The Fate of the Chinaman.
The Nashville American quotes a Cali
fornian recently returned to that city as
authority for the opinion that the anti-
Cldnt 'e feeling in that State will eventu
ate in a general massacre of all the Mon
golians in that State. The facts declared
are that these Chinese are displacing all
American mechanics, laborers and ser
vants—they attend to their own business
entirely, and never spend any money, but
save ft all. These things make them “in
tolerable and not to he endured.” “They
mutt go; and will probably take their
upward flight ou the wings of a bowie-
knife before long.” Moreover they are a
saffron-colored race, and the wards of no
body. A yellow nation lias no rights en
titled to respect
A Poor Turkey.
The Constantinople correspondence of
the London Time* tells a doleful story of
the Turkish finances. The government is
utterly bankrupt. The troops have not
been paid for five months, and now, at
last, ft is impossible to supply rations.
The treasury is beset day after day by the
unfortunate and starving wives and chil
dren of claimants, and au entrance into
the building by the officials is a work of
strategy. A similar condition exists in
all the provinces, and yet the scanty reve
nues collected in them aro peremptorily
ordered to be sent to Constantinople, and
the troops in the vicinity left without re
source. The Grand Turk is apparently
on his last legs.
Blaine on Legal Tender.
The Boston Journal prints au inter
view witli Senator Blaine on the proposi
tion to take away the legal tender capac
ity of greenbacks. The Maine Senator
opposes it. He says the greenbacks are
only redeemable at the sub-treasury in
New York, aud that fact would expose
debtors at distant points to injustice. And
finally Blaine concludes with a declara
tion, which illustrates that amount of
sense embodied in the maxim: “Leave
well enough alone.” Says be:
“The country has just emerged from
a prolonged and very severe financial
depression, and is getting into good condi
tion again as rapidly as we could possibly
expect. Everybody is taking heart and
hope for the future, and I cannot conceive
n better mode of checking the rising tide
of prosperity than to throw tli# country
into another angry financial excitement to
carry out what is at best but a theory. 1
think if the proposition were ever expedi
ent in its life it would be an injurious time
to make it.”
The opposition of Blaine to this scheme
for pushing up gold will kill it.
The Cotton Trade.
A New York Evening Post Manchester
correspondent, surveying the situation of
the cotton trade there, indulges in gloomy
prognostications, nc writes on the 12th
November, since when there lias been an
important change for the better, but at
that time, of the 2,000 cotton mills which
cluster in and about Manchester, the
most were noiseless as the grave. But iu
respect to the distant future, he quotes Dr.
John Watts, the highest statistical author
ity ou this subject, as follows:
I see no ’possibility for a revival of the
cotton trade in the near future. The only
circumstance that can aid the manufac
turer is an increased demand for manu
factured goods; and where are yourorders
to come from ? I see very well the causes
of the revival In the iron trade. Many
cities are just at present building tram
ways on a large scale, and they consume
large quantities of iron; large orders arc
coming over from America, both from the
United States and Canada; but where are
orders for cotton goods to come from? The
recent famines in China and India have
closed tiiosc markets almost entirely; the
irotcctive policies of Germany and the
Jnited States drive away all foreign goods
in the cotton line; the great failure of the
harvest iu England has diminished to an
alarming extent, the home demand, and
the same is true in regard to France. The
notion that the present depression is a
fugitive one, is false. Only by a change of
national and individual policy can matters
be bettered. The rise of the cotton trade
must be very slow, and it will follow far
behind the advance in the other trades. A
return to prosperity in general will of
course bring up the cotton trade, but a
long time must elapse before that is
brought about.”
A Good Bale Which Should bo Ob
served by AIL
Begin every day’s duties by reading a
portion of God’s Wonl, and supplicating
tlio protection and blessing of your Heav
enly Father. Even if not a subject of
God’s grace and a member of His visible
church, this acknowledgment of your Cre
ator’s sovereignty, and tribute to His tran
scendent power, mercy and greatness will
not be unprofitable, Jt will shield you
from the insidious approaches and evil
counsels of the scoffer and infidel, solemn
ize your feelings, and, mayhap, prepare
the way for the advent of the Holy Spirit
and the gift of salvation.
We can recall many instances of distin
guished men who read their bible regu
larly, and never rose or slept without in
voking the blessing of that Being who is
the author and finisher of every good and
perfect gift.” Of these men we are as
sured of one fact, they all had consciences
and acknowledged present obligations and
the dread responsibilities of an hereafter.
Who will say they were not more trust
worthy than those who make a jest of
holy things and boast of their neglect of
all the teachings of our blessed faith?
Hence the importance of early religious
training, which, even if not immediately
sanctified to the saving of yettr children,
will nevertheless exert a salutary influ
ence upon their lives, and even at the
eleventh hoar may eventuate to their eter
nal benefit.
In other words, whether a Christian or
not, it is meet to reverence your Maker
and yield to Him that homage which is
due alike from the lofty and lowly.
Missed the Mark.
Frank Leslie's Magazine, which at least
ought to be a true exponent of the facts
and events it heralds with magnificent
illustrations and picturesque surroundings,
makes a most woful and inexcusable mis
take in the account of the ceremonies of
“ unveiling day,” which precedes a well
executed cut of .the monument- It says,
“ the city was greatly crowded on the day
of dedication, both by civil and military
▼isitors^md Governor Colquitt had a most
appreciative audience while delivering his
second oration on the subject.”
The Governor did have not only an
appreciative” but the vastest audience
ever gathered on any previous occasion
in Georgia. But his role was confined
only to a few graceful remarks, introduc
ing the eloquent orator and magnus
Apollo of the day, our gifted fellow-citizen,
Hon. Thomas Hardeman, Jr.
At the ceremonies connected with the
laying of the comer stone, Georgia’s
Chief Magistrate had previously covered
himself with glory in the masterly address
he then pronounced. Hence, we presume
this mixture of the two celebrations by
our illustrated contemporary. But justice
compels us to reiterate what was em
phatically said of Colonel Hardeman’s
almost extemporaneous speech at the un
veiling of the monument, that ft was par
excellence, the grandest effort of bis life,
and well nigh faultless in diction, as it
was in its soul-stirring sentiments and ut
terances. Honor to whom honor is due,
Mr. Frank Leslie.
Another Torn in the Wheel of Prog*
reas—Steam to be Superseded by
a Mew Motor, the Bisnlphide of
Carbon.
Messsrs. Williams, Smith & Milligan,
of Pittsburg, Pennsylvania, have taken
out a patent, which is described as an
“improvement in the motors for machin
ery.” The process is the transmission of
a powerful and rapidly generated vapor
derived from a mixture of bisulphide of
carbon and petroleum from the chamber
of a condenser, to the boiler of an ordina
ry iron-condensing steam engine.
The boiler being filled with water heat
ed to about 200 degrees, a pressure as
high as 200 pounds per square inch is rap
idly developed from the vapor thus gener
ated, and easily controlled. As more defi
nitely described in the letters patent, the
lighter or volatile portion of the petroleum
oil must be evaporated for the purpose of
separating the gasoline and benzole from
it prior to patting it in the boiler; then
apply the heat and charge the chamber of
tlie condenser; then open the valve so that
the bisulphide will be forced by the pump
gradually into the boiler; then, by contact
with the previously heated petroleum oil
and water, it is rapidly evaporized, form
ing k force or pressure proportioned to
tlie quantity injected and the heat ap
plied.
By the above comparatively simple op
eration, an immense motive power is crea
ted, which can be applied directly to ma
chinery of every description, including lo
comotive engines, steam engines, steam
navigation, factories, aud other branches
of industry.
The New York Bulletin says the key to
this success in generating power is found
in the special adoption of petroleum to the
object of bringing the bisulphide into con
trol—in this respect comparable to tho
success of Morse in “harnessing the light
ning.” Through this agency the bisulphide
is held; it aids in its condensation, and
holds the sulphur of the bisulphide in
solution; it also deorderizes the bisulphide.
Thus the vapor does its work in the cylin
der entirely pure.
A most valuable advantage attending
this discovery, is the important fact that it
can be made applicable to any steam
engine, without the change of a single
screw or bolt. Nothing more is required
than tlie addition of a condenser and pipes
to connect the exhaust and the escape, i
The contents of the boiler, it is said, are
returned without waste in an unending
circuit, the action of the bisulphide being
in every respect the same as steam.
“Tlie pressure is uniform, as it is gov
erned by the pump alone; otherwise, on
the amount of bisulphide injected into
tho boiler, and not by the heat of tlie fur
nace.” It is contended that this system
enables tho engineer in any emergency to
-obtain instantly from 100 to 200 pounds
pressure, or more if desired, without any
alteration or change of the fire.
By this new motor it is also claimed
that in consequence of the insignificant
amount of fuel consumed, a large addition
will be made to the freight carrying ca
pacity of ocean steamers, and the tenders
of locomotives may be entirely dispensed
with. It is estimated that 100 pounds of
the vapor will bo equivalent to 16 horse
power, and as the bisulphide now costs
bnt ten cents per pound, and can be made
much cheaper, and is also capable of be
ing used over and over for tlie same pur
pose, the cost of this wonderful motor wifi
be very little indeed.
Tlie matter will soon be thoroughly tes
ted, and if really successful in practice is
destined to work a great revolution in lo
comotion and transportation generally.
The agent is likewise said to be non-ex
plosive and perfectly safe in every way.
The Cotton Crop.
The Agricultural Department cotton
crop figures for 1st December, indicate no
great change from the November esti
mate. Tlie falling off is heavy in the Car-
olinas and Georgia—lighter in Florida,
Alabama and Tennessee. The gain is
great in Mississippi. The loss is nomi
nally considerable in Texas, but by rea
son of the increase in cotton area in that
State, it will show a real gain in bales.
Arkansas shows a heavy gain, and so will
Tennessee. It is a loose statement, but
we should say it indicated a small falling
off from last year.
Bermada Grass Seed—Ecce Signum.
We have lying before us, a sample of
Bermuda grass pulled up by the roots,and
fully seeded, grown and banded to us by
Colonel W. B. Johnston.
The grass is over-ripe, and lienee tlie
seed, if ever they had come to perfection,
have fallen. The writer is disposed to
doubt, from his personal observation in
the low country, whether the plant, which
he has certainly frequently seen in full
flower, ever matures its seed. He is not
prepared, however, to say that it does not.
It is barely possible, that like other plants,
however, such as the arrow root, common
wild cane of the swamps, etc., it is propa
gated solely by joints and rootlets.
We should like to see the veritable seed
collected and tested in a hot bed.
THE GEORGIA PRESS.
A Legal Quibble for once at a Dis
count.
Wo learn from a late dispatch to the
Post and Tribune that in a case of convic
tion for the sale of liquors to minors,
which was taken to the Circuit Court on
the ground that when the bill was en
grossed the word minor was spelt miner,
Judge Huntingdon decided that the inten
tion of the Legislature was to prohibit the
sale to minors, not miners, and the law
should be carried ont. And so the guilty
party was duly punished. We only wish
that the same good sense and regard for
justice could always obtain in our courts
of law, where the most trivial omission or
quibble is often made the ground for the
discharge from custody of the guilty crim
inal and disturber of the public peace.

Chronicle and Constitutionalist: Last
Thursday night, about seven o’clock,. a
young man by the name of Augustva
Blackburn was found lying on the pave
ment on the comer of Campbell* and Tel
fair streets. He was in a state of insensi
bility from drink, and thoroughly wet
from the rain, which was pouring down
in torrents. He was picked up and car
ried into a house near by and tlw police
were then notified. An officer conveyed
the man to the City Hall and laid him be
fore tlie fire in the guard room, in order
that Ids clothing might dry. Everything
was done to make him as comfortable as
possible under the circumstances. About
half-past ten o’clock it was noticed that he
did not seem to be breathing, and exami
nation showed that he was dead. His
relatives, who live near the Augusta Fac
tory, and the Coroner werepiotitied. An
inquest was held at 2 a. m., and a verdict
returned that the deceased came to his
death from causes unknown to tho jury.
We understand that Blackburn had been
on a spree for some time.
Daily Enquirer-Sun: When a railroad
company dies its lawyers ought to be the
heirs of the ready money assets. Some
such remark we heard a leading lawyer
playfully remark yesterday. Where tlie
“ought” comes in we can’t see clearly, but
the legal gentlemen somehow manage to
get tlie greatest share. Such has proved
to be the case at the demise of the Atlan
tic aud Gulf Railroad Company at Sa
vannah. The courts do allow practition
ers enormous fees. After the court had
ordered paid $20,000 to four lawyers, the
master reported in favor of paying these
and three others, $96,000 additional. One
recommendation is for $60,000, and it is
thought all will be allowed. Broken
roads pay enormously the few who ad
minister on the .remains. It constitutes a
splendid feast. While the funds are be
ing gobbled up in this style, laborers, to
whom the $120,000 are due remain un
paid. It is a terrible hardship on them.
They depend on it for subsistence. The
work performed by the lawyers has been
too little for such enormous amounts to be
charged. The poor man must stand
aside and wait, and perhaps hopelessly,
while thousands are paid for legal ser
vices. Would such charges be made if
the business was that of individual—if
the dealings were with private parties and
not the representatives of a broken com
pany? Snch actions—paying such fees be
fore the small claims of laborers—may be
law bnt it is not justice. It looks like
fattening on the spoils.
Sumteh Republican: Otteb Skin
and Beavers.—Mr. Webb, from the
eastern part of Macon county, brought in
on yesterday an otter skin whicli he had
killed in or near Flint river. Our streams
abound in these animals, also beavers, but
the latter is hard to capture, as when
caught in a trap, if they do not fall in
stantly in swimming water they will bite
off the limb which the trap clamps and
make their escape. A friend stated to us
a few days since that he caught one in a
trap and saw him caught, hurried to him,
but he bit liis leg off while he was endeav
oring to kill him. He, however, at great
risk, seized the animal by the tail, slung
his head against a tree and killed him.
Columbus Times: A ludicrous trans
position occurred in tho make-up of a

which produced the following effect: The
first item read “A large cast iron wheel,

in that city yesterday after a long ana pain

followed by the second item, which read,
“John Faden the well known, florist and

A Very Doubtful Story.
The Washington Star says: “It has
been reported in political circles for some
days that Tilden intends at an early day
to‘issue an address to the National De
mocracy defending the course he has pur
sued, announcing that he is not a candi
date for the Presidential nomination, and
declaring hrs preference for that nomina
tion to be Speaker Randall.. Whetherthis 'J'HE countenance is pale and lead
report be true or not, it 1s credited by
many Democrats in Washington.”
A Tribute to the Power of the Press.
Wendell Phillips, in a recent address in
New York, as aa illustration of the influ
ence which a newspaper exerts, said:
He remembered a cousin of his who
was a bitter Federalist, when in the fierce
conflict after the war of 1812, a Democrat
and a Whig would hardly walk on the
same side of the street, who subscribed on
the first day of January for a Democratic
paper—for the fun of it. He thought that
at his breakfast be might be tickled with
tlie absurdity of what it said. On the 4th
of November following he voted the Dem
ocratic ticket. [Laughter.] Such was
the resistless power of repetition. Lord
Palmerston said iu the very height of his
popularity: “I never dare contradict
journal, no matter wliat the assault nor
how offensive the affirmation. I know it
has 300 days in which to repeat it, and to
make fun of me.” And so the magnani
mous and obstinate Premier remained si.
lent rather than subject himself to the
sarcastic rejoinders of tlie press. Such is
the power grown so suddenly of late,
which was absolutely unknown 1,000
years ago. Human nature was, after, all.
lie said, very much identical now with
wliat it was in times gone by.
Tlie press seventy years ago was noth
ing. Tlie battle of Waterloo, the grand
est event in European history for the last
hundred years, only gained one-third of a
column for its record in tlie London
Times. Imagine a broil of half a dozen
drunken soldiers and murdering Indians!
The newspapers would give them two col
umns of it. The battle of Waterloo that
decided the fate of the world, did not have
500 words to record it.
He had had occasion to search for the
details of events that had taken place in
1830, 1834 and 1836, just previous and
subsequent to the great agitation, during
which Garrison was dragged through the
streets by a mob, and he had found it im
possible, with all the journals of the city
before him, to make out anything like a
detailed account of the event, which shook
the city while it lasted, so meagre were
the accounts of the journals of that day.
When he went back to the battle of Wa
terloo he found the London Times consis
ted of nothing but advertisements. It did
not volunteer an opinion. It had no dis
cussion, no leading articles,, no editorials.
Again, he rememberfed well when Harri
son died in 1840, an event whicli, consid
ering its party relations, was exceedingly
critical and important in the history of
the country—and yet when tlie news of it
reached Springfield, Ill., ten days after
the President’s death, it found Abraham
Lincoln arguing a case in court, and he
denied it, because, he said, it was not pos
sible, if it were true, that it should be
known there so soon. [Applause and
laughter.] To-day, buy a newspaper in
the street, and you may read tlie words
that Queen Victoria is at that moment
speaking to her Parliament. They might
buy an evening paper at night and read
what Bismarck said before dinner. Such
was the enterprise and the rast sweep of
the press of to-day that makes humanity
one. The man that reads had a telegraph
wire which connected him with tho world,
and the man that did not read might as
well be Robinson Crusoe on his island
If, as some one has said, “ a numerous
household is the safety of the republic,”
it might as well be proclaimed at once
that the remedy upon which such house
hold should be reared is Dr. Bull’s Baby
Syrup. Price only 25 cents. Always re
