Tiie scarcity of small coin throughout
the country lias led Superintendent Fox,
of the Philadelphia mint, to ask Assis

to reissue the old five-cent nickel and

as i\lr. Fox thinks they will lie, they will
first, be cleaned by dipping in an acid

Tub nomination of Mr. Black for
governor is received by tiie dem
ocratic press of Pennsylvania, and
by democrats generally through
out the state, with an enthusiasm
that betokens a vigorous campaign, with
excellent prospects of victory in Novem
ber. The preliminary contest seems to
have ieft little hard feeling on the part
of the democrats who supported ex-Sen-
ntor Wallace. All hands are ready to
join in and make a good light.
The theory that the desert of Sahara is
for the most part below the bed of the
ocean has been refuted by recent surveys,
and the fears that have been expressed
lest the flooding of the territory should
change the depths of the harbors of the
world, are shown to he groundless. The
united areas over which the sea would'
flow amount to about 3100 sijuare miles
or livs than half the area of lake < tnlario.
It is very doubtful if (lie project of flood
ing the Sahara is ever carried into effect;
hut it is safe to say that if it, were the
results would prove to he without any
injurious eliect to the climate of southern
Kurope or the seaports of any pari of the

and to the results of this convention Mr.
I!luit|e looks forward with as much inter
est and anxiety as perhaps any other
man in the United States. It is, there

I is another element that will call forth
the best work on both sides. It is the
defection of Neal Dow and his vigorous
leadership of a third party in the inter

Dow—principally Neal Dow. It is as
much for self-aggrandisement and self-
interest that Mr. Dow is prompted us
that which stimulates Mr. Blaine. It

party lie will have done good service to
the country. That this may he the case
is among the probabilities. There is no
longer to be any futile dal

great apostle of total abstinence, and as
whatever following he may secure will
draw more largely from the republican
than the democratic ranks, the demo
crats regard the alleged new party witli
something more than philosophic gratifi

The campaign in Maine promises to lie
quite interesting, and from now on will
grow in proportions until the entire state
will become a boiling, bubbling political
cauldron. The three-cornered contest

blocks are now offered in New

known that much of that /sold lias

upon speculation, and we have every
reason to believe that all of it lias been
bought for the same purpose. We there
fore feel that we can assure the friends of
the Central railroad, including this whole
community, that there lias been no

Cutting having been released has sail- j
denlv lost liis importance and subsided |
into an ordinary citizen of the United !
States. Whether the question of juris- i
diction claimed by Mexico over offenses |
committed here, is settled by negotiation, \
or gives rise to trouble between the two
countries, Cutting ceases to he u subject !
of national concern. II is much to he i
regretted that so unworthy a man has, |
by such dastardly conduct, brought two j
peaceful republics almost to the v< rgc of
war. But the clouds have rolled by at
lost, and Cutting lias again sunk into
insignificance. Having got rid of our
own troubles, wo are now ready
for any that may grow out of the forced
abdication of l’rinee Alexander by w hat
is supposed to have been Russian
diplomacy. i\ ill it lead to war in
Kurope? Clearly this is a much better
casus belli than that of Cutting.
Tile prince was seized in Ids own
palace and forcibly carried beyond his
dominion by a regiment of his own
soldiers, lie was a man of good charac
ter and popular w ith Ids people. Indeed,
it seems as though the thus Russianized
regiments were the only persons who
opposed the prince and desired liis abdi-
tion. But we may not yet have all the
facts and it may be there is in this like
that of Cutting, another side to the ease.
THE (.Ull'AHiX IN MAINE.
This is an “oil' year" in polities, the |
only significance in a national way
being the congressional elections to lie
held in November. For an “otf year”
the gubernatorial campaign in Maine
promises to lie unusually exciting, and
the Hon. Janies G. Blaine proposes to
work it for all lie can make out of it.
On Tuesday, with great flourish of
trumpets, lie formally opened the state
campaign with a speech in Cumberland
county. The republicans can carry the
election in Maine, so far as a contest
between republicans and democrats,
without a single speech from Mr, Blaine,
and lie is fully apprised of this fact, but
he ia prompted by the belief that the
results will have an important bearing
on the national contest in 1888. If it fails
TIIE CENTRAL NOT “NCOOI’EIL”
The great, interest felt by Columbus in
the affairs of the Central railroad, and
especially as affecting the Goodwater ex
tension, has caused us to investigate the
sensational rumors in regard to the
“scoop” of that road by the Burnsville
and Nashville.
The lirst publications appear to have
been made in tiie Birmingham Age and
Montgomery papers of the 22d instant.
These rumors were that the Louisville
and Nashville was about to lease the
Central railroad. On the 24th these re
ports were published in the Courier-
Journal as coming from Birmingham
and Montgomery. Copies of these pa
pers were shown to Mr. A. M. Quarrier,
the comptroller of the Louisville and
Nashville, and he said of the report,
“There is not a word of truth in
it. It is mere newspaper talk.”
Then we find in the Nashville Union of
the 24th a special telegram from Louis
ville mentions that there w as a rumor on
Saturday on Main street that the Louis
ville and Nashville Mas about to buy or
lease the Central, and that the trade
would he closed in a few days. The next
we hear of it was in tiie Constitution of
Wednesday, which we noticed on yester
day, and also in the Augusta Chronicle
of the same day a -special from Atlanta
stating that "there is no doubt the Louis
ville and Nashville will take el large of
the Central railroad and begin to direct
its management by September 1st.”
From the Savannah News we learn
that the report that a syndicate had ob
tained control of the Central was not be
lieved. These rumors were attributed to
certain brokers who started them in or
der to create a boom in the stock. Thus
it will he seen that in Atlanta alone lias
there been found any newspapers giving
credit to the story of the scoop. It looks
to us very much like it was manufactured
there out of the rumors ton ml in other
cities; or, perhaps, it would lie more ue-
eurate to say that the minor of a purchase i
or lease which was about to he consum
mated was there changed into an un- j
doubted fact that a purchase had been
made, the money paid and possession!
about to be delivered.
Strange to say the Constitution of yes
terday persists in referring to “the scoop
by which the Louisville and Nashville
has obtained control of the Central" as
true. It refers to the special
from Louisville, which denied that the
scoop had been made, and in the next
column published a special from Sa
vannah discrediting the rumor, and still
appears to treat it as an accomplished
fact. Indeed, the reporter repents witli
evident approval the views of a railroad
man, who regards the denial by
the ollicors of the Louis
ville and Nashville as proof
that such a scheme was actually being
consummated. We are constrained to
believe that the reporter of the Constitu
tion desires to believe these reports and
does not intend to regard denials from
any source as worthy of consideration.
Whether, like the man who said the
horse was six feet high, lie intends to
stick to liis assertion just because he
made it, or because lie considers the pub
lication of tiie rumor will cause the Con
stitution to he read, whether it is true or
not, we do not know.
As evidence of the absurdity of any
such purchase by tiie Louisville and
Nashville,we ask our readers to remember
that it would take over $3,000,000 to buy a
majority of the stock of the Central,
which would be 38,000 shares. Now, in
the present flnaucial condition of the
Louisville and Nashville, we do not be
lieve it could raise the money even in
Europe. Besides, from the best evidence
we can get, not over 12,000 shares have
changed hands recently, which would
not be one-third as much as would be re •
IT (WILL NOt WORK.
To countenance anything which tends
to a state of social equality between tiie
white and black races in this country is
to encourage amalgamation and mis
cegenation, which is a great crime before
God and against both races. History
touchers that nothing so completely in
herits the curse of God and the contempt
of men as a mongrel race of people.
Only those who are blinded by the most
insane fanaticism, or whose moral vision
pet-takes of most wretched obliquity, can
in the slightest degree endure, much less
encourage, anything tending to such a
condition of things.
Whenever the legislation of the gen-1
eral government is such that its laws
do violence to the laws of God, violate >
the moral instincts and outrage the
cultivated sensibilities of tiie
very people for whom they are |
made, then nothing else can be looked
for, hut that the people when occasion
calls for it will And a way to evade and
set at naught the terms of the statute.

times be forced upon unwilling subjects !
by statutory provision, by the judgments |
of the courts, and by the strong arm of !

The negroes of this section are happily
situated, if simply protected in their per
son and their property. They are left to
win for themselves by their own exer
tions, liy their good behavior and by the
elevating effects of tiie white man’s civili
zation, such social privileges, social rights
and social standing as will he naturally
and properly accorded to them.
The negro is never so well off, so safe,
so happy, so sure of having a strong
friend to stand by him as when he is on
good terms with the whites with whom lie
comes in contact. Tiie only way for him
to keep on terms with the traveling pub
lic and his white employers is for him to
insist. on no other equalities
and social privileges than such
as the intelligent, cultivated and relined
white man freely accords to him, Tiie
white man’s sense of propriety will
always he a lilting guide in such matters,
and nothing else can lie, for their social
associations never can he proper subjects
of legislation.
Whenever a negro gets too good to as
sociate with the people of liis own race
he deserve Iite scorn of liis own people,
and is in nowise entitled to their sym
pathy when begets kicked liy the white
man. These thoughts arc suggested by

iodide of potash in that time, but it aid me no good. Last summer my face, neck, body
and limbs were covered with sores, and I could scarcely use my arms on account of rheu

matism is entirely gone. I weighed 116 pounds when I began the medicine, and I now weigh

Ihuiiuuriitu* Campaign ltook.
The democratic campaign book, prepared under
the auspices of the democratic executive com
mittee, is now in the hands of the printer, and
will soon be ready for distribution. The commit
tee has not resorted to the republican methods of
levying assessments upon olHce-holdcrs for their
campaign expenses, nor has any office-holder in
the United States been requested to contribute a
cent. Such contributions have in no case been
received. The book will contain a spicy review
of the past administration of the government
under republican rule, and will discuss a number
of subjects of contemporaneous importance. It
will contain an exhaustive history of former
abuses of the pension ofllee and of the prostitu
tion to party ends of this bureau, which was or
ganized for the dispensation of the people’s
money to the people’s soldiery.
It will contain a discussion of the squandering
of the public domain by the republican party,and
of the recent movements inaugurated by demo
crats to restore it to the original owners, the peo
ple. It will discuss the civil service as abused
heretofore and as acministered by President
Cleveland. It will contain valuable matter touch
ing the administration of the land office and the
conduct of the Indian affairs. It will be valuable
in the discussion of labor problems, containing a
chapter on that subject and on the recent legisla
tion affecting it. It will discuss past delinquen
cies of responsible officers and agents of the gov
ernment, and indicate the correction of abuses in
that line.
It will contain a summary of the action of the
last congress touching matters of importance to
the people, and make a fair exhibit of the results
accomplished. It will give a history* of the war
on the president by the senate, and the surrender
by that body of the false issue which it had raised
for political ends. In short, the book will be a
fhir and tiutliful presentation of political mat
te rs* The committee is not in possession of funds
to enable it to distribute the book gratuitously.
In order that the volume may be thoroughly dis
tributed the committee has determined to send it
prepaid by mail to any person who will make ap
plication therefor and transmit the sum of SI. To
encourage the distribution eight copies will be
sent for $5.
