Some scandal monger has created a
sensation by attempting to make Mr.
Gladstone a roystcring blade. The
public is called on to believe that this
distinguished man, even in bis declin
ing years, has been a very dissolute
person. The world has learned to
look upon the present British premier
as much of a Puritan and something of
a prude, and will be slow to adopt an
opposite opinion. Mr. Gladstone, like
most of men, has not grown old enough
not to be easily flattered by women,
and to consider liimsclf quite a charm
ing beau. Those who can advertise
tl^msclves and advance their interests
by pandering to his vanity,have doubt
less taken advantage of him.
Candor compels the acknowledg
ment that the "grand old man,” as his
admirers delight to call him, has been
quite dissipated for a man ot his time
of life.
There is reason to fear that he may
have squeezed Mrs. Langtry’s hand
under the table, bat he has never, like
“Cump” Sherman, kissed tho cham
bermaids behind the scenes. It cannot
be denied that be had n pleasant little
breakfast party at which Mary Ander
son was a guest, hut Mrs. Gladstone
sat at the head of the table and si
lenced gossip by serving the tea.
It is just possible that the old gen
tleman has Indulged in amatory billet
doux In sending bouquets to the reigning
queens of the stage, hut Mrs. Gladstone
knowing hit weakness, has the mes
senger In her pay, and has the notes
and bouquets in her possession. The
most harrowing suspicion about this
business is that Mr. Gladstone lias been
on familiar terms with Dr. Ham Grif
fin, and it is just possible that he may
have learned to chew plug tobacco. No
secret Is violated in the statement that
particular people have been alarmed,
that Mr. Gladstone is known to wear
patent garters and to smoke cigarettes
There is no use to attempt to palliate
these crimes.
But Mr. Gladstone is not the only
premier who has been scandalized.
The only bon mol credited to Queen
Victoria is connected with a case of
this kind. As the story goes, Lord
Palmerston at 82 was accused of in
trigue. So soon as the matter became
public,through a friend,he asked of the
jealous husband for wlmt amount he
should fill a chcqne. The reply came
that nothing hut a peerage
could keep the cose oat of
coart. Palmerston went at once
to tiie Queon. "Your Majesty,” said
he, “has perhaps heard of a base at
tempt to blackmail me.” “Yes, M’
Lud,” said the Queen, “you of course
have offered the customary damages.
We cannot permit our Minister to be
scandalized, and onr purse is at your
service.”
"But, your Majesty,” said Palmer
ston, "the Iteggar swears that he will
compromise on nothing less than a
peerage.”
“Ah, M’ Lud,” replied the Queen,
I have already opened too many
avenues to the peerage. 1 cagnot, no,
not to save my crown, muclt lesa my
minister, I cannot open this one
As the scandal died out It Is supposed
tho loyal Britisher received his satis
faction in tho coin of the realm.
Steps arc being taken to hum the
book which scandalizes Mr. Gladstone.
The smoke from It will be as thin as
the charge that the scholarly old prime
minister, who carols a negro melody
now and then, chops a tree down for
exercise and occasionally tossea off a
heavy egg-flip for Inspiration, is a rake.
About his worst offense is composing
poetry in Latin.
Mr. Dabney Corrects Can.
Wo find in the Austin, Texas, States
man, the following card from Mr. Dab
ney, which not only corrects some of
'.he errors into which Gen. Iuboden
has fallen, but states the position of
Stonewall Jackson as to the policy of
pursuit after the first battle of Manas
sas:
The Century Mifizlne, for May, contains
General (then Captain) John D. Imboden's
animated narratlre of the battle of First Man
assas. It lidDfigured by two errors of fast,
which Justice constrains me lo correct.
Faso 07 he speaks ot calling at the
quarters of Gen. Stonewall Jackson, a lew
days after the btttle, and there seeing Mrs.
Jackson and her ‘little daughter Julia, still In
long drestea, 1 ; etc. Ol my own personal
knowledge I know that Mrs Jackson did not
visit her husband at hla quarter* in tha
month, and that Julia waa not born until more
than twelve months afterwards. (In Novem
ber or December, loOi This iuterrlew with
Gen. Jackson must have taken place about
July, 1801.)
OnUte santepageQen.Tmboden slates that
after Second Manassas, (September, 1801)
General Jackson at Edwards's Ferry crossed
the Potomac, put General D. H. Bill under
arrest for allowing his trains to encumber the
ford, and that when bis (Jackson's) chief
quarteimister. John Harman, had cleared the
ford by force of stentorian cursing and swear
lng, Jackson said smilingly,"Thank yon, Major!'
and rode on. Now, In fact, Major-General D. H.
Hill croased the Potomac, not at Edwards's
Ferry, but at "Toole's Ford,” six miles above.
Be and General Jackson bad not met for a
month, and there was never a "cross word"
between them.
Concerning the other rotate of General Im*
boden’s narrative I have nothing to deny or
affirm; nor do I presume to intimate to the
reader whether tbe credit of tbe remaining
narratlre should suffer by the two broad in
accuracies 1 bave pointed out.
I may also state, In connection, that Gen.
Jackson did not draw the same Inference
which Gen. Imboden drawl, frotn the lack ot
rations, teams, etc., at Manaasai, aa to the
propriety ot Gen. Johnston’s policy In failing
utterly to follow up his victory. I, myself,
asked Gen. Jackson in June, 1862, his
opinion of tbe Inactive policy pursued.
Knitting hla brows he replied sternly
and almost passionately: " Sir, it was
a deplorable blunde-. Did not tmt
thousand fresh men arrlre on tbe ground IM
next day, burning with eagerness to pursue
(he enemy, not one of whom was allowed a
chance to dtaw a trigger;" As to scarcity of
rations and teams, his answer was: ' That
rations were not created by sitting still; that
tbe country was then fall of provisions; that
the patriots might at well have begun to learn
then, wbat they had soon to learn so fully—to
march without rations and baggage train* In
order to win all-important victories and
wrest tbe supplies they needed
from their enemies." I have always
felt certain General Jackson was right; that
the real mottae of General Johnson’* inaction
waa not deficient rations, but bla cynical con
tempt tor an > mistrust of a volunteer soldiery,
whom be btd teenwlthaprotcsslonal disgust,
disorganized by their very victory. Tbe neg
lect to gather any frulta from this vital tri
umph waa the first of that long series of blun
ders which neutralized tbe gallantry of the
Southern people, and lost them tbe Indepen
dence they were so well entitled to win.
R. L. Dabney,
A Model Company.
The Houston (Texas) Light Guards
is now justly considered one of the
finest companies in the United States.
Some of our Georgia organizations that
have allowed their military spirit to flag
ought to consider what this company
by hard work, discipline and esprit du
corps has accomplished. In 1875 it
won at Austin the $500 sword, in i876
at Houston a United States
flag: in 1878 at Houston, the first prize;
in 1870 at the Houston Volksfest, first
money prize; in 18S0 at the Houston
Volksfest, $250; in 18Slat the Houston
Volksfest, $.150; in 1882at the Houston
Volksfest, $.'.'00; in 1682 at New Or
leans inter-state drill, second prize,
$500; in 1883 New Orleans inter-State
drill, second prize, $1,000: in 1884
Houston inter-State drill, first prize,
$5,000; in Mobile, 1885, $4,000; in New
Orleans, 1885, $2,000.
Here is victory by successive stages.
The famous Chickasaw Guards defeated
this Texas company time and again,
though each time by slenderer mar
gins,but atMobile and New Orleans tho
Texas company took the lead. Geor
gia lias only two companies that could
take part in any first-class competitive
drill, and only one that stands any
chance of winning. "We make a sug
gestion for the benefit of the boys in
gray; perhaps Georgia will treat her
sojer” boys more liberally when they
exhibit proficiency in the drill and re
flect credit upon the State as experts.
The Conteat Ended.
It will be seen by the morning dis
patches that John A. Logan has es
caped the quiet of private life after a
long and desperate struggle. The Leg
islature which elected him has been in
session for three or four months.
Logan goes hack to tbe Senate, of
which he has been a member
for many years, to lead the at
tack upon Cleveland’s administra
tion. It was promised by a leading
Republican journal that if Logan was
elected he would see to it that Cleve
land’s appointments were not con
firmed. As the Senate is Republican
by a comfortable majority, it is cer
tainly within the power of'that body to
hamper and annoy the President be
yond measure. Perhaps some of the
Georgia office-holders have allowed
themselves to become prematurely
happy-

Tha Power of tho Prasa*
A few week, since, at a dance which
took place in New Yotk, Police Ser
geant David II. Crowley succeeded in
getting an unsuspecting girl separated
from her friends, and having dragged
her, committed an outrageous assault
upon her. The crime was not a new
one in the great metropolis, and after
Crowley had been arrested and released
upon bond, tbe public supposed the af
fair would tie compromised or, through
political Influence, suppressed, for
Crowley was a ward politician and had
powerful friends.
But tbe first transaction by which
Crowley was freed left the girl in the
hands ot the law, an imprisoned
witness, and gained for her
the sympathy of the local
press, notably the World. The World
made the prosecution ot Crowley a la
bor of love, and kept public indigna
tion at auch a pitch that a ipecdy trial
waa obtained, and the result is Crow
ley has received a sentence which con
demns him to seventeen and a half
years at hard labor in the penitentiary,
What a triumph for a newspaper!
In this State two notable failures
have occurred within the last few
months—one in Augusta and one in
Atlanta—in ljotli of which there waa
large element of criminality. The Au
gusta incident has terminated in tbe
conviction of a man who stood high in
tbe estimation of the *pnblic, and for
whose downfall there waa universal
sorrow. The Atlanta incident termi
nated in the escape of a man who was
equally guilty. The result In both In
stances is traceable directly to the ac
tion of the local press.
It does wot need these illustrations
to establish the fact that journal* have
higher missions than the mere collec
tion of news, bat they are noticed here
to emphasize it That community
whose leading daily paper is debauched
by connection with rings, tzades. for
patronage and combinations for politi
cal preferment will continue to feel tbe
influence of the evil in conscienceless
juries, swayed opinions and rotten sen
timents bestirred by paid agents.

The Radical and Mugwump press is
greatly excited over the appointment
of Mr.Montgomery ,ot California,who is
to become assistant attorney for tho In
terior Department. lie Is said to be
an able and experienced lawyer, well
known to Attorney-General Garland
who haa selected him for the place,
Thj objection raised by the parties
relerred to is that he has written pam
phlets opposed to the public school sys
tem, and copies of these pamphlets
have been dug up and laid before the
President. If this is the only objection
that may be raised against Mr. Mont
gomery, Mr.Cleveland will he,in effect,
asked to make another qualification for
office, vis., support of the public school
system
If he shall in turn yield to this clamor,
no man may expected to pass muster
for a governmental position of honor and
profit who does not square his opinions
all subjects with those who control
the Republican press.
Mr. Montgomery has a right to have
his opinions about public schools, base
ball, ikating rinks, polo, the coaching
clnhs and any other amusements, em
ployments or public institutions ot the
country. These may or may not agreo
with those of a majority of the people,
bat he has a right to bold and express
them by word or pen, and they should
not work a disbarment to public posi
tion.
There are a great many people in
this country besides Mr. Montgomery
who are not in love with the public
school system of California or other
States, and there are features connected
with this system that should not com
mend them to thinking men.
Heretofore there has been at various
times and in different quarters much of
political excitement engendered by pol
iticians over the views of Protestants
and Catholic* about public schools.
Mr. Montgomery happens to be a Cath
olic. Perhaps this is the real objection
to him, bnt Attorney-General Garland
la also a Catholic. It comes from the
"special correspondent” at Washing
ton that Judge Field opposes Mr.
Montgomery. We know Judge Field
to be too intelligent and just a man to
oppose any one for office on the grounds
stated.
Judge Field may have a friend that
he prefers to Mr. Montgomery, or it
may be that Mr. Montgomery has been
besmirched with the wretched and
dirty political ring* that have prevailed
in California for these several years,
Tbe Mugwumps hate Judge Field to
■uch a degree that if he is really op
