analytic mid comparative acumen and bis

dinary powers he brought to hear in its
elucidation, lie reviewed the leading
forms and adminiatratiima of government
now aviating throughout the world, retro.

Atlanta, Augott ft, 1872.
Editor Enterprise /—I know of noth
ing tbAt hao ortAtod Um interest tbati tha
movamaftt of tbo atraigbt-oota, looking
to a oodtadUoii of their kind. I can
tnaka nothing on! of tha movement tbet
ie more reepeoUbU than an effort to
etreogthen Grant’s ehancea of carrying
the HUte. Certainly that ia Ua teodeucy.
Whatever weakens Greeley’s ehancea,
etrenntbena the chenoee of Grant. That
ia a plain proposition.
It ia wondarfni how these Hiroon Puree
endeavor to dodge the iaauee before the
oountry. They aiwert that they will not
make a choice between two Uadieals like
Greeley and Grant. Well, who aHkn them
to do anything of the kind ? The choice
la between a eonnd, liberal, beneficent,
old-faahioned constitutional government
and a dynasty of centralisation and usur
pation, eoatalnad by force of the beyonet.
They ara asked to overthrow Grant the
nepot-entate. They are anked to restore
constitutional government. They are
asked to overthrow fraud, corruption aud
usurpation. They are asked to restore
the right of self-government. They are
asked to overthrow the theory which
propagated martial law, murders the ha-
bead corpus, and treads the sscred rights
of oitizens beneath the iron heel of des
potism. They are asked to restore the
grand old magus charts, to reaffirm their
liberties, to suppress enforcement sets
and orual Ku-Klux inquisition*.
Their choice ia against all this. Let
them go. “Ephraim is joined to his
idols; let him alone." Thetis the liest
thing to do with them. Let them severe
ly alone,and they will soon exbsust them
selves. As U is, they recall the old story
of the ram and the grindstone.

Gkntlrmin—I notice in your issue of
this morning a short paragraph devoted
to the news from Han Francisco relative
to the diamond fields discovered on the
Colorado river, and tha incorporation of a
company to work the same, and an inti
mation that it smaoks a good deal of the
* ‘wild oat. ’ ’ Now, air, these deposits were
discovered tome nine months sinoe, but
the work on tha digging waa delayed un
til some special legislation by CongreM
waa had, whieb enable* each individual to
obtain a patent ia fee for twenty acres of
all mineral land, of whatsoever character,
containing gold, silver, precious metals,
and “other valuable deposits." This lat
ter clause oovere the ground, and 1kmj. F.
Butler log-rolled tha bill through, aud is
an interested party to the extent of one-
eighth for his valued services. The other
parties are Messrs. Harpending, Uoberts,
Dodge, Butterworth and Lent. They
have all bean in New York city, and had
wilh them, at the bank of Lest A Waller,
aa Pirn street, New kork, ten pouude of
tha rough diamonds, and had a aaucerful
of them worked by tha best lapedanee in
tha city, and have proved of the first wa
ter. Thera ie no bogus in this statement,
aad tha extant and value of the discovery
will astonish the nation and the world.—
Brasil, Capa of Good Mope, and tho In
dies, will aiak into ineignlfleance before
these diamond placers ot onr own beloved
land, which an alLwioe Providenoe seems
to bless with svsrything, good, great, and

Mr. Milburn now proceeded to deliver
the Baccalaureate discourse. He took for
a text the words of Ht. Fan I: “1 am now
ready to Im offered, and the time of my
departure m at hand," etc., and proceed
ed, after having reminded the audience
that tha ear of a blind person ia particular
ly acute aud aeusilive lo noises, aud re
vested the assembly to lend him their
undivided attention, to entar npon an ex
tended and thorough review of the life of
Paul. Tbe first part of ilia discourse,
embracing the first thirty years of the
souetle’s life, was chiefly devoted to au
elucidation of the feoliuga which dictated
tho course of thin well-informed aud en
tirely sincere Jew, iu regard to tbe per
son of our Lord Josus Christ and his doc
trines. The speaker showed conclusively
how impossible it was for the Jewish um-
tiou to act otherwise thau they did at that
time uuder the prestige of the firmly es
tablished aud deeply-rooted doctrines of
the Mosaic religion. But a time, came
when the great Jewish advocate, once
among the supporters aud spectators of
the murder of ttaint Stephen, wm to re
ceive the heavenly inspiration of the new
faith. Ou his bloody miosiun to Damas
cus, to arrest and bring to Jerusalem tbe
disciples of Baint Htepheu who hod lied
there, aad every one of the followers of
Christ he might find there, jnat before
reaching Damascus, and iu sight of the
woudrous city, h«* was arrested by Hint
miraculous light which deprived him of
his sight. Wm this hallucination of the
senses, or reality and inspiration from on
high f The s|ieaker impressively pat this
question to hut voung hearer's as a ques
tion worthy of their moat serious cousid
eration and study; as, iudaed, upon the
individual solution of this depends the re
ception or rejeotioo of faitn. The con
versation, miraculous restoration of his
sight, aud hit baptism followed now in
rapid succession. From this time the
second half Paul's life began, extending
over a spaoe of thirty years, and charac
terized by the most zealous aud unflinch
ing advocacy of the faith, which be hid
formerly songht to subvert, with all the
powers of his eloquence and mind, until
the day when—M Mr. Milburn appeara to
take for granted, perhaps on aeoouut of
iUdvamatio interest his execution wm
at hand, and he penned iu prison the
memorable words which formed the text
of bis address. This address wm a pow
erful pioture of the sublimity of a staunch
adberanoe to faith, and wm turned to
practical account by the learned
speaker in exhorting bis hearers, about to
depart from tbe balls of their Alma Mater
to make such their guiding principle
through life.

pen of Dr. Lipscomb, now followed:

leaders nominated at Cincinnati.
Before iho nomination at Baltimore
active opposition whh the duty of ail Dem
ocrats who desired to maintain the cardi
nal principles of the party. Hince the
nominalitiu that duty esauss.
There are now two candidates in tbo
field—Grant uud Greeley. Grant aud bis
party represent centralism, sud a central
ism with all its powers directed against
tbe Houtb, its pssoe, and its prosperity.
Greeley ism represents a wing of the lie-
publican party, whoso declared policy in
the fourth paragraph of tbo Cincinnati
platform is sguinat centralism and in favor
of local self-govern meat. The romstnder
of the Greeley party is composed of Dem
ocrats who go farther than the fonrth par
agraph of tbo platform, and from I7ffii to
tbe present time have maintained that
local Holf-govcrnmcnt is a prineijtU laying
nt the foundation of tbe Uoverumcut.
The election of Ursut places iu power
the Central idea. Tbe election of Greeley
places in power the Federal idea, or right
of self-government in the Hiatus.
As between these two, it is all-important
to tbo South to secure tho electiou of
Greeley, and wilh bis election, maintain
the union aud harmony of the Democratic
party; for its influence upou his adminis
tration will be umch greater if tbo har
mony of tbo party is preserved, than it
posaibly can be if it is torn and disunited
by diHNouMoun within the party.
Uuder theso ciicniustances, to run a
third candidate in to Jo till that can be done
to elect Grant and defeat Greeley; to elect
tbe third candidate ia simply impossible.
If tbo nomination of a third oandblute
caused tbo defeat of Groeley, every man
would regret his course after.the election,

of bis preceding diaccwwe. He warned

If, o
on tbe other band, Greeley should
be elected despite the weight of the
“strait-out” Democratic nominee thrown
iu favor of Grant, the Democratic party,
according to the extent of tbe division in
the Democratic ranks, would be weakeued
in its influence on the Greeley Adminin-
tration. For these reasons, it (teems to
me that while no possible good can reenlt
from tbe nomination of a third candi
date, the evils to whioh I have referred
are tha natural and legitimate results to
be anticipated from Much a nomination,
to which may be added the certain di-
c in ion of the Demooratio organization in
the State—a breach which will widen and
grow moro bitter every day, and may be
attended with dioMter that but few now

Democrats are to Democratic priuoiplea,
and particularly the great priuoipie of
State sovereignty, experience will teach
them that these principles can onlj be
maintained by and through the old Dem
ocratic National organisation. If this
party has departed from its landmarks (m
I think it has) by endoming the Cincin
nati platform and its nominee, the way to
bring it back ia not by abandoning the
party, bnt by remaining inside of its or-
E itioa and leaving no effort intact to
it back into its old channel. The
monce of the old platform by the
Atlanta Convention wm one step in that
direction. Others will follow.

tho work of encotinqpug and bnihhnK up
the cultivation of oottou in India will be
proHocutcd on a larger scale than hereto-

important extent for the production of
thi. a tuple in oppimition to the United
Mojo*, and tbo English Government
heartily co-operates with the manufactu
rers of Uaneheater in the policy of aiding
its growth in that country by all paaaildo
tnoane. Tho competition of Indian cotton
with the Auierictiu staple is therefore like
ly to be even moro active iu tbe fnturo
than in the post.
Tho Manchester Cotton Supply Associa
tion may be well content to tranafor its
functions to the more potent agenoy of

company, Its suceera may be regarded a*
in many respect* remarkable. When the
aeorets of history are folly unfolded, it
umy possibly appear that it was to the
idea of this Association of uniting British
India to tho Imperial Government by a
potent U* of cotton and gold that the
American people nr* indebted to the neu
trality of England during oar oivil war.
Manchester saw a chance of rendering it-
aelf independent of tha American cotton
supply, and at th* «une time of opening
np » new and almost unlimited outlet for
its aannfarton*. And it mart bo conced
ed tbrt it improved te* Irttar opportunity
with even more energy than the farmer.
