n here Docs the Fault of
Protracted and Chron
ic Citbcsiii our Court*
lie? Wlial is the
Remedy?
The Cartersvillc American comes
forward with an editorial on the sub
ject accelerating the trial and final de
cision of cases in our Suprior Courts.
The article, to a great extent at least,
may apply to ours. We believe in as
rapid a transaction of such business as
will insure the ends of justice and
right to the litigants. As the Anteri
says, our Court is composed of that
kind of material, and there is nothing
of the kind wo could lay to his charge.
Cases come up and are delayed, put
off, continued and new trials granted,
that are not only of vast expense to
the litigants, but of unconscionable
expense to the county. The Ameri
can inclines to lay the heaviest respon
sibility tor this on the lawyers, and
suggests as a consequence, that the
people are apt to resort to other means
to obtain justice; and ends with ask
ing some one to suggest a remedy.
Being acquainted with the law and
profession to alimited extent, wc can
not acknowledge anything moro Ilian
that the evil exists; and as far as the
remedy is concerned one can never he*
suggested and earned into exdtution
that will absolutely obviate the evil;
IVom the simple fact, it is a part of lit
igation, and is insepeiahle from that
disposition of mankind, if the lawyer
does have to be charged with it ail.
We believe that the evil lies to the
greatest extent in the litigant’s 01
client’s attempting to gain
ends and advantages that are entirely
avaricious and selfish. Wuadmit that
this might be remedied to an extent by
a lawyer’s dropping his client’s case
when lie finds or believes such is the
motive. But can wo ever expect this
of all lawyers? or of all clients being
so conscientious as not to begin a suit
only ior the ends of justice? Wo may,
when the laws of human nature are
reveised. Then we may not look for
the remedy in this direction, but must
go to our system of pleading and prac
tice and see if we can suggest remedy;
for the defect must exist there, if any
where at all; but wc have not time and
space to discuss the question* in that
direction; especially at present; and
then, wo must bo extremely careful
when we go to suggest remedies for de
fects in a j iece of work on which the
greatest talent has been exhausted.
At any rate we ought to bo thankful
when-we compare our present means
and remedies for justice with a lew
centuries back.
The biggest Justice Court case ever
heard of in this county was disposed
of at the last term of Cain’s District
court. Mr. Tiltirin Cole pioseeuted
Dr. H. D. Massey before that court
for false swearing. One hundred and
tin witnesses were sworn in on the
case. The dcfendui& was acquitted
and the plaintiff was * saddled with
one hundred and seventy dollars costs
—Pauldiito (County) New Ei a
We do not exactly understand the
above, as the Justice Court lias not
jurisdiction of criminal cases—only as
a Conrt of Inquiry to commit or hind
over, if there is auy probable cause;
and there ought to exist some very
gross maliciousness on the part of the
n the part of the prosecutor to tax
him with the cost.

W tlliam 1,. Marcy was hoarding at
the Irving House (comer ot ('hamhers
Street). While conversing one morn
with in acquaintance, the office hov
landed him a letter horn New Orleans
liter reading.it, he passed it to the
ieud to read. The substance of the
■ttoi was a> follows:
‘ Inclosed find our check or, a New
.'el hftnk !'■’ one tli -lit.,i fi ;]. | ;l) .
which we send you as a letainer in a
suit in a New York court, the particu
lars oi which we will send you in a few
days.”
Mr. Marcy then, to drew out the
others views, induired what he ought
to do.
The reply was, “Put it in your
pocket anil wait for business.”
“No sii!’’ he replied with &n em
phasis. “-It’s a bribe.”
'i hen he wrote a letter to his corres
pondent, saying it would be more
proper to state the nature and charac
ter of the suit, and if he agreed to give
his seivice then they might offer him
a retainer, and enclosed the check to
the sender by returd mail. I wonder
it to-day our lawyers are all of them
as careful not to be bribed.
They tell if on a cm tain subuiban
Sunday-school of Macon that com pe
tition between the schools in the local
ity became so lively that the super
intendent of this particular flocL ot
lambs offered to give one cent per head
for each attendance. For the fiist
month the boys drew their five cents
without showing any sign of dissatis
faction, and the superintendent rubbed
bis hands at his own idea of having so
much larger attendance than the other
schools. Lust Sunday, however, there
was only one small boy present, Full
of lear that the other schools had
worked a better scheme, he asked the
lirtie fellow what was the matter with
his companions. “Struck for two
cents!” replied the hoy. 'This shows

Editor Times:— In looking through
the columns of your paper, and seeing
letters from diffemt parts of the county,
it creates a desire to give you anti your
readers a few. dots from this country,
which 1 hope wiil be of some little in
terest.
First, to give yon an id n a of the
country; the laud is veiy level, and
you wfU find no rocks and stumps.
There is not a log house in the county;
all of them are lathed and plastered on
the inside, and weather-ltoarded on the
outside. We have no springs all well
water, but pure and fine. Prospects
for crops are fine. Wc are done lav
ing by Corn, and are ready for bay
harvest, that is the timothy, which
will take about two weeks. Grass is
four feet high and very thick. Wheat
at'd oats look fine } oats will vield about
sixty bushels per aeie, wheat thirty
and corn seventy.
It seems to be very healthy here.
N> sickness at present. A great ma
ny ol the people emigrate farther west,
on the account ot cold weather in the
tali, w inter and spring.
r l he country is badly mixed up in
politics—cousiociahle excitement ovei
the coming presidential camgaigu
though this immediate vicinity is Dem
ocratic.

WASHINOTON LETTER.
Wa sih xr.nE D.C. July 11.
F.ager eyes have for the last font
days been turned toward Chicago;
quick ears have been waiting to hear
the names of the men who ware to In
honored with tho Democratic stan
dard and more than all anxiety was
felt to bear whether the Democrats
- was to preserve its integrity
and fight under ihe banner of icvenue
reform or ignominionsly surrender to
the protective monopolies.
The Senate was made up of as hag
gard and worn looking a set of fellow >
on Monday as ever was seen in that
chamber. For tlrec successive day.
and nights most of them have lien
constantly at w,nk. \Vlun the S. u
ate had not been in session during the
time mentioned they were engaged ; i
labor on conference or other commit
tees. As is natural with tired and
sleepy persons many Senators were ir
rilablc and showed bearish disposition!
which made it a little difficult to hur
ry through with the business on hand
The legislative act of the Senate
was the passage of a bill to pension
an Illinois soldier, which Senator Ou!-
lom had discovered had been passed
bv the House and overlooked. When
the hour of aujouriiment came, if,
i♦ally, fifteen minutes before it aniv
ed, everybody brightened up, and lis
tened to Mr. Edmunds biief farewell
speech, winch seemed tj make all hap
py. The hammer finally fell in the
Seuatc at a quartet before three o’clock
Monday afternoon.
Though there was only a small fr ic
tion ol the number of members that
compose the House jf Representative*
present on mouday, the last day of the
session, the few present managed to
make more than the usual noise and
confusion which attend th e workings
of that body. As soon as Mr. Black
hum, who-was. chosen to take Mr
Carlisle’s place, got into the Speaker’s
chair there was a rush made for the
small area in front of him and it golem
e.l that ail of the tnembets began shout
ing in chorus for the .Speaker’s recog
nition Business was hurried through
with in some shape or another, and
when, the hands ot the clock pointed
,to two minutes of two, the hour fixed
for. adjournment' it was found that
several matters of importance remain
ed to be aitcnde i to which could not
fixed up in the little remnant of time
left, when smldeenly the hands ot the
clock turned back five minutes. This
thing ot turning back the hands of
the clock is a trick, or “fiction,” as it
is called, resorted to on such occasions
to save legislation by bringing it with
in the prescribed time. In a minute
however, affer hands of t he clock were
turned back ti joint reaolution was re
ceived from tbe Senate expending the
session one hour and after tin's \v-ts
done ihe clock’s bands suddenly went
forward five minutes. Another hour
dragged its slow length along, when
Mr. Blackburn the Speaker , pVO t<2f?i

The President will probably move j
to his cottage at the Soldiers’ ll<-mc|

that he will shortly go to Newport,
