«MT llie News & Signal predicts a
good crop y-ear because the winter has

think of the almost total fai ure of all
crops which followed, and compare them
w ith the mildness of last winter and
the abundant crop which fo lowed it
the past year, it will doubt'ess unsettle
the equilibrium of his philosophy.
It is stated that the South has

THE FA It CE 16 ENDED.
l i e farce wf hold rig elec ions is now
ever fir two years, aud for that time
our people v i 1 have a real. If we ure
judge by reports made by our ex
changes throughout the State, as well
ar what has come under our own obser
vation, wo are foice to conclude that
not a single fair election has transpired
nt Georgia from the beginning of the
,t»U electious to the end. Open bribe
ry was • practiced, and whisky used
upon iguorant negroes in unstinted
p’.antitieri. We make no specific char•
tfs against aiiy one, our object being
I. 1 record our opposition to these prac-
i. vs, and to udinouish the intelligent,
most people of the State that some
feutuai means must be promptly
i.. Wpted m> maintain the purity of the
b llot box, or the State guggrumeut
l oded ov r to the rabble und the mob.
bo offences against
jus'ice and the tendency to grow worse
at every recurring election are grave
qu s’ions, and if this evil is not ptompt-
iv and premptorially checked, all pu-
r tv of elections is at an end, and in*
’tTigen c and honesty made subject
to the rubble, to the mob and to all
manner of unlawful scheme)), 'i he con
sequences of such a state of affairs are
too disastrous to good government to
bo for one moment contemplated or
brooked. But where is the remedy to
come from ? The matter is in the
hands of tho Legislature, which it
semis to us could pass laws of such
Stringency as to deter candidates for
office from commiting these crimes
against justice. The purity of the bal
lot box and the honesty of electious
must be preserved at all hazards, and
no extremity is io.> great that will at
tain the desired end.
UAIMED SOLDIERS.
Under the above head, we publish
a letter lY'*m the Mac‘»n Telegraph,
written to Col. A, 11. Lunar by the
maimed Confederate soldiers of For
syth, the perusal of which will cause
a thrill to vibrate through the hearts
of every true soldier who bared his
breaBt to the battle in defence of the
“Lost Cause.” Their every demand
is just, and it is a shame to the State
that they hare been so long neglect
ed. These men and thousands of
others, like them, came forth at
their country’s call, and how well
they did their duty let their losses
■ell. Are they and their comrades
m>w to be thrown aside like old hulks
t > rot ? It is said that the Costitu-
'ion will not permit maimed soldiers
to be exempted from taxation. If
so, it is unjust and should be chang
d. Another hardship of which
these maimed soldiers comp'ain is
the shutting of the doors of educa
tional institutions against their chil
dren by reason of highpriced tuition.
A your or two ago, the newspapers
overflowed with praises of Senator
Brown because of a $40,000 donation
to a Kentucky college. But who
did this munificent donation
benefit? The wor;hy poor and
maimed wore all around Senator
Brown, to whom live dollars would
have been a mercy. We will say
nothing of his late atbmpb d gift of
$50,000 to the State University.
Mr. S- ney has during the past year
or two given in ; re than a $K)0,000
tn Georgia institutions of 1 arning,
but like the gifts of S' nator Brown,
it has all been placed beyond the
reach of the poor. True the money
these men gave whs their-*-, they had
a right to give it to whom they
pleased, but when they give in the
name of Christianity, then the world
lias the right to criticise their mo
tives. And let us remark, right
here, that the m ohristian acts of
pr 'fe-iors of religion has made more
Infidels than idl the books ever
written by Infidels combined.
But if no private individual, ei
ther saint or sinner is under any ob
ligation to our maimed soldier*, the
State certainly is, and we call Upon
tho L* gisjature at its reassembling
to give this subject the consideration
its gravity deserves.

The Post-Appeal says ayoungjmr-
nalist of Atlanta is wriiing a novel
which he calls “Jesus the Nazarene.”
It is said to be the story of Jesus and
his love for one of the sisters of Laza-
tus, and is full of pictures of struggles
and trials, and doubts, and disappoint
ments.—Exchange.
Let a man be an Infidel - he is alone,
he is entitled to his opinion, it is a insi

be a thief, a purjurer, or a murderer,the
law will take care of him, and rid society
of his banefir presence. But when a man
deiberately perpetrates su ;h an insu t

term of disgust, contempt, or scorn too
harsh to be applied to him Let al

they were well deserved. No man who
