! Mr. JATis Speech at Atlanta.
Mr. Dayi arrived at Atlanta, Ga, on
Saturday, the 27th ult. In the evening,
in response to the call of the crowd which
assembled in front of the Kimball House,
.where he was stopping, he spoke as fol
lows: r
I My Friends As I look out upon the
surrouBdmg crowd before me tonight,
swayed by the deep-felt and strong-hearted
impulses of enthusiasm and welcome, my
feelings are those of peculiar pleasure:
gratitude and pride; for I realize the fact
that this tribute is not offered to any
worth or merit of mv owm but is an ex
; pression of sentiment, upon the part of the
people of this State.; Georgia hds a noble
s and worthy record. You have been true
4 to your history and to yourselves since" the
old colonial time. The people of Georgia
. were true to their history and to them
selyes in. the old colonial struggle of 1776.
. ; . They were true to their history arid to
themselves when they adhered to the
principles of liberty and independence in
the war of 1812, and you, the descendants

ers roll from the mountains' to the sea, so
long as the waters riseirfrm: the sea and
flow backwards towards the mountains,
with these lines that we have just- heard
go sounding 'down 5 to future agea, and
children will rise op and imitate the vir
tues of their forefathers. : Applause. It
was for these great. principles that our
forefathers fought in the ' olden days. It
was these principles for! which Orglethorpe
contended, and since his illustrious day,
.until this hour, the record; of your proud
Commonwealth is without a stain. Ap
plause. ' There are many things which I
might say to you to-night, my friends, but
which I feel it would l l e imprudent for
me to utter. If I should speak to you ot
the past, I should speak of memories that
are sad.' If '! should speak to" you ot the
present, it would l-e to recount a tale of
tyranny ana wrong tnat we nave not tne
power to redres. and under which, there
fore, it is more manly and noble for us to
fold our arms and suffer with quiet and
patient dignity. It 1 speak of the luture,
then I am liable to be misrepresented,
and you held responsible for every- specu
lauon mat 1 may cnance 10 utier.
But, my fnends, as I stand here to night
and look upon your kindly, honest faces,
I, feel that there are a few plain words that
may be received by you as the expression
of my opinion - in regard to the luture.
Then, I say, I despair not cf your liberty ;
I despair not of the triumph ot liberty. I

that wrong cannot always endure. When
Galileo was bound to the torture rack tor
asserting his theory that the world was a
globe and turned upon its axis, and was
there forced to recant, as soon . as the
screws were relaxed he cried, out of the
deep ; and irresistible! convictions of bis
soul, "But still it moves." And so the
great truths uttered by your, fathers still
live, and the principles they enunciated
and for which they contended still move,
and will once more be felt, if you will but
be true to the right. Let no one say that
I counsel a recoyery and enjoyment of
these principles by the red hand of battle.
I trust that I may not be misrepresented
upon this point. I shall di6 in the hrm
belief that j . I .

THE ERA OF TRUE LIBERTY
will ere long dawn upon the South. If
they who carried the victorious banner,
and exulted in the strength ot their tri
umph, could have known, when you came
forward and said you had given up your
arms and were now ready to submit to the
laws of the land,' and could have under
stood bow true your word was, hoV high
were your principles of honor, it Would
not have been necessary "to J exact' harsh
pledges,' and 'to pass, oppressive laws to
bind you. ; Applause. . Force should
never have been exerted When the unim
peachable word of a Georgian wis pledged,
for the world cannot furnish bayonets
enough to make , a Georgian prove more
faithtul tb his obligations than his oath
could do. Applause. Peaceful, then,
you are desirous of being to-day; peace
fully yOu have been; peaceful you are ever.
When human patience has sometimes given
away, there are those who sometimes take
the law into their hands, because there is
no justice to be secured in any other way,;
but these are mere accidental occasions ;
There is no organization in the South-;
there never was whose purpose is resist
ance to the government. A. voice, That's
so." Though we are compelled to submit
to the presence of power, yet our manhood
and our self-respect can ,be preserved J
Peace is what we hope tor. . ' tf
. PEACE WE DESIRE, J
and peace we will have. I have nothing
to say to you to-night of politic, and; my
friends, 1 5 hope you have nothing to do
with them. You '.. have political . power,
and ; its exercise is? only postponed until
the coming of that event which I certainly
anticipate the restoration of your const!
tutional rights.; Applause. . Let'ustheriv
stand, still and .quietly await develop
ments. The men of the North, like your
selves, love their government, and under
stand their rights, and men of the North
have no idea of surrendering in their own
country those great .bulwarks of constitu
tional liberty the right of trial by jury,
the right to elect their own officers, and
the fight to determine their own internal
policy and as soon as their prejudices
and hatred against the South are removed,
and they see that by the unlawful action
of those in power toward the South, these
sacred rights of theirs are in danger of
being invaded, ;
THEY WILL BECOME YOUR ADJUNCTS, m
and you will hold the balance of power;
and in that hour your power will be great
and your success will be great. Ap
plause. I have said, and I here repeat
it, that I despair not of the restoration of
our liberties. ' They are riot ours' only;
they areequalW the liberties of the people
of the North and South, and when ,; they
at the North see, that laws are made for
their oppression, do you not believe that
the men who have descended from revo
lutionary sires will raise their voice against
them ? ' Do you not believe that ; when
they come to look calmly upon .the quesy
tion between the North and the South
they will forrii parties and platforms upon
which you can stand? And when that
hour comes then will come the fulfillment
of the promised era of constitutional
liberty which I po i confidently . anticipate
and hope for to-day. I may not live to
see it, but if lido not, I shall die con
fidently believing that it will ' come. I
know, my friends, that io this. I run
counter to the feelings tht are prevalent
in different portions of our country, but I
believe this is the r&e policy for the South
to pursue at present. .The South cannot
hasten the day of her deliverance by at
tempting to assume a leading part in the
politics ot the country to-day. Let her
people quietly and earnestly devote them
selves to the work of improving and build
ing up their material prosperity, leaving
those who have the power 'to settle these
questions among themselves, simply say
ing to fhem, "We know our rights know
they are in vaded, ? arid then wait patiently
until we see' tb em divided and at issue
with themselves, and then join , the party
and support the candidate and the plat
form that promises a restoration ot consti
tutional liberty. It is then that you will
hold i the "balance of political power in
your own liands; "and it is then that all
your rights will once more be restored and
guaranteed. ' Ap plause. . 1 j.' . - ; ' -
I HAVE SHAKEN HANDS ; WITH POLITICS. ; ;
I am now engaged upon matters of life
insurance. Laughter and applause.'. I
wouldTike to insure! all your lives for a
hundred years. Laughter and applause.
1 have, therefore, my friends, jery quietly
presented this opinion, which I entertain
upon the subject: that has been the duty
of former years, but not. of present years.
I know I can do you no good. I am not
engaged in public affairs, but I hope to do
you some eood by showing the world tnat
though I have 'retired from active public
service, yet it is my purpose to serve you
with head and heart and hand as long as
m -v ? m
I live. Your interest is mine not ma
mere abstract and : general sense, but in
that devoted care which I have for your
welfare and haDDiness. and the only re
ward I ask or. seek is that I may live to
see all your political rights restored,
and k the whole, r South prosperous,
independent and: happy. .'Applause.
Therefore, in what X have said I have
bnlv sDokeri of what X consider the best
policy for the people of the South, -under
the present circumstances, to pursue. Let
the people ' of the: North take care of
themselves. You went to war upon the
same question for which your ancestors
and theirs contended in the first revolu:
tion asrainst the Government of Great
Britain--the .right of ; commercial inde
pendence or State . sovereignty. : You se
cured it in that first warj and State soyer
eientv musti a&rain be reatored, or else the
republic of America is a failure. Despot
ism cannot be exercised under a repuoucan
form of government, - and, my friends, if
you can but wait, all will be welL If any
of us die before the day of peace and
liberty dawns, let us die in the faith that

it will come at last. The people of the
North will never, surrender their rights;
and when they see danger at home, then
they will need your aid and will come to
you, and then you will be crowned with
victory and triumphant success. Ap
plause. I am not of those " who accept
the situation." ' v - '
1 accept, nothing:;
These cant phrases that we bear so much
ot about "accepting the situation," and
about our rights having been 'submitted
to the "arbitrament of the sword," are but
the excuses of cowards. Applause. II
admit that power prevails over truth. , I
admit that power is so great that it would
be folly to resist it, and therefore I am . in
favor, myself, of being acquiescent and I
advise you to the same course, but ,1 do
not admit that our rights have ever been
submitted to the arbitrament of theswor.
Who has the power to submit your liber
ies to the arbitrament ot ; battle s You
never delegated that power to your 5 re
presentatives. I, as your .Executive, never
claimed it, and never, dying or living,
will I admit it. Applause, And then,
mv friends, about this much ; talked-of
subiect of "accepting ; the situation."
You are not called upon to acknowledge
that you have done wrong unless you feel
I DON'T BELIEVE I DID ANY WRONG,
arid therefore I don't acknowledge it. A11
that a government has a right to claim
from any of its subjects is, that they will
quietly submit to the law. Liberty of the
law is their inheritance, and submission
to the law. as long as it is such, is their
duty and their obligation, and it should
be their pride. Now, my frieuds, having
already said more than r intended, it only
remains for me to say how happy 1 am to
bee the evidences of prosperity that now
surround you. The first time that I saw
the place where your city now stands, it
was little more than a wilderness. When
I saw it again I looked : upon blackened
and deserted rums, upon the sad wrecs 01
noble . fortunes, upon: desolated hearth
stones, and upon a mined and ' stricken
people. Your city had been devastated
and laid waste by an act of vandalism
darker than aught that .ever disgraced
the lame of Turenne. But I look upon it
again to-day, and the traces of desolation
and destruction are no longer visible ; but
in their Stead magnificent structures rise
upon every hand, to mark the wonderful
advance of improvement, prosperity and
material , greatness. . I rejoice in " it.
It is but the beginning of the grand
era of prosperity that istyet to come,
and l reioice to see you going on building
your railroads, establishing your manu
factories, inaugurating new enterprises of
commercial profit, building up your town,
. ' xl'
improving yuur lauu auu. ucveiopiug me
material resources within your reach.
You will thus go on increasing . until you
become wealthy and powerful. ' I say J
rejoiee;, m- these evidences.; ot. assiduous,
earnest labor in things material, because
there is little in this that a foreign gov
ernment can interiere witn. Persevere in
this direction; wait quietly and patiently
until the tide turns as, sooner, or later,
turn it will and tbe day is not far distant
when the sun will shine upon you a free,
independent and sovereign State: Ap
plause. With these expressions, and with
this advice to you, I have i done. I feel
that I cannot fully express my gratitude

?A Neat Little Itemanee. - ;- "
The New Orleans Picayune tells the fol-
lowing story : A few evenings since, just
as justice jvans was leaving nis omce, ne .
was confronted by two , charming young
ladies, who requested a private interview.
r -i Lt j.i 1 i a . em 11. - ..
uonaucung tnem oacK into uisoipce, tne
bland magistrate asked in what way. he
could oblige them. "You are a Justice of
the Peace, are you not?" the oldest and by
far the prettiest of them inquired. "Yes,"
he said; "And can marry peopic-tnat
is, can marry a lady 9" Well, yes, if the
lady brings a bridegroom along with her '
-I am not a marrying man myself," re-
joined the trembling magistrate, fearing '
that his own freedom was involved in the
issue. "Oh, not at all," said the damsel, and :.
turning to her companion, exclaimed: "I -:
reckon' Willie, you can strip on those
toys." 1 No sooner said than done; the V
young lady's companion commenced to
tear off her dress with haste; i Inexpressi
bly shocked (for, the Judge is a very mod- ;
est man) he turned to escape trom the
room, When a second glance he could not
restrain revealed to him the fact that the,
supposed young lady in process of strip-s ;
ping off her female gear was not a girl but
a strapping boy, who had used the dis
guise to get his dulcinea in tbe presence
of a magistrate. Of course this explained
the situation, and without more ado the
Judge proceeded to join them in holy .
bonds "until death or the divorce courts r
should them sever." Li remuneration for
his trouble the bride gave him a smacking
kiss, and went on her way rejoicing. ' To
use the Judge's own expressive phraseo
logy, 'that kiss was beautiful." f
! , Tne Story of a Fox-
The Rev. Charles D. Not t, of St. Louis, '
sends to the New York Independent a story
suggested by the remark of Dr. McCosh,
that he had "doubts - whether the lower
animals can abstract, whether they can
generalize." 'A former pastor of mine," -
says Mr. Nott, "told me the following-;
When a boy, he had a fox, which, I regret
to say, bore the reputation of ! possessing I
far more brain than personal Diet v. This -
fox was kept in the yard in a sort of raised ,
denj nicely sodded over, and was confined
by a chain that allowed him quite a gene- -rous
circumference. One evening in the
fall, the farm wagon, returning ifcmvtheV
field with a load of corn, passed near the
den, and by chance dropped ' an ear
where the fox could reach it. ; He was
seen to spring out, seize the corn, and
carry it quickly back into the den. What
he wanted with it was a mystery, as corn
formed no part of the gentleman's diet. '
The next morning, however, tbe mystery
was solved, for the fox was observed; out
of his deri, and considerably within the 1
length of his chain, nibbling off some of
the corn and scattering it about in full :
view of the poultry, after which he took .
the remainder back into ,the den and '
awaited events. Sure enough the chickens '
came, and, while eating, out sprang the
fox, nabbed his man, and quietly took his
breakfast in the back parlor. Now it
seems to me that thisis pretty good "gen--eralizing."
The fox may not have rea
soned upon the . most sublime ( theme
imaginable. I regret to say he did not ;
and, for tharmatter, 7 neither does Colonel s -James
Fisk, Jr. i But if he didn't evolve
that chicken out of the depths of his own
consciousness, then thefe is no such thing
as logic, and .tn'cleV : - ,
