I met Judge Alfred Morton this
morning and Baid to him: “Judge, yon
will be with ns in the next presiden
tial campaign, won’t you?” “Yes,”
said be, “I will.. I am going to central
New York when congress adjournsand
commence work on a democratic daily,
and I expect to render the democrats
as much service fo the next campaign
as I did the republicans fo the last.”
I give this as a sample of what yon
can hear all oyer Washington.
A department clerk will whit per con
fidentially in yonr ear, if he knows yon
are a democrat, and have any chance
hereafter to help him, that he is gettirg
tired of th« rotten party, and thinks
there ought to he 'a change. The ac
quisition to the democratic party from
the dishonest element fo the republi
can party will be quite as large as from
the honest and intelligent element
A government office here seems to bs a
sweet thing, and >f it can be retained by
a mere change of political opinion, it
will be done. These men are ehrewd
enough too to know that it won’t do to
the parties just named were to issue
bills in our state, what a relief it would
be to the people of the
state? If all the sound
corporations fo the state were to issue
bills it would add to the material wealth
of Georgia; fill up all her waste places
and pat every man at work fo her fer
tile fields, rich gold mfoee and mineral
beds, her water powers would be im
proved, and made to manufacture all
her products; her people would become
rich, happy and prosperous; and all
this, he says, can be accomplished by
relieving us of the tax on state money.
I haven’t a doubt but that thia is the
only salvation for our people. When
Mr. Hill talks on yonr side he is the
best talker fo the world.
POSTAL AFKAIBS.
Postmaster General Key told me this
morning that the reourtit ns made by
the honse fo the sppropriation for tbe
postoffice department were so great
that he feared that he would have to
take off tne mail can on the different
tinea of roads end do away with the
route agents. They have reduced the
salary ot one of his railway managers
and abolished the office o! the other
and he fears he will have serious trou
ble to get along with the mail service.
It is possible that our democratic house
has been too economical.

That gentleman’* genial face b always speaking
welcome to those who enter, and he U ever
ready to conrerso on anything touching Uie in -

our system of public Instruction. Wo entered
nto s conversation with him, lu which he 1&-
ormed us that he waa formerly
orroaxp to msuc schools.
In 1867 he studied the n

pre Judies against a public school system.
After three mouths of patient investigation he
concluded that he had been wrong, and chan god
hi* views. At that time he wrote one of the
very first papers which appeared ln this slate In
favor ol public schools, and It waa presented to
the state teachers' convection, and af*-cr being or
dered printed received a wide circulation. Prof.
On waa appointed chairman of a committee to
draft a report for that teachers' convention on
the subject o( public schools, snd the report was
very lull and explicit It waa by hi* effort*, aid
