Less than a month since the Tele graph pointed out to the public that the Atlanta Constitution, a journal that loves to plume itseli upon being the leading Democratic organ of Geor gia, was dumb over the proposed ap pointment of the renegade Speer to be a district judge in this State. To this the Constitution replied m language evasive and unsatisfactory, guardedly withholding any criticism upon the then ruling issue and indulg ing in remarks concerning the Tkle- UBAPn's course during the Presidential campaign, an issue long since discussed and laid aside in view of the fact that its constituency had indorsed and sup ported the Telegraph in the heartiest manner. One reason for silence as to Speer, given by the Atlanta organ, was couch ed in this language: "Wo knew that anything we could «ay to a Senate having a decided Republican majority would do more barm than good. * • Nothing we could aay would help defeat Mr. Speer before that body.” And again: "It it were a Democratic Senate we would haveaometbipgtosay." • * • "Wewlllbe on deck when we can avail anything.

Tilsas ought not to be auy trouble In finding a way to the North pole. There are three hundred and s' sty degrees lead ing light to it. All you need do la to se lect the degree along which you would pte- fer to travel, and than travel. "It la apparent," lays the Philadelphia Beoord, “that Senator Brown has very small Influence with the Democrats of the United Stetea Bpnate." It is also evident that be has very large Inttusnce with the Republican Senators of that body. Tnm Republican preee la oppoeed to Morgan’! bill giving the President power to suspend the coinage of silver dollars for one year, on the ground that It adde to the already large powers enjoyed by that officer. This la altogether a' new position {or Republicans. But, then, the next will be • new kind of President. Nearly every respectable journal in Georgia promptly denounced the ap pointment of Speer, and appealed to lie best element of the Senate to spare the State. Enough Republicans were secured to make the vote so near a tie as to place Mr. Speer’s election or de feat in the hands of the Democrats. The Atlanta Constitution did not join in this appeal to the “Republican Sen ate” because it “had no influence.' Why then did it not appeal to the Dem ocratic element? Why then did it not. speaking from Mr. Speer's home and the scene of his official fife, make such a showing as would have damned be yond redemption any man wearing the garb of Democracy who might dare vote for Mr. Speer? Why did it hot appeal to Mr. Brown,with whom it has been upon terms of intimacy, and to whom, by reason of support and de fense, it had the right to appeal? These aro questions the public will have to answer for itself. As the mat ter now stands Joseph E. Brown, the so-called Democratic Senator from Georgia, fs directly responsible for the outrage put upon this people in the shape of Emory Speer, and the Consti tution has failed to condemn it. “If it were a Democratic Sonate wo would have something to say,” said this journal. And when it was reduced to the mere matter of one Democratic Senator whom it had pressed and pushed for office, it had nothing to say. “We wifi he on deck wt en we can avail anything. The time is shor t and aro ready when it comes,” said this feeble party organ. The time was ample, but tills leading journal never put loot outot the cabin when the cry “all hands on dock” rang out amid the storm, hut sat with a wot towel about its head in tho cosy depths lielow. Now tliat treachery and au dacity havo boarded the craft, we doubt not that the Constitution will come on deck where stalk Republican Brown and Renegade Speer. This simple-minded contemporary was recently of the opinion that tiie. rtrjpiiMi-H was in position to ask favors of a Republican Senato. Very well; wo asked openly a favor, the re jection of Speer, and the Republicans rejected him. The Constitution is now in position to ask favors of Republican Brown anil Speer. Let these favors also he asked as openly os we have asked for hfs defeat. The henchmen of Brown raised up McDaniel to oust from a small but to him important position,the man pilose ote had made Brown a political possi bility. Colquitt is fiercely assaulted tho man whom he rescued from political degradation, under circumstances which mean that he or Colquitt must go down. Tho end is not yet, and these two men must contest in the political arena, while the people of Georgia are the real sufferers. Brown, backed by a Republican Senate, of which one of its organs declares he iB the hero, stands and poses as the proud political prestidegitateur. Will the hand of Nemesis be laid upon him, and when? This rises to the lips of the mortified and indignant people of Georgia. Retribu tion that he has so long avoided and escaped by an adroitness and inge nuity that seem to partake of super human power will halt at his doorj and leave a scar on his pride. It is the code of nature that no violation of her laws can go unpunished. An excess of exertion brings depression. Over- indulgence of appetite is followed by the pains of indigestion. And upon this principle is founded the written and unwritten law of human action. Society has provided the gibbet and the dungeon for criminals. There are crimes against society, individuals, and the masses of the people, whose punishment is left to an invisible Ne mesis. A henchman of Senator Brown in the fullness of pride for his late humil iation of the people of Georgia asks: What are you going to do about it? The form and truculent spirit of the inquiry are not new. Boss Tweed, who once ruled a larger State than Georgia with a rod of iron, who squandered millions upon his fo^rites, bought and sold legislatures and pub lic offices, and rioted in the luxury of power and place, asked this when con fronted by tho officers of the law and his crimes. Tweed died a pauper, friendless and alone in a convict’s cell. His family, his friends and his riches were scatter ed to the four quarters of the globe. The honest people of New York turned upon the creature who had deceived, plundered and insulted them find despoiled him of his pomp and power. The people of Georgia so long used to corrupt prac tices and unworthy representatives, seem to bo paralyzed beyond the point of resentful action; but there is a Nemesis that watches aud notes the time when their wrongs shall be righted. undefended youths were convicted of an offense of which they were not guilty, and incarcerated in a distant penitentiary. There is no more pitiful picture in all the outrages lieapedupon the South, under the color of law, than this, and Senator Brown helped to rivet the manacles of the prison on these boys and to burn the brand upon his constituents of the false charge that they had been guilty of ku-kluxism The Republican whip was cracked to this tune to drive unwilling partisans to aid Senator Brown in his dirty work, This is a fair specimen of the political work that Senator Brown has heretofore confined to Georgia. It is upon a plane utterly low and contempti ble, and calculated to debauch the men who are to govern this State in the fu ture. The suggestion at once rises in force, will the State of Georgia resent this wrong upon the part of one of her servants. Unfortunately, it must he written that the demoralization of those who are expected to speak out and lead an indignant and outraged senti ment, seems to havo gone be yond even the power of protest. The press is silent or so feeble in rc- monstranee as to be inaudible and in effective. It cannot be hoped tlial a Legislature which meekly submits to the unparalleled disgrace of being ad journed by a drunken rabble wifi of fend a man withmoney and patronage. But there are some true men in our Legislature. These may in some way interpret the wrongs oi their constitu ents. At last, this outrage is laid upon the shoulders of the Bemocratic party in Georgia. This party claims to repre sent the intelligence, the manhood, the courage and virtue of the people. If it does not rise in its might to re sent and punish this crime against its instincts, its interests, its traditions and its honor, it wifi have outlived the days of its power and usefulness and will fall an easy victim to the conspirators who have sought its ruin and disgrace.

Clark also rose rapidly in hil pro fession, becoming a circuit judge, one of the codifiers of the laws of Georgia and State counsel in the Dariem bank litigation. He was very prominent in the first rank of the Democratic party, and his vote decided tho nomination of Joe Brown when the convention had exhausted itself in a contest over La mar, Lumpkin and Gardner.

It la not the first time that the good people of this State have been out raged by Joe Brown, nor is this the only instance In which hla outrages have been indorsed and his course applauded by so- called representative organa and self- styled leading politicians, who "bend the pregnant hioges of the knee," etc. It Is rstber problematical what the people will do about It, but what they will tninfe about it is no secret.

As to Senator Brown nnd Emory Spser, One of the legitimate results of the Senatorial dicker ot.1880, by which the political disability of Senator Brown was removed, was achieved in Wash ington on Wednesday. In return for the unheard ot magna nimity with which he has been treated by a people who havo in the past heaped honors upon him, he joins their bitterest enemies, nnd by persistent ef forts hoa succeeded in putting upon them a humiliation and insult that defies language to properly characterize it. Tbe readers of this journal, in fact of any other respecta ble journal published in this State, aro familiar with tho circumstances which have slowly but aurely led up to the final consummation of the coalition be tween so-called Democrats and Repub licans, which now hold, supremo power. A failure to crush the com bination in Us infancy has given time to grow from the weakly propor tions of a sneak thief into the burly and.truculent form of a highwayman But for the conviction that the people of Georgia hod become sufficiently de based to submit to any imposition he might presume to place upon them Senator Brown, with all of his cool and calculating audacity, would not lm.o dared to stand and lead a Republican is 2i * or! i** 2ss*-ls “iicii b w ills vote to pat upon the peoplo ot bia State and a profession to which he was once at tached, a judge whoso ideas of justice are measured by self-interest and partisanship, and whose inclination to wickedness ia only held in check by his lock of physical courage. It is too plain even for mention, much less for argument, that Mr. Speer conld not have been confirmed save for the vote and personal exertions of Senator Brown. It is equally plain and fully aa well established that the constituents of Senator Brown were justly and unal terably opposed to Speer, not alone on account of his political course, which can alone be described by the word infampus, but for the resson, apparent to all, of his incom petency, resulting from an efflores cent intellect and an entire lack of moral sense. The protests of the bar and citizenry of the State were in the presence of this Senator when he so sinned against knowledge and right, and the fact that he may have been politically indebted to Speer and his pals constitutes no resson that the people of Georgia should have been called upon to pay the debt in bitterness and mortifica tion. No array of respectable kith and kin conld possibly make Speer clean and respectable, and Senator Brown knows tbst the names of best families in this and other lands have often appeared npon the dockets of criminal coarts and the rolls of punitory Institutions. Tbst Speer could ever make an im- partial judge is met and answered by the record of the case of the United States vs. the Yarbrough boys.

It may he stated briefly, though truthfully, that the roller skate has the floor. Of all amusements, roller skat ing is to-day the most popular. It has for the time being outstripped the the atre, dance, gymnasium and bicycle and bids fair to hold its own against boating, picnics, baseball and the spring sports in general. Tho roller skate seems to be irresisti ble. In the language of the stump ora tor, it “knows no North, no South, no East, no West,” but regards the entire united people as its own legitimate prey, regardless of race, color or pre vious condition. Communities that have for years successfully resisted the assaults of metropolitan innovations fall down before tho triumphant roller skate. Tho most straight-laced hurst their lacings and staggar helplessly when It takes an underhold and gets down to work. The rigid moralist, and the evil and stiff-necked generation stand upon the same foundation, and fall in unison if not harmony before the mighty conqueror. It causes not only the snpple hinges to bend, but’all the bingos of the human anatomy, creak and shudder though they may. It brings all men to h common level, puts old Father Time himself on wheels, and money tliat was wont to take unto Itself winga.to fly, now glides away and ia seen no more. This bleaaod land of freedom la, as we writo, filled with staggering men, plunging women, sprawling children, graceful and graceless, upright and cost down. And all on account ot the roller skate. Tho rollor skate, however, lias an enemy. The pulpit has arrayed itself against the wheel. Which ia right in the mighty contest now being waged ia difficult to de termine. It is likely that too much is demanded by iuo skate auu too little conceded by the pulpit. Beyond doubt, under certain circumstances, the gifted skate does develop the muscle and do no damage to the mind; bat it is also true that many who indulge too much in the company of the fascinating skate fall at times and strike npon their moral hnmp. Moderation is the safest rule in allsports; moderation and good company. The roller skate must be brought within the rule. The Adjourned" Legislature. Kufeula Times, Emory Speer has been confirmed.
