Retiremint.
Below will be found the cone*
pondonco between Judge Simmon*
and the Macon liar:
Judge T. J. Simmon* Dear Sir:
Judging from the capacity, and faith
fulncH* with which you have discharg
ed the most important public trust in
the past, your elevation to the highest
office in the gift of the common wealth
would redown equally to the credit of
the State and the Ismor of your
friends But from the universally
admitted honesty of purpose, fairnesH,
impartiality and ability with which,
for the past seven years, you have
discharged the onerous and responsi
ble duties of Judge, the people and
Imr of the Macon circuit will regard
a* a public calamity any course tlmt
constrains your retirement from the
bench Besides, to lay off the judicial
ermine to seek political preferment .it
this lime will embarrass a host of
your ]>ersoiial friends, espcciallv < f
the Macon bar. to whom you have
endeared yourself, not less by your
kindly courtesy than by the unsur
passed fairness and ability which ha*
characterized the discharge of your
duties. For these reason, wo. the
undersigned member* of the Macon
bar. earnestly request you to sacrifice,
for the time, your worthy and lauda
ble ambition to seek the office of
Governor, ai.d to retain your present
important position.
This w»a signe 1 by fifty-nine
names, comprising the Macon bar. to
which Judge Simmons replied:
Messrs Nisbett. Bartlett
and others. Gentlemen—Your letter
of the 7th instant, requesting me not
to seek the nomination tor Governor
at the approaching convention, ha*
just been handed we For reasons
entirely to myself, and in which the
public are not interested, 1 had
already determined upon that course
I beg tv assure you. and the members
of the bar through you. that I am
deeply grateful for the oomplimentary
manner in which you refer to my
eervioes as judge of this circuit, and
with assurance of the kindly relations
that have always existed between us,
I hope 1 may continue to merit vour
confidence and esteem To my inanv
friends iu different parts of the State
who have pledged me their support, in
ike event ftf my er. ud lacy, I return
rny sincere thanks. Very respectfully,
T. J. Simmon* ”
Hi* physician, since his illness, h s*
urged that Judge Simmons should
not make the race for the sake of his
health This is one of hi* strongest
reasons for retiring.

Valentine will hang! He was con
victed on the 6th, and has not yet
been sentenced He laughed and
chatted after the jury brought in
their verdict. The whole thing cams
out n* t<> how he had struck Mr
Vale* on the head with an ax and
then deliberately poured kerosine oil
over his clothes and set them on fire.
The law will be vindicated by the
hadgingof Valentine for the most, di
abolical murder ever committed with
in the border* of this county. The
Court House was packed during the
trial and hundreds could not gain ud
mtssion.
KSIGHTS OF LAItOR.
The Knights keep sawing away.—
They have started up their little rack
et again. Their Master Workman
came out in n card in the Chronicle,
saying they would strike if the mill
I'residents did not accede to their
demands. The Knights realize that
I they have made a failure in their lit
' tic game of scare, and are trying to
wriggle out without giving themselves
away. The idea of a minister of the
gospel threatening to lead men on to
a strike, etc., is so foolish that sensible
pel ous will not deign to recognize
such a party. There will be no
strike.
KAII.HOAIIH.
The A. and C. Railroad is still on a
boom. Its prospects are very flutter
ing and the committees are meeting
with success everywhere they go. I
sec your county came forward with a
good sum. The people cannot make

railroad.
