It is nonsense to talk of reman ling Hie
negroes to bondage. They -honUI be
di*franchised, or colonized, <.r b >th. —
M'icon Telegraph and Messenger
If expatriated anddisfrauchi-e I, would
Col. Lamar govern ihein through a pro
tectorate, oir confer ou them a bb*s*ing in
the form of a white despot?— Chattanooga
Timet.
Provide them with a country of their
own, give them a good start, and let them
govern themselves in their own way.
Let the negro race be responsible for its
own future. It should not be a menace
to our civilization an lan incubus on our
prosperity.— Macon Telegraph.
While we have great respect personally
for Col. Lamar, editor of the Telegraph ,
and oonfdeace in political consistency
and integrity, we cannot agree with him
at all points and on all questions of poli
cy. We agree with aim as to remanding
the negro to slavery. On that point we
think him right. We would not do so if
our own single vote would re-enslave the
negro, however much we might be di
rectly interested in the financial opera
tion of such a measure. And, then, be
sides, the negro can never be remanded
to slavery again. As to colonizing the
negro, that is an impossibility. An at
tempt of the kind would entail upon the
white people of this country a burden of
taxation they could and would not sub
mit to. It would require millions of
dollars to carry out the colonization plan,
and the blood of a nation to disfranchise.
This is the philosophy of the whole mat*
ter.
To “provide them with a country of
there own and to give them a good start”
would require millions more of the trea
sure drawn from the sweat of white en
terprise and white i ‘bor they could not
nor would submit o. So, we think, we
of the south have lost enough of blood
and treasure on the negro to satisfy any
ordinary political idiosyncracy on that
matter. The graves of onr dead soldiers
and the poverty of our people since the
war fully .(tie.*, the truth of the extent of
these losses whu h the people, we think,
will not consent to add b> by further ex
periment in regard lo the negro problem
so i :11 as tin* enfranchisement or the col
onization of the rare is concerned.
What we of the south should most de
sire is, (hat we should teach rh*i negro
and inspire him with thu confidence that
we are his friends, and 01 dy true friends,
and that the pecuniary interests of the
two races are so interlinked, that neither
can afford to ignore those of the other.
That the negro knows little of self-gov
ernment is an indisputable fact. The
same truth applies to thousands of white
people born and reared in our good old
state of Georgia. The disfranchisement
of either race of this class would redden
many a battle-Held with the blood of our
people. To colonize him would consume
more of the treasure of the white people
than they would submit to.
The true policy, therefore, is to make
the best citizens we can of the negro;
give him justice as our people will always
do; educate to und *.rstand that the pros
perity of the dominant race in the promo
tion of his own welfare. For centures,
If not for all time, the negro in this coun
try will have to occupy, as a people, an
humble position in life; but, at the same
time it is due to them, as our former
slaves, to do all as can to promote their
welfare, and prosperity and advancement.
Throw no stone in the way of his moral
and mental development.
OUR PUBLIC SCHOOL SYSTEM.
We have not made ourself sufficiently
acquainted with the details of the system
in Georgia to give an outline of it; but
we do know that, for the want of means
on the part of the state it is not what it
should be. There are true hearts in the
state who have struggled against the
most adverse infiueucesand circumstance
to inaugurate at least a partially success
ful system in Georgia. These advocates
of human advancements have met with
many rebuffs and much antagonism on
the part of their opponents. To educate
the poor is to civilize the masses; to
civilize the mnses is to chin -?:tlize good
citizenship; to do both is to promote the
cause of law and order, the prosperity of
t lie stale and >be happiness of the people.
He hope measures will be taken at the
July session of the legislature to do some
tiling of increased importance to advance
this great cause. If the legislature will
have the firmness to ignore the petty lo
on! bills and the temperance legislation
.h i; will be asked for and look to thi
matter in a tnte statesmanlike manner it
will have accomplished some good for
the poor, destkufe and ignorant chi id re-n
of the stale.
We hope to'see a more efficient and
etlecuve system of public schools prooiot
ed that it mav add glory and renown to
our state. •

7HR IRISH XATIOXAL COS VESTIOX.
The national convention of Irish-Amer
can citizens at Philadelphia, in their
resolution?, presented a terrible hill of
indictment against the government of
England in Ireland. The preamble and
resolutions were drawn with a masterly
hand, the best written we have ever read
from any quarter. There waa considera
ble enthusiasm In the convention as well
as a great deal of disorder. The object
of :he convention is to organize the Irish
citizens of the United Slates and of Can
ada in a great national unity for the res
toration of the people of the Emeralp Isle
into an independent nationality and self-
government.
Hie 1 ,id‘>n Times of Sunday, says:
,< in convention ar Philadelphia
began WPh a clap-trap of folly and in#-
i •> v , | closed after tlie same fash
ion Tie*whole scene, it says, would be
painful, were it not supremely ridicul
ous. The only practical suggestion
made by the convention for injuring
Great Britain is the advice to people of
Irish sympathies to buy nothing from
England unless they were obliged to is a
confession of impotence when the Irish
malice is driven to such a palt r y expedi
ent which, if tried, would only injure its
adopters. The lesson for Great Brittain
is to ignore the liishmen and abandon
the hope of bringing them to a better
frame of mind by the continuance of un
merited favors. They have already con
vinced the rest of the world that they are
unfit to have national independence and
they must be made to feel the strong arm
of the law.”
It appears that the conservative ele
ment was overwhelmingly in the major
ity and that the dynamite advocates,
headed by O’Donovan Rossa, was great
ly chagrined. Among other measures
proposed for the redemption was that the
Irish tradesmen should buy no goods tor
mercantile purposes from England man
ufactures, but to purchase nothing ex
cept of American production. In one of
the speeches the condition of the Irish
people is similar to that of the American
Colonels under British rules. These two
points taken together, exhibits a shrewd
design to array American sympathy for
Ireland as against England.
While we think Ireland is oppressive
ly governed yet we have the greatest
sympathy f#r her people. We hope the
Uuiievl States government will be kept
out of anything like “entangling allian
ces” that may in any way disturb the
good feeling existing between England
and the United States and the people
thereof. With her possession only sepa
rated from this country on the north by
a land line, our government should see
to it that the greatest reciprocity of good
feeling should prevail between the eil i
zens.
We think ihe British government
should seek to quiet, if possible, the dis
satisfaction of its Irish subjects by whole
some government ami by equality of rep
resentation in all that pert fins to its
home people, instead of making them
“to feel the strong arm of the law,” as
the Times suggests.
The arraignment of the landlord
system by the convention was a terrible
indictment against the government and
a vivid description of the sufferings of
the tenants and laborers under that sys
tem.
777.fi* STATE ROAD LEASE.
The Atlanta correspondent of the Ma
con Telegraph , writing on Monday last,
in making a statement of the payment of
the $25,000 monthly rental into the state
treasury from the state road, adds:
“I understand it is intimated in some quarters
that, at the expiration of the present lease, there
will be some heavy litigation between the lessees
and the state. The litigation, it is thought, will
grow out the great damage the lessee* claim to
sustain, and the greater damage they will here
after sustain, by reason of the charter granted
by the state to a parallel road, the E. T. Va.
and Ga.”
We have heard this before from the
history of the leasing of the state road,
we should not be surprised at any thing
the lesees might do. When we remem
ber the iniquitous manner in which the
lease was let out; how the whole scheme
of swindling the state was conceived of
iniquity anc! born of fraud; how that a
responsible company offered, with the
best security, a larger advance over the
present lessees in the monthly rental. The
people of Georgia, in our opinion, may
prepare to howl at the expiration of the
present lease.
Georgia ought to receive not less than
fifty thousand dollars per month for the
use of the road. The cause of the edu
cation of the poor children of the state is
crippled to that extent. If we live we
shall see what we shall see.

that the country is becoming safe, \r

The Xew York Herald wonders “if a
system of accounts can be devised by an
expert by which honesty will be insured
in places of trust. The expert and the
rogue have thus far had a close fight of
it, but the expert bas succeeded only in
proving his man’s guilt, not forestalling
him in his operations.”

about to visit the Apache country, the

“If it ever comes to a show-down be

with the Apache, but our money would
be staked on thfe editor evtery time.”.

A RAID OX RICHMOND.
Daring Depredation* by a Gang of Bur
glar*.
Special-by by Telegraph to the Times-Star.]
Richmond, Va., April *26.—The depre
dations of a gang of burglars who have
robbed right and left for a month,reached
a climax last night and Tuesday night,
when three robberies and outrages were
& mot united in the residence of the Police
Captian John 11. Prather, who had been
particularly active in his efforts to hunt
down the burglars. While at breakfast
on Tuesday his rooms were robbed of
money and valuables. To show their
daring, apparently, the burglars either
stayed in the building or re-entered it
about sp. m., in broad daylight, and
with blackened faces confronted the Cap
tain’s sixteen-year-old daughter, who
was in her bed-room.
They her, and one of them said,
“Don’t say a word, or 1 will blow your
damned bead olf,”at the same time point
ing a revolver at her hea l and snatching
a gold chain from her throat and a ring
from her finger. The girl screamed,how
ever and when the men ran followed them
into the street. During the night stones
were thrown through the windows, and
last night the boldest of all the outrages
was committed. The burglars got into
the house, entered the room of the girl,
bound her and gagged her, tore her cloth
ing oil" and threw her on the floor and
cast a mattress ovet her, aunounceing
their intention of smothering her to death.
The gag slipped as they doubled the mat
tress, and her screams attracted assistance
and the men again escaped. No such ex
citement has been caused by anything
since the war. Men g > armed in the
street, and women and children refuse to
remain in their houses alone.
The police arrest everybody they find •
in the streets after II p. m., and whom
they do not know. Dealers in firearms
have sold all their stock, and several of
them have ordered supplies by telegraph,
the shipments to be sent at once by ex
press. The work ot the last two nights
is, however, only climax, and the excite
ment has grown daily for a month. A
mong the places robbed have been those
of T. W. Pemberton,F. F. Murray,John
Weed, Mrs. Charles Carliugton, Mrs.
Hampton, a daughter of Senator
Hampton, Mrs. Meanly, Mrs. Tyler, the
widow ot President Tyler, and many
others of the richest and best known res
idents of the city. The ground has been
chosen with the greatest accuracy and
with evidently well founded sources of
information, ard in no case h ive the
burglars failed to secure money .diamonds
jewlery i#nd valuable clothing.
Richmond, Va., April 20. —The mys
tery concerning ihe buiglars at Police
Captain Parather’s house and tying and
gagging of his daughter, is cleared up.
l'iie voting lady herself was the author
of the mischief. She is suffering from a
mental hallucination which assumed this
form probably by hearing the rumors ot
various robberies that had been committed
in the city talked about.

The Changes That Occurred on the First
of May.
From the Times-Star Leaded Lines.]
Washington, April 28. —The change
ot tobacco tax on the Ist of M ty, and the
preparations for rebate on unbroken
packages, Is occupying a great deal of at
tention, not alone from the head of the
Revenue Bureau here, but from the per
sons all over the country. For how
many manufacturers and dealers do you
suppose there are in this article in the
country? Four hundred thousand! Near
ly a half million ;or nearly one to every
100 persons. The change in the laws
makes it necessary to sen 1 new stamps
for every one of these dealers, and in
many cases to other classes of Internal
Revenue tax payers, so that the other
day fifteen ton of stamps were shipped
by the Revenue Department for the use
of these people. You see every cross
road store in the count ry keeps tobacco
and, of course, it must pay its license tax
for that purpose. Everybody in the cities
has observed the frequency with which
he encounters cigar stores and saloons.
Well, every one of these has to have its
new licence stamp, and so it is pretty
easy to see where the 400,000 stamps go
to. The act of Congress which reduced
the tax provided that dealers who have
on hand unbroken packages of tobacco
on May Ist on which the full tax of six
teen cents per pound has been paid, may
obtain a rebate of the amount paid in ex
cess of the tax under the law taking ef
fect on that date. Hence there will be
an unwonted activity in the tobacco shop
on that day.
“What do you suppose this rebate will
amount to,” I of an official of the
Internal Reveuue Bureau yesterday.
“I don’t know” he answered, “its
pretty hard to estimate. It will run up
into the millions, or course.”
“There will be an immense number of
claims for rebate, will there not.”
“Yes. Ido not think ho.vevcr, that
half the dealers will put in my claim.
You see the rebate is only illowed in
sums of $lO and unward, m l only on un
broken packages. W*n mos; of the small
dealers keep on hand only about what
they need to hive roily to -ell from at
once. The requirement that the claim
for rebate be not ie>s than $lO v\ ill shut
out a great many, for the rebate to
amount to .$lO, must be on 1 2b pounds of
tobacco in unbroken packages, or tweutv
boxes of cigars.”
“When will this rebite be paid?”
“That we cannot say. Congress direct
ed its payment, but did not provide the
funds with which to pay it,hence we can
not do so until the next Congress meets
and does the work that the last one tailed
to perform.”
“And meantime —?”
Meantime we will go cn receiving, ex
amining and passing upon the claims,and
when the funds come on we will be all
ready to send out the checks.”
M. Garcia’ in his new book, ” The
Actor’s Art,” says that the celebrated
French actress, dejazet, who played the
part of young lovers at the age of seventy
used to get rid of her numerous w rinkles
by means of elastic wigs, that kept the
skin tightly drawn from the forehead.

Ho Whiskey!
Brown’s Iron Bitters
is one of the very few tonic
medicines that are not com
posed mostly of alcohol or
whiskey, thus becoming a
fruitful source of intemper
ance by promoting a desire
for rum.
Brown’s Iron Bitters
is guaranteed to be a non
intoxicating stimulant, and
it will, in nearly every case,
take the place of all liquor,
and at the same time abso
lutely kill the desire for
whiskey and other intoxi
cating beverages.
Rev. G. W. Rice, editor of
the American Christian Re
view, says of Brown’s Iron
Bitters:
Cin.,o.,Nov. 16,1881.
Gents: —The foolish wast
ing of vital force in business,
pleasure, and vicious indul
gence of our people, makes
your preparation a necessity;
and if applied, will save hun
dreds who resort to saloons
for temporary recuperation.
Brown’s Iron Bitters
has been thoroughly tested
for dyspepsia, indigestion,
biliousness, weakness, debil
ity, overwork, rheumatism,
neuralgia, consumption,
liver complaints, kidney
troubles, &c., and it never
fails to render speedy and
permanent relie£

SALICYLICA >s known as a common
sense remedy, because it strikes directly at the
cause of Rheumatism, Gout and Neuralgia,
while so many so-called specifics and supposed
panaceas only treat locally the effects.
It has been conceded by eminent scientists
that outward apnliations, such as nibbing with
oils, ointments, liniments and soothing lotions
will not eradicate these diseases which are the
result of the poisoning of the blood with Uric
Acid.
SALICYLICA works with marvelous ef
fect on this acid so removes the disorder. It is
now exclusively used bv all celebrated physi
sicians of America and Europe. Highest Medi
cal Academy of Paris reports 95 per ceut cures
