The point' arising in the case of Mt*

competency of a State exectstire to fill n
vacancy of this peculiar character. Sena
tor Wadleigh’a time, says the Baltimore
Bun, expired on the 81 of March, 1878,
By reason of a change in the oonslitu*
tioa of New Hampshire two Legislatures
were elected laBt year, one under the old
constitution, the other under the new,
tho term of the latter body not beginning
nntil Jane, 1879. The Senate committee
on privileges and elections of the Forty-
fifth Congress decided that Senator Wad*
leigh’a successor must be eldcted by the
Legislature under the new constitution
which does not meet till June, and, the
old Legislature being.in recess at the
time eftho call of the extra session of
Congress, the Governor of t*he State, on
the 13th of Marob, appointed Mr. Bell as
Mr. Wadleigh’a successor, and until the
Legislature should meet.
It is contended by the majority of the
Senato Committee of Privileges and Eleo*
tions that no sufficient warrant can be
fonndinthe Constitution for an execu
tive of a State to claim the right to make
a temporary appointment of a Senator at
the beginning of a term which the Leg-
ieiature has not undertaken to fill. Tho
authority of the Governor to make suoh
temporary appointments, the majority
say, “is limited to filling vacancies which
happen in a term which had been pre
viously filled by the Legislature.” They
claim, also, that all the decisions of the
Senate in similar cases for the past fifty
pubhoaa and hia majority 1,700. As tho

were made at variance with the rule, but
the majority claim that there were none
later than that date, and therefore that
the interpretation put by them upon the
Constitution is fully established by cus
tom and reiterated precedent.
The minority of the oommittee, on the
other hand, rest their case on precedents
from 1797 to 1825, oontendlhat avsoanoy
has happened, in the terms of the consti
tution, by “resignation or otherwise,”
and that the executive was consequently
authorized to make (the appointment.
The constitution, they olaim, meant to
have the Senate always fall. The ma
jority depend in a great measure upon
the decision of the Senate in the case of
James Linmi>p. of Connecticutt, in 1825,
who came up with credentials “to lake
elfeot iinn.tum.tlj after the third day of
Marob, 182o, and to hold the seat nntil
the next meeting of the Legislature |
Lanman was rtfuaed a seat by a vote of
twenty-three to eighteen.
The minority confront this precedent
with an opinion of Judge Taney, when
Attorney General, in whioh he claimed
that tho term “happen” in the ccnatitu.
tion means “happen to exist” or “oome
to pass,” and said, farther, “the constitu
tion was formed for practical purposes,
and a construction that defeats the very
object of the grant of power cannot be a
true one. It was the intention of the
constitution that the offices created by
law should always be full.” It is evident
from the case, as stated, that Senators
can believe with the majority or with the
minority either, and yet be entirely free
from partisanship.

Vance, the new North Carolina Sena,
tor, is reported as saying, in an inter
view;
If Congrees votes the necessary suppjies
and the President vetoes tho bill furnish
ing the supplies, the people are going to
say that the President is the man who
stops these supplies. I know they tell
us the Bepnblican orators ou the stump
will show tbe people that it is Congrees
and not the President who stops the sup
plies. But it our orators on the stump
can’t show the people that it is the Pres
ident who stops the wheels of government
and not Congress, we had better put np the
shutters, go home and lot somebody run
tbe party who knows how.
We think that muBt be about the way
of it. A man who starves to death before
a bountiful table with full liberty to eat
bis fill, must plead suicide and not mur
der. We know all the staff urged by the
Eepubhcans on the matter of political
legislation in appropriation bills; but as
they themselves have practiced such leg
islation to a great extent, this talk comes
with a very bad graoe from them. The
most important legislation which it is
proposed to repeal in these appropriation
bills, the Republicans passed originally
in that pricise shape. The jurors* test
oath law, which is one of the provisions
proposed to be repealed, is admitted to
have been already repealed, and to be
now on the etatute book, solely in virtue
of a mistake or a trick of the compiler
of the Revised Statutes, and yet the sec
ond repeal of that unjust and oppressive
requisition is made a reason for stopping
the wheels of the government.
Last Tuesday Mr. Bayard, of Dela
ware, with a view of conciliating objec
tors to political legislation in appropria
tion bills, introduced a separate bill in
the Senate respealing this test oath leg
islation and appealed to the Senate, in
the interests of harmony, for immediate
action on the bill: but was met with a
prompt refusal by Senator Edmunds, who
demanded that the bill be referred to the
Judiciary Committee. The Bichmond
Dispatch, reporting this event, says:
In the Senate to-day Mr. Bayard said:
“I ask the unanimous consent to put this
bill upon its passage at once without re
ferring it to a committee. It repeals the
two sections of tne Bevised Statutes
which prescribe test oaths and disqualifi
cations for jurors in United States courts,
and which practically exclude the great
body of the people of Intelligence and
character from the juror’s hoc in the
Southern States. The Senate has already
signified its approval of this bill, and in
view of the situation of public affairs,
which is well known and oomprekended by
tho Senate, I earnestly ask that no objec
tion will be made to the present consider
ation and passage of the bill. I will not
debate it, but, offering it in the spirit
and for the sake of justice andjkind reel
ing among our countrymen and between
political parties in the two houses of Con
gress, I earnestly hope that tbe unani
mous consent, whioh I know to be neoeg.
sary for its immediate passage may be
granted.” Mr. Edmunds, with delibera
tion, and with evident satisfaction, said
he objeoted, and proceeded to give some
very insufficient reasons for this arbitrary
aetion, saying that as the Demoorato had
control of the oommittee to whioh it
wonld be referred, he hoped they would
report a satisfactory substitute for seoilon
821. He was willing to have seotioa 820
repealed, as bad been done in 1870. He
admitted that it was now on the statute-
book beosnae of a mistake of the com
piler of'the statutes.
This sufficiently illustrates the animus
of the politicians who are anxions to go
before the country with tbe plea that the
rebels are at their old tricks sgaio, and
having failed to whip out tho govern
ment by force and arms, now propose to
starve it out by refusing to make appro
priations.
They rely, as a matter of course, on an
unreasoning and unreasonable sectional
prejudice for the ability to make this plea
available. It is not to be disguised that
this prejudice will come alrongly to their
aid. It enabled them to count out Tilden
and to count in Hayes, and has enabled
them to continue the test oath legislation
in force after it is admitted to have been
repealed. But it muet be confronted at
last, lest government, ballot and every
thing become a farce by the failure to
rebuke usurpation.
If in the teeth of precedent, the rights
of a congressional majority and the defer
ence due enlightened public opinion, Mr.
Hayes stops liberal supply bills by a veto,
the queetion of responsibility must be
met before the people and it must bs laid
where it belongs.

A Momentous Anniversary.
Eighteen years ggo on yesterday, the
t ist gun of tbe lite ■waanenratfnl attempt
; revolution boomed ReAk from tbe bat-
tlemenat of Fort 8amlay,' reve*erating
from dto Atlantic to tbe Paoiflo shore;
from the eonfines cf Cmifr to lie south-
ermost key of Florida. The eoboes had
hardly died away before from every quar
ter, North, Soutb, East end West, armed
men sprang forth like hydros, and soon
the nation swarmed with angry combat
ants. Who* a world of din oeeasqoeneee
ensued! %>* mOBy stasksn end damn-
gained fields furnished their heoitombs
of victims to this terrible straggle for
freedom end independence. How mighty
were the efforts pat forth by the inchoate
Southern Republic, which stood isolated
and alone, begirt by enemies and without
a sympathising friend. The heroism of
her sons, the generalship of her leaders,
the fortitude of her daughters, the un
paralleled exertions of a people who were
emphtlieally thrown upon their own re
sources, and hemmed in from all the
world, famish a chapter iu history whioh
will suffer nothing in oomptrison with
tha proudest achievement of ancient or
modern times.
Who is the superior of Robert E. Lee
or Stonewall Jackson ? What heart more
gallant and true ever beat iu human bo
som, than that which sent the life-blood
through the frame of our own Birtow 7
What more preolous offerings to liberty
were ever made than the blood of CoL
Smith, CoL John B. Slurges, Gen. T. B.
B. Cobb, and thousands of others less
prominent in position, but equally brave
and worthy ? And though, by the In
scrutable ordering of a wise, over-ruling
Providence, all this blood and sacrifice
failed to accomplish its objeot, still a ra
diant halo of glory will ever overspread
the graves and memories of those who
died in defsnse of Southern liberty. For
these reasons the anniversary of the at
tack upon Fort Sumter will ever awaken
the profoundest emotions and sympathies
of our people.
A Plea lor Pistols—Sanus.
In our Friday’s issue a communication
appeared under the sonbriquet o!“Sanne/>
which presented an odd but moBt reada
ble melange of facta and fiction.
The writer says, “in my hnmble spin-
ion, pis’ols are useful and necessary;
they have had almost as much influence
in snpprcesing crime, lawlessness and
rowdyism in Goorgia as our poorly execu
ted laws have.”
The former portion of the above propo
sition, we sre prepared to admit, bat in
part only. Pistols are “nsefal and necessa
ry” to protect one’s wife and family from
violence in disturbed and lonely districts.
Who wonld leave borne on an isolated
plantation without plaoing in his wife’s
hands a potent and unerring revolver to
protect her honor from tramps, thieves
and outlaws?
Who would bo the custodian of treasure
on tbe road, or elsewhere, unless pro
vided with the means of defending it
from sudden attack ?
Who would be willing to expose his
life to the murderous onslaught of some
infuriated demon who had eworn to take
it, unless prepared to slay the would-be
assassin, if forced to do so for his own
protection?
Who would walk the streets of a crow
ded city at night alone, in times of riot
and excitement, without his trusty re
volver to repel drunken violence? And
eo the cases may be multiplied where pis
tols are really useful. But they should
not be conoealed, and any man who car
ries them for a legitimate purpose should
not only bs willing to wear them
openly but be glad to do so as the means
perhaps of averting an attack.
The mere carrying of concealed weap
ons, however, while engaged in the ordi
nary business of life, and perfectly safe,
is a cowardly and reprehensible praotice,
and we join issue with “Sanus’’ when he
says they are more potent in ‘‘suppress,
ing crime” than our “poorly executed
laws.” The very reverse of this is true.
It is safe to sav that nine out of ten of
the homicides and murders committed in
the country are the result of the habit of
carrying concealed weapons. Two yonng
men getinto a little 4ispnte,and ins tan ter,
deadly shots are substituted for words.
A man, harmless when sober, imbibes
too freely, and forthwith is transformed
into a very demon and tries to ehoot
friend or foe alike. A diatnrbance oo.
cars ou the hustings or at some public
g?ts-ring, and, in a second, pistols are
wu !>,>ed out and a general melee, result-
log in carnage and deatb,ensnes. Even
God’s sanctnary has been violated by the
sharp report of the pistol, audits sacred
aisles stained with the gore of its victim.
Hence, the only safeguard to the pnb
lio is the enforcement of the law la every
instaose.
Whenever a pistol is disclosed in any
qnarrel or dispute, have the offender ar
rested and let the Judge visit upon him
the extreme penalty of the law. If the
indictment be for assault and battery, a
separate account should be taken of the
offense of wearing conoealed weapons,
and justice should be meted out for that
also. In short, let publio sentiment aid
the police in estopping this barbarons
custom, and it will be far more efficacious
than passing a statute banishing pistols
from the State. Such a law could never
be enforced.
Our correspondent is mistaken also in
the assertion that the use of pistols hae
stopped *11 the fiat fights and broils in tbe
country. Eaongh of these, in all con-
scieace, etill continue, even on our own
streets. Bat better far have a thousand
such encounters than one murder. In
suoh casos, when the heated blood is al
lowed to cool, reason resumes her sway,
and late antagonists often become fast
friends. Indeed, ib hat grown almost
into a proverb that the way to make an
enemy love yon is to give him a sonnd
drubbing. But the arguments of “Sa
nus," amusing and plausible though they
be, aro really not worthy of serious con
sideration. A plea in behalf of the ha-
bitual wearing of pistols u a plea in favor
of bloodshed and murder. These, and
these only, are the results and corollaries
of this demoralising and harmful prac
tice.

This dramatic rendering in vstae ot
one of the most startling paaaagwgisf sa
cred history, oompoeedfrf CL B. TT*mk*IL
the muBio by J. A. Battlefield, - is soon
to be reproduced in Macon, under the
auspices of tbe LadMa Meaoer Aid So
ciety by a company of lady and gen
tlemen amatotna. They embraoe tbe
very first musical talent of ear city, and
many of ita most popular and pretoenrat
citizens.
This sacrid opera hae been produqgfi
time and again in aU of the prisaipal
t.eaef the Union, ard fcasever been
greeted with unbounded applause and
admiration. It is calculated to inspire a
spirit of inquiry among those who
perhaps have never read the scrip,
tares, and who, in seeking to be
informed concerning the oontext and
surroundings of the events narrated In
song, mayperchanoe discover other riehes
in God’s hely Word, whioh, like breed
sown upon the waters, may be gathered
even after many days. The opera is ex
quisite in all its parts, and oannot fail to
command tbe attention and presenoe of
onr people. When it la known, too, that
the objeot of all tha training and labor
on the put of onr musical experts is to
raise a sum of money for tbe edornmen*
and permanent Improvement .of tbe
grounds of Meroer University, tbe heart
of every citizen will oertainly beat in
nnison with the sneoessof tbe enterprise.
These grounds for want of means, remain
sterile and uncultivated, and subtract
muoh from the real grandeur of
the elegant edifice which has been erected
at euch heavy oost. Properly graded,
planted with shade trees and laid off in
picturesque walks, the extensive park or
campus could be transformed into a scene
of beauty and delight to the beholder.
This is the object now sought to be ao*
complished, and every lover of old Mercer
and all who sympathize with the progress
of letters and the growth of the noble
institutions of learning in Macon, ought
to come up unanimously and enthasiasti-
cally to the support of this meritorious
movement in behalf ot our cherished
University.
We are aware that a few “W. B’a.” (wat
blankets; are to be found in onr midst
who damn the movement with faint
praise. Bnt their earplugs, it is hoped
and believed, will not hart mnob, and we
do not despair of being able to convert

which biB been so generously under
taken.
We shall hevo more to asy concerning

only hope that the whole community will

Board of education.
The Board of Ednostion for Bibb
oonnty held its regular quarterly meeting
for April yeBterday. The report of the
Superintendent showed a very flourishing
aad oven crowded oondition of the
sohools. The fands on hand and ex-
peoted will carry the schools to the 31st
day of May next, at whioh time the pnb
lio sohools will cease for the soholastio
year, leaving suoh teachers as may de
sire to do eo, tooontinne the schools an
other month on tbe pay system, and on
their own responsibility, under the gen
eral snpsrvision of ths Superintendent.
The country schools, both white and
colored, will reopen for the next echclis.
tic year in the middle of June, experience
having proven that a better attendance is
attainable in tho country schools in the
summer months than in the winter.
The city schools, as to their publio and
free character, will suspend until the
middle of September next, the funds,
with the exception of a email balance,
being sufficient to carry them only until
tbe 31st of May next. The Board is
resolute in its determination not to incur
debt by overrunning the annual appro
priation and other sources of income.
The sessions at that time will have cov
ered eight months.
In order to give the eity teachers an
opportunity to examine each other’s
schools, the supernumerary, Miss Hun-
ton, will be employed next month in ac
tive service so as to relieve each teacher
for this purpose one day in the month.
HrStephena* Reaoluttons.
Speaking of Hon. A. H. Stephens’
resolutions offered in the House Demo
cratic caucus on tbe 9:b, the Knoxville
Tribune says:
If any man in the North entertains
donbtasto the position of the national
Demooraoy the resolution offered by
Hon. Alex. Stephens in the osuous yes
terday ought to dissipate that doubt.
The resolution states plainly the position
held by the Democratic party; it shows
it to be abreast of the times, to have for-
gotted the nightmare of the war, to be
alive to living Issues. As the pronun-
oiamento of the Demooraoy of the Union
to the people of tbe United States It puts,
the oase squarely, honestly and without
equivocation. The oountry is told jast
where the Demooratio party of to-day
stands, and there is not an honest man in
the Union, who understands the constitu
tion and reveres the institutions of his
oountry, who will not heartily endorse
them.
Returalnc te Use Flesh Pols.
The St Louis Globe-Democrat, a Grant
Bepublioan paper, in its issue of Wednes
day, says:
Even as the Children of Israel signed
for the fleeh.pots of Egypt, so have a few
of the colored emigrants, recently ar<
rived here from the South, already be
soms home-sick and commenced to pin9
for the milder climata and lazier life of
the State they had left. Suoh cases of
colored backsliding are of course com
paratively me, but it is nevertheless a
fact that three darky emigrants, with
their little families, left the city a few
nights ago by the steamer City of Vicks
burg for their presumably wretohed
homes in Madison parish, Louisiana.
Their passages were paid by Sells tt Co.,
cotton merchants, who have, of course,
large dealings Soutb, and whose names
are familiar to the ears of every darky
who lands here, bound Kansasward.
These poor fellows called upon Sella &
Co., represented their desire to return to
such Southern homes as they might be
able to make for themselves again, and
raid, in the faee of all the suffering, der-
titotion and duping they had met here,
they were willing aad anxious to submit
to every circumstance of Southern life
again.

The fniu la East Tennessee.
A Knox ville correspondent of the Louis
ville Courier-Journal says last week I
wrote that fears were entertained for the
fruit crop in this section. Since then we
have received a whiff from the northwest
that settles the question beyond a doubt
The Alleghanies in the southeast and the
Cumberland mountains north of us are
etill piled with snow, and last Thursday
night ice formed a quarter of an inch
thick.
A gentleman from Smoky Mountain,laBt
Friday, states that the snow was waist
deep on the side of the mountain. The
loss of the fruit crop is a sad blow to
East Tennessee, as a large revenue is
derived from that source. It is probable
that our small fruit—strawberries, rasp
berries, blackberries, etc.—are safe. We
raise the largest strawberries in East
Tennessee, the best varieties measuring
seven and eight inches in circumference,
and weighing sixteen to the pound.
These wero commencing to bloom, but
only the early blooms were injured.
Many of our gardeners saved even those,
by covering with straw. Strawberries
are as large as ordinary peaches.
The Exodus.—Tho Washington cor
respondent of the New Vork Times ot
Wednesday quotes some remarks of Sou-
tors Jonas and Lamar on this subject,
which elucidate tbe wages question.
Both Senators say the movement has no
political significance; that it is neither
general nor very extensive, the emigrants
not numbering more than 3,000 or 4,000
from Louisiana, and that it will not se
rionsly cripple the planters. Mr. Jonas
says that the freedmen’s cabins in Louis
iana are fall of highly colored pictures
of Western prairie paradises, about
which the agents of tho Western rail
roads have told them many glowing sto
lies. Mr. Lamar says that the cotton
planters do not pay wages is Mississippi,
bat share their profits, if there are any,
with their laborers. There was no cause
but the desire for a ohange, he said, for
tho present emigration.
“Cotton planting has not paid for sev
eral years past, and both planters and la
borers have had a hard time to get along.
Tho black man had, of course, tho best of
i?, for.the planter wus obliged to feed and
care for him, and he got his living
whether the crop was good or bad, or
brought a high or a low price. He sim
ply has an idea of bettering himself by
the change; that is all there is in it.”
In a hotel in Mosoow known as the
Nobel’echen Gasthaus, a yonog man en
gaged the rooms numbered 60 and 61, ob
teneibly for a family. Ho immediately
took possession, and on the following
morning went out, returning in about an
hour’s time—whether alone or with a
companion is not knofcn/althougbseveral
residents of the hotel saw two young men
in the corridor, who entered the apart
ment No. 60. For eight days the door of
No. 60 remained locked without the faot
attracting attention. Finally a disagree
able smell was deteoted pervading the
corridor, and the polioe were summoned
and broke into the chambers. In No. 60
a pidjak was found banging. In No. 61
was lying the corpse of a man, face down
ward, and the feet direoted toward tbe
door of the obamber. The head was par
tially covered with a pillow, beneath
which was a pool of congealed blood. Gn
the back of the murdered man was pinned
a paper npon whioh was written, “Trai
tor and spy, condemned and executed by
us, the Russian Socialists and Bavolu-
tionists. Death to the Jndas, death to
traitors.” The murderers are still at
large. _

SALUTATORY.
“Having purchased this newspaper
with its material and good will we take
charge of the same from this day. In
mapping out our fmtore course we shall
be brief, from the fact that the paper will
give from week to week, our views upon
all questions which may come before
us. it may not be out of the way to say
that, being temperate in all things, we
shall advocate that polioy, without, how.
ever, infringing upon the rights of others.
Onr aim will be to baild np, so far as it
may be in our power, rite material
prosperity of our State, oar country, and
more especially our beautiful Central
City. In political matters this paper will
continue unswervingly Democratic, in
dependent, however, of cliques or rings,
working only for what we honestly believe
is for the best interest our whole people.
In that respeot it will be a people’s paper.
In thus acceptiog the responsibili
ties and trusts taken npon ns, we
hope to receive the encouragement
and the patronage of our fellow-citi
zens, In their approval and in their
support will tbe future of the paper be
determined, and nothing on our part
shall be done, knowingly, to oause a pang
of remorse or pain to one of onr people.
The troth will be told, faots will be given
as they oocur, and oar opinions aj>on all
subjects npon whioh we may write,
plainly and boldly expressed. Trusting
that the fature of people may ever be
bright and prosperous, and in that pros
perity we may have a part, we close this
ax tide, leaving to the future its unwritten
record, and with the hope that we shall
not only merit but reoeiv* tha friendship
of tbe people.

The Maoon Volunteers having decided
to celebrate their fifty-fourth anniversa

Adams’ Park, the management of the

dies have signified their intention of go

Tbe pair to tbe Brave#
The heart of every member of the Phi-
Delta 8ociety was yesterday put in a dis
tinct and audible flatter by the reoeption
of a basket of exquisite flowers from the
members of the Adelphian Society of the
Wesleyan Female College. It seems tha
the yonng gentleman of the Fhi-De ta
had arranged a publio debate, to take
place at the College building, and had in
vited, among other guests, the young
ladies of the Female College. The
authorities of the College, however, de
dined to allow the young ladies to alterd,
and to console the young gentlemen for
their disappolntmentjthey sent them their
next best representative—a beautifa*
basket of flowers. The question seleoled
for the occasion wsb, “Was Hamlet In
sane ?”’*tfhe debate, whioh was to have
taken place yesterday, but has been in
definitely postponed
Tbe Griffin Firemen
_ The friends of No. 5 will read the fol
lowing paragraph from the Griffin Hews
with interest. Tbe Maoon firemen who
go np to the contest will oertainly re
seive the best treatment at tbe hainds ot
he Griffioites.
Among the other entertainments whioh
the Fire Department is providing for the
enjoyment ot the Maoon visitors on the
anniversary ia a supper, whioh, with the
lights before us, we ara tempted to call a
banquet. At a recent meeting of tbe
Department a oommittee of gentlemen
were appointed to visit the ladies of the
city and solioit their assistance in tbe
preparation and management of the sup
per, and for sevexalidays past the com’
mittee has been so engaged. While
number of ladies were not at home when
the oommittee called a great many were
seen and cheerfully promised to render
all the assistance In their power. This,
of oourse, was all that was nsoessary to
insure tbe suooess of tbe Bupper, and our
Maoon friends can proceed to anticipate a
good lime.
Tbe Park.
The Park is cow In elegant oendilion
far the Euter picnics. Mr. C. H. Free
man, In whose handa the keeping of the
grounds is plaoed, has been very diligent
ly at work, and the plaoe gives evidenoe
of the ozre and pains bestowed upon it-
He has tngtged ths servloes of a regular
florist, who devotes hts entire time to the
beautifying of tbe gronnds. The walks
arahfi nioely swept and many of the beds
have been made ready for floral adorn,
snatita. The plaoe Is beginning to wear
the appearance of its earlier days, and is
quite in contrast with ita oondition sev
eral months since, when no attention
Worthy of note waz paid it.
The Parkis one of the most attractive
places of Maoon. It is one of the first
losadities visited by strangers, and with
its natnral beauty, supplemented by its
improvement* of art, it is unsurpassed in
the South. A few years since the ladies
ot the eity bsoame interested in the
place and by their efforts and encourge-
ment, it budded and blossomed with all
the c’loloeat flowers. It is suggested
that they again contribute to the adorn
ment of the place with such shrubs and
flowers as san be spared from their
flown gardens and again make the Cen
tral City Park beautiful with eo untie**
blooms. If one or two ladles could take
charge of a small plot of gronnd and vie
with each other ia keeping it up, ths
plaoe would soon wear the look of one
huge parterre. It they oannot give them
personal attention, any contributions in
the way of shrubbery or plants will be
for by Mr. C. H. Freeman. The
indications are that many pionica will
visit Vaeen thfs season and ths Park
b« made as attractive as possible
against their coming, aside from any
SBSthetio motives.
