For our part, we are not at all sur
prised at the conduct of these Albany
patriots. The speech which Mr.
Blaiue delivered in Augusta, Maine,
upon hearing of Democratic victory
and Republican defeat, was just as of
fensive in language aud uncharitable
in spirit as the utterances of the Al
bany assembly. Nor was Blaine any
more bitter tban were John Sherman

Running Accounts.
Nothing has been more baneful to
the public prosperity than running ac
counts. They have been alike disas
trous to the merchant ami trader. As
suming that all parties who run ac
counts mean to discharge at pay day
every cent of their indebtedness; yet
It often happens that it is not done.
The reason, principally. Is, that the
accounts have assumed proportions far
beyond their abilities to discharge. In
this lies the danger to lioth seller and
consumer. The intention is pure, but
credit is so flattering ami insidious
that the consumer, before he is aware
has begun the enjoyment of luxuries
he is little able to indulge. Especially
Is this true of a long time credit, and
tlie purchaser from time to time spends
his ready cash for superfluities, adding
expense and trouble tc the day of set
tlement.
However, credit is not an uiimixcd
evil. Great benefits have resulted
from It In some individual instances,
and great hardships, would have ensued
had It not been possible to obtain credit.
But we firmly believe that the evils
resulting from the system largely
counterbalance the benefits. It seems
impossible under the present circuni'
stances to inaugurate the cash system,
but we should gradually shape our af
fairs to that end so “devoutly to be
wished.”
Jeff. Davis, though a believer in
tlie old doctrines of rights of States
and limitation of the powers of the
general government, thanked God
for tlie restoration of the Union, and
wished all the States and people
great happiness and prosperity.
At the Chicago mass meeting of work
ingmen the chief speaker, a German,
said: “Anarchy is the only waj' for
workingmen to break the chains of
slavery.” The speaker urged the as
semblage with a revolver in one hand
aud knife in the other, and bombs in
their pockets, to march ou to revolu
tion. A large riot followed this speech
aud the McCormick reaper works, and
the workmen engaged there, were
with difficulty protected from the riot
ers. Yet, so deep Is Northern hate for
our section that the censure given to
that German speaker will be mild com
pared to that which many Republican
journals are heaping upon Jeff. Davis.

Senator Colquitt delivered oue of
his rousing temperance speeches a few
nights since at Annapolis. He made
the welkin ring. The address was
oronounced eloquent and the applause
great. It is wonderful how much
good one man may sometimes do.
The Richmond prohibitionists were in
dire distress. They sent for Dr. Haw
thorne. He spoke twice. He was told
that his first speech made at least one
thousaud votes; Ashe Is always equal
to himself, of course Ills second speech
won a thousand more. Only 2,300
votes were east by the prohibitionists.
So If Dr. Hawthorne had not spoken
only 300 votes in all Richmond would
have gone for prohibition. Tlie in
fluence of one man often works won
ders! We would be glad to see Gen.
Colquitt push his way into Albany,
New York, and convict that miserable
people of their sins. They need re

taught not to hold indignation meet-
’ Gkn. Hancock was much laughed
at when running for tlie Presidency
because he said “tariff isa jocal issue.”
There is great truth in the utterance.
Ohio sheep farmers want a high tariff’

have wool to sell and iron to buy. In
Pennsylvania, iron men want a high
tariff ou iron and a low one on wool.
They have iron to sell and wool to
buy. There is no tariff ou cotton, the
great product which the South lias to
sell, but a high tariff on manufactured
goods which her people have to buy.
An Atlanta special to the Augusta
Evening Xeics says: “Gen Gordo l

Bishop Turner, colored, of Geor
gia, was a prominent figure in tlie
Richmond prohibition campaign. In
the political campaign of 1880 the
Democratic club of Atlanta paid negro
speakers to go into the “doubtful”
counties ami stir up tlie negroes. The
precedent lias been followed since.
But it is a bad precedent. It is a bad
policy. This same Bishop Turner is
a civil rights agitator. We are moving

question.

The Atlanta Constitution, comment

There can be no triumph of Demo
cratic principles until there are Demo
crats in office to carry out tliose princi
ples.” Why, 'not very long ago we
read a long article from the Constitu
tion which attempted to show that
there was no distinctive difference
now between the “principles” of the
two great parties, and • that the only
distinction was in their “methods.
If there is no difference in their prin
ciples it is no use to raise a row over
the mere matter of who holds the of
flees. But there is a wide difference in
the principles and the teachings, in
tlie aims and the objects of the two
parties, and those in sympathy with
Democratic principles should be re
lied ii |»oii to carry them out. The
civil service act covers 15,000 offices.
As to these Mr. Cleveland’s hands are
tied, but he has freedom of actiou re-
s|*ectiug all the rest. The objection to
his course is that he extended the poli
cy governing those 15,000 over almost
all the other offices.
It all looks very pretty for a few of
our leading men to combine and con

The eft’ect of all such combinations is
disastrous in the end to good govern
ment and social order. The best results
of government are not attained that
way. Our party is worth preserving.
Its interests should be higher thau
any man or set of men, and it* life
should not be trusted into the hands of
any combination of men. Political
combinations, like corporations, have
no souls. If these great corporations
have in view only tlieir monetary ad
vancement, so the political combina
tions have in view their personal ad
vancement and aggrandisement. Both
are regardless of the best interests of
the people when their own selfish pur
poses are antagonized.
The North is full of bad men. The
millennium has uotstruck that section
yet. It may in the next thousand
years. Especially does the Republican
party contain many bad, unprincipled
politicians. Whatever can be made
out of Mr. Davis’s utterances, and the
cordial reception given him through
out his triumphal march of peace, will
be readily seized upon by demagogues
to place the South in the wrong light
before the world. Eudeavor will be
made to show that we have not ac
cepted the results of the war, and that
the South is still rebellious in spirit.

Tiik laying of thecomer stone of tlie
monument, in honor of the Confeder
ate dead of Alabama, on tlie 29th, was
attended with imposing and impres
sive ceremonies. President Davis de
livered a ringing address. Speaking
ol secession, he said: “This was not
a revolution, because the State Govern
ment having charge of all domestic
affairs both of person anil of property,
remained unchanged. To call it a rev
olution is . a gross solicfeni, as sover
eigns never rebel and As only sover
eigns can form a national league. If
States had not been sovereign, there
could not have been a compact of
Union.”
Colonel A. S. Bacon, in a Yecent
lecture in' Brooklyn, said that in days
like these when communism, iufiddity
and »ihilis>ni are hurled in here from
Europe, it becomes tlie duty of our
young meu to show the world that they
are not ashamed of tlie religion that
has made ns a great nation. Unless
we have some such bulwark our dis
tinctive American principles will be
wrecked.
At a large meeting of workingmen
held in Chicago a few days since, the
drift was against strikes as a remedy
for evils. For instance, it was shown
how foolish lor Chicago workmen to
strike after receiving everything asked
for because some men in Cincinnati
similarly favored. But the
ratified the movement for
eight hours work. There are trades
which cannot afford to pay ten hour
wages for eight hour’s work. To do so
would be to ran their business at a loss.
Especially Is this eight-hour system
impracticable in railroad affairs.
The Americas Recorder makes this
criticism upon the enterprise of the At
lanta CousUt»UoE y s report of the laying
of the corner stone of the Confederate
Monument In Montgomery, Wednes
day: “Oue would judge that Gen.Gor-
don was the “big gun” of the occasion
and Mr. Davis a mere spectator. There
is nothing like booming a man when
you want him to run for Governor.”
Perhaps the greatest banquet ever
giyen in the State was tendered by the
Chatham Artillery to its distinguished
guests. Long tables were stretched in
the spacious gun yard, which had been
floored and roofed over for the occa
sion. Toasts were responded to by
President Davis, Gen. Lawton, Rufus
Lester, Gen. Gordon, Pat Walsh, Rob
ert Falligant, T. M. Norwood and
others.
C;esar paused upon tlie brink of the
Rubicon! To plunge in and to cross
over was to disregard the boundary of
his country’s rights and give vent to
his persona 1 ambition. Cmsar con
quered, but Rome fell forever! Gen.
Gordon was to have announced him
self lie fore—hut he, too, paused—as If
held in restraint by conscience tor
awhile. The Rubicon is crossed. If,
like Cicsar, lie should conquer, may it
not lead to the destruction of die Dem
ocratic party. Party unity received a
great shock in the campaign of 1880.
May it survive that of 188G!
Senator Colquitt regards the labor
troubles as more titan effervescent.
They betoken, he thinks,
strife and convulsion. The
thinks the high protective tariff is
partly responsible for the
troubles since they restricted us to our
home markets for our manufactures,
and had cutoff foreign outlet.
It is claimed by the high protec
tionists that the g eat object of a high
tariff is to protect American labor. It
is strange, then, that the very labor for
which a special policy lias been inau
gurated for over a quarter of a centu
ry should be so dissatisfied and indulge
In so much rebellion.

Hon. J. C. C. Black’s speech at tlie
unveiling of the Hill statue was equal
to the occasion. It was a dignified ad
dress. There was nothing top-loptical
about it. It was free from gush and
no taffy was thrown out to entrap and
catch the old soldier element. Black
is a genuine Southern man. His meth
ods, like Ben Hill’s, are straightfor
ward and direet. He is not a “com
mercial” Statesman. On our outside
will be found extracts from his manly
oration. We regret we had not space
for the whole address.
Boutklle’s bill Is troubling him
again. He prepared resolutions on
Mr. Davis’s oration. He wanted a
Congressional committee to be ap
pointed to investigate'the receptions
given Mr. Davis and to discover if the
object was treasonable. Mr. Reed and
others finally persuaded him not to In
troduce his resolutions. Tlie fool
killer is certainly sleeping ou liis post

that party permit that?” The im
portance of securing this great
ness almost at the doors of this Gov
ernment was set forth by Senator
Beck and Frank Ilnrd a number of
years ago. They showed how we had
lost all that business, and pointed out
the imposs ibility ofsccariLgany large

They dealt with thoee who nil

needed foreign outlet, and as long as
our market was st> circumscribed, by
the policy of high tariff*, more goods
already being manufactured than
there was home consumption, that the
South could not expect to build up to
auy great extent in manufactories.

to let the high tariff remain in tact.
The Democrats of Vermont have
lived unuer a'most restricted “boy
cott” ever since 1861. They had to
endure the sight of all offices, Federal
and State, in the hands of Republicans.
The Republicans are the old Whigs
and are tlie wealthy class aud have
d their advantage most relentlessly.
The war on Democrats did not stop in
politics, but was carried into social
life. No Democrat could even be
President of an agricultural associa
tion or of public assemblies, and could
not get elected as church warden, or
vestryman. To be a Democrat meant
privacy and ostracism. Yet the party
has been kept intact for twenty-five
years under these adverse circttm-
ices. Some papers in Georgia are
preaching the doctrine of political
“boycott” iu our own party, but such
proscription will not be tolerated. It
may, under great excitement, succeed
temporarily, but public opinion will
reject such attempts at political ostra
cism.
The speech of Gen. John B. Gor
don, at Montgomery, wa# a magniti
cent oration. His tribute to Jefferson
Davis was fitting indeed. Gen. Gor
don is a magnetic orator, and on this
occasion he- fully sustained himself.
In truth, it may be called “the great
est effort of his life.” Certainly the
occasion was one full of inspiration.
The honors paid him by the great
throng were second only to those paid
to Mr. Davis himself. We take off the
hat of admiration and express our
thanks to the gallant General for his
eloquent utterances, which, lUe the
occasiou that inspired them, will be
“memorable,” and tend to enlarge the
scope of the “patriotism” of all the
people, to enhance th’eir self-respect,
to augment their self-reliance, to exalt
their manhood, and heighten their ap
preciation for their past history and
achievements, and thus intensify and
perpetuate their love of country.
All Georgians can take pride in the
organizations of the Confederate vet
erans. The purpose of these associa
tions Is for the survivors to appear In
an organized capacity at the unveiling
of the Hill statue, and In this form to
pay their respects to President Davis.
This is highly proper, aud we approve
the purpose and sentiment. But fur
ther than that the organizations ought
not to go. It would be a desecration
for these associations to form them
selves into political machines to boom
auy man or set of men. Politicians
catch at all straws and turn every
breeze into a current that shall waft
them into the haven of tlieir ambitious
hopes. But there are some things
which should be kept sacred from po
litical pollution. Such are the memo
ries of the lost cause. The profaning
foot of the politician should not he al
lowed to desecrate the temple of our
buried4>ast.
The Augusta Evening Xevo>, being in
a critical hnmor, expresses itself in this
manner: “The Atlanta Constitution,
with characteristic enterprise, sent a
correspondent to Montgomery to report
the Jeff Davis meeting in that city. In
his reports in yesterday’s paper the
reader would infer that it was a Gor
don demonstration purely, and that the
Davis part wasa mere side show. There
is no donbt-of the object of this report.
Our own letter printed to day in The
Evening Xews from Atlanta would
seem to give force to this surmise. It
would indeed be a pity should the oc
casion of the unveiling of the statue to
the lamented Ben HiU at the hands of
the great and honored Jefferson Davis
be used for the base purposes indicat
ed. Let us hope not; bat should such
prove to be the case, those responsible
for it-may as well prepare for their own
political fnneral.”

Great Conspiracy,” which will be

with a remedy that has cured me entirely-
