the Treasury. They pot it all the way from 9100,000 to 8300,000. To Judge Porter and Davidge, who are retained for the prosecution, they as sign the comfortable fee ot 925,000 each. Next will come the demands of the official stenographent, who have made verbatim reports of the proceedings and furnished the District Attorney with fifteen copies every morning, for all which they will expect from 810,000 to 815,000. About two hundred witnesses have been sum moned, and the witness fees wifi be very heavy, espccialy 'those of the twenty-five experts called for the •prosecution, who will receive not only tbe usoal allowance and mileage, bnt the value put upon their services during the days, and even weeks, which they have given to the case. Then there is maintenance of the assassin, the pay of extra bailiffs, printing and a hundred incidentals. To all which mast be added, in the now generally expected event of con viction, the expenses of execution. The gossips may be extravagant in their figures, but it does look as if the minimum expenses would reach a round hundred thousand. And then some sapient juror may stick to it that Guiteau is a veritable crank, in which event a new trial would pre sent another bill. The True Wife. Oftentimes I have seen a tall ship glide by against ihe ride as if drawn by some invisible bowline, with a hundred strong arms pulling it. Her sails were unfilled, her steamers were drooping, she bad neither side wheel nor stern wheel; still she moved cn stately, ia serene triumph, as with her own life. But I knew j that on the other tide of the ship, hidden beneath the great bulk that swam so majesti cally, there was a little toilsome steam tug, with a heart of fire and arms of iron, that was tugging it bravely on, and I knew if thelittlesteamtugan- twined her arm and left the ship it would wallow and roll .about, and drift hither and tbilher and go off with the refluent tide, no man kuow8 whither. And so I have known more than one genius, high-docked, full-freighted, idlessailed, gay pennnned, but that tor the bare, toilingarma and brave, warm-beating heart of the faithful little wife that nestles close to him, so no wind or wave could part them, would have gone down with the stream and have been heard of no more.— Oliver Wendell Homes. That confederate specie has* come to the front again. This time Mr. F, A. Burr, who w*ote the alleged mi ter view with Joe Johnston, denies Johnston’s denial.

LARGEST ASSORTMENT IN THE SOUTH, AT ■' J. P. STEVEN S & CO’S, 34 WHITEHALL STREET. ATLANTA, GEORGIA mitted any breach ol faith whatever. General Johuston. in a telegram, to ine, expressly disavows ever having made a charge of bad faith. He has now, over his own eignaluie, disposed of all the insinuations in imputation affecting my conduct either as a man or a journalist m relation to that pub lication. I hope thofC who have as- sailed that article and the writer with out reason or knowledge, will make a note ot this to, me, important fact. Frank A. Burr. This brings it down to a question of veracity between Gen Johnston and Mr. Bnrr. Gen Johnston’s telegram soon after the tnterview waa report ed, said plainly that Mr. Bnrr viola ted confidence; that he had not said that Mr. Davis got any benefit, di rectly or indirectly from the Confed erate funds, and that the interview, os reported, was so tall of inaccura cies that he would not attempt to correct it. It is an ugly affair, and every true southerner regrets'that it was ever published. And the people are well-nigh uoan< imous in not (relieving that Mr. Davis got tbe funds. Circumstantial evidence: “Merry Christmas, mother!’ cheerfully ex claimed little Charlie Higgs, as he bounded into his parent’s presence; with a face beaming like a new brass kettle.* ‘Oh, don’t merry Christmas mel’ growled tbe old lady, ‘yesterday there were aut mines pies upon the shelf of the pantry. This morning there are only five. Now where that other pie?’ ‘Mother,’ solemn) answered the boy, ‘as true as I live don’t know, but brother Bill has been rolling round the bed all sight, sick enongb to die.” The Han to Beat. Gen. Sieedman, ol Toledo, O., was asked by an interviewer : ‘Do you think Arthur is workiDg to be his own successor iu the presi dential chair ?’ most certainly do, and I hope he will be the man put up by the repub licans.’ ‘Why?* 'Because he is the only man whom the democrats can beat.’ 'How do you make that appear ?’ ‘L reason this way, and I earnestly believe I am right. In this country there are several hundred Ihousand good republicans who loved Garfield, and they believe in tbeir hearts that Garfield was murdered to place Ar thur where he now is, and none of these will vote for a man who holds that office by reason of such an awful calamity. I honestly believe this to be true, and am not afraid to say so. Understand me, I do not say that the stalwarts had anything to do with Garfield’s murder, bnt I do say that down deep in the hearts of thousands ot republicans that thought and feel ing exist. Will such men vote tor Aithur? Never! I repeat it, sir, Arthur will be beaten it he is nomi- ■nanfii i —amrn The Coldest Place ou Earth. Nowthat every body is studying -the maps to see what and where Ya- koutsk is—the place from which came the information of the less of tbe Jeannette—it is of interest to know that that town has beeu held by me teorologists to be the coldest place on earth. Yakontsk is situated in northwestern Siberia, on the Lena river, in latitude sixty-two degrees north, longitude one hundred and twenty-nine degrees, forty-four min utes east, and is a town ot about5,000 inhabitants. It is the capital of an immense provinoe of the same name. The average temperature of the re» gion in winter if thirty -six degrees below zero. Strictly speaking, how ever, Verkoyan-k, on the Yana river, is the Asiatic pole of cold, the ther mometer there going even lower than at Yakouisk. There is a correfpond- ing cold point on the American side of the globe, not far from the Parry islands. The winters are cnldet at Yakoutsk than at the mouth of tbe Lena, where the explorers landed.— St Louis GlobfrDemocrat. A BALLOON OUT AT BEA. democratic party can beat.’ From tlie Pall Mall Gazette. The government balloon Saladin, which ascended from Bath on Satur day, has been carried out to sea, and serious apprehensions are entertained for the safety ol Mr. Walter Powell, who was with it. The balloon waa iu charge ot Captain Templar, R. E., who waa accompanied by Mr. Powell and Mr. Gardner, son of the lats member for Cheltenham. It ascended at Bath about midday, and, crossing over Somerset to Exeter, proceeded to the neighborhood ot Bridport, Dorset. Tbe aeronauts continued their course till near Eype, about a mile west of Bridport, and within half a mile of the sea, when, about five o’clock, findiug they were rapid ly driftingly seaward, they attempted to descend. The balloon came down with great rapidity and struck the ground with much violence. Mr. Gardner and Captain Templar were thrown out of the car, the former sus taining a fracture of the leg and tbe latter being cut and bruised. Mr. Powell was left in the car. Captain Templar retained his hold of the valve (ine which be found waa betyg pulled through his hands. He called to Mr. Powell, who rfaa standing in the car, to come down the line, but in a tfew seconds it. was torn through his hands and the balloon rose rapidly and drifliog out: to sea. A spectator who witnessed the occurrence says that during the few minutes' that he remained viable Mr. Powell, with bis arms above his bead, appeared to be working the ropes. Darkness speedily came on and the balloon was lost to view; but some wituesses affirm that they saw it strike the water about two miles from the shore. Boats imme.liately pot off from Bridport and a steamer waa promptly dispatched from Weymouth, but no trace of the balloon or of Mr. Powell was found. Tbe search has been actively continued each day with no more successful result. The admiralty end tbe meteorological department have also instituted inquiries, but no tidings of the mining aeronaut have been received. It was at first thought that it might have descended iu the Channel Islands or on the French coast, but each has not been proved to be the esse,'and almost' the only hope now remaining ia that Mr. Powell may have been rescued by an outward bound vessel. His relative* have offered a reward of £200 for tbe recovery of the honorable member or bis body, £100 to the first finder of tbe missing balloon or any portion of 4t, and £50 tor any. trustworthy in- 1 formation respecting the balloon and ita occupant Mr. Powell, rite in the Conservative interest for Malmebnry, has for years past been an enthusias tic aeronaut, and has made numerous ascents, sometimes crossing fit. George’s Channel to Island, and, again, going over to France. Fruiti ot tbe Atlanta Exposition. The Atlanta Cotton Exposition is already bearing.practical and valua ble fruits. Up to Monday last twen ty-nine of the exhibitors had given notice of their intention jo establish bouses or factoriee'in Atlanta. These comprise mainly small manufactories, bnt each.of them will fill anew field and Director General Kimball is con fident that daring the next year there will be :3fty additional,factories, large and email, established to Atlanta, di rectly because of the Exposition. Ex hibitors are astoended at the sales they have made. The profits of a windmill proprietor from sales made during the Exposition are placed by him at 810,000, whilst a firm engaged in the manufacture ot harrows place their profits from sales at 83,000; and so with cotton planters, gins, ^cotton cleaners, etc. The exhibitors say that they have never attended an ex hibition where the sales were so large.* This applies more especially to mak ers eland dealers, in machinery that will aid in tbe industrial recuperation of the south. It is thought that the amount of improved machinery sold in the south within the next year or two will be enormous.—Baltimore Sun. Failures tbe Fast Year. The total number of business fail ures for the end ot tho year 1881, throughout tbe United States, is stat ed by the mercantile agency of B G Dunn & Co., to be 5,682. involving liabilities of slightly over 881,000,000. The failures tor the year previous were only 3,735, with liabilities of 965,000,000. The increase is, how ever, regarded by the agency as small in proportion to the enormous growth , in the volume oLtimd|Ljnd i _MMnr > “ 'ly^opbHmlllWWlSKLi »/p< sons in business in 1878, showing strongly to the advantage of the year just closed, the failures in that year being 104,000 and tbe liabilities 8234- 000,000. In the year 1881 only one person in every 140 engaged in busi ness failed. The number of persons in 1880, proportion one in 158; in 1879 one in every 105, and in 1878 one in every 64. Tbe figures of the year and facts presented are interv preted by tbe agency as confirmatory of the impression that the trade of the country is pi osperoue and in a safe condition. , , JACKSON LETTER. Dear Banner ‘A white new year, and a sore sign of (nil grave yards,’ say tbe superstitious ones. ‘If we have company to day we will hare it all the year.’ ‘Hope no lady will come as we will have no luck with ohickens’ *if a lady calls.” We hi.il the new year with thankin' hearts, that we are in the enjoyment of health and prosperity, that there is no suffering from want or destitution in our midst and that the tnture is full of promise aud plenty if we are true to ourselves aud the vast ag ricultural interests of the country, . A WEDDING IN HIGH LIFE Is booked to come off in Jefferson this week. If true. Jefferson will' lose one of her most beautiful and ac* cOmpliuhed young ladies. For years Jefferson has bren fa mous for ihe number and intelligence of her widows. On Christmas morn ing Mr. J Randolph led one (Mrs. Julia D Lamar,) to Hymen’s altar at tho Presbyterian chnrch, the Rev. J C Grow officiating. Mr. Randolph was a young wid ower and the only one we believe in Jefferson. There are fifteen widows yet, that would be an honor to any community. They represent the three churches here, and tbe wealth of Jefferson. •tor new preacher.’ Notwithstanding the extreme cold day, Methodists, Baptists and Pres- byterians, turned ont on new year’s day to hear Dr. Bradley preach, and we wete never more agreeably sur prised aud delighted, than while list ening to the deeply solemn truths that he preached to saint and sinner. It' was just one of that kind of sermons we like to hear—tbe simple story, of the cross, and of its blessed results, that warms up oar frozen feelings,and gives us a glimpse of Heaven and immortal things. He grew truly elo quent while alluding to tbe Christian spirit manifested by the fond mother, as she kisses her darling boy for the last time, in tbe cold embrace of death, with the confident hope of meeting him beyond the ‘Shining Sht re.’ We believe such sermons do more f ood than all the scolding, or fault tiding one's, that cun be preached. We heartily congratulate our Meth odist friends upon tbeir good luck and hope their ^church may be largely built up. thk railroad. We are truly sorry that Athens has gone into winter quarters on our railroad connection, bat have this comforting thought, that we can build ‘classic qj|y* .of . sided at the organ find- the musical selections pfayed by her were, highly complimented.

The church waa filled with the friends of the contracting parties. Miss Mell is a daughter of ohancels lor P H Mell of the University, and has always been a popular belle in Athens since her debut. Mr. Smith is well and favorably known here and has many friends in Athens. The gentlemen attendants wore black snita Prince Albert coat, white ties, tan gloves. The ladies wore short white dresses and were just too, too lovely. The wedding party repaired to the house cf Dr. Mell, and finished the evening pleasantly under his hospita ble roof.

Mrs Harris was a lady of most ex cellent character. The pr.-iise of her many virtues and lovely traits, is in the mautbs of all who knew htyr. She was well known in this community,' and no one in it had a more enviable leputalion for those characteristics that make up the model woman.

Gen. Dabney H Maury, of Rich mond, who is well and favorably known throughout the country, re lates the following incident conceit) ing Mr. Davis and tbe confederate specie: ' When Davit and his cabinet were in Danville they heard of Lee’s sur render. While being entertained at breakfast in the house of one of the citizens of that town they began to discuss tbeir present resources. They were slender enough. One- Cabinet Minister had near 8100 in gold. None of the rest were so fortunate. Mr. Davis kept silent natil his host said; ‘Mr. Davis, we have not heard from you We hope you have been more prudent than yonr Cabinet.’ “ ‘Sir,’ said he, ‘I have not 91 in world, nve the confederate money in my purse.” “Soon after the party took the train for Greenes boro, and just, be fore starting a Virginia woman sent to Mr. Davis a bag of gold, with her simple *God speed.* With greet emo tion he declined to ecoept one cent ot it, and so cast his fortunes to the last with his people. At Washington,Ga. all ot the coin (about 830,000) car ried along with the presidential party waa divined among the escort.’ A Railroad Suit.—The St. Panl Railroad Company has gained a law suit in the United States court that presents a curious feature. A young, man waa wallring on the track of the road, when he waa ran over and kil led, and his relatives sued the com pany for 810,000 damages. Judge Love, in deciding the case, held that the young man had no business walk ing on other people’s property, while the railroad company did have busi ness running its trains there; that a railroad is not a publio highway bnt a piece ol private property, ami peo ple must not trespass.—Detroit Free Prut. A Bubturlne Bast. A Vermont gentleman, who has been devoting a good deal of bis time tor about ten years to the study of electricity and its application, has, says the Borliogton Free Press, at last pertected a submarine boat, with electricity as a motive power. All the details of the invention have not been made public, but that •* paper is informed that there are Teservoirs in whioh air may be stored at a pressure ot severifi atmospheres, and that the boat can descend, either^ perpendicu larly or at an. angle to any depth within the limits ot tbe strength of walls of the vessel. An electric en gine propels the boat by means of a screw at the stern, and a speed ot twenty-five miles pei honr is claimed to have been attained.- If this inven tion is all that it is claimed to be, Jutes Verne’s Nautilus was not such a visionary craft after all. Queen Victoria’s Fortune. It is usually supposed that thequeen has laid by a great deal ot money, and, acting on this supposition, it is askdd why she cannot provide for her family. As a matter ot fact she has not. When Prince Albert died many of the state departments were in debt; these debts have been paid off. Some of them—such as that of master ot tbe horse, for which £10,000 is al lowed—always have to borrow from the other departments or from the a purse. The queen does not r put by as mpeh as £20,000 per annum on an average of years. She has always given, I believe, £100,000 to each of her daughters who has married,- and. this has drained her savings. % A laa Killed ttj Electricity, jft. James Gazette. At Hatfield house William Dim- mock, a laborer, was assisting in lay ing a telephone wire when he slipped from a wall, And in foiling took hold of a wire used in connection with the Brash lights whic^ are in operation at tfea Qatfield house. He was im* mediately killed hy the electric cur rent. The medical evidence showed that death arose from shook to the system, causing paralysis of the heart. • - One object of theNorth Pole search is to see and study a qiart of the globe never yet looked upou and invested with the fascination which mystery always imparts. Another is to deter* mire tbe raageetio poles of the earth, which, it is known, do not agree with tbe geographical poles. If a ve'sel should sail over tbe pole it could be determined by tbe sam9 reckoning that gives her exact position in latitude 1 and longitude elsewhere. Business is business: “Doctor,” asked Brown, “why don’t you put Fenderson oh a close diet? Don’t you think it wouid be a benefit to him? ’* ‘Undoubtedly,’’ replied the doctor; “but it would be no benefit to me: I might lose a patient;and when I lose a patient” he added, “I prefer to lose him in the regular way.”—Boston Transcript. • Painters in want ot supplies such as. white lead, oil, terpintine, varnish es, colors of any kind, either dry or in oil, or paint brushes, would do well to write to B.
