But why these pointo was not ent icon protect news with h< or insult to whole gravamen of our complaint—and all our rights and wrongs under tbo ac tion of Spain in capturing her—hung on that single question whether she belong ed to this country and was therefore en titled to its protection ? It was this lack 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 Hag, and we hail no business with her or lier wrongs as a national indignity! Clearly this is a lame conclusion. This is very awkward diplomacy, 'Wo have won a smile of derision from the world and will get it. Tlio l>cst thing which can bo done is to caulk that leaky ship in a hurry, and take tier over to Havana some dark night and there anchor her, and award tho Stato Department a leath er modal. 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.” control of the Government, and it then 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. THE GEORGIA PRESS, At Houston Superior Court lttl week. Nelson McGehee, negro, was sent to the penitentiary for twenty years for killing Mr. Forney Pool, near Henderson, a short time since; and Nelson “Wilson, negro, for life, for killing Abram Has or, another negro. Tub grand jury of the same court, as wo learn from the Perry Journal, found a true bill “against Mr. Haight, man ager of the Great Eastern Circus, for vio lating the Sabbath by unloading and put ting up his canvas, etc., last Sunday. Also against several followers of the show for keeping gambling tables. A bill was also found against Colonel Virgil HAZARD & CASWELL’S COD PURE A5D SWEET LIVER OIL.

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 I that bubble very effectually, os fallows : 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.

It is so tweet ami pure that it can be retained by the stomach when other kinds fail, and latieuts soon become telike it. The secret of making gooVCod Liver Oil lies in the proper application of the proper degree of heat; too much or too little will seriously injure the quality. Great atteutktt to cleanliness is also absolutely necessary to produce sweet Cod Liver Oil.

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 ?

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. Inocndiary. » . The election in Lee county, for a rep resentative in the Legislature to fill the vacancy caused by the death of Dr. H. B.

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. Tile Civil’itigUts RU1.

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.
