Our people, 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 Prince of Peace. Wo sincerely trust that Mr. Conkling, who was not warlike 100 when fighting was in vogue, is not serv ing the Enemy of Mankind. General Gordon- 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 to “'I this sound and fury, the i ocn of Georgia, 15,OC 1 or 20,000 strong, L'ood out in the burning sun on Thurs- LJ . an " frantically applauded every L a!°n° f the * r distinguished Senator [Union t B aD1 ^ l ' le perpetuity of the Jj^knltove that Senator Gordon rep- L “ n °t only Georgians but men of win eonerally.

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. I°f Gordo 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.

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. When the celebrated Patrick Henry, of Virginia, was near the close of life and in 'feeble health he laid his hand on the Bible and addressing an old friend who wi' with him : “Here is a book," said he,“worthmore than all oth ers ever printed; it is my misfortune nev- ■ * i 5a .‘it .,„ nn „w fWtarttmn heard it said that the Deists have claim ed me. Tho thought gives me far more pain than the appellation of Tory. For I consider religion of infinitely higher importance than politics; and I hntl much cause to reproaoh myself, that I have lived so long and given no decided public proof of my being a Christian. 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. “My God! man, what is nobler than a man wrestling and wi nging ms bread from the stubborn soil by the sweat of his brow »nd the break of his back for his wife and children? ex claimed the late William H.

Put up in small glass jars. Pickles of any kind of vegetables may be made in the same way, using duo proportions of the materials. Very good mixed pickles can be made of to matoes, snap-beans, cabbages, cucum bers, small young okra and various other vegetables without boiling or stewing at all. Put the vegetables (let them be small) in a large glass jar with black pepper, mustard, a little onion, allspice and doves, cover with good vin egar. In a few days the smallest may be used and will be found good. * 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. A young couple in humble life were going through the usual civil matiimo- nial forms a few days ago before the Mayor of one of the o rond'^soments of Paris. , , „ “The woman is everywhoret o follow her husband," said the functionaly, re citing the usual formula. “I decline to promise that,” said the bride, with great decision.” . “What do you mean inquired the Mayor. “My husband, Bir, is a letter earner in the suburbs,” roplied tho cautious creature, in a mincing tone, The Bridgeport Farmer thinks that altogether the sharpest move yet made by Secretary Sherman in hia Presiden tial game is the organization of a South ern Republican Executive Committee. It will, says tho Farmer, effect Southern Bolidity in the National Convention—a phase of the “solid South” to which he does not object. Thus backed, he can at least diotate the Republican ticket if he fails to secure the first place him self.
