Governor Hill, of New York,

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.

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. AVhen we hear men

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

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.

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

??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

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.

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?

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

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

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.

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

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.

A newspaper purports to chronicle
the news of the day, mid to contain the
opinions of the editor on matter that
concern- the public. Consequently its
columns arc.iio place to express tiie i
the tender emotions of his heart for
an individual. When the editor t'eeis
that lie is t ubbling over with lone,
j sympathy, and friendship for an ac-j
quaintance, a private letter would be
tlie more lining way to convey this
information than through his paper. ;
It would at least be more modest and
would perhaps have a belter effect.

in the United Sv/'es is decreasing
every year. Sudden
deaths from nervous collapse
among our business, professional
and public men are so
frequent as scarcely to excire
remark. The majority of suicides,
committed without apparent
rer-son, or under so-called
"depression of spirits," are
really'prompted by nervous
prostration, which is a fruitful
source of insanitv and crime

with ail their gnet ana Horror.
These facts are startling.
They threaten the very life of
the nation. They assail the
springs of its power and prosperity.
They wreck manhood's
strength and woman's usefulness
and beauty.
Every one should know the
causes. What are they ? The
answer is easy and terribly
plain: Our vicious personal
habits; our earless ana lawless
eating arid <i-inking; the intense
mental and physical strain
arising from our mad race after
money, pox:; '< >u and iniiuence;
the fears and struggles of poverty;
the use of narcotics and
stimulants; our fashion of
turning day into night and
