in-the moss, and almost unanimously,
cordially echo the opinions and patriotic
aspiration of General Gorden, and bid
God-speed to the good work of peace,
union and perfeot fraternity in all sec
tions of the common country. General
Gordon is working in the interest of the

AnjulU Chronic]* *nd ConBtilu‘’on»llst.
Every now and then General Gordon
sounds an eloquent key-note that meets
with a cordial response all over the Un
ion from the best cIbsbcb of the people.
The finest compliment that could be
paid any man is edito.lally given in the
New York Journal of Commerce, of
the 11th. We reproduce it entire :
In Brooklyn, on Wednesday last, Sen
ator Conkling, of New York, made a
long campaign speech, full of partisan
feeling and sectional hate and misrep
resentation. In Savannah, the day fol
lowing, Senator Gordon, of Georgia, de
livered a Union-loving, patriotic address
on the occasion of the Jasper Centen
nial. The Northern Senator in his
speech was nothing if not sectional, and
the representative of a party. The
Southern Senator repudiated sectional-
ism with vehemence and eloquence, and
said not one word to identify himself
with afty political organization. The
former, iu the low and envenomed tone
of his Bpoech, sank far beneath the level
to which a man of bis pretensions
should have risen in discussing cam
paign issues. The latter took and easi
ly kept the high table land of pntilotio
thought which so many American
statesmen—Senator Conkling chief
among them—long ago deserted. Sena
tor Gordon calls the Federal Constitu
tion “the omnipotent arbiter from
which there is no appeal.” He prays
fora "broad”patriotism, broad as tho
Republic itself.” He says: ‘‘Godspeed
the day when the maxim, ‘This is my
country,' all my country—evory sec
tion, every State, every acre of Boil over
which the flag' of the Republic floats—
shall be embraced by every American
freeman!” It is said that the part of
his address coutaining these pnsionate
words,of dovutiou to the Union “elicited
the most vociferous and prolonged ap
plause.” How is this ? Senator Conk
ling, in a speech totally devoid of pa
triotic enthusiasm) told his hearers in ef
fect that tho Union iB hated at the
south, that State Righ*' are as rampant
there as over in tho days before seoes-
• l “n; that tho ox-rebels, having failed
to destroy the Republic by war, are now
, ln g to capturo and control it, with
\ V .i e j u P a ®tting all ‘hat the war had
*ttied, as we had fondly supposed. He
declares that the National finances,
prosperity, economy, safety, right and
justice are all imperiled by these bold,
"scrupulous Southerners. * And, for

The State Lunatic Asylum.
Milledge?iU6 Union and Recorder.
We publish to-day the report of the
special committee, appointed by the
legislature to visit the Lunatic Asylum,
and report on the special case of a
young man from Floyd county, and
also the general condition of the Insti
tution. The committee report that they
found the Institution remarkably dean,
and after r> thorough a search as their
limited time allowed, found nothing of
which they could complaio. They even
“examined the heads" of some of the
inmates and failed to find the skin of
a louse. They, however, intimate that
it was possible that the institution was
fitted up just to receive them. This is
a great mistake. The institution is open
to visit ira at all times, and there is scarce-
’ a day, that visitors are not shown
irough the wards. We have heard
but one expression of opinion, and that
was praise and wonder at the cleanli
ness of an Institution that contained
nearly a thousand filthy, helpless peo-
‘ i. If there is a man in Georgia, who
ihes to see for himself, let him go
there quietly any day in the year, and
at any hour in the day, and he will find
it os the committ ie found it, in a perfect
state of cleanliness. We are well aware
that instances of seeming neglect migtlt
occur where there are a thousand and
one demands from so many unfortu
nates, who require more attention than
so many babes; ‘but the charges
brought by the father of young MorriB,
(that he had lice on him) supported r ’•
as 1 they seem to be by witnesses who
saw him after he was tiken away from
the Institution, are denied most positive
ly by the officers and attendants of the
Asylum.. This being the condition, the
committee report thd s'^temon'i made,
and mako no recommendation. Alto
gether it was a small matter scarcely
worthy the consideration of the legisla
ture. The report of this special commit
tee sustains previous report that the
i'eneral management of the institution
s all that could be expected or desired,
and all persons who visit the Asylum
know that the officers are able, con
scientious, high-toned gentlemen, faith
ful in the discharge of duty, and fur
ther that they feel a tender solicitude
for the comfort and welfare of their un
fortunate charge, as well as a just pride
in hav'og everything as neat rt a new
pin.

The Mule and the Small Boy.
A boy, apparently very much agi
tated, rushed into a house, and said to
the lady:
"I don’t want ter alarm yer, but I’ve
got big news. The man sent me up
from the livery stable to tell yer—”
“Good heavens, what is it?”
“Why, yer know yer little boy Aleck;
what the man can’t keep outen the liv
ery stable round the corner ?’’
“Yes; well ?’’
“I told Aleck just now not to go inter
the stable among the horses, out he
wouldn’t mind me—”
“Oh, dorr 1 What has happened ?”
“He said he wanted ter see what a
mule ud do when yer tickled its heel
with a straw.”
“Oh, heavens I gasped the lady, and
clung to the mantle for support.”
“Well, m’am, yer boy Aleck got a
straw, sneaked up behin’ a sorrel mule,
tickled him on the heels, an’—”
• The lady started for the door.
“An’ the blamed crittor never lifted a
hoof, never as much n switched its
cussed tail. It’s a mighty good thing
for Aleck that he didn’t too; an’I
thought I’d come up an’ tell yer.”
And be dodged out at the side en
trance.
What are the Profits?
This is the absorbing point that is of
chief interest in every business transac
tion. By the combination system of
operating in stocks, Messrs. Lawrence
& Co., bankers, N. Y., unite the orders
of thousands of patrons, in various
sums, into one immense amount, and
operate them as a mighty whole, thus
obtaining all the advantages of the larg
est capitalists and best skill. Profits
are distributed pro rata among share
holders every month. In this way
large gains are secured in short periods,
and capital from $10 or $15 to $50,000
can be used with equal proportionate
success. $20 will make $100 in 30 days,
$150 will pay $1,600 profit or 10 per
cent on the stock, and so on, according
to the market. A citizen of Troy made
$315.75 on an investment of $50. Many
customers are doing better. The new
circular has two unerring rules for suc
cess, and full details so that any one
can operate profitably. Stock and bonds
wanted. Government bonds supplied.

In his charge to the grand jury of
tho Third United States Judicial Dis
trict of Utah, delivered on the 1st inst.,
Judge Hunter called particular attention
to the existence of polygamy in the
territory, and insisted that the grand
uiy.should indict all parties guilty of
,t. He told the jurors that they knew
personally parties who had a plurality
of wives, and if they failed to indict all
such they violated the oath. they had
taken. He denied the claim of the
Mormons that it wes they who had
made the Utah valley blossom like a
rose. The Judge claimed that all the
material improvement and prosperity
of the valley had been wrought by the
his judioial weapons to bear upon the
offending Mormons.

New York Herald: We do not forget
that so prominent a man as Mr. Evarts
in 1876 allowed himBelf to express the
belief that if a Democratic administra
tion gained power the publio credit
would be attacked; but we have no
doubt Mr. Evarts has been ashamed of
his utterance since then, and we sincere
ly regret that Mr. Conkling should,
threo years after Mr. Evarts, repeat h’S
assertions.

There are situations in life which
puzzle even the wisest men. What, for
example, is the best and politest thing
to reply when a person says “Thank
you.”. To bow merely Beeras stiff and
cold; to say “You’re welcome,” provin
cial, “Same to you,” and “You’re rn-
other,” do not seem quite light some
how, and “How d’ye do,” is absent and
awkward. "Don’t mention it,” may
suit a book agent or a ticket porter, but
we want something better for holiday
use. “Not at all” seems to imply that
the thankist is a liar. Perhaps the beBt
thing under the circumstances is- to
grin gracefully and change the subject.

It will, says tho Farmer, effect Southern

phase of the “solid South” to which he
does not object. Thus backed, he can
at least diotate the Republican ticket
