The Mississippi Valley Inter-State Conven tion permanently organized at New Orleans yesterday. Governor Wiltz made an ad dress in which he stated the object of the convention and 6aid its members had an op portunity of demonstrating to Congress that beside the great duty and task proposed by them, party issues and personal aspira tions sank into insignificance. Official returns from all the counties in New York, save New York county, which is estimated at 41,376 majority for Hancock, shows the majority for the Garfield electors to be 30,842. The only counties from which protests have been received are Cortlandt, Lewis, Rockland and Schenectady. The number of dead by the burning of the St. Peter (Minnesota) Insane Asylum, it is stated, will not exceed ten. The inmates are now being returned to their homes. A fire in Mobile yesterday destroyed prop erty to the value of $30,000. The largest cargo ever taken from New Orleans passed through the jetties yester day on the steamer Montreal, for Liverpool. On Friday night last the schooner H. W. Morgan was run into by the steamer San Salvador in Chesapeake Bay and sunk. The cases of the Virginia Judges, lately indicted for not putting negroes on their jnriea, came up yesterday before the Uuited States District Court, in session at Danville. Thejiourt ordered a nolle prosequi to be en tered, which order created surprise and ap plause. Mr .Forster, Chief Secretary for Ireland, 6tates that Mr. Gladstone, Mr. Cowper and himself are constantly in receipt of threat ening letters, which be 6ays have now be come bo frequent that but little attention is paid to them. He says that reform in the land laws is imperative. It i6 reported that a landlord owning extensive estates in county Cork has been shot. It is reported that there were serious differences in the Cabinet as to what should be done in Ireland. Mr. Bright is strongly in favor of resisting the adoption of any measures savoring of coercion. The Cabinet was in council yesterdiy over the question whether the policy of relying solely on the ordinary law in Ireland was to be maintained. Sev eral ministers favor the su-pension of the habeas corpus act, but no decision has ye been arrived at. A dispatch from Dallas, Texas, reports much excitement there on account of a gen eral fight between farmers and outlaws within three miles of that city, in which one of the robbers wa3 killed and another se verely wounded. The gang had robbed eleven farmers. Cardinal Jacobinl has been appointed Pontifical Secretary of State. The Pope approves the vieWB of the Irish Bishops in regard to the agitation in Ireland. A compromise has been effected between Russia and the Vatican by means of which vacant sees in Poland will be filled. The construction train on the Dallas and Wichita Railroad went through a tempo rary bridge Tuesday evening and thirteen laborers were wounded. Half of them will die. Judge Jackson was yesterday elected by the State Leglslatare Chief Justice of the Supreme Court, vice Hiram Warner resigned and Judge Martin J. Crawford was elected Second Associate Justice in place of Judge Bleckley. Three Ineffectual ballots for Third Associate Justice were taken, and the balloting was postponed until to-day. The international regatta begins on the Thames to-day. Hanlau declines to parti cipate on the ground that he has won the championship of the world and needs rest. He wants the next battle for the champion ship to take place on Toronto Bay. A Proposed International Monetary Conference. Secretary Sherman writes to the editor of Bullion favoring the holding of an international monetary conference, hav ing for its text a currency based on bill lion “deposits,” a conference which, in liis opinion, would be both expedient and useful. The Secretary has no doubt it “would be of great service iu develop ing opinions and preparing the way for international commercial treaties, by which the relative value of gold and sil ver may be fixed, and in accordance with which certificates of deposits may be issued by the several concurring nations to be used as a medium of international commerce.” One of the chief desires of the Paris conference of 1867 was to bring into use some international coin to ex press a unit of value, but nothing was agreed upon. As it was then, so it now. In the words of Secretary Sher man, “each nation holds so strongly to its own customary coins that it would be extremely difficult to bring about a conference by which any existing coin or any new one that could be devis ed could be used as a common standard The weight and fineness of com alone measures its value in international com rnerce. The stamp of a governmen' can not increase or diminish it. The value of a given weight of gold or silver bul lion may be conveniently measured in the current coin of every country. The only practical difficulties that arise are in fixing the relative value of the two metals, both of which are deemed neces sary for coinage and commercial ex changes. No doubt the bullion certifi cates of any nation of established credit issued alone upon the deposit of bullion to be retained for its redemption, would be universally received as current money in all commercial transactions without being made a legal tender or affecting in any way the local currency of any coun try” ___ ==z== The sawdust which has hitherto accu mulated in such large quantities at Min neapolis and along the Mississippi river below that city offers a promising field of enterprise for whoever will utilize it. Arrangements are said to be made by a French manufacturing chemist for the establishment at that point of a labora tory to extract from the sawdust an acid now imported from France and largely used by dyers, chemists and druggists, It is to be hoped the enterprise will suc ceed, as there is in all the large lumber ing districts of the United States plenty of the raw material to work upon. It is given out that Hon. B. H. Hill is preparing one of the “greatest efforts of his life” in advocacy of a protective tariff. He will find that the people of the South will not take to that “new de parture.” Manufactures at the South have sufficient protection in the natural advantages which we possess over the North, whoae manufacturers, especially of cotton, without protection, would be unable to compete with us. General W. T. Sherman says positively that the stories of his intended retire ment from the active list of the army are unfounded. He will rot be sixty- two, the legal age for retirement, for two years, as he was bora in 1820. General Butler has relieved his mind to a reporter of the Boston Traveller. The substance of tho outpouring is that Tildes is responsible, and that President Garfield will split the Republican party -yit.hin two years. How Their Victims Suffer. The bitter fruits of the exodus have not all been reaped. Terrible as were the sufferings of the negroes in Kansas, Indiana, and other Northern States last winter, theie is a sad prospect of greater privation before these wretched victims of political tricksters. An agent, sent East by Governor St. John, of Kansas, to solicit relief for these unfortunates, stated before a meet ing in New York the other day that ‘the condition of the colored people in Kan sas this winter will be even worse than it was in 1879, when men, women and children died of starvation, and whole families 6lept in the open air. There are now fifty thousand negroes in Kansas— five times as many as last year.” Similar reports come from other sources in Kansas, and the blacks in Indiana are not more happily situated. Only a small proportion of these immi grants a-e able to earn a livmg. Many of them are too old, too young, or too feeble to work. They have been im posed upon by false representations, and have left comfortable homes to find onlj- cold, hunger and general wretchedness, among a people who have no use for them except on election day, and who do not want their women and children at any time. While we commiserate the condition of the unfortunate peopie who have been lured from their comfortable Southern homes to starve and die in the open air and fiosts ind snows of a Northern winter, it is some satisfaction to know that very few of our own Georgia negroes have been duped to embrace such a fate. It is creditable to the intelligence of our Georgia colored population that as a general rule they have too just an ap preciatiou of the opportunities and comforts which they enjoy here to lend a willing ear to the seductive and in credible representations of those who, for their own selfish ends, have sought to enlist them in the exodus movement. Sam Houston’s Loyalty. The romance of the life of Gen. Sam. Houston, ex-Governor, ex Senator, ex- President of Texas, has often been told. The story has been revived in a letter to the Near York Tribune, from the Rev. Dr. Geo. W. Samson, former President of Columbian College, Wash ington, who was Houston’s pastor dur ing his Senatorship. Dr. Samson fully vouches for the authenticity of the story of Houston’s first marriage and his flight to the Cherokee country when he found his bride was really enamored of another, and had wedded him under duress—a piece of such exceptional chiv airy that all who heard of it thought Houston was insane. Dr. Samson con tributes a new anecdote about the old Texan in connection with Lincoln an the outbreak of the civil war. We give it in his own words: “When sece-sion and the war follow ing it came, Sam Houston was almost alone in opposing it, in open words and in direct acts. When in varied compa mes the remark was dropped that Lincoln would not be peaceably inaugurated Houston frankly said: ‘The man that at tempts to prevent it shall walk over my dead body!’ True to his word, when on the day of inauguration videttes were at every street corner where the procession was to pass, close up to the left side of the carriage in which Lincoln sat, with Buchanan on his right, the tall form of Houston, mounted and armed, was seen throughout the whole route, pressing so closely up to the wheels that no man could have passed lietween. Such record should s-1 aside any suspicion that Houston was not in every relation a model of loyalty. Retiring to the bosom of his family he lived two years in yet another political exile; but adored in his family, and not ‘an alien from the commonwealth of the redeemed.’ ” The Next Session of Congress—Proba ble Extra Session. The short session of this Congress will begin on the 6th December and end on the 3d March. Two weeks must-be de ducted from the working time on account of the Christmas holidays, which Con gressmen like to spend at home. Ten working weeks, therefore, are all the time that remains for business. The ap propriation bills will unavoidably con gume a large portion of this time. Almost ail the contested election cases are yet to be considered and acted upon in the House. It is very plain that there will be little opportunity for the transaction of gene ral business, even if there should the best disposition. Under these cir cumstances, it is thought that the Forty seventh Congress will be convened extra session early in March. The Washington Post says: “The Senate will most likely be called together at once, to confirm the new Cabinet and act upon such other nomina lions as the incoming President may de sire to make. It is believed that some action is absolutely necessary at an early day, with regard to the funding opera tions of the national debt The Republi cans refused last session to accept the bill reported by Mr. Wood, from the Ways and Means Committee, to ‘facilitate the refunding of the national debt.’ It was reported on the 18th ot February’and was made a special order immediately after the morning hour, on the first Tuesday in March, and from day to day until dis posed of, to the exclusion of all existing orders. Mr. Wood, and one or two oth er gentlemen, managed to get in speeches on the bill, but no other action was taken, and the bill still retains its place on the calendar. Now, it is argued that, as the Republicans opposed the bill at the last session, when they could not know whether the next House would be Democratic er Republican, they will not permit it to be acted upon in the short session when they have the next House within their grasp. “Tiierejis an absolute necessity for the enactment of some law with regard to refunding, and the Republicans will want to have the credit of originating and passing it. They will not be willing to give a Democratic House the credit of it, when they have a prospect of ori iinating and passing it themselves. Perhaps as patent a reason any advanced is the fact that the Republican majority will very small. If there were a majority of twenty or thirty, there would not be the same necessity for an immediate call for an extra session;.but, in order to guard against all contingencies, the Republi cans will want to organize the House as speedily as possible and make sure all the offices. The Democratic em ployes of the House all have an idea that they will have to prepare to vacate very shortly after the 4th of next March.” Sandwich Island Sugar—The San Francisco Commercial Herald seems to think that the raising of sugar in the Sandwich Islands for export to the United States under the liberal commercial treaty existing between this country and the Hawaiian Government, is likely to be very greatly stimulated by the large profits that may be realized from this industry. At the time the treaty negotiated it was claimed that.25,000,000 pounds of sugar was all that it was likely that the Sandwich Islands would proba bly be able to export to this country in any one year; but it has already in creased to an annual surplus production in the islands of 70,000,000 pounds, with prospects of a very rapid further aug mentatiou in the quantity grown. It is estimated that the reare 500 square miles of sugar laud in the islands that, under proper cultivation, is capable of producing two tons per acre. This, if the estimate is exact, is a yield of 640, 000 tons, or nearly three-fourths as much as the present consumption of sugar in the United States. The Uuited States District Court in New York rendered,last week, an impor tant decision relating to the import duties on sugar. The decision is regarded as a great victory by the sugar importers, and will, if sustained, involve the re funding to them by the Treasury De partment of some five million dollars. Hitherto the duties were levied accord ing to law by the color test, or what is known as the Dutch standard. Some time since Secretaiy Sherman, having reason to believe that gross frauds were being perpetrated by certain importers, required that duties should be levied on certain grades of sugar under a test of saccharine strength. The importers of these grades paid the duties under pro test, and the suit was brought to recover what were claimed as excessive duties paid. The court ordered the refunding of the excessive dutias. The case will probably be carried to the full bench. Are Western Farmers Hoarding Gold?—The St. Louis Globe-JJcmocrat (financial article) remarks: “Muchcom ment has been caused in the East by the fact that the coin and currency sent West last fall and again this year, has not returned to the banks of the New England and Middle States. A very large share of it has been absorbed by the people, and it is safe to assume that the farmers (A tLe Mississippi valley have hoarded not less than $3b,60C.£00 in gold a tape the resumption act went into effect. It is not financiering to keep this money lying idle, but th^re is something very gratifying in the fact that the peo ple are able to hold it at all. A few yeara ago they were compelled to send all their surplus earning3 to their Eastern credi tors, but now a vast majority of the farmers of the older Western States are out of debt and able to lay up money against a rainy day.” An K*idemic in Brooklyn.—The diphtheria is assuming epidemic form in Brooklyn, and the New York Iferald states that in some parts of the city the mortality Is as grpat as it was in Mem phis; during the yellow feye? pestilence. The: Herald says the blame rests upon those tyjio rule Brooklyn, who have neglected proper sanitary precautions against the disease. Within a year Georgia’s valuation has increased $14,000,000. A good showing for her Democratic government.—Boston Post. A society for political education has been formed in New York,with branches in various cities. It is claimed to be non-partisan in character and national in scope, its purpose being to prescribe courses of reading for persons desirous of thoroughly posting themselves theoretical politics, to supply text books of poli ical economy at the lowest rates, and to distribute economic tracts. The Secretary for the Eastern States, from whom all the necessary information can be obtaim d, is Mr. R. L. Dugdale, Fourth avenue, New York. The object of the society is a most laudable one, and we trust will meet with all the success it deserves. The Conkling men profess to believe that Garfield will stand to his bargain and that they are all right, but it is plain to be seen, says the Oswego Palladium that they are getting uneasy in view of certain indications lately cropping out, which look like treachery on the pail of the President elect. The Democratic Party. Boston Post. Nothing astonishes the Republicans so much as the constant and impregnable solidity of the great Democratic party of the American Union. What if it be un successful in regaining the executive branch of the Federal Government, each election for Federal officers since 1840 has shown it to be the majority party of the whole Union when all the States have voted. The recent election is no exception to this rule. This is the more remarkable when we consider the odds against it Take the recent campaign as an example. First—The acting Presi dent and all his Cabinet officers, with many bureau officers, were on the stump, thus notifying all the officials under them, one hundred thousand of them, to do likewise Second—These officers were assessed from the highest to the lowest, aud the large sum collected,added to contributions of hundreds of thousands of dollars from the national banks, from the colossal corporations and monopolies who suck the life-blood of the peop e, and from private individuals and candidates for office. In single Congressional districts it is stated that from fifty to sixty thousand dollars have been expended to elect the Republican nominee. Third—Through the Northern States the Republicans have long been in power, and every officeholder under these Mate governments is simply a lie- publican partisan, while ex Governors, Congressmen, and ex Congressmen, in many cases men whose sole title to con sideration is in “that strong spell—a name,” because of the positions they have had as rewards for partisan ser vice, rather than from any exhibition of intellect or fitness for leadership— pull every wire to keep power. Fourth—Through control of the ballot box through supervisors, and New York marshals, through restrictions on manhood suffrage in some States, and false registration and colonization of voters in others; with all the appliances for fraud reduced to a science through long practice, aud the experience of pro tected tools, like Davenport of New York, with all these and many other wonderful combinations,such as Beecher in the embrace of Bob Ingersoll, and Grant in the embrace of George W. Cur tis at Staten Island, with the surrender of the great Slate of New York to the Republicans last year through the traitor ous infidelity of 'Kelly and his crew, in spite of all these things the grand old Democratic party holds the majority of votes in the whole Union. Our opponents needed all th£se appli ances aud aids to even stagger into the Executive branch of the Federal Gov ernment ; could even one of them have been withheld, or had not traitors plotted against it the Democratic party would once more have won. Great is that party which can stand defeat after defeat, and yet maintain its numbers, its self-respect, and still manfully contend for its princi ples. With the exception of public plun der, what common principle animates the Republican party? Even in hatred of the South it is not united. The Grant stalwart finds no solace in contemplating the poli cy of Hayes. The outs are uncivil to the civil service reformer in office; and the love between the creator of candidate Garfield, Mr. Blaine, aud the leader of the iorces of the defeated Grant was ex emplified in Bob Ingersoll’s characteriza tion Qf Mr. Conkling as the “material ized sneer.” Let this happy family go on with the dance; the Democratic party has ridden through stormier seas than any this year has shown, and will long live, after the Republican party is buried, for it still is the party qf the people. The recent contes. more tfyan ever has been a contest of the people for a govern ment by the people; for the Democratic mrty more than ever has demonstrated tselr to be the party of the people. What has been accomplished has been done by individual effort. What small sums have been collected have been th willing and free contributions of patri otic private citizens, only desirous for the welfare and good government of the whole Union. Office holders, monopolists, and traitors combined were but little too powerful io preyeDi th*i triumph of constitutional principles. Let the Democracy stand shoulder to shoulder. Purge the ranks of traitois; serve a notice oh ell who would desert the grand army of freemen to go pow, nor stand on the order of their going; when the day of deliverance comes, as it surely vil}, no man will regrobthat he stood by the great Democratic party in ita hours of defeat as well as ih 4s hours of victory, SENATOR J. E. BROWN SPEAKS AT DEGIYE’S OPERA HOUSE To an immense and Enthusiastic Audience—He Reviews His Past Political Career, and Forcibly Pre sents His Claims lor the United States Senatorship. Atlanta Constitution. It would be difficult to imagine a more Havering ovation than that which was tendered to Governor Brown last night at the Opera House. The large auditorium was full from the topmost gallery to the last row of seats in the front, and the au dience represented the best elements of Atlanta and of the State. The stage was beautifully docorated with flowers. On one table appeared a pyramid of blossoms in red, white and blue, repre senting the national colors very finely. The Fifth Artillery band was present and its stirring music was highly appreciated. Judge Twiggs introduced Governor Brown very gracefully, and the 8enator was loudly cheered a« he rose. He said: Gentlemen of the General Assemb’.y, Ladies and Gentlemen—I appear before you to-night under circumstances of some embarrass ment. I shall have to beg your indulgence if I economize what strength of voice I have. I appear before you as a candidate for the high office of United Stites Senator. I had not Intended to make any such speech as thb, but my opponent, General Law- ton, ha6 made an elaborate speech, in which he has assailed with some bitterness my character: and General Toombs has done the s-ame thing, and he has been fol lowed by Mr. Black, of Augusta, who, I be lieve, has followed the same line. I was somewhat disappointed in reading my op ponent’s able speech to find thar, while he assaiied my qualifications for this office, he dfd not see 11' to lay down the policy which he would pursue if elected. [Ap plause.] I haa hoped that the differences of 1868 were buried as the differences of Whiggery and Democracy are buried. But my oppo nent has seen fit to go back to those days, and I shall refer to them. General Lawton says I recently referred to Mr. Hill as fhe grandest orator in the United States Senate [Applause ] There repeat ft. [Applause.] But be says that Ben Hill exhausted his ora’ory In his denunciation of me. Mr. Hill is a man of strong feelings. He was confident that he was right and I was con fident that 1 w&3 right. [Applause.] Mr. Hill was the first of the great men of the State who declared that he believed the amendments to the constitution were fixed facia. [The speaker here read from Mr. Hill’s addresses and letters to prove that this assertion was true.j He then drew contrast between the liberality of Mr. Hill and the present course of General Law- ton and elicited applause by the contrast. Mr. Hill was just ten years ahead of Gen eral Lawton, my opponent. [Applause.] General Lawton says I committed a grievous error in accepting tbtse measures so early. He treats it as a mark of disrespect to our dead heroes to accept these measures in 1868. But in 1872 the whole Democratic party of the Union accepted them. At what period between these two dates did it become proper for us to accept these issues? He ought to have pointed out the exact time when it ceased to be a crime. I desire to read you & letter from a distinguished gentleman, which follows the same line which I adopted in 1807. Dawson Walker and I consulted the leading men at Wash ington then, and they all advised us that the policy of reconstruction was inevitable General Lawton sa^ s I, at least, ought to have been silent. Others might have done so; but I owed all 1 was to the people of Georgia. Born of an humble origin, they had taken me by the hand and ied me for ward, until they put the helm of State in my hands and gave me their confi dence, which, no matter what my defamers say, I feel that I have never betrayed. [Cheers ] At this time, iu ail their per plexity, after a disastrous war and the los6 of nearly all, the people said to me: “Watch man, what of the Dlght?’’ I would not skulk back, and from fear of losing civ popu larity, refuse to speak. [Applause.] Friends advised me to wait. But I paid: “No, I will tell them the truth if I sink under it.” [Renewed applause.] I advised the people to go to the polls aud elect the best men we had to the convection; that we get the best constitution we could, and get back into the Union as soon as possible. For this I was denounced all over the State. Senator Brown then rea l a letter from Robert E. Lee, which outlined the seme policy as he had advised. The reading of the letter was enthusiastically applauded. Lexinoton, Y'a., April 3. 18-8.— My Dear Ala jor: I have read with the attention the sub ject demanded the article inclosed in your let ter of the 23d uito. I think there can be no doubt in the minds of those who reliect that conventions must be held in the Southern States under the Sherman bill, that the peop e are placed in a position where no choice in the matter is left them, and that r is the duty of all who may be entitled to vote to attend the polls and endeavor to elect the best available men to represent them and to act for the inter ests of their States. The division of the people into parties is greatly to be reprehended and ought to be avoided by the willingness on the part of everyone to yield minor points in order to secure those which are essential to the gen eral welfare. Wisdom also dictates that the decision of the conventions should be cheer fully submitted to by the citizens ofjeacb State, who should unite in carrying out its decrees in good faith and kind feeling. As I am relieved from the necessity of deciding how to act, I think it safer to leave to those who have to bear the responsibility the decision of the questions involved, without embarrassing them with the opinions of those who do not feel this responsi bility. Under these circumstances, and for reasons which I am sure you will understand, I have a great reluctance to obtrude ray opinions upon the public, and must therefore request that you will not publish my letter, which has been written out of my kind regard for yourself. Very truly yours, R. E. Lee. Here Governor Brown was handed a mag nificent bouquet, which he gracefully re eeived. He said although this letter contained a request that it should not be published, his friend to whom he wrote it thought that at so late a period it was not amiss to publish it as it showed the great jadg“ment that great hero. [Great cheering and ap plause.] Several bouquets fell on the stage and were gracefully acknowledged. The speaker contrasted the advice of General Lee and General Lawton very forci bly. General Lawton says Georgia refused to follow my advice and soon got out of her difficulty. That other Southern States fol lowed my advice and suffered unrold woe. The very reverse is true. I advited you to go to the polls and eiect the best men we could. The others said, “Fold \ our arms. Touch not, taste not, handle not the unclean thiDg.” South Carolina, Florida and Lou- rlaua followed this advice, and up to 1876 these States groaned under the yoke. Thirty odd thousand white men in Georgia took my advice and went to the polls and elected to the convention good men. Some of them were Judge Parrot, Doctor Miller, Colonel L. N. Trammell, II. K.. McKny, James D. Waddell, T. P. Saffold, Albert Foster, Madison Bell, Judge Bigby, Colonel Mailer, Mr. Dews. Mr. Field of Murray, Doctor Foster of Paulding. David Irwin. A. W. Holcombe, John II. Flynn, AmosT. Aker- man and others. These gentlemen took General Lee’s advice and got the best con stitution they could. Georgia soon regained prosperity, and to day she floats a four per cent, bond whenever she wants to borrow money. What other Sou : hem 8tate can do It ? Not the Stages which adopted my oppo nent’s policy. He is reported to have said that foreignjpowers might have interfered if we had only held out. At the highest de of our victory foreign powers refused to recognize even belligerent rights in us. I am arraigned as an ardent secessionist. It is m? nature to be ardent. What I do do with my might. [Cheers.] Why ar raign me as a secessionist, when there were so man}? [Cheers.] By the way, they are _ tting very scarce now; for when I said in The Senate that I was ■ ne, some of the Senators said: “We are glad we have seen one secessionist.” [Laughter and cheers.] In the support of the war I did all that 1 could. I never threw an obstacle iu the President’s way, but whenever he called on me for troops I gave more than was asked for. I did more than any other Southern Gov ernor. I called out 10,000 men and boys from 55 to 16, and while they were In the trenches in front of Atlanta with that hero Joseph E. Johnston 1 was asked to withdraw them, and l refused to do so, and after Lee surrendered 1 surrendered 5,000 of them to Wilson at Macon. That’s the way I hin dered the Confederacy. My conduct in this matter was approved by Stephens and Toomb6, and why doesn’t my opponent attack them? Because neither of them are in bis way in this matter. Mr. Stephens has been pressed to be a candi date. I wrote him a Irank letter on the question, and he replied in a letter in which he said he had refused to be a candidate, and, in no event, would be antagonize me. [Cheers.] The men who bore the hardships and dan gers of the camp didn’t believe I was a traitor to the Confederacy, for they Indors ed me for Governor over two candidates, and the eoidierg swelled my majority from Convention that I would go with them as 1 had in 1872, but I couldn’t swallow their platform. They said “why ? I B&id “because I never was devoted to these amendments, though they were forced on me.” [Great cheering.] Mr. Tilden was elected President. [Chee.a] A question was raised on the count in Loui.-iaca, Flori da and South Carolina, and if those States had adopted my policy there would not have been any returning boards, and we would have been at the end of a Democratic ad ministration instead of at the beginning of another Republican administration. [Cheers.] It has oeen ^aid that some of the Demo crats are afraid to tract me. Samuel J. Til deD, by a friend, telegraphed me to go to Florida in 1S76, and when hardly able to travel I went there and staid there a month at my own expense. General Lawton was there for a day or two. and went home as a friend says, to attend to private business. After I returned home, and when I lay very feeble, Abram S. Hewitt telegraphed me to return to Florida and take control of the Democratic case there. It seems that he could trust me. [Cheer*] In 1SS0 we nomi nated Hancock, [cheers] who in his letter of acceptance indorses thUamendmeu's as in violable. General Toombs, speaking for General Lawton, says they are null and void. In the late campaign Mr. Barnum wrote me and begged me to go to Indiana and help them in the late campaign. I could not go and I regret it. But it seems that the Democratic Committee was not afraid to trust me. [Applause.] General Lawton arraigns me because I readily accepted the amendments. He, therefore, seems to hardly Indorse them now. If this is the case, how can he do so much for you in Washington? How much good could he do with a Republican Presi dent, a Republican House and the Senate a tie? I am Iu favor of burying old issues in the grave where our heroes are buried. I lost two brothers in that struggle. One fell charging a Federal battery almost in s ght SLIGHTLY MIXED. How Two Political Speakers Got Into the Wrong Meetings. San Francisco Post. The following good joke, in which worthy member of the bar. Judge F. figures, is worth}’ of space. It is a tale of Watts’ tract, a suburb of Oakland, of political meetings, or disgusted speakers, and enraged audiences. The political caldron of Waits’ tract had for weeks been boiling over. Meetings had been held night.y, and the best of local speakers had tried to enii.hten the intel ligent people of the tract. The success of Democrats and Republicans alike was so dubious that both parties, by a singu lar coincidence, resoived to hold a grand mass meeting, appointing the same evening, and both parlies called on the State Central Committee in this city to send them over an orator. The meetings were set for Wednesday evening last. At an early hour on that evening Jud._,e F, who had consented to speak at the tract, boarded a ferry steamer, as did also a noted Republican orator. The Judge had been cautioned by the Democratic committee to draw it mild, as the Republicans of the tract were weakening, and if their party was not abused too much they could be won over. The Republican orator had also been warned that the party over there needed bracing up, and that the Democ racy must be denounced in unmeasured terms. Walts’ tract was reached in due time, and the politicians separated, the Republican to seek his party’s gathering and Judge F. to find the Democratic wigwam. This was, as he supposed, soon found. The hall was blazing with of where 1 cow stand. I revere their memo- j lights, while in front bonfires glared, and ry, and shall teach my children to venerate their memory ana the memory of ail the heroe6. My opponent says we want a Senator who represents the sentiments of Georgia. There is a sentiment in Georgia I do Dot represent. It is the sentiment of that aristocratic class which lived high and taught their children to love to rule. But I believe I represent the laboring classes of the State. I have had a hard life. I have had to work my way up, and I am a little too much worn for a man under sixty. There was a terrible howl raised when Governor Colqnilt appointed me to the Sen ate. They said they were going to beat Colquitt with a negro for appointing me. General Lawton took the slump agrinst him and made the staple of his speeches the ap pointuient of myself to the Senate. And I can safely say that in every county where he spoke, except Chatham, his own county. Colquitt had an overwhelming majority. [Cheers.] Governor Brown showed that where the test of his popularity was made in Fulton, Cobb and Bartow the “Brown” ticket was overwhelmingly elected. Id Coweta, out of 1,400 tickets indorsed for Senator, at the request of the candidates, over 1,200 were marked “Brown.” [Cheers] And 60 I may go on and show that I may claim the Sena torship from you to morrow, for a majority of 55,000 of tne people have declared that they desire ray services. [Cheers ] Gene ral Toombs arraigus me as : he head of the Bullock administration, am] said tome hard things against me. Why didn’t General Toombs appear to prosecute Bullock and Blodgett? There are no commissions in criminal cases. [Laughter.] He volun teers sometimes for the cjmmouweallb. He got into the railroad cases 6om*>bow, and got fees somewhere between $20,000 and $50,000. [Cheers. J I am arraigned as a secessionist. Who was the most brilliant and powerful seces sionist in the South ? General Toombs. We got into it, but after it was ovSV I thought we had better build up the waste places and do the best we could. General Toomb) doesn’t think t>o, and he declared the other night that these amendments were still null and void If I go back to the Senate I 6hall not ox pect to sit and fold my arms and represeni the sentimentality of the Statue. [Cheers.J I shall try to go to wotU and help my people in any way that I can. I shall do all that I can to encourage our agricultural resources. I shall endeavor to aid in the development of our mineral re?ources. I shall endeavor to encourage manufactures and to maintain the proper balance between manufactures and agriculture. Cotton manufacturing will be one of the grand industries of the future. We are better prepared for this work than the North. We have advantages of climate. Coal as cheap, labor cheaper, aud the ma terial at our very doors. I have the educational question very much at heart. Disguise it as you may, the New England States, with their schools aud universities, have dictated laws to this continent. They have seut New England ideas all over the West and they dominate there. Look at Prus>ia, that little empire over which Napoleon rushed aDd almost obliterated it. Hardly a generation passed before it had in turn humbled France and taken the power from its empire. The bright eyed boys in your mountains and wiregrass may represent you nobly before the world If you educate them. We must also educate the colored race, and they ought to be educated for the benefit of the Union, and by the friends of the Union. [Applause] I would devote the proceeds of the public lands to this purpose on a basis of illiteracy. The colored people are ciiizens and we must do them justice. I predicted in 1868 that the New England Stares would, In ten years, be tired of negro suffrage. When I was in Florida in 1876, the leader of the Republicans there said: Damn the negro. We made a mistake in giving him suffrage.” [Laughter.] Let U6 give them every legal right. Social rights will t3ke care of themselves. They are the best laborers you will ever have in your cot ton fields. [Applause] General Lawton makes the geographical argument on me. I don’t think he ought to abuse me for Jiv ing In Atlanta, for my first act in the Senate wa6 to restore an appropriation of $10,000 for the harbor of Brunswick. I tried to help Savannah too, and I helped Chatham county. I am not exactly from Atlanta. I am from Gaddestown. [Laughter.] It is about there that they say that I ploughed the bull. [Laughter.] The speaker humorously alluded to the fortune of the mountain districts, and said General Lawton had established a summer residence at Mount Airy. The reason why the Ninth district is 60 fortunate is because Gaddestown is in it. [Laughter.] He then showed the great good which could be done by making the rivers of Geor gla navigable and improving the harbors. He showed the folly of General Toombs idea of never asking for an appropriation. This idea gave the North wealth and the South the honors before the war. Which proved the more valuable? We mus* adopt some new notion. The world moves and I am in favor of moving with it. [Cheers. Governor Brown then alluded to the charge that he gave Incendiary advice to the negroes In 1868, and said that he poured oil on the troubled waters at the risk of his own life. I believe the warning I gave then saved great trouble. What interest have I in betraying Georgia? The people say I have wealth. I have never conducted an enterprise that failed—1 never paid a debt for less than one hundred cents in the dollar, and I hope I never shall. [Cheers.] My father and mother, and sis tors and brothers, rest ia her soil, and I ex pect soon to sleep there. I have been abused and maligned for speaking the truth, but— a band of music aided in making night hideous. In walked Judge F., intro duced himself as the speaker lrom the State Central Committee, aud was in turn presented to the audience as the orator of the evening. After the applause had subsided, Judge F. cleared his voice and began, lie spoke uot too abusively of the “infamous course of the Republicans,” and finally rounded a sentence with a grand peora tion to the Democracy. Then he paused for breath and for applause. But oh, amazement! There was not the slightest expression of satisfaction—not a single cheer was heard. Instead, a dozen audi tors arose, pulled up their coat collars, put on their hats and left Again and again did the Judge attempt to fire the hearts of those before him, and on each occasion did small groups get up and meander sadly and silently out of the hall. Finally, with but a handful of spectators before him, be closed the most discouraging effort of his life with scathing denunciation of the Republi cans, and an appeal to all to join the De mocracy. The effect of this, although magical, was faT different from that ex pected. Up rose the remnant of the au dience and swarmed upon the platform with indignant faces, while the Chair man, with ill concealed contempt and in sneering tones, demanded of the speaker if he had ever spoken in San Francisco? Oh, yes; very often,” was the re sponse of the wondering Judge. “Why do you ask?” “Aud have you expressed the same opinions given this evening?” “Yes, sir,” again responded the orator. “And were they well received?” “Al ways ; but, look here, what’s the mean ing of this?” demanded the now indig nant Judge. “Meaning! The meaning is that, in the opinions of us Republicans, you Republicans over the bay have got the politics that we ever heard of!” “Me a Republican?” fairly yelled the Judge; and then, realizing for the first time that he had made a mistake, and had been addressing a Republican gathering, the eloqueut orator seized his hat, and, without waiting to explain matters, made for the depot. Here the irate and fuming orator again encoun tered his Republican friend; but oh, what a contrast the figure before kim- which looked as though it had been run through a quartz mill—presented to the gentlemanly looking orator of an hour before! His story was a pitiful one. “You see, Judge,” said he, “when I left you, I found my way to what I sup posed was a Republican meeting. I was introduced and mounted the stand, and opened up by pouring a broadside into the unterrified Democracy and the solid South. I did not notice signs of the athering storm in the faces before me, or I might have saved myself. When I finished my opi ning burst of eloquence, a shout aro'se from a hundred throats, and then there was a rush for the platform, and I was seized by a dozen men, the window was thrown up and I felt my self shot out into the air, and knew noth ing more until I came to in the branches of a tall oak, into which I had miracu lously fallen. Talk about the turbulent Democracy and the quarrelsome work ingmen; all I have to say is this, Judge, that them Watts tract Republicans beat them all.” The Judge softly smiled, winked to himself, and then hypocritically offered condolence, but very wisely kept his counsel. A DREAM. BY JERALD CLIFTCN. Ah, to be across the seas Where the sum ner-scented breeze Murmurs mid the leafy trees, And a silent sea Plashes on a silent shore: Where to dwell forevermore Until love and life are o’er. Peaceful life would be. Such a vision meets my gaze: Glia - ens through a dreamful haze. Though the mik o? these dark days Hides it from ray view. Yet a touch of love supreme Lights the mist with sunny gleam. In the lamp of which I dream Love shall e'er be true. There shall life begin anew, 'Neath such skies of azure blue Love could be naught else but true. An I its lights shall gleam. Driving from our fair domain These dark days of mist and rain.

Dr. Haviland recently read au interest ing paper before the London Medical Association, contending that valleys are troughs or receptacles of disease, and that the mortality in them is greater than in more elevated localities. He asserts that valleys are hotbeds for rheumatism, which is often followed by heart disease. The reason assigned for this opinion is that the fresh air, so impor tant to vigorous animal life, finds no easy entrance to these pent up localities. The wind blows over them, instead of through them, and emanations of all kinds cling to the soil instead of lieing dispersed in the regions of upper air. | 250 pairs good quality KID GLOVES—Nos. 5$£, This may be seen m the btates of Con-1 6 and 014 oulv—at esc. necticut and Massachusetts, where mala-1 150 Embroidered LINEN HANDKERCHIEFS rial fever and ague are prevalent along j the rivers and large mill stream=, while in the purer air of the hilly and moun-1 tainous districts these diseases are com paratively unknown.

[Great and continued cheering;.] There was a perfect rush of friends to congratulate the Governor and another sup ply of flowers weighted down the tables. Governor Brown then said he had received the following telegram from one of the best and finest men in the State. It was read by Mr. Julius L. Brown, and was heartily cheered. It was as follows: Savannah, November 15, 1880. - Returning home have just opened your letter too late to reply by mail. In the conversation referred to you used arguments afterwards addressed to public. In addition you said that unle-s some one should pursue the course you contemplated, you saw that great evil would result to our people; that you felt it your duty to pursue that course, but believed that you would proba bly be sacrificed; that you were prepared to make the sacrifice, looking alone to the pro tection of your race against the peculiar dan gers before it. Thisjbriefly is my recollection of the conversation. You can publish if you desire. H. R. JiCKSON. One of Ragbag’s Practical Jokes. Mr. Ragbag found himself seaied in a theatre next to old Deacon Pan, and that’s why a terrible row resulted not long ago. Young Heels is a great man to bet, and is also a stranger to the Dea con. During an entr’ acte, Ragbag met Heels and said to him: “Heels, don’t you want to make five dollars ? ’ Heels replied that nothing would afford him greater pleasure. “ VV'ell,” said Ragbag, * ‘I’ve got a seat next to a man who has got a wooden leg. On the other side of me sits the greatest man to bet in the country. You take this brad-awl and go and take my seat and offer to bet the man on your left that the man on your right is so absorbed in the play that you can stick this brad awl into his leg and he won’t notice it. The man will take your bet. Watch your chance and when the man on your right isn’t looking, jab the awl into his leg. As it is a wooden leg, he won’t notice it, and you’re the money in.” Heels accepted the proposition, took the brad awl and went to the seat. He proposed the bet to the man on the left and he eagerly accepted it. Heels was shaking with laughter to think how surprised the fellow would be to see him stick that awl into the other man’s leg and see that the other man did not notice it. It seemed awfully funny. He watched his chance. The Deacon was leaning forward to see if one of the ballet girls was going to kick the chande lier down, when Heels let drive. The awl must have gone two inches into the Deacon s leg. It wasn’t a wooden leg, either, and the way the old man jumped was ahead of auythmg he expected of the performers. The yell he gave was distinctly heard out on the street and drew the entire atten tion of the audience. “You murderous villain!” he roared, “what did you do that for ?” “i—I—thought—it was wooden,” replied the horrified Heels. Thought it was wooden ? Thought be hanged!” cried the Deacon, as he pound ed Heels over the head with a cane. A policeman came in and arrested Heels and took him to the station, where later he was called upon by the man who wanted $5 in payment of the bet The Deacon was conveyed home and Ragbag went to his room where he rolled for two hours upon the floor in an agony of mirth. Heels eays Ragbag won’t laugh so much when he gets at him.

The first vote I evtr cast was for the De mocracy, and I never voted any other ticket until 1868, when the Democratic party had platform which would have brought ruin and revolution on us.
