Lowe repeated the remark, and the Speak(

the expression.

Tin- State Democratic Convention of South
(. arolina tuet yesterday at Columbia,
adopted a platform pledging justice and
protection in civil rights to all citizens with
out regard to race, color or previous condi
tion; strongly urges the encouragement of
immigration to the State; calls upon Con-
gres* to so act as to ifuiet the revenue trou
bles in the upper part of the Slate;
quests amnesty to illicit distillers, and
especially denounces independent tnov>
ments and a fusion with Radices. The
platform and a resolution endorsing Gov.
liamptou and the present State officials and
nominating them for re-election were adopt
ed by a rising vote amid much enthusiasm.

The Rev. Dr. Sc hall is visiting in
I’tah. He says that some of the unbe
Hovers there regard Morraonism as steadi
ly increasing and consolidating, while
others see disintegration and growing in
fidelity. He thinks that most Mormons
are living in monogamy, although they
hold to the doctrine of polygamy. “The
Mormons," he says, "dress and look
like other people, and present the aspect
of an industrious, temperate and pros-
perous community. I have seen a*
healthy children here as auywhere else.
The Territory is well governed and free
from debt, which is an exceptional re
ts ujimendat ion. Even a bad religion in
politics seems to be better than none."
The following is Dr. SchafTs prophecy
as to Mormonism: “It has been nursed
into |M»wcr by cruel persecution, and the
tire of. fanaticism and material self
interest may keep it up for a considera
ble time; but it can scarcely be expected
that as a religious and polygamous sys
tem it will be aide to resist much longer
the pressure of the surrounding civiliza
tiou and churches."
Kearney, the California Moses of the
Communists, arrived in Boston on Sun
day. and was received with the curiosity
and interest which his advent would
naturally excite among the classes who
stand ready to hail him as a deliverer
from “the oppression of capital." His
.*l»eech to the crowd which waited upon
him at the hotel is said to have been en
tirely characteristic of the man—coarse,
violent, and profane. The workingmen
of Massachusetts have not as yet com
mitted themselves to an unqualified in
dorsement of Kearney and Kcarneyism,
but seem disposed to wait and form their
own opinion of the man and his mission
lie fore dropping their tools and organiz
ing imposing demonstrations in his
honor.
“The OrruM "
It is not uncommon to see in the In
dependent organs of this and other States
remarks in the nature of sneers at "the
organized." Such remarks are not only
ungrateful, but in very bad taste.
What is it that is meant by the term
"theorganized?" Simply the Democratic
party, and we would infer from the re
marks of these organs that they consid
ered it unpatriotic and blameworthy to
be connected with the only organization
to which we are this day indebted for
freedom of speech and the blessings of
home rule in the South.
Suppose that in the days of carpet-bag
rule in Georgia, when alien enemies
and political adventurers with United
States bayonets and venal United States
Marshals at their backs carried mat
tens with a high hand, the Democratic
party had not been “organized?’’ Sup
pose when these men plundered the
Treasury and recklessly involved the tax
payers of our State in debt in order that
they might fill their carpet-lmgs with ill-
gotten gains and retire to their Northern
homes Hushed with wealth wrung from
the hard earnings of our people.
Jicre had not been union and
harmony in Democratic ranks? Sup
pose that then the disorganization
and independence, falsely so-called,
w hich these organs now so strenuously
advocate, had prevailed in the ranks of
the people of the State, and continued
to the present day; what would be our
condition now? Tbe answer is plain.
>ur enemies and plunderers would still
be holding high carnival amongst us.
Our people would still be hopelessly in
volved in the toils ^f poverty
and debt, our State would still be.
in all probability, the plaything and prey
of unprincipled Radical adventurers and
thieves. Instead of having enjoyed for
many years the blessings of freedom and
prosperity, we would be even now-
ground down to the dust, and instead of
our State bonds commanding a premium,
would be liankrupt and our credit
would be hopelessly destroyed. Yet it is
the Democratic party which checked and
•ffectually warded off these curses, and in
lieu thereof has given us peace.prosperity,
freedom and happiness which these or-
and their "independent" leaders
Ueeringty allude to as "the organized."
In the dark days of carpet-bag plunder
and bayonet rule, to which we have al
luded. party organization was not only
recognized, but was acknowledged to be
a necessity as a means of self-preserva
tion. Those who imagine that because
Georgia is now strongly Demo-
cratic that necessity no longer exists,
are greatly mistaken. A great deal de
pends upon the political complexion of
the next House. The Radicals are mak
ing strenuous efforts to capture it, and if
they should succeed, it will be their first
step towards establishing a one man pow
er under Grant. They know that Grant,
as a Presidential candidate, cannot
Ije elected by the people. They trust,
however, that with three tickets in the
field—the Democrats, the Radical*, and
the Nationals — the election will be
thrown into the House, and if that House
lie Radical. Grant will be the next and in
all probability the last President of the
United States.

Trial of Steam Road Wagons DV TELEGRAPH.
A year or two ago the Wisconsin 1 u.
Legislature offered a prize of ten thou
sand dollars for a perfect steam w agon
for general agricultural and hauling
purposes, to be able to stand such tests
as a board of three commissioners should
propose. Among other things, the con
testing machines are to make a two
hundred mile trip along the country
roads of tbe State, due north and south,
haul a heavy wagon behind them,
able to plow, run threshing machines,
and perforin other feats such as the
genuity or wisdom of the commissioners
might suggest The commission was
duly appointed, and met at Green Bay,
Wis., on the 15th ult. There were but
two entries, the “Oshkosh." by Sc homer
A Farrand, of Oshkosh, and the “Green
Bay.” by Cow lea Bros., of East Green
Bay. The latter machine met with
several accidents, which detained it
the road, but the former made the trial
trip according to the conditions named,
traversing the distance between Fort
Howard and Madison, two hundred and
one miles, in thirty-three hours, twenty-
seven seconds, or six hours less than the
time required by the specifications, which
called for an average speed of five miles
an hour. At various points along the
line, however, it attained a much greater
•peed, in one instance making twenty-one
miles in two hours ten minutes, and
the Oshkosh race course doing a mile
4 :•&’>. At Fort Atkinson it was attached
to a gang of two plows, and turned over
a goodly portion of a two acre field. The
machine weighs 4,800 pounds: with wa
ter and coal for eight miles, C.600
pounds, and hauled throughout a wagon
weighing 3,500 pounds.
The Albany (N. Y.) Argut says the
friends of Hayes are easily pleased.
Major Burke's testimony conclusively
proves that Hayes became President after
an understanding had been reached that
he would abandon Packard and sustain
Nicholls. Tbe atrocity of such a pro
ceeding is not capable of exaggeration.
If Mr. Hayes is rightful President then
Mr. Packard is rightful Governor. The
fact that one is in office and the other
not, is all that is needed to convict those
who apoloifize for this state of things, of
deliberate support for infamous crimes.
We care not who the parties to the
compact are. It was the duty of every
man to sustain the rightful claimants
to the extent of his power. When
Republican leaders, in consideration of
the inauguration of Hayes, agreed to
abandon Packard, they surrendered all
pretense that Hayes had any rightful
claim to the office of President. The
crime of Hayes consists in clinging to
his stolen office while deserting Packard.
He thus effectually clouds his own title,
and still has the audacity to assume to
act as President of the United Slates.
He adopted and acted upon the pledges
made in his behalf. He thus became the
principal in an infamous conspiracy, for
which he deserves the severest penalties
of the law.
deep research to appreciate the necessity
of jiarty unity and harmony under these
circumstances. There will lie needed in
the lower house of the forty-sixth Con
gress, to lie chosen this fa-1, of pure, un
compromising Democrats—men under
no obligation to Radicals for their elec
tion, and who can, therefore, under all
circumstances, be relied on to vote
for and uphold Democratic meas
ures. Now, as much as ever, there
fore. party unity, which means party
strength, should be tin- one thing
to be determined on. Let the voters of
this State and the South at large, when
ever they read sneers and jeers at "the
organized" or “the Bourbon Demo
cracy." ponder seriously over these
things. Your “Independent" would 4u !
reality sacrifice the liest interests of |
State and party to his selfish and ambiti
ous ends and aims* Independentism
is nothing more nor less than Radicalism
in disguise.
A Manual of Georgia.
We have received a copy of a pamphlet
bearing the above title, prepared by Dr.
T. P. Janes, Commissioner of Agricul
ture for the State.
It is divided into two parts. Part 1
gives in detail the physical aspect of the
Slate, its geographical situation, its ter
ritorial extent, its different soils and pro
ductions, its educational facilities, its
timber resources, its metal and mineral
ealth, and indeed everything connected
itl* the facilities and inducements which
it can offer to immigrants.
Part II. contains the sectional divisions
and shows die distinctive features of tbe
various portions of Georgia, together
with statistical facts of public interest in
relation to the several counties of the
State.
It is. in a word, a compendium of
valuable and exhaustive information to
tbe immigrant seeking a home in our
midst, as well as to the capitalist who may
be seeking for a profitable field for
investment. Dr. Janes will furnish a
copy of this manual to any one desiring
it, who will address him in Atlanta, and
enclose a three cent postage stamp to pay
for its transmission by mail.
| A New Species op Theft. —A strange
i case was recently tried in a court in San
Francisco, resulting in as strange
verdict Tbe defendant, who was
! money broker, had been accustomed to
draw checks on the Anglo Californian
Bank of San Francisco, and to use them
in his business, having first procured
their certification by the cashier of the
bank. In this case the defendant repre
sented to the cashier that he knew where
he could purchase twenty thousand dol
lars in silver, and was told by tbe latter
to make the purchase. The defendant
then drew his check on the bank,
which the cashier certified, there being
no funds, however, in the bank to the
credit of the former. The defendant,
instead of buying silver, used the check
to purchase currency, and subsequently
left the State. The bank had him ar
rested on the charge of stealing the
check, claiming that the certification of
it made it the property of the bank, and
the jury upon this ground found the de
fendant guilty of larceny. A new trial
has been granted, however, the Judge
holding that the act of certifying a check
could in no way give the bank any legal
title to it.
Tbe new antiseptic mode is being tried
at the Alexian Brothers’ Hospital in
Chicago, with astonishing results. While
u limb is Iteing amputated a spray
atomizer throws a stream of a solution
of curliolic acid into the wound, and this
makes the operation perfectly painless.
No chloroform or ether is required, and
it is said the wound heals very readily.
"What shall we do with our surplus
wheat crop?" is the problem now agita
ting the minds of the Western farmers.
This season's harvest is the richest known
in a long series of years, and the United
States will have 150,000,000 bushels to
spare for exportation.
“Landaulet” Williams is satisfied that
Grant can obtain more support in the
South than any other Republican. He
thinks upon a pinch he could carry Lou
isiana, South Carolina and Florida.
Doubtless he can do so if he is aided by
the returning board machinery.
The third termers are getting very ner
vous at the prominence of Grant as a
candidate for 1880. They know very
well that the surest way of defeating the
possibility of making him a candidate is
to keep on talking about him. The con
sequence is that tbe wise and prudent
old bell-weathers, such as Hamilton Fish
and Z. Chandler, are hastening to have
themselves interviewed in order to say
that Grant would not, under any circum
stances, allow himself to again tie a can
didate in 1880. They take that opportu
nity, however, of saying what a good
mun Grant is, what a plain, simple heart
ed man, how unambitious, how grand
are bis talents, bow patriotic, how
selfish, and how much he longs for the
retirement of a simple farm life—and all
those other nice third term traits of char
acter.
One wing of the Potter Committee
met in New York on Monday afternoon,
and examined ex Governor Palmer, of
Illinois, who visited Louisiana in No
vember, 1878, to keep watch over Demo
cratic interests. The pith of his evidence
goes to show that bushels of affidavits
could have been procured from Radical
politicians in Louisiana by the judicious
expenditure of legal tender. As the
Democrats declined to purchase, it is but
fair to infer that their opponents adopted
a different course. The committee also
learned that Eliza Pinkston has under
gone a change of conviction. Some
body has evidently persuaded her of the
error of her ways, and she now swears
herself back to ber original sanguinary
story.
The evidence so far given by the Re
publican “visiting statesmen" is so ex
actly harmonious both in tbe main and
in detail—not a single contradiction, how
ever minute, l»eing discernible—as to rea
sonably lead to one of two findings, viz.:
that it was conceitedly arranged before
delivery, or the “visiting statesmen,"
when in New Orleans, were imposed
upon by the local Republican managers.
The latter finding, however, unjustly
convicts the “visiting statesmen" of ex
ceeding simplicity. It looks very much
as if the G&rfields and Hales make wit
nesses of the same kind as the Jenkses.
Honesty and veracity seem not to dwell
in them.
General J. Gorgas. late of the Univer
sity of the South, at Sew&nee, Tennessee,
has been elected President of the Univer
sity of Alabama, at Tuscaloosa. General
Gorgas will be remembered in the South
generally, and particularly in Richmond,
as the accomplished Chief of Ordnance
of the Confederate State*. Though a
Pennsylvanian by birth, he, like Adju
tant General Cooper, preferred to suffer
affliction with the South rather thar to
enjoy office and honor at the expense of
his conscience.
We learn that the Hon. Hinton
Rowan Helper, author of the "Impenu-
ing Crisis," and formerly Minister to
South America, will shortly issue from
the press a work entitled “A New Era
for the South; Her Struggles, Past and
Present.” The book, like everything
else which Mr. Helper has written, is
expected to create t sensation.
The rapid increase of population in
Texas renders it highly probable that a
division will be called for before many
years. The population in 1870 was 818,-
and the delegation in the House of
Representative is now but six. A new
census will increase the representation to
ten, and perhaps twelve. There is no
doubt about the magnitude and growing
grandeur of Texas. The Baltimore Ga
zette thinks if the State isn't halved or
quartered one of these days it may be
impossible to curb tbe ambition of its
statesmen, and we may have another
Aaron Burr setting up an empire out
there and defying the whole country to
upset him.

Gxixestillx. Ga., August 1.—The Demo

for Congress from the Ninth district met
here to-day. Major John Hockenhull.
Chairman of the District Committee, called
the convention to order at ten o'clock. It
organized promptly by the election of
Robert White, of Jackson, as President, and
B. J. Davis and W. S. Erwin as Secretaries.
The Committee on Credentials reported
that all the delegates present were entitled to
seats, partial delegations to be allowed to
cast the entire vote of their counties.
Every county was represented. The two-
thirds rule was adopted with no opposition.
Sixty-six votes were found to be In the con
vention, which then adjourned to two
o'clock.
After again assembling. Judge Sutton, of
Habersham, nominated H. H. Carlton, of
Athens, which nomination was seconded by
Mr. Rucker, of Clarke. Doctor Star, of
White, nominated Hon. Hiram P. Bell.
Thirty-three ballots were had. Bell
the first and second received
forty votes and on the last thirty-seven.
Carlton on the first received twenty
six votes; on the last twenty-nine. Bell's
highest vote Was forty, lowest thirty-five.
Carlton’s highest vote *as thirty-one,
lowest twenty-six.
On the twenty-fourth ballot Mr. Andrews,
of Morgan, nominated Mr. Foster, of Mor
gan, who received four votes, when his name
was withdrawn. At five o’clock the conven
tion adjourned until eight a. m. to-morrow.
The delegates are earnest but qniet. It Is
thought impossible to nominate either Bell
or Carlton. The others mentioned are
Price, of Lumpkin, Billups and Butler, of
Morgan, who, it is thought probable, will be
nominated to-morrow.

Cultivating Mushrooms.—An enter
prising Frenchman, M. Muzzarelli, some
time since rented an abandoned brewery
Hoboken, New Jersey, and entered
into the artificial culture of mushrooms.
He has spent three thousand dollars in
perfecting his machinery, and keeps his
process of production entirely secret.
The products are large milky disks,
eigbing in some instances five or six
ounces each, and averaging fifteen or
enty to the pound. M. Muzzarelli has
already been able to raise one hundred
and fifty pounds per day, and finds a
ready sale for them at the hotels and res
taurants, receiving sixty cents per pound
summer and eighty cents in winter.
The Syracuse correspondent of the
World declares that the National Green
back Labor Convention “was sold out
ither to John Kelly and Tammany Hall
to New York's ‘favorite son,’ Roscoc
Conkling. ” He cites many suspicious
facts in proof of his assertion and makes
out a case that is rather more than
plausible. It seems to be a fact that
third party movements are invariably
sold out by their leaders at some point
their progress. In most cases, they
probably organized for that purpose
schemers who are gifted with a
faculty of reaching the ears of the un
sophisticated with glib talk of the wrongs
of workingmen, etc., etc.
From a comparison of the internal
revenue receipts for the fiscal year end
ing June 30th, 1878, with those of the
previous year, it appears that the de
crease in revenue was $7,905,884 34, of
which $7,044,758 28 was from a decreas
ed production of liquors. There was an
increase in jibe consumption of cigars
and cigarettes, amounting to 105,000.000
of the former and 16,000,000 of the lat
ter. There was a falling off of 99,000
pounds in the use of snuff; also, a de
crease of over 7,000,000 pounds in the
consumption of chewing tobacco.
Memphis, according to a letter from
the Tennessee Commissioner, has been
swarded the prize for the best bale of
The Albany Argus says the second
{taragraph of the Declaration of Inde
pendence, as it was originally prepared
Thomas Jefferson, began in this wise;
We hold these truths to be self-evident,
that all men are created equal, except
Chinamen ; that they are endowed by
their Creator with certain inalienable
rights," etc. But upon reading it over a
second time, after his heated brow had
cooled off a little, Thomas felt very
much ashamed of himself, and hastily
seizing his pen, struck out the words
“ except Chinamen.”
To all whom it may concern: Whereas.
ANNA HENGE8 will apply at the Court of
Ordinary for Letters of Administration on the

These are, therefore, to cite and admonish all
whom it may concern to be and appear before
said court, to make objection .if any they have>

“You trench on delicate ground." said
Secretary Sherman when pressed for the
reasons for the removal of Parker from
the New Orleans Poetmasterehip, and
the appointment of Sauer to a fst office
in the New Orleans custom house. The
fact that these changes constitute a part
of the bribe of patronage with which
Hayes bought Kellogg when the latter
was summoned before the Potter Com
mittee, explains very clearly Sherman's
objection to that committee's “trenching
on delicate ground.”
The voice of reform is heard through the
land, and speaks of the “good time com
ing.” 8o too the spirit of reform Is working
in the nurseries of the land to banish those
dangerous opium and morphia preparations,
and establish useful and harmless remedies,
