the extension is necessary for the development

from Col. McGhee, in which he says: ‘If there
were no compulsion about it, the necessities of
the case would compel the Macon an 1 Bruns

be made at once, and the estimates footed,

Brunswick Advertiser: “We understand that
arrangements are made to ship cotton from
Macon via Jesup and Savannah over the
Charleston and Savannah Railway to Charles
ton. If this is true we cannot see how our peo
ple can rail to view such action with alarm and
distrust. It is rumored that the Macon and
Brunswick Railroad gets $20,000 if hauled over
her own lines to Brunswick. If over the Sa
vannah, Florida and Western Railway, $6,000
goes to that road; if over the Charleston and
Savannah Railway, another$5,000 to that road,
making $14,000 for the Macon and Brunswick
Railroad to Savannah. $9,000 to Charleston
and $20,f 00 to Brunswick. But whether that is
true or not, where is the independent railroad
from the interior to Brunswick, and of what
benefit is our work to obtain it if we are to
get lo cotton, have no steam lines and no busi
ness directed to our port which can possibly be
sent to rival seaports? Will the Superinten
dent of the Macon aad Brunswick Road, who
is supposed to have plenary- powers, explain
whether the above information, obtained in
Savannah, is true or not?”
The St Simon’s correspondent of the Bruns
wick Advertiser writes that paper: “The
larg -s' wildcat ever known on the island was
killed by Mr. J. L. Stevens. After killing this
cat, Mr. S. tied together his hind feet and
poked his gun between them. Then at ordina
ry ‘shoulder arms,’ ihe head, in carrying him,
dragged upon the ground, and Stevens is„jover
six ft-et high. From tip to tip he was at least
six feet long, and stood fully twenty-four
inches high. This cat, when killed, had but
three feet—a fore foot gone. Several years
before this the cats had been quite trouble
some and st.ll traps were set for them. On
one occasion a cat so large had been caught
that he carried trap, fastening and all away.
This is supposes to be the cat, and that the
foot caught sloughed off in due time by a regu
lar process of mortification.”
‘There was brought to this market this
week.” says the Brunswick Advertiser, “a
raft of forty four sticks of square timber that
averaged over one thousand feet to the stick.
It was cut on land of Messrs. J. Wilder A: Co.,
of this city, and sold to Messrs. McCullough &
Co. at Darien prices for same style of timber.”
We see by the Augusta Chronicle that Gen.
It. W. Carswell, of Jefferson county, has been
appointed by Governor Co’quitt Judge of the
Middle c ircuit, to fill the vacancy occasioned
by the death of Judge Herschcl V. Johnson.
'Ihe Chronicle says: “This appointment will
g.ve general satisfaction. General Carswell is
a prominent citizen of Jefferson coun
ty. an able lawyer, an accomplish
ed gentleman, anil a man of very
h’gh character. The Governor could not h^ve
chosen a better successor to the lamented
Judge Johnson. General Carswell will as ably
illu-urate the judiciary of Georgia as he has
the bar. The bench has received a great ac
quisition. and ihe bar and the people of the
Middle Circuit genera ly are to be congratu
lated that they are to have such a man as
General Carswell to preside over thtir courts
The honor and the dignity of the State of
Georgia and of the judiciary will be rigidly up
held by him, and he will prove himself as ca
pable as a Judge as he has iu all ether posh
tions.”
Under the heading, “A Manly Course," the
Augusta Chronicle saj-s: “Colonel Beverly D.
Evans, of Washington county, who Was
an applicant for the Judgeship of the
Middle Circuit, has written a letter in
which he states that, notwithstanding
his failure to receive the appointment, he will
still give Governor Colquitt nis hearty and cor
dial support. In these days, the reverse of
this seems to be the rule, and Colonel Evans'
course furnishes a refreshing contrast to the
general custom of disappointed applicants for
office.” _

Correspondence of the Morning News.
Ocali, Fiji., September 23.—From every
portion of the State where “our next Cover
nor,” W. D. Bloxhain, and his able co adjutors
have been canvassing, the most encouraging
news comes to us. The Democrats are aroused
and manifest the greatest enthusiasm in the
present contest. Never before, perhaps, have
such large meetings been held. The mer
chants close their doors, the farmers cease
harvesting, the laborer quits his task, and the
matrons leave their domestic re«ponsibilities
and turn out te meet the di>tinguislied advo
cates of Democrat io doctrines who, with Gov
ernor Bloxhani, are engaged in canvassing the
State. Every indication points to a large ma
jority for honest and economical government
next November.
Last Saturday Got. Bloxhani. Col, G. G. Mc-
Whorter, Hon. J. E. Yonge, and Col. S. 31. G
Gary held an enthusiastic meeting In Gaines
ville. The various Democratic clubs in the
county united and paraded the streets on
horseback. About three huudred persons were
in the procession and five or hix hundred were
in attendance upon the meeting. The able and
eloquent speeches of the distinguished orators
were listened to with great interest and atten
tion. The popular candidate ma le himself still
dearer to the hearts of his many warm friends,
and the determination is that there they will
overcome a lar*e Republican majority and
make it Democratic.
From Gainesville the speakers went to Bron
son and Cedar Key. where they were greeted
by magnificent demonstrations of patriotic
a dor. At the former place a splendid barbe
cue was provided, and everything went off
“merry as a marriage bell.”
Last Tuesday evening the campaign party
for the Peninsula was organized. Genera: E.
A. Finley and that distinguished American.
General W. W. L ring, and Judge Thos. F.
King, one of the Presidential electors, were
added to the party. Colonel Gary bad left at
Bronson and returned to Ocala.
The first meeting held by this party was at
Micanopy yesterday. J ho attendance was
large, considering how sparsely the commu
nity is populate 1, about three hundred persons
being in attendance. Addresses were delivered
by Governor Bloxhain, General Perry. General
Lo ring and Judge King. Colonel McWhorter
was on the sick report, and Mr. Yonge re
served himself for to-day.
To-day the speakers have been discharging
their duties at this place. 3Iarion county De
mocracy united here in one of the gra“dest
demonstrations made d ring the campaign.
Five hundred or more horsemen, accompanied
by the Ocala Brass Band, paraded the streets
in a well organized procession, wi r h banners
flying and flags waving. In the precession
were many colored people who have cast their
lots with the Democratic party. The atten
dance upon the speaking was very large.
It is estimated that fifteen hundred
people were congregated around the
^speaker's stand, which was constructed iu
a beautiful oak grove. Governor Bloxhani,
though unwell, distinguished himself by the
delivery of one of the most eloquent and forci
ble speeches we hare heard from him. The
insp ration from the magnificent audience
gave new impulse to nil of the orators. Colonel
McWhorter, Mr Yonge, General Perry and
Judge King addresse i the meeting.

The Existence of an Oathbound Nor
wood Club iu Pierce Couuty De
nied.
Blackshear, Pierce Cocnty, September.25.
—Editor Morning News: An article appeared
in a late issue of the Blackshear News, pur
porting to be a copy of an oath administered
to the members of the Norwood Club, which
club was ssid to have its existence in this coun
ty ; and as this article was noticed in your pa
per and also drew forth a labored comment
from the Atlanta Constitution, much to the
detriment of the good name and manhood of
the citizens of this county, we, as citizens of
Pierce county and supporters of Mr. Norwood,
desire to say that if there is such an organiza
tion as a Norwood Club in Blackshear or any
where else in Pierce county, we have no know
ledge of its existence, and until the publication
of the seurrillous article referred to, had no in
timation of it. It will be noticed that many of
the names which appeared to the article re
ferred to are, aod have been, pronounced sup
porters of Governor Colquitt, and why a Nor
wood Club should select the friends of Govern
or Colquitt as a means of furthering its inter
ests. we cannot understand. It will he noticed,
however, and a very curious coincidence it is,
that the denials so far from gentlemen advo
cating the election of Governor Colquitt, and
whose names appeared as members of the said
“Norwood Club," have, while they disclaim
any knowledge as to why they should be thus
misrepresented, by insinuation give out the
impression that said paper was genuine, and
that such an organization, with such a qualifi
cation for membership, really exists. vVe do
most emphatically deny that there is such an
organization in Blackshear, and if there is one
anywhere else in the county we never
heard of it before the article referred to was
published in the Blackshear News, and we have
never heard of it since We desire to state
further that in supporting Mr. Norwood, we
are but exercising the right of every Ainericau
citizen to vote for whom he pleases, and that
we support him in preference toTJovernor Col
quitt from a true spirit of loyalty to country
and principles. .
We ask as an act of justice that you give this
space in your paper, and trust that the Consti
tution also wifi be courteous enough to insert
it. J. M. Ptrdom.

By Telegraph to the Momina Neics.
Philadelphia, September 25.—“Revealed
religion in its relation to science and philos
ophy,” formed the topic discussed in all the
papers read at to-day’s session of the Pan
Presbyterian Council. Rev. Dr. Green, of
Princeton College, presided at the morning
session.
Professor Henry Calderwood, LL. D., of
Edinburgh, read a paper on the “ Rela
tions of Science and Theology,” during
which the author briefly and severely re
viewed the distinctive anti-theological pecu
liarities of the writings of Tyndall, Darwin,
Huxley and all modern scientists, who have
sought to controvert Bible assertions on a
scientific hypothesis. Having described the
boundaries respectively of theology and
science, and argued that interference be
tween the two is mythical, the author elab
orated the point that religion has been as
saulted especially from the ground of scien
tific inference and not from science itself.
The fact to be faced, however, was that there
had been firmly proclaimed antagonism to
the recognition of the supernatural, and un
der these circumstances it belongs
to theologians to make their appeal to in
telligent men by a clear statement of their
position. That theology has received able
support from scieuce was illustrated by the
speaker citing cases In which avowals of
Christian faith had been made in all ages
by men who had made scientific research
tbe study of their lives. He observed that
scientific men do not in a body participate
In the assaults made upon the Christian
chnrch, and those who do are not scientists.
That they are scientific was not denied, but
the speaker did deny that they were en
gaged in scientific work.
This paper was followed by one by Dr.
James McCash, D. D., President of Prince
ton College, N. J. Owing to restricted
time Dr. McCash was able to read only por
tions of his paper, epitomizing iu the brief
est manner possible the great bulk of Its
contents, which, according to the title of
the paper, dealt with the question of “How
to deal with young men trained in science In
this age of unsettled opinion.” His advice
was to deal tenderly with young men and
prepare them thoroughly with every possible
intellectual equipment, and he advised
especially that teachers should be cautious
of speaking iu an authoritative manner of
subjects on which they were not themselves
thoroughly informed. Dr. McCash gave
an Interesting summary of what he had ac
complished during sixteen years of his
ministry and as the head of a college In
Ireland, together with what had
been done during twelve years
of his Presidency at Princeton.
On the latter point he remarked that of
twelve hundred graduates that had left col
lege during his Presidency, only four went
away unbelievers, and of these four three
are now in the Gospel ministry, and the
fourth is high up in the theological class of
Princeton, having returned as a post gradu
ate. The reading of these papers was fol
lowed by the usual discussion of them and
of preceding papers.
Hon. Horace Maynard presided at the
afternoon session. Before the regular busi
ness was taken up a resolution was adopted
providing for the appointment of a com
mittee to consider aud report upon, at the
next Council meeting, all applications for
membership in the Alliance.
Hon. Horace Day then moved that the
committee to be appointed have power to
pass upon applications for admission to the
present Council. He remaiked that the ap
plication of the Cumberland Presbyterian
Church for admission to membership had
been rejected, although that church repre
sents one hundred and thirty thousand peo
pie, who are strictly Presbyterian in thalr
polity and Presbyterian iu their doctrine,
except the nine sections relating to predes
tination. Mr. Day asked how many of the
churches repri sented tn the Council believe
In those articles, and added that if the
Westminster Catechism was to be written
to-morrow, he believed that the majority of
churches would favor the omission of a
great deal now in it.
This remark elicited a chorus of such
cries as “order,” ‘ order,” “no,” “no,” etc.
After a warm discussion, Mr. Day’s mo
tion was adopted.
The order of the day was a paper on
“Apologetics,” by Rev. Ed. de rressener,
D. D., of Paris, but as that gentleman was
abseut, and the paper he had sent was writ
ten in French, It was n-ferred to the Publi
cation Committee.
Prof. Flint read a paper on “Agnosti
cism.” Briefly put, his definition of agnos
ticism was that spirit which chal
lenges but refuses to be convinced by evi
dence. “VVe live,” he said, “In an age
when a large number of people insist on
beiDg guided in religious matters by
the exercise of private judgment,
when, unfortunately, they have very little
judgment to exercise. We live In a critical
analytical age, and numbers are apt to
adopt the agnostic view and support them
by what they term critical methods. In the
speaker’s opinion, tbe only method by which
agnosticism can be met in a way that will
have permanent effect is by opposing to Its
narrow spirit piety, to its plausible hypothe
sis the ecEcImlou drawn from all classes of
relevant fact. In a word, by sound,thorough,
intellectual biblical scolarship.
Prof. Flint said he had great reipect for
Calvin, and believed in the doctrine of the
Westminster Catechism, but he utterly re
pudiated the notion, and one that was large
ly cauteful of agnos'icism, that the study of
theology came to an eml with the produc
tion of that catechism. In conclusion,Prof.
Flint said tba‘ each individual could, by the
beauties of a sincere, vigorous Christian
life, present agaiust agnosticism a more
powerful armament than could possibly be
put into words.
A formal greeting from the Methodist
ministers of Philadelphia w&s read, and a
resolution acknowledging Its receipt was
adopted by the Council, which then ad
journed.

Atlanta, Ga., September 26.—The Con-
ntitutton has been gathering from every
county the estimates of Sheriffs and Ordi
naries on the Governor’s election. The
showing is splendid for Colquitt. That
paper gives to-day the estimates of the
one hundred and four counties heard from.
Colquitt has ninety one counties, and Nor
wood only thirteen. Colquitt’s majorities
are 37,380, and Norwood’s 4,050, leaving
Colquitt’s net majority 33,330 In the one
hundred and four counties. The same pro
portion in the other thirty-three counties
would make Colquitt’s whole majority 44,000.
The colored vote is now the special object
of the Norwood management.

London, September 25.—The Economist
of this week says : “The rate of discount
for bank bills, sixty days to three months,
is 2 per cent., and for trade bills, sixty days
to three months, 2 ^a2?aper cent. Despite
the growing cheapness of money the stock
markets show a general fall. Political un
certainties have checked the previous buoy
ancy of all continental bourses. The mar
kets were also adversely affected by the de
cided relapse on the New York Stock Ex
change, and at home by the unfavorable
trade advices and traffic returns. The fall
In United States governments is unusual
aud deserves special mention.”
The Economist, after di&cussing tbe real
return offered by the redeemable issues, and
after taking into consideration the loss upon
future redemption at par, says: “The ques
tion also arises, what form the new funded
loan will take which will be Issued for their
redemption? Many reasons can be urged
for a 3 per cent, funded loan, which, next
to consols, would command the highest
market value of all the securities in the
world. Tbe rage for Indian gold mine
stocks is still on the increase. In Colonial
governments, Canadian 4 per cents, ad
vanced a half.”

Boston, Septemder 25.—St. Julien’s day
at Beacon Park brought together the largest
crowd ever assembled at a trotting park in
the vicinity of Boston since the day of the
Stnu2gler stallion race In 1872. The chief
attraction, of course, was 8t. Julien, who
was to Improve his last chance but one this
season to lower his record of 2:11% to
to 2:10%, or lower ; and he appeared
to be lu excellent condition to do so, his
fine appearance eliciting many noisy com
mendations from the multitude of specta
tors. To make the occasion more attractive
the Driving Association arranged two
more contests, procuring some of
the quickest steppers in the country,namely:
Dal-y Dale, Wedgewood, Driver and
Sheridan in the 2:19 class, and Nancy, Gol
den Girl, Wilburn F. ai.d Lady Martin in
the 2:25 class. The race in the latter class
was the first called, and after the first heat
had been trotted St. Julien appeared upon
the track and was received with thunders
of applause. He trotted up and down sev
eral times, making ready for his warming
up heat, which, after two poor starts,
he commenced in eood style. Though well
held In by Mr. Uickok, he trotted a mile in
2:24%.
The second heat of the 2:25 class fol
lowed tbe warming up heat of St. Julien.
When this had been decided the “king of
the turf ” again appeared on the track for
the first trial heat, and was received with
renewed demonstration of approbation.
Mr. Hickok nodded for the word
on the third start, and St. Julien
sped away for the quarter pole, which
he reached In 32% seconds, 3%
seconds Quicker than in his previous
heat. From here to the half mile the same
time was recorded, passing the half mile In
1:04% or 2:09 time. The next quarter was
made In 33%, the three-quarter pole being
passed in 1:38. From here the horse
thundered down the home stretch at a
rattling pace, and as he passed under the
wire in 2:13%, he received a perfect
ovation from the excited crowd.
After another heat of the 2:25 race had
been trotted, St. Julien was brought out
again. The start in this heat was rather
disappointing, as was the entire heat, the
horse not seeming to exert himself to his
utmost. He made the first quarter in 34%,
half mile in l:07%,third quarterin l:41%\aud
mile in 2:16. St. Julien was then led to his

Cotton Mills at the South.
Hon. Edward AtkinsoD, of Boston, has
lately been writing to a prominent citizen
of New Orleans that he cannot conscien
tiously recommend the establishment of
cotton mills at the South, on the assump
tion that—
‘Avery few will succeed, on a local
demand, but on a large scale cotton man
ufacturing needs a dense population, a
cold climate and a great many subsidiary
appliances. It is an exceedingly close
business, and in a common time its profit
turns on the sale of the waste and the
facilities for procuring the repairs, ma
terial and hands from machine shops iu
close proximity. The South cannot, at
present, afford to spin or weave cotton.
There are too many vastly better chances
for profit.”
The New Orleans Democrat makes a
sharp issue with Mr. Atkinson on these
several points. The editor says:
‘We do not know what Mr. Atkin
son’s grounds are for making these
statements. He confines himself to
mere assertions, witbout advancing any
facts to verify them. We submit, how
ever, that alf the argument in the world
would avail nothing against the unan
swerable demonstration of fact, and that
such practical propositions as the suc
cess of the mills at Columbus, Ga.,
Wesson and Natchez, Miss., and other
Southern points, are more eloquent and
convincing than all the theories and
arguments that human ingenuity could
accumulate. It is a well known fact
that these Georgia and Mississippi
mills have for some years past
been paying dividends of from 15 to 35
per cent.; that they have gone on, year
after year, increasing their capacity and
adding to their force—steadily becoming
more solid and prosperous, and adding
fresh force to the demonstration of the
South’s peculiar adaptation lo cotton
factories. The only obstacle to the gen
eral establishment of cotton factories,
and to the spinning aud weaving of all
the cotton raised in the South, immedi
ately at the source of its production, is
the want of sufficient capital here and
the belief on the part of Northern capi
talists of jast such errors as Mr. Atkin
son entertains and disseminates.”

OUR WASHINGTON LETTER.
Marshal Flizaimooa and H 1* Perse
cutor*—Collector Clark Monopo
lizes the Public Building at At
lanta.
Special Correspondence of the Morning News.
Washington, September 2a.—At a meeting
of those few members of the Cabinet who are
in the city, held to-day, the matter of Marshal
Fitzsimons' bond came' up. The Attorney
General stated, as heretofore reported in this
correspondence, that some of Mr. Fitzsimons'
bondsmen wanted to be relieved, and that the
Marshal had executed another bond. A New
York paper has opened up another attack on
the Georgia Marshal It states that the bonds
men wanted to be relieved because of the man
ner in which the Georgia Marshal's
office is conducted, on account of frauds
on the government in the various ways in
which Sir. Fitzsimons has so frequently been
charged of emploj’ing to fill his own coffers.
The specifications' and the charges are the
same as have frequently been made, and from
which he has frequently been exonerated
upon investigation by the Department or Jus
tice. The greater portion of the prints
charges now brought out are worded identically
as those which brought out the last investiga
tion ; in fact they are the same old charges
with but a li:tie pretense at revamping. H hen
Marshal Fitzsimons was here about makirg a
new bond this matter came up. He weut to
the Treasury officers and inquired of them if
there was any of his accounts that were in ihe
least wrong, or about which there was the
slightest suspicion. As a result he wrote a
letter to the Attorney General mentioning his
interviews with the Treasury folks, and stating
that they had nothing of his accotints “hung
up" or thought that anything was wrong. As a
result the Attorney General allowed the exe
cution of another bond. The Attorney General
said to-day that he saw no reason to take any
further action in regard to Marshal Fitzsimons.
It was true, he said, that some charges, the
same as have been made before, had been filed
against him. He would take them up at his
leisure, and if be saw anything in them that
would demand another investigation he would
order it. It is, perhaps, unnecessary to say
that the charges are made by Collector Clark
and his subordinates. The life of a Demo
cratic office-holder under a Republican admin
istration is not a happy one.
THE PUBLIC BULIDING AT ATLANTA.
Complaint has been made to the authorities
here, tnat under the manipulation of Collector
Clark at Atlanta, the space in the new public
building has been so allotted as to give all the
room to Clark's office and pen up the other
officials in small, inadequate and inconvenient
ly located rooms. Everything has had
to give way to Clark, who nas had
his way through the Treasury Department
in evervthing pertaining to the new building.
Both Judges Erskine and Woods have com-
E lained of Clark's manner in doing things and
■is locating them without consulting their
wishes—and then locating them in such small
and out of the wav places, too. The fact of the
business is, that Mr. Clark wants to run every
thing Federal in Georgia, is domineering and
impudent. He has the full ear of the Treasury-
Department, and does what h a wants to witn
Raum and Secretary Sherman. The new build
ing at Atlanta is under the Treasury Depart
ment, and in this way Clark has got to run the
whole machine. Potomac.
Political Meeting in Hare Connty.
Waycross, Ga., September 23.—Editor Morn
ing News: A political meeting was held here
to-day in the court house. Speeches were made
by Mr. Brad well, elector for the First district.
Judge Tompkins, and Col. McDonald, Indepen
dent candidate for Congress.
Mr. Bradwell spoke on national affairs, and
in glowing terms pictured the future of this
government should Hancock be elected. He
is graceful and eloquent, and created much en
thusiasm.
Judge Tompkins followed in a masterly
effort in the interest of Colonel Black, the
regular Congressional nominee. Whilst ac
knowledging the merits of Col. McDonald as a
man, he declared that he had made a great
mistake in announcing himself as an independ
ent candidate, and that he was un«ittinglv
assisting the Radicals to elect their man Col-
lins
His effort was grand and convincing in the
extreme, and it is safe to say that this county
will give a large majority for Hancock, Col
quitt aud Colonel Black. The attendance was
large and enthusiastic. Spectator.
PRACTICAL IN POLITICS.
Letter from Senator Jo*. E, Brown.
Atlanta Constitution.
Atlanta, Ga., September 6, 1880.
E. F. Lanier, Esq., West Point, Oa. :
Dear Sir—1 have to acknowledge
the receipt of your kind communication
of the third instant, informing me that
many of your prominent citizens desire
me to visit your place and speak upon
the political situation, both State and
National; and you state that if I cannot
come you desire my views upon the open
ing of the Chattahoochee river, etc.
Other engagements are such that I do
not think it will be in my power to go
to your pluce and make a political speech
during the campaign.
The question you ask in reference to
the cleaning out of the Chattahoochee
river is an important one, not only as
applying to that stream, but to the other
rivers and harbors in the State. Some
of those who have formerly represented
Georgia in the national councils boast
that they never obtained an appropria
tion for her during the whole period of
their service. It may have been well
enough in the former days of our pros
perity for Georgia to bear her proportion
of the taxes, expenses and burdens of
the General Government and to receive
no appropriation in return, while the
Northern States were annually receiving
such appropriations. Be that as it may, in
our present condition, when the State does
not possess anything like the wealth it
did in a former day, it seems to me that
is not now the proper course for us to
pursue. We now have to pay our part
of the tax and bear our part of the pub
lic burdens. Other States annually re
ceive large appropriations for the im
provement of their rivers and harbors,
and I can see no just reason why Georgia
should be an exception to that rule.
During the short period I remained in
the Senate I took position in favor of
such appropriations to our State, and
did all I could to aid in securing them.
It is very well to discuss principle and
for representatives in Congress to de
liver able speeches on political ques
tions; but it seems to me in the
present condition of the country it
would be better for our people if our
statesmanship should take a little more
of the practical turn, and if our states
men should secure for Georgia equal
benefits with those conferred upon other
States. This has been my policy, and if
I were to continue to represent the peo
ple in the national councils it would be
my policy in the future. I therefore
favor appropriations to clean out the
Chattahoochee from West Point to Bol
ton on the Western and Atlantic Rail
road, and I favor like appropriations for
all the rivers and harbors of the State,
wherever they can be so improved as to
aid greatly in the development of
the resources of our State and
the prosperity of our people.
The harbor of Savannah - should be
improved until it is made one of the best
in the United States. It is susceptible
of mch improvement, and might long
since have been all that the State could
reasonably desire if our Senators and
Representatives had pressed the im
portance of this matter upon the atten
tion of Congress. The inland channels
around the coast should be improved so
as to make the inland navigation easy
and safe. Who believes for a moment
that such a channel in the Northern,
States would be neglected for a singly
year? Our rivers penetrating into tha
interior, and especially into the large
lumber belt of the country,should also be
improved by adequate appropriations, so
as to enable the people to transport that
great resource of the State to market,
which would add very greatly to our
wealth and importance. I have no hesi
tation, therefore, in stating that I favor
appropriations by Congress to put our
rivers and harbors in Georgia all in such
condition as to facilitate tbe transporta
tion of our lumber and freights of every
character to market. This, I think,
would greatly increase the wealth and
prosperity of our people. And if our.
Senators and Representatives will attend
vigilantly to this matter, I have no
doubt, in a few years, the improvement
would be so marked as to give new life
and energy to the various industries of
our State and add greatly to our wealth
and importance.
I am, very respectfully, your obedient
servant, Joseph'E. Brow'n.

The Reign of Slander.
Aug*ista Chronicle.
Failing to undermine Governor Col
quitt’s popularity with the masses of the
people by any legitimate mode of war
fare known to political controversy,
some of the adherents of Mr. Norwood
have resorted to slander. An effort has
been made to prove that he is dishonest
and that he has abused trust funds. The
first charge of this kind was put forth
in the matter of the Governor’s con
nection with “The Direct Trade
Union.” It was promptly and de
cisively met, and for a time hid itself
from the light of day. But as the
Norwood cause grew more and more
desperate, like a *foul toad, it began to
creep from its lair in the dark, and it be
came necessary for Colonei Fulton to
utterly, and by authority, annihilate it.
The man who repeats it.'in future, does
so at the peril of committing the sin of
slander, which has not inaptly been
described as “the comprisal and sum of
all wickedness.” Hardly had this
Direct Trade Union fabrication been
put to rest, when the State is
startled by the revamping of an old.
stale romance, hitherto whispered
around, about Governor Colquitt's being
indebted, for a considerable sum, to the
Agricultural Society. The prominence
of the gentleman who backed this charge
compelled the Governor to answer and
iepel it. lie has done so effectually,
and it behooves the gentleman who made
tbe charge to apologize with as much
humihty as the case calls for and a sensi
tive conscience should require.
And yet some sneering busy-bodies
complain that Colquitt is always “vindi
cating himself.” How could it be^oth-
erwise? When has a man been more
maligned and slandered? Is he to have
the most specific assaults made upon his
honor without vindicating himself? No
honorable man will blame him for his
instant crushing out of the calumnies
that are :*prung against him, and it is to
his e verlasting credit and to the credit of
the commonwhealth which he represents,
that be can stand against the rock of
truth and slay misrepresentation, come
in whatever guise it may.
In making a vehicle of slander, our
Norwood friends have done more to
elect Colquitt and defeat their own
champion than they probably suspect.
A few misguided or ignorant men may
still believe these fictions even after they
have been corrected—just as Scripture
tells us that some men are so wedded to
vice that they would not repent though
one came from the dead to warn them
But the vast majority of our people are
too just to indorse such a course, and
they will condemn it utterly at the ballot
box.
We regret exceedingly that the cam
paign in Georgia should have taken such
a course. No public man objects to
maniy blows and criticisms. These
shoufd be given in a manly way and
taken or 1 eaten back accordingly. But
what reputable public man or what de
cent individual desirous of serving the
State, in any function, will care to pre
sent himself for the suffrages of his fel
low citizens when he knows that he shall
be made the target of the most
disterted, unfair and wanton mis
repn 8-ntations? Argument can be
met with argument, lawful charges
of maladministration can be refuted
by proof to the contrary; but slander
has an edge sharper than the sword. It
is tiue that even such an insidious at
tack cau be confronted and trampled
into the earth, “to die amid its worship
ers;” but . what a wrong is done our
common humat-itv that such vindication
should be made imperative and that
such a scandal should be born and nur
tured in tbe South! For the honor of
humanity and the glory of Georgia, we
rejoice that we have a Governor who
can silence even slander; but alas! for
the propagators of calumny who compel
an honest Executive to defend himself
in this way! The worthiest man may
be betrayed, in a moment of passion or
under hallucination, into making charges
he cannot sustain, and which are over
thrown by the party thus assailed. This
may happen to any person. But, when
the charge is proved untrue, baseless and
without warrant, it should be with
drawn as positively as made, and an
apology vouchsafed to the person whose
injury was sought. It may be galling to
one’s pride to make this concession, but
truth and justice are bett r than human
respect, and these should be vindicated
at any cost.
