CAPPING THE U IKK>.
An interesting dispatch, specially to the
New York Herald, ia published, giving a de
tailed account of the progress of the Frank
lin search party, under the command of
Lieutenant Frederick Schwalka, U. 3. A.,
who were taken from Depot Island on the
1st of August by Capt. Biker, of the bark
George and Mary, of New Bedford. The
party spent the entire winter in the Arctic
regions, having made the longest sledge
iourney ever made in the unexplored
regions, and were absent from their base of
operations eleven months and four days,
and traveled 2,819 geographical miles.
The winter was exceedingly severe, but
the expedition successfully withstood the
greatest amount of cold ever encountered
by white men in the field. Their researches
establish the fact that the records of Frank
lin’s expedition are lo3t beyond recovery.
The party found the bones of Lieutenant
John Irving, the second officer of the Ter
ror, which were identified by a medal in the
open grave. They burned the bones of all
th2 unfortunates remaining above ground
and erected a monument to the memory of
the fallen heroes.
A number of the leading citizens of Dul
cigno have presented a protest to the Con
eular body, declaring that their fellow citi
zen^ will never consent to be detached from
the Turkish Government, and that they will
repel with force the Montenegrin attempt
to occnpy Dulcigno.
Two Catholic and two Mussulmans of the
Albanian League have gone to Fu6l to urge
the mountaineers to assist in the defense of
Dulcigno.
Riza Pasha has urged the league to sub
mit to the cession of Dulcigno, threatening
in the event of refusal to resort to force,
and to a6k reinforcements from Constanti
nople.
The Council of Ministers of France has
resolved to create an Under Secretaryship
of Foreign Affaire.
It is considered certain that the new
French Cabinet will make no change in the
foreign policy of the government, but will
execute the religious decrees.
There are reports of serious disturbance
at Canton, and the European residents are
threatened and are in a state of alaim. The
rioters attacked the Catholic mission and
the military were called out.
Montenegro has been advised by one of
the powers, in consequence of the lack of
vigor of Riza Pasha to proceed to action
and it is stated that the advance of the
Montenegrins on Dulcigno commenced on
Wednesday last.
Hon. C. P. Thompson has, in a letter, for
mally accepted the Democratic nomination
for Governor of Massachusetts.
Arrangements are being perfected looking
to the union of the Irving Hall and Tam
many, New York city and county, in the
matter of delegates and representation of
the two wings in the State Democratic Con
vention to be held in Saratoga. The outlook
is favorable for perfect harmony and co
operation in the political contests in the
State.
At yesterday’s session of the Irish Catho
lie Benevolent Union, at Wilmington, Dela
ware, an amendment to strike out the word
Irish from the name of the association was
defeated, only two societies voting for the
amendment. An amendment proposing
that the German Catholic Benevolent Union
meet at the same time and place with the
Irish Union was also defeated.
Twelve hundred Basutas attacked Ma-
haleshock on the20th inst.,and five thousand
attacked Mafeteng on the 21 st. They were
ultimately repulsed, but the loss of the
colonial forces Is not known.
A young lad named Ben Westmoreland
was fatally * injured yesterday by being
thrown from his wagon, which he was
driving from his home, in Dinwiddle county,
to Petersburg.
Arrangements are being made for a settle
ment by a compromise of the old city of
Mobile debt. A meeting of the commis
sioners,tax-payers and bondholders was held
yesterday, at which it was resolved that the
commissioners should make a settlement
with the creditors on the basis of taxation
on property within the limits of the late city
of Mobile of one per centum on the value
of said property. The commissioners will
meet the creditors in the city of New York
on the 14th of October.
The recent disastrous land slide in India,
of which mention was made in our
telegraphic columns yesterday, was caused
by an enormous fall of rain, which lasted
forty hours, and in which twenty-five inches
of rain fell. This loosened a great avalanche
of earth from the hills surrounding the
town, which fell upon the Victoria Hotel,
burying it and its inmates.
The Supreme Court of Indiana has over
ruled the-petition for a rehearing in the
case involving the validity of the constitu
tional amendment fixing the time for hold
ing the State elections.
The Kentucky lottery companies affected
by the order of the Assistant Postmaster
General prohibiting the delivery to agents
registered mail matter and money orders
have determined to test the validity of the
order in the courts,and have given notice of
a motion for a restraining order before Judge
Baxter at Knoxville, Tennessee, to-day.
The Post Office Department will join Issue,
and have Instructed the Attorney General
at Knoxville to secure a postponement of
the case until the necessary briefs and
papers can be forwarded.
The Unitarian Conference still continues
its session at Saratoga, and the Pan-Presby
terian Alliance holds its councils at Phila
delphia, both attracting large crowds of In
terested spectators and furnishing much
food for religious thought and reflection.
The sessions are attracting much attention
among the religious sects represented in
these councils.
General Sir Neville Chamberlain, G. C. B ,
will be tendered the po6t of Commander-in-

The labor troubles at Corning, Ohio, are
not ended. The strikers fired upon the
pickets on Wednesday night, and their fire
was returned, but, as far as is known, with
out effect.
The disabled steamship City of Chester
landed her passengers and mail at Queens
town yesterday and proceeded to Liverpool
in tow of a Liverpool tug.

An impartial Witness.
The thousands in the United States
and England who have read those charm
ing books, “Tom Brown at Rugby” and
“Tom Brown at Oxford,” are acquainted
with Mr. Thomas Hughes, member of
Parliament of Great Britain, who is at
present on a visit to this country for the
purpose of selecting suitable locations
for the colonization of proposed immi
grants from the mother country. He
has, very sensibly, turned his attention
southward, and has decided to locate
one colony, known as the “Rugby colo
ny,” on the Cumberland table lands of
Tennessee. On his arrival in
New York every effort was made
by Northern Radicals to prejudice him
against this section, and to divert him
from his intention, and to this end the
old stale, false and malicious Radi
cal slanders regarding the South
were freely poured into bis ears.
He determined to test the truth
of these injurious reports for him
self, however, and the result was
that he soon became thoroughly satis
fied of the falsity of the malignant
stories, as he himself testified in certain
remarks recently made by him at the
Stanton House, Chattanooga, as follows:
“After two years of searching we at
length concluded there was no place we
would so likely succeed, as on the High
lands of Tennessee. At this conclusion
some of my friends in Eneland remon
strated. They said we would find a re
ception that would not be cordial. I was
not deterred by that, for I had heard
these doleful sayings before, and 1 knew
how fallacious they were. I wa3 startled
somewhat on our arrival at sometbing.of
the same kind from our friends in North
ern towns. We spent two or three days
in the Northern towns. We met friends,
and had talks, and I confess that the
views that were expressed were startling,
but not alarming. They told me that
there was a great probability of an event
taking place in politics that would be the
occasion of great trouble all over the
country, and that all that had been done
since the great war was to be reversed,
and I confess that I was somewhat de
pressed by these interviews and felt that
my views were a little too rose-colored
After further consideration, 1 felt that
these fears were false, and no sooner did
I reach the northern part of your State
than I felt that these fears were without
foundation, and these feelings which
were strengthened at Rugby, were con
verted into truths when I reached
Chattanooga. The short time I have
been here convinced me on these points.
I have seen the men who stood front to
front in the great struggle are now work
ing side by side and talk freely and
frankly on the future of their city.”
Here we have undoubted testimony
from an impartial and honest witness
on two points. First, that the political
enemies of the South are filled with
rancorous hate towards our section, and
stop at nothing to work us injury ; and,
second, that the stories which these
malignants concoct, and industriously
circulate to our detriment, are base,
foundationless falsehoods, the pure
creations of malicious minds.
But truth is mighty and cannot long
be prevailed against by falsehood, and
this experience and evidence of Mr.
Hughes will go far towards doing away
with the evil effect of the f ibrications of
our enemies. Many fair-minded North
ern people, who have all these years been
deceived by Radical misrepresentations of
the South,such as those so freely indulged
in by Conkling in his recent New York
speech, are having their eyes opened to
the truth, and in consequence the Ridi
c >1 party is tottering to its fall. This
testimony of Mr. Hughes will doubtless
have the same effect abroad, and we
may reasonably count on his influ
ence being successfully exerted to
turn hitherward the tide of an hon
est, industrious immigration which
will tend to develop our resources and
utilize the vast natural advantages which
we possess over any other section of this
great land. The indications, therefore,
arc that soon the South will be both
materially and politically prosperous,
notwithstanding the efforts of Conkling
and his fellows to keep us humiliated,
degraded and in poverty. The rapid re
cuperation of this entire section, in the
face of obstacles which seemed at the
time"almost insurmountable, is proof of
its wonderful inherent vitality—a vitali
ty which will assert itself in spite of all
that our malignant enemies can say or
do against us.
A special lrom Maine to the St. Louis
Globe-Democrat, a Republican paper,
dated on the 14th inst., the day after the
Maine election, is as follows:
“The result of the election in this
State yesterday proved a great surprise
to the Republicans. The majority at
midnight, if indeed there be any, pre
sents a sorry figure compared with the
grand majority fondly anticipated during
the past few weeks. * * * Senator
Blaine said last night that he ‘enter
tained a thread of hope that Davis would
be elected,’ and that 'if he was defeated
Hancock will be the next President.’ ”
As the latest from Maine is to the ef
fect that General Plaisled’s election is
assured, we may conclude that Blaine
has conceded Garfield’s defeat in No
vember.
London Truth of September 9 says:
All the efforts that have been made to
induce Lady Burdett Coutts to recon
sider her matrimonial intentions have
proved unavailing. Her Majesty and
the Archbishop of Canterbury have both
written to her, but she is as determined
to have her way as ever was a lovesick
schoolgirl. Negotiations are still going
on respecting the suggested modifica
tions in the will of the Duchess of St.
Albans, in order that the fair bride may
retain her share in Coutts bank, and her
residences in Stratton street and High-
gate during her lifetime, but as yet noth
ing has been settled.”
It will be seen by our Atlanta special
that Governor Colquitt has been under
the necessity of refuting another vile
slander. If all the lies and slanders that
have been uttered against Governor
Colquitt by his enemies could be turned
into votes for Norwood, our distin
guished fellow citizen would be elected
Governor “by a large majority.” But it
is more likely that these campaign lies
will count on the other side on election
day—that, like chickens, they will come
home to roost
The active business in New York is
described in glowing colors by the Tri
bune, which states that the metropolis
has never seen busier days. “Night is
being turned into day, and the work of
filling the orders of country buyers, es
pecially in the dry goods trade, is car
ried far into the small hours. An im
mense amount of work is now done by
the electric light.”
Here is another hint for Puck, from
the World: “What pencil can ade
quately portray the smile of Mr. Conk
ling as he stands thoughtfully gazing on
the bubbles that bob to the surface above
the spot where Mr. Garfield has dragged
down Mr. Blaine in his despairing
clutch, and reflects that the departed
once called him ‘a turkey-gobbler,’ ‘a
singed cat,’ and ‘a whining puppy?’ ”
Cheering reports come from the De
mocracy in New Jersey and Connecticut.
In both States the party, it is said, was
never in better trim, “the news from
Maine” having inspired the rank and file
with unprecedented enthusiasm.
Hon. Charles W. Jones, of Florida.
Georgia contains many admirers of the
above distinguished Senator of Florida.
His manly struggles against the fearful
odds of poverty and friendlessness in
early youth, his heroic and untiring
efforts to acquire an education during
the intervals gained from constant
manual labor and the close and unremit
ting attention that finally placed him
among the foremost in his chosen pro
fession, are traits that inspire respect and
commend him to the esteem of all who
admire true manhood.
Taking his seat in the Senate in 1875,
without any of the adventitious aids of
fame, fortune or family, his strong na
tural abilities were soon recognized and
admitted. Since that period he has
steadily advanced in popular regard, and
there are not many in the august body of
which he is a member, who wield
greater influence, or whose views are
listened to with more deference. A1
though a staunch and fearless Democrat,
he has ever displayed a catholicity of
sentiment, and a broad conservative
spirit, that have blunted the shafts of
partisanship, and won the good-will of
political opponents.
As a strict interpreter of the Constitu
tion and a thoroughly read student in
our national history, he stands pre-emi
nent. It was due to these qualities that
he received the compliment of being
selected by the National Executive Com
mittee to assist in the campaign now
going on in the States of the North and
Northwest. From this work, in which
he was rendering most valuable service,
he was suddenly recalled by the illness
and subsequent death of his wife,
whom he was most tenderly attached.
Florida and the South have in Senator
Jones a gallant, a watchful defender of
their interests and honor, and the coun
try at large a legislator whose views are
not narrowed by sectional boundaries,
and who looks to the welfare of the en
tire community.
Mr. Jones’ term will expire next March,
and his Georgia friends would be delight-
id to see him re-elected. Florida would
honor herself and confer a benefit upon
ihe whole country by sending back to
Washington for the next six years a gen
tleman whose career has been marked
by those high qualities of head and heart
that adorn humanity and advance civili
zation.
Bayonet Rule.—To say that history
repeats itself is simply to give vent to an
old truism. The legislative body in
Buenos Ayres has been subjected to bay
onet rule. There, by the last accounts,
the government troops entered the
Chamber of Deputies, ejected the mem
bers from it and closed the hall. Oliver
Cromwell resorted to a similar measure
in dispersing his obnoxious Parliament.
On a similar but not less effective seal*
Gen. de Trobriand, acting under orders
from Washington, dealt in like manner
with the Louisiana Legislature, and from
Gen. Sherman’s correspondence with
GeD. Hancock we now know that, pend
ing the settlement of the Presidential
controversy in 1876, troops were massed
at Washington for some occult purpose
which has never yet been divulged, but
which may be surmised. It is a rough
way of settling matters, and is altogether
in direct violation of the first principles
of liberty. Nevertheless, strange to say,
all these outrages occurred, not under
despotism, as might be imagined, but in
countries professedly governed by Re
publican institutions, a fact which
goes to prove that the greatest crimes
against liberty are often committed in
her name.
Tiie Liberlyx Emigrants.—News
has been received in New York of the
safe arrival at Liberia of the sixty-six
colored emigrants who left for that col
ony on the bark Liberia, on the 23d of
last May, and also of the seventy-six who
followed them on the 29th of the same
month, in the bark Monrovia. The
greater number of these emigrants were
refugees from Arkansas, who last spring
arrived in New York, having defrayed
their own expenses by rail. They and
other emigrants from North Carolina
and Texas were provided by the Ameri
can Colonization Society with passage
direct for Liberia. The Liberia arrived
out in thirty five and the Monrovia in
thirty-two days. During the voyage
both vessels experienced goed weather
and landed their living freight in excel
lent health. Nearly all the passengers
by these two barks have located on land
at Brewerville, on the St. Paul river, dis
tant about eight miles from the capital,
and are reported to be more than con
tented with the change they have made.
French flat houses are growing in pop
ularity in New York. Many wealthy
people prefer these tenements, even at
high rents, to entire houses. They are
very convenient for families, especially
the females of households. They save
•friction” in housekeeping, require few
er servants, less furniture, and involve
less responsibility. They simplify the
problem of living, and, never being en
tirely unoccupied, are practically burglar
proof. The tenant is relieved from the
dread of being robbed when he knows
that his key is in the hands of a trust
worthy janitor. Some of these flats are
large and elaborate, containing from
twelve to eighteen rooms, and renting at
from $2,500 to $5,000 a year. The com
fort of living altogether on one floor is
very great, and tenants in these houses
are quite as private as they would be in
separate bouses.
A correspondent of the New York
Times, writing from Richmond, Va.,
concedes that even with division in the
ranks of the Democracy there is no rea
son to suppose that Republicans can
carry the State. If outside aid, he
argues, is not extended to the colored
voters to pay the capitation tax an in
significant Republican vote will be
polled; and if outside aid is extended,
the two wings of the Democracy will at
once unite and carry the State by an
overwhelming majority. In either
event, according to the * Times corres
pondent, the State is safe for Hancock
and English. This is an important ad
mission, coming as it does from a Re
publican source, but at the same time we
should much prefer to see a united
Democracy in the Old Dominion.
The October number of Scribner's
Monthly completes the twentieth volume
of this popular magazine. The opening
article is an entertaining description of
the sport of porpoise shooting, by Chaa.
C. Ward, illustrated by a number of
very clever sketches. The biography of
Millet, the famous French painter, is
continued, and a number of excellent
wood engravings from his works are
given. Mr. Schuyler’s “Life of Peter
the Great” increases in interest, and Mr.
Cable’s powerful Creole novel is brought
to a dramatic finale. There is also an
interesting paper on the Mammoth Cave
and a thoughtful article by Mr. Sidney
Lanier on “The New South,” together
with short stories, sketches, poetry, etc.,
of the usual standard of excellence
steadily maintained by the careful and
discriminating editor, Dr. J. G. Holland.
Hr. Conkling Rebuked.
Partisan Democratic papers have been
very well content to let Mr. Conklmg’s
late speech at the Academy of Music in
New York go for what it is worth before
the country. But moderate Republican
newspapers shew intense disgust that
such an oration should have been de
livered in such an emergency, and are
intensely irritated against the speaker
because of it. They seem to feel some
thing of the spirit of the late Horace
Greeley, who, when Mr. John Jay re
buked him on the part of the Union
League Club for offering to become Mr
Jefferson Davis' bondsman, retorted with
all his wonted fire and bluntness: “Your
attempt to base a great enduring party
on the hate and wrath necessarily en
gendered by a bloody civil war is as
though you should plant a colony on an
iceberg which had somehow drifted
into a tropical ocean.” So that de
cided Republican journal, the
New York Evening Post, rebukes
Mr. Conkling with stern severity for
what it calls his “insidious assault upon
the best character, purposes and hopes
of the Republican party,” and accuses
him of having no other object than
revive and reinforce that narrow, odious
and malignant sectionalism against which
all the better members of the party have
been struggling for the last ten years.”
The Post declares that Mr. Cockling
proclaims the struggle to be sectional,
and only sectional, and attempts to do
what Edmund Burke said was impossi
ble, in framing “an indictment against
a whole people,” and that he does this
“m the lowest spirit of the carpetbagger
and the demagogue.” The entire drift
of his reasoning is said to mean that
“the President should be elected by the
machine, and when elected controlled by
the machine.” But no such dictation
on the one part and subserviency on
the other is admitted by the
Post to be in the spirit of our
Constitution. After reviewing closely
and pointing out what it considers to be
the fallacies which underlie the whole
course of Mr. Conkling’* argument, the
Po*t concludes that he “has done much
hitherto to drive independent thinkers
from their Republican adhesions, and
his present ill-judged, illogical and mali
cious speech will, we fear, quicken the
departures.” The New York Herald,
commenting upon the Post's protest and
Gen. Garfield’s ambiguous attitude to
wards needed reforms, says that thought
ful Republicans all over the country are
inclined to believe, in certain contingen
cies, that “it may be as well, or better,
to let him be defeated, and let the great
Republican party have four years in the
minority, in which to wash itself and
become once more clean. ”
Increasing Abuses of the Civil
Service.
The Washington correspondent of the
New York Journal of Commerce says:
“The perversion of the civil service of
the government to the uses and demands
of campaign committees goes bravely
forward. The administration has be
come shockingly indifferent to its
pledges made one, two and three years
ago. There is increasing insolence in
the collection of assessments from gov
ernment employes. The agents of the
campaign committees have been putting
the screws upon even enlisted men in
the army on duty at the War Depart
ment. There are instances where gov
ernment clerks have been set to work
directing campaign documents from
their desks in the departments, while
others are employed in translating some
of these documents from English into
German and French.
Remarking on this scandalous prostitu
tion of the government departments to
partisan purposes, the Journal says
“There is no longer any affectation of
propriety in this miserable business.
Begging committees go about boldly in
all the departments, and the clerks give
whatever they are asked. It is well un
derstood that their hold ou place and
salary depends on their ‘contributions’
for party purposes. A liberal subscrip
tion to campaign funds is now the only
tenure of office known at Washington
and elsewhere throughout the Federal
service. Most of the Cabinet officers are
away while this is going on. Their ab
sence is convenient at this time. It ac
complishes a double object. It enables
them to make campaign speeches
and to pretend ignorance of abuses that
flourish in their departments. But they
cannot evade responsibility in this way.
President Hayes and all his Secretaries
know perfectly well how the civ.l ser
vice is squeezed for campaign funds, and
it matters not whether they encourage it
by words, or consent to it by silence. In
either case they are equally to blame.
Southern Cotton Mills.—In con
nection with the suggestion of Mr. Ed.
ward Atkinson, the well kuown cotton
statistician, that an exhibition devoted
exclusively to cotton would be productive
of much good, the New Orleans States
throws out the hint that it would be
good idea for the cotton men of New
Orleans to work up the suggestions into
an accomplished fact. “The South,”
says the States, “needs to have mills
erected in every section of the cotton
region. This, to be sure, may be a mat
ter of time, but the development is very
slow. Every inducement should be held
out for the investment of foreign capi
tal in Southern mills. The surest way
is to bring the capitalists themselves here
and show them that we are a civilized
and peaceable people, and that it is all
nonsense to suppose that it would be
unsafe to invest their money in milling
properly South because ot the fear that
the profits would be eaten up by taxa
tion, and that their laborers would be
maltreated because of political, religious
or social opinions. Now is the time for
our business men to act.”
Fever at New Orleans.—The forty-
five cases of fever at New Orleans quar
antine, which the local health board calls
ypho-malarial, but which other surgeons
equally expert declare to be yellow fever,
are probably nearly akin to the latter.
Their detention below, and the fact that
there has been no case of the fever in
New Orleans proper this season, although
it has prevailed with virulence in Brazil,
Cuba, and various other West India
islands, are to the credit of the energetic
provisions of the National Board of
Health. Some of the measures and ac
tions of this body, remarks the Balti
more Sun, are not calculated to win gen
eral approval, but there can be no doubt
of its efficient agency in protecting New
Orleans and promoting the proceedings
had for the purification of Memphis. It
is only proper to allow this board full
credit for these eminent successes, since
its general course has sometimes been
criticised sharply.
One of Conkling’s Lies.—In his
speech last Friday in New York Mr.
Conkling said:
After the massacre in Glenfruin, not
so savage as has stained our annals, two
hundred and twenty widows rode on
white palfreys to Sterling towers, bear
ing each on a spear her husband’s bloody
shirt. The appeal waked Scotland s
slumbering sword, and outlawry and the
block made the name of Glenfruin terri
ble to victorious Clan Alpine even to the
third and fourth generation.”
A massacre which resulted in the death
of two hundred and twenty husbands
was “not so savage as has stained our
annals.” That is certainly a whopper.
Lord Gobbler has discredited himself.
After hearing such a falsehood as that
from his lips, his hearers can never again
know whether he is lying or telling the
truth.
Oxer land Movement* of Cotton.
The increase in the total yield of the
cotton crop of the United States from
the season of 1873 74 to that of 1879-’80
has been 38.05 per cent. The increase
ih the overland and inter-State trans
portation cf the crop between the same
dates has been 137.61 per cent. This
shows, says the Baltimore Sun, a new
and important direction acquired by the
annual movement of the great staple
from the producers’ fields to the con
sumers' warehouses and mills. It is
movement which will continue to i
crease and develop rapidly, and will
contribute materially to the sources of
income of the railroads. The reasons
for the augmented popularity of this
new route for Southern commerce are
obvious. The recently perfected rail
road consolidations and combina
tions, and the improvements now
being made in the rails, ballasting and
general equipment of all railroads with
Southern connections and Southern
outlets, have a tendency to cheapen ma
terially the cost of carrying freight of
every sort, and especially cotton. Steel
rails, solid road-beds and unity of man
agement are making the transportation
problem work itself out. Rates that
few years ago would not cover expenses
now afford a clever margin of profit
and the rates of the future promise to be
still lower. This fact continually widens
the district that can come cheaply to |
market over given lines. This I
again makes closer and more
mate the connection between mer
chants at the points of collecting
the crops and those where □
is distributed, and increases the^
community of interest between Western
and Southern business men. Thus St.
Louis began to become a great cotton
market a few years back, and now Lou
isville and Cincinnati are following suit.
St. Louis in the year 1879 80 shipped
479,686 bales, and the total quantity car
ried overland was 1,181,147 bales, or over
20 per cent, of the total crop. Northern
and local mills generally prefer the over
land shipped cotton, as it is brought right
to their doors without the cost of handling
and trans-shipment. The movement di
rect to manufacturers for the cotton year
just ended reaches 576,725 bales, against
474,255 bales the last cotton year, an in
crease of over 21 per cent.
A Devout Grkenbackbr. — Missis
sippi has a Greenbacker who is just too
pious for any use. This is Captain A.
J. Wimberly, of Yalabusha county,
Chairman of the Greenback State Exec
utive Committee. To illustrate the ex
traordinary sanctity of this individual, it
is only necessary to present one of his
prayers, which recently appeared in his
organ, the Standard:
“God, let the Heavens fall, let the
earth sink, let the sun cease to shine,
but for mercy’s sake, and for the sake of
the rising generation, crush the so called
Democtacy, is my honest and earnest
prayer.”
The secret of the whole matter is that
the Mississippi Democracy has been very
seriously checking Wimberly’s aepira
tions for office. As a prominent State
journal remarks: “He is a fit repre
sentative of the white ‘sore head’ ele
ment of his party, who would sacrifice
the country for the sake of a little office,
and rather than be disappointed would
consign the Democracy to everlasting
perdition/]
A Military Order.—The Governor
has issued the following order:
Exec. Department. State of Ga.
Atlanta, Ga., Sept. 20, 1880.
General Orders No. 5.
Permission is hereby granted to any
regiment, battalion or company of vol
unteers or the national guard of aDy
State, or the District of Columbia, regu
larly organized under the laws thereof,
to enter this State armed and equipped
during the month of October, 1880, for
the purpose of participating in the re
union of citizen soldiery and the cere
monies incident to laying the corner
stone of a memorial armory to be erected
by the Gate City Guard, Gk>rgia Volun
teers.

Boston is rich enough to be able to
afford to celebrate its quarter of a thou
sandth anniversary handsomely. In 1800,
when the population of the city was
25,000, the real estate valuation was only
$287 per capita. Now, with a popula
tion of 313,938, the real estate is valued
at over $400,000,000, or $1,274 per capita.
Torpedo Balloons.—A scientific
gentleman warns the country and the
government of a new and temble engine
of war that may possibly come into use,
and against which New York would be
utterly defenseless. It is the torpedo
balloon. A vessel lying out of range of
any of our forts could take advantage of
favoring breezes to set adrift, without
jeronauts, small balloons, each carrying
fifty pounds of nitro-ulycerine, the ex
plosive to be dropped by a well-known
and cheap mechanical contrivance at
such times as may be determined upon
after the distance and velocity of the
wind have been estimated. It will be
readily seen that a vessel barely in sight
of land, and after only the rudest calcu
lations, could not send out any such
fiendish missiles without doing great
damage to life and property somewhere
within the great area covered by New
York, Brooklyn and Jersey City. It is
poor comfort to think that other large
cities of the world are equally exposed
to 6uch terrors, and that even London
and Paris are not far enough from the
seaboard to escape harm. A general
agreement between civilized powers,
such as was made regarding explosive
bullets, should promptly niplhis danger
in the bud.—New York Herald.
Rev. Mr. Genuflux fell down stairs
last Sunday morning, with a flower vase
in one hand, a pitcher of water in the
other, a lamp globe under his arm, and
a China saucer tucked in his coat pocket
He was trying to carry all these things
down stairs, and he succeeded. But
when he got them to the bottom, and his
anxious wife screamed from the head of
the stairs to know if he had broken any
thing, he took an account of stock and
calmly reported that ‘ ‘ he had broken
everything but the Sabbath.” “The only
thing,” petulantly commented his careful
and economical wife, “that we could
afford to break.”—Burlington Hmckeye.
A Heavy Shipment of Sealskins.—
During last week nine hundred and fifty
casks of Alaska sealskins arrived at New
York. They, with four hundred and
fifty casks yet to come, are going to
London to be dressed for market. The
consignment contains about 92.500 skm9,
and is valued at nearly $1,000,000. The
cost of freight to that point is almost
$600 for a car load of forty casks. The
skins are tied in oblong bundles and
packed in salt. It requires eight skins
to make a full sacque, and they have to
be dressed and dyed by London furriers
and then reshipped to this country.
Miscegenation in Illinois—The
Chicago Tribune's special from Gales
burg, I1L, says society there is greatly
agitated over the marriage of one of
Galesburg's most refined and highly
educated young 1 idies to a colored man
who was a servant in the family. She
is highly connected, her father having
been an eminent divine at the time of his
death, and well known in Episcopal
circles throughout the Northwest. The
couple ran away Tuesday evening and
were married. Wednesday they were
found several miles from Galesburg, at a
colored man’s residence.
It is believed that the veil presented
by Brussels to the Princess Stephanie is
the largest ever made. It is 128 by 118
inches; 125 workmen made it in three
months, and it cost $5,000. In the
middle are the arms of Austro-Hungary,
flanked by the arms of the city of Brus
sels. The border will represent the
arms of the nine provinces of Belgium,
those of Austria and of Belgium, all
connected by a wreath of flowers.

Prosperity of the South.
Sew York Telegram.
When this campaign shall have ended
—and however it may end—the country
will be in a position and mood, it is to
be hoped, to give a kindly thought and
some hearty and fraternal congratula
tions to the South upon the improve
ment in its social and material condi
tions.
Should General Hancock be elected
next November—a result which at no
stage of the canvass has seemed
probable as now—there is room for the
bitterest Republican to hope that he will
be both able and willing to surround
himself with such advisers, and to
voke the aid of such principles of civil
service tenure, as to give the coun
try a clean, moderate and satisfac
torv administration. The new broom
sweeps clean, and there is not
the slightest ground, outside
the supposed exigencies of a campaign
debate, to expect that the Democrats,
they should recover the confidence of
th2 country which they lost in the social
revolution of twenty years ago, would
prove materially ^mworthy of it.
would be their business to convince the
country, beyond the possibility of future
challenge, that their party is capable,
frugal, continent, loyal, and in the full
est sense reconstructed.
Should Mr. Garfield be elected, there
would still be reason to hope that we had
seen the last Presidential campaign con
ducted on the false and pernicious issue
of sectionalism. The real disposition,
the better judgment and utterances of
the Republican candidate guarantee this.
In fact, the Republican party promises
it. “Only just once more,” its press
and speakers say, “let us prolong our
hold ou power by dodging all real is
sues, by appealing to the terrors and
prejudices of Northern voters, and by
misrepresenting the spirit of the South,
and we promise to never do so again.
“After this election the country thall
have peace.” Ex-President Grant, the
man of war, has given evidences that he
would have fought even this campaign
on the basis of reconciliation, fraternity
and the bro&de&t conception of
tionality. Mr. Garfield, whose instincts
were even more decidedly in that direc
tion, allowed himself to be side-tracked
on to false issues by bad advisers. It
now evident that the campaign will be
in any event so alose for the Republicans
as to warn them never again to make
this mistake.
After the campaign, therefore, the
wonderful brightening of prospects in
the Southern portion ot the Union wid
command the attention of all classes.
The era of prosperity upon which thai
section has entered will both seem and
be all the greater by reason of the poverty
which has so long outlasted the war and
the other influences that caused it. The
present census has spoiled all the predic
tions that the South was falling off in
population. The more that census is
verified and understood the more absurd
appears the charge that the South’s re
ported increase in population is due to
frauds ou the part of the census takers.
General Walker, the Chief of the Census
Bureau, vindicates the integrity and
correctness of his work, attributing the
greater increase in such States as North
Carolina, South Carolina, West Virginia,
Florida, Kentucky, Missouri and Texas,
not only to immigration, but to larger
families and a larger birth rate. That
the South’s turn, at last, has come to
share the benefits of the wonderful ma
terial development that is characteristic
of modern Western civilization need
cause nobody alarm. The philanthropist
should lie gratified to see the demonstra
tion of his old proposition that the South
would flourish better under free labor
than it ever flourished under slavery.
The politician should take courage in
the fact that an infusion of new blood
and a diversity of interests will proba
bly from this time forth bteak up the
anomaly of a “solid” South. The pa
triot should rejoice that admission to
a share in the nation’s splendid material
prospects will destroy the last vestiges of
bitterness and resentment over the “lost
cause” in the South. Perhaps most of
all the city of New York, as the com
mercial metropolis for the products and
the distributing point for the supplies
of a large part of the South, is concern
ed in its new and glorious departure. Al
ready the merchants of New York have re
sumed their old ante-war relations of com
mercial intimacy and sympathy with the
South. They no longer depend for their
prosperity upon the abundance or the
price of wheat in the Northwest. The
two thousand six hundred million dol
lars that have gone into the South in the
past ten years for its cotton crop alone,
while greatly repairing and replenishing
that once wasted section, have immense
ly developed the trade and prosperity of
New York.
Colonial Power of Great Britain.
Baltimore Sun.
Virginia is the mother of statesmen
but Great Britain is the mother of na
tions. The stormy seas which engird
this tight little island, instead of being
its prison-bars, have been converted into
its highways, over which the Briton ram
bles. the genuine tramp of the modern
world. He rushes in where men of less
vigorous nationality fear to tread, and
his foot is permanently planted along all
the tracks that the conquerors of the earth
have brushed in their transient passage.
sVsia, Africa, North and South America,
Oceanica, Great Britain occupies a van
tage-ground in each of these continents
holds all, scarcely ever loses any. The
American States, which cut loose from
George III., rather than from Great
Britain, are to-day bigger in popu
lation and resources than Germany
or France—bigger than the old
country itself, and with an
unlimited proclivity to grow, possess an
unlimited room to expand in. Indeed
the “mother country,” as Great Britain
is reverently called in so many parts of
the globe, has many children bigger than
herself that are still tied to her apron
string—overgrown, sometimes unruly
boys, yet too fond of the maternal root-
tree to think seriously of setting up inde
pendent establishments for themselves.
Great Britain’s area (including Ireland)
does not exceed 631,00*1 square miles,
which is just about the area of the State
of Nevada, considerably less than the
area of California, and considerably less
than half the area of Texas. The popu
lation is 31,600,000, or very little more
than three-fifths as much as that of
the United States. Yet this small
country has colonies and colo
nial possessions, exclusive of Cy
prus and the feudatory States
of India, which aggregate in area
7,910,059 square miles, or twice the area
of the whole United States, have a popu
lation of 205,264,000, which is four
times greater than our population, and a
foreign trade in exports and imports ag
gregating $1,800,000,000. The coast
line of this va't empire, which the Bri
ti9h navy undertakes to preserve intact
from the footprints of all invaders, is
33,000 miles long, or the length of the
equator with the diameter of the earth
thrown in. It will be seen from this
that the colonial empire of Great Britain
bigger, if not greater, than the
kingdom itself, having sixty-six times
"much space to develop itself
in, six times as many inhabit
ants, and a foreign trade tne aggregate
of which already exceeds considerably
that of the United States. If in the
course of one hundred years these vari
ous British colonies should grow and
develop in the same proportion as the
United States have done in the last hun
dred years, it is certain that the power
and prestige of the English-speaking
races will preponderate on the globe, ana
any close confederacy between them
would be efficient to compel that general
disarmament of the military nations,
which statesmen look upon as the surest
harbinger of universal peace.
A Family Poisoned.—The family of
D. Carl, of Pleasant Valley, Pa., con
sisting of himself, his wife and one
child, also Mr. and Mrs. Woodward, of
Mill Creek, together with a hired girl,
Jennie Powell, were accidentally poi
soned Sunday by eating cakes made of
cornmeal, which had been mixed with
arsenic and set aside for the purpose of
killing rats. Mrs. Carl and Mrs. Wood
ward died Monday morning. Jennie
Powell cannot live. The others may
possibly recover.
A Famous Locomotive.—It is a curi
ous fact that the locomotive which, with
its train, went down with the Tay bridge,
now running regularly between Glas
gow and Edinburgh. For three months
it laid in the bottom of the Tay, but
when it wa3 brought up it was found un
injured, except the funnel, dome and
weatherboard, which had to be renewed.

Oar Sea Coa*t Defenses

The New York Scientific American
discusses the question, “Could a hostile

it in the affirmative. England, France,
Germany, Italy or Spain could conoen
Along the eastern and southern slopes
of the Alleghany range in Virginia, the
Carolinas, Georgia and Alabama there
lives a class of people known as “dirt
eaters. ” The dirt alleged to be eaten is
a species of soapstone or clay, generally
white as chalk, free from grit, and al-
trate a dozen heavy iron clads off Sandy j m °st tasteless—-said to be nearly as nu
Hook within three weeks after a decla
ration of war, “and, as we have abso
lutely no ships whatever to meet them at
sea. we should have to depend upon our
coast defenses and torpedoes for protec
tion.” Ships could not come nearer than
half a mile to the Narrows without be
ing sunk, but they could come up the
bay until within range of Fort Hamilton,
where they would" be within seven
miles of the Battery. and they
could reach the sea beach of
tritious as" ordinary bread. It'is said
that in some localities the clay com
prises one half or more of the food of
the people. Recently the Georgians
having got “miffed” because some Yan
kee wag called them “dirt-eaters,” have
commenced shipping dirt to the Northern
cities, where it is U3ed in the adultera
tion of butter; and so perfect is the cheat
that the adulterated article looks and
tastes better than genuine “cow butter.”
Dealers and consumers in Cincinnati are
Long Island, when, without being I having a row about the alleged manufac
under fire, they would be wituin eleven
miles of New York and still closer to
Brooklyn. Krupp's rifled breech-load
ing guns have a publicly known range
of seven miles. General Gillmore, during
the siege of Charleston, threw shells
eight miles from a 300-pound Parrott
gun. Krupp's 12-inch gun at the Cen
tennial Exhibition at Philadelphia was
claimed to have a range of fifteen miles.
His latest gun, 15.75 inches calibre, is
said to throw a solid shot weighing 1,760
pounds a distance of over ten miles
and the Armstrong guns for the Italian
Government are credited with a range
of twelve miles. As the Scientific Ameri
can says, such guns, fired at a city,
might almost be shot at random,
and would still find a mark. All
Brooklyn and the wealthiest part of New
York would be at the mercy of a gun
which carried twelve miles. “Such
gun is not only possible, but extremely
probable, and, in view of the helpless
position in which we should then be
placed in the absence of any navy to
take the offensive, it might be welf for
our business men to take thought for
the future by asking Congress to give
them some form of protection in the
event of war. It opens the widest field
for the inventive genius of this country
to exert itself to devise such protection. ”
Colonel W. P. Craigbill, *-the dis
tinguished engineer in cna^ge of the de
fenses of Ba timore, pureues a similar
line of reflection in a letter to ihe Sun %
He s .ys that he thinks it higliTFmiportlet
for journals like the Sun to ain^u creat
ing a proper public sentim**R as to
the great importance of the prepare
tion of a proper system of defense for
Baltimore in particular and the v^ole
coast of the United States in genial,
which is now almost entirely at themetcy
of a foreign enemy.” Proper defenses
cannot be extemporized. They are of
slow growth, should be begun at once
and systematically continued. A million
or two a year spent in this direction
would be trifling in comparison with the
immense interests at stake. “It seems to
be supposed,” says Colonel Craighill,
that we are never to have another war.
I trust those who entertain that opinion
may not be mistaken, but the probabili
ties are against them judging lrom the
past. It should not be forgotten,” he
adds, “that a fleet of steamers
from British or Spanish waters,
stronger than any we could assemble
to resist, might easily reach our
shores in a few short hours. It would
find us unready everywhere. It should
not be forgotten that a "hostile fleet could
select its point of attack, and if we de
pend on naval defenses it is necessary
for us to be equal to the attacking forces
at every attackable point. This would
necessitate an enormous development of
our navy at a very great cost. It can be
demonstrated to the satisfaction of most
reasonable men that the cheapest and
most certain safeguard against attack by
a maritime enemy is to have our coast
thoroughly defended by batteries of hairy
guns mounted on terra firma." In the
case of Baltimore these batteries would
need to be a good distance down the
river, and probably below Fort Car-
roll.

How Happiness Is Seen red.
Happiness is the absence of pain or an
noyance, and wherever there is pain there
is disease. A pain in the lower portion of
i the body indicates a disorder of some kind.
If there is any odor or color deposit in the
urine it means disease and requires atten
tion at once. We have heard many of our
friends speak of the remarkable power of
Warner’s Safe Kidney and Liver Cure, and
are convinced there is nothing so certain
and valuable for all disorders of the urinary
system, both male and female.

extraordinary prosperity of the country’,
the flourishing condition of commerce
and manufactures, and the very gratify

foreign countries being in our favor. All
this pleasant condition of affairs Mr.
Sherman ascribes to the Republican

Republican organization in all sections
of the country. An official document
has just been issued from a division of
the department over which Mr. Sher
man presides which sets forth with great
force and clearness one of the means
with which this disloyal South is operat
ing to break down the credit and the
prosperity of the country. The docu
ment is the quarterly report of the
Bureau of Statistics, giving iD detail the
imports and the exports of the
United States for the three months
ended March 31, 1880. We find by this
document that the total value of bread
stuffs exported from the United States
for the three months named was
$52,081,638. Of this amount there
were $29,798,406 worth of wheat
and wheat flour, and $9,780,288
of corn. The value of cotton
and its manufactures exported for
the same period was $70,285,551. Thus
the cotton exported in three months ex
ceeded in value the amount of breadstuffs
the immense sum of $18,203,913. If
cotton is not king, it is certainly a prince
of the blood royal. Ilad it not l>een for
this cotton, the prosperity which Mr.
Sherman so exultantly vaunts would
not exist, and the balance of trade would
be immensely against us. Thousands
and thousands of operatives in the North,
who, with their families, would starve
if it was not for the cotton of the South,
will go up to the polls and vote the Re-
ublican ticket, becau-e they believe Mr.
herman and liis associates when they
tell them the South only wants to get
jjossession of the government to ruin it
<!)crtainly the people of the South cannot
be devoting all their time to devising
means to obtain possession of the gov
ernment and the hatching of schemes to
bankrupt the Treasury. They must be
jiving some little attention to material
nterests, or they would not be able to
contribute such a magnificent proportion
of the nation’s assets.
