It administered the gov<*rnment during
more than thnv-fourtiis of our history
honestly and patriotically—in the tru-

ends of government and not to foster
trade, manufactures and private specula
tion. It sought only the great ends of
public liberty without license—of public
and private order and security without
officious and oppressive in term edging*
with personal liberty. It was a manly,
oourageous, virtuous, free and cheap gov
ernment. Tho good citizen never felt its

Iti succ—<.-*or in simply a combination
to speculate on the national power and

that it never pretends to administer the

its own profit. We have ceased to hear
anything like a lofty and patriotic senti
ment from anybody concerned in the pub
lic administration. Indeed, the language
of patriotism would now be laughed at as
mere cant, and an unselfish thought or
purpose, in a public official, would be
confessed hypocrisy. No wonder Elilm
mourns over the loss of the salt and the
yeast in the great mass.
Tlie President on the Finances.
The longest speech or ratiocination on
any subject we have ever had from the
President, is given in this edition in tike '
press dispatches for Sunday. Tlie Presi
dent on Saturday expressed himself at
length in regard to tho late panic, and gavc f
with much reserve and caution, his viewi
upon tho proper financial policy to be
pursued hereafter—leaving his conclu
sions, however, subject to revision and
amendment hereafter. He says truly
that tho panic was peculiar in this, that
it did not assail or weaken the currency,
but leaves it stronger than before. But
wo think he is in error in ascribing this
panic to anything like a general shrink
age of values. That is not apparent. It
was rather an explosion of fancy stock)
investments which he himself says could
not in any amount feed a family, for they
brought no income. His schemes of free
flunking - of a prohibition of interest on
deposits, and a post office bank, will elicit
various opinions. Nb doubt they have
been mrsfnQj considered by tho party
leaders, and the whole paper is a mani
festo designed to direct attention, in ad
vance, to a lino of policy on these sub
jects, without committing him or the
party inexorably to the programme, be
fore public opinieii has pronounced upon
it. The paper is a very important one
and doservos particular attention.
Silver Small Change.
Tho President in liis remarks on the
panic and eifrroncy expresses surprise
that silver small change docs not substi
tute the government shinplasters now in
use for that pur|>ose. He says, what is
true enough, that American silver is about
on a par with greenback currency* both
being about ten per cent, below, and there
o good reason why silver should be
longer hoard oil. We think, on the other
hand, it is safe to assume that until the
paper small change is suppressed*or be
comes very scarce hv the process of wear
I tear, we shall never see silver money.
Let any mma «*k himself the question
whether with fiffy cents in silver and fif
ty cents in a change bill ho would first
part with tho former or latter, and he
will have a universal answer to the prob
lem. The paper will circulate so long as
there is a supply of it, and hence the gov
ernment should cease to make stamps
id let the supply wear out. There is
an immense amount of American silver
change hoarded, not only in this countiy,
but outside of it- In Canada it has been
a pest ever since the reign of irredeem
able paper, across tho line. The intro
duction of a metalic currency will con
duce to personal economy. People are
far more liberal with dirty, rugged change
bills than they would be with ailver
•hange. Is it strange? Strange or not,
it will be found to be true.

was inode in Chicago last Friday. A

to organic® a pioyemcnt for building d
railway comi<*cfing Chicago with some
Southern Atlantic port, Eighty-nine
ilclivates were in attendance from South
ern and Western States, and Governor
Magoffin, of Kentucky, presided.
As a matter of course, there was a
lively controversy about tho guneyal route
and the Southern terminus of the road.
North and South Carolina were there in
strength, contending for their respective
States, while Georgia had but three dele
gates present. The changes were loudly
rung on tlie Cumberland and Rabun
gap# i but at last it was wisely resolved
to leave the route to the surveyors and

of a sermon recently preach'd by Judge
A. R. Wright from the text, “What shall
it profit a man if he gain tho whole world
an l lose his own soul," aa follows: "My
brethren, a man cannot afford to lose liis
soul. He’s got but one and can’t get an
other. If a man loses his horse he can
get another; if he loses his wife he can
get another; if he loses his child he can
get another—but if he loses his soul, good

The Romo Commercial endorses the
very "sensible proposition addressed to
t*ie farmers by the cotton factora of
Macon,** and says the warehousemen and
merchants of that place "heartily agree
to the same terms."

interesting infants weighs 45 pounds.
The Truth and the Whole Truth.—
Last week, says the LaGrange Report
er, we advised the planters to bring in
their cotton; this week we repeat the ad
vice. This we particularly urge on those
whose obligations are falling due. The
merchants who has all tho year accommo
dated you when you had neither money
nor cotton, is entitled to his pay just as
>ooii as it is duo. Theie is one thing too
often forgotten l*y farmers; that is, that
the debts owed by the mercliants must
be paid on tho very day they fall due.
The former often says to tho merchant,
"You needn’t be afraid -1 am good for
what I owe you." But the merchant
knows a thing that the farmer does not
reflect on—that the latter’s solvency and
honesty are not worth a cent towards
paying* a note in bank. It is presumed
that the farmers are good for their debts,
or they would not have been trusted; but
their goodness is not money, and nothing
but money will pay a note in bank. If
the merchant does not meet his obliga
tions nxomptly to a day, he is ruined; and

GENERAL TOOMBS AT WARRENTON
What He Thinks on Divers Subjects
—He Wants to be a Granger and
with the Grangers Stand—He also
wants a New Constitution—One of
the Lost Arts In Georgia.
General Toomb3 attended Warren
court last week* aqd pne day after it ad
journed for dinner, at tho request of the
people he made them a talk on tho situ
ation, financially and otherwise; a synop
sis of which we find reported for the Con
stitutionalist of Sunday, and from which
we make those extract * i
In his opinion our present financial
embarrassments are tho legitimate re
sults of the pernicious practice of plan
ters borrowing money to make cotton,
together with the gigantic frauds foisted
upon the commercial confidence of the
people by the magnates of the syndicate
developers and friends of the tyrants at
Washington in their wild speculations
with other people’s money; building
railroads in localities where the com
merce of the country will not pay even
the running expenses of the same.
He urged tho planters to abandon at
once this ruinous practice and to live
within thoij* qwji means, make their pro
visions at hqme, anu all would again
become prosperous, happy and great.
He affirmed that the building of an ox
cart was among the lost arts in Georgia,
and that many planters gave as their
excuse for buying Northern hay that
grass would not grow in this cqnntry,
when it is known to be a fact that,
during the growing season, nearly every
man, woman and child, black and
white, able to work, are laboring hard to
kill grass—yet it will pot grow, forsooth,
in this State. His advice to the planters
with regard to tlie disposition of the
present cotton crop was to sell enough
cotton to pay their debts at onoe, and re
tain at home the remainder until money
was easier and prices more satisfactory.
He was rejoiced to see the planters or
ganizing for their protection against the
oppressive exa tions of vast railroad ino-
•polies, and the corruptions of design
ing politicians. He urged tho organiza
tion of their Granges and farmers* asso
ciations. He cared nothing for their
forms nor the secrets of their body. He
was with them in the fight, and would
not hesitate to accept the aid of the devil
in the strugg]** against the enemies of
his country. It could npt b** charged
upon him that he was seeking office or
place, for he was not eligible to hold the
pMaitin!} Qf a constable. He thanked God
for tin mark of distinction conferred by
the enemies pf his country, and would
never cease battling for the right as long
s he could find a wrong to oppose. He
o*lIpd nnpjj the people to hold county
brings «nd ii»itnjct their present
Representatives to vote at the next
session of the Legislature for & con
vention of the people to abolish the
present State Constitution and ftdopt the
old Constitution, under which we had
grown to be a prosperous, great and hap
py people. The inherent evils oorpora-
u*d in th# present fundamental law of
the State, in the opinion of the speaker,
are the material results of the great
length of oJKcc tenure. He was in favor
nacting the usury law of James the
First, whieh not only subjects the offend
ing party to the forfeiture of his money,
but inflicts in addition corporeal punish
ment with a cat-tail. All corporations
should be confined strictly to their char
tered privilege#! He had brought suit
against the Georgia railroad for freight
harges in except* of their chartered limits.

Rebake of Open Communion.
Tardy publication is this morning given
the letters of Dr. Tozer, late Missionary
Bishop of Zanzibar, addressed to Bishop
Pptter of this Diocese, and the Dean of
Canterbury, finding fault with the latter
for participating in the communion ser
vice of the Presbyterian Church in this
city, last Sundaj-.
Dr. Tozer says this con iuct of the
Dean will be accepted in this country
and in England, as sufficient occasion
and justification for Episcopalians in at
tending the attractive services of the
Catholic Church, and may be cited to
pronounce the representation that the
Episcopal Church is a haven of rest for
those tossed by multiplicity of d'^ctrine,
a delusion and a snare.
James Bogh, a noted painter, is dead.
