A Georgia letter says: b" Robert Toombs
still lives at town north of Atlanta. and isa con-
Sidera BILE proprietor of Atlanta real estate His
private example and frothy teachings have an evil
influence on the young men-the more so that he
has certain fantastic brilliancy of expression
which encourages the growth of rowdies When
he is drunk-a common matter-he will stand and
talk to lads, swearing the while, telling them to
rejoice in being rebels, and saying that he will
never take the oath of allegiance to the American
Government, &C. Being rich, the young fellows
get the idea that all this coarseness and these
timents are portions of the general genius of the
man, and have assisted to make his money. There
is no funeral more ardently to be desired by the
respectable people Of Atlanta than that of Bob

THE TONGUE OF A BOURBON.
An EpI.aph-tNot by Grny.)

Here rests his tongue upon the lap of sound
A tongue whose accents are to fame well known
Upon its frequent use the Nation frowned
And gladly saw it silenced by Mahone.
Large was its gift of speecb-but insincere;
Heaven did recompense as largely send
To those who were constrained perforce to hear;
And Time brought it, like all things to au end.
No further seek its venom to disclose;
Or draw its frailtieS out by word of mouth.
But let their Bourbon memories repose
Within the bosom Of the Solid South"

that the President regards their course
in the highest degree reprehensible, or,
as Senator Sherman repeatedly expressed
it yesterday, unconstitutional and revo-
lutionary" The minority will not invite
the frowns of the Executive if they are
told by him that he shares the honest
indignation of all the Senators of his
party at the unexampled conduct of their
opponents. If half the pressure from all
sources is now brought to bear upon the
minority to yield that has been put upon
the majority to cause it to change front
the deadlock will soon come to an end.
"Boss, I've come up here from Texas to
strike the old man for an office. Pm

the smile of encouragement that followed
drew the quarter, and the gentleman from

SOME pretend that if the question as to
the control of the Senate is postponed I'M
til next December then the Republicans
may come into their rights without oppo-
sition. No reason exists why the minor
ity should follow this course then rather
than now not the least in the world.
The proposition is made for present ad-
vantage and with the hope that the pos
sibilities of the future may give them OPP
portunities which they do not now enjoy.

In a total vote of about 45 900 in Gin
cinnati on Monday William Means, Democrat, was
elected mayor over Charles Jacob, jr, Republican,
by 2,5l4 majority. The Republicans elected six
of the city buildings officers by maiorities ranging
from 3O7 to SIS chiefly about I20) and three out
of the four members of the board of education by
majOrities ranging from 14t to 9SS. The Demo-
Gratis elected the other member by 475 majority.

Senator Lamar, who is in the Senate

revelation of this long debate. Northern COM
mtntators have sometimes spoken of the " best
citizens of Kemper County" rather harshly, but
they haYe never gone SO far as to say those infa-

stress of his zeal to prove this astounding fact be-
came exhausted and had to take his seat before
finishing his speech. Nobody will be surprised at

The Democratic Senators are very
much afraid that the Republican party is
disgracing itself by accepting Readjuster
alliance. They fear that the Republican
party is to be debased and dishonored by
what they term this unholy compact.
When Senator Hill claimed thirty-nine
Democratic Senators, and asked, in dra-
matte language, Where is the traitor in
this majority" he overlooked the fact
that the Democratic party thus accepted
the Readjuster-now called the Repudi-
ator MahOne-without question, and put
itself in the very attitude it now con-
demns as that of the Republicans, and
Senator Morgan now speaks under the
same disadvantage. But consistency
never troubled the Democratic party or
Democratic Senators TO any appreciable
extent. The only charge of Reputation

SENATOR MORGAN may believe that his
display of demagogry will be effective,
but it only shows what has often been
pointed out, that Southern Senators have
no appreciation of the intelligence of
Northern people.
IT is asserted that Alexander III. has

constitution is not granted in six weeks
