that he has the lampus, and.apply

Where are the boatsed rights of

- -The amendment to the Marion
county Whiskey Bill, by which
Buena Yista is included in its pro
visions, has passed both brandies
of the Legislatue. It is now law
and no whiskey can be sold within
the limits of this town, without the
consent of two-thirds of the domi
ciled free-hollers.
Over three hundred thousand ma
jority of the voters of the United
States have been declared incapable
of selecting a President to preside
over them. Of all the frauds (hat
have shocked the American patriot
and defeated the ends of justice, right
and honesty, the Electoral Commis
sion is the biggest and basest.
—The number of gentlemen anx

this enlightened age, and a sad com
mentary on the backwardness of civ

where will be the glories of the street

country, rests in the fact that princi
pals are charmingly non-come-atable.
The code duello (more aptly diavolo)

From the Macon Telegraph, loth]
Judge T. J. Mackey, ot South-
Carolina, being in Macon on Wednes
day last, sent a message to this office
requesting an interview with one of
the editorial corps oi the Telegraph,
stating that he had some important
facts to communicate in respect to
Carolina and the general situation.
Accordingly, our colleague, Colonel
Jones, waited ou the Judge, and the
leading topics of ti e conversation
which ensued are reported in this
edition, at length.
The Judge gavea very circumstan
cial report of his interviews with
Gov. Ilayes, in the capital of Ohio,
some weeks since, about which vari
ous meagre and unsatisfactory s ate
ments Lave created no little gossip
and excitement among politicians.
On this occasion, however, Judge
Mackey gave the very words uttered
by Gov. Hayes—taken down content
poraneousiy by the Judge, and care
fully reported as they ft 1! from his
lips.
There is no doubt, therefore, that
these were the view's afid opinions of
Gov. Hayes at the time they were
uttered, although it has been charged
that he was subsequently forced by
party pre-sure to modify or abandon
them, and it may well be supposed
that the absolute fraudulent title with
which Gov. Hayes will enter upon his
administration, is obliged to enter,
with a controlling force, into its gen
eral course and character. Without
moral or legal right to the office, it
must necessarily be chamuioned and
directed by the more reckless and
unscrupulous elements of the party.
No doubt such of the Repub ican
leaders as do not take council wholly
of their Southern antipathies see that
there is no hope for Ihe future with
a ‘‘Solid South” against them, and
there is just as little hope of political
ly dividing the South by the Radical
methods of “ bulldozing ,” fraud tyr
anny and repression. Gov. Hayes is
of this class, and ever since his nom
ination has had a difficult part lo
play to keep peace witlUhe other and
larger division of the party. It is
believed they have been too strong
for him several times, and we are in
clined to think they can hold him in
permanent check. With no show of
popular strength—defeated both in
the ballot and electoral vote, he has
nothing to stand on in a struggle with
the old-time leaders of the party.
But still, this idea of building up a
white party following in the Southern
States, however impractible and
shadowy, is flittering through his
brain, and is very manifest in the
1 elegraph of to-day, pul forth in the
Central City of tho great leading
Southern State ot Georgia, at tho rno
me it of a dawning conviction in tho
public mind that lie is to bo iorced on
tho country ns President, is itself a
significant political fact. It is in
tended to quiet apprehension—to dis
arm opposition and to pave tho way
for n white Southern Republican or
ganization.
Is such an organization practica
ble? Not, as wo judge, by tho very
acts which have consolidnteif white
opinion in support of the Democracy
Hayes becomes president by a fraud
ulent triumph over tiie Southern bal
lot. He is the spawn of the roguish
contrivances by which the Southern
whites have boon robbed anil swin
dl and. He is the creature of the iniq
uities which have ruined our States,
the peer, and nothing more, 'f Pack
ard and Chamberlain. His administra
tion will be the crowning triumph
of Southern Radical frauds, and
therefore lie will come before us
with peculiarly unsatisfactory cre
dentials as a Reform leader.
Aud we have that old fashioned
faith in the general honesty of the
people, North and South, to be
lieve that a national administration
founded on fraud and injustice can
never win public confidence or
work public reform anywhere.
The flayes government will be the
first experiment in that line, and
we hope the last one.
Extracts from tiie interview above montionpH
Gov. Ilayes expressed himself
as appalled at nie misgovernment
so long flagrant and disastrous
in South Carolina. He said
“I regard tiie Presidential con
test in the form that has it assum
ed as most uncertain as to its re
sults. I shall perform no act to
influence that result, but do say
unreservedly that the great need of
the South is good government, and
if I am President, I shall, use all
legitimate agencies to foster the
establishment in that long disturb
ed ..ection of intelligent and honest
local self-government.”
These. Judge Mackavsavs, were
the precis ■ words of the speaker
as committed to writing by him.
Mr. Ilayes als d< c’ared, that
“the people of the Northwest will
seek homes in the genial climate
of the South, where lands are
abundant and cheap, whenever
good government, honestly and
economically administered, and
which respects the rights of all, is
established in that section. They
will desire, however, that they
shall receive a kind welcome, if
personally worthy, and that no
personal discrimination are made
against them. With these condi
tions complied with (his exact lan
guage) the cnp’ta! of the North
will pour into the Southern States
in a golden stream.”
He said, further, that tho Rc
publicans of the North are the nat
ural allies of the Southern Demo
crats, owning the greater portion of
the property, and controlling the
chief enterprise of the Northern
States just as the Democrats in the
South chiefly represent its proper
ty, intelligence and virtue.”
At this point, Governor Hayes
also stated that, “We of Ohio
eave recently subscribed twenty
million of dollars to build the Cin
cinnati and Great Southern Air
Line Railroad to Atlanta, Georgia,
via Chattanooga. This alone
gives us an immense financial in
terest in the prosperity of Georgia,
South Carolina and their sister
Southern /States, For if their
property sinks under bad govern
ment, it reacts directly upon us.”
Gov. Hayes expressed a high
admiration for Senator B. TI. Hill,
in view “of his recent highly tern
perate course,” and earnest y hoped
that he would be elected to the
U. S. Senate.
Judge Mabkey says, “Mr. Hill’s
influence will be vast with Hayes
if he is seated.”
In conclusion, Jtidge Mackey
said: “I am satisfied that Hayes
will bo declared President, and
that one of his first acts will be to
recognize the government of
7/ampton in /South Carolina, and
Nicholls in Louisiana. I regard his
utterances to me as meaning this.
But recognition or no recognition,
we shall sustain Governor //amp
ton to the bitter end, invoking the
constitution of the Union and
standing under the flag of our
country. ”
SEARCHING FOR WEALTH IN
THE ARCTIC WILDS.
Amidst the frozen wastes of the
arctic regions thcro aro no doubt,
Btcrcß enough of minoial wealth to
raise half tho human race from pov
erty to riches. If wo could only get
at them I Iu the days of good queen
Bess, tho celebrated navigator Fro
bish mqdo several expeditions into
those inhospital climes in search of
gold. And now we hear of tho re
turn of an American expedition, sent
out by Philadelphian merchants, in
search of mica—a humbler mineral
it is true, but perhaps as profitable.
The Americans had proceeded to
what Is know n to whalemen as Nial
tic valley, and there they had laid a
tramway, built shanties, and conduct
ed mining operations for about six
weeks. The Esquimaux lent them a
helping hand, but only for a short
time, as they had set out on their
summer’s deer hunting. The miners
worked in quarries about 1,300 feci
above tho level of the sea. It was
impossible to carry the tramway to
that height, and the mica was trans
ported the greater part of the'dis
tance on tho backs of the workmen.
Some of tiie blocks were remarkably
large and clear, and about fifteen
tons ot mica were broug'-1 away.
The mineral was estimated to be
worth from $5 to sl2 a pound. The
charms of wealth may thus lure us
on nearer and nearer the coveted
north pole. And, after all wc must
have material gain (or an object as
the increase of scientific knowledge
a nd the gratification of a pardonable
ambition.— Cassell's Magazine.
