JARED IRWIN WHITAKER,
proprietor.
ATLANTA, GEORGIA
Friday Morning, April 0, 1887.
From the Pensacola Observer, 30th.
Hou, H. S. Mallory on the Sltuatlon-Tlio
Colored People Aroused.
Pursuant to a call in our issue of the 28lli, n
largo concourse ot white and colored citizens as
sembled in the Public Square at an early hour in
tho evening. Tho meeting was organised, ami
presided over by Hon. Charles H. Gingles.
We will not attempt to give a detailed account
ot the speeches, all of which tended to the same
point, to impress the colored people with the in
jury which they were doing themselves in sepa
rating themselves from the old citizens by their
secret political organisations. By a couple of
evil-disposed, designing persons, in our commu
nity, they were led to believo that their rights
would not be conceded to them by Southern men,
and that it was necessary for them to form leagues
and take oaths of secrecy and elect one of them.
This meeting hnd the effect of disuading their
minds on that subject, and so thoroughly expo
sing the contemptible objects ol their white lead
ers, who live In tho community by the money
they can borrow, or otherwise obtain from them,
that they left with their eyes opened, discussing
aavong Uicmseivca tiie mnhfm remarks which
tell upon their ears.
Mr. Mallory being loudly and repeatedly call
ed upon, mounted the stand and earnestly ad
dressed the meeting. He briefly adverted to our
Sytle, and her prostrate condition, under the re
cent legislation of Congress, and counseled sub
mission in good faith. There is no degradation
m the submission of a gallant people when fur
ther resistance wiuld be madness. At tho South
where negroes constitute, and especially in Flori
da, where they w,Ul. for yet a long poriod, con
stitute nearly a moiety of our population, the
ballot, qualified or otherwise, was a natural con
sequence of their enfranchisement—a result
which would not follow their freedom in the
Northern States, where, in point of numbers,
tlioy were unimportant. As the negro was now
entitled to vote, it was to the interest of the
Slate that he should bo educated and enlight
ened, and mado to comprehend the price
less value of the ballot, and the great importance
to himself and the State of its judiciqua use.
The prosperity of the State mnst depend upon
tho virtue and intelligence of her people, and no
wise man will hesitate to do all in his power lo
elevate and improve the character and condition
of the colored race, between whom and the
Southern people an indestructible bond of sym
pathy, based upon a thousand happy memories,
exists. Let us fully and frankly acknowledge,
us well by deeds as by words, their equality with
us, before the law, and regard it as no less just
to ourselves and them tlinu to our State and her
■ best interest, to aid in their education, elevation,
■ and enjoyment of all the rights which iollow
B8 their new condition.
He then earnestly addressed the colored people
present, pointing out to them that henceforth
they and the white man must tread the same on
ward path, and their political and industrial in
terests inseparably blended.
He counseled them against secret political so
cieties, and their organization for party purposes
upon the basis of race or color, as destructive of
the interests alike of black and white; while
they were met and treated in a spirit of manly
frankness hy their old masters, and by tho South
ern people generally, such societies were only
organized by designing men to abuse their con
fidence for selfish ends.
He odvised them to seek the best advice they
could as to the questions at issue and the merits
of candidates, and to cast thoir ballots accord
ingly. Referring to their late condition, he point
ed out to them that with their lilierty they as
sumed the responsibility of supporting themselves
and families, educating their children, and of
accumulating for old age, by honest industry;
and that now. whnn tho “nlfl nlnntnlmn"

VOL. XIII.
ATLANTA. GA„ FRIDAY. APRIL' A 1867.
From tho Brooklyn Engle.
Coi-ry O’Lnnus on tho Father or HU
Country,
I have just got over celebrating Washington's
birthday.
It lie had lived till yesterday he would luivo
been a hundred and thirty-five years old.
Just think of that.
It is about tho age of the oldest inhabitant.
Washington Was a great man.
Ho was first in war, first in pence, and first iii
the hearts of his'country men, and belonged to
one of the first families of Virginia.
He was likewise tho Father of his Country.
If lie was alive now I don't think lie would
feel_proud of Ids offspring.
Untied to resido up to this
Had ho still conti
time at Mount Vernon he would not be" eligible
to a scat in Congress.
That lovely patriot, Thai). Stevens, would
consign him to martini law and disfranchise
ment.
The soil on which he was horn, and on which
his bones rest, is no longer of the land, of tho
free, but crushed and tlismumhniwl ■ Virginia
and that now, when the “old plantation," its
smoke house and crib were no longer a happy
refuge, industry and an honest effort to show
themselves worthy to be called freemen, were
expected of them by every friend they had,
North or South.
The next speaker was J. D. Wolfe, Esq., who
had served through the war in the Federal army
and was an officer in a negro regiment. He de
picted to them in forcible terms, tho dangers of
arraying themselves as a class for any man, or
upon any issue, and reasoned with them upon
the good which must result to them by their
adopting a course which would identify them
with the community in which they resided.—
This, he said, could only be effected by free and
open intercourse, by consultation upon tho lead
ing questions of the day, aud as to tho fitness of
the candidates who were soliciting their suffrage.
Mr. Wolfe was followed by Hays Satterwhilo,
a venerable old colored mau, who, as he said,
came here from old Virginia in 1827. Ho said
lie was proud of Florida, and proud of tho many
white folks and gentlemen of standing whom lie
knew at Tallahassee, and other parts; that wheth
er as a slave or freeman he had always been
treated well, and that lie did not wont his color
ed brethren to do anything which would destroy
“he friendly relations which had always existed.
Ie told them he did not want to see them form
eparatc societies, that they should consult the
riffle folks aud look upon them a friends; that
lev must not run into dark holes and corners
nd take the advice of those they knew nothing
bout, aud if they wanted to get along well—
khey must come out of the shade, come out in
pure air, before the light of heaven, and be
jjen before God, exorcise the Judgment He
"Jiero, and be no slaves as before; that day
ttsi and gone—tho light of freedom shines
he same on the black man as on the white man
that it was tho white man's interest to protect
he black man, and the black man's interest to
mke friends of tho white man, aud vote for the
eat mau." Ho concluded his speech amid
houtsot applause.
Upon motion of Mr. Anderson, the meeting
as adjourned to convene on Saturday night.
wears more galling chains than those which fell
from her limbs when the last foreign foe yielded
at Yorktown.
Pennsylvania, where rebellion first disturbed
tiie peace ot the Young Republic, lias spawned
forth an arch malignant, a lineal descendant of
the whisky rioters whom AVnshiugton crushed,
to riot in the degradation of the Stnte ennobled
as the birth-place of Washington.
Of course you linve heard of the little dog and
the dead lion.
Wlmt are the glories of the past compared with
the glories of the present ?
Or the great men of tho. Revolution, since
greater havo arisen who know so much more
about government and the fundamental princi
ples of republicanism.
If Washington lived in this generation, ho
couldn’t have been a great man.
One ot the earliest traits of his character was
his inability to tell a lie.
That nlone would have ruined his political
prospects.
As a general, he wouldn't have done cither.
lie never expressed an intention of fighting it
out all the summer on any particular line.
Then we don’t hear of anybody making for
tunes by army contracts for beef and shoddy in
liis day.
A republican administration never could havo
tolerated such a commander-in-chief.
Then his farewell address would have been fa
tal to his reputation.
The principles lie enunciated would have
shocked the It^jcal press, and lie would have
been denouuceWU a Copperhead.
Ho wiu open to suspicion of free trade pro
clivities uecauso he affiliated with a Boston party
who refused to pay the duty on tea.
Consequently the Tribune would havo been
down on him.
Some men are horn too soon, some too late.
Washington was born about the right time.
People didn't know so much in his day.
Or, at least, they didn’t send such wise men to
Congress.
People were satisfied witli the tho Union under
the Constitution then, entertaining a very fool
ish repect for the Constitution without the
amendments.

There are several anecdotes of Washington
extant.
One ol which is about a British sentinel who
was on picket duty one night when he saw a
mau—a tall man—ride by. This British senti
nel, who was strictly loyal to his Government,
thought he would shoot the tall man. As the
idea occurred to him, ho raised his gun to carry
it out. Just before he pulled the trigger the
British sentinel altered his mind and didn’t
shoot,
The tall man who wasn’t shot was Washing
ton.
He never knew it until somebody told him of
it afterwards.
Such was tho greatness of his mind.
There is one other anecdote of Washington
never before published, but was related private
ly to mo by his nurse, Joyce Hetb, when she was
in Baruum's museum.
Washington’s father made little George a
Christmas present of a nice little plum tree,
which lie had bought at a hardware store in
Richmond.
Little George, who was of an inquiring turn
of mind, wanted to find out where the plums
came from, so he took a favorite hatchet that the
hired girl used to chop kindling wood with, and
chopped up the tree.
It took the edge off the hatchet ami hacked it
like a buck saw, so that it wouldn’t split fine
kindling wood.
“ Who lias done this?" said old Mr. Washing
ton, looking around fora hickory switch to warm
his offspring.
“Father, said Georgy,with the presence of
mind of future greatness, " I’m the boy who dis
sected that specimen of horticulture."
“ Come to my arms, my son,” said the old gen
tleman.

He plows three incites deep, lest he should
urn up the poison, that, in his estimation, lies

There is only one parallel in American his
tory to this touching story of attachment to
veracity.
When Colonel Billy Wilson’s Zouaves, of pre
datory notoriety, were encamped on Staten Is
land in 1851, some benevolent persons in New
York took up a collection lo supply the lambs
with hymn books and chewing tobacco.
The committee, with the funds, went down to
Staten Island, passed through tiie camp, in
spected the lambs in tbeir tents, and finally came
to Colonel Billy’s headquarters. Tiie chairman
made a neat speech, then putting his hand in his
pocket, discovered that tho money was gone.
"I had it," said he, “when I reached tiie camp.”
Says Colonel Billy, “I guess it’s all right; some
of the boys have got it. Adjutant, just inquire
who’s lilted the swag from the old duffer in
spectacles.”
Adjutant went out to investigate, and returned
with a report that Company Q said they had re
lieved tiie old gentleman ot the money for tear

That cry of “no law” was the breath that

with emotion, “the nobility of the lambs, they
may steal, but they won’t lie.”
Truth is an exalting virtue which A merican
youth with such illustrious examples before
them ought to cultivate as one of the necessaries
ol life.
Mrs. O'Lauus 1ms impressed this noble precept
upon our Themistocles.
When she accuses him of a broken window,
sticking pins wrong way up in the chair cush
ions, or other peccadillos, she tells him to own
up, and then she will not lick him, but if he de
nies it he will be whipped additional for telling a
story.
I don’t think liis interpretation ot the precept
or appreciation of the inducement of leniency is
altogether clear.
For instance, he frankly owned up when ac
cused of breaking the nose of his mother’s fa
vorite pitcher, when subsequently Eliza Jane
confessed that she did it.
When called upon for an explanation, Master
Themistocles fell back upon his mother’s assu
rance that she wouldn't lick him when he owned
up.

A Sad Surprise.—One night last week a
currier in Danvers, Massachusetts, hud a lot of
skins stolen from his premises. Knowing that
the thief would try to dispose of them, lie se
cured the services of an officer and visited the
neighboring towns, without obtaining any clue
to tiie missing property. Finally they visited
Essex, and, upon making inquiry at a store, were
informed that a man with a sleigh had just
stopped there and offered some skins for sale.
They immediately drove on and soon overtook
the party, whose face was so muffled up with a
tijypet that lie could not be readily recognized.
The officer questioned him, and was satisfied by
liis ap)>carance and actions that lie was the per-
sou they were alter, and arrested him on the
sjKit. Imagine the consternation of the owner
ol the stolen property when he recognized the
thief to be liis own son, whom he had not seen
f >r two years. The meeting was a painful one
to both parties, but the ieclings of the lather pre
dominated, aud he took the offender in his own
sleigh, placing the officer in charge of the other,
and set out on their homeward trip.—Bouton
