We make the following extracts from tlio splendid speech of Senator Vance of North Carolina in answer to the tirades of Blaine and other bloody shirt wavers upon Southern school bo'iks and other literature: Mr. Vance (Democrat.), of North Carolina, said he was requested to statp the fact, which was also within his owu knowledge, that the partisan school literature spoken of by Mr. HI nine is non-existent. During the war a lew such books were circulated, but since then no Southern child had ever seen one. It seemed to him that alter being forced hack into tll3 Union it was bard for Southern States to he twitted with sending Representatives to Congress to legis late according to their views. A little Wliife ago they had been invited and urged to come back, and visitors were sent down South on that errand. M't. Logan (Rep), of 111. ?1 went down once and did not find you. Mb Vauce?I came as soon .as L. could. I came here once and you would not open the d >or for me. [Langliicr.l Now. continued Mr. Vauce, we are told it is unbecoming to play the MacGrcgor and take the head of the table wherever we sit. The brave old Scotchmau wou'd never have invited guests to his board and then scolded them for accepting his hospitality. So far as he was con cerned, he would assert his lights as long as he was here in spite ofsuch remarks. Mr. Vance pointed out that all the territory absorbed in the country's rapid growth had been ac quired under Democratic rule, except Alaska, a barren country, with a c'i mate which ho had heard described as "nine months winter and three months damnation poor weather." *'gh-?*"-3 ? Und?u* Democratic role there was no Credit Mobilier, no Re turning Board frauds, no Electoral Commission, no Bel knap. The other side wail at the approaching cud of all things, but the only thing coming to an end is the corrupt Republican party. The Southern men act with the Democrats uf the North to restore good government. Whenever Re publican Senators abandoned vitu peration and ventured to touch on the merits of the question they were very illogical. One Senator asked it wo fear thirty soldiers in North Caro | linn. We do, just as the Hollander fears the first crevice in the dike that may lead to an inundation; just as the physician dreads the first speck of gangrene in his patient's wound, which prcssages danger. + * * * * ' What the people most need is rest, concluded Mr. Vauce. The residon ts of bis section desired it above their chief joy. The policy of conciliation pursued by the Democracy of the N< rth would alone secure this rest. Lit us imitate Mature, which hut covered the battle Jie.UU of the. tebcllion with her rohes of' green. Let us throw a mantle over the memory of the past. ?-? ? ? ? ? Bill Arp's Address of Welcome to the Georgia Press Association. The twelfth annual meeting of the Georgia Press Association convened in Carters vi lie on the 1-lth of May, with a full representation. The I welcoming words were spoken by Major C. 11. Smith (Bill Arp) of the Atlanta "Constitution" stall* as follows : ?'Cartersville,'1 he said, "receives you gladly. She feels magnified by your presence. Always hospitable, to the humble as well as the great, she nevertheless indulges a peculiar pride on this occasion, for while" her pompous neighbors have bcon spread ing wide their philaclorios over con ventions uf teachers and preachers and leechors and railroad intriguers, she ranks them all in the quality of her guests. [Applause.J The editorial brain ia the lever of Archimedes and the press is the lulcrum. More than a million souls are domteilcd in our State, and the power that moves them, trains them rind directs them is now before us. The press is par excel - lence the public (locator, it gives more incentive to sttdy,more direc tion to thought und more food for mental digestion than all other pow ers combined. It establishes the convictions of masses upon all sub jects which they are capable of com prehending. What a wonderful power! .And yet how silently it works its mighty engine; how seem ingly unconscious of its strength; how unassuming. As we look into your frank and open faces we are almost ready to exclaim, 'How child-like and bland ?' [Laughter.] * * * * Hut Canersville has another rea son for feeling specially honored on this occasion, for, according to high authority, this is not a city of brother ly love, nor the abode of angles, nor the gate of paradise; but is on the con fines of the infernal regions?nigh unto Plutonian shore?and the very air we breathe is odorous of tiro and brimstone. [Laughter.] All these perils you have brave 1 to visit us. Into the jaws of death 1 nto the mouth of hell Kode the one hundred ! [Laughter and applause.] When his Excel'cncy Joe Brown fust became our Governor, he became godfather to our little town, but she soon grew saucy and 'independent, and the old gentleman turned "tier adrift upr ? the cold charities of a way station schedule. [Laughter.] Then Cartorsvilie retaliated iu a man ner that was unfilial and uubecomiug, and the old gentleman quietly told her to go to?Pluto's home. [Laugh ter] It seems now that he had thought she had done so, as he puts olfall travelers hero who uro seeking that tropical region. [ L in citer.] Out she didn't go there, gentlemen, aud .-till lives t? welcome? her fricuds and defy her foes. 1 f she is a little too independent at times, we'll' noth ing extenuate nor set down aught in malice." "And now, gentlemen, Christian gentlemen, good Samaritans, peace makers, after the sad recital of our alienation, wc invoke your good offices to make reconciliation between the father and his child. I will not detain you further with this uupleas autness, but once more bid vou wel come, aud when you return to cooler latitudes may you be able to sav, "Wo found viio indication of a high temperature at Cartorsvilie, saving the warmncss of their heart to a wel come guest." i ??mm* ? - ? urn ? - - Our Boys. How to bring up our boys in the way that they .should go and in a manner that will make them useful members of society is a problem that is proving exceedingly vexatious in its sob lion. Into the question of its I solution conies for consideration other questions of which there are many sides in popular sentiment. Primarily the proposition, that as a people we arc too much educated, comes up. There is no question but the cities arc, and for tho past twenty ; years have been, making too heavy draughts upon the youth of the coun try. The ambition of the farmer's m>ii i> to bieak away from the farm and the country ami seek in the city a position where, in nine case out of ten, be becomes a nonentity, and is compelled to struggle without cessa tion, and often in vain for that in - dependence and comfort that he nhundqucd when ho left his father's fireside.- 1 he city becomes overcrowd cd and the surplus population b conic the ilnoncs of society. The trades, business and professions arc over crowded, nn I the old methods of hon orable toil and frugal husbandry of j means arc abandoned by the modern [and prevalent methods of obtaining cheap and immediate notoriety a.id I sudden wealth by tho most question I able means. The boys of tho country I become adventurers almost boforo they arc out of their pinafores. To be sure, they hohl their own with the men remarkably well, and often earn more money than their fathers are nble to, yet the growth of our boys is a forced and unhealthy one. Dwarf* ? <1 in intellect, their bodies make quick response to their mental strain, and maturity finds them prematurely ?1.1 ?i _c *?__ .1_,i_l.-1_ uiu Quu uuui tut io- uoiuantiii ii:*uti upon their physiques. Our boys sdtould either be educated or placed upon farms, where the development of their minds may keep pace with and not oven un the development of their bodies; and thus a healthy equilibrium may be established.? fiyrac?w Courier. The South at tfork. Among other scorching remarks made by Senator Morgan of Ala bama, in reply to Mr. Coukling's speech on the army bill and the South, be : aid : "Mr. Conkliug bad told the South to go to work. The South was at work; delicate women, not black but white, toikd in the cotton Heids all day. There were no tramp?, thank God, in the South. No man might lack food and shelter." Whero upo n tile New York "Star says : "Yes, it is a fact, that while very many white people at the North are hitich cd for food, and tramps and beggars are seen everywhere, and while Re publican demagogues arc crying out about negroes suffering in the South, there is no man, woman or child, black or white, but that can get food and shelter in that section of the country. And, indeed, nowhere ara common laborers bettor ptid or more sure of work if disposed to labor. But to calumniate the South and tho Southern people is the old policy of such Republican leaders as Conkliug, I'd innnds nud other stal tvarts, and, no doubt, it will continue to be so. It is the South, the South all the time, before the war, after tho war, when .slavery existed and since it has been abolished?nothing but tho South. The Republicans have no otherplat-' form a>d nothing else to go upon." Served Him Right. A young lady was addressed by a man, who, though agreeable to her, was didiked by her father, who would not consent to their union, and she determined to elope. The night was fixed, the hour came, he placed tho ladder to the window, and in a lew minutes site , was in his arms. They mounted a double horse, and were soon some distance from the house. After some time the lady broke tho silence by saying, "Well, you sei what proof I have given you of my aUections; I hope you will mako a good husband." He was a suricy fellow, and gruflly answered : "Per haps I may, and perhaps not." She made no reply, but after a silence of some minutes, she suddenly exclaim ed : "Oh ! what shall 1 do? I have left my money behind me in my room !" *' Then," said he, "wo must go back and fetch it." Tboy wore soon again ui the house, tho ladder again placed, the lady again remount ed, while the ill natu red lover remain* ed below. But she delayed to come, and so he gently called; "Are you coming?" When she looked out the window and said : "Perhaps I may, and perhaps not;" and then shut down the window and left him lo return on the doublo bone alone. Sensible gill. Thurman vs. Sherman. It is tho opinion of intimate friends of Senator Thurman that he will he I compolled to run for Governor of Ohio, and that with Secretary Sher man as an opponent he will bo boue fitted to a very great extent because party lines will then bo so closely drawn that Tilden will not bo able to I disintegrate tho Democratic vote. Greater interest is now felt bore in the coming Ohio election than in any of the approaching political struggles, and shrowd observers of evonts do not hesitate to dcclaro that if Thur man and Sherman run against each other, the victor will stand in a posi^ tion to control the nomination oi his* 1 party for the Presidency.
