WHICH WE HAD A SMALL GAME
Nothing can he more detestable than the
''email games" of politicians. Thu secret
manipulation* of partlea, for the purpose
of overriding honesty and consistency,
should meet with tearless denunciation,
Tunny that time confer* right and propriety
upon such underbuilding*, i* to conlesa to
a duplicity that no honest man can üb
scrlbe to.
The complaint ha* tiecu that the hotter
claase* full to do their duty in primary
gatherings, Hint the preparatory arrange
menta for nomination* and election! arc
left to the brazen aud easy consciences; and
that, therefore, the will and desire of the
great people are not aecured.
The appeal is conntantly made to men
of character and thought, of probity and
honor, to come forward and take their
proper places in the very bteginningtoftlie
political contCHt. We confes* that wo have
joined in this appeal, Hut our recent ex
pericnce convince* u* that the nianipula
tor* of election* are insincere in ttielt firo
fcHHlona, and speak witli the lip* what they
undo in tint practice. A* thing* go, fair,
transparent, honest men, have no allowing
at such nic&ingx, and retire from them !u
suited and Injured.
The methods of manipulation ore dls
honorahlu and dishonoring beyond our
power to describe. We charge no man
with evil intentions. We honor no one
with the intention to iu*ult a largo com
inuulty of honest men. Mut we distinctly
characterize the resolution offered by Mr.
Must at last Thutsday's meeting a* a gross
injustice to hundreds who have a right to
lie heard and to alllliatc now and hence
forth with the Democratic party of Gcor
gia. We have yet to meet the Democrat
who endorses it. We have yet to meet
the citizen who is not outraged by it-
And we call for the purpose of its oHer
ingr What did it mean? Did it mean
that Radicals should not take part in the
proceedings of Hint meeting’' Then it
was without muauing, for it is well known
that tlio gentlemen present were all of one
way of political thinking in regard of the
present issues before the country. Did it
■nenri to cut otr from the right of fran
chise in the selocllou of a candidate, those
who, hitherto have taken no active part in
such proceedings, since old lino Whig
gory divided the population of Georgia!’
Then it was nil iusult to muny prominent
citizens who wore there piescut, and. who
did not vote in consequence of the mis
erablo and undemocratic gag. Did it
mean an insult to one of tiie candidates,
who, beyond all doubt, was the foremost
man in that mooting ? Then it deserve*
the deepest execration! What did it
mean f
Wo demand an answer In behalf of out
raged common sense. We menu too, to
have our answer, gentlemen, before we
proceed in this campaign. We nro not
in the habit, we hope, of overrating our
position or influence, but we aio in the
habit of understanding what we are about.
The duly we owe to the people and to the
truth is paramount. It rank* ull party

it 1* impartially di
rected, to prodigies The
expanding mind, casting aside all iron
01. :es of dogmatic prohibition, and search
ing for the truth everywhere will become
hecturtomed to t|s presence in the most un
locked for places.
Only of late years lias it dawned on the
advanced thought of the civilized world,
that those nations and [reoples commonly
assigned to the regions of unrelieved dark
ness, po*aeased archives of the most sub
tle, origins! and comprehensive philoso
phies, and literatures equal, at least, in
finesse, to that of which western nations
make their boast.
In the delicate tracery of thoughti the
boldness, if not clearness, of diction ;-the
voliiminousncas of production, we are not
in'eonditlou to claim super-eminence. And
every year, in all departments of philoso
phy and literature, if not in the sciences
and arts, the civilized mind in its patient
studies backward, is finding itself marvel
ously anticipated by hundreds if not thou
sand* of year*
It is an axiom of it lieuthenism to which
we send missionaries that, ' w hile relig
ion* are many, reason is one.” And a
principle in hektlien philosophy, older than
our records of systems, reads, "Action,
either mental, verbal, or eorporeal, hear*
good or evil fruit, at itself it good or evil.'’
We are not surprised, therefore, liialth.
study of hcallien religious bus had a de
fined tendency to compel an overhauling
of our own, and a deep scrutiny of the phi
losophy of cliurchiy institutions —In their
antagonistic attitudes. The fact is, heath
enism lias turned missionary to Christian
nation* und countries, und is erecting its
standards side by side with the proud piles
of Christian pride and bigotry.
Nothing is truer than, lliut the adequate
teat of any given law is the universality of
it. That is not binding which is not sov
ereign, in matter* of conscience.
The counter war, therefore, which Inis
been inaugurated by heathen systems upon
Western civilization und form* of belief,
IniH naturally created alarm, and turned
the eye of investigation inwardly. The at
titude of Christian sects toward one anoth
er, bus never been a pleasing picture, even
to the most devout mind, while to “ the
world ” it has been a standing evidence,
either of insincerity of character, or want
of truth.
And the failures of missionary enter
prises, within the strict domain of their
ostensible object, are seriously laid at the
doer of sectarian bigotry. Evidently there
is a "loose screw” somewhere, or else the
truth in wanting conviction in the chosen
instrumentation of ils dltl’uslnn. The <>th

ills Glare was not without powerful
auxiliary arguments, and created no little
surprise to the most religious propagand
ists. The presence of the “Heathen
Chinee," the liuddhist Mystifyers, the
Arab Moonshees, and the Vedantin Philos
ophers, hawking their intellectual nnd re
ligious wares in the public streets of a
Christian metropolis, and finding listeners,
buyers and prosylites, struck fear nnd
alarm upon the good Archbishop's soul,

The heathen religionists and philoso
phers designated, have not only actually
beguu their crusadu, but are daily proving
that tlio “most civilized nation on earth’'
is lacking in natural candor aud Christian
charity. The chicanery and questionable
honesty of a “nation of shopkeepers" is
severely rebuked, nnd that publicly, by
heathen missionaries from the lud and tho

A JUBt"VeCISION.
Judge Cole lias given his derision ad
versely to the Southwestern Railroad aud
the American Telegraph Company. The
history of this suit reveals an interesting
struggle of a monopoly against enterprise,
in violation of all laws and the dictates of
genuine progress.
The Southern and Atluntic Telegraph
Company believed it hod authority to erect
itsline along the monopolized road, under
act of Congress of July, 16GG, aud under
act of Georgia legislature during last ses
sion The Western Union Telegraph
Company, with the Southwestern Railroad
Company thought differently, and filed an
injunction to prevent, etc., etc. Ilia Honor,
Judge Cole, decided in favor of the South
ern and Atlantic Telegraph Company, in
which decision all anil monopolies will
heartily concur. The Southern and At
lantic Company is proceeding with its
good work.

questions thrown in by demagogues und
small politicians witli wonderful accura
cy and perspicuity. lie took the true
ground, which w e liave all the time occu
pied, that the issues settled by the war
were secession and the negro question.
These being accepted as finally disposed
of, he pointed out with great clearness the
method by which Hie remnants of constitu
