con jtxtttt rpir alis t. atjghjsta. GA. 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. Personal.— We were more than pleased to welcome to our sanctum, on Monday, Major J. A- Engelhard, editor and co proprietor of the Wilmington Journal. Major E. Was one of the best and boldest of Confederate soldiers, and, having beaten his sword into a pen, is now one of the most useful of our Southern editors. “ 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. Georgia State Lottery.
