She Serald and ^deertiser. FROM OUR CORRESPONDENTS. Grantrille. Mr. Editor:—There were several ca-es of sickness in oar towh last wsek, but nothing of a serious nature. I)r. A-thur M. Speer has received ■ : from the shops of Summers &, Mnr- 0FF1C1AL ORGAN OF CITY AND COUNTY P h <?» Barneyille, . Ga., one of the Newnan, Ga., Friday, July 1st, 1887. ^WEEKLY CIRCULATION, 1,760. J.VS. E. BROWN. Editor. Newnan Orators Abroad. No town in Western Georgia has more or better oratorical talent than New nan. This is evidenced by the popu larity of our local orators, whose serv ices are always Id demand when there is an occasion of any sort to celebrate; and the demand is not confined to lo cal celebrations, either. Within the past two weeks commencement exer cises have occurred at Palmetto, 8e- nola, Grantville, Franklin, Fairburn, Griffin, Jonesboro and Tallapoosa, and it is a noteworthy fact that on each occasion the sophmorlc eloquence was contributed by Newnan. Dr. Hall de livered a commencement sermon In Griffin. Addresses were delivered by Col. H. A. Hall at Palmetto, Frank lin, Grantville and Tallapoosa; by Prof. C. L. Moses and Col. L. M. Far mer at Senoia; by Col. P. S. Whatley at Fairburn ; and by Prof. E. 8. What ley at Jonesboro. Next week Hon W. Y. Atkinson will deliver the com' mencement address at Carrollton, and during the coming month Hon. W. A. Turner and Col. A. D. Freeman are expected to make speeches before the Heard County Sunday School Asso ciation. Judge Hugh Buchanan has been selected to preside at the annual champion debate between the Phi Kappa and Demosthean Societies of the State University;—and other invi tations have doubtless have been ex tended that we know nothing about. The foregoing instances, however, are sufficient to emphasize Newnan’s claim to prominence as an intellectu al centre, and will serve still further to establish the reputation and popu larity of the gentlemen mentioned as speakers of eminence and ability. lu this connection it afiords us pleasure to reproduce the following complimentary notices concerning re cent efforts of two of our most gifted and promising young men: Wednesday morning at 10:30 o’clock the literary address was de livered by Col. P. S. Whatley, ofNew- uan. As we had predicted, it was a grand eilort, and made a fine impres sion upon the la:ge audience. His theme was ‘‘The Uses of Adversity.” He spoke of the progress of the Bouth since the war; of her educational and material advancement; how adversity ‘ and necessity stimulated effort, energy and industry; how manfully the South had accepted the terms of re conciliation, and risen from the cha otic destruction of the late war to her present glorious and prosperous con dition. Yet he warned our people of the danger of discarding tbe-doctrines and principles of our forefathers; they were true men, of unquestioned prin- ' ciples, of unflinching courage, aud of undaunted bravery, and their lives and characters should be constantly held up before the rising generations. His speech was grand, aud captured his whole audience. Col. Whatley is a young lawyer of much promise, and well may our sister city Newnan be proud of him.—Fairburn News. ‘‘Come Where the Lilies Bloom,” a beautiful quartette, was a fitting pre- . lude to the rich literary feast that was to follow, in the annual address to the literary societies by Col. Hewlette A. Hall, of Newnan. The speaker was handsomely intro duced by Miss Louie Taylor, president of the Aurora Society, aud at the con clusion of his first beautifully rounded sentence, the loud applause, beaming faces aud eager ears of his hearers as sured him that he had their hearts bound by the strongest chords of sym pathy. “Fidelity to Trust” was his subject. We would not mar the clear- cut beauty of this grand oration, eveD if wejiad the time and space, by a sypoptioal report. Even when we undertake to give an outline of the ad dress, we are like the artist whose ' veryqoul is enraptured by a gorgeous aunsel—tenting the shadowy clouds, . the distant mountains, and nearer for est with' such a glow of heavenly beauty that he well knows no touch of art can possibly reproduce, aud lays his brush aside lest bis own effort might dispel the sweet charm that en chains his eye, and mind, and soul. Graudly was the truth portrayed that our highest duty, whether it relates to things temporal or spiritual, is fideli ty to trust. Life itself Is indeed a trust. May our young friends of the society ever keep in mind and heart the admonition couched in that long- to-be-remembered peroration, and be guided by duty to the polar star of truth. Grand address! grand orator! fitting climax to a grand occasion!— ■^Tallapoosa Journal. Panther Creek.

I day of last week. Mr. J. Henry Smith, accompanied by his sister, Mis; Lena, came up from Hogansville last Friday. Mrs. J. D. Moreland and Mrs. Fan nie Arnold went up the road one day last week. A peculiar whirlwind was observed In our town a few days ago. Its pecu liarity consisted in its 3hape. It was about fifteen inches in diameter at the earth and ran np higher than the eyi could reach, and it was about thi same size its whole length. It seemed to have nothing in its embrace ex cept dust and Ads particles of sand. Mrs. Alice Perryman, of Atlanta, is on a visit to her sister, Mrs. Jennie D. Moreland. Miss Imogene Lovejoy is visiting the family of her cousin, Mr. J. F, Lovejoy. Miss Addle Wldeman, of Hogans' viile, who has been very seriously sick for some weeks, is improving and we trust that Bhe may be soon restored to her wonted health. Mrs. Lizzie Alexander, of Newnan, is spending some time with her sister, Mrs. J. A. Davis, at the latter’s home four miles in the country. A well-digger, Wash Pitts, came very near losing his life last Saturday by entering a well containing gas. He went down within about ten feet of the water and soon discovered “something wrong; could not breathe” —and after much difficulty reached the top, with outside help. He was quite sick for a while after he came out. The well is on the parsonage lot, and Wash says he had been in it twice before and discovered no gas till now. Dr. Geo. W. Clower was in town last Tuesday, 28th, and reported ripe watermelon at his house. The Dr. iB usually very' successful in raising this succulent melon. The crops of small grain are unu finally small throughout this section. Mr. T. E. Zellars had in his office t few days since the only ripe peach I've seen. It was tempting. He al lowed me to smell it, and it made me think of “the old plantation,” and the orchards of trees bowed down with the luscious fruit, and a gay, thought less, happy boy climbing out for the ohoicest, ripest and juiciest of the fruit. But those days are gone, and departed also are that kind of trees. Now we have a progressive age, that has extended to the peach orchards, and we have almost progressed out of peaches by having substituted the “budded” or “grafted” for the old re liable “seedling” varieties. Climat ic changes may be the cause of the failures of the peach crop, Bolely—I do not know—but we have no peach es. A most timely rain commenced falling Monday night, and up to this writing (Tuesday eve,) continues to tall in gracious showers. While on a business trip to Ho- gansville last Mocday I learned that Mr. Judson Mobley, who has suffered a great deal with rheumatism recent ly, is improving rapidly under “cold water treatment” in Atlanta. His many friends will hear or this gladly Hope he will continue to improve until “King Richard is himself again.” Mr. R. M. Wood, who lives three miles above town, says that on Satur day, the 18th inst. be saw the famous “belled buzzard” on his premises. It was on the ground near his barn imd within twenty feet of where he stood. He saw the bell distinctly, which seemed to be about the size of a turkey egg. It tinkled only when the bird’s wings were in motion. An other buzzard seemed to be in oom- pauy with it. A drunken negro has beenseen in our town in open daylight riding a mule up aDd down the railroad track, and by his loud talking and general be havior seemed to think— “I nm monarch of all I survey— “My right there is none to dispute." All news items, including anything and everything of general interest to the public and which will assist in making a full and impartial report of the affairs and incidents of Grantville and vicinity—if sent “Arden” will be appreciated. Arden. June 28th. Turin. Mr. Editor:—It was my pleasure to attend the closing exercises of Prof. Pollock’s school at Senoia this week; but as you have correspondents at that place I will not attempt to write up the Professor nor his school. Both are successful. The address of Prof. C. L. Moses, of your city, was a masterly ef fort and seemed to be greatly enjoyed by those who heard it. Senoia is bless ed with educational facilities, but to an interested observer it would seem that her advantages might b« greatly In creased and made more permanent by consolidating the two institutions un der one management. The good people of Senoia know how to take care of visitors about meal time ; at any rate, this scribe was for tunate. We were entertained at the hospitable home of Mr. Tom Jones, and no longer wonder that the genial Tom pulls the beam at 240. If every man had just such a a wife as he has there would be more portliness in this country. Miss Tallulah Clark, of Jalappa, S. C., is visiting relatives in these parts. This section has been blessed with delightful showers recently and crops are improving. Farmers feel that, with ODe or two more good rains at the proper time the corn crop will be safe. Rev. Mr. BrannaD, of the Fairburn circuit, was among his many friends on Saturday and Sabbath last and preached several sermons that made Turinites resolve to bend their efforts toward reaching the goodly land of which the preacher spoke. Tom North is happy again. Boy. Turin is on the lookout for a school teacher, as Rev. J. B. Hunnicutt de clines teaching another term. Holly Springs Cbnrch will hold her annual meeting on Friday before the third Sunday in July. An old lady by the name of Jacobs and her daughter both died near Brooks Station on Sunday morning last—only an hour or so .intervening between their deaths. Both were members of White Water Baptist Church. R. A. T. June 29th. i The receipts and expenditures in cident to the inspection of fertilizers in Georgia for the past season are as fellows: 166,07S,0S tons have been in spected, the fees amounting to <83,039,- 01. The expenses have consisted of tags, express charges, telegrams, dray- age, stationery, and traveling expen ses, all of which amounted to $4,771,- 66, leaving a balance which was paid into the Treasury, of $78,307.35. The salaries of inspectors amounted to $10,200, leaving a net balance of §68,- 107.35. This is the largest net balance ever paid into the Treasury on this ac count save one, which occurred in the season of 1SS4-5, when it amounted to $70,1S3.75. • The Chattanooga Tradesman re ports the following new industries and railroad companies organized and pro jected in Georgia during the three months ending June 30: - Agricultural implement works 6, brick works 11, bridge works 1, car shops 2, compresses 6, cotton and wool en mills 12, electric light works 4, foundries and machine shops 4, fur naces 4, fertilizer works 6, flour mills 1, gas works 5, grist mills 1, ice facto ries 2, lime and cement works 5, mines and quarries 22, oil mills 5, railroads 9, roiling mills 1, street railways 15, water works 7, wood-woraing estab- raents 41, miscellaneous 32. The negroes of Atlanta, headed by Elder Gaines, recently petitioned the board of public schools not to appoint Northern white teachers, but to give them teachers of theirown cclor. They Btatad that they did not want social equality in church or school, and es pecially they do not want Northern white teachers. The board granted their request, and hereafter none but colo»d teachers will he empley-l to | country people who are daily exposed to snakes, mad-dogs, scorpions, spi ders, and the like! And there are the poor little country babies, always sub ject to colic and other infantile ail ments. To deprive the country peo ple of this greatest of earth’s blessings is despotic and unconstitutional. Town folks have a heap of curious ideas and foolish notions about things. They want tbe people to elect men to the Legislature to ratify laws, instead of making them and allowing tbe peo ple to ratify, as used to be the way. I think liquor is a blessing when prop erly used, and those who use It right ly should have it if they need it. I am as much a temperance man as any one living, but don’t think be cause some abuse tbe blessings of this life that all should be deprived of them. Fried chicken don’t agree with everybody, but it does with me and my folks. Then let us have it, and all others that need it. Our little girl, Florence Ellen, is quite sick. Poor little Jack Palmer hasn’t lain down to sleep in two weeks. He is a great sufferer from asthma. Mr. Hyde's child is better. Mrs. Talbot Carter is suffering from neuralgia. If there is anybody else sick or gone off on a visit, I don’t know it. Light showers are passing around and blue-stem collards look somewhat revived. Come to the singing next Saturday and Sunday. Some of your kinfolks will be there and a heap of ether folks, too. Ripples. June 29th. Notes From “Old McIntosh.” Mr. Editor:—“The jolly young threshermen” have been abroad in the land for the past two weeks. Messrs. Arnold & McDonald finished up the rounds last week. The yield, although decidedly better than for two years past, failed to realize the expectations seemingly warranted. That Of Mr. J. R. McCollum’s wheat was the best of which we have heard, averaging fourteen bushels to the acre. Messrs. Oliver Waltom and Sandy Camp, with a new thresher aud en gine, have taken quite an extensive range. It seems that we are in no danger of suffering from drought. A bountiful shower refreshed vegetation last Wed nesday afternoon, and to-day the east wind, which has been forewarning us for two days past, brings with it a gen tle, ceaseless rain, that promises a full “season.” Crops generally are looking well. Corn is exceptionally fine, and its area more extensive than for years past. The health of our community is good. Mr. R. N. Carmichael, who has been confined at home with rheu matism for three weeks or more, is nearly well. “Uncle” Simon Jack- son, an aged and respected colored cit izen, a tenant on Mr. Carmichael’s place, died last Tuesday afternoon. Quite a number from “these parts” are anticipating attendance on the soldiers’ reunion at Powder Springs. Miss Grace Herring is visiting rela tives in LaGrange. Mt. Gilead owes to Rev. J. B. Hun- uieutt (who fills her pulpit every fourth Sunday) a vote of thanks for the wholesome, vital truths taught in last Sunday’s sermon. The text, from Titus 3:1, “Put them in mind to be subject to principalities and powers, to obey magistrates, to be ready to every good work,” he made the foun dation of a discourse upon the duties inseparable from the privileges of citi zenship. It would be both easy and interesting to give a rynopsis of a ser mon that would not have failed to im- E ress every thinking hearer; but it is oped that Mr. Hunnicutt will re produce it in a form to give more wide spread benefit. The thoughts were strong and timely, and earnestly, sometimes eloquently presented, stud we could have wished the house crowd ed with voters, were it not that the mothers, wives and sisters of voters —j-j ' “»— Subscriber. can find in our midst, however—and so can Mr. Freeman if he will take the trouble to look—infirm old men and women, delicate ladies and confirmed invalids—all of irreproachable charac ter, too—to whom this “stuff” it in large measure the very meat and drink of life. Almost universally It is in bad taste to inject personalities in to a discussion, and vet Mr. Freeman himself furnishes the best illustration I can find of the truth of what I have said. Public sympathy has gone out to him strongly on account of the sore affliction in bis family during the past few months, and the most rabid pro hibitionist acquainted with his un compromising temperance principles could hardly censure him that he has, from time to time, been forced to yield to tbe necessity of obtaining spirituous liquors for medical pur poses. If he has suffered any of tbe qualms of conscieuce that, uDder any stress of circumstances, be has en couraged tbe liquor traffic, it may con sole him to learn that about every prominent prohibitioList in t’-e coun ty has been guilty of the same breach of consistency. Assuming, then, that spirituous li quors are at the least highly valuable for medical purposes, it seems clearly the duty of the county not only to leave them where they may be had but had by rich aud poor alike. Mr! Freeman can hardly be ignorant of the fact that much of what is con sumed, both in Newnan and Coweta county, is shipped from a distance; nor can he doubt that these ship ments would continue e ,’en after the establishment of total prohibition, Wealthy men, and those in easy cir cumstances, would continue to get all they wanted, with none of the worry of prohibition laws; but upon the poor and destitute it would work a grievous hardship. A few days since a gentle man, when requested to sign one of Mr. Freeman’s petitions, replied, in substance: “Certainly; I get all the liquor I use from New Orleans any how.” And so it would continue to inalienable right of every citizen to be be with those who are able to order ini, his own judge in matters of that kind needed to bear it too. June 28th. LuthersYille. Mr. Editor:—Mr. and Mrs. J. I. Upshaw, of Concord, are visiting rel- a tives and friends in this place. Prof. W. A. LeRosen, of Palmetto, spent Saturday and Sunday here.

Mr. Editor:—In your last Issue was an article written by “Occasional,” in the last clause of which are these words: “Mr. Arnall Is the leader of the advanced Democracy in the coun ty, and backed up as he is by so many strong men—myself among the num ber—the Carlisle Locofoco wing of the Democratic party will tremble in their boots.” I would say to you that the four words “myself among the number” were not in the manuscript written and left in your office for publication. I feel that you have done me injustice by placing me in so ridiculous and unenviable a position before the good people of Coweta, and the readers of The Herald and Advertiser in particular. I suppose all that is nec essary is to call your attention to the discrepancy in the manuscript and-the article as published and tbe amende honorable will be made. Occasional.

I Mr. Freeman’s r.oposed Amendment. “For virtue's self may too much zeal be had; Tiie worst of madmen is a saint run mad.” considerable quantities, or to pay the necessary shipping charges; while the entire burden of Mr. Freeman’s pro posed amendment would fall upon the poorer classes alone. With the poor man prohibition would then be come not a legal, but a financial ne cessity, while the rich man could keen his gallons if he saw fit. But, apparently, the chief objection urged by Mr. Freeman to the existing order of things is that abuses creep in to the law, and he • announces by punctuation, by insinuation and by open declaration that men have sworn and do swear falsely in order to get possession of the “miserable stuff." The charge is a grave one, and should be made under no sort of uncertainty. Let me make plain its precise signifi cance: Spirituous liquors are sold in Coweta county for the most part by the quart, and at an average price of less than $1 per quart. We are asked, then, by Mr. Freeman to believe that the men of Coweta not merely perjure themselves and place their perjury up on records, open to the public, but that they perjure themselves for a misera ble pittance amounting to less than $1. In the absence of all specification— and Mr. Freeman makes none—no man who has taken the oath prescrib ed by law can know with certainty that he is exempt from this sweeping charge. There cau be no doubt that Mr. Freeman is in position to know whereof he speaks; and yet it seems a sad commentary upon the gratitude of consuming zeal that the people amoDg whom he was born and reared, and at whose hands he has been the recipient of evidences of honor and trust, should be branded as perjurers through the columns of the public press. Under the charge as made I submit that he can take no exception to the case as I put it. But, as if to prevent any ap pearance of discrimination between the public and its officials, he an nounces that, in his judgment, the re quiring of a physician’s prescription would throw but little additional safe guard around tbe liquor traffic, from the fact that physicians would be un duly influenced by the twenty-five- cent fee involved;—nor would it do to entrust the business to an official ap pointed by the county, since he would be sure to improperly swell his sales in order to make his office self-sustaining. In fact, Mr. Freeman seems to have fallen into a state of universal distrust pitiful to contemplate, and to be ready to exclaim with David, “I said in my heart all men are liars.” It is rather characteristic of enthu siasts to assume all honesty and integ rity of purpose to themselves. But the question suggests itself—Why trouble about humanity so poorly worth the saving? Is there not a vast waste of philanthropy here? Society furnishes numerous instances of re formed drunkards—as many, perhaps, of reformed gamblers—and it has been claimed that even murderers have been known to turn from their deeds of violence to become good and useful citizens; but the man is not living who has ever seen a reformed liar. He can’t be reformed any more than a black man can be made white, or a white man black. It is a constitutional vice without known remedy this side of heaven; and the confirmed liar is not and never can be worthy the pub lic confidence. In view of these cheer ful facts it would seem that Mr. Free man might spend his time and tron- ble to better advantage upon some more savable class. Again—he argues with clearness and force that, whereas the present prohibition laws were adopted by a majority vote, the Legislature could not with justice have annulled them, 88 was petitioned last fall, nnless a majority of qualified voters had joined in the petition; • but in apply ing his argument to the present agita tion he apparently reaches the conclu sion that in order to justify tbe radical change proposed he only needs the signatures of a resnectabie minority.

(and that is what this amendment would mean to the poor,) when, in bis judgment, the health of those nearest and dearest to him seems to demand it, is, to my mind, as utterly unwarrantable as to forbid his eating cucumbers because by many they are regarded as unhealthy. Society may, aDd should, protect itself, but has no right to enter the domain of personal responsibility even for the supposed benefit of the individual. But this is a big question, not ad mitting of discussion here. It has been correctly outlined in substantial ly the following words, which I shall give at tbe risk of seemiqg to invade the pulpit: “Around every human, every rational being, is drawn a cir cle. Tbe space within is consecrated to him who stands there; and—may I say it?—divinity itself does not pene trate there with any absolute, any coer cive ptswer. He compels the winds and the waves to obey Him; He compels animal instincts to obey Him;—but He does not compel man to obey Him. That sphere He leaves free. He may bring influences to bear upon it; but the last, final, solemn, in finite question of personal responsi bility is left with man alone.” It is into this circle that Mr. Freeman pro poses to penetrate with his amend ment, and where many good prohibi tionists will decline to follow him. We stand flat-footed upon the rec ognized necessity of spirituous liquors for medical purposes, and upon the In the last issue of The Her- .. . ald and Advertiser there appeared ! no stock in; but he should make him from the pen of Col. Alvan D. Free- ! self clear upon this point. He has plea for total prohibition in man . Coweta county. It was inevitable that such an article, at such a time and from such a source, would attract widespread attention, and many and varied have been the comments ex cited. In any discussion of the sub ject Mr. Freeman eDjoys the material advantage of being identified with the cause of temperance—a cause to which but few, if any, would, I apprehend, be willing to profess themselves un friendly. If, therefore, his commend able zeal should at any time lead him into the realm of fanaticism, tbe realm of temperance lies apparently so bard by that those to whom he would ap peal are most likely to be mystified as to his exact whereabouts. An error that is half truth is the most trouble some of all errors to set right. But I have no disposition to figure as public guardian—a role for which both talent and inclination seem to have fitted Mr- Freeman—and will, therefore, proceed to the matter in hand. Tbe amendment to our -prohibition law urged by Mr. Freeman is radical, and its adoption should be well backed by weighty considerations. Tbe existing laws are based upon the supposed necessity or desirability of the various forms of spirituous, vinous and malt liquors for medical pur pose*, and every quart sold at tbe three Holding thus, we believe that our ex cellent prohibition laws cannot be tampered with except to their hurt, and shall be much surprised if the good voters of Coweta are not of the same way of thinking. Spectator. The Nuptials of Major J. TV. Fulmer and Miss Corinne Mansfield. Memphis Avalanche, 22d ult. Cavalry Church, in which has trans pired so many brilliant marriages dur ing the past few years, was last even ing the scene of another less imposing than few that have ever taken place there. It was again crowded to over flowing by the fashionables in at tendance, and its benediction was once more pronounced over the heads of a young couple just launched into tbe unknown sea of matrimony. Tbe event was the wedding of Maj. J. W. Fulmer and Miss Corrinne Mansfield both of this city, and both of old and prominent families, the groom beiDg one of the partners in the wholesale firm of Fulmer, Thornton & Co., and the bride the daughter of Mr. S. Mans field, of S. Mansfield & Co. The wed ding, as all such recherche affairs are, had been talked of and thought of a great deal for several weeks by society folks, and it was evident from the large turnout last night that it bad ex cited more than usual interest. The weddiDg was to have taken place at 7:30 o’clock, but unavoidable circumstances delayed the arrival of the bridal party until nearly 8. In the meantime Prof. Levy had been high ly entertaining the assembly with good music, and they were as patient as could be. At a signal given the or gan pealed forth with unusual merri ment, and when the audience turned to look towards the door the ushers were seen marching slowly up the middle aisle to the pulpit. They were Messrs. Tbos. G. Boggs, M. R. Mea- client, Charles Hunt, Lee Beard, Ike Walts, Jack Dunscombe, J. J. Shoe maker, Tonnie Gwynne and John Rogers. Following these came the bridesmaids—Misses Pearl Neely, Mat- tie Hunt, Miss Wood of New Orleans, Jennie Day, Clyde Thornton, Ida Lee Treadwell, Metta Stratton, Ida Bruce, Lyla Lyons, and Miss Wheeler of Al abama, all of whom weie exquisitely attired in rich costumes, appropriate to the occasion. Next came tbe bride leaning upon the arm of her father. She presented a perfect vision of love liness. The costume was one of the most magnificent ever worn at a wed ding here. It was a toilet de Marie designed by Mme. Rasseau, of B. Lo- wenstein & Bro., Memphis, and the material from which it was made was soft and rich cashmere, finished in cream-tinted gros siciiienne, deatelle, duchess and point pompadour. No design could have been more ex quisite. Tbe beautiful face of the bride could be seen indistinctly, smil ing through the misty veil, which hung gracefully about the fair form of the wearer. After these had taken their places, the groom was ushered to the side of his betrothed by the best man, who was his brother, Mr. J. D. Fulmer, when the impressive ceremo ny was begun. Miss Katie Wilkerson was the maid of honor and stood be side the bride and groom during part of the time, while Rev. Dr. Burford, the present paster of the church, gave the solemD charge before formally uniting the happy pair. After tbe ceremony had been completed the party filed out of the church, entered their carriages and were driven to the home of the bride, where they enjoyed themselves until 10 o’clock, when the bride and groom left for St. Louis, from whence they go to California and the great West. The many friends of the two wish them bon voyage and a safe return.

Consist ency, to say notbiLg of higher consid erations, would seem to require as much, and the public would bave no disposition to find fault with bis vic tory if won in that way. A majority established these laws, and nothing less than a majority should undo them. Furthermore, Mr. Freeman should know that any law of this character not sustained by public sen timent is not worth its place upon the statute books. If he has the majority with him, those of us in the minority will not seriously question its right to commit any act of injustice or folly it may see fit. Now, as to the principles npon which we stand.
