Tn Democrat* expect to oarry Wlaeon ain thia year alao, and in oogaeqaenee the political allnation there ia attracting aome attention. Aoxxw, the Hepnblioan Mayor of Oo- Inmbfa, S. 0., ha* been fined $1,600 for aaeanlting a man recently reieaaed from the Inaene Aaylnm. Tn mnch abnaed Gen.

Tn London World declare* that an American oitixen, apeaking the other day of the preaent etate of France, obearved lo a friend: “Hell itaelf conld not be anooaeefnlly conducted on anoh princi ple*.'' In imitation of Gen. Howard the com mander of the Philadelphia militia at Pittabnrg will laane a congratulatory gen eral order to hi* troop*. He will congrat ulate hlmaelf and hi* men that they were not oyertaken when dying from the enemy. AooomniNo lo the crop reporta reooived at the Agricnltnral Department at Waah- ington, the yield of wheat will reaoh826,- 000,000 bnahela. Thia ia 60,000,000 buahela in ozceaa of the orop of laat year, and will leave a anrplna In the oonntry of 1,000,000 for export. Tax moat aeriona condition of affaira, and the wont apprebenaiona of trouble to oome, are in the Lackawanna ooal region of Pennsylvania. The striking miners hare compelled a total suspension of work both in the mines and on the rail roads that oarry the coal prodnot to mar ket. Tn* Constitution agree* with ns that the exposition at TbomaaTille thia fall is to be the “fair of the State." All we have to say about tho one to be giren by the State Agrionltnral Society ia to recall the attention of hnndreda to the fiasco made of the laBt one at Atlanta, and we see no prospect of tho ooming one being any better. Sborxtabt SuxnauN states that there are $00,000,000 of greenbacks deposited in the United States Treasury for safe keeping. The iron vaults serve in lieu of stocking legs. No wonder times are oloae. What we need ia a state of affaira that will bring out thia idle aurrenoy and give it oironlation among the people. Tbr assertion that the strikers on the railways have been driven to their violent aota by anoh a rednction in their wages a* left them “not enough to live on” i* utterly at varianoe with the faots in the oaae. The Tribune yesterday showed that the engineers and firemen on the New York and Pennaylvania lines have atruok against rates of payment which are actually 36 per cent, higher than tbe same classes of railwaymen reooived in I860, while the average of prices of the neoeasarloa of life (including in th6 term many articles which twenty years ago worn regarded ns luxuries, such as ooffee, tea and tobaooo) are but 7 per cent, higher than in I860. Col. John A. Jorox, who has been in oarcerated for aome time in the Miasouri penitentiary for his own crooked whiskey ains, and those of Avery, Baboook and other Hepnblioana of “sound principles,” says, in proapeot of bis release, whioh i* believed to be near : “I shall go to New York to live and if I have auy documents or information of valne, as so often alleged, I shall be heard from through the press of that city. I have suffered enongh from the malevolence of those who, of all others, should have befriended me, and, when onoe more at liberty, I intend that the oonntry at large shall know all tbe faots oonneoted with my imprison ment, the oanse and motives leading thereto." Joyce asserts that Avery onoe told him that if be would give him and Baboook $6,000 he would aeoure his re lease. He deolined to negotiate, and will doubtless make it hot for Avery, Baboook, and several other notables, when he gets out. Tn* street arabe of St. Louis, like their compatriots everywhere, are blessed with an abundanoo of mother wit. While the “tree lunohers" of that oity were lately roaming around oarrying banners in scribed “Bread or blood, down with the capitalists,” the gamins were alBo having their fnn. Bays the Rejmblican ; A lot of ragged urohina, to the num ber of about a hundred, paradod the streets, headed by one with a tin pan by way of dram, whioh he was beating with two pieoes of lath. They bore a hnge paper banner, on whioh was Inscribed the words: WE DONT WANT BREAD, f | WE WANT CAKE AND PIE, OB BLOOD!I! ■TBONEB llimBOr WEAKER The New York Herald every now end then exhibits its true inwardness by bints that the Democratic party is dropping to pieces. For its purpose it qnotee the mere pet<7 differences whioh are readily dosed when there is any oooasion for onion. To-day the party is stronger than at any time in its history. All ita ele ments ate more firmly united than even in the days of its highest triumphs. Never were ita prospects brighter for re gaining possession of the Government. It has the House and almost tbe Senate— virtually under control—and tbe Bepubli cat: President has been compelled to adopt its policy as tbe only national one. The wisdom of following this course is ex emplified daily, and never more strongly than the past two weeks. Had Packard and Chamberlain been sustained by Gov ernment troops as during the rale of Grant, the people of South Carolina and Louisiana would have united in the late strike for the simple purpose of driving tbe usurper from pow er. Thus we would have bad strife in tbe South, where now all is peace and order. Of oonrse bad conditions been altered, the troops, as now, would have been sent off to quell the rioter* in the Northern States, snd the people, ss strikers, would have foroed the Radicals from tbe place* whioh they held for a time by fraud and bayonets, and the whole trouble would be repeated. Mr. Hayes, however, deemed it wise and prudent, as he was compelled to aooept the inevitable, to pursue the line marked ont by National Democracy, and qniet reigns over the land, and troops can well be spared to crush the Northern rebellion. Does all this show that Dem ocracy is weakening '< Are they not in dubitable proofs that the organization is growing and its principles impressed more durably in the minds and sffeotions of tbe people? THE MEW MIMIUTEE TO BRAZIL- Hon. Henry W. Hilliard was born in Cumberland county, North Carolina, in 1808. He was admitted to the bar at Ath ens, Ga.,in 1829. Io July,1880 Mr. Lamar retired from tho Columbus Enqtiibzb, having sold his interest to Mr. James Van Ness, and in November Mr. Marks sold his interest to Messrs. Henry W. Hilliard and James N. Betbune. He retired from tho editorial management in February of 1831, and for tbe next three years hold a professorship in the University of Ala bama ot Tuscaloosa. Subsequently a* Montgomery be was editor of the Ala bama Journal. In 1838 he was eleoted to the Alabama Legislature from Mont gomery county, and in 1840 was a dele gate to tbe Whig National Convention, and earnestly advooated the nomination' of Mr. Clay. The next year he was candidate for Congress, and was defeated under the “general ticket’ 1 system, though he oarried his own distriot. In 1842 he was sent ss charge d'affaires to Belgium, where he remained two years. In 1846 he was eleoted to Congress, and served for three successive terms, at the end of the third declining a re-election. He was a warm snpporter of the Compromise measures of 1860. He was a oeudidate on the Fill more electoral tioket of 186(1, and on the Bell and Everett tioket of I860. He op posed secession, but went with his State after secession was a faot aooompliabed, and was appointed n Commissioner to Tennessee from Alabama. For awhile, in the early period of the war he commanded as Colonel, Hilliard’s Ligion, serving in East Tennessee, most of the troops being from Alabama. In 1802 he removed from Montgomery to Augusta and resided there until 1878, when he tooated in Atlanta, and came here in 1876, where he has sinoe made hia home. In 1868 he ran for Congress in tbe Augusta District, and was defeated by the Republican nominee. He supported the Greeley movement in 1872. He was defeated for Congress last year by tbe regular Democratic nominee in this Dis triet, he running as an Independent Dein oorat. Ool. Hilliard, sinoe early life, has been a minister of the Mothodist Episco pal Church, Booth, and has often preaohed in the Columbus oburohe*. He has been married twioe—to Miss Bedell, sister of Dr. Bedell, of Harris oounty, and then to Mrs. Mays, of Montgomery. Ho was an old time Whig, but sinoe the revolution has acted with the Democrats. Col II. has also figured in literature, having published a volume ot speeches, in I860, and later, a political novel. He has ever ranked high aa an aooonv plished soholar, a debater and among the leaders of bis party. In manner he is oonrteoua and polished. The opening of bis memorial address on the anniversary of decorating Confederate grave* last year, we have often thought, represented fairly his politioal opinion : “Standing here to-day, I represent tbe South, but feel, too, that I am an American.” Tho entire community, will unite in congratulating him on having obtained the appointment. SOUTHERN MAMCrACTUREB. The following letter, written by stead ing citizen snd who loves tbe South and delights in her prosperity, and is doing all he oen to promote it, only reached os yesterday. It was not intended for pub lication, but the sentiments are so just and foroibly expressed we give it publici ty, omitting names and dates. We want to rouse our Southern people to the im portance of showing the capitalists of New snd Old England that the proximity to the cotton field furnishes the very best opportunities for turning the raw staple into goods of every variety, BDd that eventually the South will drive off every competitor, and that her oapacity of pro duction is unlimited. We love our sec tion better then our oonntry. It may be disloyal but it is true. We mean to prove things from actual figures, not assert premises and oonolusions as Mr. Atkinson has done: July 30th, 1877. Editor Enquirer-Bun i It is with muoh pleasure that I see you have takenuj>, with* view of prosecuting it further, the subject of manufactures at the South. I have long been of opinion that tbe ootton States oan manufacture cotton goods muob oheaper than those of tbe North. Recent events have caused me to look into the matter more closely, resulting in the positive oertainty that the more the subject is investigated, the more thorough must be tbe oonviotion of this faot to unprejudiced minds. Nothing bat deep-rooted prejudice, coupled with narrow-minded selfishness has hitherto kept Northern oapltal from being largely invested in Southern mills. This state of benightedness, ss it was felt by far sseing men, must have a limit, and happily tbe eyes of tbe people are now being opened to the true condition of thingB; and if those who are already en gaged in the manufacturing business at tbe North still persist in ignoring the marked advantages we possess in point of cheapness, to say nothing of other facilities, such as olimate, being able to work all the year round, etc., others not now en gaged in that business will not be slow in discerning this great field for safe invest ment, this road to wealth, and will un doubtedly avail of it. Even Englishmen ate, sinoe the new “regime,” beginning to look hitherward. And already we can see the dawning of a new era of enterprise and prosperity for the Sontb destined to culminate in a magnificent future. Keep placing stern faots before the world, and the desired result is sure to follow. Yours truly, . UEORU1A MEWS. Thi Distubbanok Ovzb.—Tbe railroad troubles are, so far over, that the War Department has ceased to receive dis patches regarding them. Hartranft ia still roaming around in Philadelphia hunting for hia “meelish,” whioh are keeping out of the way of the rioters. Order prevails everywhere, exoept in Ohio, where they also have a Republican Governor. Tho Demooratio Governors have long since restored peace and har mony. Emotion or Judoxs.—The Convention yesterday decided to elect Judges both of the Supreme and Superior Courts by the Legislature, the first election to take place iu 1880. Thia settles a question about which there was a great variety of opinion, and in a way whioh is aooepta- ble to the people. Life-aixe Portraits in Oil on Canvass by an eminent German Artist, at the Unrest prices, at Williams' Gallkbx. pod&wtf A bxoxnt history of American uniforms brings to light tbe faot that tho gray ot the Southern Confederacy was the regula tion dress of the Amerioan armies which fought at Chippewa and Niagara in 1812, snd was adopted at West Point in com memoration of those victories. It is still quite extensively worn by Northern regi ment*, and is the prevailing color in all military aoboola, snd for economy and quietness ia doubtless preferable to the bine. ADVAMTAURB OF THE BOOTH IN THE OLDEN TIHES. We oontend that not only now but for merly Southern mills made money while those of the North were barely subsisting or starving. We think we have demon- atrated the faot already from aotuaf re- aults, but we mean to show it beyond the shadow of a possible doubt, and we in tend also to prove to an absolute oertainty that Mr, Atkinson, of New England, in his articles in the New York Herald de crying Southern manufacture, did not know what he was talking about, that his premises were wrong—the mere theoreti cal speculation of a prejudiced calculator, who assumed conditions to suit himself, which are wholly at variance with estab lished faots, and henoe his whole con clusion ia falsely drawn, and is a whole sale fabrication. This advantage in ootton manufacture in the South has existed for years. To show this we quota tbe following extract from the Bavannah Republican ot Octo ber, 1848, whioh is pertinent to the point as demonstrating what was done thirty years ago, and which can better be re peated to-day. We thank a friend for the extraot, which reads as follows: OKOBOIA KANTTTAGTUBZB. The Bavannah Republican says, “We are gratified to learn that the United States Government has made a contract with the Milledgeville faotory for delivery of 800,000 yards of ootton osnaburgs. Thia oontraot was made after a compari son by a government agent in New York of the Milledgeville with other like fabrios from other manafaotories. “This is not only a high compliment to the work done in Milledgeville, but af fords unquestionable proof of the remark so frequently made that for obvious reas ons manufacturing in ootton oan be done oheaper in Georgia than in the Northern States.” A NONDESCRIPT ANIMAL. Hr. Editor: What do you mean ? Are you just now suffering from mental ab erration ? Generally you are lovel-headed, or supposed to be, but this warm weather seems to have made you “orotchetty. ” Just ooosideryour own writing in Wednes day’s paper in an article on the death of Warren, the author of “Ten Thousand a Year “Oily Gammon will be recognized wherever rascally latrysrs are known.” There now—tint do settle if. “Rascally lawyers 1" Did you ever see a white black bird ? Why then speak of rascally law yers ? The very purpose and objeot of the profession is to advanoe justice, and oan you or any one else suppose that we would do otherwise ? It is a maxim, you know, that law abhors a multiplicity ot suits. Now law does, but, my dear sir, as is well know, lawyers do not. Why? Beoause we never have olienta who are in the wrong—they are simply unfortunate—and we want always on hand a good supply of justice toadvanoe. Whenever aman haB no law in the courts he gets no jnstioe, when, on tbe oontrary he stands as terribly on hia legal rights as the army “swore in Flan ders," he does a good deed. He is sim ply in the oategory of the patients with whom Dr. Sangrado’s treatment worked well when the plague was io Valladolid. You know every man was to drink five gallons ot warm water a day, and be bled until he fainted. If be died he didn't drink enough water nor lose enough blood. If he managed to live through it medioxl theory was sustained on that lino, and he more fortunate than others. This is the "true inwardness" of the whole matter.
