The Baltimore Sun, In speaking of tho
rooant deaoratlon of Confederate soldiers
graves at Winchester, Va., any a that this
i beautiful custom originated In that city.
■ Columbus claims tho honor of being the
ttrat city to celebrate this custom, which
has become dear to all boutliemere, and
whose perpetuity Is certain.
Tho lirat decoration In Winchester was
in June, 1665, as tho Urn itself states. The
graves in Columbus wore decorated In
April of the same year.
Tho Columbus decoration was the result
of the patriotic loveof the lamented Urs.
Charles J. Williams. After this celebra
tion the ceremony becomocommon all over
the South. Of course, tho wide-spread cus
tom Is by no means the result of our cele
bration. The idea would have occurred to
others in the course of time.
Nevertheless, It la true that Columbus
was tho first city that observod this cere
mony. Her daughters woro tho first to
strew flowers upon the graves of those we
loved so much. The first decoration was
with tearful eyes and sad hearts, and the
custom will ever bo observed with a patri
otic fidelity that will never tire, and with
a love for the dead heroes and their cause
that will never grow cold.

Church Mails
A friend asked us yesterday why it was
that all tho churches In this city, sang
“Nearer, my God, to Thee" bo much, and
expressed It as his opinion that a little
variety would be agreeable, at least, to
him.
Wo suppose the choirs in the various
churches know best what they should
sing. The very tact that the song Is sung
so often and so*encrally* proves that the
people lovo It very much and that singing
it gives them pleasure.
As for us, wo would ffever tire of the
song alluded to, and we are sure It will
continuo to hold Its place as one of the
sweetest anthems devoted to church ser
vice. True It Is old, but this fact only at
tests lte merit. Wo know of no hymn in
the largo collections used by our churches,
that exprossos a more beautiful sentiment,
none that sounds grander when sung by a
vast congregation. One of the chief boun
ties of the song Is its simplicity, and this
accounts for Its great popularity with our
congregations. It is eminently fitted for
general singing, which after all Is the
highest style of church music.
The singing of a trained and practised
choir may lie exquisite. Its artistic excel
lence may be the admiration of all who
listen, and Its performance of difficult op
eratic music may be simply perfect; but
it does not move the feelings, or touch the
heart like tho singing of “Nearer, my God,
to Thee,” by a vast congregation, where
each sings with the heart as well as the
voice, and where a deep toned organ ac
companies the song of praise.
The first may bo beautiful—exquisite,
the latter Is sublime.

Mayor Mellhenny had a goodly number
of spectators, and but few culprits.
The llrst case called was one against
Jno. McTubbins. John works hard and
makes a good deal of money, but he con
tributes more of it to tho support of the
city than any ordinary real estate owner
in the city. He will get in a row, and he
will fight, notwithstanding the repeated
w'arningfl of the Mayor. This time they
made out only a small case of disorderly
conduct, and for It he was lined $5. He
paid it, and left the halls of justice not in
the very best humor.
Wm. Harrell was up for disorderly con
duct, but they could not llnd enough proof
to show his guilt nnd he was allowed to
go free.
\Vrn. Emory was next called, aud had
the good luck to fare as well ns did Bill
Harrell.
Moses Bates is a regular lighting negro,
but this time he got whipped, and had to
pay $lO and costs, or go to the guard
house. He did not prefer the guardhouse,
but he liked $9 50 of having the requisite
amount of cash.
Ziioh Morgan was also belligerent, and
to such an extent that his Honor turned
him over to the tender mercy of the Grand
Jury. They took compassion on him and
found a true bill against him for assault
with intent to murder.

Grand Jury Presentmentx
For >1 uscrigcc County*
MAY Il.nu, 1875.
We, tho Grand Jurors chosen and sworn
for tho May term of tho Superior Court,
1875, make those, our General Present
ments:
We llnd the Court House, which has re
cently been repaired, in excellent condi
tion.
The Jail is In a perfectly safe audclaanly
condition, and we thank tho Jailor, Mr.
Johnson, for the good order maintained
by him. For the last six months it has
averaged thirty-five Inmatee.
We recommend to the County Commis
sioners that a suitable building be erected
on the premises for the safe keeping of
the chain gang.
We also recommend an additional sup
ply of water, repairing, lightning rod,
covering and properly ventilating tho
sink in rear of the lot.
On examination we find the books of the
Clerk of (Superior and County Courts neat
ly kept and their papers orderly and
well arranged. The dockets of the Jus
tices of Peace are found to be correctly
kept. We think the Ordinary entitled to
great credit for the manner In which he
conducts the iiflairs of his office.
The County Treasurer has re
ceived $36,575 00
Disbursements.. . 20,841 31
Balance on hand $6,733 69
Wo recommend a levy of twenty-four
thousand dollar* tax, which, with tho bal
ance on hand, we think sufficient to defray
the <>f the county for the current
year. ,
Tho School Commissioner* have
received In 1871 ♦3,257 03
And paid to City of Co
lumbus $1,625 56
To tho County 1,631 48 *3,257 03
Tho roraoval of Dr. G. B. Heard from the
county and the resignation of N. L. How
ard made vacancies in tho Board, which
wc have filled by ©looting E. I*. Willis and
J. K. Dimond School Commissioners.
The asylum for the poor has re
ceived from the county siuco No
vember last *3,000 00
And have disbursed 1,684 19
Leaving a bulunce on hand .$1,315 81
We recommend that the County Com
missioners employ some suitable person,
at such compensation as they may decide
upon, to verify the indexing of the Books
of Deeds of this county, and to make a
complete General Index of the said books.
We recommend an appropriation to the
Asylum for the Poor of *3,000 for the cur
rent year.
We have selected Peter Freer, William
G. Woolfolk and Louis F. Garrard, County
Commissioners, for one, twd and three
years, in tho order named, and are confi
dent they will continue to exercise that
goo<l judgment and '/.cal for the interests
of the county whi*h has heretofore char
acterized them.
Tho Tax Collector has collected for the
past year $10.8*20 04
Paid to the County $36,570
Paid Asylum for Poor 3,000
Paid his (Join missions 1,245 04 10.8*20 04
Amount of tax not yet collected and
insolvent $6Bl 13
He has also collected for the School Fund
and paid to Commissioners $1,309 78
Which may be increased to $1,400 ou
We report the road betw<*n Garrard’s
place and Tillingiiust’s, and the bridges at
the Brickyard and Massey’s place, in bad
order; also the Standing Boy nnd bridge;
above Jefferson Biggers’ the last two arc
dangerous to cross. The bridge at Gam
med’* place is also in bad .condition. Wc
have not received reports from some of
the Road Commissioners.
There Is one subject upon which we de-
sire to make emphatic utterance.
We believe we speak the almost univer
sal sentiment of the community in repro
bating the practice of arming the police
and other officials with concenlfHi weap
ons.
Wo believe it has resulted in unmixed
evil, and has causod bloodshed which
might havo been avoided, and for the bur
den of w hich the law now cries out. It is
notorious, that tn cases of conflict between
the officials and offenders, arms havo been
hastily appealed to; and instead of seeing
a community’s sympathies and acts en
listed on the side of law and order, wc have
had the spectacle of separate groups of
citizens watching at a safodistunce the re
sult of a drawn fight between armed men
In our streets, and several bloody deaths
resulting.
If those arms should be carried at all; of
wliich wc have grave doubts, we submit it
should bo in belts outside of their coats,
and fully exposed to view.
Wo recommend that the County Com
missioners pay to the heirs of R. H. G reone,
deceased, tho sum of one hundred dollars
in full payment of their claim.
Our thanks are tendered to the Solicitor
and county officers for courtesies extend
ed In assisting: us in the discharge of our
duties; nl*o to onr Foreman and Secre
tary.
In taking: leave of their Honors, Judges
Jolmson and Bartlett, we express our high
Appreciation of their abilities and impar
tial discharge of their duty.
We request that these presentments be

.HIM-I II A RTI-ETT. Pre.ldln*.
James Kilgore Sentenced to be Hang on
the Thirtieth of July.
Alexander Pryor Sentenced to Ten Ye:rs
in the Penitentiary.
KIIMAKKN or •irJIME BA RTI-ETT
Upon the opening of the court yesterday
morning, a rase was pending, and as soon
as that was disposed of, the Judge *ell
tencatl James Kilgore and Alexander Pry
or.
It had been previously announced that
on yesterday morning the prisoners would
lx; sentenced, and long before the opening
of court an immense crowd filled the court
room. There was scarcely standing room,
and the heat was intense; yet the vast
crowd stood in breathless suspense until
the doom of the prisoners was sealed by
the solemn sentences of the court.
The first sentence was pronounced upon
Alexander Pryor, who wus convicted of
killing a negro two years ago.
The Judge said in substance:
Mr. Pryor You are indicted for the
offemt* of murder of a colored man in this
county. After a fair and Impartial trial,
they have found you guilty of voluntary
manslaughter. It is my duty to pro
nounce tho sentence, and it is a painful
duty. If you have anything to say before
sentence, you titan now be hoard.
Col. Thornton rose and stabd for him
that he was a poor man had In-en at work
on the chain gang for two years. He read
the certificate of I)r. Pitts, County Physi
cian, that Pryor was very feeble, arising
from a blow on the top of the head, frac
turing his skull. Ho hoped, on account of
these facts, that the Court would indulgo ;
his leniency. Col. Thornton spoke on the ]
relative position of the two races.
Judge Bartlett said h<* had given the j
case mature reflection. It is my duty, he \
said, to rigidly enforce the law. but I will |
do it witli due regard to mercy. I appre- j
hend the jury had no doubt that you in
flicted the wound that resulted in the ne-1
gro w death. They only discussed the de
gree of the verdict they should return.
Had they in their discretion returned a
verdict of murder, I don’t know that I
would have disturbed it. The Court, how
ever, approves of the verdict as rendered.
The punishment you will suffer Is just to
you. You have my sympathy, but I must
administer the law so as to 'suppress
crime.
ORDER OF COURT.
Whereupon, it is ordered and adjudged
by the Court that you, the said Alexander
Pryor, tie taken from the Bar of this Court
to the common jail of Muscogee county,
and there be sufely confined until called
for by a guard from the Georgia Peniten
tiary ; and that by said guard you be con
veyed to said Georgia Penitentiary, or j
such other place as the Governor of said i
State may direct, and bo therein and then i
confined at hard labor for the period of i
ten (10) years, to bo computed from the
day of vour reception at said Georgia i
Penitentiary, This June 12th, 175.
The prisoner deemed rather pleased at ’
his sentence. He had been led to appro- \
hend a muck greater punishment, and w as
surpris'd that it was no greater. Ten
years is enough, however, to satisfy an
ordinary man.
The Judge then ordered James Kilgoro
to stand uf*. Everybody was as still as
could be, each one seeming to reulize the
awful solemnity of the occasion. Judge
Bartlett then proceeded to sjwiak to him
in substance as follows:
The Judge said: fir. Kilgore, you have
been indicted for tho murder of one of
your fellow-citizens. The jury have re
turned a verdict of guilty, with a recom
mendation to mercy. That reconi mend*-
tlon I can’t regard. You must carry that
to the Governor. It becomes the painful
duty of the Court to sentence you to expi
ate the crime you have committed. If
you have anything to say why sentt*nc©
should not be passed upon you, you can
now 1)0 hoard.
Rouse Crawford, Esq., his counsel, said
he had nothing to say at this time, but
that he was not guilty.
Judge Bartlett said: That, is a ques
tion of fact, ami tin; jury have determined
it was murder, and if stabbing an un
armed man to death is a crime, then you
are guilty. The grog shops arc the Upas
trees of our country, and sow the seeds of
living death throughout the land. I would
not make a remark tliat would a<W a
(tang to your distress, rind my sympathies
go out to you, your wife and children. I
cannot shirk my duty, and I therefore
make the following sen’em*:
SKNTTNCE (tT KTLCSORE.
Whereupon, it is ordered and adjudged
by the Court that you, the said James Kil
gore, be taken from the Bar of this Court
to the common jail of Muscogee county,
and be therein safely confined until the
30th day of July next; and that you be
taken from thence on that day by the
Sheriff of Muscogee county, between the
hours of 12 M. and 3 l*. m., to a private en
closure to be erected near there by the
Sheriff of said county, and in the presence
of such relatives as you may select, and
attended by a minister of the Gospel of
your own choice, and by the Sheriff of this
county, with such a guard as he may
think neoesaary, you be then and then'
hung by the neck' until you are dead—
—dead—dead. And may the Lord God
have mercy upon your soul 1
The prisoner displayed no feeling in the
matter, but kept his eyes on tho floor.
He was attended by his wife, his grown
daughter, and two or throe small children.
During the reading of the death sentence,
the wife and daughter wept bitterly. It
was an effecting scene, and everybody in
the court room was touched by the sight.
While it is a sad thing to be doomed to
death by n human tribunal, yet it is right
and proper that tiie laws of the land
should bo vindicated, and the protection
o all is guaranteed when the pistol and j
dirk of the assassin and murderer is held
by the strong arm of the law. The pris-1
oners were taken back to jail, and tin 4
court proceeded with other business of
the court.

bilious secretions, and no Chill or Fever
has yet refused to fall into line. Whoe

Gentlemen—You will pleas© ship us an
other supply' of your invaluable Female
ltegulator, and forward bill by mail. We
are happy to state that this remedy gives
better satisfaction than any article we
sell. We have been selling it since 1868,
and witnessed many remarkable cures by
it. Among others, there was a lady
friend of ours who was sallow and sickly
until she was twentv-six years old, when
she was married. Her husband lived two
years and died. She continued in bad
health; in fact, she lias never been what
a woman ought to be. A few months
after the death of her husband she saw*
your advertisement, and came to our
store and bought a bottle of your Regula
tor from us, aud took it according to di
rections. It has cured her sound and
well, brought her regular monthly peri
ods on, and to-day she is a hearty, bloom
ing w'idow—with the use of but two bot
tles of vour Regulator, costing her only
three dollars, w hen she had tried several
physician* and spent a great deal of
money w ithout any benefit. Wishing vou
great suctsesH with your valuable reme

tyr to the most malignant and persistent neural
gic torture, without being able to find any relief
except from your preparation, ah. was relieved
by the second dust as per directions, and has not
had a return of it for two months. To some 1
may seem strangely sanguine about your medi

sonable to euppuse this malignant tut lady would
have died or sheer exhaustion of Capacity for
sustaining itself, and that too in a minute, and
the very minute your medicine was taken. If go,
it is a most r< markable, simple coincidence, and

Mr.Jordan:—! Wire |rei* pleasure in recom
mending yotur Joyotm Julep fpr neuralgia,
has produced a most w oudarftti relief in one oj
the severest attacks of neuralgia my daughter
ever has had. She has been treated for it by
three skillful physicians, with very little benefit,
and used all the usual vemodies with little suc
cess. I can with much confidence hope for a per
manent cure. It is only two days since we b< gau
the tise of It, and it is apparently of permanent
benefit. Yours, with respect,
