Dead I'al's.
We commend to our readers the fol -
lowing, which we copy from the Wash
ington Gazette. It seems that the evil of
illicit trafic is not confined to any one
State or county. We do not see how our
regular merchants can collect their ac
counts on a certain class if these dead
falls are to cut in ahead of them:
The following paragraph, from the
Marianna (Fla.) Courier, gives, in a
few words, a forcible statement of many
of the evils of these sinks of iniquity:
“ The buying of seed cotton has assum
ed such a magnitude in this county that
the legitimate mercantile trade is crip
pled beyond description. Iu all parts of
the county there are traps which are kept
open at night, encouraging the negro to
steal, and thereby the merchants and the
planters both arc divested of their pro
duce. It has become difficult to hire
hands at all, as they can pick after dark
out of the fields, intone hour, more th an
double their wages would be in a day,
and by cnrrping itto the’nearest trap sell
it, and are cheated out of at leaet one
third ; but no difference to them—it costs
them nothing. There is not one in ten
farmer* who have advanced to their
hands during the summer will be able to
pay the merchants, and it is attributed to
this cause, in the majority of cases.”
Crov. Siuiili aad liie State f air.
The’follow in g'is copied from the able
editorial columns of the Athens Geor
gian. Like the Georgian, we would be
somebody to inform
Governor Smith did or did not complain
<oS the wanfof racing at tits Fair. For
•Oht part, wo don't want a* horse-racing
-Governor:
“ Is it or is it net true, that the Chief
Executive of our State complained that
there was no horse racing or exciting en
tertainments of a necessarily demoraliz
ing character at the Fair ? Is it possible,
with such a fine exhibit of labor-saving
'machinery as was present, with a collec
tion ofsuch superior agricultural products
"s to show the improvement iu this foun
dation interest of our laud, with a display
of fino arts which would have reflected
credit upon an older country, with a pre
sentation of mechanical and industrial re
■•ultsj which should have filled every
'Georgian’s heart with emotions >f pride,
with such a gathering oftha good am}
intelligent people cf the Stale as should
have made every native of this soilifeel
glad that “ hie lot had "been cast in such
plcasaut places,” that his dwelling was
among such a people, that our Governor
could find nothing to interest him, and
eighod as one whose ambition and taste
could only bo fed by such things as a
Chief Exccuti vo should feel it his highest
duty and proudest privilege to discoun
tenance V*
Death of Ex-Prcaident WRsox.
After wavering between life ami death
for some weeks, Henry Wilsow died 'at
Washington, at half-past seven o’clock,
Monday morning.
Under the Constitution the President
of the Senate fills the office of Vice-Pres
ident in case of the death of the latter.
Senator Tuos. W. Ferry, of Michigan,
fills that politico, having been elected at
the last meeting of Congress by a majori
ty of one over Senator Anthony, of Rhode
Island.
Fhe following words, from the Savan
nah Ncm, ’expresses our sentiments to a
TANARUS:
“ There will, be but few'tears abed over
the aunounceme-nt in this seetion of the
country. Mr. Wilson is known chiefly
to the readers]of the Morning News as one
who, under the cheap guise of philanthro
py, made a fanatical war upon the South
ern people. In common with Horace
Greely, Summer and old John Brown, it
was the one purpose of his life to degrade
the white man to the level of the negro.
He was the bitter and unrelenting foe of
the South, and under the specious plea of
abolishing slavery, did all he could to
place the white men of this section in a
bondage more galling than death. The
only attribute of statesmanship to which
he could lay claim was the energy that
arises from the crude and cruel fanaticism
that characterizes the leading men of
New England, and he will be remember
ed chiefly as one who attempted to strike
the chains of slavery from the African
only to place them upon men of his own
race and clime. We have in mind the
old motto, but the truth can hurt no one,
least of all the dead.”
A London Times correspondent’states
that the Czar has given a young Jew,
named Frebmann, a commission in the
Russian Army. Frebmann is the first
Jew who has ever attained the position
of office.
