Tle Divorce Keoomnicndatton.
The rejxtrt adopted by the Methodist
Conferenee at Philadelphia recotnntend
inii that no divorce be ttranted except for
adultery, and that the grtiilty party be net
allowed to marry attain, ought to. and no
doubt will, meet with very general ap
proval. The divorce evil has grown to
monstrous proportions. Senator Brown,
in his speech in the Senate on Tuesday on
tae Mormon question, stated that in the
1 ,-t twenty years, in New England alone,
•27.1 vO divorces had been granted, thus de
stroying that many families. It there w ere
;7.t>X) ia New England, how many
must there have been in the entire coun
try? Tae number of divorces is steadily
increasing in proportion to the number of
marriages The Legislatures of most •!
t!:s;at**s have made divorces very easy
obtain, and the e wurth are making
, M l ■ (tier by their liberal interpre
ts j. fj;, -tatutes. Divorce* are now
granted for very -light qjius*--. If they
k 1 in one State they
mother, in almost every State
the civil dockets of the courts
nta;n more divorce oases than cast's of
a: v other kind. It is useless to enumer
af the evils that flow from divorces,
f ■>- ar kn *wn and understood. De
stroyed home* mad scattered fhmiliee are
aui ng the least of them. It is certainly
• nv that Protestant churches made their
infl c tice felt in this matter. They can

The City Extension Plot.
A communication in another column
relative to the plan adopted by the City
t . : ii for the laying off of the new ex
. •. : the city voices the sentiments
fa ’. ig majority of the property own
er-in that section, if it does not that of
the community. The subject is so xvell
treat* 1 in all its bearings by the writer
that i* is not necessary to comment
upon ti. • communication. We suggested
!- f re the plan xxas adopted, that in
vi w f tae manifest objections to rt that
: .• Council should not act hastily, but
uader the pressure of the committes
having the matter in charge the plan w as
a < oted. The writer truly says that the
wr.ers of the thousands of dollars worth
f real estate xvere not consulted in the
mat:- r. and i: look- very much as though
tii,.* committee didn’t want any advice on
tae sn’ t. Mr. Thomas, who is one of
the most positive and energetic members
of the Council, engineered the plan
tin ugh. No one else, it appears, took
r.. ieh interest in the matter, and being
willing to do the work, he was permitted
t, jo it as he thought best.
T.i plan is not a good one. and it
w ill be well for Council to reconsider
it before it is too late- With reference
t > the new park it is probable that the
jam! s t aside for Thomas Park can be
- id *. r an a tv. unt sufficient to purchase
several hundred acres of land one or two

ally improved f *r park purposes.

The question whether the Mecklenburg
Declaration of Independence was ever
made k s be*n discussed with a good deal
of spirit. Of course the demonstration
that occasioned it did noi amount to
mu : a from an international point of view.
but it was a piece of vanity of which the
people of Charlotte- &c 4 vicinity are justly
proud. Mr. Addison Thomas, of Engle
wood. X. J.. has put it on the record that
h s fraternal grandmother’s uncle was
Secretary or Assistant Secretary of the
meeting, which adopted the declaration
and that the same distant relative drew
up the resolutions.
A laborer saved an excursion train on
the Louisville and Nashville road from
being wrecked on Monday night, on Elys
ian Fields street, in Sew Orleans. Some
miscreants had taken up a rail. The
train runs rapidly on Elysian Fields
street, and if the danger had not been dis
covered in time it is probable that many
lives would have been lost. No punish
ment could be too great for the would-be
wreckess.
There seems to be no doubt that Presi
dent Arthur’s administration has been a
pretty good one. especially when it is
taken into consideration that he is a Re
publican, and nearly all the Republican
conventions have been compelled to admit
as such. His administration is so good
that a great part of his party don’t want
; to continue it any longer.
Getting the Best of Congress.
Congress contains some of the shrewd
est lawyers in the country, and yet it
seems they are hot shrewd enough to pro
tect the government against the raids of
the sharpers, lobbyists and speculators.
When Congress granted certain privileges
to the Rulus Hatch Company in the Yel
lowstone National Park the utmost care
was taken not to give the company a mo
nopoly of the park. The company, how
ever. succeeded in getting a monopoly,
and its lease covers about all the great
attractions the park has. The law au
thorized the Secretary of the Treasu
rv to lease to the Hatch company
a tract of land not exceeding ten acres
for hotel and other purposes. Probably
not a single Senator or Representative
had any other idea than that the ten acres
wi-uUI be selected in a body. The Hatch
company, however, had another idea. It
selected seven tracts which were wide
apart and xxhich included all the great
geysers and other curiosities. The seven
tracts combined made up the ten acres.
As long as the Hatch lease is in force
that company can compel the visitors
to the National Park to pay for seeing
about all there is worth seeing
and prevent location of other hotels
in close proximity to the geysers. It
would seem as if the Interior Depart
ment ought to have construed the law as
Congress intended it should be construed,
but for some reason or other* that depart
ment took Ihe same view of the law that
the Hatch company did. All these facts
were brought out in a debate in the Senate
a day or two ago when an eff<rt w as made
to get the right of way through the park
for the Cinnabar and Clark’s Fork Rail
road. The plea of the railroad
company was that the road was necessary
to the development ol the mines at Cook
City. A good many of the Senators sus
pected that the plea was a blind, and that
the real object was to make the Cinnabar
Road a profitable tourist road. One of the
most persistent of the lobbyists lor the
road is a high government official whose
position is such that he ought to be doing
what he could to protect the government
instead of assisting to create a monopoly.
It the Hatch grant were the only instance
in which Congress had been worsted it
would not be worthy of a great deal of at
tention. but when the many other notori
ous instances are considered there i9 a dis
position to wonder whether the smartest
men get to Congress.
Need of a Navigable Water Way
Through Romney Marsh.
There is a large and rapidly increasing
busine— on the Altamalia river. The
principal down freights are naval stores
and the up-freights are supplies for the
hands employed in the turpentine or
chards. Three steamers run regularly
from Doctortown. where the Savannah.
Florida and Western Railway crosses the
river, and where there is a wharf
and a*warehouse for the accommoda
tion of freights. A company lias been
recently organized in Brunswick for the
purpose of establishing a line of steamers
on the Altamaha. Tiie government has
expended a large sum in the improvement
ot this river, and it is now one of the most
navigable rivers in Georgia. The im
mense timber trade of Darien and
its outer port. Doboy, receives its
supplies from the Altamaha and its tribu
taries, along the banks of which are the
finest timber tret - in America. Nature
has provided an inland water way which
connects all the rivers emptying into the
Atlantic with the port of Savannah,and in
former days our city did the bulk of
the trading alon_' the coast and th** rivers
emptying into the Atlantic between Tybee
and Amelia Islands. The only obstacle
to the full development of this coast and
river trade in the interest ol Savannah is
the Romney marsh. To make this marsh
navigable at all tides it is necessary to
open Habersham’s cut.
The river and harbor bill is now pend
ing before the House. It provides for an
appropriation of SIO,OOO to continue the
work of opening a channel through Rom
ney Marsh. It does not provide, however,
that the appropriation shall be used to
open Habersham's cut.
It is to be hoped that in the in
terest of the commerce of Savannah,
our city authorities, the Cottcu Ex
change, the Board of Trade and other
bodies will take action in this matter and
memorialize Congress on the subject. Not
a cent more should be wasted on the
Warsaw cut. The Morning News has no
hostility, having no reason to have it, to
the enterprise xxhich the owner or
owners of Warsaw Island are engaged in,
but let them develop their property at
their own cost, and let the public money
tie expended for the public good.
Ex-Speaker Keifer is not yet through
with the Keifor-Boynton trouble. His
chief witness against Boynton was a man
named Elder. This man Elder was not t*e
lieved by the committee which investi
gated the charges which Keifer made
against Boynton. A day or two ago Elder
presented to Keifer a bill for his services
amounting to s2><i. Keifer refused to pay
and Elder wrote him a threatening letter.
In his letter he says: "It may tie that
you don’t want me for a friend. Y’ou may
think that I can’t be of any benefit to
tou. I mi-'irt be of a great deal an l 1
might not. There might be someone
else that wants hit assistance. I hope
you will have this matter attended to at
once or th a re will be some trouble. lam
not a man to be fooled with in this way.”
This looks as if Elder had a hold on Keifer
of some kind. Can it be possible that the
ex-Speaker iuduced Elder to stretch the
truth a little?
An interesting case, involving the re
lationship of landlord and tenant, has
just been decided in New Y’ork. A ten
ant of a suit of rooms in an apartment
house complained that the plumbing was
defective, and that his wife and servants
had been made sick by inhaling poison
ous air. The landlord failed to have the
defects remedied, whereupon the tenant
moved out. The landlord sued for rent
under the lease, but the court decided
that the tenant was justifiable in vacating
the premises and could not be held to the
termsT>f the lease.
Boston's fruit trade is by no means in
significant. On Monday that city receiv
ed ten car loads of strawberries from
Maryland alone, besides 3,700 crates by
steamer from Norfolk. Three steamships
and two schooners also arrived the same
day with 30.0:7 bunches of bananas, 107.-
000 cocoanuts, and LLOOO pineapples. A
fast special train for strawberries is now
ran from Baltimore to Boston daily.
Much of this fruit is of course sold by the
wholesale dealers to retailers in the vari
ous towns and villages in New England.
People who have occasion to cross the
great deep do not read the accounts of
the races of the great ocean steamers
with much assurance. The anxiety to
make the quickest time possible is causing
ship Captains to strain their vessels and
machinery to their utmost, and to take
many risks, perhaps, which ought to be
avoided. It is likely that the racing will
be continued until prohibited by law, or
until some great disaster traceable direct
ly to it shall cause an outburst of public
indignation against it.
Toe Lincoln boomers will have to do
something better than circulate false re
ports that the Secretary of War has been
assassinated. Nothing less than a good
centre shot will give Robert a chance for
the first place on the ticket. It is feared
now that the second place will be appor
tioned to some more influential and useful
politician.
The incarceration of fictitious million
aires who have been accustomed to the
luxuries of the best hotels, is attracting
attention to the meagre accommodations
afforded by the brag jails of Sew York.
The tendency of the times being towards
prison reform, the demand for a real high
toned jail for the accommodation of re
spectable rascals must oe met at an early
day.
The Sew York Times hits Mr. Arthur a

trials the men who plundered the Treas

Granting Pensions Indiscriminately.
Bart ford TANARUS, •<■■ D<m . .
x\ bile the true soldier who has been iu the
conflicts of war for his country should be paid
a reasonable pension, in addition to the pay
and bounties he had previously received, there
-liould be no widespread and reckless pension
acts to draw in armies that never did much
-erviee—none indeed beyond the remunera
tion thev have received,’ except the services
wliXch they have rendered to the members
who vote money to them. The soldier who
shot off his own toe in ordei to avoid the dan
gers of a coming battle and who receives a
vearlv pension, is as much of a patriot as
thousands of others, who were.not goo l sol
diers. but who receive pensions.

I LORI DA RKPt BLJCAXS.
The White Element Contemplate Cut
ting Adrift from the Brwther in Black.
C&rreepondmtc* of the Morning Xeice.
Jacksonville, Fla., May *7.—l have
written to you from time to time of the
disgust that is entertained by the intelli
gent and conservative element among the
white Republicans respecting the arrogant
and insolent demands and attitude of their
negro allies. This sentiment Is waxing
stronger daily, and has found expression and
decided utterance in one of their organs. It
is the first time that a Republican paper has
ever dared in this State to speak out so boldly
and unmistakably, and its views deserve
notice as indicating a marked and important
change in ihe opinions of a large and influen
tial class of the community. For some time
past there has been serious dissatisfaction ex
isting l*etween the wing of the Republican
party composed of the class that neither seek
nor desire office and the main body, consisting
of the ignorant and irresponsible ne
groes, controlled and manipulated by the
Federal officials for purely seltlsh purposes.
The cup overflowed during the late State Con
vention. when the whites were coolly ignored,
disdainfully snubbed and given plainly to un
derstand that thev were expected to take
back seats. For two days they disconsolately
andered about, unnoticed and unregarded,
while the negro delegates held caucuses and
arranged the programme. This was more
than an Anglo-Saxon stomach, even when
connected with a Republican body, could en
dure, and an intense nausea resulted, with a
copious outflow of language not adapted to
ears polite. Many left the parti-colored as
sembly. resolved never again to l>e seeu in
such a motley gathering. They have had a
full dose of African ideas, and the physic has
effectually cured numbers of them of their
negrophilism.
fn January last, the Florida Xete Yorker ,
published at Lake Enstis, flung to the breeze
its banner, upon which was emblazoued the
legend, "an uncompromising, radical, red-hot
Ropubl can weekly,” and set out on its avow
ed mission to uproot and demolish the Demo
cratic party. From the* liold avowal of the
course it intended to pursue, the public very
naturally suppised that no dose would prove
teio unpalatable, no flavor too objectionable,
no poll too filthy, to swallow, inhale or wal
low iu, if necessary to accomplish its pur-
poses.
It ha- taken just four months to work a
wonderful alteration in the sentiments of the
editor. He no longer perfumes his handker
chief with odor d’Afrique. and snappishly de
clines to act as godfather to negro babies. He
is a soured, disappointed man. having discov
ered that the statues which lie supposed were
chiseled out of Parian marble had been
moulded from vulgar clay.
The movement started in Georgia reeentlv
for the organization of a XVhitc Man's Rerub
can party lias found imitators here, and is
gaining ground rapidly anu growing in popu
larity daily. You encounter no difficulty now
in finding white Republicans who will not
hesitate to tell you that they will never assist
in placing the "candidates of the negroes in
power, so far as tins State is concerned. They
say that thev cannot take any such risk, and
that it would be ruinous to'the interests of
the state to put them in such keeping.
From two recent editorials in the paper
alxive mentioned, the following samples arc
clipped:
"It is plain thev the negroes are deter
mined to manage the party a- now organized,
and this management is invariably ruinous,
and it must ever lie destructive of any party
to have a majority of colored voter’s in its
councils. The social idea runs through our
jioliti. s. as in all countries, and a colored man
can never be recognized sociallv by ffn* white
race, hence the party depending’ mainly on
colored \otes will be the ‘nigger’ party as
long as the colored people have the elective
franchise."
"The problem of the African race on this
continent is not solved, ami who can say how
it will !*■'• The Republican party has tried to
solve it; they have failed ignominously. and
now their mistakes are coming home to them.
Thev have given the negro the elective fran
chise. and thus given the South more than
thirty more representatives— all white Demo
crats."
“Dutch, Dane, swede or the English labor
er- may come to this country, and in a gene
rat'on or two will mix with our Celtic civili
zation and become one of- us. but there is no
hope for such consummation with the colored
man. He has his own hurch. his own school
hi- own caucus, his own teachers, political,
social and scholastic, and lie will not mix
with th,* whites. He is drawing himself far
th r and farther away from the white people
every day. and all to iiis own detriment. XVe
are paving for schools for the colored people,
and it !- simply astonishing to see the ignor
ance of the teachers thev elect. It is gener
al I v conceded that mixed schools are linpos
-ible. and what are we to do?”
"if the success of the Republican partv will
place negroes in office in Florida again, there
are not manv ot the respectable white or
colored Republicans who would hope for such
success. There are thousands of honest and
intelligent colored people who know that to
contend for official position iu the south
would be* -incidal for their race, and few
white Republicanscouid tolerate such folly."
“At the convention of lSfi' the white tnen
managed the business; we carried the state
and held it eight years. At the convention of
lSTii the colored ’men led the white, and we
10-t the 'tate. The colored men have 10-t
every Southern State, and when "the wlilie
men’drop out and leave we And that fhe col
ored men are a cipher."
"Tin* white Republicans can vote for a w hite
Congressman for President and let the State
officers be elected by the Democrats.
"Tl r white Republicans cannot afford to
allow the colored people to have any control
in the State government.”
••It i- r*?jA>rtcd that a convention of the
white Republicans of Florida will meet at
some point in Florida soon to organize the
National Republican party of Florida, and
cut loose from the negro element entirely."
As to the Independent movement, the editor
charges that that faction has not the courage
to come out openly and "face the music," l>e
cause they know ’th't the mass of their fol
low! rs would desert them if they were openly
identified with the “nigger" party. ‘•There
are on y abont a dozen of them, an isbey want
office.” He plainly intimates that such’a coa
lition would not be profitable to the li-pubh
can-; that the less, must come 10 the greater,
and that they are still Democrats in di-guise.
Altogether these arc refreshing documents
at this early period of the campaign, and
show what a healthy reaction is taking place
among the thinkers of the Republicans.
A GROWING FLORIDA TOWN.
Some Facts About its Industries aud

XkWNansvillk. Fla.. May it.— Little is

Xcwnausville is situated sixteen mile-- south
east ot Gainesville, and was at one time the
county seat. It is i. corporate-!, having a
small bnt efficient local government, three
churches, an-1 fine academy, one saloon, four
large stores carrying larg* stocks, a good hotel
ami several private boarding houses, and two
drug stores. The medical staff consists of Dr.

Many of them are from eight to twelve years

The depot is situated one mile from town, at

GEN. HAWLEY SMILED.
The Connecticut Candidate’* Chance a*
a Conductor of Presidential Light
ning.
A correspondent held a conversation
with Gen. Joe Hawley on a train between
Hartford and this city to-day, says a
•pecial to the New York World, relative
to tk£ approaching National Republican
Convention. When questioned as to-the
probable result. Mr. Hawley replied:
“It will be just this way: Blaine and
Arthur will both go into the convention
with a large following, but insufficient to
carry it. Consequently one or the other
must give way. The followers of the can
didate who does this will unite on a lesser
light—or -dark horse’—and this man will
be the next President."
“If elected,’’ was interposed.
“Mv son,” Mr. Hawley sweetly mur
mured. "the Republican party could se
lect a wooden Indian cigar store sign and
elect it.”
-But who will be the ’lesser light.’or
‘dark horse V ”
“Well, Edmunds, or Lincoln, or”—
“Yourself,” put in the writer.
The Connecticut candidate smiled but
made no reply.and thejsmile and far-away
look never left him until New Haven was
announced.
A REVOLUTIONARY CLAIM.
An Appropriation for the Deira of Count
Pulaski.
A relief bill of historic interest now be
fore Congress, says a Washington special,
proposes to pay $150,000 to Josephine
Suffezynski Jaroska ad Casinair Suffe
zynski, as sole heirs, representatives and
descendants of Gen. Count C’asimir Pu
laski. It is nearly 105 years since Pulaski
was mortallv wounded at Savannah, and
memorials or various sorts have expressed
national appreciation of his services in
our revolutionary struggle. It seems
strange that the people of several genera
tions ago did not take care of any pecu
niary claims concerning him and his
relatives. To pav to the two persons now
indicated, at this late day, the sum of
$75,000 each, on the ground that they are
Pulaski’s descendants, would be making
a somewhat tardy, but a remarkably lib
eral award.
CONVENTION NOTES.
Delegates Gathering at Chicago.
John Stewart, of Pennsylvania, who
was the Independent Republican candi
date for Governor in ISS3, has been select
ed as the Columbian orator to present
Blaiue's name to the Chicago Convention.
This selection has been approved by
Blaine.
The committees found that the capacity
of the hall had heretofore been underesti
mated. Nearly 2,000 seats will be assign
ed to holders "of stage and pr* 6B tickets
and 2,000 more to delegates, alternates
and contesting delegations. Then 9,000
seats, including 1.500 in each ol the gal
leries and 720 in the private boxes, will
be left for the general public. A member
of the committees measured the hall to
day and found that it was exactly thirty
feet less in leiigth than the hall of 1880.
But what it lacks in length is partly made
up in the arrangement of chairs.
They are placed closer than in
1880" and are "a little smaller. The only
trouble to be apprehended is that the seats
will not be wide enough and there will be
a great deal of crowding. This morning,
when the committees explored the hall,
they made a discovery which caused
sonie amusement. They found that the
di-ectorsof the building, who applied for
000 seats and were refused, had surrep
titiously constructed platforms for about
100 seats tip in the west fly of the build
ing. access is obtained by a stairway
leading to the Treasurer’s office, outside
ot the hall proper, so that the committees
have really no authority over the tres
passers.
BLAINES PACIFIC COAST COLI MX.
There are indications of a Blaine boom,
which will receive an impetus next Satur
day morning when the Pacific coast dele
gates arrive by special train, which is
now coming across the continent with
banners announcing that the delegates
are lor Blaine and victory. They will be
reinforced probably on Sunday morning
by his friends from New York and Penn
sylvania. and on Monday by the delegates
front lowa and Kansas.
INDIANA'S DARK HOUSE.
The presence of John C. New has given
rise to considerable speculation regarding
the course likely to be pursued by the In
diana delegation. It is generally under
stood that Mr. New is a mortal er.emv of
Blaine, and it is supposed that he does
not really love Gen. Arthur, but as be
tween the two he prefers Arthur. There
are those who think that when the dele
gates from Indiana who hate been favor
able to senator Harrison get through voting
for him Mr. New would not object if they
went solid for the President. There is ap
parently no love between the Harrison
and the Gresham men in Indiana, and if
the Harrison men could be corralled for
Arthur and it was found that he could
not run, the entire Indiana delegation
might then be-swung for Gresham. In
fact, Gresham is just now regarded as
the most likely "dark horse.’’
ARTHUR'S FIGURES NOT TRUSTED.
Not every “friend of the President”
puts his trust in the estimates of the num
ber of Arthur delegates recently sent far
and wide from Washington. Those esti
mates, which gave him 377 sure votes and
about so doubtful ones, were swollen for
political effect. The immediate friends of
the President have other estimates for
their private use. One of these private
estimates was brought to this city from
Washington this afternoon, and it gives
Arthur 343. with a doubtful list of about
30. The same estimate allows Blaine 333.
and those who rely upon it account for
Arthur’s majority over Blaine by saying
that the President has lieen picking up
delegates every day for three weeks. It
does not appear that this estimate has
been given out for publication. If Blaine's
lieutenants were here they would proba
bly challenge the accuracy of these tlgures
and place their candidate'at the toy ot the
list, and far above Arthur.
Sudden Changes.
Changes of temperature are apt to occa
sion dangerous affections; in the full
blooded, apoplexy is to be leared. All,
l*>th young and aged, should have Bran
dketh’s Pills ready; thev are never
failing. When you have pain in the head,
are dizzy, feverish, rheumatic, or other
wise affected, take from three to teD, ac
cording to bulk of individual. In twenty
four hours, or less time, you will bo con
tent. Constitutions are much alike.
Vertigo, dizziness, and pain can come
only when impurity in the blood is too
much for "the life’* in us to carry without
a struggle. And it is this struggle that
Buaxdhkth’s Pills aid. and no mis
takes are made when you merely take
away impurities from the blood.
