during suoft we4th|||f as dfe now have, is bad
htfihftei up in committee
Looms ongnged In dissecting Ihf Code, in
mending old laws or manufacturing new
ones, is simply intolerable.
In looking oVPf the proceedings as report
ed in the Atlanta papers, one fact is appa
rent—viz-: permnnency in law is not to be
ffioked for. *f m imnnrnai
principle must of comae remain unchanged,
the mode of its appf cation is reversed as
often as the moon waxes and wanes. For
instance The Code of Georgia was printed
ut a cost of many thousands of dollars. It
Was gorten up with great care, and after
immense labor and research, by a number
of the best legal minds of the State. It
Was published hs a complete enumeration of
the law, as enact'd by authority ; and it
Was to be presumed that so correct a eodiff
I Cation would remain intact for a few years
| at least. But mark, at the very next session
of the legislature sundry amendments were
j sought to be madb Uierelo. Attempts were
made at that arid subsequent sessions to
hack, liew, cot and mutilate the Code In
I such a mereiless style as to render its recog
nition, even by the codifiers, almost impossi-
I bto. ' v » i*o •„
Other iostaoees tills sort could be ad
duced to show that There it danger of in
flicting serious harm by what is too often
hasty or inconsiderate legislation. We say
hasty, because many of the bills introduced
are of sudden birth in tl>e bfain of menders;
—incor.sidernte, because the new laws are
often ill-advised, and do not meet the re
quirements of the ease.
Again. It was expected—at least by the
masses—that Under the new Constitution
the necessity of such unbounded enactmen's
would not arise ; and yet it would seem Unit
the increase is fearful. Hence, to be a law
maker io this d y and time is about on a
par with digging coal, splitting rails, or
shoveling gravel, so (hr as relates to the ad-
Vuncemeat of the people's interest—if we
may judge of the qualifications of the present
body of law-makers by the character ot the
work they have done. It ia worse, because
neither of these useful occupations require
the expenditure of any greatumount of braiu
work. A rail more or less, or a pouud of
coal, or a shovel of dirt, would not be likely
to affect the interests of whole communities,
or iu any way change I heir statu*.
We repeut what was said on a former
occasion on this subject—iimi there is
entirely too much law ; and now to increase
the amount in thego solstice days makes us
groan iu spirit for our sweltering law
makers.
In this connection we take pleasure in
stating that cur immediate representatives
are entirely free from the above aspersions.
Their course has been sensihle from the first.
When they had anything to say, they have
spoken briefly and to the point, without
wasteing any time in senseless parleying or
meaningless discussion ; and we are decidedly
of opinion that the people’s interests would
be mnch more effectively subserved if other
members of that distinguished body would
puttern after them.
Gkk. Cobb. —From a letter written by
“H. 11. J." to his paper, we take the fol
lowing. It is a source of profound regret
that the grave of one who so nobly illustrat
ed his State should be so neglected. The
letter is from Athens :
Here repose, beneath the foundation stone
of what was designated 1o be a collossal
monument to General Howeil Cobb, the
mortal remains of that astute statesman
gallant soldier, pure patriot and representa
tive Georgian, ltut years have rolled away,
and still the dust of the illustrious dead re
mains, with not even the simplest tablet to
preserve it from oblivion. We heard it
stated that the family of the deceased intend
ed, when able, to erect a suitable monument
to the memory of their distinguished kins
man.
But the State should not suffer this to be
tjune bj’ ihe stricken relatives, who, in com
mon with every lojal Southron, lost well
nigh their all by the collapse of the Confed
eracy.
Georgia should undertake the mournful
yet pieusing task of rearing a column w hich
will cudure all through the cycles of time io
honor of her favorite son. who filled so nobly
• and well almost every office in toe giit of the
i Commonwealth.
A Radical’s OrisituN or the Negro
The following is taken from that stalwurt
sheet, the Lamars (Iowa) Sentinel, and may
be received as the seutiment of that section :
While the amiable idiocy that prevailed
in Congress during the reconstruction days

He was invested with ibe ballot on the

It was given him on the sehooLgirl no

him bis freedom would make him its per
petual instrument.

The W mSfcTCTatter A writer In
the Allauta Gazelle has the following sensi
bla remaiks upon the wild land question :
“The wild fund question has been an un
mitigated nnisance for years, and the Crmiti-
Intion clearly points out the true offenders
viz : the speculators who held these bonds'
and who would not pay their taxes. In their
, rage at being forced to pay their honest
duck, some of the«e speculators have attemp
ted to becloud the character of Comptroller
tjeneral Goldsmith. They have failed ut
terly. The Comptroller has been investiga
ted time and again by the legislative com
mittr-e*, and every committee lias reported
that office is a model, and that his adminis
tration is abfeolotely without blemj-h. While
majority and minority report? h»Ve been
made in this matter touching rfie legality of
the transfers, both reports most heartily
endorse Comptroller Goldsmith, and place
him high above even the reach of insinua
tion. I think the duty of the Legislature is
comprised in one sentence—make those men
who own the wild lands pay their taxes just
as other honest people do. I'ben we shall
huve oo trouble.”
Bad Condition.—A writer in the Macon
7 ekgrnp/i says:
The city of Macon is to-day ot the mercy
of any drunken fiend who Chooses to make
himself conspicuous and can defy police and
everybody else.
Tnis is certainly a deplorable condition
for that beautiful city to be in. If the
declaration, is justified by the (acts, it »
time something was done to meod matters
there.
Pic-Nic at Walnut Creek.
Mr. Editor Thursday last quite a large !
party met by invitation at Walnut Creek
bridge, near David Copeland's, to a basket
pic-nic, and to partake of a superabundance
of nice, large fish taken from the river.
When we arrived at the appointed place,
from the number of ladies and gentlemen,
both married and unmarried, who were scat
tered around in crowds and pairs under the
fine old fhode trees, upon the green carpet of
gra-s and moss, We knew at once that one of
the old-fashioned plensatable oceus ons was
in store for us. Tbc first thing necessary t«
our enjoyment was a visit to the clear, cold
spring, whose limpid water sparkled over the
pebbly bottom as it sped on its way to the
creek not far off. At some dStance was a
fire, around which were a couple of colored
cooks prepaiing the fish for the table, super
intended by Mrs. Francis Turner and Mrs.
Bnck Patterson. Very soon, coming np the
shaded banks of the cteik, we observed
Jesse C., Charley 8., and other young men,
who we will not personate on account of
their extreme timidity, and under their
watchful supervision were a bevy of laugh
ing, pretty, bright-eyed young ludies. We
will uot give their names, for some of the
boys seemed to be deeply in earnest
merely talking about the fish they had
caught, of course, as they bad neither poles
or books.
When the fish were all fried, Uncle Dave
carried us arouod fo look at them, and
such a quantity of fine, nice fish we
saw together before. Large pan 3 were a«-
tnally heaped up with them. A long, wide
table was erected under the shade of the
large poplars, and the ladies, assisted by
volunteers from the men, commenced empty
ing the baskets and preparing the table.
When this was at last finished, Aunt Betsey
summoned us to a fine dinner of assorted
dishes and excellent dessert, that I will cbal
1c ge the pic-nickers of Georgia to surpass
Everybody enjoyed ihe dinner. There was
such a bountiful supply that no one hesitated
le eat until perfectly satisfied. I did not
know before that Will, Wade, and Hurve
could beat me eating. I gracefully yield the
palm to the trio. It wus indeed bard to find
a stopping point, when the ladies with as
siduous attention were around and about us
all the time, pressing the rich and plenteous
viands upon will ng men. And by the way,
the ladies of this community, both old and
young, cannot be excelled either at borne or
abroad. They are noted for their sociability,
kindness, and hospitality. And moreover,
the men are not one whit behind them to
either accomplishment. God bless them T—
every one—both temporally and spiritually.
After the repast was finished the crowd
again scattered under the shade trees to
while away the time in pleasant converse.
Berry T. and Juo. P. challenge! ’Squire B.
and Jno. O. to a game of marbles The
boys enjoyed the discomfiture of the ’Squire
when the “seven” was ended and his Side bad
only scored “one.” The spirit and fun of
the game was catching, and ere the party
left for their homes, nearly every man bad
tried bis band.
Uncle Dave carried Bob Warren to look
at his bottom corn, close by. It was so dark
and rich and green that when they had got
ten into the center of it, Uncle Dave pro
duced matches aud a candle and struck a
light, so that they could find their way out
again. This is nothing uousual though for

to report an improved condition at this writ

John R. Tarpley soys his crop is as good
as he could expect, considering that he has

Dick Crawford has vnode considerable im
provement on his farm this year. Several
new buildings have heeu erected, and a large
portion of bis fencing replaced with a neat
plunk fence, iu pussiug bis premises, one

of a city.
Tom Simmerly thinks it rather doubtful
about getting his two thousand pine trees
from that tree agent.
We have now in our midst two flourishing
schools—one at New Bethany, taught by
Miss Minnie Smith, of Griffin ; the other at
Panhandle-Court-house, taught by Mr. M.

qualified, and will, we hope, be liberally
patronised.
We bad R v. S. H. Griffin and Rev. R
C. Manley with us last Sunday. Brother
tififfi.; preached an able sermon from the
3“ih Pmira, and was followed by Brother
Maoiej d a brief exhortation. We trust !
the may be productive of good.
Mr. Editor, 1 wish to make a suggestion.
It is this : Wsuid it Dot be a good law to
levy a tax of five dollars on every kind of
pistol owned iu the State, whether manu
factured in (be State or imported? Let
every vender of any kind of side arms pay a
tax of five dollais on every article of the
kind sold; and let every owuer of such
weapons be required to pay a tax of five
dollars annually for each and every one thus
owned. For bringing iuto the State, selling,
or offering for sale any pistol nr other kind
of side of arms, and refusing to pay said tax
as above required, let the penalty be confine
ment aud hard labor in the State prison for a
term not exceeding one year, nor longer thnn
five years. No commutation of this sentence
to be allowed ; let all fare alike. Seems to
me such a law would have a salutary effect
in suppressing crime. Panhandle.

War In Camps.
Mr Editor: —As I am a regular “relig
ious fighlei" I will not seek to hide my at
taek* under the covering of local items, such
us health, rain, crops, etc., but like a true
soldier march bravely to the front and fight
an open-banded battle.
But, be it remembered, I have, in no
stance, been the assailant in any of the des
perate rencounters with my opponents. Now,
what are the facts iu this wretched, irrelig
ious, unholy war with Bro. Tburinan, of
Tussahaw ? Some two or three months ago
1 had io Tmc Weekly a short
notice of six Baptist evangelists immersing
2.222 persons iu nine hours, and from that
“demonstrated” ho* twelve apostles could
/une immersed SOW io one hour and a few
minutes t thus actually proving by figures
that the 3,000 Pentecostians could have been
immersed in ooe day, which has so often
been deuted by Pedo-Baptists. This was
the extent of “Bro. J L. Adams’ demons
trations,” which Bro. Thurman thought
sufficient to have The Weekly dubbed
Baptist.
If one little short article by Bro. Adams,
fcJattrj**-.U'«u.>•*» fin«er. was euffi
named, whv Cwaltney,
Dic-kea, “Zupb.” el. aU cyn fi'l column after
(Piset-, and nnt n
word laid about “dubbing The Weekly's
Ujuyi-r«nl£|t. sSjtnbjing Stone. etc. ? Justice,
Bro. £uj|gfcers ought to b(A
Sin* n ) demands fftnokwer to the above
st ion. . . /
But Bro. ThVAttan«aaß*Efie has no relish
for controversy. Well, let’s see He sits
d >WU to write a batch otlccnkjEomJi’ussa
ha#, and Instead of confining himself to
Tussahaw affairs, he leaps way over into the
western part of Lowe’s District, and without
one wotd of wiu-jaiiqpiiwws loqmUtalent em*
of his f 1 eologieal aftiflefy upon"
head of “Bro.. J. L- Adams ” After three
or four weeks, just for the purpose of having’
a little fuo to wftile away the time these pot
days, I concluded to write a short reply to
Bro. Thnrman's complimentary notice of
inyWtf, which thing I abo proceeded to do.
What follows ? The very next issue of The
Weekly contains nearlv one whole column
of controversy bom the pen ol Bco. Thur
man And still Rio. T. sujs he bus no relish
for controversy!!! 1 • ■
But it seems that not Only Bro. Thurman
is opposed to religious controversy, but the
whole of Peeksville as well, so carefully has
he tanght his parishioners the exceeding sin
fulness of religious controversy; for the
rpgular giant killer, bort -breaker and no-e
--flattener of Peeksville rushes to Bro. Thur
man’s relief, and proceeds to cudgel “ friend
Adams’’ like be did the Hampton bully— to
whom he has the gnn-e to compare “Bro.
Adams.” Well, I may.“seem to love re
ligions fightiug/’ and if I real'y do, I am easily
gratified'* lor, just as in tbis issue of The
Weekly. I always find two or more ready
•for the battle.
Bro Thurman asks me how do I know
that he is not willing for The Weekly to
publish what Bro X and myself have to
say? J knbw it b<cause yen threaten,
if “Bro X doesn’t cease Iris astonishment
and Bro J. L. Adams Lis demonstrations.”
to change the name of The Weekly, and
dflb h R ijitist. I ask in turn, could language
more deafly imply that you were unwilling
for The W rkkly to retain its present name
it it continued publishing Bro X s “astonish
ment” and Bro. J. L Adams' “demonstra
tions ?” Let the reuder judge between us,
Bro Thurman.
In reference to the name of Congrega
tional, I acknowledge niyseff*correcied, and
am glad Bro. Thurraup sp particularly calls
my attention to it by italicizing it. Not
knowing Bro, Thurman at the time I wrote
my first reply, I addressed a note to a gentle
man, asking who Jno. M. Thurman, of Tus
sahaw, was. I received in reply that he
was a “preacher living in Tussahaw, after
the Congregations list persuasion.” Still
being in doubt as to whether it was Congre
gatioo.ilist or Congregational. I searched ruy
Bible through, it being the best authority 1
had in m. shin lihrnry. as to the different
names of Christ’s Church ; hut failing to
find anything of a Congregational Methodist
Church therein, and being ignorant of the
real name, 1 was left in doubt, and so took
the nunte my friend wrote me—hence the
misnomer l. in torn, ran inform Bro.
Thurman that I urn. not n member of the
Bible Christian congregation, but if anything
at all, am an humble member of Christ’s
Church—united with a body of Christians
who believe that Christ has all authority in
heaven and earth, and is King of kings, full
of wisdom and power, to whose comman Is
we all mn-t how if we would be saved;
therefore, we dare not change the D ime He
has given to His own Church,and substitute
instead a human-made name. Hence, we
call it the Church of Christ, or Christ’s
Church, and individual members we call
Disciples or Christians, just as “the pure
word of God teaches.”
Now, Bro. T., you *say that “you are
within a body of Christians, whereiu yon
believe the pure Word of God is preached
and the sacraments duly administered,” etc.
This, Bro. T., is a strange declaration; for
you know the pure Word of God has named
the Church of Christ, and still you are “with
in a body of Christians” calling themselves
the Congregational Methodist Church of
Christ, of which the “pure Word of God”
says not a word, and still yon believe the
pure Word of God is preached within your
body of Christians! 1
Ar.d again. If I understand Bro. Thur
man’s creed, or the teachings of his bodv of
Christians, they administer the ordinance of
bap’ism by sprinkling and pouring, and “do
it in the name of the Lord Jesus,” as Chris
tian baptism, or as being authorized by the
Lord Jesus ; and yet there is not one word
of authority in all the pure Word of God
for either or both of these monstrous Bany
lon is h innovations. And still Bro. T. claims
he is preaching the pure Word of Godl!!
There is not n man living on this earth
who can take the Word ol God and show
anything like authority for the practice of
sprinkling and pouring, as scriptural baptism
No, not arte. And tor this tesson l can in
form “Guy Haspar,” and all others con
cerned, why I “seem to love religious fight
ing.” Because I, in common with my
brethren, seek to restore primitive Chris
tianity as taught by the pure Word ol God.
Of course 1 do not expect to win popu
larity. or the applause of the sects ; neither
do f derire it, unless it can be obtained by
preaching the truth lor the Lord sayg:
“Woe unto you, when all mm speak well of
yoo ! for so did their fathers to the false
prophetsl oke vi: 26. All the false
prophets were popalar, as false preachers are
to-day, because they said eoft things that
pleas'd “itching ears while all the true
prophets of God were killed for oreaching
the Word of God just as the Spirit put it
into their mouths. Christ was crucified for
preaching the troth. Paul, Peter and James
were all put to death for the same tbiug.
And show me a man to-day who preaches
the truth, not fearing to declare the wbqie
counsel of God. and I will show you a mao
who is unpopular, without an exception or a
doubt.
Iu conclusion, I must say that, for reason*
of my nvu. I have tried to answer both
“Guy Haspar” and Bro. Thurman in one
number, and that I have met Bro. T., made
his acquaintance, and found him a perfect
gentleman in every respect, so far as I am
able to judge ; and that if anything herein
contained seems unkind or bitter, it is not
iutended for him. I have, of course, ex
pressed myself quite Ireely concerning the
teachings of the pure Word of God, etc,,
but with no intentional aDkiudness to Bro.
Thurman. J. L. Adams.
