prisOnment For Life.
Gov. Porter, after a careful exam
inatiOn of the record in the case of
Israel ThOmasson, charged with the
murder Of r. c. Jackson at Mount
Pleasant, in Maury county, rendered
a decision to-day, committing Thorn
ason's sentence to imprisonment in
the penitentiary at hard labor, dur
ing and for the term of his natural
life. Earnest appeals were made in
ThOmassOn's behalf, and a recon-
mendatiOn signed by the judges of
the Supreme Court and the AttOr-
ney General of the State, was writ
ten at Jackson, and forwarded to
Gov. Porter, and in consideration Of
this recommendation, he commuted
the sentence of death passed by the
Supreme Court. Instructions have
been forwarded to the Sheriff of
Maury county to convey ThOmassOn
to the penitentiary without delay,
and he will probably arrive here to-
morrow Banner, ApTH

To restore peace and prosperity to
the South is, so far as the North is
concerned, a mere sentiment. We
robbed that region in qualification
of what we supposed to be cheap
philanthropy found in freeing an
other mans slaves, and we haul off
our bayOnetS and carpet-baggers
from the same sort of abstract senti-
mental Indifference, as if we were
doing something for China or the
interior of Africa. This is not pre-
cisely what affiicts the leaders of the
Republican party. What they fear,
and that which keeps them awake
of nights and makes the corners
bloom with rhetoric, is that the
same disregard manifested for the
carpet-bagger indicates lack Of that
true appreciation of official patron
age on which the Republican or
ganiZatiOn exists.-The Capital.

''TO-day or tomorrow will witness

A Demoeratie Clrganizatlon.

We are gratified to see it stated,
and with an assuring appearance of
authenticity, that it has been GER
tainly ascertained there is no dispo-
sition anywhere among the Demo-
cratic and Conservative members
from the South to give the slightest
eOuntenance to any movement for a
non-partisan organization of the
Forty-fifth Congress. The Demo-
Gratis in the next House have it en-
tirely in their powerto organize with
men of their own party and their
own choice in all the offices. And
the people who sent them there will
expect them to exercise that power.
1t is incumbent on us all as a duty
to ourselves to stand by the 2 eS-
ident as long as he stands by the
South, and to defend him against
all corners us long as he is right,
with the Constitution and the coun-
try's interests guiding him. But it
is one thing to be just, another thing
to be so gushingly generous to make
the magnanimity of others the only
security for yourself. Old King
Lear, we remember, made slight
slip up with those loving and du-
tiful daughters of his.-Richm0nd

Mr.. THOMAS 7. JAMES, Commits
sioner of Agriculture of the State of
Georgia, has issued a circular to the
farmers Of that State, in which,
after giving his reasons for believing
that war in Europe was inevitable,
he says:
In view of these facts, the farmers
of Georgia are urged to increase
their areas in provision crops. 1t is
not yet too late to increase the area
in corn, even if it has to be done by
reducing the area in cotton. Let
farmers plant enough corn to insure
an ample supply for the ensuing
year. Let them plant crops for
their hogs, and force them forward
to secure, as nearly as possible, a
supply of bacon for home consump-
ton. Let them plant literally in
German millet and field-peas, to
supplement their corn in feeding
stock, in order that more of their
corn may be used for bread.

by the law term of the supreme court will appear
in to.mouow's Wing, In February last 3 large
number Of indictments for liquor selling, involv-
ing large amount of penalties, were returned by
the grand Jury Of Penobscot county Afterwards
it was discovered that venires for grand jury had
been inadvertently issued without having the seal
Of court and the defendants claimed this voded
the indictments.
The leg stature passed special act declaring
indictments valid, and motion was made to have
the seal of the court affixed. The defendants
fled plea in abatement, and the law court de-
eide that lack of seal invalidates the indictments.
That defect cannot be cured by subsequently af-
fixing the SEAL or by special act of legislature and
that the plea of abatement is sufficient if free
from dupliciy, and clearly states valid ground of
defence.
