THURSDAY, JULY 3,1879.
TAPPING THE WIRES.
The Times' financial article on the wheat
market states that the preponderating in
fluence of the foreign supply had scarcely
affected prices. Official reports of the
harvest in the various countries are very
unfavorable, and buyers are mainly relying
on American supplies. In Southern Russia
the crop was first affected by drought, and
what was left the grasshoppers and corn
beetles completely annihilated.
Another terrible railroad accident oc
curred on the Metropolitan Elevated Rail*
way, at 2 o'clock yesterday morning. The
regular up trains had stopped running,
wheu a force of workmen were sent out to
make repairs upon the line. When at
Franklin street station an engine and some
cars were discovered coming up the road.
David Stadley, one of the employes, volun-
_ teered to warn the approaching train, when
he was struck by a train from the opposite
direction and mangled in a horrible manner,
his body falling to the street below. Death
was instantaneous.
The debate in the French Chamber of
Deputies yesterday upon the seizure of In
Lanteme resulted in a victory for the Prefect
of Police.
A member of the Society of Zurich, speak
ing in the Interest of the cotton trade, in
which Swiss manufacturers have four hun
dred million francs invested, is strongly op
posed to protective measures, and says that
the Increase of German duties on English
cotton will cause a large trade in mixed silk
and cotton goods, now enjoyed by Crefeld,
Prussia, to pass to Zurich.
The Minister of Finance at Madrid, speak
ing in the Cortes of the agitation against
protective duties in consequence, of the
dearness of bread, said that the condition
of the wheat crop was not such as to re
quire any modification of the law.
The London Homing Ibsi, speaking of the
new University bill, say3 the Irish members
of the House of Commons are not disposed
to accept the measure, while some describe
It os an insult to the country.
The Republicans of San Francisco have
nominated J. G. Phelps for Railroad Com
missioner of that district. The Working-
men's Municipal Convention have nominat
ed D. L. Smoot as City and County Attor
ney.
The Americans in London celebrate the
Fourth of July by a banquet at Westminster
Palace Hotel on Saturday.
The liabilities of Thornby & Co., cotton
spinners,'are stated at £65,000.
The California Democrats, in their plat
form, state that, in their opinion, the Union
is Indissoluble, a union of indestructible
States under the paramount authority of
the Constitution in all powers not reserved
to the States; that suffrage is a privilege
conferred exclusively by the States, and any
attempt by the General Government to in
terfere with elections in the States is dan
gerous to the liberties of the people. The
platform denounces Mr. Hayes' abuse of
the veto power as unconstitutional, and
earnestly approves the action of both houses
of Congress in their efforts to repeal the
laws by which the rights of voters are inter
fered with. The platform was adopted
unanimously.
The Etoilc Edge states that a placard was
posted on the wall of the Royal Palace of
Locken, near Brussels, on Sunday last, in
which the life of the King was threatened,
if he gave his approval to the bill depriving
the clergy of the control of elementary edu
cation, which recently passed the Belgian
Parliament.
Advices from Port-au-Prince, Hayti, re
ceived at Kingston, Jamaica, state that the
populace have fired upon the Senate while
in session. The Senators fled, but many
- -were shot. The fighting still continues.
The Peru-Ckilian war still continues. Dis
patches from South America state that the
Chilians are preparing a grand coup against
Lima. The plan is to transport tenor fifteen
thousand men to Chorillas, and, while their
Iron-clads occupy the attention of the Peru
vians at Callao, march with this force upon
Lima, which is almost defenseless. The
main army of Peruvians is far distant, and
It is thought that if successful this move
ment would probably end the war.
Another effort is being made to have
Marshal Fitzsimons removed. The charges
are that he has received money from the
government for the feeding and transporta
tion of prisoners and witnesses who paid
their own expenses. The charges are to be
Investigated by Attorney General Devens.
A fire broke out in a deserted winze of
Yellow Jacket mine on the night of July 1.
Bulkheads were erected and the extension of
the fire restricted,but the smoke and gas were
driven into the bullion mine. Two miners
sure missing, who are supposed to have been
suffocated. The fire is under control.
The Louisville and Nashville Railroad
has declared a dividend of 2% per cent, for
the six months ending July I.
The Louisiana Democrats have nominated
Hugh J. Glenn for Governor by acclama*
tlon.
The Louisiana Constitutional Convention
adopted an ordinance authorizing the estab
lishment ol lotteries in that State, and re
cognizing as binding the contract with the
Louisiana Lottery Company. *
The Steam Power and Heating Company
of New York yesterday filed articles of in
corporation, the object of which is to fur
nish steam for motive power, cooking pur
poses, hasting houses and melting snow
from the streets in winter. The capital
atock is $50,000,000, divided Jnto 50,000
chares.
The members of the National Board of
Health and the Mississippi Valley Sanitary
Council met at Memphis yesterday and per
fected rules and regulations for the govern
ment of railroads and steamboats, and
recommended the establishment of posts of
inspection for the summer months.
The German Parliament has approved the
relating to the duty on raw, corded
* and dyed cotton wadding and cotton yarn.
When Mahmoud Nedin Pasha was sum
moned to Constantinople, in order to allay
the apprehensions of the Ambassadors as to
his being appointed Grand Vizier, he was
ordered to "ask to be allowed to reside at
the Turkish capital.
The receipts from internal revenue for
the fiscal year which expired June 30th
was a little over $113,036,328. For the
fiscal year before they were $110,033,988.
This a gain of some three millions, de
spite the reduction of the tax on tobacco.
In reality, though, the receipts from to
bacco have fallen off. The Washington
Star says the gain is due to the more
thorough enforcement of the revenue
laws in the South. The breaking up of
the tobacco ring in New Orleans adds
$10,000 a month to the internal revenue
x>f the country.
Professor Gamgec has written a letter
to United States Senator Harris, which
was read in the Senate Saturday, pro
posing, in view of the obstacles thrown
in the way of the construction of his re
frigerating ship, to forego all profit under
tiie contract for its construction, on
condition that he supervise the same,
.that his superintending engineer, Wm.
Q. .Eli and staff, be employed, and that
be be protected from actual loss by the
payment of all expenses.
General Beauregard declines to serve
on the Mississippi River Commission,
partly on account of the “invidious dis
tinction” made in the bill between mili
taryand civil engineers, and because his
engagements will prevent him from giv
ing his whole time to the important
work.
The Georgia Legislature.
Hon. H. G. Wright, Representative
from Richmond, writing from Atlanta to
his paper, the Augusta Chronicle and
Conatitutionalut, indulges in some specu
lations as to the probable length of the
present session of the General Assembly
and the scope of its action. He disagrees
with what he says seems to be the pre
vailing opinion among the members that
the session will continue for two months.
He says:
“I am one of those who do not think
that the Legislature will be here longer
than a month, or six weeks at the furthest
It is possible, but only barely possible,
that something, in the shape of a new
investigation, may occur to lengthen the
sitting, but with only the work to be
done that is now cut ont, I see no reason
why it cannot be done in thirty or forty
days. Statutes will have to be enacted,
or attempts will have to be made to en
act them, to vitalize those provisions
of the new constitution which make
lobbying a crime; which provide
for the punishment of fraud and
reaching property of the deotor
concealed from the creditor; which re
gulate insurance companies; which pro
vide for the prevention of extortions,
discriminations and rebates by -railway
corporations; make uniform the jurisdic
tion and proceedings of all courts of the
same grade; and require the public print
ing to be let to the lowest bidder.
The homestead and jury laws were at
tended to at the last session. There is
no reason for anticipating a conflict out
side of the committee rooms over any
of these measures. It is true that a large
number of local bills will be introduced
—perhaps just as many as under the old
dispensation, but the disposition of them
will not consume a great deal of time
In purely local matters the wishes of the
representatives of the county affected
usually govern the decision of the com
mittee and of the General Assembly, and
it is only where these representatives are
divided that a contest takes place.
‘The reports of the majority and mi
nority of the committee which last win
ter investigated the conduct an J motives
of the Governor in placing the State’s
endorsement upon the bonds of the
Northeastern Railroad will doubtless
provoke a long and rancorous discussion.
It is highly probable that a number of
substitutes for both reports will be of
fered. My own opinion, at present, is
that the report of the maiori;y will be
adopted with little if any alteration. By
the way, there are politicians here
who say that if the recent recon-
cil ation of those life-long oppo
nents, Messrs. Hill and Stephens, be
indeed sincere, that the conjunction
bodes no good to the Colquitt-Gordon
party. They assert it means a powerful
and aggressive opposition, led by Hill,
Stephens, Felton, Speer and Toombs,
which will either defeat Colquitt in the
Nominating Convention or bring about
his overthrow at the polls by means of
an Independent candidate for Governor.
There is evidently a good deal of the
sensational in these statements, but it
cannot be denied that if such a league
should be formed it would be a potent
factor in Georgia politics. In the mean
time Governor Colquitt's friends are
calm and confident, and seem satisfied he
has a hold on the affections of the masses
that cannot be easily shaken. ”
Mr. Wright says the advocates of the
Moffett bell-punch and a law imposing a
tax upon dogs in the interest of sheep
husbandly will press their measures to a
vote at this session. Both measures will,
however, be strongly opposed. Notwith
standing the efforts of Professor Orr, the
Commissioner of Education, to procure
the passage of the-proposed legislation,
the opponents of the bell-punch seem to
be stronger than they were last winter,and
are confident that they will be able to
kill the bill. There is also more opposi
tion to the dog law than was anticipated,
and it is possible that the bill may fail.
The first of these measures is believed
by many to be of doubtful expediency.
However that may be, its adoption is
not of essential necessity, either as a
means of enforcing the liquor tax or
of supporting the public schools. It
is in the power of the Legislature to ef
fect both of these objects by other and
more certain legislation. But the dog
law, as it is called, is a measure of public
necessity, which should no longer be
postponed in deference to the opinions
of the owners of the thousands
of worthless dogs by which the
country is infested, and whose
depredations are destructive to sheep
husbandly, one of the most profitable
and important industries of the country.
If the Legislature would encourage wool
growing in Georgia it must discourage
the unlimited increase of dogs. To do
this it should lose no time in devising
some proper measure imposing a tax on
dogs and making the owners of sheep
killing dogs responsible for their depre
dations on sheep herds.

For the
The Philosophy of History.
In the Revue de Belgique for April,
1879, is an article, “Souvenirs da Mex-
ique,”
A “Highly Respected” Boston Fob-
geu.—J. F. Edmonds, aged sixty, a
highly respecteipcitizen, in the flour and
commission business in Boston, was ar
rested Saturday night for forgiDg the
names of Amasa Crafts and Sands &
Furbcr to a large amount. The amount
of his forgeries in the hands of the
Maverick Bank of Boston aggregates
$80,000. Edmonds is a prominent Radi
cal, has been a Selectman and an Aider-
man in the village of Newton, and doubt
less a deacon. That be had plenty of
friends is proved by the fact that when
it was known that he was in trouble they
raised $40,000 to help him out of it
When, however, it was found that $40,
000 more would be needed, the attempt
to save him from the consequences of
his misdeeds was given up. He is said
to be suffering from severe mental de
pression, and, os in the case of all highly
respectable, moral rascals in Boston, he
has the deep sympathy of the higher
civilization of the Hub.
Says the San Francisco Chronicle of
the 17th inst: “A thousand more Chi
nese have arrived in this port on the
City of Tokio. The stale wgr cry that
'the Chinese must go,’ appears to be
rather an insufficient remedy for the
growing evil of California. The New
Constitution party will provide a more
effective ope when placed in control of
the State government. A thousand Chi
nese recently arrived at Portland, Ore
gon, which are said to be the vanguard
of twenty thousand more that have con
tracted to come. Great alarm prevail?,
and the outlook is certainly threatening
for the whole Pacific coast”
Business is improving in England as
well as here, the exports ot foreign
and colonial produce from England in
May were largely in excess of those for
May, 1878. An increase is also visible
in the exports of engineering work and
machinery, and a large increase in the
export of pig iron. The New York
World says: “These promising symptoms
from over the water are ol special value
because they go to show that the revival
of activity in the United States coincides
with a world wide revival, and is the
result therefore of a genuine commercial
recovery likely to last, and not a merely
spasmodic and evanescent movement”
General Grant's Movements.—Ad
vices from Hong Kong to June 1 state
that General Grant was then en route
from Tientsin (0 Pekin, and that consid
erable change in tfan programme of his
future movements is indicated ft is
now believed probable that he may return
to China after visiting Japan, and pro
ceed to Australia. His plans are subject
to so many sudden alterations, however,
that nothing absolutely certain is known
month in advance
from which I translate the follow
ing extracts:
“Mexico was a dependency of Spain
from its conquest by Hernando Cortez
until the revolution excited by the (Cath
olic) priest Hidalgo In September, 1810.
Hidalgo was soon captured, with three
other chiefs of the movement, by the
Spaniards, and all four were hnng'on the
31st of July, 1811. On the 31st of Janu
ary, 1813, General Jose Maria Morelos
and Ignacio Raymond declared openly
for independence and continued the work
begun by their unfortunate companions.
On the 16th of November/ 1813, they
convened a congress at Chilpancingo, by
which the independence of the country
was proclaimed. The first constitution
of the new republic was promulgated at
Apatzingan the 24th of October, 1814.
Augustine Iturbide had joined the
revolutionists, and had been assigned to
the command of the Mexican army. He
successfully achieved the effort at revo
lution on the 34th of August, 1831, when
he signed the treaty of peace with the
Spanish General at Iguaia. This done,
Iturbide entered the City of Mexico at
the head of his victorious army oa the
37th of September, 1831.
“If Iturbide,” continues the article,
‘had, after his victory, been able to
moderate his ambition, he would have
saved his own life, secured his family
from a life of misery, and averted from
his country the wretched disorders which
have since afflicted it. He had the weak-
to accept the title of Emperor, of-
fered him by an ignorant, enthusiastic
people at the instigation of Pio Marcha,
a Sergeant of his army, and as such was
crowned and sworn in the Cathedral at
Mexico on the 31st of July, 1833. It is
from this e;>och that dates the era of
‘pronunci&mentos,’ so frequent in this
country [Mexico].”
Santa Anna revolted against Iturbide,
who, to save his country from civil war,
abdicated the throne the 19th of March,
1833, and ten months afterwards, on the
33d of April, 1834, left Mexico as a vol
untary exile. Ignorant that during his
exile sentence of death had been passed
upon him, Iturbide returned to Mexico,
where he had been led by his partisans
to believe he would be received with
open arms, was taken prisoner and shot
on the 19lh ot July, 1834, at Padilla.
'From the death of Iturbide,” says
the article, “Mexico has undergone fre
quent changes of government. Some
times central, sometimes federal; admin
istered sometimes by Catholics, some
times by liberals.sometimes by dictators,
sometimes by regencies, later by another
empire, and to day by a republican ele
ment, such as it is, but liberal. Santa
Anna alone held seven times the reins of
power; and from 1834 to 1873 the gov
ernment changed hands fifty-seven times
—once a year as the mean.”
What a national record 1 and what a
lesson it tesches to the peoples of other
republics! For if, as Dionysius of Hali
carnassus is credited by Bolingbroke
with saying, "History is Philosophy
teaching by examples,” we may reasona
bly conclude, as human nature is the
same in ail men, modified only by cir
cumstances, that the history of the Mexi
can republic may be that also of other
democratic republican governments, even
of our own. The danger to us is in
creased by the spirit of sectionalism pro
duced by our late civil war, and the in
troduction of the bayonet into matters of
a purely civil nature, to control them, by
the victorious party.
It may not, therefore, be amiss at this
time, the anniversary of the Declaration
of oar National Independence, to review,
briefly, the political condition of our
country, to examine the dangers that
threaten our peace, and to consider what
measures arc necessary to preserve, and
to transmit to our children, the blessings
of liberty bequeathed to us.
From the adoption of our Federal Con
stitution, which went into operation on
the 4th of Mureh, 1789, to the year 1877,
a period of eighty-eight years, every Presi
dent of the United States was elected and
installed in office, strictly, in the manner
pointed out by the Constitution. In’1877
the bayonet overruled the Constitution by
charging upon, and trampling under foot
the expressed will of the people through
their electoral r-diege, and ignoring the
candidate chosen in accordance with the
provisions of the Constitution, seated in
the Presidential chair a usurper, whom
the people had rejected. This was the
first “pronunciamento” in this republic
against its fundamental law. The first
leaf from the pages of American Repub
lican history.
Having obtained possession of the gov
ernment, this revolutionary party has
sought to maintain itself in power by
attempting to undermine, or overthrow
by unconstitutional exercise of official
powers, every measure that, directly or
indirectly, involved the general welfare,
or the security of the blessings of lib
erty. It has sought to enslave the people
in bondage to a monied aristocracy, of
national banks, capitalists sod bondhold
ers, by destroying the people's currency
of gold and silver, and by unconstitu
tional legislation to establish gold, the
dearest and rarest of metals used in
finance, as the only legal tender. It has
appropriated the people’s money, cor
ruptly, to enrich its adherents. It has
protected its partisans from impeachment
and prosecution when charged with in
famous crimes; and released from con
dign punishment those who have been
cqnvicted. It destroys domestic Iran-
quiflty by keeping alive and promoting
vindictive sep'tiopai passipns pvo^ed by
civil war, which should hare bepn buried
with the surrender at Appomatox; ani)
by endeavoring to demoralize and destroy
for its own ends the agricultural labor of
ong section of the country, and the mar
ket it affords f or the industrial products
of the other section. )t disestablishes
justice by the appointment of partisan
judges for political services, without re
gard to the qualifications and integrity
requisite for the purity of the bench; and
by filling the jury boxes with ignorant,
incompetent, and purchasable jurymen.
It denies free elections by surrounding
the polls with bayonets, under the orders
of partisan supervisors, who can prevent
independent voting, and if they choose,
voting at all. It has organized an army
of officeholders to maintain it in power
under penalty of removal-from office,
abridging the freedom Of speech and ac
tion guaranteed by the ‘Constitution.
And it prostitutes the veto power to the
perpetuating of unconstitutional and in
jurious legislating threatening the sta
bility of Democratic Republican govern
meat, the Union formed by theXonsti-
tion, and ti/e Rational, State, and indi
vidual liberty, which that Union ‘ was
entered intoTor their preservation and
transmission to posterity.
To these dangers are added the apathy
of the educated and intelligent in regard
to political matters, and their consequent
manipulation by Ignorance, inexperience,
are elected to public and politicabpfflces.
These are the dangers that threaten our
peace, and how shall we escape them T
To this question there is but one an
swer, and that is—to ref<£m our working
politics. The people of all classes must
awake to the fact that the destruction of
our political system is inevitable if we
thus go on drifting, broken away from
our sheet anchor—the Constitution. They
most return to first principles, and to
honest men to enforce them. They must
see that apfimnutigm is the entering
wedge to rend in two the Union, and
that there is safety only in a national
unity of government, as made by the
Constitution, watching for its preserva
tion with jealous anxiety.. Open hostili
ty must be declared against the revolu
tionary party who, by usurpation, fraud
and intimidation have seized upon the
government, and would centralize the
sovereign power of the people in the
hands of a sectional faction. Banding
together in the name of the Great
Jehovah and the Constitution, this Ticon-
deroga of Radical imperialism must ho
captured and held subject to the sovereign
power—the people Rising in their
might, as did their ancestors at Lexing
ton, Bunker Hill, Philadelphia, Charles
ton and Savannah, the people North,
South, East and West, must come forth
for the Constitution and for liberty. For
“ what participation hath justice with
injustice? Or what fellowship hath
light with darkness?” And what con
cord hath the Constitution with usurpa
tion? What agreement hath the people
with men who have set aside their ex
pressed will? Can-they harmonize with
them, going in and out among them, and
partaking with them of the fruits of cor
ruption? No I they must go out and be
separate from them if they wish to pre
serve the blessings of liberty. They
must cling to the promises of the Consti
tution, and marching with the National
Democratic Republican B^ty, under the
banner of the National Charter, and fol
lowing the leadership of a modem Wash
ington, conquer again their independence
from bayonets.
These are not empty words, but “phil
osophy teaching by examples.” Other
republics have entered upon the road to
rain, to their'destruction, seduced by as
ingenious plausibilities and metaphysical
subtleties, as now are urged in defense
of Mr. Hayes' usurpation, and after he
has served its purpose, of a third term
President—but another name for a Mex
ican phase of dictatorship. The progress
downward is easy and flower dressed—
the return upwards difficult and rough.
Think well, my countrymen, of what
your future shall be, and choose you
this day whom you will serve, the Con
stitution or the usurping Radical party;
and remember that once committed to a
centralized or monarchical government
there is no return to the Constitution and
liberty except by revolution and blood.
Prevention is better than cure, therefore
declare now for the party that declares
for the Constitution, while you have the
power to do so.

Atlahta, Qjl., July 2.—The Legislature

The Senate was called to order by Presi
dent Lester, with prayer by Rev. David E.
Butler.
The President made a brief opening ad
dress, congratulating the members on their
retain in good health, and declaring the
danger to be too much legislation, not too
little.
The Governor was informed that the Leg
islature had reassembled, and was ready to
receive any communication from him.
A resolution by Mr. Russell opposing the
aid of the General Government to private
corporations was referred to the Committee
on the State of the Republic.
Bills on third reading were taken up
and the following passed:
To privide the manner of changing county
The Philadelphia Ledger says of the
Federal deputy marshals and election su
pervisors, that “the laws relating to those
officials should be modified. A great
deal of the money heretofore appropri
ated for their pay has been wasted.
There can Ire no doubt about that The
proof of it is at hand here in Philadel
phia, where six or seven hundred depu
ties were appointed for the last Novem
ber election, without a shadow of neces
sity for them; and supervisors were in
like manner put forward for appointment
for no other reason or necessity except to
secure a part of their pay to eke out
'election expenses’ for precinct bummers
and strikers.” The Courier-Journal
thinks, this is very good Republi
can testimony against this favor
ite Republican method of controll-
elections for party through the
bummers from the slums. Lost year
these Republican pimps, strikers and
bummers cost $222,714 24. At Philadel
phia every Marshal was shown at the
recent investigation to have been a
Republican worker, and they were
drawn from the vilest classes of the city,
just as Davenport’s Republican aids are
drawn from the “strikers” of New York
The business of the Philadelphia Repub
lican bummers last year seemed to be to
get drunk and keep Democratic voters
from going to the polls. We agree with
the Ledger that money spent in such a
business by the Federal Government is
money stolen from the tax-payers to pro
mote the interests of one political party.
To compensate jurors.
To exempt certain property from taxa
tion.
To define poisoning.
Toprovide for the return and collection of

To restore to each county the office of
Tax Receiver.
The House was called to order by Speaker
Bacon. A large quorum was present.

of DeKalb, and Burke, of Towns, to fill
vacancies. Both gentlemen took the oath
of office.
The House notified the Governor that it
was ready to attend to business.
Mr. Bacon, of Bibb, offered a bill fixing
the time for persons to be indicted for homi
cide.
A paragraph from the constitution rela
tive to local bills was ordered read by the
Speaker.
The Governor announced that he had no
formal communication for the Assembly.
After debate, the whole matter of local
bills and the manner of introduction, was
referred to the Judiciary Committee.
Mr. Rossell, of Chatham, offered a bill
authorizing the Superior Court clerks to re
quire a deposit or payment of costs.
Mr. Russell, of Chatham—A bill to au
thorize each county to inaugurate a system
of drainage.
Mr. Crawford, of Muscogee—A bill to ex

taries Public in appeal cases.
Mr. Jordan, of Wilkes—A bill declaring
certain acts of the laborers in obtaining sup
plies from employers as misdemeanors.
Mr. Garrard, of Muscogee—A bill to es
tablish State banks in certain cities; also a
bill to make it penal for a Tax Collector to
hold in his hands for any time money col
lected as taxes exceeding five hundred dol
lars; also a bill to amend section 930 of the
Revfeed Code.
A large number of bills were read a second
time.
The hours of the session were fixed at 9
to 1 o'clock daily.
The Speaker announced that the death of
CoL Alston left a vacancy in the Chairman
ship of the Penitentiary Committee, and
the committee was Instructed to select a
Chairman.
Senator Hill has written a letter declaring
that he will not personally appear before
that body in the Colqoltt-Murphy contro
versy, but will trust to the patriotism of the
Assembly. He says in his letter: “From
the beginning of this investigation I have
declared in every form that I would not
under any circumstances act the part of a
prosecutor of any one. Neither time, In
clination or propriety would permit me to
do so.”
The committee on Die investigation of the
Wild Land Office will report to-morrow.
The result will be a long investigation.
Opinions as to the length of the session
are various. All agree on forty days, while
most of them think it will last two months.
The Legislature will probably adjourn to
morrow to Monday.
