Irom Knrwpe, last week. rills is the best week's record for i In- same period for many years. The democrats have introduced in the House a separate bill forhiding the em ployment of troops at elections. Tin* Kcptiblleans propose to amend it . I’lte North does not upbraid tin*. South ern politician- lievansc the latter seek control of the foderat government; Inti because it is sought in a ect ional spirit and for sectional purposes. Infuse into • hem the nalionai spirit of Washington •r Jefferson and the North will rejoice mi their supremacy. I lie New \ o.k Situ thinks lhe democ itacy lack- hack bone. “It preferred • peace (o civil war when Tilden was re tired and now that Hayes comes menac ing! v to the front it liegins to cower." So far the party proves itself cmiserva ) i ve. I tie Horn lions say that the negro ex odus is mu caused by the maltreatment ••f that race, that the thousands already gone and the. thousands on the move re ceive their inspiration from the north, from Witidom. Ingalls and other*. Ui lhe cotiirury, if the negro race in the I niiotl Stales, possesses moral and in lellcctu.ral capacity titling it for freedom tnd civilisation, then the inspiration, is from a higher am tree and I lie race, is taking the tide at it- flood which now or never will bear it on to prosperous di-l inetiou. “We will ooj lie governed bv the ne gro" say* t>ie New Orleans Plnitimnr . " Tin* tiegfh* must be governed by ns." This will do very well in New Orleans and in all Ihe roast region of the. South. There, it seems proper, that the few in telligent whiles should govern tin* ne gro: Inti it Is not right that these few whites, control mg flic negro vote, should emit rol the w hite vote of the northern section of the South. It would look too much like subordinating the Southern Static to verv small rings of organ i/.**d I riekster*. I‘huruoh ha* no army to stop the Afri can exodus.

Georgia. Thursday, may >. ist-.k , i Inasmuch as religion was rudely mixed up with the late political canvass in this distrlM we copy the following psirtiul exposition of w hat i- generally know n as infidelity from a recent dis course of Key.('. Giles of the Sweden borg ia n church. It will he seen that ihe Sin of Scepticism, as represented by designing or zealous bigots is nothing more than an honest inquiry after l rnth.J Skepticism lias increased with the in crease of know ledge, freedom in the ex ercise of the intellectual faculties. When man begins to look about him lie discovers that law , order, and the nicest adjustment of means to end- every \\ here prevail'. The further his knowl edge extends, and the more accurate It become*, the more clearly he -ees this constant presciA-e and immutability of law . As this process goes on, lie cares less for opinion and more for truth. His concent to know what i- increases, and to learn w hat, is said diminishes. When he discovers that any doctrine or theory,however w idely it may be accept ed, contradicts established fact* or well known laws, or only partly accounts for them, begins to doubts his truth, lie cannot help it, A a true 'knowl edge of nature increased, men became skeptical about the old notions and the ories relative to the universe. One af ter another ha* been discarded, until there is hardly a vestige of the old be liefs remaining among intelligent men. The praei ice if looking about us and scrutinizing beliefs cannot he arrested. It must extend into every domain of hu man thought. The doctrines that relate to the spirit, as well a* the. body, to God as well as to man, will he subjected to the sharpest examination, and will stand or fall according to their ability to stand the test ofenligTilened reason. The old doctrine in regard to lhe Ho ly Scriptures was that they were liter ally true and inspired and holy in every word. So long as men knew nothing about astronomy or geology there was no 'eienl#e dilttcnlfy in the way of be lief. But w lieu these, sciences became known human opinion underwent a great change, and it was demonstrated tn every intelligent mind that some of the .statements in the. Bible could uol,J>e literally true. .Many mind* were start led a> from a profound slumber by rlie discovery tliat the v\ orld could not have been created in six days of t vveiily-four hours, and many inetfectnal efforts were made to disprove tin* conclusion or to shield tin 1 doctrine of verbal interpre tation from attack. These ett'orls were vain. The doubt* extended to other parts of tin* Bible, and the doctrine of inspiration ha* been greatly modified. Throw discedit upon one point of a doc trine and you a waken doubts about eve ry other point.

One being, whether divine or mortal, cannot be three beings. 'The mere statement of'iieii a doctrine ex iit cs doubt, it may lie called a mystery it may be taugltt l*y the authority of the Clinch, and the mind may give a formal assent to it. But it is not a mys tery; it is a contradiction, and tin* en lightened mind rejects it. ’The more closely the principles of justice and mer ev are studied the more clearly it is seen that if is notjnstiee, but injustice, to punish the innocent for flic guilty. No court in the world would follow the doctrine of vicarious atonement in ad ministering punishment. To condemn tin* innocent son of a murderer tod%ath and to let the guilt v go free, would be the greatest possible outrage on justice and Immunity. The doctrine has under gone many changes to meet the demands of intelligent conception of justice,and these changes must continue until a doctrine of human salvation is gained that will stand the rest of reason and humanity. 'The sense of justice and the more humane feelings revolt against the old arbitrary and cruel doctrine concerning the punishment of sin in a hell of unmitigated and endless tor ment. ’There Is o proportion between the crime and the punishment. THE COMMITTEE OF WAYS AND MEANS in Coni/rexs, W e see from the Record that our im mediate Representative is placed on the first committee of Congress in tin* House of Representatives. The best minds ot both parties are by long custom conceded that, place. Oc casionally their is something granted to personal friendship, hut. as a rule the Speaker gives the places on the first committee in rank to the clearest, brain.* and tiuesi intellects in the House. Randal Gibson represents tlie Sugar interests of the South, on that commit tee. It is granted that Felton is int rust ed with the rice and cotton interest's. .Mills of Texas is also from the cotton hell, Virginia and KcnMickcy ha* some able men to stand by the Tobacco i itwr esfs in the coming tariff bill. \\V are pleased that Mr Randall has promoted our Representative to this po sition. We rhink we are sate in saying, be will merit the confidence of the Speaker, and v\illtUl the ev perdition of t lie count rv ar large. On tlie committee of commerce l>r. Felton’s work was more or less eon lined to tin* River' of Georgia. He lia' done his full duly to I lie Rivers of hi* district and the State, and we are eon vineed I hat the praise of “organ ized" .lonrnals would have been lavish. if an v ot her man from Georgia bail done * * • so much to build up the material inter ests of Georgia. For instance, lie was the instrument in securing to Savannah liarhnr one hundred thousand dollars the winter just past. Mr. Hart ridge a bill introduced .

Nut one that ever met on/r eye. On the con trary, the Savanmill News excelled its usual. attacking Felton: aiulJbier a l irade abuse. and This ha- nothing to do with hi- work on the committee of commerce howev er. He does not work for the commen dation of Ring papers, nor is he dele red from it is duty by their unfair abuse. We are pleased u* wo said before tltni, In*has a wide field for bi> talent* and we are sure Georgia will find that sbe can step to the front on the Wavs and means ('ommitfee and hold up her repu tation as the empire State of the South in the faithful service of one of her truest, and ablest men—M m. H. Felton of the 7tli Geo, District. T'.VttMhlt.

He. lias just, donated 20,000 acres of land in Wisconsin to the fleeing negroes who are too luzv to work in Louisiana. He says he gives the land and now leaves it to others to prove their zealous faith hy starting the freed men, and providing them with means for utilizing the offer he ha* made. A bill providing for the levy of a |m>l] tax in Missouri lias been ordered to en grossjupnf-iuy-'re"Senate. The fax applies to all male person* under seventy and over tyventy-one years of age, and if tlie bill become* a law. will be included in the rax bills of 187 U and 18W. The proceeds of this special levy are first to be applied to the payment of outstand ing revenue bonds and temporary loans and the residue to the building fund of the new insane asylum. THE KEELY MOTOR. Almost.simultaneously with the an nouncement. of the.patents issued to Mr. Edison iw eonneetioH yvith his invention ot mean* of practically applying the electric light, some very remarkable- ac emint' comes ton* from Philadelphia tM regard to the completion of the ,‘Keel.v motor." 'Theseaccounts—the New York Worhl gives film; ooluinns and a balffo the subject, and tiie Philadelphia Press nearly as much more—are to the efliect that Mr. Keely lias found out how to “generate" anew •force,’ which, by the. 'iuiple introduction of a-quart.of water into bis apparatus and t urning of a crank, develops a power of twenty-live thousand pounds to the square inch. Ibis force is represented as being prac tically inexhaustible, and it drives bni let' (according t the yvitnessesHhrough a steel-plate and twelve inches of pine-, plank. Mr. Keely has also “iuyen terl.’ in thr* shim* connection, a“y ibra toi) engine,’’which is ciaimed to aj>- ply and render of practical service his new force, and some very wonderful things are told of llii* machine. Mr. y is said to be backed by some capi talists who are known to have made their money by tin* employment of knoyyn forces in a practical and econo mic way. Astothe unknown force nutil ir should become better known— it "ill perhaps be advisable for careful investors to wait before they comprom ise themselves by investing t<, o heavily.
