On last Sabbath, a noisy crowd of young negro bucks gathered on the street corner southeast of the public square and engaged in wrestling. Every fall was accompanied by shouts of laughter and loud talking. | This Sabbath breaking is shameful. A community like ours will not stand it, and if these fellows try the experiment again, Marshal Dooly will be on hand, and per haps there will be a dog-fall in the calaboose Xa ('raw(tailing. An action for damages came to trial in a Justice's Court last week. The summons being dated 14 days when it should have been 15 days before trial, consequently the counsel for defendant moved a non suit, upon that ground. Counsel for plaintiff suggested to the Court that he could go back and date the paper correctly. To which the Court crisply and emphatically replied: “This Court never goes back ward.” Pianos and Organs at Factory Prices. Messrs.

John Fleming has dug a well, but has struck rock. “ Blast the rock !” says he. The people are preparing for the Associ ation, which convenes Friday before the third Sabbath in October. We hope to have a large number of friends to visit us. While the protracted meeting was in progress last week, we attended three burials at Reed Creek in less than twenty four hours. Our young ladies are fond of the aristo cratic part of a chicken, and never refuse a wing to and from church at night. The general deportment while the meet ing has been going on here has been good.

The tourists to the Falls from Hartwell have returned much benefitted. The roof, windows and doors of our handsome jail has been painted. No money in circulation except nickels, and it takes 20 of the nasty little pewter things to make a dollar. We have tasted a sample of peach pre serves, put up by Mrs. Jas. T.

Mack Dutton was thrown by a mule Fri day night, and had his collar bone broken in two places. Seriously but not danger ously injured.

Don't neglect to go and see his place, if you want to buy a home in N. E. Georgia. Apply by Ist October. Com in u n Ira t ion. Possum Corner, Saturday Night. Editors Sun : I think the Convention did too much and too little. Afraid of their popularity, they submitted the prin cipal things to the people that they ought to have settled. It gave aid to North Geor gia, and excluded every other portion of the State. Don't this look a little like trying to bribe the mountain folks to vote for the Constitution ? If I understand this thing, Colquitt is still Governor. lie ought to call an extra session of the Legislature to appropriate more money to pay Toombs the twenty thousand dollars he advanced the boys to settle with their hash houses during their protracted meeting in Atlanta, and to call another Convention, to be com posed of ten men of fair legal ability and sound sense, to make a Constitution right. While we are spending money freely, let’s have everything done up in a clean rag, so everybody and all their kinfolks will be pleased. I think ten men, at one thousand dollars each, could go down to the old quiet Capitol in Milledgeville, where the flies would not pester them, and make a Constitution in ten days as good or better than the United States has. X Wise. Gunther's lug Factory. This is one of the industries of Hart County that is not much known, but nev ertheless it is in full blast, and turns out each week on the market a considerable number of jugs, jars and other ware. In traveling over the County the other day near Barnes’ law ground, we saw at some distance from the road what appeared to be a furnace. After some persuasion we got out to examine it, and were highly pleased with the works. Mr. Gunther, the pro prietor kindly showed us over the grounds, and we can assure your readers that it is well worth the trip to any one that has not seen the mode of operation. The process is this : After selecting the clay, it is hauled up and ground in a mill, which works it up thoroughly and makes it tough. After this it is worked up in small lumps, each lump the requisite size to make the article of ware desired. This lump is then put on a lathe which works right in front of the operator in a horizontal position. AVc saw him put a lump of clay on this lathe, and in four minutes ami a half he fashioned entirely with his hands a beautiful four gallon jar, ready for the furnace. This work is quite a trade, and a man to be able to make this ware must serve an ap prenticeship. The capacity of the furnace is 2,500 gallons, which number he can turn out once a week. He has quite a number of jugs on hand. AA'e saw a great many marked “ N. G. T.” which Mr. Gunther told us were “ Not for Good Templars.” S. Comm mil™ ted. Berryman Springs, Aug. 27,1877. Editors Sun : The past week has been one of great interest to the Church and community at Mill Shoals. A revival meeting has just closed, resulting in the addition of sixteen to the Church, ton of which was by experience and immersion. The Church is under the pastoral care of Elder I. 1). Adams. The visiting minis ters were. Revs. Bower, Royston, Thomas, and a minister from Augusta, Rev. Mr. Brinson, whose labors were greatly bless ed. He is a man of ability. He preached day and night for nine days, and every ser mon was good. He preached one on ” Re ligious Pleasures,” from the text—“ Her ways arc ways of pleasantness, Ac.,” and was the best sermon 1 ever heard. Many were left mourning the love of God to know. On Sunday morning after baptism. Dr. Brinson had a mass meeting of the children. A largo number of little boys and girls congregated together, and listened to one of the best addresses which 1 ever heard made to children, several of whom seemed deeply affected. They received impressions which will last with them as long as they remain in the world. A good impression, 1 think, was made upon the parents, as the preacher eloquently plead for the children. The prayers and good wishes of hundreds will accompany him on his way westward. Yours, truly, John A. Berryman. I,egal Opinion* of fixe New <'on*lMil lion. A reporter of the Chronicle Constitu tionalist interviewed several gentlemen of the legal profession in regard to the new Constitution, with the following result : Judge Gibson’s Views. Reporter : Do you approve the new Constitution, Judge? Judge Gibson: There are many good things in the Constitution that are now laws. The assertion of individual rights and personal liberty cannot be improved. There are, however many things in it I cannot approve, as in my judgment they will tender to degenerate and demoralize every department of the government, and none more so than the legislative depart ment. I never did like ten cent men, and fear them as a class of law makers. I ven tnre to assert Gov, Jenkins, General Toombs nor Mr. Stephans never, in my day, voted themselves as legislators such pav. Nor do 1 think it was to vacate the terms of the present legislators any more than the Judges and Executive. Reporter : What do you think about the new homestead provision? Judge Gibson: As to • the homestead, after now nearly ten years of legislative tinkering and judicial constructions, the people understand it, and have adapted themselves to it. May it not take the same time to settle the provisions of the new, and if the new homestead is approved does it not repeal the old one, and can any homestead in Georgia be taken until No vember, 1878, when the new Legislature meets? Feeling no special or personal in terest in either, I shall trust to the people to do right. Reporter: Do you favor the plan of appealing from one jury to another? Judge Gibson: The Courts are now held at a daily expense to tax payers of from one to two hundred dollars, to say nothing of the loss of ime and delays. Anything that increases either can neither be called retrenchment nor beneficial re form, and the appeal system will increase all at least one-fourth, if not one-third. Reporter: Will the Constitution be adopted, think you? Judge Gibson : I have as yet talked with but two men who fully approve the new Constitution, and I doubt its adoption if a fair vote is allowed and taken. Reporter: Are you in favor of Atlanta orMiFlcdgeville for the capital? Judge Gibson : If the people are in earnest about retrenching they will vote for Milledgeville. Reporter : What about the matter of salaries ? Judge Gibson: Salaries, like personal expenses, should be controlled and gov erned by the exigencies and condition of the exchequer, and prices for necessary articles for living. Ilence I cannot con ceive of a greater mistake and more dis trust of peopte’s representatives, than to incorporate it in the Constitution. If the people needed relief, which I do not ques tion, Chief Justice Warner’s salary, with all others, should have been reduced at once, and not postponed until 1884, when it is very unlikely ne will be continued or even desire it. If you develop one hundred candidates for Judges and Solicitors in the twenty Circuits, and a majority vote must elect, can the Legislature perform this job in less than fourteen days, at a daily ex pense of twelve hundred dollars ? How much then is saved? What Judge Hook Says. The reporter called on Judge James S. Hook, when the following conversation took place : What is your opinion of the Constitu tion ? Taking it as a whole, I regard it the most comprehensive and wise chart of hu man liberty and rights, in its excellent adaption to the present wants and neces sities of our people, ever before vouchsafed to Georgia. Its Bill of Rights is absolute ly admirable, and its executive, legislative and judicial articles are almost without fault. Two years ago when the Chronicle asked my view as to the necessity for call ind a convention to make anew Constitu tion, three of the most prominent reasons I then gave for favoring a Convention were : Ist. Forbidding the State to lend its credit in any manner to corporation*. 2d. To put a final quietus upon what was known as the fraudulent bonds, condemned as such, after careful and honest investigation by the Legislature. 3d. A return to the old jury system, practiced in our Courts until the Constitution of 1868 dislodged it. All these have been made prominent fea tures of the now Constitution by a fair and very able Convention of the truo sons ot Georgia, and for these and its other many merits, it meets mv most cordial approval. How about the homestead exemption? 1 would have been better satisfied with this provision if the wife’s consent to the waiver had been made necessary. Every government should provide a suitable and liberal homestead, and it should be made having a just regard to the right to credi tors, to inure to the benefit of the family beyond ape rad venture. Will appeals to a second jury work well ? Admirably ! This is one of the wisest and best provisions in the new Constitu tion. After many years’ experience in the Courts, 1 can say juries usually decide right. And when a man has had two fair juries to pass upon his rights he’ll lo apt to rest there, and the Supreme Court will not have more than half its present heavy work. Do you think tho Constitution will be adopted ? Yes, by forty thousand majority. Do you favor MiUedgoviUo or Atlanta for the capital? If 1 were governed by mere sentiment springing from old and cherished associa tions, I would say Milledgcville. But in view of the interests of the State at large, and the general convenience of the govern ment and the people, I much prefer At lanta. Do you think tho matter of salaries should have been placed in the Constitu tion ? Ido not. This should have been left to the wisdom and patriotism of the Legisla ture to determine according to the exigen cies of the times. I see no reason why this matter could not as safely be left to the Legislature as the high duty of electing the Judiciary. But this, and perhaps some few other things that do not meet my en tire sanction, are. in view of the splendid work as a whole, very small matters — mere spots on the sun’s disc. Mr. Black's Opinion. The reporter next interviewed Hon. J. C. C. Black, Representative to the Legislature from Richmond county. AVhat are your views in reference to the new Constitution, Mr. Black? In some respects I think it much better than the present one, though there are some very objectionable provisions in it. 1 had not seen it as a whole, until your pa per of yesterday, and have not yet deter mined how l w'ill vote on it. Do you favor the homestead of 1868 or that of 1877? 1 prefer that of 1877. What is your opinion in regard to ap peals from one jury to another ? 1 would not like a restoration of the old appeal system. Ido not believe it will di minish the number of cases carried to the Supreme Court. This seems to be the chief reason urged by those who favor it. It will increase the expense of our Courts, delay the enforcement of of legal rights, otters temptation to false swearing and op poses the maxim, “It is to the interest of the Republic that there should be an end of litigation.” The Constitution simply au thorizes the Legislature to restore it. Do you prefer Atlanta or Milledgcville for the capital ? I am inclined to favor Atlanta. Will the Constitution be adopted? 1 think it will. Do you think the salaries of the Govern or and Judges should have been fixed by the Constitution? I do not. Will you be a candidate for re-election to the Legislature? Most emphatically, I will not.
