be unable to assemble again.
Last Monday, we learn from the
Atlanta Constitution, Nat Anderson

The election in New York takes ;
place next Tuesday, and those who !
have implicit faith in Mr. Tilden’s [
skill and judgment, bold that Gov.
Robinson will be re-elected in spite
of the Kelly bolt and the Ohio wave.
We trust Uncle Samuel will whip the
fight, but we fear he will get licked.
Judge Iloadlcy, who is one of the'
most prominent. Democrats in Ohio, |
has confided to a reporter his private
opinion that Tilden will be nominated
by the Democrats in 1880, whether I
Robinson is elected or not; and. if the
latter should happen to win, he be
lieves he will be nominated by accla
mation.

majority on joint ballot is thirty-one.
Surprising as it may seem, the agri
cultural products of one year amount
to nearly ns much in value as the pro
ducts of all our mines since. 1849. The

The San Francisco mint is now en
gaged in coining small gold pieces to
supply the demand. The Philadelphia
mint is at work principally on the
silver dollar. It is expected, however,
that the Treasury will be able to pur
chase sufficient silver for delivery at
San Francisco to enable that mint to
relieve Philadelphia of the dollar
coinage.

The Washington Post says the
Democratic candidates were defeated
in Ohio by a systematically organized
and methodically worked system of
fraudulent voting. At the lowest cal
culation thirty thousand illegal votes
were cast, and as far as a hasty exam
ination has been had, nine out of
every ten of them were cast for the
Republican candidates.

The North Carolina soldiers of both
armies in the civil war held a reunion
at Salisbury, North Carolina, last
Thursday. The town was decorated
with tlags, and Gov. Jarvis, Senator
Vance ami others made spec, hes fa
voring good will between all the sec
tions of the country. The crowd par
took of a barbecue dinner, and at night
there was a grand display of tireworks.
To those who in their anger at the
injustice done the south by newspa
pers of both political parties at the
North, calculate the chance for good
in withdrawing from the national con
test. we would say that the loss of
Ohio is by no means the loss of the
cause, and that the wrong done us by
those few Democratic editors who at
tribute their defeat to the conduct of
the South, should not be visited upon
the body of the party. The Northern
Democracy stand by the rights of the
South manfully. They are fighting
our battles upon their own soil, and
their best men are sacrificing their
political fortunes in our behalf. To
desert them in such an hour would be
the act of a craven.—Mobile Register.
«
PERIL OF THE REPUBLIC.
The Cleveland Plaindealer has an
elaborate and well considered article
on “The Peril of the Republic.” Its
concluding paragraph is as follows:
“The rights of States are essential
to the liberties of the people; and for
them the Democracy contends. A
centralized government is the end of
freedom and the foundation of tyran
ny; and a centralized government is
the goal of the Republican party and
its allies, the moneyed aristocracy
and the monopolies. 'The greater the
diffusion of power the nearer the ap-
I preach to popular government, for
I the. solution of which problem this
( Union was established. The liberties
of the individual arc only preserved
Iby the diffusion of power. Tyranny
feeds on centralized power, republic. 1 *
vanish before it. The Democratic
party battles for the preservation of
this republic through the mainten
ance of the rights which the constitu
tion reserves to States, and those
rights—and those rights only—which
arc compatible with, aye, bound up
in civil liberty. The Democratic par
ty alone is the loyal parly, loyal to
the republic of the fathers, a govern
ment of the people, for the people
and by the people. The Republican
party is the champion of a ‘strong’
government, a centralized govern-
I incut which is the corner stone of a
I throne.”
There is one reason for advertising
which business men rarely consider—
| its general effect on the prosperity of
I their own place. The newspaper goes
[Out into the world from week to week
as the representative from its village,
j and men judge of the village more by
' the newspaper than anything else. If
this is newsy’ and able, and many lo
cal firms are represented in its adver
tising columns, they assume at once,
and generally correctly, that it comes
| from a live village—a good village to
i live and trade in—and thus they are
i drawn thither. The effect is not slight ,
I and the suggestion is one that deserves .
■ the consideration of every tradesman,
J and they should endeavor, in every
I way to increase the circulation ami
business of such a paper, as the more
people they can gel to read it, the
more their own advertisement is read,
and they benefited thereby.
In his speech at New York, Tues
day night, Secretary Evarts threaten-
■ ed that unless the South shall obey
KepultHvtin wishes, the Republican
party will place the government, in
the hands of Grant as the man most
competent to the task of enforcing the
Republican wish. Os course, says the
Bridgeport Farmer, Mr. Evarts did
not thus plainly threaten the extinc
tion of the republic, but such was his
unmistakable meaning. When such
i a threat comes in a public meeting
.from the month of a leading member
of the cabinet, who can reasonably
call the person that declares the
existence of the republic endangered
by the present policy of the Republi
can party, an ‘alarmist ?’
We commend the following recent
utterance of Senator Lamar to those
radical organs which have been so
anxious to hear from him : “Truth,
in the long process of time, will pre
vail, and our countrymen of tie North
will find out at last, and at no distant
day, that the great danger of this
country is not from southern rnllian
ism or antebellum nullification or
southern secession and state rights,
i but is from Mr. Secretary Sherman
and his stalwart party, who are adopt
ing every measure, just or unjust,
light or wrong, to fasten on this broad
. and promising land the shackles of a
dominion that shall be imperialism in
all but the name.”—Boston Globe.
The warlike tone of the foreign
news continues, and the prophets are
promising a triple alliance between
Germany. Austria and England as
against another trio—Russia. Italy
and France. The monstrous propor
tions which European armament are
assuming can be inferred from the offi
cial statement of the Hungarian Gov
ernment that when the military sys
i terns of Europe are completed Italy
; will have over 2.009.0(10 soldiers;
■ France, which lias 1,815.000 now. will
I have 2.723,000; Russia has 2,389,000
already, and Austro-Hungary 1,194,-
; 000.
The New York Tribune suggests
various way s in which the South could
put mi end to the "sectional animosi
ty” of Northern Republicanism. The
j suggestions are superfluous. Every
• one who has eyes to see and ears to
hear, knows that only by handing
over a few States to the Republican
party can that "sectional animosity"
i be obliterated. It is not tear of South
ern influence in public affairs, but an
apprehension of the loss of suprema
cy al Washington which actuates the
Republican war upon the South.
THE RATE OF INTEREST.
The following act. restricting and
regulating the rate of interest in this
State, was passed by the Legislature,
and the Governor apj roved it:
Section 1. The General Assembly do
enact, that from and after the passage
of this act, it shall not be lawful for
any person, company or corporation
to reserve, charge or take for any
loan <>x advance of money or forbear-;
ancq to enforce the collection of any
sum of money, any rate of interest i
greater than eight per centum, either
directly or indirectly byway of com
mission for advances, discount, ex
change or by any contract or contriv
ance or device whatever.
Section 2. Be it further enacted, that ,
any person, company or corporation,
violating the provisions of tlx- fore
going section of this act, shall forfeit
the investment, the excess of jiterest
so charged or taken or contracted to
be reserved, charged or taken.
Section 3. Be it furl her enacted, that
the legal rate of interest shall remain
seven per centum per annum, w here
the rate per cent is not named in the
contract, and any higher rate must bo
specified in writing; but in no event
to exceed eight per cent per mnum.
Section 4. Be it further enaetdl, that
in all suits hereafter brought inany of
the courts of this State upon itiy ac
count, note, bill, draft or otlj-r evi
dence of indebtedness, bearirjg date
after the passage of this act, therein
a greater rate of interest is ((aimed
than seven, per cent., it shall be in
cumbent on the plaintiff in sich suit
or action to show affirmatively by
proof that no greater or higlpr rate
of interest than that speciiieijin the
contract so sued upon has been taken,
received, retained, or in any yay or
manner secured so as to be hereafter
had or taken by any device whatever.
Section 5. Be it further eiiactad. that
all laws and parts of laws in (onllict
with this act be and the sa|ie arc
hereby repealed.
We expect to live to sec the day
when New England will cufse the.
Union. Then we are going to love it
a little bit. A New England peaii to
the Union is simply "the bugle blast
of the. robber when the plunder is
nigh.”—Sparta Ishmaelite.
Do you not remember the time (it
was not long ago) when New England
did curse the Union—denouncing the
constitution of the United States as
"a league with death and a coyenant
with hell.” and saluting the Federal
i tlag with the exclamation “tear down
the Haunting lie?” The disloyalty of
New England then was attributable
■ to the fact that she could not rule the
as arbitrarily as she
plow does.—Atlanta Dispatch.

Mr. Hill’s letter is not likely just
! at this time to accomplish any politi
cal good. It may even, as the New
5 oik Herald suggests, afford political
capital for our enemies. The unpalat
able truths which he utters may be
held up by radical stump speakers as
■ evidence of the unrepentant spirit of
the Southern people and as a justitica-
l lion of stalwart ism. Nevertheless, it,
'1 will be received bv all fair-minded
men, even at. tin 1 North, as a calm,
dignified ami powerful refutation of
stereotyped radical slanders, false
hoods. and a most triumphant and
i overwhelming vindication of the solid
South.—Savannah News.
The Nashville American, in speak
ing of Senator Bay ard’s i andid:u v for
the Presidency, says: "He both in
herits and has learned.and has been
surrounded by all that can make a
man learn, statesmanship, independ
ence. purity and nobility of character.
Many men prefer other candidates,
and many, for reasons of various kinds,
oppose Mr. Bayard, but it can fairly
be said of him that he has tlx- pro
found respect, which virtue wins of all
men, and the deep gratitude of the
South and of the friends of free gov
ernment for his great services.”
Those of our brave Confederate
boys, who lost an arm or leg in the
service of the South, are entitled to a

themselves with an artificial limb.
The act was among other good laws
passed by the last Legislature. Up
to date seventy-nine have come for
ward, made the necessary proof, and
received their pension II is estimated
that at least fifteen hundred in Geor
gia are entitled to the benefit of the
law.—Atlanta Dispatch.
The Indian Agent at Red Cloud re
ports to the interior department that

many years as to have become tradi
tional.
