spoke the sentiments of the people of
the whole State.
But it is evident that prohibition is
not to have a fair trial in the Gate City.
A sentiment is being worked up to turn
the tide against it.
On the very day tliat Mr. LaHatte
was applauded in one meeting for ex
pressing his pride in Atlanta as a pro
hibition city, another meeting was held.
This meeting was held under the aus
pices of a new Atlanta organization
called by the seductive name, “T%e
Citizens* Conservative Association oi
Fulton County.’*
The great object of the meeting, li
the proceedings show, was in a modi
fied form to restore the whisky era in
Atlauta. The speeches of all the con
servative orators laid all the blame oi
Atlanta's temporary stagnation on
prohibition: One speech compared it
to the tower of Babel, that brought no
good, but confusion and ruin. An
other orator declared the city was “aw
fully sick, though not dead.” He
represented real estate depreciated,
houses for rent, the town painted red
with real estate cards, and things not
lovely and the goose hanging low.
The remedy suggested was the modifi
cation of the local option law.
That influential journal, the Consti
tution, has turned its batteries of ridi
cule upon the prohibition trial, it
takes the use of tea, and declares “the
prohibitionists can have no success until
they band themselves together to sup
press the tea drinking habit.’*
But is.it true that all of Atlanta’s
present stagnation is due to prohibi-
bition? Has it been on trial long
enough to have stopped the wheels of
progress in the city t To admit this is
to say that Atlanta trusted to her bai-
rooins for her ultimate success.
Docs prohibition prevent Atlanta
from bidding for the school of tech
nology? Only a few days ago Bir
mingham voted $50,000 to secure the
location of a college. Atlanta let the
Georgia Mill land escape her. Did
prohibition do that?
It is curious to tnose distant from
Atlanta to read speeches on “conserv
atism” from Atlanta’s political ora
tors. Had Atlanta cared more for the
conservatism of the people, and paid
more attention to schemes lookiug to
wards her own solid advancement and
given less thought to devices "for po
litical domination mid central coutfol,
she would now, perhaps, have be^n
spared the humiliating coufcssion that
her trade Is decreasing, that her peo
ple are distressed, her citizens divided,
her houses and homes painted red with
real estate cards, that she, though not
dead, is awfully sick, and that the
only chance for recovery is to call in a
family physician who understands the
family idlosyncracies and hereditary
tendencies, who would not refuse to
look.at her tongue and say she Isn’t
sick, but who would face the facts and
say: “Give the old lady her accustom
ed number of drinks, and she’ll he all
right; she is suffering from a nervous
disorder now.”
Money may collect in the great
ters and be offered at low rates, but its
scarcity in one locality Is aggravated
by an absence ot marketable products,
or a want of satisfactory securities
upon which to predicate a loan. The
present baukiug' system of the United
States is most admirably adapted to the
conditio...- of our inter-State commerce,
and aflbr s absolute security to the

lu 1S43 about 180 banks suspended
payment, and in 1857, we believe,
every bank in the United States stop

realized ultimately a fair per cent.
But we want a circulating medium
that affords immediate relief. It is well
to consider thoughtfully this question
of currency, since the retirement of tin*
United States Bonds upon which the
National Bank bills are issued will re
sult in a contraction of paper currency
that must seriously hamper the busi
ness of tbe whole country. If State
Banks can be made to offer protection
absolute aud immediate to holders ol
their bills, then it would be well to
place no embargo upon them, aud to
secure the repeal of the ten per ceut.

Why did uot the mob allow the law

hanging of Moore by the tnob was say

two growing Republics into a bloody
war. The conservatism of the Depart
ment of State is in keeping with the
cautious Christian character of the age,
and represents the peace policy of a

the right rather than a conquest. A

individual member of tliat collective

In medieval days, when the aggres
sive spirit of war and territorial acqui
sition dominated all ••ountries, nations
went to war with but slight pretext for
hostilities because of their “roving,
colonizing spirit.” Napoleon, thefire-
brauil of Europe, destroyed the peace
of a continent for the purpose of eradi
cating internal disorders peculiar to
France. JS.nce, human nature has
been softened by the refining influ-
enees'of a brighter Christian civiliza
tion, and more peaceful methods are
pursued in conformity to more humane
international Uws.
The popular voice of this grand
army of workers that possess our fair

upon the subject of the majority rule
in tiie Congressional convention as it
appeared in tbe columns of this paper,
and If our con temporary will take time
to read it he will And it is very differ
ent front the one credited to us in com
pany with the Dawson Journal:
Two or three of the paper* in the Second

It will not be denied that at least
“two or three papers,” the Free Press
among them, have claimed since it be
came known that Mr. Turner would
have a majority vote, that his nomin
ation was assured. These claims, we
thought, indicated, as stated aliove,
that the friends of Mr. Turner would
favor the majority riile.

well say that the Free Press, Mr. Tur

Parsons, the Chicago Auarchist, in
giving bis testimony before the court
in the recent trial of Anarchists in that

who drank because they were poor.
This is .an illogical conclusion. The
cause is confounded with the effect.
Whisky don’t necessarily make men
poor, but if a poor man driiiks', it is
generally sure to keep him in poverty

sumes what he makes. The time lost
iu drinking and in its effects, must
make a serious drain on w orkiug hours.

that contiuued drinking inevitably

Henry W. Gradt, talking to the

These views are expressed by tbe De

Georgians think, where seventy-five

This Indiana convention, presided
over by Dan Vorhees, was a represen

ly said of it that its members were

This organization was started for tiie
purpose of protecting labor from un
just oppression by capital. If its at
tention had been confined to such iso
lated cases of oppression as existed,then
it would have accomplished great
good, aud met with the approval of all
classes. But avarice, envy and covet
ousness have been seeds sown by desig
ning leaders, and (they have borne a
crop of idleuess, hatred and crime.
Chicago, w ith her recent horrors,
should be a sufficient warning to com

ing leaders are seeking for purposes
perfectly apparent to all, to extend this
organization to agricultural districts.
Already Arkansas has been troubled
with the introduction of the friction,
strife and contention that follow in the
wake of the spirit that such organiza

The only reason agricultural dis
tricts are invaded is to increase tiie

There was an effort to repeal this

The law is most proscriptive against
all who took any part iu our war,

slowly but steadily, and the people
will grow richer and richer. The sun
is well up in a brighter aud better d:iv

early deliverance is dependent upon

caustic articles from Dr. Hawthorne on
the oue hand, in the Conjlict, a new
teui|K>rauce paper, and Councilman
E. A. Angier, in au iutervfew by the
Atlauta Constitution, are exciting gen
eral interest. Both appear ill-temper
ed to one removed from the scene of
conflict. The Prohibitionists of At
lanta are iu position to exendse the
utmost good-nature in firmly main
taining their ground. Extreme meas
ures are calculated to undo the great
work accomplished in their recent victo
ry. Tbe heavy tines imposed by Record
er Anderson were excess! ve, and tbe
extenuatiug circumstance justified the
council iu asking the interposition of
Executive clemency.
The Northern papers speak more
kindly ot tiie South than formerly. It
is true tliat Northern capital is seeking
investment in the Southern States.
Tiie iron trade lias especially received
the attention of Northern capitalists.
Pennsylvania is bound to suffer from
the competition of Alabama, Georgia
and Tennessee. The South holds out
tiie greatest inducements to small
farmers who live on their own farms.
Lands are cheap and the climate gen
ial, hut, so tar, capital has sought
luvestmeut mostly iu the industries.
Scarcely have the mourners re
turned from the grav« of the late Sam
uel J. Tilden, when the fact is made
kuown that his will is to be contested.
The estate is valued at $5,000,000.
There is a provision in the will that
any one of the beneficiaries who con
tests in the courts shall forfeit his or
her entire share if the will is sustained,
neverthless it is announced that
George A. Tilden, a nephew of the de
ceased, is going to risk his share.
It now appears tliat editor Gutting
preferred to remain in jail though bail
was offered him. He thought his
claim for indemnity would be lost it
he accepted bail. Cutting, too, it
seems, ha* an eye oil “the boodle.”
The killing of Arrcseures bv the Mex
icans was far more atrocious Chan the
Cutting case. Hoffstettler was the ex
tradition agent of Texas who foolishly
signed the extradition {tapers on the
unsupported statement of a Mexican
officer. As soon as Arreseurs was
lauded iu a Mexican prison he was
taken out at midnight by a band ot
and that is enough, cut-throats aud murdered.
Washington, August 13.—It is as
serted at tbe State Department tliat
there are no fresh developments in the
Cutting case and that the attitude of
this government has uot changed in auy
respect.
This case Is t:ie fruit of natural Iric-
tiou of antagonism between systems
of government of two peoples who dif
fer radically in character aud customs.
The position we have taken is based
upon the assumption that-all material
facts aud legal features of the case are
as they have been set forth in the cor
respondence and reports already made
public; but in the matter involving
possible warfare, it is held to be incum
bent upon us to make sure that there Is
notiling of Importance beyond official
information already iu hand, aud te
this end the bestefiorts of the depart
ment are turned.
The foundation once firmly laid, tiie
decision will have to be made, whether
the differences found to exist shall be
recoucilliated through further effort of
diplomacy or by war; but in no eveut
will tins government assent to the
doctrine that an American can be ar
rested, tried, aud puuished, abroad for
au offense committed within our do
main.

A NEW FIRM AT AN OLD STAND.
A few worth to the farmers of this section is, we deem, necessary from ns at this time, and
as the season draws nigh we will have mote to say upon this subject. We have leased the old
Sims-Bust Warehouse, lately occupied by Wight, Davis ft Co., and propose doing a
STIKICTL* WAREHOUSE BUSINESS A warehouse where every planter con-
trolls his own cotton, either selling the same himself, or having it sold by us, FREE OF
CIIA RGE, having only to pay for weighing and storage after first month. Our business
will be in the strictest sense or the term, WAREHOUSEMEN, and we will have no “side
tes” to conflict In any way with the faithful discharge of the same. Oar aim will be to
serve the Planter to the very best of our ability, making every “edge cut” where we can so as
to serve him economically with “Live and Let Live” ever In view.
In conclusion we invite a trial, feeling assured that we will please yon, one and all.
