The decision of Secretary Sehnrx on
the Dudymotto case has caused no
little excitement in the (sr west, espe
daily In Kansas. The grant of lands
the Pacific railrotd companies was
npon the charter condition that they
should be disposed of within three years
after completion of the roads respec
tively. Inetad of selling the lands at
$1.25 an acre, the government price,! ht
companies have held them at specula
tive prices. The sales of the Central
Pacific company, for 1877, .-veraged
$1265 an acre, and the Kansu Pacific
has been selling its lands at from $3
$20 an acre. The latter embraces
me of the but wheat lands in
fertile Kansas. The decision of
the secretary does not deprive the
companies of the lands in qoeetion,bnt
makes them ant ject to pre-emption
$125 an acre. It throws nearly
thirty millions acres on toe market at
that rate. It le not settled yet wheth-
tbe railroad company ia bound to
make title, or whether the department
to make the conveyance. Nor ia it
settled that the secretary’s decision
will stand a judicial teat. The inlet
ested railroad companies deny its v >
lidity. They claim that the mortgagee
that have given ere sales that cannot
be set aside by any soch decision. The
land commiseioner of tha Union Pacil-
ic company hu already given notice
that his company will proceed to aell
and handle its lands as heretofore, ard
that any person who interferes will ac
cumulate as big a lawsuit as be will be
apt to deeire. The matter most be set
tied in the courts, and until it is so set
tied the sales of the land-grant roads
will remain completely paralysed

the most summary manner. We regret

we are told, exaggerated. ~
eee nothing in the
nil article of Colonel Jones,
which acvumpenieyj thy telegram
lion proves correct or not, it is clear
that Prince Bbmarck bu been greatly
strengthened by the late e!ecions. He
no longer at the me.cy oi the
liberals. He is free to form al
liances with two parties that can
themselves no more mix than
can fire and water. He will undoubt
edly secure such snti-socialist legisla
tion u he desires; bnt it is extremely
doabtlnl whether he will be sble to
obtain an income from tobacco inde
pendent of parliamentary grants, or ab
solute control of all the railroads in the
empire. He is stronger than he wu
before the dissolution ot the old
parliament, bat he still lacks a
working strength that be can wield
under ail circumstances. The man ol
iron most treat with one of two parties
that be thoroughly dislikes. It is beet
it is. Socialism hu received a check,
and the chancellor is not in a position
carry reactionary measures to nn-
aonabie lengths.
In the old times, when politicians, u
a rale, were as patriotic as the average
voter, there wu an unwritten law to
the effect that the office should seek
the man and not the man the office.
Bnt the improvements the independ
ents have striven to inaugurate, do
away with this relic oi the pest—this
fossil that used to amuse the fathers
According to the independents, the man
should seek the office. Mr. Speer,
standing upon a gloomy platform c. m-
1 of modern dry goods boxer,
glares grandly around npon a multi
tude composed largely of patriotic
colored people, points his fore
finger at hia palpitating boson.,
remarks: "I sm the
to represent yon, my friends. I am the
sbnormally enlarged Iauc of this era.
1 have looked at this matter in front
end from behind—I have examined
npon all sides—and, u the result oi
my investigations, 1 am free to coufes.-
to yon that I am ibe only man whocan
adequately represent yon in congreei.
The weight oi the testimony ia on my
side. Colonel Peter Lawshe says so
Colonel Smithy Clayton, of Atlanta
hu confessed it. Behold in me the
great North American patriot, ca
biased, and warranted not to tear loose
in the middle.” ,
Then, u a sort of echo, we hear Dr.
Felton, “My Christian friends,I am the
only man capable of representing yon
1 am the only truly good man to be
found in this section. I am a real
smart man; I am a big man. My in
telleslnal deposits are very ripe. If
yon don’t send me to congress I shall
think yon are realty selfish. Who
coaid be eo naughty as to vote against
me when I want the cffice u badly
X do. I shall feel very mnch hart if
am not elected.”
And eo it goes. The great oi j-cuon
to the independent movement is the
tact that the man seeks the office ant!
not the office the man. It introduce*
into oar politics what oar forefathers
justly regarded u an abomination.
Happily the democratic nominees in the
seveutn and ninth district gave a flat
lebnke to this unhealthy ambition.
Neither Judge Lester nor Colonel Bil
tips wu a candidate for congress—each
oi them had different aspirations, but
they were taken up and nominated
unanimously u soon u their nimet
were called in the conventions. Tbs
office sought the men. How different
the attitude of Felton and Speer, who
are going abont clamoring for office
There ia a leeaon in this.
OS TBS BIOBT TRACT.
We desire to express onr hearty com-
mendation of the exhibition made by
the colored peep's in this city on yes
terday. A really creditable procession
wu gotten up, composed of precise
military and flashily dressed firemen.
Everything wu orderly and qniet.
While there wu a good deal of rough-
drawn hilarity, there wu no drunken-
or rioting.
The negroes have acted wisely in
withdrawing from sinister political or
ganisations like the Union League and
organising into militsry and fire com
panies? aid and debatirg eocities and
the like. It wonld seem that they ere
especially adapted to fire dnty, an as
sumption that is borne ont by the fact
that the Athena and Colnmbns cam
paniea ate proved to have been excel
lent firemen. The white people
thonld be prompt and decisive
in giving their moral and political sap
port to there organisations. The negro
is bound to have some sort of societies
—tome sort of display—some sort ot
excitement. If they do not get it in
this shape, they will take it in some
other way.
We are glad to note that Atlanta hrs
two flourishing military companies, and
third one forming. We feel sure that
the whole people of the city welcome
such orderly organisations u those that
are now visiting at*. Tils Constitution
is glad to express this welcome. Ws
rhall always be glad to note the arrival
oi such excursions, and to give lair
impartial and loll accounts cf their pro
ceedings.

In the late parliament the variou*

that it will require all the argument
Mr. fipeer hu at command, and a cam
paign running through the next forty
years,to convince tbe average voter that

new issne in Georgia politics and cne
that we are glad that Mr. fipeer has

whether a man who wears a fash

ple as a political villain, or whether
one who finds it necessary to change
his linen is to be looked npon as a
monster, nnfit to go to congress or to

this is Mr. Speer’s platform, and npon
he most stand or fall. It is a nniqne

that the people in November will give

While abnsing conventions he
might have sadly pointed to the reenh

Georgia, and have shown that tbe
nominee of neither wu an aspirant for

Speer, like Dr. Feljon, goes into tbe
campaign handicapped. He can abase
conventions in tbe abstract, but he can
bring no chaige of trickery against the
particular convention which nominated
Colonel Billups. Hia selection was
spontaneous, enthusiastic, unanimous,
and it will be endorsed at the polia
Nor can Mr. Speer make any unsuc
cessful attack or bring SDy substantial
charges against the character and fit
ness oi Colonel Billnps. We suppose
it is a crime for him to wear clean
shirts, but it is not a political crime in
Georgia and Mr. Speer will find that in

neyism in north Georgia that he has

The great interest attached to th-.-
recent eclipse of the can, oar grei
central luminary, hu censed many oi
onr amateur astronomers to overlook
the fact that onr little satellite, the
moon, will itaeif be eclipsed to mor.
On tbe principle that “turn
abont ia fair play” the earth will re
taliate the Alexandrian indignity effer
ed ns two weeks ago, and in her tan
will cat off the sanehine from th*

tbe solar eclipse of July 2>.h occnrret

the moon trikes a complete revolution
around the earth in sbont twenty-nine
days, hence in about fourteen days it
will have passed around the earth to tht
aide fnrtherest from the enn, and just at
fall moon will plnnge into the lot
conical shadow that strums off Dorn
the earth on the side away from the
snn, and we will have a Innar eclipse.
Now, the time it takes the moon

Owing to the inclination of 1 he moon'
otbit and tbe retrograde motion of its
nodal points, the moon at new moon
and fall moon is generally either above
or below the line paseing through tbe

have an eclipte at every new and

tbe center ol the moo will pass a little

A new party should spring from
principles not held by existing pariies-
It most be based on new principles, eo
to spesk, or it most die. It cannot
exist unless it meets a public sentiment
tuat finds no expreetion in existing
parties. It becomes a nuisance if it
does not, it withers and passes away
after a brief and fitfnl existence
Neither the wants nor the extravagan
promises of those who seek to rid
a new party into office? that they
can not otherwise get, can keep
alive beyond one or two campaigDB.
The greenback or national party is in
thiJ situation to-day. It hu been
forced into existence by men
who could not oDtain office
from the old parties—men who do not
hesitate to make promises on the stamp
that they know are u unsound
in principle u they are impossible
execution-men who do not
hesitate to demand the substi
tution of greenbacks for bonds
that are uot due and qsnnot be called
in for many years to come. The ut
terances cf each men from the stamp
are simply nonsense. We mast look
elsewhere for the real principles ol the
new party. Its leading exponents me<

and there pat Into formal shape the
demands 0! the nationals or green-
backers. TUsy Bay they want govern
mem bonds to bear the hardens of
taxation like other property, a loll
egal tender currency, the immediate
aud m conditional repeal of the re
sumption act, lawful liberation
the coin in the treasury, the removal
of all restrictions u to the coinage and
use ol silver, the issne ot treasury
notes to such an extent as will folly
satisfy the roqnirementsof trade, the
retiring of national bank notes and
substitution therefor of government
notes, opposition to monopolies, subsi
dies and special privileges, bnt a judi
cious expenditure in the construction
f necessary rational improvements,
and opposition to an increase of the
rational bonded debt.
If they bsd tried to express wbst the
democrats of the forty fifth congress
have persistently struggled to achieve,
in the lace of an opposition senate and
executive, they could not have com*
nearer the mark. The rational lead
e*s in fact took bidily the principles
that have controlled and will continue
to control tbe democrats cf the demo
cratic house, and * f the republican sen
ate. Not a little cf what they demand
hu already teen secured through the
efforts of the democrats in congress,
and anless the new movement destroys
democratic supremacy in the two houses
ol congress, it is safe to assume that the
remainder of their programme will
be carried ont, in spite of an adverse
executive. Tne sole hope of putting the
programme of the new party into law
depends npon tbe snpremicy of tbe
democratic party. The new party can
not accomplish anything in that direc
tion, and the republican party will not.
U the greenbackera thereiore divide the
votes ol thoee who think as they do
the great financial question, letting
here and there a republican, they wilt
rain their own cause.
Let ns look beyond the action ol
democrats in congress. Let ns go to the
state conventions in order to show in s
still plainer manner the folly of a new
party at this juncture. In 1876 Ten
nessee sent a strong greenback dele
gation to the St. Louis con
vention. As early as 1874
her democratic platform contained tots
plank: “ We demand the unconditional
repeal of the retnmption act ot Jan.

farther quotations from sotftbern plat
forms. Suffice it that south of the
Potomac the democratic state couren-
ions have fully mtt the views of the
new party managers as expressed in
their recent Washington meeting.
Texas, Tennessee. Arkansas and Lou
isiana have spoken through state con
ventions, and most of the rest through
congressional conventions.
In tbe west we find a similar senti
ment in the democratic part;
have before ns the Ohio, Ini
Iowa platf jrmB—all outspoken,
up to the demands of the new
rhe Maine democrats held thi
vention on the eighteenth of]
when they declared: “We are
to the present national banking
and in favor of the gradual
ititation of greenbacks for
bank-bills.” The Pennsylvania plat
form is of a similar tenor. With the
exception of Michigan
little Delaware, we do not
know of a democratic state .- plat
form adopted this year that does not
come ap 10 the v ; ews of those who are
demanding the organization of a new
party in order to secure financial re
form.
On this point let ns give in conclusion
the words of llr. Hendricks in his re
cent speech at the opening of the Ia-
diana campaign:
Ttcse questions are not stale. Hen will think
and talk and rote npon them this year, and
drexj voting year, until they are properly gri
lled. Tbe voters will hsv« by their ballots to
declare who .her they are for the national bank
system or fer substituting treumy note* lor
bank paper. Tbev do not see why the substitu
tion msy not be mmde,aa the treasury notes will
have an *qtul credit, and m«nj millions saved
of intern: upon the bonds pledged as security
for the bank issues. Nor can the people see why
the treasury notes, now that they have sub
stantUUy ceaetd <o represent the government
credit, sad have a use only as moccy,should not
be taxed ss all other money is taxed in the
hands of its holders. Nor can a patriotic people
remain indifferent while from year to year and
from me ministration to administration this fatal
policy is pursued, contrary to that of any other
Til z3d people, of seeking the sale of public
securities abroad instead of adopting every
means ponible to secure their purchase by tha
people at home. Upon these questions, how
do yoo voters ttanuT
With such facts before him
what greenback democrat will
withdraw nis vote and influence from
the only party that can give the conn-
try relief,to ir&Esfer them to a party that
lacks both cohesivaness and strength,
and that can gain neither because there
is absolutely no room for it in Ameii-
can politics? The democracy on
practicable cuirency reform platform
hold the field, and will continue to hold
it against all comers, being always
the party whose chief business it is to
represent the country's capitalists and
centralists.

Ur.,1 and tne rsmldencr.
Oa this bntiful night when the silver
moon ia playing hide and seek behind
the fleecy clouds, when the tired
earth is cooling herself on the evening
dews, when the cow-bells ate tinkling
drowsily in the meadow and the katy
dids are fiddling away their monotonous
tune, I fi d myself rumaoatin’ on ns-*
tor’. Ax Harris if he knows that the
katydids and the katydidenta and the
locu°ts and the harvest Ays all nlav on
the fiddle. The books do say that their
wittgs are all covered with a delicate
parchment which has cat gut veins
across it, and their bodies are coated
with a tissue of bnckskio, wnich they
can swell into a kettle drum for a
sounding board, and they make their
rattling tune by scratch Dg their hind
'egs to and fro across the cat gut 2,000
times faster tLaa a fiddltr jerks his
bow. I always did wonder how the
little rascals could sing ao loLg bn one
note without stopping to get their
breath. Well thiy hold their Tittle offis
for only a few months and make all the
noise they possibly can and then retire
into an humble sphere and play the
silent grab apd the crawlin’ worm
for 17 years and then enm beck
and fiddle as nenal. That’s wbat yon
might call rotattn in offis, and I reckon
is a nararal type of what politicians
ought to do. I never did believe in a
man hole.in on to an offis until he
thought nobody else was nt for it and
he had a preemtion claim without any
right but possession.
And this reminds me to ax Harris if
he knows th.t the wbippooiwtll and
the bullbat are the fame birds and
when they set 00 a limb or a mil they
-never set across it, bnt lice themselves
with it the ioc| way, just like e 1 azard
on a fence, and they build their nests in
a furror and set on em the same way,
which I teckon is typical of hiw folks
ought generally to go with the current,
ana not be cross grained nor set np
independent ways oi their own contra
ry to the good old fashion.
And while the silver moon is looking
down so senenly npon the sleeping
earth, I was a rumenatin npon how ebe
cornea to show its always tbe seme side
and never turns her back npon ns, bnt
gladdens and cheers us with the same
bright face just like a pleasant friend
who comes to see yon otten and never
stays too long, at a time. That’e typi.
cal of how folks ought to live
uniform and unchat gable in
their conduct, and always show
the bright and happy side if they’ve
got any, and may be we would oil be
kinder and gel along better if it wosent
for this old earth we live on turnin over
and over and over all tbe time, and git>
tin everybody and everything topsy
tnrvy and readv to quarrel and fuss
and fight without knowin how we came
so; and I was a Ihinkin about this beau-

No man was ever placed in a morn
trying position than was Ur. Tildet,
that grave crisis. He was the presi'
dent-elect of the United S ates, and
was rightfully entitled to bo thns de
clared, without question hy friend or
foe. He was the chosen agent ol the
people; their representative, embody
mg and expressing ’heir rights as well
as their will- Tne official duty of as
certaining and declaring thiB choice
rested with 'he two hunaes of congress.
The act devolved npon them was sim
ple ; it woe to ascertain and decide npon
tbe merits of the case. In the event of
disagreement, it was the dnty of the
he use uf representaiives to elf ct a pres
ident. In thia emergency, all that was
necessary to io was, to stand firm by
the constitotion and the laws. Tnis
waa not done. Tbe record shows thst
Ur. Tilden was a courageous and safe
leader at that time; and there is no
donbt, if his advice nad been followed,
that tbe people woa'd not have been
defrauded of tbeir choice for president.
Bat the plan of intimidating tbe sen
ate and the bonce succeeded. They
n lded lees than their rights, from tbe
r that the/ wonld be blamed for
claiming more than was their
due; they abandoned the
constitutional right of a lawful
count of the vote, from fear o! being
falcely accused of distnrbit g the pub
lic peace. Sorely there was no necef-
sity uf surrendering before they had
been beaten. It was time enongh tc
yield to the force of federal bayoneif
when such usurpation hod been sac
eeesfab Meantime it was the right oi
t e people’s representatives to insis
upon a constitutions! count. The re
cord shows that no one saw more, clear
ly that the paths of dnty and of victory
were the same than did M*. Tilden
Hia wiadum in counsel will bear the
test of closest scrutiny, now thst it it
subject to edm review. The tuuei
called for a resolute assertion of righ',
united with the n most pradenct.
With timidity on one uaad or rasbnea-
on tbe other, defeat was certain. Mr.
lUden exhibited neither timidity not
rashness, and folly vind : cated the tc
tion of the people in electing him presi
dent. His coarse since that time hat
been even more heroic. He has care
fully abstained from any set icconsis
tent with the d gnity or the patriotism
of a rightful president wrongfully de
prived ot hia office. When the history
of the timeshail be impartially written
the highest honor will be given Samnt t
J. Tilden, for the wirdom and d; cisioi
of his counsel when his advice wa-
sought; and, when silence became >
duty, lur bis patient suffering nndet
the graves’- wrung ever CMnmittet

With a view cf reconc’lin her to pov

and he’s been mixin* up with them
kings and potentates across the water

agin the whole bisiness will end in the
death of liberty or another fight. You
see them bondholders are » backin’ of

“Well, has Kearney got the demo

the Poet yesterday of reprerantattvo
Lnttrell, who has just arrived from San
Francisco.
“No,” he replied, “he has not. This
workingmen’s movement somewhat
demoralized both the old parties, but
the democrats are organ t og, and will
be stronger in the next campaign than
ever before. Next lim: we will gnin
thousands of votes from the repnDlican
party. You Bee, lota of men voted the
Kearney ticket before who didn’t agree
with him. But both the old parties
combined against the wotkingmen, and
it forced every mechanic and laborer
into their ranks ”
“How many congressmen can the
democrats elect next time 7”
‘Three certan; and I believe, four.
The people are aatiefitd with the re
cord ol the democratic party, and tbe
workirgmen will stay with us. This
Kearney movement was only a tempor
ary excitement. Nevada will send a
democrat to congress, too; and I tell
you the democratic party is looking
up and gaining strength all along the
Pacific coast.”

they are down on worse than anybody.
He couldn’t get a vote for anything

“What are they down on him for?”
“Wny, fur the outrageous way in
which he controlled legislation at tbe
close of congress. He took everything
into bis own hands. Hia t tilings were
one-eided and unj.uti He wanted io
crash everyth ng that didn’t enit him.
Then he ignored the west in fixing np
the committees, and the people have
found oil there things on him. I don’t
