Mrs. Hill's Case.
We suppose nearly everybody has read
the story of Mrs. Hill. It is a sad narrative
—a very sad narrative—and one that is
calculated to engender a hearty sympathy
for (he erring woman. The whole matter
can be summed up in a few words 5 Him
mons was a fast man, and consi quenfly a
bad man Knowing Mrs. Hill to be a
Weak-minded, giddy creature, he determined
to use h's blandishments upon her, feeling
sure that he could by perseverance and
artifice arcompli.h his purpose. She, on
the other hand, had not the moral courage
or strength of purpose to resist. More than
once did she yield to tht gnilty embraces of
the libertine, knowing, too, that be could
never, during her husband's lifetime, have
any legal claims upon her. And all this
time—even whife-Jhat husband was bestow
ing npon her the wraith of a love which
only should be given to a pore wile—she
was keeping from him this terrible sicret.
The result was, »he fell, and when conceal
ment was no longer possible, revealed the
matter to her husband.
What was her duty aa a chaste and vir
tuous wife? Her solemn duty was to have
repelled the slightest advance on the part
of her enemy, and upon a repetition of the
offense to have acquainted her husband with
the whole matter. Had she promptly clone
this, her husband would not now fie a felon
nor she be shedding bitter tears over her
own misconduct.
We sincerely pity the unfortunate woman ;
for, however widely she may have strayed,
it belongs not to man to chide her for her
frailties. Let not a too fierce judgment be
visited upon her now. She has suflered
enough already. Her destroyer is dead;
her husband ia under tbe condemnation of
the law, while she herself is a prey to those
feelings of anguish which oftimes lead per
sons either to the mnd-house or the suicide’s
fate. No matter what may come—even
should her husband be sent tree to her arms
—her peace of mind is gone—gone forever.
That mind—ao weak when it should have
been strong—ia still wavering under the
crushing weight of disgrace and shame, and
not until she is laid away in that narrow
house appointed for all the living, will she
be relieved of the burden ef her life’s sorrow.
So long as reason maintains its throne will
the event* connected with this soul-harrow
hig tragedy ever be before her eyes, and
sleeping or waking she will find the spectre
ever ready to confront her.
A great moral lesson is contained in this
brief chapter. Had tbe erring wifu en
trenched and surrounded herself with that
invulnerable shield with which every woman
should be panoplied, all this misery might
have been averted. Hud tbe man who
woiked her ruin been less of a villain and
more of a gentleman, and refused to use tbe
advantage which be gained so unfairly, the
world would have been spared tbe recital of
a case so horrible in its details, so shocking
in its nature; und homes and hearts now
mode desolate might be sauctified by the
presence of that sweet accord and enduring
love which is the natural outgrowth of vir
tue and true devotiou.

bad start, but nlong the home stretch he
would gain and go under the wire sometimes

Abstractor the Speech of Hon.
YV. T. Dickin.
The House having under consideration
the resolution providing for the paviwnt of
per diem of Messrs. Alston and Jamrison.
deceased, Mr. Dickin said :
It is with much hesitancy and reluctance
that I oppose this mensure. which purports
to be the claim of the widows snd orphans
of our deceased fellow-members, f desire
to state here and now, that if a petition
should he presented to us for a privnte con
tribution for their relief, there is not a mem
her upon this floor who would, in proportion
to bis means, contribute more liberally than
myself, for my sympathy towards the-e nn
foilunate families would justify n>e in thus
eontrib ting my own money ; but when we
vote tbe money paid into our treasury by
the laboring and tax paying people of
Georgia, it should not only be in conformity
to law, but absolutely commanded thereby.
What is the case here ? Messrs. Alston
and Jamison were elec'ed by their respective
counties as Representatives in tbe Leg sta
ture. They served thirty eight day-—until
the close of last session—drew their pay and
went home. Before the meeting of the pres
ent session they bad died and their places
were filled by other good men, elected by the
people, and they are filling their seats upon
the floor to-day. and art; entitled to and are
drawing Ihtir per diem. Now the proposi
tion is lo pay these deceased members also,
(or to their respective families.) which I in
sist, under tbe Constitution, cannot be done.
It is true, our able finance committee, for
whose opinion I entertain the most profound
respect, has recommend d the payment of
this claim ; but it is also true that they did
so under the provision in the Code of 1873,
section 191. Now iu my bumble opinion,
the Legislature enacting thut statute never
contemplated such a session as the present
one; it was in view of a ease wherein a
member dies during the session, and his seat
remains Vacant until its close, anil never
anticipated such an extra session as this, or
tbe payment of two members at the same
lirnu from a county entitled to but one.
Then, agaiu, if that luw was intended to
cover such a cisc as this, it is apparent that
it is not the law since the adoption of the
new Const it ot ion, which Constitution was
ratified on the very duy thut these members
were elected, und tbeir election depended
upon the ratification ol the new Constitu
tion ; hence, if we go upon the idea of a
contract, ti en their contract was under the
provision ol the new Constitution, which in
plain language forbids such a donation, iu
reel ion 16. paragraph I, page 44
It is said thut former precedents sus'ains
the report of the Finance Committee. 1
have great deference to fotmei precedents,
where they do not couflict with either the
Constitution of the State or the rights of
the people, but in my humble judgment this
measure, when adopted, antagonizes both.
Of all ages or countries where a people
have becD aflltctcd with donations and ex
travagant uses ol their public fund, certainly
Georgia hardly has a parallel to her history
tor tbe last several years, und now it is lime
to lose sight of liberal precedents, or sym
pathetic feelings, and strictly adhere to the
provisions ol our wise Constitution, which
wus trained with a view to econoin eal gov
ernment ; and hence, entertaining the view
I do of the law und Constitution, I have felt
called upou to express my opposition to this
seven hundred dollar donation, aod trust it
may not be agreed to.
A Kind Word for Hampton.
A recent visitor, writing to the Atlanta
Dispatch, speaks thus kindly of our little
c ; y :
If Senator Hampton were to visit his
namesake and not feel an emotion of pride
. roll up in his great warm bosom big enough
to choke him, he is not made of the same
stuff that ordinary Senators are.
If thsre is a more wide-awake town in
Georgia, tell us where it is.
Hampton is young and lusty. Less than
• dozen years old, but buying and shipping
a dozen thousand bales ol cotton per annum.
This is her legitimate trade, too, brought
here not by rail, but by her own regular
customers, on wagons.
To tell you all abont this brave little town
would take up too much space ; but it must
be said that the sound of the hammer and
tbe trowel is a familiar one there, and has
been for a long time, and bids fair to muke
music for some time to come.
Several new, large and handsome brick
store-houses will soon be completed, and
they will be immediately occupied with full
stocks of merchandise.
Mr. E. G. Harris has a splendid steam
mill in the city, which is kept constantly
busy grinding, both tor custom and making
flour lor the trade. He is now fitting up
two large gins to run in connection with his
mill, and it is expected that be will be able
to turn out about twenty bales per day when
be gets well under way.
They expect to have a new and elegant
railroad depot soon, as we learn tbe railroad
authorities have purchased a site and expect
to build right soon. The new 'one is to be
located about two hundred yards south of
the preseot ooe.
It may seem strange that they have no reg
ular hotel building as yet, but sucb is the
fact. But travelers stopping here never
want better treatment or fare than is given
them by Mr. It T. Harper and bis most
excellent lady, who, having a large and com
fortable house, kindly consider the weary j
ones and give them a delightful borne Mr.
Harper is ODe of tbe institutions of the towu.

she agreed to settle the matter, and as it
waR a family rumpus tbe court consented.
Mary YVilkerson has been compelled to

YVould it not save money to the Slate,
and render our public school system more
perfect, for the present L-gislature to pass a
law requiring each patron to certify on oath
the age of each pupil and tbe number of days
sent? If the General Assembly should be
pressed with other business now, specify a

the Ist of November.
“Shoo-fly" thinks a convention should be
held to change the Constitution so as to al

firs>t Monday iu January in each year, and
hold three hundred days each session. It

you know.
The Grove district is unanimously in favor
of changing the time of holding the Superior
Court to the second Monday in January and

Mt. Zion Camp-Meet ing.
Mr. Editor: —Oo Thursday, 21st inst,
the tent-holders, more than twenty in num
ber, and many others, moved apon the old
time-honored camp ground at Mt. Zion,
Spalding county, for the purpose of holding
a four days’ meeting. The weather at first,
though at times lowering, was ordinarily
propitious, and there were enough peop'e oo
the grounds during the entire meeting to fill
all the space under the large arbor. The
rain, however, on Sunday kept away at least
one thousand persons that would have other
wise attended. The six new and commodi
ous tents erected since last year afforded
much additional room for guests and visitors.
The people were prepared—all necessary ar
rangements for a grand meeting were made
—the ministerial force was ample and of a
very high order of talent, and ail things
seemed to conspire to render this the best
camp-meeting that we have attended in
years. The behavior of the people was bet
ter than usual. Tbe preaching was spiritual,
earnest, powerful—just enough doctrine in
terspersed to preserve the faith onee delivered
to the saints, to establish the doubting mind
io the true Biblical belief, RDd to dissipate
many of the fata! errors sought to- be incul
cated upitc the popular tsasses by tbe un
converted, uurege iterate aud uospiritual
clergy.
Tbe meeting was a glorious success. Tber*
were sixty-one acceasi ona to the church, and
a great awakening of religious interest per
vaded tbe eniire thoughtful multitude that
thronged every service. May the great good
<kme here be lastiug in nature, permeating
all classes to tbe destruction of all am, and
may kind Providence permit lor all time to
come a return of just such glorious cuntp
meetings a* the ouc that has just closed* at {

A Diabolical Plot.
There is now no dnnbt a* to how Con
gressman Daggett stands on the railroad
'question He is sound. Convening with a
Chronicle reporter the other day he said :
“The railroad people are the pertest kind

wlnn a 200-pnu.nd baggage mas'er wus
sitting on it. YVell, I paid because I
hadn’t but two minutes to fight, and at
Ogden the baggnge villain still pursued me,
and I paid some more extra weigh'. It
weighed more at Ogden, probably because a
heavier man sat on it, or else the rurified

Famous Fact Horses.
YVe are in the midst of the racing season,
and the victory of Falsetto at Saratoga oc
casioned a marked sen-uti-m in the sporting
world YVhen to the general array of inci
dents connected with the race courses is
added the fact that Bonner’s Edwin Forrest
hag made a mile in 2:11 no wonder public*
attention is turned to equine mutters. This
leads one to rem»ik how completely the
races of former days are distanced by the
recent exploits of speed. Flora Temple, for
instance, was the best trotter of her day. and
yet the best time she ever made was 2:19%.
Then came the wonderful D xter. whose
time was 2:17% a feat which astonished the
sporting world Goldsmith's M iid, however,
afterward reduced the figures to 2 14, which
wus thought the limit of possibility until
Rsrus trotted the fame distance in 2:13%.
Now, however, that Edwin Forresi’s tune is
given as 2:11%, it seems as though nothing
in the shape of horse flesh could excel such
a figure. There are those, however, who
maintain that the time will come when 2:10
will be attained, but they hold tbat this will
be the final degree of speed.
Some of our readers may imagine that
these wonderful animals must be of superior
uppearanee. Such, however, is not always
the case, and frequently there is nothing in
tbeir exterior to command admiration. Ra
rus is a tall bay. with white bind feet, but
who, when gazing on such an animal, would
imagine that he wus capable of such speed?
Edwin Forrest is a beautiful bay, a
fraction over sixteeu bands, and bis
bead indicates anusud intelligence. He
is wide betweeu tbe jaws, high in the with
ers, and immense thruugh the chest. He
has, indeed, for this reason beeu called “a
bison shaped unimal.” He possesses great
leDgtb and powerful quarters, wilh drooping
hips. Every muscle und every line suggest
power and speed. He is seven years old,
aod has the appearance of a massive thor
oughbred. which is rarely the case, flis
pedigree includes Joe Downing on tbe male
side, and Leviathau on the female. He first
appeared on tbe race course at Kalamazoo
two year* ago aud bus since then had a bril
liant record in K utucky, Cleveland, aud
Hartford He has, indeed, never been beaten,
except at Utiua, where a fraud was prac
ticed. Bonuer bought him through Cnurles
Gieen, the wed known jockey of Babylon
(Long island,} the price beiug $16,000, and
he is tbe form- r’s latest accession of laocy
