The Amende Honorable.
We publish on the first page two
editorials—one from the Tribune
>f Rome, and one from the Atlanta
Constitution —in regard to the
lynching of Pope. The Tribune in
i previous editorial reflected upon
Judge Maddox in connection with
he lynching. But Editor Graves,
who by the way was not the author
jf the first editorial, saw it was un
just, and he hastened to make the
proper correction, which is most
creditable alike to his head and
heart. The Constitution render
ardy justice to Judge Maddox
ind the jury which convicted Pope
and comes nearer com i .’.ering fair
ly the case than at any previous
lime. However, it implies that
Pope's counsel might have made a
better case before the jury. This
locs Wesley Shropshire an injuf-- ‘
lice, as all who .are acquainted with I
his efforts in behalf of Pope know.
: !e did everything that he could do |
consistant with honor and duty, I
■ven to the extent of incurring the I
i'lwi 1 of the people who thought
■’ope guilty.
It is most certainly true that
Pope, in accordance with the un
written law in such cases prevalent
■vervwhore, would have been sum-1
narily dealt wit l : long ago had if ’
not been that the people of this
county had the utmost confidc-ncc
in Judge Maddox. His personal!
fforts, and promi es that the law
would be vindicated, inspired a con-
Idence that justice would be done
-hat kept IVipc from being lynched
’or twelve months. Under his man
' agement the law, in spite of mis
representation and slander, was
inrely being carried, out, and Pope
would have been legally executed
had it not been for the last order of
lov. Gordon respiting him. It is
but charitable to attribute to Gov.
Gordon honorable and humane mo
tives in granting the respite, but
• he exhibited an ignorance of the
facts in the case that is inex- nseble
a one who lias the keepin-,' of such j
delicate rights in his hands as were
involved i.i Ibis case.

i mony of the others.

The men who constructed the
wooden railroad bridge across the
river at this place, have foreclosed
laborer’s lien upon the bridge and
also attached what tools, etc. there
were on hand belonging to the com
pany for whom they were working,
because the iron bridge company fail
ed to pay them for their labor. I do
not know whether the men will be
able to make anything out of it or!
not. Nothing is doing towards!
completing the trestle work on

Last Sunday James E. Ledbetter!
■ wore out a warrant against John |
Sherman, charging him with steal- ■
ing ten dollars belonging to Miss I
Ellen Ledbetter. He was arrested
' and given a hearing before the jus |
I tice of the peace at Trion. On ac- j
' count of the evidence not being suf-1
ficient to commit he was discharged. >
Within a day or two afterward the
I whole Ledbetter family left for
Texas. Why they did so lam not
able to say. 1 heard it stated that
certain parties had prosecuted them
for selling wine illegally. But
whether this is so or not I can’t say.
One day last week John Poe, of
Walker county, took out a warrant
j for George Bogan for an assault
j with intent to murder. He had a
hearing before H. L. Duncan, J. P.,

to give a bond for live hundred dol
lars. Bogan escaped from the ofii
cer, and has left the state, so I
learn.
Dr. Rndicil told me a short time
back that if the railroad authori
ties would build a depot just west
of his dwelling that he would make
them a deed to one acre of land for
the purpose, and that AV. 11. Penn
would do the same. So there would
be two acres on which to build the i
depot. This is a point on the rail-1
road that would be accessable to
the people in Broomtown and Dry j
j valley, as there is a gap through
' the ridge where there could be made
a first rate wagon road and it would I
also be quite convenient for those
from the eastern portion of the ■
county. At least that is the way ■
the doctor puts it.
I was very much mortified when |

! statements, and : --ems to think that
the cvi lence against Pope was a
great deal stronger than that for
him. But yet it will be some time
before the citizens of Chattooga i
will feel as kindly toward the Trib- I
! une as they did before. “Chattoo-j
ga’s Disgrace” ind ■■ <1! My obser-1
vation is that in no other county of
i the state would such forbearance [
on the p:irt of the citizens have
been exhibited under similar cir- ,
ieu instances. I heard a man say,.
■ who was on:? of the enthusiastic i
■ supp >rt--;-s of Gordon for governor ■
since the executive order was I
issued respiting Pope, that he was
: no longer a Gordon man. I was
i not a Gordon man at the primary
but voted for Bacon although I
! voted for Gordon at the regular
election. But I was begining to
■ believe that he was making a good ■
i Goveror, but I can’t support any
I man who will act so hastily in mat
i ters of such vital importance to the
I people of any particular county of
, the state after they have exercised .
! so much patience and been at such '
heavy expense to give an offender a
fair ami impartial trial a.- Chattoo-1

1 think he is not lit to have bailifl s

as Pope. I don’t know what this
county is going to come to, and I
don't like the idea of lynching a

it can, then Im ought to be summa

Notes.—V. 17. First day, Passover feast
lasted seven days. Unleavened bread, that |
is, bread without yeast or rising. V. 18.
Time at hand, time of bis passion. V. 20.
Even was come, about 6 o’clock. Sat down,
reclined on divans. V. 21. Betray, deliver
up. V. 2.5. Thon hast said, is equivalent to
saying, “Yes, you know what you say is
so.” V. 28. Testament, covenant. V. 30.
Sung a hymn, the Hallel Psalms cxv-cxviii
were sung at every Passover.
In this lesson we behold the Lord sitting
i down with his disciples under the old dispen
sation to celebrate its last Passover, and
arising from the table under the new dispen
sation, with the Lord's supper instituted.
There is a point in this lesson which marks
the death of the old and tho birth of the new
and better economy of things.
V. 17. The Passover is called “the feast of
unleavened bread,” because leavened bread
v.as excluded during tho whole seven days
that it lasted. The entire passion and death
of Christ, and many prccions truths con
nected with bis redemptive work, arc sym
bolized by tho Passover.
Tho movement for tho observance of tho
Passover originated on this occasion with the
disciples. They came to Jesus asking him
; where they should make preparations for its
observance. It was Jesus’ custom to observe
tho feast. The disciples were concerned
about making ready for it. A chamber had
to be secured; tables with couches or divans
prepared, the paschal lamb had to be bought,
slain at tho temple between 3 and 5 o’clock
in the afternoon of Thursday, then taken to
a pi ivnt ‘ dwelling and cooked; bread, bitter
herbs and wino were required. The work of
preparation was given to Peter and John.
V. IS. They were directed to go to Jeru
salem, where they would meet a man bear
ing a pitcher, who would render them valu
j able aid. The direction and subsequent
events show that Jesus was omniscient. In
tho great crowds of people that filled Jeru-
■ salem, the right man would be distinguished.
I Tho man was to be told that Jesus’ “time was
■ at hand.’’ Neither tho disciples nor this man
understood the deep significance of those
words, for they referred to tho time of
Christ's suffering and death, by which souls
: were to be ransomed from sin and death.
V. I*>. It was a blind sort of errand upon
' which the disciples were to go. They asked
no questions, but in full faith on Christ's
i word they wont. We, like these disciples,
and like Abraham, are bidden of God to do !
things v. iiich our reason cannot understand, i
Faith, however, goes forward.
V. 20, 21. Tho paschal lamb was killed
about 3 o’clock in the afternoon, and was
eaten after the setting of the sun, and often
in tho night. Originally the supper was
taken standing. In time the reclining post
ure, as at other meals, was adopted. John
occupied the place next to Jesus, and Judas
may have been on the other side of him.
Our Lord and the twelve disciples were a
fall paschal company, ten persons was tb?
minimum number. As they were taking
their places at the table a strife arose among
“ ■ them ns to who should be greatest. In con
sequence of this, at tho time for tho washing
of hands, Jesus- arose from the table and
I washed his disciples’ feet, teaching them a
i lesson of humility.
V. 22. The effect of tho announcement
i upon the disciples is described in this verse.
V. 23. “The Jews, at the Passover, used a
’ , bitter sauce, made of bunches of raisins,
mixed with vinegar and other seasoning, .
which they said represented tho clay which
their fathers were compelled to use in Egypt i
in making brick, thus reminding them of .
their bitter bondage there. This was prob- !
ably the dish to which reference is here I
made.”—Barnes.
V. 24. “The Son of Man goeth.” Among
the Hebrews the expression “man goeth”
meant death. Hence Jesus states that he
will die in fulfillment of prophecy, and that
while his death was not the result of acci
dent, there was still a terrible punishment
to be meted out to his betrayer. If it be
asked how the crime of Judas is so great
when it was determined beforehand that
Jesus should be betrayed, it may bo an
swered: Ist. The previous purpose of God
did not force Judas. He acted freely. He
did what his own wicked heart prompted ;
him. 2d. Tho crime was what it was in
itself apart from any determination of God.
3d. A previous knowledge of a thing does
not alt. r its nature. 4th. God, who is the
best judge of tho nature of the crime, holds
all that was done in crucifying the Saviour
to bo by wicke l hands, Acts ii, 23. Sinners
: cannot take shelter for their sins in the de
i creos of God, or plead them as excuses. God j
I will punish crimrs for what they are in
I th-mselws.
V. 25. To ward off suspicion, Judas nerved ,
himself to break' his silence, and asks tin.:
1 shameful question. The others hud in Jov- |
• in>r reverence sail, “Lord, is it If’ Judas i
truest! 4 more forma 1 title, “Master, is it If’
i Tb.e str;*, w tells which way the wind blows.
i V. 25. Sometime during the feast, Jesus I
• rook the thin cake of unleavened bread, and
; as was the wise and pious custom, “blessed
1 it,” or gave thanks. Tb.e breaking of tin? i
bread was intended to represent how Christ's
j bod}’ would be broken and bruised for our
i sins. “This is my body.” The bread was to
remind them of him. and the sufferings and
I death ho should so :;.;;;n endure.
| V. 27. After the regular Passover was con-
I eluded the i.ord's Liq per was instituted. The
first communicants were very imperfect men.
! Poor, mm: rued, weak in faith, they stiil
!.»v< 1 Jv.ius. They knew very little about the I
■ frailly cf tG irown hearts. They thought I
they were willing to die for Chrii.t and yet I
, that very n:;! : they all forsook him and tied. •
Peter, their spoki-uian, denied him with !
oath-, thr.t night. How merciful the Lord
was in giving the elements to such! No
graceless person should come to tho Lords
i StipjK'r. But wo must at the same time not
reject whom Christ would receive. Do wo
! love Jesus? That is tbo main question.
V. 28. The “cup” was the type er emblem
of Lis blood, Lis life, which he laid down as
the atonement for sin.
V. 2’J. The Lord is done with earthly
nt.s, and nt or.ee points to the marriage
■ supper cf the Lamb. Tho Passover py-er

Are r.’.on'hs in which tr purify the
blood, ns the system is now most
susceptible to benefit from medi
cine. 11-nee now is the time to
take Hood's Sarsaparilla, a medi-
cinc peculint'lv adapted forthe pur-1
|-o<o, possi.-siag peculiar curative
powers. It expells every impurity
from the Mood, and also gives it
vitality and richness. It creates |
an appetite, tones tb.e digestion, in- ,
vigorntes the liver, and gives new I
life and energy to every function of
the body. The testimony of thous
ands, as to the great benefit derived
from Hood's Sarsaparilla, should
convince everybody that it is pecu
liarly tb.e best blood purifier and
spring medicine.
It is gratifying to observe that!
press and people unite in exonera
ting Judge Maddox from any blame |
in the Henty Popo lynching alfair.
The tragedy was simply the result I
of a determination on the part of
the p- ;>pb? to exterminate the raee
| of brutal villians who hold nothing
i sacred, find as long as. such fiends
I exist, just so long will justice be
dealt out to them. The people did
I what, they thought was their duty,
I and the ravisher is no more. Let
others lake warning.—(’edartown
