choice of the Democracy was expressed
—and that too in such thu-der tones —
we were prepared to cheerfully acquiesce
in that decision, and shall give Mr. Ste
phens our hearty support. Now. we in-
vi e criticism, and are willing to let an
intelligent public judge who is the good
Democrat.
IT IS TIME TO STOP.
It is with regret that we see several
of our State journals, which were op
posed to Mr. Stcpheus before the nomi
nation, still usiug all their influence to
keep up the strife. This course is fool
ish in the extreme, and if continued in
will create discensions which may re
sult in irreparable injury to the Demo
cratic party. One among the great
cardinal principles of Democracy as
laid down by Thomas Jefferson is the
absolute acquiescence in and submission
to the decisions of the majority. The
infringement of this great principle

Before the meeting of the Democrtij
convention, The Citizen was a warm
advocate of the above named gentleman
for the olliee ot Congressman-at-large.
But the convention dee ded against us,
and nominated Col. Thomas Hardeman
for that position. We yielded obedi
ence to the mandates of the convention,
a- did our principal—he is too good a
Democrat to in any way antagonize the
party—nor is it our object now to com-
pl in nf or censure the action of the
convention, but to urge the claim- of
Hon. George T. Barnes for the rffice of
United States Senator, which Fate has
decreed limit be made vacant, and we
know of no more worthy a successor to
Hon. B. H. Hill, the great s'atesman
and orator, or one who would shed more
luster upon the great olu commonwealth
of Georgia than H«m. George T. Barnes.
Not only would he make a brilliant suc
cessor to the grea‘, dying .statesman,

At this juucture, a commotion is visible along
the avenue, a rush of carriages is noted, ami
upon inquiry we find that th i Senate has ad
journed, and the distinguished legislators are
"on the drive." Now these gentlemen, as a
body, are anything but august. There is some
talent, some brilliancy, some virtue among them,
but the majority are commonplace, frivolous,
and very undignified. Their morals are not of
the purest type. Of .ourse. when we remember
that they arc surrounded by such an atmos
phere, it is hardly to be expected. The wine j
rooms of the Theatre - omlque, the worst of I
‘‘variety shows," and the companionship and
company of habitues of the demi-monde, cannot
exert any very moral influence. Neither can it.
be affirmed that nightly dissipation, including
wlne-bibbing, fast-women, and loose-talk, can
have a beneficial influence upon a rations legis
lation.
But withal this variety and mixture of social
life, Washington is a beautiful pi ice, a pleasant
place, and an entertaining place, it is true that
the women are fast, the men lax, its society du
bious—and all that, but there is much to be
Been here, much to be .earned, much to be
avoided and much to be condemned. On the
whole, iny stay lias been agreeable, entertaining
and profitable. I shall regret very much when
the time comes to take my departure, fur I have
treasured up many pleasant memories of my
visit. The photographs that have been graven
upon my mind, will ever endure as sweet-per
fumed souvenirs, recalling many happy associa
tions, many delightful companionships, and
many grateful impressions. 1 will ever treasure
the recollections of the persons I have met dur
ing ray sojourn here, and when in moments . f
reflection my mind recurs to these ever-to-be-re
membered days, the faces of Benj. Cox, the ris
ing young artist from Burse, of Baldwin—Mr.
Stephens’ secretary, of Kichardson—the Constitu
tion's correspondent, of Morgan—the city editor
of the Evening Critic■ and numerous others, will
rise up to form a back-ground to as pleasant an
experience as was ever enjoyed by a stranger
from home.
And now I bid you adieu, promising to let you
hear from me aguin, though not from Washing
ton. I leave hore soon for other points of inte
rest. Whence I shall turn my face towards the
Sunny South again. Until then, bon soir and
pleasant dreams. J. S. K.

“We give our readers in this issue,
Mr. Stephens’ letter of acceptance.—
No fault can be found with the princi
pies he announces, for they are emi -
nent.ly correct. At the same time we
think th t •,he masses ot the Democra
cy would have been pleased at this.junc-
ture <o have had some plain talk both
in the platform and letter of acceptance
rn regard to the present posture of poli
tics in the State. Generalities suit
most any party.”
We c py the above editorial para
graph from the last, is ue of the Waynes
boro Herald, and must say that we
were b th surprised and unprepared for
such sen iments as are so insidiously in
jected into the above quoted paragraph
to be promulgated from such a source.
For, if that purapraph means any thing,
it means that the Herald is inimical to
the nominee of the party : which coup
led with the fact that our city contem
porary has never shown his colors or ut
tered one word of endorsement, of the
Democratic nominee, forces the conclu
sion that the Herald will give him a
tardy and cool support. How strange
such a heresy from one whose deep-
tor ed bcllowings so lately rulled out
upon the atmosphere in professions of
party foulty and demands for implicit
obedience to party behests.
Not long since the Herald threw up
• its hands in holy horror bcoause The
Citizen declared itself independent of
“ring and clique”—never of the lh mo-
eratic principle or the will of the people.
V'nd yet, how much need there is of a
journal which will fearlessly expose
tlie.se tricks, let the unaccountable ac
tion of the delegates to the late guber
natorial couv<.ntion serve a- an example.
All that 1 he Citizen asks is that
the masses have a fair opportunity to
ex pres , their wishes, and when they
have done so we are content. Be-

You will observe that they are distinguished

them with all the attributes that naturally be

But there you will be in error, for in tint first
place there is no society here, in the strict sense
ol the word. Those girls are ballet girls; they
figure extensively in the revels of the demi
monde. and are young ladies who are liberal in
their ideas, to an extent, accommodating, and
altogether extravagant, lrom a moral point of
view. So it goes that nine-tenths of these girls
you see promenading, are members of that
dubious class which furnishes Washington
society with its best material, and also affords
the willing subjects of t use numerous seundals
