The mini-tors of 'tl t/a Mv-*
recently heen irterropated ns *0 tlieir
idea-' of hell by a Constitution re
porter. It seems to u- that the re
porter should hare been tohl to £0
to the "devil ’ for his information.
If Cov, Co'rptitt h >s dee' Vd not to
eall an ex ir sea.-ion of the I.etrishiture
he has made a great mistake. Our
best business men —and they repre
sent the best intelleet in the State —
are of the opinion that the machinery
of the new constitrrtii n should be put
in working order at oneo.
Anions the ranios suggested for
Speaker in our next General Assembly
we notice that of linn. P. L. Mvnatt,
a representative elect from Fulton
county. Col. Mvnatt is one of our
ablest lawyers, ;i|ii bis corse in the
late constitutional convention afforded
ample proof, if any was needed of h s
sound judgment, ripe attainments and
abili'v as a parliamentarian. He
would fil' the Speaker’s chair in a
mnvner that would la* highly gratify
ing to a'l who appreciate the impor
tance of dignity’. firmness and system
in the difficult task of presiding over
a leg is ative body.
HELL
M’. Deed er and a prominent Eng
li h preacher have recently come to
the front with the dec’aration that
I ere is no hell, and tnat tliero is no
s''eh thing as endless puivisliment.
There is nothing new or striking in
this, but the av< wd of such opinions
from the pulpit Las very naturally
created quite a stir. \Ye regret that
suc h a subject should be presented for
di-oussion. AVe may talk about it
till the end of time without any defi
nite result. And (lore is another
grave idea that suggests itself in this
connection —it the world is reason 'd
into the belief that there is i o hell,
how iti the thunder is a country editor
go ng to collect hi- sul scriptions ?
Now that Jtdge McCalla has
stepped diwn and out wf journalism
we feel it due liim lo say that ho
held his own remarkably well, when
‘he fact. is consider'd that he was all
the time engaged in praet job p law,
and had very little leisure left f>r edi
torial work. With the exception of a
few little things that were in rather
bad taste, we have no fault to find
with llrother Mae. and we cordially
wish bun well
THK OLD AND THE NEW
We have no set tin.ental adieus
for the old tear, We arc glad to
finish one of of the blackest chap
t<rs in our national history, nd turn
with a feeling of relief to the as yet
ur.sul’id dagee of anew eta. The
record oi the old year tmbraccd little
hut fraud and corruption, murder,
suicide and starvation, riots and
wars, bad government at bf me, and
everj \vl ere an unsettled , dscordant
state of thii gs in religion, society,
) clitics and business,
w e are glad, then, to ring out the
Old and ring in tho New, It may
be that tl> trial* and disasters of
the rast will have a salutary effect
upon our future. It behooves us all
therefore,
“To be up and doing,
\ \\ itb a heart for any fate-
Lea*n to labor and to wait,”
