THE POPE CASE.
From Tribune of Rome.]
The implied reflection upon Judge
John TV. Maddox, in the editorial
columns of yesterday’s paper, was
impulsively written by a member of
the stall’ Lite at night, after the
editor had retired from the office,
and dots not properly reflect the
sentiment of the Tribune toward
that officer.
Whatever the view of the Chat
tooga lynching, no one who knows
John W. Maddox will credit him
with either neglect or shirking of
his duty. No braver or purer gen
tleman adorns the judiciary of
Georgia, and the last fault with
wfiieh he would be credited by
those who know him, is a lack of
courage in the discharge of his
official duty of protection to a
prisoner of the law. An investiga
tion of the facts proves that, for
weeks past, every precaution had
been taken at the Summerville jail
against the mob, and that, by ac-,
tion of the judge, the jail had been
strongly guarded by forty men, tin- .
til the general satisfaction of the'
people over the approaching execu
tion had allayed apprehension, and
the guard was removed. The news
of the governor's respite did not
reach Summerville officially .until
8:30 in the evening, and the judge
and sheriff did not apprehend that
the news would spread before the
prisoner was to be removed in the
morning. The information, how
ever, was disseminated in another
portion of the county from which
came the totally unexpected mob,
against which no guard would have
been sufficient.
These facts, and the expressions
of confidence which accompanies
them, are given without any sort of
request, out of simple justice to an
upright an 1 honorable official, who
has an unblemished record of judi
i cial faithfulness and integrity.
From Alla: : i Cons: . utionJ
Wc very much regret to chronicle
the details of the lynching of|
Henry Pope, in Chattooga county.
Lynch law is a bad remedy, and we
do not approve it in any case, but
if there is any justification for it
in the world, it would be in the
case as charged against this negro
Henry Pope. The question about
his guilt was settled by two juries
of the good citizens of Chattooga.
There was no rash conclusion, and
if he was innocent of the offense,
the judge and juries that tried him
are just as guilty as the mob that
hung him, and no man can say that
these men deliberately violated
their oath- and convicted an inno
cent man w i'.hout sufficient evidence.
The facts of the case are, as we
hear them, as follows: Henry Pop?
was identified by Miss Kendrick as
the negro who raped her; she swore
positively ! ’the facts. There was
very little to rebut this testimony,
and on the first trial he was found
guilty. After his conviction a
strong showing was made before
Governor Gordon showing testimo
ny proving an alibi for the negro,
by parties who lived in Alabama,
fifty- miles from where the crime
was committed. The governor very
properly respited the defendant,
and Judge Maddox very properly
granted a new trial. Henry Pope
was tried the second time. We are
not posted about the particulars of
this last trial, but it is rumored
that the witnesses who were so
ready to prove an alibi before the
governor were not present at tiis
trial; and it is further intimated
that these witnesses received threat
ening letters from citizens of Chat
tooga, telling them that their lives
would be in danger if they came to
•I Chattooga to testify in the case.
Now. we do not know how much
I truth there is in this statement, but
Iwe know Judge Maddox, and a
' firmer and more determined man to
jdo right and to do his duty does
; not live in Georgia, and any man
that know< him will admit at once
■ that if such a showing had been
■ made before him, and a motion
made to change the venue in this
case, and I ? was satisfied the show
ing was g;> ,d, that the motion would
1 been sustained if it had invol
ved th" .-inrty in civil w:>r. The
case wr. tried; the negro convicted
the sec;>" 1 time. The governor was
appealed t > the second time, and
acting, as was his duty, he prompt
ly sent protection, and was ready
to respite him again. The people
of Chattooga, hearing of this, took
the law in their own hands and
hung the defendant. Now, we do
not approve of their course in this
matter! but before these people are
to be blamed for what they did, let
every man think a moment what he
would do, under similar circumstan
ces, if one of his own kindred or
neighbors was in the condition of
Miss Kendrick. Nor do we blame
Governor Gordon. He did his whole
duty in the premises, and anted i
bravely anil nobly in doing all he
could to protect the negro, but he
aws not sufficiently satisfied with
the evidence submitted to him to
pardon the negro; he merely res
pited him that the testimony sub
mitted could be thoroughly investi
gated. Any man that knows Gov
ernor Gordon knows very well that
if he had been satisfied beyond a ;
reasonable doubt that the negro
I was innocent, that he would have
pardoned him square out without
hesitation. He acted the part of a
prudent humane man in protecting
a criminal as well as was possible
! under the circumstances, but he
I would have submitted to torture to
death before he would have pardon- l
ed a criminal charged with the of
fense that Henry Pope was guilty
of if he thought he was really guilty.
We are inclined to think that
the one mistake in this matter was
that the attorneys who defended .
Pope were not as vigilant and ener
getic before the court as they were
before the governor.
HOW WOMEN REST.
How differently men and women '
rest! “I guess I’ll sit down and
mend those stockings and rest I
awhile,” says the wife, but the hus- ’
band throws himself upon the easy
lounge or sits back in his armchair,
with hands at rest and feet placed ■
horizontally upon another chair.
Tin- result is his woole body gains
full benefit of the half hour he al
lows himself from work, and the
I wife only receives that indirect help
which comes from change of occu
pation. A physician would tell her
that taking even ten minutes’ rest
j in a horizontal position, as a change
I from standing or sitting at work,
would prove more beneficial to her ,
than any of her makeshifts nt rest
ing. Busy women have a habit of
keeping on their feet just as long'
as they can, in spite of backache i
and warning pains. As they grow .
older they see the folly of permit
ting such drafts upon their strength,
and learn to take things easier, let
what will happen. They say: “I
used to think I must do thus and
so but I’ve grown wiser and learned
to slight things.”
A UNIQUE INSURANCE COMPANY.
There is a Spinster’s insurnee
; company in Schleswig, which gives
, shelter, board and pin money to the
I single lady m-.-mhe":: of well-to-do
i families. At the birth of a girl the
■ father enters the girl's name in the
. books of the company, and pays a
, certain sum every year. If, when
, his daughter reaches her twenty-
■ fourth year, she is still unmarried
• she is entitled to a certain income
. and to a couple of furnished rooms
belonging to the company. The
• house is a handsome one, with a
• tine garden attached to it. If the
father dies before the daugh
ter attains her twenty-fourth
year, the girl enjoys the same priv-
■ ileges. In case she dies or marries
■ all her rights are forfeited, and the
I money paid in reverts to the com
pany. These chances enable the
company to make the proper provi-
: sion named, while parents have the
i satisfaction of knowing the future
of their daughters to he secure in
i ease of the death natural
, providers.

There was a fire in the Fifth ward
a few days ago in which a negro I
was badly burned.

HOW TO USE PERFUME.
There are few ladies who resist
t he pleasure of using perfumes, and
if they are not used in too great
quantities they are not objectiona
! ble. It is a good plan to use only
one kind of perfume, such as violet,
heliotrope, rose geranium, etc. In
stead of satutating the handker
chief, use them in the shape of
scarlet powders. Put them on cot
ton, in small bags of muslin, silk,
or satin, and strew them in every
part of the bureau and wordrobe,
iso that a delicate, fresh, almost!
nameless perfume pervades every i
article from the hat to the boots. I
Scarlet filled with powdered orris i
root will give a sweet, wholesome]
odor that rever becomes so strong!
as to be disagreeable. The use of I
too strong extracts of perfumery is
not considered in good taste. |
