Miiltdoetille, June 2G, IS73. the catholic excursion. At an early hour, despite the falling rain drops and ominoiw backs of clonda which shrouded with a vapory pall the whole empy. lean, a multitude thronged the thoroughfares leading lo tbe foot of Mulberry, which waa the point of departure for the MiUedgeville excur sionists. Nine eoaohes freighted with their living burden moved off at the appointed hour, amid soul-stirring strains of music, and the joyous acclamations of hundreds who were glad to exchange the sultry air of the city for the green fields, and that "boundless continnity of shade,” which can only be found In the primeval forests of the country.' A BLIGHT SAKPZX, in the form of an acccident, occurred at the outset by tbe fall from the platform of one of the oira, owing to the sudden overcoming of tho vis inertur at starting, of a lady passenger. Hundreds rushed to the spot to render assist ance, but happily no bones were broken or serious injury sustained, and tranquility was soon reetored. Oa the read all seemed to en joy themselves to tho full, and we were pleased to cate that the cotton fields In sight were generally clean and in good oidsr, despite the rainy season. This speaks well for the in dustry of freedmen. Corn, also, was looking welL Arriving at tho MiUedgeville depot, a motley assemblage of vehicles, mostly drawn by long- eared specimens ef hybrid donkies, yclept tunica, were in waiting for the crowd. These were qniekiy filled, and tbe remainder of the passengers wended their way on foot to the city. There it was announced that the Bishop's ad dress would not be delivered until 3 o'clock r. u , and there was a general stampede to visit the State-House, Penitentiary, Lnnatio Asylum, cemetery, and other lions of Georgia’s ancient capital. Tho writer was among the number who de cided to call upon the poor unfortunates, who, bereft of reason, are kindly and bountifully provided for by the commonwealth. First, how ever, be bad the pleasure of a friendly greeting from CoL MoAdoo, a popular correspondent of tbe Teliguaph and Mxsszngxb, and Mr. Car rington, the present Clerk of the House of Rep resentatives. The latter is the beet eletk and secretary of deUberative bodies to be found in tbe Stats, and is in universal requisition for those clfices. He Is also tbe happy father of iletsn living children, all ihe males of whom are in training to fill their father’s shoes. Thus will a regular dynasty of sonorous and me thodical clerks be founded In Georgia, and no fears need be entertained that the rsoe will give ont. Some member of the General As sembly should present friend Carrington’s claim to a pension on account of his signal services in tbat line. THE BZMOTAL OF THX CAPITAL from Atlanta to its aooient site, the geographi cal centre of the State, will oontinne to be agi tated until the question is finally disposed of at the ballot, box. The ohange waa made cot at the instanoe of the people, but as one of a se nes of wrongs and usurpations inflicted jointly by Federal satraps and a fraudulently chosen carpet bag Legislature. Georgia never will be herself again until she repudiates and spits upon every such act of unauthorized sovereignty and domination. HOW IT CAS Bl DONE. Tbe present Radical Constitution cunningly provid ss that tbe seat of government cannot be again removed save by a ohange in the funda mental law. This can only be tffjoted by a Convention of the people. Thera are several featur m in the ConsUtntion repugnant to justioe and cqnity, which need modification. Let ns have a Convention, therefore, and oarefn'Iy go over the work again, making such changes 03 experience won't! indicate, among them the submission ot the Gapltla question to the past. The potato crop will be immensely large, aa the acreage planted exceed* th*t of any pre vious year; farmers having taken advantage o f tbe rsrav weather to aet ont vines Farmers ere working hard and we hope their labors will be Browned with success. We hsve heard nothing of ihe pestiferous caterpillar lately. We hope some epidemic has got among them and cleaned ont the whole finely. Bad Bots —The Dahlonegs Signal tells us of a difficulty between two youths in the Agricul tural School there, who subsequently met in one of the corridors of the college, when e few hur ried angry words passed between them, and, without farther warning, each drew forth a pis tol and began firing. Tbe two first shots of Mr. U- wore knocked aside, (tbs pistol snapping at tbe first draw.) Hr. B.’a pistol, whioh contain ed but one charge, was discharged before rais ing it. At tbat moment Mr. B., supposing that be bad been bit, exclaimed that he bad no other oharge in bis pistol, and tbat he believed him self to bo allot, whereupon Mr. U. discharged the third barrel in the air, not desiring to bit him again. Upon examination it wus fortunately found that neither bad been harmed, cor had anyone else been touched, altbougn quite a nnmber of young gentlemen were present. President Lewie immediately suspended both young gentlemen from their exereisee aa etu- dents, leaving tho Board of Trustees to take fiaal action in the case. That wen’t do at all, boy«—it fs bad agricul ture and worn shooting. Oao cant tell what has got into Georgia—with so much pistoling. The State la getting altogether too poor to piatolier to any great extent, and yet we sec it is done, cud even tke boys have taken to tke pistol. Is Athens, on the 24th, Major John T.

If tbis stirt of thing continue*, it will be necessary to utilize them by street car service. Kzadt made sermons, neatly lithographed, can be hough: in London at two chitlings a dozen. Tbat tbe oalling of tbis convention is desired by the masses i* beyond qnestioiL Bat here is whe.o the shoo pinches. The members of the General Assembly are chosen for two years. Now, if a convention is called they may change tbe constiintion and order anew election within thirty days. This would leave the present Leg islate re ont in tbe cold, and they don't like it. One very prominent member who favors the removal of the Capital bock to MiUedgeville, frankly said, “I can't vote fir the measure, bowever, because my seat cost ms six bnndred dollars, and so far I have reoe'ved not half of tbat amount.” It is therefore a question of dollars and oents with tbe “ ins,” who don’t like to be *' ont.” Yet wo are assured tbat $1,500 wiU cover the per diom, mileage, clerk hire, and aU other txpenses of a convention daring * fifteen dags session. Oar readers msy cot bo aware tbat the old opera house don't belong to the state. Four hundred and fifty thousand dollars have been paid for it, shaky and hermaphroditio as it is, but a mortgage for $60,003 still bangs over it, which with accruing interest will amount to near $100,000 Now when the ques tion comes up, whioh must be at the next ses sion of tbo Legislature, whether this mortgage should be paid off, then will be a fitting time to press tbe oiaims of MiUedgeviUe. Tee Kim ball concern—half hotel, half theatre—is known to be unsafe, and must eventually be torn down to make room for a more suitable edifice. Why then subject our people to the enonnius ex- pen: e AND IXCnilsrD TAXATION whioh will be needful in the premises, when the State now owns a commodious State-house, executive mansion, eta, situated almost at its geographical centre. We repeat, the capital question never can be settled until the verdict of the people is known at the ballot-box. 331-HOP W. H. OBOSS—HIS LZCTUBE. Tbis angust prelate is a native of Baltimore, aod was a strong sympathizer with the South in her late struggle for independence. He is but thirty-six years of age, and tbe youngest Bishop on the ecclesiastical roll. His commission came direot from Fio Nono a few months since, and be has bat lately entered npon tho duties of bis See as the successor of Bishop Peraieo. In person, he is graceful, intelligent and pleasing, and is possessed of fine oratorical powers and great fluency. Ha was dressed in a robe of nazuese blue with a broad cincture of crimson about his waist, snd wore suspended from the neck a massive golden craoifix Mayor Hetty introduced the Bishop to tbe audience, which had assembled in the old Representative Hall in large numbers, with a <ew stirring and ap propriate words of welcome. His allusions to tho historical associations of the spot and the ancient renown of Georgia, were most beauti ful and apposite. Bishop Gross then said, in substance : Biot out the sun from the heavens end darkness and desolation will enrtain the earth, and where flowers were wout to flourish and bloom, ster ility ensues, and tba nniverse becomes a char nel Loose and almost a bell. So if another sun—ihe sun of r/tcnVy—be stricken from the moral heavens tbe world wonld become still more horrible and chaotic. When the natural sun rises a flood of glory irradiates the skies. Tbe birds sing, bis genial rays give health to the sick, and cheer and inspire with hope and happiness al.ke the rich and poor. In a still higher Eense and greater degree ia this tree also of charily. Let love and charity reign, and the world is transformed into a paradise. The humblest oottsge, with its plainest appur tenances and rude exterior, affords all the con tentment to its inmates that the wealth of tbe Indies could bestow. The mother weeps over her dead sen and refuses to be eomforied, be cause he is lost to her and will be seen no more forever. But charity is the sunlight of exis tence, and fills it with the frnits and flowers of love. Here there is no disappointment, but ineffable joy aid peace are the reward of the believer. by an anecdote of my grand-father. A German (snd they nsmslly make excellent husbands) who settled neiir him, bnt thought to prove his freedom by beating his wife mort unmercifully, oontinued bis brntal treatment, until my grand sire oonld endure it no longer, and threatened him with arrest if Le did not desist. "Vat, said the incensed husband, "you call dis one free OTnnlry and no let me beat mine wife ? go straight back to Germana.” He bad con fused id#as oa tbe subject Artemus Ward said: I am a descead&nt cf tbe noble Puritans who wonld let nobody enjoy religious liberty but themselves. Madame Roland loo olsimed, Oh Liberty, in thy name how many crimes have been oommitted ? Tke Commu nists of France likewise murdered innocent bishops and priests in cold blood, shonting, liberie, egalile, aU the wnile. So, many have equally false ideas of charity. Some will give fifty dollars or more to any given cause, pro vided their donation is pnblisbed in tbe papers, as John Smith of B raton contributed the splen did sum of one dollar to a benevolent object, with the stipulation that his name and address accompany it. In the heart of man there is a natural sympathy for suffering. Even the pagan evinces it. But charity mutt go farther to do good. The maxim, “Clarity begins at home, 1 will not obtain in practio*. With such persons when it becomes neeessary to make sacrifices or spend their money for the affl'eted, their sympathy dries up and their alms too. So tho benevolent person may be very attentive to the sick and forlorn, while no danger attaches to the duty. Bat let a whisper of small pox transpire, and he will decamp at once and leave (hem to their fate. Selfishness therefore de stroys charity. Amid the proud relics of Greece and Rome, and tbe Bplondid ruins which dot their classio soil, not one hospital or charity foundation oan be pointed out. In all this grandeur there was no snch word as charity, but their women and slaves were treated with the mo3t relentless crnelty. Tbis is trae also of China and all Fagan countries. Belfiibness exists wherever Christianity does not exert its benign influences. What is Christianity ? It may be defined to be tbe synonym of charity. Christian faith illustrates the trae principle of ohsrity. Earth’s sensual pleasures and beauteous creations are but ephemeral in their nature. Bat Christian charity imparts happiness and joy forever more. It opens tho fountains if peace and harmony to tbe rich and great, Ihe g lofty aud lowly, to prinee and beggar. Ail have one common father, even our falher in heaven. Even Ltzirns, who is putrid eoras the dogs licked, and who craved the crumbs that fell from tbe rich man's table, tasted of tbe j cys of redeeming love and divine charity. The poor Confederate soldier, too, oovered with wonnds and bruises, and living in an atmosphere of filth and misery, became the recipient of God’s blessed charity, and faith caused a halo of glory to encirole his dying head. The learned prelate illustrated his theme also by several life sketches githerod from his own experience aa a priest, which wero exqiisiteiy touohing and beautiful. Bit the lateness of the hour renders it impossible to reproduce them at this time. Suffice it to say, they served to reveal the fact that in bis ministrations charity had ever been a living, active principle. Our model, he dtc'ared, in deeds of charity and love, wai the Saviour of mankind. He was peerless and infinitely exalted in his mis sion of pease and salvation. He went about all Judea doing good to every one. Even the little children came to him to bo helped, and the poor widow of Nain bad hor potition granted in tbe restoration to life agtin of her only son. The most depraved sinkers snd tho magdalens and outcasts of society, received forgiveness at his bands. His life was one continued scene of charity, iova and forgivanoaa. Tho miscre ant Jades himielf, when about to betray him, was reooived with a kiss and every demonslra- tion of kindness. What a boundless charity was this? Go to Calvary also, and see him banging npon the Cross, gibbeted between ignoble thieves—even stripped of his garments—In sulted ia his dying moments—loaded with in vectives— oalled adecsiver—spit upon—his aide pierced with the crnol spear, and then hear his God-like language: Father, forgive them, for they know not what they do. The Bishop paid a glowing tribute likewiso to tho devoted Siators of Mercy, who nursed the sick, braved cuntsgion and encountered doath without a murmur, in their Savior’s cau30. One of theso had waited upon a poor dying soldier in his extremity, who, when exhorted to repent and mako his peace with God, cx- olaimed, "I don't know what you mean, bat that girl in tho white bonnet there is angel enough for ms, and I will do what she tells me to do.” Ia conclusion, Ihe eloqncnt speaker said, though a Southerner by birtb, bo had come here a perfeot stranger, yet had been received with charity snl the mo3t abounding hospitali ty—nor was ibis confined to the people of hts own Church and faith. All denominations had extended to him a friendly greeting, and espe cially tbe citizens of Macon and MiUedgeville. He wonld take this opportunity to acknowledge their kindness, and should ever cherish tho re membrance of it. The entire address of Bishop Gros3 was marked by the ntmost liberality, and not a word fell from bis lips which conld wound the feelings of the most sensitive of his hearers. 1'hiB is a lesson whioh all religionists should lay to heart. H. H. J. Cbelera Hortallfy In Nashville. The Nashville Union of the 25th gives a table of mortality from cholera in Nashville from Jund 7th to Jane 24th inolnsive, which foots np 190 whites and 326 negroes—total 516. There bad been several deaths before the 7th, of which the Union had no record, and it is estimated that from fifty to seventy-five negroes who died from cholera in the suburbs and were bnried in the cemetery are not included in the Union’s table. The total deaths, therefore, arc at least COO. The greatest nnmber of burials on any one day, occnrrrd on the 20th, on which 72 were interred. The Union says t The highest nnmber of deaths in one day, in 18GG, wa3 70, on the 24th of September; then the returns were made np to six o’clock, and inclnded all the deaths to that hoar. The nnmber who died on the 20th of this month greatly exceeded that—es onr table only shows the nnmber that were bnried np to five o’clock. We have heard the number who died on that day estimated by gentlemen, in whose opinion we place a good deal of csnfidencc, at fully one hundred. The history of the present visita tion of cholera, shows it to be of a more viru lent type than the Astatic cholera, or that about the name of which there was no dispute. The American cholera may therefore be set down a3 more fatal than that of Asiatic origin. As in former visitations, the disease ia now yielding more readily to medical treatment, and tbe abrtement of the past three days inspire hopes of Us early disappearance. Caors fbch Chattanooga to New Yoee.— Uncle Bill, who has jnst made the trip, re ports as follows to the Chattanooga Times: We find through East Tennessee the wheat harvest under full blest, many fields will prove a total failure, while that that will be harvested will not yield five bushels per acre.

J. Meehi writes tbe Edinburg (Sootland) Farmer, that "farmers as well as their laborers, are finding ont there ia a more profitable field for their capital in the United States than in England, and that they can take a position there as land owners with Iebs capital than they can here a3 tenants.” According to Mr. Meohi, says the Nashville Union and American, this migration is chiefly to North Carolina and Vir ginia, and much commendation is bestowed upon the faithfulness and industry of colored laborers, who are said to work harder than English laborers would under similar oircum- stances. Evidently, Mr. Me chi thinks favor ably of settlement bere, judging from tbe tons of his letter, and has received satisfactory re ports from those who have settled here. This is a matter of great importance to the South, for it has a world of uncultivated land open to tillage, husbandry and well considered enter prise. We ne6d the industry, capital and agri cultural skill of the best English farmers. The Cavaliers who had the courage to plant an Eng lish colony among the Bavages of Virginia, and tho pious Catholics who raised the banner of the Cross and religious toleration on the Boil of Maryland when it was all a wilderness, are the type of men that England, Sootland and Ireland now send «s emigrate to America. They are the right material ont of which to form the most prosy rons States. In population, wealth and liooD ■ , Lor.dou bUuds at the head of all cities. In manufactures and their exporta tion, England is far in advance of all other na tion*. In soient 2c agriculture and home-bred blooded farm slook. Great Britain is so superior as to make tke tuo«t intelligent farmers of all countries pay ber a large and willing tribute. The manure from cattle and horse Btabies that fertilizes Mr. Mechi's farm is sent, dissolved in water, in iron pipes, laid under ground, by steam, to every field and tqaare yard of land. Steam waters and manures the soil, plows, har rows, and sows the seed, gathers the harvest and threshes ont the gram, and oarries back all the residuum, whether from man or beast, baok to tbe depleted ground from which the orop was taken. This is plain scientific forming, re markable from tbe fact that it supplies no plaoe, nor a point even, on wbloh can subsist a germ of cholera, cholera morbns, or chills and fever. As these pestilent germs do not and osnnot grow everywhere, we want seientifiz European farmers and tradesmen to show us how to statve them to death, and preserve in health all of woman born. The Monster Projected TunneL Fiom the Black Hawk Journal, June 131 The tunnel will be about twelve miles long. Its greatest depth will be 6,000 feet, at James Peak. It will mske Middle Park readily acces sible from the eastern portion of the Territory; will show what is the mineral and goological character of tbis section, and will tolerably ex tensively advertise the oonntry as tbo seene of an enterprise twice as large and a hundred times as important ss the Mount Cenis tunnel Gol. Heaton will use tbe diamond-pointed drills, and thus not be obliged to keep in operation nu merous blaoksmith shops. They will be driven by machinery. And it is expeoted that the tunnel will progress at the rate of five feet per hoar, or sixty feet per day. Early next year work will commence from Middle Fatk. Already considerable woik has been done. The mountain has been graded down for tbe faoe of the tunnel; a flume 1,300 feet long has been bnilt from the creek by which a fall of 25 feet is obtained for tbe purpose of turuiDg an over-shot whee 1 , by means of which the tnnnel is to be supplied with air; a strong levee has been bnilt to prevent the waters -of the creek from overflowing and embarrassing operations in the tunnel; a large boarding-honse, 60x25 feet, and two stories high, has been built; a substantial bridge has also been bnilt over the oreek on tho road leading to the Lake Gulch country. The objoots of the tunnel are to afford the mean* of working the discovered mines rapidly and cheaply, to discover Rnd open new veins, aud to afford a track for a railway. It will strike (be Bsbtail first of known mines, and 400 feet below the present tnnnel. The effects of the success of this enterprise can hardly be estimated.

Mr. Wil liam S. Calhoun is described as the scion of one of the proudest and wealthiest families in the State. His father onoe owned a plantation worth over half a million of dollars, and a thousand negroes. The vast area of land stretching around Colfax, and known for years as tho Calhoun plantations, attested the weBlth and position of the family. Calhoun was born gentleman, associated with gentlemen, and was considered a gentleman. But be baa always been a hunch-back from youth up, and this, to gether with no very genial qualities of mind, soared his disposition, and made him morose and given to meanness and melancholy. He recently made the acquaintance of a handsome mulatto girl, aud determined to marry her, despite tho protestations of his friends. The dnsky maiden was not so smitten, how ever, and it was not nntii he had paid the girl’s mother five thousand dollars that the marriage contract was made. About the time of the marriage Calhoun’s sister returned from Europe and endeavored to dissuade her brother from Ui3 rash step, bnt it was found impposible, and tbe marriage was consummated. But Calhoun was not prosperons. The negroes did abjeet homage to him, and his plantation of twelve thousand acres was as rieh as any in the State, but debt incumbered him, and mortgages osmp- ed about him, and now it is said to be every foot under mortgage for more than It will bring. Among other tronbles came a rival, a contest ant for his bride’s affections, and recently be aucceedod in Bleating her away from ber white husband, after learning which Calhoun commit ted suicide by drowning himself. Tbe Art or Beer Bibbing. Yiennt Letter to Baltimore American ) The Germans in the United States, and.those Americans who affect a fondness for lager beer, don’t drink it as it is drank in Germany. They rush into a restaurant and gulp down two or three glasses and move on. Here a German never thinks of finishing his glass of beer in less than ten minntes, or to drink it without eating something at the same time, even if it is only a crust of brown bread. In fact, a Ger man in the Fatherland is constitutionally op posed to doing anything in a hurry, and espe cially to drinking beer with “rapid speed.” The consequencs is that we do not see men with great, bags paunches, as at home, capable of swallowing a keg of beer after sapper. They seldom treat one another, bnt sit down to the tables, and although they drink together, each man pays for what he consumes, whether it be beer or food. This of itself Is a great preven tive of excess, as, if a half a dozen or a dozen were to Bit down to drink, as with ns, each must treat in tnrn, and thus six or a dozen passes be guzzled, whether they want it or not. *■ our temperance friends eonld institute what called a “Dutch treat” into onr saloons, each man paying his own reckoning, it wonld be a long step toward reform in drinking to exoess. In short, beer in Germany is a part of eaoh man’s food. He takes it as a sustenance, and cot as a stimulant A Young 'Wire’s Choice.—Angnsins Simon, Gentile, 22 years ot age, zzurried Bertha Do- bezioEki, a beautiful Jewess of 17 summers. After the ceremony she went home and told her father, snd he shut her np, refusing to let her husband see ber nntii he had embraoed the Jewish faith. Tbe husband had ber taken be fore Jndge Ingraham on a writ of habeas cor pus on Saturday. Mr. Dubezinaki asked that bis daughter might be allowed to stay with him nntii Monday, so that he might employ a law yer to present his defenoe. His daughter, he said, desired to live with him, and wonld say so. Ha called npon ber to inform tho Conrt of her wishes. Bertha stood up and burst into tears. Jndge Ingraham—Bertha, what do yon want to do? Bertha weepingly replied: “I want to go with my husband.” Her father angrily replied: "All right; go with him, then.” Bertha sank in ber chair, weeping. Her kns- batd supported her from the oonrt-room, Mr. Dobezintki calling after them that the dress she wore had better be returned to him.—Ifeuj York Sun. Grant’s bad example is having a very injuri ous effect on the pnblicserrioe. Tbe Washing ton correspondent of tbe Sf. Louis Republican writes, June 21: “While the Freeident and maBy of the members of the Cabinet are ab sent from their duties, it might be expected the beads of bureaus and clerks are disposed to embrace tbe opportunity to do as little work as possible. To snch an extent bis tbe example ef the glorious chief been copied by the subordi nates that the Secretary of War haa found it necessary to issue an order notifying the clerks in the various bureaus of the War Department that hereafter any clerk not promptly at his desk at 9 a. m., will be considered as having tendered Us resignation. A Ohsstly Ptetsre. A leading business man of Nashville writes a letter to a oomspoodent in Knoxville last Mon day afternoon, from whioh tbe Frees and Her ald makes the subjoined extract i “Tbe condition at things has bean awfnl here. Last Friday I reported 81 deaths. This was obtained from the undertaken; but I am folly satisfied that there wen at least twenty-live to thirty more, who wars boxed up by carpenters In different parts of tho eity end bnried. I know of cases where whole famUiss of negroes have died. One eras where the man and his wife were lying deed oa the bed and three chil dren dead on tho floor. A Mr. Jenkins, of Edgefield, bad two ahildrea to die yesterday. They were both at Bondar school in the morn ing and were In their ocfflns at three o’clock. The disease seems, however, as a general thing, to be confined to the negroes and the poorer dasses of white people. Inotioed that on Ban- day. ont ot 56, there were 28 buried by the oonnty. In almost every instanoe, where proper medical attention oan bo had promptly, the oase will yield to treatment. Many hare doubtless died from fright and likewise from overdoses of preventativee." GOOD ADVICE. “Whits speaking of preventative*. I will give yon what I consider the best prescription that oan be followed: Have a bandage, about half a yard wide, made of good soft flannel, keep it tied sronrd the bowels, and every morning rub the abdomen well with spirits of camphor. I use this constantly and require all my people to do so. Do this, and live prudently, eating no frnits or vegetables, and keep from getting soared, and you will be well fortified against oholera." The “Escaped Nua.”—Some weeks ago the notorions Edith G’Gorman, who advertises her self as “ the escaped nun,” was annonnoed to speak at a pnbiio hall in Toronto on oonventnal life, and a few of the Froteatant clergymen (who no donbt regretted it sinoerely enough afterward) were indueed to further her money making objeot by giving notioes from their pul pits of the forthcoming lecture. The reenlt, as stated in the Globe newspapor of that city, was that “Mias O’Gorman appeared on the platform nnder sbamefnl etzeumstenoes, and her leoture, whioh both iu manner and matter was, so far as lt went, objectionable in the highest degree, oollapsed after twenty minntes’ heroio oontest with anpsrindneed mental asphyxia." Ws presume this is a delioate way of Baying aha was under the In linen oe of liqnor. Sehatob BHERMAN has written a letter to the Oinoinnati Gazette, explaining the disposition he has made of his baok pay. Ho says that be long ago informed the disbursing offloer of the Senate that he wonld never draw tbe money, but that he did not and does not think it neoes- sary to receive the money and pay it back. “It was not my purpose,” he says, “ to make any pnbiio statement of my notion in this matter, and I do so now not from any desire to olaim any ment for what I have dons, nor even by implication to oensure inch of my associates who, though voting against the salary bill, yet received tbs pay allowed by lt; bnt simply to assure those who take an interest in the matter that I have not and will not receive any portion of the $4336 40 allowed me by the salary bill for baok pay.’’ Did yon ever notice tbat the initials of the Sons of Temperance spell “ Sot,” and those of the Independent Order of Good Templars would stand “ I onoe got tight 7" J.
