The Grout Strikes -Til© Pauses
And whut they are to Lend to
Wo look upon the groat strikes in
the North as an uprising of the mas
ses to ro-assort their personal free
dom ns against corporate power, and
their political rights ns against an
organized despotism. It is the proc
lamation of the laboring multitudes
of the densely populated North ft
gainst the upstart aristocracy, which
by means of their banks, bonds, and
cruel and unholy stealings, have
subsidized to their use the labor of
the toiling masses, and now seek by
all of their acts, to enslave the labor
ing classes in every conceivable way.
They control the pulpits; they cor
rupt religion; they buy up the press
to delude tho people into the fatal
belief that n cowardly and time-serv
ing expediency had bettor bo endur
ed than resist the power of these
Bond Autocrats; who by their every
act make tho burdens of the poor
more and more unbearable; with the
Government at their backs to enact
proscriptive and tyranical laws; mak
ing it' a felony for the poor laborer
to question their high pretensions
and usurpations.
Tho national task-masters, (bond
holders). liavo at their will, passed
lor thoir special benefit, to tho detri
ment of the laboring classes, laws to
suit their schemes and plans.
They have set up mammon for
their God, inado greenbacks the
measure of all merit, and seek by
their duplicity to stare in the ghastly
faces of the poor, bankruptcy and
starvation. But the oppression as
afforded to the rich by tho greenback
System of this country has by its
rapid contraction been carried too
far, and the poor of whom the mas
ses are composed, like mighty lions,
liavo been aroused from their lair:
and we make the assertion, there will
never bo again any certainty, or secu
rity against these outbreaks until
something is done that will givo to
the poor man equal rights with the
rich, and a fair compensation for his
labor.
These usurpers will ties troy the
country. Already their stolon
authority sounded the knell in the
lato and continued strikes. This is
certainly no idle fear, but a natural
consequence of the enslaving of the
laboring whites by the Bond Autocra
cy. Let them beware! Let them
hoed the warning ere it is too late to
avert a catastrophe so dire.
The laboring classes arc counter
plotting the machinations of their
would-be masters, and being largely
in the majority they will in the end
win. Then will anger and revenge
give place to love, and peace will
reign supreme.
The causes of distress will be close
ly scrutinized in the next elections,
and whatover stands in the way will
be remedied whether the bond-hold
er is pleased at tho result or not.
The end will come sooner or later.
Cotton Trade of Savannah.
Wo notice thaWthe Savannah News
atld Quitman Reporter are discussing
the question of which is tho better
cotton market foi>the people of this
section—Savannah or New York.—
W r e feel no intorest iu urging any
thing against Savannah as a mar
ket; indeed, wo have, naturally, a
preference for that city, hut it is a
matter of strange surprise to us that
the Notes is so slow to recognize and
a’nd appreciate the true situation.—
When facts, such as those of which
She Reporter complains, are brought
before tho public mind, and, as in
tliis case, notoriously known or be
lieved to be true, any attempt at con
cealment will avail absolutely noth
ing. Tho true interests of Savan
nah, in our humble opinion, would
he belter and more substantially sub
served by ufeeting tho ease fairly and
squarely and offering remedies for
the evil complained of.
Without, however going into any
lengthy argument as to whether or
not it is td the interest of the ship
pers of Southern Georgia and Flori
da to adopt Now York as a market
in preference to Savannah, no one
can fail to note tho fact that a large
amount of cotton is being shipped
to the former place that, heretofore
has been handled exclusively by Sa
vannah merchants. There must be
some reason for this change, and, as
wo beforo remarked, the sooner Sa
vannah seoks out and expels this
skeleton from her closet, the better
for her commercial prosperity. We
would be glad to see all the cotton of
this entire section go to Savannah,
but if tho business men of that city
see tit to allow it to pass by their
doors and seek a Northern market
simply for want of the proper effort
on their part, tho blame must be
properly located upon their own
heads.
As fares Bainbfidge is concerted,
wo hardly suppose any one will ex
pect us to ship cotton to Savannah
over tho Atlantic & Gulf Railroad at
00 cents, when we can ship it to New
York, by the Florida route, for 80
cents per hundred pounds—leaving
entirely alono the question of tho
difference in prices, classification or
rates of interest-. fi-jiabridge Demo
crat.
Wo will defer onr reply to tho
Morning Neian of tho 4th inst., on
“Tho Cotton Trade of .Savannah,”
until next week.

ATLANTA LETTER,
Atlanta, Ga., July 28, 1877.
Tho proceedings of the Conven
tion during the past week, though
of little consequence so far as volu
bility of work concerned, have nev
ertheless been of considerable interest
at least to the visiting spectators, if
not to the peoplo at large. At times
tbo debate assumed a wide range,
and became stormy and acrid. All
tbs prominent speakers of tbo body
participated, either upon tho one side
or the other. Even the President
left his chair and threw himself in the
breach with all his wonted energy
and strength.
Tho first debate of an exciting na
ture was sprung on ’Wednesday mor
ning, when Mr. Lawson, of Putnam,
moved to reconsider the clause in the
bill of rights prohibiting the granting
of irrevocable and perpetual im muni
tion to corporations. This was tho
signal for a stormy discussion, and
the friends of the clause, as well as
its opponents, at once prepared them
selves for the onslaught. Among (he
chief participants in the debate were
Messrs. Lawson, of Putnam; Ham
mond, of Fulton; Toombs, of Wilkes;
and Jenkins, of Richmond; who spoke
in the order of their succession. This
might be characterized as a battle
between the giants of the Convention,
for they are tho ablest, as well as tho
most ready debaters of the body.
Toombs, almost always invincible in
bis stormy and fiery debate, had met
a combatant whose irresistible logic,
and well guarded points of argument,
gave him no little trouble to refute,
and at once comprehending the diffi
cult task he put forth all the strength
and vim at his command. It was
trnly a master-piece of argument—
( circumspect in its delivery, logical in
! its conclusions and erudite in its com
! position. After the old “war-horse”
of Wilkes, came the venerable Presi
dent, whose ready flow of language
and perspicuous argument lent a brill
iant charm to the prevailing excitment.
He showed himself equal to tho emer
gency, and met the arguments of his
compeditor with a brilliant array of
facts that exhibited alike depth of re
search and forecast of thought. It
was to his clear, comprehensive and
irrefutable argument, more than any
other, perhaps, that the battle was
won. Upon a call of the roll, the vote
stood 94 yeas to 90 nays. There
were nine absent and not voting.
The next debate of an exciting na
ture came off on Friday morning,
when paragraph three of the report
on the Executive Department was ta
ken up. Mr. Holcombe, of Milton,
moved to strike out tho figures 1880
and insert in their stead 1878. This
was the beginning of tho contest for
a “new deal” as it was styled by its
opponents, and came near resulting
iu a decapitation of the present Exec
utive—the vote, upon the final count,
being 100 against to 85 favoring.
For the present, the agreement stands
to have the “new deal” all around
occur iu 1880.
This measure might, perhaps, have
a very good one under certain circum
stances, but iu tho existing condition
lof affairs there is no necessity for it.
The question is one of more specula
tive theory, and the good likely to ac
cruo from its inauguration would
hardly warrant the disastrous ter
mination which might follow it.
“Better to endure the present evil
than fly to those we know not of.”
Tho business of to-day was the
springing of a debate upon tho sala
ries of the Treasurer, Comptroller-
General and Secretary of State The
discussion partook somewhat of a
rambling nature, altogether unsatis
factory and finally resulted iu a refer
ence of tho whole question to a special
committee.
A second discussion sprung up
j when a proposition was made to put
[county officers upon a salary and di
| root their foes and perquistes into tho
! State Treasurer. Tho general feeling
of the house appeared to favor the re
duction, but a spirit was manifested
by some of the abler men of tho body
that the measure would .be warmly
contested, and tho body finally acl
[ jonrned until 10 a. n. Monday.

“Right across this way to tho Fin
holloway, only a short distance.”
“Only, thunder! we’ll got wet in this
dew.” “Comoon; you can’t go fish
ing without getting your feet wet.”
“You go on; I want to shoot this
lark.” “He is gono.”
Tho dew dry, and strolling leisuro
ly on, T seo in the plain a narrow
winding forest, where numerous
growths, prevalent in our South
| Georgia crooks, are beautifully bloud
i ed with tho native cabbage palmetto,
I which predominates. Beyond is the
I never ending plain, whoso oxtensivo
| ness inspires emotions tho monotony
| would seem to forbid. This is the
Finholloway, flowing a southwesterly
direction, rushing almost miullv down
its narrow ditch-like channel on its
serpentine way to tho Gulf.
Did you ever fish where there was
sport in it? Let the Repokteu echo
“Eureka” to the uttermost parts of
the nation where it goes. Sot on tne
banks of this beautiful stream; drop
in your hook —a gentle trembling
first, and then your cork sinks in the
most business way imaginable. From
morn till night, if you stay, it con
tinues. You catch no fish, the swift
water sinks your cork; but there’s
sport in it till you find it out.
A half mile down stream and
“Rocky,” which is just such a stream
as the Finholloway at the point de
scribed above, comes in at a right
angle; but now the latter is a river,
wider and deeper, curving and rolling
grandly on, with an occasional eddy,
with willows and flags growing in the
water; and the most beautiful of for
ests on the high banks, makes a scone
worthy of a more extended descrip
tion.
My companion is gone, and on ac
count of a too extravagaut indulgence
in pedestrian exercises yesterday, my
ioc-nailicrd extremities arc in a con
dition to forbid my searching for him,
though he should swing round the
trees and sit hard by tho groves till
the mosquitoes make bis hands move
faster here than the fair ones do his
heart at Quitman. But the smell of
sulphur reminds me that the “Balm
of Gilead” is. nigh, and I find my
friend in bathing and discover that
our hunting and fishing expedition is
an unmitigated failure, plus a lark.
We are now making tho acquaint
ance of the inhabitants of this once :

Among the first is the accommodating i

bride, and to a host of.ethers we have j
no space to mention. We make ac- j
knowlodgoments especially to Mrs.!
Slaughter for that big gourd full of
rain water.
Eight days spent in such company;
j baths in tho strongest sulphur water,
j perhaps, in the Southern States;
i nightly social gatherings to excite
pleasant thoughts and the never-to
i be-forgotten breezes to fan them into
| realities as we lay upon our broad
and comfortable couch (tho floor).

j of the boys took till two o’clock to say

Your correspondent has been upon
several exploring expeditions, and
finds the country for miles around
ouo solid bed of light brown rock,
with crocks running with a swiftness
for which there seems no reason, un
less it is attributable to the sulphur
and iron springs that burst up in the
beds ot the creeks, as well as every
where else. The most formidable of
tho numerous springs is the Waldo,
on the south side of the Finholloway,
about three miles above the Hampton
Spring, It forms a basin about 150
feet across, 40 to fifty feet deep, and
tho stream flows into tho river about
10 feet wide and 2 deep. Tho water
smells strongly of sulphur and tastes
as strong of iron. It is very clear,
and the bottom is plainly perceptible.

WASHINGTON LETTER
Washington, D. C., Aug. 3. 1877.
Mr. Hayes has honored himself
and tho country in his appointment
of 11. W. Hilliard as Minister to
Brazil. It would have been bettor
for tbo commercial interests of the
country, perhaps; if some gentlemen
familiar with our growing trade re
lations with South America had been
appointed, but Sir. Hilliard lias man
ifold excellent qualifications for tho
place. Tho country will never suffer
discredit at his hands and that is
much in these days. In announcing
this appointment to-day, tlio National
Republican pays editorially a glowing
tribute to Mr. Hilliard. In another
editorial it disparages him. This
happens because one editor of the
paper is a relative of Mrs. Hayes and
represents him, and another is a Hes
sian who was brought hero in antici
pation of Mr. Tildou's inauguration.
This “ organ” must reorganize its ed
itorial force or it will further demor
alize Republican sentiment.
The Ohio Republicans yesterday
in State Convention assembled, prac
tically endorsed the intentions and
desires of Mr. Haves, but not his
course as President. If any test
was given of Hie Administration’s
strength as against that of the Ad
ministration’s opposers, it was piob
nbly found in the ballots for Govern
or. On the first, Taft had 307 votes
against 357 for others. On tho sec
ern! ballot the Administration candi
date had BCS votes and was nominat
ed. Evidences of a hard fight on
both candidate and platform are a
bundant. To an unprejudiced ob
server it looks as if tho “office-hold
er” of Ohio had secured a qualified
endorsement of Mr. Hayes against
tho,wishes of “ the people.’' This is
not in the lino of civil service reform
as preached at the White House now,
but I think Mr. Hayes will be grate
ful for it, nevertheless.
Our Indian war is more serious, it
seems, than has been generally
thought. At last reports Gen’l How
ard was to march against the liostiles
as soon as he had 5000 men. Gen’l
Sherman, who has a high regard for
Gen Howard is on his way to the
seat of war. This will relieve the
minds of many who, for some reason,
distrust the capacity of General How
ard.
Mr. Hayes was at the Schutzenfest
!an Tuesday ovening, and enjoyed
j himself greatly. The beer and wine
i that others drank did not disturb
I him apparently. Mrs. Hayes did
not attend iu person, but she sent a
I boquet to the management. It is an
; odd commentary on tho aft’iir that
Mr. and Mrs. Hayes should thus sanc
tion tho Schutzenfest, at the same
lime that the “Mrs. 11. B. Haves
. TonJPCI’ttPGO Scouilv” pnssin o,
resolutions denouncing it. Tho nioffi
! bora of tho Society have allowed
; their zeal to outrun their discretion,
jor the excellent lady from whom
! their name comes has permitted dis
cretion in polities to outrun lior zeal
l in what she thiak3 is the cause of
Temperance. The Fest this year is
! a very enjoyable affair, and is patro
j uized by all except the very strictest
! of moralists.
The War Department has not yet
! decided, but probably will, to uav
the Baltimore and Ohio, the Penn
sylvania and other railroads, for tho
transportation of troops to Martins
burg, Philadelphia, Pittsburg, etc.
The troops were sent, of course, to
preserve order, but their presence
saved millions of dollars to the rail
road companies. Probably this de
mand to pay for transporting troops
never would have been made if rail
road companies had souls. Being
made, however, there seems to be no
way of refusing payment.
There were issued yesterday cer
tain regulations for tho government
of tho Bureau of Printing and En
graving. This bureau will in the
next few years do an immense a
mouut of work, and I take pleasure
in saying that the new regulations
are in the main excellent. If strictly
followed they will obviate many ob
jections heretofore justly made, and
make this important Bureau what it
ought to be, but never lias becu.

Evil Effects of Tobacco.
In the fourth annual report of the
Michigan State Board of Health, Dr.
Scott relates that thero have come
under his notice, during several years
past, frequent cases of a kind of rheu
matic condition of the walls of the
chest, induced by tho use of tobacco.
This disease is generally confined to
the left side, and to a space not more
than two inches in diameter. At
times it is /cry severe, and patients
generally imagine they have heart dis
ease. Dr. Scott says:
I am convinced that the greater
number of those eases are tho results
of intemperance, either in the use of
tobacco or other stimulants, for the
reason that when the patient abstains
from the use of thorn for a short time,
his pain ceases, and his condition im
proves. In one case, where tho pa
tient abstained from the use of tobac
co for thirteen months, the pain en
tirely ceased; but at tho end of this
period the gentleman recommended
the uso of tobacco, and after throe
weeks’ use the old pain returned with
all its severity. I am certain that
quite a number in this vicinity are re
ceiving treatment for heart disease,
when, if they would reform in tobacco
using, they would cpecdtlv recover. -
Turo on Cotton.
The subject of actual taro upon
cotton was fully discussed at tlio na
tional cotton convention, which was
recently held at tho White Sulphur,
in Virginia. Although tho vexed
question was fully discussed, it was
not decided. A close vote referred
the whole matter to tho several cot
ton exchanges of the country for fur
ther consideration. Previous to this
convention, the chairman of tho com
mittoo on tare, Mr. L. It. Chosbrough
forwarded a report to the president,
tho following being extracts from the
same: “ All articles of encased mer
chandise are subject either to actual
or assessed tare. It has been the
universal law of the consumer that
ho shall pay for only the article bo
consumes, and not for that lie throws
away. Why should cotton hold tho
anomalous position of being the sole
] exception to this rule of tare, and
this exception confined to the Amcri
| can consumer V” It has been argued
j that the planter already pays the
j tare indirectly, as the foreign buyer
exacts tbo actual tare. Air. Clies
borough replies to this theory; ho
says: “If the planter already gives
the advantage of the European taro
to tlio American consumer in a theo
retical price he, the American spinner
pays, why not do so in practice, and
let trade throughout the world ad
just the price, based on actual tare
and a uniform system for all purcha
sers, foreign or domestic. By tho
adoption of a uniform system, it
would be establishing the net weight
of cotton at the place of greatest pro
duction, instead of as now at its
point of greatest consumption.” Of
the practice in Europe in buying and
selling cotton on tho basis of actual
tare, we find that in England four
pounds per one hundred and twelve
! pounds actual weight of hoops and
two pounds draught—if tho above al
lowance docs not cover, then actual
tare; Havre about seven per cent;
Hamburg and Bremen, G per cent on
gross weight. At the mooting of the
international cotton exchange, held
in London in 1876, tho following res
olution passed unanimously: “That
in the opinion of this conference it is
desirable that cotton should be sold
in America at its net weight, and that
the various cotton exchanges in A
merica bo requested to endeavor to
give effect to this recommendation.”
