Dangers of tlic “Business
Revival.”
In some aspects the “revival of bus
iness'’ seems lo put us on dangerous
ground. This is apparently paradox
ical, but it is, wc apprehend, quite
true. The business boom' has diss
tui-bed, in some measure, the course of
trade, and by reviving wild speculat
tion may precipitate a crash upon the
country.
The extent to which this mania for
speculation has gone is well illustrated
by the prices paid for seats in the-
Stock Exchange at New York. These
havo never commanded higher rates.
One man paid last week more than
fifteen thousand dollars for a seat-
while two years ago they sold for less
than three thousand dollars. It is
said that this general rise in prices is
the universal topic of conversation in
business circles, and that men’s minds
are entirely engrossed with the
mania.
Stocks, bonds, etc., may take a
downward turn any day, and leave
those who have invested at present
rates with rueful countenances and
A Good Man Gone.
IJlIo". John A S;»*er, of LaGrangc,
At Danielsvillo yesterday, at one
o’clock nndforty-four minii! ?, pm,
Jordan Sheets paid the penalty the
law demanded of him for the minder
of voting Ledbetter in Madison coun
ty last spring. Our readers are famil
iar with the circumstances of the kill

court to be hung the 24tli of last

to a petition and statement laid before
him by a number of negroes, princi-

Friday, the lilh of this month, which
was yesterday After carefully con
sidering the case the Govrenor deci
ded that th'-rc was nothing to warrant
-the exercise of lhe pardoning power,
and informed the friends of Sheets
that the sentence of the law would
have to be executed. ^Accordingly
iho condemned man was taken from
the jail at Danielsville by the officers
of the law about twelve o’clock yes
terday, placed in a wagon and carried
to the gallows, in an old pine field
about a quarter of a mile cast of the
court-house. The wagon was sur
rounded by a company of guards
under the command of
Capt. Pitmu”, nnd sia'cd iu it
with the doomed man were the
Rev. Th.os. J, Allen and some others.
He was remarkably calm, and at the
gallows asked tor the singing of “Am

aloud, announced his belief that Jesus

as a legislator lie never faltered in the

people who had confided their inter

during the late legislative session that
he could occupy his seat but irregu

1 abandon it entirely before the dose.
He. had j gone to Clifton (Springs to
make one more effort to bring strength
back to the wasted frame, but it was
too late. The vital powers were too
nearly exhausted lor recuperation.
Onr acquaintance with him was of bat

know that in his death the State loses

mitted his body to the grave and his ^ disposals.. were mainly as t.iiliAvs
since January 1, of which onc«lialf is
from importation, and the other is the
product of our own mines. Indeed,
it appears to us that this very addi
tion has b-cn 'the -cause of much of
the activity that lias of late been de-
veloped in our trade centres. The
effect of throwing this specie upon the
market has been to make the holders
of currency let loose anil invest their
money. This led to purchases [which
eventually induced speculation, and
as a consequence produced tho high
prices that now obtain.
The “business loom,’’ bringing en
hanced prices and increased demand,
has absorbed the currency to an nn
expected degree, and movements are
now on foot to obtain more bank cir
culation from the government.
This is perhaps essential to prevent
a speedy collapse of trade and bank
ruptcy to those who have taken in too
much stock at the ruling prices. The
interest of the entire country demands
that there should be no sudden revul
sion, but that if wo have gone loo fast
we should be eased down rather than
suffer a quick decline. We are, how
ever, no advocate of high prices. If
a period of excessive prices shall be
ushered in, it will occasion large im
portations of foreign goods, undue
speculation and last living, and the
•end will be a prostration of business
such as that from which wc have so
lately emerged. In particular will the
South find it to her detriment to have
the prices of ordinary commodities
rule high. Our cotton will not adi
vance in the same proportion with
goods of American manofao
ture, for the price of that is gov
erned by the foreign demand;
and whilo we shall havo to pay
out more money for onr flour, poke,
tlic goods we wear and the litllo ar
ticles of manufacture we buy, our
co.ten will bring us in no greater
price because of the general inflation.
It will, therefore, be to our disvantegc
that there should be a new period of
inflated prices. What we need is
bnltom prices for all we have to boy,
because we may bo assured that what
wc have to sell will remain at bottom
prices. On a review of the whole
field wc therefore say that the revival
of business has an element of disaster
about it which prudent men will do
well to guard against. The danger is
that speculation may run up prices
too high, checking the demand, dog
ging trade and producing bankruptcy.
And, besides,it seems that the interest
of the cotton selling South is entirety
antagonistic to high prices for flour,
iron goods and general merchandise

lid not break his neck, and it was
twelve minutes before lie died. He
remained hanging several
minute* i longer and the body was
then taken down. He struggled des
peraiely fei some time after the drop
fell, and actually succeeded at one
time in getting his feet to the staf-
fold and the cap from his lace. A
large ciowd was present, but there
was no disorder. Some excitement
was created by the accidental dis
charge of a gun in the hands of one
of the guard, but it was quickly allays
eil by a tew words from the Sheriff'.
The body of the dead man was de
livered to bis father, who had it
brought to Athens yesterday iu a
hearse which he had had driven over
for it. Thus ended the iife of Jordan
Sheats. May his fate deter others
from committing the dreadful crime
for which his life was forfeited, and
may we never again have the painful
task of chronicling such a fate. It is
a very unpleasant duty we have had
to perform and we discharge it with a
feeling of relief.

■A Gentle-Hearted Man.
From the first volume of “The
New Plutarch,” by the l’utnams,
New York, wc gather some pleasing
incidents in the life of one whom the
South, very naturally, has not al
ways judged too leniently. Since the
passions of war have cooled, though,
tho Southern people havo come to
regard Mr. Liucoln iu a kindlier light,
and accord him the gentleness of uas
ture so general'y said, by those who
knew him, to have been a character
istic of the man, and so beautif ully il
lustrated by the incidents referred to,
that we publish them in another col
umn of this paper. The passage quoted
from his inaugural address is histor
ic, and almost classic, and, in reading
it, we cannot but be keenly remind
ed that the spirit it breathes died
with him who uttered it—that it finds
no place in the hearts of those men of
the North who have risen in his
stead, and wc regret that he did not
live, “with charity for all, to bind up
the nation’s wounds, ami to do all
which might cherish ajust nud lastin
peace among ourselves.”

Harvard University.
In the “Items About Celebrities’
iu another column of the Banner
there is one which mentions a magnifi
cent bequest lately made thisUniver-
’sity, which, though the oldest of the
colleges in the United States, is yet in
he vigor of Us youth. In fact it lias
never exhibited greater vitality than
at present. We have received a notice
of its new catalogue, which will contain
the names of 1322 students, 164 being
in the Law School nnd 251 in tin
Medical School. With its ample fa
cilities in buildings and apparatus, in
eluding a library of 248,000 volumes,
Harvard is well equipped, and its
friends justly anticipate a great future
for the institu'ion. Its greatest peril,
perhaps, is that it may become almost
exclusively a school for the rich. The
expense of education at Harvard
should not be suffered to become
fatal obstacle in the ivay of promising
• onng men who wish to 1 e educated
there, but who are. poor and proud.
Tho University that, exerts the great
est influence upon the ronntry will 1 e
the one that reaches young men in
moderate circumstances, rather than
the sons nf the rn-h. Let Harvard,
and perhaps Yale, too, beware.
Upon tlie subject of education (sos
called) generally wc purpose iiav'ng
something to ray hereafter. It is i
sabject about which there is n cons'd
ernble awakening throughoat the
