NUBBIN RIDGE, Aug. 9th, 1879.


EDITOR RECORD: AS your columns
are open, wish to discuss with the
people the subject Of removing the
county seat. First: If the county
seat is not moved, it will take some
considerable money to repair the
iail and other necessaries belonging
to the court house. The tax will be
heavier than the people think. That
is money thrown away, and II the
people will study and look ahead
they will see. Second: If the court
house or county seat is moved to
Center it will be more convenient
throughout the county for every one
north, and will save money, as the
poor people have not got it, and the
tax is sufficient. And why not
move it, and save the double eX-
pense, as it Is bound to be moved
sooner or later. The donation is
something. Well enough. There
can be some thousands OF dollars
raised, or is ready, if moved to Cen
ter, and the tax will be lighter on
the poor men. Look to the inter
est Of the county. Third: Because
Evening Shade is town, and the
people residing there want the
county seat there, that must not
RUN our county. They are too far
from the center Of the county and
inconvenient for the northeast of
the county; therefore let each and
every one think before he speaks
and look before he leaps. The re.
moval now will save another after
awhile; so one dollar in time will
save nine. Respectfully,
HIGHLAND.

General Court was very slow to annul
convictions and the attainders, and in-
demnify the heirs of the numerous vic
tins. In one case sixty years elapsed
before justice was done the family OF
murdered clergyman.
The end of the murderous delusion
was brought about, not by the repent
ance or enlightenment of the prosecut-
ors, but because reign of terror had set
in. Victims were selected from the
highest social positions, and the public
became infused with the belief that no
one was safe from the malice OF their
enemies or the falsehoods of those who
sought simply for notoriety in carrying
out the supposedsommands of Scripture.
1t was only when the public rebelled
against the bloody work of the Courts
that the internal carnival of Supersti-
ton ceased, and it seems strange at this
day to hear or read excuses or apologies
for those who were foremost in the cruel
work.
