t '■ rein, l»y exposing tho trick ? We ask
him candidly, if the expose, giving Gov
filden, lt:s friends and the Democratic party
an opportunity of knowing what is going
on, is not calc ulated to dftGov- Tilden and
hepanse of our National Democracy about jgncj 0 f tj l0 ability and efficiency with
.1 oi'sn «linni>)l llio navinent 1. !. • * 1 i .1.1
The Constitutionalist and the " Un
sophisticated Democratic Jour
nalists."
Col. Randall, of the Augt sta Constitu
tionalist, in his issue of the 1st inst., sav-
that, in our notice of the most contcmptibl*
proposition of Bates and Locke, Advertising
Agents, of New York, to publish, as ‘-quoterl
reading matter,” certain extracts from olhei
papers, favoring Guv. Tilden as the nontinet
of the St. Louis Convention, and charge the
same os advertisements, wo were “ Caught
in a trap by a Radical Mountebank.’’
Now, with all due deffereuee to that jterspi-
cuity which usually characterizes the Colonel's
waitings, we must say that the “ prose epic”
which he presents as a political lecture to
we “ unsophisticated Democratic journal
ists’’ is of such kaleidoscopic character, that
we not only fail to sect wherein he proves
that we have fallen into the “ cunuing pit*
fall” of a scheming New York advertising
agency’, but are actually at a loss to knu«
exactly what the Colonel d <es or seeks to
prove.
This dilemma, however, may be due to
the fact that we belong to the class of ye
” unsophisticated ” ' . ,
In order to do no injustice to Col. Randall's
review of the “ quoted leading mutter’’ ad*
vertisemeut propopositiun, and that it tuny
carry with it all the proof it is entitled to,
we will endeavor to note each reflection of
his editorial kaleidoscope.
In the first place, Col. Randall says:
•• For the past week or two, numbers of
Southern editors have l«een effervescing about
the tricky ch. racier of Gov. Tilden, mani
fested in 'trying to subsidize tho press of this
section by ottering through the New Inrk
advertising ugeucy of Bates and Locke, pay
ment—very small payo.ent, indeed—tor the
phhlicatiou <»t pulls from certain newspapers,
s -me of which had no existence outside the
fertile fancy of the agency firm alore.-aid.”
We have- watched very closely, the various
exchanges which come to .our office, to see
tho manner in which this attempt at sub
sidizing would be received, and in no instance
have we discovered the editorial *’efferves
cence” due to the supposed or “ manifested
tricky character of Gov. Tilden.” On the
contrary, tho general expression lias been
like that of Col. Randall, that it could ha’dlv
be believed that “ Gov. Tilden would pursue
such low arts.” Our friend seems rather to
lay some stress upon tho fact that the pay
ment offered, was “ very small payment in
deed.” Weil, what difference does this
make? Would not the principle be the
same, had the offer keen one thousand dol
lars or one huudred cents? Our most excel
lent journalistic instructor asserts that there
proffered political “ puffs, are from certain
news|wpcrs, some of which have no existence
outside the fertile fancy of the agency firm
aforesaid.” Of course we cannot undertake
to say that all the "quoted reading matter”
furnished the papers of Georgia was the
same or lrom the same papers, but the ex
tracts sent us were from the following papers:
Cincinnati Commercial, Louisville Courier-
Journal, Sau Francisco Call, X. O. Senti
nel and Guitle and the New York Tribune.
lr me gentleman wtn nniy tnbe the trouble
to examine Geo. P. l’.owell & Co’s Ainerieau
Newspaper Directory for a few years hack,
he will ti,.d all these papers advertised save
one, the AT. O. Sentinel and Guide, and
the absence of the name of this paper iii the
Co,

party.
Wo have now before us the twont
eighth Annual Report of this most reliable
Company, which is not only another evi-
t

is much good, even though the payment
.fferedf ^was very small payment indeed,”
.s tlio very decided views of some whose
advocacy of course is induced alone through
patriotism. Should Bates and Locke prove
nit Radical t.icksters and when they have
gathered in all the “indignant protests”
illicit have been uttered by " unsophisti
cated Democratic journalists ’’ conclude to
•embalm them in a campaign document for
the delectation of the Republican masses,”
we greatly hope they will give a prominent
position to our expose, and they ate more
than welcome to all the delight they can
find there n. On the other lir.inl, if per
chance matters should prove otherwise then
>ur “ pronuncinmento ” in the language ot
our esteemed friend will be “like a rhe
torical tocsin—a veritable 1 ’ fire bell in the
night.”
Col. Randall fiually concludes by citing
us to a leader in the New York World of
the 29th. of May, which he thiuks “ explo
des the whole conspiracy and gives a famuus
opportunity lor some of his over-credulous
contemporaries to eat a mouthful or two of
humble pie.” lie further commends us to
pu.stothc ,World's editorial in onr hat when
we go to exhibit “the Bates and Locke
Radical trick-communication” at St. Louis,
as a Centennial record and curiosity. He
also requests that should Pktuolkom V.
Nasby answer out letter, in his own peculiar
style, that we publish it iu the Georgian
for general inspection. Thinks it will serve
a wholesome warning against the “ ways that
are dark, and tricks that are vain ” and for
which Bates and Locke are peculiar.”
Wo respectfully submit that it is hardly
|K)s*ihle that the World being sold out for
the especial advocacy of one particular
Presidential candid te, would open the cam-
|«ign or commence its electioneering career,
under a plighted faith, by seeking to aid Gov.
Tilden the very candidate it seeks to defeat,
hv exploding conspiracies, which it supposes,
have been coticorcted for his damage. It is
rarely the case that papers which have
been purchased os the special organ of a
particular candidate, arise to so high a patriot
ism. Now Colonel, is it possible, after you
have so kindly and generously instructed us
against the trickery and traps of Radical
Muuutebnnks and scheming political adver
tising agencies, that you now want us to be
caught in the trap of the New York Worldl
Well as the Colonel’s kaleidoscope, has re
flected the Ho,'MV editorial in the same
light with " Bates and Locke’s Radical trick-
communication,” and as we believe them
well suited to go together, we will heed his
recommendation and take them both aloug
with us to St. L mis. Suppose Colonel, by
way of inquiry, that Petkolf.um V. Nasby
fails to answer our letter in his own peculiar
style, and the "embalmed campaign docu
ment” (Joes not appear for Republican de
lectation, what theu? Must we take our
letter aloug to St. Louis ns “ a rhetorical
tocsin—a veritable “ fire hell in the night” of
our political despair and corruption ? Do
you think the alarm would rally the Tilden
brigade, or give Petroleum V an oppor
tunity far aunt her " pra.-tir-nl - jnUo’’ ntul
some of our more experienced Democratic
journalists, a slice of the " humble pie?”
Now, most worthy contemporary, in all
candor we would ask, what did you propose
to prove? That this being a Radical trick
ive ought not to have exposed it ? Or per-
wliicli it is managed, but shows the busi
ness of the Company steadily on the in
crease. As we have before said, this is the
strongest Insurance Company in America,
and as proof thereof; we produce the fol
lowing showing: It has declar. d a divi
dend of .fifty per cent, for several years
jiajt, amounting in the aggregate, last year,
to £111,115.48, and this year, to $114,-
377.85. Tlie-c amounts being absolute
savings to the patrons of the Company, as
well as to the busiucss interest of the State.
Notwithstanding the present financial
embarrassment in the country has made its
impress upon every clianel of busines--, the
Southern Mutual in this, its last Annual
Report, shows, cash received for premiums,
$.134,891.54 against 8228,551.13 re
ceived for premiums last year. Making
an increase of 86,840.41 in its business of
the past tw elve months. The amount ot

The Presbyterian Concert.
We regret not beiug able to present the
programme of this concert, to be given on
Friday night next at Deupree Hall, but de
sire to call the attention of our entire com
munity thereto:
This entertainment is to be given in the
interest of the Presbyterian church, whose
financial necessities have culled to its
tance those friends, who possessing the
highest order of musical talent, have con
cluded to apply it in behalf of this Christian
enterprise. A most commendable feature
in this entertainment and oue which should
elicit an interest on the part of our whole
people, is the fact that upon examining the
programme we find the list of performers
representing the different religious denomi
nations in our niid.-t. We repeat it, how
beautiful a feature is here presented. ' Each
denomination feeling an interest in the other,
without selfishness and with that spirit of
true Christian charity and uuity of action in
behalf ot Christian enterprise, which make
our church relations one of the most pleasing
and attrative characteristics of Athens, con
tributes their united efforts in the interest
of a sister church. The concert will he un
der the superintendence of Professor Amende,
who together with the ladies and gentlemen,
whose names will appearon the program me and
whose musical talent is fully recognized
throughout our community, have taken much
pains to prepare a musical treat never before
excelled if ever equalled in the history of
Atheuian entertainments This is by no
means an extravagant statement hut a per
fectly safe promise, as the list ot performers
and the arrangement of the programme will
fully attest. To say nothing of the excel
lence which this entertainment promises bv
way of its lady contributors, it will be well
worth the admission fee to hear the Quartette
of gentlemen, who officiate on the occas’< n

Moody andSankey and Methodism —

converts made daring that period of religiou-

clergr that revivals do not reach the public
heart as well as the regular church mission

United Slates Admiral Porter, in testify
ing before the Naval Cnmmittee.of Congress,
said that the condition of the navy was due
to extravagance, incompetence, and igno
rance of naval architecture. The reckless
ass-ts- expenditure of money upon designs by naval
constructors unfit for their office, Jiad put the
navy in an awful plight. Money enough had
been appropriated to have given the country
a fair navv, but gross mismanagement bad
deprived the country of suitable vessels for
this important branch of the public service.

"Who Bates is, we know not; hut Locke is a
notorious Radical humorist, who can be ti. t-
ter identified ns Petroleum V. Nasby. the
staple of whose writings is a contempt of
everything Southern and Conlederate. That
such a creature had had authority from Gov.
Tilden or his triends to pursue such low arts,
we never believed; but it seemed very pal
pable that his ol jcci was to damage the New
York Executive as a Presidential candidate,
l\Vsetting acunning pitfall tor unsophisticated
Democratic journalists. Into this trap not a
few of them have lalleu, and as Mr. Petro
leum V. Nasby Locke is a practical joker,
they may reasonably ex|iect to have their
"indignant protests” embalmed in a cam-
pa gu document far the delectation ut the

We must confess our inability to perceive
how tho fact, that Ixie-ke is the identical
Petroleum V. Nasby, “the notorious Radi
cal humorist, the practical joker, the staple
of whose writiugs is a contempt of everything
Southern and Confederate,” makes him any
the less n fully recognized advertising agent.
The firm of Bates and Locke is, beyond
question, a Iona fide advertising agency of
New York,city, and if they have authority
to send out one character of advertisements,
(commercial for instance,) and the honesty
to pay for them, have we a right to question
the authority with which they conduct their
political advertising and tiieir responsibility in
meeting the payments therefor ? If we pro
scribe, renounce or question the authority
and responsibility' of Northern adverti-ing
agencies on account of their (political senti
ments, esjiecially towards us of the South,
we apprehend the advertising columns of
mnny Georgia papers, if not those of the
Constitutionalist, would be more devoted to
the a Ivertisemcnt of home industry nod
Southern enterprise.
Our worthy contemporary does not say,
that this ngenoy, teas not authorised by
Gov, Tilden or bis friends, but simply that
Tee 1 does not believe thjey had any such
auihority. Nor does he say that it is a
Radical trick to damage his chosen can

The charge of corruption against Mr Kerr,
speaker of the House of Representatives,
turns out to be a miserable scandal. It ap
pears that ono Harney, a doorkeep.-r of the
House, promised one Greene, of New York,
an appointment from Mr. Kerr, provided he
(Greene) wojld |ay a certain amount of
money which he (Harney ) said was te go to
speaker Kerr. .This flimsey attempt to
malign the character of one whom the whole
country has ever regarded as sans peur et
sans reproche has give i Mr. Kerr but little
concern. The evidence before the investigat
ing committee goes fully to prove that the
money found sale lodging in the pecket of
the self-confessed rascal Harney, who after
having duped the unsuspecting Greene, ren
ders himself doubly atrucions in the attempt
to escape just condemnation by victimizing
an official of unblemished character;
