I It appears to bs settled that Greece has I agreed to disarm and, that too, without any assurance Iroin the powers that they I will force Turkey to transfer to her the j territory which the Berlin treaty gives ! her. There may be somo sort of secret j understanding by which Greece's claims arc to be satisfied, but if 1 here is no inti | mation of it has been made public, j Altm u:h Greece did not take an active j part in the Eastern conflict oi 1877, she j was admitted to the Berliu Congress, li j seems that England thought that it would ! lie wise to have her admitted. It is true, that when she found that in the treaty ot >mi Stetano, which the Russians had dic tated at the gaics of Constantinople, her ow n claims were ignored, she sent an ex pedition across the Turkish border, li was, perhaps, the very gentle renum -'ranee against this expedition, uttered k/both England and France, that se ureil ta* her the attention ol the Berlin Con gsess to her claims. The boundary which that Congress drew between Turkey and Greece in creased Greece's lerritory very consider ably, and gave her about 500,0011 more in hahi'ants. Unfortunately for Greece tin 1 ouodary was made to depend upon tb* acceptance ot it by both of the interest'd parties. Oi course Turkey didnotaccepl it, and ihe powers did not undertake D make her accept It. They urged her, ol course, but 6he responded with words no', with acts. The powers concluded, at the urgent re<|U< sr of Greece, to have a conferenc aboiit the matter. This conference, which took place at Berlin in 1880, drew another boundary line, which Turkey declined to accept. It was, in her opinion, alto gether too tavorable to Greece. Greece was determined tba' the powers should give her what the Berlin Congress -aid she should have, and kept Eurnp* ■ gua ed by her threats ami preparation or w ar. Bismarck stepped to the from and called another conference at Berlin, which decided upon still another bound ary line. This line was lar irnm being as favorable to Greece as the two forme lines had been. It gavp her a little o' Epirus and a part of Thessaly, but let w tuin the jurisdiction of Turkey e great deal of territory coveted If Greece and inhabited by Greeks. Tin territory she got, and which sheaccepten under protest, contained about 3fh,(ioo in habitants. and was equal to about one ourtb of the territory she already had. it is probable, however, that she wil never be satistp and until she geis wbat thi Berlin Congress of 1878 agreed she wa iustiv entill-d to. She may he coerced into disarming now. but the history of the ast few years shows that sbe cannot be coerced into permanent silence. It would not t*c surprising it she should renew hei demands at a time when tne attitude oi 'he powers towards each other is suci hat it will hardly be possible lor them t< unite, as they are now united, in forcing ner to keep the peace The southern Baptists. The thirty-first session of ibe Southern Kapiist Convention will meet in Mom gomery. Ala ,on May 7. Tuis con ventioi wasorganizui at Augusta in this State, in 1855. and has numbered amongst it officei sand representative members many of the most eminent divines this country ever produced. When it is remembered that there are over 2U00.000 of Baptist people in tb -mithern ''lilies, the poser and influenc of this gre’ denomination of Christian will be to some extent appreciated, Its tiisti rians have trac-d its origin hack through the dark ages to apostolic day-, and the ze .1 ami laithfulne.s of its adher ents have been conspicuous in all psrls o the w irld wnere its missionaries have carried the Gospel oi Peace. TueSou'bern Itap'ist Convention Is no an eccles astical body, but a renresetita tive missionary congress. It does Its ex ecutive business through two hoards—the Foreign Mission Board, wuich is In. cateii at Richmond, and toe Home Mission B lard, at Atlanta. The former received from contribu tions last year $Bl 289 59, and ba missions in Europe, Ada, Africa and in some of the countries of North and S.iuth America. Tne latter, last year received $71,431 t}B, and its work is devoted to ibe evangelization of the spiritually destitute of all colors in our own country, its principal fields ot i ff >rt are in the Indian Territory, Arkansas, Louisiana, Texas, and Florida. Ileing free from vexed questions of doc trine and discipline the sessions ot the oonvent'on ar * invariably harmonious and edifying in a high degree, .An Appreciated Compliment. Tl-e Atlanta Constitution speaks of tbe Mokni.no News as “our virtuous con temporary.” It our esteemed contemporary means to he complimentary, the Mokning News appreciates the compliment, it is sonn unitto te proud of to be referred to a virtuous in these times when the charge is so frequently made that opinions of newspapers can be purchased bv whoever chosestopay the price demanded for them, and that their columna are used for the I advancement of corrupt pnliticul and j iitisinees schemes. No fact is better known to its cont< mporsries than that | the Mokning News appeals to the puh | Hu for support with clean hands. No bribe has ever Influenced Its course, and no money has ever found its wav, illegu ! tlmatety, into Its nurse. Ilone-t in act and intention it hopes to have the appro val of right-thinking p topic. II <>ur esteemed contemporary speaks of the Moiining N kwh as ••virtuous” (ortho purpose only of deriding virtue,the Morn ing News is sincerely sorry for its moral condition. A newspaper which aims to lead publio sentiment | must believe that there is good I in the world if It expects to do good. We are inclined to believe, however, that ibe J Constitution recognizing the 'ant that the ' 1 Integrity of the Morning Newh Is so | ina- ked ss to be worthy of notice gener -1 OUslv took occasion to sav so, j A Woman's League in Ft Htnn has ad dressed a memorial to the President pro testing against tlio purchase by Mias Folsom of Kuropeaii goods for her wed ding tlxlo’s.

MAY 3, 1836.—TWELVE PAGES. Relics of the Mound Builders. Never before in the hts'orv of America, probably, have so many relics of the race or races which inhabited this cent nent in past ages neon brought UJ light, within a limited space of time as during the last few weeks. Many monuments of the ancient Americans, if they may be so tie. nominated, have recently been invaded by the elements or the nands of men, and tbeir contents laid uare. Reports of the discovery of human re mains, ornaments and implements of stone anil pottery, have come Iroin North Georgia, North Alabama, Tennessee. Maryland. Massachusetts and Illinois. These discoveries will furnish much ma tenal for the use of archaeologists, though the value of this material can only be de term lied alter careful examination and borough study. In most insiances the bones and other relics have been found In mounds upon which grew gigantic trees, showing tbn tbe-e rude but enduring raonumen's must have stood the abrasions ol time and the elements for centuries. In some instances the dead appeared to have been buried with their personal effects orsym b >lic treasures witn some kind of otdei orcerornouy. In others there are evi dencesof violence, which go to show that the burial mounds marked the scenes o( battle or of wholesale murder. The peculiarities of the remains and relics discovered in different localities tn dica'e that they must have belonged to different races, or different types of r common race, though th-se may not have been coexistent, but may have lived cen turies apart. The museums and literature ol Ameri can antiquties are already rich and ex tensive, but the history of the vanished races is lost, and about all that the irchieoiogisis can hope to accomplish is to arrive at the approximate dates of their •xlstence, and to formulate plau'ibl t leories as to some of their distinguish .ng features and peculiar customs. Protect the Birds. There are laws for the protection of birds in almost every State of the Union. In most of the Staies, however, these laws are very defective, and in no State, proba dy, are they enforced, except so far as h c y relate to certain kinds ot game b;rds. Generally the birds that unsportsmanlike hunters want are the ones that should be rigidly protected, and those species ot birds that are injurious to man are allow d to multiply. Much bas been said and written about die enormous destruction of insectiverous and song birds in older to secure Ibeir plumage tor the use <d the milliners, and pub ic sentiment is apparently neginning to turn against the fashion that demands this cruel and inexcusable sacrifice. This sentiment ought to lie encouraged until it becomes more powerful than the laws seem to be. There are very many people now who regard tae wearing ol a bird or nament as an evidence of great heartless ness or thoughtlessness, and it is prob able that tne example set by the ladies ol England in forming societies <o discour age the fasbiou of wearing bird plumage or. hats and bonnets, wiil be followed in nany cities of th s country. Our song birds n ed especial protection, not only Irom the bird slayers, but from juveniles wno rob the nests and destroy iHe eggs or sell both eggs and young to toe bird fanciers. Tuere is ground lor ap prehension lest som -of the most valuable speces will become extinct, in the near uture, lot it is a well known Tact that oui native song birds will very rarely breed id captivity.

Tbeirpiay ing is a veritaole comedy ol error-, and it looks as if it would he a long time before they ge’ an dher inning. Great is tbe na liou, and great is tbe uational game. if the exhibitions of tbe honor and at leotlons ol the Southern people for ex i’resident Davis which are now being made bad been made eight years ago, tbe Northern hloody-sbirt shrit kers would have been calling tbe country to arms. Now the gieal body ot tbe Northern peo ple appeal to look upon these demonstra tions with equanimity, if not with admira iion. Kvt-n tbe billertst Kadii-a! sheets fail to raise a bowl, and only sneer at pa triotic seulituciiiß winch they cannot ap preciate, and the regatd (or the heroes of tbe Lost Cause, and tue motives of its de lenders, that they cannot undeistaml. Mutual Iraiisness, respi cl and confidence between the sections will, indeed, make the uuion perpetual. it is said lhat Congressman Willis, ol Kentucky, has enlisted in earnest in the herculean task of explaining his position on Mis.
