The New York World, hitherto unfavorable to Hill for the Presiden cy is doing good work for the De» mocracy in that State. It says : There are absolutely no grounls on which a rupture in the Demo cratic party in this State can be justified. Democracy is the lule of the ma» jority. And since the meeting of the State Convention at Albany no one has ventured to say that this body, called prematurely though it was, did not represent a large ma jority of the Democrats of New York. Itistbednty otthe minor ity to submit to the nnmistakab'e will of the majority nnlesa some vital principle binding upon the conscience of individuals is in» volved. No such principle is cow at stake. A difference of opinion as to the date of the convention cannot jus* tify a fatal division in the party. If the wrong were much greater, bolt* ing would not be a remedy. One wrong does not justify and cere an other. To organize a 'rupture, at this jnnotnre, is to organize Democratic t defeat. It is a privilege and a duty of party membership to protest against mistakes in management. But pro test carried to revolt that would give success to the opposition ceases to be principle and becomes treason to the party. The delegate and the electors chosen are Democrats ot approved character and standing. Several them have until very recently acted with the other wing of the party. There was no ostracism nor vindic tiveness in the convention. It is now the duty of the dissatis- - fied Democrats to do their share in res oting the party unity which is essential to success. The selection candidate for President and the to which the vote of New York’s delegation is entitled are manifestations of popular anrest Yet the revolution must come finally. In Brazil the thing was done in a day The Emperor of Germany re lies upon his army. Should the army sympathize with the revolutionists, the end of king-rule in the Father land wonld be immediate. Bismarck suppressed the socialists by severe precautionary measures. The young Emperor, having dismissed Bis marck, sought to render ' hem barm - less by allowing them liberty of speech. He bas fonnd that he has strengthened them by bis genero ity, They are more aggressive. The Ber lin disorder is not to be lightly re garded. It brings to mind the early days of the French revolution. As the dispatches have said, a great deal of history may be made in Germany during the year. It was a small fire that kindled the French conflagra tion of just a century ago. The stu dent of events should keep an atten tive eye on Germany. i matters that may be safely and hon orably left to the National Conven tion. There can be no contesting delegation. A protesting delegation could cnly stir np strife. The call for a new convention should be with drawn. If it is not, Democrats who desire the success of their party should refuse to countenance it. The next President must be a Democrat. GOOD DOCTRINE TO PREACH* The Augusta Chronicle delivers itself along the right line when it says: The Sooth does not need, and can' not aflord, a third party. The pur* suit of this third party chimera only only means the triumph of the Re=> publican party. Alliancemen of Georgia and the South must not permit themselves to be drawn away from the politicial fahh of the Fathers. They were born and reared in the Democratic party. They have furnished the brawn and brain of the party in troublous times that are past and they mast not desert it now. Nothing is more absolutely certain than the hopelessness of third party snccess in the coming national cam- p'aign, while there is a bright pros pect of Democratic triumph if the Alliancemen of the South remain true to their party affiliations and do not insure a Bepublican victory by dividingthe voters of the solid South. The most rabid, the most enthusi astic, the most earnest, the most misled champion of the third party has not the faintest idea of the elec l'on of a Third party President this year. What, then, must be the re sult of supporting a third party tick et? Simply taking away the voters from the two established parties. In a division among the white farmers of the Sooth which party would lose these votes? The Democratic party alone, and the greater the vote polled by the third party the greater the service to the Republicans. Do the farmery of Georgia and the South wish to work to perpetuate the Re publicans in power; to win victory for party of the force bill and carpet bag rule? Do the Alliancemen of Georgia—the Democrats of Georgia —wish to desert to the support of t heir life long enemies? We do not believe it and we will never admit it. tion. It says: Monday’s convention at Albany was Democratic. It was called too early. Its inception was mistake, but there is no doubt of the character of the convention itself. The delegates were representative Democrats. The men wl:o went to Albany from New York and Brook* lyn are the men under whose leader ship the Democratic party has, /ear after year, rolled up the majorities in the southern part of the State that have overcome the hostile Republi can vote of the northern and middle counties. The delegates chosen to represent the State at Chicago are men who are known from one end of the State to the other as faithful Democrats. The convention was organized and controlled by Democrats. The ntterances of the convention were also Democratic. No sounder Democratic platform could be framed than that adopted by the Albany Convention. The counsel of the World was followed, and the plat form declared once more the beliefs on which the Democratic parly mast contend for the Presidency. The ringing and model platform of 1874, on which Gov. Tilden was elec ted, was reaffirmed. The Democracy of New York announced themselves in favor of a tariff for revenue only, of honest money, of home rule. They again declared themselves in favor of repeal of the iniquitous Sherman law, and as opposed to “the coinage of any silver dollar which is not t f the Intrinsic value of every other dol lar in the United States.” There is nothing to complain of as to the character of the convention or its platform. Both delegates and principles are thoroughly Democrat* ic. of Congressman Livingston, ‘ it is all democratic doctrine with the ex ception of its transportation ideas and that part which calls for back pay to Union soldiers. The platform of tie deiro".ratic pnrl-y covers all the demands that are asked by li e Alliance, end if the democratic party wins this fall, re lief will be at hand. Should democracy be defeited. what relief can this new party offer to the farmers? None. It would require years at best fo” it to get, control of the government in all its branches with a probability of its never getting control. If the democratic platform is a good one, is it not much the better course for the farmers to pursue to vote the ticket that will bring the relief they wish? Those who circulate the report of Judge Fuller’s resignation deny to him tbe attributes of foresight *and discretion and the capacity to appre ciate the honor of an exal-.ed posi tion. When the office of Chief Jus tice was tendered to him he knew the amount of salary be would re ceive. He rea’ized the dignity, the If the Democratic party wishes to presi rve the solidity of the south in its columns, it will do well to put this down as a fact to be rememb red and the proper cause to pursue- t er clear of Cleveland as a cand d *t!

DELUDED NEGROES. When will the negro race in the South, says the Richmond Times, learn that their best friends are the Southern whites ? Every effort they make to better their condition by going i lsewhere invariably leads to distress and disaster. Two groups of deluded darkies have already left their homes in Arkansas f or Liberia, and now they find themselves strand ed in New York, houseless, penni less, without friends or food and thousands of miles away from their 1 nged-for Utopia. The worst of it is that colonies of other colored men are following their example, and un less something is done to check the exodus, New York will find tbe en tire black population of Arkansas destitute on its bands. Why is it that no one of the many professional colored philanthropists of Yanfee:- dom will tell these unfortunate ne groes that they can make a fair liv ing in the South while they would starve to death in Africa ? PLANT MORE CORN. The time is at hand when the far mers of the South are called upon to solve the great question of reducing the cotton acreage. It must be done and every one who has studied the question admi’s this much. How is it to bo done ? is asked. Well, in many ways. Suppose our farmers try one very effec’ ive way. Plant more corn. A good corn crop means a great deal in the Sou h. It means a great deal, because it helps just that much towards raising home supplies. Let our farmers plant more corn and less cotton, and see how the experiment will work. We dare say it will work well. -Editorial Comment g, n »rat with tbe au hority to d o ;<re newspapers fnd pamphlets nor-mail- able, i neli'ding tbe future issueF, if they contain a certain cltssof advertisi'g matter concerning drugs, m* d cues, apparatus and treatment relate g ■ d s- eases common throughout the wor d.

The recent riots in Berlin bring to mind vi ry. forcibly the fact that as tbe years roll by there are be om- ing less kings in the world. 1 he singing of the Marseilles in the streets of Berlin bears intense sig nificance. The people wLo live under monarchical'for ms of government are learning fast how blessed is the lib erty voucbsa r ed to citizens under a democratic government. The Memphis Appeal-A va’anehe .in. speaking of these riots, says The s<.r«.e 3 of Berlin, the city of the Emperor’s renidence, have been filled with rioting socialists for a week, And the very gates of his castle have been assaulted.

The move ment in favor of Mr. Hill, started, by the unterrifkdemocracy of New York is sweeping over the Union and ell the sections are gaining their forces to the array of delegates that will nominate Hill at Chicago. Men, who were stannch Cleveland men two months ago, row declare that he is unvailaMe as a candidate, and that the signs of the times point to Hill as the strongest possible candidate. They have nothing to say against Mr., Cleveland bat are too good democrats and love their country too well to sacrifice tbe suc cess of the party of the people for the personal gratification of any man. Even Mr. Wattersor, probably tbe strongest supporter Mr. Cleveland has had in Am< ric a,now declares that the voice of the convention must be heeded and that a movement towards a second convention should be dis- THE SCHEME UNCOVERED. The wise counsel and patriotic position of Col. Livingston in his recent Covington speech deserves more than mere passing mention. The Colonel was fre9h from the St. Louis convention and theie diag nosed, with his been acumen, the deliberate purpose of certain schem ers to lead the Alliance into the great cesspool of pension rot and color line pretence, and he has come home and told it. The reception of his" speech demonstrates that the poor Confederate veteran who has all the debts, is unwilling to be fur ther taxed to pay an inflated pension to the Northern veteran, who has ail ;he money. Why should this multiplied pen sion be put upon as, in our impov erished condition ? The politicians who have tried to lead the people into this pension rot will realize that they are left, and Col. Livingston whose clear head, consistent con duct and wise advice has discovered, disclosed and repudiated it, will re ceive the commendation and support of the people. Has it come to this ? Is tbe third party scheme a mere device to get Congress to appropriate a billion more dollars lor pensions? This hope of additional appropriation seems to have employed same bright, bat erratic advocates, but their game is up—it has been disclosed, and there is no weapon like publicity. It is time now: to look for dinials and different tactics, but if it is not watched it will tern np at tin same old stand. “E’ernal vigilance is the price of liberty.” What the third party eccentrics propose to give the Southern farmer in money, they promise to take away and give to the Northern veteran in pensions. This is killing two birds wi.h one atone and pastes for pro gress. JUST A POINTER. It is nothing more than an indi cation of Mr. Hill's feelings toward the South, but it goes to show tbe true Democratic doctrine that dom inates him. In his last message as Governor of New York to the General Assembly of that State, among other things he said: “ It is useless to pass any appro priation to the Colombian Exposition while the infamous force bill is pend ing. We will have to country and no prosperity if that bill is passed, and I will veto any appropriation for tbe World's Fair until all mea- ures to degrade the Sooth are dropped;’ Let the people of the South re member that, when misguided pa pers try to heap calumny upon the head of David B. Hill. Thk frRowing brief comment of tbe Atnens Banner bas b±en called to our attention; Hon. John T. Glenn has appointed a committee of fifteen to organize tbe St.ite for Hill We notice that the fif teen are able and representatives citi zens of Atlanta, but would kindly sug gest Lr the good of Mr. Hili’s candida cy in Georgia, that it would be much better for each county to do its own . r- ganizii g. Atlanta is the pride of Geor gia, but fife* en < f ber best c tizens will hardly be able to organize the State for Hill. Tbe Editor of tbe Banner surely did not read the aocount of the Atlanta meeting, which authorized tbe appoint ment of the committee which bas issued and address concerning the importance of organization to put Georgia on Che Bide of democratic success, or be would b&ve known that the purpose of the meeting was to do just what the Banner says should be done—“to have every county do its own organizing.” Atlanta simply started chp oall in mo tion, and the meeting appointed a com mittee on looal organization and another committee to urge every county in the State to do likewise. This committee has simply issued an address urging every county in the State to do as Ful ton county is doing—organize.—Atlan ta Constitution. The i d'tor cl the Banner did Te&d tbe aocount of the Atlanta meetii g which said that a committee of fifteen had been appoint id to organize the State for HilL The local notice of the meeting evidently failed to carry the intended impression, but organiz- d or unorganized the State of Georgia is for Hill. DEMOCRATIC. ORGANIZATION* We would nrge upon the democ racy of Georgla~the te ezsny of or ganization in every respect. We are in the midst of a great national campaign in which one small error might be disastrous in i’s effects. We believe there should be organ., ized throughout tbe State clu^s,— not Hill clubs nor Cleveland clubs, but democratic clubs, pledged to the support of tbe democratic platform and the nominee who is run upon it. To aid in the redemption of the. country from the misrule and ops pression of republicanism, and to assist in restoring it to the just and economical administration npon Jeffersonian principles should be the proud duty of all democrats. las Democrats of tbe House of Rep resentatives are to be commended for deserving Republican criticism, to the effect that public buildings are not to be authorized unless there exists a press ing necessity for them. The R* publi can Senate is going right along pissing bills for increased expenditures for .this purpose, apparently oblivious of tbe faot that tbe Billion Dollar Congress left the Treasury face to face with an ncreasrd public debt. The Democrats can save eome money on public build- : ng=*, and it is gratifying to learn that they intend to do so. Watterson on the Albany Result.; Louisville Courier-Journal. Now that the Democrats of New York have spoken through ike regular and lawful channel* appe m*-d for party expres-i* n, a: d the Hon. David Ben nett Hill is formally presented to hi: fellow-Democrats of the United States a3theeboice of the Dealtemt* of the Empire State fer President, the ques tion before the country becomes one rf yeas and nays; for whoever secures tbe nomination mu6t beat Mr. Hill. „ Whatever else we do, let us not mis take the issue. It is squarely before us. Mr. Cleveland is no longer a p issibility His selection as the Dim'critic stand ard-bearer, if such a thing were und‘ r the circumstances conceivable, wou d be on tbe part of the National Deni tcracy an ait of deliberate suicide lie could n*>t be elected, and we are so sure of his good sense, as well as of bis dignity of character, that we have no idea that he will allow his name to g before the National Demoi r. tic Con ven tion. The Democrats < f the Union should meet the act of the New York Demo crats in setting Mr. Cleveland aside, of fioially as it were, ani advancing Mr. Hill to the party leadership—for this is the meaning of the work d me yest day at Albany—with all possible con sidoration. We must treat it fairly, is not tbe part of wisdom, nor is it just r r prudent, to fly into a passion about it, to assail its authors and to abuse its subjects. © Tt RGIA, CLARKE COTJ'-TV.

H ERRlNGTOK. Ordinary. in THE END TO BE ATTAINED- There is an end to be attained in the great national conflict now being waged. It is the emancipation of American fieemen from the slavery of monopoly and tr onnied oppres< countenanced; that the supporters of aion. That is what the farmer, tbe Mr. Cleveland in New York shou’d be willing to set aside for the time 1 eing; and that the will of the ma jority should rule. Mr. Watterson is right It wou!d bs a dangerous procedure on tbe part of demo crats. The New York World, that has b< en opposing Hill allblpng, strongly fights against a secoit'd convention and declares it to be the duty Qf the democracy of New York to acquietci in the action of the Febuaiy conven- merchont, the me< hanic, the laborer a e a 1 fighting for. When democracy assures the people of the attainment of the de sired end and victory is almost in sight, the farmers of the South are asked to lift tbe anchor that has held them to democracy through so many 8tc rmy battles and drift into a third party that promises them relief. The platform enanciated by the Third parly is for the most part good attached to the democratic doctrine. In the word* 'Justice of the Supreme Court- CHIEF JUSTICE FULLER. The rumor that Chiei Justice Ful ler intends shortly to res gn from the bench of the Supreme Court is no doubt baseless, says the Chicag • Herald. The reason assigned for the resignation is more ridicnlous ’han tie story of the resignation itself. It is that Judg t Fuller sur rendered a law practice of $a0,000 per annum, and the salary of his of fice is only $10,500 per annum. The reader is left to infer that ti e Ch ef Justice has only recently discovered tbe amount of salary that is bung paid him. The statement is fuither made that he is dissatisfied with his position because it afforis him no opportunity f r making a great repu diation This i~ j eal»y refreshing.in tbe face of the fact that in the mind of every honorable lawyer 1 jhere ie no greater earthly distinction thhn that position of Chief Colonel Livingston states emphati cally that no vlliai ceman is bound to the third party in any way by tbe ac tion of the convention. He thinks that the national democratic convention will make a platform r.t Chicago which will embody the demands c*f the alli ance. It shou’d be clearly -und r to d that the convention ref us* d to act on the third party question. After tbe convention adjourn* d a mass meeting was hi Id at which separate political or ganizations was er dorsed, hut the reg ular alliar c * delegates walk* d out and bad no part in the proceedings.
