Ton Damoerata oarried the municipal
election in Mobil*, on Monday, by a ma
jority whioh cannot be reveraed by a
trieky oourt, or aat aeide by a Cbaneary
decree. A apacial to the Montgomery
Adeertieer aaya that the majority ot Al-
pbonaa Hurtel, and the regular ticket,
over J. M. Wither*, and the Independent
tioket, ia not laae than 1,800.
Taa Radical majority in Oongresa per-
aiatin voting down propowd investiga
tion* into the oonduotof Federal offloiale.
On Monday, Gen. Young, of Georgia,
tried to have Maj. MerrelPa conduct in
Boath Carolina and Louiriana ihvaati-
gatad, bat the House soouted the idea of
sueh a thing. Mr. Bromberg, of Ala
bama, on the same day, triad to have an
investigation of the alleged interference
of Federal ofllciala to protect the safe
burglars. But the House refused jo inves
tigate, by a vote of 74 to 81. Perhaps it
will not b* too lata for these investiga
tions next winter.
A tabu recently prepared from olBoial
statamant* for 1873 and 1874 gives th*
taxable valuations and the rataa of Btat*
taxation in the several Stated. The rates
vary all the way from 10 oenta on the
$100 in Connecticut, to the enormous sum
of $3 13 on the $100 in Louisiana. The
rate ia 50 oenta in Alabama, Arkansas, Cal
ifornia, Maine, Minnesota, Texas and Vir
ginia ; 40 oenta in Georgia, Kansas, Ohio
and Tennessee; 70 oenta in Florida; 34
cants in Illinois; 15 oenta in Indiana; 17
oanta in Maryland; 22 cents in Miohigan;
$1 13j in Nevada; 72j oenta in New
York; 15 oenta in Oregon; 20 cent* in
Rhode Island, and 70 cents in South Car
olina.
Tax Maoon paper* note the meeting of
a Urge number of prominent Bontbern
railroad men in their city on Monday, rep
recanting two hundred millions of dollars
of railroad capital. The Central Railroad
and its several branches, the Western and
Atlantic, the Atlanta Air-Une, and a num
bar of important railroads in Alabama,
South Carolina, Tennessee and other
States, were represented. Th* Telegraph
aays: “Hia objeot of the oonfereuo* was
to devise mesne to rectify the evils grow
ing out of the underbidding for freight by
oompating line*. W* understand that th*
masting was entirely harmonious, and
that a division of business was agreed
upon, also uniform freight tariffs. The
meeting is liksly to remit beneficially to
th* roads and to th* publio."
On Monday the Louisiana Returning
Board deolared another Radical Senator
alaotad, contrary to the known vote of
th* people of the District, oomprising
the parishes of.De8oto, Bed River and
Natehitoohaa. It also oounted in a Rad
ical Representative from St. Tammany,
instead of tha Democrat who wm dearly
alec tad. When it finished its labor* Mon
day evening, it had deolared th* election
of 47 Damoeretic and 38 Radical Repre
sentatives. The parishes yet to be passed
upon eleoted 19 Damoerata and 5 Radi
oala, but a quibble ha* been raised aa to
aaeh, and there is no telling how the Board
will count them.
AB A PARTY MEASURE.
Our apprehension that tha new Finan
cial aoheme agreed upon by a Congres
sional oommittee wa* only intended as a
common “platform” for the Republican
party, is shown to have been oorrect by
tha vote of tha Senate. Every Repnbli-
oan Senator supported it, and every Dam
ocratio Senator opposed it, without re
gard to aaotion or previous committal up
on this subject. When we oonsider bow
vary inharmonious parti** ware on thU
question six months ago, whan every
feature ot the new aoheme was before
Congress and th* oountry for oonaidera-
tion and nation, we are foroibly aduon
iahad of the superior power of party over
prinoiple and conviction. It is no doubt
true that aom* Democrats, in now op-
paring tha main faatuna of this schema,
.re a* inconsistent a* tha majority ot tha
Kapublieana are in supporting it. But
their opposition fiuds coma palliation in
tha known (not that this sohama is not a
ionajlde plan tor th* attainment of it*
laoribla objaat, that its manna at* inade

fessed ends, and that it has baan agreed

Th* Washington HjpuNleem ot Monday,
—“‘-‘-g th* notion of th* Republican
oausna which agraad apes this nehama,
states It* provisions Joat aboat aa they
have bean given us by telegraph. Its re
port ia a Httla mors explicit a* to the ac
cumulation of gold to be used on the 1st
day of January, 1879, in tha redemption
of legal tenders, and the bond* author-
lead to be sold if n******ry to raise more
gold. It Is th* “surplus" of gold in th*
Treasury on that day that is to be used,
and th* Hsoratary i* empowered to sail
“any bonds of the United States now
autborisad" to procure more gold if need
ed. No provision for th* accumulation
of gold before 1879 is yst reported, nor
any for tbs increase of revenue. Hole
tha Treasury is than to b* ia a batter
condition to raanm* than it now is, doas
not yal appear. It eonld now sail th*
bonds, aad it cuuld now apply the “sur
plus. ” Tha preparation for th* resump
tion sgreed upon is what ia wanting in
tha scheme. But th* HepuNtean aaid on
Monday that it would undoubtedly pa-a
th* Bansta, and this prediction baa already
been verified. It also had aasnranoe* that
th* House would conoar, and ia no doubt
correct in this too. It declare* that “th*
Republican who doas not aocept it, or
rather th* Mans in it, should b* notified
to laava th* party immediately”—a throat
suflioiant in ltaalf to warrant us ia pro
nouncing this Financial sehams a mere
party platform, oouslrueted to maintain a
party organisation and not in any wall-
grounded belief that it will raliava th*
country of its flnsnoial troubles.
“ERNIGBITY ABB BO *1."
An artlol* from tha Mason Telegraph
nndar this head, saams to sail for some
notio* from ns, avers* as wa are to the
discussion of personal matters in a news
paper. We faal oalled upon to notice it,
if only to diaolaim the arrogano* of wi*.
dom and experience' superior to that of
tha senior of th* Telegraph, who certainly
well marits th* appellation of “Nestor of
the Georgia Praas,” whether ha b* tha
oldest editor in th* Btat* or not. Tha ti
tle ao wall baeomas him, that we Insist on
his westing th* blushing honor with be
fitting grass.
We might acquiaae* in the distinction
of seniority, as raapaets age and aarrioe,
wars it not that brother Oliaby makes un
fortunate reference to dates, whioh, like
old documents, are dangerous things. At
the time which h* mentions as th* com
mencement of bis editorial oaraar, w*
were a hard-working apprentice in a
North Oarolina printing ofllca, and in our
subsequent experience as ao editor w*
have found no relaxation of th* hard la
bor incident to our early training. In
only on* thing can w* truthfully claim
any advantage of our Maoon friend, and
that ia in th* unbroken ooatinuity of our
service in tbs “pram gang." He has had
five years of relaxation, while all
of ours would not amount to eighteen
months, tbrowiog in every Christmas,
Thanksgiving and Fourth of July. It
used to be a remark of the lamented
Horace Graeley, that he had been trying
for thirty years to grin a day in which he
oould go fishing. In Ilk* manner w* have
been toiling for over thirty years to put
ourself in a position (bat would allow our
retirement from tha oonflnlng, tread-mill
Ufa of tbs editorial room. It has been
the hoight of our ambition to give up this
harassing mental labor and substitute for
it soma occupation giving more bodily
exaroiaa. That long-deferred consumma
tion is not puffs within our reach yet, but
we will “live in hop* if we die in
despair.”
As brother Gliaby says, all of us are
old enough to set good examples, and wa
ought to do it, by tha anoouragement of
whatever is patriotic and unselfish in pub
lio, and whatever is generous and nobla
in private life. The press of the oountry
is aa “estate" too important and influ
antial to permit its prostitution to un-
worthy ends or selfish purposes. W*
cannot all ba Nestors or Greeleya, but we
may all do muoh to make tha press wbat
it should aver ba—“liberty's legis and

that ho had known the deceased ihtimate-

A paragraph from the Monroe Adter-
tteer, copied into the Georgia Frees col-
utnu a day or two ago, give* the Benior
editor of th* Telegraph undo* honor as
th* oldest newspaper editor in Georgia.
It may be that he has been longest in
barnem—(nines 1889; bora in 1818, end
tagging at the oar for thirty-five years,
with occasional episodes of travel and re
laxation, amounting in all say to aboat
five yearn.) But although old enough to
act a good example, w* should say that
Brother Bonghton, of th* Milledgeville
Southern Keeorder, Is entitled to th* tint
position, were it not for reading some
months ago about hie youthful froiloa in
tho ourf with th* sylphs at Lung Branch.
Ho long aa Ool. B. indulge* in enoh diver
sion* e* these, it te unlawful or unfriendly
to talk about age.
Then, too, there le Brother Martin, of
the Oolnmbns Exquiaxa, oar senior in
yaar* and wisdom, too. Martin ia tba
very model of a dear, foreibl* and jndi- _. . - . ... v .. .
Dion* writer, and a perfectly safe editor
of a newspaper. Nothing bat round oon-
cluaione, and wise and prudent eounsel,
ever dropped from hia pen.
A very Urge proportion of the Georgia
brethren ot the praas ere getting past th*
meridian; but ego, after all, ia not repre
sented altogether by years. We should
nay th* oldest editor in Georgia, in come
respect*, is our young brother Grady of
the Atlanta Herald, while Col. Clarke ot
the Constitution ia eertaialy not for be
hind him.
Than, too, epeaking ot oar young
brother Thompaou, of th* Haven nan
Hetee, wo should aay h* to not far from
thro* aeon and tan, and atill aa lively as
a eolt. Ool. Bty!*a, of tha Albany New,
will oblige na by counting his grey hair*,
bat he still thandsn an vigorously a*
aver, and hia oontamponry Raaaell, of
tha Central City, ia about aa old a chicken
a* the senior of the Telegraph.
In short, we nr a all old anongh to be good
man and wise pnblie counsellors. To dis
play moderation, tolsrano* and impartial
ity, and n profounder ***** of tbs re
sponsibilities of the editorial poritioo,
which calls for something like the impar
tiality and calmness of th* Bench. It is
strange that while pmjodio* and exoito
rn *nt at* universally held to bo oapttal
disqualification* for print* and paraonal
eoansal, they should over be considered

was an infidel.

Tom Paine were hia standard works. He
waa married three limes end had heavy
domestic affliotion*. Over these we draw
the veil of silence. It will suffice to say

whole life. He received money at differ
ent times from friends here, and was
naver known to break an obligation.
