,J. R. RANDALL, Editor.
The Oldest Democratic Paper m the
State of Georgia.
CURRENT TOPICS.
Bismarck is a very Mephisto. a Machi
ayel. His reference to, Austria was a
biting sarcasm— “ Germany will hold her
up like the lead in the frame work that
holds up the puppet.” It is truth in his
oitter speeches which hurts so much.—
Nashville American.
Grant’s majority over Greeley was
762,931. The Chicago Tribune calls atten
tion to it to show that Mr. Tilden’s popu
lar majority is not the largest ever cast.
Has it occurred to the Tribune that to ob
tain the majority it allows him of 300,000,
there must have been a change of 1,062/.<61
votes ?
Herald: The party which shows the most
reverence for the constitution and the
most sciupulous respect for its limitations
is the party of the future. The constitu
tion of the United States is still the corner
stone of our political fabric. The party
which falls upon this stone may be broken
for a day, but the party on which this
stone shall fall will be ground by it to
powder.
Baltimore Sun: Senator Blaine was
among the most excited and interested of
the outsiders, and it seemed as if he could
hardly restrain himself from jumping in
and taking part. He said that he would
give ten years of his life to be back in the
House. Heseeins to feel that Mulligan
has been lost or forgotten. Seldom, if
ever, has anew Speaker on the first day of
assuming his duties, bad to undergo such
an ordeal as that which fell upon Mr. Ran
dall to-day. but ho was entirely equal to
it, and wielded big gavel as if he bad been
in the chair al£his life.
Montgomery Advertiser: The Howe Sew
ing Machine Company are sending out let
ters to the papers making "excuse*” for
Pettibone, the State Agent of New York,
who wrote officially to five hundred subor
dinates and employes lhat, if they voted
for T ilden they would be discharged. Mr.
Stockwell, the State Manager of New
York, says his "competitors got hold of
the letter and had it printed to damage his
business.” Why don’t the company dis
charge Pettibone?
Boston Post : "Bull-dozing” is not con
fined to the South, much less to the Demo
cratic party. In many manufacturing es
tablishments in boasted New England a
moral intimidation is practiced upon voters
quite as effective as the lash. Fur instance
iu the Saco Water Power machine shop no
Democrat has been employed for years.
Many of the laborers there desired to vote
the Democratic ticket this year, but dared
not do so from peril of discharge. This
corporation employs three or four hundred
hands. This accounts for Biddeford giving
only seventeen majority against the usual
Democratic majority of two hundred.
Much of the stock in the corporation is
owned in Boston.
The Norfolk Landmark gives some good
advice to the Southern Democrats in Con
gress. Coining from an intelligent and
pronounced Southern Democratic source,
it is worth considering. It recommends
that the Democrats of the House should
make the sessions of that body mere busi
ness meetings, and should avoid much ora
tory as they would the seven deadly sins.
It advises the Southern members—the
"rebels,” the “Confederates,” the “brig*
andfl,” as they are called—to remain in the
b ickground of the scene, and leave the
Northern men to occupy public attention.
In the Senate the same organization ought
to exist among the friends of constitutional
liberty, leaving the light there, as in tire
House, to Northern men.
The Nashville American, thoroughly dis
gusted with those Radical returning boards
at the South, declares that "the next thing
will be a sort of theological returning
board to make the sinner’s calling and elec
tion sure.” If such a board were organ
ized and worked as thoroughly in the in
terest of the devil as are those down South,
the sinner would stand a mighty poor
chance of getting a certificate that anybody
else but the devil would recognize as valid.
Courier-Journal.
Dr. Morris believes with Dr. Carpenter
that there is a morbific element that enters
into the scarlatina poison not to be found
in the poison of typhus and typhoid fevers,
and not subject to known sanitary law;
further, that this poison is of an animal,
(not confined to vertebrate animals), not a
vegetable nature. As to the propagation
of scarlet fever by the inlection of sewers
in which animal matter is confined, Dr.
Morris has not the slightest doubt. Ac.
cording to this theory there is an explana
tion of the prevalence of scarlatina among
the wealthier classes, where the water
closets are frequently defective, and the
excrements are, therefore retained in the
pipes to poison the surrounding atmos
phere. These views, relating to one of the
greatest scourges of humanity, are worthy
serious consideration, and should be inves
tigated whenever opportunity is afforded.
N. Y. Express : It will not do. The fine
spun arguments of the Herald are too thin.
Mr. Haves cannot be run into the Execu
tive chair for twenty-five thousand dollars,
nor will the Democratic party sell out their
undoubted right for the glittering prom
ises and generalities of Mr. Haves. One of
the Herald's correspondents coolly pro
poses a settlement by making Chief Justice
M aixe President by consent of Kayes and
Til PEN', and the Republican Senate to
mako one of its members Vice-President.
This, too, is another handle to the Repub
lican jug. It is all upon one side, and all
against the voice of the people.
Cremation has found its way into Arizo
na. The Denver News gives this account
of the death and cremation of the mother
of Macadow, a noted captain of the Mo
have tribe: “The wake was kept up for
several days, during which time fourteen
line horses, the pioperty of the relatives
of the deceased, were burned. It is the
custom of the tribe to bum all the effects
of the relatives of the deceased at the time
of death. Besides the fourteen horses
mentioned, several tons of mescal, a large
quantity of seeds, a considerable sum in
silver coin, and all the provisions and cloth
ing of the relatives of deceased were con
sumed. Even the clothing they wore wear
ing when they commenced their march
around the funeral pyre helped to feed the
ilames, and the mourners return ed to their
homes as naked as when they came into
the world.”
Courier-Journal: Although the mills of
the gods are old-fashioned contraptions,
with none of the modern improvements,
and are not to be compared with the great
steam merchant mills of our day, yet when
once started, they keep hammering away,
and never fail in the end to turn out as flue
an article of meal as one cares to see. In
other wort's,
"The ’uiUs of the gods grind slow,
But they grind exceeding fine.”
Hence, it may bo confidently believed that
the fraudulent work of the Returning
Boards of Kellogg and Chamberlain and
Stearns will ere long bo ground to pow
der, in spite of Grant’s attempt to thrust
theungrouud grist down the throats of
the people with the bayonet, and that, at
the proper time, Samuel J. Tilden will be
peaceably inaugurated President of the
United States. If the Almighty establish
ed this great Republic for any wise and
beneficent purpose, such a result is just as
pertain as if it palpably bore
The Sphinx.
Grant is evidently determined to as
sume, to the last, his Sphinx-like char
acter. Mr. Stephens tries hard and
ever so charitably to think him a pa
triot. Gov. Randolph, of New Jersey,
parted with him, some weeks ago, con
vinced that he was disposed to beirp
i>artial. Lt.-Gov. Dorsheimeß thinks,
or thought him, a fair man. And now
we learn from special dispatches to the
Philadelphia Times, under date of
Washington, the fourth instant,
that "much interest is felt here
as to Grant’s real position on the
Southern question. Mr. Hewitt still
avers his complete confidence in the
President’s good intentions, but that
confidence is Dot shared by other lead
ing Democrats. At a conference of
such leaders, which lasted last night
until 1 o’clock, it was asserted that
Grant, notwithstanding his fair words
to Hewitt, caused dispatches to be sent
to New Orleans instructing the Return
ing Board not only to count in the
Hayes electors, but also to count out
all the Democratic Congressmen. A
dispatch in cipher was also sent
4.0 Wade Hampton. On the other hand,
Democrats who attended that confer
ence are anxious that the Democratic
press shall cease, for a few days at
least, their assaults on Grant, of which
he complains so bitterly. It Is certain
that negotiations of some sort are pend
ing. It is most probable that the Cabi
net meeting to-day was called to con
sider those negotiations. It is certain
that both sides are kept pretty well
posted as to the movements of the
other, and that the Democrats suspect
the sincerity of the President.”
We are inclined to think as well as
we can of the President, but God
knows, in the presence of acts such as
we have witnessed during his term of
office, and iu view of what is now
transpiring, it would seem to be the
height of folly to believe either in his
patriotism or sincerity. If he will per
form one genuine feat of patriotism,
unaccompanied with duplicity, the
South, with characteristic good humor,
would be willing to applaud it. Bat the
prospect is not favorable, whether the
attacks upon him cease or continue.
Mr. Withers’ Resolution.
The resolution of Mr. Withers, of
Virginia, requesting of the President
his reasons for sending United States
troops to Petersburg during the elec
tion may, if answered, bring up the
whole question of military interference,
and that is one of the biggest ques
tions of the day. It has agitated the
public mind for years, and is still a
pivotal topic, prophetic of storm. We
give a few examples of how the papers
talk upon the subject. The Courier-
Journal says: "Somebody should be
held to account for the late South
Carolina bayonet outrage. Grant tries
to crawl out of responsibility by blam
ing RuoEß.and RuGEßsays his sergeant
disobeyed his orders in excluding mem
bers of the Legislature. Grant is evi
dently the author of the crime. The
jubilation of his organs over the out
rage is a sure indication that the whole
gang of conspirators knew that Roger
had his orders to interfere with the
Legislature from headquarters at
Washington. Popular suspicion rests
upon Ulysses Simpson Grant.”
In an admirable leader the World
discusses the matter exhaustively, and
concludes as follows: “But for the
uses to which Grant has put the army
since 1808, none of the existing perils
would be upon the nation. It was the
intrusion of bayonets which brought
about the condition of disorder in
Louisiana in 1872 and 1874.. If every
soldier had in 1868 been stationed iu
the Indian country and kept there,
non a of the distressing perils of to-day
would have been about us. But for
the army, the vile carpet-bagger would
have been unknown iu the South, and
the relations of native born whites and
blacks would have been well on the
way toward a happy adjustment. This
unconstitutional and illegal use of the
army is the great overtopping issue of
the hour, and if the Democracy have
not the energy, courage and patriot
ism to adequately deal with it, the
Democracy may as well retire from the
business of constitutional Government
in this country.”
We say Amen ! and Amen ! to that.
Grant’s Bombshell.
The President's special message to
Congress conveying the raw-head
and bloody-bones campaign docu
ment of the partisan pimps he
seat to New Orleans seems to
have acted like a bombshell upon
the Democratic members. It prob
ably was intended to do so, and
therefore, while vigorously repelling
the insult, they should keep cool, and
dispose of the thing as it deserves.
We note in our latest New Orleans ex
changes that quite a number of the
pimp committee’s tales of horror are
being exposed as shameless lies and
forgeries. Properly handled, the very
weapon deemed most potent to make a
case for Hayes and the Returning Boaid
of Louisiana may be turned to their
confusion. The design of the Radicals,
from the highest to the lowest, is to ir
ritate and excite the Democratic Con
gressmen. Let them be cool, wary and
determined.
m i
A Sermon in Short Metre.
What a funny tning it would be to
have Grant and the Radical party
break up the Union as they have des
troyed the Constitution! Would not
the South have her fill of revenge—if
she could feel revenge at all—at such
a consummation ! Drive on that apple
cart!
A correspondent of the JPorid, after
reviewing the Presidential question in
all of its aspects, says : “Such a strug
gle—when one candidate relies on his
law books, the partisans of the other
reverse the decisions of the Supreme
Court of a sovereign State by the cor
poral of the guard—can have but one
end. In such a struggle, essentially a
waiting race, in which time, patience
and far-reaching skill rnay be safely
trusted to work their perfect work,
those who know best the President
elect know he has no superior.”

Mr. Evarts is said to regard the
Presidential question somewhat in the
light of a bankrupt railroad. He favors
the appointment of a receiver, and
would uo doubt accept the attorney
ship on a heavy retainer. The Herald
grimly remarks that Gen. Grant is also
in favor of the appointment of a re
ceiver—and he wants to be the receiver.
The New Orleans Times thus explodes
the Cincinnati Enquirer’s latest roor
back, concerning the so-called Hayrs-
Hampton-Lamar compromise : "It was
a peculiarly favorable moment for the
manufacture of a sensation and the
correspondent marked it well. The
whole stoiyisa plausible fabrication
founded on an occurrence not at all
out of the usual order of things. No
body was authorized to represent the
Times in any other capacity than that
of an inquirer of news and nobody did
represent It in any other capacity, nor
was the entertaining programme
sketched out ever mentioned or consid
ered in this office.”
HATES AMD THE SOUTH.
Field Marshal Halstead on the Mew
Departure—He Says that Hayes Does
Mot Chatter or Dicker About His
Policy.
[Special to Phlladephia Times.|
Cincinnati, December 4.
The Commercial of (Sunday morning
oontains, in Columbus dispatches and
editorial, the true story of that inter
view between Governor Hayes and Mr.
Roberts, of New Orleans. I under
stand that Governor Hayes referred,
in this conversation, to what he said of
the South in his letter of acceptance as
the most careful statement of his
views he could make. Nothing was
said about Hampton, except in a very
general way. Lamar had passed
through Columbus the day before on
his way to Washington. He and
Roberts had traveled from New Or
leans together to Cincinnati.
His name was mentioned, and Gov
ernor Hayes courteously expressed the
pleasure thut he would have in making
the personal acquaintance of Lamar.
There is absolutely no political signifi
cance in any sense to be attached to
the interview between Hayes and Rob
erts. Hayes is not the kind of a man
to chatter about his policy if he should
be President He was deeply interest
ed in what Roberts said of the situation
in Louisiana. Roberts expressed his
opinion of Packard and Kellogg, but
Hayes did not express any opiuiou.
The only point in the conversation
that might seem worthy any public at
tention was in the remark made by
Hayes touching the importance to the
South of a peaceable laboring class.
On this subject the Governor was
animated and emphatic. He said the
South could not be prosperous with au
uneasy and disaffected laboring class.
The South needed contented labor and
peace, that capital might be persuaded
there. The stories that there were ne
gotiations between Hayes and Roberts,
or formal consultation or a talk about
the programme of an administration
If Hayes should be President, are
thoroughly false, and taken wholly out
of the heads of those who attempt to
make up for lack of information by
reckless inventions. M. Halstead.
Roberts, Lamar and Cook Unite in De
claring the Stofy Absurd.
Washington, December 4. —There is a
conflict of opinions here as to the true
inwardness of the interview which
Roberts, of the New Orleans Times,
certainly had with Governor Hayes
last week, and which was made the
basis of a statement, in last Sunday's
Cincinnati Enquirer , that a pledge was
secured from Mr. Hayes that the con
duct of his administration toward the
South should be governed by the lead
ers of the South. Roberts himself,
who is here, affects to be much nettled
at the publication, and says that the
only truth in it is that he did have a
letter from Murat Halstead to Hayes,
that he did call on him at Columbus
and took dinner with him by invitation.
He denies explicitly that he went
there in any such interest as is imput
ed to him by the Enquirer dispatch, or
that he was empowered to make any
such overtures or did make any such
overtures. Mr. Lamar has but one
word to say of the story, viz., “Absurd,
and Theodore S. Cook, of the Third
National Bank, of Cincinnati, whom the
dispatch charges with being on here in
the same interest, says to-night that
the whole story is absurd and ridicu
lous. These are the declarations of the
interested parties.
