In reviewing the causes that result
ed in dissolution at the beginning of
the late war, and the desirableness of
an early adjustment of the differences
that have since divided these impor
tant bodies, the Savannah JWtcsbe-
lives there is hardly room for doubt
that union would bebeuficial. United,
the church would be stronger and
more influential. The reasons which
brought about separatiou in 1861 no
longer exirt; the war issues have been
eliminated from politics, and why
shouldn’t they be eliminated from the
church ?
Jn the debate in the General Assem
bly at St. Louis on the question of un
ion the llev. Ur. J. M. P. Otts, of Ala-
abnma, made some remarks which are
very well worth the considemtion of
the Southern branch of the church.
After pointing out that the time is
ripe lor an arbitration of the issues be
tween the two cliUYcbes, and for the
establishment of closer relations be
tween them, he said that the invisible
church was one and there was no in
surmountable obstacle In the way of
the visible church becoming one. He
intimated that if the two bodies did
not become one by some act of their
own they would eventually become
one in another way—the stronger
would be absorbed by the weaker.
f’outiuulng, the News says:
"There is, of course, some ground
for this intimation. The Northern
body is not only growing stronger at
the North, hut it is also planting
churches all over the South. North
ern wealth and Northern people are
pouring into the South. Many of these
people are Presbyterians, and Jhey
are establishing the Northern Presby-
tcriau church on Southern soil. In
many of the new towus that have
sprung up in Tennessee, Alabama,
Florida and Texas the Northern Pres
byterian church is found, and its in
fluence in the Soutli will continue to
increase as immigration from the
North to the South becomes greater.
"On the other baud, the Southern
body has no foothold at the North,
aud is not likely to get any. The
Southern Presbyterians who locate
there are not strong enough to estab
lish churches of their own, aud they
very soou become members of the
Northern church. This condition of
affairs may not be altogether gratify
ing, but it nevertheless exists, and it
would only be folly to ignore it.
"There is considerable friction be
tween the two bodies, and it is a hin
drance to the growth of both. It seems
to be admitted that the removal of It
will he beneficial North aud South.
Why not remove it, then, by uniting
the two bodies? Thesim of bothshould
be to do what will confer the greatest
benefits upon coming generations.”
A Short Lease on Life.
Three or four months ago a charac
terless white woman named Matilda
Gudger was murdered near Dalton.
Sufficient evidence was obtained to
lix the crime upon J. B. Patton, Wil
liam Holman and Lizzie Holcombe,
(all white,) who were arrested and
lodged in jail. At the trial, which
took place shortly afterwards, Patton
and the woman (Holcombe,) swore
that Holman committed the deed and
that they were accessaries to the
crime. They were accordingly sen
tenced to the penitentiary for life.
Holman was convicted of murder and
sentenced to death. His execution
was to have taken place to-day, but on
Tuesday last Gov. Gordon granted a
respite until Friday, July Stb, next.
In an interview with a newspaper
reporter last Tuesday, the condemned
man made the following statement:
"I was born about twelve miles from
Newnan, Cowetacounty,Ga., and was
£2 years old the loth of last January.
It is not true that I shot into a train
at Shellmound, Teun., nor have I
confessed such; but there is some truth
that I did shoot a negro man near
Chattanooga, who was walking with a
nice white girl by the name of Mandv
Smith. The negro died about a month
afterwards. I did not know Matilda
Gudger »the murdered woman) pre
vious to three weeks before the affair at
the cotton-gin. Lizzie Holcombe, the
woman with Matilda Gudger, was a
sweetheart of Patton’s. Patton need
not think that any confession that I
may make on the scaffold will help
him any way; the evidence I gave in
court was the truth, only I did not tell
all. I will yet do so. I am trving to
make preparation to meet mv God.

might see the Bulletin under bis nose;

Out of a total of two hundred and
thirty-one newspapers and periodi
cals published in the State, the iieg-
gmrly array of high tariff organs here
presented furnishes convincing proof
of the weakness of the protection party
in Georgia. We are entirely satisfied
with the showing made by the Tele-
graph. .
Ik a recent speech on the tariff John
Sherman asserted that, with the ex
ception of the duty on sugar, tariff
taxes are laid on articles of luxury.
As a matter of fact, however,-four-
fifths of the tariff duties imposed by
our Government are collected on ac
tual necessaries. Last year the tar
iff duty on luxuries yielded $34,000,000,
while the amount derived from the
duty on articles of necessity exceeded
$154,000,000. The tariff on sugar alone
amounted to$52,000,000, beinginexcess
of the value of the entire product of the
leading sugar-producing States of the
Union. And yet the free liquor or
gans are trying to show that it will be
advantageous to the country to abolish
the tax on whiskey and tobacco and
retain the present outrageous tariff on
sugar, molasses, and other staple ne
cessities. Preposterous!
The Starke (Fla.) correspondent of
the Savannah Eetcs makes the follow
ing announcraent concerning a former
well-known and popular educator of
Middle Georgia:
"Prof. G. C. Loouey, who has suc
cessfully conducted the Starke Insti
tute during the last three years, has
received an offer from the Sunny
South Female Seminary at Atlanta,
and will move to that place duriDg
the next few weeks. The Professor
and his family have endeared them
selves to the people of Starke, who
contemplate this loss with serious re
gret.”
Prof. Looney's return to Georgia
will be hailed with delight by his nu
merous friends throughout the State,
while his connection with the above-
named institute will unquestionably
give it a reputation and popularity
that it has never yet enjoyed.

The rate committee of the Southern
Railway and Steamship Association,
which met in St. Louis last week, re
stored rates to what is known as the

by Southern lines only to and from
the river was in forse for a long time,
but more recently through rates have
been made by lines north of the river
on traffic originating at points north
of the river and destined to southern
territorty, and vice versa. There will
be in the future no proratiDg, but, as
stated, rates will be made only to and

no wise conflict with the provisions of

Prohibition in Tronp.
It is charged that the prohibition
law in Troup county has been fla
grantly violated by some, and openly
disregarded by others, since it went
into effect three or four years ago, and
at the late term of Troup Superior
Court specific charges were preferred
against certain alleged violators, in
cluding one or two druggists doing
business in LaGrange. The grand ju
ry was forced to take cognizance of
the matter, but ultimately concluded
(by a vote of IS to 6) that the law had
not been violated intentionally, and
the offenders were exonerated. At
any rate, no iudictments were re
turned and nothing further will like
ly oome of it. The following
strong language occurs in the general
presentments, however, ftom which it
would appear that the jury desired to
be pul on record as condemning une
quivocally the violations complained j

Judge Leigh Answered.
Mr. Editor:—I see a communication
in your last issue headed, "Western
Farmers and Eastern Manufacturers,”
from the pen of Judge Benj. Leigh. I
concluded to make an effort to answer
it, but since m&kiug the start I find it
almost impossible to find anything in
said communication tangible enougb
to get bold of. It leminds me of the
Irishman’s flea; “when you thought
J ou had him, he was somewhere else.”
udge Leieh says that an English no
bleman, in speaking of the tariff, said
that "it would soon be a sectional is
sue.” I think he (the Englishman)
is entirely wrong in that idea. My
opinion is that it will inevitably be an
issue of general interest, instead of, as
be says, a sectional matter;—that is,
it will be an issue between agricultur
al aDd manufacturing laborers. Judge
Leigh says the farmers are protected,
aDd goes on to mention the protected
articles—articles that are produced
cheaper and in larger quantities than
can be produced anywhere else on
earth. The farmers are protected!
What for ? They make more than can
be consumed at home. They do not
need protection. They do not trant
it. But the things that he can’t pro
duce, yet which he is obliged to have,
are so protected, (and for which be
lias to pay such enormous prices—
prices made by the in port duty) that
he can’t afford to pay his laborers as
much as be otherwise could. What
are the average respective wages of the
two classes of laborers in the United
States ? The farm laborer gets an av
erage of $110 a year. The manufactur
ing laborer gets an average of $334.70 a
or more than three times as .
some excuse for a man’s failing, in
part, as regards the latter; because the
best laid plans of men may fail,
though every nerve be strained, and
hence a prudent, economical man
may sometimes be poor. But there is
no reason why a man should not have
a good character, even if he is not in
dustrious ; for he is dependent for this
solely upon himself. I have no pa
tience or clemency for either an im
moral or a lazy man. Either is a dis
cord in tne harmony of Nature and a
jarring element in the movement of
society. When such a doctrine is in
culcated in the minds of our young
men at their homes; when it is taught
in our schools, and when it is pro
claimed from our pulpits, then will
a new and better era come down npon
the land—then will the true weight of
manhood be felt.
The other Sunday I heard a preach
er say that "the prettiest picture that
was ever presented to his mind was
the description of the death of Jacob,
where it said: ‘He gathered his feet
into the bed and yielded up the ghost
and was gathered unto his people.
Well, I have seen a prettier one. It is
the spectacle of a man—a fully devel
oped physical, mental and moral man.
Could »e find a man who, by habits
of temperance, bad secured health and
a good constitution; who, by energy
aud prudence, had secured the neees-
saries and comforts of life; who, by
reading and study, had secured a well-
stored mind and clear intellect; who,
by alternate restraint and flow of de
sires and propensities, bad secured a
pure and noble character; who, by
combining the above, had acted well
in all the varied spheres of individual,
social and political life:—such a man
would deserve to be cairied to heaven
without dying. Like Elisha, he shauld
be borne heavenward in a carriage of
light drawn by winged steeds. Alas,
why is it that mankind is so slow to
understand the value of physical,
mental and moral education? When
will health, economy, prudence, ener
gy, mental and moral culture have oc
casion to exert their full influence?
Culture is the watchword—culture of
body, culture of mind, culture of soul.
To be rounded characters, regularly
and fully developed, is the ideal for
which to strive.
But, ab, me!—what am I, who hath
given forth all this high-sounding lan
guage? "A sounding brass and a
tinkling cymbal.” And why? Be
cause the first, strongest and highest
law of Nature is habit; and I, and
you, have grown into such habits.
Yea, other habits, which are so hard
to break, so hard to change! Yet it is
all important that we understand, if
we can’t embody, these teachings; be
cause, if they canuot be exemplified in
us, we may aid risiDg generations to
mure closely follow these delightsome
truths, whose paths are paths of
"profir, pleasantness and peace.”

Mr. Editor:—Knowing your readi
ness always to correct any errors that
may gain' publicity through the col
umns of your paper, aad we, citizens
of Fayette county, fearing that erro
neous ideas may be enteitained by
those unacquainted with the facts, de
sire to make the following statement
in reference to an item which appear
ed in yonr issue of June 3d, from your
Senoia correspondent "A.,” in which
he 6tated in substance that the negro
who assaulted Mr. Sanford Gay was
found the next day, dead, his body
riddled by the bullets of unknown
parties, etc. This was not true. The
facts, as we get them from parties who
were in a position to know, are as fol
lows: On Monday night after the dif
ficulty a party of well-known men, in
cluding an 'arresting officer armed
with proper authority, went in search
of the negro. Upon arriving at a
bouse where they had an idea that the
negro might be found they were met
at the door by another negro, w ho was
very much interested in getting the
fugitive out of the way. The party
thoughtlessly allowed him to delay
them in conversation before they sur
rounded the house, which was done
by him no doubt to give his “pet”
time to get out the back way, which
he did in quick time. He escaped
without a scratch and has not been
seen or heard from since, except by
those who will not be likely to give
any information concerning his
whereabouts.
Mr. Gay was assaulted and severe
ly cut, as stated by your correspond
ent, and it was one of the most unpro
voked, bloodthirsty attacks we have
ever known—the assailant even fol- i
lowing his victim up with threats of;
vengeance as he was being carried to
bis house, more dead than alive, in
the arms of his distressed and
frightened wife, no one else being
present at the time. The negro
is still at large, but it is hoped
that be will yet be captured and pun
ished as he deserves. Mr. Gay is in
a fair way to recover. Fayette.
