The Constitution says that two or
three more local campaigns in Atlan
ta will turn the town over and tear
it in two. From the reading of the
head notes and the length of the arti
cles on the question pro and con iH
Sunday’s Constitution, it looks as if
the psesent campaign would about
tear the city in two.
Gen. Henry R. Jackson replied in
an open and lengthy letter to Judge
'ihutmau’s “off hand” speech deliver
ered at the Thurman club some days
ago. It was an able defense of Ins
Macon speech and a clear exposition of
Southern Democratic principles.
Judge Thurman, in reply, apoligizad
for personal charges made upon the
General, and made a faint and brief
attempt to defend the views that be
expressed regarding the General’s
speech. In short, the Judge got cou
sideiable worsted.
The Des Moines Ministers’ Ass icia
tion recently indorsod the Republican
campaign document from their pulpits.
This is one of the charcteristice that
distinguishes the difference beuveen the
two parties. It is one of the under
lying principles of the Republican
party to unite Church and state poli
tics and every thing else under one
central bead. A gospel ministry (we
dont believe gospel is applicable to
Such ministers) that adheres to such
doctrines can never affiliate with the
Democratic party. The division ot
the Methodist Episcopal Church in
stances this.
OUR WASHINGTON' LETTER.
o
Washikgton D. C., Nov. 14, 1887.
General Spaiks, Commissioner of
the Genera] land Office, has Bt last
been called upon to resign after receiv
ing the severest reprimand ever ad
ministered by a superior officer to a
subordinate. He undertook to criti
cise Secretary Lamar’s decisions, and
to dictate to him how he should ad
minister the affairs of his department,
and the Secretary ia righteous indig
nation expressed in one of the sharp
est and most indignified letters ever
addiessed by one official to another,
in vvh ch he told the commissioner
that he proposed to administer the
Department according to law and pre
cedent. and in substance that tho Coni
missioner did not understand even
tne elernentry principles of law, clos
ed by saving “that it is due to an
orderly and decorous abministration ot
tho Government, to important public
interests, and the common cause con
fided to our hands by the President
that the Chief Executive should be al
lowed to choose a Secretary of the In
terior who will conform his adminis
tration to your opinions, or to appoint
a Commissioner ot Public Lands wlio
will administer his Bureau in harmony
of spirit and-concert ot action with
the Cnief of the Department.” The
Commissioner’s resignation has not
been handed in yet, but it is supposed
that he is engaged in writing it as he
has not been seen at ms office for sev
eral days-
Word has been received at the Navy
Department that Secretary Whitney
is still too ill to resume his duties. He
is at his home in New York, suffering
from nervous piostration, and the offi
cials at the Department do not expect
him back for several weeks
It is not generally known that there;
is in the Treasury Department a !
Bureau, to which is sent, by the Cut!-J
toms offeers of the Government, for
examination, a copy of every book,
pictorial or otherwise, imported into
the country, bef rc it is j ermittrd to
pass through the Cnrtoni House- In
qniry made at the Bureau discloses
the fact that a large number of books
ate refused admission every year on
the ground, that they are immoral and
demoralizing. The majority of such
books and pictures are from Paris, and
brought over only one or two at a
time, and in money value are quoted
high. Rome are however from China
anti a few from Germany. This com
paratively unknown Bureau of the
Department.in it is quiet wav. is doing
incalculable good to our country of
protecting its morals, by placing its
stamp of exclusion,upon such pictures
and litJi atme, os \ ould othei wise flood
our lan 1.
It is rumored in a semi official way
at the White House that tl\3 name ot
Secretary Lamar will he sent to the
Senate soon after it convenes for con
firmation as an associate Justice of
the United States Supreme Court, and
that Postmaster-General Vilas will
succeed him as Secretary of the Inte
rior. This hae been intimated before,
hut now there can be no doubt of it.
The President and the two a biuet
officers had a very lengthy confeience
only a few days ago, and it is believ
ed to have been in relation to the com
ing changes,
Ono Northern Man’s Idea of
the South,
Judge Tourgee, the author ot the
once famous "Fool’s Ertand,” is one
of the very few men who lias p. kind
word to say of Gen. Jackson’s Macon
speech. He thinks this speech is one
of the best things he has read since
Lee’s surrender. “Very many Nonh
ern men,” says he, “are fools, con
summate and ii remediable fools. 'I hey
are everlastingly proclaiming that (lie
South has accepted the arbitrament ot
the last argument ot kings, when
they ought to know, if they dont, that
they no nothing about the South and
veiy much less of the Southern peo
ple. Gen. Jackson’s speech is the
most truthful, the most manly utter
ance which has been given to the real
sentiment ot the people. I admire
him for it grea'ly. The people ot the
North do not understand the South
erners. They cannot understand, be
cause the Southerners are a people as
distinct and unique as two people can
be in somep articulars. They ate two
people, and always have been So ne
imagine that slavery was tlie cause
of the war. It was not. It was only
an excuse. The people of the South
have alwas demanded the soveingty ol
their Stales and they demand it yet
Logically and consistently they have
followed up that idea ever since the
revolution. They have character, in
dividuality and pride. They rs?e.it
interference with their affairs. Peo
ple talk of the dying out of the old
sentiment. It is all nonsense. The
South lias not changed, The North
lias changed a dozen times since the
revolution, hut the South does not
change like a weather cock. The
South is solid because it is a united
people, possessing some sentiment in
common sufficiently strong to keep
them solid. Why, look at their con
duct during the war. They wereunit
ed. In the North we were divided,
a id only by the skin of our teeth were
they dafeated, and conqured. They
submitted to peace and surrendered
only when the hope ot success had
vanished and they were suffering lor
the necessaries of life. The Ne.v
South, as it has been called, is only a
few Northern men, who have gone
there to make money. They welcome
capital. So does every people, and
they are right. The New South i
coming, however, and wlun it comes
the people of '.he whole world will he
able to recognize it without being told
They will show it by that individual
ity, competence and honesty which
the times aud noeus of country de
mands.

Did Not Want to Attend Church.
There is a girl named Leila Burgress serv
ing a life term in the Dade county coal
mines, the story of whose crime is somewhat
strango. Her father, JaineA Burgress lived
near Alartain, in the of the
State. He had two daughters, the youngest
of whom was Leila. About three years ago
he joined tho church, and became a reguar
church attendant. He was pained to see bis
two daughters, new grown to young woman
hood, did not care to attend the religious
services with the regularity that he did, and
whore all should have been concord the bit
terest kind of discord grew up. After a while
Burgioss told tho girls that a rivival was
about to open, and'that he expected them to
attend every service,and if they did not there
would be some body to whip. For three
mornings the girls failied to appear at the
“sunrise” meetings. On the fourth morning
Burgess pulled the girls out of bed and be-
J gan to chastise one of them severely. When
•he had beaten her into submission he began
on the other. Lelia, who wn3 the first one
chastised, slipped out of the room, procured
an ax, and with one stroke, buried the edge
of it in her father’s skull. Th* gash was five
inches long and penetrated the brain half an
inch. Afterwards the girl sat looking sullenly
ad the doad body of her father, oblivious of
the crowds which pressed in to behold the
scene of blood. She was convicted of the
highest grade of manslaughter, and took her
place among the convicts uncomplainingly,
merely saying that she would commit the
crime over again before she would be com
pelled to go to church so early in the morn
ing.—Bronwood Reporter.
