MONDAY. OCTOBKR 2, 1882.
Coining Democratic candidate for the
Presidency—Grover Cleveland, of New
York.
By the end of the present year the Bal
ti more and Potomac road will be double
tracked all the way from Baltimore to
Washington..
The resignation of the United States
Minister at Copenhagen, Denmark, Mr.
W. P. Wickersham, has been received at
the State Department.
By long odds the strongest point about
Folger’s nomination is that it was pro
cared by forgery. That fact will appeal
almost irresistibly to the average Radi
cal’s sympathy.
The New York Evening Post thinks
that Democratic editors in that State will
have an easy time of it this fall. It says
that all they will have to do will be to
copy leading editorials from the Re
publican papers.
The Macon Telegraph thinks that the
fate of Jeshurun when he waxed fat and
kicked, is specially applicable to our
bolters. It is. And the aforesaid bolters
will find out next Wednesday that
when they kick against the people the
people will kick back, and kick hard.
The present session of the Vermont
Legislature is likely to be A few
minor constitutional amendments, passed
two years ago, have again to be adopted
and submitted to popular vote in 1884.
One of them provides that no Federal
office-holder shall sit in the Legislature.
The others add to the power of the Gov
ernor in different matters.
It is stated on good authority that
Hon. Perry Belmont is not likely to have
any opposition for renomination in the
First Congressional district of New
York, and as that is a good solid Demo
cratic district, it is quite as little likely
to have any difficulty in his re election.
The rumor that W. 11. Vanderbilt was
to be put up by the Republicans has cre
ated amusement among the New York
Democrats.
The importation of foreign dry goods
into the port of New York for the month
of September amounted to $11,800,226,
being nearly a miili an dollars more than
for the same month last year, $1,787,-
950 more than the same month of 1880,
and $2,018,447 more than for the month
of September, 1879. The difference in
the figures is owing to the increased
quality, and not the increased quantity
of the goods imported.
The Tariff Commissioners met on Fri
day at Baltimore, and heard arguments
from various manufacturers in that city,
representing iron, copper, fertilizers,
acids, wood fibres and sugar interests.
With the single exception of copper, on
which there is at present a duty of 20
per cent., all the interests represented
asked for more protection. The reason
given for the exception to copper is that
we are exporting more of this metal than
we are importing.
The prospect of the South for another
year is bright indeed. The cotton crop
promises a yield of one million bales
more than in 1881, which means fifty
million more doll rs for the planters,
while the increased supply of food stuffs
will probably save our section one hun
dred millions of dollars as compared with
last year. So that there will be one hun
dred and fifty millions of dollars more
remaining in the South this year than in
1881. This means the liquidation of
debts, the improvement of farm a , the
establishment of new industries and a
general advance step onward and up
ward in the scale of progress.
Secretary Teller and Inspector Hay
worth have made the following distribu

etc., for industrial school near Arkansas
City, $15,000; support of above school,
$31,500; support of industrial school at
Genoa, Nebraska, $31,500; support of
Indians in schools in States, $17,000.
The Louisville “ Mcueotte " made its
appearance less than four months ago as
a four-page monthly, and but six weeks
since as a six-page weekly. The last
issue of the journal is a ten page paper,
full of news, and especially of political
ideas, forcibly illustrated, against Ma
honelsm in the South. It regards the
greed for gold as threatening the de -
struction of the National Democratic
party of the South, and that avaricious
schemers, unless arrested, will again
sell the government to Ihe Republican
party. On October sth this paper will
commence the publication of striking
political cartoons in colors. We wel
come the “I fateotte" as a formidable
ally in the political contests of the com
ing campaign.
The political condition of affairs in
Utah is beginning to excite considerable
interest. It is stated that at one time the
Gentiles were about to surrender because
of the recent decision sustaining the va
lidity of the act conferring upon women
the elective franchise. The first suppo
sition was that the Mormons would car
ry any election by from 12,000 to 15,-
000 majority. But Judge Twiss, in a
later case, holds that the tax-paying
qualification required of male citizens
is also applicable t 6 females. Before
registration a'man must swear that he
is a tax payer as well as a resident, and
under this decision a woman must take
the same oath. Comparatively few wo
men are tax payers, and the number of
female voters will not be large in a fair
election. Whether or not there will be
a fair election, however, seems to be a
matter of considerable doubt.
The increased purchasing power of
farm products is forcibly illustrated in
the following figures, which can be
readily verified: In 1816 one bushel of
corn would buy one pound of nails; in
1882 one bushel of corn will purchase
fifteen pounds of nails. In 1816 it took
from twenty to eighty dozen eggs to buy
one bushel of salt, in 1882 one dozen
eggs would buy the same. In 1816 it re
quired sixty four bushels of barley to
purchase one yard of broadcloth; in 1882
five bushels would do the business. In
1816 one bushel of wheat purchased one
yard of calico; now, one bushel of wheat
will buy thirty five yards of a better
calico. In 1816 a pair of woolen blankets
cost as much as a cow; now, a cow would
purchase from six to twenty pairs of
blankets superior in every way. And yet
we hear people talk now of the hardship
of the times.
The Senatorial Situation
The Senatorial situation in this dis
trict-thanks to the Eden convention—is
decidedly mixed. Mr. Rawls has ac
cepted the nomination of that conven
tion, and Mr. Meldrim has accepted the
nomination tendered him by the Demo
cratic mass meeting at the Theatre Fri
day evening, and these two gentlemen,
both of whom are thorough going Demo
crats, are pitted against each other. The
whole matter has resolved itself to this:
There is no regular nominee in the field.
Mr. Meldrim represents five votes of
Chatham county, and Mr. Rawls repre
sents one vote of Chatham and four of
Effingham and Bryan counties. Each
are therefore equally indorsed by the
Democracy of the district, and the con
test between them is in the nature of a
scrub race.
It is very unfortunate that this state
of affairs should be existing, and yet,
under the peculiar circumstances of the
case, it could not well have been other
wise. The Democracy of Chatham
have no quaml with the Democracy of
Bryan and Effingham, neither have they
any objections to Mr. Rawls, individu
ally, as the Senator from this district.
He would receive the hearty and sincere
support of the party in our county had
he been regularly nominated. But it is
impossible for the Democracy of this
county to concur in the action of the
Eden convention. To do so
would be to recognize the
faction which has so causelessly rebelled
against the will of the party and now
seeks the defeat of that party as Demo
crats. This cannot be done. The bolt
ers are fighting the Democracy of this
county as persistently and earnestly as
if they were outspoken Radicals, and
have, of their own accord, and from
purely personal and selfish ends, placed
themselves outside the pale of the Demo
cratic organization.
We wish our friends in Effingham and
Bryan to fully understand this matter.
We believe that Chatham county is per
fectly willing to recognize the claims of
the country upon the Senatorship from
this Senatorial district at time. We
are satisfied that there is no objection
felt to Mr. Rawls either as a man or as
a Democrat, and we wish it distinctly
understood that Mr. Meldrim was not
placed in nomination from any motive
of factious opposition to either Mr.
Rawls or the Democracy of our sister
counties. His being in the field at all is
solely due to the Eden convention having
recognized the bolters as Democrats, and
baving given them seats in that conven
tion and a voice in its deliberations equal
to that of the Democratic delegates, al
though the credentials of the latter were
signed by the Chairman and Secretary of
the Executive Committee, while those of
the former bore no signature of any au
thority whatever.
This is the whole story ip a nutshell,
and this is the cause of the present un
fortunate condition of affairs. It is a
great pity that the matter cannot be ad
justed. No true Democrat can feel any
thing but sincere regret that these two
gentlemen, whose fidelity to the party
cannot be questioned, should be in the
field as opponents. We fear, however,
that it is too late now for the mischief
to be remedied. But there is one fact
upon which the Democracy can reflect
consolingly. Either Mr. Rawls or Mr.
Meldrim must be elected, and so the dis
trict will certainly be represented in the
S'.ate Senate by a Democrat, and the in
terests of the people will be well and
faithfully guarded.
An interesting chapter of political
gossip comes from Maine. It is said that
Messrs. Hubbell, Hale, and Reed have
come to an understanding mutually sat
isfactory to themselves. Hubbell pour
ed a generous share of assessment money
into Maine, in return for which Hale is
to use his influence in Michigan, which
is considerable from his family interests
there, in favor of Hubbell as a candidate
for the Senate. Frye is also to give his
help. It is also a part of the arrangement
that Iltjed is to have such help as
the Congressional Committee can give
him in organizing among the re-elected
Republican members of the House a
mvement to result in his election to the
S ; eakership. This was so well under
stood in Maine at election time that in
Mr. Reed’s district posters were dis
tributed to the effect that a vote for
Reed was a vote to give Maine the next
Speaker. Reed will be backed also by
B nine, and his elevation to the Speaker
ship will be regarded as in Blaine’s in
terests.
A Washington special states that the
suggestion that Secretary Folger should
decline the Republican nomination for
Governor of New York, in view of the
fraudulent means by which the machine
secured a victory at Saratoga, has caused
much comment in that city. The possi
bility that he may reject the nomination
is considered by the stalwarts with
great alarm. Wtifether he accepts
or not, it is felt that lie
must resign. The reports all agree that
the active politicians who have espoused
the administration desire a more vigor
ous manipulator of patronage than
Judge Folger at the head of the Trea
sury. If the statements and stories
heard on all sides are true, it is only a
question of a few weeks at most when
he will resign. The name of Pierre Van
Wyck, of New York, is suggested again
as a possible successor to Judge Folger.
The State Committee of the Virginia
R-adjusters have ordered the following
pledge to be issued, which candidates
arc to sign:
“I hereby pledge myself to stand by
the Readjuster party and platform, and
to go inio caucus with the Readjuster
members of the Legislature that meet
at Richmond, and vote for all measures,
nominees ard candidates to be elected by
the Legislature as the caucus may agree
upon.
“Given under my hand seal this
day of September, .

They should add to this an oath or
affirmation to be signed before a Notary
Public or Justice of the Peace. The
above is not half ironclad enough to hold
the repudiating gentry.
On Wednesday, the 4th of October, the
fate of political mongrelism in Demo
cratic Georgia will be effectively sealed
All the indications point to the fact that
the unholy alliance between so called In
dependentism and Republicanism will be
crushed by the strength of the organized
Democracy, and that the aiders and
abettors of the scheme to “ Mahoneize”
the State will be buried so deep, politi
cally, that they will never know a resur
rection.
Only two days more remain before
it will be decided whether it shall be
the people or the bosses who shall rule
in Chatham county. We do not fear the
result of the conflict The people are

Federal Interference in State Affaire.
The nomination of Mr. Folger in New
York by the administration and by forg
ery combined baa caused a great deal of
comment throughout the country. It his
excited eveS more than usual interest in
the political condition of affairs in the
Empire State, and, among other subjects,
it has brought into prominence the mat
ter of Federal interference in the local
affairs of that sovereign commonwealth.
The press, not only of New York, but
of every other section of the country,
has sounded the note of alarm at this
manifest onward stride toward centrali
zation,and is aroused to the vital necessity
of calling a halt upon the encroachments
of the Federal administration on the
rights of the States.
The New York Evening Post was, we
believe, the first to raise the outcry
against this flagrant instance of Federal
interference in State politics, and to take
the ground that the government at
Washington had no right to meddle with
the politics of New York, and its utter
ances have been warmly applauded. Mr.
Arthur’s succeeeful attempt to fasten
Folger upon the State is generally de
nounced as an usurpation of authority,
and as being “an invasion of the State.”
The indignation which has been caused
by this action of Mr. Arthur is just and
righteous; but does it not strike our Re
publican contemporaries that it is, a f ter
all, an instance of the whirligig of Time
working out its own revenges? As the
St. Louis Republican truly says: “Did
not the New York Republicans applaud
when the Hayes administration inter
fered in Virginia to place the people of
that State under the despotic control of
Mahone? Did they not applaud again
when the Garfield administration con
tinued the policy ? Did they not look on
with serene approval when the Grant ad
ministration for eight consecutive years
interfered in the locil politics of Louisi
ana, South Carolina, Arkansas, Missis
sippi, Georgia and North Carolina to
force its offensive favorites upon the
people of tbofe States?”
Our Western contemporary Is equally
happy when it declares that the New
York Republicans are just now discov
covering that Federal interference in the
domestic affairs of a State is a double
edged knife which sometimes cuts the
fingers of those who wield it But if
they smart under it now, they may com
fort themselves, if they can, with the
recollection that they themselves assist
ed to forge the weapon. Federal dicta
tion is very disagreeable in New York;
but it was still more disagreeable in the
Democratic States of the South. The
anguish of the New York Republicans
is only the result of an overdose of Re
publicanism.
The use of the forged telegram at the
meeting of the Executive Committee of
the Republican party at Saratoga, by
which Steve B. French was authorized to
act as proxy for W. H. Robertson, one
of the committee who was absent, has
been variously commented on by the Re
publican preSs, and the nomination of
Folger, which was the result of the for
gery, has not been received with the
slightest enthusiasm. The Utica Herald
talks of an “independent Republican
Convention,” and a bolt from the “Sara
toga nominations.” The Albany Jour
nal says thedorged telegram in reference
to the proxy of Collector Robertson
would cost the party twenty thousand
votes, and remarks: “Forgery does not
belong to the Republican party. If it
does belong there, then the Journal does
not, and thousands upon thousands of
Republican voters do not.”
The Buffalo Express says in reference
to the same matter:
“The unwritten code of party obliga
tion binds each member of a party, if he
intends to continue his party relations,
to acquiesce in the will of the majority
when fairly expressed. But there is no
code, written or unwritten, expressed or
implied, which binds tiie majority to
bend to the will of the minority because
the minority has by fraud obtained con
trol of the party machinery.
“Fraud vitiates everything. The Re
publican voters of this State are anti
stalwart by at least three to one. The
majority has the right to rule, and it is
cheated out of that right—if its opinions
and desires and sentiments instead of
controlling have no more weight than
those of the Buddhists of China—if, in
deed, its views are cast out and spit
upon, and if this result is compassed by
resort to such crimes as bribery, perjury,
breach of trust and forgery, what be
comes of party obligation? Can there
be any obligation to accept a ver
dict obtained by fraud? The people
at large—who are not professional
office hunters join a party be
cause they hope by doing so to aid in
forwarding political purposes and prin
ciples in which they believe. But if
they find that by fraud the party is made
to represent purposes and principles
which they not only disapprove, but de
test, does any fair obligation rest upon
the honest party man to lend his voice
and vote to make that vile fraud effect
ive? Does not, on the contrary, every
obligation of honor and truth and good
faith urge him to the work of rebuking
that fraud and robbing it of the effect
which its perpetrators intended?”
The Cincinnati Times-Star thinks that
this year the farmer certainly has reason
to be happy. It reasons that if early
frosts do not injure the corn the crop
will be immense. The average condi
tion now is 83 against 60 in September last
year: and though the total yield will fall
below that of 1879 and of 1880, the pro
duction will be heavier in the South and
Southwest. The loss is in New Eng
land, New York, Ohio, Indiana, Michi
gan, Illinois, Missouri and Minnesota.
But a gain of 23 on the average condi
tion last September is a cheerful show
ing. The yield of wheat was much
above the average; it is placed at 100,
the top of the scale. The aggregate
product is estimated at 520,000,000 bush
els, of which the Southern States con
tributed a larger share than usual. A
surplus of 200,000,000 bushels, of good
quality, is an assurance of prosperity.
It means that the country is rich and fat
and in good humor; and this condition
is confirmed by the largest crop of oats
ever reported, a rye crop above the aver
age and estimated yield of 150,000,000
bushels of potatoes.
We believe that the Democratic legis
lative ticket of Chatham county is cer
tain to be successful. There has never
been an election in the history of the
county in which the people were so
thoroughly aroused. They have de
termined to “set down upon” bossism
and the one-man power. In any event,
however, the bolters will be defeated.
Even if they should poll a majority of
votes, it will only be because they can
control the registry list. This is by no
means likely, but if it should happen that
they do the people will see to it that they
never again have that power. Registra
tion will be much more general hereafter
than heretofore.
It is not too late for the bolters to
withdraw their ticket from the field and
submit to the will of the Democracy.
The party is merciful, and will freely
extend forgiveness to all penitents who
will confess their errors and forsake
them. But the lamp will only hold out
to burn for two days longer. To-morrow
will be the last day of grace.

The total expoit of tea from China during

Inquiry as to where all the tea comes from.
Of course Japan furnishes a great amount,
but there has been an impression that China
was the great source of supply. Undoubt

but It does not seem possible that it would

Following is the opinion of the editor of
the London Truth in regard to the educa

ought to be shortened. All the work should
be done In school In alternate hours for
study and repetition. There should be no

ought to be taught anything but to tell the
truth, and say,‘lf you please,’ and ‘No, thank
you,’ much before seven years of age. .Two
years later he would,l venture to predict, be
a better scholar than the average nine-year
old victim of the school board, and be
would furthermore have at least the chance
of being a line, healthy, happy and well
grown urchin.”
The Canadian farmers are In hard luck

Millers complain that the quality of the
short quantity brought to them is bad, and

thit the total value of grain and live stock
In that country Is from twenty-five to thirty
per cent, less than it would have been three
months ago.

New York World : “The Edinburg Courant,

A correspondent writing from New York*
September 22, says : “As I passed the Stew
art mansion to-night I noticed people stand
ng on the curbstones of Thirty-fourth
street and Fifth avenue and gazing curi
ously at the stately mansion. It presented
an extraordinary sight. Every curtain was
up, and the whole house was a blaze of light
from the great dome archway of the en
trance to the upper floor. All of the great
chandeliers were burning, and the light re
flected by the heavy gold and silver work of
the elaborately decorated interior was
caught in a thousand shades, making it look
like a fairy palace. The four great street
lamps were burning, and a liveried watch
man paced up and down before the wide
flights of marble steps.” The sight was re
markable, for the house had not been lit up
since Mr. Stewart’s death, eight years ago.
Among the various plans now resorted to
by English builders for rendering wooden
flooring resistive to the action of fire, is
that of constructing solid timber floors,
composed of ordinary joists placed close to
each other, and spiked Or screwed at Inter
vals with bolts : the latter are fixed alter
nately, and, to form a key for the plaster
ing, angular grooves are cut under each
joist, these grooves forming a series of
dove-tails. In a similar manner stairs are
formed by a series of joists screwed or
spiked together. With regard to partitions,
preference is given by many to the F ench
plan of constructing them with quart*rings,
filled in with rough stone rubble, then lathed
on each side with strong laths, and a coat
of plaster applied and pressed through the
vacuities from each side. In the construc
tion of roofs, the laying of solid concrete
flats on Iron joists, or Iron joists fixed to the
Inclination of the roof, and then filled In
with concrete on the French system, cov
ered with asphalt, is a method highly ap
proved.
