A Good Scgob^tion.—The following suggestion will meet geoeral indorsement. 'While tbe pruning knife is sharp let it be applied to all abases, real as well as imag inary, and everything be lopped ofl. Where there are no friends to reward, bunt some one up and give him a good slice ; and where no enemies can be found, imagine one. Tbe extract is from tbe Rome Conner : While the Legislature baa its hand in, let a joint resolution be passed inquiring what fees have been paid to lawyers, specifying by name tbe lawyers so compensated and enumerating in detail services rendered. Psuce for the goose is sauce for the gander. Let there be a general reform and not a lop sided aflair. 11l tempered.— Tbe sneers of the Sparta tshmaelde is a gratuitous offering. Tbe friends of Mr. Goldsmith are firm in tbe be lief that be is tbe victim of untoward events. It will be time enough for his enemies to borl their shafts at bira alter be bas beeo declared guilty. Till then, tbe law deems him iuooceot. Macon.—We are gratified to know that, after much discussion and coofusion. all dif- i fere Dees among the leading men of Macon have been adjusted, and a bill has been pre sented to the legislature which will relieve tbe financial condition of that city very much, Independent*. Old Jonathan Norcroea, in a recent inter view with a newspaper reporter, says: •1 think the independent movement has weakened tbe Democracy In Georgia, hut as vet it is impossible to tell to what extent. If the independent lenders (and there are among them several strong t»en) show good nerve, and make a reasonable exhibit ot patriotic and nntionn! sentiments, the Re publicans may, in the main, be induced to forego separate organization in 1880, and vote with them.” N.ow. whether these utterances are made by authority, or are mere ad coptnndum declarations. It makes litile or no diflerenee. It is utterly immaterial whether they come from Norcross, which is one extreme—Fel ton, the middle-man, or the Great Embodi ment of Ji flersonianism, Stephens—the other extreme—does not alter the case. There is but one conclusion possible, and thnt con clusion is that every stone will be torn d to d<*feat the Democratic party in 1880. Norcross is neither a prophet nor the son of e prophet, but his opportunities have been ample enough for him to kuow what ! will be attempted. “Among the Independ ent leaders there are several strong men " This is proven by the fact that in the last Congressional election two of the Districts were carried for men who are oow attempt ing to disintegrate tbe Democracy of Geor gia. Oilier facts and signs stand out plain as the sou at noonday that Stephens, Felton. Norcross. and the odds and ends of both the Independent and Radical parties will unite, like tbe Zulus of Africa in tbeir charge upon the solid ranks of the British army, in order to crush the Democratic party, and, It is to be hoped, with the same result. Straws will always show the direction of the wind, and while we ore no alarmist, we do warn the Democracy of Georgia of how the case stands. For the Independents to triumph is to relegate our good old State back to a condition little better than when Bullock held sway. For them to get into power would be to place Felton and his master In the Benate. For them to win the fight would be to take such a step backward as would cause the blush of shame to mantle the check of every true sou of Georgia. God forbid so heavy a calamity should ever be fall us. But these Independents (so-called, but Radicals in purpose and inteotion.) cannot, mast not, triumph. When the crisis comes 1 —and come it will—the gallant men whose votes rescued the State from Radicalism will again be found ready for tbe contest. From mauntaln and valley will be heard tbe rally ing shout, and as tbe first gun of the late war fired every loyal heart in the South, so will the reverberating shouts of Gordon, and Hill, and a thousand other trne and tried leaders of our party, awuken to duty every man who loves his Stute. We warn tbe Democracy in time to keep watch on its enemies. Tltey ore busy— working here and in Washington to carry Georgia in 1880. , . < . Indignant. —The irrepressible Thornton, in a published card, shoots double-pointed shot and shell at “scribblers who edit country newspapers In Georgia with scissors ” To Ibis “soft impeachment” Thk Wkkklt pleads not guilty. The editor of this paper gives the productions of his own brain, and not those of any one else. We can’t under stand why tbe Colonel should be so hard on us, either. We’ve never said anything with the deliberate intention of wounding the Colonel’s feelings. We may have intima ted, on sundry occasions, that he was a hull headed “plug”—a political nonentity—a bloody quail-eater—or something of the sort; but we never dreamed of his getting mad. Tbe Colonel is too sensitive. Tbe Comptroller-General. There is a thing or two, in the matter of Col. W. L. Goldsmith nnd the Legislature, that we desire to call to tbe attention of the public. |n tbe first place. Mr. Goldsmith has made the best Comptroller the State ever had. Hia administration has been capable, honest and brilliant. He ha* introduced reform after reform into the office, until it is doubt ful if there is a Comptroller’s office in the United States where the work is done so thoroughly, so promptly aud so safely, at so little cost and with so much system. In the next place, we believe that the fight made upon Mr. Goldsmith comes mainly, if not wholly, from a lot of speculators who have bought up tbe wild lands for specula tive purposes, and who have refused to pay tbe lawful taxes on them—not only failing to pay but resisting tbe attempt to collect them Year after year the taxeadueon this property have been kept out of tbe Treasury, while tbe taxes from tbe property of the widow and tbe orphan—from the little borne of tbe farmer, tbe atock of tbe mere chant, are forced into tbe Treasury. It was Colonel Goldsmith's duty to see that all property paid its just burden in the Treasury—that none was exempted, and now unduly oppressed. Desiring to be perfectly certain that be was right he asked tbe official opinion of tbe Attorney-General. Tbe At torney-General pointed out bis plain duty. Then Colonel Goldsmith went forward to do it. Finding certain defects in tbe law, be twice, officially, petitioned tbe Legislature to change it. This was not dene, and be pasbed forward to execute tbe law as it stood and as the Attorney-General construed it. An investigation was ordered. It was conducted with great particularity, and every avenue of investigation was explored. At length tbe committee reported and unani mously declared that there was not the slightest evidence that put suspicion upon tbe Couiptrolier-Geoeral. He came out of it without a smell of fire on his garments. But next we bear that he bas beeo guilty j of Lying to btibe a member ot the Legisla- J tore. The story ia this : Col. Goldsmith is informed that certain omissions or suppres sions have been made in the report” of tbe committee. He draws up a paper specify ing these suppressions nr omissions, and as serting that they have been made. Two members of the committee—Col. Candler and Mr. Maund—signed the paper, asserting that the specifications were trne. It was said’ that Col. Goldsmith had offered $250 and a «ui« of cholic* to another member if he would sign it. The report created great excitement. Bui at last the testimony io full was published and we must say that a grave charge never rested on a more ridicu lous basis. It appears that Mr. Hilltop Wright, who says be wus not in “hursrtor est moment*,’ while out on an cxcursioh with Mr. Dovi* offered him 8250 and a suit of clothes if he would sign the report. He swears that Mr. Goldsmith knew nothing o it. Mr. Goldsmith swears he knew nothing of it. and Mr. Davis swears that Wrght told him at the time of making the ofler that Goldsmith knew nothing of it. Thereis Hot the slightest evidence to connect Mr. Gold smith with the matter in any way. Nothing serious can evvr come of the charge. ><• The ti nth is. Col. Goldsmith has done bis duty, *Dd this will be made very plain to tbe people. His record is open to tbe inspec tion of the bnmblest citizen of Georgia,-aod-' be has nothing 4o conceal and do favor to: at-k —Atlanta Oaxrtte. •, , Jr ■■■! 1 Tiigerscll on Dr..Clark* The Rev. Alexander Clark, ol Pittsbo»Y, Fa , a journalist, and the editor of a Merh 1 odist Protestant organ, whose daith whs recently announced, has received mVst eulo gistic and tender tributes from the leligious press of the country. He died in Atlanta some two weeks ago, while lie was the goes' of Gov. Colquitt. As a journalist, Mr, Clark had been somewhat conspicuous for his zeal in combating the views of Col lngersoll, while treating that gentleman with personal fairness. He once visited him in his Peorin home, and in a published letter spoke in tbe very highest terms of the per sonal and domestic character of his illus trious theological opjtonent. Now that Mr. Clark is dead. Col, lngersoll has paid tbe following tribute to the manliness uud kind ness of the deceased : V THE REV. ALEXANDER CLARK. Washington. D. C., July 11— Upon the grave of the Rev. Alexander I wish to place one flower. Utterly destitute of cold, dogmatic pride, that often passes for the love ot God ; with out the arrogance of the "elect’’; simple, free and kind —this earnest man made im his friend by being mine. I forgot that he was a Christian, and he seemed to forget that 1 was not, while each remembered that the other was a man. Frank, candid and sincere, he practiced what he preached, and looked with h«l.' eyes of charity npon the failings und mistakes of tner.. He believed in the power of kindness, and spanned with divine sympathy the hid-, eons gulf that separates tbe fallen from tbe pure. Giving freely to others the rights that be claimed for himself, it never occurred to him that his God hated a brave and honest un believer. He remembered that even an infidel has rights that love respect ; that hatred has uo saving power; and that, in onier tp be a Christian, it is not necessary to become less than n man. knew that no one can be maligned into kindness ; that epithets cannot convince ; that curses are not arguments; and that the finger of score* never points towards heaven. With the generosity of an honest man, he accorded to all the fullest liberty of thought—know mg', ns be did, that in the realm of mind a chain is bat a curse. , / For this man I entertained tbe profoond est respect. In spite of the taunts and j-ere of bis brethren, he pnbliely proclaimed tbat he would treat infidels with fairness and respect ; that be would endeavor to convince them by argument and win them with love. He insisted that the God be worshipped loved tbe well-being even of an atheist, in this grand position be stood almost atone. Tender, just, und loving, where others were bareh, vindictive and cruel, he challenged the respeftt and admirs tine of every honest man. A few more such clergymen might drive calumny from the lips o( faith and reo der the pulpit worthy of respect. The hastiness and kindness with which this genflPt* man treated me never can be excelled He admitted that 1 bud not lost, and could not loae, a single right by the ex pression of rov honest thought. Neither did he believe that a servant could win tbe respect of a generous master by persecuting and maligning those whom tbe master woola willingly forgive. While this good roan was living hie brethren blamed him for having treated me with fairness. But I trust now that he bas left tbe shore touched by the mysterious se*\ that never yet has borne on any wave the image of a homeward sail, this crime will be forgiven him by those who still remain to preach tbe love of God. Hia sympathies were not confined wdtbini the prison of a creed, hut ran out ami over tbe walls like vine*, hiding tbe cruel recks, and rusted bars with leaf and Sower. He could not eebo with bis hetyt tbe fieodM|i»! sentence of eternal fire lo spite of bonfe and creed, he read “between tbe 1 nes” the word* of tenderness and love, with promises for all the world. Above, beyond tbe dogmas of his church ; humane even to the verge of heresy ; cuuiing some to doubt bL love of God because he failed to hate his unbelieving fellow-men—be labored ior the welfare of mankind, and to tSis work gave up his lile with all bis heart. Robert G. Inuersoll. Southern Women. The Richmond (V».) State, in a recent issue, says: The reported remark of Mr. Jefferson D ivis, at a press meeting in Mis sissippi, that be bad never yet seen a ••recon structed Southern woman, ’’ bas beeo tin cause of a great deal more discussion than its importance entitled it to, or the author had tbe remotest idea it would call forth when, iu a spirit of quiet humor, he gave it utterance. We all know here what tbe Ex- President of tbe Confederacy meant, and how very harmless was the expression, properly understood aud interpreted in its true spirit But even construing it as it has oeeo by our enemies at the North, and allowing it the widest latitude from their standpoint, it is, after aii, but Degutive. **••** But, gives its rood liberal uicaoiDg, what does the remark of the Ex-President amount to. and how far was it correct T Are there no reconstructed wotpen in the South ? We 'know there are, and very many, too ; in fact, * large majority of them are thoroughly re constructed, and accept a* fuHy the situation as nine-tenths of the men do ; but not in the sense of being changed in their senti ments as to the righteousness of tbe cause in support of which their husbands, brother*, eons or lathers fought, and for which so many of them died. The women of the Month find no difficulty in reconciling their duly to their country now with tbeir devo tion to and loving remembrance of the cau«e to which they freely gave their most precious jewels, and, while all perhaps teach Jheir. children to honor the memory of their fathers by upholding the justice of the quarrel io which they fpll, ypt they do not consider that in so instructing they wrong the restored Union to which they owe and acknowledge duty and allegiance ; and surely that woman would scarcely be held a good mother among anv people who should impress upon her children that their duty to tbeir country in volved tbe terrible alternative of cursing the memory of their fathers That our Southern women are very reasonably reconstructed, Mr Davis could have fot nd sufficient evi dence had he sought it by passing through the country and mingling promiscuously with ihe people. ***** Qur Northern, friends may restrain their anger against tfiis tqrrrble. army of Southern- women. We can assure them they are not conspiring to over throw the Union, plotting a Dew rebellion, or raising up children to revenge the wrongs of the South. Nothing of the soit; but, like true women, nre busying themselves wholly about the happiness of their homes, husbands and children, taking very little part in the discussioD ol tbe political que-tioos of the day. The Prince Imperial had on him when be died, besides the sword of Austerlitz. an other bit of historical flotsam in the shape of a fragment of the wool of the trne cross which once belonged to Charlemagne. Be fore its first imperial owner the histoiy of the sacred silver is doubtful, but that it be longed to pharlemagne there appears to be no question. It may have been one of the gifts which Haroun Alraschid with a singu lar catholicity sent to his imperial brother in the West. From Charlemagne it passed from one French King to another through the Carolvignian aud C.ipstruin lines, and after it had dropped from the grasp of “Louis Capet.” the guillotined monarch, it came in due time in'o the possession of the first Napoleon It has remained in the bonds of the Napoleonic family ever since, and the medallion which contained it was the only thing left on the body of Prince Louis by the Zulus. The proposal that bis body shall some time rest in Westminster abbey recalls the curious fact that the only other foreign Prince interred there is also of Corsican blood—the ill-'ated princeling whom Boswell champiooed, Paoli. Boots and Shoes From a Nkoro'r Hide —The Penny Prtss says that Dr. Schneider his taken tbe skin of a negro, which he has dissected, to the tannery situated on Frank Ijn si reel, just out of Columbus, where it is now being made into leather A reporter who examined the piece of skin found it cx tfepiely tough, and liable to do good service if pnt into gaiters. It seems strange use to nlake of Immunity's remains, though. The tanner stroked and twitched it and dilated upon its good qualities. Tbe process of tan ning is to rob it with a mixture of alum, salt, and eggs, which draws ont nil tbe oil from the skin and saves months of time. Perhaps a new industry is opening up in the city, and perhaps some of those who are perfectly worthless in life may be made to do duty after they have quit. Imagine tbe sensation, however, of ■ dainty lady caress ingly putting on a glove made from the skin of a darkey she wouldn’t baTe touched with out a shudder while in life,or of tbe thoughts that mu«t come to'a maid when she takes ofl ’kef gaiters at eight with the knowledge that even so small a part of a man is alone with her. Ugh l—Rochetter Democrat. Reply to Bro. Aslans*. Mr. Editor .—Bro. J. L. Adams won’t allow me to write locals, so I must address myself one time specially to him, and hope that this letter will excuse me from what Bro. A. culls this ‘wretched, irreligious un holy war” with myself. I haven’t been at war with Bro. X., and don’t think anything i hut I have written has merited such, a defi nition: Bro. A.says I turned loose tbe content* of my “theological artillery upon his devoted 'bead.” Bro. A. seems to lie devoted, but if my artillery has been charged it is not nn- Jaden ; for I haven't used ony theology upon riorwith him AH imagination, my brother. £ Bro. A. tells us be fights like a brave sol dier, and I think he is right. If bravery .consists any in persistency, he is worse than i,“Guy Has par’s” roan. “Guy’s” man did get satisfied with fighting; but we can trace . Bro, A.’s history baok for a long period through several aliases, as I am informed, jsucb as “James,” * X,” etc Latterly, he hus „,lound something so happyfving to himself, top toad for • X,” that he conies out in bold fbaraclera— J. L- A lams, of Oak Lawn— ' and is still trying to extend his conflicts, j Truly, Bro. A. is a brave soldier. Again. Bro. A. seems quite incredulous with regard to my statements. 1 tried to assure him that I was not unwilling for his and “X's” articles to be published. He says he knows I wj: from what 1 said, and sig nificantly asks why I didn’t allude to the articles oLG.waltney, Dicken, “Zuph,” and others I Why. it's out of my liue of busi ness ; but if I bad beeD writing letters, I might have alluded to it, and don’t think they would have taken exceptions, either. But U turns out that J. L. A aud “X” are one and the same person. Now, away buck yonder in winter be commenced giving us loog, earnest letters on “Information”— Nos. 1,2, 3, 4 and s—commencing in a very smooth, even-toued manner, referring to some previous copyings of Dr. Campbell’s sayings, commending Thk Wei-.klt, defining religion, etc. Now, 1 think we need re formation as a Christian people. I don’t think we ate as faithful in tbe practice of our religious precepts aud duties as we should be, and ought, by the grace of God, to try ■ud arneuj our lives and do better. And as a Christian ministry we should reform from all that is selfish aud formal and bestir our selves to great diligence in preaching the Word. But, as I said before, the Bro. was claimed as a convert to the Stuu,bliug Sioue cause, and frond, the brafifus* .of--his -eerk lettera, etc., I thought they justly claimed biro ; but they soon began tw question his fidelity, and before long it Is evident there is Keif in this reformation. The Bro- says, be fore be told near all he knew, that he was astoumled. and then attacks in a fearful manner a minister, (l don’t know who.) and savs be is onlyaine of the ten thousands of the same and similar schools who are “going up and down in the world pouring the wine of confusion and error into the ears of hun dreds of thousands of witling:listener*," etc. Not mnch reformation in this. /> He then take* occasion to urge upon us the thousand fold necessity of being irnmemfoT' in obe dience (he says) to a oommaod. (Why wasn't the great reformer more charitable and say “baptize?” A great many of us understand that term bef ter) Then follows the baptismal demonstrations, which Bro. A says was a very small matter—a Itjttle para graph scarcely as long as his finger. He I didn’t expect any allnsion to be made to any of ihese thing*. Now T should never have had anything to say aliout Shis “demonstra tion" if Bro. A had showed any inclination to pass it by Wonder why “Ppe Ccakj’s” .article of April 29tb esenped his notice ? I hope, if those mini-Aers had such a number of applicants for baptism, they didn’t try to make a parade"of it, or make an ' extraordi naij physical Cffbrt to accomplish the task In a limited time—cither to try their skill or* prove any probability concerning the ordi nance—'-and if they did get through in pine hours, that tbe ordinance was administered in a grave, orderly and ministerial manner. And. then, if the informant had just told us of the conversion of 2,222 persoos in India, it would hav" looked mure like the exhibi tion of a true Christian spirit, and one that all true lovers of Christianity would heartily commend. I hope they did not engage In any such irreverent exhibition of skill. But Bro. A. has very adroitly drawn this de monstration : There were six- preachers, he says, and it took nine hours to do the work. Then he demonstrates that if two could do it in niDe hours; or, if six could do it iu three hours, “theu it would have taken two hours,” etc. These were not the figures by your own showing .; it was six preachers and nine boors, and l have no doubt the poor fellows were tjred enough at that. So ’it wojld have taken the twelve apostles, ad mitting thnt they were as expert as those ministers, six hours and a little over four and a half minutes to have immersed the three thousand on the grand revival day. And now what does this prove? What evidence is there that these persons were immersed ? Bro A. simply says that it was possible they could have been, and then claims it as an es tablished fact that they were ! But time had to be very precious then, mv Bro There were numberless difficulties in the way. Remember, it was nine o’clock when Peter began to preach repentence, and when that sermon was ended be exhorted them with many other words, and performei many necessary duties, all of wpich took time. Besides, inconvenience to water, want of preparation, etc., retarded progress some what. 1 have heard of demonstrations of tbe kind before, but they won’t do. In conclusion, Bro. A. wants to unchurch me and Dearly everybody else because of the distinguishing names that we bear, My dear Bro., you can't inonopol'z! the church ner religion in that way. Many of the or thodox bodies as-umed that title long before you existed ; and tbe assumption of that litle of itself will neivci make you eminently the church of Christ. Again. He says f don’t preach the Word of God, because he understands that we bar,, tiie by effusion 1 Wonder if that’s all he knows abost ns? He certainly does not know that we recognize Christ as the only great bead of tbe chnrcb. and that we make Christ and Him crucified tty: great distinct ive burden of our preaching and that through Him we preach a foil and tree salvation for sinners, and tbat when we administer nnd partake of that solemn Sacrament of the Lord’s Supper the table is spread, and our hearts are open to all Christian people. No ; we baptize by effusion, and can’t preach tbe W ord of God 1 As 1 said before, I am not opposed to im mersion as a mode of baptism. We practice it as such. Very little if any harm would be done by this diversity of practice if none laid par.ioalar stress' upon tbeir peculiar mode. If those who deem it their duty to be immersed were just content to follow tbeir own convictions of duty, leaving others in tbe enjoyment of theirs, and vice versa, there could be oo barm done. The element is water. If tbe mode is defined I can’t find it. Bro. A. doubtless saw that I didn’t want to discuss this subject; but was determined to fasten it right oo to me and clinch it. He says “there is not a man living on this earth who can take the Word of God and show anything like authority”—mark it, anything like—“for tbe practice of sprinkling and pooring as Scriptotal baptism. No. not one.” Now, this is just what the Bro. has been trying to get at till this time. Why, my Bro., 1 am used to lhU—been raised up on it. Talk about trained parishioners, why, both in my presence and absence they try to teach it to my family, my neighbors and my congrega tions. 1 have never said a word on tbe sub ject only as I have been asked privately. And what shall 1 say now ? I can’t disenss tbe subject—haven’t time nor space ; but will say tbat I think it quite as easy'to show as much authority for sprinkling as immer sion. aud if 1 had time would cite you to the baptism of individuals aud families, some ol whom were believers and others not, etc. But ti ne would fail me to give you tbe ex amples which are authority here. If you receive not these, I can’t persuade you. i should suppose, however, that you are deter mined doi to be satisfied about tbe matter, judging from the violent manner in which you impeach Kiug James and his commis sion. 1 don’t think you willever get a Bible to suit you. Better reconcile yourself to our good oid Saxon copy ; it’s mighty good. W ilb this, 1 close my part of this corres pondence. if Bro. A. replies, i hope be will uot raise Dew questions. John M.
