Death, go frequent a shadow Ger the

robbed society of no purer jewel than
the one that crowned the spoiler when
this gentle life went out. Born among
u.s. loved OF all and worthy Of a whole
worlds love, the bud that blossomed in
Our midst was exhaled while yet its fra
GRANGE was sweet incense to each gener
GUS heart, and its spiritual beauty was
the solacs and incen i've to life's rough
battles of the youthful husband who
had only learned in the possession of the
pure woman of his choice to be more the
lover at the shrine of loveliness, than
the lord paramount in his household.
Death when tho clouds gather dirk
above us; death when the years bear
heavily upon the pilgrims shoulders;
death when we walk in the shadow of
remols3; death when we tread lifs's path
way lonely and unfriended,is welcome

crosses the portal sanctifed by holy love
and lays eacriligiots hand on youth and

IN mystery we dare not murmur or COM

Sympathy cannot dry clears of those

FAILURE.

At about two O'Clock on Thursday
our city experienced about the widest
panic that has ever occurred here, upon
the announcement that the banking
house of Spratt L French had made an
assignment. The news travelled
throughout the city and beyond the
suburbs as quickly as though by cleo
trioity, and every one was almost dumb
founded, for it was perhaps the oldest
business establishment in Aberdeen,
and was believed to be one OF the most
solvent Institutions in the land. We
could obtain no particulars in regard
to the matter, and know nothing as to
the assets ans liabilities of the house,
nor whether it's closing will amount to
anything more serip us than a tompor-
airy suspension, but there is no doubt
of the fact that if it is total failure a
large number of our people who trans

heavy sufferers The firm existed here
and was widely and favorably known
before the war and afterwards until about
1872, as Adams, Spratt & Co., and no
business firm possessed the confidence
Of the public to greater degree; upon
the death of Mr. Adams, the firm name
was changed to that of Spratt & French,
unaer which the banking and brokerage
business was conducted until the assign
ment was made on Thursday. Mr.. B.
II. Gillespie, Cashier of the bank, and
connected with it only in that capacity
as far as our knowledge extends, is the
Assignee.
This failure may be one of the coa-
sequences of the recent suspension OF
Commission houses in Mobile.

New Public II cad System.

To TIE EXAMINER:
In last weeks article was shown
the Generalization of overseers of
reads, grand juries and District At
torneys and the general public, in
the utter ignoring of the law on the
subject. By general consent the
roads are merely worked at. The
whole thing is sham and pretence.
The hands go with the intention of
net working the road, nor can the
overseer make them do it. Such
thing as doing good days work is
almost unknown to a public road.
Such thing as we'll worked pubs
lie road is utterly unknown and un>
heard of in the history Of. the State.
And SO it must ever be under this
effete and played out system. 1t is
founded in injustice and inequality
and ought to be ignored and utterly
expunged from the face of the law.
But what will you substitute in its
place? What plan have you for the
better! 1t would not be hard to
find better plan.
I would introduce the plan of
'.paying for ,chat you get, and get
ting 'chat you pay for' | would
pay for the labor on the roads. l
would tax the property Of the county
to pay for this labor. The overseer
or contractor ought to be paid for
his labor and responsibility. I would
carry out the special law published
with my first article. Advertise the
citing of the roads in full time to
he lowest bidder. Make him give
hmple bonds for the faithful perfor-
|manse Of his duty. Tsrn over to
him all the county crimnals-all con
signed to the jails, who have always
been an expense to the people--all
who are sentenced to pay a fne, but
WAC have slipped cut heretofore by
pleading poverty-mske them work
out their fines on the public roads
under these contractors ss their
jailors, at specified price per day.
I would change the law of larceny
50 that it would be more effective.
I would require tho thief to restore
the value or twice the value of the
article stolen, and if he could not
pay his fine and this value besides,
put him on the public roads at the
regular wages per day till he did
pay it The value of the article
stolen, and also damages to the
owner caused by prosecuting the
theft or otherwise, to be paid over
to him. Petty larceny is the ruin of
this free negro country. The loss
from this source annually destroys
the profits of the planter. Not one
ia thousand is ever prosecuted F; but
let it be lawful to make the theft pay
back the value of the article stolen
and damages too, and new face
will be put upon the couNtry. The
petty theft will then be prosecuted,
because it will pay to prosecute him.
Every fhA;f +i-oA Wiz soon find hir,
self q road hand and pitched on to
the chain gang of the contractor.
This system will tighten the burtheu
of the tax on the people to keep sp
tho roads in good condition. The
criminals will be made useful to the
country, and cease to be, as they
always have been, q public barthen.
