Col. A, O. Bacpa has been cir
eula'ing around North East Geor -
gia, pressing his candidacy for
Governor, by mingling wiiL the
people. It is rattier a long race
from now until October but we
prefer to see au aspirant come out
openly and tell the people what
he wants than to be electioneering
from the bench as some judges
are in the habit of doing. The
fact is, we are not much iu favor
of the judicial ermine being soiled
by draging through the political
mud holes.
The Macon Telegraph bits the
nail square on the heafl, when it
denounces the practice of Judges
of the buperior court making elec
tioneering pilgrimages throughout
the state on th 6 plea of holding
courts for disqualified Judges. It
lowers the d’gnity of he bench
and opens the door for influential
attorneys and politicians to pres
same on their ciaims upon the of'
ficial who ought to hold ihe scales
of justice even.
The enlighted public sentiment
of the stale condemns this prac
tice, and it would seem that these
inteligent gentlemen would see
the necesity of either retiring
from the bench or, withdrawing
from the race. The old fable of
the dog crossing a stream with a
morsel of meal in his month, may
illustrate the result of an at
tempt to brave public opiuion.
Many of tlia church orgons are
disposed to criticise and depreci*
ate the evangelical work of sach
men as Moody, Jones and other
noted evangelists. Thiy argue
that the established churcnes
and the regular ministry are more
effective than thespasmodic efforts
of these great revivalists.
Thin may be true in some local
ities, but it is also true that there
are a very lag# class, probably a
majority, who never attend divine
worship except where there is a
revival or other exoiteme't How
can a minister reach the people
who do not come to hear him t He
can’t go out into the high ways
and by ways and force them to
come, and ’f this excitement brings
them to the house of God, even
though they come through carios
ity, it accomplishes good, for they
then hear the gospel preached
and many who go away from
ehnrch laughing, have heard a
“word fitly spoken” that will ring
in thetr ears for a week. A song,
or prayer, or simp'e remark may
aome times melt tue hardest siun
ner. We think these organs in ke
a mistake in'attemp'irg to belittle
the work of these good men.
Gainesville seems to have nes'
ling in her bosom a gang of incen

frobably take the matter in hand

THE EXCURSIONISTS.
The commitlee to meet the Ohio
excursionists and invite them to
come to Gwinnett, wer6 in Atlan
ta Friday and interviewed Dr. Es
labrook and some of the hoosiers
but tailed to gtt them to come
ibis way. They had their heads
set on Visiting Sou l horn Georgia
and after looking around Atlanta,
most of them left for Amerious.
Brom that point they will scaster
over South-west Georgia, and on
their return will probably give
this section of the e/ato a call.
GEN. M. C BUTLER.
Gen. Butler, of South Carolina
is rapidly rising to the front »s
the leading Senator from the
South. He is thoroughly posted,
cool, and deliberate, and when tbe
Republicans tackel him they met
a ‘foeman not only worthy of their
steel,’’ but one who scores a victo
rv evsry time. John A. Logan
tackeled him last week on the bill
to airoit Dakota as a state, bui he
soon limped off to give place to
//anison anu others, but they
fared no better at his hands
Sou»h Carolina may well be proud
of her son. He is as great a sue
cess as a statesman as he was as a
soldier.
GOVERNMENT PENSIONS-
It strikes us that tbe pension
business has been carried ioo far
unless they were more equally
aud justly distiibuted. Pensions
are given as a reward for Merito
ious Service, and to protect the
soldier and his family from want,
when he has risked h.s life iu de
tense of tbe honor of his court ry
This is rignt. U is the du yof
the government to care for her
disabled soldiers and thair fami
lies, and is in accordance witi ihe
established custom of nations.
Rut there should be no descrim
tnarions made between (he tsith
ful soldiers of one war over an
other. If tbe men wbo fought
“rebels" are entit ed to pensi- us,
upon whit principal are the sol
diers who fought Indians or 101-.
lowed the flag through Mexico,
risking their lives io win territory
and bring luster and renown upon
the flag of their country, not en
titled to share in the bounty that
uas been so lavishly bestowed for
the last twenty yaam-t
Nearly every congtees that as
sembles adds to the pension list
and in the name of patriotism,
hisbounntyis used for paitizm
purposes and mere appears to be
no end to the demands of the men
who fought in the late civil wap.
Already sixty five millions of dol
lars are annually paid to these
soldieis from the public treasury
aud we see it sta ed that a nil has
passed 'he present House appro
priating $6,000,000 more.
S-uthern Represet tat.'ves, who
have the charge daily flaunted iu
their faces that they are disloyal
‘o the governin' nt, have stood
i here year after year aud voted
for pension bills to “loyal troupe,”
while the parly, then dorminant
iu pi wer, psrbistei tly refused to
allow a siugle dollar to go to the
Mexican ve erans, sixiplj because
x large number of them were
Southern men.
Thousands as Southern soldiers
left their homes as volunteers and
tollowed Scott and Taylor through
the numerous battles that proceed
the capture of the city of Mexico.
No mote gallant men were ever
deployed upon a field of battle
and the glory cf our arms was the
pride of the country. Nearly
thirty years have elapsed, while
the survivors have urged and beg
ged that justice should be done
them. Not »ne tenth of these
gallant men are now livirg, and
ytt the little pittance they ask, is
refused while millions are poored
out of Ihe treasury on drafted
men, substitutes and bummers.
Is it not about time for Sou'h
ern Democrats, at least, to refuse
to support any pension bill, which
does not include the soldiers who
fought in the Indian wars and on
the plains of Mexico! We did
not expect justice from the Repub
licans, who used this bounty to
perpetuate their parly in power
but we oid expect (hat a Democrat
ic House would ' see that justice
was done to the old soldiers before
an other raid was made ou the
treasuary in behalf of soldiers who
were alirady drawing a pension.
A Democratic Senator is report
|ed as saying : “Oh, don’t go for
open sessions about appoinlments
You don’t know what you are do
ing. The thing is too filthy—we
Senators have oftea had to hold
our noses to keep from g6ttiDg
sick at the the 6/omach iu execu
tive sessions. Don’t for Heaven’s
sake ask to have this whole lead
of dirt dumped ou the public.’’

GUILTY OF MURDER.
The case of the state against
Whitehead, who killed Hardeman
last year, in Oconee county, came
to an ending yesterday at Wat
kin sville, by the jury returning a
verdict of “murder in the first de
gree.’’ Tbe opinion of those best
informed was that he would not be
found guilty of mutder, but vol*
untary manslaughter. The case
was ably managed on both sides
Col. T. W. Rucker, who has made
a reputation hs a criminal lawyer,
did not introduce any evideace
but the sta ement of tbe prisoner.
Whitehead’s wife sat by him durs
ing the trial, with a little babe
sleeping quietly in her arms-
She is a remarkably pretty woman,
and elicited tt» deepest sympathy
of all. IFhen the jury filed into
i heir sects, and rendered iheir ver
dict of “guilty of murder in the
first degree" she wept as though
her heart would break, A motion
for a new trial has been made and
witl be argued before Judge
Hutchins next week at Jefferson
court.
Sentence was passed ou the
criminal yesterday evening. The
Judge s ated that this was the
fifth time that it had fallen bis du
ty to pass the senience of death ; i
he sympathized deeply wiib the [
relatives of the prisoner. The
scene was a very affecting one
There were Wtitehead’s wife and
little child leaning on his bieast ;
the g>ay haired old fattier would
come in thp co rt house, look at
Los son for a few moments, and
then, when overwhe raed with
grief, he would rusn out of 'he
court JJonse and shed bitter tears
The Judge himself was deeply
moved, and all present expresset
their sympathy either by words or
tears for the unfortunate ones
When the Judge commanded
Whitehead to stand up, he did so,
but had to be assisted by two bai
liffs, who stood on each side He
cried bitterly, and seemed to be
as weak as a 'oabe. There were
mano words of sympathy express
ed for the wife and child. Wh'te
head was sentenced to pay the pen
alty of the law on the 26tb day of
March between the horns ot 10
and 11 o’clock He was brought

Gen. David Hunter, who has
just died, was the man who issued
the emancipation proclamation
freeing the negroes iu Georgia
and South Carolina. He was
president of t l 'e court martial
which convicted Fitz John Porter,
and of the military court which
condemned Mrs. Surratt. Yet,
strange to say, he died in his bed
in pi ce of his boots.

DULUTII.
Two schools are in progress in
our town at present, both kept by
ladies and both well attended, we
believe. Mrs. L. L. Scoggins has
charge of one and Miss Mary Le
noir the other.
Mr. Reese McMillan’s new brick
store is still empty. One or two
parties have seemed anxious for it,
but they consider the amount of
rent asked entirely too heavy.
Mr. McMillian doubtless knows
his own business best, but some
of the “wise heads” say it would
surely be better to fall in the fig
ure than to let the building re
main unoccupied.
Air. Roberts, the energetic pro
prietor of our new Plow Manufac
tory, is enlarging his business. He
has succeeded by hard lieks in
building up a good trade, and we
hope bis must sanguine expecta
tions will be realized.
The two M. D.’s of our town,
both clever, popular gentlemen,
still preserve a neat, serene and
encouraging smill upon their faces
in spite of the fact that the whole
town and vicinity seems in a “dis
tressingly healthy” condition at
present.
No serious case of sickness re
ported anywhese, only a few at
tacks of measles in the country
arouud, which are “peppering”
old and young alike. A photo
grapher wmuld stand no chance
whatever, among the patients at
this place.
No symptoms of a matrimonal
fever of anykind among the young
people at present. .We suppose
the recent “cold snap” has quite
frozen up all ardent tendencies iu
Hymen’s direction, and it will
take the genial balmy spring time
to thaw them out again.
Miss Clara Jones, a charming
young lady from Norcross, is on
a visit to friends here, and the
boys have increased theie stock of
smiles accordingly. We notice
that our friend C. F. M., has on
his most sestet,ic countenance beau
tifier, which is warranted not to
fade.
Business, which had all the hot.
tom knocked out of it during the
late blizzards is taking a decided
upward tendency and our mer
chants seem happy.
Mr. 11. Strickland, Jr., has in
creased his business considerably
during the last few months, so
much in fact that he has found it
necessary to employ a new sales
man. The gentleman, in question
is Mr. Ed. Harrell, of Forsyfh, Co.
And what he dosen’t know about
the handling of dry goods and
general merchandise isn’t worth
knowing, so the girls say—hut
never mind now just v\ hat the
girls do say.
Mr. W. H. Crenshaw, one of
our most popular and prosperous
merchants, has recently purchased
the building next door to the old
P. 0., which he has fitted up both
as a store and a residence. He
carries one of the freshest and
most tempting stocks in jown, and
the drummers say Crenshaws
sparkling apple juice is “hard to
beat.”
Our wide-awake and energetic
friends, Messrs Pittard <fc McKen
ney, are perfecting arrangements
with the R. & D. R. R, for the
shipment of fire wood to the Gate
City. One thing is certain when
the solid old oak and hickory logs
of Duluth put in their claim to
patronage then sombody’s busi
ness will tumble faster than a col.
lasped balloon. We wish our
friends the richest success in their
venture.
Our merchants are begining to
shake their heads dubiously over
the question of “time rations”. As
many of the old scores still remain
unchalked, the outlook isn't by any
means favorable.
In spite of the unfavorable con
dition of the roads our farmers
are busy bringing iu their seeond
shipment of cotton.
Messrs Lowe <& Knox seem to
be driving a thriving trade.
Mr. H. Mathies still holds his
own as the champion cotton buyer-
If he ever feels the effects of an
unfavorable busines presence, the
downward tendency of the market
able value of the fleecy staple, his
smiling contenance never admits
it.

SPEI 1 L ANNO UEMENT-
It is commonly reported that the Georgia School f Language, Science and
is very much th- largest ratione d school, and it-i iruetors the most progr
ive teachers in this section. The facts fully substun ite Ibis assertion.
The growth nl the school and tb« changes ind o i d by, ar.d necessary to
oresi'ut fl unishing condition have not come sudden.i nr by accident. They
res Ited rather Irom persistent adherence to certain principles, the correct tit
which seem now to b<? reasonably well established.

old fogies, of teaching on! by r.. :md r .. pupp. ts and parrots out of thei
pupils and dupes out of tlc-ir patrons, .
SECONDLY,
We bare always strenously opposed the promiscuous herding togtthTr of boys
end girls. Oars is the only school in the comity that has separate oi i! • and fe
tralc departments. Some schools claim that it rein*s the boys to hire them as
