TAPPING THE WIRES'.
The Dutch have captured Holland. Latest
returns from the Vermont election show
a Republican majority o' 20,576. The next
Legislature will stand 102 Radicals, 15
Democrats and 1 Greenbacker.
At the joint discussion between the Gov
ernor and Mr. Norwood in Columbus last
night, the same old charges and a few new
ones were made against Governor Colquttt’6
administration. The Governor triumphant
ly refuted all attacks upon him, and gained
many voters. It is thought that Muscogee
county will now indorse in October the
action of the State Democratic Convention.
The New York stock market opened yes
terday with a slight falling off. This was
followed by a reaction, which in turn was
followed by a firmer feeling,which continued
to the close. The total sales for the day
were 260,000 shares.
Reports from the tobacco crop in the sec
tion of Virginia contiguous to Petersburg
are to the effect that the crop has been
greatly injured by worms and heavy rains,
and will be the smallest known for years.
A special from Melissa, New Mexico, to
the Galveston News, states that Victoria’s
baud of Indians is causing great trouble on
the Rio Grande. On the 6th they robbed
the mail coach, thirteen miles east of Fort
Cummings, scattered the mall, and killed
three men. They also attacked a company
of United States calvary, and killed one
soldier and wounded several. Savages from
the Mascaloro Apaches reservation are also
causing considerable trouble.
The exploration of the Soaham mine is
still progressing. Sixty-six men have been
rescued, but there is scarcely any hope
that any of the rest will be saved. One hun
dred and eighty horses in the mine have
also perished.
The news of the loss of the Vera Cruz was
suppressed in Havana for fear of creating
too great an .excitement. The paper La
Correspondence mentioned it, and was fined
*500.
Jame3 Thomas De Jarnette, who recently
shot his sister in Danville, Va., has been
found guilty of murder in the first degree,
with a recommendation to mercy.
A fire broke out in the Manhattan Market,
New York, yesterday, and before It was ex
tinguished the eastern half of the market
was in ruins. The total loss Is estimated at
*1,500,000. The fire was undoubtedly of in
cendiary origin.
The severest gale known since 1S54 is
prevailing at Long Branch. The damage
along the shore is great. Bath houses have
been washed away, and the guests at the
hotels have been forced to leave. The coast
is strewn with wrecked stuff. The tide at
Ocean Grove is the highest known for years.
At 8 o’clock last evening the storm was in
creasing in violence, and the wind was blow
ing at the rate of sixty miles per hour.
Hon. A. Pratt Adams and Hon. Spencer
R. Atkinson met In joint discussion at
Dupont yesterday. The first gentleman
advocated Mr. Norwood's election, and the
latter that of Governor Colquitt. The
audience from the first was with Mr. At
kinson, and cheer after cheer was given
for the hero of Olustee. Clinch county will
go overwhelmingly for Colquitt.
R. T. Smith, who was shot on Wednesday
at Salt Lake by Dr. Snedeker. is dead. He
made no statement in regard to the real
cause of the double tragedy, which will
probably always remain a mystery.
A Berlin dispatch announces that a semi
official statement reasserts that in no case
has the Imperial Bank of Germany declined
to pay gold for its notes or checks.
A new process for the preservation of
forage crops in their green state is being
tested at Suffield, Connecticut. Into a
cutter, which goes by steam, are run
half a dozen cornstalks at a time, which
are cut into very small pieces. After
ward they fall into a slide, which takes
them to a vault fourteen by twenty-six
feet and ten deep, which has thick con
crete walls, and is capable of holding
cightv-five tons of this feed. When the
vault is filled and closely packed down,
thirty tons of stone is placed on top. It
is claimed that the fodder will keep
green and retain its sweetness as long as
it is kept covered, thus making it one of
the best as well as the cheapest kinds of
feeds obtainable for cattle the year round.
It is not intended, however, that this
feed shall be sold, and indeed it could
not be, a? after twenty-four hours’ ex
posure, fermentation would set in, which,
of course, would ruin it. It can be taken
out only a little at a time as it is needed
for use.
As soon as Garfield’s Credit Mobilier
and De Golyer records were published
by the Democratic papers, Henry Ward
Beecher hastened to assert that the
Presidential contest was not between
men, but between parties. He had not
the independence of expression which he
advocated in 187J—the year of the Credit
Mobilier exposure—as follows: “No
considerations of personal friendship and
no fear of inflicting pain should deter us
from rebuking those who, forgetful alike
of their oaths and their honor, use the
power conferred upon them by the suf
frages of the people to fill their own
pockets, and, when detected, seek to de
fend themselves by prevarication and
falsehood.”
The Philadelphia Pres* severely criti
cises Senator Bayard’s deputy marshals
bilL The points to which it most strenu
ously objects originated with General
James A. Garfield. M. G, and were ad
vocated by him in a speech in which he
candidly conceded that the Democratic
opposition to the election laws was well
founded. The Press represents Mr. Bay
ard as the author of the measure, and
remarks that some Republicans, among
whom was Gen. Garfield, were willing
to yield the contested points. The
Washington Post declares that this is
untruthful; and that Gen. Garfield pro
posed the bill some weeks before Mr.
Jjayard offered it.
Governor Colquitt's Treatment In
Macon.
When on Tuesday last we published
in our special telegram from Macon the
simple announcement that in the joint
discussion which had taken place there
the evening previous Governor Colquitt
had been “interrupted,” but bad per
sisted in his address until he had finished
it, and that “Mr. Norwood made no
capital by the interruption,’’ we had no
idea to what an outrageous extent that
“interruption” had been carried. We
publish elsewhere this morning an article
taken from the Macon Telegraph which
places the opponents of the Governor,
guilty ot this outrage upon him, in &
most unenviable light. For two hours,
says that paper, the Governor of the
State of Georgia, and the guest of the
city of Macon, was jeered at, hissed at,
groaued at and insulted in the grossest
manner. To such an extent was this
carried that Hon. A. O. Bacon,
himself a Norwood man, called
upon the crowd to remember the
Governor’s high official position, and
to behave themselves in accordance with
the demands of common politeness and
hospitality. It was all in vain, however.
The very moment that the Governor be
gan to show up the weak points of Mr.
Norwood's “war and Senate record,’’ that
moment hi9 voice was drowned with in
sults. No wonder that the Telegraph
characterizes the affair as “the most
disgraceful scene ever witnessed in that
city.”
Such conduct as this speaks for itself,
and words cannot be found sufficiently
string for its condemnation. It was
worse than disgraceful. It was infa
mous. Nevertheless, as there is no evil
which cannot be made productive of
some good, so this outrageous conduct
of the opponents of Governor Colquitt
jn Macon may well serve to open the
eyes of the Democratic masses in Geor
gia to one or two very interesting facts.
In the first place it is worthy of re
mark that throughout the entire cam
paign, so far, all such demonstrations as
the above have been made only by the
opposition to Governor Colquitt. Gen.
Gordon, while speaking in defense of
the administration of the Governor of his
State in Columbus,was greeted by hisses,
notwithstanding the great services he ha^
rendered Georgia both in the field and in
the halls of Congress, and now again in
Macon the Governor of the State him
self, while speaking in his own defense,
is jeered at and insulted. In no single
instance have the supporters of the
ticket, indorsed by the Democratic Con
vention of the State, yet received a single
indignity, if we may except the report
that at Covington some one in the crowd
called out for “Colquitt” while Mr. Nor
wood was speaking. This fact alone must
have its effect upon the thinking classes
of the citizens of the State, and while
many good men are, for reasons satis
factory to themselves, supporting, and
will vote for Mr. Norwood, suen con
duct as that at Macon and Columbus
will drive off many more votes from
him. Our correspondent very truly-
said that the “interruption” in Macon
would do Mr. Norwood no good.
Again, it should be borne in mind that,
according to the article in the Telegraph,
the greatest insults were offered Gov
ernor Colquitt whenever he began to
dilate upon the “record” of his oppo
nent The only conclusion to be drawn
from this is that Mr. Norwood’s friends
were afraid of the effect of the Govern
or’s words on this point, and they deter
mined that he should not be heard. It
is only necessary to say that a cause
which cannot stand ventilation is in
deed weak and cannot succeed
Governor Colquitt’s “record” has been
discussed unfavorably in the independent
papers of the State for the past three
years, and since this campaign began re
lentless warfare has been made on him,
until every man in Georgia has become
familiar with the unsubstantiated charges
against him. Yet he not only has sur
vived it all, but the more the “charges”
are uttered, the less credence is given to
them, and the stronger he grows with
the people of the State.
These are the facts developed by the
Macon outrage, upon which the Demo
cratic masses of Georgia can reflect at
their leisure. The more they reflect the
more they will be convinced of the hope
lessness of the efforts of the opposition
to defeat their will, and the larger will be
the majority with which Governor Col
quitt will be returned to the Executive
office the State on the 6th of October
next.
The elections, so far, have resulted as
was well known they would. They are
not indications of what wiil be the issue
of the Presidential canvass, though
they may affect the complexion of the
next House of Representatives. In State
elections local interests arc chiefly in
view, and men vote either the one ticket
or the other, as they may be affected by
the result. The influence of national
parties controls to a great degree the
divisions of State and municipal
politics, and beneficially too. But
they are not as binding upon local
political questions as in national issues.
The benefits of the influence of national
parties in the politics of the States are
national conservatism, union and unity.
Two great national parties give strength
to the government, as was the case be
fore the year I860, when the National
Democracy was disbanded and returned
back to the States as factions. The
“consequence of that manoeuvre,” as
old Weller said of Sam, is too disas
trously and well known as a part of our
history to need recapitulation here.
Warned by experience, statesmen are
seeking to again organize the
two great parties, the National
Democratic and the National Re
publican. The effort has made slow
progress, having been hampered by the
factious ambitions of prominent indi
viduals of both parties. The Democrats
needed union and unity of purpose, and
the Republicans were checked by the
Radicals, who, drunk with military tii
umph, waved the “bloody shirt” in poli
tics with ferocity. But in the success of
General Hancock we may hope that the
factions of Democrats may be blend
ed harmoniously into one national party,
organized and disciplined, which will
compel corresponding action by the Na
tional Republicans, and bury in a com
mon grave the bitter memories and hos
tilities of the past.
One good result has already followed
the foolish attack of the Radicals on the
Southern census returns. It has drawn
attention very sharply to the numerous
causes "of the limited number of births in
the North, as compared with the South.
The independent press is speaking out in
plain terms, and the pulpit is hurling its
heaviest thunder at the fearfully preva
lent crime of ante-natal murder.
Gen. B. F. Butler has been Treasurer
of the National Soldiers’ Home Fund for
fifteen years without any complaint
Two weeks ago he “went back” on the
Radical party, and he is already ac
cused of having embezzled the funds of
the association for several years, and is
to be deposed in October.
The Chatham County Democracy.
A full report of the action of the
Democratic mass meeting, held at the
Theatre last night, will be found in our
local columns this morning. It will be
seen that delegates favorable to the
nomination of Hon. A. Pratt Adams for
Congress were selected, that Hon. Rufus
E. Lester was the unanimous choice of
the meeting for State Senator, and that
Messrs. William S. Basinger, George
N. Nichols and D. C. Bacon were se
lected to represent the county in the
Lower House of the Legislature.
These three gentlemen are so well and
favorably known in the community that
their selection needs no extended com
ments at our hands. They are worthy
representatives of the legal, mechanical
and mercantile interests of our City, and
will reflect credit upon their constituents.
They will, no doubt, carefully and ably
guard tbe welfare of the county.
It will also be seen from the report of
the proceedings that a resolution recom
mending our distinguished fellow-
citizen, Hon. A. R. Lawton, for the
United States Senatcrship, to fill the un
expired term occasioned by the resigna
tion of General John B. Gordon, was
adopted unanimously, and with an en
thusiasm which must be exceedingly
gratifying to that gentleman. In re
sponse to this resolution he thanked the
meeting heartily for the compliment
conferred upon him, and gracefully ac
cepted the honor tendered him. He will
doubtless prove a formidable candidate
before the Legislrture for that high ]>osi-
tion.
In view of the many conflicting opin
ions on various subjects of public inter
est which prevail at this time, it was
feared that some disorder would arise to
disturb the meeting. It is a subject of
congratulation that nothing of the sort
occurred, and that the action of the as
semblage was characterized by a har
mony which was truly commendable.
Public Men.
The positions of public men before the
political world are trying at the best,
because of tbe scandalous licentiousness
of an unprincipled, unbridled press. But
they are doubly severe in their trial s, if
personal and political records are not as
free from immoral or official taint as
they should be. Personal abuse has
taken the place largely of political argu
ment, and fearful attacks upon charac
ter are now indulged in that
would, if justly dealt with in courts of
law, send their authors to the jails. This
is all bad, very bad, and briags our demo
cratic liberty frequently under the cen
sorship of European critics, whose laws,
rigidly enforced, punish without fail such
villainous vulgarities when sued upon
for damages or criminally prosecuted.
But as there is no evil without an attend
ant good, we often find in the base
indulgence of personal abuse the
keynote of political opposition. Be
sides, it has its influence in restraining
public men from gross conduct in their
private and official relations. And again
it marks unmistakably the mastiff who
is to be feared, and the whiffle dog that
barks innocuously at the traveler’s heels.
One fact experience has demonstrated—
that personal abuse, unless based upon
substantial charges, i3 ineffective, and
comes home to roost. It does little, if
any, damage to the abused, but recoils-
in public opinion, upon the accuser, put
ting him on trial as a malicious villifier.
The robbery of Lord Eldon of *100,000
worth of plate and jewelry calls atten
tion to the fact that not all of the clever
burglars have immigrated into this coun
try. It is estimated that fifty thefts of
this sort have been accomplished with
perfect impunity within ten years, the
aggregate of plunder exceeding *2,500,-
000. The most conspicuous robberies
besides this late one were those of Lady
Ellesmere and Lady Dudley. The usual
plan is for the burglars, while the family
is at dinner, to get into a lady’s room by
a ladder. The diamonds arc taken out
of their settings, which are at once
melted, and then the jewels can readily
be sold to the trade. A well known
London firm is said to have suddenly
emerged from obscurity within twelve
months after Lady Ellesmere’s *150,000
worth of diamonds were taken, and it is
conjectured that many of these stolen
jewels are now worn by our fashionable
ladies at Newport and Saratoga. Lord
Eldon could well stand the loss. He has
just built a church costing *200,000, and
is the heir to the two largest fortunes
ever made by lawyers in England, those
of Lord Chancellor Eldon and Lord
Stowell, the great Admiralty Judge dur
ing the wars against Napoleon.
By a strange irony of fortune, the
shares of the failed City of Glasgow
Bank have become a valuable property.
City of Glasgow Ban a shares have be
come scarce because very few share
holders have survived the blood-letting
process of the liquidation. Every
holder who has been “sold up,” or has
made a compromise with the officers ap
pointed by law for the winding-up of the
bank, loses his right as a shareholder.
The remnant of solvent holders being
thus enormously reduced, the value of
the shares which remain to represent the
claim upon the bank’s assets becomes
proportionately enhanced. With what
feelings must a notification of this sort
be read by the hundreds of ruined share
holders, and by the thousands of now
impoverished persons dependent upon
them. To think, too, that the directors
of this so-called bank, just released from
prison or still expiating their offense
there, should have the questionable satis
faction of knowing that they have
actually raised the market value of each
share to £3,000.
The silver dollar has been compelled
to make its way against the combined
influence of the Treasury and the na
tional banks, but it gains in popularity
every day, and is destined to achieve
entire success. Meantime, the anti-silver
statesmen of England and Germany are
being pushed to the wall. They are met
with unanswerable arguments in favor
of bi metallism, and will be compelled to
give way. The time is not far distant
when silver will be fully restored to its
old and rightful place in the world’s
money. The great crime of capital
against labor will fail.
Colonel John W. Forney, although a
new convert of the Democratic party
and, therefore, very enthusiastic and,
perhaps, over confident, is nevertheless a
very clear-headed political prophet He
says that General Hancock is sure of all
the Southern States, and also New York,
New Jersey and Connecticut. These
States controljone hundred and eighty-
eight electoral votes, or three more than
are necessary to elect a President. CoL
Forney also says that Indiana, Ohio,
Pennsylvania, California and Oregon are
more than probable for Hancock.

Governor Colquitt and His Oppo
nents.
The personal war waged by certain
individuals upon Governor Colquitt il
lustrates tbe futility of public men deny
ing personal charges brought against
them, whether they be with or without
foundation. For if true, they will bring
condemnation, and if not true, slander
unblushingly da capos the tune, however
often the lalsehood may be denied.
Governor Colquitt's position before
the people of Georgia to-day recalls an
anecdote Mr. Clay used to teii of himself
with great gusto. He said that after
his accepting the office of Secretary of
State under Mr. John Quincy Adams,
whom he had run against for the Presi
dency in 1824, he was charged with
having sold out his interest to Mr.
Adams for the Secretaryship of the State
Department. Personal abuse was loud
and wide. Riding in a stage coach on
his way to Kentucky, unknown to the
other passengers, he had the
pleasure of hearing himself abused. He
stood it (as General Gordon did in
like case on the rail car the other night)
until patience ceased to be a virtue, and
he indignantly replied to the most vehe
ment of his accusers, “My dear sir, has
not Mr. Clay repeatedly and emphatical
ly denied that foul slander?” “Jest so,”
was the man’s answer, “but you don’t
think he is such a darned fool as to own
up to it, do ye?” Mr. Clay said, that
after that, he never denied anything.
Let Governor Colquitt take this anecdote
to himself, and quietly attend to his Ex
ecutive duties, as nothing was ever gained
by a “you did,” and “I didn’t,” contro
versy. The National Democracy will
put a stop to it on the 14th of October
next.
Capt. A. M. Rodgers.
Editor Morning News: The Democratic
Convention to nominate a suitable per
son to represent this district in Congress
will soon meet in your city, and the sug
gestion of a worthy gentleman’s name
in connection with the position may not
be out of place.
A number of persons have been men
tioned as possible candidates before the
convention. I do not propose to harshly
criticise any of these gentlemen, but
simply to add to the list tbe name of
Captain A. M. Rodgers, of Burke, who
would worthily fill the honorable posi
tion of Representative of this district.
He is welL known throughout the district
as a lawyer of ability, and four years
ago he did valuable service for the party
as a Presidential elector.
The writer does not know that this
gentleman is a candidate for the nomina
tion, but wculd it not be well for the
convention to make a selection without
regard to the candidacy of any person?
W IRKGltASS.
A citizen of Washington, D. C., has
evidently the strongest faith in the over
whelming success of the Democrats in
the coming election, as the following
startling propositions will show. He
says:
To the EdiU/r of the Post: To bet on a
certainty ma}’ not be the height of honor,
but it certainly is “a sure thing.” Now,
I will give some of our Republican
brethren an opportunity of betting on
what they consider a certainty:
First. 'I will bet *1.000 against *.500
that the Democrats will carry Indiana.
Second. I will bet the same amount
against *.500 that the Democrats will
carry New York by at least 30,000 ma
jority.
Third. I will bet *2,000 that Han
cock’s majority—in the popular vote—
over Garfield’s will be a quarter of a
million.
Fourth. I will bet *500 that the fol
lowing distinguished gentlemen will be
either in General Hancock’s Cabinet or
represent our country abroad:
Hon. Jere S. Black, Pennsylvania;
Hon. Allen G. Thurman, Ohio; Hon.
William It. Morrison, Illinois; Hon.
William A. Wallace, Pennsylvania; ex
Governor Hubbard, Texas; Hon.
Samuel J. Tilden, New York; Hon.
William Pinkney Whyte, Maryland;
Professor Richard Randolph McMahon,
West Virginia; Hon. R. T. Merrick,
Washington, I). C. # * * *
If our dissenting Republican brothers
wish, any of them, to take my offer,
Riggs’ bank will do to deposit their bets.
Any communications will reach me by
being addressed there, or to F. M., care
of the Post. F. J. W.
Washington, September 1.
This is a golden opportunity for some
of Garfield’s enthusiastic supporters, a
number of whom have been publicly an
nouncing their willingness to bet on the
alleged certainty of a general Republi
can success.
Census Figures.—Pending on official
promulgation of the population of the
country according to the census of 1880,
which will not be made for some time
yet, we have a table, partly official,
which is near enough to exact accuracy
to answer all practical purposes. These
figures do not include Alaska, New Mex
ico, Wyoming and Washington Territo
ries. Without these the aggregate pop
ulation of the States and Territories is
49,865,142, and when that rf the unre
turned Territories is added we will have
a total of just about 50,000,000. This is
an increase for the decade of 11,700,000,
or a little more than 30 per cent., against
23 per cent, for the preceding decennial
period. The population of Maryland is
935,000, an increase of 156,000; that of
the District of Columbia 174,050, an in
crease of 42,350; that of Virginia 1,600,-
000, an increase of 3,374,837; that of
West Virginia 708,000, an increase of
265,986; that of North Carolina 1,400,
000, an increase of 328,639 ; that of Dela
ware 145,009, an increase of 18,994, and
that of Pennsylvania 4,226,099, an in
crease of 704,138.
Said Mr. Hayes, in his letter to Gen.
Arthur on the 31st of January, 1879:
“With a deep sense of my obligations
under the Constitution, I regard it as my
plain duty to suspend you in order that
the office may be honestly administered.”
The Chicago convention put into its plat
form a plank indorsing Mr. Hayes’ puny
efforts to reform the civil service. The
most conspicuous feature of that attempt
ed reform was the removal of Gen. Ar
thur from the New York custom house.
It follows, therefore, inevitably that the
platform indorses not only the removal
of Gen. Arthur, but the reason assigned
therefor—the impossibility of having the
office “honestly administered” under
him. We thus, says the Washington Post,
have the phenomenal circumstance of a
candidate for the second highest office in
the republic placed on a platform which,
in tbe most direct and emphatic manner,
brands him as Incapable and a promoter
of dishonesty.
Senator Wallace says that not less than
4,000 Republican soldiers of Pennsylva
nia have written to Gen. Hancock that
they intend to vote for him for Presi
dent This looks as if there might be
something in the claim that Hancock
will carry Pennsylvania.
It is estimated that Republican Phila
delphia has twenty thousand fraudulent
names on her list of voters. Of course
such a condition of things would be per
fectly shocking in the South, but up
North it is only a little irregularity.

Immigration to the South.
Baltimore 5un.
The significance of the visit of Mr.
Thomas Hughes, and his connection with
an immigration company proposing to
occupy, develop and improve Southern
lands, is not lost upon our contempo
raries north of Mason and Dixon’s line.
They see the possibilities of Mr. Hughes’
plan and its indefinite extension. Mr.
Hughes simply took the charter granted
by the Massachusetts General Court to a
Boston company in the dark days of
1876-77, that company proposing to buy
cheap land in the South and settle on it
Massachusetts families out of work.
The plan was only a paper one, but Mr.
Hughes’ company bought with the
charter the land which the Bos
ton company only looked at, and
is going to settle it, not with destitute
operatives and their families, but with
English farmers and their families
who have money enough to improve
their holdings and bring them into
prompt cultivation. These lands, in
Morgan, Scott, Overton and Fentress
counties, Tennessee, are said to be free
from malaria and very inviting to new
settlers. A fair chance for increasing
the population and labor resources of the
South is afforded by English immigrants.
These are steady and thoroughgoing,and
they do not like the severe climate of the
Northwest. If they once begin going
into the South and buying cheap im
proved lands, they will probably create
a current which cannot again be arrested.
It is already the fact that, in spite of the
comparatively large English emigration
to Canada and Australia, the Eng
lish emigrants to the United States
now number as many as those
from Ireland. In 1872, 187-5 and the
four years 1816-79, England sent more
men to this country than Ireland. Last
year (1879) there were 24,000 English
immigrants to 20,000 Irish, and the
greater part of these English are of the
agricultural classes. But the immigra
tion to the South is not exclusively from
the British isles. There is a consider
able flow of Italians, from Piedmont to
Sicily, into Southern ports, such as Gal
veston and New Orleans, Pensacola and
Mobile and Savannah. These people
already control the fruit trade and the
local fisheries, besides many another
small trade, and are notably thrifty and
industrious. In Georgia, where there is
a State Commissioner of Immigration,
who is full of zeal, but very inadequately
supplied with funds, a very promising
influx of laborious Germans has begun.
The Commissioner recently took a
colony of one hundred of these to
Polk county to work in iron works there,
and he has enlisted the sympathy and
co operation of some leading Germans in
his objects. He has printed and sent to
Scotland and England some thousands of
copies of a book and circulars on the
capabilities of Georgia to support and
encourage immigration, and this book is
to be largely distributed throughout
Germany as soon as it can be translated.
As soon as five hundred German families
will contract to come in a body, the
Commissioner will send an agent to
Germany and bring them in direct, by
Savannah or Charleston—the cheapest
route, and one where they will not be
interfered with by immigrant agents and
turned to other directions. Everything
tends to encourage the belief that these
small but significant openings are the
beginning of a great and permanent
movement which will continually grow
as the advantages which the South offers
to a new and enterprising population are
widely enough known. The South has
free labor, with all the range of indus
trial potentialities which the word calls
up. It has very great resources for
manufacturing, mining and forestry,
and the fact that these are “un
developed” means that they are fresh
and not half worked out like tbe
same resources in the North. The soil
is rich and capable of the most widely
diversified scale of products. These are
the posse-sions which the South must
bring tbe old world to a knowledge of
in order to encourage immigration. But,
as a contemporary very truly says: “A
demonstration is needed not only of the
material resources of the land, but of the
spirit and integrity of tbe people. Let
them put their shoulders to all the
wheels i f industiy, frown into silence
every whisper of repudiation, and show
an example of self reliance and self
help.”
The Registration Law and the County
Commissioners.
Editor Morning News: In your issue of
to-day,under the head of “The Registra
tion Law,” you state that you under
stand that the Board of County Commis
sioners have decided that parties who
have failed to register will not be de
barred tbe privilege of voting for Gover
nor. provided if when challenged they
can make oath “that they have paid their
taxes as required bylaw.” Such. Mr.
Editor, is the opinion of a majority
of the gentlemen composing the
Board of County Commissioners; but as
a board, they have no right to take ac
tion in the matter, nor did they take
action. This question must be left,
where the law places it, with the man
agers of the election, and they must be
governed by the law.
The law requiring the registration of
the voters of Chatham county, says dis
tinctly, that to vote at the elections for
Senator and Representatives of the State
Legislature and county officers, the voter
shall register. See section XLI. of the
act creating Commissioners for Chatham
county, laws of 1873, page 235. Nothing
is said in the act about registering to vote
for Governor.
To those who think that paragraph 2
of article II. of the new constitution re
peals the local act for Chatham county, I
would respectfully call attention to para
graph 4 of article XII. of said constitu
tion.
There is a proper tribunal which has
the power to declare laws, both public
and local, unconstitutional, and deter
mine whether the same have l>een re
pealed or not, and the County Commis
sioners have not assumed to be that tri
bunal. Very respectfully,
W. W. Paine.
Savannah, September 9, 1880.
Ben Butler seems to be desirous of get
ting some new planks into the Demo
cratic platform. He has evidently a
stock of statesmanship on hand of a very
large and handsome kind, for he said in
a speech the other day:
United North and South, and no coun
try on the earth could stand against us
for an hour. I want too see free princi
ples prevail as far north as the aurora
borealis lights up our flag and south to
the Isthmus of Darien. This needn’t be
done by war. Nobody would ever fight
us.
That declaration reminds the New
York Herald of the speech of a Califor
nia “road agent” stopping a stage which
contained only two women. “Hand
over your watches and purses, ladies,”
said this polite highwayman; “there’s
five of us here all armed and no help near
for you.”
The lower House of the Forty-seventh
Congress will have two hundred and

three nominations made, sixty-two take
the places of present Representatives,

HOD MACON TREATED COLQUITT
lie is Jeered, luaulted and Hooted
at, bat He “Holds tl»e Fort.’’
The Macon Telegraph contains the fol
lowing account of the treatment of Gov.
Colquitt in the joint discussion at Macon.
We submit it without comment:
“This confusion continued for several
miuutes, when Capt. A. O. Bacon ad
vanced again and introduced Governor
A. H. Colquitt.
“Thereupon occurred one of the most
remarkable scenes ever witnessed prob
ably in the State. For two hours the
man stood before the people, speaking
amid a storm of cheers, hisses, groans,
cries, cat calls, jeers and insults. Elo
quence was powerless before it. and the
presence of the most substantial and dig*
nifled citizens of Macon had little effect.
A dozen times the speaker was forced to
stop entirely, and several times Colonel
Whittle, Captain A. C. Bacon and others
sought to calm tbe people in vain. It
was only when Colquitt’s time dwindled
down to thirty minutes that he secured
a comparatively quiet interval.
“It was the most disgraceful scene
ever witnessed in this city, but let it be
said to the cred t of the greater portion
of the crowd, that when called upon to
indorse or condemn the confusion, there
arose a shout of condemnation that for a
little while awed the remainder into
silence. The speaker struggled through
it all, reminding a looker on of a strong
swimmer battling with the waves. He
kept his temper nearly all the way
through, letting his indignation only
find voice when it seemed as though
human courage and patience could en
dure no longer. Whatever else his ene
mies may say of him, there were few
who last night did not admire the un
conquerable spirit that would not be
overwhelmed.
“No intelligent report of the speech,
as delivered, can l>e given. It was broken
up into snatches, through which were
mixed the questions of the crowd and
his answers. When announced, he said:
‘Hear me for my cause, and be silent
that you may hear. I am not afraid to
appear before tbe people of Georgia. 1
am willing to appeal to that latent justice
which is in the bosom of every man,
whether or not he be controlled by pre
judice and passion. All I ask of you is
to be judged by such judgment as you
would ask for yourselves.” [Great con
fusion.]
The speech was closed as follows:
“At this time the crowd kept up a
pretty lively fuss, but when the speaker
ended his description of how Norwood
was nominated, the excitement and con
fusion became overwhelming. Gentle
men advised tbe Governor to cease, but
he refused. No one could be heard for
a long time. Finally Captain Bacon ad
dressed them, and in a sharp speech
shamed the crowd into silence.
“When the speaker could be heard he
attacked Norwood’s war and Senate rec
ord, but the confusion became so great
that even the reporters within a few feet
of him could not hear his words. Some
one said something about Joe BrowD,
and tbe Governor singled him out and
calmly said: ‘I will give you Joe Brown
if you wish it.' He then gave them in
clear language his reasons for the
appointment. Brown was a Demo
crat: had voted the ticket for twelve
years; had acted with the Democratic
commission in Florida; he had voted for
Grant; the Democrats had voted for
Greeley; h“ had favored'thc reconstruc
tion measures; the Democrats had after
wards indorsed them; he had not always
been a Democrat, but there were Whigs
iu the crowd around him.
“This latter part burst from his lips in
a torrent of writhing sarcasm, and,
wearied, the Governor took his seat.”
Garfield’s Hypocrisy.
-Veto York Star.
In 1873 almost all the fairer and more
influential Republican journals of the
country agreed in denouncing James A.
Garfield for hypocrisy, falsehood and
evasion. The denunciation was based
on his Credit Mobilier record. Let us
see if there are not other proofs of the
correctness of that estimate, particularly
as regards his hypocrisy.
Mr Garfield has long figured as, and
still professes to be, an ardent advocate
of civil service reform. He finds one
of the chief claims of the Republican
party on the confidence of the people to
be that it has zealously sought to purify
the public service.
From 1864 until 1876 George F. Sew
ard was United States Consul at Shang
hai. At the third session of the Forty-
fifth Congress ariicles of impeachment,
accusing him of illegal acts, were pre
pared by the “Committee on Expendi
tures in the State Department.” The
charges were founded on indisputable
evidence in possession of the committee.
His peculations, fraudulent conversions
of public moneys, exaction of unlawful
fees, etc., are specifically set forth in the
articles.
He was summoned by the committee
to come home and bring his books with
him, but it was not the purpose of the
Republican leaders to suffer his iniqui
tous practices to be investigated, and ac
cordingly they began a series of ma
noeuvres to defeat the objects of the in
quiry.
Among those distinguished for their
zeal in seeking to prevent the contem
plated exposure was the present Repub
lican candidate for President.
In February, 1879, Mr. Springer, of
the committee, made his first movement
to get the matter before the House of
Representatives, by endeavoring to have
Seward brought to the bai for contumacy
in refusing to produce his books. Garfield,
at that time the leader of the Republi
cans, promptly met the effort by inter
posing a parliamentary quibble. As
only one week of the sesion remained,
prompt action was necessary. But no
action was what Mr. Garfield and his
fellow filibusters were determined on.
Two days later Mr. Springer renewed
his attempt, and again Garfield came to
the front with his budget of technicali
ties, intended to provoke debate and con
sume time. On the 26th and 27th of
February the scene was repeated, and
when Representative Bundy’s resolution
declaring that Seward was excused from
producing the consular books was put to
vote, Mr .“Garfield was one of the 119 re
corded in the affirmative.
At every subsequent stage of the pro
ceedings he is invariably found contest
ing, bv all the parliamentary art and
subterfuge at his command, the commit
tee’s heroic efforts to rid the public ser
vice of a man whose crimes were a re
proach to it and a blot upon the Ameri
can name abroad.
The country is familiar with the re
sult. Garfield triumphed and George F.
Seward still remains United States Min
ister to China—a disgrace to himself, to
his party and to his country.
There is, however, one question the set
tlement of which Mr. Garfield’s tactics
cannot postpone. Is the man who ap
pears upon the records of Congress as
the champion of official rascality and the
friend and protector of official rascals a
fit man to be President of the United
States, even though he does make pro
fession of devotion to the cause of civil
service refoim?

"‘Know,” he said, “I am feint two three

His eyes shown, his cheek was as red as

THRILLING REMINISCENCE.
A Brave Confederate’s Kindness to i
Fallen Federal Soldier.
Adjutant General W. W. Estill, of
Nashville, Tenn., received the following
letter on Sunday:
Lebanon, Mo.. August 25,1880.—Ad
jutant General of Tennessee—Sir: 1 saw
from a St. Louis paper, some weeks
9ince, that a soldier in the Federal army
in 1864 found, by writing to yon, a
friend who saved his life during the war.
It was my misfortune to be fearfully
wounded at Spottsylvania Court House,
Virginia, on that terrible 12th of May,
1864, in a charge against a Tennessee
brigade in the Confederate army. The
Tennessee' brigade occupied what was
known afterwards as the dead angle,
with a strong line of sharpshooters about
seventy-five yards in front and about the
same distance from our line. 1 could
distinctly see the officer in command of
the sharpshooters passing aloDg the line,
sending hia wounded to the rear and re
arranging his line. We were ordered to
charge about 2 p. m. A terrible battle
ensued. The Tennesseeans refused to
be driven from their position, and after
repeated assaults we retired again to our
position. But not so with myself. I was
left wounded about where tbe Confed
erates had their sharpshooters’ line.
The battalion was thrown to the
front under the same officer who had
command before, and it is of him I now
wish to inquire. His line behaved
splendidly under the galling fire that
our brigade poured into them. When
the officer reached me I called to him
“in God’s name to give me some water.”
He dropped to his knees and raised my
head with his left arm and put a can
teen to my mouth. I had hardly finish
ed the draught when a bullet from our
troops passed through my throat and
blood spurted from my mouth in his
canteen and left him untouched. He
laid my head down gently, saying to
himself “Poor fellow, he has fought his
last battle.” I remember nothing else,
after he placed his own blanket under
my head until I found myself in one of
our hospitals. I do not kuow whether
he survived the war. I can say for him
that he was the bravest, the coolest and
the kindest hearted man I ever saw.
The word was passed along our lines
often to shoot the tall officer with the
broad hat.
I heard one of the men call him Harris
or Harrison, and he was a very handsome
man, perfectly straight, with brown
beard, and he wore a very broad hat. I
pray God he has survived, for he saved
my life. If you don’t know him, please
have this letter published in one of your
weekly and daily paf ere, so that it may
reach him or some one who can give me
information of him. Pardon the length
of this letter. I have been thus explicit
that I may recall to the minds the time
of the occurrence mentioned. Hoping I
am not asking too much of you, 1 am

Jumping the Rope.—The jumping
rope is not an objectionable plaything,
but in the hands of girls it i9 apt to be
abused, and, as the capering season will
soon be at hand, parents should be on
their guard, especially to prevent their
little girls from jumping against time, or
trying to see how many jumps they can
make without stopping or balking. Dr.
Hervey, in a paper on tbe subject, pub
lisbed in the Statistical Report of Indi
ana, says that he has known death to en
sue from this practice, a girl of twelve
years, one of his own patients, having
died from heart d : sease and embolism,
caused b}’ jumping five hundred times
without intermission. The heart is not
the ODly organ affected, by any means,
as the abdominal viscera very often suf-
Vr. as well as the hip and knee joints
and the spine.
No official notice has been taken by
the Roman Catholic Church of the
alleged miracles at Knock, Ireland, but
the Rev. Father Haverinans.^a venerable
and wealthy priest of Troy, N. Y., thus
records his belief: “I have visited Knock,
the great shrine for pilgrims. Crowds
pour in from all quarters of the globe.
The miraculous cures which take place
there are surprising. The lame, the blind,
and the sick all seem to be benefited.”

effects of Warner’s Safe Kidney and Liver
