Saturday Morning,
Dec. 27,1879
The Radicals and their allies of the
soft money stripe want the Democrats
of the South to cut loose from the East
ern Democracy.
The infusion of silver into the cur
rency of the country by the Democrats
of Congress made possible the brisk
trade that would not have been realized
even with the advantage of good crops
and balance of trade in our favor.
We print, this morning, another in
terview with Hon. A. H. Stephens.
Pending a denial of its authenticity we
suspend comment.—[Augusta Chroni
cle.
We ark. glad to soe that our esteemed
cort6mpornry fully understands the sit
uation.
The rage of the Radicals in Maine
over the fair and lawful count by Gov.
Garcelon'and the Council will die away
with the year. Gov. Garcelon is likely
to lead the State out of the wilderness.
He has the courage and the ability to
do his duty. The Radicals will find out
they cannot scare him, then they will
submit to the law.
The Atlanta Constitution took holi
day and did not appear yesterday morn
ing. We miss it. We miss Jo Harris’
humor. We miss—sadly miss—many
more things we look for every day but
Monday, and we miss—thank fortune—
for one day the views and opinions of
Mr. Stephens and Dr. Felton as stated
by its Washington correspondent.
TIIR MIRAIILE FAMILY.
A Novel by Shuler lllllyer.
We received a few days ago a copy of
the novel named above from the pub
lishers, J. B. Lippincott & Co., Phila
delphia, and have not heretofore ac
knowledged its reception because we
preferred to have time to look iuto it be
fore speaking of- its claims to public fa
vor.
The story is a Southern one; the
scenes and main incidents being laid
within three miles of and in our own
city of Rome; the narrative carrying
the reader to Atlanta, Athens, Augusta
and Savannah, and across the ocean ,
and including some of the many thrill
ing surroundings of the late war. The
author’s style is chaste and natural;
his characters are such as any of ns
may know or have known, yet faithful
ly drawn to nature and painted with the
hand ot an artist. The work is one of
which the young author may he justly
proud, and will be recognized by a fair-
minded reading public as a valuable
addition to the literature of the country.
We hope to see this novel have a
large sale. It is worthy of popularity
because of its intrinsic merits, hut to
Georgians, and the people of Rome par
ticularly it will prove doubly interest
ing because the author describe? places
and scenery in his native State and par
ticularly along the Oostanaula where
he passed many of the days of boy
hood, in a style always pleasant and
never descending to commonplace,
while it is often thrilling but never just
ly chargeable with being “sensational.”
The Call to Arms.
New York, Dec. 28.—A dispatch
from Washington savs: “A circular,
without signature, has been sent to the
clerks in the departments from Maine
who served in the Union army during
tiie war, ordering them to so arrange
their affairs that they can meet without
delay at the Grand Army Hall to or
ganize a rifle club and start at once for
Augusta. The circular says uniforms
of great coats and caps will be furnish
ed, with rations and transportation, and
a supply of Spencer rifles will be pro
vided on the way north.”
Augusta, Me., Dec. 23.—A meeting
of the Republican State Commitete and
prominent Republicans from various
parts of the State, held in Senator
Blaine’s residence, resulted in tho ap
pointment of a committee to advise
and co-operate with the Republican
members of the Legislature.
Portland, Dec. 23.—At an indigna
tion meeting to-night, ex-Gov. Wash-
burne presided, and criticised severely
the ac.ion of the Governor aud Council,
and appealed to honest Democrats to
denounce their proceedings.
Augusta, Me., Dec. 23.—The Fusion-
ists held a public meeting here this
evening, at which epeeehes were made
thiow the election of a President into
the House, and thus enable the Demo
crats to elect a President.
Incineration in Capital Cases.
Baltimore American.
When a friendless criminal dies upon
a (the scnffold it is strongly suspected
that his bedy generally reaches the dis
secting table ; but it sometimes happens
that the convict is of a family who,
while feeling all the shame of his end,
are yet moved by the ties of blood to
afford him a decent sepulture. Yet
even in such a case the relatives coming
in the next generation must be keenly
susceptible to the shadow cast upon the
name by the fate of the convict, and
they have not had that personal contact
or remembrance of him out of which
sprung (he impassionate impulse that
gave him a grave in a respeotable bur
ial ground. The rumor that it was the
corpse of Andrew Tracy, recently
hanged at Smithport, Penn., for the
murder of his girl cousin, which was
cremated ia Dr. LeMoyne's furnace,
prompts the thought that, whether the
report is true or not, the relatives of a
rnau who has suffered capital punish
ment could not do better with his re
mains than give them to incineration,

A Washington dispatch to the New
York Herald says two gentlemen of
that city, both Repuhlicar s, one a strong
friend of General Grant and the other
by no means averse to his nomination,
went over to Philadelphia early last
week for the special purpose of ascer- j
taining the real feelings of the promi- j
nent Republicans who were to he there
regarding tho nomination of the Gener
al. They report that they were surprised
to And a strong uuder-current against
his nomination, oven among many who
are supposed by the country to be un
conditionally for it. Of these some were
privately opposing the idea of bringing
General Grant out, on the ground that
it involved a real risk to the party on
account of the uncertainty of the old
liberal vote, which once deserted the
party because of Grant. Others, who
were intimate personal friends of the
General, professed themselves extreme
ly solicitous in view of the serious effect
a defeat would have upon the splendid
position which General Grant now has,
while they felt that if another term of
the Presidency could be assured it would
round out and complete what they terra
his wonderful record. They were also
keenly alive to the effect of defeat. It
was found that serious fd irs were enter
tained of Ohio by the General’s friendsi
based upon the known feeling amoug
tho Germans and the strong opposition
among the largo body of Independent
Republicans of that State against a third
term.

London, Dec. 23.—Part of the crew
of tho steamer Borussia, from Liverpool,
Nov. 20, for New Orleans, has been
landed at Queenstown. Tho Borussia
was abandoned in a sinking condition
on the 2d instant. The cempany con
sisted of the chief engineer, doctor, boat
swain and six seamen. They were
picked up ou tho 6th inst. in an open

After leaving Corunna on the 21th of

the 1st of December, the severity of the

nouncing the counting out of Itepubli
can legislators in Maine. Wo shall never
believe that there is any sincerity in the
prolessed aversion to fraud voiced by
the Republicans, juit now, until they
denounce the gigantic fraud and steal
perpetrated by their own party in 1876—
’77, by which a man who was never
elected was seated in the White House.
If the Detroit Post and Tribune is real
ly a hater of fraud, it must hate fraud
perpetrated by its own party; but, in
stead of that, it has defended tho fraud
of 1876, and openly gloried in its exe
cution. Of course, the present Repub
lican anguish about the fraud in Maine
is hypocrisy. It is not fraud as a moral
evil that they object to, but they mourn
because it cuts out their majority. If
they are honest, lot them condemn their
own fraud of 1876, also.
An Atlanta correspondent of ihe
Savanuah News says : “It seems that
one line can bring all the business to
Atlanta as the great distributing point,
but two road9 are needed to carry only
a portion of this immense Western busi
ness from Atlanta to Macon. Will some
able railroad writer explain this mat
ter?
“Whenever the Cincinnati Southern
Railway comes to Atlanta, it will be
ever the Carrollton extension of tho
Central Railroad to Chattanooga, and
not over a line controlled by its most
dangerous and aggressive rival. Neith
er of the three great lines has yet de
cided to ignore Savannah as an Atlan-
tlc coast outlet for Western produce.”
Garfield’s Sense.
Washington Special N. Y. Herald.
There are Republicans hero who are
looking to the possible effect of the re
sult of the Maine affair upon tho count,
ing of tho Electoral vote as far more im
portant to their party than the question
as to which of the contending parties
may now succeed in obtaining control of
the Stnte’government of Miune Gen
eral Garfield has advised a number of
Republicans from that State to givp
very careful consideration to the tech
nicalities of law in the present case and
to yield to law if it is found to favor the
cluims of the Democrats, even if the
equities are all on tho side of the Repub
iicans. In case the Republicans should
now neglect any of these email technic
alities it would,enable the Democrats in
Congress, since they will control the
joint covention to count the electoral
vote, to reject the vote of Maine, and
this in return might, in case the vote
should he counted fora fusion candidate
Washington, therefore, till the begin
ning of the new year. The two houses
adiaurned without t iking any action on
the several (inanci il measures brought
before them. If there is to be a recon
sideration of the money question it will
come in the dull, cheerless days of Jan
uary, a time when people are naturally
averse to chunges and inclined to let
well enough alone.' Senator Bayard is
reported to have expressed the confident
belief that his bill to Je-legal-tenderize
the greenbacks will pass the senate, and
the eastern- republican journals are
pressing him to urge it on the attention
of that body. But it is probable that
thc Delaware senator will meet with a
disappointment. The strong p tint in
the position cf thoso who are hostile to
the Bayard bill and kindred measures
emanating from that source is their con
tentment with the present condition.
The country is prosperous, the money is

London, Dec. 25.—The Standard’s
Bombay dispatch, dated Wednesday)
says : “Yesterday a small column of in
fantry cleared the close country between
Shirpur and Cabul. This action has
restored confidence in the city where
tho most influential people are with us.
Were it necessary tq save them General
Roberts says he would attack the enf my

strike a blow offers before Gen. Gough
arrives, Gen. Roberts will make an at
tack the day following his arrival.”
The Republicans have been treking
very false statements as to the number
of Republican employes discharged
from the service of the Senate. The
Washington Post prints a list of em
ployes and snmmarizis as follows :
’It will be seen that forty-seven of
tho appointees of the Republican Sec
retary and Sergeant-at-arms are still on
the rolls—including the three new ones
—and that they draw 864,848 per
annum, while only thirty-seven appoint
ments have been made by the Demo
cratic Secretary and Sergeant-at-armB
and that theso appointees draw 860,000
per annum—a difference of 83,688 in
favor of the retained officials. It strikes
us that these facts are sufficiently sug
gestive without fdrther comment.”
