Coscfai.rd WtAFOßfi.—The pious ••lift— ioc op of bands” by the Georgia press •gainst the practice of carrying concealed weapons is mostly the flimsiest bosh. The true way to make the practice harmless is the speedy trial and execution of murderers —Bambndge Democrat. Right, good sir. But when this thing of hanging has come to be looked upon as too barbarous for civibaed communities, the next best thing is to denounce or condemn the ■nlawful use of a murderous weapon. Cap ital punishment ia a relic of the past—a diefem. Ibe Utopian period in which enm inats were thus dealt with has gone by. Every coward carries a verdict in bis own pocket, and juties say aasen to it, and even lawyers sanction it in many ways. We pot K strong, because it is true.

In conversation with an old North Carolinian concerning these fields, some wonderful stories were re la tsd of them. They are near enough to the city to be convenient, and near enough to the Cape Fear river to get all the water seeded.

Not because it felt no interest, nor was unobservant of the fact, has Tub Wibkly failed to make mention of the almost general revival Influence manifested among the churches. The reason is, that so patent a fact was too well known to need additional verification through the medium of the press ft is gratifying Indeed to hear of these awakenings It augnrs well for fnw, sobriety, civilization. These visible evidences of the inward workings of the Holy Spirit teach that God has not fnrsaken His people ; —is watching over and protecting them, and will do so jn«t so long as His people pat their trust in and rely upon him. The C'bnrcb ia a power in the land, and firm us a rock. Principalities may fall, yet will it move on ; empires decay, it will not Stop ; wars may deluge the land in blood, yet the efroreh sheds a gentle radiance of peace apen all who seek refngo within her portal* ; famine and pestilence come, bat to God’s people they have no terror. Amid the wreck of empire, the desolation of war, the carnival of disease, the Church ap pears “clear as the moon, bright as the snn, and ns terrible to her euecnies as ar> army with banners.” Unlike human institutions It hat grown with added strength and power and usefulness through the most terrible persecutions. Opposition, which would in evitably have annihilated any human effort, has been rendered abortive to do harm ; lor the Lion of the tribe o( Judah has stretched out His arm and protected His people in every hour of need ; so that in this day, in answer to prayer, he bestows upon them His blessing, causing them to rejoice that the Great Head of the Church is remembering them. There are a great many sinners in the world yet, nevertheless. There always Will he, and soma of them are enrolled on the ehnrcb records, we regret to say. But, still, these revival influences will quicken con science and enkiudle a desire among this class of members to become better men and women. They will create an earnest long ing for n nearer, closer commnnion with the source of all true joy—an impelling force to draw the serious us well as the truly pious nearer to the throny. This is the mission, or rather one of the grand aims of tbs Church. And if those in authority would leave doctrinal issues to settle themselves and unite in a vigorous warfare upon the great enemy of souls, these revivals would not only be af more frequent occurrence, but would also be characterized by greater dis plays of divine power. As it is, however, the spirit of the I’sulmist must be rekindled in the hearts of bis people of this day in the fxbibtorhrw# fits pow«r ia so many cities and town* of the State — "Praise the Lord, O my soul, and all that is within me bless His holy name.” Oar own immediate section has expe rienced no unusual blessing in this regard, but sufficient has beeu seen to offer abundant encouragemeut. Quilts. —It Is gratifying to know that life among our grandmothers ia bright as ever. Here ia what one veneruble matron has done: Mrs. Moore, of this eity. now 79 years old, has mnde 27 log cabin quilts, several of them composed of over 4000 piece*. She bus knit three counterpanes, or bed spreads, cm ordinary knitting needles with No. 40 yarn, and three pairs of ladies’ silk hose. Bbe is still doing woik of this kind, and wishes to know if anybody can excel her.— Rome Courier. How i* Tins?—While the lllainites and other fanatic* are ottering volumes of abuse ngainst Southerners for crowding down the colored people, [t would be well for them to read a little, so as to ascertain the exact truth. For iuatanc*. in Mississippi, liter* are 348 244 pupil* in school—of whom 190,- 088 are colored. How docs this tally with the Northern version? A Shame. —While tbe graves of the Fed eral soldiers at Andersnnville are being en closed by a solid brick wall, those of tbe Confederate dead are tota'ly neglected. Unless something is done, ia a abort while they will be entirely obliterated. W here are tbe blends who would rescue these toaabe from obscurity? -J—IIUUU-II France.— Bide by side with the recovery of her prosperity, France has kept in view the recovery of her military position. Out of a population ttf 37.000.008 about 704 000 men are in tha active army, 540D00 in tbe reserve, 581,8## hi the territorial army, and 625,000 im»lbc territorial reserve—making a total af about 2400,000 men, all of whom hawr'received acme amount of military training. Besides these, there are about 1.330.000 men who, though nominally be longing to the army and liable to serve iu cert in contingencies, have received no train ing. Aga inst these figures tbe Germans have to show in the active army 401.000. in the reaerve 500.000, in the landwehr 580,- 000, and m the landstrnm I.o3o.ooo—mak ing ia all 2 511,000 men who have received some amount of military framing, besides 3 345,000 men who have received do train ing. In cavalry tbe Germans have tbe ad vantage. tbe figures of tha two countries being and 70.000. In artillery tbe numerical advantage is with the French, the 6gures being, for France 2 442 gnus, and for Germany 2,124 guns.

Tub Bar is well represented Griffin Hampton, Jonesboro, Fairburn, Nrwnan. Palmetto and .Senoia send representatives. The lawyers are a jovial set of fellows. Pea Prince, from A mericas, gave us o passing call last week. Mr, Priocd fepre sent* a fine business in Southwest Georgia. He makes a cheering report of the condition of his section. Thi Superior Court has been skirmishing tbe entire week, so far. The old soak cases were left to lie in their beds for another term. Some of them are getting too heavy to lift np out of tbeir nests.

Mr. Editor :—lt has been some lime since yon heard from me, and it will surprise me if you hear anything now. Plums are all killed, but the blackberries art beginning to bloom, and the town darkies are lacking for ward to better time*—in fact, they hnve al ready made a d examination of the black bery crop and passed resolutions as to the general results of the tuture. You can’t hire one of them to do any work now. They are waiting in ambush for the blackberry. I feel sorry far tbe poor berry. The peack crop is killed too dead to tkio, and I am at a loss to know what the Revenue officials will do. It will be bad for them to be idle a whole year. Well, this is a good country—what we cau’t get, wo can do with out ; but tbe Reveuue officers can't get any brandy this year. So much better for tbe Government, as it takes about fSA.OOO per annum to pay officers in this State alone So our Government will be better off by the failure of the fruit crop. But I guess we will have a full crop of lager beer, which will suit a great many who try to keep them selves unspotted from the world. Beer in bottles will no doubt be higher. M cooins. Grand Jury Presentments. April Term Henry Superior Court, 1879 1. We, the Grand Jurors selected and sworn to serve at «ho April Term. 1879. ol Henry Superior Court, beg icuve to make the following presentments, to-wit: 2. As the Graiid Jury at the October Term appointed a Commission of three men to investigate our county matter* generally this body deemed it unnecessary to appoint the usual committee to investigate county matters, and hereto annex tbe report of said commission, tbe same having hev:i approved and adopted by this body, 3 We find the dockets of the Justices of The Peace, so far as presented to us, in the main correct and neatly kept. 4. We find iu aonte portions of the county that our public rasds are not in as good condition aa we would desire, and urge that our commissioners have tbe roads and aatall oh such bridges •• requite them, for tbe •afet f of tbe traveliog public. ft Wo fed that the roof of the jail ia de fective, aod le-k». and recommend that it be repmirsd as early os convenient ; also that the plastering thiooghout tbe Court House be repaired, and more eapeeklly that over head in tbe Clerk’s office. 6 We fed from the rrpert of the eon miasma that our comity he’d* note* or due Gifts on varisos part is» fft tbe lease W fwrmcte, amounting T* $535!!$ which we recommend that our Ordinary col lect by next term of this court, if poairihle ; and wp fn>-i her recommend and insist that oar Ordinary take ao more notea for lease of convicts 7. VVe fed from report of commission that there hew been onlv •6 paid into the coonty tTeesary from jury fees for several years pest, and as this feet did not come to the knowledge of the commission in time to investigate the same and report at this term of tbe cnnrf, this body hereby appoints Messrs. J. S Crockett* J. W. Alexander and A. W. Harper ns a committee to farther investigate this matter of jury ftva and re port theoame at the oaxt term of 'h ; s enrt. 8. W* recommend that Mr. J. B. Me Daniel be reappointed as Notary Pubiie of tbe 423 d District, G M,, to fill vaeaney cous mV by expiration of term ; and tnrther re C' mweod that M . McDonald, J H. Crockett and R H Tomlinson no paid $2 per day for actual services rendered by il.em »s a commission. 9- It is not consistent with the feelings of this body to recommend any pay to coonty < ffiger* for extra services rendered at this term of the eourt. 10. We find the locks on the Clerk’s office and Grand and Petit Jurors’ rooms very de ficient, aid recommend that good and secure locks be placid on paid doors at once. We can bnt express our appreciation here of the material change inaugurated in the Clerk's office. VVe find all disposed of documents neatly labeled and very systematically ar ranged 11. VVe further recommend and insist that in the 'more all court and eonn'y officers shall, on the last day of court ot each term, make u report aiid settlement with the County 'I masurer of all fines and forfeitures, or other moneys received by them ; and after due deliberation, we tnrther recommend ibat oar representative, Hon W. T. Dioken, en deavor lo have a local Act pasted at the uext session of tbe General Assembly au tborizing the election of three commissioners lor this county 12. Before taking leave of the court we tend his Honors, Judges Hillyer and Speer, our thanks for their kindness and polite at tuition toward this body, and commend the able a»d dignified manner in which tbey have discharged their duties. 13 V\ e also tender to the Solicitor Gen eral our acknowledgements for his polite at tuition to this body, aod lor the faithful dis charge of Ins duties 14. We recommend that these present ments be put.fished in The Hurry County Weekly, and that Judge Hillyer be fur nished with a copy of tbe same. D H Ponder, Foreman.

REPORT or TIIE COMMITTEE appointed to investigate THE FINANCIAL CONDITION OF THE BOUNTY. BTC. To the Grand J*ry. April Turn, 4379 Tbe committee appwmted by rbe Grand jAwy of the Fa’l Term, 1878,.t0 investigate the financial condition of tbe county,as well as the accounts and books of the various county officers, makes the following report : We hav« examiryd tbe records of the Clerk’s office of the Su|»etior Court for the last six years and find them neatjy »r.d ci*r reetly kept. So far aa we could discover, all papers were properly recorded. We find two of the deed bootee, to-wit ; "A” ami "B." need rebinding, and recommend that addi tional leaves be placed in the back of deed book “B” when it is rebound, sufficient to enable tbe Clerk to record or transcribe the record of the deeds which were recorded on a small paper-back book, between book ,- B” and “C.” The windows in the Clerk’s effi e need window shades or blinds to protec' the books and papers from the reflection of the sun, as they are being injured Irom thesume. We suggest (bat the Clerk be furnished with a record book, in which to reoetd mortgages and liens, separate from the derds. Th# Clerk needs a desk, properly arranged with pigeon-holes, to enable him to keep his pa pers in proper order. He also needs a table For bis u-e inside the bar during Couft, all of which we suggest be furnished to him. W’e have also examined the records of the Coort of Ordinary fur six years past and find them in a nea' condition and correctly kept, so far as we have been able to discover. The Ordinary has all th record books in his of fice which the law requires him to keep ; but for the convenience aud information of fnture Giand Juries and the people generally, we lespectfully suggest the propriety of the Or dinary’s ke> ping a s* pa rate book for tbe reg istration ol each name of every pauper, and tha* t* also keep a memorandum on said book ol tLe date and ..mount issued to each pt.uptr 3.
