TUESDAY, NOVEMBER 4, 18K4.
How many votes will snivelling Belva
get? M|
The republicans iu Connecticut re
luctantly C 4 uicede that state to Cleveland.
Blustering Ben Butler will be sent
home to-night a sadder, if not a w iser,
fool. __
The Presbyterian brethren axe consid
erably stirred up over the question of
evolution.
Every bonnet in which ’there was a
presidential bee last spring is now a
senatorial hornet’s nest.
Four months from to-day, Arthur, the
only original dude president, will slide
from the White House.
If any two men ought to be .'eternally
execrated by a patriotic people, those
two men ore Butler and Dana.
Belva and Ben and Johnny w ill soon
retire to the shades of the past. A grate
ful country will smile twice when they
are gone.
It were far better for the democratic par- ,
ty and the country generally, had Sherift
Cleveland lmug Butler and Drub instead
of the two criminals whom he is charged
with having hung.
The democrats confidently count on
>ew York, Connecticut, New Jersey and
Indiana, and believe that they have even
chances in Illinois, Michigan, Ohio, Nr
>cda, California and New Hampshire.
The guod people of Cincinnati are just,
ly uxdiguant that United States marshals
are so freely used in Ohio, and they are
determined that there shall be a free
ballot and fair count.
Our' little sister state. Florida, may be
outraged to-dav by having thrust upon
her bastard votes. No expedient will be
left untried to make her cost her vote for
Blaine. Still we are confident that she
will rise triumphant over her every un
fortunate surroundings.
Negroes in South Carolina are armed
and ready to fight. This is a deplorable
state of affairs. This ignorant and trac
table race of people would not violate
every moral law and social obligation, if
left to themselves. They are instigat >d
and encouraged by a party that will
stoop to anything, end that i9 now, we
hope, in its death throes.
A great many hard things have been
said about Beecher; and, no doubt, a
great deal of what has been said was mer
ited. But this eminent divine’s speeches
and articles on the pending presidential
election have almost expiated all of his
former folly and indiscretion. If Beech
er ever was light on any subject, he is
certainly level-headed ou the presiden
tial question*
TAB ELECTION.
It is impossible at this time to forecast
the result of the natioual election. While
we write the battle rages thick and furi
ous. The nerves of the nation are drawn
to the tightest tension and her pulses
beat excitedly. We most earnestly hope
that the grand old principles of Democ
racy will be triumphant. Tliis wish is
so strong within us that we believe that
it will be triumphant. The verdict is
now beiag written, and how shall we re
joice if it shall read “Turn the rascals
out!*' It is money pitted against princi
ple, and we have an abiding confidence
that Eight will prevail.
OIK BANKERS AND COTTON BUYERS.
In our trade issue we overlooked some
important business parties, especially
our cotton buyers and banking facilities.
There are not to be found in any cotton
market a more liberal set of buyers than
we have. Messrs. Milam, Griffin raid
Howard are constantly on the platform
paying full prices for all the staple offer
ed, and can use twice ns much ns comes
to market and propose to the formers
very full prices, aud desire larger re
ceipts in the future, and pledge them
selves to pay such prices that to ship to
any other Southern market would be to
lose money, as large orders from East
ern manufacturers enable them to pay
the best prices. All cotton is sold for
cash here —no barter, and with cash in
hand, our farmers can buy goods cheap
er in our city than any market we know
of. Bring in your cotton, gentlemen.
Our bank here offers all needed facil
ities for business, having abundant
means to pay for double the cotton offer
ed for sale and affords assistance to farm
ers in the spring, when they are push
ed for laborers in their cotton Helds. It
also furnishes exchange to our mer
chants on New York, Atlanta, Cincinnati,
Chattanooga, etc., at moderate rates, as
well as to all travelling drummers, col
lectors, etc., who desire New York ex
change—oheckiug on the Chemical Na
tional Bank, in New York, believed to be
the strongest bank in America. It has,
at heavy cost, prepared a place of safety
for its depositors, having one of the best
aud thickest walled vaults iu Georgia,
and they have bought recently a large,
burglar proof safe—burglar proof outside
aud inside—from the celebrated safe
manufacturers, Herring A Cos., of New
York City, thus offering a place of safe
ty for all who wish a secure pluce for
money, bonds and valuables. With Will
Howard as cashier, and Dick Clayton as
teller, the public need no further assur
ance from us that everything is safe in
their bauds—they are trustworthy, com
petent and honest, and honest weu are
fhe noblest Wojt of 0-4.
OIK STATE FAIR.
The Georgia State Fair just closed was
the moat successful, both in point of ex
hibit and attendance, iu the history of
state expositions. Indeed it far exceeded
the most sanguuine expectations of its
managers, and would even have been
greater had the proper enterprise been
ffispluyvil in advertising. But, be that
as it may, the agricultural society of the
state deserves much credit for efforts to
make it a success, and the splendid ex
hibits and large attendance was a magui
ficient evidence that the people of Geor
gia appreciated their labors. The dis
play in every department was unusually
good, and showed the rapid progress be
ing made by the state in every branch
of industry, and the rich abundance of
resouces. These annual fairs can be
made the means of accomplishing much
good iu the progress of Georgia’s agri
cultural and mechanical industries and
bringing the people closer together in
the various sections of tlie states. \V T e

TUF. SCOTT LAW DECISION.
The muddle iu Ohio should be charged
up to the republicans, for the primary
difficulty of meeting the will of the peo
ple is found in the absurd constitution of
the state, which was adopted by repub
lican votes about five years ago. It
says: “No license to traffic iu intoxicat
ing liquors shall hereafter be granted iu
this state.” This provision constitutes
wliat is known among temperance people
as “constitutional prohibition,” und it
was carried at the end of an agitation
such as only Ohio can produce. The
republicans practically put this provis
ion iu the constitution, and yet when
they were threatened with a loss of the
German vote, and through that loss with
a loss of all political power in the state,
they turned about and passed, first the
“Pond law,” and when that law was pro
nounced uoonetitutional, they devised
the “Scott law. ” The Scott law was in
truth a license law, and its terms were
reasonable. The right to sell wine and
beer was taxed at the rate of SIOO a year,
and the right to sell stronger drinks was
put ut S2OO. The law brought iu a great
deal of money to be applied to the sup
port of the poor or the pay of a police
force, or some similar object of local tax
ation, and the people were beginning to
accept it. But of course it could not
stand. The republicans had tied the
hands of the people so that they could
not have anything but free whisky or
absolute prohibition. * The entire trouble
that is upon ihe people of Ohio to-day
is chargeable to tlie absurd and radical
action of the republicans; and if the
people of that state are us intelligent
and discriminating ns we give them
credit for, they will place the blame
where it belongs, and vote accordingly.
We see no reason,therefore,to apprehend
any change in the state adverse to the
democratic pai ty. The republican par
ty has stumbled and blundered over the
whisky question until it lias thrown the
state into confusion, and the people will
be apt to look at the matter calmly am,]
clearly long before they aguin go to the
polls.—Constitution.
EVOLUTION AND TUE SYNOD.
The Georgia Synod has at last dispos
ed of the evolution theory. By a vote of
t>o to 21 it has decided that I)r. Wood
row must not teach it in Columbia Sem
nary. That settles it, ns far as the
Georgia division is concerned.
It must occur to every one that a sec
ular paper has nothing whatever to do
with a church disturbance. On doc
trinal points only the doctors should take
the floor; but we respectfully submit,
without taking sides in this matter, that
the theory of evolution is public prop
erty, and no public journal should stand
tamely by and sec such property wan
tonly assailed.
The Telegraph’s opinion is that the
theory of evolution, now so universally
popular as to almost preclude the filling
of the Perkins professorship if it be bar
red, has not had a fair trial before the
Georgia 8} nod. The wrong side has
been forced to furnish the evidence, aud
the jury that tried the case was not com
petent. Dr. Woodrow has either broken
the laws of his church or he has not. If
he haa, why then he should be tried
upon specific charges. It should have
been charged that in teaching the theory
of evolution, he taught principles and
instilled ideas inimical to the Christian
religion. It was his right to appear be
fore a church court where form limits
the methods of assault and where every
plan of attuck may be known in advance.
As it is, he is being hauled up be
fore first one and then another w ing of
the church, surrounded by antagonists
and given but holt u chance at best. We
specify Dr. Woodrow, because at pres
ent he is the evolution theory.
Ifhobesnot broken the laws of his
faith, then no one beyond the directors
of the seminary have power to inquire
into his method of teaching science.
Tliis is a secular view; it is on outline
of the impression made upon the outside
public.
The theory of evolution has entertained
and interested the brightest minds in the
world for years. It is still the topic
amongst controversialists. And it maj
be said that men who believe iu and urge
it are largely Christians. Prof. LeConte
would scarcely pass for an infidel. If we
mistake not his beief iu evolution
is not only strong, but supplemented,
as is Dr. Woodrow’s, by the belief
that there is perfect harmony between
i science and religion. LeConte has spent
years, as hove his great contemporaries,
in arriving at his conclusions. Our
friends of the Synod have finished in a
week. Granting as we do that they are
men of sense, and by reason of their pro
fession and its necessary preparation far
j above the average iu intellect, they are
still incapacitated to pass upon the ques-
I tions embraced in the theory of evolu
1 tion. We confess to a feeling of disap-
I pointuient at the result. It has occurred
to us that the Georgia Synod might have
said “Dr. Woodrow may teach evolution
j so long as he teaches it in harmony with
| the bible;” or that they might have sub
j mitred the whole question to as elect jury
of the entire church with instructions to
t spend years if necessary in its investiga
i ..
j turn.
The synod lias done nothing except to
close the discussion for the time being.
It cannot keep men from thinking. It
has dodged the true issue.—[Telegraph
