She vanquished even Ben Bailer with her list” Norniso will relieve the country ol the pressure of civil service reform ex cept a Mexican war, and this is what Ord is endeavoring to arrange for. Tna letter of Mr. Hill which we prim eleewbere on the ahoatlon in the sev enth district, wilHttnct both atten tion and comment. Tna talk now is that the Kerman emperor is to abdicate. Bit it seems a pity to make a target of Unser Frill. _________ Tna republican conventions thus far are not whooping np the Hayes admin istration as enthusiastically as is the cost m. Joh*8uku<an’s motto is now “Good bye, ’Lai Jane” She went up tbenew cut road, snd John went down tbe lane, and it is to be feared that they’ll never be thick again. The income of the Haw York Timer, by far! the ablest republican paper li the country and in rainy respects the fairest, is $1,200,000 a year. This la quite a neat little sum. Tna Burlington Uawkeye says Tna CnasrrruTtox is "one of the brightest and abli st of southern papers.” Gen tlemen, yon have touched us in our tendereat sgot. Nerd we ssy more? It is one ol ibe mysteries cf modern politics bow an honest, conscientious man can bring himself to vote the re publican ticket. Mindl We don’t say be dose. We are merely supposing a Wa'u. put Kust i’ nEaton sgainet Jenke’a wife of Louisiana any day The only charge that can be brought against ’List is that she wa,a little tou thick with John Sherman. soo O-e-eightieth of tbe whole amount is certainly a very small proportion, when the length of our rivers and tbe needs of our harbors are taken into consideration. If therefore the organs insist upon charging the democrats of this congress with the patting of schemes of extravagance into the river and harbor bill, let them be candid enough to except the mem bers from Georgia. They are not guilty. 1SXA3 POLITICS. s renteenth instant in Austin. Tbe Dimes of seven hundred ai.d twenty-four delegates have already been reported, and there are perhaps a doxm distant counties to hear from. The Texas democrats believe in having a Urge convention if they have one st all. The interest i- cbiefly—we may say, wholly—centered in the nomination of Gov. Hubbard's successor. According to tbe G.lveston Hews, 180 delegates will go up to Ass- tin instructed to support Gov. Hub bard, ISO will in the same manner steed up ih favor of Representative Throckmorton, and 61 of Master Lang, of the state grange-leaving 313 to vote as they please as far as instructions are concerned. Tbe nnlnatrucled are, therefore, mas tore of the situation. Ii the two thirds rule is the custom it Texas, there may be a considerable trouble in selecting a chief etendard- bearer for the campaign; but the Tex ans are, we hope, too sensible to adop' any such dissension breeding propoei tion. An ambitious and practical people are apt to say, Let the majority rule— thus accepting in its fullest sense the theory of our form of government, and filling the men who thrive through combinations and intrigue with despair Tbe democrats of Texas have j s finished a very active canvaa for the gubernatorial nomination. The delegates are selected, and the convention is lo be held en the 00 *F 008 way to do this—quick and strength ol the army to twentv-five thousand men as soon as possible. After a year of hesitation we are in short to have a spell of vigor and decis ion, snd unless the Greasers keep out of tbe war, stirring news may be expec ted from the R.o Grande country bt-fore long. The Du people claim that the troub les ct the border originated with the Indians. The ofiendieg tribes are tbe Apaches and Lipins. But the best evi dence is to the ejfect that the Mexicans biro these Indiana to steal Texas atoex for them, often arcnmpanyio. them their most promising raids. It matters little however whether tbe M-x cans are at. the bottom cf tbe nude orTiot; they ere made from, and the booty ir carried ’ back to Mex can territory. Mexico must therefore be held respon tible for them, snd in case of failure to repress them, ae is well established, i: becomes the duty of the government to protect tbe people of Texas. There is vigorous puisnii to the point of cap ture. If this leads to war, let it ccme. But there is little danger of war. Dus may blaster bat his country can- afford to fight the forty millions on this side of the Rio Grande. Firmness at Washing 1 on and prompt- in re-enforcing Gen. Ord’s com mand will, we verily believe, quickly and peaceably dispose of these bolder difficulties. We can and should crowd ihe Greasers into doing their fall duty towards os The administration can not honorably adopt a diffjrtn, policy.

Mr. M. was chosen six years ago through an alliance between the republicans and a handfnl of democrats. He will attempt, it ia said, to win again by a similar combination. Governoi Vance, General Clirgman and Mr Leach are also democratic aspirants. Governor Vance will certainly secure the moat positive support, but perhaps not quite enough to ensure his election In that event General Clingmsn has a chance of regaining the seat that be filled at the beginning of the war. THERIOB/S or A STATS. Tbe solicitor pf tbe treasury, Mr. Rtynsr, has decided that the claim of the United Slates to the gold waich the state of Virginia had on deposit in the Kscbange Bank of Richmond, in April, 1*6). has no merit. Mr. Raynor holds that the federal government fell heir to the properly of the* confederate g ivernmeut, but not to property of the state* which composed the confederacy. In his opinion—snd it is the correct one, although the theory upon which it is based was long ignored by such red cali os the late Tbaddeus Stevens the state ol Virginia remained a state as before upon the extinction the confederacy, and could lose no right to its property nor the federal government gain ai.y. When such reo gnition of slate rights come* from a department presided over by the monumental sneak of tbe age, there must certainly be hope for the future. We have received several letters about Mr. Hill’s interview, snd bis let- of response to our request for a statement from him about the subject of hie interview, torn'-of these letters are in praise of Mr. Hill, and en dorse what he has said on the subject. Others criticise him we think ur justly. Tbe writers of all these letters wanr them published, and over anonymous signatures. The former add no nee facts to what has already been publish ed, and hence we do not think it ia nec- eaaary to take np our space in repeating what has already been said. Those who have written letters criticising Mr. Hill’s position, generally preetm aomi favorite of theire - who saved the etate- and blame Mr. Hill for not mentioning their man and bis sets. It would not fair to Mr. Hill to call on him edito rially to give ns historical (acts, and then permit anonymous writers to dis pute his facta, and upon anfasue he did uot make —that is, who saved the state 7 We will inform these gentlemen that our headline man raised this issue. It they desire to discuss this ant ject with him he can be found at the office from p. m. to 3 a. m. He ia not aa t lcquem with the tongue and pen as Mr. Hill; but he ins bad man to tackle. We have been inclined several lutes to eng gest him as a suitable man to make a state saver out oL If the controversy keeps up we will suggest him. It la possible be did not save it in 1887, but has several times since to oar certain knowledge. It is s (set carious enough to be no ticed that among all these communica lions before no, notone gives the people any praise for what was done. We arc inclined to think the people saved themeelv.a. We had good men ana trne who aroused them to act. It wa- heir duty to do it. But the people are the heroes and deserve the praise. It is a (act that we had a great many men who wanted to fight, and seeme.i be in dead earnest about it in 1867, who were in bomb proof positions during the whole war, who did not aid oa either in tbe councils of the confed erate government or in the army. They got rampant when it was too late. This kind of stuff will not do for hero limber We want a man aa a model hero, who willing to follow the people when they say fight—not to lay dormant while they struggle for lite, and when peace comes to raise the war-whoop and brandish the tomahawk. These are not the men to make savers of state out ol We have no objection. whatever in publishing letters from any responsi ble ptrtiee, over their own signature-, who wish to add any additional facta to or to contravert, anything that has al ready been published. We cannot publish anonymous communications oo this subject. TBS MSXICtS PROBLEM. THE Si rag JSO BASSOS BILL. An official copy ci the river and harbor bill shows that it appropriates about nine millions and a hall dollars. The average appropriation of late years has been five millions. There is no doubt that the bill for the current fiscal year contains questionable items. We giveafew as an illnstra'ion: F a and Wisconsin rivers, $350 000; Sr. Mary's river, Michigan, $175 001); KiniwLa river, West Virginia, $320,000; C pe Fear river, Horth Carolina, $110 000. Three and many other items in the bill are certainly very liberal — too liberal undcubt. dty for those times, when receipts st the treasury are fail Public sentiment in Mexico ia natn rally aroused against incursions by the army of the United States, and this sentiment has token official form President Dir a has notified Secretary Evarta that be will be compelled make “a demonstration” against the United State* forces should they again invade Mexican territory. A* General Onl has discretionary power to cross the Bio Grande in search of thieves their plurder, the citation is decidedly interesting. Colonel McKenxie in hie lest raid to recover a lot of s len horses, was met by M. can soldiers who, not only fused to co-operate with him, but actually threatened to resist him if be did not immediately retire from Mexican territory. He came back without either horses or bandits. The raids on the people of Texas are be coming numerous, snd ths Apni raids were very daring. In one instance over three hundred head of horses were captured, snd nearly twenty eiii sens of Texas were killed. These facts, sod the request of Dies that the orders issued to Gen. Ord be revoked, led to the calling of the latter to Washington, where a few days ago a consultation wa* held over the bor der questions. It is understood that instead of a revocation of any order to Gen. Ord, that officer was direct ed to consider all existing orders in full force, and that bandits most be punned regardless of territo rial lines and Mexican troops. Gen .Ord’a force ot 2.000 is to be increased aa rapidly as cirutimstapms will permit to CROP AHD OTHER PROSPAC28. Comprehensive and trustworthy re porta indicate crops of unusual magni tude. The pioduct cf wheat will not less than fonr hundred millions ol buehe's, affording one hundred and twenty-five millions of bushels for ex port. It is believed from the known condition of the European harvest, that of this surplus at least seventy million- will be needed in England at fail prices. The oat crop will bs ten per cent greater than last year’s, and the prospect for an average crop cl corn is a good one. The last named is the great ceieal crop of the country. It furnishes both meat son bread, and constitutes four tenths of ah our available culture. The foreign de mand lor it ia not large, bnt ihe home consnaption is immense, snd, owing its various uses, very elastic. We can consume 1,200000,000 bushels, while a crop of 800 000,000 would per haps suffice. It is too early to predict the outcome of the growing crop ia the northern state*, bat ii believed that a good crop is as sated. Barley and rye alike lock well. Cheap and abundant bread it therefore almost s certainty in all paru of the country. In the couth the prospects are unus ually gratifying. The acreage in cotton three per cent greater than that ef 1877, and there ia very little complaint trom any part of tho producing belt. The demand for cotton is yearly in creasing, while the crop of other coun tries is yearly decreasing. Tbe visible supply is very small, and if we should have a five-million crop then need be no fear that th. world will not want it. That question was settled in onr favor when Lump, agreed to let her diplomats instead of her soldiers arrange the eastern ques tion. Fortunately, too, we will nm have to buy a large quantity of bread by impriaonment end not by fines; Hut all laws of tbe state shall be voted on directly by tbe people, and that the legislature shall meet not oftener than once in fear years; that “the Chinese most go;” that interest most be limited to seven per Centum; snd that no one must bs taxed for what he owes. It contains no threat against property; no declaration that greenbacks must be substituted for the bonds of the govern ment—none o? the thoeriea that have brought the new party into disrepute in some sections of the eastern states. The all-conquering Kearney has no intention cf confining his work to Cali fornia. He considers tbe Jane victory as bat the opening cf the fight that is to place “an honest woikirgman” in the white house in 1880. He has, we believe, started for the strongholds of capital to unfold the new dectrines. HisCbineae plank will, however, have to yield the chief place to the greenback plank, which is inadmiuable in California, where paper money is unknown. We thus find that at the outset the new party is like The two old parties in one leading respect—hopelessly divided overourcarrencytroubles. And what, we beg to ask, is a third party worth that cannot agree upon the greenback question 7 The heathen Chinee is not an important factor east of the Rocky mountains, but greenbacks are; and no new pany need apply for favor that is uot prepared to unreservedly demand the issuance of greenbacks upon every possible occasion. Mr. Keamey will find that bis California platform will not salt where John Chinaman is a myth, and greenbacks are a dream and inspiration in all new party circles.

In 1874 Dr Felton made «n I*ue with the Wr- uem of the syatem ot nominations In that dis trict. X do not ttop to determine whether he was right or wrong in the lsaue he made. Itia enough to know he was elected. In 1576 I greatly dehred to aee Ihla breach reconciled. Wtthoal explaining to him my purpose, 1 had a convenation with Dr. Felton In Washington. I found him anxloni to be In harmony with hla petty, hot unable to see how he could make an idnuwe to bring about harmony. Be seemed to. think that the only porpote of acme who had control ot the petty machinery was to use that mecnlnety to bamldate and defeat hlm.ln a fptrlt ol revenge. I th»n ***rin« home usd nuuia St convenient to be in CirtenvHle on the d*y the executive com mittee met to caII tbe convention.

I am only eorry nothlrg can be done to bring about harmony.” Sore tnough Dr. Felton was again sustained by a largely in creased majority Now, I earnestly desire to see this breech heeled. Dr. Felton is s good men. There has oeen no truer democrat in congress. There hu b.-en no representative who hss served hit constituents with greater efficiency, or nore singleness of purpose. The object f the democratic organization is to cecure true snd faithful representatives. There must be tome concession by one tide or the other. Which$hsil make it? Can Dr. Felton be asked to abandon his succecs, abandon his friends who have sustained him, snd submit his claims to a convention which Ae bdkva if called fer the express purpose of defeating him? On the o her hand is there any humiliation to the party lor the convention to remove this im preadon ny tendering tbe nomination to one who has been well tried snd proved {laithlul? 1 think not. Don’t say this is none of ny business. It is my business. I see no hope fer the future—no hope for the preservation of our free in$Utu-* txons—no chaccd to ittcue the country from the domination of fraud snd corruption except in the success of the democratic party. It ta my business to labor for that success any where »nd everywhere, and I intend to do it Harmony is essential to tucoess snd I am strug gling for harmony. Dr. Felton does not defy the petty. If he did, the istue would be differ ent. The party cannot afford to allow its ma chinery to be used “expressly to repudiate” a true man snd a faith ml sentinel. I ace that other true and good democrat, Col. Brown, hss declined to allow his name to bt used by the contenilon. I have heard no other name suggested. The way is new dear for petco aud recot dilation in the 7ih district. 1 ttke the mponribility of offering the olive branch. Let the Ringgold convention tender Dr. Felton the com! ns lion. If be accept;- it, the controversy Is Fettled forever. If he reject it, he is in defiance snd rebellion withcu ixc use and ought to be beaten, snd, much sal love hime, I will help to best him. For no man, however good, has a right to defy his party. Ii the convention muse to tender him the nomination, snd thus keep up the Impression that Us object is to use the organization to defeat one man who hss been tried snd found worthy, solely because that man st one time bditred it was hi? duty to n ake an issue with the felines* ot a nomination, snd La which iwue hehar been twice sustained by tbe pec pie, then‘the “king do wrong srd will do wrong.** The people SAVING THE STATE.

The present democratic party of Georgia was organlzel in Macon in 1867, and early in th* month, 1 think, of December. The pre- ce-dings were publlfhed in the democratic p*pera of that day, and were also printed in pamphlet form snd largely distributed. Neither Mr. Alexander H.

Thoee oi u i who inaugurated tbe call for that convention •rere exceedingly anxious to have the presence, co-operation and counsel of the acknowledged lenders of both the old ante-war parties, and were greatly disappointed in this respect. At tbe conclusion of its labors, the convention or dered the appointment of a committee to issue an address to the people. We weie very anx ious to have our most distinguished men on this committee, and were especially anxious to sp point either Mr. A. H. Stephens or his brother- and Governor Johnson—both because ol their great abilities snd their original positions on tbe question ol secession. We had satisfactory information that Gov. Jo hu son, though not present, was warmly in sympathy with us and he was appointed ou the committee.

I simply desired to in form Mr. Grady how he could find ail the fac s which establish beyond csvti when, where and how the present democratic party of Georgia was first organized after the w ar. Tfiis Macon convention ot 1867 is memorable for more reasons than one. It was the out growth, the ripening fruit, of nine months of hard, fearless work; not by one man, but by many men, and by the patriotic press ol that day, to arouse once more the manhood and the hopes of our people which seemed at one time to be dead.' The object of the convention wts to combine into organization the sentiment that had been awakened and the con vie ions which had been formed, so that they mlthi have ultimate success. In organization, repeat, ts the only means by which men of common opinions and purposes can ever hope win success. The] convention was a large one. snd composed almost < qually of old whigs and old democra’s and represented all the best population of the state. And when I saw, as 1 did ree, life-long whigs like Cabsniss, of Mon* i. and Reynolds, of Newton, unite with life long democrats like Guerry, of Quitman, and Wright, of Floyd, and run np a common demo cratic flag and vow to follow it until the robber bands of bayonet rule were driven from power state. I did exclaim with a glad heart, i'Tbfetek God, there la life In the old land yet!” I hard spent many days with my lamented friend. General Ambrosa R. Wright, traveling and speskii g over the states in years gone by. We had often talked over the prospects of this convention when we heped the work of resist ing the carpet-bag minnions would be transfer red fiom individuals to an organized party. But hts unselfish patriotism, bis fearless devo tion to the right, his bright mind and his hand some form never shown to such advantage a daring the sluing of this canvention. I have read year editorial asking me to write a full and correct account of this period of state history. It will require some time and reference to records to do this. I would prefer that (ome one who had more ability aud leas active connection with ihe facta to be narrated should do tt is work. If no other will I may Pardon me for saying one thing right here. never c’aimtd for myself credit above others in “having saved the state *’ I know well tnat no one man ever *aved the state. All I ever claimed for mjself I have cheeifuliy conceded to others with whom 1 co-operated. We did duty wi’hcut fear and without any expectation of personal reward. I do not bellive the annals of journalism can furnish an instance of more able and more efficient rack than was rendered by the democratic press of Georgia in 1867 and 1863. Without that aid we should all have felled. One more remark and I will not trespass longeron your kindness. During the darkest days of 1867, when hunoreds and thousands of good citizens were joining republican leagues, a number of gentlemen in and near Atlanta formed themselves into a voluntary committee or club in on*er to do wbat they might in oppo anion to the infamies of reconstruction. This committee did excellent work and deserve spe cial mention la any history of those times. In June, 1867, that com mu tee addreesd a letter declaring that nothing but a tear, speech on the line of the “Notes” and made in the city of Atlanta in the presence ol the military authorities would convince our people that they were still free and had the right to dis cuss reconstruction and not yield voluntary as sent to their own dishonor. They urged make such a speech. Ia reply I admitted that' speech oufbt to be made, but insisted it ought to be made by some one or more of our leaders who hid more ability and more national repute- Only a seed; but it chanced to fail In a little cleft of a city wall, id. taking nx-t, grew bravely up 1 a tiny blossom crowned it* top.

The fact that these famous fiyera are to try themselves over the Louisville coarse on independence day has attracted the attention of the whole nation to them. Aa July approaches deeper and deeper grows the interest in this event, and no wonder, for such a match between such notable animals over so great a distance of gronnd has not been run for more twenty y ears.

Mollie McCarthy is a beautiful brown, bred than Mollie McUarthy. Her ped igree is the perfection of streneth and speed. She was foaled In 1873, and is now five years old. Her sire, Monday, was a son of Colton and the ever mem- orable Mollie Jackson, by Vandal, whoae grand performance at heats of three miles crowned her qneen of the turf of her day: Colton was by Lex ington, out of Topai, by Glencoe, she out ol Emerald, by Leviathan, ana the latter was the first offering of the well- bred E iaa, by Rubens, after her arri val in America. Rubens was from a celebrated family. An own brother to the distinguished Cistrel and Belim, being by Butnid fait -rwarla importer into Kentucky), out ol a daughter of Alexander, her dam a daughter of HigLflyer, Herod’s best son, and Alex ander by the great Eclipse. Perhaps no animal bred in any .conntry can show a grander galaxy of ancestry in the male line than can this queen of California. HER DAM. Hennie Farrow, the dam of Mollie McCarthy, waa by Shtmr. ck, and it is doubtful if there ever was a batter bred horse imported to America. Hennie Farrow was bred by tbe late Abner A FREEJLIBRARY.
