When newspapers arc not called for It Is mad# !;« doty of Postmaster* under the law to notify the proprietor* of this fart. Caids, already print ed, are furnuhed on application totho l’o*tins»tar, whose only duty will be to fill out with the name of the party not yetting the paper. ENDED AT LAST. The trial of Qnitoaii, the coward ly assassin, was ended on W wines day evening by the return of the jury with the verdict—“Ouilti/ an indicted.'' The Jury was out less than an hour. The verdict is one that will meet with the approval of all who have watched tl c progress of the Inal. Wliilo the trial lins in many respects seemed a farce and has sorely tried the patience of a people who had long ago made up the verdict in their minds yet it was necessary, in order that the principles of justice upon which the government was founded should Imj carried out. While the victim ol the murderer was the highest otllcer in the laud, yet he was only a citizen, and the murderer >vns to 1)0 tried as any other murderer. While it is to be hoped that the convicted murderer may receive si>eody punishment, yet it is proba ble that the law’sdclny may prolong Ins miserable life many month A motion lor a new trial will-prob ably be made and an appeal taken from Judge Cox’b decision which case it would go before the Supreme Court for a hearing. lion. S. S. Cox, member of eon gross from New York, expresses himscll sensibly upon the ques tion ol government to the inter- oceanic canal piojcct. He says: “I am opposed to the United States building a canal or guaranteeing jionds or otherwise for the same reasons that I gave in voting against the continental railway. I believe they woo'd become running sores on the body politic, and so they have. I believu business is business, and the government is the government. My philosophy of politics Is to remit all sueh pro jects to private enterprise, which will build where profitable.” WE WON’T ST0I\ Stop that, Qlessner! Now that you have made your home in the Sunny South we must enter our protest against your trying to per suade good Republican farmers to leave this county and settle down there. Of course it its natural that you should try to populate your county with lirst-elass farm ers, but what Republican wnnts to leave the grand old prairie Stale, where his vote will count some thing, and settlo in a Southern Stato where he will become a po litical cipher? We have no ob jection to your trying your per suasive arts on Democrats, but hands oir our Republicans. Wc can not spare any of them from this county; it is too confounded close now, politically, to lie com Portable.— Clinton (III.) Public. N'o, sir, wc are not going to stop until wc persuade every good Re publican and Democrat farmer in the North to "give up working hard nine months out of the year in or der to make enough to live the other three, and cotnc down here where they can find a genial cli mate and a rich reward for their laliors—where they can raise plcn ty to uut and wear and enough surplus cotton to fill their pockets with spending money. As to their politics, we care very little about that, for if they lire Republicans it will take but a short time for them to see that the prejudices upon which their party is built arc un founded, and then they will nat. urnlly fail into the Democratic line. If they are Incorrigible, how. ever, and persist in remaining Re publicans, tliev will find that tln-y can enjoy and express their opin ions us freely ns they can any where, and their vote will count ns much. The farmers of the North will And plenty ol land here at low prices, and find that the cultivation of it will prove profitable. Land is as cheap as in Kansas and Ne braska and the climate much more pleasant. There arc millions of acres of unbroken land in Georgia, and wc want to sen it settled by good enterprising farmers, anil therefore the RrJoaDK.il has enter ed upon the missionary work of persuading Northern farmers to come down into this beautiful land and aid our people in developing its great and varied natural re sources. The public cannot be too thank- ful to tho Kentucky murderer for hanging himself after slaying Ida wife, his two daughters and his aged mother. He has saved the courts the trouble of trying him, and has deprived the sensation- -mongers of a great deal of undcsir able reading. II Uuitcnu had only done something of this kind, there would have been incalculable ad vantage to the community. If murderers generally, sane or in sane, would do as the Kentucky miscreant has done, they would be bcncfuctors to the nation. Senator Brown writes a letter to Col. J. II. Kstill, of the Savannah AVic», in which he denies positively that he has applied to the president to control the patronage of Georgia, or tlmt lie desires to lead or to join the new movement in Georgia. Senator Brown declares that an overwhelming majority of the Democratic parly, ns at present or ganized, is on the progressive line. Ho concludes by censuring those men who would tear down the fail- fabric of Georgia’s progressiveness and Georgia’s prosperity. New manufacturing enterprises arc springing up almost daily in the South. During the present week two additional ones have tioen inaugurated at Chattanooga, Tenu.; one for the manufacture ol plows, with n cash capital ol $75,- 000, and one for the manufacture of stoves, with a capital of $50,000. The necessary capital for l>oth enterprises was secured in a few GEORGIA news. Tile Fence l.nw. A ease has benn decided recently by the Supreme Court, the decision rendered by Associate* Justice M. J. Crawford, involving what it takes to constitute a legal fence. It came up from McDutllc,aiul was Hamilton vs. Howard. Hamilton sued Howard for damages done by a trespass on his slock, which broke through the fence, and failed to re cover. Tho decision is ns follows: 1. The law defines wlmt consti tutes n legal Icnec, ami there is no distinction made ns to the dillerent animals which are likely to enter into an enclosure, making the fence ol one height for one class and another height for another. 2. Neither can the average height of a fenee, too low at some points and too high at others, be la 1 cn to de cide whether it meets the require ment ol the law. II. Nor does the fact that n fence not up to the standard llxed by law will keep out other hogs than that of the plaintiir justify a trespass upon his hogs, even where notice has been first given. 4. To an action for trespass committed upon stock while on the premises ol the de fendant, a setoll'of damages to the crop done by the stock is not maintainable, where the fence such crop was not a legal fence. ?>. Where all the evidence material ton case is not brought up to this court, alleged errors depending upon the evidence cannot bo con sidered. Judgment allirmed.

Colonel Frank Hnrralson, Stale Librarian, is now busily engaged in packing and shipping the nets of the Legislature to the ordinaries county court Judgos and judges of the Superior Courts of tho State and to the librarians of the several States of the Union. Atlanta Conntitulion: The or dinaries of quite a number of the counties of the State, under a mis- apprehosion of the law, have writ ten to the Governor for supplies of vaccine mutter for use in view of the near approach of the scourge, The Governor writes that it is on ly in the case of nil epidemic that he is authorized to distribute the lymph, and that lie has instructed tho State vaccine agent to have ready a large quantity that is fresh and good, so that in case the small pox makes a serious attack upon the State we may be ready to com inenee a stubborn light. The Albany News says thntdur iug the high wind of Saturday af ternoon a whirl-wind struck the log cabin on Mr. Croll Alayo's Huger place, the sole occupant of which was Tom Lee, a negro black smith.

Several gentlemen of Albany having recently left that place for Richmond to attend the Grand Lodge of I. O. B. II., ntil as small pox is raging in Richmond, it is proposed that they be prevented from returning to Albany. A correspondent of the Alacon Trlegrafdi avows that a Methodist preacher in Marion county preach ed to three or four churches one year, spent live hundred dollars in order to get to his church on time, received us pay one pair of liame strings, one bushel of sweet pota toes and two dollars and a half in money.

A 11 artfor-1 (Conn.) mail was de nouncing newspaper advertising to a crowd of listeners. “Last week,” said he, “I had an umbrella stolen from the vestibule of the church. It was a gilt j nnd, valuing it very highly, I spentj double the worth' In advertising but I have not recovered it.” “How did you word the adver tisement ?" asked a merchant. “Here it is,” said tho man, pro ducing a slip cut from TV news paper. The merchant took it and read: “Lost from the vcstihulo of tho church last Sunday evening a black silk umbrella. The gentle man who took it will lie handsomely rewarded by leaving it at San Fernando street.” “Now,” said the merchant, “I am a liberal advertiser and have always found it paid inc well. A great donl depends upon the manner in which an advertisement? is put. Let us try for your umbrella again ami if you do not then acknowledge that advertising pays I will pur chase you a now one.” The merchant then took a slip of paper from his pocket and wrote: “If tho man who was scon to take iin umbrella Irom the vestibule ol the church last Sunday docs not wish to get into trouble ami have a stain cast upon his Chris tian .character which lie values so highly, he will return it to No.— San Fernando street. He is well known.” This duly appeared iu the paper and of the following morning the man wus astonished when lie open ed the front door of his residence. On the porch lay at least a dozen umbrellas ut nil shades nnd sizes that had been thrown in from tho sidewalk, while the front yard was literally paved with umbrellas. Many of them had notes attached to them, saying tlmt they Imd been taken by mistake and begging the loser to keep the little atlair quiet. OPERA HOUSE. Tuesday Evening, January 31st.

Millodgetillo Union ami Recorder. Mr. John A. Cobb, one of the largest and most successful cotton planters iu Sumter county, Geor gia, says: “Cotton seed meal is equal iu value, us a manure, to the best brand of commercial fertili zers, and tlmt as plant lood the seed loses no value whatever by having the oil extracted.” If this is true, (and wo cannot question the truth of any state ment Mr. Cobh might make) there has been heretofore on every plant iition a siimll milieu! wealth wast ed. It is only recently that cotton seed oil mills have been erected iu tho South. Two years ago, there were only 10 mills in thu South; mid now there are about 70. Then, cotton seed were worth $0 a ton; now they are worth about $12 a ton. A ton of seed yields thirty- live gallons of oil. Two years ago the crude cotton seed oil was worth JO cents a gallon; now it is worth 40 cents a gallon, mid when it is lined 50 cents is added to its val ue. These facts go to show how prosperous mid independent our people- may become hy utilizing their immense advantages nnd pro ducing their own supplies. The Liverpool Mercury says that d new solar electric lamp was adopted upon the Northern Kail- wav in France. It is placed in front of the engine, in lieu of the ordinary oil lamp.
