(tyttiftwm | lqwriei;. JOS. TILLMAN, I'Mitor. TIIU USD AY, AUGUST 0. 1577. 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.

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. Yj£U.- A Florida Trip. ( Concluded. ) “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 : deserted, but now populous city, j Among the first is the accommodating i Boggs; may lie ride a quoted hog skin seat on the great hun ting grounds j beyond.

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.

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. Nemo. 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.” Atlanta Constitution.
