The Convict Question.
£ The present canvass and the recent
emeute at the Dade county coat mines have
drnwn public attention to the convict sys
tem of the State.
It must be confessed that nothing has
i i been developed which promises anything
! In the way of improvement,
i General GoijJon's supporters accepted his
: statements in regard to his connection
with this business in the face of sworn tes
timony and the records of the courts,
which flatly contradicted him. He and his
' friends will not be likely to disturb a sys<
tern which has done so much for them, and
j: any change for the better seems to be as
8 distant as ever. But the subject will be
E discussed,and perhaps fromjtho multiplicity
B of counsel good results may be obtained,
The demoralizing influence this system
I b:.s exerted upon every branch of the State
S government makes it one of interest to the
■ citizen at all times. There can be no vio-
I lent or sodden change, bnt the minds of
our law-makers should be engaged in ma-
n tnring plans for the future.
« One of onr contemporaries, tho Middle
‘ Georgia Argus, puts in this contribution:
■ > Whenever .man or woman Is convicted and sen-
, ’ fenced to tbe penitentiary for a period of more than
five years, give him or har their choice of being
\ banished fur Ufa to Liberia or serve his term out In
' the chalogang. No doubt this would greatly leaaen
i' - ' crime, and would certainly decrease the number of
,, long term convicts. After this has been done let
A Notable Speech.
AmoDg the Representatives from Geor
gia being closely pressed for position, is
Mr. Hammond, of the Fifth district. He
has bean compelled to come home to con
front his opponents, and he has done so in
a speech worthy of the highest commenda
tion.
After the miserable hog wash with which
the people of Georgia have been deluged by
a candidate for Governor and his strikers for
weeks past, it is simply refreshing to read
after Mr. Hammond, who despises the
tricks of a demagogue, and exhibits him
self not only as a Representative of industry
and ability, but aa a wise and practical
statesman.
We have long been aware of tbe com,
mending position he has won and held at
Washington, and the vote he has received
in Fnlton county is just to him and credi
table to his immediate constituents. We
know of no document calculated to interest
and improve reading and thinking people
more than Mr. Hammond’s speech as pub
lished in the Atlanta Constitution of Mon
day last.
If the space were at onr command we
should show our appreciation of it by its
full reproduction.
As it is we cannot forbear from publish
ing a few excerpts.
Mr. Hammond is an industrious man
He has found time to complete a scrap book
which he has found nsefnl to himself and
eonfusing to his opponents. A convenient
scrap book is both a comforting and dan
gerous thing. He says:
SpcoLizg is hard rcri. I !*•*• my full than of

The Convicts Again.
The Dade County Times has this to say
concerning the late emente at the Dado
county coal mines:
The Inauguration of the strike st Cole City last
Monday by tbe convicts is a matter that deserves
the severest denunciation from both press and peo
ple. In all that have yet occurred over the entire
country. It has no parallel in Insolence. It Is sim
ply an outrage upon law and order, and should be
suppressed with but little or no mercy to a single
participant If the best ends of our society and
country most be alone considered, the instigators
of the offense should suffer capital punishment If
the overseers of the Dade Coal Company had been
accustomed to treat them with harsh and Inhuman
rules and manners, there might have been an
ameliorating excuse for the offense. But the
treatment and care they have received has
been to the direct contrary. No report from any
convict camp or lease in the State has shown equal
in point of care and heslth as the one from Dade.
In fact the manner and care that the Dade Coal
Company has exercised over its convicts received
s very high tribute of commendation from Dr. Fel
ton. the bitter opponent of tbe system. In the last
session of tbe Georgia Legislature. Every report
that has been made to the grand Juries of out
county has exemplified tbe greatest care and hu
mane treatment from both company and the em
ployee. Proper and sufficient clothing and food
has at all times been supplied; and they have re
ceived constant and the very beet medical attention.
In all. there Is not a finer, truer, more courteous,
and kinder disposed lot of gentlemen anywhere
than thoee in the employ jo f the Dade Cole Compa
ny at Cole City.**
What the Times says of the managers
Athens and Macon.
The Atlanta Constitution of yesterday
publishes this:
Colonel L. F. Livingston, president of the Cov-
Id gton and Macon railroad. Is in the city. A short
tlmo ago bo tendered ble resignation to the board
of directors, but they refused to accept it. He was
induced to resign because be was opposed'to
selecting Athens at the northern terminus of the
road.
It appears that the project to carry the road to
Athens will lead to vexatious complications, unless
it is also carried to Covington. The mortgage upon
which the bonds are predicted all require the road
to be built to Covington, and the bonds themselves
Indicate such a purpose.
The subscriptions to tbe stock of the road were
made with the understanding that it was to be
built to Covington. Colonel Livingston secured
the subscriptions by personally guaranteeing the
completion of the road to Covington, and a con
dition of the subscriptions is that they are not to
be paid until the road is completed. It is held
that if the road la not built to Covington the sub
scriptions will be void.
The grading haa been completed to a point
within ten miles of Covington. It mnst now either
go toward Athens or It must continue to Coving
ton. Colonsl Livingston does not know what will
be done.
Macok, July M.—Editors Constitution; In your
issue of to-day my attention has been directed to a

it la stated, "A short time ago he tendered his resig

to accept it."

evening he called on Dr. R. D. Bibber, who
fitted out Traynor, and arranged with the
Doctor for a similar boat and outfit. Chan
dler ears he has made up bis mind to row
across the ocean and, if successful, to go
aronnd the world.
“I have,” says he, "been in a dory since
I was ten years old, and what I don't know
about that class of boats ain’t worth know
ing. After arriving in England I intend to
go in my boat, or a similar one, to Norway
and Sweden; thence to France, Spain and
tbrongh the Mediterranean, the Sncz Canal,
across the Indian Ocean and Southern l's-
ciflo to Australia; thence to Japan and
China. There 1 will take a steamer to 8tn
Francisco and come overland to the Missis-
sippi, where my boat will again be put into
the water, and I shall row down the rirer to
the Gnlf and along tbe shore to New York.
I think I shall be successful.”
Chandler is about 40 years of age and
weighs 180 pounds. His boat will be 13
feet keel, 4 feet beam and 30 inches deep,
with water-tight compartments forward slid
aft. The only open space in her will be s
cockpit in tbe center. Chandler made the
trip from l’rovincetown to this port, is a
dory, in twonty hours.
THE MASONIC QUARREL.
The New York Graud Lodge Will Support
the Quebec Moaous.
New Yonx, July 19.—Masons here bin
become greatly interested in the quarrel be
tween tbe Qnebec Masons and tbe Grand
Lodge of England, to which publio altentioa
was first called about a week ago by the
publication of Grand Master Walker ia
Montreal. There ia considerable annoy
ance over the expression by the latter of as
opinion that American grand lodges gener
ally would support the Quebec Mason-, bnt
that the New York Grand Lodge wonld re
fute to indorre Uia edict, because “they
were ultra conservative." Jerome Beck,
past deputy grand muter of New York, to
day made a statement, in which he uys:
“I am note member ot the Grand Lodge,
and can't say what their action will be, bnt
it wonld bo against all the traditions of tbe
Grand Lodge of the State and heterodox to
do otherwise than support the edict ot non-
affiliation with tho Grand Lodge of Eng
land. I don't know why Grand Masiti
Walker ahonld think that New York vis
doubtful b-cauao ultra-conservative. If VI
are conservative it is a reason why ve
•honhl snpprrt tl- Quebec Mesons. The
remark is entirely gratuitous. We were the
first onee to raise the question of
jurisdiction, and are in perfect accord
with ail American lodges on fie
subject. Subordinate lodges can exist
without a Grand Lodge, hut a flrtnd
Lodge oannot exist without subordinate
lodges. Tbe principle ia that no nutter
where subordinate lodges get their origi
nal charter from, when a Grand Lodge is
instituted in the province or State ell
subordinate lodges in the State must affil
iate with that Grand Lodge.
"Thia ia the law of Masonry tha world
over. Onr Grand Lodge was tbe lint to
enforce thie principle in this country.
We are conservative and will act in ac
cord with other American Masons: in bet,
wa would have to do it or be tnpended
from Masonic intercourse with all
the Grand Lodges in the United Slate*.
Yean ago—in 1845, I think—there
wre a quarrel in the New York Grand
Lodge and two grand lodge* were organized
in this State. Ita result was that no otner
Grand Lodge in the States would recog
nize ne for years or hold Masonic inter
course with ne. In 1848 the breechi was
healed and the two bodies reunited. Then
