Bautow county is very indignant, and justly so too, that the exposition pre mium for the best mineral display should have gone to Floyd and they now pro pose to have a kind of private exposi tion of their own. That is, they intend getting good specimens of their minerals and other things and artistically arrange them in a large room in Cartersville. The idea is a good one and-will bring capital to Bartow, our sister county, whose mineral richness is known far and wide. The richest mineral, timber and agricultural counties in the state are Cherokee and Bartow, and too, their water powers are simply inexhaustible and put into proper use can turn thous ands of wheels, spindles, etc. No matter what others may say Bartow and Chero kee have intrinsic merit and the “truck itself which will tell every time where the Ix-st section of (ieorgia is located, ami experts readily recognize this fact.

These gentlemen, di.-qstsed to be peaeeable and allow oar Floyd friends to have it theirowii way,are neverlltel<*ss ready to substantiate their assertions when the proper demand is made. The question though probably of no great importance (for the prospectors hunting for minerals are going to the beds where the samples came from, it makes no difference where the county line or lines may be drawn) cannot help our section J by being bitterly discussed. Our people ; are bearing their defeat with enmmenda ble fortitude, knowing full well that while other counties may have the "reputa- tion," they've got the minerals. Our Homan friends worked hard for their honors, in and out of season, and their zeal is highly commendable. They are great friends of Bartow county. They ought to be. Every few days a Roman or so invests in ourlands—mineral lands. The “formations’' in Bartow are proba bly better known by Rome land—mineral land —hunters than anybody. We admire their judgment, for there is nothing bet ter than Bartow land—mineral land. The Tribune aptly says: “We cannot afford to do without Bartow,” or words to that effect. Right ye are. You need our mineral lands to back up your mag nificent mineral exhibit. Good, sensible young man, with a happy knack of know ing on which side your bread is buttered, you bet. Old Bartow's a howler, espe cially on minerals, and it is good when any other county or section ties on to her. Birmingham and Chattanooga tied on to her minerals some time ago; in fact, tin 1 three mineral cities are linked together with cars of fine iron and man ganese. Have you ever heard of any great amount of mineral going out of Floyd? Has Birmingham or Chatta nooga tied on to the mineral wealth of Floyd or the City of Seven Hills? Oris it that the town is simply acting as a coupling-pin between the three great steel making centres? She should be happy in this respect to say the least. W e admire our Roman friends a great deal, wish we had a few of them over here to whoop things up. They’re hustlers, so to speak, and they know how to keep hustling—behind the scenes with a basket of champagne. The\ deserve all they got, notwithstanding the cost. They’ve made enough money on Bartow cotton to pay for almost anything. No, we will not discuss.the matter fur ther —its too troublesome. AYe haven't got the time; either Floyd or Bartow county. Time's precious and we're on the eve of a great boom for the latter and it boomlet for the former. Then, too, we haven’t got time toliunt up the many dates for t he months prior to the opening of the exposition, when land—mineral land—hunters called at our livery sta bles for vehicles. Then, too, the express agent at this place is too tired to hunt up the shipping dates before the exposi tion when “boxes of minerals” left our bed and board and took up with Floyd. No, we haven't time to discuss, for t his will be done by prospectors after fine ores. We'll give a whoop for the great Northwest Georgia Roman fair that is proposed to be held, and *to which, we tire all so cordially invited. Ah, ye, “Shaeob and Levi,” we’ll be there.

On to-morrow, the sentence of the state courts of Illinois in the cases of the Chicago anarchists will be executed, and seven men will expiate one of the most shocking crimes and foulest eousperaoiee of t he age. The cases were carried to the Supreme Court of the Knifed States by writ of error. The anarchists were represented by able counsel, and every point raised was fully argued. The opinion of the court was long, and carefully prepared. The decision was pronounced by Chief. Justice Waite, and occupied thirty-five minutes,in reading it. The writ of error prayed for was denied. The court held in brief: t. That, the first ten amendments to the constitution are limitations upon the federal and not upon the State action. 2. That the jury law of Illinois is upon its face valid and constitutional, and that it is similar in its provisions to the statute of Ftah, which was sustained in this court in the case of Hoyt vs. the Territory of Ftah 8. That it does not appear on the record that upon the evidence, the trial in court should have declared Juror San ford incompetent; -f. That the objection to the admission of Johann Most’s letter, and the cross examination of Spies, which the counsel for the prisoners maintained virtually compelled them to testify against them selves, were not objected to during the trial in court, anij that, therefore, no foundation was laid for the exercise of this court's jurisdiction; and, a. That the Questions raised by Gen Butler in the eases of Spies and Fielden upon the basis of their foreign nationali ty were neither raised nor decided in the State courts, and. therefore, cannot be considered here. The writ of error prayed for must consequently be denied. Thus it-will be seen that the courts un determined to vindicate the law, and that free America is no place for the read-handed murderers and anarchists. The dicisiou settles several questions as to the powers of State courts in the trial ot State criminals. And it is to be hoped will have ;♦ salutary effect in detering others who might be disposed to follow in path of the seven condemned men who pay the fearful penalty ot their t crime, to-morrow, on tlie scaffold. Money and Trade. The Financial Chronicle says: The public has begun to appreciate the im portance —not generally recognized when we called attention to it last Saturday— of Sis-ret ary Fairchild's new arrange ment for placing in depository banks all of his current surplus revenue. His plan has been working; now another week, and, as, we anticipated, the fear of fu ture treasury accumulations has wlioly gone, while, as practical result of the arrangement, no currency has been ex tracted from commerce by tiovernment operations. Hence, so far as the sub treasuries are concerned, receipts and disbursements have almost absolutely balanced, leaving bank reserves sub stantially untouched, to gain by im ports of gold and to lose only the net loss oil tlie interior movement. In other words, there has been not lung art ilieial disturbing the money market. Trade influences alone have Iteen in -o|M*rntion, and tts the outfibw for crop purposes has, in a measure, subsided, it is no surprise that discount rates have declined. Gov. Gordon Renders If is Decision. Gov. Gordon has rendered his decision in the convict cases, brought lieforx* him some weeks since. He finds that peniten j tiary companies 2 ami .4 have violated j the law, in that they have cruelly and ex j tensively whipped the convicts, and in | some cases, required of them unreasone j ble and excessive labor. The decision j orders that these two companies pay into tie* treasury of the State the sum of $2,500 each, making five thousand dol lars in the aggregate, by the 1 ot^ day of February next, and that said companies shall signify to the Governor by the first day of December next whether they will pay tie* same by the said loth day of February, 1888. Should the said com panies give the said notice to the Gov ernor and pay into the State treasury the amount herein claimed as damages by the dates named respectively, then the contracts with the State will stand tin re scinded for any of theca uses inquired into and passed upon in his order. If the said lease companies shall fail to give to the Governor notice as aforesaid, or fail to pay the said sums as damages by the said loth day of February next, such further order will be made its the Governor may deem proper in tie? prem ises respecting the cancellation of the contracts, the surrender and reletting of the cf.nvicts, or any other matter or. thing connected with the subject. It is further ordered that, for final ac tion on the question of cancellation and for action that may be incident thereto, these proceedings stand adjourned until the time for giving said notice lias ex pired. and if the notice shall be given, then until the time for making payment has expired. In rendering his decision, tin* Governor establishes* two important principles which have caused wide differences of opin ion, since the adoption of the lease act. They are: 1. The right of the owner, of shares in the lease companies to transfer their shares to third parties. 2. The responsibility of the lessees to the State, for the acts and conduct of their subordinates. Governor Gordon’s decisions will be generally approved and have a healthy effect. Louisville furnishes a crime almost equal to tin* \\ oolfolk tragedy, in atroci ty. 011 last Thursday night Charles B. Brownfield, a young man of good char acter, deliberately cut the throats of Ids sleeping wife and infant child, and ltis wife's brother, W.' F. Bruner, after which he hanged himself. The deed was com mitted some time during Thursday night, find was discovered next morning at 9:30 o’clock, when Mrs. Brownfield’s mother and sister went to the house to pay a visit to the family. Brownfield left a note, written after the murder, in which he stated that he kHied his wife and baby because he was tired of life and did not want them left in the world pen niless, with no one to lake care of them. He said that he killed Bruner because lit* did not think he was fit to live. The cause for his growing weary of life, he stated to be gambling, and it is an awful sermon his words and deeds preach against that vice. Gen. Gordon has returned from Ohio where he delivered three speeches to im mense gatherings. He expresses himself as delighted with his reception and treat ment, and says tin* bloody shirt is only waved by the politicians. The masses of the people give it no sympathy. We are glad to see that he repudiates the story going tin rounds of the press that he kissed Gen. Morgan. He says that it is a lie made of whole cloth, circulated by a reporter of a republican newspaper.

N. i’ll inks Washington City not so I>esperat Wicked. tla* I'miiiin nt of the City anil Their J’tistors. Washington has many handsome churches, and most of them art* well at tended. There is it widely prevailing opinion that Washington is desolately wicked, and that here till the prevalent vices of the age find fullest development and freest scope. It cannot be said that it is a good city: indeed many of the charges brought against it an* true, but 1 am not sure that it is worse than other cities of the knifed States. There are seasons of the year when it presents a dashing and giddy appearance. When fashion and folly, dash ami dissipation seem to swt*ep everything before them. 1 his is during the session of congress when strangers are here from all parts 1 f the world, flush with money, ami spoiling’ for a good time. Then it is that there, can be heard “a sound of revelry by fight, and the cry is “on with the dance, let joy be unconfined!” But the citizens of \\ ashington proper are not resposi ble for this. They are leisurely and quiet in their ways, taking the world easy and enjoying life in a different way from that seen on the surface during the winter months, and there cannot be found anywhere a city of its size where more church bells break 011 the air on Sunday morning, and where more people can be s<*en going to tin* places of wor ship. It may be of interest to speak of some of these churches more in detail. Cavalry Baptist church, on the corner of Bth and II streets, is the most popu lar and fashionable of the Baptist churches of the city. 1 think it has a membership of a thousand or more, and the Sunday School, including two branch mission stations, has nearly fifteen hun dred members. It is a neat building, well constructed, prettily decorated, and lias a seating capacity of perhaps a thousand. Ihe pastor is Dr. Samuel 11. Greene, of New York State. He is a com paratively young man for so responsible a charge, but for seven years past he has bent to his work, audit is largely through the church has attained its present prosperity. Dr. Greene is a man of strong personality. He doesn’t preach these high-sounding, coldly intel lectual sermons. It doesn't strike the hearer that the preacher is on the other side of a stone fence, ora mile away while in the pulpit, but he gets close to his con gregation. There is a personal magnet ism about the mail that seems to radiate from him and connect itself with those around him. Not specially eloquent. Not particularly learned. Not startling ly sensational. He is earnest, practical, sv mpathetic and logical. There is some thing warming in what lie says. His words strikeyou as coming straight from his heart. There is no swiveling cant or weekly sentimentalism about his way of preaching, but it has the touch of pathos and the ring of Christian conviction. There is no straining after affect, nor ap parent effort to please for the mere sake of pleasing or of gaining a crowd, and yet he wins the people to him and never preaches to small congregations. Che New A ork Avenue Presbyterian church is the most handsomely furnished church in the city. It is not the largest, but the interior decorations and appoint ments are splendid. The congregation is made up of rich and fashionable people. I have sometimes felt in going there that it was more a place for show than for worship. The house is so pretty, the.peo-. pie so fine, and the mangement so stately and dignified, that onecau easily imagine that an icicle is touching somewhere. But this feeling is dispelled when Dr. Bart lett, the pastor, begins to speak. He is a pulpit orator of splendid gifts and fine presence, speaks without manuscript, and gives to his sermons a touch of elo quence and earnestness that is very win ning and heart-stirring. If you should come to Washington and stay over Sun day; wanted to see the most fashionably dressed people, and also hear a good ser mon, you could not do better, perhaps, than to visit the New York Avenue Pres byterian church. The Metropolitan Methodist church, on Four-and-a-Half street, near Pennsylva nia Avenue, is known to Washingtonians as the church that. Grant built. Dr. John P. Newman, who is its pastor, was the pet and favorite spiritual adviser of Gen eral Graift, and it was during his admin istration this church was built. It seems that Grant, through his fondness for Dr. Newman, took great interest in its con struction. He subscribed liberally him self and secured others to subscribe, so that the church was rapidly built and I)r. Newman was installed as the pastor. It is the largest church in the city and has the tallest steeple, but the architec ture is bad and the interior looks gloomy. Dr. John P. Newman is now its pastor. This man won much of his notoriety by toadying around Gen, Grant, and acting as his spiritual adviser during his last illness. He seems to pride himself on his connection with the late ex-president and never loses an opportunity to speak of him as his intimate friend. But, aside from this, he is one of the finest pulpit speakers in the city. Indeed he has few superiors as an eloquent preacher. He is a man of large build and broad Irish cast of face. He stands very erect and looks his congregation square in the face as he speaks. The sermon flows from him in well rounded periods and his eloquence is sometimes of that sweeping, towering kind that is almost irresistible. It is not an unusual thing for his congregation to break into stirring applause, and he near ly always fills his large church with an eager and attentive congregation. Yet 1 do not like him; nor does any truly Southern man like him. He is a Republi can of Republicans; a northern Republi can—a radical. He appears to see noth ing good outside that party, and he preaches his politics. Hardly a Sunday passes that he does not make a slap at the South. His favorite expression for Southerners is “traitors,” and his refer ence to the war is “treason against the 1 nion." It Dr. Newman would only *4KIH c POWDER Absolutely Pure.

A* it is, the pleasure of hear ing him is sadly marred to a man of Southern sympathies. The church where President and Mrs. Cleveland worship is a modest little brown church just across the street from the Metropolitan Methodist It is very plain both outside and inside. Dr. Byron 11. Sunderland, the little man who tills the pulpt, is himself very plain and be gins to show signs of shrivelling up. Xhe church is of the Presbyterian faith, and the congregation that ordinarily wor ships there is made up of the staid, prime, old-time sort of people that we can re member to have seen at church when we were children. I say the congregation that ordinarily worships there, tor now that the President and Mrs. Cleveland are pew holders, when it is known that they are to attend, the audience is as large and stylish as one would care to see. I)r. Sunderland is a quaint, dry preacher. His sermons are read from manuscript, and he is by no means a good reader. But he wades bravely into what seems to bean interminable heap of manuscript, and stays with it until •t he last page has been turned. It is not to be understood that he is a man of poor ability. He is not. His sermons are orthodox, thought ful and strong. He is not a sorry preach er; but you know it is very monotonous to have to listen to a long sermon, espe cially when it comes from manuscript and ’ is poorly read at that. If time would permit, there are many other churches of which it would be pleas ant to write. There is the Mount Vernon Place Methodist church, where Dr. Harri son used to preach, and which, I believe, is the only Southern Methodist church in the city. The I street Presbyterian church, where the Southern Presbyterians worship, and which- is presided over by that good Christian and true Southern man. Dr. Pitzer. The Rock Creek Epis copal church, an old-time vine-covered little cjfurch, built in 1719 with bricks brought from England, and many years preached to by the venerable Dr. Buck, who looks and is almost as old as the church. The South Washington Baptist church, where those of the true Southern blood and spirit met during the trying times of the war, led and ministered to by that good and noble man, Dr. Meadow, who still leads and preaches to them with his old time zeal and vi/for. But I cannot lengthen this letter to tell of all the many places where the people of Washington meet to worship God. There may be, and are, many wicked people in our capitol city, but there are equally as many and more who remember the Sabbath day and keep it holy, and who worship God with reverence and love. W. J.

Wm. Mi lx Kit, P. M. A NAMELESS CASE. M.v case has been a very curious one for about thirteen years. At intervals of about one week I would la attacked with speels of severe and most excruciating pain, always commencing in there. K'ion ot iny kidneys. The pain would then go up wards and affect m.v body anil head, and seemed to penetrate my very eye-balls,creating the most intense suffering, lasting about eight hours each speel. I resorted to all kinds of medicine without bene fit. Several doctors treated my case, but none gave relief. 1 finally used B. B. li as an expert, ment, and to my utter astonishment all pain and suffering vanished after using three doses. To tile present time I have used three bottles, and not a pain has eyer ret urned. Ido not know what was the matter, neither could my physician name the complaint. The ii. B I!, acted finel.i and powerfully upon my kidneys; my appetite has been splendid and my constitution built up rapidly. R. THOMAS, Constitution, Ga., May <l, lssti. UNIMPEACHED INTEGRITY -lam 55. Broke down twelve years ago, and have not been able to work since. Have lost proper action of my hips anil leers. For five years scrofulous sores have appeared on my scalp ami nose, and at same time my eyesight began to fall, and for three years have been comparatively blind. Have been treated by eminent physicians of different schools without a cure. 1 have taken five bottles of It. B. B. ( made at All ant a, Ga.), and all scrofulous sores are gradually healing. In flammation about my eyes has disappeared and there is some improvement in my vision. Am very much lienefitted and relieved and begiu to feel like a boy again—feel good. My strength and activity are returning in my legs and hips. The B. B. B. acts vigorously upon my kidneys, and the great quantity of matter that has been forced out through the skin is utterly fui redible, often so offensive in odor as to produce nausea. 1 refer to all business men of l.aGrange Ga. , , .
