Orphans’ Homo—Anniversary
Celebration.
About two years ago, Dr. Jesse
Horing, of the North Georgia Con
ference, conceived the idea of es
tablishing, under the supervision
of the church, a home for the or
phans—for the waifs of society;
no sooner was tire idea conceived
than that noble and philanthropic
Christian determined to put it
in operation. Many looked upon
the project as impracticable;
that the South, then just emerging
from the depression following the
close of the war, would not con
tribute to its success; but this
man of faith, unawed by the diffi
culties which presented them
selves, canvassed the country,
brought it prominently before the
people through the press, and the
result was, that on the 26th day
of April, 1871, the Home was es
tablished near Norcross, at the
former residence of Mr. Thomas
11. Jones, which embraced seven
hundred ueres of laud. On last
Friday, the first anniversary was
celebrated.
We attended the celebration
Arrived at the llomo about nine
o’clock and spent an liour pleas
antly in ibis Home of tbe father
less and motherless children,
provided by the hand of char
ity. We found that there were
there now enjoying the benefits
of this model institution thirty
seven children. Finding that this
grand work, so auspiciously be
gun, was a success, and that the
accommodations already provided
were nothing like adequate to the
wants of the Hume, a new Home
is now being built about three
hundred yards from the old one,
sufficiently large to accommodate
a large number ofchildreu; and
there has also been erected a school
house for their use.
Tlie exercises of tiic day were
opened by prayer by the Rev. S.
Anthony, of the South Georgia
Conference, and tho singing of a
beautiful Sunday school song by
the children of tho Home. It was
a beautiful sight to see these chil
dren , gathered up from the waste
places of the land, with glad faces
and glad smiles, welcoming to
their happy Home the originators
of and contributors to their hap
piness,
l)r. Boring then introduced to tho
audience Mr. Thomas McGeehee,
who, when the call was first made,
immediately contributed one thou
sand debars. He is n noble speci
men of a man, of whom it may bo
said “no pent up Ulioa contracts his
philanthropy."
The orator of the day, Rev. Dr.
Hicks of Macon, was then introduced,
«nd held the audience for more than
two hours, enchained by an eloquent
discourse. A brief synopsis of his
apeocL would do it injustice, and
therefore we will not attempt it. It
will be furnished for publication, and
if not too long we will lay it before
our readers.
There was a large crowd in at>
tendance, estimated hy soino to he
two thousand. Atlanta was well
represented, especially hy the ladies,
and many of her leading citizens.—
There we e a few “voung bloods’’
from that city whose presence could
havebeen dispensed with. YouDgmen
who hat e not sufficient self respect
to prevent them from getting drunk
and using obscene and profane lan
guage in the hearing of ladies on
such occasions ought to lx> indicted
ly our grand jury and taught a iee
sou in our court, which their pat
rents failed to teach them at home.
The institution, under the control
of Ur, Thomas Boring, has a bright
future before it. Ten years from
to day tide institution will be, under
the blessing of Heaven, an honor to
the State, and the church, and its
fruit will reflect honor on its founder
“when he shall be gathered to his
Father ”
United States District Cor hi.—
The United States District Court for
the Northern District of Georgia will
hold the second session of the March
term on Monday, the 13th day of
May, i» this city.— Constitution,
United States Supreme Court
I revisions.
Washington, April 22.— The fol
I lowing decisions wore made in tire
| Supreme Court to-day: No. 11.—
White vs. Hart et al. Error to
the Supreme Court of Georgia.
This was an action on a note given
for the price of a slave. The de
fence pleaded that by the new con
stitution of the State the court
was prohibited from taking any
jurisdiction of a case involving
the question of the validity of
sucli a contract. The judgment of
the court was for the defendant,
and announced the following prop
ositions :
First—That when the constitu
tion of 1808 was adopted, Geoagia
was not a State in the Union ;
that she had surrendered her con
nection as such, and was a con
qnered territory, wholly at the
mercy of tlie conqueror, and that
hence the inhibition of the States
by the constitution of the United
States to pass any law impairing
the obligation of contracts bad no
application to her.
Second—That her constitution
docs not affect the contract, but
only denied jurisdiction to her
courts to enforce it.
Third—That her constitution
was adopted under the dictation
and coercion ol Congress, and is
the act of Congress rather than of
the State, and that though a State
cannot pass a law impairing the
validity of Contracts Congress can,
and that for this reason, also, the
inhibition in the Federal constitu
tion lias no effect in the case, and
this court reverses the judgment,
and in substance says : The sub
ject presented by the first proposi
tiou lias been considered inciden
tally several times by this court,
ami its former decision in respect
of it need only be re-affirmed.
The national constitution crea
ted not a confederacy of States,
but a government of individuals.
It Assumed that the government
and union which it created, and
the States which were Incorpora
ted into the union, would he inde
structible, and, as far as human
ir.cans could accomplish such a
work, it so intended to make them.
The government of the nation
and of the State are cacli alike in
dependent and absolute in their
respective spheres of action, but
the former is as much a part of a
government of the people of each
State, and as much entitled to
their allegiance and obedience as
their local State governments, the
constitution and laws of the Uniter!
States, made in pursuance thereof,
being, in all cases where they
apply, the supreme law of the
land.
The doctrine of treason and
practical secession is practical
treason seeking to give itself tri
umph by revolution and violence.
The late rebellion was without any
element of right or sanction of
law, and the duration and the
magnitude of the war did not
change its character.
The States in rebellion were
never out of the Union, and never
were absolved from the duties and
liabilities always incumbent upon
them.
On tho second point it is said
that without the remedy the con
tract may not be said to exist.
The ideas of validity and rem
edy are inseparable and are both
parts of tint obligation which is
guaranteed by the constitution
against invasion; hence that de
\ ice of the remedy by the State
was not valid, because it annihila
ted the contract.
The third of the proposition is
said to be cleaily unsound.
Congress authorized the State
to frame a new constitution, and
she elected to proceed within the
scope of the authority conferred.
The result was submitted to Con
gress, a voluntary and valid offer
ing, cud was so received and rec
ognized in the subsequent action
by that body.
The State is estopped to assail
It upon such an assumption. Up
on the same grounds she might
deny the validity of her ratifica
tion of the constitutional amend
ments.
The action of Congress upon
the subject cannot be enquired
into.
The case is clearly one in which
the judicial is bound to follow the
action of the political depart
ment of the government, and is
concluded by it.
Jt is added that if Congress had
expressly dictated and expressly
approved the proviso in question
such dictation, and approval would
have beeu without effect.
Congress has no power to super
sede the constitution of the United
States.
Mr. Justice Swuyno delivered
the opinion, as also in the case
from Arkansas, No. 42, Osborn
vs. Nicholson et al. In that case
there was a warranty that the
slave was sound, and that lie was
a slave for life. The court eon.
tended that such a warranty does
not extend to the exercise of tlx:
sovereign power of the State by
which the slave was emancipated,
and that the 13th amendment of
the constitution docs not alter the
question.
The contract being valid when
made was enfurccably in all
courts, and that subsequent legis
lation either by statute or consti
tutional provision could not render
it invalid.
The Chief Justice dissented, and
stated that he would give his
opinion to be filed hereafter.
From Washington.
Washington, Apiil 24. —Iler-
•chel V. Johnson and F. P. Stanton
argued before the Sub-Committee on
Ways an Means in favor of the bill,
referred to that Committee, refund
ing the cotton lax. The argument
was based upon the unconstitutional
ity of the tax. The whole amount
collected is sixty five million dollars.
Refering to the dispatch in ihe
newspapers, that August Belmont
was at Cincinnati urging the nomi
nation of Charles Francis Adams as
a candidate for President before
the convention to assemble there
next month, giving assurances that
Adams would lecehe the dem
ocrtic support, lion. Fernando
Wood, chairman of the joint caucus
of the Democratic and
Representatives, is authority for
saying there are no Democrats
in Congress in favor of Adams, and
that iri his opinion it is quite certain
that the Democratic National Con
vention would nominate another
ticket if Adams should bo chosen
at Cincinnati.
Although the time and place for
holding the Democratic National Con
vention are not formr.llv fixed, it is
understood that the 4th of July
will he the day, and St. Louis the
place.
In tho Senate, upon seating Ran
som, Thurman congratulated the
Senate that, for Ihe first lime since
1861. every scat was filled.
Sumner presented a petition signed
by thirteen thousand against recog
nizing God in the constitution.
Abbott gols his salary and mileage
to date.
Washington, April 25.—Charles
Francis Adams lias written a letter,
virtually declining the Cincinnati can
didature, though liehis willing to
respond to the call of the people if
needed.
Washington, April 25.—A Ma
tamoras dispatch closes with a state
ment that the indications are that
the revolution is about expiring, and
that the chiefs will lead small plan
dering bands throughout the country.
Lot isvii.i.k, April 24. —A imimher
of Presbyterian ministers from all
parts of the State met here last night
to hold a conference on the subject
of organizing a new university under
the auspices of the Southern Synod
of Kentucky, the Centre College at
Danville fiaving been virtually turned
over by a recent decision of the Su
preme Court of the United States, to
the other wing of the church.
f’iie Conference resolve to estab
lish such an institutution, and called
a convention of the friends, members
and officers of the Church and
Alumni of Centre Colledge, in sym
pathy with the movement to meet
in Lexington, Ky., May 7th, to organ
i/.e the project.
The Synod of Kentucky will pro
bably bo called togeler at the same
time and place.
London, April 20.— Advices from
Persia state that the famine in
that Country is increasing. In
Teheran, the capital city, the lies
titution is becoming widespread ;
and it is feared tba', with the ap
proach of summer, the disease
ami epidemic, which paitially
abated during the winter months,
may again appear. The extremi
ties to which tlie inhabitants arc
reduced in their efforts to obtain
food are dreadful, the commonest
herbs and toots being frequently
used to satisfy the craving of hun
ger. Numbers perish daily from
want and exhaustion From all
parts of Persia a similar condition
of affairs is reported. Many of
the towns and villages have almost
suffered depopulation by the pro
traded famine.
Advice to the Colored Men.—
Toe New York Tribune of Saturday
prints the following dispatch from
New Orleans.
New Orleans April 18—The fol
lowing will appear by permission in
the New Orleans Republican to-mor
row, as to the duty of the colored
men in the South:
Hon. T. \V. Conway, New Orleans :
Silt; I have yours of 2lst instant.
I think colored people will be bene
fited by, and should sympathize with,
the Cincinnati Convention, because
it tends to free them from the odium
of complicitity with villanies and
robberies which havebeen perpetrated
in the abused name of Republican
ism during the past five or six years,
especially in the South.
The monstrous exaggeration of
taxes and debts in most of the South
ern States is the fruit of white viL
lainy. The thieves who perptrated
these robberies are now seeking to
escape the just punishment of their
crimes hy bawling lustly, “ Grant,”
“Grant;" “I'm for Grant;” “Hurrah
for Grant!" The Cincinnati move
ment is a deadly feud with these job
bers ami their evil deeds. Let the
honest and upright colored men join
it then, and thus rid themselves of
crimes w hich others only have perpe
trated. Yours,
Horace Greelv,

Memory’s Soiir.
Weary of my books, I recline
against the wall and listen to the
sad strain which memory sings to
day. All! Bhe sings of a child
hood’s home, and its sweet associ
ations, back in the lovely West,
near where the Coosa proudly
rolls, in whose waters I used to
bathe in the sultry days of sum
mer; or sit on her banks and
watch the swallows as they ner
vously twittered by; and of joy
ous hours on the slope that fronts
the now decaying old academy.
Now she makes a line in aste
risks and sings of hands that arc
clasped in dreams alone; and of
lips that srnile, and eyes that look
upon ns no more, save in visions
of the night. Now, she wails
forth the dirge of buried love and
hope, and
Ah! my heart grows weak as a little
child's;
And the briny tear-drop falls,
As these wonderful scenes with their
shadows flit
Through the soul’s deserted halls,
And I long for some with their hands to
smooth
From my brow the tangled hair;
For I'm weak and sick with the cares of
life,
VY hich the weary breast must bear.
It is sad,yet sweet,to listen to her
legendary song. Sad, because it
reminds us of what was once ours,
now hidden forever in the gloom
with departed years. Sweet, be
cause we drink of the golden cup
of life’s young dream—though,
alas! its brim is anointed with
the oil of bitterness.
But I’ll not murmur that her
tones are not less sad; for the
uncertainty and of
all earthly things being manifested
in the disappointments of the past,
the groaning heart turns to hear,
that it may have “peace as a
river.” And had it been other
wise-had the world been kinder—
perhaps I should have still pur
sued the phantoms which deceive,
and elude the grasp of the mortals
who chase them.
We hear of a land of eternal
spring and song, where no discor
dant notes jar upon the soul. Ah !
a land of supreme delight without
change, but—
For the wondrous tales of that Ambright
chime
Which we hear, why should I care?
I would not ask if they all are true,
’Tis enough : there is glory there.
And memory soon will forget
her song of to-day and catch some
of the airs which sweep through
the Eden of eternity, if I am but
“faithful unto death.” So mote it
be. Apercu.
