“Wo have but one lamp, by which to
guide our feet; and that is the lamp of
experience/’ In looking back over the
track of history, we find that Empires and
Kingdoms have risen, flourished and de
cayed. Upon many once proud cities and
empires, magnificence and grandeur were
en'hroned and enduring greatness seemed
to have set its seal, but time has imprinted
its footsteps deep, while desolation and
decay have left their mildew blight.
Egypt's bards once sang of her greatness
and glory. Iler everlasting pyramids recite
the story of her fame, while the incorrigi
ble dust that lies inhumed in their “terrific
gloom” tell us that Egypt’s Kings, like
modern men, were ambitious of undying
names. The melody of Menrnon is hushed;
the glory of Thebes is forgotten, and proud
Carthage, who once dared defy Imperial
Rome, is now slumbering in the ashes of
desolation. Greece, that land over which
shone the' bright constellation of heroes,
poets and orators ; over which the bird of
liberty hovered in beauty, and in which
the Muses reared their temple and wreathed
their laurels around the brow of eloquence
and poetry, has yielded to the ruthless hand
of time and the conquering arms of Rome.
These facts should be ample material for
the people of glorious America to think
seriously of in this gloomy hour. The
father, who loves his children and would
provide against evils to which future gen
erations may be exposed, and the patriot,
whose bosom glows with love of country,
may well and reasonably fear from the
silent march of centralization that we shall
not pass the ordeal of ages unimpaired, and
that our boasted freedom will ere long be
numbered with that of Greece and Rome.
Power and liberty is the essence of contro
versy between the two parties of our
government. This fact needs no proof to
thoso who have paid any attention to our
national legislation for the last six years.
One by one, has the party in power riveted
abuses, until their sole aim is too palpable
to be mistaken by the most casual observer.
It becomes the duty of the present genera
tion, whether they will or not. to decide the
fate of their posterity. While we consider
the Constitution the great Magna Charta of
our liberties and freedom, and that all
infractions should be carefully guarded
against, there is a more alarming feature
in the extreme political and social corrup
tion, now pervading the length and breadth
of our country and in the growth of pecu
lation and the decay of public virtue in the
government. Unless there is a removal of
these pregnant causes, there will come
forth the most hideous and undesirable
results, and there will be need of another
Homer, to sing the destructive wrath of
America, and another Virgil, to strike in
measured strains, the tale of Columbia’s
last hero. Could France to day give her
voice to the Councils of America she would
proclaim in thunder tones, beware of cen
tralism ! Could the shade of Charles the
I. tell us his true history, it would urge
the officials of this government, to beware
of usurpations upon human freedom and
Constitutional liberty. llow can good men
of the Republican party, for party sako,
cling to leaders whom they know to be
more inflated with evils to the general
government than Pandora’s box ? Is it
possible that while the chains of despotism
are being fastened upon them they cannot
see them, or seeing them, do not shrink
frhm them? How have many of the elec
tions been held since this party came into
power? llow much government treasure
has been expended to procure the election
of certain candidates? Both voters and
Representatives have become infected and
hence the very fountain of government is
poisoned. Unless this sourse of corruption
be overcome by the people, and men of
brains and morals be placed at the helm ;
unless this desire to acquire territory for
the accomplishment of political ends and
not for the good of the government .be
crushed, and unless the general government
be bound and chained down with links of
adamant by the hands of the States that
created it, despotism will iJoou overspread
our land.
Tue Sootii and the National Banks.—
The Comptroller of the Currency, according
toa Washington correspondent of the New
York journals, states that the Southern
States, for whose benefit in part the bill was
passed increasing the national bank cur
rency $54 000,000, have so far been unable
to take their quota or to establish their
share of national banks. Thus far only
about fifteen millions have been paid out,
and there are applications on file for about
ten millions additional. These come mostly
from the Western States and Territories.
The first distribution was made according
to the terms of the act of Congress, upon
the basis of population. After this the
distribution is to be made upon the basis of
the resources of States and Territories It
is the opinion of the Comptroller that,
owing to the condition of the South, at least
twenty-five millions will remain for distri
bution among tho Hates aad Territories of
the West at the close of the present year.
The Democratic Address.—The Indian
apolis Sentinel says the Democratic Con
gressional Address, received the hearty
concurrence of all the members, excepting
one from Delaware and two from Maryland.
Valuable Immigration,
There are strong probabilities, says the
Metropolitan Record, of an exodus of French
families from Alsace and Lorraine to the
United States. Many letters are said to
have been received in this country, stating
that the French inhabitants of the territory
taken by Prussia are resolved to quit it,
and that extensive emigration to the United
States may be expected Some of these
letters have befcn addressed to official quar
ters in Washington, and the writers show
much anxie'y to ascertain where they can
do best in America, and what the prospects
are for establishing French colonies.
It is natural that the people who have
been forcibly taken from France should
rather leave the appropriated territory
altogether than remain under a rule which
they detest, though it might be better for
France hereafter if they did remain, as she
may need the services of all her people
when the time comes to recover what she
has lost ; but if the inhabitants of Alsace
and Lorraine are really resolved to find
new homes, they should be heartily wel
comed to the South. They are an intelli
gent and industrious people, and all of
them who come to this country will be a
valuable addition to our population.
Many of the great manufactories which
supply the finer kinds of merchandize im
ported from France are located in the
region which brute force has enabled Ger
many to acquire. If the workmen who
produce them come to the United States,
fabrics of equal value may be manufactured
here. We do rot refer to the silk manu
factures, which come chiefly from other
pans of France, but to fine cotton and
wo den fabrics, of which great quantities
are brought here annually, and sold tit high
prices. If we can have these goods pro
duced in American factories, or goods
nearly equal 'o them in quality, a long and
important step will be taken in the march
of home industry.
But what ver kind of labor the French
immigrants may engage in. they will be a
valuable element in the body politic. No
part of Europe contains a population pos
sessing more useful qualities than Alsace
and Lorraine. Their industry, intelligence,
steadiness and moral virtues make them a
most desirable acquisition to any community.
Summing Up.
The legislative work of the session is
s rimmed up in some forty bills of minor and
mainly local importance, add in the two
measures of the session, the Ku-klux bill
and the deficiency appropriations. —New
York Tribune.
The Patriot truthfully # says this brief
paragraph tells the whole story of the six
weeks’ sesaiop. The Ku-klux bill was
passed for no other purpose than to clothe
the President with military power to renom-'
inate himself, and, if possible, to carry the
election by putting tho ?outh under the
rule of the bayonet. The deficiency bill,
which the Tribune calls one of the “meas
ures of the session,” originated in the House
of Representatives, with a total of $90,000
to cover appropriations, which Mr. Law
rence, of Ohio, had purposely neglected to
report to the last Congress, and was swelled
to $1,350,000 before it was finally adopted
in the conference committee.
The previous session of three months was
squandered in discussing the San Domingo
job, in getting up the Ku-klux agitation,
and in passing enormous appropriations.
Not one measure of relief for the pe’ople ;
not a 6ingle bill to diminish taxation, and
not a proposition looking to any future
remedy, was seriously considered. Every
thing was partisan from first to last. The
House, under the pressure of public opinion,
sustained by the solid column of Democrat
ic votes, adopted bills repealing the duties
on tea, coffee, salt, and coal, but the Radi
cal Senate obstinately and persistently re
fused to give them even a hearing, and they
were contemptuously kicked under the ta
ble, while month after month w as consumed
with force bills and other acts intended to
strike down every safeguard of public and
personal liberty, and which invest the Pres
ident with despotic power, to bo exercised
at his sole discretion and without restraint
ot any kind, such as the Czar of Russia or
the Sultan of Turkey dare not use in pres
ence of frowning opinion of monarch
ical Europe. Tbie is all the people have
got from Congress in two sessions, which
closed with a disgraceful exhibition between
Radical leaders, as a fitting climax to the
violence which characterizes their wicked
legislation/
The Patriot says while French blood is
still flowing between the rival hosts of
Paris and Versailles, M. Theirs is making
his customary confident speeches in the
Assembly and proclaiming that the end is
near at hand. lie has also taken occasion
to compliment Marshal MacMahon, who
commands the Government forces operating
against the Communists, as a second Cheva
lier Bayard—a tribute which is probably due
to that old campaigner. Within Paris there
are no signs of the disintegration of the
revolution. On the contrary, while the
movement against the Versailles authority
does not seem to be spreading in any other
portion of Franoe, the Communist leaders
appear to be holding their own and prepar
ing for a continued formidable resistance.
It is quite clear that, unless some compro
mise should be effected between the bellig
erents, the policy of starvation will have to
be resorted to, in order to reduce Paris to
order.
The Monroe Advertiser says : “The im
pression is abroad that several of our county
offices are filled hy negroes. This is a mis**
take. White Radicals were elected, excqpt
for Surveyor and Coroner. A Democrat
fills the former office, and a negro the latter.
The Treasurer and Collector have as yet
failed to enter upon the discharge of their
duties. Cause? Inability to give bond."
The Georgia Baptist Convention.
We take the* following summary of the
actions ot this Convention, just closed at
Cartersville, from the Chronicle and Senti
nel of Saturday: “The Baptist Convention,
which recently closed its labors, is said to
have been the largest that has assembled in
thirty years. The Bev. P. H. Mell, D. D.,
was elpcted presiding otbeer, and discharg
ed the functions of his office with accustom
ed dignity and ability. It is generally
conceded, we believe, that Dr. Mell is not
excelled is a Parlimentarian. The usual
reports were made, showing energy and
zeal in the support of the missions, schools,
charities, «fcc., sustained by the denomina
tion. •
The question of the Convention, about
which there has been much division, and
no inconsiderable interest, within this de
nomination, was the removal of Mercer
University to Macon. This is a matter that
has been carried to the courts, and a case is
now pending in the Supreme Court, in
which the town authorities of Penfield ap
peal from a decision of the Superior Court
of Bibb county, amending the charter of the
University so as to allow its removal. The
whole matter was referred by the Conven
tion toa committee, who have, reported a
plan of settlement which met the unani
mous approval of the Convention, and it is
believed will prove satisfactory to both par
tics litigant. It is in the nature of a conV
promise, by which Macon will get the Uni
versity, and the old University buildings at
Penfield will ba retairud by the denomina
tion and placed in the charge of the trus
tees, who are to establish there a seminary
to be called the Mercer High School.
The Convention resolved- to meet next
year in Macon, and Dr. T. E. Skinner, of
Columbus, was appointed to deliver the
introductory sermon.”

Davis’ Vegetable Pain Killer has been tested in
every variety of climate,"and by almost every natiod
known to Americans.
It is almost the constant, companion nnd estimable
friend of the missionary nnd the traveler, on sea and
and. and no one should Havel on our lakes or Rivers
without it.
It has been before the public for over thirty years,
and probably has a wid.-r and better reutatioh than any
other proprietary'medicine of the piesent day. At this
period there are but few unacquainted with the merits
of the Pain Killer; but white amne extol it is a liniment,
they know but little <>f its power in easing pain when
taken internally, while others use it internally with
great >uccess, but are equally ignorant of its healing
virtues when applied externally. VV e therefore wish to
■txy to all that it is equally successful whether used in
ternally or externally, and it stands to-day unrivalled
by all the great cut do nes of family m* dicines It is
snf! cient evidence of its virtues as a standard medicine
to know that it is now used in all parts of the world
an-1 that its sale is constantly increasing No emotive
agent has had such wide spread sale or given such un
iversal satisfaction. It is purely vegetable compound,
an.t perfectly safe in unskilful hands
Attej thirty years trial, it is still reafving the most
unqualified testimonials to |ts virtues, from persons of
the hizhest character and responsibility. lHnsician3
of the first respectability, recommend it as a most effect
ual preparation for the ex inction of pain It is not
only the best remedy ever known for Bruises, rota,
Burns, Ac., but for Uyßent.ry or Choldra or any sort of
