Tlie meeting was presided over by Mr. I*. J. Morgan. Speeches were made by Col. .1, F. Burke, Mayor Ilillyer. Dr. .1. G. Armstrong, and RoV^II. H. t^uigg. Letters of sym pathy were read from Gov. McDaniel, Hon. A. Bacon and I’at Walsh. The Atlanta Constitution gives this, account of the address of l>r. James G. Armstrong: Tlie acfdieiicc was on its feet! Cheers and clapping of hands, with the ladies waving their handkerchiefs, made a scene such as is hut seldom witnessed. Dr. Armstrong -stepped to the front and held up his hand, hut it only re doubled tin* enthusiasm. He essayed to speak, but three .times his voice was drowned in the ever increasing,leave of applause.

Many people, he said, did uot study the Irish question be cause they looked upon it as a religions struggle. , Yet,it WinT only a religious struggle in so far as it.suited the pur poses of the English Government to divide tlie people and make them weak.

It is a grand sight,” said the Doctor, extending his arms, and illustrating; “to see Parnell, with one hand upon Gladstone’s throat and the other on that of Salisbury. Either can only, speak as Parnell relaxes his grasp lor that purpose, and tlie Irish leader keeps just as vigilant a watch upon the grand.old man, as lie does upon the torv chief.” “But behind this home rule move ment,” said Dr. Armstrong, coming to another phase of his argument, “there is another, and one even tifore Impor tant.

Editor Atlanta Journal': Knowing, as w o do, how prone the people of the .world are to magnify tlie faults and failingsof a minister of the gospel, the unumiftity with whlcft the recent harsh sentence pronounced on Dr. Armstrong has been condemned is surprising. It is too ofteu tin* case that the press seize on any scandal af fecting the reputation of a preacher, spreading it before the public iu all its details in the darkest colors. Iu the case of Dr. Armstrong there has been a remarkable absence of tills; and some of the most influential pa pers denounce the seutence on hint us unjust, unsustained by the evidence, ami excessively severe, even if all the charges were established by the evi dence. This verdict has .been ex pressed in the most unequivocal an: even iudignant terms by some of tiie most prominent members of tiie church of the accused—meinliers of intelligence fullv competent to decide the facts and the evi- expression to their feelings by a public declaration, or by severing their con nection with the church, as some have done. * It may Ik* considered rather im|H*rti- nent for an. outsider to criticise the form of government of “Mpther Church,” hut the writer tnay he ex cised for expressing his firm convic tion that all the trouble with regard to Dr % Armstrong’s sentence cotnes from a* radical defect in the govern ment of the Episcopal church—too muck power vested in one man. Nut that this one man is wanting fu intel- -ligenee', in a disposition to do right by the accused, and at tlie same rime to promote the best interests of the church, but simply because lie is one inan, a fallible luiiiian being, having too much power to be exercised by any single individual. True, “a mul titude of counsellors” may err, but it will hardly Iks denied that they are less likely to do so thau a single |>er- son, who may unconsciously be Jed into error by false reasoning, or preju dice. Of one thiug the writer feels as sured: No church with a congrega tional form of government would have passed such a sentence, 'under the clr- cuinstauces. “Tlie judge advocate was manifestly disqualified and incapable of properly discliargiugliis duties of judge advo cate, because of tlie ititerestAvhich he took in tlie conviction of the accused. For this reason he should have re quested :elief from a duty wnich he ; could not perform in justice to him self, the accused and the service. * Grovkh Cleveland. 1 answer your correspondent that even if the Bislto[t were “jealous anti vindictive,” as he says, and I do not, it would, uqt prove.-Dr. Armstrong iu- uoceiit ot tlie charges brought against him in Cincinnati. Dr. Armstrong’s innocence jpf the charges brought agaiiist him was and is established by direct, conclusive and unimpeach able evidence by parties who had per sonal knowledge of tlie facts to which they te-tified. “One of the faith,” who writes to you, Mr. Editor, says: “The friends mV Dr. Armstrong should prove his iuuoceiua: V” This assertion would seem to Cmlicate that your cor- a^ivil war. JOHNSON’S ADMINISTRATION. At tlie end of that struggle tiie domi nant party iu Cougress at a time when piission ami prejudice were at tlie highest, found iu tlie chair a President (Andrew Johuson) elected by them as Vace-PresMeut, who had been a Democrat all his life, and had been put upon the Republican ticket be- causeof having been a consistent Union man. Tlie feeling of antagonism be tween President Joiinsoti and the Re publican majority of tlie Senate became iuieiirified, and they determined, iu order better to serve their part}' pur- |R>-es, to hedge him in, so that he should uot exercise powers that for three-quarters of a century had been exercised by the President. Congress then, in 1867, -passed the tenure of office law.’ 31 r. Browu recited at length sections' ot' tlie law, showing hat it required the President to giv'e the Senate, among other things, evi- denbe—and reasons—for suspending officer? during the recess of tiie Senate. thk modification. He stated tiiat, when passion had in some measure, subsided, that tlie section was modified iu 1S69 under the admin istration of President Grant so as among other tilings to dispense with the statement of reasons. If the law of 1867* lie said, were the law to-day, and were In accordance with the con stitution there was no doubt that the Senate could require the President to give to the Senate evidence and rea sons for his removal ot anjofficer. But the mollification of the law made in 1829 did not require the President to state the. evidence or reasons, and so faras removals was concerned It put the law hack to where It stood before the act of 1867 was passed, and where the constitution had placed the matter. WII AT IT ALLOWED. it empowered the President, iu Ills discretion, without produciug any evi dence or giving any reason, or send ing the Hciialc any papers, to suspend any civil officer appointed by and with the advice aud consent of tlie Senate, except J udges of the courts, until the end of the next session of the Senate. Mr. Brown then took up a number of castes cited in the report of a majority of the committee, and, after analyzing them, asserted that the points involved were not similar to the point here iu question, and the cases, therefore, af forded uo support for the arguineut to he based on them. NO JURISDICTION. He continued: “The Senate has no as' to the law. deuce, and there is good reason to be lieve that a large majority of life church entertain the Mime vfcw», though tlu X j juriadictfm of the question of snspeu- l.ave not .leen.eU Jun.Wimble*«*■ (tWe or r^oyai 0 f officers.” In at- respondent was that member of tlie said to the reporter after the sermon: 'landing committee who was unable to distinguish the difference between n» ex parte statement and testimony. You would naturally, expect oue so little versed in law to use that prose cution prove guilt. But “the frieuds ot I>r. Armstrong’* have proved his innocence. He was charged with be- iug “intoxicated and'druiik” on*cer- tain dates iu Cincinnati. Niue witnesses who liau daily and frequeut axcess to him swore that hejwas not intoxicated. One thought he was under tlie _in- fitierce of lRp nor, but not drank; find one who met him for uot to exceed two uiiuutes thought he looked like a man recovering from a debauch. SAM JONES AGAIN. lie Attack* Quibbling Christians. Chicago News. In his. sermon Mr. Jones spoke of those C-liristiaus wlio are outside of the church and of those people who lay claim to goodness without belonging to the church. He said: “Some people say iny father never belonged to church. I have a contempt for a man whose wife keeps bragging about' him. I nerer heard a sylabub talking that way hut what I thought: ‘Old girl, your husband Is uothiug btft a whitewashed old thief, an.l you have to keep putting it on.’ All the' good people I ever knew were members of a church.

It had no more right to demand of the President the evi dence on which he acted or the rea sons for his actiou than it had to de mand of the Supreme Court the reas ons for its decisions, or to demand,of tiie House of House of Representatives its reasons for passing a particular bill. It had no more power over tiie subject than bail the Presideut to ask the Sen ate for its reasous lor rejecting a nom ination. “The people of this country consti tute a high court of appeals aim it is the judgment of tiiat high court, not that it the President lias used the |H>wer of removal, but tiiat he has failed to use it with sufficient energy.

When the people of the United States called the President to the high and responsible position he now fills., and placed iii his hands, as a great trust, the Executive power of this government, they expected in carry ing out this policy, that he would put in office, as hi$> assistants, persons of ability and integrity, who concur in his policy and are ready to render important and faithful service in carrying it into' execution.

Now _ 0 iu to fall-heavy drops of crystal water ou my tent, increasing every in- till it seemed to descend in one sheet. Then the wind roared ugh the trees and 1 was starred almost into unconsciousness by a hi thud on the ground near me. In my long life l never experienced any thing so awful as the storm that night in tlie 'Transvaal. After about an hour of this terrible din of the * ele ments, there was a sudden cense to all just as suddenly as it began. The red sun appeared near the horizou, the cloiftls all passed away, leaving the at mosphere deliciously cool and refresh ing. and when tlie sun dropped behind the mountain it was succeeded by a silvery moon that looked like a glit tering crescent In the beautiful bine sky The shock of the system was succeeded by a quiet repose that was indescribable—something far beyond the tlolce far niente of Spain or Italy. When I awoke the next morning to the cal) of the Kaffir muleteer, I felt a sense of great refreshment and exhil aration that was something 'abnormal. We were aroused from our slumbers another night by a commotion among our guides. One of them, a Kaffir, rushed into my tent aud shouted, “The inganumi,” the Hons. It seemed tha tliey were attracted by the light of our fires from tlie caves n the rocks adjacent, and roared as only Hons can roar wheu they saw our moles anil oxen. But the big fires the Kaffirs kept burning and the firiug of their rifles over-awed them, aud tliey slunk away, growling as they went. While on the journey through tlie Transvaal we always started soou after sunrise, and traveled for two or three houra, then pitched our tents and fed our animals till 3 or 4 o’clock in the ofteruoon. We then traveled till an hour before suudown, when we again camped, picketed the oxen aud the donkeys and got tlie boys to pile up wood for the night. The sun was al ways ready to “drop” when we bad tills task done. The “drop” is expres sive enough when you imagine a red hot globe of iron dropped iuto a sea of ink. Unless wheu the moon is iu her first quarter the sudden darkness that overspreads the earth Is remarkable. But the fires of the Kaffirs are already ablaze, and* we look into each other’s faces smilingly, ami defyiug the pal pable darkness that revels arpund our outer circle. •’ Tbe Gubernatorial Bace. Athens Banner-Watchman. The withdrawal of McDaniel leaves an easy victory to Major Bacon, and we lielieve that be will be nominated for Governor of Georgia on the first ballot, Und by a two-thirds vote nt that. Unless Athens has a candidate of her own—and we don’t suppose she will— this entire section, embracing forty couutics, will send almost an unbroken Bacon delegation to Atlanta. It Is rather singular tiiat the men and coun ties most bitterly opposed to Major Bacon in the past are now his warmest advocates. Bacon is tlie only man we ever knew who can build up fresh strength from every defeat. Bat he has certainly done so. Thte graceful and patriotic mauner in which he has accepted defeat strengthened his friends and won the respect and ad miration of Ills opponents. At the last gubernatorial convention, Clarke county sent a strong anti-Bacon dele gation to Atlanta. Although they con spired to his overthrow, 31ajor Bacon’s chivalrous aud courteous bearing made warm personal friends of every mem ber of that body before their return home; and amid their rejoicing over the victory they had helped to achieve, tlie thoughts of tbe defeat of such a polished, genial and patriotic gentle man as A. O. Bacon detracted much from their enthusiasm. Georgia has not a purer statesman within her bor ders than Gus Bacon. He has been often tried in the crucible, and always fouud to be unblemished. Wheu tbe -curse of Republican rule iuflicted our State. Major Bacorl stood like a pillar of flame between this thieving crew and bis people. If there is aud man in Georgia tiiat especially deserves re cognition at the hands of the Dofiioc- racy it Is A. O. Bacon. Aside from his claims upon his party. Major Bacon is peculiarly and eminently fitted to guide the helm of state. Possessed of fine executive abilities, a cool, deter mined head, polished and pleosaDt manners, and an unswerving integrity and devotion to right and principle, he will reflect'credit upon old Georgia, and upon his retirement leave behind a record that will tally with that of the distinguished statesman who now fills tbe executive chair—and to say’ that a man wiU make as safe and ac ceptable a Governor as Henry D. Mc Daniel is the highest praise that can be accorded. We consider the nomi nation and election of Bacon an as sumed fact. The people feel that be is Hovr TJi.’fc Conzreanmen Were Victimized by a Pretty Woman. Washington Cor. New Tort Ilerald. A howling yam Is current here to-1 night reg:irdiug three members of the j Brooklyn delegation. As one of the gentlemen was dressing for breakfast this morning the porter knocked on his door, aud entering, handed him a large eugraved card. It bore tlie legend, “3Iiss Clariette 3IohteatIi.” “There’s some mistake.” said tlie Brookli'n man. “No, sir; she said she was from Brooklyn and wanted to see you.’’ “Very well; ask her to wait in the parlor.” A few minutes later tlie member had descended and made one of hi: neatest Coney Island salutations. “I am from Brooklyn,” she began as she rose and advanced to meet the Congressman. He couldn’t help ob serving that she was ravishingly bcau- fifMk ‘jthHlg woman took ld> half extended hand and dun, tightly anooQfiisuied: . j.. “You behold a stranded actress. i■9MP i My-company went tosmaMi In Chica go last week, ancTT have'’only been able to get thus far. I thought I should find friends here, bat I am mistaken. Now, my dear sir, I am going to ‘stand y*m up,’ right here.” “What?” “Strike you for a loan. I want $10 to gep to New York, and I go on the 2 o’clock train.” couldn’t hkio* it. There was k grace as well as a direct ness about the demand that was irre sistible; but the member held the money in the fingera of bis left hand a moment, aud, as a result of Ills de liberations, said: “I will give you thD money if you will send up your card to my colleague (naming one of the Brooklyn delegation) and tell him l have given you $20. You’il have more money, and besides, I want you to meet him, so that if I should he out of the city when you reach Washington again you wiU know who to apply to.” “It’s a go,” she said. The member put a bill m her hand and hastily de parted. There was not even a look of surprise ou tlie young damsel’s face as she stowed the greenback in her caba, muttering, “By Jove, it was only a five he gave me.” HK PLAYS T11K LIMIT. Meanwhile the other member from the City of Churches had been lpiuled up and confronted with the lady. She told tlie story with real pathos, added an invalid mother wlio traveled as her chaperon, and threw in a young sister to swell the needed expenses. The Congressman was very much affected, and wheu lie learned that a colleague had given $20 he went to tbe hotel clerk’s desk aud returned promptly with the money. He expressed sin cere regret that she was leaving the city so soon, and intimated that it Would be one of the delights of his tired existence to show her over the capitol. She thanked him, but was compelled, she said, to decline. SURPRISES FOR SEVERAL. Tlie scene changes to Solari’s an hour later. The two Brooklyn mem bers have breakfasted, and, with tlieir cigars aglow, have started to walk to the capitol. Having met a third Brook lyn member, they have stopped to take something. The first Congress man couldn’t keep from telling the joke he liad “put up” on his friend. He told it effectively, and his colleague was thoroughly miserable until the third Congressman interrupted to ask, “What was the lady’s name?” “Miss Clairette Monteatb,” answer ed the first member. The devilV r ’was the * Involuntary exclamation of the last of the trio. “I met her on the. train coming over yes terday. She said she was your sister, ltad your name as ‘pat* as you please, and borrowed $10 until she could see you. Why, d— it, I gave her your address.” GUESS THE CONUNDRUM. Three bewildered Congressmen stepped back from the bar. Three pairs of eyes gazed into each other deeply and searchingly. Three stale smiles died from three strangely com plicated countenances. Nobody said anything, and they have all been si- Ieiit since that hour. The committee of three is deliberating earnestly as to who ought to buy the wine.. It is a complicated situation. Who? That’s the question. 11 our Georgian* are Burdened ky Protection. The difference between a tariff for revenue and a tariff for protection has been |>olnted out so‘often that all who take any interest in the tariff question are familiar with It. The tariff ou sugar aud rice, for instauce, is a reve nue tariff, although it affords our sugar and rice planters a certain amount ot protection. A fourth of the customs revenue comes front these tiro articles. The home production of them supplies but a small fraction of the demaud, and it would be impossi ble, doubtless, to stimulate the produc tion sufficiently to supply tlie demand. About all tbe revenue from them goes Into the Treasury. On tlie other hand the tariff on steel rails is a tariff for protection. It is $16 50 per ton, and is prohibitory. 31 r. A. B. Lindertnan, who was a passen ger on the ill-fated Oregon, and who visited England in Uie interest of tbe Savannah, Dubliu and Macon railroad, stated, in au interview publishedin tlie Philadelphia Record on Friday, that he was Offered steel rails in England for $20 per ton, but that lie decided . .

What is it but the worst kind of a mistake to pay hundreds of dollars for good farm machinery and allow it, want of propper shelter, to, rot aud ome useless a year or so sooner than it should? 1. It is a mistake to let year after year pass by with no attempt to im prove the quality of the farm stock. Blooded cattle pays. They make beef uicker, and tiie *ows gives more and icher mUk. Better blood in horses pays. A Norman or part Norman colt is a valuable piece of property. 5.

Advice le nether*. Mrs. Winslow’s Soothdig Syrup always be used for children kept so late, teething. It s*x»thes the child, softens “ ” wind to purchase there on account ol‘the tariff on them. He said tiiat he could get steel rails from the manufacturers 1n this country at $35 per ton, aud it was, therefore, a little cheaper for him to purchase American rails. The steel rail makers of this country combine to keep up the price. It can hardly be possible that it costs $15 to$16aton more to manufacture steel rails in this country that it does in England. Not a dollar of this .heavy duty on steel rails goes into tne Treasury. It comes out of the pockets of the people and goes into the poekets of the steel rail manufacturers. Tlie tariff is ar ranged so that it Is just a little cheaper t> buy steel, rails at borne than to buy them abroad. . ... A moment’s consideration showt how this prohibitory tariff on steel rails imposes burdens upon the people of Georgia. If Mr. Liuderman could get rails at tbe same price at which he can get them in England he could build the proposed road between this city and 3Iacon for $1^500 per mile len thank will cost him. Those who travel on tlie proposed road or ship their cotton, lumber, etc., over it will have to pay larger rates on account of the extra cost of the road caused by the tariff. There ar; a great many other tilings besides steel rails needed in the construction of the road, the cost of which is increased by tlie tariff. ^•CAPITAL PRIZE, $75,000* Tickets only 15.
