When Napolean Bonaparte was
elected first Consul he wrote, with his
own hand, two letters, one to the King
of England and the other to the En-
Deror of Germany, in which he says
he had acquired sufficient glory as a
military leader, and he now wished to
resuscitate France and become great
as cival ruler. In his letter to Eng
land lie uses the following language:
"Must the war, Sire, which for the last
eight years has devastated the four
quarters of the world, he eternal Are
there no means of coming to al un-
derstanding? How can two Of the
most enlightened nations of Europe,
stronger already and more powerful
than their safety or their Independence
requires, sacrifice to ideas of vain glory
the well being of commerce, internal
prosperity, and the peace of families ?
How is it they do not feel peace to be
the first of necessities as the first of
glories?"

SHAME TO GEoRGIA's GOVERNOR.
Further Testimony as to the TaIla-
DOOSa SMinNie.

A Correspondent of the Anniston (Alo.) Ho,,
Blast, writing about the NcaU York HerulTS re
cent exposure Of the he1allapooSn swindlc. says ::
"For cool, organized and bareElced deception
IL Is without a parallelin the South. The
wonder Is that the governor of a great State.
or any man having any character, should for
n moment permit his name TO be associated
with such an enterprise. and that IL Is not de-
nounced and exposed by the press through
out the South is equally unfortunate. 1t is
such schemes that do the South much Farm,
and prevent the investment Of capital and
emigration to places that have merit. If there
is anything that would disgust q new conner
or investor with the south and drive him to
take the first train for home it would be a
vain to find iron ore enough to run a blast
furnace for an hour, or for Il gold mine that
the sponsors for Tallapoosa would put q dollar
in with the hope OF getting 1t back"

An Old Friend.

Our good old friend Mr.. John Gaulden, OF
Ninety7Six, was among those who honored
the Press and Banner by a visit yesterday.
He, like Mr.. Blyth, has gone far on life's jour
ney, but his heart Is young and joyous still:
man, he lives for his children. and the grand.
children, whom he loves as only a grandpa
rent can love. At peace with all mankind,
Him who first loved us, he waits for the end.

GOrdon's will.

Many citizens have read the will of Rober
C. Gordon. Since the death of his son, Robert
Thomas Gordon, various parties have procur-
ed legal advice as to their respective interests.
Messrs. Parker & MCGOWAN, Mes>rs. DeBruhl
& Bradley. Colonel Gary, and perhaps other
lawyers have been retained.
We ventured 10 give an opinion weeks
ago. in which we now believe we were mis-
taken, and at present disclaim any idea OF
settling any one of about half dozen legal
questions involved in the settlement Of the
estate or division Of the property, but ma
jorty OF those persons who have read the
will, and whom we have heard speak, seem 10
think the children of James Gordon will not
receive large share of the property in Ques-
tiOu.

The recently published report of the San
Francisco grand jury. charges that that city
is ruled by political "bosses," that the po-
lice judge is incompetent if not corrupt.
that the prosecuting attorney is no better,
that criminals are notified in advance of the
issuance of warrants of arrest, presumably
by the police commissioner or his clerk. and
that there is probably corrupt connection
between the police and the gamblers,
though positive proof of it cannot be OBJ.

The whole question of convict employ
ment has been put into great middle.
The one clear and certain result of it will
be a heavy and needless burden to the tax
payers. The only good that can come out
of the middle. so far as we can see. is that
the subject is likely to be examined and
discussed in the future with more candor
than in the past. and by such examna ton
and discussion an intelligent solution will
be reached. The conditions under which
prison labor must be carried OH during the
next six months. and the results of that la
Dor, will be brought home to the people
with more force than ever before. All pris-
on authorities agree that the labor should
be productive, for the good OF the convicts.
The process of getting the prisons of the
state out of the slough into which the legis-
lature has cast them, will be a process of
education and civilization. -Elmira Gazette.
