He is an able man, true and honest. * 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. • AMON3 OUR EXCHANGE3. W;.,t the Press of the State Says of Os.

We wish the Advance abundant success.— Alliens Chroni¬ cle, The first number of the Watkins¬ ville Advance is before us, and is a spicy sheet.— 0>jltthorpe Echo. 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.
