A GEORGIA IEW. The Curous Comments of some People on the Dicharge of mackwood (From the Atlanta Constitution.) The governor has as yet received no ap- t plication for a requisition for F. A. Black wood, the much-fought-over forger wno is now under arrest in Aiken county. Souit-h Carolina. It will be remembered that whnen Black wood's application for a writ of liabeas t corpus was decided in his favor, instead of t being turned loose, he was pacet upon South Carolina soil. but. by a strange coi.1 cidence. right within reach of some South Carolina constables. who had warr.ats fr hisarrest. It was supposed that im.ediately after his arrest application for a requisitlon r would be made by the Auguta atherme. But so far there are no evidencs ot ay i such action. The decisiou of Judge loney in ti::'. case seems to amuse a good many miember- of the profession in Atlanta. They say that the only question before the cuu:t was the - legality of the arrest of the prisoner, and that that question could not have been t made by the prisoner. That has been the t universal decision. So Judge Roney must have released the prisoner because he found that his arrest was illegal and iihat the sov ereign-that is the State of South Carolina t -was demanding his release. There is no C law on the face of the earth to sustain him t in this position. It is not comity nor ex tradition nor anything else. But the most amusing fact connectcd with the whole affair was that Blackwood was not released. If entitled to his liberty he ought to have walked out of the court house a free man. t But it seems that while declaring that he ought to be released, the judge did not re- t lease him, but instead put him in custody of I the sheriff to carry hin back to South Car- I olina. The sheriff didn't carry him back to South Carolina, but carried him down below Augusta to Sand Bar Ferry, and put I him in a boat and carried him over to the South Carolina coast on Beach Island. where two South Carolina olicers stood ready to arrest him. t "Who sent them to that particular point I on the river*" asked a prominent attorney t who was discussing the question yesterday. "Who sent the sheriff with his prisoner I several miles down the river when there 1 was a broad 'bridge by which they could have crossed to Carolia? Where did Judge Roney find his authority for releas ing a prisoner on habeas corpus and still holding him in custody? Who sent the C 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 >f the bar when discuss- I ing the Blackwood matter. The prepon derance of opinion seems to be that Judge Roney's decision is not good law, but while they criticise his decision. all join in paying the highest tribute to his character as a man and in expressing the belief that he has I acted conscientiously throughout. t MORE OF BLACKWOOD. t - Efforts to Bring About a Compromise in the Interests of Stone and McNally. (From the Atlanta constitution.) The friends of Stone and MIcNally. the two men charged with having kid napped the forger blackwood, are making a strong effort to bring about some compro mise by which these men may escape trial upon the charge hanging over .their heads. For some days the officers here have been expecting to receive an application for a requisition for Blackwood, but no such ap plication has as yet been received. Jt will be remembered that when the habeas corpus case was decided in favor of Blackwood the court, instead of ordering his release, turned him over to Ihie custody *of the sheriff of Richmond county, with in structions to "place hinm back upon South I Carolina soil." This was done, but it was done in a way which indicates that there must have been some previous understand- 1 ing between the authorities of Richmondi t county and those of Aiken county, S. C. A broad bridge joins Augusta and I1am burg, and had the prisoner been released. and he should have been under the decision of the court, he would undoubtedly have 1 made straight for that bridge as the short- C est path to safety. It is natural to suppose, too, that the sheriff would ordinarily have taken Blackwood to South Carolina by this< route. - Did he do this? Hardly. MIr. Sheriff evi- t dently has a fondness for water routes, anda to gratify this fondness takes his prisoner( several miles down the river, where a row ] boat is obotained, and together they arc landed on the South Carolina bank of the - river. By a strange coincidence, several A&iken county constables happen to be at the same point at the same time and the re sult is Blackwood's ride to liberty is noth ing more - than a transfer from a jail in Georgia to one in South Carolina. Blackwood is supposed to be held until a requisition can be issued for him, but he is, I in reality, being held until some sort of an agreement can be brought about. Stone and MIcNally are considerably1 averse to being tried in South Carolina for kidnapping, and if they can effect some ara rangement by which the wounded honor ( of the State of South Carolina can be ap-a peased they will gladly do so. As the< matter now stands they are to be turned - over to the authorities of Aiken county, S. C., as soon as the cases pending in Georgia courts are decided. -It is stated upon good authority that their attorneys have made a proposition to , drop the prosecution against Blackwood in case the same is done with the eases against Stone and 3IcNally. This is the same proposition that wasI made by their friends before the habea., corpus case was decided. The South Car olina authorities ref used to entertain it then, and it does not seem likely that they will. Ao so now. If this fails, a compromise will be s,ght on some other basis. t In the meantime Blackwood languishes1 - in jail. -__ __ __ A Woman Kills Her Child. *Effie and Jane Shaller, colored, living or the plantation of M1r. Barnes Plyler, jtust over the State line, were arrested on Satuir- I dylast, charged with murdering an infamns cid of the former. Efie Shallers is the I mother of foui- children, all of them, how ever, were said to have been still born. Ons Saturday last her fourth child was born.c No one was present wvith her but her moth t -er, Jane Shaller. It was regarded as a sus-e picious circumstance. in the neighborhood, that all her children should have been born dead, so a physician was sent for and ar examination was made of the child. The physician removed one of the lungs of the child and placing it iti water found th it it tioated, which showed that the child h'?d ~ once breathed. On further examination its neck and shoulders were found to be brokt . The women both persisted that the child was born dead. Warrants were taken out e for them and they were held for trial on bond of $2,000 each.-Lancaster- Ledger.

THE DLUE AND THE GR 1. "With Malice Toward None, With Charity for (From the Nev 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 furthert point reached within the union lines. The plan is approved by the survivors of the union forces which re pulsed and drove them back. There scems no harm in marking the spot where the Northern forces were temporarily broken. and if a monument to Southern courage stands close to a moaument 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 fights and for it dies. This strikes us a very mean and small business. So it will strike cvery' soldier who won honor on that field. The brave man is always ready to give deserved praise to his opponent. It was an awful day, that day of Pickett's -charge, and stern Southern stuff was met by stern sttuff from the North. If those magnificent armies could meet in July, 1887, they would "pre sent arms'' to each other. If the cause of the North was victorious it was not because the South lacked courage, and we may well be grateful that after 2-> years the survi vors, Northern and Sotuthern, shake hands as citizens of a united country. The dead of both sides may properly he honored. The South shoruld be invited to build as many monuments as they please. and on any spot to which their dash and valor give them claim. Those heroes lih side by side in neighboring graves, and if the monuments of North and South touch each other they are simply typical of the two forces which during the charge were close enough to cross bayonets. A New Telephone. Dr. Cornelius Herz has invented a tele phone which can be made for 62;1 cents. Wherever the electric button can be used, Herz's telephone can be applied. It is es pecially adapted to use in hotels and resi dences. With it one can speak as well as ring. The people will welcome all inven tions of the kind. They add to the conve nences we now enjoy. Fre long the rate on the Bell telephone will be reduced, and it will be placed within reach of hundreds who are denied the use of it by the unreasonable and exorbitant rental which is demanded by the company. Illinois proposes that the rental in that State shall not exceed $:36 per annu~m for each instrument. New York is canvassing the question. The price ought to be re duced by the company itself.-Au'guta Chronide. The sprague Fam~ly. The complicated domestic affairs of the Sprague family have long held an undue share of public attention. It will be re membered that ex-Governor Spraigue. of Rhode Island, after being divorced from the daughter of Chief Justice Chase, ma.r ried a girl at Staunton, Va., and that his son Willie further illustrated the f'amiy tendency to peculiar matrimonial perform ances by marrying his step-mother's sister and becommng by that operation his own uncle-in-law. The boy has now further proved his devotion to the paternal exam ple by applying for a divorce from his wife on the ground that he was not of legal age when married. "Work, Work, Work." How many women there are wo:king to day in various branches of inudustry'-to say nothing of the thousands of p~atienIt housewives whose lives are an unceaing round of toil-who are martyrs to those complaints to which the weaker sex is lia ble. Their tasks are rendered doubly hard and irksome and their lives shortened, yet hard necessity compels them to keep on. To such Dr. Pierce's "Favorite P'rescrip tion" offers a sure means relief. For all femae'weaknesses it is a certain cure. Alt druggists. Suicide ofran .illl~amor.
