A short time since wo placed In tho hands of a college boy a very comprehen sive work upon protection and the indus tries or the country, the same being the proceedings of the late tariff convention held in New York. The pamphlet con tained the speeches of men representing every producing interest in tho United Slates, and more information upon tho protective tariff than can bo found in any one publication extant. In accepting the work, tho young man remarked: “This is in direct opposition to what we are taught at college. Oar text-books there are free trade works.” The reply awakened train of thought which has led tu to the conclusion that much of a vast fund of ig norance, if we may be allowed the term, which obscures the very question in which of all others the rising young men of the country aro most interested, is ao- cummulated in just this way. To every work written upon free trade of any depth, there have been furnished by practical men auswera which completely explode tho theory taught. Statistics have been produced and failures instanced to disprove the maxims advance^— nay, even from the mouth of the apcAe of free trade, Adam Smith, have Own taken statements which destroy the foundation of the pretty castle built upon his utter ances. Still, in these colleges the old text books are adhered to, and the youth ful nr ind trained to run in the well-worn grooves. No effort is mado to place before the student both sides of the question. The magnificent arguments uttered by leading statesmen in Congress, tho terrible array of events and statistics, the commercial history of this country now at the height of prosperity under a protective lariff.-all these are ueglected, and the dull exploded maxims of theorists substituted. Why this is, probably the reigning professors themselves cannot tell. Still the fact re mains, that free trade is taught in the large majority of^our colleges; is taught as the true political economy, while in no country under the sun fees free trade ex ist. The remedy lies in the hands of the people who desire to advance. They must demaud that both sides of the ques tion be brought forward; that the com mercial aud finaucia’ history of this coun try be placed in the students’ band; that when the lecturer advances the ar guments of free trade, he shall aUolurnisb the facts of protection. We do not mean to say that this evil is confiued to the South. It is as general as is the com plaint against it. The Chicago Journal treats ot it in a recent issue, and suggests a reform. Says the Journal: The lotea Slate Register calls public atten tion to a subject which concerns the rising gen eration and the future welfare of the American people. An Iowa farmer, who has two sons just ready to enter college, wrote to the editor to ask to what institution he could scud the boys where the heresies of free trade would not he taught to them as a part of their education. What success has resulted from his Inquiries Is not stated, but it is proba ble that he is still on the lookout, for it is true, as the Register states, that “the most of the Eastern colleges of the United States, nearly all ot which were founded on subscriptions and kept strong by endowments of wealthy .men who were themselves among the most ardent of protectionists, arc the strongest and most ram pant free trade colleges in America. In the West, too, this is true as to some of the colleges that arc teaching the doctrines of free trade and calling It the only sound doctrine of jiolit- ieal economy.” The Register might hare added another fact for the cdllication of its rural friend, though it would only increase his embarrassment, and that is, that nearly all the mo^extensivcly used text-books on political economy in our schools and colleges are full of free trade theo ries. It is through these British-inspired books, and through the instruction given by these col legos, that the opinions of the young men of the country arc formed on a most important question, affecting the progress of the country and the wealth of the whole people. None of these books were written by prac tical or successful business men, but by mere theorists, who are like Josh Whitcomb's boy, who was de clared to Iks such an accomplished arithmeti cian that “with a slate and pencil he could tell what corn would be worth two yean from now.” Men who have been paupers all their lives can write fluently upon “the wealth of nations,” and instruct other |M-oplc how to make money by neglecting their own resources and manufacturing interests, and buying “where they can buy tlie cheapest. Public attention needs to be called to this condition of things, and the evil—for a great evil it undoubtcdl/ is can only be remedied by a correct and decided public opinion. If the college nearest home is found to be teaching these radical errors in sped to a question of vital interest to the whole people, it should lie shunned, and some one patronized that docs not indoctrinate the graduates with false and pernicious theories. It will doubtless be found, upon a more thor ough examination into all the facts connected with #xt books In our colleges and tho opin ions of the professors on the subject, that the free traders are dclilierately and studiously poisoning the very fountains of knowledge on the subject of industrial and commercial econ nmy; In other words, that the colleges of Amer ica are being used by the free trade missiona ries as a means of undermining the “American system” of protection, for the treueflt of the British manufacturers and the New York im porter*. General Conference of tlie M. K. Church, South The general conferet.ee of the M. E. Cbutch, south, will hold its regular quad rennial session at Nashville, opening on May 3. The sessions generally continue from three to four weeks. This Is tho law making body of the church, as well as the highest court of appeal. There aro aorne questions of vital Importance for final ad judication to come belore it at this ses sion. These subjects are now being vig orously discussed in the denominational papers, and writers take a wide range. Even in the columns of the secular press many of the leading questions aro being discussed. The growth of this denotr.ination has poifeclly confounded those who a few years ago thought it would be disinte grated aud finally absorbed In the North ern branch of the church. They num ber over 800,000 communicants, embrac ing some of the wealthiest and moat cul tured people in the South. Their educa tional facilities excel those of any other denomination in the'South. It was not until 1800, at the general conference In New Orleans, that tbU body admitted laymen into their various conferences. The lamented Dr. Myers, formerly of this city, was chairman of the committoe on changes, and one of the champions of this measure. Many were fearful that tho laymen would be too hasty in working changes in the polity of the church, but experience soon demonstrated that they were tlie comma! i7e element of the body, and their conduct has verified tho wisdom of these who pressed the meas ure. This body meets every'four years, to review, to organize measures, aud lcgis- -. n nutters vital to tin vic.-.-m „r I In wimt all church enterprises. It Is c which It actually enacts. Just before these quadrennial sessions a host of news paper doctors appear with infalliable rem edies for all the defects and irregularities that seem apparent to them. And mem bers of this body, like members of our Legislature, go up loaded with measures to be introduced and acted upon. For tunately, for the good of the church, there Is a “Botany Bay,” wnere most of them find a resting place. The most Important measure to our mind to be brought before them, is not the election of bishops as some of our contemporaries think, bat is the reorgani zation and enlargement of their missiona ry enterprises. Their principal missionary | stations are in China, Mexico and Brazil. Tho demand for men and money is be yond anything ever yet undertaken , by this denomination. To meet this, it will take wise legislation and prompt action. Taking it altogether in its bearings, it _ tfe vital question before the coming ses sion. There will be need of three cr four new bishops. Since the last general conference Bishops Doggett and Wightman have died, Bishop Paine, the senior ot the board, is “In feebleness extreme.” Bishop Pierce has been somewhat disabled, but has done all of bis own ;vork and assisted others. The remaining three Bishops— Kavanaugh, McTyeire and Keener,—aro abundant in labors. But tho expansion of the work will demand more general superintendents, and hence three or four more bishops are a necessity. These can easily be supplied and not bankrupt that denomination cither. Tlie question of the office of presiding cider, and tho suffix “South,” which mauy seem to be laboring to get ri<J of, will no doubt remain just as they arc aud do no great damage either. Other and more im port ant matters will* engage the members of that intelligent body. Tlie aiedleal Association or Cieorsla. The thirty-third annual seuion of tho Medical Ass relation of Georgia will be held in Atlanta on the 19th instant. The members of the profession in that city aro busily engaged in perfecting arrange ments to make the occasion one long to be remembered in medical circles, and to this end will provide for two hundred guests. The meeting will he one an which business and pleasure are to balance cacli other. Scientific papers will be furnished, views exchanged, and around the social boardold times and new will be discussed We are always glad to see the doctors take a holiday. A harder worked set of n^it do not exist. Their hours of busi ness extend through all of the twenty- four and every day of the year. Dow they manage to preserve temper anti health throughout the endless strain up on them is a mystery. That they do maintain them the personal experience of every man will substantiate. Let every physician in the State go up to the ses sion, rub off the'corners of errors, perfect their truths, exchange remedies, enjoy their frolic aud shake off for a brief space iall responsibility. With what medicines we have in hand, and our old lady doctors to administer them, we ought to be able to hold out for three days at least. prevents ikan in nous that As Wc Are. We copy in another column, from the Atlanta Constitution Of Sunday last, letter written at Atlanta for the Cincinnati Commercial. Our.Georgia contempoiary reproduces this communication without omment. We have some to make in con nection with it. We do not deem it neces sary to go to the aid of “Bill Arp.” He is quire competent to take car: of himself as sgainst “Jayhawker,” or any other per son who feels disposed to insult and sueer at him. Oar attention is directed to the matter in behalf of the people of Georgia, who are villiauously slandered, without opportunity to be heard in their own vindication, save through the Press. Under the convenient aud not unusual cover of a conversation “with an intelligent Northern man,” this writer assaults Southern nren and South ern civilization, in a style which we have nut seen since the days of military occu pation agd reconstruction. From the tone of the letter, and the promise giveu at the close to write up the moonshine troubles in relation to State politics, it is plain that the mission oi “Jayhawker” is in entire sympathy with the new move ment the present administration has ini tiated in the South. A better se lection for a writer of this class than “Jayhawkei” could not have been made, nor could a worthier receptacle be found for the circulation of his work than the Cincinnati Commercial. There is a peculiar fitness in the man and the journal. During the late Cotton Exposi- ion the politeness oi the people ol Georgia was tested to the cxlremcst limit. Under the coaching of Kimball and in the pres ence of the chief executive qf tho State, they were compelled to listen to lectures upou their manners, habits, public and social Hie, and tbeir past bistory, which went to the quick aud brought the flash of resentment to tho cheek on more than one occasiop. These things repro duced were made tho themes of epistolary aud editorial com ment until it bccamo a question of how long good-natured courtesy upon tlio part of the host could stand the bad manuers and impertinence of the guest. It would seem that the tlmo had come to draw the Hup. We take occasion to say that the con versation, real or imaginary, as detailed by “Jayhawker” is a slander upon the people of Ueorgia. As it stands !u solid type to speak for itself, this cannot be gainsaid. Upon our own responsibility, we assert that be who said it is a liar, aud a econndrol besides. Tlie Cincinnati Commercial, whoso columns are daily recking with tho de tail* of the bribery and corruption caso in the present Legislature of Ohio, whoso editor was one oftlie first to givo tho public tlio as saults on the character of Garfield, who finds in John Sherman a man recently convicted of pilfering the United Stales treasury, aud bribing a subordinate to •lander a- gentleman, a typo of Northern excellence Is tho proper medium to re ceive aud distribute tho slanders of its hirelings upon living and doad Georgians. This “Jayhawker” has spout considera ble tlmo about Atlanta. He is a frequent, aud it Is _to lie piesumed, a wolcomo guest at tlie Constitution office. Ho has bad tho highest and beat opportunities to learn the real condition and sentiments of tho men and women or tho South. It is represented to us that ho is in tho em ploy ortho company whichJs constructing the roads in tirorgia, which are embraced is properly known a* iho “Colo syndicate.” it lx to be presumed that tlio g'Mitlcm n w)i‘> ato innking Un-sr Im provements are not doing it for amuse ment alone. They expect to reap some substantial revenues from their invest ments. Georgia has not been niggardly in meeting their enterprise. She grautod them a charter which seriously shocked her own great property. The Governor bout the time he and his pals bloomed out into sudden wealth, granted them a franchise for a aoug, worth very mauy Utousands of dollars. Did they also get the privilege of sending a man down here to villify and abuse a people wbo had done these things for them? An isolated case, with which this journal was con nected, has been singled out aa an In stance and given In a distorted lonn. Some Impatient gentlemen called upou a Mr. Myn&tt to clear away tbe clouds from the political situation. Ho responded In a letter that, to our perceptions of the situa tion, w is “confusion worso confounded.” It was given to the public, and ro gave it a complimentary notlco. Ho was not assailed as a carpet bagger, but wo under took to say that all tho poultry merchants anil egg peddlors of East Tennessee were not statesmen, that Tennessee chickens were supenor to Tennessee politics. We don’t J propose to amend tho expression. Browniow aud Bill "Scruggs bear us out, and the investigation which brought forth in the Tennessee Legislature that members were drugged with croton oil and bella donna to keep from paying an-honest debt sustains our pOshion. That we measuted Air. Mynatt’s letter aright, was manifest from the fact, that within a very brief time he was brought out as a candi date for Governor and his claims were discussed in the Markham nouse adviso ry council. Georgia had honored him with a seat in her constitutional convention. We were not present, and after the result we have not had the courage to read the reasons which brought about tbe calami- tious conclusion. But from gentleman of tbe highest critica*. capacity we have it, that of the men who were loudest and most prominent. Mr. Mynait made the least sdid reputation. But we digress. Our object is to put to print, in behalf of tlie people of Geor gia at large, in behalf of many good peo ple cf Atlanta, a protest against this foul lot of rot cast upon them by “Jay hawker.” Nothing that he or any one else could say, regarding the Constitution, would unsettle ns. Tho Teleguapii is in a position neither to fear its power or to feel envious of its success. Wc recog nize" its enterprise, industry and ability, qualities which have not only advanced its own fortunes, but, by example, have elevated the standard of newspapers in Georgia above that of her sister States. But the compliment to it is paid for by a heavy draft upon the good name and the sensibilities of the people of our entire State- A Good Bole The Honorable Mr. Mills, of Texas, is not a statesman, so to speak. He Is hard ly a goo J member of Congress, not for tbe lack ol industry or intelligence, but that he is an unwise and Impractical man, with a sharp temper, and if possible, a sharper voice. He is vigilant and noisy, is often heard, but rarely accomplishes anytbiDg save occasionally to vote right. If he delights to tackle one thing more than another, it is a point of order, which he can confuse in a moment, while it takes his colleague, Mr. Reagan, a long time to muddle it completely. With the excep tion of a few members, from Michigan andsfisswhere, wbo know nothing at all, -and some who do not protend or assume to know qnything, Mr. Mills and Mr. Reagan really understand less about tho rules by which parliamentary bodies are governed than any member save Keifer. But even Mr. Mills has, by long and, continued practice, auccceded in piercing the ball’s eye, or, to use tbe vernacular of Texas, has plummed tho cross. He has introduced a resolution to amend the rules so! as gto exclude ex-members of Congress from tbe privileges of the floor. Mr. Mills is right. He is a most persist ent man, and if he will devote himself to this by night and by day until success is achieved, his famo will have been set be yond all peradventure. At present, ex-members of Congress are entitled to the privileges oi the floor, pro vided the application js made for the privi lege in writing, accompanied by the state ment that the party making tbe applica tion is not interested in pending legisla tion. This is regarded as an oath or pledge And is exacted to prevent lobbying. This result has not been obtained. Almost every member of Congress who is defeated for re-election, and who cannot get a sub ordinate position in the House or in some brauch of governmental service, aud who can juggle a railroad out ot a free pass, or reach Washington City by auy other means, goes back tboro and goes into the lobby for pay. Being entitled to the privileges of tho floor, Congressmen can not escape him, ant ho 'possesses an immense advantage o ver the lay breth ren of the profession. And on every day of tbe session these men may be seen on tlie floor in tho cloak rooms and the cor ridors busily plying their trade. AH causes combined do not so lower and re tard tbo public, service as these pcoplo who come from both of the great political parties. Public measure*, no matter what their merit and importance, aro the mor tal foes of tho lobby, and are always an tagonized by bills in which pnvato schemes and : interest* aro akifully or clumsily concealed. We have seen these fellows running about the House like the pages on a call of^States, and more than once absolutely handling tho hills on the clerk’s desk. It is a disgrace and growing outrage on public honesty and decency, and Mr. Mills Is alining a blow exactly at tho right point where it is likely to do tbo most good. There is no aenso or reason in grantiug this privilege to cx-Congressnten. The reason is against it, for the hall does not comfortably contain Us regular mem bers. Good senso would build up bar riers against a lobby rather than open tbe way to tbo hucksters of meu’s votes aud consciences. Mr. Mills is too late with his movement, for this session, at least. It is more than questionable if ho possesses tho requisite tact, influeuce and ability to enforce this measure; but, as we havo before remarked, he is a persistent man, and persistency will accomplish much. Let him hang on to this movement in season and out of soasou aud he will bring supporters to his back. Congressmen will begin to see and appreciate a measure that Is likely to relievo them of tbe presence and pressure of these privileged lobbyist*, and in time these fellows may have to coot their heel in tho corridors along with the common herd. Cap's* Bnaaell. It teems that an allusion to Captain Charles Roberson Russell as “colonel” has riled his indignant soul to such an ex tent as to cause him to contribuip to Uie columns of the Columbus Times a histo ry of the late Confederate war, of which ho is the central figure “near tho flashing cf the guns.” In giving liitu a titlo which he had more than fairly won, wo were inspired by a desire to placo our old aud esteemed fnena upon an equal footing with the coalitionists, not one of whom would an swer to tho designation of major. If ho Is not a colonel he ought to be one, and it would seem that coalitions are as ungrateful as republics. Now we are thankful to Cap for holding Grant and Sherman off while wo got down from Richmond to Columbus, and to abow it, we promlso never to call Captain Charles Roberson Russell colonel any more. Regrets will come, and “tears unbidden start,” when wo hear of the war, and os we have heard more of it from Captain Charles Ilobersou Russell than from all sources combined, we sorrow that wo did not fight by his side. Sometimes tbe harrowing suspicion comes to us that, if we had, the result of tho war might have been different, and we would not have been bothered by coalition colonels, but all of us might have been wooden-legged brigadier generals.

The belief Is general among them that they were over-oivili/ed.

The old class will see nothing eUy, yet when they are compared with the rest of the world their over- civilisation becomes a part of flic feudal ago which progressive humanity has put behind it.

There Is a pretense of it, but my expe rience has shown me that the apparent better ment of the negro is due only to the negro him self. I am certain that any man who has an occasion tocraploy a huge amount of labor will soon discover that among the whites who live In the country, aud nine out of ten of those who Uve in the towns are controlled by this sentiment—that the whiten should have ail tho benefits which flow from tbe labors of the ne groes. They think It lx right to make the uo- growork white they enjoy the fruits of his toil. Ifundrods ot white men have applied to mo for employment to ‘manage labor’—that is, to ilt by ana command them; but only two able- bodied white men have asked me to employ them nx. laborers. If Mr. Arthur wants to build up a party - on tho broad Republican idea that every man in tho South, without regard to color. Is to have an equal chance, be will find that no amount of coalition movements will draw the non-pro- grcsslve elements to his new party. General Longstreet Is reported to have said-that there has never been a Republican party in the South which any respectable Democrat could afford to join. General Uragstreet is a graud old soldier, and has manfully stood by hix con victions. even at the expense of social os well as political surroundings. Ho deserves all credit for his course, but I am afraid that no great portion of the white Democratic masses of the war generation will join his party, uu- 1 css It lx so respectable that It will exclude the negro eiemfent, and when that joins tho Demo cratic oreanization, it leaves the Republican or new party in a hopeless minority.” “Where is the native material then in the South which Is to leaven this mazsT’’ ■ “That material is in the ions ot the old Whigs. Any descendant of Bob Toombs or Howell Cobb, or men of that stamp will follow hi* father, and the father, by bis very sur roundings wax inherently the enemy of the republic, and it is shuer nonsense (» talk of in augurating a reform with them.

How tn do this I don't know, but I do know that In many sec tions the whites are depriving their own chil dren of educational advantages, bccause-byso doing they are keeping the ncgreca back. The negro of the South ore not on a high plane. In many cases some of tho former masters are teaching the negroes, bnt tho general result of their teaching is that the negro is unfit to be taught—that is, they teU this to the negro.
