Ha baa owned the largaat bard of ahort- bora oattle in the Waat. taa praaent Hat of delinquent tax-pay- era in New Orleans is the amallest by one- third In many years. Niobolla ia a a no oses in spite of bard times. •«. — It ia estimated that Louisiana this year will make about 400,000 bales cotton, 200,000 hogsheads anger, 800,000 barrels mol sum and 180,000 pounds rice. Thb organ-grinders are talking abont striking. If they do fifty thousand mus kets will leap from their gun-racks. That is one thing the public will not stand. Pom,* Mabtin, aged 118 years, died near Ghlokamanga, Aug. 1, 1877. She bad a vivid reoolleotion of things that occurred during the revolutionary war. Ho IT. seems that Maine Itepnblioans will pass no resolutions condemning Mr. Hayes. Blaine is down, and his friends are blue, and the Hayes men are bead up in Maine. Pattbbson, of Bouth Carolina, denies that he baa engaged Hamburg Butler and M. O. Geary to defend him in the suit to be brongt against him for alleged bribery in procuring his election to the Honate. Tna minister of Turkey, Ariataroh Bey, ia wrongly oalled a Turk. He ia a Chris tian and a Greek, of one of the old Fan- ariote Greek families, long in the ser. vice of the Porte u dragomen, bureau offloera, and ministers to* foreign coun tries. Tnmut are many in Virginia who argue that the Foderal Government Is reaponsi ble for the Btate debt of $42,000,000, becauso the Govermeni aforesaid caused the formation of West Virginia, and thus orlppled tbo resources of the original Common wealth. A Minbisota Judge ia having a rather unpleasant oareer. They call him the Minnesota Jeffreys,"a “vindictive, pestif. erous creature," a “despot and a bully,” ■ “terror," a “cold-hearted devil,”a “base, insolent tyrant," a “man that onght to be impeaohed and ridden out of town on a rail.” WHAT DOSS H* MANt Simon Wolf at the cloaiogof the Wash ington Shntsenfest made a strange which Appears to have been di et those high in authority. He expresses himself veiy clearly ot the opinion that some of the “high flyers” have been flirting too lively with the girls, and intimates very plainly that if such a thing is attempted again, and the “ Feat ” mads the plaoe for such license, thoir names and oondnot will be given to the publio. Messrs. Hayes, Key rnd Schnrz attended the entertainment. Mr. Hayes even left behind his temperance principles, for it is recorded be took two glasses of wine and a seltzer. - Did these have the effect to create a degree of jolli ty and lightness incompatible with the dignity of a Chief Magistrate defactoT Did he, too, -trip the “light fantastio” and find it pleasant flirting with the girls ? Mrs. Hayes was not there, bnt she sent a bouquet. Did Mr. Hayes, In her absenoe, disport him self unseemly 7 We all know that lager will never affect the speotaoles of Mr. Bchurz, though he might not be averse to ooqnetting with the fair sex, and have one of the good old days. It is said he knows how. Now, did Mr. Key, forgetful of the good dame and the eight small Tennes seeans of the household, let bis youthful fancies run riot ? Tbwse questions should be answered. It is a matter for the law officer of the nation to investigate. Who did Wolf moan ? It is a matter of consul tation. Erarta should direet bis powerful mind and long-winded sentences to the consideration. The conntty will go to everlasting “demnition bow-wows,” as Dickens’ Matalinl would say, unless this oonundrnm is solvod and that quickly. Wolf is a government offloei and Mr. Hayes retained him in place, and he should not, by innuendoes, tell things out of school. Onriosity can’t stand it. Who were the high pooplo who arc threatened with publication? The statement is heart ronding. The oountry mourns; satisfac tion is demanded. Tbo honor of the na tion is impugned. Let it not be a false ory of Wolf. Let us have the names of the “naughty, naughty men.” Did any one movo Wolf to joalouBy, and thereby foroe him to asyert, for the nonoe, his kingly prerogative? The country awaits in breathless expectancy. MILITARY TORY NOT AHA INST FAC- OFF RATI VKS, Tax King of Bavaria one day met a sol dier with a wooden leg, and asked him when he lost it. “In the war of 18C6,” replied the warrior, gruffly. “Don’t you know me ?” asked the King, somewhat piqued at the soldier’s manner. “No; how should I ?” was the reply; “you don’t go to the wars, and I don’t go to the opera." His Majesty, as you know, is Wagner's principle royal patron. The Administration is laboring heart and soul with the Hadioal party in its oantralizatiou schemes.' We are inform ed that “the Cabinet baa under consider ation a recommendation to Congress to compromise strikes, and to meddle gen erally between the employers and the employed." As tbo lower House of Con gress is Democratic, we may feel very wall satisfied that no suoh unconstitution al moasore will receive any oountenanoe whatever. Italians are unusually exolted about Mount Vesuvius, and strange stories are told of the sounds omitted from its inte rior, which are likened to the roar of a disturbed sea, amid whioh ia distinguished a oraoking as of many bursting logs of wood. These noises are heard, it is said, at a distanoe of two miles from the crater; and fears have been expressed lest a con tinuous discharge of lava should effeot a passage whioh would plaoe the observato ry in danger. Borne thirty persons, ladies inolnded, mako s nightly asoent of the mountain to witness the megnifloent spoo- taole presented. Stanley Mattiikwh, of Ohio, wants Congress to require railroads to submit all their difficulties in future to an irap*r< tial tribunal, “furnished by the United States,' and also to require all quarrels about wages to be submitted to like arbi tration. This, be thinks, will prevent all etrikes hereafter. The idea of submit ting to an arbitration may be good; but Oongreas has nothing in the world to do with it. Aa to preventing inanrreotiona and riots, the boat rernody is tor eaoh Stale to thoroughly organize its militia. That method ia at once offeotive, consti tutions! and safe. Thb comments of tbo proas npon the disgraceful lotion of those firms in New York, Brooklyn and neighboring oiliea which dismissed employee who were com pelled to do servioe in militia regiments during the reoent tronbloa have had the effect of chaining some of them into de- eeney, and they have reinstated the dis charged employee. There still remain firm* whioh appear to be lost to all aanse of deoeney, and “don't want men in their employ who are liable to be oalled oat for military doty.” Suoh firme ere not fit to do basineac and don't deaarve patronage. Tnz New York letter oarrisrs are spe cial aufferen by the late strike*. When absent from their posts on militia duty, substitutes had to be employed in their plaoes, and tho compensation for these substitutes has to be taken from the monthly pay of the men who were absent. The postmaster wsb applied to for aome relief in the oase, but ha soya the law ia explieit, and he oan do nothing about it Wbao a carrier is absent from his for any oanao, a substitute must be em ployed, who has to be paid out of the salvias of the absent employe. In this instance the law fella with peculiar bear jnaaa upon the New York carrion. We utterly refuse to class our manu facturing population among “thieves and vagabonds,” tbo “idlers and tramps” as the Timet by implication docs in a leosl artioic yesterday morning. On tbe con trary it is composed of a superior cIssb of operatives who are a credit to Columbus and would be to any aity. They receive good wages, are numbered among the most orderly and worthy of onr inhabit ants, and appear oontented sod happy. We wrote an editorial enoonraging tbe formation and a renewed interest in mil itary companies tor the reason that any disagreement between ompioyet and em ployed would be hastily taken advantage of, as at Pittsburg, by tbe hundreds of idlers and tramps that iufest our country to burn, riot and perhaps do worse. The Timet purposely or inadvertently perver ted our meaning, whioh we think conld not be misunderstood by the most oareless reader, and intimates that all who advo cate military companies rank tho menu- faotnring population of Columbus with the disorderly element that burned honsee end bridges and oppressed the poor of tbe North. The 7 imet may rank them thus, but we refuse utterly to do so. The Eagle and Phenix operatives have a mill tary company composed of splendid mate rial, worthy of their predecessors of tbe Twelfth Georgia, tbe bravest of the brave. When riots and disorder attempt to rule they will be found shoulder to Bhoalder with the true men of the country and not the “rabble," aB tho Times perforce would have them. HOW TO PREVENT NTBIKEI. This is now the question whieh ia agi tating the Northern mind. There ia a Urge element which needs reconstruction, bnt the raids do not know how to accom plish tbe task. Borne advocate a largo standing army. TbU is preposterous. How oan strikes be prevented by any number of troope, and how can they re press the mob, the result of tbe Ute re volt, from burning and pillage in isoUted districts and those distant from supplies ? Others desire Oongresa to peso a general militia Uw to cover all tbe States, and provide for its rigid enforcement This will not answer. The New York Herald suggests a muoh better method, which is contained in the following: Mr. Vanderbilt has just shown his grat itude to bis man by making them a free gift of one hundred thousand dollars. It *sa wall done, but ws believe be conld have done and oan yet do, at no greater expense, a muoh better thing. Mr. Van derbilt employe twelve thousand men. It U of great importance to him to employ only eapable and faithful men, and to keep these permanently in his servioe; to make them, as be wisely said the other day, “pert of ns." Suppose, now, he shonld prepare and oarry ont a sys tem of life insurance for all bis peo ple ? He can readily and oheaply com mand the special skill needed for this; the contribution of the company to tbe fond would not be onerons; the manage ment of it wonld add a trifling detail to the offloe work, bnt the effeot of it wonld be to bind all bis most thoughtful, bis best men to his servioe. Suppose, in ad dition to this, he shonld plan a pension system, whereby after a fixed number of years of faithful servioe a workman shonld be entitled to a retiring pension, it need cost bis oompany but a trifle, cer tainly far less than an aooident; but it wonld onoe more bind his best men to his servioe. Suppose, again, he shonld encourage his icoplt to form oo-operative societies for he purobase of food and other supplies; should even take the trouble to let the businese be transacted in the boginning by bis own business men; suppose he should look about him and see if he oonld not bny land at wholesale at con venient points, and sell it to his picked workmen at oaal, in small lots, on which to bnild pleasant homes; suppose he should see that trainmen got their meals at eoat white on the line—not one, nor all, of these under takings wonld ooat him mneh either in money or trooble; bnt by their means he wonld in a very short time create a servioe whioh no trade onion oould disturb. He would become really a captain of industry, and his people, re ceiving constantly what to a workman Is muoh better than wages—namely, good will, bnmaqe cere for thoir interests, the benefits of bis ability and oommand of brains, reflected npon their own lives, wonld besr without grumbling the inoon- venienoer of a period of bard times, and wonld defend him and hia property against all the troublesome devices of the trade unions.’’ How Russia Pbotects the Chbistians. —Russia pretended to oommenoe war with Turkey for the protection of the Christiana. For the purpose she has thousands of the wild, barbarous Cob- who an as cruel and relentless as the most feroeions Bashi Bszouk. It is reoorded that in one Turkish village they burned Beventy Mohammedan men,and in another fifty, beside torturing and mnrderiug women and obildren. This is a new mode of de fending Christians—by killing most inhumanly their enemies, and vio lating every principle of religion. These men are worse than savages. It is a spec imen of the enlightenment of a nation that is rnlad by a one-man power, and whose people are oharaoterized by the grossest ignorance. Heaven help the Christians oyer whom Russia assumes pro. teotion. Turkish rale ia preferable. Tur key haa the best guns, and we trust these will counterbalance numbers, and enable her to win in the present oonfliot. HEOBHIA HEWN. holders in tha railroad, saying that they shonld not be allowed to vote upon a THE CONVENTION VEBTERDAY, State aid to railroads was effeotually killed. This is a measure whioh will be generally approvod exoept by sections whioh advooste it for local interests. We have more railroads now than business oan snpport. Tbo olerioal expenses of the Executive offloe bavo been reduoed from $10,000 to $0,000. The'small salary men seem to be in aseendonoy, and they are bringing down everything to “hard pan.” This is a good argnmout for tbe Milledgoville people, for officers oan live thero cheaper than in Atlanta. We are in bopoB that no nntno will be placed in tho Constitu tion aa the Capital, and that tho question will he loft for the people to decide aa separate issue at tbo next regular election It would seem from an interview with an Augusta reporter, which we publish, that ex-Gov. Jenkins does not like the Constitution thus far, bnt men able as he do, and wo believe they will' win before tho people. Uo thinks the Convention too large end nnweildy, and is passing too many laws. Mn. Haves' Coming Message.—A Washington dispatch rays: A good por tion of tbe President's message upon the reassembling of Congress will be devoted to tho consideration of the labor ques tion. It is known that at numerous Cab inet meetings held within the past two weeks this subject has, in several in- eteooee, been disonssed, to the exoltuion of all other matters. Several membors of tho Cabinet are known to favor tbe pas sage ot a law providiug for the organisa tion of a Commission, whieh shall have due regard for the interest of all oon- oerned—producers, merchants, railroad employes and capitalists—so that on any quostion, a fair compromise may be ef fected. A member of the Cabinet, in a reoent conversation, spoke of this plan, and argued that Congress has a right to pass sooh a law under the elause of the Constitution authorising that body to reg ulate oomineroe with foreign nations aud among the several States and with Indian tribes. Such Commission might be vest ed with power to examine into the desir ability of ohartering new railroads, and might require oertain conditions to be fulfilled, eo as to establish a reasonable certainty that projected roads woald have the rnaaiM to pay for its oonatraotion, and thus avoid disaatriow failures. Emma Boll.—This “noble red man,” as the dime novels oall him, has been heard from. Ha is in British territory with a thousand warriors, roady to begin the sttaok on the United States as soon as be has stolen aafliolent gnus and ammu nition. He already by theiving has sc oured a goodly supply. Bitting Bull has oertsinly good oeuse for fighting, «b his ooantry was invaded by the whites and the United Btatee refused io rognrd treaty stipulations. As soon as gold was disoov oral in tha reservations the whites push ed forward to orowd him ont. No wonder he fought for his home, and resisted the pressure. The Indian, however, must be suppressed, aud he will be eventually ornshed out of existence. The truth ia we will have a better world when ho is out of it.

A man named Battle, from Taliaferro aounty, fell out of a window in the hotel in Washington last Monday night and “sustained a double fracture of the lower jaw bone, a fracture of the fore-arm near the wrist and severe oononasion of the brain, and it was feared, severe internal injuries. ” —Telegraph'Mcssenger: The City Council had a meeting last evening and >aesed a resolution authorizing the aign- ng np of $26,000 of the $100 bonds for the redemption of the mutilated currency in circulation and also $10,000 of the $500 bopds to go towards liquidating the floating debt of the oity.
