Macon, Ga., May 2.
A glance at our first and third pages
this morning will be sufficient to con*
vince our readers that the News axd
Advertiser kept up with the proces
sion yesterday and last night.
The Chatham Artillery was formed
of Revolutionary veterans only three
years after the great Rebellion of ’70. ...
L,. “ , i . .1 i The fruit of many a bloody tilt.
The country was demoralized at the ; Each bosom bears a scar.
time, and the company was formed to
pro£ect the community from the law-
Tbe names of Lafayette
tsbiugtou are associated with
that of tbe veteran company.
There is nothi ig more touching nor
more humiliating than to see those who
have reached the acme of human posi
tions, and who were absolutely secure
in the hearts of the people, go back to
the foot of the political ladder again,
and resort to all sorts of schemes and
booms incident to the ways of small
politicians in order to climb up the
ladder again. What is fame?
Nothing Is wider apart than the life
of a politician and a minister. Yet
the politician oltcn in his own mind
likens himself to a good shepherd. He
uses the term “my poople” as does a
pastor speaking of his flock. And
from the heedless manner in which
people oftimes blindly follow, the
politician might change the phrase
ology and say truly: “My sheep.”
Yesterday's demonstration in
honor of the visit of ex-President
Davis was a sort of “soul bath” to our
people. It revived the patriotism and
quickened the old-time enthusiasm of
a peop’e who have quietly demeaned
themselves as aliens of the nation for
more than twenty years. Nor was
their enthusiasm in any way calculated'
to revive sectionalism. While it effer
vesced. swilled, echoed and re-echoed,
it did not once extend beyond the |>or-
taJs of Joyalry to the L'nion and the
“old flag.” ~
Gen. Gordon told a reporter in Sa
vannah that one reason he wanted to
run for Governor was because since
his Senatorial resignation, remarks
had been made about it which he did
not like to submit to. Nothing could
have been said about it worse than
what was said in the campaign ofiS80.
Yet the people passed upon the ease
then and gave him an overwhelming
vindication. If one jury sits upon a
case and, having weighed all the testi
mony, says “not guilty,” that
ought to satisfy a reasonably innocent
uian.
It has been our observation that one
of the greatest evils o. Georgia politics
is frequency of elections. They are
already entirely too frequent. They
breed strife and ill will and have a
demoralizing tendency. In view of
this It is surprising that a practical
man should request the Executive
Committee to order primary elections
just to choose delegates, when so soon
thereafter an election is to be x held.
We trust the Committee will hate
more wisdom than to yield to such a
request. A full performance of it is
altogether impracticable.
Gjcn. Gordon complains to a report
er about some flings that have been
made at him iu regard to his participa
tion in the memorial exercises at Mont
gomery. We have seen no flings at
General Gordon. His speech on that
occasion was much appreciated. Rut
we have read quite a number of sharp
flings at the Atlanta ‘ • »r
setting forth General Gordon’s part
more prominently than that of Mr.
Davis. For instance, General Gordon’s
ride from Atlanta tq Montgomery was
much more particularized than Presi
dent Davis’s from Beauvoir. The
Montgomery papers alsocomplianed of
the “gush” and the peculiar turn that
the Georgia reporters gave the affair,
What’s up? Have you read the
Atlanta Constitution's bold attack on
the Georgia Congressmen? Senator
Colquitt is ttie only one who has
spoken on the fast mail subsidy except
Gov. Brown, whose views he op
posed, and the attack must be intend
ed for him. It accuses hint of not rep
resenting the new South. Why, in the
great contest of 1880 the Constitution's
main argument favorable to Gov. Col
quitt was that he did represent the
new’ South, auu tiiat the opposition
were the old Bourbons, who never
learned anything. At that time we
were told that the Constitution was
leading the “progressive” Democracy.
What’s the matter ?« The Constitution
is “booming” Gen. Gordon, and lie is
not a high protective tariff man. He
was not when in Congress. -Why
then attack Colquitt and let Gordon
off?
To keep out of tiie war which her
own fanaticism precipitated upon tiie
country, the North hired the idlers
and tramps of foreign lauds to swell
her army. These men were encouraged
to plunder and rob aud despoil the
South. They' were even told that tl e'
old meq and women and tender
maidens had uo rights which an iuvad-
iug army was bound to respect.
Northern riches, perverted to so des
picable a cause, are threatened now by
those same hired despoilers. These
foreign dogs of war have turned upon
those who once ted them, and petted
them, and pampered them. It w as not
the lower classes but the wealthy, the
aristocracy of the North that taught
her people fanaticism and hatred of
the South. The day of retribution is
fast coming. The North is powerless
to prevent the natural out come of her
own teachings and example.
Since writiugtueeditorial on “( ieor-
giaCongressm. ii” in which we pro
tested against the charge of the Consti
tution that our Congressmen, save Sen
ator Brown, were representing
Georgia, we have since read an article
in the Monday’s issue under the cap
tion, “Appropriations and Subsidies,”
which defines the position of the Con
stitution very clearly. It la a bold
atUck ou .the Southern Congressmen.
It charges them openly with standing
in tiie way of the commercial develop
ment or the South. The whole\article
really throws down tiie gauntlet on
the subject of hi Ji tariff and declares
that Georgia’s'Congressmeu do not rep-'
resent tiie Ideas and wishes «>f the
new South. As Gov. Brown favored
the subsidy for the fast mail service to
South America, and as Gov. Colquitt
spoke against it, we presume all this
tiiug at Uie Geoqga
convenient way to fling at Colquitt.
^HE CHATHAM CENTENNIAL.
UNVEILING OF THE TABIEIS ON
THE GREENE MONUMENT.
President Davis’s Discourse.
The unveiling of the tablets on the
monument to Gen Nathaniel Greene
on . May 6th, was a very prominent
feature of the centennial festival of the
Chatham Artillery. The oration of the
occasion was delivered by Col. C. C.
Jones, of Augusta. After a salute of
thirteen guns had beeu fired by the
Chatham Artillery, calls were made
for Mr. Davis. Amid great cheering
he arose and said :
It mig^ he possible, he said, to
speak at, but not to, this vast audience.
He’could not find words quire to fir
tiie occasion. This gathering is signifi
cant, he said, as it expresses the sym
pathy of the people of Savannah* on
this centennial event. Two O4*casions
—that of the Chatham Artillery Cen
tennial and the honoring of tiie memo
ry of General Nathaniel Greene—were
most happily blended together. The
colonies of Riiode Dluml and Georgia
stood shoulder to shoulder, battling
for independence, in 1776, and it was
in that great crisis of our history tiiat
Rhode Island gave her son to Georgia
to defend, the common principles of
State sovereignty and constitutional
liberty, which lived then, lives now,
and which shall live forever. [Ap
plause.] “It is true,” he said, “that
immediatel after the late war Georgia
seemed for a time to have lost her
birth-right, but she regained her free
dom. and with Rhode Island to-day
stands shoulder to shoulder in defense
of constitutional liberty. Georgia
threw open her arms to* receive into
her bosom that patriotic son ot Rhode
Island. [Applause.] Here he cast
anchor, determined t * stay as long as
God spired him to breathe, and here
he lived and died. These are memo
ries. that endear him to the State of
Georgia aud to every one every where
who loves .liberty. In 1776 the colo
nies acquired State sovereignty. They
revolted-from the mother country in a
desperate struggle. That was the
cause for which they fought. Is it a
lost cause uow? Never? [Here the
old man became eloquent and spoke
with something like the tire and pathos
of old].
“Has Georgia,” iie continued, “lost
the State sovereignty which, with
Rhode Island,she wore in 1776? No!
A thousand times No! ‘Truth crushed
to earth will rise again.’ You may
hold it down fora time,but it will rise
again in its might, clothed in all maj
esty and power that God gave, and so
the independence of these States, con
stitutional liberty. State sovereignty,
which they won iu 1776, and which
Nathaniel Greene, a son of Rhode Is
land, helped to win for Georgia as
well as for Rhode Island, can never
viie. I thank you for the honor of
your regard, and I hope God may
bless you.”

A PATRIOTS ADDRESS.
Delivered by ex-l*re*idenf Jeffer
son Duvia Under the Shadow ol
Sreene Monument at Savannah.
At the unvoting of the inscription
tablets of the Nathaniel Greene Monu
ment at Savannah on Thursday last,
after Col. C. 0. Jones, the orator of the
day, had delivered his address, ex
President Davis, who w as present, was
called for, and the scene and ex-Presi-
d-*nt’s words are reported as follows by
the Xews:
• The venerable chieftain arose from
his $eat,aud,looking around the crowd,
made one of his courtly bows, which
had the effect of increasing the cheers.
Mr. Davis, after bowing repeatedly
to the audience and waiting patieutly
until the cheers had ceased, delivered a
brief address. It might be possible,he
said, to speak at but uot to this vast
‘'audience. He could not find wordi-
equal to the occasion. This gathering
is significant, he said, as it expresses
the sympathy - of the people of Savan
nah with this Centennial event. The
two occasions—that of the honoring of
the memory of Gen. Nathaniel Greeue
—were most happily blended togeth
er.
The colonies of Rhode. Island and
Georgia stood shoulder to shoulder bat
tling for independence in 1776. And
it was in thatgreat crisis of our history
that Rhode Island gave her son to Geor
gia to defend the cowrnou principles ol
State sovereignty and constitutional
liberty-which lived theu, lives now* and
which shall live forever. [Applause.]
“It is true,” he said, “that immedia
tely after the late war Georgia seemed,
for a time, to have lost her birthright,
but she regained her freedom, and witli
Rhode Island to-day stands shoulder to
shoulder in defense of constitutional
liberty.
“Georgia threw open her arms to
receive into her bosom this patriotic
son of Rhode Island. [Applause].
Here he cast anchor, determined to stay
as longais God spared him to breathe,
and here he lived and died. These are
the'memories that endear him to the
State of Georgia andto every one every
where who loves liberty. In 1776 th»-
colonies acquired Slate sover-
ignty. They revolted from tiie
mother country iu a desperate strug
gle. 'That was the cause for
which they fough*. Is - it k la t
cause now? Never!” and here the olu
man became eloquent aud spoke with
something like the fire aud pathos of
old. “Has Georgia,” he coutfuued.
“lost the State sovereignty, which,
with Rhode Island, she won iu 1776?
No! a thousand times no. 'Truth
crushejl to earth will rise again.* You
may hold it down for a time, but i:
will rise upin its might cldched iu all
the majesty and power^that God gave
it.
• “And so the Independence Of these
States, the constitutional liberty, tl'.e
State sovereignty which they won iu
’76, and which Nathaniel Greene, tiie
son of Rhode Island, helped to win for
Georgia as well as for'Rhode Island,
can aiever die. I thank you for this
token of your regard, and I hope God
may bless yon.”
At the close of Mr. Davis’ remarks
the hand of the old statesman.
or Georgia:
At Home, -DeKalb County, Ga.,
May 8,1888.—To the People of Geor
gia: After much reflection I have de
cided to become a candidate for nom
ination by the democratic party of
Georgia for the office of governor. This
decision has not been reached without
sober thought and full consideration.
For many months past personal and
political friends have urged me to be
come a candidal*. From every section
of the State, and from all classes and
former divisions in tbe party, these re
quests have come. 1 have hesitated
and waited, because I desired to know
whether the wish was general with the
people. Of this I cannot longer enter
tain a doubt. The evidences which
have reached me (particularly in the
lost tew weeks) of the desjre of the
people, liave profoundly stirred my
heart and satisfied me of my duty.
From distant portions of the State and
from my immediate neighbors (some of
whom have known me in most intimate
associations from my boyhood up) those
solicitations have come. This move
ment by the people so far as 1 am able
to judge, is absolutely spontaneous. 1
have not written one letter upon the
subject, except in answer to those which
have reached me; and 1 have solicited
the aid of uo man nor conversed with
any who have not introduced tbe sub
ject.
Now that I am a candidate, I trust
thatuoue of my fellow citizens of Geor
gia will misunderstand me. From the
ungenerous, unwarranted and utterly
untruthful criticisms which have here
tofore beeu indulged in by certain par
ties in reference to myself, 1 seek no
vindication at the hands of the people.
If the life that I have led for more
than half a century, before this people
among whom I was born and reared, is
not a sufficent answer to my enemies
without cause or excuse, no reply from
me would satisfy them. If, at any
time of my life, if iu private or public
s’jitiou, in peace or in war. I have ever
deserved the confidence and esteem of
this people, I deserve the same now as
surely and as completely. I wish,
however, to make known in this public
manuer, that I shall visit and speak to
as many counties as possible, and am
ready on all occassions to confront these
enemies before the people.
Should the people prefer either of the
other able and honorable gentleman
who are candidates lor tiie office, 1 shall
support their choice most cheerfully.
If, however, the people should honor
me as their choice, I shall eiideavor to
seivethem with an eye single to the
best interests of Georgia.
J. B. Gordon.
A PROPOSITION TO THE CADI DATES.
General Gordou has sent the follow
ing open letter to each ©t the candida
tes for Governor in Georgia. We print
the oneitlint was sent to. Major Bacon:
DeKalb County, Ga., May 8,1886.
—Hon. A. O4 Bacon, Macon, Ga.—
Dear Sir: Neither ot us ought to de
sire—and I certainly do not—to become
the candidate of the democratic party
of Georgia for Governor, except by the
will of the democratic people of Geor
gia. I know of but one way of ascer
taining infallibly that will; and method
of placing votes in the ballot box. The
plan of calling together meetings at the
court house, appointing a chairman,
who, in turn, appoints a committee to
select delegates, may or may not rep
resent the will of the people. Doubt
less, in many cases, delegates thus se
lected represent precisely reverse of
the popular will. I ask, therefore,
that you unite with me iu a letter to
the e’xecutive committee, soon to meet,
requesting tiiat committee, to recom
mend primary elections in every county
in this State, in order that the w ill of
the people may be surely ascertained.
Very respectfully yours.
Jno. B. Gordon.
Judge Simmons retires.
Macon, Ga., Mry 8.—The following
correspondence between tbe Macou bar
and Judge Simmons was given to the
reporters at a late hour this evening.
They explain themselves:
Judge T. J. Simmons—Dear Sir:
Judging from the capacity, and faith
fulness with which you discharged the
most important public trust iu the past,
your elevation to the highest office iu
-layout, and hail allowed Mr. Barber Ga..: Dear Sir—i firfrt'published r ip
$100 damages, and thereupon he hitch- the Telegrtfk, the Chronicle und the
Constitution and other daily papers of
the State of Suuday, a letter which
1 purports to have been addressed by
you to myselt. I have received no
such letter but presume Its publication
was authorized by you. Desiring to
conform to what appears to he your
chosen medium of communication, 1
reply to the same through the public
press. Yon and I were both in Sa'
proposed
blind appeared on tbe field at this mo
ment and began to pull down a fence
to let the road go oo. Tbe two farm
ers met, and Mr. Barber, who is mus
cular, took Mr. Lillibridge iu bis arms
and-without a word, set him orerethe
fence oa tbe latter's land. Be told him
be must never come on his (Barber’s!
land again.
Mr. Wheeler, another neighbor, a
friend of Mr. Lillibridge, had hnnied
to the scene to take Mr. Lllllbridge’s
part, and he came up just in time to
catch a terrific Mow between the .eyes
from Barber’s fist. He dropped, and
saw the rest of the exercises in a hori
zontal position. During the battle
Mra Barber had shown no auger, and
had .said not a word; After Mr.
Wheeler weut to grass Mr. Lillibridge
approached bis opponent, not too
closely, and sarcastically said:
‘Now, I would like to hear you
prty.”
“Very well,” quietly replied Barber,
“I will; I am not mad with you.”
Then he dropped on ids knees in the
spongy meadow near one of the big
rocks that his stone puller had de
posited there, and closiug bis eyes,
clasping his hands, and turning his face
toward the clear sky, be prayed “tiiat
the Lord would make Mr. Lillibridge
a better man, and teach him to do by
others as he would wish to be done by.
Amen!” he added in a fu r vent and
sonorous tone. After ptayerMr. Lilli
bridge and Mr. Wheeler quietly with
drew, going in one direction,, a’nd Mr.
Barber went avross tbe lot in another.

But from the universally admitted

the onerous and responsible duties of
judge, the people and bar of tbe Macon
circuit will regard as a public calamity
any course tiiat constrains your retire

preferment at this time will embarrass
a hoq of your personal friends, especi

The following is (old of an enterpris

merchant in question, having heard of
the arrivaRof a country trader who
was known to be a large purchaser,
and of unquestionable credit, was re
solved to get him to visit his establish

could secure him as a Customer. He
accordingly sent out one of his drum
mers, of w bom ne had quite a number;
adapted to everv taste and disposition.
The one **ent, however, returned with
out success. No. 2 was dispatched,
with no better success, and again No.
On taking his departure, after a pleas

lo commit the “mistake” or taking the
trader’s hat instead of his own. Next
morning, as was expected, tiie mer

THE MOST IMPORTANT SPEECH YET
delivered by him in this city. He
said.
If Savannah needs a guard, here it is.
If the United States needs defenders,
here they are. If the United States
needs troops for the war, I don’t know
where they could get better, braver, or
more trustworthy soldiers than right
here in Georgi •. In the days of Cole
man’s existence Georgians were taught
the path of duty by a man who spent
his fortune in taking debtors out of
jail. Yours.is a great history, as the
Empire State of the South. [ Applause.]
You gave to the Union out of your orig
inal territory two States, Alabama aud
Mississippi, and they are proud of
their parent.. [Applause.] In the his
tory of Georgia one thing always stood
preeminently distinct—tbe assertion
and maintenance of independence and
tiie dignity of sovereignty—not sovei-
Ignty that oppresses and encroaches
upon that of others, bnt that wideh
a.ways uplifts its hand in defence.
There are some who take it for granted
that when 1 allude to State sovereignty
I want to bring on another war. I am
too old for a fight again, and God
knows I don’t want you to have neces
sity of fighting again. [Applause.]
However, if that necessity should arise,
I know you will meet it as you always
have discharged every duty that you

When Mr. Davis read the letter his
countenance lighted up aud he said:
“Is that you, Jeff?” xud grasped the
young man heartily by the hand, and
enjoyed a pleasant conversation with
him. Mr. Stewart came all the way
to Savannah to see Mr. Davis and to
show him the letter.

.. .—f r . . «IS reporteu. unit ne lias quite recent-
Mined,” 1 might, with protM-i« y ,Vt- e lywrlnen to some ot hie lol-
press some surprise that you failed.to - -
avail yonrselgof tiie opportunity thus
presented to then confer with me rela
tive to the proposition which you now
make. It would not have been prema
ture for you to-bave done so, as, If you
were co rectly reported,you were then
actively ca'vassiiig for support among
those whom you tliere met.
In respousc t*» your projiosition 1
make the following reply: As 1 un
derstand it, the custom of the party
in this State has been for the executive
committee to tlx the date aud place for
the assembling of the convention and
the basis of representation. The coun
ties have always been left to decide for
themselves the manner in which they
should choose their delegates. Some of
them have adopted the plan of primary
elections and others have made their
elections of delegates through
the means of mass meetings.
I believe the people of the
several’ comities are luily capable oi
determining for themselves which plan
is best adapted to their convenience
and the proper ascertainment of the
popular preference. Whenever they
i hoose to resort to a primary election,
their action will meet with my full
approval. Whenever, on the contrary,
they decide to meet together in open
mass meeting, 1 shall acquiesce in their
action. 1 believe that the Democratic
voters of tiie several counties can de
termine better than the executive
committee or perhup- better than you
or myself tiie mode best suited to the
situation of their several communities.
The only office of the ex-nrutive
committee is to supply tiie need ol
a head to the organization. With that
accomplished, 1 favor the largest lib
erty of action to tiie people, and the
smallest constraint or dictation by
either committee or candidates. I am
opposed to centralized power of all
kinds wheth *r it i§ found iu the pri
vate organization of individuals tor
their owu_personal political ends or iu
the committees necessary to party ma
chinery.
As those who are knowu to be your
political friends have iu the past very
largely pmftteij by the use of the
modes of proceedure. which have here
tofore bceli pursued, it is to be pre
sumed that you will not .condemn the
same as having iu those instance failed
to tfscertahi honestly and fully “the
will of the Democratic people of Geor-
Xia-’V
have never feared a lull expression
of the popular wi.l. l have no feai ol
it uou. 1 >hal! be satisfied that such
popular will shall find-its expression
iu the manner iu winch the people of
each county shall t'eterniiue for
themselves. You will pardon me
for saying that the lime has come
when party policy iu this State
should lie shaped without reference to
tiie wishes of candidates. Conven
tions aud elections are held presuma
bly iu the interest of the people rather
than In the ititerest of candidates, aud
the wishes of the former should never
be ma ’e subservient tiie juterests of
the latter. The executive com
mittee might resent as impertinent
any attempt ou our part to dictate its
Hue of action, and the people would
certainly repudiate any effort of the
committee to control or restrict their
mode of procedure in the appointment
of delegates. ,
So far as I am personally concerned
I will be content to abide the result of
either primary elections 6r the action
of the mass meetings in the several
counties, according to the best judg-

.“Macon, Ga., 3Iay 10, 1886.—To
General John B. Gordon, Atlanta—
Dear Sir: I respectfully ask that you
\yill agree with me upon a joint dis-
cussiou before the Democratic party

the pending contest for the Guberna

“Iu order to arrange for the same, I
request you to select a friend to meet

with the view of having them confer
and agree upon the. dates and places
for the proposed joint discussion. You

It has been decided by the Recorder
of Moutreal that mid raped figure can
not be exposed iu the shop windows of
that city. A firm of jewelers placed
copies of Michiel Angelo’s “Night
and Morning,” the original of which
is to be found in the chapel of tiie
Medici, in their shop window*, and
3, and so on, until ail had gone and thev were arrested. The Jud«e in the
hark without th^r couke of his remarks on the c£se said:
“Cicero accused the Greeks of having
introduced entirely nude statues into
Rome, and Plinius complains of the
corruption of art in his time. There
is nothing surprising in this when the
come hack without their man.
The merchant now determined to go
himself, nud finding that brandy and
water and free tickets to the theater
were of no avail, for the country trader
did not Uke one or go to the other; he
was reduced to the necessity ofem- most pernicious pasiums were de
ploying a rase, which* as tbe sequel It Is not even surprising that during
^ .fir.-t years of Christ,auity t„%
Christians, just out of the filth
idolatry, had but little horror of
jects which were seen everywhere in
temples, public squares, and palaces.
Christian art then appeared aud ac
quired a high degree of perfection.
Are we obliged to accept indecent ob
jects because they are offered by great
artists? It Is'said that a work of art
caifnot be indecent? But why not?
sold a Is it because it conies nearer to na
ture? But tiiis is exactly tiie reason
which makes it dangerous.”
Longfellow’* First Poem.
Boiton Record
WhCu onr great poet, Longfellow,
was 9 years old, his teacher wanted
him to write a composition. Little
Henry, like all children, shrank from
the undertaking. His teacher said:
“You can write, can you not?”
“Yes,” was the reply.
“Then you can pat words together.”
“Yes, sir.”
“Then,” said the master, “yon may
take yonr slate and go behind the
school-house aud then you can find
something to write about, and then you
can tel! what it is used for, and what
is to be done w ith it, and that will be a
composition.”
Henry took his slate and went out.
He went behind Mr. Finney’s barn,
which chanced to be near, and seeing
a fine tnruip growinguphe thought he
knew what that was. what it was for,
and what would be done with it.
A half hour bad been allowed to
Henry for his first undertaking in
writing compositions. In half an
hour be carried in his work, all accom
plished, and the master is said to have
been affected almost to tears when he
saw what little Henry had done in tbe
short time.

lowers here, giving the reasons, in liis
clear, lucid and forcible style, why
General Gordon should be nominated
for Governor, and why Major Bacon
must, by all means, he defeated. 1
hear that this, letter had beeu and is
beiug exhibited around where it will
do most good. 11 the report is true it
was exhibited once too -often, as it
was rather prematurely disclosed to a
gentleman who is not committed .to the
scheme to defeat Major Bacon, and
does not appprove the movement nor
the methods by which it is hoped to
capture the Gubernatorial nomina
tion for Geu.. Gordon. This geutle-
inau is being looked up, and if he can
be found and the report referred to is
true, it may be possible to give the
Telegraph the main points in this let
ter. The letter itself would be & pub
lication worth tiie reading.
If accounts be true, this is not tbe
first manifesto on the Gubernatorial
question which has been received here
from Washington City, and the proba
bility is it will not be the last.
A well known citizen of LaGrange
who trains with the Atlanta machiue,
has been in Atlanta within the last few
days undertaking to give the reasons
why Gen; Gordon should be elected
Governor. It is more than likely that
he also got his cue from Washington.
An gniiutrlr ‘-Boom” Squelched
The prcn>, generally, throughout the
State, is speaking out very plainly on
the subject of the. Gubernatorial cam
paign. The Rome Courier always
honest, sees fit to remark that for some
time past there have been intimations
that certain parties contemplated
availing themselves of the occasion oi
the unveiling of the statute to Seuator
HiU, the visit of Jefferson Davis, and
the gathering of Confederate soldiers
at Atlanta, to “boom” a political
movement. Notwithstanding the rep
etition of such rumors, we could
hardly believe that such a purpose was
entertaiued, or if entertained, that it
could be carried out. It was so mani
festly improper and reprehensible that
we did not think tbe good sense of the
people would permit it. We are glad
to know that there was no such de
monstration, and that the only attempt
to get np one (a report-of which we
copy from the Constitution) was a fail
ure. That attempt was made iu behalf
of General Gordon—a gentleman in
direct antagonism with Mr. Hill upon
questions of State politics. We can
appreciate tbe feeling -of delicacy
which constrained Gen. Gordon to
withold his sanction from such a move
ment at that time and under existing
circumstances. It would have been a
flagrant perversion of the proper ob
ject of the occasion and an imposition
on the people who had been congre
gated for quite a different purpose. It
must also have been painful to Mr.
Davis, who went to Atlauta solely to
pay a tribute to the, memory of his
dead friend, to witness the perversion
of the assembly which his presence
had attracted into a gathering for tbe
promotion of the political aspirations
of men who antagonized Mr. Hill
while he lived, aud whose combina
tions for ruling the State would have
found in him a sturdy opponent if still
in life.
Iu this connection we deem it ap
propriate to reproduce Mr. Hill’s esti
mate of the efforts of politicians to
boost their favorites into places by a
“hip and hurrah” over their services
in very dissimilar fields. We make an
extract from his address before the
Southern Historical Society at Atlanta,
delivered February 18th, 1874:
“We must elevate the statesmanship
of the county. In all republics an im
becile statesmanship has succeeded
civil war, and we have not escaped the
scourge. In order to elevate our
statesmanship, two things, in my
opinion are indispensable. In tbe first
place, our people dmst abandon
tbe insaue habit of placing men iu
high civil positions simply because ot
their military talents or success. Gen
eral Lee was right. It is contrary to
the very genius aud safety of Republi
can institutions, to place their civil
administration in the keeping of men
of military aptitude' and training.
Brave fighting is no evidence of able
statesmanship. It is usually evidence
of the very contrary. Otherwise,
Captain Jack was the fore mo t states
man of this age, and, iustead of being
hanged, ought to have been made
President or Senator for life. If this
habit shall not cease, we shall not
have a civil statesman for President
tiiis generation. In Congress, coo, we
h.* ve generals, and colonels, and cap
tains, and lieutenants, sufficient' to
make a small army, and scarcely
statesmen enough to form a good com
mittee.”
Let Jane Bring it* Fruit to Tan*
With its proverbial certainty, the
191st Grand Monthly Drawing of the
world-renowned Louisiana State Lot
tery came off at noon^ on Tuesday,
April. 13th, 1886, at New Orleans, La.,
superintended by Gen’lsG. T. Beaure
gard, of La., aud Jubal A* Early, of
Va., the Commissioners officially se
lected. The result is briefly chronicled
thus: Ticket No. 25,244 (sold in fifths
at one dollar each) drew the Fret Cap
ital Prize of $75,000—one-fifthh was
held by Theodore Leutz, a well-known
resturani keeper, No. 8 Williams’
Coart, the caterer for the Sherman
Hoose, Boston, Mass., and paid to him
by express: another fifth was held by
R. F. Bacon, a well-known citizen ol
Portland, Me., for a small syndicate of
five friends: auother was sold to
Ernest Autz, a prominent engraver ol
No. 321 Baronne St., and Tbos. McMa
hon, grocers, at cor. of Baronne and
Felicity Sts.; another by John Daste,
a saloon-keeper, at the corner of Clara
and Calliope Sts.—tbe last three named
all live in New Orleans, La. No. 11,545
drew the Second Capital prize ol
$25,000, and was a^o sold in fifths at
one dollar eacb*«iie-^kb to L. G.
French, of Colesbuig, Ky.; one to
Henry Lotz, of Patterson, N. J,; one
to Jno. H. Minning, Toledo, O.; one
to • a party in Guatemala, Central
America; one to Joseph Placet, 716
Case St., Davenport, Iowa; other
fifths to parties in Detroit, Mich. No.
78.786 drew the Third Capital Prize ol
$10,000, also sold in fifths at one dollar
each—one-fifth to Miss Annie Burke,
of Washington City, D. C.; one to
Christ Haase, of Washburn, Ills.; one
to Miss Mue.ler, No. 396 Division

l*® 6 memorable as 1 a year!of
“striked” and “boycotts,” and for the
advetTf 'or ■ riots in America' Between
capital and labor.- ’ 1
WWiirWhoceil as the’ jirst y^ai
itt thirty that the country witnessed
Democratic inauguration and had £
great discussion upon the rights of the
President as regards his executive
powers, and tipon the policy of civil
service reform, wherein the President
sought to ran the party with Republi
can officers, and the Democrats re
belled, as they regarded themselves
entitled to the positions of honor and
trust and reward.
6. The year will be memorable for
the part Cupid played at tiie White
House, forcing the President to vacate
the Executive chair and appear a
loyal subject before Hymen, who com
manded him to chose an official In
sympathy with his aims and object so
that his household would be of one
faith, and not divided against itself.
7. It will be remembered, because
of the untimely death of Vice-Presi
dent Hendricks, and of the wise pro
vision made by Congress to fill such
vacancies.
8. It will be memorable in agricul
tural cirdes ou account of the “bad
start” and gloomy crop prospeot in
the spring, and for the fact that under
the new Democratic dynasty no legis
lation looked to the protection of the
agricultural laborer, but legislation,
like under Republican rule, considered
only the interests Of those in the “in
dustries*”
9. It will be memorable for the visits
of “Miss Roseola,” who invented a
hybrid disease somewhere between
scarlet fever and old time measles, and
forced the people to take for gift by
county rights, even disposing of her
diabolical mixture without price.
TO. It will be especially memorable
on account ot the visit of ex-President
Davis, the old Chief of the Confedera
cy, to his people, and his wonderful
march through Mississippi along a
path strewn with flowers and amid the
shouts of welcome from hearts fall of
love. Wonderful march to the sea—
from Beauvoir to Montgomery, from
Montgomery to Atlanta, from Atlanta
to Savannah, from Savannah to Al
bany, from Albany to Eutaula, and
thence back home. And yet no harm
done—no houses burnt, no homes de
stroyed. A march of love and peace
and quiet—no disturbance breaks the
stillness of the air but shouts from lov
ing hearts. Memorable because no
words of hfite was uttered against his
enemies, bnt the great principles of
State sovereignty and community in
terests were set forth for the contem
plation of Northern minds which were
drifting away from constitutional
methods of government. Memorable,
too, thattLe “Child of the Confedera
cy” was shown us as a type of South
ern womanhood, and as a blessing
given by Providence to be the stay
and comfort *»f a fallen chief.
11. It will be remembered as the
year of laying the corner stone of the
Confederate monument in Montgome
ry—for unveiling the statue of Ben
Hill in Atlauta, and for the wonderful
address of Black who pictured to the
multitude Ben Hill “the faithful” at.d
those who were “unfaithful” and
wanting in the dark days of recon
struction. It will memorable for the
great festival of the Chatham Artillery,
celebrating their centennial in May at
Camp Washington near Savannah at
which thousands gathered to witness
the competitive drills and to which
Jefferson Davis went to pay liis respects
to the renowned Chathams.
12. It will be memorable for the
great evangelical work performed by
Sam Jones and Sam Small, and for tbe
great advance of prohibition princi
ples against the liquor trafic.
13. It will be memorable in Georgia
politics as the year that Hon. A. O
Bacon defeated Gen. Jno. B. Gordon,
one of tbe most illustrious of the tri
umvirate, in the race for Governor. It
will mark the era of a return to busi
ness and business methods in.official
life and mark the decay of military
gush and parade. It will say that in
our form of government there is no
entail of office and that too long a con-
tinnance In office by one set of officials
of the same household, is not beat for
the public welfare.
14. It will be most remarkable f«r
Home Rale in Ireland and more re
markable still the' people of the North
who read Jeff Davis’s speeches wil! see
for the first lime that the South fongiit
for a principle—that principle was
Home Bale—which they will in time
apprehend and comprehend, and the
speeches of Jeff. Davis instead of doing
harm will not inspire the principles of
good government in Northern hearts.
15. 1886 in tbe last place, as tbe
preachers say, will be memorable for
tbe feet that Gen. Gordou after spend-
six years wining and dining
among tbe Yankees came back to
Georgia charging, as if he were John
Sherman, about a “fall ballot and a
fair count,” urging the people to go
into primaries as if j ustice and fairness
had not been the rale of practice
among the Democrats of Georgia in
their mass, meeting and preliminary
e.! ? i» ns.
16. And we close with tiie’wish tiiat
1886 will be memorable in the life of
the News and Advertiser as a mo*t
proeerous one. Evergreen.
