THE ROMANCE OF THE TIMES.
AN ORIGINAL P EM.
For ihe Georgia Ilerald.]
Nor ehivalri i dis; kiys in Ik-R* of mind
Ti Knights of the Legal Craft are confin’d.
•There are those which to other ranks belong,
Whose doughty feats attract the poet’s song.
Lo! at the vuve of fancy’s magic wand
the Editorial hand ;
Knights of the Fen, Cavaliers oft Tie Press,
Pledg’d truth to defend, error to ledress.
IIv 7 party pi aie or rancor often sway’d
See them the public arena invade,
Many handed as giant Brarens
Their weapons of warfare are various ;
Argument, gasconade, slang, fierce abuse,
They in political tilt freely use.
Self-dubb’d oh ! how these knights of the
Pen—
Push with hot haste into the wordy din,
They pp 1 k oracular as Pagan god,
As they mount editorial" tripod.
E ich rank asserts ihev ordv can devise
Tiiose public measures ( qual, just, and wise.
Which will alone secure the nation’s wo: 1,
And all moral and suci il evils heal.
True sentinels they b >ast themselves to be
That stand on watch-tower of Liberty,
And with prescient wisd< m can descry
E tch dim portei t of p litical sky
Should the nation heed their voice as they
rave,
Tho’ Rome, the cackling of geese once did
save ?
Their wordy conflicts oft exemplify
That tale of olden days of chivalry,
Os the Knights who if shield they might
behold,
One vowed it was silver, the other gold ;
Each with pride their opinion to maintain,
In battle fought until they both were slain ;
Their lives in foolish combat they did ri.-k
Toe shield possessed both g >ld and silver
disk.
The strifes of tongues do not like those of
yore t
With corses heap the field, or stain with
gore.
TV hen many miles divide the warring tw i in,
1 1 armless must fall the pellets of their brain,
Nor leave they any trace of batter’d eye
Save that of argument knocked up in ]ii.
Oh ! that this was the only recri made
Os the strifes in which the Press are array’d
Alas ! this land has sa l lesson to teach
Os the wild and uncurb’d license of speech.
Behold ! yon Temple, that in grand' ur
shm.e,
Tfs pillars rent, its pristine beautv gone ;
I’ho’ lit i p with gi ry’s lingering smile,
It wears but semblance of its once proud
pile.
Who like Erostratus, with direful hand
into this temple the fl tuning brand ?
Who with the bitter, burning speech of
tongue
Inflam’d the South with madden’d sense of
wrong,
And urg’d the North with conscious might
of force
To press to bloodshed its fanatic course ?
An 1 between these wraught internecine
strife,
Vv ho from same dug drew Freedom’s breath
of life,
And same cl ildhood of a glorious past,
Its golden links, of uaioo strong ha 1 cast.
The Press the imputation may disclaim,
Fills it not Erostratus’ niche in fan*e ?
Thou, wild, UDiestraiu'd license of the
Press !
Tho boast of this age of Freedom’s progress !
J he South at least, has bitter cause to rue
The doom thy frenzy wild upon Imr drew ;
Which placed her neck beneath the foot of
foe
Whose cruel spleen knows naught of pity’s
glow,
OH ! how its minions as hyenas rave
O’er South entomb’d in political grave ;
Or vilely 7 rend her b dy as it lies,
Lest firm death-slumber the giant sK uld
rise.
As smitten in tire greenness of her years,
Who sheds not for the South, woe’s deepest
tears ?
What foe but one, o’er her disgrace and fall
Would not draw memory’s forgetful pall?
Oh ! my country ! upon thy might of gloom
Arise there no star of hope to illumne?
He who would now thy name in song em
balm,
Aud wreath thy brow with honor’s fadeless
pa! m f
As he thy horoscope of fate would turn,
Thy ashes deem with phoenix life to burn.
Oh! Freedom diadem’d with thirteen star§
Come thou as erst, to break her prison bars,
Stay thou with the grasp of thine iron hand
The fury of the legislative band,
That in puissant might of conqueror
O’er prnutrate South holds the rod of terror.
Ye Knighthood of the Press ! the peii you
sway,
May to that joyful era carve the way ;
’Tig mightier than sword warriors wield,
And vainly error will oppose his shield,
If truth, and reason oalrn, its sttokes shall
guide,
Aud C'-urtjy grace ?hali o’er the Pies- pre
side. :
Scourge from thy ranks the pel it oianV
hacks,
The tools 'of power, the slaves of green
backs ;
The bright spurs of bore r hew from their
bed,
And let them ihe base doom of minions feel.

WOMAN'S Rl'A« I ITS SPIRIT OF THE
ENGLfSH PRESS.
Tlie London Times says :
In a few words, when the women
of modern times ask for “rights”
they have reason on their side, but
the rights are wrongly stated—a wo
man’s best right is the right to a
natural protector (husband), and that
would carry tlfe rest along with it.
The London Morning Rost says:
It may also be possible to open to
them (women) some more profitable
fields of industry than they now
have ; but nature has defined their
position in society too clearly and
has given them too important a part
to play in life to allow us to confound
rights which belong to them with
others which do not without lowering
them and lessening their proper in
fluence.
The London Standard says :
Yfe invite the women’ to consider
the matter in their own interest.
We put it to them, as wives anxious
for the fidelity of their husbands, as
spinsters expectant ts) become wives,
whether such a reform as Miss Helen
Taylor advocates (political privileges)
would be Calculated for the good of
their sex.
Tho London Telegraph says:
Are we to see great-minded, high
souled, pure-lipped women degraded
in some similar way by shouting in
our market-places and polling booths
ihe silly shibboleths of an electoral
mob ?
The London Spectator says :
But nobody attempted (at a recent
meeting) to show that the mass of
women will at once bring f firly-steady
and disinterested political minds to
bear on the use of the suffrage or that
they will not add a great multitude
to the vendors of v^tes.
Important Decision of C ommission
cr Lsborne. —The cuso of Postmaster
Jones, against whom a complaint was
made by Mr. Wia. 11. Morstino, a
lawyer doing business at 75 Nassau
street, charging him with detaining
a number of letters, which had been*
directed to him by correspondents in
various parts of the country, was de
cided to-day by Commissioner Os
b r ie.
It will be remembered that Mr.
Martine, when under cro-s-examina
tion by Mr. S. Gr. Courtney, counsel
for the Postmaster, admitted that he
had sent circulars agreeing to sell
imitations of genuine bills at so much
per SIOO. This was held bv the
Postmaster as sufficient ground to
hold the letters, under general in
structions from the Postm ster Gen
eral, he having previously informed
the complainant of his decision
through Detective Taylor.
Mr. Osborne, in deciding case,
referred to the celebrated Yazoo case,
in which a Postmaster was justified
in holding printed matter of a treas
onable character, and he adverted to
the fact that the Postmaster General
had given instructions to all Post
masters to detain all letters of an
immoral character, and all which
might be otherwise used to defraud
the people ; and having reviewed the
evidence in the case, he said it had
not been charged that the Postmaster
had opened the letters of Marti! e,
but that he had detained them after
he had found the character of the
circulars to which they were answers,
lie then dismissed the complaint
against Postmaster Jones, whom he
held had discharged his duty faith
fully.

Postmaster Jones, Edwin James,
Esq., for Mr. Martine.
Boring for Sail in Prussia. —For
the last two years, borings lot* rock
salt have been in progress in Sper
enberg, near Berlin, Prussia; the
latest reports, up to February, 1870,
are that a depth of 2,725 feet had
been reached, and the thickness of
the salt bed explored to 2,439 feet.
In order to judge of the exact posi
tion and extent of the same, a sec
ond boring was being undertaken.—
Constitution
There is a great freshet in
the Nississippi river.
An flrtmorilinacy. 80, I— A quar ’
rel took phico betv emj yhr Edward
iv, an E igiL t goaGciu r», very
known In Paris, and another sports
man, not less famous, the Baron R.
The seconds had in vain endeavored
to reconcile them, and it was,neces
sary to have recoin so to anus; hut
a-! both th * principals were first-rate
shots an l swordsmen, it was agreed
Unit they should fight, with-—cigars.
Two cigirs, similar’in every externa
e-p ct, bat one of tlu.m prepared in
such a manner that’ it should explode
and prove mort and to tho smwker,
were placed on the table. The com
batants drew lots for first choice.
Fhe novel weapons of war were then
lighted, and after a few puffs an ex
plosion took place and Sir Edward
fell back, lie, however, immediately
got up and was surrounded by his
seconds, while his adversary offered
him his hand. “Gentlemen,” said
one of his seconds, “you have both
of you shown the greatest courage
since you were both of v<>u ignorant
►. _ o
of the effects of the explosion. Mr.
11. (the other second) and I agreed
only to put a little in one
of the cigars ; and now let us to
dinner. May such be the end of
every duel !” 7’ho meeting is said
to have taken place on the Belgian
frontier.
The Religious on the McFar
land Case—Dangerous Women. —ln
commenting upon the remarkable
letters introduced in the McFarland
trial, the Observer (Presbyterian
gan) uses the following language, un
der the editorial heading ot “Dan.>
gerous Women :”
'i'he letters have no hearing on the
question of McFarland’s guilt or
nocence, but they are before the pub'
lie as illustrations of a class of wo'
men, and of men, too, whose writings
and teachings and example are doing
much to corrupt society and posiou
all the sweets of domestic life. This
is the literature of the free love school.
It is the sentiment of the sentimental
reformers of the present day—pop'
id ir, too, with powerful newspapers,
political and religious—to pander to
their pu: p >s< sand afford them means
of reaching and corrupting the pub
lic mind and heart. These vile let
ters all right minded women would
blush to read, but they are such let
ters as all free lovers, men and wo
men, approve. And diere are no
wome 1 more dangerous and tnisshievi
ous than they who thus busy thern
s< Ives in perverting others from the
p iths of virture and hoi or.
IVomans Suffrage in Illinois. —
The citizens of Illinois are engaged
in “reconstructing their constitution. v
\ convention tor this purpose, is now
in session. A majority report of the
Committee on the Bight of Suffrage
was taken up in Committee of the
Whole, and each section pas: el se/1
atim , without a word of debare or the
proposal of a single amendment, and
>hen at once taken up by the conven
tion for adoption. 4 his looked as if
this troublous question was going
t irongh the convention without the
interruption of and bate or amendment ;
but such was not Its fate. The first
section was read, and amendments
almost without number poured in
from all sources until the close of the
morning session, and were then re
newed at tho opening of the afrer
iioon session. The first amende eit
offered was by Mr. Yaudev i’t *r, to
strike out the word “male.” The
women’s rights advocates will be in
dignant when informed thet this
amendment received 12 affirmative
votes, while 40 votes were cast
against it, most of them in loud and
emphatic tones.
A Literary Cat't —ln accordance
with the intellectual activity of Bos
ton, a cat in hat city has been spr ad.
irtg herself in ink. Iler previous
habits had been to slu t ber quietly of
afternoons up->n a desk in the office
of her owners, who are ink manufac
turers. One morning, ad vor two
since, in prowling about in the facta*
ry, she fell into a barrel of the fluid.
Emerging ths nee, “in beauty .’ike the
night”—site had been previously re
markable for her whiteness —she
dashed in the counting room, sprang
upon the desk, passed over and upon
the account books and papers, and
left her sign inanuel upon the ledger.
2 r be astonished manufacturers have
m >re evid< nee than they want of the
depth and lichness of color of the
material they pro luce ; and the cat,
unlike Pope, wl o boasted that he
was u dipp and in ink,” seems exceed
ingly uncomfortable as a colored in
dividual.

The Western Egg Trade. —Tho
magnitude of this trade, when advis
ed of it, will astonish many of our
readers. Sum# idea may be Termed
of it when we state that recently at
Toledo, Ohio, there arrived, in a
freight tram on the Wabash Railroad,
seven car. loads of eggs. ThutC w.<*ro
in each car 125. barrels, or 875 bar
rels in ail Allowing 120 dozen eggs
in each barrel, there were 1,260,000
eggs on board that train. This is tho
calcupation of the Toledo Blade,* but
ordinary acquaintance with oval lux - *
uries would induce the belief that
there were more chickens than eggs
on hoard.
T he process of canning egg3 in
their own shells was recently explain
ed at a meeting of the New York
Farmers’ Club. It is done in t! is
manor : When two or three dozen
eggs obtained from the heats, placo
them in a dish and pour scalding
water over them, and immediately
turn it off. 7his process is repeated
three times by whic7i means.th.e albu
men is fixed or coagulated, the pores
of the shell closed, and the egg, as it
were, canned in its own covering.
The eggs thus prepared are then
packed in salt, with tho-apex down
ward, and they are said, to keep per
fectly fresh for m tny months.
