BOB TOOMBs SPEAKS.

Last Thursday night Bob TOombs
made one of his characteristic speech
es at Atlanta. We find it reported at
length in the Constitution, from which
we give full extracts below, as its red
hot style and sentiments will make it
subject of national interest and
comment:
Hon. Robert ToOmbs responded to
calls in one of his characteristic eff
forts.
FELLOW -CITIZENS:-I am not in
this programme. (Laughter.) came
here as listener. L have not made a
speech in public since 1868. / have
been watching events though. l am
an outlaw. am proud of my outlaw
ry, laughter and / thank the living
God that [ have lived to see just such
q state of things, because we shall be
able to sift the chaff from the wheat
we can find out all the true Demo-
Gratis, chalk their backs and kick the
others out! Laughter J stand upon
the principles of public liberty which
has been advocated for eight centu-
Ties by my ancestors-principle as
good to-day as in 1887. stand by
free governments and the right of
freemen to govern themselves.
You talk to me about your Grants
and Mr.. Greeleys, and all such stuff.
| will beat them at the ballot-boX, or
any other sort of box you choose. (Ap-
plause and laughter.
Now this is a very plain question
there is no trouble about it. Show me
a man that tried to make a party out
of the negroes, and / will show you a
Greeley man. Show me a Bullock
man that has turned Democrat, and
/ will show you Greeley mana
thief that has robbed the State, and /
will show you Greeley man. Show
me one of the Mitchell orphans. and
l will show you Greeley man. Show
me a State road lessee, and l will show
you Greeley man but show me an
honest man and / will show you an
anti-Greeley man.
Why, we have no question with US.
There is not white Greeley man in
the county of Wilkes, the old hornets
nest of revolution.
lam glad we have got them all to-
gether. We will get all the New De-
parturists, the Bullock men, the
swindIers, the thieves, in one pile and
then get rid of them.
AS to Greeley and Grant, with one
exception, would support old John
Browns Ghost, if could maintain
Democratic principles and popular
rights. 1 would support the devil in
preference to either of them, because
when you support the devil you sup
port a very respectable antagonist
He is not q coward. He fought God
Almighty very respectable fight, and
he fights him pretty tough fight till
now-so the story goes in Revela-
ton. A'-+
+. AS to me / put my politics upon
one section of Magma Cbarta. No
man shall be imprisoned, found guilty
or exiled unless by the decision of a
Judge, and the verdict of a jury accor-
ding to the laws of the land. The laws
that He makes, and will accept laws
from no other So far "a the Govern
ment of the United States is concerned
/ am its enemy. 1 have trod under
foot the Haunting lie hundred times,
and trust to do it again. They are
no friends of mine or of my country
They are no friends of liberty.
What's the difference between these
people? Grants a soldier, a sort of fool,
but he loves his friends, sticks to his

The Great Air Lime Tgouge--An-
either Forward Movement
Change Of Schedule. -

Since the adoption of the present
schedule between New Orleans and
New York, which went into opera
ton on the 18th of April, last, several
of the roads composing this line have
greatly improved in the way of new
rails, ballasting, etc., thereby afford
ing the line the means of making a
new and improved schedule, which
will still further add to the many adj
'vantages already possessed by this
quick and delightful route over all
rival lines.
For the purpose of encouraging a
new and quicker schedule, the repre-
sentatives of the different roads met
in Knoxville on Wednesday, and after
a session extending over two days pei
fectcd the new schedule, which will
take place on Sunday, June 23d, and
will, in all respects, better accommo-
date the travelling public than the one
now in use.

Long before the hour (hal-past ten o'clock) ap-
pointed for the services the house was filed with
friends, while the street was thronged for two
or three blocks on either side. A large force Of
police was present. under Captain Burden, OF the
Ninth precinct to preserve order and to act as es
Icort to the procession. steady stream OF people
was passing in at the entrance on the avenue,
through the parlor in which lay the caskot con-
tanning the remains, and through the rear of the
house to Thirty eighth street. The casket was

The Vicar General then sprlnkled the CONN with
holy water and read in an impressive manner 2
the exercises came to an end. The ceremonies
throughout were Of the simplest kind, aud many
present were surprised at their breyity. When
Father STAIRS left the room, the CONN lid was
fastened down and the casket was carried to the
hearse awaiting II at the door. q
BY this time great cavalcade OF coaches had col
lected In Fifth avenue and Thirty-eighth street.
When the pallbearers and personal friends had
taken their seats rush ensued on the part OF the
general public to secure the vacant carriages, and
It was evident that many succeeded who had no
interest In the matter beyond desire for a
ride down Broadway, even to the exclusion Of
those who had q much better right. Captain Bur-
den had provided escort Of police to clear the
way and the provision was BY no means unneces-
lsary. large number OF on1oers was also In at
tendance to guard the sidewalks and the entrance
to the house. .
The procession passed down Fifth avenue, through
Waverley place to Broadway, and down Broadway
to Hamilton ferry, whence the body was taken to
Greenwood Cemetery and inferred.

The police arrangements, under the direction Of
Superintendent KesO, and Captain Burden, OF the
Twenty-ninth precinct, were the admiration not
only OF those who were brought into more imme-

their duties, but also Of those who lined the SIDE
walks and filed the windows on the route
sion in Fifth avenue 10 the Immediate approaches
to Greenwood there was none OF the usual block

frequent to all funerals when passing through
