ana have, at last, collided. It is re

ATLANTA PAPERS.
The Atlanta papers are all, as they
should be, emulous of public appro
bation, and, if the accounts which
each one gives of itself is not exager
ated, each excels the other. No one
is equal to his neighbor, and every
one is ahead of his rival. This has
the largest circulation, but then that
has a larger one than this; this has
more reading matter than any other,
and yet that other lias far more than
all. The Constitution is the favorite
of the people and the admiration
of the State, and is taken by every
body, and publishes for the whole
world. The Herald steps in, “news
from all nations lumbering at his
back,” defying com petition, and mas
ter of the field, while there the bright
Sun, with his broad disk, sheds such
a glorious light all around, that Her
ald, Constitution, and all others, are,
for the nonce, enveloped in absolute
darkness. We take each and all of
these worthy caterers for the public
favor and the public good, and for
the life of us, forasmuch as we are al
ways influenced by the declarations
of a man as to his ow 7 n condition and
capacities, we are at a loss which
to say most “fills the bill,” unless,
like a petit juror, we should be
carried away by the last speaker.
Sparing no pains, stopping at no ex
penditures, agents tripping all over
.the land, busy correspondents prying
into every crack and corner of the
round world for news and edifyiug
facts, interviewing here and conjec
turing there, dailies, weeklies, and
Sundays, from sixteen up to ninety
columns, they crow (f the eye, fill the
ear, and hardly give one time to
breathe. Swift footed, like their fa
bled mother, -Atlanta, they defy all
competition in the race, and as they
speed along, eaeh’bries aloud that all
may hear, “I’m ahead.” We are
more than rejoiced at the success of
our “Metropolitan” brethren, and the
brilliant record which they are mak
ing for themselves, and hope it is
largely accompanied by larger sub
stantial and quite as shining evidences
of prosperity, real , solid, and to be
handled. If the laborer is worthy of
his hire, surely these disciples of un
r< st who ply their vocation by day
and night, and to whom the night is
as the day, a scene of perpetual labor
and anxious toil, should reap a large
reward.
PIO NINO.
The news from Rome tells us of the
continued indisposition of the Pope,
and fears are entertained that the Pa
pal throne will soon be made vacant
by his death. Ile is now eighty-three
years old, having occupied his im
portant position for a longer period
than any of his predecessors. A stor
my life, marked by the most impor
tant events of modern history, is
drawing to its close, but unfortunate
ly for the glory and power of the
Catholic cause, not only shorn of its
former splendor, but dismembered of
its temporal powers, and overborne
by the surrounding Monarchies of
the continent, he dies without earth
ly hope of the future of Catholic
Christendom. Shorn of its temporal
power, the succession may not per
haps, be so much courted as in former
times, but yet will need the wisest
head and the bravest heart for the
important events which in the next
decade or two will inevitably gather
around the grand old Church. He
may he the last of her teitfporal
princes, but if the march of events
shall serve to purify her of her cor
ruptions and bring from the dead the
more Christian virtues of her first ear
ly history, what any successor to the
papal throne may lose in regal pomp
and earthly power, will be more than
gained by her devoted people and
the cause of Christ at large.
INFIDELITY IN GEORGIA.
The Home Journal states it as a
fact not generally known, but posi
tive and true, that there is a wide
spread and organized effort now be
ing made, and in actual operation,
through the agency of infidel lectur
ers, writers, and publications, to put
down Christianity in this State. That
hitherto tlreir efforts have been more
particularly applied in the Northern,
Eastern, and Western States, but that
of late their operations are to invade
the South. No one who has access to
the public prints but can see how
largely the community has already
suffered in this behalf, while the mor
tifying fact exists of a prurient ea
gerness on the part of a large portion
of the people to give ear to the spe
cious assaults which, in one form or
another, are constantly being made
upon the religion of the Bible. Wan
dering lecturers, bold, assuming, un
godly spiritualists, male and female,
poor, half-witted, but self-assumed,
and falsely so-called scientists, mere
pretenders to knowledge, with a bare
smattering of learning, picked up
from pamphlets, or infidel reviews,
or vanquished opponents of religion ,
are to be met with almost every
where. It is the old battle between
truth and error, vice and virtue, sin
and holiness, God and the devil.
NELLIE GRANT.
All the papers tell us that Nellie,
the daughter of Gen. Grant, is soon
to be married to a Mr. Murphy, son
of Tom Murphy, a rich man, and an
especial friend of the General. Now
if this is said by way of magnifying
and giving importance to the parties
concerned, or rather because the par
ties belong to the “upper ten,” and a
nything that the aristocratic (?) circles
are about to do must be made known
with a flourish, and to their lauda
tion, and for the common people to
hear and wonder at, then all we have
to. say is that we are very glad Nellie
is to be married, and are happy to be
informed of the fact. We suppose
the parties wish to marry, and the
“parients” are willing, and it is not
in our heart to forbid the bans. In
the name of common sense, let them
marry, and have an end of it. It is,
we suppose, a matter of no large in
dividual interest, except to the fam
ilies of the couple and themselves,
while the public has no more interest
in what Murphy’s son and Nellie
Grant are about to do, than any otbar
two clever young people in uie inad.
Let the young folke marry if they
w ill, but aw ay w ith all this miserable
toadyism, and poor attempt at Court
calendaring.
M EDICAL ASSOCIATION.
The Medical Association of the
State, lately assembled at Atlanta,
after an agreeable and, we suppose,
not unprofitable conference of its
members, has adjourned. Reports,
enquiries, speeches and discussions
upon the various matters connected
with the profession, formed the sta
ple of their proceedings as usual—all
we believe in harmony—much to the
edification of the members, and. we
would fain hope, in advancement of
their humane and indispensable call
ing. The attention of the body was
particularly called to the discussion
of that terrible disease known as
meningetis, but after all that was
elicited upon the subject, the conclu
sion was come to, that, while all ad
mitted it to be the most formidable
and fatal of modern diseases, yet that
none of them could tell exactly what
it was, or whence its origin; some
attributing it to malarial origin, some
announcing it as a poison, while oth
ers sat it down as a highly inflamma
tory affection caused by the sudden
extremes of heat and cold. Nor w r as
the mode of treatment to be adopted
any more definitely ascertained; some
suggesting one tiling, some another,
the better opinion seeming to be that,
in the first stages of attack, the lan
cet was most efficacious, but all agree
ing that nothing could be positively
asserted as to its origin or treatment.
It is to be hoped that the efforts of
this large and well informed body of
physicians will, sooner or later, be
able to master this dreaded affection,
and that by their next meeting some
thing more definite and reliable may
he discovered, both as to its diagnosis
and management. The organization
of this body has already been pro
ductive of great good, and its constant
and increasing knowledge in all the
departments of its noble science,
warmly and worthily elicits the in
terest of the whole body of the com
munity. We bid them God speed in
the cause of their profession, for it is
the cause of suffering humanity.
HOMFSTEAD AND TAX ACT.
The Supreme Court of the United
States has at last come up to the res
cue of constitutional law, and the
protection of the just rights of parties,
by the decisions which it has made
upon the homestead law, and the act
of ’6B which requires all plaintiffs to
swear and prove that they had paid
all taxes due upon any promissory
notes or fi. fas. existing prior to 1860,
otherwise their claims should be null
and void. The Supreme Court has
determined both the homestead and
tax act unconstitutional, so far as
their retroactive effects are concerned.
All this legislation was made in the
interest of the debtor class, totally
regardless of the rights or condition
of the creditor, and every body felt
and believed that it was wrong, al
though parties defendant in many
cases were not slow to avail them
selve of its benefit. We remember
that we had, and still have, as just a
claim as ever existed, acknowledged
ly so, where the party had our prop
erty for which he had given us his
note. We had obtained a judgment
upon the claim, hut here came the
homestead and we were at the end of
our row, faintly hoping that our debt
or might not be deaf to the justice of
our claim, we called upon him, and
in reply to our desire to have the
matter adjusted, “well,” said he, “I
believe I have got just about enough
to make me and my old woman com
fortable, and I rayther think I’ll not
pay that debt, but just homestead it.”
We think we will “interview” this
gentleman upon the subject once
again, and if not vastly mistaken, our
conversation will, perhaps, under
this decision of the Supreme Court,
be entitled to some little considera
tion at his hands.
It may be hard that some men will
now have to pay honest debts; it was
always hard that any man should be
compelled to lose an honest debt.—
The decision is wise, just and good.
Let men abide by their contracts fair
ly and honestly made, and if compro
mises are to be made, let them do it
without the interference of unjust
legislation.

TO THE CITIZENS OF CARTERS
VILLE.
One of your denizens sees fit to ex
press his views in anticipation of a
project now about to be submitted in
the way of water works, the founda
tion of which is Ponder’s spring,
some two miles distant. In all candor,
fellow-citizens, let us reason on this
subject before we have cause to regret.
Now don’t think me a croaker, or an
old fogy, but an ounce of preventa
tive is better than a pound of cure.—
Let us, then, consider in time the two
suggestions that are now before the
people of Cartersville for a supply of
water in case of fire. Now, that sys
tem which will accomplish most with
the least means, is the one we should
adopt. The first step in this direc
tion then, would be, in my humble
opinion, to build four cisterns at con
venient distances, say for a thousand
feet of hose, twelve hundred feet
apart, except two on public square.
These cisterns cost, say two hundred
dollars each, and by tin attachments
from roofs of houses, can be kept con
stantly full and ready in case of fire,
or for sprinkling the streets, and that
too, without additional expense to
the citizens. Then I propose the
next step to be the exchange of the
present hook and ladder apparatus
for a suction and force engine. This
1 think can be easily accomplished,
from the fact that, of late, these en
gines are very little used in large ci
ties, while the hook and ladder are
requisite to gain elevations which we
do not need. Now, with these cis
terns, a thousand sees of hose, a suc
tion and force engine and thirty men,
I can put out, or check, almost any
fire that may occur in our little city.
Well, now let us take a birdseye view
of the Ponder spring project. Ido
not know what kind of piping they
propose, but I do know that it will
be attended with a heavy expense,
and subject to getting out of repair
all the time. But admit the water is
brought to us by pipes, what then?
Why, fellow-citizens, it must be in a
body elevated, before you have a
force sufficient to accomplish much
with it. It is true it would run with
force sufficient to fill au efigioe per
haps as fast as she would force it out
but the gravel and sand constantlv
flowing through sueh a stream would
rum the best engine in the world, so
that right in the midst of a conflagra
tion we would have to stop and clean
out, and thus allow the flames to re
gain all the advantage we had gain
ed over them. Now, it is not my
object to oppose the introduction of
water into our little city, far from it
but to arrive at the best wav, bv the
best means possible. And this I eou
h nd, for the present, is, the requisite
number of cisterns, a No. 1 suction
and force tire engine, a thousand feet
of hose, from forty to sixty men, and
I think this will be suflicieut for any
ordinary emergency.

MELANGE.
Atlanta, Ga., April llth, 1873.
Time in its flight brings changes
startling and wonderful. Expedients
of yesterday are principles to-day.
Ideas are revolutionized and theories
become effete, and we can scarcely
realize the change wrought in our
form ot government. All apothegm
of Talleyrand’s is, “That a long con
tinuance of a wise administration is
the best and surest means of arriving
at a despotism.” Our present gov
ernment gives us no alarm. How
ever, we live in an ago of advanced
ideas and progression, and would
seek to accomplish reforms by a pro
cess of natural development, rather
than by insane appeal to revolution
ary violence; and while the grand
truth, the fundamental principle of
society, is recognized, that all men
are equal in the eye of the law, we
fail not to perceive that equality of
right can never confer equality of posi
tion, (negro jurors to the contrary not
withstanding) and socialism should
be regarded the negation of liberty
by divine right.
‘ The whirligig of Time, in its evo
lution, lias placed in power an im
practicable school of politicians, who
affect to believe that a legislative act
can create value, that a law of politi
cal economy can be annulled by a
parliamentary majority, or a perma
nent revolution achieved by a procla
mation. But “all that is legal is not
legitimate,” and Time, the dispenser
of all things, is said to be a potent
auxiliary of whoever is on the side of
right and progress. Hence, we hope
to have a proper adjustment, not in
the near future, we opine, some
where in the dim distance, located
about the era which Maeauley, with
prophetic inspiration, has predicted
for his New Zealander. In the good
old days gone by (“All times when
old are good”) who would have
thought of claiming suffrage for their
“sister woman.” Now ’tis being agi
tated to an alarming extent, and the
much vexed question may find a so
lution in the elective franchise, re
gardless of sex, color or previous con
dition.” A consummation not de
voutly to be desired, for woman
should be content in the sphere allot
ted, {vide Eve) satisfied with being
loved —a gentle creature winning in
her weakness, reigning sovereign ov
er all hearts in the sanctity of home,
gracious in the dispensation of loving
offices—not an unsexed creature,
clamoring for rights never intended,
and by no sophistry or falacy of argu
ment could be converted into a bless
ing. The time may come when a
woman may dare venture an opinion
and yet not be deemed pert or odious
ly strong-minded, nor regarded as a
bold invader of man’s domain. Or if
at all above mediocrity, to be sneered
at as having cropped out iikcharacter,
or sprouted into an oddity, or, worse
still, to have sunken into" that most
hopeless of all pitiable conditions—a
literary inanity. Time has effected,
a radical change in our “Operative
Democracy,” and we have realized
the doom of Adam when surely but
slowly he left Eden. Having no taste
naturally or acquired for drudgery,
nor has the costly exotic thrived by
cultivation, and we are rather appre
hensive lest chronic and constitution
al laziness should have something to
do with it, and we execrate the inter
minable routine of humdrum duties
that would wear out a machine, not
to mention the wear and tear and
material damage done to a patience
that was never like Job’s. Unques
tionable domesticity is a saint-like
virtue, an insurance against tough
dinners, a voucher for buttons, and a
guardian of good temper—a guaranty
against squabbles. The woman who
is aufait in the culinary department
is a Van Amburg, for the most un
tamable of the horrid species man is
subdued into gentleness by a good
dinner. If not gentle lie fails to
growl while taking his feed. Girls
should bear in mind this fact, and
regulate their knowledge according
ly : That all men who make up their
minds “to be wheedled and purred
at, pawed and clawed and scolded
and fondled, blinded and deafened,
bridled and saddled, bedeviled
and married,” have hearts so-called
—but the way to them is down their
throats. D. W.
TO THE FRIENDS OF NEGRO
LABOR IN THE STATE OF
GEORGIA.
Augusta, Ga., April 10, 1873.
At the meeting of the Agricultural
Society of this State last February,
held in this city, the following resolu
tion was adobted :
Jiesolved , That a committee of five
be appointed, with Col. D. E, Butler
Chairman, to consider and report a
the next convention of the society
the best plan of preventing colored
emigration from the State.
Accordingly Mr. Johnson, Assist
ant Secretary, informs me that the
following are the gentlemen named
; by the President:
D. E. Butler, Chairman ; Captain
T. G. Holt, Jr., Macon ; Colonel W.
J. Anderson, Fort Valley; Hon, John
C. Ragsdale, Lithonia, and Colonel
JohnH. Fitten, Adairsville.
The object of this communication
is to invite co-operation, gather sta
tistists, facts, and as much other in
formation as we may, that a good re
port be made in August next, at Ath
ens, to the society.
The committee will gladly receive
letters, and promptly reply. Write
to any of us.
Will not planters, as a class, give
us the result of their experience and
reasoning on the subject ? Will not
some officer of the railroads take a
leisure moment and arrange for us
such information as the records in
their office may afford, viz: how
many negro laborers have gone out
of Georgia over their lines, and how
many came in if any ?
The question is, “is it true that
they are going away? Then how
shall we keep them here?”
My address is,
D. E. Butler, Chairman,

A BANKRUPCY DECISION.
Washington, April 11,—An im

that the law was constutional, and
decided that it gave to bankrupts
homestead exemptions against old

court#.
Stoves—Rome, vs. Columbus.—
We see from an article in the Colum
bus Sun, that they boast in that city
of making seven stoves a day during
the busy season.
Now, Mr. Sun, that is mere noth

Rom \ Seay & Walker, iu our city,
make daily, an average of sixteen
stoves, besides, say, 3,000 fts. of grates
Hollow ware, and 7,000 lbs. heavy
castings.
They are this week castings six
hotblast Boxes for the Bartow Fur
nace. They weigh 5,000 lbs. each.
We think this looks like business.
