It is thoturtom *u tho eonMies of Geor *;i;, t.» have tho hive the Grand Juiy pre:ect:ne,c*s publisbrJ (and paid f>r)iu some paper of '-he county in vhVh the Jury eat. Ia tbe past this h is lx an the custom cf Taliaferro county The lust Grand Jury broke this custom by rtc oimaeadiaK that tu* publish them for nothing, AVI this been tlit* custom or rule w* would g' -.dy have done so, but wheie we sea tbe .ulo broken in ono particular instance, and that in referenpo to our- 8»dv*‘s wo na'ura’ly feel ft little soru that we should l>« a target for that exception We understand and from unquestionable sonress that tilt* wfts the work of jurors whose politics! koii»f is different from timt of the Advocate that theso jurors knowing that, if it was brought to strict full vote they would be out vjted, decided that, ss their organ could not get the pre sentmonts the organ of oppcsRo party would no get any pay for publishing them. This point was carried by bring¬ ing up and disposing of the matter when a majority of poputst jurors were not pr« s ent and tho** who woro present, not wisbljgto bviug About a cou teat ion, of¬ fered no scrios oDpositiou. Tr -«y did not wish to use their power to arums unity #pitit over a little pcouuiary matter.

We assert that each is cot tbo fact. and if we judge its position by its past utter ena-s the record wiU sustsui us, Recently wo asserted that the Herald Journal teemed to fear slaying from party mere than it feared to follow the truth iu tha path of Justice and common sauso. By this wo meant that it was afraid to declare for the ratio of l'j to 1, and we said that it kept the ratio gap down ready to follow back to the gold bug leaders when n high and ruinous (for silver] rat*o was adopted. Previous to it* last issue, the Ilorald' Journal had uot declared for the ratio 1C to 1. This was not surprising when wo re-. member that it advocated only the d#> tunniis of the C ! cago platform, aud not onn of those demands call for tho ratio of 13 to 1. Jn ths Ucrald-Jo'irnal of June 23d an article from the Savannah Evening Presi is indorsed as the sentiment of tho norald-Joarim!. Tho gist of which arti¬ cle ia in favor of an increased ratio. In it* iiMio ef July 7ih the Herald*Journal speaks for a ratio', ed on int.riuslc val tie. What plainer in Re Issue of July 7th ths Derald-Jotirnnl speaks for a ratio bas¬ ed on intrinsic value, 11 hat plainer stand against the ratio of IC (0 1 oouid be taksu. In a rtccut article "As To Finance' our tatceuied coiitcmpnrary holds lhst tbe bullion in either coin should bo worth 100 cents to the dollar. Every ono know that tho bullion In tho silver dollar sells for at least a third less than ICO cents. •J -* -4> o lhe Herald-Journal says that sines it would cost tho government so many mil lion to make the change in the ratio it would oppose St. But in the samo article to vyLicli tve refere 1 above If bolda: “If nscessary to establish a new ratio for sil¬ ver to meet the demands of the hi metal ist? all outstanding silver coin cither fraction¬ al or dollar coins, should be called In aud redeemed in like coin, of the new ratio of vulua, which should apply also in the coinage of fractional cumuicy-" Judgibg troru tl.evo views aqd others of lika impelt v/cio we not right In caying that the Herald-Journal did not advocate the 1C to 1 ratio?
