Cenana return* ibdioete a very lnrg
increase in the population of the South

thirty per cent in the J*hl d< oedt*
The anoceee of Hr. Tenner wna a great
source of consolation to tboae of c who
ere obliged to wait until the pf a crop
comes in*
The leal veatigeof iho republican par
ty at the South will peri h this fall. It
cannot exiat without food from ith allien
at the north, and this ban been denied.
The democratic majority aUhe election
in Alabama last week, over the combined
independent and republican ticket, will
loach the neighborhood of aevauty live
thousand.
The indications are iLat the comma will
►how on increase of thirty per coot, in
•he popolatioo of tleorgia during, the I ud
decode. Ketorna from forty eight coun
ties show an average increase somewhat
greeter than tide.
The potato crop ia about ripe in Ireland
end tho famine there ia about at an end.
Appropriate legislation would do much to
provent its reappearance, and it ia hop* and
that the ant ject will engage tho humane
attention of the English government at
an early day.
President Hayes and bis entire Cabinet'
have taken the stump for Garfield and-•
oivii service reform. They Ream to have
concluded that tho party ia not strong
enough to indulge in experiments. Tho
cnanDguincd rag baa done the party too
much good service to bo abandoned ut a
trying moment.
The persons boom whs started in Tal
hot enmity UhL week. Persona delegates
were elected by a *le nor,ratio mans meet
ing. If nominated Talbot county will
give him a majority of two thousand
against any man in the field. And it looka
now very much an if h!io would have the
pleannre of giving her favored son this
majority in November.

Next Saturday the Demomata of liar*
ris county will elect representatives to a
convention to assemble in Hamilton on
the Tnetfday following, f>r the purpose of
seine ing a delegation to attond the tie in
o'ratio convention of the fourth congres
sional district which assemble* at Li*
Grange on tho 2Mb inli*nt.
Three able gantlenien have announced
thetrsetves ae candidates for tho demo
nratto nomination.
This is rig’t. The offico has novor
sought a man, within onr knowledge, and
found an able officer. Put a man in a
place that he docs not want, and bo will
not fill it near an ably or natiHfaotorily hr a
innn tqually well qual.ficd who docs want
the place.
In thin county only two of these candi
date have appeared. Hutwei-n them lira
the contest for the vote of Harris conniy
conveu•ion. We have the highest rt-gaid
for Mr. Cox, one of the able gentlemen
who asks for our vote. Ho is a man * f
great ability and worth. Hut in his oppo
nent our prtseut worthy and faithful rep
resentaUve, we, perhaps in the partiality
of a lifo-tiiiio 4riendship,recognize his su*
pertor.
The ability of Captain Persons is great
ly underrated by those who have only a
dir lit I acquaintance with him, because of
bis possession jf that happy faculty of
adaptability which makes him at home iu
all company. He is in thi* onr bean ideal
d* roocrat. Hut the man who findH him
perfectly at ease conversing with a bevy
of unlettered countrymen, i more apt to
underrate the standing of the man, than
to recognize in it the genius of his diapo
sition.
Hut it is only to the casual acquaintance
that he may appear sopeiflcinl. His wri
tings' show the man of learning, and his
work ahowN tho man of ability.
His raco two yearn since,Hguinat nn able
op| orient, whose six years faithful and
efficient service aeeuied to have fortified
him almost iinprcgnab y in the heart! of
tho people and in his * ffice, was a marvel
of success. A canvass of three weeks
above the mountains, by a man who
went there almost an enliro stranger,
worked a oomph to revolution.
With only half of his term of office ex
pired, following as ho did an able repre
sentative who lift n > stone unturned that
would possibly benefit bis constituency,
the* ability of Mr. Persons and bis untir
ing energy are seen already throughout
the district in the incre iaed mail facilities
Living off of A railroad himself,
bo appreciates Ihe neceasities of the peo
ple in thiH rnutler ui and tiio woik ho has
done in facilitating the distribution of the
mails, whether be goes hack to oongreMS
nr not, will remain n uionumont to Ins eu
orgy nnd an inmost of his zeal in the
ealiae of eduoalion. For to moronae the
mail fae.ilitiea of A community is to in
crease its facilities ol information, and to
increase ihene is iipiiVHlent to increasing
ihe knowledge of tho people ihemaelvea.
Am a member of tho Agricultural Com
mlttee Captain I’ernoi a baa done his full
du'y. In i-thor fields he mi/.hr. have
mado a wider reputation for himself, ltut
lie is a man who lookH to reanlta. Frac
tion! himself, he.works for remits of prac
tical utility. While he U imbued wiih h
noble patriotiam that ri Aches from the
Atlantio to the i'acitio, lio hat labored
more especially tor the people of ttie
Fourth Gopgreasioual District.
While we would tin lor no cironmatan
eoa proscribe A tnyn heouuse of liis pro
fotaioii, we mii-t ut tho some lima teeog
n'xe Ihe importance of claaa ropreaenta
tion in an asaemb'y which oonatdorAinter
eila ue diverse as Iht bo which come ho
forc au American CougrcsH. And when n
man of the iutigrity, atolity nnd learning
of Captelu Persona, preaanta himself be
fo>e the people asking their suffrage, we
tbit h it is certainly a point in liis favor,
that be is en agriculturist. Kspeeiully is
this to lu. considered when wo letm-mber
tha' while largely more than one half of
the people of whole countiy nro agrienl
tnri <ts, only n niuhll pcrc ntage of their
ropr snitftivoa in CongresH bto. It may
he urged that ibo very numerlo.ri strength
of this elrtKh is guarantee agaio-t any
enciosaliKieuts of its rights, and perhaps
it ia, but It is well enough to have a few
of Ibis ulaas advotate its interests, lot
our position on this point ho fnl'y under
stood. We Are not opposed to either of
thegeutlemen brosn-• of his profusion.
We aay Oaptain IYimib ia aa al.le, as
honest and aa faithful aaeilher of h;s op
pouenta, and because of bis life-time ex
perience as all agriculturist, is better fit
ted to reprosout this district*
From Ihe Above we suppose it will be
understood that we nro in favor, of scud
iug delegates from Harris county to Lt-
Grango who favor the nomination of Per
sons. We care not whether they go thus
instruotid or not. Give u men who fa
vor his nomination, without instructions
rather than men who and > not favor him
bonuit with h Htrooß Person* rnaotntions
as tho p u can write* We would like to
moo llama align herself with Talbot, Ma
rion, Ch attain ooliea, Mtucojiw, Meri
wether, Douglass and Carroll bridging the
bloody chasm nnd we believe she will.
