WASHINGTON'S MONUMENT. m, IT, A Washington correspondent of n Western paper writes as follows: Probahly the highest elevator in the world is that juat completed in the Wash ington monument, the tirst trial of which was made to-day. It is 176 foot high, is capable of bearing ten tons, and was erected nt a coet of Si.0,000. It is run bv an eighty horse-power engine, and will be used in carrying the stones to the top of the shaft A railroad constructed from the workshop runs to the root of the monument, where a derrick hoist* the stone anil places it on the elevator. At the top four railroads on either side con vey the stones to their places. An iron stairway has also been put in at a cost of $16,000. Both the stairway and elevator will be permanent As the work pro ceeds sections will be added to the ele vator. This will occasion a delay of two weeks, as each section of twenty feet si placed in position. The present height of the elevator, which is twenty feet higher than the shaft, will bo all that i* expected to be built this year. The cable which sup- ports the elevator haa been tested, and will sustain 158,000 pounds. Workmen are now removing from the top of tho monument three layers of stone, which is equal to six feet m height, which was found to be necessary, ns it had scaled and is in other ways unfit for nse. On top of tho monument are a number of men engaged in removing the immense stones which form the top layings. Tho largest stone blocks are raised by der ricks and placed upon a small txuek riding upon rails, which is then run upon the elevator. It is then lowered, there LETTER FROM ATLANTA. Atlanta, Ga., Nov. 8..1880. The agony is over—I mean the na tional election. Every man here, who took enough interest in it to read the newspapers during ti e campaign has an explanation oi the result different from that of every other man. I am the only one who has not ventured an opinion upon the subject. When the subject is mentioned in my august presence I try to look wise but am- careful to keep my tongue. At this rate my friends will soon conceive that I understand the case and that nobody else does. Tftis will be true liecause everybody else is trying to talk wisely and nobody can find any person who will concur with them. I may say I feel a little like a Norwood man d-d on the 7th of October. I have however, one advantage over such an one, the legislature is hero to divCH my attention from the great affliction. Now a legislature is not usually very interesting but since the adoption of the new cons.i itntion Georgia legisla tures are more interesting than a cir cus and are more largely attended than the shows of the female minstrels They elect all the judgesand solicitors and while there are a good many judi cial circuits in the State, still the number of places does not equal by about two thirds the number of aspi rants. 1 do not know a single judicial circuit from which there are not three to six aspirants lor the judgeship and soliciiorship I do not know any class of people benefited by this except the hotel and boarding-houses keepers, unless to be bored and begged is a port of the perquisites of tho offices of senator and representative. These offices ought to bo filled by popular elections or by executive appointment. The day for a'l the elections to till them has not yet been fixed. The code prescribes the day for election of Utitled States Senator and it is de sired by some that these elections take place before the election lor Senator so as the positions ol the candidates touching that question may not be come an issue in the otliei elections. This would seem to be wise, but the Brown men ate opposed to it. I judge by certain remarks in the Cons stitutiou which it is lair to assume is the ot gan of that jinny. After all, it is getting to be pretty clear that Gov, Brown is not so certainly elected as has been said. The most that can be said is that his chances are better than the tliauces of anybody else rndtHat he will probahly be elected. This * is staling the case as strongly in his la- AS TO THE SOLIDS. Mr. McLaughlin, Superintendent, has a force of one hundred and twenty-five men employed at the work, and t>egan laying the first stone about the 1st of August Tlio elevator, en gine, and everything of the sort, which are now below the level of the terrace, but covered by a frame building, will be covered over, so os to make the trank level when the work is completed, thus keeping the motive powor of the elevator entirely ont of sight When work on the monument is commenced in earnest, it is expected that a course of two feet will bo laid every three days. To cut and trim the stone necessary for * courso takes the work of twenty men for a week. The monument, it is expected, should Congress give the necessary appropria tions, will be finally completed in 18S5. The foundation has been strengthened so as to bear all the additional weight that may be neoessaiy to its completion. It bos now a foundation of 37 feet, 13$ feet deeper than the old one. This foundation is composed of a composition of English Portland cement and crashed blue stone, and is considered much stronger titan masonry. Thirteen thou sand barrels of cement were used in the foundation alone, which has cost $$•2,000. The monument is to be five hundred and fifty feet high, of which height one hundred and fifty-two feet has already been attained. The present weight, including the foundation, is estimated at forty thou sand tons. At the base the walls are fif teen foet thick, losing a batter of one- eighth inch, to use a technical phrase, at every foot; or, in other words, the walls are one-fourth inch narrower for every foot attained at the summit The walls aro now twelve feet in thickness. As the monument stands at present, upward of $300,000 has been expended on its erec tion. SVurk on the monument has begun in earnest, and the busy hum of the chisel can be heard on all sides. When tho first stone is laid it will have been fully twenty years since the last one was put in place. One of the most interest ing incidents connected with the last work upon the monument was the de struction by a band of Know-nothings of a stone donated with an appropriate in scription by the Pope at Borne. i . (Macon Telegraph.) The eight or ten thousand solemn admonitions to tho ‘ solid South,’ which have already been or will short ly be addressed to these States by the so-called republican editors of the other members of the Federal Union, were pretermitted in 1876 by reason of the actual election of Tildco, and are due in 1880 to the fact that a few thousand votes in so-called pivotal states have been bought and frightens, cd into voting for’Garfield. "The majority of the intelligent suffrage of foe Un)tod plates, conceding 1 : all the negroes to Garfield, have indorsed Hancock and English; snd it is too apparent for dispute that if the neces sities of sel f^protection still hold the states ofthe Sontli as a unit in a common cause, they are bound to se cure impartial consideration as States of the Union at last. This attitude ol these Mates, as a defenseless min ority, is nothing more than^an appeal to the magnanimity of the* immense auti-Southein majorities, against the settled policy of the so-called republi can party to degrade and trample them under toot. It would be inqtossible to maintain this altitude, if opposed upon the part ot the republican North, with reason, justice and impartiality. But these methods never have been and, for any years to come, never Will be tried. None of the republicans have ever yet, since the war, been able to concede the Smith an equal status in the Union. It is still a conquered province—subsisting by toleration, and to be held by the arts of repres sion, and with a settled caution and distrust. No man of discretion, North or South, would think of proposing a Southern man for President, ami the expressed confidence of the Southern iteopie in any Northern niaq injures aim in that section. t - ’ 1 These facte are very natural and inny be very excusable; but they are facts, and produce that Democratic solidarity ot which the North coin- plains—a solidarity not to assert a single sectional interest or opinion, but suggested by self respect for self- protection against unfriendly admin istration. When the republicans put national candidates in the field, they ndrirest, this unfriendly sectional fooling-and rest their case upon it almost solely. Can they reasonably complain that the Southern people decline to follow suit, and appeal to.thc country against GEORGIA XE1T8. * Mr. Loteal, of Polk county, is 103 yoars of age, and this year planted, cultivated and picked a bale ot cottin weighing 570 pounds.

This is unsatisfactory to me. I never can fully trust them and the discomfort which arises . /ram distrustin'' them more than outweighs the beflefUi which they claim as the result ot their mysterious sagacity. Pairing the idea iu one word they are not frank. When you talk to them they answer liko the Delphic oracle, in such a way as to form tin answer suitable to any subse quent events. These people that know so much and reveal so little except it is pre faced with the aejf rate-fled formula, “I told'ytnr*cf" are exfcsperatingly smoft. , They are always running for office or teasing you*, tHor an election is uver, and their superior wisdom -forms the -solitary plank in their platforms, and tbeii theories, and judgment- The Hon.

There must be sooietlpng that we prefer to act with foe Demo crats, who propose a more impartial course ? During the late canvass the most prominent republican speakers proclaimed their undying hostility to any administration not Northern and administered in Northern interests. Will they ask the Southern voters to unite on such a platform ? Is it a just, good oc .lair oue? Will the country thrive adder it t ' *\ 1 It should be plain to common sense that sectionalism must breed section alism, and abuse and calumny cannot inspire a spirit of broad nationalist which should guide wise and patriotic counsels.

It was founded originally on the idea oi organizing a preponderating politi cal negro force out of the colored people. JDisregarding'aH th* moral, intellectual and pecuniary forces which are so generally supreme in shaping politics in otber8tat©s, it assumes that every negro is necessarily a republican, and when the votes do not count out, in that way, it is due to white fraud and violence. It is owing almost wholly to these conditions that Gar field has carried the solid North, but a similar result in the Southern States is an unpardonable crime, though no violence or intimidation be practiced. We must divide the forces of iutellis, geuep, wealth and .character to please them. We must array the whites against each other and scramble in the mud of low electioneering to split the colored population and make it the let Mining Stocks Alone- Tho time jins been that when a man toiled at every tiling else he went into the insurance business, and warn a roper in lor some insurance company that had an abiding faith in his cheek and wind influence.

The Japanese-are net contented merely with the material progress they have been making for several years past. In mechanical science, agriculture and the arts they kave : made great strides. Their military system is founded on European mod els, and all the old feudal forms have been abolished. They have become indoctriuated with Western ideas, and now they aspire to Western freedom. They do not desire to discredit the government, but they are begin ning to demand a share in it. Some of Lite boldest of the Japanese juuriis alists and public lecturers are advo cating the right of representation, and tbe government, which up to this lime has been in the bands rf the Em peror and a council of nobles, is re sorting io repressive measures for the purpose of subduing the agitation.

W*51 M*. honors as *| Estimstjng Mr. VanderbiJtis.weigbt A Stranger from Freeport. Usually a professional, dyed-ln-the- wool gambler, is the hardest man to bea in the wide wbrld. He divides his fel low-men into two olassea, and in his terse and epiCTammatioJlanjruage he calls them ; “ suokers ” and thieves. He thrives and grows fat on the one class, and it requires all his alertness to keep from being robbed by the other. Hu perceptions areso sharpened that he can distinguish on honest man from a knave at a glance, but occasionally he gets picked np in a most scandalous manner. A ease of this kind oocurred in Chicago a day or two ago, under the following circumstances: > > A short tune since a strange gambler of much plausibility and fine address came to .town.' He circulated among the brethren, and soon ingratiated himself into the confidence of the gentlemanly and urbane proprietor of a castle de voted to speculation of a dubious char acter, located at no great distance from Calhoun place. In due courso of time he developed his plot. He knew a man in Freeport who' had 81,000 to invest in the banking business (faro banking), and if )m, ; the plausible stranger, had another $1,000 he could go in with him. He represented tho Freeport man to.be a rank sucker, whom it would b-. .base flattery to call an illustrious “gilty.” His plan was to borrow the 81,000 from his new-found friend, who would come down to Freeport, and in the absence of the native win out the entire bank roll, his own $1,000 and the native’s $1,000, and divide; This is on old trick among gamblers, and thegentlemonlycapitolist knew it eould ■ be worked. He knew, too, that the stranger and the Freeport man might ,1-e “ standing in ” to rob him, bnt he came to the conclusion that his new acquaintance meant to. do the “ squaro thing ” with him. He accord ingly advanced the $1,000, but in order to secure himself he sent a trusted ally to go and look after it. The partner was to telegraph the Chicago capitalist when it was time to come down to Free port with his old white hat and win out the roll. In order that there might be no unpleasant complications, foe tele gram was to be worded : “It is a good time to 'buy pork.” The capitalist - waited anxiously for eleotrio instruction to invest in 'pork, but, instead, there came a letter from his agent oonveying tho sad intelligence that one day, while he was ont eating his dinner, another man in a white hat had dropimd in and won oat $2,000. On his return he had remonstrated with the Freeport “ sucker ’’ and the chance acquaintance, but had been scoffed at and reviled, and threatened with corporeal punishment if he did not vacate the premises forth with. To make a-l<mg story short, he had been incontinently * * bounced,” and was even foen on'his way to Chicago. He did not know how he was going to get home, bat if his shoes held out he would be due in a week or two. The public need feel 110 alarm about the agent He will eventually reach the city with his mournful story of the sud den disappearance of the $1,000.
