We have avoided some of the most intricate technical terms used in the discussion of the subjeot, so as to simplify its comprehension to those who have not given It sufficient study to readily understand it. The protective tariffltes harp a great deal npon the necessity of pro tecting our home Industries against foreign pauper labor. As our trade has been immensely greater with England than any other foreign coun try, we will at present coniine our at tention to a comparison of the pay of American and English factory opera tives. We lmd figures of our own deriv ed from various sources, but to avoid captious criticism, we will take those presented to the United States Sen ate by Mr. Reck, the distinguished Senator from Kentucky. Mr. Bock said: “Fortunately for the truth, (.as any statement of mine would be unheed ed,) Secretary Blaine shows by the reports nf ^’onitU';S|ia\v, uml other undoubted sburcCT, fnat the wages of operatives paid in the cotton mills of Manchester, Engiand,• are higher than are paid in many parts of the United States for the dike work, and are about as high as the wages paid in Massachusetts. (Seei pages 08 And 90) alluding to the report. I propose to read what the Secretary (Blaine) says and make it a part of the record, as I suppose an effort will be made to sup press the report, or read the Secre tary out of the party for daring to tell such unwholesome truths. That report is a valuable contribution to commercial history, but I will not in jure the report, or the Secretary, by speaking well of it. I will content, myself with reading. He says: “Owing to the different arrange ments of the English and American tables, it is difficult to give a compar ative analysis thereof which would show, at a glance, the difference in the wages of the operatives of both countries. The wages of spinners and weavers in Lancashire and in Massa chusetts, according to the foregoing statements, were as follows per week: •Spinners.—English $7.20 to $8.40, (Master spinners running as high as $12.) American Spinners $7.07 to $10.30. __ Weavers*— English, $3.84 to $8.04, subject, at the date on which these rates were given, to a reduction of 10 per cent. American $4.82 to $8.73. The average wages of employees in the Massachusetts mills is as follows, | according to the official returns: Men, $8.30; women, $.7.02, male, children, $3.11; female children, $3.08. | According to Consul Shaw's report, | the avarage wages of the men em ployed in the Lancashire mills on the 1st of January, 1880, was about $8 per week, subject to a reduction of 10 per 1 cent. The hours of labor in the Lanca shire mills are 50; in the Massaclm setts mills, 00. The hours of labor in the other United States, where the wages are generally less than in Mas sachusetts, are usually- 00 to 00 per week.” These facts were uttered by Mr. Beck, in open Senate before all the high protective tariff Senators. Mot one disputed the statements of Mr. Beck. .Nor has any one dared to dis pute them since. If these facts are disputed now, we can pile Polion up on Ossa of other proof not to be hunt ed for, but now in our hands; yea, ly ing so thickly before us that it would be a heavy-task to write it out. We want our opponents to believe in our sincerity and honesty on this question, and if we have written any thing about it that is not true we will make the amend honorable if it is pointed out. But we are not done yet with this question of payments to American and British factory opera tives. We have examined it closely and will admit that the result of our investigations lead us to the conclu sion that the American payments are at least 10 per cent greater than the British. But let us look a moment at what the different payments will pur chase. Assuming any given sum, for the American say $50, the amount for tlie English will be $45. The English man can buy u good business suit made to order for 14 to 15 dollars. The lowest price at which a similar suit can be bought In New York is from 27 to 30 dollars. Suits of tine blue cloth can be bought in London for $20, which cost $40 in New York city, ami so of all kinds of goods, costing one-half or little over half in England of the prices held for them in New York city. If this be so, how can any of our Southern democrats reconcile it to themselves to join in the cry that the protective tariff is intended in part to protect American labor a- gainst the pauper labor of the Eng- What has the National honor to do with it? More than mere iihlitidual honor; for without national "action the wrong could not be committed,. It wa» perpetrated by the vote* or a majority of both houses Of Confer** 1 * and the signature of the Pneeldent of the United States. What i* need ed, is for our Congress and President to undo the wrong as speedily as poe- sible. That cannot wipe dtit th* stain of Injustice already done, but It will make all the amend "possible for the shameful violation of the consti tution in the enactment of at law which robbed one class of our people for the benefit of another.

Peterson’s Magazine for July begins a new serial, “Along tho Bayou,” by the very popular Southern writer, Miss Alice Bowman, which promises even to surpass her former stories. Miss Bowman is undoubtedly a wo man of genius, wonderfully correct in her delineation of Creole character, and her patois is the most natural ever put in print. Some of the most popular authors of the South are among the contributors for “Peter son.” Miss M. G. M’Clelland ranks E rominently in the liBt, and there are, esldes, Mrs. M. Slieffey Peters, whose dialect-stories have proved so successful, Mrs. Emma Garrison Jones, Miss Alice Maud Ewell, and I others. This fact is naturally of special interest in our section of the country, ] and we have a right to feel proud of 1 tin; rapidly-growing prominence which I Southern writers are claiming in the I literature of the land. There is scarcely an American author who, during the past ten years, has achiev ed marked celebrity at home or in England, but belongs to the South, and it is only just to “Peterson,” to tylmit that its columns have introduc ed more young Southern writers to notice than any other magazine. Re garded both from an artistic and lit erary point of view, “Peterson,” takes rank among the best of the first-class periodicals, while, in the matter of fashion, needlework-patterns, and in struction of all sorts available in households, it bears off the palm from all the other lady’s-magazines. Terms: two dollars a year, with great reduc tions to clubs, and splendid premiums. Address, Peterson’s Magazine, UJO Chestnut iStreel, Philadelphia, Pa. The Man of Her Choice. The WJII Stands Is the Decision of the Snpteme Court in the Dickson Cese. I’liilailelpliia Times. One of the greatest belles and heir esses in Philadelphia, and a beauty besides, married a rather good-look ing young man without business or a penny. She had been courted as siduously by one of the greatest beaux in town, a rich young man, with fortune, prestige and everything back of him except that he was gay and had sown an immense crop of wild oats. He sent her the most ex pensive presents, which she would not accept. Scores of influential friends tried to Help on his cause, and the most skillful female diplomatists tried to induce her to discard the young man, who had nothing and no friends but herself. Her own family, without an exception, did everything to induce her to prefer the rich suitor, j Young as she was, and with fill socie- I ty making a pet of her, she gave up everything—gave up society, gave up every luxury aud fascination that wo men are supposed to hold dear—and married the man of her choice. And she is happy—far happier than many who are “in the swim.” When some oue said to her: “Whv did you make the choice you did? Why refuse so much that most girls value dearly?” she replied: “I married for two things—character and morality. My husband had both and the oth er man didn’t. I loved and respected one; the other 1 could not.* Aphorisms on Dress. Ksh. Our Sopthern Deptocratic protec tionists have suffered tbsmselves to be misled by the Jugfelery of their old enemies, who are cracking their jokes over their loyalty to the greatest cheat ever practiced upon the people since they broke the British scepter on this American continent. Who would have supposed it possible that they could be enticed into the ranks of those who are engaged in robbing tbeir neighbors and frlfends of the fruits of their labor to support their wives and children. We trust they are only temporarily be guiled, and will yet join their old friends in the patriotic effort to pro tect the people’s rights and restore the national Donor. London queen. First and most familiar to common observation is woman's personal ap pearance, and in this case, vanity, more potent in woman's heart than selfishness, renders it an object of gen eral solicitude to be so adorned as best to meet and gratify the public taste. Without inquiring too minute ly into the motive, the custom, as such, must be commended; for, like many of the minor virtues of women, though scarcely taken note of in its immediate presence, it is sorely miss ed when absent. A careless or slat ternly wotnp,n, for instance, is one of the most repulsive objects in creation; and such is the force of public opin ion and- favor of the delicacies Of taste and feeling in the female sex, that no power of intellect or display of learning can compensate to men for the want of nicety or neatness in the woman with whom they associate in domestic life. In vain to them might tho wreath of laurel wave in glorious triumph over locks uncomb ed; and woo betide the heroine whose stocking, even of the deepest blue, betraying a lurking hole,—Mrs. Ellis: “Women of England.” Thk Meanest Man in Town— Is one who sponges the reading of his home paper and then finds fault with it, and sends off and gets a paper from a distance because it is cheaper. duct, after lie has had a better chance of reform than would bo given a white man under similar circum stances.

A. Wheeler actedasiVioe-President of the United States one term, was re called by his death, aiid half-masting the flag:; on public buildings in this city on the day oi his funeral. Mr. Wheeler, after retiring from office, like Hayes, his principal in the theft of the Presidency in 1870, dropped from public regard, with the contempt and execration of all truly honeBt men, living tho remainder of his days | in such painful remorse and obscurity, | that both his mind and body became j the easy prey of insiduous disease. The people of Washington are grat ified to learn of the improvement in the condition of their beloved fellow citizen, the wealthy hanker and phi- lanthrophUt, Mr. W. YV. Corcoran, who was lately prostrated with paral ysis, which at first caused much con cern. Mr. Corcoran's large benefac tions to the o|ty are the famous Cor coran Art Gallery, with its fine collections gf paintings and pict ures, and the Louise Home, where gentlewomen in reduced circum stances may find refuge in their de clining days. Although Mr. Corcoran is in Xie 8‘Jth year, it is hoped he may yet be spared for years of beneficence and usefulness for he is an honor and a blessing to his country and to the world. Ths* KftJUbnal Rifles have accepted an invitation to participate in the competetive drill at Chicogo next October. The Western boys would do well to look to their laurels, if they expect to defeat the Capital's crack company. There is a curious coincidence in the fact that no sooner does the man from Maine set sail for Europe, than the Irisn-American club of New York be gins to boom Mr. Blaine for President declaring that while they have no ob jection to other candidates, the head of the old ticket is the man of their choice. Well, the Democrats will fer vently wish the Icish-Americans suc cess in their endeavor to renominate Mr. Blaine, but fear their hope will not be realized. This Blaine talk, and the further fact that the New Hampshire Republicans have resur rected, and are about to send to the U. 18. Senate “Bill” Chandler, politi cal boss, notorious corruptionist, and as bad as all, the fraudulent Pres ident's tool and underling, conclu sively demonstrates that more than one defeat will be required to chasten the Republican party. If the people of Washington could decide the question, 1 believo Secreta ry Lamar would surely succeed to tho the vacancy in the Supreme Court, but we have it from good authority that tlie Secretary does not desire the position, as it would shelve him for life, and deprive the Nation—as his friends think—of the great ability of this eminent statesman in its cabinets and councils, where he is best fitted to serve and shine. As tlie Grand Army of the Repub lic is incubating another “Dependent Pension Bill,” which they will urge the next Congress to pass, it is proba ble that President Cleveland's veto will again be the country's only safe guard against a measure so unjustand ruinous.

THE HISTORY OF A FAMOUS CABM+~ TH* ARGUMENT OF COONSMLiIN TH» MATTER—THE DECISION OF OOURTJ-SBHCUDATION AND GOSSIP CONCERNING THE FAMOUS "WtUh CASE. . From Atlanta Constitution. Tho supreme court of Geoi^jfo. Jus tice Samuel Hal! presiding, repderea on yesterday Its decision in regard to the will of the late David Dlokson, in which a large property was left Amanda A. Dickson, colored, and her two children. The decision of the court was that the will of tho testator should stand; there being shown to tin 1, court no reason why the Instru ment as written by the testator should not govern tho disposition of the property: The case has been pending for some time in the supreme court, and the decision lias been anxiously awaited because of the peculiar feature of the Thotigh the matter has been, more than once published in tho columns of the Constitution,» , simple recital of the facts prpvsf interesting 1 , now that the decision 6f the supreme court has Again brought tho matter prominently before the public. . David Dickson lived in Hancock county near the little tdwn of Sparta. He was a farmer, and won from the sandy soil of Hancock not only gen erous living, but managed to put by each year a sum that aggregated at tlie time of his death a handsome for tune. Mr. Dickson was more than an ordinary country farmer; lie was a man of broad views and extensive in formation, and as he grew In experi ence became to be regarded as an an- thority upon agricultural topics. His formulas fbr commercial fertilizers, his rules lor the planting and cultiva tion of crops, especially of cotton, and his dissertations upon all farm topics were largely followed, and greatly instrumental in improving the condi tion of the farmers of Lils state and section. Unmarried, he lived in a comfortable manner near Sparta, and was held in the highest esteem by his neighbors. He was regarded as a wealthy man, and at his death his neighbors were not surprised . when his estate approximated $350,000. But there was surprise manifested, when upon the opening of tlie will, it was found that Amanda A. Dickson, and her two children, were the heirs to the magnificent property. Amanda Di ksoa was a mulatto wo man of about thirty years, and was the daughter, of Julia Dickson, a col ored woman who hail lived with Mr. Dickson for many years. When the relatives and friends of Mr. Dickson found that the hulk of tlie estate was to go by the will to the mulatto wo man and her two children they tiled a caveat, objecting to the will on tho following grounds; First, the will was the result of undue Influences exer cised by Amanda and her mother, Julia, upon the mind of tlie testator; second, it resulted from false and fraudulent representations made by Amanda and her mother to the effect that Amanda was tho child of Mr. Dickson, and that Amanda’s two children were natural sons of Mr. Charles H. Eubanks, a deceased friend of Mr. Dickson; third and last, the nature of the will was contrary to ilie public policy of the state. On the trial of the case before tho Court of ordinary the will was admit- soti, yet if he left property to them as a reparation for Ins past Indiscretions, or us a means for. Providing for his own offspring, ana not with any vlew to import immorality, or with any understRndipg>that further illegal relations wers to exist, the court could not see how the will could be declar ed void.’on that account. In render ing the decision the court said; “That whether or. not, it wouM be desirable to prohibit such leaacles by law is a matter we cannot deal with, and in the absence of any legislative action Upon .the subject., it will be beyond the powers of the judicial department of the Government t&.n>nke such dec laration, and as to the color of the parties interested, tho constitution of the United Htates, the decisions of the United Htates Supreme court as well as the coristitution and laws of Georgia prevent a discrimination on that ground on the mere matter of (claiminga legacy.” So it appears that Amanda A. Dick son and iier two children are fully in possession of this magnificent, proper ty, aud oanuot bo disturbed hereafter In the enjoyment of the same. f • The counsel for and against the will Were numerous and able.

It is said that the renumeration of Counsel was agreed upon before the case went Into the, oonrts, and it was rumored yes terday that the legal fees would not exceed $25,000. It is also stated upon excellent authority that Amanda Dick son will not receive a sum less than that intended for her by the testator because of large legal expenses, for the ri'ason, that Mr. Dklkson expect ing a legal fight over the disposition of the property, left, to the executors a sum of money sufficient to pay tlie expenses of a legal contest. This sum is said to be* $25,000, which would seem to corroborate the statement that the attorneys’ fees would not be beyond that amount. The decision of the court leaves Amanda A Dickson, one of the richest, if not the richest, colored woman in the United States. NO RACE CO-EDUCATION. The Panama Canal.—Will it ever be completed?

Many are anx ious to hear from him. ted to probate, and tlm caveators carried tlie matter to the superior court of Hancock county for trial. J After a long and stubborn contest in j the superior court, with able and zealous attorneys on both sides, before a jury of citizens, who had known the tatestor in life, the verdict was found for the will. The caveators, through their attorneys, moved for a new trial, but the court refused to grant it, whereupon the caveators excepted, and carried the case to the supreme court. , , . . The case was argued last year be fore the supreme court, when the bench was composed of Chief-Justice Jackson, and AssociateJusticesHa.il and Blandford. Weeks and months elapsed and the court made no decis ion. The matter was delayed so long that public interest grew tired, anil the case dropped from the minds or tlie people. At the time of the death of the late lamented Chief-Justice Jackson, the subject of the will again oaino iR), in the speculation upon a rumor that the death of the chief- justice left the remaining members or tlie court divided ,upon the matter.

In regard to the question of undue influence, alleged to have been ed upon the mind of the testator, the court held that the representations made whether fraudulent ornot, " e questions for the jury.

Atlanta, June 10.—The Board of Visitors held their final meeting at the capitol today and submitted their reports to the Governor. The State University report is common-place and conventional, containing nothing of special interest.! The board compli ments Administrative ( 'baileeNor Mell, and commends the university to the support and patronage of the friends of liberal education in the State. The report of the Atlanta University, colored, is an abler anil more interest ing paper, with Some feature of pub lic Importance. Tlie report goes carefully into the details of the in struction, malting wholesome sug gestions here and there. There are twenty-four teachers and attendance nearly 500 students. The majority is from Georgia, but eight other States are represented, among them New York anil Massachusetts. A striking and significant feature of the report is a reference to the fact that white pupils, of various ages and both sex es, are in attendance, and on entirely the same footing with the negro stu dents. These generally are more or less closely related to the teachers or officials, but in one instance, in no way related. Tho board learned that it was tlie avowed intention of tlie institution to admit all white children applying, and to encourage it, tlmH striving to break down the barriers to co-education of tlie races, so well established by policy. This the State board strongly condemns on the ground that not only is it intrinsically wrong, but contrary to our civiliza tion, anil the genius of our institu tions. The board further asserts the Atlanta University is using the $8, 000 appropiated by tue Htute directly contrary to the terms of the appro priation anil the spirit of legislation. From the act of 1874 to tlie present year, it charges a misuse of the funds, as they are appropriated solely for the benefit of the colored race. They call the special attention of the Governor to this matter, and indicate between lines that it is a matter for legislation.
