I say little follows l.o- efcuso nothing lias boon published from them vet that takes a eompre* lirnsirr view oftiio matter, aims at a single live issue involved, or aloes anything but vituperate, assert abuse without proof and parade those pas sions sml prejmliees that are the last barbarie relies of the late war. It is a little singular that these extraordi narily wise and Solomon scribblers have been so inconsistent ami simple as to make charges with no proof to sustain them, hut a mere guess or surmise of their own. They forget that llie people of (Georgia will not allow her great sons ami statesmen injured l.y anonymous writers, who have not even the fairness to sign their proper signatures to the articles of impeachment that they prefer. It is charged that there was a bar- ;ain between the three parties named, la'aving (iov. Colquitt and ltrowu nit of the controversy for the pres- 'id, who is there in tieorgia that would believe that the noble, proud, chivalric, brave and battle-scarred Gordon wonl.l enter into any cor rupt bargain with any set of men to obtain the highest position that this country affords, private or public? Gordon lias been faithful to every trust—on the battlc-ticl.l when cour ageous patriotism walked with death, and in the Senate Halls, where even the extremists of the opposition par ty acknowledge him pure, spotless and trtte. He says lie was no party to any trade. Who doubts him for a moment when lie makes a positive assertion? None that know him or ever heard his old veteran soldiers talk of him. What act has be com mitted in all liis useful life that in tlie least deviates from rectitude, or that would suggest a suspicion even against bis veracity ? No man has or can authenticate a single one. But it is charged that because be has resign ed liis Senatorial office he must have made some corrupt bargain. Gentle men who made this assertion are mis anthropical ill their views and un derestimate human nature. Is it t that Georgia lias sunk so low that even her noblest son cannot retiri from office except upon some corrupt trade; except he be 1-ought to sur render it? Is it true that Georgia lia- sunk so low that the fact that tier no blest sou lias resigned all office to be even presumptive evidence of cor ruption and trailing? Is it true that those we concede to he our best men have sunk so low that they measure the moral merit of evert thing by their own interest in it ami stop at nothing until their own personal tcrest in it has ended ? I do not be lieve it, and cannot believe it after the emphatic denial by all panic concerned. I believe that Georgia has patriots; patriots that stood l.y her in tier darke-t hour of need, that evidenced their devotion and Iov her on the field of battle and ill her struggles in those trying limes after the smoke of battle had cleared away and the hell-hounds anil plunderer appeared upon the scene and made patriotic words dangerous to their speaker. Gordon and Colquitt w among these patriots and ill the front when it was most dangerous to I there. But it is said that Gordon lur betrayed bis people because lie signed liis office. He has been in the service of the people in war nnd peace since he was twenty-eight years of age, and his ilevoti them has been unselfish. Will he not now lie allowed to devote his talent to the improvement of his private fortune, that is known to he hilt paltry sum? But it is charged that lie resigned to obtain a larger salary in some department of private life Well, why not? Has he not served his country sufficiently to he permit ted to serve himselt ami family a lit tie? Must he he kept in an office, the alary of which barely sustains him ii the dignity that the office require ->f him, while the fact is staring him in the face that if he should to take from liis family it would he left un provided for? There cnti be but one sensible answer. All that I have said concerning Gen. Gordon in relation to this trade applies to Gov. Colquitt anil Joe Brown. They all deny the charges in no uncertain words, and there no proof against them. Colquitt ouhl not possibly derive any bc-nclil from it in any way, shape, manner or form, unless Joe Brown had actually paid him money. I have yet to he any one, even Gov. Colquitt's hitter est enemies, make any such eharg Their chief cry lias been that lie is .Sunday school man, too much chris- t tin to fill the office of Governor. We have progressed* wonderfully in I hits decade We have gotten to where lie: simple furl of active and devoted Christianity i- a disqualifica tion for office. Give us more Col quitt's, more noble, pious ami Chris tian men in all branches of our Gov- ernmenl and we will he nearer that political purity left us hy our fore- lathers than we arc likely In heugaiu in man) years, unless Ibis l.ow l of aldi-C'liresl shall cease. C-dquill is the first man in Georgia against limn the fart of “Christian ami Sun- lay school" activity was ever urged a reason why lie should ml till an office. This very fact shows to wlial stress his enemies are driven in or- r to find ehargys against him. lie indicted lor those virtues we leach our rhildrrn are essential, found gnil- aml a sentence of dis.pialilicalioo hold office pronounced against him. Consistency, beautiful in the xtreme. But it is said he has he aved the people because he appoiut- d Joe Brow n. I am no Brown man, and ran see none of that grandeur about him that some of his ardent admirers claim for him, vet I do say this: If the Democratic party is right now. Joe Brown has been politically ght all the time. He advised iis to eepl the amendments lo the Consti tution of the I’liilcd States and the situation generally, hut we would not do so. We fought the amend ments all the way through and ns|ra- sed, ves, soriallv ostracised, those ho wished to accept them, so hitter ere we against them. Our plat forms were full of these nuti-ameml- ment planks and we waged several political battles witli them as the main issue, tint we failed to gain any thing hv fighting them, because tiie csiills of the war made them accom plished facts. Compare the Demo- ratic platforms of those days with the subsequent ones and wo will find that our position is reversed and lliat Joe Brown is consistent, and the same from beginning to end. We have liken Joe Brown's platform and adopted it as our own, ami with some effrontry say that Joe Brown lias come back into the party. The truth about the matter is, that the parly has gone to him. We have gotten upon his platform, and after getting firmly seated there we attempt to ap propriate it entirely anil kick him off. If we have boarded liis boat is there anything very wrong in allow ing him to pilot it a little? There is a'nothcr view about the matter. Ever since we failed to ac- vinplish anything by making war on tiie proposed amendments wc been endeavoring to convince the north that we are in good faith pting them and tiie results of Hie war. It seems to be the chief objcel of the Democracy of the South lo convifice the North Hint we accept the situation honestly and sincerely. If the party is honest in Hint regard, and I think it is, why shouldn't Joe trown, the original acceptor of the situation, he ns good n man to repre sent Hint policy as any one else? II the party is both sincere ami consist ent, why isn't he the very best repre sentative of that policy it could find? I’crlmps Governor Colquitt look this view of the matter. He could very easily have done so and not been wide of the mark. Then why cen sure him so much ? To evidence a of conciliation didn't we vole for Horace Greely? Didn't we pass through the big house ami go ilitu the kitchen and b: ing out Hie black t liadi.-al cook and vole for him n lien lie was greased all over witli piildiennism and abolitionism ? ['lien should our stomachs get s< liralr all on a sudden and heave al e Brown? Eel's wait and see il iv. Colquitt has made a mistake Eel's see what Joe Brown will do he fore we condemn him. We confess now that he was right long helor. [•re, and doubtless he will carry that same foresight, and energy inti the Senate lliat has heretofore cliar- iscd him. I wisli il disliiirlh understood licit I am no Joe Brown man; hut I do think that we wrong in abusing Colquitt for ap pointing him. We ran say with cer tainly that he could have appointed a more popular man, hut beyond thi we cannot go.

Dr. Tucker’s Candidate. Dr. Tucker, the able editor of the Christian Index, gives Ids position on politics as follows: A few weeks ago a clipping from [mother paper appeared in our col- iiiiis which has been construed to mean that the Index intends to give influence in favor of one of tlic audidalcH for the office of Governor of Georgia. We art greatly surpris ed al this ; wc had no such intention and no such thought; and we now write these lines to neutralize and counteract the supposed eli'oct of the article in question. We have no can didate for any office; we stand aloof rom all such things; we have never written and will never write one line in the interest of any aspirant lor po litical honor-. As to “claims," it is our opinion that no man has any taims. Offices were Not made that men might he honored, but that the people tnigli* bo served. Tlic people may have claims on certain men, and may assert those claims when they please, but no man has “claims” on tlic people. oil: 1’LATFOltM. While the Index has no politics amt will never have, nml will never take part in the partisan strifes which lire loiugso lunch to demoralize our peo ple and sap the foundations of our overnment, it will never hesitate to teach the duties ol good citizenship. Il will steadily advocate peace, truth, honesty, fairness nnd integrity. One f its maxims is: That no man who is personally rorrnpt can he politieal- ly pure; and that no mail who i* rossly immoral ought over to been- rusted with the management of pub lic nlfnirs. It is time Hint the C'hris- inn people of the country should make themselves felt as such al tlic polls, by withholdingiiig their suf frages from had men under any nml all cireiimslaiiros. If this should lead the defeat of the parly, so mueh the better. The defeated party on next nrrasion will nominate lill'erenl kind of Ilian, and l.olli par- will he led to pay respert to the moral sentiment of the country.

Imm nut avion, volt tiie State of (■ Emi ts, 77 East IOtii St., New Y.>ick, May 10,1880.—Kililur Mnrniinj Xeiiv: III the News of May 17th I timl the following statement: Five thousand immigrau’s in twenty-four hours al New A'ork in dicates the unprecedented volume of Hie current exodus from Kqropr to the United States. 'The magnitude of this transoceanic movpmeut of pop ulation is c-pccially reuiarkahle in iewofthe fad that it isnlmn.-t alto gether made up of individuals and families of small parties, acting inde pendently and without concern, ratli- r than ol organized mlnnics.” You are certainly in error. Su perintendent Jncksmi, of Castle Gar b'll, who knows more about it than any one else, in an interview pub lished in tlic New York Tribune, uses he following language: 'The striking diameter of those arriving is the large proportion of ardy young people, many of them Scandinavians, who come here de rm ini'll hy hard work lo establish new and prosperous homes in Amrr- i. They belong ehiellv to the ag- ulturnl classes. Each day wilne-s- the arrival of young men and wo men whose npiHiivraiicc denotes lliat they are removed considerably above the common laboring classes. There also a large proportion of skilled artisans from the German States. A ratifying fad concerning the imini- rants now coming in is Hint they ave fully informed themselves as to the resources of Hie country before nring passage, and as a proof of this fully sixty per cent, of those com- liave purchase.I through tirkcls to such parts of the West as they in tend to settle in. A large uitiiihcr lonic here with sufficient capital tn purchase, or partly purchase parcels of land. Fur instance, the other day letter was received from a banker in Hamburg, stating Hint seven per sons had started for the United .States. Tlic one having the most money had $1,750. amt the one Hie least *1,250— in all *17,000. These people go West ‘mmcdiatcly after their arrival and liny land. Very few go South.— Those that go South generally go to Texas. Despite all tlic efforts made bv tlic Southern colonization boards, European immigrants seem to be ad verse to going South. It may bv .-aid that none of tlic immigrants care to settle in the Southern States, or to make any inquiries about them. Im migrants are being ollcred every in duceiiicnt to go to Georgia, nnd to locate colonics on tlic Savannah, Flor ida anil Western BaiJroa.l. Lund is offered at low price and on easy terms, and reduced transportation, but they do not take to Hie bait. A large majority of the immigrants have sold their homes in Europe, and have come here witli Hie money to seek permanent and fixed homes for life. If wc should have an immigration this year amounting to three hundred thousand, this would bring eighteen million dollars into the country to put in circulation and remain here." Mr. Jackson has omitted one im portant advantage, viz: 'These immi- rants me almost universally young men and women, alt of whom hare been educated al the expense of other countries. Mr. Jackson lias informed ■lie that it xvill be useless to file an application at Castle Garden, when over fortv-six thousand immigrants lauded last month, for twenty white females tn act as house servants for twenty families of Borne, Ga., who offered lo pay transportation expen ses and good wages, stating Hint tlic demand for such “help" far exceeded Hie supply. Until tieorgia makes a uital.ic appropriation to enable the Commissioner to art independently ol Castle Garden and benevolent so cieties, nml to pay mi agent orageuts abroad, nnd put into their hand printed pamphlets and circulars in the language of Hie people, so tlial they may liny through tickets toGcor- ia, much cannot lie expected. I have never found hut oi:e man at Castle Garden who knew there was a State called Georgia, and lie express ed Hie opinion that it was in South America. Texas is favored lMM-mise Texas is known through liberally paid agents in Europe. Respectfully, Francis Foxtaink. Whipping Children A parent who don’t know how to govern a child without whipping it. ought to surrender the care of tlial litld to some wiser person. Sports men once thought it necessary to lash their dogs, in training them for the field. They know now lliat the whip should never he used. Horsemen once thought il necessary to whip :oits to tench them to start or stop al the word, ami to pull steadily. They know now that an apple is better than tiie lash, mid that a caress is better than a blow. If dogs and horses ran lie thus educated without punishment what is there in our children which makes it necessary to slap and pound them? Have they less intelligence? Have they colder hearts? Are they lower in tlic scale of being? We have heard many old people say: •If wc were to" bring up aunt her rliild, wc would never whip it."— They arc wise, bul a little too laic.— Instead of God doing so little for liihlren that they must lie whipped into goodness, Ini lias done so much for them tliat.cvcu whipping ran'l ruin them—that is, as a rule. But. Alas! there are many exceptions to this rule. Many children are of Mich piaiitv that a blow makes llicni cow ardly, or reckless, or deceitful, or permanently ugly. Whipping makes children lie. Whipping makes them hate their parents. Whipping make home distasteful—makes the hoys run away, and makes the girls seek hap pincss anywhere nnd anyhow. Whip ping is barbarous. Don't whip.
