JJj^The good people ot Aug its are
now much exercised over th ir prts-

While f ere seems to exist some op
position to the system, still it is to lie
hoped and believed that lhe peopleo
Augusta will not yield to the abolish
ing of a system of schools which have
done so much for their city and the
cause of education.
Mr. Tilden positively and emphat
ically contradicts the report that he
had the slightest to do with bringing

may give it, he sails for Europe that
!.e may have a rest front the disturb
ing issues of the day which bring in
question his views and position as re
gards the Electoral Commission, and
it- consequent evil results.
The Russians having crossed the
Balkans are steadily gaining advan
tage of the Turks, and it now seems
only a question of time as to their
final victory over the Turks. It is
reported that the Sultan and some of
his me.st prominent officials are favor
able to an armistice and a settlement
of troubles without further bloodshed,
biit the more pugilistic young Turks
object, and are in favor of trying it
awhile lunger. Though tlieir judg
ment may be bad, yet we say, bully
for their ltlood.
The Chronicle <fc ('outfit ativna/ixt
has this to say : The continent of “ a
distinguished Georgian” upon the
Constitutional Convention has not, so
tar as wo have seen, been published
correctly. The distinguished Geo'r-
gian was Judge l.oehrane, and his re
mark was that “on the first day of its
meeting the Convention abolished the
Constitution, on the second it insulted
liie Governor, ami on the third it re
piidiau-d Gou Almighty." Neat but.
oam'htv.
'i he Const imtional Conventiutt m*
far has not met the expectations of
the |>coplo. Believing that the Con
dition would set itself actively and
earnestly to work in a most dignified
and statesmanlike manner, for the
improvement of our organic law, the
jcople little expected to see on the
The bloodshed which resulted from
the attack on the militia in Baltimore
mi Friday i ight was repeated in
Pittsburg Monday. The firemen
ami brakemeti who are resisting the
reduction of ten per cent from their
wages tisprojK-sed by the Pennsylva
nia Railroad Company collected at
the ctiter depet of the company s»t
Pittsburg. An order was given to
the State militia to clear the track.
Immediately the troops attempted to
carry out this order they were stoned
and fired at by the mob. After a few
seconds the militia fired into the
crowd, inflicting severe punishment,
killing six' and wounding eleven.
A di patcli from Widdiu says:
“ New s has readied here that on Fri
day a large Russian force attacked
the Turks under Osmati Pacha, cov
ering Plevna, a town twenty-five
miles south of Nicopolis. Osman
Pacha made a successful defence.
After a conflict of ten hours the Rus
sians were defeated and retreated,
abandoning tlieir dead and wounded.
The Ottoman loss was comparatively
small.” Notwithstanding this re|»or-
ted victory, dispatches from Shumla
show that panics prevail both at that
place ami at Varna.
A telegram from Tiflis, dated July
*20, says that during the !a«t twenty-
one days the bombardment of Kars
by the Rus-ians has been continual.
An average of two hundred shells per
day have been thrown into the town,
hut many i-f them have failed to ex
plode. The Turks have fired 18,000
shells during the same time. They
have H sufficient siipply of ammoiii-
part of delegates so much, of that tion for 125 days, including a stock
blind prejudice which, if carried into | of shells which may he expended at

The Awful Northern Emeute.
From the columns of the Mncon
Telegraph, wc clip the following:
The tidings to-day are simply ap
palling. The spectacle is presented
of thousands of operatives, laborers
and employees of every description
handing together and defying those
they serve, and even waging war
against the constituted authorities
and the flag of the United States.
They have been joined by the
lower crust of society—those repre
senting the crime, |>overty jipd indo
lence of the community, and now,
forgetful of the proper issues in
volved, the contest has assumed an
agrarian and communistic aspect
which finds its vent in arson, whole
sale robbery and bloodshed.
Millions of property have been de
stroyed, and the insensate mob. ut
terly oblivious to anything save rapine
ami pillage, are now gutting the
loaded ears filled with the property
of private imlividuals, and burning,
ravaging and rioting wherever tlmy
move.
Powerful States have confessed
their inability to check the rising
storm, and do not scruple to call on
the general government for aid.
It has been deemed necessary that
General Hancock should be sent to
tlie front; the President and Cabinet
are in anxious consultation, and it is
even urged that Congress should he
assembled in extra session forthwith.
This is a tremendous state of affairs
in tuc order-loving, peau -nhlc North.
We can but hope that the strong
ami of the law, backed: by. all the
physical force of the government,
will sjicedily prevail, and a death
blow he inflicted itpOii those intole-
raut and dangerous Union' associa
tions which seek to control capital
and make labor dominant and su
preme.
It will he a fearful lesson to the
misguided creatures, hut we trust
will prove salutary in the end.
It will he a fearful lesson to the
misguided creatures, hut we trust
will prove salutary in the einl^.
Tin re is an old saw tluuMj^it is
an “ ill wind that blows nobody any
good.” And this is litterally ‘true?
in the present instance. Hence
forward, our Northern friends will
be unable to throw in the teeth of
the South the charge of lawlessness
and kukluxism, and revamp the lies
circulated concerning their treat
ment of the negro race. A bigger
crime has been committed lit home,
and now in very shame, they must
hold their peace. v ‘
But what, oh, what w’ould be the
plight of our unfortunate people, if
this carnival of blood and plunder
had been |»erj»etrated upon what
was formerly Confederate soil.
Nothing short of the overthrow of
local government, the garrisoning of
the country tvhbarmed soldiers, and
another chapter of reconstruction
would have been the result. *
Let us not lie so uncharitable as to
wish that similar evils may befall our
bret hren North of Dixie. Compared
with these, their present troubles
would be lighter than gossamer, aud
almost imaginary.
The Hampton Government in
South Carolina is .preparing to.bring
some of the late dishonest State offi
cials to punishment. C’ardozo,
Chftmbcrluin’s State Treasurer, has
been arrested, charged with misap
propriation of the public funds, and
it is probable he is only the first of a
large number of ex-officials who will
be brought to trial.
Hayti, not t<v be behind St. Domin
go, is getting up a revolution of her
own. Two exiled patriots are firing
proclamations and ’ prouunctnmentds
at the present Presidents of then* two
happy Republics. •

The Government officials at Wash

strikers, and the grand army of!
thieves and tramps who have joined
the ranks of llm dissatisfied engineers J
..ml firemen, will make a sortie on
Washington and glut the treasury.
Where is the Grand Army of the
Republic? Has the ranks of this
noble band been disorganized and
the flag of their country allowed to
trail in the dust ? or have they en
listed under the banner of “ Burn,
