The Fourth of July—Judge Johnson’s
Letter— The True Policy of the
South.
Judge Berschel Y. Johnson's letter,
accepting an invitation to be present at
the 4th of July celebration at Atlanta,
is a wise and patriotic document. Many
excellent reasons are given why the
South should revive the memories of
her aucient glories and the common glo
ries of the Union. There have been many
grievous departures from the doctrines
of the Fathers of the Republic; but
what could more powerfully assist in
bringing faithless men back to the
principles of 1775 and 1776 than a pub
lic recital of the grand thoughts and
deeds of the glorious past? The posi
tion taken by General Toombs, in an
tagonism to that of Judge John
son, is perhaps intensified by a
deep personal grievance. In this per
tinacious adherence to an uncompro
mising policy, Gen. Toombs resembles
Lons Kossuth and his career in Hun
gary since the days of 1848-49. Toombs
is honest in bis purpose, just as Kos
suth has been in his convictions. But
Hungary, under other leaders, without
the sacrifice of a single principle, lia3
gained in peace, after terrible trials,
all she temporarily lost in a disastrous
war. Her ancient constitution has been
restored ; the Emperor of Austria is
crowned King of Hungary at Pestb, as
suming the iron diadem of St. Stephen ;
the local affairs of the country arc in
the hands of its own people; an
overshadowing German policy no lon
ger controls the empire of the Kaiser ;
upon the Magyars Francis Joseph has
had to lean, in the day of calamity,
just as his ancestress, Maria Theresa,
did in the olden time; and by manifes
tations of affection instead of tyranny,
no more devoted subjects of the Haps
burg dynasty exist than the people
who, not quite 30 years ago, followed
the banners of Gorgey, Bem, Klafka
and Damjanic in their advance upon
the Austrian host. Like the South,
Hungary was reconstructed, and Hay
nau insulted women just as Beast
Butler did in New Orleans. A
cry of horror rose all over Eu
rope when it was pi'opcsed to
quarter the Cossacks upon the Hunga
rians, just as negroes and carpet-bag
gers, backed by satraps, were fastened
upon the South. After eighteen tre
mendous years of agony and trial, the
olive branch of peace was resorted to
instead of the sword; and the unfriend
ly laws, more terrible than a lethal
weapon, because the one slays the body
while the other crucifies the soul,
were utterly repealed.
At last the North is beginning to un
derstand that the South is necessary
to the prosperity of the country and
its moral welfare; at last there is a
token of fraternity instead of hostility ;
at last the people are beginning
to wake up to the fact that
the old principles of 1776 are better
than the new principles of a rule-or
ruin faction ; at last bitter experience
is demonstrating that the North cannot
nope ior tuiu.u -- * -=>
as the South is trodden upon and
abused ; at last we have some glimpses
of a true restoration, by which, without
disgracing the North, there shall come
honor and justification to the South.
It is tiue that there are some ugly
spots upon this picture, such as Beast
Butler’s presence in military state at
Bunker Hill; Burnside’s narrow
minded speech; Sherman’s Jack-in
th e-Box tom-foolery and Wen
dell Phillips’ ravings. But it is to be
hoped that the vast majority of peo
ple in all parts of the Union, from mo
tives of patriotism or what you will,
are rallying to the old standards of
liberty and law, and that the best way
to annihilate the marplots and con
spirators is for the South to encourage
this wonderful movement and not to
balk it. By standing aloof, we shalj
not stop it; by taking an active part,
we may, and very likely will, recover,
just as Hungary did, all of the essen
tial principles for which our women
suffered and our heroes died.
v While Judge Johnson and men of his
noble stamp are pleading for charity
and peace at the South, Judge Chris
tiancy and other fearless patriots, at
the North, are echoing the same senti
ments. In a recent address the new
Michigan Senator said : “ Though we
“ have gone through a bloody war, we
“ must remember the Southern people
“ are our own flesh and blood. Let us
“ remember the war is over, and take
“them by the hand, as we must be
“ aware that one portion of our coun
“ try cannot flourish at the expense of
“ the other, but we must favor all alike.
“We must remember there should be
“ an equality of States as well as of in
“ dividuals. Wo must bear in mind
“that the people of the South were
“ brought up under different habits and
“circumstances from ourselves, and
“ you cannot change a people in a day,
“ but time is a necessary part of such a
“change. Had we been in their cir
“ cumstances, would we haveaccommo
“ dated ourselves to the circumstances
“ any more readily ?”
No grander design could be dreamed
or thought of than bringing the dis
united people of the States back to a
common centre of healthy action, and
this will be materially aided by concil
iatory utterances from distinguished
men. We welcome them, therefore,
come from whatever honorable source
they may, and trust that the day of the
Philadelphia Centennial will dawn upon
a people who, grown wiser from expe
rience, are united in bonds of genuine
fraternity based upon principles which
are the heritage of us all.
Spiritual Comfort. —ln the Poor Com
missioner’s report for Frankiin county,
Ohio, the following items appear: “ Whis
key for the poor, $56.60. Bread for the
poor, $16.35.” They must have taken their
proportions from Jack Falstaff’s sack
hill. With them whiskey, not bread was
the staff of life, — Union and American.
Perhaps the poor man who got that
whiskey took it iu a bath when dead.
It is said that paupers thus preserved
occasionally find their way to medical
colleges.
Snicirte— lts Prevalence in this Coun
try-Motives for the Act.
Our exchanges are filled with ac
counts of suicide, some of the incidents
being very peculiar. The motives are
so various that a mere enumeration
would take a great deal of space end
run the gamut of every passion and
eccentricity. in frail humanity. The
leading causes, however, are remorse,
dissipation, domestic trouble and hu
miliating poverty. In the great ma
jority of cases we incline to a belief that
constant brooding over woes, real or
imaginary, produce insanity and that,
in a wild moment of despair, aggrava
ted by physical disorder, precious life
is taken. It very frequently happens
that when a man becomes unfortunate
in any way, he resorts not to heaven
and religion for relief and guardi
anship from himself, but to the
brandy or whiskey bottle. The
result of that kind of consolation is
usually disastrous. The temperance
people have a good anecdote of a per
son who was asked whether he consid
ered getting drunk as grave a crime as
any of the other seven capital sine. He
answered that intemperance was the
least offense. It chanced, however, ac
cording to the narrative, that, happen
ing to become intoxicated, he commit
ted all the crimes enumerated. Now
and then very remarkable explanations
are given by individuals who slay them
selves. Iu a Northern exchange we
read, for example, that on Saturday
last a respectably dressed man, who
registered his name as John Schneider
and his address as New York, took a
room at French’s Hotel, in that city.
Within the next three days he drank
freely, but was not at any time intoxi
cated. On Wednesday at 1 o’clock ho
went to his room, and a few hours
later he was found stretched on the
floor, his head and face besmeared
with blood and a navy revolver near
his right hand. The following letter,
written in German, to some unmention
ed friends, was found on his person :
Dear Friends—The step I am now com
pelled to take is very unpleasant. lam
shaking all over my body so I can hardly
write those lines. Thousands of dollars I
have lost, thousands I have invested in
goods, and thousands I have trusted out.
Now I cannot receive a cent from anybody,
notwithstanding lam so hard up. I cannot
work with my own hands, so I have to take
i his unpleasant step. lam sorry I have to
leave this word in good health, and sorry
that I have to leave those I have helped so
often. Hake this step much against my
will—not so much because of myself as on
account of my two sons, to whom the dis
grace of my death may attach But I can
not remain in this world much longer, God
is my witness. So. now, farewell, and if I
have injured any one I ask forgiveness.
But for the last four or five years there has
been so much bad luck, and times have
been so hard, my only course now is to do
what I am about to do. No doubt there are
many more who will soon be driven to the
same death. God have mercy! Here dies
one that is not a bad man!
That is a sad confession. It is the
lot of most of the children of men to be
betrayed by their fellows, but they are
safe so long as they do not betray
themselves into the commission of an
act which involves such irreparable
consequences. For the unhappy crea
tures who take a leap into the dark,
‘tf act, we have nothin o- n..*,
pity, oompaooion ana cnarity. TUe
God who made them will judge them
mercifully and weigh them in a balance
of His own. There are weak and strong
men, healthy and sick, morbid and clear
souled, lucky and unlucky. Strange,
wild, varied and dramatic are their
careers ; and when darkness comes
upon any of them, mocking the sun
shine that falls softly and brilliantly
upon others, we are painfully reminded
of the true lines of the poet:
“Why, let the stricken deer go weep,
The hart ungalied play;
For some mu -t wake while others sleep—
Thus runs the world away!”
The Color Line-Six of One and Half
a Dozen of the Other.
Men like Y ice President Wilson and
Charles Nordhoff make much ado
over what they call “the color line in
the South.” When occasion serves, we
do not find that the Northern white
man differs in any respect from his
Southern brother, although the provo
cation with the latter is inexpressibly
greater than it can be with the former,
because of difference in numbers. For
revolting crimes in the East or West,
committed by inferior races, Judge
Lynch appears upon the scene with
quite as much promptness there as
here. When it comes to carrying out
social equality, the repugnance beyond
our border is even more pronounced
than it is within our confines. Under
the very nose of the Vice President,
we read of a case in point, at Howard
(negro) University, to-wit. In the
Washington Tribune a letter is pub
lished asking :
Why was it in the recent election of a
President that the color lino was so dis
tinctly drawn? Why did all the white
members vote as if with one voice for a
man of their own color and religious faith,
and that, too, without nomination in the
trustee board? Why did all the colored
members vote for Professor Langston?
Who was it intimated that no colored man
could be found competent to manage such
an institution, and that colored people
should be treated as public wards until
sufficiently educated to take care of what
he Government has given them?
Now there is just as much antago
nism to race-unity doctrines among
white Radicals as among white Demo
crats, when the pinch comes. The Radi
cals have squeezed the negro lemon.
When they think it to their interest,
they will not hesitate to throw away
the peel.
Time’s Changes. —The Milwaukee Sen
tinel says: Ten years ago when a man
suddenly blossomed into a millionaire
and one asked how it happened, he was
answered, “Oh, he was a sutler.,” or
“He was a shoddy contractor.” Later
the answer was, “He had a contract to
furnish a pane of glass for the Tam
many Court House.” Now, when a
similar occurrence provokes the same
question, it is satisfactorily answered
by, “He was a gauger.” The Danbury
News, admonished by recent events,
thiDks the latest cry will be, “He was a
smuggler.”
The boss corn cultivater—a tight
boot.

Old Things Made New—How the Pres
ent Utilizes the Past.
Whenever anew invention startles
the world some kind casuist goes to
work and demonstrates that it is sim
ply the revival of a process known to
the ancients. The laurels of originality
are torn from Paul Botton’s brow by
an antiquarian, who declares the Yan
kee swimmer “had a predecessor in
Dardanus, who at the time of the
deluge of Deucalion, swam from Saus
to the coast of Troy. Dardanus had
his body wrapt up in a dress which
was inflated as a leathern bottle, and
swam with the aid of one paddle.”
Very recently we published an ac
count of how glass could be eliminated
of its brittleness and made as infrangi
ble as steel. It appears that this mar
vel also is only a resurrection, since its
first discovery has been traced to the
time when Tiberius was Roman Em
peror, as recorded by Pliny; but Tibe
rius feared the invention would de
prive gold and silver of their value,
and, having learned that the inventor
was the sole depository of the secret,
ue caused him to be decapitated.
And now comes M. Huppenjer, a
Frenchman, who has invented a ma
chine for writing spoken words. The
Revue lrulustrielle describes the contri
vance as being about the size of the
hand. It is put in connection with the
vocal organs, the instrument recording
their movements upon a moving baud
of paper iu dots and dashes. The per
son to whom the instrument is attach
ed simply repeats the words of the
speaker after him iuaudibly. This lip
language is then faithfully written out.
No doubt this miracle of science will
likewise be traced to the Adamite or Pre-
Adamite world ; but the man who res
cues a lost art is entitled to a credit
almost, if not quite, as great as the
original projector.
When the “swing flat” superseded
the old pole scow at Sand Bar Ferry,
many persons thought it a compara
tively novel enterprise. But inquiry
led to the fact that it had been in suc
cessful operation on the river Po for
700 years, and, not to go too far back
into the past, that Julius Gesar had
hit upon the same device when cross
ing the Rhine with his legions. It was
a long time getting down to South Car
olina and Georgia. Had it been anew
style of dress, anew method of friz
zling a woman's hair, anew cut for a
dandy’s pantaloons, our people would
have had it twenty-four hours after it
had appeared in New York, and a fort
night subsequent to its apparition in
Paris.
Aged.—Jacques de Lakis, now iu Paris,
claims that he was born in 1620, and
that he is consequently 225 years old.
All the people do not believe him, how
ever. For a five dollar bill, put where
it would do most good, Jacques could
easily find a nurse who was present at
his birth. There are plenty of negro
women who nursed George Washing
ton. Perish the thought that the nurse
of de Lakis is no more !
Then and NOW.—Mrs. Lincoln, dur
ing the war, ref used to see a sister of
hers who was on the Confederate side,
aaylug, “I wuula nui ict
.... —country cross my
threshold.” That sister, if alive, would
probably be welcomed by the poor wo
man who has gone from the White
House to an Insane Asylum.
Keeley Motor.— The Chicago Times
‘‘puts the beer” on Keeley thus : “It
should not be a matter of doubt what
substance Keeley, the motor man, finds
powerful enough to support the awful
force which his great invention gener
ates. Mr. Keeley’s cheek, we should
guess, is strong enough to support a
pressure of at least six hundred thous
and pounds to the sqnre inch.”
It will be seen by an advertisement
published this morning that the Board
of Trustees of the University of Geor
gia will elect anew Chancellor and sev
eral Professors at their meeting in
July. Candidates for the positions are
requested to send in their names.
The destruction of life and property
by the overflow of the river Garonne,
in France, was very great. It will be
seen that the grand old Marshal Mac-
Mahon at once repaired to Toulouse as
soon as he heard of the catastrophe, and
that the government promptly voted
relief to the sufferers.
Pools on the Next Presidency.
(Washington Letter to Philadelphia Star.]
Some of the gentlemen in one of the
principal social clubs iu this city have
organized a pool selling meeting on po
litical candidates for once a week until
the Presidential nominations take
place. I was present at the last meet
ing, and it will be seen from the betting
how these people look at the chances
of the many political candidates. For
the Republican Presidential nomina
tions the following names are entered;
Grant, Blaine, Washburne, Wilson’
Bristow, Butler, Jewell, Conkling, Lo
gan, Morton, Fish, Judge Miller, Haw
ley and Gov. Noyes. Fifty-four pools
have been sold up to date with the fol
lowing result:
Seventeen, in which Blaine is selected
as first choice; thirteen, in which Wash
burne is first; ten, in which Bristow
comes to the front,; five, in which Mor
ton leads off; three; where Grant has
the call; the same number in which
Wilson was first, and three in which
Logan is the leader. The others arc all
bunched in the field. It will be seen by
this that Blaine, Washburne and Bris
tow are the favorites, and that there
are still some who believe in a third
term. It is said that Col. Brooks, the
editor of Grant’s organ, holds the three
Grant pools, and is also in many of the
others, with Grant as second or third
choice.
On the Democratic prospects the fol
lowing entries are made : Hendricks,
Judge Davis, Tilden, Thurman, Old
Bill Allen, Bayard, Seymour, Church 1
Governor Gaston, Charles Francis
Adams and Pendleton. Is all the pools
sold, excepting seven, Hendricks was
the choice, with Tilden, Bayard and
Adams competing for second choice.
In the seven pools carried against
Hendricks, Judge Davis was the choice
in two, Tilden in one, Old Bill Allen in
three and Bayard in one.
On the fall elections in Ohio and
Pennsylvania the Democrats were the
favorites, with slight odds on the form
er, and on the latter the betting was
even up.
A bet of SSOO was made that if Noyes
beats Old Bill Allen for Governor in
Ohio next fall he will be the Republi
can candidate for Vice-President, and
the Republicans will carry the presiden
tial election.
