Trn* recent disruption of the Demo-
craiic party nt Atlanta, under the
spirit of Joseph R Brown, may ex
tend to every part of the democratic
organization throughout the State.
Indeed, 1 believe that is Brown’s
scheme and he rarely fails in the exe-
cuiiou of his plans. The fracture of
the parly on the gubernatorial ques
tion is but an earnest of the general
break up Gov. B. has taken in hand.
The history of the Democratic parly
is a standing reproach to Joe Brown,
ami, if organized and alive, its nomi
nees will go to ihe general assembly
ami defeat him.
In this exigency Brown’s remedy
is lo kill the party. It is not the
first lime he has kill<‘d his party. In
truth he has betrayed every political
trust confided lo him. lie was so
hot a secessionist that he must needs
Commit technical, actual and literal
treason by seizing the property ol
the United States in the name of his
State when that State was etill in the
Union. The war had Aaroely begun
when he raised an impaHum imperiv
oy levying an army of his own, of
five thousand men, of which he, as
Governor of our State, was comman
der in"chief. It took nearly a year
to break down this scheme of de.
inoializaiion, but when it failed lie
continued doting .the whole war to
work for counter-revolution ami put
every difficulty he could devise in the
way of Jefferson Davis and the Con
federate Government. The war had
not ended before he about faced, and
the radical secessionist became tli
radical Republican ; and then when
the dark days of’67 came upon us,
when our slaves, headed by scalawag
and carpet bagger, were turned into
political masters to keep our section
subject and degraded forever, Brown
gave his uncommon ability, his
Oratt, his heart and his temper, to
force ll is bitter cup of humiliation t<>
our lips. We drank it to the dregs.
He made the Democratic party bitc
the dust, lie was rewarded by the
Chief Justiceship of the Slate at the
bands of lire adventurer whom he
had made Governor. From thence
under cover of ihe ermine he was en
abled to scheme imo bis possession
and control the State’s magnificent
property, which has made him rieh
and created him a railroad magnate
of the land. It was at this price he
came back to the Democratic parly.
The Republican party which he_ de
serted not only fell to pieces, but fled
from justice. While his political as
sociates were flying from criminal
warrants, their distinguished chief,
stile, prosperous and happy, sat cn-
itroncd a railroad king. If his em
brace of the Republican party mraot
their ruin whenever the price was of
fered to their chief, his accession to
the Democracy meant no less to it,
when the power and occasion should
come to Joseph 12. Hi own. That
time came,{and our parly is in ruing.
Wiiat Joe Brown and Victor New-
oomb intend to do witli us I do not
know. Brown, ten year's ago, got
its railroad from bis State, and now
it appears intends to tako the S.ate
for his railroad. A strange revolu
tion is upon us. Railroad combina
tions are the power which arc hence
forth to disrupt parties and rnlo the
commonwealth. Railroad Presidents
are made Senators, and United Slates
Senators are translated into the gen
eral counsel of Mr. Victor Newcomb,
of Kentucky, the famous railroad
manipulator of the day. This young
Napoleon having possessed himself of
the country stretching from the Gull
to tlie Ohio and from the Tennessee
to the Mississippi, desires lo lay hold
of Georgia, and, like Sherman, make
his march to the sea. To this end
Brown is made his coadjutor, Gordon
his man Friday, Colquitt his tool, ami
the Democratic parly his first victim.
With the fall of this party our State
will be turned over to the spoiler.
AU.this is going on Ireloreour eyes,
and, from Muscdgee excepted, not a
cry of distress is rni-ed. The worst
feature in the dark picture is ll at the
press have joine d the conspiracy. That
bulwark ot our liberty is now abusing
the pubjic ear, and reiterating the lie
that, not Joe Brown and his caucus,
but that the minority of the Conven
tion, in the exorcise of their organic
right, have broken our party in twain;
ill this, too, in the name ol the p- o-
ple.

I saw our party was gone when I
heard Gordon defame it, by stating
that those who voted lor Grecly in ’72
went to Brown in ’68. I saw the
manner of its destruction when I heard
Brown deciding upon the two-thirds
rule for the convention ami the major
ity rule for the caucus. These two
opposite courses ol actiou—both or
dered by the people, says Joe Brown
—meant and could result only in
what was effected, an adjournment
without a nomiimlKnv.
The curtain has fallen on the first
act of the drama. It has given us no

party and Slate, and that is by the
election to the executive sent of the
Hon. Thomas M. Norwood.

GOOD SOCIETY.
Matty parents who have sons and
daughters growing up are anxious for
them to get iuto good society. This
is an honorable anxiety. If it inter
prels good society alter some lofty
fashion.
Parents, your daughter is in good
•oeL-ly when she is with girls who
ate sweet and pure and true-hearted
who are not vain or frivolous, who
think of something besides dress or
flirting or marriage; between wlioui
and their pa ents there io confidence ;
who are useful as well as ornamental
in the house, who cultivate their
mil ds, and train their hands to skill
ful workmanship.
If society of this sort is not to he
had, then none at all is preferable to
a worthless article. See to it that you
press this r n your children, and above
all, that you do not encourage them
to think that good society is a matter
of fine clothes, or wealth, or boasting
to somebody. As you value your child’s
soul, guard tier against these misera-
b e counterfoils; and impress upon
Iter that intelligence, and simplicity
and modesty, and goodness, are the
only legal coiu.
The some rnie holds for boys as well
as for girls. Yon would have these
enter into good society. Do not im
agine that you have accomplished it
when you have got them iu with a set
of boys whose |»renta are wealthier
than you, who dress better t an your
boys can afl'ord to dress, aud|who pride
themselves upon their social jtositicn.
Gootl society for a boy is society of
boys who are honest and straightfor
ward, who have no bad habits, who
are earnest and ambitious. Tluy are
not in a hurry to be men. yp
They are not arobilit us for the com
pany of shallow, heartless women, old
enough to be their mothers, and are
not envious of their friends who fancy
there is something ‘grand in dulling
the edge of their heart’s hojie u|»on
such jaded favorites.
There is nothing sadder than to sao
either young men or women priding
themselves upon the society which
they enjoy, when verily it is a Dead
Sea apple that will choke thtrn.in the
dust, when they need some generous,
juicy fruit to cool their lips and stav
the hunger of their sods.—Christian

THE TRUE WIFE.
Oftentimes I have seen a tall ship
glide by against the tide, as if drawn
by an invisible tow fine with a huns
dred strong arms pulling it. Her sails
unfurled, her streamers drooping, she
had neither side-wheel uor stern-
wheel ; still she moved on, stately, In
ectene triumph, as with her own life.
But I knew that on the other side of
the ship, hidden beneath the groat
-bulk that swarm so majestically, there
was a little toilsome steam tug^ with i
heart of fire and arms of iron, that
was tugging it bravely on; and I knew
that if the little steam tug untwined
her arms and left the ship, it would
wallow and roll away, and drift hither
and thither, amhgo off with the
effluent tide no man knows where;
and so I have known more than one
genius high-decked, full-freighted,
wide-sailed,gay-pennoned, who,but for
the bare toiling arm and drave warm
heart of the faithful liulu wife that
nestled c’ose to him so that no wind
or waves could part them, would
have gone down with the stream and
been heard of no more.— O. W. Iloh

The New York correspondent of
the Louisville Courier-Journal says :
Bob Toombs has hit the nail ou the
heed at last. He says that Gordon
ought to bo able to live on a Senator’s
salary of $6,000, and tha: h* (Toom* s)
has managed to get along, dignity
ar.d all, on $1,500 a yea/- He avers
that he boarded iu Washington at $10
a week with Clay and Crittenden,
and continuing in this strain, asserts
boldly that any man invested with
so high an office as Senator ought tu
be content to live on potatoes if ne
cessary. If Robert will stick to this
and similar ideas he will become
good Democrat. Gen Marion, it is
said, lived on sweet potatoes iu the
swamps of Carolina, ant! if there had
been any bashful interviewers in an
cient Rome we should probably have
learned that Ciuoiiinaius got along
very well on bacon and groers, and
was rathei-.sorry to eive up plowing
aud take to a practical way of “sav
ing his country.’’ Forty years ago
there was a campaign cry of * rt ast
beef and $2 a day,” things that the
opposition declared could only bn en
joyed by an iudolcnt aristocracy
There were no Delmonicos or West

against her fuur-dollura mirror, and
sad was the wail -she Jittered. Her

crocodile teans and inter spersed with
