It is not owing to deception
that the negroes are emigrating,
hut to the political, social and nn
tural incongruity of two distinct
races in a free government.
The style is dear, free from all
useless berhiage and employed
only ns the medium of thought,
and thought not unworthy of the
maturest intellect. We commend
the essay on freedom of con
science io he found in another
page of this paper.
In theory a Republic is a gov
eminent hy the people. In prnc
lice it is a government in which
parties, tired hy the love of money
and of power, instincts of the lui
man mind, contend for the eon
trol of its administration and
which invariably perishes in the
selfish conflict.
The debate in < 'ongress on tlie
appropriation bill. saddled with
the repeal of iln* test oath ami
supervision of elections, lias as
slimed a hitter seetioiial hostility,
the republicans charging a south
era pur post of revolution and an
attempt to -ei/e the government.
Polities an* getting animated.
The -Ishinaelite" of Sparta,
tieorgia, says “its hand is against
every humbug: and every hum
bug is against it." Well, it is in
a bad way. Its enemies occupy
all material and all animated na
ture. it will find humbugs jo all
the forms and orders of social ex
istenee and finally, fortune may
teach it. in commending the* ha
lice of ashes to its lips. that, in
view of its earthly hopes and a>
pirations. it has been, front hist
to last, a victim of humbugs.
Wage no war on humbugs! Man
delights in them as the source,
however illusory, ol most (bat is
pleasurable, and learn.

The following paragraph from
the Marietta b'h'hj and Ki)'('*')th
is decidedly pie- ant news:
•‘The (fraud Jury of Bartow, a
county largely Independent, re
commended their presentments
to he published in the Indepen
deni and Organized papers at
half rates."
■hist, to think of a grand jury,
•largely Independent,” forget
ting its partisanship long enough
to give (lie readers of two papers,
both weekly, the same udvanta
ges. Should not that grand jury
“largely Independent,” have no
lotions praise and praiseworthy
notoriety for making such a re
commendation ! The Field and
Fireshh does not say whether it
approves or disapproves of the
action of the grand jury. We do
emphatically give them credit
for doing just as the grand juries
of Klovd county which are “large
ly” organized, have been doing.
They have been dividing between
three papers in order to gel the
presentments before a> large a
number of readers as possible.— j

(Ittr New York Letter.
New York. March 2Sih. 1579.
Telegraphy has been so long in
universal use throughout eivili
zulion. imd its existence' and
methods are taken so much as
matters of course, that probably
but few people realize that the
science is yet almost in itsinfau
ey. Recent experiments are said
to have opened tip vast possjhili
tie- in the direction of improve
incut and it is even claimed that
a great deal has already been
practically accomplished. A
company has just been formed
here with a large eapital toestab
li'li lines m competition with
those already existing between
the great cities—an enterprise so
costly and so difficult that noth
ing but some vast improvement
could justify attempting it. The
managers of the new company
state that by their plan they con
tidently expect within three
years to be able to telegraph or
dinaiy business letters to and
from Ml parts of the country, at
about ten cents apiece. They
claim that bv virtue of their new

Thai was a unique entertain
ment w hich was given h£ a prom
inont member of the Roosevelt
family the other evening, and
christened by the host “a pot luck
picnic.’’ The distinguishing clia> -
acteristic of the affair was tlun
all its viands were stijiposerl to
have been prepared by the ladies
and gentlemen present. The
card" ol" invitation stated that
‘ any guest: feeling within herself
or himself lift* divine confidence
o cookery, is requested to sup
pjv the dish in which he or she ex
cels.” In several cases, the re
cipient of the invitation was in
formed of Ihe nature of the eat
able which he was expected to
provide. The result was a tr"
umphanl success. The company
was large, dist inguislied. and hun
gry. and each course was natural
ly the object of the liveliest j„
forest.
Mr Roosevelt himself contrib
uted a sublime lisli chowder, Mrs
J. G. (Voly (“Jeny June’’), I’resi
dent of Sorosis, a noble plum
pudding, Clara Morris a ravishing
peach custard, Joaquin Miller
made the coflee, ex-Mayor Ivy
officiated as a sort of chief cook,
and various other lesser notabil
ities laid toothsome offerings up
on the gastronomic’ altar. The
whole affair was such a novelty
and such a success that it is like
ly to set a very pleasant and en
joyable fashion.
TRYING t \i,xi voi:.
Aflera good deal of prelimi
nary palaver the Brooklin Pres
bytery have got down to woik
on Brother Talmage’s case, and
are now trying the celebrated
pulpit contortionist with as much
gravity as the subject will admit.
Ihe indictments found against
the reverend athlete charge him
with falsehood and deceit and
with a lack of reverence for sa
cred things, as displayed in his
public ministrations. Whatever
may be the fate of the former
count, there should be no rea
sonable doubt of the result on
the latter charge, for not even the
most violent scoffers at religion
treat church service with much
less respect than the pastor of
I lie Tabernacle. <)f course there
is no hope of permanently sup
pressing Mr. Talmage, but still
the proceedings may not be with
out their use.
The excitement in municipal
politics, some details of which I
gave last week, still rages. Tam
many, after a few days of omi
nous quiet has declared open war
with Mayor t’ooper. and a long
struggle is likely to follow.
