SILENT PEOPLE.

We all reckon among our friends
or acquaintances some silent man or
woman whose influence is felt, whose
rarely expressed opinion carries
weight, whose words are few, indeed,
but well chosen, spoken in clear,
harmonious tones, go to the point
and decide it. We have all met
with quiet, well read and well. bred
women, whose society we have
sought and found an ever increasing
thirst for--women whose minds I'M
folded, leaf by leaf, rare beauties
which make one feel better for every
hour spent with them. To know
such women is to study them, is to
love them, to hunger for their socie-
| fy, to prize their presence, to regret
their absence, and to mourn for them
forever when they have passed into
the "silent land" To such women
the world owes much, far more than
those who speak these are the wo>
men who make home happy and life
beautiful; to whom the cross words,
the impatient tone are strangers,
whose children are surprised at a
harsh tone, and who never fear the
blow they have no knowledge of;
these are they who, saying nothing
Of woman's rights, think the more OF
woman's duties, the chief of which
is woman's highest privilege, max
ing home happy.

HARMONY RnsToRRp.

Through the action of the mass
meeting in Marietta on Tuesday last,
harmony in support of the most
prominent candidates on the County
Ticket has been, to great extent,
secured, and we think, for the Leg
islature, at least, there will be ne
opposition. For the Senate there il
still dissatisfaction which may con
tinue, though apart from the circum'
stances attending his nomination
Mr.. HOWELL is regarded as gen
tleman emincntly worthy Of the posi-
ton. For the 9TH Congrcssiona
District there is not so fortunate
condition of affairs for the nominee
Of the party. Mr.. Trammcll vii
have to work in earnest if he woult
pile up the old democratic majority
against DIR. FELTON,.

A nHAprnR ON POLITICS.

1t does not matter how the people
are governed, whether by military
authority or by legislative corrup-
ton and usurpation, induced by
rings, perverting the public good to
narrow and selfish uses the people
are in either case the creatures Of
tyrants who prey upon their sub
stance and happiness. If our people
would be free and equal to the pre-
servation Of popular government
they must become more enlightened
and better understand their true in
terests and how to manage Them
Then Military despotism may be
bridled and demagogues, popular
ring masters and combinations OF
spoilsmen, may be held in that regard
which the public good Demands
Let the public good become the su-
preme rule of action and let that
good be properly understood as well
as the mode of attaining it, and we
have nothing further to fear from
the usurpations Of ambition or the
corruption Of the aspirauts for pow
er.
With such motive animating our
people and with such intelligence
directing them we have nothing to
fear from the presence Of Federal
troops in the conflict of the race
problem nothing to fear from poll
ticians representing constituency
as enlightened as themselves. Re.
publicanism would rest upon its Sc
cure foundations amply guarded
against the encroachments of despot
ism and from its greater foe--inter'
nal disorder.

APPRECIATED.

The President questions the pa
triotism of the late Republican Con-
vention of Pennsylvania and doubts
its devotion to the public good say
ing: "The Pennsylvania politicians
gave great trouble to Mr.. Lincoln
through their opportunities, and the
extraordinary character of their de.
mands. They have had but little
more modesty with me than they
had with the previous administra-
lion, and as they are always in hot
water among themselves, and in
volved in all sorts of questionable
schemes and intrigues their dc.
mands have been source OF much
annoyance. The politics ofthe State
are VIGOROUSLY corrupt, and the bad
reputation the leaders have acquired
locally cannot fail to be injuriously
felt when they mix up with national
affairs. | think, with General Bah
cock, that their nomination of a can
dida,e for the next presidency at
this unreasonable time is designed TO
subserve some local object but it
may also be intended TO strengthen
new demands on the administration
by a particular clique in that State,
or, in other words, to answer the
purpose Of threatening letter"

CAPT =. P. HOWELL.

The Convention for nominating
Senator for the 35th District (com-
posed Of the counties of Cobb, Full
ton and Clayton), assembled in At
lanta on the LIST inst, nominated Capt.
Z. p. Howell. Although we do moi
live ID the 35th District, il affords us
much pleasure to congratulate the
party upon the choice. Capt. How
ell Is talented, industrious and zeal,
GUS. and will serve not only his im>
mediate District, but the State,
faithfully. lie is a brilliant speak
ser, and possesses untiring energy.
We predict for him additional hon
ors ia the new field TO which be has
been called.
According to the custom Of rota'
ton, which has been a practice
among the Democracy for years,
Clayton county was entitled to The
Senator for next term. Fulton coun
ty recognized this claim and made
an honest, manly effort to center on
a man from Clayton, and when this
was found TO be impossible, reluc-
family nominated Capt. Howell.

THE THIRD TERM.

1t is now believed by many prom
iueut Republicans that Gen. Grant
will be the nominee Of the liepubli'
can party for third term and it j.
eaid that the Southern Republicans
will go solid for him. If such be
facts the white people Of the South
must again found their hopes upon
the national Democracy, as this is
the only alternative il Grant prefers
the negro as an ally. Gen. Toombs
win have to lead off in some other
