CONSTITUTION AIjIST. 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 ery' that Cuba was fighting for independ ence from Spain and uot. for annexation to the United States as a reconstructed prov ince, ala Texas,. 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. fProm the New York Expire*. 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.

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 Tfo the Solicitor Gent, at, we are indebted for hU courtesy and valuable assistance.
