SOUTHERN FEELING on THE FOREIGN RELA-


NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. WITH THE NON


COMMITTAL NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. OF AN


ANGLO-sOUTHERN CONsPIRACY-ORDER AND


ARRANGEMENT OF THE CONVENTION.


lBY TELEGRAPH TO THE TRIBUNEI


PHILADELPHIA, June 6.-Some of the South
delegations, it is understood not at all pleased
with the manner in which the question OF our foreign
relations was disposed Of in the platform to-day. No
reference to the Treaty OF Washington was made it will
be remembered except very vague in the following
words Menaclng foreign difficulties have been
peacefully and honoraby composed and the honor and
power of the nation kept in high respect throughout the
world" EX-GOv. Parsons Of Alabama who represented
a considerable element in the Convention,
introduced, early during the session to-day, "A
set OF resolutions which, had they not been
hurried away TO the Committee Oh Resolutions,
without allowing debate upon them might have
interiered with the harmony of the Convention The
gist of these resolutions was, that while the United
States earnestly desires with all nations and
accomplish this great end is willing to make all proper
concessions TO the people and Government Of Great
Britain at the same time, in view Of existing circum-
stances, II i deemed proper to tell English cousins
that are as firmly resolved TO assert our rights
I776 and 1872 and that we will uphold our Government
with our lives, our fortunes and our sacred honor And
further, that the Trent affair was settled by the
prompt action OF our Government even before the act
complained Of was made known to Great Britain, We
commend this example TO favorable consideration with
respect TO the Alabama Claims which inust also be
settled by peaceabe means otherwise.


number of the Southern delegates have also been
greatly exercised over the present condition OF for
egn relations. They imagine that the late dsoyal peO
pie OF the South see In the event OF difficulty with
Great Britain an opportunity TO accomplish what they

Rebel leaders Of the South have been and stil are In
communication with agents OF the British Government
and should any difficulty between the two nations
arise Great Britain would supply to these dsoyal men
an unlimited number Of arms, and would nnd in them
powerful ally against the Government OF the
United States. The absurdity of this iaea
has been strongly urged upon these Southern
delegates by gentlemen Of the North to whom they
planned H. but Parsons and Others could net be con

The New York papers and other journals
are wondering much Of late over the un-
precedented prevalence of crime. They
seem to forget that the careful details OF
murder, robbery, swindling, arson, and so
forth, as given in their columns day by day,
have direct tendency upon the morbid
minds of the imaginative, the unbalanced,
the depraved, the drunken, to induce an
initiative repetition Of these acts. If a
journalist is so ignorant that he is not aW are
of this tendency, he has missed his voca-
ton He would 90 better for himself and
the public should he cease to be a writer
and become reader and student. But the
gentlemen OF the press cannot plead lgnor-
ance. Their minds so acute on other sub
ects, are not obtuse on this. They are
well aware of the power of words in type.
They know that the printing press possesses


''-thc art Napoleon


OF winning lettering, moulding, welding, bending


The hearts of millions till they move as one"


And with this knowledge they cannot hold
themselves entirely guitless while continu-
ing to publish daily all the vile details Of
the vIlest crimes.


The excuses made for these reproduce
tions of wicked scenes before the public
Imagination are entirely worthless and will
not bear an honest examination. The real
reason is that these publications bring in
money, and SO will anything that panders
to the depraved tastes Of mankind.
But if this evil principle is to prevail in
the press of the land, and the epidemic Of
crime continue sweeping off its ten thou
sands, there must yet come the cry Give
us liberty of the press that like other lib
erty, is regulated by law"

merely turned his bead in q lauguid sort
OF way, examined the fireworks, and
calmly Wjnked at the man. Then the
man thought perhaps the mule had for
gotten something and wanted to 90
back; so he turned him around, but the
mule expressed firm determination not
to go home. Then the man became DIES
rerate, and thought he would build e
fire under The mule, but as fast as he
could kindlc it the mule, standing on
three legs, reached over the other leg
and kicked out the fire. Then he tore
his hair and swore-the man did-and
he rushed to the wagon and got twelve
pounds OF powder, and he dug hole
under The mule and built mine. Then
he covered u2 the charge and laid u
slow match, and stood of little piece
and lit it. There WAS 3 rumtle, q roar,
then terrific explosion, and arid the
cloud Of dust and upAeaved rocks that
mule was observed to fling its legs into

quickly assumed its old attitude, and a
gentle smile passed over its features "a

The man went home and brought out
Two yoke Of oxen. He hitched them to
his mule and they pulled, but the mule
dug his boots into the prairie, and there
it stood as firm as Casssbianca on the

rious rage went and got three movable
steam eagines and chained them TO the
mule. Three two inch cables snapped
asunder and the mule still maintained
its defiant attitude

To-day will close one of the most remarkable
election campaigns that this country has ever wit
messed. Whether Greeley or Grant shall be cho-

the result will rejoice that the election is over.


The campaign has been more earnestly CONTEXT
Cd ON the part Of the Republican leaders than any
one We remember. They have expended immense
sums Of money and many hours OF labor. Nor
have the Democrats been idle. They have used
every effort they could to induce the people to en-
dor,e and sustain the present economical govern

and it is hoped that this will be found to have

Thomas Jefferson wrote the following
excellent advice. There is much hu-
man nature and good sense in it:


a''Harnony in the married state is the
first to be aimed at. Nothing can pre-
serve affections uninterrupted but
d1n resolution never to differ ia viii,
and a determination in each to consid.
er the love Of others of more value than
any object whatever Oh which a wish
had been fixed. How light, in fact, Is
the sacrifice of any other wish when
weighed against the affections of one
with whom we are to pass our whole
life! And though opposition in single
instance VIII hardly Of itself produce
alienation, yet every one has their
pouch into which all these oppositions
are put; while that is filling the aliens-
tiou is inseusibly going Oh, and when
filled it is complete. 1t would puzzle
either to say why, because no one differ
ence of opinion has been marked enough
TO produce a serious effect by itself. But
he finds mig affections wearied out by
constant dream Of little checks aad oh.
stacles.


Other sources Of discoutgnt, very COM
mon indeed, are the little cross purposes
of husband and wife, in common con.

persons are rendered unhappy by the

The eve" proud prerogatiye of editors and
kings, is not the anomalous superfuity that
it may seem to subscribers and subjects. We
will not, however, attempt the defense of the
royal ''we'', but will limit ourself to writing
up the duality of editorial existence.


In the office of the Atlanta, Weekly, we are
absolute monarch over reporters and eompos-
itors, and the occasional rebellions and insur-
rections of our beloved sub-editor are usually
readily suppressed. In the columns of the
Weekly are incorporated the opinions of
great political party: Ifthere were pronoun
plural-er than ''we'' it would be all too singu-
lar to express the collective multitudinOus
compendiosity of editorial personality. But
the editor at home is a very different thing.
From being the incarnate voice Of the people,
we become an individual, far from influential
and..rarely consulted as to domestic measures.
Sometimes our opinion is asked, as "a mere
formality; and we are careful to give advice
strictly in accordance with views already or
ganized. If we neglect this precaution we
find ourself in defeated minority and are
obliged to come round to the opinion of our
mother, which we do by easy stages so as to
preserve a semblance of originally and indie
pendence of correction. In the sanetum
there are at least a dozen of us-at home the
valueOf our identity is expressed by figure
far to the right of the decimal point.

steam boatmen. There was various
rumors about the ice in the Ohio and no
two of them were like any how we are
sure Of one .hIny and that i. that the ice
in the Ohiois pretty heavy. 1t made its
debut in heavy form during Sunday night
and all day Monday, it hoatei by in huge
fields, and joined with that out Of the
Mississippi at the mouth Of the Ohio, and
the two combined filed the Mi,siss ippi
from bank to bank. The ferrybost made
her regular trip during the day to Missouri
and Kentucky. The fall in the river is
very steady and it is about inches per
day and the prospects for rise is cer-
tainly out of the question. The Ohio
above here is falling and full of ice. The
channel from here to Louisville is rather
shallow and boats have to bring out
lighters.


The fall in the Mississippi continues
and every thing is blocked up with ice. .
No boats attempt TO go above here in
either river at present


There is little more than feet in the
channel Of the Mississippi and abou, 5
feet in the Ohio.
