Not he who rides through conquered citj’e At head of blazoned hoete, and to the sound Of victor’s trumpets, in full pomp Mad state Of war, the utmost pitch has dreamed or found . , , To which the thriU of triumph can be wound; Nor he who by a nation's vast acclaim Is sudden sought and singled out alone, And while the people madly shout his name, With a conscious purpose of hi* own. Is swung and lifted to the nation’s throne. But he who has all single-handed stood With foes invisible on every side, And. unsuspected of the multitude, The force of fate itself has dared, defied And conquered silently. Ah, that soul knows .... . In what white heat the blood of triumph flows. LIFE’S WEST WINDOWS. We stand at life’s west windows, And think of the years that have gone ; Remembering the coming sunset, We too must remember the morn ; But the sun will set, the day will close, And an end will come to all our woes. As we watch from the western casements, Reviewing our happy youth. We in jure for i's vanished promise Of honor, ambition and truth ; But hopes will fail and pride decay, When we think how soon we must away. Wo stand at life’s west windows, And tum not sadly away, To watch on our children’s faces The noontide c f sparkling day ; But our sun must set. our lips grow dumb And to look from our windows our children come. Htill looking from life's west windows, And wo know we would DOt again Look forth from the eastern lattice, And live over all life’s pain; Though life’s sunrise be brilliant, its sunset is Rince it brings longed for rest to our weary feet. .

Stephens sent for Senator Gordon, of Georgia, to-day, and desired him to cor rect the report of a conversation be tween himself and Mr. Fish, late Secre tary of State. Mr. Stephens stated that be did not see the report until his atten tion was called to it; that the report in many respects was incorrect. What ho did say was, in substance,that the South needed more than anything else home rule and riddance of the evil of carpet bagger office holders. In reference to President Hayes, Mr. Stephens said that if he aimed at a pacification of the coun try it would require great firmness on his part in adhering to the principles of his inaugural address. What was want ed was uou-iutervention and the with drawal of the troops from the support of either government in South Caroling or Louisiana. He also said that in con ferring offices in the Southern States the President should look to those men who had the confilence of the people of the Southern States, without reference to present political creeds or association. Ho should do as Washington did in the beginning. He appointed Hamilton and Jefferson both as members of his Cabi net. when he knew that they were dra metrciallvopposed in political principles. Mr. Stephens said in the appointment of Mr Kev the President had initiated the example, and if. in his appointments .to all other offices, he should pursue this line of policy, be might do vast good, and secure real peace sad union. Hut in order to do this, he must lose sight of the juterest of his party, kee P in Tie w the great idea of securing the best me.i for office, and romping anr mosity the people the prosperity and preserving the peace, harmony and liberty of the conn ry.

THE MEW i,BANDER. Translated fnr the Chronicle and Constitu tionalist, front the Herman of Max Van Sehlnecel. CHAPTER MI—CONTINUED. Captain Kornfaessel, who, during hia j struggles in the thicket, had formed an unwavering resolution to make his in considerate First Lieutenant feel the whole weight of his shaken confidence, was most indignantly surprised when he stepped upon the platform and only the tiresome face of his Second Lieutenant greeted him with a jovial smile. “Where ia Walden ?” asked her stern ly. “He has requested me to take bis j tour of duty for a few hours. He j seemed to have been somewhat chilled.” Kornfaessel walked impatiently up j and down the platform. Until now, Walden had been most careful to keep the friendly relations which existed be-1 tween himßelf and the Captain entirely ■ separate from his official intercourse, and usually in his delicacy had gone | farther than Kornfaessel wished. There- j tore, he was the more astonished that' the ’ first lieutenant now all at once seemed to throw aside the considera tion which was due to his superior ; j and as the Captain himself was more I good natured and eccentric, than truly , refined and cultivated, he forgot that it j was Walden’s subordinate to whom he Bpoke. “The Lieutenant has all at once be- j come quite capricious and reserved, only in my opinion, he has selected a very unfortunate time for it.” ] Mihalasy shrugged his shoulders with a significant smile. “Walden believes in the war as little as I do, and as for the rest, we are all men.” The Captain stood looking at the Lieutenant searchingly, and then asked do you mean to say by that ? You have once before to-day made a strange remark about ‘travelling adven tures’or something similar.” Mihalasy’s expession seemc-d to indi cate that prudence would not permit him to make any farther communication, but the Captain walked close up to him and said in the most determined voice, while his eyes almost hid themselves un der his brows, and every feature of his face worked convulsively: “Out with it! What is the matter with Walden ? The seriousness of the situation, which our over-wise yoUDg gentlemen may believe in or not, makes . it my right as well as my duty to know what my officers are doing”— “Now, now,” said Mihalasy laughing, “the lady who yesterday afternoon (when the Captain was planning a per manent fortification), drove to the red house and alighted there, had quite a true imperial look, and the waiting maid was not b and either. You must j know the large red house ala Doges | palace where the foolish Count lived, who was such a violent Italian, and ac tually went away from here because he ! could not bear to s-e the imperial uui forms. I must confess I would rutner j look at the neat occupant, than at him with his “dagger fsou,” In spite of the jesting tone, which al ways seemed to the lieutenant must ap-. propriate for earnest occasions, the i captain remained perfectly serious, and j asked abruptly : “The lady was tall, not very len-; der—” , ! “Dragoon size," hastily interrupted | Mihalasy. who felt in his native element, “Slender? He* waist can no longer bo spanned with two hands, but at the same time her figure is perfectly proportioned and very graceful— How she sprung out of the carriage j Really the waiting maid was not bad either^.” “Bright color, and quick in her pave ments, brown eyes, hair a medium be tween blonde and light brown, full face said the Captain, continuing his description. “Zounds, how much you saw at a glance 1” cried Mihalasy most pleasant ly, stirred up by the subject. “Simply say a splendid specimen of a woman; and you will hit the nail on the head.” “Bhe must be now ftbPlff forty years of age.” With elegant nonchalance, the Jjtou tenant rested his elbow on a sand bag and shook his hend knowingly: “We will say five and thirty or very well preserved. She is certainly no longer in her first bloom—already rather a rip# beauty. The maid on the contrary.” “According to you* Awyipwon, the lady is no ottier than the divorced of Count Bandimiani, the man with the ‘dagger face,’ as yon call t,” decided the captain, who seemed to bo very deeply interested in this discovery, “ And Walden knows that the Countess is here ?" “To be aura be knows it, said Mika lasy. . “Indeed be cauuoc eotm to the in spection, because be is with her all dgy. When the two ladies arrived, J foand myself in the neighborhood and did not leave immediately, for a man must re joice when he sees a civilized human tace in this hole. Judging by the stupid face of the old gardener at the red house, ho was very much surprised to see them. The ladies went immediately into the house as if they were perfectly at home, and I was just going away, wjifh the maid, quite a splendid girl of eighteen, came tripping down the stairs, and with out giving me any warning, sprang; to ward* me, and asked in fluent Viennese if I were First Lieutenant von Walden ; wkereupou she laughed immoderately. I made her a low bow (for in my opin ion, one should not forget his politeness towards servants, particularly if they be long to the fair sex), and regretted, on i this occasion, that I was neither a first Lieutenantor Mr.von Walden. However, if a Lieutenant would do, I would very willingly pass for Walden. All of which seemed very ludicrous to t.bis Viennese child of nature, for after eoutowplat ng me attentively, she uttered these re markable words : “But how stupid of me—of course you cannot be Walden, ! for he has a white coat and a blonde beard, so my Countess says.” I assured her that owing to her youth she could not be expected to know the different branches of the service in iba Imperial army, like an old sergeant, and that, since I had seen her I infinitely prefer red dark hair to blonde. Pepi (for so the little sprite was called) proved sus ceptible to such compH ents, and told m how her poor Countess had co peace ' anywhere, aDd at time* wept so much, I and then again would be very gay; how they had spent the whole Winter uFpr in Carinthia, in a huge castle which stood all alone on a mountain, where nothing was to he seen but birches and snow and ravens, and where a very severe Winter was prevailing when they came away, bhe j had ulways been afraid of i he bla;k tow f ers and high chambers and halls in which ! at night no matter how brilliantly they i were illuminated, one could newer sets the ceiling. In every corner a dozeu ghosts might have bem sitting, thought Pepi. From tfc*sre they went to Venice, and her highnee* became still sadder. Pepi could understand that very well, for she was even less abto to console herself in this strange town which looked ! all the year through as if the Danube j had overflowed. It seemed wonderful I to Pepi, too, that the people here and there spoke a language which she did not understand and which un derstood perfectly among eaeh atb er. The darling had, indeed, heard’ many a time of Italians at school, but had considered them aawtt of wandering people scattered all over thn earth, whose special occupations were selling | plaster of Paris figures, exhibiting white mice, and making the most lugubrious music on the bagpipes. We were in the middle of a pleasant conversation, ana , had entirely forgotten our friend vVal den when 'he apparently accidentally came up the path. The Countess’ de scription must have been excellent, for with the cry: “That is Walden !” Pepi hnrried to pg r first Lieuten ant and needed no persnsitoS to °°D dnet him into the Castle. I remained I near by, for I hoped that the charming Pepi woahi pome again; but after sev | eral hours, just as J bad reconciled my -1 self to the inevitable, and was going ! sway, Walden came out looking very absent-minded. When he saw me, he; j gaid that h<s was about going to me to ! beg that I would attend to his duty for the rest of the day. It was rath-r a peculiar request, for each one is sup i posed to have his own little affairs on hand. But Waldea seemed to take the j thing so seriously that I consented. ! Undoubtedly only to be in harmony with the subject, Mihalasy’s “magyanzed | aipiy German” had gradually charged into a vehement Viennese, which could scarcely have tossed from Pepi’s tender ' HP B - - -At Tbe Captain bad listen©* yith a gloossiv earnestness which yery sin cerely meant, bgfc which on account of his unfortunate features bordered very etoeely upon the ridiculous resting his eleueimi fist upon a sand bag so he made a deep impression thereon. he said half aloud as if speaking to him self, and not entirely without ttegtnpai **“80, the temptress has followed him ovetl feere, and all that he to me in -Vepjpe was idle dissimulation. “Bv vour toss’*'" interrupted Miha lssv, wtio felt mash stored by the com monications which were at to* disposal, and by Pepi's confidence : * it A? vet not so certain that the Coun tess has come toer.c on Walden s account, at least Pepi told *v that previously she had never heard anything of our first lieutenant, but that the confess had apqken very often of her daughter, j And as she was driving through toe i streets of jeayqap she had suddenly leaned back in her carriage, and said as if in deadly tear: “ Henry von Walden is here !” However, before Pepi had time to get a look at Walden the carriage had pass ed, and as soon as they were in the Cas tle the Countess commanded her very peremptorily to inquire for an officer, von Walden, and if she fonnd him, to brißg him to her. It seems therefore”— “ That she will in no event, betray herself to her servant,” said Kornfaes sel, who in consequence of his unhappy physiognomy and his eccentric war fan cy, had had little opportunity to inves tigate the foundation of all the roman tic stories, which he had heard of dev ilish and intriguing women; and had in his zeal for the peace of mind and the honor ef his first lieutenant, forgotten how little qualified Mihalasy was for a confidant. With gloomy determination, he laid his hand on his lieutenant’s shoulder, looked sharply around him, and said im pressively : “ We will recall Walden to his duty and to his honor. If he requests you again to take his tonr of duty, refuse and send him to me.” “ As you command, captain !” answer ed Mihalasy, who had already maturely reflected that he must renounce the ex pectation of seeing the charming Pepi again, if he served every day for his more fortunate first lieutenant. The Captain did not seem willing to speak any farther on the subject, but examined with the greatest zeal the pro gress of the improvements on the gun platforms, and at last descended into the casemates. Soon afterwards a thun dering rolling, which made the fort tremble, showed that he was not at all pleased with the position of the guns which Mahalasy had arranged. But in spite of all his energy, bis fresh, joyful, military ardor was much embittered. In the execution of the heroic resolutions by which he expected to astonish the world, Karnfaessel had depended first of all upon bis own talents, bnt next to them, upon the qualities of the officer of the infantry division assigned to him. He had known Henry von Walden at the military school, and notwithstanding the difference in their ages, their ao quaintaDce had never been entirely dis continued, but they had become more intimate of recent years, when change of garrisons (although they belonged to ! diflerent divisions, yet they were in the same branch of the service), brought them together again, as in Brescia, in Venice, nd at last in Laveno. They were both amiable and honorable, sin ; cere and adventurous, and both with out any particularly strong family ties. Walden understood Karnfaessel’s peculiar mind, and had few criticisms for his remarkable exterior which al ways provoked the sneers of others, while on the other hand, the captain clung with warm, reverent, indeed al most childlike affection and respect to his young comrade, upon whose noble qualities, hia romantic disposition plac ed the highest value. Finally, they had spent almost all of their yearly recur ring leaves of absence together, and many a valley of Tyrol and Steyermaick could tell of the merry harmless pranks, the bold, chinbing parties, and the un ruffled tempers of the two wanderers, who sought to refresh themselves dur ing a short summer week for a long year in barracks and on the drill grouud. Iu many a difficult mountaiu pass, in stepping over many a glapier chasm, Kornfaessel had had occasion to admire the courage and perseverance of his young friend; and eveu in Venice. Wal den’s reckless disregard of death suc ceeded in creating new unknown dan gers in the usually peaceful lagoon. Kornfaessel’s friendly regard for his more youthful comrade went so far that it was considered pretty certain that he had already very quietly bequeathed his tolerably large fortune tp top p°P r fl rst fipgtenant. All at oppp ft shadow had passed over the relations between the tWP friends by a report in Venice whioh designated Henry Von Walden, the destroyer of the peace of a hitherto happy family ; as the lover of his cousin much older than himself, the Countess Bandimiani, whose palace on the large canal, on ac count of the well known loyal senti ments of its owner and the German de epest pf the (jountess, was always open to the Austtiap officer?*. The Count h 4 suddenly closed his doors against them, was virtually, though still perhaps not hgaily divoroed from his wife, and had taken his little daugh ter to a remote spot in North Italy, out of bitterness and pain, it was said, on account of the indiscreet relations be tjyepn his wife and the young officer. I Owing to the tpJprSrrPP which at that time I prevailed in military ctfOjps fpvards I those s.orts pf pepcadillos, the rumors Whjoli b a 4 been caused by this affair, ceased the mpfe quickly. as tbe Confess had gone away* &t tjqp SBgip time, and Walden behaved as if the whole at fair did not in the least concern him. It was only to be regretted that the one who formed the central figure of these rjq .-nf.rft was a Venetian nobleman par ticpfaWv d.ey.otejJ fp the imperial govern ment. Put jKorniaepeef, fjfogp vivid imagination w as often pomfriueff With a touching abiliHifce ignopancp of the world, did not pass over tbn occurrence so lightly as hie clever, easy-goiDg com rades. Asa general thing, he avoided csmpaDy with almost hostile timidity, and had not even visited the Bandimiani house, but still he could not be mis taken'to j;i)inkip" that Walden went thpj’o top freqoepjiiy, iPi+ ip a way which bto dtofrnt copsjpsjiip <?jd not seem altogether to justify, perhaps he might have beep inflijepcefi by a jealousy of the friend, ou whose ac count lie bad been somewhat neglected of late by WaldeD; at any rate, Kornfaes sel eptered into strict judgment against iiiiS.- WaMei) f ar . frop disputing the apDropriatenees ni b'e ffienalj’ inter ference, went to him at opce,aup with every appearance of Sincerity that the remarkable occurrences itt the Bandimiani house were to him inex plicable, although he only knev of these from Jmar'Wi I° r t> e bed bad no com munication ffbto If?/ 0 P°fl n *r exce pt that, in future bis visjto wojilq npt be jrepeiy ed by the Couutees, Tbpp WMden gave his word of honor, that between the Countess and himself there had been only a perfectly respectful, friendly re ifttiop, which was proper for him as the young pf a lady older than him self; confidential rplatyppa as he joking ly (lopfesspd had beep established be tween him apd the little Caroline, whose admirations of his talents had parried her away very often to quite strong ca resses. Walden said, too, that although the Countess was really a very clever and amiable lady, the sudden separation from tbe depr little creature affected ■ im more deeply tffaa levying her moth et, Walden's esplanatiop had beep Riven with such genuine sadness, that Korn faessel apologized for his suspicions, and promised to act as his second against any one who made a wry faee about this matter. However, tbe cap tain found b occasjpn to do so, for, as we said before, the rest of his poigj-ades thought as kindly as of tbe affair as he did, and it really grieved this faithful Pylades that there was no cause for shooting aDy body. Kaf potwitbstanding all the kindness and gentleness jyhich had fallen to his lot, it was evident tuat had not forgotten the treatment which he had received in the house of Bandimiani, 1 fpr he repaired immediately to the 1 Couol, when he became aware of bis presence in Liaveuo, j?bjtherhis regiment and Kornfaessel’s battery had lately 1 beeu ordered. He believed still that he i would be able to suggest an explanation, as the pountpss was not present, and henoe there could bp no foundation for a misconstruction of this step. H ow ‘ ever, be bad been dismissed at the very threshold by the formerly polite and re served Count, in a way which gave evi dence of a deep and inveterate animosity. Kornfaessel had approved of Walden’s course, and Bhared his agitation, when the first lieutenant, pale and deeply moved, came back from the palace, and related that the Count had e*pepge_d his astonishment that a man would daro io jgsin approach a family whose hospitality and confidence he had so unworthily abused. In vain : Walden had asserted his innocence and : hi* iguoysnee of the offense with which he was charged. Jb. e Count would not even listen to fiim. apd left hipi stand- i ing on the steps a spectacle fojr the do mestics, who had been drawn thither by their motor’s loud angry words. Then Kornfaessel paff been of the opinion that Walden could not remain quiet under the insult which had been offered him, and he was (as secret as the captain and he had kept the affair), in a measure, bound by the existing code of honor to challenge the Count. Bandi miani received the captain, bnt refused to receive the challenge, because, as he said, he believed, according to the mild instinyta pf his people, that the crime, instead of betof prpiated, would only be added to in that way, au Mr von Walden seemed very anxions to rob his daughter pt her father. Kornfaessel, au Jittle of a diplomat as he’was, attejapiefl now to answer for bis fri®pfl# innocence, bpt toe Count with a bitter smile, presumed that bis own opinion of the flrt lieutenant’s character, had become unfortunately for the honse of Bandimiani a family mat ter, and hoped that he wonld be ex cased from discussing it with a stranger; therefore, he considered the converse- Um. at an end. Once more Kornfaes seus elbqti'Mtea made a desperate onset, bnt the Connt wived his band in a wav which was peculiarly Italian, and cut off all farther reply. XJpon which Kornfaessel withdrew, and gave the Connt by letter, eight days for consideration, but toe letter remained unanswered, and a short time after, the closed blinds of the red house, and the absence of nearly all the domes tics, left no donbt that the Count bad departed with his little daughter. This was soon confirmed by tbe additional information that Bandimiani bad set tled on the opposite shore, and had thrown himself completely into the arms of the Piedmontese. Kornfaes sel, who was still not satisfied, proposed to his friend a regular challenge to force a duel upon the in solent Italian, who presumed to sneer at all the old established ideas of honor. Bnt Waldren had disarmed his over zealous friend, by confessing with an earnest smile, that he would never have shot at the father of little Caroline. Since that time the captain had treat ed his yonng friend with a sort of rever ence which would have been scarcely compatible with their official relations, if Walden’s delicacy had not found therein an inducement to mark more strongly than ever in all official matters Kornfaessel’s position as his superior. It bad been also at the Captain’s most urgent request that on the departure of the regiment, Walden had been left with his division as a support. And now his child like sincerity and faith, indeed everything good that Korn faessel had believed of his young friend, was suddenly transformed into treachery and deceit. Walden had for years de ceived him in the most bare-faced and unnecessary manner, out of pure love of untruth and was unworthy of his friend ship because he kept up a' culpable un derstanding with the wife of an other man—a weakness upon which, in his up rightness, the Captain bestowed the most contemptuous names. [To be Continued in next Sunday's Chronicle.] THE AIKEN EXECUTION. A Card from Mr. J. St. Julien Votes. Aiken, S. C., March 23, 1877. Editors Chronicle and Constitutionalist: In the account of the execution of the Hausman and Portman murderers, pub lished in the Constitutionalist of the 17th instant, gross injustice is done me by the insinuation conveyed by the Aiken reporter of that paper, the animus of which appears to me to have been in spired alone by personal hostility to me. I have no doubt that “great dissatisfac tion” was felt at the respite of Stephen Anderson by that class of spectators who were attracted to the melancholy scene by a morbid ouriosity which is their predominant characteristic, bnt I am loathe to believe that a stogie intelligent citizen of this community deprecated my course in the last act of the tragedy, prompted, as it was alone, by a desire to secure substantial justice to my client. It is natural that my own motives in the matter should be impugned by the ignorant honor hunter, who expressed the “ great dissatisfaction”—if any was really expressed—but I doubt if any one will successfully undertake to impeach the Governor’s action or motives. In pro curing the respite for Anderson, I did so because certain facts brought to my notice, after his conviction, warranted me in believing him justly entitled to such Executive clemency as the circum stances might seem to entitle him to. This I should have done from a reason able view of my duty to AndersoD, as his attorney, whether or not I had re ceived compensation for this profes sional service, and tj)e insinuation which the reporter makes that my no tion in the premises was dictated purely by mercenary motives, is as inconsist ent with the truth as I believe it to have sprung from motives as unworthy as they were unfitted to the occasion.

Wright said for years past the production of cotton goods has gone ahead of the consumption, and therefore as long as that state of things continues he didn’t see the wisdom of going be yond the piesent capacity of the mill. He wae wdUpg tp leave the whole mat ter with the pfhcer3.‘ pettpy }et well enough alone. President Sibley said he was as much in favor of enlarging the mill at the proper time as anybody. There was a Greater demand for goods in March of last year than this. Some of the largest stockholders want to e P e the mill in creased to its fullest capacity, but they want to see it done at the right time. On motion, the stockholders proceeded to the election of Directors. On motion, the following gentlemen were elected by acclamation : W. C. Lang’ev, F. J. Pelzer, Josiah Sibley, B. S.

THE PEOPLE MUST CONSIDER THE QUESTION, The Day of Election Approaching—Selec tion of Delegates—Candidates ” to the Rear—lmportance cf the Matter—Let the People Speak—. The Class of Men to Send— What a Correspondent Thinks. Editors Chronicle and Constitutionalist: The Constitutional Convention seems to excite very little interest thus far, and that little not of the right sort or from the right quarter. The inevitable pa triots who are ready to serve their country whenever an office, be it of hon or profit, is to be had, have, of course, begun to stir. Such manifestations seem to be absolutely unavoidable; even the call for a Convention evokes them. The millennium itself will hardly be free from them, and,doubtless, if the throne of omnipotence were to become unex pectedly vacant, men of this sort would canvass for the position and persecute their friends for “pledges of support.” There is doubtless enough of this sort of interest; for any, the least of it, is too much. But the in terest we would like to see is that of a people alive to the solemn fact, that by the assembling of a sovereign Conven tion, society is resolved again into its original elements, and that the re crea tion of the organic fabric calls for the deepest wisdom, the highest purity, the greatest prudence, and all the experience and learning in the science of gov ernment that can be brought to bear — all the acquaintance with the needs of society which intimate rel tions with its varied interests may secure. We want such an interest manifested as will recognize that on this great work there are needed no mere journeymen build ers, no mere sharp politicians; above all no men who are everlastingly and un tiringly, in the phrase of the day, which we apologise for using, “on the make,” who would go to the Convention with no adequate conception of the sacredness of the trust, and would regard it with the samesentiments that they would enter tain in reference to any other large-sized grindstone. Let the public voice call into this momentous service the best men—men too good to seek or decline it. As we read the Convention act, the apportion ment is such, that Richmond county should furnish four delegates. Let, then, public opinion remand all candi dates to the rear, and quietly settle down on four of our best citizens, se lected with a view to their excellence, and with reference, so far as such refer ence can be had without injury to more material considerations, to tbe diversi ty of tbeir pursuits. We name Govern or Charles J. Jenkins, retired from all active pursuits, but in the full vigor of his intellect, and with a rich store of wisdom, gathered in the e: - perience of a long life of public and private usefulness; Alexander C. Walker, the enlightened and cultured representative of our agricultural pop ulation; William Hope Hull, the head of the legal profession, the profound constitutional lawyer; Rob’t H. May, the clear headed representative of both the mercantile and mechanical classes ; Jeukius, Walker, Hull, May—will not this ticket satisfy all ? May not the whole community agree upon it? Will not, oh ! will not seif-nominated candi dates withdraw iu its favor ? Citizen. Ilou. Geo. R. Sibley ns a Delegate from Richmond. Editors Chronicle and Constitutionalist: When the present Constitution of Georgia was formed, the voice of the intelligent people of the Btate was drowned amid the confusion of defeat and the corrupt rqle of tyrannical aliens. Although the presence of a few upright and learned men in that Convention re lieved it from the charge of being a con gregation of dishonest ignoramuses, and preserved in its work some features of sonnd policy and good government, the people have never been fully satis lied with the organic law then set forth, They desired a Constitution of (heir own, and accordingly the Ijegialaiure passed a bill subiqittiug toe whole question to people, and providing Joy an election .of delegates at the sane time. It will be no mean honor to be r-hosen a delegate to thiv Convention. Our State is almost entirely free from partisan hatred and political excitement. Everything points to the selection of the truest, ablest and best men to be found. The controlling idea in the election of delegates should be to hay© 11 the im portant interests p.J tho State represent ed jn ihe Convention. The farmer should be there, the merchant, the banker, the lawyer, the physioian, the educator and the divine, so that our qew Constitution may speak thg yoie® o i all the people. But toe number of delegates assigned to a district will not admit of each com munity sending a representative of every iudividm 1 interest. One man will have to be the exponent of several principles. And for this reason the writer desire \o call attention to the peculiar stess of Mr. George Silta? w" a representa tive of the commercial md educational interests of Richmond oounty. His name has already been mentioned in oonueotion with the Constitutional Con vention, but it is presumed that was doue by reason of the prominent posi tion he has long held in the city aB a merchant and business man. The cause of public education is of far too great importance to be ppglepted in such a junqturg o( afijaiys. 3fts friends and'supnOrters haye a right to ask for representation, We know of no one who can represent us with moro fidelity a:d ability than Mr. Sibley. He is a gradu ate of Yale, a gentleman of cultivated mind, liberal views, splendid judgment and unimpeachable integrity. The writer does not think he is rash is asserting that the educational ipterestg of mond county witl'suppbrt My. Si'bley. CINCINNATUS. ipIlE RECENT LYNCHING. It is Comleniued in Severest Terms by tlje L'lHTfyi Last Sunday morning, at high mass, at the Church of the Sacred Heart, Rev. Father Joseph Heidenkamp said that before proceeding to offer any reflec tions upon the gospel of tfie flgy, he would speak of tb e yeoeut murder in Waynesboro! The following to a syn opsis of his remarks : “ It is my duty to call yonr attention to a truth which is very much lost sight of. An awfal crime has been committed. The murder of an innocent man, though terrible, was the least horrible part, for that was done by a negro scarcely above the brute intelligence and knowledge. The law was fully sufficient to inflict all the punishment he deserved. The greater guilt is attached to the men who dared to interfere with the law and with God. We are all, more or less, ac quainted with the circumstances of the outrage. Bnt what has that to do with us? Our hands are not red with blood. We have not been guilty of a deed dis graceful evep to savages. J will not in sult you by suspeeting that you took part in the murder, or that you sympa thised with it, or that you had failed to prevent it, had it been in your power to do so; nevertheless, we are very much concerned in it. I jpeak to the children of the church; to those who take an in terest in the honor of God; who feel an insult offered to the Divine Majesty as one offered to their personal feelings. There are a number Of men who have dared to snatch out qf the hands of God the right over life and death, to hurry a human soul, to save which Christ died on the cross, to judgment without in struction, without repentance, without baptism; men who have deliberately done tbe work of tbe devil, who are in the power of the devil, and sure to go to the devil should death find them as they are, although nothing else should be brought against them; men who have brought the curse of God upon them selves and upon others, as we are told that God visits the sins of the parents upon the children unto the third and fourth generation. * * We are un fortunately too much led to measure the character of sin by the evil conse quences it produces in this world; to lose sight ol the fact that it is an insult, an injury done tp the _ in finite majesty of God. To be mind ful of this is precisely onr duty. It devolves upon us to offer satisfaction, and make reparation to Him who died upon the cro£s to atone fer sin. Let ns, particularly daring the week of oar Lord's passion, go to His altar to ex press our sympathy, and beg for the grace of repentance for those who are now His enemies. * *. * It there were amongst us people infected with the plague, how would we dread infec tion; and yet what is pestilence wh'B compared to the curse clinging to these murderers? * * * Let us implore the mercy of the Lord, as Abraham prayed for the doomed inhabitants of Sodom; as Moses interceded for the children of Israel when the Lord’s hand was raised to strike. At the evening services at St. Patrick’s Church, Father Erendergast referred to the lynching, and condemned it in the most unmeasured terms. Our Saviour, he said, was taken from Pilate by a mob, and tlfese men had defied the law and made themselvea murderers. The Cath olic Church looked upon suoh acts as the grossest crime, which demanded the most severe punishment. Hip pockets for lap dogs are the latest innovation in ladies’ dresses. With a dog in her pocket, a seal on her back, a bird in her hat and kids on her hands and feet, the well dressed lady to bnt little short of a walking menagerie. CONSTITUTIONAL CONTENTION. Editors Chronicle and Constutionalist : A paragraph in one of the dai ly papers informs the public that ex-Qovernor Brown and Dr. H. V. M. Miller are among those spoken of as delegates to the Constitutional Conven tion from the District of which Fulton county forms a part. The duty of set tling the fundamental law is a grave and responsible one, and it was gratifying to see such distinguished names men tioned in such connection. It is hoped that Georgia will “seek out’’ and send to that Convention men of ability, experi ence, patriotism and integrity. Fre quent changes of the fundamental law are of injurious tendency. One evil is, that it weakens the reverence of the peo ple for the government. It is to be hoped, therefore, that the Convention, which will probably assemble in July, will give us* a Constitution marked by snch excellences that there will be no need for another such body in our State for a long time to come. And, in order to this, we want the right sort of men. Could not Richmond county and the District of which it is a part give to the State for that purpose that noble old Roman, ex-Governor Jenkins. And then there are ex-Governor Johnson, Judge Speer, Gen. Lawton, Gen. Henry R. Jackson, Col. McKinley, and others that might be named. Let us not have a congrega tion of “cross-roads” politicians and wire-pullers, who cannot rise above self and section, to make a Constitution. It is bad enough to send such characters to the Legislature, but it is worse to send them to a Constitutional Conven tion. The harm done by one Legisla ture may be remedied by the next one, which soon succeeds it; but a blunder put in the Constitution may rest as an incubus on the State for generations. In fact, the small professional politi cians, as a whole, are objectionable. There is such a strong temptation to view questions in the light of influences on personal ends rather the public weal. Has not every District some good, honest citizen, of sound judgment and sound morals, who is not a “politician” in the technical sense ? Let us have such, who will have no “axe to grind” in the Convention. He need not be a lawyer. Why should he be ? He need not be a speaker. It would be a pity if every delegate should make a speech. It would be too expensive. If he be a man of sound judgment, sterling integ rity and patriotic impulses, he will make a good delegate. Georgian. HART COUNTY MATTERS. Superior Court Week in Hartwell. [ Correspondence Chronicle and Constitutionalist.] Hartwell, March 24.—The Superior Court of this county closed its Spring term to-day, after having been in ses sion since Monday last. The weather was fine, and quite a number of people have been in attendance. Judge Pottle is always a welcome visitor to the law abiding citizens of this community, and likewise a terror to evil-doers. His ad ministration is acceptable to our people, and we regard him as an upright magis trate and a Christian gentleman. The new Solicitor-General, Colonel Seaborn Reese, of Hancock, made a favorable impression. He is certainly industrious aud attentive to the duties of his office, and evidently goes in to convict the guilty. Among the attorneys from other caunties, we had the pleasure of seeing Colonel Robert Hester, Hon. E. P. Ed wards, Colonel John P. Shannon, Cap tain S. N. Carpenter and Major John H, Osborn, of Elbert; Mr, W. C. Crump, of Carnesville, and Colonel James D. Mathews and ex Solicitor General Lump kin, of Oglethorpe. We mifised the pleasant face of our friend, Colonel Nash, of Madison, who occasionally does us the honor of appearing in our midst. The statement that he once said he could jump a Sox within a hun dred yards of the Court House in Hart well is false, The looal bar wer9 all on hand, and two more lawyers were made during the term—Mr. Lee Linder, of this place, and Mr. H. A. David, former ly of Franklin county. Both the gen tlemen passed a very creditable exami nation, and were highly complimented by the Judge. Our farmers are now quite busy in p"eparing for the coming crop season. We are fortunately far enough from rail roads to avoid an immediate use of gnano. The Rev. Mr. Crymes, of Franklin, who is a candidate for Con ventional honors, addressed the public during the term. His principal theme was opposition to the school laws, and this is a popular doctrine here. Men who run for office generally find out which way the wind is blowing before they set sail. W. H. S. The Columbia Schuetzen Club are ar ranging for a Fest in May. An incendiary fire in Greenville last Thursday night destroyed an entire block of buildings. Wtatl tow M Veptm, South Boston, May 9, 1870. H. R.
