With things that come and things that go. The mists that rise when morn is fair. Are not more transient in their stay, Than are the hours that speed away. For often life seems like a dream— Fo quickly flash with glance and gleam, A thousand things that co me and go. And cause the tide* to ebb and flow. A sad sweet strain that’s borne alqng By breath of wind, a bit Of song, A tow fond words when dear friends meet t The music of a land that’s sweet: The sympathy that prompts a sigbi A winsome face that passes by; Brief joys that stay their little while, A kindly glance, a loving smile. These ever come, and ever go. And like the tides, they ebb and flow. A lovely landscape, fair and bright. One moment seen, then lost to sight, The gorgeous clouds at set of sun. That crown the day when it is doae, The frosty pictures on the pane, That fade and come and fade again, The curling smoke that floats away; A snow wreath on a winter's day; All these like waves that ebb and now With ceaseless throb, still come and go. —lJnknown.

Davis’ Con fidential Friend In the Confederate Senate, In Which Recently Ralaed Issue* are Dl*cussed—The Atlanta Campaigns Special Correspondence of the Philadelphia Press. Atlanta, June 29. —An hour after I reached Atlanta this mornng I sought the bouse of Mr. Hiil. and found its pro prietor in his cozy office. He was loung ing in an easy chair, with his coat off, intently reading General Joe Johnston's story of the war, as told the readers of the Press one week ago. Senator Ben Hill looked up as 1 approached, and cordially welcomed me to his home. For a time the chat was of a personal character, but it finally drifted to the object of my visit.

“I see Mr. Davis does not agree with your view ot the war and the Southern question gen erally.” “Certainly not. Mr. Davis and me never did agree as to the character of our government. He looks now, and always did, upon John C. Calhoun s the great light of the South upon these problems. I was a Whig and never hod any use for such doctrines as Calhoun taught and Davis adhered to before the war and still maintains, and I have infinitely less now.” “What effect will Mr. Davis’ book have upon the south?” “None w’batever. Tbe number of people in the South who agree with the view of the war and its results as expressed in Mr. Davis’ work, is too limited to have the slightest influence. It was very proper for Mr. Davis to write the book. Our people thought it due to himself as well as to them and the cause he represent ed to put on record his view of the war. He has done it ably and honestly, but the book treats of a theory of our government which has passed away. It will fce read as would be any other account of a great historical event, but its theories cau never again have a practical filace in our politics. Mr. Davis is an eminent y pure man, brave and generous. The view of tne war and of the causes which created it, as expressed by Mr. Davis, are naturally temper ed with his idea that the war did not settle tbe question provoking it. We have a few others in the South who ta'k about our contending for the principles which Lee and Jackson fought, but most of them unlike Mr. Davis do not know the significance of their words. “As I have said, the principles for which the South fougkt have been settled, and no people on earth recognize that fact more decidedly than our own people, and no section of this land is so thankful that they have been settled as the South. as they abhor the meth ds by which these questions have been settled, they would prefer to have had ihe war settle them than to have had them still pending with out the war. In other words, we should prefer the war without slavery than slavery without the war.” “As you do not agree with Mr. Davis’ views as to secession, and bis constitutional discus sion of it in his work, does the historical any more nearly meet your viewsf” “I have not yet read the historical portions of Mr. Davis’ work. I have never taken anv pert whatever in these controversies between different military commanders, and do not in tend to between Mr. Davis aud them.” “I see Mr. Davis quotes you in his controver sy wi h General Johnston.” “Yes. I see he does. And I also see in Oen f rat Johnston’s interview printed in the Press that he says I was a witness tor Davis. This is a very uncalled for remark, because I have never been a witness for Mr Davis or any other man. 1 suppose the petulant statement was called out by the fact that General Johnston regarded me as in some waj' responsible for his removal from his command after our inter view at Marietta, near Atlanta.” “What were the circumstances of that inter view f” “General Johnston, Governor Brown and Senator Wigfall had had a conference, I think on the 27th of June. 1864. in relation to the im pending crisis before Atlanta. A messenger came to me from these gentlemen, as he said urging that I write a letter to Jeff Davis asking that Morgan or Forrest be sent with some cav alry into Sherman's rear to cut oft his commu nications and harass his flanks. I thought if the facts were as stated to me there was no necessity for influence upon Mr. Davis, a mere statement of facts by any one would gain his hearty co-operation. There fore, I determined to visit General Johnston at his headquarters and place myself at his dis posal. I went, I think, on the 30th day of June, and found him at Marietta, and for more than half a day converse 1 with him upon the situa tion. Almost ail the time General Hood and General Hardee were present. The confer ence was free and full, and even the details of it have never escaped my memory. I began my remarks to General Johnston by saying that 1 regarded the fate of the Confederacy as in his hands; that I thought the fall of At lanta would virtually be the death of the Confederacy. I said that I regarded it as of more importance to hold Atlanta than Rich mond. I gave him my reasons in great de.tail.which were, in short, that the loss of At lanta would enable Sherman to cut off the supplies to Lee s army as well as his own. General Johnston acknowledged the gravity of the situation, but thought thnre was no necessity for concern. He said Sherman could never take Atlanta by assault. I replied (and it was the first and last military opinion I ever gave) that he would not take it by assault, but ihat he would move his forces around to the south of Atlanta across the two lines of rail roads which were then-furnishing supplies not only to Johnston’s but to Lee’s army. “General John-ton replied. ‘I hardly think he will do so; but, if he should attempt that plan of attack, there will be a very bloody battle before he succeeds.’ “This expression of General Johnston’s indi cated to me that he intended to fight to hold Atlanta, although there has been a good deal of talk to the contrary. As soon as this con ference was ended. I repaired at once to Rich mond and laid all these facts before the Presi dent in great detail. I believed that Johnston was mistaken as to the length of time he could hold the Chattahoochee river. He was holding the line of the Kennesaw when we had this interview, and thought he could hold Sherman north of the Chattahoochee river nearly sixty days, but when I arrived in Richmond he was already crossing the Chattahoochee. After my interview with Davis there was a great deal of discussion in the Cabinet was to what should be done, the majority favoring tbe removal of Johnston. Finally it was de cided to send Johnston a categorical question: ’Will you surrender Atlanta without a fight?’ “General Johns*on replied: ‘Shall garrison Atlanta with State troops and attack Sherman on his flanks.’ “This answer was not satisfactory to the Cabinet, although I never said it was not satis factory to me, or that it was evasive. Mr. Davis was very much averse to removing Jonnston, and was the last member of the Executive Department of tho government to consent to it.” “Were vou consulted as to bis removal “Yes, sir. Mr. Davis earnestly asked me for my opinion, but I declined to give it. I said I was not a military man and under no circum stances should assume the responsibility of re commending the removal of a military officer. I did say that I regarded it as a very serious mat ter to remove a military commander like Gen. Johnston, who had both the confidence of the people and of the armv, as I knew General Johnston hd. I have understood that General Johnston thought I was repousible for his removal, but I aive you the facts “Did General Lee recommend Johnston’s re moval “No, sir; General Lee’s opinion was asked, but he made no answer. Lee was a man who never assumed any responsibility outside of his own command. He never hesitated, how ever, when it was esked about any matter affecting that.” “How did Hood happen to succeed John ston?” “When it was decided to remove Johnston there was a great deal of discussion as to who Should succeed him, and "gain both Gen. Lee and myself refuse! an opinion. Gen. Hardee ranked Hooq.- and when Bragg resigned as commander of th© army of Tennessee at Dal ton he refused tne command of the army and told Mr. Davis that he had no ambitions above a corps commander, and that his military capacity, in his opinion, did not extend to the command of an army. Gen, Johnston was then appointed, and when he was relieved (Jen. Hood was chosen to succeed him, although Hardee ranked him because of Gen. Hardee’s refusal to take the command at Dalton.” “Did Hood follow Johnston’s plan of battle with Sherman?” “That Ido not know, general Sherman un dertook to carry Atlanta by assault from the north, as General Johnston had anticipated This resulted in the battle of the 22d of July, in which McPherson was killed, from which field Sherman was obliged to retire!” “Why diff Hood evacuate Atlanta then?” “Because Sherman moved his army around to the south ahd crossed the two railroads oyer which both Hood's and Lee’s army received their supplies, and he wftg Obliged to evacuate Although Hood mad? the effort, he was not strong enough to prevent Sherman from tak ing possession of these two roads, a* tfle battle of Jonesboro demonstrated.*’ “Hpw was it that Rom come to inaugurate the Tennessee campaign!” “After the battle or Jonesboro, President Davis notified me that he was to meet Gen. Hood in conference at ualmetto, and asked me to meet him. I went up from LaGrangeand was present at the conference. At that time it became manifest that Gen. Hardee was very much disturbed because Hood, hjs junior, had been placed in command aver him, al though it had been done, a* Mr. Davis sup posed, at Rgrded’s own request. To quiet any unpleasantness, Beauregard, who ranked both Hood and Hardee, was placed in command of the departmert, and could have taken com mand of the army if he ha a so willed, although Hotfd still rommanded the active operations of the army. “During this interview between General Hood and Mr. Davis a plan of campaign was agreed upon. It was that Stood should move to the north and take possession of the State Road, oyer which all the supplies for Sher man’s army had to be brought. Thi* would force Sherman to come out of his intrench jaents and fight to keep his army from starv ing. In fact it was turning his own tactics upon him. The trouble was from the begin ning of Sherman's march to the sea that he could not be engaged in an open field, and our commanders always felt that it he csuid be forced to come out and give LaUi? to our army he could be wLipoeJ, and probably crushed. That was why tfie plan was to cake possession of the road over which he got his supplies, fortify some good strong position and force him to come out and give battle. In pursuance of this plan Genera! good marched his army from Marietta m the direction of Altoona, the point selected for fortification. Sherman hay ing evidently antkdpatfed some such moke had a small force stationed at Altoona, which Hood attacked, and before he could capture it Sherman had moved a large force to its sup port and tbe assault faded. It is said that tiffs ESTABLISHED 1850. attack upon AJtoona furnished the first two lines of the popular air of ‘Hold the Fort.’ It is stated that when the attack was known Sherman’s word to the commander at Altoona was Hold the fort, for I am coming.* “Why didn’t Hood make an attempt upon some other point after failing at Altoona?” That Ido not know. It is claimed that his failures at Altoona showed that the morale and spirit of his forces had not sufficiently im proved after the serious reverses through which they had passed to make another suc cessful attempt. Therefore Beauregard and himself planned the campaign into Tennessee with the expectation that Sherman would fol low them, and that this would get him out of his entrenched position, and would also in crease the spirit of his troops and their oppor tunities for success. Sherman did not perform his part of the programme, and the result is fam’liar history." “I see that General Johnston ttrnks that Mr. Davis was responsible for Hood's action.” ‘That is a most unjust accusation. I have given you the facts in considerable detail to show exactly what part President Davis played in that whole transaction after General Jonn ston was removed. The difficulty with General Johnston is that he is suspicious, self-willed and overbearing, Davis never had any ill-will towards Johnston, and removed him with great regret. He regarded Jonnston as a good Gen eral and one of the best fighters in the army, it he would only fight. He often said that if Johnston would make battle there would be no fault to find with his plans or their execution. Johnston is very unjust to Davis.*’ “For what reason?" “That I could hardly tell, unless it was the dispute about the difference in rank between himself andGeneral Lee which took place early in the war. The bitterest fight I ever saw in an executive session of the Confederate Henate was introduced by General Johnston’s friends over this question of rank between himself and General Lee. General Lee had no part or lot in the controversy. He was the most un selfish man I ever knew. He would have come to Richmond and been a night policeman if the good of the Confederacy had required. Technically, I suppose, General Johnston would have ranked Lee and been entitled to the command under the law to encourage res ignations from the United States army, but the majority of the Senate thought that Lee should rank Johnston notwithstanding that, and it was so decided after this terribly bitter fight provoked by Mr. Johnston’s friends “J>o you know anything about the differences of Lee and Davis as to the surrender of the army?” “Yes, sir. I have read with a great deal of amusement much of the stuff that has been printed. Iu January, 1865, the two Houses of the Confederate Congress created a joint com mittee to inquire as to the condition or the army and the means for continuing the war I was on the committee on the part of the Senate. The committee held secret sessions and examined almost the Confederacy from jet?. Dima When General Lee was upon the el n.d f examined him nvv\'f, am’ la;great detai.

In a military point of view I would be stronger after than before such an event, because it would enable me to make my own plan of campaign and bat tle. From a moral and political point of view the abandonment or loss of Richmond would be a serious calamity, but when it has fallen I believe I can prolong the war for two years upon Virginia soil. Ever since the conflict be gan I have been obliged to permit the enemy to make my plans for me, because obliged to defend the capital. When Richmond falls 1 shall be able to make them for myself.’ “No, Gen. Lee never thought of surrendering until he found that he could not get his army out and was obliged to.” “Was Davis angry at Lee’s surrender?” “Not that I know of. I have talked with Mr. Davis, fully and freely, once only since the war. Not more than two years ago I spent a whole day with him, and I never heard him say an unkind word or utter a disparagement of Gen. Lee in my life. I believe the relations be tween himself and Gen. Lee were not only har monious but cordial to the last.” F. A. b. Tlie War in Ireland. New Orleans Democrat. The popular agitation in Ireland does not culminate or give promise of a speedy climax. It is the old struggle of muscle against mind, and, when fought on any other than a war basis, is apt" to be sparing of consequences as ot lives. The troubles against which the Land League seeks to make head are legacies from the age of the Second Charles, who confirmed to the usurpers of Irish lands the confiscations that had taken place under the Parliament. These titles and the cruel tyranny of landlord rule have never been disturbed, and the Irish peo ple have now against them the warrant that these traditions afford the govern ment, as well as the power and subtlety of the new English hmd bill. But the Irish masses show intention, as well as, so far, stand their ground. The managers of the Land League have been successively arrested from Davitt to Brennan, but the post of honor and of danger is, on every occasion, instantly filled. Their orders are regularly an nounced to the people and received with enthusiasm. Yet great suffering pre vails, and in the Irish common law courts counsel are daily moving for writs of ejectment, and everywhere the inexorable landlord is trying to enforce impossible rents. It is an important wage in the unceasing struggle for human rights, but the immediate result to the Irish people cannot be foretold. Everywhere—wherever the earth bears a plant or the sea rolls its waves, the Irish nation is planted. Its people are amoDg the foremost soldiers of every battlefield where liberty is the stake, and many of them attain distinction where liberty is enjoyed. Yet poor Ireland has not the privilege of armed revolt against the rule sLe abhors, for her fight is with penury more than the oppressor. The sympathy of the whole world may be affluent with its gifts, but it is idle to talk of sustaining armies when she has no granaries and her -soil is in the keep ing of the spoiler. The pending conflict, therefore, was only the bitterness and not the material elements of war. It is what the world has had over and over again, and is having daily in eve 3-■ bor 5 its fierce grapple will It the j industrious and l righting its j time honored fight n me idle and' c'vr. sequential drone. Here aud eyeiy where the contest is goin.; on, but in 3relsuid the stake is more vital, for it j is a struggle for life ho a ration as well as for subsistence as a people. While the heart of Irish America is poured out in offerings of material aid as the sole tribute to be tendered to the cause, its fervid pulses leap in vain to the imaginary beat at the drum and the trumpet’s Mare, But it was a wise pro vision of the fathers of this great republic that it should never become the self constituted arbiter of any people’s des tiny. What it does by example is more than armies could achieve, because it includes the example of a serene and glorious nation ever at peace with all the world. But the issue in Ireland is war, and the sinews are bread and meat. While under the pitiless writs of ejectment the roadsides are populous with its tenant peasantry from many vacant cabins, the landlord’s tenure is slowly breaking, and his grip on nothing growing weak. On this the battle is to be lost and won, and it is the endurance of Irishmen that must conquer or fall. While the cabins that remain tenanted are shared wun ejected households, popular odiuu, Ireland is lack of power to the Minister j and his act of Parliament, and th id rature. aoOj> l vi' ■Juitthe Thing to Keep In Wine Cellars.

He Bids Farewell to Bin Friend*. iiinto the River, and I* Drowned. Yesterday afternoon about 6 o’clock con siderable excitement was created along the river frocl by a report that a man had com mitted suicide by jumping into the river from the wharf near the foot of Barnard street, and in a short time a large crowd collected in the vicinity. The report proved correct, and arrangements were at once a. ede for the recovery of the body of the unfortunate man. It appear* to have been a case of deliberate suicide. The deceased was a Portugueae colored man named John Francis, who had been living on Bay lane, near Jefferson street, for some time part, and had been in Tevy bad health. Yesterday afternoon about 5 /dock he left Ms bou-e and Wd good to several friends, not, hewsvar, giving wsy intimation of bis Intention, and pro c eded down Barnard street towards the m*er. He waa observed by several colored men who were on William*on’ wharf, whT'h is immediately west of tb* ice wharf at the foot of Bareard street, walking on the wfcarf. When he reached tee edge of the wharf, be looked Into the river and halted, standing for a minute or so, as though pondering upon some mat ter. He was then seen to walk some ten feet, stop and throw away a sheath knife and a ailck which he had been carry ing H*“ then rapidly retraced his steps to wards the river, and, without stopping an instant, sprang from the wharf feet fore most into the water. He sank at onee, and was not seen again. Up to dark last night his body had not been foued. The deceased was about forty-five years old, was a native of Portugal, arid had not been long in this country. He leaves a wife. In conse quence of hit bad health it Is thought his iriind was affected, and notwithstanding his deliberate actions, that he was demented. THE M.IIJKV VISITOR A Comet of the Firm .Vlagnltude- Wlll It Strike the Barth The talk about the Immense cornet which made ita appearance in the nort. leaetern horizon about the 19th Inst., and was first seen in Savannah on the 20th, about three o’doek in the morning, continues the aubiect of general discussion. Many persons have sat up until the time an nounced for its appearanoe to get an ob servation, and well have they been repaid. Yesterday morning it was plainly observa ble at two o’clock, and presented a brll Haul spectacle. It is generally con ceded to be a comet of the first magni-ude, and Us brllllancv, as described by observer*, is far greater than that of the body whose movements have been calcula ted by Blgourdan. Its boundary lines are well defined and converging, and Us bed very dtetihet— large, comparatively, and luminous—while tbe April comet was pro portionately unimposing and of moderate brilliancy. At 2:30 a. m. f Which ia the mott favorable moment for observing It, its posi tion is from 12 degrees to 15 degrees above the horizon, and from 35 degrees to 40 de grees north of the moon, its motion being In an easterly direction, as viewed by the ob server, arid very rapid. I| Ilea In the constellation Auriga, about 8 degrees from Capeila. The apparently solid but luminous centre seems surrounded by a vapory mass—the envelope—which Is daz zling brigbf as compared with the nebaious lustre of the tail. There is, when studied at a power of 50 diameters, an appearance of a deep rent in the structure of the en velope to tbe northeast of the central maw which Is very peculiar and forma a dark space of oval contour, with ragged edges. This phenomenon cau be Identified with an opera glass of ordinary power, but Its fea tures are not fully developed until ac in strument of from 50 to 75 diameters is ap plied, when it assume* the irregularly oval Arid or lacuna of darkness in tbe midst of the highly luminous envelope. Observa tions with high power?, from 100 to 600 diameters, develop the usual phenomena, namely, the resolution of the envelope, which to tbe nsked eye seems homogenous, into vapory, nebulous masses, with inter vening rifts of matter apparently more at tenuated, and resembling tbe nebula of Orion, as recently photographed by Prof. Draper. The configuration of these vapory rnaeses suffers Important alterations from time to time In tbe course of an hour’s ob serration; non-luminous spaces appear and disappear, and the vapor seems to be the theatre of a comparatively rapid movement of nebulous masses. When viewed with a high power—say 600 diameter— the centre prefents the appearance of a ragged disk, and of very limited pro portions as compared with its dimensions when examined with Inferior powers. This phenomenon, due to the revolving power of higher lenses, is accompanied by a light in the central mass of such intensity that that of a planet viewed by the telescope is com paratively dim, showing that a small but appreciably dense interior mass forms tbe basis of the expansive field of nebulous matter. The curve of tbe tail, which i* broader than that, of any comet recently ob served, is to the northwest. The tail broadeus very rapidly from the centre out ward, as compared with similar bodies described in astronomical records, and is extremely well defined, springing from the outer envelope of the central mass! the so called coma> like the blade of a Turkish cimetar from a jeweled handle. The end of the tall, as observed on Thursday night,was between 6 degrees and 7 degrees In breadth, with a length of from 22 degrees to 25 de grees. It a ill not be possible for seyeral days to obtain accurate computation as to t'ne newly discovered body, or even to settle the claims of the various discoverers. It is probable that Prof. Henry Draper will furniah photo graphs with the new lena, which was so successfully applied to tbe nebula of Orion, as the opportunity for photographing is not one to be disregarded. The points to be computed are the ascension and declination and the comparative luminosity. WILL, IT fTKIKE TU* EARTH? On this subject a prominent Northern au thority says: “No one knew of tbe exist ence of this comet prior to Thursday last. On the previous Wednesday it was invisible and beyond the range of the very best tele scopes, but In twenty four hours it became as plainly visible as tbe full moon. This is susceptible of no other meaning than that the comet is rushing directly at the earth, and at a tremendous speed. How far It is distant from u at this precise moment it Is impossible to tell, but if its speed is such that in twenty four hours it could apparent ly grow from Invisibility to a brilliancy eclipsing that of any of the fixed stars, it will reach us before many days are over. “Of late years astronomers have confi dently assured us that were a comet to strike the earth it could do no possible harm, for the reason that comets consist of gas of extreme tenuity. Little by little, however, facts have leaked out which con tradict thla pleasing theory. While there are undoubtedly gaseous comets, there are certainly others having solid nuclei. Then we are told that accompanying every comet is a stream of meteoric bodies, almost infinite in number, and it is even held by certain theorists that the constaut collision between these meteors and tbe sun keeps up tbe heat of the latter. If the new comet is purely gaseous, it may do as no barm be yond suffocating the inhabitants of tbe earth, but if It Is a solid comet, its blow will Inevitably develop heat enough to con vert the earth Instantaneously into incan descent gas. In any event, its accompany ing meteors may be expected to pelt us severely, and a continuous hail storm of Iron meteors, weighing, perhaps, several ton* each would do serious damage to everything on the earth’s surface. “There is, of course, a ehance that tbe comet will not hit the earth. It may be drawn aside by the superior attraction of the sun, and mav fall into that hitherto be neficent body. Such an event would, how ever, give ue very little real satisfaction, since tbe sun’s beat vvoqld be so enormously increased bv the collision that U would burn up the earth as surely and rapidly as the cook is burned wbo kindles her fire with the kerosene cau. Betweau bitting the earth and hitting the sun there would be Uttje to aboose in tbe comet’s conduct. Even were the mooa to devotedly interpose herself be tween the earth and tbe comet, and to re ceive the blow of the latter, our destruction would be none the less Inevitable, for a burning moon would heat us beyond the Urn?* at which life Is possible. “Had it not been conclusively proved that tbe prophecy of Mother Shipton fixing lfigl as the year in which the world is to come to 40 end is a foreerv, tbe unexpected appear ance of tbe comet would convert thousands of people to a full belief in SblptonLm. As H is, those curious lunatics who believe that tbe end of tbe world has been foretold byAbe stones of tbe great pyramid, and that this u tbe last year of the eaatb, will greatly oomforted by the comet. It will be in vain to assure them that the universe is so managed that tbe heavenly bodies cannot run Into one another, for they can reply that meteoric stones def strike the earth, and that a comet Is simply a meteoric stone of extra size. We need not, however, prematurely alarm ourselves. We have never yet been hit by a comet, and pe.hfips we never shall be.” Wbo has not known some specimen of “the bold yeomanry, their country’s pride,” who csrried a Buckeye ia bis pocket, although Ignorant that It contained virtues which have been utilized by Dr. Tabler in hto Buckeye Pile Ointment, an excellent remedy for Piles or Hemorrhoids. je24-F,M,WAwIt Wonted—No Quemlou* Asked. 2,000 men, youths' and boys’ heads to fill Straw and Light Felt Hats at actual cost.

In accords*ee with a call, there was a meeting held at Masonic Temple last eve ning of those interested in tbe important subject of temperance, to take action in regard to the election of delegates to the State Convention, to be held in Atlanta on the fourth of July next. Among the prominent citizens In the au dience were noticed Rev. Chad. H. Strong, Rev. Dr. Bowman, Rev. J. O. Breach. R-v. Geo. C. Thompson and Rev. Richard Webb. There was also a fair attendance of tbe ladies. Sbortlv after eight o’clock the meetinr was called to order by Mr. C. O Lamotte, on whose motion Rev. Emanuel Heldt was unanimous! v elected Chairman. Mr. H. W. Dennis was nominated aad elected Secretary, after which the chair stated briefly that the object of the meeting was to elect delegates ’o the convention to be held in Atlanta on the 4th of July. Prayer was offered by Rev. George G. N. Mac Donnell, and the song “Rescue the Perishing.” was sung by Messrs. Bates and Solomons, tbe latter presiding at the piano, and the audience joining in the chorus. The meeting was then announced ready for business, when Mr. C. O. Lamotte offered tbe following preamble and resolutions, which were unanimously adopted: Wnmn, The liquor traffic is evil, and only erfL adding nothing to the teal wealth of the people, but steadily draining their resources, taxing them at least fifty dollars for rery dollar of revenue it pays into the State Treas ury: destroying the health and lives of thou sands whose labor is necessary to the general orosperity; necessitating tbe employment of hundreds of men on police duty who might be engaged in productive industry; increasing by hundreds of thousands of dollars every year the Expenses involved in prosecuting and pun ishing criminals: corrupting the moral char acter of multitudes who would otherwise be good citizens: causing direoly eight tenths of the crime commit ted. ani seven-tenths of the cases of hopeless insanity, and nearly all the pauperism that curses the land: changing hus bands and fathers into fiends who are a terror to those entitled to their love and protection; and more and more threatening to undermine and destroy our national and social well-being. And whereas. The right to protect itself from whatever is fatal or even injurious to its best interests inheres in every organized com munity and ought to be asserted whenever the necessity arises. And whereas. In the case under considera tion this natural right of self-protection can be effectively enforced only through appro priate legislation. Therefore. Retolved, That we. the citizens of Chatham countv. in mass meeting assembled, do most heartily endorse the efforts now making throughout the Ptate of Georgia to secure the enactment of such laws aa will utterly destroy the traffic in strong drink. Resolved, That we do earnestly invoke the aid of the women and young men and maidens of the State in creating and fostering a public sentiment that will authoritatively demand such legislation as will protect our native land from the accursed business that is causing poverty and crime and wretchedness untold. Resolved. That we pledge ourselves to co operate with the temperance people of the State in urging upon the Legislature tbe pass age of a prohibitory law applicable to the whole State, as a general local option law, that shall give to every county and every incorpo rated town the right to prohibit the liquor traffic within its bounds, as may be deemed best Mr. Lsmotte followed tbe adoption of these resolutions in a lengthy and well timed address, in which he introduced the annexed opinions of the Supreme Court of the United States and the State of Georgia bearing upon this important subject: Supreme Court of Georgia, August term, 1855. James P. Perdue, Clerk, etc vs. William J. Ellis. Mandamus—from Spaulding. The petition in this case sets forth tha* by the charter of the city of Griffin, it is provided that the Mayor and Council shad have power to license persons to retail and sell, by retail, vpirituous liquors in said city, and also to levy a tax of not exceeding 50 per cent, over the State tax on ail persons, professions and prop erty within the corporate limits of said city subject to taxation by the laws of the State. Ordinance passed requiring license fee of SSOO for retailing. Petitioner applied for license and offered to pay SSO and tender the usual bond, which was refused by tha Clerk. Petitioner anp.ied to the Superior Court for a mandamus compelling the Clerk to issue the license, which was granted by Judge Starke, from which de cision respondents in the court below excepted. Judge Lumpkin, delivering the opinion of the court, said: The record does not disclose, nor can we very readily understand upon wh.v principle our brother Ktarke ordered p emplory mandamus to issue commanding fb Clerk of the Council to grant a license upo the pay ment of fifty dollars If this was the sum formerly paid, the ordinance requiring it was repealed, and a fee of fvs substituted in its place. Tfie price, therefore, was SVJO or noth ing. The fact that SSO is the penalty pre scribed for retailing without license, both by the State law and the city ordinance, is no rea son. of course, why the payment of that sum in advance should entitle the applicant to a re tail license, and upon this ground alone the plaintiff in error might obtain a reversal of the judgment belew. (1) But not to rest the decision of so im portanta question upon such narrow ground, we will consider the case as it has been dis cussed. U ivpne undoubtedly of the utmost magnitude. The question is one of power and not of ej> pediency. The former is for the courts, while the latter belongs to another and more appro priate forum—tie ballot box. Has the General Assembly of Georgia tbe right, should the public good require it, and public opinion demand it, to pass a law to re strict or even suppress the traffic In spirits Have they the power to delegate this authority to a municipal corporation to be .exercised within its limits And has this privilege been conferred on tbe city c f Griffin These are thepoiats to be adjudicated. By the constitution of lies (1688 and 1877) it is declared that the General Assembly shall have power to mike all laws and ordinances which they shall deem necessary and proper for the good of tbe State which shall not be re pugnant to the constitution of this State or of tne United States. It is not pretended that such an act would violate any provision of our state constitution. Would it impair the Constitution of the United States, any law made in pursuance thereof, or any national treaty) Whatever doubts may have evisted in eighteen hundred and thirty nine or before or since, liere or elsewhere, upon this subject it is now no longer an open question. Tne license laws of Massachusetts, Rhode Island and New Hampshire were brought be -sore the Supreme Court at Washington at it* January term, 1817. They were ably and fully argued by Mr. Webster, Mr. Choate and many of the leading lawyers of the Union, and it was unanimously decidedt hat the acts of these sev eral States were not inconsistent with any of the provisions of the Federal Constitution or statutes of Congress under it. (5 How., S. C. Ki-p 501). Six of the Justices gave separate opinions aanh for himself- Chief Justice Taney says “These laws re stricting the domestic traffic, may discourage imports and diminish the price which ardent spirits would otherwise bring, still the State is not bound to abstain from tbe passage of any law tyhich it may deem necessary or advisable to guard the health or morals of its citizens. And if any State deems the retail and internal traffic in ardent spirits injurious to its citizens and calculated to produce idleness, vice and debauchery, I see nothing in the Constitution of the United States to prevent it frotq regu lating and restraining the traffic or from prohibiting it altogether.” Said Mr. Justice McLean: “In all matters of fovernment, and especially of police, a wide iscretion is necessary. It is notsusueptible of any exact limitation, but must be exercised under tbe changing exigencies of society. In tbe progress of population, wealth and civili zation. new and vicious indulgencies spring up, which require restraint* that can only be im posed by tbe legislative power. And when this power is exerted, how Far it shall be car ried, and when it shall cease mustjtnainly de pend upon the evil to be remedied, it is clear that a law of a State U not rendered uncon stitutional by an incidental reduction of importation, and especially is this not the case when the State regulation has a salutary tendency on society and is founded on the highest moral coneiderati .ns” Said Mr. Justice Catron: “I admit at inevita ble that if the State has the power of restraint by license tp cqy ertent. she has the disc re tionarv power to judge of the limit, and may go to the length ot prohibiting sale i altogether, if such be her policy. And if the court cannot interfere in the case before us (and he admitted it could not), so neither could we interfere in the extreme case of entire exclusion except to prqtept imports belong ing to foreign commerce as already defined; and the reasons, continued Justice Catron, are obvious. We have no power to inquire into abuses, if such there be, inflicted by State authority upon the inhabitants of the State, unless such abuses are repugnant to the Con stitutloß.laws or treaties of the United State*" Said Mr. Justice Woodbury: “From the first settlement of this country, and in most other nations ancientCr modern, civilised or savage, it b*s been found' useful to discountenance excesses In tbe use of intoxicating liquor. And Without enterjpk ifito the question npre, whether legislation may not in this as in other matters become at time* intemperate, and react iciudiclously to the statutory objects sought to be promoted, it is enough to say, under the general aspect of it, tfla' the legis lation here t* neither novel nor extraordinary, nor apparently designed to promote other ob ject* than physical, moral and social improve ment. On the contrary, its tendency is clearly to reduce ratnil.' expenditure, secure health, lessen pauperism and crime, and co-operate with rather than counteract the apparent policy of the General Government itself in respect to tfie disuse of ardent spirits. They aim. then, af a right object- they are calcu lated to proiqote it; they are adapted to no other, acd no other or sinister 0 r improper view can, therefore, pitfler with delicacy or truth, be imputed to those acts/' Finally Mr. Justice Greer said: “It is not necessary for the sake of justifying the State legislation, now under consideration, to array the appallini- statistics of misery, pauper ism and crime which have tteir origin in tb* uso or abuse of ardent spirits. The police power, which is ex clusively in the States, is alone competent to tbe correction of these great evils, and all measures of restraint or prohibition necessary to effect the purpose are within the scope of that authotity. There is no conflict of power or of legislation as between the States and the United Slates. Each is acting within its sphere for the public good, add ir a loss! of revenue should accrue to the United States from the diminished consumption of ardent spirit*, she will be the gainer a thousand fold ifa the health, wealth agd happiness of the peo ple” Thus, ifr-wiil be perceived that this high tribunal, whose peculiar office it is to protect the Constitution of the United States from all encroachments, and which has manifested hitherto no reluctance in the per formance of this duty, hold, nemine contradicente, that it is competent for a State, in the exercise of its reserved rights and ac knowledged jurisdiction.to pas* any law which it may deem necessary or advisable to guard the health or etowi tSmfoSessen the revenue of the GeoSfwv ernment. aad that such laws would be entirety prohibiting sairo partially or entiriy irlthifi limi&B of thf S&A&O. Tbe following resolution untulmoue- That the Savannah Mowing News be requested to publish the decisions read by Mr. Lamotte, and that all papers throughout the State be requested to copy the same. r* Rev. Dr. Bowman was then called on. and made a meat earnest andlordble speech, in which he com men led In strong term* upon the laches of State and municipal authorities in record to the Sunday prohibition lawa. His remarks were to tbe point and were listened to with intense interest. On motion a committee of fire were ap pointed to present suitable names to the meeting as delegates to represent Chatham county In the convention to be held Id At lanta on the 4tii proximo. Tbe chair ap pointed as that committee Messrs. J. H. Estill, C. O. Lamotte, R-r. J. O. Branch, D. L. Jackson and J. M. Harrison. The committee retired, and, after con sultation, reported as follows: Delegate*—H. G. Everitt, W. C. Neid lineer and E. 3. Kennedy. Alternates—D. L. Jackson, E. F. Cuu- Birghfiffi and L. P. Ashby. On motion, the report was adopted and the delegates elected. On motion tbe chair was instructed to appoint at his leisure a Temperance Execu tive Committee for the county of Chatham. The following wxs then adopted: Resolved, That the thanks of this meeting be *nd they are hereby extended to Mr. J. A. Bate* for furnishing the beautiful selec tion of songs which has been used at this meeting, and for kindly leading in the mu sical portion of the exercises. There being no further business, the meeting then adjourned. A Slight Conflagration. About four o'clock yesterday morning Policeman Prid?eon, who was on duty on Broughton street, discovered smoke Issuing from the building at the southwest corner of Broughton and Montgomery streets, occupied as a grocery store by Messrs. 8. 8. Newton and J. H. Kemps. He rapped on the door loudly to arouse the par ties who Irere sleeping in the upper rooms, and then hastening to the corner of Whita ker, gave an alarm from station No. 14, which brought out the department in a few minutes. The occupants of tbe upper rooms were sound sleepers, and It was with difficulty they were aroused and managed to escape from tbe building, whieh was being rapidly fi led with smoke. The prompt action of the fire department on their arrival prevented a serious con flagration, and the slight damage occasioned is due to their efficient services. The fire originated in the front part of the store, and is supposed to have been occasioned by tbe ignition of some matches, for which the rats are blamed. There were about $4,000 worth of good#, upon which there was SI,OOO insurance, in the Willlamsburgh City Insurance Company of New York, repre sented here by Captain John F. Wheaton. The building belonged to the estate of McLeod, represented by Col. John C. Dell, of Scriven county, and was also I toured in agencies represented by Capt. Wheaton. Superior Court. Hon, Wh. B. Fleming, Ju lge, presiding. Court met at 10 o'clock a. ta. yesterday, when the following business was transacted: In re. application of Ch. Lmg for ex emption, and 8. Guckenhefmer Cos., cavea tors. Appeal from Court of Ordinary. Ap peal dismissed. P. M. R. W. Russell for applicant; Garrard Meldrim for caveators. Julia C. F. Warren vs. Joseph Warren. Libel for divorce. Order granted to perfect service upon defendant by publication. Isaac Beckett libellant’s attorney. Christopher Morphy, trustee, et al, com plainants, and the Mayor and Aldermen of Savannah, defendants. This cause was called, and argument heard on Monday up to the hour of adjournment. Oa yesterday the argument was concluded, and tbe de cree given by the eourt. It was a bill filed by Murphy, as trustee for his three minor children, and also as their next friend, claim ing a fund of some SII,OOO in the hands of the city derived from the sale of a lot of land on the corner of Liberty and Drayton streets, which had been re -entered for non payment of ground rent. The city ob jected to paying over this fund to Murphy as trustee under a former trust deed for his deceased wife and children, but desired to pay it to Murphy a3 guardian or next friend of bis children upon good bond being given bv him. The court held that the city should not pay the money to Murphy as trustee, because the trust deed was abrogated by the city’s re-entry, but that, although the city had a right to the entire fund after satisfy ing all taxes, expenses and charges, yet as the corporation wa* willing to pay over the surplus to the surviving beneficiaries under the trust deed, that the money should be paid to the guardian of the minors, who should execute legal bonds before the Or dinary. Chisholm Erwin for complainants; 11. C. Cunningham and Henry B. Tompkins for the city. Whaley Clary vs. Robinson 1 Brown lee. Motion for new trial —from Mclotosh county. Argument was beard In chambers in this case from 9 to 10 a. m., when It was adjourned over. L. H. de Montmollin for defendants; Tompkins Denmark for plaintiffs. C. 11. McLeod, complainant, and C. F, S'ubb6 Cos., defendants. Bill in equity. This cause came on for argument upon a demurrer filed by tbe defendants, and, after argument during almost the whole day up to fi p. m., the court sustained the demurrer and dismissed tbe bill. Lester Ravenel for complainants; Tompkins Denmark and Chisholm A Erwin for defendants. Court adjourned to 10 a. m. to-day. The Drayton Street blip. Editor Morning News In yesterday’s issue of your paper you make a valuable suggestion respecting the utilizing of the sand excavated from the Wilcox Gibbs vaults by closing in the slip at foot of Drayton 6tree'c, and were it not for the fact that the Legislature can alone authorize this to be done, the suggestion should be acted on by the City. Council. By an act of the General Assembly, pass ed June 9,1761, it was enacted “that the several Iqts hereinafter mentioned, etc., shall be and continue for tha uses and pur poses to which bv this act they are respect ively appropriated, and shall not be aliened or granted awav to, or used)—-omission of word In act —for any other use or purpose whatever, utdessby act of the General Assem bly,” and arnoDg other lots mentioned are “the water lots at the end of every street," one of which is the Drav’on street flip. In the year 1872 or the City Council closed up certain public slips along tbe line of wharves, and assumed control over them, leasing them to parties, and thus diverting tnem from tbe original dedication as pub lic wharves or 6lipa, under the Impression that this power to appropriate any of tbe property reserved for public use vested In the corporation by the acts of 1787, 1825 and 1872; but, after doing so, grave doubt being expressed upon the subject, air act of the Legislature was passed in February, 1874, legalizing the action of Council as to these wharf lots, and there can be no doubt that under tbe legis lative act first mentioned that the city can not, without the sanction of the General A a sembly, cloee up these open spaces at the end of the streets, and I have no doubt upon the subject when I say that even with legis lative sanction were these slips closed they cannot, with or without such sanction, be used for any other puroose than public pur poses.
