"Tusas are but two parties," wrote
Emory Speer, in inns, 1872, "the
democrats and tbs radicals, and
one who opposes tbe demrerata forth
era the cause of radicalism.” Quite
true, Mr Speer—aptly spoken. It war
true in 1872, and is just as true now.
He who opposes the democracy as Mr
Speer is doing is undoubtedly farther
ing tbe cause of radicalism. We did
not nerd the testimony of Mr. Speer to
mike it authentic, but we are g'ad to
bays the tea*imony of Mr. Speer on the
subject Hr is a competent witness.
Hualso ttie last boors of the Potter
committee Ben Butler was absent The
committee was very harmonious.
Alt tbe a. mptoms are that Citizen
Speer will not re|ieal the revenue on
whisky in the next congress. This is
too bad.
Ill* eUMBMJ.ll LETTER.
According to Ben But'er, the Potter
committee are in possession of the orig
inal Sherman letter. Bsn has seen it
and baa no doubt of i:a genuineness.
We may therefore look for another
lively Butter in the cibinet, and some
more arg mentatlve letters from Sneak
Sherman to Mr. Potter. It is probable
that this letlet baa but recently come
into the possession of tbe committee,
otherwise either John Sherman or Mrs.
Jenks would have been confronted with
tbe tell-tale document. It may be,
however, that it has been in MacHa-
hon'e little satchel all the while, acd
has been held b ck in order to give a
fitting culmination to tbe fraud inves
tigation, It so, the democratic mem
bers and Ben Butler most have been
greatly amused at Ibe dramatic unve
rac.ty of Jacks's wife of Louisiana
and dlrguated at the more serious
perjury of Hnesk Sherman. It the let
ter, when it is produced, proves to be
the genuine letter, dictated by Mrs
Jacks and written by John Sherman, it
will i ben become the melancholy duty
cf Mr. Hayes to giye his secretary of
the treasury a foreign mission and make
him at least tbe peer of that other
fraud manipulator, Index Noves.

EETVBUUJM COSSOLA TION.
In writing of the greenback move-
movement in the aonth and criticising
tbe attempt ol certain office-seekers to
take advantage of the widespread en-
thnaiaam in favor of financial reform
and organise a new party, we have
made bold to aay that the effort was no
only the sheerest piece of folly that can
devised, bat that it would reanlt in
crippling the democracy. The holies'
republican papers at the north re
gard this untimely movement
much in the same light and are dis
posed to congratulate themselves that
ee oi the close districts it will
reanlt in tbe election oi repob'ican con
gressmen. Time, tbe New York Tri
bune, which, oi late, ie a more pro
nounced organ than the Times in spile
‘ the daily delnga of awash ibat appears
its editorial columns is inclined to
draw c -neola'icn from the altitude of
aome of the more unreasonable green
back man. Speaking of the need of
republican nnity and harmony at the
north, that paper aaya encouraging
signs are not lacking. ‘In very m»ny
doubtful districts,” the ediu r goes on,
"tbe greenback movement, which dem
ocratic demagogue* have lowered so
long, will draw tbe democratic candi
dates a great number oi votes." As a
warning rocket thrown up from the
camps oi Ibe enemy tbe declaration
which we have quoted ahonld cause
our greenback friends to carefully con-
cunaiderithe responsibility they take
when they propose to organise anoth
er party. There are no elements ol op
position to the green blck movement
in the democratic party oi the south,
and we hold therefore that it isthednty
oleven the extremists among the grn. n-
backer* to stand by the old organisa
tion. It ia a duty that ia dedicated by
common sense aa well as patriotism.

l am decided In my opinion that there labor
iglutio&a ore more menacing to the party In
power than to tbe democracy, because the pco*
who are now -offering from the stagnation
butlnem realise that to the times of the tri-
iph and raie of democratic poliilre the trou
bles of this day did not afflict than; and more
than this, they feel that ail the uadit one and
principles of the democracy tell of a brpad sym
pathy for all who seek an honest lxvirg in a fair
way. If. without a compromise of the duty we
owe to there principles and traditions, we cheer
the down cast (»rd it may be the down-trodden >
the promise ol a pare democratic adndnlstra

that toooatnds of there now talxing of a * na

On the mgbt of uat day, after

gan to quarrel at a person named Clack, with
whose brother be bad had a d: Ci.ulty the

ward Sharptin, It stems, but for the purpose of
peace, remonstrated with him for quarreling
with Clack- This led to an Invitation that the
two, Smith and Sharptin, should go outside and
settle the maUer When outside u fight oc
cured between them wherein Sharptin

advice of an old Virginian to a yuuog racer
ucceed at raring, or pretty much everj thing
i i< u best toe any aa little weight aalbe tor
rouudiugs will admit of. The farmers of Geor
gia, as a general thing, have carried too much
weight a ince the war. They have carried
northern meadows, and gardens anr
d dries. Too much wrig it in paying out money
for western bacon, perk, horse*.hogs and units
Too much wcl<ht In the use of northern made
wagons, ax belv shoo handies and brex mi To©
much weight In getting all of their fertilisns
ornslde of the farm. Too much weight in
mortgage* and lien*; tn cultivating too much
land, ic carrying Inferior stock; badly prepared
laud, and in too heavy a load ot cotton. The
truth is. many of our farmers have overloaded
themsrivto. spending more than could be real
x.d from their labor at home, and that labor
oot repaying the cost of what is produced.

should be a fine yield of crops from the fieida,

other words, there should be creditable yields
without damage to the soti. It requires knowl-

Mr John Silver, of John Sdvey <b Co., said
that the crop reports were generally good and
the protpecta were never belter. He waa satis

"ORB-THIRD BETTER.”
Mr. John Barry, of Moore & Marsh, who la a
capital buyer and well pouted, said: We will
have a splendid trade. The crops generally are
Rood and the proportion of cash trade will be
greater than last yeai. Tbe people are buying
more goods than even for yean before and alto
gather trade generally promises to be thirty
three per cent, better than the average of past
years. Atlanta fe looked to more favorably aa u
purchasing point and we are selling to sections
heretofore b :yond our reach.
AN ENCOURAGING OUTLOOK.
Mr. John A. F tten, of T. M. Clark A Co., re
marked that they were getting iff a larger stack
than ever before and felt greatly encjurageu
over the prospects for the season. The country
people are In good condition and are better ab:e
to obtain credit than for yean gone by. The
cash business promises well and taken aa a

constant and permanent incr «ae.

—A reporter went on Sunday to the Bav. Dr.
Arthur Mitchell, of Chicago, to ask for the ma- u*
script of the aermon he had just preached. Dr
Mitchell refuted to give tt to him, on theground
that the use of it would be Sunday breaking. He
said toe repor.er could have it on any week day,
but that he did not Intend to countenance so
much Sunday labor as would be involved in put
ting the sermon In type for Monday’s paper.
The reporter vainly urged that Monday papers
are a necessity, and that much ol the work on
them must needr be done on Sunday. Here Dr
Mitchell took issue with him ard said that toe
Monday newspaper ought to be prepared on
Saturday. Tbe doctor said, however, that If a
short hand reporter chose to take down hfe ser

should make no objection, the responsibility in

TRIUMPH OVER HALF A CENTURY.
Mr. G. T. Dodd, of V. A Q. T. Dodd, a firm
name inseparable lrom the trade annals of the'
Gate City, add:
-Trade will be better than we have bad for
many year*. Lem provisions have gone in o the

suffrages ol the people should hold
himself ever reedy-to answer the peo.
pie, must 6erve as my apology for ad.
dreasirg you. I am too unknown and
too hum ole to interrupt you on the
Biump.; Nor do yen relish that. I dare
not thrust politics on the sacred bench
and interfere with vonr seventh day
ministrations. Therefore I am forced to
thin unsatisfactory method of engaging
your attention, though I have but little
hope of securing your reply.
You Invite me to snpnort yon. You
tell me that George N Leeter ia unwor
thy my vote hectuae of his cotruption.
He ia a lobbyist, you say, worthy of*
the score of a fair and unbought
people., You «tartie the state with
yourcharges. You oppose the eloquent
testimony of yonr friend from Floyd.
Yon practically denounce the action of
the governor of Georgia, who has ele.
vated him t ■ the bench. You den nance

I must deem you in earnest, for to im.
agine t at yon are wantonly traducing
the character of another for political
effect, were to believe you a wilful
atanderiog trickster, with neither the
courage or truthfulneaa of a gentleman.
1 > m. therefore, confident of vour sin-
corny. Those who have watched yoor
course during this campaign must agree
with me when 1 declare that you make
no chargee not t auctioned by your head
and your heart, and which you ere not
willing to prove, and to justify, before
the people anywhere, everywhere—
under suitable circumstances. Yet
