and the one man power.
Mr. Grover Cleveland, the nominee of
the New York Democrats for Governor,
is alluded to as a “new, cleaD, capable
young man.” They sadly need a
“clean” young man in New York poli

In the city of Pittsburg alone, where
the oil trade is small compared with oth
er places, the amount of money involved
in oil speculations last week is estimated
at $16,943,050. The total sales footed
up 21,862,000 barrels.
Mr. Charles W e-s-s o 1 o-w-s k-y is the
opponent of Hon. Henry G. Turner in
the Second Congressional district of
Georgia. After his crushing defeat in
November he will probably apply to the
Legislature to change his name to Smith.
The young Democracy of Chatham
county was fully represented at the mass
meeting last night. We have never before
sejn at a political gathering in Savannah
so many intelligent young men assembled
together. This of itself augurs success
for the ticket.
The Atlanta Constitution advises the
Democrats of Chatham county to har.
monize their differences. The Demo
crats are ready to go into an harmonious
canvass, but their terms are uncondi
tional surrender of the bolters and a
promise that they will never do so again.
Mr. Sylwyn Zadoc Bowman, of Somer
ville, Massachusetts, recently alluded to
Secor Robeson as “the father of the
American navy.” Well, the child cer
tainly resembles its parent in a great
many particulars. It has absorbed a pile
of government money and is mighty un
re’ iable.
If the meeting at the Theatre last night
indicates anything, it shows that the or
ganized Democracy has in no wise been
impaired by the ill advised bolt of the
bossist party, and that on election day it
will assert itself in all its solid power to
express the fundamental truth of Demo
cracy—the good of the many and the
welfare of the whole.
Bill Chandler has not been cruising
around in a government ship all sum
mer for nothing. He has, it is said, im
proved the opportunities thereby pre
sented him to lay his pipes for the New
Hampshire Smatorship. The great point
about all this, is that Bill E. has been
able to do his electioneering at little or
no cost to himseif.
The great Newburgh poker game case,
of which so much has been said, has
been satisfactorily compromised. Weed,
the victim, having accepted $20,000 in
satisfaction of his ciaims. Deducting
this from the sums he had previously
paid the winners leaves his net losses about
$70,000. This is a sufficiently large sum
to be an inducement for General Schenck
to still desire to settle in Ne yburgh.
The nomination of Mr. Meldrim for
the State Senate by the Democratic mass
meeting at the Theatre last evening
shows that the Democracy of Chatham
are inflexibly determined to put down
bolters and bossists. Mr. Rawls would
make a good Senator, but, unfortunately,
he is not the nominee of the Democratic
party of this Senatorial distnc f , and we
hope he will see his position and with
draw.
The line has now been fairly and
squarely drawn between the bolters and
the organized Democracy. The bolters
are running a schedule of self, and it is
boasted that they are carried to the pol’s
in the pockets of their leaders by the hun
dreds. The organized will go to the
polls with the motto: “Not for self, but
for the eternal principles of truth and
right —pro bonopublico."
The professions, the agricultural and
the mechanical and industrial interests
of Savannah and Chatham county are
respectively represented by the ticket of
the organized Democracy of the county.
There is not on the ticket a politician or
& demagogue. It truly represents the
intelligence, dignity of labor and pro
gressive improvement of the county. It
will receive the warm support of every
good citizen and enlightened, intelligent
and conscientious voter.
The St. Louis Republican takes the
ground that it is all folly for Jay Gould
to trv and get possession of the Associated
Press of the country. No one man can
control the news in his own interest, for
the very moment it is known that he does
do so, that moment the news he fur
nishes will be regarded as totally unreli
able. Hence the Republican is right If
Mr. Gould should secure the Associated
Press it would probably be in the hope
of breaking up the organization.
Having started, under such favorable
auspices, the grand work of redeeming
the Democratic party of Chatham county
from the taint of disloyalty to its time
honored principles, let all the voters who
-were present last night at the Theatre
devote their exclusive time on election
day to their practical enunciation. Let
us show by oar works the faith that is in
ua, and firmly put the seal of condemna
tion on the spirit of personalism that
seeks to disintegrate if it cannot control.
The Democratic Mass Meeting Last
Nigtit.
A full report of the mass meeting of
the Democracy of Chatham county,called
last evening to take action upon the
withdrawal of Messrs. Estill and Ballan
tyne from the legislative ticket which
had been placed in the field by the party
on the evening of the 18th inst., is pul
lished elsewhere. It was, in every sense
of the word, one of the most enthusiastic,
most intelligent and most thoroughly
representative meetings which has ever
been held in this or any other State of
the Union.
The action of the gentlemen named in
withdrawing was received with sincere
regret. As the committee appointed to
nominate candidates in their places
stated in its report, it was the intention
of the party to have stood by them to
the last, despite the fact that the Execu
tive Committee had, at its meeting on
Wednesday, virtually indorsed the
action of the so called Sena
torial Convention at Eden in
recognizing the delegation of bolters
who, after withdrawing from the party,
had impudently arrogated to themselves
the title of Democrats and had claimed
seats in that convention—and thus had
thrown the onus of the campaign upon
their shoulders. It was resolved, how
ever, not to permit the bolters, notwith
standing that they had control of the
Executive Committee as at present con
stituted, to defeat the party, and anew
ticket was decided on.
This ticket consisting of Messrs. George
S. Owens, J. J. McDonough and Robert
Falligant was enthusiastically indorsed
by the meeting, and lit is one of excep
tional strength. It represents every
class and element of the community,
and will win. The bolters, we learn,
were, yesterday morning, highly elated
at the resignation of the gentlemen pre
viously selected as Democratic standard
bearers in the county campaign,
regarding it as a surrender to
bossism. We opine that this morn
ing they will sing a different
tune. The Democracy have presented
a ticket against which no possible cavil
or objection can be raised. There is not
a Democrat in this community who will
not be ashamed to have it known that he
voted against it. Its election will up
hold the dignity, honor and intelligence
of the people, and maintain the integ
rity and supremacy of the Democratic
party of old Chatham—the banner Demo
cratic county of the Empire State of the
South. Its triumphant success is a fore
gone conclusion.
Oar Nominees.
The Democratic ticket put out by the
organized Democracy last night is
invincible. It embraces all the elements
that wins political victories. Captain
Robert Falligant is the peer of any man
in the State intellectually. Unswerving
in bis political principles, he is eloquent
and enthusiastic in maintaining them,
and is filled with zeal and love for his
State and the best interests of his commu
nity. Mr. George W. Owens is one of
Chatham’s most intelligent gentlemen,
an agriculturist in whose hands that
interest of our county may be safely
placed. Mr. J. J. McDonnough is the
representative of the true greatness of
labor, a man to whom all classes of
our community can point with pride,
and in whose person the dignity of the
working man is well represented.
These are the three gentlemen who
will truly represent every interest of our
community, and who wiil be elected to
the positions for which they have been
nominated by the organized Democracy
of Chatham county.
The Baltimore Sun announces that a
gentleman who has just returned to that
city from the cotton States reports
the prospects of the South as never
brighter than at present. He says the
cotton crop may suffer some injury from
the rains, but the planters consider that
the higher prices will more than
compensate them for any loss
they may incur from this cause.
He states that the most remarkable
feature of the year is the great breadth
the planters have given in the cultiva
tion of the cereals. It is estimated that
they will not only have enough bread
stuffs for home consumption, but a
large surplus for export. “One planter
iu Georgia known to our informant,” says
the Sun, “who had gone this year for the
first time into the raising of wheat, corn
and oats on a large scale, stated that be
had made thirty thousand bushels of
wheat and sixty thousand bushels of
oats. What his corn crop would turn
out he did not then know. Success like
this is a proof of the advantage the
cotton States will derive from mixed
f inning. Instead of devoting their
efforts exclusively to the production of
cotton and depending upon the West for
their supplies of breadstuffs, the pros
pect is that they will not have hereafter
to depend on the Western granaries,
although in respect to salt meats they
will be purchasers for some time yet to
come.”
Hon. James H. Hopkins, of Pitts
burg, Pa., in a letter accepting the
Democratic nomination for Congress in
the Twenty-second district of Pennsyl
vania, writes:
“Cameronism. which has so long
cursed Pennsylvania, has spread its bale
ful influence into other States. It is
Mahoneism in Virginia, Conklingism in
New York, and has other names else
where. It is now known by the general
term of ‘bossism.’ It means the corrup
tion of the individual voters, the de
bauching of the legislators, the purchase
of offices and their prostitution to per
sonal ends. Tyrannical and insolent,
recognizing no merit but truck
ling and subserviency, crushing
all aspirations that are not sub
o.dinated to servile allegiance to the
chief, it has. to an alarming degree, de
stroyed private virtue and public purity.
It has taught and practiced the debasing
doctrine that office is not a public trust,
but merely a machine for controlling
conventions and caucuses under the
name of assessment. It has plundered
the office holders and caused them in
turn to plunder the public treasury.
Land grants and subsidies.expeditedstar
routes and river and harbor bills are fa
vored, methods of raiding the treasury
for the benefit of those who lend their
services and contribute liberally to per
petuate the rule of the ring.”
Here is presented a graphic and strik
ing picture of boss ism in its true hide
ousness. Let the voters of Chatham
county look thereon and seriomly re
flect
The average South Carolina colored
citizen is, it is said, struck dumb with
terror at the comet, and his first impulse
is to flee from the wrath to come. When
the average colored citizen sufficiently
improves in intelligence to understand
that comets are very harmless things
(much less hurtful than Radicalism), he
will be ready to vote the Democratic
ticket. Those who have already pro
gressed to this extent are even now good
Democrats.
Let the bolters return to the fold be*
fore it is too late. The lamp will hold
out to burn until next Wednesday.
Two great evils—headache and constipa
tion, afflicting nearly all humanity, are
relieved by Bailey’s Holine Aperient.
Principles and Men.
The people and the Democracy
Chatham county should bear in miad
that in the present legislative campaign
they are engaged in no ordinary contest-
If ‘it were simply a party coutest it would
be only necessary to remind them of the
time-honored Democratic motto, “Prin
ciples, not Men.” But in this contest,
where Democratic supremacy and the
sovereignty of the people are both able
at stake, we can well urge upon them to
adopt the motto “Principles and Men.”
That Democratic principle in its high-
est sense is involved, there can be no dis
pute. When the party held its first
meeting at the Theatre last Monday
week, the ruling spirit that controlled
its action was opposition to bossism and
the dictation of one man. They felt that
it was degrading to their manhood that
any one citizen or any ring of citizens in
this community could have the power
to thrust a cut and dried programme of
his or their own preparation down the
throats of the free sovereign voters of
this enlightened community. They de
termined, therefore, not to submit to
any such tyranny, and they resolved to
assert themselves and their rights and
power. They did so, and the result
is well known. The opposition, when
they found themselves defeated so over
whelmingly, should, like good citizens
and good Democrats, have cheerfully
yielded acquiescence to the will of the
majority. But, no. They had waxed
fat, and they kicked. So long as they
cculd not rule they determined, if possi
ble, to ruin, and so they arrogantly defied
the Democratic party, placed a ticket of
their own in the field, and flung down
the gage of battle. The Democracy of
Chatham promptly took it up, and now
it remains with them to decide whether,
after so doing, they will go down before
their enemies, or whether they will
rise in their might and force
these enemies to fall on their
knees and sue for terms of
peace. If the Democracy of Chatham
determine to make their power felt they
can do so. If they assert their strength,
it must prove invincible against factious
opposition.
But in addition to this ques
tion of Democratic principle, the
interests of the community are involved
in this campaign, and, in this connection,
it is incumbent upon the voters to con
sider also the personnel of the ticket pre
sented to them by the Democratic party.
On this ticket are gentlemen whose
ability and fitness for the Legislature
cannot be questioned. They are property
holders and therefore are personally in
terested in the welfare of the count*.
They are representative men, thew
fore, and understand fully tne
wants of every class of our
citizens. They are intelligent men,
and are therefore capable of making
laws suitable to the necessities of the
community in which they live. They
will not legislate specially for any one
individual, nor for any one class of
individuals, but they will devote their
time, energies and talents to the benefit
of all. In other words, they will fully
represent the people and will legislate
for the greatest good to the greatest num
ber.
This then is the issue presented to the
people and intelligence of Chatham
county in the legislative contest in which
they are now engaged. Democratic
principles and good, true representative
men are offered to them for their suf
frages. It is their duty to vindicate the
one and stand up in solid phalanx in sup
port of the other. Let them but do this,
and the integrity of the party will be
preserved, and the dignity and manhood
of the people will be sustained.
The Doom of Bossism in Pennsyl
yanla.
Ail reports agree that the feeling
against Cameronism, bossism, the one
man power and the spoils system is ra
pidly increasing in Pennsylvania,and that
these reports are true is shown by two
recent occurrences which have created
somewhat of a sensation in that State.
Mr. Stewart, the Independent Republi
can candidate, has publicly stated that
there was a Cameron conference in
Washington previous to the nominations
with the purpose of fixing up the ticket;
that he was offered a place if he
would join the Cameron forces in their
purpose to run the convention, and that
he rejected the overtures then made to
him. As the holding of such a confer
ence has been repeatedly denied by the
Cameron people, this direct evidence of
the charge has acted like a bombshell in
the camp of the bossists. Besides this, the
statement is revived that Beaver's posi
tion at the head of the regular ticket is
the reward of his betrayal of Blaine in
;he Chicago convention. This charge is
made by the Washington correspondent
of the Philadelphia Times as followe:
“It is charged that James A. Beaver 1
an aspirant for the Governorship of
Pennsylvania, was elected as a Blaine
delegate to the Chicago convention; that
the said James A. Beaver, acknowledg
ing his duty to his constituency, imme
diately sought out Senator J. Donald
Cameron and others of the stalwart ring,
and made overtures to control the Penn
sylvania delegation in the interest of the
nomination of Gen. U. 8. Grant; that in
consideration of thus giving a Blaiue
State to Grant and betraying the people
who chose him as their delegate, the said
Beaver was to have the support of the
Cameron ring in Pennsylvania, and was
to be named by Mr. Cameron for the Gu
bernatorial candidacy; that in fulfillment
of this contract James A. Beaver did sell
and betray the cause for which he was
enlisted, and did convey his vote and in
fluence to the stalwart bosses at Chicago,
and in return the said J. Donald Camer
on di4 name the said Beaver for the Gu
bernatorial candidature, the same being
done in a certain room in Washington
City, where the original contract was
consummated, all to the great scandal
and outrage of the free Republican voters
of Pennsylvania.”
A Chicago paper adds to this the indi'
vidual testimony of several of the Penn
sylvania delegates to the Chicago conven
tion, some of whom are now supporting
the Cameron ticket, to the effect that
Gen. Beaver was elected as a Blaine
delegate by a Blaine constituency. It is
expected that the accumulated testimony
as to Gen. Beaver's treachery to his con
stituents and to Blaine in 1880 will array
against him the votes of thousands of
Blaine men throughout the State whom
the Cameron rule alone would not h&ve
driven from him.
Thus all the evidence seems to point
to a widening of the breach between
the Cameron and the anti Cameron fac
tions of the Pennsylvania Republicans,
and the Independents now claim that the
Stewart ticket will poll a larger vote
than the Beaver ticket The result of
this state of affairs cannot well be any
thing else than the election of Pattison,
the Democratic candidate. Should this
prove the case the Keystone State will
be delivered from the control of the Re
publicans and once more restored to Dem
ocratic rule, and thus the Cameronian
boss party of “rule or ruin” will be sig
nally rebuked.
It is to be hoped that the people of
Chatham county will.onWednesday next,
6end greeting te their friends in Penn
sylvania—now 6o vigorously waging a
warfare against bossism—and show them
that the spirit of opposition to ring rule,
the spoils system and the one man power
is by no means confined to that common
wealth.

Blind people sometimes see their way in

General of England is blind, and a more

Through these examples the blind may see

The following touching illustration of the

Much has been said of late concerning the

An interesting observation on tree-rings
is recorded by Professor Bachelart in La
Mature. During a visit to the ruins Of
Palenque, Mex f CD, in 1859, M. Charnay
caused ad the trees that hid the facade of
one of the pyramids of the palace to be cut
down. On a second visit In 1880 he cut the
trees that had grown since 1859, and he re
marked that ad of them had a number of
concentric circles greatly superior to their
age. The oldest could only have been
twenty-two year* of age, but on a section
of one of them he counted 250 circles; the
tree was sixty to sixty-five centimetres In
diameter. A shrub, eigh.een months old
at most, had eighteen concentric circles.
M Charnay found the case repeated in
every species and trees of all sizes. He
concluded that In a hot and moist climate,
where Nature is never at rest, it may pro
duce, not one circle a year, as with us, but
one a month. The Age of a monument has
often been calculated from that of trees
that have grown on lte ruin. For Palenque
M Laralr zr calculated 1,700 years, having
counted 1,700 rings in a tree. M. Charnsy’s
observations requires the number to be cut
down to 150 or 200 years, making a differ
ence of seme 1,500 years. Prof. Bachelart
asks whether M. Charnay took account of
certain colored rings wnich some tropical
trees present in cross section, and which are
to be distinguished from the annual circles.
A correspondent of the Liverpool Mercury
says that Mr. Bright has given up all idea
of ever visiting America. ‘‘He has never
seen the land whose institutions he has ad
mired so much, and every effort which has
been made to induce him to spend a short
time In the country of Western freedom has
failed. Tbe most promising proposal was
that made by Mr. T. B. Potter some years
ago. Mr. Potter wanted Mr. Bright to prove
to the Americans that they did themselves
a wrong by their policy of protection. He
arranged a little tour which was to be di
versified by the delivery of only four
political speeches—at New Yore,
Boston, Chicago and Philadelphia—lf my
memory does not deceive me. Mr.
Bright declined the tempting offer;
and instead of going to America, offered a
eulogy of the country at the meeting where
in Mr. Potter related his own adventures.
The opportunity having passed, Mr. Bright
became a Minister, acd a voyage to the
States became out of the question. Bis
resignation has revived the American hope
that he would visit them. They asked him
to attend the New England Fair. He has
finally declined. ‘Though it would give
him great pleasure’ to visit America, he has
no Intention of so doing. He apparently
reconciles himself to never seeing the coun
try which he admires more than any nation
in the world save his own.”

The jubilation over Sir Garnet Wolse
ley’s success, which has been no less
universal than exuberant, is already be
ginning to subside, and the attention of
the British public is now beginning to be
directed to the great and serious question
how order and a regular government are
to be re-established and maintained in
Egypt. Sensible people—aud there are
a few sensible people left even in London
—are beginning not only to see the ab
surdity of the exaggerated boasting of
the London press over Sir Garnet’s dis
persal of an “army” which either could
not or would not fight, hut also the awk
wardness of the position in which Eng
land now finds herself with Egypt on her
hands.
At first the victory of Tel el Kebir was
spoken of as something not less tremend
ous than another battle of Waterloo, but
now, as the details arrive, it is beginning
to be seen that all the fighting was really
on one side. With an enemy like the
Boers behind Arabi Bey’s elaborate
earthworks Sir Garnet Wolseley’s
strategy would have been severely tested.
There has been no difficulty practically
in smashing Arabi, but there will t>e
very serious difficulty in satisfying the
European powers now that the prize so
easily won is to be disposed of. It re
mains to be seen how Russia, which is
actively arming, and France and Italy,
with whom Anglophobia rules the
hour, will regard a permanent
establishment of England in Egypt.
In fact, as I have all along said
in these dispatches and as I see the
World has maintaiut and, the really diffi
cult part of the work is now beginning.
The whole continent continues to watch
England with great suspicion and
jealousy. One particularly troublesome
matter to be settled with Europe will be
the claims of the subjects of varous
foreign powers for compensation on
account of the losses inflicted upon them
in consequence of the bombardment of
Alexandria. These claims are now be
ing formulated by the Italian and French
Consuls, and England will certainly be
expected to make provision for their
payment, either out of the Egyptian
revenue or from our own resources. It
is impossible at present to say how this
complication will be met, but it must be
met.

New Life
is given by using Brown’s
„ Iron Bitters. In the
Winter it strengthens and
warms the system; in the
Spring it enriches the blood
and conquers disease; in the
Summer it gives tone to the
nerves and digestive organs;
in the Fall it enables the
system to stand the shock
of sudden changes.
In no way can disease be
so surely prevented as by
keeping the system in per
fect condition. Brown’s
Iron Bitters ensures per
fect health through the
changing seasons, it disarms
the danger from impure
water and miasmatic air,
and it prevents Consump
tion, Kidney and Liver Dis
ease, &c.

Gentlemen : I take pleas
ure in stating that I have used
Brown’s Iron Bitters for ma
laria and nervous troubles,
caused by overwork, with
excellent results.
Beware of imitations.
Ask for Brown’s Iron Bit
ters, and insist on having
it. Don’t be imposed on
