__ §he %)nnl(l. THURSDAY. AUGUST 12, 1875. E\rlßAlil\. The political outlook continues encouraging. The Gubernatorial contest in Kentucky has resulted in a grand Democratic triumph. In that State, as is generally known, party lines were distinctly drawn, and the contest was waged upon issues of vital moment—the great principles of States Rights or Local Self-government as opposed to Rad icalism and Centralism. It is true that Kentucky has always been Democratic, but in this campaign, when no local issues were present ed and the canvass was made upon strictly party linos, the fact that she roolled up a largely increased Dem ocratic majority is indeed cbeertng and gives promise of a glorious fu ture. Two other Southern States— Alabnroa and Texas,— whoro elec tions have recently been held for ■delegates to Constitutional Conven tions, send up tidings of great joy. The Democrats have secured ma jorities in each State, and the abom inations engrafted upon their Con stitutions by scalawags and carpct baggers will soon be lopped off,and the organic law revised and made to conform to the great fundamen tal principles upon which rest all of freedom worth the nnmo. South Carolina and Louisiana only of the Southern States remain shackled. May we not hope that by and by they too will shako the manacles from their limbs and rejoice in songs of deliverance. Ignitor and Profit of Forming in Gcorgin. The State Bureau of Agriculture, under the able management of Dr. T. P. Janes, is doing an immense amount of good. The Commission er and his subordinates are inde fatigable in their labors. From the last monthly report issued by the Department, we gather the fol lowing interesting facts as to the condition of labor and the average profits from farming in Georgia : The average price paid male la borers on the farm is 810 per month and board; women So 50 and board. Twenty-eight per cent, of able bodied negro women labor on the farm—Sixty-onc per cent, of the correspondents say they are not willing to cook and do house work, and 39 percent, say they will. Thirty-eight per cent, of the cor respondents soy onc-third of the crop is'paid for labor; 42 per cent., 1; 12 per cent., *of the corn and | of the cotton; and 8 per cent., say one-fourth. Twenty per cent, report, when land is rented for the crop, one third is required; 72 per cent., one third of the corn and one-fourth of tbo cotton, riul 8 per -cent., one fourth of all. When land is rented for cotton, 73 per cent., say one-fourth, or i hales to the plow is required; 19 per cent, less than this, and 8 per cent. more. When land is rented for mo*ey $3 per acre i3 required. Labor is as good and a majority report more efficient than last year 26.4 1 per cent, of labor is hired for wages; 48.85 per cent, for part of crop; 25 percent, rent land; and 11.25 of renters cam farm without financial assistance. .Fifty-two per cent, say wago3, has proved most profitable; 24 per -cent. say cropping, and 24 per cent say renthqg. The average per cent, of profit made by farming is reported at 3.11 per cent. Many correspon dents report that farmers do not know whether they make or lose. Some report as high as 25 per cent, profit, while others report as much as 10 per cent. loss. The Constitution states that the expense of running the State Gov ernment for the month of July foot ed up $47,672 88 Of this amount 925,635 47 was for the civil estab lishment ; 84,12*5 for the Deaf ana Dumb Asylum; $3,338 for the State Geologist; $2,992 83 for pub lic buildings; 83,250 for Academy for the Blind; and $3,157 for the public debt [fOR THE HERAIP.] Colored Mulilialli School Cele bration. Mr. Editor, —I take great pleas ure in stating, that the Sunday School Celebration held on Warren Andrews’ plantation, by the color ed people, on tho 23rd ult., was a grand success. Having ntterided many Sunday School celebrations in my life, I can truthfully say, that this one passed off as quietly and as peaceably as any I ever at tended. This Sunday School was estab lished early in the spring, by Will iam Kinnebrew, a colored man, who is farming on Mr. Andrews’ plantation,and has prospered won derfully ever since. William is a great admirer of Sunday Schools, and labors faithfully to brin" up tho young in the way in which they should go. Having succeeded re markably well in carrying on the Sunday School ever since it was established, he concluded to have a celebration; which met tho hearty approval both of the teachers and the [pupils. Consequently they went to work and set apart the 23d ult., as the day for the celebration. The Sunday School having been called together at 9 o’clock, a. rn., tho exercises were opened with prayer by the Rev. 11. M. Wordall. The Superintendent then stated tho object of the celebration, and re quested all to be quiet during the exercises. The pupils were well trained and acquitted themselves finely. The singing was extraor dinary, and the speeches wero well delivered. At 2 o’clock, p. m., it was announced that dinner was ready, when all were invited to the table, where there was a plenty of nicely barbecued shoat, mutton and kid, besides "various other things that had been prepared for the din ner. After dinner, the Sunday School sang several beautiful songs. Then some of the old members wero called uponanl short made speech es. [The exercises were then closed with prayer by the Superintendent. This Sunday School consists of about fifty pupils, and its first cele bration did much credit both to the teachers and the pupils. There was an immense crowd, and all seemed to have been impressed with the so lemnity of tho occasion. Not a word out of the way was uttered by any one during tho day ; but the behavior of all was such as be comes tho people on such an occa sion. It is very encouraging to see the colored people take so much inter est in Sunday Schools, and instead of epending their leisure time in idleness, spend it in tho cultivation of the mind, and the acquisition of useful knowledge. No ono knows the good that wo can do by oncour aging these people to study the Bi ble,which not only teaches in what true happiness consists, but also the virtues and duties, by which it may bo attained. History proves that no country, however great it may bo iD some respects, if it is weak in morality, intelligence, and civilization, can ever prosper to the same degree, as other countries that possess theso characteristics. America would now be what China is, were it not for her religious in stitutions, and the religious princi ples that have been taught her peo ple. It is not lofty mountains, magnificent landscapes, beautiful valleys and majestic rivers, that make a country prosperous; but it is religion and religious institu-• tions. We would have never emerged from>the abyss cf darkness had it not been for the religious in stitutions that have been establish ed throughout our land, and the in structions we Jiave received from the Bible that made known to us the Saviour of tho world. The colored people of this sec tion arc doing better this year than they have done since the emancipa tion. Let us encourage them in Sunday Schools and all other good works, and when they are thor oughly convinced of the fact, that the white man is their friend, and that he will do them justico, aud will give them all their rights, they will be governed more by his ad vice, and will not listen to the false doctrines of their pretended friends who do all they can to alienate them from the Southern man, their only true friend. SPECTATOR. Craw ford vifle, Ga.. Aug. 5, 1375. For the Herald. Tlie Changed I’olilical Senti ment. Mr, Editor, —The revival of tho celebration of the 4th of July, and the proposed great Centennial at Philadelphia (intended as a grand celebration of the 100th anniversary of American Independence, togeth er with the many favorable express ions relating thereto from the wisest most sagacious and discreet states men in Georgia, and of the whole Union, show beyond cavil that the political sentiment of the whole country is changing. The sad past too truly tells that division brings weakness—“ln union there’s strength.” In proof of the intended signifi cance of an observance of the last 4th of July at Atlanta, we quote from the letter of that distinguish ed statesman and jurist, ex-Gov ernor Ilerschel Y. Johnson, in 1860, the political ally of tho great renowned and lamented Stephen A. Douglas, whose election as Presi dent and vice-President, .probably would have saved us from the hor rors of civil war. “If I am not mistaken the cele bration you propose, has an impor tant and interesting significance.— It is Intended as a manifestation of the desire of the people of Georgia that the bitterness between tho two sections engendered by the lato war shall cease. This is right. — Let the assurance go out from the Capital of the State, that she is willing to extend practical greet ings to the people of every section, who agree to stand by tho great principles of public liberty and maintain the Federal Union of States based upon them as defined in the Constitution.” This being the significance, what a demonstration favoring the sub stitution of Peace and Good Will for discord and bitterness is made by the approval of the following distinguished Georgia, touching the observance of the 99th anniversary of American Indepen dence at Atlanta ; lion. Alexan der H. Stephens, llis Excellency James M. Smith, ex-Gov. Joseph E. Brown, Ilerschel Y. Johnson, and Charles J. Jenkins, every member to Congress from Georgia, we believe, has given evidences of this approval, as have nearly, if not all, of the Judges of our Su perior Courts of tho State. IVhat a great change in the political sen timent ? What reasons for every citizen’s encouraging reeoncilia tion ! In point of political significance, that of tho Centennial at Philadel phia next May, is intended to unite the whole people of tho United States. It is believed that repre sentatives will be there from every Nation on the face of the earth— that probably five or ten millions of peoplo will visit the grand Cen tennial from the time of its open ing to its close, and what a grand subliino demonstration will he made to all the representatives of the dif ferent Nations of the globe, when our representatives from Georgia, from tho entire South, and from the whole Union proclaim that, though in war tho people of the United States wero enemies, now they are as truly friends—ready to defend the stars and stripes the heritage bequeathed to them by the blood of our Revolutionary sires, who so gallantly achieved for us American Independence. Then the representatives of our common country can truly pro claim ours a united country of law and order, and can invite with great assurance of complaisance,the the capitalist to come with his mo ney and buy our lands made sur plus by tho abolition of slavery Likewise invite tho miner to come and develop our rich mines of gold, copper and other valuable miner als ; also ivite the laborer to come with his muscle to till our soil and even receive the oppressed with outstretched arms to come to this their Asylum. This desideratum being readved as a glorious result of reconciliation, we then can with | truth and prido and pleasure, cx j claim, “Ours is the loveliest land j oti the face of the earth, and will ! yet blossom as the rose !” A DOUGLAS DEMOCRAT OF IW<L Aug. 5, 1875. UItEAT FLOOD I\ THE WEST. Heavy Damiige to the Crops in the Ohio A alley. Interruption to Railroad Travel in In diana—Two Lives Lost in the Wa bash—Alarming Overflow of the Mississippi River. Cincinnati, Aug. s.—lt is- difficult at this time to form more than a rough estinate of tho damage done to the crops by the rains and overflows in the Ohio Valley, but it is believed that it will be quite heavy. The wheat crop suf fered severely by the cold weather in the spring, andjhalf of what was plant ed was winter killed. Ofthe remainder it is believed that one-third is hopeless ly lost, and the remaining two-thirds partially damaged, though it is believed the damage will bo much less then is generally expected. The acreage of wheat sown was larger than that oflast year, and the relative yield, compared with last year, will be fifty percent less. The chief damage to corn is in the river bottoms, where the crop [is a total loss. That portion planted on high ground has suffered principally from be ing broken down. The acreage was much greater last year, and the prospects be fore the flood were favorable for an un usually heavy crop. It is now thought that there will be a fair average crop, not much, if any, less than last year. Much depends, however,upon favorable weather for the remainder of the season. ' he oat crop has suffered more severely than either wheat or corn, having been beaten flat, and so badly damaged that it will be impossible to harvest it. The percentage saved will be very small. Barley snffered severely from the cold weather, and hut little was growing. Of this grain tho quantity saved in a condi tion for malting will he comparatively insignificant. Hay promises a partial crop, bnt ofittferior quality, should fa vorable weather follow. Much had been left out uncut, and was rendered nearly worthless by'the rains. THE DAMAGE IN INDIANA. Terre Haute, Aug. s.—The Wabash is slowly falling. The fist mail from the East since Saturday came in last night Trains will not run through from Indi anapolis without transfer for a week. The Logansport and Terre Ilaute Rail road will not be able to run trains through for two weeks or more. Trains will probably get through to Danville, by transferring, on Monday. Trains are running regularly ou the Illinois, Mid land and Evansville Railroads, transfers being made between this city and St. Louis. On both the_Yandalia and Indi anapolis, and St. Louis and Yandalia, between Jicrc and Indianapolis, trains will be run to-morrow, transferring at two places. The Cincinnati Railroad will he able to run trains by the middle of next week. The Express of this afternoon estimates that the loss to crops and the destruction of property in fourteen counties'tributa ry to Terre Haute,at not less than $12,- 000,000. There is profound discour agement among all classes. No very reliable estimate of the ag gregate loss to the wheat, corn, and other crops in the State can be made at present. In some sections the esti mated damage is forty per cent., in others a much greater percentage, and iu many localities the entire crop is destroyed. From the most reliable in formation the loss in the central and southern portion of the State will ag gregate fifty to sixty per cent, of the entire crop. In the lowlands along the Wabash river it has been estimated that 200,000 acres of corn has been en tirely destroyed by the flood, which alone at sls per acre would aggregate $3,000,000. , The loss of the crops in Tippecanoe county is estimated at $500,000, and io Carroll, Warren, and Fountain coun ties $250,000 eaeh. Memphis, August 5.—A heavy rain storm prevails this morning. The re ports from above this city state that the plantations on Islands Numbers Ten aDd Thirty-five arc being submerged, and at New Madrid the flood is run ning through the sunken lands to St. Francis Valley. The water here is high, rising steadily,[and slowly en croaching on the exposed plantations below here. The crevasse at De Soto front has been repaired. The planters between here and Helena are working hard to protect their lands. A private dispatch from Pine Bluff, Art., says the river rose six inches this morning and within four feet of high water mark. A telegram from Little Rock, Ark., reports another rise in the river with twenty-five feet on the guage. The Signal Service tables show that twenty-five feet on that guage floods the lower Arkansas Valley. Capt. Japliu of the steamer Frank Forrest estimates that one-half of the corn crop along the river between here and Osceola is ruined, and fully one fifth of the cotton crop, with the water slowly and steadily encroaching upon the cotton lands below here. On the Mississippi side very little damage has been done, and planters are still hope ful, and busily engaged in strengthen, ing the levees, but on the Arkansas side, where the lands are unprotected, the damage already done is consider able, and planters generally arc unable to do anything to avert the danger. It is feared that the freshet in the Arkan sas river will cause great damage to fine planting lands where it meets the back water from the Mississippi. * Penitentiary Statistics. [Atlanta Herald.] We are'indebted to the courtesy of Col. John T. Brown, Principal Keeper of the Penitentiary, for the information promptly and courteously given in an swers to our inquiries, which we present below: The wholo number of convicts is about 800; one-tenth of these are whites. The ratio is one of decrease in the number of white convicts and an increase of colored. Of the 800, there are thirty women—one of whom is a white woman, from this city, convicted of murder. The rates of mortality for this year are about the same as last. There were forty deaths, out of 700, reported last year, for the whole year. For the seven months of the present year there have been 30 deaths out of 800. The health of the various gangs through the State has improved considerably of late. Those at work on farms are the healthiest, but the percentage of escapes is greater. The number of escapes, so far, is twenty five; one-third less than last year. Greater efficiency in capturiug those who make their escape is appar ent. W A heavy increase is anticipated the coming fall. Courts will soon be in session,'and jails are full all over the State. In the month of July, this year, there were nineteen brought in, against two in 1873 and four in 1874, for the same month. There are many young negroes brought in; some ns young as ten years, and a number fourteen and fifteen years old. The distribution at present is as fol lows : In Washington county there are 130 on farms, leased by Col. T. J. Smith and Col. Taylor. At the Dade Coal Mines there are 200. In the brick yard at Iceville there are 75. At the Bartow Iron Works there are 57, raising iron ore. At Ridge Valley Iron Works there are 55, raising iron ore and chopping wood. Three and a half miles from Atlanta, towards Decatur, Col. T. J. Howard has 40, making brick. At the Kaolin Works, in Baldwin county, there are 54. At’Elberton there are 67. On the Northeastern Railroad there are 35. On the Marietta and North Georgia Railroad there are 96. This makes 819, but there have been some discharges recently. The whole number is 802. Tlie Witchery of Planner. Almost every man can recall scores of cases, within his knowl edge, where pleasing manners have made the fortunes of lawyers, doc tors, divines, merchants, and in short, men in every walk of life, — Raleigh flung down his laced coat m the mud for Elizabeth to walk on, and got for his rew'ard a proud queen’s favor. The politician who has this advantage easily distances all rival candidates, for every vo ter he speaks with becomes instant ly his friend. The tones in which he asks for a pinch are often more potent than the logic of a Webster or a Clay. Polished manners have often made scoundrels successful, while the best of men, by their hardness and coldness, have done themselves incalculable injury; the shell being so rough that the world could not believe there was a precious kernel within. Civility is to a man what beauty is to a wo man. It creates an instantaneous impression in his behalf, while the opposite quality excites as quick a prejudice against him. It is a real ornament, worth more as a means of winning favor than the finest clothes and jewels ever worn. The gruffest man loves to be apprecia ted ; and it is often the sweet smile of a woman, which we think intend ed for us alone, that bewitches our heart, and lays us at the feet of her whom we afterward marry.-[Home Guardian.
