The St. Louis Convention.*
This great representative Laxly of the De
mocracy of the entire nation, which meets
on the 27th of June, will number 738 mem
bers. Quite a litttc army, or at least a regi
ment of politicians. Of the delegates, 226
will come from the Eastern States, 212 from
the Western States, 276 from the Southern
States and 24 from the Pacific.
Under the two thirds rule 402 votes will
be necessary to a nomination, and of these
the South and West, if united, could furnish
488, or only four short of the requisite num
ber. This evinces the great power of those
sections, if they will but act harmoniously
and in concert. From present appearances
Ohio will be the disturbing clement, unless
when Gov. Allen and his friends perceive
that outside of their own State the former
has no following, they should consent to
waive their currency views, and unite with
the mass of the party for the defeat of the
Radicals.
That is the grand consideration that ranks
every other, and the only hope of renewed
prosperity to the country. In this view of
the case, heavy indeed will be the responsi
bility of those who, by their intrigues and
cabals, succeed in destroying the unity of
the National Democratic organization. But
is there not sufficient patriotism in the party
to prevent this catastrophe ? We hope so.
Colquitt a Universal Favorite—No Dark
House in This Contest.
Advices from every section of the State, re
marks the Augusta Constitutionalist , justify
us in saying that General Colquitt is a long
way ahead of all other candidates. In spite
of determined efforts to manufacture local
opinion in favor of other men, where little or
none exists, it is evident that the people are
even now ready and disposed to take judg
ment in his favor against all rings that would
divert them from the man of their choice. If
Richmond county is a fair sample of the
strength of the different candidates through
out the State, the friends of Colquitt need no
further assurance of his triumphant nomina
tion whenever the State Convention meets,
lie is the favorite here, and in advocating him
we expressed the real sentiments of our peo
ple who cannot be draggooned against their
will into the support of any candidate by
cries of “ ring rule” and “ snap judgments.’*
Protection of Rice.
The clamors for “protection” from the South
are so ill-advised, needless and dangerous
that we dislike very much to hear them, says
the Macon Teletjraph Messenger. If there
is one policy traditionally dear to our people,
it is that of free markets and as near abso
lutely open ports as possible. Revenue ob
tained by levying duties on foreign goods is
so insidious, uncertain and fluctuating—so
unfair in its practical operations on classes
and sections that all leading Southern minds
have inclined to discourage the system as
much as possible from the earliest periods of
our Federal history.
In this matter of protection from free Ha
waiian rice, it seems to us a molehill has been
elevated to a mountain. The total produce
exports of the whole group of islands is not
greatly in excess of a million dollars, of which
rice forms but a part, and the population and
agricultural area of the islands is very small.
On the other hand, whatever may be the
capacity of our coast rice-swamps, we have a
literally illimitable area of upland which will
produce thirty bushels of rice to the acre, at
no greater cost than corn. Rough rice at
seventy-five cents a bushel ought to be a good
crop from Middle Georgia, Alaliama and Mis
sissippi down to the Gulf, and instead of re
ceiving rice from across the Pacific and the
continent, it ought to be, to its weight and
nutritive and expansive properties, the cheap
est article of food produced in America.
Crop Prospects in Tennessee.
Crop prospects in almost ever}' section ap
pear to be looking as favorably as could pos
sibly be wished, though throughoutthe South
west there is more or less complaint of a
lack of rain. Corn and cotton are both suf
fering from this cause, particularly in Texas.
In some portions of that State the inevitable
chiuch bug has made its appearance. From
the Northwest the information is favorable,
if we except some reports from Northern
Illinois and lowa, where it is said but little
small grain is in sight yet. In the Middle
States the prevalence of unseasonabty cold
weather is a drawback ;so far, however, it
has not been attended with any very serious
results. Tobacco excepted, the prospects
in our own State were never more favorable
than at present.— Nash. American, 24 th ult.
Take a Newspaper Rather than Whip
Your Wife in Texas.
In the State case against Lewis for whip
ping his wife, the defendant was fined $lOO,
which he is paying in jail. If he had taken
the Montague News , that paper tells us, and
read it in his moments of idleness, the devil
would not have tempted him to chastise his
better half. Just in this instance two dol
-1 u*s judiciously spent for his county paper
might have saved him over $lOO. It is hard
to imagine what the devil will not put into
the idle brain of a man who will not take a
count\ r paper and pay for it.
Bullock says he has several “ private in
terests” in Georgia.
THE PRESIDENTIAL ELECTION.
A reporter of the New York Herald has
interviewed cx-Gov. Dix on the political sit
uation. One portion of the ex-Governor’s
conversation is worthy of remark. Speaking
of a third party movement he said :
Mr. Tilden would not be strong before the
country. He is only known in connection
with the paper fights against the Rings; but,
unlike the comparative privacy of Pierce and
Polk, his non-prominence will not be an ele
ment of strength, because of late his support
ers have made considerable noise about him.
I don’t pay much heed to the Tilden and
Bristow suggestion from Washington. Mr.
Bristow is a very young man and a strong
Republican. I should doubt the feasibility
of securing him on that ticket. Mr. Tilden
is not known at the South at all, and at the
West he is known as a hard money man. Of
course he will not satisfy the West. No
hard money’ man can hope to please the in
flationists, and on that rock it is quite prob
able the party will split. It is said that the
third party movement would derive its
strength from the Republican voters, but look
at it a moment. Suppose Mr. Tilden fails to
get the St. Louis nomination and the infla
tionists succeed in hoisting the name of Bill
Allen, would the hard money men support
that ticket ? Of course they wouldn't. The}'
would meet and nominate another. That
would make three tickets in the field.
Reporter—And that means—
General Dix—And that means that the
election would be thrown into the House of
Representatives, no choice being made by
the people. This is not only possible, but
probable. Bill Allen is an able man, ordi
narily speaking. He was in the Senate with
me in 1845-6-7—oh ! I guess twelve y’ears. I
knew him very well, and think highly of him.
He was a regular Benton hard money man
then, and thought nothing was money but
gold and silver. I can’t understand his
change of base at all. Now, if he were to be
nominated, it would make no difference who
was second on the ticket, nor what the plat
form was, there would be a split and a third
ticket.
Commenting on the above named inter
view, the Augusta Chronicle tS’- Sentinel says—
The twelfth amendment to the Constitution
of the United States provides that unless a
candidate for the Presidency receives a ma
jority of all the votes cast, the election shall
be thrown into the House of Representatives.
Governor Dix believes that if the Democrats
have two candidates in the field—represent
ing the Hard Money and Soft Money factions
—and the Republicans one, neither of the
three will obtain a majorky of all the electo
rial votes cast, and the election will have to
be determined by the House of Representa
tives. As the Democrats have a large ma
jority in the House of Representatives, such
a contingency would render the election of
a Democrat to the Presidency a certainty.
We understand that somewhat similar views
are entertained by other veteran politicians.
We sincerely hope that if we should be so
unfortunate as to have a bolt at St. Louis
the issue will be as favorable as Governor
Dix imagines.
Gen. Phil Cook
Is one of the most genial gentlemen in the
world, and has a rich vein of humor running
from top to toe. Col. Waddell, of the Times,
was in Washington a few day’s ago. and en
joyed a little of the General’s wit—reported
as follows in his paper :
“ The other night at Washington, the ap
propriation bill on naval affairs was under
consideration. Mr. Blount, of Georgia—a
most useful and industrious member of the
Committee—had the bill in charge. Among
others, there was a provision in it to appro
priate raonoy to establish a naval rendezvous
at Tybec or Cock-Spur Island. Geu. Banks
thought he saw a ‘cat in the meal tub/ and
that a lick was meant to be struck at the navy
yard at Charlestown, Mass., and that its ex
istence was endangered, lie made an able
and patriotic speech against the recommenda
tion of the committee, and towards the con
clusion of his admirable speech, waxing elo
quent, he said, “a strike at the Charlestown
navy yards, sir, is a stroke at Bunker Hill
Monument—beneath whose shadow the navy
yard lies. And what sacreligious hand would
tear one stone from that monument in this
Centennial year ?” The speech—the best one
of its length we heard—created a decided im
pression. General Phil Cook, of Georgia,
who ardently favored the Committee’s report,
was the first to approach General Banks to
congratulate him. Grasping his hand warmly,
he said : “ General Banks, you have made a
splendid speech; I have listened to it with
delight; let me say' to you, sir, that we Geor
gians have no wish to disturb one single stone
of Bunker Hill Monument. It is the only’
one which was erected to perpetuate the mem
ory of a defeat of American valor; but, sir,
I tell you farther, that when you attempt to
tear up Cock-Spur Island by the roots, you
must cross over my dead body’!” Of course,
a roar followed.
To a proper appreciation of the above “ lit
tle joke,” it must be borne in mind that the
expression, “ Must cross over my dead body,”
is about the identical language used by
“Beast” F. Butler, in a speech made at the
Charleston Convention of 1860, and which
caused some of the Georgia “ boys” to throw
up their hats for him. Asa democrat and
professed friend of the South, he there made
the declaration that the “ North” would have
to “ cross over his dead body” in the attempt
to subjugate the South. History proves the
sequel. But then, he was not the only Ijock
si ider.
Remarkable Escape.
From the Gwinnett Herald we learn that a
number of people were going home from
church a week or so ago, in that count) 7 ;
among others was a Rev. Mr. Webb and
another gentleman in a buggy, and behind
them was a man riding a mule. As the par
ty were chatting along, not dreaming of dan
ger, a buggy suddenly dashed up behind
them, and the mule in the rear, with one
bound, jumped over the hind axle of the bug
gy and landed between the wheels and the
body ; his weight against the wheels turned
the buggy over, and the mule and its rider,
Mr. Webb and his companion, were all piled
up in a heap in the road. There was a gen
eral scuffling around to see who could get up
first, and Mr. Webb, having fortunately land
ed on top of the mule, was the first to get up,
and in a minute all v including the mule,
were on their feet, and nobody hurt.
Newspaper Ethics.
The following, from the Columbns Enquir
er, has so much of “ common sense” in it—so
much “ more truth than poetry”—and is so
just a rebuke to the “ strain at a gnat and
swallow a camel” policy of some people, that
we are constrained to give it a place, simply
that he who “ runs may read” and make up
his opinion as to what is right and what is
wrong, so far as this “ phase” of “ ethics” is
concerned. We care nothing about Tilden or
his “quoted matter”—are 110 apologist for
him in any shape or form ; but if he wants to
be brought into notice and is willing to pay
for it, we see no more harm in publishing
something in his favor than in publishing
certificates of some Yankee patent medicine
or some other lmmbuggery equally thin and
transparent:
About Newspaper Ethics.—A great deal
has been said about it. The true system is
that a newspaper proprietor can manage his
own business to suit himself. lie does not
enter the craft for fun, but to make a liveli
hood and make money If he can—to manage
his journal as he would any private business
—to lead public opinion, if he can ; if not, to
follow—for public opinion, as a rule, unless
swayed by extraordinary passions, is correct.
The people are led. Now, much hue anti cry’
has been raised against the Tilden luireau
for sending out extracts favorable to Tilden
for publication. It is not asked that they be
inserted free, but as advertising in reading
matter to be paid for. It is the purest busi
ness transaction in the world. It is no more
than the frequent cards we see signed “Many
Citizens,” “Populus,” “Hosts of Friends,”
favoring A, B, C, for Sheriff, Constable, Con
gress, &c., for all of which a first-class journal
demands pay. The bureau, if there bo such
a thing, does not ask insertions in editorial
columns; an editor can dissent if he chooses.
The only thing required for a certain amount
is to insert certain articles, extracts from oth
er papers, as paid advertisements. Where
lias newspaper ethics got anything to do with
the matter. They r can insert opinions ofTom,
Dick, Harry & Cos., but not of an influential
journal. They could publish proclamations
of Bullock, when they knew he was robbin"
the State, and make enormous bills therefor,
but it is a violation of newspaper ethics to
insert as reading matter an extract from the
Courier-Journal, Richmond Dispatch, and oth
er leading journals, as reading matter, if of
fered pay. Puff a candidate for a county or
State office as much as you please, but you
violate the ethics when you dare insert a paid
paragraph for a Presidential candidate from
a bureau. In the one case you are helping
to manufacture public opinion and in the oth
er likewise, but the former is wrong, say the
“ ultraites” ; though both amount to the same
thing. Fudge for such ethics. It may sound
grandiloquent in words, but is not worth a
tlirip in practice. Manage ymur business mat
ters as any' other business—that’s sensible
f
ethics, and no matter what they say is the
kind practiced.
Ten Years of Faithful Love.
Ten years ago, a young man was sent to
the penitentiary from Marshall county, lowa.
He was engaged to a worthy young woman,
and when he went to prison she made the
journey with him. lie was intoxicated when
the crime was committed, and otherwise would
not have committed it. The woman has kept
her faith through all these years. She has
regularly visited him, and for the past few
years, has made constant efforts to procure
his release ; but the Executive has turned a
deaf ear to her entreaties, until a short time
ago, she appealed to Gov. Kirkwood with such
devoted zeal, that he granted her request, and,
with the pardon in her possession, she hasten
ed to the penitentiary and presented her pa
pers. The prison doors swung open, and
leaning on the arm of him she had lost and
won, she made her exit, a happy smile wreath
ing her face. Chaplain Williams courteously
tendered his services to complete the fruition
of their hopes ; but the patient maiden repli
ed that, after ten years’ waiting, a few hours’
delay could be endured, so that her friends
might share with her the joys of love's labor
won. —Chicago Tribune.
The Governorship About Settled.
It seems to be a foregone conclusion that
Gen. Av 11. Colquitt will be the Democratic
nominee for the next Governor of Georgia,
and per consequence this will make him the
successor to Governor Smith. From all
parts of the State this intelligence is, gather
ed. The chances of Col. Hardeman have
not improved much since the withdrawal of
the name of Gov. Smith from the canvass,
but Colquitt has made decided advances to
the front, and, in our judgment is now cer
tain to receive the nomination. If chosen,
lie will make us a good Governor, one for
whose career none need entertain any mis
givings. He is eminently popular with the
people, and for this reason the tricky politi
cians pay him the most profound respect,
and dare not make war on him. Mr. James,
the Atlanta banker, still proclaims himself a
candidate, and has been visiting about the
country to some extent, trying to keep pace
with Hardeman and Colquitt, who have been
for some time “feeling” the public pulse by
actual contact with the masses. Ret the re
sult of the canvass be what it may we shall
be content to abide the nomination and will
cheerfully labor for the nominee, believing
that Colquitt is destined to be the man.—
Lumpkin Independent.
The Sultan Dethroned.
The great item of foreign news is the de
thronment of the Turkish Sultan, and the
elevation of the heir apparent in his stead.
The first conclusion here , would naturally be
that, as the Sultan, Abdul Assiz, has signa
lized his entire reign by his liberal and
Frankish proclivities, and in that way given
great offence to the old orthodox Turkish
reactionary party, the revolution would nat
urally be unfavorable to the preservation of
peace in the existing crisis. But it is clear
from the Baris and London dispatches, and
the advance in Turkish securities in those
markets, that an opposite view is taken at
those great financial and political centres.

SIDDA 1,1/S
MAGNETIC SOAP.
The Cheapest Soap that can be Used for the
follmeing reasons:
Ist.—One bar will go as far as two of any other.
2d.—Only half the usual rubbing being required,
there is a saving of more than the entire cost
of the Soap in labor alone.
3d.—The clothes are made SWEET, CLEAN and
WHITE without Boiling or Scalding,
thus all injury to them is avoided. There
is a saving in fuel and hard work, and the
washing is done in about half the usual time.
It is also guaranteed under a penalty of fifty
dollars not to injure the clothes or hands, and as
one trial will enable any person to ascertain the
truth of these statements, it would never pay the
proprietor to engage in an extensive system of ad
vertising and claim such decided merit for his
Soap unless he knew from positive experience that
it would prove to be in every respect what is
claimed for it.
This is also a superior Soap for Toilet and Shar
ing purposes.
