I'H \T DEMOCRATIC LEGISLATURE. ] To the Free Press: Judge Lester, 1 1io Atlanta Constitution nml Joe Branham, of Rome, openly state that the Legislature of 18(18, 1860, ami one session of 1870, was a Deinooratie Legislature. The journal says this leg islature assembled in .Inly, 1860, and the authorities say they expelled the ne itu*s three weeks afterwards, “making The Legislature Demoeratle” thereby. < onley was president of the Senate and McWhorter speaker of the House. In March, 1860, Judge Lester was made domestic commissioner of immigration. This he, Branham and the Constitution , all say was a Democratic measuiv. In March, 1860, fire days after, the Rrnnswick Albany Railroad bill be came a law. If Democrats passed tlie first, they parsed the last. Then cannot tlnit n it. The bills that passed the same J cgi-latnre authorizing the bonds oi the • herokee and Van Wert Railroad, the Alabama and Chattanooga railroad, the Macon & Brunswick road and several other similar schemes, passed in Septem ber ,1868 and March, 1860. Of these bonds, a committee -of three, Garnett McMillan, John I. Hall and one other ■ay that they were passed by the “infer nal use of (jotit." llehohl a Demo’ratic Legislature! 11 you claim one measure claim them all. If you deny one you must deny all. Col. Branham says the State Agricul tural Society passed the bill for Foreign and Domestic Immigration. Judge Les ter has the honesty to say “the State Agrieultural Society refused to have any thing to do with it, stating the law was not what they wanted, and the scheme was barren oi' results.” (You had better confer with Judge Lester next time, Col. Beanham.) The State Road [.ease was passed and went into effect, at the close of the year 1870. Of course that was a Democratic measure lieeause so many organized Dem ocrats were zealous for it then and after wards. (t. X. Lester says he was so violently in favor of it that. Gov. Brown engaged him to work on the Legislature to ratify it. Judge Lester proceeded to engage and Gov. Brown gave him $“*00 to retain him. (The Governor was wise to retain him.) The Constitution took $5,000 for the same work and then took two or three thousand from the other side. “We made some seven or eight thou sand dollars out of the lease, says the At lanta < 'onstitution, February 10th, 1876. Lester’s receipt for SI,OOO is in the pub lic records. Here was a Legislature that has been the shame of Georgia! Here were the members who charged all our w oes on Bullock and Ids “piratical crew.” These were the men and this the Legisla ture that G. X. Lester and the Atlanta i 'onstitution falsely charge to be Demo cratic to cover up their ill-gotten gains! Shame upon such trickery! Shame upon such organs and lawyers, who do these “disreputable” deeds and try to hide it by saying “Democrats did it.” Let the truth come out. If Democrats did it, the Bepublicons are innocent. If Bullock fleeced the State, and filled the pockets of these “organized” Demo crats with the gold of the State, let them Im tried again—with Bullock. Bullock was tried and Democratic witnesses cleared him. The reason is plain.' Bul lock could put his finger on the men who bad helped to do it. Record. JUDGE LESTER AND THE STATE ROAD LEASE. To the Free Press £ When this leases was passed through Bullock’s legislature, Judge Lester had an office in Atlanta. There is no pub lished receipt of his taking a lobby fee until 1872. But, if if was no harm in 1872, he considered it no harm in 1870. He says lie “talked so much” about the lease that be signed a contract in 1872, to lobby the ratification. Let lin an swer whether he rook a fee in 1870. We believe be was trilling, and took it if he could get it. So many got lobby fees about that time, that it is only reasonable to conclude he did not slight any offer. Any man who could defraud the State out the half of SIO,OOO as Domestic Com missioner of Immigration, would not be tender-footed about any lobby fees —be- -Ides he took the SI',(XK) without any qualms of conscience in 1872. Will the honest citizens of Georgia look at the transaction which deprived the State of $2,400,000 ? The Legislature requires the half of the road earn ings to be used as a school fund. Sup pose we had secured the otter that would have saved the immense sum above sta red ? We would have .added to the school fund SOO,OOO per year additional to the quail stun no w allowed to this great edu cational enterprise. Georgia needs this money that Judge Lester helped to cheat the State out of. That bribe of SI,OOO, cheated the poor children of Georgia out of $60,000 per year. This is the candi date, set up for Congress. Why did the new constitution condemn lobbying ? The Convention that met in Atlanta last summer made “ lobbying ” a penal offence. What is lobbying ? The work that lawyers and practitioners of a certain stripe’do in the Legislature to prevent the passage of certain bills, or to push through certain bills for which they take money! Col. L. N. Trammell says he took $7,500 to push the Brunswick & Albany railroad through the Legislature. That was lobby work. The president of that road sicore on oath, he got a heap more, but that is enough to make him a pro fessed lobbyist. lie says it wets rujht. The new constitution of Georgia says it i- an offense punishable by the State. Who was correct V Judge Lester took SI,OOO from Gov. Brown to work on the Legislature of 1872 to ratify the State road lease. That was lobby work. He ays it was right! The new constitution ays it was a crime. Who is correct ? If these men took a fee in one case and believe it right, do you not believe they took as man)' as were offered to them ? Ge: . Toombs says these easy-going lawyers, who hung around Bullock, •t>elonged to the regular lobby, and that they practiced their calling under other administrations with equal activity and ueeess, and now having no claims on The people, they use so-rolled Democratic convention, to foist themselves into office.” Will the honest jteople of Georgia send a mendter of the ‘“regular lobby” to practice in Washington ? Bartow. The other day, as two newly arrived Irishmen were walking up Kearney street, a pavement trap door opened and a Chinese store porter emerged. “Be gorra!” said one of them, “if the hay- Fhens haven’t got a tunnel clane thro’ front Chinee, bad luck to them.” A Paris dispatch announces the death of Louis Baker, who shot the famous sporting character “Bill” Poole in new York city twenty-three years ago. Ba ker escaped owing to a disagrement of the jury, and a second trial resulting the same way he left the country. THE .JUDICIAL ERMINE IN THE SLOUGH OF POLITICS Columbus Times.] Since the memory of man runneth not to the contrary, the bench has lteen re garded a* the seat of justice and the er mine an emblem of the purity of official character. Of the true Judge a eelebrat et |s*er says: ‘‘With an equal scale He weighs the offences lwtween man and man: He is not soothed with adulation, Nor mov’d with tears, to wrest the course of jus tice Into an unjust current, to oppress the innocent: Nor does he make the laws Punish the man, hut in man the cause.” A Judge is hut a man, and to fill the high ami responsible trust with which lie is invested when elevated to the bench, he should be, as far as passible, removed from even necessary participation in any of the questions or affairs of the people which tend to heated discussions, rival ries jealousies, envyings, hatreds and combinations to raise up one and put down another, and voluntarily participa ting in such matters by a Judge, should receive :is scorning'a frown ofcomdem nafion from the people as an Arabian simoon. The dignity and purity of the Georgia bench has been so well sustained (except during the period when men were put in to that high position who were not the choice of the people) that we had hoped it would never become our duty to con demn the course of one of her sons who wears the judicial ermine. It should not be so, nevertheless it is too true that politics is demoralizing in its results, and no judge while engaged in, or passing through a heated political contest, can mete out even and exact jus tice to friends and foes alike. When a judge becomes a candidate for a political office, he should resign his judgeship and let another l*e appointed, who, when he is upon the bench, will be tree from the influence of the heated political strife. We regret that it is our painful duty to condemn the course of Judge George X. Lester, the nominee of our party for Con gress in the seventh congressional district of this State, The campaign in the sev enth district is a heated one. It grows more bitter day by day, and the friends of the candidates are raging like an an gry sea. Judge Lester has so lost his pa tience in the heat of the contest as to call his opponent “an unmitigated liar.” Can any one doubt the effect such a scene would have upon an impartial mind? A judge appointed to preserve the peace seeks to provoke a difficulty. Does any one suppose that a judge who so far loses es his telnper as to use such language to his opponent, could, while on the bench, so control Ids feeling engendered during the campaign as to do justice to his oppo nents ? Though there is no statue debating a judge from active participation in poli tics, still there should be a common law among the people to effectually condemn such a course, Judge Lester is the reg ular nominated candidate of the Demo cratic parly: and few are the instances when the party is justified in not support ing its nominee, but this is an instance where the party would lose more by Hie success ofits nominee than by his defeat, for establishing such a precedent would lie certain to react to the detriment of the party in the future. Let it be said to the honor of Georgia, we do not believe there is another judge in the State who would have an eye so single to his private gain as to hold to his judgeship with one hand while grasping for Congressional honors with the other. We think it is the duty of the Demo cratic press of the State, and indeed, that of every true Democrat, to condemn the course of Judge Lester in not resigning his office of judge when lie accepted the nomination for < ’ongress. He cannot point to his unsolicited and unanimous nomination as an evidence that he is not actuated by selfish motives in accepting the call of bis party, for if patriotic, he would have felt equally call ed upon to obey the wishes of the party to submit Ills resignation as judge, since be cannot fail to see the interests of his party would have suffered less had lie de clined to accept its call, than to enter the political arena in his judicial robes. For it is a matter which affects not only the people of the seventh district, but the entire Democratic party of the State, and a failure to condemn hjs course will be construed as an approval of It. We have no reason to believe that Judge Lester would not make an able and faithful Representative in Congress, if elected, hut no matter what may he his abilities, character and qualifications, the Democratic party should not tolerate the course of the Judge in dragging the ermine through the slough of politics, and the people of the seventh district should so effectually condemn such a course as forever to preclude its repeti tion. Let not our brethren of the seventh dis trict in their love admiration of their lead er, and their personal affection for him, forget the sacred duty of a judge and the fearful consequences of such a precedent. Vox Populi. RUNNING AGAINST THE MACHINE. One of the most notable feautures of the race is the wonderful strength displayed by the Independents. In almost every county where there was an independent race the nominee was beaten, and the Independents trium phantly elected. In Thomas county the nominees were elected, and also in the Richmond Senatorial district. In such sturdy constituencies as Rome and Ath ens the Independents were elected by large majorities. In DeKalb, Col. Al ston more than doubled his opponents, and hardly one-fourth of the votes were cast for the regular nominee. In the Senatorial districts Preston, Ind., beat McHenry nominee; Harknes, Ind., beat Grantland, nominee; Lumpkin, Ind., l>eat Davenport, nominee, and so on through the list. Col. Candler sored him self in the Gainesville district, but more by his personal effort than otherwise. The strongest claim of the Indepen dents lies in the fact that in dozens of counties there were no nominations made. Yielding to an almost unanimous wish the “bridles have been pulled off,” in many of the counties, and a free-for-all tight indulged in. This was the case in Atlanta and a majority of the Senato rial districts. It is a noteworthy fact that in all of these races not a single Republi can candidate has appeared to contest the prize, or take advantage of the split in the Democratic ranks. The negroes, it appears, were more than willing to have the “color line” broken down, and rang ed themselves under whichever Demo cratic leader their choice fell upon. In many cases the majority of the negroes went with the regular ticket against the Independents. All in all it looks as if the Independents had a very good day of it.— Atlanta Con stitntton, of December last.

Editor Columbus Enquirer-Sun: In the year 1869, the Legislature of Georgia was impressed with the imme diate necessity of colonizing the Old Commonwealth with anew population. Stripped by the war, poor and needy, the old guard must giro way to anew te ller of things. If you will read the Jour nal of 1869, you will see how unanimous these salons became on that important question. On March !•), 1809, the hill became a law, and the same day witness ed the election of two Commissioners — Foreign and Domestic. A sum of ten thousand dollars was set apart for their compensation—seven thousand dollars of this sum was to pay their salaries and three thousand to pay for printing. < 01. G. X. Lester opened an office in Atlanta as Domestic Commissioner, and Col. Sam Weil departed for Germany as Foreign Commissioner. So far so good. J udge* Lester says it would be impossible to tell how much talking and writing lie did for the good cause, seated in bis office in Atlanta, lie drew his salary in installments of five hundred dollars regularly, and drew from two to three hundred dollars for printing. He just spread himself in that office, and we are sure it would be impos sible to ascertain the “talking,” etc., that was accomplished. Commissioner Weil had been away from his faderland some years, and he now travelled around the homestead four teen months, and printed lots of circu lars. He “talked” and “talked” and was doubtless much encouraged by the situation as he staid so long. Judge Lester says in his letter of resig nation, that the State Agricultural Socie ty would have nothing to do with the scheme, as the law was not what they wanted, as the whole scheme was barren of good results. The people became violently opposed to the immigration enterprise and de nounced the Legislature for passing if. The Judge grew a little restive. He kept a steady look-out from that office door for the coming German. He continued to talk nevertheless and Brother Paul was so handy (as Gov. Bullock’s private sec retary) he was not lonesome. The native Georgians began to grow restless, too. They were taxed to death to pay all these legislative bills, and could indulge in but few comforts and no luxuries, to be able to meet their taxes. They began to talk. The clamor grew louder (which might not have disturbed this brave commission er, if the money till had not become so nearly empty) and Judge [.ester became anxious to see Weil and the emigrants. He mounted bis look-out every day, and like the noble Wellington, would cry, “Oh! that the German or more money would come!” The “days grew longer and the nigh Is were drear,” in anxious desire to see the Teutons who were to show Georgia far mers how to do business. Brother Paul and the Governor cheered his drooping spirits in their kindest way, but the ex pectancy and continued disappointment on the mind of this noble patriot, had he not become impressed that the State Road would he leased about this time, we fear would have been excessive and the talk ing worn him out. At. last he got news from Weil. The fourteen months toil and severe labor were about to bear fruit. The Domestic Com missioner garnished Ids office, sent for Brother Paul and the Governor anti wait ed with smiling face the most welcome sight of Weil. The brave Teuton grace fully alighted at the office door and intro duced the emigrant, who some say was his betrothed wife, and others his niece. The Judge cried out “close up boys!” the actors passed from the stage. On Xo veinber Ist, 1861, Samuel Weil introdue a bill in the Legislature for compensation for bis losses as Comminissioner of Immi gration. A Reader of the Journal. Mr. Jeffrey has established the fact that hones disappear in the ocean. By dredg ing it is common to bring up teeth, but rarely ever a bone of any kind; these, however, compact, dissolve, if exposed to the action of the water but a iittle time. On the contrary, teeth —which are not hones any more than whales are lish —resist the destroying action of the sea water indefinitely. It is, therefore, a powerful solvent. Still, the popular opin ion is that it is a brine. If such were the ease, the bottom of all seas would, long ago, have been shallowed by immense ac cumulations of carcasses and products of the vegetable kingdom constantly Boat ing into them. Destine, the peculiar ma terial of which teeth are formed, and the emanel covering them, offer extraordina ry resistance to these chemical agencies which resolve other animal remains to nothingness. Mounds in the West, tu muli in Europe and Asia, which are be lieved to ante-date sacred history for thousands of years yield up perfectly sound teeth, on which time appears to have made no impression whatever. A correspondent of the New Orleans Picayune, writing from the mail steamer Pa ragout l last week describes the terror caused all along the Mississippi river by the report of the ravage of yellow fever at New Orleans. At Vidalia, La., the natives came to the landing with stones and clubs, and fought back the crew of the steamer when the latter attempted to take some baggage on board. At Natch ez the flash of a cannon warned the Par goud to remain aloof. The people of Delta even tried to prevent the mail from being landed, and at Vicksburg not a deck-hand was allowed to leave the shore end of the steamboat staging. Commerce is paralyzed for a time on the great water highway of the West, and it is to be hop ed that the unreasonable panic will soon subside. The Ancient Order of United Work men, of which the last session was held in St. Louis, March 19, 1878, has about eleven hundred lodges in the United States, and a membership of about sixty five thousand. It was first organized at Meadville, Pa., in 18G8, and its growth during the past two or three years has been quite rapid and vigorous. The prin ciples of the order are said to be entirely on the side of peace and harmony between labor and capital, inculcating wise meas ures for the remedy of existing evils, and opposing strikes as one of the chief ob stacles to relief. There is some evidences that a photo graphic 1 copy of John Sherman’s letter to Anderson and Weber is in existence. When that is produced Mr. Sherman will hardly dispute the veracity of the sun, who has a remarkable talent for taking exact copies of what he sees with his great, all-searching eye. Adile Ilanun, the heroine of the late war in Turkey, is a native of Bagdade, and a Mohammedan by religion. She is rich and enthusiastically devoted to her country and faith, wears the yasmak, gave numerous instances of her bravery and endurance during the battles in Arme nia.
