AND MOKE THAN TWICE THE LARGEST AGGREGATE CIRCULATION I Gen. B. F. Butlbb, when fighting his battlon o’er ngnin, alwayH allados roHpoot- fally to the Southern soldiers as “Con federates,” and nut as “rebels.” Ben DeBab’s last words were: “Got the house ready to open right away.” Two hours lator ho raised his arm, point ed upwards and died with a smile on his face. Senatob Butler, of South Carolina, don’t want tho thieyos who have boon lately indioted in that State prosocnted, ho says it will make martyrs of them. Thoy havo material enough to supply the country if that is tho kind to make mar tyrs of. Georgia's now Constitution soems to bo in accord with tho views of tho people of othor States. Maine adopted two of the provisions in the instrument as a part of tho organic law of that State. In Oc* fob or Connooticut will pass upon two more: amondmouts forbidding in uni oi pal aid to railways and prohibiting oxtra compensation to ptiblie officers. Davis, tho keopor of tho Connooticut State prison, who plotted for tho roloaso of two oonviots—tho plot onding in a horrible murder—was paid only $30 por month. If ho had not boon put on star vation wagos ho would probably havo boon faithful to hin trust. Good men at good wngos is a safe rnlo for governments ns woll as private conooins. Five Hons and seven daughters of the lato Mr. rud Mrs. .Jonathan IVrker, of Nantnokot, are now living, whoso agon aro rospoctively 78, 70, 78, 70, (18, 05, 03, 5!), 57, 55, 53, 51. Theso twolvo oonsti- tuto all tho children of tho family oxoopt ono, who died W infancy. Tho fathor was, at tho time of his doath, 88, and tho mothor died at tho ago of 77. Of tho" six Goorgia Congressmen who gavo their viows to the Chicago In ter- Ocean on the silvor question, all but Mr. Stophons proforrod to havo their nemos withhold with tho oxcoption of W. E. Smith, of tho Sooond District, who simply signed his name ns favoring silver, with out remark. All favorod «ilvor, but why thoy should desire thoir namos suppressed wo nre nnablo to conceive. M. Gambetta’h onrapaign speooh gets out by tho World through tho round about way of England, nod really does not soom to have boon ro terrible m to demand suppression by MacMahon’s cen sorship. Tho foature of greatest interest which it contains is the roitoratod doolar- tion of Gnmbotta of his confidence in tho Republican triumph in tho olootiona of Ootobor. And whon tho elootions are over ho is also confident thoy will not bo sot aside by a coup d'etat. Tub Houston Telegram has interview ed Mr. Itobt. Kidd, now in that city, who rosidoH at San Folipo, on tho Brazos, Tex as. lie is a native of Amhorst county, Va., and is now in his 104th yoor. llis fathor died at tho age of 104. He has UBod tobacco, says the roporter, sinco his 20th yoar. Never used spoctnoloa and novor weighed ovor 154 pounds. He made 200 bushels of corn and one bale of ootton, without any assistance, in his With year. He was n bncholor till his filth year. The quickest piece of railway con struction on rocord is that of tho Phila delphia nnd Atlantic City Hoad. Tho distanoo is fifty-five miles; tho gaugo throe and n half foot; among the excava tions there is one of 40,000 cubic yards ; among oinbnnkmouta one of 1,800 feet long, using 23,000 cubic yards of earth, which was built in a week; of bridgos and onlverts thoro aro more than 100. Tho whole road was coustiuoted iu sixty-seven days, and in timo for a largo snmmor ex cursion travel. Tho work is highly spokon of as a creditable piece of engineering, and it had tho unusual merit of coming within tho estimated cost. At a mooting of tho Social Science Convention held at Saratoga, Now York, September fi, among othor interesting papers road was ono by Hon. W. L. Tron- holm, of South Carolina, ou “Iho Social and Industrial Condition of tho Southern States.” In tbis paper tho following pas sago occurs, to whioh wo wish particularly to call tho attention of Southern Com grossmon : “The country hanks of the South and West should be emancipated by the repeal of the ten per cent, tax upon circulation and restored to their natural functions. This tax lias deprived the ngrioultuarnl communities of the South of all hauling facilities, for National Bank circulation wns of no ubo to them, lu commercial communities tho Nationnl Banks being tho strongest attract depos its and make thoir money out of thorn. Iu agricultural oommnnities circulation is to a bank what deposits pro iu manufac turing and commoroinl communities.” THE CAPITA!* MSNNATION. Many of tho papers aro full of it. The whole question, in its l«st analysis, is one of money. Atlanta desires to retain tho capital because it continues the fonds that are now there and attraota visitors with greenbacks from our own and other States. Miilodgoville wishes to be again made tho capital beoanso of the “money in it.” Of the two places one is just as accessible as the other by rail. State House officers can live cheaper in Mil- ledgeville than Atlanta, becanso there will bo necessarily less parade. This will suit their future earnings. Milledgevillo has a handsome Capitol, which has been paid for. Atlanta hos one on whioh a consid erable mortgogo rests, and every Legisla ture has talked about examining the walls, or appointed a committee to do so, for fear thoy may fall. The cracks are lovely. The State might be mnloted for another atiaotnre in a short timo that would cost millions. Miilodgoville has a mansion in whioh a $3,000 Governor can live in comfort. Tho $100,000 house in Atlanta won’t allow him to have a decent living for his pay. Atlanta being large, lobbyists can bide out; in Milledgevillo thoy can be quickly detected and branded. Legisla tors would be more apt to attend to their business in Milledgevillo thAn Atlanta, because thoro would bo fower torapta tions, fower opportunities for dissipation, and bettor obanoos of exposure should the carnal mind run in a wicked direction. If we wero of the LogiHaturo, we would, on four dollpis a day, rather be in Mill- odgnvillo than Atlanta. Incroaso tho rate nnd—woll, we might not choose a village. Tho best good of tbo State onn bo promot ed at Miilodgoville, booanse thoro is much in tho gloiious associations of tho past, aud tho momorios of tho groat men who havo impressed nets on the people and ago in whioh they lived. In this world that is not always done whioh is provo cative of tho host interest. There aro tcoraanysido issuos. Both places nre working bard to in- fluonoo public opinion, and there is an abundance of timo in which to decide boforo tho final not© is given. The Con vention by tbo snlniies fixed indicate MillodgoviUo. Blaine and Grant.—Tho Boston Her ald says that Mr. Blaine a short timo ago disclosed his Radical programme to a very prominent por n on in the servioe of the Government. He said that it was a mis- tnko toRupposo that he was looking to the Presidency io 1880. He was looking be yond 1880. Ho hoped to boo Grant re nominated by tho Republicans in 1880, and believes ho would bo beaten. Then, with Grant out of tho way, and an oppo sition President in power, he believes the Republicans would be compelled to take him an a candidate. Ho bolievos that the Republican party is destinod to defeat in 1880, although ho would not say so open* ly. Thus it appears that both Gonkling and Blaine (for different reasons) are in favor of tho ronomination of Grant in 1880. Gonkling bolievos that Grnut could be ro elected, and Blnino sees clearly that ho could not. Gonkliug’s constant puffing of Grant is meant to keop him in view as a Presidential candidate, and tho Grant movement is to-day the most pronounced and best organized political sohomo that is afloat in tho country. Hill and Toombs.—Homo of tho New York papers aro discussing the rumors that Bon Hill is to be rnu for President and Bob Toombs to bo mode Senator. Thoy tnko very kindly to tho first rumor, but grow frantio over tho sooond one Tho Evening Post says that Hill is the londing representative of the best South* orn spirit, oud does not think it impossi bio that ho will ho accepted ab tho nation al representative of tho spirit of conoilia tion. It sayH : “Wo had ranch rather see Hill President than boo Toombs Sen* ator.” The Tribune says : “Toombs is aiming at the SonatorRhip. It is time Georgia should aim a shot gun at Toombs.” Now that tho Northorn Kopublioan journals aro so anxious about tho matter, lot Goorgia oleot Gonornt Toombs Govor nor by acclamation. PHILADELPHIA. THE LARGEST MANUFACTURING CITY IN THE WORLD. ADVANTAGES of individual enterprises ^VEB CORPORATIONS—OOL. TOM SCOTT AND BIB $150,000 SALARY—PHILADEL PHIA LITTLE KNOWN TO SOUTHERNERS— WELL POR THEM TO STOP HEBE—OOLON- ADE HOTEL—VISIT TO A TYPE FOUNDRY —TYPE MAKINO—THE SOUTH KNOWS LIT TLE OP HARD TIMES—THE STRIKES HAVE BENEFITTED EVERY INTEREST. A canal was oponod on the 22d of Au gust ut Keokuk, Iowa, around tho rapids of tho Mississippi. It is oight miles long, and cost tho United Statos $4,000,000. Now, wo havo noticed a good deni of talk iu the Western papers, iu opposition to Government oid to Southern improve ments. But when $4,000,000 aro expend ed iu a canal eight milos long in front of a section of the Mississippi, in the West, of no benefit except to local commerce, thoro appears to bo no particular remon strance made. The levees of the some river iu the riparian Statos South havo beon down for years. The overflowed Statos have asked again and again for some oid toward their rebuilding. Thus far nothing has been done, and the West ern press, excepting St. Louis, has been constant in its opposition to this groat improvement. Yet there are immense sums expended yearly in improvements of not one-tenth the value to tho country and oommorco of the ono wo havo boon I #nrn«»ahin asking for. Whon will this oud ? It will ' ^ Bayard on toe Policy.—A Richmond dispatch says that Senator Bayard, who is in that city, being asked what he thought about Iho polioy of President llayes, said: I thank God for it. He has disposed of the only obstacle that stood hetweon tho Riilt oring South and the full enjoyment of her constitutional liber ties. He haR not only carried out the Democratic policy, but has carried Re publicans with him. I think he has the cordial support of fully 75 por cent, of his party. Many, who wore doubtful at first, now holiovo the timeH aro ripe for evory Honthorn Slato to govern itsolf un der tho Constitution. The histoiy of tho Statos sinco tho troops wore removed is ono of the best arguments why Republi cans and Democrats should approve of Hayes' policy on this subject. TnE best represented family in tho Brit ish legislature is that of tho Dukoof Aber- corn, whioh contributes four members to it. Tho Duke has throe sons in the llouso of Commons. Tho oldost sits for Done gal, a sent whioh ho owes to territorial in fluence, his father being a great Irish proprietor; but tho youngor brothors owe their seats largely to their merits, ono of them having won Middlesex against the notorious Mr. Henry Lnbonohere, tho other representing King’s Lynn,for which the present Lord Dorby was for yoars M. P. The Duke of Aboroorn’s family is, perhaps, altogether, although he is any thing but woalthy, the most socially brilliant of its time iu England. He has boon twice Viceroy in Ireland, with un surpassed popularity and success, nnd is conspicuous for his tact, tine person, and bearing. His wife is universally ad mired aud respected. Of his seven daugh ters, famous for thoir beauty, six have married peers, aud his sons are popular and distinguished. Senator Spemckb, of Alabama, sends np a howl from the Black Hills.

I AdmiuiBtr»tion iu a painfully close Son [AVw Orlentm Time*. I ate. Philadelphia, Pa., Sopt. 7, 1877. Philadelphia is no village. She has a population of 074,022, according to the csdboh of 1870, and eovera 129 square miles. Tho city is undoubtedly one of the boat planned in the United States. It is said to contain many thousand more honaos than Now York, althongh 300,000 less population aoeording to the oenana of 1870, and it also claims to be the largest mannfaoturing city in tbe world, Man oheater, England, ranking second. We find one pooularity about tbis plaoe, differing materially from New York, Poston or other large American oities. There are bnt few corporations. Nearly all the large and amall manufacturing in torcsts are owned and controlled by indi~ vidnala or oompanios witbont obartered privileges, therefore there is mneh indi vidnal wealth. Tbe boanty and bene fit of snch oontrol illustrates itself by largo individual aooretions wbicb multiply end increose. While mnob of a corporation is wasted in largo salaries and the industry docs not advanoe, this indi vidual ownorsbip and management bnilds np and extends an ontorprise, whon if a corporation the profits would be senttered hy dividends nnd expenses. Toko, for example, some of tho largest iron works and ootton*mills located bore. Nearly all had small beginnings, and have been added to until they are now immense es' tabiishmonts, and are romnnerative to the owners. Col. Tom Hcott, tbe ltailroad King, is reported to receive ns salaries from the various enterprises ho manages, $130,000 per annum. The soore of Vioo Presidents, Ito., in bis train reeoive immense snmi as salaries. If Iheso undertakings were in dividnal affairs, theso salaries would go to inoreOHing tbe value end wealth of the enterprise. 13nt, ns it is, most of these salatios ere given to favorites and frittered away in riotous living. Philadelphia is bnt little known in tbe Hontb, her principal tiado being with tb West. Our merohants pass throngh and buy thoir supplies in Now York aDd Pos ton. Much of this is duo to Philadelphia’ own negligenoe. She has never sought tbe Southern trade, and now when it is tbo best end most profitable, she sadly feels the need of it. Now wo frequently Btop over n few days iu this place, and like most Bonthernere, wero iRUoront of her trno greatncsB. Wo aro stopping at hotel, tbe Golonade, whioh is a first class establishment, yet we have always thought thoro wore only two hotels of merit in the plaoe—the Continental aud Girard Onr stay bore tbis time oonvinoos ns that tho Colonade is not only first class, hut superior to either of thoso mentioned It is on the principal street, in the heart of business, and free from that rough element that bangs around the Conti nental and Girard. We would advise onr merchants not to negleot Philadelphia whon visiting Noithern markets, and we would also advise their becoming the guests of tbe Colonade daring their stay, and onr word for it, they will moet the best of attention end bo provided with good quarters and fare that oannot be excelled by any hotel in tho Union. We yostordny visited tho type foundry of MaeKellar, Smiths A Jordan, and wera surprised to learn bow little we knew abont typo-making. This foundry is tho oldest of its kind in tbo country, having boon established in 179G. The prosed proprietors havo had ohargo since 1833. Typo aro mouldod, bnt not in quantities at one time, aa we BnppoBed. Each type, large or small, is moulded singly. First, there is a woll of molted metal. Tho tnrning of a crank injoots, by n pump, onongh metal from Iho woll into tho mould to make ono typo. Tbo crank oon tinning to tnrn ojeets tho typo from tho mould into a heap beneath. If a large type, tho workman takes up end plaoes on a slat or narrow board in rognlar der; if a small type, other hands assort. The next workman breaks off tbo nipple formed by tbe monld. The typo iB then burnished on large Blahs oovered with emory stone. It tbon goes throngh the bauds of a dozen other workmen until it reaches tho examiner, who, with a strong magnifying glass, scrutinizes oacli type, and rejects every one with the slightest tlnw. To make a single typo wonld, doubt, ooHt nearly $100, some of tho larger or display typo costing oven more, Electrotyping is extonsively dono by tbis establishment. Tbo procass is interesting ono, bnt onr hasty oxamina Lion has not familiarized us sufficiently with tho working to enable us to givo yonr readers a cloar and interesting ac count, so we will not attempt it. While Philadelphia, to the visitor, ap pears happy and prosperous, the people nro complaiuing toiribly of herd times. They say the South has navor felt “real hard times” as compared with the pres ent condition of Philadelphia and othor Northern cities. Hero labor is domorat. izod, and eveiy industry chockol. Capi talists are frightenod nearly out of their wits, foaiing tho uprsing of the poople, and iu tho corttict their hordes of woalth becoming asboa or depreciating into worthlessness. The workings of largo corporations have been to mako tbo poor poorer, nntil they have become desporate by starvation. Wages have been ont down nntil twelve hours hard work will soaroely support a single petson ; yet the riob grow rioher. Tbe late aiuke, wbilo terrible in its Work ng, wo think bes done mnoh to revive the situation. Wages have not only ceased getting less, bat are aetna'ly getting better. The managers of the big corpora tion now admit their fo’ly of oppressing thoir laborers, and Tom Scott eomos to tho front saying that ho was opposed to tbe last redaction bnt bad to submit railroads bave in a great measure stop ped the catting of each other’s throats, and are making an effort to do a legiti mate bnsineas. Everything is on the i. Coal has advanced nearly one dol- a ton in the past six weeks, metals of kinds have materially risen, except iron whioh has only stiffened in prioe. People are hopeful of better times, end they attribute tbe “good time ooming” to tbe strikes that they think obecked the downwardness of everything. Nearly every man we have talked to, sympa thizes with the strikers, saying that they heve been terribly oppressed and were j untitled by their distress in resisting tbe repeated and oontinnons tyranny of their oppressors.

A New and Valuable Fbuit.—From the Bt. Louis Bopnblioan we learn that the Rev. Henry Looms of Sen Franoisoo, Cal., has reeently introduced into this oonotry the“Diospyras Kaki," or Japanese persimmon, which promises to be a groat acquisition to onr oboiee fruits. It is qnite different in its development from sny of the present varieliea and is one of Ihe favorite frnits of Japan end China. It is of a bright yellow orange, or rod dish color; and is considered equal to tbe peaeb or pear. It grows to a Urge size Col. Hollister of Bants Barbara, Csl., says it: “Tbe frnit is tbe most beautiful of all the frnits I have ever seen and is most delioions to tbe taste.” The flavor reminds one of both the plnm and apricot. The sesson is from Ootober to Fobruary or March. When dried it resembles tbo fig or date. There are abont forty variotiea Japan differing in size, shape, color and flavor. Tbe tree is of npright growth and with out regard to the frnit is of great valne for ornament. When set with the bright frnit it is very beantifnl. It ia a prolific bearer, and very hardy. The grafted trees will bear in abont font years from the graft. The wood of tbe blaok persimmon like the common ebony and highly v ned for manufacturing purposes. Grafted treos oan be sent by mail.
