SUGAR.
Why it Should be Put on the Free List.
New York, October 6 —Before the Tariff
Commission to-day Mr. Ira Bursley, of New
York, a commission merchant, made an
argument in favor of putting sugar on the
free list. It now paid a revenue of about
#40,000,000. The principal object in
taxing it was to encourage the
growth of sugar in Louisiana.
Louisiana produced only about 60,000
tons a year, on which her profit would not
exceed a million of dollars, and for that the
people were taxed to the amount of #40,000,
000. He suggested that it would be better
to provide that million dollars for Louis
iana in the river and harbor bill.
Mr. Boteler asked if admitting sugar free
would not destroy the sugar culture in
Louisiana.
Mr. Bursley admitted that It would, but
he proposed to take up a collection for
Louisiana In some other way.
Mr. Osgood Welsh, of Wall street, a com
mission merchant, coincided with the views
expressed by the preceding witness, and
added that of every dollar paid In the United
States for sugar thirty cents was tax.

Through the Body.

years.
Independence, Mo., October 6 —Frank
James, the bandit, who recently surrendered
to the civil authorities, arrived here this
evening in charge of the Governor’s Private
Secretary and Major John Edwards, of
Bedalla. In an interview, he declared that
from April, 1877, until April, 1881, he lived
quietly with his wife on a rented farm in
Tennessee, near Nashville. This, he asserts,
he can prove by staunch business men of
Nashville.
As to his whereabouts since April, 1881,he
is silent. He says, however, that he read
the news of the shooting of Jesse James in
a New York paper on the morning of its
publication, Indicating that he was in that
vicinity, and he admits that he has been
east of the Alleghanies and in Kentucky
during the past year.
At the stations all the way from Jefferson
City the greatest interest was manifested,
and the depot platforms were crowded with
expectant people. James bears the marks
of many battles. Seventeen wounds have
left scars, and he has been shot through the
body twice with minle balls. No examina
tion was had to day. The prisoner was
locked up in jail for the night, and the ex
amination will probably take place to
morrow.

Curtis on Folger.
Mr. George William Curtis has written
the following letter, dated at Ashtield, Mas
sachusetts, September 30, to William Potts,
Esq., Secretary of the New York civil ser
vice reform association :
"Mt Dear Mr Potts—l have to-day re
turned from a ran into Vermont, and I
hasten to answer your astonished and aston
ishing inquiry, which I have just received,
whether I advise Republicans to vote for
Judge Folger, by saying In the most em
phatic manner that I do not advise, have
not advised, and shall not advise a course so
totally repugnant to all my political convic
tions and to my sense of public duty. The
advice in Harper’s Weekly to which you
allude was not. mine, and was published
hurriedly, with the press waiting, in my
absence and without my knowledge. Judge
Folger’s ability and character are not in
question, but his Domination is. That nomi
nation was procured by the combined power
of fraud and patronage, and to
support It at the polls would be
to acquiesce in fraud and patron
age as leg tlmate forces in a nominating
convention. Every good citizen is bound to
resist to the utmost such a wrong to free in
stitutions, and the only effectual way In
which the voters can emancipate themselves
from the corrupt and debasing rule of a
machine, is to defeat Its candidates. This,
I believe will be done decisively by Republi
can voters of New York and Pennsylvania
at the election of this autumn. They will
see their party defeated rather than fraud
and the corruption of patronage triumph
ant. Events In both States show that no
graver political peril now confronts the
country than the complete subjugation of
party by unscrupulous cabals which bribe
with public employment and pay their way
by filching from the public treasury. This
Is an evil which will end in violence unless
It is conclusively rebuked by the people at
the polls. Yours truly,
“Georoe William Ccbtis."

Atlanta, October s.—Our threatened rain
has nofyet put in an appearance, and we are
having clear, cool weather this week.
Yesterday was a fine day electioneering and
every candidate did his best to get out the full
strength of his support, so that few voters
were overlooked.
Away from the polls it was an unusuaslly
quiet day, and but little drunkeness to be
seen the streets. The great mass of business
men paid but little attention to the matter
beyond voting.
The statement that fine white sand is being
used in this city for the cure of dyspepsia need
create no surprise, ss the simple remedy—if it
be in all cases a remedy—has been in use her
for several years past, relieving some cases, but
making no impression upon others.
Editor Martin, of Rome, has been in Atlanta,
but says he saw no improvement in the exte
rior of the capitol. This is easilv accounted
for, as he does not carry a "high head,” and.
therefore, did not see the improvements and
painting of the tower. Nor does he visit back
alleys, and hence he did not notice that
the entire rear of the building 1 baa been re
painted, as the front will be during the present
month.
Atlanta is already in the field with her usual
boasts of an immense increase in her cotton
receipts. Unfortunately the final results do
not make these boasts of much account It is
much better to count the bales honestly as
they come in, rather than guess how many will
enme. We shall not get 150,000 this season.
Mark my prediction.
MINOR TOPICS.
I saw a poor unfortunate moving listlessly
along the sidewalk this morning, shabbily
dressed and haggard. Three years ago he was
a prosperous business man, lived in style at
our best hotel, rode in the finest carriages with
our most charming belles, and was the gayest
of the gay at social entertainments Wine,
women and extravagance have wrecked him,
and with business gone, health destroyed and
friends scattered, he is fast tending to the end
of a life that might have been useful and hon
ored, but is now a sad failure.
Mr. W. R. Cardwell, formerly of Harris coun
ty, Ga , lost his entire family during the recent
freshets in Texas, where he was living. He
was lodged iD a tree by the rushing waters and
finally saved, but hs wife and all his children
perished. Before he lodged in the tree his wife
exclaimed: “Isn’t it nice that we are all going
together.” Years ago, a Rev C. P. Ilsley. then

PERSONAL MENTION,
Senator J. G. Parks, of the Eleventh District,
is in thecity to-day, and is being heartily con
gratulated on his re-election. He Is tie only
“high private” returned to the Senate, Sena

is a voung man. yet he makes an industrious
and efficient legislator, and I predict that his
second term will show considerable improve
ment over his first.
In a recent letter I alluded to the manifold
duties that devolve unon Mr. Dave W. Appier
as Treasurer of the West Point Railroad and
agent of the Port Royal Railroad, Central
Railroad and Ocean Steamship Company, and
how well he bore up under the burden of in
creased labors. But the season has opened
rather too lively for him, and in order to meet
the full demands of the Ocean Steamship and
Central Railroad business, he has resigned the
treasurership of Ihe West oi t Railroad, and
will devote all his time to the duties of General
Railroad Agent, in which capacity be has had
long experience and has made for himself a
record of which both he and the railroads he
serves have reason to be proud.
A glance at the telegraphic election returns
shows that several old members of the House
are returned. Dr. E. A. Perkins of Burke W.
R. Rankin of Gordon, J. M. DuPree of Macon,
J. L. Peek of Rockdale, M. P. Reese of Wilkes,
Louis Garrard of Muscogee, and J. S. James of
Douglass, were among the most prominent
members of the last Legislature. 1 hen anew
supply of experienced members has been
added in Captain W. A. Little of Muscogee,
Colonel W. A. Lofton of Binb, A. G. McCurry
of Hart, E. F Hoge and W. H Hulsey of BNil
ton, whom I have favorably known in past
sessions. Whoever may be candidates for
BDeaker, I can safely assert that no man will
be named who possesses more or better quali
fications for the position than Captain Robert
FaUigant, of Chatham.

I have seen no mention of the fact that the

McFarland, whose many friends in Georgia will
be pleased to learn of his deserved honor.
The report of the suspension of Rev. C. J.
Oliver, a Methodist preacher of this city, on
account of a scandal, should be taken with con
siderable allowance. He is a house psinter by
trade and a sort of locil preacher, but more of
a painter than preacher.
Our church going census, recently put at the
enormously high figure of twenty thousand,
has been badly punctured by some solid facta
from the Post-Appeal, from which it appears
that five thousand would be nearer the truth.

THE FARMERS’ CONGRESS
Education in the South—An Interesting
Address on that Subject.
In addition to its work on the tariff ques
tion, laid over for the next session to await,
probably, the action of Congress on the re
port of the Tariff Commission, the Farmers’
Congress, at its recent session in St. Louis,
declared for immediate clearing out of the
Mississippi river, and then it considered the
question of the distribution of the public
lands. On this subject Mr. Kapp, of lowa,
offered the following resolution :
“ Resolved, , That we favor the distribution
of the proceeds realized from the sale of
public lands of the United States among the
several Btates In proportion to their popula
tion and illiteracy, for the following pur
poses :
“First, for providing or aiding an effective
school system for all persons under eighteen
years of age; secondly, for the Improvement
of agricultural experimentation.”
The resolution, says the St. Louis Repub
lican, gave rise to several very animated
speeches, in which all members concurred
in the opinion that the interests of the
Southern and Western farmer were closely
allied, as they were both compelled to fight
the monopolists of the East. Ex Gov. G. D.
Sbands, of Mississippi, obtained the floor
and spoke as follows on the above resolu
tion. His remarks will be found exceed
ingly interesting:
Mr President—l once thought of pre
paring a resolution on this subject, to be
presented to this Congress, but I now have
cause to be thankful that I was delayed In
my purpose. The present proposition, com
ing as it does from the great Northwest,
gives me cause for great joy. Had I uttered
the thoughts contained In the resolution,
they might have been attributed to a desire
to gain tor my State and the South some un
due advantage; but, coming as thev do from
the distinguished gentleman from lowa,they
are in the highest measure gratifying to us
cf the South. I feel very thankful that the
opportunity has been afforded to me to
speak to the farmers of the North and
Northwest, and particularly upon this ques
tion. I feel sure that I only utter the
thoughts that now find lodgment in the
minds of all thinking Southern men. On
my part they are not hasty thoughts, but
rather they are the results of many years’
reflection and observation.
It is Impossible that you should under
stand the peculiar embarrassments that have
surrounded us in our relations to the recent
ly enfranchised slave. We accepted at once
the issues of the war as a finality on the
slave question ; and as was befitting for us
to do, we at once addressed ourselves to the
gigantic undertaking of making of the
freedman a useful and capable citizen. You
of the North have no adequate conception
of the depth of poverty in which the war
left us. Recognizing that the future safety
and quiet of our States depended upon the
capability of the negro properly to exercise
the privileges of a citizen, we, as speedily
as we could remove the gaunt spectre of
famine from our doors, at once cast about
for some plan within our reach, whereby
we might make our former slaves, now free
men, better citizens. As 1 now remember,
but few, if any of the Southern
States had, up to that time, organized any
system of general common school educa
tion. But the thought came with a rapidity
born of the instinct of self-preservation that
what was left of our property—aye, even
our very lives and all our hopes of peace
and happiness—depended upon the eleva
tion in the scale of intelligence and morali
ty of those who, recently enfranchised and
newly endowed with the largest liberty,
must for generations to come live with and
among us. Allow me to sav to you that we
did then live upon the top of a smouldering
volcano, but we tiust now that all danger is
fast disappearing. Howto meet this im
portant responsibility was the question to
which these bankrupt aDd disorganized
Btates betook themselves. As if by magic
school houses for black children sprang
up all over the land; aye, the action fol
lowed the thought so fast that they are not
divided appreciably Id point of time. Eve
rywhere and In every Btate of the Bouth the
same though' took root and the same action
followed. Whatever of property there was
left there belonged to whlte.men, yet they
at once and continuously since then have
aided to impose upon themselves by taxa
tion burdens heavy to be borne to educate
these people. This Is the settled policy of
the South, whether any aid come from the
General Government or not. Philanthropy
prompts it and safety demands It. We feit
that the time would come when a senee of
duty on the part of the great and prosperous
North would prompt th m to aid us in this
herculean enterprise. We owed a debt to
the freedman, because he had been our
slave; the North owed a debt to him because
they had invested him with new and power
ful privileges and rights which he was poor
ly qualified to exercise, and when the gen'le
man from lowa read his resolution I at
once saw that the day had fully dawned,
and when he further said that his
resolution was in accord with the predomi
Dant thought in the great Btate of lowa, I
then knew and felt fraternization—simple,
pure, genuine and unpurcbaeed—had taken
growth in the heart of the farmers of the
land. This work of educating and elevat
ing the negro must go on. As It now is, he
is a most important political factor. Divided
in party relations as white men are, he by
his vote gives complexion to each recurring
administration, and whether he acts for the
best or not, he does it. The great heart of
this nation Is Interested deeply In the fu
ture. He holds In a great measure the des
tiny and happiness of all our people In his
hands; and epeaking for Mississippi, and I
myself say for the South, for our thoughts,
interests and destiny are identical, I say to
the gentleman from lowa that his resolution
and utterances will cause a thrill of joy to
permeate the hearts of all our people.
We of the South consider the future of
the negro a question by the side of which
all others sink into insignificance. We can
bear a burdensome tariff and oppressive
exactions from monopolies and live in oar
beloved la<. and, but it Is wltbln the bounds of
possibility that this vast, newly enfran
chised race may yet exercise a baneful
influence upon our common country. Ido
not anticipate such a result. The negro
Is in the main good willed, and now, when
I see our efforts In his behalf, taken up,
aided and abetted by our former brothers
of the North, I cow know that it will be
but a generation or two until he shall stand
side by side with us In an Intelligent en
deavor to secure happiness and prosperity
for the South and the whole nation.
How much better thus to use the money
arising from government land sales than to
give it to monopolies. The negro is a
larmer and the farmer sustains all ranks
and classes.
The negro Is not represented here by one
of his race, but the great heart of the gen
tleman from lowa has permitted him to
make the negro’s cause his own, and we of
the South have profound cause to be grate
ful when he tells us that the great farmer
body of lowa stand behind him In his ex
pressions. Ton are richer and more power
ful than we, yet, In this generoua emula
tion for promoting the welfare of the whole
country, we shall be your rival, and this
rivalry can produce naught but love between
us,
RULE OR RUIN.
Blaine’s Tactics Explained.
Washington Correspondent Boston Post.
There are a good maDy Republicans here,
probably their like may be found elsewhere,
who will be glad to see the Republican party
beaten this fall. They are not the friends
of the administration, and, while they are
Republicans, they are more hostile to Mr.
Arthur and to the stalwarts than the
crate are. They are the friends of Mr.
Blaine, who call themselves the Garfield
Republicans. They are the meanest and
most corrupt element of the Republics
party, for they include its vast horde of hypo
crites, of whom Massachusetts has consid
erably more than its share. Mr. Blaioe’s
chief enmity is against Mr. Arthur. He
feels that the President is responsible for
the sudden end that was put to his political
career. It may seem strange to men who
have always known Mr. Blaine that he
should have anything to complain of. A
man who began life In Washington as a
lobbyist and ended it as a Secretary of Btate
ought to be pretty well satisfied. A good
many of bis old companions of war days
still linger around Washington They
began life here as he did, but they have
ended as drunkards and hotel paupers. Suc
cess breeds desire, however, and Mr.
Blaine is not satisfied. He is taking
a desperate ftep preliminary to his
last fight for the Presidential nomination.
He and his friends decided last winter
that the first thing to do was to demonstrate
that the administration has made the Re
publican party unpopular, and that this
mrt be shown at anv cost. There ts a good
deal of madness in Blaine’s method. No
man has struck him such a blow as Mr.
Arthur did when he refused to permit him
to stay in the Cabinet, and he ts doing all
he can to pay up the President. But,
madness or no, Mr. Blaine long since
made up his mind to rule or ruin
the Republican party. Circumstances
have favored him. Mr. Arthur beat
him last year by making an alliance with
Mabone In Virginia, but Blaine proposes to
make up for that by compassing Mahone’s
defeat at the coming election. His advice,
to Republicans do*; to vo’e with Mabone is
not distasteful to decent Republicans In the
North. A leading stalwart from New York,
whole also a business man, said: “Blaine
hasn’t made a mistake there; Arthur has
certainly captumd the Repuhlfcan or
ganization of Virginia by his union
with Mahone, and Blaine has
thereby lost what he had reason to suppose
was bis own: but the capture of the Vir
ginia Republican organization will cost Mr.
Arthur something. I don’t approve of an
alliance with a repudtator mvself; and a
good many others of Mr. Arthur’s friends
think as I do. Blatne’s advocacy of the
honest Republicans will greatly help him in
the North. He has already more than made
up for the lose of Virginia.”
It may be said here, parenthetically, that
Mahone has been In town since Saturday.
He is calm and cool, for he plays politics as
an expert gambler play 6 poker. He never
shows his hand, and he considers it the
thing to be what people of his kind of mor
ality call “game.” He says that he will win,
and that he will get a much larger vote from
the negroes than he had last. vear. There
never was so autocratic a “boss” as this
man. He orders bis followers about like
sheep. He knows just what kind of people
they are; that when they were in the Demo
cratic party they could never receive nomi
nations for anything, and that they joined
him for office. Therefore he can kick them
to his heart’s content. If they leave him
they have no political future whatever.
Mr. Blaine will not only do all he can to
beat Mabone and the administration In Vir
ginia, but he and the Garfield Republicans
will be delighted If Chalmers Is defeated.
Anybody who is receiving help from the
administration will have the hostility of Mr.
Blaine and bis friends. Mr. Blaine is In a
splendid position himself because Maine
was carried by the Republicans. Perhaps
If the people of Maine had known the ex
tent to which Mr. Blaine’s fortunes were In
volved the election would have gone the
other way. Having the apparent right
to assert, that, he hss carried his own
State, Mr. Blaine is quietly doing all in his
power to secure the defeat of the adminis
tration in New York. His first effort was to
secure the nomination of Mr. Cornell. Ho
was defeated here, but the circumstances of
his defeat are again in his favor. The ad
ministration was obliged to cheat in order
to secure Mr. Folger’s nomination, and this
gives the Garfield (or Blaine) Republicans
of New York an excuse for bolting
and staving at home. Mr. Blaine’s effmts
will now he dlrec’ed to the beating
of Arthur In New York at the polls, and
it is thought here by the few Blaine
men who are in town, and who are suffi
ciently Informed to know what Is going on,
that he has fair hopes of success. Curiously
enough, ho has the active help of two
newspapers that dislike him most heartily,
the New York Times and Evening Bast It is
extraordinary to see the two shooting
through the same gun barrel with the New
York Tribune. Why does Mr. Blaine want
to beat the Republican party ? He reasons
in this way: “If I want the R- publican
nomination, Mr. Arthur must be believed
to be unpopular. In order to make him
appear unpopular, the first year of his ad
ministration must be followed by a defeat of
the Republican party, and the party must
be defeated so badly that the Democrats
shall have the next llou*e of enta
tives. Having carried Maine, it will be
evident to the party that I represent tho
Garfield element of the party, the element
that Is dissatisfied with Mr. Arthur and the
stalwarts. This will probably give me the
nomination In 1884. The victory of the
Democrats this year will not really hurt
the party. The Democrats will proba
bly not use their power wisely, and the
country will be tired of them and ready to
return to the Republican fold In 1884.
Moreover, a victory this year will not be so
much a victory over the party as over the
stalwarts.”
This is the way Mr. Blaine reasons. No
Democrat looks forward more hopefully
than he to a Republican defeat this year.
The Democrats, however, think that they
will remain strong enough to win In the
Presidential fight also. That remains with
them. If they are wise they will stay In
power; If they are guided by Win, H.
Barnum, and some others who might be
named, they will again go In’o retirement.
