Dudley Mann, „dter reading the letter which hia Ilolir sent to the Archbishops ot New York and New Orleans, instructing Ljn to use all their eilorts for the res- "atiou of peace between the North d r-outh, Mr. Davis determined to *“ I to the I’opo his own thanks and W , of his peoplo for the Christian nty and sympathy displayed in that • tie. This communication, dated September 23, 1803, reached me the ) llte r part of October, and X mile my preparations to leave ihe city oi llrusscls, where I was then staying, for Dome immediately. I reached the Eternal City on the 9th 0 (November; on the 11th I had an in terview with the Cardinal Secretary bf £.,» Antonelli, who assured mo of an Knee with the Sovereign Pontiff. Antonelli asked mo several questions lbout Mr. Davis, who, he said, had rreated lor himself a name that would ferever rank with those of the most il- natriouB statesmen of modern times. OB the 13th, accompanied by my son, *lio was also my private secretary, I entered the Vatican, and was received Lifts Holiness, Pope Pius IX. Very goon after my entrance, and after I had made known to him the ob ject of my mission, ho explained to why he had sent his letter to the Archbishops; that it was because he had been so alliictcd by the horrors of our war that liehadasked his priests to use their influence toward termina ting the deplorable state of hostilities then in existence. I then handed him the letter from Mr. Davis. Ho took it, looked for a moment at the address, then at the seal, and then cut the en velope. ‘It is in English, a language thaLt donotunderstand,’ lie remarked. ■If Sis agreeable to your Holiness, my Kcretary will translate its contents to yon,’ I said, and ho replied that be would be gratified if my son would do •0. The translation was made in French, slowly and distinctly, and during its progress I did not cease for an instant to carefully survey the features of the I’ontiff. A sweeter expression of pious affection, of tender benignity, never adorned the face of mortal man. Every scntenco of the letter appeared to Bensibly affect him. At the conclusion of each, he laid his hand down upon the desk and bowed approvingly. When the passage was retched wherein Mr. Davis states that ‘we have offered np at the footstool of onr father who is in heaven prayer In- epired by the samo feelings which ani mate your Holiness,’his deep-sunken oris visibly moistened, were upturned toward the throne Upon which ever sits the Prince of l’coce. The emotion occasioned by tho translation was suc ceeded by a silence of some timo. At tagurhi I It linrss askrd w 11• *t!11• r M r. Divii was a Catholic. I answered in the negative. Ho then asked if I was one, and I informed him that I wan r. • i! - I l"lim*s.s nnu M;itt‘<I that tin* Northern government had endeavored an impifsHion abroad that they were fighting for tho abolition ef slavery, and that it might perhaps be judicious in us to consent to grad ual emancipation. I replied that the subject of slavery was one ■■ 1 ' ll the ’ gnvmMiMMit of the Confederate Statej, like that of the old United States, had no control whatever; that all ameliora tions with regard to tho institution ' t r.'ivnl from the States them- •dvet, which were as Hovereign in their character In this regard ns Great Britain, France, or any other continen tal power or jHta to; that true pliilan- throphy shuddered at the thought of the liberation of the slave in tho man ner attempted by Mr. Lincoln's ad- nuniitration; that such a procedure would be practically to convert tho well-cared-for, civilized negro into the ttmi-barbarian; that such of our slaves •* had been captured or tiocoyed off by our enemies t in an incomparably worse condition than while they were in the of their masters; that they wished to retain to their old homes, the love of which was the strongest of »«raffections; that if. indeed, Afri can slavery were an evil, there was a P°Wfr which, in its own good time, would doubtlesM remove that evil in a oore gentle manner than that of caus- mg the earth to be deluged with blood lor its sudden overthrow. His Holiness r * c *ived these remarks with an ap proving expression, and said that Iliad to be proud of tho self-sacrificing -uetotion of my countrymen to |the cause for which they wi-re eontend- The most ample reason.* I rc- and yet scarcely so much as of r °^uitrywomen, whose sorrows and Vnvsopns, whose transformation in instances from luxury to penury, were unparalleled, and r«mid not b-ad- *joately described hv any living lan- There they had been from tho |??mencement, there they wore still, September of the present year. It was certainly a cause of no ordinary rejoic ing to us to be informed—by this gen tleman, and by tho letter of your Ex cellency—of tho lively satis faction you experienced, and of tho deep sense of gratitude you entertained toward us, illustrious and honorable sir, when you first pe rused our letters, addressed to those venerable brothers, John, Archbishop of New York, and John, Archbishop of New Orleans, on tho 18th of October of last year, in which we again and again strongly urged and exhorted those venerable brothers, on account of their great piety and episcopal solici tude, to make it the object of their con stant efforts and of their earnest study, acting thus in our name, to put an early end to the fatal civil war prevailing in that country, and to re-establish among the American people peace and concord, as well as feelings of mutual charity and love. It was also peculiarly gratifying to us to hear that you, illustrious'and honorable sir, as well as the people whom you govern, are animate J by the same desire for peace and tranquillity hich we so earnestly inculcated in the letters referred to, addressed to the said venerable brothers. Would to God that the other inhabitants of those regions (the Northern people) and their rulers, seriously reflecting upon the fearful nature bf intestine warfare, might, in a dispassionate mood, hearken to and adopt the counsels of peace. We, on our part, shall not cease offering up our most fervent prayers to Almighty God, begging and supplicat ing Him, in his goodness, to pour out upon the people of America a spirit of Christian charity and peace, and so reiyiie them from the multitude of evils now afflicting them. We also pray the same all-clement Lord of mer cies to shine upon your Excellency the light cf His divine grace, and to unite you and ourselves in bonds of perfect love. “Given at Rome, at St. Peter’s, the 3d day of December, 1803, in the eighteenth year of our pontificate. “Pius P.

The Affecting; stbry of n widow Who Kept Bonrders. , Detroit Free Press. She was t(ie impersonation of the good-natured, old-fashioned, kind- hearted and motherly landlady. She was fat and forty, and as she sat down to tell tho superintendent of police her story she smoothed down her check apron and sort o’ tucked up her sleeves as if getting ready to lay the founda tion for a pot-pie. “Twowceksago,” shebegan, "a very distinguished-looking man about fifty years old called at my house to secure board.” “Yes’m.” “He represented himself as a visit ing statesman, and 1 gave him the best room and the head of the tablo." "What’s a visiting statesman?” “Well, that’s one thing I want to ask yon about. I alius s’posed a states man was a member of Congress, or had something^ other to do at Washing ton. I kinder made up my mind he was visiting the hole they dug for the new post-oflice, or wanted to see sun- thin’ about the custom-house, or was a government agent for the cholera.” “Urn. Well?” “Well, when Saturday come he said bis credentials hadn’t arrived, and in stead of paying his board ho borrowed of mo. ’ “What credentials?” “I dunno. X never saw anything of the sort, and dunno what they are made of or how they look. 1 didn’t want to give my ignorance away to a visiting statesman, and so I didn’t ask any questions.” “Well?" “Well, the next Saturday afternoon ho came in rather hurriedly and. said his credentials bad arrived, and wanted $ 10 to get them certified.” “How certified?” “I dunno. 1 ’sposo it had something to do with swearing on a Bible, and it struck mo that *10 a swear was awful dear. However, I let him have tho money.” “And you havon’t seen him since?” “No, sir. Do you think he could have fallen into tho river?” “Ho was a fraud, madam. He has played you for two weeks board and $15 In cash.” “La! but you don’t say so!" “Thai’s tho cose." • "G-eat stars! but he was a visiting statesman! If our statesmen descend to such tricks, wbat will this country come to?” . ,. “He lied to you; tho fellow probably never saw Washington.” “Mysakes! hut did you over! And them credentials?” “All bosh.ma’nm.” “Great cata! but it makes me shiver all over! Ami so I’m beat!” “Yes.” “Well! iWell! - Did I ever!

The stock law is in force in several of the militia districts of this county, and among them is Peachtree district, or North Atlanta. Charles Howell, a col ored man, runs a small farm in the dis trict, and was recently annoyed by the hogs of Mr. Phil McIntyre getting into and damaging his crops. Taking ad vantage of the stock law, Howell ar rested and impounded the hogs, claim ing his damages against them. McIn tyre did not see the matter in the same light with Howell, and deliberately broke down tho pound and drove away bis hogs in triumph. For this act he was indicted, and yesterday had his trialinthe City Court. The testimony was dear as to the commission of the offenco, and the jury returned a verdict of guilt#.

Albany Medium* Meeting an East Dougherty farmer r day, wc inquired: ..in the presence of disaster, are solidly op posed to the party which has controll ed the federal government during tho riod of their rehabilitation. What is caued this state of feeling? Where does the germ of political boI- idity in the Soutli have its seat? Does it rest in disloyalty to the federal gov ernment or a dislike of the Northern people, or is it rather begotten of fidel ity to the law? The South is not smart ing from political disappointment, for it has put forward no candidate for a controlling federal position since the war. It does not dislike the people of tho North, for it has voted with great heartiness for candidates for the highest positions in the government whose dis tinction was gained by military and civil opposition to the Soutli during the war. No man of national fame coming from the North has. visited the "Soutli since peace was declared who has Dot been received there with cordiality. Tho Southern peoplo cannot, therefore, truthfully be charged with contumacy. Their hostility to the Republican party rests upon other grounds. FEDERAL ENCROACHMENTS, When tho Soutli" returned to tho Union it took upon itself an obligation to obey the constitution of the United States, with the amendments thereto, and all laws enacted in pursuance .thereof. This obligation included the duty of resisting enactments in viola tion of the cortstitution. The duty of resisting unconstitutional laws is os sacred as the obligation to obey constitutional ones. In our jurispru dence tho Federal and Stato govern ments, operating witiiin their respect ive spheres, compose but one govern inent. The functions of one govern ment are divided between them. They both make one system. Neither can bo impaired without constitutional in jury to tho other. Thoso provisions of tho constitution of the Union which forbid the general government from subverting the State are as highly es teemed by tho federal constitution it self as is any other provision thereof, so that he who resists an, encroach ment of the federal upon Stato power docs high service to the constitution and the Union. UNCONSTITUTIONAL LAWS. On thi 31st day of May, 1870, Con' gress, in the bands of the Republican party, passed, @nd a Republican Presi dent approved, an enactment the third and fourth sections of which under took to seize and control tho whole election machinery of the Southern States, and to subject officers of State elections to Federal supervision. The effect of this enactment, if sustained, would have been to destroy the in dependence of these States in their dogmatic concerns. This enactment was resisted by the South, and after breeding political pestilence tor four years, was declared void by the Supreme Court of the United States. In 1871 Congress en acted what was Known in the revised statutes of the United States as section 5519. The section was broad enough in its terms to extend Federal criminal jurisdiction to the trial and punishment of two or more persons who deprived either directly or indirectly any person of class of persons of the equal protec tion of the law or of equal f irivlleges or immunities under the awe, thereby transferring to the Fed eral government, all offices ot which were filled by Republicans, power over local political matters, by the constitu tion confided to the States. Under this pretended law indictments were found In federal courts and proseentions car ried forward until 1882, when the Hu preme Court annulled it. On March 1,1875, the civil rights act, entitled “An act to protect all citizens in their civil aud legal rights” was approved. The scope otthis act is indicated by its title. It covers the remnant of State jurisdiction uninvaded by former actsot Congress. In 1883 this act shared the fate of its revolutionary predeces«or», and was cast out of the family of laws by tho Supreme Court ot the United States. That court says of it in declar ing it void: “In other words, it steps into tlie domain of local jurisprudence, and lavs down rules for the conduct of individuals in society toward each other, and itbposes sanctions for the enforcement of these rules without re ferring in any manner to any supposed action of the State or its author! ties,’ iation, in which Southern political solidity has its root and by which it is fertilized, be abated, present party re lations in the Soutli may dissolve and Southern thought affected on economic and administrative questions as the thought of other sections is affected. The Swimmin' Place* H. J. Burdette in the Burlington Hawkeye. I mean “swimming place?” Not much 1 do not. I mean swimmin 1 place. I never heard it called anything else, anil I’ve been right there at thu place and swum—no, not swam, sn um; we didn’t swam in those days, we swum—swum in it a thousand times, and you never saw the place I don’t suppose. There was one boy, come to think of it, who called it a swimming place. Ho came from Vermont; his uncle was a judge, or Governor, or shoemaker, or something of that kind. He said awftahnoonand grawss and lie called a burr a buh. He came up to Charlie Eiting’s with us one “awftah- noon” and said it was a charming swimming place, and asked Bud I’eters if the “watah was wahm.” Bud he told him how warm it was, and then said it was cooler and nicer in the shade, right where the big flat rock was. And this boy. who called it a swimming place, he went down to the big rock—you remember, right under the ico chute?—and jumped in. There were two things that combined, as Buh Peters had truly said, to make the water cooler for all, and nicer for some purposes, right by the big flat rock. One was a living spring of clear, cold water that came gushing up out of tho deep, cold, sunless caverns of the earth right there. The other was, the rock was also the terminal point of a drain from the big ico houses, and the water from the melted ice, whenever it melted, mingled its frostiness with the limDid currents of the spring and thus developed a latent heat that couian’l have been much latenter in on iceberg, As I remarked, right here the boy who called it a swimming place jumped in, Now, if a hoy feels to si • • * would like to holler, I am the one to get up every time and move the unani mous consent of the house that he may holler with a free course, and no" re straint or embarrassment. So when this boy, after jumping into about fir feet of ico water, gave one horrified gash that was enough to curdle the ice, onu then held bis breath for a second and stood with ilia two eyes standing out past his nose and thnist his hands witli all fingers extended, high up in tho air, I knew he was seized with n strange and morbid desire to make a little noise, so I said to my comrades: “Fellows, stand back and give him plenty of room. He’s going to holler and he’ll need ail the air he can got. I fell off the chute into that spring once myself.” Yon see how a broad experience in this life enables ns to put ourselves more thoroughly in our neighbor’s place, and deepens and lntenaifies ear sympathies. Tlie next moment my gloomy fore bodings were realized. The nice boy "hollered.” A wild, free howl, tlint spread its sweeping pinions on the blast, and went booming over tlie waste of waters like a tiling of life, and wakened a thousand disconlant echoes in tho distant hills beyond tho startled lake. And tho half-clad boys on tlie pebbly shore danced like wild canni bals in their savage glee, and shrieked in mocking echo of the nice hoy’s howl, and cast sand upon each other’s red-ribbed backs to show their joy. And when that boy floun dered aud (Uttered ashore and stood there, shivering and gasping in the life-giving rays ol tho July sun, we lay down on the ground and held oar aching sides with penitent hands, and only asked the one poor boon, that the Icehouse might fall over on top of ns right then and there. Only one hoy who had enjoyed himself more than the others, asked that some kind person wonid amputate his limbs, or, as he rudely expressedit in song, “Saw my leg off.” Then we rubbed the cold boy with dry sand until we mit him nice and warm and red and real tender, and he became a good boy and went with us often, and learned many tilings, and wo eventually taught him In asv "(■rimmin’ hnln >• (list fn tlm •ritealetr ‘ to he 1 lie ' -I character that it | ■ Ullfcstcil II!' 1 V ■ l'lll.iw - 1 I, t),f Cun fed* r- —Il i I - Tit In l - Si:, Gruetin.,: We '■ I suli all the kindness to him, till- envoy sent tiy IVr ...;; '*.* :• convey to us your * of tfie month ol i the otl: “Cott» »n opening?” **V« s fast/* he replied. “Picked any yet?”^ “oh, yes! several bales. 1 “Why didn't you bring a bale to t' wn?

The slavering Ver monter had made a complete and easy capture of a dozen or fifteen wild West erners in one fell swoop; we liked him from that minute from tho ground tip, and never made up a party after that without him. And when Bud Teters, with a funny kind of grin on liis sor rowful face, walked over to the Ver mont boy .and held out his hand, tlie enthusiasm went off like a rocket. What an honest animal a boy is any how. • What mean things he can do; what cruel tricks he .can play on a fel low ; how generous are oJa impulses; how brave and manly the better side of his nature; how much of his bad ness is pure thoughtlessness, the heed lessness of a young colt; under his noisy, rough, boisterous turbulent sur face, what a sensitive shrinking heart there is, proud, ambitious, timid, fool ishly ashamed to show its better im pulses, fearful that you may discover its ambitious dreams; ho loves a boy who can make the longest jump and run the swiftest, and he nates with equal fury a sneak and a bully; he will throw off his coat and jump into a fight and take a “licking” any timo for a friend, and will walk around two blocks out of his way rather than meet a girl to whom he will be expected to speak; os differ- ent when you get him alone from what he is in a crowd that yon think he may bo two entirely different boys. * DO NOT BE DECEIVED By tbs heavy artillery ol onr competitors’ thundering BIG BARGAINS. ‘LOW PRICES AND J.

Higdon, the solicitor, to a Journal. reporter. “Let mo tell you why,” said he. “Baseball is a first class exercise if taken in moderate quantities, and as notv played by tho League nines is un doubtedly good sport for the on-look ers, but it kills tlie men. This will not do. Tho game is altogether too violent. It must bo made more scien tific and less dangerous, audit will do. Why, even insido ot twenty-four months we can expect to see the now- overworked pitcher will havo a little more to do than place tho ball into n catapult or spring gun that will throw- perfect strikes, curved ot course to suit tho pleasure of tlie operator, but noth ing wild.

Tho hall will dart from tho muz- zlo of tho gun, arttl probably make a lunge toward tlie lemonade stand, or start out like a ‘fly,’ but it will always manage to get around over homo baso in Henson to bo called a strike.” “Rather rough on tho catcher," commented tlie reporter. “Why.no: the catcher would have a very easy time.

It lias eighteen distinct rattles besides the button. It was doubtless over eighteen years old, seven und s half feet long, and William says as big as a stove pipe. It was easily killed. It msde but little resistance. A SUBVERSION OF LIBERTY. That ail these so-called laws were unconstitutional is no longer questiona ble. Tho Supreme Court, composed of judges, all o! whom were appointed by Republican Presidents, so hold. Tlie destructive oflect of this legislation 1 the government is strikingly viv- If sustained, it would have dis mantled the States. Its revolu tionary force wss so potent that it filled the Southern mind witli alarm and provoked the solid op position of intelligent whites. It can from no standpoint be justified. It was -not to the advantage of the colored peo ple, for their good could in no way be promoted by violating the constitution. Constitutional government in this country is tlie only highest hope oi tlie people. To subvert that government is to bury the liberty of whites and blacks in one common grave. RACE CONFLICTS.
