THE ATHENS GEORGIAN: MAY .2*2, 1877.

Revolting Against Hayes.
tlironine l>i»nf KrnrtIon Wltliln the Rapubliran
Part jf.
Washington, May 9.—The dis-
ratisfiiction which tlie great body of
the Republican party feels toward
the Southern policy of the admin
istration becomes daily more apparent
here. Every Republican politician
who visits the capital tells the same
story privately, whatever be may
pretend to the President ami his
Cabinet officers. There is no doubt
as to the attitude of the masses of the
party in Ohio. The feeling in the
Western reserve grows in intensity
as the people begin to comprehend
the President’s action in the Louisi
ana case. The manner in which the
Packard eovernment was sapped and
undermined by the commissioners
si-nt there to report upon the situa
tion to the President, excites the ut
most indignation whenever it is made
plain to the common mind. The fact
that the commissioners seduced and
intimidated negro members of the
Packard Legislature into abandoning
him and joining the Nicbolls Legisla
ture was sufficient of itself to excite
the indignation of every honest lie- Sun.
publican w ho was governed by prin
ciple and not by policy. But when
the true cause of the appointment of
King to he Collector of Customs at
New Orleans was made known this
indignation was, of course, intensi-
tied. It was bad enough for Haves’
commissioners to help Southern
Democrats buy and frighten negro
members of the Legislature away
from Packard; but when Hayes him
self bought a Justice of Packard’s
Supreme Court with a bribe of 810,-
001) a year by appointing him Collec
tor of Customs, the decent Republi
cans began to lose what little patience
remained. They could understand
that this appointment of King broke
the qrorum of Packard’s court, and
lienee there was no legal remedy
even left lbr him. l»v this purchase
Judge Packard was effectually
otopped from instituting legal pio-
ceedings, which might have been
earred up to the Supreme Court of
tiie United States. These facts have
had their influence upon Ohio Repub
licans, and gentleman just from that
^'ate say that all the influence of the
administration will not avil to pre
vent an outbreak in the convention
- " ii to be held. Hayes himself is
frightened at the outlook, Stanley
Matthews is sti 1 worse demoralized.
Oartield, who retired from the Sena
torial contest after Haves wrote him
a letter requesting him to get out of
Matthews’ way and be the adminis
tration candidate for Speaker of the
House, is in deep water. The Re
publican ot his district are opposed to
Hayes’ Southern jiolicy, and if Gar-
fiehl casts his fortunes with the
adminstration lie is dead politically.
The news from the far West is still
more discouraging to His Fraudulen-
■ The Iowa Republicans are
unmeasured in their denunciations.
It is questionable whether McCrary

hepnhlican State Conucntion takes

"’mistration is a question be avoids
sentiment, but intimates that it will
come too late to save the Republican
party from defeat in 1880. That
Northern ideas are certain to control
the country eventually he does not
doubt, and four years of Democratic
rule with Southern statesmanship
dominating will only accelerate the
progress of Northern ideas. The
negro, for the present, will cease to
be an impartial»factor in Southern
politics. He will simply give bis old
masters additional representation in
Congress, and if lie votes at all it will
be at the dictation of bis employers.
Thu only Southern State that will
grow in population and wealth during
the next decade will be Texas. In
1880 every Southern State will have
fallen off sufficiently to decrease her
representation. The first issue will
come on the proposition. The South
will resist the reduction. There may
be a dispute as to the accuracy of the
census They will claim that North
ern Republicans want to disfranchise
the i egro because they have lost
control of him, and Northern men will
insist that power shall belong to that
section which grows by the enterprisa
and energy of its population.—N. V.

When this class of men that are ever
ready to cry “ wolf’ at everybody
to divert the public mind from their
own actions in the past, shall have
passed into insignificance ami will
only be remembered by the public
for their unfaithfulness to every trust
imposed in them, General John B.

good deeds wi 1 shine like the last
lingering rays of the king of day
upon the mountain peak as lie sinks
to rest behind the western horizon,
to perpetuate and keep fresh in the
memory of unbonied generations
their fidelity to Georgia’s interest and
their own honors When they are
called from this mundane sphere *o
enjoy the rest of eternal bliss, their
pure and unspotted names will be a

Dear Sir—Not being upon yonr
list of correspondents, I hope you will
excuse my seeming rudeness in
Inking this liberty of addressing you.
From my personal knowledge of you,
and the interest I know you to feel
in the welfare of your constitutents
and the people of Georgia, I thought
it would not be amiss to inform you
of the condition and management of
the convict force under my charge
On my last visit to the different
camps, I found them well provided
with everything necessary in the
way of provisions, clothing, medical
aid, etc., etc.; good, comfortable
houses, with stockades sixteen to
eighteen feet high. During summer,
the buildings are whitewashed once
per week with lime. In fact, every
precaution is used to avoid sickness,
and promote the health of the con
victs. Each convict is furnished with
a half gallon bucket to cat out of,
and their provisions are well cooked
They are allowed one-half pound
meat per day, two pounds meal, one-
half pint of molasses. Each lessee
has a garden of from five to one hun
dred acres, owing to the number of
convicts be lias to feed. During
winter and spring, they are given as
many peas as they want. Each
camp has nn oven similar to those
used in bakeries in cities; also, large
kettles for boiling their vegetables
in. When cooked and ready, each
mail’s allowance is put into bis bucket
that bears the number which he has
upon liis bat. They are allowed,
during the summer months, two
hours to eat and rest; in winter, one
hour. Their houses are aired, swept
and cleaned out once per day by men
detailed for that purpose. Their
beds are made of shucks and cotton,
and have two or more blankets.
When a man gets sick, be is looked
after by men about the camp. They
have good hospitals inside of the
stockades. The chains are taken oft'
of the men when they get sick, and
they are placed under .the directions
of the doctor in charge. He is fur>
nislied with any diet lie may want
that is deemed best for him. I will
add, that the hospitals have cots,
something similar those used in the
army, to sleep upon. The lessees tell
me that outside of their duty to the
State and humanity to the convicts,
they find it to their interest to keep
the convicts in as healthy a condition
as possible, for when one is sick, they
do not only lose liis labor, but incur
the expense of nursing and feeding.
I have made this letter more
lengthy than I intended. I will now
close by saying that the “ sore-hcads”
in and about here have exhausted
their supply of ammunition, and not
a single shot lias come .near to molest
War Ships ami Torpedoes.
Mr. E. J. Reed, the British Naval
Constructor, recently delivered a lec
ture before the Society of Arts in
London on war ships and torpe
does, in the course of which he
said:
“ Neither the suspension of chain
nets nor additional bulkhead division
in ordinary forms of ships will be a
sufficient, or anything like a suffi
cient defense against this deadly sub
marine instrument of attack. No

He believes that there the dignity and high standing of two
doubt it is an instrument to the use j
of which many chances of warfare at I
sea are averse, and it is one which is i
utterly unavailable as a means of
attacking the shore. But on the
other band, as a means of attacking
slcps it is of a most formidable char
acter.’’
“The naval Whitehead torpedo
delivers a most' terrible blow; it
moves for the space of some hundreds
of yards with a speed double that of
the fastest iron clads; its path is so
sure and true that at the distance a
second torpedo can be made to pass
through the hole which a first has
made; and, whereas, it has becu
assumed that in ordinary conditions
of weather and naval warfare, under
steam, a ship could not have more
than a few feet of her depth below
water attacked, the torpedo has the
whole immersed bo’tom of the ship
exposed to its assaults. In the SnU
tan, for example, while the side to
the depth of six feet below the water
p:esents to shot and shell an area ol
less than two thousand square feet,
the surface presented to torpedo at
tack is about eight thousand square
feet.
“ In view of these facts I have
been deeply studying the effects of
the torpedo upon the forms of ships,
and I have already come to the cons
elusion that while in existing ships,
and especially in existing large ships,
which arc more or less unwieldly,
chain-net protections and internal
subdivisions and notifications of
stowage must be resorted to as far as
possible, and while also in action
such ships must be kept under steam
and under the helm to the utmost
practicable extent, as regards the
future no more such ships must be
built. Small iron-clads of great
brea tb and short length can be
made so handy as to find in their own
agility—associated with such modifica
tions of form as arc necessary even to
them—sufficient security against tor
pedo attack.
“ But in the case of line-of-battlc
ships a total change of form is nec
essary to meet the torpedo, and the
days are already numbered of war
ships more or less long or narrow,
and with deep bottoms of thin iron,
containing the steam boilers and
powder magazines. IIow that change
is to be brought about in this coun
try under our system of administra
tion I do not know. But this
know—that it must be accomplished
somehow.”

the various diseases of the Lungs, after
trying different remedies, spending thou

entirely recovered their health.
