He is “doing” tho nation generally. Tho Saratoga Sun attempts to toll “why Grant has become unpopular.” If it would only tell quo thing ho has cror dono to make him popular, tho public might fool onough interested to read. Tho New York 7WJ»«easks: “Ari wo a Christian peoplo?" Prom tho facili ty with whiohyou say “d—n it,” it is not prosumed yon are a Christian to any con siderablo extent. m~ A man named “Hope told a flat taring tale” to a young Illinois maiden of forty, and failing to purchase the license, she claims to havo been damaged to the extent of ton thousand dollars. Mr. P. H. Peters, who subscribes as “ Editor Locomotive, Marysville, Ivan sas,” publishes a letter in tho True (Jeor fjiuu yesterday evening, which shows that his JjuoomoHve has run completely off the Democratic track. • The New York Sun wants to know if suicide is “epidemical.” It would be a pity if it were so and were not to invade tho Sun office. There ore few places where a few suicides could be committed with moro advantageous results to the country. Thero has boen another free love murder in San Francisco. This time the injured wife, singularly mistaking her duty, shoots her husband’s paramour in stead of the husband himsolf. While the wife ought to be held guiltless for what she has done, she would be oil. the more so had her vongenuco fallen upon her husband. The Harrisburg (Pa.) State Journal declares that “a party which has invaria bly refused to protect labor has no claim to tho support of laboring men.” That is true. But the very poorest protection that can bo given “laboring men” is to to increase the cost of the necessaries of life, from twenty to fifty per cent., by a Byatom of oppressive and discriminating texation. This is the way the Radical party “protects” tho “laboring men.” ttaT* Tho National Labor Union, it 6oems, is to have a candidate for Presi dent in tho field during tho coming cam paign, and will trot him out at an early day. Tho President of that organization has issued a call for a convention to as semble at Columbus, Ohio, on the 18th of October, to put its candidate in the field. Tho editor of the Courier-Journal, it is understood, will apply for the situa tion of candidate. His hborctl editorials induce him to believe that he is tho cham pion laboring man of the country and ought to receive some acknowledgement of his services. B&.It has boon said that “great minds often run in tho same channel.” This has proof in a circumstauce which occurs in one of John nay’s poems. In his volume, recently issued from tho pross, is a poem entitled “In tho Twilight,” in which tho following lino occurs: "With folded Lauds and drcaiuiug oyes." In a very beautiful little poem entitled “llabioBelle,” by Thomas Bailey Aldrich, which appeared some ten or a dozen years ago—before John Hay had been heard of—tho following lino occurred: “With folded haude aiul dreamy eyes.” The great similarity between tho two will be observed by tho most casual read er, and it shows how closely two minds may run together, with more than a do- cado of yeurs between them. fik^Tho Chicago Pont, of a recent date contained tho following business like announcement: Whereas, It having been stated that Aleck Stephens, tho late Vice of the late Confederacy, had gained nine pounds siuco ho had boen an editor ; and where as, tho Courier-Jour uni said he must have been weighed with ono of his editorials in his pocket; and whereas, Aleck has retorted that, if tho Com-ier-Journal man had been weighed witlrono of' his edi torials in his pocket, he, tho aforesaid Courier Journal man, would go up like a balloon ; therefore Hanoi red, that in this round tho first blood should bo, and and hereby is awarded to the said Aleck, tho said late Vice of the said late Confed eracy. This tho Couriei-Jouruni copies, aud then adds, os follows : Tho liaudkerchicf upon which was wiped the blood from the dislocated nose of tho Courier-Journal has be en forward ed to Mr. Stephens by Express. Tho handkerchief has arrived and upon examination it is found to present the appearance of having lmd a twenty-four pound beet wrapped in it. No one would havo thought the blow would have made his nose swell so. Special Correspondence of the Atlanta Sun. J.ETTER FROM WASHINGTON llow (ho National Finances arc Mnnanod-Ooverl nr their Tracks -~>Vhnt Senator Tipton Says, fcc. WasiiiHOTON, D.C., Ang. +, ’71. It appears that up to May last war- V;.nti to the amount of upwards of three millions of dollars were drawn in favor of F. E. Spinner, Treasurer of the United States, of which no ac count is given in tho report of the expenditures of •. the Government made by the Secretary of the Treat' nry. The number, date and amount of each of the e warrants and the name of the iierson in whose favor they were drawn, appear on the books jof the Tr «! ,; ch they '< ere applied Mini 's. the , it ms of esj cudilurea which they are intended to eovor, are not given in The IU port of Mr. Bnutwell, nor is any one permitted to ascertain them from the records of the Depart ment. lion. Jas.H. Deck,of Kentucky, recently declared, in a public address, that “tlie beads of departments at Washington would rather seo Grant Emperor, with the right of succession to his sou, than seo the evidence of their guilt puss into (lie hands of the Democratic party." Mr. Hook’s alio (ration is based on farts which are no torious at Washington. It is well known by all ollicially connected with the Treasury Department that many of the Treasury ledgers have been destroyed. Nix Cart Load* of the account books of the Depart ment, it is said, liave been sold as waste paper,the red leather labels which were torn off them being all that remains of tlie demolished records. Why were these account books destroyed, if not to prevent the evidence of defalca tion and peculation in tlie Depart ment from seeing the light ? And why are the records which remain in tact hidden from tho scrutiny of all who seek to examine them, if not to conceal malfeasance of the Depart ment officials and to screen the plun derers who infest the Capitol from the vengeance of tho law? As the official reports of tlie Secretary of the Treasury do not furnish to thcjieoplc a full or itemized statement of the expenditures of the Government, and as tho records of tho Department are sealed books to all who arc not official ly connected with it, the public is obliged to grope in the darkest igno rance in forming a conclusion ns to the houcBty of tlie present adminis tration. It is only by such occasional glimpses into tlie penetralia of tlie executive offico as that afforded by the exposure of the Spinner warrants, that any idea of tlie inner working of tlie financial machinery of the Gov ernment is revealed to “outside bar barians.” The people of this country will never know Tlie Iniquities Perpetrated in their name at Washington, until tlie party which at present domi nates tlie country is turned out of power. They will hardly consent to stumble on through another fonr years’ darkness. Senator Tipton, of Ncbranka, a Republican in whom there- is no guile, thus defined his position in a speech ut Omaha t lie other day: “ I am unalterably opposed to the ruinous and corrupting course of tho present administration, and 1 hero pledge myself to make that opposi tion both open and uncompromising.” When the ablest and most distin guished men in the so-called Repuii- ican party, men like Trumbull, Schurz, Gratz Brown and Tipton, openly denounce the present admin istration as corrupt, and declare that it has forfeited all claim to tlie sup port of honest people, tlie attempts of- its parasites, the Mortons, the Camerons and the Conklings, and of its paid tools, the Forneys, tlie John Russell Youngs and iiie George Joneses to whitewash tho blackened record, will be -taken at tiieir true value. Thu Sec-ret ary of the Treasury iu assuming the right to decide upon the legality of claims (as in the case of the Kentucky war claim), after they have been passed upon by the proper accounting officers of the Treasury, has invaded an old and well defined law establishing tho pow ers of the Comptrollers of the Treas ury. A case similar to that presented by the State of Kentucky, was, dur ing the Presidency of Andrew Jack- son, taken up on appeal to hiiu (Jack son) who decided that the Comptrol ler was an officer over whom lie had no control except by removal in case lie failed in his duty; and that an ap peal from a decision of the Comp troller could only be acted upon by Congress. To show the fallacy of the position assumed by Mr. Routwoll in passing judgment upon the Kentucky claim, it may be stated that under his ruling, if tlie Secretary of tho Treasury has any accounts or claims before the De partment iu which he is personally interested he(by these powers claimed) can overrule a Comptroller and pass his own accounts, thereby D.ftalinvc the Object of Concrc iu making the Accounting Huit-aus of the Treasury independent of the Secretary, which was to prevent tlie head of the Treasury from interfering in any accounts or claims in which lie might be personally interested. In fact to grunt the position assumed by Mr. Uoutwell would be to make him the general claim agent of t lie whole country. The act of March, 1808, expressly forbids any hood 'of a Department from changing a balance certified by tlie accounting officers. He may state bis objections to a balance, but the decision of a Comptroller ii made final aud conclusive. Avoirs. GF.ORG IA NEWS. Wo oro sorry to learn, nays tlie Augusta Chronicle ami Sentinel of tlie Oth, that somo of tho colored nan employed on the cotton plantations iu adjoining coun ties seem disposed to act iu bad faith with their employers, and aro violating tho contracts which wore made last Jan uary. Ou yesterday a negro man named Caleb Davie camo to this city from Co lumbia county, aD-T breaking liis con tract with his employer—a gentleman named Eubanks. His presence hero was discovered and he was arrested by the police, and will ho held subject to Mr. Eubanks’ order. The Chronicle amt Sentinel says: Tho protracted dronth has bad a most disas trous effect upon the Savannah river.— Tho water is daily becoming lower, and steamboat navigation is seriously inter fered with. The steamer lie**, on her last trip, con Id not reach the wharves.— She is a light draught boat, only drawing twenty-two inches, but thero were only eighteen inches on Kirkpatrick’s bar, ana the llom could not pasH. She had to re main below the bar and nnlood her cargo by means of Hut boats. When sho left for Savannah yeatc-rday morning sbe had to take aboard her freight and puasougern the sime way. If we don’t have rain be fore long, navigation between Augusta andHavannah will havo to suspend for a while. The People Alive to the Neces sity of IinmlKcatlon — Earge Turnout—Speech of Copt 11. II True—“The Schoolmaster In Babylon,” etc. HpecUl Corrospoudcuco of the 8un. According to appointment, tho mem bers of the Pike County Agricultural So eietv met at Zebulon on Saturday kit, to take into consideration the propriety of a move on tho part of tho farmers of that county towards securing a supply of labor for the ensuing year, and to discuss tho many projects for securing the some; and particularly to hear the viows of Captain B. II. True, of Madison, on tho subject of immigration. Capt. T. lias boen very active in his exertions to bring to Georgia a class of citizens who havo taken hold and gone to work to build np tho waste places; and his success in thut lino secured him the attention of one of the largost audiences that havo assembled in Zebu Ion einco the war. Wo give a short syn opsis of his remarks: REMARKS OP CAPT. II. II. TRUE. Henllevicn of the Pike County Ayricidt iral • tvi .* I find myself very unexpectedly called upon to address you upon tho quostion of immigration. We havo arrived at that point where action becomes necessary to save us from greater evils than wo have yet encountered. Tho demoralization of our labor system is Well nigh complete. The nttendenco here to-day is a gratify ing sign thut you havo responded to the demands of tho hour in that spirit and determination which knows no such word as fail. You ore not alono in thinking that the timo has como for a change in our labor system, but from all parts of the State is breathed this sentiment. Do not understand me that I am at war with our present labor force. NotatalL The labor we have would do well enough had we the means to stimulate and enlighten it, and plenty of it. But a great scarcity exists, and to meet this want we must look else where. With a denno laboring population, competition is tho most po tent of labor laws. Tho chaugo I speak of is from being obliged to jiaudor to the wants and tastes of a few ignorant, un skilled laborers, to that stato of things where many skilled workmen comes in competion with them, and spurs the lazy and indolent up, or else nudges him oil the track. By tho introduction of foreign laborer's we not only mako available the labor wo havo but we stimulate new and untried industries. Skilled laborers will not only bring with them muscular strength and power, but ideas, which (with all our inducements of climate, soil and production, our railroads built, our farms fenced, cleared and ready for the plow, our churches and froo schools,! will find root in our soil, and grow and strengthen as years pas3 away. Demon strate to tho English laborer that the same products as grown in their native land can bo even moro successfully pro duced here, that sheep husbandry may be made os profitable as cotton culture, and that tho successful raising of fruits and vegetables, of corals, aud iu fact nearly everything produoed iu tho tropica, and higher latitudes, is no experiment, but simply a question of skill and intelli gence. When tho English laborer finds out tho true condition of the South, that the winters are mild and pleasant, that a living can easily bo made, that less cloth ing and fuel will do them thou at the North, wo will have no trouble to tnrn the tide immigration in this direction and freo them from the sad condition iu which they are Since my residence in the State I havo become deeply interested iu her welfuro, and havo devoted what little energy I possess to the advancement of her mate rial interests, and there aro nono moro deeply impressed than myself wifh tho importance of this movement, which will secure abundance of labor aud good, in dustrious settlers for our surplus lauds. I am here with no set plan for action iu opposition to the opinion of this intelli gent audience; but as tho undertaking is a gigantic one, to consider and reason together and adopt a plan which looks the most feasible. To meet with suc cess, however, wo must scciiro the coope ration of tho peoplo, for in such a task as is involved in procuring a largo natural immigration, individual offort can accom plish very little. It is not enough that we make a simple eflort and then cease to work, for tho demand will increase for labor as fast as it can possibly bo supplied by a well regulated ‘ ‘Immigration Associa tion.” It is generally tho coso that indi vidual efforts rarely if over succeed only in tho first undertaking. Tho victory is not followed up. The few isolated familioe become dissatisfied, and thus ends tho work. Wo propose, iu tho organization of a State Association, to liavo a perma nent institution, which will not only fur nish farm laborers, bat artisans, mechan ics, house servants, and actual settlers, not only from Europe, but from any port of tho world to suit tho wants of the peo ple. Two things, however, must bo con sidered if wo aro allowed to choose; first, tho. character of tho emigrant, and sec ond tho cost of landing him in Goorgia. Although iu the broad senso of tho word population is wealth, still when ohoioe is allowed us it becomes us to sottlo upon the class best adapted to our country and condition. 1 havo had somo experience with English laborers at tho North, and it is toy settled conviction that tlfcy will be far superior to any other class now of fered us. By tho introduction of the English wc have a homogeneous people, speaking onr lnnguago and conversant with our geueml way of doing things. The cost to land an Englishman iu Charleston is $25; for a Swecd $G0 to $80; for a Chinaman $150. Capt. Murray said to tho Charleston Immigration Conven tion, a yoar ago last Muy, “Thoro is, os you aro well aware, a strong prejudice in the minds of Kuropcau emigrants gener ally against the South, owing to their ed ucated ignorance with regard to us. They think that wo have always despised labor, that we hato tho laborer and look down upon him and his occupation with con tempt.” They aro still taught to ha lieve, and many of them <lo believe, that if they come to tho South they would bo made slaves instantly. There is another class of them who believe that the South ern peoplo aro a lawless, semi-barbarous set—that tho Southern climate is deadly to white laborers, and that tho negro is among us only because ho U a negro, and he alone could endnre onr climate as a laborer. One of tho tasks before us is to en lighten this ignorance and removo these prejudices. To do this is among tho first steps towards the consummation of those measures, which are necessary to secure foreign immigration. Though all seem to dosiro immigration, yet few appear to realize fts importance so as to bring it home to themselves.-- What is that put the North abend of the South in wealth and population but im migration ? Tho immigrants and de scendants of immigrants who have set- tho difference between the two nations in The Georgia State Agricultural population, wealth and pow In 17U0 tho deffereure between them iu j-ipulatiou did not exceed ten thou sand, natural increase 1i*h been in favor of tho South—yet the difference iu pop ulation between the two sections amount now to ton or fifteen millions. My proposition in, to organise a Stato Immigrant Association on a plan similar to tho ono adopted by South Carolina. This, we can do at the Romo agricultural convention, where will be found many of tho leading Agriculturists of the btuto. It would not be amiss to get tho sense of tho meeting by giving each person pres ent, a chance to put his name down for as many laborers as each would like. UEOHOJA AS A HOME FOB THE IMMIGRANT. Probably no Southern State holds out such inducements to the immigrant from Europe or settlers from tho North, as Georgia. Situated between tho two ex tremes of heat and cold, she enjoys a wider range of production, and a mild solabrions climate—the like of which has no parallel in tho Bamo territorial extent upon tho habitable globe. Thero is hardly a limit to her productive capacity, nearly all tlie merchantable product of the world can bo successfully grown within her borders. We only need a teeming population to bring out her now dormant energies. In point of productive indus try, Goorgia, although crippled aud pros trate by tho war, has mado rapid strides. Tho rich mines lio undeveloped, need on ly tho skillful artizau to bring the glitter ing ore to tho surface. Tho railroads that aro built, and those in process of construction, extend like a net-work over tho entire State. The rivers invite capi tal to build factories—aud in fact, noth ing is lacking save a dense population to muke Georgia ‘ ‘bloom as tho roso.“ l The peoplo of Pike aro in earnest about getting a full supply of labor; aud on tho conclusion of Capt. True’s remarks a largo number of gentlemen signified their intention of adopting his views on the subject, and agroed to subscribe for a largo number of English laborers. At tho September meeting, it was desired that parties wishing to secure labor should state how many. This mooting will bo held on the first Saturday iu Sop tember, when it is confidently expected that Piko county will make arrangements to secure at least three hundred white laborers. From what was said at this meeting, tho county of Piko is sadly short of labor and the people seo no way of supplying it except by immigration; and wo be lieve that tho peoplo aro in earnest iu this movement. THE SCHOOLMASTER IN IiADVLON I When the meeting of tho Agricultural Society was at its highest point of inter est, and tho peoplo had began to feel and know the importance of tho work before them, Gen. Lewis, State School Commis sioner, mado his appearance, and asked for permission to address tho audience. Tho Pike county poople, true to their raising, did not rofusc this privilege; but about half of them suddenly loft, when ho got tho floor, and commenced a speech which lasted about an hour and a half.— Wo judge that our Pike county friends think that if they can secure labor enough to mako crops, they will not trouble tho Gen oral to visit them on the subject of schools. Thero are no poople in Georgia who tnko a deeper interest in tho education of their children than those of Fike county; but wo confess that wo do not beliovo that gallant, glorious old rike favors an imported school commis sioner, when thero are within her bor ders men who can fill tho position as well as those from a more northern latitude. Crops through Pike aro generally very good, and the oounty will doubtless mako enough to feed its people and a little to spare. Society.
