It has nominated candidates for Governor and State officers in Ohio, and carried the day in the late election in Louisville. Butter ia its champion and will be the leader in the United Slates House of Representatives. Blaine is of the opinion that tbs labor question will draw the attention of Congress from the Southern policy of the Administration. It is hinted that he will, if it devalopes any importance, combat for the new organiza tion in the Senate. Thus we have the alignment offioered by men who have not the confidence of any portion of the eountry, and the movement does not promise to be formidable. The folly of talking about the oonfliet between labor and capital has been often enough deprecated, but, either from a lack of sense or a spirit of demagoguery, there are always plenty of people who oontinne to harp on theold story. We agree with the St. Louis Republican that there ia nothing more absolutely false, however, than the assumption that there it a con flict between labor and capital. The thing is impossible, either in the most primi tive or- the most advanoed society. The number of people in the world who are not capitalists is ridleoloualy small—for un til a man becomes so poor that he haa noth ing whioh any other human being oan envy him the possession of, he is a capi talist ; ao that the troubles whioh are com monly oalled conflicts between oapilal and labor are in reality oonfliets between cap italists. It nevsr happens that those who bold the place of the laborers in these conflicts are so bad off, but that the world oontaina others who are still more unfor tunate. The poorest laborer, struggling to hold body and soul together on a scan ty pittance of fifty oents a day, is a capi talist beside the starving, ragged tramp, who cannot even find work at that prioe. Thu naked savage, who owns nothing in the world but a string of beads and bis bow and arrow with which be wins the food of life, is yet a capitalist beside the savage who has neither the beads nor the bow. Hence, when the ul timate laborer who is in no respeot a cap italist ia found, it ia at once discovered that the number is so small that a con flict between the-few laborers and the numberless millions of capitalists, great and little, is an absolute impossibility. Gzoboia Bonds.—Northern papers are again howling about the repudiation of bonds by Georgia. We have long sinoe ceased to oare for the opinion of Northern journals, for their forte is either abuse for the South or giving gratuitous advice, whioh none heed. The price our bonds command in New York is a sufficient answer to all their alum. Geqrgia has never refused to pay a dollar of her just debts, or a cent of that which in any way gave her the shadow of a benefit, but she has declared forever null and void bonds issued by thieves and carpet baggers in violation of all law, and for whioh the State reoeived nothing. Geor gia simply declined to let a gang of plan derers rob her treasury. For the bonds that have been rejected there was not a very healthy, indeod wa could iaaagine no natural cause for death, and suppose one would live there until starvation forced him to emigrate. It ia interesting to note in going North, the change whioh gradually appears not only in nature but in the production of the earth. First the pea eh tree gave place to the apple, than cotton faded ont and tobacco took its piaoe. The familiar gin boose and screw were seen no store, but the square tall tobaeoo house waa seen near every settlement. The pine tree lost its tall and graceful proportions and was seen only in sorubs and thioketa. Oak, hickory and. similar bard wood Ireea compose the forest. We tried to find upon our train some farmer to the "manner born” who could enlighten us aa to what with ns ia the mystery of tobacco culture, but only par tially snooeeded. We opened a conversa tion with a Lynohbnrg man upon the subject and found him to belong to that numerous olaae who don't know anything aooorately, and whan yon ask information upon one subject always tell you about something else. Putting our observation and information together, we managed to find out some few faote, however. Tha tobaoeo seams to oocupy about the same position in Virginia and North Car olina along tha railroad that cotton does with ns. After the crop ia gathered it is hung np on stloks in smoke-houses, and then cured mnoh aa wa in the South used to cure bacon before the art was lost. The smoke-house Is about twenty feet | tha disgrace of having their dwellings searched by polios offloers.” Lewis Bnocaa, who gave $50,000 to tha University of Virginia a year ago and $12,000 to tha Washington and Lee Uni versity, died suddenly at lioeheater, New York, Thursday. This is the first an nouncement of hit name in connection with these benefaotlons. He was also a liberal friend of local obaritiss. Washington special to the Louisville Courier-Journal: A recent Associated Press, dispatoh represents that several members of the Cabinet favor the organ isation of a commission to make compro mises between employes and capitalists, and to examine as lo the desirability of new railroads. On the other hand, I am told by a friend of the President, who talked with him only the other day, that ha ia not in aooord with the oommnnistio plank in tha Ohio Repnblioan platform.

Vmws or SrsAKiB Randall.—In a re cent conversation Hon. Samuel J. Ran dall aald that the fair, undoubted, legal Deaaooratio majority in the Honee on its organisation would be fourteen. He did Rol (kink it would be either expedient or proper for Mr. Adams to put the name of any Democrat on the roll whoee right to be tbere was not unquestioned, nor did be, think that Mr. Adame would put any anob name on the roll. He would advise, and he believed it to be the general sentiment, that in the organization of the Honee the Damocaata should take no unfair advan. tags nor do anything that would necessi tate a defense. Fourteen msjority was amply euffioient for every needful pur- poae, and there was, in foot, no incen tive for the Democrats to aot unfairly toward the Republicans even were they diepoeed to do ao. Mr. Randall said tha 1 aa to aay idea of a defection, however alight, among the House Demoorats, it waa limply preposterous. The msjority would be firmly cohesive, and would be muoh more easly handled than the cum- bersome and nnweiidly majority in the last House. In regard to the prop ositions for an increase of the army, whioh have grown ont of the oeoturreneea of the late strike, Mr. Randall indiaatad bit dissent thereto, and mentioned eome Republican members of the House who would also oppose auy increase of the army. He said an inorease of the army would not go any way toward the settle ment of the very grave oanaae whioh lay at the bottom of tha recent troubles. —Mn. 0.

Washington City, Anguat 12, 1877, If the great Georgia Fair, about whioh we read ao muoh and ete so Utile, should offer a prize for the dustiest railroad in the Stale, we shonld enter the A. & W. P. R B., as a competitor with great oonfi- denoe of anooesa. Not only does that road raiaa tbo dnat in overwhelming quantities, but the quality is flrat olasa, being a firm, riob, red olay. When we reaobed the Capital of the State, we bad no briok in our hat, but if you had dusted us well and washed ns elean, enough olay oonld have been oolleeted to make one. However, it is worth going through alt the dust and olnders on the road jnat to be in Atlanta long enough to take dinner at the Markham Houbs. From the time "Amoa" takes year asrpet-bsg untU you settle your bill with Mr. Hammond, you feel at home. We had the pleasure of sitting near one of onr immediate del egates at dinntr, and aa he went through the bill of fare from soup to watermelon we watohed him anzionaly to see if bit great labors had affeoted hia health. Bat judging from ontward appearance "he ia jnat aa well and hearty aa he ever waa in bis life,” and ia aa handy in taking np as he ia in laying things on the table. We allude, of course, to our friend Col. In gram, the patriarch of onr delegation,and we also beard of the Convention, tboagb we don’t von.‘h for this. He in carrying both hia years and bis honors essily and ia good for three more weeks work at least. We never hsd an opportunity of seeing the oonntry along the line of the A. %nd Air Line rosd before and were not pre pared to And it syoh a wilderness. As yet the hand of man haB scaroeiy made a Borateh npon the face of nature. It is an almost unbroken forest. Nor and then you see a house, and generally a new one, with a small patoh of oleared ground, but no large farms, no old houses or old fields. The oonntry is broken and the moil thin and poor, and in all probability the population will be small for many yearn. It must however be a delightful oonntry in whioh to apead a summer, and we noticed a large orowd both et Gaines ville end Toeooe City. We pasted through late in the evening and daring the night, bat oonld readily discover a freshness in tha atmosphere that moat be refreshing to South Georgia persons. It mi square, tall and built of loga. It la made amoks-tight by daobing it with olay out side, u our people build dirt ohimneys. The entranoe is a small door, fitting close ly, and oomiog down to the ground. A fire ia made on the dirt floor inside of oak wood, and the tobaooo oured by the smoke. It is,"whan oured, paoked iu large hogsheads in rolls and brought to mar ket Id wagons. All of it is sold at auc tion. Eaoh fanner oarries hia tobacco to the warehouse, where it ia pleoed in sepa rate piles and ticketed with his name, and than sold in lota. Tha grades are not separated, ao that, as to always the cine, there is good, bad and indifferent. It sold together aa we sell crop- lets of ootton. The farmers are, however, beginning to discover that this is giviog the buyer too muoh advantsge snd some are sorting their tobaeoo before bringing it to market. Aa we go on, the tobaoeo in its torn disappears and grate and clover are the principal staples. The pasture improves— aheep and oaittle begin to be numerous. Tha land flrat olothed with ootton, then amoking with tobaooo, now flows with milk. At tha oating bouse, beef and mutton grow tender and fat. Vegetables also improve in quality, the tomato espec ially growa in great perfection. At Cnlpepper we took rapper and found there the very fluest tomato we ever ate. Hereafter we shall always associate this prince of vegetables with the other reool lection of this famous piaoe. As wa pasted Gbarlottsville we got e glimps of Moutioello, tbe home of Thomas Jefferson. We never admired Mr. Jefferson, but aa he has left bia influ ence upon tbe country, bis home must be a piaoe of interest. It to situated upon tbe very top of a high hill, a short dis tance from the oity and must have been a delightfnl home. The honee waa built over one hundred yearn ago of materials brought from England. Tbe floors are made of walnnt and oak tiles, and are now as sound and smooth as when first laid down. The immense and splendid mirrors reMhing from floor to oeiling, are still perfect. The place now belongs to a wealthy Hebrew gentleman who resides in New York, one Beron Levy who pur chased it at some kind of tax Bale and holds it as one wonld an old painting. The honae to ont of repair and not habi table, only a housekeeper residing there to show the piaoe to visitors. We had the pleasure to meet with our friend Sam Spenoer, the Superintendent of Transportation of the Virginia Midland Road. It is always gratifying to meet a Columbus man, particularly if he to not one of your dend-beats, but a real live man like Mr. Spenoer. He is an* honor to our oity,and we are prond of him, We arrived here at jnst twenty-five minutes past nine by Oolombns time and jnst five minutes to ten by Washington time; eo one must move up his watch when be gets here jnst twenty-five minutes.

She then notieed that Mr. Clarke seemed to be ill or faint and at ones made him ait down. She spoke to him,but be made only some iaartioulate reply. Alarmed, she called several gen tlemen in the next room, and these at onee oame in and endeavored to aronse him, but in vain. They than carried him ont on the baloony, hoping that the fresh, air wonld revive him. When ont on the baloony they bathed hto face with lie water and gave him some to drink,- bat all in vain.
