milliona below the estimates of tlie ad
ministration, and over twenty-nine
millions below the amonnl appropriat
ed hy the last congress. In the face of
these immense reductions it will hard
ly do to say that the house has “done
nothing.” Considering the inexperi-
cnce of ita members, and the difficul
ties in the way of retrenchment and
reform, it did remarkably well.
It had to face deadlocks
from the senate and threats from tlie
executive, hut still it succeeded in
saving nearly thirty millions. This is a
solid fact tliat the country will appre
ciate. Bat the work of retrenchment
has just commenced, anil the men to
carry it on are the very men who have
labored with rare patience in the ses
sion that haa just come to an and. A
grateful country should reward them.

Among the more important bills
iseed by the house this session, bat
which go over until next winter ou tlie
senate’s calendar, are the following:
Tlie bounty bill; the steamboat hill;
the hill to re-organize the United
States judiciary; rt-j-ealing the bank
rupt law; for the farther distribution
of the Genera sward; to compel the
Pacific railroad companies to create
sinking funds for the repayment of
their indebtedness to the government;
declaring railroad land grants subject
to state taxation; providing for the pro
tection of the Texan frontier. AJ1 the
foregoing have been reported from
committees favorably; though in some
cases with amendments, except the
Geneva award bill, which is still in the
hands of the judiciary committee, and
the Lawrence sinking fond bill, which
ia on the table awaiting reference to
some committee. The judiciary com
mittee and the railroad committee have,
however, both reported original bills to
provide for the creation of Pacific rail
road sinking funds, tlie former meas
ure being more stringent than the
house bill.
The senate calendar also includes
bills establishing an educational fund
from tlie proceeds of the public lands;
providing for a commission to consider
the bankrupt net, and providing for the
counting of tlie electoral votes. All of
these have been favorably reported by
committees, and all are senate bills.
pending in the house, thpre
should be mentioned tlie Bland silver
bill; tlie |<ost-rosds bill, which provides
for fast mails and restores the franking
privilege; the popular education bill;
several freight railroad bills; and a bill

crimes in federal courts to be compe

Tlie convention wisely decided, we

Wade Hampton, the gallant cavalry
loader and popular ritiaen, means a
spirited and aggressive campaign-a
cainpfltign that Imperatively calls for
the last vote and last ounce of
egitimate influence that conservatism
can muster in the state. The organi
sation of the party should now be
completed and a tin-rough canvass im
mediately begun. The enthusiasm
llist greeted tlie nomination at Colum
bia indicates that the state can be re
deemed; but to do it, the lethargy that
lias prevailed in ionner elections must
lie replaced by activity, founded on
hope. We believe our reader* in the

to do tlieir part, ami ihe low country
elw-uld now wake up to the demands

The greet tender's mantle in the

This is nothing strange; for out of forty
one first lord* of the treasury, who

He waa elected in 1856 to the legisla

wards served as city attorney, and
aa prosecuting attorney of hia county.
In 1862 he was chosen, reporter of the
supreme cotut of Indiana, and edited
with great ability and clearness five
volumes of the reports of that body. In
1854 he was chosen to the thirty-ninth
congress, and- was -re-elected in 1866,
-1868,1870 and 1874. Hia reputation in
congress constantly grew. Being an
impresssve speaker, and at all times
fortified with, facts, he commanded the
attention of the house whenever he
spoke. Ho was ever an honest,
upright consistent democrat,
firm in hia principiea| with
out partisanship;' and when the
democracy gained control of tlie
house, he was the clear choice from the
outset for speaker. He died while
filling the second office in the republic
office that he had, althongh in
failing health, administered with rare
ability and unusual fiairness.
Just before the adjournment, the
boose honored itself by unan

race about to begin. Let him cease to
deprive the state of his great wisdom,
nor longer block tbe destiny that he
evidently thinks should be his. Let

begin; for the people clearly want a

against the democratic party.Tbe Times
prints it as the views of “one of the old
and heretofore influential democrats of
Georgia on his party leaders and the
party management.” It italicizes the
portions relating to onr state officials
and to the position of Mr. Hendricks on
tbe national ticket. The whole letter
presented with attractive heads. To
the Times it isa rare bit of help from
an unexpected quarter. We trust the
judge will publish fewer letters which
can be used where he is not known,
and will make np for such self-denial
by patting himself immediately in* the
gubernatorial race. Let him come out.

trip hid quite a romantic and some
what perilous adventure in Mammoth

what rare, as well as romantic, I will,
with your permission, give your read

The party consisted ot Miss T. and
Miss B. of Atlanta, a German traveler
who had joined tu at Gave City, and
the writer. Having become accom
plished walkista by our experience on
tbe centennial grounds, we did not hes
itate, on reaching tlie cave, to under
take wbat is called tbe long route. This
involves a walk under ground of eigh

visitor for the time and toil necessary
to accomplish it. Indeed, it is tbe only
way to “do” Mammoth Cave.
