His voluntary sur- render not only saved the State elmduct »i'nce*ds , Vuil > l ITs Brat trial shows that he at no time has he exhibited any desire to set at de¬ fiance the law of the land, not¬ withstanding numerous oppor¬ tunities to evade the consequences of his transgression have pre¬ sented themselves. No man ian look upon him w ith unconcern. We would not undertake to say precisely , upon . what ., t pounds „„ ,nl clemency ahou d proceed^ ! r easier to a-k than to answer th,- question. It may bo .UMimed m , that , clemency , should , ij > he based i , upon public t • consideration*. I., The ti wisjom and propriety of pardon- ,ng Mr. Bridges we believe will he fully recognized by anybo<]y who is capable of judging real worth a* a man and the po- sition ;lie now occupies. No will pretend to contend Georgia or any State enjoys a perfect administration of laws. Chancellor Kent about the of pardon, &c., say* that ‘‘a power to pardon seem- indeed indispensable un¬ der the most correct administra¬ tion of the law by human tribu¬ nals; since, otherwise, men would sometimes fall a prey to tho vindictiveness of accusers, the inaccuracy of testimony, and the fallibility of jurors and courts. « f The prison commission should investigate Mr. Bridges’ case, and ascertain whether or not in hi* case justice is wearing a sanguinary and cruel counte¬ nance because of the court* hav¬ ing partaken too much of severity and of its failure of access to ex¬ ception* in favor of unfortunate guilt. Mr. Bridges should not be con¬ fined in a convict camp. No one w ho is copable of judging can consistently, in our opinion, ap¬ prove of hie present confinement. I.et the prison commission re¬ member, there are wrongs that they may righten; there are loads that they may lighten, if they will help just a little. Amon’s Chains. See, Amen stands near felons chains, With threatening coils far hands and feet; Though bitter the cup of heart’s fierce pains, He dare not shtin bis fate tAmeet. The Court's decree has come at j hs j And bids him leave the wife’sem- k race . No longer mercy o’er him is cast, Yet every foe he dares to face. The message strikes its sickening Dow With terror’s shafts it does it* work ; Fate, dark shadow, begin to Bat Aoon will no doty smrk.

Nearly all arrange- men to have been made for another year, and farm work is well under way.

In Anierica during many years p»st young men have been forg¬ to the front and taking the i eg ^ j n almost every line, says an exchange. The tendency is more and more marked all the time, so much so that the man who lias not found a comfortable place for himself by the time he is forty-five is likely to come to want. In looking for a position after , hnt fl ge his chances would bebet- by shaving off his beard, dy¬ ing his hair, oiling his wrinkles and cultivating vivacity and phy¬ sical activity. It is not that the old men are less wise—they are that they are lacking in the euer- gy necessary in this hurrying —this age of young men. A Dream of Death. It develops, says the Macon Telegraph, that Mr. Hotzclaw, agent of the tniorgia Southern & Florida railroad at Like Park, | ia (I a dream or a Friday afternoon that he die that night, His death reported in the Telegraph the day following. On Friday afternoon Mr. claw was in his office as usual, and being a sufferer from consumption ho had a hemorrhage from hie lungs. He at once went to the telegraph key and w ired to Macon office to send down one to take his place, as he was ill and did not expect to live through the night. He also sent in combination to his safe, and 8°*aK t° his home that night lie R rp * rapidly worse, and finally died before day.
