The Griffin Netcs remarks that “there is a
considerable boom in Georgia at this time

writes that the indications up there point to
the contest for the nomination being con

A temperance boom is booming in War-

This number was expected to be increased

their g:
Union Point correspondent of the Greens
boro Herald: “We had the heaviest rain of
the season last Tuesday morning. It came
in perfect torrents, flooding the whole face
of the earth. There was a severe wind with
it, blowing down houses, fences and upset
ting things generally. It was the nearest to
a cyclone we have ever had, and we hope
we may be spared from ever seeing one of
these terrible and destructive comminglings
of the elements that have visited other sec
tions of the country.”
Says the Columbus Tunes : “A gentleman
who has just returned from an extended
trip through Talbot county, during which
he visited various sections of it, brings very
flattering reports of the prosperity of the
citizens and the condition of the crops. The
corn Is up very nicely, with a good stand,
and was not injured by the late frosts. The
most of the farmers will get through
planting cotton this week, and in many
instances those that planted early have
already obtained good stands, and will
soon be ready to begin chopping out.
The oat crop as a general thing is good,
but w'heat, in some sections, has been in
jured by the rust. The wheat in the val
ley and in the northeast part of the county
is very fine. He reports the hands as work
ing well and the farmers close at home at
tending to their farming interest. It was
seldom that he met one of them in the road
during his travels. Guano has been used
extensively, and preparations have been
made for a big crop. As an evidence of
prosperity, the farmers are investing in Im
proved farming implements, and are pur
chasing labor-saving machines. We are
glad to learn of the prosperity of our neigh
borhood.”
Rome Tribune : “Colonel Samuel informs
a Tribune reporter that work will be com
menced in a few days on the Rome and
Chattanooga Rairload, and that Messrs.
Huston & Co. will push the enterprise as
fast as is practicable. Some six hundred
hands will.be put on the line in equal num
bers at Rome, Chattanooga and Summer
ville. Too much praise cannot be showered
upon Colonel Samuel for the harmonious
workings of the several claimants and for
his zealous efforts favoring the buildlDg of
the road.”
Perry Home Journal: “A friend of ours,
who lives several miles from town, possesses
a dog that is remarkable for his sagacity.
The dog’s mother was a Newfoundland
shepherd, and his father a full bloodhound.
This dog can be sent into a drove of fifty
hogs, while feeding, and he will bring out
every one that does not belong to his
master. He will drive hogs from a
field without assistance, after he has
been told what to do. He can be safely
left to guard any piece of property-
left in the yard after night. He is an ex
cellent watch dog, faithfully guarding the
premises. The children of his master are
safe under his protection, as he will not
allow any one to touch one of them unless
his master Is near. These are only a few of
the many evidences of his remarkable in
telligence, but we deem this sufficient to
illustrate the extent to which a dog can be
educated to do his master’s bidding. There
may be some skeptic who will regard this as
a rather ‘fishy’ story, but it can be substan
tiated by a ride of several miles into the
country.”
Albany Neirs: “It is now a pretty well
settled fact that the oat crop of 8outhwe6t
Georgia is a failure. The great question is
what caused the failure. Some planters
think there is no doubt but that rust is the
trouble, while others say it is a new pest—
an insect which has destroyed the crop. It
is estimated that not more than one-third of
an oat crop will be made. Corn is looking
well, and the amount planted is greater
than that of last year. Cotton is advanc
ing. We learn that 6ome planters are
already chopping out. We understand that
many farmers are plowing up their ruined
fields of oats, and planting in either cotton
or peas. There is being made a stroug
effort to make up the disaster.”
Says the Gainesville Southron: “We re
gret to chronicle the fact that the severe
freeze of one week ago last Saturday night
did more damage than has been done in one
night before since a similar frost on the 16th
of April, 1849. There has nol been a year
in the past ten that the fruit prospect was
so good on the first of April as this; nor has
there been one in the recollection of the
oldest inhabitant when it was more com
pletely destroyed than this. The frost
reached as far south as Athens, and the
peach crop is almost totally destroyed.
Many peaches were as large as quail’s eggs,
and frozeu as hard,as marbles. Of course,
all other kinds of early fruits are badly dam
aged. Wheat, oats and other similar crops
in this section are damaged, but we hope
not badly. Taken all in all, the freeze of
Saturday night, April 10, 1880, will long be
remembered in the northern halves of
Georgia, Alabama and North Carolina as a
great calamity.”
Macon Telegraph: “The various cltle6
about the State have been doing a little
mild bragging about the number of their
railroad trains recently, and, to keep in
fashion, a reporter of the Telegraph and
Messenger yesterday gathered a few points
for himself. Macon 6tands ahead of every
thing in the State. Forty-nine trains daily
arrive in and depart from this city. Be
tween five o : clock a. m. and nine o’clock
p. m., twenty-one trains pass under the
front arch of the depot. There are times
when the number of trains arriving in and
leaving the city is much greater. A few
mornings since the regular Central Railroad
freight came in followed by four others.**
Pleuro-Pneumonia—Official Report.
The official report of Commissioner
LeDuc to the United States Senate in re
lation to the existence of pleuro-pneu-
monia among cattle on the Atlantic sea
board confirms what has already been
stated on the subject. The report was
prepared by Dr. Lyman, who, acting
under instructions from the Agricultural
Bureau, has been pursuing his investiga
tions for the past three months, com
mencing with the State of New York
early in Peburary last. In that State
the New York commission bad antici
pated him, and reported cases of the
disease in Putnam county, where 176 ani
mals were slaughtered and a herd of CO
head put in quarantine. In Westchester
county one herd of 37 bea4 was reduced,
by the ravages of the disease, to eight
animals. At Croton Falls a ^lr. Butler
lost his entire herd of 50 head, by
slaughter or disease, with one exception
The whole of the western end of Long
Island was found to be more or less in
fected. At the eastern end of the island
many other cases were reported, but at
the last advices the disease had disap
peared. On Staten Island several iso
lated cases were discovered, and of sev
eral infer ted herds some cattle were
slaughtered and others died of the dis
ease. In Connecticut a lew herds were
found infected. In Pennsylvania I}r.
Lyman discovered evidences of the dis
ease iu the Philadelphia stock yards, and
in Chester, Montgomery, Lehigh, Dela
ware, Cumberland, Lancaster and Ad
ams counties. The cases in Cumberland
and Adams counties were said to ljave
been imported from the Baltimore stock
yards. In New Jersey there were cases
of the disease, for the most part of the

DESTRUCTIVE FIRES.
Washington, April 23.—In the House,
Mr. Cox, of New York, Chairman of the
Committee on Foreign Affairs, reported
back a joint resolution for the abrogation
of the Clayton-Bulwer treaty as the unani
mous report of the committee. Referred
to the committee of the whole.
Mr. Cox also reported back the joint reso
lution for a commission to ascertain the
basis of a reciprocity treaty with the British
provinces. Ordered printed and recom
mitted.
Private business having been postponed
until to-morrow, the House at 12:30 went
into committee of the whole, Mr. Whit-
thorne, Chairman, on the special deficiency
bill.
Mr. Reed, of Maine, concluded his speech
in opposition to the marshals’ clause of the
bill, and further remarks were made by
McMahon and Garfield. The Senate amend
ment, relative to special deputy marshals
and to public printing, were then concurred
in. Au amendment, appropriating $286,000
for the completion of the new State Depart
ment, was non-concurred in. The committee
then rose and reported its action to the
House, where their action was ratified. The
House at 4:30 p. m. took a recess until 7:30,
the*evening session to be for the considera
tion of a bill establishing a municipal code
for the District of Columbia.
In the Senate, Mr. Beck said it appeared,
from the Record, that the joint resolution
passed yesterday by the House accepted the
desk of Thomas Jefferson iu the name of
the United States, while that passed by the
Senate accepted.it in the name of the Nation.
He hoped that the House resolution would
be the one sent to the donors. The Vice-
President stated that but one resolution had
been passed, namely, the one originating in
the House. If the Hecord showed differently,
it was a typographical error.
On motion of Mr. Maxey the post route
bill was taken up, read a third time and
passed.
The Senate then resumed consideration
of the resolutions declaring Spofford en
titled to the seat now occupied by Kellogg.
Mr. Bailey spoke in support of the reso
lution, arguiDg that the Spofford-Kellogg
contest, although it had already been passed
upon by the Senate, was not res adjudicata in
6uch sense that it could not be reopened. The
decisions of the Senate were political, not
judicial, and the Senate was not bound by
the rules and methods of courts. It was
bound only by principles of honor and jus
tice. After citing numerous precedents,
which, however, were not in all respects
parallel with the present case, Mr. Bailey
said that the State of Louisiana
was entirely unrepresented in the Senate:
that the body which pretended to elect Kel
logg wasjnot a legislature at all. The fact
that the Senate once recognized it did not
legalize it. No power could legalize It ex
cept the power of the State itself, and the
State had rejected it. In conclusion, Mr.
Bailey reviewed the testimony taken by the
committee, and said it proved conclusively
the’utter worthlessness of the Packard Leg
islature.
Kellogg said he wished the Senators who
should hereafter speak in favor of the reso
lutions to address themselves to a point
which he held to be fully established,
namely, that the Nicholls Legislature did
not have a quorum of members in the lower
house elected upon the face of the returns
by the Democratic party’s own showing
during the whole term of sixty days. Mr.
Jonas then obtained the floor, but preferring
to speak to-morrow, allowed tfie resolutions
to be informally laid aside.
Mr. Ransom, from the Committee on Rail
roads, reported with amendments but
without recommendation the 8enate bill to
extend the time for the completion of the
Texas Pacific Railway. Placed on the calen
dar. •
At 4:35 the Senate adjourned until Mon
day, when the Kellogg-Spofford resolutions
will be the regular order after the morning
hour.
DESTRUCTIVE FIRES.
Richmond, Va., April 23.—While the
fire which broke out in Snyder & Co.’s
foundry last night was burning, another
oue started in J. C. Smith’s large four-story
junk establishment on Dock street, and at
1:30 o’clock this morning was still burning,
and will probably result in the total destruc
tion of the concern. Several large ware
houses and other buildings are threatened.
Later.—The loss occasioned by the two
fires here last night reaches $175,000. The
first lire destroyed the building formerly
occupied by the Richmond Strive and Archi
tectural Iron Works, but 6iuce tge suspen
sion of that business they have been oc
cupied by Jas. N. Boyd as a tobacco stem-
mery, not by Carrington A Co. as previously
reported, and by Charles II. Todd as
a storehouse for hay aud lime.
James N. Boyd’s loss is $40,000, which is
nearly covered by insurance. Charles L.
Todd’s loss is about $12,000, insured in a
local company for $3,000. The buildings
were valued at $25,0f)0. The second ^re de
stroyed J. C. Smith’s bionK of line brick
buildings, occupied as a junk establishment.
Ills loss will reach $40,000, upon which .he
has an insurance of $5,000 only.
Amuerst, Mass., April 23.—A fire early
this morning in the straw shop of Hill’s
Manufacturing Company destroyed the
building and other works of H. D. Fearing
A Co. Loss $100,000. Three hundred hands
were thrown out of employment. The coal
yards of Ed. Hunt and W. Morgan were also
destroy ed. The gas works were saved with
diiliculty. The origin of the fire is un
known.
Port Jefferson, I... I., April 23.—A ter

In the Chambers of Deputies yesterday,
during a discussion relative to the admin
istration of M. Albert Grevy, the Governor-

M. Grevy, used words which the Lresi-

THE NEW BRITISH MINISTRY.
London, April 23.—The Press Association
says: “We understand on good authority
that Lord Hartington, after consultation
with other Liberal leaders, determined not
to undertake to form the government. Re
presentations have been made to Gladstone,
which it is said will induce him to form the
government If he receives the expected in
vitation from the Queen.”
It is understood that Hartington, when at
Windsor, frankly told the Queen that he
would recommend that Gladstone or Gran
ville be consulted. He was then empowered
to see Gladstone or Granville.
Lord Hartington and Granville went to

OUR WASHINGTON LETTER.
The Action of the New York Demo
cratic Convention no Surprise-
Farrow and Soothlus; Capitals—ITIr,
Stephens and the ZVIornlns News—
The Geneva Award Bill.
Special Correspondence of the Mominq News.
Washington, April 21.—The action of
the New York Democratic Convention occa
sions no surprise here. Mr. Til den carried
the day and has got the New York Presiden
tial delegation for Cincinnati. He is a can
didate and will never give up until he may
go under at Cincinnati. The action of his
henchmen at Syracuse shows that all reports
of his reported intention of withdrawing are
all nonsense, and that he will hang on to the
death. Mr. Tilden intends to rule or ruin.
He will neither rule nor ruin. Some of the
Democrats in Congress are somewhat down
cast over the fact that Tilden so evenly
manipulated things at Syracuse and fear
that in the same way he will manage affairs
at Cincinnati. There are not more than
three Democrats in Congress, with Speaker
Randall as a leader, who favor Mr. Tilden,
but they fear the machine. Senator Ran
dolph, of New Jersey, is authorized to say
that Governor Seymour will accept the
nomination if tendered him unanimously.
He cau carry New York, and Tilden, with
Kelly against him, which he will always be,
cannot. New York is necessary to Demo
cratic success in the coming contest. The
moral is obvious. Everything, despite his
recent victories in New York and elsewhere,
points to the conclusion that Tilden will not
be nominated, and that Seymour will.
FARROW AND SOOTHING CAPITALS.
In a recent letter reference was made to
the fact that Colonel Farrow had gone to

ance against your correspondent here,
the exact nature of which was
not at all comprehended at this end of
the line. Darnell was Invited to explain by
postal card ora cheaper me*hod of com

also requested to capitalize all the first let
ters of the address to this office, as the
effect would be more soothing. Nothing
has been heard from him; but the following

talized, has been received :
“The Top Of The Morning To You!” Yes,
Not Only To The Depot But All The Way
Home. And My “Name That It Is,”
Farrow.
Must Maxe Your Acquaintance Next Visit
To Washington. Will Call To See You.
Now this is the right sort of thing. Col.
Farrow not only puts in capitals to the ad
dress, but begins every word in his postal
with the same soothing signs. Of a verity,
your correspondent Is southed almost to
sweet slumber. Do not understand me as
insinuating that Farrow’s communication is
at all sleepy. On the contrary, it exhibits a
sense of humor that is soothing. Let him
by all means come and see us the next time
he makes a visit to this virtuous city. Things
will be made as pleasant for him as pos
sible. We keep nothing but water on hand
at headquarters, but are inclined to the
opinion that the sage and venerable advice
which he will receive will do much to
console him in his forthcoming failure
o secure a reappointment. For his soothing
dose of capital letters there will be returned
a hearty welcome and much consolation of
the character that only those advanced iu
life and experience in jjrprldly affairs are
able to administer.
MR. STEPHENS AND THE MORNING NEWS.
An Augusta paper publishes a letter
from Hon. A, H. Stephens in reply to a
recent, letter of Senator (Jordon about
the apparently Interminable Simmontr
McWhorter-Casey census supervisor-
ship matter. A census supervisor is u very
small officer, but seems fully competent to
kick up a row of magnificent proportions.
Your correspondent knows nothing about
the difference between Senator Gordon and
Mr. Stephens In this matter. The rejection
of Simmons was regarded as conclusively
settling the whole question. But it would
appear from the correspondence In ques
tion that such is not the case. The war for
and against Simmons which before his re
jection bad to do with events now deals en
tirely with “published correspondence.”
Mr. Stephens has 6een |}t in his feply to
Senator Gordon to say ;
“Second. Let it be remembered that a
telegram was sent from this city to the Sa
vannah Morning News, on the night of the
14th of January, a few days after General
Gordon’s interview with me, 3tating that
the nominations of the supervisors of cen
sus would be sent to the Senate the next
day, and giving the names of the five from
Georgia, stating that ‘the selection of the
two Democrats 1^ dqe to Ihe elforts of Re
presentative Nicholls and Senator Gordon.’
Further on iu the game telegram is the
statement that ‘McWhorter is the choice of
Mr. Stephens.’ This telegram, sent by a
friend of General Gordon, was extensively
circulated in that class of Georgia papers
which are usually as extravagant In their
laudations of him as they are in their cen
sures of me.”
Exactly what Mr. Stephens means by the
above extract it is hard to tell. The tele
gram in question was certainly sent, and was
in the way of news copied by the Georgia
press. By stating that “this .elegram, sent
by a friend or General Gordon,?’ A|r.
Stephens seems to insinuate that General
Gordon inspired it. This insinuation ibmade
broader further on in his IoogTetter. ‘'To
wards the close of his writing he says:
“How, now, in the face of his own show
ing. could General Gordon give countenance
to the telegram to the Savaunah N*wa, that
through his and Colonel Nicholls* influence,
Harris and Clifton, the two Demo
crat?, were appointed, and that Mc
Whorter, Republican, was my choice
for the Second District.” This partakes
of a direct accusation; that the telegram of
January 14th to the News was inspired and
countenanced by General Gordon. It was
not. The information as to who would be
nominated as supervisors the day following
was gleaned from other sources. Your cor
respondent never spoke to Senator Gordon
on the supervisor subject, nor had any in
formation or intimation from him about it
until twq days after tflp seanpe be
fore the Senato Census Committee,
and at that date the subject was
considered so old that nothing at all was
said about the conversation held. As to the
accuracy of the News’ telegram, there is as
good evidence now supporting it as has ever
been said to the contrary by letter of other-
-yiee. Tbe nortion of Mr. Stephens’ letter
In relation to the SJavannab RKtys? telegram
is as wild and inaccurate as anything that
ever emanated from the pen of any Wash
ington newspaper man, for whom, as a class,
he evidently entertains, I regret to say, a
decided contempt.
THE GENEVA AWARD BILL.
The Geneva award bill, which has Binee
Ib'm been bro^gljt to the attention of Con
gress, was to-day fodefinitely postponed.
After settling all claims under the bill for
the distribution of the Geneva award for
Alabama claims, $10,000,000 was left.
The inp"ra n ce companies, the shippers
who paid high war premiums for insur
ance, and the New England a*nd other ship
pers who suffered, or were supposed to hhye
suitured by the conquests of the Alabama,
all knocked at the door of Congress, de
manding that this balance be distributed
among them. They have organized lobbies
to this end, and have worked with zeal.
The idea, in opposition to them, which has
prevailed, was that all legitimate claims had
bt»en w*Gs£ed and that the balance should
be turned ihto tfie Treasury. The ac
tion of the Senate practically insures
this. The money thus turned in
could be made available for river
and harbor improvements, and for the erec
tion of public buildings. The Insurance
companies were amply compensated for
their loss by the advanced premiums for
marine insurance which they charged du
ring the wkr. The war premium men, by
their advanced price of goods 'brought ih
during the war, were also amply compen
sated, and tbe shippers who have howled
psver bjd any claim for alleged loss other
wise than that wiiUjh was trapped up. Jhe
Democrats of the $enate have done a most
sensible thing in defending this bill, and
the next step will be the passage of a bill
turning the *10,000,000 into the Treasury. It
should pass. It would defeat a big lobby
ing scheme, and put the njoney where it
could be utilized for good purposes.

THE GREAT SOUTHLAND.
WHAT YIK. TA L VI AGE SAW IN
HIS RECENT TOUR.
Our People Sound on Slavery and
Government—No Fire-Eater** or
Ku-Klux—Advice to Northerner*
and Foreigners, “Go South”—Two
Grand View* Irom Lookout moun
tain—The Pa«t and the Future,
Dr. Talmage preached a discourse in
Brooklyn last Sunday morning, which
will attract universal attention. His sub
ject was, “Mistakes About the South
Corrected.” Services opened with sing
ing the verses, beginning:
“My country, tis of thee.
Sweet land of liberty."
Dr. Talmage took his text from Judges
i., 15: “Give me a blessing, for thou
hast given me a Southland; give me also
springs of water.” The following is a
FULL REPORT OF THE SERMON.
Caleb’s daughter, just married to Gen
eral Othniel, had received of her father,
as a wedding present, a farm at the
South, in a warm and sunny clime. She
asks for the further gift of some springs
of wateT near by, so that her farm may
be properly irrigated and refreshed by
tbe water brought in tunnel or aqueduct.
‘Give me a blessing, for thou bast given
me a Southland; give me also springs of
water.”
To our nation God has given a South
land. It is a vast and magnificent reach
of country, but it needs to be irrigated
from the fountains of divine blessing,
and our nation ought devoutly to pray
in the words of the text: “Give me a
blessing, for thou hast given me a South
land; give me also springs of water.”
A few weeks sgo, to meet engagements
in nine of tlie Southern cities and to catch
a glimpse of the Southern Spring time
and see how that region is recuperating
from the desolation of the war, I started
South, equipped with a mind full of
questions aud hungry for information on
all subjects, social, political, moral and
religious. Among other things I had
a grave to visit in Georgia, the grave of
my uncle, Rev. Dr. Samuel K. Talmage,
for twenty years the President of Ogle
thorpe University. After walking amid
the ruins of the institution which he
had founded and from which a multitude
of men went forth to positions of in
fluence in all parts of the land, but an
institution slain by the war, I went out
to see his last resting place. When our
civil strife opened, his heart broke and
he lay down near by the icene of his
eminent usefulness, the monument over
him adorned with his name and the sug
gestive passage: “How beautiful upon
the mountains are the feet of them that
bring good tidings, that publish peace.”
He was of that band of contemporary
ministers of tbe ciouth who, after elo
quent words and long service for Christ,
are now resting from their labors—Dr.
James II. Tliornwell, whose life, written
by Dr. Palmer, is a holy enchantment,
and Dr. Thomas Smith and Dr. Duncan
and Dr. Pierce and many others.
But my mission was not so much with
the d.ad as with the living. I started on
the tour with no partisan predilections
and no prejudices, and resolved to tell
on my return what I saw, whether it
might be generally approved or de
nounced by one or both sections. I had
no political record to guard or defend,
foi my chief work in the ministry has
been done since the war closed, My ad
miration for the Democratic party and
the Republican party, as parties, is so
small that il would take one of McAllis
ter’s most powerful magnifying glasses
to discover anything of it.
AMERICAN POLITICS ARE ROTTEN,
and that party steals the rao§t which
has the most chance. I had all the doors
of information opened to me. I talked
with high and low, Governors and water
carriers, clergymen and laymen, lawj'ers,
doctors, editors and philanthropists, with
the black and tbe white, old residents of
the South and new settlers from the
Ifarth, and I found that there have been
the most persistent and outrageous mis
representations m regard to the South by
many of the correspondents of secular
and religious journals, and by men who,
overbearing and dishonest in their beha
vior at the South, have had information
given to them that their company was
not desirable. If a man go South and
behave well he will be treated well.
There is no more need of rigorous gov
ernmental espionage in Atlanta, Augusta
or Macon than there is in Boston or New
York. The present disposition of the
South has been so wrongly set forth that
I propose now, so far as I am able, to
correct the stereotyped slanders concern
ing it.
First, it has often been represented to
ui that the South was longing for the
old system of negro slavery. So far
from that being true, they are all glad to
have got rid of it. The planters told me
that they can culture their fields with less
expense under the new system than the
old. 'A gentleman who had one hun
dred and twppty-five slaves before the
war, told me that the clothing and feed
ing of them; tbe taking caYe of the aged
who could not work, and the provision
for helpless colored children, was an ex
pense, and anxiety and exhaustion. Now
the planters have nothing to do but
pay the wages when they are due,
the families look after their own
invalids and minors. So they all
say, without one exception, that I
could find. If at the ballot boxes
of the Southern Stales the question
should now be submitted: “Shall negTO
slavery be reinstated ?” all the wards and
alFthe cities and all the bounties and all
the States would give thundering nega
tives. They foughi to keep'it eighteen
years ago, but now there is universal
congratulation at its overthrow. Thanh
God that the North and South at last arc
one on that subject, aud this effort of
our Northern politicians to keep the sub
ject of slavery rolling on, is ps useless
and inapt as to make the Dorr rebellion
of Rhode Island, or Aaron Burr’s at
tempt at the overthrow of the United
States Government, the test of our fall
elections. The whole subject of American
slavery is dead and damned. I inquired
everywhere: “How do the colored people
work under the new plan!” The an
swer was: “Well, very well We have
no trouble. J qst af 1 Jr the war thdre was
the disorganization that naturally came
of a new order of thiDgs, but now they
wrork well. They work far better than
Northern laborers that come here, be
cause our colored people cau better en
dure our hot climate, and on a warm
summer’s d«y, at the nqqning, they will
lie down in the field to enjoy the sun.”
My friends, all that talk about dragging
the rivers and lakes of the South to haul
ashore black people murdered and flung
in, though seriously believed by many
people at the North, is a
FALSEHOOD TOO RIDICULOUS TO MENTION
in a religious assemblv. The white
people of the South feel their depend
ence on the dark people for the Cultiva
tion of their lands, and the dark people
feel tneir dependence on the white peo
ple for wages. From what I have ob.
served heie at the IJoftR of the oppres
sion of some of our female eierks in dry
goods stores and the struggle of many of
our young men on insignificant salaries,
which they must take or get nothing at
all, I give as my opinion that to-day
there is more consideration and sym
pathy for colored labor at the South
than there is consideration and sympathy
foi employe* in some of the store* on
Fiilton avenue. Brooklyn, or Broadway,
New York, Washington street, Boston,
or Chestnut street, Philadelphia. All
the world over, there are tyrannical em
ployers, and for their maltreatment of
subordinates, white or black, they are to
be execrated; but the place for us to
tjegin reformaiion is at home.
Another misrepresentation in regard
to the South I cure when J. say they are
not antagonistic to the settlement of
Northern men within their borders. "We
have been iojd that I^Oftherners gping
there arp ku-klu^ed, crowded oqt of so
cial life, unrecognized, and in every way
made uncom f ortable. But the universal
sentiment as I found it was, “send down
your Northern capitalists; send (fawn
your Northern farming machines, buy
plantations; open stores; build cotton
factories and rice mills; come! come
right away; come by tens of
thousands and by millions. Of
course they have no more liking
for Northern fools or Northern braggarts
than we have. A man who goes South
and sets down his valise at the depot and
goes upon the nearest plantation to say
by word or manner to the planter, T
have come down here to show you igno
rant people how to farm; we whipped
you in the war, aud now we propose to
whip you in agriculture; I am from Bos
ton, I am; that’s the Hub; you look very
much like the man that I shot at South
Mountain; I think it must have been
your brother. I marched right through
here in the Fourth regiment of volun
teers. I killed and quartered a heifer
on your front stoop. What a poor,
miserable race of people you Southern
ers are. Didn’t we give it to you? Ha!
ha!” Such a man as that, to say the
least, will not make a favorable impres
sion upon tbe neighborhood where he
comes to settle. He will not very soon
get to be deacon in church, and if he
opens a store he will not have many cus
tomers, and if he should happen to get
a free and rapid ride on that part of a
fence which is most easily removed, and
should be set down without much refer
ence to the desirability of the landing
place, you and I will not be protestants.
Any moral man who will go South and
exercise just ordinary common sense,
will be welcomed, made at home, and
coming from Brooklyn, will be treated
i * ust as well as if be came from Mobile.
might give many illustrations. I give
one: A member of this church moved to
to Charleston, S. C., seven or eight years
ago. He went without fortne. By his
mercantile assiduity he toiled on up. Was
he well received? Judge for yourselves,
as I tell you, that when, a few days ago,
his body was taken to the Episcopal
Church, of which he had become a ves
tryman, for the obsequies, the members
of the Board of Trade, the orphan chil
dren of the asylum of which he was a
director, and a great throng of the best
citizens assembled, amid a wealth of
floral and musical tribute, all making an
occasion, described by the Charleston
Courier, as almost unparalleled at the
obsequies of any private citizen. This
side of Heaven there is no more hospita
ble people than the people of the South,
and now I bring a message from all the
States of the South which I visited, in
viting immigration thither. The South
is to rival the West as an opening field
for American enterprise. Horace Gree
ley’s advice to go West is to have an ad
denda in “Go South.” The first ava
lanche of population thither will
make their fortunes. It is a na
tional absurdity that so much of the
cotton of the South should be trans
ported at great expense to the North to
be transformed into articles of use. The
few factories at the South are the
pioneers of the uncounted spindles
which are yet to begin the hum of their
grand march on the baq^s of the Savan
nah, Apalachicola and the Tombigbee.
There stands Georgia, with its 5S.000
square miles, and South Carolina, with
its 34,000 square miles, and Alabama,
with its 50,722 square miles, aod North
Carolina, with 50,704 square miles, and
the other States, none of them with
more than ten per cent, of their resources
developed. When will the over crowded
populations of our great cities take the
wings of the morning and fly to regions
where they shall have room to turn
round and breathe and expand aud be
come masters of their own corn fields or
rice swamps or cotton plantations or
timber forests ? Land to be had there
in the Southern States
FROM ONE TO TWENTY DOLLARS AN ACRE.
Only $15 to get there if you are not too
particular as to how you go. Do you
say the climate is hot? The thermome
ter every summer runs up higher in New
York than in North Carolina and Geor
gia, though tLe heat is more prolonged.
Afraid of the fever? The death rate of
Michigan and Georgia are equal, while
the death rate, according to the last cen
sus, is less according to the number of
population in Georgia than in Connec
ticut and Maiqe. Whether you go West
ot South you will probably have one ac
climating attack. It is only a different
style of shake. There is no need that
England or Ireland or Scotland any lon
ger suffer for room or bread. The* tides
of emigration now pouring into this
country are greater than at any time in
history—21,658 emigrants last month
arrived in New York, five thou
sand emigrants last Tuesday in and
around Castle Garden. This is only
an intimation of what is to come. Make
two currents. While you put on extra
trains to take them West by the Pennsyl
vania, Erie and New York Central, put
on extra trains on the Baltimore and
Washington, and Chattanooga and At
lanta and Charleston routes to take them
South. There are tens of thousands of
fortunes waiting for men who ha\.e the
enterprise to gp an$ ' wiq thtift. The
South beckons you tq cuipe. *itop curs
ing the South a«d lying about the South,
and go and try yourselves the cordiality
of her welcome, and the resources of
her mines,her plantations, and her forces.
Perhaps that is the way that God is going
to settle this sectional strife. There will
be hundreds of thousands of ou^ bright
est, most intelligent and most moral
young men, who will go South
for residence, and they will in
vite the daughters of the South to
help them build homes amid the magno
lia and orange groves, and their children
will be half North and half South, half
Georgia and half'Vermont, half SoutR
Carolina and half New York; and there
after to ' divide the’ country you would
have to diviifa the children with some
such sword as ftofamon sarcastically pro
posed for the division of the contested
child, and the Northern father will say
to the Southern mother: : ‘Come, my
dear, I guess we had better put this po
litical feud to sleep in his cradle.” The
statement so long rampant at the North
that the South did not want industrious,
useful and moral Northerners to settle
among them, I brand as a political fal^\
hood, gotten up aud kent «- p f or po ij tica j
purposes.
Again, I have to correct the impression
that the South is bitlerly against the tfOv
er M meni, of the Vnited States. The
South submitted to arms certain ques
tions, and most of them are submissive
to the decision. There is no fight in them.
We hear much about the fire eaters of
the South, but if they eat fire they have
a private table and private platter of
coals ip a private room. I sat at many
tables, but I did not see anything of that
kind of diet. Neither could 1 see any
spoon or knife or fork that seemed to
have been used in fire eating. Why,
sirs, I never saw more placid people—
some of them with all their property
gone and starting life at forty or sixty
years Of age with one leg or one arm or
one eye, the passing member sacrificed
iu battle i It is simply miraculous that
tliose people feci so cheerful and so amia
bie. It is dastardly mean to keep repre
senting them a9 acrid and wprpmg and
saturnine and malevolent. I have traveled
aa much as most people in this and other
lands, and I have yet to find a more af
fable, delicately sympathetic, whole-
hearicil people than the people of the
South. They are to-day loyal and patri
otic, and if a foreign foe should attempt
to set foot on this soil for the purpose of
intimidation and conquest, the forces of
Bragg and Gary, McClellan and Beaure
gard. B<se ana Grant, would come
shoulder to shoulder, the blue and the
gray, and the cannons of Fort Hamilton,
Sumter and Pickens would join in
ONE CHORUS OF THUNDER AND FLAME.
The fact is that this country has had a
big family fight, bqt let a neighbor come
in to interfere, apd you know Bow that
plwpys wor^s. Husband and wife in
contest, the one with a cane and the other
with a broom stick, if some impertinent
individual attempts tp came between
them, he gets both pane and broom-stick.
I have sometimes thought that the North
and South would never understand each
other until the approach of a common
enemy compels them to make a common
cause. If foreign despotisms think we
have no pohesion, no centripetal force
as a cation, they have only to
test it. The fact that, instead of the
thirteen colonies, we embrace everything
from Atlantic to Pacific oceans, implies
no weakening of national grip. By
steam and electricity our country is with-
in easier control than at the foundation
of the government. It took two weeks
to get ofticial communication across the
country at the start; now it takes two
minutes. San Francisco, and Galveston
and DesMoines are nearer to Washington
now than Richmond was then. There
never was a time when this nation was
30 thoroughly one as to-day. Would to
God we might more thoroughly appre
ciate it.
You see the whole impression of my
Southern journey was one of high en
couragement. The great masses of the
people are right. If a half dozen poli
ticians at the North and a half dozen at
the South would only die, we should
have no more sectional acrimony. It is
a case for the undertakers. If they will
bury these few demagogues out of sight,
we will pay the entire expenses of cata
falque and epitaph, and furnish enough
brass band to play the rogue’s march.
But time, under God, will settle it. The
generations that follow us will not share
in the antipathies and bellicose spirit of
their ancestors, and will sit in amaze
ment at a state of things which made the
national graveyards of Murfreesboro,
Gettysburg and Richmond an awful pos
sibility.
On a clear morning of week before
last we took a carriage and wound up to
the top of Lookout Mountain. Up, up,
up! We went out on the rocks and saw
in five States of the Union—scenes so
stupendous and overwhelming that you
involuntarily take off your hat, in the
presence of the grandest prospect on the
continent. Y'onder is Missionary Ridge,
the beach against which the red billows
of Federal and Confederate courage
surged and broke—40,000 on one side,
65,000 on the other. Yonder are the Blue
Mountains of North and South Carolina.
With utmost stretch of the eye.yonder see
Kentucky and Virginia. Here at the
foot are Chattanooga and Chickamauga,
the pronunciation of which proper
names will thrill the ages with thoughts
of valor and desperation and agony.
Turn round on the tip top rock of Look
out Mountain and see earthworks to the
North and South and East and West.
There is the beautiful Tennessee river
curving and coiling all through the
plain in letter S after letter S, as if that
letter written on all the scene
might stand for shame that
brothers should go into such massacre
of each other while God and the
nations look on. I had stood on Mount
Washington and on the Sierra Nevadas
and on the Alps, hut I never saw so far as
that morning from the top of Lookout
Mountain. Why, sirs! I saw seventeen
years into the pa»t and up the sides of
the mouDtaia on which I stood rolled the
smoke of Hooker’s storming party,while
the foundations of eternal rock shook
with the cannonade. Yea, the fouryears
of internecine strife came back, the
events without chronological order, and
I looked in one direction and saw the
navy yard at Norfolk on fire, and
SUMTER ON FIRE,
and Chambersburg on fire, and Rich
mond on fire, and saw Ellsworth fall,
and Baker fall, and Lyon fall, and Bisk
op Polk fall, and Stonewall Jackson fall,
and I saw hundreds of giave trenches
finally cut into two great gashes across
the laud, one for the dead men of the
North, the other for the dead men of the
South, and my ear as well as my eye
quickened standing on Lookout Moun
tain. And I heard the tramp, tramp of
enlisted armies, and the explosion of
mines and powder bolts, and the crash
of fortification walls and the mortnr
batteries, and the “swamp angel," and
the groan of dying hosts fallen
across the pulseless heart of other
dying hosts, and I looked still
further till I saw on the banks of the
Penobscot, and Hudson, and Ohio, and
Oregon, and Roanoake, and the Yazoo,
and the Alabama, widowhood and
orphanage and childlessness, in exhaus
tion of grief gnd others stark mad; and
I said “Enoug of the past have I seen
from Lookout Mountain. O God, give
me a glimpse of the future.” And that
morning it was revealed to me, and I saw
another prospect from Lookout Moun
tain—great populations moving South
aud moving North, aud I noticed that
their footsteps obliterated the hoof-marks
of the war charger, and I saw the angel
of the Lord of Hosts stand in the national
cemeteries, trumpet iu baud, as much as
to say, “I will wake the§p soldier’s f*om
their long encampment at the right time, ”
and I looked and I saw such snowy
harvests of cotton and such golden har
vests of corn, covering all the land, as
we have not dreamed of; and I saw that
all the earthworks were down, antf all
the war barracks down, und aij tfie gun
carriages down, and tbg rivers wound
through thg yaTleys, their letter a seem-
iqg no m°re for shame, but H for salva
tion, and when I found that all our
weapon* of war had been turned into
agricultural implements, I was alarmed,
and cried, “Is this safe?” Then, stand
ing on the tip top rock of Lookout
Mountain, I heard two voices which
somehow slipped the gat;, ant! they sang,
“Nation chc,i a«t LG up sword against
naiion, neither shall they learn war any
more. ” And I recognized the two voices.
They were the voices of two Christian
soldiers who fell at Shiloh; the one a
Federal, the other a Confederate.

ECOAOMY IS WEALTH.
To save where you can is a laudable
aim. Nobody has any money to throw
away. The only way to save is to buy
from first hands—fr*m ttu manufacturer.
Keep the fact well in mind before pur
chasing elsewhere, that we manufacture
all our ClothiDg. Other houses may
blow, but in comparing prices with ours
the public will soon find out that it is
only brag. They buy their goods of the
manufacturer and have to pay a profit
besides. Our businam is conducted with the
aim t* sell direct to the consumer at the
same price as retailers have to pay to
wholesale houses in New York. The
immense amount of business we do
enables us to sell with a small profit.
Everybody buying of the Famous New
York Clothing House saves money. Our
ClothiDg for SpriDg and Summer for
style, beauty of material and low prices
surpasses all our previous efforts. We
have added Hats to our stock and guar
antee you that nobody will sell you a
Uat or anything else in our line as cheap
