LARGEST CITY CIRCULATION!
ANI) MOKE THAN
TWICE THE LARGEST
AGGREGATE CIRCULATION!
Jay Cooke has oomo to tbo surface once
more in tbo oontrol of the First National
Bank of New York City.
Ovbb one hundred people at Anbnrn,
New York, bavo banded together for tbo
purpose of emigrating to Texas.
Senatoh MoBton ought to die happy
now. He is tbo only politician who was
ever kissed by a President of the United
States.
Mn. Stephens thinks “Hayes has done
what Mr. Tilden could not hare done.”
That is trno ; ho has come over to the
Democratic party.
Mils. Kate Chase Spbaoue paid $2,000
a yard for some lace a few years ago,
and now her husband's business paper
sells for 21 cents on the dollar.
A colossal statue of the late Andrew
Johnson is to bo sot up as a monumont to
his memory near his old Tounesseo home.
It is of white marble, and is being carved
in Philadelphia.
It is noted as an evidence of roviving
business that the manufacturing estab
lishments of Providonoo bavo increased
their work within tbo past week to the
extent of employing more than 8,000 ad
ditional operatives.
UENEnAL Fiiemont has been sued by
tho government for throe thousand dol
lars drawn os pay to which he was not
entitled. The government has been a
long timo finding out the little error.
UEOBETAitr Boutin/, has appointed a
committee to make an investigation into
tho oanso of tho Into (ire. Tbo Commis
sioner of Patents thinks about 87,000
models wore burned, oxolnsivo of about
17,000 models on which no patents bavo
been granted.
Lettebs roooivod from members of
Congress disposed to antagonixe Hayes
indicate that all attempts to break him
down in his Houtheru polioy will bo aban
doned. Even Blaine has written confi
dentially that tho polioy is too strong to
be a point of attaok.
hKNATon Bpenokb, of Alabama, propos
es to rovoal tbo soorot of Mr. Hilliard's
appointment to tho Brazilian mission. Ho
is a fellow old Whig and old Virginian
with Dick Thompson, of tho Navy De
partment, and Spencer caught them call
ing each other “ltiohard" and “Henry.’’
Col. Totalmin, whose namo indicates
that ho is tho ontiro army, attacked the
Turks, and afterwards “withdraw his
troopg to a post of observation." A post
of observation is a big treo or anything
that will keep a man from being hit
while ho is on the lookont for safo re
treat.
In tho patent oifioe fire the most valua
ble relios lost wore Eli Whitney's ootton
gin and Hubert Fulton's original model
of a steamboat. Tho original sowing
machine (Howe's) was not destroyed, as
supposod. Borne bystander, knowing its
valuo, soixed it before the fiamos reaohod
it, and was arrested in tho aot of oarrying
it oil .
(Ieneual Anduew J aokson set a pretty
good example of hor. ic political virtue in
1825, when, having been brought forward
for tho Presidency by tho Legislature of
Teunessoe, he aoeepted the oauvasa and
resigned his sent in the United Btntes
Senate “in ordor that ho might be plaood
in no delicate position.” Goneral Jackson
was eleetod President.
The experiment of opening the Phila
delphia Exposition on Sunday has proven
eminently snoooBaful. There have been
58,798 persons admitted on the flvo Sun
days it has boon open, and it is especial
ly worthy of attention that not a oaso of
intoxication or broach of dooormn on
these oocnsions is reported by tho police.
The Patent Oeeiok.—The llrat patent
waB issued to Samuel Hompkins, on July
11, 1790, “for making pot and pearl
ashes." Up to 188(5, 4(5 years, 10,301
patents were issued, nnd to dato over
195,000. The annual number of pntonts
granted is about 14,000. Tho annual re-
oeipta are about $800,000, and expendi
tures $(5(50,000.
At Thiers’ fnnera), “tho United States
were reprosontod by three generations of
their Ministers, Air. Bigelow, Mr. Wash-

“Fab bo it from us to doubt tho word
of a brother editor," says tho La CrosBe
Sun ; “wo boliove thorn all to be trntb-
ful mou ; hut when the Durand Times
says that the water is bo low at tho month
of the Chippowa ltivor that catfish have

PULI. DOWN THE HAHN ANU I.ET
’EM U«.
The ltepnbiican party is dead and
bnried in this State, as well aa the entire
South. There ia not the possibility of a
hope of -its resnrroetion. No fears need
be apprebondod on that score. It ia not
possible for a ltadioal to bo elected in
Georgia. The people, whito and black,
are all one way. Tho only qualifications
which now can enter into onr contests nro
questions of popularity, fitness and how
muoh money tho candidates have to
spend. The necessity for conventions,
primary elections end nominations haB
passed. In onr elections, party is not to
bo considered, for the few Radioals loft
do not oven bold tho balance of power, no
matter how many runners are in the field.
Now we have soneded the temper of this
county, tho probable candidates and their
friends, end are oonvineed the vast ma
jority deeire no conventions nor nomina
tions. They favor a free and open race,in
viting to all. Then those who reoeive the
highest number of ballots will know they
are tho preferences of the people. It is
very desirable that at the next election
this plan should be adopted. It will cause
many to oome forth and work for their
friends, who otherwise would remain at
home. Then each aspirant would have
individuals earnestly seeking to draw to
the polls their own oirole, and thus the
vote would be immense. The Con
stitution majority wonid therefore be
vastly inoreased over whet it would were
tho nomination system in vogue. All are
weary of these humdrum, fixed oonven-
tions. Something stirring and exoiting
is required to put oaoh voter on the alert.
As oertain as a convention, such as we
have bad in the connty, is held and nom
inations made, there will be bolting with,
out end, and the foremost nags will win
the race. No objeotions oan be urged
now to a free for all race. All are mem
bers of tho same grand party.
Tbo Borne should apply to the State
Senator. Obattabooobee has candidates,
so hss Marion, and MuBOogoo her favors
ites. Let all run. Tho people can decide
without tho intervention of executive
oommittees or district conventions. We
wonhl liko it, if we oonld have the stnmp
speaking of formor days, where the ae-
pirants met for diaouasion and to define
their rospeotive positions. Let the rota
tion system talk oosse, and permit every
man to rnn on his own merit. No one
bos a right to office, and paoked oonven.
tions and oloso oauonses should he
abandoned in the prosont trial of popu
larity. Lot ub have one good old fash
ioned raoe, where the first goes in and
devil takes the hindmost. It will bring
wore people to tbo polls, for personal in
terest will he involved. Let oaoh candi
date let his views be known—whether he
is for or against the new Constitution.
This is important.
Wo wish to seo the new Constitntion
adopted by fully as largo a majority os
was given Tilden, and to effect this end
we trast thoro will not be a nomination in
the State. Fail down the bars and give a
fair field to all.
Lots of Coontedfeit Monet.—A Wash-
ington dispatch ssys officials of tbo Treas
ury are very much worked up over tho
immense cironlation which they fear by
this time has been given the counterfeit
fives on the Tamaqna (Pa.) National
Bank. They were put out or “broken,"
as the eonntorfeitors nay, on Friday last
after banking boars, in Pennsyl
vania, New York, lthode Island and the
West, and it is believed that quite
one hundred thousand dollars of this
queer has beeD circulated in the West
alone, and how much has reaohod the
market in tho East it is impossible to as
certain. It is acknowledged by tho Bu
reau of Engraving and Printing that this
counterfeit is almost perfect; much better
in workmanship, in faot, than anything
the burean itself can do. It was done by
a German, whoso whereabouts is un
known, and who is supposed to have
been in oommunioation with only one
person for the past three months. The
regular issues of the bank aro numbered
1219, but the bill issued by the counter
feiters is numbered 295. The counter
feits are not printed on fibro paper, and
there are typographical errors on the
baek, by which thoy may be detected,
such aa the emission of the lost “n” in
'owning," and the nse of the letter “a”
instead of “n” in the last sylable of
“thousand."
Oub Sfnatoeial Distbiot.—It is com
posed of the oonnties of Muscogee, Mari,
on and Chattahoochee. From the Comp
troller’s report we learn that Muscogee
has 1,053 white polls, and 729 blacks—
total 1,782; Chattahoochee, 350 whites
and 458 blaoks—total 81G; Marion, 619
whites and 578 blacks—total 1,197. So
Muscogee, aooording to these tables,
polls 1,782 votes, and tho other two
counties 2,013. It is rare that Muscogee
polls loss than 2,500 votos in au exciting
eleetion.
Tbo taxable valne of Mnsoogee is
$7,282,790 ; of Ohattahooohoo $572,513 ;
Marion $810,032. So Mnsoogee is worth
five timoB as muoh as both combined. It
appears, if the rotation plan is to govern in
ohoosing a Senator, Mnscogoo ought to
rotate several times to oither of tho other
oonnties one.
Let this unfair rotation oonse. While
we are endeavoring to get baok to tho
Constitution and Halls of onr Fathers,
let us get baek to their old and honost
mode of elections—tho host man for the
plaoe, who oan get it.
Clahence W. Goueusall, a Wall street
broker, was shot in New York Monday, at
the homo of one Koehrner. Gomersall
had been admitted to the bouse by Mrs.
Koehrner for alleged illiot purposes. He
was heard by tho husband, who Beized a
shot gun loaded with slugs and shot Gom
ersall in the head. Koehrner says he
thought Gomersall was a burglar. Gom
ersall was takon to the polioe station,
where he died at six o'clock, not regain
ing consciousness. Mr. and Mrs. Koehr
ner were arrested and a jury summoned
by Coroner V reeland, who viewed the
body. Gomersall was the sou of a well
known resident, and the affair creates
muoh excitement in Newark. Gomersall
was a married iuao and leaves a widow
and two children.
LABOR AND A BASIES UIAROER.
The Mastor of the State Grange of
Mississippi has gone into the “labor qnes-
tion” in this style: “Laboring men are
beginning to inquire why it ia that for a
whole day's work thoir pay is from forty
to seventy-five oents? and at night the
doctor, for two or throe miles’ travel, and
a stay of half an hoar, will make him pay
five dollars? the lawyer, for two or three
hours consulting law authorities, and a
abort speooh at the bar, oan awoap away a
wholo year’s wages? the merchant, if he
bo a successful financier, and draws the
ouatom of trade, will soon grow rich ?"
Why then dooa he not advise the labor
ers to booomo dootors, lawyers and mors
ohants. If the laborer oan do it he must
be tho perfection of idiotoy if he does
not lonvo that forty-five to seventy five
oentB position, to make a fortune in a few
days or years. Why does not this Grange
Mastor himsolf write some grand poem,
some history,or do some grand aotion that
will win immortality,and putdnoats in hiB
purse i Why does he not also mention
that there is enormous wealth in the
ground, if it he oultivatod aright? The
Grangers must have had equal advanta
ges with othora. Whose fault is it that
they havo not prospered as well ?
In the West thoy have had oontrol
of several legislatures, the Supremo Court
have dooided in their favor, oml railroads
woro foroed to reduoo loosl to through
rates, but wo do not soe that the States
havo prospered by it. Hove they not by
this action reduced the earnings of the
roads, and foroed loss salaries to be paid
laborers ? They have lost the power they
won, and so will any organization that
endeavors to uphold class legislation—
who mainlain that oertain professions
mnst be specially legislated for.
Agrionlture is the very basis of the
wealth aud prosperity of a country like
onrs, but when that department of indus
try alone is to be proteoted by legislation
and given superior advantages over all
others, the rulers who do so are sure to
fall. Ours is a vast land with varied in
terests, and all equally require fostering
oare. As a rule, the loss legislation we
havo tho hotter for the oountry, and when
a class law is to bo onaoted the framer
should think of the motto, “Pnt yourself
iu his place.”
Cur Granger forgets that muoh time
and money aro required to possess culti
vated brains, and when the original arti-
clo is improved and polished it becomes
far more valuable than when in tho rough.
Gbant Aoain Talks.—Wepulish a long
interview with him. He intends remain
ing abroad a year or two more to avoid
politicaractiou in thiB country. He gives
bis opinions strongly. He oalla Soburz a
humbug, aud thinks aivil service reform
an impossibility. He approves Hayes’
Democratic Sontbern polioy, though he
hates Deinocraoy, aud prediots a Republi
can triumph because of Deiuooratio stu
pidity. He gives Sumner and Motley a
hard thrust. He can safely do that now,
beoanae both are dead. They are no
friends of oars, however, and he oan
abnse them to heart's oontent, if he de
sires. Mr. Grant ia watching the ehauoes
aud looking ont for an election to tbo
Presidency in 1880. He will not get it.
He is determined, however, not to be for
gotten.
Philadelphia Times: That very large
number of newspapers that havo boon
making it hot for Govornor Stone, of
Mississippi, beoanae he didn’t take the
law into his own hands and panish tho
Kemper oonnty outlaws, will, of oonrse,
be delighted to learn that the law has got
its grip on the lawless at last. The grand
jury has returned no less than thirty-one
indiotments against the parties concerned
in the Chisolm and other assassinations.
Six of the indiotments are for murder,
and twenty-five aa aooessory thereto. It
is stated that so far as the offioers of the
law are ooneerned there ia a determina
tion that justice shall have its duo course.
It is not very reasonable to suppose that
a community in Mississippi oan afford
to tolerate murder any more than a com
munity in Pennsylvania oan. Bnt if
Mississippi is going to proseonte her oat-
laws what will be left us to, growl about
—we positively must have something.
William Pitt Kellogg turned up in
New York the other day, aud, upon being
subjected to an intorviow, stated that al
though he believed bis ohanoes for getting
his seat in the Senate were unusually'
good, it was immaterial to him whether
he woold be seated or not. He seemed
donbtful whether he would go into poli
tics again if defeated in the Senate, and
rnado the assertion that he “was morally
oertain that our party elected at loast
three ont of tho eight Presidential elec
tors.” Last winter Kellogg was “morally
oertain" his party had elected the eight
eleotors of Louisiana.
THE IjAST or THO TRIP.
HOW THE PRESIDENT WAS BECEIVLD IN
VIRGINIA—OENEBAL EABLT EOT TET BE-
CONSTROGTED— A BEDEL TELL.
Special Dispatch to Journal of Ootnmeroe,]
Washington, September 26.—A gentle
man now in this city, and who accom
panied the President on bia trip from
Cincinnati until be readied home last
night, gives one or two interesting inci
dents of the trip, whioh the prase agents
failed to telegraph.
While at Charlottesville the President
made a visit to Montioello, the tomb of
Jrfferaon, when he retained to hie hotel.
A friend said that he waa glad the Presi
dent of the United States had made a
visit to the grave of tho father of Democ
racy, particularlp so because he (the
President) was the last notable convert to
that faith.
At Orange Courthouse, Vs., when the
Presidential train was moving off some
one proposed three cheers for the Pneeii
dent. “No!” aside leader, “by way of
e change let’s give him the rebel yell.”
It was ottered with e will. I was the
first time it had been heard dnringthe
trip, end it is said pleased the President
mueb, as it waa given with entire good
faith.
Special to the Philadelphia Times.]
Washington, September 25.
At Lynohburg some of the newspaper
men oalled on Jnbal Early, who express
ed himself very freely aa to the Preai
dent. Of the President’s Southern Poll'
oy, Early said that when Hayee oame into
possession of the President’s office he
found himself possessed of a tainted title,
and made a virtue of neoessity when he
removed the troops from tha South
“Show me a plaoe,” said Early, “where
Hayes has condemned the plaoing of
troops in the South and I will go aud
shake hands with him gladly.” Early ex
pressed himself willing to oall on Hayes,
but said facetiously that Hayes owed him
a call, aooording to all etiquette, for
Hayes promised to oall on him at one
timo and he (Early) bad gone to great ex
pense to receive him, and had even
called ont two brigades for the
purpose, but for some reason Hayes
changed his mind and didn't oome. The
allusion, of course, was to s war episode.
Of the trip South Early said that, in biB
judgment, it was s very shrewd thing on
Mr. Hayes' part. “He, Hayes, knew very
well that a large faction of hia party were
anxious to destroy him.” He knew that
thoro wore two men in his party, Blaine
nnd Conkling, who were anxious to take
his plaoe; be knew that Congress was
about to meet; he had made many friends
South; he had hobnobbed with Gordon,
with Colqnitt and Ben Hill, and Wodo
Hampton had been his fugleman. The
Southern people felt very grateful to him,
and if hiB party in Congress attempted to
rebel he oonld say: “Go on, gentlemen
I have a strong backing at the Sonth
For every disBffeoted ltepnblioan vote '
have two Southern Demooratio votes. ”
On his trip home Hayes way made
fully acquainted with Early’B opinion.
He was anxions to learn all be said. In
commenting on it he said : “Early is one
of the implaaables. He wilt come round
in timo.” Of Early's opinion of the ob
ject of the -Southern trip Hayes said
“Well, the trip was not undertaken for
that purpose, bat (with a significant shrug
of his shoulders) if it aooomplishes that
purpose, well aud good.” At Orange
Court house the President spent some
time in the National Cemetery. On the
way home his attention was ceiled to the
dilapidated oondition of Montioello,
whereupon Mr. Hayes remarked, “Yes,
thought of it when notioing tbs fine con
ditiou, of the National Cemetery.
Then, sf ter e thought!ul pause, he added
“it is all right, of oourse, to honor the
privaten, they deserve all honor; bnt it
seems to me even more important that
the oountry should honor the memories
of the men who have honored the coun
try. The oondition of the tombs of
Taylor, of Harrison and of Jefferson is a
national disgraoe." Speaking of Jeffer
son, the President said that in his judg
ment Jefferson understood the spirit of
onr institutions, understood the republi
can form of government better than any
man who had preoeded or has oome after
him, whereat a Demoerat in the party
observed that he was glad to bear this
opinion of the first Democrat expressed
by the last convert. With the entire trip
the President expresses himself muoh
pleased. His weloome, he says, has been
oordial and hearty everywhere.

CLA11EB THAT IIAVEB HAB ACCOMPLISHED
MORE THAN TILDEN COULD HAVE DONE.
Special to the New Orleans PJcayuno.j
Wakhington, Sept. 26.—In an inter-
view to-day, Hon. A. U. Stephena bonni
ly indorses the President’s Sontbern or
constitutional policy, aa ho prefers to
term it, and saya that through this polioy
rapid strides iu the work of pacification
are being made and in the wiping ont of
the bittor fooling ongondored by the war.
Mr. Stephens thinks President Ilnyes
has done a great deal more for tbo recon
ciliation of the whole oountry than Mr.
Tilden oonld have accomplished had ho
been inaugurated.
He also favors the seleotion of Mr. Ran
dall for Speaker, and deoms bis oourse
during the last hours of tbe Forty-fourth
Congress worthy of the thanks and grati
tude of the whole country.
He also saya that tbe appointment of a
representative Southern man to the va-
oanoy on the Supreme Benoh, would fur
ther tend to complete the work of recon
ciliation, and considers ex Gov. Horschel
V. Johnson, of Georgia, as pre-eminently
fitted for the position, while his appoint
ment would give universal satisfaction
throughout the Southern States nnd be
indorsed by the Northern pemooraey.
Mr. Stephens favors the Texas Pacific
Road, and deems it the route to tbe Pa-
oifie which would benefit not only tho
South, but tbe whole oountry.
Mr. Stephens will visit New Y'ork for
several days, returning in time to attend
the opening of Oongress, and expeots hiB
