“Mr dear Ward,” the “Napoleon of
finance," retires to the penitentiary for ten
years. There are several others who should
speedily join him.
The month of the hippopotamus in the
circus showbill is a little wider open this
year than last, but the price of admission to
tho show remains the same.
The Atlanta Constitution observes edito
rially: “Sensationalism is all very well in its
place.” The place ought not to be in the
columns of a respectable newspaper.
“Nailing lies” has kept some of the pa
pers in New York and Pennsylvania Very
busy for two months past. The Republi
cans furnished the lies and Democrats
hustled round and supplied the nails.
The man who cooks beans for the Parker
House in Boston gets a snlory equal to that

They are both honorable gentlemen,
Tns Boston Herald says: “It is the great
est piece of humbuggery and effrontery ever
played upon the American people for the
Republican leaders to ask for a return to
power to look after tbe *po°r negro.’ ”
December will come in on Tuesday this
year, the first Monday in the month falling
consequently on the 7th, which will make
the vacation between the two Congresses
the longest possible nndcr the constitution.
The faith-cure business has received a
backset. Miss Alice Burt, of Illinois, who
was healed in this way, immediately eloped
with the lleverend Kent, her pastor, who
abandoned a wife and several small chil
dren.
Never, in all the twenty-five years of Us
power did the Republican party ever dis
charge men from a navy yard just before an
important election. One hundred have
just been cut off at tho Brooklyn Navy
Yard.
“No healthier lesson,” says the Philadel
phia Record, “eon be taught to parties by
the people than the lesson that majorities
are not entailed upon political organizations
in perpetuity, but are granted year by
year.”
At the State Fair one object of interest
was n live 'possum up in a persimmon tree.
Many people think a ’possum pendant in a
persimmon tree should be substituted for
the left-handed patriot in tho Georgia coat
of aims.
The Allentown (Pa.) Register notes this
fact: “Nine persons out of ten would say
that the actual colors of gold and silver were
yellow and white. Let these nine persons
try to match these colors and they will be
surprised to find that drab silk matches gold
and gray silver."
A Connecticut school teacher bos drawn
upon her the sarcaam of the Massachusetts
press because she whipped a scholar for
eating onions. The Bay State gentlemen
shudder to think that someday aMassachu-
setts pedagogue may begin to spank the
boys for eating beans.
Uxdkr prohibition, oue of (he four drug
stores at Osage Mission, Kansas, a place of
2,000 inhabitants, filed 309 “death war
rants" (as the statements of sales of liquor
are called ) for the month of September.
These soles averaged a pint, so that about
200 gallons of liquor were consumed in the
town “for medicinal purposes only,” to say
nothing of that brought or smuggled in.
“The discharge of one hundred men from
a navy yard within two weeks of an elec
tion,” says the New York Times, ‘>01 an event
without parallel in American history. ” Then
Mr. Randall was not correct when he fell
upon the neck of Henry Grady, blinded
with tears, and cried out that the adjourn-
meat of the Georgia Legislature by i
drunken rabble was tho greatest feat in
American history,
A writer in the Medical and Surgical Re
porter cites the case of a preacher, a victim
of the opium habit, who substituted cocaine
for morphine administered hypodermically.
He was cured effectually of the results of
bis first dissipation, but the cocaine brought
on muscular and mental debility. The ex
perimenter now wolka with feeble, uncer
tain steps, and talks incoherently, like an
alcoholic imbecile. His Inst state is worse
than his first.
Death of Gen. McClellan.
The death of Gen. George R. McClellan
removes one of the most prominent figures
of the late war and will be received with
universal regret.
An educated soldier, he was called from"
the pursuits of private life to tho command
of the nrmies of the North early in the
struggle. Patient, cautious and well bal
anced, he soon mobilized a mass of volun
teers and became the idol of the hour.
He went to battle heralded ns the “Young
Napoleon,” but by reason of the fact
that no startling victories followed,
tbe mob nnd the politicians soon
dethroned him. He remained long enough
to show that he was a soldier, who recog
nized the rules of civilized warfare, n pa
triot who was not, in the language of Beech
er iu his eulogy on Grant, “fighting for
political pow er after the war," nnd a gentle
man who never in the strife forgot the
amenities of refined life.
His military career should not be dis-
cussed now, nnd by n layman. The masters
of the art of war will pass upon him and his
work hereafter, nnd he will no doubt be as
signed a high position.
When a people maddened by defeat and
disappointment were willing that their
leaders should tear down all the
safeguards of personal liberty, General
MeClellar. stood in opposition, nnd con
tested unsuccessfully tho Presidency with
Lincoln.
At the end of the struggle and from that
day to the moment of his sudden call, he had
been zealous for the real nnd honorable
reconciliation of tbe men of both sections.
He had served a term as Governor of
New Jersey nnd his oration delivered
on the battlefield of Antietam on last “Dec
oration day" has no snperior in oratorical
literature of that kind. It wns broad, man
ly and abounding in justice, generosity and
charity.
The close of his career will afford the
real soldiers, and men of both sections, op
portunity to join in tributes to his memory.
Confederate soldiers who knew him per
sonally, or who are acquainted with his
character, may follow his bier with bared
heads, and with none of the childish sob
bings nnd perfunctory wails so freely dis
played on a late funeral occasion.
Dr. Woodrow.
The New York Herald of October 17th
contains a telegram from Columbia, S. C.,
upon Dr. Woodrow, whose cose is now
pending before the Georgin Synod, that is
apt to be njisleading. The dispatch reads:
Tlie verdict of the South Carolina Synod in favor
of Dr. James Woodrow, the evolutionist, le receiv
ing the comuifndatione of Presbyterians iu all parts
of tbe South, and the trlumphaut scientist la almost
hourly getting congratulatory messages from his
friends. Since the South Goorgia and Florida
Synod has mado similar deliverances iu his favor
his vindication Is deemed complete. Tho new
board of directors of tbe Columbia Theological
Seminary will, it is believed, aslf him to resruue the
professorship in that lnetituiiou, but bo wtU decline
that request I am Informed by one of bis closest
friends.
The trial has nothing to do with evolu
tion, oa ia explained by a recent editorial in
the News and Conrier, from which we
qnote:
Tbe synod now takes the view which has been
taken by tbe friends of Dr. Woodrow, end sustains
him in his position. Evolution, as such. Is not
touched or effected In any way by the action of the
synod. It remains when tbe synod of 1884 left it
Nothing le added, and nothing haa been taken away.
But a great and gratifying result hss been obtained.
It is that a clergyman In good standing In bis
church, who has not been formally accused of
holding heterodox opinions and who has not been
tried tn the modes preerrlbed by hie church, shall
not be punished as though be were guilty, and shall
not without trial be subjected to tbe penalties that
attach properly to those who hare been tried, heard
and convicted. It was the spirit of fetr play, the
spirit of Juatiee, more then anything else, we be
lieve, which led the synod to speak so emphatical
ly at Chester, and Its conclusions, so far as we can
judge, are in coneouauce with lnexpungable facts.
This, ns we understand it, nnstaius the
position taken by Her. A. W. Clisby the
pastor of the First Prcsbyturian Church of
this city.
The action of the South Carolina synod,
will, in all probability, have groat intlneuce
with the Georgia body, where the matter is
to be exhaustively discussed.
pendent-iooluug, well-dressed, happy. They
come to Macon to spend their money, cheer
np < ach other nnd frolic at the fair.
It was nnd is a well-behaved crowd. No
other assemblage in this city ever gave high
er testimony to the conservatism and law-
abiding sentiment to tho Georgia people.
Their coming is not only a source of profit
and pleasure to the people of this city, but
it is a high compliment, a compliment so
often and heartily repeated ns to convey a
meaning that all may understand. Some
how Macon feels very near akin to these
typical Georgians. When they cross
our limits and come among ns,
be their sections where they may,
they nil meet and minglo ns one happy fam
ily. We do not beliore that any city in
Georgia could seenre the attendance of
nch a class nnd crowd ns that which
this week, has assembled hero. They
come to us upon the first invitation,
put up with whatever accommodation is
offered, and are content noth very meagre
amusements. In the nnrne of the city we
bid them all welcome.
The Appeal to Virginia.
Foraker said in his New York speech:
“It is not wrong to demand a fair count in
tho South, and we will have it if at the
point of the bnyouot.” Tho “we" in this
instance is the Republican party. Hero is
a threat distinct and open to make actual
war upon a section of the union named and
described. Who is to determine this election
question? Who is to suspend the civil law
and carry the bayonet into Virginia, Caro
lina, Florida and Louisiana again? The Re-
publican party. It is upon this statement
that its leaders come now into Virginia and
ask for power to grind tho South again un
der the iron heel of despotism. Virginians
may be divided among themselves upon
State issues, bnt in the face of this common
enemy who wonld have hung Lee in 18C5
nnd would now plnco Sheridan in the Gov
ernor’s chair, they will stand united.
Massachusetts is in a bad way. The
BoiW>n Herald says: “The Supreme Court
gives Tuesday to equity and the other five
working days of the week to iniquity.”
Mauone has rallied the negro preachers
of Richmond to support him, but the Rev.
John Jasper iB not one of the number.
Jasper, whoso “sun do move” theory proves
him to be one of the great thinkeTs of the
century, will stand by Lee. He will even
permit his theory to be suspended tempo
rarily if thereby time to slay the latter day
Philistines can be secured.
NEGROM ANIACS.
Jobe Loo an Is lil>end—yea, John is very
kind. He has opened his presidential cam
paign, and in his Philadelphia speech said:
“A Confederate soldier is good enough for
me if he is willing to acknowledge sad be
lieve that he did wrong In fighting against
the government." The fact is that all hon
orable Confederate soldiers are too good for
John, bnt perhaps he will bs very prond of
one who conld say that be was glad the
Confederate soldiers were whipped. John
may be elected President, perhaps, in spite
of his language.
Sherman In Virginia#
A special from Virginia to the New York
Stm gives the situation in that State as far
as John Sherman is concerned. The corre
spondent, after commenting on the people’s
feelings towards Foraker, says:
Bat, bitter as are their feelings regarding
him, these are nothing as compared to their
hatred for John Sherman, whose name, since
his active connection with the Danville in
vestigation, never foils to receive denuncia
tion when mentioned. He is looked upon
in the light of a man who visits a bouse, and
after accepting its hospitality creeps back
and sets it on fire. About this day
of the month some years ago, Sher
man visited this State with Hayes
and was received with great kindness and
hospitality, meeting at the time represen
tative men from all parts of Virginia, and
and in their presence expressed praise of
the people nnd congratulated them on a re
united country. These men regarded his
sentiments as sincere, and by uttering
them he left a fine impression here. His
after conrsc, his bitter prosecution of some
of the roost honored citizens of Danville,
his vituperation of the very people he had
had talked so smoothly to, has placed him,
in their estimation, ns an ingrate, guilty of
a degree of baseness for which no denun
ciatovy language seems to them strong
enough; and when a man so regarded by
them comes again to give them counsel and
to ask them to vote his way, the effect will
really be to bring out against him the aged
and sick men, who would otherwise have
remained at home.”
In the Kharkoo region of Russia quinine
is considered of no nccount for the enre of
chills nnd fever. Tho Kharkoo doctor
catches n mess of live crabs, pours whisky
over them until thoy become hilariously
drunk, and then puts them into a hot oven.
After being well dried they are pulverized,
shells and all, nnd administered in drachm
doses. Tho local pnpers say that whether
the treatment is scientific or not the patient
gets well under it, though quinine hod no
effect on him.
The rnilroods have afforded the people a
week full of interest nnd enjoyment The
farmer, his wife nnd children, the Jersey
bull, the fat hog, the pumpkin, the bale of
cotton, the jars of pickles and preserves,'
nnd the thousand things which go to moko
np an agricultural fair, have been trans
ported safely, quickly nnd at cheap rates.
It is now In onler tor tho Georgia statesman
to denounce the railroads ns demons of
iniquity, who crash out the life and prop
erty of tho people.
Here is a Kentucky notice of our Mary:
Except in a certain repose, which sits welj
upon her, Mary is the same warm-hearted,
straight up-and-down girl she was when she
went away. There is nothing of the ‘ah-
English-yon-know' air about her. - Sho is
three yean older, a little more dignity and
little less romp, but thoroughly natural,
unaffected and sweet. Great -as she is on
the stage she is even greater in private life;
wherein her personality diffuses a constant
radiance and perfume. Nor is this so much
her intellect and beauty os her character,
which is as near perfect as we see in this
world of shreds and patches."

Tbb New York Telegraph says:
Boycott's fate bos been a curious one. While
he himself has long ago ceased to be ostra
cised by his neighbors and is actually on
excellent terms with them, the word found
ed on his name and the practices described
by tbe word are spreading steadily. Tbe
French have the word “boycotter,” and the
Germans "boycotten” and “geboycottet."
In Liverpool the English commercial clerks
have formed a union for the purpose of
boycotting German intruders. And, last
of all, we hear the natives of Mandalay,
King Thebaw's capital, have taken to boy
cotting the foreign residents as a gentle
hint to them to get out.”
The New York gun says; “The stalwarts
of this State defeated James G. Blaine last
year. They intend to defeat Ira Davenport
this fall. A cart ful scrutiny of the votes iu
tbe strong stalwart counties shows whence
the blows came that defeated the Maine
statesman. It was the stalwart rapiers,
suddenly nnshenthed in forty counties dur
ing the last week of the campaign, without
organized concert, that sent the great half-
breed to earth. But for this the much
overrated mugwump bolt, and tbe trivial
Hurchard fiatco, and some other minor ad
verse influences that operated against
Blaine near the close of the can vans, would
not have tnfllced to offset tho large acces
sions to his forces from the ranks of the De
mocracy in this State, It was the New
York stalwarts that slew him. The offense
of Davenport is of the same kind as that of
Blaine. It is smaller in magnitude, just as
Davenport is vmaller than III uie. But it
springs from a similar source, and, in the
opinion of all these stalwarts who keep an
account current with their enemies, it de
serves to be punished in like manner. The
stalwarts will destroy Davenport on Tues
day next!”
Itevlew of Mr. Cable's Article In the
Century—“The Silent South."
In an elaborate article in the Century
magazine for September, Mr. G. W. Cable
again comes to the front with a picture of
the oppression under which our black peo
ple labor. I look around me on the well-
clod, boisterous fellows who are hauling
their cotton to the nearest toll-gin, and I
certainly do not find in them a silent South.
I see before me labor well rewarded, the
largest liberty consistent with law, and
sometimes instances of that unbridled
license which waxeth fat and kicks, and re
quires to be restrained by the hand of au
thority.
I sometimes ask myself, what can this
mnn mean by continually troubling our
waters ami stirring np strife where peace is
brooding? Is he writing in the interest of
a party, or is lie hoping to build up a party
for himself? I do not know, but I do know
that lie is doing a deal of mischief.
Sixty years ami more have passed since
our fathers first heard the rumbling of an
earthquake under their feet nnd that por
tentous noise did never cease, until in our
day and generation the great convulsion
came; our national fabric was uphenved
and its “diejecta membra" scattered wide
aronnd. Thanl: God', the divine law of
gravitation and reparation are working order
out of chaos, if only this purblind cyclops
will leave us alone Mr. Cable claims to be
of Caucosion blood and Southern breeding;
if so, he is a turns naturae.
He seems to be a practiced dialectician
and can chop logic with any Harvard pro
fessor, but Ido not find that in the seven
teen pages of the Century, in which ho ex
hausts the argument, he has in any way
strengthened his position.
He seems to think that he has drawn a
very nice, bnt nt the same time a very clear,
distinction between social relations and as
sociation. He tells us that the civil rights
bill does not contemplate meddling with
the firat, nnd ought not. But that the
pence of mind of our African brother abso
lutely requires that the last should be en
forced in the hotel parlor, the dining room,
at the concert hall or in the railway car
riage. Well, the Supreme Court of the
United States does not agree with him.
They have decided that tho public carrier
mny so arrange his living freight as shall
best secure their harmony and comfort.
He tells ns that n mnn may isolate himself
in any crowd, bnt surely in no city in the
United States (where clubs of every kind
and for ever)' purpose are daily organized)
will it be contended that the principle of
social exclusiveness can not nnd may not
be practiced. Why then shall not the
proprietors of nn hotel announce
the public that he has opened
house for the exclusive entertainment of,
we will sny, theatrical performers, or for
persons who can not bear the smell of to
bacco, or even a a sanitarium for sensitive
Caucasians. If any unfortunate landlord
should live in a community of intrusivo fa
natics, he has only to call his caravansary,
the Caucasian club, and make his book
keeper master of ceremonies.
liven as I write, the press of the country
teems with accounts ot atrocities perpetrat
ed agaiust the yellow colored Chinnmnn by
other people of foreign birth just vomited
upon us from the gutters of Europe. But
I have heard no cry of horror. I sco no
rush to arms un the part of the humanitari
ans.
The silont South! I almost wish we had
been more silent or confined onr conversa
tion to our own circle, or to the foreigner
who would give ns nn impartial bcnniig,
rather than plead our cause before a tribu
nal which has prejudged nnd already sen
tenced us and executed that sentence with
considerable severity. If we tell them of
tho lessons received from theframeraof the
constitution, whose opinions prevailed and
were accepted by tbe country during mnch
the longest portion of the nation’s life,
thoy poh-poh ns ns ignoramuses who have
not studied the higher law with Seward and
Garrison. If we appeal to the Kentucky and
Virginia resolutions, written respectively
by Jefferson and Madison, they answer that
those papers were not to tho taste of tho
greut expounder, Daniel Webster, who, by
tho by, once threatened that Massachusetts
would resist if Congress placed a high duty
on molasaes, (which onr self-denying cous
ins converted into rum for tbe African trade
and brought back again iu doubloons from
tbo West India slave marts.) but this was
in hi* callow day, before our Northern eagle
hail moulted his firat feathers. If we point
to the stutely figure at the gateway of the
republic and ask them to read carefully
President Washington's answer to Dr.
Stowart, of Virginia, who notifies him that
Virginin was dissatisfied with the working
of the constitution and would probably
withdraw from the Union, (Sparks's writ
ings of Washington, voL 10, pp. 82-85,) and
to note how this great man, to whom the
exercise of authority was an instinct, only
tempered by his Henae of justice, met the
question of secession. Whether with threats
of Federal bayonets, or with arguments and
discussions? ’And they laugh in our faces
and tell us that Washington was an old
fogy, only fit to be set up in tbe same show
case with weak-kneed President Buchanan.
And finally, if wo stop to nppeal to their
magnanimity they toss up their chins in de
rision and tell ua we are expiating our crime
against John Brown, the martyr.
I have long known that onr late antago
nists were too well encased in tbe armor of
self-complacency to be accessible to assault
one among these gentlemen who took part
with tho negromaniaos, that one was not
Rpliert E. Lee. He loved the nrmy at the
United States, in which he had served from
boyhood; it tore his heart strings to fight
against that flag which he had been lnrgely
instrumental in raising over tbe capital of
Mexico. His companions in arms owned
him “facile princepi," and he knew more
over, that the veteran chief of the United
States army had designated him as tho
properest person to lead the Union forces
to victor)'. ■ But he put aside the ambition
of his life; he tore himself from under the
flog he loved, and when his mother Vir
ginia called lie .went, a sorrowful man, to
the post where honor nnd patriotism called
him. Shall we not put some brand of rep
robation on the literary hireling who has
fa'sifieil his record?
Mr. Cable honors ns by making for us the
new party designation of trailitionists. We
accept tho name with pride. Would to God
that the traditions of the founders of the
republic still prevailed, nnd that Washing
ton's farewell address still found readers
among tho present generation.
The writer of this paper was sent, as a
hoy, to Northern schools, more than sixty
years ngo. He there formed many friend
ships which (although the parties with
whom they were contracted now moulder
in the grave,) are still green in his memory.
He lias, therefore, known the Northern peo
ple longer than most of them who are now
engaged in the business of life have known
eacli other, nnd he certainly entertains now
but the kindest feelings to that portion of
that people who still respect the traditions
of their fathers.
The change which has come over the
Northern mind may be mainly traced to
foreign influences. The immense influx of
foreign thought has overwhelmed the native
intellect—all the isms have full swing. No
faith need be kept with their Southern
brethren, they are not "en rapport" with the
illuminati of the day.
The politicians help to bewilder the pub
lic; they look out for indications and pre
tend to lead when they think they have dis
covered the drift of popular opinion. A
sand-lot orator cries out “the Chinese mnst
go,” and straightway Congress passes n bill
conflicting with the’general policy nnd dis
criminating against this prescribed race.
As we of the South have not been leavened
with this new-light leaven, we have adhered
to the traditions of our fathers, extending
back to .Magna Charta, nnd embracing ideas
of regulated liberty of which these freshly
enfranchised Europeans have no concep
tion.
John Milton says in one of his prose
tracts: “Orders and degrees jar not with lib
erty,” and Edmnnd Burke, at tho outbreak
of our revolutionary struggle, when all the
insurgent colonies were slnveholding, said
in Parliament that “all history proved that
freemen owning slaves were the firmest do-
fenders of liberty." He spoke of the con
stitutional rights of the colonies and he
called those tlieir liberties. I am not writm;
eulogy on our defunct institution, but
would like to see it decently buried.
Charles Spaldino.
Sunny Side, Ga., October, 1885.
by the sword-blade of argument—perhaps
the rapier point of ridicule may find a crev
ice for admission.
Mr. Cable opens his lost pronunciamento
somewhat on the plan of a spectacular
drama. Thecurtninyiseson "TivoliCircle,
New Orleans. From the center and apex of
its green, flowery mound, an immense col
umn of pure w hite marble rises in the fair
unfvowning majesty of Grecian proportion*
high up above the city honschops into the
dazzling *nnshine nnd fragrant gules of the
Delta. On it* dizzy top stands the bronze
figure of one of the world’s greatest cap
tains.”
Now, why I nsk, arc we treated to this
charming tableau? It is that our new pro
phet, by some magic art may draw down
this “counterfeit presentment” of the
Southern champion and place it at the bead
of his rabble of innovating negromaniacs to
make a procession through the land.
Was ever such matchless impudence dis
played liefore? Grant gave the living Lee
generous terms, but this body-snatcher
pounces on the carcass of the dead lion and
parades it in triumphal procession.
Let every honest man in the country who
has time and inclination, come with me and
we will investigate this matter. Mr. Cable
actually claims General Lee, the most con
servative of men, us on his side of the ques
tion, nnd on what grounds? He find* some
where that General Lee is reported to linre
said: “I am rejoiced that slavery is abolish
ed,” and again, “I would willingly have
lost all that I have lost, and have suffered
all tlmt I hare suffered to attain that end.”
Now, we will only, for one moment, sup
pose that these word* were spoken by Gen
eral Lee, exactly as they are reported us,
does that in any way warrant the assump
tion that he sympathized with the wild en
thusiasts who bathed this land in blood?
