THapanncr-Watehniaii Is making
i* very determined fight for prohibi
tion in Athens. It looks notv as If
8t will win the flglit, and we sincerely
teepeU will.
BionT.r.DßmiKK, of Virginia, is
bringing himself into ridicule in the
fjnited States senate about as fast as
-.any man ever did in so short a time.
On several occasions be has cast
bis single vote against all the votes of
<oftbs-others tenstors.
The British, foreos under Gen.
iStewarl, who fought a severe battle
with fho Arabs, in the Soudan, two
weeks ago. were not heard from since
(Jie battle till Wodceiday. Groat an
easiness was ieit throughout Bug-
Sand. It was feared they bad been
•evatqrhelmcd and every man killed.
Emory Bfek.ii hasn’t, the moral

Oeorgla, ami yet lie has the effrontery
-of the notorious carput-bagger* oi itie
reconM ruction era, and is the willing
tool in the hands of an administra
tion llnit h always been antagonist
ic t*<<liebest interest! of the South.
There Is a faint possibi 't,' that the
eenato will refuse to confirm, and that
lie will not bo foisted upon us.
Three terrifl| eCpioslous of dyna
mite occu rrert In Louden last Sat ur
dav.and great destruction was caused,
(to Jives were lost though a number
-of perrons were Injured. One explo
sion was in the Parliament house,
another in Westminister hail and the
ether in the historic tower of I-o in lon.
Those>yxploaione were caused by the
enemies of the, British government,
ami while humorous srrests have
been made there is no satisfaetpry
•clue to the perpetrators of the crimes.
Tlicse dastardly attempts at Iho de
•etruoti-on of the lives of innocent peo
ple, have aroused the indignation of
ithe wholo civilized world, and the
denunciation of thim has been almost
universal. Tliey are perpetrated by
a tit <rf fanatics who imagine they
arc doing tlie nan so off rotud a service
but they are groatiy deprecated by
the Irish as a people, who recognize the
fact that this use of dynamite is of
detriment to the cause of
this down trodden people. England's
Irish policy is oppressive in the ex
treme,'but the remedy can never be
brought about by dynamite.

Du Monday, tho old Liberty Hell
was stopped for t short while at the

“I feel most deeply complimented
by this reception, and the expressions
that accompany it. I wgs sick iu bed
when this notice reached me,and I im
anedialely rose when I hlard that
that .glorious uiiA bell was at the sta

“1 thank you and your associates,

Marmon’zlug tendencies oi this jour
eicy of the old bell across tho states of
the union, some of which had not
prung into existence when its tones
dm tilled tho air, may, in every re
spect, bb fVjily realized. T think the
time lias come when reason should b
substituted for passion, and when
tneu who have fought iu support of
their tioueat couvictions should do
justice to each other. .“You sacred
engiiti that gave voice to the proudest
declarations that a handful of men
ever made when they faced the great

A handful of men declared to all the

the defence of this declaration, thou
it was with your clear toues you scut

or die for liberty, aiul felt that the

eign money. We have always argued
that when Athens made a break that
the other larger cities surely
fail into line.”
