“NOW AIN’T IT lITTLEI"
Probably, never since Quilp waged the
pinching war against his poor little wife, has
the world witnessed such a generous, white-
souled, magnanimous warfare as that waged
(in its “on the fence’* way) by the Constitu
tion against this paper. A fair up and down
fight we are not at all averse to, and a square,
high-toned, skull-cracking lick, sent flying
from the shoulder, is a thing to be rejoiced
at. But a small and petty contest, inspired
by spite and carried on below the belt, is a
thing disgusting to all fair minded men.
Now, we propose to call attention to just one
item that will characterize this contemptible
rivalry.
For some time past the various societies
and religious institutions for which; the two
papers have done favors, have been in the
habit of “returning thanks” to the papers
through their own columns for these favors.
The Herald, of course, publishing the
“card” always just as it comes from the la
dies. The Constitution, on the other hand,
publishes the “card,” but leaves out all men
tion of the Herald.
For instance—The Catholic Concert ladies,
received their notices gratis from this office;
besides this, we printed $10 worth of tickets
and programmes for them, and when they
palled out the money to pay, presented them
to the ladies.
They, then, in their gratitude sent to the
two papers a “a card,” in which both papers
were thanked, but the Herald especially.
The Herald published it as the ladies sent it,
only taking the liberty to moderate the
“thanks” returned to the Herald, as fol
lows:
To Mr. Jake Shehane for his personal ser
vices gratitously tendered. To the Concor
dia Association, for courtesies. To the Con
stitution, for many favors. To the Herald,
for their kindness, and to the public tor its
M.
The Constitution, however, left out all al-
feeling among the blacks against the whites. We
informed that he tells the negroes that the white peo- ] liberal patronage,
pie are not giving them their rights; that they belong
to that branch of the Methodiet Church which sus- j lnsion to the Herald, and prints it as fol-
tained the institution of slavery; that they ought to j i ows -

Now, whenever the Herald descends to
such a pitiable pitch as to be forced to send a
stab through such contemptible means as this
we hope the paper will be stopped tbe very
next day, and its editors drummed out of the
profession. The Constitution, for once, takes
the lead of the Herald; it leads it in malice
and littleness. Unlike that paper, we shall
decline to “imitate.” We were determined
to let the people and the profession know of
this little trick; and if there is a single paper,
big or small, in the breadth of the land that
will dare to come out and say that this thing
was not thoroughly unprofessional and ineffa
bly small, we will get down on our marrow
bones and apologize to our doughty rival.

FOR THE LAST TIME A POSITIVE
DECLINAYiOn.
During the past week we have been fairly
deluged with articles on the Public School
question. Some of them have been written
by gentlemen whom we highiy esteem; some
have been temperate and conciliatory, others
vindictive and illiberal; some have supported,
others have opposed the reading of tbe Bible
in the Public School--and all, whether Irom
friend or foe, whether mild and tolerant, or
bitter and intolerant, have had, in our opin
ion at least, a tendency to bring about that
most deplorable and unprofitable of all
quarrels, a religious controversy.
Consequently we have declined to publish
everything on the subject sent to us. Our
opinions have already been expressed. Should
the question at any time become oue of public
agitation, we shall not hesitate to take posi
tion; but so long as it is confined to a friendly
topic of conversation, the Herald must de
cline becoming the medium of fanning a
spark into a flame.
Those of our correspondents who have
waxed angry because of our declinations to
publish their contributions on the subject,
do us injustice and entirely misunderstand
our mission. It is not the premise of the
Herald to take part in religious discussions.
It is our duty iu the interests of morality and
of society to defend and support all religions
which teach of God, but we are neither
a Methodist, a Catholic, a Baptist, a Jew, a
Presbyterian or an Episcopal newspaper. We
contribute our mite and our influence to each
and every church with strict impartiality, be
cause we believe that each is engaged in a
laudable work and merits our sympathy and
support But we cannot take sides with one
church or the other, save where injustice is so
patent as to demand the expression of opinion,
and when that contingency arrises, whether
the parties in the wrong be Methodist or
Catholic, Baptist or Jewish, Presbyterian or
Episcopal, we shall not hesitate to condemn
it with that frankness of language and inde
pendence of thought that have characterized
the Herald from its first issue.
But we cannot even indirectly aid in stir
ring up tho spirit of religious fanaticism.
The world has suffered sufficiently from the
bigotry of zealots, and, besides, the spiiit of
our age is rightfully against intolerance. If
the sectarian religious press desire to discuss
the question by all means let them do so.
The Herald is a secular paper whose highest
aim is to so conduct itself that it can find
favor in the eyes of all religious denomina
tions. To please all without often ding any is
a simple task to which it is assigned, and this
it will perform even though it offends a few
well-meaning but rash men, whose prejudices
have got the best of their judgment and who
mistake bigotry for zeal.

LAST PAYMENT OF THE FRENCH
WAR INDEMNITY.
In paying the last instalment of their war j j. j ,, Tk ’ll* TV

somed their territory from the conquerors by !
paying one thousand millions of dollars in] a day or two ago a Herald reporter bad the pleasure
gold, and that, too, without suspending specie I of accompanying Dr. William Abram Love on a visit to
the Atlanta Medical College, and examining the marked
improvements now being made there.
On the way there we were glad to notice that the
sidewalks on Decatur street had been neatly paved to
Butler street, on which last named street tbe College ia
situated. Paving the sidewalks on Butler from Decatur
to the college, only a few squares, would give the stu
dents dry footing from the centre of the city to the
college. The building is situated on a commanding
point in a beautiful part of the city. The substantial
character of this building must impress every beholder
at first sight. The grounds, too, are ample for the
purposs of the school. The various lecture rooms
large and commodious, suitable aute-rooma being
connected with each. The museum and dissecting
rooms were objects of great interest to the reporter
who had not been there before. We have not apace to
tell what we saw there, suffice it to say that medical
students who desire practical illustrations of the work
ings of disease need not paSB Atlanta to obtain them.
Extensive improvements are being made in every part
of the building, the interior being cleanaed and reno
vated thoroughly, seats repaired, aad floors repaired
where needed. The skylights are also receiving need
ed attention, while the dome, window blinds, etc., are
being nicely painted.
This building has ample
capacity
for tho reception and instruction of four hundred
students. At the last session, which was the first
winter session, there were one liuudred students in
attendance, and it Is confidently expected by tbe Dean
that the number in attendance this winter will be two
hundred.
LIBERALITY OF THE FACULTY.
The improvements being made in the building and
grounds are beiDg done at the expense of the faculty,
who thus add additional evidence of their earnest
desire for the success of the college. They alao pre
scribe gratuitously throughout the year for all outdoor
patients who apply at the college for treatment, fur-
nishiug the medicines free of charge.
For this purpose a thorough dispensary is kept
within the College building, and here every day

payments; without reducing their annual
budget of expenditures, and without inflicting
any appreciable injury on the country. It is
very true that their burdens havo been greatly
increased in the shape of additional taxation,
but they have borne the weight with a pa
tience and a patriotism which are sublime in
their heroism.
France is a rich country. Eighteen years
of unprecedented prosperity under Napoleon
III. has given them a wealth second only to
that of Great Britain. Bat while there was
plenty of money in France to pay the indem
nity, and while the credit of the country was
superb, it required a self-sacrificing spirit of
patriotism to perform the feat in the brief
space of time in which it has been performed.
Without reflecting upon the iove of country of
any people, we may well wonder if any
others in the world than the French would
have acted as well and as promptly under the
same circumstances. To love France with all
the ardor and passsion of a son for his moth
er, is with a Frenchman a second nature;
thus, when we hear in every part of France,
whether in city or in village, from morning
till night, Ihe monotonous refrain, “Mourir
de la Patrie,” we can understand the depth
of feeling and the lover-like devotion for the
land of his nativity which has to-day given
to Franco aud to Frenchmen a brighter glory
than war has ever won them.
Free now from the presence of the armed
conqueror, th© French are left to 4 work
out their own future. If they are as prudent
as they have been self sacrificing, they will
avoid anything like an irritating policy. We
fear, however, that with the retirement of the ! these poor victims of disease.

TO OUR CORRESPONDENTS IN GEOR
GIA AND ALABAMA.
We take this method of requesting our
correspondents or agents in every town and
village of Georgia and Alabama, to prepare
and forward as soon as possible to this office,
a short and succinct statement of the crops in
their own and the neighboring counties. We
desire this information for the next Sunday’s
Herald as a supplement to the review of
Atlanta’s trade for the past year, and her
prospects for the coming year. We shall
trust, gentlemen, that this “call” will be suf
ficient to bring you all to the desired mark.
We have addressed a circular to the Mayor
or Postmaster of every city, town and village
that has commercial relations with Atlanta
within our boundary, asking (or a short re
view of the business and growth of the place
during the past year just closing, and the
next Sunday’s Herald will contain over filty
columns of regular “Georgia glory.”
We have the best State in the Union, and
we propose to prove it in just one week from
to-day.
Let us hear lrom you gentlemen early ia the
week.
MUTUAL INSURANCE.
We shall publish a series of communica
tions under this head from the pen of Mr.
Wm. King, of Marietta, one of tbe oldest and
most distinguished insurance men in Georgia.
Tbe articles are written at the request of a
member of the Merchants’ “On Change,” ond
Mr. King will deliver an address on Tuesday
night at the Chambers of Commerce, at the
meeting called to consider the insurance
question.
THE ACTION OF THE COUNCIL FOR
WATER-WORKS.
By the action of the City Council last Fri
day night authority was given to the Board of
Water Commissioners to issue $300,000 of
bonds, the proceeds to be used iu the con
struction of water-works for the city. We
heartily approve of the Council’s action, and
trust that the Commissioners will now go to
work and give us an efficient system of water
works in the briefest possible space of time.
Those who dread that the issue of the bonds
will embarrass the finances of the city, can
safely dismiss their fears. There is no reason
why the Water Works should not sustain it
self, pay the interest on the bonds, and pro
vide a sinking fund lor their redemption, as
in other cities. It lies in the power of the
Council to make the Water Works self-sus
taining from the start, and this power it
should unhesitatingly exercise, not only in
the interest of the finances of Atlanta, but also
in the interest of the health and well being of
the people.
We place full confidence in the Board of
Water Commissioners; hence, we believi
they will have the Works constructed econom
ically and with dispatch. It is, therefore,
with much satisfaction that we see one great
need of Atlanta in process of being satisfied.
Much agitation and no little argument have
been required to effect the object sought, but
the question has at last been settled and Mr.
Murphy, the President of the Board, who has
displayed much energy in, and devoted
no little attention to the great work, and his
colleages of the Board, who have been equal
ly active and zealous, can now proceed and
put into execution the plans they have per
fected.
We trust that there will not anything trans
pire to delay or retard the progress of the
work, but that before another September ar
rives, we shall be able to boast of as efficient
and thorough a system of water works as any
city in the South possesses.

Before the war this was one of the pets and prides

ground by tbe torches of that Federal General. It
has only had a nominal existence since, but the other
d«y it was, so to speak, put upon the market and tho
citie* of Georgia invited to make bids for its perma
nent location. No sooner had this information reached
Macon than a move was made to secure it. as an
nounced in the Atlanta papetB.
The Laboratory Building, two miles north ot tho
city, with all its extensive grounds—the point, as we
all remember, whero the great Fair of ’C9 was held—
was suggested as a proper donation. The institution
would indeed be lucky if it could secure these splendid
quarters for its uses. It is doubtful if the improve
ments already on the grounds could be rebuilt for less
than $150,00u, and should the city of Macon or tbe
company to which this Confederate laboratory be
longs agree to make the oiler, it will no doubt be very
readily accepted by the trustee*. At least, it ought to
be, for there is nothing in the 8tate so perfectly
adapted for their purposes. The buildiug and the
grounds could be pat in order for their acceptance
and accommodation in sixty days.
There is a determined spirit in the city to-day to
secure that institution snd the Catholic University.
Each are regarded as absolutely essential to the pro
gress of Macon. It is hoped that the vast details Of
the great State Fair will not deter a proper consider
ation ot these ten times more weighty matter*.

THE DELICATE SIR. REESE.
We are very glad indeed that our Macon
correspondent has taken off our hands the
disagreeable necessity of replying to the
naughty satire that was spun from between
Reese’s pink fingers in yesterday’s Telegraph.
You see. we never like to get after Reese. He
is pat ap on such a dainty and fragile plan,
that we feel, when wo are scraping him down,
exactly as if we were handling Dresden
China. We are always afraid we’ll drop him
and break him—and this we should
hate to do, for it is possible
that in tho inscrutable intentions of Provi
dence, even Reese was put upon earth for
some usefal purpose; and as he has not yet
accomplished if, (or as far as we know even
begun it) we should hate to cut him off be
fore he bad f worked out his little end. Now,
if it were the vigorous Clisby who his ac
quired strength by tho raising of numberless
cabbages, and retained it by the eating of
them, or the virtuous Jones, on the summit
of whose nose the sunset of passing cocktails
gratefully lingers, we should unhesitatingly
scalp them. But aa it is Reese—gaudy crea
ture—we forbear. He is just absolutely too
sweet to kill.

A few days ago wo had the pleasure of mooting Mr.
Davenport Jackson of Augusta, Solicitor General of
that Circuit, snd one of the most promising lawyers in
the State. Ho bad just returned from a Northern tour
and speaks very enthusiastically of tbe manner he en
joyed himself while traveling. We think we have per
suaded him to write ua a letter, telling where he went
and what he saw. Hence we forbear to comment on
hia description of it to us. We trust we may soon bo
enabled to publish some Interesting and spicy letters
from his pen.

while these modest poor of God’s heritage
are pining away, sick at heart, and almost
ready to question the truth uttered by the
Psalmist, “I have been young, but now am
old; yet I have never seen the righteous for
saken or his seed begging bread.”
There is a scheme, Messrs. Editors, which, if
properly engineered, will give honorable em
ployment to all who are here, and as many
more, and in doing this will afford such re
muneration as will entirely remove this load
of responsibility, and give much comfort to
the almoners. I briefly referred to such a
scheme and its successful workings in a
neighboring city some months ago, through
your paper, and there is no just reason why
it should not be equally potent in the present
emergency. If desired this scheme can be
elaborated and all can determine then of its
feasibility.
You have touched a cord which ought to
vibrate responsively iu every breast, aud you
do well to urge tho consideration of this great
subject before the winter’s cold shall have
placed many of the Lord’s poor beyond the
reach of this charitable provision.
Yours, A. |

This entertainment would conduce to a better state j
of feeling between the different sections of country.
A. D. Adair moved that the Board of Trade ask tbe
Council to donate $2,000 for this purpose, and that
Friday tbe 12th of September be aet apart aa tbe diy.
Captain John Stephens thought tbe Council ought to
pay about one half tbe expense.
Mr. Adair’s motion was amended so as to read—
that the Council be requested to meet at 8 o’clock
to-night and make a liberal donation for the enter
tainment.
A. K. Seago thought the few member* of the Cham
ber of Commerce present could or ought not to assume
to reflect public sentiment. Did not know whether
tbe tax payers wanted to make this donation or not.
Iherefore he could not vote for the measure.
Col. A. J. McBride thought Mr. Beago’s premises
were not well founded; thought this the proper op
portunity to preperly celebrate the completion of this
important enterprise.
Captain John Stephens stated that at tbe ia&t regular
meeting of the Board of Trade they heartily indorsed
this measure.
Captaiu Langston called attention to the fact that
this was not a in -eting of the Board of Trade—but a
citizen*’ meeting.
Alderman Doting thought the time till the 12th was
too short.
The amount the entertainment would cost ought to
be ascertained as nearly as possible.
My God, my Father, while I stray,
Far from my home, on life's rough way,

that of a man’s, and the way iu which this ’ r, '~ " >n ^ ««*****»•
important ormtho anthropological fact was
developed was thns: On last Friday—un
lucky day—Mrs. Kingau went to the house
of Sam Derry, her brother, lor a stray
gosling, and drove it off m triumph, her
prophetic eye discerning it afar oft’ amid
the snows of Christmas, browning de
liciously over the dripping pau. Derry
was indignant, aud wept over his beloved
gosling as Achilles wept over the body of
Fatroclus, but nursed his wrath iu silence
ontil tho following day. Then did Lucinda
Kingan, re-enforced by her husband, Har
rison Kingau, meet Samuel Derry in battle
array. The signal was sounded and hostil
ities opened by a desperate blow from Kingau
on tho head of Derry with a war club. Den y re
torted with a brick, burled with such impetu
ous force that it felled Kingan to the earth,
while the State of Senator Morton shook
to its center. The war that for a Rpacc did
fail, now trebly thundering swelled the gale,
and “Goslings!” was the cry. Tho male aud
female Kindau at once opened on Derry-down
with knivep, and gave his soul a wide exit
with five deadly holes, which they punched
in his body with their weapons.
Even as Victoria Woodhull, with dilated
eye and nostril dance a war jig on the lecture
platform over the slaughtered boud of matri
mony, did Lucinda dance in triumph around
the body of her brother, whose blood will give
a delicate relish, surpassing that of sauce
figurante or toothsome jelly, to her green gos
ling uoxt Christmas. When all is lovely tho
goose hangs high. In this case it would be
well to let Lucinda and her gosling hang to
gether.
The Junk Dealers.—The caso of the city against
the junk dealers came up before Recorder Hammond

If it is not abated after six hours notice tbe police are
instructed to arrest the parties, and for each arrest the
parties are promised a similar fine.

The Macon Telegraph is out this morning in a
Pecksniffian article, ridiculing the enterprise of the
Atlanta papers. This fossllileroas remains of a last
year’s almanacj has been whipped out of it* boots,
and its readers. consulting the Herald ,
for news which occurs in its own office. It tries to
raise a laugh at that which it cannot even imitate. It
s a hard race with it to catch up with yesterday,
aud when it reaches tho distance of sixty
yard* beyond its publication office tbe Herald ia five
hours old, although the Herald ia printed a hundred
miles sway. It arrives at all points in Southwest
Georgia simultaneously with the Telegraph.
It has not yot heard of the Catholic Uni
versity snd Marietta Institute coming
to Macon. An obscure advertisement announcing
that some eort of a fair will be held here in the Fall.
But no mouth. It ie conducted exclusively upon the
silk stocking, aristocratic principle, but if any editor ia
found in the office before 12 noon er after 6 r. u..
ia discharged incoutiaently. Diaoourtc-oua to ita
cotemporaries, it suggests a doubtfu» witicism in lien
of that Indomitable energy characteristic of the
Atlanta Herald.
