Republican party “ isenctindiercd with
measures that are obnoxious to the
people, prejudicial to their interests and
in some respects inimical to tlie govern
ment.”
These utteranccsarealarniing. They
indicate the possitnlitv that the Demo
cratic party may lie “ encumbered ”
by the* return of this vengeful recre
ant to its folds. The “old Ku Klux”
goes ou to enumerate the evils of which
Jhe wide-awake capitalists of An- the Kepublicnn paity must be cured,
wgnnizcd a cotton factory **■' days are numbered .
A financial

gu-ta have
company on a large scale. The city
<*ouncil pnijMisc to widen the canal to
secure water for the new mill. North
ern capitalists have taken stock in the
enterprise.
Augusta is undoubtedly a good point
for manufacturing, as the success of
the Augusta Factory has nmply at
tested, and we rejoice at the determin
ed spirit evinced by this new move
ment.
It can lie clearly demonstrated, how
ever, tlmt the slmals of Clarke county
present fiicilitiw every way superior to
those offered in Augusta. At Barnett
shoals there is a water power ample for
|>erhaps a doxen factories as Urge as
the Augusta Factory. It is estimated
by competent Engineers that a first
eJa-s factory may lx* erected nud filled
with machinery, at Barnett shoals,
iiieluding the exjiense of a canal and n
narrow gauge railn a 1 built to the (la.
R. It., 8 miles, for less money than it
will cost to widen the Augusta canal,
lathor is from 15 to ‘.’,0 )>er cent, cheap
er here than in Augusta, and the cost
of living lower in proportion.
Barnett Shoals is entirely salubrious,
with a dry, bracing climate ; while the
can il is damp and unwholesome, and
operatives in mills along its Imrders are
more or less subject to malarial diseases.
The city tax in Augusta is two jicr
••cut. and the water tax jicrlmps would
amount to a similar sum—both of
which items would lie saved at Barnett
Shoals.
Cotton can lie lxiughs here over a
cent a jmnnd less than in Augusta,
w hich on goods sold here or shipped to
the West would constitute a large sav
ing. It is surprising that sagacious
capitalists have not availed themselves
of the advantages of manufacturing
here more extensively. Situated on a
slope of the Apnlachian chain, several
streams which find their source in the
counties above, tumble off in a succes
sion of bold shoals, in various ports of
Clarke county, affording water-power
the e xtent of which few of our own
citizens appreciate. It is said that
there are only a very far—perhaps four
or five—shoals in the United States with
the |lower and the natural advantages
for licing cheaply utilized, which Bar
nett Shoals afford.
A Faying Business.—At a scnn-
niin ini meeting of the stockholders of
the “ Augusta Factory,” held on the
oltth June, the President submitted
to the company a report for the fiscal
year just ended, gross earnings, Ac.,
to the amount of 8196,649,53—expen
se's for the same time 51,108 65—leav
ing as net earnings 145,504 84, from
which four dividends amounting to$120,
000 had liecn paid during the year,
leaving on hand 25,504-84 to he charg
ed to profit and lass account.
This we call a pretty good paying
business and only goes to show what
might lie done in other localities in the
s.une wav, if the proper means were
employed.
A New Party.—The New York
Herald, has discovered a movement to
organize a new jmrty, with Chase as the
Presidential candidate. In the South
sueb men as Bustced of Alabama,
Kx-fhicf Justice Brown, Hen, B. H,

Mrs. Burdell Cunninalmm tarns up.
A UtCU CHAPTER IN REAL LIKE.
The New York Sim has a long ac
count of the re-np|iearanee of Mrs.
Burdell Cunningham, made notorious
soine years ago iu connection with the
murder of I)r. Burdell. She turns up
as the wile and murderer of Mr. Win.
Parker, at St. Joseph Mo. Seeing his
death announced, his lawful wife, Mrs
Sarah Parker, 90 Variek sf., New
York, went to St Joseph to look after
his affairs. She found that some time
before his death lie hail married Mrs.
Cunningham, and immediately after
his marriage had his life insured for
87,500. Rumors of poisoning had
been hinted at before the arrival of the
first Mrs. Parker. His employers,
who had been about his bedside, dur
ing his brief illness had seen very sus
picious doses administered to him, and
the t ndertakcr swore to seeing suspi
cious marks of poisoning on his throat,
and to seeing a man named Craig
who appears to have beeu playing
Eckel of the Burdell murder ease, for
Mrs. Cunningham—paint over these
marks with powder.
The Physicians agreed that evidences
of foul play were numerous, and the
insurance companies had the grave
guarded to prevent a removal of Par
ker’s body. Ai\ attempt was made to
secure a po*tf mortem examination, but
it failed through the interference of
the District Attorney, and the affair
was dropped—the insurance companies
still refusing to pay the policies, Mrs
Parker returned to New York, and
Mrs. Cunningham Parker was in a few
days married to tiie Deputy City Clerk
Mr. Douglass—and may any day lie
seen driving about St. Joseph with aa
air of queenly complaisance—such as
the wife of five husbands within the
space of about ten years, might lie ox-
pectc.i to assume.

in uiently establishing Hie Republic,
The New York Post thus describes
the Pennsylvania Central Railroad
Company: With property in its
hands to the amount of two hundred
and fifty millions of dollars; with
gloss income far greater than that of
the United States Goverment twenty
years years ago, and greater than that
of any State Government to-day; with
at least three State Legislatures ready
to regj.-ter Its will, and others greatly
influeoaedhyit, and with all its achieve
ment-s regarded by the hold nud able
men who control it merely as stepping
clones to a greater future, what
prevent! t from becoming also the great
est politic*/ power ?
Tlte Philadelphia Gazette is compel!
ed to ariotawlcdge tlmt this is n true
hill, and only excuses the ambition
greed ami capacity of the Pennsylva
nia monopoly, by the allegation that
was “ the desperate style of warfare
by the two groat roads of New York
that compelled tine Pennsylvania com
panv to put firth the exertions and
seize the powers atfitas.” But while
acknowledging the danger menaced by
that great monopoly, the GazetteV pride
In it as a Pennsylvania institution over-
<eumes <enftiy .other feeling, and it thus
eenaplaceutty adds to the list of its
triumphs, saying :
The Evening Poet might have stated
that this company substantially con
trols a connected line front the Atlan
tic to the Pacific, is interested in an
other seeking the inerth Pacific, taps
adl the cuDuneroe of the lakes, taps that
ot the Mississppi anil tributaries ut

line skirting <4* Atlantic litoral lienee
southward, .will have a voice and hand
whenever Uuu&uwti achieves its pur-
jM«* of reaching Chattanooga, and
the supjmrter of a line of European
steamships to he run from this port
And even such additions would fail to
cxlmust the catalogue of resources and
powers belonging to e corporation that,
whether considered in its positive pos
sessions, its.terminal and way eennec-
tions, the business along its line nnd at
its several fenders, its relations to the
great roads rtf New Jersey or any other
belongings, ranks above the most pow-
I reply it will; and in the followiug
wjtys ; first, its manufacturing interests
will be improved by giving cheaper
trans|Mirtation to mauufiietiircd goods
to market; ami also cheapening freights
on raw material to lie manufactured;
also food for operators employed in
working up the crude materials.
Athens, with a branch of the Central
Rail Road from Eutontou, and the
North Eastern to the North and West,
IxH-omesone of the best manufacturing
points in this country. A ml now let
us examine, first, in iiiniiiifiictiiring
ittou. ll.-r mil:kit is always one
cent liclow Augusta, and 24 below
New York; and with these facilities
for shipment, but little of this advan
tage is lost in getting other goods to
Northern *and Western markets
serious difficulty which we have now to
contend against. The same follows
good with the flouring mills; by the
completion of a road from here to
Knoxville, wetnponcof the first wheat
and grain growing countries in the
world, and a country solely dependent
their neighbors to grind it lip.
Athens heingon a direct line to Augusta,
Charleston, ami ‘Savannah, would
mhtless get the job, and a splendid
job it would he.
Thy Foundry and Machine works,
would be as near to the great coal and
iron beds, as Atlanta, ami Athens
ould present quite as eligible a
position to roll iron as any city South.
The builder would receive his lime
from Gainesville, which formally sup
plied us by wagon, and no better lime
is tounil in this country. He will also
receive his lumber from this road,
which passes through one of the finest
timber countries in Georgia, both pine
and oak. He would also receive his
granite from Jackson county ten miles
from Athens ; granite that splits like
reed, and works beautifully. Where
is there a country under the suu which
produces a population liettcr adapted
for the mechanical pursuits of life than
North East Georgia? The soil being
generally poor, the climate invigorat
ing and healthy ; content with the hare
necessaries uf life, they are content with
small wages, and when their native
talent is well directed, developes
mechanical skill quite equftl to import
ed. They licing satisfied with much
less wages, makes it impossible for
foreign laborers toget afoot hold. The
things greatly nee Jed in North East
Georgia are schools and work shops
Give us them, find we have raw mate
rial ipiough in our midst, “ with trans
portation to get it away,” to make the
present population rich. Only to
think of the axe helves, hubs, felloes,
■pokes,chairs,cheap furniture, wagons,
and the like, now.brought to Georgia,
and the men who make them one thou
sand miles from here, are paid from
two to four dollars per day for making
them, while our own laborer is glad to
receive from seventy five cents to one
dollar per day. I ask why is this ?
I am told because capitalists have never
helped to join their strength with the
laborers of the country, for theirmntual
advantage. The mechanics could not
start business beyond the immediate
wants of the neighborhood, and the
capitalists of this country lrnve never
had any capital to invest outside a
cotton mill, using the poorest paying
laborers in the world. There was an
other serious difficulty, aud that was
trans]H>rtation. It cost as much to
send an article from here to Auguste,
as it did from New York to Augusta,
Thus wo received no advantage over
New York for being within 100 miles
of Augusta. It is out of the question
for a country to progress without cheap
and abundant transportation. Let the
Ni rtli Eastern Rail Road be built, let
the capitalist joiu his capital with the
working men of the country in aiding
its development, and notsend his capital
all over the country a thousand miles
from home to invest at 3 and 6 per
cent, while about him commerce groans
under a tax -vf frost 12 to 15 per cent,
and ilie poer man's .shelter costs one
fourth its worth, for** annual rental.
Invest your money at home. This will
improve the countiy j end improving
the country, cajtuwt fajj to improve
your wealth, as your wealth ie in the
country, which is esery day advancing
by the wealth retained iu it. And
here let me add a hint to the voter:
you must moke Jaws giving full securi
ty to capital, or it will not locate with
vuu. A.

made for life, but for a term of years, |
we apprehend that increased energy I
and vitality would be manifested in I
every department of the University.
The principle of the Alumni eonsti- •
tutiug an ck-mci.t in tint control ir.g
power, is not new, nor wholly untried.
It is now, we are informed, adopted by
the four leading universities of the
United States, viz: Michigan Univei-
sity, Yale College, (as we have before
referred to), Harvard College, and
Cornell University. Iu Cornell Uni
versity, N. Y., besides the State officers,
who are Trustees, fifteen Trustees are
elected for a term of five years. The
Register of Cornell, now before us,
states: “ By a special clause in the
act of organization, the graduates of
the University, whenever they shall
number one hundred, shall be entitled
to fill the place each year, one of the
retiring members.” It fuither add.-,
“It is hoped that this feature will do j
much to ensure constant vigor in the I
admini tration ot the institution’s otii-
ion, good and not evil
this suggested change
Ton of the University.
It is worth thinking of, and we hope it
will be brought before the society at
its next meeting, iu some practical
form. It will, at least, afford subject
matter for an interesting discussion.
Will any one tell us of what ad
vantage it is to the University to have
a long list of the most esteemed and
honorable gentlemen of the State on
the roll of. its trustees, if they even do
not manifest interest sufficient iu the
cause of education to attend the annual
meetings of the Board ? This is notori
ously true in many instances. Such
influence, we maintain, is depressing,
not inspiring. We want now in every
department of the University active,
working men, who are able to think
and willing to work. This is an
active, earnest, working age we live in.
Wonderful activity jiervades all- de
partments of life, but none more than
the great department of education.
All the States arc working vigorously.
Our neighbor, Alabama, has just in
vited the distinguished Maury to take
charge of her University, 'i'he time
has come for the Alumni of the Uni
versity of Georgia to gather around
their Alma Mater—to let their voices
he heard in the legislative halls, and
their influence lie felt throughout the
State, until the University is so liberal
ly endowed that, it may expand to its
full measure of usefulness, and be
surpassed in its appointments hv none
in this broad land.—Macon Telegraph.

the Alumni of the UntTeraitj of Georgia;
We published a few days ago,
article from the Philadelphia Press _
showing that in Yale College a portion * n ’ , .. ,lcl “' ts * ri ‘ “ M i riiui,»i Hotels' in ih«
of the tr»et«es were in future to be
cleeted by the .Uluinn’. This subject
1ms agaiu recurred to our thoughts in
connection wiUi our own Uim-ersity,

L The present a«d future, of the
University depends on the Alumni.
2. To exert proper M&jen^c, they
must he thoroughly «r^aaubed.
3, To maintain Che organization they
must have power, tfciit is, ther must he
able, in some measure, to shape and
control tlie University, by direct re
presentation in the Board of Trus

But it naMvbe answered, tlint the
trustees now generally elect Alumui
and in this wajr the Society js.ulways

still this couccssinn to the Alumni
would be of advantage in giving to,the
Society business to perform, and thus
adding greatly to toe interest of the
JNQeting8, and in causing each Alumnus
to fed a constant interest ta Jos Alma
Mater, arising from Ute responsibility
of his position. If the charter of the
University were so amended, if need
be, as to give to the Society of AJumnS
the power of electing -one-third, or one-
half of the' vacancies in the Board of
