lion. .1. Proctor hiiotl, ol Ken tucky, on the Situation. We fuel in au exchange, u sjicetli liy the uIjoyc named distinguished Democratic louder, from which \i take the following extract: 1 make uo prelensioun to too oharaoloj ot a party leader, nnJ luive no aspire tions to bo oonaiderotl iw an architect of public aculiinoul ; yet, a bile 1 uitcrtaiul the profomuleat iciqicct for tha opinioi ot thoMO who juny differ with nn oil tbi. ua upon other tjtu-siione, I must he l- mittod to say that rnv poor capacity call discern in it nothing but disaster, iiiioidil it bocouio the doctrine ot the Democracy lied tliaan uuicadments lye in fact a part of the (louslilution, never to be dis turbed. We cannot afford, after Inn ing • tnuounecd them no long and so truthful 1 y, ils frauds and outrage* upon tlio peo ple, fraught with the oTcnu-uta of certain 'leslruction of onr form of government, to turn around now and pledge the faith of the party to their acceptance and their execution. Nor, in iny humble judg ment, is such a cotirao neceasnry to suc cess, oven if it baa come to that cxtmiui- ty that party triumph can lie obtained only by au iiliundomncut of snrno political principle. The great heart of the American people does not ondorso theso amend ments. Tlio doctrine of tlio Fiftcoth Amend ment was repudiated by the ltadical pur ty itself, in the very Convention that nominated General Grant, vvlicn it de clared, in the second resolution of its platform, that the question of suffrage, especially in tlio loyal States, rightfully bolonged exclusively to tlio people of the several States. They dared not go into tho canvass upon tlio contrary principle, for wherever the question of negro suf frage had lioen submitted to tbo 'direct vote of the people in any of tho “loyal States,’’ it hud mot with an overwhelm ing and crushing repudiation. Missouri, bound and manacled os she was, voted it down by over thirty-five thousand ma jority ; Michigan voted it down try over twenty thousand majority ; Wisconsin hy over thirty thousand, and Ohio by over fifty thatunnd. liven bleeding Kansas repudiated it by iv majority of over auvon thousand. Nur is this all. With tho principles iuvolvcd in theso amendments as tho loading issues between tho parties, tlio Democracy, with n iittlo over forty members in tho lower House of tho for tieth Congress, increased hor representa tion in the forty-second Congress to one liundrod and three, with other Htati certain to givo Democratic majorities yet to vote. The same ratio of gain would havo given us the forty-third Congress, us woll ns tlioo eletorul college, by nn overwhelming majority. LKI'AUTINO ON A OOW-CATCUU1C In view of theso facts, after wo have carried lino after line, and ontronchmcut after entrenchment, of tlu> enemy's works, when wo were on tho flood-tide of mic- coss, and moving with increasingcortuiu- ty right on to nn overwhelming triumph, why we bIiouIJ abandon the Hold, why wo should chango front und sound ail igno minious retreat, I confess is utterly be yond my powers of comprehension. It is n species of pnrty struegy entirely too deep for my conception, unless it is for tho pnrposo of constructing a platform upon wliioli sonio favorite candidate for tho Presidency may stand with safety and comfort to himself, or unless it be ns an old farmer said to mo tho other day, when I asked his opinion of tho “new departure," that some imputiont Demo crats, Boeing thu Kadical party going to tho devil on “a down grndu with the brakes off,” havo determined to boat them by jumping on tho “cow-catchor.” [Great laughter.] I repeat, I am not a party loader, nor do I aspire to be. I nm, and expect to be, a private in tho ranks, lighting for tho principles whioli have been tho cynosure of my political career through life, but if I were I should con sider myself unworthy either of your confldenoo or respect if I failed to speak to you, as I havo on this occasion, frank ly, candidly, sincerely, nudenrncstly upon this question. [Applause.] I may be mistaken, but my opinion is that tho proud old party I hare loved sc long will never depart from tho hand marks of her ancient faith. |Applause.] Whatever others may do I have au alild ing faith that Kentucky, true to her an cient prestige, tbo first to the chargo and the last to tho rotreat, in ovory contest for tho supremacy of tlio Constitution and tlio rights of the sovoral States under it, will never desort the standard she gallantly flung to tho breeze in 17987— [Great applause.] Descended from an auccstory who made their homes in thu proud old Commonwealth, when it was indeed "tlio dark and bloody ground, with tho scalping knifo and tomahawk gloaning around them, and taught by them from my earliest youth to rovor- euco, w ith more than filial piety, all tho traditions of hor chivalry aud her glory, I can ask for her no prouder eulogy from tlio pen of history than that, as slio was tlio first to clearly and distinctly define tho rights of herself and her sister sov ereignty, she went down in the vortex of centralization with her glorious colors prondly Hying. [Great applause. | Without recapitulating the long oata logue of usurpations, outrages and crimes, ngainst citizens aud .States alike, wliioli lias marked the career of tlio liadical party since its accession to power, the grand results of its ten years of adminis tration may bo summed up os follows. Tho utter and absolute overthrow of our system of Federal Government, through pretended amendments to the Constitu tion, procured by force and fraud; and tho introduction into tho represoutativo body of tlio people of a large and popu lous clemont, with just about as many qualifications for an intelligent exorcise of the elective f mtichiso as a gorilla from the jungles of Africa lias to give instruc tions in the Integral Calculus or Newton's Principia. [Great laughter aud ap plause. j In conclusion, my fellow-citizens, per mit uo to remark that, in my judgment, we are upon tho ovo of the hist contest, for civil liberty. Perhaps for contaries to oomc, should tho Democracy provo triumphant in that conflict, the principles of free govern ment will bo so firmly fixed that all tho storms of faction that may howl around them for generations will not bo able to shake them from their base. [Applause.] Hut if on tho other baud tho iiadicals should succeed in electing Gen. Grant — who will be their candidate beyond n per- adventure -the sun will perhaps set for the last time on representative republican gov ernment on this continent on tho 3rd of March, 1873.

After leaving her residence In walked to Kiglilh avenue, having some hnsine.es to attend to, promising to return in a short time. Miss John- on Kerins io have hod a prciieiilimonl of danger, und earnestly cnlivaUd l’el.I it to remain at her lions-' during the evening, hut his jiorKiKtciit argu ment of urgent husiness caused her Lo give way. Twenty minutes had scarcely elapsed when u messenger ■ante running to her home with the ad news thill young l’ettit was shot through the In art and win lying dead m the avenue. The filial news was -o sudden llml the young lady sank nseii.-ilde, und only recovered to lie a raving maniac. Yesterday morning she was slightly recovered, hut at short intervals cries in u pitying und frantic manner for him who is deaf to all earthly sounds. A few days since tlio young man received a letter from his mother signifying her intention to visit New York to witness his mar riage. On Wednesday night the sad intelligence was telegraphed to her, and she is expected to arrive in the city this morning. Who can imag ine the silent grief that is rankling in the bosom of this poor woman while she journeys hither to liohold flic re mains of her only son, who for nrovi mis years lias been her liojie and pro teclor in this world ? Young l’ittit conducted a large provision business on (lie west side of the city, and is spoken of hy all . ties in tlie highest terras.—JVeto York World. _ ^ Etc und flic Fig Leaves. Au amusing i tory is told of n daugh ter of a distinguished Southern General, who was spending tho Hummer at Silver Springs, Florida. As is well known, tho ladies wero compelled to resort to nil sorts of expedients in order to make their gowns presentable, and many of them bo- camc very export in tho use of dyes, so that, shut oat from tlio rest of the world ns they were, their attiro was almost in variably neat and lady-like. It appears that the young ladv in guos tion hud a black barogo which alio wished to restore to its prestiua beauty, and so ordored her maid (Eve) to boil her somo fig lenves, which, as is known, are excel lent for restoring color to dark materials. Having waited somo timo for the de coction to bo brought her, slio went out upon tlio gallery of tlio hotel, and culled in a loud voice ; “Eve have you put on tho fig loaves V " A number of gentlemen seat ed below with difficulty suppressed n laugh, and the young lady receiving no answer, reiterated her question more loudly thnn before. Unablo to restrain themselves, the gentlemen laughed loud and heartily. Tho absurdity of her ques tion suddenly flushed upon tho fair young lady, and she retired, to hide her blushes ami confusion to hor chamber. Evo nnd tho fig leaves was a standing joke at Silver Springs nil that season. — m lion. John C. Itrcrkniiiilgc At tho meeting of the Directors of the Industrial Association of Georgia, held at tho reading room of tho Marshall Ilouso last evening, this distinguished statesman aud gallant soldier was unani mously elected to deliver the oration at tho opening of tho Institute in Novem ber, next, in this city. Tlio ulmico is in deed a happy one, nnd wo but repeat tho sentiment of every American citizen w ho admires truo manhood, in anticipating tho futnro by cordially welcoming tlio distinguished gentleman amoug us. We wish tlio counsels of such men, and do- siro that tho rollex of their patriotism and virtues should bo felt among our people ns in days of yoro.—Siirmmnh News, 19.

ATLANTA DHPAHTMENTT SOUTHERN LIFE INSURANCE COMP’Y, IN THE CITY! is Tho man who lifts no resources of mind is far nu»ro to bo pitied than tho one who lifts uo provisions for his body. It is eas ier to die than it is to Uvo dependant for daily life on others. There come to ev ery one ot ns times when society palls upon us, w hen wo find no happiness eith er in the crowded assembly or in the quiet parlor, when companionship is l ather an annoyance than a pleasure. At such times, what is to become of tho man without mental resources? He has eaten, ho has drauk, ho has slept. What shall ho now do? Info is burdensome, exist ence is tasteless. Not kuowing whither to turn, is it any wonder ho dreams of suicide, and is it any 111111101' if his dream “comes trno?"'
