CURRENT TOPICS.
Ic is reported in London that a daughter
of Bip Van Winkle Jefferson is about to
marry Fabjeon, the novelist.
The New York Sun has a bad attack of
the nightmare or something worse, and
sees millions of snakes in the electoral
bill— Baltimore Gazette.
Commodore Vanderbilt has been heard
from in the spirit world. The medium
asked him how he did, and he replied: "I
am free; I can now make out my plans
without teing hampered.”
The Rev. Stuart Robinson, of Louis
ville, who recently got a verdict for $30,000
against the Globe-Democrat of St. Louis for
libel, has generously refused to accept more
than $2,708.
Marshal Jewell is said to have diecov

leather, while minister at St. Petersburg.
It lies simply in the fact that birch-bark
tar is used to dress the skins with instead
of grease and tallow.
At the outset Mr. Moody hurled defiance
at “all the infidels in Boston,” and intima
ted that the Hub is “a peculiar city,”
which led the Post to say: “The city is
proverbially hospitable to ideas as well as
to men, and the imputation that Boston is
ready to sneer down Moody and Sankey
deserves to be immediately resented.”
There is the unstrained venom in Nast's
last cartoons which betokens rage and
despair. Before the States are all counted
he may be expected to fall upon the pois
onous point of his pencil and commit hari
kari. Then what a iiow of—beer.—Nash
ville American.
Some of the Philadelphia papers are
nearly fdled with advertisements of real
estate In that city to be sold at public sale
under the Sheriff’s hammer. The sales to
a large extent are to secure mortgages and
taxes. Real estate in Philadelphia, as in
other cities, has largely depreciated in
value, and will not sell for much more thin
half what it would three or four years ago.
Ln tlefield was originally from Maine,
lie resided for some time in Illinois,
whence ho went to Galveston, and came to
New Orleans in 1870. He was taken into
favor by Kellogg, and appointed a mem
ber of tho Board of Hay Inspectors, from
which office ho was removed by Antoine,
when acting Governor. Littlefield was
a clerk of the Returning Board in 1872, and
has acted at all tho sessions since.
If thepeoploof the United States could
have seen the two white and the two mu
latto returners who, by fraud and other i as
ealiLies, have undertaken to make a Presi
dent, as they stood arraigned tor contempt
before tiie House of Representatives, ou
Saturday last, there would be no occasion
for any electoral commission. The plain
hand of Providence has written their true
characters in every feature— New York Sun-
Looking over the whole ground carefully,
considering the perplexities of the Su
preme Court, and the desire to conciliate
the good opinion of the country, it seems
most probable that the commission will
iind a method of easing their own con
sciences and strengthening their decision
by an award which will not be an absolute
triumph for either, and a partial victory
for each. If there be such a disposition,
the way out of the dilemma is simple
enough. It looks as if Tilden would be
President and Wheeler Vice-President on
the 4th of March.— New York Hun.
The Atlanta people are suggesting in
the Constitution that Gov. Smith be reward
ed with the Presidency of their cotton mill,
which is in a bankrupt condition and has
not a spindlo to be moved. Elegant ar
rangement this—to put a man who has no
bly and honestly served his State, in a
plac e where brains, energy and stamina
could be exhausted in endeavoring to ex
tricate a concern from the irretrievable
ruin in which it has already plunged for
the benefit of the stockholders. This
shows appreciation surely, but of that
class that approaches the ludicrous—Cb
lnmbuß Enquirer.
Mr. Kill has shown himself a strong
partisan, and during the early months of
the last session of Congress did not con
duct himself as a statesman. But he has
learned rapidly. He has grown in inde
pendence, and has shown at times that iirm
liess which maintains itself even against
the opinion of his constituents. Should he
develop as rapidly in his Senatorship he
may lie come what Congress so much needs
—a statesmanlike member of the opposi
tion,—of an opposition which looks to the
country before the party. -Boston Adver
tiser. *
The reported death of Alex. H. Ste
phens ha? elicited from the press of the
whole country expressions of profuDd re
gret. He Is acknowledged to be one of the
few men left in political life who belong to
the old school of statesmen, and who have
made statesmanship a business—not for
gain, not for office, but from conviction that
to serve the country faithfully and well is
the noblest form of ambition possible to
the citizen of a republic. The New York
Evening Post remarks that, as the end of
his long public life appears to be approach
ing, he is assured of the good will and tho
hearty esteem alike of his political iriends
and his political foes. Such an assurance,
at the close of public life, must be a higher
reward than any which the possession of
office can bestow.— Baltimore Hun.
The Czar is trying to shift tho responsi
bility of his great failure upon Europe, but
the fact is, Russia was at the bottom of the
conference movement, and at first intended
to force Turkey Into a war by demanding
what the Porte could and would never per
form. Had Russia proceeded across the
Danube she would have had the sympathy
of the world as the champion of several
millions of oppressed Christians. At pres
ent she appears to have ignobly backed
down from the noble purpose announced
by the Czar Alexander at Moscow. Prince
Milan, of Servia, without Russia, can do
nothing; so the promise of this patriotic
speech to his Serbs has also faded away.
The Turk alone remains triumphant. The
sick man is not so sick as he was Courier-
Journal.
The testimony of Littlefield as to the
forged parish return and that of Colonel
Pickett, which will be fully continued by
Maddox to-morrow, and gains incidental
confirmation even by the remarks of Gov.
Kellogg to a Herald reporter to-day,
cause a sentiment of disgust with the
Louisiana carpet-baggers, whose open
abandonment by Pinchback, Slonaker
and other Republican politicians shows
that they are no longer a power in the
State Rut it is not easy to see how all
these developments, unless they are fol
lowed by the confession of someone of the
Returning Board, can be effectively brought
before the Electoral Commission in such
shape as to compel them to give the State
to Tilden. That, in view of thesedevelop
ments and of other evidence yet to come,
they can give it to Hayes seems impossi
ble on any theory of the commission’s
powers, for, as an able lawyer remarked
to-day, “while the majority of the mem
l)ers may hold, and may perhaps rightly
hold, that they have not power to do abso
lute justice, they will hardly hold that
they are compelled to do injustice.”—Was A
}>Uton (Xr. Herald.
Gov. Colquitt’s Financial Message.
Now that it has entered fairly upon
its work of legislation, after the politi
cal turmoil of the opening weeks of its
session, the General Assembly would
consult the public interests by taking
up Gov. Colquitt’s financial message of
the 20th ult. When it wa3 sent in Mr.
Moses, of Muscogee, one of the oldest
and most experienced members of the
House, moved that three hundred
copies be printed, and while upon the
suggestion of Mr. Walsh, of Richmond,
that course was not then adopted, it is
to be hoped that the proposition will
now be acted on. In tho newspaper
copies of the message, a number of
errors present themselves and it is
desirable that in so important a matter
a correct version should be laid before
members.
It appears from the message that the
sum of 31,792,250 must be raised to
defray the expenses of carrying on the
State Government for the present fiscal
year, unless the General Assembly, by
acting upon the recommendations of
the Governor, reduce this large amount.
In order to show how a reduction can
be made, Gov. Colquitt first explains
that the main items of expense are
three in number, viz: First, on ac
count of the public debt, 8848,005 ;
second, current expenses of the State
Government, 8632,245 ; and third, tem
porary loan, 8312,000 ; total, 81,792,250.
It is then pointed out that this third
item is really a part of the public debt
proper, and it is recommended that It
be made in name what it is in fact, by
being bonded at 6 per cent. In support
of this recommendation the message
says : “The interest upon the bonds
will be less than the cost of the tem
porary loan, while much inconvenience
will be saved, and the liability will be
added where it properly belongs, viz :
to the regular debt,” We think this a
proper suggestion, and trust it may be
acted on, the saving involved being at
the rate of some 820,000 per annum,
while the loan remains out.
The first and the third items, then,
as above set out being in fact reducible
to one, and that the public debt, it fol
lows that no retrenchment is possible
in this direction. What we have prom
ised to pay, wo must pay, principal atd
interest, promptly and upon the nai!.
On this point the message does net
beat about tho bush, but goes straight
to the root of the matter, saying : “So
far as the public debt is concerned we
need expect no lightening at present of
its burdens. We must pay promptly,
principal and Interest, as they fall due,
and we must pay the Interest in money,
so as not to increase the principal of
the debt.”
Coming, however, to the second item
in the above statement, namely, for
the current expenses of the State gov
ernment this year, 3632,245, the mes
sage recommends a number of reform
atory measures which aggregate a sav
ing of some 8150,000, or about twenty
five per cent, of that entire sum. Thus,
it is suggested, among other things,
that the cost of collecting the taxes is
too great, when compared with a like
item in other States, by at least 845,-
000; also, that at least four judicial cir
cuits could be dispensed with; that the
profits on the State printing are excess
ive; and that the General Assembly has
too many attaches, which opinion the
public will cordially share on learning
that there are 124 clerks, messengers,
doorkeepers, assistant doorkeepeis,
etc., etc. These suggestions strike us
as entirely practical, and in view of the
necessity for some aileviation of the
public burdens the General Assembly
should give them an attentive consid
eration. As we figure out Gov. Col
quitt’s recommendations the sum of
81,792,000, which is to be raised this
year as the laws now stand, could be
reduced to 81,240,960, a relief of 8551,-
030, which speaks so pointedly for
itself that we need add no more.
Col. Pickett has led a busy life. He
raised a legion for Kossuth and was
mixed up in the Cuban rebellion. He
was on Breckenbidge’s staff during the
war, and afterward held a position
under Maximilian ia Mexico. He sold
the Confederate archives for 860,000;
one half of which sum came to him and
was disbursed in charity to needy
Southern men and women. For some
years past, he practiced law, iu a small
way, at Washington City. He again
comes to the front as a demolisher of
Returning Boards.
Mr. Eaton was the only Democratic
Senator who voted against the Electo
ral Bill. Whereupon the New York
Day Book says : “If Mr. Tilden’s con
stitutionally-won election is the result
of the deliberations of this Commission,
Mr. Eaton will have shown a lack of
wisdom in not supporting it. If, on the
other hand, Mr. Tilden is‘slaughtered’
by this body, Mr. Eaton’s sagacity will
have been demonstrated.” In other
words, heads I win, tails you lose.
The Augusta Constitutionalist says
there is no more thorough representative
5f Georgia Democracy than Joseph E.
Bbown. Joey B. may represent Col. Ran
dall’s Democracy, but certainly not that
of Georgia. If he is Randall’s idea or a
Democrat, Randall has vast room for the
improvement of his ideas.—La Grange Re
porter.
Will Mr. Waterman inform us as to
the difference now existing between ex-
Gov. Brown and the representative De
mocracy of Georgia ?
Joe Brown espoused the cause of Gov
Smith in the Senatorial race. Will some
of those who talk so strongly of Joe’s
wonderful influence, be kind enough to
point it out now ?—LaGrange Reporter.
Dr. Carlton writes from Atlanta to
his paper as follows: “Gov. Brown
supported Gov. Smith in good faith,
and abandoned him only when his case
was hopeless. Released from his obli
gations to his first choice, Gov. Brown
cheerfully acquiesced in giving sanc
tion to the will of the people, and aided
in electing Mr. Hill. By that course,
the ex-Governor has visibly softened
old time resentments and animosities,
and has made hosts of friends among
the class known as ‘coming politicians,’
young and ambitious men who will
figure in the political struggles of tho
future.” Dr. Carlton’s testimony
ought to satisfy Mr. Waterman of the
Repwter.
Too Late.
A Washington correspondent of the'
New York Express thus touches up
Senator Robertson : “The South Caro
lina Senator, the native Southron, ‘to
rhe manner born,’ is too late in the day
with a defense of his State and her
people; something he proposes to
make in a speech before he shuffles off
forever the official coils he has worn
for several years. His day for this
would have been when poor, down
trodden, tax-ridden South Carolina had
no Hampton at the front to battle with
right and official power on his sidaas
her chief executive and to work suc
cessfully for her. South Carolina owes
nothing to Senator Robertson. He has
never, in all the long years he has been
her representative in the United States
Senate, said a word from his seat ia
favor of the attempt to cast out from
her, like so many unclean spirits, the
devilish crew who have been raiding
upon her for these many unhappy
years. Her star has w aned. It is too
late. Feeble as he is, Robertson might
have at one time immortalized himself
by a vigorous, manly, determined at
tack upon the carpet-bag crew who
have now thrown him overboard—but
not now, not now. There are Demo
crats in Congress from the South who
appreciate the condition of the Pal
metto State better than this now re
pentant gentleman, and their espousal
of her woes are even sweeter to her
friends than anything this native born
Republican can do or say.”
An Ingenious Plea.
Representative Springer, of Missis
sippi, in his speech opposing the Elec
toral Bill, gave as a reason why the
House should reject it that the Senate,
in passing it, had completely cut the
ground from the feet of Ferry, the
President of that body. There Is some
pith in this. The Now York Sun goes
a bow-shot farther and demonstrates,
to its editor's satisfaction, at least, that
the present arbitration is the escape of
the Republican party from threatened
destruction. We quote the reasons
given:
“A conspiracy had been entered into
to count Mr. Hayes in as President. It
was based on fraudulent returns from
Florida and Louisiana, The plan pro
posed was to be carried through by tho
President of the Senate, supported, as
it was expected it would be, by the Re
publican majority in that body.
“This was the scheme, but it must
now be apparent to every one that it
could not have been oarrled out; and
that if it had been carried out, it would
have ruined the Republican party for
ever. The majority of the Senate
would not have consented to it, and tho
failure would have left the Republican
body broken by a radical and fatal
schism, and covered with tho
shame of a defeated conspiracy.
Now, it is true there has been a contro
versy within the party, not much
worse than all parties continually have
to undergo ; but the result is that the
Republicans are extricated from their
immediate peril. The almost absolute
decision of the Presidential question is
left to Judge Joseph P. Bradley,
Newark, a partisan to whom his
never looked iu vain. Hayes being
counted in, the frauds by which this
result is established will be covered
with the quasi mantle of the Supreme
Court ; and if Tilden should possibly
be declared elected,the Republican par
ty will yet have been preserved.
“The gain to the Republicans in this
electoral bill is something immense and
unparalled, while the Democrats have
been signally circumvented. Tho Dem
ocratic House of Representatives had
the determination of this great ques
tion in their own hands, and now it is
in the hands of Joseph P. Bradley.”
This is clever, and, to an opponent of
all compromises, logical reasoning. It
may be answered, however, that the
Republican party will not utterly
escape, in case J udge Bradley shall
disappoint tho expectations of those
who believe him to be a mere partisan ;
and possibly the leading Democrats
imitated the Greek commander, who
refused to destroy the passage way over
the Hellespont, when the Persian host
was in retreat, declaring good
policy suggested that, under certain
circumstances, instead of burning a
wooden bridge, a golden one should be
built for a flying enemy.
The Cartersville Express says:
“Turnbull, of Banks, worked vigor
ously to secure Ben Hill’s election to
the United States Senate, and succeed
ed, and the result is that Turnbull
wants to go to Congress as the succes
sor of Ben Hill. We could not tell
at the time why Turnbull was shoving
Ben Hill; but when Jim told us he was
the head-centre of a wife and five chil
dren, and wanted to go to Congress, we
fully appreciated the situation. We
are a Turnbull man from now out.”
If anybody worked harder for Hill
than Dr. Caalton, of Athens, we do not
know the man.

Consumptives Take Notice. j
EVERY MOMENT OF DELAY MAKES
your cure more hopeless, and much de
pends on the judicious choice of a remedy.
The amount of testimony in favor of Dr.
Schonck’s Pulmonic Syrup, a3 a cure foi
Consumption, far exceeds all that can be
brought to support tho protensions of any
other medicine. See Dr. Schenck’s Alma
nac, containing the certificates of many
persons of the highest respectability, who
have been restored to health, after being
pronounced incurable by physicians of ac
knowledged ability. Schenck’s Pulmonic
Syrup alone has cured many, as those evi
dences wili show; but tho cure is often
promoted by the employment of two other
remedies which Dr. Sohenck provides for
the purpose. These additional remedies
are Schenck’s Sea Weed Tonic and Man
drake Pills. By the timoly use of these
medicines, according to directions, Dr.
Schenck certifies that most ai>y ease of
Consumption may be cured.
