‘Gov. McDaniel will doubtless do
his duty and order an investigation
into the charges against John W.
Nelms. Editor Johnson didn’t
leave a greasy spot of the great bull
dozer.
The outlook for ^democratic suc
cess has brightened up considerably
of late, while the republican party
seems on the down-grade. A tar-
itf-for-revcnuc-only platform will
win the day.
We received a letter yesterday
Irom Col. R. C. Humber, authoriz
ing the announcement to be made
that he will be a candidate for
State Treasurer at the approaching
democratic convention.
There seems to be a lull at pres
ent in the temperance boom in
Georgia.. It is only a question of
time when prohibition will prevail
from the mountains to the seaboard,
and in ten years congress will pass
a law regulating the trade.
It is now predicted that the whis
ky men of the West will go almost
solidly against the republicans,
which will carry several doubtful
western states for the democrats.
They are enraged because an ex
tension was not granted them.
The penitentiary system of Geor
gia needs a thorough overhauling,
and we trust that our next legisla
ture will take the matter in hand.
Capt. Nelms seems to aspire to be
tlie Bismarck of Georgia in his at
tempt to suppress the frecdohi of
the press.
We sec that our esteemed friend
Mr. Arthur Haire, is mentioned in
connection with county treasurer of
Oglethorpe. If the people had the
world to select from they could not
find a better or more honest man.
We would like to see him Treas
urer of the United States, for then
we could know that the last nickel
would be accounted for.

The statement is now made, upon
what is said to be unquestionable
authority, that under no circum
stances will Mr. Tilden accept the
nomination or undertake the can
vass. If it is necessary, a letter
lrom him to this effect will be pre
sented to the New York democratic
state convention when it assembles,
effectually and finally settling the
matter. If this be true, we must
say that Mr. Tilden has acted in bad
faith to his party by not taking this
decided step long ago.
“Luke Smith says that the democ
racy of Clarke county placed ne
groes on the jury and a negro in the
post-office. What does the Banner-
Watchman say to this?”—Walton
News.
If Mr. Luke Smith considers
Emory Speer and Chester A. Ar
thur “the democracy of Clarke
county,” he is overwhelmingly cor
rect. The appointment of a negro
postmaster in Athens was apolitical
move made by the late lamented
Independent party to consolidate
the colored vote; Happily, how
ever, “My Dear Matt” was. the
stick used to cane our Emory from
the district.
We never saw so little political
excitement in Athens. This is just
as it should be, and any man who
endeavors to raise an issue should
be severely “sat down upon.”
The editor of the Elberton New
South has nothing to say against
Judge Pottle’s ability, but that His
Honor is very unpopular he will not
deny. We should blush to murmur.
From the present outlook, we are
inclined to the opinion that both
Blaine and Arthur will be counted
out and a dark republican horse put
upon the track. Things are badly
mixed in the radical camp, and
their bright hopes .of a few weeks
ago are waning.
It is now said that Dr. Felton has
an eye on the Gubernatorial chair
of Georgia. The old Doctor is the
deadest duck in the independent
mud-puddle, and the sooner he re
alizes the fact the better for his
peace of mind.
Cincinnati cannot be accused of
having absolutely the worst juries
in the country, after all. Frank
James, the bandit, goes from one
trial to another, only to be acquitted
The best way to settle this mur
derer’s case is for some vigilant
committee to take him in hand.
Mahone once proclaimed himself
a better democrat than Ben Hill,
but he was then smarting under
Hill’s castigation. Mahone now de
clares himself a better republican
than Blaine and is pulling for Ar
thur’s nomination for President.
We believe “Our Emory” made a
similar declaration during the late
campaign in the 9th district
Four thousand Arabs at Port
Said, says the cable, were rendered

CIVIL RIGHTS INCIDENT ON THE
AIR-LINE.
Jlaam Telegraph,
Atlanta, April 30.—Mr. Walter
R. Brown,of this city,relates an inci
dent which reflects no credit.on the
Richmond and Danville railroad,
and is of some interest to the public,
and especially to ladies who have
occasion to travel over that road.
At the depot in Atlanta, on Sat
urday, four negroes, three men and
one woman, decidedly African,
seated themselves in the ladies’
coach of the regular Air-Line pas
senger train, although there was a
forward car set apart for people of
that color. Of this the'conductor
was notified before the train left the
depot, and he promised to move
them to their own car. After the
train started his attention was again
called to the matter, and he ap
proached the darkies and in gentle
tones asked them if they would not
go into the forward car. They would
not. They remained in the coach,
made free of its privileges and con
veniences to the exclusion in some
instances of other passengers, and
to the annoyance and disgust of all.
There were a number of ladies and
? ;entlemen in the car, some of- them
rom other states, and the negroes
were so objectionable in their gen-
eral appearance, in the manner in
which they deported themselves,
and in the air of insolence they as
sumed, that there was a general pro
test made to the conductor, who
said that he could do nothing fur
ther, and refused to remove them
into their own caT. As a conse
quence several passengers left the
car in disgust. The conductor caipe
through the cflr taking up tickets.
He punched the tickets of the ne
groes without a word. When he
came to Mr. Brown that gentleman
produced a ticket entitling him to a
first class fare, and ‘informed the
conductor that he would surrender
the ticket when the road complied
with its contract to giv? him first
class fare—either put him Into a car
where there weYe no negroes, ol re
move the negroes from the ladies’
coach. Other passengers very
heartily approved this stand taken
by Mr. Brown, and expressed a re
gret that they had given up their
tickets. The conductor replied that
he would give the gentleman to the
next station, when he rtiust eitfier
thd
him'.
oupg this time the negroes lobked

the common herd because a remote
ancestor was guilty of some heroic
or distinguished act, is sheer moon
shine. Let England have ' her ho-
bility and' entailed greatness, but in
America, the land of the free, it lies
within the powerof every citizen to
be a nobleman in his oWn right. If
there is anything we do detest it is
shoddy aristocracy, in which insti
tution we seem to have a corner.
You will find them In- nearly every
city and town. By tramping over
the country with ;a pack on his
back, or some lufcky streak of spec
ulation, plain John Smith acquires a
fortune. He is thus enabled to give
his children far better advantages
than their parents could enjoy, and
they arc consequently passed
through the crucible of refinement
and turned loose upon the country
and labelled “blue blood.” We
have no objection to thus refining
the human race, but when these
same descendants from the lucky
peddler, or blacksmith, or specula
tor, set themselves up as aristocra
cy, and begin to frown down upon
people who two generations ago
would not have received them in
their parlors, then we say let us cry
a halt and wipe out the name “aris
tocracy” from the American vocab
ulary. This shoddy aristocracy de
ceive ho one but themselves. Their
neighbors know just how their an
cestors began life, and all the lip
worship they receive is that hom
age that all men delight to pay
to the Almighty dollar. Now we
believe there is as much in the blood
of men as there is in the pedigree of
horses, and you can’t make a thor
oughbred of a scrub, it matters not
how heavily you load his pockets
with the jingling gold. He may
try to disguise it, but the old stock
will occasionally pop out until the
blood is purified by intermarriage
with inborn refinement. We be
lieve that some people are thieves
at birth, and it is handed down
from generation to generation. Wc
know to-day a so-called aristocratic
and respectable family in a distant
state that will steal when a good op
portunity is afforded. It is inherent
with their nature, and cannot
be resisted. The same way
With liars and other per
sonal characteristics. But speak
ing of American aristocracy, we
have very little, if any, of the simon-
pure article on this continent.
These characters expect to make
capital of their family name, and
find such securities far below par
in our country.. We may have a few
descendants from degenerate sons
of European nobility, who made
our land a sort of Botany Bay
when it got too hot for them at
home, biit by an investigation into
their -past life the offspring will
find nothing to be particularly vain
of. The truth is, the wheel of for
tune is constantly revolving in
America, and first one family and
then another is thrown on top. The
ins are labelled “shoddy,” and the
outs “broken-down aristocracy.”
For a generation or two the former
undergo polishing . touches, while
the latter, after a vain struggle to
keep up appearances, eventually
degenerate into “poor trash.” But
perhaps at the next revolution the
tables arc again turned, and the
bottom rail is returned to its place.
Hence, we say,'it is not advisable
for any American family to invest
in this blue blood bloom, for if some
inquisitive antiquarian should
chance to raniack the past, who
knows but what he may run up on
a cross-beam and a dangling rope
or bump his head against the walls
of some penitentiary? Just because
you are blessed with a richer store
of woi Idly goods than your poverty-
stricken neighbor, this is no reason
that you should tilt your head in the
air while passing him. First care
fully examine that inheritance and
see how many dirty shillings there
are among it. See if some of it
don’t represent the proceeds of the
sale of a paper of pins or a drink of
mean Whisky? Let us stop this cry
of “blue blood,” that is now started
in Geoigia, and fall back upon the
good old American plan of honoring
a man as his ability and deportment
merits, whether he be the son of an
honest blacksmith or a Governor or
Congressman. A fine coat does
not always cover an honest heart,
or a soft hand betoken an unbroken
lineage from toil. Let we Amer
ican people cultivate the good that
is within us, and endeavor to eradi
cate the bad.'' The best coat of
