DEAD OF THE: ULl’E."
To-Jay has been set apart, as we
stated in an editorial of yesterday’s
Suit, for the decoration of the graves
of Federal soldiers. Preparations, on
a grand scale, have been on loot in
the Federal Capital for the decora
tion at Arlington. On Sunday, the
18th, it was announced in the Wash
ington City papers that it was de
signed to decorate the graves of Con
federate soldiers at the same place
and at the same time. This an
nouncement seems to have created
much disatisfaction among certain
classes at Washington which has
given rise to much controversy. We
publish, by request of the writer, a
communication which has appeare
in the Washington (D. C.) Sunday
Gazette on the subject, which ex
plains itself. We propo-e to add a
a few more remarks to what we
yesterday said on the same subject.
If the people of the two sections—
the people whose sympathies went in
opposite directions in the late war—
are to be fraternized, it may as well
l*e understood at once and forever
that neither party are expected to
am render to oblivion the memories
of those near and dear to them who
saciificed their lives in what they be
lieved to be the cause of right.
Neither side will ever do so. Popular
sentiniint must be brought to under
stand that whlie all good men are will
ing to bridge over the past by accord
ing to each other honest and patriotic
motives, they are not willing to turn
with silence from the graves of those
wiio were the defenders of the side of
the question they espoused and advo
cated. Any attempt to act differ
ently will only defeat the end desired
by all who would now soothe the
a. polities engendered in the strife
that separated them as implacable
enemies.
There are Federal and Confederate
graves at Arlington. The custom
of decorating soldiers’ graves is of
Southern origin. There i* no reason
that we can see that the day can be
desecrated by the mere placing of
floral tributes on the graves of all
alike—the Confederate as well as the
Federal. It is not a right spirit that
would prohibit either; if is not
only wrong but uninauly o at
tempt either by any order or inter-
fe r ence ot any sort from any source.
If the friends of the Federal dead are
disposed to pay such devoted tribute
to the memory of Union soldiers in
our Southern cemeteries, buried, as it
were, side by side, with the Con-
fedrates, on the same day that we do
so, we do not see that it would be the
slightest cause of complrin: upon our
part, so that neither attempted in no
way to disturb the ceremonies of ‘•.he
other in their performance of so
sacred a duty.
We discuss this subject in no bitter
spirit, but with the sole motive that
the dead of the “grev” and „lie dead
of the “blue” shall be" alike respected,
North or South. As long as tne peo
ple of either section allow the asperi
ties engendered by the war to pro vent
proper respect tc the memory of the
the korth-eait oeobbias.
This paper still admires the man
ner in which Gen. Oanby was treach-
erously killed by the Modocs. This
is the reason it gives:
A gentleman related to ns, a few days
since, an act of Canby’a that may per
haps open the eyes of those who were so
prompt to confemn ooi words. He said
that on one occasion, after the surren
der, Canby had a respectable white gen
tleman tied up by the thumbs for kick
ing a vagabond negro in ti e face for in
solence, and kept him tied np lor some
time. All wbo have ever seen this pun
ishment inflicted know it to be the se
verest torture to which a human can be
subjected.
We, perhaps, had as little affection
for Gen. Canby as did the editor of
the Athens Georgian. He was a
rigorous man, and handled men who
fell into his hands ivery roughly, for
which we then condemned him.
Because he acted wrong and bru
tally, we do not see that his acts
should be the excuse for others to do
so, even towards Gen. Canby himself.
Oppression or treachery is despicable
in the eyes of all good men. The
broth lity of Canby maybe condemned
with the same intensity that treach
ery may be.
The killing i f Canby by the Modocs
was very treacherous. Such conduct
is nut approved by any good man,
even though Canby was the victim.
We think the Georgian exhibited
very bad taste in itsgloriticaiion over
the murder in cold blood of Canoy.
Crime is not a viitue in the Modocs
any more than it was in the conduct
of Canby.

The Memph s Avalanche, a paper
that is neither Democratic nor Repub
lican, but is anything if it cannot
scent the strongest thing, politically,
says :
The Atlanta buN—not “A. H. S.,”
bar the “’totherestGovernor.” »sRo 4 ue
Ridtrhood would say—is evidently pre
paring for the dropping of “Democracy”
as a party name.
The Avalanche also says “The
Sun’s delusion is in mistaking its
effete Bourbonism for ihe “leal arti
cle” of Democracy.
We have no idea that we shall be
called upon to drop “Democracy” as
a pa-ty name, so 'ong as the term is
so thoroughly expressive of the prin
ciples of flee government upon which
our political doctrines are based.
No other name would be half so sig
nificant of the real principles of the
liberty-loving people of this contiuen t
nor of the world.
What the Avalanche says of "Bour
bonism” is so childlike and pettish,
so ridiculously absurd as to proper
meaning in regard to genuire De-
mocraev, that we let it rest in the
conceited brain that never conceived
nor appreciated a Democratic princi
ple.

This is not the case. The lobby
assembles here, when the Legislature
meets, and it would be in Milledge-
vil'e if the Capitol was tuere. The
“lobby ring” is no more an Atlanta
institution than a Milledgeville insti
tution.
This ring is composed of migratory

enough in Milledgeville to frighten

Editor of the Sunday Morning Gazette:
Since the notice given in your oolnmns
of last Sunday of s design to decorate
the Confederate graves at Arlington on
the SO r h instant, there has been mani
fested a spirit of meanness and personal
as well as party animosity little antici
pated at the time of penning that notioe.
Some has even gone so far as to resort
to personalities and vituperative abase
of the writer, because he had the ” pre
sumption,” nnder the “flaming sword ”
of tne Grand Army of the Republic—
the would-be custodians of oar American
liberties—15 even propose to bury the
tomahawk and sheath the swords of sec
tional discord and to smoke the pipe of
peace, that harmory and concord might
once more pervade our common country,
North, Sontb, East, and West.
I cannot better express my views of
this whole matter tnan reiterating what
1 said in my communication to the Na
tional Republican <>f the 20th inst. I
then said: “ For in tne beautiful rhetoric
of the late lamented Chief Justice Chase.
* The Magnolia lavishes its perfumes as
freely, the pleasant air breathes as softly,
and the warm sun smues as brightly
over Confederate as over Union graves.’
And in common with Mr. Chase and
other noble minds I have no sympathy
with the spirit that actuates those wh >
concord in sentiment wit > *hs author of
those which appeared in your columns of
this morning. It is spawned of night and
possessed of the restless, wandering spirits
of Judas *nd Arnold, who, willing to sell
the King of Heaven and the birthright
of mac, may lie judged of heaven as (too
mean for jhell.
“Nor, Mr. Editor, did I scop to in
quire, much less to asK, of the Grand
Army of the Republic the privilege of
strewing flowers over either Union or
Confederate graves. It is tine the nay
is one set apart by the Grand Army for
rhe decoration of their fellow-comrades
who fell fighting nobly and bravely for
toe emse of the Union. But because of
this fact is it any reason why the graves
of the Confederate soldies in the Arling
ton cemetery should ’ e treated with les.
res ect than the Union graves are treated
iu more Southern cemeteries, or Con>ed-
erates whose regains repose in Federal
c meteries at Richmoni, Raleigh,
Charleston, Savannah, Angusta, Atlanta,
Louisville, and other places in the South
ern Staes? Wuy should the Confeder
ate soldiers* he denied the poor privilege
at Arlington Oi strewing the graves oi
their dead comp<nioLs in arms witn
flower.-*, when they are unmolestedly per
mitted to do so elsewhere? It is not the
‘lost cause’ that they would commem
orate. It is a simple tribute of respect
to those who in life were dear to them as
fellow companions in arms.
“There is iu this solemn ceremony pro
posed no ostentatious display, no speeches
to be made, no parading of bands ol
music or sounding cf trumpets to disturb
in the least the ceremonies of the Grand
Army. No, there is no such thing pro-
posed. We merely propose to strew
flowers over the graves of the Confed
erate dead at Arlington on the same day
mat the Grand Army do those of the
Union soldiers, for two reasons: first,
hecaui-e th*re are many of us who desire
to ne present at the ceremonies of deco
rating Union graves, and while th**re
'o decorate the those of .he (Jomederate
ead; and, s condly, we desire to test
ihe question of the rights of American
el izeus to peaceably assemble iu the con
scientious discharge of a high moral
duty,” and witnout fear or molestation
pay a tribute of love to the memory of
the dead, and of respect to the living
mends of those who are sleeping the last
bleep at Arlington, and who would, if
present, water the flowers strewn 'upon
these neglected graves with the warm
tears oi filial affection.
Motners and fathers, wives and sisters,
think of your buried jewels, in some dis
tant graveyard ! Will you not, then, do
unto others as you would have others do
unto yours ? Then, dear friends, let U3,
iu the spirit of love and forgiveness, hope,
at least, that wiser councils will prevail,
and that our humble designs on this oc
casion tnay meet with snccess, and that
the peace and quiet or this patriotic oc
casion may not dc disturbed, (and it shall
not be so tar as we are concerned;) nor
may ic cause even any of the Grand Ar
my to violate the peace by executing
thtir threats of violence upon our hum-
lueself; for let me assure tha; august as
sociation that there is neither man nor
woman who proposes to engage in this
tribute of love mat Uas not the kindest
sympatUy with them in this noble work.
It is a custom that had its origin in the
South daring the hays of the rebellion.
We love the custom that commemorates
the deeaB oi the brave.
With this view oi the subject, and the
proud satisfaction of our tnutnpu, we
shall go to Arlington on the 30th instant,
and m common with others, unt’er the
magnanimous order of the Quartermaster-
General, which “opens the national ceme
teries to all well-behav d persons, citi
zens or strangers, who desire to visit
them,” and strew flowers alike upon
Federal and Confederate graves. If,
however, we should be denied the privi
lege of strewing the graves of the Con
federate dead by authority of the Quar
termaster-General or the Grand Army,
we shall retire peaceably as we went, with
out disturbing the peaoe and harmony of
the occasion. We shall in no way be
guilty of a breach of the peace or disturb
m the least the solemnity of tne proceed
ings. We can, at least, if denied one of
the objects of our visit, strew flowers on
the graves of the Union Soldiers, whose
deeds of valor we honor, and whose
memory we cherish, while we loathe the
'yottroon whose fealty to his government
or his loyalty to his party is measured by
the political favors it bestows upon him,

Tne New York World discusses tlw the-
ory of protection with the Cincinnati
Commercial, aud says: When protection
can explain and ' justify the loss of the
purchasing power of the farmer’s produc
tion, it may with some snow of reason
exult over the decrease of exportations as
a sign of the prosperity of the country.
At present we hardly think it can be con
soling to the farmer, who has not only
to pay double for all he consumes of
manufactures, but must find a surplus of
export in order to pay ft»r the tea, coffee,
sugar and raw materials consumed by his
masters, the protected manufacturers.

ANOTHER HEAVY LaW SCIT.
The Chalybeate Springs Involved.
It wifi be remembered that some
months since Mr. Isaac Clituey, of Talbot
county, died after returning fiom a pleas
ure trip to Florida, and that he lefts
very large amount of property, including
the celebrated Cualybeate Springs, situa
ted in Meriwether county, in this State.
His dea'h was unexpected, and being a
stout, hale and hearty man,
HE DIED INrESTATE,
that is, leaving no will. A heavy suit is
now pending, the facts being about as
follows, our informant learning them
rom a prominent lawyer of Middle
Georgia: During Lis life time, Judge
Cheney had by a verbal promise given
these Springs to Mrs. Porter, a niece of
his wife, (ov whom fie came in posses
sion of the bulk of the estate, and his
wife also being dead,) and had repeatedly
declared that he had given this property
to Mrs. P. Aft ir his death,

on the estate, and took charge of the
assets, except the Springs, wh ch were
in the possession of this good lady, and
which she refused to give up, claiming
title as above stated, A short time since
the administrator filed a oill against Mrs.
Porter, praying for the appointment of a
receiver to take charge of the ertate, and
to restrain her from the use of the prop
erty, which was presented to Judge
Buchanan, and from the statement made
to us, wo presume he granted
A PERMANENT INJUNCTION.

gather, overlooked a recent statute grant

to show cause at a specified time, why
the process should not be ma le perma

Court, the receiver proceeded to the

perhaps, which has been made returnable
to the Superior court of Meriwether
county. The court-house in Greenville
has long been noted for the fierce legal
battles decided there, but none have been
fought which created more interest than
this one will, as there is a vast amount
of property involved, and the legatees ot
Judge Cheney and those of his deceased
wife are the litigants. This is
