©)c Consfitutionnlist AUGUSTA, GA.: Saturday Morning, Sept 25, 1875 CURRENT TOPICS. The Political Revolution—The Work of Three Years. In 1872 Gen. Grant was so overwlielmn ingly re-elected that it was gravely doubt ed it' the Democratic party could ever be sufficiently reorganized to again take the Hold. Had the Republican party then adopted a policy of wisdom and modera tion, of conciliation and justice, it would have been difficult indeed to once more suf flciently arouse the Democracy to win a victory. Flushed with success, confident of a perpetual hold upon power, it even committed more excesses and more outra ges upon the Constitution and decency than it did during the highest excitements and frenzies of the war. Its Congress set the people at defiance, voted itself back pay, tolerated Credit Mobelier rings, white washed notorious rascals among its mem bers who had committed felonies, and spent two-thirds of every session passing bills of revenges upon the South. At last the people became disgusted and commenced striking them down. Here is what has taken place since, summed up by the Cincinnati Enquirer: Figures are eloquent. More than any thing else, they are accurately expressive. They never fie. Let them tell the recent growth of Democratic power in the United .States: In 1870, four Democratic Govern ors; in 1875, twenty-four Democratic Gov ernors. In 1870, four Democratic Legisla tures; in 1875, twenty-four Democratic Legislatures. In 1870, ninety Democratic members of the House of Representatives of the United States; in 1875, one hundred and eighty members of that body. In 1870, ‘ waive Democratic members of the Senate of the United States; in 1875, twenty-eight members. Thus the Democracy are pro gressing. Thus they are gravitating to the possession of the power of the Federal Government. They will attain it in the Centennial year. “ rhe result in Maine,” says the Savan na li New 8, “adds to the potency of the above facts. Official and reported returns from all the counties of California but two, in which the vote is very small, give Ir win, Democrat, 56,601; Phelps, Republi can, 29,691, and Bidwell. Independent, 27.4:i0. Irwin’s plurality over Phelps is 20,910, and his vote is within 520 of the com bined vote of the Republicans and Inde pendents. The Independents have been c >mplained of by the organs for defeating the Republicans, but as their vote is within 2,264 of the Republican vote, it is a question whether the Independents should not com plain of the Republicans keeping the field.” Nor will this revolution stop here. It has accomplished nothin < yet. It will sweep on until “the last armed foe expires”— until a Democrat takes the oath of office as‘President of the United States. Never was anything more plain than that the people are determined to exterminate the barnacles upon the body politic, rescue their government from the hands into which it has fallen, establish a reign of honor, establish peace, bring the country back t'; its ancient prosperity, and the days when malfeasance in office was unheard of, when statesmen looked not to the interest of one section but all over the broad land, and enacted laws which, like the dews of Heaven, descended equally upon all. The Georgia Crops —A Good Report. The writer, two months since, expressed the prediction that Georgia, this year, would raise nearly enough corn to do her. This is confirmed by the last report of our Commissioner of Agriculture, Dr. Jay.ne. The estimated deficiency of a supply of corn for the State next year, is a general j vemge of 17 per cent, existing in 73 coun- ! ties out of 137 counties, while only 17 coun ties report a surplus. These counties hav ing a surplus, report an average of 21 per cent, more than needed for home use, while the 73 different counties report an average deficiency of 23 per cent. When it is re membered that a few years ago we im ported fifty per cent, of all the corn U3ed, the deficiency now of only seventeen per j cent, w ill mark an era of substantial and ! real progress. And may we not hope that i in one more twelvemonth there will be no ! deficiency at all ? The surplus wheat, oats, hay and pea crops produced will more than make up for the deficiency in corn. We, therefore, now seriously ask the question, will Georgia be under the neces ■ ty of buying any l'orago at all for her st<>c..V Of course, some localities, some men, the cities and towns, will have to buy, and many will purchase from the West from force of habit. But if our forage was equally distributed, the Commissioner says we would only be sh >rt seventeen per cent, of the wholo amount demanded. Just here we would ask him how he reckons the non-producing classes? Does he include them with the farmers? Is the stock of citizens of towns and cities classed with that on the plantations? It s vans to us that this would require all, if not m< uv, than seventeen per cent, of the pr< ducts of the farms to maintain. A Rainbow in the West—A Strange Sight. Those of our citizens who were up with the sun yesterday morning could have seen a sight onlv witnessed but once perhaps in a long life time. It was a rainbow in the West. The sun had just risen and was shooting its first bright lances over the sur face of the earth. A gentle rain had been falling, when there was born in a moment “the rainbow of promise” with all its siren prismatic colors, perfectly arching the Western horizon. The most exquisite paint ing from the hand of man was not so per fect -the finest piece of mechanism on earth to-day is not equal to the perfect arch formed. A rainbow in the West is not seen more than once in liity years. The afternoon when the sun is going down is the favorite time for their appearance. As God set his bow in the heavens as a token of peace after the Deluge, perhaps this was o i.inous after the terrible storms and tornadoes which have visited the South during the last five months. Father Beeson, the Indian peace policy lecturer, has issued a call to “pastors of all denominations,” to make up their minds In advance what ought to be the de cision of a meeting he expects to invite them to presently, of which the following will be objects: 1. To ascertain the reason why Christian civilization is such a lamentable failure. 2. To adopt a platform which shall em body a provision for the enjoyment of the natural rights of all persons, regardless of color, grade or sex. 3. To nominate a President of the United States whose rightly-formed head and well ordered previous life shall be a sufficient guarantee of fitness for the office. Sir Douglas Forsyth, English envoy to an Indian court, had a curious experience recently upon a point of etiquette. Ordi nary envoys are required to approach the majesty of the court bare-footed in the muddy corridor. The English envoy hesi tated and at last refused to walk bare-foot cd across the mud. The Indian court there upon offered to compromise by laying down a carpet if the envoy would take of his b ,ots. After some consideration he con sented and took off his boots. Though bootless himself, his errand was not; he obtained the concession he sought. A radx in Paris is introducing anew fa-hiou in regard to furniture. She is hav ing all her chairs, sofas, and even her car riage, stuffed with aromatic herbs, which fill the air with an agreeable, but not too powerful perfume. The fashion is deriv ed from th ) Eastern nations, and prevails extensively over a considerable part of Asia. TAKE SIMMONS’ LIVER REGULATOR For all diseases of the Liver, Stomach and Spleen.

The laps are then finished on a TWO-BEATER LAPPER, WITH KITSON’S PA I'lvAT EVENER Attahed, and owing to reccent improvements in this Evener, the laps when ready for the card, only varies one quarter of an ounce 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 room. *S“There is al- o a great saving of room and power over the old system.
