THE NEGRO PROBLEM.
We thought we should have no more
to say on the subject of the negro prob
lem ; but the subject has grown so warm
in its discussion through the press and
upon the rostrum, that we do not see
how Thk Frek I’ress is to avoid enter
ing into the arena. In doing so, we do
notsee what good is to be accomplished
in the agitation o( the subject to the ex
tent that Dr. Ilaygood is exciting
throughout the country by his gushing
declamation and rhetorical flourishes.
The truth is, Dr. Haygood is just a little
too previous on the education of the ne
gro, and is becoming a little too arro
gantly exacting in his demands upon the
real tax-payers of the country to pay for
his education. A little more judgment
upon the part of Dr. Ilaygood, and a lit
tle more modesty upon the part of the
negro, would go far towards advancing
the real interest of the negro in his intel
lectual progress among the white people
of the south, who have to foot the school
fund expended for popular education.
When it is remembeied that the white
people pay nearly all of the taxes, the
exacting demands of the negro amounts
to supercilious arrogance revolting to the
Caucasian race.
The negro should he taught to know at
once that he is not to be pamper
ed at the expense of the white peo
ple, who are willing to give him a
fair chance in the race of life, and
that he shall work out his own destiny,
as the poor white man lias to do, in a
free eouutry like this. If the white peo
ple are willing to he taxed to give him
the rudiments of education, he ought to
he satisfied for the present, at least, until
he becomes himself a factoi in the sup
port of public schools as a tax-payer.
There are thousands of white children in
Georgia whose fathers are tax-payers,
hut unable to educate their children even
in the primary branches of education, let
alone the higher education for which the
pauper negro is making such clamorous
and unreasonable demands. If the negro
will content himself for the present with
the rudiments of an education such as
our present public school system furnish
es him the opportunity to receive, and
until he, as a tax-payer, can reasonably
demand as such, he will do much to as
suage the prejudice on the part of the
white property-owners to being taxed
for his advancement. If the negro would
only pay promptly his poll tax, which
goes to the educational fund, he might
more consistlv set up a clamor for higher
education than the primary elements
taught in the public school system and in
which he has an equal showing with the
children of the white tax-payer.
Now, as we have said, we are in favor
of giving the negro every opportunity
for his intellectual advancement consist
ent with justice and the rights of other
classes of our people; but we are not
willing to submit to the arrogant de
mands set up for him by fanatical gush
ing, such as Dr. Haygood is indulging in
at various points in the country. We are
a friend of the negro, but we do not pro
pose to become his slave nor that he be
our equal. We tell him now that his
exorbitant demand upon the substance
of the white people in giving him the
higher education, will not be submitted
to, and the first thing lie knows the pub
lic school system w ill be abolished, and
he will then be left without any means
of education, except that for which he
may be able to pay himself. For these
reasons we caution the negro to go slow
on this subject. Let him remember that
he must depend upon his own industry
and energy, somewhat, in the solution of
his future de tiny, which he must work
out for liin. elf. The white race will
submit to no arrogant demands from him
upon their substance for his education,
and he may as well so understand at
once.
In our opinion, Dr. llaygood is some
what fanatical on the education of the
negro, more so than in behalf of his own
race. The negro problem cannot be
s >lved sit too great an expense to the
white people. They will not submit to
it, though they may be willing, and a
great majority of them doubtless are, to
he taxed to giye the negro the primary
rudiments of an education, such as their
own children receive at the public ex
pense. Let the negro problem be solved
as the Caucasian is solving his own prob
lem, his own destiny—by hard work and
economy.
THE ATLANTA POSI OFFICE.
A great deal of consternation was cre
ated in Atlanta on Saturday evening last
b/ the removal of Postmaster Conley and
five of the attaches of the postoffiee. No
cause was given, and the dismissals were
surprising to everybody. An agent of
that department walked into the posiof
lioe and exhibited the papers. A dis
patch to the Augusta News, of Monday,
says that Postmaster Conley is going to
Washington to see about it. His removal
was a great surprise to him, and it is
thought to he a put-up job during the ab
sence of the president to the Yellowstone
region.
It is our 'vr w > i tb >t the whole thing
is a political trick. We believe Mr. Con
-1 y to he an honest man, as much as we
may differ with him politically. The
politicians are always at some devilment
for personal aggrandisement, whether
they be so-called democrats or republi
cans.
It is very strange that Mr. Conley
should be thus summarily removed with
out explanation or an opportunity of
sell-defense. There must be something
fyul iu the transact ion.
PRESIDENTIAL ASPIRANTS FOR im.
We have been connected with journal
ism many years, and have watched many
campaigns for the president’s place, but
have never seen so many little men hop
ping up for newspaper notice, and so
few worthy of attention. It is positively
ridiculous.
The timber for president has played
out, apparently, and the w hole country
is nauseated with the farce that is now
performing before the people of these
United States. The democrats are more
noisy than the republicans, and, conse
quently, more commented upon. Both
are in a bad way for candidates. The
last pop-gun that sounded was that of
Ilolman, of Indiana, who has made a
cheap reputation by objecting to every
thing that was proposed in the house of
representatives. Holman is a lair third
rate lawyer, but so fond of “cold tea”
that he is not always prompt to his desk
in congress. If the white house oppor
tunities were extended to him, lie would
likely sink his boat in a lake of “cold tea.”
McDononald is a tine specimen of a
hoosier politician—full of management
and scarce of ideas. He married a dash
ing w r idow some months ago, and is push
ing his claims with more zeal than mod
esty. He is like Tilden—no statesman,
and can’t make the trip, because he is
minus the “barrel.”
Uncle Sammy is shrewd. He put a fly
in Hancock’s dumpling, and he w ill play
his old game ot rule or ruin, if he does not
boss the job and control the machine. We
had a full dose of Tilden in 1876-77. God
deliver the south from a man who refused
to pay his taxes until compelled by law,
and who played the coward after he was
elected, to save his precious bonds!
If no better man is put forward, we
will not vote for him. He is too big a
pill for a patriot to swallow.
The republicans have had such a nau
seous pill in the exposures of Dorsey
and the unsavory record of Garfield, that
has disgusted all who have examined it,
(we allude to his selling the seat on the
supreme bench and his treachery to Gen
eral Rosencrans,) that it will be hard to
rise up straight under such a load, and
set the party up right before the country.
In truth, there must be a fair man
placed before the people next time, or
.there will be trouble. The north revolted
last year against corruption and bossism,
and the leaven w ill spread.
In our opinion, Judge Davis is the best
man before the country at this time. lie
is honest and clean in his politics, lie is
not connected with the machine in either
party, and the country would accept him
as a welcome relief from the tricks and
trades of both the democratic and repub
lican bosses.
THE PROHIBITION BILL.
The general prohibition hill for the
whole state is made the special order for to
day in the senate. We do not know what
will be the result. The best thing that
could be done would be to kick the thing
under the table. The hill is just about as
right as if it were a bill to make people
sell and drink whisky. This is a question
that belongs to each individual acting for
himself as a freeman and an American
citizen. The truth is, all this temperance
legislation is the fanaticism that sprang
from the old fellows who landed at Fly
mouth Rock from the Mayflower. That
breed of fanatics has given to this coun
try more devilment than all other agen
cies. We have always wished that the
Mayflower had went down in mid-occan
on her way to this western world.
That Mayflower crowd of fanatics and
their posterity gave us the late war.
They have been the infernal instigators
of all the isms that liaye cursed this coun
try for centuries. Their spirit has entered
Georgia to create strife and contention on
the temperance question. That same
spirit to-day is engendering malignity
between neighbors. For these reasons
we cannot revere the memory of the
“Pilgrim Fathers” nor the mothers ot
that faith. We despise fanaticism of that
spirit. We regret to see it exhibited in
this land of liberty, especially in Geor
gia. It is a nuisance and an expense to
the people of Georgia they should not
submit to. It is an intolerable outrage
upon private rights and personal liberty
that no free people should submit to. It
is an infamous onslaught upon civil lib
erty that ought to he resisted by a free
people at the point of the bayonet.
We hope there will be good sense, wis
dom and patriotism sufficient in the Geor
gia senate to-day to defeat the iniquitous
bill with scorn and contempt. It is time
that such fanaticism should he nipped in
the bud. The passage of such a bill is
good cause for rebellion against the state
government.
We amply sympathize with Speaker
Gunards of the lower house of the Geor
gia legislature in the loss of a thirteen
year old son last week. Of course, the
speaker can have but little heart to en
gage in legislative matters just now. It
is always hard to give up to death those
we love; but our dearest idols pass from
our sight when we least expect it—an or
deal none of us are ever prepared to meet
philosophically however much we may
philosophise upon the wisdom of Him
who giveth and taketh away. We can
only extend to Speaker Gunard our sin
cerest condolence.
On and after the first day of October
next, the rate of postage on domestic
mail matters of the lirct class will he re
duced from three cents to two cents for
half ounce or fraction thereof, as provid
ed by act of Congress, approved March
3, 1883.
All person are advised not to have a
surplus stock of three cent stamps and
three cent stamped envelopes on hand at
the end of October, as there is no provi
sion made to redeem them, and postmas
ters are forbidden to exchange other
stamps for them.
The state’s income will be this year
•$1,535,000, while the expenses will only
run to $1,302,000, leaving a surplus of
$143,000, which car. be devoted to the
building. The purchasers of the Macon
ami Brunswick railroad will pay $760 -
000 into the state treasury in the next
two years.
THE 81 ATE LENA TIC ASYLUN.
la view of the overcrowded condition
of the state lunatic asylum, we have a
suggestion to make which we think is of
importance to the public. There are
many patients sent there who are imbe
ciles and harmless creatures who might
be kept at home. They are often sent to
the asylum by their friends to get rid of
their care. This is wrong. It is crowd
ing outpatients who ought to be there.
We understand that there are more than
three hundred such cases in the jails of
the various counties awaiting room at
the asylum for their reception, while
these harmless imbeciles are in the insti
tution at the expense of the state who
are simply there because their friends
desire to he rid of their care at home. If
the friends of such patients are unable to
take care of them they could be sent to
the poor house at the expense of the
county in which they live.
We fear county authorities are too
much disposed to push such paupers upon
the state at large, by sending them to the
asylum, instead ot earing for them at the
county’s expense. This is all wrong.
The three hundred eases lying in our
jails awaiting room at the asylum demand
that a reform should be instituted by our
legislature. They should look to it at
once. There should be a statute enacted
right away to remedy this evil. There
over eleven hundred patients at the
institution and the number is rapidly in
creasing. Room should be provided for
those whose actual conditions demand
immediate attention and treatment at the
asylum, and it is to be hoped that the
legislature will investigate this subject
before adjournment.
The matter can be fully explained by
Dr. Powell, and the investigating com
mittee recently sent to the asylum to look
into tlie affairs. We hope some one will
bring the subject to the attention of the
general assembly without delaj'. It is
imperative that it should be done. Hu
manity demands immediate action. The
harmless imbeciles can he kept at home
by their friends; anti if their friends are
not able to provide for them, then let
each county provide for its pauper pa
tients at its own expense.
POST A I NOTES.
lii accordance to the act of Congress
approved on the 3d of March last, all
money order posl-ofliees have been furn
ished with blank postal notes, which can
be issued on and after the 3d day of Sep
tember next (next Monday.) Such notes
can be issued in sums of from one cent to
$4.99, the fee therefor being three cents.
Those notes are payable to bearer, who
ever he may be. If lost, the remitter
sustains the loss. They are not to take
the place of money orders, and the appli
cant has the option of procuring a money
order or a postal note. The difference
between a money order and a postal note
is that the former is made payable to a
designated payee, and if lost a duplicate
can he procured. The paying postmas
ter is furnished by the issuing postmas
ter with an advice giving the name of
the payee, and if he pays it to the wrong
person, he is responsible for the amount.
Not so with a postal note, they being
payable to bearer, whoever may present
them, there being no advice furnished to
the paying p-at Raster. The lee ora
money order not exceeding ten dollars is
eight (8)06111?, being only five cents more
than that on a postal note. There is no
change for a loss of the money paid for
a money order, but there is a risk of los
ing it paid on a postal note. We would
advise all persons who wish to remit
email amounts to procure a money order
instead of a postal note.
The Regulation says: “After once
having paid a postal note, by whomso
ever presented, the United States will not
be liable to any further claim for the
amount thereof, and inasmuch as every
postal note is payable to bearer no con
sideration can be given by the postolfice
department to complaints of improper
payment. Complaints of loss of letters
containing postal notes will however he
located as are complaints of the loss of
other valuable letters, and investigated
as cases of mail depredations.”
THE COLORED BROTHER AND TIIE
SCHOOLS.
To the Editor of The Free Press:
I read your admirable editorial on the
“Haygood Craze” about negro education,
and commend its tone and spirit. It was
to the point. Apropos to this subject, I
was a listener to the following conversa
tion a day or so ago:
“Good mawnin’, Mass Billy, llow d’ye
do? I’s come round to git dat little
change what my son Jimmy hauled oats
for you for. I jes wouldn’t axed ye for it
to-day, but 1 needs all I can git to pay
for my rations, and go to school.”
“All right, Uncle Jacob, You say you
are going to school; how old are you?”
“Nigh on ter sixty, Mass Billy, but
Use been gwinc live months, and doing
mighty well. When l gits so I can read
with a little satisfaction, l shall be
mighty well pleased. I can read just a
a little in de fust reader, but I can’t make
no sense outen it, but I think maybe I
can do a leetle better after der crowd gits
away.”
“What crowd, Uncle Jacob?”
“De free school crowd. Go 1 bless you,
Mass Billy, we has one hundred and fifty
in de school in Cartersville. Boldin and
Wood is de teachers.”
“Do they teach the whole school ?”
“Yes, sir, when dey both is dar. One
of dem lias to be absent most of de time.
He hab churches to tend, and he am dar
bery sildom. It is pretty hard on some of
us scholars, as de oder teacher takes up
all his time wid de ’vvanced (advanced)
scholars.”
“Do these teachers get pay for all that
crowd from the state fund, you suppose
Jacob?”
“God bless you, Mass Billy, course
dey do! What else do dey have ’em dar,
ef it ain’t for the pay ?” with a knowing
laugh. “Dey is alter de pay, tooby sure;
ha! ha!”
“How do you go to school so regular,
Uncle Jocob? Who pays the teacher
and supplies rations?”
“Well, Mass Lilly, dat’s de question.
I worksa leetle ot a Sutterdy. I could
arn eighty or ninety* cents most any Sat
terdy, and not work all d # ay, needer. Son
Jimmy is hired out, and his wages makes
it easy, tolable easy r , for me. He can go
to de free school and git his lamin’ for
nothin’, and it’s high time he was a
yarnin’ sumthin’ for me, for I’se over de
age for de free school, and Jimmy, he
ain’t. When I gits so I can read a leetle
in de Bibul, I’ll slack off a bit; and I
think 1 will git dat fur some time in de
cornin’ year. As I tell ye, I’se only been
gwine five months, now, and I jes can
read a leetle in de fust reader, but I can’t
make no sense at all outen it.”
“Well, L’ricie Jacob, it is likely, at that
rate of progress, Jimmy will have to
stick pretty close to work; and why
don’t you split the ditlerence, work three
days, at ninety cents, in the week, and
go to school the balance.”
“Hity-tity!” “You certainly don’t
link I can git an eddication dat way ? No,
sir; you must go regular! regular! If I
didn’t stick at it, when would I ever
make any sense outen de readin’ book?
It’s powerful hard work to read, and pay,
like Ido, de teacher regular, and I jes
wouldn’t mind it, no how, if I could
make any sense outen dat fust reader.
When dis free school am out, I specs to
do better. Bless God, dey is powerful
noisy. When I lays down oil de bench
to take my nap, dey r hardly lets an old
fellow sleep a bit. When dey is gone, I’ll
have a better chance, lor one of the
teachers is hleeged to ’tend to his church
es, and toder one has to ’tend to de
’wanced scholars,* and we backard ones
don’t git no teach in’ now.”

TIIE STATE LUNATIC ASYLUM.
The joint committee of the legislature,
appointed to examine the condition of the
state lunatic asylum, have made their
report. The committee appear to be very
well satisfied with the management of
the institution, and take occasion to men
tion in complimentary terms several of
the ofliceers. A brief description of the
buildings of the asylum may not be unin
teresting. A main building, ISO feet
long and 84 feet wide, is occupied by the
superintendent and other officers of the
institution as a residence. One each side
of this main building is a wing 186 feet
long and 42 feet wide. In the rear of
these wings are six other wings. Two of
them are 138 feet long and 42 feet wide,
and four are 132 feet long and 32 feet
wide. All of the wings are connected
with each other and with the main
building by r porticus, and are all oc
cupied by patients. The buildings,
with one exception, - are three stories
high, and that one is four stories. There
are in that part of the institution set apart
for males 386 patients, and in the part
assigned to females 395. As the plan of
the asylum only provides for the accom
modation of 510 patients, it will be seen
that it is now over-crowded to the extent
271 patients. This overcrowding is, of
course, to be deplored. There must ne
cessarily be a kick of that comfort and
attention so imperaitve to successful mor
al and curative treatment. Demands are
constantly being made, however, for the
admission of patients, and some of them
cannot very well be refused. The only
thing to be done is to increase the cape
city of the asylum as soon as possible.
This institution is called the state’s great
est charity, and in order that it shall be
that in fact, as well as in name, provision
must be made for the comfortable accom
modation of all the inmates without un
necessary delay. It is proposed to erect
to convalescent buildings—one for males
and the other for females. The one fe-
males is being built, and a conditional
contract has been made for building the
other. In 1881 the sum of $67,867 was
appropriated for their construction. It
is estimated that $33,847 more will be
required. When finished they will each
accommodate one hundred patients.
The almost completed hospital building
is half a mile away from the main build
ings. Tt is of brick, 150 feet front and
31 feet deep, having a centre building 10
feet square. There are two dining-rooms
in the rear, each 24 by 14 feet. The
amount appropriated for this building
was $0,364. An additional appropria
tion of about $2,000 will be required.
An amusement hall and gas works are
among the improvements contemplated.
The buildings occupied by colored pa
tients are two in number, one for males
and the other for females. They each
have a recess front of 114 feet, 32 feet
wide and two wings, each 84 feet long
and 32 feet wide. 4’here are various an
nexes tu these buildings, which increase
their capacity. There is anew building
for colored patients in course of con
struction. It will be of brick, three stor
ies high with a front of 375 feet, and two
wings each 271 feet iu length.
The width of the main building and of
the wings will bo ill feet. To complete
this building it is estimated tint $27,873
33 will be needed. The number of color
ed patients is 264—144 males and 120
finales. The committee say that to carry
out all of the completed improvements
$02,875 53 will have to be appropriated.
That the improvements are needed badly
is apparent from the facts already pre
sented. On the Ist of la.-t October the
number of inmates, white and colored,
was 87G. On the 21st of la.-t month the
number had increased to 1,072. At that
date there were 316 applications for ad
mission, which could not bo granted.
The report of the committee isoxhaustive
and satisfactory. It makes the duty of
legislature very clear.— Savannah Sunday

OUR RAILROAD SCHEDULES.
Rome Courier.]
We published two or three days ago a
letter from Cartersville, asking why the
railroads running to or through Home
did not make closer connections. To en
able us to explain this matter, we made
inquiry yesterday of railroad officials
here, and were informed of the following
facts in regard to the Rome railroad:
The morning train leaves Rome for
Kingston at the last moment it can wait
and be sure to meet the up morning train
from Atlanta. Should it remain here un
til the arrival of the E. TANARUS., V. & G. train,
it might miss the connection at Kingston.
The afternoon train leaves at 3 :30 for the
same reason—to connect with the after
noon north-bound train on the W. & A.
road at Kingston. This schedule of the
Rome railroad has to be arranged so as
to make a clofe connection at Kingston
either for passengers going to or coming
troin Atlanta, or those coming from Dal
ton, and, as the former are more numer
ous, the schedule is arranged with a view
to their accommodation.
The E. TANARUS., V & G. railroad company
have through lines in both directions
from Rome, and have arranged their own
schedules. We do not know their reasons
for making them hit any particular time,
but it is reasonable to suppose that they
arrange them so as to retain the travel as
far as possible on their own lines, as they
have a right to do.
