The Contrast.
A. correspondent of the Philadelphia Timet
Writes to that paper ns follows :
“A« pertinent to the cotton spinners’strike
in Pall River, I contribute a fact within my
own knowhdge. During the past winter
some time a member of a leading Baltimore
firm said they would have to stop spinning
cotton aod buy yarn in the .'■ouiii, as they
cou'd buy cheaper than they could spin.
And they were bred to the business and
ttiemselves manage their factories. In March
and April last 1 was in Georgia and Ala
bama, and tbeu came to the conclusion that
the mills there could certainly spin yarn and
m»ke course cloth much cheaper than those
fourth could. The South has hue m Us, low
taxes, buys cottou from the wagons, has
wuter power and cheap labor. The people
in hall River are in fact iu grinding com
jietition wiih the darkey, who works and
Doaids himself for niue dollars the month.’’
W rong in some respects— right iu others.
If this writer has ever been to Georgia and
visited the mills iu Augusta, Macon or
Uolumbus, he certainly saw but few darkies
at work for nine dollars, or any other sum
fhese mills are operated exclusively by white
people, and so highly skilled are some of the
employees that no darkey could ever hope to
equal them. There is uo necessity for ora
lnoying them. The manufacturers in Pell
River are “grinding" against poor men and
womeu, and the competition is rnaioly be
tween capital and labor— that’s about the
size of it.
Senator Lester's Bill.
The Cathbert True Southron, alluding to
the bill presented in the Senate by Hon.
Rufus K. Lester, relating to the cruel treat
ment of children, very opportunely remarks:
“Such a law is necessary fo check ignorant
nnd vicious parents, who, under the influence
of liquor <>r a vitiated temper, not (infre
quently inflict terrible punishment upon their
helples- children. This step npon thp part
of Colonel L-ster shows the heart that's in
him. and if lie does not go to Cong teas or
get to be Governor in (lie next deal, be will
certainly be rewarded some day ”
Should the bill pass the Legislatnre, and
surely it will, it will do more for law and
good order than any other measure that body
conld pass. May ns hnve been inaugurated
to prevent cruelly to horses, mules and all
other beasts, yet until now no one has ap
peared to appreciate the fact that thousands
of children, and right heie in Giorgia, are
;far more in mod of such a law thau the
worse-treated brutes can be.
While we cannot allow our enthusiasm to
go to the extent of the line Southron, there
is certainly no desire on our part, to with
hold a large meed of praise to the distin
guished author of the bill. With all true
friends of enlightened humanity we thunk
Col. Lester for the humaniturian means he
proposes to invoko to protect defenseless
children.
We honestly believe the enactment of a
law protecting children from the brutal
treatment of parents und guardians would
materially change the moral status of society.
It would cause a revolution in the feelings
of children. It would build up hope, create
ambition, beget a yearning to be something.
It would turn faces upward ; it would en
kindle in the heart new joy—something many
of these men and women of einuller growth
rarely experience—and the result would be
that two roses would grow where only one
grew before—joy, where perhaps none wns
ever felt.
Children are extremely sensitive The
poor waif that shouts at early morn, “ 'Em's
yer morniu’ pap*’r 1" is often a diamond in
the rough. He only needs a good scouring
or rasping to came him to shine. But a
kick or a blow is a greatpr portion of what
he gets. Girls are no less sensitive limn
boys—often a great deul more so. They,
too, are in very many ca-es the victims of
harsh treatment, and hundreds have preferred
or sought refuge in a life of slmmc rather
than endure the brutality of those who guve
them being.
Much could be writbn on this subject,
but wc forbear at present, leserving lor a
future occasion some additional remarks
pertinent to the is-ue.
Venomous. — Here is how Ihe amiable ass
who flops his ears over the pages of the Le-
Murs (lowu) Sentinel views the people of
the South. There is no temedy applicable
fo his case, and hence all that can be done is
lo grin and beiir it. As he is over a good
thousand miles away, there need be uo cause
for alarm on his part :
“The Southerner can no more help being
a snvage than the South can help producing
rnttlesnnkes and yellow fever. At his birth
nature stamps barbarism on his brow, linr on
his lips, bluster on his tongue and cowardice
in his heart. Political equality between the
North and Sooth would be a burlesque on
government, and must always end in a trag
edy. The South must be disfranchised and
converted into u province governed by the
enlightened and progressive North or con
tinue to be a political and industrial rapist,
dominated by blusteiing barbaric chiefs, and
doomed to politicul and industrial ruin.”
That Exodus. Conway, the promoter
and originator of the Degro ex tdu-, is a small

those who know him as a fraud—an adven
turer whose conscience never troubles him
half as much as his creditors do.
Prom llie Capitol.
Editor Weekly: —A few lines from the
Capitol may he of some interest to those of
your subscribers who live of!' the railroad,
and have not kept up with the proceedings
of the present general assembly.
Since the last meeting the most important
meisures disposed of, or in any wav acted
upon, are, first. the Agricultural Bureau.
There was a bill before the House to abolish
that Department in the State, and the con
sideration of the question consumed several
days in the House, besides some time in ibe
committee room. The bill was ab’y dis
cussed od both sides Mr. Levingrton, of
Newton, made a lengthy and aide spei ch in
defense of the Department, and Mr. Smith,
of Oglethorpe, answered by a well preparer!
speech in favor of the bill. Still, the war
went on, until the House was torn in twain.
Upon the Goal vote the bill was defeated by
a small nmjori y
The next question was the Convict 1-ease
System—a bill to amend it in many impor
taut particulars. After mucb tlseu-sion,
several amendments to the original bill were
adopted, one of which was to strike out the
s ction providing for a physician at a <2 000
salary, which was a good amendment. The
bill was finally recommitted. When it comes
back for fiual action, I think it will be per
fected in such a way as will in., ke a much
better system than the present one
The next question was a special tax on
dogs for educutioual purposes. Without
much debate tbe bill met au inglorious defeat.
Then ca uc tbe ‘Bell Punch” bill, provid
ing ao additional tax on ‘‘ardent spirits”—
fixing a small amoout on each drink taken,
with a caleudar to keep the treat, and u bell
to souud the retreat, when parties indulge.
This was also for school puposes. Alter
some argument, for and against the measure,
tbe bill was defeated.
Ano'het matter before tbe House is the
abolition of the Geological Survey in this
cSiate, which, when dually acted on, will
pass, I think—that is, it ought to, us it is
an unnecessary expense to the State, and the
tax-piyers of Georgia are becoming tired of
keeping up offices and people that are of no
benefit to the country at large.
There is a measure pending to abolish the
office of Comptroller General, a!»o.
The Committee on Education are laboring
to perfect a general school law. One of the
main < ffbris is to enact such a law as will
shut out many officers through whose hand
our little school fund passes.
An effort is ulso being made to get a
more whole ome road law
There has Ihjph up to this time nine hun
dred bills put before the House, about sixty
of which have become laws. Just as we
began to think of hastening through, und
feeling hopeful of an early adjournment, the
special committee of thirteen reported a
resolution asking the House to prefer Articles
of impeachment against W. L. Goldsmith
Comptroller General, for high crimes and
misdemeanors, and the necessary steps hive
been taken lor the trial before the Senate,
which will take perhaps thirty days to com
plete. It is now likely that we will be in ses
sion until the 15th o September.
The impeachm nt ca-e will be ably rep
resented on both sides. No one can see bo»v
it will terminate. Mr. Gold-mith’s friends
scetn lo manifest no uneasiness and several
members of the Legislature think he did uo
intentional wrong.
The Lcgi-luturo is bent on economy, and
neatly every cflort lor tin appropriation for
institutions or for relief of individuals is de
feated. “Economy and reform” is the motto

Aii Obstreperous Mule.
Ills ADVENTURES IIAI'S AND MISHAPS —ACID
—another horse—t m and his horse —
RESULTS.
Macon. Ga., August 1. 1879
Hunt, llankin & Lamar, of Macon, are
the happy or unlmppy owners of a gay and
lestive animal of the mule persuasion. This
may amount to nothing, as u good many
oilier persons ulso own mules. In fact mules
ureas common as horses, or cows, or swine.
But everybody’s mule is not like the one
owned by tlie above named firm. There nre
few mules like him. Truth to tell, be has no
Counterpart, and it is a bhssed thing he
hasn't.
This is u dray mule —small, dark and l.rely
as u kitten, and a good deal more so at times.
His driver is a worthy rheumatic colored
brother, and they are not well mated, save in
ODe thing—they are both suspicions of each
other. There's where they are alike.
This mule is apparently just now in the
pride of bis power; seems to be able to do
all the work required ol him, and lo take the
world easy, save when he takes an idea into
his head that lie could do his owners a good
service by running away and smashing up
things And ho puts up u fine job whenever
lie attempts it. As u ruuaway be is a suc
cess. As a smasher of boxe-, ete., he is the
right mule in the right place.
Such un idea popped into bis head ODly a
few days ago. The dray was being unloaded
of carboys lull of sulphuric acid—a some
what ticklish liquid to handle. The mule
wus as quiet and serene as a summer sea;
But all of a sudden—sudden as the bolt
leaps from the cloud—the nude sprang away.
The sudden move upset one of the carboys,
and this, bursting as it fell, spattered its
contents on the mule's (links, still further
accelerating bis movements.
Once started, the animal got his back up
and just “humped.” A lew yards farther
he collided with an indoleut old horse that
was quietly standing under a shed, aDd
hero he unloaded nuother carboy. This,
like its predecessor, burst open, and
about a gallon of the fiery fluid being Sprin
kled over the sleeping horse, awoke him to
the fact that he was in trouble. A broken
buggy was now added to the list of damaged
goods. The mule, however, was on the
move, and went forward on his mad career,
conquering and to conquer.
Once in the alley lie was free, all save the
dray, which, like the shirt of Nestor, clung
to him.
Rounding the corner, he encountered an
aged colored woman. It was so sadden,
ueitber were prepared for the meeting, ar.d
but little time was given to meditating upon
the situation. The old woman, however,
incontinently made Hacks for J. W. Burke
& Co.’s back door, and as she tumbled head
long upon the floor, she yelled out—
“ Other refuge have I none !"
A crowd gathered. It was as good as a
circus.
On thundered the mule, regardless of race,
color or previous condition.
Standing on the line of murch selected by
the excited mule was a horse celebrated for
its staid aod regular habits, it was an old
horse—oue of tbe oldest in the city. He
had beeo tenderly cared for, and was never
known to go faster than a walk. In fart,
he pieferred standing still to anything else.
The owner was but little older than tbe
horse. His name is Tom. He is a worthy
old man, aud trusty. The horse is his sole
dependence, hence he treats him well. Tern
was waiting lor a load, and the horse was
perfectly williug. Indeed, he would unmur
muringly have stood there all day. But the
comii g of the mule—not wiih giave and
stalely step, but with flying heels, u of cav
alry in retreat—was destined to interrupt the
meditations of the old borse.and shorten bis
repose. Clash.'—the two draes collided.
T he horse opened bis eyes and looked round.
He took iu the situation remarkably quick,
and deemed it beat to git up aud dust," aud
immediately the venerable beast began h
forward movement. The old man, who wm
engaged inside tire store in fixing up his
load, hobbled to tire door.
“My Lord !’’ be exclaimed, as, in utter as
tonishment, he saw bis horse and the mule
disappear around the corner. He started in
pursuit, and might have hat] u long race had
not the horse run into a lamp-post and broke
a shaft. This halted him, and he was
caught.
Meanwhile the mule was busy. As an irre
sistible object coming in contact with un
immovable substance cau-ea serious conse
quences, so did the mule find that however
easy it was to knock down a horse and de
molish a dray, it was no easy matter to up
root a big tree or crush a brick wall. Fail
ing to elucidate this, he went on, and was
soon tumbled down, with a Imavy dray on
top of him. In falling he was so tangled up
in the harness and hedged in by the shafts
that he was held as fast as if a mountain
were upon him. The crowd yelled, and there
was a great deal of merriment at the time.
■ To make a bad matter worse, a prayer
meeting was going on in the church close
by, and this assemblage of pious souls was
incontinently scattered. Eich good man in
the church was of the opinion that it was
his particular horse that had cut up the
racket, and such a getting down stairs hu9
rarely been witnessed.
Wash, the driver of this unruly mule, has
been in bed ever since the occurrence. And
the mule should be there, too, from appear
ances ; for ever since the day be immortul
izd himself a more timid, docile and
humble mule does not pull a dray in Macon.
I regret that several persons were severely
burned with thencid—none fatally, however.
The injured horse, I presume, will recover ;
bat H , It. & L. will not recover tbe acid.
Tom and the horse are all right. The
carboys are a dead loss.
And thus ends the most amusing runaway
that has taken place in Macon for many a
day. Jas, H Smith.
Johu M. Tlruimaii Again, and
Finally.
Mr. Editor: —l confess myself truly puz
zled, not with argument from Bro. Thurman,
for we hnve had none of that—all accusa
tions, charges, etc., of what “Bro. Adam?”
has been doing with his pen in The Wkkkly
even away back to midwinter ; all of which
is as highly objectionable as the little
“demonstration, not much longer than nty
finger.” But what puzzles me so is the con
stant change of style in Bro. Thurman’s
composition, etc. I hardly get used to one,
and bpgin to catch the drift of his thoughts
by the words used, before be changes it to
another. First, lie wrote like a quiet, steady,
industrious farmer; then, a good old Meth
odist preacher; and now iike a cautious,
shrewd, sharp lawyer But, let this bo as it
may, 1 shall endeavor to DOtice such things
'in his lust that is worthy of notice,studiously
refraining from traveling over old gruuud or
“raising uew questions."
Now, then, to gratify Bro. Thurman's
xuriosity in reference to“Pre Ccakj's at tide
of April 29th,” I can «av I saw it, read it,
and would have replied, but it is not my
custom to nolice anonymous communications,
without knowing the real name of the writer,
lest I fall into the hands of a blackguard, or
something of the kind. True, 1 bad an idea
who the writer was, but did uot know for
certain, neither could 1 find out.
If you mean to insinuate that I was afraid,
I can tell you very plainly 1 was not. I
have no creed but tbe Bible, and hence am
free ar.d unfettered by the dogmas of men to
accept any truth in “God’s pure Word."
If “baptism by effusion” is scriptural bap
tism, why then I want to be baptized iD that
way; and if iramersiou is the baptism com
manded by Christ, I as heartily surrender
to that. So. you see, Bro. Thurman, I have
nothing to lose, but all to gain in accept mg
the truth.
I say it, and I mean if, that there is not a
man living on this earth who can take th-
Word ol God and show anything like divine
authority for the prac ice of sprinkling and
pouring as scriptural baptism. Aud I will
go further and make this affirmation, that
the sprinkling of water alone upon a human
subject was never no part or parcel of an
ordinance, in any dispensation, as authorized
by God. And whenever I have asked for
chapter and verse of those who practice or
advocate this man-made doctrine, like your
self they never have time nor space to do it.
Now, Bro. Thurman, you could have done
the cause you reptesent and tbe church you
serve a great and lasting benefit by taking
time enough to point to oue chapter and
verse in God’s Word where unbelievers of
families were bapliz d, and, my brother, you
ought to have done it ; for it wculd have
settled a question long in dispute, as well as
satisfied the consciences of thousands, some
of whom tell me plainly,-in private convert
eatiou, that they are dissatisfied with their
infant sprinkling and want to be immersed
in order to fulfill the scriptural demand ; but
the spiritual de-pot ism of pa and ma, sect
and preacher j'reveuls.
But I am here reminded that you say,
“water is tbe e'emeot, aud immersion,
sprinkliug and pouring are the modes of
baptism.” Now, I want—yea, challenge
you as a teacher and preacher, to answer
this oue question. If, as you 6ay, these are
modes of baptism, what then is baptism ?
Now, Bro. T., answer this, or else cease to
use the senseless phrase, mode of bapti-m.
The little thrust at immersion is ts about
going into your family and congregations to
teacb what they honestly believe to be
scriptural truth and requirement, sounds
rather graceless, Bro. T. Mark tbe lan
guage: ‘Why, both in my presence aud
absence they try to teach it to my family,
my neighbors and my congregations.” Of
oue thing I’m proud, and that is they have
the courage to teach aud talk it in your
presence as well as in your absence. But
one thing I am absolutely certain they didn't
do, and that is immerse auy member of yoar
family or congtegaiions aguiust then will, us
you sprinkle or pour (foi baptism) the poor,
defenseless, iuuoeent uud sinless little babes
neainst their wilt and wishes, and that, too.
without a shadow of authority in the Word
of God.
Pardon me. Bro. T. This thrust at im
mersionist sounds something like the one at
The Weekly for publishing “B o XV
astonishment and “Bro. J. L Adams’
demonstration-.* Toe WkeHly can publish
anything and everything, just so it doesn't
put the wottl immersion into its columns;
fnr if it does, right away it must be named
Baptist. (A proof that immersion and bap
ti«m are one and the same thing, at indeed
they me.) The country—our families, neigh
bo s, congregations—can be flooded with
t acts, .Sunday school papers and pictorial
Bible- representing John the Baptist stand
ing in the river Jordan pouring water on
Christ's heart with a horn. The fing ,i r of
scorn and ridicule .may be pointed at the
feet of a modest young lady as she goes dewn
into the wa'er to be “buried with Christ by
baptism,” and this is all right, fair and
legitimate. But doD’t you teach intnier
i sion !!
If I unders'and Bro. T. correctly, he never
says a word on bapiism unless asked about
i' prtv itely. What ? You a preacher of a
clmrch, “teaching tbe pure Word of God.”
and claiming to “recognise Christ as the
only greut head of the church,” and never
preach publicly the necessity of men and
women being baptized, when it is tbe only
law of pardon under the gospel dispensation
put there by the great head of the church
Himself, upon obedience to which the peni
tent believer is promised the remission of
sins am] the gilt of ihe Holy Spirit? Oh!
my Lord ! how are Ihe mighty (alien, and
the implements o( war perished t The great
10 ad of the church say-, “Go ioto all the
world, and preach the gospel to every
erea'ure. He that believeth and n baptized
shall be saved: ’ Mark, xvi: 15 16. This
is the solemn promise of the risen Christ,
and yet preachers dare not teach it publicly
to dying siuners for fear they may be called
“Baptists'' or ‘Cainpbellites.”
B o. Thurman, you misstate my demon
stration concerning 2 222 Indian converts,
that were ionnersej bv six Baptist preach rs
in nine hours, two baptizing at a time ; but,
of c uise, you did it unintentionally. Now,
this was the proposition : If six preachers,
two baptizing at a time, could baptiz' 2.222
in niue hours, they all conld have done it in
three hours ; nnd from this I demonstrated
how twelve apostles could have immersed
3.000 in one hour and a few minutes.
I’be caution to “remember it was nine
o'clock when Feter began to preach repent
enee” is, to say the least of it, altogether and
entirely one-sided. Peter preached the
go pel, and said as much about bap i.-nt as
repentance. He preached the resurrection
of Jesus, and w eu tbe people heard (not
! felt) and believed what lie said, they asked,
“What must we do?” Pe'er said. “Repent
and be immersed, every one of you, in tbe
name of Jesus Christ, and ye shall receive
the gift of the Holy Ghost,” ete : Acts,
11 : 37,38
This preaching of “inconvenience to
water” on that remarkable occasion might
have done mighty well away back in the
dark ages, but it is entirely ‘loo thin” now.
How could millions ol people live iu the
city of Jerusalem without an abundant sup
ply ot water? And lor aught we know the
apostles might have been in a "house” close
by one of the many pools that abounded in
that time ; and iu fact, are still there, as I
have Seen stated in a letter now b-lore me,
by an eye witness, who is now in Palestine.
Prof. McGarvey, oi Lexington College,
(Ky.,) ao honest, Christian gentleman, says
this of the Jerusalem pools : “Upper Uihou
—316 feet iu length, 218 feet wide; depth
in three d flerent places 19 20, 22 feet re
spectively. Il'Z kiah—2s2 leet lung, 126
feet wide. Lower Gihon—6oo feet long ;
average width 260 feet. Pool of Mary—loo
feet long. 80 feet wide, 27 teet deep. Pool
of Bethesda—36s feet long, 130 feet wide ;
a projecting arm 142 feet long aud 45 feet
wide; depth 80 feet. Virgin's Pooi—the
true Bethesda—measures around the side 21
feet 9 inche-; water stands in it 3 feet deep.
Pool of Siloam—so feet long, 17 feet wide
at its upper end. and 14feet at its lower
end; 3 feet deep.” Now think of the-treams
rannng out of these pools, aud O, the
water!
And now, Bro. Thurman, I am sure I
give King James’ translators all the respect
due them; lor a parcel of men who had not
the courage to translate bapluho because it
would come in contact with the then pre
vailing custom of effusion, is certainly not
entitled to any very great amount of respect.
You surely know that baptize is not a trans
lated word, but transferred. It is an Angli
cized Greek word ; or, 1 would aav, eupho
nized. No, sir, the whole Pedo-bapnst
family don’t dare to translate it. Turning
lo my Greek I xicon. now lying before me,
I find tbe definiliou o: baptidzo to be, -‘to dip,
immerse, submerge, plunge, sink, over
whelm arjd, upon my honor, “sprinkle”
and “pour” are nowhere givco as the mean
ing or definition. Why, Bro. T, don’t you
know that baptize is not a Saxou word ?
How, then, cao I be reconciled to it f
It is an admitted fact ilmt immersion was
the universal practice for the first thirteen
centuries of the Christian era, except in
cases of clinics, and this innovatio.. was in
troduced long after the last apostle had died.
Aud now may the Lord help you, together
with all good people of every came aud
order, to throw ofl the ecclesiastical chains
of spiritual despotism, and upite upou the
word of truth, with the Apostles and Proph
ets as a foundation aud Je.us Christ tbe
chief corner-stone, is my prayer.
With renewed ussurauees of the kiudest
of feeliogs, I am
