From Georgia Legislative report Mr..
Reese moved 10 reconsider the bill passed
yesterday excusing persons over sixty
years Of age from jury duty, on the Rrounl
that many citizens Rl that age are better
fitted Tor duty than ever before. Their in
tellccts are clearer, their judgments mora
calmly balanced, and their experience Of
men and things more extended. The me-
tion prevailed"

New Orleans Picayune says "The idea

New Oeleans Times: ''According to
present appearances, our Louisiana case
is to terminate in q new election. This,
we take it. will afford anything but gem
oral satisfaction Our State and peopi1
are in no condition TO be saddlel with the
burdens sf y new appeal to the ballot box.
Moreover, their experince in the Novem-
Der election is not of such n character AZ
o give them any confidence in the uli-
nate result, however emphatic the express
ion of the popular will may be in favor
of reform. The tax payers of the State
know that they elected a majority in the
sjtate Legislature, as well as of State and
parish officers, at the last election, and
also know that, through the irresponsible
agencies of fraud and force, their verdict
was reversed. To say after such results
that they shall have another opportunity
OF going through the same sterile farce is
little less than mockery."
New Orleans Republican: awe have
perused two letters which will greatly in
terest A. C. Carlton, in his uuoccupiei
moments, in the parish prison. One is
from an aunt of a young gil in Tcnnes-
sec whom Carlton seduced, and who has
boy without father. The other letter
is from the unfortunate who listened to
the temptings of the seducer. They had
learned that Carlton was under arrest
for horse stealing and for embezzlement
in his city. The contents of those letters
arc Just what q woman scorned would ma
turally write When the accused hears
them read, the words will surely burn his
conscience, If he has any conscience. Thu
bitterness OF wormwood is pure saccha-
rine in comparison. 1t does net appear
that they are aware that he has wife in
New Orleans, although both aunt and vic.

movements for many months
The Savannah News has just seen three
men from Florida. The News says: "ln
conversation with Mr. Luke we iearn that
during the past two months hundreds Of
families have been compelled TO leave the
State on account ofthe high taxes and the ,
worthlessness of the negroes. These
gentlemen are all planters, but finding IL
difficult to make both ends meet, have
sacrificed their property and are seeking
another State, where they hope to find bet
ter government and more profitable retrrnS
for their labor Mr.. Luke iufor9-l us
that the poll tax he was compelled 10 pny
in Sumpter was 81, and on one Jcc'gion
this was increased to So. This is only o
sample of the exorbitant taxes which, Un-
der negro Radical rule, are hsapeG upon
the people.
Montgomery Advertiser: awe have
favor TO ask Of our various interior ex-
chances-n not so much for ourselvos es for
the State of Alabama. We ask thu! ea3n
paper, in which land sales for taH are
advertised, will publish tho sum tV,ai ot
acres so advertised. We desire 10 make
use of the statistics thus furnished us IN
show ing the heartless iniquity of doubling
the State taxes in the face of these facts.
We desire TO impress upon the No;thern
mind the full extent--the depth, trcad'l
and height-of the meaning of continued
Radical supremacy to those States of the
American Union which, through their crops
of cotton, furnish the Western commerciai
world the only true basis fits great pros
perity-the only foundation on which rests
the present approximation of the green
back to the gold standard of valuation.
In view of the vast Importance of these
statistics, therefore, we hope that none OF
our friends Of the press will refuse to
furnish their share Of time. We shall
take care that they are placed where they
will do the most good.
