WEDNESDAY MORNING, JUNE 16,1869
THE SUPREME COURT AND NEGRO
-ELIGIBILITY.
The question of negro eligibility, now
before the Supreme Court of this State,
occasions intense interest, and, it may be
that great excitement will follow the report
of the decision when made.
Let us somewhat anticipate the decision
and its probable results.
It seems to be the opinion of those best
informed that the Court will decide that
the negroes are not entitled to hold office
under the Constitution of the State, but
that they are entitled under the Code.—
That it is not a right secured by the funda
mental law, but it is a right under statute
as the statutes on the subject now stand.
We advance this opinion as the conclusion
reached by such thinkers as have given the
subject a thorough investigation and know
the character of the officials who arc ap
pointed to solve it. We suppose that the
Court will decide honestly as able jurists,
with only so much of party bias as is in
separable from human nature on doubtful
points of construction. It is generally ad
mitted, we believe, that the question of negro
eligibility, under the Code, is not one free
from doubt, or free from adverse and differ
ent constructions. It is a subject, too, upon
which the ablest and most honest jurists
may differ. Hence, it may not come amiss
to admonish our people against undue de
nunciation of the decision, if made as we
anticipate it Will be. We are so situated
that we can only injure ourselves by re
fusing to bow to “ the majesty of the law ”
as expounded by the highest judicial au
thority. This is the only hope for free in
stitutions, and it is our only hope, as we
patiently endure even an unjust decision,
trusting to time and justice for relief.
Let us see what will be the effect of
such a decision as we have foreshadowed.
It will be to put White in the office
he claims, and all other negroes in the
State offices to which they have been
elected, except members of the Legislature.
It can have no bearing upon that matter.
That question has been settled by the only
courts having jurisdiction of it—that is by
each House of the General Assembly.
They alone have constitutional jurisdic
tion of the subject, so far as their respect
ive bodies are concerned. They have de
cided, so far as this Legislature is con
cerned. Their decision, when rendered,
was a judicial decision, which cannot
now be reversed by themselves. All
that could come of such a decision
of the Supreme Court, in the future, so far
as relates to holding the office of legislator,
would be to use it as an argument In the
next Legislature, if the question should
again come up in either House. It could
not bind the Legislature ; for, by the Con
stitution, each House is the sole judge of
the election and qualification of its mem"
hers. No other court can control that
judicial judgment in the matter. Bqt that
matter, as well ns in all cases of other of
fices, can be easily remedied without any
undue excitement, and without any injury
except that of the temporary holding of
office by the few now elected, as before
stated, under the Code as it exists. The
Legislature, at its first session,, if-4t,ia;. l 1 fit”
can repeal that part of the Code and de
clare by express law (as can be done under
the Constitution, if the decision be as we
predicate,) that negroes shall not be entitled
to hold any office in this State—we mean,
of course, State offices.
By keeping cool under adverse circum
stances, we clarify our minds and are pre
pared to direct them toward prudent
courses. Should the Supreme Court decide
as we have supposed, we must strive to
moderate any promptings to indignation,
and go to work in business fashion to clear
away the obstacles which now encumber
our progress. That we can do so easily,
and without passion, we have attempted to
demonstrate to the satisfaction of our
readers.
THE WARREN COUNTY TROUBLE.
Forney’s Chronicle still keeps up its dia
bolical spite against Georgia, by moans of
false telegrams, as well as elaborate edito
rials. Ilere is a special dispatch to that
paper calculated to mislead the public:
“ Atlanta, June 11, 1900. —Reports from
Warren county show that the Ku Klux
have succeeded in obtaining a judicial in
junction restraining Sheriff Norris from
making further arrests. The efforts of the
military authority, acting through the
civil officer, to break up these insurrection
ary organizations seem thus to be brought
to a stop.”
From the ear-marks, we should judge
that the above dispatch emanated from the
crafty brain of Eugene Davis, the “ Gov
ernor’s ” Secretary, who seems to have a
natural proclivity for slander. The North
ern people are informed that the best citi
zens of Warren county united to hay.c the
injunction served upon Norris, who came
down upou them with a military array and
a show of violence calculated to provoke
bloodshed and disorder. Preferring the
ways of peace, the good people of Warren
sought such redress as the law permitted
them, aud stopped the flagrant invasions
of Norris by legal process. It should be
known abroad that Judge Andrews, who
sanctioned the writ enjoining Norris from
further-exercising and performing the du
ties of sheriff, uutil his right legally to
do so is judicially adjudged, is himself
a Republican, one of the most pronounc
ed. Republicans in the State, and holds his pres
ent office under Got. BuUock's appointment.
Without this knowledge of his status, the
interference of Judge Andrews might be
• made to appear, and really is made to ap
pear, as further evidence of the “disloyalty”
of our people extending even to the Judi
ciary. We want the Wasliington Chronicle
and other truly loyal sheets to understand,
then, that the citizens of Warren county
protected themselves from insolence and
outrage by an appeal to the law; that this
appeal was made to a functionary who
belongs to the strictest sect of Radicalism ;
that he holds his office by -warrant of such
party ties and holds it from Mr. Forney’s
dear friend “ Gov.” Bullock. It may be
that Judge Andrews has not yet ascended
into those higher regions of the “ God and
Morality ” doctrine illustrated by the
Grand High Priest, Attorney General Hoar;
but he is sufficiently “ loyal ” for all decent
Republicans and sufficiently honest, so far
as we know, to keep his judicial ermine
free from the uttermost contamination of
being the tool of designing partisans. The
people of Warren county were too well-ad
vised and too well poised to play into the
hands of those who wished to provpke
them to deeds of wrath hi order to effect
their ultimate ruin. Because they resorted
to the law instead of to arms, Bullock
and Forney are chagrined and strive to
effect their object by denouncing Judge An
drews’ injunction as a triumph of the Ku
Klux. ThifT move is completely checked
when it becomes known that Judge An
drews is a Radical Judge by Bui. lock s
special appointment. Os course, the Cluroni
cle will not correct its’telegram to this ex
tent, but it is just as well that some of the
honest people of the North should be made
acquainted with the true state of the case.

“ Health and renown
To his brave young crown !’’
Letter from Barnwell.
Three Runs, Barnwell, T)ist., S. C., >
June 12th, 1869. >
Messrs. Editors : Supposing that a little
information about the crops will not be
unacceptable, I will state what my ex
perience and observations arc.
Last year I came out very well, and in’
Jannary had about $1,600 in my factor’s
hands in Charleston. This season I hope
to do better still, for I have pnt an equal
quantity of land in corn and provisions as
last year, and about 50 acres more in cot
ton, making 200 acres in this crop, but I
have used more fertilizers and have applied
about 300 lbs. of the same to each acre, which
I think will increase the yield fully 50 per
cent. and well repay me.
All around me there lias been more land
put in cotton than last year, and more fer
tilizers used, and if we have a good season
there will be much more cotton made, for
I can harvest all that I can raise, and you
may be certain that no man will leave any
in his field, as long as it is worth 28 cents,
per lb.
I do not think the cool Spring has injur
ed my crop at all, but rather did it good,
for it kept it back until it gained strength,
and the hot sunhas made it shoot up splen
didly, and I now have as good a stand as I
ever had during my 17 years of planting.
The negroes in this neighborhood, of all
sexes, are working well, better than they
have done since the war.
I am, respectfully, yours, *
State Items.
Crops in Upson County.— A correspond
ent of the Macon Journal arul Messenger ,
writing from “ The Rock, Upson county,”
under date of the 11th, says :
Corn is not very forward for this season
of the year, but is now growing rapidly,
and with good seasons there will be an
abundant yield. Cotton is small, owing to
the very cool nights, all through the Spring,
but it is noyv growing finely since the
warmer weather set in. That which was
manured with fertilizers is very fine, and
those using it are well pleased with its
effects. The farmers in this section have
got their crops clean and in nice order.
Freedmen are doing remarkably well.
Wheat harvest is about over, and a good
yield may be expected, though late wheat
is a little damaged -by rust. The oat crops
generally are very good, and a large area is
sown.
Seasons have been very good so far, and
but few wear long faces. Everybody is in
high spirits, and' business goes on smooth
ly ; and with sufficient seasons in the fu
ture, and a fair price for cotton, the farm
ers will be well rewarded for their labor.
The Wheat Club.— All the lots of
wheat in competition for the premium have
been cut, and the committee have been
been busy attending to the threshing and
measurement. The committee decided not
to make public the amount of any crop un
til all were measured, and we cannot,
therefore give a reliable report of any. It
is rumored that Dr. Hamilton’s acre yield
ed 46)>2 bushels, and the impression pre
▼ails thafc-he wHI-wiii the premium.- Mr.
Bancroft's was badly injured by the rust.
[Athens Banner, Mth.
Railroad Meeting in Carnesville.—
A large meeting was held at Carnesville on
Wednesday, 9th lust., to consider a sub
scription by the county to the stock of the
Air Line Road.
Major Samuel Knox was chosen chair
man of the meeting. Addresses were de
livered by Col. Allston, of Decatur, Col.
Estes, Col. Langston and Judge Bowers.
Resolutions were adopted recommending a
subscription of SIOO,OOO by the county, the
same to be left to a vote of the citizens of
the county.— lbid.
Griffin News. —The Middle Georgian
says that at the election, last Thursday, on
the question of increasing the city sub
script,on to the Griffin and North Alabama
Railroad $25,000, the vote stood 220 for the
increase and 43 against it. Comparatively
few voted.
Sad Accident. —On Thursday night, the
down train from Atlanta, due here at 9j£
o’clock, run over and killed a man by the
name of Jack Smith, about two miles above
this place. He had been in town during
the day, and started home late, and is sup
posed to have laid down on the road while
under the influence of liquor. No blame
can attach to the engineer, who made
every effort to stop the train before reach
ing the man, but could not do so.
Crops in Stewart County. —The En
quirer, of Friday, saw a gentleman who
had just returned from a tour through
Stewart. He says he visited nearly every
part of the county, and he never saw the
crops more promising at this season than
they nqw are. He says the plants are not
so large as he has seen them, but they are
very thrifty, and the lands have been so
well prepared and so generally fertilized,
that he’ considers them in a most promis
ing condition. The Stewart county plant
ers, lie says, expect to make enough corn
to “ do them ” next year.
Consequence of Having a Poor Well
bucket. —The Newnan Herald of Friday
says :
On last Friday night the residence of Mr.
S. J. Elder, of this county, was burned.—
The fire was discovered about midnight and
would have been extinguished, if the bot
tom of the well-bucket had not dropped out
after only a small quantity of water had
been drawn. Everything of value in the
house was saved. No insurance on the
building. The fire is supposed to have
originated from a candle left burning by
the servants in the cook-room, adjoining
the house.
Can Stand the Sun— Mr. Washington
Thomas, of this county, has left on our
table two stalks of cotton —highest twenty
seven inches, with but three-eights of an
inch in diameter, with eighteen forms upon
it. He has five acres as far advanced as
this, the cotton being planted about the
13th April. Mr. Thomas is flfty-se ven years
old, and cultivates* in all ten or twelve
acres of cotton with his own hands. Part
of his land is fertilized with staDle manure,
and part is fresh. Mr. Thomas ci*i stand
the sun without difficulty.
" [Macon Teleerraph.
From Thomas County.— The Thomas
villc Knleiprise , of Wednesday, complains
of very dry and warm weather. Superior
Court was in session with several criminal
cases before it, among them the McMana
man Express robbery at Cairo. The peo
ple were dodging jury service. The com
mencement exercises of Andrew Female
College begin on the 18th. The editor
boasts of a cabbage weighing seventeen
pounds.
A Reaping Match.— A reaping match
with seven varieties of reaping machines
took place at Cave Spring on the 10th. The
competitors were: The iron-clad Excelsior,
the wood frame Excelsior, Wood’s Machine,
Buckeye, Russell Machine, the World, and
the Ohio. The Committee of Judges award
ed the first prize to the iron-clad Excel
sior, the second to the wood frame Excel
sior, and the third to the World.
A steam generating apparatus for Are en
gines, which, it is asserted, keeps the water
in the boiler constantly hot, at an expense
of seven cents a day, has recently been test
ed by the chief engineer of the Newark, N.
J., Fire Department. At the trial an alarm
was communicated by the telegraph, the
horses were attached, and the steam engine
was run out a short distance. At four and
a quarter minutes from the time the alarm
had been given steam was generated, and a
fine stream of water was playing.
