COlQUITT'S RAP AT NEW.
An Editorial slur at Georgia the sena-

WASHINGTON, March Ex-senator Col
quit made vigorous speech in the execu-
tive session against the confirmation of
John C. New, who had, however, been
promised mission, and SO got it, choosing
a. bis text the following editorial from the
INDIANAPOLIS Journal Of Dece nber 2S, 1888,
and severely commenting upon the appoint
ment of man who would father such SEN
timents to represent the United States
abroad:
Georgia should not be judged too harshly.
When a minister of the gospel draws a
knife and cuts the heart out Of a parish
ioner WHO assaults him in the pulpit. the
incident should not be taken as dicating
a relapse of the community into barbarism
as would be the case in a northern neigh
borhood. The fact is, Georgia and the
other southern states are but just
emerging into civilIz ltion, the barbarism,
ignorance and cruden IS engendered by
slavery bel g outgrown but slowly. The
back counties of Editor aly's sta q sh uld
be congr tulated on having preachers and
congregations rather than condemn d be-
cause their preachers are not sufficiently
educa ed to abandon the favorite weapon
of the region, the bowie-knlfe."
