Gladstone after a good deal of backing
nnd tilling, resumes the Portfolio of Prime
Minister of England. He lias managed his
cards in the crisis just closed in a style
which would have given credit to Talley
rand, to Palmerston or Marlin Van
Buren.
In his management of the ordeal through
which he has just passed, he has shown
himself to lie a shrewed politician and
comes out with many laurels justly won.

At the time we write the hell of the

which leaves behind sons aud daughters

Rev. Mr. Bass.
We were there but a few minutes but
what we heard was fine indeed. •• The
Proud Miss McUrydc " by John Q. Saxe,

audience the strictest attention and com
manded their silence.

We call the attention of our members of
the Board of Trade to our City Council
and citizens at large to its facts aud sug
gestions.
This county alone is ready to subscribe
a quarter of a million of dollars to build
the road and afterwards to open relations
of amity and commerce with the city of
Macon. And in conversation to-day Mr. 1
Root. Hardeman said that Gwinnett couu
ty “always had ready money to pay for
what it purchased." “ You see,” he con
tinned, “ that people raise their own pro
visions, and hence, don’t ask for credit.” !
Which is a trade we aie not used to.

The Grand Juries and the Bond
Cpmpromise
“The Grand Jury of Coweta county,
in making their presentments, condemn
the so called conpromise offered the Stale
by the Bond King. This is a step in the
right direction ; this is action eminently
proper. We hope tUatjllie grand Juries t>f
every county in the State will give the
matter their attention before'the*re-assem
bling of the legislature. It is perhaps
too late now for action to be taken at tho
Spring terms of the Courts, as most of
them have been held, but when the Fall
ridings commence the presentments may
be made and the Legislature be furnished
another evidence of the feeling of the peo
ple on this subject. Grand jurors are se
lected from among the best, the most up
right and intelligent cili/.ens of the State,
and more accurately reflect public senti
ment than any other body which can be
organized. Their utterances to the opin
ions of no other body in Georgia. Le
the example set by Coweta county be imi
tated In every county, nnd when the Legis
lature meets next January it will he ns
well informed of the views of the people
on the bond question as if a special elec
tion had been held in order to ascertain
their opinion." —Auyista Chronicle and
Sentinel.
The coolest piece of effrontery we ever
saw was the proposition made by three
bondholders to the 1 Slate of Georgia, nnd
the threat they backed it with.
Confessing that they had bought
llieni knowing them to have been
fruuduleully issued in that they got them
for a song, they cunie forward through
their representative, one Col. Sneed, and
asked that *we at least give hack
what they had paid for them! And then
intimated that üßless we accepted this
proposition wc never could borrow any
more money. As if these dealers in coun
terfeit securities could affect the credit of
auyhody, much less that of the great State
of Georgia.
We ameud the suggestion of the Chron
icle and Sentinel to the Grand Juries :
1. To carefully inquire if there is any
one in their counties who have been guilty
of cheating and swindling by handling
and disposing of fraudulent Bonds of the
State of Georgia, and if so a tiue bill to
retnrn therefor.
2. To inquiro if there arc any accessories
after the fact, in that they have beeq con
spiring to defruud the State of Georgia by
aiding and abetting theso common chqats
and swindlers.
3. To inquire if Clews, Bullock and their
accomplices have not and are not now
paying money to the end that their cheat
aud swindle may have u successful ter
mination.
It is a fact not controverted that those
bonds were fraudulently issued, were put
forth in violation of law, that they bear
fraud upon their face and tho low price
now admitted which they brought, uner
ringly proves that those who bought them
knew what they were buying. You
could, therefore, with as great propriety
ask a bank to puy a counterfeit bill, and
tell its President, “ Sir, I paid $2 for this
S2O kill, and unless you at least give me
back tho $2 1 will break down the credit
f your institutition I ” Instead of paying
the demuuds of tho scoundrel n police
man should bo sent for.
The St. Patrick's Day festivities.
That Irishmen who have thrown off the
shackles of the British subject and taken to
themselves the easy yoke of American cit
izenship should yet iondly remember a
red-letter day in the calendar of their
mother land is not very astonishing. The
naturalized Irishman, in ninety-nine
cases out of a hundred, has nothing in
the government of his laud, in its form
or its administruliou, to cause him a
single regret m accepting allegiance to
the Republic. lie becomes a fervent
lover of the now government and the new
land because lie never cousideied the Brit
ish government as morally his aud because
its laws combined to make him a stranger ou
his own soil. But his nature is of the
moat conservative in its affections and dis
likes. Under the outward feeling of bit
terness to all things English there lives a
profound love for his oklen land, its out
lawed nationality, its faith, which Eng
land has contrived to identify with that
nationality, aud the dear domestic tics
that blossomed perhaps in hunger, cold
and misery, lie has no great national
day in the secular sense, for that would
surely be identified with some triumph of
the government he most hates. lie falls
back, tlieu ou St. Patrick's Day because,
though nominally a religious festival.it car
ries his mind far hack through the troubled
ceuturies to the time when Granua Aile
was mother and queen of his green island,
and no strangers, save the pilgrims of
learning, were said to Ire found upon the
island’s breast. It is the only day in the
year which, as the festival of a Christian
nation, has arrived the wreck of her
fortuues. The fires of St. John’s Ere are
relics of she old fire worship of the pagau
times. St. Patrick's Day ia Christian, and
goes back ceuturies before the incursions
and partial expulsion of the Norscmeu.and.
of course,long before Strougbow came from
England at the call of the Irish chief
McMurrough. Although ia the Roman
calendar St. Patrick's Day can be duly
found, it is not as a religious festival that
■ i* most revered, but a sentimental eni
bodiment of deep-hearted lore and old,
; tenacious hope for the nationality so long
i crushed and shattered.
; * The processions of thousands and thou
sands of adopted citizens of Irish birth,
which have annually for so many years
past paraded our streets, are gathered to
gether under this link of a common and
beautiful sentiment. It is easy to sneer at
sentimeut, particularly when it is of the
dream order aud indulged in by thou
sands cl stalwart meu ; but a suecr
in America cannot be expected by the
most egotistic cynic to destroy what cen
turies of bitter persecution across the At
lantic failed to stamp out.— H. T. Herald

CONFEDERATE MONUMENT.
Avgusta, Ga., March, 1873.
There is, ever, a sadness in the death of
friends, and it is intensified in that of our near
est and dearest relatives. Death is natural. It
is inevitable, sooner or later. All must yield
to the Ruler of graves. We allude to death as
it comes in the ordinary dispensations of Prov
idence. In such cases, families vreep, friends
mourn the loss of friends. But, to them, there
is the consolation of having watched by their
sick beds, ministered to their wants, heard
their last words, and finally closed their eyes
when their spirits took their eternal flight.—
But how different it is when our fathers, our
children, our friends, die upon fields of battle.
In the one case, there is private grief; in the
other, public sympathy; When oue dies for
his country, the public feel that a friend and
defender is lost. In this case, there is private
grief, and a sense of public calamity. We felt
that, in the war. and we have become ungrate
ful and degenerate if we do not feel it now.
tome, then, people of Georgia and the
South, and let us respond to our sentimente
entertained In the hour of danger. Come,
then, and place your offerings upon the tomb
of your martyrs! It can be cheaply done.—
Five dollars, or four, or three, or two, or one
dollar, or 50 cents, will place you on the roll of
honor. Surely every man and woman In Geor
gia, and where known, iu the South, will re
spond upon terms so moderate. Come then,
now, at once, and honor your lost defenders
and yourselves. If your patriotism or your
pride ia not asleep you will do it The Monu
ment is to represent the dead of even- South
ern State. It is for Lee, Jackson, Johnston,
Polk, and every oflicet and private who died in
obedience to the calls of the Confederate States
