sitting gloomily by the fire of a
pleasant room. Presently he
looked up into his mothers face
and. bursting into tears. he cried
out: Mamma, [ lost all the hap>

but the experience Of older
children who stray away from
the teachings Of our Heavenly

found after indulging in some

all the happy out of our heart. "

COLORED MEN In OFFICE
Senator Bacon Declares They Are
Not Benefited Thereby.
The Georgia Statesman Feels Sure
Such Appointments In the Sonth
Will Estrapge the Races.

The New York Herald publishes num-
ber OF communications from prominent
Southern men on the subject ofne groes hold-
ing office in the South. Among them is the
following letter from Senator Bacon. Of
Georgia.
The appointment of colored men to office
in the South will certainly lead to race an
tagonisms and estrangements which would
otherwise not exist. Suchappointments are
of small benefit to the few ne groes thus az
pointed, and are Of very great INJURY TO the
masses of the negroes in the ill-feeiiug en-
gendered between them and the whites.
upon whose friendship and good Will they
are wholly dependent.
Tile personal relation between the whites
and the negroes in the SOUTH exceedingly
kindly. Harsh treatment and violence are
the comparatively are instances. The gen
eral rule of treatment affecting the millions
OF negroes in the South | s one OF Kindness
and deoHsiacrate pers9nalintereston the part
of the whites. The white people of the
South nevertheless do not disguise their as
sertion Of superiority as ace and their
UNIV wavering purpose to be the rulers or the
country both in the making and in the all
ministr alton OF tise laws.
The appointment OF negroes To office
necessarily initiates against this purpose
and encourages and gives opportunity for
violence oE the part or tile lawless eien:eiis
which is not approved by the great masses
Of the white people, who are law abidine
and opposed TO violence. While unalteT-
rf...srm
ority and of their rule, it lis their desire
and purpose to effect this. through peace
ful means and not through violence.
Left tn themselves this is easily accom-
plisbeti through the influence of he recug-
nized and indisputable superiority, mental
and neral, OF the white race. This even
temper and peaceful condition are rudeiy
disturbed by trusting the negro with
positions OF authority and command which
they could never attain among white people
through their unaided powers.
If the debts due by the Republican party
to the negro politician require their poIit-
ical recognition in appointments TO office,
such appointments should be made TO pf1-
sitions in communities whose people do not
object to the posts Of authority aud cora
mand among them being held by negroes.
Such communities and such people are not
found among the whites of the Southern
States.
The people of Georgia deeply re gret the
appointment OF negroes TO office by this
Administr alton. but they do not approve of
violence to such appointces, and instances
of such violence will he rare.
