MACON TCLY ii- *370
'iliolnu.on.lins War in Earn,,c.
Editor* TiUsrop* a * d Messtngr. I onr
foreitin news this morning startles ns. A war
between France and Prussia bns been antici
pated for fonr years—aver since the close of the
„no between the letter power and Austiia. You
will remember that in that contest Prussia' hu
miliated Austria by the sword.and France by
diplomacy. The French have chafed for an op
portunity to ^thresh Prnssia ever since. Tho
time seems to*have come at last, and the cause
—the election of a King of Spain, or rather the
occasion; for really it makes little difference to
Napoleon or his realm who rules that bigoted
people. “Spain is a conntry where two and
two make five,” stud Talleyrand. Fanatical,
exclnsive, revengeful, bigoted and mean, they
hate the whole human race, and, in turn, arc
detested by the civilized world. They only
make an exception to the house of Hohenzol-
lera; any one save a Prussian Prince.
But it is a little singular that the intensely
Catholic country of Spain should elect a Pro
testant ruler. Leopold is a Protestant, and
Spain is about the last refage of the temporal
power of the old Pope of Nome. His Holiness
would certainly he the fast friend of the French
in the impending fight. -
These great European bruisers are in fine
condition for a first-class mill. They each can
muster eight hundred thousand men, excellent
ly armed and equipped. The match would be
the championship of Enrope. The contest
would be a short one. The days of long and
bloody wars have passed. One year s time and
fonr or five battles would close it.
No people would bo more seriously affected
by this contest than we of the South. It would
depress tho price of cotton and raise the value
of provisions. The cotton mills of continental
Europe would stop, which, of course, would
stop the demand for onr material, and greatly
depreciate the price.
Bidders from these houses wonld swarm into
our provision markets and the price of every
thing wonld go up. Hence it would do us no
good. We care nothing whatever for the poli
tics of these nations, nor who wins the battles.
In the meantime we should put onr households
in order and prepare for hard times. We hope
the war will be averted upon purely personal
and selfish grounds. It is to onr interest for
Europe to remain at peace and increase in pop
ulation and cotton mills.
This fight may be averted now, but it will
come sooner or later. Prussia aspires to be the
leading power of Enrope, which idea is intoler
able to France. France longs to extend her bor
ders to the Rhine, but I cannot exactly see
what Prussia Is to gain by this war. She may
arouse Austria as an ally of France and in the
end lose what was gained in I £66. The placing
of a little Prince upon the throne of all the Fer
dinands wonld amonnt to nothing. Spain wonld
still continue a hoary old monarchy—steeped in
ignorance, cling to antediluvian ideas—never
learning anything, never forgetting anything.
Rincon mid Western Road.
We are informed that at a recent meet
ing of the Directory of this Road, it was
determined to proceed immediately and re
fit the Thomaston and Barnesville Railroad,
under a lease of that line from the Cen
tral Railroad for twenty years, at a nominal
consideration. The work will proceed at once
should nothing unexpected intervene, and we
shall be glad to be once more in easy railway
communication with onr friends in tho salubri
oos county of Upson; and this road probably
opens the best route to the mountain and min
eral wafer regions of Meriwether.
The.Board at the same meeting also deter
mined to put another grand section of the
Griffin and North Alabama Railroad under con-
trac, to wit: From Newnan to Bowden, in Car-
roll county, within fonr miles of the Alabama
line, and a distance of thirty-five miles from
Newnan, through a splendid country, with an
industrious, thriving population, which fortu
nately suffered comparatively little, in a pecun
iary point of view, from the war. This will
make the whole length of road, completed and
under contract, about seventy miles.
The work is going on steadily, and so far has
been done in a very satisfactory manner. Col.
White tells ns it is smoother and better than the
main line of the Macon & Western. Trains by
next Taesday-or Wednesday will run as far as
Senoia, in Coweta county. The track is laid to
within about twelve miles of Newnan, and it is
hoped will be in operation toNewnan sometime
in the month of An gust next. This line ought to
open a valuable trade to Macon, and the people all
along it look to Macon as the mart for their
eotton and the place where they expect to lay
in. their supplies. But the truth is, while Ma
con is not putting forth one solitary effort to
seenre this trade, the Atlanta merchants ere at
this moment very actively represented in that
region. Drummers abound, but not one from
this place.
What activity accomplishes, we are told may
be seen by comparing the down freights of the
Macon and Western Railroad for the inter
vening country between Atlanta and Macon,
with the up freights from Macon for the same
region. From five to fifteen cars are daily
freighted in Atlanta, while in Macon the aggre
gate is scarcely one car load a week. Tho trade
of Atlanta extends down this'Oebateable region
as far as Crawford's Station, eight miles from
Macon. It is true tho great bulk of this trada
is Western produce, which wonld much more
natnrafiy flow from Atlanta on its due South
eastern coarse, than stop here and begin a re
flux in the opposite direction ; but still, we np-
prehend that a good deal of the discrepancy may
be due to a want of activity among onr business
men. Macon is better situated for trade than
Atlanta, and with equal energy we are confi
dent would display as favorable results.
Good Prospect forSeftlingOId Scores
If France and Prnssia should go to war, there
will be n fine prospect for settling a lot of old
scores on many sides.
Prance successful, would see Waterloo folly
avenged, and the bones of old BIncher almost
turning In his gravo. If Prnssia sbonld win;
tho memories of Jena, and Berlin in French
occupation, wonld bo completely atoneci for. If
Austria sides with France, and tho alliance is
successful, Sadowa is avenged, and the Houso
of Hapsburg compensated for the bitter memory
of a treaty of peace signed with Prussian bay
onets in full "and almost unresisted march for
Vienna If Russia backs Prnssia, and Prance
is bumbled, Sebastopol is atoned for. Wo* hardly
count Spain in the business, for sho will be
almost lost in the smoke and .stock of the
mighty conflict that will shake Europe from
center to circumference. • ...
But she has her old scores to settle too.—
There nre proud old Dons still living, we dare
say, who remember tho Frenchman, Joseph Bo
naparte, re igning in Madrid, And Spain's fairest
portions devastated,by French soldiers. If she
could 6e even the least atom of' a grand power
whose blows might shako the solid strength of
•tho French Emp: re, that would be Sweet revenge
for (lie wrongs of more than half a century ago.
This impending conflict cpimot fail to Lo a
most opportune occasion for wiping oat old
debts, awl feeding to fatness grudges that have
long sine passwl into history.
The weather now i» perfectly splendid. It is
a positive lnxuiy just to breathe.
The Credit System.
In the olden time it used to bo a maxim j
among merchants that he who traded on bor
rowed capital at six par cent, was bound to
break. Malang all allowances for tho now dis
pensationWo are under, what can one afford to
pay now ? What is paid ? What are you paying ?
What is the common rate in Middle Georgia ?
W’a respectfully decline answering these imper
tinent questions. -
Did we say anything about the strange policy
'of merchants who encourage the credit system
with all their might, and then borrow money at
one, one and a half, two, two and a half per
cent a month? Not a word that we can re
member. Did we expatiate on tho result of
thirty years’ observation, wherein nineteen-
twentieths of the business men havo persist
ently dug their own graves and buried their
hopes and fortunes in tho rubbish ofimpaid
accounts and dishonored paper? Never said
anything about it. Did we allude to the oft-
broken promises of better things, wh6n, in
periods of utter insolvency, merohants caught a
glimpse of the light and solemnly promised
themselves and each other that they would
never do a credit business again—no, never ?
These were sick-bed promises of reform—soon
forgotten. We said nothing about them.
Did we allude to the grand basis of this credit
system in Georgia—a thing which i3 not—may
never be —or if it is„ may represent no value be
yond actual cost of production ? Did we say
anything about the trne nature and value of a
warehouse acceptance?—which is a right good
thing if the cotton grows—if it is delivered—if
it sells at a remunerative price, bat if not,
where is it ? Gentlemen, we said nothing of
the kind.
Were we remarking upon the unreasonable
character of this universal credit system? Tho
whole trade of the conntry resting upon one
grand product which is jnst as good as gold, so
soon as offered in market, ought to elevate every
thing dependent on it to its own standard. The
Sonthern Farmer ought to have no more perma
nent use for credit than a wagon has for a fifth
wheel. He who in all his products realizes
promptly cash on delivery, ought, as a rule, to
carry out the same practice in his dealings, and
if he wou\d shape all his to attain that
desirable consummation, he wonld lay the
foundation of a solid prosperity and independ
ence. John Randolph called “Pay as you go,*
the Philosopher’s Stone, which transmutes all it
touches into gold. But we beg leave to add
that we shall say nothing on this subject.
i’repostcrons.
Our Columbia correspondent reports that
there is an increasing probability that F.. L.
Cardozo, the colored Secretary of State, will be
the Radical nominee for Governor.—Charleston
Reins.
We’ll believe that, when yve know it is a fact—
not before. Of all the pirates who have trooped
down Sonth since the war to rob and ruin the
people, not one has shown more insatiate greed
than the man Scott, now calling himself Govern
or of Sonth Carolina. He has illustrated in his
loil person the rapacity of the shark, the keen
scent of the buzzard, and the cowardly and cruel
instinct of the tiger. He is, so far as we have
been able to learn his traits, utterly wicked—
without one redeeming trait. Fanoysnch a man
giving up his chances for farther robbery and
revenge to anybody, much less a negro! Na
ture, instigated thereto by the Father of Evil,
formed such men for the Radical party, and the
party for them. They can’t do without each
other. Wo have no more expectation of Scott’s
yielding to Cardozo, than of Bullock’s abdicating
in favor of Tnrner or Bradley. It takes hard
chokiDg to make their sort let go anything with
the faintest prospect of a dollar in it.
Gen. I.ce Stamps Out Another Radi-
can t.ie. _■/
Some weeks since, says tho Colnmbns En
quirer, Harper’s Weekly published a false and
malicions charge against Virginia’s noble son,
that be remained in Gen. Scott’s service as a
member of his staff, until the last moment be
fore joining the “lost cause," in order to obtain
full knowledge of that officer’s plans of future
operations. Msj. Sidney Herbert, editor of the
Troy (Ala.) Messenger and Advertiser, felt
coiled upon, in view of his official knowledge
of the facts of tho case (he being at the com
mencement of the war a staff officer at Wash
ington) to refute the false charge and defend
the honor of General Lee. That he was right
in his statements, and that his good intentions
have Ijpen fnlly appreciated by General Lee. is
clearly 6hown by the following very mode3t let
ter which Maj. Herbert has just received from
the gallant old hero, and which he kindly per
mits us to give to the public through the col
umns of the Eoqnirer:
Lexington, Va , June 20, 1870.
Dear Sir—I am much obliged to you for the
kind sentiments expressed towards me in your
reply from tho Messenger and Advertiser, of
which yon are editor, to the erroneous assertion
of Harper’s Weekly respecting myself. Though
it is difficult to learn tho truth, the facts in the
charge cited, might, I thick, have been easily
ascertained, inasmuch as I never belonged to
the military family of General Scott,s>r served
near his person, except when in Mexico, when
I was attached to the general staff of the army
in that conntry.
Thanking you for the refutation of the charge
and for your kind wishes,
I am, very respectfully,'
Yonr obedient servant,
R. E. Lire.

The Chinese In Tennessee. -
Tbs fifteen hundred Chinese who havo been
contracted for to work upon the Chattanooga
and Alabama railroad, says the Banner, will
probably pass through Nashville in a day or
two. They will eome via Omaha to Hickman,
tho terminus of the Nashville and Northwestern
railroad, by foot, and thence to Nashville and
Chattanooga by rail. A telegram wns received
Taesday stating that the Chinese hod been de
layed in leaving San Francisco, bnt would be on
hand very shortly. Tbo passage of such a large
number of Chineses through a conntry where
they have been heretofore unknown will donbf-
less awaken a great deal of curiosity.

Tho Chattahoochee National Bank, of Colum
bus, has declared a dividend of five per cent
from the profits of the past six months.
A few weeks ago old corn was Belling in
Thomas county at $2 00 a bushel. So fine is
the prospect now for the present crop, however,
that it will hardly bring $1 00.
Johnathan Ashley, a prominent planter of
Lowndc3 county, died on the 28th ult.
The Valdosta Times says:
Catebttlt.ab.—Several depositee of eggs
were discovered on eotton in the neighborhood
of this town, supposed to be those of the cotton
caterpillar. Various other insects deposite on
the cotton, bnt there is only a faint probability
that these are not the seeds of destruction to
cotton.
A correspondent of the Timo3 says of crops
in that county: _
The oat crop was fine. The corn is over an
average, both in acreage and prospeots for an
abundant yield. King Cotton has had dne at
tention paid him; there is one-third more plant
ed this year than last, and it ia all of one-third
better. Minorcrops, sugar cane, sweet potatoes,
etc., era fine.

The News has the following items:
Honor to Whom Honor is Due.—We re
corded in yesterday’s News the rescue of* gen
tleman from drowning at the Isle of Hope on
Sunday last, detailing tho circumstances without
giving the name of the party whose bravery
and self-possession saved a fellow-croature’s
life. As we have had several inquiries made as
to who was that gentleman, we deem it hut onr
duty to state that Mr. Henry W. Boifeuillet was
the person who at the risk of his own life res
cued another from drowning, when a moment’s
delay or hesitation would have proved too late.
Eabet Cotton Boils.—We were shown yester-
day a number of. large-sized cotton bolls from
the plantation of Mr. D. W. Mongin, on the
Ogeecheo. The size of the bolls and their ad
vanced stage of maturity augnr well for the
crop from which they were taken. Certainly it
must be beyond tho reach of the caterpillar.
P. M. Doughty, of •Savannah, while driving
in a buggy near that city, Thursday afternoon,
was thrown out and badly injured.
The Republican says u
We learned yesterday morning that a gentle
man in this city, who had been drinking a great
deal the past few days, procured a quantity of
morphine, and in a momentary fit of insanity
dosed himself with it, intending, no doubt,'to
pnt an end to his existence. He was fonnd in

The Albany News says tho corn crop of that
section is very promising. A large yield is an
ticipated. Of the cotton prospect the News
gives a gloomy account. It says:
We have steadily maintained that the crop in
Sonthwest-Georgia is far inferior to apy former
year since the war.' Isolated plantations may
be doing well, but wo fi.s-.-ert upon the most; re
liable testimony, that the bulk-of the,.crop is
disastrously behind the planters’ just expecta
tions. The freedmen have not worked as well
as tuna], and the crops cro in the grass. Lice
have taken possession of tho fields, and the
burning sun fails to disperse them. The w eed
is not larger than it ought to have been on tho
20th of May, and we doubt if a sorryer prospect
was ever before presented in tbis section.

SENATE.
Thursday, July 7,1870.
Senate called to order by the.President.
Prayer by Wesley Pratts man.
Message from the-House taken up and con
curred m.
The following message was received from
Gov. Bullock :
Atlanta, July 7, 1870.
To the Provisional Legislature : ■
The same reasons which made it unadvisable
to enter upon legislation at the time of your last
adjournment, still exist; bnt, within the last
few days the Honso of Representatives of the
United States Congress adopted a bill for the
admission of Georgia, by the terms of which your
organization is expressly recognized as “legal,”
and yonr legislative action, in adopting the
conditions required by the several reconstruc
tion acts, is approved. This bill, it is believed,
will be concurred in by the Senate within a few
days. Pending such action, by the Senate, I
would respectfully recommend that you take a
recess until the 15th instant, or ocenpy the in
terim in the consideration of such resolutions as
may be presented. R. B. Bullock.
Mr. Candler offered ft resolution to adjourn
sine die.
The yeas and nays wero demanded upon the
passage of the resolution with the following re
sult:
Yeas—Candler, Fain, Hicks, Holcombe, Jor
don, McArthur, Wootten—7.
Nays—Campbell (15th amendment), Dickey,
Donning, Harris, Henderson, Uigbcc, Jones,
Mathews, Merrill, Richardson, Sherman, Smith
of the 7tb, Smith of the 3Gth, Speer, Traywick,
Wallace (15th amendment), and Welch—10.
Those absent and not voting—
Bowers, Bradley (15th amendment), Brock,
Brnton, Barnes, Corbitt, Griffin of the Gth,
Griffin of the 2l6t, Hinton, Himgerford, Mc
Whorter, Nesbitt, Nunnaliy, Stringer and Well
born.
Mr. Candler wished to introduce a bill, as the
Senate had refused to adjourn.
Mr.' Harris moved to adjourn until Monday
next, 12 o’clock, ir.
Mr. Candler thought that if the Legislature
was competent to transact business, the Senate
ought to proceed. If the ^General Assembly
was not competent, then the Senate should ad
journ tine die. He spoke of the gross outrage
perpetrated upon the people in adjourning from
day to day without doing anything, and spend
ing the money of the people.
Mr. Wooten sustained Mr. Candler’s views,
affirming that the Legislature eonld transact
business, because the acts had been recognized
as legal, and no interdict had ever been leaned
against their action. The General Assembly
had no right to adjonm from day to day and in
vade r the Treasury of the State. It was boldly
asserted in Congress that the expenditure of the
present Legislature exceeded that of any other
ever assembled. As there-^vas.a difference of
opinion on tho subject, the best course to pursue
is to adjonro, subject to be called together upon
the completion of legislation by Congress, and
in the meantime let the people’s money alone.
Mr. Higbee favored adjournment.
Campbell (15th amendment) didn't like the
freqnent allusion to the tax-payers of Georgia.
His bnrden seemed to be that the Radical party
was not responsible for the inaction of the Gen
eral Assembly, bnt upon those who blocked the
wheels of government.
[Campbell went cn to Washington to prevent
the passage of the Bingham amendment, if we
mistake not.]
Ma. Harris would not charge the Democrats
with speaking for bnneombe, but he charged
that the responsibility of the present condition
of affairs in Georgia rested upon Candler &
Wooten, and that their act in expelling the ne
gro members cost one thousand millions of dol
lars. If Congress did not act, he was willing
to go forward and legislate; or if she did act, he
was ready to do the same.
Mr. Speer offered, as an amendment to Har
ris’ resolution to adjourn, “that the members of
the General Assembly draw no per diem daring
the recess.”
President Conley rnled that it was an adjourn
ment, and not a recess, and therefore the amend
ment was out of order.
Mr. Smith, of tho 7th, favored adjournment,
and taking the 89 per diem as long as ho eonld
get it. If the Legislature adjourns sice die,
“we” don't know when “we" will come-back.
If the Legislature adjourned sine die, he favored
not drawing the per diem mileage.
Mr. Candler—Doesn't tho railroads farnish
yon free passes ?
The resolution to adjourn until Monday next,
at 12 o’clock, si., prevailed.

On motion of Mr. Darnoll, the calling of the
roll was dispensed with. ,
The clerk read the journal of yesterday’s

Mr. Darnell offered a resolution amending
the 17th rule, so as to make it read “majority”
instead of two thirds. Also, changing tho lOth
rule, so as to read Cushing’s Manna', instead
of Jefferson’s. These resolutions went over
under the roles. •
Mr. Tweedy, from the committee appointed
to wait on the Governor, reported that Govern*
or Bullock wonld communicate with the Gen
eral Assembly to-day in writing.
On motion of Mr. Darnell, the Governor’s
commnnicetion was read. (See Senate proceed
ings.)
Mr. Scolt asked to know who Rufus B. Bul
lock was, as there was no official signature to
tho communication, and move 1 to lay the Gov
ernor’s communication on the table. Defeated.
Messrs. McDougald and Pate were granted
leaves of absence on account of sickness in their
families. Mr. Page was also granted leave of
absence.

Lively Times.—The negro population of Tal
lahassee must have had a jolly time Inst Mon
day. Tho Floridian says:
Notwithstanding (be rain, which continued to
fall nearly the entire day, the streets wore fill
ed with crowds of people from the country, who
amused themselves in various ways—some
drinking whisky, \ others fighting, and others
still blowing horns and making all the fuss they

Point.
WHAT JA0NICAD01I THINKS ABOUT IT.
The New York Sun has a moving picture
of the sufferings of the aristocracy at . West
Point from Ethiopian sources at the recent
examination. Madison Square was outraged
and the labors of Lubin and Phalon were vain.
We quote so muoh:
TREATMENT OF THE BLACKS ON DRILL.
The bitterest feelings on this bitter subject
are experienced and expressed by the ladies,
especially those who have relatives among the
cadets. During an evening drill of the new
class, which has broken into squads for that
purpose, there was one squad of four, com
posed of the two colored boys and two white
boys. This squad attracted the particular at
tention of the ladies and gentlemen who were
scattered around the drill ground looking at
the evolutions.
—It was plainly to be seen that the two white
boys considered it a degradation to be classed
and drilled with the negroes, and that the ne
groes were couscious of the ill-feelings with
which they were on all hands regarded.—
Whenever the cadets were allowed to stand at
ease and converse, the two boys would turn
their backs on their colored comrades and act
as though they were unconscious of their pres
ence ; and the ignored blacks would stand iso
lated on the field, without a single word or
look of sympathy or companionship. This
state of things was of course noticed by the
spectators; and was made the snbject of much
discussion.
, “It’s cruel to send those boys here,” said
one benevolent looking old gentleman to a
young lady who seemed to be his daughter.
“You see what their fate will be. They'll
be left out in the cold through their four
years.”
A SWEET TEMPERED ANGEL.
“I’m glad of it, and I hope they’ll freeze to
death,” spitefully responded the young lady.
“What business have they to come here?
Let ’em stay home where they belong. Would
you like to have Fred drilling alongside of
them ? I should die to sec him in such a dis
graceful position.”
Soon afterward a couple of elderly ladies,
who seemed : to mistake us for a harmless
country pastor, began to acquaint us with their
sentiments on tho negro cadet questisn.
“It is terrible to think what we are coming
to,” said one of them. “There’ll be no escap
ing from the black people anywhere if things
go on at this rate. They’ll be in our parlors
and everywhere!”
“How so?” we asked. “How can they get
into our parlors? '
“I mean in onr public parlors. Don’t you
see that when we have negro cadets that their
sisters and mothers will be coining to see
them here 1. And the cadets, will attend the
hops and balls, and their sisters and other
black girls will attend them too. Oh! it will
be
HORRID !**
The old 1 idy was nearly evercomc with emo
tion at the picture of negVobelles tripping it on
the_light fantastic toe at the West Point hops,
which her imagination conjured up. Wishing
to soothe her, we said:
“Well it is not worth while to trouble our
selves about the matter. Per Imps these
black boys willl not pass the examination.
The futuro will take care of itself.”
“No it wont,” she emphatically replied.
“We have got to take care of the future our
selves. We must fix things so there can be
no negroes sent here. We must elect a Dem
ocratic President, and then wc shallihave no
more of this. Our folks have 'always been
Republicans; but if things are going on in
this way, my husband will turn Democrat.”
“Sure enough,” we thought, as we walked
away, “who knows but what this intensely
provoking business, which seems to stir ail
sorts of people from the very bottom of their
hearts, raay dominate the next Presidential
election?” •
WHAT A HANDSOME LADY SAID.
When it became known on Taesday that
Smith had passed the examination, and that
forty-seven white boys andyoung men, includ
ing the sons of Governors and other notables,
had been rejected, the bitterness of feeling
was greatly intensified.
“It is a regular Abolition plot,” said ar.
elegant lady at the hotel. “The idea that
white boys are not equal to a black boy is all
nonsense. That Beast Butler is at the bot
tom of the whole thing. He wants to be
President, and expects the niggers to elect
him.”. .
“General Butler had nothing to do with
the examination,” we suggested; “and the
officers here are incapable of showing partial
ity to any one.”
“Bnt it was managed somehow. They
needn’t tell mo that a nigger is so much
smarter than forty whites. It was managed
somehow.
“But Howard, the black boy from Missis
sippi, has been rejected. Does not that look
as though the examination was fair, and the
decision impartial ?” *
“Of course, it wonld not do to pass both
the black boys at tho same time, but the
other will soon bo back here, you may depend
on it. ’’ . ! ’ „" - ' ;

The leaders pi the Washington Radicals, it is
said, aro making extonsivo arrangements for
stumping the Sonthern the among all.—
They aro marshaling their torooa who are most
glib of tonguo, persevering and unscrupulous;
and by the aid of-the terror-inspiring militia of
Governor Holden and like influences, they ex
pect to carry North and South Carolina, but de
spair of Georgia, Alabama and Tennessee. Yet
n gentleman, who is just from tho North State,
has better hopes. He informs ns that the can
vass is taxing warm in that State, and that the
Conservatives are confident of being able to se
cure a majority of the legislature and members
of Congress in the August election. He says
that ho has never soen more determination on
the part of tho substantial portion of the peo
ple, than is now evinced by tho business men of
evtpry section of North Carolina. They 5earn at
last resolved to rid their State of Radical rale,
and give it a fair show in the race of Spates for
population, material wealth, and political free
dom.
Holden, in his desperation, is mainly depen
dent upon his loyal militia for success, but he
has no idea that a people so thoro’nghly aroused
aro to bo frightened from their duty by this
malignant inuitary organization. Uo far from
being terrified by the faot that dhose. predatory
bands are led by the nefarious Kirk, whose
name is a synonym of ont-lawry, murder and
blood, it will bnt incito the Conservatives every
where to the performance of more determined
deeds , in behalf of that poor, down-trodden
State.
A pitiable sight is described by a correspon
dent of tho Richmond Enquirer—that of ihe
pigmy offspring of Stephen A. Douglas sport
ing Holden’s military livery at Greensboro, and
making himself conspicuously odious to a peo
ple who honored and respected his great sire
when living.—Pittsburg Post rt*
The business of baby-farming is presenting
itself in England in the most horrible manner,
forcing a slow and tardy movement on the part
of tho authorities to break np its worst devel
opments. It is ovideut, from constantly recur
ring circumstances, that.the terrible revelations
on the stuuo subject made at a tiir.l in France
a year ago Cottld bo quito equalled by a full
statement of what goe* on at the English baby-
farms. Within a few weeks past, no less than
sixteen dead infants have been found In one
locality, tho prodttcls of a single flourishing
baby-farming establishment at Brixton. The
police pick them np by the roadside; children
at play find them hidden under brush and
wood, and the bodies of tho murdered inno
cents are discovered.thrown about everywhere.
Even burial is too mneh trouble and expense.

been no effective attempt made to suppress the
business. One woman is now in jail to await

but the desertions ol dead infants from the va
rious establishments continues with (he same
frequency. There is no eiidenco that these
babies are poisonf-d.br killed outright, as in the
esse of the French nurses; but starvation and

Newspaper Property—Wliat It Is.
AVe clip the following from the San Francisco
Morning Call:
The St Louis Democrat, a few days after the
destruction of the Republican newspaper es
tablishment, by fire in that city, made some
comments in reference to the value of the good
will of a newspaper, which may be interesting
to the public. It sijs: -
‘"The Missouri.Republican is worth over half
a million of dollars, but all the property belong
ing to the establishment which fire can destroy
is worth scarcely more than one hundred thou
sand dollars. If there was not a cent of in
surance, and if all that eonld be destroyed were
a total loss, the paper wonld nevertheless be
issued again in a few days, with the same circu
lation, the same revenue, the same influence,
and would be worth jnst us much money as be
fore, the only I033 being the sum required to re
place the building and material. What other
property is so impregnable? What other in
stitution can lose everything visible and tangi
ble belonging to it and still be worth as much
as before ? There is something here worthy of
reflection.
“Ihe value of the newspaper is in the confi
dence, esteem and regard in which it is held by
the people who enjoy, rely upon, or use it.
That is the bulk of the property, and with a
great and well established newspaper all else is
of trifling value in comparison. That property
nothing can destroy or lessen in value, except
in mismanagement by iis owners themselves.
All the rivals in Christendom oannot destroy it;
that can only lessen the receipts of the circula
tion of the xia... r i^.-ome small degree, and for
a little time. That was tried in Chicago, where
a corps from the Tribune seceded, and have
ever since been trying, by menus often dishon
orable to break down tnat great paper. Rebuilt,
it is stronger than ever. So it has been in other
cases, too numerous to mention, The rival
sometimes gains foothold and becomes a per
manent institution, if there is room and public
demand ; but the neat growspaper, once estab
lished, can never be broken down, nor when
conducted with ability and fidelity to public in
terests, can it be seriously impaired in value or
shaken in influence. If men of one class leave
it, men of another class, in even larger nnmber,
espouse its cause. Its value and..influence
grows with the growth of the conntry—provided
it serves the public interest. This is the one
condition of perpetual growth and increase of
power. Now, a newspaper serves the public in
terest mainly by gathering and giving to the
public news. Its editorial oondnet is a matter
of secondary consequence as concerns its growth
and prominence. Feople value it first for its
news, afterwards for its counsels. And again,
its editorial conduct serves the pnblio in many
ways apart from ils political coarse. It urges
improvements, calls attention to a thousand
necessary reforms, guards public morals, assails
corruption, peculation and injustice. The more
independent and impartial it is in the discharge
of these duties, the greater will be the confi
dence of the people in it and the esteem of the
people for it. Those who assail its political
course will nevertheless value a truly great news
paper for the inestimable services.which it ren
ders to the. public in other directions. And
finally its political influence can be broken or
diminished only by want of sense or integrity
in its management. So long as it represents
with ability and faithfulness an element in pnb-
lio opinion, so long will its supporters increase
in number.
This paragraph appeared in a great journal—
the Democrat—which, next after the Republi
can, is perhaps the most valuable newspaper
published in the Mississippi Valley. The Mis
souri Republican, the Cincinnati Commercial,
the Missouri Democrat, and the New Orleans
Picayune, aro the most valuable journals on te
Ohio and Mississippi rivers, and if we add o
these the Chicago Tribnne, and perhaps the
Oourier-Jonrual, published in Louisville, we
have the most valuable journals published in
the United States, if we except a few papers
published in New York, Boston, Philadelphia
end Baltimore. It was not onr purpose, how
ever, to make comments concerning any journal
except the Missouri Republican, which, it is
said, is worth half a million dollars. The Re
publican is an old journal, and has probably
been worth the sum stated -for twenty years
past, and is to-day worth nearer one million dol
lars than any smaller sum. Tho Republican
unquestionably pays an income of one hundred
thousand dollars annually to its proprietors,
which is the interest on that amount at ten per
cent. Toe Republican has lost several of its
managers—Chambers and Paschal in particular
—who were exceedingly energetic, bnt Knapp
has been connected with the establishment at
least ever since 184G, and the paper has at all
times been a most valuable property. Notwith
standing its competitor, the Democrat, at times
h_a ueon pushed with vigor, and perhaps had
the advantage daring the war, the Republican
has,-nevertheless, held its ascendency, and is
to-day one of the great newspapers of the
United States.
IIow Coffee fs Cultivated.
The manner of cultivating the coffee plant
vafles but little in the several Central American
States, and a short sketch of how their favorite
beverage is produced may be interesting to all
good coffee-drinkers. • -
The coffee-beans are first planted in hot-beds,
from which; in a few months, they sprout and
shoot np five or six inches high, when they are
removed singly and taken to the fields which
have been prepared to receive them. There the
young sprouts are planted anew, in tows, with a
space of from four to six feet between each
plant. For two years they need no more eare,
except an occasional ploughing out of the weeds
which spring up around them. The third year
tko plant is from three to four feet high and
commences to bear, producing about a pound of
coffee fruit Each year adds to tlie size and
productiveness of the tree, till it reaches nbout
ton feet in height, after which it gives a product
of from twenty to thirty pounds of green fruit.
Tho coffee fruit resembles iu shape, size and
color a pluifap cranberry, and grows clinging
closely to the small, lateral branches of the tree;
so that the hand can at once strip off. the fifty
or more beniep a. branch may bear. On some
plantations, the. trees are dwarfed, for tho
double purposes of increasing the fruitage and
facilitating the picking.
Tho time of picking the crop varies, accord
ing to tho locality, but ranges from December
to March, When tile fruit is ripe, all hands are
employed—men, women and • children—:md as
fast, as picked tho berries are sent to the mills,
which, arrangod something like corn-shellers, re
move the pulpy coverings—leaving the kernels,
which are immediately spread out in the sun to
dry. _ At this time the skies are watched careful
ly, and in cate of rain, the kernels are rapidly
gathered under shelter, as rain upon them while
drying would cause an irreparable injury; and
on some plantations, machines for drying by
hot air have been introduced. After a few
days in tho sun, the kernels become dty and
crispy; they are then thrown into a circular
trough; and large wooden rollers, shod with
iron, ordsh the shell, and liberate the two beans
which each shell contains. The bean has still
another coating—its skin—which is the hardest
of all to remove, but, through long continued
attrition with the iron-shod rollers, this also is
mostly removed, and then tho fanuing-mill
cleans tho bean by blowing away the loosened
skin and broken shells.
But the most expensive part of (ho process
is dow to come. Before long tallies sit the na-
tives, yonng and old, chattering, laughing and
singing as they work, and on these tables aro
poured the beans as they como from Ihe funning-
milL Each Indian holds a basket in his or her
lap, and with both hands rapidly picks out, sep
arately, every perfect bean, tilt there remains
on tho table nothing bnt broken and imperfect
■coffee, of no value. The hands are paid, at
this work, so much per quintal, of one hundred
pounds, and skillful pickers mttko good wages.
It takes six hundred and sixty • pounds of the
fruit, as it comes from the tree, to produce ouo
hundred pounds of clean, marketable cofi'ee—
and yet it pays.—Ocerlarul Jfun'Juy.
