Washington, I). C., July 27, 1878. Thursday was the second day of Mr. Pol tor's Committee at Atlantic City and the last day of'the sub-com mittee at New Orleans. It was the most memorable day since the com mittee was organized. At New Or leans Major Burke testified that in the time preceding March 4, 1877, he was tho authorized agent at Wash ington of Gov. Nicholls, of Louisiana Ife gives in detail the bargaining he had with Matthew's, Foster, Sher man and Dennison, four Ohio friends of Hayes and the endorsement of bargaining prior to March 4, by Hayes himself, by which Packard was to be abandoned and two Demo cratic Senators from Louisiana to bo secured in consideration of Burke and his friends using their influence to secure the inauguration of flayts Important as this is, in that it is indisputable proof of a’corrnpt bar gain on the paitbf Hayes for tho Presidency, I consider tho develop ments at Atlantic City of greater real moment. The Republican Visiting Statesmen, including Sherman, Kel ley and''Garfield, used up Wednesday in swearing to their pious and suc cessful c Aorta to bo virtuous in New Orleans. Ou Thursday morning Sherman took the Gaud again, and repeated the same sickening story of virgin purity in his and his associ ates’conduct.' But during bis testi mony there came out two of the most remarkable letters never writ ten. The first is from Sherman to Hayes, the former being in New Or leans aud the latter at bis boiuc im OiliF--- They wore written while (be ■’lrtnrnuL *p u votes. Up to that time Sherman had not written Hayes, as nothing ho did not feel competent to uudtr take had so far occurred. But when tho count bad proceeded far enough and 1 Democratic votes enough had been thrown out, as was supposed, to elect the Hayes electors, it was discovered that two of those electors had been lift off the ticket in vari ous parishes aud inn fur behind the rest of the ticket. Further throwing out, altogether unprovided for, would be necessary if those two electors were to be counted iu. It was then that Sherman, the coldest blooded man living, the most un scrupulous and the b ddest of politi cians, became frightened and wrote to his principal. The previous job, wicked as it. was, had been foreseen and provided for. The calculations had been made and the work com pleted. The letter of Sherman was written immediately on discovering the new danger, aud is at once an argument to quiet his own conscience and that of Hayes in tho perpetra tion of the new villainy, and a whin ing suggestion that Hayes’ approval is needed before the work is com menced. That approval came promptly and may be summarized as follows: “I appreciate the situation and the work you have to do. On a fair vote I should have had 40 elec toral votes in the South. Go on with the job. Be honest.” These are the letters of an un scrupulous but frightened rogue, and an unscrupulous, ambitious aud weak man. They are more eloquent of fraud than all tho positive testi mony that could bo piled in the space between Louisiana and Ohio. Senator Burnside is over in West Virginia at one of the delightful summer resorts in that unconstitu tional State, figuring away at army re-organiz ition. If he and those who sympathize wi ii him wished to reduce the army, what a proper man he would be for a leader. How whole brigades would melt out at sight, and the army become a “skele ton” army in a sense not thought of by those who now call it so. But happily Burnside can barm the gal lant body now only by adding to the confusion that exists within it. He cannot hurl it as of old against other troops imprcguably intrenched and just as brave. By an unhappy oversight during the last days of Congress, a bill was passed which practically removes ail restrictions as to fees of claim agents iu pension cases, and turns over to the tender mercies of unscrupulous men the di abled soldiers and their widows aud orphans who seek the benefit of the pension laws. This shows the folly of attempting legisla tion in the hurry of a closing session. Congress intend, and the exact opposite of what it did. The first work of the GAINESVILLE, GA., FRIDAY MORNING. AUGUST b. 1878. j next session sbould'be to restore tl o old law, which was entirely safe and was satisfactory’ to all parties*- <, Don. >acoocliee Valley. M e clip the following from the Chronicle and: Constitutionalist, of a re cent date: “The graphic letter from Clarkesville, Ga ,to the Boston Ad or User, signed “G. R. 5.,” and re produced in the Chronicle & Constitu tionalist, was read, I am sure, with much pleasure by the mass of your readers. As containing the impres sions of an intelligent and traveled Northern gentleman in regard to the climate, soil aud scenery of the mountain stefiou of our Statf, it pos sesses uuusual interest.. Mr. S. characterizes the climate as superior to that of the Adirondaeks or tho White Mountains; some of the moun tain views, he says, are finer than anil he has beheld elsewhere in this country; whilst in ‘grandeur and picturesque wildness” the gra'nd chasm at Tallulah ‘surpasses any thing he has ever before seen.’ That ‘there is nothing in Swifz aland, the Tyrol or New Hampshire of the pe culitr character of this Fall.’ Tuis is certainly high praise; but any one who has visited Tallulah, and looked upon its titauie scenery will readily believe that it is deserved. There is one feature of the scenery of North east Georgia, however, that Mr. S says ‘has au extensive local roputa lion,’ which he thinks, ‘unlike Tal lid .h, is not particularly well deser ved.’ He is evidently somewhat dis appointed in Nacoochee Valley. The writer, who has spent days at a time in this valley, with a delighted appre ciation of its charms, can but think that lie must have seen it under un favorable conditions. If, for instance he saw it under the glare and blaze of a mid-day sun with no floating clouds to soften and mitigate its rays; or if, as is not improbable, he visited it when the grain was matured arid harvested, and the grass aud clover mown, I can understand how he might not have particularly admired Nacoochee. Few landscapes, indeed are so beautiful as not to suffer se riously under such severe tests. I have myself seen Nacoochee under circumstances such as described, when it appeared almost common place. Bub I have looked upon it again, in certain conditions of the at mosphere, with clouds casting their lights and shadows over the val|ey and the surrounding mountains, when to my eye, it was surpassingly lovely. But Nacoochee is seen at its best, as the sun is setting with clouds of brilliant and ever changing hues crowniDg the western mountains; '•nd as tbo mellowing, softening in fluenco of approachiug twilight de- valley. 1 TTTtoy * uf\Rr Vr ou , CJ? * l v S. (who, I believe, is still * 'fi/' au. up county), the writer would recom mend him to visit tho ‘Evening Star’ again; and should he have the good fortune to see her as I have S9eu her, arrayed ami surrounded by Nature’s brightest and fairest adornments, it is believed he will pronounce her scarce inferior, if not quite equal to the most famous Mohawk and Con necticut Valleys.”' Solid Thunks ol‘ I’liilosophy. “Gem len,” said Brother Gardner, as he rose up and placed his hands on a copy of “Tne Great Orators of Madagascar”—“gem’len, de ole wo man war out to deliber de washin’ de odder night, and I drapped over to sec do Widder Johnsing for’a few miuits.

In marked contrast to the ridicu lous obituary versos, sometimes gen uine and sometimes spurious, that go the rounds of the press, is the follow ing really touching little poem, which we clip from the Detroit Frea Press: A lily broken by the rain, Before a single e wthly stain Has on its velvet whiteness lain; A snowy bird that close caressed By the soft, brooding mother breast, Dares yet forsake the sheltering rest, And straight, before its silver wings Have ever stoop and to baser things, Flies up to heaven, and Hying sings. These and all other pure and mild And lovely objects umletUed, Are types of wuat thou my child ! ,Tho ‘‘Organ;/ d.” . Wo call the especial attention of those of our Democratic friends who do not readily see the dangers o the Independent movement and its cer tain results to the subjoined ringing editorial, from that sound and solid Democratic journal, the Savannah News. ■ Our c mtemporary might also have added that in Memphis, Tenn , the last one of the Independents has formally joined the National Party* Here is the article: “It is not uncommon to sea iu the Independent organs of this and oth er States remarks in the nature of sneers at “the organizid.” Snch re marks are not ouly ungrateful, but ip very bad taste. What is it that is meant by the term “the oiganized?” Simply the Democratic party, and we would in fer from the remarks of these or gans that they considered it unpatri otic and blameworthy 10 be c’iaieflel with the only organization to which we are this day indebted for freedom of speech and the blessings of home rule in the South. Suppose that, in the days of carpet bag rule iu Georgia, when alien en emies and political adventurers with United States bayonets aud venal United Stales Marshals at their backs carried matters with a high baud, the Democratic party had not been “organized Y” Suppose when these men plundered the Treasury and recklessly involved the tax-pay ers of our State in debt in order that they might fill their carpet-bags with iil-gotteu gains and retire to the.'r Northern homes flushed with wealth wrung from the h ml earnings of our people, there had not baa l union and harmony in Democratic ranks? Suppose that then tho disorganize tion and independence, falsely so called, which these organs now so strenuously advocate, bad prevailed in the ranks of the people of the State, and continued to the present day; \vhat would Lie our condition now ? The answer is plain. Oar enemies aud plunderers would still bo holding high carnival amongst us. Our people would still be hopelessly involved in the toils of poverty and debt, our State would still be, in all probability, the plaything and prey of unprincipled Radical adventurers and thieves. Instead of having en joyed for rnauy years the blessings of freedom and prosperity, we would be even now ground down to the dust, and instead of our State bonds com manding a premium, we would be bankrupt and our credit would be hopelessly destroyed.

Those who imagine that because Georgia is now strongly Democratic that neces sit.y no longer exists, are greatly mis taken. A great deal* depends upon the political complexion of the next House. Tho Radicals are making strenuous efforts to capture it, and if they should succeed, it will be their hirst step towards establishing a one man power under Grant. Tney know that Grant, as a Presidential candidate, cannot bo elected by the people. They trust, however, that with three tickets in the field-—the Democrats, the Radicals, and the Nationals—tho election will be thrown into the House, and i } that House be Radical, Grant will bo the next and in all probability the last President the social system by producing nure of one class of laborers than is called for, and diminishing the production of another, the consequence is disor der, disappointment and misery. Tho State itself trains its children for a department of service in which only a small part of them c m be em ployed. It disqualifies a large part of its children for that service in which they are largely required. This makes misery. There is no sphere of honest labor that is not re-pectable. And if the children of the people are not forced by hot-house education in o seeking employment iu spheres which are thought to be more genteel than such as are called menial, thousands who are now struggling or starving for want of adequate employment would be earning a sure and respec tab:' support iu an honest employ ment. Grant In Fit rope. John Russell Young, whom Gree ley discharged from the 'Tribune for dishonesty, is in Europe with Grant —employed to travel with him—to aid in grooming him for a Presiden tial candidate for a third term —to write Ins speeches for him, and then send them to the New York Herald The Pennsylvania Rings are support ing this job, and they are fitting Grant for 1880. The investment will pay them richly if they can make it successful, and the United States Treasury will bear the burden. Grant made a speech at Hamburg ou the 4th of July, where he was en tertained. Young has sent the speech to the Herald. Everybody in this couutry knows that Grant never wrote aDV such speech. In it Young, for Grant, states that he (Grant) takes no credit for saving the Union —that if he had fallen there were 10,000 others as cvpable of carrying tho armies to victory. Ha gives | credit to the young men of tho couu -1 try w r ho fought the battles. All this !is true enough. Grant was by no means the ablest General. He seemed to c ire no more for 10,000 human lives than if the men were so many leaves of the forest. His vic tories were dearly won, and with an abler commander-in-chief they could have bee,n won with much less losi of life. Labor Liberia. News and Courier pt the 27th, its Li berian correspondent, Mr. A. B. Wil liams, describes the labor situation there as follows: It may be more of ;he “sarcasm of fat -,” but exactly the state of affairs exists here now as I imagine made slave labor necessaj/ iu America. That is, every mm js a landholder, an owner and an- --qwil. No lower classes have yet come in to do the manual work. There servants, and servants are a except in an imaginative jujJPliss’ Utopia A few of the poorer I< beriaus hire out, but they are, a* good as their hirers, and consi' ( t' ie utly matters don’t work smooth!/ ' All such “ser vants” are addr.

It if amps fearfully the sugar much anil cheap labor is sable at times. So, disguise it as Lpqy will the Libe- rians nave 10 ucpauu ou siave lauor, at last, for it c irnff) to that. They hire from a native king a certain number of his superstition-bound slaves for so muifi rum, so many brass kettles, iron * bars and guns, and so much calieonaid to him. The “hands” work well and are faithful anil obedient until the king, through caprice or having j beeu paid, aud wanting them to cult rice, semis or ders *0 them to v me back.

There are some comparatively free natives who hire cheaply, but they are unreliable and ft-pt to “knock off’’ and go at any time- You can pick up a few always, enough to man your canoe or do odd Dbq and if you treat them kindly, juey will hire out .to you again, and do any kind of work They cannot bo depended upon in any numbar, however. aii££ J al ’ e abjectly afraid of maa > having an quaed tb^ ea from the . . . .i|not only an it*-*. x -’U.vA rti on' 'tfcfoajp-; 1; "!*'•■ •j'&JKwil months*’ *pL acquaintance fh%aff■ reconciled to the Caucasian.'

Such things make me weep when I think that Wendell Phillips was not there. The Gay Gondoliers. Poets and romancers have given the gondolier the character of a gay aud airy specimen of humanity, w T ho does nothing but laugh and sing and overlliw with animal spirits, a kind of a troubadour, who keeps time with his oar, and plays with it as if it were the strings of a guitar. But they are in reality the hack drivers of Venice, aud they are generally just about as jovial and good-natured as the gentleman who can be found on Barnum’s corner. They are by law only allowed to charge twenty cents for the use of their vehicles, unless there are two gondoliers, and then it is forty cents per hour. The price is so shamefully low that visitors, espe cially Amermans, cheerfully give double these rates, and they make themselves very obliging and accom modating to strangers for this reason. There are thousands of gondolas constantly in motion for business or pleasure, and they have their regular stand- 1 , the same as the hackmeu have with us. There are a great miny private families that keep their own gondolas, which cau be seen em erging from some of the small canals as soon as the sun goes below the Grand Canal, with the ladies and children iu them, and a gayly attired gondolier plying the oar. The law requires all these craft to bs painted black, but the private ones are richly ornamented with gay curtains and plaited standards. The dress of the private gondolier is usually white, trimmed with green, blue or yellow, wearing silk sashes, and a straw hat with fl iwing ribbon. The dress of the regular gondolier is also pre scribed by law—white, with blue sash ane trimmings, but most of them disregard thi-> requirement, and ap pear in ordinary attire. There are also omnibus gondolas, carrying from six to twelve p -rsons, with three or four gondoliers. Tho price upon these is about five cents per hour for each person. Small steamers run hourly to tho outer is lands, at which bathing establish ments are located.— Halt. American, Educating: too Much. Prof. Monier Williams, in his book on “Modem India aud the Indians,’’ gives a hint in regard to popular education that we iu the United States might take, if it not be too late. He cautions against too much education, as tending -to reuder young men unwilling, if not unfit, to pursue the trades of their fathers. He holds that offering to all children au a Lanced education tempts them to seek their livelihood by some other tbau manual employments, and so disturbs the working of the natural law of supply and demand. You enforce upon the labor market a host of educated men for whom there is uothiug to do, and von de prive the country of workmen greally needed. In this country we see the influ ence of this sytara in such results. Our public schools now give to the children of the poor, and to the great middle class, an education that includes ornamental and many other branches. Children who have had a course of lessons in these studies are not willing to go from school to making baskets or brogans. And they can find nothing to do in the line of business for which they r are now fitted. They want situations in stores, banks, or professions. These places are tilled. There is no de maud for clerks or lawyers. The supply is greater than the demand. If an advertisement calls for a yonng man to fill a situation in an office or store, a troop answers the call. But in vain is the search for ap prentices to a trade. No one wants to work who can get his living by his wits. If parents educate children at 1 heir own expense, and then cannot find congenial employment for them, the fault is with tfie parents. But if the State, at the expense of the tax payers, supports a system of edn oation that destroys tho balance of of the United States. It does not require a mind of very deep research to appreciate the ne cessity of party unity and harmony under these circumstances. There will bo needed in the lower House of the f n ty-sixth Congress, to be chosen this fall, of pure, uncompromising Democrats —men under no obliga tion to Radicals for their election, and who can, therefore, under all circumstances, bo relied ou to vote for and uphold Democratic meas ures. Now, as much as ever, there fore, party unity, which means uarty strength, should be the one thing to be determined on. Let tho voters of this State and the South at large, whenever they read sneers and jeers at “tbe organized’’ or “the Bourbon Democracy,” ponder seriously over these things.

There her husband awrfiffed her. Two villians followed. iut<> the car, probably attracted by tifff .valuable jewelry she wore, and when the con ductor approached the lady for tick ets informed him that they were her friends, that she was deranged, and that thev had unfortunately been selected to convey her to the Utica Asylum. In spite ot her protesta tions and appeals for protection, the scoundrels succeeded iu convincing the conductor and passengers of the truth of their story and removed the lady from the cars at Utica, she swooning as the train moved away.

A.Russian officer and his wife were quartered in the house of a Greek merchant named Youannou. One day the Greek’s wile entered the room occupied by the Russian lady, and was about removing a white ta ble-cloth for the purpose of having it washed. The officer's wife objected to the table-cloth being laken away. Thereupon they quarreled, one speak ing in Greek the other in Russian, neither understanding a word ol the other’s language. There was a strug gle for the possession of the table cloth, and the Greek lady was about gaining the day, when the Russian lady rushed from the laoru and com plained to her husband that sUe had been assaulted.

Ho was told that his wife had insulted the Russian lady, but that if an ;• oology were offered it would be accepted. The apology was at once given by Youannou, who wisely lhought.it, was the best course he could adopt to re store tranquility to his household. The Autocrat of (he Sanctum.

Its inventor has organized a company, with a capital of §19,030,000, one eighth of which is already subscribed, to manufacture the motor in New York, and it is proposed to store it in huge central reservoirs and conduct it in pipes wherever it is wanted. If it accomplishes half that is claimed for it, it will be as much an improvement on steam as that was on horse and waterpower, but the public will be incredulous till it sees the proof.— Augusta Chronicle & Constitutionalist ,
