CURRENT TOPICS.
The Lunatic Asylum—A Case in Point.
W e have frequently alluded to the con
dition of the Georgia Asylum, calling at
tention to the absolute necessity of build
ing anew one. In proof of this we make
the following extract from the Merriwether
Vindicator:
“The Commissioners met last Tuesday
to try a ease of lunacy—a lady. Being a
decided lunatic, a member of the board
informed the troubled husband that there
was no room for the poor unfortunate in the
lunatic asylum, and if confinement was
necessary no place could be procured ex
cept the county jail. The loving husband
replied as long as he was able to work and
watch, his wife couldn’t become an inmate
of a jail. Additional accommodations for
lunatics have become an absolute necessity
aixl the next Legislature must provide
them.”
Commenting upon this the LaGrange
Reporter says: We are glad to note the
last sentence coming from Mr. Revilli, a
member of the Legislature, and we hope
he will devote himself to the work of hav
ing another asylum built. He could not
engage in a nobler or more needful work.
Mer. wether is not the only county in which
this same thing has occurred—persons
adjudged lunatics, and then thrown back
on their relatives and friends for safe
keeping, to grow continually worse in the
disease until it develops into _hel pless
madne s. That such things do occur is a
deep, unutterable disgrace to Georgia.
Would that a hundred other Legislators
could have the same convictions as the
editor of the Vindicator.” We hope that
the next Legislature will find time between
bids to change the code and county lines to
take this matter into serious consideration.
There is no State in the Union whose un
fortunate lunatics are so shamefully treat
ed. Those citizens who in future lose their
minds must either be taken care of by
their friends or be sent to the most con
venient county jail. But we take it that
the Legislature has not had its attention
called to this matter, or else a bill would
have been adopted last winter covering the
case.
The Fall Elections—First Drops of tire
Thunder Cloud.
California has voted down the Radical
party. The great Democratic tidal wave
which staited in New England last fall has
now swept over the country from ocean to
ocean. There is nothing left of the Repub
lican party but General Gkant, a few Sena
tors elected four or five years ago, and a
parcel of office holders appointed by the
President, with here and there an old thiev
ing carpet-bagger elected by negroes in the
Southern States.
The result of the next Presidential cam
paign has already been determined. Victo
ry is assured. There is no earthly doubt
that whoever gets the Democratic nomina
tion will be the next President of the United
States.
The next great and signal triumph will
be in Ohio. It is impossible to arrest the
tide now by the shattered and utterly de
moralized forces of the enemy. The French
had just about as much chance of winning
after the surrender of Sedan and Metz.
The Radicals have raised the assumption
that theirs is a hard money party. Cali
fornia is a hard money State, and yet it
repudiated that party. Besides bringing
greenbacks into existence, it has many
other sins to answer for.
The truth is this country is sick unto
death with the negro and his rights. It
now demands some rights, some work and
hume meat and bread for the white man. It
demands a restoration of our commerce by
land and sea, a revival of trade, and a
general return to the old days of honesty
and prosperity.
Tire Guihord Case —Why He Was Re
fused Catholic Burial.
As this case is attracting a great deal of
attention, an explanation of it is just now
in order. Joseph Guibord was a French
Canadian. He though a Catholic, was a
member while living of a Library Com
pany at Montreal, which refused to re
move from its shelves certain books at the
request * f the Roman Cath lie Bishop
of that city. Guibord was the owner
of a lot in the Catholic Cemetery.—
A I'ter ids death the bishop refused the widow
permission to bury her husband’s remains
in consecrated ground. The widow appealed
to the courts. Conflicting decisions only
*' made the matter worse, until finally the
case went to the English Privy Council,
and an order has been passed directing
that the remains of Joseph Guibo and “be
buried in that part of the cemetery in
which the remains of Roman Catholics who
receive ecclesiastical burial are usually in
terred.” it eost tea thousand dollars to
get this decision. A second attempt is to
?.e made lo bury him there, and ths dis
patches this morning indicate that troops
will be required to accomplish it. But for
all that—
llow little wrecks it where men lie
When, ont o the moment’s past;
When ttie dim and glazing eye
/ lias looked on earth its iast.
Whether beneath the sculptured urn
The eoffined lid tnay rest—
Or in its nakedness return
Back to mother earth.
Curious Facts About Capt. Webb, the
Great Swimmer.
As Capt. Webb is the greatest swimmer
the world lias ever known, or is likely to
know, any facts about him must, at this
time, prove interesting. We learn that he
once swum from Blackwall to Gravesend,
doing twenty miles with the stream in
four hours, and afterwards eclipsed even
this performance by making his way from
Dover to Ramsgate, a distance of eighteen
miles, in nine hours. It was in his second
attempt to cross the channel in his life
saving dress that Capt. Boynton succeeded,
and in view of this fact, and Capt. Webb’s
previous feats, the Telegraph urged him to
“try again.” He did “try again,” with the
success already announced. The lelegraph
describes the appearance of Capt. Webb,
when stripped for his work, as “very much
that of the old Greek statues of Hercules.
He is, if anything, a little short of middjg
height, with a tremendous chest, a great
pair of shoulders, and a somewhat liberal
allowance of flesh.” Sayeks, who fought
with Beenan, is said to have been about
the same build as Capt. Webb. The Tele
graph considers that, for hard and severe
work, “the best type of man is one of mid
dle height or even Jess, with a deep chest,
square shoulders, thick neck, and, if any
thing, a slight tendency to fat.”
We recently received a communication
asking for the publication of the names or
certain European monarchs. Here they
are and their salaries too ; Alexander 11..
$ *,is-2,000, or $25,000 a day. Abdul Aziz
$0,000,000, or $i3,000 a day. Francis Joseph,
$1,000,000, or $10,051 a day. Fred. Wil
liam. 11., $3,000,000, or $3,210 a day. Victor
Emanuel, $2,400,000, or $0,840 a day, Vic
toria, $2,200,000, or $6,27*j a day. Leopold,
■sOou.ooO, or $1,643 a day. In addition to this
salary, each of thewo individuals is fur
nished with a dozen or more first-class
houses to live in. without any charge of
rent.
Monsignor Jose Taix >l, Bishop of the
Sea of Urgel, would seem to bo in a very
tight place since a criminal prosecution is
to be brought against him by the Alfon
“HST government, and he is now a prisoner
uear Barcelona. Taixal is the primate
of the Carlists, and, although it was re
ported in December that he had aban
doned that causa, his subsequent faithful
adherence to his post of duty in the face of
the difficulties by which ha was surround
ed seems to stamp the report as of Alfon
sits origin. Of course the Madrid Govern
ment will have little compassion on a fierce
partisan like Taxial.
LETTER FROM CHARLESTON.
Singular Accident to a Vessel—A
Question for the Lowyers—The Po
litical Gumbo—The Water Famine
llow it Affects Pump Handles—Local
Dots.
From Our Regular Correspondent J
Charleston, September 1,1875,
For ono day the public mind in
Charleston has been drawn from mu
nicipal politics by one of the most
curious marine accidents that has ever
happened at this port. Anew bark,
the Ziba, lately arrived was discharging
ballast at Commercial wharf pier and
on Thursday afternoon having dis
charged all her ballast was
about to be towed to another
place to load a cargo of naval stores.
The tug had arrived about 6 o’clock,
and bad made her lines last to the
batk when the latter iimnedia.ely cap
sized in the dock, sinking the tug, and
now lies on her side. The old salts and
admiralty lawyers here are in quite a
puzzled state of mind in consequence
of the complicated questions which are
involved in this accident, In the first
place it is a mooted question whether
the insurance companies can be made
to pay the policies, for the reason that
by the terms of the policies vessels are
compelled always to carry a certain
amount of ballast, an I the Ziba was
certainly without ballast when she cap
sized. Another disputed poiut is
whether the owners of *the bark
will not Lave to pay for
the tug; and the most per
plexing of all the points involved is
how the unusual accident occurred.
For the next two or three days every
body will discuss these points, and then
we shall return once more to our
Complicated Political Fight,
which is growing more muddled and
incomprehensible every day. The Con
servatives, so-called, by which I mean
the Wagener Conservatives of the
executive committee, have opened the
ball by ordering primary elections for
delegates to the nominating convention,
on Wedneseay next. Polls will be
opened in the various wards between
the hours of 12 and 3 P. M., and the
Wagenerites and anti-Wagenerites and
Bowenites and Mackeyites will do their
level best to send in their delegates,
and it is not at all improbable that the
whole thing will break up in a general
row. If this is averted, and the pri
maries are successfully conducted, the
nominating convention will meet on the
Friday following, and will doubtless
break up iu a bolt. Iu the meanwhile
the Radicals, who have set the Con
servatives by the ears, are quietly
laughing in their sleeves.
Tlie Long Dry Spell
cotiuues and the water famine gets
more distressing every day. Bo great
is the demand that a GO feet artesian
well in the lower portion of Meeting
strext is crowded by negroes from early
dawn until long after midnight. The
handle of that pump never ceases to
wag, except when it is worn out and
taken away to make room for anew
one, which occurs about ouce iu twen
ty-four hours. This is the only public
well in that section of the city, and it
has to supply water for about 5,000
persons.
Charleston Notes and Gossip.
New cotton is coming in freely, and
the harbor is getting crowded with
shipping.
The Annual Rifle Match which takes
place at Creedmoor, Long Island, on
the 28th inst., is attracting attention,
and it is rumored that a team from
Charleston will be there.
It costs $6,000 a month to work the
streets—and they are poorly worked,
too.
For the first time siuce the late war,
Charleston is represented at West
Point by an intelligent white native.
The cadetship was won at a competitive
examination, by Mr. M, P. Jenkins, a
son of the distinguished Confederate
General of that name.
Most of the rifle clubs in the city are
endeavoring to raise the means of pur
chasing new and handsome uniforms,
in time for the Fort Moultrie Centen
nial, when we expect to have the splen
did companies of the Augusta Battalion
with us. Qui Vive.
The Children of the Poor.
BY CHARLES MACKAY.
Pity the children of the poor,
Who’ve never pluck 'd the daisies,
Who’ve never watched the skylark soar.
Or heard it singing praises;
Who’ve never trod the fresh green sward,
Or ram Lied by the river—
They need a holiday, ye rich,
And Heaven rewards the giver!
Pity the little pattering feet
That swarm in fetid alleys.
And grimy hands that might be swaet
’Hid cowslips of the valleys!
Palo lips that might grow rosy red
Where fresh free breezes quiver—
Provide a holiday, ye rich,
And Heaven reward the giver!
Pity the little bright blue eyes
That never saw the ocean,
Or gaz-d with innocent surprise
At wild waves in commotion.
Send—send them forth one happy day,
To hill or sea or river;
’Tis great to them, but small to you,
And Heaven reward the giver!
From healthful joy comes wholesome
thought
And sense of nature’s beauty,
And mid instruction, wisdom-lraught,
Of pity and of duty;
All withered in the noisome slums!
Deliver them, deliver!
’Twill cost you little, oh, ye rich,
And God reward the giver!

Attahed, and owing to roccent improvements in this Evener, the laps when readyl for
the card, only varies one quarter of an ounee to the yard. The cost of picking by this
system is only aboutone mill per pound on the cloth produced, and the picker house is
safer from fire than the card r< mi.
flS*There is al- o a great saving of room and power over the old system.
These Machines may be seen at the mills of the Augusta Facto rv, Langley Manufac
turing Company, and at the best mins at Lowell, Lawrence, Fall River, Manchester
Lewiston. Providence, Richmond, Baltimore, etc., etc.

any opening and picking arrangement I have ever seen, we have not weighed a pound
of cotton upon the picker apron since starting, yet we have had a remarkable regularity
of numbers. The staple is not injured .by over boating, and it leaves tlio picker without
being curled or knitted; the seeding and cleaning is very complete. Over forty per
cent, in labor in this department is saved over the old system. One of the greatest con
siderations with this arrangement is its secur ty against fire.
