Perhaps, then it deos not matter much to a man who has deliherat* ly tried to Blacken the name of every public man in Geor gia that has ever stood in the way of his political ambition —who has recklessly sought the disgrace not only of his political enemies, hut of his adopted state itself, in order to “accomplish his purpose" —that even one of his “best friends should fall a victim to his love of power —and revenge. In contemplating this cruel, cowardly sacrifice of poor Guyton McLendon —for selfish political purposes, held up as a traitor to his people, when, indeed, he simply refused to he the willing tool of his would-be mas'e.-; given n laroely the semblance of a trial before a jury of partisan political enemies, them selves the subservient slaves of their master,and condemned without the semblance of law or justice to sustain the conviction —we feel very muc h like saving, as a distinguished citizen of Augusta and a Christian gentleman said yesterday in our presence: "I would almost lose my faith in an all wise and just Cod if some awful punishment does not yet over take Hoke Fhnitli for his perse cution of his former friends; a man who has done nothing hut obey the dictates of his own conscience an perforin a duty wlnch he, not the governor, was empowered to perfom. 1 w uld iu t have upon my consci nee the unspeakable infamy of this crime against a friend for all the governorships of all the states in the union-” Poor, bleeding, bruised and crip pled Guyton McLendon! You have, indeed, been made the victim of a false friend's over-reaching ambition and cruel vindictiveness. Rut no disgrace attaches to your martyrdom. Ratlicy would we sit, -tunned and, for the time being, helpless, in your roller chair, than stand proud and triumphant over the prostrate form of a former "best friend," And that roller chair and the cruel crime that has been committed against you —in the name of "the people; ” God forgive the sarcasm of i f , if no more —may yet carry von on, if not here, then hereafter, to loftier places, from whence you may look down, with pity and con tempt, upon your persecutor, and the hell-hounds which he alone, not the people, set upon you. In the meantime, what of Hoke Smith? What comfort can this thing bring to his sold? Will it, after all, serve his over-weening ambition, as he has planned it shall? The mob which Robespierre had so long led, in time, turned upon him. At last, aware of his utter selfishness and sickened hy his cruel infamies —the dawn of reason following a long night of riot and revolution —the chief instrument of it all was, in turn, led to the scaf fold —and Robespierre's head fell into the basket. .lust four months and six days after lie sacrificed his former friends lleliert to his lust for undisputed power. And history has ever had a way of repeating itself. The bill prohibiting college ball games met overwhelming defeat in the house Wednesday morning. Should this l>e taken as evidence that the majority in that branch of the legislature is sane, or was it merely an accident? With the Paragraphed.

Elliot has outlined the new church of the fu ture which leaves God out of it. How quickly some great men shrink up when left to their own resources. —Mi. con News. John Temple Graves is writing about ‘The < )ne-Sidedness of the Na tion.” That must lx- the side he’s on. We frequently meet men who refuse to see “the other side.” — (’hatanooga News. Many of the politicians in the leg islature are stalling premature booms for office. The primary does not come until, next August and it is not always the early aspi rant that gets the office. —Athens Banner. A hig harheeue was given at Jef ferson last Saturday in honor of Editor John N Holder, speaker of the house of representatives. It is whispered that Jackson's favorite son has a desire to occupy a seat in congress and he may he a factor in the next primary.—Lawrenceville News- Herald. The present Georgia legislature is composed of some very able and conscientious men, while on the other hand it contains some who should never he allowed to run loose outside the state asylum. The leg islature has thus far broken the record for the introduction of freak ish and idiotic legislation, and tie end is not yet. —Monroe Tribune. Of all th- freaks, Georgia has the first call. And the state may well begin by calling the roll of the legis lature.
