As will bo soon from various dispatches from Washington to tho Nows and Cou rlor, publishod olsowhoro In this issuo, Sonator John L. McLaurin bas boon sue cosBful in procuring tho promise of J'resi dont MoKiuloy and his Cabinet to make a splondid government exhibit nt thu Charleston Exposition, notwithstanding tho failure of Congress to make an ap propriation. .Some details have yet. to bo worked out, but the exhibit is as sured. This comes as a pleasant sur prise, when even the News and Cornier and tho most indent friends of the expo sition lind abandoned thu idea of having an exhibit by the National Coverument, since tho failure of Congress to pass Un desired appropriation of $200,000. Hut this is another illustration of the old saying that lhere are more ways than ono of doini; a thing, and it lins been due to the deft handling of a delicate matter by Senator McLaurin thal "Uncle Sam's" tender spot bas been touched with bis smiling approval. Tho fine exhibit made by our govern mont at tho World's Kair at l'aiis has boon brought back to the Buffalo Expo sitien, and it will bu transferred to the Charleston Exposition next fall. And, by tho way, this may not bo an inopportune timo to say that when il comes to working for tho best, interests of his constituents Senator McLaurin will never bo found waining, notwith standing a great deal of thoughtless and whimsical criticism of bis course, re cently indulged in by sumo newspapers and a few politicians as well, among tho latter being some who would aspire to tho wearing of his Senatorial toga. Hut watch our prediction: Senator McLaurin will bo returned to the Se?ale next year ns bis own successor, and that, too, inside tho D?mocratie party lines, even though some would have it. otherwise, cbielly because they hope to receive political advantages by bis decapitation in the home of his friends, for whose welfare be has been wise enough, ami, what is more rare to lind, brave enough to stand against tremendous odds, thereby incurring the loss of great per sonal popularity for the time being until the light can bc turned on, and he can have an opportunity of getting before tho tribunal of Ibo people and giving thc reasons for the faith that is in bim. And "curly-headed Johnnie" will do it, too, to their satisfaction and approval when the right lime comes. Fortunately for bim, and, wo /ear, unfortunately for our farmers, another crop of colton will have to lie raise', ami sold before our next campaign rolls around, ami every voter in South Carolina who has a pound of cotton to sell may realize from a sad experience what tile loss of foreign mar kets means to the Southern farmer, ll is not, cannot be, a question which affects the cotton manufacturer alone, for unless ho can export and sell bis goods, there will soon be a period of congestion and stagnation in the cotton goods market, and down goes tho price ol cotton. Such a singe wo aro now beginning to experience The cotton mills are manufacturing at. a loss, and many in both thc North and (lie South are curtailing their production; not as a matter of choice, but of necessity, lt does not require any great amount of "book learning" for a man of common sense to see thal the mills cannot long stand such a Slate of affairs, and one of two alternatives must soon follow: either the price of colton must go down or the mills must cease lo spin. Thus will lie seen the direct, vital interest of overy man who plants a seed bf cotton io the doctrine of trade expansion as ad vocated by Senator McLaurin. Ile is consistent in his reasoning, ami lhere is nothing in it to buist the hoops which unite the few remaining staves (d' the D?mocratie party. There may be eon Bidcrahlo cringing, breaking and crack ing ol dry bones when the grandmas ami grandpas come to swing corners, bul the dance will go merrily ?m, the well-mean ing old folks will be given a comfortable seat where ihey can lest as they "take in" the performance and sec bow dcflh Johnnie takes tho "queue" and waltzes ot? willi Oriental glee, instead of gelling tho "boxing'" which OIH'li upon a lune was stored up foi him bj =? few on tin's side thc Hood.

Atlanta, (Ja., April IO.-Kdltor?\0K?o woo Courlor: Georgia is a good State and Atlanta, her cap'.tol, ia au oxoceding great city of almost 100,000 people. The olty is on the qui vivo all the timo, aod, her wido-awako oltizous scorn to ho put ting tho boat foot foremost. Evory day tho principal thoroughfares aro thronged with pooplo, and this makcs^ Atlnuta appoar to bo a busy, bustling olty in doed. In a fow weeks tho Kmpiro Building, whioh is bel?g erected on tho corner of Marietta and North Broad shoots, will bo completed. This building would bo a credit to a much largor olty than At lanta. It is fourteen storioB high and extends from Mariotta stroot baok to Walton, and might bo stylod a "sky scraper." lt is built of steel and brick at a cost of nearly ^500,000. Atlanta bas already ono olovou-story building, ono teu-story and sovornl niuo stories high. Tho Carnegie Library, which is being built on tho corner of Church and North ?Forsyth stroets, will bo roady to opon to tho public about May 1st. It is a vory protty building, being built of marble and white compressed brick. A com plete list of books has already boen donated to the library. Tho largo gifts whioh tho geuerous-beartod Carncgio is presenting for tho establishment of free libraries and other charitable institu tions show that ho doos not caro to dio a rich mau. lt is said that two viaducts will bo constructed across the railroads in the near futuro. Tho Whitehall stroot via duct will serve a long felt want, as trains on niuo different roads uso thc tracks that cross this stroot, and many narrow escapes occur there almost daily. Tho viaduct will extend from Marietta street on thu north to Alabama strout on the south, and many business bouses on two (docks will have to bo torn down. The water supply of Atlanta was found to bu inadequate, soon tito tiltil of March au election was bold tn incienso tho water hoods $200,000, and tho majority of tho voters voted in favor of it. Tho water used by tho city comes from tho (.'batta hoocho river, some ten miles away. They succeed in clarifying it, butas to purify ing it there ia some doubt. Recently tho Klootrio Light Company put in new street lamps burning ono hundred hours. This saves a great deni of labor. Tho lamps formerly used burned only ono night ami had to be refitted with new carbons every day. Eastertide was a joyous season for A llantinas. Last Saturday tho annual egg hunt came off at Grant's Park, and probably 15,000 people took it in. Wo are informed that fit),DOO oggs wero bid den in the park that morning. Tho "hunt" was given by tho citizens and all the children were permitted to go nnd take part in it. We never before saw so many happy children in ono place. Wbun tho hunt, began there was A groat scram ble and tumble for about fifteen minutes, when ovcry egg was found. Tho Geor gia Slate Hand furnished good music for the occasion. Grant's Park consists of UOO acres of land, donated to t he city by a man named <?iant. lt is a lovely place III .spring and summer, and Atlanta could not well get along without it. It is a groat place for sight-seeing and real enjoyment. On Easter Sunday tho chu relics wore appropriately decorated, and Easter hats, bonnets and dresses were much in evi dence. Ati nita has 112 churches. Asido from the good sermons delivered by the min isters, many of the churches havo excel lent music and friendly societies. Dr. A. lt. Iloldorby, pastor of tho Moore Memorial Presbyterian church, is the leader in the establishment of a Presbyterian hospital in the city. Tho sixteen di niches of that denomination have united in the work. Tho plan is to open and equip a free hospital for the treatment of those who arc notable to pay for proper medical attention. Be sides Ibo charity features of the hospital there will bc fitted upa number of rooms for private use, where patients who are able to pay may be accommodated, No distinctions will bo made in tho benefac tions of the hospital and no denomina tional lines will bo drawn. The (Lady monument, which stands in Marietta street, is a Utting tribute erected by tho citizens nf Atlanta to Georgia's great editor and orator. There are some beautiful Sentences on tho monument: "When lie died ho was lit erally loving a nation into peace." We have been around to ISO Cotirtlnild avenue to visil Mrs. William King, known lo Ibo Constitution readers, as "Aunt Susie."

J ii cl y o Reagan Says Lincoln Refused to Com promiso with tho South. Tho Chicago Record-Herald says: John II.

Stephens, Senator R. W. Huntor and Assistant Secretary of War John A. Campboll for tho Confede racy. Judge Reagan gives extracts from va rious public documents anti hooks to provo that Mr. Lincoln had no idea of giving compensation for slaves who were to bo freed or of treating with the Con federate States as such. "On tho night of tho return of Mr. Stephens from that conference," Judge Reagan says, "he told James L. Orr, a Senator from South Carolina, that tho Hampton Roads conference was fruitless and hopeless because Mr. Lincoln offered tho Confederacy nothing but uncondi tional Submission." The samo thing was told to T. R Sax ton, a Confederate Congressman from Texas, who wrote of tho interview to J migo Reagan. Shortly after tho war Judge Reagan became involved ill a controversy because ho denied that President Lincoln had offered $400,000,000 if tho Confederates would abandon tho war anti come into tho Union. A letter was written to Mr. Stephens hy Stephen W. Iilount, of St. Augustine, asking him whether such an offer had been made. Mr. Stephens wrote him that the statement was untrue.
