[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.

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 tion, is the only proper or efficient 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.

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--”— principles; and;t is not too m Mi wilj focl from patriotic and Hot from selfish ^ motives.

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.

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, An’doesn’t know where to flad o'm.
