A great deal is being said about the
influx of emigrants into New York from
Europe, while slight mention is made of
the arrivals at other Atlantic ports, and
yet Philadelphia and Baltimore are re
ceiving emigrants at the rate of 1,200
each a week. The number of emigrants
arriving at these ports is four times as
great as last year, and increasing every
day. The Antwerp line, from January
1 to May 1, brought no less than 5,258
emigrants to Philadelphia, the Liverpool
line 4,392, and so on in proportion
These emigrants are of more varied
nationalities than those coming to New
York, there being comparatively few
Germans and hardly any Irish, while
Swedes, Danes, Norwegians, Italians,
Belgians, Swiss and Russians are numer
ous.
"It is,” says the St Louis Dispatch,

and almost in the light of a Democratic
calamity, that we repeat our previous

didate the Republicans could present,
and therefore his assured defeat at Chica
go will operate in some measure to
Democratic disadvantage. But it must
be remembered that Grant’s defeat wil]
ensure the withdrawal of Mr. Tilden,
and that then there will not be the slight
est difficulty in fully harmonizing the
pemocratic party for the fall campaign.
The Sugar Tariff.
The subject of a proper and just tariff
on sugar is one which is now attracting
a great deal of interest, and strenuous
efforts are being made in all quarters,
except among the re&niog interests
of New York and other Northern
cities, to induce Congress to abolish the
present complicated system, and estab
lish in lieu thereof an uniform and
reasonable tariff. As matters now
stand the duty on merchantable
or grocery sugars is so high
to be prohibitory. In consequence,
the lower grades which require refining
and clarifying before they can become
merchantable have to pass through the
hands of the Northern refiner*, who en
joy a monopoly of the business to the
great detriment of the public and of com
merce. The country is thus flooded with
cheap fraudulent sugars, adulterated
with glucose, muriate of tin and other
worthless and deleterious compounds
called ‘ poor man's sugars,” and made
to resemble higher grades of the art!
cle, but in reality only vile imita
tions. The protected refiners, en
joying a monopoly of the sugar trade
thus make immense profits from a de
ceived and defrauded public, and it is
mainly to the activity of their efforts
that the Committee on Ways and 3Ieans
have so far failed to report a bill to reme*
dy the existing evil, since the Chairman
of that committee, being fromj New
York, very naturally is inclined to ad
vance the interests of the sugar monopo
lists of his city.
To effect the much needed reform in
this matter Hon. John G. Carlisle, of
Kentucky, has prepared a bill which is
to be offered in the House of Representa
tives providing for an uniform duty on
all sugars below No. 13 Dutch
standard—which has been gener
ally admitted to be the dividing
line between merchantable sugars
and those which have to be refined or
remanufactured—and for light duties
on sugars above that standard. The
object of this bill is that good
grocery sugars may be imported into the
country, placed in reach of all classes of
our citizens at reasonable prices, and
whilst furnishing a revenue to the gov
ernment, enable consumers to procure
a wholesome and pure article, instead of
being forced to purchase such cheap
compounds as are now palmed off upon
them by the Northern refiner and adul
terator.
This bill came up before the Committee
on Ways and Means on Saturday, the 9th
inst., where there was quite a struggle
over it between the friends of the public
at large on one side and those of the
monopolists on the other. It was
finally defeated by one vote—that
of Mr. Felton, of this State. Why
a Representative from Georgia should
thus have voted directly against the in
terests of his State and section, and in
favor of keeping them in subjection to
the Northern refining monopolists, it is
indeed hard to conjecture. He perhaps
can explain it. We learn, however, that
he has since expressed a determination
to vote for a uniform tariff when the
measure comes before the House.
The committee then adopted a bill
offered by 31r. 1 ucker, of Virginia, pro
viding for testing sugars by the polaris
cope, and graduating the duties on them,
a measure; which by no means remedies
present evils, and which many of the
gentleman’s own constituents have, in
letters to him, strongly disapproved of.
When this measure, so adopted by the
committee, is offered to the House, Mr.
Carlisle will move the adoption of his
bill as a substitute, and the matter will
then be finally considered and passed
upon.
So far we have only alluded to the
frauds and impositions successfully prac
ticed upon consumers at large by means
of the present protective and prohibito
ry tariff on merchantable sugars. The
detriment to commerce from the pre
sent system is, if anything, even a greater
evil. At present every port in the coun
try except those of New York, Boston
and Philadelphia, where the large refine
ries are located, is ehutout from receiv
ing Jimports of suga, and what would
be a valuable item in our import trade
is taken from us for the benefit of a few
favored ports. With the prohibitory
tariff removed, Savannah for instance,
could largely import sugars from the
West Indies, as she formerly did to a
great extent, and thus furnish return
cargoes for ships entering our port for
our exports. At this time this is a matter
of special interest to our merchants.
We have effected a combination with
the object in view of making this port
a shipping point for the grain and
other produce of the great West, and what
is needed to make our commerce what
it should be are these return cargoes
to give us imports as well as exports.
With the present prohibitory tariff abol
ished, and the trade in sugar restored,
Savannah can import her
sugar for the Western trade as readily as
does New York. In this way, a valua
ble import trade could, in this item alone,
be established, and without such trade
no port can be said to be really and truly
The New Railroad Law.
This law is the subject of very general
discussion in the State, and it relates to
a matter of great interest to the people.
It is as well, therefore, to re state the
points that are essential to a proper
understanding of it Whoever keeps
them in mind will be able to judge of
the «ense or nonsense in anything that is
said or written about it.
The constitution required the Legisla
ture to make laws regulating railroad
tariffs, to prohibit unjust discriminations
and to prohibit railroads from charging
other than just and reasonable rates; and
the Legislature passed such a law
Just and reasonable rates should yield
a just and reasonable compensation to
the railroad companies, and when they
earn a fair dividend on their stock, that
is, just snd reasonable compensation,
they should be satisfied with it.
Unjust discrimination is allowing one
locality or class of shippers or passen
gers or some one individual advantages in
the way of rates that put some other lo
cality or class of persons or some one in
dividual at a disadvantage in carrying on
business or else make them pay an un
due share of the cost of doing the ser
vice and of the profit to the railroad
company.
The law undertakes to insure just and
reasonable rates to the railroads, and to
prevent unjust discrimination against
any locality, class of persons, or in
dividuals, and this should be satisfactory
to all parties interested.
These objects are to be attained through
three commissioners. Have these com
missioners complied with the law? This
is what the people have a right
to know, and as they stand as
arbiters between the people and the
railroad companies, owners of railroad
stocks and bonds have the same right to
inquire into their acts as other citizens
have. They have the same right to de
mand justice at -their hands as any lo
cality or any individual has. Justice
to the railroad stockholders, is to protect
them in charging such rates as will yield
a reasonable profit on their investment.
Justice to the people, is in protecting lo
calities and persons against unjust dis
criminations.
Let the Commissioners carry out the
law as it was intended, and they will be
entitled to the gratitude and support of
all classes of our citizens, whether they
ship freight, ride on railroads, or own
railroad stocks and bonds. Their pow
era are amply sufficient. Quoting their
own report to the Governor, they say;
There is no sense of weakness, but
rather of anxiety, in the use of large
powers, positive, not merely negative,
which, like thumbscrews, take a powerful
hold, to that even litigation to test them is
dangerous.”
Such powers were never before granted
to any three men, in time of peace, in
this State, and, through a defect in the
law, no appeal to the State courts has
been provided where their decisions do
not give satisfaction. The Commission
era should therefore use these extra
ordinary, almost sovereign, powers with
great care, for any mistakes or rash ex
periments may result in loss of revenue
which they cannot make good, or may
drive business away from commercial
centres which they cannot induce to re
turn.
Suspected Radical Treachery to
Grant.
At present, says the Troy (N. Y.)
Press, “there is room for suspicion that
Senator Cockling and Senator Woodin
(one of the bolters of Grant instruc
tions) have an understanding, and that
they will betray the friends of Grant and
the friends of Blaine. After General
Grant returned from his three years’ ex
cursion it was reported on good authority
that he had changed his opinion of Mr.
Cockling. Notwithstanding these re
ports, the Senator appeared as the
Grant leader in this State. Recently,
however, in an interview he con
fessed his fear that Genei&l Grant
could not be nominated, and hinted
of a dark horse. What sort of a confes
sion was this to make? If Mr. Conkling
had been altogether a Grant man
would he have encouraged the enemies
of his candidate and deprecated the
General’s own chances ? A few days
afterward, Senator Robertson’s bold
letter appeared and the Blaine men re
joiced. But Senator Robertson has no
backbone. Of his own motion he would
not have written the letter. Are he and
Senator Conkling and Senator Woodin
acting together in the interest of Hamil
ton Fish?” If the suspicions of the
Troy Press are well founded, there may
be some ground for the suspicion that
the bolt in Pennsylvania was also a cut-
and dried trick arranged by Don Came
ron, and that the repudiation of instruc
tions in both States is intended to fur
nish a pretext for an abandonment of
l he Grant candidacy by the Senatorial
syndicate.
Radical Falsification of History,
General Sheridan has been affording &
practical illustration of how official re
ports of battles were made by onr
friends, the enemy, during the war. In
his official report of the battle of Five
Fork's he declared that “the Fifth Army
Corps burst on the enemy like a torna
do,” and yet, the other day, when giving
in his testimony in General Warren’s
case, he testified that “the Fifth Corps
lay down and seemed rather timid.” The
World says that 3£r. Stickney, having
called Sheridan's attention to the dis
crepancy in his statements, the
redoubtable rider explained it in
this wise: "I was anxious not to an
tagonize the Fifth Corps. They had
won great battles for me, and there
fore I spoke well of them. The
praise was not justly due, but they had
won a battle for me, and I was willing
lo forgive them their faults.” It does
not 6cem to have entered into Sheridan’s
head that there was such a thing as his
toric truth to be considered, and it is
very evident he no more regarded that
than Gen, Sherman did when he charged
the burning of Columbia upon Hampton
for the purpose, as he afterwards stated
in his memoirs, of bringing the South
Carolina hero into’discredit among his
own people. But such are the writers
of official accounts of battles fought
during the late unpleasantness.

CCTUorr. May 14.—Dear Sews: It was my
intention to keep our renders posted in regard
to the proceedings of the Georgia Press Con
vention by a daily report, but what with the
cares of presiding over that body and the
pleasures incident to accepting the numerous
courtesies extended by the hospitable people
of this pleasant town, I find that the day of
parting Ls at band and that 1 have but a few
hours left in which to do my correspondence.
The members of the Georgia l*reea Associa
tion met in Powell’s Hall on Wednesday at 10
o’clock, and were welcomed by a large attend
ance of citizens and a speech from Col. J. T.
Flewellen, a distinguished member of the Cuth-
bert bar. His adores* was appropriate to the
occasion, aud the best of many similar ones
which I have had the pleasure of listening to.
He paid a just tribute to the public services
rendered by the newspapers of the country,
more especially to the press of Georgia, which
had ever been faithful guardians of the interest
of the people. In the dark days of reconstruc
tion. when many faltered in doubt as to the
proper course to take, the press pointed to the
patu of duty as the path of safety, and. as
faithful sentinels, sounded the alarm when the
rights of the commonwealth were in danger of
being trampled under by the rude heel of an
irre-porndbie government, at the same time
encouraging tne people to look forward to
a brighter future, which came much soon
er than waa expected. The press wan
a great power—the people looked up to
it. and looked not in vain. From the
fourth estate it had risen to be the first estate.
It was no longer asked what this or that man
said: but what does this or that paper say?
Tbs people were enlightened in regard to pub
lic affairs and guided In their opinions by this
great power. J he eloquent speaker was lis
tened to with mark»*d attention by the mem
hers of the Association. CoL D. fc. Butler, of
Madison, Ga., responded in appropriate terms
to the address of welcome.
1 will not bother the readers of the Nxws
with a resume of the two days proceedings of
the association. The official proceedings will
appear in a few days and aU Interested can
read them.
A resolution was unanimously adopted re
questing each member of the Association to

The question was finally settled by a resolution
requesting the President of the Georgia Press
Association to memoiialize the Legislature to
repeal the law passed in 1879.
A resolution was passed and telegraphed to
:atron in O I ’—
Col. Robert logersoll, tbe prominent
Illinois Republican who in 1876 so elo
quently presented Blaine's name to the
Republican National Convention, has
been interviewed at Cincinnati He is
still enthusiastic for Blaine, but in an
swer to a question as to whether the Re
publicans would win regardless of who
may be nominated at Chicago, said: "I
think the Democratic party just now has
the best chance of winning. You see
the Democrats have 138 votes solid from
the South. That much they arc sure of,
and if they can carry New York and
Indiana they will have 188 votes, three to
spare. Besides these, there is a chance
of their earn ing New Jersey or Connec
ticut, and perhaps Oregon or Nevada.
You see, there has been such an emigra
tion from Nevada to Leadville and other
points in Colorado quite recently that
there is no telling how these States are
going to go. Even if the Democrats lost
Indiana, if they carried New Jersey and
Connecticut, they would still be safe.'
prosperous.
This is a subject of such proportions
that it cannot be discussed in an ordinary
editorial article as exhaustively as its
importance demands. We think we have
already said enough, however, to show
the duty which Congress owes to the
people and to trade to relieve the
country at large from the thral
dom under which it has for years
been placed to the sugar monopolists of
the North. Especially is it incumbent
upon Southern members to use all their
efforts to secure the passage of 3Ir.
Carlisle’s bill, since by such action con
sumers will be able to secure cheaply
one of the necessaries of life, the vile
compounds of glucose, etc., will be
driven from the market, and trade in a
very important article, now crushed out
by prohibition, will be restored, to the
manifest advantage of every Southern
port.
Five thousand immigrants in twenty-
four hours at New York indicates the
unprecedented volume of the current
exodus from Europe to the United States.
The magnitude of this transoceanic
movement of population is especially re
markable in view of the fact that it ia
almost altogether made up of individuals
and families or small parties, acting in
dependently and without concert, rather
than of organized colonies.
The palace of the Tuileries is finally
to be restored and converted into a grand
French national museum. The Radicals J
or Red Republicans have fought against
this proposition for some time past, de- !
daring that as tbe huiidiDg was a monu
ment of the Bourbons it would not do to
restore it. Some of them suggested that
it should be pulled down altogether and
the grounds laid out in a garden: others
wanted it left just as it is at present, a
wreck and ruin—a fit emblem of!
monarchy in France. The Municipal
Council of Paris decided, 6ome time ago,
rebuild tbe palace and use it as a
own . r P UTC museum, and, it seems, has now secured
the necessaiy permission from the As
sembly to do so. The palace will bo
erected on much the same plan as it was |
before it was burned, and, it is esti
mated, will cost some fifteen million j
francs. When completed it will be used
as a museum for French antiquities, as j
its si9ter palace, the Louvre, has been
utilized as a national picture gallery.
Muting Speculation.—The Denver
(Col.) Review states that there are 474
mining companies in this country which
have capital in the shape of negotiable
shares. Some 400 of these are recent in
corporations. The Bonanza mines of
Nevada, and some few other properties
of a productive and stable sort, repre
sent about $300,000,000 nominal capital,
but the other mines, with a nominal
capitalization of about $1,400,000,000,
have very little to show for it. Their
actual property does not exceed $50.
000 capital paid in, and about os much
more in actual mines, lands, machinery
and ore in sight. Yet the mining specu
lators have shares out to the enormous
nominal value of $1,700,000,000 in this
country, in addition to some ninety three
companies and $400,000,000 nominal
capital in England representing United
States mines. To pay a six per cent,
dividend on this capital would require
$126,000,000. But the total annual pro
duct of gold and silver in this country is
always under $100,000,000, und practi
cally all the proceeds of our mines are
absorbed in the payment of labor. The
surplusage of productive mines is con
sumed by the cost of working those
which arc not productive. These figures
more than suffice to show how baseless
our mining speculation is.

repeal of the duty on type and printing mate
rial. One of the members argued against the
adoption of the resolution on the grounds that
Sinte the advance in paper the people in his
county received a better price for their old

more money into his county than he paid for

waa very vigorously handled, but tbe resolution
was unanimously adopted.
On Wednesday evening the Cuthbert Ama
teurs gave an ente-tainment at Powell's Hall,
for the purpose of aiding in erecting a new
fence ia front of Andrew Female College. 1 he
bll: announced was "Lady Audley's beeret,”
and that nonsencical farce "Id on Parle Fran
cois.” both plars, however, were excellently
cast and well performed, the pretty Miss Ger
trude Gunn taking tbe part of "Lady Andley,’’
which she rendered in a manner that would
have done credit to a professional The lady
is a little below medium height, w bile her male
supporters were all very tall gentlemen. This
fact made the acting somewhat awkward. W.
J. Barry as "Luke Marks’’ was the »>est actor.
All on the stage, however, did well for ama
teurs, and the audience testified their satisfac
tion by an abundance of applause.
Thursjay morning the Association .visited
Andrew Female College and wen* warmly
welcomed by Its President, Dr. A. L Hamilton,
who in a brief speech proffered to each editor
in I he State a free scholarship for any female
relative. Speeches in response to this hearty
welcome and generous offer were made by
Col. D. E. Butler and R. M. Orme, Esq., after
which the party proceeded to Powell s Hall.
Dr. A. L Hamilton, the President of Andrew
Female College, has done all that a man can
do to bring the institution up to its proper
position. It is well known to those interest
ed that this college was formerly under the
control of the Methodist Church, but owing to
its rot being self sustaining it was abandoned
by the Conference, and for many years it had
a very precarious existence. Under Dr. Hamil
ton aud a local board of trustees, however, it
appears to have received a new impetus, and
now 128 young ladies are being educated here
An important fta’ure of the college is what Dr.
Hamilton calls "Physical Training,” which 1
understood to be the same as what is known in
our schools as calisthenics. "Physical Train
ing,” however, would be more properly called
Treating Physical Deformities, and is a system
of treatment of physical disease the practica
bility of which Dr. Hamilton has already de
monst rated in a most satisfactory* manner. The
cases to which I saw the system applied were
as follows As a matter of delicacy I omit
names, but give the facts in each case with the
hope that the publicity may be of benefit to
those similarly afflicted:
Mire H , daughter of a prominent citizen
of (Quitman county, aged twenty years, left
side paralyzed since an infant, leg bent and
foot twisted and dragging: left arm. wrist and
fingers deformed, and bad never been moved
or used; could not use the arm at all. When
she came to the ooJJyge six months ago she
could scarcoly walk, even with a stick and
crutch. She can now move her arms in any
F -aitkm. walks without aid with but a alight
rap. Her health is now excellent.
Miss H . of Sumter county, aged 13. had
curvature of spine, accompanied by abscesses,
had been sick from her birth. This young
lady is the only daughter of a prominent phy

Strange antics the cyclone* play with
the people of the West On Sunday

the wind to a point one-quarter of a mile
distant and act down in a wheat field—

Morpheus into the lap of Ceres.

The Australian Exhibition.—Mr.
Augustus Morris, one of the United
States Commissioners to the Interna
tional Exhibition at Sydney, Australia,
writes to the State Department that “in
all cases where the leading American
manufacturers have sent their products
to the exhibition they have either ex
celled all competitors of other countries
or stood in the fi-st rank.” American
watches are above all competitors, and
American pianos and organs in the first
rank with the best In silver and plated-

Tbe name of this distinguished gen
tleman is now prominently before the
people of Georgia for their next Gov
ernor. From a review of the field, he
appears to be, by far, the strongest aud
most popular of all those whose names
have been mentioned for that position.
His friends and advocates are not con
fined to any one section, but are to be
found in great numbers in nearly every
county in the State. He is strongest in
his own section and throughout Southern
and Southwest Georgia, and wherever
personal!v known is loved and admired
by ail. The best evidence of true char
acter and merit in any man ia to enjoy
and possess the full confidence and esteem
of those among whom he lives, who
are his every day associates, and who
have every opportunity of best judging.
Mr. Lester has had no part n thus hav
ing his name so prominently before the
people, for he is no politician or office
seeker. His merits, however, are appre
ciated, and we regard it a most hopeful
sign when the people of their own ac
cord bring forward such a man for the
highest honor in their gift. We lose to
know something of the early days of our
leading men, and the following brief
sketch will lie interesting to all:
Rufus E. Lester was boro in Burke
county, Ga, December 12th, 1837. His
father and grandfather were both named
Ezekiel Lester, and were highly esteemed
citizens and farmers of that county. HU
father died when hU son Rufus was only
two years old. Here, in Burke county, in
what is known as “Lester's District,”
he grew up, spending part of his boy
hood in school, and a part at work on
the farm. He was early impressed with
the importance of an education, and was
prepared for college by Mr. II. S. Haw
ley, of Effingham county. In 1854. at
the age of 17, he entered Mercer Uni
versity, then located at Penflcld, from
which he graduated in 1857, with
the fir t honor in his class. Most of hie
classmates are dead. Senator Henry B.
McDaniel, of Walton county, and Judge
Thomas G. Lawson, of Putnam, two of
Georgia’s noblest sons, were bis college
mates. He went to Savannah in Jan
uary, 1858. a country boy and a stranger,
without money or influential friends, and
studied law in the office of Norwood it
Wilson, composed of Hon. T. M. Nor
wood, now ex United States Senator,
and General Claude Wilson, a brave Con
federate, who died in November, 1863,
of disease contracted in the army. He
was admitted to the bar in the
fall of 1859, and be at once
became a partner with his instruc
tors, under the firm name of Nor-1
wood, Wilson & Lester. At the outbreak
of the war he enlisted in tbe service of
his country aud served through it all,
first us Adjutant of the Twenty-fifth
Georgia Regiment and afterwards of
Wilson's Brigade; he was badly wounded
at the battle of Chicamauga. but soon
recovered and was at his post. At the
close of the war he returned to Savan
nah and again entered upon the practice
of the law; and has for many years been
one of the ablest and most successful
members of that profession. Although
enjoying a lucrative practice he is ever
ready to aid and defend the poor and the
friendless.
Mr. Lester's public life commenced at
the early age of thirty, when he wts
nominated and elected, in 1H68, Senator
from the First district of Georgia, em
bracing the counties of Chatham, Bryan
and Effingham, which position he has
ever since and now holds, having been
three times—in 1870, 1874 and 1877—re
elected, without any opposition in the
Democratic ranks, cither in the nomina
tion or at the polls. This single fact
-peaks volumes of praise and recom
mendation in his favor. He was called
by his people to serve his Slate, without
solicitation on his part, during the
darkest period of her history, when the
counsel of our wisest anti best men
were needed, and it is a remarkably
favorable comment that his whole
career has worthily met with ap
proval, praise and endorsement
from his constituency and the State
at large. He is tbe only member of tbe
present Senate who has been so long and
uninterruptedly returned since the war.
His experience und ability as a legisla
tor are by no means inconsiderable. He
was elected President of tbe Georgia
Senate in January, 1877, and again in
November, 1878, which office he now
bolds, and in which he has added much
to his reputation. Those who are best
capable of judging, say he is one of the
very best presiding officers that ever
filled that high place. In its adminislra
tion he is impartial, just and conscien
tious.
In the late trials of impeachment
against Goldsmith and Renfroe, after be
ing fully convinced of the truth of the
charges against them, he not only voted
for. but advocated their overthrow. It
is believed that tbe coming campaign is
to be an aggressive one. We must have
a leader invulnerable to attacks, not one
who must be vindicated, or whose blun
der or faults we are called on to defend
or cover up. Not a dog can rnovo hL
longue against Mr. Lester. No one can
or will dare assail character, pub
lie or private. It is believed and
hoped that our convention, soon
to meet, will make him our standard
bearer. In Rufus E Lester we
have a Governor of whom ail Georgia
will be proud. Brooks.

GEN. GORDON’S SHEEP RANCHE,
C ard from s Gentleman Who Is In a
Position to Know.
Philadelphia, May 7. 1880.
Editor* AntjuKta Chronide anil Curuditu
tionotist:
Dear Sir—In your issue of April
20th I sec the following in a letter writ
ten by the lion. A. H Stephens:
“ Another of the ‘positive statements'

“ f Oeor * i ». the citizen, I disprove, is in these words: * * »
This statement Gen. Gordon charac
terizes as “another instance of those
aberrations of intellect into which Mr.
Stephens is loo often betrayed by the in
tensity of his prejudice!" A singular
expression, this’ indeed, coming from
one who has so recently, to say nothing
are putting the latter in order for th. tine of
the Agricultural College, which. In the mean
while, is quartered in th. former buildine

would be a great advantage to our young men
to have a collegiate education at a nominal
The intention of the Oneida commu
nity to start a branch organization in
Citnitda is not favorably regarded by the
Canadian press The objection does not
lie against the theories of the com
munity in regard to property, which
they hold in common, but against the
relation of the sexes which has obtained
until lately in New York. Free love
ideas and practices, it ls evident, will
not be established upon Canadian soil
without a struggle. If the laws now in
force do not prove equal to the preven
tion of such immoralities, iaws will tie
enacted to meet the emergency. The
example of Mormonism in the United
States has proven how dangerous it is to
tolerate the first beginnings of innova
tions which strike at the foundation of
public virtue.
Senator Bayard, says the Boston Her
ald (Independent), has certainly the bet
ter of Hayes in his criticism upon the
action of the latter in vetoing the defi
ciency bill, not because it was an in
stance of bad legislation, but because it
bad a rider attached to it. The Senator
points out that it is not the duty of
Hayes to object with his veto to the form
in which legislation is presented to him,
if there is nothing in its spirit to which
he can find fault The habit of engraft
ing political riders upon appropriation
bills is not a device invented by the
Democrats since their accession to power.
It has been used repeatedly by the Re
publicans, and would unquestionably be
used by them now if they were in the
position of the Democrats.
Tbe leader of the Philadelphia dele
gates to Chicago, Mr. James McManes,
says: “I will not vote for General
Grant if the whole convention is for
him. Neither will I submit to the dic
tation of Senator Cameron or any one
else in this matter. 1 cannot say for
whom I shall vote,” In due time, Mr.
Cameron wiil probably meet Mr. Mc
Manes and will declare an intention of
dropping the Grant candidacy in defer,
ence to the Republican sentiment repre
sented by the bolting of Mr. McManes
and others. He will then suggest that,
in order to make Pennsylvania’s voice
influential at Chicago, he and Mr. Mc
Manes agree upon some compromise can
didate to be supported by (he Pennsylva
nia delegation as a unit. Mr. McManes
will accept the suggestion and thus the
breach will be healed and Cameron's
power remain apparently unabated—but
Mr. Blaine will not be the compromise
candidate.

Never again is the “unit rule” likely
to be a politioal factor. The repudla
ticn of “unit instructions” this year will
be so general that hereafter no political
manager will have any confidence in it
as a means of controlling State delega
tions. This probable abandonment of it
will give a death blow to the “favorite
son” system of political management,
by means of which State delegations have
been held under the control of one man
quietly and comfortably with tnv friend Capt.
W. W. Dews (whose kindness and attention will
always be remembered), and I was loath to I
disturb that equanimity of mind which comes I
from the knowledge of what is to be. 1

My telegram yesterday may have conveyed
the idea that the shooting affair mentioned in
it was between members of the Press Associa
tion. It waa not* however, but was between
John T. McAllister, a young man who is study
ing law, and W. E. Conley, a bar keeper. The j
shooting took place in the bar room of Boone
£ Conley. McAllister vas “under the in
fluence,” and Conley tried to put him
out and was shot. McAllister was at
once arrested. and the yrand Jury,
then in session, promptly found two
indictments, one for assault with intent to |
murder, and the other for carrying concealed
weapons. Judge Hood let the shooter out on
>403 bail. Conley is in a very dangerous condi
(ion.
