Till. K.INSER IIHSI.HO.
The two political parties for the Presi
dential stake arc beginning to lay their
plans, view the battle field and prepare for
the conflict. The Republican party have
designated the fifth of dune next, and
Chicago, Illinois, as the time and place for
holding their nominating convention. The
Democratic convention will be held at Cin
cinnati, Ohio, on the 22d of June. From
the present outlook, appearance* point
very decidedly to Grant as the fortunate
Richmond at Chicago, and Tilden as the
choice at Cincinnati. We have no doubt
hut these two candidates me the strongest
that either party could put forth, and
should they bo called upon to lead the op
posing forces in the approaching campaign,
we may expect one lively and fraught with
extraordinary interest. We have always
believed that the fraudulent manipulations
which defeated Mr. Tilden from taking his
seat before would be and should be a
prominent factor in the platform upon
which the next battle is to be fought; and
if fraud is to be rebuked, and if a domi
nant party is to rise up in condemnation
of the foul means by which the fruits of
their victory before were destroyed, we be
lieve that Mr. Tilden, who led the party to
victory before, is a lit representative to
unfurl the banner and bear it to success
again. In this view, if it is as has been
suggested, we are in for Mr. Tilden for a
•second term. Of course this is based,
however, on the assumption that Mr. 'l’ll
don can harmonize the two factions in Now
York, and indeed his chances for being the
nominee of the Cincinnati convention will
depend almost entirely on this considera
tion.
ENCI.OKE THE COURTHOUSE.
This being court week, and our Grand
Jury being in session, we trust that they
will take into consideration the propriety
of putting a good, substantial enclosure
around the courthouse. We notice the
body is composed of intelligent gentlemen
•of good, practical judgment, and we doubt
not they will fully appreciate the impor
tance of this subject. Our courthouse and
Public Square are the pride of the North
ern Circuit, and it is a source of gratifica
tion to our people that they have such a
temple of justice located in such a bcauti-
Public Square. Put in order to preserve
the grove surrounding the courthouse, it
ought, by all means, to be enclosed. The
earth is gradually being washed awny from
the trees, and they are dying out. and ere
long our now beautiful Square will be de
prived of the beautiful grove which adds
to it so greatly.
Our county finances, we believe, are in
first-rate condition, and we urge upon the
Grand Jury to fully consider this matter.
If, in their judgment, the financial condi
tion of our county will not justify any
thing like a costly enclosure, then let a
cheaper one be constructed that will com
pare with our financial condition.
We have a beautiful and growing vil
lage, and industries are stimulated and re
•vivirg all over the country. Our people
•arreju ly proud of their beautiful county
site, and are fully alive to the protection of
all their public buildings and grounds.
We therefore believe that the small amount
that the Grand Jury may recommend for
placing a substantial enclosure around the
courthouse could not be more judiciously
expended.
Craving the pardon of the honorable
body for specially calling their attention
■to this important matter, we leave it to
their intelligent action.
THE SAM 1111.1. CASE.
The following editorial, from the Carters
ville F.xpress, expresses our sentiments so
well on the subject that we give it space in
our columns :
After mauy long hours of anxious wait
ing, poor Sain Hill lias heard his doom.
“ Let thejudgment be affirmed,” says the
Supreme Court.
We have carefully read the decision and
must say that wo regard it as an able,
sound and impartial exposition of tho law.
But we have never doubted, and do not
now doubt, that llill ought to have anew
Arial, yea, that lie ought never to have hem
•convicted. By this we mean to cast no
reflection upon either the court or the law,
Lut we do mean to place our condemnation
upon the inhuman fiends who confederated
for the purpose of perverting justice and
■swearing away the liberty and the life of
this man. Hill may have, and doubtless
did. violate the law, but is there no excuse
Tor him? are there no mitigating circum
stances connected with this case? His
wrongs were grievous wrougs—wrongs
which poor human nature is scarcely able
to bear. He did no more than any other
tnaji who loves his wife, and has the manly
courage to protect her. would have done
under the same circumstances. But it is
useless to recount the wrongs which he
has suffered, or to speak of the justification
of his acts. Hill stands to-day a convicted
felon —doomed to a “ living death"—rem
ediless so far as the law is concerned.
But we are glad to know that there is one
thing in Georgia, that is above the techni
calities of the law, and that is the t till of
the people. This case calls loudly for ex
ecutive clemency, and we believe that ere
long Sam Hill will walk forth from prison
a free man.

Nearly every mail brings us newspapers
from nearly every section of the State of

AIJOUSTA had the largest fire it has
had in a number of years last Thursday.
It extended over nearly half a block of
buildings, owned by Hon. Robt. 11. May.
The loss is estimated at $3.V000. Seven
horses and mules were burned in a livery
stable. Augusta’s immunity to fires is
owing in a great measure to the efficiency
of her fire department.
Tiie following paragraph, relating to
Hon. Alexander H. Stephens, is extracted
from the Crawfordville Democrat :
“ Constitutional liberty lias departed.
We all ought knew it, if we do not. With
Mr. Stephens will depart its last relic.
When he is gone we will know him better
for his worth. We mention these things
incidentally to wring in, the conviction in
our mind, that the whole world will rec
ognize the fact that Mr. Stephens will live
as one of the greatest characters in all his
tory.”

Augusta Chronicle & Constitutionalist:
