"a PROVISIONAL GOVERNMENT"

In view OF the fact that Georgia is
about this time probably(6 o'clock Tues
day EVENING" being declared BY the uni ;,
ted States Senate "a Provisional GOV
crnment," friend at our elbow is in
curing what is provisional governments
and what it can and cannot do. sa
A provisional government" is nothing
at all under the Constitution of tho Uni
ted States. That makes no provision for
any other government than governments
of the Statss-The Federal Government.
1t is true there are territorial govern
ments, but there is nothing in the Con-
stitution about territorial governments.
Our wise forefathcrs seem to have over.
looked all provision for inchoate States,
and when, in the course of events, new
communities were organized outside OF
State limits, too feeble to tlke upon
themselves the responsibilities OF State
government, a territorial organization
was created by statute under force of
the mere necessities of the case. 1t was
temporary statutory provision to pro-.
vide for these new and embryo States
until they should be able to take care OF
themselves, and assume the position OF
coeoual sovereigns in government OF
States. They were nothing at all UNI
der the Federal Constitution, and pro-
visional government of States is still
less for it is in defiance Of the Constitu-
ton. All legal authority originates
from the States and the people thereof.
A provisional government of States is a
creature of monstrous birth, and has no
legitimate power. What it can do is
nothing larfully, and everything actual
ly, under existing uSurpation.-1iaco"

A SINGLE THREAD.-Thc farmers OF
Coweta county hire labor to make cotton
they hire the Northwest to raise their
corn and oats, and hay and meat, and lard
and flour-they hire the Southwest to
raise their sugar and molasscs and syrup
they hire the Northeast and East to
raise their salt and iron and coffee--they
hire the North to make their shifting and
sheeting and caIicoes, shoes, boots, hats,
bonnets, every article of food, drink iva
ter excepted and wear for man and beast;
chains, names, brides, axes, axe handles,
hoes, tobacco, shovels, leather, patent
lamps, coffee roasters, little quilting ma
chimes, everything that Yankeeingenuity
can devise, is bought and sold to eager
purchasers, the producers Of cotton; they
hire railroads at exhorbitant prices TO
haul all these things to their door; they
then buy Guano on credit to raise cotton
to pay for all their hiring and hauling.
Gracious Heavens what deludedpco-
pie If a disastrous failure in the price,
quality or quantity of the cotton crops
should happen, as easily can; ifthc sim
Gle cotton thread should break, bankrupt
cy, ruin, starvation, would be the incvita-
! bic result-having stakcd their all on a
single thread, it made of cotton, IT breaks

TIE LARGEST CrY.-It is commonly
believed that London is tho largest city
in the world, but the belief is erroneous.
Jcddo, the capital of Japan, is without
exception the largest and most populous
city in the world. 1t contains the vast
number of !, O00O00dwellings and5, 000.-
900 human souls. Many of the strcete-
are nineteen Japaneserics in lcngta--
twenty-five English miles. Tho COM
merce of Jcddo far exceeds that of any
other city in the world, and the sea along
the coast is constantly white With sails
from the Southern portion of the empire,
where they are laden with rice, tea, sea
coal, tobacco, silk, cotton and tropical
fruits, all of which can find ready mar
ket in the North, and then returned
freighted with corn, salt, isinglass and
various other productions which have a

A BLACK DEMosTHENES,
WHAT HENRY BOYD TOLD THE NEGROES
OF MISSISSIPPI.
BRIDGEPORT, KY, April 2.

Editor Of tie Comier-JOmnal:
Though it has been nearly two years
since | heard the following speech, | re-
member it well. 1t was delivered in
genuine negro style and pronunciation,
but was the most effective speech made
during the canvass. Though the ne
groes were two to one, and most OF them
sworn into the Loyal League before the
Democrats began the canvass, my coun-
ty Carroll, Miss.) went Democratic by
1902 majority. Many of your sub
scribers in Carroll land Mississippi gen
orally, for he canvassed the State) will
remember the speech and endorses it
genuineness. Boyd was two hours de-
livering his speech. give you the sub
stance of the most interesting part of it.
The publication of this may do some lit
tie towards ncutralizing the baletul eff
fects of the incendiary speeches made
at the court house in your city the other
day. Henry Boyd was an uneducated
negro, but possessed strong native IN

AMOUNT OF GUANo SoLD.-Wc saw
yesterday every one that VIC thought
dealt in guano, and asked an approxi-
nation of actual sales, thus far. The
total amounts to $3.50 tons. The great
er proportion has been sold at $50 and
beyond that amount per ton. Taking
the lowest figure we find that the coun-
try whose radius does not exceed 90
miles has already expended for fertili->
zers s282, 400. At zoe, per pound, IL
will take 1924 bales of cotton 600 lbs.

Laying the Corner Stone of the Sem
mary Building.

The following article relative to the laying
Of tue Corner Stone Of the new NJ. f. Con-
ference Seminary, in this Village last W ed
nesday, we copy from the CHRISTIAN MIS-
sENGER, for which paper it was written, by
Rev. IL. A Spencer of Newport.
The outside Of the new Seminary building
will be finished this TALL. The walls are now
halt completed, and it seemed too late to lay
the corner stone but it was thought best to
have these ceremonies IN connection with the
closing exercises Of the term, aud we think
wisely. There were many more present from
different parts of the State than would 9TH
erwi5e have been. Many found il necessary
to be here at the close OF the term and
many more were attracted by combining the
having of the corner stone with the these ex-
erclses, who would not probably have come
to either had they been held separately.
As it was, several Of the members of the
I Conference and large number of laymeu
and women of the State were present, who,
with the people of this place, made large
/ and respectable audience
The exercises commenced at As ", on
/ "Wednesday. Rev. II. p Gushing had charge.
The exercises consisted of singing the 2l2rh
/ hytnn. which was read by Rev. II. a. Spen-
Ger. and prayer by Rev ". ID. Malcolm

aud appropriately. He showed the a1van

sonal knowledge of the condition of man
without any education, of his condition
without the culture of the schools, and of his
condition with the discipline of schools with
out Christianity and then showed the supe-
riOr advantages Of education combined with
religion. lie said in order to secure the
right kind OF men and women to fill all the
stations of life, we must educate them under
Christian influences hence the propriety
and necessity of such institutions as We are
founding to- day.
Hon. @. W. Willard, just from Washing
ton, as one of the Trustees, then spoke
briefly. lie said he had not come from
among heather in the same sense that the
last speaker had bat he could testify that
missionary work was surely needed on the
Potomac, If not as much as on the Ganges.
1t is gratifying to know that while we have
missionaries to send to the valley of the
Ganges, we have also Christian statesmen
like Mr.. Willard TO send to the valley of the
Potomac
A box containing variety of articles was
then deposited by Prof. Chester, in the name
OF the Father and of the Son and of the
Holy Ghost, in a cavity in the granite pre-
pared for the purpose which was Immediately
closed by the master mason.
The doxOlogy was then sung, and benedic-
ton pronounced by Rev. A. L. Billiard.
The Methodists OF Vermont have reason TO
congratulate themselves in view of the pros
poets of their school. One Of the finest
buildings in the State is fast progressing to-
wards completion. 1t will be ready for use
next year.
Let the Church be treasured with regard
to our educational interests in the State.
This school properly endowed and patronized,
with the blessing Of God, will give Metho-
dism that prominent position it might hold.

A specially dispatch to the World, dated
Washington, July 25th, says:
Admiral Porter is to be gratified, so far as
the limited appropriations of Congress for
the present fiscal year will permit. The
navy is to be placed on a war footing. Or
dcrs have gone forward from the Navy De-
partment to the commandants of the Ports
mouth, Boston, Brooklyn and Philadelphia
Navy-yards, to hasten with all possible speed
the repair and completion Of every vessel
that can be placed in commission. If these
orders are fulfilled the department will be
able TO put half dozen efficient vessels IN
European waters before the middle Of Sep
TENDER. This sudden activity in the navy
yards Of course has no other foundation than
the very remote fear that the European stu
alton may present some complications of in
terest to the United States Messrs. Porter
and Robson think that the navy ought TO
have IA 900 seamen, but the present compile
ment cannot be increased without further
legislation. At the Portsmouth Nayv-yard
additional workmen have been pat on, and
the second-c!ass screw. steamer California, Of
twenty-One guns, and the fourth-class screw
steamer Narragansett, Of five guns, are fitting
out and repairing and will soon be ready for
sea The Illinois, Of the same rate the
California. on the stocks.
At the CharlestOwn yard the cOpmandant
has received orders "a titc i1fsg grow steamer
" forester, fifteen guns. 1t is also thought
that other vessels lying at this yard will be
got ready for sea. The Connecticut, seven
teen guns, and Pennsylvania, twenty-one
guns, with secOnd-rate screw, are on the
stocks. The Iowa, same rate and class,
is laid up and the Niagara, twelve guns,
Shenandoah, ten guns, Ticonderoga, ten
guns, are repairing at this yard. At Brook
Ign orders were sent some days since TO put
every available vessel in condition for service
with all possible haste. Two ships are now
ready for sea, and only await their stores and
crews to lie sent to any quarter Of the world.
The gunbOat Nipsic, tour guns, and the
sailing sloop Guard, six guns, are under or
ders to proceed at once to the Fishing Banks
TO join the Frolic, on that station, in guard
ing the interests of the American fisheries on
the banks At the Philadelphia yard the
Brooklyn is fitting out she will be ready for
sea by the 18th Of August, and officers have
been ordered to report for duty on that date.
At the Washington yard the Kansas is being
repaired. and is the only vessel of Importance
here.
