THE ATLANTA WEEKLY SUN, FOB THE WEEK ENDING MAY 29, 1872.

FROM THE DAILY EDITION OF
Tiiostlny, May 2R<5i, 1872.
We mve elsewhere to our readers to-day, i . B _ ,, ,, . - .
J port of Grant; and had he not just as
-&n editorial of the Atlanta Constitution of| _„_ a a
the 24th instant.
In this, as will be seen, our neighbor
has not only “taken us to task” for de
claring that we will not choose between
Greeley and Grant for the Presidency;
‘but has assumed to bring our Patriotism
in question for the declaration.
We do not gainsay h is right to do
-either; nor do we raise a cry of “intoler
ance" as to either; but we claim the light
to be informed upon what grounds his
imputation upon oar patriotism ispre-
jdicated.
-Let us have the specifications. Let us
understand each other.
Is it “unpatriotic” to affirm promptly,
emplmt ically and most “trrecocably'^Jh at
-we will not support Jor- the Presidency
Mr. Greeley, who has done as much, if
not more, than any other living human
being to crush out the life of the Consti
tution, and to bring about those evils
now so grievously felt everywhere; and
•who still approves and sanctions, as right
ful acts, the numerous gross and avowed
usurpations by which these monstrous
wrongs against Public Liberty have been
perpetrated?
Is this tho determination on our part
which our neighbor is pleased to char
acterize as unpatriotic?
If not, is it our declaration quite as
emphatically and “irrevocably” ex
pressed, that we never will depart from
or abandon those principles upon which
the whole fabric of our free Institutions
rest; and upon the maintenance of which
is based ’ the only sure hope of their
preservation ?
Let us distinctly know in what our
unpatriotic determination consists.
So much for that branch of the sub
ject, for the present.
Onr neighbor, however, not only so
««takes us to task,” and so arraigns onr
patriotism, but in regard- to “reasoning
.and counseling” with fellow Democrats
for the best and surest means of perserv-
ing their principles and organization,
and with them the liberties of the coun
try, represents us as holding a position
which in itself is a “mockery.” “A
nioro disagreeable mockery,” says he,
-“could not be presented to the good
Democrats of the country by a good
Democrat.”
Is it a mockery to good Democrats to
inquire into the past and present posi
tions of Mr. Greeley upon great and
-vital questions of public interest, and to
undertake to show that no “ good Demo
crat” can support him, unless he has
made up his mind to abandon the prin
ciples on which his party organization is
£-wed ?
It it mockery to say that if the minds of
any are thus made up to abandon the
.principles of their own party and go over
to the camp of the enemy, ice will not
follow them ? A proposition to abandon
.the essential and vital principles of the
rights of the people, and the rights of
ihe States, is one that will never be enter-
- tained by us in any Party consultation.
Now, as many may see this article who
- army not have seen our previous one,
• from which the Constitution quoted only
a part,, we deem it proper,in this connec
tion, to reproduce that previous article
entire, that every one may be fully in
formed as to what is onr real position in
.the premises, which is thus characterized
tbj our neighbor as a mockery to all good
.'Democrats. It is in these words:
opinions and theories of others, or by any other
means, arouse that feeling of antagonism that it is
bo difficult to allay in every human breast, but that,
with the fiery temper and impetuous disposition of
Southern people, renders itself so peculiarly danger
ous to us.”
The Sew Apportionment.
distinctly called upon us and all good
Democrats to “choose ye between the two?"
It was*when we promptly and with em
phasis replied, we would never so choose
between those two [Radical chiefs, that
our neighbor became so deeply con
cerned, and exclaimed: “It is with pro
found regret that we read the above from
Mr. Stephens.”
However profound this regret may be,
he may be assured that it cannot possi
bly be more profound than ours is, at
seeing clearly from his article we are
commenting on, that he is now ready to
abandon those principles which lie
deemed, last year, to be essential to the
preservation o? Constitutional Liberty,
and which Le then said he never would
yield.
These are the same essential principles
of Public Liberty which we then said,
and now say, that we will never yield,
surrender, nor abandon for any Party
considerations whatever. No ! Never !

Below will he found the new appor
tionment as lately amended and passed

*• ranks.—Telegraph <£■ Messenger, Macon, Ga.
We clip the above from an editorisl of onr es-
•toeuiod cotemporary, of Macon, of the 19th instant.
Wo take no exceptions to tho statement so roundly
-mado, that opposition to Mr. Greeley at the present
crisis is synonymous with the support of General
-Grant and his ruinous policy; nor to the remark,
-‘-choose ye between the two.” We think there is a
.good deal of inconsiderateness in this entire edito
rial, and trust our cotemporary will excuse us for so
-saying.
How, let us inquire, can it bo said that “Greeley
. means reform and freedom from intolerable thraldom
. and coaruplion.
Upon what facts is this assertion based ? With all
earnestness of purpose, we say to our cotomporary,
come and let us reason with each other. Is it not
(rue, undeniably true, that Mr. Greeley was ono of
the master spirits who originated “the ruinous poli-
. -cy" of “thraldom,” and tyranny, under bayonet
.rale, which General Grant is so thoroughly carrying
■ -out ?
Is it not true that Mr. Greeley exalted as much
power as any man living in the overthrow of the
Governments of ten Slates of the Union and the
orection of Military Despotisms in them.q/ler the icar
.for the maintenance of the Union was overt
Is it not true that he exerted all his power in favor
of the Enforcement Acts ?
Is it not true that ho was equally potent in procur
ing tho passage of that abomination known as the
Mu-Klux Act.
Nay more; is it not true that he is to-day in favor
of all these iniquitous measures ? Is it not true. that
lie is thoroughly in favor of Mr. Sumner's Civil
Bights Bill?
Is it not difficult to imagine any •'thraldom'' more
■*.Intolerable than that which Mr. Greeley advocatod,
wvith all his energy and great ability, and which he
.now approves?
Is it therefore reasonable, is it rationed, to suppose
-that any relief from this ‘‘thraldom," and worse to
come, can be obtained by elevating to the Chief
Magistracy of the Union, this “master spirit” in
bringing upon ns the wrongs we suffer? Can it be
possible that “Georgia and the entire South, with
“ unexampled unanimity, will rally to the standard
•“ of the honest champion” of 6uch Republicanism
as this?
Can they ever do it until judgment shall
have tied “to brutish beasts, and men have lost
-their reason?” We say to our contemporary, let
us\reason with each other, as well as “counsel to
gether,” and that, too, without “bitterness of
-spirit,” but with a sincere, and earnest purpose
to ascertain the truth, and to discharge onr duty
with that patriotism which has an eye single to the
public good and the rescue of Public Liberty. If,
however, our cotemporary, backed by Georgia and
the entire South, shall, after such reasoning and
counseling, and having all the lights before them,
narrow the question in tho Presidential election
down to a choico between Greeley and Grant—be
tween ono of the chief originators of a most ruinous
policy, and one whose greate
It was with profound regret that we
read the above from Mr. Stephens. If
such is the spirit that is to animate the
Democracy in the coming contest, then
harmony and party concert are hopeless
ly gone, and defeat is inevitable. Let us
reason together to learn the truth, says
Mr. Stephens, anti-Greeley, to the Macon
Telegraph, for Greeley, but if the reas
oning don’t bring you to me, never will
I yield my views. Let ns counsel to
gether without bitterness to secure Lib
erty, says he, but if your counsel is to
prevail, my last word shall be “never.”
Let ns consult for the public good, but
my policy must be adopted, or the con
sultation fails. Let us have a confer
ence, he urges, for onr mutual welfare in
a great crisis, but I tell you beforehand
the conference is a mere farce, for I will
never consent to what you recommend.
We will reason and consult, but I in
form you frankly, that it must lead to
the adoption of my plan, or I won’t
agree. We will discuss the situation, he
proclaims, and your voice shall be heard
in arguiDg, but shall have no weight in
deciding the result. I will humor you
with the appearance of a consultation,
but it must only end in my will being
done.
With all respect for our distinguished
contemporary, a more disagreeable mock
ery could not be presented to the good
Democrats of the country by a good
Democrat. Such a spirit generally
acted upon is the resistless, sweeping
dissolution of the party, the utter waste
of its great power. It is deliberately
setting the pernicious example of a de
termined course to disintegrate the or
ganization.
Those who have favored Greeley have,
with exemplary moderation, declared
their purpose to yield their individual
views to the aggregate judgment, and
abide the action of the Baltimore Con
vention. What a rebuke is their con
ciliatory, sacrificing,.liberal spirit to this
hot rush to an irrevocable committal
this damaging example of uncompro
raising obstinacy of opinion, this almost
insulting proposition to the intelligent
men of the party to participate in the
comedy of a conference whose result is
predetermined, with a notification to a
large and worthy part of the party that
their views and voice will not be respected
or permitted to have weight.
What is the use of reasoning when the
matter is to go but one way? We do
most earnestly and respectfully protest
against this thing. We do full justice
, to the independence and honesty of our
great Democratic Georgia Nestor. We
have ever held him in strong esteem and
deep admiration. In this matter we re
coguiza his high purpose, as we do in
all things, but we have felt inexpressi
bly pained at, ia our kindly disposed
judgment, a most dangerous mistake,
and a damaging example of discord for
a party, on the threshold of a decisive
battle, with unity of action as the very
vital essential of success.
Weknow that there are many, both for
and against Greeley, who feel as Mr.
Stephens does. We do hope, however,
that none of them will thus irrevocably,
and we must be pardoned for saying,
unpatriotically commit themselves.
The most fatal effect of this sort of
example, coming from so high an au
thority, is that in the event of a straight
out nomination, the success of the De
mocracy will be imperiled, since this
example will have a tendency to drive
those who favor Greeley from the sup
port of the ticket. And Mr. Stephens
will be barred from a remonstrance
against bolting from party fealty that he
himself threatened and inaugurated.
We dose with golden words on this
very subject from the pen of a vigorous
writer for the Savannah News, who signs
himself “Poyntz.” Every word is worthy
of being written in gold:
“Never, in the whole course of our history, was
there a time when the declaration “united-we stand;
divided we fail,” applied with more force to onr
affairs than at the present juncture. Never was
there a time when it more became ns to he calm,
prudent and wise. A golden opportunity is offered
us. We are probably on that “tide in tho affairs of
men which, taken at the flood leads on” to what we
have long and ardently desired—once more an equal
voice in the councils of the nation. ShaR passion
rule us when we have so much need of the guidance
of reason? Shall party bickerings be renewed
among a people who have almost forgotten what
these thing* mean? Shall we allow onr enemies to
realize their last forlorn hope, and succeed, by di
viding us, in at length accomplishing that for which
they have now, during nearly a decade, been labor
ing in vain? Forbid it, common sense! Forbid it,
reasonl Forbid it, patriotism! Forbid it, the just
and merciful God that rnles the destinies of nations.

Incendiaries in Athens— 1 Tlic Fire De
partment.
Athens, Ga., May 25, 1872.
Dear Sun: I have made a flying visit
to this place. Athens was thrown into
considerable excitement last night by a
bold and villainous attempt to set fire to
one of the leading business blocks in the
city. About eleven o’clock a strange
white man was seen loitering about the
store of Center & Reeves; and when
questioned as to who he was, and what
he wanted, slipped suspiciously away.
In a few moments a fire was discovered
in a small wooden structure, adjoining
the store above-named, known as the
‘ Grady Building.”
Deupree’s Hall, just opposite, was
crowded with a tlirong of young people
in attendance on one of Prof.;Milam’s
pqpular dancing soirees, and persons in
thS windows saw the blaze as it flashed
up; and as the alarm was given saw the
incendiary run up the street. The fire
was immediately suppressed without
damage.
It was evidently the work of an expert,
for he had scattered oil on the floor and
kindled a pile of lightwood faggots. He
had also applied oil to a wooden building
and one or two other places farther up
the street, on the same square, but did
not have time to set them on fire.
A crowd turned out to hunt the mis
creant, but with poor success. A man
believed to be the offender was over
hauled soon after in the stable lot of
Gann & Reeves, and on his refusing to
surrender, a pistol was snapped at him,
when he promptly fired at his pursuers,
and made off in the dark towards the
river.
As several incendiary fires have occur
red in the same neighborhood during the
last two or three weeks (fortunately do
ing but little damage) it is believed that
some party or parties are determined to
destroy that part of the city.
We learn there is complaint by many
of the citizens because the town authori
ties have not provided first class facilities
for suppressing fires. There is no cistern
in- the threatened district, and the two
hand engines in the city, though ad
mirably manned, are old and behind the
times. It is believed that these warnings,
and a due consideration of the great
need pi the city on this subject, will lead
to the purchase of one or two steamers,
and to the construction of needed
cisterns.
We called upon Mr. Atkinson, of the
Southern Banner, and Gol. Christy, of
the Southern Watchman. Both these
gentlemen are holding on to their in
tegrity as Democrats. In haste,
On the Go.
P. S. A reward of $500 is offered for
the arrest of the incendiary.

THE CANDIDATE OF THE CINCINNATI CON
VENTION.
New Yoke, May 24, 1872.
Editors of the Atlanta Sun: The reply
of Horace Greeley to the officers of the
Convention which nominated him for
the Presidency of the United States, is
more remarkable for its expression of
sentimental generalities than it is for
definite political principles. For in
stance:
“ That all political rights and franchis-
“ es which have been acquired through
“ our late bloody convulsion, must and
“shall be guaranteed, maintained, enjoy-
“ed and respected evermore.”
Now, the question is, what are those
definite rights and franchises which have
been acquired through our late bloody
convulsion ? Do they include those set
forth in Mr. Sumner’s Civil Rights Bill—
so-called—or not ?
The second postulate is, ihat “All po
litical rights and franchises which have
been lost through that convulsion,
“ should and must be promptly re-estab
lished; so that there shall be, hence
“forth, no proscribed class—no disfran-
“ cbised caste within the limits of our
“Union, whose long-estranged people
“ shall re-unite and fraternize under the
“broad basis of universal amnesty with
“impartial suffrage. "
But Horace Greeley does not say what
political rights and franchises were lost
through that convulsion; nor does he
state who were the proscribed class; nei
ther does he designate the proscribers.
That, perhaps, was well, for he was one
of the chiefs.
But, furthermore, he does not state
what caste was disfranchised. It was on
ly those who possessed the franchise pre
viously tnat conld be disfranchised. The
word “disfranchised” means “deprived
of the rights and privileges of a free citi--
zen.” It was only the enfranchised that
could be disfranchised. And who did
more to effect this disfranchisement than
himself.
A venerable Kentucky Democrat ex
presses himself thus:
‘ ‘I am getting old. I cannot last long.
“I will soon step into the grave. I don’t
“ want to go to the other world and meet
“ our old Democratic neighbors, and tell
“ them I wound up my life by voting for
“a man who has abused our party all his
“days, and to whose infamous teach
ings, more than to those of any other
“man living, we owe the sad, sad, weep-
“ ing days of fire, and sword, and des-
“olation, and ruin of the past twelve
“years.”
Greeley has been for many years a po
litical and social heterogeneity, to whom
all isms and schims are hobbies for him
to ride on, and dismount from for what
ever next comes up. Yidi.

The Case of J. C. Norris. m
Editors Sun : The last sentence in my
communication which you published in
your paper of Saturday, 25th instant,
under the above heading, should have
read: “It was agreed by counsel that
Norris should be tried before the fall
term of this court, if any day suitable to
all the attorneys on both sides could be
fixed upon.”
By a typographical error, it reads; “It
was argued,” &c.
This arrangement, contemplating a
special session of Warren Superior Court
to try Norris at some early day, did re
ceive the assent of the States counsel,
after the Judge granted the motion of de
fendant's attorney for a continuance,which,
without such an arrangement, carries the
case to the fall term. Respectfully,

they still have the greatest respect, is

May,
Augusta has, up to the 24th, received
141,259 bales of cotton, being 41,977 less
than was received up to the same time
last year.
The Richmond county Democrats will
meet Wednesday (the 29th) to send dele
gates to the State Convention.
By a unanimous vote of the Board of
Edncation a resolution has been passed
to suspend the operations of the public
schools of the county from June 1st till
the 1st of October. The members of the
Board had no other course to pursue.
The old Board left a debt of nearly twen
ty-one thousand dollars, and there are
no means available with which this large
indebtedness can be liquidated. In the
meantime a detailed statement of the
indebtedness will be prepared by the
Superintendent, and the Board will do
everything in its power to pay all just
obligations.
The Chronicle and Sentinel, of Sunday,
reports:
On last Friday night or yesterday
morning a heavy robbery was perpetrated
at the Planters’ Hotel, in this city. It
appears that Mr. E. M. Rucker, of El
bert county, who has been a guest of the
Planters’ for the past few days, went into
his room before sapper Friday evening
and changed his coat, hanging the one
which he took off in the wardrobe. He
left in the pocket of the coat two one
hundred dollar bills and five hundred
dollars in smaller notes. Yesterday
morning he went to get some of the mo
ney and discovered that the two one hun
dred dollar bills had been stolen. The
theft was reported to the police, but at
last accounts no cine to the thief had
been obtained.
State of the Market.
There is a slight but steady advance in cotton. The
market now stands firm at 22%@23.
L»te rains hav3 been quite general, and reports
from various points bring cheering intelligence in
respect to the prospects of the cotton crop. Many
planters who bad chopped out their cotton, are
obliged to chop it out again.
The money market is easier. Collections are very
good. Business fair for the season. But little doing
in bonds and stocks.
Com has considerably advanced during the week,
but is now steady and strong at quotations. There
is not enough stock on band to supply the fair de
mand.
Hay is scarce and in moderate demand. New
clover hay is being received. The price is de
clining.
Flour remains stationary.
Meats are strong and stiff, with an upward ten-
dancy. Notmuoh demand.
There was a good trade in country produce last
week. The supply is rather limited. Butter is de
clining gradually.
The trade in dry goods is full as good as a year
ago. No change in prices this week; but bleached
goods have a tendency upwards.
Leather has slightly advanced in New York, but re
mains the same here. Country kips are in good de
mand.
Hardware is firm at quotations. The trade is
fair; the demand being good for the season. Har
vesting implements have about the usual sale of
previous years.
The live market is moderately active.
