A FINE SPEECH.
That is a fine speech of Hpn. Pope
Barrow’s, which is published in to.
day’s Banner, and the positions he
takes are strong ones. Ho is right.
The judges of the courts ought to be
pl(ced_ps far as possible above the
reach of popular favor. We have
never liked that prevision iu our con.
stiiuiioD which gives the election of
judges to the legislature. The old
way of appointing by the governor,
was far better. The reasons why
we think so, are well given by Mr.
Barrow in his speech.
There are some who want to have
pie. VVe hope this will never be.
We never went to see those whose
duty it will be to pass judgment on
the lives and property of their fellows,
subject to the favor of those fellows:
To be dependent on the people for
office, is incompatible with that per
fect impartiality and independence
which are inseparable from a free and
upright judiciary. The mail who
looks to the popular vote for bis office,
will be more than hmuan . if he can
retrain from pandering to the power
that makes him what he is. For a
proof of this position, we need only
to refer to the habits aud character of
any one »vho is known as a politician.
Look at a professional politician, and
ask yourself if you would like tc
have your judges do as he does. If
the people elect the judges, the judges
will all be professional politicians.

all, but a small fraction or the Irish
tenantry. We should add that Mr.
Gladstone has neglected to embody
in bis measure the regulations needed
for reducing the preseut heavy expen

which is largely chargeable with the
failure of the previous experiment in
the same direction.

There are some startling reports
from Atlanta. It is said that Gen.
Gordon has received 8700,000 cash
tiouably would have secured to hiiu
the three precious privileges for
which Mr. Butt contended —lair rents
fixed tenure, and freedom of sales.
As much cannot be said of the law
iu its amended form. The rents, iu
deed, w ill still be fixed, either by
agreement or by the arbitration
of the Land Commission, but the
value of a landlord’s interest will
not be promptly or easily deter
mined under the altered phraseology
of the act, and the judgment of the
Commission may be set aside by the
Court of Appeal, which is unlikely to
favor the claims of tenants or coun
tenance doctrines at variance willithe
law of contracts. But it docs not ap
pear that, the rent onee fixed, the
tenant can be subjected to
any serious interference with
the free sale of his tenant

GENERAL DISTRUST.
The public mind is filled with a very
general distrust as to the condition of
the President. Nearly every day the
bulletins are sent out, saying that “he
passed a favorable night, 'and fiat
taken more food than formerly.” And
vet here is the stubborn fact that the
President is much worse off than he
was at first. For a time public confi
dence was strong, and the people bad
buoyant hopes that under the treat
ment of several physicians who are
supposed to be skillful and accom
plished, the distinguished patient
would be snatched from death’s door,
and restored to his people. But hope
disappointed, like hope deferred, has
made the heart sick, and now there
are few who do not regard the case
well as for improvements, he bus
strong guarantees tor fixity of tenure.
Vet the most important, undoubtidly,
of the Three Fa is the fairness of the
rent; and the conditious governing
this fundamental adjustment are, as
we have said, much less definite and
satisfactory than they were in the orig
inal bill.
The clause authorizing the use of
public funds for the reclaiming of
waste land can, if judiciously and vig
orously carried out, be made to ren
der good service to the Irish people,
ft is to be hoped, however,-that under
thiB provision money will not be lent
to landlords on the pretext of assist
ing them to reclaim part of their es
tates, for, as Mr. Charles Russell has
conclusively shown in the case of Lord
Lansdowne, most of the landlords
would contrive to make a profit out of
their hard-working tenantry from the
sums thus advanced. As to that lea'
ture of the bill which contemplates
*State aid to emigration, if is vehe
mently denounced by the representa
tives of tlie Irish people, aud has
found tew advocates in any quarter.
On the whole, this plan of. reform,
which has cost the British'Legislature
seven mouths stf harassing toil, and
has involved a revolution in the forms
of parliamentary procedure, does not
promise to meet the main end for
which it was devised, viz., to satisfy
the bulk of the Irish tenantry. But
it esn hardly fail to leave the tenant-
farmer in Leinster, Connaught, and
Munster, if not in UIsterTUetler off
than it found him. Now let the Bri
tish Government suspend the execu-
the constitution ‘sii as to have judges
of the Superior, court appointed bv the
governor
Mr. Barrow, of Clarke, said fbSt if
Mlheeleu liever did one thing but
oflbr this bill, whether it pass or not,
he would.mflpt the p’audit ‘well done,
good and faiihlul servant.’ The cry-
ing evi!«'orf the present ' system def-
uiand speedy remedy. < In the first
place, the present system, is exiiOn?

iysteni degrades the high office 1 ‘of
Men oom» haiitaAd 'msA.fhS
i,’ and are compelled to' owe fa
vors to men before they sit where one
breath of predjudice or one touch of
passion should never come. We have
seen meu of high character, of state
can and of national reputation, laid aside
because they did not come here aud
drag the ermine in the mire of ooliti-
cal maneuvering. Over them have
been elevated men who were not bet
ter judges of the law, but better poli
ticians. The. present system endan
gers men good and bad. Good men
will have the liveliest 3tmse of grati
tude. Bad men will lie readiest tt>
gratify prejudice. If I could fix for-
ever the judiciary system of this state
I would make the judges appointed
for life above all change ot politics or
personal favoritism, and removable
only lor abuse or failure to perform
their duty. The federal judiciary
system is u monument to the founders
of this government. The most august
tribunal on this earth is the supreme
court ot the United States. It is said
that this bill puts too much power
into the bands of one man. The
founders of this government fixed
bulwarks against the one man power,
tint they never dreamed of danger
from the people; of the tyranny otone
part of a tree people over another part
of a ■ free people. Tb< re is
a danger in the rear and we need bul
warks there. There are now clouds
smaller than a man’s hand which may
bring storm and terror, and I would
raise above their reach the judiciary
of Georgia. There are thunders
which the attentive ear may catch,
already telling of the danger that may
come before you know it. You will
ask the law for protection and it will
say, ‘I belong to the people aud when
the people are wrong I am wrong.’
These are not new views. I had the
honor to sit in the convention of 1877,
and I tried then to fix in the constitu
tion ot the state the principle that the
judges of this stale should hold office
tor life. And as I know myself as God
is my judge, 1 would suffer this right
arm taken oil at my shoulder if that
were the law ol Georgia to-day. They ceuce -
tell us that there are depths in the
ocean where there is perfect rest and
the waves never sweep or make the
slightest motion. I have heard phi
losophers say that there are heights
where there is perfect rest, where an
atom might float forever in perfect
rest. I would fix the foundations of
the judiciary so deep that passion
could never stir them, and I would
raise its head so high that it would
reach the eternal calm. [Applause.]
Look at the difference given to a de
cision of a judge of the circuit court
or the supreme court of the United
States. 1b the other branch of this
legislature a decision of a circuit court

A KISSING SPRING.

We are credibly informed, that fif

greatest and most tnjrnculous springs
has recently be)Bn discovered on rec
ord. We have not been to see 1 them,

a Baptist preacher of celebrity tells
Us what he saw.,: Parson. John R.

that it flows from a mountain tfbout

top of the mountain on ;,tbe north

lons per minute, and it is .the color of
apple cider and tastes just like apple
brandy, and has the same effect. Those
under the influence ot the water are
perfectly ecstatic, aud hugging and
loving every thing they meet. He
says: “I never saw tbe like; children
and boys and girls hugging and kiss
ing every one they meet. Old men
aud old women, youug men and
young ladies, embracing each other
by hugging aud kissing. I met an
old white-haired man and woman—I
suppose about 80 years old—and they
were hopping and skipping like lambs.
I saw hundreds lying around the
spring so drunk that they could not
stand up, and they were lying and
laughing and trying to Blap their
bands. The people call them the
‘Millennium Springs.’ ”
A SHIP’S LOU.
The speed of vessels is approximate
ly determined by tbe use of the log
and logline. The log is a triangular
or quadrangular piece of wood about
a quarter of an inch thick, so balanced
by a plate of lead as to swin perpen
dicularly in the water, with about
two-thirds ol it under the water.
The log line is a small cord, one
end of which, dividing into three, so
that the wood hangs from the cord as
a scale-pan from a balance-beam, is
fastened to the log, while the other is
wound round a teel in the ship.
Tbe log, thus poised, keeps its
place in the water, while tbe line is
unwound from the reel as the ship
moves through the water, and the
length of line unwound in a given
time pives the rate of the ships-sailing
This is calculated by knots made on
the line at certain distances, while
time is measured by a sand-glass of a
certain number of seconds. The
length between the knots is so pro
portioned to the time of the glass that
the knots unwound while the glass
runs down shows the uttmber of miles
the ship is sailing per hour. The first
knot iS' jflUe&T-fiWlflr ffve fathoms from
the log, to allow the latter to get clear
of the ship before the reckoning com
mences. This is called the stray-line.

whose gray hairs betoken an advanced

was at least 60 years old and has chil

“Koumiss.”
Oorrcapordenoe Food and Haaltli.
Into one quart ol new milk put one
gill of buttermilk and three or four
lumps of wnile sugar. Mix we'l and
see that the sugar dissolves. Put in
a warm place to stand ten hours, when
it will be thick. Pour from one ves
sel to another until it becomes-smooth
and uniform in consistency. Bott'e
and keep iu a warm place twenty-
four hours, it may take thirty-eix in
winter. The bottles mast be tightly
corked and the corks tied down.
Shake well tor five minutes before
opening. It makes a very agreealle
drink, which is especially recommens
tied for persons who do not assimilate
their food, and for young children
may be drunk as freely as milk. In
stead of buttermilk, some use a tea-
spoonful of yeast. Made-front mare’s
milk, it is the standard beverage o
the Tartars,who almost live upon it in
summer, aud is also used largely by
the Russians.
Caution.—The richer your milk,
which should he dnskiramed, the bet

London;-Aug 22,—The Times says
the Ecumenical Methodist Conlereuce,
which is to meet in this city next
week, promises to be one ot the most
interesting and important religious
gatherings held since the days of the
Wesleys. The various denominations
of Methodism number over four mil
lion actual communicants, and the
Methodist population is computed at
eigbieen millions. The members of
the Conference number four hundred,
half of whom represent British and
Continental Methodism and half the
churches in the United States and
Canada. Tho conference is composed
of lay and clerical delegates in equal
proportion. Its main object will be to
devise means for prosecuting home
and foreign work so as to result in the
grea’est economy and efficiency, to in
crease the moral and evangelical pow
er of common Methodism, and to se
cure the more speedy conversion of
the world.
