Senator BUI on tlio War Pallt
ly Times Ahead.
We think the signs of another fierce fight
among tho faithful in this State over principle,
of course, i. e. plunder, are thickening every
day. Bullock and Blodgett must gird up their
loins, and get ready for the fray, or else make
up their minds to eat at the second table. We
Bee that Clift, that superfine, XXXX, double
and twisted loyalist, and Bullockite of the first
water, has been thrown overboard as Postmaster
at Savannah, and C. K. O3good, ex-member of
tho Agency from Chatham county, and a deter
mined foe to the B.’s, nominated in his place.
This is one sign.
And now wo hoar that the trooly loil Kobb,
Collector of Customs at Savannah, has lost tho
number of his mess, and is out of a job, his suc
cessor being announced asCoL John Bowles,
son-in-law of Senator Josh HilL Mr. Hill is
also credited with Clift's kicking out; so it ap
pears that he has not been idle since his admis
sion—at least in paying off old scores against
tho Bullockites. That ho should do this is not at
all surprising, and on the whole is rather com
mendable, considering the character of those
whoso heads he has demanded, and the indubita
ble proof of his staunchness as a Grant man that
his son-in-law’s nomination offers. How could
Grant fail to recognize suoh a proof of fidelity
and admiration as that ?
Now, what aro Bullock and Blodgett and their
crowd going to do about this ? Will they ao
oept tho gago of battle thus defiantly tendered
by Mr. Hill, or will they lower their colors and
abandon tho field? We tell them that Mr. Hill
never does things by halves, and that he has
an Indian’s memory for injnriesreoeived. They
have fought a strong fight to crash him, and
if wo are not greatly mistaken he will make a
stronger one to crush them. They have sought
to cheat him of office and honor fairly won.
and the way for him to get even is to make a
dean sweep of all tho Federal pap-suckers in
Georgia who owe their offices to tho influence cians,
and recommendation of his enemies. We shall
see of what sort of metal Bullock and Blodgett
are made for a fight against Senator Hill—a
friend of tho President’s, and occupying the
vantago-ground of a voice and vote on every
nomination that comes before the Senate. They
assaulted him right gallantly when he was out
side. Will they dare a3 much now that ho is
inside?
It’s none of our affair, but we hope they will.
In their decision lies the germ of a very pretty
quarrel, and wo stand ready,-as an impartial
spectator, to cry brave and roe vietis with equal
equanimity. If the fight assumes the character
popular ascribed to that of the Kilkenny felines
we shall endeavor to bear even that result with
serene resignation. The Treasury rats all over
Georgia who, in any way, aided or abetted the
war of tho Bullock and Blodgett faction upon
Mr. Hill, had better nibble’fast, for wo verily
believe hard times and scanty rations are likely
soon to bo their portion. What an impressive
moral spectacle would be presented if they should
all laavo to como out of their snug holes, and what
tho deuce would they do for a living, now that
Blodgett no longer runs the State road? The
bare thought is too much for our tender sensi
bilities, „and we hasten to dismiss the subject.
To Fence in or Ont ?
In tho Agricultural Convention yesterday a
very spirited discussion arose on the question
ctlf -Sie relative economy of fencing stock in or
out; and, as might well be anticipated, the
grazing and-the Agricultural counties held ex
actly opposite conclusions. For, where grazing
is tho main interest, it is manifest economy to
fence in crops.; and vico versa whore cropping
is tho main business. Then the attempt to
compromise views by a system of special legis
lation for counties, sprang, at once, the difficul-
ty of reconciliating the opposite plans wherever
they met. In order to talk over this matter in.
telligently, we ought to know, approximately,
what is the amount of plantation fencing in
Georgia, and what does it cost yearly to keep
it up? What is tho number and value of tho
stock produced from natural grazing? Lotus
see how these interests compare in value.
Spanish Finances—Amadeus.
A Madrid correspondent of tho New York Sun
says that Sagasta borrowed $2,500,000 at the
rate of one per cent, a month to pay January
coupons, and gave three month’s bills on Lon
don scouring them by a collateral deposit of
Treasury notes bearing six per cent, interest,
and hypothecated at the rate of forty-five per
cent of their par value. Tho correspondent
says:
In fact Mr. Sagasta, the Finance Minister, is
at his wits’ end to get along at aff. The official
allowance mado to Amadeus is $1,500,000
yefj, or $125,000 a month. Of this, $1,200,000
a year js the King’s salary; $100,000 is the al
lowance to his infant son, now ten years old;
and $200,000 a year is given him to support tho
royal palaces.
It was reported not long since in the public
journals of Madrid, that Amadeus had resolved
to content himself with one-half of this great
income; In other words, that ho had remitted
to tho treasury three-quarters of a million out
of his first year’s pay. This report was a pure
fiction. Instead of remitting anything, he in
sists on being paid in full. His pay for tho
month of January, $125,000, ho required to be
given him in advance; and no sooner had he
squeezed the money out of the last faint relics
of cash in tho treasury, than he hastened to re
mit $50,000 of it to Florence. This looks as
though ho did not regard his stay in Spain as
certain to bo permanent, and was resolved to
prepare against tho worst by putting out an
anchor to windward.
Tboubi.es op the Co An Trade.—Tho last three
or four years have been signalized by ceaseless
extortion and constant fuss in the Northern coal
markets. Miners’ strikes and operators' com
binations together, have fairly skinned the peo
ple, and imposed an untold amount of suffering
on tho poor during the herd Northern winters.
And just now as tho long strike by tho “miners’
union” has oamo toja close, tho Now York papers
of Monday announce that the people are threat
ened with a “ coal famine” by reason of a com
bination between operators and railway compa-'
nies in putting an. exorbitant freight tariff on
Lehigh and Susquehannah coal. All this series
of troubles has arisen since the reciprocity
treaty with Canada was annulled and provincial
coal was shut out of tho Northern markets by
tariff duties. Tho remedy, it seems to us, lies
in admitting colonial dnty free. That will
steady the market and put an end to all strikes
and combinations.
English Women op the Dat.—The Saturday
Review complains that among tho aristocratic
ladies of Great Britain, the habit of drinking to
the point of intoxication is becoming common,
andadds:
“We aro sensible of a distinct moral relaxa
tion among women, and of a new sort of unwo
manly recklessness in the presence of men. We
complain of a prevalent coarseness even among
the virtuous, not only of manner, but of imag
ination and pnrsnits, and wo aro sometimes
tempted to prefer the age of Nell Gwynne or
Madame de Pompadour to the actual confusion
of dare-devil women and unabashed spinsters.
It would seem that alcohol has something to do
with this disorder, for the physical effects of it
on women are proved by medical investigation
to be precisely what would denaturalize them.

Tlio Joint High Commission.
The Washington correspondent of tho Herald
of Monday repeats tho assertion that the “feel
ing among prominent parties in Washington,
without distinction of party is univerally in
favor of tho idea that no settlement of our differ
ences with Great Britain will be satisfactory to
tho poople of tho United States, so long as the
British flag as the symbol of monarchy remains
upon this Continent.” Ho says that Howard’s
resolution before tho Senate does not go far
enough and will be substituted by a more much
sweeping invitations to Great Britain to have
the North American continent
He states further, that “before both govern
ments agreed to the appointment of a joint
High Commission, it was arranged between Mr.
Fish and Sir Edward Thornton as a preliminary
basis of negotiation that tho British govern
ment would agree to pay from fifteen to twenty-
two millions of dollars and cede British Colum
bia to the United States in consideration of the
Alabama claims. As an offset to the money
matter, however, the counter claims of British
subjects would como in.” But as these offsets
would probably consume tho whole indemnifica
tion money, the acquisition of British Columbia
would be too small ^balance, and tho “feeling’
in Washington circles is, that if Great Britain
does not consent to withdraw her flag from this
Continent the Commission cannot come to any
satisfactory settlement, and certainly without
such concession no convention which the Com
mission may arrange will receive the sanction
of the Senate.
And as if to give more prominence to tho
matter the same number of the Horald editor!
ally declares it to bo the universal feeling
among public men in Washington, and which
ia but a reflex of the popular feeling throughout
tho United States, that no permanent, cordial
and friendly relations between America and
England can be established until the British
flag shall cease to float as an emblem of power
over any portion of this Continent. If that is
the “feeling” the Joint High Commission will
result iu nothing better than fanning tho flame
of discord and leaving the two countries to drift
into war under the manipulations of the politi
A war would doubtless leave the Ameri
can Government in possession of all tho British
Provinces, but secured at a monstrous price of
blood, money, and public demoralization.

The Staley-Hungerfobd Affair.—Monday
evening Mrs. Fogarty, the keeper of the house
in which Sue Hungerford had been well nigh out
to pieces, appeared at the Police Barracks in
great trepidation, dressed in mala costume, and
demanded protection for her household. She
was evidently very much excited, and very
eager that a police guard should be detailed for
her relief. She told the officer in command that
Mr. John A. Staley had called at her house that
evening and demanded -certain papers which he
alleged had been left in Sue *Hungerfofd’s
chargo. Mrs. Fogarty said she knew nothing of
thorn, bnt wonld go in and inqnire, and if the
papers were there he should have them. Ho
then demanded admission to Sue Hungeford’s
room, stating “ it was all right, and hemust see
her anyhow.” Mrs. Fogarty demurred, stating
that in her present weakened condition Sue
ought not to seo anybody, least of all him. At
this point Mrs. F. noticed the gleam of a knife,
and said, “God bless me! what is that?” “It’s
tho knife that my wife ent her with," replied
Staloy; “bnt never yon mind—that’s all right.
I want to seo you privately. Step back here
for a moment.” Perfectly terrified, Mrs. Fo
garty complied with his request, and asked him
what he wanted. “In the first place,” said
Staley, “I want yon to promise mo solemnly
that you won’t swear against mo, whatever yon
do, or if you do it will ba the worse for you.”
Mrs. Fogarty assured him that “whatever she
might have to say when called upon for her evi
dence, it should bo the truth.” Staley again
cautioned her to “mind what she was about,”
and a visitor knocking for admission gave Mrs.
Fogarty tho chance to escapo to her room,
assnme male attire, and hasten with all speed
to the Police Barracks, where her story was
soon told. Suo Hungerford yet remains in a
very precarious state. In her deep distress she
has found many personal friends eager to ad
minister to her relief and assistance. Her re
covery may be regarded as extremely problem
atical.

After the reading of the report Mr. Samuel
Barnett, of Wilkes, was introduced, and pro
ceeded to deliver a clear, concise and practical
address on the very important subject of Labor;
on the conclusion of which CoL Frank Schaffer,
of Clarke county, delivered the following ad
dress :
Mr. President and Gentlemen of the Conven
tion:
The subject of immigration has occupied the
attention of this body sineo its reorganization.
A bill was drafted in 18G9 and presented to the
State Legislature, which provided a thorough
system of agencies, both here and in Europe.
Its main object was the encouragement of
actual settlers, but it extended official aid and
protection to all proper emigrants.
The system of spreading information in this
State and the duties of the officers to be ap
pointed were carefully defined, while the dis
bursement of the funds required and the chief
supervision of tho entire department were con
fided to three prominent citizens of the State,
a Board of Immigration, honorary officers,
whose actual expenses and a per diem during
the time officially engaged were to be paid.
This Board was to meet every three months,
inquire into the conduct of the department, and
to report to the Governor fonr times a year.
In place of this bill, the Legislature adopted
one entirely different Tho important feature
of the State Board appointed was omitted; a
feature to which the Commissioner of your
honorable body attached especial importance.
In the new bill no sort of supervision over the
agents was provided; the agents might prove
to be incompetent, or pursue a wrong system—
they could not be removed or chocked.
I believe that to the departure of the Legisla
ture from the spirit of the bill so carefully con
sidered by this Society, the chief cause of tho
scanty results apparent, may be ascribed.
Yet, I cannot but entertain the opinion that
the labors of the Commissioners elected must
have resulted in some good. I perceive from
their report that a very grave erase intervened
to frustrate their exertions; the unfortunate
political condition of the State at the time—
and above all the serious injury done the fair
reputation of our State by tho proclamations of
tho Governor.
This Sooiety, through whose agency tho sub-
j&ct of immigration into Georgia was brought
prominently before the world, nevertheless has
no part in any failure that may be deplored.
To-day the bill which was repudiated by your
body no longer exists. The road is open for a
renewed effort by the Society itself, which if
made, I confidently believe will result in n
hearty co-operation of the next State Legisla
ture.
It is therefore respectfully suggested to this
body to revive tho Society’s Immigration biff
of 18G9 ; to create a special Department of Im
migration of the State Agricultural Society and
to apply to the Legislature for a suitable sum
in aid of that department. Under tho super-
vision of your Executive Committee, and in tho
hands of men practically acquainted with tho
business, complete success must follow.
As I have recommended at various times for
the past five years, the great object of tho de
partment should bo the introduction’of actual
settlers. Laborers and servants to relievo the
necessities of the planters would follow them.
Where these wants are urgent and the money can
be raised to advance the p&ssago money, and
the difficulties are passed which may be expeot-
ed, this system will be found a valuable adjunot,
but my experience has taught me that upon this
basis alone a permanent and steadily increasing
immigration will not be established.
When yon induce a man to go into a new
country in order to become an owner of tho soil,
you make him at once a participant in the weal
or -woe of the State. Almost insensibly to him
love for his new fatherland will spring np in his
heart and gradually it becomes so stroDg that he
would not abandon that soil even for the home
of his fathers. He will bear cheerfully with
any temporary check to his prosperity, and even
serious misfortunes will not dishearten him.
The laborer or servant on the other hand, de
pendent at the best, having no interest in his
employer's welfare, attached to nothing but his
monthly wages, will easily be discouraged by
any slight trouble that may befall him, which,
to the other would have appeared but a trifle.
From that moment a desire to change rises in
his breast. . With an enlarged knowledge of tho
was found in the road.with a out over his right | country and its conditions, he desires highor
nine cases out of a hundred no kindness he ever
received will detain him. And if he have or
imagines to have, any senou3 erase of com
plaint against tho people, the climato, or tho
food he receivod, he will not fail to spread the
most injurious reports, to the permanent injury
to the locality wbero he received tho first aid
to escape from a condition which consigned him
to the most wretched misery.
The next wo hoar of him ho has joined his
countrymen out West.
Thi3 picture is not overdrawn, that has been
the result in many of our States since the war,
and thero are no doubt gentlemen upon this
floor.who can bear testimony to it I grant that
where you introduce large bodies at once, and
especially take care that you have among them
a certain number of young women so as to
create inducements for family life among them,
many of these ovil results might be lessened or
even entirely avoided. This leads me to hope
that those settlements winch have been made in
some parts of our State, will go on to prosper,
as I learn they do, with great satisfaction.
But when you combine the two systems, in
troduce actual settlers and laborers together,
immigration is sure to be made permanent and
highly profitable to all concerned.
This I illustrated in Virginia, where, when I
at first began to send actual settlers no demand
whatever for labor existed. But, nevertheless,
these actual settlers were in some cases accom
panied, in other cases followed, by laboring
men. The introduction of actual settlers created
a demand for additional labor. Where, on the
contrary, only laborers were sent it was found
exceedingly difficult to find for them anything
to do in the part of the State they went to, and
they soon returned North to seek work else
where.
As to the greater material value of actual
settlers over mere laborers to our State, in de
veloping its resources and increasing its taxable
property, this is so patent to me that I desire
to say but little. Another practical illustration:
Sixty-four actual settlers whom I officially di
rected from the 15t of March to the 15th of June,
1879, from Hamburg, Germany, por steamer to
Virginia, brought to that State, besides great
amounts of household effects, clothing, seeds,
and farming utensils, 134,000 Frassian dollars
in cash. Sixty-four imported laborers would have
brought nothing; yet involved an outlay of
somo $3340 cash.
Again, tho settlements made by actual set
tlers. : I sent to Lunenburg county, Virginia,
raised the value of renl estate in that connty
one hundred par cent in less than a year, and
increased tho income of tho State from that
county many thousand dollars in cash.
What effect wonld a like amount of laborers
have had in these respects ? Has Jones county
in this State experienced a rise in the value of
real estate in consequence of the immigration
into it, and how much additional income has
tho State Treasury derived from it, are ques
tions well worthy of consideration.
I leave this subject now and will say but
a few words concering the way in which emi
gration must be worked in Europe; which will
probably interest you.
The procurement of emigrants is a matter of
business; emigration is a simple business trans
action, and must be treated as such; all those
concerned iu it must seo something to bo made
out of it, otherwise there must be failure.
No matter how great your sympathy with a
Frenchman may be, if yon can’t see that will ho
bo of servieo to you yon won’t pay his passage
money and employ him; nor would ho como,
however he might admire you, if he saw no
prospect of bettering his condition.
Per contra, no matter how muoh a German
with money in hand, might be told that he
would do hotter out West, if you can convince
him that he will make more money here, he will
invest here. And you will soil to any one that
will meet your conditions, as every business man
wonld do. It was a difficult matter for mo to get
a foot-hold in Germany upon tho plea which I
advanced, that my countrymen would have the
better chance with us; but after I had succeed
ed in inducing the first settler to go South,
when he found the land was good, ho bought
it; when he found the people treated him
kindly, received him with Southern enthusiasm
even, he reported back enthusiastical'y and
the work was commenced.
All over the Continent there exists regularly
licensed immigration agents ; men, who every
often make that their sole business; who will
for a commission try to fill the order you give
them. Everything is system on the Continent;
and only through the medium of these agencies
emigrants mtl$ be obtained; no matter, whether
yon wish servants, laborers or actual settlers.
These agents have to furnish bonds to the
government to give security for the following:
1. That they will faithfully apply tho money
entrusted to them by the emigrant for the pro
curement of his passage across the sea in
safe and well provisioned vesseL
Here is to be remarked that no person except
this licensed agent is permitted to make any
ship contract.
2. That they will in no •way persuade persons
to emigrate; but transact business with such
persons only who obtained their government
emigration passes withont which documents no
emigrants aro permitted to leave tho country.
3. That they will recommend only such for
eign countries to the emigrant as are in the
Government’s opinion unobjectionable, and bo-
yond doubt adapted to the successful settlement
of tho outgoing citizen. Any and all transgres
sions of these regulations are visited upon the
emigration agent with severe pecuniary penal
ties. To succeed in interesting any such agent
in a new State seeking immigration, yon must
be prepared to show him that ho runs no risk;
that it is a safe business, and that you are a
safe person to do business with. To get him to
take an interest in directing to you men with
means in order to become actual settlors, you
must hold out to him a commission on the land
which the settler he furnishes yon may pur
chase ; and yon must give him security that
those commissions will be paid him whenever
suoh settlement is made. ’When ho furnishes
yon a laborer he requires his commission at
once; and to secure him that tho commissions
will be paid him for actual settlers, which is
payment in prospecto. Ho will require some
thing more than your personal security; he
will want the security of your State. While,
then, the procurement of mere laborers and
persons, for whose passage money is advanced,
may, withont difficulty, bo undertaken by pri
vate persons and associations, it is already dif
ficult, without official character, to induce labor
ers that pajr their own passage to go to your
State, and totally so without such commission
from your State when yon want to get notual
settlers. Acting tinder such a commission for
Virginia, even tchcn the State was under mili
tary government, (my commission was signed by
Wells) I have uniformly found little or no dif
ficulty in inducing these emigrant agents to
trust my honor that the commission I promised
them would be faithfully paid whenever I re
ceived official notice from Virginia that suoh
settlement had taken place. Tho home emigra
tion agents on the continent being under such
close superrisiou, yon will readily understand
that matters are yet more stringent in the case
of foreign agents. With them the severe laws
existing which construe tho enlisting of emi
grants to he sedition and conspiracy, are rigidly
enforced with from six months to two years
imprisonment. The United States Consnl at
Berlin, Mr. Kreissmam, informed me when I
visited him that these laws had been visited
npon two Northern agents, and that no interpo
sition on his part, or that of tho United States
Minister, conld save them. While no European
continental power, save Russia aud Turkey, re
stricts the free right of any oitizen to emigrate
after the duties to his State are discharged, all
look with a jealous eye upon any attempt to
persuade or entice any ono to leave the country.
An official commission has often given me a
hearing when, os a private agent, I wonld not
have been suffered to optin the subject in be
half of my State. It has often given me access
to official persons, and secured to me civilities
which,as a private agent,I nsver would bavo had.
I havo mado diligent inquiries, and I know no
instance abroad whero a private land company
has been successful. If you ask why? I need only
say that, among other delccatble manoeuvres,
this is owing to the shameful way with which
Northern rascally land-sharks havo plundered
and rained the poor emigrant that entrusted his
all in to their hands. This distrust of American
character extends also tons, and we have to
bear evil consequences of actions in which we
had no part whatever. To steer safely through
all these rocks you will perceive that the agent
whom you entrust with the important mission
of representing ono of your most vital interests
must possess both character and tact. One of
the most serions inconveniences I found in my
endeavors to obtain actual letters existed in this
country. Wherever an emigrant Isent, settled,
the land immediately jnmped np in price, and
I was constantly uncertain' whether tho state
ments I made in regard to tho price of lands in
a certain section of the State was a correct
one at the time that. statement was made. I
found, also, that lands securedat a certain price
by us, which we expected to settle shortly, were
suddenly withdrawn by the owner, who demand
ed a higher price, because the land had not

ger of having tho whole operation swamped.
Tf ' '
’iris uncertainty finally obliged me to tempora
rily close my office, and go to Virginia to endeav
or to straighten up matters. I found there great
inefficiency which can only bo remedied through
sufficient legislative enactments which, I trust,
Virginia Will not be tardy in making, if she does
not wish, to lose greatly in her fine prospects for
immigration, which havo cost years of labor.
To obviate this very serious difficulty, it is pro-
