Paying Postage. \
The argument* in favor of the reatoratlon of
tb* *o-e*Ped frtnkirg privilege and free ex
change* to newapapera multiply; bat we eee no
eeeetaaive fore* in them. Donbtlen, It ie in-
eooventeot ui pay for anything. particularly
when moaay i* eearo*; bnt *a everything most
he pail for by eotnebody, there can be no more
equitable rnle than that he who gets the oonaid
cation aboold make the payment. There ia
nothing gained bat warte in ahiiftng the poet
eg* on newipaper exchanges and franked pack
egee opoo th* oonlingent and general approprl-
ation food*, and oolleotlng tt out of the people
In the ahap* of taxes. It la legitimate and
proper that the Pott Office Department shook!
meat it* own expenaoa; and then, if it ia foand
that the abolition of free packages baa prodnoed
a sarpln* of revenne, rednoe tbe pottage charge
on all. In this way no In]attic* it done.
Tb*r* ia a load groaa in tbe New York Times
about vbat ia to bo done with all tbe pnbllo
doejmeot*, the printing of wbiob is n source of
so mcch expenre and so little light to tbe conn
try. There are those thirteen preoions volume*
of Hukulr Teitimony, tbo portage on which is
loot dollar, and thlrty-fonr oents—who is going
to pay that postage for them ? Y«s, truly, who
|i going to pay It I Then there are the Oon
praastonel Globes, pottage from $I.IG down
wards, and the Agrlecimral and Patent Office
]Uporta, at about fitly cent* apiece, and the
Department Reports, from two dollars down,
tad all the enlogtes and all the whitewashing
reports, to say nothing of tbe centos statistics.
It It computed that if eaob member sends off
hit pro ratnm of th* Pnb. Doc., it will oost
him in portage $1,000 a year—and yon know
b* ia not going to pay that ont of hia own pock-
at! Yea, wa know ha la not going lo pay that
Than, wbat ia going to beoome of the tons of
Fob. Doe*. ? Answer: reserve a supply for
(star* rsfsrsnoe sod send tbs balance to the
paper mill direct. Instead of tbe circuitous route
•f the postoffloe end constituency. In future
print fewer oopies, and deposit them for tbe
benefit of whoever will order them, inoiosing
postage and expenses. All tbe departments will
than have a pretty good test of tbe value of their
literary labors lo the popular estimation,aud who
ever wants their reports can get them at oost
aod know where to apply.
As a matter of fact we donbt not the Fnnk-
lageyetemand froo exchanges will be restored
In fuller force than over during the approaching
winter, and members will be sending home
tbtir weekly wash a, nsnal under frank, in the
soar** of tlx months. Bat tbe present system
is jast, honest and right, and wo sbonld bo glad
lo sa* it conttnued.
Tlin Iran Age In Alabnmiu
A New York exchange says that while the
North has passed the Iron Ago, and Is now en
uring into that of Bronx*, the South Is not
jat out of lbs era of clsy. There Is a good
deal of troth In that figure, except that we
ahenid Inatltnte Brass for Bronze, and say that
oar Northern brethren have traveled a good
ways iolo the bowels of the brazen age already.
However, let them go cn by whatever road
they will.
As for the Sonlb, thnngb we do not wish her
to forsake the olay which, trnnnmnted Into cot
ton, U no bad source of revenne, yet it is very
dear she will speedily enter the Iron Ago In no
figurative sense. Georgia and Alabama teem
with iron ores of ail descriptions In olose con-
tlgnlly with every material neoessary lo fuse
them, and the only question respecting this
vast natural wealth, now lying dormant, is
whether It shall enrloh strangers or her own
■oca. The title to much of it baa already
pawed to oltizena of the North and of foreign
ecuntriea, end this la more particularly true of
Alabama.
It U stid the oast and iron beds of that State
are ample In volume to aupply the entire neoea-
title* of tho world for GOO years or more, and
the mineral wealth of Northwestern Georgia we
believe to bo not Inferior to that of Alabama.
In both Ststea Iron osn be prodnoed far more
cheaply than in any other part of the world, and
In every variety of fibre beat adapted to special
naea in tbs mechanio arts. Tbe newspapers of
Alabama are alive on tbe subjeot of the devel
opment of tbo iron trade, and new farnsoes are
springing np every month. Bnt Georgia is
comparatively arieep—and perhaps she will
oontinos to sleep until, in a lata waking, she
finds ths titles to bar great mineral wealth bavs
passed Into tho hand, of strangers, and her sons
most be content, like the fox in the fable, with
the mere drippings from tbe feast.
We have no doobt of the substantial troth of
tho prognostications of ths iron men in Ala
bama, that In tbs next ten years tbe iron product
of that State will exceed in value the agricultu
ral product, and the same might be true of
Georgia If her eons wonld waks up and avail
tbemaelveaof tbe wsaltb Nature tenders to their
hands. The cry that we have got no oapltal Is
true only to a very limited tx ont. There is
oapital enough to begin, and with a business
affording sixty to eighty per cent, dividends the
creation of oapital will be very rapid. Georgia
is behind tbe age on this subjeot.
TxatinO St.-i;v )« Nxw Jxbsit—A cyclone
•wept through Southwestern New Jersey on
Friday, which damtged farms, urops snd trees
to the amount of several hundred thousand do'-
lara. Every structure in its immediate track
wr i swept away. A tremendous fall of bail as-
oompanied the storm, and ice-atones aa large
a« hen's egg* could be gathered and picked np
in the track of the bnrrioiue by Ibe bnahel.
Tbe storm moved from oast to west, and passed
over Philadelphia withoat any mrrked demon
stration of violsnc*. A heavy fall of rain, how
ever, flooded tbo street* in many parts of tbe
oily, snd a few honsea on the outskirts were
•truok by lightning.
Thx French Government is not only sending
ont young girls from the hospitals snd reform
atories cf Paris to Nsw Caledonia, bat the wives
of the exiled Oommnniste are to follow them.
These latter go by merchant steamers, under
an agreement made by tbe authorities, binding
the shippers to treat their passengers well, and
feed them better tfcsu would be the case on
board a vessel belonging to tho navy. The
first steamers will carry six hundred wires to
their hatbands, who, it ia to be expeoted, will
be glad to welcome them. Seventy-fonr In
fanta and many children will be on board. The
voytge will last seventy weary day*.
“A Sxt ti."—A Dickson oouuty cot respondent
of the Union and Amerloan says: "There was

heard of so far this summer. He measured
ten feet in length, his body was is large ss
that of an ordinary man's, and was the happy
possessor bf forty-two rattles. There la no
exaggeration about this 'snake' tale, for it ia
inevitably true. His body is now at Camber-
land Fatnioe for any one to see that wishes to.'
Twx movement looking toward the formation
of a new State oat of North Mississippi, West
Tennessee and Western Kentucky is being dis
cussed with considerable animation by the news
papers published in th* section interested. A

every oity, town and civil district within the
limits of the proposed saw Stats. The general
aaaouraot seem* to be in favor of th* movement
The Foundation of Governmt-Bt
Mr. Ca-bouu, ^jb i'-s Treatise on Goserrmeot,
a'tiiiaat wi'h fie po.ta'ate that a" govern
moat ia founded on boman se>fl ’—e a—deriv
ing its necessity and its support front that no
amiable element of character; and tbo art
peventing well oontit's in prcaeiving the roc
- c litres between tbese'fi >h. contradictory and
cross purposes of mankind—compelling them
to hold eaob other in check. We speak fre
memoiy, not baaing seen tbe book sloes it fi
appeared; bnt recollect at tbe time a goed many
of the Nor'he.n bre’brao and pb'lo'opberaweia
deeply aeandal'z d at fbia view of government
wbloh they cjr lids red a *»-/ low ooe.
At that t'me tbe brethren of the New Eig
land qnar er were very morh enamored with
tbe mooli) nt, paternal, bead-patUng and
moral antaion theory of government. lathe*
righteous view of tbe matter, Government was
• Heaven-tent and Heaven-sanctified good old
granny with a gentle face, bedewed with amilei
aod rooff, feeding tbe dear Iit-te ones around
her knees, with blessing! aod the best of pap
from a silver spoon.
And aa Mr. Weller observed, "tbem was tbe
sctoorl facts " in tbeir cave. Tbe Government
always baa been a good old granny to tbem—
always bav fed them with tbe richest of pap,
snd those good obildreo woo'd probably have
been oontent to cat their pap and let ns go
srithont any In pesos, to the end of time; bnt
when they saw the Southern boys seceding,
they feared that we sronld insist upon taking a
part of the marbles sod topi with ns, and there
upon their beneficent and motherly govern
meat took Instsnter tbe farm of a red-handed
demon of foroe, wrath and vengeance, and now
their favorite Idea of government rnns on tbe
line of foroe. Indignation and fnry to every one
bnt themselves.
In a word the Government, In their hands,
ever wsi strictly the minister to their own set
fishness, and they have no nse for it lo any other
capacity. Bo long salt could protect tbsir trade-
interest* snd support tbeir views, it was a good
thing, bnt not otherwise. The Hartford Oon
vention and the Blue Lights in tha war of 1812,
displayed their snlmns when they thought the
Government polioy ant agonistic to their intereiU,
snd tbeir bitter dennncisUons of tbe Constitu
tion and Government, from 1835 to 18G0. as a
"League with death and a Covenant with Hell”
beoanse it was thought to uphold Afrloan sla
very, shows bow they held the Government,
when they deemed it antagonistic to their par-
ttcalar ei'etri and doctrine* So loog as tbe Gov
ernment inn on their errands it wa* a good boy,
bat no longer.
And sinae tbe grand seotional straggle per
manently to cnbordinate the Government to the
Interests, ambitions and coneeits of the dom -
nsnt aeotion, tbs illustrations of the oontroling
selfishness of tbe whole oonoern sre sbont ss
thick and constant as the drops in a thunder
shower. Hardly one after another, but almost
all together, tbe patriot loyalists exposo them
selves and their animus, and stand dlsolosed
the exponents of a personal lari of dishonest
acqusition snd domination wbiob would qualify
them to represent any of the worst despotisms
which oppress mankind. Ou the whole, ex
perience proves Mr. Calhoun's theory. Toe
American government has no better real foun
dation than any other.
But it Is when this counterbalance of selfish
sohemes snd plots is deranged and destroyod in
the tnrbnlcnce of war—tho trinmphs of one fac
tion—the warlike oonflfots of numerous fao-
tior.s to dominate over snd destroy each other—
or tbe iron banded despotism of government
Itself olad In tho panoply and fired with tbe
spirit of war, that tbe unhappy people begin to
resize the fail malignity of noobecked fe’flib-
neas. Uf this cap we in the Sonthern States bare
drank to ths dregs, snd we now eee its illustra
tion in tbe oonnlrles of Europe. Germany is
an rximplo of the latter oltas. Tbo poople are
ooops of fighting-oocks all gaffed for tbe next
main. France lies prostrate and bleeding in
every household and family, on no batter rum
MY than a school boy fight whtoh begins with
the challenge, “knock th's chip off my shoulder
if yon dare," rnd Frsnoe wound np the tragedy
by a war of factions more dreadful than the
dynrtllo quarrel. Spain ilmalratoa discord let
loose and is bound for the abyss of a bloody
anarchy; snd there is no tolling how or when
the oonntcrchecks of human sellfi-hnees can
possibly be re-established. France has founa
them in the aspirations and the fears of tradi
tional factions. Germany, Austria and Russia
find quiet in the nndispnted triumph of their
respective dynasties. We in tbe South snbmit
to the lawless dominance of seotional mastery
and find onr only politloa! inspiration in home
straggles to save the relio of fort ones from total
waste. “It is all a muddle'' at best, bat Btill
nothing belter appears.
THE GEORGIA PRESS.
Oortw Fsnours.—The New York Bnlletin
no'os tbe advaooe in ocerra freights, one cause
of which, it says, ia tho inoreased business
with foreign conntries; another tho unusually
large number of vessels lost at sea, thus re
ducing the amount of tonnage avail tble. It
adds: “For tho last seven or eight years, the
losses of sailing vessels have been five for every
one bnilt. The nsnal number of vesiels lost
daring the year is aboot fifteen hundred, bat
daring 1872 tbe losses numbered two thousand
six hundred and eighty three. These losses,
of course, have had their effeds on the freight
market, and also on tho business in ship build-
ring. In regard to rates, ship-owners have now
no esuto to complain of the market for their
Teasels, and, if tbe present state of tbiogs con
tinues. it is a matter of uncertainly of how
high freight* will advanee. There has been
a gradual inerdhse in ship building throughout
the country for several years past, and hopes
are entertained that a nearer approach to equali
ty with England in a maritime sense will be
only a matter of a few years. Strikes within
(he pes( two years have greatly interrupted
sh'p-bniUicg abroad. In the merchant navy
of England there were twenty-three thousand
one hundred and sixty-five vessels in 1870. bnt
in 1872 there were only nineteen thousand one
hundred snd eighty two. Io the Coited States
daring the same period tb ire was a slight in
crease.’’
Tiurauxcx is Tixixore—There is an open
field for the Good Templars in Illinois. The
State Temperance Union was appointed to meet
in Jacksonville on the 15th, bnt only fonrteen
delegates were present, of whom seven were
from Jacksonville, so that no meeting was held.
On the same day tbe prohibition organ at
Detroit came lo an untimely end, its proprietor
absoonding, leaving behind him a stack of un
paid bills and a host of unpaid employes. Tbo
temperance oanse in the West is far from hold
ing it* own, partly owing the presenco of a large
and liberal foreign element In the population,
partly to the reaction against the rigid rales of
the prohibitionists in localities where they have
lately been in the majority, and largely to tbe
squabbles among the temperanoe man them
selves. [

HILTOX MALONE.
Ills Xother’a Tenderness and Love.
A correspondent of the Oolnmbos Sou has
lately been in the Atlanta jail (on a visit) and
had an interview with Malone, the murderer of
young Phillips. We oopy a portion of the re
port:
My father often cornea to see me. I an an
only child. I have been a wild boy, have given
tbem mnch pain. Bat whatever I am and have
been I love them. It Is because I know they
suffer that my fate is so hard. I do not osre
for myself.”
“Have you their photograph?" I eshed,
looking round at tbo walls hung with a few
frameless paper plctnres.
He opened a trank npon which he had been
sitting and handed me a little pccket containing
the two faces and a slip of piper. I held the
pictures np to tbe sheet of light that came in
through tbe narrow window. They looked
down on that reckless And wretched man in an
eloquent eomplaint. They re lied fondly on the
sweet-eyed, laughing prattler—tho boy of
prenrse—the rosy-faced, tender youth. Those
speaking eves aeked where be eras, and fix. i
their steady ftire on the prisoner under the
awful sentence of the broken lav, “Thou shall
not kill.” I was returning them with ths un
opened slip of paper, when be told ne that was
something his mother sent him. I opened a
little poem, headed,
“jr."
If sitting with tb'a little worn-out eboe
Ard acrrlet stocking lying en my knee,
I knew tbe little feet that pattered tb'oush
Tbe pea-l-eet gates that l<e 'tw.xt Heaver, and me,
I could be reconciled, and happy, too,
And looked with glad eyes toward tbe jttper eei.
It in the moi J ! ug, when the aong of birds
Reminds ua of music far more sweat,
I istenod for h : a pretty broken words
Aod for the mat's of hit dimpled feet,
I could be s'noit happy, though I beard
No answer, rnd saw bnt b's vioant seat.
I could be glad if, when the day ia done,
Acd all its cares and heartacbea laid away,
I could look westward to the bidden eun.
And with a heart fall of deep Teaming* say:
“To-night I’m nearer to mv little one
By Jnat the travel of a single day ”
If I ould know those l'ttle f eet were tbod
In eandtla v -•ought of light to better land*.
And that the footprint ot a tender God
Ban aide by aide with hia in golden eande,
I conld bow cheer/r'iy and kite the rod
S-uce Benny wrs in wiser, better hands.
If hs were dead I woo'd not sit I j-day
And stain with tears the wee rock on my knee,
I would not kwa the tiny eboe and eay:
‘•Bring back my little boy to me I”
I would be patient, 1 nowing 'tie God’s wsy.
And that Ho'd lead me to him o'er death's silent
set-
Bnt. oh! to know the feet once pure and white
The nan-ita of vice have boljlv ventured ini
The hand] that should have battled for the right
Have been a. ucg crimson m tbe paths of »‘u 1
And aheu'd be knock at Heavan's door to-night,

O' - near tbe front end. I was thrown under a
seat ir> front of me; don’t remember wbieh
t.do of the c»r I get ont on; know I reached
the engine on the north side; I went forward to
see who wss hru; the firat person I met wa3
one of the marked men, near the baggage car
doer, who poiced a revolver in eaoh hand to-
wrrd me, aud told me to get beck, firing at me
at tbe sime time. I backed down aa far a i the
sleeping coach, before I felt I wr • ont of his
way; there I met Demis Foley, the fireman;
he says, “Billy, Jack is dead.” Passengers
were in a hnbbab, and the women and children
were oryirg, and I told the p- eDgers that 1
thought the ms'ked men were trying to rob the
baggage oar, and t.i- d to borrow a revolver,
but failed. I < utd a* ’ll nee a man from where
I w>«, aid another w- k<ng np and down on the

were robbiog the baggage oar. I went ont of

wb’lo I wp i on 'he bark; the sho)s osme from
tue sonth side of the train; did not see the man
on the nor h side then ; d*d not see or hear any-
tb'ng more of the ma a 1 men. A'ter the pass
engers got qc'et I went forward to investigate
the cause of i he wreok. At tbe hind truck of
the smoking car 1 found that the fish plate had
been remov- d from the rati on the north side,
d i connecting a rr'l. At both ends a rope end
strap were tied in the bolt holes of the discon
nected rail, at west end, and a rope paired nnder
the sonth rail and actors the ditoh snd np into
the bank. A pie> i of rope was also found on
the bank which seemed to have been broken
from Ihe other; it w. < a new rope, the size of
a i mmon bed cord. The west end of the loose
rail, when I saw it, was only a few inches from
the sonth rail; b'nd tracks on smoking car were
still on the trail - We had been lnnn'Dg 18 or
