Atlanta Constitution.

Atlanta Constitution.
1t is certainly very charming to
have the esteemed Boston Herald
notify us that the recent Democratic
State Convention Of Massachusetts
nominated for secretary of the COM
monwealth Hon. Ezekiel NJ. Ezekiel,
of Springfield, who is native South
erner and veteran OF the Confederate
army. Nothing is lacking to the fine
flavor of this news after the Herald
has added that ''in the North the war
is over" and is only to be considered
as closed event of our national his
tory.
Bay State and Boston Democrats
are a generous and brOad-gauged
contingent of fellow-citizens, and this
last manifestation of their spirit OF
amnesty and whole Americanism is
worthy of them and commanding
upon the gratitude OF their Southern
colleagues.
We recall that as long ago as eigh-
teen years Boston elected two South
ern Democrats, doing newspaper
| work on the Herald, we believe, as
| members of the board Of aldermen
of the Hub. One was Evan H. Nor
gan and the other Joseph Gomez,
| and both had gone thither from New
Orleans. So we cannot claim to be
entirely surprised at this latest i'm
partially of the Bay State Demo
| Gratis.
At the same time there are some
what equivalent cases on this side
the line. Although Andrew Johnson
was a Southern man, he was Union
man, but that did not prevent the
| Tennessee Democrats from electlng
him to the United States Senate after
his retirement from the Presidency
of the United States. And in Nir.
GINA Gilbert A. Walker, who was a
Northern man and soldier, was elect
ed by the Democrats to the govern
| orship of that commonwealth.
Wehave knownfora long time that
"the war is over" and are anxious
to believe the Herald that it over il
the North If it is, then-here's &
health to the man who ought to bt
the next secretary of Massachusetts
johnny Reb Ezekiel!

ORGANIZATION OF COUNTY
PHYSICIANS.
neeting Friday at Which the Vance
County Medical Society Was Organ
lied.
Communicated.

Communicated.
An important meeting of the physi-
clans of Vance county was held in the
court house last Friday This meeting
was for the purpose of organizing the
Vance County Medical Society.
Within the last three years a plan has
been proposed by which the medical pro-
fessiOn throughout the United States
might be more thoroughly organized and
its usefulness and influence might be
greatly and effectively increased. This
plan has been adopted very generally
throughout the United States and was
accepted by the North Carolina State
Medical Society at its last session.
BY the operation of this plan every
county in the State must be represented
at the State Medical Society by its County
Medical Society. In other words the
County Medical Society is made the unit
and the basis for admission to the State
Medical Society and through the State
Medical Society to the great National
Medical Society, viz the American Medi-
cal Association. No member of the med
ical profession can hereafter gain admit
lance to the State Medical Society except
he be a member of the County Medical
Society. These county societies must
each meet once month. In this way
the members of the profession will be
brought to better acquaintance with
each other. Medical matters of interest
will be brought before the Society and
discussed and thus it will be seen at a
glance that there will be greater solid
arity OF the medical profession and cor
responding increase of influence, friendly
intercourse and effectiveness.
To effect this organization the State
Medical Society divided the State into
certain districts and appointed Coun-
selor for each district whose duty is to
visit each county and organize in each
county county medical society
DR.. Herbert \. Register. of Raleigh. is
the Counselor appointed for the district
in which Vance county lies. In accord
ance with previous notice Dr. Register
met the physicians OF Vance county on
Friday last and assisted in the organiza-
ton of the county society.
The officers chosen We're:
President-Dr r. j. Gill
Notwithstanding F. r. Harris.
Secretary and Treasurer-Dr. g. 4.
Coggeshall.
Board of Censors-Drs j. H. Tucker,
c. G. Ferebee and VIM McAllister.
After a vote of thanks to DR.. Register
the meeting adjourned till the first Mon
day in December.

A WARNING

porter the other day to Mr.. W. W. Par

snd summer into winter. 1t is stated by
health authorities that such sudden
changes cannot help but result in early
fall colds, the grippe and other sickness
This condition of things is also bad for
old people, or those who are run down
or have tendency to any weakness or
disease
''You are right said Mr. Parker, 1.-The
weather indications all point to a cold ,
wet and generally unhealthy fall, and
people are warned to take extra precau-
tiOns to ward off sickness, especially the
old, and those who are already in delicate
health

this town face to face and tell them what
grand protection to health VinOl is, |

not have clerks enough in my store to fill
their orders. You see, we have been sell
ing Vinol for several years, and every bot
tie is sold on a positive guarantee that if
it does not do as we say, we will yay
back the money, and as we have not
been asked to refund for more than two
bottles out Of every hundred sold, this
proves that Einol is successful in ninety
eight cazes out OF every hundred.
Wenever sold a medicine that is so uni
versally successful; and yet this is not
strange, for Vinol is the only preparation
of cod liver oil which does not contain
oil, or any disagreeable feature, vet does
contain every one of the fifty odd medi-
cinal curatives that are found in cod liver

WINSTON'S PROSPECTS.

A special from Windsor to the Rail
eigh Post says this of Hon. Francis
ID. Winston's chances for the nomi-
nation Of Lieutenant Governor
Judge Winston's friends throughout
the State are putting him forward
and will urge his claims for that posi-
ton:
1t looks like Judge Francis ID. Win
ston will have little opposition for
the nomination of Lieutenant Gov
ernor. He has done hard work for
the party and will lend much dignity
to the office which his friends are
seeking for him. He is q man of won
derful enterprise, proud OF his State
and fully abreast of every progress
sive movement. North Carolina can
make no better selection.

in all states by the civil authority. The
Judge, therefore, in sentencing the
priest sentences him directly for CIV
il offense, and only indirectly for per-
forming the Offices of his church.
Could a Catholic judge plead that at
the bar of conscience, in justification
of his having, in fact, sentenced the
priests of his church to be hung,
drawn and quartered, for doing that
which by the law of God is no offense
but for them a right and a duty?"
"The judge holds under the civil
law, and his duty is to interpret it and
apply it faithfully to the case before
the court" rejoined O'FIannagan. eff
the law is unjust, the legislative, not
the judicial, authority is responsible"

as that" answered De Bonneville.
The judge is bound to take into con-
sideration the justice of the law, and
to interpret it in accordance with nat
ural right, so far as he can without
violence to the text. The reviewer
did not complain Of the chief justice
that he did not follow the Council of
Trent against the constitution, but
that he did not remember, in interpre-
ting the language, or more properly
the silence, of the constitution touch
ing negro citizenship, what his relig-
ion teaches him, and what as Cath
Ole he holds and must hold, namely,
that negroes are men, that all men are
equal before the law of nature, and,
therefore, as men, negroes and whites
stand on the same footing of equality,
the legal presumption then must be in
favor of equality, and therefore in IA
vor of negro citizenship. If negroes
are men, and all men are oquai as
men, then free negroes and whites are
equal as citizens, unless the contrary
is expressly ordained by the constitu-
ton. Free negroes, citizens of a par
ticular state, are citizens of the Unit
ed States, unless expressly excluded
by the text of the constitution itself.

great doctrine of the unity of the race
and the equality of all men before
