We have been thinking of the unchari
table treatment which society gives to
what are called "fallen women.”
How virtuously we keep them down I
How impossible we make it lor them to
qH main 1 How inexorable we sentenoe
to a dungeon of shadows, and shut against
them every golden gate to a future ca
reer!
A learned writer, discoursing upon this
very subject, brings forward some strong
points against the uncharitable and cruel
world towards theso unfortunate people.
We quote ono argument, and the reader
can draw his own conclusions os to its
correctness:
"And tho Scribes and Pharisees
brought nnto him awoman taken in adul
tery, in the very act
" ‘Now Moses in tho law commanded
as that such be stoned; but what sayeat
tbon ?'
"Jesus stooped down, and with his
finger wrote on the ground, as though he
heard them not. So when they contin
ued asking him, he lifted up himself and
said unto them—
"He that is without sin among you,
lot him, first cast a stone.”
Without what sfu f Not all sins in
general, but uno sin in particular. The
hypocrites, every one of them, liad
sinned it. And, furthermore, most men
sinoo then have been tho liko sinners,
and are to this day.
"And again he stooped down, anil
wrote on the ground, and they which
beard it, being convicted by tbeir own
oonscienca, went opt one by one, liegiu-
nlng at the eldest, even nnto the lost;
and Jesus was left alone, and tho woman
standing in the midst. Whon Jesus hail
lifted up himself, and saw none but the
woman, no said unto her:
“ 'Woman, who are those tbino ncau-
irs f Hath no man condemned thee ?’
“ Sho said :
V ‘No man. Lord.”
“ And Jesus said onto her :
“ • Neither do I ooudonm thee ; go,
and sin no more."’
" They say unto him, Muster, this wo
man was taken in adultery, in the very
act.”
If so, then not only tho woman was
taken, bnt also the man. Bnt what bo-
camo of the man ? The woman was
dragged to tho temple to be stonod. Tho
man probably went away among hit
companions to langli. Indeed, there is
no evidoneo that he was not her chief
accuser, and the ringleader in her pun
ishment.
Now let us pojat the moral which
adorns this tola. If fbo woman's crime
merits martyrdom, what docs the man's ?
If s)ie was a tinner, \yhut waa he? And
yet how does the world judge between
the two culprite f Ah, now ei then, and
ia every aneli aeso the Borlbcs and Thar-
moot together to forgive tho man,
and then go away and leave it to Christ
alone lo forgive the woman.
But tho Mayor introdnoed tho latter
day argument, whiob settled all the lii
blc talk of the moralist, by announcing
$10 and oast, and leave tho city, or $00
and aorta If they refusod to go. That
settled it

The weather yesterday was lovely—re
minding one of a balmy April day. The
st.eets presented a lively and nourishing
aspect. •
We take pleasure in laying before our
readers, this morning, tliu following
sound document, and heartily commend
it to the Democrats, not only of the Firat
Ward, but of the whole city. If Col.
Fears’ suggestions are followed, wo will
linvo a city government composed of
good men end sound Democrats, which
will reflect credit upon Atlanta and the
State :
TO THE DEM OCHA VS or THE FUST WABD.
The Chairman of tho Executive Com
mittoe of the Democratic Chib of the
First Ward lias seen red a hall at the Min-
renl Hpring, and names next Monday
night for our next meeting. Tho hall is
central and ample in its accommodations,
and hereafter we will expeet a Urge tarn
out from all parts of the Ward.
OorClab is not organised in the inter
est of any person or locality; bnt In tbs
interest of the First Ward, and of the
city, whiob we believe con best be inb-
servafl by securing a Democratic admin
istration in our next municipal election.
To secure this is our object, and we deem
it proper to make a few suggestions as to
the course to be pursued.
It is not denied that we ore in the ma
jority in tbo Ward and in the city; so
whether tho election is by Wards or for
the whole ticket, all wo have to do is to
act together, and wc will bo sure to have
a Democratic Mayor and Council.
But how aro we to have this concert of
setion? The answer is, by arousing every
Democrat to the imperative necessity of
individual action—an active, personal par
ticipation in the nomination and election
of Municipal officers. Let every Demo-
cract who has the interest of his Ward
and of the city at heart, attend all meet
ings of the party, and do what he can to
secure tho nomination of our best men
and aoundost Democrats.
It bos been very common of Into years
after a nomination has been made to
hear a great howl about not having nom
inated competent and acceptable men.
This should not be so. If every Dem
ocrat would do his duty and attend th*
nomination, the best men could and
would be nominated. Then thero would be
no occasion for citizens aud Independent
Tickets; for it is idle to talk about a man
having sufficient popularity aud merit to
bo elected on au Independent Ticket, by
Democratic votes, who could not by the
same votes be nominated.
But it is said that men go to election*
wbo will not attend nominations. I do
not believe this is true of uny Democrat
wbo is willing to do bis duty. But if it
is true, it is wrong, for by neglecting to
put in nomination proper men, there is
always ao ssrciise lor citizens on Indepen
dent Tickets, which is calculated to bo
divide tho party us to givu tho Radicals
an easy victory.
Then let the whole party torn out, and
let every man do his whole duty, and se
lect competent and honest men, aud
good Democrats for candidates. Let
tho selection bo fairly and honestly
made, and when made, lot every
Democrat put his shoulder to the
wheel nnd keep it thero nntil the
election is over, and a Democratic vic
tory will Ik) the result Let us liavo no
grumbling after tbc nomination. The
will of tho majority fairly expressed, is
the will of every man ill the party. This
is nn old and honored rule with onr
porty.
There is ono other precaution which I
think proper to be taken, aud that is,
givu no man yonr votes in tho nomina
tion uulcss ho agrees to abide by it; for,
unless bo is willing to submit to this test
of fidelity to tho party, he is not a good
Democrat.
Iu cuneliwivii, )t| mo bog ouch and
every Bemocrat to attend tho mootings
of our club, and let us counsel together
on theso important mutters. Aid us in
organising llie party and adding to its
fences, nnd whon tho day of election
comes, with tho Democratic lines drawn
up, every mini in place and no stragglers,
wo will march lo uu easy and honorable
victory. S. S. Fears,

CoL Howard, who bus been arousing
the people to the importance of scientific
agriculture in a series of brilliant and
most telling lecture?, closed his labors
for the Atiuntu Industrial Association in
an addre s at Gainesville, last Wednes
day.
Not having a largo audience ia the
morning—tho hour appointed—at the
suggestion of somo one, tho address was
deferred until evening, when town and
country exerted themselves until the
court house was filled to overflowing.
To the furmers ho spoko of the natu
ral advantages afforded in that mountain
ous country for sbosjfiruising; of the al
most miraculous fruits of the use of fer
tilizers, and adjured them to aroasc
themselves in the growing interest mani
fested in scieulific funning everywhere,
until many of the most prominent citi
zens of the place thanked him, and again
resolved to revive the drooping spirits of
their agricultural society.
Tbc ladies were not overlooked, bat
received wholesome advice, for which
they showed their appreciation by their
smiles and applause.
Col. Howard has done a gcod work for
the Atlanta Fair. The nature of a sub
ject seems no consideration with him.—
He is eloqnent in all. Gnc of onr young
townsmen, who has no prediliction for
farming, expressed himself perfectly
apell-bound.
Nallonul Agricultural Congr
This body held a meeting in Nashville,
Tennessee, this week, and perfected its
organization. We observe that Mr. Oli
ver H. Jones, o( this city, and one of
our best known and most popular citi
zens, was honored with the distinction of
Vice President. Among tho other gen
tlemen thus honored we notice tho names
of ex-Governor IL M. Patton, of Ala
bama, and General John S. Marmaduke,
of St. Louis, Into of tho Confederate
army.
From gentlemen who were in attend
ance upon this Congress und upon the
Nashville Fair, we learn that great inter
est is manifested among the people of
Tennessee in regard to our Atlanta Fair,
also in regard to tho Georgia State Fair.
There will be a great many Tennesseeans
in attendance upon both.
Quite a number of fine horses will
also be brought down, among which are
the bay marc Tennessee, from Nashville ;
the dan horse Rattler, from Bowling
Green ; and Chieftain, a promising bay
colt belonging to John Overton, of Nash
ville. It is also very probable that Pilot
Temple w ill visit both the Atlanta and
Macon Fairs.

It is always a source of gratification to
observe, out of tho host of idle, thoght-
lcss, prodigal and improvident young
meD, one who is truly enterprising and
commendably ambitions. There are few
in our city more deserving of such con
sideration than our young townsman,
Samuel A. Echols. Only a few yeurs
since, he came hero almost friendless
and almost without an acquaintance; yet
by industry, perseverance nnd his perso-
vering spirit he 1ms ingratiated himself
into the confidence and esteem of our
first citizens and the public at large.
Aside from his succoss ss u dealer iu agri
cultural implements, Ac., ho ha* won
distinction, not only at homo, but abroad,
in his agricultural monthly, tho 11 urnl

Only recently uu extensiva manufac
turing establishment in Dublin, Ireland,
lias made a proposition to him to employ
him to writo a work on the “History and
Management of Cotton and Tobacco in
the Southern States,” tho work to bo
published in Ireland. A book of this
kind might be made to cmlmdy much
that would tend to indneo immigration.

Certain rumors, we nnderstand, are
afloat to tbe effcoi that the present pros
ecution of the suspected State Road
thieves is nothing but a farce.
It is easy to imagine the source of those
insinuations against the gentleman who
first of all, comiucncud thia investigation,
which is to bo prosecuted diligently un
til the delinquents are detected and con
victed. Certain parties anxious to carry
favor with tbe Legislature for dertain
sinister purposes, are prolwUy observing
