Parson Fvlton —“A. W. R writing
from Washington to the Macon Teltgiaph,
says :
“Just bp I expected, Pv. Felton voted
with the Radicals on Thursday on the bill
forbidding the assessment of office holders
tor political purposes. Mr. Spe. r voted
with the Democrats for tbe bill Felton is
getting ready for tbe oext campaign in his
district, and of course doesn’t like the idea
of being cu' off from the material R'd he is
likely to receive Irom the Radical office
holders d«wn thwe. He will have to rely
upon tlreir aid more this year than ever be
fore, aud of course is not wiiling to close
their pockets against him by voting frtr a
bill tiiat proposes to cut him off from that
very thing. Mr. Stephens did not vote on
the bill, so I can’t say how be stands on the
tndtter. Of course the rest of the delegation
voted for the hill. When it is remembered
bow Dr. Feltoo has thundered -against party
corruption, his vote against a measure calcu
lated to do away with one of the most fruit
ful sources of it is very edifying, but at tbe
same time, very characteristic As yon will
have noticed, be also voted ggainst breaking
up the present iniquitous and swindling high
tariff by which New K’lgiend robs tbe South
and West annually ol Mi many millions of
dollars."

The Hill Case.
We have read the decision of the Snpreifco
Court in the case of Samuel II Hill, Nwilh
profound interest. It is an able, carefully
prepared p iper, and will be preserved fir
future reference by many outside the legal
fraternity.
This cu'C has attracted moro than non*!
attention from all classes of men. Not thit
Hill was a prominent man or that his wife
—the unfortunate cause of the trouble —w is
eveti nn excellent woman, but on account if
the peculmri'ies surrounding it. Tberelis
just enough of the spice of romance about it
to command the attention of some, and {of
blood-fieezing diabolism to attract othirs.
All in all, it rises above ordinary criinjrs,
committed as it was with deadly malice, aid.

dill was tried for the crime ; a d although
revelations were made daring the trial th*t
would have staggered the faith of most men.
he seemed to have remained firm in the be
lief that his wife was- as pure as a vestal
maiden. The jury found him guilty, and the
decision of the .Supremo Court is ..ffiimative
of the action of the Court below.
It is a sad fate. Yet eympn'.hy, however'
warmer tender, will be of no avail. Ih'
solemn and final a!j idication of the east, by
the highest tribunal known to our law, con
signs the unfortunate man to a hard punish
ment. And thongh thrro arc some who will
believe him to be innocent, yet the liw de
clares h m guilty, and so we must conclude.
There are several important principles
enunciated in this decision. One is, that
though a nun may believe his wife to be
chaste and pore, he will he held am ruble
to the law if he slay one who makes im
proper ndvanc ato her. lie may believe in
her innocence, and yet her conduct, when
not in his presence, may be such us to induce
the belief that she is not altogether invul
nerable to the overtures of a lover. In such
case, should the husband, blinded to his
wife’s fanlts, slay the man, he wid be hold to
have committed murder. This is just. The
law. as set forth by the learned ju Ige, is a
mo9t righteous on-‘. It will cause men to
pause—reflect—examino and look at the
ground upon which they stand—ore they
rush upon a nnn and take hit life. Hill’s
great, all-absorbing love for his wife made
him lose sight of tho risk ho was taking. It
banished the fear of punishment—unsettled
his judgment, and for the time made him a"
roadman. '1 hat love has made him u felon ;
and the honest truth is. us taken from thfj
light thrown out by the evidence, (he wife if
the caute of it, and her whole life will btJ
clouded by it.
A pore woman is sa!o anywhere. Panoj
plied with her integrity, and environed witji
tliut iam I'as sou thing which shields her
from the insults of the libertine, she nti-tjs
not the actual presence of hunhand pr
brother for protection. There 1 is an air of
security in her iu inner that silences irmnfk
and cows the rude. Men read this as ttey
reuti the printid page. A fo->1 can umllr
stand it, and tlie immlter of defenseless
women take warning from it. But jhe
woman who turns one lascivious glance, or
performs one unchaste act, will soon beeline
the object of ribald jest nnd unseemly attjpn
tion. Once in this path, her full is sure, and
but little diplomacy is necessary to accom
plish it.
But wo lay down our pencil and leave
this unpleasant topic, with the single reipark
that W'* could have hoped that one who has
exhibited such beautiful devotion,such Over
powering love as this man, had been blissed
with n companion more worthy of it.

This is a grand inaugural. It is tbe |iitia!
step to a most glorious consummation. As
the trade expands it will bring to our ijnrrs
all the healthy coueoinitanis of eue«s>ful

Decatur is not alone favored in tips re

rale To say that one vote o'er’ onic- thud
should lie pcrniiMid to defeat the will of live
majority, is in effect to sav that a minority
shall rule. If Tiklen receives a m.jolty of
the votes at Cincinnati,, we will cheerfully
accept the result, alth'High he is not our fust
choice. /
That is the way tg> talk. Majorities should

L M. Tye, in the 59th year of his age.
Dr. Tye was born in Mecklenburg coun

eldest of three brothers, consisting o f him
sel f , William Tye and John Tye, the latter
of whom is now living at Pickens’ 8 1 at ion,
Mississippi, lie also trod six sister-’, of whom
three are supposed to tv> still living. I)''.
Tye came from North Gaiolina at quite an
early age, under the friendly care of Mr,
John 3 r tlvell DO.tf » merchant of Grif
fin, Ga.
Soon developing a taste and talent for
medicine, he began the study of that profes
sion under the iate Dr. Knott, and comple
ted his course at the Medical College in
Augusta, Go. He located in McDonough,
where he first came and studied, and here
tie opened up a practice vbich g ive him al
most constant and quit 1 laborious oc upation
far ai>out So years, and rewarded bis labors
with a handsome fortune. He was married
November 3t)ih, 1856, to Miss Mary Aim

nine are still living, four sons and five daugh

The citizens of this county, rccogniz ng
his capacity and trustworthiness at ciitical
periods ol tboT political history, culled him
to a new fi id of usefulness, and elected him
twice to tiie General As embiy.—once be

Raputation for Fair Dealing!
npHIS may be tailed a fine speech by those
L who have never taken the trouble to
in ike" my acquaintance, or to study my mode
of doing business. Stiff, 1 don’t »ah »ny
body (o lake i»v word, or in fact to be inHu
ence'i in any way by a nvre advertisement,
tint cordially invite all to call and investigate?
for themselves, fading sure I can prove that
1 mean busiuoss ur.J every word I say.
Fair dealing helps trade lie tier than fair
weather. Nothing bat steady, low prices,
year in and tear out will create and main
•ain a trade such as I hare had since I cotie
•neneed business. No uei d of argument
prices alone tell vbe story.
I have now in stock, and will continue to
keep such articles as ' * ' -/

Thanking my friends and patrons for their

the best and selling as low as tiie lowest, to
merit a continuance ol the same.
