The statistics of immigration at
the port of New York continue to
furnish strong proof of the return of
prosperity. The year ended, w.th
February. 1880, shows a gain of near
ly eighty per cent upon the year end
ing with February, 1879. This does
•mt include the arrival of returning
citizens of the United States, or of
travelers from abroad, but is the
showing of immigration only.
The floodgates of scandal seems to
have been turned loose in Washing

corruption, in the civilized world. The

reputation in former days before I
*' plantation manners” were forced to
give way to Radical 'culture’ and ‘ad
vanced civilization.”—Augusta News.
Referring to Tilden and Grant, the
Philadelphia Chronicle, a Democratic
■ journal, says: “The pregnant fact
confronts the two parties that the
two man who are least wanted by the
voters of each and by the country,
i < hirer one of whom can strengthen
l-is party iti the canvass, are most in
dustriously plotting for the prizes
which the conventions will award.
Each is willing to imperil his party’s
success to gratify bis own selfish am
bition.”

hack to Atlanta. The officers will be

are expressed of Hoyle’s lieing found ;

Atler all, some of Mr. Hoyle's friend*

THE CAMPAIGN IN GEORGIA.
It is to be hoped that every member
of the State Democratic Executive
Committee will realise the import
ance of the meeting which lias been
called by the Chairman to convene in
Atlanta, on the 30th instant, and that
all will be present in person to answer
at roll call. It must be evident to
every observant mind that the cam
paign soon to be opened is going to
be a hotly contested one, and unless
the machinery of the present Demo
cratic organization is put in motion
by a power that is free from all trick
ery—unless it is impervious to the
influence of selfish politicians, and
subject to the will of the people—
there will be a general uprising of
the free and independent voters of
the State against chronic politicians
and professional ‘party leaders,’ and
their rights as citizens and tax-payers,
and their preferences for men will be
asserted at the ballot box.
There has been too much ring rule,
and too many machine politicians in
office of late years in Georgia, and
the people are just now beginning to
realize that they are themselves to
blame for it. There can be no excuse
for permitting a few machine politi
cians to rule the affairs of a State, a
district or a county, for the people
can rise over them whenever they
take their affairs into their own
hands. The great trouble with the
people of Georgia to-day is that (hey
are in the hands of the politicians,
which is the result of their own
apathy. The infamous attack that
was made a few years ago upon our
people, in common with those of
every State in the South, aroused true
manhood and impelled every man to
united action, hut as soon as the issue
had been made and the victory won,
the people became indifferent ;sthey
ceased to show their strength at the
primary meetings and at the elec
tions; the politicians took hold and
we now in control. These arc plain
words, we know, hut they are true,
mhl it is high time the people should
again interest themselves in politics,
and once more assert their control of
tire affairs of the State. Their inter
ests demand it, and if they will arouse
from their lethargy and take the rule
from the hands of the politicians, and
use it once more themselves, “Inde
pe.ndentism” will be heard of no
more, and the so-called Independent
party in Georgia would be like a ship
at sea without a sail.—Albany Adver
tiser.
It is understood that some of the
friends of Mr. Samuel J. Randall are
proposing his name as the Democra
tic candidate for President. This is
ridiculous. The Democratic party
pledged itself at St. Louis to tariff
reform, and no person who packs
Congressional committees in the in
terest of monopolies can hope to re
tain the undivided respect of the
party, much less become its candi
date for the highest office in the gift
of the people. Mr. Randall packed
the Ways and Means Committee iu
the interest of the most odious mo
iy>polies, and he. is now laughing in
his protection coat-sleeve at the daily
farce that is being enacted before the
committee by those who seek to re
duce the war tariff under which the
people are laboring. Not only will
Mr. Randall never be the Democratic
candidate, but we are frank to say
that in our opinion he will never
again be in a position to pack com
mittees. In the matter of tariff re
form the people mean business, and
if Mr. Randall doubts it now he will
not doubt it a few months hence. A
candidate for President, indeed. What
is the next joke in order?—Atlanta
Constitution.
The Baltimore Sun opens a leading
editorial with these cheering words of
promise to the South: ‘‘From all the
signs and portents now observable,
there is reason to believe that in the
course of a few years a steady current
of emigration will set in towards the
South. It will not, probably, be so
much of emigrants from abroad as
from the older settled States.” We
hope so, and really believe that the
good time so long expected is about
to come. Northern immigration and
capital are exactly what we want.,
and once the tide sets in we don’t
believe it will stop until the South
is overrun by both. Let the floo<l
come. The sooner the better.—Au
gusta News.
At the National Democratic Con
vention. held four years ago at St.
I.ouis, there were seven candidates.
Tilden received 403* votes on the first
ballot—it required 492 to nominate.
On the second ballot Tilden received
508 votes, and was declared the nomi
nee. Os the other candidates, Han
cock received 95 votes on the first
ballot, and 60 on the last. Bayard
had 30 votes on the first ballot, but
declined to 11 on the second. Time
works wonderful changes, and occa
sionally it reverses figures.

GARTRELL FOR GOVERNOR.
Gen. Gartrell is favorably spoken
of for the next Governor. This flat
tering use of his name in connection
with that distinguished office, is not
confined to any particular locality.
From the mountains to the seaboard,
from the Savannah to the Chattahoo
chee, do we hear enthusiastic praise
of this distinguished Georgian. He
has served his native State honorably
in her legislative halls, and in the
United States Congress, as well as
illustrated her honor upon the field of
battle, and in no solitary instance, to
our knowledge, lists he been found
wanting. If nominated no one will
battle for his election more zealous
than we, nor nne rejoice more sin
cerely in his elevation to the highest
office in the gift of our people. What
we say of Gartrell, we say of any of
the distinguished names spoken of for
Governor.—Madison Madisonian.
As well known to the readers of
the Citizen, Gen. L. J. Gartrell is our
first choice for gubernatorial honors
at the approaching election, and we
are glad to know he has a very
decided following in this end of the
State. That he is the man for the
Democracy to nominate, we arc con
fident, and that he would be unani
mously elected and make one of the
best Governors the State of Georgia
ever had, we feel equally confident.—
Dalton Citizen.
Gen. L. J. Gartrell, of Atlanta, was
In town last Sunday night. The Gen
eral has hosts of friends in this sec
tion and the entire State, who long to
see him Governor of Georgia. Broad
and liberal in his views; firm in his
Democratic principles and eminently
qualified, he would fill the executive
chair of the Empire State with credit
to himself and the whole of Georgia.
Toccoa News.
Extract from Atlanta letter to the
Conyers Weekly: ‘‘Gen. Gartrell, of
course, is the favorite for Governor.
Here, in his old Congressional Dis
trict, the people are familiar not onlv
with his record, but with the noble
and manly traits of character which
make him liked and admired where
ever he is known.
“Werdna,” in the Southron, of the
16th instant, says: ‘‘lt is gratifying
to notice the efforts you are making
to induce the planters to diversity
their crops, and particularly to call
their attention to tobacco culture,
'rtiere is no country in America that
is better adapted to the cultivation of
tobacco than the Southern States, and
Georgia, especially the northern por
tion, offers the greatest returns, jn this
crop. This is a practical age—the re
sult must be almost proven before
notice is obtained from outsiders. ,On
a safe calculation it takes two acres
of land to make a 500 pound bale of
cotton, which nt to-day’s prices is
worth 860. On the same two acres,
with the same amount of work, 2,000
pounds of tobacco can be raised,
which at a low calculation of 8 cents
per pound, gives us $l6O. I do not
think I have overestimated the yield:
but if I have, the proportion in favor
of tobacco is so great, that it should
induce every farmer in Hall county
to try a few acres. There will be no
trouble in disposing of it legally.”
The Spartanburg (8. C.) Herald says
there would have been no war but for
the two-thirds rule, and so opposes it.
The New York Tribune insinuates
that the South is in favor of abolish
ing the two-thirds rule in National
Democratic Conventions, because if a
majority can nominate, the South will
have additional power. The South and
New York would then be able to
nominate the candidate. The total
vote of the Convention is 369. Under
the two-thirds rule it requires 246
votes to nominate, but under a ma
jority rule 185 would be enough, and
the South and New York together
have 208.
Dr. H. P. Gatchell, who has been
nominated census supervisor for the
First District, is not well known in
politics. He is better known as a
writer on the attractions Northeast
Georgia hold out-to emigrants and to
those suffering with pulmonary com
plaints. He is in all respects quali
fied for the work of supervising the
taking of the census, and his nomina
tion gives the Georgia delegation an
admirable opportunity of pooling
their little differences over the census
appointments.—Atlanta Constitution.

PROBABILITIES.
i It now seems as certain as any
- future event can be that Gen. Grant
i will be nominated for President by
I ' the Republican National Convention
, lat Chicago.
, 1 In regard to the Democratic. Na
. tional Convention at Cincinnati, the
indications are as yet less decisive;
but we arc bound to record the fact
that notwithstanding what has hap
pened in Pennsylvania and elsewhere
the probabilities point to the nomina-
' tion of Mr. Tilden.
i The only cause tending to prevent
the nomination of Gen. Grant is the
i probability, or rather, we may say,
the substantial certainty, that it will
■ divide the Republican party. There
is a large body of Republicans who,
on principle, are opposed to a third
’ term for any man, regarding it as the
j entering wedge of imperialism ; and
i there is another large body of Repub
licans who remember the corruptions
I and indecencies of Grant's udministra
| tion, and who oppose him as a man
| unfit to be President. It is possible I
i that the Chicago Convention, though
chiefly appointed and instructed to
nominate Grant, may still hesitate
before the certainty of breaking the
. Republican party in two, and may
i choose instead a candidate against :
whom no such objections can be j
■ urged.
On the Democratic side, the ditlkul-
1 ties in the way of Mr. Tilden may
’ produce a similar result, especially as
in his case, in addition to the opposi
; tion against him in the party, and the
rupture which his nomination would
■ produce, there is a wide-spread doubt
; whether age and bodily infirmity have
i not rendered him unable to live
i through the excitements and labors
j of the canvass, or the greater excite
ments and more exhausting labors of
| administering the office of President,
la question respecting which the ex
ample of Gen. Harrison, in 1841, and
th<' consequences of his election, may
seem most suggestive and weighty.
Now then, if after all, Gen. Grant
should be nominated by the Republi
cans and Mr. Tilden by the Dcmo
lerats, what will be the result? On
the Republican side will it not be the
i nomination of an Independent anti
‘third-term Republican, and on the
I side of the Democratic dissentients
1 will it not be the nomination of an
! anti-Tilden Democrat, thus repeating
I upon the national stage the same
process as was employed last fall in
the Stive of New York to defeat Gov.
Robinson?
Should this method be resorted to
in each party, there will be four can
didates in the field; but experience
shows us that where bolting nomina
tions are to be made by rebellious
factions in two opposing parties,
there is always a great effort to com
bine the bolters of each by finding
some candidate who may be satisfac
tory to all of them. In such an event
the campaign of next fall would be
! fought out between three candidates;
land we hazard nothing in saving that
'it is likely to prove one of the most
j exciting in our political annals.— New
! York Sun.

The invention of that Superior and
Complete Sewing Machine (the Fam
ily Shuttle Machine), marks one of
the most important eras in the history
of machinery, and when we consider
its great usefulness and extremely
low price (*25), it is Very difficult to
conceive of any invention for domes
tic use of more or even equal impor
tance to families. It has great ca
pacity for work; beautiful, smooth,
and quiet movement, rapid execution
certainty of operation, and delightful
ease, that at once commends it above
all others. The working parts are all
steel; the bobbins hold 100 yards of
| thread ; the stitch is the firmest of all
the stitches made, neat and regular,
and can be regulated in a moment to
sew stitches from an inch in length
on coarse material down to the finest,
so infinitesimal as to be hardly dis
cernable with the naked eye, and
with a rapidity rendering it impossi-
■ ble to count them as fast as made ; it
does to perfection all kinds of heavy,
coarse, plain, fine, or fancy needle
work with ease, and far less labor
than required on other machines. It
needs no commendation, the rapid
sales, increasing demand, and volun
tary encomiums from the press, and
the thousands of families who use
tfiem, amply testify to their undoubt
ed worth as a standard and reliable
household necessity, extending its
popularity each day. Agents wanted
