The eves of the world are upon Eng
land, but the hearts of the world are
upon Ireland.
Her unworthy sons who use and advo
cate dynamite and assassination as in
strmnents of warfare must not and wil
not detach our affections from the Kmer
aid Isle. What a suggestive fancy i
was, though accurately descriptive
which gave it this name! Its great rain
fall being about forty inches annually,
its equable temperature being about tor
ty-one degrees in winter and sixty in
summer; its numerous bogs which are
incapable of cultivation and its surround
ings of water impart great moisture to
the atmosphere and produce a most luxu
riant vegetation, giving a perpetual green
landscape to the eye of the observer.
Xo country lias ever been so fondly
cherished by its sons and daughters, and
none have ever contributed less to the
political and material welfare of its in
habitants. It seems to be the nursery
from which nearly all the civilized
world lias largely drawn for its best sup
ply of patriots, of soldiers, of scholars,
and laborers-—leaving their birth-land
destitute of these elements of national
strength. Emigration is not only a phys
ical necessity to Ireland, but it seems an
essential for the development of those
qualities of mind and heart, of those in
valuable attributes of manhood and wo
manhood which have so strengthened
the moral, intellectual and material re
sources of other nations.
Providence seems to have created Ire
land simply as a germ-bed for all that is
true in man and pure and noble in wo
man. it is true here and there individ
ual character may, as it has done, mature
advantageously in Ireland, just like indi
vidual plants may occasionally mature
perfectly in the original seed-bed —hut,
as a rule they must be transplanted be
fore they realize the promise of their
sowing.
Ireland has never matured anjthing
perfectly, unless we except generous and
impulsive minds, amiable and alleetion
ate natures, rtntl friendships like their
landscapes—forever green and beautiful.
Great achievements, accomplished by
endurance, continued courage and un
faltering application, nowhere before or
since English domination, characterizes
the inhabitants of the Emerald Isle.
They demand a parliament of their own,
vet history furnishes no Act of ar. Irish
parliament which advanced the happi
ness and welfare of the Irish people.
They demand a repeal of the Union, yet
we believe her true interests lie in the
maintenance of the Union. That incor
poration with the English government
has lessened taxes —given them a mag
nificent, school fund—perfect freedom of
trade, with Great Britain, complete reli
gions equality—equal representation in
the Parliament of the Realm and made
every ofllcial position in the British gov
ernment, except the throne, accessible to
i lishmen.
Maeauly never uttered a more express
ive truth than when lie said, “The Irish
are distinguished by qualities which tend
to make men interesting, rather than
prosperous.” This, of course, only ap
plies to Irishmen upon Irish soil —for it
is to the honor of the race that, when an
Irishman becomes identified with Eng
lish or French soil, and especially w ith
American soil and amalgamates with An
glo-American blood, he not only retains
his interesting characteristics, but be
comes in peace and in war, in council and
in action, the sturdy pillar upon which
the prosperity and hopes of the Ameri
can people are resting.
We fear the conflict between Ireland
ami England is an irrepressible contliet.
It is a war of races—Celt and Saxon. If
is a war of religions—l’apaist and Prot
estant. It is a war of labor and capital—
tenant and landlord. England has con
quered the soil, the armies, the parlia
ments and the people of Ireland, but has
not yet conquered the hearts of Irishmen.
Why? Because Englishmen still own
and control the confiscated lands of Irish
men. (’ampin'll says: “An Irishman
gruitates to the land." One-fourth of
Ireland's population are engaged as farm
ers, grazieis and agricultural laborers. Of
its twenty millions of acres more than
three-fourths are under crops, fallow and
grass. ‘.‘The Irish laborer must stand or
fall by the. land, tor he has only the land
to look to. The Irish farmer is adscript us
yh-'sK■; for the conditions of tenure are
such that his whole property is invested
in a seeuiity which it is always difficult
and impossible for him to realize except
by holding to bis farm.”
It is not rents, land tenures, landlords,
absenteeism, nr anything of this charac
ter that creates the trouble. It’s the land
itself Lite Irish so much desire. An
Irishman said to Trench, “ Why should
w* pay rent at all ? Isn’t the land our
own and wasn’t it our ancestors before
us, until these bloody English came and
to<>k it all away from us? My curse up
on them for it! but we will tear it back
out of their heart’s blood yet . r ’ Trench
said to an Irish woman, “ Poes your
friei and believe it for the good of Ireland j
o waylay and kill a man who has neve I
wronged him?” She replied, “They
think you English have no right to the
land at all, and they hope to gee it all
back again yet, if they can only frighten
you, and such ns you, out of it, and kill 1
any of themselves that takes the land
over the ‘old stock’s’ head.”
This i~ the secret of Ireland’s disaffec
tion. The land they want. The land
they will have, or the antagonism will
last forever. It belonged to their ances
tors. The old Celtic tribes held it by di
vine right—their idle deeds reaching far
behind historical records. But Henry
II parcelled it out among his marauding
followers, authorized to do so by that
hated Englishman. Pope Adrian IV.
James I turned over Ulster to his apos
tles of Protestantism. Cromwell divided
the land of Ireland among his Bare-bone
adherents; and many other rulers of
England apportioned these lands among
warriors and courtiers.
The result is, the “fire of vengeance”
burns unquenched in the hearts of sub
jugated Irishmen. England must prac
tically adopt the ptirposeof Zaccheus,“lf
I have taken anything from any man by
false accusation I restore him four-fold.”
It would pay England to buy the
twenty millions acres of land —outside of
the large cities —which constitute the
area of Ireland, divide it into small lots
and convey a title deed of one lot to ev
ery head of a family in Ireland, at a
nominal price. Then continue the gov
ernment as it now is. England is able to
perform this act of justice, and if done,
she will find the Irishman as loyal to
England’s throne as the Scot, whose na
tional pride was never debased by confis
cation and injustice. W. H. F.
THE ATTACKS ONJEFFERSON DA CIS.
The revival of the issues of the late
civil war is now, and will continue to be,
very unfortunate for Mr. Cleveland. He
is placed in a position where he must
either snub the south, to prevent an out
cry from the Northern press and politi
cians, or he must face the inevitable and
find himself beleaguered by every
bloody-.-hiit fanatic in the country for
four years, from the-Ith of March, prox.
If he turns his back on the South, he is
ungrateful to the people who made him
President. If he rewards Southern men
with offices, especially those who were
prominent before and during the war,
the senseless cry of “treason” will be
heard, morning, noon and night. It is
hard to draw a line as to the limit of for
bearance or the duty of resistance.
Twenty years have taught our people
some prudence, but it appears that twen
ty years more will he needed to keep our
Southern politieans from “adding fuel to
file.” Even while we are sensible that
the opposition is only poking up the me
nagerie for political effect, it seems to be
impossible to treat their taunts with dig
nified silence. If we can reach the no
tice of our public debaters we would
commend the lines of the pious Mr.
Herbert :
“Ise calm in arguing, for fierceness makes
e rror a fault and truth discourtesy.
Why should I foel another man’s mistakes
More than his sickness or his poverty?
In love I should, but anger isnot love,
Nor wisdom either; therefore gently move.”

The appearance of The Cartersvii.ee
Coi rant introduces a distinguished
member into journalism—the wife of Dr.
W. 11. Felton. Mrs. Felton is a lady
whose keen pen has made made many a
man wince in the past, and there is no
doubt but that she will he heard from in
tin' futi re. — Copt. Howell in Atlanta Con
stitution.
The English language presents many
curious words, and foreigners find the
study tedious and difficult. But there is
no trouble with the word “wince.”
When raw llosh is touched by- a foreign
substance, the sufferer is said to wince.
When tiie “galled jade” is rubbed in a
sore place, it is sure to wince. The dread
of a rub, will often cause a wince. If a
guilty politician, who lias used his office
for unrighteous gain is exposed and his
crime set forth—he is said to wince.
Some politicians in Georgia are very
brazen and impudent in their methods,
but their time will come to wince. Let
it be wince. If not polite it is expressive.
William Wirt once said, “lie who is
conscious of secret and dark designs,
which it known would blast him, is per
petually- shrinking and dodging from
public observation, and is afraid of
all around him and much more of all
above him.”
If Mr. Cleveland’s invitation to Dem
ocratic leaders, is accepted by all the
States with the same unanimity that
prevailed among Congressmen, Xew
York City must be reaping a harvest in
way of hotel fares, cigars and cocktails.
•
The hurry that prevailed among the
would-be-statesmen in Washington,
when Mr. Cleveland expressed a wish
to confer with prominent members of the
party, partook largely of the ludicrous
and the ridiculous.
Let us hope they will succeed in teach
ing the GTeveland“idea how to shoot.” It
a little advice would not be resented they
would be '.vise to make the pupil “sign
up articles” before they leave him, or
they may find the teacher rather barren
of results.
As Mr. Cleveland only replies to in
j struction by a “genial smile,” these po
litical pedagogues might have packed
their grip sacks in less of a hurry. Mon
taigne says you can only reach the young
mind through the appetites ami the a flec
tions. A word to the wise is sufficient.
Many thanks to the high-toned editors
of Georgia for kind words ! Our printers
are also much gratified, and we insert
some complimentary notices this week, i
for their -uke especially. We are not so
yain as to -oppose The Couraxt readers
would like to be fed on such diet for a
constancy, but if we should insert every
thing complimentary that everybody said
of us, we should only be follow ing a dis
tinguished example in journalism, which
does not “wince” at the effort. But we
will not crowd our paper with compli
ments hereafter.
SEC I! A TA R }' E VA P. TS.
The entry of Hon. Win. Evarts into \
the United States Senate gives token of
foresight, prudence and policy on the
part of hi- republican constituents. It
means a great deal to them in the way of
strength and success.
Ex President Hayes was not a brilliant
man, and his rapid promotion in politics
will ever he an enigma to those who
know him, but he had the undoubted
faculty for picking out strong men to
manage his administration. When lie
left the Whim House they also retired
with the respect and good will of all non
partizan people in the Union; and the se
lection of Mr. Evarts and Mr. John Sher
man to manage their party interests in
the Senate, speaks volumes for the judg
ment of the Republicans of New York
and Ohio. Let the Democracy consider
the situation carefully before they with
; draw any Senator of ability from that
body to fill any other office, for these
gentlemen are men to he feared as oppo
nents, because of their experience and 1
strength.
Mr. Evarts was greatly assisted as a
Cabinet officer by his numerous family
of daughters, each one of whom added
an Individual charm to their hospitable
entertainments, during the season of
cabinet receptions. The family were too
well bred to assume any of the snobbish
airs that so frequently mar the effect of
such receptions. Their good sense and
kind hearts made their elegant home a
charming place to visit. We see, from
the New York Tribune, the memory of
“Miss Kvart’s delicious chocolate” has
been revived by the father’s election to
the Senate. Memory recalls the beauti
ful lunch table —which was uniformly
spread for callers—-presided over by one
and another of these dutiful and affec
tionate daughters. The far-famed choc
olate was a delicious compound, each
tiny cup of rarest china, crowned with a
spoonful of whipped cream, placed there
on by the hand of Miss Evarts, as the
cup was gracefully tendered. By some
chance we happened to call one after
noon when an engagement precluded the
entertaining of visitors. Such occur
rences were too frequent to be noticed or
resented, but the warm-hearted young
ladies brought a regret from their moth
er, and a charming apology for them
selves —that warmed a acquain
tance into something far stronger and
more lasting. May every blessing attend
the family.

OREDIENOE TO LA \V.
The moral world seems to be out of
joint. Insubordination and revolt against
constituted authorities is the order of the
day. Crime of every description, public
and private, is epidemic throughout the
civilized world. There is hut one rem
edy for these threatening dangers to or
ganized society, and that is a rigid en
forcement of law. Let murderers, dyna
miters, communists and rioters be un
compromisingly punished according to
law. Make the law a terror to the evil
doer, and a protection to him that does
well. Let everything that leads necessa
rily to crime be suppressed. Let the
rights of person and property he rigidly’
maintained, and let the pulpit and the
school room inculcate these fundamental
principles of our civilization.
There is one feature, however, in this
matter that should receive special and
prompt attention. All violators of law,
without exception, must be punished.
One great secret of the restlessness, dis
content and criminal tendencies of the
masses, is the fact that certain classes
can and do violate law w ith impunity.
The man who can command wealth, po
litical or social influence, very often, if
not universally, can he a criminal and go
unwbipt of justice.
Let the criminal plated with gold and
the ragged tramp who violates law he
alike punished. W. 11. F.
ITLE TELEGRAPH AND MESSENGER.
In our opinion this journal stands at
the head ot the column for ability, cour
tesy and honesty. It is a clean paper.
Our children can read it, without the fear
of finding the disgusting recitals that so
often appear in print, and which make
honest, virtuous people shudder and con
demn. For high-toned editorials and
fresh, crisp, journalistic morsels, we
commend you to the able editors of the
Telegraph and Messenger.
Our grand jury has recommended the
passage of a general registration law.
We hope the session of our legislature
which assembles in July will pass such
a measure promptly. Then we shall
have no more illegal voting, no more
contested elections, where the contest Is
solely based upon failures of some voters
to pay their taxes. All questions touch
ing the qualification of voters will be
settled at the time of registration. No
man who desires a clean and honest bal
lot-box can object to a registration law.

ANGORA GOATS.
The live-stock and circus editor ot Puck, who
sometimes give in poetic form the results of his
crave and arduous investigations, has made a
suggestive record of a goat's dessert. Pre-
I sumably the airy animal was of the Angora per
: suasion, which, having browsed the church
steeple, danced along the top-rail of a few miles
of fenee and leaped lightly over a thorn hedge
fifteen feet high. Anally discovered near the sick
farmer’s orchard-wall a white felt hat, "and in
a jiffy swallowed it whole.’’
Then joyfully on his hinder limbs
He assumed a buttful pose,
Then stood in a gentle revere,
Like a bard in a poppied doze,
And wriggled his tail ami blinked his eyes, j
And twisted bis purple nose.
i After Horace Greely reached the zenith
of his editorial fame, he diverted himself
by writing up his experience as a farmer.
When his enthusiasm reached the boiling
point, he waved his old white hat and
cried : “Go West young man, go West.” j
But there is no mention of his experience J
with goat culture. Either he was ignor
ant of the Angora, or he preferred to lx*
quiet about that experience. We incline !
to think he was unknown to the Angora j
boom, hut I’uek, a.-, we see, is better ac
quainted, and so are we.
The head of our family and our farm
ing boss is a great enthusiast on agrieui
ural topics. He always has a hobby,
which lie rides diligently, and which
never declines or subsides until anew
one usurps its place. Our mind runs
back to his experience with sheep, of
which we hope to be able to tell Tiie
Cocraxt at some futu-e time. He had
the Berkshire craze, the colt fever, and
the Angora hallucination very badly, hut
is now recovered from all the above
stated, but we are at fever heat with the
mania for Jersey cattle at the present
writing. Our boss is now enraptured
with Jerseys.
The Angora mania was severe while it
lasted, but the campaign was short and
lively'. With wholesome timidity and
conjugal reverence, we propose to give
our readers some of the leading facts, as
a warning to ignorant young farmers
who may be similarly afflicted —or, to
their wives. A year or twq a&o our
boss informed us he had purchased a
splendid Angora—of the feminine gen
der —and that his mind had long dwelt
on the capabilities of goaf culture for
Southern farmers. “Look at Mr. Pe
ters,” cried he, “and why may I not
make a fortune in the goat business? 1
bought this one cheap” (why so reason
able w’e did not understand) and she’s a
beauty!
We remembered our willingness to
name a very low figure for a certain cow
who defied any fence on the place and
who went over or out of any enclosure
w r e could manufacture whenever it pleas
ed her so to do, and not to anticipate we
found Nannie’s cheapness to be of the
same quality, when we became acquaint
ed with all the facts in regard to her sale
and transfer to us. Nannie was soon
joined by a young kid—who was as black
as his mother was white and which the
darkies named “Nigger.” With Nig
ger’s advent, old Nan threw off her
mask and developed into the sly’est,
sleekestj sneakingest and sharpest female
adventuress of the Angora variety. In
vain we shut her up in the lots or hob
bled her shapely limbs. Finally, we
fastened a trace chain to her neck and
fastened to the end of the chain a good,
long slab of inch plank, which she rat
tled and dragged over the piazza floors
at some hour during almost every night.
Not a latch had we but would yield to
her supple tongue and lips, and she
taught an old sow with seven shoats the
way through every loose paling in the
garden fence. Oh, she was exasperating!
Uriah Keep was never more ’umhle, than
Nan’s sad, lachrymose countenance.
When wc had chased her until our
strength and agility failed us, Nan could
turn her gloomy eyes upon us, as much
as to say’: “Do you not repent of your
heat and haste?”
As Nigger advanced in age we discov
ered the same hereditary inclinations and
weaknesses. If we happened to leave tiie
house door opened, Nigger seized the
chance to perform a sort, of jig on the
table, doing his best work on the big fami
ly bible. He enjoyed also a fandan
go on the kitchen table, especially if the
tins were plentiful and inclined to rattle;
but he fairly limbered his legs when he
found a fitting opportunity to play cow
boy on the bed—delighting in the confu
sion of pillow-shams and such other di
versions as were handy to him.
You must not think, dear reader, that
patience and calm argument marked the
domestic discussion concerning goat cul
ture at this juncture, but a compromise
was effected. Natl and Nigger were ban
ished to tiie branch lot.
Imagine our feelings when a good
neighbor deposited a full grown Angora
at the gate that day—who answered to
the name of “Billy,” The neighbor dis
covered, the perplexity that was written
on every feature of our face and remarked
consolingly, “He’s a splended fellow and
the doctor gets him so cheap.” After a
little inquiry, we found Billy lmd begun
to annov the lit.tl® folks, and our friend
had concluded to sell him cheap! A
sense of the proprieties alone withheld
an offer to trail 3 back with considerable
hoot.
Billy had hardly surveyed the premises
before we heard the rattle of Nan’s block
and chain, : ml found her tripping along
the top of the plank fence,
deftly managing her convict
shackles so as to impede her pro
gress 1 ’t very little. Nigger, in the
mer. ..e, had gained the roof of the cow
shed, and was executing some of his live
liest figures to attract the notice of the
new arrival—or totauMtsornehodyel.se.
One day when the cookjwasoff—as usu
al, and the rest of our household in town,
Billv decided to square accounts with his
inhospitable foe. From the hour of our
introduction he resented our cool recep
tion—and lie evidently nursed his wrath
to keep it warm.
Glancing up at an unusual noise we
found Bill on the threshold, ready for at
tack. Our frantic “get out,” fortunate
ly retired him outside the door, but he
refused to yield another inch. All that
long afternoon the battle raged. Occa
sional sorties were made by both parties,
but as Bill had the water-bucket and
the wcod-box under active surveilanee,
we had to fall back on such ammunition
and weapons of defense as the room af- j
forded. The shovel and the tongs follow- j
| ed the broom, and, in fact, everything
| else that was flingahle and not breakable
—to all of which Billy replied b\’ a one
j sided, two-legged sort of a dance, with
front legs high in the air to give empha
sis to the angry snorts and spitting spells
with which iie intended to intimidate us.
Like Wellington, we begun to pray for
“night or Blueher.”
We made a diversion once—to with
draw attention—hoping our calls at the
open window might attract <*ur visiting
“cook-lady,” but we found old Nan,
meek and reproachful, guarding that
opening. To give us a full idea of their j
importance she sent a dispatch by a sort
of invisible telophone, which made Nig
ger more demonstrative, ami Billy fairly j
shook with a spitting exercise. When I
our lines were quiet. Nigger would
arouse us by a rapid transit over the j
tlower stand, varied by a little display of !
ids agility on the ne'.v hauimoek, but
contented herself bv rampaging
over the piazz is, to the music of her fet
ters.
I hat matinee entertainment of the
Angora circus, in which we assumed the
role of clown for the amusement of the
performing troupe, put an end to the
Angora enterprise. Our story of the
seige was somewhat ludierious that
nigh, but it was also mixed with some
elements that were not exactly funny.
A visitor from the hills of Pickens
county, after listening to to the recital,
concluded to continue the Angora culti
vation as an adjunct to his fanning opera
tions, so the goats emigrated, and domes
' tic peace was again restored in our domi
! cil.
Last evening the Pickens friend called
and spent the night with us. In reply,
to a question, he answered : “Yes, them
goats is thar. Me and my grandson gets
along with Billy mighty well, but my
old lady has to shet doors on him nearly
every day.” With a dry chuckle he re
sumed: ‘‘We has to tie Bill on meetin’
days, for he is mighty bad when the
folks passes the road.” “How do you man
age to get along with them?” was our
next. “We could not drive Bill, how do
you manage to get him out?” “Mighty
well, mighty well. When I want to get
him out’en the field [ shows light, and
he runs me out. You can’t drive that
Billy—no you can’t. He’s never got
over the bad ways he larnt in this settle
ment; but if you want to see Billy get
out easy you just show fight and he will
run you out direckly—but my old lady
is obliged to shet doors on Billy mighty
often.”
The good old farmer filled his cob-pipe
with tobacco of his own raising, and,
while the smoke wreathed about his
head, he related many of the, incidents
which make his experience witli the now
numerous piogeny of our old acquaint
ances a most entertaining story. When
Mr. Peters’ goat farm is held up for in
struction and information in the news
papers we now make no comment. We
are satisfied.
