§he gritt (Citizen,
The Survival of the Fittest.
\ VVAV.NKSliHUll, (IA„ JANt AKYaiWI.
The notorious Fred Doug
lass, of Washington City has mar
ried a white woman. When a
white woman becomes so degraded
as to marry a negro, our sympathy
is with the negro.
Some two or three weeks
ago one negro caught another ne
gro stealing his corn, in Lincoln
county, and shot and killed him. A
jury of inquest pronounced it justi
fiable. Last week, Mr. W. I. Delph,
of Augusta, shot and killed a negro
fit the very act of committing a lar
ceny upon his property. Both the
law and public sentiment say he
did right. When these midnight
thieves learn that they take their
lives in their hands when they go
out to steal other people’s property
they will probably hesitate before
they commit a theft.
§JtF" For extremes give us Atlan
ta ilrst, last and always. That city
now presents a most anomalous
condition of affairs. The city au
thorities are proposing a reduction
of taxes, and the citizens are pro
testing against it. So much for
being blessed with wide-awake,
whole-souled public-spirited citi
zens. They are too far-sighted to
“kill the goose which lays the
golden egg.” Such city is a fit home
for such a paper as the Constitution.
What more brilliant representative
could any people desire to foster
their enterprises and represent
their progress intelligently than
this splendid journal ? “By their
fruits ye shall know them.”
gjGT Many of our exchanges are
just now commencing their most
important editorial notes with, “we
have just received ‘the Life and
Times of Joseph E. Brown.’ ” We
have not received the above named
work, neither do we expect its ar
rival, “postage paid.” We, would
like to see it. The main points
upon which we wish to examine it
are to see what his autobiographer
has to say about the Senator’s gal
lant capture of Fort l’ulaski, what
did really become of the large
amount of cotton which was in Liv
erpool at the close of the war be
longing to the Soldiers’ Relief Soci
ety of which Joseph E. Brown was
President, his action at the Chica
go Radical convention, and espe
cially how he managed to let the
Columbus prisoners escape from
the sweat-box in which he had
them so securely locked. We sup
pose his autobiograpliist is fulff
pointed and clear upon these sub*
jects. So far as his political trick
ery is concerned, we kivow enough
of that already.

The tariff question is looming up
in the political horizon, and we
fear has even at this early day cast
a shadow across the Democratic
path. We are no protective tariff
advocate. A high protective tariff
is not Democratic—it is unjust to
the people—it creates monopolies,
and fosters oppressions. Yet with
all these ugly features, it has been
from the beginning plain that it
was extremely imprudent for the
Democratic leaders to interfere
with this important measure at this
time when the success of the party
depends upon the cautious policy
adopted and pursued by our lead
ers. It was plain that every man
ufacturer of both parties would
combine, and use the whole power
of their vast capital to defeat any
party which proposes a reduction of
the tariff. We have, therefore, all
the time counciled the letting alone
of this question at this-time. It was
a terrible blunder to drag it into
the election of Speaker of the House
but our Representatives in Congress
seem to be about to commit a
great, a vital blunder, by insisting
upon a revision of the tariff. When
that is done the hopes of success of
the party in the next Presidential
campaign are completely extin
guished. The Radicals set this
trap and the Democrats have un-
witingly walked into it.
