A Ilellection.
The New York Sun after giving a fairly
fair resumo of the fight between the Kent-
Biige and the Alabama bb gathered from recent
publications in the “Century,” says: “It
is one of the strange reflections on this
great duel, fought in the presence of thous
ands of spectators who lined the heights of
Cherbourg, that Winslow is perhaps less
widely known to fame to-day than Semmes,
though the Yankee vessel in an hour’s fight
hank her renowned antagonist.”
“Truth is stranger than fiction,” and
there is no power that con turn or control
the natural impulses of the human mind.
There is no record of any servico beyond
the fight referred to that should fix the
name and famo of Captain Winslow in the
Not in Organ.
The Waynesboro True Citizen uses this
language, editorially: “We copy the follow
ing notice of Colonel Jones from tho Macon
Tm.Koiaru, a pronounced Bacon organ.”
It was not used in an offensive spirit or
.aenso, and we reproduce it not for the pur
pose of resentment but of explanation. The
Thleouaih is not and cannot bo the organ
of Mr. Bacon or any other mnn. It could
not be truthfully called by the people “great
and good” if it could consent to occupy any
such position. In common with tho people
of Georgia, it recognizes in Mr. Bacon a
man of character and ability, whose services
havo given him strong claims upon the peo
ple of the State.
He is in no wise responsible for the opin
ions or utterances of the TxLKoitAru upon
public questions, and the Tki.eoiiafii has
at no time sought to control, direct, or
affect his views or speech upon any sub
ject.
Tho day has long since passed when a
strong and honest journal could afford to
become tho organ of any man or any set
clique, combination or ring of won. In
fact, the modorn newspaper truo to its
high mission is far more powerful than
any ono or number of men.
The Tklkobapu reflects the best opinion
of the honest and intelligent people of the
State upon all political, commercial and so
cial questions. It is tho friend and coun
sellor of all worthy Georgians, of all ages
and conditions. Its mission is to dissem
inate troth and instruction, to elevato pub-
lio aspirations and moruls, and to hold up
4o scorn shamo in all departments of life.
It uover opposes a good man or a good meas
ure, and if in the opinions of some of its
friends it is more stern than the occasion
would seem to warrant, it must be remem
bered that it has frequently to deal wi*h
selfish hypocrites and demagogues, and
sometimes with the political scoundrels
who, in times past, have disgraced
and well nigh raised the State.
Ho far as eternal enmity to rings and
cliques of tricksters is concerned tho Telk-
ouA.ru may be considered an organ of the
people.
In the contest for good government and
honest methods it confesses to partisanship,
whioh is only used as to measures and never
as to men.
Miomoaif oonviots have a good time. The
Detroit Tribune says they are treated to
amusements. Under preceding administm
Hons the best singers or speakers obtainable
have exercised their talents for the amuse
meat of the convicts, and it happened that
at the last anniversary of this sort a travel
ing opera company sang the “Mikado.”
Georgia does better than this. The convicts
are allowed to vote in Atlanta.
It even requires the pens ot partial friends
at this late day to uccord him somewhat
questionable credit.
There was nothing particularly skillful or
exciting in the manamvering or fighting of
the Alabama and the Kearsage, and acci
dent alone decided the result.
The explanation of tho surgeon of the
Kearsage as to the firing on the Alabama
after her colors were struck and she was
sinking, cannot stand before the simple,
straightforward statement of Captain Kell,
If the surgeon had been at bis proper post
be could not have known anything of the
details of the duel
The failure of Cuptuin Winslow to save
drowning men is proof that he had been
badly shaken by the light, and that the Ala
bama did not cense to be nn object of fear
until she sought the bottom of tbo sen.
Admiral Seuimcs had been a naval officer
of distinguished service for years. But the
crui o of the Alnbamn constitutes one of
the great episodes of tho war, and his own
graphic pen has made it, for ull nges to
come, one of the most exciting “romance*
of the sea.”
Ho was no more a pirate than Robert
Lee may bo called a brigand. If ho had
been a buccaneer outlawed by tho code of
nations, Captain Winslow’s name would
last forever in the memory of men as the
destroyer of a common enemy. The world
at large does not sympathize with tho feel
ings of tho Northern people towards Ad
miral Semmes, and in this may bo read one
of the reasons why his name and fume
tower above those of Captain Winslow.
The Confederate cause, for political, com
mercial and social reasons, failed to secure
the active and practical sympathy of other
nations, but the respect and admiration of
good men of every civilized clime clustered
about it and its leaders. Fortune does not
always favor the brave, and but few niches
in tho Temple of Fauio might bo flllod if
they all were reserved for victors in the
strifis of the world.
people remember and cherish the names
of brave and honorable men who have
highly illustrated these qualities. We pre
sent a couple of illustrations both in point,
one homely, tho other heroic.
Every American is familiar with the name
of George Washington. There's not one in
thousand who con recall the name of the
Virginia carpenter who bested him in a tUti
cuff.
Where’s tho school boy who cannot tell
you how Leonidas held the pass of Ther
mopylae?
Outside of a college professor or litterateur
who cures to carry ill liis memory the name
of the Persian officer who led the immediate
Assault upon it? The allied arms saved
England at Waterloo, but the fame of Wel
lington has not obscured that of Napoleon.
A lla«l Principle at Work.
Now is the time for the people of Ala
bama to show of what stuff they are made.
Out upon the begging policy which lays be
fore Congress appeals for money to be given
over to the few home people who have been
damaged by floods. Alabama is big enongh
and rich enough to take care of anybody
there who may have suffered from the recent
flood. The Mayor of Montgomery is not
doing his State, his city nor his people any
good by crawling before the country, whin
ing for help from strangers. He should
look up to the Governor of the State, who
refuses to join in tho petition asking Con
gress for three hundred thousand dollars,
and who declares that if necssary he will
call the Legislature together to look after
Alabama’s unfortunates.
The growth of this dependent sentiment
is one of the evils that the Southern press
must fight. Wherever it crops out it be
trays a falling off in State pride,
is the outcome of the paternal system of
government now so popular incei-trin quar
ters; the system that relieves States of their
duties and lays burdens upon the general
government, that advances centralization of
power and reduces manhood to iguoblo de
pendency and throttles liberty. Only when
a public catastrophe is so great a*) to be be
yond State control, has the general govern
ment a right to interfere. Such a condi
tion of affairs does not exist in Alabama.
If three hundred thousand dollars are
needed, let the State raise it by taxation and
apply it. State duties and Stato rights are
first cousins, and the people of Alabama
shou d tear down any man in her borders
who slights either.
STATE POLITICS
Come Down From the Bench.
The position of judge on the bench is one
of diguity and influence. N) man wields
more power or enjoys the higher respect of
the people than the judge upon whom they
have been taught to look upon with pride
almost with reverence. The chances of
men in this position to use their promi
nence to promote personal popularity or
political advancement are untold. By per
sistent visits in his own circuit and by judi
ciously swapping counties in other circuits
the amount of political work which may be
done is prodigous. There is no reason why
a man should not b6 honored and promoted
by the people. Such are connected insepar
ably and justly with the proper exercise
of such high and delicate functions. But
what shall we say of a man who nses his
office for such purposes, and who reduces
the woolsack into a stepping stool for
political Ambition? The very nature of the
duties of the place demands a judicial
temperament and impartial discharge of its
requirements. It is a place of rare delicacy
and responsibility, and yet there are at least
half ;; dozen judges in this State who are
openly and avowedly oaniidst^s fur political
office. Let us have civil service reform at
home! Let ns have some consistency within
a party that splits hairs and allows abuses
for form’s sake at Washington, and tolerates
tho most evident travesty when the sub
ject comes home to us in Georgia.—Augusta
Chronicle.

The friends of General Gordon are press
ing his name before the people as a candi
date for Governor at the approaching elec

the convention for nomination he will hnv

Ilf Imitated a Turkey.
An amuaiug though home what distressing
incuhnt occurred ne*r Spoonvilln, in thin
county, last week. Mr R L Judge went
into oig creek swamp • «rly Saturday morn
ing for the purpohe of fishing. Having pre
viously seen a drove of wild turkey-t in the
swamp, he carried his gun along. Not
very long after he arrived at the creek he
heard what he wnppow d to be the yelping of
a turkey. He located the noise i.i a clump
if bushes and crept stealthily toward the
pot. When he had gotten within gun-
hot range he distinctly saw what hq
thought was a large turkey gobhr. The
Ipmg continued, and Mr. Jndge fired, th©
gun being loaded with thirty hucknhot. His
iirpriiiu can be better imagined than de-
Mcribed when a negro man leaped to hu feet
on the *pot where the supposed turkey waa
*hot at. The negro was b idly hurt, five
buckshot having been lodged in Urn back
of his head, though U is not thought that
the wound will prove fatal. That negro
will hereafter be mure careful about imitat
ing a turkey, and Mr. Judge think* he will
in the future be able to distinguiah a negro
from a turkey, even in a creek swamp.

charge the law in reft reuce to voluntary
conveyances and their effect upon the rights
of creditors.
3. There waa enough evidence to ahow
that the conveyance from 8wift Bros, to the
claimant, offered in evidence, waa connected
with and grew ont of tho transaction re
sulting in the conveyance under which the
wife claimed from her husband, though it
was subsequent in time; and tho aauie is
true as to tbo mortgage offered in evideuce.
Each of these shed light on the transaction.
There waa no error in admitting them.
3. That tho judge told counsel for the
claimant that thqp agreed on tlio law of the
aud that there waa no difference aa to
the law between counsel, waa not error.
4. If the particular sentence from the
charge to which exception ia taken could be
separated from the balance of the chargi
and be considered at broadly layiug down
the proposition that the consideration of
claimant's deed must be adequate to author
ize the jury to sustain her title against
creditors, then it would be error. But the
charge, taken all together, was f nil and fair,
and properly limits the charge, which ia as
signed as error.

llt.ASiiroKii, J.—1. The note sued on wa.
made in November, 1S79, and is governed
by tho usury act of October 14, 1873. The
note shows on its face that eight per cent,
was contracted to be paid. It was not
shown that no greater rate of interest wa-
taken, aa ut required by section 4 of the act
mmtloned. Therefore the plaintiff could
nli recover his principal debt, under sec
tion 3d of the act, and as the contract under
thiasictton did not bear intenat, all pay-
menta which had been mode thereon go to
xtinguish the principal.

llLAKDroao, J.—1. Plaintiffs in error are
entitled to no relief either tn law or equity.
They bought land from Berger, whereas the
title to the land woe in another as trustee
for Berger’s wife and children. If the deed
w»s ao made by mistake thia mistake was
discovered by llerger and his vendees nearly
twenty years before their bill wes filed.
The law will conciade either that the deed
was properly made in the first instance, or
that Berger ratified it. •
3. Aa Berger had no right to call on his
children to repay him the money which be
expended for their support, education and
maintenance, plaintiffs in error, his ven
dees, could be subrogated to none. It wes
bis dnty to educate and support them, and
be bail no money of theirs in his hands.
In this respect the case differs from 46
Gs 657 and 70 Go. 179.
3. As complainants bought the land in
qoevtion with their eye* open, knowing, or
being chargeable with knowledge, that the ti
tie waa not in their Vendee, and aa no fraud
was practiced on them, they cannot have a
decree for the vain* of the improvements
they have made, but can only set them off
against the mesne profits.
