In press and pulpit, the killing of CoL f
Alston 18 Still a mawer ui uiuoo...
The editor of the New Orleans Demo
crat adds to the number of intelligent
commentators by presenting t0oAls
readers and to the people of the State
a few reflections suggested by this trag
edy, and by the startling events that
have occurred in the Crescent City
since the 22d of February. After care
fully and fairly detailing the incidents
leading to the tragedy, up to the point
of Alston's friends advismg that he
arm himself against his persistent as
sailant, our Louisiana contemporary
says: "It was a proper course to ad
vise, but we suggest that they should
have gone further that they should
have advised the arrest of the person
who had made the murderous threats
against the life and person of Col. Al
ston. If that course had been pursued
Col. Alston in all probability would be
alive to-day and the State of Georgia
would not mourn the loss of one of her
bravest and most gallant sons. In Eng
land or in France, when a man threat
ens the life of another, and particularly
with a weapon drawn and directed
against the person of his victim, his ar
rest immediately follows, and he is de
prived by the strong arm of the law of
any opportunity to put his threats into
execution. In those countries it is not
rrmsidfired to be an evidence of a want
Of personal courage to catrse the arrest
of one wno tnreaxens your iuuoa is it
in fart. In a civilized community one
cannot be always armed to pi otect him
self. The laws should be capable at pro
tecting him and he should appeal to
them for protection. A jury should
consider a charee of an assault with
dangerous weapon with intent to
commit murder as a charge almost as
grave as a charge of murder, and should
feel as little hesitation in rendering a
verdict of guilty in the one case as in
the other. When public sentiment has
reached this noint there will be some
other protection to life than the pistol,
and homicides will De less irequent.
There is much truth in this, and the
failure to arrest Cox when he sallied
forth about town breathing threats of
murder and being armed for its accom
plishment, is one of the strange fea
tures of the case. The authorities of
Atlanta would hardly have let a lion or
tisrer remain loose upon their streets,
and yet they permitted a man, ftempo-
ranlv much more dangerous tnan eitn
er lion or tiger, to have full swing. It
would have been a blessing for Cox as
well as Alston had some courageous
man acted with becoming promptness.
But there was no such man apparently
uDon the scene of action, and so the
bloodv deed was done.
White Kid Gloves in Court.
TCor. Charleston News and Courier.!
Georgetown, S. C. March 17. The
court opened to-day, His Honor Judge
T. J. Mackey presiding, (the hrst time
in this county). Solicitor M. J. Hirsch
was promptly at his post. Several bills
for hor stealing, riot, liouor without l
cense, grand larceny, horse stealing, &c
were submitted and returned into court
with an entry upon most of them of
no bill." At 3 o'clock p. m. the gram
jury were aiscnargeu alter maKing
their final presentment, and the crimi
nal side of the court was closed for the
want of business.
In the annals of Georgetown county,
all the proceedings being regular, this
is the first time that the court has been
held and not a single case tried. It
speaks well for the county and deserves
more than a passing notice, in com
memoration of the event, in following
out the custom practiced in England
for many centuries, the solicitor, in a
few appropriate remarks, presented a
pair of white kid gloves, emblematic
of peace and good order, to the court,
on behalf of the high sheriff of the
county. Judge Mackey, on receiving
the same, spoke in glowing terms of
the present peaceful condition of the
country as compared with times past,
when the fires of civilization had been
almost extinguished. He congratulated
the county, and hoped the succeeding
residing judges would in like manner
e so lortunate as to be enabled to re
ceive a similar symbol.
Independent Opinion of the Senate Committee, j

The Democrats of the Senate have ta-!
ken possession of their committee rights
without any unnecessary delay, and the
new committees are announced. .Ex
cept in' two or three cases where prece

The notably weak : points are in the

of West v irginia, and Eaton, of Con
necticut, the former succeeding Win
dom and the latter Hamlin, neither of

The appropriations committee, howev
er, is one of the most important in the
Senate, and ought to be strongly
and sensibly organized. The finance
committee is one of the best in point of
ability, with Bayard at its head, but it
would be difficult to predict how it
might vote on a question of hard or
soft money, should any such question
unfortunately ever be dragged out
again. Gordon will be a better man at
the head of the commerce committee
than Conkling was ; he will apply to
its duties a broader mind with less pet
ty spites to work out. The judiciary
committee, with Thurman in the chair,
has the best lawvers in the Senate on it.
ana tne general appropriateness of most
of the assignments all the way through
the list will be recognized. If the coun

ITER OWN WORDS.
Baltimore, Md., Feb. 13, 1877.
Mr. IL R. Stevens: . t
Dear Sir Since several rears I have got a sore
and very painful foot I had some physicians, but
they couldn't cure me. ' Now I have heard of your
Vegetine from a lady who was sick for a Ions time,
and became all well from your Yegetlne, and t
went and. hought me one bottle of Vegetine; and
after I had used one bottle, the pain left me, and
It began to heal, and then I bought one other bot
tle, and so I take it yet I thank God for this rem
edy and yourself; and wishing every sufferer may
pay attention to u.
it is a Diessmg ior neaun.
MRS. C KEABK,

YEGETINE.
SAFE AND SURE.

Mr. H. R. Stevens:
In 1872 your Vegetine was recommended to me,
and yielding to the persuasions of amend,
I consented to try it At the time l was surrermg
from general debility and nervous prostration,
superinduced by overwork and irregular habits.
Its wonderful strengthening and curative proper
ties seemed to affect my debilitated system from
the first doser and under its persistent use I rapid
ly recovered, gaining more than usual health and
good feeling. Since then I have not hesitated to
give Vegetine my most unqualified indorsement
as being a safe, sure and powerful agent in promot
ing health and restoring the wasted system to new
life and energy. Vegetine is the only medicine I
use; and as long as I live I never expect to find a
better. Yours truly, W. H. CLARK,
120 Monterey Street, Alleghany, Penn.

Mr. B R. Stevens :
Dear Sir This is to certify that I have used
your "Blood Preparation in my family for several
years, and think that for Scrofula or Cankerous
Humors or Rheumatic affections It cannot be ex
celled; and as a blood purifier and spring medicine
it is the best thing I have ever used, and I have
used almost everything. I can cheerfully recom
mend It to any or.e In need of such a medicine.

Dear Sir About one year since I found myself
in a feeble condition from general debility. Vege
tine was strongly recommended to me by a friend
who had been much benefited by its use. I pro
cured the article, and, after using several bottles,
was restored to health, and discontinued Its use. I
feel quite confident that there is no medicine su
perior to it for those complaints for which It Is es
pecially prepared, and would cheeerfully recom
mend It to those who feel that they need some
thing to restore them to perfect health.
