Tilt: HIHIN BOOMITII.
A groat deal ha* boon said by the news
papers on the subject of the Grant boom.
The question as to his candidacy as a third
termor for the Presidency has been one
held in much doubt. Since hi* retirement
front office he has been parading hintself
before the world no little, which tended to
the conclusion that he entertained ambi
tious aspirations of again occupying the
'White House. What has heretofore been
s ague surmise and conjccturo is ripening
into moral certainty by the recent action
of the “ Keystone Republicanism ” in the
State of Pennsylvania. The Harrisburg
convention held the 4th instant instructed
their delegates to the convention which
meets in Chicago in June next to vote for
Grant. Considerable division prevailed
on this question, but the resolution was
carried by a vote of 133 in favor, to 113
against. The New York Convention will
select delegates on the 24th, and it is
claimed on high Republican authority that
her delegation will go instructed for Grant.
These developments indicate very dearly
that Grant will not only boa candidate,
but that lie will stand a very fair chance
of being the nominee of the Chicago con
vention. In view of these things, the idea
of Mr. Jefferson that the safety of Repub
lics demands a frequent recurrence to first
principles, very naturally presents itself.
There is a great deni of talk about Dem
ocrats supporting Grant, and the South be
coming divided, and all that. Mr. O'Con
ner has acted the role of Solomon in this :
when he was young he was very wise, but
has become old nnd foolish, and in bis do
tage advises n support of Grant; and Mr.
Stephens has said that the South might
go farther and fare worse. We know of
no Presidential candidate against whom the
South ought to be more solidified than
against Grant. Not simply because his
candidacy for a third term will be con
ti ary to the time-honored practices estab
lished by all previous Presidents of the
Republic and against its wise and hallow
ed usages, but because Grant's administra
tions were in open and high-handed op
pression of the South. Whenever her peo
ple can forget and forgive the disgraceful
inflictions of imperious tyranny which
stifled the voice of the struggling citizens
of Louisiana and South Carolina de
throned fair sovereignty itself and estab
lished fraud in its place, and whenever they
are so far humiliated as to press to their
lips the bitter chalice with its dregs ol
poison and kiss with frantic joy the rod
that smote them—then, and not before,
should they follow in the coronal train of
the would-be Einpcror Ulysses.
A VLW TRIAL RCFIKCn.
On Saturday last, tlic Supreme Court of
the State rendered a decision in the ca-c
of Edward Cox. It will be remembered
that he was convicted in May last in Ful
ton Superior Court of the murder of lion.
It. A. Alston. llis ease was heard in the
Supreme Court a short time since, and
that tribunal affirms the verdict of the
jury and the rulings of Judge Uillycr.
Justice Bleckley delivered a lengthy opin
ion, setting forth with clearness the views
reached by a majority of the Court on the
various grounds of error. Justice Jack
son delivered a very terse and logical con
curring opinion. Chief Justico W arner
dissented from the majority of Court, de*
livering quite an able dissenting opinion.
This would seem to be a virtual termina
tion of one of the most famous criminal
trials on the judicial records of the State,
and that the defendant has no other altern
ative but to enter upon the life-long im
prisonment to which he was sentenced.
Ills zealous and able counsel, however,
are loth to give it up, and are considering
the propriety of carrying the case to the
Supreme Court of the United States, on
the ground that Cox was deprived of such
a fair and impartial trial as is contemplated
by the constitution of the Stato.
TH AT ftl PITtVINORSIIir.
Tlic question of the contirmation of Sim
mons ns Supervisor of the Fifth District is
assuming considerable political propor
tions. It has drifted from a matter of per
sonal insignificance to a matter that in ef
fect is a bone of contention between two
political factions—the organized Democra
cy, personated in the character of the gal
lant (jiordon. and Independcntism, repre
sented by Dr. Felton. Quite a stormy
session of the Senate census committee
was held a few days ago. Senator Hill
and Mr. Stephens supported Simmons.
Senator Gordon and Col. Hammond made
strong speeches against his confirmation.
All the Representatives from Georgia are
said to be standing by Gordon, except Mr.
Stephens and Mr. Speer. The former sup
ports Felton in trying to secure the con
firmation, and the latter so far has espous
'cd neither side. The “still sow.’’ we
opine, is drinking more slop.
Atlanta Constitution : “The Sparta Ish
lnacjitc applauds the effort of The Consti
tution to build up the State—its devotion
to the practical interests of the State. The
Hartwell Sun endorses the words of the
Ishmaclite. adding, * Hut didn’t the pro
prietors of the Clement attachment have
to pay a little something for that hand
some cut ? We think they ought.’ All
this in the kindest spirit. Now. wc have
no disposition to blow our own horn iu this
matter, but we do de-ire to say that The
I Constitution has not received a dime for
its articles on the Clement attachment.
The owner*of the patent did not furnish
or pay for the cut; it was ordered and
paid for by The Constitution. And what ia
more. The Constitution expecta to boom
| hereafter whatever it thinks will benelit
the State.”
Our desire in asking the question was
to give our contemporary the opportunity
of answering the query we have heard
propounded often ; and. also, to show that
newspapers are not always working for
their pecuniary interest alone, as some
narrow-minded people are prone to think.
We clip the following from the Atlanta
Daily Constitution apropos of the close of
Mr. Justice Hlccklcy's career as Associate
Justice of the supreme court, which shows
the Judge to possess poetic talauts as well
as judicial functions of an exalted charac
ter. It contains the last decision of Judge
Hlecklcy—the last, but who can say it is
not the sweetest:
‘‘Yesterday Judge Logan E. Hlecklcy
took his leave of the Supreme Court, after
serving as an Associate] Justice for five
years with that ability which has charac
terized hitn in whatever position he has
filled. His farewell was in a manner at
once unique and beautiful. It was so
much like the man, so expressive of bis
gentle nature that it naturally affected his
associates and all who heard him. After
he had delivered several opinions on cases
which the court had decided he took up a
sheet of paper and read therefrom the fol
lowing beautiful lines which were drawn
up in the form of a regular judicial opin
ion :
IK TIIE MATTER OF REST.
HLECKLEY, J.
I. Rest fur thr band anil brow amt bresmt,
Fur finger*, heart anil brain •
Real anil |ieaoe ! a Ion" rrluaM
From labor and from pain ;
Pniti of doubt, fatigue, despair—

In aoft repoae from work nnd woe*
A bliaa for men to kuow t
Itliea of time ia blixa of toil;
No blia* but this, from sin and anil,
Does God permit to grow.
Judge Bleckley read the lines slowly
and with an emphasis which added to
their inherent worth. By order of the
court they were spread on the minutes in
honor of their author.”
It is now confidently believed by the
Charleston and Anderson papers that the
Blue Ridge Railroad will be completed in
a short time. State aid will be invoked.

Two Organs.
Regulate lirst the stomach, second the
liver : especially the first, so as to perform
their functions perfectly and you Wfill re
move at least nineteen twentieths of ill the
ills that mankind is heir to, in this or any

thing that will give perfectly healthy, natu
ral action to these two organs.
A Metlleltie Should not be Viujcd
Bv the suddenness and violence of its ef
fects. Self-evident as this proposition
would scetn, there are many foolish per
sons who arc contont only with a remedy
which acts abruptly. The pill and other
nostrum-vendors who trade upon the cred
ulity of this class, find their “ best holt,”
as poor Artcmus Ward termed it, in the
sale of violent purgatives. So long as they
wrench the bowels of their dupes suffici
ently, they are pretty sure of a certain
measure of success. If instead of such
pernicious rubbish, Hostetters Stomach
Bitters he used, the results are widely dif
ferent. The bowels are relieved, but al
ways gently, by this pleasant laxative,
which does not weaken but invigorates
them, and endows the co-operative organs
of digestion and bilious secretion with ac
tivity and regularity, strengthens the con
stitution and physique, and whilo it is
safe in its constituents, is sufficiently
prompt in operation.
