He wito resides in Wayne county and is present with the Khedive ot Egypt; die Czar of Russia; the Republic of France; the Ciown of England, and Consolidation in our own loved laud, by reading, is the better citizen, because lie has less time to spend in t lie idle tales of scan dal, the vicious report and lev and hours of the drinking-saloon.

To wiiat narrow limits are we forced when our only associations are found in the compass of our immediate neigh borhood, with no desire, no ambition to extend this knowledge for usefulness?

GREGG’S DESIRE TO QUIT. A Horse Thief Who Was in Too Great a Hurry to Wait and Be Tried. A recent telegram from Port Jervis, says: About a week ago Sheriff E. M. Spencer, of Honesdale, Pa., took -out of the post office tin,re and read three let ters addressed to a prisoner in his charge named Gregg, a horse thief, awaiting trial. After reading the letters the sheriff called-on tGreggiin his .cell and said, T take.it. by the drift of these let ters, Gi egg, that you don't intend to stay here until court week.” ‘‘Well. Sheriff,’' -said Gregg, -coolly, /l I -was thinking about leaving town be tween tins and court.” So the slier iff took <to locking Gregg in an inner cell nights, away from any communication witli the outside. Oh Saturday last Sheriff Spencer and Dep uty Sheriff Clark were called out of town, and Greggs was not put in his inner cell that night. By the use of a key that he had made of a small bar of lead obtained in some unknown way, he unlocked the door of his cell, released other prisoners and they all escaped. The lead key was found about three miles away. The following letter was received yesterday by Sheriff Spencer: Sheriff: You will see by the drift of this letter that I do not intend to stay in Honesdale until court week Gregg. The St. Louis Times tLinks the case of Miss McCracken against the Chicago & Northwestern Raiiroid Company is curious. It seems that the conductor kissed this young lady while she was on his train, and she sped the company and got a verdict of one thousand dollars and costs. The company appealed to the Supreme Court, but that tribunal affirmed the verdict of the jury; and thug the company must pay damages because one of its conductors kissed a girl. But sup pose h@ had murdered her, would the company have been happed? A copimeroial traveler in a western .city handed a merchant, upon which whom lie had called, a portrait of his betrothed, in stead of his business card,saving that he represented that established. The mer chant examined it carefully, remarked that it was a fine establishment, and retained it to the blushing traveler with a hope that he would soon be adputted into partner ehip. JESUP, GEORGIA, SATURDAY, SEPTEMBER 11, 1875. SANDERSVILLE TRIALS. Verdict of “Not Guilty” in the Cordy Harris Case——Other Cases Continued. (Atlanta Uontitution.) The trial of Cordy Harris, the alleged leader of the Washington county insur rectionists has resulted in a verdict of not guilty. The jury retired Thursday even ing at six o’clock, and made up their ver dict at half-past eight that night. The result of the trial was not altogether un expected. Ou the -contrary most of those who heard the evidence throughout were Of the opinion that it would result in noth ing but an acquittal. A representative of the Constitution conversed yesterday with a gentleman who left SindersviUe Thurs day afternoon, and obtained some points relative to this trial and its results which may not be without interest to-our readers. THE CROWD IN ATTENDANCE. The crowd who have been present at Sandcrsville Oaring the trial has been very large, There are not only a large number of whites from the country, but an im mense concourse of negroes. The num ber could not have fallen much short ot three thousand. Notwithstanding the numbers, there was no excitement, or un seemly behavior, but the trial passed off very quietly. THE ACTION OF THE GRAND JURY. The grand jury returned only seventeen bills out of the large number of cases pre sented to them. The prisoners, excepting the tour liugleaders and a few who were held to answer indict ments in other coun ties, were discharged. These prisoners have been under guard of the two military companies of Washington county, and for the past two weeks the the town of San dersville has presented quite a mortial ap pearance The companies had their gui&rds around dhe prisoners, who were relieved •at stated intervals, had roll-calls every morning and evening, and dress parades daily, itis .expected as they were ordered out by the Governor, they will present a bill against the State for their serviees, but whether they can be paid anything without a special appropriation by the Legislature is a disputed questions. The men are .glad to be relieved and enabled to go home to their families. COBDY HARRIS TRIAL. The evidence upon whioh Harris, and others where arrested consisted in the confess'*'—- -** ——earoes. and state ments made by them to the authorities. When these negroes were introduced up on the witness stand they flatly contradict ed their previous statements, and al though closely interrogated by the State, they- could not be made to testify to any thing which would criminate the prison er. Several oi them swore to the exist ence of a conspiracy, having for its ob. ject the burning of -the court house at Sander-eville, and other deviltry, but whon asked if Harris knew of or was con cerned in it, they invariably swore him clear and fastened the guilt upon Rivers. •Under this sort of evidence a conviction was impossible. Attorney-General Ham mond made a very favorable impression upon the people, and his unusually able argurueuts were listened to with deep at tention. The remarks of Mr. Akerman were gen erally very conservative, and he gave the negroes much good advice. Among eth er things he told them that their drillings in the woods at late hours ef the night, and putting o® various disguises, while not criminal in the eyes of the law, were exceedingly improper and foolish, and to these things they owed their present trou ble. He also advocated friendship with the white race. After the verdict of not guilty was received, Harris was sent back to jaii, but was excepted to be discharged on Friday. The other case were contin ued until the next regular term, which commences in about a week or ten days. By that time it is possible other evidence will be obtained. The Johnson county prisoners will be tried at Wrightsville, at a special term of the court, coinmenaing next Monday. WANT TO EMIGRATE. The negroes of Washington county have called a mass meeting ol their race to as semble in Sandersville on the 18th inst. The object is to select two men to go to some other State to select some suitable place to emigrate to. Whether anything will come cf this move yet remains to be seen. Oh, she was an A 1 Conueant belle, of the “very first water, ’’ or more; and she married a regular fine-haired ‘swell’ who clerked in a dry goods store. And he clerked, and he clerked, till at last he (pH into trouble with some of the money; and then he went oqt West, in a w ay. tojjfs toll, not particularly funny. And after a time the belle came borne, |iie old folks for to see; and the neigh burs when they found she’d come, what her husband’s biz might be. “Oh he is a rajlfoad man now,’’ she said— ‘‘Assistant Conductor,’’ said she; but gome one asked, as he shook his head, whqt tin dicken- that might be. And then, with that high old style' of hers, she answered the interrogation: “He assists in slacking the speed of cars when the tfsin approaches a station Written for the Wayne Triumph. IN ITS CTMJE LIGHT. One of the first and most highly re spected traits that has ever presented itself in human nature (according to my estimation), is one which created the universal admiration that lias ever existed between mail and wo man. And how often do we see this spark of admiration fondly kindled to a degree of deep devotion, and finally committing them to the sacred bonds of matrimony, by which they are justly and honorably united under tho supreme laws of both heaven and earth. The Supreme Being in beginning made tilts act of uniting the two sex a univer sal law of rntfurh throughout the entire human race; therefore, we may deem it our duty, as well as the natural desire, to carry into execution this heavenly right. But, Oli 1 liow often is it our misfor tune to rush blindly and thoughtlessly into measures of this kind when a mo ment’s meditation might save us from a life-long burden? How important, more especially for the young and peaceful maiden (whose tender heart lias not yet been ruffled by care and anxiety), that she should care fully consult probabilities before chos ing a position in life so precarious in its nature as that which must either ad vance her happiness or purchase for her an endless burden on earth. Heaven lias provided her with intel lect suffleientto judge right from wrong, and is it not io her a matter of self in terest that she should calmly exercise such intelligence in all tiie changing scenes of her natural life? Is she not expected to sound well the uncertain channel before setting sail on on so im portant a voyage as this? Undoubtedly so. But how often does she fail to per foii’u tiiis Important duty? How" often with regret do we witness tiie surrender of her whole life and free dom to one whose hidden faults she cares not to detect. One who by arti ficial means would galvanize ills alco holic breath when breathing words of so-called love and affection into the kind and submissive hea.' t, which his only object in seeking is, to betray its first and final hope of a happy existence on Cu '-a -j eincrla MNlSOti wily such incidents as this should occur? Nq, not one; for she bears protniseous !y of his intemperate nature, and is thus j advised by many who love tier far more than he; though such information not being In strict conformity with her de termined desire, site turns indignantly away from such benefactorial friends, and recognize their acts as enmity rather than friendship. The kind and aisxioHs mother attempts to vindicate her eld Id by placing befoie her the ruinous de fects so visible in tiie character of her .so-called lover, but her young and feeble mind is overpowered with tinappreciaed love wliieh weakens iter observation in connection with his imperfect steps when reeling wider tiie effects of the poisonous glass which he is doomed never to resist. Sl>e is unable to picture in her imag ination scenes Hat a year or less time might bring foith, or site would no doubt see herself along in some desolate cottage at the silent midnight hour weeping for one who perhaps at a gam bling table orsodie other degraded spot, participating ini hat which he may con sider the pleasures of life, while his angel wife is gndually sinking beneath the disgraceful oppression so wilfully brought to bearby a heartless and un kind husband. And still amid ail the signals ot dan ger that has be*i so bountifully thrown around her andso plainly pointing out her destiny, shevieids to none, but ven tures onward at though life contained no impurity ths could cast an ever lasting blight upon her future life. No thought of t-ouble ever enters her peaceful boson while the radiant sun is shining, fche ipens her love-beaming only to view thf delightful present, and chooses to expdrence the future, w hich proves to her i bitter tatk when it is too late to regie;. Hfie nay now see her mistake, bulihe time foi a different consideration h|s already pas-c<J. She ha* chosen her part, and wjUj Lo r own hands lias she fil led the banner oi free dom and indepmdence that flo&teu go proudly o’er the past life of a well-wor thy.. though nnfcrtonate soul. Topaz. There are th*usands of men in the South who, we hope, do not need this sound advice from the Richmond Whig, though there are probably those that do, so we give it: “To tiie hundreds of thousands of descendants of high but broken-down families that are now be wailing their hard lot, we say go to work! To recritjt and restore your for tunes and your fank and your prestige, do what your ancestors did to establish them—go to work. In these days all ho nest work is respectable.” HORRIBLE CRIME. A Black Brute, in Elbert County, Rapes a White Child Only Six Years of Age—The Perpetrator Pursued, Wounded, Captured and Lodged in Jail. From a gentleman just arrived from Elbert county, we learn that a most heinous crime was committed upon tiie person of a little daughter of Mr. Asa Forston, who lives near the town of Kl berton, by a black brute, some eighteen years of age, last week. From what we can learn, all the family, with (he ex ception of the old grandmother, were absent from home, and that the negro, who was employed by Mr. I’., enticed the little one into a barn near the house, and then attempted to commit a brutal crime upon her person. Her cries at tracted tho attention of the grand mother, who, upon going to the barn, caught the fellow in tiie act. So soon as lie saw the old lady approaching, he lied. The alarm was at once given, and soon the entire neighborhood was in pursuit of the scoundrel. He was traced to Har per’s Ferry, some eight miles distant, where he was arrested, but not until lie had received a severe wound in the hip from a pistol in the hands of Mr. Win. Rousey. lie was at once carried to tho village and lodged in jail. Great indig nati. n was justly manifested by tiie citizens, and there was much talk among some of lynching tiie prisoner, but cooler counsel prevailed We are not in favor of lynch law as a general thing, but we think that every case of rape should bo met with Instant death from tiie people. It will learn tiie blacks a lesson that naught else will—particu larly where the case is of such an ag gravating character as tiie one to which allusion is trade above. Never, in our lives, have we seen so many accounts of rapes by negroes upon white ladies, as in past few weeks Every paper is filled with accounts of them Let our people make a determination to hang or burn, on the spot, every one. caught in Urn act, and we garrantcc it will put n quietus on it when nothing else will.

Maggie Mitchell Married to Her r-:ri £m,u. j I have known Maggie Mitchell for many | years, and rejoice in her success as a sister woman. Her artistic triumphs did not seek her out; she fought for them and won them bravely. Fanehon she created. Tho medium through which she became acquainted with the part was a heavy translation of the German piny. She had notread ‘La PetiteFadelte,’ Georgo Hand's novel. The Shadow Dane®—about whose fairy grace so great a poet as Ralph Wal do Emerson has written beautiful verses, not to mention a host of smaller rliym sters—is an afterthought of her own, and so were many other beautiful and pathetic touclies which Lighten the charm of this delightful dramatic picture. Since 1862, Maggie has been playing the Cricket, and its hold on the public has not waned even now. Other performances of Maggie are variously admired. The most prominent I of these are Jane Eyre and the Pear! of Savoy, a dramatic version of Lindi di Chamounix; but the Cricket chirps for ever. Maggie is married, and to her first Jbor ,u —the sweetheart who lost his heart to Ler sweetly many years ago. The third en gagraent Maggie ever played in her life was at Clevland, and on the first nigh t of her engagement there came to the thea tre a young man whose destiny it wi is to win her for his wife, and brighten her household with lovely children. Mr. Pad dock is a yo ing man still, and fortunate ly for Maggie he possesses busmens quali ties, which permit her to devote herself i constantly to her art, in whose pursuit she is still as enthusiastic as she was at the outset of her career If her name wasn’t Angelica, it ought to have been. She was as sweet as they make ’em and she seemed about ready to float away in the blue cload of her own floun ces.
