D.W. McGregor THE BOOK-STORE. DR- LANE’S SERMON. The editorial stall' of Tiie Banner thauk Dr. Lane for his interest in their spiritual welfare, for we know him to be a good and sincere Chris tian. and feel that a petition from his Ups will find an answering echo in heaven. We shall certainly en« dear or to publish such a paper as Dr. Lane requests, and will be truly rateful to him or any of his people to point out any error we may make. It has been our experience that it is much more difficult matter to know what to keep out of a paper, than what to insert. We have always en deavored to throw our influence on the side of peace, morality and good government. Many good people la* bor under a wrong impression about what are termed Sunday’ papers. The work on such journals is done on Saturday ; but it is the Monday morning papers that require editors and printers to desecrate the holy Sabbath. For this reason we prefer to issue The Banner on Sunday morning, as the only Sunday work then attached to it is the delivery by carriers. We are particular not to insert any article in our Sunday edi lion that will detract the thoughts if the reader from the holy duties of the day. In this day and generation, the public demand Sunday papers, and in order to make a support we must supply tbeir desires. If we did not lo so, some oue else would take our place. The only way to prevent Sunday newspaper reading, is for he churches to take the matter in hand and educate the people up to the standard asked by Dr. Lane. This is the work of the pulpit—not the secular press. Any Sunday, on THE ERECTION OF MONUMENTS IN THE SOUTH. No one is more heartily in favor of honoriug and perpetuating the mem ory of our departed heroes and states men than The Banner editor ; but we have ever been opposed to the ex penditure of the millions of money in erecting costly monuments and statues over the Soutn, tocommein*- orate the names and deeds of our Confederate dead, while the wives of these very old veterans are ■toiling their lives away to keep the wolf from their doors ; their children growing up in ignorauce, and man}’ of their old comrades-i unarms suf fering for medical attention or art the inmates of poor houses. The first duty of a grateful people should be to care for the living, for our dead heroes have a more enduring monu ment—-formed of devotion, love and gratitude, and erected in the hearts of their countrymen—than can be ever carved of marble or moulded of brass. Do you not suppose that if it was possible for one of these old veterans who fills an unmarked grave in the valley of Virginia, or any of the other battler-fields of the Con federacy—to come back to life and express his wish, that be would say to his people : “ Take the money re quired to carve my name upon that imposing shaft you are erecting in your city, and buy with it bread for my dependent widow and little ones! Let my bones rest where they are, or even sell them to fertilize a hill of corn, that the boy I left at home may receive an education aud take a lead ing part in the government of his country ! ' I have given my life to the cause of the South—my memory I know is enshrined in the hearts of THE BANNER OF THE LOST CAUSE. It appears that a Gonfed°rate flag was thrown ov.r the coffin of Jefferson Davis, and that it was one of the two or three emblems of the »ost cause displayed at the occasion of the fu neral, while the stars and stripes were every where conspicuous. It is to be hoped that the Confederate flag was buried with Mr. Da vis, and that hereafter it will cease to be dis played in the- South. We take the above paragraph from the Boston Daily Advertiser. We the dismissal by Dr. Lane of his \ my kindred and countrymen—my congregation, you will see many of his most sincere and best members rush to the post office to get their papers, and begin to devour the con tents even before they leave the building. The Sunday Banner is inly a drop in the ocean, and its suspension would be missed but slightly. But the people demand its publication, and until the pulpit educates them difiereutly,either The Banner or some other Sunday paper must supply their wants. We will be glad to assist ‘Dr. Lane in any good work he may undertake. CURE Sick Headache and relieve all the troubles incl - dent to a bilious state of the system, such as Dizziness, Nausea.

CASTES EEI1CINE CO., He* York. UM Ulon, U fries, GRADY’S GREAT SPEECH- We believe that the Boston speech of Henry W. Grady, on the race problem in the South, will do more to allay prejudice at the North, and defeat the iniquitous legislation re commended by the republican Presi dent in his message, and so greedily taken up by his friends in Congress, than all the efforts and discussions that can possibly be made. It was a combined argument and appeal in behalf of the South and the South ern people, that is sure to reach ev ery honest and thinking heart. Mr. Grady has done great work for Geor gia and Georgians, but bis magnifi cent effort in Boston was of a more tar-reaching character ; and while so nobly, eloquently and patriotically vindicating his people from the slan ders of their enemies, he at> the same time, by the most gentle touehjlifted the scales of prejudice from the eyes of the fair minded republicans of the North, and caused them to look UDon his people and his country with clear and impassioned vision. Although in the cradle of abolition—and sur rounded by men who have been rear ed to look upon the South and her institutions with distrust—like a pillar of flame did this gallant and brilliant young Georgian stand be tween the South and her traducers, and not only vindicated his people* and their institutions, but tore the veil of hypocrisy from the facei of those who sought to crush aud op.- press them, by appeals to passion and prejudice.

Southern courts of justice alone,and j of Southern courts Un \ J ' r ftaja the our people of lakin „ A proposition is now made to take the Pan-American delegates on a tour through the South. The present con gress seems to bj managed on the prin ciple of pleasure[before business. The Northern statesmen seem partic ularly anxious for annexation to .Cana da.* The North'already gives the South enough cold shoulder,"^without adding to its frigidity. Our government,has at last sent to foreign waters fchree^vessels that are not in danger of being sunk by collision with a Chinese junk. soul has gone to that bar before which all men must be judged—it matters not what becomes of my in animate clay !” Costly monuments, while prompt ed by the puiest aud most patriotic motives, tend more to gratify the vain-glorious pride of the living than to benefit the dead. It is all right and proper that they should be erect ed, if our people could incur the expense, after generously providing for the !i”ing. But this is not the case with the South. Through mistaken sense of duty and patriot ism, bread has been taken from th very mouths of the families of dead soldiers—their children permitted to grow up in ignorance—living and and maimed veterans allowed to suffer, that these mute evidences ot valor might be built. To our mind it would have been far better that every dollar expended in a Confed erate monument in the South since the war had been distributed among the dependent families ofthegallan men that these imposing shafts are intended to commemorate. An occasional loaf and needfub clothing given to the poor widows ot our Confederate soldier would be a more fitting and appreciated tribute to the memory of our heroic dead than all the monuments the sculptor can^arve ; a soldier’s home in each Southern State, where our maimed and enfeebled Confedeiate ueleran3 can spend their declining days in ease and com fort,is a grander iituslra tion of devotion to the Lost Cause— and would be more gratifying to our beloved old chieftain could he look back—than mountains of marbie and bronze, carved in honor of Jef ferson Davis. Henry W. Grady has accomplished with his gifted pen more for the he roes of the Confederacy, than every shaft erected since Gen. Lee’s surf- render. «"While we have long neglected to properly provide for the families of our dead and living soldiers, there is yet much to do. From this day on ward let us look more to the comfort of the living, than to the memory of the fallen. So Jong as a drop of true Southern blood flows in the veins of our people, the soldiers of the Lost Cause will never be forgotten. This generation will have all it can do to care for the veterans and families of veterans still among us. and make as easy and pleasant as possible, their path to the grave. Leave the erection of monuments td our chils dren and grand-children. Surely we need not fear to trust to them the noble task of perpetuating the deeds and memory of their forefathers The ^people of this generation need Daiiy would ask our Boston cotemporary what move fitting winding-sheet could be found for the great Confed- rale chieftain than the banner he so gallantly upheld for four long years, and in the face of such fearful odds ? The stars and bars, too,were ex-President Davis’ only flag, for his enemies refused him citizen ship under his country’s banner,that he so proudly upheld on the plains of Mexico aud in bloody Indian wars. Would the Advertiser have Mr. Davis’ coffin enshrouded in the bunner of a country that disowned him ? Such an act would be an in sult to ihe honored dead—an insult to his manhood and his independ ence—an insult to the brave men now’ sleeping in unmarked graves, and who so freely gave their life blood to maintain the flag under which their old leader sleeps his last sleep. JeffVrson Davis was the only Con federate left in our Union of States for he is the one man to whom vindic tive partisans refused to extend the hand of a in nest}’. Let the stars aud bars of the Southern Confederacy be his winding sheet, and a prouder or more spotless one never enshrouded the body of a dead warrior. En closed in that old flag was the devoted love of millions of true aud loyal Southern men and women—en twined in its foids was the most sa cred memories of a conquered nation. One Confederate flag was buried with Mr. Davis, but there are yet in the keeping of brave soldiers and their childten many others, that will be tenderly guarded so long as a shred remains. The cause of the South was surrendered at Appomat tox, but the emblem of the con quered nation will be as sacredly preserved as the last resting place of of our loved ones. For the South to repudiate the banner under which her chivalrous sons so gallantly marched forth, and did battle for so many long and bloody years, should bring upon her the contempt of all brave men. Our people had as vveli cease to display their love and gratitude for our fallen heroes, as to repudiate their flag. No disloyalty i3 meant in a dis play of the stars and bars of the Confederacy. When that flag was turn their attention to sweeping out their own Augean stables. The ver dict of the jury in the Cronin case is, ‘Coughlin, Burke aDd O’Sullivan’ life imprisonment; Beggs acquitted; Kunze, three years imprisonment.” Was there ever a greater parody ou justice ? If the prisoners were guil ty, the last one should have been hanged—if innocent, acquitted. There was no ground for any com promise, for it was one of the most deliberate, cold blooded and brutal murders in the annals of crime in America. It is only the truly loyal city of Chicago that can furnish our laud with such barbarous massacres as the Haymarket riot and the Cronin murder, and then select jurors whose verdicts can be bought with the gold of the crimiuals. No such crimes as these are ever heard of in the “barbarous South U J ; v no such verdict as that rendered in the Cronin case are known South of Masou and Dixon’s line. And yet, the Chicago papers are ihe ones that heaped the greatest abuse on Mr. Davis when lying ou his death bed—are always the most blatant when there is any strife between the races in the South. Talk about the old Ivu Klux Klan! Way it could not hold a torch to the Clnn-na-Gael conspirators. One was organized to protect the women and children aud homes from the depredations of brutal blacks, who were incited by the camp-followers of the Federal army togoard our peo ple to desperation, and thus furnish campaign material for the republican party. TheKu Klux existed when the country was in a state of tor* moil, following the termination of a bloody civil war, when the brutal ex periment of placing black heels on white necks was made. The other was an organized band of conspira tors, with headquarters in a city that holds itself up as an example of law and order for the South. In times of peace they met, planned and ex ecuted a deliberate and cold-blooded murder, to gratify malice, conceal their villainy, and' further selfish ends. And yet, when the murderers were arrested,and the strougestchaiu of evidence riveted around them, they were (permitted to escape the consequences of their crime through a bought and perjured juror—and that juror, too, one of Cook county’s model,Christian citizens. We trust t.iat the Chicago papers will now go to work and lift the beam from the eye of their own city, be fore seeking for motes in the optic orb of the South. tals are loud in tUeir chiS!* bery against one oftheo,.

A display of the Confederate flag dots not threaten the peace of our common country. It is an emblem ot grief and sorrow to the South. It was light and proper that the flag our common country be display ed conspicuously on this solemn oc casion ; but not around the bier of the dead Southern chieftain. A ban ner that had refused Mr. Davis citi zenship while alivs, was not a fitting winding-sheet for his remains. gressman Carlton has a good work mapped out for Athens: Congressman Carltcn is getting at a point in a unique way.

Ainisl .311 The people of Newberry, S. C., are to be congratulated upon having ’adopt ed tactics which have prevented them from being harassed by pious John Wanamaker.' It appears that the post- master-geueral proposed to appoint a postmaster * who was obnoxious to a South Carolina town, whereupon the indignant people emphatically declared they would no longer trade with John Wanamaker, of Pliiladeldhia, and their trade was.of considerable volume. Tho pious postmaster being a good business man, withdrew the nomination, and the plucky people of Newberry are serene. Here is a hint to other towns how to protect themselves from objectionable postmasters. Col. C. W. Baldwin, of Athens, says he has read Henry Grady’s great Bos ton speech over three times, and it is like the old man’s almonds—“the' more you chaw it the gooder it gets.” A new style of horse-shoe has been patented by two Wisconsin men. The shoe Is infide in sections, with elastic cushions between, and rivets connect ing the sections, making a shoe in which there will be a vertical yielding or spring, avoiding shocks or jar to the horse while traveling over hard pave ments. The Atlanta Sunday Chronicle kindly speaks of The Banner thusly: Col. Larry Gantt is making his Ath ens paper brighter than ever. Col. Gantt is one of the best all ronnd news paper men in Georgia, and he has good material to work upon. There is no more promising town than Athens. Gantt has a heap of friends in Athefas and vicinity who would like to see him in congress. WINE OF CARDUI, a Tonic for Women.
