TUESDAY. APRIL 18, 1882
It is stated that Guiteau threatens to
cut Mrs. Scoville off without a shilling.
The outbreak cf smallpox in Atlanta
looks serious. It is sincerely to be
hoped, however, that the present reports
are exaggerated, and that the health
authorities of our sister city may speedily
stamp out the plague.
The Chicago Time* is mean enough to
call attention to the fact that the Na
tional Republican Committee still has
the Hon. Stephen W. Dorsey for its ac
complished secretary, and the L nited
States Marshal is after him with a war
rant.
Speaker Keifer is exciting a great deal
of indignation against himself on ac
count of his outrageous partisaship and
favoritism. It is predicted that a storm
is gathering around him; and when it
bursts he will find himself without any
sympathy.
Stillson Hutchins calls New Hamp
shire the State where they raise poor
corn and great men. It is worthy of
note, however, that Mr. Hutchins is a
native of New Hampshire himself, but
whether or not he was “raised” in that
State is not developed.
The Fall River Herald nominates
Hon. Abram S. Hewitt for the Presi
dency in 1884 It says the Democrata
could'do no better than make him their
standard bearer. Though rich, he is
thoroughly democratic, and is sound on
all economical and social questions.
President Arthur is said to be de
termined to have none but stalwart dele
gates to the next National Republican
Convention, and that he is working hard
to secure this result. The conservatives
will doubtless be on hand, however, and
Mr. Arthur’s faction will hardly be per
mitted to have everything their own
way.
Mr. Keiter’s official stenographer, who
was recently placed in office over Mr.
Hayes—a competent official —because
the latter was a Democrat, it seems is a
complete failure as a short hand repor
ter. However, he fit in the rebellion,
and that is sufficient. Incompetency is
nothing when it conflicts with partisan
ism.
“All things, save a hoop, must have
an end.” The great house of A. T.
Stewart & Cos., which for more than a
quarter of a century has been known
throughout the world, i3 about to close
up and abandon business. Judge Hilton
says that the firm is still doing a profit
able business, but that he is getting old,
and w-:n*s rest. All the manufacturing
establishments of the firm are also of
fered for sale.
Three Mormon missionaries passed
through Sioux City Thursday, on the
way to Minnesota. They are part of a
party of thirty-three missionaries sent
out by the conference recently held in
Ogden. Of the thirty three, twenty two
are going to Europe to labor in Great
Britain, Derm* ark, and Switzerland.
The remainder go to points south and
east in the United States. These thirty
three are an advance guard of about 200
soon to start on a similar mission.
The Republican leaders in Ohio have
become thoroughly frightened at the
outlook in that State, and already they
have drawn up a substitute for the Pond
bill, to which their recent defeat is mainly
attributed, and presented it to the Brew
ers’ and Liquor Dealers’ Associations for
their approval. It repeals the Pond law,
and piovides that a graduated scale of
taxes upon all places where liquor is
sold, varying, according to the amount
of business done, from SSO to $-300. The
Pond law provides that all saloons, big
and little, shall be taxed |3OO.
Senator Hawley's bill, looking to a3
certaining the intellectual and material
progress of the colored race, provides
for a commission of five colored men,
whose duty it shall be to inquire into
and report upon the industrial, intellec
tual and material progress of the colored
people of the United States since the
war, and any and all other information
obtainable of the advancement and per
manent elevation of that race since 1865,
The commission is to submit its report to
the President, who shall communicate
the same to Congress, with any recom
mendation he may think proper to make
in relation thereto.
Wayne MacVeagh is evidently becom
ing conscience stricken, and as a natural
consequence is getting ready to abandon
the Republican ship. At the recent
meeting of the Civil Service Reform As
sociation in Philadelphia, be said: “My
party leaves me in this predicament—it
has but three principles, and I find my
self opposed to all three. Its first great
principle is the spoils system; the second
is opposition to civil service reform, and
the third seems to consist of repudiation
in old Virginia.” This is taken as an
indication that MacVeagh is prepared to
go as far as anybody else in breaking
down the rule of the Republican party in
that State.
A Leadville (Colorado) dispatchs.peak.
iDg of George M. Chilcott, who has been
appointed United States Senator to suc
ceed Mr. Teller, says that he is a resi
dent of Pueblo, and unknown to fame
in or out of the State. In the old terri
torial days of Colorado he was once
chosen as delegate to Congress, but made
no reputation for himself, and since has
only been heard of as an occasional can
didate for the Legislature. His appoint
ment by the Governor will be received
with disappointment throughout the
’ State. Chilcott’s term will expire when
the Legislature meets next winter, and
the present Governor (Pitkin) will be a
candidate. He will have to defeat Ta
bor, who is the nominee of the most
popular and wealthy men of the Stale,
who can afford to spend a couple of mil
lions to beat his opponent, and will not
hesitate to do it
The Nashville Banner speaks solid
truth when it says: “Mr. Arthur has
succeeded in gathering about him a most
extraordinary Cabinet, which is about as
purely a piece of political combination
as was ever made by any President.
Now it remains to see what he will work
out with the instrument in his hands.
He has embodied no ideas, laid down
no principle or policy, and every step
he has taken seems to be a mere
piece of machine politics. He has
shown in every movement the hand of
the New York boss, and the methods of
the metropolitan political manager.
Neither personal nor party success can
now be gained by this sort of policy.
The Democracy will be called on to
take the reins if it can but rise to the
level of its great opportunity, and com
mend itself to the public by a great and
a practical policy suited to the hour and
adequate to the necessities of the day.”
Republicanism vs. Bourbon ism.
An informal meeting of the Republi
can National Committee was held in
Washington on Monday last, at which
the subject of party interests in the South
occupied a great portion of the attention
of the assembled and it was the
unanimous sentiment that a union of the
Republicans in the Southern States
should be effected upon “a broad politi
cal basis.” Asa matter of course, the
the same old twaddle about “a free ballot
and a fair count” was freely indulged in
notwithstanding that a fair count did
not form a very conspicuous doctrine of
Republicanism North or South during
*the Presidential count of ’?6-'77, when
the electoral votes of three Southern
States were stolen for Hayes. Still, with
characteristic sham and hypocrisy, this
old stereotyped expression was uttered
with usual bombast, and it was re
solved that the Southern Republicans
should, in national affairs, antagonize
the principles and policy of the “ Bour
bon Democracy.”
As far as the success of the Republi
can party in the Southern States are con
cerned, the National Republican Com
mittee may as well understand once for
all that they have no hope. That party
has been fully tried in the South, and in
every respect it has been found wanting.
It has proven false to both white and
colored, and shown that it has
no regard for the welfare of either
race. The whites, it tried to rob, and
did rob and plunder, through the me
dium of excessive taxation and reck
less expenditures of the public money in
jobs concocted for the enrichment of
those in power and their special favorites
and pals. The blacks, who had no
property to begin with, it induced to save
up their earnings and deposit them in a
Freedman’s Savings Bank, under the
direct and immediate “protection” of
representative and leading Republican
philanthropists. But having in this way
succeeded in obtaining control of
thousands of dollars in the
segregate, it then turned to and plun
dered the credulous freed men as re
morselessly as it had previously robbed
the defenseless whites. Therefore, among
rich and poor, whether white or black,
in the South, the Republican party is
simp’y an object of loathing. This sen
timent may not be held by all without
exception, but it is so generally preva
lent that Southern Republicanism cannot
hope to make headway against it.
As far as the resolve to oppose the
“Bourbon Democracy in national
effairs” is concerned, it may be
s*ated that the expression “Bourbon” is
simply a catchword invented to mislead
and deceive. Nevertheless it is a term
of which the Democrats need not feel
ashamed. It implies good old-timed
respectable opposition to centrali
zation, monopolies, favoritism, ex
travagance and corruption: It
means that the Democrats are friends
of the primitive teachings of our fore
fathers and the founders of the republic,
who thought it wrong to use government
money for the benefit of personal and
political friends and favorites, or to
repudiate solemn obligations, State or
Federal; that they arc opposed to
monopolies and monopolists, and favor
a government of the people, for the peo
pie, and which will confer the greatest
blessings upon the greatest number—in
short, that they favor old-timed honesty
and economy; are opposed to centraliza
tion and the paternal idea in our govern
ment, and desire to see the whole coun
try generally, without regard to sections
or classes, prosperous and flourishing.
If “Bourbonism” expresses these Dem.
cratic ideas and teachings, then the
country sadly needs more of it. A great
many genuine old Bourbons in the North,
who have forgotten that slavery is abol
ished and the war is over, may be in
fluenced by so flimsy a catchword. The
Rev. Feltons and the Mahones of the
South may roll the term upon their
tongues with high resounding r-r’s until
they are hoarse, and thereby they may
succeed in deceiving the thoughtless and
unwary for a season. The indications
are, however, that the days of Radical
Bourbonism in the United States
are numbered aDd that genuine
Democratic Bourbonism is beginning to
commend itself to popular favor. The
country has had enough of “progress,”
as that word is defined in the Republi
can vocabulary, viz: that the treasury is
an oyster which the favored monopolist or
subsidist may open at will. A return to
active zeal and vigilance in protecting
the people’s interest is what is now far
more to be desired, and the result of the
late election in the West gives token that
the people are awake to their true inter
ests, and are no longer inclined to be ob
scured by cunning politicians.
The Injunction Case.
A telegram from Atlanta states that
the case of W. W. Gordon et. ah, vs. the
Ocean Steamship Company—better
known as “The Injunction Case”—will
not be heard at this term of the Supreme
Court, owing to the indisposition of two
of the Judges, and consequently the
matter will not finally be decided until
September. We learn that the counsel
for the company made every effort
possible to get the bill of exceptions and
record of the case prepared in time for
a hearing at tHis term, and they were
sent to Atlanta on Saturday last. For
the reason above given, however, the
case has been postponed.
Owing to the great interest felt in the
matter in this community, this is to be
regretted. There is, however, really no
reason that we can see why this post
ponement should have any effect what
ever on the value of Central Railroad
stock. Since the Directors of the Ocean
S*eam9hip Company have, severally and
individually, sworn that they have
no intention of issuing any scrip
dividend or debenture which might
in future prove a serious
burden upon their company or the Cen
tral Railroad, the injunction at present
against them simply restrains them from
doing in the indefinite future that which
they declare they do not propose to do at
all. It would seem, therefore, that this
injunction should have no effect cn the
stock of either the steamship or railroad
companies. Still those interested would
doubtless prefer to have the matter de
cided finally as speedily as possible.
The American Register, of New York,
is entirely opposed to the tariff commis
sion bill. It thinks that the example
and precedent of such a commission will
be monstrous, end lead to enormous
abuses and devices to mislead Congress.
It will also organize anew kind of legis
lative tribunal heretofore unknown to
the Constitution and the laws, which
will doubtless cost the government hun
dreds of thousands of dollars. It also
very tiuthfully thinks that Congress has
no right to “farm out to irresponsible
persons the duties of ordinary legisla
tion.”
A church was organized in Chicago
two weeks ago by a company of Social
ists, who call themselves “Self-Savers.”
This church will welcome persons of
any creed or no creed, and will seek to
reconstruct society on a Socialistic basis.
The Star Route Cases.
The New York Evening Post is a Re
publican paper, but, nevertheless, it is
ready to denounce crookedness in its
party whenever such crookedness Is so
very flagrant that it cannot be palliated.
Hence it is of the opinion that Judge
Wiley’s recent adverse decision to the
motion to quash the star route
indictments leaves the counsel for
the defense no further means of
postponing an investigation of the merits
of the cases, and that the technical and
flimsy character of the objections hither
to raised by them furnishes a pretty
strong indication that they have no real
defense which will bear examination by
a jury. The principal points made were
that the defendants had not been bound
over by a commissioner to await the
action of a grand jury, that the cases had
not been properly brought before the
grand jury by the court, that the indict
ments did not make out a case of con
spiracy, but that the acts of the defend
ants, even if made out as charged, were
all legal. These were disposed of with
out much difficulty, and the defendants
then called upon to plead.
But when the defendants were thus
called upon it seems that the chief of
fender was wanting. In fact, S. W.
Dorsey was not in town, and his recog
nizance was declared forfeited. Appar
ently he had been allowed to go at large
on a promise to appear whenever called
upon to do so. He is said to be now in
New Mexico, and whether he comes
back or not must of course depend upon
his view of what is judicious under all
the circumstances of the case. Should
he determine not to return, it will be
tantamount to a confession of guilt, but
such a termination of his case would
certainly be a piece of extreme bad luck
for the prosecution, which has taken a
very great risk in letting him remain at
large without bail.
The Post, while hoping for the best, is
evidently suspicious of the condition of
affairs. It recites an old legal anecdote
of the lawyer who, being assigned by
the court to take charge of a criminal
case, and to give his client the best ad
vice he could, took him aside, and on
hearing his defense opened the window
of the consultation room and pointed
down the road. It does not know that
Dorsey was ever given such advice by
any of his counsel, but it thinks that the
whole conduct of his defense makes
it clear that it is not his “ honor ” or
reputation which he is trying to save,
but his person and property; and when
this is the case, running away is one of
the first methods which suggests itself to
the least ingenious mind. It is im
possible to say yet whether Dorsey has
actually run away “for good,” but the
moral effect of the prosecution hangs s >
much more on the cases against Dorsev
and Brady than on any of the other?,
and their conspicuous connection with
politics affords such a convenient expla
nation for every hitch in the proceedings
against them, that Dorsey’s non-appear
ance tends for a moment to impair the
value of the success of the prosecution In
getting the indictments sustained.
Underground Electric Wires.
The subject of placing telegraph and
telephone wires underground is creating
a considerable amount of interest in the
country at present, a’.d is r ting with
very general approval. Ini ties of any
numerical importance whatever, not
only are these wires becoming so numer
OU3 as to be unsightly objects, marring
the general appearance of such c : ties,
but several instances have been cited of
late to prove that the accumulation of so
many conductors of electricity, all run
ning so closely to each other, are accom
panied with more or les3 danger. Ia
view of all these considerations the
question is now being very generally
asked, “Cannot the wires be put under
ground?”
Mr. Edison, and others regarded as
equally good authority on all electric
matters, say that they can, and we sec
that last week the subcommittee on
cities of the New York Senate—a com
mittee appointed especially to ascertain
the feasibility of placing telegraphic and
other wires under ground in New York
city—devoted considerable time to an
investigation of the subject. The testi
mony elicited was all in favor of the
idea, and it was 9hown that the under
ground system had been successfully
tested abroad. In London the under
ground p’an does not include telephone
wires—these running over the house
tops, but in Paris the government
will not allow overhead wires in
the best part of the city.
Mr. Harrison, of the Metropolitan
Telephone and Telegraph Company, told
the committee that he “walked four
mile3 one day in the sewers of Paris;
they are, in fact, great subterranean tun
nels; the wires are run through the sew
ers in lead pipes fastened to the top of
the arch; a good many of the wires in
the sewers of Paris are used for tele
phones, and, as a rule, they work better
than the telephone wires do here.” It
was shown that Paris had about 17,000
telephone subscribers while New York
only had something like 6 ,500. It was
also shown that three hundred wires
could be put into a three inch pipe.
It is very probable that soon the un
derground system will be adopted in the
largest cities of this country, and per
haps in time even places of the size of
Savannah may enjoy the pleasure of
having electric wires out of sight.
Crops In Southern Georgia.
Our information from all parts of
Southern Georgia represents the crops as
in a most favorable condition. It is
generally believed that the cotton area
has been largely decreased and that of
corn and other provision crops propor
tionately increased. In many sections
the prospect is reported as very fine, and
in a few localities better than ever be
fore. The oat crop, now rapidly ad
vancing to maturity, suffered for
rain in some sections during the early
spring, but the recent rains seem to have
been general and a fine crop is now ex
pected. The truck farms along the
Savannah, Florida and Western Rail
road and its branches arc also reported
in a prosperous condition. In a few in
stances planting was too early without
adequate protection, especially of
melons, but generally the prospect is
good, while in Lowndes, Brooks and
Thomas counties the melon
crop is reported unusually
promising for this season. Of
peaches, apples, pears, figs, plums,
grapes, etc., the prospect is fair, and
with no late frost the country will be
blessed with an abundant crop of fruits.
The greatest difficulty encountered by
the farmers is the scarcity of labor.
Many farms have been curtailed for the
want of field laborers, the lumber and
turpentine business in the pine regions
having drawn away much of the labor
heretofore available.
Representative Belford, of Colorado,
thinks that the reason why members of
his party talk to empty benches when
they discuss the tariff question, is be
cause they never say anything on the
subject worth listening to.

The death of Thomas Robins, of Phila

name and the prosDerity of that institution
have been intimately linked together. The
best proof of his wise management is con

A. T. Stewart & Cos.
In view of the fact that this celebrated
firm is about to close business the follow
ing brief history of the house, taken
from the New York Times, will be in
teresting :
After A. T. Stewart first came to this
city in 1818 he acted as a tutor in various
schools until he reached the age of 21
years. Then he suddenly abandoned
scholastic pursuits and went into the dry
goods business. The spot where he first
offered his wares to the public is un
known. Soon after starting on his new
career the young man was called to Ire
land to receive nearly £I,OOO as his share
of his grandfather’s estate. With this
money he bought a lot of Irish “inser
tions” and “scallop trimmings,” which
were then rarely seen in America,
and brought them with him to this
city. On his arrival here he rented
a little store at No. 283 Broadway,
and offered his new goods for sale. The
store was only twelve feet five inches
wide by thirty feet deep, but in it he laid
the foundations of his future fortune.
Among the then novel business princi
ples which Mr. Stewart put in force was
the maxim that “nothing can need a lie,”
and his clerks were never permitted to
misrepresent a piece of goods. Another
new thing wh : ch Stewart introduced was
the rule of selling “at one price,” with
out deviation. He never sacrificed his
goods, but after placing a price upon
them he adhered to that price, whether
the goods were sold or remained on the
shelves. Another rule which the joung
merchant adopted was “cash on deliv
ery,” and although in later years he
sometimes departed from it, this rule
was the basis of his business. By these
means customers were drawn to the little
Broadway store, and its proprie
tor flourished. Within three years he
removed to a larger and better store,
at No. 262 Broadway, and three years
after that he took still larger quarters at
No. 257 Broadway. In the latter place
he remained seventeen years, steadily
increasing his business, and amassing
what was then considered a very large
fortune. At the end of this period the
wealthy merchant purchased a city lot
at Broadway and Chambers street, and
began the erection of a building that
gradually grew into the immense edifice
now so familiar to all New Yorkers, and
known as “Stewart’s down town store.”
In the same manner was built the “up
town store,” at Broadway and Tenth
street. First one small lot was purchased
and built upon,then another,and another,
until by slow accretions was reared the
pile which now occupies the entire block
bounded by Broadway, Ninth and Tenth
streets, and Fourth avenue. The
"up town store” was made the
retail department of the enormous
business which Stewart bad built up,
while the down town establishment was
devoted to the wholesale branch of the
business. In addition to his city estab
lishments Mr. Stewart had established at
the time of bis death stores or agencies
in Boston, Philadelphia, Paris, Lyons,
Manchester, Bradford, Nottingham, Bel
fast, Glasgow, Berlin and Chemnitz, It
was Mr. Stewart’s custom for many
years to make annual trips to Europe to
personally look after his large interests
there. In addition to these enterprises
he owned or controlled fourteen mills in
various part3 of the country. Besides
the many persons employed in these
mills, Mr. Stewart had in his employ
seven thousand men in this city alone
and about one thousand in Europe.
