It far when he said: “My sou, when

Some of our exchanges are calling
upon the people to require candidates
for the Legislature to define tbei«* posi
tions on local and State issues. What’s
the use? Gen. Gordon says It will be
a “Gordon” Legislature, whatever that
means. .

book, to General Gordon as a “na

The campaign waxes warmer,
few’ days since Dr. Felton and Colonel
Glenn had a big speech-making. Glenn
opened—Felton fol.owed, and Glenn
concluded. The Constitution pours hot
shot into Dr. Felton for wantiug to
take the train and not reraaiu to hear
Glenn. Yet this is exactly w’hat Gen.
Gordon did at Leesburg, and Gordon’s
friends never rebuked him for it.
Mr. Dupont Guerby has been
speaking up in Newnan. He repeated
his same Americus speech, and repeated
tiiose charges against Bacon as to his
being opposed to the passage of the
bill creating the Railroad Commission.
Hon. Louis Gerrard pointed out to Mr.
Guerry where be failed to examine
correctly the journal of the House.
But Mr. Guerry continued to misrep
resent Bacon.
The llawkinsville Dispatch thinks
the State or somebody Is in danger.
That habit the General has of “com
mitting” the boys, which is simply
borrowed from old-time revival cus
toms, the Dispatch construes thus:
“Whenever General Gordon gets a
house full of people, and speaks awhile,
he asks them to hold up their bands.
We don’t know where he learned this
eu.iOm, but out West when a man
asks a crowd to hold up Its hands the
crowd knows that lie means to go

The change cf gauge of over 13,000
.dies of the Southern railroads, mak
ing the gauge throughout the country
practically uniform, was a most won
derful feat. This was a great civil
victory. It required plan, forethought,
system, energy, and rare executive
ability. Its accomplishment, almost
1 n a moment, so as to otter the least
possible interruption to travel, was a
bight compliment to organized effort.

people and the roads warranted the

The Constitution defends Mr. Cal
houn for going into Oconee to work for
Cordon. It may be true that he went
as Bill Tutt goes for Bacon, “without
money,” and simply to present Issues
in a public speech. But even the Con
stitution has never denied that Mr.
O’Brien carried “money” to Mitchell:
On that point the Camilla Clarion says:
“Mr. O’Brien reported to the Gordon
men as soon as he arrived, and told
them he- was sent out by the Gordon
club of Atlanta, that he came to aid
them In carrying the election and had
brought money for that purpose.”
This same O’Brien was asked by the
people to leave Dawson; as they would
not couuteuance the Atlanta interfer

THUS WE DRIFT.
A Review of the Situation.
Newnan Advertiser.
To the political student the move
ment of men present a varied but mel
ancholy picture. He turns with fond
and pleasing delight to the early strag
gle* of bis ancestors, and traces with
mingled emotions of joy and sorrow
the. many'achievements won In the
world’s strife. He reads with thrilling
sensations the life and speeches of such
serene and pure statesman as Patrick
Henry, Randolph, Clay, Hancock,
Adams and Jay. Their deeds, virtues
and patriotic sentiments are sweet
savor to hissoal, and be treasures
them with all the tender recollections
of bis country’s history. His heart
swells with joyons pride when looking
back over a century, and beholds them
standing all the while at the solemn
bar of the serene equity within them.
Bat grand and touching as these hal
lowed associations are, he cannot fall to
turn with sad reluctancy from that
giorious and sublime picture to gaze
with tearful eyes and saddened heart
upon the present aspect of affairs. The
former Is a bright, dazzling and ma
jestic scene, where a young country,
animated by high hopes, firm resolves,
dauntless courage, purity of heart
and unity of action is straggling for i
position with the nations of the earth,
while the latter is engaged in corrupt
ing the morals of the people, sowing
seeds of dissension and destroying the
last gleams of onr departing glory. It
fra grand sight to watch the birth and
growth of a young nations; see her rise
with all the grandeur of a morning
sun, dispel the mist aud gloom that
hung over her young form and .walk
with majestic mein through the fleecy
clouds of despondency until she reaches
the meridian of her splendor. But
how pathetic to trace her decline, her
institutions tottering beneath the un
holy tread of the usurper, her honor
impugned, her fair fame blasted, her
purity buried in the slime of slander,
and* at last, like Carthage of old, she
sinks out of sight while her ruins be
come the home of ow ls, bats and ver
min.
We need not only a Moses to lead us
out from under the bondage of this oli
garchy that hangs like a poisonous
miasm over our young State, but we
need also an Ezekiel whose burning;
anathemas and fiery eloquence woult
penetrate the hearts of the people like
the electric bolts penetrate the remote
corners of the earth. Our whole body
politic is poisoned with the corrupt
blood of an imbecile and luxuriaut
class of parasites who feed upon the
life-blood of, the people. Our Stale
and National governments are passing

The Sparta Ishmaeliteat some
length, takes the trouble to teach the
News and Advertiser the difference
between “prftof” and “evidence.” We
are not too old to learn; and in tbe
ability to discriminate and draw sub
tle distinctions, we gracefully ac
knowledge the expertness of the
Ishmaelite. When it is said “the
result of the election in Hancock:
proves so and so,” it is indeed a nice
criticism to say It should have read,
“the result of the election iu Hancock
gave evidence of so and so.” The word
“proves” iu the above Is used in the
sense of “shows,” “eviuces, etc.” But
we never used the words at all. Here
is our short paragraph:
Hancock county, it seems, did not consider
l-acon "evsdw’ ou the railroad question.
We always, felt that the IshmueUie misappre
hended him.
It seems that Col. P. L. Mynatt, of
Atlanta, warns to ride iiito Cong res on
a sort of iuter-State commerce hobby.
Judge’ Woods very distinctly gave tbe
railroad commission to understand
that they cohld not interfere with
iuter-State commerce. Such a furor
has been raised over railroads as “prof
itable servants” of the people that it
is an opportune time for the Colonel to
trust his political barque to the waters.
That sort of talent, that pains-taking,
investigating faculty which character
izes Hon. Nat Hammond, and which
has Won for him such a respect in Con
gress, is somewhat at a discount just
now in Georgia. Hammond is too
much of a student and lawyer and has
too little dash and show to fill “the
measure of the public eye” iu its pres
ent excited and diseased state of mind.
The AtUaU Journal expresses itself as

making the rich richer and the poor
poorer. Religions is made the cloak to
cover the misdeeds of men in high
places. The whole country seems to
be drunk with vice and run mad with
slauder.
If age brings with it no wisdom and
experience no discretion what can we
hope from the young men of our coun
try ? Can we purify the stream when
the fouutain is impure?
We lament the drift of our age and
tremble for the fate of Georgia. Like
the scarlet woman of Babylon we are
wearing a badge of lost innocence.
Truth, virtue and justice are dethron
ed, while vice and corruption are hold
ing high carnival iu their desecrated
halls. Every department of our society
is tainted with the corrupting influ
ences that go out from men in high
places, and our ship of State is lashed
to fury by the wild waves of a sea of
corruption. Men of wealth ride into
power upon the ruins oi the poor and
helpless. Every principal that should
animate the bosoms of our public men
are trampled under foot, while satan
rides his white steed through our fair
land and strews Ins pathway with
misery and woe.
“But Providence moves in a mysterious way,
Hia wonders to perform;
He plants nis footsteps upon the sea,
Ana rides upon the storm.” *
Evil may gel the ascendency for a
time but good will eventually assert
her power. These things will be ad
justed by the divine will. The good
people, irrespective of parties, will rise
in their might sooner or later and tear
down the temple reared by avarice and
revivify the spirit of their fathers. Let
us lias ten the day.

AS LlRGE AS TOUR HEAD.
Tbe Kind of Hailstone* They Have
Out in Texas.
Galveton, Texas, June 21.—Spe
cials to tbe News from Elgin, Monor
and Paige, on the line of the Austin
branch of the Houston and Texas Cen
tral railway, state that those places
and surrounding neighborhoods were
visited yesterday evening by a heavy
storm, inflicting great damage. At
Elgin a thunder, rain aud hail stonn
swept over that vicinity, deluging a
portion of the town. Nearly' every
building in the place had windows
broken and holes knocked in the roofs.
Hall fell varying in size from a marble
to man*8 head, perforating iron and tin
roofs like seine nets, 4 a piece of hall
stone being picked up that actually
weighed seven pounds. The Metho
dist church was blown from its foun
dation and demolished. The Baptist
church was moved slightly out of line
and the windows in the north side
were wrecked. One man was struck
dow n by a hail stone and seriously in
jured.
At Manor the storm did indescriba
ble damage to tbe crops, hail stones
falling as large as. hens’ eggs. Three
churches and many other buildings
were badly damaged.
At Mexia, on the main line of the
Houston and Texas Central raihvay,
in Limestone county, the storm struck
that place about 6 o’clock, wrecking
oue church, several small houses, un
roofing others, and; badly Injured the
corn crop. No lives were lost, the
people hastily seeeking ' shelter in
storm houses when tue .gale ap
proached. .
Building a Name.
Detroit Free Press.
“A great name Is the condeused es
sence of years of toil. It represents hard
work in a garret—days of hunger per
haps and hours of utter despair. All
through years of unrecognition the
artist has to : led on. At some period
there comes the turning point. Perhaps
the exhausted frame gives way and
the unknow n toller sinks into a name
less grave, perhaps he strikes a picture
commands the attention of the world.
When the change comes it is like the
wave of a magician’s wand. Pictures
that the artist could not get a dinner
on are eagerly sought for
by the dealers. Wealthy sitters offer
anything fora portrait, and his brother
artists still at the bottom of the ladder
gaze up aud say, “Look at that fel
low. He can’t paint, yet everybody
is running after him,” the public
thinks what a lucky dog he is, and our
abused friend, the millionaire, bays
his paintings. “One hundred dollars
for a single operation like that,” cried
the patient. “Oh, no,” answered the
surgeon, “$10 for the single operation
aud $90 for the years I have spent in
learning how to make it a simple and
successful operation rather than a
complex and uncertain one.”
A doable boose was moved away
from Powell street, near North Beach,
this week, about which an old-timer
told nje a true and interesting story,
rare because an illustration of that
rarest quality in humanity—^sincere
and disinterested gratitude. Two
young men 'from New York State,
who had been to school together, came
to San Francisco early in the “fifties.”
I will call them Black and Gray, good
enough names for tbe purpose of the
story. Black went to tbe mines, and
Gray remained in tbe city, and with
small sum fitted out a little store. He
prospered, married, had children.
Then came a big reverse. He found
himself in a tight place, from which
nothing but $15,000 would extricate
him. He went among bis friends to
raise the money, bat they had none to
give him. And then, as he turned a
street corner sharply, he ran into
Black’s arm3. He told him his trou
ble, and gave him all bis history dur
ing the ten years they bad been sepa
rated.
“I have the money,” said Black;
“but $15,000 just sizes my pile. I am
tired of mining, and hoped to settle
down here and get Into some business,
but you can have it, my dear fellow,
and I’ll take a whack at pick and
rocker again.”
Gray took the money, and Black re
turned to tbe mountains. In tbe
course of that year the merchant made
a lucky turn and sent tbe miner his
money with ample interest. Then
they ceased to correspond, and the last
the merchant heard of his friend was
that be, too, was about to marry and
move into a new mining district.
Five years afterwards the miner and
his family returned to San Francisco.
Black was dead broke. Everything
had gone wrong with him. His min
ing speculations bad failed; the mines
he bad discovered petered out; the
men he had trusted deceived biin, and
he had about fifty dollars remaining of
a once ample fortune. He hunted up
bis friend Gray, who was, of course,
delighted to see him. “And I don’t
see anything for me to do, old man,’
said the despondent miner, “except to
get a job shoveling sand, if you can
lelp me to one.”
“I have just moved into a handsome
house on Powell street,” said Black,
“and I want you to come and dine
with me to-morrow ‘ evening. It is a
double house, finished about a week
ago.”
The miner was on time with his
shabbily, dressed wife and little ones.
“You did well sticking to the town,”
he remarked to his old schoolfellow’.
Here you are w’ay up as a merchant,
living in a fine house all yonr own,
and having a bank account as long as
my arm, 1 suppose.” Before dinner
they visited the adjoining house, which
was furni.-hed in precisely the same
style as the merchant’s dwelling. Then
they sat dowu, chatted over old times
until the lateness of the hour warned
the miner and his wife that it was time
to return to their lodging house.
“All right, my boy,” said Gray,
but just step nextdoor, there is some-
tiling I wish to show you which I neg
lected on our first visit.” When they
entered the hall Black halted. “Here,”
he said, “that looks kind of like my
trunk.”
“Nonsense,” said Gray, “come up
stairs to this bed room.”
“Why said the miner, looking about
him, “confound you, you have moved
all my traps up here from that lodg
ing-house.”
“Aye, have I, my friend,” shouted
the other, slapping him on the shoul
der. “Where should a man keep his
things but in his own house, and in
what part of the house better than his
ow’n bed room?” Black was bewil
dered, and begun to have doubts of
his friend’s sanity, and w’hen bis friend
thrust a deed of this very house into his
hand, aud followed it with a deed of co
partnership in his business, lie broke
down and cried like a child.
“And now we are moving away this
old house, sir, to another quarter,”
said the narrator of this remarkable tale
of gratitude and friendship, “but 1
would not take a hundred thousand
dollars for it.” It was Black himself
who told me the story* now a most
successful merchant, whose name is
good on ’change for close upon half a
million.

Atlanta Constitution.
Our lively little contemporary, the
Albany News and Advertiser, has
bat one serious trouble in this world,
and that is the Constitution's anti-free
trade position. It weeps over
wrestles with us, and even goes so far

columns.

that we are always ready to lift it over
