S. S. Prcutikw, the Southern Orator.
Prentiss served but one term
Congress, but his voice was heard in
‘ ftlf of the Whigs in every campaign
behal _
until his death hi 1S49, at the age of
41. He was the principal speaker at
the great Whig meeting at Nashville
.In lt&4 when Ids idol, Henry Clay was
a candidate for President. His speech
upon that occasion was doubtless bis
master-piece on the stump. When he
closed he fell back in a swoon in the
arms of .lames C. Jones, himself a mag
nificent orator, who hugged him to his
bosom and exclaiued in an ecstasy of
enthusiasm, “Die, Prentiss, die; you
will never have such another glorious
opportunity*.”' It was at the close of
his great speech in Fuiieuil Hall in 184-1
that Edward Everett asked Daniel
Webster if he had ever heard such a
speech before, amt Lite answer was,
“Never, except by Prentiss himself.”
Prentiss was the very personification
of courage, moral and physical. He
had a horror of the code, but had no
hesitancy In appealing to it, as he
fouud it an established institution in
the land of his adoption. His spirits
were so mercurial, his heart so tender,
his sentiments so refined, that if he
had slain his adversary in such a ren
counter his reason, powerful as it
was, would have been dethroned. But
as society then was in .Mississippi he
was compelled to appeal his personal
quarrels to that tribunal. The only
man he ever met, though message*
passed between himself and several
otliers, was Henry S. Finite, of whom
1 hope to write in the future. The
cause of the duel has been variously
dated. I will give one. Prentiss was
a mau of infinite jest. Even when lie
argued grave legal questions before a
court he iuters|>ered his speeches with
witticisms. It bubbled up in all Ids
utterances, and made him one of the
most engaging ot men. On one occas-
-siou ho-was sitting up with a party ol
friends on attendance upon a gentle
man who was hors de combat with a

Special to Atlanta Constitution.
MiLi.KiHiKviLLE, G*., March 14.—
Yesterday about fifteen hundred
negroes, men and women, attended an
anti-prohibition barbecue on the
river near Treaiior's mill, having come
here Irom all over the country.
ALL IN PROCESSION.
A bout midday a procession of about
a thousand, headed by music, formed
and inarched through the city and
back to the river. While the crowd
was orderly, with the exception of
now' and then some one exclaiming
such words as these, “white folks
down, nigger on top,” the whole affair
was ill-advised and gave much offense
to the citizens.
KREUTZ'S OFFENSE.
No interference was made to the
procession. But one white man was
seen is» the profesMo®, -Huff he t&s H.
K. Kreritz. a barkeeper here, who rode
horseback up amldowu the procession.
It is said that he, at times, used some
violent language about prohibitionists.
Last night, iu a is bar, was a crowd of
nygroes, and one or two white men.
Kreutz -qsoke tnaoy bitter words to the
i.egroos aud among other things was
hear*I to tell the negroes that if any
white ladies here Ind anythiug to say
about prohibition or blue badges to
make insulting proposals to them. A
white man present took up the matter,
ami a tigilt took place betweeu them.
GIVEN NOTICE TO LEAVE.
This morning the affair became pub
lic, and Kreulz was waited on by a
itizens committee, who told him ttiat
iie must leave the place, lie tried to
explain the matter** by saying that he
was drunk all day yesterday aud List
' * * ha *
light, and* dlil uot kuow what he hud
said, but the firm answer was that he
must leave by "> o’clock this aftcr-
i o >n.
A BEE LINK our OF TOWN.
He said lie would go. In about two
hours he left in a buggy, golug toward
Toombsboro. There was a strong dis
position to lay hands on him, on the
part of many, but wiser counsels pre
vailed, ard lie was allowed to go, with
the caution to not return. •
THE ACTION' INDORSED.
At a citizens meeting to-night, coin-
I>omk| of both prohibitionists and antis,
the following resolutions were unani
mously adopted:
The*citizens of Millcdgcville assem
bled on call, do resolve:
First—We strongly 'condemu the
lawless assemblage of negroes in MiI-
ledgeville onyester : ay. their disorder
ly insolent and indecent behavior, and
(he.maHguity shown by ni.iny of them
towards the white people.
Second—We more earnestly de
nounce the conduct of any whites who,
for purpose of election or otlierw ise,
have, by word or act, contributed or
may contribute to the fiendish senti
ment of hatred by these ignorant peo-
>le toward his race, as treacherous and
oath sonic beyond contempt.
Third—Whereas, H. E. Kreutz is
manifestly guilty of aiding and abet
ting these disorders by riding in lire
with them, furnishing them liquor,
leading and cheering them through
our streets, and counselling them to
insolence toward our people, aud es
pecially towards the ladies and
Whereas, certain citizens have thi
morning warned said Kreutz to leave
this county at once and finally, which
warning he has hastily acted upon, we
most cordially approve the action of
these gentlemen and adopt it as our
own.
Fourth—We gladly commend the
good couduct of the many of our good
colored fellow-citizens whose conduct
in this, as in all instances, is true and
law abiding.

came friends a short time afterward
and so continued until death severed
the tie. Prentiss was lame of one leg
and walked with the ahl of a cane. He
had a magnificent bust and a royal
bead, the space above the eyes beiug a
three-decker. He had an eagle eye
that burned like thp opb of day and
flashed like lightning when be was
*r«i«d. His .voice was underJqg-jJ

be willed. Nature had dime much for
him. but he required a great* occasion
to bring out in bold relief all his pow
ers. At such times he never failed.

Abraham Lincoln has to bear the res

however, related by a prominent citi

Liucoluiaii personality:

in the Republican party. ‘Sumner,

life out of me about abolishing slavery

tint why should it not be the rule
under an administration which is sup
posed to be governed by the doctrines
of Jeffeison? It has generally been
supi>osed that Washington was the
originator of the system of holding
Presidential levees, aud the great Vlt-
giniau has been credited with aristo
cratic ideas on t his uccouut. As a mat
ter of fact, Washington, was opposed
to thcVcreiuouial, and he.d out against
it for a long time. Filially lie agreed to
receive visitors, aud Colonel Hum
phries arranged the ceremonies. There
was so mueli pomp about it (and yet
not more than there is at the White
House to-day) that Washington was
much disconcerted, and swore roundly
at Humphries - this beiug one of the
lew occasions nn which lie indulged iu
profanity. It was President Adams
who inaugurated the full reception
business, and accompanied it with a
sumptuous entertainment. The ro
tund aud pious New Englauder loved
to surround himself with pomp and
ceremony, aud ids levees werefrequept
and stately. Mrs. Adams fiWas iin-
mied with semi-regal ideas, and was
very loud of her “court' receptions'*
and* of the prominence they gave her.
A change came iu under Thomas Jef
ferson. As President he swept away
all vesrigbs and counterfeits of royalty
and discontinued the levees. He haiT

the fourth ot July and the first of Jan

people at all times, and opeued the
doors of the Presidential mansion to

—seems to be needed just now at Wash

E.G Mathews, of Baltimore, writes
to the New York Tribune as follows:
“In 1861 a transportation compauy re
ceived here two bales of cotton for
which there was no claimant, and
which no one has ever appeared to
claim. In 1864, when the market ad
vanced to a fabulous price, I offered the
agent for oue bale of good middlings
$1,000; anil for one bale of stained
middlings $998. He declined to sell
unless 1 paid him $2,000 for the two
bales, aud go for the sum of $2 the
trade was off. About two months ago,
knowing that he still held-them, 1
asked him if he did not think it was
time to sell. He said, *Yes.* and I sold
the hales at 8*^ cents per pound—real
izing abyut $82 for the same two iden
tical bales.”
Chicago Mail: ■ “It Is whispered in
the corridors of the Interior Depart
ment that Mr. ^amar intends this
spring to have his hair cut short. “He
has always wore long hair,** said an
ex-Confederate officer. “1 remember
seeing him when a colonel, riding into
battle with those long black locks
lying back ou his stout shoulders. It
has always been a mystery to ine why
he did not have himself shorn occa
sionally. Once he did, though not in
tentionally. In 1876, when be was In
St. Louis, he went into a barber’s shop,
flung himself down in a chair and told
the Senegambian attendant to trim his
hair aud beard. The Secretary fell
Into one of his characteristic fits of ab
straction and the shears kept at their
work until Mr. Lamar looked like an
other man. He was fearfully mad
about it when he got oat and discov
ered what had beeu done. .He did not
know anything abont it in the barber
shop, but met an old friend on the
street who told him of the
his appearance.”

Letters have been received by Judge
Simmous aud his friends stating these
facts, and naming deputies who are
working even out of their districts in
opposition to Judge .Simmons. The
Simmons men say they have no ob-
jection'to tiie positiou Collector Cren

for him to use his office aud influence
Hie men at work under him to pro
mote tiie ambition of any Democrat as
agaiust another Democrat, ami that
they intend to see if tiie department at
Washington does not agree with them.
Oue of the points made is that Collec
tor Crenshaw himself has been going
about ti»e State with Mr. Bacon. •
WUAT COLLECTOR CRENSHAW SAYS.
I^ist night a representative of the
Constitution called ou Collector Cren
shaw at his home to obtain his state-*
uieiit iu regard to the above. Mr.
Cren-liaw had retired. Wheu be met
the reporter it was with a puzzled
countenance. When told of the
charges that had been made against
him, he said that he could not realize
it, ami could not believe that Judge
Siuimous would do such a thing or al
low any of his officials to do so. He
•(aid that the news came to him like a
flash of lightning Irom a clear sky.
That he had never had any intention
directly or indirectly in regard to it.
When asked by the reporter if he was
opposed to Judge Simmons for Gover
nor Mr. Crenshaw said Chat lie had no
personal animosity toward Judge
Soiiimm-!, lit it he regarded him as a
pure and upright gentleman, and re
cognize I his worth as u leader,'but
that between

on account of Major Bacon beiug his
personal friend he preferred Major
Bacon. “This,” said, Mr. Crenshaw.
“1 say, not to parade my preference,
but because 1 think it a right of any
man to express his opinions.”
“Have you ever requested any of
your deputies to oppose Judge Sim
mons for Governor?” asked the re
porter.
“You may say,” replied Mr. Creu
sliaw, “that I have never requested
any of them to oppose Mr. Simmons,
and I have never spoken of tiie guber
natorial contest with one of them, un-
ess It was brought up iu general con
versation. I may farther add that I
have heard that more than one of my
deputies will support Judge Simmous.
1 have more than87 men uuder me and
I have never heard more than a dozen
express their opinion In regard to the
campaign.”
“It is claimed, Mr. Crenshaw, that
your deputies have been working
against Judge Simmons and iu Major
Bacon's favor even out of their dis
tricts.”
“Most certainly that Is not tiue,
said Mr. Crenshaw. “All the time of
my collectors belongs to the govern
ment, and
I REQUIRE THEM
to « T evo:e their time, talent and ener
gies as deputy collectors. And no
iuattcr what uiy feelings or inclina-
.ious might l>e, 1 could not. uor would
uot allow them to use the time due the
government to canvass for anyone,
have removed some because they failed
to devote their entire time f ‘o their
rfficial duties. As for iheir going ont
ol' their districts, that is only done
when they have leave of absence, aud
the rule that uo collector go out of his
district without he has leave of ab
sence from me, is strictly adhered to.
“Well they say, too, Mr. Crenshaw,
that you have beeu traveling over tiiv
statc with Major Bacon. What about
that?”
“That as well as the rest i» absolute
ly false, even without an iota «.f sub
stance upon which to form a basis. 1
was sworn into office the first of May,
1885. I have worked early and late,
long and hard, and there has never
been an officer who has been at his post
of duty more constantly, or who has
worked more steadfastly than 1. For
evidence of this fact I
REFER TO MY RECORD
since 1 have held the office. You may
look to the numerous letter and docu
ments of official nature that are dailj
flowing to the commissioner of inter
nal revenue, bearing each and every
one my own peculiar signature. No
letter or documents can be found there
from this office since I have been col
lector that I have notcarefully scanned
aud signed myself. All of tbe special
tax stamps are signed, not by my depu
ties, butby myself. But to the point. 1
have never traveled with 3Iajoi-Bacon.
Since I took my oatli of office I have
been out of the city but three times,
and then only for a day at eaeh time.
On last November I was absent for
two days at Troup superior court; in
January 1 went to Columbus on offi
cial business, and last Monday, the
22d of March 1 attended courtin Heard
couuty. 1 had a case at chambers be
fore Judge Harris, which was tried
and decided on Tuesday, It is true
that Major Bacon came there on Tues
day night, but I left on Wednesday
morning at six o’clock. While I was
in Franklin I expressed a preference
as to who I should support for govern
or; for 1 do not think my holding a
public office precludes me from express
ing my honest opinion. All in all 1
think,” continued Mr.Creusbaw, “that
this is the last straw t which a drown
ing man clings. will say that mr
deputies, as my boooks will show, have
done good work, aud uppn mv record
as collector, and upon tneirs as depu
ties, I am willing to stand or fall/'
WHEN’ THK COMMITTEE WILL BE CALLED.
Ex-Senator Polhill, chairman of tbe
state democratic committee, has been
in the city during tlie week in atten
dance on the supreme court. He stat
ed that he thought there was no need
of hurry in calling the committee to
gether; that he would consult the
members of tbe committee and :
tain what time was most convenient
for them to meet. His own o
ment was that some time in the 1 itter
part of April or tbe earlj- part of Mav
would be soon enough. His anxiety
is to do what is best for tbe party and
the State. It is propable that thecon:-
mittee will not be called together until
May.
THE ATTITUDE OE GENERAL GORDON.
No one ia authorized to spea
General Gordon in the matter of tiie
tl race. He has not him-
what he will do. He has
Ixad the most urgent appeals to allow
ruing from all
of the state, and from persons
every shade of Democratic
lese matters he has laid be-
of his triends and bolds in
one life pan:
youthful expectations there are dozens
which fall. below it. It is fortunate
for the race that though hope often
withers aud crumbles to ashes, it
springs lip anew in a livelier ami more
inspiring form. Like the bright flow
ers of summer it withers beneath the
chilling breeze of misfortune and ad
versity, yet like them it springs forth
in fairer loveliness under the new aus
pices of more propitious seasons. The
bouyan6y and elasticity of the human
spirit is indeed wonderful^ and its ca-
-i—to endure the * —
his late quarrel with tiie President,
has grjevoqdy neglected hi* own repu^
tatiou. He reminds oue of tiie South
Carolina plantation darkey who put his
new hat under his coat when it rained.
Being asked to explain his conduct, he

tteatyof ISSOisab
and 'om passion cT its Creator.
“One by one the roses fall.” Yet
there is comfort in the thought that
they shall bloom again. One by one
are dissipated into airy notliinguess
the hopes and inspirations of youth,
yet all men are not easily abashed, and
they take fresh courage and press on
ward it may be to a more bitter and
crushing disappointment. The child
thinks, “I shall be rich and honored
or great and good, when I become a
man or a woman,” but alas! things
are not always what they seem, and
the future docs not always pay what
it promises. Yet after all the dreams
of chimhood are delightful, and its air
castles often look brighter than the
starry expanse, and though they fade
and tall as the years roll ou, it Is pleas
ant to remember that our minds were
once peopled by such fascinating vis
ions, and our senses entranced by
spells so charming. The individual
who has never been cheered by even
imaginary blessings must have had a
very commonplace and unsatisfactory
experience. The mind that has never
beeu enriched aud illuminated by tbe
flights of fancy has had blit a painfully
practical tenure of life. Lore is saill
to be a painful thrill, aud yet those
who have not loved have lived in vain.
The maiden who has'uot had the hori
zon of her hopes -spanned by an arch
of ideal bliss lias merely existed, with
out extricating the sweets from the
actual, or reveling in the ecstaeies, of
the Imaginary. And the youth with
out ambition can hardly hope to enjoy
to any great extent even the practical
or theoretical. While it is not desira
ble to be ever building and inhabiting
air castles, yet the brief period allotted
to this visionary and chimerical sort of
existence is notalwaysiu vain. Those
persons who expect to make* their
mark upon tiie generation iu which
the live must have a model and object,
and troni fine spun theories are often
deduced solid and substantial facts.
The artist must have an ideal in nis
mind ere lie is able to produce the ob
ject of Ilfs genius, and th»* poet siugs
best when under the influence of the
“divine affiants.” The mind of Frauk-
lin was tuned to high teusion when he
chained the lightning, and Newton was
very imaginative when he discovered
the law of gravitation. It is easier to
have great thoughts than to do great
things, but the great thoughts are gen
erally precursers of great acts. So if
air castles serve as a stimulus to ex-
ertipn they are not in vain.
THE PRESIDENTS MAIL.
Some off tbe Queer Letter* Receiv
ed at tbe White Uou*e.
Washington PoU.
Some very queer letters are received
at the White House, and are not all of
a begging character, either. Col.
Latneut was sorting the President’s
mail yesterday while a Post reporter
was present, and from a pile on the
desk he selected two at random. “Here
is a man,” said tiie Colonel, “who
wants information and encloses
stamp to pay. return postage. He de
sires to know if the President was bom
iu Virginia.”
“Here is something novel in the
way of an application,” contirued the
Colonel, as he exhibited two carte de
visites of fa. genteel-looking couple,
stated to be man and wife. The
former was desirous of seouring the
post mastership at the town in which
he resided, and according to the letter
accompanying the pictures, lie w&utcd
the President to see wliat kind of a
loooking man was applying for the
position. He also recommended his
wife as a capable, energetic assistant,
who would attend to i»ostofficc matters
when the postmaster was compelled to
be absent.
But the President is not the only
one who receives curious letters in
Washington, as the following incident
will show: A lady iu one of the De
partments received a letter from a lit
tle sister living in Buffalo, which after
informing her upon home matters,
uaiyely continued: “Sister, if you
live anywhere near the White House,
please go over and ask tbe President
to send me bis monogram on a silver
ten cent piece. I want to use it as a
bangle on my bracelet.”
A Hopeless minority.
New York Times.
Among Rev. Henry Ward Beecher’s
mauy accomplishments not the least is
his ability as a story-teller. To much
amused, listeners lie recently told this
one about a New’ York drninmer; A
typical “knight of the gripsack” was
detained at a small town in Western
New York awhile ago, wlierea revival
meeting was in progress. He had met a
jiarty of convivial friends during his
stay there, and had what is popularly
known as a “load on.” Nevertheless he
drifted into tbe revival meeting and
took a scat well up in front. It was
rather close in tbe church, and the warm
air was conducive to sleep. The drum
mer yielded to the drowsy god, and,
after nodding a little, sank into a pro
found slumber, and slept through tiie
minister's rather long and dry dis
course. The audience sang a hymn, and
drummer slept on. Then the evangelist
began bis address, and wound up
fiis fervid appeal with this request:
‘Willa" * • —
all ofyouwhowantto go to Heav
en please rise.” Everyone in tbechurcli
except the sleepy drummer arose!
When the evangelist asked them to be
seated one of the brothers in tiie same
pew as the sleeping drummer acci-
“ ' shed against him as be sat
dentally brushed
down. The drummer rubbed his eyes,
and, partially awake, heard tiie last
portion of the Evangelist’s* request,
.which was: “Now I want all of you
who want to go to hell to stand np.*?
The drummer struggled a little, leaned
forward nnsteadily and rose from his
iseat in a (lazed sort of way. A sort of
suppressed laugh he heard from some
of the younger people, and an expres
sion of horror lie noticed on the faces of
some of the older ones. Steadyiiq
himself against tiie rail he said
“Well, Parson, Idon’tknow justexact-

SENATOR BROWN’S SCRAP BOOKS.
In \Vbicli tbe Opinions off His
Friends and Enemies arc Pre-
served.
Senator Joe Brown, of Georgia, has
the most complete collection of news
paper clippings iu Washington. They
are all about himself and his sayings
and doings, and about uothing else to
be sure. But everybody who has ever
attempted to collect newspaper scraps,
even in a very modest way, knows
that the only possibility of complete
ness lies iu collecting scraps of only
one soil A complete collection com
prehending every tiling of Interest that
appears in tiie newspapers is so nearly
impossible as be impracticable. A
gentleman in this city has a collection
of scraps w’hich lie has limited to sub
jects of national importance. He has
spent at least 10 years of time and
$10,000 in tiie collection and collation
of his scraps, aud yet, although he lias
tens of thousands of them stowed aw ay
in cases of his own contrivance, his
collection is far from being complete.
But there is nothing to prevent a dili
gent collector from having a nearly
omplete collection of one sort of
seraps. Most ot the ineu in Congr Si
have attempted such a collection, al
ways confining their energies to para
graphs about themselves. But I know
of no- collection which equals that of
the Senator from Georgia. He does
not depend, as many public men now
do, upon that company in New York
which furnishes yon with everything
said about yon in the city pres* for an
annual fee of $10* or $20. He depends
npou his wife, who began his collec
