CHAPTER 11.

COMPACT OF 1802.
In 1802, the United States Government
made and entered into a compact with
the State of Georgia, by the terms of
which, in effect, the Slate of Georgia re
linquished the right to the territories
within the limits of the States of Ala
bama and Mississippi, in consideration of
which the United States undertook and
agreed to extinguish the Indian title to
all the land within the chartered limits
of Georgia, so soon as it could be done
on reasonable terms. About 1525, the
people of Georgia became clamorous
that the United States should perform
her part of the compact, and in 1829,
when General Jackson became Presi
dent—the State of Georgia having voted
for him—her public men began vigor
ously to press the rights of the State of
Georgia in the premises, and to demand
the extinguishment of the Indian title
within the chartered limits of the State.
The Government of the United States
had, in the most solemn form, acknowl
edged the Cherokee Nation was a sov
ereign power, authorized to govern
themselves and other inhabitants of their
territory, free from any rights of legisla
tive interference by the several States
composing the United States of America,
in reference to acts done within their own
territory. The whole territory occupied
by the Cherokee Nation on the east of
the Mississippi, had been solemnly guar
anteed to them. All this will be seen to
be true by the several treaties entered
into between the United States and the
Cherokee Nation of Indians, to-wit: At
Hopewell, on the 28th day of November,
1785; at Ilolston, on the 2d day of
1791; at Philadelphia, on the 26th day of
June, 1794; at Tellico, on the 2d day of
October, 1798; at Tellico, on the 24th
day of October, 1S04; at Tellico, on the
28th day of October, 1805, and 29th
October, 1805, and at Washington City
on the 7th day of January, 1806; at
Washington City, 27th of March, 1816;
Chickasaw Council House, on the 14th
of September, 1816; at Cherokee Agen
cy, on the Bth day of July, 1817, and at
Washington City on the 27th day of
February, 1816. All of which treaties
were duly ratified by the Senate of the
United States of America.
Gold mines, that were exceedingly
rich, had been discovered in the territory
then occupied by the Cherokees, par
ticularly in that part now comprised
within the limits of Lumpkin county.
They attracted the attention of the white
people living adjacent thereto and many
from other States, and created the state
of things called the “Intrusion,” within
that part of the Indian territory.
On the 2d day of December, 1830, the
Legislature of the State of Georgia
passed “An act to authorize the Governor
to take possession of the gold, silver and
other mines lying and being in that sec
tion of the chartered limits of Georgia
commonly called the “Cherokee coun
try,” and all other unappropriated lands
of the State, and for punishing any per
son or persons who may be found tres
passing upon said mines.”
The above recited act remained on
the statute book for about one year, and
there was no action taken by the Gov
ernor of Georgia under that law. Presi
dent Jackson, at the urgent demand of
the chiefs and head men of the Chero
kees, in May, 1831, acting in concert
with the Governor of Georgia, removed
the “Intruders” from the Indian terri
tory, forcing them across the Chestatee
river, at “Leathers’ Ford,” which cir
cumstance inspired one of Georgia’s
bards, (wlco died at the age of 88, an
ornament to his race,) to write a poem,
beginning:
“Big lighting Jack Sanford,
He lit a mighty battle,
He font it the ford
Where Leathers stole the cattle.”
On the 21st day of December, 1830, the
Legislature of Georgia passed “An act to
authorize the survey and disposition of
lands within the limits of Georgia in the
occupancy of the Cherokee tribe of In
dians, and ail other unlocated lands
within the limits of the State, and to au
thorize the Governor to call out a mili
tary lorce to protect surveyors in the
discharge of their duties, etc., etc., etc.”
Ou the 3411i day of December, IS3I,
the Legislature passed “An Ret to
lay out the gold region in the occupancy
of the Cherokee Indians into small,
40 acre lots, the balance in 160 acre lots
and to dispose of the same by lottery,
etc., etc.’”
Under these two acts of the Legisla
ture the land within the chartered limits
of Georgia in the occupancy of the
Cherokee Indians were disposed of
by lottery. These two acts, and two
others, to which attention will be called,
comprised the policy of the State in
reference to the Cherokee Indians.
On the 22d day of December, 1330,
the Legislature of the State of Georgia
passed the following law: “An act to
prevent the exercise ol assumed and ar
bitrary power by all persons under pre
text of authority from the Cherokee In
dians and their laws, and to prevent
white persons from residing within that
part ol the chartered limits of Georgia
occupied by the Cherokee Indians, and
to provide a guard for the protection of
the gold mines and to enforce the laws of
the State within the territory.”
This law forbade the Indians to assem
ble in council to legislate, or for the pur
pose of making laws, or to hold any
court, or to act as ministerial officers, or
to confiscate any property —except the
chiefs and head men may assemble to
CARTERSVILLE, GEORGIA, MARCH 12, 1885.
meet any commissioner of the United
States, etc.
This law further enacted that all
persons residing within the limits of the
Cherokee Nation, on the Ist day of
March, 1832, or any time thereafter,
without a license or permit from the Gov
ernor of Georgia, or his agent, and who
shall not have taken an oath therein re
quired, should be guilty of a high mis
demeanor, and upon conviction thereof
be punished by confinement in the peni
tentiary at hard labor for a term not less
than four years.
The oath required was as follows: “I,
A. 8., do solemnly swear that I will sup
port and defend the constitution and laws
of the State of Georgia and uprightly de
meaii myself as a citizen thereof, so help
me God.”
This act also authorized the Governor
to organize the “Georgia Guard,” which
was done. Wm. N. Bishop was ap
pointed agent of the State to enforce the
law, and was appointed commander of
the guard. Our late departed fellow
citizen, John H. Underwood, (Big John)
was a member of the guard. While the
guard was stationed at what is now
Spring Place, in Murray county, they
discovered a singular looking solitary
man, with apparently no object in view.
His accent clearly indicated that lie was
a Northern man. He seemed to be well
educated, of good manners, and fine
educational powers, though taciturn.
Spies were put upon him and he was set
down as an emissary of what, or from
whom, never transpired; he was ar
rested as such, and put under guard —our
friend, “Big John,” was his jailor, and
watched him kindly and closely. After
being kept in close custody for many
days, and no proof whatever against
him of any improper record or act, he
was discovered to be the authSr of
“Home, Sweet Home,” John Howard
Payne, and was set at liberty with the
most humble apology of the commander,
and an emphatic promise from “Big
John” that he would never arrest and
confine another man without some foun
dation.
The Legislature of Georgia, on the
19th of December, 1829, passed the fol
lowing law : “An act to add the territory
lying within the chartered limits of
Georgia, and in the occupancy of the
Cherokee Indians, to the counties of
Carroll, DeKalb, Gwinnett, Hall and
Habersham, and to extend the laws of
Georgia over the same, and to annul all
laws and ordinances made by the Chero
kee Nation of Indians.”
By the provisions of this statute, the
laws of Georgia, both civil and commer
cial, were extended over all that country
within the chartered limits of Georgia
occupied by the Cherokees.
Under the provisions of the two stat
utes referred to, and whose objects can
well be understood from the titles of
the bills, the Indians suffered great
wrongs.
At the September term, 1831, of Gwin
nett Superior Court, the grand jury of
said court did then, and there, find an
indictment in substance as follows: “For
that the said Elijah Butler, Samuel A.
Worcester, James Hott, Samuel Mays,
Sany Eaton, Austin Copeland and Ed
ward Losure, white persons as aforesaid,
on the 15th day of July, IS3I, did re
side in that part of the Cherokee Nation
attached by the laws of the State to the
said county, and in the county aforesaid,
without a license or permit from His Ex
cellency, the Governor of said State, or
from any agent authorized by His Ex
cellency, the Governor aforesaid, to
grant such permits or license, and with
out having taken the oath to support and
defend the constitution and laws of the
State of Georgia and uprightly demean
themselves as citizens thereof contrary
to the laws of the State, etc.”
The defendants in the State Court ap
peared in proper person and filed the
plea of not guilty, and that the jurisdic
tion ol the court, and the law under
which the indictment was found was un
constitutional and in violation of the
treaties made and ratified between the
United States and the Cherokee Indians.
The case was tried as to two defendants,
Butler and Worcester. Their plea was
the same and was overruled by the court
and the defendants were tried on the
plea of not guilty. The jury found a
verdict against them, and the court sen
tenced them to hard labor in the peni
tentiary for four years.
The defendants carried their case to
the Supreme. Court of the United States,
and were represented in that court by
John Sargeant and William Wirt. The
opinion ol the court was delivered by
John Marshall, Chief Justice, who, after
a very able statement of the facts, histo
ry,treaties and charters, proceeded as fol
lows : “The actual state of things at the
time, and history since, explain these
charters; and the King of Great Britain,
at the treaty of peace could cede only
what belonged to the crown. These
newly attested titles conceived no aid
from the articles so often repeated in the
Indian treaties, extending to them first
the protection of Great Britain, and
afterwards that of the United States.
These articles are associated with others
recognizing their title to self-govern
ment.
The very fact ot repeated treaties with
them recognizes it, and the settled doc
trine of the law of nations is that a
weaker power does not surrender its in
dependence, its right of self-government
by associating with a stronger and seek
ing its protection. A weak State, in or
der to provide for its safety, may place
itself under the protection of one more
powerful without stripping itself of the
right of government and ceasing to be a
State. Examples of this kind are not
wanting in Europe. ‘Tributarv and
feudatory States,’ says Vattel, ‘do not
thereby cease to be sovereign and inde
pendent States so long as self-govern-
ment and sovereign anti, independent
authority are left in the ac|miuistraticn
of the State. At the present day more
one State may be as
holding the rights of setf-government
under the guarantee and protection of
one or more allies.
The Cherokee Nation then, is a distinct
community, occupying its territory, with
boundaries accurately described in which
the laws of Georgia can have no
force, and which the citizens have no
right to enter but with the ? assent of the
Cherokees themselves, or in conformity
with the treaties and with the acts of
Congress. The whole iniercourse be
tween the United States and this Nation,
is vested by one constitifttlon_and laws in
the Government ot the United States.
The act of the State of Georgia, under
which the plaintiff was prose
cuted, is consequently void and the
judgement a nullity. Can the court re
vise and reverse it? If the objection to
the system of legislation lately adopted
by the Legislature of Georgia in relation
to the Cherokee Nation, was confined to
its extra territorial operation, the objec
tion, though complete as far as respected
mere rights, would give thi# court power
over the subject. But 4 goes much
further. If the review w&ieirtias been
taken be correct, and we it is, the
acts of Georgia are repugnant to the
constitution, laws and treaties of the
United States. They interfere forcibly
with the relations established between
the United States and the Cherokee Na
tion, the regulation of which, according
to the settled principles of our Constitu
tion, are committed exclusively to the
Government of the Union.
They are in direct hostility with trea
ties repealed in a succession of years
which mark out the boundary that sepa
rates the Cherokee country from Georgia,
guarantee to them all the land within
their boundary, solemnly pledge the
United States to restrain their citizens
from trespassing on it ana recognizing
the pre-existing power'of t|ie Nation to
govern itself. They are in ? equal hostili
ty with the acts of Congress lor regula
ting this intercourse and giving effect to
the treaties.
The forcible seizure and abduction of
the plaintiff in error, who was residing
in the nation with its permission and by
authority of the President of the United
States, is also a violation of the acts
which authorize the Chief Magistrate to
exercise this authority. Will these pow
erful considerations avail the plaintiff in
error? We think they will. He was
seized and forcibly carried away while
under guardianship of treaties guaran
teeing the country in which he resided
and taking it under the protection of the
United States. He was seized while per
forming under the sanction of the Chi£f
Magistrate of the Union, those duties
which the humane- policy adopted by
Congress had recommended. He was
apprehended, tried and condemned,
under color of a law which has been
shown to be repugnant to the constitu
tion, laws and treaties of the United
States. Had a judgement liable to the
same objection been rendered for prop
erty, none would question the jurisdic
tion of this court. It cannot be less
clear when the judgement affects per
sonal liberty and inflicts disgraceful pun
ishment, if punishment could disgrace
when inflicted, on iunocence. The
plaintiff in error is not less interested
in this unconstitutional law than if it
affected his property. He is not the less
entitled to the protection of the consti
tution.and laws of his country.
It is the opinion of this court that the
judgement of the Superior Court, for the
county of Gwinnett, in the State of
Georgia, condemning Samuel A. Wor
cester to hard labor in the penitentiary
of the State of Georgia for four years,
was pronounced by that court under
color of a law which is void, as being
repugnant to the constitution, laws and
treaties of the United States, and ought,
therefore, to be reversed and annulled.”
Justices McLean, Washington, Bald
win, and all concur, except one Justice,
who denies jurisdiction.
It is not intended by the foregoing re
view to revive the controversy that once
existed with reference to the legality or
justice of the action of the State of
Georgia towards the Cherokee Indians.
That controversy has long ceased to
exist, and can never be revived. The
State of Georgia, priding itself' upon
“State Sovereignty,” that then meant
something, marched straight forward to
the accomplishment of the policy of the
State. The laws of the State were enforced
through the tribunals thererof. Wor
cester and Butler were pardoned upon
taking the oath prescribed, and left the
Cherokee country and returned to Ver
mont and Massachusetts.

PRESIDENT GROVER CLEVELAND.
Brilliant Inaugural Exercises—Republi
canism Mores Out—Democracy
Mores In!
At 10:40 o’clock the Presidential party
entered their carriages and took the po
sition assigned them along the line of
march. In president Arthur’s carriage,
President Arthur with President-elect
Cleveland on his left, Senator Sherman
facing President Arthur, and Senator
Ransom on his right facing the Presi
dent-elect. The second carriage contain
ed the Vice-President-elect, with Senator
Hawley on his left. As the carriages
drove out of the gate and entered the
line, the occupants were greeted with
the wildest enthusiasm, men shouting,
women screaming and waving their
handkerchiefs, and all seemed carried
away with the excitement of the moment.
The scenes on Pennsylvania Avenue
almost baffled description. A great sea
of upturned faces hid the sidewalks.
Above it the buildings were covered with
cloths of gorgeous colors arranged in pa
triotic devices; soft, spring-like breezes
lazily stirred the innumerable flags and
streamers. The President’s elegant car
riage was preceded by Gen. Slocum,
chief marshal, and liis staff, and a troop
of United States cavalry. Surrounding
the carriages were a dozen mounted po
licemen, The party received an ovation
all along the line of march ; men cheered,
women waved their handkerchiefs and
clapped their hands, and the greatest en
thusiasm was evinced by the great throng.
President-elect Cleyeland kept his silk
hat In hand, and bowed to the right and
left as the carriage rolled slowly along,
The same reception was accorded the
Vice-President-elect, whose carriage fol
lowed. Next came the National Demo
cratic Committee and the Inaugural Com
mittee in carriages, followed by the Dis
trict militia, headed by the Washington
Light Infantry. The marching of this
organization, with its unusually broad
front was almost perfect, and it succeeded
in making a difficult wheel at the South
east corner of the treasury building with
out breaking—a feat which even the
United States regulars did not attempt.
A number of colored militia formed part
of the first division, and presented a
highly creditable appearance.
At nine o’clock full three thousand
people had congregated on the broad
plaza to the East of the eapitol and on
to the West approaches to the building.
Both the carriages and pedestrians were
black with strangers going to and from
the great structure. On the streets north
of the building the military companies
societies were forming and preparing
to march to the center of the city. Hun
dreds of people who had passed the night
in Baltimore, and who had arrived on
the early morning trains, lined the thor
oughfares. Many of the strangers had
been unable to find resting places daring
the night, and their faces and clothes
were covered with dust and dirt. Many
of them carried carpet sacks or valises in
hand, while a few held their visiting
clothes in average sized band boxes.
Talkative individuals related their expe
riences of past inaugurations. An old
white-haired man, with beard as long as
Rip Van .Winkle’s, entertained many
with his account of the burning of the
eapitol by the British in 1814. He said
he was 92 years old, and was from one
of the first families of Virginia. “Little
did I think,” he remarked, “when I saw
that building burning, that I would see
Grover Cleveland inaugurated in 1885.”
During the morning recess of the Sen
ate, from Bto 9:3d, the appearance of the
hall underwent a change. Russet leather
backed sofas and luxurious arm chairs
from the cloak room and the committee
rooms were brought in and placed around
the vacant chair before the clerks desk,
while two or three hundred split bottom
chairs were placed wherever space could
be found between the seats of Senators.
Senator Garland’s desk bore a floral lad
der with several rounds, but .no other
flowers were to be seen. A little before
11 o’clock the doors of the President’s
gallery were opened and people entitled
to admission were escorted in. Among
them were Miss Cleveland and Mrs.
Hoyt, sister of the President-elect, Rev.
W. A. Cleveland and wife, and their
two sons, Mr. Hastings, nephew of the
President-elect, Miss Hastings, Miss Nel
lie Yeomans, and Miss Annie Yeomans,
nieces of the President-elect, Mr. and
Mrs. Bacon, of Toledo, and Col. and Mrs.
Lamont.
The only events of the early proceedings
which w’ere not upon the programme,
were the outbreaks of applause which
greeted the announcement of the passage
of the Grant Retirement Bill and the re
ception of the President’s message nom
inating Gen. Grant to the newly created
vacancy. The applause, which w r as
hearty and prolonged, was not suppress
ed by Edmunds.
Just before the entry, the members of
the Supreme court arrived in their am
ple black silk gowns, and preceded by
their marshal. The annual act of turn
ing back the hands of the Senate clock
was performed by the veteran door keep
er, Capt. Isaac Bassett. The Supreme
court justices were placed upon the right
tront of the chair. President Arthur
was now announced, and his coming was
greeted with warm clapping of hands, in
recognition of which he bowed graceful
ly to the assemblage.
A momeot later, and the buzz of con
versation was again suspended in antici
pation of the announcement of the Presi
dent-elect of the United States. Mr.
Cleveland had already entered the hall,
and with his escort, halted within sight
of the assemblage. While bis arrival was
being announced, applause, clapping of
hands at first, ami then cheers loud and
prolonged, welcomed him; then a stal
wart voice in the gallery arose above the
din, demanding three cheers for Grover
Cleveland.
Mr. Cleveland, on the arm of Senator
Sherman, went to the private entrance of
the Senate chamber, and proceeded im
mediately to the Vice-President’s room.
Ex-President Arthur went to the Presi
dent's room, where his cabinet was as
sembled, and where he engaged himself
in signing measures which Congress was
rushing through the legislative halls.
Hendricks, on the arm of Senator Haw
ley, entered the apartment where Cleve
land had previously gone. Hendricks
now took the gavel and called the Senate
to order in extra session. Prayer was
offered by the Chaplain, following which
the Vice-President made a brief address.
New Senators were sworn in, and after
the reading of the message of the Presi
dent convening the Senate, the proces
sion was formed and filed its way toward
the platform on the central portico of the
eapitol. Precisely at 12:30 p. m., the
head of the procession appeared coming
out of the main East door of the eapitol.
President Arthur stepped to the front of
the platform, followed by the President
elect, Chief Justice Waite, and the Ser
geant-at-Armsof the Senate, all uncover
ed as they stood facing the crowd, and
the vast assemblage cheered again and
again lor several minutes.
At 12:40 p. m. President-elect Cleve
land arose and began his inaugural ad
dress. He was clad in a full suit of black,
Prince Albert coat, high, old-fashioned
standing collar and black tie. In speak
ing he had his left hand closed behind
him, and emphasized his speech by ges
tures with his right hand. He spoke
without manuscript, but occasionally
consulted a small piece of paper bearing’
notes of heads- of his discourse. His
voice was clear and resonant, and he
slowly enunciated his words and occa
sionally turned about at pauses, as if to
note the effect of his remarks.
(See his address on our 2d page.)
The address was very brief, and at pre
cisely two minutes alter one o’clock he
concluded with the invocation of the
blessings of Providence and turning to
the Chief Justice and bowing to him,
said: “lam now prepared to take the
oath prescribed by law.”
As the Chief Justice arose to adminis
ter the oath, the vast assemblage cheered
again and again. The President-elect
stood faring the Chief Justice, with the
crowd on his right. Chief Clerk McKen
ney, of the Supreme court, stood just to
the bible upon which the oath was ad
ministered, the President-elect also hold
ing it with his right hand. The bible
used is a small morocco covered, gilt
edged volume, pretty well worn. It is
the bible which Mr. Cleveland’s mother
gave him when he left home as a young
man, and at his special request the com
mittee of arrangements had it in readi
ness for the ceremony. The crowd pre
served perfect quiet as the impressive
ceremony of administering the oath was
taking place, ttut wlien it wa3 concluded"
and as President Cleyeland laid down
the bible after reverently kissing it, and
shook hands with Chief Justice Waite,
who was the first to congratulate him,
they cheered loud and long. Ex-Presi
dent Arthur was the second man to con
gratulate the President, and then fol
lowed Chief Clerk McKinney and Sena
tor Sherman. President Cleveland was
then introduced to the remaining judges
of the Supreme court, to Lieutenant-Gen
eral Sheridan and General Hancock.
At the conclusion of the ceremonies at
the eapitol, the procession escorted the
presidential party back to the White
House. The two carriages which con
tained President Cleveland, ex-President
Arthur, Vice-President Hendricks and
the Senate committee of Arrangements,
took positions in the first divisions and
the line staited. The greatest enthusiasm
was manifested along the route. Crowds
on the sidewalks had increased so that it
was impossible to press through it. Many
people were forced out into the roadway,
and the police had all they could do to
keep the avenue open for the procession.
The review from the Presidential stand
was a grand sight, and it was the gener
ally expressed opinion that no more bril
liant pageant had ever been witnessed in
the country. All organizations gave the
marching salute-as they passed the grand
stand, and thp President at first recog
nized this compltaient by raising his hat
to every separate command. But the
length of the line and the chilliness of
the breeze which sprang up compelled
him before the second division passed to
keep his head covered, and in most cases
to limit his acknowledgments to a slight
, bow. In view of the fact that the pro
cession wks three hours in passing. It
is not a matter for surprise that he had to
abandon his intention of standing with
head uncovered through the review.
FIRE WORKS.
The public celebration of the day end
ed with a display of fireworks. In char
acter it was like all displays of fireworks,
but in volume and variety it is said to
have excelled any former pyroteehnical
exhibition upon this continent. Withal
it was successful to the minutest detail,
although the stage of preparation late in
the afternoon was not encouraging.
TIIE BALL,
The brilliant finale of the inauguration
ceremonies was the ball at night. It
put the cap sheaf of gaiety on the more
-formal and serious, though grand, cere
monial which preceded it. Beauty lent
its aid to crown the triumph of the in
coming administration, and amid the
light festivities of the ball room the cele
bration of the day came to a close. The
ball was held in the unfinished new Pen
sion building, an immense structure.

Pat Reilly was taking a ride
On an elegant summer’s morning.
And Kathleen sat closely by his side,
Bright snnlcs her face adorning.
And she looked so tidy and neat,
Her figure so plump and trim,
No girl half sopretty and sweet
llad ever appeared to him.
Said Pat: “Your eyes are so blue,
And your lips so templlingly red,
They’re the purtiest I ever knew
And belong to the colleen I’d wed.
“Ah? darlin’, if it wasn’t this baste
That’s pullin’ my poor arms apart,
They would tiuderly stheal round your waist
And yourself be pressed to my heart.
“For my love’s that powerful indade
Withoat you I cannot survive."
Then Kathleen blushed and said:
“Mr, Reilly, perhaps I could drive!”
THE PRINCESS OF WARES.
Boston Herald,]
The Princess of Wales is adored by the
English Conservatives and Radicals alike,
and it was a lucky day, indeed, tor the
heir apparent when he took the sweet
and high-minded daughter of the King
of Denmark to wife. Her popularity is
rivaled only by that of Mr. Gladstone,
and it is even greater than his, for Lon
don is hers, heart and soul, as well as
the provinces. To look at this pretty
and girlish woman no one would imagine
that she was forty years ot age, and the
mother of several children, including
two great boys, one of whom has just at
tained his majority. Although H. It. H.
, holds herself so well that, when seated
in her carriage or in the box of a theater
she seems a tall woman, yet in reality she
is petite. The Princess dFesse3 her hair
rather high, and wears high heels. She
is always attired to perfection, and usual
ly in white or black in the evening and
in very quiet colors during the day; but
her costume at night, however simple, is
set oft" by the most magnificent jewels, so
that she literally “blazes like a jeweled
sun.” 11. R. H. is somewhat deaf, but
not seriously so. The present writer has
seen her many times in public, and has
always been impressed with the grace
and delicacy of her type of beauty, and
the unaffected goodness that seems to
surround her like an atmosphere. The
Princess is always cheered to the echo,
and fairly mobbed b} r the enthusiastic
public. I have seen her seated in the
royal coach, returning in state from
Buckingham Palace to Marlborough”
House, preceded by outriders, a diadem
on her fair brow and gorgeously attired;
again, at a garden party, accompanied
by her little daughter clinging to the
skirts of her gown, as she walked along
between the ranks ot ladies courtesying,
and men with their heads uncovered;
again, driving in Hyde Park late in the
, aftyruoou with the little Princesses, or
sailing out to the royal yacht anchored
off the Isle of Wight, the ribbons of her
sun-hat fluttering in tae fresh breeze,
her dress a simple blue serge, and, still
again, selling roses for charity at the
fete held in the Horticultural Society’s
grounds in South Kennington. The
Princess is a familiar, but always art iso
lated, figure in English daily life.- 1
A PUERILE THREAT.
Nashville Danner. ]
The railway crowd that assaulted the
Alabama legislature, and failed in their
effort to overthrow the railway commis
sion system in that State, are battering
away at the doors of the House, having
already “bucked and gagged” the Sen
ate of Tennessee. They have reached
such a pitch of pride and arrogance by
reason of their temporary triumph in.
Tennessee’s State Senate, that they
threaten Georgia with invasion and the
utter overthrow of her popular and effi
cient railway commission. They say
that they vyill bury Campbell Wallace
under its ruins because he has told Ten
nessee and the Union, that Georgia has
tested her railway commission for five
years, and finds that it is beneficial to the
railroads and to the people. This exam
ple of Georgia is making them very
wrathy, and as they cannot answer his
reports of success and triumphs in the
field of railway regulation, they make a'
bones of saying that his head will soc
fall in the basket. lie has heard so
impudent and insolent bravado be
and often. ll‘e has measured /swbrua
w ith the railway power of and
has been victorious, because the people
thereof irrespective of party have been at
his back and because Georgia’s public
men of all parties have been for the coo
mission, and because the Atlanta
tution and all the other leading papers
have stood grandly by the commission
and commissioners. These railway
agents want to slaughter Campbell Wal
lace and overthrow the Georgia commis
sion, because they know r no State in this
Union will continue to submit to- railway,
exaction and oppression as long as Geor
gia’s example flames up and throws its
beams athwart the continent. The
Stahlmanites are vexed at the frequent
references to Georgia’s commission and
commissioners by the Tennessee Demo
crats. The only way to get rid of the
annoyance is to overthrow the Georgia
commission. Forewarned is forearmed.
Georgia had better fortify, for a greater
enemy than Sherman threatens another
march to the sea.
