The Rebel Demonstration In Atlanta
ben. Hilrs speech.

The Atlanta (Ga.) Ntw Era, a Repub-
lican paper, speaks as follows Of the
meeting in that city on Thursday, at
which Robert Toombs, Howell Cobb,
B. H. Hill and others spoke:
"The speeches made on this occasion
we're no more nor less than hostile
declarations against the Government.
None more violent were made when tho
same speakers were shouting the people
to arms throughout the State. The
same intemperance and intolerance
were manifested, the Same hot-headed,
injudicious advice given. We could sec
nothing in them but a widening Of the
social breach, increased ostracism for
opinions sake, disruption of society
and general disorder, If not revolution.
"Mr. Hills speech vas an anomaly.
For bitter vitupera.ive spirit, revenge
full sentiment, pulling bravado, there is
nothing like it on record. He was re-
markably open in his denunciation Of
the Reconstruction laws of Congress,
declaring that they were only author
lied by the bayonet and %scoundrels, aud
designating as rogues, r~enegades and
villains all who saw ft TO acquiesce 10
their requirements. Boldly he declared
that, in the event Of the success Of the
Seymour aud Blair ticket, ar eutiro
notification of all these laws would fol-
low, and the Constitutions framed under
them would be nullified and set aside,
and one immense bonfire made Of the
r~ecoris, and those who had received
money under the provisions Of these
laws would DO called on to refund 1t.
He served q notice that it would have
to be repaid back. The whole address
was a piece of glazing efrrontery, in
tended to influence the masses with
party prejudices and intolerance toward
those who see fit to entertain opposite
political opinions. 1t was a woful
speech for the Democratic party and the
Democratic cause. IF this be what
our party is working for said n
staunch old line Democrat, Z | can have
nothing to do with it. II is dangerous
And he left the ground"

rpr sum Eo11psEp TO-DAY.

To-day, August l4th, there will be
visible we large portions Of India, the
Oriental Islands and the Malay PENN
suls q most imposing solar eclipse.
From early ages eclipses have been
noticed in India; expensive instruments
have been made, eyes and hands careful
ly trained to use them, and, while Gov
ernmeuts have given freely of their
money, learned men and societies have
given time and brains, farsight and fore
sight to make the events fruitful to sci
ence. Arago tells of a poor shepherd
child that cried at the total phase Of the
eclipse Of 1912, and in the eclipse of the
present year the sun will be hidden for
more than six minutes In many places
most of these, however, far removed
from the great centers of European civ
ilization.
II 10 but little over a hundred years
ago that Captain Cook, the great nari-
gator, then in charge of the survey Of
Newfoundland and Labrador, published
an account Of an eclipse of the sun wit
messed by him on one of the islands
lear Cape Ray, which did as much. or
more, than anything else to establish his
fame as q close and scientific observer Of
nature and her laws. The 18th Of next
February will complete the century
since his untimely destruction by the
barbarous natives Of the Sandwich
Islands, whom he had induced to sup
ply his ships with provisions by pre-
dieting an eclipse, which as be had call
culased, was about to happen. Seven
hundred years before that, from the ac-
counts of William Of Malmesbury, we
find that persons, while sitting at their
meals, were so frightened by the sudden
darkness that they ran out from their
houses, fearing that the ancient chaos
was about to return. The white phos-
phorescent light that entirely surrounds
the black disc Of the noon at such sea-
sons. HALEY compares to the halo with
which painters surround the heads Of
the Saints.
Whether any Americans have gone to
take part in the observations to be made
in India to-day, We do not know. But,
doubtless, valuable discoveries will be
made, and in the work not only of OBJ
serving but investigating and rejecting,
there are men Of science In this country
who will be prepared to do their part,
and give the world some Of the progress
i've results which the science of u day
is capable of unfolding in reference to
the motions Of the heavenly bodies.

In August, 1864, the Democratic Ma.
tional Convention assembled in Chicago,
Horatio Seymour being then, as now,
President. The first plank in the plat
form adopted was as follows:
"Re,olued, That this Convention does
explicitly declare, as the Of the
American people, after four years oil
failure to restore the Union by the ex-
pertinent Of war, during which, under
tho p~retense Of military necessity Of a
war power higher than the Constitu
ton, the Constitution has been disre.
garded In every part, and public liberty
and private rights are alike trodden
down, and the material prosperity of the
country essentially impaired. Justice,
humanity, liberty and the public wei.
fare demand that immediate efforts be
made for the cessation Of hostilities,
with q view to an ultimate convention
of the States, or other peaceable means,
to the end that ut the earliest practica-
BILE moment, peace may be restored on
the basis of the Federal States"
One of the speakers then said
"For v Q three years Lincoln has
been calling for men, and they have
been given, but with all the vast armies
placed at his command, be has failed
failed! FAILED |! FAILED Such
a failure has never been known"
Another speaker said:
"There Is no difference between n
war Democrat and an Abolitionist.
They are links Of one sausage, made
out Of the same dog"
These resolutions were passed, and
these speeches were made in the face OF
the brilliant victories then being won.

SINGULAR FRIENDSHIP OF A CHILD AND
RAr.-A few days ago, says the Louis
Vile Journal, the attention Of the mat
ron Of the Protestant Orphan Asylum,
situated on Fifth street, was directed to
her little boy, a child four or Ave years
of age, who was seated in the yard gaily
and busily feeding a large rat that had
climbed upon his shoulder, while both
parties appeared to be on the most
friendly and familiar terms possible.
Upon inquiry, she learned that this sim
gular acquaintance had commenced
nearly six weeks ago, and that frequent
meetings had since occurred between
them. About midnight on Saturday
last the lady q awakened by the
child, and Informed by It that "tbere
was q rat in the bed" As may readily
be believed, she sprang hastily out, and
lighting the gas, found the rat snugly
%ensconced in the arms Of her darling |
OF course the animal was quickly put
to q ght, and since that time no new
developments in this strange attachment
have occurred. That this little boy
should be singled out from a group of
forty or fifty children as the object Of
this animals affection seems strange.

WARRINGTON, August IL -Itis UNDER
stood that Colonel Deaue, Of Governor
Warmouth's staff, was assured by the
President that instructions would be
issued to General Buchanan to cover
the ground presented by the Governor.
Considerable interest has been felt to
know whether the President would rec.
ognize the present governments Of the
Southern States as legal, which be has
now done. Heretofore there has been
reason to doubt whether he would rec.
ognize them as legitimate constitutional
governments.
An opinion Of the Attorney General
has been given on the subject OF the
legal effect of appointments made at
this time by the President, which, 1t is
considered, will cover the whole ground
of all the questions which have arisen
concerning Commissioners Of Internal
Revenue, Alaska Collectorship, and the
Offices for which appointments are
thought to be pending, and which will
probably, when completed, be handed
to the Secretary Of the Treasury, mas
much as they will more properly refer

ton Of the Treasury Department than
elsewhere.
