f 10} Yours Ago.
J//’. Editor :
There occurcd in the columns of
your issue of August 21th an
article from £ -'E. A. P.” 0 n the
above subject. With your per
mission I would like to differ with
" -A.* T.' as he saw fit to differ with
the “venerable sires.”* “E. A.
P-/’ I suppose, is a “young man
now” and felt what he said as
to the present condition of “the
young men now,” but he attributes
this condition to the wrong cause.
Why are the “young men now,”
if it is so, wanting in good reputa
tions, strong constitutions, honest
hearts and lucrative positions? Have
they not a “chance ?” Have they
not a “better chance” than the
“young men fifty years ago?” Yes,
they have the “chance,” but the
question is, why do they not make
use of the “chance.” America has
advanced in civilisation and thouso
auds of positions, in which the
“young men now” can make good
livings, have been created in the
last fifty years. Still “E. A. P.” j
says give us a chance, says it too
when the country is appealing to
the “young men now” to work.
But let me answer tho question
asked in the beginning. The
“young men now” have not a
“chance” because they do not
ivorlc , because each wan 4 a to be q
Ben Hill in two days and a half,
because each is seeking some posis
tion where he can sit in the shade
with boots blcked and hair plaster*
ed over his forehead. “Labor om
nia vincit.” Let the “young men
now” heed the call of their suffering
country, let them pull off their
glove? and go to work, then they
will have no reason to exclaim:
“Give us a chance.” He who sits
down and waits for a “chance” does
not deserve to be called a Georgian.
“Our fathers” are not the cause of
the laziness of the “young men
now.” No, God bless our fathers,
they have toiled and worked hard
and tried to make something of
their sons, but they have been dis
appointed. “Young men now,”
shall we in return, accuse them of
having “swept away and delayed
us by bankruptcy and dishonesty?”
►Shall we accuse our own puttiers,
citizens of the South, of “uniting
with the moneyed men of the
North to swindle us?” Sh" 11 fi"
vAr 1 ~tb erevirte ourselves in
the estimation of our fellow men,
and above all workfhQ glory of God,
as our fathers have taught us to
do? Does “E. A. P.” still want a
“chance?” Then let me say to
him, for I am a “young man now,”
but do not “take it that I was born
in a very unfortunate period of
American life,” go to work and
the “chance” will come to you.—
N\ ith all due respect, I think “E.

The Northern and Southern
Methodist,
The Joint Commission of the Two
Churches Head) a Unanimous
Agreement—Adoption of Hales in
Reference to Church Propero/
Earned Recommendations of Mu
tual Toleration.
Gape May. N. L, August 23.
Tho Boards of Commissioners ap
pointed by the Methodist Episcopal
Church, South, to remove all ob
stacles to fraternity between two
Churches, have been in session here
for the last ten days. They con
cluded their labors this evening,
and issued an address to the bish
ops, ministers, and members of the
Methodist Episcopal Church, and
of the Mothodist Episcopal Church,
South, in which they sa_>’ :
“You will be rejoiced to learn
that after having due attention to
all questions involved in fraterni
ty between the two great branches
of Episcopal Methodism in the
the United States, we have arriv
ed at a settlement of every matter
affecting us, upon principles of a
last and cordial adjustment. \Ye
have been able, after a frank mter
ehatlge of views and prayerlu 1 oil
uuuvuia to luu monize all differen
ces and to arrive at the desired con
summation of a unanimous avree.-
ment of complete fraternity.
At the begining of our consulta..
tions one great question seemed to
overshadow all others. It concerns
the relation to each other and to
Episcopal Methodism. To this
important matter our most earnest
thought and prayerful deliberations
were first directed, and the result
attained occasioned an interchange
of rejoicing and congratulations be
tween members of the joint commis
sion. We adopted, without a dis
senting voice, the following declare
tion and basis cf fraternity :
THE BASIS OF FRATERNITY.
As to the status of the Methodist
Episcopal Church and of the Meth
odist Episcopal Church, South, and
their coordinate relation as legiti
mate branches of Episcopal Meth-
DiAST( >N~. GA.. SATUR MORNING. SEPTUM PGR 9, \ .:r.
odism, each of said churches is a
ultimate branch of Episcopal
Methodism in the United States
having a common origin in the
- IcJiodist Episcopal Church oruan
lze J* n P 54, an 1 since the organi
zation the Methodist Episcopal
Churcn, South, was consummated
m lbd.j, by the voluntary exercise
of the right of the Southern annu
al Conferences and ministers and
members to adhere to that conven
tion, it has been an evangelical
c.iurch, reared on scriptural foun
dations, and her ministers and
members with those of the Mctho
<nst Episcopal Church, have con
stituted . one Methodist family,
though indistinct ecclesiastical con
ventions.
It was next incumbent upon us
to consider the question concerning
the conflicting claims to Church
property, and some special cases
that could not conveniently bo re
ferred to the operation of a general
rule. There were two principal
questions to be considered with re
gard to Church property in dispute
between local societies of the two
Cure lies tne first as to tlic legal
ownership *of said property, and
the second as to whether it will
consist with strict equity and pro
mote Christian harmony or the
cause of religion to dispossess of
these societies now using church
property which was originally in
tended for their use and occupancy,
and of which they have acquired
possession, though they may have
lost the legal title to it by their
transfer from one church ti anoth
er. Vfe have considered papers in
all cases that have been brought to
our notice. These arose in the fol
lowing States: Virginia, West
Virginia, Maryland, Louisiana,
North Carolina and South Carolina.
In respect to some of these cases
we have given particular directions,
but for all other cases the joint
comission adopted the following
rules for adjustment of adverse
claims to church property :
CHURCH PROPERTY,
Rule 1. In cases not adjudicated
by the joint commission, any soci
ety of either church, constituted
according to its Discipline, now oc
cupying the church property, shall
remain in possession thereo if joro
thc same place a society of mere
members attached to the other
cinircJi, and which has hitherto
claimed the use of the property,the
latter shall be entitled to posses
sion.
Ruic 2. Forasmuch as we have
no power to annul the decisions
respecting church property made
by State courts, the joint commis
sion ordain in respect thereof: 1.
That in cases in which such a de
cision has been made, or in which
there exists an agreement, the same
shall bo carried out in good faith.
2. That in communities where
there are two societies, one belong
ing to the Methodist Episcopal, and
tho other to the Methodist Episco
pal Church, South, which have ad
versely claimed church property, it
is recommended that without delay
they amicably compose their dii
ferenees, irrespective of the strict
legal title, and settle tlie same ac*
cording to strict Christian princi
pal, the equities of a particular
case, and so far practicable, acccr.-s
dmg to the principles of the forego
ing rule; but if such settlement
cannot be speedily made, then the
question shall be referred for equi
table decision to three arbitrators
one to be chosen by each claimant
from their respective societies, and
the two thus chosen shall select a
third person not connected with
either of said churches, and the de
cision of any two shall be final ;
and third, that in all communities
in which there i- but one society
rule the first shad be faithfully ob.-
served iu the ini i ext of peace and
fraternity.
Rule 4. These rales shall take
efiect immediately.
FURTHER RE T-MMENDATION.
In order to further promote the
peaceful results contemplated by
this joint commisioii to remove as
far as may be occasion, and especi
ally to forestall all further
sion for hostility between the two
churches, we recommend to the
members of both, as a wise rule of
settlement when property is in con
test and one or two or both are
weak, that they compose their dif
ferences in the same communion,
and in all cases that the ministers
anu members recognize each other
in all relations of fraternity, and as
possessed of ecclesiastical rights and
privileges of equal dignity and va
lidity. They should each receive
from the other ministers and mem
bers in good standing with the
same alacrity as if coming from
their own church, and without in
terference with each othei’s institu
tions or missions. They should
nevertheless co operate in all Chris
tian enterprises. It is not to be sup
posed, in respect ot the same mat
ters of mere opinion, that all min
isters and members in either church
will be in accord, but we trust and
believe that a spirit of fellowship
and mutual regard will pervade the
I reconciled ranks oi the entire min
istry and membership of both
churhes, We belLve, also, that
their supreme allegiance to the
eau-e of the Great Master will tri
umph over ail variation of perso
nal sentiment, and so exalt the
claims of brotherly affection that
from this auspicious Imur a now
epoch in Methodism will hemn its
brighter history, so that we°shall
Know no unfraternal Methodism in
tne Lnited States or even in the
wide world.

Constitution,
HIS POSITION STATED AT LENGTH.
ATLANTA, Aug. 23d, 187 G.
Editors Constitution :
, b'ER Sirs: —Youi editorial in
your issue of the IGth inst. upon
tne subject of my letter declining
tho use of my name before the pris
maiy election to be held in the
county of Iu 1 ton, at an early day,
loi candidates for the Legislature
and for county officers, is of such
a character in its assertions and
bearing as to call for a reply from
me. I therefore ask for the use of
your columns to the end that the
reply may be made as public as
your editorial. Let mo remind
you, Mr. Editor, that the subject
matter under discussion is not the
principles upon which the demo i
cratic nominations are made, bu<
the plan and practice of the party
armt now exists, and has oxisted in
this city and county for the past
few years. Let this distinction be
kept prominently in view, let us
approach this discussion without
any personal feeling and for no
other purpose than to subserve the
public interest, and for the promo
tion of the party to which\ve be
long, setting down naught to mal
ice.
You say that my letter is an
elaborate and studied attack upon
our plan of nominating local offi
cers, and as- nominations by the
democratic party in this county
serves consideration commensurate
with tlie importance,of the subject
discussed. ' Now, take the admis
sion which you make, (and there is
nothing truer) “that nominations
bv the democratic party in this
county, at the primary elections, as
practiced, arc equivalent to elec
tions as provided for by law.”
By the plan as at present prac
ticed you have the elections held
and the representatives and county
officers chosen and that, too, with
out any of the checks, safe guards,
or penalties prescribed by law, for
the securing of fair elections, or for
the preservation (If the purity of
the ballot or ballot-box.
This plan, with all its corrup
tions, abuses and multitudinous
frauds as heretofore practiced in
this county, finds in advocate, or
at least an apologii, in the person
of the editor of ont of the leading
democratic papers published at the
capital of the state.
You, Mr. Editor [will pardon me
if I express an unvv|illingne? to ad
vocate, or apologise-for, the practi
cal workings of such plan, or for
expressing an unwillingness to ac
cept or hold office under elections
thus held, for, remember, we are
treating nominations made under
tnese primary elections,as elections.
This discussion is proceeding upon
the admission that they arc elec
tions, or equal to elections.
Ly looking a little info the his
tory ot th e past, you will find that
our forefathers laid great stress up
on the importance and necessity of
providing ways and means for the
protection and preservation of tlie
purity of tne ballot and the ballot
box. Doubtless all right thinkin
people to this day believe that
nothing is so well calculated, under
our form of government, to pre
serve and perpetuate the liberties
of the people as that of the purity
of elections.
Indeed, so must have thought our
legislators in the*better days of the
republic, for as far back as the
year 1801, they provided penalties
for illegal voting. Indeed, farther
back than that, towifc, on the 11th
day of Februaay, 1799. They pro
scribed an oath to he administered
I to those whose right to vote wv.s
questioned. They provided pen
alties and prescribed' for their cn
forcemcrrt again.-t superintending
magistrates, or officers whose bus
iness is was to superintend such
elections, for making false returns.
So careful were they oMhe rights
of the people in that day, and lor
Lie purity oi elections, that they
prescribed penalties against any
one who should influence or on®
dcavor to enfiuence or persuade
any voter not to vote as he first
determined or intended, or should
take any undue means to procure
votes. The parties so offending
were required to forfeit and pay
one 'hundred dollars, if it was a
jr.s i -c of the peace that so offended
he was disqualified from serving in
| the commission of the pace. If a
| candidate, to be incapacitate ! for
j scrying in the place cr p -t fir
which he was elected. The pro
vision above, applicable to super*
intendents of elections and justices
of the peace, has been kept up to
this day, and arc now to be found
in section 1,292 of tho uew code of
Georgia. !he other provision ns
to the candidates has been dispens
ed with, and in the stead thereof,
Uno member of the legislature elect,
i ; required to take an oath to sup
port the constitution of the United
States and of this state, and in ad
dition thereto, to swear ’ that he
has not practised any unlawful
means, directly or indirectly, to
procure his election, and that he
has not given, or offered, or prom
ised, or caused to be given, or off- !
cred, or promised io any person,
any money, treat, or tiling of value,
with intent to affect any vote, or to
prevent any person from voting at
the election at which he was elect
ed.-' Many persons had better
have the old penalty of disqualifi
cation to serve after election enfor
ced, than to have to take that oath.
Later in the day, in tlie
year 1833, the legislature made il
legal voting a felony, and punished
the illegal voter when convicted
vvitli imprisonment at hard labor
in the penitentiary for a term of
years. I have referred to these
things for the purpose of showing
the legislative will tor these many
long years upon this subject.
Now if our people through their
representatives in the legislature,
in the better days of the republic”
thought it necessary to provide as
far as they could by oaths and pen
alties for preserving and perpetua
ting the purity of election, how
much more careful ought we to be,
in these degenerate days, in rela
tion to the same subject, and has
not time demonstrated the wisdom
of their course ? May wc not pro
fit by frequent recurrence to the
past. I think so.
You ask mo if republican gov-*
eminent is a failure, because of the
crimes and corruptions of the pres
fgU administrating 1 -but
iris rrut neii&ssary to the prlscm
vation of good government that
such abuses and corruptions in its
administrations should be contin
ue.]. On the contrary thereof, they
ought at ouce to be abandoned,
•icst their continuance produce a
failure of government, * Neither
should we cease to cat because
some articles of food arc adullera
ted but wc should cease at once, the
use of adulterated food lest its con
tinued use should produce decay
and death. Democracy is not a
failure because of the corruptions
and fraudulent practices attending
the present plan of conducting
these irresponsible primary elections
but because the party is not this
day a failure, is no good and suffi
cient reason why these fraudulent
and corrupt practices should be
kept up, but on the contrary, they
ought at once to be abandoned, lest
if continued democracy would, and
ought to be a failure.
You say that I have drawn a
bill of indictment against popular
capacity, and that my letter in the
last analysis means that the mass
of the people are incompetent to
manage directly their public affairs.
You say this is the construction
the letter bears. I respecfully sub
mit that the language used by me
is not susceptible of that construc
tion. No such ihought entered my
mind ;no word or sentence in the
letter, according to the recognized
rules of construction,could, in the
remotest degree, be so interpreted
by any fair-minded person.
There arc other objections as to
the system of primary elect ion* a-i
practiced in this city and county,
that are entitled to grave consider
ation. One I will proceed to state. |
By this plan of election you are '
educating the people, and especial
ly the younger members of the
community to disregard and set at
naught all the safeguards provided,
as Well as all laws enacted for the
preservation cf the purity of elec
tions. You say to them in effect,
there is no law forbiding any one
from putting in an illegal ballot.
No penalties prescribed for ilk gal
voting ; in a word, nothing to pre
vent you from voting as often as
you choose.
This teaching, to my mind, is all
wrong. Its tendency is to debase
ment and corruption. It ought
and doubtless will soon be aban
domed by all good men.
You may, if you prefer it, con
tinue to advocate the plan ofprf
many elections as at present prac
tice! by the party in our county
and city, and von may not be able
to see, as you state in your editori
torial, in my course “any remark
able degree of practical or even
ideal patriotism.’ For myself 1
am unwilling to endorse or ap
prove this irresponsible plan of
primary elections as heretofore prac-
ticed. I must be allowed to inter
pose my objections to this irr.sprn
sible mode of selecting our state
and county officers, hoping and be
hoving that others of my fellow
citizens will at least see some “prac
tical or ideal patriotism” in mv op"
position to such plan.
Now Nrr. Editor, the only ob
ject that I had in view in the point
ing out the evil practices which
had crept in unawares into the
wordings of the democratic party—
and which, I believe, if pcrsistcii’in
or allowed to bo continued, will
produce a disintegration of the p* l *
jv and Drove, iu overthrow —was
to enable the party to r.t once cor
rect those abuses, and as far as pos
sible to keep the patty, in its prao
tices at least, like its principles,
pure and unsullied, to the end that
our political enemies shall have'
nothing to reproach us for.
lam sure you are ready to join
me and all true men in this good
work. Let us have no family
quarrels, but unite our best efforts
to overthrow all political corrap
tiouists who would with any sort
of pretext dare to invade the"puri
ty of elections under cover of dem
ocratic usages and plans. Let us,
as far as in us lieth, keep the prin
ciples and practices of the party as
pure as they were when we receiv
ed them from our fathers. Then
shall we be enabled to hand them
down to posterity unsoiled and 1
untarnished.
I am, very truly, your obedient 1
servant, John Collier.
The foregoing article of Col.
Collier, wc think, is entitled to a
careful consideration by politicians
and the people generally.

It is well, says the Hartford
rimes, for the tax-payers to know
what sums of money this Bepubli
can party has been spending. Cor*-
ruption in office, extravagance
without bound, and a perfect loose
ness and recklessness on the part
of the men who have for years so
shocking have been known, or
vaguely understood, by tbe public,
TOi SUUJO time. Tint wire, has
known or believed the astmindinre
foot that for the la.-t tun years
(years of profound peace) the pub-*
lie expenditures, as reported by the
Secretary of the Treasury, for each
fiscal year separately, have been
over three hundred and thirty mil
lions a year ? No wonder the peo
ple are poor. No wonder trade is
stagnant. Our resources have been
drained and wasted in riotous liv
ing. ()ver three billions, three
hundred and six millions of doD
hors vanished in the conduct of
this government for the last ten
years of peace ! And not a passa
ble vessel left in the navy to show
for .all the millions spent there—-
the navy not strengthened but gone
to ruin—not an honest system of
revenue collection—nearly half cf
that wasted or lost in corrupt
‘'rings ’ and combinations now
proved to have extended in the
White House; no economy in the
Dost Office Department where the
robbing “straw-bid” system of
awarding contract is still draining!
the treasury;notan army that can be
used to put down Sitting Bull and
the Indians—it is wanted to over
awe and prevent the votes of the
white citizens of the Southern
States; not a single thing, in fact, to
point to, to explain this vast and
appalling expenditure of the peo
ple’s money. Even the costly
and disastrous miscalled “recon

Pumpkins for Cows. —From a
peck of seed dropped and covered
in the gaps of a cornfield a dairy of
nine cows has been kept up to sum
mer milking, and the quality of
the butter is super-excellent, and
fix heifer calveft from the above
are as fat as moles. The cows are
fatter, too, than a majority of the
cattle slaughtered. These cows
have been making about six pounds
of butter per week, besides supply.-
ing new milk and cream for a gen
tleman’s house with sixteen in
mates. The pumpkins are chopp
ed up in the managers with a spade
morning, noon and night, about
half a bushel each time when cut
into pieces. They eat while being
milked morning and night, and
they come to the yard and go into
tbe stable for half an hour at noon.
Beets, carrots, and some other roots
and smali ears of corn will follow,
so as to keep u;> the milk during
the winter. — Cor. Country Gentle

•i'ne wind serves, he says, innu
merable ‘useful purposes, a water
carrier,a seed and pollen spreader,a
scavanger, a drying machine, an
aitist, etc. But “it is probable
that the greater part of us never
entertain towards it any lively sen
timents of gratitude, but think on
ly oi occasional lenefits, as, when
on the evening of a sultry day, a
a breeze springs up and brings us
coolness ; or when, at last, it con
veys our ship into port after a
weary voyage.”
W ithout wind, all the other cle>-
