A letter from Leesburg, Lee
y
contains this paragraph:
Judge Crisp is decidedly the fa
vorite in this community for Con
gress. The grand Jury upon being
polled stood 1!) for Crisp nnd 4 for
Cook.
• It strikes us that if Judge Crisp
desires to leave tbc high and hon
orable position be now enjoys for
that of congressman, it would be
highly proper for him to forward
bis resignation to the governor be
fore polling the grand juries of his
circuit as to their political prefer
ences. The real canvass of a Dem
ocratic Congressman from Georgia
occurs before the nomination—the
election following as a matter of
course. The power of a judge over
grand and petit juries, lawyers,
court officials and clientngc gener
ally is grossly misdirected, when
employed as an agency for politi
cal preferment. It was a step
backwards when Liu: lute constitu
tional convention threw the elec
tion of judges into the bunds of the
Legislature. If the judges them-
solves shall step further back and
drug the judicial ermine amid the
dirt of the political arena, the hon
ors of professional life will remain
to those only, who shall lie most
apt in pandering to popillar ca
prices or ^prejudices Moron Tele-
yrajih.
Don't lie in a hurry, Bro. La
mar. The people of this judicial
district arc too well pleased with
Judge Crisp on the bench to wish
him to resign. While many of our
people would like to see him go to
Congress, none of them would like
to see him leuve the bench
iiiul not gel the nomination.
Give us a little time Mr. Teleyruph,
and when we make up our minds
to send Judge Crisp to Congress
it will be time enough for him to
resign. In tile meantime, while we
are making up onr minds, let the
Judge continue to dispense justice
in his usual able and urbane man-
The Millcdguville Heconler says
“if there is any doubt, as to the le
gality of electing the 10th con-
gressmau to which Georgia is enti
tled by a vote of tiic whole state,
tile Legislature should be conven
ed in extra session. Jl will not do
to trust our representation in Con
gress to mi uncertainty. Thu Re
publicans may have the majority
and the country knows how un
scrupulous that party is. Georgia
cast her vote for Hancock on the
wrong day, nnd if New York had
gone for Ilnncock lie would have
been elected with the vote of Geor
gia and defeated without it. There
might have been a repetitian of the
Hayes swindle, provided the Dem
ocrats wpuld submit a second time
to such treatment, ora row. These
contingencies should be provided
against- It may lx* inconvenient
lor some of the members to attend
an extra session of the Legislature,
bnt private convenience should
yield to tlie public good”. ’

On Saturday night an aged
tratnp, while crossing the trestle
of the river bridge was knocked off
by the down coming train, and
spent the entire-night in the water.
He appeared on our streets the
next morning and was indeed an
object ot pity. Ho states that lie
thought Ilia doom had eoiue and
prayed to God for mercy which lie
felt sure bad been given him. Af
ter falling lie, was afraid to move
for fear lie would -get into deeper
water and be drowned. The fall
was about fifty - feet and it was
almost a miracle that lie was not
killed. The old man was perhaps
three score and ten and remarkably
intelligent.—Montezuma Weekly.
