to the same sovereign reigning over both
countries.

Virginia’s State Debt.—The Gov.
eruorhas vetoed the Riddlebeiger bill,
He says the title of the act—“To Re-es

the object being really to repudiate a large
part of the State debt. He holds that the
people, by repeated acts of the Assembly
and by the constitution adopted in 1869,
have acknowledged as due the entire prin
cipal, more than $13,000,000 of which is
now attempted to be repudiated by this
bill.

—The Empress of Austria, now on a
visit to Ireland, is said to be the hardest
rider of this generation. She can keep
longer in the saddle than a war corres
pondent like McGaban, and in riding to
hound outstrips and wears out even the
famous “Blazer” pack of Galway. It is
said that her Majesty spends about three-
fourths of her time in the saddle, and
leads the buht at such a break-neck pace
that surgeons and coroners are always on
the qui vice in the countries through
which she gallops. She has a surgeon to
go out with her to look alter the members
of her retinue who attempt to follow her
over gates, post-and-rail fences, hedges,
stone walls and ditches, and some of
whom are sure to be laid up for repairs
two or three times a week, so that opodel
doc and arnica are in steady demand. Her
Majesty has had some heavy tumbles her
self, but broke no bones as yet, though
she has crippled up several horses. The
ambitious Irish ladies who have tried to
keep up with the Empress have not been
so fortunate.
And now comes Augusta and wants a
new canal. A bran new one with a bead
ant. The forces at work being chiefly
moral, a re slow, however powerful at last,
must have time and forbearance. Every
attempt to supplement them by the shille-
lah or the bayonet is inconsistent and
suicidal. The Northern brethren, if we
believe them, are so impatient to have
maintaining peace there. The trouble
finds its occasion in an attempt to enforce
tlie anti-Chinese provisions of the new
Constitution. One Parott, President of I a
Quicksilver Mining Company, has been
arrested for non-compliance with the law
passed in conformity with that Constitu-
things right, that a third term and a tion, forbidding the employment of Chi-
strong and virtually non-electoral execu- . nese labor, and has made his appeal to
to their the United States Courts, on the ground
tive have become indispensable
programme. Every man who will not
“holler on their side” must be knocked
over. This notion they are apparently
interweaving into the law. Last week
we had one Supreme Court decision af
firming the right and duty of the Federal
Government to regulate the formation of
juries in the State courts. This week we
have another affirming the right and duty
to supervise and regulate elections. The
yearly and constant drift is to push the
States, which are the constituent elements
of the Union—off the political board en
tirely.
The general conclusion is, and it seems
to be rational enough—that the States,
like the Chinese, must “go”—that before
long they will cease to be considered as ef
ficient agents in our system of government,
and we sink very soon into centralized
imperialism and autocracy, which al
though it may still wear the name of a
republic, will be substantially as absolute
as that of Russia herself. For it is a fact
that in the United States, nothing is now
so odious as personal opinion unless it
happens to chime in with that of the ma
jority. It is a great misiortune to any
man to form his ideas independently, if
he can’t keep in the current, or very near
it.
But we shall make a grand mistake if
we conclude that because opinion now
drifts strongly against tbe State govern
ments, it is always going to do so, and
finally sink them out of sight in a great
maelstrom of centralism. That it is not
going to do. The immediate cause of
this strong drift to centralism is readily
understood. The civil war, as now un
derstood, was an array of States against
the Union, ending in the total defeat of
the former; and inflicting the most serious
misfortunes upon all the people. Froinun
der the calamities of that struggle,we still
groan, and even now, it is the shadow of
State authority still left which, in tbe con
ception of the majority of States, now
erects itself against a thousand and one
changes they want to introduce to perfect
their system of free government, under
which every man in the country shall be
compelled to think and vote just like every
other man in the country, or have his head
knocked off as a useless piece of furniture.
They cannot tolerate anything in the
system which savors of the right of private
judgment and the equality and independ
ence of the States, especially this thing of
Senatorial equality, when, in fact, no
more Senators are required than what
New r York, Pennsylvania and Massachu
setts could easily send, the remainder be
ing for the most part poor and ignorant
obstructionists, who do nothing but mis
chief.
But, in the nature of things, this idea
of a centralized government is impractica
ble. The necessary legislation and police
of the system must be done by the States,
for the General Government can’t do it.
Every day the demands upon that govern
ment increase, aud every day its relative
capacity diminishes. The great elemen
tary duties of government must of neces
sity be performed by the States, or left
undone. Public opinion, which sets so
strongly against the States now, under the
passions and prejudices of the war, will,
in ten years, set as strongly the other way
under the necessities of government, and
the horror of neglect or arbitrary Federal
interference. In a word, we must have
patience, and give reason and experience
time to fight sectional hates and jealous-
We must give toleration to heresy,
assured that tlie more wrong-headed it
may be, the quicker will it display its
character.
In the times of Cromwell and the Eng
lish Commonwealth, if anything appeared
to be certain, it was that what the Eng
lish call their constitution—that great un
written law of usage and precedent—was
gone forever—substituted by the arbitrary
will of one man. Parliament was kicked
out of the legislative halls and ceased to
exist. An executive order was the su
preme authority. The nation had revolt
ed from the tyranny of the Stuarts to find
itself the unresisting subjects of an abso
lute dictator.
But all this time, in the providence of
God, England was working out a great
system of representative government more
perfectly responsive to the public will
than our own. And we may be sure that
the people of America—however warped
aud misled for tbe past fifteen years by
passion and prejudice—will not lose sight
of the muniments of civil liberty. We
cannot long ignore any of those great
checks which balance our system without
the occurrence of some mischief which
will punish the men guilty of it. in the
rapid mutation of parties, tbe men who
shout to-day over a strong Grant to break
Southern heads will soon get a crack over
the crown themselves.
that the law, being in conflict with the
Burlingame treaty with China, is neces
sarily void. There is no question that the
United States Courts must so decide. That
point has already been affirmed by the
United States District Court of Oregon.
The certainty of such a result of the
impending judicial conflict has aroused
intense excitement among the Sand Lot
population, who have been full of threats
and preparations for a fight. These men
aces, on the other, have stirred up the re
spectable portion of the people, and they
have responded to the threats of the Kear-
neyites, by warning them, distinctly, that
if they do attempt to violate the peace
they shall rue it.
But, meantime, there are two classes
who see no great promise of quiet and
prosperity in the situation. Large num
bers of capitalists, entirely distrustful of
the safety of their property under that
constitution and a Hoodlum rule, are
transferring themselves and their money
to the Atlantic shore. A good many of
the Chinamen are taking the same course.
They see that even if the laws are annull
ed, a violent popular animosity remains
which will be fatal to peace and personal
security. Consequently nothing but pov
erty impedes a rapid movement towards
the interior of the continent. Several
hundreds of Chinese from San Francisco
have reached New.York or vicinity, with
in the past few weeks.
Unless the Iloodlutns, therefore, push
matters with great violence and bring
upon themselves the power of the United
States government while they stir up
profound and sweeping reaction in the
State, they will force an exodus of the
Chinese at last, by a system of untiring
persecution which makes life there intol
erable, so that the Chinamen will leave
as fast as they can get the means of travel
The laws may be annulled—the courts
extend all the protection they can—even
the reputable citizens may take the part of
the Chinese in the controversy; but it will
be all in vain if the Keameyites and
Hoodlums persist in an inexorable war.
They will wear out the Chinese in spite of
all, for they alone will be tireless in their
inflictions on these defenseless people.
The Sale of the Western and Atlan
tic Railroad.
The Thomasville Times, in an article
upon the late sale of the Macon and
Brunswick Railroad, makes this
mark:
It occurs to us, that m consideration of
the great railroad boom, it would be
good time for the State to dispose of the
Western and Atlantic, subject of course to
the lease. The sale of that road would
very nearly, if indeed it did not entirely,
pay the entire State debt. Let the State
quit running railroads. They are, too of
ten, mere political machines.
We entirely agree with our worthy con
temporary. If the road could be sold and
thus removed from the arena of politics, it
will be a blessing to the State.
Its entire history up to the period of the
lease, has been a series of blunders and
mismanagement, with the single exception
of a portion of Governor Brown’s admin
istration. It has become axiomatic that
no work of interhal improvement should be
constructed and owned by either State or
General government. Wliat is “every
body’s business is nobody’s,” seems to be
verified in almost every instance, and it has
come to be regarded,to a lamentable extent,
that it is perfectly fair to get all that is possi
ble out of the government. This was never
forcibly demonstrated than
big steal of it and repudiate the whole ; AGRICULTURAL DEPARTMENT
debt at once. 1
But, happily^the iniquitous bill received
the prompt veto of Governor Walker,
whose message is a model of statesman
like wisdom, modesty and firmness. The
Readjusters, however; expect to maintain
their organization during the Presidential
-campaign, with a view to running an un
pledged electoral ticket. With the warn
ing they have had, however, we shall be
greatly mistaken if the patriotic sons of
the Old Dominion do not utterly rout this
hybrid faction, who came so near tarnish
ing the fair eecutcheon of their noble
commonwealth.
Let Congress Adjourn.
When the present Congress met, it was
believed by all that the condition of the
appropriation bills which had been argued
at such great length during the protracted
extra session, and were in such an ad
vanced stage of forwardness, would ren
der practicable an early adjournment.
But three and a half months have nearly
elapsed, aud with the exception of the
adoption of the new code of rules and
few other measures of minor importance,
very little legislation has been accom
plished.
The people clamored for a reduction of
the duties on paper, steel rails, sugar, etc.
but the whole subject has been quietly
laid on tbe table, and it has been decided
also (and we think wisely) to cease tink
ering upon the finances.
Much time has been consumed in re
cesses and funeral orations, and now
Buncombe presidential harangues are
next in order. But the people are tired of
this expensive by-play and would gladly
recall their representatives to the harmless
seclusion of their homes. What reason
could be given, therefore, why Congress
should not adjourn in the next two
weeks?

! Lev. Mr. Ayers Contradicts Himielt
The reverend gentleman above named,
who hails from Bridgeport, recently pub
lished a statement to the effect that two
nights before the second battle of Bull
Run, he saw General Fitz John Porter in
conversation with two Confederate Gen
erals, one of whom was General Robert
E. Lee. Ayers says Porter told him to
say nothing about it, at the peril of his
life. But, unfortunately, for the veracity
of the parson, Mr. C. M. Russell, of New
Haven, on the first of March, published a
statement that seven years ago he heard
Ayers repeat the same story, with this dif
ference, that it was General McDowell
whom he caught in conference with the
Confederate leaders, and not Porter. The
old story goes that he saw McDowell sig
nal the rebels with his handkerchief dur
ing the battle. The parson’s present sto
ry is certainly open to doubt.

A business firm in Bainbridge has been

the building of this identical road.
The writer remembers listening to
lecture on political economy from. Prof.
Chas. F. McCay, in the State Universi
ty, in which he took thegiound laid down
above, that no State should embark in
internal improvements, and illustated his
argument by the instance of the Western
and Atlantic railroad, then in process of
construction. Said the Professor, the
surveyors and contractors, for the benefit
of their own pockets, crossed the Chica-
mauga creek seventeen times, necessitat
ing as many bridges, bored through Tun
nell Hill at heavy expense, when a short
detour might have flanked that eminence,
and, to crown their folly and almost
double the cost to the State, graded the
road through an unb:oken wilderness for
a double track, which, even to this day,
has never been needed. Let the road be sol d
then,by all means,and the proceeds dovoted
to the relief of the liquidation of the State
debt. If practicable, we should much prefer,
however, to see it disposed of to a Georgia
company. But it is impossible, in the
long run, to control the ownership of any
property. Capital is the open sesame to
everything that has value, and can always
assert its domination in one way or an
other. The present lessees have managed
the State road with great success, and that
property is now in magnificent condition,
Better lease again if its full value cannot
be obtained, though, ceteris paribus, a sale
is much the more preferable of the two.
The Attempted Repudiation in Vir
ginia-
The Riddlebeiger bill, which, with the
aid of the negroes and Readjusters, passed
both branches of the Virginia Legislature,
was perhaps the most bare-faced attempt
at wholesale robbery ever known in the
history of the United States. It abso
lutely repudiated forty-seven per cent, of
the consol debt, and a lesser amount of the
other just obligations of the State. The
total liabilities of that grand old common
wealth, “the mother of States,” were
scaled fully thirty-three per cent, and that
in the face of solemn previous deliver
ances by the representatives of the people.
For the honor of Virginia, it should be
known that tho great bulk of the Democ
racy and conservative element of the coun
try, including nine-tenths of tlie property
owners, bitterly opposed the disgraceful
measure. It was the non-tax paying ne
groes, Radicals, demagogues, disappointed
politicians, and the lowest and basest ele
ments of the community, that marshalled
their forces and achieved this disgraceful
victory, which the Dispatch justly char
acterizes “a great defeat.” As the bill
contained no provision referring the mat
ter back to the people for their approval
or rejection, the same paper remarks that
while they were at the grabbing business,
it might have been just as well to make a
The Northeastern Railroad and Ma
con and Brunswick.
The Athens Banner does not believe
that the company who have bought the
Macon and Brunswick Railroad can be
compelled to extend it to Atlanta. It
says:
This is all gammon, and must so strike
every intelligent and reasoning mind.
What right had the Legislature to pass a
b'll authorizing the sale of this road, con
ditioned upon its being built or extended
to Atlanta ? This would have been a
species of class legislation unbecoming the
General Assembly, and which the courts
»ly, 1
of justice would not likely sustain. Fur
thermore, it is hardly reasonable to sup
pose that any company would have pur
chased the road, thus trammelled in its
future extensions and operations. If the
new company extend their read to any
point on the Georgia Railroad between
Atlanta and Union Point, it would be
virtually connecting the road with Atlanta,
unless inhibited by the Georgia Road, a
result not rationally to be expected or
likely to obtain.
Our contemporary then puts in the fol
lowing reminder for his own road and sec
tion:
Should such point of intersection be se
lected with a view of coimecting with the
Northeastern Railroad, then the Macon
and Brunswick • road would secure
double advantage iu its connections via
Athens aud Atlanta. Let these facts and
these advantages be promptly and proper
ly presented to the purchasers of the Ma
con. aud Brunswick read, and we confi
dently believe they will see it to their
great benefit to connect with the North
eastern Railroad, aud extend their road
accordingly. .
That the Macon and Brunswick Rail
road must, under the terms of the s lie, be
made to connect with Atlanta, does not,
we think, admit of any doubt. It can be
done, however, under the act, either di
rect or via some point on the Georgia
Railroad. The Banner lias a perfect right
to name its favorite point aud advocate the
Northeastern connection. It is a free fight,
only the owners of the Macon and Bruns
wick hold the trumps aud will “extend”
in whatevei direction they please.

The Brunswick Advertiser boasts of
eating, over a week ago, ripe tomatoes,
fine, large Irish potatoes and ripe straw
berries, all plucked on Brunswick soil.
This might have been done in Macon as
well, had the clerk of the weather posted
us as to the fact that there would be no
winter. Our sea coast gardeners might,
had they made the effort, have enjoyed a
monopoly of vegetables for at least three
months in the Northern markets.

Vegetable Gardens.
As compared with a few years ago, the
cultivation of garden vegetables has made
great progress; hut as compared with
what we might and ought to do, there is
immense room for improvement. How
few farmers have any vegetable garden
that deserves the name. A few rows ot
spindling blue collards, a patch as large
as a good-sized counterpane of soft, waxy
Irish potatoes, a dozen or two sickly
onions, and, perhaps, in rare instances, a
row or two of English peas and bunch
beans constitute the entire stock of vege
tables on most farms. We venture to
say, without fear of successful contradic
tion, that not one in a hundred farmers in
Georgia raises asparagus, celery, cauli
flower, carrots, parsnips, spinach, salsify,
egg-plants, okra, and other vegetables of
easy and inexpensive culture, lor
himself and family. Not one
in a thousand makes vegetable raising an
industry. While with our advantages of
climate and present facilities of transpor
tation, we might supply the Northern
market with vegetables for weeks before
the frosts and snows enable them to sup
ply themselves, we buy most of the Irish
potatoes and almost all the onions we
consume, from New England, and that in
face of the established fact that we can
raise two crops of the finest potatoes every
year, and that we can make good onions
from the seed in one season. Whoever
sees a head of Southern raised cauliflow
er or bleached celery at a farmer’s table ?
It is not so very long ago that a hard head
cabbage was equally rare.
Health, economy, profit—all urge us to
raise vegetables to supply the home de
mand and for export. “But,” say the
farmers, “we have not time.. We are too
busy in the spring preparing to plant cot
ton to attend to vegetables. It is too
small a business.” And yet we venture
to state that in the very rare instances
where a vegetable garden is cultivated,
the laud employed for the purpose pays
four-fold more in actual profit, sayin:
nothing of improved health, increasei
comfort and enjoyment, than the same
amount of land in cotton.
Com Planting,
While one might reasonably suppose
that practice ought long since to have
taught the best mode of preparation, plant
ing and cultivation of the com crop, the
fact is, that no crop is subjected to more
neglect, none left more to chance and
the accidents of seasons. Inquiry, if
made at all, is directed to discovor the
shortest aud easiest rather than the best
mode of preparation and culture.
Success iu the production of corn is not
attainable without deep, close breaking of
the soil before planting, leaving a deep,
mellow, well pulverized bed, into which
the warming rays of the sun, the atmos
pheric gases and the rains and dews may
penetrate, and in which the young roots
may spread easily and early in quest of
nourishment. The character of the soil
and othe.’ circumstances must determine
the time to break it, the sort of plow to
use and the depth to which it should be
broken, but under all circumstances, deep
thorough preparation is essentially neces
sary.
TIME OF PLANTING.
In our climate, with its long, hot sum
mers and frequent occurrence of protrac
ted drought, during the hottest months, it
is all important to plant as early as possi
ble to avoid danger of frost. Many who
apprehend late frosts, because the winter
has been so unusually mild, contemplate
late planting. They should remember
that com though tender is not easily killed
to the root, and though the leaves may
be bitten by frost the plant will nftt forth
new shoots without material dimunition
of the yield.
DEPTH OF PLANTING.
From one and a half to two inches of
mellow earth is tlie proper depth to which
tom should be planted. The roots of
com are chiefly lateral, and put out near
the surface, therefore, it is important to
cover the seed well, and so that the after
culture may increase the depth of earth
upon the roots. Three or four grains
should be dropped where only one plant
is to be left. It is easier and cheaper to
thin than to replant the crop.
DISTANCE.
Six feet between the rows and three
feet between the plants in the row, is the
best distance on our ordinary uplands.
On bottom land or where the soil is natu
rally or artificially very rich, the rows
may be nearer together. So also, on up
land, one stalk in a hill is preferable to
two. Tne crop is more easily kept clean.
The single stalk receives all the food from
soil which would be divided were there
two stalks, and though, perhaps, the two
stalks might produce a greater number of
ears, those on the single stalk will be
larger and in measurement equal in quan
tity and superior in quality to the yield of
the two stalks.
SELECTION OF SEED.
The seed should be taken from the lar
gest and best filled ears, and from the butt
of the ear rejecting about a third from the
smaller end. The advertised seed com
which is said to produce five, six and sev
en ears to the stalk, more commonly pro
duces that number of nubbins, than ears.
Experience teaches that in proportion as
the number of ears to the stalk is increas
ed, their size is reduced.
STEEPING SEED IN TAB WATER.
A good preventive against loss by crows,
etc., is to steep the seed for twenty-four
hours before planting, in very weak tar-
water, stirring the seed so that each grain
shall have a thin coating of the mixture.
Irish Potatoes.
Professor Johnson, in his Encyclopedia
of Fanning, says that “the Irish'potato is
worthless when cultivated in the South.”

March the 17th, lsll. and died in the tame State
and county. February i, |S3 •.
He was reared on a fa-m near Kncxville, and
sprat his life in the honest, honorable vocation
o( the farmer. Re was a aiirii[.g, energetic man,
and hence he made his business life a succeaa.
Ho » as engaged in the irercautilo business about

ten yea- sc
ing Intere>tg. This year ho had returned to the
o:d homestead, givu.g op his interest inmer
chaudi. e, to spend his time in quiet country life,
and devote his whole time and attention to the
farm.
In the twenty.seventh year of his fife he was
married to Mns Josephine Culrerbu se, with
whom he lived most- happily till the day ot his
death. He was an obedient, faithful se n, a kind,
considerate broth, r, a true and affectionate hus
band. ard a tend, loving lather. Ho was pro
verbitl for his devotion to his family. He was a
good neighbor, a true Mend, and a generous,
chan able man. He was ever carelul for the
wants oi the suffering or helpless, and the tiecdy
were not turned away from him empty. His
heart and purse were ever open to benevolent,
Christian euterpriset.
For years he was concocted, by tbe mystlo tie.
to tbe Masonic Brutherhcod. And as a Mason
he made a good record. How he was a. precis ted
in that relation to the world, was indicated by
the solemn and imposing ceremony at his grave,
conducted by tho brethren of that fraternity, for
he was appropriaiely buried in the honors o'
that ancient aud nob eoroor.
Ho ioined the Methodist Episcopal church

was ever afterwards devoted to tbe cburcu and
htrservaits. He enjoyed ocmpsnr very much;
and he appreciate especially the society 0! tho

nothing seemed to plea-o him more than I r
them to so retard it, practically. He was elect

relation tbe remainder of his life
His last illness was short, but vtrv painful and

Whether our people belie vethis or not,they
seem to believe it, for the culture of the ■ B I &
Irish potato in the South is extremely III ^^|
VOLTAIC-ELECTRIC
Irish potato in the South is extremely
limited in extent, and the few that are cul
tivated fully sustain Professcr Johnson’s
sweeping condemnation.
We believe, however, that our soil and
climate are better suited to the culture of
the Irish potato than those of the North.
It is true that our personal experience is
confined to garden or patch culture, but
we see no reason why it should not do as
well on a large scale as in a patch. We
have made two abundant crops of potatoes
in a year, and their quality was as
good as that of any Northern raised pota
toes we have ever seen. The first crop
we planted in February, the second in Ju
ly or August. As food for man and
beast they pay and pay well, and with
proper care are as easily kept during the
winter as sweet potatoes.
Dr. Yoelker says that the best manure
for tbe Irish potato is a mixture ol super
phosphate. of lime, potash, and sulphate
of ammonia, and he recommends a very
liberal application of the mixture, 400
pounds phosphate, 200 potash, 200 sul
phate of ammonia per acre. He adds
that twelve tons, equal to 400 bushels, was
the yield of an acre to which that mixture
was applied.
Children often wake in the night with
a burning fever, and the parent is at a
loss to divine the cause. Worms! Worms,
are at work. A dose of Shriner’s Indian
Vermifuge is the only remedy. mr9-lw

been locked in a cellar and unuablc to get
out, clawed at the wire of the door bell
which ran through the ccller, and made
tlie bell ring incessantly. The owner of
tho house, a timid man, after repeatedly
going to the front door and finding no one
there, called upon a passing policeman,
and the two well armed went into the
cellar. The cat then quietly went out.
A well-known insurance agent went
into an office in Bridgeport the other day,
and was handed a note with the remark
that they were all too busy to talk with
him then and that the note would explain
all. He took the note and went away
and opened it. It contained two dollars
with tlie explanation that they considered
it cheaper to pay him that amount than
have him taik to them. As this agent
once chased a man to the top of a vessel’s
mast in the harbor to insure him they got
off cheap enough.—Hartford Tunes.
putting herself in the hands of Squire
Belva Lockwood, the female lawyer, did,
through that notorious person, aver that
she, the said Jessie Raymond, had been
seduced in November, 1877, *at tbe Kim
ball House, Atlanta, by tlie said B. H.
Hill, the result of which seduction was a
child named Thomas Benjamin Hill,
which said B. H. Hill refused to support,
except to the extent of giving to the said
Jessie the sum of thirty dollars, winding
up her declaration by claiming the small
sum of ten thousand dollars as damages.
The Squire Lockwood aforesaid was as
happy as a clam at Jiigh tide, and went
cackling all over town about her big case,
which, of couise, made an immense sensa
tion. Mr. Hill promptly met the matter
by an unqualified and indignant denunci
ation of the woman and her story, declar
ing that he had never seen her but once,
and then in a law office in Atlanta, anti
her object was simply blackmail. This
was the view generally taken of it, and
his friends so expressed themselves in no
uncertain terms.
OCT OF THE WAY AT LAST.
The new rules were^finally disposed of
yesterday by the House and will go into
effect next Monday. The final vote on
their adoption was 122 to 88—the latter
all Radicals and Greenbackers, except
Sparks, of Illinois, and Culberson, of
Texas, Democrats. On this final vote
Messrs. Stephens and Felton voted with
the majority, and Mr. Speer was absent.
Frye, of Maine, Radical, who assisted in
making the rules, stood by his handiwork
and voted aye, but Garfield, who was tlie
other Radical member of tbe committee
on rules, voted against them. It is gen
erally conceded that the new rules will
greatly simplify business and put the
brakes upon the interminable flow of gab
allowed under the old ones. Among
other changes made are these:
The “morning hour,” so called, is abol
ished. Committees have simply leave to
report bills when called, without discuss
ing them. There are three calendars for
three general classes of bills, that of the
committee of the wh.ole, that of general
legislation, and the private calendar, pre
cedence being given to them in the order
named. Motions to suspend the rules
may be made only on the first and the
third Monday in each month, the previous
question is regulated and restricted, and
“riders” to appropriation bills are pro
hibited unless germane to the subject and
reported by a committee.
THAT CRUEL ASSASSIN
of the English grammar and language,
John Logan, still continues his assault
upon both in the Senate. He has been
speaking three days on tbe Fitz John
Porter case, and has the floor to-day for a
continuance of his blast. As be knows
neither law nor logic, he has, of course,
made liimsrif more ridiculous than ever,
and must be boiling over with rage at Mr.
Hill, who amused himself the day John
began bis yawp by impaling him on the
sharp points of one or two questions that
John could not answer. Of coarse, no
body listens to him, and Senators who
love the weed have had a most refreshing
season of smoking and chatting in the
cloak room. Perhaps the American Sen
ate has numbered amongst its members
iu times past, some one who knew less,
aud more delighted to demonstrate his
ignorance at all times and on all occa
sions than Logan, but history has failed
to name him. Of course, Logan is a furi
ous Grant man. All the stupidity and
malignity of the Radical party is on the
same line. They all have the same con
tempt for the “d—d literary fellers,” that
old corruption Cameron used to express
so forcibly.
NOT FOB SAMMY.
Tlie talk here among those who are in
the confidence of the so-called Georgia
“independents” as to their progromme in
the coming election for President, runs
somewhat as follows: They say the “In
dependents” will not vote for Grant or
any other Radical, but that in the event
ofTilden’s nomiuation they will put up
an “Independent” electoral ticket, wbicb :
if elected, will not under any circum
stances cast the electoral vote of Georgia
for Tilden. If, therefore, the result should
depend on the vote of Georgia with Til
den as the Democratic candidate he
should not have it, and thus, by indirec
tion, would be accomplished what they
dare not do directly. With the result a
between Grant, or any Radical, and Til
den, depending upon Georgia’s vote it is
easy to be seen how the left wing of the
Radical army could, by indirection, as
easily give the victory to their allies as if
they joined forces and openly voted with
them.
If the Democrats nominate Tilden, look
out for just such a consummation. I put it
on record here and now, that this scheme
will certainly follow Tllden’s nomina
tion, and also that I haven’t a cent to bet
on tbe result, if the sore beads pursue tbe
policy indicated above. That Tilden will
be a candidate for the nomination, and
very likely a successful one, I haven’t the
slightest doubt. But if he is ready to die,
it seems to me his early decease would be
a sweet boon to the Democratic party.
As to the talk about his not being a can
didate again, tell that to the marines.
