We hare before alluded to needed changes in our jury Liw in ielation to criminal eases. The whole secret ot the a cquittal of notorious criminals lies in tlie fact that the number of perempto FROM MUDDLE GEORGIA. Editor Home Journal:— Since my last aiticle on the 24th of June, we have been visited with nice rains all over the county except the , , P f ‘ north-eastern portion, which has bard- ry challenges allowed a piisouer enables ... , , ~ , J a 1 ly had enough to run off a house him to get two-thirds of the jury of jn?t the class of men he wants. The State and prisoner should have an equal num ber of challenges, anu the tales jurors should be drawn liy the court and not be left to the selection of partisan sheriffs. TJnder the law so modified it would be hard for a man accused of murder to get a majority of his perso nal friends on the jury, whether lie had ibe sympathy of the summoning officer or not. The people are getting arous ed, and if the laws are not better en forced Lynch 1 iw will be inaugurated in many portions of the State. God forbid such a thing, and the necessity for it. The Gibson Case, A Washington dispatch states that the prominent republican leaders have re- B0 lved that one hundred thousand dollars shall be raised for the campaign iu Ohio by assessing the employees of the Gov ernment. The Sunny South is competing with the Police Gazette. ■ It publishes por traits of the late Prince imperial, also of Sam Hill, his wife and paramour, J. B. Simmons, who was killed by Hill. Bather steep for a high pressure, refined literary paper. Strong drink is the curse of Africa, according to Mr. McKay, Missionary of the American Board. “Go where you will,” he says, ‘yon will find every night when grain-is.plentiful, every man, wo man and child reeling with the effects of alcohol. The. legislature had better let the Col- quitt-Hill-Murpliy embrolio chap. The people don’t want several more thous and dollars spent iu that matter, and its further agitation will not benefit the political prospc cts of any of the parties involved. A body of armed men broke the jail at Fayetteville on FrisJny night and took possession of Neal Winship, negro, who was committed for an attempted rape upon the niece of Dr. Dodd. The par ty carried the wretch about four miles distant and hung him to a tree. The death is announced at Hot Springs, Ark., of George Sennott, the well-known Boston lawyer who volun teered to defend Captain John Brown when he was tried fer his Harper’s Fer ry raid. »-o-« Lord Benconsfield is credited by a Vienna paper with taking a curious di nt. It declares that he lives exclusive ly on eliampaignc jelly, which he takes thrice daily. Each meal costs 515, as each jelly takes six bottles of wine. Mr. Edison ueeds a laTge amount of platinum forlris electric lamps. The supply is limited. The Wizard of Men lo Park begins at the foundation and offers 520,000 for the discovery of a platinum mine of reasonable extent in fhis country. There is a good prospect that some of the prospectors will gain the reword. Atlanta and Hacon have been spec ulating in wheat and meat futures, and have found out that it won’t do to buck against the Chicago ring. Take warn ing from the candle fiy when the bright glare of speculation dazzles your eyes. Wheat futures are about as uncertain as cotton. Has a lunatic any rights, or claims oU humanity which the Legislature is bound to respect? If so, instead of wasting, the extra session in nninipor tant matters, let it make an appropria tion to provide room in the rsylum for the sixty odd unfortunates who are now sweltering and dying in the jails of Georgia.- — The yellow fever has again broken out in Memphis, and there has been three deaths and several cases. Some ten thousand of the citizens have left, and a quarantine against Memphis has been declared by. several cities in infec tions districts. The board of health declared the cases sporadic and not like ly to spread, but the news causes the most serious apprehensions wherever the fever is likely to take a foothold. The Democratic party of the Union was never more solid than at present. There are no breaches. Harmony reigns in its councils and its ranks. It has united upon the great principle of free election?. Its missiou is to per petuate the republic by sweeping from the statute books all laws that threaten the existence of ou>- present government al system. Until that is accomplished the republican hope of Democratic di visions will not be fulfilled-—Savannah He tcs. GibsoD, who murdered Goldman in Macon last fall while frenzied with drinking, has been acquitted by a Bibb county jury, and the better people with the exception of a few friends, are just ly indignant. There is serious talk of organizing a secret band of regulators in Macon to deal with such cases. That will be-resorted to, if courts and juries continue thus to trifle with justice, but it should be the last resort. At pres ent we hope the people will content themselves with following our advics of last spring: “Carry a good pistol and don’t hesitate to use it on the first ruffi an or drunkard that assaults yon.” It is reported that there were four men on the Gibson jury who had been guilty of homicide. Whether that is so or not, the verdict is a license to murder, and it is well for every good citizen to think serioi s’y over the usual farces made of criminal trials where the charge is mur der. Legal Advertising.—A proposition is before the legislature to regulate the le gal advertising of the different counties in the State by requiring the county of ficials to let out their advertising to the lowest bidder ^ This is right .and prop er, and we hope the bill will become a law, with proper restrictions as to circu lation and location of the competing pa pers. It wifi doubtless secure a great reduction iu charges,— in many coun ties where comi e.ition is sharp making the advertising fees merely nominal, It will also make the newspapers more independent of county officials, and do away with many evils that now pre vail. «OS>-£» Urged to do so by the inflammatory harriiDgnc of an emissary from the North, the negroes of Walker county held a meiting and determim cl to re fuse to work for less than one dollar and a half a day. The LafayelteMessenger thus tells how the strike ended: “A citizen of this place made a trip to the cove last week, and informs us that ho passed, on the way there and back, eight squads of harvest hands, number ing from six to eighteen each, and on inquby he found that the darkies had been acting upon the resolution passed at their meeting at this place, and had bad been asking one dollar and fifty cents perday, and refused to work for less, consequently white men had been employed at one dollar a day to do the work, which has always been the cus tomary price in this county. And thus ends the first strike in wages in this community.” The attempt to abolish the State Ag ricultural Department has failed in .the large gatherings, legislature, The department is said to cost the State 575.000 a year. If that be so, we move it be abolished. We want the legislature abolished every'year or two for the same reason. Friend Davis is pushing a bill through the legislature to make banks and trust companies forfeit both principal and interest when they charge usury Friend D. is down on usurers. But if his proposition is good for the banks, why not for individuals? The papers that are loudest in tbeir fulsome flattery of officials, get many nice morsels of advertising. Let us tickle each other. The power of prayer is shown in wkatr occurred in New York not long since. A young lady who had been paralized for four years, so that she could not move any of her limbs, sur prised tho family by walking into the parlor a few days ago. Since that she has been gradually regaining her strength and flesh. She attributes Iier remarkable cure to her unceasing pray ers, ard since her recovery she has bad Jjf tho Legi slatnre wants to reliev Grant- and Nutting from ex-Trcasnrer Jones’ bond, let the members deduct the amount from their per diem. We have no doubt it will lay the petition for re lief on the table in short order, but should it pass the bill it will be held re sponsible by the people for endorsing Jones’ misdoings. Let the amount due be collected and applied to the enlarge ment of the lunatic asylum. The result of the vote iu Bockdale county, last week, on the question of abolishing fences for crops and fencing stock instead, was the same as we sup pose it will be wherever indiscriminate voting on the question is allowed. The consolidated vote for the county stood —Fence 53S, No Fence 368—a majori ty for fence at each precinct. We have always heard it said that a snake could net biie whilst under water, bntit seems from the following from the Dublin Gazette that is not tlie case “a. negro bov. twelve years old, living on Judge Wolfe’s plantation, a few miles from town, while in bathing last Saturday felt something bite his foot, and on reaching down felt a large.moc- casin. ' He was taken home and re mained deathly sick until Monday morning, when he died. In some parts of Southern Georgia the funnels have despaired of making anv corn crop, and are catling the the ministers to rrny for the cure of ■ stalk for forage. Caus”, too intu.li others that are afflicted as she was. i droulh. since planting time. Tneie will be, I snppose, from the looks of corn now, a half crop made on uplands. The bottoms are all right.— On the uplands the fodder is burnt np over half way up the slalk. Some of our farmers say their crops are fine although il has been so dry,— cotfon small for the time of the year. Notwithstanding the dry weather, it is very pleasant in the day and more so at night. We are not troubled with that awful .little pe3t that you have down in Houston, that comes around your ear and calls you “cousin” when yon are crazy to get to sleep. Entonton is the county side of Put nam county, a very pretty and thriving little place, and has a population of about 1500 inhabitants. There is a considerable amount of business done in the place by the mer chants with the farmers. Ajjreat many of our farmers have at last got to the place where they can pay cash for what they buy. They have come to the con clusion that it is better to do without than to go in debt. The stores are mostly new, having been built of brick since the lastburning. The people here have suffered great losses since the war by the works of incendiaries. I find several people up here from Southwest Georgia. Two of our most most prominent lawyers are from S. W. Ga. Our little neighborhood had quite a nice time on the-3rd inst. at Opposi tion Academy. The programme for the occasion was speeches, compositions, di alogues, charades, and ended with about a dozen babies crying. We have a place up here by the name of Devil's Half-Acre. The way it got such a pretty name, so I have been told, is this: Years ago it was danger ous for a man to go to the place, for if he did not get killed, he certainly would get a flogging before he left. A Ken tuckian once rode tw enty miles out of his way just to see the place. Some one asked him just before lie got there if he was not going to spend the night at the Acre. His reply was, “No, not fer every mule in this drove.” Said he, “I heard about this place before I left home, and have ridden twenty miles out of my way with this drove of mules just- to see the place.” Since then it has been filled with nice people and ev erything passes off quietly, and it can now be visited with safety. We are to have a Sunday School cele bration this week at Opposition Acade my, if nothing turns up to prevent. Oar anticipation is it will be a grand success. The people up here make me think of the people of old Houston in ante-bellum days—that is tbeir disposi tion and inclination to live sociable and happy, were they able to do so without going in debt. The rich and the poor mingle together, it makes no difference here, so you are respectable and hon est. Labor is plentiful, and as a gen eral thing the farmers control it very well. They offer such wages as they feel able to pay, and when Christmas comes Cuffie is ready to hire again. As a general tiling the negroes have some money all along through the year.— They keep it from Christmas until the summer so they can dress and go to the They try to excel each other in dress. There will not be muc h fruit in Mid dle Georgia this year, owing to the late frost that came in April, I snppose. We have had some few melons. If nothing happens, in the coursa of a week or so they will be plentiful, I hope that Houston will make good crops this year, and her people will once more be independent. Yours truly, Segdoh, Entonton, Ga., July 8th, 1879. PARAGRAPHS. People read short paragraphs nowa days and feel that they scarcely have lime to tead so Htuch. Wherefore?— Civilization begets both avarice and ex travagance, and the sons and •daugh ters of this generation must hurry up, or get left, or both. Also civilization begets opinions as unlike as avarice aud extravagance. Young civilization on the frontier lynches a lior*e-tbief and tolerates a bully. Old and elegant civilization Id New England abhors all grades of hom icide (away from home especially}, and produces the most expert thieves cn eaith. Probably—as appearances indicate-^ thieves, in some instances, adopt their profession because it places them in the line of promotion, and the practice of it prepares them for the customary functions of .policemen and detectives. There’s nothing like a proper early training. A Georgia planter ought to get elea: onl of debt and stay out, even if he has to work pretty hard and endure some privations. It would be easier, cheap er, and altogether better to keep up than to keep one year behind. Inter est is high enough, it seems, to turn the heads of zealous law-makers, hut verily the interest on money is a trifle compared with the enormous usury on corn and meat. Within the observa tion of the writer a substantial farmer needed certain supplies; the lowest time prices of which aggregated 5210. He borrowed the money, and by paying cash for the eoods saved 540 over and above the interest. He was advised to this course by a business man who thinks a legislator unwise, not to say silly, who insists that money shall be legally hampered while merchandise is free to do its worst. Many borrowers are responsible for usury, just as the whisky buyers are responsible for the liquor trade. Half tho w orld can’t see it, although to think rationally is just as easy as to think otherwise, if the thinker is only willing. Men could have much better sense than they seem to have if they only wanted to. They prefer to let others think for_them, and are fools from pure laziness. Some brains are as essentially inert a sa bladder of putty.

The passage was difficult. Six hundred English miles were forced through the heavy drift and ground ice. The Sumter Republican says that an old negro woman who has been living out near or on Mr. O, A Crittenden’s place for eight or niue years, died on Friday the 4th instant, at the advanced age of 104 years. She has been living with her sod, and went by the name of Mary Crawford. She was born about the year 1774 or ’75, and bas lived 1 mg life, probably working for old rnassa or old missus until freedom was thrust upon her by the resnlts of the late war. After that- she has been ta ken care of by those with whom she lived. She worked hard up to the day she was taken siek, and would walk regularly to church two miles off and return.
