THE TUCK COURSE.
A positive policy is needed in the
democratic cam,). The missdeeda of
the enemy, durir-g their long term of
power, ere not (sufficient, nor are
acta of omfesion on the pert
of the democratic party. We can
point to what toe republican* Lave
done and to what the democrats have
not done in the past—to all the fraud*,
pecuniary and electoral, of the one,
and to the clean record of the other;
but now we need something more.
As a party we most show by positive
acta that the democratic party is the
one that should be eutmaied with pow
er. By oar conservatism
must show that safety justifies it; by
oar wisdom, that the general good de
mands if:
The house, as the one part of the
government controlled by the democ
racy, is charged with the initiation of a
positive policy; and we do not know
how it can better begin the important
work than by a rigid adherance to the
policy of retrench merit and reform. The
pr. .tident's plea for hasty action on the
* rmy bill should not be hoeded. If,a* he
•Cj\ the army cannot wait for iui pay.
why did he postpone the call lor an
extra session to October ? Ho asks for
aeveial millions more than was appro
printed for the last fiscal year, and if
the hoose grants his requests, the deni
cm raiic policy is at least suspended, and
tl (f party is thus deprived of a conais-
lentaud positive record, on the sub
j. cL The people are fearfully in earn
*st. They need relief from taxation.
1 hey want practical legislation. They
w«nt an end put to republican extrava
gance. They want congress to
devote its time to the considera
tion of the material interests of the
c-<uu1ry. It is in this direction that a
positive policy which will give entire
satisfaction to the country can be
found. The democracy should show
its* II alive to the needs of the times—
to better administration, to things of
the futnre rather than to fhtaa of the
past, hut above all else, to a well sus
tained effort in favor of the utmost
economy consistent with the efficacy of
the public service.
a msiAKK corrected
The cheap lands of the west and
south may not he al ogether a hum
buy, but they urea deception to this
extent, that limy lure people aw. y
from opportunities tint are equally
good and om. be ui*du .. variable right
at home. The service of a pioneer is
not the most delightful in the world.
Tosettleon uncultivated acres- be they
ever so expansive and rich—and wait
for civilixitiun to creep up to each
fresh nenc'us is a weery life. If one
wishes to be a tiller of the soil it is *
ter to get a N*w England fum
settle down upon it.
Thus says the Bjstoh Tost in the
vain hope of stopping the drain of emi
gration from iia section of the union
The effort of the Font is a natural one,
bat it buses it on erroneous statements
as far as the southeast is concerned
The south baa cheap lands. (?. orgu
lias millions -if seres of such lands, and
her chuichfs, school houses, railroads
highways and tele graphs are already
built. The new comer is in no sense a
pioneer, and wonld incur none of the
risks, experts or delays of
a pioneer. Ills profits from
the rise in the value of land
wonld be great and speedy; for th*-
tide is coming this way. We run no
risk of exaggerating when we say that
a colony of a d* ren families conld,
with half the labor n quire*) on a New
England farm, get from Georgia's sun
and soil at least twice as much money
every year. This is not theory—it is
fact. We call the northern farmers in
Morgan county as wiin»»s*-es.
The Tust’s remarks are applicable
to tha lands of the northwest, wbic
are either dear or new and distant
from market; bnt they do not at all
apply to the south Atlantic states.
ifying change*.
The new senators will essentially
change the character cf the upper
house. The preponderance of brains
in that bjdy will no longer belong to
the dominant party. Messrs. Blaine
and Hoar are the only strong recruits
that republicanism has gained, while
it has lost feherman, Cameron, Logan
and perhaps Morton. The democrats
have gained Hill, Lamar, B*dc, Harris,
Morgan and several others who
will make themselves f elt in the com
ing days of democratic ascendancy.
The fruits of the democratic victories
are plainly shown in the senate. Since
1873 seventeen seats have been gained
from the republicans, and in that time,
the republicans have gained only two
seats—Colorado’s by new creation.
The body stands today thirty i :ne
republicans, thirty-three democrats
and Judge Davis. If Gen. Butler,
and Messrs. .Spoff.r.l and Eustis gain
the seats they are entitled to, and Mr.
Morton is unable to take his seat, the
senate will stand thirty-eight republi
cans. thirty-six democrats, and Judge
Davis. The democratic majority on
the fourth d»y of March, 1879, will
be cousiderab.e. O v iio and California
are already won, and a half doxen
other sta’es will toon be regained. The
►enate at that time will be so etrongl/
democratic that ’here is little danger of
the ftootbern Georgia Agricultural and
Manufacturing Association. The
president of this asncta-'ion, Captain
8. T. Davis, superintendent of the cat
tle department In the state fair, and
Mr. 8. G. McLendon, the very efficient
secretary, are both m the city stopping
at the Mark Gam hops**. As soon as
the fair doses here, many of the exbib
itors will go to ThomaaviHe to compete
lorpnxee at that fair. Any person de
siring information about this fair can
find ou! all shout it by enquiring of
C iptain Davis, or Mr. McLendon. We
can promise all who attend the Tbom-
■sviile fair, a splendid exhibition. The
agricultural displays there ares2wa>s
the best in the state. Among the in
teresting features will be a military
contest between Georgia and Florida
troops. Also a grand review of the
military by Gov. Colquitt, of Georgia,
and Gov. Drew, of;Florida; a four hun
dred dollar porm for the races; a rifle
team and tournament. The whole to
wind up with a grand ball. Governor
Co'quitt vufl deliver the prizes. Let
all these who can get off attend the
fair.
thk fair
We can safely announce that the
fair is s complete success. The number
of visitors yesterday, was as large as at
any fair ever held in this city, and to
day is to be the grand day. To-morrow
there w ill probably be as large a crowd
as to day on the grounds. Good judges
estimated the number present yes
terday at from ten to fifteen
thousand. There will not be
less than twenty-five thousand
present to-day. All the trains coming
into the city yesterday and last night,
were crowded with visitors; and roost
of the railroads are running double
I i rains. Commissioner 1/5 Due was
present on the grounds yesterday, and
seemed much pleated al the display.
He pronounced the stock exhibition
very fine, and in fact probed all the de
partments.
The people of the state are under
many obligations to President Harde
man, Superintendent Smith, and the
excellent executive committee lor this
strand enecess. They have worked
faithfully and deserve the thanks of all
wno desired to tee the fair successful.
The Ohio legislature will contain 15
democratic majority in the senate and
27 m the bouse, making 42 on joint
ballot. L ist year the republican msj ori-
ty was 3 in the senate and 19 in the
house—22on joint ballot. The labor
reformers have two members in the
house from Toledo, both of repnblican
antecedents, and Mahoning county lias
a democrat elected by a fusion with
the workingmeu and greenback parties.
All the others are straight-haired re
publicans or demrersts.

Paris correspondent says the attitude
already attribu’ed to the manthal’s ad
vieera is disquieting. They are said to

hoped that thi9 is unfounded. It is
doubtful, however, whether they cau
count on the combined support of tbe
THE SITUATION OF FRANCE.
A special dispatch from Paris to tho
Timee says: The country has sooken
very cleariy. After five months of
unheard of pressure fewer than forty
seats have been gained by the govern
ment, and these through the local in
fluence, such as the elections are. The
republicans have been made compact
and stronger by the mission given them
by France. Thevjiave a majority of
one hundred nnd*lhirty-four. There
is not a chamber in Eajcop#*wntaining
such a majority. , \ '*/

when they consider the resolution aud
energy the electors mast have had to
bring about such a result despite tbs
pleasure, Which according to a compe-*
tent witness, did as much in three
days as the empire did in twenty years.
\Vhat will thogCLvernment do confront-
edby such an overwhelming result?
No one knows yet; but they seem
decided on again using their

As a third of the senate retires early

during the engagement are buried on
one oi the banks of Smoke creek some
distance from the battlefield. During
the night previous to the surrender of
Joseph, the troops advanced their rifle
pile very cloee to the Indian defenses,
and covered the stream which flowed
in front of the Ind : ans. On the morn
ing of the last day of the fight a storm
of sleet blew sharply, aud the di-com
fort of the troops was increased. A
regular fire was maintained from ©very
point, and au unwary movement on
the part of any of the savages was fol
lowed by
A VOLLEY CF BULLETS.
Until the fifth day the main body of
the Iudiana had shown no signs ot sur
render. Joseph appeared before bis
rifle-pits on the afternoon of the previ
ous day and offered to surrender, sti
pulating that his warriors should re
tain their guns. This was not granted,
and when he appeared on the after*
noon of the 5th instant, he communi
cated through an interpreter that he
desired to make an unconditional sur
render. Even then it was not assured
that bis followers would consent to ac
cept the same conditions. In this in
stance Joseph advanced boldly toward
the earthworks occupied bv the troops,
carrying a Winches’er rifle, and step-
piug in front oi Gen. Miles he extend
ed his piece to him, the muzzle of the
piece pointing to his own breast.
