should take all the military power of
lire Government.to accomplish It. This
is certainly plain anil to the point.
The Government, for several year*
pa*t, ha* been dealing -with this ques
tion in sohaif-bearted and vaelllnfings
manner, as to leave doubts on the minds
of the raiders as to its earnestness in
the matter. Tt Is well that, once for
all, the Democratic authorities have
given all persons, at interest to under
stand that the Indians will be protect
ed In their rights.
It would be an everlasting shame and
reproach if there were no-, tribunal of
last resort before which this'vanishing
time could go, and secure protection
from theirawanuiug and rapacious en
emies. Without tire privileges of citi
zenship, guaranteed n« protection by
the constitution of the country In
which they live, looked upon as aliens
in the land of their birth, it is well
that there is a power that fa willing to
stand ifp for. their treaty rights and pro
tect them from dispossession at the
hands of hordes of howling land rob
bers. It is simple-handed justice.
Georgia; hut it is an open question
-whether the bonds could not have
been funded at even a lower figure
than S per cent.
It is gratifying to know that the
State properiy is of sufficient value to
meet the indebtedness of the State,
ami that the yearly increase in the
value of taxable property, as returned
to the Comptroller General, gives as
surance of an ability to meet ail the
requirements of current State expen
ses, from year to year, at a low rate
of taxation. It to proper to say, how
ever, in this connection, that the prop
erty of the State, subject to taxation,
is not returned at its full value; and
that the Legiststnre has been strange
ly derelict in not enacting a law to
compel the return of property at its
true value. Had this plain duty been
met by the Legislature, at its last ses
sion, the increase in property valua
tion and the consequent receipts of the
treasury would be so increased during
the present year as to obviate all neces
sity for temporary loans or an increased
rate of taxation, to meet threatened
deficiencies. Had this been done, it is
more tiian possible that' some of the
bdnds included in the scope of the
funding bill could have been paid off
when due, in.tend of—the next best
thing—being funded at a lower rate of
interest.
In the absence of an ability to meet
a bonded debt st its maturity, funding
at a lower rate of Interest is the best
device of financial wisdom. It is sim
ply renewing an old debt at a lower
rate of interest.
While the rate of interest, in thecase
under consideration, is low, this fact
fa more than offset by the view that

The people can best manage suel
matters apart from political chicane-
temerity to come dowu to Atlanta to
“play the Atlantas.” That was very
daring. They “played the Atlantis”
and “annihilated” them. That was
verging on the wonderful. It was a
matter that couldn’t bo understood.
That the Atlanta* should have been
beaten by a scratch, as it were, might
have been explained in a score of ways
so as to save the fag ends of Gate City
pride; but to have been tumbled
down and rolled over and to have had
their top locks smeared all,over with
the oil of annihilation put the matter
beyond the reach of palliation, excuse
or makeshift. It was frightful, but
that isn’t what astounded Atlanta.
The champions from the whiskey
belt, gathering up their trophies—such
as they were, passed or "down to'
Columbus, to add another scalp-lock
to their belt; and Atlanta wondered if
such terrible works had been wrought
“in the green tree” of the Gate City
bow fearful would be the destruction
wrought “In the ary tree” of Column

case.
But it wasn’t. Columbus—ss the
club of that city is rather-swellingly
styled, turned in and mopped up the
ground with the double-rectified anni-
hilalors of the Atlantis 1 No wonder
Atlanta was astounded. She can’t sec-
how it happeued. It looks like necro
mancy, or the black art, or something
else not a whit less wonderful. “The
Atlantas do not know what to make of
it, while their friends are-anamimous
in the belief that Columbus is not as
strong a team as the Atlantas.”
It fa a dreadful state of affairs; bat
the sun will probably continue to rise
and to set, and the seasons will come
and go, and the earth will bring forth
fruit In answer to the strokes of honest
toil. There are silver linings to most
clouds, if one only has the honest
patience to search them out and the
wisdom to anchor to them.

Mb. Gladstone has a hard time of

The “landaulet” business is to be
cat off under the new dispensation.
Democratic officials will travel at their
own expense. Mr. Cleveland set the
example in refusing the offer of a
number of railroads to give him a free
rile to Washington City. Secretary
Lamar has always refused to allow
himself to be placed under obligations
to corporations. The Government
will not be called npoa to funifab such
men with equipages, as has been the
case with the Washington authorities
since the Grant dispensation. There
will be no more junketing parties on

Subsidy Patriot* Hat Wanted.
There has been an earnest and a pro
longed effort on the part of the Miss
issippi delegation in Congress to secure
the appointment of ex-Congressmau
Money, of that State, to be Assistant
Postmaster General. So far the effort
ha* failed; and it is now generally be
lieved that he will fail to get the ap
pointment.
It would be difficult to think of any
thing more gratifying than this failure.
Tbat of Phil Thompson to secure the
office of Commissioner of Internal Rev
enue is nob more gratifying.
Money is reasonably believed to rep
resent the subsidy wing of the Dem
ocratic party. He fa known to have
Sifin warmly in favor of the Pacific-
Mail subsidy grab in the last Post-
otace appropriation bill. Any disap
pointment to him, then, in the matter
of official preferment can but be looked
upon as a triumph for the great reform
element in. the Democratic party and
tn the country at large.
It fa a small matter whence the ap
pointees come. It is a matter cf no
consequence, as we view it, whether
an official be from Maine or Texas.
The only consideration worthy of in
terest are that he be honest and capa
ble and a genuine upholder of reform
methods.
No man who favors subsidy legisla
tion fa fit to be trusted in office, at any
time; anti to place such a man In ahigh
station now, at the beginning of what
has been proclaimed to be a reform era,
woufd be both stupid and disgraceful.

New Light.
The Savannah A’ewa of Sunday tx-
ganthe publication of a aeries of hith
erto unpublished letters, from promi
nent parties in Georgia, South Caroli
na and North Carolina, written in the
Utter port of 1864 and the early pare of
1865. These letters show that, at that
time, while the soldiers ot those States
were absent at the front, doing all
Within their power to establish the in
dependence of the Southern Confeder
acy on an honorable basis, such men
as Governor Brown, of Georgia, Gov
ernor Magrath, of South Carolina, and
Governor Vance, of North Carolina,
were carrying on an active correspond
ence with each other, with a_ view to
inciting a revolution against the Con
federacy in their respective States.
These letters are important. They
show two things: First the wantot,
devotion of those three P ro, " : n( . Ilti r i 5£^e
officials tojhe ‘v n ^ erate "^ use . andi
,,-the real reason why that cause
wris a&uUtre.
It has long been believed by many
people that the officials in question,
with the active sympathy and support
of the Vice President of the Confeder
acy, were seeking its overthrow
under various pretexts; but few knew
that the matter had gone to such an ex
treme as the point of advocating the
call of a convention, with a view to
withdrawing the States In question
from the Confederacy. Gov. Vance’s
ouly trouble In the matter was the fear
tbat it would meet resistance at the
hands of the Confederate soldiers from
tbe States so conspiring. The idea
thatanything like allegiance was due
to the Southern Confederacy seems to
have been an utter stranger to hfa men
tal organism as well as to that of his
fellow-piotters.
In the light of the letters, now being
published, it fa not hard to account for
the failure of the great cause which
was represented by Jefferson Davis in
the executive office, Judah P. Benja
min in the cabinet and Robert E. Lee
in the field. With more than a mil
lion soldiers thundering away at the
depleted ranks of our brave soldiers in
the front, and those Governors with
their underling emissaries undermin
ing the defences of the Confederacy
from the rear, it fa no wonder that Lee
and Johnston and Kirby Smith and
their gallant commands went to the
wall/ 'The a-onder fa that the collapse
did not come sooner.
In the light of these letters, the bit
terest foes of Jefferson Davis in the
South—made so by the failure of the
Confederacy, will see cause to amend
their judgment of him because of the
failure.
Tbe Senate aud Barrios.
There seems to be blood on tbe Sen
atorial moon for Barrios, the would-be
dictator of Central America. The res
olution of Senator Edmunds “declar
ing it to be tbe sense of the Senate that
Barrios, President of Guatemala,
should be prevented from carrying out
his scheme of annexing the neighbor
ing Republics"Vns 'passed with only'
seven dissenting rotes. This was done
in the face of the criticism that the res
olution amounted, substantially, to a
declaration of war. It fa seldom that
that cautious old body, ever gets
wrought-up to the point of showing iu
teeth; and the fact that even Edmunds
has been warmed np to the point of
leading off in .the matter amounts to a
real phenomenon. .
The declaration of the Senate fa well
enough, but it doesn’t go to the ex
treme of a declaration of war, as the
seven timid ones supposed. The Sen
ate can’t declare war. it would be a
mere empty blast, without the concur
rence of tite House. But we rejoice
tbat the old fellows shot off their
voices. - _
As a matter of course Mr. Cleveland
will have to execute the civil service
reform law. It fa on the statute books,
and he has taken an oath to execute
the laws. Bnt this, does not alter the
fact that those Federal officiate who
have filled their positioni in a partisan
way will have to go. It would be a
violation of the spirit of the civil ser
vice reform law not to dismiss them.

and found it hard to work the drill.

coal have been brought to the surface
in the backet, hat visitors have taken
the pieces away. During the entire
day on Monday, Mr. Mulligan and the
men employed working the drill, could
smell gas slightly, which seemed to
emanate from tbe well. It fa thought
that a small vein of gas may have been
struck, and liberated by the drill and
while escaping the ,roen about the
place smelled it. Yesterday prepara
tions were madeandthe work of rescu
ing the drill begun. It was tedious
job, but was crowned with success late
in the evening. Work will again go

There is anew* Item on the rounds,
to the effect that “President Cleveland
pay* for his own newspapers.” In
other words, he has ordered a discon
tinuance of the newspapers that have,

paid for out of the public treasury by
hfa predecessors of late years. He
doesn’t intend to read papers at the

That fa right There has been some
thing out of joint in the pay depart
ment of newspapers in this country for
a number of years, and perhaps there
will now be-an improvement. The

one of two things: Either that Russia

Extensive preparations are still be
ing made in England, in view of the
possibility of war over oa the boundary
of Afghanistan. There will be no war
if the present Quaker Ministry of Eng
land can avoid it by concessions.. And
yet public opinion in England is so
averse to the spirit of conciliation to
wards Russia, that eveu Mr. Gladstone
may be forced to tike a firm stand
against the Mi ecovite foe. The situa
tion it critical; for the English and
Russian outpost3 have passed each
other—the former to the north and the
latter to the south. .
