a • of Quodlibet By Hon Jotoo P K
It is contrary then to the spirit of tbe I
coaveotion that the amt of tnyprrpa' MEBTiho of ihk intern aiiob*
erly Accredited delegate, should be pot*
in question or dispute.
We desire to pot tbe northern dele
gates precent upon notice, that they
will find no iJliberation here. They
will find that tbe negro ia fairly and
honestly treated. He ia not admitted
to that social equality which bis condi
tion does not justify, bis welfare ue-
maud or his comfort suggeat^tud which
denied him in tbe north. But lor all
practical purposes of life, be ia given
and guaranteed a legal chance with
tbe white man. Only a few weeks ago
negro mao, by advice of democratic*
lawyers .and edict of a democratic judge
was admitted to practice at this bur.
Georgia will never contribute anything
towards reviving tbe irritating race ie-
ue which has so long divided tbe re-
public, retarded the growth of tbe
aouth, subordinated all practical politi
cal issues, and put the government, rod
derlees and heJplee-, is a whirlpool of
passion and bate.

Among those who congratulated Sen
ator Dennis on bis speech in disappro
bation of tbe movement of Mr. Mont
gomery Hlair waa Senator Gordon, who
said "it wee on rood a- tv*n?d be.’*
Sknatou Vo Miitokto i.»a become tbe
chmi'pi on of tbe Mexican veterans,
and on tbe 30 h instant he will en
ileavor to push through a resolution
directing the committee ou pensions to
report a bill to place the names of tbe
survivors or of theif wives upon tbe
pensioo roll. Mr. Voorhees will ad
dress the senate on the subject, and hia
resolution will test the sense of the
senate. We are glad that the veterans
have eo able a champion.
W« have nail ail kinds ot congresses
almost, but It was reserved for Indian*
apolia to summons a national micro
scopical congress. It ia to meet next
August. Each delegate ia expected to
come armed with a double'barrelled
magnifier.
Tna New York bank* and the na
tional banks in senersi, are t>aid to be
acting in cor jnuction with the a
tary of tbe treasury. While the one
contracts the currency, the others
operate on the bank discounts. In
New York city alone, the volume oj
discounts shrank last week, $4,6*10,000
Tliis iqueesing process ia pressing val
ura down unprect dentedly low. In
stead of a policy cf resumption, we are
* getting one of redemption and contrac
tion.
In another column will be found
correspondence between Mr. Whidby,
of this cty, and some of the Sunday
school magnates of Ohio concerning
the admission of a negro delegation
the Sunday-school convention, now as
sembling in this city.
It appears to us that Mr. Whidby
baa made entirely too much of a small
matter, lie has started a new "out
rage” around the press of the nor h
and has unintentionally, no Moubt
placed the south in a false position.
We do no*, believe he would have been
sustained in his protest against Arnett
by the Iccal c* mmittee, from which, b>
the way, he says he kept the matter
secret. We are confident that he ia
not sustained in his action by the pub
he sentiment of Atlanta; or of th*
south. We should, of course, prefer U
see a full white delegation sent to At-
auta from the northern atafe?; i/, how
ever, one or two oi them should send a
negro delegate, there would be no dis
position here to either refuse him bis
feat, or (r ghten him into not claiming
it. The south has, in all honor and
ainct-rity, agreed, if left to herself, to
guarantee to the negro hia fullest
rights. As is stated elsewhere, our
governor—cf Tusiriou* lineage and
backed by tne largest democratic ma
j mty ever given any man in.G«orgia—
has not thought it.beneath his personal
or official dignity to go into a n» gro
church and preach the gospel to them
respectable negro**' find a quiet wel
come in cur beat churches, and Arnett
would have found an undisputed
in the convention it be had presented
his credentials.
Even if there had been a political sen
timent opposed to hia admi*eion,it does
seem that the nature of the convention
to which he was accredited, should
have secured him hia place. The In
ternational Sunday echool convention
ia tbe meat catholic and liberal body in
theory on this earth. It ia the only
body in which all religions and men of
the denominauope o*p meet, Under
SAW FINANCIAL MEASURE*
The eastern papers regard the bar
gain that Secretary Sherman made last
week aa conclusive of specie resump
tion on or before the first day of Jah
uary next. The syndicate, composed
part of several of the greatest houses
Europe, has agreed to take $50,000.•
000 of tbe 4§ per cent bonds at 101 d in
gold and accrued interest; ten millions
once and five millions a month Id
the remainder of the year. The pro
coeds of the loan are to be devoted to
preparation for the reeumption of spe
cie payments by increasing the coin re
serve in the treasury. Tbe bargain if
regarded in New York as a*good one
At the time the contract was closed
gold waa selling at 100), and the 4} per
cent b«mds were aelling in the markets
102* currency. Making allowance
for accrued interest, the imarket price
gold waa 102; making the same al
lowance, the price which the treasuj#
got for the bonds waa 102 03. This
price was 1* par cent higher than any
other bid, and 1* per cent higher than
the bid ot the banka.
Secretary Sherman "claims'* to have
on hand coin to the amount of $90,000,
000, available for resumption; he ex
pects to coin $32,000,000 in silver dur
iog the year; add to these amounts th«
proceeds of the new syndicate bargain,
and we have $172 000,000 in gold with
which to begin the redemption of th*
vast volume of paper money. Thu
amount of gold will be the result of s
direct inert sse of our interest-bearing
debt. Io the operation we lose more in
interest than we gain in all the refund
ing that has taken piece. It is, in othe>
words, an increase of taxation that a ill
be severely felt. Ia this effort to force
specie reeumption worth whet it will
cost? Will the preparations that
the secretary haa in mind
suffice to accomplish the objar.
he has in view? The first question
will nowhere command an unanimoo-
votq; an answer to the latter depend*
mcjC'apon the nature of aobeeqaent
legislation than upon anything that
Mr. Sherman baa done or can do.
We have no heeilation in Baying that
resumption is feasible, provided the
new propositions of the senate finance
committee are transformed into law
These propositions are:
Finv-To make greenbacks receivable to pay
I caiaoma cue* In n and altar iba 1st oi
July next.
Heoord—To make greenbacks receivable In
payaent ot Ura foar per cent, bonds of ibe
Ualted Sutra.
Tblrd—To repeal the provision to tbe act of
January 14. 1*75. which lays tbit as often as
circulating notes shall be Is-oed to national
banka It shall be the duty ot the arcratary ot
the treasury to redeem the legal-leader notes
of the Uulfed frates la exet as ot $900 0.0 000 to
the amount of 80 per ceok of the national
otea so issued to sach bonking u
Fourth-That the legal teode-s received lor
b tads, customs duties, and from o'her soarcea,
shall tw paid out by the secretary to meet tbe
government obligations and for currant expen-
are. The effect of thla last and tbe preceding
proposition U to arrest contraction and to keep
the volume of the legal-tender circa , atioc at 1U
present figure.
We are willing to go atill farther by
eaying that under these propositions
specie resumption during the current
year would be not only feasible
but desirable. The east will bow
ever oppose these propositions
Messrs Merrill, Bayard, Kernan and
Dawes of the finance committee, art
understood to be opposed to them, leav.
iog only a bare majority—Messrs Alii
son, Feny, Jones, Voorhees and Nal-
ace—to reports bill. Itia believed
however, that it will, ae a substitute for
the house bill to repeal tbe resumption
act, command the support of all who
are not interested in squeezing the
1 creditor class. It will generally be ac
cepted as the beet attainable settlrmeni
of difficult questions. These propes
dons aie warmly approved by such
conservative journals aa the Columbus
Times and the Richmond Diepa*ch.
The Times says: "Weare thoroughly
convinced that nothing else ia needed
but the passage by congress at its pre
sent session of all these measures, to
re establish spec.e payments or the
eqtlixUion of gold and paper money on
a firm basis, to revive confidence and
business, and restore the prosperity of
the country.” The Dispatch
become eloquent in anticipation or
the acceptance by confrere of the com
mittee’a propositions. It says:
congress only gratifies Mr. Sherman bv
m-king greenbacks receivable for a*
dues to the government after July 1st
aud slope the curtailment of paper
money just at thia very point, resump
tion ia an aceomplithed tact. There
no reason for postponing the day. As
long aa it is postponed people will
getting ready for it, and that is a pro-
cere which cripples the public energies
and postpones.the freedom that must
be proclaimed the very day of resump
tion. The dawn is upon us, and the
ight of the coming day ia spreading
over the heavens.'*
In troth, the people and their sec
retary are within hu»d-ehaking die*
tance; and if the east will for the pub
lic good yield its disposition to fqueexe
the reet of the country, there is no
doubt that legislation can be readily
had that will, in conjunction with the
silver bill, throw the stock of gold into
the market, and imperceptibly bring
os*to the financial consummation that
all desire.

world throbs with deepest emotion while ruli?g
potentates are decreeing what changes must be
made ia the map and destiny of notions.
To-day with the worldly minded and

earth In the Bilkan peninsula.
How paltry, how insignificant doe* all this
exaggerated concern appear, by the aide of the
Infinite and eternal interests upon which your
congress la to take oonrs-I. The craftiest wi
man—the beet-trained diplomacy of states,
xpend Uiemselve* in ariiflcj to make the mos
of the division of rpotls wrenched from the oon-

that mankind is a great brotherhood; that the

How much moral force—how many
agencies—how many prayers, what
streams of blood, what a flood of tears havt
been evoked by this idea of ruling the world!
With varying success, bnt with constant
short-comings, in practical res alts the man of
religions faith is still at work-atiU sighing, but
itill determined. Oue troth we stand upon-
firm as the rock of ages, and that is the relirion
of the gospel of Christ. Humanity ia it***

era then are nncearing, that this convention nay
be sn unspeakable blearing to this A merican ccn-
Atlanta, for the welcome, which haa greeted na
from the Ups of yoor esteemed governor, and
your honored mayor. In the days and years
to come, aa countries, we shall have pleasant
e hxistiau intercourse. Yon undtr the flag of
year great republic, and we devoted subjects
of the British throne. I am sure it is the prayer
and the earnest desire of all here, and ol all
right thinking people in the United States one
Great Britain, that however matters may go
in Europe, England and the United States may
never be other than friendly, or rath«*r,relations*
os they really are. The Christian sentiment
both countries is for peace
good wiU. Why not?
We speak the same glorious language, a lan
guage which shall yet be the universal tongue.
In which common philosophy, science and re
ligion shall carry on the dvilixation and moral
progress of the world. The great authors in po
etry, nistory, phtioaopoy and science are yours
as well aa oars. You rightfully claim a posses*
sion in Shakespeare. Milton, Chaucer and Ma
caulay. We study the same KnglUh Bible. We
teach onr children the same iaternational
schema of Sunday school lessons We worship
living and true God, and we are deeply
interested in the same branches of Christian
work.
Henceforth let arbitration, and not the sword-
settle all International difficulties. If you
think we gained an advantage over you in the
“fishing award (although we do not think so)
did you not get the better of ua in everything iu
the past? Let Britain and America, the great
commercial nations of the world, move forward
\n aU the elements of n grand Christian drill-
zatlon. and let them go hand in hand and
shoulder to shoulder In fee blessed work ol the
world’s evangelization. Then ishall angels sing
ayain, “Glory to God in the highest, and on
earth peace and good will to man.”
In cor elusion,let me my,onr anticipations con
cerning this convention are prayerful and trust
ful, and therefore are large. We have come to
your beautiful city to enjoy yoor hospitality for
a brief period; not becatre we have no work
at home; not because it was quite easy for us
to come We have come because we hear the
Master’s loving and authoritative voice In ring
ing accent*—“Feed my lamb*.” We have come
to consult on the best methods of shepherding
such aa may bear the tender designation. What
shall the result be? Shall it be an international
convention in Atlanta, glorlona, well officered
and its programme canted oat in all Us details,
more of it; or shall it be a great spiritual
force, whose influence in waves of light and
warmth shall irradiate from Atiat ta to every
state in the union, and to every province in the
dominion f Shall It make a new and more
deeply spiritual ere in the history of Sunday
school work T
I look thia convention In the face, and I ven
ture to aver that It Is impossible for ua—bap*
tiz d with the Holy Ghost, filled with the word
that waa in Christ—throbbing In consecrated
mpathy with Jesus for the salvation of the
children and yonng people of thia American
continent, to revolutionize aud intensify and
nations why should we not shout and go awry o’ additions to the church were Imperfect and
forgetful almost of the names that mark oui
church relations? I shall expxt to hear Dr.
John Hall shout “glory to God" from his pntplt
on Fifth avenue as he reocunts these blessed
days at Atlanta.
The prophetic words continued aa follows:
“rhus salth the Lard of hosts. It shall yet to
come to pass that there shall come people and
the inhabitants of many cities, and the inhabi
tants of one city shall go to another, eayin.
let ua go spte lly to pray before tha Lord, and to
seek the Lord of heats. 1 will go also.” And
hither have come 'he people and the ichsbl-
tents of many cities, who, I trust, have said one
to another, “Let us go to pray before the Lord
at Atlanta.” From bow many of tbe fAires
citiis in our land have these Inhabitants come?

conducted by Rev H. M Panoas, of Buffalo,

entire congregation set mod to join iu the devo i

Upon tbe platform were about a dozen of the
prominent members of tbo convention and
members of oar local clergy.
The convention was then led in prayer by
the venerable Dr. W. 8 Piumcr, ot Columbia,
