Tin: ixdkpendijkt. SATURDAY, AUGUST gB.IHTO. J. C. QALLAHER, Editor and Proprietor. Is it a Correct Rule t Ha* n United State* Commissioner in quisitorial power—tin- right and power to compel witneiwes to appear before him to ssccitaiu if tilt: law has been violated, or in it his duty only, when an affidavit is voluntarily mndc that. A. B. or C. has j committed a crime, to issue u warrant for bis urrest ? If the Commissioner in invested with compulsory power, to bring witnesses be fore him, upon a mere rumor, and compel them to disclose wliat tliey may know in reference to supposed violations of the law Viefore a warrant is issued aflrl a charge specifically set forth,Commissioner Wayne, at Ka van null, is derelict in duty, and Col. Farrow, the United Stabs Attorney for the Districts of Georgia, is certainly a very Inefficient officer for not instructing and compelling him to do his duty. Hut if they have not this compulsory power, then Commissioner Wayne is strictly In the per viw of his duty, and Col. Farrow is not vulnerable to censure. But certainly the j official conduct of Commissioner E. C. J Wade is subject to a very rigid criticism, for he did, in more than onu instance, ex ercise that power. In the case of Lee and Brown he issued subpoena* for two wit nesses to appear before him, undor a pen alty of five hundred dollars, and compelled them to make affidavits before him, upon ■which information, thus acquired, he is sued his jvarrant for the arrest of the par tiea. It it a correct rule? Was it a part of his official dirty ? Was it mode so by his oath of office ? If so, don’t the same rule apply to Commissioner Wayne’s duties, or do they, under Radios! Administrtion, have different oaths to suit various localities ? Col. Furrow says, npon the hypothesis that the facts stated by us are true in refer ence to the coat in the Lee and Brown eases, that a crime has lmeu committed. Commissioner Wayne knows that Col. Far row says so, and he knows that Commis sioner Wade admits it; he knows that Mr. Brown will a wear to every material fact, ta knows that Mr. Freeman’s receipts will show the amount of money taken from Mr. Brown, a* costs in the cases, and we assure him, i£ it is a crime, as Col. Farrow says it is, that evidence of the most con clusive character will be produced to sus tain the charge. Then, if it is n correct rule, when practiced by Commissioner Wade, why cannot Commissioner Wayne, upon the same rale, issue snbpmna* for the witnesses whose names we have given, and compel them to come before him and make affidavits ? And then, if they will swear what we say, they will swear then of ion United States Attorney Farrow’s de cision that it is a crime, issue a warrant fof tlo wrong doers, and deal with them as the law directs. We know very well that the rule is not ft correct, one, but we refer to these nets to attract the attention of the authorities to tins vile prostitution of principle to gratify a selfish ambition, a wicked prejudice and avaricious desires. Men have been ar rested, charged with offences that the United Slates Court had no jurisdiction of, and money unreasonable sums—ex torted from them as legal costs; and this is all known to Radical officials, and not a blush of shame appears on one of their faces; not a word of censure falls from of ficial lips, except Col. Farrow- writes us that it is a crime punishable by law; after which silenoe reigns in the Radical camp. Did he mean what he said when he as sured us that he, would prosecute United States officials, if they violated the law, with more vigor than any other class of criminals, and that lie would readily oo operate w ith citizens wishing to maintain the laws ? We assured him that we could establish, by competent and conclusive proof, every fact we hud published, and that we would co-oporate with him in the investigation of the cost questions; but Col. Farrow is silent. We presume the cases are too plain, not sufficiently com plicated for a display of his geuins and legal ability; or else he fears an investiga tion will involve his party in disgrace. We ussitro him ho need have no fears of the latter, for the party villainies are so mani fold. and its degradation so complete ns to to render it invulnerable to criticism. In our next issue we propose to give a full and complete history of the origin of the warrauts and arrest of Colquitt citizens. The character of one Mr. Hardwick;! how he was brought before the Commit)- i misaioner and made to testify. We w ill give a history of the proceed ings in the ease of the United States vs. J. S. Norman, Homy Gay, and four others, oharged with nn assault with intent to murder; the characters of David and Virgil Norman, tho prosecuting witnesses. We will give some account of the military moves in the county of Colquitt, the ar rest, how made, the propositions for a compromise, by whom proposed, the 1 amount l-equired to settle matter, and how i the cases were finally disposed of. Tim Marianna Courier says: The enterpil- i lar is generally iu the cotton fields of this county in sufficient numbers to dcstoy the crop within two more weeks. The third crop of the worm is fully developed,and the hope of escape from damage is rapidly vanishing from all who have heretofore lain the flat tering unction to their souls. We know no reason to change the opinion expressed last week that only-a half crop will be produced in the county. Mr. John Forsyth, editor of the Mobile Register is now in Eurinie in search of health. Tile Register of Tuesday contains *n editorial letter from him written in Lon don. He saw only one well dressed woman iu Liverpool, and says that she was proba bly an American. A 'listen county editor was lately pre sented with a gold pen; but he doesn’t nse it. He says it isn’t half so handy as a pair of common shears in editing a paper. South Georgia Agricultural and Mechani cs Association. Wr< have just received from Col. A. P. Wright, President ol the Association, a premium list. We lmvn’t ns yet had time to examine it minutely, but sufficiently to discover that premiums are awarded for everything of an agricultural or mechani cal character, usually exhibited on such occasions. Not only numerous are the preminms, but liberal in the amonnte quite an inducement, wc think, aside from the genius and pride of our nature, to elicit competition. When we have examined more particu larly we will writo more elaborately, fa voring and encouraging the enterprise us one of infinite interest to Southern Geor gia; an enterprise that should stimulate every county, if not with a apirit to excel in all things, with n laudable emulation in many respects. We would urge all of our readers in Houthoru Georgia and Florida —farmers, mechanic*, horticulturists, flo riculturists, arboriculturists, and all other branches of business—to prepnre their ar ticles and contend for the prizes. Elder J. R. Graves, of the Memphis Baptist, says that there is no room in the Baptist church for open eommnnionists uny more than for nffcctionists and infant runtizera or Armenians. He thinks Hpnr geon, with his present views, would work greater harm to the Baptists, in the church, Khan the Pope himself can do out of it. Wliut will the Eld’er do with open com muuionista, infant rentizers, or Arme nians, and. even “Hpurgeon, with his pres ent views,” when he come* to eat and drink at the table in his Father's king dom? Will they all- have to wait until the close romnrmniomsts get through? We don't understand theology; but we do think that if an Armenian is qualified for Heuven that he or she would make a very respectable associate in this world. — The Recuperation of the South. The Morning New* says: “The Finan cier, in an artielo under the head of ‘The Prospects of Southern Credit,’ makes special mention of Georgia, and says the plucky way in which this State has treap'd her obligations within the present year is worthy of the high praise due to courage under adverse circumstances. Georgia bonds, in consequence of the wisdom shown in the management of her finances under a responsible administration, stand higher than those of any other Southern State. “Alluding to the carpel-hag debt, the same paper says that there is only one method of lightening it, anil that is to put under it more population anil more wealth, and then continues—(and we quote it* re marks prominently it this connection, be cause they are so heartily in accord with the views of the Morning News, expressed on various occasions:) “Nothing is so justly timorous as capi tal, and oven a bad government is less feared by it than one of uncertain tenure. The ‘reconstructing’ which lias occupied the attention of politicians in Congress for eight years has been a failure; the people should have been left to govern themselves. That mistaken course must he abandoned. There must bo no more satrapy-making; no more carpet-baggers elected to the Senate for party purposes; no more subjugation directed by the party in power for that, party's supremacy. The ! extent to which these things have been done in the past it is needless to discuss now, hut if the people of the Southern States cannot govern themselves the Fed eral Government cannot govern them. Let them alone hereafter. Capital and emigration will not trust them until per manent governn/ont seems to be secured to them; that will not be until local self government is secured. In the second place, there must be a bet ter appreciation of the natural advantages of the States themselves. Slavery merely scratched the surface of the soil and kept away better methods; so the original ‘vir gin’ soil is much of its virgin yet. The system of river communication is some thing yet inadequately appreciated; the mineral resources nre not merely almost untouched yet.but nre inadequately known; there are several harbors, unsurpassed in the world; there is no good reason why cotton may not yet be spun and woven without being first freighted aeross tho Atlantic, or even to New England. At present there is only half a country to pay taxes, to furnish markets, to em ploy industry, to help repair the ravages of war. Let the mau who has no sympa thy with these States understand clearly j that he is suffering with them. These | States need capital and immigration, hut as no emigrant ever crossed or ever will cross a State boundary, except with tho hope of bettering liis condition in life, they will get neither until they get hope. Their uncertain government is enough of itself to deter immigration, and to that is added their burden of debt which nobody is unselfish enough to go and share. The movement of population must take place I soon, either into the States or out of them; one course will bring recuperation, the other abandonment. Show eapittd and j industry that they will not lie exposed to | Ihe overturning of government; that their j opportunities for developing wealth exist, ; and will not lie disturbed by violence: that 1 the turning point towards revival has come l and passed, and there will be a movement i !of both Southward. The people of the I South to be ready and waiting. | To work this change requires, first, an I abandonment of outside interference with | the government of the States; next, a bet : ter appreciation of the attractions of the States; next, a change of feeling in the people of the other States. There is res toration for the people of the South in this way and in no other, and iu this in stance generosity and selfishness unite in tho same plea. Sineo Bobhi, the poet wrote that beuti ful poem, “No, no; I enn not forget,” his w asherwoman has been waiting to interview j him, to see if he has forgotten that little ' William for expended otbow-greas. State Gossip. Valdosta runs a dental engine. Macon City Council lias voted 86,000 to the Wesleyan Female College. Caterpillars are reported as numerous in Lowndes. “Draft* by candle light” is the popular game in Thomasvillc, and is engaged in even up to the wee sma’ hours. William Archer, the mail robber, hns been removed from Savannah to Augusta try order of Judge Erskine. Bottled soap-suds with a little sweeten ing is now sold under the name of soda water, in Sumter. The Sumter Republican has this: “Bay windows are getting to Ire fashionable in this place, A festive youth got one put in just over hi* left eye at the restaurant last Saturday night, and ‘yet he is not happy.’” This from the Thomasville Timet: “Bill Jones, an inmate ol the county jail, ha* become very religious of late—so much so that he is annoying to those living in close proximity. We would like to suggest to the gentleman that if he would get nearer to the Lord that it would not be necessary to pray so loud. ’’ An exchange says: “A man in Middle Georgia the other day stepped up beliind a mule that he was about to purchase. His leg was very neatly bandaged, (not the mule’s), and the doctor thinks the tame will knit very nicely in a few weeks. He has been expelled from the Young Men’s Christian Association for some vigor ous allusions on the occasion.” “It looks to us at this distance,” say the Columbus Sun, “as if very near all of Brunswick is about to pass under the auc tioneer’s hammer. Tho City Marshal ad vertises for sale on the first Tuesday in Hep tember, for non-payment of taxes, ‘water lots,’‘hay lot*,’ ‘old town lot*,’ and‘new town lots,’ commencing with 118 and end ing with 2,611, with few exceptions.” The Thomasville Time* is responsible for the following epitaph, which, it thinks, will rate as good ordinnry: .“Under this sod And under these trees Lavs the body 6f Solomon Peas. He’s not iu his hole, But only his pod; He shelled out his sou! And went up to God.” This from the Advert iter and Republican: “Three men got into a difficulty on tho Isle of Hope train on Sunday evening, while returning to the city, and used their knives pretty freely. In the melee one of them came near cutting a gentleman who was aboard the train. The gentleman wns standing on tho platform endeavoring to keep the men from getting into the ear, where there were a number of ladies. Al though some of tho men were very bloody, we did not hear of any serious results.” The Earl;/ County Neies has this: “Tn the sixth district, where wo first heard of the caterpillars in any quantity, the crop is still uninjured by them. Mr. W. A. McDowell, who is one of the best farmers on the Chattahoochee river, gives it as his opinion that crops, both corn and cot ton, are poorer on the river this year than they have been for the past two or three years. The season ha* been too wet for the river lands. He also gives it as his opinion that the caterpillars will eat out the cotton crop on tho river by the lust of the month.” We clip the following from theEatonton Messenger: “Mr. J. W. Farley caught, near his mill, on Murder creek, on Thursday last, a hugo heaver weighing thirty-five pounds. He stuffed the skin with saw dust and exhibited it at Denham A I'nl mer’s store, creating some excitement, a®d drawing out a few beaver tales and bio graphical sketches of the beaver tribe and their habits. Mr. F. stated that this spe cies of the animal creation has done much damage this year upon his land lying along the banks of the creek. This one was caught in a trap made for the purpose." A horrible murder was committed near Bartow a few nights since. Some nn known person, supposed to have been a negro, called at the door of a Mr. White, who got up and opened it. He was then shot throe times from without. The rob ber, satisfied that his victim was dead, walked in and demanded the trunk with the money in it of Mi's. White and a Mrs. Dorch. They gave the trunk to the scoun drel, who went a short way in the woods, opened it, took out nil the money—twenty dollars—and departed. The perpetrator of the deed has not yet been overtaken. At a hotel in Atlanta a few nights since, a courageous lady by the name of Mrs. Henry R. Christian, formerly of Savan nah, healing a noise in her room, sprang out of bed only to face a powerful burglar, whom she immediately grappled, at the same time crying lustily for help. The villain, fearing assistance would arrive iu time, hurled the lady from him and made for the window, but being detained a mo ment, unable to unfasten it, the lady re newed the attack, catching him by one of bis suspenders, which, being unable to sustain his weight a-, he leaped from the window, snapped like a thread. He landed in tree near the window, and not having a secure footing among the foliage, he placed one hand npon the wimlow-sill for the purpose of steadying himself, when the lady, taking advantage of this now op portunity, seized the hand and endeavored to hold it; hut this, like her previous at tempts, unfortunately proved fruitless, for the burglar again releasing himself, sprang from the tree, and, running a short dis tance, he sealed a back fence, only to faU into the loving embrace of a genial poliefl man, who recognized him as a waiter em ployed in the house. The diamond pin presented to Mayor Turner of Sic .ix City,lowa,cost twelve thou sand dollars instead of twelve hundred, as sti ted by some paper. Tax pyeni will re elect Turner since they can’t afford to pro vide anew man with diamonds. [From the Chronicle snil Sentinel.] BILL ARP. lie Of I'M Ilia Views on Vtmli lmfth-nc* and Miss Moon Antny. Roms, Ga. , August, 1878. Mr. Erlitur: Soosan Antny ain’t nuthin to me—that is nuthin partikler. No woman ain’t ex sep Mrs. Arp, but when I heard they was a tryin her for votin, my feminine instinks earned me strait to the. Court-House. I was on her side before I got there, and I am on her side yit. Women in general is my weakness, und espeshually a woman whose name is Soosan. I always envied a man who could fondle over his wife or sweetheart and call her “Soosy.” It sounds bo meller and soft. So when I seed Hoosan Antny arrained up before the Judge like a konvict I was mad—mad with the whole Yanky nashun. They raise! a hellybilloo over the old broken kenstitu shtin, and mend it up so us to let the black babboons vote in the Ratal States, but if a white woman of sense und spunk dares to do it, it shocks their pewritan modesty. The old Judge tried to look fierse and sed a woman shoiildent undersex herself. I have seen a heap of men who, when they got sorter old, took up a sour-grape spite against good lookin women. But Soosan looked at the Judge as strait as an egul. She stood up square on her paster joints und remarked that she was free-born and nativ born and had property of her own and had a right to vote for the lawmakers of her choice. She said that women done ns much for the country a* the men, and if they dident fight in a tattle they raised the hoys that did. That haven em and nursiu em and tendon to em in sickness and in heith was a harder job than fitin, und if the men dident believe it jist let em try it awhile. She sed if the Judge could name one good reesun why they slioldent vote she wanted to know why. Soosan's eyes fiashed a little ange.Uk fire when the Judge fined her one hundred dollars, ami she remarked that every ad vause in siviiizution tad to have its mar tyrs, and she was reddy. She throwd a hundred dollar bill to the clerk, and sed she would bet another hundred that the money never reached the State Treasury. She dident mind that old Judge no more than if he was a monkey. She told him that ; f they would base the votin bisness on morality, or property or intelligence or all three put together, tho women would be satisfide; but they based it on wcariu britches, and drinking whisky and chaw ing tohukker, and kcepin one wife at home and another sum where else. She de clared that she had as much rite to choose her politikal masters as the Huthem nig gers or the lieethen Chinee. That if the women could vote there wouldent be a drunkard, nor a thief, nor a fool on the bench, nor in any other offis, and whisky would lie harder to git than arsonik. An old, red nosed, swell faced man winked one eye and hikkuped “the h—he—bell you say.” When the court adjourned the crowd cheered Soosy, and one man sed he’d see her a fair flte with the Judge; an other said tho law dident say whether the britches must be worn outside or inside, and another sed hed rather risk the wo men to vote than thousans of them drunk en furriners and fools who elekted John Morrissey. Now I’ve been thiukin a heap about this votin bisness myself, and my opiyun ar that Gov. Jinkins is a rnity smart man. The first time lie run for Governor they beat him bekans ho. sed he dident think that every fool and every vagabond ort to tie allowed to vote. He was tor druwin in the lines hinted of lettin em out, and the melankolly sequel nave proved that lie wer rite. If I wer a king-T wouldent let any body voto who couldent tell whether Gen. Jackson was (led or alive, or who took more than three drinks a day a* a regular thing, or who chawed tobakker after be hod gone to bed, or who wns a meaner man than his daddy, or who taleeved iu gosts or witches, or who dident put on a clean shirt onst a week, or who diilent earn 50 cents a day at some respeektabul bisness, or who shouted at nite meetins mere than two hours on ft stretch. I heard a blind freeuologist say that the wav to test a man’s sense was to draw n strait line from the top of liis tipper lip to his forrerd and another from the lower corner of his nose to the hole in liis ear, and if the angel be tween was less than 00 degrees he might be smart for a monky but he was a fool for a man. He said that liis test would rule out nearly all the idiots and Afrikins from votin, ami if it ilident their faith iu witch es would. I wouldent let a furriner vote until ho had lived here and behaved him self for ten years, and he shoiildent vote then unless he had married nn Amerikin gal, or was a raisin children on Amerikin soil. I wouldent let uo unmarried man vote who was over thirty years old; though I would let all ieh justify by Rwcariu that they had tried hut nobody would have em, I’d make em name the gals iu their affi davy. I would let every married man and his wife and every wiader vote if they wasn't out off by the foregoin exseptions. They should have one vote apiece for themselves and one for every child tliey had. The bust would elevate tiie Arpiau family about elektion times shore. Akkording to Solo mon, all sick ought to have a heap of privi leges, for it aint no pikayune bisness to raise a big drove of children. Jest let any hide-bound bachelor try it and see. I look upon respektable children as the hope of the State, and if I had my way these stag nant old rips who won’t marry, but prowl round and live easy md die rich and leave no sign, at least none to speak of, should be taxed heavy and the money appropri ated to the orfin’s fund. What’s a miui worth to the State who leaves no defend ers after he's ded and gone; who patron izes no Suudy schools or Mundy schools— buys no candy or baby clothes, or balls, or barlow knives, or long stookius, or jacko net muslin, or hoopskirts. or galluses. What intrust has he got in perpetnatin gre- ■ principles? Why a ebromok old bachelor can just turn over in his little one-horse bed and die and not keer a darn if the world cams to nn end in fifteen min utes. He wouldent keer if the devil was to break liaise and eat up the women and children alive. Now I'm not sayin a word agin them; married foaks who sumhow or surnbow I else haint aksidentally been blessed with offspring. By no means. They show a willingness to hav and that's enuf for me. I’ve always apologized for peeple done the best they could, whether tha succeeded or not. I aint no Bonvpsrte to chop a man’s head off for losin a tattle, whether he was to blame or not. I’m a frisnd to married foaks. children or no children. Lawful wedlock is society’s main spring—its back bone—its life inshooranee. I’ve no pa tience with these stingy old stags who j won’t many without they git a pile of pen shun money, who want to be hired to do ! it, who hang around a town waitin for sum j-ich gal to turn up, while there’s lots of | qaxir ones, purtv and clever, jest waitin to take shoogor in tiieirn. Now I don’t want to be misunderstood j about this votin bissness. I aint in favor j of women mixin up with skallawags and trash at the polls. By no means. I want the moral strength of their votes because they are better and purer and honester than the men, but I would hev em to stay at home and let their husbands or then fathers or their next frend vote for em as the case may be. If a man tooled bis wife out of vote it wouldent exactly be a clean thing, but it would be u family matter, und nobody’s bisness. It wouldent be the only thing that some men fool em about. There's strong inind*d women und weak minded man, and in fluch cases 1 would let the longest pole knock down the persim mon. The time used to was when a mar ried woman dident have no voice in-nothin —exsept makin baby clothes. She couldent own any jirojierty—she had no sivil exis tence. 'if anybody givkci anything law required a man to keep it for her. If she couldent live with a drunken husband and quit him, the law giv him all the children. But os the world grows older she keeps a steppin up higher. Now she can own as much property a* anybody, and she can make a will, and in sum States set on a jewry, and in 9 cases out of 10 she get* the children when there is a divorce. Sum of em are studyin medisin and make the best sort of doctors for women, and for children a half Lour old and under. They doclerkin and book keepin and telegraphiu and pi in tin, and can keep a post offis tatter than a man and never steal a sent. If they do peep into other women's letters it is only out of kunosity, and they always seal em up again. Take it altogether it looks to me like the time has mity nigh cum when the men have got to admit that u woman is just a* good a* a man, if not tat ter, in most everything that requires more sense than musceL I won't say she ort to voto if she don't want to, hut I say that no politishun could buy her vote with a drink. Ban Aw. Mental Aberration. Avery touching case of mental aliena tion in a charming young lady is described by a careful observer. Not long ago her mother found her in lier room, energeti cally dnroing stockings, and soon after she appeared iu the kitchen and assisted that wondering dame in making and baking bread and pa*try. Alarmed by these fear ful signs of intelloctaal disorder her fond parents immediately sent for a skillful physician, who watched her through a key-hole while she sewed buttons on her father's garments and mended those of her little brother. Much affected the ven erable man remarked that never, during a medical practice of twenty-five years, had he known any young person to manifest such symptoms as these. The most heartrending phase of all, however, was shown the other day, when her kind father, with u faint hope of arous ing her from her sad state, gave her two hundred dollars and told her to buy anew dress. Alas ! ’twas useless, hhe instantly observed that she didn’t need anew dress, and if he would let her keep twenty-five dollars to pay a poor w idow’s rent, she’d inoch rather he would take the rest of tlic money for himself. For a few moments that grief-stricken old gentleman gazed upon his hapless eliild, then hiding his face, muttered be tween his sota: “Her mind is gone 1 Her mind is gone 1” What a pity so few lose their minds in that way. — Ancient Blue Laws of Connecticut.
