I>££CB£R ON THE SOUTH,
’xAßiry Ward Beecher, in his ser
mon on the late Thanksgiving day,
spoke of the B°uth in a manner that
shovshois repentant op ppe point
at least. lie said the South was a
“great people,” ruined, as he thought,
by slavery, which, it might be add
ed, was forced upon them to a
great extent by the British Govern
ment; “but now,” he exclaims, “my
(heart turns to them wjth zeal and
adtniration.” He added {
“I love them : their noble conduct
since the war infinitely more than
wipes out everything that happeued.
[Loud and prolonged applause. J
Some men said “it contravenes hu
man experience to suppose that you
can ever have in 4 mL *rica anything
more than a number of provinces
ruled by a central and monarchical
authority.” Well, in their anopm-r
ious condition at the close of the
struggle the Southern States were
provinces, but where in history have
provinces ever acted as did these
despised SpUnS pf the sunny South?
The men of the Souih h,4s gtood up
for their convictions; they were tue
victims of the curse of slavery, and
plunged by it into war. No men on
the fat*e of the earth ever carried
themselves better pr more nobly.
When ruin was their portion, and
their fortunes were poured into the
open maw of war, they rose to a no
bility that was sublime.”
It is s&id that at the announce
ment of these sentiments “[hp church
fairly shook with applause, and Mr,
Beecher was constrained to apolo
gize for the enthusiasm which had
carpet! him away from the subject.”

THE ENGLISH GRAIN AfAltlflCif?.
London, December 25. —The Mark
Lane Express, of this week, in its re
view of the British corn trade says:
The aspect of the winter sown
wheat plant, gives rise to no com
plaints but too rapid development
may render it more sensitive to the
action of frost later on. Jn the
present scarcity of roots and winter
fodder, the weather and the green
ness of pastures are favorable for
stock farmers. The approach of the
holidays has exercised the usual qui
eting effect upon the grain trade.
Basinet has been confined to the
supply of the Iffimpdfafe require
ments of millers and as a rule ptieps
have been iairly sustained. Large
arrivals from the American Atlantic
portu in a few instances led to a slight
reduction hut scarcely quotable and
as the Baltic porfs are' now plowed
there is on alteration in Russian
wheat. The stocks in hand are, how
ever, large, and iuiporis from India
show no diminution while the export
movement continues fairly active and
a healthy tone animates the market.
In maize last week’s prices for grind
ing were fully supported- Barley
and oats have given way slightly.
Hon, R. T. Haley, of Bowling
Green, Ky„ has written a letter to
Hon. J. P. Benjamin, suggesting
that the $12,000,000 in the Bank oT
England, said to belong to the late
Confederate Government, should,
through a commission appointed by
the Queen, bo used “iu supplying
artificial limbs to needy ex-Coufed
erates, and In such other manner as
said proposed commission may de
termine.
The Supreme Court of Georgia has
decided that a murderer “to be too
drunk to form the intent to kill, he
must be too drunk to form tho in
tent to shoot.”
CARTERSVILLE, GEORGIA, THURSDAY MORNING, JANUARY 3, IS7S.
GORDON AND CONKIING.
The New York Press Upon their Late
Embroglio.
New York, December 17.—The
Post says: “That was a lovely scene
in the Senate Chamber on Saturday.
Two grown men, it seems, indulged
the day before in a boyish quarrel.
The great vvateh-dog of the Custom
House had interrupted his great
brother from Georgia, who lost his
temper, his grip on which, at best,
seems to he rather weak, and he ac
cused the New York Senator ol being
a bully. Our favorite son then
jumped to his feet and running his
hands through his gory locks ex
claimed, not precisely, but in ellect,
‘Ah, ha, do me ears deceive me.
Say it again, again, and yet again.
’Tis false, villain, ’tis false.’ ‘Say
you so?’ exclaims the great chief of
the Georgia pines. ‘I will meet you
anon on the Rialto, fe, fo, fi, fum.’
r fhen they took their seats. Now
what did the Senate do? Did it lead
the country in a shout of derision
and laughter? No! Your real digni
fied Senator rarely laughs aloud.
The Senate gravely quizzed both of
these angry brothers, and taking ad
vantage of the absence of two
warriors from the session, the Sena
tors, one and all, voted to approve of
some mock resolutions which had
been drawn up by that provoking
and venerable wag, Hamlin, assisted
by the mischievous Ransom, the fes
tive llowe and the jocose McDonald.
These resolutions, two copies of
which, we suspect, were ordered to
be engrossed, one to be sent to each of
the bereaved families, are quaint and
humorous.”
The Express says: “Blaine has suc
cumbed. He iiad not spoken to
Conkling for years. The two hated
each other like a pair of church dea
cons or a modern husband and wile
just before divorcement. But they
hated Hayes more than each other,
and this stronger antipathy, with its
more imminent perils, absorbed the
hating capacity of their hearts and
left them to fall into each other’s
arms in an embrace which deserves
to be historical, Behold how good it
is for Republican Senators to dwell
together in unity, especially in the
presence of a common enemy and
danger. As the Republicans are
midwav betwixt tlie devil and the
deep sea, it is necessary for them to
swallow down a deal of personal dis
like and contempt and hang together,
or they will go under. Pasha Conk
ling will find Blaine a serviceable
servant if h e keeps him weli’under,
and the Pasha never keeps anybody
anywhere eise.”
The Evening Post says: “ Two
classes of persons are ready to mag
nify the differences between the Uni
ted States and Mexico, and to ex
aggerate disturbanpeg which occur
from time to time in the border re
gion of the two Republics. Both
classes will probably be disappointed
by the general indifference shown to
tlie report published Saturday of
fighting at El Paso.”
The Express says: “Mr. and Mrs.
Hayea will be entertained while here
by Mr. Theodore Roosevelt, the dis
tinguished rejected. It will doubt
less boa visit of condolence on both
sides, and the two may find comfort
in laying their sore heads together
and soothing each other’s wounds,
s?i\d, jjd\y wicked ft i
In liim to be nominated at Gmeimnui,
when Conkling had set his heart on
the glittering prize. And Roosevelt
will recognize his own total deprav
ity in opposing so strenuously the
Pushup nomination. It is really pa
thetic to think how tlie pwo wifi bpat
their breasts and ipoan, ‘most miser
able sinners, there is no health in us,’
while lawyer Evarts sops up tho salt
tears as they fall, lest they ruin the
carpet, and rushes after Brother
Beecher to administer consolation.
The four together would make a most
moving tableaux.”
The Co / jn)nercfal says. “It cannot
no unpleasant reading for President
Hayes to find Republican newspapers
coming forward to show that the
members of the Cabinet are sound
and reliable Republican Cabinet offi
cers, and ought to be abovo suspicion.
Party fidelity is quite as important a
virtUp ip phe Cabinet as sobriety in
the pulpit and fepti'tucfe jn the family
circle,”
The Evening Post says: “Tlie Sen
ate dropped Mr. Sumner from the
Committee on Foreign Affairs for the
reason that he was not on good terms
with the Secretary of State. Mr.
Conkling li- s been appointed Chair
man of 'the Committee,
Are we to infer from this that the
Senator is reconciled to Mr. Evarts?”
RICH IN THE MOUNTAINS.
The Gainesville Eagle says of the
steadily increasing production of this
valuable grain:
Fgr a, long time it was cnltirated
to but a small e*tept, jn the
tido-water regions of the Bouth-At
lantic States. Then it commenced
creeping inland and westward, along
the Gulf coast, but generally in
swamps or low wef places; then on
tfio higher lands, and further away
froth' the coasts, uritijit snapped mid
dle Georgia. Forty to fifty bushels
to the acre have hitherto been consid

terior lands; but at last it has reached
the mountain valleys of Northeast
Georgia, and Captain James H.
of Nacoochee Valley, White
county, ready to eofppfeje with
tide-water regions of Georgia or any
other State. Captain Nichols has this
year, on several acres of valley land,
without irrigation, and without fer
tilizers', harvested ninetyAhreP and
a half bushels per acre. The eleva
tion of Nacoochee Valley, where this
rice was grown, is not less than 1200
feet above the sea. He has
averaged ihirtyjfiyo bushels of corn
on several hundred acres.

Another international marriage
will probably occur during the com*

The case of Acklin vs. Darrall, of
Louisiana, is also about ready to be

which now has It under advisement.
The report will, no doubt, be in fa

HITTING HAYES.
Win. K. Chandler, of New Haoipslilra,
Doesn't Like the President’s Course.
Washington, December 26th.—
William E. Chandler, of New Hamp
shire, of the Republican National
Committee, has addressed an open
letter to the Republicans of his State,
making a number of explicit state
ments concerning bargains made
during the electoral eount and their
fulfillment by the adoption and pur
suance of the President’s Southern
policy. Mr. Chandler asserts that
the Republican party, by the advice
and procurement of Gov. Hayes,
made “the necessity of keeping the
Federal power in Republican hands
and using It for the protection of
black ana white Southern Republi
cans,” the main issue of the Presi
dential campaign. Chandler says the
“bloody shirt,” as it is called, was
freely waved and Gov. Hayes him
self urged public men to put forward
as our best argument, the dangers of
rebel rule and a solid South. Chand
ler quotes several expressions from
Hayes’ letter of November, 1876,
when Hayes thought himself defeat
ed, and said: “I do not care for my
self, but I do care for the poor col
ored men of the South. * * *
Northern men canuot live there.
* * * The Southern people
will treat the Constitutional amend
ments as nullities, and then tho col
ored man’s fate will be worse than
it was when he was in slavery.
* * * * That is the only
reason that I regret that the news ia
as it is.” Chandler proceeds: “Gov.
Hayes not only pledged himself to
protect to the full extent of the Fed
eral power life, suffrage and political
rights in tlie South, but was counted
in as President only by reason of
such special pledges given by Sena
tor Sherman and other Ohio emissa
ries who practically and emphatically
promised that he would recognize
and maintain the lawful State gov
ernments of South Carolina and Lou
isiana and stand by Governors Cham
berlain and Packard.” Chandler
amplifies these statements at length
and propeecD to elaborate
charges: “Almost the first act of ihc
new Administration was to fulfill a
bargain that had been made during
the Presidential count by which, if
Hayes should be President, the law
ful governments of South Carolina
and Louisiana were to be abandoned,
and the mob governments in those
States were to be recognized and
established. Certain Democrats in
the House of Representatives, seeing
that by the recurring decision of the
Electoral (Joinmission and the regu
lar proceedings of the two Houses
under the electoral bill which they
had warmly supported, Hayes would
surely become President, lud con
ceived the idea of saving something
from the wreck. Thpy had, there
fore, threatened, by dilatory motions
and riotous proceedings, to break up
the count and then opened negotia
tions with such timid or too expect
ant Republicans as they could find.
One Henry Watterson, a member of
the House, and a nephew of Stanley
had actet! as gorbetween
(Senator Sherman in the meantjme
having visited Ohio and consulted
Governor Hayes) and on the one side
Matthews, Charles Foster, John
Sherman, James A. Garfield, and on
pan, F T. Ellis, Randall Gibson,
jS. A. Rijrke and John Young Brown
had 'agreed, first, that the count
should not be broken in the House
but that Hayes should be declared
and inaugurated President, and, sec
ond, th*t upon Hayes’ accession, the
troops qriould be wit|u}n*wn from the
supporf.'of Chamber la (ii and Rnokard,
and that the new Administration
should recognize Wade Hampton
and Gen. Nichois. After the inaugu
ration the bargain was fully carried
out. Governors Packard and Cham
berlain were notified by Matthews
and Evarts to got out.” Chandler
proceeds [it great length, noticing, j
among qther things, the* appointment I
of Key who, in the Senate, denounced
Hayes’ title as fraudulent, to the
Postmaster-Generalship.

STEPHENS ON THE SOUTH.
A SyoopiU of Some of III* View* Upon
Affair*.
[From the Atlanta Constitution.]
In a recent interview Hon. Alex
ander 11. Stephens has freely ex
pressed his views upon a series of
questions of interest in and to the
South. It may be interesting to re
hearse what cur loaders are express
ing abroad and to that end we briefly
Bynopsi.se the views of Mr. Stephens:
Mr. Stephens said that politically
the condition of the South is now
better than it has been for years.
The relations between capital and
labor, never so antagonistic here as
in the North, are easy ad well-bal
anced, so that no conflict is possibly
in the near future. In Georgia he
coaid attest that the people had no
cause to complain of the character of
their government. The laws are
faithfully and impartially adminis
tered without regard to race, color,
or previous condition, and he does
not see where there can be reasona
ble complaint against the authorities.
Justice to all men is as nearly reacheu
in this State as any where in the
Union .
The financial stress is felt in Geor
gia, as in all the South, and trade is
in a deplorable condition. Money is
scarce and credit at a low ebb, not
that men are wholly unworthy of
trust, but because of the distrust of
the business community of tho fixed
ability of the people to meet their
obligations promptly, however will
ing to do so. Why this should bo so,
he explains, is fully accounted for iu
the lon price of the staples. These
hardly repay the cost of production.
Where crops are short they are al
most entirely the sources of heavy
losses. The corn crop of North Geor
gia is abundant, but the price is low,
the markets hard to reach, and no
profit possible to the farmer. All
these things combined to make hard
times among the people.
The present relations of the races
he saw no reason to believe would be
anything else than permanent. The
reciprocal interests of the land-own
ers and tenant* demand peace and
harmony between them and tho ex
perience of tho past few years attests
that both classes recognize the neces
sity, Employers are disposed to be
just to their laborers and the laborers
faithful to their employers; so long
as this Is the case, both will prosper.
The material interests of both are
found by them to be of more account
than party or politics, and grounds of
dissension and distfi r hnpe in this
regard are becoming very rare, The
negro is learning to again put confi
dence in the honesty and integrity of
his white friends, and the white peo
ple are rapidly renewing their solici
tude for the welfare of hard-working,
honest colored laborers. This is (he
reciprocity which, in due time, is to
re-establish identity of feeling and
interests between them, and lenew
the ancient prosperity which blessed
both.
Mr. Stephens thinks Georgia has
made ample provisions for the abso
lutely necessary education of her
growing people. The ne>y constitu
tion adda $100,0(10 to the fund. The
educational interests of the colored
people are as fully and permanently
guaranteed now in Georgia as in any
State in the Un on. There is nothing
is not given to them. The white
people nay the cost of all this anti in
so doing they prove their Readiness
to discharge their duty to all races as
fully as the genius of our institutions
demands. This is a grand triumph
for the fame of Qeorgia,
As to flie next president, Mr. Ste
phens said it vas too early to venture
any predictions. The South would
accept any man possessed of the
requisite qualifications, ability, hon
esty, patriotism and devotion to the
great principle* of free American
government, without cavil as to
whether he was an ]viß(,ern, Western,
Northern QP Southern man. All we
want is an able and true man in the
Presidential office,
Adjutant-General Latth, of Penn
sylvania, estimates that the amount
of money requiring to pay the sol
diers who were called out to quell
the labor riots in nearly
fuIQ.GQQ, provided ' the Legislature
decides to allow full pay for the frac
tional month over fifteen days,
Should the troops be paid for actual
service only, $225,000 will be requir
ed. The feeding of the militia will
cost about SIIO,OOO, and tho entire ex
penses incident to the riots nearly
$500,000,

The two largest business houses in
Salt Lake City, receiving 200 letters
daily, have not bought $5 worth of
stamps from the Walt Lake post office
for two yeare, but they have stamps
constantly for sale; and one offered
to furnish the Salt Lake postmaster
with $1,500 worth. A Mormon from
Southern Utah, eoruing into Salt
Lake recently, bought now furniture
for his entire Bouse, and paid for it
in postage stamps.
The managers of the Washington
Monument Fund publish a state
ment to show that about $240,000
raised by the contributors was receiv
ed by the Society, and that about
$230,000 was expended to put the
monument in its present condition.
Avery pertinent query is: Who has
stolen the money raised by voluntary
subscriptions in nearly every city in
the Union?
The Philadelphia Times justly con
cludes that the poorest family we
can think of is the Vanderbilt faiaily
with their scores of millions of mon
ey, their consuming greed, their self
defiled home and the boundless con
tempt they have so justly provoked
from mankind.

rumor that Secretary Evarts will re-,
