Hanson, Manager. “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 paid the president of Harvard college. One builds np the brain, tbe other educates it. 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." “Capl Macon's Constituents. It was a gala day in Macon yesterday. Upon the can, in the streets, in the hecks, in private conveyances, in public buildings, In stores end warehouses and in the splen did perk they were to be seen by the thous ands—tbe yeomanry of Georgia. What people they ere! Smiling, sturdy, inde- 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?
