Unreliability or Labor —The labor sys
teDL as it is now managed, is, to say tbe
least olit, very trifling. After awhile we
gurss tbe farmers will huve to black a uig
nei's boots in order to get him to stay on
bis place. It has got to the point where, if
yon tell an employe to do a certain thing he
will do it il he likes, if not he will quit and
go to jour next door neighbor and get em
ployment. We know of several large far
mers who have their crops planted and, for
6ome trifling ofiense, every negro ou tbe
p'uce has left it, and said farmers are now
without any help whatever. This isau ugly
•tate ol affairs. Here is woik for the leg
isiatois.— Dawson Journal.
The most effective manner of dealing with
tbe colored man and brother is to let him
understand at tbe outset that be is expected
to prove tbe truth of the adage, that tbe la
borer is expected to prove worthy of his
hire. If be sees tbe employer is in earnest
be will come nearer doing bis duty than if
be finds be eau do as be pleases. WheD an
order is given with unequivocal earnestness,
tbe effect is salutary ; but when be discovers
that tbe “buekra roan” is afraid ot him, or is
ia the least timid, there is do doiDg anything
with him at all.
“Woobmak, Sfarb,” ktc. The good
citizens of Atlanta are in a perfect muddle

utter exterminating, and some are for letting
it remain. One party declares that its shade

vention of sickness ; tbe other, that it gen
erates ail sorts of diseases, sad is productive
of evil. Tbe q nest ion is a local one, bnt a

School Books.
Prom present indications it is evident that
certain Northern publishers are resolved to
make a tremendous fight, towards forcing
their books into the schools of the South.
Tbe Northern bookseller has money. He
can crowd the market with his pnblicatior.s.
There he has the advantage of the Southern
publisher. The bookseller here off-sets this
difference by printing books equally as good,
and certainly much better sui'ed to Southern
tastes. Those books that come from the
Northern houses, or from the great publish
ing shops of New England, often contain
matter which the Southern student shou'd
not read. There is in many of them selec
tions from tbe speeches dT men whose lives
were spent in abusing and misrepresenting
the South and her institntions. Yet, not
withstanding this, agents flock down here,
visit every town, go to every cross road, and
posh their books before the public in every
imaginable way.
An instance occurred lately in Augusta.
Sterling’s Series has for some years been
used iu the public schools of Richmond
county. This series of books is the brain
work of a Southern man; they bear the
imprimatur of a Southern publishing house ;
they have been indorsed by many of the
moat intelligent men and ripest scholars of
the South ; and no book ever met with such
hearty reception from yoong people. But
for some reason the Superintendent of Publ : c
Schools of Richmond has become prejudiced
again°t these books. Then a warm contest
ensued. Several publishers, or their agents,
then wpnt to Augusta. The Board met, de
liberated, and concluded to continue the use
of Sterling—a wise conclusion.
But this case is one of the straws which
indicates whnt is being done in this direction.
It is certainly very poor encouragement for
Southern men to venture io the publishing
business, if their bonks are liable to be
thrown ont and others snbstitnted; and
while we do not write in the interests of any
individual, justice requires that when a
Southern man prints a hook, at great ex
pense, and it meets the wants or needs of our
children, and is moreover indorsed hy our
best men. it should not be summarily thrown
out and its use discontinued.
The Sterling Series are as good as the
best. The children like them. There are
no oltra dogmatisms or fanatical heresies
there to corrupt the mind. They are just
suited to us, in every partirular, and we are
glad they won tbe fight in Augusta.
So much for Southern enterprise.
Abundant Supplies. —The event alluded
to bos passed, but we print it to show how
the people in and around Tliomasville man
age affairs when they go into a thing of this
sort. That section is a glorious one. and
they do indeed feast on the fat of the land.
Says tbe Thomasville 'limes:
The proposition to have a barbecue on
the 10th developed the gratifying fact that
supplies are abundant in the country. Forty
thousand persons, more ar less, have been to
see Colonel McGlushan for tbe purpose of
selling beeves, mutton, hogs, divers and
sundry and other things suitable for a bar
becue, while one man voluntarily offered his
entire flock of goats, consisting of one, as a
square out und out donation There’s life
in the old land yet, and with favoiuble sea
sons and a little revival of business the
country will flourish.
Trial or Casks. — It is evident that the
condition of most Superior Court dockets in
the State is rousing tbe people, the Bar in
cluded, to some measure of relief. The Rich
mond lawyers have been in council, and we
give below the result of their deliberations:
Re solved, That we will uphold the hand®
of the Judge in ao earnest effort to finish the
business ot the term, and hereby request him
to continue the court till all parties are given
a fair opportunity for the trial of their cases.
Resolved, That tbe Judge be requested to
sound tbe doeket at some early day, for tbe
purpose of assigning cases for trial, and for
continuing those not ready, as a means of
facilitating tbe dispatch of business.
A Pronounced Platform. —We are cm®
phatically in favor of taking the tax oft of
quinine, putting a tax on dogs and embody
ing in the orgauic law of the Stale a clause
prohibiting the manufacture und sale of in
toxicating liquors in Georgia. —Sandersville
Coui ier.
Brother Courier, we are with you heart
and soul, so far as tbe second plank in your
platform is concerned. As for the first and
last, they must be worked out by means that
must be justified by the results attained;
but we will work everlastingly to save
“Mary's little lantb.”
The Coming Session. —The near approach
of the session of tbe Legislature is arousiug
those who have axe9 to grind. Local bills
will be plenty ; the Code will be overhauled
and temodeled, and much work will be done.
It will be an important session, and will tend
to the weal or woe of the State, as tbe Leg
islature is wise or the contrary.
The Atlanta Dispatch is mailed on ail
evening trains leaving Atlanta, aod reaches
nearly every section of the State tbe day ol
publication. During tbe session ef tbe
Legislature the Dispatch will coutaiu full
proceeding.® of that body, and will be mailed
within one hour after its adjournment. Sub
scription 66 cents a month; $1 50 for three
months ; 83 00 (or six mouths; 86 00 a

End of the Hill-Simmons Case.
Some three or foor months ago. in Atlanta,
Sam Hill killed John Simmons, urging in
justification of the act that Simmons had in
vaded the sanctitv of his home and robbed
his wife of her virtue, etc. The ea«e c >me
np for trial about 'wo weeks since, and after
a foil hearing, and a long and tedious argu
ment on hoth sides, resulted in the convic
lion of Hill, on Tuesday last, of the crime of
murder. The closing scene of the trial is
thns dpseribed by the Atlanta Dispatch .-
The verdict of the jury in the Hill Rim
mons case, as rendered last night, was a com
pletp surprise to Atlanta—a surprise to the
counsel, and evpn to Simmons’ friends* A
reporter of the Dispatch, circulating around
this morning, found the subject engrossing
the conversation of every curbstone group.
It formed t lie topic of break fast-table gossip,
and merehants. clerks and mechanics seem
to have lorgotte i business m their intent in
the matter. We fonrid some who considered
the verdict a righteous one, and that i* whs
a triumph over “sentiment and false chival
ry.” On the other band, it was claimed hy
no small handful of people that Hill sbepld
have been acquitted, and are severe in tbeir
criticism of the action of the prosecution.
Others insist that inasmuch as Hill had
been informed of the intimacy of bis wife
with other men than Simmons —inasmuch as
the reports left him no reason to impute to
the deceased the sole cause of his domestic
trouble—inasmuch as the conduct of his wife
wig proof of an indi-criminate wantonness
inconsistent with tbe idea of seduction—his
killing of Simmons had not the justification
of men who take ibe law into their own
hands to punish those who invade tbe sanc
tity and defile the parity of their homes
Tliey also s»y the law does not recognize
any sentiment in such cases, and it was the
duty of the Judge to expound the law only
to the jury; that the common practice ol
aequitul fur the killing ol seducers is at
tributable to the feeling of American juries,
and not to the charges of tbe courts.
We simply present these expressed opin
ions to show the manner in which the ver
diet was received. That the result of the
trial was n complete surprise to all is pat
ent ; whether it was right or wrong we leave
the public to draw their own conclusions.
(Jen. Gortrell, in bis speech for tbe de
fense yesterday, clearly and ably defined the
law bearing on the case. He made one of
the best speeches of his life, and it in it*elf
was enough to clear any man ; but the charge
of the court, which was elaborate, and the
speech of the Solicitor-General ringing in
their ears, the jury evidently lost sight of
the defense, and hurriully gave their v>r
dict.
The prisoner received tbe news with a
calm resignation. He seemed to have given
up all hope when the charge was made to
the jury, and when the Solicitor read the
verdict, scarcely a muscle of his hard-set
features relaxed. His wife, hardly compre
hending what the verdict meant, reached up
and kissed him. Evidently she did not re
al:ze the fill! force of the verdict. It would
be strangely inconsisient that this woman, ex
pressing her deep penitence and contrition,
and clinging to her husband throughout the
trial apparently wilh nil the love and affec
tion a wile cun bestow upon a husband,
should, at that moment, when he was ordered
away from Iter presence forever, feel indiffer
ent or exhibit an emotion of pleasure.
Her strange conduct when the verdict wns
announced is accounted for in the lact that
just before the jury returned, she was advised
by counsel to make no demonstration, no
matter what the verdict should be, ami all
she could do at that supreme moment was to
kiss her husband und smile, knowing Dot
what else to do.
A motion will be made for a new trial,
and il refused tbe ease will be taken to the
Supreme Court. The principle involved is
an important one, Hnd needs a complete set
tlement at the hands of our highest court.
FROM OUR CORRESPONDENTS.
fleifibbarltood Notes.
Mr. Editor: —An impulse ptomp's me to
send you a farmer’s letter from this seetion
of our county, and while everybody is prais
ing their friends and neighborhood, you. 1
know, will excuse us for blowing our own
born a little. It is true we haven’t much to
brag on, but we will go « nickel ou our ytar’s
work that we have the best crops, the best
farmer? and the prettiest git Is and liandsofn
est boys in tbe county, with the exception of
“Fitch” Alexander, who will persist in grow
ing uglier every day.
Messrs. Payne, Win. Alexander, Coleman
Tarpley, and others of our thriving farmer
friends, ore boasting of finp crops. They are
energetic tillers of tbe soil, and tbe result of
their work is an exhibit of corn and cotton

Mr. W. E. Alexander is erecting a nice
and commodious dwelling, which will be an
ornament to our neigbbood when completed
The job is under tbe management of Capt.
Floyd, who will see to it that everything is
done up “according to Hoyle.”
The wheat crop in this section has been
threshed and everybody seems to be satisfied
with the yield. Mr. W. E Alexander, on
one and one-half acres, made the amount of
44 bushels, which was as fine yield as we
have heard of in the county.
The fishing frolic on last Saturday even
ing at Carmichael’s mills was quite an en
joyable affair. Tbe profits on the investment
were small, but tbe proceeds of fun amply
compensated the crowd for their attendance.
Professor Aiken ha 9 closed bis school lor
a two week’s vacation. He will open again
on the 30 inst.. with a good school, judging
from the popularity which has attended bis
enterprise.
For several seasons a complaint has ex
isted among our larn.ers at tbe expense
which attcode the weighing of tbeir cotton,
ami they are thinking of forming a combina
tion for tbe purple of carrying tbeir cotton
to a market where it will be weighed with
out charge. Jonesboro is tbe most available
point under discussion at present, as her
merchants and warehousemen have hereto
fore purchased cotton wilhont making a de
duction for weighing. In tbe future we will
have more to sav on this snbjeet. For the
present allow os to say adieu. XY. Z.

John M. Thurman's Letter.
Air- Editor: —Some time ago, jnst how
long I don’t exactly remember, there ap
peared a paragraph, in “A Voice from Tus
sahaw,” something like this : "If Bro. X,
our reformer, and Bro. J. L. Adams, of Oak
Lawn, don’t cease to be so demonstrative
we will have to dub our excellent Weekly
Baptist,” etc.
Now, this is strange language to come
from a Congregational Methodi-t preacher
—especially when we couple it with a sen
tence in a preceding paragraph, which reads
thus: "Some of us. however, rejoice that
there are not so many mill-house dunces as
formerly.”
We bad thought all tbe while that Con
gregationalism meant, that each congrega
tion regulate its own affairs as an t ndepend
ent body, but it seem® in this we were mis
taken, for Brq, Thurman is not willing for
I he Weekly to pub ish wbat “Bro. X. and
Bro. J L. Adams’’ has to say, and if it does,
it runs the risk of being “dubbed Baptist,”
and that, too. notwithstanding The Weekly
is not responsible, in any manner whatever,
for what either -‘Bro. X or Bro. J L. Ad
ams” may have said—all of which leads us
to conclude that Bro. Thurman is in tbe
wrong pew as a Congregationalism Better
go back to tbe old Episcopal method, Bro.
T , where tbe clergy role, and put a stop to
Bro. "X” and Bro. J. L. Adams’ demonstra
tions, as well as to “mill-house dances ”
We bad thought, from wbat we have
heard of Bro. Thurman, that be was too far
advanced in Bible knowledge to use such a
meaningless terminology as calling The
Wkvki.Y ‘’Baptist for he surely knows, oi
ought to know, that, script'irally speaking,
The Weeklt must be a baptizer before be
ing justly and properly liab'e to the epithet
of Baptist, arid fhia it Cho never literally be.
‘ A word to the wise is sufficient.”
Without any unkind feelings towards Bro.
Thurman, I am J. L Adams.

Mr. Editor :—We are dry—l mean the
weal her is dry ; of course you con'd not
misconstrue tbe remark. I ean’t remember
exactly when we had a good rain, but it has
been fully a month. A rain is decidedly in
order ; yes, a regular lightwood-knot-floater.
Next week is Commencement, and the
school girls and their mammas are quite
bnsy arranging dresses wi'h flounces, dresses
with trails, and dresses with other fixings '
that your correspondent knows not the name
of. The Commencement sermon will he
preached by Rev J E Evans, (whom Grif
fin loves ) on Sunday morning next, and on
donduy the examination of several classes
in the F* male College begins. Wednesday
is Commencetrv nt day, and Wednesday night
there will be presented at the Op'-ra House
Mrs Nibs’ new and beautiful drama, “The
Banner of St. Claire,” which, it is generally
believed, wifi be a success beyond all ques
tion. as will be the entire Commencement
exercises. You and your friends must come
down and see for yourselves.
Since thp departure of the recetdiy en
camped military—
Some of our ladies are sighing.
Ami some of them almost crying ;
Some on their love’s return relying—
In thought, some are swiftly flying
To the bosom of their soldi- r Romeo.
Romp, maybe, stoutly denying
Cnpid, in his pranks and prying,
Touched them to timidity complying ;
But Httle matters this denying
When the youthlul love-tide does ebb and
flow.
While I think of it, I will ask that you
tell me what is Atlanta doing about that
new Capitol? 1 am not gening many of
the papers, so am behind with the news, you
see. I thought if they were going to lay
the corner-stone about the “glorious fourth,’’
I’d go up and see the boys at that time.
Suppose they’ll he ready then?
The city now has quite a number of vis
itors. but not being well posted, am not able
to give their names.
The closing exercises of Miss Porter’s
High School will come off next week, and
promises to be Inlly as interesting as usual.
She will give, on Friday evening, a concert,
at which time a beautiful operetta will be
rendered by her school.
Business is remarkably dull,dost plentiful,
and the thermometer 89 in the shade.

c ‘llis Satanic Majesty” Review
ed.
Mr Editor:—V lease allow me space *o
a?k “Zuph” a few questions concerning his
“B'hle view of the Devil.” as he seems to
have work r d nut th" riddle at least to the
satisfaction of hi® (or her) mind. But lam
not so certain and confident of thp matter,
notwithstaudmg I have read. a>d vet don’t
“understand.” When nr n hnild theories,
and pspecT dlv Bible theories, thev nm®t first
of all be careful 'o have a well-laid founda
tion, or else the stinctnre thereon erected
will fall down when the storms come.
Now, hea" ‘ Zuph” : “Whilst onr fore
parents were basking in the sunshine of their
terrestia! paradise, and enjoving the loveli
ness and purity of Hod’s beneficence thinking
only of bliss and endless happiness etc.
Now, how could our forrparents think of
endles® hnpp'mess when as yet they had no
knowledge of time; for they had not yet
eaten of the “tree of the knowledse nl good
and evil.” Mark ye, Mr. ‘ Zuph ” it doesn’t
sav, “the tree of good and evil.” but of tbe
‘ knosrledge of good and evil ” It, then, 'hpv
knew nothing of “good and evil.” how could
they know anything of an “endless happi
ness,” or how could they be happv, when
they had no knowledge of the good? It i.®
by contrast that we know the good from the
bad.
But again “Now, it seems that the ser
pent beguiled woman; —the common snake
that crawl® upon his brea t to-day, and
lives upon dust in i's varied forms—was the
great destroyer of the happi»e«s of mankind,”
etc. "'The urea* destro * r of the happiness
of mankind.” indeed !—when mankind knew
nothing of hupp ness, evil or death ! But
• Zuph” says it is “the common snake that
crawl® upon his breast to-day that destroyed
tbe happiness of mankind, and received the
curse from the Almighty.” The question
recurs again : Which one of the many dif
ferent species of-common snakes that crawls
upon his br> »®t to day, that was cursed by
the Almigh'v.” for there are hundreds of
them ? If ‘ Zuph” can answer this question
by pointing out the purticnW common
snake that was enrsed bv the Almighty, we
will begin to have a lit lie more confi ’ence
in the “snake story but nntil he does this
we mast be excused for questioning the
truthfulness of his conclusions.
••Znph” evidently saw be was getting into
deep water while fishing up bis snakeship.
and so, like all men in trouble, he jumps
Irani the trying-pan into the kettle by leap- I
tng from Genesis to Revelations. And here
it is : ‘'And the great dragon was cast onf,
that old sei pent, called the Devil, nad .Satan!
which deceiveth the whole world; he was
cast out into the earth, and his angels were '
cast out with him:” Rev. xii: 9 Now,!
“Zuph,” read the following vers*, and see!
what happened when this -great d ngou, that :
old serpen', (common snake, you say .) called
the I) vil, and Satan. wa- cast out' in'o the
earth:’' “Now is com*sa/wlton, and strength,
and the kingdom ut our God. ai d tiie power
ol his Christ ; lor the accuser ol our tueib
ren is cast dowD, winch accused tb<-m before
our God day and night.” Yes, sir, this was
what the loud voice iu heaven said, when the
“old dragon, called tbe Devil, and cSulaa.
was cast out into tbe earth.”
But ‘ Zuph” says, iu ins “Bible view” ol
this old serpent, that when he was cast ont
into the earth he entered into the common
snake, (chapter and verse, please.) and "wil
fully. designedly and maliciously deceived
the women, and destroyed the happiness of
mankind !I” The Bible says that when the
oM serpent was cast out into tbe earth inero
was a loud voice in heaven, saying, “Now
i 9 come pa'vation, and strength, and the
kingdom of our God, and tbe power of his
Christ.” . .
If ihis i« destruction to human happiness,
O. mv God. let it come. And I tell yon,
“Zoph.” there will be a shoot in heaven
when that old Beast, the Roman Catholic
Chnrcb, and all her numerous family or
daughters, are cast down. Then the power
of Crist will come. Preochers and teachers
will then no longer stand up before God and
all the earth, dealing ont tbeir foolish opin
ions for a "Thus saith the Lord.” and en
forcing human-made commandments for the
d ctrines of our God and bis Christ.
O. ‘ Zaph,” draw vour sword—the °wnrd
ol the Spir t. which is the word of God—
and help to cast down that old serpent, the
great dfagon. that sit* over yonder on the
seven bills of Rome ; that once wielded the
sword ol 'he Caesars, and made all the na
tions bow to her commands and authority,
and made them “drunk with the wine of her
fornications ’’ But the sword—temporal
power—has been taken away from her, and
to day she is falling, and the time will sooo
come when the shout will go up, “The
kingdoms of’ this eaith have become the
kingdoms ol Our Lord, and bis Christ, and
he shall reign." Zip.
