generous gift from a big hearted
man is appreciated bv all the friends
of old Emory.
The kissing of a negro babv in
Florida by Gen. Sherfnan some
time sine^ ha* been the occasion
of considerable comment. So long
us he must, kiss some one we think
it quite appropriate that he should
kiss a negro. What a sweet, fresh,
child-like exhibition and what vio¬
let-scented memories of sweet
mouths he knew in the long ago
must have come to the General as
he stooped to touch the nectared
lips of the dear little darling. Oh !
General thou art a model of purity
and chastity.
HON- JEFFERSON DAVIS.
Mr. Davis is old and feeble ; he
has at best but a few years left to
him. It is not likely that lie will
ever again make a great public
speech. liii- tender tribute to John
Bon, his admonition to the young
men of his country, are probably in¬
tended by him as benediction and
farewell. Soon be, too, will “cross
the river and rest under the shade
of the trees. 41 And when he has
gone to join that nhghtv triumvirate
of heroes, history will record that in
devotion to principle, in courage
born of conviction, in faith in his
people, in love of country, in god¬
like digitv, patience and heroism,
in the hour of misfortune, this land
lias never borne his superior.
THE STATS LIBRARY.
In common with other Southern
State?, during the wa r . Georgia lost
much of her public property. The
State library, then in the old eapitol
at Mi Hedge ville, was at ihe mercy of
friend and foe, and ma .v valuable
volumes were stolen. When Atlan
ta was made capital whit was left
the library was great’ njured tn
hein" removed tojthat city, and su'>
Bequeutly it was again injured by
being improperly cared for. In
1873 that part of if composed of vol¬
umes relating to historical, him;
raihu.Hl, seieuiific and i dscellrn
eons subjects bad almost enfirelv
disappeared, and soon after all
Volumnos exe^pi those relatirg to
law imd government statistics were
sold. How the state owns a library
which is of use to lawyers, b «t of no
use to anybody else.
It is time some action were taken
looking io thr collection of n libra¬
ry which will he something more
than a confused mass of law books,
The General Assembly at the sum
mer session should devise a plan by
which eventually Georgia may have
a library that will be'a credit to
her wealth and culture. As a first
step a librarian should be appoint¬
ed who Possesses wide information
and who has had experience in the
selection and care of books. To
this end a commission, or a board
of trustees, should be elected, wiio
shall have the appointment of the
librarian, and who shall also bo
empowered to see that ho dischar
ges bis duty faithfully. The
board should assist in the selection
of books, and should also have the
custody of an annual appropria¬
tion to be expended upon the care
and increase of the lihrarv.
It may lie urged that the State
cannot ... UJJCO! tl t to . expend y Uionov
lip
oa'a library. The Hon. Potiphar
IVegreen is in great force in the
General assembiv, • ’ and ho is never
#«» Uatmv 1 1 as when voting ® against »
’
the expenditure of money. But
th« right kind of a library would
be of great practical value, and the
members of the General Assembly
"*ho have' tire interests of the State
at heart wilioot hesitate to move
in 5 thb to ^rrr. ^ f 0> “i
re
enough to expend annually books intended a nv>d-j (
sum upon
for the use of all her citizens. The '
jj brary in it8 present condition
would would be be conoid-red consul -lea a a di-race < , „iatc in in
the newest and weakest fetfltc of;
the Union. Let us put a little
money in books.—Morning Ne ws. ;
The Chicago Inter-Ocean says : j
“One thing at least is clear, and 1
that is that the Inter-State Com!
rnerce Commission is not a sine

any definite idea of ivhat the effect
of government interference upon
the matter of transportation would
be. 1 here . opportunity .
is an now
practically testing this, and it is
likely that the Commission is as
wisely selected to apply ‘ legal and
. to
common sense reasoning ques
tions that aiiso as anv men who
could , 7 , be found. r 1 r There rv i has been 1
for so many years such a pressure
for Congress to take a hand in the
railroad problem, tltat it is inter
estmg to note how the various
classes will regard the working of
the attempt in that direction. No
one should pre-judge or hastily
judge. Give the law a fair trial.”
This is a generous release of the
men who put the bill through, hut
on the mind of the great public
still rests the fa^t that Congress
passed a measure revolutionary
from a business point of view, and
that only the prompt action of
boavdsof trade all over the coun¬
try and the greatest possible con¬
servatism on the part of the com¬
missioners kept it from demoral¬
izing the whole railroad interests,
which at last are held by private
investors. The South has no cause
to feel proud of her share in
work, which, even though it
