The Classic City.
Wo visited Athens on last Wddnes
day evening, and so eve walked into
Broad Street, wo landed in the middle
of a big political meeting. Mr. H. H
Tack, candidate ft.r tLe legislature, tri<
the speaker. Ho is a stump speaker
o r no mean degree, and draws a big
crov7d. A rich fand of anecdote and
keen satire, accompanied with tbit po
collar gesture known a th 4 halleluja
liok,“ carries the audience all 4 ihe way
with him. They say Tu k is a trick,
Tuck is a brick, and if ho g ta there
El Brown will be mighty witk.
We had tho pleasure of raeeTng
Hon. R. B Uufc.-ell, a genial, clever

aad was a popular member oft the last
legislature.

A Bad Case,
We have read Sen, Ingalls’ arti
cle in the North American Review,
upon what he is pleased to term
“Fetchism in the campaign.” It
is certainly one of the most vulgar,
beastly, and malevolent attacks
upon the president, upon the dem
ocratic party, and upon the South,
that we have ever read. Ingalls
must be certainly filled with gall
—bitter gall.
The peculiar acridness and bit
terness of that excretion asserts it
self in the climax of hie article in
which he treats of “Negro suffrage
iu the South.” The senator’s stom
ach must have been overflowing,
and we imagine his visage wa#
jaundiced until his eyes were green
when he ejected the following;
“There are 153 votes in the Elec-
Loral College assured to the demo
cratic party without any other ef
fort than that required to write
the certificates o!’ election. For
ty-eight more in the North will
give Cleveland another term, dur
ing which the Supreme Court will
be reconstructed upon the basis of
hostility to the constitutional
amendments and the statutes of
freedom, Not only among tho
white politicians, but among the
white voters at tho South, there is
a settled and avowed determina
tion to eliminate the negro as an
element in the political problem,
and to suppress his vote, * *
The negroes are to be persuaded
from nothing! There is no longer
any disguisement or concealment
of this purpose. They aro citizens
entitled to vote, and generally re
publican in politics, and in several
states are in the majority; but the
election machinery being in the
hands of the democrats they are
either excluded from the polls, or
their votes or suppressed. * *
The South obtained 38 additional
members of congress by the en
franchisement of the negro. If
they wish to deny him the right of
suffrage, justice and honor demand
that they shall relinquish the in
crement, so that the equality of
suffrage may be restored and the
equilibrium, between the North
and the South be maintained.’’
We suppose be must have felt
better when he disgorged this aw
ful load. Senator Ingalls ought
to carry some blue mass around
with him in his vest pocket.
A Sad Picture.

The whole policy of the two day

Racked upon a bed of death for
many a weary month, suffering the
most intense tortures from the scalpels
ot hi* physicians, Frederick 111 has
been doing his utmost to preserve tbe
peace of Eorope. Fearless and brave
as a lion, the dead emperor was none
the less essentially a man of peace
To Lira the altars and the homes of
his people were far dearer than the
most magnificent Wf a warrior’s tri
umphs. From the very first he was a
vigorious opponent of that system of
military despotism inflicted by Bis
marok upon tbe German people alter
the pantomimio farce at Terseilles, in
1871, which resalted in a united Ger
many. The views of Frederick 111
were as pacific as those of Bismarck
are belligerant, bat wbat reforms were
possible daring a brief reign of four
months, the. greater part of whioh was
spent upon a dying bed? ~
