The press and the people throughout the

Anderson Intelligencer.
The North Georgia Citizen says : Like
Dr. Felton, Judge Twiggs, the Independ
ent for Congress in the Eighth district, is
very severe in his denunciations of organ
ized Democracy. Os course, and very
naturally the Radicals- are hurrahing for
him whenever he speaks.
Th# following from ti e Madisonian

declares eternal hostility to the revenue
officers, yet every revenue oflicer in the

Every day we hear of men changing
from Speer to Candler in this county, nud
by the time the election conics off there
will be a handsome majority for the noble
Col. Candler. Two years ago Habersham

people having found that he is not the man
they took him to he they have turned their
backs on him.—CZarX’swTfc Advertiser.

The Conyers Weekly, an Independent
paper and strong supporter of Gen. Gar
trell. has this to snv : “Judge I wiggs, an
alleged Deniocrntie candidate for Congress
in the Bth, will be the worst defeated can
didate in the State, and he should be.
The only possible excuse that he can oiler
for his candidacy is a thirst for that which
he cannot, for lack of qnalitications. ob
tain inside of the organized ranks—office.
Mr. Reese received the nomination fairly,
and should receive the undivided support
of the parly.” »
It appears that Judge Twiggs as a Legis
lator and Judge Twiggs as a mere politi
cian are not exactly consistent. When
| the Judge had an excellent opportunity
for reform he was silent. His present
vociferous appeal is nothing but the clap
trap of the stump orator whois desperately
hard run for catchpenny and illogical
! pretexts—such as may tickle the ears of
the unthinking multitude, but cannot fad
'to‘ o> ke ihe judicious grieve." But what
I else could be expected of a man who. I
when his party and people most need unity. |
rebels against organization and becomes a |
1 busy marplot, without the remotest chance j
l of success except by the votes and conn- |
' tenance of th* common enemy. We are
i sorry to see a man so gifted as Judge
I Twiggs commit “a suicide where more
than blood is spilt."— Augusta Chronicle. I
A Georgia man says he would never
convict a man on circumstantial evidence
, because of an event which happened to
himself when he was a boy. He had a
quarrel with a schoolmate, said he would
* kill him and in spite of the persuasions of
' his chum, seized a pistol and was soon on
his comrade's track. He came up with
; him and was about to fire when another
- pistol was discharged and his victim fell.
“ Annoyed and confounded,” he says, “at
sMuug another man kill him, he rushed to
the spot and bent over the lifeless body,
his ow n piste! still in hand, when a police
officer appeared and arrested him. One
barrel of the pistol he had was empty; all
the others were loaded. Thus the evidence
was conclusive, and after sentence had
been passed on the innocent man the real
culprit on his dying bed confessed his
guilt.” Yet it is hard to see how he was
•• an innocent man,’’ and how, if he had
been hung, substantial injustice would
have been done. For, accordiivg to his
own statement, he was only prevented
from murder by the accident of another
man committing the crime he was about to
commit, and was “annoyed ” at the inter
ference.—-Detroit Free Dress.
