State Democratic Executive Committee
Maoox, May 17, 1876.
The State Democratic Executive Com
mittee are requested to meet in Atlanta,
Wednesday, June 7, for the purpose of
completing the delegation for the State
at large to the National Democratic Con
vention, and for the transaction of other
important business. A full attendance is
necessary, and all members, I hope, will
bo present at said meeting.

The
and
Transportation of Fruits
Vegetables to the West.
In our remarks yesterday in regard to
the transportation of Southern fruits and
vegetables to the West it was notour
purpose either to include or reflect upon
the Southern Express Company, which,
as is well known, has been of material
aid in moving forward to market the pro
ducts of the Southern truck farmer
Moreover, it was not our intention
to reflect upon any express com
pany. The information upon which
our remarks were based we gath
ered from the Florida Dispatch,
a bright little vegetable organ edited by
Col. D. H. Elliott, general agent of the
Dispatch Line. There were no reflec
tions in Col. Elliott’s article in regard to
the matter, and we certainly had no in
centive to indulge in any harsh criticism.
We merely intended to give prominence
to a very important fact, and in doing so
we characterised the restrictions placed
upon Southern vegetables north of Nash
ville as absurd. The Dispatch itself
view3 th6 trouble in a very phi
losophic spirit and alludes to it
only as a little misunderstanding, which,
in all probability, will be easily and satis
factorily adjusted, and that within a very
short time. We have no doubt that such
will be the case. The intent of our article
was to advise vegetable growers in this
section and in Flcrida to turn the bulk
of their shipments in the direction of
the North and East until such time as
Colonel Elliott and his associates can
make the necessary arrangements for a
resumption of the usual traffic with the
West.
“October decides November,” says the
Cincinnati Enquirer, Democratic. To
which t^e Times, of the same city, Re
publican, adds:
This is our own opinion; and if the
Republican Convention puts up the right
kind of a man we shall settle the whole
fight in the preliminary combats of In
diana and Ohio.
Upon which, the Nashville American
remarks: “The effect of the October elec
tions in Indiana and Ohio should not be
misunderstood nor underrated by the
Democracy. The State elections which
preceded the Presidential election in 18G8
and in 1872 forecast the result in Novem
ber with unerring certainty. Governor
Tilden could not possibly add any
Btrength to the State ticket in either
Indiana or Ohio. On the contrary, his
views in favor of the resumption act
would materially weaken the Democracy
in those States. His nomination, there
fore, would be a sad disaster to the
party.”
The Hmllu Rice Question.
On our first page will be found an ar
ticle from the New York Shippinq and
Commercial List on the subject of the
Hawaiian treaty bill now before the Sen
ate, for the free admission of Hawaiian
sugar and rioe into the United States.
It will be observed that the writer holds
the same views in opposition to the bill
that were advanoed in this paper a few
days slnee, and gives some statistics of
the rloe culture in the South in illustra
tion of the manifest Impolicy, not to
say gross injustice, of the proposed
measure. We have suspected that there was
a job in this show of generosity towards
the Hawaiian rioe growers—that there
were involved in it other interests than
either those of international oommerce
and comity, or the welfare of the half-
civilized subjects of King “Coffee.” In
this view of the subject we are somewhat
confirmed by the following extract from
a letter of our Washington corres
pondent. Alluding to the treaty, the
writer says:
“That a Democratic House should
have sanctioned so bare-faced a job as the
Hawaiian treaty is the most surprising
thing of the session. The bringing of
the King (?) to this country was the work
of a lobby in behalf of the sugar re
fineries of San Francisco and some
twenty-five or thirty Yankee sugar plan
ters in the Hawaiian Islands, who will
pocket the million dollars yearly
lost to the revenue under this treaty.
Mr. Cox said the other day he did not see
why the people of the Pacific coast should
not have cheaper sugar, but if he knows
anything of trade and oommerce, he must
know that the consumers will pay as
much for their sugar after the treaty
goes into operation as they did before,
and that the refiners and planters
will divide an increased profit. This
treaty is nothing more nor less than a
Yankee swindle, and was thoroughly ex
posed by Hon. David A. Wells, in a letter
to the New Y'ork Sun, a year or more
ago. His statements have never been
refuted.”
F. O. Prince, the Secretary of the De
mocratic National Committee, has sent a
letter to the Democratic Committee in
St. Louis which has charge of the ar
rangements for the National Democratic
Convention, in which he suggests that
the delegates occupy the centre of the
hall, and that each State delegation be
marked by a distinctive banner; that the
positions of the delegates be assigned by
lot, and that there be room on the stage
for about one hundred distinguished
guests, beside the officers of the conven
tion, the Presidents and Vice Presidents-
Mr. Prince also says that he has invented
a device for a ticket of admission which
will thwart those attempts at forgery
which are always made at National Con
ventions.
Anotheb Mecklenburg Celebration.
At Charlotte, N. C., on Saturday last,
May 20, the one hundred and first anni
versary of the Mecklenburg Declaration
of Independence was observed in a spir
ited and appropriate manner. The pro
ceedings opened with a procession in
whioh the entire fire department, the
“Hornets’ Nest Riflemen” and other uni
formed bodies participated, after which
the Mecklenburg Declaration of Inde
pendence was read by Col. H. C. Jones,
and a patriotic address delivered by Col.
J. P. Thomas. There was a large turn
out of the people, and business was sus
pended during the proceedings.
A Soldier’s Vengeance.—The Spanish
troops in Cuba recently killed a man
named Troilan Garcia, who was formerly
a Spanish soldier, but having had some
punishment inflicted on him by the com
mander of his detachment, deserted to
the rebels, and at the head of a few
chosen men had ever since devoted him
self to the work of revenge on the par
ticular company to which he had be
longed. He had continually lurked in
their neighborhood, picking off one
straggler after another until he had killed
thirty-seven men of the company, be
sides the particular officer who had
punished him.
A plan for compelling the Pacific Rail
road Companies to commence providing
for the payment of their debts to the
government has been matured by the
Qouse Judiciary Committee. It contem
plates, in the case of the Union Pacific,
that $750,000 shall be set apart annually
for ten years, and $1,000,000 annually
thereafter until the sinking fund thus
created shall wipe out the bonds advanced
to the company by the government. It is
proposed to apply an equal ratio of an
nual payments to the total debt to the
other companies.
Religious bigotry is still one of the
leading cards of the Republicans. The
Republican candidate for Attorney Gene
ral in Indiana, in a speech a few evenings
ago, referred to the Israelites as “God
abandoned Jews.” A prominent citizen
of Indianapolis of the Jewish faith re
sponds : “If they are abandoned it is not
for participation in the thieving crimes
of Grant’s Administration.”
Counting the Votes.
Senator Edmunds, of Vermont, pro
poses a new method for counting the
electoral votes cast for President and
Vice-President and announcing the re
suit. His proposition is that the electors
shall send the certificates of their vote to
the Chief Justice of the-Supreme Court
instead of the Fresident of the Senate as
now, and that on a certain day the Chief
Justice shall open and count them in the
presence and with the assistance of the
other Judges of the Supreme Court. If
questions of validity shall arise, or if
there shall be more than one return from
the same State, the Court is to decide on
the spot, being governed by the manifest
right of each case and not by mere
forms. Having completed the count and
determined the result it is to be an
nounced to Congress, and proclamation
made thereof.
The merit of this proposition, says the
St. Louis Republican, is that it takes the
counting of the votes away from Congress
—which being a partisan body might be
tempted to throw out lawful votes or
count unlawful ones, or which, being
divided in its politics as now, might fail
to concur in a count—and lodges it with
a body which is farthest removed from
party influence and commands the respect
of the people. The proposition, however,
involves a constitutional change and can
be adopted only in the form of an amend
ment to the constitution. It is too late
for this to be effected in time to apply to
the count of the next Presidential vote.
The electoral votes cast in the approach
ing contest will have to be counted by
the existing method, and the proceeding
subjected to all the infirmities and haz
ards of that method.
It was sixteen years ago this summer
that the Republican National Convention
resolved “That the people justly view
with alarm the reckless extravagance
which pervades every department of the
Federal Government; that a return to
rigid economy and accountability is in
dispensable to arrest the systematic
plunder of the public Treasury by favored
partisans,” etc. When this arraignment
was made the running expenses of the
government characterized as “reckless
extravagance” were about $60,000,000.
For the fiscal year ending June 30, 1873,
the total net expenditure, exclusive of
redemption of the public debt, amounted
to $274,623,303, or more than four and a
half times as much as in 1860. The
Springfield Republican suggests that it
would show a sense of humor if the
Democrats should now convey this plank
to St. Louis verbatim. This fact, how
ever, is rather one of the absurdities than
the humors of the Republican position.
The Cuban Government on the Yerge
of Bankrnptcv.
The financial measures adopted by the
Captain General and Commissioner sent
to pacify Cuba show the desperate posi
tion to whioh the Spaniards are reduced.
The first of these measures suspends the
payment of all outstanding obligations
of the Cuban Treasury, and accords to
its creditors as a security for their olalma
bonds bearing intereat at the rate of 8
per oent., whioh the London Tims pro
nounces virtual bankruptcy. The second
fixes the expenditure for 1S76--77 at
$62,000,000, while the moat the taxes
can yield is $46,000,000. The third
measure shows the desperation of the
Spaniards by providing for the deficit
with forced requisitions, and to enforce
this act of tyranny the fourth measure
provides as follows:
It is declared that the necessities of
the Treasury endangering the dominion
of Spain over the colony from want of
resources to continue the war against the
insurrection, all dissimulation or unwil
lingness on the part of the tax-payers is
an act of high treason, and, consequently,
what we call contravention in matters of
oustoms or taxation will be treated as
crimes against the State, and judged by
military tribunes only and courts-martial.
The military disasters of the Spaniards
are not more forcible in showing their
weakness than these extraordinary finan
cial measures.

The Pacific Coast Gold Supply.—
Gold coin appears to be circulating more
freely in and around San Francisco, and
according to the Bulletin of that city, it
is now again seen in the channels of re
tail trade and in the payment of salaries.
The following shows the coinage and
movement of gold coin during the past
four months:
-Coined—
San Frau. CarsoD.
January $1,940,000

During the same time last year the
coinage at the San Francisco mint was
only $7,920,000, while the amount ex
ported was $11,377,200. The condition
of the coin supply is much better every
way than it was a year ago, and the pros
pects are encouraging for a large increase
this year in the gold product of the State
and coast. Independent of the amount
of coin received from Nevada, the local
supply is nearly $2,000,000 larger than it
was on the 1st of January.
Belkkap Threatens Impeachment or
Democrats. — A Washington dispatch
says : In case of an affirmative decision
by the Senate as to its jurisdiction in the
Belknap case, efforts are to be made on
the part of the Republicans to secure the
impeachment of several ex-Democratic
officials who, it is claimed, were guilty
while in office of impeachable acts. The
most prominent person mentioned is
Jacob Thompson, President Buchanan’s
Secretary of the Interior, who, it is
charged, made improper use of some of
the Indian trust funds. This charge Mr.
Thompson has always denied. It would
seem to be useless for the Senate to try
him. If he is guilty of the acts charged
the Senate could only pronounce against
disqualification to hold office, and by vir-
tue of the fourteenth amendment he rests
under that ban now.
Hon. L. Q. G. Lamar, pf Mississippi,
has been interviewed by a correspondent
of the Baltimore Gazette, with the follow-
ing result: “He said he could not foretell
who would be the nominee of the St.
Louis convention, and that a number of
worthy gentlemen were mentioned for
the nomination. He had not noticed
that the New York conference had given
Tilden a quasi endorsement. He thought
that Gov. Tilden, as well as others named,
would make acceptable candidates. Bay
ard would make a better candidate, and
be freer of entangling alliances than
candidate from a larger State, but he
could understand how, hailing from
small State, it might injure his chances
in the convention. But it might be said
that while Bayard was from a small State
he had the nation for his constituency.’
The Bbibeb, Spencer, Whitewashed
and Restored to Favor.—A Washington
special to the New Pork Post says
“Senator Spencer is in a happy frame of
mind. For some weeks he has been un
der a political ban, so far as his influence
with the President was concerned. He
wanted the Postmasters at Montgomery,
Alabama, and Mobile, Alabama, removed
for reasons personal to himself, and the
President refused to comply with his re
quest. He has, however, succeeded in
persuading the President to remove the
United States District Attorney for North
ern and Middle Alabama, and to appoint
Charles E. Mayer, the Chairman of the
State Central Committee of Alabama, rep
resenting the Spencer faction. The
nomination has been sent to the Senate,
and is regarded as discreditable.”
Probable Early Adjournment of
Congress.—In the House of Representa
tives on Friday hfr. Morrison, Chairman
of the Committee on Ways and Means,
presented a resolution providing for the
adjournment of the present session of
Congress at 4 o’clock on Monday, the
12th of June. It is understood that this
resolution is the result of a conference of
leading Democrats of the House, and will
prove acceptable to the Republican mem
bers of both houses, who are anxious to
get through the business and adjourn, in
order that they may attend the Republi
can National Convention which meets at
Cincinnati on the 14th of June.
Baltimore, on Thursday, was terribly
excited by a blood-thirsty assault of a
negro—one John Brown—on a lovely
young lady of that city while asleep—
striking her twice upon the head with an
axe. The police had difficulty in pre
venting mob violence. This is the second
occurrence of the kind in Baltimore
within a few months.
The remarkable and incomprehensible
Bunnltaneousness with which several
“leading Southern journals” have broken
oat for Tilden has given rise to the sus
picion that practically his financial policy
as more liberal and less on the contraction
order than has generally been supposed.
It is said that Boors, well-dressed, are
scratching and cutting some of the finest
paintings contributed to the Centennial
exhibition. The doors of the Austrian
section of the Art Building have been
closed, in order to erect barriers against
the advance of vandals. Every man who
lays his hand upon one of the pictures,
even in the way of kindness, ought to
be himself scratched, punched and ex
cluded.
As usual, says the Hartford Times, this
latest sensation story of a wholesale
slaughter of negroes in Louisiana sud
denly collapses. It is now brought down
to “our cat and another one.” Every,
thing is quiet, and “one white man and
two negroes cover the casualities as far
as known. The military have declined
to interfere." Bine iUif laechrymai Eel-
loggi.
The Brooklyn Argus says: “The breach
in the Democratic party of this State
widens daily, and Governor Tilden’s legs
do not appeal to he long enough to be
stride ty chasm."
Hon. W. D. Washburne, brother of
Minister Washburne, recently returned
from a seven months residence in Europe,
says all the Americans abroad, save those
who “have left their country for their
country’s good,” are humiliated bv the
political revelations of the past few
months, and are heartily m sympathy
with the reform movement. They should
prove their sincerity by returning this
fail and voting the Democratic ticket. It
is only in that way they can aid true re
form. There is no such thing as reform
within the Radical party. You can't
make a silk purse out of a sow’s ear.
Rainey, the colored Congressman of
South Carolina, was inadvertently omit
ted from the report of the select com
mittee on the Freedmen’s Bank. A
Washington dispatch says he wants it
understood that he endorses every word
of the report, even where it reflects
seriously upon the early management of
freedmen’s affairs by the Republican
party. He is too intelligent a man not to
realize the fact that his race was most
outrageously swindled under the guise of
patriotism, benevolence and philan
thropy.
Cincinnati has arranged for a religious
Centennial celebration during Whitsun
day week, beginning on Sunday, the 4th
of June. On that day the clergy are to
preach on subjects of their own choosing.
Monday evening, June 5, all the churches
are to be opened for prayer and praise.
The next three days are to be given to
essays, conferences, children’s meetings
and open-air services. Friday is the
Sunday school festival day.
Theodore Thomas Circumvented.—A
Philadelphia dispatch states that Theo
dore Thomas’s Sunday night concerts,
which were to have commenced in that
city last Sunday evening, have been post
poned in consequence of a request of the
Methodist and Baptist congregations ad
jacent to the garden where the concerts
were to take place, the Mayor and city
solicitor advising a compliance with the
request.
THE BLAINE INVESTIGATION.
Washington, May 24.—Amos Curry, of
Little Rock, testified that about five weeks
ago Mr. Robinson told him he had carried a
package of bonds ($25,000) from Josiah
Caldwell and delivered them to Blaine.
Robinson told Curry his understanding was
that these bonds were only an installment
to Blaine. He did not say Caldwell told
him the object of sending these bonds to
Blaine. Curry said he was a member of the
Republican party.
The following colloquy ensued in the com
mittee:
Lawrence—It is a good party.
Hunton—Do you want to prove the repu
tation of the party under oath ?
Blaine—How have the Republicans of
Arkansas for the last year been affected to
wards me personally ?
Witness—I think the feeling is friendly,
owing to your course in the Poland report
concerning affairs in Arkansas.
Blaine—Have you ever heard it declared
that they were going to get even with me?
Witness—I have not.
Blaine—Have you ever heard of my con
nection with the Poland report—that Mr.
Poland was paid money for making it ?
Witness—Yes.
Blaine—That is a part of the Arkansas
gossip, a vast mass of slander dug up from
the depth of corruption in Arkansas. I
want to show by my questions that the wit
ness is acting with a disreputable gang.
Hunton protested against Blaine bringing
Poland’s name in when Poland was not
presaut, and said it was not pertinent to the
investigation.
Blaine—I want to show that the design of
this witness is to smirch and smut me.
Witness—That is lalsein every particular.
Blaine—I can prove it.
Hunton did not think such a course of
examination was according to rule, but
Blaine had the right of proving it.
Blaine—I leave the matter as a question
of veracity between Mr. Curry and Mr.
Robinson.
David B. Sickles, formerly a Director of
the Little Bock and Fort Smith Road, only
knew what Josiah Caldwell told him. The
question whether hearsay testimony should
be taken was referred to the whole com
mittee.
Fry, of Maine, protested earnestly against
asking questions about what others told
witness.
Blaiue wanted the judgment of Congress
on the $64,000 slander. He wanted judg
ment on the point on which he was charged,
namely, that he had au interest in the Ar
kansas bonds that went to the Union Pacific
Railroad Comgaay.
Hunton was not willing to make a report
till satisfied on all points.
Tarbox, who offered the resolution of in
vestigation, said bis aim was to strike some
body in New Hampshire.
Blaine—Yes, bnt it was aimed at me in a
cowardly manner.
LARGE AUCTION BALE.
New Yore, May 24.—There was an auction
sale to-day of six thonsand packages of
domestic dry goods, by order of tho Trea
surers and Directors of the Pepperell Manu
facturing Company, Laconia Company, An
droscoggin Mills, Continental Mills, Bates'
Manufacturing Company, Boston Dock
Company, Warren Cotton Mills, Colnmbia
Manufacturing Company, and other com-
E antes, which attracted a great crowd of
nyers. It became necessary to adjonrn
the sale to larger premises, which were
soon crowded almost to suffocation.
Many of the well-known merchants
of this city, and the representa
tives of leading ffrms in Philadelphia.
Richmond, Baltimore, Washington, Cleve
land, Boston, Chicago and other cities were
present. The member of the firm selling
for the treasurers and directors said it was
the belief of the firm that the timo had
come for a united effort on the part of
merchants to pnt an end if possible to the
prolonged depression which had existed in
the market since the antnmn of 1873, and
that bottom prices Bhouid be ascertained
with a view of induciog a revival of busi
ness. The first entry was a lot of pep
perill “R” blown, in quantities of fire bales,
and was knocked off at 7jc. As lots 2, 3,4,
5 and 6 were offered and sold at prices
a trifle in advance, the excitement increased,
the goods bringing fair prices and the de
mand being so eager that the anotioneer
was repeatedly obliged to rnn the bid in
order to reduce the number of those who
were anxiouB to be served. Prices generally
were considered by disinterested persons to
be fair, denoting no panic in the market,and
beiDg but one and a half to two per cent,
below prevailing rates for the goods sold.

Bagusa, May 24.— Intelligence from the
insurgent camp indicates that in conse
quence of their improved position, result
ing from their recent victories, the insur
gents cannot be satisfied with the conces
sions they demanded. At the conference with
Baron Roderick they demanded the abso
lute independence of Herzegovina and Bos
nia, and scout an armistice. They are ac
tually preparing to proclaim a personal gov
ernment.
THE THUNDERER ON PIERBEPONT.
London, May 24.—The Times, speaking of
Pierrepont’g acceptance, says ; “Bat it mast
be admitted that the appointment does not
carry so distinot a meaning as it would have
done a year ago, previous to the Babcock
trial, nor is it in other ways bo desirable as
that of Mr. Dana.” The article conclndes :
“In the Babcock affair, there is realiy noth
ing more than an error of judgment to be
alleged against Mr. Pierrepont.
THE EASTERN QUESTION.
London, May 24.—A Berlin dispatch to
the Times says private advices from Vienna
state that Count Andrassy, in opposing the
resolution proposed by a member of the Aus :
trian delegation forbidding Austria from
occupying the insurgent provinces, said the
resolution would encourage another powpr
to pursue its selfish interests with impunity.
RADICAL CONVENTIONS.
St. Louis, May 24.—Hon. Milo Blair is
irmanent chairman of the convention,
isolations favoring Morton, Blaine and
Bristow were referred.
Tofeka, May 24.—The convention ap
pointed a committee on permanent organi
zation, and took a recess. The Bentiment
is strong for Blaine.
BAPTIST MISSIONARY UNION.
Buffalo, May 24.—The Baptist Mission
ary Union met, with seven hundred, includ
ing one hundred from the Sonth, present.
Rev. Dr. Barnes Sears, of Stannton, Va.,was

been $221,000. There is still in the treasnry
$53,000.

has received the official returns of the
election of delegates to St. Louis from
only five of the Distriot Conventions.
The returns from the Fourth, Sixth, Sev

forwarded as they should have been. Mr.
Hardeman cannot be blamed for not call
ing the State Committee together at an
earlier day, as he was compelled to wait
for the returns. The offioers of some of
the District Conventions have been very
remiss in the discharge of their duties.

Secretary Robeson must rise to explain.
Gattell’s story leaves that jolly tar in the
lurch. Gattell levied percentages on navy
contracts to the amount of $300,000—a
little circumstance that could hardly have

Cattell also made large loans tp Mr.
Robeson without security. There is
ample reason for further inquiry and for
a sharp examination.

foot high on nearly all the farms in North

Every available hand is hard at work, and
even women are to be seen in many fields
laboring with as mnch earnestness an4
industry as they did in ante-war days.
