THE ENBCIBER-Htm.
It has passed through the aummer with
full amount of readiog matter, more than
uy daily Riper whloh has ever before
been published in Columbus. Iostesd of
tiBinishlag, we hsve ioereased the read
ing iolumiu. Babesriban have appreci
ated our efforts, ud our lists have been
largely added to. It ia a rule to reduce
rinding matter duringtba - aummer. We
filled every inch of available spaee, ud at
tba same time red need the subscription
prloa.
Wa ou aay, too, notwithstanding this
increase of reading matter, and henoe in
crease in ooat, ours ia the only daily paper
ever known in this eity whloh has paid
•xpenaaa during the summer. The En-
Qoimm-Stni haa not only paid expenses,
but has made money. Hitherto all have
lost. This evinces the appreciation in
wbioh it is held by the pnblio.
Thera ia no section Within one hundred
miles of Columboa where oar journal is
not read. It is on file at the “Great Osn-
tonnigl,” ud the clerk who attends visit
ors reports there is no publication in the
Sonth whioh ia so frequently asked for.
Our subscribers, wbo are being continu
ally enlarging by cash receipts, ssy ours
is one of tbe vary beat papers In Georgia,
ud many place it first on tbe list. No
labor, pains nor money ia spared to ob
tain tba latest ud moat reliable intelli-
genoe. We have never padded u issue.

Wa are grateful to friends for encour
agement. Wo have endeavored to give
them full returns for their money. The
muy letters, kind words and oash we
reoeive ornate the impression tbit our
subscribers believe we “know how to run
a newspaper.”
Oar advertising rates are as low as the
times will afford. We do not follow the
eastern hitherto adopted by oharging home
people more than those abroad. All we
ask tre fair living terms. If a paper
build* up a large subscription list, it is
done by time, labor, money ud prido in
the profession; and after attaining it, w*
pat an advertisement before ten thousand
readers, it is oertainly worth more to the
advertiser than if read by one thousand.
Some people prize a paper because it outs
under tbe rate* of another. With uv Ibis
will not do. We have our rate* for all
people alike. You oan send your adver
tisement to our offloe, ud you will be
obarged no more than if you oome your
self and try to beat us down in price. If
this is not right, we must remain in error.
Wa would not like to trade with a mer
chant that has two prioes for his goods.
We enter the fall with a larger list of
paid np subscribers, ud with more read
ers, than any Columbus paper ever attain
ed, and tbe promise of a greater enlarge
ment. We hope in a short timo to have
a journal of larger size, to anzwer the
wute of a rapidly increasing circulation.
THE LETTER OF EX-OOV. D. P.
LEWIS.
We publish this letter in full this morn
ing. Four years ago be wu elected,
through Democratic indifferenee ud fail
ure to attend the polls, Governor of Ala
bama by the Uepnblious, and bis rule
wu very aooeptable to them. He wu re
nominated, but defeated by Gov. Hous
ton. He wu known as an aotive Repub
lican ud hu nntil now been intimately
aasooiated with that organization. He
now declares be will support Tilden and
Hendricks because the Republican party,
in eleven years, hu completely demon
strated its inoapaoity to restore national
peace ud a fraternity of equality among
the aeotions. His arguments are strong.
Wa are ready to deny some of hiB state
ments, but no disposition to question the
oonolusions he bus reuchcd from so differ
ent a stand point to our own. He per-
oeives the necessity for a ohauge in Gov-
eminent, and intends employing his wide
influence to effect that end. The Radi-
oal papers may gnash their teeth, but
Gov. Lewis gives most logical and ilawleu
reasoning for the oonrse adopted.
WHAT IlVtluilE NEXT?
Ths impression seems to prevail in
army headquarters that the Indiana have
outwitted both Crook ud Terry, ud
escaped to places of ufety. This may
release a large number of troops from ac
tive service, ud it is possible that Don
Cameron may ba able to get them away in
time to be used in the Sooth. Tbe fear,
however, ia expressed that theu ill-starred
expeditions, ud the annihilation of Cus
ter’s oommud, may embolden the hostile
savages in bands to make predatory war
fare on tbe unprotected frontier u soon
u tbe troops retire into winter quarters
ud muy are removed to other sections.
The muagement of Indian affairs ia really
abominable, ud hu oost many hundreds
of valuable lives. What are white men
worth, however, when the sole efforts of
the Government are directed to tbe elec
tion of Hayes ud thus giving Grant a
third term 'i
The most remarkable speech ever made
by a presiding offloar hu jost bean deliv
and in Florida. The mu who made it is
a member of the Legialatuie, and he wu
oal led to the chair unexpectedly by a oon
vention of hit constituents. Here it ia in
full: “Yon know I ou’t make a speech
Wo earns have for something else. I hop*
yon will not make uses of yonraelvu ud

no mote good advioo wu never crowded
into so short a space.

RaUroad* »f IA* United Slates for the
years of 187B-7 l ha* just bun issued. It
gi van'll description of every toad in the
entire country, and n mass of stetiatioa
with whioh investors should be familiar.
Troin the book aoma interesting data are
obtained.
Oat of 691 railway* operated daring
the you, only 166 paid dividends. Thau
roads ambraoe some of tba most impor
tant ud eoatiy lines. Tbe dividend pay
ing roads aggregate 28,829 mites
and $1,047,887,832; tbe non-paying, 40,-
930 miles, ud $1,160,773,449.
The mum of this oonsists in building
roads on oredil, the iunance of bonds
wohse interest ounot be met, high sala
ries, and exoeavive competition at oertain
points and raining* others by enormous
tariffs, And the aaorifioe of local busineu
to tbe obtaining of a through traffic whioh
does not pay expanses. The last is the
hue of tbe Booth, ud eooh management
is destructive to the interest of the inte
rior, whioh really should be bnilt up by
ovary means possible, instead of depress
ed by very heavy rates in oomparison with
points reaohed by several routes.
A writer in the Manual, in a review of
internal improvements for the put one
hundred years, expresses the eonviotion
that “we have no right to expect the rate
of railway construction in tbe futnre will,
for a great muy yean at tout, oome np
to that of the put. Two or throe thous
and miles may, and probably will, be
bnilt yearly. The progress to be made in
the future is to be in tbe reduotion in tbe
oost of transportation. We have already
shown that the rates of ohargeson freight
have been reduced by at least two-thirds
within twenty five years. In oonsequence
of auab redaction produce oan now be
moved 1,81X1 miles at the same cost as it
oould be moved 800 miles twenty-five
years ago. With every reduotioo of cost
our available area ia extended, and with
it our ability to oompete in the supply of
breadstuff* with other food-growing Conn-
tries."
THE NEW YOEK TIME* NOW AND
IN '1S7I.
Tbe New York Times is' the most viru
lent sheet in the whole North. Its main
argument is abuse and detraction of the
South. It flannta the bloody shirt to a
worse degree than Morton. It now em
ploys colnmns in slandering Gov. Tilden,
aoonsing him of swindling and perjury in
1862. Would it be believed that this pa
per published the following in 1871 ? It
is a faot however. Here is the extract, u
it apprara in this honorable, bigh-toned
sheet of the 7th of November, 1871:
Vote for Samuel <1. Tilden. Esteem it
an honor ud a privilege to elect Samuel
J. Tilden to the Legislature. He has
shown himself a gallut, oonsoientions,
efficient foe to corruption. We appeal to
every Repnbliotn to work ud vote for
hiin, and do so the more cheerfully—as
we make this appeal—because he is an
honest Demoorat.
Hates Must Explain.—Hayes is now
in a “peek of trouble” about about four
hundred dollars whioh a ohaplsin tells be
took from a Federal soldier during tba
war, who was to have been shot the next
day, end which money was never aooonnt-
ed for. A dispatoh to tbe Cincinnati En
quirer, published in this paper, has some
thing in reference to the affair. A Briga
dier General and Republican candidate
for the Presidency, who would stoop to
rob a man’s heirs of $400‘has reaohed the
depths of maoness.
Plundzb.—This represents tho entire
Republioan soheme for the “paeifioation
of tbe Sonth." They have been pacify
ing some States for eleven years. The
Southern States, at the cIobc of tho war,
owed $88,342,253.42. The Radical “paci
fiers” inuven years inoreased the amount
to $284,000,000, and quantities of the
money have gone into the hands of tbe
politiosl adventurers and carpet-baggers.
The Courier-Journal recalls the faot
that tbe oiroauutuooa surrounding the
death-bod of Mr. Kerr's father wore strik
ingly similar to those attending tbe last
hours of the late Speaker. His disease
was of the asms peculiar nature as that
of his son, and bis mind was perfectly
dear nntil the last. He convened freely
with thou about him ftnd gave dying
obarges to his sons, whioh, in the oase of
one at least, made the rules that governed
his futnre life. The Courier-Journal
also Bays that Mr. Kerr had some property
when he Bret entered publio life, but that
he dies a poor man.

New York Bun;}
Washington, August 27. — Senator
Wisdom, Chairman of the Sonet* Com
mittee on Appropriations, in a ape*oh
mad* in the Baoate a taw days before tba
adjournment of Oongrees, introduced a
table prepared by Assistant Secretary
Consul, purporting to show the receipts
and disbursements of the Government
from lie organization to June 80, 1876;
exhibiting also the emoont of dofalMtions
and the ratio of suoh losses per $1;000 to
the aggregate received and dishorned,
arranged is nearly as praotlMble In peri
ods of administration. In this official
statement the loasea daring Grant’s ad
ministration by defalcation, and in other
ways, are set down as follows: Total
loasea in collection and disbnrsement of
Revenne from Oostoms, and all other
aouroea, Post Offloe, War, Navy, Pensions,
Indian* and Miscellaneous from 1869 to
June 30, 1876, $2,846,192.12. This, it ia
claimed, to a very favorable showing, apd
special oomparison i* mad* with the Ad
ministration of Andrew Johnson, during
whioh it is claimed that tha total loss ex
were $4,619,699 81.
Now, this official statement prepared
by Assistant Secretary Conant is wilfully
and deliberately falM, and the figures in
it are “oooked” for campaign purposes,
as I shall proceed to show. In February
last Senator Davis, of West Virginia, af
ter repeated efforts auooeeded in having a
resolution passed the Senate calling on
the Secretary of the Treasury for a state
ment of all balansM doe to the United
Stetes from pnblio offloers, and all suoh
balances due from other parties (no long
er in the service) whose account* termin
ated sinoe 1809.” In reply to this reso
lution, Secretary Bristow sent to the Sen
ate, under date of Jane 17,1876, a volu
minous document, in which this informa
tion in detail was supplied. The Demo
cratic Senators ondravored to have this
document printed, but the Republicans
strenuously and suooeaafolly resisted.
Now, from this official statement, pre-
pared under tbe direction of Secretary
Bristow, I extraot the following Rutuma-

plentiful, so muob bo that walls of rooms
were papered with them. Now that Rad

he would do so. Chamberlain knew bet

Correspondence ol the New York Sun.}
Chicago, August 20.—Regular oavalry
soldiers are being rapidly recruited under
the recent act of Congress increasing tbe
maximum strength of companies to one
.hundred men each, but they are not to go
West, but South. Every man enlisted
for servioo on tbe plains will be concan
trated at tbe St. Lonis barraoks, and there
deployed aooording to the caprioe of
Grant and his cohorts.
How do I know this ? Simply by con
versation with army offioers at Sheridan’s
headquarters to-day. I was there in
formed that additional troops are not
wanted by Crook or Terry, and, even
though they were, they oould not be for
warded in time to be of servioe this sea
son. The Missouri river is lower than it
has boen for years. Boats have stopped
running aud transportation cannot be so-
oured by that ronte. The other route i*
by tbe Union Pacific to Cheyenne, thence
by marohing 700 miles over a barren,
desolate oonntry, to where the army is
supposed to be, and where no supplies
could be forwarded in qusntitioe, or
speedy enough to sustain an increased
force. The Washington Administration
is, and has been playing a bold, danger-
oub game. Congress was deoeived into
increasing the number of scouts to
1,000, which give a foroalbatwaa deemed
sufficient to cope with the savage*. Tbe
noraber of Indians was greatly overstated,
and Congress waa again deoeived into
passing Banning's army bill, a measure
Ibat adds 2,500 men to tbe army of 16,-
000 that now Infests tba Sootb. If tba
troth were known, tbe feet would trans
pire that this ornet war was not only un
necessary, but was provokod, wilfully
and deliberately, for political purposes.
