THE BACHELORS.
YOU’LL CATCH IT FOR THIS.
SVtt# Editor of The Chicago Tribune:
Chicago, Aug. 23.—1 notice in your paper this
morning quite a number of letters from the
young people on the subject of matrimony. This
question seems to agitato the younger portion
of our community, as I see that tho quiet shoot,
the Inler-Occan, contains quite a number of
these effusions from young aud probably inex
perienced enthusiasts. 1 trust you will permit
me to gtvo expression to my ideas on this sub
ject in your valuable paper.
• The average young man of this city is op
posed to marriage for many reasons, and thoao
reasons I shall try and give as plainly as possi
ble, so that I may not bo understood as giving
false opinions on tho subject.
{ Of coarse the principal and all-absorbing rea
son is “money. 1 ’ This enters into tho question
at the very outset, as no yonng man of common
sense will think of marriage without, in Romo
war. counting the cost of this expensive luxury.
t The modern young man looks at society
around him, and what does ho see? Young
girls dressed to death, painted, frizzed, and fur
belowod, and their weak forms strained, laced,
and conlortionod out of all shape 5 extravagant
to tho last degree; dancing, (lilting, eating late
suppers, keeping late bourn, and waking In (lie
morning with their health all broken down,
Then dawdling atout the (iouho till evening
again, and then another round tho same as be
fore. Now, are lh"se girls (it for wives and
mothers? No! Enipuaticallv, No! This is
wbat tho yonng man sees around him.
Now these girU aro well onouch to talk to for
a moment, but not to marrv. They require too
much capital for a good mvofllraout, and a young
man is not going to drop throe otvfour pegs in
society because be can’t support his wifo in the
one ho moves in. No. Hotter remain single,
and wait till ho can support a wife in tho same
society from which ho takes her. This is tho
first reason —“Financial.”
The second reason in that tho modem young
girl is so much of a butterfly that our young men
would not trust thembdves to marry tnoin. They
might succeed in winning ouo of them, hat they
cannot depend ou them, thov are so tickle. They
tnuat continue in that wliitl of society to which
they aro so used, and this causes continual wor
rimout on tho part of tho young man, and after
a short time broods infelicity in me homo of tho
young couple.
Tne third reason is tho health of tho modern
belle. She continues tho dissipation of tho day
to such a length that when she comes to marry
she is oil broken down, and is uuatilo to boar tho
troubles of motherhood, aud requires constant
attendance of a famliv physician ; and thus on
tailing a very seveio expense 00 tho young man
of to-day; and they (tho belies of tho day,) are
outirely adverse to the promulgation of the race,
as it would not allow of their tree movements in
the fashionable centre, and would hamper them
greatly.
Tho fourth reason is tboir entire inability to
keep house, they having spent tboir time iu
dawdling about their homos, not learning or
canog to loam anything about tho homo gov
ernment; and when ttioy como to bo a young
wife they are wholly unlit to manage a bouse,
end thus aro unfit to be a young mau’s wife.
They know nothing about a kitchen, and have
to leave its entire management to some hired
help, thus allowing much waste. They know
absolutely nothing about economy,. and tho
young man is out of pocket.
These, Mr. Editor, aro a fow of tho reasons
why a young mtur cannot marry, aud why the
nombor of young bachelors is constantly In
creasing. These are “ “tubborn facts,” and so
tho young men of to-day retire to their own
amusements, leaving matrimony to novices who
do not study the philosophy of the thing.

OO WEST, YOUNG MEN.
To the Editor of The Chicago Tribune
Chicago, Aug. SO.—To roe, a young (?) man of
34, the letters ou tbo raaniogo question have
been full of interest. May 1 offer a suggestion?
1 think oqo roasoo of tbo inability of so many
young men to tsko on themselves tbo burden of
a married life (if it is really a burden, ta bo many
seem to tbink) Is because they are unwilling to
live outside our {peat cities where all kinds of
business and professions ore overcrowded. If
they wore willing to go out and build up homes
in tbo beautiful country, we would bear teas of
tbelr Inability to support themselves in a mar
ried state. Tbo truth is there are too many kid
gloved young men who would rather starve gen
teelly than go to work and earn a respectable
position In society. Energy begets destiny, and
a lack of energy is wbat Is ailing all those young
meuwbo claim they are unable to marry on ac
count of the “exttsvagsuco" of tbo young ladies.
Yon cannot get something out of nothing, and
the reason of small salaries and consequent in
ability to boar the expense of married life is that
everybody wants to live In the city, where there
is a limit to the number of clerks and profession*
al men required, and all surplus gluts tbo mar
ket, cheapens labor, enforces celibacy, and pro
motes Idleness, vloe. and crime. “ All quit their
spheres and rush into ” (be cities. 1 have known
of persons in my own circle of acquaintances who
have lott beautiful homes in the country tor a
little oooped-up place, with a dirty backward. In
the city,—compelled to use swill milk, willed
vegetables, etc., all because it is tbe stvle nowa
days to look down ou country life. Sow, I do
not say that farmois, as a rule, have as pleasant
snrroumllngs as wealthy psonlo in the city, but
the average farmer can do far more comfortably
and pleasantly situated than tbo average class
in the city, while there are many things
common to country people that even
tbe wealthy In the cities do not and cannot have,
as spacious yards aud gardens, pure air. beautiful
scenery, etc. 1 speak of this matter because it
has not been touched ou before, ami because I
thluk it bas a strong bearing on tbo eubleot.
Celibacy is much less common In the country
than In tbe largo cities. I would like to one a
general exodus of all able-bodied young men
wbo are banging on to their bosses' coat-tails,
working ou half salaries, aud living in genteel
poverty, to tbo fertile West that is waiting to
vield her generous stores to tbo husbandman.
And I would like to see tbe young women who
are earning a meagre living as clerks and sew
ing-pirle go along with them as their wives, aud
in a few years they would grow up into Inde
pendent circumstances, surrounded bv more of
tbe comforts aud luxuries of bfo than they could
ever expect to attain here.
Having passed nearly all mv life in large towns
aod cities, I have become disgusted with their
tilth, aud poverty, and crime, and have estab
lished for myself a beautiful country borne,
which lacks yet one thing of being a perfect
homo, and that U a cheerful, intelligent, loving
wife.
But bow many aro there of oar educated city
girl* wbo would bo willing to loavo tba oily, wild
it* theatre*, opera*, and ball*, and settle down
to a quiet country life,—be a farmer's wife, in
short, even if that farmer should ohanoa to be
aa educated, intelligent gentleman, capable of
appreciating the beautiful in art and nature, re
gardless of thedoilate and cents involved, and
tne good and beautiful iu woman, without re
gard to the emount of bard labor she may be
able to perform?
There may be some,—l fear not many. But I
would not Judge thorn harshly, preferring Hrat
to hear from some of our city girls on tbia point.

A GRANGER'S VIEWS,
Jotkt Editor of Tht Chicago ftftuns.
UILTOM Jcxotiom, Wi*., Aug. 30.—1 n your
letters on tbe subjeot of matrimony 1 see most
of them treat of Us aspect in the larger towns.
Bat it i« not in tbe oltiee that this aversion to
marriage is producing its worst results. Tbe
farming community especially suffers from its
bsueful effects. Among a large portion of our
farmers it is not considered proper for the
daughters to become skilled in household mat
ters. aud while the glrla spend thsir time in
reading fashion papers, contriving bow they
may Imitate the latest style. Induce pspa to fur
nish more mousy, and In hammering ths piano,
ths boy* are taught that they must give no
thought to diets, and tbs money which should
•Mbs ibsm rsspeeUbly is devoted to ths adorn*
roont of the girle. The girls aro taught that to
catch a husband Is tho ultimate aim of woman.
When sho arrives at a marriageable ago tho girl
looks with disdain upon tho boy, whom she re
gards as beneath her, though ho may bo fully
equal to the brothers reared m tho same family
with her. Her Ideal in some gay fop from tho
citv, with (laming necktlo and brass rings.
•* Would von have mo marry a farmer ?" site
pats. “(X horrors! it is bad enough to bo a
farmer’s daughter.” Now, there la no avocation
In which a man can engage where woman's help
is more essential than tilling tho soil, nor le
there any business which stands more in need of
intelligent, cultured men. There are many
young men of culture who do not look upon
'farming with aversion ; but who know that to
bo successful in that pursuit they must have a
wife competent to preside over iholr household
affairs : not one whoso resources will bo ex*
haunted in throe days, and if tho hired girt
delays hor visit beyond a week will liavn to go to
K’s to stay. To tho young man who intends
rtn It, la presented tho alternative either to
marry a wife, place her among the parlor furni
ture to entertain company, theu hire a camless
servant aa housekeeper, or mairy a servant and
do without a companion s to unite himself to one
below him in station and capacity.
Is it any wonder tho boys leave the farms and
engage in occupations in which they can remain
single ? I believe tills is one of tho potent causes
which drives voting men into tho cities, there to
work and struggle 10 maintain respectability
without being able to save anything ; when on a
farm, with the hiuuo amount of brain-labor,
their efforts would bo crowned with success. If
out of this dit'ciiesiun that has arisen, the public
can bo brought to see the evils of the present
system of training girls, much good will result.
' Wo want not angola, but women, for our wives,
(hose who will old ns in tho struggle of life, who
have capacity for improvement, and will bo to
us an inspiration.—who aro willing to begin at
the foot of tho ladder and side by side to attain
to places of trust and intluouco. Ohanoer.
VIEWS OF A COMMERCIAL TOURIST.
To the Editor of The (.'Memo Tribune.
Davenport, la.. Sept. 2.—Noticing tho dis
cussion on matrimony of last Saturday, which
was so freely indulged in by the boys and girls
through your columns, I look particular inter
est in tho communication written over the sig
nature of tho lady who signed horeclf “Mar
guerite.” Every man of common sense and pos
sessing any honesty whatever must acknowledge
her letter to ho n very ablo and truthful plea for
tho cirls; and I for one. as a boy. must ack
nowledge every word of hor statement to bo
true In nino cases out of ton. It strikes the boys
Just whore they live, ami accuses them of scan
dalous facts which they cannot douy. A young
man drawing a salary of S3OO nr SI,OOO a year
claims bo canuot support himsfclf and a wife on
that amount, and he draws his conclusion from
tho fact that ho tins hcon getting that samo sal
ary for some time, and has never boon able to
eavo anything to speak of. though ha has had
no ouo to provide for but himself. Now, tho
probability is that that young mau spends half
Ins salary for billiards, drinks, and other
amusements, some or which most likclv would
reflect 00 credit on a man that has much respoot
for himself 5 aud tho youth might oftcu ho
fouud iu compauy of people in voriain places
which if seen by his friends ho might be caused
to blush. Now then, if tho young man means
that ho canuot support a small family on sl,i)Uo
and keep up his hfo of dissipation. 1 agroo with
him. Hat if he will got married to some sen
sible voting girl, and give up his life of dissipa
tion for tba true love and affection’of an honest
woman, he will find that ho can savo at least
ouo-half of hla salary whore ho saved nothing
before.
into, there aro many women who would make
a salary of SI,OOO or SI,&UO look sick in a re
markably abort time, and raauy a woman baa
blighted and nunod the bricht future of an in
dulgent husband through her extravagance; but
women, like men, aro not all alike, and 1 fuel
justified in saying that where one man has made
a mtßtake in getting married, ton have bettered
themselves. It must be remembered that simply
getting married doounot relieve a man. or woman
either, of all further care, but rather Impose*
additional cares on them both. Tuoy cannot af
ford to ait down and wait for tbo band of nroa
perity to provide for them, for if they go to
work that way they aro very likely to live on unow
balls tuo following winter, and bo bo light iu the
spring as to necessitate carrying round brick
bats in their pockets to hold them on the
ground, or sumo windy day they might tloat off
liko a balloon, lint lot them go to work to
gether to win. Let tho husband earn money,
and lot bis wife save it for him. Two beads aro
belter than one. Lot them both try to mike
each othoi happy, and there la no danger but
they will succeed.
In tho communication signed "Tho Lonely
Six," a gentleman says ho cannot afford to get
married on $2,000 a year income. A man
ought to bo ashamed to make such a statement.
1 would liko voiy much to have a Photograph of
those six little lonely follows; yet I have an Idea
how they look. I think they must have very
low foreheads, part their hair and name in tho
middle, aud wont' No. 3 corsets. Two thousand
dollars a year for a railroad conductor or an
Alderman's family might bo too small, but a man
of tho middle class that cannot support his
family uu $2,000 a year never ought to tell it.
The niO't respectable as wolf as responsible
and prominent business men of Chicago to-day,
I venture to say. got married when their income
did not exceed SI,OOO a year. Abraham Lin
coln, Andrew Johnson, and the majority of our
country's brightest, noblest, and most promi
nent men. cot married when their income did not
exceed SI,OOO a year.
Another thing, young men should respect
girls that dosorvo respect, regardless of the
amount of money their parents happen to pos
sess. A girl that supports herself, and lives a
life that defies reproach, deserves respect from
every one, lor a man need not bo ashamed to
meet and speak to her am place.

MORE REFRESHING THAN BEECHER TRIALS

AN OPINION,
To the Eilitor of Tht Chicago ?W6uru;
Cmcaoo, Aug. 80.—I am glad to see the
matrimonial subject still open for further dis
cussion, and I hope you will And room In your
excellent paper for a few lines from one who is
not ashamed to own that be Is a friend of the
ladles. The principal objection to marrjlug on
the pari of ths young men appear to be the fesr
of their not being able to support a wife. Thai
is the way they express it i but when I hoar a
man talk that way, 1 always think he would Lavs
comsiiaaief tailing the truth if be had said, "I
don't marry because I am 100 lasy io work,"
THE CHICAGO TRIBUNE: SATURDAY. Slil’TKMßlStt
They very nearly all say they would marry pro
vided they could ibid sotuo young lauv loaded
with money, as In tho case of “The I,oim'y Six.”
They say if any of them should happen to
meet with a young lady of refinement, etc.,
ho would marrv her only la caso her
parents would ho willing (o give her
or him an amount of money which would enable
him to establish himself In business. To them
and all such no would say, they don’t deserve >1
wife 5 it is inniiov they want to marry, not a
wife. Thov are 100 luzy to make a good hus
band even If they had million#; of mousy, and I
pity the lady who may ho so unfortunate as to
got one of this kind.
As far as tho blame for not marrying is con
cerned. I think it rests os much upon one sex as
(lie other. They aro noth to blame—tho young
men for allowing themselves to got into tho hab
it of spending their money in saloons, for to
bacco. plaving billiards, and other habits which
they call pleasures, but which looks to mo like
downright nonsense. Then there Is another
class who say they are not ablo to support a
wife—ouo way of saying I am too lazy to work,
or, if I could got plenty of monov without hav
ing to work for it, I would got marnoJ. There
aro also several classes among tho gentler sox
who aro at fault. Homo aro 100 extravagant:
soma too proud; a great many can place their
Btfectluns only on wealth, line dross and enjoy
ment. Ignorant of everything the duties of hfo
require.
1 am now making $1)00 a year, expect my sal
ary to bo increased as I grow in experience; am
vet young, but when tho time comes for mo to
matry. 1 intend to hunt a young lady with good
common sense, one that 1 can love and at tho
sumo time fuel that niv love is reciprocated, it
matters not whether she bo worth thousands or
has but one calico dross, —if she bos a pretty
face, a good heart, and good common sense, she
la tho girl lor mo. Will W. Wilcox
ST. LOUIS HEARD FROM.
To the K(ht>>r of The cVi»Vc<;« Tribune;
Sr. Loom, Mo.. Sept. I.—“To bo or not to
be.” whether it is bettor that two young hearts
should beat as ouo, or that each should “thump”
single all its natural days, that is tho question.
The discussion waxes warm, and, white many
apparently aro In for “Jliion"' on, about the
same number prefer to remain “bach” and
“ maid ”; but the reasons for tho latter acting as
they do, I know from hitter experience, is not in
accordance with their thoughts. Ik is very ap
parent, tho question of “specie” or “rag” has
the offoct of matring the pleasure of tho roajor
itv of these baches, who would only live single.
Those who, in the generality of cases published,
don't wish to marry, aro tho very persons who
lay around, using tho vulgar expression, for
“soft snaps”; that is to say, for a mate who is
amply capable of euslaiuiug two. Any young
follow knows it is folly to talk of marrying on a
S4O salary, whilo tho girl who can llud none
hut such as draw that amount monthly will
rather sav, “I’ll not got married.” Hut
await till tho boy comes along with
tho “stamps.” one that can buy rings
and (ino clothes, a very radical change will soon
bo perceptible iu the young Miss who but a
brief tune since would nut marry. My young
friends, donut “ sail under false colors.” do not
play the hypocritb. or personate “tho wolf in
sheep’s clothing.” for it is far hotter you would
acknowledge the truth, and and an idol for your
heart, than bo tho false, aud create a bad impres
sion upon he who would bo your idol by your
actions previous to hla coming, which he will
certainly learn. The lad or lass who is change
able os the weather can haidty be relied upon.
My sentiments aro those: Marry young, if
possible, and bv all means marry. Do not pino
and worry because you cannot find tho one xou
would have, but koop up your young spirit, re
tain your youthful looks, aud your day will come.
For my part. I'll pursue this course. Whoa I
marry, I'U “have a bouse wheroiu to tuny.”
To bo sure, many young girls and men. in mauv
cases, marrv below their station, marry wretched,
live in trouble all tboir days, and finally dio
brokon-boartod. This malady can ho laid at the
door of the parents. Y'uuug girls must have the
“puli-book. Jewelry, attend dancing-school, and
parties.—all because parents ore ignorant and
fund of v&ln show. Private D—k.
AN ANXIOUS INQUIRER-
To the Editor df The Chicaao Tribune.
Sidney, 111.. Aug. 80. —Your article in last
Wednesday's Tribune bos raised in my mind
those inquiries: Has a yonng man of high as
pirations, but of moderate njoans, tho right to
enter this “ double blessedness,” with its cares,
troubles, and perplexities; or is he not destined
to live as ho is—single? Can bo afford to get
matriod? lam a yonng disciple of 21 ripened
autumns, live on a faim, whore wants and social
qualities are medium, living perhaps on the out
skirts of ladies’ society, with an occasional min
gling iu.
Can I, ah I can I e’er know repose
on becoming a Benedict, on account of its ex
penses ? Does a man’s small fortune invested in
one of those wonderful “pin-backs," with tbo
“inner responsibility," pay? You may smile,
and perhaps grin rather broadly, If married, as
you compare your former anxieties with my lro|>-
idaliois; but they ore not mine alone. They
belong to every young man who is having his
row to hoe at the present time.
I should liko to hoar from tbo “other side.”
Also, tbs married folk, amt lastly you, Mr. Edi

YOUTH AND SCIENCE.
M Quad relates this: Tho other day a Detroit
father puttihasod a microscope for liia son, a boy
of 10, patted the lad on tbo shoulder, and said
to him:
" Aty son, take this microscope, and go out and
study the bounties of nature."
Tbo boy loft all other nmutomenls for that, and
bo look such groat interest, and improved so
rapidly, that at the tca-toblo, to which several
visitors sal down with tho family, bo felt that ho
must make some remarks. Turning to one of
tbo ladies bo inquired :
•• Did you over look at cheese through a micro
scope?"
“ 1 don’t think 1 over did," she pleasantly re
plied.
"Well, you just ought to see tbo things
crawl——”
"Johnl John!" exclaimed the father, shaking
bis bead at the bov across tbo tabic.
John subsided for a miuuto or two. and when
bis mother passed tbo choose around, everybody
said, “Tljarikyou.no." Pretty soon tbo young
student, doshing to molify bis father, asked:
“ Fattier, did you over look at a toad through
a microscope?"
“ I will talk with you after supper," replied
tbo parent, scowling at tho boy.
John wan rather disappointed at his failure to
arouse enthusiasm, amt Just as tho strawberries
were beiug passed around ho remarked :
•• Well, you just ought to look at a strawberry
onco through tbo microscope I They Just look
hko watts, they do, and you think you see bugs

“ Jawn !’’ said his mother.

“Well, they look wors’u flies’ beads!” pro

“ Boy 1” said tbo father, making a motion
for John to leave tbo table.
jobu loft, and as soon aa it wasconveniontfor
him to do so tbo father escorted tho lad to tbo

around, and said :
“ My son, gimme that microscope, and you

If that boy continues to feel the way bo docs

SHEARMAN'S KISSING STORY.
“ Hurlcigb,” in (ho Boston Journal, gives bis
experience of pastoral osculation as compared
with that of Tommy Shearman. Uo says:
“ Quito an cscitomeut has boon produced in
Brooklyn by tbo report of Counselor Shearman’s
speech In London on kissing. At flrst;*tbo re
port was discredited. It is probable that Mr.
Shearman will bear of .the matter when bo gets
homo. After a residence of many years in this
city and an acquaintance with the ministry with
in a circuit of CO miles, I never beard of
an instance whore kissing was considered
a part of pastoral duty or pastoral priv
ilege, or whore it would bo ever toler
ated. except in two instances. One of these was
a Brooklyn pastor. Ho was accustomed to wel
come the ladies of his parish with a kiss, olttior
with or without tbo presence of their husbands.
110 dismissed bis company with a salute after
tbo manner of ladies. This became so noted
that I talked personally with thi* pastor on tho
subjocL Ho admitted tbo custom, defended it.
and I suppose practices It to this day. He was
rather a festive pastor, fond of gav life, very
social, and a groat favorite with tbo young. Ho
was tried before tbo church authorities for
drinking ales and wines at the puhliorestauraats.
I(o escaped censure, for tbo cbnrcb amboiltioa
decided that there was uo barm m it.
“ Tbo other case came out in this wise: In 000
of tbo chinches was a family consisting of fath
er. mother, and two daughters. Tbo daughters
were 16 ami 17. but very largo of their ago. This
family did tbo singing for the church. It was
customary to send one of the girls around to tbo
parsonage on .Saturday for tho hymns. One Sat
urday both of the girls declined to go after tho
hymns. 1 1 don't wish to go,’ eald tbo older
very decidedly. 'What has got into you,
child ?’ said the mother. * I don't wish to go,
and £ bad rather not tell.’ Being pressed she
said: '1 don't think tbo pastor moans any
harm,—bo thinks I am still a little girl; but be
kieses mo when bo gives mo tbo hymns, and
I don’t like it.’
“‘Besides these two cases I never hoard of any
such custom &a Mr. Shearman describes."
QEN. SPINNER’S HOME.
Everybody who has tried to decipher Qou.
Spinner’s treasury-note autograph will read
about his home with interest. Tho Utica Ob
server tolls of it thus : 41 Qon. Spinner's resi
dence is situated on tho main street iu tho Vil
lage of Mobawk, and stands about 10 rods back
from the street, enshrouded iu trees. It is a
plain brick structure, ami bos served him and his
family for a homo for an Indefinite number of
years. In tho rear of tbe parlor there has been
fitted up a room which Is tho ex-Treasurer’s es
pecial pride. It contains his collection iu geolo
gy and conchology, and is one of the largest, if
not the largest, collections of tho kind in tho
State. It was collected entitely by himself, bo
having profited very little in bis collections by the
system of exchanges. Tbe collection has been
arranged and numbered by the General, in tho
intervals of rost from bis public duties, and bo
expresses a genuine Jov at being oblo to get
back to it again. He trusts that nothing will In
tervene between him and quiet and happiness
which be is suro to find in bis homo ana those
treasures. And surely, if there is any man in
tbe United States who has earned tho light to
such a retirement, it is Qon. Spinner. In his
fourteen years’ service as Treasurer, his mind
has never ouco been relieved from the
strain which tbe guardianship of tbo na
tional mono? put upon it. *• I am now go
ing to loam to be idle," bo said, describing
tho life that he saw before him. And his right
to bo idle, no roan in this, country, who knows
aagbt of his great service, will over question.
Whether tho ox-Treasurer will succeed in being
idle, is another matter entirely. Ho will certain
ly shrink from no public duly which is plain be
fore him. While wo express no opinion here as
to hla financial views, wo are sure that they ore
earnest convictions on his part, and that they are
convictiona that have not been lightly formed.
We may venture tbe conjecture that if they
mould ever come to form tuo basis of a consid
erable movement in this country, ex-Tieasuror
Spinner will not see them fail of success, with
out first raising his voice in public dofeuso of
them."

IN A CAR WITH A TIGER.
A recent incident on the Ogdonsburg Iload is
thus described by tbo St. Albans (Vermont)
Messenger of tbo 7tb hist.: A cage of tigers,
which was on its way to ft menagerie now ex
hibiting south of hero, was placed in one
end of tho car, and a zebra was tied in tbo other
end. Tbo watchman lay down on a box and fell
asleep : when be awoke bo discovered that one
of the tigers had bent the iron bars of its cage,
forced Us way out, and waq crouching in the
opposite corner. Tbo regular keener of the an
imals was in the sleeping-car at tbo roar end of
the train, aud tboro was no chance to

outside. Tho poor watchman was
frightened into a motionless silence,
ami in that awful suspense be made the long and
weary journey to tit. Albans. After tho tram

of the opening, aud not knowing that any one’s

A DEFENSE OF THE GRANGE.
Totht Editor of Tht Chicnao Trihun*

the writer baa taken pains to compliment the
fairness exercised by Tub Tuzbcnb in publishing
both sides of this question, it is not necessary

“ A. T. J.,’’ with a specious showing of cau

Now, experience demonstrates thet secret so

each as are open to the world, to be scrutinized
and imposed upon by lad characters. Great
Generals keep their secrets} Congress holds its
secret sessions, and lastly, families have their
til-bits of news that never go out to the world,
and that secrecy renders all tbs more
t>acred. Tho General conceals his plaue,
aud Congress its deliberations, because
the safety of the Interests in
volved demands that aeoresy be observed. Fsm
illes, too, have their secrete thet ere not told

THE GEORGIA “ INSURRECTION.”
Judge Johnson’** Charge— A, Talk with
Uov. Sin li It.
jvdop. Johnson's chahoe.
.ifie York Tribune.
Handeesvilm!, OOa f Aug. 30. —Judge Hcr
ecliol V. Johnson opened a spcciaUerm of the
court hero to-day for tho trial of tbo negroes
who havo boou arrested aud accused of
attempting to excite an ioaurroolion. Tbo
titato wae represented by Attomoy-Gou
eral Hammond. Sir. Ackerman, ox-Attorney-
Gonoral of tbo United States, will arrive
ou Wednesday to defend seme of the prisoners.
In bis charge to tbe Grand Jury, Judge Johnson
dwelt at considerable length on tbe spirit and
temper in which they should conduct their in
vestigations, Ho directed their attention to the
language of the oath they had taken, and said:
" This language addresses your moral souse ami
binds your conscience to the throne of eternal
justice, while by it-you call upon the Huprerao
Being to witness the solemn obligation into
which you havo entered. Then, the spirit
that should animate you is that of strict
impartiality and fearlessness," llofotring to
the impossibility of contemplating with com
placency a plot for the wholesale, indiscrimi
nate and secret murder of one race by a nart of
the other race, and the difficulty of suppressing
a reeling of vindictive revenge, ho continued :
"Cut you and I are hero iu a judicial capacity,
to administer justice according to law. and uot
according to human passions. Wo are sworn
to expel from our bosoms every feeling of
malice, or . hatred, or revenge. Wo are
sworn to bo guided by the light of truth, and
to enforce the law just as it is." He impressed
upon the minds of the Jury the fact that
the law knows no difference between white
men and black men, and added: "Then, gentle*
men, ignore the fact that the accused are ne
groes. Ignore the fact that thev wore over
slaves. Coal with them as free, and os if thev
wore white, and award to them their full legal
right to your impartiality.” Tho Judge coun
seled the jury not to bo iutluenced iu their ac
tions by tbe fact that there are some men in this
and In every community who, in tiroes like this,
favor extreme measures aud summary punish
ment, nor to bo nitUiencod by tho unjust cilti
cisms of those at a distance, who know nothing
of tno circumstances, or who impute this whole
grave affair to a desire on tho part of
the whites to bare a pretext for an in
discriminate slaughter of tbo blacks. "This
imputation," ho said, "is contradicted bv tho
fact that no violence has been perpetrated
against the blacks." lie said bo did not refer to
it to rofuto it, but to admonish them not to be
iullaoDcod by it. Tho spirit of tbe charge is
almost universally approved by tho people.

Atlanta ((/ft.) Constitution.
A Constilution reporter youlerday called at the
Executive olUca id the Capitol, aud, lloiliup the
Governor wltti a little leisure, had a (tenoral con*
voisutiou with him regarding tlio results of hie
recent trip to Middle Georgia, whore the late In*
Biureotiou waa threatened.
Oov. Umith Bald: I have no donbt of the oxUt
cnco of the plot to attempt all the atrocities
which have boon published as the objects of its
leaders, though 1 doubt if very many of those
engaged in the movement know and fully under
stood the nature and extent of the work con
templated by those who wore loading them. I
believe there were only a limited number who
were posted on all the points and roallv joined
in the movement with the Ideas of murder, mas
sacre. and rapine Id their minds. But the others
had contldenco in their loaders, and wore
following them blindly into the work. It
la entirely suppressed now, however,
and no apprehensions of trouble
need bo felt upon any point. And I don’t know
that there has boon any immediate danger of a
very pronounced typo, as tbo time set for the
work had not arrived wheu the plot was discov
ered and the anost of the leaders begun. The
gathering of numbers of the negroes .together
miring the excitement Ido not attribute to any
disposition to engage in violence, but rather to
their deslio to know what to do and whore to go
and hide away from the civil authoiltlos. A
good many of them got together and took to
tbo swamps In Burko County for this latter pur
pose.
lleporlor— How did you find tho disposition of
tho people towards tho negroes ?
Oov. Hmttb*—'There has boeu oil along. I
think, a universal feeling against doing violence
to any ono of them. Tho negroes oro thorough
ly satisfied of this themselves. I spoke to thorn
of tho folly and wrong of such movements, and
they scorned fully satisfied that this was one of
the greatest misfortunes that could have befallen
them. Tho report of a collision between auy
portion of the whites and blacks was certainly a
mistake, as 1 board nothing down there of any
such thing, bo far as 1 could loam, there was
only ono peraou hurt daring the time, and that
was a negro reported killed, at Station No. 0% on
the Central Hoad, Whou I passed there Sunday
morning they woro about to bold aa inquest
upon lu# body. Tho man's name was Scott, I
believe, and ho was reported to bo friendly to
tbo white people and to nave bod uothlug to do
with this plot. Tbo general supposition among
both whites and blacks in tho neighborhood was,
that be had been killed by bis own people be
cause be would not join them in their plot, and
was supposed to have given information of their
designs. No other cause could bo assigned for
his killing. I told tho pooplo 1 would offer a
reward (and have just now done so) of s6<)o for
the apprehension of the perpetratois of tho
crime. lam satisfied It was a bad piece of work
—a wholly unnecessary murder.
“ One good effect," said tbeGovornor, "which
tho people oxpuct to flow from this matter is a
lesson to the negroes that thev cannot success
fully originate and carry out these plots, Tho
people do not fear any more trouble of this
character, and from the unparalleled forbear
ance and law-abiding disposition exhibited upon
this occasion, 1 have no fears of iusurroo
tious and lawlessness in Georgia. All
this trouble originated among tbo preachers,
who have a control over their fellow-negroes
which is wonderful, aud which they maintain by
all such devices as those military parades, mass
meotings. etc. They livo off of their poor
dupes, and will do anything to keep in power
ana in the pocket-books of tbe trusting, ig
norant people of their race. I think, from per
sonal observation among them, that four-fifths
of tbe negroes down in tbe excited region, if
they had tbe leaders who duped them in their
bands, would wreak a terrible vengeance upon
them. 1 heard mauyaach hostile expressions
