To a man whose heart has not been
rendered callous by the pursuit of gain,
or the bachelor, that sapless incarnation
of self, the scenes presented at the late
festival could not fail to set in motion
every generous, tender impulse of his
nature.
Who oan mist the sweet oosfldenoe,
the sparkling ejen, joyous eountenanoes
and boundless spirits of the dear innooento,
whose every movement is watched with
the keenest delight by doling parents sad
kindred? These little mortals twine
themselves about the heart, encasing it
with e soft yet Irresistible armor, whioh is
proof against all the sordid inflaenoes of
earth, and makes ns human indeed.
God help the man who has no love for
the cooing babe, or does not feel like an
gel’s wings were eneompesaing him, when
the plnmp, oool, sweat arms of a prattling
child are clasped about his neck. Why it
to enough to dissolve a heart of adamant,
to still the fieroeat passions of the sou!; to
banish business embarrassments,to soothe
corroding sorrows—in short, to make us
in reality oetnga created in God’s own
imsge. Tee, even like little children

sympathetic impulses.

footsteps of the missing cherube.how tbey
sonnd Jand reverberate along the abler
of the soul and call forth the unbidden
and scalding tears end a thousand har
rowing reminiscences. Heaven grant the
reader may have no such sad experience.
Bat personal memories, like the 8<-d
■trains of the -ZEriian harp, and the soft
muttennge of sea shells, have transported
the writer far baok through the lapse of

joyons, happy, May day.
Never was the air more balmy, never
did snn and oloud coquet more gracefully
with each other. It wa* not until the
day’s sports were abont over that the
letter achieved the victory and massed
its opaque shadows o’er the scene. Then
there wee a general stampede of tho lit
tle ones and their parents, bat all, we
believe, were able to reach home in
safety before the pattering rain drops be*
gan to descend.
The exercises were nniqne and deeply
interesting, preserving throughout their
Sabbath School features by tbe recita
tion of scripture texts and morel precepts
beautifully presented by the children
themselveB. Mr. G. B. Deltre, of tbe
Presbyterian Church, deserves great
credit for introducing this pleasant
change in tho ngual Mav day rtrnjrrummn.
xne tables of the several schools were
crowd-d with good things, and for once
the little ones bad precedence over tbeir
seniors and roamed at will like hnmming
birds o’er a bed of flowers sipping sweets
where’er they chose.
The deponent woe the gneBtof the
FirstBaptist Church, whioh counts nearly
400 pupils in its school. When the bngle
eoonded for dinner Mr. Zsttler announc
ed in s;ntorian tones that the big people
must remain outaide until the children
wer* served. It wa* tbeir "funeral” and
ail other* must take back seats.
Then,in rushed the mnltitnde of cheer
ing scholar* who pounoed incontinently
upon the good things, each finding al
ready prepared to hand a plate piled np
with meet, bread, cake and other delica-
ska. It !■ needleaa to add the little fel
lows showed themselves to be splendid
trenchermen, and retired in due time
comfortably provided for within, and with
pockets without distended to their utmost
capacity. There was food enongh to
spare in that single room to feed a thou
sand months. And wa did hear that
twelve baskets full of the remnants
ould be gathered for the absent poor.
The other Sabbath schools were alto
provided with a superfluity of nice thing*,
as we saw by making the’'grand rounds,"
and it may be truthfully affirmed that
not only was May day made delightful
by its pleasing exercises at the “stand,”
but everyone, from the least to the
greatest, enjoyed a feast, and went home
contented and happy. What if these
entertainment a do oott something? Who
can estimate the good they accomplish in
bringing together in eooial communion
once a year the entire yontb of the com
munity, and inspiring a general interest
in each other which must be productive
of inestimable benefit.

chromes which it is now printing and

the Southwest are found in almost every

and are exciting the warmest admiration.
A new one jaat out and entitled ’‘The
Freedman's Home" is tbni described by
one of these :
“In the foreground, illuminated by a
marvelous sunset, stood the freedmin'a
home. It was a pictnreaqno cottage, with
gables, dormer windows and wide veran-
Frenoh windows reached down to
the floor, and through the open ease
ments appeared a seductive soene in the
family sitting room. The colored father,
who hod just returned from his harvest
field, eat in an easy chair reading a news
paper, while tbe children and babies xol-
icked on tbe floor of tbe pitzzt. Through
the open door of tbe kitohen the eolered
wife could be seen directing the servants
and oooka who were preparing tbe even

the most enohanting feature, for et a
grand piano was poised the belle of tbe
household, and beside the piano where
she was playing stood her colored lover,
devouring her with his eyes while be ab
stractedly turned the leaves of her music.
Just to one side of tbe dwelling appears J
a commodious barn and carriage-house
and workmen busily engaged in putting in
order their reapers end mowers for the
following day. In one of these piotares

The Cotton Situation.
Cotton took another rise of an eighth
in Liverpool yesterday, and wasqnoted at
noonat 6| for middling uplands, with sale,
of 17,100 bales since late the day before
According to the Cotton Exohange report
of Friday night the reoeipts of the
seven days, ending with that date, were
21.087 bales, against 28.564 tbe corres
ponding week of last year—showing a
felling off of 7.627 bale* dating the weak,
whioh is heavy for the season.
Tbe strength of the statistical position
to foioing a vary relaotant advance in
yarns and fabries, which, of oourse, lags
a little behind the improvement in the
raw material The sdvanoe in middling
uplands in tbe Liverpool market daring
the week ending Friday night, has been
just three-eighth* of a penny.
On the whole the cotton ontlook is
more propitious than it haa been for
some time. Should political order and
quiet continue in Earope a fair ohanoe
for a remunerative business seems to
open to the cotton grower. Continaed
decrease in receipts might indeed give
rise to a speculative flurry, which is not
desirable.
Bat the quiet of the European conti
nent daring the coming summer we re
gsrd os problematical. There to a great
deal of swell visible on the surface of af
fairs and it ia certain that an unwonted
oommotion is going on below it. There
to going to be a severe strain on auto
cratical timber and personal gov
ernment before long. The quiet
progress of France towards B.-pub
lican modes and maxims—the real
ability displayed by her liberal states
men in organising a government for the
people, instead cf for a throne or a dy
nasty, to working a moral effect in Eu
rope which to a good deal overlooked in
America. Autocracy in Europe to" ap
proaching its end, if the citizenship of
France can manage their own affairs
with prudence, integrity and success.
And . hen the struggle between thg two
ayat us becomes intense throughout
Europe the interests of trade will suffer
for a time. The antagonizing influences
confronting each other in Btiseia bode a
straggle there of mere rampant murder.
A Tile tip on tliii Dance Question
As thetime draws nigh, during the
present month, for tbe meeting of the
Southern General Assembly of the Pres
byterian church, before which the oom-
plaint of Dr. Leftwich on the action of
the Georgia Synod upon the Block case
will be passed upon, the slumbering in
terest in that celebrated trial has been re
kindled, and all eyes are tamed upon tbe
ably, anriouz to know how it will
decide m the premise*.
Probably there never waa any question
leu understood by the community at
large. The discussion does not torn up
on the abstract principle, whether the
amusement of dancing is right perse, and
should, or should not be tolerated by the
ohurcb, bnt whether the act nnder exist
ing ecclesiastical canons to disciplinable.
The supporters of Mr. JBlook, alike In
tbe Atlanta Presbytery and the Bynod of
Georgia, would be scandalized if oharged
with advocating dancing, round or squire,
as a suitable pastime for they on th of the
ohurch.. That to not at all the question
at issue. Tbey have joined time afid
ugatn in the deliveronsas mads by the
several Presbyterian judicatories oh the.
subject of tba dauoe, deprecating it aa an
amusement essentially worldly in Ita
chareoter, and as such to be atohewed.
Bai,ia the sbieuoo of Biblical authority,
orsmy pronounced rule of the .ohurcb, it
is held that the only proper method of
rseobiag the evil ia by precept and exam
ple, sad the ministrations of the' pulpit-
TkIsa’qaestion of oanaoiMOs, whiob,. as
in a mnltitnde of other icaUnou, each
individual ia called npon to decide-for
himself.
Thera are many oonitotent chuioh mem
ber* who can peroeive no harm in the
■quara dance when indulged ia atprivate
dwellings, and by hear relatives and
friends. Nor do they object to the
‘round” when the participants are
brothers and sisters or persons of the
■erne Mh’ Are these good people' all to
be tabooed and tamed out of the syna
gogue for this crying offonstf <
Hot of demarcation to be drawn-between,
what are lawful and unlawful worldly
pleaturet? Some think the usa of tobao-
co should be interdicted to the Christian
as an injurious and filthy habit Others
that gossips and scandal monger* ought
to be eammarily dealt with. Not a few
think that nov^l reading, theatre-going,
t'qf«tffcahe, .jrafllng, evaa^ at reli-
mNUe&Mttth* most ^steporate
usa of vinous liquors, cucht to_be _made
matters of church discipline. ..And so the
list might be almost indefinitely extend
ed. Bnt if the church were to attempt
eueh a Qaixotic drjuado il would aeon be
like a head without limbB or members.
The whole subject—has been very
strongly presented on both side* in the
April number of the Southern Presbyterian
Rexnew, by Prof.-B. L. Dabney, of the
Union Theological Seminary, Virginia,
who to the champion of the Leftwitch
position, and Bar. John B. Adger, D. D.,
of Pendleton, S. C., sustaining the ac
tion oE Synod on the asms question.
Dr. Dabney seems to have explored all
the sacred lore of tho chnrcb, even ante
dating the reformetiot/, and going far
back into the days of anoient Borne and
Greece. Hto industry and research have
been amazing, and nothing that coaid
bear remotely upon the matter under
consideration aroma to have escaped his
vigilant eye. All hto learning and acute-
new, however, waa able to produoe noth
ing more definite and satisfactory than
the following;
’Seeing that the practice of our Sea-
sfons to atiU timid, we are persuaded that
it wauld be well for the next assembly to
speak ont still more explicitly, and order
categorically the ditcipUne of all church
members who are found contumacious
in round dancing aa practiced between
men and women, or who dance in pnblio
and promiscuous balls, attar say fashion
of the mixture of the sexes.
"The latter prohibition should rest on
the facts - that, as the world now goes,
ronnd dances do prevail at all pnblio
balls; and also, that the free access to
them of persons disreputable, profane,
intemperate, or utterly frivolous, renders
them riii/iri places for Christians; unless,
like their Savior, they go thither to carry
the warnings of the gospel. * * *
As to the milder forms of domeBtio and
social dancing, wa would have the pres
byters of the church rely, for the present
at least on dissuasions and instructions.”
It would appear from the above that,
after all his pains and labor to oonvinoe
others, the Doetor had failed to beoome
a perfect convert to his owa views. Upon
hie last utterance there is no diversity of
opinion, so far as we ere informed.
Why not extend those "discussions and
Instructions” to every description of the
dsnoe ? Experience has rendered no faat
more patent than that persecution and
severs measures always tend to increase,
in lieu of diminishing, any given evil or
breaeh of morals. Let the gospel, and
the example and admonitions of holy men
aohieve, the desired reform. To nine-
tenths of the number of true believers
these means will prove all anfficient.
But Professor Dabney baa not been al
lowed by any means to walk over theoon-
troveraial course. Dr. Adget’a rejoin
der Is a oompaot, clear and edmirabte
pieoe of reasoning, which completely an
nihilales the ingenious, historical web of
hto antagonist, woven, after so mnoh dili
gence and research.
After answering and refuting his sev
eral propositions senalim and in the most
conclusive manner, Dr. Adger towards
the conelasion sty a t
“Yon oan not trust the sessions beoanse
too timid ? Far better trust them to act
os may be right and wise in eaoh separate
oaee than to impose on them the sweep
ing order proposed, whioh tbey would
not, could not, onght not to carry out,
because it trandsoenda the Word.
"Let tba Louiaville Assembly deliver
itself zealously but soripturally on this
subject, and then let our pastors preach
and teach the people. We want no
preaohing of a erneade against dancing.
Vastly should we confide tn the preaohing
of Chriit and the powers of the world (o
oome, in the set ing forth of our duty to
the Head of the tihnrob.
“The remedy of Augustin and cf Cal.
via is the oae we wish to see tried—not
rough, harsh, imperious measure.; more
teaching than commanding, more ad
monishing than threatening. Bat if
there must be special action taken
against special evils, let U3 at least keep
oar action within constitutional grounds.
We may not discipline, but we may
teaoh * * * The remedy is teach
ing, exhibiting, pursuading, by the
cnnrch courts as they are clearly em
powered to make dvlirerances of true
doctrine, end by the, mintotere who spe
cially ere celled to teecb. This is tbe
remedy for the evil, and this remedy
faithfully and prudently employed will
be found auflicienfj if not, there ia no
remedy.”
The whole question, we donbt not, will
be argued in ecfsiuo before the Louisville
General Assembly, which meets in a few
daja, and we shall be greatly mistaken
and disappointed, if that august body
does not endorse, by a decided majority,
the action of our late Synod. Bev. Mr.
Nall, D. D., and Hon. Clifford Anderson
are the eounsel specially designated by
Synod to represent their cause before
the Assembly. They are both prudent,
abla men.
We traat our Honorable Board of Com

tbe time of tbq ahata-gang for (he deaited
period.

vapora to asoend from the ends of the
earth; he maketh lightning* for the rain;
he bringeth the wind out of his treas
uries.” Jeremiah xL 16: (Same as
Psalm cxxxv. 7.) Barelation vil. 1:
"And after these things I saw fonr angels
standing on the fonr oornersof the earth,
holding the four winds of the earth, that
the wind shonld not blow on the earth,
nor on the aee, nor on any tree.”
Ia answer to this hypocritical and ab
surd statement, Ber. Dr. Henry M.
Smith, the able editor of the Southwestern
Pre&ylerian, published in New Orleans,
says:
We think that the . attempt to show
from such passaged that the Sonpturee
teach that the world is not round, will ba
more likelj to produoe the conviotion
that the author of snch an argument has
not read the passages he refers to. If
hto text had the small-pox, hto sermon
wonld be in little danger of catching it.
We should be sorry to think that this
attempt ia a fair test of our antbor’s
critical acumen, otherwise we should be
compelled to put a very low estimate on
what he elsewhere offers as scientific con
clusions. Nevertheless, it is worth no
ticing as a very good specimen of the
lack of foroe and fairness of the kind of
reasoning usually relied on, to disoredit
Scripture.
It wonld seem from the foregoing, that
M. Chaellstobut an humble imitator of
Voltaire, Paine, Hume and those of their
ilk who, mere potsherde of earth, sim
ply belittle themselves in their futile at
tempts to measure swords with the Great-
Jehovah, and call in question Hie inspired
word. The pnerile effort establishes one
fact at least, and that is, that this savan,
so called, is not a safe educator of the
yonth of the country.

Editors Telegraph and Messenger:
The Georgia Teaoher*’ Association
meeting has proved a decided anooess
this year. Abont oae hundred teaohers
are in attendanoe. The papers have bron
unusually good, end the B cm ana have
baen rxoeediogly kind and hospitable.
Professor 8. P. Sanford, of Macon, is
President; Professor Wm. B. Bonnell,
formerly of yonr eity bnt now of tbe
Atlanta pnblio schools, is Seoretary,
Messrs. Ivy W. Doggen and W. H-

the State. South Georgia to not represen
ted at all.
A'ter the Introductory address by Al
derman Halstead Smith, and reply by
Dr. Hillyer, end an able inaugural by
the President, the excellent paper of Pro
fessor Duggan, of Sandereviile, was read,
on tne subject: ‘‘The teacher—his du
ties, responsibilities and rewards.’’ The
paper was full of sound sense, mingled
with humorous oriticisms aad spicy allu
sions, which greatly pleased all.
After dinner the President announced
that tho next essayist on the programme,
Mr?. M. W. Villipigae, of Macon, was
prevented from attending the convention,
but that her paper would be read by
Mr. Barfield, of North Macon Grammar
School. The subject waa, “The art of
compoBiti'it,” Tho paper was com
mended by Professor A. B. Niles, who
gave bis plan of teaching composition.
Dr. Hillyer, Superintendent Baker, of
Savannah, Rev Mr. Nnanally, Professor
Mallory, Professor Ljnes and otheis
spoke in high terms of the paper and gave
their own methods of instruction.
Professor J. H. Fitten, of Adairsville,
read an admirable paper on the subjeot,
"Why so few of our young men go
through college.” He proved that only
one in a thousand of Georgia yonng men
graduated—a painful fact.
At night Hon. G. J. Orr, L.L.D., read a
splendid production on “The needs of the
Sonth in education.” It was the noble
Professor’s masterpiece, and was well re
ceived by bis thoughtful listeners.
Wednesday, Dr. Means delivered one
of his lengthy and characteristic ad
dresses. He is probably the oldest teach
er of promisenoe in Georgia.
Bev. Dr. Haygood, President of the
Emory College, followed with an essay on
"The education of Lanre Dewey Bridg
man,” the blind and deaf mute. It wee
exceedingly interesting, end encouraged

A very finely written paper on "Geog
raphy” waa charmingly read by the ac
complished and beautiful Mias Fannie
M. Scbnatx, of Atlanta public schools.
The gentle, modest, yet clear and distinct
ntterance of tbe yonng lady won the ap
plause of the convention, and the matter
of tbe oompositioa was highly praUed.
It woe much complimented. Bar. Dr.
8 G. Hillyer. followed with a very able
and well received eddrese on " English
Liters lure.” He to one of our highly re
spected veteran Georgia speakers and
teachers, and bis paper should be pub
lished to the world.
Your beautiful city, upon motion of
Superintendent Baker, of Savannah, wae
unanimously chosen as the next place of
meeting. Macon to the favorite place
for toe permanent location of the ses
sions of the convention. Ita central po
sition, convenience of aeceBs, numerous
colleges and schools, splendid park, beau-
tiful oemetery, handsome mansions and
pnblio bolldinga, and ita hospitable citi
zens, make it a most desirable place to
visit. Prepare for our coming. This
evening an excursion down the Coosa

For sal* by Sound B Hall Sru$£n
was the principal episode, and to it great
attention wae paid. Sams, a week ago,
married a niece of Alston’s widow. The
State sought to show that Alston and his
wife had opposed the marriage, and that
Seme waa moved by enmity to testify as
be did. Tbe etedogzapbec#nd member* of
the coroner’s jury testified that Sams’
statement there was read over to him
and approval. On the trial, however, he
repudiated neatly all the material state
ments andteatifled that he had never so
roworn.
Treasurer Renfro and Mr. Milton wete
recalled and swore positively to their po
sitions and tba acts of Cox and Alston,
aa heretofore, allot whioh bad been con
tradicted by Bam*. The defame intro
duced nearly all the officials and many of
the citizens of DeKslb county, who testi
fied to Sam’s good ehsraoter, and that
they would believe him on oath. They
also teetified that Ooxwas the mo it ar
dent friend Alston had in hto oanvaae for
election laet year to the General Assem
bly whan Alston was encoeufol.
Charles Howard teatified to negotia
tion* for tbe purchase of the Gordon
le**e; that the sale to him was regular,
and no wrong was done to Cox or Wal
ters ; also to his efforts to keep Alston
from meeting Cox and Alston’s acquies
cence; also to Hnrphy and himself be
ing in a dark ebset, that it was a consul
tation room, and he took Murphy in
there attempting to borrow four thou
sand dollars to pay for the lease interest;
heard shooting and came ont.
Murphy testified to letting Alston have
hto pistol—it was an English sslf-cocking
Tranter make. Alston agreed not to meat
Ccx at the barber shop. He confirmed
the teetimopy of Howard as to their be
ing in a dark room, end what they were
in there for, accounted for the disappear
ance of the pistol which Alston used by
saying he picked it up and kept it by the
advice of a lawyer now of the defendant’s
oonnsel. He produced the pistol in
Canrt.
Tobe Williams, colored, testified as to
Cox and Alston having had a quarrel in
the barber shop previous to the killing.
Contracts existing between Cox and Gor
don were introduced in evidence. Sena
tor Gordon was not put upon the witness
stand.
Cox made a full’ k&d lengthy state
ment to tbe court and jury. He sat
down in a chair and spoke fluently and
deliberately, giving his early history,
education, record in the wer ee a soldier,
and subsequent life a* a farmer. After
the war some years, he settled in De-
Kalb csnnty, near to Alston, bought his
term there on Alston’s aocount, and from
that time they were bosom friends. In
X876 Senator Gordon was embarrassed
and interested defendant in convict
lease, he to have half of the
profits. Alston drew the contracts. He
took in Alston as a silent partner, he to
give Alston half ont of all he made ont
of any bnsiness. and Alston to divide
with him all he (Alston) made ent of his
office as Assistant Keeper of the Peniten
tiary, by hto liw praotiee or otherwise.
The first year hto profits on the hire of
oonvicts was fire hundred dollars, and he
gave Alston half. Alston got em
barrassed, and defendant gave him
money to go to Washing City to colleof a
claim, whioh he got, and got a $15,000
fee. Alston refused a division, and said
ha wanted no more to do with the oonvict
business. They remained friend*, how
ever. When the Gordon interest was
placed in Alston’s hands, defendant wan
ted to sell also. Watters wanted to buy,
Defendant asked $8,000 for bu interest,
as Alston told him he would hold him for
forty four bales of cotton for the year’s
entat; Walters refused to bay at that
prior; as an inducement to defendant to
sell to Welters for $1,600, Alston
agreed to release defendant from
the payment of the cotton; at the
barber shop Alston told defendant
"Yon have made a good thing out of
this,” and $200 (tbs fee for making the
sale) was not enough for him. He said
he had saved Cox’a cotton, and Cox
ought to give him half, or 22 bales.
Defendant replied that all his property
was under mortgage, and this wonld
take the bread from hto wife and chil
dren. Alston threatened to atop the
trade. Cox threatened ta expose the
convict business, and all parties to it;
also, Alston’e actions about it in the Leg-
islatare. Alston said he would kill de
fendant if he did, and railed him a liar.
Defendant threatened to knock him down.
Alston told defsndant to arm himself and
meet him at some place and fight it out;
he did arm himself and return at the time
fixed; sent word to Alston, and reoeived
Alston’s message; went then to the Capi
tol to make Alston agree to settle np their
business relations finally, and sot for
tho purpose of fighting Alston.
The latter met him and
they had the talk testified to, except
that Alston proposed to fight defendant
—said he would board the next train with
him. Alston said, "Do yon want to shoot
it out ?” He replied that any way suited
him. Alatoe said, “Do you want to shoot
now,” and rose. Defendant was at the
door with a view of leaving, when Alston
drew hto pistol, and he drew hi*. Alston
fired twice and strnek him in the mouth,
whioh shot knocked him to the floor.
Alston shot him in the hand and he was
dazed by the shock; hla head bussed,
and he could not hear tho shots. As
soon as corli do so he rose and fired at
the largest bulk of Alston lie conld
through the smoke and saw Alston sink
down. He then eat down. He only
shot Alston in self-defense. He was his
best friend, and he did not want to kill
him.
The case was adjourned until Monday,
when argument will begin. Three of
the strongest counsel will argne each
side. Interest in the trial has grown to
be universal. The pnblio sentiment is
nearly wholly against Cox. Neither tbe
latter nor his counsel are aangnine.

eland war against Perq. On ihe reoeipt
of the news from Chill, M. Godoy, the
Chilian minister in Lima, demanded his
passport from the Peruvian government,
declaring hta minion terminated, and,
in apite of the assurances of the author
ities that his person would be held in
violate, decided to repair on board the
United States steamer Lackawanna,
where he still ooniinnea. The President,
on the Sd, issued a decree declaring the
republic in a state of war with Chili. The
great majority of the Chilians resident in
Lime end Gallas took passage by tbe first
steamer for Valparaiso.
Private individuals, from the wealthiest
capitalists to the humblest artisans, hast
ened to offer tbeir services and money to
the Government. Beneficiary societies,
religious corporations, philanthropic as
sociations, university schools, foreign
residents, even Chinese domiciled in Lima
and port placed their lands at the dispos
al of the Government. The foreigners
have formed themselves into companies
of home goarde, and their services were
gladly accepted. Military movements
are being actively continaed.
Gen. Do**, President of Bolivia, was
telegraphed to aa soon as the news reeched
Lima of the Chilian action, and is now
enronta to the coast via Corocoa and
Taona, with five thousand wall equipped
troops. Bolivia, it will be remembered,
consented to await tbe result of tbe Pe
ruvian attempts at mediation, and
until that proved unsuccessful could, of
course, taka no active measures. Chili,
wa understand, haa about nine thousand
men nnder arms in the occupied territory.
The number of national troops wss
considerably inferior to that of the
atate’e, bnt the latter bad (he advan
tage of position. Not over 150 were en
gaged on that side. The state troops
numbered about 800. At 8:30 a. m. a j
white flag waa displayed from the Cua/tel

surrendered nnoonditionally to the state
forces. They were marohed ont, leaving
behind them all their arms and monitions

Yesterday tbe details of some outrage
ous conduct were given to us by a re
lumed Florida traveler whioh cccnrred
Florida steamer, and in whiob, we
regret lo learn, aotiizen ef Maoun took &
prominent port. It seems that a party of
Northern visitors were returning from
southern Florida when a party of yonng
men from along the Macon and Bruns
wick road boarded the boat. One of the
party wore his hair long, and in the
coarse of conversation, a lad belonging
to the party of Northerners made a casual
remark en the appearance of tbo long
haired Georgian, which was overheard
by the Maconite. He soon after de
manded an apology, which was promptly
given. Not oontent, the lad was chased
aronnd the steamer, and made to suffer
indignities of a very humiliating charac
ter, his persecutors following him into
the ladies’ cabin, and by their nngentie-
manly and rnffianly behavior, alarming
them greatly. They even laid hands ou
the young man, collating him several
times, and braising bis head against the
side of the boat, and doing many other
acts of equal indignity.
Both parties took the same train af .er
leaving the boat and the same treatment
waa repeated, l'he Northern tourists
were very justly highly incensed. We re
gret with all good people of this section
the occurrence, and must say teat such
conduct meets unmeasured condemna
tion here. We hope the Northern visi
tors will not judge the South by this
sporedio case of rudenesB.
