that in his heart of hearts he was a dn- ion man, but he behaved with such cbn- sistent prudence that his sentiments kx- posed him to no danger. Here, and in this connection, it is impossible to avoid a sense of something unsympathetic and sarcastic in the tone of the bographer Leaving Mississippi, pr. Barnard re- mained quietly at Norfolk for some time, and on the fall of that place in May, 1s62, he passed within the northern lines. His doubts were now completely dissipated, and in little while he was flaming nm ionist. publishing in 1863 Letter to the President of the United States by Refu- geo. in which slavery was denounced as something worse than the sum of all kil- lainy. His biographer comments severely on this letter, going so far as to deny that he was refugee in any proper sense of the word. There is something of the manner of PurcelPs Life of Man ming in the remark that as a conse- quence of this letter his appointment to some permanent position of honor and usefulness at the north was assured and, on the resignation of President King. he was elected as president of Columbia college !"

POWELL SCHOOL TEACHERS.
Professor Moore Lectured at Yesterday After soon's Meeting on Morse
 Mythology.

The teachers of Powell school meet every Friday afternoon for the purpose of common discussions in regard to ped agogy or to hear prepared dissertations on literary topics. They enjoy this work and take much interest in the meetings. Before repairing to the lecture room the pretty young women form a pleasant and merry group at luncheon, where, with white aprons and domestic airs, such as the State Herald reporter found them yesterday afternoon, one is at once impressed with the fact that there is a becoming practical side to their natures for every day matters aside from the duties of the school room. Miss Mary Cahalan, the valued and experienced principal of the Powell school, cordially received the visitors, Messrs. N. L. Mill Ter, $. J. Jackson and a State Herald re- porter, and, after presenting them to the bevy of charming teachers, invited the party to the lecture room on the second floor, where Prof. A. s. Moore, principal of the high school, read an interesting paper on the Influence of Morse My thoiogy on English Literature" The lec- ture as carefully prepared. Professor Moore drew attention to the strength of idea and expression in the northern lan- guages. This is typical. The gods of the Morse mythology were entrusted in their awe inspiring ruggedness and strength
 
 mythology. Thor was the great Morse god. He was strength. Shakespeare, whose force of expression has never been equaled, drew heavily on Morse mythol- ogy for material. He might be called the Thor of literature. Longfellow turn ed to the languages of the north for a strength of expression and imagination. Why do we know so little in regard to Morse mythology? Because the people of the western world chose to follow the systems of mythology prepared for study by the Greek writers than to follow language whose mythology had no sys- tenn at all. In this way the Greek my thology, when used by men of letters, aroused a responsive chord, owing to the acquaintance the school room has given the southern mythologies.
 When Professor Moore concluded the lecture the young ladies rendered him an exquisite basket of roses in apprecia- tion of his lecture.
 The following teachers of the public schools were present:
 Miss Mary Cahalan, principal of Pow ell school; Misses Cora Palmer, Floribel Brown, Alma Lane, Daisy Carpenter, Mary Bostick, Fannie Randolph, Hattie Bradshaw, Emma Wellman, Katie Smith, Mary George Linn, Lillian Fowlkes. Annette Muslin. Lula Brad ford and Mary Armstrong.

A FRANK CONFESSION.

A Washington special to the Courier Journal has the following to say about an Alabamian whom it says has been east looking for money to aid in the ad- vsncement of a business enterprise: "A well known Ala bama business man was in the city today en route home from New York. He had been to the latter place to raise $200,000 on an important business enterprise in Selma, and had about succeeded when the free coinage of silver carried the state This caused the money men to back out, as they were afraid that if they loaned the cash they would only be paid fifty cents on the dollar"
 The special contains a most remark able confession, and that confession IS that the moneyed men in New York, now that Alabama has spoken, are agreed that the free coinage sentiment is going to carry the day in these United States Those fellows who are so anx- ious of late about the laboring people of the country pretend to believe that the free coinage of silver would flood this country with 30 cent dollars Believing. or pretending to believe, that way, and declining to invest on the ground that they do not wish to be paid back in 50 cent dollars, Is a. candid confession by them that the country is going to the free coinage of gold and silver. Such frank confessions on the part of New York shylocks will not we opine, tend to-. encourage the newspapers in these parts that are using a vast deal of their valu- able space in an effort to prove that the free coinage craze is dying out and has no chance to win. The prominent Ala bamian should have had Germans diag- nosis of the case at hand in order that he could have read it to the New York shylocks and proven to them that pos sibly they were giving up the fight too soon The time, possibly, was when the sending out of such stuff as the Wash ington correspondent of the Courier Journal embodles in the above, would have had some influence with the voters Of the country, but that day has passed. such things are only a mild way the boys in the east have of threatening the people, in the hope of blutiing them. but It won't work nowadays. The people are thinking for themselves.

MEssRs. OATES AND roMpK1Ns.

It is a pleasure to defend these two gentlemen from an unjust attack. The Mobile Register says:
 "The correspondent of the Atlanta Constitution, who was in Montgomery during the convention, echoes the opin- ion of a good many sound money men when he quotes one of the most prom inent men in Alabama as saying: If it was not for some of our own men we would have carried the nomination for Clarke In the first place, Governor Oates had to stab the "old guards" in the back when he refused to stand for a second term for the governorship. Un- der the tradition governing nominations he would have been entitled to this in- dorsement, and that would have kept Captain Johnston out of the field for two years longer. As it was, however, he had such an overweaning ambition to be the next senator from this state that he abandoned his point of vantage and threw the prize of the governorship open for contest Now, l might as well tell you that Oates stands as much chance Of being senator from Alabama as for becoming the czar of Russia. Even if we had the power we would not confer the office upon him. The second blow which was given to the Cleveland party in Ala bama was the resignation of the chair manship of the state executive commit tee by Colonel Tompkins, who also had an ambition to become our next senator, but he will now have to stay at home and keep company with Governor Oates. His resignation of that office rendered 1t possible for Captain. Johnston to cap ture the committee, and thus, with the machinery of the state in his hands, to throw the polls open to everybody to vote, which meant that we would be de- feated. I can tell you now that the gold men of Alabama will not soon forget the conduct of Oates and Tompkns, who al- lowed their personal ambition to sacrl- flee the party they represented
 Abiding to the above remarks we beg leave to say that the correspondent of the Atlanta Constitution appears to have echoed good many things that had no foundation in fact. The Register adopts the correspondents attack upon two of our leading citizens who have done stall wart work for the democratic party and are recognized as valuable citizens.
 Governor Oates, when first nominated, distinctly declared that he would not seek second term. He stood by his declaration. Had he done otherwise he would have been charged with deceiving the people.
 MT. Tompkins resigned from the exec utlve committee because he offered as candidate for United States senator, and 1t would have been highly improper for him to hold the party machinery while seeking an office to be elected by the candidates whose cause he might be called to pass upon as one of the execu- tive committee.
 These gentlemen acted with proprety and delicacy and cannot be injured by the arrows of the Georgia correspondent.

British Prosperity With Free Trade.

Boston Globe.
 Next fall the high protection stumpers will be warning their beloved fellow citi- zens against free trade England. Yet Great Britain, beleaguered by all the protective powers of the earth and hav- ing no protection of her own with which to defend herself, shows up years &C., count of prosperity that is the envy of many nations. It will be incumbent upon the extremist in protective matters to explain this showing next fall. None of the republican journals are now at- tempting to account for it. The fact is that Great Britain has been diligently cutting ice and finding a market for it.

Bill for the Benefit of Deserters.

Baltimore Sun.
 The general pension bill now under dis cussion in the house provides that deser- tion or dishonorable discharge shall not be bar to a pension under the act of 1890. This is proposition which de- serves the condemnation of every union soldier who fought for a principle and was true to his colors to the bitter end. Desertion is right fully considered to be the most dis graceful offepse of which a soldier can be guilty, and under certain conditions the penalty, in time of war, Is death. If it is to be declared of such trifiing inn portance as to be no bar to a demand upon the bounty of the government we shall establish a precedent that will surely plague us in the future. More over, we shall lower the personnel of the army, and when we open the gates to deserters from the army and receive them with the same honors as we bestow upon men who did their duty as soldiers to the last we put a premium upon cowardice and treach- cry and offer an affront to every pen sioner who is on the rolls by reason of his merits. d

man who proved to be false proph- ct last year can but expect to have his prophecies of this year questioned. Col. Josiah Patterson is now prophesying that the single gold standard people will con- trol the next national democratic con- vention. It is fresh in the minds of news paper readers that last year. on his re- turn from his stamping out mission down in Mississippi, Colonel Josiah predicted that the state of Mississippi would turn up for the single gold standard. When the election came off every single county in the state went for free coinage. Give us something besides Germans and Josi- ah Patterson's predictions. They don't count.

Ihese parlshes gave 16,933 votes to roster and f67 to Pharr, a democratic majority of 16i66, but 1t is an element of weakness if the democracy depends for success upon these parishes and these votes.
