WEDXESDAT, MAY 19. 1880.
TAPPING THE WIKEH.
The Workingmen's State Convention of
California met at San Francisco on Monday
last. On the question of permanent organi
zation the political fight took place, the ma
jority report favoring the election of a State
Central Committee and ignoring Kearney,
and the minority report favoring the old
organization nnder the leadership of Kear
ney. After a hot debate the minority re
port was adopted.
Nashville is alive with citizen soldiery to

France, even to those who cherished unjust
prejudices against it.
M. Constant has been appointed Minister

place of M. Lepere, resigned.
The Kyan Goss prize fight has been de
clared off.
John H. Foster & Co., grain merchants of
Boston, have failed with liabilities one hun
dred and fifty thousand dollars.
The conference of the Irish Parliamentary
party met at Dublin, Monday, and the Dub
lin correspondent of the Times says that
notwithstanding the efforts of the moder
ates of the party to heal existing divisions
and secure the union of the discordant ele
ments, the result was a total failure.
The Albany, Ga., Fair opens to-day, and
the prospect is fine for a large crowd, a
good display, and a generally enjoyable
time.
The President has decided to appoint
Horace Maynard, at present United States
Minister resident at Constantinople, to suc

At the Home Rale conference in London
yesterday, Mr. William Shaw, who hgs here
tofore acted with the party, 6aid if Mr.
Parnell’s policy on the laud question was
identical with the views he ennunciated in
America and in Ireland, he would not re
main a member of the party.
The slate of tho Republicans of Illinois
has been cast, with the following result:
Grant has a majority of sixty-four in the
State Convention, not counting the Cook
county delegation at forty-two, if the thirty-
®ix ijplegates claimed for Grant from Cook
county be admitted, but if the Blaine and
Washburne delegation from Cook county
be admitted, Grant would be in a minority
of twenty-six. It is to be hoped that Grant
will be well cooked in Illinois.
The appropriations for fuel, light, gas,
water, etc., for the public buddings have
been exhausted and the Secretary of the
Treasury has notified Collectors of Customs
of the fact, and that the government can
not spend money which has not been ap-
prlated. The Petersburg Gas Company and
Water Works on being notified to cat off
their supplies failed to do so, being satisfied
that Uncle Sam is good for the amount and
are willing to credit the government.
The Hanlan-Courtney race, which takes
place to-day on the Potomac in front
of Washington, is the absorbing topic there.
All preparations have been made. Hanlan
is the favorite by long odds, and upwards
of seventy-five thousand dollars, have been
staked on the result. Mr. Hayes and his
Cabinet will view the race from the referee’s
boat.
An immense mass meeting of Conserva
tives was held at Richmond yesterday—over
six thousand persons, and many ladies
among them. Senator Eaton and Repre
sentative Hard addressed the meeting.
Delegates to the State Conservative Conven
tion, to be held in Richmond to-day, were
appointed, to which convention a large
number of delegates have arrived in the
city.
Immense forest fires are reported in the
Catskiil Mountains, New York. The whole
brow of the mountains is a mass of flame,
and great danger is apprehended. The
hotel is in great peril and it is thought can
not escape destruction.
Like the Democratic delegates from
most cf the other States which have yet
held their conventions, the Wisconsin
delegates have been chosen for their rep
resentative character and not because of
any particular attachment for any par
ticular aspirant The Cincinnati Con
vention will, from present indications,
be a deliberative body, competent to
take into consideration the welfare of
the country as well as the interests of the
party, and to reach a satisfactory con
clusion thereon. It will not be a gather
ing of messengers.
The Whittaker Mjstery.
The present status of the Whittaker
case at West Point is decidedly unfavor
able to the colored cadet Not only has
there been an entire failure to fasten the
outrage on any of his white fellow-stu
dents at the military academy, but evi
dence is strong to prove that Whittaker
cut his own ears and tied his own limbs
to his bed-post,either in the hope of arous
ing sympathy to secure his graduation
at the institution, or to get up a first-class
Southern outrage for use in the coming
Presidential campaign. Five experts,
all we believe Northern men, and pre
sumably some of them of Republican
proclivities, declare that the specimens
of Whittaker's handwriting submitted
to them agree with the writing in the
note of warning which he claimed
to have received, and what
is still more hurtful to the
case of the colored cadet is that the
said note was written on the half of a
sheet of paper on the other half of
which Whittaker hadbegun a letter
to his mother. If all this is
not accepted as proof positive against
him, it certainly forms a chain of cir
cumstances hard for him to break, and
while he is entitled to the benefit of every
doubt until positively convicted, the
onus of proving his innocence now
rests on him, and until he does
clear himself he must, and will
be the object of grave suspicion. We
notice that the ultra Radical journals are
evidently pretty well convinced that
Whittaker is the gudty party, for they
observe a discreet silence on the subject
in marked contrast with the howl they
raised when Sherman first promulgated
his Eliza Pinckston fable.
Two very important facts have been
revealed by the Whittaker investigation,
however, which we do not believe will
be lost upon the country. FirsL It has
been developed that the prejudice
against the social equality of the negro
race is not confined to the South. Ever
since Whittaker entered the academy he
has been let severely alone, and so
cially ostracised most thoroughly.
He does not seem to have had
an intimate friend at the post except
the negro barber, Simpson, employed
to cut the cadets’ hair, although a
majority of the cadets are Radical sons
of Radical and abolition sires. This
should very clearly show our colored
fellow citizens that the affection pro
fessed for them by their Northern white
brethren is all sham and hypocrisy, and
that the so called philanthropists have
no use for them longer than they can
use them.
Second. This Whittaker business is
a fair specimen of the negro out
rages always so industriously manu
factured, and so freely circu
lated about election times. Had Whit
taker evidently not so bunglingly car
ried out his plans, a first class
sensation, which would have lasted until
November, might have been started, and
he would have richly won a place high
up in the regard of his party. His fail
ure has so far been an ignoble one, and
now even if a gang of Ku-klux should
turn out and enact a real Eliza Pinckston
tragedy in the South the people of the
North would be slow to believe it. Whit
taker’s fiasco therefore will, under ex
isting circumstances, necessarily be
heavy drag upon the plans and purposes
of the bloody shirters.
For these reasons, the alleged Whitta
ker outrage has, up to this time, resulted
beneficially to the South and the Demo
cratic party. It is to be hoped, however,
that the mystery will yet be finally
solved beyond doubt The corps of
cadets have suffered grave suspicions,
and been the victims of many
discreditable innuendoes. If Whittaker
is guilt} - , as he undoubtedly seems to
be, they ought tc be completely exone
rated; if, on the other hand, he is inno
cent, his innocence should be clearly
established, so that he may be relieved
from the odium under which otherwise
will attach to him through life?
Intimidating the White Trash.
A singular spectacle is presented to the
American people In the recent presenta
tion to Congress of a petition from white
citizens of the United States, and of the
State of Illinois, praying that they may
be granted equal rights and equal pro
tection by the laws with their colored
fellow-citizens. Though it may seem
incongruous, it is nevertheless a fact that
the negro is far better protected in his
rights than are the white men, and those
who for years labored to secure the
privileges of citizenship for the ex-Blaves
and to protect them in the exercise of
those privileges, now find themselves
forced to appeal to Congress for protec
tion against unjust discrimination in
favor of the blacks. The petition re
ferred to Eets forth that the United States
Circuit Court for the Northern district
of Illinois has delivered a decision
in the case of certain citizens of Elgin
against their employer, holding that the
fifteenth amendment to the Constitution
of the United States applied only to
colored men, and that white citizens
could claim no relief under its provisions,
or under the laws passed in conformity
with the amendment The employer in
sisted that his employes Bhould vote for
the candidate of his choice, and threat
ened them with dismissal in case of re
fusal. They were astonished at learning
from the Federal Court that the laws
passed by Congress to protect citizens
in their rights applied to colored men
only, and that there was no re
course for white men, and no
punishment for those who attempted
to intimidate them. There seems to be
no question but the white citizen has a
grievance. Under the decision referred
to he is relegated to a condition ap
proaching serfdom, and has no redress in
the courts or under the laws of the land.
The only class of people protected by
those laws are the men who were lately
•laves of the whites, and who are in a
minority of one to ten of the entire popu
lation. It would, therefore, not be un
becoming in Congress to pass such laws
as may be necessary to assure white men
of protection against intimidation at the
polls. As “men and brothers” they are
clearly entitled to some consideration.
Sobbing the Soldiers’ Home.
At the close of the Mexican war
Genera! Scott took a forced contribution
which he had levied on the City of
Mexico as a nucleus fund, from which
about two hundred acres of land were
purchased and the necessary buildings
erected for the establishment of what is
known as the Soldiers' Home at Wash
ington. A monthly deduction is made
from the pay of every enlisted man,
which is a sort of insurance, as he be
comes entitled to support at the Home
after a certain number of years’ service.
The unclaimed pay of deserters and the
fines levied by courts-martial also go into
this fund, which during the war became
very large. In 1868 the Commissioners
conceived the idea of enlarging the
grounds so as to form a large ornamental
park, and bought at private sale, at an
enormous price, the well-known country
seat of Mr. Corcoran, containing some
four hundred acres. The six hundred
acres now the property of the Home
have been picturesquely laid out
with serpentine drives, over which the
equipages of Washington Bociety roil
every pleasantafternoon, but the origins!
estate afforded ample room for exercise
by the o!d soldiers. Expensive buildings
have been erected, among them houses
occupied as summer residences by the
President and the Secretary of War, free
of rent,although the veterans are crowded
into cramped quarters. A large herd of
dairy cattle is kept from the products, of
which the families of persons high in
authority are supplied with butter,
cream and milk gratis, while the old
soldiers get scanty rations of butter and
skimmed milk. The fruit and vege
tables raised on the place find the same
destination. The veterans at the Home
are much disgruntled over this misap
propriation of whst belongs to them
and they protest against it in a quiet
way, but thus far without success.
LETTER FROM THOMASYILLE. JOHN MCDONALD’S THREAT.
Colonel Haines’ Visit to Thomas-
vile—Thr State Railroad Com
slon—Politico-.Vllaor Topics.
What He night be Able to Do If So
Hlndcd.
Hood Advice to the South.
The Southern Democrats may find it
to their interest to consult, not the bread
and butter pol ticians of the North who
will support anybody, but the disinter
ested men who know best who will be
the strongest. The following from the
Springfield (Mass.) Republican, Indepen
dent, is every line practical common
sense:
■Tilden as a candidate would be as
dangerous to his own party as Grant
would be to the Republican party, and
more so. Tilden is the only Democratic
nominee who would put Grant's election
within the line of political possibility
nothing else can. The nomination of
Tilden would make the open support of
the Democratic ticket by thoughtful Re
publicans practically impossible. All
Tilden’s signal ability as a political leader
would avail nothing against the bligh
fact that under his candidacy the Demo
cratic party could make no converts and
would receive no reinforcements. The
moral party and every doubtful State iu
the North would pass over to the Re
publican column. The delegates to the
Cincinnati Convention m this State ap
pear to be alive to this fact, and in a
series of interviews in the New York
World pronounce for Bayard. If the
Democrats of Massachusetts want to
lead the right of the party column, in
stead of straggling at the rear, they have
only to make it plain to the South that
Democrats iu debatable States at the
North demand not Tilden, but some can
didate of tbe first order, like Bayard.
This year, as four years ago, the South
wants the man the North wants, and
Democrats in this Stale are making but
a poor preparation for a national canvass
which may carry Massachusetts over
among the doubtful States in idly wait
ing for Tilden’s campaign to be com
pleted instead of striking the key note of
the Democratic canvass by putting Bay
ard forward, when the Chicago Conven
tion is balancing between two evils in
Grant and Blaine.
The San Francisco News-Letter says;
"We have no hesitancy in declaring that
De Young was murdered because the
Kallochs could not stand what De Young
would have conclusively proven. The
duty was upon him to prove that the ar
ticles which he published with a view to
prevent Kalloch’s election were true. An
overwhelming array of testimony would
have been produced of which this com
munity has but little conception. ”
Says the Boston Transcript (Inde
pendent): "The principle of States’
rights is even more necessary as a safe
guard of the character and form of the
government of this overgrown conti
nental republic than it was when the
statesmen of the old thirteen colonies
of the seaboard jealously reserved all the
rights not expressly given away in the
Constitution.”
The land thieves in Colorado who call
themselves “prospectors” have declared
war against the Indians on the Ute reser
vation, and they say that they will wage
it unless the government interferes to
protect the red men. Why make this
qualification? Why not declare war
also against the United States? The
threat is an impeachment either of the
sincerity of the government or of its
energy.
The Bridgeport Farmer says the re
port that Vice President elect Hendricks
and other prominent Indiana Democrats
have pronounced in favor of Associate
Justice Field for the Presidential nomi
nation is very important, if true. It
may mean that Mr. Hendricks has re
tired from the race, and that an alliance
of the Western and Pacific Coast States
in support of Mr. Field is in contempla
tion. »
No Withdrawal.
The events of the last few day3 in
Illinois have, says the St. Louis Republi
can, taught the opponents of General
Grant one lesson at least—that he is not
to be pelted off the track by turf and
and other romantic missiles. Three
months ago it was imagined that he
would not make an effort for the nomi
nation—he would accept it only if it
were all but unanimously offered him,
and Mr. Secretary Sherman set to work
to break the apparent unanimity which
then existed for him. But the Secretary
failed. The scramble which he forced
his antagonist into only proved that his
antagonist could scramble better than
himself. Then Mr. Blaine went into the
work with the intent to make it so hot
that the ex-President would be forced
to retire. He did make it hot in
deed, but the ex-President did not re
tire; he is there yet, and it looks as
though he intended to stay till the play is
out. A dispatch from a prominent Grant
man in Chicago to a friend in Washing
ton says: “Don’t be alarmed by the re
ports from here. We are all right, and
the fight for Grant has just begun,” and
a Washington dispatch to a Philadelphia
paper says: "The leaders of the Grant
movement say that General Grant can
not withdraw himself; that they will not
allow him to withdraw even if he should
like to do so; that he is devoted to the
interest of hb friends, and it is due to
them that he remain a candidate.” And
the ex-President himself is quoted as
having recently said: ‘ ’My enemies can
not force me from the field.”
This seems to settle the question. The
ex President is running this race for all
there is in him, and he intends to se: it
through to the end.
The Fight lit tween the Pacific Rail
roads and the Squatters
The fight between the deputy United
States Marshals and so called squatters
on railroad lands in California the other
day, wherein six persons were killed, is
the result of an old quarrel between the
Central and Southern Pacific Railroads
and the farmers of Tulare and Fresno
counties, in Southern California. These
settlers occupied, many years ago, some
marshy land, which was apparently in
capable of cultivation. By draining It
and constructing canals and other works
they greatly improved it, and in a few
years it had become one of the richest
sections of the State. The railroads in
the meanwhile, however, had patented
the land, and the farmers who had de
veloped it were declared squatters. The
latter resisted the attempt of the railroad
to dispossess them, and the question was
fought in the courts for years. All of the
decisions being agaiDst them, the Tulare
farmers organized a land league, banded
themselves together, and swore not to
allow themselves to be ejected by th(^
railroad. Last Monday two of the per
sons to whom the Southern Pacific Rail
road had sold a portion of the land in
dispute attempted to evict, through a
United States deputy marshal, a mem
ber of the league. The league organized
several hundred strong in a few minutes,
followed up the Federal officials, and a
regular battle ensued, in which the two
men who had rashly purchased the rail
road property and four of the settlers
were killed. The settlers are as deter
mined as ever, and declare that they will
die together rather than surrender their
homes.
An effort is being made In the interest
of Mr. Blaine to induce a belief that his
nomination would placate the anti Grant
Republicans, and thu3 harmonize the
party. As a matter of fact, the anti-
Blaine faction is fully as strong, numeri
cally, as the anti-Grantites, and very
much stronger in the matter of actual, ac
tive political influence. They consider
him a demagogue with a' loud-smelling
record, and hold that his nomination
would insure a disastrous defeat. With
tbe aid of the Grant Republicans, they
will succeed in defeating the Maine
Senator.
The State, county and municipal debts
of this country were, for the most part,
incurred in the inflation era between
1866 and 1873. Since the panic of 1873,
however, the States and cities have been
very economical and the gr -nd total of
their debts has been reduced rather than
increased. It is different, however, with
Ohio, which has been piling up its in
debtedness during the very period of
bard times” which has been prevailing
all over this land. In 1872, the total
local indebtedness of the "Buckeye
State” was $17,000,000, while iu 1879, it
had increased over 300 per cent to $41,-
490,000. These debts were incurred
mainly for railroads, the example of
Cincinnati in assisting the Cincinnati
Southern being imitated by nearly all
the smaller towns in the State.
The Radicals Object to a Colored Yiee
President.
There seems to be some objection on
the part of the Radical third term lead
ers and organs to placing a colored
brother on the ticket with Grant for the
Vice Presidency. There is something
extremely inconsistent in this objection.
On what ground can the Radicals object
to putting such a colored politician as
Fred. Douglass, Senator Bruce or Hon.
Milton J. Turner in the second place on
their Presidential ticket? Either of
the men named, as Radical
politicians, are the peers of
the white leaders of the party, who
profess to be the especial friends of the
negro race, and who so strenuous y in
sist upon negro social and political
equality and their fitness to hold the of
fices of the government. And, as for
Grant, surely he cau make no objection
to the placing a respectable colored Radi
cal on the ticket with him; for did he
not during his recent visit to Florida,
when the question was raised about ad
mitting negroes to one of his receptions,
utter these memorable and significant
words—"Wherever I am they cau
come. ”
Without the colored vote no Radical
can be elected President. In view of
this fact, the negroes hare a right to de
mand the second place on the ticket;
they can force the concession if they
will, while the granting of it by the
Radicals, however distasteful to them,
would be but a just recognition of their
obligations to, and dependence on the ne
gro vote.
THOKAanLU-Xar 15.—Editor Morning .Veil;
M your able and ubiquitous Atlanta corre
spondent, 4 Chatham, recently per-adoo this
section, I quietly stepped aside and left him sole
harvester in the field, and be gleaned it. as your
readers know, but he has swept cn where the
laurels arc thickest, and as events, like grass,
perennially spring up, though as often mowed
down. I again thrust In the sickle. Perhaps
the most important event of the past week
was the advent of OeL H. & Haines. General
Manager of the Savannah, Florida and West
ern Rahway, who requested a conference with
our merchants at the City Hall, on Tuesday
laat, and there addressed a large audience, em
bracing much of the wealth and intelligence of
the county, on the operation of the rules and
regulations of
Tnz stats nanjtoan cosnamtos.
Various opinions spring from his printed
notice requesting the conference, as to his
object in discussing that question before the
people, chief among which was the soppoei
tion that a boom war designed against **-'
Commission; and hence there would prob
have been some warm discussion in the n
ing bad not the Colonel adroitly assumed the
attitude of a martyr to the laws and regula
tions of the Commission. It was not easy to
beUeve he really opposed the Justice and pro
priety of a Commission in which his own ap
probation and counsel confessedly stood so
prominent, and ao, with very few interroga
tions. directed to the unearthing ot his sup
posed design against the Commission, hia en
tire statement was courteously accepted upon
its merits as those of the speaker.
The audience called out several gen
tlemen in response, among them Hon*
W. M. Hammond, Solicitor R. ti. Mitchell. CoL
A. P. Wright and Hon. A. T. McIntyre; but
theae gentlemen seemed to have f .rmed a
definite idea as* to what position they ihould
occupy in the meeting, and appeared to beat
about in search of the propriety of the occa
sion. They were “surprised, 44 as the lawyers
say, by the astute management of Col. Haines
in the presentation of his subject, their likes
and dislises anticipated and forestalled, and
possible hostility disarmed by open, frank ap
probation of the law, as your correspondent
understood it. and meek avowal of entire sub
mission to the will of the people.
But the meeting seemed to whet the appetite
of our people for something of a more exciting
character than the monotonousstereoty ped re
ports of our one-sided politics, and we have
been giving audience to the most learned dis-
a uisitions upon the rights of railroad corpora
ons, of the people to restrain monopolies and
the dangers of centralization, ever since. In-
JJThe English opposition papers are
making the situation unpleasantly warm
for Mr. Gladstone, the new Prime Minis
ter. During the canvass he asser ed, in
pretty broad terms, that Austria was en
gaged in an underhand attempt to defeat
the Berlin treaty. This statement aroused
the ire of Austria. The Emperor resent
ed the imputation that he and his minis
ters were acting in bail faiih. One of
the first things which Mr. Giadsone did
on assuming the robes of office was to
take back all he had said about Austria,
and to apologize for bis language. Glad
stone’s political opponents assert that he
has made a blunder, while his friends are
at loss to discover upon what ground he
can he defended. No doubt, Beacons-
field is highly delighted at what is gen
erally considered a mistake of the new
Minister. Perhaps, Gladstone is intel
lectually Beaconsfield’s superior, but it is
doubtful if he is so adroit or so good a
diplomat.
The Philadelphia Times (Independent)
says of the West Point inquiry; "United
States District Attorney Townsend has
done but one good thiDg since he went
to West Point, and that is to come away.
It was not Mr. Townsend's fault that he
went there. He was directed to go by a
fussy administration at Washington, that
had been frightened by the braying of
the organs into a desire to do something
about the Whittaker case, it did not ex
actly know what But it is distinctly
Mr. Townsend's fault that he made him
self offensive to everybody from the mo
ment of his arrival, worried the court,
abused the witnesses and generally mud
dled the whole case. A still more de
plorable r. suit of Mr. Townsend’s per
formances at West Point has been to
drag into Whittaker’s case the most ir
relevant issues of politics and caste preju
dice."
that is to say. if this railroad question runs on
into politics, in which event we will be sure to
make hash of somebody, though we don't know
exactly who.
We are inclined to the opinion, from the
learned arguments we have heard or read on
the subject, that the law creating and em
powering the Commission is rather wide in its
scope, recognizing too high an order of disin
terested patriotism and integrity for this age of
partisan strife and ambition for place and
power. It is perhaps prudent to yield no more
than we can take back in an emergenev, at
least restrain under dire necessity. But there
is reslly no need of disturbing the minds of the
people on this subject tor the present, because
we are not aware of any disposition on the
part of the Commission willf ul'y to oppreas, or
on the part of the railroads captiously to op
pose the legitimate application of the law. If
errors have been committed on either 6ide.
we doubt not chat such readjustments will be
agreed upon as will remedy any injustice, upon
the mere showing of the facts in the cose.
This course will do very well until the Legis-
laturemeets, when any defect in the law may
also be remedied. There is no conflict between
the people of Georgia and their industrial pur
suit*. nor can a people so famed for enterprise
be induced to cr.pple their own progress, by un
due or unnecessary restrictions upon the com
mon energy and thrift. Georgian -. kno v how
to harmonize and fosterail such interests when
they take thought, and so we are not alarmed
about these matters.
POLITICS.
The political arena here is still almost with
out interest, which shown perhaps, that what
ever our aspirations may he we are a prudent,
cautious people, preferring harmony with cer
tain success to the doubtful conflict of division
for the gratification of persona 4 ambition. Now
tnat the counties are preparing to hold meet
ings for the appointment of delegates to the
District Congressional Convention, there will
probably be a little more activity among the
friends of aspirants, and the several aspiring
sections of the district be seen to concentrate
more around their champions. Whoever may
be the fortunate Dominee. we think his election
will be Bure. To all appearances here, Inde-
pendentiem was rendered powerles--. and the
back bone of Grantiam effectually broken
by the Atlanta Radical Convention,
biaine and Sherman in that conven
tion ruined Grant in this section,
and the 44 colored repudiation of the white
trash 44 on the same occasion, sent the white
Radicals cf this district out to sea, without
rudder or compass They don't know what to
do. They were for Grant generally, but the
demonstration of his opponents in Atlanta
frighten them out of their conceit, and they
have been meekly waiting ever since to find out
which is the strongest candidate, that they
may once more throw up their hats and raise a
loyal rhout. The colored part of the menage
rie feel that they achieved a grand triumph in
Atlanta, and are resting easy under theim'pr.s
•ion that as they obtained a majority of col
ored delegatee to Chicago they will hare things
their own way so far as the Georgia delegation
is concerned; but these credulous political
fledgelings are probably destined to over
whelming disappointment The majority of
white alternates they permitted in Atlanta will
have bought out or otherwise assumed the
places of their principals by the time the con
vention meets, and the “white trash 44 will be
found once more to have floated to the surface.
This discovery will reproduce on a granuer
scale iu Chicago the Radical bedlam we beheld
in Atlanta.
MINOS TOPICS.
Tha farmers are working away wiib
will, making good use of the sunshiny
resther to kill the grass and repulvenze the
surface crusted by cool winds following the re
cent rains. These winds ore considered by
many as very injurious to young cotton, check-
ing its growth and stunting the plants. How-
ever, we have aa yet heard very little complaint,
and the prospect for a good crop is, so far, very
good. A singular thing is presented this sea
son in the fruit i rees, especially peach apple
and pear trees. Even up to this writing, tha
15th of May. very few of these tree* show re
epectable foliage The flowers and scant young
fruit duly appeared, but only a few branches
put out foliage, and all over the trees nude
branches still present the appearance of mid
winter. Of course, they will put out later, but
what effect this freak will hare upon the vitali

next season, fruit growers can only determine
by close observation. All the varieties of the
pear here are involved iu this freak except the
variety known as LeConte. which appears —
green, stately and well clothed as usual.
Tkomasvilfe is about to indulge in another
little enterprise in the way of a comfortable
drive or bou'evard around ita undulating ro
mantic suburbs, which, when completed, will
form another important addition to its attrac
tions as a Diace of winter resort, making the
complete circuit of the town over hill, dale
and brook, threading here a suburban avenue,
skirting there a dense forest or winding among I
floral garden*. The drive can be made four or
live miles in extent, and very enjoyable to our
visitors in the early spring. Taolus.
From a St. Lotas Letter.
"Don’t you think,” said McDonald
sharply, “I could make a sensation if
were lo deli rer a lecture in St. Louis, on
my experience while I was an officer
under Grant?”
Assuredly I did think so, and admitted
the fact. “Do you think of doing it?”
I asked.
“I don’t know hut I may,” was the re
ply. Then, turning with'a nervous jerk
of chair, he added: ' ‘People have
goHi wrong idea of me, and what I have
done and can do. I don’t suppose any
man in the history of this nation ever
had a greater lever under his hand than
I have got to day. if I want to move it
I am a peculiar kind of man, and one of
my peculiarities is that I never destroy or
lose a lelter or a scrap of writing that
get from anybody. Now, then. I’ve go
what would make a very close and clear
history of Grant's administration from
the beginning to the end.”
“What do you propose to do with it?’
I asked.
“That depends upon what other people
do—entirely.”
“What Uo you mean?”
“I mean to say this: That I’ve sacri
ficed everything'to an idea. I’ve been
imprisoned and ost a fortune of a quar
ter of a million, and been ostracised and
abused as no man ever was before. Now,
why have I suffered it all in silence?
There are men who will tell you I did it
because I couldn’t help myself. That
shows all they know about it. I went to
prison on an understanding and an idea,
and by going to prison I saved this coun
try the most frightful shame and disgrace
that ever could have covered any country
under the sun. Do you understand me?
1 walked into court, as you might say,
with the atmosphere of the President’
Blue room still in my clothing. I needn’l
have gone any farther than the court
alone. I might have had company. ”
"Do you imply that you went to pri
son by agreement and to save Grant?”
“I mean just that, in effect. I don'i
think I'm giving anything away when
say so, because there are plenty of men
right here in St. Louis that know it—not
as well as I do, because they don’t know
the facts except in a general way; hut it
is pretty commonly understood in this
neighborhood, I guess.”
“Then your intention is to let out
what you know?”
'Only under certain circumstances,
don’t want to see myself and my sacri
fices wasted, and the same feeling of
duty that sent me to prison will compel
me to tell what I carried there in case
these men appear to be in a fair way to
get control of the government again.
That’s all. I’m not so sure the Chicago
Convention will nominate Grant, but if
it does, look out for me. I'm up and
dressed for a fight, and I can sink that
crowd under a load that would kill them
so dead that a gra 'e robber wouldn’t
waste his time on them.”
I
THE MEXICAN PRESIDENCY.
A Qulutette of Candidate* and Their
Respective ’’Booms.”
A gentleman who has just returned
from Mexico, where he had exceptionally
good opportunities to iiecome acquainted
with the political situation there, fur
nishes the Graphic with some exceeding
ly interesting facts in connection with
the not far distant Presidential election,
which disturbs our Bister republic quite
as much as ours disturbs us. There is a
difference in methods and the starting
of a “boom” in favor of any particular
candidate. It generally costs a few lives,
but the spirit that animates the scene is
essentially the same. Speaking of the
various aspirants to the Presidential
chair, our informant says:
At this moment the most prominent
candidate is General Gonzales, who, at
the head of a military force of 9,000
men, has for several months been en
gaged in an effort to suppress rebellions
in Sonora, Lower California and Sinaloa,
and now reports all quiet in the West.
The opposition parly affirm that this
Western campaign is of a “political”
rather than military nature, and accuse
the President of placing in the hands of
the “government candidate” all the ele
ments necessary to intimidate and cor
rupt party chiefs, officeholders, etc.,
with the view of curry ing out a certain
programme, the finale of which is to be
the accession of Diaz as dictator.
Tbe second in influence is GareiDde la
Cadena, who will undoubtedly cany Za
catecas, San Luis Potosi and some of
the Northern States. Benitez, formerly
the protege of the President, has, since
his quarrel with Diaz, lost his “un
bounded influence, ” and a fusion of his
diminished party with that of Cadena is
anticipated—has. in fact, been agreed
upon. Lerdo, the exiled President, baa
some energetic partisans who are work
ing for him. but bis absence has, as a
matter of course, injured his cause irre
trievably. The party of Zamacona, Min
ister to the United States, although
numerically small, is composed of the
best elements. Among his adherents are
some of the truest patriots in the repub
lic. It is supposed that Senor Zamacona
will return to Mexico wilhin a month.
Some intelligent Mexicans and foreign
ers who have long and carefully watched
the course of events, lielieve that no
Presidential election will take place this
summer; that owing to the confusion
which the machinations of tbe five can
didates will occasion, Congress will de
cide tbe question or else Yallarta, the
present Vice President, will, by virtue
of his office, hold the reins of govern
ment until a new election or a revolution
takes place. The primary election will
ake place in June, the secondary in July.
So long as there was any prospect of
the Grant candidacy being a lively factor
in the Presidential problem, so long the
Blaine and Sherman organs were very
careful to abstain from any rabid section
alism, as likely to help the Grant can
vass; but now that Grant is practically
out of the race, they have readopted the
creed of sectionalism and daily prate of
‘rebel brigadiers,” etc., etc. This field,
however, has been so frequently “work
ed” that even the most diligent cultiva
tion is not likely to bring forth any ma
terial crop. On the contrary, as the mo
tive of tbe manipulators is more and
more clearly found to be purely partisan,
the losses are likely to increase much
more rapidly than the gains.
In view of the many reports as to what
the New York delegation will do at Chi
cago, the New York Times has addressed
a note to each delegate asking infor
mation as to his course. Answers are pub
lUhed from thirty-two, twenty-eight of
whom .say they will vote for Grant, three
declare that they do not consider the in
structions binding, and two say they do
not know what they shall do until they
get to Chicago. Taking these replies as
a fair test of the views of the entire dele
gation, it appears that the Blame mans
gers have largely overestimated the
probable defection from Grant. The
vote of the delegation seems to be practi
callv solid.
The value of ourexports is still greater
than that of our imports, but this fa
vorable balance of trade is a diminish
ing one. For the year ending with Sep
tember, 1878, it was $280,000,000; for
the next year it was only $246,000,000—
a loss of $34,000,000. For the conclud
ing three months of that year it was at
the rate of only $177,000,000—a further
loss of $69,000,000. For March, 1880,
it was only $6,447,362, or at the rate of
less than $78,000,000—& loss compared
with the year ending with September,
1878, of over $200,000,000.
Nineteen Democrats voted with the
Republicans and Greenbackers to keep
Yocum, the Pennsylvania Greenbacker,
in his seat. As many more failed to
vote at all.
No doubt, says the New Orleans Times,
the country will be grateful to Mr. W»t-
terson for settling a matter about which,
for a few weeks past, the country has
been more or less exercised. It is
whether Mr. Tilden cuts up his mutton
chops or whether that labor is performed
by an obliging widow who takes care of
Mr. Tilden’s bachelor establishment Mr.
Wattereon says that he has dined with
Mr. Tilden several times of late, and
that on each occasion Mr. Tilden man
aged to cut his chops himself. Mr. Wat-
terson, admits, however, that Mr. Tilden
has a weak arm and a droop ng, watery
eye, but declares that in other respects
he is as vigorous as he was in his palmi
est days. This important matter about
the chops and the widow having been
disposed of, it is probable the country
will rest easier.
Grant,” says the Springfield Republi
can, “lacks 101 of a majority at present,
and must carry all but seven of the dele
gates yet to he chosen. He will lose
more than this in Illinois alone. If he
has no better luck in Alabama and
Louisiana than in Georgia he will fall
considerably short of 379, the number
required to nominate. IVe have counted
for him all but two in Arkansas, and
given him a liberal allowance in other
States where there is some basis for the |
claims ot other candidates. If he lacks
25 votes of a nomination on the first bal
lot, the great third term campaign will
probably be blocked then and there. ”
The WOman’s Suffrage Association is
going to make an appearance before the
Democratic and Republican National
Conventions, and will endeavor to se
cure the passage of resolutions endorsing
a sixteenth amendment granting women
the right to vote. It has already ap
pealed to the Chicago Convention for
forty-six scats, and has organized a com
mittee to wait on the Cincinnati body.
A national convention of women suffra
gists will be held on the 25th of this
month at Indianapolis to organize this
movement and reassert the rights of
women.
At the Independent Republican Con
vention in Albany, N. Y., it transpired
that there was some opposition to Blaine
in the ranks, and this sentiment was re
cognized by the appointment of several
anti-Blaine Republicans as members of
the State Committee. These men now
declare an intention of bolting if Blaine
is nominated, and an endeavor to coerce
them into a retraction of their position is
in progress. This is a recognition pf the
fact that the chancea of the Maine Sens
tor depend very greatly upon the rallying
of the anti-Grant Republicans in his sup
port—an impossibility,
The Philadelphia Record is enthusias
tic for Bayard, and says: “IVhen he is
nominated a campaign fund will be rais
ed equal to any honest and necessary ex
penditure. Mr. Bayard has no 'bar'l,
and he has no need of any. He can tap
the purses of thousands of patriotic
friends, who in contributing to his suc
cess will feel that they are paying a debt
to the.country.” If Thomas F. Bayard
receives, aa he should, the nomination of
the Cincinnati Convention, he will need
no campaign fund to secure his triumph
ant election.
County Primaries.
Mctcon Telegraph.
Several counties in Georgia have al
ready held meetings or conventions and
designated their delegates to the two
State conventions, the first to meet in At
l&nta, June 6th, for the appointment of
delegates to Cincinnati, and the other at
the same place, August 4th, for the pur
pose of selecting electors and nominating
candidates for Governor snd State House
officers. In this connection, we should
earnestly call the attention of the Demo
cracy of the State to the following resolu
tion which was offered by Uou. P. H.
Bell, and adopted by the committee:
“Resolved, That the people of Georgia, in
selecting their delegates to said convention,
are hereby earnestly requested to adopt auefl
methods satisfactory to themselves, aa will in
sure a full, free, and fair expression of the
popular choice in selecting delegates and con-
didates. The conunicfee recommend that
meetings to appoint delegates to the Oral con
vention meet on the first Tuesday in June next,
and the meetings to appoint celegales to tbe
second convention tie held on Wednesday. the
seventh day of July, and in each case, that the
most extensive notice practicable be given. 4 '
The above was amended so as to in
sert Wednesday, the 21st day of July, in
lieu of the 7th of that month, for the pri
maries in the several counties to appoint
their delegates to the Gubernatorial Con
vention in August
The Executive Committee believed
that in designating the same time
throughout the State for the holding of
these primary elections or mass meet
ines, general attention would be con
centrated upon that particular day,
and a more thorough expression of
the popular voice would be obtained.
We agree with them, and for the
future harmony and welfare of the
party, would earnestly suggest that the
primary meetings be duly and extensive
ly advertised for several weeks previous
to any county election or convention
Let there be no snap judgments, no
packed or rotten assemblages, no fraudu
lent balloting when delegates come to
be chosen to appoint the standard bear
ers of the Democracy. This will go far
towards satisfying the people and
the Independent ghost. We trust
words will be duly heeded.
Conway’s Story.
New Orleans Times.
At last the labors of the Senate exodus
committee have been crowned with suc
cess. It sought long and faithfully to
discover why the colored emigrants from
the South suddenly turned aside from the
beaten path which led towards Kansas
and directed their steps towards Indiana.
Senator Voorhees felt sure that the new
direction which the exodus had taken
was not suggested and advised by the
colored people. He saw in this move
ment a deep’ laid scheme to change the
political complexion of hia State, and he
determined to expose it. It must be ad
mitted that his efforts at first were not
very promising. Indeed, until the com
mittee was about to close its work vety
little that was important was discovered.
The Republicans were shrewd, and
managed very skillfully to cover
up their tracks. Iu an evil mo
ment for them, however, they
called to the witness stand General
Thomas W. Conway. This Conway is
not an unknown individual. His deeds
while a resident of this State have given
him a reputation that an honest man
would not care to have. In this exodus
business he has been a very prominent
figure. It must not be supposed, how
ever, that his interest in it grew out of
any deaire to assist the colored people.
He was after money, and, no doubt, his
failure to get as much as he thought he
ought to have is the real reason why he
proved to be so good a witness for the
Democrats, and so poor a one for the
Republicans. In fact, Conway gave the
whole scheme completely away. He
told the committee how President Hayes
and the late Zach. Chandler arranged
to colonize the colored people
in Indiana in sufficient num
bers to make it a Republican
State. Conway was the agent employed
to carry out the scheme.' He went to
Indiana and fixed up matters with the
leading Republican politicians there.
When everything was ready for putting
the scheme in operation, Conway sta
tioned his agents along the route which
the colored people took to reach Kansas,
and they, by lies of one kind or another,
persuaded the emigrants to chaoge their
destination to Indiana. One of the lies
told by these agents was tnat the Kansas
people were determined that no more
colored people should come into their
State, and that they were keeping them
out with shotguns. This is bow, accord
lag to Conway, the colored people
were forced to go to Indiana. Con
way explains his share in the busi
ness by saying that he thought it
was fur the good of the country that the
Republican party should remain in
power because that party was in a higher
state of civilization than the Democratic.
There is no reason to doubt Conway’s
story. It is hardly probable, however,
that he would have told it if he had
been paid to keep silent It seems that
he claims that there are Btill due him
$700 for his services in this exodus busi
ness. The refusal of the Republicans to
satisfy this claim is. perhaps, the reason
why he deserted his friends in their time
of need. It is hardly creditable to the
President to be mixed up in such a dis
reputable affair. It Is not consistent
with the dignity of the Chief Magistrate
of the country to engage in engineering
litical schemes such as this which the
n&te exodus committee has exposed.

A Faith Home has been established in
Springfield, Mass. All persons afflicted
in body and mind who have faith to be
lieve that they can receive physical or
spiritual help are welcome there, and the
healiDg is secured through the prayer of
faith, the laying on of hands, and some
times anointing with oil. Patients are
allowed to take their own course while
in the house, and, aa Miss Warriner says,
“if they want a season of prayer while
we are in the midst of doing our dishes,
we stop right there and have iL” Miss
Warriner and Mrs. Risser are better
known in Chicopee, as Sisters "Orpha
and Rosa,” having lived there togeiher
for nearly thirty years. Mrs. Risser says
she was healed by faith of a grievous
disease of long standing, some few years
since. They depend wholly on the Lord
for their own support aDd that of the in
stitution, and they have the impression
that they will shortly be led by Him to
move nearer the heart of the city.
When the sh.ewd small boy who is
left alone in the house during the even

pie closet that it is bound to be noticed
when his parents return, he hies him to
hia room, puts a pillow in his bed to rep
resent himself, extinguishes the gas and
gets under the bed. And when the old
man comes up stairs, madder than a wet
cat, and without stopping to light the
gas, lathers that pillow with a trunk
strap, the boy yells as though he was
tttingit and the old man goes off satis-
ed. That’s the sort of a boy who will
grow up to run ward caucusses and be a
Senator.
