TJHJU Wednesday, February 2,1876. OUR WASUIXIM'Oif I.ETTEIt. IT,Oil OUR REGULAR CORRESPONDENT. “Who Runs the Republican Nationai Committee —The President's Slate— Will Guilty Men Escape— A Sweet scented Lot—What Congress is Doing —The Nest President. Since the calling ol the National Republican Convention there has been considerable specu lation as to the significance of the committee's action in designating-ft place for the cohorts to assemble. On general principles it doesn't matter much where the conv “ntion is held, for the belief is growing more universal that none of the candidates likely to be nominated by it could possibly secure an indorsement by the people, yet the usual ceremonies must be gone through with, as a mere matter of form. For some days after the call was issued we lived in an atmosphere of curses from those who sojourn at the nation’s capital. The elements that entered into this manifes tation of temper and the reasons why they “cussed” were as various as the influences to which they severally ascribed their discomfiture. But it is generally conceded that Senator Hor ton dictated the selection ©f Cincinnati, and the result was a feverish activity in Morton presi dential stock. To those who know how these things are done the manipulation of the coni. mittee in Morton’s interest will not appear to deserve any particular significance, further than to indicate that it is a possible point gained in •favor of a Western over an Eastern candidate Morton was present as a member of the commit, tee, with six of his Senatorial coileagues, most ly acting as proxies, and with old Simon Came ron to handle some of the other wax figures the thing was accomplished, though not without a prolonged struggle. Blaine and his friends who were for Philadel phia have exhibited the most disappointment, yet if Blaine had nothing more serious to con tend with than the location of the nominating convention be might be comparatively happy. But since the Amnesty debate, President Grant’s recent remark that -Blame s in nobody’s way,” finds a general echo. Indeed, he is regarded as practically out of the race, his chances, always slim, having been completely annihilated Conservative Republicans who were previously his warmest supporters now express contempt for his insincerity. A‘t the opening of Congress the conspicuous position occupied by thi ex- Speaker was full of possibilities and surrounded by dangers Had lie by the reticence which belongs to statesmanship and the dignity la til ting one who a-pired to he President wailed his opportunity and expressed broad views upon the questions to come up, lie might have won a place in the hearts of the people, even if he did not obtain the indorsement of a party whose leaders are so universally corrupt, itiit he has chosen to wreck his Joriunes upon the most prominent breaker in his course. It is the old, old story : smartness is not greatness, and the Presidential hug in his ear unbalanced his head. Surprise and wonderment have been expressed that so bale third term influence was manifest in the committee. But the way of the politi cian is past finding out, until you s e his slate. Third- teiin ns an original proposi’ion has now but few .pen advocates, but ii is still the second choice of nearly even prominent Candida e in the party. Morton and l.nuit arc cheek by jowl. The projrramui" is tor Morton to make his best fight and show what it amounts to.— He is supposed to be the only man who could divide tiie'Southcrn carpet-bag support with Grant. It he can make a show of strength enough to win lie is o hive Grant’* help, w.th the entire patronage of the Administration at his back, it beini; understood that if elected the President’ll friends shall all be retained. But if he cannot secure the nomination he is to throw all his strength into the balance tor Grant, and third-term then comes to the front in earnest. Until this stage of the proceedings it will not be before the convention. Morton’s “Outrage” speech just delivered in the Senate is in pursuranee ot this programme It bears the inherent marks of a carelully pre pared campaign document, but it fell flat in the Senate and will not even elieet a reply from the Democratic side The amnesty debate had taken the wind a'l out of that sort of thing.— However, the postmaster-editors in Indiana and elsewhere will do well to keep it before the people. Let them air the “bloody-shirt” in ap proved fashion from back attic windows until after the 14th of June—and keep their places. At first tLe Senate refused, on Wednesday, by a vote of 30 to 22 to hear the speech, and then it was Morton’s turn to protanate. He used language more forcible than chaste, and with an ominous cloud upon liis intellectual brow, balanced himself upon his canes and disappear ed. When it became known that the speech was already in print, the Senate reconsidered and called him back. Nobody here believes that the par nership will win. For years the Conservative element of this co tntry has pray erfully awaited the time when an intelligent constituency or an inscrutable Providence should remove 0. P. Morton front the scene, pluck hint, as it were, like a thorn from the side. Until Blaine stole his thunder lie was believed to be the last of the political scalp-hunters, the only relic of a class that flourished when more than ordinary ability strode along with less than ordinary conscience, and this campaign will finish hint- The call itself for this Conven tion is as sweet and gentle as a summer breeze. It talks of economy and a “continued prosecu tion of official corruption,” and would woo the independent and Kef rm voter with words so seductive that we half suspect the Republi can machinery has fallen into new bands. But a glance reveals the same old familliar s'gna tures, at the head is George E Spencer, now under investigation on the charge of purchasing bis seat in the Senate with money belongiug to the Moble post office. Then there is Powell Clayton, of Arkansas, a man of charming char acter ; Packard, of Louisiana, whose fame is flweet-scer.ted ; “Addition, division and silence ’ Kemble, of Pennslyvania, and J. J. Patterson, of South Carolina, another United States Sena- who pays for what he gets, uot excepting his ,eslt * n ® enate When this crowd talks of “re acd “punishing official corruption.” , ‘ warned to keep their hands on their A recent, J r boasted that n.-’Ore official thieves had be n pun ished by the Republican party than by all other parties combined. Tljis may be true, and still leave the worst of t.Vni unpunished. All the other parties never bad so many rascals in Office. The whiskey ring trials are attracting atten tion again. The opinion prevails here that matters have been “fixi and ’ to let the lh evident .- household escape. Some recent movements of a quiet nature and the delay in getting the ease to trial give rise to this opinion Ahij h Ever ist, the successor ot Megrue its pm master ot the St. Louis riug, who bus been ha king i the genial sunshine of Italy dure Ins indictment, has lately returned to Washington, mid numer ous interviews between him and the Attorney General, District Attorney, U;. trot St Louis, et al, lead to the suspicion that ug is to swear Babcock clear. The committee of Congress are hard at work and the results of their iuh-us will slu r ly ap pear The House Committee on Appropriations are prep ring their system of retrenchment, which prorwbe* to be sweeping. A change in the rules of the House was secured on Tuesday which permils amendments to appropriation hi Is when under consideration in the Hoti-e r< - during i-ataries or other txperses Heretofore no amendments were in ord.-r at ibut stage ex , ept those increasing salaries. Mr. Baker of Indiana lots a bill to reduce the pay of Senators and Mt-nibi rs of Congn ss to §3 600 per annum, with no allowance for stationer , miie.tg ■, or other purposes. It, in lodes members of the present Congress. In addition to the reductions proposed by the ' ommitu-e on Appropriations in tile Armv arid N vy the Diplomatic and Con sular service is to be overhauled. All first class missions—Fiance. England, Germany, and Russia are reduced from $17,600 t §14,000; all $12,000 missions to §9.000; all s>o,ooo missions to SB,OOO ; and all $7,500 missions to $6,500. The Grecian mission is abolished, and a consulate is e-tablishe ), with a salary of $2,000 attached. All South American mis ions, except Brazil, which is reduced, are consolidated into two, making Chili and Bolivia one, and Peru, Ecuador, and Columbia another. All consu hues are reduced 10 per cent. Some of the members of th • Foreign Affairs Committee have already assented to and approved the reduction, and Messrs. Randall and Holman say they have the data to sustain the reduction, and that the positive f ets in their possession show that the paring process can be exercised without the slightest injury to the public service. The Ways and Means Committee are understood to have a great surprise in > reparation in the shape cf a revised tariff hill very radical in its changes. It will greatly increase the list of free articles, and change the complicated workings of (he present system so that the number of officials and other machinery can be reduced and the cost of collecting the revenue diminished. Ido not believe, however, as has been stated, that toe Committee will decide to restore the tax on tea and coffee. The Centennial appropriation bill has been under consideration ail the week, devolopiag more opposition than was expected so that its passage does not now seem so cer tain. 1 must refer onee mote to the “Union soldier” nonsense. The Doorkeeper of the Bouse has prepared a statement from his records which shows that of his 110 appointess 30 were ia the Union army and 11 in the Confederate army.— Ninety-foui have taken the iron-clad oath, and sixteen the modified oath The iron-clad oath can only be taken by those who gave no aid or assistance to the rebellion. His list also em braces nine colored meu and one colored won an. So it appears that while the South is a part of the country, and just as much en itled to those appointments as any other section, it has not received a proportion equal to its ratio of Congressmon. Under the Bepubiican Door keeper o; ihe last Congress, w hen the number of employees was 153 instead of 110 there were only 18 Union.soldiers. These are facts taken from the books of the office. I accosted gi one anu nmn attending one of the gallery doors a day or t„o ago, said I, are you one of those Confederates who di-placed a crippled Union soldiers ? “No. sir,” he replied. “I was in the Union army, and lost this at Shiloh,” pointing to his empty sleeve. ‘-A Confederate appointed in ibe last Congress was removed to give me this place,” The gallant -Union soldier,” Mosby, whom the Republicans s > de light to honor, was recently asked what he thought of this outciy. “Its all humbug,” said he. “There are more Confederates occupy ing position-- u..dtr the Government upon my recommendation than all the employees of the House hf Representatives put together.” Ob serve the effrontery of Republican misrepresen tation. The Democratic National Committee does not meet till Kelirury 22 It is generally h lieveil that the convention will be called to n.eet, at Bhiladelp.na Jifly 4. There are no slate.- and nobodv knows who the next, (■resident w ill lie. hut there is a strong sentiment •Tibi- g towards Hendricks and Banks. That would be an in vincible ticket .Since his eloquent amnesty spe ih General Banks has been rapidly gaining in popularity among conse.valive tlciueiils of all parties and sections. SPEAKER KERR. Speaker Kerr lias written it letter dat ed the 25th to J. H. Real, saying itisjiot his desire that his name shall be used in connection with a National ticket this year. The following is the full text of Speaker Kerr’s letter to Mr J. H. deal: Washington, D. C., January 25, IS76.—J. H. Real, Esq., Philadelphia- —Dear Sir: Several days ago I received by mail, accompanied with your ca*d, an article over your name published in the Delaware County Democrat, of December 30th list 1 perused the article with much interest, and many of its views command my un qualified approval, but I have only time now to thank you for your very kind re ference to t -e in that article, and say that it is not my desire, in any degree whatever, that my name shall be used in conneciion with the National ticket of this year. The Indiana Democracy will present to our next National Convention another of her sons as a candidate for the Presidency—Governor Hendricks— in whose advocacy for that high place I will stand with them in hearty co opera tion My judgment is that our friends this year cannot do better, if so well, than to nominate Governor Hendiicks. I am with great respect, very truly yours, M. C. Kerb. A New Financial Scheme.— Mr. Tucker of Virginia, introduced a bill in the House on Thursday for the es ablish raent of an exchequer, which, it is claimed by its-author and supporters, will tend to the gradual resumption of specie payments The bill provides *or the organization of a body corporate, to be styled the Governor of and Managers of the Exchequer of the United States of America, being some thing similar in intent to the Bank of England. The capital of the exchequer is to be one hundred million dollars, divided into shares of one thousand dollars each, and subscription books therefore are to be opened in the leading cities of the United States. National banks may come into the organization by subscribing the whole or any part of its capital and consolidate into the ex chequer, the subscript'ous to be payable three-fourths in legal-tender and one fourth iu coin. Branches are provided for. - Gon. Toombs made a speech in Atlanta Lst weeft.

HAST COUNTY DEPARTMENT. BY OTJK SFECIAL CORRESPONDENT. [LAmAVELjTTTnrrrTTT^r^ What I Know About Cotton! I know that cotton nicely packed and covered all over, is worth 1 2 cent u pound more than that with a little bag ging tightly stretched on the sides with a wide stripe left for the cows to*eat and to get soaked in the mud and filth. I know that a bale of cotton weighing un der 350 pounds is called a pocket, and sells from 1 1-2 tc 2 cents a pound less than a bale. Bagging and ties pay the farmer a good profit, and common sense ought to teach them that it is to their interest to use as much as the law allows. I know a farmer had far better throw away all his yellow coctou than to mix it with his white otton. X know tole cotton seldom brings as much as other cotton, from the fact that the ginner generally mixes all sorts together. If they would assort it, pack each kind together, it would pay for all the trouble. The eye has much to do with the sale of every thing. In buying goods I once saw ! white cotton handkerchiefs that were good i put up in rolls with string around them at §1 00 per dozen, but preferred to pay I $1 50 per dozen for an article not near I so good from the fact they were ironed out nicely, packed in a handsome paper box with a lady or some other pretty picture on the box New Way to Make Soap. A few Sundays a;o an old gentleman stepped into Benson & Co’s, counting room. They have a small printing press and keep strong lye to wash the type, so happened that a bottle with Harter’s Cherry Bitters label on it was on the desk ; it looked red, clear and pretty. No one in the counting room but him self, and, feeling badly, thought a dose of the bitters would be good for him, took a good pull; soon found it was any thing but bitters; upon examining the bottle found Lye written on one corner of the bottle. There being a big bottle of sweet oil near by the idea struck him that lye and grease made soap ; drank a big draftof the oil and for a week expec torated first rate shaving cream. There are several pretty lots on the square at the Hartwell Camp Ground not yet taken. Any one who will build a tent can get a lot free of charge. Will not some of the Elbert county people come np and pitch their tents with us f We want a hundred tents completed by next Camp meeting. Lumber is cheap and saw mills convenient. We mention the matter thus early that you may have ample time to make preparation. The next camp meeting will come oft’ about 15th Oct. 1876. Dogs have became a great nuisance in this town- We have them of all sizes, ages and coV-rs. It is strange how much fuss a little “purp” about the size of a rat can start np. One simple little bark from him sets the whole communi ty of do£B to business. They keep us awake rendering our nights hideous*with their howls. Wish the Legislature would pass a law taxing dogs live dol lars a head and prohibiting any family from having over five dogs. An old darkey in town this week who was accused of taking uff another man’s coat come aronud to prove his charac ter. He said he was very much “inter ested" and din’t want “expi ion” on his good name. Though he acknowledged it did look somewhat “expitious’’ as the coat was found in his wagon in a box with other goods. There is a petition in the store of Messrs. Scott & McCurry, praying the P. SI General to extend to this, place the mail running from Tuceoa City to Parker’s Store. Hope every body in the county will sign it, as this would greatly increase our mail facilities. Toccoa is our nearest depot for all western freights. Still Aaother New Store. Dr. C. A Webb is opening a splendid stock of Groceries and Planters supplies, at the house lately occupied by Messrs. Williams & Benson. That’s right—bring on all the competition you please, and we’ll get sugar and coffee at our own prices. The Doctor promises to sell at ‘•Rockbottom prices” for cash. This is a live time with oar bidders for mail contracts. A gentleman in this county, who is now running several mail routs, put in bids for forty one routs last week. He seems to Ike the business. Our merchants are getting cotton off to market with a rush this week. Dart to it iiiii emails. .j. BOOT AND SHOE MAKER HARTWELL, A.
