Uncle Joe Medill. of the Chicago 7ri-

the llrraid, by keeping one of its ablest,
roost skillful, and »>C8t_ paid correspon
dents constantly w)th General Grant in
Europe, to magnify all he says, to cm
Imllish much that he does not say, to ex
etrine the prerogative of a reporter and
make him say what he ought to say
carefully eliminating all foolishness and
small talk from his conversations and
speeches—is doing more stimulate
the third term movement than all
the other newspapers combined.
Uncle Joe talks that way now,
tiecaiisc, with his present lights, he is
not certain that it would be a judicious
move on the part of the Radical party to
make Grant their standard-bearer
in 1H80. Joey is a little scary of
the third lerm scheme just now. But
wait till Grant returns from Europe as
the first Napoleon returned from Elba,
anti i* received by the whisky rings, the
money monopolists, the bondholders,
and the grand army of office seekers,
with an ovation such a* the world Las
never seen, and Joey will be among the

the nation, and his JYibune will be among
Hie loudest iu demanding his nomination

Kellogg. ,Sherman, and other Republi-
eans testify that there were more votes
|K)llod for the Tilden than the Hayes
ticket iu Louisiana. But they justify the
action of the returning board in throw
ing out over 8,000 majority on the
ground that there were disturbances and
intimidation. The evidence, however,
is conclusive that there was never a more
peaceful election ia any State than in
I»uisiana on the 6th of November, 1876.
It is also proved that the Republicans
arranged to have voters of their party
remain away from the polls in one or
two Democratic parishes, so that they
might take their evidence and have an
excuse for throwing out the votes of
those parishes. The visiting statesmen
dwell upon the “lawful" sets of the re
turning board. The laws of that State,
under lwyonet rule, were made for thg
purpose of defeating and defrauding the
people. But in 1876 even those laws
were violated.
■r. Stephen Blags and Ceraers.
In his recent address to tbe people of
Lexington, Georgia, Hon. A H. Steph
ens uttered some striking truth* on tbe
subject of the corrupt “rings" which
hare cursed the country and controlled
the government during the past ten years.
Alluding to them be said «
"But. my friends, there is another
thing. The wot Id is governed too much
by corners and rings. There is a ring
combination of wheat men—a wheat
corner. there is a meat corner and a corn
corner. These are organized rings. They
control the prices of the wheat crop, they
simply fix the figures and put their own
prices on them There are also cotton
corners. They know how much cotton
is to be made. They w&tcb it as ODe
would watch the bee* working through a
glass beehive. They know how much
honey is to be made, and they take it
out, leaving lust enough to keep the
bees alive. [Laughter.] They don't
leave enough to the farmer to support a
dead mule * hide. Rings govern every
thing We want to break them down:
the whole thing must be broken. My
course has been against them and that's
whv. perhaps, they don’t want me back
in Congress. Their lobbyists are organ
ized against the toiling millions of the
country. I am not stirring up strife
against capital; but you must send men
to Congress whom you know to be hon
est—men of ab.litv and integrity (and I
d" not say this in reference to myself)
who will break down these rings if they
can. ” (Great cheering.)
Such sound Democratic sentiments are
none the less worthy of commendation
and applause because they are uttered
by an admirer and defender of General
Grant, the head centre of all the “rings'
and “corners," of the “whisky ring" and
the “black Friday comer," and of the
■rganized banditti who, under bis admin
1st rat ion. were protected by Federal
courts and bayonets while they set State
governments and laws at defiance and
robbed and plundered “the toiling mil
lions of the country" with ruthless im
punity.
Mr. Stephens says ‘ 'rings govern every
thing,” that “we want to break them
down," that “the whole thing must be
broken." Mr. Stephens never spoke a
greater truth. But if we are to break up
this organized system of corrupt rings
and corners it must be by organized op
position to them. They have already
proved themselves stronger than the gov
ernment which tolerated them, and if
they are to be broken it must be by an
organised power stronger than them
selves. Where is the country- to look for
such an organized power but in
the united, harmonious. National
Democratic party ? While that
party controlled the government the
country was prosperous, and ring rule
in tbe administration of the government
was unknown. If the government is
ever brought back to its original purity,
if "rings" and “corners" are ever de
prived of their power for evil and the
“toiling millions of the country" reliev
ed from tbe grinding oppression which
Mr. Stephens has so vividly described, it
will not be accomplished by individual
effort, not by statesmen who “tote their
own skillet," but by the patriotic- efforts
of a united, harmonious and resolute
National Democratic- party.
Hsseit Ms Sherui as a Visiting
Governor Rice, of Massachusetts,
doesn't believe in competitive examina
tions. He was one of the first to suggest
such examinations for West Point and
Annapolis appointments, but be soon
found that those lads who had good
memories and little energy of character,
succeeded in getting the appointments,
and generally proved utter failures u*
military or naval men. In fact, some of
i he rejected lads at these competitive ex
aminations. who were afterward appoint
ed to fill the place of the big memoried
failures, turned out admirable officers.
-• It want's a boy with go-abead and good
grit, and not a gentle lad with a big head,
for a military officer,” says the Governor,
who adds: “A boy may have the making
of a college professor in him, but it
won't do to attempt to make a general
of him.’’
Right or a Bank to Protect Itself.
—In tbe suit of Jacob against the First
National Bank of Cincinnati, recently
tried in the Superior Court of Cincinnati,
the court decided that where a bank re
ceives on deposit, as cash, sight drafts
of a depositor, the bank is not bound to
pay checks drawn against the fund after
default in the payment of the drafts.
The implied condition is that the drafts
are to be paid, and when the condition is
broken the bank has a right to withdraw
its credit, and this right is superior to
that of the depositor to check against the
credit fund.
In the course of his examination be
fore the Potter Committee the other day,
Honest John Sherman produced a couple
of letters, which, though cautiously writ
ten. throw a gleam of light on the vil
laioous conspiracy by which Tilden was
defrauded of the electoral vote of Loui
siana while they reveal the fact that
Shennan was present in Louisiana for
the double purpose of holding Hayes up
to the conspiracy, and, by his counsel,
assistance, bribes, and promises
stiffen the returning board in the
perpetration of the frauds which
were necessary to secure his
accession to the Presidency. It will be
seen from these letters that if Hayes at
that time had qualms of conscience, and
was inclined to shrink from a participa
tion in the meditated villainy of his par
tisans. it was the business of Shennan to
reassure and encourage him to stand firm,
while he and his confederates were
"gathering" the fraudulent “testimony
and putting it in the legal form" to con
su inmate the fraud. Sherman's letter
shows what was the true mission of the
visiting statesmen in Louisiana, and as
such is a valuable contribution to tbe
history of the most stupendous fraud of
the century. For this reason we present
the letters entire, without further com
ment:
It is now tbe Moslems' turn to report
blood-curdling outrages, anti they are
making the most of it. A dispatch from
Constantinople say# that the British
Embassy there '' has received official re
ports of continued wanton destruction
of Mussulman life and property in the
Phitlippopolis district by the Bulgarians
and Russians. Tbe horrors committed
are so revolting that their publication
must create conviction that unless a
remedy is found the new condition of
the country will be more deplorable than
under Moslem domination."
Certain parties in Xew York are
urging that the government make a prac
tical test of actual resumption by placing
the hands of the Assistant Treasurer
at New York a million or a million and a
half of coin, with instructions to pay it
out freely upon demand. In this way, it is
claimed, the now merely nominal prem
ium on gold could be broken, and the
return to specie basis be an accomplished
fact.
Judge O. M. Roberts, who has been
nominated by the Democrats for Gov
ernor of Texas, L an old Texan, has
represented the republic iq its Congress,
was President of the convention that
passed the ordinance of secession, was
elected United States Senator after the
war at the time Throckmorton was made
Governor, and was removed from office
by lh£ United States military' authorities.

Hakmi.es* Dueling.—The latest way
of fighting a duel is to load the weapon
without eitiici “hot or ball. This method
was tried the other day 12 Chio with the

themselves as thoroughly satisfied, their
honor having been vindicated.
State or Louisiana, Ex. Department,
New Orleans, November 23,1876.
Mt Dear Sib—I have not written yoa
sooner, for the progress of our visitation
will be known to you through the papers
sooner than from my letter, and the tele
graph office here is more public than a Sher-
iff'ssale. We sometimes hear of private
telegram* before they are delivered. The
action of the returning board has thus far
been open aad fair, and only confirms the
general result shown before. We are now
approaching the contested parishes. To five
„f them viz : Baton Rouge, East and West
Feliciana. Morehouse and Ouachita, the evi
dence of intimidation is so well made out
on paper that no man can doubt as to the
just exclusion of their vote. In these par
ishes alone we ought to have a majority of
7,000, but under the law the entire return
must be excluded of all election districts
where intimidation has affected or changed
the result. If this is done the result will
give the Hayes electors majorities aggre
gating 24,111 and the Tilden electors £j.B33.
but in almost every parish the offlfl) re
turn varies somewhat from the stated ma
jorities. and thus far slightly reduces the
Republican majority. The vote of each dis
puted parish has thus far been laid aside,
and among them are two parishes where
most foolish blunder or something
worse was made in omitting from
the Republican tickets the names
of all the electors but the two Senatorial
and one district elector. The Democrats
•Jaim this will lose over two thousand votes;
>ut our friends, whose iuformation we have
generally found confirmed, say It will lose
ut at most 1,193 votes. The law seems con
clusive, that the defective ballots cannot, be
counted for any electors but those named
on the ticket, though it is conclusively
shown that tbe remaining electors were
omitted by reason of tbe mistaken idea that
the district could only vote for one elector.
The whole trouble has grown out of the
fact that in these two parishes a candidate
for District Judge was not named on the
ticket printed by the State Committee. We
undertook to correct this by printing new
tickets, which were voted in those parishes.
The result of this blunder will leave the poll
so close as to render it probable that one or
more of the Tilden electors would have a
majority. There are other parishes where
the organized intimidation was not so
general as in the parishes named, though in
single election precincts it was effective.
These parishes where- formal protests have
been tiled are Bienville, Bessier, Caldwell,
Franklin, Grant, Iberia. Lincoln, Richland
and Sabine. How far the proof in
these parishes will sustain the pro
tests we cannot judge till the evi
dence is heard before the returning board.
We are now collecting the testimony as to
the bulldozed parishes. It seems more like
the history of hell than of civilized and
Christian communities. The means adopted
are almost incredible, but were fearfully
cflselH* nos an Ignorant and suiierstitious
people. That you would have received at
a fair election a large majority in Louisiana
no honest man can question ; that you did
not receive a majority is equally clear. But
that intimidation of the very- kind and ua-
ture provided against by the Louisiana law
did enter into and control the election in
more election polls than would change the
result and give you the vote, I believe as
firmly as that I write this. The difficulty of
gathering this testimony and putting it in
the legal form has been very great, but I
believe has been fully met. The whole case
rests upon the action of the returning
board. I have carefully observed them,and
have formed a high opinion of Gov. Wells
and Col. Anderson. They are firm, judi
cious and, as far as I can iudge, thoroughly
honest and conscientious. They are per
sonally familiar with the nature and degree
of intimidation in Louisiana. They
can see that tbe intimidation a*
organized was with a view of throwing
out Republican parishes rather than en
dangering Democratic parishes. Our little
party are now dividing out the disputed
parishes. with the view of a careful exami
nation of every paper and detail. Many
are impatient of the delay, and some have
gone home. We will probably be able to
keep about ten here. We have lucurred
some liabilities for reporting, printing, etc.,
but hope the Republican National Com
mittee will make this good. If not, we
must provide for it ourselves. We are in
good hope and spirit, not wishing the re
turn in your favor unless it Is clear that it
ought to be so, and not willing to be cheated
out of it, or to l>e "bulldozed” or intimi
dated. The truth is palpable that you
ought to hare the vote of Louisiana, and
we believe that you will have it by an honest
and fair return, according to the letter and
spirit of the law of Louisiana. Very truly
yours, John Sherman.
To this Ueneral Hayes responded as fol
lows:
Columbus, O., November 27, 1876.
Mv Dear Sir—I am greatly obliged for
your letter of the 23d. You feel, I am sure,
as I do about this whole business. A fair
election would have given us about forty
electoral rotes at the South—at leaat that
many. But we are not to allow our friends
to defeat one outrage and fraud by another.
There must be nothing crooked on our part.
Let Mr. Tilden have the place by violence,
intimidation aud fraud, rather than under
take to prevent it by means that will not
bear the severest scrutiny. I appreciate the
work doing by tbe Republicans who have
gone South, and am especially proud of the
acknowledged honorable conduct of those
from Ohio. The Democrats made a mistake
in sending so many ex-Republicans. New
converts are proverbially bitter and unfair
towards those they have recently left. I
trust you will soon reach the end of the
work and be able to return In health and
safety. Sincerely, yours,
R. B. Hates.

Third An anal Csavntisa
Special Talagram to tka Morwino 9mm.
Macon, July 31.—The third annual meet
ing of the Georgia State Horticultural So
ciety was held here to-day in Masonic Hall.
President Berckmans, in his opening ad
dress. congratulated the society upon the
fact that tbe number of members in attend
ance is much larger than ever, and that a
greatly increased interest ia manifested in
fruit growing. He mentiohed as facts of which
Georgia may well be proud, that Georgia had
a greater number of representatives in the
last two meetings of the National Agricultu
ral Congress than any Southern State, and
Tery nearly equal to the most numerously
represented State of the East anl West;
that at the last meeting a silver medal
awarded to a gentleman from Southwest
Georgia for one of tbe finest dishes of apples
on exhibition, and that during the present
on Georgia peaches have been quoted at
a much higher price in the Northern mar
kets than those from other Southern States.
The display of fruits of all kinds Is very
fine—uncommonly so, if the unfavorable
season is taken into consideration. There
are about one thousand plates now displayed
in the hall. The exhibition will continue
to-morrow.
ArTERNOON AND EVENING SESSION.
During tbe afternoon and evening sessions
the catalogue of fruits was discussed, during
which the members gave their individual
experience as to quality and time of ripen
ing fo( shipping, ar.d as to quality and
value for market and home use, eliciting
much valuable information, which will be
embodied in the published proceedings.
The fair and exhibition of the fruits is
fixed for to-morrow. All the old officers
were unanimously re-elected and the mem
bers are enthusiastic on the subject of rais
ing fruit.

CAPTURE OF ESCOBEDO.
It is astonishing, remarks a Northern
cotemporary, that tbe journals which af-
fert to have such a lively interest in the
affairs of tailoring men, have so little to
say in regard to the recent land grant de
cision made by Secretary Bchatz. This
decision throws open to purchase and
settlement under the pre-emption laws
twenty-eight and one-half millions of
acres of land at #1 25 per acre. By one
stroke of his pen the Secretary has re
versed the land grant policy of the na
tion. The lands are not taken away from
the railrOad companies, the proceeds of
sales are part of the railroad assets; but
the lands can be obtained by pre emption
as other government lands and the price
is the same as for government lands.
The great land monopolies constituted
by the acts of Congress granting the
public lands to corporations are effec
tively broken up by the terms of this
decision, in so far as the lands are con
cerned which have not been already dis
posed of. The original purpose of the
government was to aid the railroads, not
to create monopolies by granting a per
petual control of the lands. The wise
restriction as to the power of the’railroad
companies to fix the price of lands,
limiting that power to three years after
the completion of their roads, bad been
almost lost sight of. The enforcement of
this three-year rule by the government
comes most opportunely. That surplus of
labor which appears to exist in the depart
ments of mechanical and manufacturing
industry is furnished a more ready means
of relief by the opening up of vast
stretches of tillable land along the lines
of completed railway in the Western
country. Nothing is more certain than
that for hundreds of years to come agri-1
cultural pursuits will offer the most avail
able means of independent support to
laboring men in the United States. This
is a resource that is substantial and un
failing. Secretary’ Schurz has conferred’
a peculiar benefit upon his country by
his manful decision, which has so widen
ed the choice of homesteads thrown open
to men desirous of settling upon and till
ing land of their own.

The Now York Tribune says: “One of
the many advantages which have com
bined thus far to render New York city
one of the most charming summer re
sorts on this side of the equator is tbe
facility with which one can get away
from it,” etc., etc. Well, that is saying
something for the great metropolis as a
summer resort.
Alexandria in Egypt is threatened with
a water famine. The canal, thirty miles
long, supplying it from the Nile has be
come almost dry. It is choked with
mud, the water lieing diverted by great
land owners higher up for their cotton
crops. The old Roman cisterns have
mostly lieen broken up for building ma
terial, and those remaining are too foul
for use.
The intensity of the late drought in
Australia may be judged by the simple
calculation made by the Inspector of
Stock that in New South Wales alone
4.000,000 sheep were lost last year from
the effects of the dry weather. At least
another million must be added to ac
count for tbe losses of this year and for
the loss suffered by small holder* and
others who were for various reasons
omitted from the returns. Thus we have
5,000.000 sheep, valued at $12,500,000 at
least, destroyed, directly or indirectly,
through tbe lack of pasturage consequent
on the drought. In 1876 the Australian
colonies possessed between them over
45,000,000 sheep, of which 20.000,000
belonged to New South Wales. There
is reason to believe that in Victoria and
South Australia the effects of the
drought were quite as disastrous as tn New
Souii Wales, while in Queensland they
were doubly severe. J* is not, therefore,
too much to estimate that at leal! the
same proportion of the flocks elsewhere
were destroyed as in New South Wales,
and that in Australia alone, omitting
Tasmania and New Zealand, 9,000,000
sheep (lerwhed in a single summer.
The British theologians have discov
ered a prophecy of what has happened at
Berlin in the eighth chapter of Zachariah,
and tbe last verse: “In those days jt
shall come to pass that ten men shall
take hold out of all languages of the
nation*, even shall take hold of the skirt
of him that is a Jew, saying, We will go
with you: for we have heard that Go*J is
with you." Tbe contentioB is that there
are ten languages “of tbe nations" rep
resented at Berlin—German, English,
Russian, French, Italian, Turkish, Greek,
Roumanian, Serb, and Magyar. The
allusion to Beaconsfleld, is, of course,
obvious.
Galveston, Texas, July 31.—An official
dispatch from Colonel Schweitzer, at King-
gold Barracks, near Brownsville, confirms
the capture of General Escobedo concerning
which there has been some doubt. He was
captured on July 20th near Curatro Genego*

himself.

Vienna, Jnly 31.—An Austrian force,

has reached Novi unresisted.
Official reports from the Bosnian frontier
state that the followers of a Turkish agita
tor who raised an insurrection against the
Ottoman authority at Lerajaro and was de
posed as Civil Governor, stormed and plun
dered tbe armory after a sanguinary conflict
with the gendarmes.
Gen. Phillopvovitoh telegraphs he receiv
ed cordial addresses at Brad and Derbeud.

Philadelphia, July 31.—The irou mill
owners of this city held a meeting three
weeks since and gave their hands notice
that a reduction of ten per cent, would be
made in their wages after the first of Sep
tember. The hands refused to submit to it,
but have been allowed until the 15th of Sep
tember to decide whether they will accept
or not. If they have not then decided the
reduction will certainly take place.
MEXICANS WATCHING M'KENZIE.
Galveston, Tex., July 31.—The Yen'
San Antonio special says: “General Pedro
Yaldez^be Mexican commander who met
Mackenzie w hen the latter was in Mexico,
is, with about one thousand five hundred
mcD, stationed in the mountains above
Eagle Pass, on the Mexican side, watching

SUPPLEMENTARY ESTIMATE OF THE BRITISH
ARMT.
London, July 31.—The army supple
mentary estimate for additional expendi
tures in consequence of the war between
Russia and Turkey was issued to-day. It
amounts to £1,545,500. .
in the House of Commons, llayter (Liber
al) gave notice of a resolution declaring
this exjienditure extravagant and burthen-
some to the tax payers, and ought not to be
sanctioned by Parliament.
MORE ABOUT THE HANLON-ROSS BOAT RACE.
Riverside, X. B., July 31.—Great excite
ment wes manifested at the starting of tbe
Hanion-Rotfs race this arternoon, but the
upsetting of Ross’ lioat dampened the
ardor of the spectators. Ross says the
spring of the oar lock worked out and he
upset, breaking the box of the boat. The
official time of the race was 36:58.
CONCENTRATION OF SERVIAN TROOPS.
London, July 81.—A* Reuter telegram
from Belgrade states that the concentration
of Servian troops continues, and reinforce
ment* are going to the ariny of observation
ou the Bosnian frontier. The whole stand
ing army, uumbcriDg twenty thousand
men and half of the militia, are still under
tns.
ADDRESS TO THE AMERICAN CONSUL.
Liverpool, July 31.—The Chamber of
Commerce presented an address to General
Fairchild, United States Consul in this city,
on tho occasion of bis quitting tbe Ameri
can Consulate.
The New York Sun thinks Mr. Hayes'
heart has long since ceased to bleed tor
the poor African. Otherwise the fraud
ulent administration might show some
interest in the peculiar methods by which
hundreds of industrious Americans of
frican descent have been induced to
aliandon thrifty nom«s, have been strip
ped of their means under one pretense
another, transported across the oceun
In a plague-stricken vessel, and landed
penniless on an unhealthy shore, where
their prospects of a livelihood are very
cheerless. The facts indicate fraud and
criminal carelessness, and a thorough in
vestigation should be made before more
poor colored people are enticed away
from their native land.
The Albany (N. Y.) Argus says; “ If
Hayes is rightful President of the United
States, then Packard was wrongfully dis
possessed of the office of Governor of Lou
isiana. If Packard was never Governor
of Louisiana, then Hayes has no rightful
title to the office of President of the Uni
ted Stotes. The testimony of Major E. A.
Burke shows how it came that Hayes
was inaugurated President, and Nicholls
secured his office as Governor. It is in
credible that the Republican leaders
should agree to dispossess Packard, if
they believed him rightfully entitled to
the office of Governor. Men do not thus
surrender; they will fight first. The fact
that they subverted the Packard govern
ment shows that they denied its right to
exist; for how could they consent to set
aside any government, and especially any
Republican government, if they recog
nized the rightfulness of its title ? This
denial of the right of Packard to be Gov
ernor, however, carries with it an effect
ual impeachment of the title of Hayes.
The intrigue by which.this was consum
mated is revealed in Major Burke's tes
timony. "
Perhaps the most severe measure in
tended to drive the Chinese out of Cali
fornia is a law passed at the last session
of the California Legislature restricting
the exhumation and removal of the bodies
of the dead. The act provides that
bodies shall not be exhumed without a
permit granted by the proper authorities
on the certificate of the Coroner or of the
physician who last attended the dead per
son, as to the cause of death. For each
permit the sum of ten dollars must be
paid, and (he body must be enclosed in a
metallic casket A similar permit is
made necessary for the transportation of
a disinterred body through streets and
highways. Violation of the law is pun
ishable by a fine of from fifty dollars to
five hundred dollars, or imprisonment for
from thirty days to six months, or by
both such fine and imprisonment. In
order that the act may affect the Chinese
only, it is specially provided that it shall
not apply to the removal of the remains
of dead persons from one cemetery to
another within the same county.

The Gainesville Southron (Indepen
dent) says: “Ex-Governor Joseph E.
Brown was interviewed at Los Angeles,
California, a few days ago. The ex-
Govcroor made a plain case of tbe health
ful condition of things iu Georgia, and
among other things said that Alexander
Stephens was an Independent candidate
for Congress from the Eighth district,
and that he would certainly be elected,
and if he were in his district he would
vote for him. How do the organized
like Governor Brown's independence
However they may like it, they need
not be surprised at it. The Democracy
who remember the dark days of Radical
supremacy in Georgia, will not be aston
ished to find ex-Governor Joe Brown
sympathizing with any movement that
tends to tbe disorganization and over
throw of the Democratic party,to which
he owes so much and which he ccserted
in the hour of its sorest trial.
We all have our preferences, but no one

is so well known that Dr. Bull’s Baby Syrup
