Pbkwdbnt Cleveland deserves credit for setting liis fiiee against an old preju dice; he does not object to take his mother-in-law us an important part of liis excursion party. Tiie scarcity of small coin throughout the country lias led Superintendent Fox, of the Philadelphia mint, to ask Assis tant Secretary Fairchild for permission to reissue the old five-cent nickel and omwent bronze pieces now stored in the treasury vaults. If the coins are recoined, as i\lr. Fox thinks they will lie, they will first, be cleaned by dipping in an acid hath. According to the last Israeliiisli An nual, the number of Jews in (lie world at present is hut 6,300,000, of whom 6,t00,000 are in Kuropo. There are 230,- 000 Jews in the United Stutcs. 2,552,000 in Russia, 1,044,000in Austrian Hungary, 000 in < indicia, 1138,000 in Hungary, 502,000 in Germany, and in France, not withstanding all the luss (but M. Drum- ont makes about them in liis “Jew France," only 03,000. 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 world. ] .n^his, it may havuati important hearing | in the national republican convention, 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 fore, not for the interest of the republican , party that lie is|so solicitous in the cam- 1 paign now opened, hut in the inter, st of | tiie lion. James G. Blaine, j It is well understood, and acknowl edged by both political parties, that 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 est of cast-iron prohibition and Neal 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 matters not what may he his motive, if i lie succeeds in defeating the republican 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 liance with the republicans by the 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 cation. 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 will give the republicans their hands full of work, and it is not recorded but what Mr. Blaine may have liis illumes plucked ere the national contest is fairly begun. quired. The boom seems to have “hurst,” however, as the stock could not he sold at par, and large blocks are now offered in New York without being taken. It is known that much of that /sold lias been purchased by brokers iu Savannah 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 scoop, and it is not likely there will he. Captain Raoul and the directors still hold the fort, and the extension to Birinin - ham goes on. -TO- -THE— Stimulate Business! THE COST OK ClTTIMt. 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.

As to political andjsoeial intelligence, TRUTH AND FACTS, One is sadly ignorant who fails to consult that greatest of all newspapers, THE ENQUIRER unlike, would not be thought of or at tempted by any hut wild fanatic or moral monstrosities. 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 tin- incident at Geneva on Wednesday. CAUTION. Cured by 8. 8. 8.

MCLEAN, Publisher and Proprietor. 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.
