The Republican Convention of this State
was convened in the City of Atlanta last
week, and alter a tumultuous session of
two days, adjourned sine die on Thursday
about midnight. The platform adopted by
this Convention, and which as a matter of
curiosity, we will publish next week, as a
parly document, shows the extent of Radi*
cal desperation and in the language of the
Atlanta Times, “ Liken as a whole for its
paity \ iruleuce and perversion of the trutli
of history, and of the ) resent condition of
thiugs at the South, is without a parallel.”
This pronuuciainCuto is but a forerunner oi

TILDEN AT HOME.
The Democratic Convention at Utica,
New York, made a most Conservative pre
sentation of Gov. Tflden’s claims for the
Presides ial nomination, ill the following
resolution: .
“The Democratic party of New York
sntrgcst, with respectful deference to their
bretluren in other States, and with a cordial
appreciation of other renowned Democratic
statesmen, faithful like him to their princi
ples o public trusts, that the nomination of
Samuel J. Til den to the office of President
would insure the vote ot New York, and
would be approved throughout the Union.”
Tlie Democracy -of the political Empire,
as New York claims to be, evidently bear*
in mind the fact that the last three Demo
cratic candidates chosen from their State,
liave in each instance, led the party to de
feat. While New York is justly proud of
the record of her Governor and would like
to see him put forward by the St. Lout-
Convention for the Presidency, still, she
risely leaves it for some other State to
force bis claims upon the party. Ohio will
hardly assume the responsibility with
Thurman in the field, notwithstanding, in
the three instances allndcd to, she had more
'to do with putting forward the New York
candidates, than did theStateof New York.
Whether the Conservatism of New York
will strengthen the position of Governor
Tilden liefore the St. Louis Convention, or
whether this wise and patriotic course, to
gether with the evident confusion in Ohio,
will make better tbc chances of Hendricks
and Bayard, remains to be seen.
As to what will be the solution of the
political problem which will be presented
to the National Convention, cannot be fore
told. Trusting to the wisdom, the patriot
ism and the statesman-like conservatism of
that body, we can only wait in patience

An Enthusiastic Impropriety.
It a came Ge good nothing gives greater
strength thereto, than theexeuiseofjiroprie-
tv ou the part of its friend.-. Any cause,
even the holiest may suffer more from friemls
who «xenit-e zeal wit hunt propriety, and
devotion without dL-cretion, ti.an from eue
mies who are in «i|>en hostility. Tims, hav
ing laid down a proposition which cannot lie
gaim-ayed and coming at once to the .-ul jec 1
matter uud. r consiileration, we assume the
re-pon.-ihility ot stating, that, the recent im
propriety on the part of some of our g >oii
and will meaning citizens in inviting Mr.
Moody the gnat New England evangelist or
revivalist to visit Athens, is, or was, only
cancelled by his declining to accept the in
vitation. Far be it from our purpose to say
that which would in the slightest degree
dampen the religious ardor or zeal of those
friends who were induced to extent this in
vitation. But with so many good and able
advocates of the cause ol Christianity among
our own people, and boasting a community,
peculiar, by reason ot the absence ot tbai
enthusiasm which would lend them to run
wild or imprudently after strangers, we must
express our regret, (and we apprehend we
are not alone in this lecling >, that a delega
tion should have been sent all the way to
Augusta to insist upon Mr. Moody’s visi
ing Athens It may be asked, wherein con
sists the impropriety of this invitation? Not
that we question for a moment the sincerity,
the religion or the honesty of purpose of this,
traveling revivalist, nor do we doubt hl-
ahility for doing good in his particular
f| here aud in his proper place. But is it
i.ot casting a reflection upon, or showing a
want of confidence, in the religious ageneits-
with which we are so fortunately supplied?
From the peculiar characteristics of our peo
ple and the particular sentiments which
they entertain, are not our own preachers
more likely to imj ress them religiously, than
Le who is a stianger, es|iecially one who held
the |io>ition of Major in the ranks of those
who so recently were arrayed against us in
unrighteous aud sauguiary conflict? Hail
Mr. Moody voluntarily conte in our midst
theu, with a commendable spirit of forgive
ness which is but a true sentiment of relig
ions impression, “as a stranger, we should
have taken him in,” and as an evangelist,
we should have liecded hs admonitions.
This would have been in oliedience to divine
iujuctioii, but nowhere are we commanded
to run or seek alter strangers. Let us rather
avail ourselves of the gospel agencies with
which wc are blessed, and with a proper ap
plication of the wholesome influences with*
which we are surrounded, we will ex|*rienre
no lack a religious interest or feel the ne
cessity of foreign evangelical advocacy.
P. 8.—Since writing the above we liave
received a communication from Augusta
signed “Omega” which we elsewhere
present and -to which we respectfully
cal! attention. The writer of this commu
nication' is a gentleman well known
in this community, and to establish, beyond
doubt, in the miud of every one. thealoolute
correctness ofthestatements therein contained,
it would only be necessary to give the name
of the author. In reading this commuuica
lion the thought at once forces itself upon
our stud, is it not mare than likely that
our Radical haters and oppressors at the
North have sent this man in our midst for
partisan purposes and political deviltry ?
Such sentiments as he is said to entertain
aud is seeking to promulgate in our midst
tre well calculated to lead us to such a con
clusion. We have heretofore advised,
that our people should not allow
themselves to be entrapped by such diaboli
cal schemes of our pul.tical enemies, thereby
furnishingjpolitical or party capital for Unprin
cipled-Radicalism. But when the cause rl
Chii-tirnity, the Holy religion of Christ, I-
sought to be made a means or medium
through which to advance unrighteous, un
principled, Mgpmstitutional and government
destroying dogmas, then we feel no longer a
hesitancy in speaking out our views and
sentiments, and together with a common.
Failure of the Compulsory Educa
tion Movement in England,
A London correspondent to the New York
Wo rid, reports the bill of Mr. Dixon for ex
tending the present school-board system into
all the counties, as defeated by a large majori
ty. The writer says:
“ At the bottom of this revubion of
feeling conctrning «duration i>, perhaps,
to lie tnuuri the revived faith in the
dogma that the father of a child and not
the State is its proper guardian. Combined
with this is the growing opinion that “edit-,
lion ” is not, in itself, a blessing, and that
all depends upon what sort of an education tion
He might have added that at the liottom
of this revolution in the educational express
ion of EnglaiM is to be set n a revival of that
-ectarian or denominational sentiment which
controlled the educational as well as every
other interest of the kingdom, during the
reig:; of James the second. The TForM’s
correspondent continues:
‘‘There is one stubborn fact w hich certainly
is worthy of some consideration by the enthu
siastic advocates of universal education, and
it may be thus stated: There never was a time
when wliai it called “education” was
so general as it now is. and there never was
a tune when wickedness was so generates it
now is. The wickedness, also, is just ot
that type which education of the school -
hoard kind makes easy. It is the wicked
ness of |«ople who have lieen taught just
nouuh to make them discontented, impa
tient of proverty, unwilling to follow the old
and safe paths, eager to accomplish in an
hour, by a trick or a fraud, what their fa
thers would been glad to achieve by years of
self-denying toil. However, it need not be
supposed that any retrograde steps in the
matter of education in England are to be at
tempted. But it is the iulention of the
present Government to put a break on the
eugine and to do what is possible to check
the somewhat arrogant demands of the se
cularists. The school boards for the last
two years liave Been acting as if it were
their* mission to crush out the denomination'
al and private schools, and to set up a sys
tem ot state institutions into which every
child must be driven. This attempt to place
the abstraction called “thestate” in the
domain hitherto held by tne parent and hy
the church, is to be resisted, and the denomi
national aud private schools are to be en-
couraged instead of being threatened with
extension.”
This change of opinion in regard to the
school system, ot England, is of no small
-iguiflcance, and underlying it all may be
the gathering-storm of Catholicism which
again may set aside the oath of supremacy
in Great Brittain and supplanting the power
of the King, assert tho supremacy of the
Pope in the ecclesiastical aud secular govern
ment of England.
The New York Herald in an editorial
on ‘‘Presidential Politics,” aud in which it
ably and forcibly seta forth the fact that
he Centennial anniversary will prove
rather the celebration of political enthu
siasm than historical sentiment, the present
asserting its supremacy over the past, the
absorbing interest of a Presidential contest
eclipsing- the memories of tho Revolution,
gives utterance to the following rather pa
triotic sentiment:
“Aside from tiiis want of consonance be.
tween the modem and the liio rieal, and
lietwecn the cosmopolitan and the national
tone of a raiment, it is iinfortannte that the
Centennial of onr Independence happens to
'all in the year of a Presidential election.
A heated political canvass which kindles
the passions, jealourie^and latter party ani
mosities of our people is not propitious to
•t revival of that common feeling of patirot-
ism which ought to be excited by the ser
vices of the Cithers of the Republic. If
there were public virtue enough to hash
partisan strife during this interesting anni
versary, the Presidential election of 1876
would lie indeed a noble and inspiring spec
tacle. .Wliat strength and animationVonld
lie imparted to patriotic sentiment if this
i’residential contest conld be conducted in
the true spirit of tile anniversary! What,a

Auoubta, Ga., May 6th, 1876.
Editor Athens Georgian:—I have seen a
number of paragraphs in the Augusta papers
and elsewhere to the effect that Mr. Moody
had been urgently invited to visit Athens be
fore returning North. Ol course the people
of your city will do as they see fit in the mat
ter, and it may lie that the “Evangelist”
will be induced to honor you with a call.
But as your citizens may not be as well post
ed in regard to this gentleman’s antecedents
and present political sentiments as we who
have had him among us for two weeks past,
I propose to submit a few facts upon this
subject for the consideration of your readers.
Without further preface, then, I will state
that Mr. Moody is a Radical. Now Mr. M’s
views upon political questions, however un
popular they may be with the Southern
people would, perhaps, furnish no legitimate
cause lor censuring the preacher, provided he
kept hie sentiments to himself. But un-.
fortunately that is just what lie doesn’t do.
He has made himself obnoxious to our
|ieopie on several occasions by thrusting
upon them his peculiar ideas in regard to the
relations of tho white and black races. This
he has usually done adroitly and by insinua-
But on one orca-ion, al last, he came
out boldly and shewed himself in his true
colors. Soon after Mr. Moody’s arrival io
Augusta, open-air meetings w« re held whit h
were largely attended by the colored popula
tion as well as the whites. It soon proved
exceedingly disagreeable for the latter to be
suudwiched among their black neighbors. It
was then decided hy a committee of which
one of our Methodist pastors (a distinguished
ex-Confederate officer) was chaiitnan, to es
tablish a practical color line in the shape of
a dividing fence. Mr. Moody objected to
this, saving “ there was no such division in
heaven and there should be none here.”
The pastor told him our people were not ac
customed to mingling promiscuously with
the colored people and couid not be induced
to attend unless arrangements were made to
separate them. Whereupou Mr. Moody re
marked : “ I see you liave not overcome the
spirit of rebellion.” To which the pastor re
plied ; “If opposition to social equality,
means rebellion, then we don’t expect to until
v e die.” As might be supposed the reverend
gentleman who had this conversation with
Mr. Moody has participated as little in the
subsequent meetings as was consistent with
tiis clerical office.
I have related this incident substantially
as 1 gut it from a most reliable source. A
strong effort has been made to hush the
matter up, hy those who were instrumental
in having Mr. Moody invited to Augusta.
But the facts are gaining circulation; and
much indignation is felt and warmly ex
pressed—especially by the young men.
Many of the older people say they do not
like the man or his political principles; but
rather than throw a “ stumbling block” in
the way ot any one’s salvation, now that the
meetings are in progress, they will suppress
their feelings.
As far as I am aware, nothing more can
be charged against Mr. Whittle than tliat he
was au officer in Sbei man’s array when it
passed through Georgia an its “ March to
the Sea.” Some writer in one of our city
papers hinted that as Angusta was blessed
with a number of faithful and able local
preachers, the section desolated hy Sherman’s
army offered a more appropriate field for
Evangelistic labors. Up to the present
moment, the hint has not been acted upon.
As. to Mr. Moody’s preaching, the people
here are generally greatly disappointed in
him. He baa a rapid, energetic delivery:
is fluent, sometimes forcible and nearly al
ways ungrammatical. He has a. great fund
of anecdotes taken from Sunday School
bi.oks, some of which are jocular and others
serious. These he manages uP bring in
wheuever the attention of his audience he-
S *n» to flag. But unfortunately for Mr.
<>ody nearly all of the anecdotes upon
which he reiieaen much, have been told until
they have become stale, bv the numerous
Evangelista from the North, who have
visited Augusta within the last two years.
It is said be goes hack to the land of his
fathers on Monday, unless Athens can offer
sufficient inducements for him to tarry there
awhile.
