OF all the marvellous customs that |
know in connection with japanese re-

SO strange as that Of splitting at the
images of the Gods. more especially at
the statues Of the Mo, the two huge
red, or rel and green statues, which,
like Cog and Magog, cmblemS Of
strength, stand as guardians of the
chief Buddhist temples. The figures
are protected by network Of iron
wire, through which the votarics,
praying the while, spit pieces otpaper,
which they have chewed mp into a
pulp. lfthe pellet sticks to the stat

1t Isl good thing to have an abnn-
dance of fruits during the hot season.
but those who eat much Of it should bp
careful TO have the irtlit fresh and
sound. Peaches. which are sold in
great numbers at the street stands, anil
in the markets. are very wholesome
when fully ripe and perfectly sound.
but it is not nm easy thing to secure
both these conditions. and niiripe or
rotten peaches are Of NIL things the
most dangerous to health. And yet
there are bushels of this sort of fruit
sold every day, especially from carts
in the streets. 1t is said even that
the tlecayetl remnants Of the stock
which no one will eat in an undisguis-
ed state, are disposed of to bakers, who
dish them up in delu>iye little tarts
and pies.

W. S. Hancock, and at present coil-

Miss Lizzie, daughter of Nicholas
Gwynn, we'll known Main street
merchant. Mr.. Gwynn objected to the
attentions of Mr.. Hancock. and prep
arations were made to send the young
lady abroad for two years. Two
years Is an eternity to young lovers,
and they determined their Happiness

30th Of April last the young couple
very quietly went to Jeiiersonville and
were married by Rev. DIR. Hutchinson.
After the ceremony the young lady
returned to her fathers house, and re-
mained there until yesterday after-
noon. The avowed intention OF the
young people was to keep the mar
riage a secret until the old folks be-
came reconciled to the union, when
the marriage would be made pubic
and the Young man would claim his
bride. Bit marriage as well as muir
der, will out. One of the parties in
the secret impaired it in confidence to
friend. and that friend did likewise.
Yesterday afternoon Mr.. Hancock.

would in all probability reachthe ears
of his father-in-law. wrote that gentle

Of the case. Before dispatclling the
note, however. he sent for his wife.
and the young couple were registered

prosecution, the object of which we can
only conjecture. We know that no good
caa come of it. Strife only is engendered,
and i'll feeling bred-with what results may
not be difficult to foresee.
If no other consideration had prompted
us to the course we are now about taking,
the fact that in this day of profound peace,
after the close Of the war for seven long
years, there should this morning be an
array of Federal bayonets within the sound
of my vO!ce-in this very court room-un-
der which this examination is to proceed.
Sir, my selfrespect forbids further action
on my part, and therefore we proceed no
further. We avail ourselves Of the right
guaranteed by tic Constitution Of The
United Stotes, as we'll as by the COnstitu-
ton Of doWn-trodden Georgia, and offer
ball. We, therefore, for the reasons given,
waiyc further hearing as to any Of these
defendants, and will submit 70 your dis
cretion, giving whatever bond you may re-
duirc. This, sir, is your discretion /; FIX
the amounts at what you think proper
Whether $4,000, as you did ON Yesterday
in the case Of the policemen, who in the
discharge of their duty arrested porjured
negro, or 5000, or s., 900, or any amount.
The bond shall be given. state frankly
our reasons for the course we pursue. You
fix the amount Of bail and we will respond.
The Atlanta. Constitution comments
upon the outrage and its effects as follows:
Tho high-banded outrages Of the Radi-
cal managers here, Colonel FL. I. Farrow
and Commissioner COuley. in making cleo
ton capital for the North and West by the
use Of the machinery Ct the Federal Court
about the late election, is having happy
effect On our people.
Whoforor divisions t6cT.l ms Y have hn;e0
they are rapidly healing. The policy repre-
sented by Grant and his fuglemen here is
being made odiOus to a degree that is open
ing the eyes of all good men. Our Straight
friends, we arc glad to say, are rapidly
aligning themselves with their companions,
and declaring for Greeley.
When they see the Grant Cause pushed
by means SO indcfensible; when they see
our people outraged; when they sec the
desperate unscrupulOuS attempt To excite
war Of races; when they sec tic great
en9inery Of the United States Court put in
notion 10 drive q political party; when
they see men ordered 10 jail without hear
ing for doing their duty when they see
the military called into Court under pre-
text to oycraEe accused prisoners, they
feel practically the burden Of misgOycrn-
ment against which all men opposed to
Grant are c0n1ending.
Whatever may have been Creelcy's past
position, lie is now against those high
handed expressions, and his election means
their removal forever
Some thing Of this kind was, perhaps,
necessary to show the true status of affairs.
But no man now can hesitate.
We are glad to SEE that the true men arc
coming into line. They feel that even to
be neutral is to help the tyrannies that arc
being perpetrated on us under the guise Of
law

Tho Outrage ON Mr. Turner.

1t will be remembered by our readers
that when an attempt was made to assas-
sinate Mr.. Turner in 1860, the Superior
Court was in SESSION.. Those who arc
familiar with the ground will also remem-
Der that the Court House is not fifty yards
distant from thu Sentinel office. It will
also be remembered that Judge Watts,
then as now, the presiding officer of that
Court, did not see fit to make any comment
upon tho attempted murder, from the
bench. II happens, as We stated on yester-
day, that it was Court week, aud that
Judge Watts was again the presiding Off
Ger, Oh Thursday night last, when the
Sentinel office was blown up. 1t happens
also that the charge to the Grand Jury,
from which the following paragraphs are
extracted, was delivered by Judge Watts
on Monday last, and published in the
Raleigh Era on Thursday last. On Thurs
dsy night the Office was blown up. Our
readers will also bear i'll mind that the
charge of Judge Watts was understood to
have reference to the Sentinel, and that
structures upon the conduct of Judge Watts
at Johnston county Superior Court. We
do not assert that the charge of His Honor,
Judge Watts, instigatcd tho outrage upon
Mr.. Turner. We simply state the facts Of
the case as we unders end them.
The Era, the central organ ofthe Radical
party, at Raleigh, says:
In his charge to the Wake Grand Jury,
on Monday, Judge Watts delivered the fol-
lowing Oh the freedom Of he press, which
is truly cOmmendable.
The purpose of government is TO foster
and care for its citizens. 1t will not allow
them to be upjustly assailed or injured,
either in their persons, characters, Teputa-
tions or property. A truthful and just
criticism by the public press is allowable
by our law upon the action of individuals
and public officers, but they have no right
under the popular idea Of the freedom of
the press, to libel, or utter libel, against
any citizen, whatever be his position. busi-
ness or profession. False statements in
regard to individuals, or public officers, not
only subject the offender to criminal prose-
cution, but it has most deleteriOus effect
upon the public mind and public morals,
for if men in high position eau be ruthlessly
Ind1iSneu ny lnS PuoiIc press anu tneTe IS
no redress or protection afforded the minds
Of innocent, unin itiated, plain, simple,
honest people, who nre not adopts in the
arts, devices and treachery of the times
are likely to be, and frequently are de-
ceiyed. 1t is not unfrequent that the pub
Usher of newspaper hilnself is the gl-at-
est sufferer, for when his readers learn that
his statements are untrue, as they surely
will if he publishes falsehoods, then con-
fdence is destroyed, the press is prosti-
tuted, individual character is ruined, and
his paper becomes a reproach to any
people"

The Atlanta Outrage.

On Tuesday last there was a further
sioner CoDley of the case, an account OF
which was published in the JOURNAL yes
terday, against Wells for violation of the
enforcement Act Of Congress. The fol-
place on that day we tako from tho Angus
ia Con8titutiop0li8t
On Tuesday morning a body Of armed
United States soldiers, for whom a requisi-
ton had been made by L. S. Marshal
Smythe, upon tho order of Conley, at the
suggestion Of farrow, who seemed to be
terribly alarmed-though for what cause no
one could diScover-narchCd into tho court
room, where the commanding Cfficor took
his seat in a prominent place, in order to
survey the situation and protect the dis
tinguished Attorney Goneral-Mr. Potash
FarrOw-from the attacks of the terrible
ku klux. That all this display Of military
power was utterly uncalled for, and mere
exhibition OF tho usual tyrannical policy Of
Grants Administration, was as we'll known
to COnley and Farrow as to the respectable
citizens Of Atlanta. Not tho slightest de-
monstration of any kind had taken place
during the trial on the day before, and
there vas not the slightest reason to expect
any disturbance on Tuesday. But these
petty officials, clothed with - a little brief
authority" must needs vent their spleen
upon the people of Atlanta for the Radical
defeat on the 2d instant, hence the display
Of military and the persecution Of citizens
against whom no offense was proven by all
the witnesses brought forward by FarroW.
When the court was called to order, the
counsel for the defense asked that they be
allowed short time to consult. After a
few minutes, Col. s. 3. Spencer arose and
said
May it please the Court At this stage
of this most extraordinary prosecution,
after consultation with my associate coun-
sci, we have determined to withdraw any
further defense as being utterly needless.
Our respect for this court, which no man
can gainsay-it being constituted by the
authorities that be-and in virtue Of this
fact, that we are law-abiding citizens, we
recognize its authority and obey its be-
hests. We most sOlemnly protest against
these prosecutions as being without a
shadow of guilt, and we would not be con-
strued as admitting any act on the part of
these defendants on the day of the election
as a violation either Of the spirit or the
letter Of that most obnoxious law, known
as the Enforcement Act. / assert it boldly,
without fear of successful contradiction,
having carefully examined the law and ap-
piled the facts, as lawyers, there were but
two parties who are guilty of violating the
sud law, and these parties are not these
defendants, but are the Prosecuting Attor-
ney in this case, Mr.. Henry p. FarrOw, and
James L. Dunning, q witness who testified
for the prosecutio2.
The testimony for the prosecution has
entirely exonerated Mr.. Samuel P. Wells,
who Is now on trial, and here | would call
the attention of the cour. to this remark
able fact among those charged with the
off nss of having inundated one George
McKnnie and others, that the said George
McKinnie publicly announces the charge as
untrue. Yet such Is the character Of this

sorrow that gentlemen, that honest men,
that true men, that men as innocent of
crime as babes unborn, may be inmates Of
a penitentlary under sentence from a
Federal Court.
The conduct Of such scoundrel as Bus
teed, In Alabama, ought to have taught the
Tribune what Bond was capable Of doing
in North Carolina.
II the Tribune was Radical sheet We
should have remained silent. We cannot
do so, however, knowing that 1t cir>ulates
among friends.
1t Is hard enough for a man like Captain
SHoTwELL to be sent to the penitentiary
by a Scoundrel like United States Judge
Bond, but we doub' whether it viii cause
that unfortunate gentleman as bitter a
pang as the thought that respectable
Southern newspaper could thus assail him.
We arc at loss to say whether our sur
prise or our regret is the greater, on find
ing such an uncalled for and such an un-
warranted attack upon so unfortunate
gentleman in the Mobile Tribune.
