Tha Temperance Movement.
The temperance question has reached
a point where it concerns others than
the representatives of the liquor inter
est or the advocates of prohibition. We
ventured the opinion more than a year
ago that the conservative sentiment ot
the State would be forced to solve this
question, or elso permit it to become
an issue in our State politics.
Accepting Bibb county as an illus
tration, the liquor interest has been
united and aggressive for yearn in mak
ing up county representations in the
Legislature. The Good Templars, who
have been in session in this city during
the past week, passed a set of resolu
tions which were regarded, although
they may not havo been so in
tended, as a threat to carry
into the campaign of next year the
question of prohibition, unless the Sen
ate passed substantially the House bill
for local option.
The time has come, in our judgment,
when men who are not partisans on
either side should take hold of this
question and force a settlement upon a
sensible basis. Our Legislators can
not disregard the rights of the
whisky dealers, nor of our people
who elect to buy and use in a moderate
degree alcoholic stimulants. They
should also recognize the moral senti
ment that is behind the prohibition
movement. Between these elements, or
rather the first and last named, there is
an irrepressible conflict. If the settle
ment of this question is left to the ex
tremists, of which both sides are
made up, it must end in the total
annihilation of the one or the other,
aa neither proposes to yield anything.
Both profess a willingness to abide the
resulta oi county elections, to determine
whether or not tho retail of whisky
shall be permitted. Tliey also say
that they are reluctant, in view of the
dangers attending such a policy, to
cany this question into State politics,
If they are sincere, there is an easy
solution of the matter, which is to bo
found in a general local option law
in which the rights of both parties
shall be subjected to the same condi
tions of elections, first to determine
whether the retail business shall be
permitted or prohibited, and secondly
to ascertain if the public, after a lapse
of a given period, will confirm or re
verse their former judgment.
Our position touching this question
has been stated heretofore. We are
opposed to all sumptuary laws, because
they interfere with private rights. It
is no argument in their justification to
say that tho Individual should surren
der his personal rights in order to as
sist in a general reformation, moral or
otherwise. The State claims the alle
giance of the citizen, and in return is
bound to protect him in the enjoyment
of the largest liberty consistent with
the public good.
The evils of intemperance can be
corrected by proper laws and their vig
orous enforcement. The State has the
power to moke and. execute laws, and
it is her province and duty rather to
make drunkenness a crime and punish
it than to say to men who are temper
ate in the use of stimulants that they
shall be debarred from the use because
a small percentage of onr population
drink to excess.
We are willing to abide the will of a
majority of tha people of the county
in which we live, if they are opposed
to licensing barrooms for the retail
of liquor, and would prefer to
submit to any restraint that
prohibition would place upon its sale
rather than risk the dangers of a politi
cal campaign, in which thia question is
submitted to popular vote.
We appeal to the conservative mem*
bers of the Legislature to see toit that no
excuse is offered for carrying this ques
tion into the campaign of next year.
Tha Pallbaarars.
Mrs. Grant has turned over to Mr.
Cleveland the dnty of selecting pall
bearers for her husband’s funeral. The
plain intimation in her communica
tion is, that she wishes them taken
equally from Federal and Confederate
officers. If Mr. Cleveland can do thia
with a due regara to civil service re
form, her wishes will doubtless be re
spected.
Taking this view of the case, the
TxLxuBArn departs from its settled
policy to mike a suggestion, in fact al
most to ask an office. It can scarcely
be said that this ia done in bebali of
Georgia, for the gentleman is not a
citizen of Georgia and has not been for
some years.
But the country hasjnot failed to no
tice me tender intimacy between Gen
erals Grant and Gordon. When some
months since the first was reported
dead, the second, who was visiting
Georgia, was reported by an Atlanta
journal ai weeping at night, and on
horseback. The rally ot the patient on
the subsequent day prevented an
eulogy. But the eulogy has come
nnder somewhat remarkable surround
ings.
A correspondent of the New York
Times thus describes the performance
which occurred at a New Jersey water
ing place:

Gen. Gordon is an inspirational ora
tor. It may be remembered that on
his return from Europe, a few years
since, at a banquet at the Man
hattan Club, he suddenly arose at the
table and flew the American eagle,
oratorically, much to the astonishment
of the guests of the occasion.
While this eloquent tribute should
entitle him to a place in tho picture,
as well as his military services, he is
somewhat bound to the Grant family
in its financial reverses. During the
examination of the banker l’ish it was
developed that among tho treasures of
the firm of Grant A Ward, when it
started business, was a coal mine
turned in by Buck, who represented
it at a value of (152,000, and purchased
from Gen. Gordon. Fish did not
think much of it as a collateral, and
wanted to unload it, but whether
he succeeded in doing so did not then
appear. But the transaction itself
shows how near and dear Gen. Gordon
was to the Grant family. Under such
circumstances Mr. Cleveland will cer
tainly appoint General Gordon a pall
bearer, if it can be done with a due re
gard to civil servico reform.
- Tha Cootela Railroad Commission.
We publish under the above head
in our issue of to-day an extract from
the financial column of the New York
Mail and Express, to which we would
invite tho attention of every member of
the Legislature. As is suggested, Ma
jor Wallace has never contributed any
thing of consequence to tho building
of a railroad in Georgia. Northern
capital came forward and completed a
road which he undertook to build and
failed. It is also true that wejiave de
rived from tho same source 4 all the
money on bonds secured for this pur
pose for several years past, with the
exception ol a few branch lines neces
sary to some railroad already built, or
for the convenience of a few isolated
communities. Georgia will need other
railroads. Sho needs them now. It is
about time to consider tho question of
future negotiations for this purpose.
When the money is wanted wilt Major
Wallace furnish it? Will he?

Death ol Col. Bor Jnmln O. Locketr.
A private dispatch conveys the in

G. Lockett, at Atlanta, on yesterday
afternoon.
Colonel Lockett hod been in failing

recently his condition was such as to
alarm his friends.
He was a gentleman of handsome
and commanding appearance, of social
and amiable disposition, was possessed
of a fine judgment of men and business,
and waa noted as a public spirited citi
zen. He hsd been one of the largest
and most intelligent farmers of the
State, and numbered hie friends by the
score. He was in all respects a repre
sentative Georgian, and hia death in
the primo of life is a loss to the State.

During tha late war tha great Navalo

First Regiment New Mexico Volunteers,

Major JoaCummirga, who bad organized
one of th* Bret companies of tha regiment,
and aa brave a man aa ovsr lived, waa one
day ridlrg at the baad of the command
with old Kit, when the following inci
dent took place: KU waa drtstmfIn his

th* big hearted trapper and patriot turned

major answered: "Colonel, it is no time
now to go to tb* rear." They were th*
last words ever attend by th* orev* Cum

imoka enrled np beside a rook, th* brave
major fell mortally woundad, pierced be

TsaxYfiOn. I cLal.c, au educated artisan is of more ma-
thorough flagellation ever administer
ed by an irate husband of a pretty
wife, on the person of a gay Lothario.
The husband in the case is Mr. Price
Cross, one of the largest merchants of
Galveston, who is closely related to
one of the wealthiest and niOBt prom
inent familtes in Texas.
The victim is Linden M. Palmer, an
individual of dudish appearance, aged
about forty years, well known through
out tho country as a clever job printer.
Palmer is married, lias a grown
daughter, and until the developments
of last night it was never supposed bis
fancy for the fair sex would lead him
to such extremes
Palmer a few days ago, after star
ing the lady out of countenance sever
al times, grew so bold as to address
iter by letter, signing his initials, trans
posed to P. L. M.
The indignant lady resented the out
rage by instructing tho messenger to
tell his employer if ho had anything
to communicate to her to see her hus
band. On the return home of Mr.
Cross she informed him of the trans
actions, whereupon he took np the
trail, and by the aid of a well worded
>ersonal in tho daily News, on which
Calmer is engaged in the job room,
succeeded in getting an amorous epis
tle from Palmer.
According to instruction Mrs. Cross
answered the letter charging Palmer to
designate a place of nppointment on
an isolated place on the beach. At
tlie appointed tin,- Palmer waa on
hand, and meeting >he lady began a
conversation, which was almost imme
diately interrupted by tho husband,
who got the drop on him with a big
Colt’s revolver. Palmer threw up hia
hands, which were secured in front of
him. He was then thrown upon tho
sand, face downward. He was denud
ed of hia garments, and cowhide,! by
Mr. Crdss and a friend until the Ucsn
waa whipped into a jelly.
Palmer would, in all probability,
have been flogged to doath but for the
accidental discharge oi Croat’ pistol,
which attracted the attention of a sol
itary policeman, who arrested both
parties. Palmer claims that he waa
acting for another person. As neither
ot tho principles cared to prosecute
the affair legally, it was dropped out of
court.
