which cooveys a distinct Idea of the
Christian influences that are operative
in our midst. The leavening princi
ple of the Christian life was never
more forcibly and practically dei
atraled than by the gradual and radi
col change effected on the mass of our
society. The standard of public taste
low been perceptibly elevated, and
religions tone prevails, while Christian
sympathy and love like luminousethei
pervades the entire community.
The South to particularly pure iu ir
religious character; the iutfueuce of
foreigu infidelity lias never poisoned
the atmosphere of our communities or

influence, disrupting the strong tle-
of sacred domestic relations. From
the private altars of Southern home-
proceeds a stream of religious influ
ence pure and ennobling. These al
tars afford iu this day and generation
as sure a retreat from the tern pa lion
and scoff? of the world as those of tin*
sanctuaries from bodily harm, during
the dark ages, when an Irrational awe
possessed the superstitious Inhabitants,
This arises from the general respect
everywhere manifested toward religion
and Uie religious, as If; by common
consent, everybody gave recognition
of wbat Christianity had done for the
world; and this respectful attitude to
wards it to a public acknowledgement
of tbe debt of gratitude due it.

notes the refining and elevating effect

what the sum of human happiues?,

wheu she alone rode amidst darkness

Onr Penitentiary System.
It lias become quite evidentsince the
reassembling of the Legislature that
an unusual amount of thunder, bun
combe and serio-sentiincntal clap-tra|i
are to be expended on the penitentiary
lease system of the State during the
present session or our law-makers.
The system has stood as au inviting .tar
get for the “reform*’ politicians ever
since It has been'In existence, but It
lias stood their fire, so far, remarkably
well. Tills time, however, it appears
that some big guns are leveled on it,
and au unusually large fuellade may
be expected.
That the present penitentiary sys
tem has been abused at different times
nd by different lessees of the State's
convicts cannot be denied; but tills to
not due to any fault of tbe system
itself. The State has been peculiarly
unfortunate iu some of the appoint
ments in connection with the system
aud in having convicts sub-leased and
made subjects of bargain and sale by
tiie origi al lessees. Under such con
ditions the system lias been abused tu
some instances despite the safeguards
the Legislature has endeavored to
throw around it.
But none of this to tiie fault of tiie
system itself. The trouble witli tiie
Legislature lias been that it lias blamed
the system for abuses that have been
imposed upon It by officials and les
sees, instead of try ing to deal with
these officers aud lessees aud tiie evils
for which they have been seriousiy
and directly resjamsible.
It will be a difficult, matter to im
prove upon tiie lease system as It now
stands, in the interest of humanity or
to satisfy sentimentalists, without in
volving the State in heavy expense for
the support and “confinement at hard
labor" of its large and constantly in
creasing number of convicts. Despite
all the evils and abuses of our Geor
gia system that can be coiiiplaiued of,
comparison with the mortuary reports
of the penitentiaries of oilier States will
show that the death rate among our
convicts falls far below the average.
Tmb newspaper readers of the coun

fact that the excommunication of Dr.

whether he to to be excommunicated

mal notice of tiie excommunication of
this priest politician has been served
upon him, and notice of this fact
waa given In the Catholic churche?
of the diocese last Sunday.

lx dealing with tiie State road ques
tion, whether the plan adopted should
be to lense the property again, or to
sell ir, the Legislature should not lose
sight of the fact that the State to bound
by a contract. In other words, it
should be remembered at every stage
of the proceeding that there to a»on-
tract to which the State is one of the
principal parties, the lessees being the
other. Having entered into a contract
which does not appear, so far,to have
been a bad or unprofitable one for tiie
State—tiie State*? representatives
should be willing to settle by Its terms
with tiie lessees. The fast that the
road .lelongs to tiie State and that the
State i? to be affected by the inevitable
kettlenieut between principals should
not justify the Legislature In taking
any undue advantage of the lessees
simply because It may have it in its
power to do so. Tiie pnqiositiou of
Senator ltrowu, representing tiie les
sees, to have the Governor appoint a
commission to make a settlement lie-
tween tiie State and the lesses
appears to be fair. I? tills

The Annual Fire Loss.
Tiie Louisville Courier-Journal gives
some figures oil fire losses and insur
ance that are interesting. In New
York, during the 4th of July, sixty
fire? were the result of lira-w’orks and
fire-crackers, and in Boston, ou the
same day, the alarms numbered twen
ty-six. In New York one fire was
very destructive, and tiie aggregate
lo*s In each city was large. It is not
difficult to belive that the Americans
have, iu their annual celebration of
July 4th since 1776, destroyed proper
ty that would exceed in value tiie en
tire cost of tiie war for independence.
Tt»e annual loss by fire Is now appall
ing. For year? it has exceeded one
hundred millions. 'Hie loss for the
first six months of 1887 lias been tie*
largest in onr history. The loss lor
June exceeds ten million?. This to a
matter that demands Atteiitru. In
surance dees not make good the loss;
it merely distributes it among a large
number of persons. What we need lo
do to to adopt measures which will
lessen the loss. Much of it I? due lo
carelessness, much to incendiarism,
much to fraudulent insurance, much
to bad building, in addition to tiie
loss by fire, we must consider the ex
pense of conducting our insurance
companies and the expense of main
taining our fire department, as charge
able to lire waste In the aggregate
the three Items would probably amount
to $175,000,000. which is $50,000,000
more than the Interest on the public

Am to the State Road Betterments.
In view of the fact that Senator
Brown ha- put tiie Governor aud ,tbe
legislature on notice that the lessee?
of tiie Suite Road will make a lieavy
claim against the State for better
ments, at the expiration of the lease,
a letter written by tiie same distin
guished gentleman, a? president of tiie
lease company, to Col. W. B. Farrar,
of Dalton, iu the early part of lad
year, become? of special interest.
It will lie remembered that the pas
senger depot at Dalton was destroyed
by tire in February, 1886, when a pro
test wa? made by the people of that
city, through Col. Farrar, against Its
being replaced with a cheap structure.
It was this protest that called forth the
letter from Senator Brown which now
liecomes of *|>ccial interest in connec
tion witli the question of betterments.
The News and Advertiser thought
of this letter a? soon as tiie Brown
open letter to the Governor came out.
but could not flud it in either scrap-
liook or files; hut the Atlanta Journal
came to hand yc-terday witli tiie fol
lowing extracts from it:
Some idea of the magnitude of the
present operations or the pension bu
reau may lie drawn from the fact that
the mall of letters received at the bu
reau and set t out from it averages
more Ilian 12.000 a ’day. Tiie total
number of pension certificates issued
luring the fi ral year just ended was
112.310, of which 55,104 were original
allowances. Tin I? the largest bnsl-
ie?s ever cleared off tiie desk? in one
war. The arena* nnmbet of clerk?
for tiie year was 1.530. or about 100
than in the la?t year of Mr. Ar

i«rid out for pensions dining tbe year
is not yet fully ascertained, but will
probably exceed $74,000,000.
President Cleveland’? letter gi\-
lug his reasons for not attending the
anuual encampment of the G. A. R.
at St. Louis to a strong and adroitly
written document, it puts t e mem
bers of tiie G. A. K., who have been
denouncing him. on the defensive,
while, at the same time, it disarms
them by its assumption that men who
fought for their country cannot «)>-
prove attacks upon the executive for
trying to do liis duty ill sustaining
law. The declination to delicately
put, and, as the Indianapolis News,
an Independent paper witli Republican
proclivities, well says, “the assertion
that be has been hurt deeply by the
censures of hto conduct will gain sym
pathy for him. People generally will
not take kindly to tiie idea that tiie

The Western an«l Atlantic Railroad Com
pany lia? no guarantee from the State that it

eanuot continue to make improvement?. F*»r

From this It will be seen that Sena
tor Brown’s letter to Col. Farrar in
1886, upon the question of betterments,
to quite iu contrast with Senator
Brown's letter to the Governor, upon
the same subject, iu 1887. An incon
sistency to brought to light that must
necessarily ami inevitably weaken tbe
position taken by the Senator in Itto
letter to the Governor. Discreet ness an a

Mrs." or “Miss" President. “First,
they say, “because there to no need of
designating a presiding officer by a
word w hich denotes her home relation

and not first of all to be classified by
her relations to some man; aud, sec
