leading promoter of Mr. Hayes’nom

associate in the same relation. The

Want of Patronuge.
Under this caption the Atlanta
Tribune announces Its own suspen
sion in those’wonls:
After u patient if not a brave strug
gle for a position in the journalistic
world, the Tribune is this mo ning
forced to join the long procession of
Atlanta’s dead newspapers. The
management of the Tribune brought
to the fight experience, prtidcuec ami
economy, ami yet Ihev are compelled
to accept the fate that seems to await
all who endeavor to establish another
paper in Atlanta. Tne effort was,
Vfc regret to say. a thorough one.—
The evening Tribune was succeeded
l»y the morning Tribune, and both
tave gone to the wall for the want of
support.
I XVe did not squander money in
“grand journalistic enterpriseswe
sought rather to will success by sen
sible, prudent methods. XX’e gather-
oil the news faithfully, and practiced
every possible eronomv in order tlmt
t?c might furnish a paper within the
means of the poorest citizen. The
effort lias resulted in the reversal of
our fondest hopes.
The truth is there is not room
enough in Atlanta for two papers.—
All the patronage that. Atlanta pos
sesses is needed to sustain sm-li a pa
per as the city should have. Ilow
near our 'successful contemporary
comes to the standard we do not care
to say. XVe only desire to say out of
our experience, there is not a city of
Atlanta’s size in America tlmt furnish
es less advertising patronage. Its mer
chants are enterprising and prosper
ous, hut they use drummers instead
of newspaper influence. XX'c have no
disposition to scold anybody this
morning, and are satisfied with the
effort wc have nmde. XX’c have dis-
covered the difference between the
promises and the performances of
it hose who noisily clamor for “another
paper,”
The place we have filled will lie va-
a nt after tiila nuirning,’and is open
o ail new tamers, but wc will eottn-
il any from claiming it. XVe speak
from no theoretrical standpoint, lmt
from knowledge acquired in the bus
iness.
Those that control and own tlic Tri-
bunenre unwilling tospeud inore[mon-
ev in a vain effort to coax the people
to sustain it.”
There is no little truth in the an
nouncement of our late contempora
ry ; but the situation is nevertheless
not wholly, or at least not plainly,
presented. Let us add our experi
ence to that of the Tribune for the
benefit of all concerned.
Owing to the demands of this
_roxving city, the weekly expenses of
un Atlanta morning paper are steadi
ly increasing, in spite of all judicious
efforts to the contrary. Atlanta is an
ambitious city, and her people will
not accept a second-class paper. She
wants at least as good a paper as is
published in the cotton states. XVliat
is the result ? The weekly expenses
are swelled to fully one thousand dol
lars. often exceeding that amount
with a tendency towards still higher
figures through special dispatches,
and extra editorial labor and com
position. XVhile Atlanta demands
sueixa paper,.she s not willing to ade
quately pay for it. There are no
grounds of complaint so far as circu
lation is concerned; hut, as the Tri
bune truthfully says, Atlanta is the
poorest city of its size iu America for
advertising. XX’e have no shipping,
and will have none even if the city
becomes a port of delivery; our job
bers do not seem to think their etts-
toiners eyer read an Atlanta paper,
andonr revenue from advertising is
thus almost entirely confined to the
retail trade. In brief it takes all the
revenue that tact ami enterprise can
muster in Atlanta to keep afloat such
a paper as the people of Atlanta litiv
become accustomed to nml will hcri
after demand.
A new paper should therefore he
ableto crush the existing one—to seize
its circulation and business—to, in a
word, drive it out of the field ; for
the business is ineapabla of material
division. That two papers cannot
exist, in the.long-prevailing dearth
of advertising, is shown by the roll
of papers that The Constitution ha
seen pass tnvay. The list includes th
Opinion, the New Era, (he I nielli
•jencer, the True CJeorpian, the Even
inff Express, the ffun, the Iletahl, the
News, the Courier, the Times, the
Commonwealth, the Commonwealth
Herald, and tlic Tribune—almost ex
luiusting the vocabulary of popuhir
litles. These papers represent thedif
ferenl liiie of newspaper activity, in
eluding the lavish and tlic prudent
the hold and the cautious. The //<

and con-tantlv in

profitable, if a a few car loads of girl

l.'u-sia is said to count upon litis
country for support in ease site gels
into war with England. The setni-
oflicinl Kuisian press arc already talk
ingof “American sympathy and good
will,” and hinting that this country
could, in the event of war, greatly
aid Hil da anil promote our own
commerce by permitting the Jituding
out of privateers to prov Upon British
commerce, as did England during
our late civil war. In the event of a
war, Russia will bardlv realize he
hope- in this regard. In such a
event it will he the policy of this
country to remain a neutral spectator
aid, in ils lies! days, was certainly
daring enough, and the Tribune iniis’t
Itave satisfied those who preferred
gradual and quiet effort to obtain
foothold. The plan of the Herald
managers was in truth the only one
that could succeed. They never for
one moment expected to become :
rival of the Constitution ; they intend
ed to supplant it. They saw that then
was not .chough business to suppori
two iioeeptuhlc papers; and tlic liusi
ness has greally decreased while the
running expenses have great I v in-
creased since that time. There should,
in the usual course of affairs, lie mori
advertising in Atlanta, but as lnn„
there is not, il is useless to talk about
“two papers,” unless deteriorated
sheets are meant. If Atlanta wants
the best paper in the cotton states,she
must not only get along with one, lmt
ho must support that one better than
lie has in the past. Otir readers niuv
depend upon it that the Constitution
will be kept fully up to the patrouagi
that it receives.—Atlanta Const it u

it is no surprise. Venturing journal

Ill JOSHUA Hlt.I.INUS, Ksq.
I hnv finally emu to the conclusion
Hint lager beer as a beverage is not
intoxicating.
I have been told so liy a German
ho said lie had drunk il all nite long
just to try the experiment, and was
liged to go home entirely sober in
the morning. I have seen this same
mail drink eighteen glasses, and if lie
its drunk it was in German nil no
body could niiderstniid il.
If is proper etuiII’ to slate that lids
mail kept a lager beer saloon, could
have no object in stating w hat-w as not
strictly llius.
I believe him to he the full extent
ot my ability. 1 never drank hut
hree glasses of lager in mv life, and
that made my head untwist as tlio it
is hung on tliC'Citd of a string, hut
I was tohl that it was owing to mv
bile being out of place ; and I guess
that it was so. tor I never Idled over
us Ilian I diil when I gothoni tlmt
My wife thought I was goin to
.and J was a Ira id that 1 shouldn’t
for il seemed as tho every thing I lmd
ever eaten in Illy life was routing to
till- surface; and I believe that irmy
wife hadn’t pulled oil' my hoots just
as she did, they would lmv rum Ihun-
lering up too,
O, how sick I wuz! 14 years ago
ml 1 can taste it now.
I fever bail so much experience in
short a time.
If any nmii shiul tell me that lager
beer was not intoxicating, I sliud be
lieve him ; lull if he shiul tell me that
1 wu/.n't drunk that nite but tlmt mv
tunimiek was out of order, I sliud
-k him to state ovet a few words just
how a man felt and acted when he
wuz set up.
If l warn’t drunk Hint nite. I lmd
me ov the most natural siuitiinis
hat a man ever lmd and kept sober.
In the first place it was about SO
oils from where I drank the lager
beer to mi hous, and I was jest over
two hours on the road, and a hole
busted through my pnntloou neez,atid
anil I didn’t have any lmt, and tried
10 open the door liv the hell-pull and
hiccupped awfully and saw every
thing in the room trying to git round
011 the hack side ov me and in sitting
Town on a chair, I did not wait long
■nougti for it to get exactly umler me
when 1 wuz going around, and I set
down a little too soon and missed tlic
hair about 12 inches, and couldn’t
get up soon enough to take tlic next
one that conn- along; and that ain’t
iwl; my wife sell I wuz as drunk as
beesl ami az I sed before, I began
to spin up tilings freely.
If inger beer is not intoxicating it
used me most almighty mean, that I
know.
Still I hardly think that lager beer
iz intoxicating, for I have been told
so; and T am probably the only man
living who ever drunk cny when his
liver, was not plumb.
I don’t wan't to say anything
against a harmless temperance bever
age, hut if ever I drink cny more, it
will be with my hands lied behind
and mi mouth pried open.
I don't think lager beer is intoxicat
ing, hut if I remember rite, 1 think it
tasted to me like a glass of soap suds,
that a pickle lmd been put tew soak

.'onfederate States were confronting
ach other on the St James, below
liichmoud. On a certain day a Fed
eral attack, which was thought to he
:l decoy, was made on the south side
of the river. \Vc I bought we saw ev
idences of a real attack on our side.—
Oecassiotmlly the whole picket line
would open lire. The gun boats at
Deep Bottom would send 300

n Hie rear of wlmt lmd been Libby's
sidenee. hut was then General Lee's
■adquariers. Al about 2 o’clock p.
m. the artillery opened on our left.—
\ few minutes afterward we heard
lie unmistakable roar of infantry lir-
ug. XVe then knew that the lilies of
bailie were engaged oil our left.—
The pickets opened and kept up a
ipiil firing in nnr front, Hie gun-
oals sending their infernal machines
more frequently. XVe. the Itoekhridge
battery, were ordered to dnuhlcqliiek
position on Libby's Hill. On our
way up everrlhing looked ns llioiigh
Were on the eve of a terrible con
flict—the roar of artillery ami infan
try, the rapid movement of troopi
do line, and the solemnity tlmt seem
1 lo have impregnated Hie whole at
mosphere. As we passed the Libby
house we saw Gen. Lee in the yard.—
lie was standing just under alow
. vv il It one arm extended, as if
reaching for something on Hie limb.
As we got nearer to him. we could
ee what lie was engaged in doing at
tleli a time. A little bird, whose
mother was just teaching it lo use its
wings, had in ils first effort, fallen lo
the ground. Ils dumb mother,
gardless of the death and carnage
I lmt intelligent man was dealing to
his fellow, was uttering pitiful eric?
for her fallen oil-spring. General
Lee reached down and picked up this
little creature, and when we passed,
was in the ad of placing il where it
mother could care for il.—Courier-
Journal.
Wretched XX’riters.
Napoleon I, had so Utile mastery
over liis pen llmt his letters from C
tunny to Josephine, were nt first sight
taken for rough maps of the seat of
war. Mr. Brooks, a railroad mana
ger, wrote to a nmn living on the
Central route, threatened lo prosecute
him forthwith unless he moveila barn
run upon the company's property.
The recipient did not read the letter,
for reading it was impossible, hill In

Using Newspapers its fill spa us.
One of tlic commonest incidents of
newspaper life is the receipt of com
munications urging the editor to make
attacks for which Ilie writer who
prompts them is unwilling to lie re
sponsible. XX’c are always glad lo re
stive information or statements of
fart from any authentic source, 1ml
we raimot consent to lie the instru
ment of assaults on public or private
persons to gratify the malice or hos
tility of people who shrink from the
responsibility of their own nets and
try to shelter themselves behind our
columns. Every nmii who is public
ly attacked Ims it righl to know who
are his accusers. XVhen facts are pri
vately submitted to us in the expecta
tion that we. will employ our own
judgment ns to the use to lie made of
them, we treat them as matters of
confidence, nml would never think of
exposing the writer. If we think lit
lo make them grounds of eritici.m or
assaults on individuals, the responsi
bility is entirely ours in court'of ins-
tine nml the court of public opinion.
But when, instead of communicating
facts for us to judge of and use, a
writer prepares articles fonts to pub
lish, atul expects us to make attacks
on individuals and shield him from
consequences, lie asks more than we
are willing to gran), lie.should have
courage enough to expose Ids own
name and hack up his own quarrel.—
It is cowardly to skulk behind a jour
nal uml ask ils editors to incur the
enmity of people whose conduct he
has no reason to censure.
The above wo take from the New
York Herald, and the principles laid
down for the guidance of the pres?
arc eminently correct For an editor
or proprietor of a paper to allow
himself to he used as an instrument
to attack public or private persons to
gratify the hostility or malice of some
disappointed or jealous party is low
ering lo a very low standard, the dig
nity and Hie independence of the
press.
Party uiatiguity is bad enough
when the political press give vent to
party hale and rancor; but for a pa
per of any character to take up indi
vidual quarrels, or allow one man to
strike down the character or reputa
tion of another, and to shield him, is
to become one of the attacking par
ties; and in so doing the journal or
editor allows itself or himself to he
made a dirty tool of.
Every man assailed has the right to
know liis assailant, and for the assail
ant to say—“Oh, put it in, but don’t
give my name,” declares himself a
skulking coward who desires to liid<
behind the editor. Tlic columns ot
the Recorder arc open to all legiti
mate criticism of public men and
measures, hut not for the assailing of
individuals, or individual eui-pora-
Ilions in which Hie public have no in
terest or interference. Let such things
he understood, and personal assaults
through the press will become less
frequent, and editors saved a great
deal of annoyance.—Sac. Recorder.
An Act of Kindness Itetvnrdcd.
Iu December, 1873, a young lady of
Cooperstown, Pa., met on a railroad
train a lady who was very ill. and she
kindly ministered unto Iter, taking
care of her and accompanying her to
her destination. XX’hett they parted
the sick woman offered to reward the
_ oung lady for kindness and at
tention. hut site would take nothing.
The old woman wrote down the name
and address, nodded familiarly to
her and said : “You will he paid some
day.” The young lady never saw her
chance acquaintance again, hut the
sum of $!H),000 has recently heen be
queathed to her. The old woman
had no relatives in this country, and
left all Iter money to the girl who had
befriended her.
Till'.-SOUTH’AT PARIS.
XV lmt General Young has been
Doing Since Ills Appoint
ment.
Gen. Young is spending a few
weeks al home just now, arranging
his private affairs for his dopartureto
Europe, lo represent our Southland
in the XVorlda Exposition. We met
the General the other day and had a
talk with him in regard to hia work;
lie informed us that he had travel
ed over Georgia, Florida, Mississippi,
Louisiana and Texas, visiting and
pending some little time in the prin
cipal cities of each State. There be
ing no appropriation by a single
state, considerable trouble was ex
perienced iu getting up the creditable
showing the South will have at the
Exposition. The Governors of Geor
gia and Florida evinced more inter
est in the matter than those of any
other States, and upon their own re-
-ponsibility, Itave sent many articles
to the general depot at Washington
City. Gen Young mot many parties
who were very desirous of rontribut-
ug to the collection but were prevent
'd from so doing by the stringency of
the times.
Perhaps the largest display will
come from our own State. She con
tributes bales of cotton, samples of
cotton, cotton in bolls, mineral of ev
ery kind, all kinds of distilled Bpririts,
an excellent exhibit of different n:
tire timber, corn on stalk, rice, etc.-
-X good exhibit of cotton, sugar cane,
.ugar, fruits and native timber will
come from Florida. Louisans will
send cotton, sugar and rice. Texas
contributes cotton, and South Caroli
na will send in abundance samples of
her excellent cotton and rice.
All of these articles have been for
warded to XX’ashington City, from
whence they will be immediately sent
across the ocean—with goods from
other sections of the Unite States.
Gen. Young expects to sail from
New York on or about the 20th of
April. He will be accompanied by a
