The address referred to the material in
terests in that section and of the cause of
business stagnation, whioh the President
attributed to the war, the Government, at
its end, becoming seller instead of a
buyer, and, said tbe President, it is writ
ten in tho laws of political economy that
wars aro followed by hard times and pan
ics. Addressing himself to the effects of
the hard times, tho President thought
when the end was reached, and the ex
penses of all, necessarily reduoed, are
less than their receipts, alt will be better

the national finances in the same manner
as in previous speeches made daring his

house, who was taen a Confederate Con
gressman. He politely asked for a night’s
lodging, and Lester refused him and sent
kirn away.”
This statement is unqualifiedly false.
I never refused a Confederate soldier a
night’s lodging or a meal at my honse in
my life. I never saw the day, nor tbe
hour during the war that I would have
done so. I never was at home after I
went to the Confederate Congress, nntil
tbe war closed. My wife refngeed daring
my first session in Congress and we were
not at home any more nntil after the sur
render. My houses and everything else
I bad were destroyed in the meantime.
From early in 1862, nntil I went to Con
gress, I was never at home, except for a
very few days at a time, being absent in
the service. Indeed, I was not at home
when I was eleoted. I state this history
for the purpose of showing that the state
ment before qnoted could not be true. I
do not believe that Mr. Hightower ever
. authorized the statement. If he was ever
turned away from any honse near Mari
etta, it was not mine. If he ever said so,
he must be mistaken in the honse,
for I repeat, in unqualified terms, that
no Confederate soldier was ever denied
tbe hospitality of shelter or food at my
honse. Geo. N. Lester.
The Rome Tribune makes some figures
anent the Congressional race in that dis
trict. It gives Lester Dade, Walker,
Chattooga and Murray counties by ag
gregate majorities of 900, and pnts Fel
ton’s majorities at 4,090, thns landing
the parson at the winning poet by 3,990
majority. This is the lowest estimate,
but the editor's private opinion is that
Felton will have over 5,000. We like to
see a man sanguine. It shows his giz-
zard is in a healthy condition as to eand.
A six year oli boy of the Smith family,

It also casually remarks:
There is only one trouble with the In
dependent editors in tha Seventh. They
were howling against the pareon two
years ago, and their records are now
staring them in tho face. Tbe L e.’s
should bum disenfeotants around them to
keep off unpleasant memories.
All the crops in Thomas county, ex
cept cotton, says tho Times, “are much
better than for many years previous, and
the cotton crop will approach an aver
age. The farmers are nearer all oat of
debt than since 1866, and will come
nearer producing their home supplies.”
The Rome Tribune “regrots to an
nounce the illnesB of onr friend Mijor
Z. B. Hargrove, who has been confined
to his bed for several days. We hope,
however, to soon see him ont again.”
How sweet these “independent” Dam
oerats are on their brethren of the left
wing. Hargrove is the Radical P, M. at
Rome.
In the opinion of the Marietta Journal
the “most absurd. Inconsistent thing we
have seen “lately,” is, for Alex; H. Ste
phens to aooept a Democratic nomination
for Congress and then write a letter “fa
voring organization” and in the next
breath encoarage disorganization and in-
dependentisin In the Seventh distriot. If
this kind of oonsiatenoy, double-dealing
and thimble-riggiDg is held up as a states
man-like example for the “yonng men”

he might lay in the lakes, as the boat was
not in a condition to remain in the bay.
This the authorities refused to allow. The
boat then steamed up the river against

put off after and commenced firing on
the boat—at least fifty shots being fired
at her. No one was hart. The fire was

have been shipped via the M. & B. Rail*
road to Savannah 1,998 bales of the new
crop of cotton, against 149 bales for the
same time last year. These figures show
an increase over the shipments of last
season,, for the same periol, of 1,819
kales.
The Dispatch has the following:
General Cook is opposed to the Green
back party as a party, and claims that
the principles and platform of the green-
backers are the same as those of the
Democratic party. In other words, that
the Democratic party has always opposed
the contraction of the currency by the
Republican party, and believes that tbe
policy of non-taxation of United States
bonds is unjust and illiberal to the labor
ing and tax-paying people of the UnioD.
In hie speech at Vienna, last week, he
advised the greenback advocates to ad

party by attempting, at thiB time, to bnild

advantages already gained and give an
other lease of power to the Republican

The General has attack the key note
of this qaeation. There is neither room

THE GREAT SILVER CONFER*
BHE
A Ctearlasnurjsfibs Benoits
;ei tbs Heeling.
New York Graphic]
The Tribune this morning publishes a
letter from Paris written Immediately af
ter the dose of the International Mone
tary Conference. It gives the clearest
summary of the reenits of that meeting
that has yet reaebed this country, and,
appearing in a gold paper, tt is particu
larly valnable, because it refates every
position that the gold papers have hith
erto taken, and sustains' every position
token by the advocates of remonetization.
The writer brings ont the following
points:
First—Tbe general effect of the con
ference has been to “strike a blow at the
mania for gold mcno-metalism, which
took ita ziae in the congress held in Paris,
in 1867, for tha purpose of unifying the
coinage of the world. The results of
gold mono-metalism in Europe for the
past five years have proved anything bnt
satisfactory, and had it not been for local
political considerations, especially within
the bi-metallic States of tbe Latin Union,
it ie believed that the conference wonld
have resulted in a fall realization or all
the wishes of the United States Govern
ment in calling it."
Second—The conference drew ont “the
first enunciation of general European
opinion on the snbject since tbe ill-
advised action of Germany following tbe
Francc-Prussian war.”
Third—The declaration with which the
conference closed “calls a decided halt in
the movement for the banishment of sil
ver to the East, as money fit only to be
nsed by barbarous nations, and makes the
future of silver very promising.”
Fonrth—The Eoglish delegates, Mr.
Gosohen, M. P, Mr. Gibbs, formerly
Governor of the Bank of England, and
Sir Thomas Seeeombe, of tha India Of
fice, unexpectedly characterized the con
sequences of German demonetization. In
1871 as most'dlsastrous. They were par
ticularly solioitous respect leg “the evils
already experienced in the commereiial
exchanges between Europe and Asia
through demonetization of silver.”
How Important this was osnbe easily
sees when it is remembered that England
lathe leading mono-metallionation, and
that it is her example and preoept that
the advocates of an exolu3ive gold stand
ard constantly refer ns. Eoglsnd, pro
nouncing “foroibly against the extension
of gold mono-metalism thronghont Eu
rope,’ is indeed an almost startling phe
nomenon. -.J 1
Fifth—France, through her Finance
Minister, declared that ahe only awaited
the favorable moment to reenme the
coinage of silver.
Sixth—The delegates of Holland ware
"divided in opinion, though the weight
of argument and authority was on the
side of silver—M. Vrolik, former Finanoe 1
Minister, who was detained by sickness
in his family, telegraphing to the Con
ference, at its first session, his fall adhe
sion to the bi-metallio position.” - ,
Seventh—Tho United States, Italy,
AnBtria and Russia were for the contin
ued monetary use of silver.
Eighth—“The whole support of gold
mono-metalism came from a group of
small States whose aggregate populations
do not amount to one-half that the least
of the six principal nations supporting
the use of silver.”
Will mono-metalists of the gold order
bear this in mind? The result of the
Conference shows that the single geld
standard has to depend for support on a
few email States. The great nations are
in favor of the money of the world—gold
and silver—while the few petty States
want, for certain local reasons, and ex
clusive gold currency.
Ninth—The reason why a monetary
union oould not be formed was not, as we
have seen, because anyone doubted the
wisdom or expediency o! the continued
use of silver as money, bnt bscanse of
“local, political complications, especially
inside the Latin Union, which rendered
it impossible to obtain a concert of action
in favor of the immediate restoration of
silver. These distnrbing influences were
much stronger than had been supposed,
and made the task of the American dele
gates one of mnch difficulty and delioacy,
and rendered tneir euccees propoitionate-
ly greater. France, which had been de
pended on for strong aisistance, was so
situated with reference to the Latin Union
that it was impossible for her to assume
a position of positive action, and Bel
gium, owing to political changes within
the year, was found to be on tho side of
gold.”
Camp Life Among Hie Memphis
Refugees.
Courier-Jcurnal.1
The neighborhood of Memphis, for
miles around, is dotted with the camps of
refugees who had no money to go further,
and are fed by charity. United States
army tents were provided as far as pos
sible, bnt hundreds are living in rudo
huts, and many have no shelter except
open shed*. Camp Jo Williams, four and
a half miles south of tho city, is the
largest of these settlement*. Its inhab
itant* carried the scourge that tbey
sought to flee from, and the physicians
are trying in vain to stamp it oat. All
caseB are sent to an improvised hospital.
Dr. Nall, the physician in charge, was
attacked, and he had so exhausted him*
self with work that the disease went hard
with him; but be lived through it, and
is again at hiB post. A Camp Jo Williams
resident, writing to a commercial firm in
Louisville, says: “Women in child-birth,
surrounded bylittls ones, quartered in
tents, see one by one pass from their eight
on to the hospital, thence to the grave.
Soon tbe babe is born, yellow as gold ;
the mother lingers a few days and then
she, the last of the household, is pnt un
der ground. We save no women who are
attacked.” In this oamp, it seem*, the
fever is invariably fata! in its effeot on
women, killing them speedily and surely.
Here is an illustration by the same writer:
A woman and her two daughters, aged
fourteen and sixteen, arrived from Mem
phis and applied to him for quarters. He
saw in the girls unmistakable signs of the
fever—a pinkish flash of the face, glassy
eyes and a slight puffiness ofthe skin;
bnt tbey said they felt unusually well.
He gave them a tent next to hiB own. On
tbe following morning they were delirious
and before night wero dead. This is the
letter’s posisoript: “Just now I toted a
fellow to a tent near the hospital. I
have bad men hunting him ell day. He
haa been dodging n°. Ha swears nothing
is the matter with him. His pulse is
135, and the temperatnre is 106. He is
literally bnrniag np. He will be dead by
neon to-morrow.” Late news from this
oamp was of a removal, to get away from
the infection if possible.
SOUTHERN COTTON MILLS.
What a Georgia Town has Gain*
ed hr Them.
Cslumbu* Enquirer] , .
Our mills in the season of 1872-3 took
7,423 bales; in 1877-8 their takings were
12,792, a gain in five years of 5,3G4. The
present season they will consume at least
15.000 bale?. In 1365 there was not a
mill in onr city; all were in ashes, the re
sult of the Federal torch; bnt on the
ruins haTS been erected superb struc
tures, boasting of tbe most improved ma
chinery and employing thousands ol
workmen who earn good wages and swell
tho buiiness of the town. The owners are
men of Southern Jjirth or those of the
North and England who are folly identi
fied with onr land by interest, affiliation
and politic?. Who ia there' who cannot
feel a pride in the enocess of onr indus

“Personsin want of*situation” are

They went to the White'Honse and aaked

“No, he is ont West.”

New Orleans being blockaded by yel*
low feTer,a tremendous rash of goods has
set in for Galveston. The New York
Sun of Tuesday describes an extraordi
nary competition to ship by the City of
Houston:
The carts and tracks began to assent
ble on Saturday night. On Sunday there
were more arrivals, and at 2 o’clock yes
terday morning the “rush” set in in ear
nest. Dry goods, groceries, boots and
shoes, stoves, farniture, carpets, hard
ware, ohemicals, safes, paints, oils, bran
dies, sowing machines, harness—in fine,
every conceivable variety and style of
goods awaited transportation. By 8
o’clock the crowd reached into Broadway,
and by 2 it had extended down the neigh
boring side streets. At a late boor last
evening the carts were still in position,
and their drivers had made preparation
to pass the night on the spot.
Yesterday a chain of caits and tracks
extended from Pier 20, East River, down
Sonth Street to Maiden lane, np Maiden
lane to Broedway, up Broadway to Fal-
ton, down Fulton to William, down Wil
liam to John, and np and down John and
through the side streets in different di
rections. In many places the line con
sisted of two, and even three ranks, and
it was estimated that the tracks, if ar
ranged in single file, wculd extend more
than two miles.
Tbe Moral of Maine.
A great deal continues to be said and
written about tbe “lesson of the Maine
election.” The St. Louis Globs Democrat
eajB it “cannot be too seriously and
promptly taken to heart by the Repnb
lican party.” That lesson, according to
the Globe-Democrat, ie, in substance, to
cease the wrangle over Hayes and go in
tooth and toe-nail for "honest money.’
It aeems to ns there is small occasion for
haBte in this busmes?, for the Republican
party will bare a long time and mnch
leisure to get the leBson, whatever it
may be.
The Globe-Democrat is also equally sure
that the election “means Grant”—the
man on horseback, with few words to
communists and abundance of grape shot.
What all these financial and labor here
sies call for is forcible repression, and
Grant is the man to be employed in the
work by tbe solid capitalists of the na
tion, This heioio remedy might answer
some DurpoBe, geo J or bad, after the
eleolioa, bnt it will not win votes.
The faot is, this “National Labor
Greenback**” tekes its rise in the con-
viotion, (true or false.) that the interests
of the masses have already been sacrificed
to the demands of capita). This is the
root of the danger and trouble, and tbe
lesson” naturally luouloated is that the
demand for more contraction, bsoked by
sternly repressive measures, will not be
particularly wooing and duloet to the
people.
There are also sb many other lesions
drawn from Maine aa there are draughts
men, and none of them very appropriate
or suggestive. It is clear at the^so-
oalled Greenback movement baa its oil
gin in a widespread sense of popular in-
jary and diaaatiefaotiOD. We regard it as
a national reaotion, growing ont of Inju-
dloions financial pressure, too great baste
to push greenbacks to par, regardless of
tberesnlt on property values. Men in
debt for property bought at twice its pre
sent valuation feel wronged. Taxpayers
whose taxes are practically doubled by
this process are indignant. There Is a
general aense of poverty and losa, whioh
is seeking for a cause and a viotim, and
the so-called Republican party, whioh has
aicad’Iy resisted redaction in taxation
and expenses, and. insisted on precipitat
ing the business of oontraotion and re
sumption, may well look ont for storms.
General Joseph Wheeler.—The At
lanta Phonograph haa the following:
The State Fair Association have invi
ted Lieutenant-General Joseph Wheeler,
the renowned Confederate cavalry com
mander, to attend the Fair at Macon, as
President of the Board of Judgea for the
prize drill. General Wheeler is a native
of Angnata, a graduate of West Point,
and anther of a system of “Cavalry Tac
tics.” of great merit. Hjs visit to his
native State, and to the scene of his bril
liant military operations daring the war,
will be hailed with joy by bis old com
rades and friends.
We are glad to state, by authority, that
it is more than probable that General
Wheeler will attend the fair, and many
other distinguished statesmen and celeb
rities also are expected to be present.
Is it Nioholls or Corker?—The ec
centric editor of the Savannah Recorder,
friend Orme, seems to have kicked clean
ont of all sorts of political gearing, and
is a law unto himself. He sympathises,
however, with those marplots, Felton end
Speer, because they are “ranning upon
their merits and individuil views,” while
at the same time it is a confessed fact
that withont the support of the Radical
enemy, they would not stand the ghost o t
a chance to be eleoted.
Now, tbe question appositely obtain?,
how ia it between the nominee of the La-
bor Commune and Mr. Nioboll*, who ia
the ohoioe of the regular Demooracy? Ia
Mr. Orme prepared to endorse the aotion
of the Savannah Socialists and support
their oendidate? We hope not. Order
is Heaven's first law, and withont. union
and organization no headway oan be made
in any earthly undertaking. To desert
the Demooratio party means chaos, and
the nltimete destrnotion of onr liberties.
Who can doubt this in tha light of past
experience ?
New Books.—We have received from
Messrs. L. W. Smith & Co., two new
novels fresh from the press of J. B. Lip-
pincott & Co., Philadelphia. Let ns no
lice them in the order that they were
read.
"Margarelhe, or Life Problems, a Bo
mance from the German of E. Juncker,’
was translated by Mrs. A. L. Wiater,
translator of “The Second Wife,” "Hol
ds,” and other works. It is a story of
great power, and exceedingly fascinating
in styie and incident, yet not each a book
as we conld recommend to the yonng.
There i3 too mnch of infidelity, or to
say the least, latitndinarianlsm in its
page?, and several passages are not
fitted for the eye of virgin parity. Not
that the sequel does not point a proper
moral; bnt then the reader is led to that
result by tortuous paths, andofttimes
the voice of passion and suggested crime
mars the narrative and makes one regret
that such publications should be launch
ed npon the sea of letter?. We concede
genius of a high order to the work, bub
do not endorse its morality or sentiments
in their entirety.
The other volume, which is entitled
“MolliaBawn; By the Author of ‘Phil
lis,’ ” is, in all respects, the very reverse
of “ Margarethe.” It is a cheerful, vi
vacious tale, brimfal of incident, and
largely illustrative o! tho actual home
life of an English girl of good family;
but the innocent victim of cruel relatives,
who had discarded her beoanse of the
•mesalliance of her mothor.
But all 8t length is made to work ont
jnst right, and onr heroine not only gains
her lover bnt inherits the fortune cf her
hitherto implacable grandsire.
It is a long time sinoe we have been as
mnch amused and interested by any work
of fiction. There is a freshness and
knowledge of human nature, and withal,
an abssnoe of everything that savors of
theelightest impropriety throughout the
delightful pages of this work whioh com
mend it to tbe attention and patronage of
the reading publio. Botn of the above
books are for sale by L. W. Smith & Co.;
who have an excellent general stock ot
stationery, light literature, and standard
works on hand, and are most pleasant and
accommodating gentlemen.
A special dispatch yesterday from At*
lanta,aanonnced the fact that despite the
late adoption, in substance, of Mr. Thar-
man’s greenback platform (which all
Southern Democrats can endorse), by the
Barnesvillo convention, another body of
malcontents have convened at the capital
and nominated for CongreEB Col. Reu
ben Arnold, of Fulton. Now, what does
Mr. Arnold and his deluded followers de
sire ? Are they for the commune and the
insane dogmas enunciated by the Corker
party in the First District? Do they
think money can be multiplied at wiil,
and thus everybody grow rioh merely by
Congressional enactment ? Ia labor to be
made to over-ride capital, law and jus-
tioe ? The Red Republicanism and mob-
ocracy of France in their maddest mood to
be inaugurated here ? What would they
have ? We have an abiding confidence
that in thia Southern land, where the
rights of all men are respected alike and
labor is cot only considered honorable,
but the beet blood ofthe country reduced
to poverty by the war, are cow hard at
work, oo considerable body of oar citi
zens will sympathize in any such foolish
and revolutionary movement?, if, indeed,
snch are projected.
It is sad to witness these dissen
sions and divisions in tho ranks of the
Democracy, j ast when victory had perch
ed upon their battle-scarred standards,
and the counliy began to hope for a new
era of peace and prosperity. Bat it must
siot be. * Wo call upon every true patriot
of both races to stand by tbe organized
democraoy and crush ont these piebald,
wretched factions, and a 1 ! independents
who are merely seeking their personal ag-
grandizement.

Washington special to Boston Herald]
It is pretty clear that national banks
will have to go. Both patties are anxiona
to declare them no friends of theirs.
Secretary Sherman, in his interview tele
graphed last night, has expressed an opin
ion that they should be legislated out. of
existence. In this ha ia only making
haste to range himself with what he hears
or believes is popular \ sentiment. As
John Sherman is the Administration, in
far as inflaenoe goes, it is now certain
that any proposition to abolish national
banks will not ba vetoed. Congress will
hardly be ressiombled when bills to abol
ish national banks will be introduced by
the score, and, in the present condition
of demoralized political sentiment, rail
roaded.

A Collapse in Benoal.—To add to tbe

liabilities for some time, and, in conse

Weather and Crime.—The Herald,

The Latest Greenback Accessions.—
The Sun Washington correspondent says
Secretaries Sherman and Evarts, aa has
been noted, said after the Maine election
that the greenbackers wonld abeoib tbe
Democratic party. The managers of the
Republican campaign committee appear
to think that it is the Republican party
that will be absorbed by the greenbackers,
for tbe literature which they are now
sending ont is direoted to the sole pur
pose of proving what fine greenbackers
the Republicans are. Mr. Gorham, the
Secretary of the Committee, has started
for Pennsylvania, with a large supply of
greenback documents, which he proposes
to distribute where they will do the most
good.
Brother John Sherman, of theUnited
States Treasury, is now charged, on the
authority of a pcblisbed interview in a
Washington paper, to have made his
debut as a Greenbacker, and oppos9d to
the resumption of specie payments. It
is supposed that the good brothel’s head
was thrown ont of level by the shock
froft Maine. Consequently, resumption,
which was to have been resumed on
the 16th instant, by cashing greenbacks
with silver, will not beresnmed at all—
no, not on the 1st day of January, 1879.
The New York papers are very much
dissatisfied with Brother John and his
“vascillating policy,” and want to know
whether he Ib “ a peer or a vassal.”

than white tenants wonld pay Mm. So
thickly inhabited is this quarter, and to
such use is every foot of indoor space
turned, that in hundreds of houses the
cooking is done in the streets or on the
roofs. Some kitchens are built on slender
supports overhanging the sidewalks.
Fireplaces are built on the windowsills,
with shields of old tin bending outward

burning on heaps ot aahes laid npon
unprotected wooden floors and against
wooden partitions, the sparks flying In
