Who are the Kefoinitrs!
Our South Carolina correspondent
seems to think he is in a fine humor
this week, but we rather doubt it
jet Our remarks upon his former
letter switched him off his agricul
tural road on to a kind of political
side-track, and he runs like it was
down grade all the way. We are
glad to have his letter, however, and
take pleasure in laying it before our
readers in full, instead of consigning
it to the waste basket, as he, in a
private note, suggests that we might
do. We are glad to publish it for
the reason that we think it voices

ROWE’S ESCAPE.
How it all happened-! deputy sheriff

We take the following account o'
the escape of Jim Rowe from the

the sake of the reputation of the of

negligence or corruption:
After the train had crossed the
Chattahoochee river, one and a half
miles beyond Whitesburg, it slacken
ed up its speed for the purpose of
taking on board some tools and ropes
used by the railroad bauds in filling
up the trestle of the bridge. While
it was running quite si wly over the
the embankment which had recent
ly been made, Rowe jumped out ol
the window on the left side of the
car, falling on the solt dirt and rol
ling some thirty feet down to the
bottom of the embankment, from
which he run into a thicket close by.

recognize the justice of their com
plaints but do not agree to their
plan of settiDg things right It is a
very easy matter to sit down and
criticise our neighboi’s management
of his affairs, but it is not near so
eaBj to manage oars so as to escape
bis condemnation. Our correspon
dent, and many who act with him,
became dissatisfied with the way the
Democratic party was managing
things in Georgia, and they just
stepped outsideof it, turned up their
noses at it and said abusive and de
rogatory things about it to all the
neighbors, thereby winning the ap
plause and congratulations of the
enemies of the party. Others in the
party agreed with them that a change
was necessary but did not think the
way to reform an organization was
to withdraw from it and abuse it.
More Anor will doubtless admit
that these last were just as sincere
in their way of thinking as he and his
friends were in theirs. This being
the case, their differences were really
as to the means and not the ends in
• view. The “organized” preferred to
go to work, purify, renovute and re
form abuses: the “Independents”
stand off at a safe distance with their
nasal organs in an attitude of dis
gust and roundly abuse the whole
concern. While an “organized” leg
islature, backed and encouraged by
an “organized" press and party, is
earnestly at work exposing and pun
ishing corruption and malfeasance
in office the “Independents,” through
their press, rear back on their pas
terns and howl themselves hoarse
about rings and cliques and frauds
and such. Which is the true re
former 7
If our “independent” friends are
really iu earnest about this reform -
ling bn8iuess we extend them a cor
dial invitation to cease dealing in
abuse and “glittering generalities”
and join hands in the work with
the organized, who “mean business.”
The Democratic party, by tradition,
by precedent, by theory, by practice,
and by natural inclination, is fully
committed to the policy of economy
and honesty in the administration of
public affairs, and whenever and
wherevo' it finds a man, in its ranks
«r cat, who is guilty of violating :
this rule it addresses iiself with zeal
and alacrity to a correction of the
abuse. “Independents” who are
faonest in their expressed sentiments
will find the “organized” much more
zealous and efficient co-laborers in
the work of reform and retrench
ment than the doubtful company
with which they have been associa
ted in their recent war upon their
old party friends. We infer from
the more cheerful tone of our friend’s
letter that thie idea has already bro
ken in upon his mental vision, like
a sunburst of light, and is diffusing,
itself throughout his system and 1
making his thoughts of our future
politics more genial and pleasant.
There is so reason seder the sun'
why all Democrats should not pull
together pleasantly and amicably,'
save that it is to the interest of a
few ambitions demagogues do have
them do otherwise. Just how long
it will take people to find this oat
asd profit by it remains to be seen.
In the mean time our correspon
ded will please forward his obser
vations upon the fence law.
some water in the same oar. The
deputy Sheriff immediately jumped
out also, and the Sheriff soon follow
ed. When the deputy Sheriff jum-
ed out, he was no more than thirty
feet from Rowe. According to the
statement of those on the train,
who were eye-witnesses to the whole
affair, when the Sheriff and his dep
uty got to the edge of the woods into
which Rowe escaped, they halted, as
if to hold a consultation of war. Just
about this time it occurred to the
deputy that he had left his hat in
the train and as it was more impor
tant in hia estimation to get this
than to catch the prisoner, he ran
back up the enbaukment, for the
purpose of getting it, and when he
returned, it seems that the Sheriff
had decided to go back to Whites
burg, to summons help to catch the
handcuffed prisoner, who was in the
woods some few feet from them.
This is a true history of the affair as
we got it from those on the train.
The Sheriff and his deputy retur
ned through this place Tuesday
evening, reporting that they were
unable to catch Rowe.
SIDE INCIDENTS CONNECTED WITH
THE ESCAPE.
Sheriff Hewit of this county toid
Holcombe, the morning he left here,
that if he didn’t mind, that Rowe
would get away from him, and Rowe
hitnself, we understand, made his
boasts that he didn’t expect to be
carried to Atlanta by any snch stock
i s the Sheriff and his deputy, that
he expected -to get away and kill
Nunn, who had turned State’s evi
dence and he says swore falsely
against him.
The Sheriff forgot his pistol when
he left here Monday morning, and
neither he nor his deputy were ar
med at the time of the escape.
Galimore, who is now in juil here,
*.n.l who failed to get a trial last
week, was perfectly delighted when
he heard of Rowe’s escape. The
cause of his joy in the matter, it
is thought, is that he believes the
escape of Rowe will have the effect
of running Nunn out of the country,
he being the main witness against
him, and without whom it would be
a difficult matter to convict him.
At Sargant’s factory some five
miles beyond the river, three strange
men, it is stated, came on board the
train, and after walking through it,
and looking at each other signifi
cantly and smiling, they left going
in the direction of the river.
The Convict Question,
We are net at all moved by the
maudlin sentiment to which some
men appeal in dealing with the ques
tion of the disposition of convicted
criminals. They have forfeited their
liberty to the State, and we regard
it as the duty of the State to choose
some mode of disposing of them
which shall at once secure them as
prisoners and hold them to the pen
alty of labor—at the same time hav
ing regard to their health, as a mat
ter of course. We find that labor
was not only the command given by
the Almighty to man when He first
created him, but was a punishment
imposed for the £rst transgression.
Those penal laws which conform
most closely to the Divine commands
and decrees hove generally been
found most efficient. The sickly
jhilanthropv that would make the
lives of convicts even easier and more
comfortable than that ol the great
mass of honest free-laborers is not
worthy the attention of legislator.
They owe to criminals only the con
sideration of a ■common humanity
which foibids cauelty and requires
attention to their health and comfort,
and at the same time they owe to the
State and the people the punishment
of crime at the least public expense
compatible with what is due>to tliej
convict—Atlanta Dispatch.

Has Had Its Day
If a few more southern cities will
follow the lead of Atlanta, it will
not be long before New England will
have no use for any kind of cottou
mills, as the "South will then be pre
pared to do its own manufacturing.
What will becom.- of poor New Eng
land then ? Always dependent upon
the South and West, yet always the
leading spirit in *he cause of seC'
tional hate and party prejudice
against those sections, it is high time
she were node to feel her real de-
pendence upon that part of the
country against which her vindictive
hand has always been raised. Al
ready her silent mills, idle hands and
vacant farms tell too plainly that
the land of barren rocks aud bigoted
fanaticism has had its day in free.

This is “book-farming” of the pres

We said not a word against educat
ing farmers. We believe in every
body being educated. Wherein, then,
consists onr inconsistency ? Still,
we insist that we do not want to
take onr lessons in farming from
men who know nothing practically
about it. Our successful farmers
are those who make farming their
business; who have learned by ob
servation and experience bow best
to prepare, manure, and cultivate
their crops. Sit-in-the-shade theo
rists are generally miserable failures.
There never was a truer couplet
than :
“lie that by the plow would thrive.

In commenting npon that portion
ef our letter wherein we gave the
political viaws of quite a number of
whom we met in onr travels, you
state that we are “evidently soured”
about something. You’re right.
We are indeed “soured.” We are
“soured”j over high taxes; we are
“soured” because of high salaried
officials; men who.make as much by
their salaries and stealages in six
months as the average farmer would
in Bix years. We are “soured” be
cause of these extra legislative ses
sions; these innumerable little local
bills which consume so much of
the time of otir Legislature; we
are “soured” over the immense gas
works now in operation m the capi-
tol at Atlanta; we are “sonred” over
the corruption in high places. But
we feel decidedly more cheerful now.
We have just read in your Atlanta
correspondence that the “organized”
have determined to “regulate their
own household.” We rejoice with
“exceeding great joy,” at this an.
nouucement, for if ever a house
hold did netd “regulating” in this
world it is theirs. We bid you
God speed. Drive out the “money
changers;” root out corruption;
rtduce the number and salaries of
your officers; give us wise, whole
some laws, and an. economical ad
ministration of governmental affairs;
reduce taxation to the lowest possi
ble limit. Thus “regulate your
household” and you will find the
true Democracy all over Georgia
rallying to your standard; do this,
and even the “Independent” leaders
whom you are pleased to denomi
nate “arrant political knaves and
tricksters” will fight under your
banner. Do this and Georgia will
indeed have a happy, contented,
prosperous people. Do this and
Georgia will not care a fig whether
she can borrow money at eight or
even one per cent. She will not
need to borrow any. A prosperous
individual don’t often have to borrow
money. Neither should a prosper
ous State. Yes, Messrs. “Organized,”
“regulate your own household”—
then the misstou of the ■‘‘Indepen
dents’* will have ended. The polit
ic il millennium will be at hand.
Together we will raise a common
flag bearing upon its folds the words:
Liberty, cqnaliiy, honesty, economy.
Felton wonld doubtless act as color-
bearer. Under its folds will be
inarching hand-in-hand Toombs and
Hill, Dabney and Lester, followed
by the lesser “fry” “organized” and
“independent.” We are decidedly
cheerful.
We cannot give your readers the
benefit of onr observations on the
“fence law” this week, having mis
placed our manuscript. Will do
so hereafter if desired.

Some would-be humanitarians in
the Legislature are again agitating
the question of feather-beds and fried
oysters for our convicts. We think
the lease system now in operation
the best ever tried. It relieves the
tax-payers of a great burden, finds
profitable employment for our host of
culprits, and has greatly cheapened
the construction of railroads and
other public improvements. We do
not believe in holding a murderer or
thief op to public gaze as a perse
cuted angel, whose every want and
comfort it vs is duty of the State
to supply, t hey should be treated
humanely, but at the same time pun
ished for their crimes. If the plan
mapped out by some of our represent
atives is carried into operation why
in Bix months evvry negro in the
State would be a candidate for the
cnain-gaog. They care not for the
disgrace, so loug as they are fed and
clothed at public expense and have
little or nothing to do. The lease
system keeps them at work, and they
are subjected to a treatment no more
rigorous than that practiced in the
days of slavery by strict planters. It
is just what a convict needs, aud
is our only hope of keeping down
crime. Besides, the sacred honor of
our State is pledged to the lessees,
and it would be a disgrace to the
commonwealth to violate it—Ogle

Democrats has been saved in spite of
steady and strenuous opposition from
Republicans and the administration ;
in spie of continuous howls about the
treasonable purposes of the Democ-

public service is towards growth of
patronage and power. This ten
dency has only been checked in part
part by the elections of a Democra

administration is needed to carry ont
the reform as it shonld be. The ex
penses of the Government in 1877,
outside of charges fordsbt and pen
sions, were $114,000,000, nearly doa

needlessly expensive to the people
and have increased the interest on
the public debt at the same time that
they huve edded $86,000,000 to its

have been bought because they are
practically, by being exempt from
taxation, six and seven per cent,
bonds, and because industry has
been so broken down that capital
cannot earn four per cent clear in
other directions. Investments in

prosperity, bnt of idle capital seek

not be used again ? Supervisors and
their bummers bad been paid out of
ithe pnblic treasury to force tbe elec
tion of Republican Congressmen
against the agll of the people. Was
it right to leave this party in poses-
sion of this power, which has been
so much abused ? On this question
we have appealed from the President
to tbe people. Let tbe latter decide
it. If you want to pay hundreds of
thousands of dollars each congres
sional election to have bayonets
around the polls and marshals and
spies to inspect and control State
elections of officers, vote the Republi
can ticket, for the Democracy will
never spend a dollar for that service.
The power to regulate tbe elections
resides in the States, and the Dem
ocracy proposes to keep it there. The
speaker was not a strict construc
tionist, but believed in sustaining
tbe distinctive features of the consti
tution on which the perpetuation of
popular liberty depends. It was the
tendency of Republican measures
and policy to subvert government by
tbe people, and it was to the masses
of the people that he looked to op
pose those tendencies and keep un
sullied for their children the jewel
of popular liberty and selfgovern
ment.
