OUT OF IT ELEMENT.

Perhaps the most Incorporate criticism that
has yet appeared as to Gov. Wiltzs course In
vetoine the city charter bill emanated yester-
day from the Morning Star and Cuihotic Mes
senger-a journal which purports to be the or
gan of the Catholic Church and to exist by the
express official authority of the diocese. We
are surprised at this for many reasons. First,
because In the standing announcement of the
papers name and identity 1t solemnly de-
clares: "It will not interfere In politics. ex-
cept wherein they interfere with Catholic
rights" Secondly; because 1t Is a rather
startling spectacle to see purely religious
paper taking 30 violent part In an essen
TALLY political controversy. We cannot be-
lleve that any good Catholic will relish having
the Church committed to a quarrel In which
the Church has and can have no imaginable
interest, and still less do we believe that
Catholics will appr owe of the manner In
which the comm ittal has been made. The
question as to whether the form OF the city
government shall be changed Is wholly a
question of craftsmanship. 1t does not In
volve In the rem otest way the rights of Gath
olics as such, or touch ever SO lightly the
genuine interests or the avowed objects OF
the Church. We fail to perceive, therefore.
any justii cation whatsoever Of the course of
the Star and Messenger In aligning the
Church upon the question. We should doubt
the propriety of the act even were 1t courte-
ously and continently done. but, as things
are, the impropriety is all the more glaring
and conspicuous.
1t is not our purpose to enter into a discus
sion with the Star and Messenger. We mere
ly note the circu m stance that distinctly re-
lgious paper has invaded the arena OF party
CONTROVERSY, bringing with 1t the atmos-
phere of faction and the rhetoric of the ward
club. We refrain from replying to the article
In Its own vein, because we respect the garb
the paper wears-the sanction under which
It seems to dwell.

SOUTHERN GOLD,

There was quite breeze In Atlanta the
other day over the news received by Mr.
Hemphill, Of the Constitution. of the finding
In the Ocoochie valley, White county, of mug
gets OF pure gold, Weighing all the way
from five pennyweights to 440 pennyweights
The gold, 1t seems, Is found In the vegetable
garden of o farmer named Lumsden, who,
with two hands, at an expense OF 81 50 took
out of the garden four pounds OF pure ore or
960 pennyweights.
That the cultivation OF garden truck In
White county has suddenly given way to the
more profitable employment OF picking up
nuggets of pure gold Is not remarkable, and
we shall not be surprised to see stampede
for that section similar to that which took
place In 1849, when there was grand rush
for the aurferous shores OF California. The
mountains OF Northern Georgia have long
been known to be rich In gold and the only
wonder Is that capitalists have not long ago
worked these mines, which are not only pro-
ductive, but so much more accessible than
those OF the far West. The writer examined
the nuggets received by Mr.. Hemphill from
the Lumsden garden, and they were certain
ly as pure specimens of golden ore as ever
came from mother earth. That there will be
q sudden spread of gold fever, not only In
Georgia but In adjacent States, we regard as
certainty, and the gold fields Of Georgia
may yet yield as abundantly as those OF Cal
ifornia. All that seems to be needed Is capt.
tai and labor. The latter Is on hand In abund.
ance and the former will now, no doubt be
forthcoming.

ABOUT THE MILITIA BILL.

In Its Saturday morning edition the Pica-
yune undertakes to show that the trainers OF
the militia bill were a particularly absurd
and idiotic set OF persons. 1t appears that
they managed to conceal their intellectual
identity throughout the earlier stages OF the
bill, but the masquerade grew irksome at
last, and, in the ninth section, they boldly
threw aside all disguise as follows:
The active members Of the militia of this
State, In the parish of Orleans. shall be exem pt
from Jury du,y provided the member applying
for such exemption shall have attended all
reviews. pa1ades and inspections. answered all
calls for active service, and been present at at
least two drills each month during the, year In
certificate to that effect from bis company COM
mander attested to under oath before a proper
officer. shall be deemed requisite evidence
that the member Is entitled to exemption for
that year.
Giving to this section what the gifted editor
calls Tan attentive examination" the PIC.
concludes that 1t Is Inherently stupid, and
drops tear over the fatuity Of the authors.
The Pic g inference Is that the section re-
quires militiaman to serve faithfully until
the end Of year before he can get certiti-
cate of exemption, aud that ths certificate
thus obtained will apply only to the yea just
ended. OF course, IL this inference be cor
rect and logical one, the privilege involved
will not be very valuable, but 1t remains to be
seen whether the Pic ts as wise as it affects
to be, and whether the trainers of the bill are
as besotted as the PIC. would have them ap-
pear. We grant that the phraseology does
furnish pretext for such hypercritic ism as
the PIC. has fastened to indulge. Il u TO be

Uncle Dick Bishop Is strongly In favor OF
Ohio obtaining recognition on the presiden-
tial ticket. For this purpose one of his sons
Ia sending circulars throughout the State
urging the friends Of his father to attend the
primaries and see that proper and reliable
delegations are sent to the State convention.
1t is believed that Uncle Dick thinks his
name would look well on the Democratic
ticket under the words ''for Vice President
Thus far Gov. Bishop Is the only Democratic
asptrant who has made any effort. on the sur
face, to secure the Ohio delegation. lt Is safe
to say that number OF others will be heard
from before the convention meets.

MORE TONNAGE WANTED.

We learn that there Is an absolute want of
tonnage at this port to transport grain now
here and expected shortly to arrive. Ship
owners abroad cannot too soon appreciate
the growing commerce Of our city, conse-
quent upon the deep water at the mouth Of
the river and the building of railroads which
are soon to connect us with the great and
productive State Of Texas. Freights are Of
fering, and will continue to be offered, at re-
munerative rates, and the healthfulness of
this city is such that ships may come here
with perfect impunity. Steam tonnage is
particularly needed to transport the grain to
Europe, and In view Of the fact that the re-
cepts of grain are destined to become larger
and larger each year, ship-owners should
make a note OF 1t and send their vessels for
ward,

A rather peculiar fact Is developed by the
investigation into the Whitaker outrage at
West Point. 1t appears that not single
cadet associated with or recognized him.
This seems to require some explanation, In
asmuch as large majority of the cadets are
from the North, and majority of the whole
number are Republican In sentiment. Some
OF the stalwart organs declare. In connection
with this matter, that trace prejudice Is very
obstinate the world over" This Is true, and
yet these same organs protest violently
whenever they discover anything like race
prejudice" in the South.

regretted, since there ID disposition to OBJ
struot and embarrass our public affairs, that
the trainers Of the bill did not express In more
precise language the evident and unfnis-

most unfavorable construction that the Sec

must be clear to every one that the object Of
this part of the law is to encourage the mill.
tin in soldierly conduct and emulation and
to reward them, among other things,
with exemption from what Is usually
considered very unwecome duty. There
would be little wisdom in making
exemption during the year 1881 the reward OF
good conduct during the year 1880, for that
plan would virtually invite carelessness
throughout the year to which the reward ap-
Piled There would be no incentive to exem-
plary behavior during 1881 and the militiaman
would almost inevitably become q slovenly
soldier. What the law intends is to let the
record of each year furnish the standard OF
reco mpense. ana thus keep always before the
men u motive and an inspiration. For exam
pie, IL o man should be drawn on the first Of
M ny. and II. upon examination, 1t we're found
that he had been dillgent, orderly and pune
tual up to that time, as prescribed In section o,
he would be entitled to the certificate of ex-
emption. And so again, should he be drawn
later In the year. The law does not say that
the man must have attended drill twice
month throughout the entire year. but only
that he must have done 80 during the year
in other words, during 80 much OF the year
as shall have passed at the time of his being
drawn upon the jury. The OWL Code de-
clares that no law can be construed to mean
an absurdity. and that In doubtful or obscure
cases the manifest spirit and intention Of the
instrument shall be the guide. There can be
no question as to the meaning of this law
and. unless Gov. Witt goes TO the Picav,t,e

The attempt being made just now to 70

The attempt being made just now to force
Australian beef into competition with that
from this country In England does not appear
10 meet with much success. There is no lack
of cattle In Australia, but the distance to
Great Britain, particularly over the heated
waters OF the Indian Ocean. is too great to
admit of this business being made profitable.
In the meanwhile American beef is gaining
new laurels In England. There was preju-
dice against 1t at first, and the butchers could
only seil 1t by labelling 1t British beef
Their customers, however, soon saw through
this trick, and now demand In preference
American beef, particularly as 1t Is two cents
a pound cheaper than that raised In Great
Britain. Since 1876 our export oil fresn peer
has increased from 100000 to A.ooo'ooo
