Jowktt A Siiavbr, job printers, Au gusta, have made an assignment, but will probably continue business. How in the dingnation Goldsmith could lie found guilty and Renfroe go Scot free, is one of the problems of the day. Twenty-five persons reeently lost their lives, and thirty were wounded, by a railroad ooHisrou on the Michigan Central Railroad. Thk two sonß of Stephen A. Douglass have recovered $200,000. in an Illinois court, for cotton which belonged to their father. Eloquently True and Just. n is with hearty cordiality that we place on record the following just tribute to Mr. Davis, from the Sparta Ishmaelile Pie towers above his enemies like some giant oak over a knarled and scrubby sapling, that ean do naught but repose in its shade : “It isn’t singular that such a man as .Trflprson Darin should have enemies even in the South. Vain and ambitions men are angered by his superior excellencies. His very greatness affronts them. They resent a superiority which they are not manly enough to admit. They sneer at a courage that actually grew greater in the midst of danger, and that the terrors of impending ruin only sublimated. He was better and braver and truer than his purpose, and they cannot for give him for it. His greatness in all that dignifies mau in the presence of his fellow men, is a standing menace to their littleuess ; ana under the painful and humiliating com parison, they grow angry and revengeful. 1 he\r agent in a fateful war, be was braver and more devoted than they—as truthful history will some day record. They bate the wan whose simple, uoaffccted.unconwuer •We hero his towers above them hke the Alps above the humble Alpine vilfcce at i 1 m “y P»inful to them to live n the shadow of Mr. Davis’s greatness; but r *2 < V.S ‘‘‘“rfiar -* i _ m T 1 Rrnfroe’s .Triumph. Thp deed is done. Renfroe is acquitted, fie is an innocent man in the eye ot the law. Goldsmith, whose crime was no greater than Renfroe’s, was made to feet the full fnry of the law Fie was not only nncercmonionelv finrled from office, but additional diserace was lmaped upon him in his total and abso lute disfranchisement. The poor man has no political rights that others are hound to respect. The law in his case is remorseless ; but in the other esse if wp rightly nndpr stnnd the evidence, guilt was proven hevond a reasonable doubt. It was absolutely palpable that Renfroe had time and attain violated the law. It was proven that he did this in order to pot money in his own pocket ; and yet there were fnnnd seventeen men in the Senate who, in the face of their solemn oaths, voted “not ouii.tt !” The record of the last hours of this memorable trial—a trial that will be remem bered for many years—l* before ns. From it we learn that while there were some who honestly believed Renfroe innocent of any corrupt motive, or Intention to do wrong, there was such a disposition to "log-roll” as to induce the belief that in the event of a verdict of guilty being found, snch an un comfortable condition of nffiiirs might arise as wonld cause new and startling develop ments to be made. Hence, in order that the turbulent pot of investigation might cease to boil, this man was told to go and sin no more. Well, presuming, until the contrary be proven, that every Senator followed and obeyed the convictions of doty, we shall hope that the lessons of these two trials will be turned to advantage, in warning others. With Goldsmith it is indeed a sad thing ; nor is it much better with his luckier partner in misforlune; for, however pore the law may regard him, all honest people will re gard him with suspicion. Like a woman, whose purity once lost is never perfectly re gained, so with a high State functionary Once tainted, be can never afterwards enjoy universal confidence. Such is human natnre. The State of Georgia—called in her pride the Empire State of the South—requires her set vants to work for so small a som that it is almost impossible for them to iive and keep up a respectable appearance on the pitiful salaries doled out to them. Mark the result, and then prove to us that the State is not in part answerable for the crimes here committed: Goldsmith and Renfroe went into office honest men ; an insufficiency of means derived from the salaries intended for their support led them into doing that which, if the necessity for an increased income had not existed, they would not have done ; they were^prebe^^n^^M stands morally convicted before the world, and will be under the ban of suspicion long af ter the other’s crime shall have been forgotten But the end is come, and we most heartily rejoice that it has. May we not hope that after this excitemen has abated, and the bad feeling engendered thereby passed away, matters will return to their Dormal state,and the era of fraternity once more be estab lished. Then, when reason and judgment and common sense can havo some little force in our public affairs, perhnps the mistakes, if any, which have been made during these trials, can be corrected. Everybody will join us iu the prayer that they may. Thr Jasper Centennial. —Though some what tardy, we must be jx rmitted to express our gratification at the brilliant success of the Jasper Centennial in Savannah last week. Ihe occasion will long be remembered. It was a grand success in every feature. The crowd was enormous—testing fully the ca pacity of Georgia’s “Seaport Queen.” The speech of our great Senator was masterly ; the show of the military brilliant iu the hi ghest degree ; good order unbroken by a single mishap—everything moved as it was ordsred, and everybody was delighted. \ erily, it was a day of jubilee. It surpassed anything ever before witnessed m the State, and will add to the already proud fame of the people in the city by the sea. We refrain from printing any extended accounts, as our readers have doubtless al ready made themselves acquainted with the details of the great event. Sensible.— We clip the following from the Talbotton Register, and desire every Henry county farmer to study it Good advice, soood doctrine, bard, solid facts shine oul from every line: “This is what tbe Southern farmers must know and consider ; and knowing the facts they must see the imperative necessity if they want cheap breadstuff?—to prepare to raise them at borne. No farmer iu tbe South should let the email grain seed season pass without putting in full crops of wheat, oats, rye and barlev. With full cribs and burns, and well stocked smoke bouses, the South ern farmer is lord of the situation, and if it must be so. he can sell bis cotton at low prices, and then ask no odds of tbe outside world.” Foolish — The following foolish agree ment has been entered into by a number of young men at Canastoo, N. T.: Thirty young men have signed an odd compact, whereby they agree to abstaio from intoxicating drinks for life, aod any one of them who breaks it is bound t» publish io the village papers, over his own signature, a notice that be sap fre no Savannah. WIIAT A NOVICE SAW IN TUB CITY BY THR SKA —ar rxorssifNtsT amid thr i>a<vakt DHPf.AV OK TIIK ‘ JASPER ORNTENNIAr.”— A TRIP ON THR TIDE BY AR UKINITIATFO LAND-IXFHRR. Mr Editor :—On Inst Wednesday pruning we donned onr duster, pnt a pint of pinders in our pnrket, and with an “enthnsiasm war ranted time-proof and made of gpnnine never-decaying material.” we ensconced our self in the depths of a enshioned scat on hoard the Central train at Hampton, and started out to see the show at Savannah. We soon fonnd onrsetf surrounded by a bevy of Parnesvilte’s benntiful girls, who fairly won your correspondent fiom the sedate position he had assumed into an ntter forgetfulness of self by their sprigh'liness and vivacity, and carried him hack ten years or more, nntil it was with some difficulty he oonld command his dignity and identity as a benedict. Upon our arrival in Maron we found an immense coneonrse of people in wait for transportation to the “Forest City." By an almost herculean effort we secured a seat, which was shared by a genial compan ion in the person of Mr Edwin R Sharpe, of the Carrollton Times, when the cars rattled ont of the "Central City” depot and took their way to the sea. The train being crowded, sleep was ont of the question, so we had to succumb to the exigencies of the occasion and pass the time in social converse for the night. Dusty, tired and hnngry, we landed in Savannah on Thursday morning and begaD to seek for "a little trundle bed.” The Pulaski and Scriven were overflowing with guests, the boarding houses wtre crowded out of all reason, and we found it a difficult matter to obtain lodging. It w\s emphati cally a big day in the history ol Savannah, and by 10 o’clock, A. M., the numerous trains had poured such a crowd of people into the city that the streets were perfectly packed, and locomotion among the pedestrians l>e came exceedingly difficult. Nevsr before in the history of this country had inch honors been pa'd to the memory of a private sol dier, and never were they more vorthily be stowed than on this dead hero, vbo a cen tury ago fell in the defense of the establish ment of onr liberties. It may not be amiss for us to refer to the occasion «nd to tbe gallant man of whom these cerenonies were commemorative. After the battle of Fort Moultrie, the Second Regiment, in which the ncble Jasper served, was presented with a magnificent banner by M ra. Bernard Elliott, with the request that the colors might ever be pro tected by the valor and bravery of the troops. On the 9th of Octoler, 1779, Savannah, which was then under the control of the British troops, was attacked by Count D’Estaing, commanding the united forces of the French and American armies. The assault resulted very disastrously to the American arms, and D'Estaing vas com pelled to retreat, after a heavy bss of bis men, receiving himself a severe wound in the attempt to capture the town. During the engagement the Second Regiment played a c.inspicnous part, and in the fiercest ol the their lives supporting the colors which they loved so well. As the banner bit the dust for the third time Sergeant Jasper sprang from the ranks and sewn? the fallen standard, in the storm of shot and shell rushed forward and planted them upon the British works, when he received a mor tal wound and fell with his hand upon bis banner and his face to the foe. His Inst words were characteristic of the man Said he, as fce felt the tide of life floating ont, “I have got my furlough. That sword was presented to me by Governor Rutledge for my services in the defense of Fort Monltrie ; give it to my father and tell him that I have worn it with honor. If he should weep, tell him his son died in the hope of a better life. Tell Mrs Elliott that 1 lost my life support ing the colors which she presented to our regiment. If you should ever see Jones, his wife and son, tell them That Jasper is gone, but that the remembrance of the battle which he fought for them brought a secret joy to his heart when it was about to stop its motion foreve.-.” Thus died the gallant Jasper, an alien, but a friend and putriot to the American cause, who left his native land to link his destinies with the young Republic of the West, and lay upon the altar of his adopted country the highest and holiest oflering of the soldier and patriot—his heart’s best blood And to day, after the lapse of an hundred years, Georgia’s people meet to do him honor, and well do they discharge the trust Up aod down the beautiful streets the glittering guns and waving plumes tf 11 us that Georgia, Florida and South Carolina sold''ery are here to do respect to the fallen brave. As they file down to Madison Square, beaded by the German Fusiliers of Charleston, to which company Jasper was attached when he fell, the procession was greeted with rounds of applause by the thou sands of spectators who had assembled to witness the sceoe. Our gallant Gordon was the orator of the day, and never did he acquit himself so well. Ilis theme was full of pathos and eloquence, and his words will live in our hearts for days to come. A 9 near as could be ascertained, the monu mental corner-stoue was laid over the spot where Jasper fell. Ibe music swelled into a graod symphony, and the immense crowd slowly dispersed from the spot. Savannah, in some respects, is a remarka ble town. Her houses are built io an antique style, and present more of the uniqueness of the fancy and fashion of a century ago than any other city in the South. Having in her early days imbibed much of the habits and customs of tbe French colonists, there exists to-day among ber inhabitants a practical politeness that is quite refreshing to tbe uncouth manners of other localities. She is emphatically the monumental city of our State, and her parks and public works reflect credit upoo tbe enterprise and spirit of her citizenry. After being regaled with some of the good things of this life by our brethren of the Morning Metre, we proceeded to tbe wharf aod took shipping for Tybee and Warsaw Sound. As our boat, filled with passengers, floated down tbe current of the river in tbe golden haze of ao October eve ning, our spirits rose with the occasion into a perfect ecsUcy of delight. Swiftly oar the bine waters of the Atlantic main. Ne“er before did we so appreciate the force of • bounding billows” as we mounted the waves that camp rolling in over the distant deeps and rocked our boat on the restless tide. Hardly had we entered Warsaw Honod and felt the surging of the “vasty deep,” when a gentle nneasiness in the region of the diaphram warned os of an approaching sea son when we might proceed to cast up accounts and yield the inevitable tribute to Neptune. To onr great relief, and with the hearty approbation of “Fitch” Alexander, who was holding down a large coil of rope in the almost vain attempt to balance the credit column io the log-book of his victual department, the boat turned slowly around in the trough of the sea and headed for the city. The excursion down the river aod back was highly enjoyed by all, and by none more than Jack Brown, who saw everything, and laughed at everything, from tbe centre to the circumference of the trip. All in all. the “Jasper Centennial" was a complete success, and well may Savannah be prood of the day that brought together her thousands to celebrate the event that has woven in her history a silvery thread of romance and chivalry that has grown brighter and brighter through the century gone by. Of course the members of tbe press were out in full force. At 9 o’clock they assem bled in Metropolitan Hall, when the Associa tion was called to order by Vice-President Hancock, in a few appropriate remarks. We recognized many familiar faces among tbe brethren of the “fourth estate,” wbo greeted us with hindly welcome. The business be fore tbe Convention was readily disposed of, and tbe boys were given tickets and license for their general enjoyment in tbe run of tbe city. As darkness settled over tbe city we took our way to the depot, where we boarded the first outward bound train and was in doe time landed back at home. In conclusion, permit us to say that io all oor life wo never—that is, hardly ever—met with such a jolly crew, or had u more de lightful trip. Arnot. Our Peeksville Letter. Mr. Editor: —Said I to a denizen of this county not long since : “Now is the time to subscribe lor your county paper. The new mail route is in operation, and you c«n get the paper wet from the press, filled with all the news that is afloat.” Said he, “I don’t care to pay $1 50 for my county paper when I can get a New Tork or Chicago paper, twice 83 large, for half the money.” We meekly informed him that he did not read a third of the matter that foreign news papers contained ; that he not only d:d not read it, but that it would be of no interest to him if be did ; that something transpiring about home was more valnnble and enter taining than news coming from a distance. He replied that he did not care to pay a man to publish what came nnder bis own observation, or to read anything that he already knew. Not many dnys after we loaned him a copy of Thk Henry County Weekly, and after he had perused it from alpha to omega. we ventured the inquiry as to his like or -1 mum ii a poor ming lnrfCecl; I don’t see one word from oar own neighborhood." This I regarded as consistency with a vengeance, and comment is entirely superfluous. For the information, however, of the honorable gentleman, and others whose names are synonyms of consistency, we will state tbnt there is a “Debating Society” here known as the “Ciceronian Society,” and at the next meeting tbe question. “Which was the greater poet. Milton or Shakespeare?” will be discussed; that the young meD have organized a “young men’s prayer meeting that tbe older men have a prayer meeting of their owo, and that we have the most flour ishing Sunday school that has beeD in this neighborhood for years. As Autumn ad vances the interest is unabated—a thing that seldom occnrs in the country. Henry Thompson, whose life has been despaired of, is slowly recovering. There has been much sickness id this vicinity recently, especially among children, bnt under the skillful treatment of Drs. Peek, Trainer aDdliuson, all have recovered, or at least are in a fair way to health again. Dr. WyDn is absent without leave. It is rumored that he is off on a prospecting tour, and that on his return he will have his machinery remodeled and begin anew. The Dr. ba3 a great deal of enterprise, and will hitch an engine to bis mill if Tussaba* gets much drier. We are pained to chronicle the death of Frank Collins, which took place last night. He leaves a wife and two small childrenito mourn his loss. Proclus. Peeksville, Ga., Oct. 9th, 1879. “Honor to Whom Honor i 9 Due.” Mr. Editor .-—Your correspondent, in last week’s issue, under Ihe above beading, mis directed his missile, and it has falleD with ponderous weight upon the innocent head of poor “old Bob Lee,” an innocent old mule, that deserves words of commendation, rather then those insinuations that have been passed upon him by his ungrateful master. I would pass the matter unnoticed, but the injured party must be defended, and the "honor con ferred upon whom honor is due.” Bob is the deserving party, and he must be honored. Doubtless Mr. Gorman is an excellent man, but your correspondent bad no desire to eulogize him ; his object was to annihilate his predecessor, and the result is, poor “Bob” has been unjustly slandered. As a matter of justice to the mule, please allow me to give your readers ai least one incident in the history of bis life : On a certain occasion, as he was being harassed by the vocifera tions of his present owner, who occasionally makes the hills around Mt. Carmel echo with his shrill voice as it articulates bis favorite execrations, as follows : “Ge-e-e-e, Bob!—you infernal old fool!” (But read ers. please say nothing about this, as the mule’s master was at that time a member of the church ) On the occasion referred to, the patience of both mule aDd master was sorely tried. Bob saw a beautiful bunch of fresh grass, that looked so temptiog be could not avoid turning iu to refresh the inner male. I his was beyond the endurance of his mas ter, whose bead towers high into the thinner atmosphere, (and by the way, this accounts for the thinness of bis farming rejibrt, which rh : ’ -..1” Jl III! 'f& -would have been - - - ematieal calculation.) He polled with all his power against “Bob,” hut “Bob’ was stronger than his master, and gently palled him forward. At this critical juncture the enraged iohd dropped bis lines and made for tbe fence. Seizing a rail, he returned, brandishing it high in the air. and at last, bringing it down wi'b a giant’s strength, le laid “Bob” prostrate upon the ground, say ing, with a triumphant gesture, “Now, , i reckon you will mind meSince then he has been careful to obey, and I think his master should delight to “honor him.” And now let me soy that all is in perfect harmony at Mt Carmel. “Bob” is grazing quietly upon the bill near Uncle Nick Pritchett’s store. His master’s plowing tones have long since died nway in tbe dis tance. lam living with Mr. Lee Adnm«, whom I God to be a high-minded gentleman. As a teacher, I have had the liberal patron age of the people for two years, aod they are subscribing more libernly for next year. They are onder no obligations to me, bat I am under many obligations to them, and with gratitude for tbeir past favors, I intend | giving them a better school next year thoi ever before. So far as l know, I enjoy tbe perfect friendship of all tbe jteople, except “Bob’s” master, who has been seeking to impede my prosperity for the last twehe months, and for no other reason than that I was not willing to be an abject slave while living on his land, and allow him to threaten to “kick my children so high that tbe birds would not build id them.” And now I would gladly forgive the past, and live fra ternally with him if he would only desist from bis unfair df%)ing toward myself, and treat “Bob” with due respect. I have beeD driven to make this defense, and will now adjourn sine die. I most say, however, that bottom lands arouud Mt. Carmel have yielded wonderful crops of corn this year. I took a ride with Mr. George All yesterday. His bands were gathering corn, fifty ears of which weighed 70 lbs. This is no exaggeration ; tbe fact was ascer* tained by actual experiment, and can be substantiated by Dr. J. T. Lawrence. Your readers can satisfy their minds regarding other things that I have written by con sulting the Fields, Fosters, Mitchells, Wise, Pritchett, Conkles, White, Babbs, Browns. Adams, or any one they may desire to con sult. H. Mt. Carmel, Oct. 9th, 1879. Renfroe. Or course tbe opponents of impeachment pressed every consideration that could be permitted to preveßt that consummation; but it seems singular that they should have urged the Treasurer’s ignorance of the laws that he had been violating as an apology for his wrong. If a lawyer were to make such a plea lor bis client, though that client were in fact an ignorant negro, before any Justice of the Peace in Georgia, ought not the Justice to fine him for contempt of Court ? TbeD does not it look as if the counsel and friends of Mr. Renfroe had a very low estimate of the intelligence ot the court composed of Georgia Senators ? But if this plea of ignorance is good in such a court as that which has just acquitted Mr. Ron few. wj)y..mn jijHjLbs „?£°,<UB vI'HS our common Courts because they are not recognized by pre-ent laws, the Senate should now eudeavor to change the laws so as to give all men alike the benefit of their ignorance. —Columbus Times. The strangest part of the whole matter is that Renfroe should be acquitted of taking $247 as costs, and Goldsmith convicted of taking fifty cents cost on 6. fas. This in consistency in tbe two verdicts will remain a mystery, and while we have nothing to say against it, we can but wonder if Gold smith was ODly made an example—only sac rificed on the altar of public policy—to suf fice for the shortcomings of the present ad ministration.—Atlanta Dispatch. After a loDg and heated trial tbe Senate, sitting os a Court, says the Treasurer is not guilty, and the Treasurer may, and doubt less will return to his office as an innocent and injured man! Perhaps this is all as it should be, but if it is, the Senate should re view its action in the case of Mr. Goldsmith and at least relieve him of bis political dis abilities, for the high court will find it hard to show the people why the one should be stamped with tbe brand of perpetual degra dation, and the other, whose skirts are spot ted all over with the soil of official wrong doing, should be found guiltless and sent back to his office. —Columbus limes. _ New Advertisements.
