Radical Slanders.
The following is an extract from the
epeech of one A. F. Dickerson at a meet
ing of colored men iu New York, in aid of
the negro exodus :
The Rev. W. F. Dickerson said that he
was recently in Georgia, and could say from
actual observation that the old oppressor
was seeking again to hind the chain® npon
the wrists of the black man. New York’s
voice must be heard, and it would have a
great iflfect npon them. What was neces
sary whs to move the sympathies of the
people that real sentiments should he
expressed, lie would not call op the ugly
memories of the past, hot (be South had
thrown down the gauntlet and they were
obliged to take it up.
- Eveq colored men will smile at this. It is
amusing to read such accounts, because it
shows the existence of a vast deal of inge
nuity, and of a very poor sort at that. Now,
we wouder wbaf that really good mao,
Bishop Camp' who has been presiding
over the Conferences of the A. M E Church,
would say to this. He has had an opportu
nity to see for himself how matters stand,
and he could do himself a great deal of
credit were he to refute the slanderous
utterances above quoted.
Nxw Road.—Lawrenceville has already
twelve or thirteen thousand dollars subscrib

If thi* system of railroad building contin
ues, everybody can go to mill on the cars
after awhile. Whatever may be said in
opposition to them, railroads are a wonderful
convenience. There’s no denying this fact.
Chandupr—A letter in the Savannah
Eevs hai ibis with reference to old Zaeb
Chandler:
‘•This great statesman is row receiving
■nbonnded praise from the Ridicale. Hie
speech on ex President Davis has taken the
stalwarts by storm, and they rally aioutd
f.'m solidly. Another cause of tbeir bestow
al o! bo much praise upon him is that he
cop verted Hayes to stnlwartism. Thus are
men mode truly great First thing they
know. Zach will be asking tbe Radicals to
make him theft next President.”
Of coarse. Every Radical boot-lick in
Washington is ready to howl, “Great is
Chandler, of Michigan 1” for two very po
tent reasons. First, because be ia liberal in
his gifts of whisky ; and, second, because be
has a large patronage in bis hands. Divest

Memorial Day.
Once more do we come to offer the tribute
of loving hearts to the dead heroes of a cause
that is lost, but which is still dear iu mem
ory. Once more we walk among the tombs
of men who won fame and glory amid th*
shock of battle. Here we pause, for the
earth we tread is holy, and the associations
call np and revive memories of a momentous
era.
Peace now sheds its gentle radiance upon
the lend. The earth no longer trembles
benesth the tread of hostile sqnadronß
marching in battle array. The horrors of
the late struggle between the two grpat sec
tions are buried in the mbbish of the past,
but the heroism of onr brave soldiers can
never be forgotten. The memories which
cluster around these will live in the hearts
of onr people from generation to generation,
and Will be perpetnated in poetry and in
song. Tbe battle-fields of Virginia and
elsewhere will become as shrines, and future
orators will tell in “thoughts that breathe
and words that born,” how Georgians fonght,
and how they, fighting, fell ar.d died. His
tories and school-books will keep the record
fresh and bright, and loving hearts and will.
iag band* will deem it a sacred duty to pre
serve these cities of onr noble dead inviolate.
For several years the custom of deco
rating the soldiers’ graves with floral offer
ings has been moat religiously observed, and
each recurring anniversary has but deepened
the resolve that it shall endure for all time.
It is an occasion when all should onite
in showing honor to our sleeping brave.
Not alone the sorrowing mother or wi r e, but
every frup-hearted woman will jon in the
melancholy pleasure of testifying to patriot
ism in adorning the Brave with flowpr*. And
not one should lie overlooked. When all
performed ell that mortal man could do, ro
distinction should be made, Every one who
matched beneath the flag of the Confederacy
and died in its defense will be remembered,
no matter how hamble or obscure. And
here we taka pleasure in stating that in
many parts of the State preparations arc
being made for the due observance of this
custom. There is no abatement in interest
or in a sense of obligation with reference to
it. To the contrary, there ia an incressed
desire to add greater z st to the occasion.
This is to be applauded. This added inter
est gives assurance that the spirit exhibited
by the founders of the Government lives and
burns si ill in tbe hearts of their descendants.
It attests the truth that Georgians admire
courage, and remember their dead sods and
comrades with reverential affection.
We repeat, let our fair countrywomen
especially, and those of the sterner sex as
well, unite with one accord in paying respect
to the loved and lost. They braved all,
“ : “ l * J * u - *»!! • unci wo fcoroant
to every noble feeling, to every lofty im
pulse, to every exalted sentiment, should we
fail in our duty now.
Bat this appeal is unnecessary The in
dications are too numerous that a general
observance will he given to the day set
apart for this special duty, and Tub Wpgxt.v
will take hearty pleasure in recording such
incidents as may be connected with it.
Sports.—The walking and shooting mania
seems to be oo the increase. Walking
matches, shooting matches, and base bull
matches are now being made op everywhore
There appears to he a .desire to see how far
b person can walk, how many bull’s-eyes be
can hit or mis«, or how often he can catqb a
ball in a given time. And the men are not
alone in all this. Women are coming to
the mark, armed and equipped as the regu
lations prescribe, and all spurt around, shoot
or catch with alacrity Yerily, the love of
outdoor sport must indeed be exhilirating to
enlist in its ranks such a host of frienda.
Blub and Gray.—lt is proposed to make
the sixth national reunion of soldiers, at
Cambridge. Ohio, beginning August 26, the
largest gathering of the kind ever held on
this coutinent. It will be a commingling of
blue and gray—veterans of both armies.
Great preparations are being made, and
many prominent meu of both sections will
be piesent.
A Coi.orkd Row.—Rev Frank Quarles,
colored, was holding service in his church in
Atlanta Sunday night when a row occutred
Just as he commenced to preach, a colored
brother from another church insisted upon
going opstaits against the remonstrances of
the officials of the chnrch. This brought on
the d fficulty, and the fu*s began, which is
thug described in the Atlanta Post.- “The
brother’s fine coat was jerked open and badly
torn. Then they ’weut together.’ Others
joined in the melee. Rev. Quarles shouted
loudly for ‘order.’ But order was impaled
on the point of confusion and disorder. The
congregation arose and perched itself on the
backs of the benches. Some of the benches
turned over. One of the sisters on the back
of a bench exclaimed, 'Jest look at em
honey,' and losing her balance, dived down
between the benches. One over-zealous
quixotic member of another church mounted
upon the back of a bench and folding bis
band, drew it back and let drive his fist
against a lamp. Tliis proceeding broke the
lamp chimney and scalped the colored gen
tleman's fist. The light from the lamp was
also extinguished The screaming and con
fusion was demoniacal. A piece of brick
came along and took a new hat from the
bead of one of the sisters; about that time a
wad of well chewed chewing tobacco struck
one of the best dressed colored ladies square
iu the face. Such scenes as (base were en
acied lor some time, but finally ‘order was
restored and the pastor proceeded with the
Retries, «nd baptised about thirty persons.”

Bible View of Heaven.
Having been accused of “stopping mv
plow in a hundred acre field to give a fellow
a tilt in a theological discussion,” I shall not
attempt ta deny the charge, bat will go far
ther and give roy views to tha reader* <£
The Weekly, should you feel inclined tM
give them to the public through your press"
I have ever contended that without a firm
foundation to bnild upon, nothing permanent
can or ever will be substantially established*,
and unless we, as erring and dying mortals,
studv and endeavor to build npon a firm
‘rock, r onr fond hopes will never be realized,
and we will ere long be nombered with the
traoagressor. And the first thing that ex
cites onr attention is that we are to leave
this mundane sphere and try the realities of
a world unknown to us ; that we are Imre in
a state of probation. And where shall we
go when the spirit shall break the bonds of
this day 7 Yes; where shall we go 7 Now
we want to know huw to answer this queS
tion, and base it upon the strongest founda
tion and best authority. Well, we wili be
gin to examine that wonderful volume, the
Holy Bible, Book of Books, and see what
God, tbe Creator of all things, says in regard
to it. In the 6th, 7ih and Bth verses of
Genesis, we are told that God made a firma
ment, and divided the waters which wera
under the firmament from tbe wateis which
were above the firmament, aod it L
and hrsays that firmament is heaven, in**
spirit world of ta-day, and God dwells therj.
and all tha spirits ol the dead there te re
main and enjoy eternal bliss or softer ever
lasting woe, ontil the last day—that great,
day of aS'iZ', when each and every one shall
be judged according to the deeds done in the
body—that is, according to their works.
Now that question. Where shall we go, is
answered : W# go to the heaven that God
made in the beginning, and we cannot go
any larther ; for the son! shall return to the
God who gave it, whether it be good or bad-
If good, to e'ernal bliss ; if bad, to everlast
ing woe. Do we believe this ? The Great
Author of all says this and it must be true;
but I do hoqestly believe that the great tnasa
of mankind, religious and irreligious, believe
that ihe Heaven ol to-day is a ‘ v iRt en
riched city, with streets of gold, and they
shall wear shining crowns of gold and long
white rohes; and moreover, golden slippers
on their feet.” Delusive dream I vain hope!
perishing faith I sandy foundation! And
that is not all; they l>e!ieve that heaven
that place of peace and purity, where God
dwells at d reigns, and all his saints assembly
to be bl ssed—is not where he says it is, btjt
have broken through the blue vault of the
sky and located it over on tbe other Ride, in
their wild tower building*, and I am sorry
to say it is promulgated irom our pulpits in
this day of modern wi-dom and science. 1
say that the holy bible is simply truth in it*
simplest form, und the heaven of to-day is
just as God says it is in the verses referred
to, and if correctly applied tbe space from
that blue ethereal .-ky to the lowest sand-bed
along tbe seashore is heaveu—the spirit world
of to-day aod the past.
Now, let us see if we can find nur future
home spoken of in God’s Word. I fear many
of ns will not find a very blissful abode in
our future home ; but ull who overcome tfie
world shall not only enjoy tbe heaven of the
past and present, bat also their future boot*
with a great inheritance ; lor Jesus. ( ! be
IJlM't. Illul K-UJ -p..',) »«ys. “I
go to prepare a place for you, that
am ye may be also” Yes; the Babe of
Bethlehem, the meek and lowly Jtsus, cruci
fied, mocked and reviled, says be must leave
us; lie must die, yet lie will not leave us
comfortless; that he will conquer death* hell
and the grave for us if we wili follow him.
Has he done this, or is he doing it 7 Doesn’t
be say, "Behold, [ made all things new K’
And these things are faithful and true : read
the 21st chapter of Revelations, from Ist to
Bth and the balance of the Book of
Revelations if you will. He has not come
yet; he lingers ; he is waiting for the com
mand ; but he will come as sure as time roll**
on aud tbe beaten that God made in Ihe begin
ning, together with tbe sun, moon and stars
and the earth, with the devil .and his angels,
shall pass away as with a great noise to attar
destruction—but tbe redeemed of the
shall be caught up unto God and bis throneT
and ;hut i;j the last of all God's former crea
tion, spoken of in Genesis. He will then
say, “It is done ; he that overcometh shall
inherit all things, and I will be his God and
he shall be my son ” Then what an inheri
tance we are to have L A new heaven and
a new earth, and God shall dwell with men
and be with them. Now can we not over
come the world ; for lie says, “To him that
overcometh will I give to eat of tbe tree of
life, which is in Ihe midst of the paradise of
God He that overcometh shall not be bait
by the second death.. To him that overcoat
eth will I give to eat of the bidden manna,
and will give him a white atone, and in the
stone a new name written which no man
knoweth saving be that receivelh it. lie
that overcomeib and keepeth my works unto
the end, to him will I give power over the
nations, (and he shall rule them with a rod
of iron, as the vessels of a potter shall they
be broken to shivers,) even as l receive of
my lather—ai d I will give him ihe morn
ing star. He that oreicometh, the same
shall be clothed in white raiment, and 1 will
not blot his uame out of the nook of life, but
I will eontess his name before my Father
and before bis angels. He that overconieth

Mr. Editor: —Asa matter of interest to
mauy ot your readers, I send the following,
which you will phase insert in the columns
of Tax Wkkkly :
D- Downee writes to the Christian Weekly
concerning the immersion of over two thou
sand couverL-i in lodia : “The people were
arranged in groups, according to their vil
lages. Only iwo preachers baptized at one
time ; when those were tired two others took
their places; these, in taru, were relieved by
other two, and so on. The bapl>zmg com
menced at about 5 a. m , and continued till
I#. It wag resumed at 2 p. m., and com
pitted at 6. It will thns be seen that the
baptism of 2,222 converts occupied two
preachers nine hours, or about 30 seconds
for each candidate. If the six preachers had
all been employed at the same time, the 2.222
converts would have been baptized in jnst
three hour# 1"
Now, if six preaehars ean immerse (as has
been actually demonstrated) 2 222 people in
three hours, how long woold it have taken
: the twelve Apostles to immerse the "three
thousand” on the memorable day of Pente
cost 7 Answer —2 hours, 1 minute, and a
few seconds!
In view of thin fact; what becomes of the
oft r»peated declarations that it was a phys
icil impossibility for the twelve Apostles to
immerse three thousand in one day 7 And,
be it remembered, that this is not merely the
unguarded charges of the uneducated and
' ignorant, bat one of the strong arguments of
learn d pessimist against immersion in water
as the only authorized “mode’’ of Christian
baptism.
Thus slowly, but surely, like all of God’s
works in human affairs, is this heavenly
truth being vindicated and proven beyond
the possibility of a doobt.
And if King James’ translators had been
faithful to the heavenly trust confided to
their keeping, and had translated ‘ B iptizo,"
instead of transfermg it, the Christian world
would to day, no doubt, be a unit on this
troublesome qneetion. But what a king’s
edict prevented is gradually being overcome
by tbe rulings of Him who is higher in wis
: dom, greater in power, and far above all the
earthly crowned monarebs In the universe.
So let it be. J. L Adams
Oak Lawn, Ga., April 2hf, 1879.

Feasting *>ii His Own Fun.
A recent libel suit in Moscow, in which
city the atrhor of a quarto volume whs sub
jected to a most ignominious punishment,
very forcibly remolds one of the inestimable
blessings enjoye I in a country in which the
i freed >m of the pres? is a guaranteed and e -
■ tablished right. The facts iu the case re
-1 termed to are as follows i.
In the above-named city a goodly-sized
book was published in vindication of the
subject. The work contained stinging sar
casms aimed at ilie venality of the officials,
with many satirical and humorous allusions
to bribe taking oud o’her iniquities. Even
the Czurbirn-elf was handled without gloves,
his acts were fiarlessiy denounced, and a
powerful argument was adjuced in behalf of
(be rights of his subjects. The mil-edmin
istration of law was set forth iu strong, plain
language.
The book attracted general notice ; but
this was bad for the author. He was ar
rested and thrown into prison, ifter a short
and summ ;ry trial his produc'ioo was pro
nounced a libel, and he was cod 'tunned to
“eat hisO'D words," or suffer the punish
ment of the knout This terrible instrument
•< torture is in the shape of a long whip or
scourge, ami is composed of many tough
thongs of thick, bard skin, plaited together
-and interwoven with strands of stout wire.
_Tbe criminal is stripped, and is 6rm!y bound
*»o two stakes, which are sufficiently wide
apart to admit the free motion @1 the head.
The blows are laid upon the bare back, every
Stroke cutting like a knife, and soon the
victim of the scourge is a shapele-s ma<s of
blood and flesh. One hundred blows is
equ.valent to a death sentence This was
t'be alleruat ve of the unhappy author.
The day flxed for carrying the sentence of
the court into expeutioo arrived. A plat
form was erected in ooe ot the public
(>< the ci’y. Bound band and loot, the vic
tim of despotic power was sealed in the
center ot the platlorm An immense con
course of people had gatberej to witness the
sfrange speciacle. The imperial provost,
the magistrate, the physician and the surgeon
ottheL’xrr were in attendance. The ob
noxious book had been sepaiated fium its
binding, and, as an act ot grace, the inargi n
had been cut off The leaves were then
roll'd up, not unlike cigar- lighters. And
tb-.ie they were—a basketful. Now the meal
began. Amid roars ol laU-bur from the
tgnoiaot ami degraded populace, the provost
served the author teat by leal with his own
production, putting the rolls of paper one Oy
one mu bis mo ah He slowly cbewed and
swallowed one third oi his book, when tin
medical gcotiemau concluded he had rtceived
into his stomach as much of the inuutiitiou
utaierial as was compatible with safety. He
was iben recouducied to bis cell to digest
bis meal, ihe two follow.ng days the same
scene was enacted, until every leal was swal
lowed, at.d as a matter ot tact be was com
pelled to li.erally eat bis own wotds and
least ou.bw own tuo.
No amount ot oratory, either printed oi
spoken, can d< floe, so eloquently as the above
incident, toe chief glory and crowning safety t
of a free ptess and a free governmsut. *
The Race Hrablea and What it
Involves.
Tbe races, their present and future rela
tion, is becoming the great question of the
day, in its moral, political and social aspect
It is a distnrbing question and always wijl
be in popular governments.
The question is sprung npon the Congres#
ot the United States all at oftce. from two
remote quarters, and appeals to Ihe states
man and philanthropist for solution.
Now that the slaves of the South are
emancipated, and tbe immigration of the
Chinese eannot be prohibited, the question
of their relation to the whites comes up in
its proper form for unprejudiced and wise
legislation
That there is antagonism between these
three races which, in the nature of the case,
d nies absolute equality, no sane man doqbtg.
Unlike that between tbe conquering and the
conquered races ia Europe, a* that between
the dominant aud successful Russians and
the unfortunate Poles, this antagonism be
tween the races of different color cannot be
overcome identity of intfrests or of reli
gion, or by any combination of circnm
stances
The commingling of these races as in
Mexico, where all three are lost in the
Monyrel Mexican, the Indian being ol the
same race of the Mongolian, is tbe moral
degradation, and tbe certain decline and
ultimate destruction of each as a race aud
all as a nation.
This natnral antagonism does Dot touch
the question ol Christian duty, so lar as duty
demands kindness and consjileration tor tbe
well-being of all God’s creatures. But tbe
question is: How ean that duty which our
redgiou and patriotism mpnses be best per
forated for the bemfit of all the racts uDd
for tbe security and continued prosperity of
tbe government 7
When the fanaticism which has roled the
country since the war is banished Irom the
halls ol Congress, and from the hustings, and
from the pulpit, and from honest men’s mind- ,
the real difficulty of properly settling the
question will be sten by all men. It involves
the txtstet ce of tbe republic, and demands
cautious and wise legislation.
A despotic government would dispose of
the question by consigning the inferior races
to perpetual serfdom ; but the people of tbe
Unittd Stutes are not yet willing to submit
to a despotism, and. we have to meet tha
difficulty as a Iree Chriatiau p*ople. — Green

Jim Keen*’* Career. x
Janies Keene, the hero of the late Chicago
wheat sieculation, «a« horn iu England,
where his father was a merchant. Commer
cial disaster overtook him, and he came to
America to retrieve his fortunes. Young
Keene had received a fine business education
in the old r< untry. and knowing ibit he had
his own foitur.e to make, went about it. He
was shrewd, brave, shatp. decisive and
dar ; ng. When once started in business for
himself, by the good office- of a banking
house, he did the street wntk for the house
that had assisted him. His quick perception
and dash wer- of such service 'o his employ
ers that they bought him a «eut in the San
Francisco board. Then Keene made the

awe. and he sitmed to possess tbe horoscope
of (Ko fntnrs. His *tv : e was mysteriou* and
dazzling. He knocked down uml net up the
stocks like nine-pins, and stagnation wa«
never known while he was in tbe board. He
was, moreover, kind arid gentle, though
somewhat reserved in manner, and was often
cheered when be made a brilliant coup. Mr.

beard even Fiord and O'Brien in their dens;
he denounced some ot their mines and pre
dicted tbeir downlall. In nn incredibly short
space of time his judgment again proved
correct, and he was registered am ng the

WITH AN UNTARNISHED
Reputation for Fair Dealiug r
THIS msy he called a fine speech by those
who have never taken the trouble to
make my acquaintance, or to study rov moda
.of doing business. Still, 1 don’t ask any
body to take my word, or in (act to be influ
enced in any way by a mere advertisement,
but cordially invite all tocHll and investigate
lor themselves, feeling sure I can prbve that
I mpan business and every word I say.
Fair dealiug helps trade better than fair
weather. Nothing but steady, low price*,
year in and tear out will create and main*
tain a trade such as I have had since 1 com
menced business. No need of argument—
prices alone tell the story.
1 have now in stock, aud will continue to
keep such articles as
DRY GOODS, GROCERIES,
BOOTS. SHOES, HATS, CAPS,
PLANTATION SUPPLIES,
And a varied aud choice assortment of
GENERAL MERCHANDISE,
Thanking my friends and patrons for their
former libei al support, I hope, by keeping
the best and selling as low as the lowest, to
merit a continuance of the same.
