A Sherman Day in Atlanta.

Can it lo possible that it is seriously
contemplated to have "Sherman Dav"
in Atlanta? Surely the gallant General,
like every dog, has had his day in At
lania. Surely the good people of Atlanta
have not forgotten it. IF they have their
memories must be Of most convenient
character
As l understand the position of the
Southern people ut the present time, it
is that of passive obedience. They know
that they have 10 fight an up hill battle
to again take the proud place they once
held i'll the roll of States they are nobly
doing So, and mus; eventually succeed.
But Is il necessary for that success that
possibly the mos. offensive man--with
one cXception--in The whole of the
States should be 1aunicd in their face,
and at place where his presence would
be. peculiarly distasteful
1t is all very we'll to be conciliatory,
but it can be carried too far, and it is in
my opinion doing so, when the South is
asked to welcome with open arms the
man who destroyed Atlanta, burned Co.
lumba and disgraccd Charleston.
Perhaps the General is desirous of
denying that he destroyed Atlanta-it is
his forte. He denied that he burned
Columbia, and believe that he is quite
prepared 20 make an equally true state
ment in reference 10 his "Atlanta Day."
General Sherman is in command of
the United States army. Let him stick
to his duties, and not add insult to in
jury by patronizing the Southern people.
1 do not want to raise bitter feelings, but
as | feel deeply on this subject. l write
as l feel. | most earnestly hope that
the spectacle of the Southern people
licking he hand that smote them will
not be one of the features of the Atlanta
xposition.-C Cores. GrccnviHe News.

Our Railroad interests.

The mir is full of glorious rumors as tc
our prospects for securing the contem-
plated railroads through this county, but
we are certain Of nothing, and would
advise eur people not to GO entirely crazy
on the prospective help We know but
little, and SO far but little is known by
anybody here, and that little we are not
at liberty 10 publish. The progress Of
railroad matters, everybody knows, should
be kept entirely from the public. Up to
the present time reliable news seems I'M.
important, but there is no telling what
may be developed. Certain it IS that
Gen. Butler has just returned from New
York, where he went in the interest of
some our roads, and that he had invited
certain Of our citizens to meet him in
Columbia last night. We know not
what propositions, if any, are to he sub
mitted, but we trust that the best offer
which may be made will be accepted
without delay, no matter from whom it
may come. 1t is worse than foolish 10
refuse an offer from foreign capital and
wait 10 beg anybody at home for help.
What we want is the roads. 1t matters
little to us who builds thcm.- -.4bJeriWe

a FEW PLAIN WORDS.

Two weeks ago the Abbevile Medium
gave its idea. of the political wants of
this State in this brief sentence:
What we need is genuine revival T
the first principles of the Democracy that
gave the party life, dignity, honor and IN
fiuence.
And to this the Augusta Chronicle q
Constitutonalia made n very pertinent
aud suggestive reply, as follows:
True, friend. But wc will never be
thus favored while badly led The party
wants change of leadership II several
important directions. We are not only
spoiled by ''scntimentaii>m,' but slaugh
tered by worship
It looks really as if son,o "cwsrspcrs
do not appreciate the beauties of ma
chine politics, but would be SO hcartcss
as to take away from the "bossc,' their
assumed right to rule without question
from the people In view of this fact, il
might be rs well for the aforesaid bosses
to prepare 10 conc down in this State rs

has been Il very patriotic set Of men in

been accorded no share in the picture,

time will have TO run ticket composed
of representative men from different sec
tions of the State, nominated by the rep

The Democratic victory in New York
is rs much due to stalwart apathy a. to
Democratic activity. Tho Tammany
detection from the Democracy was very
considerable, and would have proven
fatal to Democratic prospects but Tor the
snlking Of Conkling and the stalwart
Republicans, who had been Ignored in
the Convention. The election there had
two important results. One was that it
completely slaughtered John Kelly, who
has for several years past been able to
defeat the Democratic party Of New
York by his complete control Of the
T"mmany organization. Getting rid Of
Kelly will greatly enhance Democratic
prospects i'll New York for the future.
Kelly has been entirely defeated. He
now controls no patronage, aud there
fore, in the future his power will be very
little for good or for evil, and therefore
we imagine that We will hear Of no fur
thcr Kelly rcvolts. The second result Of
the election is to prove that Senator
Conkling stiil occupies the controlling
position i'll the Republican party Of New
York. When he sulks defeat attends the
councils of the party, and when he fights
victory perchcs upon ts standard The
divisions in the party there are such as
to render it improbable that the Repub-
licans will again bs harmonious for years
to come. Taking these two facts TO-
gcther, it is n reasonable belief that the
Democracy Of New York has brighter
prospects of victory now than at any
time since the election of Governor Rob.
inson four years ago.
