4 Again, the vast Increase in mum
bsrs Of the clerical profession must
BE- taken into account. Where they
were numbered by tens then they
are numbered by hundreds now.
Experience has taught that in every
large body there will be found some
that are undeserving. 1t is im-
possible to weed them all out. If
in heaven itself was found Lucifer
and his followers, how can absolute
perfection be expected in the church
militant. 1t is most palpably un-
just to say that the shepherds Of
Gods folds of the present day are
more unworthy than their predeces-
sors. If few more fall, a great
many more come out of the furnace
of temptation, whose heat the
thoughtless do not stop to consider,
purest gold. Another fact in con-
necsion with this same matter should
be regarded. For the last fifty
years the world has been in tur-
MOL. Nations have been fighting
nations and brothers, brothers. In
this seething caldron the lightest
and basest come to the surface first.
In times like these, wars demorsl>
izing tendencies are beheld in every
direction, and the ministry, like all
other professions, is compelled to
suffer the devils day.
When minister is found guilty
Of any crime a thousand sleuth-
hounds are Immediately put upon
his track and their clamor to the
needless ear magnify his wrong
doing. When anybody else, unless
it be a government official, is caught
in the same acts nothing is said of it
because it is not so gratifying to the
debased side of humanity, and thus
the ministry suffers by comparison
with other walks of life who are
unworthy to unloose its shoes. The
preachers of the Gospel are the most
disinterested, humble, loving and
lovable, purest and hottest of al
men, and SANDER of them hows The
meanest side of a depraved human
nature. 4

hind the sable pail of war, never
again, to rise, he was among the
FIRST to succumb to the inevitable.
The bourbonism and intolerant big
otry Of the southern democracy was
entirely foreign to his great nature,
and he embraced the tenets of con-
servative republicanism, and to-day
is as good a republican as any Of
us. When a man is sorry for his
past course and manifests, that re-
pentance by deeds, it is ignoble to
show suspicion of him. 1t is such
appointments that will make repub-
licanism strong in the southern
country, when in after years the
topsheavy democracy shall, by its
own weight, have fallen TO pieces.
Gen. Gordon's resignation from
the senate was surprise even to
his most intimate friends and will
cause q feeling of sorrow in bis state
and the whole south. We consider
him, taken all in all, the best man
the south had in the senate, and if
a solid south is a fixture we had
much rather see men like Gordon
than the Ben. Hill type of politi>
clan should represent her.
Governor Colquitt has capped
the climax of his already
rather unpopular administration by
the appointment of ex-Gov. Brown
to fill the vacancy. Gov. Brown is
not the beau ideal Of the Georgians
ard it is not strange that they
should object. A public meeting
held in Augusta, composed Of the
best democrats of the place, passed
resolutions denouncing the matter
in the seyerest terms. They said
that he was not q typical
Georgian, was not interested
in Georgia's welfare, had been an
enemy Of the state and closed by
declaring that the appointment was
deserving of "censure SO great that
it could not be expressed in words. "
May they i've long to enjoy such
feelings. We confess to a feeling
of joy over the family rows of our
dominant party. By their own
peculiar methods they have silenced
the voice of southern republicans
and their wrath, when they find
that all of them cant place theil
paws in the United States cast
drawers, is beautiful to behold.

THE NEW APPOINTMENTS.

MIR. Hayes in the selection of
cabinet officers has been fortunate.
Not one yet has been charged with
malfeasance or breach of trust, and
each department of the government
has been singularly free from cor
ruption and with all the pristine
fondness for nosing around after bad
scents the democratic majority has
been able to discover nothing calcu-
lated to bring scandal upon the adj
ministration. We are sorry for
them, for blighted hopes are said to
be very calling possessions. The
new postmaster general is peculiarly
fitted to continue this system of well
doing in his department. In the thirty
years he has occupied public po-
sition, not one act of dishonor has
been attached to his political record
or private character. A man Of
great ability and irreproachable
character, he will diffuse through
the postoffice department his own
heightened individuality, and honor
the American people by the display
in such prominent place, Of hil
great virtues. His appointment
has caused great satisfaction, and
We have yet to hear Of single case
OF disapproval.
Among some republican Office
seekers and supra-stalwarts, the ap-
pointment of Gen. Longstreet t.
the position made vacant by
the promotion of MIR. May,
nard is. looked upon with ill.con
cealed disgust. We are glad t,
see, however, that this class is n
