Tut young men of Georgia are con¬
tributing liberally ami nobly to the fund
"o'tmild the monument to Grady. This
is well, but the monument he erected
for himself—his character and fame—
will be one more illustrative of the man
and last almost as long as mr-ble or
bronze.
Kx-Pui-'.mdknt Davis’ article on
dersonvific and otlier War Prisons"
came out in the last issue of llelfortl’s
Magazine. In it-Mr. Davis gives facts
in plain language that cannot he refit
ted and they should tend greatly to les
sen the abuse which has for thc past
qnarter of a century boon heaped upon
the South for its supposed treatment of
war prisoners.
Elsewhere in an artii*!e headed
“Dixie growing richer,” somej start¬
ling furores are given. It reads like a
tab* of the West some few years ago,
but there is a difference in that thc
increase in Dixie is substantial and per¬
manent. And best of all it vn'l create
a further and greater increase in ‘he
next half decade. WHO will find the
South thegreatest mamifaetning section
on the globe.
The most complete and creditable
trade issue we have yet seen is the one
issued in December by thc Macon F.vc
ning News. It is a compendium of
information such as is sought for by
new-comers, a true index of the pros
perity of Macon, Georgia and the South
ami ujion the whole oue of the best
gotten up papers both as to matter and
typography that has yet been issued
from any press in the state. It shows
the magic touch of Macheo.

people, inflamed them with passion
and poison and keeps asunder the SOB

A current of thought that will kindle
appreciation for the genial influences of
a great heart, pulsating with love for
his kind and throbbing with affection
for his fellows and radiating, like the
king of day, its softening light and mel¬
lowing touch everwhere, reflecting no

wonderful manhood and unfurling of his
j matchless talents to speak for the cause
of humanity and not for sectional
j trumph—to file the plea of patience,!
and not foment strife with impatience
for political purposes; and bear the ti
dings of fraternity and universal broth
erhood and not nurture bitterness and
discontent for personal advancement.
A current of thought in which a pan.

olllcial etiquette and party policy;

; moot and unencumbered in his indi
I vidual sovereignty—the onc unique in
his wonderful mental endowment and
irresistible in the adroit execution of
his purpose; the other sparkling and
j brilliant, but rounded and complete in
his mental gifts and directing with ease
and grace, those within the circle of his
magnetic presence—thc one rising to
first place in the affection of his people,
after long probation; the other abiding
at once in the hearts of his countrymen
—the one always natural, but some-
llme b e ai a ans , ulur; lhe othcr
always easy, graceful and gentle-the
one developed in a revolution of arms;
the other in a revolution of ballots.
Strikingly dissimilar, vet there is a sil
ver current that runs through their
lives that will make them inseparable
for immortality—the love of humanity,
in this is their similitude—for it ootni
nated their natures and directed
lives—it transported each beyond the
coniines of section and carried each
vond the perifery of self. The love of
human nature and the affection for
their kind made both at once a states
man, a patriot and a man. It in¬
spired Lincoln to pour the oil of peace
upon the broken sections of our coun¬
try—curb the bitter partisanry of those
about him—invoke peace and good will
and the restoration of fellowship and
fraternity; and it inspired Grady to
deeds of love and charity—-to pat riotic
purposes and . , to , uigu . , and , lofty , r . COUU
sel and both yielded their life with
the cheer of fraternity, fellowship and
* good will yet lingering on their lips.
Lincoln left his council chamber, with
words of counsel for peace, good will
ami restored unity, and met his untime
t ly death, while he was possibly yet
meditating some plan to curb the parti
saury and prejudice of those about and
around him. and Grady went to his
grave with the sweet and softened
( words that “turneth away wrath” yet
upon Iiis breath. I’nfortunately for
themselves and the country, neither
lived to see the fruition of their hopes
and counsel. J.incon died before he j
had impressed his principles of and amity j
upon his fellows and compeers a
reign of terror followed and chaos and
confusion triumphed, and in the pend¬
ing crisis, while the untimely death of
the ideal leader at the threshold of his
career causes the shadows to darken and
doubt to arise, every citizen who loves
his country will earnestly trust that the
germ that he has planted will be nour¬
ished to growth and fruition and will
he the balm of Gilead to soften the as¬
perities, remove the suspicions and
dissipate the prejudice from our cotn
nion household and restore it to the
peace, tranquility and fraternity of our
forefathers.
