TECH! POST. AYEDNK^nVY, OCT 1C, 1873. R. L. HICKS, EDITOR AND PROPRIETOR. IF. P. Hir!:s is the regular agent for the POST in Joha nn county, authorized to re- ester suhstrigtioas, in , !j)t for the Mine, and to make contract* far admitting. AU duet should he paid to him. 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. Critic. 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.

This week wo learn tlioro aro ovor ono hundred reg ular collegians matriculated, there being no preparatory school connect ed with tho University.

DON’T GO AVFST, YOUNG MAN. The Lnnmv Boys—Return of Rollu from Colorado. 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 engaged in engineering, and emigra tion is flowing in that direction. Holla says no saw thousands of peo ple dissatisfied with the western country, and thousands more who would gladly soil out and come hack to their homes in tho South if they wore ablo to do so.

He has begun to follow the example of Grant, and accepts presents right and left 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.

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.
