sary to investigate the acta of some
-»• ! prominent personage charged with
' miaconduct. Only the other day,
1 Tn the Georgia legislatuae,:when a
«,'} resolution to investigate a certain
hi ! w transaction wherein it ia charged
thatthe use of a portion of
the Western & Atlantic railroad
was rented at too low a figure to
,thq E. T* Vn. AGa^ aevenal mem-
-mid bars at one* sprang fhm their
seats and oppesed the move .on the
ground that such an action would
reflect upon Messrs. Colquitt
and Gordon, who alone were re
sponsible for the trade. Now,
While we believe that both of these
gentlemen will be able to vindi
cate themselves from any selfish
blame ia the premises, at the same
time, since the. matter has been
* brought to public and official no-
• tice, and it isapparent to every one
that this valuable state franchise
a . was disposed of at too low a fig
ure, it wasthe sacred duty of our
legislators to investigate the trans-
action to the bottom, and then fix
the blame where it belongs. There
lias been entirely too much “white-
washing” of late in our state officers
and private bodies, thus encouraged,
are in turn using the same brush in
dealing with transgressors from
their ranks. While we are
oppo.ied to giving publicity to eve
ry dirty scandal floating in the air,
when they become public property
and imperil the honor and welfare
of a state or corporation, it is the
duty of the public press to expose
them and the parties in authority
to sift the stories to the bottom and
is- mete out condemnation or pun
ishment as the case demauds.
This alone was our motive in call
ing the attention of the vestry of St
Phillips church to their unsatisfac
tory vindication of Dr. Armstrong.
If that eminent divine can “dear
his skirts"—and no one would bn
more gratified than the writer—it is
his duty to do so. And it seems
such an easy matter, too. He can
produce the unfortunate girl for
whom he went in quest to those
'1 disreputable houses, and also give
the name of the Richmond lawyer
who had enticed him astray. This
would be a satisfactory vindication
to the world, an*! we trust and be
lieve that Dr. Armstrong will yet
take the necessary steps to reinstate
him»elf in the confidence of the
public. At no time in the history of
the Christian religion has it been so
assailed as now. Skepticism is even
invading the pulpit and enlisting on
its side some of the ablest debaters
and brightest minds of the land,
What better argument would they
ask to pull down the church than
such action as that taken by the
vestry of St. Phillips ia meeting the
charges against Dr. Armstrong?
We reiterate, that any vindication
short of a full publication of all the
facts to the world, and a refutation
J . of the charges by the accuser, will
not only seriously affect the mission
1 - ot the church in question, but
calculated to check the spread of
religion wherever the stery
' known. The church is the last body
that can afford to cover up or dit
1 . guise transgressions upon the part
of a pastor. They should be open
and truthful in everything, for the
outside world looks to such bodies
for guidance. If any man—be he
public officer or a minister of the
j Gospel—cannot stand the fullest
scrutiny into the life he is expected
*0 live, the sooner the veil is torn
from his face the batter for the in
terests or cause he represents.

This bill provides that upon the
application for prohibition signed
by one-tenth the voters in any
county, the ordinary shall order an
election to determine whether or
not spirituous liquors shall be sold
in that county. . All persons quali
fied to vote for members of th*e gen
eral assembly are qualified to vote
in this election. The tickets shall
be written “for sale,” and “against
sale.” If the result of the election
should be (gainst the sale, the or
dinary shall give notice once a week
for four weeks, and that act shall
take effect as soon as the result is
ascertained, except as to the vested
rights of persons whose annual li
censes have not expired. If the re
sult ot the election should he “for
sale,” no other election shall be held
in that county within less than two
years. When any county goes
“against the sale,” no person shall
sell, or barter, directly or indirectly,
or give away at his place of busi
ness, or furnish at any other public
place, any alcoholic, spirituous or
malt liquors, or any other drinks
which will produce intoxication.
Nothing in the bill is io prevent
the manufacture, tale and use of do
mestic wines or cider, or the sale of
wine for sacramental purposes, pro
vided they are not sold by bat-
rooms, at retail. Licensed drug
gists will not be prevented from
selling or furnishing pure alcohol
for medicinal or scientific purposes
No election can be held in.any
place where the sale of spirituous
liquors is already prohibited eiihtr
by high license, local option, or
other legislation so long as these
laws remain in force.
This is the local option bill which
represents the climax of a long pro
hibition campaign. It is probable
that under its provisions nearly '100
elections will be held in this state
between now and the end of the
year.—Constitution.

A new industry in the southern
forests is the utilization of the nee
dles of the long-leaved pine (Pinus
ptlustris.) The leaves are soaked
in a bath to remove the glazing, and
then “crinkeled” forstuffing cush
ions and other upholstering pur
poses. They are especially valua
ble on shipboard, and other places
where furniture is in danger of be
ing intested with insects. The
turpentine which remains in the
leaves makes a most inhospitable
abode for these annoying visitors.
Noah’s ark is generally believed
to have been the biggest vessel that
ever floated on the water, but a cu

that great as was' the Ark it was
not quite as large as the Great East

are calculated to have been—
length,547 feet; beam 91 feet;
dep:h, 547-10, and 21.762 tons. The
dimensions of the Gieat Eastern
are: length, CSofeet; beam, 83 leet;
depth, 56 feet, and 28,093 ton *-
There is one diflertnee between
these two immense vessels—the
Ark, we are told, saved from de

Great Eastern has ruined financially
neatly all who has owned it—at
least three companies' having failed
to make it profitable.
