In a preceding column Of this paper, will
be found two letters from Mr.. Barbour, Ssc-
rotary at War; one addressed to Governor
Troup of Georgia, and the other to General
Gaines, relative to the Greek lands. IT will
be seen that the President, through the Sec
retary, has forbid the Governors entering
upon the lands for the purpose of making a
survey, before September, 1926, and au-
thorises Gen. Gaines, in case Gov. Iroup
should persist in his determination, to EN-
ploy the military against him. This business
has arrived at an awful crisis, through the
perverscness and obstinacy Of a hothcaded


demagogue; out he will find the executive
made OF stuff too stern to give way, or even
to be alarmed at his gasconading. Although


the Governor has declared that cost what


it may" he would effect his purpose, yet


when he views the firm position assumed


by the General Government, in opposition


to his designs, he will relinquish the attemp


and mantle himself with the comfortable re
Election, that it would be better to save th'
cost and let the arms alonc-he may thel


address his courtiers and parasites in Ian


guage little different from Canute's, "thu
far can SO but no farther, and here mus
my proud waves be stayed"

wisely determined to pursue.
