The Knights of Labor will find that the great pub lic will not endorse outrage on Jay Gould even. The workingman does himself an in jury when he places his liberty of ac tion in the keeping of other people. The man that can't control his own labor isn t free in fact, whatever he may be in theory. If the design and effect of “protec tion ’ is to insure remunerative wages to labor, why is it that the section of the country abounding in “protected” industries is full of strikers? The the ory that fails so utterly in practice is necessarily a poor theory. — Ishmaelite. If it were possible to estimate accu rately the amount of money that has been paid by the government on fraud ulent pension claims, it would be found, doubtless, to be sufficient to build a first-class navy.

This attack upon him, is equally an assault upon the masses of Southern people who welcome Mr. Davis to meet them to do honor to southern soldiers who lost their lives in the effort to estab lish a southern confederacy. If we deemed it necessary xve could show, that 'yvhen the American confederacy was formed, all the states recognized the right to withdraw from the Union, if they or any of them, should deem it necessary for any reason whatever. The great state of New York, in its convention to ratify the constitution, and become a member of the confed eration of states, expressly adopted a resolution declaring its right to with draw from the confederation if it should deem it necessary for its safety and happiness. So did some other states, and by implication, that right was conceded to all the states. The sovereignty of the states was recogniz ed in Art. 1 on the ratification, by the adoption of that Article which was in these words: “The ratification of the conventions of nine states, shall be sufficient for the establishment of this constitution between the states so ratifying the same.” Thus the sover eignty of the states was fully recog nized by the convention of all the states. This fact, with the reserva tion of the states, or any of them, to withdraw at their pleasure, was a full recognition of the sovereignty of each one. That the Union was founded in a compact between sovereign parties there can be no question whatever, and each of the sovereign parties had a right to withdraw at its will and pleasure, and especially, if the com pact of Union should be broken by the majority of the states. It was broken and the Southern States with drew and formed a Southern Confed eracy of which Mr. Davis was unani mously made the President. The war between the states took place and the southern confederacy was overthrown by force of arms. Under these cir cumstances the people of the North should have the magnanimity to yield to Mr. Davis the right, in visiting Mont gomery, Atlanta, and Savannah, to express his regrets and sorrow in com mon with all the great multitudes of citizens, who met to do honor to the confederate dead, and to do honor to Mr. Davis himself, to defend their ac tion in seeking to withdraw from the Union. We might justify him, and the people he addressed upon the ab solute merits of their cause. But we shall not extend our remarks farther than to say, that recent events, since the war, place the people of the North in a further light of political odium which will go down to future ages to blot their name with a crime which can never be effaced. We allude to the great “fraud” by which Mr. Til- den and Mr. Hendricks were deprived of the high offices of the Presidency and Vice Presidency to which they were fairly elected by the people of the United States. It ill becomes the section which defeated them of those elevated positions by fraud and false hood, to seek to defame ex-President Davis by remorseless vituperation and abuse for expression of sympathy and regret to the people of his section, with no power to attempt to enforce them, old and broken in health, and scarcely able to endure the fatigue and excitements of the occasion which, at the earnest solicitations of his friends and admirers, entice him, per haps, for the last time, to leave the privacy and rest of his distant Missis sippi home, where the love of our peo ple will follow, and abide with him wdiile he lives, and will revere after ward, his memory in the tomb wdiicll shall receive his honored remains. Hk Forgot His Own Name.—That reminds me, said a youngish sort of a newspaper man, that I forgot my name not long ago. I had been out West for several months, and w T as in the habit of calling at the general de livery of the post office for my mail. The clerk who was usually on duty there learned to know me, and I nev er thought of giving my name when I asked for the mail. On this occasion I was expecting a rather important letter, and I found a new clerk on da ty at the window. When I asked for letters he demanded with some sud denness my name. It came on me while my mind was intent on the sub ject of the expected letter, and do you know that I absolutely forgot my own name. I walked off a few feet and stood for several minutes, trying to recall my name. I could not do it. Then it struck me that I was losing my mind, that I was becoming insane ana I dashed out of the building a lit tle wildly. As my foot was on the last step memory came back. My name was clear to me, and I returned and got my letters. pation imtbe highly interesting cere monies. . The Corner Stone of the great uKwmnent was duly laid; the beautiful . ritual was carried out by Grand Master Harris, assisted by the other grand officers and Masons. A great many things were deposited in the vault by Miss Davis and others. We must overlook General John B. Gor- dau’s splendid speech, at the conclu sion of which Mr. Davis took his hand and heartily congratulated him. Next we can only make brief mention of the great proceedings at Atlauta, where forty thousand enthusiastic Georgians were present to look upon Ben Hill’s noble form in marble. Ringing speeches were made in honor of the great Georgian. The demonstration was sublime and has never been sur passed. It was a matchless outpour ing of the people, not only of Georgia, but from many other States. Among those present ■were ex-President Da vis, Governor McDaniel, Mr. Black, of Augusta, Dr. Spalding, Command er W. A. Wright, General Stovall of Augusta, Generals Henderson, Phillips and Longstreet, Col. Shep herd of Columbus and many others too numerous to mention.' Major Slaton of Atlanta, Capt. R. Lester of Gumming and Captain Carson of But ler formed the veterans into column^ of four as they arrived. Major Hill- yer delivered on eloquent speech of w'elcome. Marshal G. R. DeSaussure, aided by a large number of assistant marshals, superintended the march. We cannot describe the masses of vis itors and others or the splendid deco rations of the streets or the inspiring music of the bands. Chief Marshal of the Day, John Milledge was in command of the grand processioil.— The military made a grand display. We are obliged to pass ‘over many striking scene*. Mr. Davis’ carriage approaches containing besides the il lustrious chieftain, Hon. J. C. C. Black, the orator of the day, Dr. R. G. Spald ing, President of the Ben Hill Monu ment Association, and Mr. Henry W. Grady, master of ceremonies. Other carriages followed, among those in them were Gov. McDaniel, Gen’l Cle ment A. Evans, chaplain, the Mayors of Montgomery and Atlanta, Judge Jackson of the Supreme Court, Gen. A. R. Lawton, Hon. Patrick Walsh, Col. Printup of Rome, Hon. J. W. A. 1 Sanford of Alabama and Judge Samp- | son W. Harris of Georgia. The instant the throng beheld the approach of Mr. Davis and his escort, hats were reverently removed and such cheers were given as, in volume and intensity, perhaps, were never heard before. This was caught up everywhere, and, says the Constitu tion, “History does not contain an account of sucli a grand and wonder ful outburst from human throats.” An effort was made by all, even the wo men and the children, to get as near Mr. Davis as possible. We pass over much to say that Mr. Davis’ carriage has reached the plat form, and he was assisted to alight and escorted to his seat on the plat form by Dr. Spalding and Mr. D. M. Bain. “Hurrah for Jeff Davis,” was the almost universal shout. A few minutes later Gen. Evans, Hon. J. C. C. Black, Gov. McDaniel, Mr. H. W. Grady and others arrived and took seats on the stand. Among others on the stand were Mrs. B. H. Hill, Sr., Mrs. J no. B. Gordon, Mr. B. H. Hill, Jr., Dr. Ridley, Dr. Ridley's mother, Mayor Hiilyer of Atlanta, Mayor Reese of Montgomery and others. When the Ex-President’s party reaches the platform, a band struck up “Dixie” which was cheered to the echo and. shouting was renewed.— There was a pressure forward and the great masses wave to and fro like the waves of the ocean. Just back of the canopy but in plain view of the people, stood the [statue of Hill cov- TWIXT MAY AND JUNE.

Washington Letter, From Our Kegular Correspondent. Washington, May 3, 188C. This is the day that the working men of Washington propose that their demand for eight hour rule shall go into effect. One of them said to me: “This is not a strike. The work man will simply discharge himself and leave rather than work ten hours. He will then be an unem plojr ered b Mr, a white veil. by 8 . H. W. Grady after a few beau tiful and touching remarks introduced Gen. Evans whose prayer was deeply impressive upon the hearts of all who could hear it. Next, Dr. Spalding a great friend of Mr. Hill, who was greatly instrumental in the origina tion and execution of the splendid statue. At the signal from Dr. Spald ing, Capt. J. P. Burke removed the veil and the statue of Hill was reveal ed to the great crowd and a shout of applause went up. Mr. Grady then, addressing Dr. Spalding, said these shouts proclaim that the people of Georgia accept your offering to his memory and will cherish it with affec tion, boundless as the admiration of his character. Mr.^Black was then introduced amid applause. We can only glance at this great speech. Mr. Black is one of the finest orators in the State. Mr. Gra- iy, in introducing him to the people, said, the mantle of Ben Hill's elo quence seems to have fallen on nis shoulders. De-lee-ta-lave. Use a tooth-pick made from a quill.

He will be locked out by the employers. What we propose to do,” continued he, “is to go to “work on Monday as usual. We will work eight hours.

We will not prevent other men from working, and there will be no disorder and violence, but we will present a solid, unyielding front.” The Secretary of the Treasury, who has been so near to death’s door for the past month, is at work again. I do not mean that he is well or at his desk. He is only able to sit up and take a drive occasionally. But he in terests himself with affairs at his De partment and discusses business ques tions with such officials as Treasurer Jordan and Assistant Secretary Fair- child. There is no truth in the re port that lie had signified to the Pres ident his intention of retiring from office. On the contrary, it is known that he earnestly desires and fully in tends to remain at the head of the Treasury which he has so ably direct ed for the past year. The apprehen sion of liis friends now is that he will undertake to resume his official duties before he is physically able. I asked a prominent western Repre sentative what he thought of the new Congressional Democratic Campaign Executive Committee. He answered that the selection of Senator Kenna as chairman was a most excellent one. “We had so much faith in the executive ability of Senator Gorman, v continued he, “that he was the choice of most of us, but he has enough to do as chairman of the National Ex ecutive committee, and declined to serve in this capacity. He will aid us in other ways, however, and Sena : tor Kenna is young, active, vigorous, and capable of doing a great deal of hard work.” The West Virginia Sen ator made his mark first in the House of Representatives, where he worked hard and spoke well. His speech on the currency question was one of the text books of the party during the Congressional campaign of 1878, and lie is in sympathy with his party now on nearly every question. It is not creditable to the Republi cans in Congress that it should de volve on a southern member to try to check the waste of public money on pension appropriations. This is a field of reform into .which few Con gressmen care to venture, and the action of a southern man is particu larly liable to misconstruction, in tak ing the much-dreaded step. But the northern men are afraid it would mean the loss of thousand of votes for them at home, and denunciation abroad. . There is scarcely a subject which so tests the courage and conscience of the average Congressman as that of pension legislation. Every member has his own scheme to advance, and feels that he cannot afford to refuse to help the schemes of his associates. Consequently good and bad schemes are huddled together and nobody has the hardihood to try to assort them. Every Friday evening in its special pension session, the House passes from fifty to a hundred pension bills. Last week, you remember, the Sen ate passed four hundred in a batch without reading one of them. The Senators sat talking and writing, while the farce was going on, appar ently oblivious of the fact that the U. S. Treasury was not inexhaustible, and that everv dollar taken out of it had to be put‘into it by a tax. The pension business, as it is carried on in Congress, is a swindle of the worst sort and Mr. Tillman of South Caro lina is the man who is credited with the intention of exposing it to the country. The Senators had a little tariff talk a few days ago. It was the first 1 chance they have had this session of Hon. Henry W. Hillard, upon hear ing it said, while standing with a group of gentlemen in Atlanta, that the reception accorded Mr. Davis II” 1 South injuriously at the North, remarked: “No, it will ao good. You might as well expect a Greek to forget Thermopvl**, or Mara thon, as to suppose that a Southern man could be indifferent to the mem ° r >~ the men who stood for the South m her struggle forindependenee It is a sentiment that will never die out of the Southern heart, perfectly consistent with loyalty to our common country, and the government of the United States. The North will respect us the more for our manifestation of regard for the men, living orthedead, who foughtfor a cause that they know to be hopelessly lost." These are true and honest! words. Coming from a, man, too, known and esteemed the country over as a scholar and thinker of rare attainments, as a man who ac quired fame as a statesman andorator at a time when he stood by Clay, Cal houn, Webster and like patriots in Congress, his opinion will have weight with the thinking men of the North who never will indorse the vaporings of the fools and demagogues of that section.—Atlanta Journal. Thk Price of a Distinguished Kiss.—Albert Delpit, in the San Fran cisco Ingleside, relates this anecdote of General Galiffet: “On one occasion I was to dine with him at the house of Madame Edmond Adam, who is the editor of the Nouvelle Revue, and who has one of the most fashionable salons in Paris. General Galiffet was late. He arrived finally at 7.45, and advanced toward the hostess, who was standing near the mantelpiece. Madam Adam wore a beautiful dress of black velvet, with a very decollete corsage, above which her bruuetic beauty shone like a marble of Pradler Galiffet advanced, bowed, and said with admiration: ‘Sapristi! Tlio> • beautiful shoulders!’ And then, in too stiff and soldierly a manner, per haps, he bent over and lightly print edakiss on her right shoulder. Mad ame Edmond Adam grew rosy with indignation and slapped the General's face. This did not trouble him in tin- least. He bowed again with infinite respect, and, with a gesture of admir able fatuity, said: ‘Since 1 know tin- price!’ and kissed the other shoulder.” G-ood Results in Every Case. D. A.

Editor Dana is not always grim and sardonic. Nothing broader lias been written about this attempt to raise a row over Jeff Davis than this extract from a leader in the New York Sun: ‘JJt seems to us that there are braver and more magnanimous things to do than to wage war with a harm less old man, anil nobler policies for a political party than to try and dis tort an interesting and not unworthy sentiment into a revival of hostility to the Union. The South cannot with any self-respect forget how much was glorious in a cause which was still well lost; nor is she less true to the Union because she nourishes the fading mem ories of futile aspirations stoutly struggled for. But the Republican, party will never be satisfied whatevei the South does. Abuse and distrust of the South are the principal remain ing assets of that concern.”—Ma con Telegraph. We learn from the Chattanooga Times that the counsel for Jim Mc Coy (convicted in Walker Superior Courr of the murder of deputy mar shal Kellet) applied for a new trial, and that Judge Branham set July 2d as the time for the argument of a mo tion for a new trial. The Times un derstands- that McCoy's guilt was clearly proven. He lias been taken back to Atlanta for safe keeping, to gether with Jim Wiley, against whom me grand jury found a true bill as an accomplice ol' McCoy. “We don't have to recommend Parker's Hair Balsam but once, writes Mr. C.
