Our friend Clement of the Cur;

t led at an editorial notice in the
Hhuld, of M alione and his follow

lj announcing the.r fusion with
the Republican par:y, We took
occaeion to commend their course
because it is open, manly and hon

contests, these off shoots full into

All this fal-dal about going out

TSKIt-'F HIM. UKII.U Kit
No question lias occupied the
attention of Congress during this
long session, which excited so
much interest and we are sorry to
sty, so much feeling, as the ’Tariff
Hill, introduced by Representa
tive Morrison, as Chairman of the
Committee on Ways and Means.
This bill proposed a horizontal
reduction of the tariff of t wenty
per cent tin 1 was attempted to be
made a test of party fealty It
was understood at the time Car
lyle.was elected Speaker of the
House, that he went into office a j
the exponent of the revenue re
formers and his election gave as
surance ha' a bill properly drawn,
reducing the tariff would pass the
House, although it was conceded
that there was no probability of
its getting through the Senate.
After long and laborious work
the committee agreed on a bill
and reported it. A democratic
caucus was called and an effort
was made to force the bill through
under the party lash, but it met a
determined resistance from a very
considerable portion of the party
led by Samuel J Randall, of Penn
At one time it was thought that
thf bitterness tprtnging'oul of the
discussion and the difference of
opinion would split the Democrat
ic party into waring factions and
ultimately letd to a defent this
fall in the Presidential electiou.
There is no question that a re
duction in the tariff ha* been and
is demanded by the Demoera ic
party, Revenue reform has been !
a prominent plank in every nation ■
al platform for years. And the |
vote on this question in the House
shows that the party* while not a
unit on this question, is over- j
whelmingly in favor of it. And 1
we have no ques ion that it is the
true policy of the government, '
but was it the policy of the party [
to make au issue upon the ques |
tion on the eve of a Presidsntial j
election, when it was well known
that there was no hope of the bill '
becoming a law. /i was insisted
by the friends of the]meastire that
the democrats being in the major
tty in the Hoiwe it was the true :
policy to pass the bill and let it
be defeated by the Republican
Senate, aud then appeal to the
country in the Presidential elec
tion to pass in judgement between
a protective tariff'and a tariff for
revenue onlv'ao adjnstedas to meet
he actual wants of the Govern
ment economically administered.
If the party had been a unit on
this question, there would have
been no doubt that Mr ,Carlyle
aud Morritou would have been
right, but a ith a knowledge that
there was a broad und well defin
ed difference of opinion, which
would ineviiably lead lo a division
in our ranks, we then and now
doubt ihe policy of raising the is
sue in Congress. It would have
been better to have left the ques
tlon to be disposed of by the par
ty conventions that will ustemble
in ihe summer, and united all our
forces in one grand eftbri to get
control of the government by the
November election . Once in pow
er it will be time enough to wran
gie over these questions.
After a long debate the issue
was squarely made last Tuesday,
when a motion was made to strike
out the enacting clause This
was recognized as the test ques
tiou that would settle the fate of
the bill and both sides rallied eve
ry man to the ballot box who was
in reach.
The vote stood yeas 150, nays
151 Th re were four pairs, which j
made ihe final vo l e 151* to 155,
The result was received wiih
round after round of a. plause.
Only three Republicans voted
uay, while forty democrats voted
yea. The entire Georgia delega
tion voied against the mo ion to
strike out.
Anil thus ended the much excit
ing question that lias been consul
ered or is likely to be discussed
at this session.

WIM. Til.OF* ACCEPT?
If tin news-gatherers of the
country can be relied on as aecu
rate barometers of popular senti
ment, the nomination of Samuel J.
Til ten, by tbeCbicago convention
is a foregone conclusion, provided
he will accept. We have not ad
vocated Tildea's nomination for
reasons which we have heretoftre
set forth, and we have seen no rea
son to change our opinion, that
it was not politic to putjthe stan
dard of the party in the hands of
a man who e physical and mental
condition were such as to reuder
it impossible for him to dischsrge
the duties of oe office, and ex
tremely improbable that he will
live until the campaign is over
Bnt the tiae of popular opinion
seems to be running in that d<rec
tion, and unless it is checked by
his positive refusal to make the
race, he will go into the conven
tion with a clear working majori
ty-
He has stated time and again
that he dots not want to make the
race and will not seek aud does
no ask a nomination. But this is
regarded by his sanguine friends
as only ths coy modesty of the
maiden, if we may be allowed the
poetic license of talking about an
old stag as a maiden, and that he
really wants the office, but will
not accept or decline until it is
tendered to bim.
In this we think Mr. T’lden,
for whom we have great reject,
and wouldcheerfully suppotl him
if he conld recall the vigor of eight
years ago, is making u serious
mistake. He is doing injury to
his friends and the party. He is
notdet ling in that frank man'y way
that becomes a r an of bis ability
standing and political history.—
The party has honored bim high
ly in the past, and he deserved
that honor, and his party has a
right to know in advance, whether
he will accept a nomination if ten
dered te bim. It will not do to
say it is time enough for him to
accept or reject the honor when
offered. This is no horse swap,
ping business and ws want, no jok
y>ng-
Mr. Tilden knows now as well
ns he will know on the Bth of Ju
ly, whether he will accept the
Democratic nomination if teuder
ed. If he intends to (' ecline it,
as he did it 1880. it is but just to
the party that ke should, at once,
so s f ate, and in unmistakable
terms, if he intends to accept it
is the right of the party to know
that at once.
In a few weeks the State con
ventions will assemble to appoint
delegates, and while it is customs
rv to send them uninstructed, the
sentiment of the sta'e is generally
understood, and the delegates ex
pect to conform to the preference
thus indicated If Tildun does
not intend to be a candidate, the
conventions should know that fact
and can indicate its preference
among the aspirants.
The Marine Bank of New York 5
failed last week, and in its down
fall curiied the firm of Grant A
Ward, stock brokers. This firm
is composed of Gen. U. S. Grant,
J D F’sb, U S. Grant, Jr. and
Ferdirand Watd. The failure
seems to have been caused by the
wild stock speculation of Fish aud
Ward, who were the aetive man -
agers of the bank aud the firm
9
and leaves (-rant and his son hope
lessly bankrupt. It also appears
that the whole Grant family were
mixed up in the failure, and Fred
Graat and J esse R. Grant have
made assignments for the benefit
of 1 heir creditors.
The amount of loss by the fail
ure is reported to be enormous,
and is variously estimated at from
five to seven millions.
Wall street is a whirlpool where
a few men suddenly get rich,while
thousands go down to want in a
day. Rich to-day, a beggar to
morrow. Only last week Keene
failed. He came from San Frun
cisco a few years ago with $5,000-
000 and is now bankrup'- These
are only the big fish, the small fry
rise and fall so rapidly that their
names are hardly known.
This failure has effectually set
tled Grant's propects for tbePresi
dency. He will now rei refpiob .
bly on a government pension “to
husband oui life’s taper at the'
close.”

The rmratrel business does not
seem to be flourishing thia season
in Georgia. A minstrel troup
disbanded * in Macon last week,
and’the members were left in a de
plorablecondition. Without mon
ev aud in a strange city they had
to make their way back North as
best they could. Well, we have
no tears to shed. When grown
men of vigorous conad'ution and
bright minds start out to make a
living by beating a tamborine and
knocking bones, for the emu re
men; of boys and negroea. and
cracking stale jokes for the so er.
tain men tof grown people, they
are entitled to little eympathy, it
the long suffering public fail to
appreciate them. If Skiff Jk Gay

thing to eat. And with a little

The undersigned commissioners
make the following report on petition
to reopen the Hutchins Perry Road.
Commencing at Mrs Mary Drowns
and following the old road bed. that
is tosav, the bed as it was at the time
it was discontinued through the lands
of Mrs Brown, W P Scales, J m Brog
