TAKING OATH. | The Tribdne has zea'onsly advo | cated the pending reform in regis tration, hut it is always willing to hear the other side, especially from so sound and conservative a Demo crat as Judge Harris. We have read his card with attention and in terest, for it is written in the spirit of fair criticism, and has more force | than the frivolous objections that are being used to prejudice the bill. We do not think Judge Harris lays any too much emphasis on the sanctity of an oath, but we do not see that his c inclusion follows from that premise *'he citizen finds that [ an oath meets him at the threshold of every important function of gov ' ernment. He takes an oath on in- ' duction into office. He eannot take his seat in the legislative without swearing to support tne constitution of the State and the United States, and to vote for the best interest of | the people on all questions that come before him. The public ser vant must take oath before he can serve; why then should not the citi zen in the sovereign capacity of- an , elector take oath before exercising the right of suffrage, which is he highest function of civil govern- i nieut? The beginning of free gov- ' ernment is at the ballot box; there is the source of all power aud au- i thority, and there the public ser- | vant is'created. There begins the good or evil, and there we should plant the first bulwark against cor ruption. THE ATLANTA HERALD. The failure of the Atlanta Herald is to be regretted. It was one of, the brightest and best afternoon pa-i pers in the South and its editor, Mr. ; Josiah Carter, is an experienced newspaper man of energy and good judgment. His trouble seems to have been the result of too much enterprise. In ordinary years, the efforts which the Herald has lately put forth would have put the paper on a wave of prosperity, but busi-1 news was not in a condit : on to re spond to unusual demands, and Mr. Carter’s energy has not met the re ward which it won five years ago on the Journal. We hope be may be able to re sume. The joint committee on the lunat ic asylum wi’l recommend an appro priation of $120,000 for increasing the accommodations at the asylum. This money is for a new building for negro inmates, and remodelling and repairing the present depart ments for the negroes so as to fit them up for white male patients. This is not as large as the amount asked for the purpose, tut a judi cious expediture of. it will make the accommodations at the asylum ade quate for all legitimate demands. Judgs Sam Harris, of the Coweta I Circuit, who presided at the trial of the Carroll county white ''ape, re cently pardoned, makes a very strong defense of the Governor’s action, which has been the subject of some criticism. The Judge thinks the the Governor did right in granting the pardon, which was asked for by practically all the citizens of Carroll county. A CARD PROM JUDGE HARRIS- Section 1276 of the code of Georgia gives the qualification of a voter in the State of Georgia; among them is the re quirement that rbe voter shall have paid all taxes since 1877 —this is not substan tailiy the law—except for the year of the election. It further <i< clan s that no pers n shall vote who, if challenged, shall refuse to swear (« mongo-her things) 'bat he has pid 'he itquirrd taxes. Ibe same sec ti 'U prohit-i'S persona convicted of cer tain crimes, and also all idiots aud lu ll I'ics tiona voting. Tne right of challenging or questioning the vote of any person offering to vote anj where iu this state is fully giveu by la'-; nevertheless for some some reason, a hm has p-88-d the eeuaie- f 'his com mon w -alth which challenges—qu-stions to- vo'eof ttv-ry cmz u ot Fioyd conn'y aud b-tore he can c-st bis bailor for 'be men aud measures he favors, the upright and houes> voter is required toswea that he has paid all taxes as rtqilir.ii by law. Why no' c impel him to swear at the same time that be is not a convict and that he is not an idiot and uot insane ? The constitu'iou authoiiz -a the general assetnb y to provide for the registration of all the voters of the state, but, it gives no warrant, as I understand it, to impose burdens on the electors of Floyd County not imposed on the voters of other 0 nn'ies. But granting that such an act wou'd not contravene the cotts'i tition of the state, w mid it not in rfif -ot be a challenge of the right of every cit s n of F'oyd county to exercise the right (J suffrage—‘the right of suffrage”—and would it not also make every sensitive voter’s ears tin'le ano cheeks burn when he thought that his right to vote was questioned bv the general assembly, aud would not. many good men abstain from registering? It seems to me that the effect of the bill would be to give elections into the bands of such as do not have any regard for the sanctity of an oath. A conscientious man ■wears as seldom as p-ssible, and would ra-her give up bis right to vote than to make wholesale declarations of his ricti tude and call upon the Almighty to at test the truth of his oath. I care n >t how the ballotbox is hedged ■b->nr with safeguards, but I do protest against the passage of a law that ques tions the right of every citisen of Fioyd county to vote under the general law of the land. R. R Babbis. IN A NUTSHELL. The National Paint, Oil and Varnish Association, is in session at Pittsburg. The annual convention of Pennsylva nia woman suffragists is being held at Philadelphia. The committee appointed to conduct the proseculion of John Y. McKane has issued an appeal to the people for contri butions to conduct the suit. S. H. Hart, president, anl F. S. Dins more, cashier of the Buckeye'State bank, of Tacoma, Wash., have disappeared. There is shortage of $39,000. Mrs. Halliday, the alleged murderess of her husband and two women in New York, set fire to her cell and a destruc tive fire was narrowly averted. The marriage engagement is announ ced of Captain John Shiffner, of the Roval Artillery of London, and Miss El sie Burrows, a dhught'-r of Mr. Ogden H. Burrows, of Newport, R. I. John Y. McKane, of Gravesend, has brought suit against the New York World for SIOO,OOO damages on account of certain publications about his conduct in the recent election in New York. The University of Pennsylvania re ceived a large share of awards at the Columbian exposition, no less than ten prizes having been accorded to the dif ferent departments which were repre sented.
