GRAND JURY PRESENTMENTS.
bnder a decision of the Supreme
court, oounty authorities are prohib
ited from paying for the publication
of the general presentments of the
grand jury. This arbitrary law should
bo repealed. It is a local matter over
which the proper county authorities
should have jurisdiction. If tho grand
jury recommend the publication of
their presentments and the Ordinary
or County Commissioners are willing
to pay for tho same, why should there
be a general law to prevent them?
It is a matter that should be loft to
tlie sound discretion of tho people in
terested. The county authorities
should liavo the power to publish or
not, and contract for this work as
they do for any other necessary or
desirable work demanded by the pub
lic. Let tho press call upon thoir
Representatives for suitable legisla
tion on tho subject.
Carejeisnsis.
It is bad enough when a train is
ditched, goes through a trestle, or
collides with another and results in the
death of one person*or fifty-that may
be unavoidable, or the result of care
lessness. If carelessness, the railroad
authorities have to pay heavy dam
ages. But why any passenger on
a train should lose his life
by his own carelessness is passing
strange; but it happens nearly every
day. How often do we see people
stand on the outside of the train, per
haps on a side track, whicli is dan
gerous, and wait there until* the last
cbach reaches him, then run to it,
grab the railing, and jump on. Some
times they miss the steps and fall un-
►der tile wheels and are killed. Then
again, how often do we see women,
having a friend or friends leaving, go
into a car, and talk to their depart
ing friends until the train begins to
move, then rush for the door and
platform and in their haste and ex
citement, jump off, any where, so as
to get off, and fail and are hurt, or
killed. Such people, hurt or killed,
are the unfortunate victims of their
own carelessness.
JOHN T. CLARKE KILLED.
THE ELECTORAL VOTE.
Perhaps there was not a man in
the United States who ever imagined
that the electoral vote, for the Presi
dency, would be stolen as it was in
the case of Hayes who was fairly and
clearly beaten for that high office by
Mr. Tilden, in 1877. This furnislieB a
precedent for a similar theft under
peculiar circumstances in the future.
A certain cure and preventive would
be found in deciding the contest by
letting tho election be decided by the
popular vote. If that had been the
rule, Mr. Cleveland would now be
tlie President instead of General Har
rison for he obtained nearly, if not
quite a hundred thousand votes of the
popular franchise, more than General
Harrison. Wiint wrong or improprie
ty would there be in such a change?
This was made a people’s govern
ment nnd as such the will of a major
ity of tlie people of the Uniteil
States should decide the contest. In
the case of Tilden and Hayes, the
former received an immensely larger
majority of the popular vote than the
latter. The theft of the Presidency
in a quarter of a century, if no other
similar example shall arise, will, with
the Republican accounts and tradi
tions of that foul and ilAgrant plot,
make a story that will be unintelligi
ble to the people living then. If the
election, in 1884, favorable to tlie
Democratic party had been decided
by tlie popular vote, Mr. Cleveland
would now be President and no wrong
would be done to tlie Republican [ who only expected disappointments,
party, for lie' would have been the j He also took a hand in tlie deal be-
people’s choice; by a hundred thou-i tween the National republican com-*
.and majority of their votes. What i
lias been done may be attempted jt enhanced liis reputation as o-ffoli-
again, and who can doubt that repub- 1 tician, caused him to be more or lest
lican frauds would be resorted to, un- harshly criticised by a large number

Smithvillk, July 22—Hon John
T. Clarke, judge of the Pataula cir
cuit, residing at Cnthbert, met a hor
rible death here to-day, about S
o’clock. He was enroute from Cuth
bert to Macon and got off here, as his
train waited two hours for the Jack
sonville mail. The train from Macon
arrived on time and waited twenty
minutes for dinner. Judge Clarke,
with several iriends walked over to the
artesian fountain in tlie center of the
town, and just before tlie westbound
train left lie entered tlie train and
was engaged in talking to Mrs,
Gunn.
JUDGK CLARKE’S FATAL DELAY.
While so engaged the train started,
For some reason he remained on the
train until it had gone about 1O0 yards
when he came out of the rear passen
ger car and stepped off the car. The
place he got off was near the switch
where three sets of rails approach
each other. He seemed to have over
looked the fact that the superinten
dent’s ;car was attached to the rear
of the passenger car, and ns he step
ped off among the rails he fell toward
tlie train and was run over by the
rear car.
HK WAS HORRIBLY MUTILATED.
His head and neck were badly crush
ed. The rear trucks of one coach and
the two trucks of the rear coach
passed over him. His head was al
most severed from his body, hang
ing barely by a thread. His shoul
ders and arms were literally mashed
to pieces. Deatli was instantane
ous.
Capt. Starr, superintendent, was in
the car and stopped tlie train. Friends
rushed horror-stricken to find their
honored friend and jurist lying on the
track witli life extinct.

Washington Letter.
From Our Regular Correspondent
Washington, July 32,1889.
Editors Uniox-Krcorbbr:
Ex-Senator Mahone of Virginia is
one of the happiest men in the eoun-
try. He has succeeded in getting tlie
republican National committee
take a baud in the political muddle
in his State, And the result is that
wily Mahone is more firmly seated as
the Republican bore in that State
than ever. This result was not how
ever obtained without an effort, how
great an effort may be judged from
the fact that tho siib-eommittoo of
the National committee, composed of
Messrs. Quay, Dudley, Clarkson, Fres-
sendiu and Hobart was in continuous
Session one ent.iro day and night, and
afterwards had a long consultation
with Mr. Harrison. Tlie only tiling
that the anti-uiahoneites get as far as
can be seen on the surface is a share
in tlie federal offices in tlie State, and
some people here are uncharitable
enough to say that’s about all they
wanted. At any rate the decisions
of the committee in Mahone’s favor
was closely followed by the appoint
ment of Col. J. B. Brady to be Collec
tor of internal revenue for the second
district of that state. Col. Brady
has been about the bitterest oppo
nent Mahone haJ in the state. His
salary will be $4,(500 a year which is
not to be sneezed at tjy a man out in
the cold. He accepts the situation
and said in an interview here that
Mahone could have tlie re-nomination
for Governor if lie wanted it.
Mr. Harrison readied Washington
last week, stayed several, days and
turned out a surprising number of ap
pointments, surprising to tlie fellows
der peculiar circumstances, to pre
vent tlie Democratic candidate,
though fairly elected, from taking his
seat as President.
Should- the Democrats refuse to
submit, the claim to another electoral
commission, or submit, again to other
Republican measures of any kind
whatever, to secure the coveted prize,
what would be the consequences?
A revolution? A resort to arms? Yes,
as surely us the sun will rise and set
upon the land, unless one party or
other shall back down from its high
resolves. Here, then, we see that the
Presidency stands a towering und
dangerous feature in our confedera
tion of States. Tliis dunger can be
removed by making an alteration in
tile Federal law, and tlint, too, with
out any change in the States by sim
ply adopting a constitutional provi
sion that a Presidential election sbull
be decided by a majority of tlie votes
of all States of tlie Union. What
wrong will there be in that, if this is
a people’s government? We hold, too,
that tlie appointees by the President
should be more equally distributed j
between the States. We have given
tlie President more power than ispos-1
sensed by any kingly government up
on earth. It is this that incites po
litical rogues to steal tlie chief magis-
try of the country, and prefer revo
lution, blood-shed and imperialism,
to the institutions founded by tlie
heroes and sages of the old revolu
tion. The States should participate
in the selection of the honors and
emoluments for distribution by the
President. The country would be
more quiet and peaceful by a fair rep
resentation in the distribution of the
houors and emoluments which are
distributed by the President. This
could be easily arranged by a fair and
just distribution among tlie States ac
cording to their population.
