Governor stone.
WinUna Advance.

The Macon Beacon, Of recent date,
takes occasion to say much that is
complimentary to Gov. Stone, all of
which we think is well merited and
deserved by our Governor. He has
made no attempt at brilliant or fancy
BeacOnsfield craftsmanship, but in
every exercise Of executive power and
in the performance Of all duties Incl
dent to his responsible position, even
to the minutes detail, he has brought
to bear clear head, Il vigorous, hardy
intellect, a bold, courageous heart, Il
steady nerve, a well-trained mind, a
platonic patriotism, a loyalty to duty,
a dignity of manner, and abstemiOus-
ness of habit that has marked him in
our estimation, as being just the man
for the high Office he now fills, espcci-
ally during the past four years; and,
in saying this, we do not intend it as
fulsume praise, nor for selfish pur-
pose-having no axe to grind, nor
do we say it with a view to Gov.
stones future or present aspirations
for we know not what they arC-but
because we have thought that many
of our State newspapers were, at
times, unjust in their criticisms upon
him and some Of his official acts. We
do not believe there is a man in the
State, be he who he may, who could
have taken hold of the helm of State
at the time GOV. Stone did--right in
the midst Of the most remarkable
civil revolution, and the most re-
markable politica excitement through
which our people have ever passed,
and steer our good ship as clear of
breakers into Il port of peace, as he
did.

Now comes the Veteran of the East
with serious proportion to tax
preachers for saving souls. He con-
siders preaching legitimate and
honorable business, like practicing
law OF making bricks, and he sees no
legitimate reason why preachers
should not pay a tax ior the privilege
of engaging in that line.
1t took man of superb gumption to
trace out this bearing upon the ques-
ton, and we may venture to say that
the Veteran is the only man in the
United States or Europe with moral
courage-or possibly, we ought to say
immoral courage enough to tender
a novel scheme of this kind to increase
the public revenue. But with the
Veteran, it is anything to get into
position that nobody on earth can
possibly afford to endorse. If he can
strike a new-fangled and absolutely
revolving theory that is purely origi-
nal and has the elements of moral
earthquake in it, he fastens on to it
like duck takes to mill-pond. TIE
more it shocks the conventional tenn
pies of morality, the closer he clings
to it; the more it stuns the proprieties,
practices and traditions of the ages, the
better he enjoys it,
But the Veteran is a religious man
for all this, and when we bring up our
biography of him to the present CEN
tury, we will be able to explain many
things which now wear the appear
ance of contradictory idiosyncracies.
We ask the public to suspend its
Judgment of the Veteran until we get
this history up.

HENRY WARD BEECHER does not

admire the newspapers. He says:
1 take up my paper and see one
page, which may be called the Jail
page, and | sometimes wish the editor
himself were behind the bars. 1t
contains the record of crimes. Then
there is another page, the hospital
page; a man has broken his neck,
and not the right man. And then
there is the wrangling page, where
all the fault-fnding and -grumbling
gets in print Here and there [ find
CLEANS of knowledge and light. But
it is not fair exponent Of life. True
life is hidden behind household doors.
Mr.. Beecher's idea of newspapers
was formed probably during the trial
of his famous and infamous scandal
suit several years ago, and the details
of that revolving trial so faithfully
to the minutest particular,
was, in truth, severe shock to the
moral standing of newspapers. But
they have rallied, and may be able
