The telegrams, however, report at half-

Naihville, and 6 below at Louisville. At
Knoxville, Tennessee, tho temperature
was plas 2. These are the only Southern
points from which a report has reached

ature of threo above zero, the wind was

In Europe it was no better. Tbe

lieutenant Flipper’s Book.
We have ju9t received, by mail, from
tbe publishing house of Homer, Lee &
Co,New York,the Autobiography of
Lieutenaut Henry Ossian Flipper, U. S.
A., the first graduate of color from the
West Point Military Academy. The
book, which contains 822 pages, 13 gotten
up in good style, and ia dedicated to the
President and faculty cf the Atlanta
University, (coL)
During hia sojourn in Macon, last year,
we met the Lienterant on several occa
eions and always found him conrteons,
pleasant andreepe< , *'ti!. We can recall
his speech to th- >lored battalion, also,
which he in?pec eJ and reviewed in truo
military sty to, ard feel constrained to say
that it was both coaeeivatiye and appro
priate.
Flipper ia a native of Tbomasville,
where his lather, Festns, a shoemaker,
still resides, and was formerly owned by
Bev. Reuben H. Lucky, of that place. Ho
appears to have bean a lad of good charao
er, and et tbe conclusion of the war,
having removed to Atlanta, after a nino
months’ sojourn in Macon, entered the
colored University there, and wa3 thus
qualified for his subsequent career at
West Point.
His appointment as a cadet was due to
the exertions and influence of Mr. Free-
mas, the Republican member in Con
gress from tbe Fifth District.
The book before ns is mainly devoted
to the experiences of Lieutenant Flipper
at the Military Academy, and contains
numberings extracts from letters, news
papers, etc., complimentary or otherwise.
While we find somewhat to approve of
occasionally in its pages, there is mnch to
condemn. Badioal rancor and raoe prej
ndioes are bnt too frequently apparent,
though it is bat fair to say that ha him
self was often the snbjeot of insalt and
persecution at tbe hands of white a:sooi«
ates at tbe Academy.
His book will probably make a lion of
Lieutenant Flipper at the radical North,
and among his colored Southern breth
ren. It wab intended to sell doubtless,
and will probably prove a pecuniary sue*
cess. But whether it will aid him soci
ally, or promote his fortunes as an army
officer may be capitally doubted.
Kesnmpcton Fully Inaugurated
The agony of resumption is over at
length and proved to be no agony what
ever,, put the sweetest and easiest thing
imaginable. _ Indeed, it was an accom
plished fact eomo time before tho ad
vent of tbe greatly dreaded appointed
day. Bnt neither Mr. Sherman or SDy
one else is entitled to special praise in
the premises. The happy tosne was tbe
result of a fortunate concatenation of oir-
eamstanccs, prominent among which is
tbe faot that tho balance of trade has for
months been largely in oar favor, and
the remonetizition . cf silver has taken
off the edge of the appetite, for veritable
hard money. Every one, for some time
psst,jwho has bean lucky enough to han
dle any money at all, is Blreedy sick of
the Juavy,laad of silver which must be
carried even to meet noossaary onrrent ex
penses. Hence the people and banks,
too, were juits prepared to dispense with
the shining stuff,^provided they could get
good, slesn greenbacks and legal tenders
in lien thereof.
Bat .confident*, that very expressive
and comprehensive word, furnishes the
key to the solution of the whole matter.
The plighted faith and immense re
sources of the United Elates government
are pawned for the solvency and redemp
tion of the securities uttered under its
imprimatur, ana the very existence of
these obligations tend, like theEnglisn
consols, to solidify and bind together all
sections of tbe country. How much bet
ter is this condition of things than the
inflated State currency of former times,
when private banking companies traded
upon tbe credolity of tbe public to the
extent of issuing from three to five dol
lars of their bills for every one dollar of
available funds for their redemption, and
bad no backing whatever!
We feel quite sure that the best, and
safest currency to be instituted is that
hich is based upon the integrity and
credit of all the tax-payers of tbe nation,
tbe amount issued to be gutdf-d and con
trolled by the immediate representatives
of tbe peoj.li in Congrets. Now, if the
holders of oar s.curities abroad, when
they see that there is no run whatever
upon the treasury a' home, will consent
to be quiet and not realise, alt wilt go on
smoothly and well.

Woman fete of tfy*mm
A correspondent of -the Denver Mirror,
who went to Wyoming to take a practical
view of woman suffrage, is enthusiastic-
over the matter. He repudiates the al
legation that respectable women shim the
ballot, and describes tbe ladies’ poll a*
tho Cheyenne election, thuc:
In the town are t wo polling placer. A<
one of these, a nicely furnished room to
tho Inter-Osean Hotel, the most of th-
women vote, and some gentlemen who
havo accompanied their wives end sisters,
with others who, on ooconnt of the order,
quiet and neatness that prevails, doubt
less prefer to cast their votes here. In
this room, the floor of which is covered
with Brussels carpet, eat tbe judges ana
clerks of the election—:breo ladies ana
two gentlemen. Tho bright, intclligen-
and pleasant faces oi tbe ladies, and the
dignified and pleasing manners of tb«-
ganllemen, gave a homelike appearanc<
that was very agreeable, and one could
not fail to ask why objections should to
rnado to women participating in a matter
of so much importance as the governmen
of their country. Women voters were
coming and going during all hours.
Many came in their own carnage*,
some loaarriBgeaaentby political paitiea,
but many walked, preferring this rather
thru pirns themselves under tbo appear
ance of being influenced by riding m a
oarriage provided by ( any patty—ibougb
men do nut eoruple to ride when tney
have tbe opportunity. The ladies brought
their ballots with them. They knew be
fere they came for whom . they ware go
ing to volo. Having the Ucket before
hand, they knew ex icily whose name to
soratcb, and some, at least, aid not veto
tbe straight ticket. The ladies do not
forget a man’s political record. His mor
al cnaraoter bus much to do in gaining or
losing their vote/. There wsb no elec
tioneering at tbe voting-place; not a
word was spokeD, occasionally a gentle
man in the crowd that stood on the aide
walk wcnld bow to a lsdy acquaintance,
bat not one word did we bear daring tho
time we remained.
The dispitoh with which they voted
was a maivol. The average timo for
lady to walk from her carrt/gs across tbe
eidewelk, deposit her ballot and seat her
self in her oarriage again, was twenty
eight second?. The longest timo taken
by any on* lady, while we noticed tb<>m,
w*s forty-fir* second?, the ahorteit eigh
teen seconds. The verdict of every horn
est mind as to the obaraoler of a major!
ty of these women wonld undoubtedly be,
•’re/pectable, good women.” We are
told that it was quite a rare thing for a
woman’s vote to be challenged, although
men were there all day for that purpose.
Ten years of political life has not corrup
ted the women to that tho men cannot
trust them. Though large numbers of
man stood aronnd the polling place all
d*y cot a loud word was heard; no smok
ing and no spitting on the wtdk over
wbioh tbe ladies had to pass. The way
was always kept free f jr them to pass
tbrongb. If these were not gentlemen,
they were tho best counterfeiters we
have ever seen. The whole appearacoe
and bearing of these men bear testimony
of their respectability.
Tbe Indian Bureau.
General Sheridan at length replies to
Secretary Scburz—defending hia charges
against the Indian Bureau. The Nash'
ville American says the Secretary was
evidently under the impression that
Sheridan made his charges loosely and
on hearsay. When he reads tho elabo
rate reply of General Sheridan, he will
conclude that the dashing cavalry officer
u a close hand at business details. He
furnishes Mr. Schnrz with columns of ex
tracts from the reports of subordinates,
made in discharge of duty, as to the
causes of Indian troubles, and in such a
way as to indicate on their face that they
were not made by design to bolster any
preconceived theory.
There are about eight of these extracts
furnished from reports made by officers
in the regular and ordinary discharge
of their duties, as military information
to a watchful commander. They furnish
a mass of testimony whieh, as it now
stands, is convincing and overwhelmingly
corroborative of Gen. Sheridan’s allega
tion?, and induces the bolief that he only
didn’t state it half strongly enough. If Mr.
Schurz found cause for complaint before,
he will be doubly troubled by the reply,
with its elaborate direct evidence of a
system which seems to be a gross blunder
and a flagrant wrong from beginning to
end. The efficiency and honesty claimed
for Mr. Schurz only emphasize tho de
fects ot the system.

their guano, yet conaented.to take cotton
n lieu of cash at apric?, which we are told
from tbe immense decline in the staple,
will well nigh ruin many of them. Hence
the attempt on their part,not. to raise the'
price of their compounds, but to get a
ftiz equivalent m cotton. It ia an accom
modation- for them to consent to take
cotton at all, *nd tbe impetus impartad- 'ma&l-for’lh
to production by the application of these
subsided. People are satufled that ail

wise why wonld tho demand for these

Bat we have been among these gtuno
men not only in their basinets offices,
bat at their factories in svery State, North
and South, and find that they are just
like other people, and there is not the
slightest danger that any extortion will
bo practised upon their eustohiers. It is
bat fair also, to say that while the prices
of tbe various mixtures havo greatly
cheapened of late years, the standard and
quality of tbe article sold has almost in
uvery instance betn vastly improved.
Hence, now we h6sr bat few complaints
as to tho worthlessness of these fertili
zers, and this is another legitimate result
of wholesome competition.

A Geatittino Export — We learn
from the Southern Enterprise that lands
on tho sea coast of Georgia are in great
request by immigrants, and as many as
twenty thousand'acrea in Liberty county
have recently been sold to a Northern
oompany. We are aft aid that our r&
promptly, if necessary, and prevent extor- «peoted contemporary is misinformed,
lion in the sals of the proauots. Best aasnr-
fcdtbat the inevitable and irresistible law
of supply and demand will regulate the
whole matter, without oombinalione of
any kind ou either side. If a farmer be-
lievae that he can give 500 pounds of cot
ton lor a ton of guano, pay for it, improve
bis land, and then eomo out more than
even, he will moat certainly make the
investment, and not otherwise. And
this is tbe conclusion of the whole matter.
Of course it is to tho interest of the
mnnufactnrer and dealer to sell as low as
possible, or be supplanted in his business
by toes voracious and more sagacious
rivals. We submit that tbe eternal
principles of political economy as laid
down by Adam Smith, M. Say, Puffen-
dorf. and other writers, furnish the only
intelligent and reliable eolation of the
wholo difficulty. A3 sure as the eun seta
and rises onr farmers will get their guano
on the best terms possible, and then it will
be for each agricnltariat to say whether it
will pay to use it or not at those figures.

That staunch old Democratic journal,
the Boston Post, expresaes the opinion
that the haste aad clumsiness with which
the story in the New York Titles was
mado up about Sanator Bayard’s lending
himself to an organization of his personal
friends in Delaware for tho purpose of
bringing himself forward as a presidential
candidate in 18S0, and of course to head
off all rivals by an eatly occupation of
tbe field, are enough of themselves to
stamp il with incredulity. The Post
says “it is obviously a Republican device
to seek to prejudice the strongly favor
able chances of Mr. Bayard by inciting
prematurely a feeling of uneasiness with
in tbe Democratic party,” and adds:
“From tho well-known character of
Senator Bayard it to impossible to be
lieve him capable of either shoring in
such project or of entertaining it. He iB
not a man to receive promotion through
the vulgar arts of management and com
binatiou, but rests hie prospects as

tion. There is no need of a man of hiB
etamp calling in his friends to help him
crowd back a rival candidate. He was
for a long time, too, stead ly conspicuous
in reforming the abuses which had bean
engrafted on our custom house system,
and in resisting the nameless tyrannies
of reconstrnction, not to speak of his earn
est efforts on behalf of tho restora
tion of a sound and honest currency, to
reqaire any of the small helps, inch as
are practiced by the party in whioh this
absurd story originates. The Demccrats
have in him, if they decide to take him
as their candidate, a man who is pops >ar
solely because ot bis sterling worth. He
unites the traditions of the old and rev
ered school with the desirable methods
of the now. He brings tried principles
to tbe eolation of the questions of the
time, and while conservative and cafe is
also progressiva and liberal. There is
every reason why such a story as the one
set on foot by his political opponents ia
unworthy of credit, not the least conclu
sive of which is the fact that there is no
need of any personal effort on hia pact,
sinoe he ia the lest man to be overlooked
by the Democratic party.
The Cleveland (O.) Herald, a Bspubli-
can paper, allnding to tbe same subject,
says i
Baysrd is now the leading Damooratio
candidate for tho Presidency. Among
all the candidates who have sufficient
prominence to make them available, Bav-
ard alone has a good consistent record on
the money question. As the field looks
at present, Bayard is the strongest man
th- Democrats can nominate. He is a
reputable, conservative, clean-handed
statesman, who aticka to hie principles
aad oan show a consistent record on oil
public questions He is not magnetic,
and has few warmly-attached friends,
bnt be is lonrteoua and honorable in hie
dealings with men, and has therefore ao
enemies. All in all, Bayard mast be
looked upon ae the coming man for the
Democrats.

ot it, tbs bank, by the skillful manage

oeedod in entirely checking the p'au of

Horrible warder.
From stivers! visitors from Crawford
county wo learn of the murder of Mr. A.
H. MaiefcisoD, of that county, which oc
curred tho night of the 23th ultimo.
It appears that on that dav-Mr. ilur-
obtson furnished, according to agreement,
a horneto a colored farmer named Green
Thutman, who was to furnish a buggy,
and that they would proceed from their
neighborhood to Knoxville, seven or
sight mileB distant, and return.
The parties named were seen in Knox
ville together and were also seen in the
buggy on their return near tbo residence
of Thurman.
On tbe morning of the 29th, about 9
o’clock, a colored woman discovered tho
body of Thurman, frozen, and in a most
mangled condition. Sue gave the alarm
and summoned some of the people in the
neighborhood. The first to arrive was
Mr. John Harrison, who found the body
lifeless and weltering in blood. On ex
amination the body was found to oontain
nineteen gashes, which were inflioted by
a knife, the head split open by a rail and
the brains oosing ont, the sknll being
fractured into fragments.
Suspicion was immediately aroused
against Thurman, his two sons and a
negro from Msecs, whose name we oonld
not lsorn. A pistol, and a knife with
fresh blood upon it, was found among
some ootton seed on Thurman’s premises.
It was discovered that Thurman woe
wounded in the shoulder from a pistol
ahot. Ono of the other negroes admitted
that there hod been a fight between
Murchison and Thurman, and that tho
former ohot the latter. The parties had
been drinking freely. Ou their arrival
at Thurman's gata the deceased insisted
on being driven ia tbe baggy to his own
lodgings which were abont a half of a
mile off; that Thurman refused to com
ply and a fight ensued.
Mr. Harrison, ou Sunday morning,
processed to Knoxville and returned with
the ootoner, who held an iaqasst. Thur
man, his two sons and the Mason negro
ware arrested and taken to the jail in
Ferry eonnty, it being more seonre than
