promptly to the rescue, defending the
grabbers, by stating that he or they
have not or do not intend to draw
the increased pay. This dodge was
recently t-ied in the case of Senator
Horton, of Indiana, chairman of the
■Committee of Privileges and Elec
tions, and through whose hands the
hih passed, and by him approved, and
who, backed by his committee, au
thorized Senator Josnua Hill of Geor
gia to report in favor oi eight tnou-
sand dollars for the late and future
•Congress, instead of five thousand as
• ki the bill passed. Hill made tne re
port as instructed, and in Morton’s
presence, stating that it had the
unanimous approval of the commit
tee. The Terre Rant Journal refer
ring to this matter, says: “ It is use
less for Senator Morton or his friends
to seek to deceive the public. There
. is a record on this subject and we
- we prepared to prove what we here
, lay.”
Morton wont draw his increased

CESSATION OF BICKERING
The LaG range Reporter copies the
following paragraph from a late let
ter of Col. Blanton Duncan:
“Real Democrats, therefore, how-
e\< r they may have differed last year,
•i'her upon questions of policy or
♦>)«diency. will insist absolutely
®l">n a cessation of all bickering; and
those who attempt to embroil the or
ganization, or to split it into lactions,
find themselves crushed under
will
the united and harmoniously em
phatic condemnation of the masses,
whenever the voice can be heaid.’
To the foregoing the Reporter re
sponds:
“lie is riijit; the Democratic party,
taking warning by the disastrous de
lea! ot last fail, will never again make
a tight on any principles but those
on which it was founded and by
which for so many years it. made our
Country t he most glorious among the
nations of the world.”
Such is the sentiments of all good
Democrats. Never was a party so
Completely sold out, and at so small
* price, as t he Democracy was last
year. Let toe true and solid Democ-
racy put their heels upon ev-ry at

ments in our deliberations True.

♦aoaMon to p. iunl the Becn-iarv,
i by the monarchists of Europe, and
that the influence of the “ Model Re
put lie” on the European masses is no
longer so much dreaded by the adhe
rents of the old forms of govern
ment, and even the more thoughtful
and intelligent among our own peo
pie are coming to the conclusion that
there must be something radically
defective in a system of governme.it
which, under the name of a Repub
lie, lacks none of the despotism of
kingly prerogative, and under which
there is so little security for public
tranqni'ity, life, liberty and prosper
itv. The News comes to the conclu
sion that.
With corruption in every depart
ment of the Government, States over
whelmed with debt, Legislative mobs,
burdensome taxation, anarchy, uni
versal distrust and alienation, surely
we have little to boast over even the
worst of the monarchies. We need
not be surprised then if Europeans
find little to admire in our R. -publi
can form of Government as adniinis
tered br the Radical party.
In noticing that the treachery of
Capt. Jack, the leader of the Modocs
(which culminated in the death 01
General Cauby ami Mr. M each am), is
received throughout the land with
cry for vengeance—vengeance, speedy
and bloody, the Savannah Advertiser
says, referring to the order of exter
mination issued by the Commander-
in-Chief: “In the midst of this ex
citement we would commend the
earnest consideration of the semi
ment which heads this article. Be
fore the sword and brand are applied,
let ns look at the example we have
set before these untutored, unchris
tian and uncivilized people” The
Advertiser then propounds the
quest ions:
lias the Government kept its
plighted faith to the Indians, to its
own citizens? Has it not acted iu
bad faith, with treachery and dissim
ulation ? Are there not those in our
own midst who can bring evidence of
treachery and bad faith on the part
the Government before which the

In an article on the progress of the
Cuban revolution and the prospects
of the early success of the Carliste,
together with the increased opposi
tion to the Spaui-11 Government upon
the Island, the Augusta Constitu
tionalist thinks the time for govern
mental influence in the cause of free
Cuba, on the part of the Uni ted States,
is gone by. if it were at. any period
advisable. It says there is no
—good reason why this country
should intervene in the wav of pur
chase, even if Spa n were willing,
and if the Cubans desired it. Com-
mercially, Cuba would be advanta
geous to this country as an inde
pendent republic. But there are no
political reasons why it would be a
desirable acquisition to this country.
Referring to the popular demand
r ° r the extermination of the Modocs.
the Chronicle and Sentinel says that
nothing is clearer or surer thuu that
the Caucasian will never brook a
ii\al rebellious race on this conti
nent, no matter what their natural
rghts may be. The tale of the last
of the Mohicans has been written;
and that very soon will the last of the
Modi.cs become the subject for the
pen of the novelist and poet, and
cnallenge onlv the interest of archaj-
logical research to illustrate the his
tory of the man of the Stone Age.
Says that paper:
But this is not the only mission of
the American, nor will “manifest
destiny” be satisfied until the “whole
boundless continent is ours.” In
another generation or two the flood
of Caucasian emigrants from the
East, flowing like an irresistable tide,
will cover every habitable spot, to
fhe exclusion of every other race and
kindred and tongue, North and
South, and East and West.
I here is great activity at the naval
stations below New Orleans. Eight
monitors are in readiness for Service.
It. is believed that Cuba is now the
coveted possession. The New Or
leans Picayune thinks that the con
dition of Cuba and Spain is not un
suspicious of such design—to wbRli
the Columbus Sun replies that
there is an element in the North
acquiring Southern territory. Both
Mr. Jefferson and Mr. Tyler met
with the most rancorous opposition
from this element, and, though the
chief cause—slavery—which stiniu
lated then is now removed, the hos
tility still lingers, aud the President
would have to resort to some means
of allaying it before his designs, if he
lias such, could be put into execu
ion.
Referring to the State Printing
matter, the Columbus Enquirer says
that it does not regard the case
against Mr. Hemphill as made out
simply by the showing that he charg
ed the State the regular printers
rate by the thousand ems, and paid
the printers the regular weekly
wages. The editor, who is a practical
printer, says:
The rates established bythePrin
tors L uion iu Atlauta—50 cents per
thousand ems, or S21 per week
must be regarded as their estimate of
a fair equalization of the two modes
of employment. The Public Printer
had the right, we suppose, to charge
the State by the thousand ems; aud
if the matter to be printed had so
much “lat in it as to make to him a
lflaterial difference between payment
by the thousand ems and bv the
week, the justice of employing the
pi in.era by the week aud receiving
pay from the State by the thousand
is properly a question between the
I ublic Priuter and the compositors
the State being only charged accord
ing to a system which Mr. Hemphill
had the right to adopt.
The Griftin Star, discussing the
same subject, has this to say
ma y true that there are some
differences of opinion between Mr.
Hemphill and Gov. Smith about the
charges of the former for State print-
mg, but the law presumes every man
to be innocent uutil the contrary is
proven; consequently we think it
would have been more becoming in
the Herald, as a member ot the Press
Association, to have waited until tlie
uiattei was fully settled beforegivinor
any of the facts. Another feature we
noticed in the Herald’s editorial in
reference to Mr. Hemphill is, that the
editor of that paper has just discov-
»ied that much of his opposition to
Gov. Smith was founded upon a mis
conception ol the man. Why was
this discovery maue ? Was it because
Governor Smith thought proper to
investigate the charges of a brother
editor? We will not now answer,
but the spirit in which the article.
seems to have been written, looks
tery much that way. We hav* said
this much in justice to brother Hemp
hill, and shall give our readers tlie
benefit, of the whole matter
we cau get the facts.
The Griflin News has this to say
on the subject:
It is to be regretted th.it these ru
mors were made public, without they
had been proven, thus casting a sus
picion upon the character of a gen
tleman whose integrity has always
been above suspicion. We have no
doubt but what Mr. Hemphill will
demonstrate his utmost good faith
in the mutter, for we do not believe
that he would intentionally wrong
the State or auy one else out of a
cent.

One of the most painful and horrible
calamities ever known iD this city oc
enrred last evening, by which the dea'Li
of oce man and the possible end of an
other was caused by poison !
About 5J o’clock in the afternoon, Dr.
J. W. Craig and Judge Thomas Pallutn,
of the drug house ot rleura Craig & C.-.,
jf tins oity, went into the cellar of their
stare for the pu»pose ol taking a dru-k
of whisky. In the basement where the
whisky is kept is also u chemical tabora-
fory, under the .management of Mr. J.
F. Jones, formerly i.f Virginia. Judge
Puiloai remarked to Mr. Jones tu«t tie
was feeling badly and believed he wouid

drawn, Mr. Jones piopo-ed that l y put

peel in the gl sees it would aste better,
and tne gentlem-n asseufug, Mr. Jones
ook from his laboratory what he
supposed was the elixir of orange peel,
und “daehod” the driuks. But, alas!
the terrible finale prvoed it to be aconite,
one of the most deadly poison I Sir.
Jones took • drink also with Dr. Craig
and Jndge Pahman
In a abort while Dr. Craig became
visibly affected, and the terrible fac
fUshed upon his niiud tbai. he had taken
poison. He at once took an emetic, and
nuooeeded in vommng. In the mean
time, Judge Pullum had stepped out,
and the employee? of the firm became
uneasy about him. At tLis juncture he
came luto the store, and tne poisonous
draught was having us edict upon
mm. Dr. Miller was immediately sent
or, aud hod him earned to his office ol
Broad sireet. Dr. Lowe, a member oi
iie firm, at this umo took Dr. Craig bj
he arm ana the two went to Dr. Craig’s
residence on Marietta street. After nr
riving there the syrnp urns sga’n became
iarmiiig, and Dr. Asuer was sent fer,
ut all efforts piovid futile, and at half
ust nine, in great agony, Dr. Cru'g ex
pired.
At 11 o’clock, the hour at which this
article is penned, Judge Pul um is lying
«■■ Dr. Miller’s office in gloat agony, jhu
uot expected to recover.
Mr. Jones went ,o his boarding
house to suoj er and re urued. He then
complained of fueuug the effeo.s of
the ooison a little, and returned to his
room. Wo did uot iearn whether he
was seriously effected or uot.
These were about all t< o important
.’acts we could gather at to late au hour
hour. Of course, under the excitement
wmeh was prevalent, tuinbe less rumors
were afloat, of whicu we deem it im
proper to recite.
Eye witnesses state that Dr Craig’s
sufferings w*-re intense, and the only re-
mnrk he made was, “What a horrible

New York City contains the
densest population of any city in the
world. The population to the square
mile in several of the largest cities in
the world is as follows:
Lon 'on 26 000 Pekin 28 5-0
Pari?, 28,000 i New York,.. 43 000
Pekin has generally been regarded
as surpassing all others in the density
of its population, but it appears that
New York exceeds Pekin by 14,500,
or more than fifty per cent per square
mile.
The recent municipal election
in Kansas City, Missouri, demon
strated that on a square fight the De
mocracy have a clear majority in that
city. The Times states that the solid
Radical vote augmented bv at least
two hundred Democrats;, and rein
forced by $15,000 slush, was only
able to poll 250 majority against the
straight Democratic ticket.
