that single question whether she belong

of logic and common eensc in the conces
sions enforced from 8pain which induced
us to believe that the Administration was
only too willing to push the issue to the
extremity of force.
And now comes tho confession—after
the Virginiaa has been turned over to us
—that she was not entitled to wear Uio

A. Thrilling 1 Address,
Seldom lias it been our privilege to lis
ten to such stirring and eloquent utter
ances os fell from the lips of tho venera
ble presiding Bishop of the South Georgia
Conference on Sabbath night. Tho memo
rial exercises which were deeply interest
ing, had occupied several hours, when
the last biographical sketch, of the late
Bishop John Early, of Virginia, was read.
Bishop Paine then rose and said, as the
colleaguo ami contemporary of tho do-
ceased man of Qod, lie had been asked to
say something of his life and eminent
services. But tho paper just read had
boon such a graphic, truthful, and ex-
linustivo record of tho worthy deeds of
tho departed, that littlo was left for him
to do, and ho should bo brief.
The speaker then reverted to several
incidents in bis own early life, when a
school boy in tho Old Dominion, and re
lated the particulars of his first interview
with Bishop Early. Then, os the mem
ory of those scenes rose to view, and tho
subsequent trials and triumphs of a long
and honorable career passed in rapid
suoceasicn before bim—scenes and events
in which the deceased prelaw lml borne
a prominent port, warming with his sub
ject, burst after burst of impassioned elo
quence electriGed tho auditory. We
have never seen tho power of human
language more signally displayed.
That vast audience forgot tlieir fatiguo
nnd tho lateness of the hour, and listened
delighted and spell-bound to the glowing
words and melting allusions of the “ old
man eloquent,”
When the emotion of his hearers was
at its highest pitch, suddenly tho Bishop
dropped his original theme, nnd using
liis opportunity, presented with tremen
dous power nnd effect the myjpel plan of
salvation to dying sinners. Almost a Pente
costal scene ensued, nnd scores of in
quirers thronged the altar, earnestly ask
ing what they should do to be saved. It
was an oaeaaton not foon to be forgotten
by those whore privilege it was to be
present.
Look Out Tor Another “Accident.”
As tho "Yiiqinius” appear.! not to have
boon entitled to too protection of the
American flag, wo suppose she will have
to be given back to tho Spanish Govern
ment. This will be gall and wormwood
to the "foamerm,” of course, and they
will tear their shirts more frantically
than they did at the beginning of the
fuss. But the Government at Washing
ton will bo compelled to toe the mark,
and send her back.
Wo should not be astonished, however,
if there should be another "accident-
similar to the sinking of the coal barge
in front of the entrance to the dock where
tho Arapile3 was lying. She nay, some
how, be "accidentally" scuttled, or other
wise disposed of o that tli<‘ Spaniard
can’t get her. It would be a fittingao-
couipaniment to the paltry, contemptible
coal barge trick if she should “acciden
tally” K° the bottom.
Verily this is the greatest, tho noblest,
tho most chivalrie, and high-toned Gov
ernment "tho world ever saw.”

I 1,-. ones only a question of time when
I this majority will Btrip capital, and in-
| dnstry of their earnings to feed them-
selves in idleness and riot. And there is
,'oine force in such an idea applied to a
government with no conservative power
about it—a mere embodiment of the will
of tho majority.
"Now,” says autocracy, “1 represent
not the p.-ople, but the Divine will on
earth—I am the embodiment of justice,
law and order, and I fortify myself with
standing armies of well-drilled troops,
furnished with the most destructive
weapons, and when King Demos comes
al>oiit me howling for bread he never
earned, and clamoring for a division of
money saved np by the patient toil and
-e lf-denying economy of others, I cool
him off with grape-shot and cannister.
You will find all your moral suasion and
your appeals to law and justice powerless
with a hungry mob. The mob grow3
violent under reason and remonstrance,
but it quails liefore bayonet and cannon.”
And all this is but a wimple afilrmation
of the maxims of the fathers of this re
public—that free government can
vitli a virtuous and intelligent pco- I
bread.” Nothing coold more speedily ac
complish the complete misery oi the
Communists than the establishment of
their own doctrine of an equal division
of property.
But as silly and suicidal as this doc
trine is, in all probability it will come in
time to a bloody arbitrament in this coun
try, and have to be put down by force.
The liberty praters in America are bound
to have a belly full of it in time.

Latest About Williams’ Paosrscra.
Under date of Friday, the Baltimore Sun’s
Washington correspondent telegraphs as
follows;
Tho Supremo Court, which has been
transacting its business without a Chief
Justice since the sci-ond Monday in Octo
ber, will have to do without its otiicial
head for some time longer. It is now
probable that there will bo no Chief Jus
tice for a mouth to come. It is learned
to-night, from a source not to be ques
tioned, that the nomination of Attorney
General Williams for Chief Justice is still
before the Judiciary Committee, and fur
ther, that the committee has not yet con
cluded its investigation into the pending
charges against him. Whatever couT-
ments liave been made upon his nomina
tion in the Executive sessions have been
incidental, and have been brought oat
during discussion upon other nomina
tions which Senators also regarded as
unfit to l>e made. It may also be stated
that so far the committee are not alto
gether convinced of the entire innocence
of Mr. Williams in the matter of the
charges whichhave been preferred against
liim.
commanding men to labor with diligence—
—to envy no man’s superior wealth—to
covet no man’s possessions—to bo content
with the Divine allotments, and live in
charity and peace with all mankind.
Hence it will be seen that this so-called
"Liberty”—in the sense of more self-will—
baa no rightful existence anywhere on
tho face of tho earth. The only liberty
God has loft to any man, consists in
strict subordination and obedience to law;
and every man, as a member of society,
must either lie in roluntanj or in*enforced
subjection to law. When lie imposes and
enforces the law upon himself lie is no
leas under authority or in subordination.
When be refuses to enforce the law upon
himself ho must suffer the inevitable pen
alties. If lie refuses to practice industry,
self-denial, economy, forecast and patient
labor, lio brings himself and his family
to want and misery. If lie refuses to re
spect the property and personal rights of
others lie becomes an outlaw and forfeits
life on tbo gallows, or is denied the sem
blance of this so-called “Liberty” in the
confinement of prison. There is no other
rightful Liberty on the earth except tho
right to discharge our duty to God and

Some say it will cost $150,000, and
some $200,000, or more, and they refer
to the “Reconstruction” Convention of
1808 as an example. But that conven
tion should be no criterion, for the simple
reason that it was controlled and man
aged and its session prolonged by dele
gates, a majority of whom made tho
pluuder of the State and the people their
paramount object—carpet-baggers, ne
groes and others who paid no taxi's. But
in 1865 a Constitutional State Conven
tion of the real people of Georgia—repre
sentatives of tho property-holders and
tax-payers of Georgia—was held, and was
managed and controlled by such’men as
Charles J. Jenkins, II. V. Johnson, Hines
Holt, A. H. Chappell, Cabiness, Fliil.
Cook, Joshua Hill, John P. King, A. C.
Walker and others, and this convention
passed various ordinances necessary to
our now stato of affairs since the close of
tho war, and adopted a far better Consti-
tion than the one of 1S68, and the cost of
this convention in 1SG5 was but $45,-
3GG.35—the convention being in session
but 14 days, and the members (301) vot
ing themselves $G per day and §4 for
every twenty miles of travel. We can
see no necessity for any future conven
tion consuming a longer time tlian two
weeks, but say that tho next one should
sit three weeks, then tho cost ought not
to be over $00,000.

AVe clip the following from the Colum
bus Sun of Saturday:

deny and control himself. He refuses to
let his appetite and passions interfere
with this settled plan. Ha is prudent,
saving, industrious, faithful—it may be
from an enlightened self-interest, or it
may bo from a just sense of moral obliga
tion. Whatever the motive be, with the
lapse of time necessary to accomplish his
purpose, liabit and reflection liavo made
the path of law' easy to him and ho ceases
to feel tho restraint. Ho gains money,
character, confidence and power with ac
celerating speed, and finds himself at the
noon of life a prosperous or rich man.
Now John takes the other road. Ho is
equally impatient of control either by
himself or anybody else. Ho revolts at
tlie drudgery of labor, no can’t and
won’t save, because he must have this or
that self-indulgence. He naturally seeks
kindred spirits and degenerates by de
grees either into the loafer and vagabond,
or if lie does not sink so low ns this, ho
does not aspire and rise like Tom. He
is not lal>oring with patience, system and
self-dental to better liis condition.
These we take to l>e two generic types
of the average American young man.
These are a pretty fair representation of
the average capitalist and laborer of the
best American civilization. Ti-ue, there
are many exceptions. Sometimes, but
very rarely, men get wealth and keep it
by foul practices. Sometimes the young
man of virtue, industry and intelligence
is kept down by wbat seems the will of
God—the .assignment of Providence. But
generally speaking, our young men fix
their own destiny, and when wealth is
accumulated by one generation, the next,
reared in luxury and self-indnlgenee,
squanders it ; and thus everybody, in
tarn, is remitted to the bottom of the
ladder, to climb or refuse to climb as be
will.
Now suppose John, soured with his
"bad luck,” as lie terni3 it, and envious of
the "good fortune” of Tom, turns Com
munist, and clamors for a division of
wealth—where will he begin on Tom and
ask for a division ? Shall John make
Tom divide the first day and every day,
so that John can lay np in the ale honse
and take liis ease while Tom works for
him—why that would make Tom John’s
“stare”—and are these great labor and
liberty people, the Communists, going to
enslave all who are willing to labor?
Well, then, if John should wait to the
end of tho first month—would that bo
any better ? Or if he should wait till the
end of the first year; or the first ten or
twenty years and then demand the divi
sion—would it be any better ? Is he not
making Tom a slave and himself a man-
stealer and robber to all intents and pur
poses ? The deadly foe of labor and the
champion of indolence and vice ?
But suppose, in spite of these facts,
John demands and enforces the division
—what then ? Is not John all the worse
for the money he takes from Tom P If
he drank whisky before, oat of Bis own
slim earnings, will he not now drink twice
as much oat of Tom’s? If he was lazy
before, will he not now be twioe as lazy ?

Full Time.—The Eagle and Phenix as
well as tho Clegg cotton factories, will
again commence running on full time on
Monday. For some weeks their opera
tives have been employed only for three-
fourths time. Tliis will bo good news to
them and every citizen of Columbus. On
Monday, then, every spindle in the city,
32,000 of them, will resume the busy
whirl and hum of industry.
Spotted in the Act.—Persons up from
the neighborhood of Antioch, Stewart
county, report that a negro man was
found dead near that place a few nights
ago, lying between two dead hog3. He
had stolen tho hogs, killed them, and
while endeavoring to make off with them
was fired upon and killed.
Run-off on S. W. R. H.—The freight
train eu route from Macon to this point,
yesterday morning, ran off about forty-
live miles from this city, and seven cars
were badly demolished. No one hurt and
the engine uninjured. As tho eastward-
hound passenger train went off on time,
we presume tlie track had been cleared.
Tliia road has been unfortunate lately.
Columbus received 1,150 bales of cot
ton on Friday—tho heaviest receipts of
any one day except oua since the war.
At Augusta the cotton receipts during
last week were 12,6 , .*S hales, against 7,-
793 tlie same week last year. Receipts
to date 103,937 baie3, against 105,783 to
fame date last year.
At Savannah the receipts were 35,000
bales—the heaviest ever received at that
port during any ono week.
S. McA. White, of Savannah, classed
out and shipped 1,600 bales of cotton on
Saturday — the largest number ever
shipped in one day by any shipper of
that city.
What does it Mean?—The Savannah
News says, editorially, that it has “ re
ceived intimations which are significant
enough to lead us to believe that the
convention will meet with earnest oppo
sition in quarters ithere, in the olden time,
the serene and impartial atmosphere of of
ficial dignity teas undisturbed by the hot
gusts of partisanship. If the signs of the
times do not b -lie their portent, an ac-
tire, insidious effort is to lie made by
parties more or less interested, to prevent
the people from moulding their organic
law to suit their own requirements.”
Mu. J. M. Alston's gin house, in Sum
ter county, together with three bales of
cotton and the seed from one hundred
and sixty others, was burned last week.

An Extraordinary Statement.
A Washington correspondent of the
Courier-Journal, of Saturday, tells the
following:
MR. STEPIIEN3 AND GENERAL SlIEEMAN.
Last week Hon. Fernando Wood gave
an entertainment to gentlemen. Among
the guests were Hon. Alexander H. Ste
phens and General Sherman. Mr. Wood
approached the General and said: “ May
I present yon to Mr. Stephens ?” " Oh,
yes,” said the General, “ I am not afraid
to meet Mr. Stephens.” After the intro
duction General Sherman said: “ Mr.
Stephens, I am very happy to see you in
Washington again, occupying your old
position of honor.” Said Mr. Stephens
in reply: “ And I am happy to return. I
am gratified and overwhelmed with the
kindness, honor and respect with which
I have been treated.” Said tho General:
“Mr. Stephens, after’ all, this is a good
world. There are good men and good
women everywhere, and if we only feel
kindly towards others wo will find that
it is always returned.” There was much
more said which I have forgotten, except
that Mr. Stephens announced that he
icould. go further than Charles Sumner in
securing every right to the negro. I ac
knowledge, said lie, that I did not always
think so, but now that the colored man
is a voter, don’t stop half way in their
oduoation and privileges. So here we
liavo tho spe-otaolo of two oxtromos moot
ing.
Of course, then, Mr. Stephens will vote
for Sumner’s social equality bill with all
its loathsome, wicked and unconstitu
tional features. Wo cannot believe that
Mr. Stephens, lias been reported correct
ly, hut if he has, his constituents shonld
indignantly demand his immediate resig
nation, or sue out a writ de lunatico inqui-
rendo, and have him sent to tho asylum.
He has either lost his mind, or is medita
ting a treachery to his race and thoso
who made him, without a parallel in his
tory.

Washtnoton, December 19.—Tho in
tended move of Butler to rush the civil
rights bill through the House in a couple
of hours was foiled to-day by the ener
getic protests of the Democrats. Messrs.
Stephens and Lamar intending to speak,
but not being well enough to do so, But
ler then made a speech full of glittering
generalities in favor of tho hill, to which
Mr. Beck forcibly replied, citing, in sup
port of his views, the decision of the Su
premo Court in tho celebrated slaughter
house cases. Tho bill goes over, and will
he debated two days after tho holidays.
PROVISIONS OF THE BILL.
Thepending bill provides that whoever,
being a corporation or natural person, and
owner or in charge of any pnblie inn, or
of any place of public amusement or en-
tertaiment for which a license from any
legal authority i3 required, or of any line
of stage-coaches, railroads or other mcan3
of public caraiage of passengers or freight,
or of any cemetery or .other benevolent
institution, or any publio schools sup
ported in whole or in part at the public
exponse or by endowment for the public,
shall make any distinction as to the ad
mission or accommodation therein of any
citizen of tlie United States, because of
race, color, or previous condition of servi
tude, shall, on conviction thereof, be fined
not less than $100, nor more than $5,000
for each offense, and the person or cor
poration so offending shall bo liable to
the citizen thereby injured in damage, to
be recovered in anjiction of debt.
DANCEROFTHE PASSAGE OF THE BILL.
There is serious danger that this bill
or some kindred measure will pass Con
gress. It excites a deep feeling in this
District; and if passed, it will break up
the public school system here, as well as
in Virginia.
