The case against Judge Field in the Federal circuit court in California has been thrown out because of the char acter of Mrs. Terry.

Miss Clara Ophelia Harris daugh ter of Judge Charles J. Harris, of Ma con, has written a story suggested by the Johnstown flood which has re ceived high praise. Miss Harris has given evidence before this of literary talent of a high oilier. A -great man onee said, “Why should a man be afraid of fcbe censure of other men, or anxious for their praise any more than for his own?” That is a grand thought, and deser ves to be canorized. But the troublo is there are so many fools and egotists in the world. The disposition of the legislature seems to be to provide that the State road shall be leased to the highest bid der, without restriction. This is cer tainly the proper course. The road is the property of the people of Georgia and they have a right to expect that it shall be made to bring ns good a price ns possible. There should be no provision or restriction to favor any class of bidders. Senator Johnson, of Muscogee'coun- ty, lias recently introduced an impor tant bill in the Senate. It is a bill to create the office of State bank exam iner, at a salary of $3,000 per annum. It strikes us that the present way of requiring the banks to make semi annual reports, under oath, to the Governor is the best. This plan costs the State nothing, and it is a safer plan too, for one man might be in duced to make a false statement as to a bank’s condition, while it is not probable that sworn officers of a bank would do so. The Study of the Political Relationi of the States. The Augusta Chronicle complains that the Augusta people don’t ‘blow’ their city enough, and tells them to imitate Atlanta in this lespect. If you rnoet any man from Atlanta in New Yo.k, the first thing he asks is, lt wliat is the news from Atlanta?”— And if you was to meet him suddenly at the North Pole the first thing he would say would be, “this aint any thing, as to coolness, to what we have in Atlanta.” Our readers may see, in a majority of our leading articles of the last two or three months, Borne views which we have formerly presented to them since the restoration of peaceable re lations between the Northern and Southern sections of the Union. ;Our object has been to show that the" po litical relations re-established between the North and the South have not de stroyed the original privileges which were established at the formation and adoption of the constitution of the United States in the year 1787. It is true a long and bloody war oc curred between the North and South but all the essential and sacred rights of the South were maintained in the final settlement of that bloody con test. It is true the language convey ing the meaning and purpose of th* new relatiou between the states is dif ferent in some respectB from that ad opted under the original constitution of the United States. Instead of call ing the States Free Sovereign find In dependent States, the Union is desig nated as indestructible states, but all the rights belonging to them are iu- destruotlble. Seme recognized now an not to be found in the original arti cles of confederation, for instance, the power to regulate trade with foreign nations and to levy duties upon goods impor- ed from foreign countries. A critical reader of the constitution will see that no tribunal was estab lished to decide disputes between a state or any number of states and the Federal Government in the exercise of the delegated powers. The Feder al government is restricted in the ex ercise of its powers to the grants of the states, and the states themselves to the powers not delegated to the Federal government. Either party might exceed the limits of its powers, yet in the constitution there is no pro vision made for deciding the questions of difference which might arise. Mr. Jefferson, in the Kentucky and Virginia Resolutions of 1708-99, said that “when the General Government assumed undelegated powers; its acts are unauthoritative, void aad of.no force, that the general •government was not made tne exclusive or final ?udge of the extant df the powers delegated to itsejr, since that would have made its discretion, and not the constitution, the measure of’its pow ers; but that, as in all other cases of compact among powers having no common judge, each party has an equal right to judge for itself, as well of Infractions as of the mode and measure of redress.” Mr. Jefferson further says, “where powers are as sumed which have not been delega ted, a nullification of the act is the In Montgomery county, Penn., a few days ago a negro who had been in the Federal army died, and the friends of the deceased asked for permission to bury the dead negro in the soldiers eemetary, and were refused by the directors of that in stitution. The Montgomery Adver tiser. referring to this incident, which illustrates tlio hypocrisy of the bla tant republicans who aro continually howling aliout the race prejudice in the South, desires the “sliriokers” to distinctly remember this occurred In Montgomery county in tho republi can state of Pennsylvania, and not in Montgomery county, Ala. and manifold robbery of their rights by northern majorities. If theylost their affection for itbo Union it waa caused by the wrongs heaped upon thorn without pity or remorse, for many weary years. Let the country K° *5 tke anoient landmarks, limit the Federal Government within tus extent of Its powers and the South will again love tho Union as In days long ago. If then a storm should rise to threaten tho Union no people would rush so swiftly, and march so gallantly under tho star- spangled banner to defend it. Bold brave, generous and enthusiastic, tho call to arms, tho drum-beat, and the thunder of cannon would be music in their ears wherever tho roes of the Union-should marshal their forcos to harm it. If the people are expeoted to love the Union teach them to love their respective states. Fill their hearts with ideas of state glory and then they will admire and iovo tho Federal Government created by those states so dear to their affections. It would be almost as easy for a single man to lift a pyramid from its base and hurl it to the Syrian desert, as to drive such a State from the American Un ion. This is the strong government that we want; a government resting upon the consent of the governed, foutjdea upon equity and justioft and sustained by the strong arms of self- respected and devoted people. 00 WE WANT THE NEGRO? Senator Gibbs has Introduced a bill calculated, in the event it becomes a law, to try the state of the public temper in regard to the exodus of ne gro laborers. The existing law, by imposing a license tax of $500 for each county, discourages and keeps away such emigration agents as may cast a longing eye upon the sinewy arms and broad backs of tho Georgia negro. The Gibbs bill proposes to throw down the bars and give the agents a fair field by repealing that part of section 4598 of tho Code which makes it a misdemeanor for them to solicit without first obtaining the ex pensive license. Senator Gibbs ap prehends that the farmers will find no difficulty in retaining all the laborers they want. Those negroes, he says, who have good places on the farms will hardly abandon so comfortable a certainty to test the flattering, but unreliable emigration agents, while the state will be speedily relieved of 100,000 loafers, whose presence is now a constant menace to good order in. the Georgia towns. The bill, be says, was prompted by this latter consider- tion.—Macon Telegraph. Tie Writer ef a Familiar Hymn. How many of the myriads who in l have sung “There is a h$p- lify of their own authority -all as sumptions of power by others within their limits; that without this right they would be under the dominion, absolute and unlimited, of whosoever might exercise this right of judgment for them.” For our purpose it is not necessary to add anything more from tiie Virginia and Kentucky resolu tions, but it is necessary to state that when remonstrance and protest total ly fail, when liberty is withering un der the Federal Destroyer-Dekth- propRed in the tight and galling bauds of a tyranieal consolidated ma jority—the only escape, if escape could be accomplished would be in with drawal from the Union. It may be said some of the Southern States have tried that and been worsted in the at tempt. Too, ‘too true. We are un dertaking now to show how the Un ion can be made perpetual and strong er than in the recognition of tho su- E remacy of the Federal government. ittle did the framers of the consti tution imagine that a creature of their hands, a political agency set up for the common welfare for conve nience only—would in le3s than a cen tury, claim to be the master of the creators. While we were shouting over the glorious Union, bad men, demagogues, consolidationists and monarchists were plotting the de struction of its original principles, sowing discord in tiie place of friend ship, duplicity and treachery in the hearts x>f the people in Northern sec tions, teaching them that a disregard of the constitution was a part of the worship of God; that to revile and hate the people of the South was a decree of Heaven and the highest at tribute of patriotism in American cit izenship. And we have seen the flame and heard the thunder of war which came of it and the immense sacrifice of life and treasure which it caused. Has it evor crossed the minds of our readers that the political instru ments of all this wrong and crime was the denial of tho sovereignty of States, and tho doctrine of the supre macy and paramount sovereignty of the Federal Government. Those bad men and demagogues have ever be Moved in tho incapacity of the peo- plo for self-government. The mass es of the Northern people have be come their dupes (not willingly, for they love liberty as well as wo of the South do,) but through thoir doubts and fears from the teachings of treacherous leaders. They havo been made to believe that their liberties were endangered by the miscalled Southern enemies of tho Union. Tho people of the South woro dovo- ted lovers of tho Union. Thoy would havo been more or loss of men, if they had not resisted tho constant Washington Letter. Prom Our Regular Correspondent. far away,” know any* thing of its writer? His name is An drew Young, and he is now eighty years of age, still mentally and physi cally vigorous, and retaining in all its early freshness his sympathy with children. The hymn was composed in 1838. The tune to whish it is mar ried is au old Indian air, which blend ed with the music of the woods in in the primaeval forest long before Sunday schools were thought of. The hymn was composed for the* melody. Its bright and stroDgly marked pbra. ses struck Mr. Young’s musical ear the first time lie heard it casually played in the drawing room. He ask- ad for it again and again. It haunted him. Being accustomed to relieve the clamor of his thoughts and feel ings in ryhme, words naturally fol lowed, and so the hymn was created. Mr. Young happened to have his hymn performed in the presence of his intimate friend, Mr. Gall, a mem ber of the publishing firm of Gall & Inglis. It got into print. It has been translated into nineteen different lan guages. And yet the author has never received, and, indeed, has never been offered, a penny remuneration. It is only recently that Professor Da vid Masson, referring to the unique influence of this lyric, stated a most touching Incident in the life of Thack eray. Walking one day in a “slum” district in London he suddenly came upon a band of gutter children sit ting on the pavement. They were Binging. Drawing nearer he heard the words; “There is a happy land, Far, far away!” As he looked at the ragged choristers and their squalid surrounding and saw that their pale faces were lit up with a thought which brbught both forgetfulness and hope, the tender-hearted cynic burst into tears. WilHiHOTON, D. O. Aug. 86, 1868. Editors Uniok-Rkcor»kr: The Navy department has received a cablegram from Rear Aduiira Gherardi, commanding the North At lantic sqandron, asking that the New American minister to Hayti be sent immediately as Legitime had abdica ted and Hippolyte is now on top in that changeable little island. The French and English captains have placed themselves under Admiral Gherardi’s orders in ease of any trou ble at Port-an-Prinoo. Fred Dong- Iubh is the new minister. It is expec ted that he will start this week. It is siad that the Haytians object to Douglass as Minister; they want a white man. Permission has been granted by the Agricultural department to some of the Knight Templars who will attend to Conclave in this city nest October to pitch their tents in the department grounds.

A SEED IS KILLING HIM. Lodged in the Yermifbm Appendix of William Walton and Threat en* Death. Special to the Philadelphia Inquirer. Nhw York, Aug. *).—William Wal ton, associated with-hi* father* W.

Some unfavorable comment lias been made here because the South is not to be visited by the excursionists. It hardly seems fair to leave that sec tion out as long as it Mi on a trip which has to be paid tor by the Gov ernment. “Mahone’a nomination M the re publicans,’’ said a Virginia4emoorat of prominence, “has madfj.$he fight iu Virginia a serious tt^ng for us. Malione, as an organjpMr, has few equals and no superloR^jTlmc^'ire have got a hard fight on hand to carry the State.” The same views are expressed by many democrats heie, They be lieve they can win but only by the hardest of work. To think of the International Expo sition of 1892, being held in any other city than Washington is out Of the question. The Government owns am ple grounds here right down in the heart of the city to erect all the necessary buildings upon. Four-fifths of tiie Congressmen heard from on tiie subject favor Washing ton and there is not the slightest doubt that tho Exposition will be held here aB it should be. Ciyil Service Commisloner Lyman says that the reports sent out from here stating that the Commissioners had talked with President Harrison about the proposed extension of the rules to cover the chiefs of division in the departments is an error. The subject has not been called to the President’s attention, but will be, when he returns to this city os the Commissioners are unanimously in favor of Its adoption. An open rup ture between* the Commission and one of the Cabinet is said to be one of the probabilities of the near future. The navy department has had to issue new proposals for building the five new cruisers provided for at the last session of Congress, because the bids received for those first issued were all in excess of the amount ap propriated. It is fearedthat vessels of the class desired cannot be built for the amounts stipulated by Congress, and that the matter will have to be referred back to that body for fur ther action. We seem to have all sorts of drawbacks in the bnilding of our new navy. Representaative Breekenridge of Kentucky was in this city last week. He does not, think the republicans will have any serious contentions over the contested election cases unless the republicans attempted to seat men not legally entitled to the seat. Per sonally Mr. Breekenridge Is opposed to an extra session of Congress but from a political standpoint he hopes one will be called. Ho said: “to have do, swallowed the seeds. One of the •eeds did not pass through the prop er channels, but lodged in a place called in medical parlance the vermi form appendix.

This is the only part of the human frame that does not perform ascertainable function. The vermiform appendix simply seems to be a deatli trap. It has no known use except to delude the unwary vic tim into swallowing the bait that will prove his death. There is a sugical operation which may be performed, but it has often proved fatal. Young Mr. Walton, it is understood, lias submitted to the nec essary surgical operation, and liis life is still banging in the balance. Accord ing to the statement of a physician of prominent standing this afternoon the first operation necessary in a case of this kind was successfully per formed by the late Dr. Sands about the time he was associated with Dr. Fordyce Baker iu the case of the late Roscoe Conkling.
