A dispatch from Constantinople to the
London Times says there is no sign of an in

There is little hope of a conciliatory atti

The Chinese ship Ho-Chung arrived in

of which were awakened by the rush of
waters, and were rescued with the greatest
difficulty. The scene In the neighborhood
of the swollen stream was terrible. Cellars
were also Hooded, causing considerable loss.

The three large Jesuit schools in Paris

Atlanta Constitution: “The Hon.
Thomas Hardeman, of Macon, has set
an example which some of his friends in
the convention would do well to imitate.
He has written a letter in which he de
clines to take part in the canvass. He
says he did not want division in the
party, and he will do nothing now to
promote the discord which has been
precipitated.
Opening of the Easiness Year.
To-day, September first, is the period
set apart by common consent as the be
ginning of the business year, and al
though the regular “annual statement”
usually issued from this office at this
date will not be published until Satur
day next, the 4th inst., a brief retrospect
of the main events of the year past will
be both appropriate and interesting.
The exhibit made by such a review is
extremely gratifying in showing the con
tinued prosperity of our city and her
steady growth in commercial importance.
According to the report of the Savannah
Cotton Exchange, issued last evening,
the net total receipts of the great
Southern staple at all the ports of the
United States since September 1st last
are 4,923,764 bales, against 4,440,978 at
the same time last year. Of this nuin
ber Savannah has received up to date
746,542 bales against 649,611 at
the same date last year -
an increase of 96,931 bales—while
at Norfolk, Virginia, the Atlantic
port at which the receipts are the next
highest, there has been received up to
date, 580,821 bales. This, as we have
said, is an extremely gratifying exhibit.
It places Savannah far ahead of all
rivals, and more firmly than ever estab
lishes her as the first cotton port of the
South Atlantic coast, which position she
has now held for the past three yeare.
The outlook for the future, too, is
equally as encouraging. The receipts of
cotton already this season exceed that
of any previous season at the same time,
they having been, up to last evening,
12,515 bales, and each day adds largely
to this number. There is no doubt,
therefore, that the superior advantages
as a cotton port offered by this city—her
unexcelled harbor, affording easy water
communication for the largest vessels
with all the ports of the world; her
responsible, energetic and experienced
merchants ; her long lines of railways,
making the cotton sections of this and
neighboring States tributary to her, and
her excellent lines of ocean and inland
steamers—must perforce be recognized,
and as she will not only enjoy these to the
same extent as at present, but as im
provements in her harbor are constantly
progressing, and as her transportation
facilities are being, year by year, in
creased, there is no reason to fear that
she will lose the high position to which
she has already attained.
Neither is it alone on cotton that the
future hopes of Savannah rest. A re
vision of her naval stores business is
equally as gratifying as is the above.
Of these stores she had received, up to
Saturday last, of rosin 145,033 barrels,
and of spirits 36,892, against 93,525 bar
rels of the former and 22,587 barrels of
the latter during the whole of
last year. This industry is com
paratively a new one in our midst,
having been started here only a
few years since. The above figures show
its rapid increase, and as it is yet in its
infancy, and as the country south of us,
through which our railways pass, is filled
with virgin pine forests just beginning
to be utilized, it is impossible to esti
mate to what limits it will yet extend.
Certain it i9, that it will add largely
to the wealth of our city, even if
it does not prove a formidable rival to
cotton. And, as it is a business beginning
just as the cotton season ends, it bids
fair to make our trade lively throughout
the year, and keep the wheels of com
merce in motion as actively in the here
tofore dull summer months as they
always are with us in the middle of
winter.
All other branches of business are un
usually lively. Country merchants are
beginning generally to realize that they
can supply themselves with goods as
advantageously here as in Northern
cities, and have alreaJy made large pur
chases, while our merchants are antici
paring an unprecedentedly fine season
Upon the whole the outlook is all that
the most sanguine friend of the city
could desire, and every indication is that
year by year our beautiful Forest City
will steadily grow in wealth, and ad
vance rapidly and surely in commercial
importance.
The Gallant Gordon at Columbus.
The Macon Telegraph and Messenger,
in commenting on the disgraceful con
duct of a portion of the Columbus audi
ence on Friday night last, utters senti
ments that will be heartily endorsed by
every true Georgian. It says: “Those who
hissed the gallant and glorious Gordon
should hang their heads with shame.
Has it come to such a pass that any
Georgian could be so blinded by
personal prejudice and partisan
fury as to insult a noble and
battle scarred soldier for standing
up in the defense of his slandered
friend? We cannot believe that Mr.
Norwood, or the bulk of his followers,
would justify such conduct. It would
raise such a storm of indignation among
the patriotic masses, and the noble ex-
Confederates who marched under Gor
don’s banner, that the offenders would
be forced to cry aloud for the ‘rocks and
mountains to fall upon them’ that they
might be concealed from the wrath of
an outraged people.”
It is but justice to the respectable
citizens of Columbus to say that only a
very insignificant portion of the audi
ence participated in the indignity offered
to their honored guest. A dispatch says:
Towards the close of bis speech there
was no disturbance, but calm, patient
listening, and the shots of his eloquence
went home to the hearts of the audience.
There was round after round of ap
plause. At the close of his speech many
of his old comrades crowded around
him to shake his hand and the ladies also
remained after the speech to give him
welcome. He closed am id deafening ap
plause, and many doubtful persons were
won over to tbe support of Governor
Colquitt and the true principles of justice
which he represents.”
National Fair Association.—The
second annual exhibition of the National
Fair Association will be held on its
grounds, near Washington, D. C., open
ing Tuesday, October 5, and closing Sat
urday, October 10. There will be some
$25,000 distributed in prizes. The
grounds at Ivy City are now finely im
proved, have commodious buildings,
etc., and a mile race track, which is said
to be perfect in form. The exhibition
of this association last year, it is stated,
was attended by 100,000 persons and was
very successful, but it is expected that
the present year’s fair will surpass it
both in interest and attendance.
Flaunting the Bloody Shirt.—
Hon. Galusha A. Grow addressed a
laage meeting in Titusville, Pa., Satur
day night. A noteworthy utterance of
the speaker was that : “If it became
necessary to protect the rights of citi
zens at the polls, and that if in doing
this it was necessary to kill as many
Democrats as were killed during the
war, let them be killed.” In an inter
view with a reporter of the Petroleum
World, he said the Republican party
would undoubtedly carry all the North
ern States.
The Democratic Party and the Nefro.
In announcing, a few days since in
Boston, his intention to vote and act
with the Democratic party in future,
General B. F. Butler, of Massachusetts,
gave as the main reason for his so ultra
change of base that he was the firm, un
alterable friend of the negro. He took
the ground that the Republican party,
after pretending to care so much, and feel
so deeply for “the poor African,” had
deserted him. and now because he (But
ler) was a friend of the black man, and
because he desired to do all he could “to
aid him in the difficult position in which
he is placed by the attainment, so un
prepared, of his citizenship,” he (Butler)
proposes to act with the Democratic
party, since it could, at least, protect
him, and, he believed, would do so.
So far as Gen. Butler’s devotion to
the negro is concerned, we believe he
merely uses that as a pretext for placing
himself once more in alignment with the
Democratic party. In so doing he
is merely acting consistently with
his whole previous record, which shows
that he is always to be found on the
strongest side. He was an ultra Demo
crat before the war, and so remained as
long as the Democracy was in power.
When Radicalism gained the ascendancy
he deserted the Democracy and became
a Radical “of the most straitest sect,”
and so remained while that party
was ruling and ruining the country.
His reappearance in Democratic ranks
at this time is indicative of the tact that
the grand old party which guided the
ship of State so prosperously and sue
cessfully for more than half a century
before war and bloodshed distracted the
land, is about once more to be entrusted
with the helm. Butler has a remark
ably long head, and as he himself once
said, very truthfully, whatever people
might say about him, no one ever did,
or ever can, say that he was a fool. His
sagacity and foresight now tell him that
this fall will see the Democratic party
fully restored to power, so he makes
haste to desert the sinking hulk called
“Radicalism” and jump aboard the
staunch craft which proudly bears the
name “Democracy.”
It cannot be denied, however, that
Mr. Butler’s record since the war began
shows that he has been consistent in
laboring for tbe negro. In fact, as he
is by nature radical in everything, so he
has in Congress during the past two de
cades endeavored to out Herod Herod in
his devotion to their interest. He was
the earnest friend and advocate of the
fifteenth amendment to the Constitution,
and of all the laws passed thereunder,
and he was specially the champion of
the civil rights bill. He allowed
himself to be carried away
so far by his feeling in this
direction as to make himself aj bitter
enemy of the Soitliern people, since he
even labored to elevate the black at the
expense of the white man, and no law
which could be proposed was too ob-
noxius for him in accomplishing this
object. And it should be borne in mind
that no matter how much property he
may have unjustly acquired from the
whites of the South, he has never yet
robbed the “poor African” of one single
cent.
The arraignment by General Butler of
his party for their hypocritical treatment
of the negro should, therefore, be heeded
by oui colored citizens, especially since
history proves his arraignment just. The
Radicals have ever proven false to the
negro, and have only used him as a
political hobby upon which they might
ride into power. Their whole treatment
of him may be summed up in a few
words. They first deceived him
with false promises to secure his
vote, and then broke faith
with him; then they robbed him
of his hard earned savings through the
medium of the Freedman’s Bank, and,
at leDgth, being no longer cither able to
use or abuse him further, they advocated
that he be disfranchised and reduced po
litically to the identical position he oc
cupied when a slave, merely because he
helped to increase the representation of
the South in Congress. It was Mr.
Blaine, of Maine, the leading light
of Radicalism in the country, who first
took this stand in Congress, and in it
he received the hearty sympathy, if not
the;active co operation, of Garfield him
self. Mr. Butler speaks true. The Radi
cal party has deceived and abandoned
the negro, and the best step the latter
can take is to follow the example of his
Massachusetts champion, and cast his lot
with the Democracy. As Butler says,
that party ever has, and ever will, at
least, protect him in his rights, civil and
political.

A Monster Steamship.
The largest screw steamship ever built
at London has Just been launched. Hhp
will be the pioneer of a new line, three
more ships of which are now being con
structed to ply between London and
New York. These vessels are to be
loaded with passengers and ordinary
freight on the outward passage, and on
their return are to take their cargo in
the shape of live oxen and bulk grain.
The steamers of the new line are con
structed especially to accommodate this
character of freight. The oxen will be
carried on two decks, while the grain
will be placed in the hold, stored in iron
bin9. The length of the ship just
launched is three hundred and seventy
feet, with a breadth of forty-three feet
and a depth of thirty-two feet six inches,
and her displacement when loaded with
a freeboard of no less than fourteen will
be seven thousand five hundred tons.
Her engines are two thousand five hun
dred horse power effective. She is built
entiiely of steel, made on the Siemens
Martin process, and has a continuous
double bottom on the principle adopted
by tbe admiralty. She has four decks,
the upper one of teak and two of iron,
sheathed with wood, and seven water
tight bulkheads. She will be classed at
Lloyd’s in the highest grade, as will all
her sister ships.
The Empress Eugenie will leave Eng
land in the autumn to take up her per
manent residence at her chateau in
Switzerland, which was the home of the
third Emperor’s mother after the Bour
bon restoration. It is understood that
the Empress will remove the remains of
her husband and son to the oratory at
tached to the chateau. All the furniture
of Camden House not removed to Switz
erland will be distributed for remem
brance among friends, nothing being
allowed to pass under the hammer of the
auctioneer. The Empress can afford this
respect for the imperial tradition, as she
possesses an income of over $200,000 a
year, and does not spend a sixth of it.
Special Correspondence. of the Morning Keros.
Jacksonville, August 30.—For many years
past the Central and the Jacksonville, Pensa
cola and Mobile Railroads have been involved
in legal complications, intricate and difficult.
None but a lawyer, and a pretty shrewd one at
that, could begin to unravel the legal meshes
in which these highways were entangled.
Mountains of law documents have been ac
cumulated In the course of the proceedings,
evidencing the zeal and pertinacity with which
the legion of lawyers employed have con
ducted the litigation—for these suits have
been to the legal fraternity, not only In this,
but several other States, & running fountain,
whose golden waters seemed inexhaustible,
a list of all of the gentlemen c f the long robe
who have at various periods been concerned in
these suits could be procured it would show
many names of men eminent in their pro
fession, and be as lengthy as some of the bills
of costs incurred. Nay, further, the fees and
charges paid out in the way of expenses would
go far towards extinguishing the fetate debt of
Florida. It will be a blue day for the members
of the bar when the final adjudication shall be
made and the cases shall be dismissed from the
docket.
As a general thing, the masses of the people
in Florida have had but little interest in the
controversy, beyond tne desire of seeing these
roads kept in order, and the intentions of the
original projectors of the enten>rise carried
int j execution. This comprised its completion
to Mobile via Pensacola. West Florida would
then have been brought into easy distance of
this portion of the State, and would have par
ticipated in the advantages of speedy and regu
lar transportation. As the East and West are
now situated in this respect, they are as far
apart as New York and Jacksonville. It is
rarety that you meet a West Florida man this
side of the Chattahoochee, except at a fctate or
Congressional Convention, or when the Legis
lature is in session. We are practically
strangers, and know but little of the wants and
interests of each other.
The people of the two sections eagerly desire
to be brough together. For years this hope has
been entertained and they care but little how
the great struggle, waged for the possession of
the road, may be terminated, so that this de
sideratum can be accomplished. It has been a
hope, shining dimly in the distance, but so far
away that a generation has been born and is
passing away without much prospect of its
early fulfillment.
Some weeks ago there was a rumor that an
understanding had been arrived at between the
litigants, by which all further proceedings were
to cease, and the roads were to be turned over
to the Dutch bondholders. This information
came from officers of the United States Court
in this city, and was generally credited. At-
torneys for the various interests involved were
said to be on tlieir way to effect a final settle
ment. The court, which had not adjourned for
the term, was kept open from day to day. in
anticipation of their arrival. This proved de
lusive, and the matter again rested.
Quite a ripple of excitement was created
here by an article in the Telephone of the 23U
inst., headed, “The J., P. and M. Railroad-The
Attorney of the Bondholders—Improper Use
of Railroad Money—Pzst Mismanagement and
Future Prospects.” It professes to assign the
reasons for the delay in the expected transfer,
and declares, upon what appears to be good
authority, that a new and strong hand has
taken the helm of this vexed question, and
will soon guide the laboring craft out of the
quicksands and whirlpools that have so long
impeded its progress to a harbor of refuge.
I Enow but little of the thousands of knotty
questions that have arisen in the course of
their interminable suits, and will only attempt
a brief synopsis of the information given by
the Telephone, for the truth of winch that
journal vouches. If what it asserts is accepted
tor fact, it really begins to look as if the net
was about to be taken from tlie limbs of this
great work, and as if the dream of years had a
fair prospect of a reasonably early accomplish
ment. J
According to the Telephone Mr. Frank R.
Sherwin made an arrangement with the Dutch
bondholders in 1675, or 1876. to take charge of
their interests in the Florida railroads. Ha
employed as attorney, Mr. C. D. Willard, of the
city of Washington, to whom all necessary
authority was given for the prosecution of
these claims. The Telephone's article goes on
to state several instances of Mr. Wiilard’s
alleged incompetency and mismanagement, by
which vast expenses were incurred, and a
lengthy litigation was promoted. It seems
that Mr. Sherwin, who has returned from
Europe, has become satisfied of tbe necessity
of a change in the management of affairs, and
prop jsses to assume control In person.
It is said that he possesses large resources of
his own and that he is backed by heavy West
ern capitalists. If the case,which has been ta
ken up on appeal to the United States Su
preme Court, and which will lie argued in Oc
tober. be decided in favor of the Dutchmen, a
uew railroad company will beat once organ
ized. and the work of completing the road to
Mobile be at once commenced. Rumor has it
that Mr. Pullman, of Chicago, and several other
solid, enterprising men of that section have a
finger in the pie, and that the money to carry
out this great undertaking will be forthcoming.
The road, when completed under this pro-
f Brain me, will constitute a link of the Southern
■acific.
It will certainly be a glorious thing to see the
splendid country west of the Chattahoochee
opened up to immigration and enjoying the
facilities for which it has so long pined. That

Solving the Labor Problem.—The
New Orleans Picayune learns that the
efforts of Mr. Nathan, who recently went
to Europe, in filling the orders received
from Louisiaua sugar planters for white
labor from Southern Europe have been
very successful. The steamship Missis
sippi, which sails from Corunna on the
2d September, will bring 200. The Teu
tonia, to sail about the 15th, will bring
500 more. Mr. Nathan reports that labor
is abundant, and the best quality can be
readily obtained,
region is fertile and desirable, pos-essing great
and numerous advantages, and under
the magic influence of rapid and cer
tain transportation, would soon present
a wonderful transformation. The people there
have waited long and patiently, and time and
again, hope deferred has made their hearts
sick.
It is well known that Alabama has long
coveted that portion of Florida that bounds
her Southern borders, and that many of the
citizens of that region were ouco not averse to
such a transfer. They have been so complete
ly isolated from the remainder of this Sta'e. so
unidentified, as it were, with its material inter
ests, that many seriously favored annexation
with Alabama.
We of the East cordially desire to be linked
with iron bands to our brethren of the West.
We want to take an early breakfast in Jack
sonville, and a late supper in Pensacola. We
crave the acquaintance of the many clever
fellows in Escambia and Santa Rosa, witnout
being compelled, as we now are, to take a cir
cuitous, tedious trip through Georgia and Ala
bama, to enjoy that pleasure. We desire to
soe a full share of the immigration pouring
into Florida, finding its way to the rich fields
and magnificent foresLs of the western portion
of our State, and we do not desire to sec any
portion prospering to the detriment of an
other. All should enjoy, as far and as soon as
practicable, equal advantages ami opportuni
ties, and the State lands cannot be put to a
better use than by being appropriated to the
construction of the great arteries of commerce
and internal communication, that bring com
fort and business to entire communities, and
unite them in common interests and mutual
fellowship.
So we say, hurrah for Mr. Sherwin and bis
associates, and bid them a hearty “God speed”
in their projected undertaking. 'Pensacola and
Jacksonville will give a joint grand banquet
the work is completed, and the fair
women and brave ipen of both cities will grace
the occasion and rejoice togetner upon the
happy result.
If Mr. Sherwin, who is reported to be a man
of fine business abilities, great Industry and
perseverance, and abundantly provided with
means, can succeed in disencumbering the
roads of their obstacles, and carry out the
original design, ho will not only deserve, but
will receive the gratitude and commendation
of all the people of Florida.
A few words as to the progress of politics.
All other interests appear to give way to this ab
sorbing quest iotL The campaign in this State
commenced a few weeks earlier than has
usually been the custom, and this betokens a
thorough and close canvass. Governor Blox-
ham, accompanied by General Perry, Mr. J. E.
Yonge and Colonels McWhorter and Gibbes,
have just got through West, and are n«w in
Middle Florida, coming eastward. Senator
Call and Colonel Davidson have been stirring
up the middle, while General Finley and Major
Russell have been making addresses on tbe
upper St. John’s and Indian rivers. AH ac
counts from the different sections speak most
favorably of the prospects of the Democrats.
Meantime, clubs are being formed in all quar
ters. and a complete organization is being per
fected. Muoh quiet work is being dope in a
systematic mo finer that does not appear upon
the surface, but which will tell heavily^n the
general result.
Meantime our enemies are not idle, but are
working in this portion of the State at lea8t,
with a zeal and industry worthy of a better
cause. This ip more noticeable among the
leaders than among their followers. Cer
tainly there is not at present, among the ne
groes that degree of enthu'iasm, that charac
terized the last Presidential and State cam
paign. In the accounts of the warm recep
tions given to their speakers at their differed
places' ot meeting the people, very little reli
ance is to be placed. When there |s a large
negro population they can always have a
large audience. That impressible race
take a holiday of such an occasion, and
go not to be instructed but to laugh
over an anecdote, and to meet their fellows.
When Blsbee and Conover strike the tchlte
counties, their hearers are few in number. In
spite of all that may be said to the contrary,
Conover has noi succeeded in removing the un
favorable impression developed immediately
after his nomination. Tbe Independent voters
up the river have not been reconciled, and hun
dreds will fail to give Conover their support.
His journeys in that direction, even though he
has Bisbee as a mentor and instructor, will be
fruitless. Bisbee groans in spirit under the
double burden of carrying his own sins of
omission and the deficiencies of Conover, and
the task becomes daily more intolerable.
Here in Duval, the fight between the ‘ bolt
ing” and “regular” factions of the Republican
party becomes continually more and more bit
ter. The former wing have the brains and re
spectability, if not the numerical superiority,
and appear sanguine and confident. They
boast, that if the Democrats do not put up a
ticket ror the Legislature, of thejr ability tp
defeat their opponents. No signs of yielding
are yet apparent, while they claim that they
are receiving constant accessions.
What position the Democrats! may assume
upon lhe matter will be determined at the con
vention, which will assemble on the 11th of
September. As matters now look, it is not im
probable that the convention will adopt a reso
lution declaring it inexpedient to make a nomi
nation for the Legislature. Such a course
would leave the individual members of the
party free to act as each would consider most
advisable. To put up a ticket would simply be
to bring about a fusion of the two factions,
who, however much they may hate each other,
will always unite to beat the Democrats. If
the Republican bundle of sticks is about to fail
apart, the Democrats need not apply a rope to
tie them together. It is impossible, as matters
now stand in this county, to overcome the ma
jority against us. but we can quietly look on
and see the warring elements get up a Kilkenny
cat fight.
The ‘ bolters” are better officered, more com
pact, and are animated by a recollection of
many frauds and deceptions practiced upon
them by the‘‘regulars/’ Most of the white
Republicans, who are not office-seekers, belong
to the “bolters,”
As mentioned previously, the heavy fight will
be in this district. 1 here are several reasons
for this. It is pretty generally conceded that
Witherspoon, the negro preacher, won’t nt
complish much agaiust Col. Davidson. The
managers have left him to control, if possible,
the large colored vote in Leon, Jefferson. Gads
den. Jackson and Madison, and he must rely
upon his own efforts for success. There are
but few white Republicans in this district.
Here the case is different. Bisbee. as Chair
man of his own Executive Committee, runs
the machine according to his notion, and has
doubtless secured the largest portion of the
campaign fund. He also virtually directs the
State Committee He has never been, and
never will be anything but a Bisbee man, and
having a wonderfully high opinion of that in
dividual, it is to be reasonably presumed that
he will not be unmindful of his personal in
terests.
He is very sanguine, and predicts his election.
I think he is greatly mistaken in this opinion.
The success ef the present delegation from this
State In securing appropriations far in excess
of all previously obtained through Republican
Congressmen, has stripped him of tne argu
ment in his favor, urged two years ago. This
will lose him many votes. In the seoond place,
the Democratic vote fell off largely in 1878 in
several counties. That defection will be fully
repaired in November. He has lost also in per
sonal popularity. Several of his strong sup
porters at the last election are now lukewarm
in his behalf. Local differences in this, Ala
chua and Marion counties threaten to impair
his prospects. He will soon, it is said, be com
pelled to choose between the factions in Duval,
or be forced to observe neutrality. In either
attitude, he will he damaged.
All signs point encouragingly to the election
of General Finley, not by a majority reaching
into thousands, but quite sufficient to satisfy
his friends.
Much regret is felt here, and much sympathy
expressed in consequence or the serious illness
of Mrs. C. W. Jones, which has recalled our
distinguished Senator from Indiana, where he
has been doing noble and effective service in
the campaign. There is very little doubt of
his re-election to the United States Senate,
w hen he has honored Florida so greatly 'and
guarded her interests so faithfully, and when
he has earned a reputation seldom acquired in
so brief a period.
A northeaster has been blowing for the last
three days, and the weather is still very
stormy. W. H. B.

The Sheruian-Hancoek Correspond
enee.
General Sherman’s letters to General
Hancock in 1876 7, which have at length
been given to the public, throw but lit
tle light upon the shadowy side of the
great fraud. They are very non com
mittal on the great points then at issue.
If he was a party to the concentration of
Federal troops at Washington for the
purpose of overawing the Democratic
House and inaugurating the defeated
Presidential candidate at any cost, he did
not reveal the fact to General Hancock.
It is, perhaps, a fair inference from his
letters that he was not one of the con
spirators who contemplated a military
coup d'etat in case of a failure to other
wise achieve their purpose. But his
near relationship to one of the leading
conspirators, and the fact that troops
were concentrated at Washington, com
bine to prevent a clear acquittal. Gen
eral Hancock appears again to advantage
in the correspondence. His clear headed
judgment prevented a most absurd
garrisoning of an Indiana city, which
might have precipitated popular disor
ders. as the popular temper was then In
righteously Irritated condition. On
the electoral commission device he was
as clear and far-sighted as in all other
matters. He believed that it gave Hayes
“chances he did not have before,” an
opinion which was shared by many
Democrats at that time. And
now, if General Hancock has wnt

The converted Hindoo, the Rev. Ba
boo Ram Chandra Bose, who has been
addressing camp meeting audiences in
Maryland, explains how difficult it is to
argue with his countrymen on religion.
They say a man must be a god to prove
there is a God; that time spent in prayer
is lost time. They will agree that men
should be good citizens, and that they
should do all the good they can, but that
all. This is an improvement on
Buddhism, which was established five
hundred years before Christ The
Buddhists say that as there is no sin, no
sacrifice was necessary. Ancient Budd
hists led a virtuous life, but only to re
lease them from some transmigratory,
anterior sin, Christian morality is un
selfish; Buddhism is intensely selfish,
and believes in self-deliverance. They
believe in the existence of evil, but hope
to obtain delay from punishment by go
ing about doing good, and that that is
all that is necessary; and yet. with all
this, there are men who dare stand up
and compare Budda with Jesus Christ.
The converted Hindoo states that Christi
anity is spreading in India. Thirty years
ago Jesus of Galilee was openly abused;
now, even in the newspapers, lie is ac
knowledged as almost divine. There is
scarcely a man in India who would
abuse Him now. They even now be
lieve Him to be the greatest of all
prophets—above Plato or Confucius.
