The Fight in A‘lanta.
The prohibition election comes
off in Atlanta Saturday, 26th, inst.
The eyes of the whale State, and i
perhaps, the United St.tes, are
watching the campaign as it pro
gresses. Cireater interest is being
manifested in this election than in
the one two years aco Over clev
en thousand voters have registered |
and are ready for business on elec
tion Jay. More ahusive langnage
has been used in the city for the |
last month than has been indulged
in during & previoustwelve months
end enemics have been made that
will last for vears. This issue has
divided the city of Atlanta and
the county of Fulton into two po
litical factions that will be the bit
torest - of encmies for years to
come. Horexfter, in Atlanta,
when a 4 man comes out for an of:
"o, tae question will be, ““was he
" or a prohipitienist in the
{1587, ‘
. cachers have taken a |
.nvent stand in the fight, and
the consequences are, that many, \
who were, at least, friendly to the
cause of religion, have turned their
hacks on the church and believe
the people of God to be hypocrites
unworthy of belief. Hundreds
who have hitherto been warm
triends will now pass on the streets
without speaking, and have a ]lfl\‘
tred for each other that will last |
tur life. ‘
The whiskey question ought to
be settled in Atlanta at the elecs
tion next Saturday, and settled
forever.

Au editor died and slowly
wended his wey down to where he
supposed a warm reception await
ed him. The Devil met and said:
“For many years thou hast borne
the blame for the errors that the
printers made in the papers. The
paper has gone, alag, for $1 and the
$1 also has often failed to come
in, The printers have bedewiled
thee for wages Saturday night when
thou had’st nota cent to thy
name. Men have taken thy paper
without paying for it, and cursed
thee for not getting up a better pas
per. Thou hast heen called a
dead beatby the passenger conduct-
Ors when thou hast shown thy anns
ual pass to their envious gaze. All
these things thou hast born in
gilence. Thou canst not come in
here.® And he fired him out,
murmuring as he did so: “‘Heavs
en is his home, and besides it we
had let him come in here he'd have
been continually dunning his
delinquent subscribers, and thus
created discord in my kingdom.®
Moral: If you doun't see what

Life seems hardly worth the livs

There are now about thirty gourds
upon the vine, and some of them
that have been picked hold a gals

The People of Atlanta are so
excited and enthusiastic over the
Prohibition Campaign that they
prefer attending a meeting of their
party to going to the operas and

Eprror News: ‘
: I promised yon |
before leaving Dawson that I
would write to you from the!
“Lone Star” State and tell you |
something of my trip. i
Well to star! at the beginning my |
friend Tnmau and I lett Dawson at |
3:40 o’clock last Monday morning |
with tickets for Montgomery, Ala, |
Avother Dawsonite was aboard |
and bound for Eufanla. He want-%
ed to know our destination, T]
promised to tell him if he would |
agree not to ask any more ques- |
tions, He promised not to ask |
any more and I told him San An- l
tonio Texas. He sat awhile with—
out saying anything but finally afs%
ter his patience had given out hef{
breke the monotony by siying: ““I
vill give you a cow and a calf if"
you will tell me what you are zo
ing to Texas for.” It was not ‘
many minutes before he wanted the |
correct railroad time. I gave it tol
him. He took out his knife and
prizing the face oft of his Wntepi
bury watch bhegan to move the
bauds sround. About this time
the train was nearing the Eutaula |
station and shook the owner of‘
the Waterbury go that he stuck!
his knife through the face of the !
watch. 'The consequences you
can imagine. He had no bageage
when he got aboard at Dawson,
but when he got oft it took the
conductor, two train hands and
myself to land him and the Water
bury wateh, winding chain &e.
At Montgomery we bought ticks |
ets direct to San Autonio, Noth—‘
ing transpired on the way that
would interest your readers unless
ithe the mamer in which we
crossed the Mississippi river.
When we reached there the train
}Un which we were riding instead of
‘going over a bridge just ran on to
a steamboat and was carried
across to the other side where it
pulled out and got on the track
} again. From New Orleans to
Hcusten, Texss the train was
crowded with English emigrants
going West in search ot employ—
ment. Near Houston on the Bras
w 3 river there are some of the
finest farming lands it has ever
been our pleasure to behold. There
is no telling bow much it would
make to the acre.
We arrived at San Antonio at
6 o’clock Tuesday afternoon, hav
| ing been on the road about 38
hours, and took a bus for the
Southern hotel where we ate a
splendid supper, and being worn
out with traveling' we were soon
in a comfortoble bed and dreaming
of our far away home. We arose
early next morning and got break
| fast and as we came here to tuy
' stock we soon started out in ¢ime
pany with Capt. Smith and G F
Oliver and saw several droves but
did not buy. My friend Inmaa
went with another gentleman.
When he got back that night he
‘told me that he never was so tired
of anything in his life as he was of
the Mexican language. Every
time he and the gentleman with
whom he was riding would meet
any one they would converse in
the Mesican language. He
did not know whether they
were tallkiing about murdering or
robbing him. Said he: ‘they tell 1‘
me that thereisa Mexican railroad 1‘
here ” About this time a mule—
something like unto Capt. Alexml-é
der's town clock gave a whoop
when Inman asked a man near by |
if that was the Mexican train just '»
getting in. The next day (Thurs
day) we went out with Messrs, 1
Addington and Price and bought,
To all of these gentlemen we are
under many obligations for favors
shown us. And these are not the
only clever people we met for every
one with whom we were thrown
seemed to take a pleasure in mak
ing us feel at home and have a
gooc! time.
After we bought our stock
friend Inman began to sing.
Goed old Georgia, happy land,
I am going back to Georgia if
I can.
This was the first time that T had
ever heard him smg and I knew he
had made up hismind to go home.
He went and afterhe was gone I
wen! to a Mexican restaurant in
company with Messrs, Joe Wilson
and G F Oliver. [ had ss fine a
meal as I ever sat down to.
I ate all manner of dishes but the
one that struck my fancy most was
some kind of sausage done up in
corn shucks, I tried to eatshuck
and all but seeing my companions
laughing at me I soon caught on.
We had some kind of hash that
was 80 hot with pepper it would
make an ordinary man cry if he
happened to he walking along the
street in front while it was being
served. My companions ate it
with as much “‘sang froid” as I
would takea drink of water. Ij
looked at them in amazement and
could only come £o but one conclu- i
sion that the peapla of Texas were
made with toucher intern:\lyimsl
provemets than a pative Georgim
and were better able to stand the l
fire. Througzh the kmdness of Mr. |
Y P Oliver I had the pleasure of |
meeting Capt Cree Taylor one of|
the oldest iahliabitants of the
state. Ile was the first man to

by the Mexicans under General

The Index anl Dr, Tucker.
The secular press and the Bap
tists of Georgia,have had much to
say about the removal of Dr.
Tucker from the editorial position
of the Christian Index. I do not
propose, in this communication, to
Jjustify them in the act, because I
do not know the circumstances that
actuated them in the premises, but
Lot the cause be what it may, they
‘had th> proprietory right to con
-1 trol the matter for the best interest
of the Christian Index, and for
l the cause of the Baptist denomina,
tion at large, and a perfect right
'to rémove Dr. Tucker from the
position he oceupied without con
! sulting his interest.
~ The Georgia Baptisc State Con~
vention I understand, turned the
management of this, their denomi
national organ, over to the present
owners, Mess. Harrison & Lawton,
with a promise to help sustain the
paper, they, -the owners, taking
the risk, whether the investment
paid or not, and under their mans
agement it has grown in interest
and I trust, has been the means of
accomplishing much good and was
the pride of the denomination in
Georgia. Now, for sooth, because
a favorite has been removed from
a high position on the editorial
staff, some of the leading Baptists
of Georgia are passing resolutions,
denouncing the action of Mess,
Harrison & Lawton and retusing
to take their denominational organ,
which sustains the Baptist cause in
Georpia.
Will the Baptists of the State
suffer their predjudices to blind
them and let this oune act of the
proprietors of the Index, cause so
much bickering and ill will as to
injure the cause that they so much
espouse.
All arve willing and ready to ad
mit the ability of Dr. Tucker as a
reasoner and writer, no man in
Georgia is his superior in point of
talent. And oh, how the E:xptist
people of Georgia and of the South
did love to read his articles, a .d
how much he loved to advocate and
defend the peculiar principles and
doctrines of the denomination, and
the vast amount of influence the
paper was wielding under the lead
ership of this good man. I say
when we take into consideration
all these things, we too, are sorry fi
of the removal. But we are un
willing to give up our favorite or- |
gan and denounce the action of,
the proprietors for doing a thine, |
that they, in their judgement,
shonuld think best for their interest, |
and for the interest of the Baptist |
cause in the South. ;
We do not see the condition of
things from the same standpoint |
that they do, perhany, if we di.l,]
we would take a diffsrent view of |
the matter, and not ast so hastily |
in denouncing the action of Mess. l
Harrison & Lawton. Therefore, it%
is to be Loped that, those who hzlve[
acted prematurely, that is, those;
who have taken action in the prem- |
ises without prayerful and mature
consideration, would stop and re= l
flect upon the amount of good or |
evil that the action that they have |
taken would produce upon the
cause, that they love so much.
New, what will you do; drop the
Tndex and adopt some other relig
ivus journal, or will you hold on to
the organ, that you and your fath
ers have solonz tried to build up
as a State denominational medinm
for the mutual interest of all the
Baptists of Georgia,or do you think
more of the interest of Dr. Tueker
than you do of the interest of your
denomination.

A CASE OF RECEIVERSHIP.
The Business Transacted in the
United States Courts Yesters
: day.
In the case of Bernheim Bros.
& Uri vs. Mimmsetal- the fol
lowing proceeding were had yesters
day:
This is a creditor’s bill removed
from the State court and cme up
some two weeks since on a de.
murrer to the jurisliction of the
United States Court. The de
murrer was overruled and the
receivers were ordered fo pay the
fund (amountinz to some £3,000)
into the re:istey of thocourt. The
case was referred 1o a master for
report and the examiner com
menced to take aldvicoe. The veceiv
ers and the attorneysfor detend
ants and th> attorney fHr §rma of
the plaintilfs conslulal to dismiss
i the ease and ke some kind of an
agreement te thut effest. - Imztead
' of obeying the ezdor of the court
the receivers went oaand dis
bursed the funl anl notifal the
clerk of the ¢ urt of their action.
This method of sctiling ezses haid
‘never be'ore Geen adepted in the
United Stass ourt and whes the
communication of the veeivers to
the clerk was brourht th th: no.
‘ tice of his Honor Judra Shaar he
‘at onee directela rule to be issured
lag:finst the raceivers to show cduse
' why they had not obeyed the order
lnt the court. The reecivers in
their answer repliel that they
! thought the attorneys hat a right
to sottle the caze, and that they
' had been guided in their action by
the advice of the lawyers. His Hons
;or held that a veceiver could only
i:mt by direction of the court, aud
‘that the payment of the fund in
their hands aceording to agreement
of couneel did not relieve them of lis
ability. The court stated, how
ever, that he would approve the
seitlement with the reservation.
that if hearafter it was found out
that any craditor had been left out
in the cold to see that they were
warmed at the exense of the re~
ceivers. Upon this turr of affairs,
the receivers considered that they
would obey the order of the court,
and at once proceeded to pay the
tund iat) the rezistry of the court.
It hassinee transpirad that there
are probably other ecr-ditors, and
time will be given them to become
parties to the bill,
The case will now take the courss

reported on by the master and
