will be plenty of Administration men
there to thiow in opportune fire
brands and take the direction out of
the bainte of those who really mean
reunion and reform in the sense of
the Missouri lesolutions. But if the
Liberals who have abandoned the
fortunes of Grant, and have cut loose
from Radicalism forever, are pracli-
cal and bold, they will act vigorous'
ly, trusting the Democratic part}',
which can be relied on not to throw
itself across the pathway of a bona-
i hdc union of the opposition.
The Democratic party, as an or-
ganization, is not going to play the
! fool or the traitor either to itself or
! the Liberals. We lay down plainly
j and broadly its position, and we
know that we speak for the masses
of the Southern people and for the
leaders ol the parly everywhere.
I f the Cincinnati Co ivention is a sue*
cess—if it puts an acceptable ticket
in the field—if the great Republican
journals support that ticket—then
the Democratic party will not stand
in iis way. With endorsing—with'
out being responsible for the Cinciti'

defending them or their antecedents,

for itself, choose between-the Liber'
al candidates and the Radical can'
didates. It will preserve its own
organization in the several States. Ii
will put its nominees in the field for
Governors, Congressmen and Legis
lators. It will not embarrass the
Liberals by a coalition, nor compro
mise itself by a passivism which may
be regarded as the first step toward
dissolution. But it will hope by the
defeat of Grant, and by ihe division
of the present Senate, and by the
election of the next House of Rep
resentatives, to so enlarge and chas
ten all the elements of the opposi-

Editors Telegraph and Messenger:
Please indulge me in a few com
ments on a passage or two from the
interesting address of Hon. Jas. A.
Nisbet, published in your paper ot
the 22d inst. Those who were
present at the meeting, at which
the address was delivered, will not
ask an apoiogy from one—not an
Alumnus of the University of Geor
gia—for commenting on the address.
If others not aware of all that trails
pi red on the occasion, demand one,
let mv relation to the subject of ed
ucation in Georgia, and my inter
est in every scheme that can pro
mote it, be my apology.
From the address in question, I
quote a passage:
“The trustees of the University
have resting on them the gravest
responsibilities; the demon of politi-
C m * ’ ed by their counsels; the dark wing
ot sectatian bigotry should never

We do not believe that any Demo
crats of respectability or standing
can be found impracticable enough
to lie seduced into honestly acting
ting young men, who, but tor them,
would never be educated; they are
elevating the tone and liberalizing
the views of the great sects. The

richly deserve the fostering care of
the State. But I forbear, lest I
weary editors and readers, though
the field is inviting, and the subject
capable ot overwhelming proof This
however, is not needed; for Mr. Nis
bet wisely strikes at the root ot the
matter. Let the friends of educa
tion in Georgia rise in their might
and repeal the obnoxious clause.
Then the way is open to an educ i-
tonal system in Georgia, that shall
make fTcr foremost among the
Stales. Then may Franklin College
he endowed as a college along with
Emory, Mercer aud Oglethorpe, un
til they reach the point of highest
efficiency, and from the trustees of
all these colleges, selected under
their own laws—a University Board
may be selected with such repre
sentatives of the State in it, as good
policy may demand, and to this
Board as the Regents of the Univer
sity system—lire system embracing
all the colleges, may be assigned the
task of fixing ti e curriculum lor
them all. But I find myself in dan
ger of going into particulars upon a
system that 1 conceived of in detail
months ago, and I will cease. E-
nough, that the friends of a Univer
sity for Georgia are opening their
eyes to the real obstructions to their
plans and purposes; and if this brief
communication may lie considered
of any importance as coming from
one who partly represents an inter
est that has heretofore seemed to
antagonize their views, it may per-
“The part of the holding of a
farmer or land owner which pays

they shall thrive, aud be .-ball thrive,

Death.—Soon death will take
this chrystal cup of life and dash it
in pieces agaiust the marble of the
tomb. A few more nights and then
the night of death will put its wing
over us, aud the co >1 breezes from
the Jordan will make our sleep
sweet. A few more mornings, and
we will rise from our robes of victo
ry and coronation. Into this world
we are born, and our first utterance
is a cry; into Heayen we are born,
and our first utterance will be a
song. When the Christian expires,
men say, “close the eyes;” hut an
gels shout ‘give him a palm!’ men
say we must put him in the ground,
angels cry, ‘give him a ihront!’ On
earth it is, ‘Farewell! farewell! ‘In
Heaven it is, ‘Hail, and welcome!’
I take up the full cup of human
tears, and a ray from the throne of
God strikes it, and I read thereon,
‘Weeping may endure for a night,
but joy cometh in the morning.’

come down about sunset and sing a
melody. After singing the first
stanza they listen awhile for the an
swering sttain from oft' the water,
and continue to sing and I slen tilt
the well known vo ces come borne
over the tide?, telling that the loved
ones are almost home. How sweet
to the wearv fishermen, as the
.-hadowsgather round them, must be
the songs ol the loved ones at home,
who sing to cheer them ; and how
they strengthen and tighten the
Bonds that bind together these hum
ble dwellers by the sea! Truly, it
is among the Uwly in this world
that we find some of the most beau
tiful customs.
THE ETHICS OF DRESS.
Imprimis. The first instinct about
a new lasbion is the true one. Don’t
wait till your eye has lost its accu
racy and your judgment its edge.
Subject the thing al once to the gen
eral rule, and bow to the decision.
2d. What suits one person does
not suit another. Know thyself.
3d. Dress should supplement
good [joints and correct bad ones.
Thick and thin, long and short, are
not all to be subjected lo one Pro
crustean style.
4th. Colors should be harmonious
—should be massed—should be be
coming. Id at, many little points
or blotches of color sprinkled over a
costume, produce a disagreeably
pied and sprinkled effect, as of a
monstrous robin’s egg, or a plum
pudding. One tint should prevail,
relieved by a contrasting tint. No
amount of fashionable pres'ige can
make an unbecoming color becom
ing. ‘Nile green’ will turn some peo
ple in oranges, though twenty em
presses ordain its adoption,
5th. Lines should be continuous,
graceful, and feminine. It is better
to look like a-woman (if you happen
to be or:e) than anything else—even
a fashion-plate!
6th. Ornament mnst be subordi
nate. Nature, with all profusion,
never forgets this fundamental law.
A Western editor speaks of a co
temporary who is “sotlirtv that eve
ry time he goes up stairs there is a’
rise in real estate.”
A man who h is traveled through
New Jersey says fie found some land
there so poor that you couldn’t iaise
a disturbance on it.
A thoughtful Connecticut widow
has had a mourning ring made of
the gold fillings in her deceased hus
band’s teeth, thinking it wasteful to
let the precious metal be worn out
inposl mortem gnashing.
Wealth is desirable for what it
enables us to do or enjoy; but, it is
not desirable at the Cost of honesty
and honor and true manhood. It is
not desirable when truth ami virtue
and religion—when honorable use
fulness and happiness here, arid
eternal happi .ess hereafter—must
be sacrificed for it.
The Hinesville Gazette says : Mr. W
H. Edwards, Sr., ao obi and respected
citizen of Fattuall county, was acciJen-
faliy killed last Saturday, 23d, by a
fragment from a falling tree. He had
beeu seut to visit one of his grandchil
dren who was sick, and started alone in
his baggy, a faithful dog following him.
While attempting to pass under a burn-
iug tree near the road, the tree fell, and
a fragment struck him, causing, it is
supposed, instant death. The family
could not account for his long absence ■
and, finally, aroused by the strange ac
tions of (be dog, who would come in
whining piteously, look iuto their faces,
and then rush oot again, several of the
boys determined to follow the dog. The
dog led them straight to the scene of
the accident, where they found the old
gentleman in a half sitting posture in his
buggy, dead, the horse, broken 1 josq
