(A Mania Confutation.]
While the veto at the new military
hill which the fraudulent president
sent tv the house yesterday may oc
casion surprise in Washington, where
the niiJh'-aud-Wfttcr sloppiness of the
;uln)inist)‘uljon appears to have made
a deep mipijssjon on society, it will
create no astonishment among those
who have been witnesses of the grad
ual retrout of the executive from tho
mildly seasoned oider-bjn of Mr.
Rogers to the wiehedly-stout politi
cal demijohn of the lion. Zachary
f'bnodler. Certainly, it will occa
sion no surprise among those who rc-
Jlcctjngly. observed the course and
character of tho evonts and tho vari
ous processes of the fraud by which
Mr. If ayes was (derated to tho oflico
of President, TliP chief conspirator
fn this business was Mr, Zachary
(Jhand)cr, and to him, instead of to
the country, the allegiance of Mr.
Mayo* }s duo. The latter whs com
pelled in the beginning to disarm the
south dud tho democratic party, and
having, most unfortunately, as wo
How believe, suoeticdod in this, ho is
now free to pursuo the revolutionary
course marked nut for hint by tho J strength; how unassuming
man who, full of whisky and tnean-
HCbh, has progressed as a political)
merely by staggoring from one. ex
treme to another.
In his message, the main po; lions
of which are embodied in our tele
grams, Mr. Hayoa lays down tho re
publican platform with great care
and perspicuity. Ido formulates and
elaborates the issue for 1880, and for
this, perhaps, ho is entitled to (he
thanks of the democrats. Mo is
most pain taking in his statements,
and for that reason it is most likely
that tho most ignorant voter in the
land cun, by any possibility, niisuh-
dorstnnd or mistake his meaning,
lie throws off the mask of conversa
tion behind which ho sholtored hini-
stilf until the democrats could ho
provndud upon to squint at tho foul
corruption which gave him his sdat,
and takes a position in the advance
guard of tho centralists who have
for so many years been engaged in a
The Press Convention.
The Georgia Press Convention as
sociation met in Cartersville on the
14th inst. Mr. J. 11. JCstill, of the
.Savannah yean, occupied the chair,
ami Mr. 0, P. Hanscll, of theThom-
nsville Enterprise, acted as secretary.
Tho address of welcome was deliver
ed by Hill Arp, from which the fol
lowing is an extract;
“Oartewfville,” ho said, ‘‘receives
you gladly. She feels magnified by
your presence. Always hospitable
to the humble as well as the great,
she nevertheless indulges a peculiar
pride on this occasion, feu,’ while her
pompous neighbors have been spread
ing wide their philucterios over con
ventions of teachers and preachers
and leechers and railroad intriguers,
she ranks them all in the quality of
her guests. [Applause.] The edi
torial bruin is the lever of Archi
medes and the press is the fulcrum.
More than a million souls are - domi
ciled in our state, and the power
that moves them, trains them and
directs them, is now before us. The
press is par excellence the public
educator. 11 gives morn ineon f ive to
study, more direction to thought and
more food for mental digestion than
all otlior powers combined. It es
tablishes tho convictions of masses
npon all subjects which they are cap
able of comprehending. Wlmt a
wonderful power! And yet how
silently it works its mighty engine;
how seemingly unconscious of its
As wo
look into your frank and open faces
we are almost ready to exclaim, ‘how
ehild-like and bland?’ [Laughter.]
When the generous host first meets
his welcome guest upon tho thresh
old their kindly greetings follow in
quick succession, ‘Is it not well with
thee my friend? is it not well with
thy wife and child? Your presence
and your serenity imlionto that it is
well, and now, in our turn, wo re
spond to your kind solicitude, and
answerthat.it is also well with us.
Our hearts boat happily and are
warm with that abounding hospitali
ty which characterizes suburban vil
lages. Unpretending towns feel all
tho greater honor when visited by
the giants and the notables of the
land. Like tho country fanner’s
wife when visited by nor city cous
ins, tho first impulse is to kill every
kid and lamb and turkey and fat
shout in the neighborhood. The

N k\v Yokk, May 14.—A Mem
phis special telegram says that Henry
Ward Beecher was greeted by an au
dience of 4,000 people at his lecture
in the exposition building lust night.
He was presented to the meeting by
Keating, of the Appeal, and his
lecture was frequently interrupted
by applause. At its close Mr.
Beecher presented Mr. Keating with
a cheek for $25*’ to be by him dis
tributed between the*orphan asylums
of Memphis, llis Cliuttanooga and
Atlanta engagements arc cuucclTed,
and Mr. Beecher will return to
Brooklyn on account of his physical
inability to fulfill them. While in
Memphis Mr. Beecher has been treat
ed with respect, and his coming was
the occasion of excursion trains be

Memphis, all crowded with poople
from west Tonnossee, north Missis

Enthusiasm for Tilden.
[Lexington Gazette.]
When the namo of Tilden was
mentioned in tho Louisville conven
tion it created an enthusiasm such as
that of no living man would have in
spired. It .shows how entirely this
hpnost old statesman is endeared to
the hearts of Kentuckians, and how
little regard our people have for the
Washington politieans who arc
against Tildeii’s renomiuation to a
man. This was the unbought, spon-
staneous, outspoken approval of hon
est delegates expressing tho senti
ments of an honest constituency.
This example will not be lost upon
the Democracy of other States, and
is not only a straw, but lms u wide
and deep significance.

Whenever a Republican thief is
aught and stopped from stealing,
ho cries revolution. If tho army is
forbidden to interfere with elections,
it is revolution. If the barbarous

ired crcutnres to'control thorn are
abolished, again it is revolution,

IN THE WORLD.
A Moral ’role.
Written for the Post.
On the highway drudges a cripple on
crutches,
So helpless lie scarcely cau go ;
lie drags his frame, for he is feeble and
• lame,
And his progress is toilsome and slow.
Now he sits down and groans,
And liis hard fate bemoans.
Why was he not rich hulcjmd healthy?
The world owes him a living,
But is always giving
His share to the well and tho wealthy.
But while he thus mused,
With ids reasoning confused,
He sees from the valley, ascending,
A form without sight, full six feet iu
height,
liis sad fate, his blindness, lamenting.
His feet would uot move till liis staff could
prove
That tho pathway before him*was not
bad ;
And the cripple, erst sad. row truly felt
. glad
That liis optics in vision could revel.
Said lie to the blind: “My friend could
you mind
To place me on top of thy shoulders ?
Our troubles will coasodf I guide thee with
ease,
Around gullies, big logs and big bould
ers.
“For good is my sight, though my frame is
little,
And my limbs are crippled and feeble,
If we but uuitc our senses and might,
Tlieu each of us masters an evil.”
So it was agreed, and they did succeed,
And traveled' with ease and at leisure;
United they move and thus again prove
In uniou are strength, bliss and treasure.
From all parts of the country reports
come of the immense sales' and increasing
demand for that deservingly popular Sew
ing Machine, The Old and Reliable “Stan
dard.” the price of which the proprietors
wisely reduced to $20, including all the
attachments, and at once secured fo- tliem
a popularity among the people, far beyond
that ever yet attained by any other machine
at any price, the consequence of which is,
agents are leaving Unsold high priced ma
chines, and seeking territory for the “Stan
dard.” Knowing from experience that
with the best goods at llie lowest price
they cun outsell all other machines, when
the*superior quality and low price is made
known. This splendid machine combines
all the improvements. Is far ahead of all
others in bounty and durability of itt-
work, ease of management, light running
and certainty of operation, is sensibly
made upon sound principles, with positive
working parts all steel, and can be safely
jut down us the perfection of a Serviceable
Shuttle Double Thread Sewing Machine,
in every particular, that will outlast any
machine, und at a price far down below
any other. It is thoroughly warranted for
five years, Kept in order free of churge.
And sent to any part of the country for
examination by the customer before pay
ment of the bill. We can predict equally
as large a demand for them in this section
as in others. Families desiring the best
machine manufactured should write direct
to the factory. And enterprising persons
wishing to seize the chance should apply
for so desirable au agency. See ndvertise-
