Hill,of the Macon Bar. WORKING A NEW VEIN. Mr. L. F. Garrard, of Columbuf, ii furn ishing to the Coiumbus Times a series of highly in Wresting articles on historical legal suhjecta. The two that have been published ar* on the “Writ of Habeas Cor pus" and “Trial' by Wager of Battle.” They are popular and interesting sketches, and their publication is an important st< p in that "new departure” under which pub lic opinion is beginning to concern itself with the law and its administration. Sucb change will be wholesome to the last de gree. It will not do to leave the whole sub ject of law reform to the lawyers; they are pat t of the thing to be reformed. SECURITY DEBTS. Thomas Corwin always had the sheriff t bis door b cause in the goodness of hi? heart he could not decline to indorse for his "constituents.” One day. in the pres ence of several friends, he swore off from suretyship. Just then a young lawyer came up and said: "Mr. Corwin, lam »ing West to try my fortune. I want you > indorse this note so that I can raise money to ma»e a start.” Corwin signed It, without hesitation. As the young man left. Corwin’s friends rallied him as to breaking hi* resolution. “Why,” said he. "you didn't understand it. I consider my self principal on that note.” JURY TRIALS. Referring again to this subject, the re quirement of unanimity is a viola ion ot business principles. The law, in its*t nder- ness for life and liberty, may withhold judgment of conviction as long as one man doubts the guilt of an accused ptr*on, but iii civil cases, which are simply business, iran-actions, to insist upon the agreement of twelve men in one conclusion is an anomaly. 8everal States have already pro vided that verdicts m**v be rendered by a two-thirds majority. There i* no partner ship. no corporation, no board of irufltee*, or directors, or commissioners; no sub division of government, in which the ma jority does not control Even in the courts, when judge* differ, two out of three or tive out of nine settle the question. The veto prerogative of the twelfth juror is a dan gerous and costly phase of “one man power.” RAILROADS BEFORE THE COURTS. It has been supposed that railroad inter ests have been favored by the courts. The impresdon miy be founded upon the fact (hat they frequently bet aside the verdict? of juries for damage*. With this excep tion, the railroads have been held to strict accountability by the judges. The United states Courts of the West have cjiti{>elled reluctant lines to carry express freight, and have virtually exerci-edall the power? of a railway commission, holding that such powers are inherent in the courts, at com uon law. The decisions require carrier? keep abreast with at) the improvements modes of transportation. 'J he Court of Appeals of Kentucky hold* that the failure to use a We«tiiwhou*e air brake is negli gence. (20 American Law Register ) These are "hard lit es” for these corporations, if " be true, as stated In a recent comment on jo:'s Railroad Manual for 18SI, that a lay laborer in Boston “earns in one day enough money to pay tha entire railroad freight on the food consumed by himself xnd his family daring a whole year, al though hia flour may come from Minnesota and his meat from the interior.of Texas." SLIPSHOD LEGISLATION. Mr. 8imon 8 erne, the eminent Jewish lawyer of New York, has been discussing "The Prevention of Defective and 8 ip?hod Legislation.” He draws a fearful pictur«- of the methods which nrcviil in the svni- jtoaiur.i ot con itv gods, known as the 8tAtr Assembly of New York. Fortunately what he de*cTibrs has no counterpart iii Georgia, and yet his suggestiohs hav» some application even here. He eontra?t the English method of dealing with local and special bills in Parliament with the A meric an plan. In Engtand, personal a? well as public notice mint be given to ail parties representing interests to be offiec'eb r>y sperial or local legislation, provision i.» made for a thorough sifting before a com mittee of the merits of the niea«ure, wit nesses and expert* are examined; the in vest Ration i* judicial in Its thorougbne*a The language of every bill nmat undergo revision by a special board. Such a system abolishes the lobby and msk-'S “tricks” impossible. It would saveourState statutes from bills making it penal to "alter the tuark of an unmarked hog,” and our Cuu gress from passing penal enactment* as to collection of pensions and failing (as the conrta have decided) to affix any penalty.

The use of electr city in telegraphy has become so much a matter of course that very Jew people—hardly any born within the last forty years—eTer think of the tUnea when newa was transmitted from distances without the aid of the electric fluid.

A REMARKA3LE CASf. the new. papers; now "By telegraph” ex presses the whole atory, and the printera are saved the labor of setting op a useless word. But there is much that is interest ing in the growth and development of telegraphy that ha* nothing in the world to do with the electric fluid. To say nothing here more than merely to allude to the ancient systems of signal ing by beacon fires, one of which the Greeks are said to have brought to great perfection, it is interesting to note that that wonderful genius, the Marquis of Worcester, in his* Century of Inventions,” published in 1003, distinctly outlines a plan whereby a system of aerial signals cou d be contrived, through which men could be made to understand a signal code as far as the eje could-distinguish between black and white, and id o supplemented this with a plan whereby the same result could be reached by nigut as well as by day. Tills idea of the great Marquis was adopted twenty years later by one Dr. Hooke, who had had experience of telegraphy at Vien na, when that city was besieged by the the Turk*. His device was to use a bar rel, one of whose heads should be cut into Infer.*, or movable letters used t-> supply the place of the head, these to be luiuin conspicuous by lights placed behind them in the body of the barrel. The obvious defects of this system were, the limited range that the signals would cover, the limitation of the time of their nee to the dark hours, and the eate with which enemies could read the signals intended only lor friends. It wus nearly a hundred years later, about 1767, before any great ad vances were made in this direction. About that time a Mr. Edgworth contrived apian, based on the idea of the arms of a windmill, for giving and repeating signals from point to int over great stretches of country. This .ea was further elaborated by M. Chappe, <» French inventor, during the troublous period immediately succeeding the great French revolution. Chappe’s telegraph consisted of an upright polo-the ancestor of the modern nuisance—upon which six arms, ttree on esch side, were binged, and the varied positions of these arms in rela tion to each other spelled out the words of the signals. By this time, also, the tele scope had been improved and cheapened, •o tiiat the changing signals might be ?een rom great distance*. Thus, the arrival of the English fleet before Toulon was, on one occasion, by repetition through inter mediate stations, made known in Paris, 100 miles distant, in little more than an hour. Tlia telegraph stations were from s* ven to ten miles apart, and the officers in charge of each were bound to constant watchfulness under fear of severe punish ment. Dumas, in his "Monte Cristo.” makes one of his ingenious point* by brib ing an officer in charge of one of these sta tions to be absent during a few minutes, leaving him to manipulate the news from Spain. But thi* was many years after M. Chappe’s invention, and after Napoleon had directed his universal mind to the per fection end simplification of the system. When this had been done, which was in 1806, little or no change took place in French telegraphy till electricity supers# ded all the merely mechanical forms of th*» art. The greatest improvements in the post and arm system, the semaphore as iteame be calhd occurred through the efforts . naval officers, and as England was the greatest naval power of the period and hao the largest interest in obtaining a per fect system, her admirals and scientific men naturally to k the l*ad in this inter esting field Admiral Kempenfelt, the *»sme who went down with the Royal George line-of-battle ship at Spitheid, and whose death gav* occasion for one of Campbell's best minor poems, considera bly simplified the French system. Fol lowing him, another Admiral, 8ir Horn ' Pophsm, in 1810, finally invented the tern- Bplore. This consisted of an upright pole with only two movable arms, one above the other, and each capable of swinging completely round a circle. Etch circle was divided into octaves, and with out g dug into mathematical possibilities A Fourth Street Sensation In which j illustrating the Efilency cf Prayer by Shooting and Cutting Figure. | Mstxr of Mxrcy, Some time ago a negro named Pleas Pope In Tuesosy's t«sue of the Tklkorapii we made complaiut to police headquarters that made men 1 ion of tho remarkable cure of Sister his minor eon was gambling away bis wages Angela from a long illness, and ho wanted some measures taken to pre- Tho news of the cure spread over tho etty. vent it. lie was referred to Solicitor Uardc- and.aiaeoal, wajereatly exaggerated.

But It Is carious to note tbit the ides of our jplendid modern service Is by means modern. It had been suggested >y a German phllosophar long before even ,he Marquis of Woroattor printed his crude ideas. In 1630 Schwenten, In a book entitled "DeUdte Fhysico-Matbematira*.” even he quoting from n previous author, iyt: How two people might communicate with each other at a distance by means of a magnetic needle; If Claudius wera at Paris and Johannes at Rome, and one wished to convey some information to the other, each nmst be provided with a mag- netio needle so strongly touched with the magnet that it may be able to move tbe other from Rome to Paris. Now. suppose that Johannes and Claudiua had each a compass, divided into an alphabet, ac- cnnttnw to the number of the letters, aud always communicated with each other at 6 o'clock in the evening. Tbeu (after the needle had turned round three and a third times from the sign which Claudius had given to Jooanne?*) if Claudius wished to ■ay to Johannes, "Coma to me,” he might make his needle stand still or move till it came toe, then too, then to m, and so forth. If now the needle of Johanm ooelpass moved at the asm# time to the same letters, he could easily write djwn the words of Claudius ana understand hia meaning. This is a pretty invention but I do not believe a magnet of such pow er could be found In tbe world. afternoon she accompanied Hlster Genevieve and sister Alphonsu# in a carriage to Pio No no College, nearly two miles away.
