Tuesday Morning, October, 5, 1875.
The Melancholy Days.
i.
As the seasons run their round
In the papers will be found
Certain phrases. Thus, in spring’.
They talk of “Winter Lingering;”
About November First or so
Is the time of “Beautiful Snow;”
With the soft September hate
Enter “The Melancholy Days."
n
To the skilled observer, all
Kigns of these times are signs of fall.
Autumn on the trees o’erhead
Golden tints the leaves or red;
Vagrant gusts the belle attack,
And pull her pull-back further ba^k,
Give her hair an extra frizz,
Aud make her cheek more red than 'tis.
in.
At the watering-places all
De-erted is the banquet-hall;
Winters, without reprobation,
Take stamps of small denomination;
liarely rises from the sea
A blue-nosed Anadyomene,
The chilly salt spray splashing through
To shiver a protracted “Ugh r
IV,
In lanes once consecrate to ball,
Echoes now the mud-lark’s call;
“Shinny your side.” At break of light,
With frost the sidewalks sparkle white.
“Fall Styies” are in the windows shown;
Theatre portals wide are thrown;
All the world comes back to town,
Coal goes up aud stocks come down.
v.
A las! the children. Many of them
Are taken sick towards 9 a. m.;
Naught in the papers one espies
But “tricks exposed” and oft-nailed lies;”
In railroad car, saloon, or boat
i lie social nuisance “takes a vote;”
The ice-cream screamer’s scream is dumb—
The Melancholy Days Have Come.
GEORGIA’S FINANCIAL CONDI
TION.
Letter From Charles Nordhoff.
To the Editor of the Herald:
I thank you for sending me the com
munications, which I enclose, and which
I hope you will print with my reply.
I have to say ;
1. I have not anywhere written or
said that the debt of Georgia is larger
than that of other Southern States, as
“Subscriber” asserts. On the contrary,
in a letter in the Herald, dated Septem
ber 11th, I called special attention to
the financial condition of Georgia, say
ing, what is true and obvious, that it
“compares remarkably with the con
dition of Louisiana, Arkansas and
other Southern States which have been
under Republican control;” and added
that the State debt amounts to but
eight millions, the State’s credit is high
in New York aud Europe, the county
and local debts are trifling, and there
is a surplus in the State treasury of a
million. These words follow this gen
eral statement in my letter: “It is al
together such a showing as these
Democrats need not be ashamed of,”
I may add that the Augusta Constitu
tionalist of September 26th remarks :
“Air. Nordhoff never attacked the State
finances of Georgia, aud yet some of
our contemporaries are publishing long
articles to prove that he did.”
2. I made no such comparison be
tween Georgia aud Mississippi as Mr.
Wofford asserts and evidently believes
I did. His letter, however, incidental
ly confirms some of my remarks upon
Georgia—namely, that its soil is older
and more worn than that of some of
the newer Southwestern States ; and
that the manufactures of Georgia are
in a singularly prosperous condition.
?>lr. Wofford’s letter confirms all I wrote
on these points. But, I repeat, I made
no comparison between Georgia and
Mississippi such as he seems to think I
did.
3. I was greatly puzzled to account
for such misrepresentations of my re
port to you on Georgia, until I noticed
that several Georgia journals discuss,
n< >t my letters as they appeared in the
Herald, but the comments upon them
made in some Northern journals ; aud
I am taken to task for these comments.
We are here, in the North, just now in
the middle of an election excitement,
and I prefer to be judged by my own
words, and not by partisan versions of
imyeport.
4. Some of the Georgia journals sug
gest that I was deceived about the
number of people who have left the
State. I xeply that I received my fig
ures, not from a negro as they suppose,
nbr from Republican sources, but from
several of the most eminent Democrats
in the State. I added, what these jour
nals confirm, that this emigration
would not hurt the State, because it
opened the way for emigrants from
other States.
5. I did say that the cotton region
of Georgia seemed to me less prosper
ous than that of some other States,
adding that the grain and farming
c untry was reported highly prosper
ous, and that the manufactures of the
State were remarkably successful. I
accounted for the condition of the
planters by the fact, admitted by Mr.
Wofford and by the newspapers, that
much of the cotton land is worn and
needs manure; and by the injurious
effects of the “ lien law ” now repealed.
Every planter I met in the State spoke
to me of this law. As an evidence of
what had been told me, I quoted from
a Georgia Democratic journal, an Au
gusta paper, a table showing the busi
ness failures in Georgia during the pre
vious six months, and comparing them
with those in other States. I mention
ed that the table was taken from a
Georgia newspaper ; I do not suppose
the Georgian meant to or did misrepre
seet his own State.
I believe, if your correspondents, Mr.
Wofford and “ Subscriber,” or any
other fair-minded Georgians, read my
letters, they will see that I have given
a careful and accurate accouut of their
State. Almost every statement ac
tually made by me to which, so far as
I know, exception has been taken, came
to me from Democratic sources. It
would have been easy to make a par
tisan statement either from the Repub
lican or the Democratic standpoint, but
I did not do so,
Charles Nordhoff.
Alpine, N. J., Sept. 28, 1875.
Abel—Mr, Abel, of the Baltimore
Sun, is the richest newspaper publish
er ill America. He is a native of New
England, northern in his business
views, southern in his political views.
Abel gets about $125,000 a year out of
the Baltimore Sun. He makes his
greatest profits in coal fields, having
taken for a bad debt of S7OO a piece of
mountain land full of fuel; in manipu
lating it ho discovered the value of
coal lands, continued on in that form
of investment, and as he acquired
money, put it in Baltimore city su
burban real estate. He had the largest
income of any Baltimorean, even in the
lifetime of John Hopkins ; his income
at present is larger than that of John
W. Garrett or Alexander Brown &
Sons.
A newspaper correspondent, looking
pale and haggard, passed through the
city yesterday. He was from the Ohio
campaign. Within a few days, from
700 to 800 more speeches are to be made
in the State, and Gen. Thomas Ewing
aud Gen. Woodford are to hold eight
discussions on the finances. If all the
wind expended in this contest should
suddenly concentrate somewhere and
start for somewhere else, the rest of
the tornadoes would retire from the
business.
