Isn’t It renvarttoMy strange that both
nf Georgia’s -senators, Colquitt and
’Browne voted dbsAhe confirmation of
John X. Brvant. one'of the most noto
iTtoos scalawags that ever lived in Geor
i|ta and gated against Emory Speer,
who claimed to be only an Independent
Democrat ? Why they have acted thus
"we leave it for them to say, hut to us
much conduct seems very inconsistent
and not at ail in accordance with Dein
•oeratic principles. Sjieer lias l>eeri ap
pointed Judge of the Southern District
•of Georgia.
COMP ROM. I8ISQ WITH Of TENDER*.
A marked feature of our courts dur
log the last score of years has rieen the
Lege number of persons arraigned for
fietty offences. Most of these are
•charged with some of the form* of
larceny. One is indicted for liftii? a
pair of shoes from a merchant's coun¬
ter, another for slipping a sack of flour,
while the eyes of the watcher were
suppos'd to be other ways directed, and
others for subjecting farmers’ pigs to
the more abrupt alternative than
rooting. Numerous as are such cases,
we are persuaded that those recorded
•m the flies of courts are but a small
percentage ol the small thieving that
actually recurs, Very much of it es
capes detection, li dte a-* much per¬
haps, while known is silently endured.
The farmer, who has invested fifty or
one hundred dollars in the crop of a
tenant feels that he can not risk the
loss of it all for the sake of punishing
him for stealing a chicken m a goose,
While fully pursuit led as to who the
rogue is, he pretends not to know.
Farmers endure incalculable inflictions
in tins way. Some of them, however,
detect the thief palpably, and having
proof amply sufficient for conviction
agree to forego a prosecution in consid¬
eration of a promise of labor, This
we think unwise in two particulars.
It insures j very little to the advan¬
tage of the employer because he Is
obliged to furnish the culprit food and
clothing, which is about all lie would
hare to do any way. Then it furnishes
the thief an excuse for depredations
upon others which he is all the more
willing to adopt because of having got
unhurt out ot his that scrape. We do
notlupprove such compromises.They are
Injurious to the community, and where
gr*na jurors xnnw such to liavebeon
made, they should not fail to subject
Miern to an investigation. If the »(>
prehended thief has arrested a prosecu¬
tion by submitting to a sound whip¬
ping, the matter may Iw allowed to
rest. But when it transpires that the
terms of the compromise is a promise
of the offender to perform a few
months lalior for the one upon whom
be has trespassed, with no guarantee
against his trespassing upon others,
the grand jury should set it aside.

Notwithstanding the fact that the
present time is one of great industrial
depression ; and that a careful invest!
gatiou by excellent authority as to tt»e
present situation of the m anufactnr
Ing Industries m many of Hie states
Shows a deer-ase of I t i»r cent, of
woik |wople us compared with the
census year, 188J; yet wiien we investi¬
gate the matter and ascertain the real
cause of this decrease in industrial
lalxir we have no cause to tie alarmed.
Stoppages ofjnills and factories i.i va
rhmsjlhies which is always customary at
certain seasons account for at least one
tenth of the number repotted iille, and
a general reduction of wages varying
from 20 to 2 > per cent, mii 1 in sotn-* in
some instances to .U) per cent, threw
many out of employment, f ie m ils
and factories are being started agon
and a oon.nduratile share of those out
of employment will soon lie busy again,

l^et ns n»w look across the water and
see if wo dw not find quitters still

The course of this mail may be at
tributed to enthusiasm, fanaticism,
hut as a rule men do not perd their
lives without cause.
His conduct, though lawless as it
was, goes to show tha> the industrial
depression in his oountry baa made so¬
cialism an eruptive and destructive
force. Owing to the fact that labor
ln Europe is in such a sr »te of clironic
mu-row at d starvation, socialism is, a
powerful and increasing public opinion,
The landlords of Scotland, have year
after year increase! their rents until
the narrowest verge of living has been
readied and in consequence of which
the tenants are in a state of revol t
against impossible rents. How differ¬
ent Lire condition of things in Arn-tri
ca ! Here socialism lias no root or
growth of con sequence ; here we
have no such class of large landlords as
the Duke of Argyle. and others who
can,and do extort from their tenants all
they make except a bare living ; here
the laws of the land protect and guard
the rights of the many rattier than the
privileges of the few. Hard times in
E urope are chronic, and pinching,
suffering, are the birth curse and in¬
heritance of lalior, but in Ain;rica,
they are only periodical and are gener¬
ally the result of great natural causes
too compr‘henslve to control. Get us
now look at France and s-e the condi¬
tion of the French farmer. His wife
works in the Held witli him, oftener
barefooted than not. lie has no home
comforts, and subsists on the coarsest
food. Wood, in France, being worth
one third of a cent, a pound, his only
fire is from the boughs of Lie trees,
winch he cuts and saves for the pur¬
pose. His ignorance is appalling, he
never reads a newspaper and his farm
usually averages from a quarter of an
acre to four acres. Would not such a
degrading life drive an American farm¬
er ma IV and yet tile Freno'im m is
satisfied, because he knows no better.
In conclusion fellow-countrymen, we
say, awake from your lethargy ; throw
off the m anile of desjiondeiicy and take
courage. Follow your cliossn pursuits
with renewed energy and vigor ; striv H
to overcome the depression now upon
you ; labor faithfully aud zealously to
