ATHENS BANNER TUESDAY MORNING, SEPTE2 ■ wm THE BtRNER BILL- opponents of the substitute by Mr. Berner and favora* repotted to the Bouse^iave failed satisfy the public in their objec- >ions. The forfeiture clause has been eft out and the bill as reported si in ly provides that the R. R. Commie- Irion shall have the legality of leases and other contracts by railroads test ed in Court whenever suoh agree ments appear to them to be illegal. It Is contended by the opponents of [this measure that it will involve the State and the railroads in expensive litigation and injure the value of the stock. It is difficult lo see how the I stock in a railroad company can be hurt by setting aside an unlawful contract. If the contract is lawful t is in no danger ; if it is illegal the sooner it is done away with the .bet ter for the stockholders. It will in* evitably get the company into trou ble eventually to go on under illegal contracts, and the sooner they are set aside the better for the stockr holders. Especially is this true ot the minority stockholders in compa nies where the majority of the stock is held by a person who is a non resident, as in the case of the Cen tral R. R. Co. Bat there are other difficulties in reconciling the people to the defeat of the bill. It is aimed at unlawful contracts between Railroad compa nies- It does not affect any contract whieh is lawful. It is only directed at those contracts which violate the Constitution. No company will be touched by it unless the company first violates the law. It is not a good reply to say that the stock will be injured in the market. It involves —ih© principle that a railroad company must be allowed to violate the law enever its majority stockholders ire it if the violation will put up the price of its stock in the market, and that it most not be called to ac count by the State for the violation if a depressing effect upon the man* ket value of its shares is apprehend ed. The sense of justice of the aver age citizen will baldly agree to the proposition that when a citizen vio lates the law he must be dealt with without regard to the consequences to his property or its market value, but when a railroad company violates the law it must not be disturbed for fear of injuring the market price of its stock. It would be a dangerous precedent to establish, that viola tions of the Constitution by corpo rations must be condoned if the vio lation is profitable to the stockhold ers. It is not a safe doctrine.

How absurd. The legal remody«foreiich remissness< on the part of the State's agents and servants is to punish them—not the in nocent city of Athens. Ample power to do this is eonfened by the donor of the Landscrip Fund, the Federal, con- gsess, in Sec. 4 of the act of 1862. The present board of trustees is the creature of the legislature, responsible to-thc power that created -it. After being duly admonished as to their duty in the premises, if they fail to do what they are told, the legislature can re move them and substitute other agents who will be obedient. This legal rem edy for wrongs alleged to be done by the agents' of the State, (not by the city or Athens), involves no violation of a long standing contract. It antag: onizes no principles of law and order. It -loss not piac.- before the eyes of our citizens an evil example to.tempt them to wrong doing. • ’ ^ The advocates of the Dismuke bill, seem to lay great stress upon the pro- Advtceto Wombs' If you would protect yourself from Painful, Profuse, Scanty j Suppressed or Irregular MeiW struation you must use ' ' r BRADF1 ELD’S FEMALE REGULATOR body, and now that he is forced, with his tastes and habits all formed, to enter a new field of action, he is represented as being a changed and at heart a very sad man. black birds and tramp printers follow their noses to the fair land of the South.

Another Man That Limits Time to a Within ftn Years. ^.Indianapolis, &*pt. 14—Great inter est bus been occasioned by an announce ment by Rev. Dr. Joseph 8. Jenks, the distinguished rector of St. Paul’s church, that the end of the world is close at hand. He has recently had a thorough awakening through the influ ence ot a discovery and a publication. The discovery was that an error in the accepted system of chronology had been lately found which had made the Judges as governors of Israel 850 instead of 450 ; rears. This correction, together with 1 ;he twenty-seven years that have elapsed since 1864, bring this most astounding crisis within les3 than ten years of the paesent time. The publication is a se ries of "studies,” as he modestly calls them, by Lieutenant C. A. L. Totten the United States army, now detailed on professional duty at Yale university. The series comprises four small vol umes, three of which have already appeared, and the fourth is in the printers’ hands In these the author proves the position above stated to his own satisfaction by a fund of exhaust ive research derived from history, sec ular and profane, chronology, astron omy and revelation. Convinced by the cogent and .conclusive reasoning of Professor Totten and of a number of English and some American writers that these things are true, Dr. Jenks arrays himself positively and unequiv ocally with the earnest advocates thereof. He earnestly and affection ately warns all persons, whoever they may be, to put themselves in the line of believers In the Lord Jesus Christ and followers of Him aed members of His coming kingdom unless they would within less than ten years become ashes under the soles ot the feet of the right eous.

The above claim of tbe city of Athens is fully borne out by an executive or der dated, “Atlanta, Ga., March 30, 1872,” in which Gov. Smith uses the following words: “And whereas, by a legislative act of this State approved Dec. i2th, 1866, entitled “An act to provide a college for tbe Mechanic Arts n the Stale of Georgia, under the acts of Congress approved, respectively, July 2nd, 1862, and April 14, 1864.” the Governor is authorized to receive, and sell the land and scrip to which the State was entitled under the actof Con fess approved July 2nd, 1862, and to invest the proceeds of such sale' as he may deem best, in bonds of this State, and to' disburse the interest of said in vestment for tbe support and main teuance of a college such as is contem plated by said act of Congress, and to provide rules and regulations :or the organization, governance and co-operation of said college, until the next ensuing session of tbe general assembly of the State, and to do and perform all other such acts as may be necessary and proper to secure to the State of Georgia the full benefits contemplated by said acta > of congress, so far a« the same may be found practicable.” It is a matter of public record that .Gov. Smith, after thfo giving his au thority derived from thp legislature, proceeded to establish the' college and did, as a matter of fact,, turn over the Landscripa Fund to the trustees of tbe University,with particular instructions as to the “Title,” the “Engineer De partment,” “Free Tuition,’ 1 the “Co operation of the “University,” “Rules and Regulations,” with an order onen- ing tfce college “on May the 1st, 1872.” It is a historical fact that Gov. Smith reported all these acts w> the legislature and that no objection was made to what he had done, in their name.&nd by their authority. But, on the con trary, subsequent legislatures have, from time to time, ratified the Gover nor’s action, and acknowledged the le gal status of the college at Athens by appropriating monies to it. Especially is this true with reference to the act approved Feb. 10,1874 where by tbe legislature assents to the issuing of the bonds of the city of Athens to the amount of $25,000, for the purpose of erecting on the campus of the Uni versity the building known as “Moore College,” for the sole use and benefit of the said College of Agriculture. Thus the building became the visible seal of the compact between the State and tbe city, touching the permanent location of the college. It is a fao’- that tbe Dismpkebiil pro poses to void the contraot with the con sent of the city, without charging wrong upon her, and without offering compensation for the injurv done her Surely if ihe State is thus asked to vio late a contract o£ long standing, there by tempting its own citizens to follow the example, those who move it to do so should have the grace to offer com pensation by refunding all of the mon ey originally spent with interest from date amounting to $59,000 board of prison, where they mighrstate their case. The convicts made a bold stand, bat tbe guards were quickly summoned and every avenue of escape was covered, while armed men filled the doors or the jute mill, where the insurrection started. The convicts re sumed work after obtaining permission to appoint n committee of five to app before the prison directors. After 1 eniug to the complaints from the com mittee the directors informed the men that tbe food was good enough, and the next time there was an outbreak it would be punished by solitary confine ment. Thu is the second stnke at the prison during a week, the convicts hav ing stopped recently to enforce their de mands for better food. ? MURDERER CONVICTED.
