OF PIERCE COUNTY.
The Canv.vss in the Second Dis
trict.—A ft ieod writes us from Valdosta
that ilon. W. E. Smith, the nominee of
the Democrats of the Second Congres
sional district, addressed a large and en
thusiastic meeting iu that place on Thurs
day, and that he was to address the peo
pie at Miiitowa yesterday. Our corres
pondent says the Democracy of Lowndes
are solid for the gallant standard-bearer
of the party in the Second district. Our
private advices from all parts of the First
and second districts are most cheerine,
giving a»urance of a glorious victory
over Radicalism, Independentism and all
other isms on the oth of November. The
Democracy of the wiregrass region of
the State will stand firm to their colors,
and give a united and hearty support to
tho nominees of the party.
Onb of the speakers at the Corker
meeting last night alluded to the well
fouuded apprehension that the defeat of
the Democracy of the First district in
November might lead to the sending of
a Radical Representative to Congress in
the future, hut consoled himself and his
Democratic adherents with Jemmy TWit
cher’s philosophical reflection—"Vel, vot
ov it?"
Isn’t it remarkable? The Cerkerites
justify their opposition to the Democracy
on the ground that the Democratic party
is not true to the interests of the country,
and in the same breath declare that they
aredyed in the wool Democrat*.
Tell it not in Gath, publish it not on

Who Suffers Most from Depreciated
Money ?
We have in these columns on more
than one occasion alluded to the fact
that of all classes of men, those who are
dependent on their daily labor for their
daily bread are the greatest, we might
aimoot say the only, sufferers when a
depreciated money is the currency of a
country. The truth of the assertion is
manifest inasmuch as it is based on two
well known facts, time and time again
proven true by experience, viz: First,
that wages never rise in proportion to the
depreciation of an unsound currency—a
fact which was conclusively proven in our
own experience during the days of Con
federate money—and, second, when
money becomes depreciated, and prices of
ail things else rise in the ratio of such
depreciation, the man of means can
always invest his money in real estate, or
something else of an intrinsic value, and
thus effectually shield himself from loss.
These statements, being established both
by experience and sound reason, cannot
be successfully contradicted.
We have lately, however, seen this
idea very graphically and forcibly illus
trated by a Democratic speaker in the
West (whose name, unfortunately, we
have forgotten), who compares the con
ditions of the laboring and rich man in
the North before and after the passage of
the legal tender act, despite which act,
be it remembered, greenbacks, though
based on the faith and credit of the na
tion, became much depreciated, and at
one time were considerably below par.
Says the speaker:
“There were poor men when the war
broke out who bad a little money laid
up in savings banks or note or mortgage.
It was gold that they had earned, or
money convci tible into gold. A me
ehanic, for instance, enlisted, he had a
little home, perhaps only a rented house.
He had a wife and children not able to
earn a living for themselves. At his
country’s call he went away. His meagre
pay in a depreciated currency wo :ld not
support his family. They had to draw
from their savings, and every dollar that
i hey had earned iu gold was returned to
than in paper worth, sixty or seventy
cents on the dollar. It did not take long
to exhaust the little store, the necessaries
of life having risen as the money depre
predated. They got iu debt to live; they
mortgaged the home, if they had one, on
long time for borrowed money worth
sixty' or seventy cents on the dollar.
When the other end comes, the con
tracting end, they must pay the debt in
gold. Thus they lose at both ends. A
currency cannot be expanded in this way
without a corresponding contraction in
the future. If prices inflate and thing.**
are blown up because your money is de
preciate*!, they must come, some time,
down to their nonnal condition again.
A man c uld not live many years at the
fever heat of passion and anger; he must
get back to his natural self soon or die.
“Now take the rich man; his bond 3 ,
notes and other securities of fixed value
outstanding when this legal tender act
took effect, had been paid for in gold.
When they fell due he had to take his
pay* in depreciated money, didn't he ?
He collected their face, but the money
was worth only from fifty’ to seventy
cents on the dollar. But he was able to
take this tilty or seventy cents under the
legal tender act, loan it for a dollar, put
it on long time, and now, even without
resumption, he practically to-day gets a
dollar and the interest on a dollar for his
fifty or seventy cents expended. He has
been able to make the last end balance
the first—he lias got even; the poor man
has lost at both ends. This will always
be the effect of a depreciated or cheap
currency, and all the legislation in the
world cannot prevent it except by fur
nishing a uniform money of stable
value.” •
It may, and most probably will, be re
marked that this illystration refers
entirely to the very condition of affairs
-of which the country at present 60
bitterly complains. Grant it. Yet it
graphically exemplifies by an illustration
famiiiar to every mzn in the land the
one great principle—that, under all cir
cumstauce**, when the money of a coun
try’ is depreciated, it is the poor mar., and
he who works for his daily bread, who is
after all the mai • sufferer. There arc-
many ways in which the man of means
can protect himself in nil disorders of
the currency, but the man who labors to
day for the wherewithal to purchase his
food for to-morrow, and find.-
that the money which 2w make.**
to-day has lost much of its pur
chasing power by the morrow
(as is always the case when money is
worthless and depreciating), he it is
who has to suffer lose, and there is
for him no remedy.
It u exactly such a money as this—
bound to entail loss and suffering upon
the laboring man—which the fiat money
advocates propose to fasten upon the
country’. They desire a paper dollar
which is never to be redeemed, and is
only to be known as a dollar because the
government so stamps it. But all the
stamps and all the law’s in the world can
not prevent that paper dollar from depre
cutting. Make it death even to refuse to
take it as a dollar; still the merchant, the
butcher, tLe grocer, in short, any one
who deals in the necessaries of life,
can place upon his goods and wares
whatever price he pleases, and he
will take very good rare to decide
upon a price which will save
liimiclf harmless; and be it borne
in mind it is, in every case, the
purchaser alone who is the actual loser.
To protect all classes of people the
Democratic party desires a currency
which will be ample for the wants of
the country, but which will always be a
good, sound, substantial money’, not
liable to fluctuations or change, and
always worth one hundred cents in
the dollar. It is manifestly to the
interest of the entire community
that the currency should be of this
nature, but, as we have endeavored
to portray', there is no one so immediately
interested in such a currency’ as the la
boring man who works for a per diem or
a stated salary. Any currency—such as
this much talked of irredeemable flat
money’ for instance—which is not stable
and sound, is simply a delusion and a
snare, an ignis fatuus and nothing
more. Surely the common sense and
common reason of the American work
xngmen will never permit them to con
sent to such an utter and mischievous
absurdity.
The old tradition that honor exists
among thieves has lately been completely
exploded, and in a most striking in
stance. W. O. Avery, well remembered
as one of Grant’s pets and a champion
crooked whisky thief, paid B. F. Butler
a retaining fee of $.>00 to defend him
while on trial. It seems however, that But
ler took the money, but failed to perform
any service at all, not even appear
ing on the trial, and thereby forcing
Avery to employ other counsel. Now’
Avery has brought an action in the
Supreme Court of the District of Colum
bia to recover the money from the Beast.
Another »uik;ng peculiarity about this
quarrel is that in it iyo thieves fall out,
hut Iheic is no honest man cM*C2,med in
it to get his dues.
Does Captain Corker expect to repre
sent his constituency? If he goes to
Congress it will be by the Radical vote.
Does he mean to betray the Radicals
after getting their votes? Unless he
doe he has no right to ask Democrats to
vote for him. He is bound to go lack
on one party or the other, and therefore
should trur. him.
A Good Suggestion—Lei the South
Respond.
It will be remembered that when it
was determined by an association of be
nevolent men of the North to send the
steamer Chambers to carry supplies to
the stricken victims of yellow fever in
the towns along the hanks of the Mis
sissippi, Lieuf. H. H. Benner volunteered
to take command of the expedition.
While engaged in succoring the sick,
dying and destitute he was attacked with
yellow fever, of v hich he died. His
funeral took place in Vicksburg on Thurs
day last, with all the honors due to
one who had fallen a martyr in the
cause of humanity, his remains beiDg
followed to the grave by thousands of
the citizens of Vicksburg, by whom
it is stated, a monument is here
after to be erected to his memo
ry. Lieutenant Benner was a gal
lant Union soldier, and having left a
wife and two small children entirely des
titute of the means of support, a move
ment has been set on foot in New York
by officers of the army to raise a fund
for their relief. Simultaneously with
this movement, we are gratified to ob
serve that similar steps are being taken
in the South for the same praiseworthy
and benevolent purpose. A communi
cation from “ Confederate Soldiers," in
the Augusta Chronicle, proposes that
“ a fund be raised by subscription
from the Southern people for the widow
and orphans of this Northern soldier who
offered up his life a voluntary sacrifice
on the altar of humanity.” Tuey have
appointed lion. Patrick Walsh to act as
treasurer of the fund, and ask the press
throughout the State to make known the
scheme to all the people, that each may
contribute in the good cause. We give
to the movement our most cordial ap
proval, and heartily indorse the eloqueut
appeal of our Augusta contemporary in
its behalf. The Chronicle and Constitu-
thjnalUt in an editorial on the subject
says.
“What could be more fitting, then,
•than that the Southern people should
express their gratitude aud admiration
by raising a fund for those whose pro
tector gave up life in their behalf ?
When the relief ship started on its peril
ous voyage down the Mississippi river,
bearing medicine to the sick iu the death-
beleaguered towns and villages of the
infected region, food to the hungry and
clothing to the naked, no human law
made it the duty of Lieutenant Benner
to share the dangers of the expedi
tion. So far as is known to us, there
were no lies that bound him to the South.
He was an officer of the Federal army
and in the war between the sections
doubtless drew his sword in defense of
that side which he believed to be the
side of right and justice. But in obe
dience to a higher law, which comes
from God and is found iu the Code of
Heaven—a law which commands us to
love one another, to minister to the sick
and to the needy—this brave man took
his life in his hand and journeyed
down the ri7er of death. Exposed
to the poison that tainted every
breeze he sank and diet!, but not before
he had been the means of doing much
good to the people to whose relief he
came. Surely there was never more
knightly deed than this, more of heroic
self-sacrifice, nor was there ever nobler
death in the noble cause pf humanity.
The memory of suck a man should be
honored for all time to come. He has
proven that the age of chivalry has not
passed, and that greener laurels can be
gathered in the charnel house of pesti
lence than on the stricken field. But
while the South admires and honors, she
has a duty to perform. It would be a
blistering shame to let the wife and chil
dren of this martyr to humanity suffer
because of ‘his heroism. God alone can
hind up the bruised and bleeding hearts,
but the Southern people can secure the
loved ones against physical suffering,
privation and want. That they will do
this we have no doubt. Let them in
every town and city raise a fuud for the
family of the brave man who died iu
•heir behalf."
We will take pleasure in receiving and
acknowledging through our columns any
donations to the proposed fund, aDd for:
ward the same to Hon. P. Walsh, of Au
gusta.

1 HE ATLANTA FAIK—FIFTH DAY.
The Grand Military Contest—A Fine
Display.
MUCH INTEREST IN THE RACES.
Floe Prospect for the Coming State
Fair.
Special Telegram to the Morning Xeic*.
Atlanta, Ga., October 35^-The weather
to-day was delightful, and the attendance
at the fair grounds was very large.
The prize drill was commenced by the
Agricultural College Cadets from Dah-
lonega. commanded by Major Garrard.
They made a very creditable appearance
and drilled finely. Next came the Gate
City Guards, of Atlanta, commanded by
Lieutenant H. Scrutchin, and their appear
ance and splendid drill created great ap
plause. Last came Company K, of St.
Louis, commanded by Captain McCoy. Their
movements and drill were magnificent,
nothing like it ever having been seen in
Georgia before. All the army officers
present declared them as nearly perfect in
their military appearance and drill as they
had ever seen. The Atlanta Cadets did not
enter, as they simply proposed to do so to
secure the contest for the 8t. Louis com
pany. The Fair Association gave the prize
of two hundred dollars to the first and
sevent) five dollars to the second company,
with two hundred and fifty dollars to the
St. Louis company for expenses. Captain
Harry Jackson presented the first prize to
the St. Louis company, and the second to
the Gate City Guards ami the individual
prize of twenty-five dollars to Sergeant
John D. Sullivan, of St. Louis, as the best
drilled man present. Also a gold medalwas
given to Private Thomas Everett, of Atlanta,
of the Dahlonega Cadets, as the best drilled
Georgia soldier. The Gate City Guards
did not enter the contest. They will go to
t he Macon Fair, and Sergeant Reinhardt will
there contest for his present championship
of the State.
The attendance at the races was as large
as yesterday, and even greater enthusiasm
was manifested. The running race for al.
ages, two mile heats, for $400, was won by
Bill Dillon in 3:30, 3:42% and 3:42%. Jim
Bell was close behind, and the horses were
often neck and neck : Speculation third,
Silver Maid fourth.
Iu the trotting race, best three in five, for
a purse of $1,000, John H. won the first heat
iu 2:34%, Lew Scott second, and Scott’s
Thomas third. The second heat Lew Scott
won In 2:30%, John H. second. Lew Scott
also won the third heat in 2:29%, and the
fourth in 2:28; Scott’s Thomas second, John
H. third. This was a close race, and great
excitement prevailed. Large amounts were
bet on the winning horse.
Colonel G. W. Adams, of the State Fair,
was present to-day, and secured additional
entries for Macon next week. You can de
pend upon the biggest State Fair held for
years. Send up five picked men from your
best companies to contest for the cham
pionship with Reinhardt. He wants Sayan
nah, Macon, Augusta and Columbus to
send detachments and make it a genuine
State contest.
The Rex display to-night was good, so far
as it went, but it was very small, especially
iu the merchants’ display, in which only five
or six firms took part.

arguments involving the constitutionality of
all laws relating to polygamy in Utah.
Army Quartermasters J. H. Belcher and
A. L. Kimball are ordered to duty respect

LEADERS AND CAUSES OF THE SANTA CRUZ
INSURRECTION.
Kingston, Jamaica. October 17.—The ne
groes who contributed largely to the insur
rection in Santa Cruz were emigrants from
Barbadoes, whose time of service had ex
pired, and who could not obtain their money
out of the savings bank, which was in
solvent, and who were refused passports be
cause they would not re-engage with the
planters for another year, unless they paid
ten dollars a head, the regular fee being
thirty-three cents only.
The failures of Coltam. Morton dfc Co., of
London, and the manufacturers’ agents,
Hough, Balfour & Co., of Manchester, have
seriously affected this island. The former
have nineteeu plantations here, all of which
have in a large measure stopped cultivation
and the circulation of money.
LOSS OF THE STEAMSHIP CITY OP HOUSTON.
New York, October 25.—The Evening
Telegram reports that the steamship City of
Houston, which left New York on the 19th
of this mouth for Galveston, Texas,
foundered off Frying Pan Shoals on the
Tbe New York Graphic points out that
the prostration of the iron industry of
England is so great that five hundred
blast furnaces and over three thousand
puddling furnaces are now idle, and that
the probability is the majority of them
will never resume work, owing to the
loss of markets and a change in modes
of manufacture. It is also known in
New York that in other branches of
industry in England an overbuilding of
mills and factories has occurred, and a
war of competition is raging of a severity
unknown even in America. It is also
known that nearly a hundred millions
of dollars have been invested in ships in
England in excess of the demands of
commerce, and had thus been irretrieva
bly lost. All the worst features of the
hard times in America are, in fact, re
peated in England, only on the larger
scale corresponding to the larger com
merce and manufacture of the mother
country. To this may be added the fact
that the mother country, with all her
wealth, has not the recuperative power
tbit this country is developing.

STEAMSHIP GEN. BARNES FOUN
DEKED AT SEA.
The Corker Meeting Last Night.
For several days past it had been given
out that there would soon be a Corker
demonstratiou in this city, at which that
gentleman would give our citizens his
reasons for the am bition and the hope
that is in him to represent the First dis
trict in Congress, and when he and his
friends would give such a ventilation of
the principles and policy of the Green
back Labor party as would remove all
doubts in the public mind as to
its claims to support. At the
usual hour in the evening the
Theatre was thrown open aud a large
crowd, including the leaders of the new
party and their followers, with many
more attracted by curiosity, filled the
auditorium. A sketch of the proceedings
of the meeting and the addresses of the
speakers is given in our local columns,
from which our readers will perceive
that nothing new or startling was
developed. Those who were pres
ent were not left in doubt
of tbe fact that Captain Corker wants to
go to Congress, though they could not
perhaps as readily perceive on what par
ticular grounds his claims to a seat in
that body are based, as he failed to pre
sent any good reason why he should be
preferred to the regular nominee of the
Democratic party. His speech and the
eloquent remarks of his friend, Col. Ash
ton, wbilfi doubtless gratifying to those
whose nomination he so “cheerfully"
accepted, contained nothing to excite
apprehension or unsettle Democratic
faith. Capt. Corker indulged in a few
flings at the News, but they were of
such a harmless nature as not to call for
reply. On the whole, the meeting was a
success in ail but tbe advancement of
tbe prospects of the Greenback Labor
candidate for Congress.

Norfolk, October 25.—The steamer Cbas.
W. Lord, of Philadelphia, from Havana
with tobacco, sugar and molasses for New
York, encountered a hurricane off Frying
Pan Shoals Tuesday night, during which
her bows were stove in and headgear in
jured. On Wednesday she spoke the
schooner II. W. Drew, of Belfast, Ireland,
for St. John’s, Fla., having on board the
crew and passengers of the steamer Gen.
Barnes, which was cleared at Savannah
October 19th, for New York, and foundered
that morning off Cape Hatteras. The Gen.
Barnes is a total loss. Her passengers and
crew remained on board the schooner Drew.

Unfavorable Weather in Chattanooga.

Fen Deaths Reported.
The Electoral Frauds of 1870.—
One thing is certain, remarks the Phila
delphia Times, if Mr. Tilden had desired
to buy pie Presidency outright and gone
into the marbU for the purpose he would
not have failed, for nobody who knows
anything about the matter can be un
aware that it was up for sale to the
higflg&t bidder as soon as it fell into the
hands of Iul Southern returning boards.
He had the money and needed only to
spend it iu response to the offers of s*le
that poured in upon the National Com
mittee. Nor was his opportunity gone
whiiU the canvass of the corrupt return
ing board was Completed. He had only
to go to Washington with Li; money
bags, for the carpet-bag Congressmen
were there anxious for the ravishing to
begin and each anxious to be the first
ravished. That he is uct president to
day is because he did not choose to buy
the title. If other hands were as clean
of perjury as his are clean of bribery he
would now be in the White House.
The burthen of the speeches at the
Corker meeting last night was the dis
agreement between them and the Dc*-
mocracy on the financial question, and
yet Capt. Corker, or some one else, in his
letter ul acceptance, puts him squarely
on the Democratic Greenback platform.
for the first time within our recollec
tion the name of Beast Butler, the spoon
thief and insulter of Southern women,
was greeted with applause last night at
the Corker meeting. Has Kearney, the
Communist, reformed Butler, or has tbe
Corker Democracy retrograded?

one hundred and fifty Cheyennes under Dull

that when the bostiles were informed that
their destination was Camp Robinson they
refused to go, and, scattering over the

revolvers. Artillery has been sent from here

The Fruits of Independent ism
Louisiana.
A Washington dispatch to the New
Y’ork iW(Radical) says:
The Louisiana Democratic State Com
mittee are in a state of alarm over the
Congressional canvass in that State, and
have indicated to Democrats here that
unless a considerable sum of money is
speedily raised, the election of both
Wells and Anderson, two of the Repub
lican candidates, is almost certain. The
canvass in some of the other districts
does not inspire the Democrats with
great confidence on account of a coalition
between the Republicans and Nationa
lists. On the whole, the Democratic
Committee are badly frightened, and
their appeal for money is regarded as
strong evidence that the Louisiana dele
gation will not be solidly Democratic.
The Washington correspondent of the
Baltimore Sun says:
“It is true that alarm does exist among
the Democratic leaders in Louisiana as
to the result of the November election in
that State. A gentleman fresh from
New Orleans says that -members of the
Democratic State Committee admit that
the chances of the opposition are of the
best character, and that one member of
the committee said he believed b »th
Wells and Anderson, who are candidates
for the House of Representatives, will be
elected. The Democratic Committee,
like some of the Republican Committees
up this way, are sadly in need of funds,
and have appealed in vain to New Y'ork.
It may be they will find they were scared
without due cause. If their apprehen
sions should be realized the returning
board of Louisiana would practically
represent the State of Louisiana in the
next House, as, in addition to Wells and
Anderson, Messrs. Collum and Castel
lanos, the attorneys of rtie returning
board, are also running for Congress."
What is called “Nationalism” in
Louisiana is “Independentism" in Geor
gia, and wffiat the Nationals are threaten
ing to do in Louisiana the Independents
are endeavoring to accomplish in this
State.

The Buffalo Express, in its partisan
zeal, unwittingly makes out a strong
case against Mr. Hayes by its comments
upon the Tribune “cipher dispatches."
After saying that the dispatches would
have afforded “ample ground for im
peachment” of 3fr. Tilden, if President,
it states:
“The sole purpose of the plots was to
make Tilden President, and, if he did
not know, it was his business to know,
what sort of means his followers and
hangers-on were using to compass that
end. * * * And since he was the
man who was to wear the prize, and
since it is beyond dispute that those who
sought to bribe the electoral colleges
would have taken no step that he disap
proved, it is Tilden, as the principal in
the plot, who must bv all rules of law
and of morals be held chiefly responsi
ble for the crime committed. ’ There is
no logical, no honorable escape from this
conclusion. Tilden is from this day a
blackened and tainted man, a hypocrite
unveiled, a c irrupt and unscrupulous
politician from whose dominion the
American people have had an almost
Providential deliverance."
The Express seems to forget, remarks
the Philadelphia Record, that in the worst
light in which the “cipher dispatches”
may be placed—that of an attempt to
buy the Presidency—they pale before the
fact that Mr. Hayes succeeded through
the higher bid of his friends, and that
he himself has not only recognized but
confirmed the original bargain by plac
ing forty of the bribed conspirators in
lucrative offices. If,, therefore, the mere
attempt of Tilden’s friends to place him
in power renders him infamous, what
term can be applied to his successful
opponent, who admits his knowledge of
the corrupt means by which he succeeded
in fulfilling the contract ?
A nephew of Colonel Robert Ingersoll
was cruelly hazed at Cornell University
last Saturday nigfct. He was bound
hand and foot, gagged, and then taken
to a stone wall. Here he was suspended
head downward, and was given to un
derstand that unless he would do as ho
was bidden he would be dropped to the
ground. His moustache was shaved off,
bis face colored, and his clothes ruined
with paint. The Cornell University is a
