Some lime ago a carriage in which Miss Ellen Bradley was ridipg, ran over p pile of dirt in one of the streets of Marietta, ftnd was overturned and the young lady injured. She sued the city for five thousand dollais clam- ftges and recovered two hundred and i and all costs. Information has beep received at thp .Wav Departmept in lyasbipgton to the effect tliaji Sitting Bull and iris warriors are shqjring an ugly and an insnbordi- ijijjtg disppsiton, and threaten trouble as tlio spring advances. The strength of the f}ip t d is estimated at 7,Q00, of ‘which 2,500 «V8 jvpli arpied and ‘•quipped. The.facility With which the perpetra tors of heinous crimes escape the penal ty of the law is causing a dis cussion of the question as to ho w the peaceable, * law-abiding people of the country are to be protected against the drunken desperadoes, especially those who may hav.e wealthy or influential friends to uudertake their defense. It seepis tp be a well established fact tliat a man may be shot down in the streets without auy justification or provova- tion, and yet his murderer cannot be convicted of the oflense, no matter how many witnesses may be present, or how brutal the crime may have been. Tbe facts may be given in evidence and not a doubt of tbeir truth expressed,—the charge of the judge may be able and unequivocal, yet a jury of upright and intelligent men may have tbejr yiesys of justice so warped, or their sympathies so operated on, that ten out of twelve of them may be in favor of a verdict of virtual acquittal, a verdict that wpuld shortly le.t loose upon the community the very murderer whose crime had just filled it with horror and iudigatjon. Certainly this looseness of juries can not be attributed tp tl^e approved senti ments of. the people, for public opinion expresses itself with no uncertain sound. The fault is-with our criminal law—the principle that binds justice hand and foot, and epens to the guilty every loop hole of escape. It is a false doctrine often liaiped upon in criminal trials, that “it is better for ninety and nine uilty mpp tp escape, Mian that one in noctnt man sbqnkf be punished,” and it seems that all the machinery of th.e law is set to work to help the niiiety- nine guilty to escape, while the inno cent victim whose life’s lilood cries justice is entirely forgotten- How well was this fallacy met by Judge Lump kin, when he said, “The ninetv aud nine guilty meu have already escaped and it L time to put a stop to this cursed principle.” Based on this dangerous and false maxim is file law that’allows the prison er a much larger number of peremptoiy ehalleDges than the State. This gives liis counsel the power of always getting a certain class of men on tbe jury to suit his case, and how often have we seen jurors objec f ed to merely because they were honest, firm, law-abiding cit izens. who would be sure to keep the oatji “a true vprdict to give according £o thp lpw and the evidence.' 1 What great uh'.un has the criminal class on the country that the outraged law should itself haste to give every fa cility to escape its penalry ? It is a pernicious provision that man shall be tried by a lury of his peers, for the peer of the criminal is the criminal. 4-” sbouljl bo tried by just and intelligent jurors, apd the law should not allow a criminal, however innocent he inay be sentimentally pre sumed to be, to sort oqt and reject all just and intelligent jurorp. The law on the subject of murder seems to pp too clear to be misunder stood, but the refinements of criminal practice have made the Code and Su preme Court reports almost a nullity. Xhejre are prominent and able lawyers who can scarcely believe there is such thing as murder, unless—tL>ey are em ployed for the prosecution; aud it may not be much wondered at that manv Bob Hart, the negro minstrel, who I sassins. has become a worker in the temperance cause, gives King Alcohol credit for 'j n'st one thing in bis case.

Diseased pprk, as usual, was at the bottom of the mis chief. Doubtless Mr. Hayes thought he would patch the Democrats papping when he called an extra session Congress to meet so short a time after the expiration of the last one. Proba bly if the cipher telegrams of the re publipans for'this month could be pro cured, they would expose a deep laid scheme to ele et Gaifield speaker by a brilliant dash coupled with their dis honest tricks. But it is not as easy for their plaus of usurpation to be carried out now that they are unable to protect fraud by force. So both houses of con gress .vere organized with Democratic officers, excepting of course, Hr. Wheelerwho is ex-officio President of the Senate. In the Democratic caucus nojnination for speaker of the Bouse, Randall who h is already bean speaker through two congresses, beat Blackburn, of Ken tacky and Caldwell; and in the organi zation he was elected over Garfield, Radical, apd Wright and Kelley, Green- backers. The Radicals seem to take their loss of power in both houses as kindly as could :be expected’ under the circum stances, after twep'y years full lease of power, but no doubt, j£ey ggish then- teeth furiously in private. Both Dr. Felton and Mr. Speer go into the Democratic caucuses and’ aef with the Democrats on all political anestions, making the Georgia delega tion practically solid. ^u|; little has yet been done, and the 'appropriation bills, to pass which the exfra'aession wti» called, will hang fire for some fime unless Hayes will con sent i|>e repeal of gt least a portion of the obnoxous election Taws hy which the Radicals attempted to destroy the the freedein pf the baiiot in the south.

The Crawfordville Democrat is about to nominate Gov. Jos. E. Brown, Gov. Ilenchel V. Johnson, and Hon. W. H. Fi 1 on for Governor at the approaching election—that is when it does eventual ly approach. We admire this broad and wholesale way of cloipg the busi- pess. Rev. Dr. Teasedale is conducting an interesting meeting at Thomasville.— He is a minister of rare ability, perse verance, spirit aud power; but h.e has one or two little fanjts that take somer what frem his usefulness, and some good brother ought to tell him plainly what they are. Two dashing female tramps are going over the State, riding on the railroads, putting up at the best hotels, and rifling around the pities in parriages. Peca- sionally they haul a hundred or two dollars out of some confiding yonug man. “Beware, oh, beware.” SEED TIME. The intelligent newspapers have nearly finished planting another very large crop of corn. The vigilant farm ers have bought ft large number, of mules; intending to save the precious grain from weavilp. The abundant snpply of corn pro duced last year by the newspapers, seems to have been shelled and shipped in order to avoid the wpavils. After a prolonged rape ftgaiust the verpain, it is now returning by way of Tennessee in a merchantable condition. The original Georgia shippers are of course unable to identify the particular lots produced by individuals. Bnt this is no : mate rial. They simply pay freights all around the circle aud take such lots as are handy. This may be cheaper than to buy it outright, and almost as cheap as to make it in the ground rather than in the newspapers, but the calculation is difficult, and will be made at another time or later. The demand for this traveled corn is good. Now if the planters wish tp rival the newspapers fts producers of corn they have only to do one particular thing.— They.have perhaps unwisely bought the usual supply of gnauo, but the error can be turned to account. Let them apply it all to their com lands, and only give their cotton a proper culture. By this simple method they will be able, without extra labor or expense, to make considerably less cotton, and so obtain proportionally more money fQr it. Tbe further advantage of having no corn to buy cannot now be appreciated, inas much as it has never been experienced under tlie new regimi. The planters are admonished, by one who wishes them well, and deplorts alike their ill luck and their folly, not to let their colt-on get a sipgle sniff of guapp, whatever pice happens. Their disposition tp take good advice has been so of teg and so generally exemplified in the past, there is certainly no reason to diitrast them now. Domino. j ’ Ceu.
