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. IMPSESSiONSOF A FIENDISH FACE. Henry Pope is dead now, and :>ast all question of la v or preju dice, The Tribune, while- profound ly regretting the unlawful mann-.-ri if his taking <-!?, profoundly be-1 lieves him guilty of the crime for vhich he sullered di :-.lh. To the s -iind of the imparl ini the rei.-sited I identification by the tortured vic i tim outweighs the convicting testi i mony of the others. Witnesses on either side may mistake or forget, but the one upon ' whose horrified consciousness the face of a flend was impressed at a ,ime like that, is not likely to err either in her remembrance or her' vengeance.—Tribune of Rome. D The people of Chattooga County 1 have shown great patienco in 1 bi (Pope) affair. Pope had two fair and 1 impartial trials and was convicted at both trials.—Cherokee (Ala.) ; Advertiser. The Marietta Journal contains a number of flattering notice.-: of Col. Phillips, of Marietta, from various papers in regard to his candidacy for congress. It may be that Col. [ Phillips will develop unexpected strength. It is estimated that 1 in- passage of the Mills tariff bill will save .‘fliG annually to every man with a wife and three children. We ain’t got the wife and three children, but a great many of our friends have, and we say letterpass. Gath says h ■ can find no idea ii Washington.

The keeper of lb" I'< uiß-nfiarv . was sent to take charge of Pope. We thought the duty of the keeper of the penitentiary was to see after those who were sentenced to the, penitentiary, and not those who convicted «>f a capital crime. If. is reported that 3,C)0 native Indians of Brazil were poi-mied by the whites, who did so in order to obtain possession ol the country.

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 each side of the river. 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., -of <'an -Creek, who lequired him 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 | 1 read “Chattooga’s Disgrace” in ' the Tribune of Rome, in r-.-gnrd to I the lynching of Pope, but that pa- j per has verv much mo lilied its first j llll'Vll III.' ■ Il 111. u ! 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 i ga county has in the case of Henry ! Pope. i R: r. Mr. ?lilner preached at Tri ion Sunday. He will not continue l his ap:-ointm--i;t iier;- as iiis servi- ■ : I other places. | Mr. Milner is truly an able preach- i ' er, but it seems that the people' i here have not given him the encour- 1 ig meat that he deserved. His con- i gregations were not- always as large I ■as they ought to have been, for, as . I said before, he is an able preaeh . I er. and ought to meet with a warm : ivelcome anywhere.

Are our girls are to be run over by such low down characters as Pope. I don’t know what this county is going to come to, and I don't like the idea of lynching a man, but when the law does .-ill it can, then Im ought to be summa rily dealt with.

Golden Text, 1 Cor. v, 7—Memorize Verses 36 33—Comments by Rev. H. S. IlufflDlUl. [Condensed from Lesson Helper Quarterly, by permission of H. 8. Hoffman, Philadelphia, pub lisher.] 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.
