AUGUSTA. <3 A.
JIUNDAY MOBNING, JUNG 20. 1860
IN TROUBLL.
The admission seems to lie general that
the dominant party is in ft very bad way
an>l can oniy be saved from ruin by some
such specious war-cry as “ War with Eng
land.” This is evidently the programme
to be pursued, in order to save Penn
sylvania and other Northern states from
reverting to the Democracy. Something
must be done to stir up the hungry and
sensational ma4es and nothing appears
to promise hilf f t# (MtUlf as a howl for
vengeance against John Bull. With this
slogan, it is expected to alienate the Irish
element from the Democratic party. We
hear, then, that, having determined upon
this strategy, the Radical leaders are to
sally forth, as soon as the dog dgys are
well spent, and hound on the people to a
crusade against Canada and a tournament
agaiust Queen Vic. There is to be a great
cry, but. it is to mean buncombe; only
this and nothing more. Hostilities are
to be advocated by men who never snuffed
blood on the battle-field—and do not in
tend to so. snuff it if they can help it—
but actual war is not intended by these
belligerent spouters. It is all to be done
pyrotechnically, in order to save the com
ing elections, and, when they shall have
been saved to Radicalism by thousands of
dupes, oil is to be poured on the troubled
waters and the most pacific relations en
couraged.
This looks like an adroit way of keep
ing possession of the Government machine.
But it has its dangers, and may not work
in a way as lovely as it might. For in
stance, if the Democrats perceive that this
is the game of their adversaries, they will
shout war in even a louder key, and, if
needs be, inaugurate it by pushing certain
Fenian eoluraipi over , the border They
can do so witn ’some impunity, because
they are not responsible, and the Radicals
are, for the administration of the Govern
ment. So the Radical marplots are con
fronted with an actual war instead of a
sham one. In ease of such a war, how will
they manage without the South. Seriously
contemplating the possibility of such a con
tingency, the National Intelligencer says :
“ The Government cannot get on with
out the aid, the strength, the co-opeiation,
the right arm of the Southern people. In a
foreign war they would hold the balance of
power, and might turn the scale either way
they chose, and what they would choose is
not altogether inseparable from the measure
of justice or injustice that the Federal Gov
ernment measures out to them, and the
memories that it leaves behind. If the
dominant party liad any statesmanship in
it, it would give due weight to this import
ant consideration.”
This is both philosophical and prudent
counsel and should be heeded. The United
States Government is hedging itself about
with difficulties abroad and is heedless .of
healing animosities at home, if it can only
save itself from ignominious rebukes at
the polls, even in the North, by risking a
war with England, it is high time that
something was done to let us have peace at
home.
Negro Legislators. — W e judge from
some comments of the Macon Telegraph
that the editor thinks the late Supreme
Court decision virtually establishes the
right of negro members to seats in the
present Legislature. He also thinks that a
refusal on the part of the Legislature to re
spect this decision will bring about a
" purgation by bayonetsthe Federal
Government being determined at all haz
ards to reseat the negroes.
In the first, place, we are by no means
sure that our Macon brother has proved
that this decision covers the right of the
negro to a seat in the Legislature. In the
second place, we are convinced that the
Supreme Court has no jurisdiction in (he
matter. And, in the third place, it is only
a supposition that the Central Government
intends to scare aud bayonet, our General
Assembly into the commission of a gigantic
stultification. We counsel endurance of
the laws we have, but it is just as well not
to jump at conclusions with regard to the
positive meaning of a most debatable de
cision.
1 art rot True. —A physician says:
Hell is full ol dyspeptics, and dyspeptics
are full of hell. When good Christians
learn that there is an intimate relation
and sympathy existing between the mucous
surface of a man’s stomach aud his soul,
they will take more care of their stomachs,
and by' so doing they may improve men
rapidly in many of the Christian graces—
virtue and patience, for instance ”
Chancre op Policy. —Having winked at
Cuban expeditions, for some time, the Gov
ernment has suddenly changed its policy
nud now swoops down upon the filibus
ters. The knowing ones declare that this
new move has been caused by the discov

ence from Spain and uot. for annexation to
the United States as a reconstructed prov

Letter from Lexington.
Lexington, Qa., June 18,1869.
Dear Constitutionalist : The Superior
Court of Oglethorpe county held a special
term, beginning on last Tuesday, for the
purpose of tryiug George Long, a person of
color, charged with the murder of Mary E.
Gray. The deceased, a young lady about
17 years of age, was louud dead in au old
pine Held, about two hundred yards from
her mother’s house, on the 27th day of
April last. There were two mortal wounds
on her forehead—one in the centre, caused
by a rifle or pistol ball, and one just above
the right eye, evidently caused by a violent
blow or blows, with some hard, heavy sub
stance. The skull bones were badly frac
tured, broken in and pressed on the brain.
There were prints of fingers on her throat,
showing plainly that she hart been choked.
On her right wrist were unmistakable
prints of teeth. The marks of violence on
her person made it convincingly clear that
she had been ravished by her murderer.
The evidence against the prisouer was
entirely circumstantial, but the chain of
testimony pointed conclusively to him as
the man who perpetrated the two-fold and
all villainous crime. It was proved that
he had been in pursuit of a purpose to
wards the deceased for many months ; that
he had often said he intended to accomplish
this purpose or kill her, and that a few days
"before the murder he had made many and
serious efforts to get a pistol.
The ground on which the deceased was
lying was au elevated, hard place in a pine
field, covered with pine straw and the old
and new sedge, so that no trace or track
■was found nearer the body than about one
hundred and forty or one hundred and for
ty-five yards. On the day after the mnr
der, Mr. John M. Kidd, an uncle of deceas
ed, and several other witnesses, discovered,
in a piece of loose ground, which had been
rooted up by hogs about that distance from
the body, two human tracks going in a di
rection leading from the body in almost a
straight line to the house where prisoner
lived. About two hundred yards farther
on they discovered the same tracks in a
wet red piece of ground. They continued
I to trace them for a mile aud a half or more
| across a branch and ajfteek, and into au*l
j along, the D.iniel.- viile road to witlriu a
I half mile of prisoner*! house, which is about
that distance from said road. They were
here forced to sfop'-by tUe c oming up of a
shower of rain, which obliterated llie
traces.
'They then arrested the prisoner, and car
ried him back to where the tracks were
most, distinct, and measured his feet, with
a pair of old boots on them, in file tracks.
'l'lie fit was perfect. There were five credit
able white men who swore that they never
saw a more complete fit. The boots were
both run down—both had large holes, aud
other peculiar matbs oil the sides and bot
toms, which were distinctly seen in the
tracks, and upon applying the hoots to
tlnun the coincidence was complete. The
prisoner acknowledged the fit, but denied
having committed the crime.
It should have been stated that the
tracks Were, on an average, five or six feet
apart, showing that the man who made them
was runuing. Their general direction was
towards prisoner’s house, though there was
one bend to the right of a direct line, made
in going to the creek. It was contended by
counsel lor the prosecution that this was
done in order to avoid wading the creek,
and that prisoner, in going out of a stragnt
line, went to’the nearest and most accessible
foot-log on the creek. It was proved that
after crossing the creek the tracks again re
sumed the line to prisoner’s house.
On the right sleeve of the shirt prisoner
had on when arrested were several reddish
stains. The doctors testified that two of
the smaller ones were positively blood,*and
that they had not been washed or diluted,
and that they thought the larger ones were
caused by a fluid, and not by a hard sub
stance like clay; that they had evidently
been washed or diluted, and were, in their
opinion, blood. The parts of the shirt
around the stains were whiter and cleaner
than other parts of it, showing that they
had been more recently washed.
This was the substance of the testimony
against the prisoner. The details going to
amplify and explain it, and to show the
animus of the prisoner towards deceased,
and the motives which induced him to
commit the crime, cover fifty-six pages of
foolscap paper. The prisoner had a fair
and impartial trial before a jury of intelli
gent gentlemen.
The prosecution was conducted by Col.
J. D. Mathews and W. G. Johnson, Esq.—
The Solicitor, Gen. J. M. Mathews, was
present.
The prisoner was defended by Capt. John
C. Reid and Hon. E. C. Shackelford.
The defense attempted to prove an alibi;
but it was not well made bnt.
Auother branch of the defense was to
throw the suspicion of the deed on some
one else, but there was nothing in the proof
to sustain this view.
The doctrine of reasonable doubt was al
so strongly urged in his favor.
The trial began Tuesday and was ended
this morning.
After the testimony was closed, the case
was ably argued to the court and jury by
counsel on botli sides. Nothing was left
incomplete either on the part of the State
or defense.
The charge of the presiding judge, Hon.
Garnett Andrews, was thought to incline
toward the shje of the prisoner. The jury
retired and returned a verdict of guiity,
last night, and this morning the jqdge
sentenced the prisoner to life-time imprison
ment in the penitentiary, instead of death,
for the reason that there might be a doubt
of his guilt. The ; people here have ; felt a
deep interest in this trial and now the pub
lic mind is relieved, but it is almost uni
versally thought that the prisoner ought
to have been sentenced to be hung, for
nearly every man In the community Is fully
satisfied of his guilt, and if guilty there is
no palliation. Hurriedly, yours,
L. de E.
The Controversy Between Chief Justice
Pearson, of the Supreme Court of
North Carolina, and the Raleigh Bar.
A few days since, on account of the al
leged partizau conduct of the newly elected
Judges in North Carolina, the members of
the Bar presented the following protest:
Active and open participation in the strife
of political by any judge of the
•State, so far as we recollect, or tradition or
history has informed us, was unknown to
the people until the late exhibitions. To
say that those were wholly unexpected, and
that a prediction of them, by the wisest
amongst us, would have been spurned as
incredible, would not express half of our
astonishment, or the painful shock suffered
by our feelings when we saw the humiliat
ing fact accomplished.
Not only did we not anticipate it, but
thought it was impossible to lie done in our
day. Many of us have passed through po
litical times almost as -excited as those of
to-day, and most of us, recently, through
one more excited; but never before have
we seen the Judges of the Supreme Court,
singly or en masse, moved from that becom
ing propriety so indispensable to secure the
respect of the throwing aside
the ermine, rush into the mad contest of
polities under the.excitement of drums and
flags. From the unerring lessons of the
past we are assured that a judge who
openly and publicly displays his practical
party zeal, renders himself unfit to hold the
“ balance of just ice,” and Unit whenever an
occasion may offer to serve his fellow-par
tisans, he will yield to the temptation and
tisaus, he will yield to the temptation and
the “ wavering balance ” will shake.
It is a natural weakness in man that he
who warmly and publicly identifies himself
with a political party will be tempted to
uphold the party which upholds him, and
all experince teaches us that a partisan
judge cannot be safely trusted settle the
great principles of apolitical constitution
while he reads and studies the book of its
laws under the banners of a party.
Unwilling that our silence should be con
strued into an indifference to the humiliat
ing spectacle now passing around us ; in
fluenced solely by a spirit of love and vene
ration for the pastrjjUvitY which has distin
guished the admiaHratiou of the law in
our State' animate by the hope that the
voice of the bar of North Carolina will not
be powerless to avert the pernicious exam
ple which we have denounced, and to re
press its contagions influence, we have, un
der a sense of solemn duty, subscribed and
published this paper.
This protest was signed by 108 of the
leading men of the State bar, aud at once
called forth the anger of the partisan judges
of the Supreme Court, who, though un
named, felt the force of the truths herein
exposed, and thereupon Chief Justice Par
sons, in Raleigh, June 8, 1869, (who is he?)
orders that the clerk of this court inquire
and report to this court which of the per
sons whose names appear to be signed to
said publication are attorneys practicing in
this court. The clerk then reported that
the following attorneys were practicing in
this court:
Messrs. B. if. Moore. E. G. Haywood,
Thos. Bragg, Sion H. Rogers, Joseph B.
Batchelor, Ai S. Merrimon, H. A. Gilliam,
C. M. Busbec, Wm. Eaton, Jr., E: Conig
laud, G. V. Strong, J. F. Wooten, John
Hughes, Richard W. York, W- A. Jenkins,
Win. K. Barham, Asa Biggs, T. J. Jarvis,
C. C. Clark, Win. T. Dortch, T. B. Venable,
John Kerr, Z. B. Vance, Joseph J. Davis
and E. J. Warren.
The court then ordered that the attor
neys named in said report be disabled from
hereafter appearing as attorneys or counseUers
in this court, unless they shall severally ap
pear on the 15th of .Tune, 1869, and show
cause to the contrary. The gentlemen who
were present left the court room.
The intelligent correspondent of the
New York Express thus comments upon
this affair:
The protest referred to was not against
the judicial acts or conducts of the judges,
but a protest simply against, thp course of
the judges In taking open, active, partisan
action in the political canvass, in writing
for papers, speaking and presiding at heat
ed. political meetings, resulting, as on one
occasion, in a personal collision between a
judge and one of his Republican friends.
The gentlemen whose names are signed
to this protest are, at least, the peers of the
judges, in all social, professional and per
sonal relations. The protest was intended
to force on the notice of the bench the de
sire of the people to have those entrusted
with judicial authority avoid all conduct
inconsistent with an unbiased judgment
and unapproachable integrity in the dis
charge of their duties. These protestants,
conscious that these judges were to be in
office for some considerable Time, were de
sirous alike to have as friendly relations
with the bench as possible, and to secure,
as far as the bench was capable, a just dis
charge of their duties; for it was clear
bepond cavil that the heated asperities en
gendered bv a furious canvass disqualified
the judges thus participating from rightly
discharging their duties.
In tliis order these gentlemen are first
punished, by not being allowed to appear
in cases in which they are engaged, afid
then a day is fixed to hear their defense.
It would seem, by the action of the court,
that it proposes to justify and continue its
partisan action, which, it must know, can
not fail to excite distrust and condemna
tion in every right, mind of every party.
This is to lie regretted, as the people of
the State seemed disposed to accord to the
judges every consideration which their
couduet would allow. Some of the bench
have talent, and all might exhibit an integ
rity and devotion to their duty which would
secure respect and consideration.
It would seem the bench has made a mis
take in forcing an issue, which indicated a
justification of their political course and a
purpose.to continue violent and bitter and
active partisans. This conclusion of the
bench is a calamity to the whole people of
the State, and sows broadcast the seeds of
distrust in the judiciary. A total absti
nence from the political arena, by elevating
the bench in the estimation of all parties’
would do a vast deal more good to their
party than can possibly their active parti
sanship in the open field of politics. It is
to be hoped that a full consideration of the
matter will induce the bench, on the 15th
instant, to consider the protest, as no act
of “ contempt” for the court, but simply an
adjuration to secure honor by deserving it.
Encouragement to Immigration.
The New York Herald speaks as follows
of the Southern railroad consolidation ef
fected for the purpose of aflfording better
facilities for travel and observation to those
desiring to emigrate to the South :
The judicious reduction of fares on the
Southern railways must directly promote
and facilitate Northern and foreign immi
gration to the South. Immigrants, with
their capital of money and skilled labor,
can nowhere find more desirable homes or
more profitable returns than in the vast
territory embraced between the Potomac,
Ohio and Mississippi rivers and the Atlan
tic ocean and Gulf of Mexico. Within these
boundaries there is such a diversity of sur
face, soil and climate that most of the fruit
and all the grains—in some localities two
crops of certain varieties of corn and fruits
annually—can be successfully and profit
ably cultivated. The central and most ele
vated region, including portions of Vir
ginia, North and South Carolina, Tennes
see, Georgia aud Alabama, in particular,
for salubrity of climate, grandeur of scene
ry and abundance and purity of water can
not be excelled. With its deposits of gold,
of iron equal in fineness to any in the
world; of coal, copper, marble, granite and
slate ; with its immense water powers, in
many instances located in the heart of the
cotton producing belt; with its almost
limitless forests, including all the varieties
of wood used in the mechanical art; with
its cotton, rice, sugar, oranges, gmpes.
and, in the higher regions, its grain and
stock, the South offers to labor and capital
the most splendid promises of immediate
and prospective profit. A full development
of the extraordinary resources of the South
would in a few years largely increase the
taxable property of the country and mate
rially lessen taxation. The Soqth is capa
ble of sustaining a hundred fold more than
its present population. Immigrants will now
be heartily welcomed by the Southern people.
The national wealtli would be incalcula
bly increased by turning immigration into
Southern channels. Every bale of cotton
raised by those who should settle on the
cotton lands of the South would pay trib
ute to the General Government, while the
grain growers of the West pay compara
tively nothing. It is of national interest
and importance that immigration to .the
South should be encouraged.

Cuba, War, Etc.
“ A Spanish soldier who had lately re
turned from the interior, says the insur
gents kill an average of 3,000 persons
monthly, and that disease is making havoc
among them.”
And this is war—the kind of war of
which we have had four years’ experience
.in the United States, which so. many of us
encourage in Cuba and Spain, whicli Sena
tor Sumner and others invite, for party
considerations merely, with Great Britain
—which many rather hope will take place
as between Prussia aud France—which
meets our approbation as between Turkey
and Greece, or between Russia and Turkey,
and which seems for this part of the 19th
century, rather the abnormal condition of
society than the teachings of the Prince of
Peace. If Cuba can be so far independent
of Spain as to have a representative gov
ernment, a free State, the abolition of slave
ry, local taxatiou, and federal representa
tion, will such a war pay? Or, if Spain
can hold Cuba, as Great Britain might
have held the United States before denying
free representation with taxation, and such
concessions as would satisfy an intelligent
and reasonable people, will it pay Spain to
lose 3,000 men a month bv direct war, and
as many more by disease ? Will it pay, i.s
always a wise aud practical question. The
rebellion cost the North and West 300,000
lives aud the South as many more. Did it
pay ? It cost over $6,000,000,000 in money
and corresponding taxes. Did it pay ?
The joint war cost the country the blood
spilt upon 500 battle fields—the lives of
lens of thousands of brave sous and fathers,
tt made thousands of widows and tens of
thousands of orphans, and cost the first
and best a flections of mothers, wives aud
children. Did it all pay ? The sentiment
alist says, yes; and declares how noble it
is to die for one’s country! Certainly, it
is very noble to die for one’s country; but
isn’t it just as noble to live for one’s coun
try -■ —to save life as to take it ?—to restore
and build up, as well as to pull down and
destroy ? If the Gospel of Christ is not a
myth—mercy and reason not a lie —and
free and intelligent government not a
mockery—then is war a curse, and its ad
voces blind, selfish and wicked—one of
these, or altogether. The loudest advocates
of war are generally those who never ex
pose themselves in battle—aud those who
count the cost as of no account are general
ly the men who either expect to lose noth
ing by it, or to profit more by it.
The Appointment of the “ Ex-Pro
visional.”—Concerning the appointment
of “ ex-Provisional” Governor Johnson to
supercede Judge Worrell, the Columbus
Sun says, and not without application:
It is known that Mr. Johnson is per
sonally objectionable to nearly all of those
who are likely to be affected in any way
the exercise of his judicial power. It is
patent to himself aud to Bullock, that he
does not enjoy to any extent the esteem,
confidence or respect of any portion of the
people thus made subject to his authority.
During the war, and unceasingly since its
close, by word and deed, he has shown him
self to be the implacable foe of the people
over whom he is now raised in authority.
Rumors of most plausible shape have been
rife in this community on more than one
occasion of declarations upon the part of
Johnson of his intention and desire to
punish our people for their political con
tumacy, and unconcealed contempt for
himself.
, known to be infirm of temper and
habit to such an extent as to unfit him for
the duties and responsibilities of the bench,
even if he could carry his professional at
tainments and legal ability to that position
tree from the miserable personal bias and
political partizanship which so characteriz
ed his conduct as Provisional Governor and
his subsequent course.
In support of the grave assertions which
we have felt it our duty to make, we have
only to cite the fact that Johnson was the
active partizan of the incendiary nigeer
Bradley, and voted for that wretch in pre
ference to one of the most distinguished
and best gentlemen of the Savannah Bar.
And upon this proof, we unhesitatinglv
pronounce any man so far forgetful of the
duties of citizenship and the respectability
of white manhood as to do this,act, utterly
unfit to sit in judgment upon the lives and
property of the honest and virtuous people
of this country.

SPECIAL NOTICES.
Grand Jury PresmtitM&ts,
The Grand Jury of tlie First Week of the Superior
Courtof Richmond county Leg leave to a akc the fol
lowing repot t: *
THE COUNTY J AIL.
By committee, we have visited the County Jail, aud
find the same to he to good order ar.d kept oil h a
proper regard to cleanliness and safety of the prison
ers. Os 28 prisoners, there are 2 white and 76 colored.
THE PUBLIC ROADS,
as a general thing, are in fair order. Ihe following
bridges are now passable, hut will soon require to be
rebuilt: The bridge over Butler’s Creek, on the Sa
vannah road; over Spirit Creek, on the Louisville
road; over Rocky Creek, on Murray Mill road, and
over Butler’s Creek, near Belleville Factory. Ihe
causeway at Morrill’s Mill, on Bandy Run, is not in
good order.
We recommend that the Superintendent of the
Roads be furn'shed with fifteen able bodied hauds ;
and if such hands cannot be employed for less than
sl2 per month, we suggest that he be aathorized to
employ them. We are'of the opinion that Judge
Levy ha3 done in this matter all that couU.be accom
plished.
The road at McDade’s Mill wa find is t<jo narrow, it
being only 21 feet wide. We recommend that a ditch
40 yards long, 2 feet wide and 6 iaches deep, be cut, to
drain the same, and that the creek water be kept from
the road by a dam.
We recommend that as Mr. Stickeie’s fence, at the
fork of the old Milledgevi le and Favannah roads, is
In the road, that it be remov. and, to make the same cf
proper width. We also recommend that all work
cease on the road from Bassibid’s Brick Yard to
Moore’s Lagoon after October Is 1 ,186!).
THE POOR HOUSE
is neatly kept and in good order. Additional room is
wanted for the inmates, to secure th ir health. We
find 5 males and 11 females now In the building. We
commend a neat School Qous-», erected by Judge
Levy, and find 25 acres of land in tine cultivation.
THE CLERK’S OFFICE,
in the Superior Court, presents ab. tier "appearance
I han we have seen for years, and we comm end the
order and system which seems to have claimed so
much attention from the Depu'y Clerk, Mr. F. L.
Cooper.
The Grand Jury fiud that the Erlucaiional Fund
has keen properly applied, and, we believe, produc
tive of much good.. Since the appropriation of last
year, the Roman Catbolie Church has applied for a
portion of the fund, and the amount proves inade
quate. We recommend that the sum Assessed this
year he increased, if possible, $2,000, which will make
the appropriation about $14,000 for the’coming year.
The pay of teachers is 7 cents per day for each schol
ar, which is hardly adequate.
The condition of the Ordinary’s OfUcc lias been
much improved under appropriations for that pur
pose, and we fiud that officer's accounts kept in a
coat and methodical manner.
INSOLVENT TAX PAYERS.
The Collector of Taxes was unable to fnruish a list
of insolvent tax payers; arising from the fact that
the time had been extended and a correct list could
not be furnished. A speedy report, however, to the
election precinc'M is promised. A not/ mop of the
county is recommen’ed.
COUNTY FINANCES.
Probably the most important of all matters which
require the attention of the Grand Jn-y, and in which
the whole people are inlere ted, is the finances of llie
County. We find an immense and unjust tax levied
upon the people of this county to conduct ils adminis
tration, and to which we invite the attention of the
people and our successors. We know of no way to
remedy this evil but to require a published detailed
statement of the Treasurer’s accounts, prior to the sit
ting of each Grand Jury, in order that the same may
be e osely scrutinized by that body. The amount
paid for insolvent cost in cases ihe Magis
trates’ Courts isa heavy burden upon tlrfTpcordc, and
while we recognize the fact th it. a considerable ex
pense is unavoidable fro.u Ibis cause, weave convinced
that the amount can be materially reduced by a re
fusal to entertain numberless cases that are frivolous
in their character, and not worthy of notice. $1,552 32
is only a part of the funds paid on this account since
January last, and for combined oouTt expenses $6,579,
which will make the administration of justice cost us
in $13,000 per annum. It must be apparent to any
one that this amount is too la-ge, and is too great a
tax upon an impoverished people. It may be worthy
of rem .rk, that of the large amount paid fur insolvent
costs not one dollar has been applied for by Justices
of the Peace in the country districts.
We recommend that the Ordinary be instructed to
carefully examine every item of expense connected
wi h this service, an 1 lie clothed with power to refuse
payment of such amounts as he may deem excessive,
and we further recommend that.our su-cessors inves
tigate the details of the Treasurer's report, as time is
too limited for a proper inquiry by this ju-y.
Wo acknowledge ourselves indebted to his Honor
Judge Gib-on, for his able and comprehensive charge,
and which we commend 'o the careful consideration
< f the whole community
