POPULAR GOVERNMENT.

The Augusta CoaStitati0naliSt COM
menting upon the popular movements
in Europe concludes with the follow
ing remark:
1--WE do not entertain the idea OF
u uni, ersal republic under one gov
aernment, but a confederacy Of re-
publics acting in harmony with each
ether, seems to US to be the natural
consequence Of past and present
events"
For a long time we entertained
the idea that social and political
evolution necessarily tends to the
general establishment of popular
government, and even now we some
times entertain the hope that this is
the tendency. But we sometimes
indulge the fear which Allison sug-
gests that it is neither a natural
or rational expectation for good gov
ernment to be administered for any
great length of time through the
ignorance, passions and depravity of
the people. At least such seems to
be the fact in our case.

COMMUNISM

The meaning of this word in
France, where it represents the SEN
timents of the so-called Paris insur-
gents, embraces-equal division of
all property, real and personal-ths
overthrow of the established Priest
hood and confscation of Church
property, and the enforced reduction
Of all citizens to a dead level of So
cial equality. This is the old
Jacobin fre--the old popular delus-
ion which inaugurated the reign of
terror; but let us not forget that II
great social evil never arises with
out a cause and that war is not and
never will prove proper remedy
for its suppression. Remove the
cause and the evil will disappear
Danish bigotry and religious intoler-
ance f; Danish the expressions of gov
eminent and of unjust class distinc-
tons provide for the general wea
and Danish restitution and poverty,
and communism will die a natura
death. Until these things are done
it may prove healthy agitation.
Wendell Phillips and others are
anticipating similar displays of Com
munism in England and the United
States. Very likely, though the
causes are not quite SO irritating
We may get to it after while.

IMPERIALISM.

Carl Schurz representative man
of the foreign element in the West
ern States says Of the progress to
Imperialism /;
1T is done. The first half-bashful and half
audacious attempt has been made TO shake the
sdifce Of American popular government 10 its
very foundations This ditch il commenced
which win certainly become the grave of tbs
liberty of this country and of the best Constitu'
ton that ever was, if this attempt should not be
checked by the insight or the superior sagaci'
ty of the people. Had we not read 1t every
day for weeks in black and white, one might
take il 10 be bad dream. Senators and Rep
resentalives appointed ar guardians Of our
liberties, have deliberated many days and
nights how they might invest the President,
the chief guardian OF the rights of the people
with imperial power. Now they have reached
their aim Indeed. there are on " few steps
from the law by which the XIVth Amendment
is to be enforced TO the Inauguration of an I'M
disguised dictatorship, and from that to umniti-
gated Casarism there are even less.
And vet the people OF the United States OBJ
serve the threatened ruin Of their rights with
an Indifference as if they had lost the under
standing of their liberties and consciousness Of
their sovereignty and as it we had returned to
the times when Prrl orians made and nnmade
their rulers
Well, what of itY The patriots
of the American re 5olution establish
ed liberty and framed a Constitu
. ton of Government, securing it, to
all the oppressed people of Europe
who chose to make this their home.
They came in throngs until they
held the balance of power, when the
peace, safety and liberties of a large
section of the Union, rs secured by
the Constitution, became endanger-
ed and the people thereof were driv-
en- TO seek new guarantees of pro-
lection. When this was done the
foreign element lent its aid to pre-
Seree liberty by the force of the bay
onet, the result of which was, as
might have been foreseen, the sub
stitution of a government of force
for one having its foundation in the
popular will. Very well, we have
taken the dose and accepted, long
ago, the inevitable, and the foreign
element may now squirm as much as
it will in its foretaste of American
despotism.

THE SOUTH AND THE PRESI-
DENCY.

Our correspondent seems oblivious
of the fact which we indicated that
there are two factions dividing the
Democratic party-one willing to risk
all upon principle, the other insisting
upon the acquisition of power leaving
principle in allegiance. We said if
the latter is to be the policy we hoped
there would be no failure, and that
the South would make sure of all the
advantages of success in supporting
one who had shown himself when the
war ended and since, liberal and mag
unanimous in his sentiments. 1t is
true Gen. SHERMAN acted upon
the principle that war as war; he has
also shown that he believes peace
should be peace.

THE FORTRESS MONROE CONFER

Mr.. Stephens does not recOllect
that President Linco&.wrote ''recOn-
struction' on slip of1taper and told
the Davis Commissioners to fill up
the Treaty. He .recOllects that
something was said about the Union
and if he would charge his memory
he could easily recollect that he
could not move pse1in the nego-

err on plan even squirting at recon

Guilty. That out of the way, Mr..
Stephens knows the war could ihave
ended and the South restored, real

THE MARIETTA AND NORTH
GEORGIA RAILROAD.

With great qualification we con-
template the present auspices of this
important enterprise. With the
well-known energy of the gentlemen
who haye become prominently in
terested in the work, there can re-
main but little doubt that the great
section of country to be traversed by
the Road, will soon be opened up to
Rsilroad inter-communication with
the commercial world and a degree
of prosperity hitherto unknown to
us will dawn upon us in all our re-
sources.
We trust that our people, as far
as practicable, will make it their
Road; that they will subscribe to
the extent Of their ability, and es-
pecially now, when they know that
men Of discretion, skill and adequate
energy have taken charge of the
work resolved that it shall not only
be built, but built speedily.
There was considerable wire
working to divert the eastern ter
minus, as provided for by the Char
tel from Marietta, and judging from
comments of the Atlanta Sun, and
the intense disappointment said tc
prevail in some quarters in that city,
some Of the wire-w0rkers missed
their aim. But, really, if the inter
ests of Atlanta are properly consid-
cred, they have nothing to suffer
but much to gain from the construc'
ton of the Marietta & n. G.. Rail.
Dad. The bad faith ascribcd to the
present Board of Directors we dc
not credit.
Since writing the foregoing, we
find the statement of Mr.. KIMBALL
in the Atlanta San, the substance Of
which is that the organization "was
a full and fair and business transact
ton, and that the road has not been
put into hands unfriendly to its COM
pletion that the road will be built,
il the PEOPLE along the line want it,
and will aid in its construction if
not, it will not be. He claims that
he means business, and disclaims all
idea Of rings and combinations,
thinks the road will pay, and pro-
poses to aid in building it with his
time, energy and means. The ex-
citement about it he thinks mcalled
for, and that if the road is TO fail OF
success, it shall not fail in his hands,
as he is ready to give it up to others
if the people are not willing to aid
in the work, as he does not want
the responsibility of failure on his
hands,

THE QUESTION ANSWERED.

Ed. JOURNAL: our cOffespOu-
dent "Dion" asks, 'How can the
barrier be removed that prevents
our perfect success in manufacturing
at and around Marietta 7" Before |
offer an answer let me premise that
| speak for Marietta's interest, for
MariettaTs success, for Marietta's
promotion, which Of course means an
Increase in wealth and good for its
inhabitants. | take it for granted
that all thoughtful citizens have
reached the same conclusion as to
what must be thci ground work OF
our prosperity or material advance
in business, viz: Schools and Man
ufactures. IMasa been known for
years, this q Jas been regarded
as the most elsgi6le for schools that
the State can offer and many of our
intelligent citizens have freely ex-
pressed the opinion that nothing
could bring our city TO its proper
growth and status shot of this.
will make this trite and COM
monty accepted sentiment my text,
in giving an answer to Dion's in
quiry, and say: That the organiza-
ton of a thorough system of schools
will do more to remove the difficult
ties in the way Of successful manu-
featuring operations and success full
mercantile operations and successful
everything that is good for our NOR
ais, and good for our pockets. And
to have this city sort Of "Head CEN
tire" for schoolsis comparatively an
easy matter, only requiring the joint
consent Of a majority of the citizens
to accomplish the end.
First. The people must authorize
the City Council to establish a first
class school supported by taxation to
which every person, whether rich OF
poor, may send children to school
with the certainty that they will be
thoroughly taught aad disciplined by
competent teachers. This is econo-
my to the city, economy to each in
dividual taxed.
The tax paid by any man who
has two or three children will be
upon an average less than the tut
ton he now pays by 80 pr cent and
he will have the qualification to
know that with less money than
pays his present tuition, he is. also
helping others to an education who
are not able to pay tuition. When
this school system for Marietta is
really in effective operation, good
mechanics and artisans with ability
and skill, will find capitalists to put
them to work here in Manufacturing
not only trunks, but shoes, cotton,
wooden wear, etc, etc. | do not
want this article too long and will
suffice for the present by adding that
there should be no antagonism with
this public school from the private
schools. Priyote Schools worthy to
be patronized, will be more pros
porous than now simply because the
imperfect and mprovised schools
will be abandoned and there will be
no private schools left save those that
get patronage by their real worth. =
| will add again that in those cities
where there are the best public
schools, there are also found the best
private schools. This will be true
here. You will hear from me again
on this matter. l..

The above is condensed report
of the business transacted at Canton.
Were to give you anything like a
full report of the resolutions and
speeches and the opinions that were
published, too much Of your space
would be consumed. However, | will
hint towards them. A resolution was
passed urging all those who desire
the Road built for any reason what
ever to come forward and subscribe.
If they can't take but one share
$50 let them each one take that
much. Those who are able to take
more to take more. The idea adj
vanced was that whenever man
subscribed, ifhe only took one $50
share, that he then become a friend
to the Road. That the Road would
then have his moral support. That
when every man along the line be-
come thus friend and worker for
the enterprise, that its completion
would be the result at no very dis
tant day.
Mr.. Kimball in his remarks said,
that the day had passed when it was
necessary to be years in building
roads. That if the people along the
line and elsewhere, who desired
the road, would take hold in the
proper way and will the determine
ton to build the road, that it could
be built through in eighteen months
after dirt was broken. Tic said fur
Their, that the day had passed when
roads should be built for anything
else than for tho good of the people.
That roads should be managed in
such way that the people would
feel and know that the road was their
road-built for their benefit and
their accommodation-that cheap
freights and cheap passage was the
true policy for Rail Roads. to adopt
nowadays. That then the road
was benefit felt and appreciated
by the people and was not merely a
power to Cypress the people to en-
rich the Road.
But must close for the present
by saying that the Directors met in
Atlanta on yesterday and completed
their organization by electing Sec
rotary, Treasurer, and Vice Presi-
dent. Col. James Brown, Of Can
ton, was elected Vice President
The Directors called for five (5) per
cent of the subscribed stock, and or
dered the survey made at as early
day as possible. The Engineers
will begin the survey of the Road at
Marietta, on Monday morning next,
