THUBSSDAY, JANUARY 21, 1878.
DIRECT TRADE.
We are in receipt of a pamphlet on
Direct Trade, compiled by Col. Nelson
Tift, which is full of interesting mat
ter. The subjoined extracts will give a
pretty fair idea of the document and
it.- elaborate contents :
Arrangements have been made with
the White Star Line of steamships—
from New York to Liverpool—and the
Empire Line —from New York to Savan
nah, by which, with proper arrange
ments for connections to .the interior,
parlies will be enabled to realize all the
ad vantages for export and import trade,
that would result from a direct line be
tween Savannah aud Liverpool. To
this end, and in accordance with the re
commendation of the Direct Trade
Convention held in Atlanta on the 22d
of December, the following plan of
operation has been adopted until a
better system can be perfected :
1. The forwarding agent of the Cen
tral Railroad at Savannah will attend
to receiving aud forwarding all produce
to be shipped from Savannah to Liver
pool, aud all goods which may be ship
ped from Liverpool, via Savannah to
the interior.
2. All parties exporting cotton or
other articles by this line from the in
terior—instead of through bills of lad
ing, for the present—will take railroad
receipt from the point of shipment to
Liverpool, care of the forwarding
agent of the Central Railroad, Savan
nah, Ga. These receipts to be sent by
mail to the said forwarding agent, who
will take the ship’s bill of lading, and
send to consignor or deliver to any
party in Savannah, as directed. Upon
these ship’s bills of lading, bills of ex
change may be drawn, and advances
for three-fourths of the value obtained
if desired, through Messrs. Wilder &
Cos., agents of the Empire Line, or
through any other responsible party
whom the consignor may select.
3. All goods imported by this line—
for the present—will be shipped from
Liverpool to the care of the forward
ing agent of the Central Railroad, Sa
vannah, Georgia, to be forwarded by
him to their destination in the interior.
4. The duties on all dutiable goods
will I>e paid either by the agent of the
White Star Line, in New York, or by
the agent of the Central Railroad, in
Savannah, at the option of the owners,
and in either case the duties and other
expanses will follow the goods to their
des {nation, there to be paid in gold, or
in currency at the cost of the gold ; or
the goods may be placed in a govern
ment bonded warehouse in Savannah,
if desired by the owner, he paying the
expenses; and they may be subse
quently forwarded without increase in
the rate of freight.
5. Asa common benfit to the port of
Savannah and to all parties interested,
the same rates and the same terms in
all respects, so far as the railroads are
concerned, will be made when desired
with the agent of sail or steam vessels
running direct between Savannah and
Liverpool, and the rates, when so fix
ed, will be published by the agent of
the Central Railroad.
6. The following information may be
useful to some persoms :
1. Bills of exchange drawn at 60 days
sight against cotton shipped to Liver
pool may be negotiated at the banks in
Savannah, and would realize now about
$5.27 for the pound sterling, which is
worth about $4.87 in American gold.
2. The rate of insurance on cotton
from Savannah to Liverpool, by the
White Star and Empire Lines, or by
steamer direct, is, in American compa
nies doing business in Savannah, one
per cent.; in English companies doing
business in Liverpool, three-fourths of
on*' per cent. The rate by sail vessels
direct is, in American companies, one
and a quarter per cent.; in English
companies, one and a half per cent.
Persons desiring to ascertain the
amount of tariff on any goods they may
wish to import, can obtain the informa
tion from the Custom House Collector
of the port of Savannah.

BOTTOM FACTS.
The Louisiana Situation in Brief.
The report of the New Orleans Com
mittee proves beyond a doubt—
1. That the last election in Louisiana
was, in the words of the committee,
“ full, fair, free and peaceable.”
2. That it resulted in the election of
a Democratic majority of twenty-nine
iu the lower House of the Legislature.
3. That the report of the Returning
Bo.srd was fraudulent, unjust and con
trary to the very law under which it
acted.
This carries us to the assembling of
the Legislature. Here we find these
facts undisputed :
1. The Returning Boar! had pre
pared a list of one hundred and six
members, of whom, under its manipu
lations, fifty-three were Republicans,
as was supposed, and fifty-three Demo
crats. Thus this Board attempted to
set aside the will of the people of the
State.
2. One hundred and six members
met on the 4th of January and pro
ceeded to choose a Speaker, the Re
publicans present actually taking part
in the proceedings by nominating a
candidate for Speaker and voting for
him, by accepting appointments as part
of a Committee on Credentials and or
ganizing with this committee, and by
their votes in the House on the Speak
ership giving a quorum, which the
Democrats then present would not
alone have had. Wiltz received 55
yotes, Hahn (Republican), two, and one
was- blank ; and 56 Is the constitutional
quorum. When the members were
sworn in 51 Democrats and five Repub
licans took the oath, making an Indis
putable and regular quornm of the
House.
3. The Legislature was thereafter
dispersed by United States troops.
4. The Republicans proceeded to or
ganize, but—here is the important and
vital point—they had and have no
quorum and cannot, therefore, act as a
Legislature. They may adjourn from
day to day ; but, under the Louisiana
constitution, can do none of the acts of
a Legislature.
5. Hence Louisiana has to-day no
regularly organized and competent
lower House of Legislature. It cannot
have a quorum, even on the report of
the Returning Board.
6. Hence the pretended election of
Finehback is a fraud and void.
7. And, finally, nothing Is In the way
of the assembling and constituting of a
legal House except Federal bayonets.
If Congress will remove them the Wiltz
House, the only regular one, would at
once assemble.
Iu 1872 there was but one synagogue
in New York. Thirty-two years ago
there were but 4. Now there"are 26.

OUR HISTORY ANTICIPATED.
Narrative of an Imaginary Coup
D’etat—A Partisan of Imperialism
Describes a Fancied Revolution by
U. S. G. Makes Himself Dictator in
1877.
At 12 o’clock, the hour fixed upon for
the assembling of the Senate, and the
counting of the votes of the Electoral
College, the private Secretary of the
President stepped into his carriage and
proceeded first to the Government Print
ing Bureau, where he remained for a
few moments, and then proceeded to
the Senate Chamber. He was attend
ed by a body guard of 300 marines from
the capital navy yard. On reaching
the Capitol building the marines were
ordered to take possession of the
halls and corridors leading to the
Senate Chamber and the House
of Representatives. The Senate
was already in session, and at the
conclusion of the prayer by the chap
lain the members of the Lower House
presented themselves at tho doors of
the Senato Chamber, in obedience to
the constitutional order requiring their
presence at the counting of the electo
ral vote, seats being provided for them
on the floor of the Chamber. At the
proper moment Senator Erelinghuysen
rose in his seat and moved that the vote
be counted. At this moment the Pri
vate Secretary of the President enter
ed, and was recognized at once by the
Clerk of the Senate with the usual
“ Mr. President, a message from the
President.” In place of the expected
message, the following proclamation
fell upon the stunned ears of the Dem
ocratic Senators:
Executive Mansion, )
February 20th, 1877. f
To the President of the Senate:
Extensive and glaring frauds having
been detected in the electoral certifi
cates returned by certain of the States,
I, therefore, as the Executive head of
the Nation, and acting in its behalf,
forbid the counting of tho votes of the
Electoral College, and hereby declare
the Senate dissolved.
Given under my hand and seal this
20th day of February, 1877, etc.
THE SENATE SURRENDERS.
A similar proclamation was sent to
the House of Representatives upon its
reassembling. The Senate, al ways the
exponent of Centralism, surrendered
without a struggle, after voting down
a resolution offered by one Morton to
postpone the cou iting of the vote to a
subsequent day. The House, the im
mediate representatives of the people,
refused to adjourn, and a scene of the
wildest confusion followed, during
whick a member from New Jersey, John
Smith, jumped into the Speakers desk
and commenced to address the Houso.
He had scarcely begun when a squad
of soldiers under Gen. Babcock enter
ed the hall. Order was instantly re
stored, and in a firm, distinct tone the
proclamation of the President was
again read by the Clerk of the House
by order of the General. In five min
utes the hall was closed and the na
tional Legislature was suspended, and
a guard of five hundred regulars was
stationed around the Capitol. On pass
ing iuto the street a proclamation from
the President to the people of the Uni
ted States was in the hands of the pop
ulace, now occupying every avenue and
cross street leading to the Capitol. It
had been posted besides in every pub
lic place, and read as follows :
Executive Mansion, February 20,
1877.—T0 the people of the United
States—Citizens : Frauds, the most
glaring and overwhelming, have been
detected in the returns of the electoral
vote transmitted to the Electoral Col
lege.
The sacred fight of suffrage has been
trampled into the dust by those who
should have upheld it.
As Commander-in-Chief of the army
and navy of the United States, I have
placed the whole country under mar
tial law. The military power of tho na
tion is at this moment iu full posses
sion of every State and Territory, and
subject to my order.
I have forbidden the counting of tho
electoral vote in the Senate, and I have
dissolved the National Legislature.
Anew election will be immediately
ordeied, but in the interim tho civil
power of the nation will give place to
the military arm, in order that justice
may be promoted and tho public tran
quility be preserved.
SECURING THE CAPITAL.
Passing under the bayonets of a
strong guard into the street, the mem
bers of both Houses beheld a scene
never before witnessed by Republican
eyes in Republican America. There
were no barricades thrown up at the
corners of streets like those that met
the gaze of all Paris at the fatal insur
rection of June, 1848. No mob sent its
discordant yells to the clouds on that
memorable day. In place of barricades
and bastions, the glare of torches, and
the sobs of women flying before an in
furiated populace, there were seen here
and there, at convenient points between
the Capital and the Treasury, the
mouth of a cannon guarded by a squad
of regulars or marines. In an hour, as
If by magic, every vulnerable point in
a city of more than a hundred and
fifty thousand souls was secure
against any attack that could
have been made upon it by an un
armed mob. At the nave yard, around
the Capitol, the Post Office, Treasury,
Interior, War, and Navy buildings a
strong guard was placed, ready for any
emergency that might arise. At the
sight of the soldiery a panic ensued,
not one which arose from any fear of
immediate disaster, but from a name
less apprehension of something terrible
to come. A vague feeling that the na
tion had surrendered and without a
blow being anywhere struck in ita de
fense paralyzed fear itself, and for the
moment, resistance was impossible.—
Would the reaction ever come, or would
these little squads of armed men con
tinue to hold a nation in subjection at
will. At 1 o’clock a rush was made for
the telegraph offices throughout the
city. The military had taken posses
sion of each, and an order had been
issued prohibiting the sending of a
telegram not authorized by the officer
In command.,
Simultaneous with the order to place
Washington under martial law, a simi
lar order had been executed at each
State capital, so that by prearrange
ment, by the click of a single battery,
the whole nation lay prostrate at the
feet of its military master. Five thou
sand cannon and 30,000 armed soldiers,
without shedding a drop of blood, had
awed a nation of 40,000,000 into a si
lence profounder than death itself. At
several of the State capitals feeble at
tempts were made to wrest the State
governments from the hands of the
military commanders, without success.
SUPPRESSING THE PRESS.
The day following came the order
AUGUSTA, GA„ THURSDAY MORNING. JANUARY 31, 1875.
for anew election for President and
Vice-President. The day fixed for it
was the 28th of February. The order
was the signal for the exercise of that
gift still dearer than all others to every
true American, the gift of free speech
when it beholds an opportunity to
crystalize into oratory. Meetings were
called throughout the country to dis
cuss the order for the election, The
press, with the exception of the New
York Tribune, the Sun, the World, and
the Cincinnati Commercial, which had
been suppressed by an order issued on
the morning of the 20th, denounced
the order and suggested in vague terms
resistance to it.
At the time appointed for the meet
ings in several of the larger cities, the
military took possession of the halls
and no meetings were held. The press
muttered its thunders again, but in
vain, and before the day arrived for
the vote to be taken, all practical op
position to the order had ceased. The
election was directed by the military,
but to show that there had been no in
timidation of the voters, the people
had been permitted to appoint anew
set of inspectors in each election pre
cinct. The vote proved an unusually
light one, as was shown by the various
tallies, but the returns revealed frauds
more glaring than before. So de
bauched had the people themselve bo
come, through the men who had con
trolled the ballot for years, that the
conclusion was irresistible that an hon
est election would never again be held
under the Republic.
On the Ist of March, the day set
down for the counting of the votes in
accordance with the order, the election
was declared null and void. The nation
stood breathless with expectation. They
had not long to wait, for he who stood
at the helm would be sure to meet such
exigency as it arose with the stern self
command that had never yet failed him
in any moment of danger. They were
not disappointed. At noon on che 4th
of March, the hour at which the new
Congress v>ere to come together, ten
thousand troops, commanded by Gen.
Babcock, marched to the Capitol, took
possession of it, and from the portal
fronting Pennsylvania avenue, pro
claimed U. S. G. Dictator!
ATLANTA.
News and Gossip.
[CorrespondenceColumbus Enquirer.
The all-absorbing topics of conversa
tion here now are : The reduction of
the Homestead, the re-enactment of
the Usury Laws, and the State Printing.
Upon the
HOMESTEAD QUESTION
many of our legislators seem to be
quito at a loss to determine the most
politic course. I think, however, that
the weight of sentiment here is rather
iu favor of reducing to, at least SI,OOO.
A bill to that effect has already been
introduced in tho House. Very well,
let them pass it, but whoever votes for
it may as well calculate upon retiring
from politics iu Georgia, at least for a
while. It requires no prophet to tell
that. It only requires some acquain
tance with the feeling of “we, the peo
ple.”
The people of Georgia are not going
to allow the abolishment of the Home
stead ; they are not going to allow
even a reduction in the amount now
exempt. The men who come here, and
who do the talking are, for the most
part, men who are well off—men who
do not feel the need of the Homestead,
nay, many of them are peculiarly in
terested in its abolishment. Let them
attempt to abolish, or to reduce the
Homestead, and as sure as the night
follows the day the battle cry of “ we,
the people,” in the next election will be
“ The Homestead. It must, and shall
be preserved 1”
On the question of the
USURY LAWS
the members seem to be divided into
three classes: those in favor of a usury
law, those opposed to any usury law at
all, and those in favor of trying the
experiment of “free money”' a while
longer. The first seems to be In the
ascendancy, which was to liavo been
expected ; the second is the weakest In
numbers, but what little thinking there
is upon the subject all com.es from
them. The probability is that the usury
law will be re-enacted.
There is quite a lively contest for
the
STATH PRINTING.
A resolution was introduced, and
passed, in the Senate, to have the elec
tion on Monday. Estill, of the Savan
nah News, Styles, of the Albany News,
Christy, of the Athens Watchman, and
seme others, are here after a slice;
meanwhile they are on expenses here,
and they want the election over with,
so that they may go home. But the
resolution will be defeated In the
House, and the gentlemen will have to
pay another week’s board. Rev. J. W.
Burke, of the Christian Advocate, and
Jas. P. Harrison, of the Index and Bap
tist, are among the candidates.—
Now, I submit, the clerical press
show exceeding bad taste, to say
the least, in entering into a contest for
the State printing. What would Mr.
Burke think if the Herald should come
into the Methodist Conference as a
competitor for the church printing?
What would Mr. Harrison think if he
should have a rival in any political pa
per for tho Baptist Church printing ?
Meanwhile Dr. Baker, of Bartow, has
introduced a bill that the printing be
let out by the Governor to the lowest
bidder.
But Gen. Toombs declares that this
printing fund is simply a “ corruption
fund ;” and to put a stop to the traffic,
he is willing to do the State printing
“ for nothing.”

The Scramble.
Never in my life have I seen such
a scramble for office. They hail from
all quarters of the State; and side by
side with the gold-headed cane dandy
from the coast stands the sturdy,
brown-jeans and wool-hat mountaineer,
elbowing along from the Kimball House
to the Capitol, each one having carried
his Congressional District for some
particular person (so he says) and has
now come up to reap his reward. You
hear a shabby-genteei looking fellow in
the rear of you exclaim, “ is the
d—dest liar in the State. I elected him,
and now he fails to serve me,” In front
is an ex-barkeeper, ora former country
merchant or briefless disciple of Black
stone, all looking for the opportunity
of making a draw on the Treasury—in
deed, their name is “ legion,” and they
are everywhere. Of course hundreds
of these have played out and gone
home, but still there are a goodly num
ber “ standing at the door.” What a
pity that the State can’t give every
citizen a fat office 1

COTTON.
Friday, January 15—P M.
The effect of the bad weather duriug the
week has been quite marked in the cotton
cnarket, causing a rather limited business.
Receipts were not large either at this point
or at the ports, being much less than at the
same period last year, and in consequence
there has been more firmness, witn the
prices oi last week fully sustained. Now
that we again have fair weather it may be
that there will be an increase of receipts.
We compile the following regarding the
market from the daily reports of the Au
gustaiExchange:
Saturday the market was irregular,
though there was a fair demand with sales
g° the basis of 12% for good ordinary, 13%
iow middling, and 14®14% for
middling. Monday it was quiet with de
mand moderate: Low middling, 13%; and
middling, 14(514%. luesday it was firmer,
but unchanged in price. Wednesday it re

14%i@14%. Thursday it was firm with light
receipts and fair sales, on the basis of 13%
for low middling and 14% for middling. To
day ( Friday) it was quiet but firm, with no

were; Good ordinary, 12%; low middling,

Augusta, Friday, January 15,1875.
Business has continued quiet during the
week, owing to the continuation of bad
weather, but It has now cleared off, and
there is a fair prospect for clear skies, at
least for a few days. We may look there
fore for a good trade the coming week, as
many planters and others will be coming
forward to obtain their Spring supplies.
The trade in fertilizers, seeds, etc., for tho
Spring planting, has not yet fairly opened,
but our merchants, in each lino, have full
and varied stocks, sufficient to ineot the ex
pected demand.
