To tile Grand Jury of Lauren*
County.
Sonic time ago we published nur
reason* for thinking tliat the Dublin
Forryshould lie made free to all, mid
called on the Grand Jury to recom
mend that the Ordinary ho lot out
the Ferry next January. AVc ap
proached a largo number of the other
citizens of the county as well as some
of the Jurors on the subject, and
found them all heartily in favor of
the move. But as tlioro was wo ne
cessity for the recommendation until
tlio present Court, and as the last
Grand Jury was pressed with other
business, the matter was postponed
for action at, the hands of the pres
ent Jury. We hope now that the
measure will bo taken up without
delay and pul through. If it should
bo neglected this week, tho ferriage
will luvvo to bo restored in January,
or else tho burden of keeping it free
will again lie to shoulder by private
individuals. And it would bo unfair
to force a few individuals to pay for
that which is so clearly a benetlt to
tho whole people. But ns Wo feel
perfectly assured that it is only nec
essary to call the attention of the
Grand Jury to this important mat
ter, wo doom it needless to Bay
more. A word to tho wise is suffi
cient.
Lauhkns Hill, Oct. 10, 1878.
Ed. Pouf:
It would bo a good idea for all per
mits and guardians to keep a largo
placard suspended ovor tho dining
tablo or other conspicuous place,
whore their children could soo it dai
ly, with these words indelibly printed
thereon: Keep out of (ho law,
llow much vahmblo time is bat,
monoy wasted, and acetic feelings
engendered by wrangling in law!
A man who goes to-law has no solid
assurance whatever of redress. It
mutters not what the law may be. or
what may bo tho testimony of a wit
ness of unimpeachable veracity.
Let any logical mind witness the
daily proceedings of our courts, all
ovor our State and seo tho utter fu
tility of going tlioro for justice, or to
secure his rights either ns plaintiff
or defendant, and ho must come to
tho conclusion that it is tho greatest
waste-gate known, of the people's
time and money and tho most com
plete farce of tho day. AVlmt do law-
yore enro for tho justice of a cause or
tho real interest of plaintiff and de
fendant? AVIiat law under the innu
merable variations of ciromnstmices
cun always give justice to ail parties,
although administered by an honest
judge and an impartial jury? But
lawyers will evade tho law, and hold
up a regular-built perversion of the
statutes as a fair interpretation of tho
true spirit and intent of tho law when
they know there is no truth in their
pleading or representations. 11 is nti
exceedingly unsatisfactory business
to go to law cither as plaintiff or de
fendant. It is often a lawyer will
not gi vo you an honest opinion. You
can always llnd ono who will assure
you of tho just ice of your cause, and
that for so a: itch lie Oftn gain your
case, no matter what is the nature of
it. It is no wondor that the incur
note Saviour exclaimed with such
withering emphasis. “ liar unto you,
»/r lawyers?* Somo of them would
swindle Beelzebub out of his throno.
Old ones who have grown gray in the
practice of this unrighteous profes
sion, and s young ones raised under
pious examples with their names on
tho roll of the Y. M. C. Association,
will mislead you for the sake of a foe.
What do they care for your interest?
If it takes tho last shirt from your
back or the last milling from your
crib to piily his fees and other expen
ses, what does ho caw? Ho will
chuckle ou r your stupidity and exult
in his dexterity to get your money.
Keep out of the law,*tuy away from
court houses. Thousands of dollars
♦ an Ik M\od by compromises outside,
not only to yourself but to tho coun
try. See the vast sumsuf timioy lit
erally thrown away in court expenses
and thousands more lost in valuable
time t • our people. Count the loss
if you can. It is enormous. I dare
say it would twice pay the amount of
all the just claims on all the dockets
of tho State.
The people arc actually under
bondage who go to law. They must
obey tho mandates of court at any
time, no matter bow much loss of
time to their business. Adjourned
terms of court arc as binding as any
other, and are often held to suit the
convenience of somo favorite mem
ber of the bar. They have, by their
artful, mutual schemes, secured con
trol of the public laws of tho country,
and so mystified and confounded
them that no ordinary mind, and but
few of their profession really know
wlmt tho law is.
This tarn poring with and mystifying
the law has been done by a long, per
sistent and Kuocc3sful effort to control
our legislature. They have it all
their way, yet many of them are
groping in the dark. Lot them rnako
the beat of it, but let our people, so
far ns possible, keep out of litiga
tion, and settle their cases m.d save
time, trouble and money.
If tlioro is anything in our sin-
stricken world that will sonr a man’s
temper, and muko him unplousant,
destroy bis confidence in man and
discouut Ilia faith in God, it is going
to law.
Young man, as yon regard your
most important intorost, as you value
your happiness, your peace of mind
and foolings of philanthropy, oomc
to the deliberate conclusion to savo
your time, credit and monoy by keep
ing out of the law.

MERCER UNIVERSITY.
AV 0 wore in Macon on Tuesday of
last week tho day before tho opening
of tho Full session of the University,
and wore much gratified to learn
from Dr. A. J. Battle, its worthy
President, of its very flattering out

dents than usual for ono session,
were then present; the steward’s Hall
was oven then full. This week wo
learn tlioro aro ovor ono hundred reg
ular collegians matriculated, there
being no preparatory school connect

tuinly a most gratifying exhibit, and

The three Lamar boys, Rolln, Jeff
and Lavoisier—sons of Col. L. M.
Lamar, of Pplaski—huvo been trying
thoir fortunes in tho far wost for the
past year or two. Rolla returned
homo last. week. Ho experienced
somo tough trials on tho prairies of
Texas, tho plains of Kansas and tho
wilds of Colorado. When his funds
ran short in Texas, ho didn’t mind
taking a contract to dig a well or a
cistern, and tho way no shovelled
sand and mud would"make a young
Irishman ashamed of himself. Some
times he would hire himself to some
cattle drover to “punch cattlo” as it
is culled on the plains, lie tried the
life of a miner in tho mines of Col
orado, but his share of the precious
ores was not sufficient inducement to
keep him at that kind of Work, and
he t ried his hand at a litlo of every
thing else. Ho thinks his exper
ience is equal to that of Mark Twain’s
“Roughing It.”
Jeff is in St. Louis, Missouri, and
is doing well.
Lavoisier is in Dakota Territory

A Lesson From Ohio.
AVc do not care to analyze this
morning the results of the recent
elections. There will be time enough
for that when fall returns are before
ns. In the meanwhile wo aro loft to
contemplate the reversal of a demo
cratic majority of over twenty-two
thousand in Ohio in the course of a
single year, and tho defeat of tho
Ohio idea in the state that gave it
birth and that is to-day overwhel
mingly opposed to a single gold ba
sis, to a forced resumption and to
further contraction. The total vote
of Ohio is over 050,000, and there is
no reason to donbt that the green
back vote of Tuesday exceeded 75,
000. Add these figures to the dem
ocratic vote and we have a majority
against further contraction and in
favor of the substitution of green
backs for national bank notes, of
sixty thousand. And yet tho news
is bulletined all over the country to
day that Ohio has repudiated the
Ohio idea and adopted the hard-
money theory of John Sherman and
the eastern monoy lenders. The
Cincinnati Gazette declared almost
bofore the smoko of tho conflict had
boon cleared away, that it was a vie
tory over, what it calls, “a scheme
of false and slippery money”—that
is, over greenbacks, and in favor of
bauk notes and a gold basis.
AVhy is this? Ilow is it that the
enemies of currency reform arc able
to nullify in Ohio a popular verdict
of GO,000, more or less? AVhy lias
tho state boon turned ovor to tho
supporters of John Sherman and the
bondholders?
The reason is as plain as tho nose
on a man’s face. The friends of cur
rency reform wore divided, while tho
onomy romuinod oompact and har
monious. AVith folly almost incred
ible, men left or refused to join the
only party that could carry into
practico their ideas, and throw away
thoir voto3 on a now party that abso
lutely bad no clmnco of gaining a
control either of tho stato or federal
government. The very reforms
they desired have thus been stifled,
and thoir own consciences must toll
them that thoy aro primarily respon
sible for tho reverse they huvo en
countered. Tho monopolists and
money sharks from ono cud of the?
country to the other are this* morn
ing exulting over-thoir unexpected
escape, mid thoy will doubtless pro
ceed without delay to ro-ostublish
their shaken authority.
But tho triumph of tho gold bugs
is not all. Tho third-party folly in
Ohio has given tho party of corrup
tion and misrule a now lease of life.
IIopo and vigor have taken tho place
of despair and apathy. And the
grconlmckers did it; for ovory vote
cast for tho greenback tickot in Ohio
was a vote indirectly cast in favor of
tho party that opposes homo rule,
supports tho centralization of federal
powor and upholds the gigantic
fraud of 187G. If tho republicans
have scoured a majority of the Ohio
and Indiana delegations, through
tho diversion of votes to tho green
back tickets the election of a hard-
monoy president is possible in" 1880,
thus perhaps bringing hopeless de
feat home to tho debtor class and
untold injury upon the country. It
is just such a programme as this that
the greenback movomont makes pos
sible. It is just such a peril that it
loans up to. Every voto cast in Ohio
or in Georgia, or in any otlior state
against the democratic nominees,
operates to lengthon tho rulo of tho
most corrupt party that tho coun-
has oyer known, and torivot chains
that tho east have pnt on us. There
is no help for us politically or finan
cially, except through tho democrat
ic party, and tho results in Ohio
ought to fully opou the oyes of ovory
intelligent man to the dangers of the
situation.—Atlanta Constitution.

tSTThis. Special Offer is made to enable
the Southern people to see for themselves how
good a paper THE WORLD is and how
worthy it is of their support.
On the 1st of May, 1870, Hie ownership
and control of THE WORLD passed into
the hands of the undersigned, under whose
absolute and untrammelled direction THE
WORLD has ever since remained and now
’remains.
During the whole of. this time THE
WORLD has labored patiently and per*
sevcringly for the accomplishment of two
great objects in politics of paramount inter
est to the Southern people.
I. The restoration of Local Self-Govern
ment at tlio South.
II. A Real Reform of the Civil Service,
in such wise ns to destroy the political ma
chines under the operation of which it lias
come to pass that the people are taxed to
support political parties, whereas political
parties huvo no other reason of being except
to lessen the burdens of government.
The first of these objects has been tri
umphantly accomplished. All intelligent
Northern men now admit that all parts of
tho c ountry were as deeply interested as
tlie South in seeing it won. A corrupt
lin'd untf-Democnitic goViinlineiU' in live
South was a permanent peril to the ascen
dency of t rue American principles in the
Federal Government and therefore to the
peace and honor of the whole people.
Tint second political object for which
THE WORLD contends still remains to be
fully achieved. Tho actual Administration
began Us career with excellent promises in
this direction of which it is sullicicnt to say
t hat they have been as yet only in part re
deemed. T1IE WORLD for its part will
resolutely support any honest plfort to re
deem these fully, by whomsoever made,
and will as resolutely denounce every ob
stacle thrown in tho way of redeeming
them, from whnteier quarter.
It seems to the undersigned eminently
proper that lip should ask the co-operation
of the best meu of the South with THE
WORLD iu its efforts to carry out the pol
icy hero outlined. lie believes THE
WORLD to be a paper which Southern
citizens and Democrats can recommend to
Southern readers as an influence worthy
and important to be brought to bear with
constantly increasing power upon the con
duct of our national affairs, in the interest
of truth, of justice ami of harmony among
our people of all sections.
It is my desire to keep THE AVORLD
in a living relation with the best thought
of the South, to the end tlmt the best ideas,
wishes and feelings of the Southern peo
ple may he clearly and fairly made known
to tho North, the East and the AVcst. Alike
in privatu and in public affnirs the misun
derstanding of men by one another lies nt
the root of so much evil that the word
itself has come to be a’synonym with quar
reling and strife. It was a wise saying of
Lord Elgin, at the time of ono of our sharp
est disputes witli Great Britain, that two
intelligent gentleman alone on a raft in the
Atlantic witli plenary powers could adjust
the whole matter honorably in an hour.
THE WORLD simply asks its- friends
at tho South to aid it in bringing about a
complete meeting of . minds oil all public
questions between the Intelligent citizens
of all parts of the Unlou.
