Abolition begat Radicalism; Badical- Ism begat war; war begat Grant; Grant begat Thad Stevens ; Thad Stevens begat an “organized hell” in the South ; the “organized hell” begat the carpet-bagger, the carpet-bagger begat the Commune ; the Commnne begat “organized hell” at fhe North. A strange contrast is about to strike Ihe curious observer*)! passing events. It is said that acting Brevet-President Hays, besides retiring the few remaining troops now lagging behind in the South, Is going to issue a proclamation to the {States formerly in “rebellion” calling for ■volunteers and (he regular State militia to help suppressing disorder at the North. The Herald's correspondent at Berlin telegraphs that intense interest prevails in the German Capital regarding the great American railroad strike. Most of the papers have daily leaders on the subject. The Socialist leaders are loud in their eu logies of the executed Mollie Maguires, nnd to show their sympathy for the stri kers have opened subscriptions in their jfavor. Not much money is raised how ever. It is significant, says . the Nashville American, that the Democratic Conven tion of Ohio was the largest for years. The people are aroused. The Democracy Is needed. The party that ruled this country and watched over a prosperous people for fifty years is called for. Its laws were few, Bimple and general, and, above nil, equal, and made no discriminations. The people want this sort of a govern ment again. Conqbe88Man Blaokbubn, of Eentuoky, Is fairly humpbacked with the enormous amount of backbone he is carrying. Ac cording to his own estimate he was the only man who kept an erect spinal column through the electoral controversy last winter. Not only was Mr. Tilden a “ren egade,” but Thurman and Bayard and alj the rest of the leaders were “renegades.” Mr. Blackburn stood alone in liis glory, Willing to fight, if necessary, for the cause. The valiant gentleman made these (statements in a thundering speech at the “Boon Creek Burgoo” in Kentucky the other day. It seems that one reason why the troops proved of so little avail along the line of the Baltimore & Ohio Railroad in the neighborhood of Cumberland, Maryland, was that the commanding officer, General French, was intoxicated. Colonel Bharp, Master of Transportation of the road, ac cuses him of it, and on aooount of snoh accusation he was removed from com mand. The regular officers were very in dignant, not that the charge was made, but that Colonel Sharp, who they say “was a rebel in the late war,” could have been the means of bringing “such a man ns General French” into disgrace. In view of passing events, would it not be better for these valiant soldiers to drop their talk about “rebels” in the late war, and turn their attention to putting down the unruly and disorderly element of the North ? Tho correspondent of the Chicago Timet at the White Sulphur Springs, Virginia, telegraphs that paper that a letter whioh appeared in the New York Herald, of the twenty-first, dated at that place, wheres In the wirter professes to have interview* ed several Congressmen there,was written In Richmond just two hundred and twenty* seven miles away. Of the Congressmen purported to have been interviewed, not one of them were at the Springs, nor have they been this season, nor has the Herald s correspondent been there. ‘ ‘The speaker ship is rarely ever mentioned here,” says the Timet correspondent, “or those of aspirants cited by the correspondent. With the exception of Judge Reagan, of Texas, and Senator Hill, of Georgia, there are no Congressmen here.” Messb8. Smith, Edwards & C.’s last Liverpool Cotton Circular, says: “We must remember that we shall need a much larger crop of cotton than the last one. Consumption has rnn ahead of produc tion the past twelve months by 300,000 bales. No doubt the consumption of the world will again increase next year by 100,000 to 200,000 bales, sc that we »h«ll need 400,000 to 500,000 bales more next season simply to meet consumption. In other words we shall need an American crop of #4,750,000, with 100,000 to 200,- more from India. We think we are likely to obtain this increase if seasons are fa vorable ; but our reserves will run so low that we cannot faoe unfavorable seasons or any casualty to the crop without seri ous consequences. Our market will, therefore, remain in a sensitive condition until the critical time of growth is passed through. . Mildness conquers—and henoe it is that the gentle yet positive influence qf J>r. Bull’s Baby Syrup overcomes so quickly the disorders of Babyhood. Prioe PKJIIIHKBIT •■•DU M IMME DIATE DEATH. In the last few weeks we have had to note several eases of the violation of white girls,both inGeorgia and Alabama by negroes. In three days instances have occurred on both sides of the river within fifty miles of Colui&bus. The crimes have been aggravated by the brutality of the perpetrators, the helplessness of the viotims, and the isolation of the neigh borhood. These acts are becoming too frequent. There’s not a man in the land who would not rather see his wife and daughter, or relative, or friend, laid in the grave to have them subjected to suoh indignity. Better that they should be murdered in cold blood than their per sons should be outraged. Far better that tne most malignant and Vindictive re venge, the most foul and malicious atroci ties, than thus to rob the innocent and unsuspecting of virtue. The taint -will cling forever, the life is wrecked. Far better death ahould come. There is but one remedy to prevent such orimes, and that is to put the sooundrels who thus gratify their inhuman lusts out of existence. We are opposed to mob law in every shape a r d form, but the “rapist” is not a human being. He makes himself, by his act, the worst of outlaws— the foe of woman. He defies Ml institu tions, both human and divine^ and should be shot as any mad dog that ruins the physical being. Be oertain that the crime has been committed and the right person is in Custody, then hang him witout mercy. Be certain first, then show him the com passion he gave the viotim he overpow ered and destroyed. He is nothing but a brute, give him a brute’s death. Do not wait for the law’s slow delay. Be he white or blaok, and the /commission be dearly proven, let lynch law prevail. He gave no chance to his poor victim. He sac rificed her without a thought. Give him none after his guilt is established. We like the way Stewart oounty managed. On the spot where the negroes committed the deed they tried and hung them. Suoh measures will strike terror to the heart of the merciless scoundrels and protect the wives and daughters in thinly settled populations. As the perpetrators transform them selves into lustful animals who know no justioe nor leniency, put them out of the way summarily and promptly, as any oth er mad brute. The example will be felt. It is the only instance where immediate punishment should be wreaked, and where Judge Lynch should rule. Put yourself in the place of a father, husband or broth er, and answer in your own heart if im mediate death should not be the penalty of such an outrage. Rape is a crime for which there can. be no atonement. It is a thousand times worse than murder. STRANGE CONTRASTS. We'are sometimes disloyal enough to be pleased to bear of troops being oon- veyed from the South to the North to protect the people of that section from their own mobs. It may be very disloyal but we cannot help the feeling. The bummers were trained by. army officers while they were with the Federals in the South to burn and plunder. They have well remembered the lesson. We of Co lumbus experienced it when Gen. Wilson’s command, a week after General Lee’s surrender and after two days peaceable possession of our city, burned all the warehouses, 60,000 bales of cotton, five ootton factories, and immense iron works, and allowed the stores to be robbed in our midst. It is too early yet to forget these things, and by the conflagration at Pittsburg the bummers show they have not forgotten how to ply the torch. Is it not singular, however, that troops should be taken from the dis loyal South to subdue the loyal North, and there to protect the rights of prop erty? If the brevet President desires troops to protect the National Capital and property, he can obtain plenty of true ex- Confederates to rally to its support. THE PEOPLE'S VOICE. TME CONTENTION'S PROGRER Mighty Funny.—The Atlanta Consti- tion has the funniest sort of a man. _ He makes one “laff” he is so tremendously witty. He is “playing out,” however, and has called in the assistance of the “Colum bus Orphan” and together they are cut tingly witty. We some times wonder if the two will not start anew the lottery for the Orphan’s benefit and again make it a family affair. They are too witty, though, to think of without “luffing.” ALABAMA NEWS. —Mr. Jas.

CMTioiSMs or ouTwmsaa m room lob byists—A MBIER AT GOVESKOm OOM QUIT!—BAILBOAD TBOUBLB8. Special Oorrespendsnee Enquirer.] Atlanta, Satubday, July 28th. Hie Convention has entered on it- eigfateenth day. The announcement ought, it seems, to be a guarantee that a great deal has been done towards framing the new Constitution, that instrument of whioh we all expect so much. But such is not the case. The body has made, very slow progress. It has regulated the State militia. It has passed a great long bill of rights with lots of unnecessary stuff in it It has declared the rights of franchise, and now for two days it has been in a fume over the report of the Committee on the Executive Department, with the pros- peet of remaining on the matter at least two days longer. The Governor’s office has truly fallen into the hands of the Philistines. They have cut the term down to two years, and have placed an eternal barrier in the way of Cesarean ambition by declaring that no man is good enough for more than two terms. Not oontent with this, they have actually figured up the bills for flour, meal, meat and other family necessities, including a good dinner once in a while* and oome out with the announcement that $8,000 a year is as muoh as shy good Governor ought to want to live on. One ultra eoonomio genius wanted to put the salary down to $2,500, but the Convent tion passed over his stingy offer, and with oommendable generosity raised the amount by the lavish addition of $500. I am glad to hear the general ex pression of opinion against this aotion of the Convention. Four thousand dollars was not too large a salary for the Governor. Indeed, no man can live in proper dignity in the office with a less salary. Reform is a mighty good thing, but if there ever was a word misused and made ridiculous it is this. When I hear a man get up and speak an hour for “re trenchment and reform” I calculate how much his breath and jestures have cost the State, and how fine it would be if he would take heed of his own philosophy. The last Legislature was rampant for re form from its first day’s session, and we never had a body which oost so much in proportion to the work it did. The argu ment that reform demanded the cutting down of the Governor’s salary is ridicu lous. The people want a saving somewhere that will be worth more than $1,000 a year and they want no petty saving at the expense of the dignity of the State. In all the Eastern States where the Gover nor’s salary is very small there are fifty rioh men to one in Georgia. One thing is sure, under the present salary a Gover nor must live in the plainest style or draw on his private income if he has any. Poorly paid officials are often the oostliest of all. The “reformers” are actually going on in their general hewing down and they propose to reduce the Judges of the Su preme Court. Judge Warner says “when a man goes on that bench he takes the black veil.” The judges are employed nearly ten months in the year, and any reduction in their already small salary would be an act of injustice most unwor thy of the 'Convention. If the present Supreme Court Judges are out down, I believe every one of them will resign, for either of the three could easily make $5,090 a year at the praotioe. The Circuit Judges have work enough and little pay now, but the Con vention will probably oarve off $500, or more, from their salaries, and increase their already heavy labors. So the game goes on. THS.FOOB LOBBYISTS are in trouble. Judge A. R. Wright per sisted in his fight against them until he won. They are to be crippled by strict statutes and their fine art is declared a crime. Every good man ought to be glad of the passage of this law. Any idle spectator can see in a single day how dis gusting a spectacle is lobbying, even around suoh a body of good men as the Convention. There are men in Georgia who have actually made it their profes sion to button-hole Potiphar Peagreen, treat him out of his wits and steal money out of the State treasury with his pliant paw. When the rule of such creatures is over, and they are not longer tolerated about the capital, our politics will assume a respectability now wofully wanting. A DET1BMINED EFFOBT was made Friday morning to out down the term of Governor Colquitt to two years so as to bring on the eleotion in 1878. A hot fight progressed over the matter for two hours and it was finally tabled, but only by a vote of 100 to 85. It is charged by some of the Governor’s friends that the effort was made by a reg ularly organized ring, some of the leaders of which had particularly dear interest in an early election. Nearly every promi nent man in the body voted against any abridgement of the present Governor’s term. BULLOCK BONDS. Memorials continue to oome in upon the Convention from Northern holders of Bollock bonds, preying protection and claiming to be the most innooent of all purchasers. They are generally referred .without being read, and their fate will be one in all probability. It will require the establishment of the prettiest sort of a case to make the Convention pay any sort of serious attention to such a claim. It is dangerous to make any discrimina tion in this matter, where fraud has been so malignant and general. PERSONAL. Mr. Porter Ingram, of your county, maintains his name as a foe to all waste of time. Whenever the Convention gets into a muddle, or goes to all sorts of side issues, he promptly rises and squelches the whole matter by a motion to “lay on the table,” in which he is usually success ful. If there were more members who appreciated time and disliked gush as muoh as he, the body would move much faster. One of the acutest debaters in the body is George F. Pierce, of Hancock, a bril liant young man who figured in the Leg islature from 1871 to 1873, and is one of the most polished speakers in the Coni vention. There is about his oratory some of the richness and strength that so beau tifully adorn that of his unde, Bishop Pieroe. Gen. Wolford is said to be fixing his plans to run for Governor in 1880, but his course in the Convention will hardly help his aspirations. He has been thrown sev eral times, cnee notably by Col. Nat of Fallon, who down on him with a record of his own vote on a matter whose eristeneo he had a moment or two before denied. But Gen. Wofford is immensely popular in Cherokee, Georgia, and will bring a big following into the race if he enters it. THC BUREAUX, it seemn, are doomed, though they will find hearty defenders on the floor when they oome tty for trial. The Committee (in gone pmm- Hie propriety of their abolition may be seriously ques tioned. The Geological Bureau has dime more for Georgia than any public move ment sinoe the war, and has really opened the eyes of the country to our-rich re sources. - The development of the mining interests is mainly due to Dr. Little end his zealous assistants. The Agricultural Bureau also be made the source of greet good and has already done much. Strangers visit the bureaux very fre quently, end if properly maintained they ooalfl be made e panorama of the entire State. But I fear they are doomed. the BAILBOAD STB IKE. The absorbing topics of the Convention were ^superseded in the public mind on Friday, by the general impression that huge railroad strike had been planned this oity. It was reported that all employees of every road would join in and that they would make matters quite lively for the officials. A curious oireular in big black letters was circulated Friday night through every railrAd shop in the city. It was addressed to railroad officials, and informed them that, while the employees did not meditate anything like violence, yet they stood ready to strike at once if their wages were not restored to what they were before recent reductions. The circular further stated that every train leaving the city could be stopped at a moment’s notice and all the shops closed. There is no doubt that this strike has been planned, though it will not probably be carried out now. All employees of the different roads have recently held secret meetings and they are yet in great eommotion about some thing. The employees of the Western & Atlantio road have oome out in a card and denied that they have any part in this matter and declare that they are ready to fight for their road if neoeasary and mean to go on and dd their duty. If the strike does not take place to-night, it will not ocour at all. The subsidence of the trouble at the North will tend to destroy a similar movement here.

Mercer, as attorney for certain parties at the North, filed three separate suits in the office of the Clerk of the United States Courts against the Cen tral Railroad and Banking Company. These suits are for damages sustained by the Insurance Company of North Ameri ca, through the loss of ootton burned at the fire at the Central Railroad depot on November 13, 1876. They are brought in the names of oertain parties “for the use” of the Insurance Company, and are as follows : Wm. J. King A Son, of Providenoe, R. L, for the use of the Insurance Company of North Amerios, at Philadelphia, for thirty-six bales of cotton, valued at $3,- 000. W. S. Bussell and Charles H. Mason, of Philadelphia, for use of same oompany, etc., for fifty bales of ootton, valued at $3,000. S. Fat man A Co., of New York, for use, etc., as above, for one hundred and thirty- three bales of oottoD, valued at $12,000. These petitioners claim that the cotton was destroyed through want of proper care tmd by the oulpable neglect of the said Central Railroad Company. In addition to the above suits, we learn there will be another filed by C. M. A W. S. Smith, of Providence, for a large amount. These cases will be brought up for trial at the November term aof the court, and will attract great interest, as involving some important points, legal and com mercial. THE BELLIGEBENT8. BU8SIAN8 LOSE 400 PRISONERS AT PLEVNA. Bucharest, July 28.—The Russians loss at Plevna included 400 prisoners and two standards. It is believed the Rus sian force is preparing to move on Plevna in overwhelming numbers and unless Osman Pasha retires, he will pay dearly for his previous sucoess. SULEIMAN pasha’s DEFEAT CONFIRMED—HE LOSES TEN GUNS. London, July 18.—The Times' Vienna correspondent has the following confirma tory of the defeat of Suleiman Pasha at Kara Bemar, near Yeni Saghra, yester day; Suleiman Pasha’s advanced guard of ten battallions and two batteries has been defeated, losing ten guns and a conside rable quantity of munitions. Suleiman, himself, remains at Adrianople. In con sequence of this reverse the hopes re posed in Suleiman at Constantinople are muoh diminished. It is feared the Rus sians encouraged by this snocess, will again begin marching rapidly on Adrian ople and Southern Roumania. ENGLAND. EMBARKATION OF TROOPS FOB MALTA— CHEERS FOR THE TURKS. London, July 28.—The embarkation at Portsmouth, for Malta, by the Crooodile yesterday was signaled by a good deal of enthusiasm, in marked contrast to the departure of the Euphrates on the pre ceding day, whioh passed almost unno ticed. A call of three obeers for the Turks, uttered by some on the wharf, was responded to with great spirit from the departing troop ship. Some person took aboard a large number of violent anti- Russian pamphlets, and gave them to the sergeants for distribution amongst the troops. RUSSIAN PRESS ABUSING ENGLAND. London, Jnly 28.—A special from Ber lin to the Times says in consequenoe of the dispatch of British troops to Malta, a regular campaign has been opened by the entire Russian press against the Eng lish. Some journals laugh at the insignificant force England can spare for an Eastern war. Others fiercely declare that odious England is fighting Russia even now, see ing that the Egyptian troops have been equipped with English money, while all agree in regarding English antagonism as a matter of indifference, and not to be dreaded by Russia. FRANCE. SPEECH OF THE PRESIDENT AT BOUBGE8— PEACE THK POLICY OF FRANCE. Special to Enquirer-Sun.] Paris, July 28.—President MaoMahon arrived at Bourges where the Mayor pre sented an address.

There had been no violation of the Constitution, or interference with the liberty of con science, or jeopardizing of foreign rela tions. Public good sense at home and abroad has estimated these calumnies at their true value. They will not dis courage or prevent me from fulfilling my task with the help qf the men who have hitherto been supporters of my policy. I am con fident the nation, will respond to my ap peal, and will choose representatives who will terminate the conflict which if pro longed, could only be hurtful to the country's interests and check the paoific developments of its greatness. Alluding to foreign affairs the President said France had done all in her power to localize the war in the East. Peace, he said, is the first policy of the French people IDAHO INDIANS.
