Thc I). Kalb Xcwx in speaking of
the candidates for President seems
to think Tilden has no bold on any
politicians or newspaper men except
those who arc susceptible to pecun¬
iary influences. Wo have nut the
d da at hand to calculate the extent
ol Mr. Tilden’s pecuniary basis.
We guess, however, it would cover
a iarge area, if lie has made prop, r
use of the amount for which he sold
out to the Bads,, in 1870 . The
uhovo mentioned journal in, the
same article says, “If the people
sutler the machine politicians In dic¬
tate the delegates to the National
Convention, at Cincinnati, Tilden
will bo nominated and beaten, but
if they arc alive to their interest and
si loot their own delegates, they can
nominate an honest man and elect
him.” Wc hope our people will be
“alive to their interest" and elect
men to the National Convention
who will stand above Tilden’s nr any
man’s pecuniary basis. We want
nun wlm will stand on a patriotic
basis—a basis made of sterner stuff
than anything Tilden has.
THE SAM H1I.I. CASE.
The following editorial, from the
Cartcrsville h'rprext, expresses our
sentiments so well on the subject
that wo give it space in our columns:
After many long hours of anxious
waiting, poor Sam llill has heard
his doom. “Let tho judgment be
affirmed,” says the Supremo Court,
Wo have carefully read tho de¬
cision and must say that wo regard
it as an able, sound and impartial
exposition of the law. But we have
never doubted and do not now
doubt, that Hill ought to have a
ne w trial, yea, that he ought never to
lmve been convicted. By this we
mean to cast no reflection upon
either the court or the law, but wo
do mean to place our condemna¬
tion Upon the inhuman fiends who
confederated for the purpose of per¬
verting justice and swearing away
the liberty and the life of this man.
Hill may have, and doubtless did,
violate tho law, but is there no cx
cuselorhiin? are there no mitigat¬
ing circumstances connected with
this case? His wrongs were griev
ous wrongs—wrongs which poor
human nature is scarcely able to
bear, lie did no wore tlym any
other man who loves his wife, and
lias the manly courage to protect
her, would have done under the
same circumstances. But it is use¬
less to recount the wrongs which he
lias suffered, or to speak of the justi¬
fication of his acts. Hill stands to¬
day a convicted felon—doomed to a
“living death”—remediless so far as
the law is concerned. But wo are
glad to know that there is one thing
in Georgia, that is above the techni¬
calities of the law. and that is the
uill of (ht people. Tlris case calls
loudly for executive clemency, ami
we believe ere long Sam Hill will
walk forth from prison a free inau. •

Hi: WANDEUS AWAY INTO SOLITTDE.
After printing a fearful cut of a
dreary forest, tlio trees assuming
gigantic forms of human beings, a
lone minstrel with his banjo st.ung
and a lean, lank dog following its
master through this wildwood—but
its no use, we can’t describe it
Reader, if you wish to see this
picture, call at our office. This
is what the Harlem Columbian says
of us:
“This cut was furnished us by
Brother Uixon—with the request
that we would give him a notice
when he started his paper—just be¬
fore he wandered off into this dreary
wild with the avowed purpose of
establishing a newspaper. It is
doubtless a perfect picture, gotten
up by a special artist, of the locality
in which he lias located. The first
number of his paper, the Watkins
viUe Advance, published at Wat¬
kinsville, Oconee county, reached
us Sunday, bearing date of March
10 . It presents a creditable appear¬
ance and we hope the boys will
meet with abundant success—and
they will, we guess, if they don’t
meet with the wolves supposed to
inhabit the “bowling wilderness.”
Well things do present a jolly aspect
to begin with, and wo hope the
boys —Messrs. Uixon <lt Sullivan,
editor? publishers and proprietors
’oin just as cheerful as
in this picture.’’
