Since the close of the war the cry of the
Northern prees io the South has been* “Leave
politics alone; attend to the development of
your material resources, and bnild np your
waste places. " This song many Southern
papers have taken np, and we find them sing
ing it in load tones, while at least one Con

refrain of a so-called Democratic body.

The reform movement which the Herald
has started in the interest of morality and
against the wretched creatures who pollute
the streets of Atlanta every night, is meeting
with a hearty response from all quarters of
the city. We publish this morning a few of
the many letters we have received from citi

mean we cannot understand. Nine-tenths
of the old “secession leaders" have taken
little or no part in politics since the war end
ed. The Southern people have followed the
coaDseU of political neophytes and political
trimmers. Had they kept these old “seces
sion leaders" at their head they would have
been much better off to-day.
A timid Conservatism is what has injured
the South. It whined about “ waste places"
and “material resources;" ate any quantity of
dirt and struggled for office. Wonld not the

Not a night passes that dozens of aban
doned negro women do not pollute the streets
with their presence. Where they do not oat-
rage every moral sense by overt acts of in
decency, they do not fail, by Rhameless solici
tations, by suggestive gestures and filthy lan
guage, to sicken and disgust every man who
has a wife, a mother, or a sister, whom he
loves and respects. Nor are there wanting
white men—depraved creatures, whose sense
of right and wrong have been long blunted
by years of debauchery—to encourage the
bordes of negro strumpets in their nefarious
traffic.
A stop must be put to this thing at once.

The board were greatly pleased with the

by the class, and they were conyinced that
the practice of frequent written examination
had contributed much to the high literary ex

SOMETHING WRONG SOMEWHERE.
We have, for some time past, been observ-
ing the manner in which the telegraphic dis
patches are sent, sod we must confess that
there seems to be something radically wrong
in their transmission. ' s we understand it,
onr telegrams are obtained from tbe New York
Associated Press. How is it, then, that the
Southern paper, are kept a day behind al
ways? For instance, the dispatch relating to
\ tho Imperialist reception at Cbiselhnrst was
conscience," and tbe late typo made it read
“An old white hen was laying on his con
science." Now, while the friends of the typo
urged in extenuation of his offense that, if
he thought anything was “lajiug" on the
man’s conscience, his chance selection of
“au old white hen," was both tasty and ap
propriate, the editor declined to see it that
way, aud tore him open with a shooting
stick. He was discharged yesterday, on the
ground of “commendable homicide," and
complimented highly by tbe court on his
promptness.

been recently swindling hotel proprietors and

An Atlanta Scandal.
The Griffin News makes mention of a social scan-
dal which has bssn circulating in Atlanta for some
days past. It refers to the alleged separation of a
husband and wife who have long been prominent res-
dents of this city. We have refrained from saying
anything on ths subject, because it is not before a
court, or in such shape as would warrant publication,
ir half tbe rumors afloat ar* true, ths csss ia one of
the saddest on record. We understand that the lady
haa left, or is about to leave, the city, to take up her
residence elsewhere, and rumor also says that she

reports say, and these are not reliable enough to base
an opinion upon. It seems certain howsver, that a
domestic circle hoe been broken up. and that ties
which ordinarily exist for life bsve been rudely

The reports from all quarters indicate that
the cotton crop this year will be a large one,
bnt not so large as to cause a break in prices.
Increased consumption at home, and at the
North will take a large part of the extra
yield; while the same cause will operate to
keep up prices, and are therefore hopeful
that for the first time since the war ended cot
ton planters will reap some reward for their
toil. The coming fall and winter bid fair to
be a prosperous one with us.
