There is so much sordid, mean, grasping selfishness in this world, that some times it is enough to discourage a good law yer—Ex. 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 potato—a bad man He is denouncer! by 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 o! all. Member of the House. Coiumunlcalod.l 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 Respectfully, etc, James L. Adams. Ouk Lawn, Ga , August 2d, 1879. New Advertisements. GEORGIA —Henry County. Ordinary’s Office, Aug. 5,1879.
