Hox. Emory Speer Interviewed.—
Hon. Emory Speer, the Independent
Representative of the Ninth Congres
sional district, was in Atlanta last week,
and visited tbe Constitution office. That
paper says:
So much has been said of the views
of the Hon. Emory on the alleged
movement of Mr. Stephens and Dr.
Felton out of the Democratic camp, we
tried an interview on w ith him. This
wise young Congressman heard us out
patiently, and then pitting his head on
one side, remarked quietly':
“Way up in my r district there is
homely'adage which says; ‘It is the still
sow that eats the slops!' I am a strong-
believer in these old sayings!”
And that is all we could get out
of the Hon. Emory Speer, of the Ninth.
Does the Independent Representative
of the Ninth district mean to intimate
that he is on a still hunt for “slops.”
The desperate struggle for the politi
cal possession of Indiana in 1880 has
commenced. It is charged that large
numbers of R publican negroes are being
colonized in the State, and the Democrats
threaten to offset the movement by
bringing over ten thousand white Ken-
iuckians and distributing them around
-as farm laborers and artisans. It is sug
jested that a better plan would be for the
Democratic Legislature this winter to
Annex the entire western end of Ken-
Ttucky until after the Presidential elec
tion. Amicable arrangements might be
jn»d«> to borrow at least a dozen counties.
Savannah's Commercial Growth.
The growing importance of' Savannah
as a shipping port is beginning to attract
attention in commercial cities at home
and abroad. The Baltimore Sun, com
menting on the arrival at our wharves of
British steamers of the largest class dur
ing the past few weeks, says:
“A few years ago the arrival of an
English steamship at the port of Savan
nah, Ga., was heralded as something
worthy of note, but this year some of the
largest and finest ships of the British
commercial marine have visited that city
and taken away* immense cargoes. Up to
Tuesday last the receipts of cotton for the
season at Savannah aggregated 348,593
bales, against 348,230 for last season, Mon
day’s receipts being 7,079 bales, against
4,006 bales for the same day last year.
During last season Savannah was visited
by forty-one steamships, whilst already
this season thirty steamships, the major
ity of them of larger tonnage than those
that came last year, have been loaded or
are receiving their cargoes, in addition
to which a number have called at Tybee
for orders. Baltimore sustains intimate
business relations with Savannah, and
our people will rejoice at the bright
future which seems to be opening for
her.”
The above i3 certainly a good showing
for our port, but it is only a beginning of
what may be achieved in the future by
well directed enterprise and a liberal ex
penditure on our harbor improvements,
to which we already’ owe so much.
The great importance of the pro
jected and progressing improvements
of cur river is not fully real
ized by many who daily look upon
the foreign shipping in port, and read in
tbe Mornixo News reports of our in
creasing exports and imports. Our past
history, not less than our present experi
ence, should convince us that upou her
commerce depends the future great
ness of Savannah. Manufactures aDd
mechanic arts will contribute to
l he general prosperity, but they will
be dependent upon and be incidental to
our commerce. Tbe knowledge of tbi3
fact should stimulate our exertions to
make our port accessible to the largest
class of vessels. To this end the projec
ted improvements of our river and har
bor is of vital interest not only to the
merchant and lougshoremen, who are
directly benefited by tffe increase of
shipping, but to every citizen, be he the
wealthy real estate ownei; or the day
laborer, all of whom have an interest in
deepening and perfecting the channel
which leads from our wharves to the
ocean. We now have a large cotton
trade, the fleecy staple being brought
thousands of miles, and through many
States, to sweli the receipts of our port.
This trade, however, is but a tithe of the
mmense c unmerce that will centre in
Savannah when the channel of our liver
is deepened to twenty or twenty-two feet.
With this depth of water (it is expected
that the first named figures will be
reached next season) we will see grain
exporters and dealers in all kinds of pro
duce iookiag this way for an outlet where
steamers of heavy draft can load, and
where the climate permits of handlin
such cargoes in the season when
Northern harbors arc frozen up. With
the increased demand for port fa
cilities and accommodation will be
built elevators, and every’ hous<
on the river front from boundary
boundary will be occupied. With the next
figures realized—viz.: Twenty two feet—
net work of elevated railroads will
extend along the river front, and a two-
story set of wharves—the present level
for present purposes, and that of the
second or upper level for through freights
and railroad tracks—will be constructed
This is no stretch of imagination, but
a forcaste of what the necessities of com
mercc will demand, and which will as
suredly be realized in the near future.
We have already alluded to the in
creased depth of water and the work
about to be inaugurated to still further
improve the navigation of the river, by
confining the water, as far as possible, to
the north channel, and the dredging of
the several shoals. This work is regu
larly progressing, and as means are sup
plied will be pushed forward to speedy
completion. It is gratifying to know
that the government is duly impressed
with the importance of our river and
harbor improvements to the commerce
of the world, a fact that is indi
cated by the liberal estimate
(•$129,300) for the ensuing year. In this
connection it is but just to state that
much credit is due to our delegation in
Congress for pressing the importance of
the work on the attention of Congress, to
Col. E. C. Anderson, who while Mayor
of the city and since has
given much of his time aud at
tention to the subject, and also to Gen. Q.
A. Gillmore, United States Engineer,who
has taken a personal interest iu the pro
gross and proper conduct of the plans
for effecting the desired improvement of
our river channel.
Industrial Progress of the Colored
People In North Carolina.
On Tuesday last there was opened
Raleigh an agricultural fair, gotten up
aud managed exclusively by the colored
people of that State. The procession to.
the fair grounds was quite imposing,
including as it did eight military com
panies composed principally of colored
men, and a number of fire companies.
Another feature of the occasion was that
the opening address was delivered by the
Governor of the State—Governor Jarvis.
The exhibition is said by the Raleigh
papers to be highly creditable to the
colored people in every respect, and
they refer to it as showiug that the ex
hibitors are not shiftless folks, and that
they are earnest in their endeavors
improve and elevate their race. We
learn further that since the exit
of the carpqjl-bagger and the
withdrawal of the Freedman’
Bureau they have learned self-reliance,
and now cultivate friendly relations with
the whites and have prospered in making
their living under the law like other
people. They have many colored
schools, a considerable number of mili
tary companies, support five newspapers
published and edited by men of their
own color, and it is cheering to be told
that these newspapers “are certainly con
ducted in the interest of good govern
ment and with a view to promote natural
and friendly relations between the races.
All these things go to show that in North
Carolina, as in Georgia, when the colored
people ceased to be nursed and coddled
by the Freedman’s Bureau and cajoled
by the carpet bagger they began to adi*pt
themselves to their new conditions, and,
having learned the wisdom of self-de
peudence, they seek to live in liarmon;
with their white neighbors.

The Ne# York Election.—The cor
rected election returns from Kings
county give to the Democratic candidate
for Lieutenant Governor, Mr. Potter,
some four hundred more votes than he
was credited with after the informal
count. Hoskins has still, however, as
suming that the official canvass in New
York city will verify the figures first
published, a plurality of 825. The com
pletion of the New York canvass may
slightly change these figures, but it can
hardly extinguish Hoskins’ plurality and
show the election of Potter. The elec
tion of the other Republican canJidales,
Soule excepted, seems to be beyond all
possibility of being affected by any
changes in the returns. None of them
has, however, polled an absolute ma-
jority of the vote of the State; their
majorities are merely over the vote cast
for the Democratic candidates for the
same positions.
Governor Garcelou, of Maine, made a
trood reply to the roaring Blaine and his
crowd of ex Governors and supes who
called at his office with a request that
they be allowed to examine the returns
and revise the tabulation which the law
ful officers were makiug. The Governor
told them that he was surprised that men
occupying the positions which they oc
cupicd in society should make such a re
quest ; and he could not understand, he
said, how they had arrived at the con
clusion that the officers designated by
the law to tabulate the returns were
about to count out any officer, “unless
your guilty consciences prompted the
idea.” Blaine and his followers retired
into a corner.” N
Despite the vigorous waving of the en
sanguined under and over garment by
tbe stalwarts in Ohio during the last 6ix
months, five colonies have been organ
ized in Cincinnati, in that same period,
to settle some in Tennessee, some in Ala
bama; and, up to date, not one of their
number has been shot, or cut, or tarred
and feathered, or otherwise bulldozed,
and made to feel uncomfortable and un»
happy generally. Something is wrong,
surely.
V/. W. Belknap was one of the con
spicuous figures behind Grapt jp the pro
cession at Chicago. Such will continue
follow the “old man” wherever he
rides in prosperity.
The rumor that General Noyes intends
to retire next spring from his present
post as Minister to France seems to be
well founded. A dispatch from Washing-
ton to the Cincinnati Gazette states it as
positive fact, and naively adds that
is at present making an extended Eastern
trip, desiring to improve his opportunities
for foreign travel before his return.
It would be, the Washington Star re
marks, more creditable to General Noyes
and more satisfactory to the country
he would do his four or five months of
foreign travel after he had resigned his
office, instead of before that time, and
while he is still pretending to discharge
its duties. His opportunities would l»e
just as great then as now, although he
might not be enjoying them at an ex
pense of something like fifty dollars per
day to the people of the United States.
It is the fact that our foreign ministers
themselves see no necessity for remaining
at their-posts that, more than anything
else, impresses the mind of the public
with the belief that such officials are of
no practical use, and that the whole sys
tern of foreign missions might well be
abolished.

GRAY & O’BRIEN. B
During the political canvass in San
Francisco last fall a number of the can
didates of the Workingmen’s party made
public pledges to pay into the city trea
sury, iu case of their election, a portion
of the salary attaching to the offices
for which they were running. Thk
pledge was made use of in the canvas:
to influence votes in support of the
Workingmen, and the nominees of that
party were elected to a number of im
portant city offices. Judge Wright, of
the County Court, has decided that in
giving this pledge the candidates violated
the laws regulating elections, and are
therefore ineligible to the offices. The
court held that the pledge to return to
the city a part of the regular salary of
the office was, iu effect, using money to
promote the election of the candidate,
and therefore illegal. Unless the
Kearneyites can secure a reversal of this
decision from the Supreme Court of the
Slate they will not get the offices to
which they were elected.
When a Post Office Department official
who receives a salary of $3,500 finds
himself able to purchase a $50,000 house
iu Washington, it must be conceded
that there is a very handsome margin for
profit in office holding. But Sccmd As
sistant Postmaster General Brady’s case
does not illustrate the existence of this
margin nearly so conclusively as do the
cases of some other prominent officials.
Secretary Sherman’s, for instance, who has
become a millionaire ou a salary which
has never been above $8.0001 Is it not
wonderful that a great party should have
resorted to fraud in order to retain the
privilege of this most remarkable margin
for profit, or should now threaten a re
sort to force next year for the same pur
pose, with the additional incentive of an
intense desire to prevent a revealment of
the exact origin of this mysterious wealth
begetting margin?
The New French Cable.
The company recently organized in
France under the corporate name of the
“Gompaynie Francaisc du Telcgraphe de
Paris a New York,” having obtained per
mission from the American Government
to l^nd its cable on the coast of the
United States, subject to the usual con
ditions and restrictions, successfully
completed the work of laying the cable
by landing it at Cape Cod, as has already
been announced. The use of the cable
by the public was inaugurated by the
exchange of the following courtesies be
tween the chief magistrates of France
and the United States. On the 20th
instant the following telegram was sent
from Paris by the new French cable:
* * To the President of the United States:
“The President of the French Repub
lic inaugurates the new cable which
unites France and America, by sending
the expressions of his most cordial senti
ments to the President of the Republic
of the United States.”
To the above the President of the
United States sent the following reply:
“To the President of the French Republic,
Paris:
“The President of the United States
acknowledges with great satisfaction the
agreeable communication by which the
President of the French Republic makes
known to him the completion and suc
cessful operation of the new trans Atlan
tic cable, and hopes that it may never be
the vehicle of any other messages be
tween the governments and people of
the two countries than those of friend
ship and respect.”
The King of the Hoodlums Deposed.
Kearney is about to be deposed as king
of the San Francisco hoodlums. His
followers have found him out, and he no
longer rules the Sandlot meetings. Kal-
loch has been plotting against Kearney
ever since the election. Having been
elected Mayor, Kalloch concluded to cut
loose from the worst element of the
hoodlums and rally around him a respec
table set of men. He succeeded in
arrajiug Kearney’s most trusted and
influential lieutenants against their
leader, and now the San Fran
cisco papers anuounce that the new
Mayor and his friends have determined
to assume control and send Kearney to
the rear. It is also stated that Kalloch
has made overtures to the Democrats for
a union of forces in the election of next
year. Whether this be true or not, it is
evident that Kearney’s sway is about at
an end. He may be able to retain a
small following for awhile, but all the
influences that kept him at the head of a
large number of men arc at an end.
California is enjoying a revival of busi
ness as well as other sections of the
country, and hundreds of men who a
year ago attended Kearney’s meetings
because they were idle, are now employed
and have, therefore, no further interest
in the Sandlot agitator.
The doctrine of protection, it is gen
erally believed, has bee» losing ground
in New England for several years, at
least ever since the collapse of the cotton
manufacturing companies there. This
view is supported by Mr. Edward Atkin
son, who has probably better means of
knowing the facts of the case than any
other living man. He has several times
said that New England is ready to sup
port measures for a judicious revision of
the tariff if the issue were property
made. The Boston Herald also inclines
to the same view of the case, and says
‘that with our industries as they are at
present our laboring class would be bet
ter off in every way than they now are
if the tariff was judiciously revised, does
not admit of doubt.”
According to a Washington dispatch,
Mr. George Walker, who was sent to
Europe to secure an invitation from some
foreign government for another mone
tary conference looking to the re-estab
lishment of bimctalism and the double
standard,says that Representative Kelley’s
report of his interview with Bismarck
was full of inaccuracies. The German
Chancellor is therefore very angry with
Mr. Kelley, and through him, with all*
Americans seeking an interview. He
imagines that if a member of Congress
will make public a private conversation
he cannot trust any of his countrymen.
The feeling on the part of Bismarck
threw a good many obstacles in Mr.
Walker’s way.
THE SPOFFORD-KELLOGG INVESTIGATION.
New Orleans, November 24.—Manager
Altyn, of tbe Western Union Telegraph
office in this city, produced twenty-one tele
grams called for by the Kellogg-Spofford
committee to-day. All were in cipher but
one.
W. XL Seymour, Notary Public, was ex
amined by tbe committee with reference to
the affidavit of Jeremiah Blackstone, mem
ber of the Packard Legislature, admitting
the receipt of twenty-two hundred dollars
from Kellogg to be used in securing the
latter’s election. The witness repeated a
part of the conversation in his office be
tween members of tbe Nicholls Legislature
Blackstone and others about bribery, in
which Blackstone said he could get the affi
davits of persons to whom he had paid
money received from Kellogg, and that the
money had been paid to bribe them.
J. F. Berlgnon, assistant sergeant-at-arms
of the Packard Legislature, testified to hear-
| iog Kellogg promise Senator Twitchell one
I of the best places in the government for his
vote and to seeing him give the latter three
I hundred dollars.
J. 8. Antz, enrolling clerk of the Packard
Legislature, testified that it was notorious
that members were paid for voting for Kel
logg.
F. J. Stokes, Judge of Grant parish, le-
lated tbe circumstances of his arrest and re
moval to Texas by the Republicans, who
wished to get rid of him, on the false
charge* that he was an absconding Texas
collector.
Tbe committee then adjourned until to
morrow.
AN “IRREGULAR” STATE TREASURER.
New York, November 24—The Albany
Evening Journal says: “Irregularities have
been discovered in tbe accounts of tbe State
Treasurer, including a deficit of fifty-two
hundred dollars in tbe cash. Upon beiu t
apprised of tbe fact by tbe State Comptio.
ler, the Governor directed an expert to take
possession of the Treasurer’s books and
make an examination.”
Tbe Argus of to-morrow will state on the
highest authority that the accounts in the
State Treasurer’s office are entirely correct,
and that the books of the Treasurer and
Comptroller perfectly balance. A week ago
several irregularities involving the use of
individual checks as cash to the extent of
about five thousand dollars were discovered.
Mr. Mackin’s attention being called to the
fact, these checks were promptly collected
through the usual bank medium, "and out of
this circumstance has grown tbe rumors to
which the New York Tribune has given
publicity.
political disturbance in MEXICO.
City of Mexico, November 16 —Great
scandal occurred in one of tbe principal
theatres here on tbe Sth Inst., in conse
quence of the attempt of the Vice Presi
dents of the Senate and House of Deputies
aud a large number of army officers to inter
rupt the proceedir.gs of one of the popular
clubs of the city. The meeting was broken up
in confusion amid cries of “Live Gonzales”
and “Death to Benetiz.” The disturbance
was gotten up in tbe interest of General
Gonzales, Minister of War, who, upon being
called upon by Presldeut Diaz for an ex
planation, resigned bis position. Governor
Pacheco has been appointed in his place.
The Minister of Justice has also been com
pelled to resign on account of participation
in the same intrigue.

cently arrested Irish agitators to-day a num
ber of policemen were called to show the

Mr. Ilaweis, a leading London Episco
palian parson of the Broad Church type,
has lately preached a striking sermon on
the drama, in which he said: “Though
the teaching may not be direct, no pic
ture of human life can fail to be instruc
tive, and the dramatist and actor are both
responsible for impressions made. How
incalculable for good and evil are these
indirect teachings of the stage. How
often a man has sat quietly and seen his
own mean life sifted before his ej’es—
seen the Nemesis fall which was awaiting
the close of his own career—watched
tendencies in himself played out to the
bitter end. and paused. There are ser
mons preached before the footlights
which go home, where tbe pulpit is un
heard or unheeded.”
The Grant Boom in Atlanta.
Atlanta Constitution.
And they a’l with one consent began to make
reuse.—Luke, *th chapter, 18th verse.
Parson Felton is for Grant because, he
says, Seymour is too fine a man to re
ceive the Democratic nomination—or
words to that effect.
Colonel Luther J. Glenn rises to ex
plain that he is for Grant to beat any*
xxiy but Seymour. Eight years ago he
arose to explain his vote* for Greeley,
by saying he was “for anybody to beat
Grant.”
Lieutenant Robert A. Crawford, of
the First Georgia Regulars, overlooks
three cicatrized wounds received in the
rebel service, and condones the con
fiscation of two hundred and forty-
one niggers, and without a murmur
charges to profit and loss on the wrong
side of his ledger untold thousands of
dollars invested in every conceivable is
sue of rebel bonds, in order to vote for

The astronomical Professor Proctor
deals in big figures. He says the earth
is uow 500,000,000 years old, and that
in 2,500,000,000 years it will be “in ex
treme old age. ’’ This last is doubtless a
true remark. After giving us these huge
arithmetical computations he cap3 the
climax of colossal numbers by the dis
couraging statement that “these periods
of enormous duration of time sink into
insignificance before the history of the
solar system as a whole.”
Beast Butler has expended $275,000 in
the lost two canvasses. It is said that
his printing expenses in his last canvass
were about eighteen thousand dollars,
&n4 tijat bis postage stamps cost nearly
four thousand dofl-fs. £t tftjj pate he
wQl soon have to pa n his spoons.
he is tired of “staying out in the cold,
and is certain that “Loch” would make
all serene for the South in spite of Grant
” “that other fellow.”
Alex. H. Stephens, like Edmund
Burke, knows better what is for the in
terests of hiscanstitucnts than they know
for themselves, and cares nothing for the
opinions of outsiders; hence he is for
Grant,' unless the Democrats adjust
themselves to his system of “weights
and measures.”
CapL Burke, of the Gate City Guards
(no kin to Edmund), is quoted “all
right,” because, like Sergeant Bates, he
marched through the enemy’s country
on free lunch and without molestation—
the only difference bcfweea himself and
Bates being that he covered his raid
through the enemy’s country with their
own uag.
Last, but not least, “Bob Toombs 1 '
welcomes Grant’s return to the nation
with a big N, because after all is said
and done, Grant will be the death of the
Union, and really at heart dearly loves
the genuine Bourbon. Next!
Democrat-
The letter also says: “Nofault is found
with the gentlemen who are engaged in
tjie laudable work of suppressing the
dissemination of improper matter; but
no end, however proper, can be held to
justify the use of improper means; and a
rule or law that strikes down ail the
safeguards of private correspondence
and the first principles of republican gov
ernment must be deemed improper.”
Postmaster James replied that he had no
jtower to modify the order of the Post
master General in regard to such letters,
aud added that he had referred the com
munication to the Postmaster General
for his information.
Miss Josephine Meeker is said to be so
