A GEORGIA-VEBW. The Vurtous CommentS of Some People on the Dicharge or Blackwood. (From the Atlanta Conatitution.) t The governor has as yet received no ap plication for a requisition for F. A. Black- d wood, the much-fought-over forger who is now under arrest in Aiken county, South n Carolina. It will be remembered that when Black wood's application for a writ of habeas 1 corpus was decided in his favor, instead of t being turned loose, he was placed upon South Carolina soil, but, by a strange coin cidence, right within reach of some South Carolpa constables, who had warrants for 1 his arrest. It was'supposed that immediately after his arfest dpplication for a requisition would be made by the Augusta authorities. But so far there are no evidences of any such action. The decision of Judge Honey in this case 1 seems to amuse a good many members of the profession in Atlanta. They say that the only question before the court was the legality of the arrest of the pgisoner, and 1 that that question could not have been t made by the prisoner. That has been the t universal decision. So Judge Honey must * have released the prisoner lecause he found that his arrest was illegal and that the sov ereign-that is the State of South Carolina -was demanding his release. There is no law on the face of the earth to sustain him in this position. It is not comity nor ex tradition nor anything else. But the most amusing fact connected with the whole aflair was that Black wood was not released. If entitleti to his liberty he ought to have walked out of the court house a free man. But it seems that while declaring that he ought to be released, the judge did not re lease him, but instead put him in custody of 1 the shoriff to carry him back to South Car olina. The sheriff didn't carry him back to South Carolina, but carried him down below. Augusta to Sand Bar Ferry, and put him in a boat and carried him over to the South Carolina coast on Beach Island, where.-two South Carolina officers stood ready to arrest him. ''Who sent them to that particular point on the river?" asked a prominent attorney who was discussing the question yesterday. ''Who sent the sheriff with his prisoner several miles (own the river when there - was a broad ;brldge by which they could have crossed to Carolina? Where did Judige Honey finl his authority for releas ing a prisoner on habeas corpus and still holding him in custody? Who sent the sheriff down the river? All this may be very adroit management, but it isn't law. Such a decision will be ridiculed on both sides of the river." ] This is a sample of the queries put by different members of the bar whe. discuss ing the Blackwood matter. The prepon derance of opinion seems to be that Judge Honey's decision is not good law, but while they criticise his decision, all join in paying the highest tribute to his character as a mun and in expressing the belief that lie has 1 acted conscientiously throughout. MOItE OF 13LAUItWOOI. EITorIN to Rrizng About a Uon proniLe to lho Inltercets of btono and MeNuIy. (k'roin the Atlanta constitution.) The friends of Stone and McNally, the two men charged with having kid napped the forger Blackwood, are making a strong etrort to bring about some compro misc by which these men miay escape trial upon the charge hanging over .their heads. For some days the ollicers here have been expecting to receive an application for a retuisition for Blickwood, but no such ap plication has as yet been received. It will be remembered th:t when the habeas corpus case was decidsd in favor of Blackwood the court, instead of ordering his release, turned hin over to the custody of the sheritf of ltichmond county, with in structions to "pllace him back upon Southl Carolina soil." T1his was done, but it was dlone in a way which iindientes that there must have been sonme previous und(estand-( ing between the authorities of ltichmnondl county andl those of Aiken cun~ty, S. C. A broad bridge joinis Augusta and 11am burg, aind hiad the prisoner been releaised, andl he shiould have been under the decisioii of the court, he woul unldoubtedly have made straight for thatL bridge as thle sham t est path to safety. It-is na:turail to siuppose5, too, that thle sheriff wouild( on(hlnril y have taken Blackwood to South Carolina by this rouite.] Did lie (10 this Hardly. Mr. Sheriff cvi dently hats a fondness for water routes, and to gratify this fondness tatkes his pirisoner several miles down the river, where a row boat is obtained, mind together they are landed on the SouthI Carolina bink of the river. By a st range coincidenice, several Aiken counlty conistales hlappeni to lie at the same point at thme same tinie anid the re suilt is Blackwood's ride to liberty is nioth ing more than a transfer from a jail In Georgia to one in South Cairolina. Bllackwood is supposedl to be held until a requisition can be issued for him, but lie is, in really, being held uintil sonic sort of an agreement can be brought, about. Stone and MceNally3 are considerably averse to hbeing triedl in South Carolina for kidnapping, and if they (an effect some or rangemnent by whieh thle wounded honor of the State of South (Carolina can he apl. peased they will gladly (10 so. As the matter now stand(s they are to be turned over to the authorities of Aiken coumnty, S. C., as soon as the cases pending in Georgia courts are dhecidedl. It is statted upoin good authority that their attorneys have made a proposition to drop the prosecutlion againmst Black wood in case the same is (lone with the eases against Stone and1( McNally. 'lThis is the same proposition that was madle by their friends before the habeas corpus case was decCided. The Southi Car oliniaauthorities refused to entertiain it thenmi aund it, does not seemi likely that, they will do so now. If t his fails, a compr'omise will be sought oni somne other lcusis.

The Netws and ourier criticisesthe ac on of governor - Richardson in commu Ing the sentence of an Orangeburg mur erer from death to Imprisonment for life. he jury recommended the prisoner to 1erty, the Judge recommended the com nutatlon of the senten ce to a term of years ass than the life time of the prisoner, and he Solicitor recommended the commuta ion. Every one, therefore, officially con iected with the case, who heard the trial, rudge, Jury, Solicitor, and prominent citi ens, recommendcd a commutation. We >Clieve in a rigid enforcement of the law in 11 cases, but it does strike us as a little un easonable to criticise a Governor for corn fluting a sentence under these circum tances. To have refused, would have cen bloodthirsty and Inhuman on the >art of the Governor. human life, even hat of a criminal, should only be taken In ;xtreoe cases, and the Governor has been ;iven the commuting and pardoning power o corrcct those cases in which the penal les prescribed by law are too rigorous for he circumstances of the case, or in which ;rror is made to appear. All the ofllcers epresenting the State expressed the opin on that the punishment was too severe for he circVmstances of the case, and the Gov rnor was right, we think, in commuting he death penalty to imprisonment for life. A Uackeilding Contemjorary. (Nowberry Observer.) The News and Couricr nominates Ion. .

[ndeed, South Carolina has no worthier son 'han Charles I. Simonton, and his appoint nent would be gratifying to the peoplc of he State. All this is true, as every one knows who kIows Mr. Simonton, either personally or by reputation. Bu<t it grieves us beyond measure to see >ur esteemed contemporary come down from its lofty and unpartisan pinnacle of ivil service an(1 a(lvocate the appointment >f a man because lie is ''a Democrat" at all; mtid it, grieves us most of all that it evei idvocates one because lie is not only "a )emoerat," but has been 'a Democrat from lUs youth up."

The Legislature should mleet only once in two years, and should 3tay in session until matters needing atten ion were carefully nd .deliberately con adered and acted upon, tlhen .there would ie very little, or at least much less, need of onstantly amendling and changing the laws tlready imade.

Under date of August 16, 1861, Gth neral Grant directed Sheri Ian to aend a division of cavalry through London county to "destroy and carry >fT'crops, animals, negroes and all men mnd-r tifty years of age capable of bear ing armas. In this way you will get mnany oh Mosby 's men." Under date of August 20, General Grant ordered Sheridan to ''do all the damiago to rail roads and crops that you can, carry oil' stock of all descriptions and1 negroes, so as to prevent further planting. If the war is to last another year we want the Shenandoah Valley to remain a barren waste." In November he suggested to General Sheridan that it woul be ad visile to "notify all citizens living east of the Bllue Ridge to move north of the Potomac all their stock, grain and pro visions of every description." "There is no dIoubt," General Grant continued, "about the ncessity' of cleaning out that country so that it will not support Mosby's gang, So long as the war lasts these people must be prevented from raiming another crop, both there and as high op tha valley an we can control."

Abell, founder of the Baltimore Sun, who has just celebrated the 50th an niversary of his management of that jour nal, received, in his private otllce, many prominent citizens, who called to offer their congratulations, and telegrams and letters of congrqtulation poured in throughout the day. Among them was a message from President Cleveland, saying: "Accept my congratulations upon the 50th anniver-sary of your management of the Baltimore sun, with hope that your influence for good may long continue to guide its course." THE BLUE ANI! TiIE Qal IY. "With Malice Toward None, willh charity ror All." (From the Now York Herald.) The brave Southerners who took part in Pickett's brilliant charge at Gettysburg, have been looking forward to ,July with high anticipations. They hoped to meet their Northern opponents on that famous and fateful day, to rehearse the events which were big with historic significance and to recount to each other innumerable adventures and hairbreadth escapes. They were also to take with them a mon ument, commemorative of the splendid courage of their comrades, and to erect it on the furthest point reached within the union lines. The phmn is approved by the survivors of the union forces which re pulsed and drove them back. There seems no harm in marking the spot where the Northern forces were temporarily broken, and if a monument to Southern courage stands close to a monument of Northern pluck, what of it? The brave men on both sides crossed their swords there, and the spot will forever have a painful interest for every American. But the Gettysburg Battlefield Memorial Association say "No, 'politely, yet decided ly. The are willing to have the monument built at Pickett's starting point, but not within the lines of the Northern army. They object, also, to the inscription on the base of the moument, two lines written in pencil by General Lee and found in his army satchel after Appomattox: Glorious is his fate and envied is his lot Who for his country lights and for it (lies. This strikes us a very mean and small business. So it will strike every soldkr who won honor on that ficId. '1 he brave man is always ready to give (leserved praise to his opponent. It was an awful day, that day of Pickett's charge, and stern Southern stuff wvas met by stern stuir from the North. If those Ifmgnificent armies could meet in July, 1887, they wvould "pre sent arms" to each other. If the cause of the North was victorious it was not becaluse the South lacked courage, and we may well be grateful that after 25 years tile survi vors, Northern and Southmern, shake hands as citi-zens oIf a united cmlntry.. The dead of bo0th sid1es may p)roperly he honored. Tile South should1( he invited to buiild as nmny mlolnments aIs thecy pleamse, amnd on any sp)ot to which their (dash1 and valor give therni claim. Those heroes lie s1(de by side in neighlboring gr-ayes, anId if the monuments of North and houth touch eachl other they are simply typical of the twvo forces which during the charnge were close enough to cross bayonets. 4 Newv Telephone. Dr. C'ornleliuls Ilerz hais invented a tele phone which can be madle for 6I2A cents, \Vhcrecver the electric button can be used, Hlerz's telephone can be applliedl.

Martin Diet, while at work on a pieoe of ground near the residence of Joseph Puper, Garden City Park, found a neat of blaok snakes, -about thirty in all, which he killed in a few minutes. The following day he found a batch of forty nine more, near the same place, which his two dogs killed. Tie snakes were evidently lubernating, not having awak ened from their winter's lethargy, and so became easy victims to the farmer and his two dogs. The largest snake measured five foot seven inces. The capture of a large 'possum, with six young 'possums, by Alfred Cornell, at lineola, tho other day, caused quite a stir in colored society circles, with whom baked 'possum has become much of a luxury of late years.
