TIIE IMEFPICIEMCY Of TUB LAW.
A recent Loudon letter to an Ametlcan law
journal says that legal business In England Is
lubjeted to considerable depression, and is
threatend with something like extinction
managements rates wnicn nave been made up
by outside and ludei endent lufluencea is
tyrannical—it Is agrarian. Worse than the
f >roccss of dismembering an old an honored
nsurance company by dividing up a aurp us
upou which it was working to give cheaper
insurance rates to the public, aud apportion
ing it out in small parcels among tbe public,
is tbo policy of crippling tbe great railroad
service by cutting un their traffic tables. The
publt" does uot realise any benefit; tbe rail
roads are crippled and hampered at every
turn.
The recent report of the railroad commission
of this Stute endeavors to show that the rail
road lawa have prevented outside capitali.-ts
from purchasing Hues already built This is
ouly partly true. The Macon and Brunswick
raifn ad has been secured by the East Tennes
sec syndicate to extend its ssytem to the coast,
for without this link their work would have
been an empty enhrprl-e. The Western aud
Atlantic ana Georgia railroads have passed
largely into the bands of non-real-
dents for similar reasons of com-
phtlug through lines and con
solidating systems. There were purchases
made necessary by the encroochmeut of com
petlng ronds, and do not represent money
■P'nt in actual investment. Tho securities
were bought to couirol tho roads, not for the
dividends of the stock*, and If the scope and
extent of the action of tbe commission could
have been foreseen at that time, these same
railroad managers declare that they would
never hhve tunneled our bills, * ridged our
streams or opened up our prolific country.
And such lawa will prevent the return of capi
tal in the future.
The commlnlon'i report makes it appear
that the lease of the Georgia railroad forfCOO.-
OuO per annum represents a dividend of ovci
14 per cent, on tho capital stock of tbe road,
which la $4,200,010, and that thla enormous
dividend is made aud paid year by year in
spltoof tbe operation of the railroad laws.
Let ns look Into this statement:
The lease of the Georala railroad carried
with It one-third inureal in the Atlanta and
West Point railroad, 87 miles; one-half interest
In the We> tern road of Alabama.138 miles five-
eighths interest in the Home railroad, VO

the lawyers themselves In the settlement of
oommere'al disputes, thla delay is absolutely
nilnoui." These are weighty words, they
have a double force lu thla country,
when one recollects that Lord Coleridge
said, at the close of his American tour, that be
found it “admitted on all sides that the Eng-
Pib courts go faster than yours do here.' The
Pblladepbla Times recently made tho re-
mirkublo statement that among tho lawyers
of that city no. more than one-tenth cleared
over 13.000 a year. It fs my deliberate con vie
lion that unit-** lawyers Increase the efficiency
of legal administration, the probation will be
reduced In ally years to one-third of Its pres
ent number, in Holbein's “Dance of Death"
a gaunt figure hovers over the attorney's ear.
This is but a ghastly prophecy by tbe great
pictorial humorist of that decay of Influen ce
and patronage which awaits tho bar unless lit
igation Is made to meet the basinets demands
of the century.
MISCELLANY.
The nature of title by prescription was well
set forth by Mr. Patterson in an address to the
Jurj last week In which he said that the law.
after long possession, gives a deed to the pos
sessor signed by old father Time himself, and
makes of every passer-by a surveyor to fix its
metes and b -unds This subject has seemed
to evoke legal fancy more than any other topic
of the law, which generally la aadry aa saw
doit without butter. Lord Plunkett beautiful

THREE BLOODLESS BULLETS.
Two Police Officers Bans Away nt Each
Other.
Macon has a good and efficient police force,
but the members are only human and lia 1 le
to err as well aa other people. It is seldom, let
It ho said to their credit, that they forget their
duty ao far as to fight among themselves. Yes*
ttrday morning, however, two of them unfor*
tunately lost sight of the fact that they were
officers, and were principals In sn affair that
escaped Le ng a bloody tragedy by almost!
miracle.
The facta In the matter are about these, so
far aa we are able to get at thtm: Or Thurs
day night officer W. W. Henderson was as
signed to duty in East Macon, and officer Wil
liam Sblrah assigned to the beat embracing
that portion of tue buslnesa part of the city
from Mulberry strict to tbe river. About 3
o'clock Shir ib went to tbe bridge and blew
his whistle, as la the rule, and waited for a rc-
r>ponae from Henderson. Tbe response w»»
never made, or elae it was not heard by Shi-
rah, and he proceeded over the river to see
what was the matter. He found Henderson
in front of Joues's store and a conversation oc-
cured relative to answering the whistle. The
two officers make contradictory statements aa
to the words parsed between them, but in a
short while after they met. Shlrah report
ed to Mr. H. C. Fennel), who was
at home asleep, that he had struck
Henderson a terrific blow. Captain Jim Den
ton was also aroused, and the three went to
look for Henderson 1 hey found him lu a
d*rcd condition and be was shortly afterward
carrcd home.
As Chief Wiley needed all his experienced
officers yesterday, he deferr d any action in
the matter for ‘.he time belugand put the mm
on duty, sending Bhlrah to i ast Macon aud
placing Henderson at the city hall. Ab tit 7
o’clock Henderson saw Shiiah approaching
tbe ball. He then went into the watchman’s
o+ce, and shortly afterward Hhlrab went in
and proceeded to get a belt from bchln t the
door. He was standing near ofilc r Henry,
when suddenly thev taw Henderson approach
“■— ”’*■ * ‘ -* them W
and the report of a pistol was beard. Hender
son then stepped to th»door and fired another
shot, both bullets missing Shlrah and burying
them** Ives in the wooden partition By tbl<
time Shiran bad drawn his pistol, and placing
bis baud around the body of Henry,jiulled
the Digger, but the pistol failed to go off. In a
second the pistol was fired and tbe bail struck
the door facing. Henry and several other of
ficers then caught both men and disaimed
them.
The entire affair was over in an Instant, and
the firing was done so quickly that Henry had
no time to Interfere, ai>d ran a very n-rrow
escape himself from being struck by one of
Uenderson's bullets.
Chief Wlier. on hearing the reports, came
down from his office and told both men to
leave their badges, etc., and go borne, no
then had them docketed for fighting and dis
orderly, an! for shooting in the city He
also swore out warrants for tbe two officers
and in addition their conduct will be inves
tigated by the police committee.
The affair is greatly deplored by Chief Wile;
and tho officers of tne force. Tne men wtl.
be allowed a full hearing, and then the full
facts In the case will be brongb "
Henderson has made a reputa.- - - . . _
a very efficient officer, and bis friends have
been urging him for a lieutenancy on tbe forre.

sentence of the law for the murder of hta sou-
In-law, Romanua F, Perry. In January, tsS2,

GRANT MUST PAY VANDERBILT.
Judament Against Orant for tho Btg
Loan.
A judgment was filed in the county
clerk’s ofll e yesterday by tbe attorneys
of William H. Vanderbilt for tbe sum of
$155,417,20 obtained against General
UJysieiS. Grant. The relations between
tbe two gentlemen are still said to be cf a
most amicable nature, but the strange
history of the loan which tbe judgment
represents is of sucb an interesting nature
as to casPv bear retelling.
Ondjnday. May 4, of this year, just
two days before the collapae of tbe Ma
rine Batjk aud the simultaneous founder*
tngof the firm of Grant & Ward, General
Grant, at the suggestion of Ferdinand
Ward, who Is now enjoving life within the
cold stone walls of Ludlow street jail, call

(Jerbilt and requested 'be loan of $150,000
with which the Marine Bank was to be
aided oyer a temporary difficulty on tbe
following day.
Tbe millionaire generously handed over
a check on the Chemical Bank dated the
doy before. May 3, and the ex*President
promised to return the sum on Monday.
This he attempted to do by sending to Mr.
Vanderbilt Grant & Ward s check on the
Marine Bank, dated that day. With the
check, however, waa a request that it be
not presented for payment until the fol
lowing dav (Tuesday.) on Tuesday the
bank suspended business.
On Wednesday afternoon Mr. Vsnder
biit sent for Gttieral Grant. Though the
nature of the interview was never known,
the General gave assurance from Mrs
Grant that the check would be made good
if her private fortune were equal to it, and
not long afterward the ex President trans
ferred all hit property and Mrs. Grant trans
ferred bera, which included two homes in
Washington, one in Philadelphia, a farm
near 8L u>uls belonging to the General,
their own reeidence, No. 3 Eaat Sixty'
sixth street, and Mrs. Grant's cottage at
Long Braoch, to Mr. Vanderbilt.
The steamer Baltic bore Mr. Vanderbilt
to Europe on the followingSatnrday (May
10.) but before lie was well out to sett tbe re
port was pub iabed that he had returned
the transfer deeds given him by General
Grant, with the remark that be could pay
the amount ot the check at his leisure.
This was understood not to be an absolute
surrender of the claim, but a reminder
that be regarded the debt as one of hon

Assignment In pltteburm*
Fnieacao, December 13.—V. L. Mc
Laughlin, vice-president of the defunct

signment today to J. K. Stee 1 , of Arai-
atrong A Co., for the benefit of hie credi

Pennsylvania Bank.
bis purpose. Tbe reasons that led to bir
conclusion be does not give; be states bis
purpose and ahowa how fixed it is; "I go
bound in the spirit unto Jerusalem.”
"Spirit” here ia clearly not the Holy
Ghost; It la Paul's spirit. Paraphrased, hie
words means; “As a Hrvanjof.God.Igo to
Jerusalem under an Inward necessity, by
compulsion of conscience, a strong and
fixed conviction that 1 ought to go at this
time.”
Tula is not inspiration and such a con
clusion ia not infallibly correct. A sin
cere man may make a mistake aa to hi
only. But It is moetnnltkely tbathe will.
It ia to rare an experience that, aa a rule,
we need never fear to do what we believe
we ought to do. Provided; First, that we
have tasen ail pains to understand the
cate; tecond, that we do not make argu
ments to proJuce a conviction in favor ot
our selfish intereats or ambitions. Paul
had used the means needful in reaching
the right conclusion. He did not decide
grave questions in ignorance of facts; hr
did not decide them on lmpnlae. He waa
a man who thought things through. This
la indispensable, oil It la a slow and very
often a painful process. Paul bad no rea
son tn suspect his motives; hia interests
as men looked at such things, lay the
other way. These were the “bonds and
afflictions that awaited him.”
Ltke enough some of his friends thought
him an obatinate tool. But what would,
by this time, have become of the church
and the world if there h*d not been good
men who held fast by their convticions of
duty? Think of Luthsr flinching at the
Diet of Worms. And recall John Wesley
preaching from his father's tombaton-
when the “church” shut Its doors in his
face.
1 must press this upon your attention
young men; Paul's purpose was not an
opinion aa to policy—1* waa not a determl.
nation growing out of passion; this pur
pose b id Its roots in conscience. It was
what he thought ha ought to do. It waa
the conviction of a thoroughly religious
man—the conclusion of an honest mind
seeking to find the path of duty—of a tin
cere man who prayed tor light and used
hia eyai when the light came to him.
It ia a nice thing here to avoid rational
ism oa tbe one bend end fanatielamon the
other. The man who, trusting bis reason
only, ireks to determine duty without
prayer, leant on a broken reed
that will pierce bit hand; the
man who only preys without
thinking It a fanatic, exposed to the fear
Ini hacurd ot mistaking e mental mood,
date of his nervous system, a pasting Im
pulse, or a strong desire for an impm-
linn of the Holy Ghost. Tbe man who
prays this wav ia apt to find in his heart
tbe kind ot impression be seeks to find,
amt o call It a divine impression. I have
told some ot you of the three young
preachers, who ones end shoot the tame
time consulted Asbury on tha subject ot
omrrisg*. Each man said be bad made
tbe matter a aubiect of prayer and each
man was rare he bed “the mind of the
Unirlt”—hut each one wanted to marry tbe
aatoe roans woman.
Paul prayed aod Paul thought; Pau
thought and Paul prayed.
Preaching aa I am this morning to a con
gregation composed chiefly of young peo
ple, 1 wish to call attention at thla plaoe to
the law of habit aa entering into
the qualities of character M. Paul
revelled on this occasion. Hera la moral
heroism of a very high order; this quality
is not suddenly called into being. He
had been growing into It all these years.
Now and then you imagine yonnelves as
meeting great occ.ai >ne with great strength
of character. Ttia dre.m you may real-
i*e, but’mark what 1 tell you to-day—thl-
quality la not called into existence off
hand. Such qualities are alo.-ed up ener-
giee, they are In the reserved power that
underlies character. You wonder at the
patieut strength of Moses with Israel In
tbe wilderness; he had been in training
forty yean amid the mountains jot Midlan.
You wonder at the grace that sustains
some good people In the hour of bereave
ment ; they have been to the habit of trust
ing to Goa rad of submitting to bis will.
Othen, without such training, you have
seen go down under the nnt strokes
of sorrow. Paul had been to the habit
of deciding questions of duty without
taking side glances at quAtiona of Interest.
It was natural that when he eorely needed
to ace clearly whet bis duty was be saw
Be spoke to character when he said: “I
S ) bound in the spirit unto Jerusalem.”
n this lost lacrameiiUl occasion, in which
I will jpto you iu s relation that I have
sustained for nine years, let me commend
to you flu Pa cl’s example and spirit.
Having made thla allusion I will, this
once, go further in e xplanation ot my mo
tives aod purpo es. I shall say what I
will not repeat elsewhere. Your love to
me creates e right to understand whet I
am about to undertake. The few words
about royaelt that I propose to asy on the
subject of my resignation of theprerldei.cy
of the college, t prefer toeayUua morning,
reth.r than three weeks hence when I
shell turn over its administration to my
■uccetaor, Dr. Hopktoa, a man I honor
highly, love devotedly and trust Implicitly.
1. As to lraviog the active work of ti.e
college. It brings me a keen pang. I never
did ray work that I loved so well; never
again will I be ao placed aa to find a work
that ia auch a delignt, such a passion, such
a fascination aa my work with the Njra
has been. Ae to tbe cofiege. it will suffer
no hurt-.It will be to good bands. Ae to
myself, the time bee come when, lx eons

But it will take full twenty years to ac
compllit what, by divine power, I intend
to try, at Jeaat. to begin, In to far aa one
man can do anything, to accomplish. In
my plana I have nothing beyond thla work
and tbe iaauea that may naturally grow
out of it.
Aa in very many other things, ao here I
am in circomstanrea very different from
fit Panl. I do not expect either "bonds”
or “afflictions " Misapprthrnsion ou the
part of many excellent people, both of my
purposes and motives, I do txpect. For
this I am prepared; miiapprehension la
natural to tbe conditions of my position
and ot the work I propose. Misapprehen
sion will not surprise me and, for the sake
of my neighbors and friends here today,
I add, will not distress me. Some miaap-
prrh-nitons will ariie from Ignorance ot
facte; some from honest difference of
opinion as to what ought io be attempted
for tbe negroes in the 8juth. Theie differ
ence* cannot be harmonised by argument;
these question* must be referred to histo
ry; to history lam willing to refer them.
in conclusion, let me say to you all,who ti
I 'ova better than I love any people
to tbe world: Aa to tbe college
I have done roy beat to build it up aim
n-gtke it uteful. I have had good help
from my brethren and the blessings ot God
upon our joint labors. For all inis I am
grateful to God and thankful to them.
into the other work—the work of trying
to forward the work of “Christian educa
tion among the lately emancipated people”
of the ttonth—I go with alt ray might. I
shall do my beat,leaving results where they
belong-to God. If I shall be to happy in
to accomplish tome rnbstantlel results I
expect of meet of them that they will bi-
apparnet after I am dead and gone, 8uch
work can’t be done rapidly: It never we*
so done; it takes a long time. It ir the
mining not of an Individual but of a race,
and this means the training of generc-
ilnne. It Isa great and difficult work and
I would uot venture Into It If 1 did not see
what to me is the “pillar of clond and of
fire." If here it any work that mutt be
done, and It It very difficult and require*
a long time, It it the mure necessary to be
gin promptly and tolabor diligently.
It is a work that concerns the genera
tions that come alter na; it It a work thst
takes hold on two continents. One man
cannot do mnch; he can only do all In
can. This would be a difficult work if all
the forty.five millions of white people in
this country were Interested to it.
That I may be faithlul I ask the prayer*
of those who love me. I do nut ask you
to pray that I may be successful; my part
la only duty; success is God's. The re
sale I leave to him, trusting absolutely his
promise t - help those who try to do their
duly; that It. who try to do what they be
lieve to be His holy will.
