After a session of one hundred and
fifty days, the present term of tlie Isjr
islalnre lias closed. Two or three
oT the most important questions tliat
came before it, mot with no disposi
tion whatever. They are hard ones,
ft is trne. and no hlame ran he hardiv
attached to any member for desiring
to shtin the responsibility of acting
upon them. No aetion was taken
upon the claim of the lessees of the
State road for betterments. Perhaps
ft is bpßt to leave tins question for the
voice of the people as to whether
they want it sold or re-lonssed. The
convicts and lease system still remains
thefen )ty question and in a verv un
satisfactory state with the people,
hnt it is most reasonable to suppose it
will remain in’that condition till the
lease expires, which is a number of
years vet. A long and tedious in
vestigation was made of two of the
eair ps, hnt no forfeiture was declared.
P>nt ontside these qneatiocs, the legis
lature has done some good work.
7f there is anv thing that civil law
should gnard ns saered, it is a man's
own private affairs and business. It
f» retting qnite frequent that the po
lice officers in a number of Prohibi
tion towns and eitie® are not very con
siderate towards this right in thoir
yesl to make
offendor of the law. Sotpe or them
so flagrantly ahnss their authority as
♦o search a man in order to secure ev
idence against a “blind tiger.” and a
telpcrrnph dispatch (rom Atlanta fnr
nMies an instance of a negroe’s being
shot at for that purpose. We are for
Prohibition—every inch—hnt we can
not see it necessary to violate the car
dinal principles of the “rights of per*
sons"to inforce the law.
It cost nearly two thousand dollars
♦•» pnt thehnildiner and grounds of the
Piedmont Expostion in order. The
*et profit over the expenees is about
z fen thonsand dollars, which does not
rover the amount invested in the prop
ertv. Two hnndred and twenty
thousand i* a close approximation of
♦he until her of pepole who attended
♦he Exposition and Fair grounds du
ring the two weeks. The attendance
and gate receipts Tuesday and Wed
nesday were jnst ahont conn! to all
♦he other days together. Fnllv fifty
thonsand more people would have
attended bad accommodations been
provided.
Titah is making every effort prepar
atory to be admitted info the Union
as s Ft?t» at ilip next session of Con
gress. Mormons are not to be trusted,
and no territory should evei be per
mit ted to become a separate sovereign
ty of the Union as Tong as there is
arv roccible ebnpoe of its allowing
and legalizing polygamy. The satp.st
and wisest wav to deal with polyg
amy is to make it a crime throughout
♦he whole country, and amend the na
tional constitution so ns to give the
■federal conrts power to suppress it
Utah mnst wait until this is done.

Almost every Republican who has
returned from traveling in Europe re
ports that thongh Mr. Blaine is in
fetter health than tor ten vp»r. he
will not be a candidate for the Repub
lican nomination in 1888. He has
perbapa despaired of ‘lie success of
his party in that election, and does
pot wish to saerifire whatever political
ambition he may yet eherisTpin anoth
er final defeat.
■President Cleveland is now a» home;
he is glad, and so is every bodt else.
During the three weeks of his journey
he traveled four thonsand and five
hnndred miles, passed through seven
teen Btaies, and was seen by millions
of .American citizens— variously '
ttjisnated from cue to Jive prill ion.
The AhhoM-Candler sensation
•
which overtired in Nashville, two or
more vveeke ago, lias not reached its
end vet. The Rev. Dr. Kelley, of the
M. E. Church, South, of the eitv pub
lished an anomyrnouß and lengthey
letter in the American denouncing the
Rev. Mr. Candler in general and
sweeping terms and upholding the
aetion of Miss Abbott in every respect
lie charges Mr. Candler as being igno
rant, unlearned, and not worthy of the
ministerial rebes ho wears nor the ti
tle of scholarship he carries, and
speaks of the modern drama in nn
qualified terms of approval tie never
gave his real name until demanded by
Mr. Candler, and then it wss after
some delay. The Methodist ptess,
Booth, and its highest official min
isters, very much regret the condition
of affairs the matter caused, and unit
edly refuse to permit the m after to be
mentioned or discussed irorn the pul
pit or in anv dedicated house of wor
ship. Bitch a comae is more than
wise, for the ministry could not ’afford
to let the teachings of the gospel down
with the caviling of the world and
to advertise an actress. But the dis
patch was wrong in intimating that
the members of the MoKendree church
applauded Miss Abbott when she arose
and rebuked the pastor. The official
members met last Sunday and passed
a resolution sustaining the aetion of
tlieir papfor. Tbe venerable Bishop
McTyre was present, and not only sus
tained the action of tbe pastor, but eu
logized bis position in the highest
terms. He closed his remarks by ex
pressing his grief and astonishment
that any “eminent divine” could
write the article that appeared in the
American, and asked, “Can it ho pos
sible that he waR a Methodist.”
There are numbers who attended
the Exposition at Atlanta that regard
it somewhat in the light of a failure.
It is entirely otfcterwise with those
who are so situated hr to comprehend
ts magnitude and who are conversant
with the manufactured and natural
products of the section represented
Considering the time—one hundred fif
ty da^s-— in which the Exposition was
gotten upland
country it intended to represent, snch
a magnificent and brilliant snecess in
its Tine has never occurred. There is
olny one failure about it, and that is,
that it could not he continued two
weeks longer. The rain and immense
corwds there on Tuesday and Wed
nesday prevented everything’s being
seen hr it would otherwise have been.
Of course, the President was a “card”
on those days, and we would suggest
that the next time he and his wife, or
anv other President and wife come to
Georgia, that they have a “Tittle expo
sition” of their own, and let people
who want to look at them not he in
the way of those who wish to see
themselves—the products of their own
section of country.
President Jeff Davis left for Macon
to attend the Fair and the re-nnion ot
the confederate venterans Tuesday
night. It will he a grand, glorious
time and meeting among the old vet
erans and between them and ffieir
chieftain. We cannot help envying
their laurel® and the undying honors
they hear. The mention of those he
roes, the privations they endured, and
the unparalleled struggle they made,
will cause to vibrate a chord in ‘lie
loyal Southern hemt. thaty«moro for
heaven than for earth. We “tVisli wp
were at Macon when he arrives, and
we would Join in giving the old hero
snch a welcome hnrtah that out lungs
would be only fit for breathing for a
month.
Mr, Gladstone is still the central
figure and power in English polities.
He is the leader on Home RnV policy
for Ireland. TTis present tour through
the principal cities in England awak
ens as great, or greater enfhnsiarm
among the people as the just complet
ed one of onr chief magistrate among
The people of this country. But it
is not go mcnli because Mr. Gladstone
bas grown more*popular. but because
bis borne rule policy and democratic
reforms address themselves more gen
erally and forcibly to tbe hearts of the
English people.

A special from Chattanorga to the
Atlanta (’onstitution savs that a
wealthy syndicate has purchased twen
ty thousand acres of iron ore land in
Walker county and have options on
several thousands more. It states
that a railroad will he built from the
imn nvp section to Clnttanooga am]

’Ostler Joe,
I stood at ere, ns the .--ini went down,’by a
jrrave where n woman lies.
Who 1 urp<l men’? pool? to the shore? of sin'
■with the light of her Wanton eyes,
Who sane the son? that the siren sang on the
treacherous l.nriey height.
Whose fneo was as fair as a summer day, and
whose heart was as black as night;
Yet a blossom T fnin would nlneV to-day,from
the garden above her dust—
Not the longerons lily of soulless sin, nor the
Mood-red rose of Inst :
But a sweet white blossom of holy love, that
grew in one green spot
In the arid desert of Phryne's life, where all
was parched and hot.
In the summer, when the meadows are aglow
with the blue and red,
Joe, 'Ostler of the Magpie, and fnir Annie
Smith were wed.
Plume was Annin, plump and pretty, with a
cheek as white as snow :
lie was anything hut handsome, was the
Magpie’s ’Ostler Joe.
llu*. he won the handsome lassie. They’d a
pottage and a cow,
And her matronhood sat lightly on the vil
lage hennty.s brow.
Sped the month? and came a baby, such a
blue-eyed baby Toy !
Joe was working in the stables when they
told him of his joy.
lie was rubbing down the horses, and ho
gave them then and there
AM a special feed of clover, jnst in honor of
the heir.
It had been his great ambition, and lie told
the horses so,
That the fate? would pend a baby who might
bear the name of Joe.
Littio Joe, the child was christened, and
like hnliies, grew apace.
He’d his mother’s eves of azzure and hi?
father’s honest face.
Swift the happy years went over, years of
blue nnd cloudless sky,
Love was lord of that small cottage and the
tempest passed it by.
Passed them by for years, then swiftly hurst
in fury o’er their home.
Down the lane by Annie’s cottage chanced a
gentleman to roam ;
Thrice ho came nnd saw her sitting by the
window with her child,
And he nodded to the baby, and the baby
laughed and smiled.
So ot last it grew to know him, —little Joe
was nearly four :
He would call the “protty gemplin,” as he
passed the open door:
And one day he ran and caught him, and in
child’s play pulled him io :
And what the baby Joe prayed for brought
nbeut. the mother's sin.
’Twas tbe tame old wretched story that for
eges birds hove sung,
*Twa3 a woman weak and wanton, and a vil
ian’s tempting tnngne ;
'Twas a picturo deftly painted' for a silly
creatnre’s eycs>
Of the Babylonian wonders and the joy hat
in them lies.
Annie listened and was tempted, she Was
tempted and she fell,
As the angels tell from heaven to the black--
est depth of hell :
She was promised wealth and pplotdor nnd a
life of guilty sloth,
Yollow gold for child and husband and the
woman left them both.
Horn, hn'• ero ottne .Tim-, (ftp ’OeffVr, with n
eherrv cry of “wife!”
Finding that which blurred forever all the
story of his lifo,
She had lett a silly letter—through the cruel
scrawl he spelt,
Then he sought the lonely bed-room, joined
his horny hands and knelt.
“New, 0 Lord, 0 God, forgive, for she ain’t
to blame.” he cried,
“For I owr’t to seen bei*\foublo and ‘gone
awny on d
Why, a wench like her—(led bless her—
twasn’t likely her’d rest
With that hony head forever on an ’ostler’s
ragged vest.
“It was kind ’n her to hear withTme all the?
long and happy time,
So,for my sake.pleaso to hies? her,though yon
count her deed a crime :
If so he I don’t pray proper, Lord, forgive
me. for you sec S'
1 can talk all right to 'ossos, but I’tj'nervous
like with The.”
Ne’er a line came to the cottage from the w<T
man that bad flown : f,
Joe, the baby, died that winter, and the man
wns left, alone.
Ne’er a hitter word he uttered, but in silence
kissed the rod.
Saving what he told the horses, saving what
he told his God.
Far away in mighty London rose’ the woman
Into fame,
For her heantv won man’s homage nnd she
prospered in her shame.
Quick from lord to lord she flitted,higher still
enoh prise she won.
And her rivals paled beside her as the stars
beside the sun.
Next she made the stage her market, nnd she
dragged art’? temple down
To the level of a show place for the outcasts
of (he town.
And the kisses she had'given poor ’Ostler
•Toe for naught
With their gold and costly jewels rich and
tilted lovers bought.
WcDt the years, with flrinv footsteps while
the star was at its height.
Then tbe darkness came on swiftly, and the
gloamin g turned tonight.
oTiattcred strength and faded beauty, tore the
laurel? from her blow ;
Of the thousands who had worshipped never
one came near her now.
Broken down in health and fortune, men for
(fol her verv name,
’Tilt the new? that she wns (lying woke the
eohoos of her fame.
And the pnpers in their gossip mentioned
how an “*etre?s” lay
Pick to Aoa*h in humble lodgings, growiug
weaker every dsy.
i One thero was who read the story in a far off
eonnfrv risen,
I And that right the dving womsn woko ana
l looked rnon his faee,
Onee Spain the strong arms clasped her that
had clasped her long ago.
And the weary head Jay pillowed on the breast
of 'Ostler Joe
AH the past has he forgotten, all the sorrow
and tr e shame.
He had found her siek and lonely and his wife
he now could claim.
Since (he grand folks who had known her
one and nil had sunk away.
He eonld clean his long lost darling, and no
man could say him nay.
Tn his arms death fonnd her lying, in his
arms her spirit fled ;
And hi« tear* cam" down in torrents as he
knelt he«idc the dead.
Never oner bi« tore bad faltered through her
bod unhallowed life.
And tbe store above her ashes bore the hal
lowed nCcie of wife.
That’s the h1o?«om T fain would pluck to-day j
in tbe garden above her dust.
Not tbe longeron? li’v of sou Mess sin, nor the
1d..0d-red ro. of lust,
But a swvet while blossom ofhuly love that
grew in one green spot
In the arid desert of Phryne’s life where all
was parched and hot.
[Washington society was recently
all in a flatter about tbe action ot Mrs
James Brown Totter in rending 1 lie
proceeding poem of Geo. R. Sims’ at a
private enteitiiimnent given at tbe
iionre of Secretary Wbitney. Tbe po
em has frequently been recited in pub
lic, ami. passed without criticism, yet
tbe action of Mrs, Totter iu reading it
under tbe circnmstaces she did may be
questionable. It teaches a great moral
lesson, though the sequel (in part)
seems neither human nor divine.l
