The New Htylc Organ.
[From the Christian Index, July 11, 1878.J
Hilherlo there has been an un
satisfied demand for a Parlor Organ
which should combine power, sweet
ness and variety of tone with a per
fect action, enclosed in a rich and
ornamental case, which could be sold
at. a very moderate price. After
spending large sums of money in
experimenting, J. E*tey & Co. have
at last succeeded in manufacturing
an organ which covers the whole
ground The action, by an ingenious
and yet perfectly simple mechanism,
has been rendered independent, and
cannot be affected, like others, by
changes in the weather. A new and
surprisingly beautiful design of ease
his be cn fashioned, and many o.her
improvements been made, and we are
informed by G. P. Guilford, Esiey’s
Managing Agent for the South, that
in his experience ot twenty-nine
years, lie has never seen such a
universal favorite as this organ seems
to be. He has sent it out on trial to
be tested with other organs, and that
not one has ever been returned;
neither lias he failed to sell it to auv
customer who has ever seen it.
Having done away with all local
hgencitjSj,, Estey has determined to
sell through Mr. Guilford directly to
customers; thus giving them the
hMbefit ontB8wwSiM(i<i mis-

And ponder if thy spirit keeps

And when thy dark eye ceased to shine,
Thy kind-toned voice lo speak,
And when thy gentle hand uo more
, Could pat me on the cheek,
No eye there was to watch o’er me.
No voice to whisper mild,
No hand to lead, no heart to cheer,
A weary little child.

am equally unable to see ltotv any
man can promote the success of a par
ty by fighting its organization. If,
through tbe :>rts of designing men, as
is often the case, evils spring up in the
organization, then the purification of
the organization, and not its destruc

remedy. I have therefore always ta
ken, and shall always taka my place
in the party and with .the organiza
tion. Independence in the formation
and expression of opinions is the duly
of all, and especially of public men
and leaders. No man has asserted
this independence more f: ::r!essly or
more frequently than myse f. But it
has never occurred Lo me that I
could promote my opinions by fight
ing my party. On the contrary, I
have always thought that the best
way to promote the success of cor
rect opinions is to' do all I can to
bring the party to them. In this a
man may sometimes suffer temporary
personal injury or even wrong, but in
the end he will he vindicated.
•We hear much oi “ ring men” and

MR. HILL’S REPLY.
Atlaxta, Ga., October 9tlt, 1875.
Gentlemen :—I hav«j received
yonr letter urging tn£ ^ .to make a
speech at Carnesville on an early day,
in “ behalf of the organized Democ
racy’’ of the Sth Congressional Dis
trict.
I am receiving many letters from
different counties in the district, ask
ing like service from me. I will,
therefore, hand this letter to the
Press, so tint it will become an an
swer to all.
I admit the claim which nearly all
these letters nuke upon me, to-wit :
that 1 htrve “ no right’’ to refuse this
appeal from tbe Democracy of the 9th
District. Andua^iiow,'ttat' I will
precisely the same, and differ only in
the means they e nploy Both are
the children oi that mammoth pro
lific parent ufj many evils and ever
grovting eorrnptions—self-seeking.
The only rent remedy for both these
evils is that which was so familiar to
our lathers, and which is so unfamil
iar to tts: that high Congressional,
Judicial and Executive positions nro
places of service and responsibility,
and must be “neither sought nor
declined.”
A trus Democrat is he who is will
ing to sacrifice his personal ends and
ambition for the suecess of his party,
and which success he believes is the
good of the country. He neither
wires, nor bogs, nor pushes himseli
iuto the' high scats of responsibility
He sticks to his party, and waits to
be called higher. He regards the
office- :ts places of service, and not as
oce e ions of pleasure or profit, or for
th ■ gratification of personal vanity.
In a word, he reither seeks these high
offices nor declines them, if he is in
condition to discharge their duties.
In the second place, let us apply
these general views, which all must
agree are correct, to the political sit
uation in your Congressional District.
Joel A. Billups is the regular nomi
nee of the Democratic party. I
know he neither sought nor expected
the nomination. All contending
wings of the organization most honor
ably agreed to bury their differences
for the common peace and good of
the party, and selected him as the
Representa|iyo. and symbol of their
noble and patriotic sacrifices. He is
a good matt. I have known klin in
timately for thirty-six years. I do
not know a better man, nor one more
worthy of congressional honors. He
uever sought to use his party nor to
fight it. He was never a dema
gogue, and is incapable of being one*
He is an upright gentleman, a true
Democrat and an able debater. He
would nor sacrifice either his convic.
man as it is possible for one to be.
It the issue were between a “ ring
man” and an independent, I should
not take sides nor write this letter.
If Mr. Speer were indeed my own
son I would vote against him, and
trust to time to convince him tha^ I
had rendered even him, as well as
the party, a good service.
One general remark, and 1
done.
The Democratic party is the party
of the future. It will govern this
country for the good of the country.
In this party the young men of the
South must expect to develop their
usefulness and achieve their fame. It
will be a fatal mistake for any one of
them to place himself, or allow others
to place him, in a position of even ap
parent antagonism to that party, and
especially in a position in which he
could either desire or expect the help
of the common enemy.
I do not doubt (not meaning Inde
pendents now) there are some among
us, leas’ suspected by our people, who
are anxiously looking and adroitly
working for certain combinations in
1880. I warn them now they will
fail. I do not know a prominent Re
publican at the North who is willing
to make a single concession to the
South, ou the Presidential ticket or
otherwise, except on condition of af
filiation with the Republican party.
The Southern man who, under any
pretext, shall be willing to affiliate
with the parly which disfranchised
aro tbo intelligence, virtue and property
ot the South, and placed them all un
der the dominion of ignorance and
villainy; which used the army to pro
tect their villains while they were
robbing ns; which is now using the
patronage of the government to re
ward the guilty anthers of a Presi
dential larceny, and which is making
sovereign States but houses of refuge
for the escaping criminals of their
.XWH
teaches ns .to.look at political matters
in the sight of God. The mOsf?pesti
lential ofall heresies is that which
supposes that religidh is a separate
and distinct thing, which can be rele
gated to a department of its owh,
and;which has no concern whatever
with the common activities ’of life.
The evil of this is seen and depfored
am in commercial matter^, anel few loud
er protests have eTer been raised than
those in which the secular press in
dulged when men prominent'in the
churches have beer, guilty of serious
defalcations. Nor do we complain
of this. The protest was well taken
The condemnation Was just. Indeed
no language could well be too strong
to describe the enormity of such con
duct ; for was it rot against precisely
such a divorce between religion and
life that the Savior himself pronoun
ced His.most withering maledictions?
But we cannot restrict the applica
tion of this principle to 'business. Re
ligion is a character, and therefore
it must regulate and determine the
whole of the life. Accordingly it will
not do to say that .il has po place in
and no control over politics. The
Christian ought to take an interest in
public affairs, and that interest should
be of a Christian sort. He must not
feel when he is discharging his civil
duties that ue is stepping down for
the moment, to a lower platform,
whereon he r is at liberty to ignore the
JBible and its Lord. But he mustlifl
his political duties up' to the level of
his Christianity, aud aeek.to discharge
them .as in the sight of God ~He
must make liis decision as to which
party he will apt with, and Which
candidate he,will prefer, , oh XJf--”—

false to their own principles, and
have not the courage to carry them ■"
through. They put off acting upon
them till the millennium comes, for
getting that it is only through the
practice of these principles that the’ .
millennium can ever be brought about.
Let our readers therefore in their dif
ferent spheres exert themselves by
every. means to have politics Chris
tianized, and they at least will deliver
their own souls. We advocate here
no party, but we seek the purity of
all parties — Christian al Work.

able seirriue which they may requife
and which it shall be in my power to
perform.
But private and professional en
gagements of a character which I can
neither postpone nor avoid, will.occu
py every d. y of ray time until af.er
the election, and indeed, until De
cember.
I confess, too, that I am not con
vinced that I could accomplish any
real good to the Democratic party by
taking active part in the present cam
paign in Georgia. The issues are
largely of a personal dbarta&tV and be
tween Democrat®, and while I never
shrink from fighting enemies, I al
ways 1 'shrink from taking sid
contest . between -fiteuds. Harmony
must-be restored, or the party will be
mere personal end. He has neither
sought nor declined the office. , He
has patriotically answered the united
call of his party. Being a good man,
and having been fairly—indeed, most
honorably—nominated, 1 do think
it is the imperative duty of every
Democrat iu the District' to give him
a cordial and earnest support. His
nomination is of the kind of nomina
tions I love, and I should regard his
defeat as a public calamity.
Emory Speer is the Independent
candidate. From his boyhtiod he
has been almost as one of my own
household. It pains me to antagons
ize even his' wishes, and I wonld not
do so except from a sense of public
duty,. I do not know a more able
brilliant man of his age in the
I remember when. I was nursing in
a hospital once, there was a poor life
tie boy about six years old dying of
rheumatic fever. I was night nurse
in that ward ; and regularly when the
attack of pain came on he used to
scream ont to me :
“Nursey, sing. It hurts me. Sing
the hurt away.’’
So, then, Fd prop hitn np oa my
sirm and sing one song after another,
from “Twinkle, twinkle little star” to
“Black-eyed Susan,” till the paroks
ysra of pain waA over, and he’d quiet
down again. I always knew when
that was by bis joining his voice in,
too, such a weak pipe ot a voice, poor
lamb! But I was better glad to hear
it than any music, for it telled me the
pain was gone for awhile, an’ I eonld
lay him down to sleep again.
Poor wee mite l I was sihging
“Little Bo-Peep” the night he died
I h d him in my arms. He’d been
sinking all day. I knew he couldn't
last another; an’ though he tried ; to
join in as nsual, his voice went into a
gasp, an’ broke. I’d been sometimes
usftd to call tbe children in the ward
little sheep; an’ when I came to
the en9 of the
LUtla Bo-Paep she lost her sheep,
