The Political Outlook.
New Hampshire has opened the po
litical campaign with a glorious Demo
cratic victory, and the signs now are
very encouraging that Connecticut will
this week follow the example of New
Hamjrshire and roll up a substantial
Democratic majority. If this should be
the case, Radical victories this year will
be few and far between. There is now a
fan - prospect of a general resurrection of
the dead Democracy all over the North
and West. We should not be much
surprised even if the iron ribbed radical
ism of old Massachusetts should cave in.
The curruption of the present adminis
tration is so rank it smells to Heaven,
and stinks in the nostrils of the people,
except the few in Virginia and Georgia
who according to" the Atlanta Her
ald are looking out for the coming of that
new party, with Grant and Ben Butler at
its head and some Southern politicians at
its tail. But the honest Democracy will
not be drawn away from their party by
any such political kite as that raised by
the Atlanta Herald.
The General demoralization of the
American People.
Never before since the foundation of
our government has robbery, theft, fraud
and swindling been so prevalent in the
land; and never before has murder and
suicides been so common. Every friend
of humanity is interested in the inquiry,
“Wliat has caused this deplorable state
of society ?” We believe that in a great
measure the government is responsible
for this demoralization of the people.—
People are prone to follow the example
of those in high position. And when it
has been proven that many of the oldest
Senators—men too making great preten
sions to piety—have been guilty of giving
and taking bribes, and of defrauding and
swindling the government in various
ways, and have become rich and prosper
ous by their vices, is it at all wonderful
that others should be encouraged to fol
low their example ? Now honesty in
some communities is scoffed at as a thing
of the past and lit only for old fogies and
fools; Christian soldiers, Christian states
men and Christian bankers are associated
with Howard, Colfax and Henry D. Cook.
Nor has the once sacred seat of justice,
the Judiciary, escaped the contaminating
influence of the times. Several of the
United States Judges have had articles
of impeachment preferred against them.
The present administration is a cheat and
swindle from beginning to end. Many
of those in authority were elected by
fraud and false counting, or by bribery
and corruption. The whole financial sys
tem is a fraud and a he, and each green
back carries a he upon its face. It prom
ises to pay but never does. It does not
even tell when or where. Can it be sur
prising that the people should be demor
alized when the government has set the
example? If these things continue we
must look for a great upheaval of society,
and a revolution in politics, religion and
morality as the result, and mobs com
munes and labor strikes will soon become
the order of the day.
Cotton Manufactories.
We believe it has been demonstrated to
the satisfaction of every one that has ex
amined the subject that cotton manufac
tories in Georgia, when well managed,
pay better than any other branch of in-
du,-try. The cotton mills of Augusta pay
a larger dividend, it is said, than any
other factoiy of the same kind and da
mensions in the United States. The Col
umbus mills are also flourishing, and all
the cotton mills in Georgia so far as we
have heard are doing well. We have
water power near Miiledgeville, sufficient
to drive several large factories, but it lias
never been utilized. If some individual
or company with capital would build
cotton factories on the shoals of the
Oconee, above Miiledgeville, we have no
doubt they would find it a paying busi
ness. Will not some enterprising indi
vidual put the ball in motion? All that is
wanting is for some one to start the thing,
and after it was once started it would
soon win golden opinions and pay golden
dividends.
Corresppndence.
LaGrange, Ga., March 30tli, 1874.
Mr. B. W. Wbenn—
Dear Sir—The Southern Baptist
Convention meets at Jefferson, Texas,
on the 7th of May, and I hereby bespeak
your influence in getting up Excursion
Tickets at one fare for Delegates and
visitors from Atlanta to Jefferson, good
for 30 days. I hope the increased num
ber who will attend the Convention will
justify the issuing of these ground trip
tickets, especially as the arrangement
will be generally made known by the
Press in Georgia, Alabama and South
Carolina, and also by the Pastors of Bap
tist Churches. The Railroads in Texas
have generously tendered free passes
over the entire State to Delegates and
visitors, and if you can secure the Excur
sion Tickets doubtless a great many will
be induced to go who otherwise would
not attend.
Trulv Yours,
W. O. TUGGLE
It iB said to be a bad rule that cannot
work both way s. Tiw seems to be the
case with Reconstruction. The Congress
of the United States could inflict insult
and infamy upon South Carolina and
Louisiana, but assumes to be powerless
in undoing the wrongs thus imposed.—
What a sad confession that is! The
President does not see what can be done
to help South Carolina by himself or
Congress, although deeply sympathizing
with her condition. NY e admit that the
case is a difficult one to solve, and made
the more difficult by departure from tbe
Constitution originally. To crush South
Carolina, after the war, it was necessary
for Tliad'deus Stevens, Charles Sumner
and their henchmen to operate “outside
the Constitution.” Now that their fell
purpose lias been accomplished, it is sud
denly discovered that State rights, which
it was supposed the war had destroyed
are the chief barriers to redeeming a
commonwealth from barbarism, into
which an utter disregard of those rights
had plunged it. The Richmond Dispatch
says on this point i
What a monstrous fact! And South
Carolina we call one of the original thir
teen associated States that achieved Amer
ican independence, and she is asked to
take part in the celebration of the centen
nial anniversary of the day of the estab
lishment of that independence. How
much better for her had it never been
known! What were the grievances of
the colonies compared to those of South
Carolina—nay, every Southern State—
now suffers from the Government under
which we live ? Ah ! if a better condition
of things does not come about before that
hundredth anniversary arrives it would be
more fit for a day of curses than blessings
in South Carolina, and indeed the vivas
with which it may be hailed in Philadel
phia should stick in the throats of those
who utter them. Independence and lib
erty indeed! What crimes have not been
committed in their names ?
It may be indeed that neither President
nor Congress can find any Constitutional
remedy, and that it would be an interfer
ence with the sacred rights of a sovereign
State to apply outside pressure ? This
may be very true ; but what a pity such
scrupulous regard for State Rights did not
exist all the time from 1860 -61 to the
present day! Wliat a world of trouble
would have been saved had such rights
been always respected ! What a world
of trouble there is yet to come because of
the violation of those rights !

W. O. Tuggle, Seo’y, LaGrange, Ga.—
Dear Sir : I am this day in receipt
of your favor of the 30th, asking that we
pass delegates and others desiring to be
present at the Convention of the Baptist
Church to be held at Jefferson, Texas, on
the 7th of May, at one fare, and in reply
I am directed by the Superintendent to
nay, that on April 25th we will put on
sale at our Ticket Office, Union Passen
ger Depot, Atlanta, Round Trip Tickets
to Texarkana, good to return, if -presen
ted before June 10th, 1874, at the very
low price of $38.85. These tickets will
be sold to all persons desiring to be pres-
ent at the Convention. It i 8 proper that
I call your attention to the important
fact, that the completion of the Texas &
Pacific Railroad to Texarkana, gives this
line the shortest and only All Rail Route
to Jefferson by over 650 miles, as
compared with any other Rail line. As
you state in your letter, that the Texas
Roads have agreed to pass all persons to
the Convention free, it will only be neces
sary for delegates and others desiring to
go, to buy the tickets to Texarkana and
return. Any information desired as. to
schedule, will be furnished upon
application. If the number jiurtififfi it,

Stowed Away in Barrels.
A Cuban gentleman, who arrived in
New York, Saturday, gives the following
remarkable account of his escape from the
hands of the Spaniards in the city of Hav
ana. Last month he was drafted into the
army under the new Conscription law,
and, together with some 300 others, all
Cubans, were confined in the barracks
known as the Cuartel de la Fuerza, in the
Plaza de Armas, in the city of Havana.—
Within a few days they were to be sent to
the front to fight against their fellow-
countrymen, and although the chances
were desperate, some of them determined
to effect their escape. In order to gain
communication with their friends outside
they began to study the disposition of
the sentinels who were put over them.—
Among these was one who was fond of
his “aguadiente,” and the conspirators
gave him many little presents to buy liq
nor to secure liis favor. They began by
him to let two or three go out at a time
for a walk, and were always prompt in
tlicir return at the hour agreed upon —
Then they spoke to a Catalan about get
ting away from the island. At last they
learned that on a certain day a steamer
would sail for a port in the United States
and the Catalan agreed to put them on
board. At 8 o’clock that night the favor
ite sentinel was on post, and they asked
permission to take an airing. It was
granted and tliirteen of them were al
lowed to pass out, under a promise to
return at 10 o’clock, in time for roll-call.—
As soon as they found themselves in the
street each went to his home. Then ac
cording to appointment, they met the
Catalan in a Coffee-house. He conveyed
them, in parties of three and four at a
time to the steamer. When they were
all on board they paid him what they had
agreed upon, §125 in currency each. The
captain of the steamer then informed
them that as he was exposed to a fine of
§500 for every passenger found on board
without a passport, he would have to
charge them §68 in gold apiece, and that
they would have to promise to submit to
any precautionary measure, he should see
tit to adopt. This they agreed to, and the
captain then said, Now, gentlemen, you
will have to get into barrels and be head
ed up and put with the rest of the cargo.”
Thirteen flour barrels, tilled with oranges
were then emptied and the Cubans got
into them ; the heads of the barrels were
then replaced and secured, and they were
put in tiers with many other barrels of
oranges on top of them. One poor re
fugee was too fat, and could not manage
to squeeze himself into the barrel. This
unfortunate had to go ashore, as the cap
tain was afr aid to carry him in any other
way. The hold of the vessel was suffo
catingly hot, and the wretched passengers
suffered untold tortures in the barrels.
They were stowed away at 12 o’clofik, and
the steamer did not leave until 4. Every
little while the captain would go into the
hold and say, “We ll go in a few miuutes,
now, but for four hours did the torture
last. One of them called out from his
barrel that lie could not bear it rnd| that
he must be let out. The others adjured him
to hold his peace, as their safety depend
ed on his fortitude. He consented to
make a new effort, and to try to stand it
a little longer. While they were anxious
ly awaiting the sailing of the vessel, they
heard the police officers come on board.
They went down into the hold of the ves
sel, and carefully searched every nook and
corner for stowaways. They opened sev
eral barrels, but finding nothing but
oranges, at last came to the conclusion
that all was right, and went ashore.
When the vessel got outside of the “Mor-
ro,” the refugees were released, more
dead than alive. Some of them were so
badly cramped that they could not as
sume an erect position for many days
afterward. The names of the refugees
are not given for obvious reasons.

The Eastman Atlanta Business
College.
This institution has achieved a success
which is unparalleled in the history of
Commercial Colleges. Starting in Atlanta
Ga., May 9th, 1871, with four students, it
has already sent out to the business world
nearly THREE HUNDRED STUDENTS
to attest its superior merits. The secret
of its wonderful success is, 1st it is the
only College in the South that is conduc
ted on the Actual Business Plan. 2nd, it
keeps up, to the letter of its advertise
ments; 3d, it is conducted by men who
have had year's of experience as practical
accounts, business men and teachers. Thd
total cost for a fall course, including
board, washing,tuition, books and station
ery, will not exceed $130. For specimens

The Herald says the only ticket held

Louisville lottery “was owned by a club
that had invested §675 in the enterprise,
having bought three whole tickets and
twenty-one half tickets. They drew one

compensation, except a moral lesson.

tillage and fruitful harvests was never

Pitaiaa’a PkiiogripbT lias hitherto been con
filtered the shortest, most perfect and rapid system of
Short-hand Writing. It, however, has several and im
portant defects; being difficult to learu on account ol
its numerous rules, with an array of exceptions to
them, and from the fact that several sounds have i
multiplicity of signs, which are apt to delay and con
fuse even an experienced writer, who lias to think
which form he should use when be ought to be free
from all thought except as to what the speaker is say
icg. These defects, and tlie necessity of a more sim
pie and uniform system, have led to tlie perfection of
a new system known as Edeography, (derived from
two Greek words meaning pleasant writing,) which is
free from all irregularities, and is much easier, and
thirty per cent, shorter than Pitman’s. The whole
principle of this new art may be acquired in a feu-
days, and a month's practice oi one hour daily in read
ing and writing will enable auy one to use it with facil

Sustain the Sinking System
The flashes of excitement produced by the stimulants
of ordinary use, are followed by a reaction that is al
ways more or less injurious. Just as the darkness,
illuminated for a moment by the lightning's glare be
comes apparently blacker than ever after tbe flash is
over, so the mental gloom and physical debility that
vanish temporarily under the influence of a dram, re
turn with a ten-fold intensity when the first transient
effect ceases. Yet physicians habitually prescribe the
liquors of commerce for patients suffering from bodily
weakness aud mental despondency. The trne remedy
in snch cases is a pure stimulant medicated with the
finest touics and alteratives which the vegetable king
dora affords, and Hostetter’s Stomach Hitters ii the
only preparation at present known which metis the
emergency. The effect of this popular reslorutive is
continuous. Each dose taken invigorates tbe vital en
ergies and the brain, and its prolorged nse will un
questionably cure any case of debility, hypochondria,
or mental torpidity that docs not arise lroin organic
causes beyond the leach of medicine. It is in the
strictest sense of the word, an invigorating aud icgu
latiug cordial. If the nerves are tremulous and re
laxed, it relieves them ; if the bowels are constipated,
it relieves them ; if tbe liver is lorpiJ, it promotes ac
tivity in that organ; if the mind is gloomy, it clears
away tbe clouds ; if the appetite is poor and digestion
a slow aud painful operation, it creates a relish fur food
aud enables the stou.ach to convert it into healthful
aiimeut. Moreover, it is a specific fora targe number
of ailments, some of which are particularly prevalent
in the damp aud chilly weather which we so often ex
perience in mid whiter. Among these may be men
tioned rheumatism, chills and fever and all the morbid
conditions of the digestive and secretive organs super
induced by sudden charges of temperature and the
inclemencies of the season. 301m

have settled the public jiiind to expect an
increased volume of currency, and though
in some sections financiers and bankers
are protesting against such a measure,
the commercial circles of thtffi cquatry
are preparing for it. Upon fhis issue the
South and the West have stood together.
There in a bond of sympathy between
them, as both are under the financial
domination of the East and neither
section has a sufficiency of currency to
transact its legitimate business or to
lower the rates of interest Our own
opinion is that it would have been better
to force a return to specie payments, and
thus make gold and silver a circulating
medium. We were so near the point
that it seems a pity to go back, particu
larly as the worst of the suffering is over.

But the South, if site is wise, may be
benefitted by inflation. Her agricultural
and industrial interests are depressed.
Her people by borrowing northern capi
tal at high rates of interest have been
brought face to face with absolute finan
cial ruin. Property of all kinds is far
below its real value, and whenever forced
to a sale sells for a song. Southern men
cannot hope to wipe out under the pres
ent system their indebtedness dollar for
dollar. If the currency is inflated, it is
but reasonable to expect an inflation in
every thing else in proportion. The
Southern lands now almost without
marketable value may be expected to
appreciate in price. If the Southern
planter will take advantage of this, sell a
portion of his possessions, live economi
cally, and limit his crops, he may, when
the next financial crash comes, as come

they dared take such a step a “general

statute books of the nation. It is fear,
and not a want of inclination, which re
strain snch action.
The Senator who complains so bitter
ly of the unbridled license of a black
guard press, hints that if such an act is
not framed, every injured man must make
a law unto himself, and asks if any jury
could have been found to convict Senator
Carpenter if he had killed Ramsdell or
WmTELAw Reid, Got. Sheperd if he had
killed Dana, or any member of President
Grant’s family who had exterminated Don
Piatt? This is by no means anew idea.
Many men have made a law unto them
selves and resorted to personal violence
to avenge newspaper assaults. But we
have never heard of a public man making
anything by the adoption of such a pro
gramme. Before the war the journalists
of the South and the Southwest carried
their lives in their hands, expected, not
without reason, a pistol shot or a stab as
the only answer to an objectionable ar
ticle. But it was not found that making

The produce and commission merchants

According to the report of the Wharf
Master, there were unloaded Saturday

bushels of com each, giving a total of a
bout 22,000 bushels of grain, mostly com,
and 25,000 pounds of bacon. According
to the same authority there yet remain

This would make the total arrivals of
com within the past three days about
100,000 bushels.
A very large quantity of eggs, butter,
chickens, etc., has also been brought down
by the boats on this rise.
Com was quoted yesterday at 70a 71
cents at the wharf. We received a pos
tal card from a Rome (Ga.) Commission
house quoting it at, 8Sa90, which would
make the price in the depot here about
74 a 75. Still, even at this price, it is a
good paying crop, as the basis for sev eral
years here has been 50 cents, and 70 cents
at the wharf, is a better price than has
prevailed for several years with such a flat
boat fleet as is here now.
Bacon and wheat are unchanged since

The season is at hand now when al

Why should newspapers be censured for
publishing the truth? Is it to be asserted
that a public officer can violate every com
mand of the decalogue with impunity
while Jones or Smith ore dragged before
the public and exhibited as thieves and
perjurers?
Now, take the other side of the case,
and how many “slanders” have the “black
guard" papers published concerning men
of integrity and honor?—What correspon
dent has written anght against such men
as Thurman, Stockton, Bayard, Gordon,
Norwood, or Beck? The Democratic jour
nals have opposed Schurz, Fenton, Fes
senden. Hamlin, Edmonds, Sumner, Lo
gan, Banks and Hoar, but when did they
ever attack their private characters? Hon
orable men have never had anything to
fear from the liberty or license of the
press. They have not asked and do not
ask any other or greater protection than
the laws now afford against wanton and
malicious assaults.
The trouble lies not with the newspas
pers, but with tlie men who wish to mnz-
zle them. It is the truth of the publica
tions which offends, and not their falsi
ty.—Chronicle & Sentinel.
At the cartridge works in Lowell, Mass.,
the other day, Susan Gilder was putting
cartridges into a large box, when they ex
ploded; aud, though she was hit by over a
hundred bullets, not on of them made a
mortal wound: and, what is just as singu
lar, though others were in the room at
the time, no one else was even “barked”
by a passing ball, but the windows were
blown out. The girl was badly burned,
but will recover.
