The New York Times says that Dorsey,
Instead of being the director of the cam

and that his well known disposition for

aud perhaps the true side, of the story.
Dorsey isn't a saint by a long way.
The half breed organs style Dorsey's dis

There is no better indication of the

able to travel, and also that more North

A protectionist’s organ remarks that as

Appointment Clerk Butler, of the Treas

Butler prides himself on being the
shrewdest of all the appointment clerks.
His pride has received a blow that must

The Chicago Inter-Ocean denies, upon
the authority of Minister Morton, that
Jay Gould contributed SIOO,OOO to the Re
publican campaign fund in 1880. It
states that he gave $5,000 to each of the
campaign funds, to make himself solid
with either party. As Editor Gorham’s
veracity is assailed in the above state
ment we pause for developments. The
administration organ at Washington dis
tinctly charged that Gould contributed
a round hundred thousand for Garfield's
benefit.
A magazine writer says there are 300.-
000 families in London who pawn small
articles in the intensity ol the struggle
for a living, and that more than 6,000,000
of such unclaimed pledges are annually
gold in that city, while over 270,000,000 are
taken in pledge in the course of the year
throughout the country. Happy indeed
should be that people who, with abun
dant cheap lands, are exempt from the
necessity of entering upon so desperate a
struggle for subsistence.
Local Option ami Sunday Excur- i
sions.
There are two measures pending in the J
Legislature in which the bettor class of
people of this State are deeply interested.
Thev are the Sunday excursion bill and
the general local option bill. This latter
bill is a special order for to-day. These
bills, if passed, are certain to have
a beneficial effect. Itideed, w-e can think
of no laws which could be enacted that
would do so much for the progress and
prosperity of the State. We are not op- j
posed to Sunday excursions be
cause of anything in the excur- j
sions that is wrong. They are harmless j
enough in themselves. In fact, we arc ;
prepared to encourage everything that i
promises to afford the people innocent and
legitimate amusement on Sunday or any j
other day. But we are opposed to Sun- !
day excursions because of theevils which '
grow out of them. They are mainly pa
tronized by negroes, who make them the
occasion for a wild debauch. If the ex- ■
cursionists would enjoy themselves in a i
lawml way, no objection would be j
raised to Sunday excursions. This they ]
do not do. They have no idea of enjoy
incut without whisky, and with plenty i
of whisky they become little less than :
demons. They seek some quiet
town and terrorize the inhabitants with !
their noise, threats, excesses and, per- i
haps, deeds of violence. Mho does not
reuientlier the Eastman affair? An mno- j
cent and harmless man was made the i
victim of a mob of drunken negroes. It
may l>e said that the Eastman tragedv
was exceptional. It was exceptional
only in the extent of its horrors. Such
wild setffies. lacking only the tragical
element, are common enough. Murder ;
and other crimes of violence are always j
probable where there is a I
crowd of frofiieking negroes soaked j
with whisky. There is a class j
of white people which does not possess ;
much, if any. superiority over the j
negroes. This class has little respect for j
law at any time, and none at all when j
crazed with drink and angered by real or j
fancied injuries. Good, law-abiding peo- i
pie may complain that their privileges i
are interfered with by the enactment of j
Sunday laws, but they must consojp j
themselves with the reflection that while !
su-h laws may work a hardship to them !
they are really in the interest of society, j
and will be productive ot benefits to all. j
Besides, people who want to enjoy a quiet ;
Sunday in the country can do so w ithout
the Sunday excursion trains. The pro
posed law does not interfere with regular
Sunday trains or with steamboats.
With respect to the general local op
tion bill we have this to say: We are in
favor of any law which promises to lessen
the evils of whisky drinking. There are
tem|>eranee laws, relating to a very large !
number of counties of the State, now on
the statute lKioks. It would tie lietter to
have a general law. We do not claim
that the Legislature has the right to say
what, or how much, a man shall eat or
drink, but we have no doubt that it is not
only the right, but the duty of the Legisla
ture, to protect the State against an evil
which is general, and afflicts all classes
ot society. The Legislature cannot
pass a law that this or that
man shall, not drink whisky, but it can
prohibit or restrict the sale of whisky
either by a direct prohibitory act, by a
system of high taxation, or by a local
option law. We are not prepared to say
which is the In st way to reach the evil.
We leave that to the lawmaking power.
All tiiat we ask is that something lie done
to cure or limit the evil. More than two- j
thirds of the crimes committed in this |
State aredirectlv traceable to whisky. To
support courts to try these criminals, and
to maintain jails in which to coufine them
[•ending their trials, costs each county
a very large amount of money annually.
Restrict the sale of whisky and
counties will be saved this expense. The
earnings of a majority of the negroes go \
into the whisky shops. Money that ought
to be used in improving their social con
dition is not only wasted, but is made to
contribute to their degradation. If they
cannot resist the temptation of whisky it
is the duty of the State to remove the
temptation. Shut up the saloons and the
cross-roads whisky shops and thousands
oi Georgia homes, that are now the abodes
of squalor, and want, and ignorance, will
become places of peace, contentment and
comfort.
Dr. AV. 11. Babcock, the Jacksonville
correspondent of the Alorning News,( AV.
H. B.), who volunteered to take charge
of the small-pox hospital in that city dur
ing the late scourge, has performed his
duty and returned to his family. AVe
congratulate him upon his release front
his one hundred days virtual imprisoiv
ment in such a disagreeable place. The
Doctor's noble sacrifice in behalf of bis
fellow-citizens, we arc glad to know, is
not only appreciated in a substantial
manner by the municipality aud by the
plaudits of the people, but the
ladies have testified their gratitude by
presenting him with a magnificent gold
watch. Dr. Babcock was for a num
lier of years a resident of this city, and on
the editorial staff of the Morning News,
but removed to Jacksonville, since which
time our readers have known him as AY.
H, B. He is one of the most chaste cor
respondents of the press of the country,
and as modest and as unassuming as he
is gifted. He is a graduate of Yale Col
lege and also of the Charleston Aledical
College, of which latter place he is a na
tive. During the late war he was in
charge of the Small-pox Hospital at Rich
mond. Dr. B. will go to Fernandina,
where ho will spend a few weeks recu
perating. and then will resume his duties
as our correspondent. Our confrere
will excuse this notice of himself, but it
is the only opportunity in sixteen years
that we have had to notice him person
ally. His modesty has always put a ban
on compliments, however well deserved.
Al. Pasteur is to investigate the cause
of cholera, and his eminent services here
tofore rendered to France in discovering
and eradicating the disease of silkworms,
which threatened a few years ago to
destroy the silk industry ot that country,
seem already to have established public
confidence in his ability to discover the
cause and point out some method ol pre
venting or at ieast modifying the ravages
of this deadliest of all scourges that af
flict the human race. Like his proceed
ings in the silkworm disease, his cam
paign against cholera will probably re
quire several years of careful observation
and experiment, and he may fail alto
gether; but so acute an observer, armed
with all the appliances of modern science,
will be very likely to throw some light
upon the origin and nature of the disease.
AYe are inclined to think that Mr. Cal
vin’s bill changing the fence election law,
so there can only be one election a year in
a county, and that on the first AVednes
day in July, will meet the approval of a
majority of the farmers of the Mate, The
bill passed the House by a very large ma
jority. This may be taken as an indica
tion that the bill will meet with favor in
the Senate. As the law now is an elec
tion must be held when fifty voters demand
it. It can be readily ieen how this law
can lw rendered very annoying to the
farmers.
It is said that Senator Wade Hampton
will accompany the President on his
Yellowstone Park trip. The President
wants congenial companions on his pleas
ure trips. He likes Hampton better than
any man in public life in Washington,
and it is probable Hampton could get
more favors front him than anybody else
could, if he desired them. At Hampton's
request he appointed General Ferguson a
member of the Alississippi River Com
mission, although Colonel Floyd, of St.
Louis, was indorsed by hundreds of the
most influential men of the Mississippi
Valley.
Internal Revenue Commissioner Evans,
is no sooner ou* of one trouble than he is
in another. He had to back down in the
Horton case, and the indications are that
he will have to back down in the “Rock
and Rye.” Evans says “Rock and Rye”
is a beverage. The manufacturers of the
stuff say that it is a medicine. Evans
claims to be a fighter and the “Bock and
Rye” people propose to fight. If he
backs down he will probably
feel the time has arrived for him to return
to Kentucky.
A Few of the Successful Truck
Farmers.
The Valdosta Times has been interview
ing some of the leading truck fanners at
Ousley Station, in Lowndes county, the
very spot where Georgia tmek farming
commenced, and near which is the resi
dence of Mr. George R. McKee, the
pioneer of the business.
Mr. J. H. Dedrick planted one acre in
tomatoes, has already shipped, eighty
seven crates, and would ship twenty more.
They netted him $1 50 per crate, and. de
ducting all expenses, he would clear sllO
on the acre. He thought the season un
favorable, and he had bxit little experi
ence.
Mr. John Willis planted 1)4 acres in
Irish potatoes, gathered 30 barrels, and
sold them at $3 per barrel net. His gain
was $55. He planted 20 acres in melons,
sold 4 car loads at $l4O per car net, and
would get 3 more car loads. He says this
has been the worst year known on truck
—damaged him 50 per cent. Truck tann
ing did not interfere with his other crops.
Has planted more cotton this year than
for several years past.
Mr. Joseph Moore planted 100 acres in
melons and 4 in potatoes. Had shipped
32 car loads of melons. His largest sale
was $360 for one car, while the smallest
was $lO6. average $l4O per car. Will get
12 more car loads. Cleared s4o per acre
on potatoes. Has planted corn on his
potato ground and will make 25 bushels
I>er acre. A majority of his neighbors
had come out ahead, and will go into the
business again next year in every way
better equipped.
Mr. J. H. Carroll made $lB9 on one acre
of cucumbers and SOOO on melons, the
latter crop not yet exhausted.
Mr. J. H. Ousley said this year should
not be taken as a criterion—it had been
an unusually bad one on vegetables —that
failure to realize should not be attributed
to the business, but rather to other exte
rior causes—he had lost money on pota
toes, uot because there was no market for
them, Lut lor the reason that he failed to
make a good crop. The same would
apply to other crops. His cab
bages netted him considerably
over sß<) and bis tomatoes $55 j>er
acre. He entertained great hopes of the
future of truck farming, but many changes
will have to be brought about before suc
cess is achieved to any great extent. The
present system will have to be revised.
Every man who plants truck should have
his farm so arranged that nothing will be
lost or thrown away. Another great
difficulty was the freight tariff'. The West
ern markets are practically shut out
against Southern growers, except in the
case of melons. A crate of cucumbers to
Cincinnati is $l5O, and to New Aork
50 cents.
Mr. J. C. Wisenbaker planted thirty
acres in watermelons; has sold four car
loads, which brought him $750 on the
track at Valdosta; will get ten more car
loads from his field; was offered eight
cents apiece for the remainder of the
crop, but refused to accept the proposi
tion.
These are experiences of successful
truck farmers. No doubt many truck
farmers have lost money this season; hut
that some have been successful shows
that truck farming is not a failure. No
doubt a great deal depends upon the ex
perience and management of the farmers.
Plantation Railways.
Taking their cue from the French sugar
beet growers, the Louisiana sugar cane
planters arc now constructing railways
for the transportation of the bulky sugar
cane from the fields to the mills. These
roads, of course, are portable, at least in
part, to suit the convenience ot changing
from one field to another, and, also, for
moving around to keep up with the cane
cutting. On very large plantations it
will, no doubt, prove to be a great advan
tage over the old slow way of hauling.
Many ol our Georgia lumber mills now
have railways, some of them running
many miles into the forests. Railways
and locomotives are now so cheap in com
parison with their almost prohibitory cost
ot former days, that we yet expect to see
them utilized in transporting muck and
other vegetable matter to the exhausted
farm lands in the vicinity of the deposits
of these materials.

Clay and Blaine.
Philadalphia Record (Ind.),
The AVhigs could have elected Henry
Clav in 1840 and in 1848, and he had the
ill luck to lie nominated in 1844, w hen
they needed him most, and when they
could uot elect him. The Republicans
never had so much need of Blaine for a
candidate, and his nomination, if made,
eould not come in a worse time for him.
Bosses to the Hear.

Alessrs Blaine and Tilden stand, it

them. AVith either as President the pub
lic will know whom to hold responsible
for the administration. But the country

and incompetent men and pulling the
strings to make their puppets jump as
they wish.
The Use ot Two Sages.
St. Louis Post-Itisjatch.
The fancy of the Republican organ
grinder lightly turns to thoughts of Tilden
and Hendricks. Asa campaign joke on
the Democrats it will have its little run,
of course. But the Democratic party, re
juvenated by a large accession of the
fresh voung blood of the last decade, will
make its own nomination this time. Both
Tilden and Hendricks declined a reuomi
nation in 1880, and they cannot gracefully
seek or accept it now. A pair of childless
old meu in feeble health, they are worthy
of veneration for what they have done and
what they have been, but, like many other
eminent men in the past, they can serve
their party best by not being its nominees.
Not a Choice Morsel.
Boston Star (Ind.).
It is well that the Pennsylvania Repub
licans have shown their hand so early,
for the dogmas they purpose will be cer
tain to be disowned by intelligent minds
wherever they are discussed. If iutended
as a “sop thrown to the Cerberus” of
tariff reform, there can be little doubt that
Cerberus will revolt at swallowing the
morsel; and then some other way must
he discovered to blind the people to the
iniquities of our false and pernicious
tariff system, which is based upon the
idea that the way for a community and
for individuals to grow rich, is by shift
ing a dollar from one pocket into the other
and persist in doing it until the pocket is
worn out.

Everybody supposed that Congress
man Ben Le Fevre, of Ohio, was a con
firmed bachelor,but his heart has been torn
from him, so to speak, and he is soon to
be married to a Miss Jennie Maturin, of
Boston. There is romance mixed up
with the afl'air, too. Last summer, on the
porch of one of the Saratoga hotels, Gen.
Ben was complaining bitterly because the
collar button on the back of his shirt had
pulled oil'. The little Boston lady volun
teered to sew it on for him, and she did.
This won the bachelor.
M. Clemenueau, the French Minister,
was in Paris when the Commune was es

him. “I have twelve strong friends here,”
Clemenceau replied, drawing a couple of
loaded revolvers. “Make it known that
the first twelve men who enter my house
armed will need stretchers to go home
on.” He was allowed to leave the city
without molestation.
Frof. Francis W. Newman, brother
to the Cardinal, was recently appointed
Honorary Professor of AVorcester College,
Oxford. Some six years ago the Cardinal
was elected an Honorary Professor of
Trinity College of the same university.
AVhile the Cardinal is a devout and con
servative Roman Catholic, his brother is
a radical and a freethinker. He was in
tended tor the Church of England, but
staggered at the thirty-nine articles. That
both should receive equal honors from the
principal English university is taken as
an indication of the liberalizing spirit of
the age.

true. Sartoris had a much better bargain
than Nellie Grant. He gained everything
by his marriage to a lovely girl belonging
to a famous family. She gained nothing
but a thick-headed though good-natured

Mr. Benjamin’s Career.
Ton don Times.
The hall of the Inner Temple witnessed
on Saturday evening, June 20, an almost
unique event. The English bar had in
vited Air. Benjamin, (j. C., to a dinner in
his honor on the oeeasion of his retiring
from the practice of his profession.
Though liberal in its hospitality, that
body is not prone to go out of its way to
honor even its most illustrious members;
and to pav this mark of respect to one
who hau not entered it by the
usual gates, who had come late in life
to England to repair his shattered for
tunes and to join a profession which has
all sorts of portals and passwords calcu
lated, if not intended, to exclude out
siders, is a rare event, and is, in fact,
without a parallel in the long history of
the bar. It is the strange and brilliant
ending of a strange professional career.
The attendance of the Chief Judges and
of upward of 299 members of the English
bar shows that Air. Benjamin has, in his
comparatively brief career here, won the
esteem and regard of men from whom so
often in forensic contests he must have
borne away the prize.
On Saturday little was said as to the
element of romance in Mr. Benjamin’s
career, which is wholly wanting in the
commonplace histories of most success
ful lawyers. But it formed a background
of interest to the proceedings. In the
brief speech in which, with feeling and
tact, Mr. Benjamin acknowledged the
warmth ot his reception, he stated that
lie had retired from practice just as he
had completed the fiftieth year of his
professional life. Into that half century
how much variety, what diversity of in
cident, experience, and scene have been
crowded! If Air. Benjamin writes his
autobiography, as it is to be hoped he will,
what materials for a stirring narrative
he may draw from his memory! When
some of the Judges who had come to do
him honor were children, he was
already conspicuous at the New Orleans
bar. His earliest published legal work, a
digest of the reported cases of the Louis
iana courts, is dated as far back as 1834,
and his published arguments in im
portant commercial cases, such as Lock
ett agt. the Alerchants Insurance Com
pany, made him known as long ago as
1840 throughout the Union as an admira
ble lawyer. In the Senate he was equally
successful as a powerful and dexterous
debater. lie attained distinction as a
legal reasoner before the Supreme Court
at AVashington, a tribunal whieh has al
ways preserved a high forensic standard.
For some time before the outbreak of the
civil war called him to play a still
more conspicuous part, he was sought
alter Wherever acumen aud learn
ing were needed ; and one of the greatest
of his forensic efforts was his argument
before the Federal District Court of Cali
fornia in regard to an important mining
claim—the United States against Castil
leros. Of the share which he took in the
struggle between the North and the South,
it is enough to say that he showed no de
ficiency in boldness or skill, and that the
disasters which betell his cause were not
attributable to any lack of energy on bis
part. AVhen all was lost—when" fortune
had pronounced her last word against the
Confederate arms—Air. Benjamin came to
England to begin in English courts the
practice of the legal profession.
The experiment might well seem fool
hardy ar.d ho[>eiesß even in the case of a
man of Mr. Benjamin’s energy and ability.
He was pretty well advanced in years.
Ills professional antecedents were not
obvious preparations for success here.
He had not been trained as a lawyer in
one of the States of the Union in which
the common law, with all its incidents,
had taken root. He was not a Alassachu
setts or Pennsylvania lawyer, accus
tomed to handle English authorities and
to apply English rules of procedure. He
was trained in Louisiana, the jurispru
dence of which was formed of successive
layers of Roman, French, and Spanish
law, and the courts of which were ac
customed, when the State codes afforded
no guide, to go in search of gen
eral principles to Roman, French,
or Spanish authorities. Probably this
apparent disadvantage was an advan
tage in disguise. However great the
practical inconvenience of such a state of
legal confusion, experience in such a fo
rum was calculated to train lawyers who
were more than mere tradesmen and who
possessed wide legal knowledge. In this
school Mr. Benjamin might well acquire
that familiarity with and mastery over
general principles, which was the great
est of his gifts as an advocate. It was
not an accident that Edward Livingston,
the first American lawyer to direct atten
tion to the subject of legal reform, began
his work in that State. Nor was it a fact
of no consequence that Air. Benjamin re
ceived his legal training in circumstances
in which it was essential to attain a fa
miliarity with general jurisprudence.
AVhen he arrived in this country the
fame of his ability had ’ pre
ceded him, and sympathy with him,
as a political exile and the
representative ol a lost cause, smoothed
his path. The late Izird Justice Turner,
Lord Hatlierlv and Sir Fitzroy Kelly, be
stirred themselves to procure for him a
dispensation from the necessity of under
going the usual period of probation before
being called to the bar. Eminont firms of
solicitors in Liverpool and elsewhere ral
lied round him. The publication of his
book ou the Law of Sale advanced his pro
fessional fortunes; and he rapidly rose in
favor until it became customary to retain
him as a matter of course in all important
cases before the (Jourt of Appeal in the
House of Lords. He hail attained to an
eminent position when hi 6 medical advis
ers warned him that he must no longer
share in the excitement and tumult of
forensic contests, and he decided, much
to the regret of his brethren, to retire
from his profession.
