PATERNAL GOVERNMENT. Bismarck ia transforming the Oer man Empire into a paternal govern ment A citizen of that country W required to send hie children to school n given length of time each year, to make certain stipulated pro visions for the comfort and support of hit family, and to even required to expend n part of his salary in n life insurance policy. In fact Prince Blemnrck hae taken upon himself the smallest private affairs of the German people, and makes the gen eral government do nil the thinking and planning for them. Such a pol icy transforms the people into ma chines, and can only result in low ering their mental and governing powers. This is doubtless the intent and desire of Bismarck. He is watching with alarm the growth of republican forms of government and seen that the best plan to defeat it is to make mere dependents of the inhabitants of hie kingdom, training them to look to and rely only upon their rulers for goidance snd-provi sion. We can readily discern the olear-sigbted wisdom of Bismarck’s policy for Germany; but notice with apprehension a tendency in our own repnblic to ape him. There is not s legislature or congress convenes but that you Bee laws introduced or pass ed looking to taking the control of their private affairs from the hands of the people, and regulating them by law. This is particularly notice able in the Northern States, but it was not until the last session otpnr legislature that a successful' effort at paternal government *ras made in Georgia. This first'step was the of ajrilr stipulating the employees in man- M rk. We are op- ch interference by oor law-makers with the domestic affairs or a free and intelligent peo ple. The question oi hours of labor should be left to the employers and employees to settle, for they beet know what will promote their hap piness and interests. We believe in man being a free agent, and let bim manage Mb own private busi ness as he sees fit and proper, so that he does not interfere' with the rights or peace of otheis. A man should feel that his home is his castle, and he t king in his own household, with his wife as queen. There to no telling where this in terference by a State with the pri vate affairs of individuals will end, if it is not checked. In a few years the law will dictate to a man how often he shall change his shirt, wash his children’s faces, or take a dose of medicine. Let every intelligent man think and act for himself, and be responsi ble only to liimselt for the success or failure of his individual affairs. Just so long as he provides for and treats with love and kindness his dependent family, and obeys the laws of bis country, he should be left free and independent. A paternal govern ment has a tendency to degenerate and make dependents of a people. This won’t suit oor American re public. We want to raise up a stout hearted, self-reliant race, who will be able to meet and cope with the world wherever their lot is cast. plenty for U to feed upon. AgaiD, wc all confess that it is important to begin a permanent sys tem of improvement on oar streets, or the thousands expended annually in shitting dirt is that much money thrown away. It will be doable work aud expense to toy sewers after our avenues ate paved, for they would have to be torn np and the work done over again. Now to the time to boild sewers, and the sooner com menced the better for both oar city and the tax payers. A private company stands ready to bnild sewers in Atheos whenever the council will give them a fran cblse ; bat we do not want this val uable right te pass from the city. There to a handsome profit to be reaped from sewers, and Athens should receive it. We made a se rious mistake in permitting stran gers to bnild onr water works, and it will be a still greater error to let the contract for sewers pass out of onr hands. So far from increasing tax ation, sewers will prove a source of revenue to the city, for those who use them will pay all cost and expense. There is not a family in Athens bat will gladly pay the small assessment necessary to have such a great con venience at hand. Sewers will save time, health, doc tor’s bills, and even life itself. vsvnws, ais, v«*p- , trunks, valises, umbrellas parasols, blankets, comforts, cloths, boots, shoes robbers, goods, lace, embroideries, trimming, - glass show cases, and all other goods contained in said stock, all being contained in said store-room.

NOT A USELESS BATTLE- Says a blundering Republican newspaper, says the Chicago Herald, which dislikes very much to acknowl edge the greatness and goodness of a democrat: -The blood shed at the battle of New Orleans was wasted blood.” It was nothing of the sort. No other battle that the Americans ever fonght with a foreigu foe was of greater value than that of New Or leans. Because it was wngered af ter the treaty of peace bad been signed it was perhaps natural for all ill-informed persons to imagine that the battle was useless, bat it had an effect which was lasting and which will never be effaced. It proved to England the prowes of Americans in arms, and it made England assume toward the United States an atitnde which, treaty or no treaty, it nevir would have observed without just such a drubbing as General Jackson gave to its army under Pakenham at New Orleans. Moreover, news of the battle of New Orleans, though it was fought after the treaty of peace had been signed, went in company with news of the treaty all over the world, and the moral effect of snch a victory was of prodigious valne to America. That great.triamph made a war which, througn New England’s luke warmness, had been almost a failure a glorious success, and more than anything else np to that time, it made the young republic respected by the nations of the earth. The newspaper that speak* of the battle of New Orleans as t useless struggle probably gets its history from the American Iron and Steel Association's tariff primer, in whiob it is taught that, John having six apples and Johnathan haying none, if Johnathan takes away three of John’s apples both are enriched and the wealth of the family is therefore increased.

The people of Athens will soon be called upon to decide whether or not onr city shall have sewers. We be lieve that sewers will be voted for by a decided majority, as onr citizens ate now thoroughly convinced of their vital importance. Aside from their convenience,they are demanded as a sanitary measure. With only surface draining, the filth from a large section of the city is carried by every rain into the factory pond, and whenever the water is lowered the hot summer sun rays distill from it malaria that is distributed over a large territory, producing fever and other sickness. With sewers, this drainage would be conveyed below the dam, and carried away by the swift current of the river. Then by giving the pond a chance to wash out at some lime when the factory yxM idleTthe health of Athens would THE DAILY BANNER. We point with pride to the im proved news service of The Daily Banker. W bile we do not publish as large a sheet as some of the big city dailies, at the same time we do claim that we give equally as much and as fresh news as the best. If you will compare the telegraphic col nrnns of The Banner with those of the Constitution or any morning daily, it will be seen that we are seldom left on an item of news, un less it happens at a late hour at night. We receive daily papers from all the large cities of the country, and our facilities for getting news is unsur passed. Id fact, The Banner is of ten ahead of its cotemporaries. But we do not propose to stop here, but will give Athens an organ of which onr citizens can lastly boast.
