We have read the leading editorial iu
the Atlanta Herald of yesterday, ihc 2<ltli,
entitled “A Slight Chastisement,” personal
to the editor of the Enterprise. It fur
nishes food for reflection on n peculiar
phase of w lmt is termed “modern journal
ism," as illustrated by some controlling the
columns of a newspaper Einperlcnl jour
nalism is easily detected. L'uliae charity,
it vuunteth itself, is unseemly, is pulled up.
The m tide of the Herald is a forcible il
lustration iu point. It is not onr purpose
however, further to notice it, in the ab
sence of the editor of the Enterprise
This much we could hardly refrain.
But we have a few words more on llie
general subject.
Too many of the newspujier press of
this country lisvo a habit, as we have
heretofore hu<l occasion to observe, in a
somewhat lengthy relationship with il, of
indulging in personalties that must he
highly edifying to the lovers of lliut style
of writing. The great rmn -cm, however,
are not pleased with il, and it is disgust
ing to the refined reader We have nev
er, In all our experience n m editor, been
aide to admire it, ami have never Indulged
In it, whatever the provocation to do so
may have been Why amicable relations
and courtesy of speech should not charac
terize the intercourse of editors us well
us others, we have never been able to find
a satisfactory reason. There n courtesy

lawyers, doctors and ollrct e though con
stantly diduring as widely as edih rs.
Nearly Hie entire newspaper press of
this country is tending to personality.
Tin- “lie is passed," and tlieie the matter
rests -no serious const rpteni is resulting.
We have always thought that this habit of
editors lias a hail effeet upon the young,
who are an largely educated hy the news
paper Il teaches llirm the use of terms
that had their origin in human depravity,
and are only to lie employed iu Hie heat,
of passion oi Hie premeditated onslaught
of defamation But they are so common
In the newspaper Hist their Irativit to the
lips of susceptible childhood and youth, is
easy. The truth is, if they do not lisp in
terms of vituperation they ate neatly the
first they learn.
Of course It is usolevi to urge a reforma
tion of this habit. It - almost universality
insures its perpetuity , and while the col
umn glows and hums witli the hot breath
of passion, all else, (hough dictated with
Addisonian elegance and courtesy, will
seem tame and proflllc Votir English
newspaper rarely resorts to personal ad
jectives. Junius, the most terrible of nil
writers, cut Ids adversary to Hie heart in
the language of courtesy. His most ic
tistless passages eon tain not one word ob
jectionable to Hie most refined taste, and
yet tlio victim was not the less put to
tortute

constant use of tlie extreme terms of the
language in denunciation or praise, one
soon ceases to have terms to apply to that

It is matter for general congratulation
Unit action of Iho Central Democratic
('lull last night resulted in the utmost har
mony. as will be seen by the published
proceedings. This was what we hoped
ami advised. The long wished for time
has liuppily in rived In our midst when the
lion and the lamb can lie down together
and the little eliild can lead them. Knees
and colors, simply as such, have no politi
cal antagonisms in this election. Tliisouglil
to l>o universal throughout this broad
land, and we slr.ferely believe would be
if left to the peoplu most immediately in
teiestcd freely to uet for themselves. We
would never fear tint m t ions different es
on account of race, color, or previous eon
dltion but for outside and selllsh interests
whose elevation and iiilluence wholly de
pend upon fanning discord where none
really exists The Southern white man
and the Southern black man thoroughly
understand each other, and may continue
to live peaceably in Ibe future as in the
past, notwithstanding tlieir changed rela
tionship.
The past year in Macon, so signally de
monstrating results creditable to all cou
corned iu connection with our municipal
Hlluirs, ought to furnish a pattern for wide
spread imitation. "Equal and exact justice
to all molt." is our motto. Whatever be
the issues that may divide men into parties
iu the future, that of color simply, has
become obsolete. The black man, sur
prised as bo Inis lrecit into full lledged,
citir.eusblp, will gradually so educate him
self that he cau cast an intelligent suf
frage upon issues that arc alike common
to all classes aud conditions, in local as
well as State and National allaire. Mr. Hull
is emphatically tin: propyls'cyndipitk,
and will have no opposition to his re elec
tion.

REMEDY FOR THE HORSE DIS
EASE.
The following is the treatment employ
ed by the Express Company for the equine
epidemic, now so wide spread. It is giv
en under the authority of il. J. O’Brien.
Esq , the General Superintendent, and has
proved very satisfactory in its results :
When the symptoms are first noticed,
commence feeding warm mashes of bran
and cut hay. Give water after the feed—
not before. Keep the borse well and
warmly blanketed. Do not use the horse
unless compelled to do so, and then he
must not be driven faster than a walk.
Put on a blanket whenever lie is standing
still. If the horse refuses to eat the mush,
then give him oat-meal gruel; give n
quart or two at a time ; pour it down or
give it from a bottle.
The horse will have a sore throat. Ex
amine, and when seen, apply the following
mixture outwardly, rubbing thoroughly
from the jaws to the chest twice a day
Take and mix four (4) ounces Arnica, (4)
ounces Chloroform, four (4) ouuces Am
monia, and four (4) ounces Biveet Oil, in
addition to the out-meal remedy. You
will buy a piece of quarter inch rubber
tube or pipe, eighteen inches long ; put iu
one end about a tablcspoonful of finely
pulverized uluui, insert the tube in the
mouth to and beyond the roots of the ton
gue, and then blow the powder in the
throat. Use this when the throat becomes
sore or much irritated. L'se tills with dis
cretion.
liuy an eight ounce rubber ball sy
ringe, and inject up each nostrei the fol
lowing mixture four times in the tweuty
fonr hours, and continue until you are
well satisfied that the liquid has gone
well up the nostrels : Mixture—One pound
of Chloride of Potash to three gallons of
soft water mix thoroughly.
Should Hie horse be taken with chills,
it is a sure evidence of lung fever, and
immediate care is required. You will
then give thirty (30) drops of the follow
ing mixture every hour until the horse is
relieved One ounce of Aconite and three
ounces of water ; mix and use.
The horse must he kept from the rain
and cold winds. The stall must be kept
free of wet or moisture, using saw dust to
soak it up. aud take it off immediately.
Feed light food aud give plenty of fresh
uir , a little water often—not cold. Keep
the stable clean—use a little Chloride of
Lime about the floor.
Watch your horses day acd night. Good
care and warm covering will do as much
as uiediciue.
