Hayes has signed the Arrears of

We will wager a good second-hand
paper collar that Ohio has more first

timber to the square inch than any
other State, Territory or country on

It now seems that Blaine, Conkling,

hang up their presidential aspirations
to dry, at least for a time. The Man
of Destiny is fast crowding them off
the track.
Judge J.D. Walker has been elect

Sooner or later public sentiment
in this country will force the govern

When tho bill to divide the south
ern district of Georgia into two dis
tricts came up for consideration in
congress, Mr. Bell discovered the
name of a county in it that does not
exist in the State. The bill was re
committed.

For over a week there has been a

over the election of United States
senator. Eustis, Kenner and Jones

Ex-President Grant did not wait
for the United States frigate provid

for India in a French vessel. This
thing of refusing a deadhead passage
is somothing foreign to Grant’s ideas,
but it was done in this case with a
view of making capital for the can
vass of 1880.
Tho question now is, shall it be

But then it must be borne in mind
that Mr. Thurman is an Ohio n.
Judge Henry B. Tompkins, of the
Eastern Circuit, has sent in his resig

Another woman thinks she can do

3000 quarter miles in 3000 quarter

iho above feat is being performed an
other is going on. This is a contest
between two men, one of whom is to
walk 2000 half hours in 2000 conse
cutive half hours, and the other 2000
half miles in 2000 consecutive twenty
minutes.
The bill to devote the proceeds of
the sales of public lands to popular
education, came up for discussion in
congress last week and Mr. Bell made
a speech favoring it. This bill pro
poses to divide these proceeds among
the States, and according to the esti
mates of commissioners Georgia’s
share would be about $124,221 a
year. A snug sum, which would go
a long way toward educating the
masses in our State.
Gen. W. T. Sherman, who is on a
Southern tour, arrived in Atlanta on
Wednesday. He was to spend a day
in the Gate City and go thence to
Florida. Gen. Sherman is we should
say something over six feet high,
walks with his head slighly pitched
forward, giving him the appearance
of being slightly stoop shouldered,
complexion fiorid, brown hair, now
deeply mixed with gray, thin face
with long lantern jaws. When
standing his appearance is somewhat
commanding, but when sitting un
|j?repossessing and what the ladies
call homely. We should judge
be about sixty years

A Bartow county grand jury has
gone out of the purview of its auth
ority to take part in the Hill-Murphy
controversy. Last Friday this body
came into court with a long set of
special presentments in which they
discussed the meritß of this contro
versy, and gave their conclusions on
the subject. They sustained Mr. Hill,
acquitted Gov. Colquitt and con
demned Murphy. Judge McCutchen
refused to allow these presentments
recorded, and rightly too, for this is
not a matter that the grand jury had
anything to do with, but belongs al
together to the legislature. We are
glad "their officiousness was re
buked.
Governor Hampton had a visit the
other day from General Kirby Smith
who was wounded at Manassas as
was Hampton also. Both were taken
to the same house. "The surgeons,’>
says the Charleston News, "first ap
proached Gen. Hampton for the pur
pose of dressing his wound, but
though himself suffering great pain
he waived them aside, and, with char
acteristic generosity and thoughtful
ness, directed them to care first for
his brother officer, who, he said, most
needed their attention. The order
was obeyed, and General Hampton
waited patiently and uncomplaining
ly until his friend had been first fully
cared for.”
In the first district Col. W. T
Thompson and Judge W. B. Fleming
are urged for the nomination to
congress by the convention which
meets on the 4th pros. It is stated
that the latter gentleman is mainly
supported by the greenbackers. If
it is proper for any one outside the
district to express their opinion we
would say that the first district
would honor itself and the State by
electing Col. Thompson. He has
claims on the democracy by reason
of his long and intelligent service in
the ranks which entitle him to some
of the rewards that the party have
to bestow. No one would make a
more faithful representative and we
hope to hear that he has been hon
ored.
The New York Evening Post does
not admire Gen. John A. Logan, the
new senator from Illinois. It says
that it is possible in the length and
breadth of that State, a man less fit
for senator might be found, but not
probable, and declares his ignorance
to be both presumptuous and ag
gressive. In his selection the Post
thinks the low and discreditable arts
of a vicious politician have been suc
cessful, and that the unfitness of the
politician who employed them is sim
ply scandulous. And senator Conk
ling, of New York, who is to be his
own successor, the Post thinks is but
little better in "the worst activities
of politics.’ Both these senators and
their critic belong to the radical
persuasion.
Taking all the circumstances into
consideration, we regard the recovery
of Senator Hampton, of South Caro,
lina, from the serious accident that
befell him, nothing but a most Pro
vidential interposition. The pure
character, the proud position, the
boundless influence of Governor
Hampton on the democracy of the
Sonth, the respect entertained for
him by the honorable men of all parts
of this country, give to this gentle
man a power for good second to none
in our country. It will be a day of
earnest and sincere joy to the true
democracy when Governor Hampton
takes his seat in the Federal Senate,
by the side of Thurman, Pendleton,
Bayard, White, Eaton and McDon
ald. How the railroad corporation
jobbers will squirm, for then will
come the days again when high
patriotism, culture and statesmanship
will be the boast of the American
Senate.— Foster's Democrat.
Peace and Unity Restored in the Demo
cratic Wigwam.
A Washington letter to the Phila
delphia Ledger (Rep.) says: "The
true story of the recent phenomenal
fraternization of anti-Tammany May
or Cooper and ‘Boss’ Kelly is just be.
ginning to leak out. It is a long
yarn, but may be told in a few words.
At the democratic caucus, held at
Albany, just before the meeting of
the legislature, the members from
the rural districts spoke with great
plainness npon the never-ending
squabbles of the city democracy,which
were demoralizing if not disrupting
the whole par|y. If the feud between
Tammany and anti-Tammany is to be
kept up, in order to gratify the re
venges of this or that ward politi*
cian, the State, it was contended,
might as well be surrendered to the
republicans in perpetuity, and the
next presidential election be permit
ted to go by default. At least a
dozen members spoke in this strain.
The effect upon the city delegation
is represented to have been very
marked, and the result of it all was
that some of them went to work to
see what could be done to bring the
factions together with a view to the
restoration of the entente cordiale. Mr.
Cooper was waited upon and so was
Mr. Kelly, and the Lotos love-feast
was the consequence. Further re
unions are spoken of, and, as ao
earnest of his sincerity in promoting
union and harmony, Mr. Kelly, I
hear, has avowed his readiness to
withdraw as a candidate for re-elec
tion at the approaching meeting to
choose Sachems for the ensuing year.
Whether the anti-Tammanyites wil
insist Upon this aa an indispensable
condition of peace, remains to be
seen. The fact that the sacrifice has
been voluntarily offered is a piece of
condescension on the part of the
Tammany chief which would have
been out of the question a year ago.
Ihe Mayor is quite delighted at the
! turn things are taking, and in token
of his readiness to reciprocate the
friendly feeling on the other side, he
has promised to appoint to office
several well known friends of the
Comptroller.
Give Names.
The following dispatch from Wash
ington appears in the last issue of
the New York Tribune:
Washington, January 20.—Senator
Gordon received a long argumenta
tive letter to-day from one of the
most prominet democrats of Georgia,
insisting that the only salvation for
the democracy in the next campaign
is to nominate President Hayes for
a second term. The co-operation of
the Senator in the measure was
asked for. He was answered that the
Senator is in favor of nominating
a straight-out democrat for 1880,
and cannot consider the plan in
question.
We have frequently noticed dis
patches and letters in Northern jour
nals purporting to give conversa
tions and letters from prominent
Southern democrats, but we have
also noticed that, for some inexpli
cable reason, the name of these dis
tinguished gentlemen are rarely, if
ever, given. It was only a week or
two ago that the announcement was
gravely made that a “prominent
member of the Georgia legislature,”
in Washington, has asserted that the
independents would carry the State
at the next election. More recently
a “prominent ex-rebel general’’ and
“prominent politician and journalist”
informed the Northern press that
Georgia would be for Grant in 1880.
Now a “prominent Georgia demo
crat” writes Senator Gordon that the
only salvation for the democracy lies
in taking the republican executive as
their candidate for the presidency
So much anonymous prominence is
growing monotonous. Let us have
the names of these distinguished
prophets and party saviours. If
Senator Gordon received a letter to
the contents of which he attaches so
much importance, let him not let U3
burst in ignorance, but publish tin
man as well as the matter. When
we know his name we can judge for
ourselves of the prominence of the
Georgia democrat who wishes to save
his party by electing a republican.—

TJic Credit of Our State,
Treasurer Renfroe has returned to
Atlanta from New York, where he
has been arranging for the issue of
the new four per cent, bonds He
sold thirty-five thousand dollars of
the bonds in New York at par, and
could have sold many more, but as
there are only one hundred and fifty
thousand to be issued this year he
thought it best tc give our own peo
ple the preference if they desired to
purchase them. Mr. Renfroe says
there will be no trouble whatever in
disposing of all issued. This fact
will convey some idea of the present
high standing of Georgia’s credit.
There is no State in the union that
can boast cf a healthier financial
condition, and surely every Georgian
ought to be proud of the old Com
monwealth. Notwithstanding the
fact that a gang of radicals and car
pet-buggers held the purse strings
and run the government machinery
for so long after the war, and thus
involved us in seemingly inextricable
difficulties, yet the wise and economi
cal legislation of the past few years
by our own representatives and the
judicious administration of the execu
tive officers of the State has brought
us out of the toils and placed us on
higher grounds, where we can begin
to see the way to a long season of
financial prosperity and happiness.
The credit of our State to-day,
among the monied men of Wall
street and of Europe, is unsurpassed
by any other. Georgia 8 per cents
are not for sale at all, being held as
something too secure and profitable
to be sold. The 6s and 7s are at a
premium of 6 to 153 per cent, accord
ing to the time they have to run. In
addition to this the mere fact that
the new 4s are taken so readily shows
that Georgia’s credit is above all sus
picion. The reason of this happy
state of things is in the fact that
everybody believes and knows that
the State can and will pay all her
obligations. She has enough proper
ty of her own which if sold would
fully pay every cent of her bonded
debt without taxing the people at all
in addition, all her business and
agricultural interests are in good
condition, the laws are wholesome
and wisely administered, and from
one end to the other genial, open
handed prosperity is smiling on our
people. We rejoice in the excellent
condition of our affairs at present
and trust that the State may attain
even higher heights of material ex
altation.
A Wild Scheme.
The project of Senator Windom of
Minnesota as set forth in his bill re
cently introduced in the Senate, by
which he propose to colonize the
negroes of the South, is even more
chimerical than we had at first
thought. We supposed, as did most
of our exchanges, that it was a mere
politician’s trick for campaign pur
poses by which the Senator hoped to
curry favor with the colored voteri*
of the South and prevent them afe far
as possible from deserting the radi
cals. Indeed, we looked upon it as
a sort of “forty acres and a mule,’’
bid for negro allegiance to the fail
ing fortunes of the Senator’s party.
As we understood it the bill pro
posed that the negroes should be
induced to migrate to the North or
West where they could be used by
radicals to more advantage and kept
out from under the influence of the
Southern whites, their best friends.
But instead of this it would geem
that the Senator is actuated by a
higher and much more philanthropic
purpose, viz.: The amelioration of
the darkey’s condition, the develop
ment of the South and the healing of
sectional issues. Speaking of the
Senator’s purpose in pressing the
bill to a passage, the New York Trib
une says: “His idea iB to leave them
in the South, but to scatter them so
that the pressure which is now
brought upon them when they try to
vote as majorities will bo removed.
If they are divided up into smaller
masses they will vote more freely,
and will finally divide on political is
sues. There are millions of acres of
land in the South actually suffering
for cultivation, and Mr. Windom
hopes to be able to distribute the
population so as to cultivate it. Ho
has no sectional feeling in making
the proposition, but believes that in
addition to improving the condition
of the negro, his plan will relieve ub
of sectional issues. ”
Senator Windom understands very
little of negro nature if he does not
know that the average freedrhan is
never happier than when he is sur
rounded by crowds of his own race-
They are eminently gregarious and|the
idea of dividing the masses and
placing them in anything like an
isolated condition, would be far from
meeting with the hearty approval of
the subjects of Mr. Windom’s philan
thropy. It is true that the millions
of virgin acres in the South need
cultivation, but the Minnesota Sena
tor’s scheme for bringing abeut so
desirable a result is highly visionary
and impracticable. The negroes have
as much work to do as they will do
in their present situation and if by
putting them off on new and sparse
ly settled tracts it is hoped that the
country will be developed, Mr. Win
dom would find that the land would
not only be profitless but the negroes
themselves would suffer. They are
obliged to live where white men can
look after them and keep them from
retrograding. As to the Senator’s
idea of relieving the country of* sec
tional issues, we would say that if
he is sincere and really desires the
country to be brought back to a state
of brotherly feeling, the best plan
for him and all his people would be
to let the negroes severely alosie s*id
leave them to the management of the
Southern people who know what is
best for them and who are entirely
willing to give them all their rights
under the laws. We very much fear
that Senator Windom’s little plea of
philanthropy and love of peace is not
genuine, but is a mere subterfuge,
while his real object is to find some
means to further distract the South
and make capital for the campaign
in 1880. If this is so, we warn him
now that he is on a wild goose chase,
that the negroes have learned a thing
or two and that they will next year
assist their white fellow-citizens to
roll up an astounding majority for
democracy and good government.

The Minneapolis Tribune says this
letter was received a few days ago:
Boston, Mass., January 5, 1879. —
Dear Sir, Ido not know as I ought
to write to you to decide a bet, be
cause you ought not to bet. But to
set you right in a matter of history
in which you seem to be interested,
allow me to say that in the demo
cratic convention at Charleston, S.
C ,in the year 1860,1 voted fifty seven
times, as I remember it, for Jefferson
Davis, of Mississippi, afterwards
President of the Confederate States,
as candidate for tho democratic par
ty for President. He was not before
the convention as a candidate, for
my vote and that of one of my col
leagues were the only votes he had.
I believed him to be a represen
tative man of the South, and subse
quent events have shown that I was
right. And I believed then, and be
lieve now, that if he could have been
nominated for President, and elec
ted, the war would have been saved,
and the attempted disunion preven
ted, for he would have been chosen
to be President over thirty-two
States, rather than fifteen, and my
experience has been that the North
always got more consideration on
questions of human liberty from a
Southern statesman as President be
fore the war than it did from a
Northern doughface, and that re
mains true down to the present time.

THE GEORGIA BAPTIST SEMINARY.

For the Education of Young Ladies.
.. Tll< ? Spring term will open Monday, the 6th of January next. A full corps of instruc
tion will be ready for the several departments of Science, Literature, Music, Pine Art*
and the various elementary branches of theoretical and practical education, suitable for
daughters. In the short space o ifour months, the Seminary has stepped out upon th*
arena of action,unfurled her banner for the education of young ladies,and now challenge*
comparison, in order and efficiency, with similar institutions in the South, however pre
tentious or venerable with age. The prices of provisions-corn, meat, lard, flour—ar*
ower than ever since the war. Our people have become poorer and poorer. Wages
have gone so low that the daily laborer can scarcely support his family, much less educate
his chi dren. Tuition and board for girls ought to be reduced accordingly. We hare
made a bold step in that direction. Our rates are from 25 to 50 per cent, less than those
of any similar College i'i Georgia. SGB to SB4 will pay for board, tuition, fuel, lights, for
our long term, which will end June 26.
