Governor Hill, of New York, was visited a few days ago by a lunatic. The Star suggests that he must j have escaped when the Legislature of i that State adjourned. Those who are familiar with the general make-up of modern legislative assemblies will see a high degree of probability in the suggestion. The left wing of the Democratic press is inclined to make light of the "labor vote." But to do so seriously is certainly the climax of folly. It is true there is 110 earthly use for a labor j party, but it is here, and it can't be ridiculed away either, ureivances real and imaginary mast be looked after or the Democracy will lose several doubtful States, which will be exactly equivalent to losing the election. "A stitch in time saves nine." "We publish in another column an editorial from the Christian Index, the organ of the Georgia Baptists, on the "National Reform Association," its object, etc. It is a timely and able discussion of the subject with which it deals. The idea of a State church is pagan; it is a legacy which Rome bequeathed to the early Christian church, and among the best works of the reformation was the repudiation of this doctrine.

V*. in the Sharp case has become convinced of the guilt of the defendant "simply by observing his looks and actions daring the preliminary proceeding." Perhaps he is guilty, perhaps not. Be that it may, however, that juror ought to be taken at once off the panel and pat in the asylnm, or somewhere else, where he will not be likely to be drawn again to pass upon the guilt or innocence of any ma?. There are, doubtless, great difficulties in the way of adopting a practical standard of intelligence for the jury box, but it is just possible that the law-making power may tackle the problem before long anyhow. JOHX Sherman* wants to be President worse than Blaine does, but John will never get there. He permitted himself to be made the tool of a conspiracy to steal the Presidency in 1876, and the odium of that transaction, successful though it was, will follow him to the end. Like the Ghost of Bancho, it will not down. John's career is a ^ solemn warning to ambitious politicians; he is an able man, and there is every reason to believe that had he conducted himself properly that he would have been made President. In a moment of temptation, however, he yielded, forgetting that men may be mean enough to seek the services of a thief, and get virtuous enough to despise him for his meanness. He will never be President. Is therl a "new South?" Some newspapers seem to doubt it, but it is a living fact. The South is new in ideas, systems of life and purpose. It must be so because all the conditions were changed by the war, and the people were forced "to change to fit themselves to those conditions. The old South was very beautiful for those who were in the position to enjoy the beauty of it, but the conditions were not wholesome. The change is for the better and ought to be accepted and welcomed. But it should be the care of this generation to make sure that the good of the old be not forgot in the acceptance of the new. ?*o material gains could repay the South for the loss of the delicate care for personal honor, the reverence for womanhood, the demand for courage, the sturdy independence, the pride of stock and State which gave trie Old soutn an its reai sireugm uuu glory, and can make the new South the ideal land and its people the greatest of all people?a people in whom thrift and generosity, industry and courage, energy and chivalry, patience and pride, enier prise and rigid integrity shall be combined.? Greenville Neics. Nobody can say a thing in a better manner than the editor of the Greenville JYctcs. * Subscriptions to Kailroads. In many counties in this State subscriptions have been voted to railroad enterprises, and the work of debtmaking still goes on. There are some very intelligent men in the State now who are in position to know more about these things than most of us, who are predicting that the time will come when a majority of the counties having made more debts than they will be able or anxious to pay will bring forward and carry through the Legislature a proposal to have the State assume the indebtedness of the counties in this particular incurred? already we believe such a proposal has been once made. If was lost only because the debt-burdened counties were in the minority. At the rate that things are moving now it will not be a great while before insolvency will be in the majority, then the wicked proposal will be renewed and the debts which the folly of the townships have contracted will be saddled upon the people of the State. It will be in vain that the minority will struggle against and denounce this outrage; it will be forced upon us. The truth about the whole matter is, ga?bbbp?iaacasi i i i n lunaa? that the law which allows a township to vote a tax upon itself for any purpose is altogether wrong; the taxing power should be used only by the Legislature, and for strictly governmental purposes alone. Auy departure from this principle is heretical; it is a crime against liberty itself. The law should be straightway repealed. 31ittsis.sii>i>i Moves. While the world is moving Missis. sippi does not lag behind. Among the Innumerable chtterences growing out of the unfortunate Hamilton-Gambreli alluir was a little spat, the other day, between Editor Anderson, of the Kosciusko Star, and Editor Clifton, of the Jackson Clarion. It seems that Editor Anderson did not like Editor Clifton's testimony in the Ilamilton-Ganibreir case. He said so in plain terms in his paper and rej marked that his brother editor had "branded himself with damning and eternal infamy." Of course Editor Clifton was not going to swallow such language. He at once posted a note to the Kosciusko man requesting him to name a time and place outside the State where he would receive "a communication." i Editor Anderson knew exactly what this meant, but he promptly replied that he regarded the course suggested as a roundabout method to avoid.a fight, and while he was ready for a | personal encounter he would stand no ; monkey business about it. On account of the legal consequences he would not engage in a duel, but he would be found at Kosciusko,, or he would agree upon any other point in the State, pro' vided they could fight without making the affair a duel. The speedy binding over of both gentlemen to keep the peace prevented further developments, but it is the general impression that the editor of i Kosciusko Star has knocked the stuffing out of the "code" without in any way laying himself liable to the sus In all probability the two will in a short time come to a better understanding-, and they will then be sincerely glad that they did not shoot it out in the old-fashioned style. ?Atlanta Constitution. ??m <gB? The Great Piedmont Fair. The Piedmont Exposition to come off in Atlanta, Ga., iu October next promises' to be a grand alfair. It is gotten up for the special purpose of advertising the resources of the Piedmont region and should be liberally encouraged. Xo one thing- lias accomplished more, perhaps, in the way of developing modern industries, than great expositions. It is on such occasions that the people and the products of sections widely separated are brought together; there is an inter-change of ideas and a consequent impetus to progress in every field of human effort. A world's exposition is an advertisement that pays, and we are glad to note that the efforts of the enterprising citizens of Atlanta to make known to the world the marvelr. "oas \voaltdi of resources tiiat CVCll now slumbers in the Piedmont region is meeting with that measure of success which it certainly deserves. Speaking with reference to the matter, the Atlanta Constitution of Jane 10 says: It is necessary that applications for space should be made promptly. The directors have already provided one hundred and fifty thousand square feet of space. If it is necessary to have more buildings in order to accommodate exhibitors this fact should be known as soon as possible. Atlanta's heart is in the enterprise, and her whole people are ready to back the directors m anything thai: is necessary to make it a complete success. The directors from president down are working witnont saiary una givms their whole time te the work. Now", let every city, every town, every community, every individual, in the Piedmont region that has anything that would be interesting to show, or that gives an idea of the riches of this section, undoubtedly the richest section of the i-epublic, send forward at once his application for space, stating ex: actly what he proposes to show and exactly the space he needs. The cotton exposition found it necessary * > -i i~ during lilC lasi IIIUUIU iu uanuv as many exhibits as they had already exhibited, it being impossible to erect new buildings in time for their accommodation. It is earnestly hoped that the Piedmont Exposition will not have to curtail its show in the same way. The directors are ready to furnish the buildings if the exhibitors will only j make known their wants in time. Our people should not lose this opportunity advertise to the world the resources of our fields, factories, mines, quarries, etc. It is by this means that communities are boomed and grow rich. It will not be known for example that Fairfield county has the finest undeveloped granite quarries in the we rid until the fact lias been told. Let us put our resources on exhibition at the Piedmont Fair in October and give the world an object-lesj son that it will not forget. -so?? Citcumstances Alter Cases. When John Sherman was in Nashville he made Mugwump speeches; he "thanked God that the war was over, and avowed that the courage, the bravery and the fortitude of both sides was the pride and the heritage of us all." He saw, too, in the South evidences of thrift and prosperity, the promise of a splendid future in this scstion of "our common country." But when John gets back to the'West, where stalwartism is the fashion, his "Mug j wuinpian" principles arc remorselv repudiated; ancl the sole survivor of the Hayes infamy, after the manner of Demosthenes, speaks: i "What language can express the cruel and barbarous atrocity of the controlling elements of the South in their treatment of Republicans, both white and black, and especially of the freedmen who had been invested by constitutional amendments with liberty and political rights? Taking advantage of the defection of Andrew Johnson and his reconstruction policy, they commenced with laws that denied the freedmen liberty of speech and of the press, and even the personal freedom and protection allowed by the law of the most despotic powers iu Europe to the meaizest serf, followed by whole sale assassination of unarmed and undisci[ lined negroes, inflicted by secret, organized and disguised bands, using all the agencies of terror and superstition that could afl'ect the mind of an ignorant and credulous people with buch success that in ten years after the war the freedmen of the South could not. as a rule, vote wherever their vote would change the result; they could hold no office, and might be cheatcd and robbed and murdered with impunity. This intimidation was, in many places, especially in the far South, extended to white Republicans of char1? atom/* a omAncr tliArr. CfcVslVi. ttllU uiiivtig tuvu< some Confederalc soldiers, who resisted as far as they could these atrocities, and were branded vith opprobrious epithets, tabooed and ostracised, and in some cases murdered. Does any man deny this? All this and more, in hideous detail, was proved before committees of Congress, was reported by officers of the army, and evidenced by every form of proof known to courts, and, in many cases, was admitted by the press and people of the South and defended. Gen. Raum, a distinguished citizen of Illinois, has, in the book I have before me, compiled and condenced this evi deuce, and 1 say to you that 110 man csn read it without being convinced that all I say is true, with revolting details that I do not give. In this way and by these means the Democratic party in the South now hold in solid and unbroken array every Southern State, with increased political power conferred by the freedom of the slaves. This is the basis of their power. Without the terror and ostracism I have described, several of these States, governed by their interests and convictions, enlightened by free discussion, emancipated iu fact as well as in name, would be thoroughly Kepublican as Illinois. It is said that this this is raising the bloody shirt; renewing the animosities of the war. I deny it. The charge is an unjust reproach of Confederate soldiers. What I speak of is not the work of soldiers, but of cowards and criminals, not in war, but in peace. I pity the man who cannot distinguish between the duty of soldiers and the self-imposed cruelties and barbarous methods bom of slavery. In closing Mr. Sherman said: It is said that the Republican party had been long in power. Our Democratic friends wanted to turn the rascals out. What rascals have they found in? "What wrong or peculation have they found in the books? I can with confidence and pride say to you that no administration of this or any government has been more free from corruption, fraud or peculation than the Republican Administrations from Lincoln to Arthur, both included. The Republican party has justified itself in was and in peace. It is the only party in this country that can give you a" national, patriotic, liberty loving, fraud-hating and Dusiness administration. It enters into the lists this year and next year proud of its record, with no apologies to make, no crimes to repent of, no people deprived by it of their rights. It has stood the test of defeat and retirement with unquestioning acquiescence, though it was brought about by crime. If the aspirations of the Republican party, which, according to Mr. Sherman, was so virtuous in the manner of its retirement, are correctly interpreted bp him, it is as little worthy of office as he is. John changes his convictions with dramatic facility; in his mad thirt for office there seems to De r.o principle that he will not sacrifice, and no cause that he will not unhesitatingly betray. lie is not a worthy leader of men. The Supreme Court ami the Constitution. "The Abbeville Press and Banner has been rather severe in its criticisms on the Supreme Court in regard to the decision of that tribunal in the case of Aultman, Taylor Co. v. Rush. It charged that the decision of the Court was unconstitusional, and we invited the Press and Banner to show exactly in what particular the decision was opposed to the Constitution. And by way of complying with our request our contemporary publishes a recent decision of Judge Fraser in Sibley v. Parks, and refers us to the dissenting opinion of Associate Jusliee McGotran in the Hush case. As to the opinion of Justice aicGowan we have never said that it was not the better view to be taken of the Statute, we believe that a strong public policy, which should always weigh with the Court, invited such a construction.?"We are speaking, however, with reference to Justice McGowan's conclusion, and would not be understood as approving all of the reasoning of the learned Judge. "We do not think that he succeeded | in showing that the opinion of ftis associates was unconstitutional; nor do wc think that Judge Fraser has shown it. The fallacy of Mr. Justice McGowan's argument on this point is in the assumption which he makes that a mortgage is an "alienation," whereas it was expressly provided by statute before the adoption of the Constitution that a mortgage shall not have this effect. Judge Frasers reasoning is on the same line and is subject to like objection. Mr. Justice McGowan defiues an ''alienation" very properly: "To alienate is to pass property from one person to another." "To sell, convey, give," etc. But unfortunately for his opinion in the Itush case the Act of the Legislature of 1797 provides that the "mortgagor shall be deemed owner of I .. , , - _ ^ ^ J tlie ianci ana inc mungugev as utmn ; of the money lent or due." That is, j that a mortgage is not an alienation; i 110 property "passes from one person j to another."! Now all that the Constitution does ! is to provide that? The real and personal property of a i woman, held at the time of her marj riage, or that which she may thereafter ! acquire, either by gift, grant, inherii tance, devise, or otherwise, shall not ! be subject to levy and sale for her j husband's debts; but shall be held as i her separate property, and may be bej queathed, devised, or alienated by her | the same as if she were unmarried: : Provided, that 110 gift or grant from ! the husband to the wife shall be detri j memai to Uie juat> UiUMiia UJ. ma I,n,u: itor?. (Art. xiv., S. S.) Before the adoption of the Coustitu1 lion the property of a married woman, 1 unless conveved to a trustee for her 1 ~ I separate use, might be taken for her : husband's debts; the moment that the i marriage was soiemized the "ma: I aF; ; rights of the husband attached and his creditors might levy upon and sell his | wife's property for the satisfaction of ! their claims. ! All that the Constitution of 1SG8 ir^?Bfiniun?as?patininni .1 m intended to do was to remove this "common iaw disability," to employ a phrase of the lawyers, and this they did. The framers of the Constitution, I however, left it to the Legislature to j say just to what extent a married ; woman should be allowed to bind her-: self by contract, and how far she should go in the way of mortgaging her property lor the payment of her ! husband's and other people's debts, ; Upon this subject several acts were passed, some of them giving her unlimited power, ethers limiting her power. Xow we claim that all of this - 1 was competent since tne v^onsutuuon | opened up to the Legislature this field of action. "We see nothing in ths Constitution to prevent the Legislature from passing an act if it wanted to expressly providing that "a mortgage by a married woman for the payment of husband's debt shall be void" since a mortgage is not an "alienation." The decision of the Supreme Qonrt in Anltman, Taylor & Co. v. Rash may not be right, bat it is not unconstitu- j tional. This being our view of the matter, we will of course decline, to comply with the request of the Press and Banner, and "cite authorities" to show I tliit "ncin" nrnnw* mpans fur thp. "hpn " i efit of." We suspect, however, that it j was just in this sense that the Legisla- j ture used the potent phrase. A Christian Nation?A Christian Govern- j ment. (Christian Index.) In our view there is no such thing as a Christian nation, or as a Christian government, nor is it possible that there should be any such thing as ! either of them. "YYe can conceive of j such a thing as a nation composed ! wholly of Christian people, exclud- I :ng, of course, according to our Baptist ideas, all who, by reason of tender years or for other cause, are incapable of Christiau faith; but the nation itself, taken as a unit, can be neither I Christian nor unchristian. There j might be a government administered j wholly by Christian men, by the gov- j eminent itself, being merely a secular; arrangement for secular purposes, and being wholly incapable of Christian experience, cannot possibly be Christrian. As well speak of a Christian banking company, or a Christian railroad, or a Christian saw mill. Religion is not a national affair; ii is purely a private matter; it refers to j our personal relations to a persoEal [God; each man renders his own ac| count and not another's. We snouia dc giaa 10 see a uuuuu ui j Christians, so far as such a thing is possible; but so long as children are born with depraved natures, no nation can be composed wholly 'of Christian people. We should be* glad to see a government administered wholly by Christian men. But these desirable ends cannot be brought about by passing resolutions, or by legal enactments, or by constitutional amendments. If the Constitution of the United States were to declare that the Bible is the "Word of God, and thifc it is our only rule of faith and practice, and that" Jesus Christ is the Soi of God and the Saviour of mankind, the people of the United Staces woull be no better than they are now. Tjere would be no more genuine Christians -. tJirt efon/^orvl nf r\?p.fv and I;x LllKJll- HO 5 111V V? good morals would not be elevated. The Jews and some others would, of, goin'flf, -???* we?Ytrorrtd ~t7<r obliged either to allow them to treat our Constitution with scorn and contempt, and in fact, to trample it under foot, or to force them into submission by punishment. "We should be obliged either to fine them, or subject them to some severe disability, or put them in the penitentiary or in the chain-gang, or hang them. . Perhaps some of them might propose to hang us. We do not think that it would promote the cause of true religion to force any such issue. As Baptists we shall forever protest against anything which interferes with soul liberty; for this is our grand watch-word. As Baptists we J shall foi ever contend for individualism (in religion; for this is our most distinguishing characteristic. As a parent cannot repent and believe for his child, but for himself only, and as a king cannot be a religious proxy for his subjects, so neither can a ltepublic possess faith for its citizens. Each man must do this for himself, and no man can do it for another. As Baptists we shall do our best to bring all the people in the whole world to Christ; but we shall do this only by faithful and earnest preaching of the gospel, by argument, and by persuasion and prayer. We certainly shall ask no aid from legislation, The kind of religion that we preach cannot be legislated into people. As Baptists we shall forever contend for the complete separation of Church and State. We are willing to render to Caesar the things that are Caesar's, but never will we render to Caesar the things that are God's. True religion needs 110 aid from the State. A religion which does need aid from the State is spurious, and the sooner it goes by the board the better. As citizens of the State we have a right to the protection of the State, in the exercise of such religion as we may prefer, whether Christian ! or not; or, in the abssnce of all relij gion, which is the case, we are sorry ' to say, with vast numbers of our peo,, pic. So long as any man, whether religions or irreligious, violates no duty of citizenship, he is entitled to protection. But this is all he is en - -t, * - ..1- iL titled to. lie has no ngnt to usk iau State to enforce his views ot religious truth and religious obligation on any of his fellow-citizens. There is in the United States what is called the National lleforin Association. Its object is to urge the adoption of an amendment to the Constitution which shall declare that this is a Christian nation, and that the Bible is part of the law of the land. Our statement may not be accurate, for we have no documents before us, but we tnink we have not misstated the drift and intent of the amendment proposed. From what has been said it will be seen that we are not in sympathy with the movement. It is one of the isms recently brought here, among others, from a higher latitude, and which we hope will not take root in Southern soil. 11111 3 nc(>?uv M. wuuvvx Is the very best remedy ever offered for sale for the cure of Constipation, Indigestion, Dyspepsia and Siclc Headache.

The Confederate .Sohliers who Sleep in Unmarked Graves?The Tribute of an Ohio lit!i"or to the 3Ien who are Buried on Johnson's Island. Ohio Soldiers' and Sailors' Home, ? Zaxesville, Oiiio, June 1, 1ks7. <j To the Editor of the JSrem and Courier: On Monday of this week, at the invitation of a Grand Army Post at Sandusky, Ohio. I accompanied that patriotic organization on a mission of goodwill to Johnsoir.s Island, in Sandusky Bay, where throe hundred Confederate soldiers are buried, to garland the graves oi: the strangers in a strange laud. The dead were once soldiers who had baa led ior what they believed to hi the right, and by the fortunes of war were captured aud sent to Johnson's Island as prisoners. As a soldier who served on the side opposed to them, I. could not but be pained at the at the condition of their graves. McMeen's Post of the Grand Army of .he Republic on each JJOthof May bedtcks :!;e little mounds with choicest flowers, and on one day ot the year at least their iast resting places are not forgotten; but the dust ot a brave man. no matter in what cause he fought, deserves to rest in a more inviting s-.>ot. The G. A. II. cannot provide means for caring for the little graveyard; our members have done all that it is possible to accomplish. In a conversation, this afternoon, with an exCon federate soldier of vour city, now temporarily residing in Zanesville, I inrmi?Wl f cnnlil inn thr> nmnft of a prominent ex-Confederate soldier to whom i could write, and lie mimed you. Tills is my apology for this intrusion. I have no suggestion to ofl'er, except that some means should te devised for purchasing the small plot of groun :1 set apart as a graveyard, enclose it with a substantial fence, and erect durable markers at cacli grave, or a monument on which might be inscribed the names of the dead. The wooden head-boards, with a halfdozen exceptions, lie rotting on the ground. On one of them I saw, rudely carved, the suuare and compass of a Master Mason; on another, the three links of an Odd Fellow, and I doubt not ail of these boards once marked the little hillock where* rested the remains of a man or boy who left a comfortable home, father, mother, wife and children for the dread uncertainty of war. If I can be of any service in furthering a movement in the South for improving this ''Confederate Cemetery," as it is called, by furnishing ecsired information, or in anv other direction, I shall cheerfully do what I can. An effort was once made to purchase the land, but it failed, in just what manner or for what reason I do not know. I am not moved by mere sentiment in this matter, bat I" have a soldier's pride in seeing human beings decently interred after death and their last resting places sacredly cared for.
