How to Make a Popular Paper
The inimitable Bag by, of the Lynchburg
Virginian, has at last found out the way
to make a popular newspaper. Why, wo
found that out long ago, and that's the
reason the Ehtoniclc & Sentinel is so ex
ceedingly popular. The Doctor thus din
courscth:
The way to make a popular paper, is to
pitch iq. But it must be no ordinary,
weak, wishy-washy pitehiug in. It must
boa furious, fiery, rearing, tearing, rip-
Hiiortiug, sky cavorting and earth-bursting
pitching in. You must rant, roar, howl,
yell, bellow, buwl and finally blow an aw
ful, uncommon, unending and exasperat
ing blast. You must shout, shriek, sneor,
snigger, sneeze and eventually snarl.—
Revile, calumniate, repudiate, excoriate,
appropriate, castigate und even antedate, i
Nickname, nastily, knock down, drag out, J
dig him in the ribs, and hit him in the i
eye ball him. Grab him, grip him, grin
at him, gouge him, grit your teeth at hi;u
(whoever he may be),u»c him, abuse him,
and at length do him bad unanimously.
Above all rear, rile, rip, zip, flip, gnash,
gush, gander-pull and gradually chaw up,
spit out and stamp him to death. Wo
have failed to do this. Next week, we
shall open actively und appallingly upon
old Wells.
From Texas.—We make the following
extract from a lettef received front one of
uur subscribers, in Smith county, Texas.
It gives a cheering account of the crop
prospects in that State :
JamksTuwn, TkxAh, July 28, 1888.
Amidst our JNitUoual troubles wo have
something to ohoer us. We have the
promise ot a year qf plenty. Corn erops
are good, and, with the amount of old corn
in tne country, it will bo remarkably
cheap. Many planters of tfus oounty have
old corn sufiiuient for a year’s supply. It
will not bo worth more than twenty-five
cents per bushel, it is a universal remark
among planters that they never saw better
pro-peels lor a cotta u crop. The w eed is
remarkably fine and fqtl of fruit, it’ tho
cotton worm docs not appear very soon a
heavy crop is certain. Freed men, with
lint lew exceptions, have worked well.
The season has tv on very favorable for
cultivating the crops. Vs% have a fine
must and fruits of all kinds peeuliarto the
climate, (trapes are very abundant in
tho forest. The culture of vineyards will,
at no distant day, be a business of great
profit in this country. Any ono visiting
this State, under suuh l'avorab.o auspices
as the present, would be sure to be well
pleased. The present year t,ns been one
of remarkable health. Under all these
Pivotable eirett instances, united with
strong hopes of a Radical defeat, we are
holding up our heads very cheerfully.
Vigorous efforts are being made in many
pares of the country to insure a triumphant
success in the coming contest. It per
mitted to vote Texas will tell a good re
port in the November election. All well
pleased with the nomination. Are Un
people of old Georgia alive to the interest
of the present crisis ? Arouse them !

Heavy Freights over the Georgia
Railroad. —We loam that one hundred
loaded oars of down freight were received
by the Georgia Railroad in this city for the
twenty four hours ending at G o’clock on
Friday, i tth in.-t. This does uot include
the up Ireight, which wo believe is also
very heavy. The above is a remarkable
run of freight, and 'indicates that the
Georgia Road is flourishing under its pres
ent very efficient management.

Warehouse and Commission Mer
chants.—We invite attention to t'no card
of Messrs. Stovall k Kdmondsion, in
another column. They will c.iiitiuu?
business it their old stand, No. 1 Warren
Block, where they will give prompt at
tention to all business in their liue.
E. P. Clayton & Cos. —We invite at
tention to the card of this house in this
morning’s paper. The tirui is widely
known as one of the oldest and most ener

they will associate with them in business,
Mr. C. S. Bradford, the tirm remaining as
before. They wdl be found at the okl
stand, corner Campbell and Reynolds
streets, where they will, as formerly, give
prompt attention to all busiuess.
Heavy Freights Continued.—There
is an immense business in through freight
on the Georgia Railroad. To morrow
(Monday evening, four trains, besides the
way freights, will leave Atlanta for’Augusta.
Yesterday evening sixty-six ears left At
lanta for Augusta heavily loaded with
through freight. The freights are so
heavy and are accumulating so fast that :t
was neees-ary Saturday to telegraph to
Augusta for all the engines and ears that
could be spared to .-end them up the road.

Delightful Music.--Music at midnight,
after one has retired from the editiorial
cares auJ labors of the day. is sweet and
soothing. It makes an editor almost forget
his troubles aud responsibilities, iu the
pleasures and solaoe which it gives. So
we thought as we listened to the delightful
music of a serenade from the Amateur
Musical Ciub. For this serenade we £»e
our thanks, and tender them to the Club
with our best wishes for its individual and
collective success and prosperity.
Belief.
We receive letter* front every portieu of
i the State approving the suggestion which
j we recently made on the subject of Relief,
j This is a question of great moment with
I the people, and it cannot with safety be
I entirely ignored by the Democratic party
jtn the present canvass. Thousands of
> good men throughout the State arc so
l hapel ssly and irretrievably involved with ,
: ante helium indebtedness that they cannot
j fee induced to support any party that (
l refutes to consider their daunt for relief |
t <Jur associations and connection with the ,
j people enables ns to form a very fatr esti- i
I mala of public opinion on this subject.
I Wherever wo go wo are mat with this
I question: “What do you propose to do ,
I tor the relief of the people t It is the j
| thought uppermost in the minds of thou
s mds of our very best citizens. It must be
met, and met frankly and fairly by the
Georgia Democracy. ,
The following letter, received from one j
of the best and pares*, of our leading men
in Middle Georgia, reflects the sentiments
of scores of citizens who, like the writer, j
do not, need relief! At the risk of dis
plea-ing our friend, who forbids the publi
cation of bis note, we give to the public the
main points of his communication. We
are giad to learn that such able and tried
statesmen as Hill, Cobb and Toombs,
neither of whom belong to the debtor eiass, j
are in deep sympathy with our oppressed ,
and overburdened debtors. Those gentle- j
men, or either of them, can frame a law ;
which, while meeting the requirements of I
the people, will not conflict with the Con- !
stitution'of the United States or violate the 1
good faith of individual contracts. But
let us return to the letter, whxdi is as fol
lows :
Lexington, August l-f, 1888.
Dear General: * * * * We had a
glorious rally of the Democracy of ■ thi-i
and adjoin trig counties on Tuesday last,
llili, Toombs and Cobb spoke to the large
crowd in the order nt.med. Mr. Ilili,
while discussing the treachery and latse
bohris of the Haris, afltuded to the trick of
“Relief," and while on that subject he was
in ikvor of an equltabl* constitutional
system of Relief, i see you are ont with
your , "opinion,' and the plan suggested
strikes me a* the best mode of accom
plishing that worthy object that has yet
been presented to tl.e putiiie. We all want
to carry Georgia for the Democracy, and
the way to make Democrats—to turn
every Southern man to a reliable support
er of Beyfnour and Blair—is to take this
argument out of the hands of the Radicals
by proposing anti advocating your system
of Relief. There are from 30 to 50,000 men in
(leorgia, who are so depressed and ruined
by the iate war, they will vote with any
party who they honestly believe will keep
them and theirs from, starvation. They
are not Radicals and have no sympathy
whatever with that corrupt and wicked
party. Xam a friend to tills class, hut feel
tor them justly from proper and pure
motives. I ;un able to pay nil my debts,
but there are scores ol my trjends w ho can
not, and they at e good men and conscien
tiously believe their creditors ought to
share a part of their losses. If this ques
tion is not managed wisely, tho Democ
racy may fail to carry the Slate this fail.
Press your system upon the public. Get
General Toombs, Xiill and Cobb to come
out ou this question. I heard yesterday
the two former were in favor of adopting
your plan or some other. Now is the
lime to take hold of this matter if we do
not the Rads will use it to our disadvan
tage. Yours, truly, ***.
The Fifth District.
A recent trip to the upper part of this
district furnished us with gratifying evi
deace of the activity of our party, and in
spired us with strong hopes that this
stronghold of Radicalism will be forced to
yield to the vigorous assaults which the
true men of the country are now making
upon its outposts.
The large negro majority in the district
no longer cheeks the ardor or blunts the
energies of our Democratic friends. They
have set to work resolutely and vigorously
to influence and control the black vote.
Clubs have been organized, and the colored
men duly enrolled in all the counties above
Richmond except a few. In Warren,
Wilkes, Lincoln, Elbert, Washington,
Burke, Columbia, and Oglethorpe the
finest feeling prevails between the races,
and hundreds of the black men have openly
taken ground ort the side ol their old mas
ters and friends.
In every locality where the whites have
taken the pains to advise with the negro
and enlighten his mind upon tho issues
involved, tho best results have followed.
We have not heard of a single instance
where the effort to establish a Democratic
club with the negroes has failed.
What are our Richmond county friends
doing? What is Augusta doing? Are
wo not more deeply interested in speedy
and effective organization here than in any
other portion of the district? Shall we
lie idly on our oars until the election i» on
us, and then wake up to find we are too
late i Now is the time for action—-for or
ganization. Shall we have it?
The Supreme Court—Judge Warner.
Some ofour Democratic exchanges are
urging the propriety of Judge Warner’s de
clination of the subordinate position to
which he has beeu appointed in the
Supreme Court of the State. We do not
agree with our ootemporaricj on this
point; we would like very inueli to have
Judge Warner continue on the Bench,
though wo agree fully in the opiuion that
he has been grossly injured and insulted
by having Joe Brown raised over him to
the seat of Chief Justice.
This is not a time, however, when honest
men and patriots should be too tenacious
upon points of etiquette, or even in some
cases of right. It will be a dark day for
Georgia when her Supreme Judicial tri
' butial is filled entirely with such creatures
as Brown, MeCayaud Walker. Doubt
: lessait would gratify Bullock and Brown
vary much if Judge Warner would resign,
for in that event poor Dawhe Walker
would be reinvested with his already bed
raggled Judicial robes. We trust that for
the sake of the whole people ot the State,
Judge Warner will waive all personal
feeling and accept the position.
The Prospect—Fifty Thousand Demo,
cratlc Majority In Georgia.
The accounts whioh wc receive from the
different portions of the State through our j
exchanges, private letters, and persona
observation, inspires us with the belief !
that the canvass is so tar progressing as
effectively, and with far greater prospects
of an overwhelming victory, than wo had
anticipated. The people everywhere are
fully aroused, and the work of organiza
tion is beit'g pushed with a vigor and en
thusiasm heretofore rarely witnessed in
the States The fifteen or twenty thousand
white voters who, seduced by the Malse
promise of relief, or frightened by the
silly bugbear of confiscation, voted with
the Radicals iu the late Gubernatorial
contest, are everywhere renouncing Radi
calism unit returning to the true faith.
The honest white men of Georgia are
proving, by their return <o the Demo-
cratic fold, that they cannot be twice
cheated by the thieving band of rob
bers and perjured scalawags who now
have control of the so-called executive and
legislative departments ot the State. They
were induced, in a moment o! weakness,
to abandon the faith of their fathers, but
their eye* have been opened to the infamy
of their late associates, and they are
deserting them by hundreds and thou
sands.
Side by side with those p rodigal sons of
the white race we find thousands of the
more honest and intelligent negroes march- j
ing boidiy to the rescue of Democratic |
principles and the restoration of constitu
tional government.
\Ye have aever known such sudden, ex- j
tensive aud overwhelming changes as have
been wrought within the last twenty days.
\Ve had calculated that, with the accession 1
Sos the ten or fifteen thousand white votes
disfranchised by the Military Bills, and the
i certainty of a free election and an honest
count of the ba lots, we should carry the
State by fifteen or twenty thousand major
ity. But the current of changes has set
1 so strong with the Democracy—the de
inoisihutiou of the Radicals is so complete
—the organization of the Democracy so
1 perfect—that if our friends continue their
exertions to the end of the campaign with
| only hall'the zeal and activity they now
manifest we shall carry the Stale by ,
i fyrty or fifty thousand majority for SEY
MOUR Aw. Blair !
This Ls no wild prediction. It is based
upon facts and figures wim-h a-sure us of
1 its approximate certainty. Let the .true
men of the country but will it, and it is
- already accomplished. Let every man
! work, in season and out of season, from
| now until the Ist of November, and we
[ shall have no fear* that we may he forced

Funny Forney.
Since the defeat of the infamous trick
of the carpet-baggers in Alabama to de
prive the people of that State of the
privilege of voting for Presidential Elect
ors, an l the universal scorn and obloquy
which has been poured upon the Radical
party for this atrocious attempt to defeat
the popular will in the late seoeded States,
Forney has found tvn good reasons which,
he thinks, should influence his Radical
friends at the South to adhere to their de
teraunatioo to stifle public sentiment and
gag the popular voice. Ia tho Press of
the 12th instant he labors to show that
the choice of Electors should be made by
the Legislatures, because
"i-ucli an election would involve heavy
expen-es, and Alabama is without a
Treasury.
“No lair election could be held now,
since Mr. Johnson has so strengthened
the hands and resuscitated the,passion- of
rebellion. Fores and fraud would prosti
tute the ballot-box, and its suppositious
verdict would lie a crime against liberty.”
Funny Forney—he who saved go much
of the dear people’s money while Secretary
of the Senate—would save the poor, im
poverished people of Alabama the expense
of an election, by clothing the Legislature
with the power to select Electors. But
the funny fellow is not only anxious to
save the money of Alabamians, but the
virtuous dog would preserve them from
the possibility of having the election car
ried by force and fraud. These two latter
forces are marvellously proper when used
by Radical thieves and plunderers, but
honest Forney is horrified at the thought
that Southern rebels may have learned,
from Radical teachings and actings how
elections may be carried in the interests of
good government by these same forces.

Large Meeting In Lincolnton.
Able Speeches from Major Cumming,
Gen Is Toombs and Wright—Great
Enthusiasm Among the People—The
Negroes Deserting Radicalism and Join
ing the Democracy*—Lincoln Will go
Democratic by a Large Majority.
Lincolnton, August 14. 18G8.
Chronicle <£> Sentinel; The Democracy
of Lincoln had a grand mass meeting at
at this place yesterday. Notice had been
given that General Toombs, Major Cum
rning, General Wright and other cham
pions of the Democratic cause would be
here to address the people, and before
eleven o’clock the quiet village of Lincoln
ton was alive with the busy throng which
poured in from ail sections of the county.
At the appointed hour the several Dem
ocratic Clubs of the county met in County
Convention in the fine grove near the
Church, and after organizing a Central
County Club and the selection of proper
officers, a series of resolutions were read
and passed, cordially ratifying the action
of the National and State Dt?mocratic
Conventions and pledging old Lincoln for
a handsome majority for tho Democratic
standard bearers, Horatio Seymour and
Frank P. Blair.
After the meeting had finished the work
of organization, Major J. B. Ouiuming,
Democratic Elector for the sth District,
was introduced to the audience by C. R.
Strother, Esq., in a neat and appropriate
address. Major Cumming delivered an
able, eloquent and effective speech, in
which he reviewed and exposed in a mas
terly manner the wrongs and infamies of
the Reconstruction Acts, and showed that
the people of the South had not, either by
word or deed, given to the Radical Con
gress any excuse or justification for their
revolutionary and tyrannical legislation.
He paid a well-merited and glowing tribnte
to the fortitude, forbearance and manly
patience exhibited by the people of this
State during the trying hours of the last
three years while suffering under a system
of tyranny and oppression which would
have disgraced the annals of civilization in
the remote and darker ages of the world’s
history. He showed that the charges
which had been made against the Southern
people by 3tevens, Butler, Sumner & Cos.,
in order to justify or excuse their malig
nant ar.d despotic legislation against us, was
utterly false and uufounded, and proved
that no people have ever so fully complied
with the obligations assumed by the terms
of their surrender than those of the late |
seceded States.
I shall cot attempt to follow' Major C.
in his able and convincing argument. He
proved himself in every way worthy of
the distinguished position assigned him by
the State Convention, and I congratulate
the people of the District upon their good
fortune in having a champion fully able to
uphold tho standard and defend the prin
eiples of the great National Democratic
patty. He came here a stranger—he re
turns bearing with him the respect and
; confidence and esteem of all the good peo
ple of this county.
Major Gumming was followed by Gen.
Wright and Gen. Toombs, in the order
named. I wish I could give your readers
a synopsis of the powerful effort of Gen.
i Toombs. This was the first opportunity
he had of meeting his old friends in Lin-
I coin since the close of the war and his
presence here was greeted by rapturous ap
plause. He was always a tried and trust
ed leader of public sentiment in this county,
and hundreds of bis old friends came out
to-day, to bear once more the clarion nes
ofhis matchless eloquence. Although suffer
ing from hoarseness produced by speaking
the day before at Lexington, he made an ar
gument upon the iniquities of the Radical
Congress which will never be forgotten by
those who had the good fortuna to hear
him. His oratory has last none of the
force and power and fiery eloquence which,
more than a quarter of a ceutury ago, i
mailed him as one of the ablest orators j
of this or of any other age. The old fires of j
liberty burn as fiercely and shine as bright- ,
ly iu his patriotic breast now as in the days <
when bis fierce declamation and firery
eloquence swayed hsteniug Senates and
excited the wild enthusiasm of an ad
miring people. His wise and judicious
councils to the people, to stand tirm by the
faith of their fathers, met a cordial response
from the vast crowd who had forsaken
the farm and the shbp to catch the first
[ notes from his long exiled and since silent
but patriotic voice. His speech here to
day will do much good. It was most
emphatically the right speech at the right
time and from the right man. The Gen
eral's whole soul is in the canvass, and he
i assured the people to-day that he should
cheerfully devote all bis time and energies
to the suctsss and the present canvass, and
that he intended to address the people
t from the seaboard to the mountains upon
the great aud paramount questions now at
issue.
At thg conclusion of the speaking the
• crowd retired u, paziake of a magnificent
repast which had been provided by the
j lair hands of Lincoln's beautiful and lovely
! daughters. Here was spread before us all
that could exciie and gratify the appetite
.•of the most fastideous stomach. All par -
i took freely and fully, and"there was gather
t ed many baskets full when all had been
well filled. ”
1 The prospect here is most ehcering.
Many Democratic clubs have been organ
ized, and ii» every district in the county
the people aro at work. The negroes are
having their eyes opened, and hundreds of
them have already forsaken the Radical
i carpet-baggers and scalawags, and enlisted
under the banner of Seymour and Blair.
The best feeling prevails between the two
raoea. and they are working harmoniously
I together for the good of a common country.
l r cu may put down old Lincoln fora
rousing Democratic majority in November.

The War Between the States.
BY ALEXANDER 11. STEPHENS.
We have just risen from a perusal of the
great work of Vice President Stephens—
The War between the States—and a
masterly work it is. Indeed, a perusal of
it has led us unhesitatingly to the conclu
sion that it is ono of the grandest produc-
tions of the present or of any other age ;
and the friends of Constitutional liberty
not merely in the States lately known as
Confederate States —but in the North —
and Erst—and We3t—and in every other
land where friends of Constitutional liber
ty are found, owe to Mr. Stephens a debt
of undying gratitude for this masterly ex i
position, of that form of government estab
lished between the States constituting the ;
Uaited States of America. Only one vol- 1
ume of this great work is as yet given to 1
the world ; and the object o! its discus- I
sions is, first, to answer the question pro-, j
pounded to him by one of the characters
introduced into the book, how he— Mr. !
Stephens—after making what has been
known as his great Union speech delivered
before the Georgia Legislature in Novem
ber, ISfiO,against secession,could so earnest
ly maintain the cause of the seceded States
a tier-they bad withdrawn from he Uniop.
But to answer this great question, other
great* questions come up for discussion aud
settlement, such as, where does the citizen
owe allegiance, and what its the relation
sustained by tho States to the General
Government aud to one another?
A discussion of these subjects: led to an
exposition ot the real causes of the war,
and a vindication of the seceding States
iu the exercise of their indubitable right j
to wiilidraw irom the compact of the Union,
whenever, in their convictions of right,
it was their duty so to do. In seeking for
the causes which led to the mighty strug
gle that so long and so fiercely raged u pou
this continent —a struggle the consequences -
of which will descend to the latest genera- j
tionsormeu —Mr. Stephens, like a pro- j
found philosopher,looks beyond the imme- i
citato circumstances of tho times in which j
the conflict arosp, to those great antago-j
nistic sentiments and opinions respecting J
tho character of the Government and the j
relation of the States, which sentiments
and opinions have, from the very adop- j
tioo of the Constitution, divided the peo
ple of the land into two great, opposing
parties. We agree with Mr. Stephens in
the Sentiments fieexpresses in the iutrodue
tion to his book, respecting the agency
which slavery had in originating that ter
rible struggle. He conclusively shows that
slavery, in the abstract —slavery, per se
—though it has been made to play so
prominent a part in tho closing scenes of
the drama, was but an incident -a collateral
—a mere question, upon which those an
tagonistic principles _ which had been in
conflict from the beginning on divers other
questions were finally brought into actual
and active collision with each other upon
the field of battle. Those are superficial
observers of the course ot thmgsand shallow
readers of the past history of our country
and of the opinions of political parties, who
assume the postulate—that slavery was the
cause of the war. He very properly re
marks upon this subject that, the opposing
principles which produced these results in
physical action were of very different
character from those assumed in such a
postulate. They lay in the organic struc
ture of tho Governments of the United
States. The conflict in principle arose
‘from different and opposing ideas as to the
nature of what is known as the General
Government. The contest was between
those who held it to be strictly Federal in
its character and those who maintained
tliat.it was thoroughly na'icnal. It was a
strife between the principles of Federation
on the cr.e side and Centralism on the
other. The circumstances which attend
ed the composition ol his history naturally
led Mr. Stephens to a full and thorough
discussion of these underlying sub stratum
principles. His history is unique in one
particular, at the present day; at least as it
respects works of history or discussions in
philosophy, as he adapts the dialogue ‘or
colloquial form in advancing his views
upon the subjects which he discusses; but
this form, it must be admitted, gives life
and animation to his discussions and, by the
introduction of different characters into the
debate, he is enabled to give a kind of iu
dividuality to the different phases of
opinion entertained by the different parties
that have divided the country. This form
naturally harmonizes, too, with the object
he had in thecolioquial style; even in treat
ing of so grave a subject as the character
of Government, he has the example of those
great masters of antiquity, Plato and Cicero,
and though he does not adopt this form of
writing because of their examples, yet, as
he remarks, it was euough for him to
know that tho plan adopted hy him was
not without well-established precedents in
other ages and other countries.
Assuming certain characters as repre
sentatives of the dividing parties of the
country, by words which he puts into their
mouth, he sets forth the principles of those
parties, and in responding thereto, he
givc3 utterance to his own most masterly
views. This mode, too, Mr. Stephens tells
us, presents the truth of history in reference
to the work he has published. His ac
couot of it is as follows : In the early
part of 1867, while he was preparing mate
rials for this history, he was visited by
many former friends and acquaintances
from the North. Icwas natural that their
conversations should relate to the terrible
years of conflict which had just passed
away. Among the many visitors engaged
in these conversations and discussions ho
selects throe—as representative characters
- -Judge Bynum, from Massachusetts, who
representS’the Radical party; Prof. Norton,
from Connecticut, who represents the
j Conservative wing of the same party ;
Major Heister, from Pennsylvania, who
| is atype of thosekuown as war Democrats;
and Mr. Stephens himself—and we may
j add, in reference to him, the expounder of
| the Constitution, the champion of the
i sovereignty of the States and the unan-
I swerabie vindicator of the righteousness of
j the cause for which the Confederate
! States periled everything in the bloody
: struggle they made in the maintainar.ee of
their liberties.
Mr. Stephens says: “Let the reader
imagine all the parties assembled in the
portico at Liberty Hall the day alter the
arrival of the guests and after the usual
salutations and inquiries” have passed,
upon the reunion ol oid acquaintances apd
former friends, and he will be prepared fill
the curtain to rise and the discussion to
fSllow.
“Judge Bynum—We were all at the
North very much surprised as well as dts,
appointed, Mr. [Stephens, at your coarse
on secession. ’ ’
. “Mr. Stephens. Why so ?”
The question of Judge Bynum brought
up for discussion the whole subject of the
war—nay more—it brought forth from Mr.
Stephens the most masterly exposition of
the great principles which lie as the
foundation of our Confederated Govern
ment that has ever yet been given to the
world. It was a theme worthy of his Ut
most powers, and most triumphantly has
his genius accomplished the noble work.
In perusing the work, the reader feels
that the discussion rises to the height of
the moral sublime as objection after
objection—argument after argument—
statement after statement—fiet after sact —
charge after charge, brought forward by
the assailants of the South, as by Mr.
; Stephens answered —overthrown—demol-
' ished—crushed.
We have in Mr. Stephens' book the
most perfect history of the origin of our
Government—tho progress of prinoipias—
and their modes of settlement that has
ever been written. He has given a per
fect demonstration of the true character
of oar Government, and he has done this
by showing the true relation which the
States sustain in the oompaat, and the re
lation which the Congress—orthe Govern
ment at Washington—sustains IN THE
Constitution to the States forming the
Union. All this he does so plainly, so
clearly, that the humblest intellect can
understand.
His book is a text book upon the sub
ject. It should be in the hands of every
mao, especially of every young man, in ail
the land —North—South —East—M esc. It
should go wherever a voter is found, to
teach him a right understanding of tbe
aature of the Government in which he
lives. It should go forth to counteract, if
possible, the baleful errors respecting the
nature of our Government, now sweeping
over the land—or rather that have already
swept over it —and which errors are the
cause of the terrible calamities which have
i befallen thf country in ttte last few years.
1 The war, which has desoiateu the rand,
1 never would have occurred it there had
prevailed a right understanding of the
■ principles of the Government.. ike gross
assumptions ofpower by the Congress at
Washington never could have been at
tempted, or, if attempted, would never
i have been sustained by people, if the
true principles of the Government, as
| established by the Constitution, had been
i thoroughly understood.
The errors of Story, of Webster, of
' Motley and others, are all expressed and
j refuted with a. master’s power, while the
! views c,f the great patriot-statesmen—a
f long list of glorious worthies—too length
ened to be introduced info this notice,
I are given in such clearness and power that
the reader -eems almost to be in their very
i midst, listei ing to the patriotic words that
i fall from their lips, and catching the spirit
j of Constitutional Liberty incorporated in
tho Government they were founding for
their posterity.
Space does not allow us to say more in
reference to this work. We have written
merely to call attention to its attractive
pages, and urge upon all our people a pa?
rusal of the book. They wiil reap a re

MR. EVANS’ SCRIPTURE.
Reverend and Dear Sir: In tny last
J letter I quoted to you two passages of
j Holy Scripture,., one from the pen of the
inspired Apostio Patii, and one from the
lips of our blessed Loud himself, in which
j the obligation of unity among, the followers
of Christ is expressed with a tender earu
! estness which, in triy humble judgment,
' should command the instant obedience of
I every man and every church which has the
least remnant of that “mind which was also
|in Christ.” It seems to me that any
i man, honestly desirous to obey the great
Head of the Chureb, would, in the light of
! these two Scriptures, set himself at once,
| like Bishpp Beckwith, to inquire how
unity may be obtained. And lam bound
j to add that I cannot conceive how any fol
| lower of ClUiisT can set himself, as you
: have done, to prove tfiat our Saviour did
■ not mean exactly, what lie said, and that
! on the whole it matters little whether in
this respect we follow His commands or not.
i It is true that I wrote only twk) passages
of Scripture, hijt it must not be supposed
that I could quote no more than two. I
am prepared to quote one thousand pas
sages all bearing the same way, and I defy
any utan to quote over that, honestly rem
dereS, will be contrary to these. Iu your
sermon I find that you have used the fol
lowing seven texts to or illustrate
the beauties of schismatical divisipns in
the church of Christ :
1. “For bv one Spirit are we all* baptiz
ed into one Body." 1 Cor. 12, 13. Surely
this is a strange text to prove that by one
Spirit we are ail baptized into mapy
bodies, or that,the Body of Christ shall
be shattered into fragments.
2. Y'our next quotation is irom Eph. 4,
10 : “Freni whom the whole Body, fitly
joined together and compacted by that
which every joint suppiieth, according to
the effectual working in the measure of
every part, makethincrease of the' Body
unto the edifying of itself in love.” Assur
edly. dear sir, you must, have been badly
off for Scripture to support your theory of
the loveliness of mutilation tq rhe body of
Christ, when you were forced to sustain
it by a text tfiat speaks only of “a whole
Body” which, so tar from being mutilated,
is a Body “fitly joined together and com
pacted,” not divided, “by that which
every joint suppiieth !” But if we were,
or could be, in any doubt about Saint
Paul’s meaning in this passage, We should
find it in,the verses which precede that
which you have so-paradoxieally cited.
Saint Paul was writing to a united Church
in Ephesug. Do you suppose lie had
any intention of advising them to split?
If so you have overlooked the first part of
this very chapter. Here it is: “I, there
fore, the prisoner of the Lord, beseech
you that ye walk worthy of the vocation
wherewith ye are called, with all lowliness
and meekness, with long suffering-, for
bearing one another in love ; endeavoring
to keep the unity of the-Spirit in the bond
of peace. THERE IS 0 ii BODY and
ONE SPIRIT, even as ye are
called in ONE hope of your calling ; one
Lord, one faith, one baptism, one God
and father ofall!” Such is the “whole
Body” in which you lind the model of a
mutilated and divided Church ! Y’ou and
the Apostles are very much at variance,
for the Boijy you delight to see divided,
he affirms to be as one as tbe Divine
Spirit, as one as our Divine Loud, as one
as our Faith or our Baptism, and as one as
the “One God and Father of ail. ” I think
you must tyrgive me tot agreeing with the
Apostles rather thau with you; and I hope
you will forgive me if I add that I can con
ceive no way in which you could misunder
stand iSairit Paul- unless you read your
Bible backward so as to make anything it
says mean anything you please. „
3. I have no words to express the pain
with which I rhad your next- quotation.—
It is from Saint John’s Gospel, ,17-11,
when our Blessed SaVioLr prays for
His disciples ‘‘That they may by
one ap we are.” Our L6rd prays
in His might of agony for his disciples,
“and not for these alone,but for them also
which ’should believe on Him through
their word,” that they may be one in a
unity as perfect in all respects—for He
makes no limitation—as the unity which
joins the Father and the Son. Dear sir,
how can you twist such words as these in
to the very opposite of what they say ?
Have you ever thought of the awful saying,
in the Revelation : “If any man shall add
unto these things, God shall add unto
him the plagues that arc written in this
book. And if any man shall take away
from the words of the book of this prophe
cy, God shall take away his part out of
the' book of Life ?”- ./
4th. in the following passage you betray
extraordinary ignorance of the first prin
ciples of the Jewish economy’: . ,
“The first external organization of the
Church was under the Levitical economy.
This was a politico-ecclesiastical organiza
tion—a union of Church and State. King
Rehoboam was the son and successor of
Solomon. He rejected the counsels of the
old men, and, governed by the young men
of his kingdom, ho made his administra
tion one of great Oppression. The Ten
Tribes, under the lead of Jeroboam re
volted. Rehoboam was preparing to pur
sue and force them to -submission, when
the Lord commanded him : ‘Thus saith
the Lord —ye shall not go up, nor fight
against your brethren, the children of
Israel; return every man to his own house;
for this thing is from me.’ II Kings:
12-24. This division of the Church was
never healed. The separation continued ;
and some of the most prominent of the
prophets —among whom were Elijah and
Elisha—belong to the separatists.”
So it appears that you do not know the
difference between a Church aud a national
organization I Because, forsooth, there is
henceforth to be a King of Israel .as ml! as
a King of Judah, ergo there is to he a
Church of Israel as the Church of J udah!
Where do you learu that the Church was
divided wheu the nation was divided? Not
from Holy Scripture, lam sure. Why, sir,
every child who ever read the history of
Israel knows that while the division of the
nation was from God, no division of the
Church was authorized. It was still at
Jerusalem that all the tribes went up to
worship; and as soon as the tribes of Israel
ceased to worship there and set up rival
temples for themselves, that is as soon as
they forsook the unity of the Church, it
was no longer Jehovah, but Baal and
Ashtaroth and Moloch that they worship
ped. _ Nay, these very prophets.—Elijah
and Elisha—were raised up because of the
enormities ol wickedness wljoh followed
the unauthorized division’of the Church.
’5. Your next reference has nothing to
do with the matter iu hand. “And John
answered and said, Master we saw one
casting out devils in Thy name,- and we
forbade him bpcauss he followeth not with
us. And Jesus said unto him, forbid
him Dot, for he that is not against us is for
us.” In these words you'say that our
Lord rebukes “the exclusive, centralizing
spirit of the Apostles.. This may be tbe ,
case, though I find no toue of rebuke in
our Saviour’s words. But at any rate
the passage has nothing to do with the
unity of Christ’s Church as your way of
citing it would lead ,the care'ess reader to
suppose. Tho Christian "Chureh, as a
Church, was not yet organized. The only
Church then in existence was the Jewish
Chureh, and tlris passage has no con
ceivable connectioß.with that. Arid it has
just as little to do with ministerial au
thority. _ The easting out of devils, like
other miraculous gifts which lasted Tut
a time, was Dot confined to the Apostles or
other ministers. TtTe ministry was-to be a
permanent thing. Its authority asjd
functions were also to be permanent.—
Demoniac possessions were temporary;
hence the powey of' casting devils out ot
the posses.-4d was also a temporary gift,
and in no way pertained to the exclusive
office of the priesthood. I beliyve I hold
as high views of-the Christian priesthood
as any other man in the Chureh of which
lam a minister; but if these should ever
be a demoniac id Columbus', I am quite
sure I shaH forbid mo man, who can, to
east the devils out,
6. You remember the following text, no
doubt: “The loo! hath said in his heart
there is no God ami no doubt you per
ceive how easy it would-be to prove from
this that there is no, God if .we only cut
l off the words “ The fool hath said iq his
heart.” Well, sir, L exaedy how
you have chosen to garble the sixth text.
1 find in your discourse, and I regret to
say that it is onc-e more'Christ's own
words that you presume to garble. "Other
sheep I have which are not of this fold,”
saith Christ. True, and if he had added
nothing to the saying, as one might infer
from your stopping there, it would be very
far from proving that the eiL«r sheep
ought not to be in the fold, or that there
are other folds to which the other sheep
i belong. But Christ did not stop there
though you did. He continued in the
| seif-same sentence to ten what must be
done for these poor, wandering, unfolded
sheep. ‘‘Them also,’' says the loving
Saviour, " I must bring; and there shall
be ONE FOLD, and one Shepherd.”
Qnce agaio, dear sir, I ask, 1 ask
feelingly, how „ar. you so misquote the
words of Christ? He says that as th«?e
1 is one Shepherd so there shall be one fold,
; whereinto He must bring His wandering
i sheep. You choose to omit that saying
! and to • quote Cn'y a garbled phrase to
f prove that there, are many folds, and that
■ it matters little into which of them the
1 sheep come.
j 7. I will now fiyo the following para
-1 graph from your discourse :
“The first council held by the Apostles
[Acts 15] was to cousider a question of
I external rites ; and it was settled in favor
;of the non-conformists '/he canon adopt
, ed and sent by Barnabas ami Silas to the
I Gentle converts, was in these words :
“For it seemed good to the Holy Ghost
i and to us, to lay upon you no greater bur
j dens than these necessary things ; that ye
abstain from meats offered to idols, and
1 from blood, and from things strangled,
! agd from fornication ; from which, if ye
i keep ytiurselves, ye shall do well. Fare
jye well.’’ The succession of eiicumcision,
! for which the Jewish converts contended,
1 was placed among the non essentials of
| Christianity.”
I must pass by that curious phrase “the
succession of eiwsmnoisaon.” Asyow have
j italicised it. I suppose you intended it to
mean something. 1 will also pass by the
curious conch:.-ion you have reached' that
circa incision is one of the non-esseutiala of
Christianity ? . Where in the world did
you ever find that out ? Saint Paul says
that the circumcision of Christians is a
renunciation of Christ. I am sorry you
get on so badly with Saint Paul, far if he
is right circumcision has no place what
ever in Christianity, neither among its
essentials, nor its non-essentials, it is
essentially an ti-Christisn. Andlwili also
pass by the _ curious blunder you
have fallen into in saying that
the canon cited was adopted and
sent lif “Barsabas and Silas.”
That is a mistake. It was adopt
ed by “the Apostles, and elders, and breth
ren” in council assembled. Judas and
Silas were merely the bearers of the lotter
to tfie Christians at Antioch. And now,
sir, what (foes this affair prove ? Let ns
see :
1. That “there was no. small dissension
and disputation” concerning circumcision
in the Church at Antioch;
2. That though this was the case, nobody
thought of .Splitting the Church into two
Churches, ooe of them retaining and the
other rejecting circumcision, as would be
done now-a-days;
3. That, positive as the parties were,
they all agreed to submit the matter to the
Great Council of the Church. In other
words, while every man thought his own
private judgment as good as any other
man’s, they all surrendered private judg
ment to the authority of the Church ;
4. That the matter was in fact settled by
the Church and so ended forever ;
5 And that the unity of the Church was
maintained by godly reverence ou the part
of Christians for the authority of the
Church.
1 must say,. Reverend sir, that this
strikes me a? being a very curious passage
to bring forward against Church unity and
Church authority. To be sure it is as
much to your purpose as the others you
have used, and as it i:> the last, I shall
here,close this letter.
.But I cannot close it without claiming
that I have amply redeemed the promise
made in my last letter that I would show
your quotations of scripture to be perver
sions of scripture, if these are not perver
sions I do not know the moaning of the
word.
Nor will,. I close without explicitly af
firming that I sincerely believe you to have
been rather negligent than culpable in
making these quotations. It seems, at
first sight, impossible to mistake the moan
ing of such plain words .as you have
quoted ; but there is a very simple reason
for your doing so, which I will endeavor to
give iu my next letter.
I ana, Reverend sir,
Your obedient servant,
John Fulton.
NOTE TO THE READERS OF THE CHRONICLE.
I am grieved to learn that some persons
have supposed me to entertain feelings of
unliinduess toward my Reverend antago
nist Mr. Evans, and ! take she earliest op
portunity of assuming that not one thought
of personal uakiudness has entered my
mind. I regret that I have been forced
into a controversy which was neither de
sired nor desirable, and I have no apology
to make for the legitimate arguments I
have used and intend to use. But I must
aim do utterly disavow any other feeling
toward Mr. Evans than one of sincere
regret that, instead of standing side by wide
in Christ's warfare, the unhappy division
of his Church and ours has set us in array
against each other. Why should such a
thing be? Is not that very fact an argu
ment against these pitiable divisions?
I am informed that a learned Layman of
Columbus is shortly to take lip Mr.
Evans’ cause, following me pari passu in
these weekly articles. I trust the report
is not true. I have the floor just now, and
itls inconvenient to both parties when two
■parspns tain: at otice. If the gentleman
will wait awhfie till I have done with Mr.
Evans, I assure him of respectful attention
to whatever he shall then say.

CHRONICLE & SENTINEL,
FHOSI ATLA3TA.
C ampbcll a second Bradley—He spea/ts the
.whole Morning—Violent harangue —
Radicals vainly endeavor to stop him —
The Senators leave in disgust— The reso
lution to seat L'stcf—Bidlock charged
" with arming Negroes.
Atlanta, August 15, p, Senate
was called to order this morning at the
usual hour, and, alter reading the Journal,
the lloor was yielded to the negro Senator
from the Second District, T. G. Campbell,
who consumed the wholetimoof the Senate
yesterday morning on the question of re
considering ihe vote declaring Bradley in
eligible, and whom the hour of ,adjon< u
ment found still spoaaing, to empty bench
es however, as nearly every Senator had
left the Semite chamber, completely dis
gustt and by the black ape’s insolence,
A SECOND BRADLEY.
If Bradley, like a second Lucifer, ha s
been hurled, by the cruel edict of the
Senate, from his place of power and au
thority,his mantlehascertainly bean trans
ferred to a worthy successor—one who
seems to have been sent as an aveDging
Nemesis to bring home, by his insolence j
and violence, the beauties of that negro
equality which they havesolong preached
and endeavor* and to instill into the minds
of the people, to a Radical Senate.
Campbell Disproved himself for the last
two days to boa worthy scholar of his great
teacher; indeed some think that he is worse j
than Bradley, for the latter, when too vio* |
lent, could generally be controlled a little |
by the felony question being brought be
fore him. But with Campbell there is as j
yet do such check, and the only remedy 1
they have for his long-winded harangues j
is to get up and leave the Senate chamber :
and let kirn talk to the empty benches.
TovJay,iike yesterday, ho consumed the
entire morning session in a long harangue j
on the question of Bradley’s ineligibility, j
.and when tini hour of adjournment arriv- |
ed, it found himstill on the floor,which he I
refused to yield unless he should be allow
ed‘to resume it again on M6nday morn
ing. This will have given the honorable
gentleman only the moderate time of a
’ little tqore than three days to defend his
friend'in. ' . t
His harangue to-day was violent and
abusive in the extreme, and can be com
pared to nothing ever listened to,before, in
the Halls of a deliberative assembly. The
only thing that it will hear a comparison
with, is Aaron Alpeorfa’s celebrated ad
dress to the Constitutional Convention
some months ago. Indeed his whole de
meanor is daily becoming more and more
like that which characterized the illustri
ous Aaron whilst he was a member of the
Convention. It something is hot done to
check him another disgraceful day like
thi3 one, will be spent by the Senate again
on Monday.
THE RADICALS DISGUSTED WITH HIM.
He has succeeded in disgusting the
members of ius own party almost; s much
as he has the Democratic Senators. To
day when his speech was in progress
strenous efforts wore made by EuaDy
Radical Senators to check, him, and make
him yield the floor, as he had already oc
cupied it a much longer time than there
was any necessity for, or that he had any
right to do.
But all of their efforts were of no avail;
the blood of Ham was up and Campbell
would not yield. The Republicans insist
ed, but it was all ia Tain. Campbell told
them that he had a right to the floor; that
he had a right to speak and ha would do
so as long as he pleased, and declared that
he would not yield the floor; that he had
said nothing out of order.
THE CHAIR APPEALED TO.
An appeal was than made to the Pres
; ident of the Senate in hopes to get him
quiet in that manner. But that function
ary made a decision sustaining Campbell,
and the latter resumed.
CHAMBER VACATED.
This effectually disgusted most of the
Senators, who took their hats and left the
Chamber. So numerons was trails retreat
that it, at cue time during the course of
me session, after the decision of the Pres
ident, left the Senate without a quorum
present, and the presiding officer Rad to
| send out a messenger to hqut down the
absentees,
AN EFFORT WILL DE MADH TO EXPEL HIM,
SA strong arjd intense is this disgust fbr
Campbell that serious efforts wilt be made
to expel him. On what ground his expul
sion will be demanded I cannot learn.
Some say that be will be presented as a
nuisance. This j lea,'however, wilt hardly
hold good ; for if carried out to the letter
it would result in emptying three-fourths
of the Radical Senators’ smN. Mv own
impresfsio i is that, if they will sou l some
one to his native district, sumo plundered
chicken-roost, or pig-pew can be fas
tened upon him, and furnish justification
enough for his expulsion.
LESTER TO HE SEATED.
As soon aw Campbell finished his oration
i the resolution (which I telegraph you in
full) will )<e taken up,and I think, accord
ing to every principle of justice, adopted.
THE RESOLUTION.
The following is the resolution intro
duced by the Hod. m W. L. McArther, of
the 15th District, seating Captain Lester iu
Bradley's place .
Whereas, Aaron A. Bradley, who re
ceived the highest number of the votes
cast for Senator for the First Senatorial
District, of the State of Georgia, has been
declared ineligible as Senator under sec
tions third and sixth of the second article
of the Constitution of Georgia, having
been convicted of a crime punishable by
law with imprison uientiu the penitentiary:
And Whereas, Rufus E. Lester receiv
ed the next highest number of votes to
said Aaron Alpeoria Bradley, for Senator
from the First Senatorial District; there
fore be it—
Resolved, That the said Rufus E. Lester
is the dui3 r elected Senator from the First
Senatorial District of the State of Georgia,
and as such, upon taking the oath pre
scribed by the Constitution, that he be al
lowed to take the seat of said Senator.
BULLOCK ARMING THE NEGROES.
A report is published here this morning
that bands ofuegroes, armed with entirely
new guns, are nightly engaged in drilling;
thatthese bands are acting under the orders
of the Radical leaders, and that Bullock is
privy to the whole affair. X.

Affairs in Louisiana.
New Orleans, August 15, p. m- An
informal meeting was held last night ia
the Governor’s office between prominent
members of both parties. Both conceded
that the danger of a collision was immi
nent. The Democratic gentlemen expressed
the opinion that the best and only way to
insure peace, was to stop the system of
aggressiveand oppressive legislation now
in progress. That the Democratic con
servative elements of the country expect
ed to accomplish nothing, except in a
legal and constitutional way, but that it
was unwise and improper for the bkate
Government to defy the sentiment and
wishes of the pecple; that if the Governor
would throw himselt'upon thepooplo, they
would sustain him and no resort to force
would be neoessary for the preservation of
peace.
Warinouth states that he was authorized
to say, on behalf of the Republicans, that
there was nothing in reason that the Re
publicans can do or concede, bnt what
will be done to secure harmony. He
promised th t measures, not of party
politics obnoxious to citizens, will be modi
tied. He said that he was in earnest in
bis desire to secure the welfare of alt and
preserve peace and order.
Another meeting will be held in a few
days when it is h ;ped that some practical
illustration of the mutual desire' for har
mony will be presented.
Moderate It ipublicans, unfortunately
but few in number,concede (hat thesystem
of legislation heretofore and at present
pursued is calculated to create strife.
The Democracy say the preservation of
order is what they mos* earnestly de
sire, and that it rest entirely with the Re
publicans.
