I.—Tbe work of tbe peace oommlaaione is proceeding rap* idly and ualeea there iaan unexpected bitch, tbe treaty will be aigned within a week. Tbe 'commiaaiona did not bold a joint session today. It waa ascertained at 2 p. m. that the preliminary clerical work waa not completed. It waa therefore agreed by tbe presidents to defer tbe next meeting until 2 o'clock tomorrow afternoon Advices from the Philippine ialanda aay the insurgents mere have decided not to recognize the cession of tbe ialanda to the United Stales and that they will resist to tbe last. It ia also claimed that tbe United Statea will require 70,000 troopa to put down the rebellion, and it ia alleged tbat the insurgents bold 10,000 Spaniah prisoners whom they will force to serve against the Ameri cana. THE TRUE REMEDY For The Race Trubles Which Occur ia The South. If northern politicians and north* ern republicans deaire to know tbe true remedy for tbe race troublea in the couth, they can discover it. It liea on the aurface. It consists in their abstaining from encouraging and stimulating them. If they will stop giving aid and countenance to the low white scalawags and carpet-bag* gers in the south, who make it their business to poison tbe minds of ne groes againet tbe whites, northern friends of tbe negro will have no oc* casion tor further solicitude about him. Republican fanatics, sentimental and unscrupulous politicians are responsi ble for every collision between the races in the south —Baltimore Sun. This is all true, but then the repub lican aspirants to the presidency who depend upon the negro vote in the national convention for a nomination are to blame more than the dirty low white scalawag and carpet baggers of the south. This is tbe whole secret ol tbe trouble. The negroes of Georgia, though unable to give one single vote in the electoral college, are allowed the same representation in the nomi nating convention, tbe body tbat really makes the president, as tbe whites of lowa, and more than tbe whites of New Jersey or of Maine or Wisconsin. And it is for this farce of misrepre* sentation that tbe negro in tbe south is to be flattered, cajoled and bought by the northern republican leaders. It was the southern negroes in na tional convention that shivered into atoms John Sherman’s life long ambi tion. It was tbe Georgia negroes tbat turned Tom Reed down and destroyed bis hopes and chances for tbe presi dency. It is true it took several barrels of money to buy them but they counted as much as anybody when bought. If the northern people, as the Sun intimates, are really in earnest in their solicitude about tbe race troubles and want to slop them, they will stop this farce of negro representation in their national conventions. This they can do by basing repre sented in in the convention upon the republican vote of tbe state and not upon the number of representatives in congress —Rome Tribune.

OFF FOB CUBA. The Transport Manitoba Sails From Savannah With 4th Tennessee. Washington, Dec. 1 —Major Gen oral Lee, commanding al Savannah, has telegraphed the war department as follows, respecting the departure of transports Manitoba and Cheater to day, with'troops aboard for Cnba: “Manitoba, with General Snyder and the Fourth Tennessee, cleared here at 8 :45 thia morning. “Chester, with tbe Fifteenth infan try, left her anchorage six miles below the city about the same hour, and is probably now on top of the sea sailing for Cnba. She might- have been at tbe bottom of il bad she gone out the day she started. Panama still here.” y—. Southern jCotton Mills- The New York'..Commercial, com menting upon tbsfeotton mill situa tion, says: » “Reckoned on their purchasing pow er, the wages paid at southern mills are as high as those paid in New Eng land. This goes to prove tbe conten tion ol the Commercial tbat climate has much to do with cost of produc tion, differences in skill and machin ery being sure of early elimination, if they alone stand between the producer and hie command of a given market. Os course, it should go without saying that with equality in skill and ma chinery in tbe two sections tbe pro duct of the Northern factory can never compete in cheapness with that of the Southern Tbe competition betwean tbe North and South in many lines of manufacture is getting stronger and stronger, and tbe lines in which com petition exits are becoming more and more numerous. There seems to be little reason to doubt that it will spread to every article of manufacture and only stop with this or that product of tbe soil toward which tbe climate of tbe South is unfavorable, and there can be no doubt whatever of the finaj result. “It may be many years first, but tbe time must come when tbe South will be the center of all cotton manufactur ing and of much of the agricultural production of the United Slates. But it will only be tbe center, for its area and population will never be great enough to do all tbe producing tor tbe rest of tbe country, and so the produc live function will overflow from its center, and, in many directions, reach even the remote bounds of tbe present United States. Migration of labor and capital will gradually set toward the south, because of the cheaper area of production, and from tbat center it will back up and solidify in all direc tions. This process will be so gradual that it ia to be hoped our people will escape the distress which would come from any sudden change in the pro ducing center, and the end will be a symmetrical and logical development of tbe whole industrial system of tbe country, in the happy economies of which all will share.” Os course our glorious climate must count as a considerable factor in the future upbuilding of tbe cotton mill interest in the south. The good con dition of tbe military camps which have been established south of the Tennessee line demonstrates how much people who come south may gain by being relieved of the dangers and distresses of a too rigorous cli mate. The New England Mills may reduce wages as much as they may choose in order to meet Southern com petition, but at tbe last our more con genial climate, together with the fact tbat the mills may be established in sight of the cotton fields., is bound to count to our everlasting advantage A Narrow Escape.

CABH4RTPMCI A Marriage That Will Prove a Sur prise to All- Last night at 7:30 o’clock, Col W, D. Carhart and Miss Leila Price, ol Clayton, Ala, were united io mar riage, Rev. E W. Hammond official* ing Miss Price has been in this city for several days visiting Mies Lois Hud son, and although Col. Carhart has paid her msrked attention, the an nouncement of their marriage will prove a surprise to their many friends throughout Georgia and Alabama. Colonel Carhart is one of the rising attorneys of Griffin, apd in in every respect worthy of the beantiful and accomplished woman be now claims as hie bride. The Call joins a host of friends in wishing for the young couple a long and happy life. Dewey and the Philippines- The Secretary of the Navy has re commended in bis annual report tbat the grade of admiral be revived in or der tbat it may be conferred on Rear Admiral Dewey, and tbe newspapers throughout the country appear to favor the recommendation. The whole country is proud of Admiral Dewey. His victory at Manila was a remarkable one It was not only a tremendous factor in bringing the war with Spain to a speedy end, but it has given the United States possession ol the Philippines, a vast territory con taining between 8,000,000 and 10,000,- 000 inhabitants. But would be not have Served bis country better if he had left Manila as soon as he had de etroyed the Spanish ships and forts there? That is a question tbat is cer tain to receive a great deal of atten tion before the treaty of peace is rati fied. Attention ia alrongly directed to this matter by the remark of Judge Day, the chairman of our peace com missioners, made immediately After the Spanish commissioners bad agreed to cede to thiacountry tbe Philippines. The remark, as stated in our foreign dispatches, was as follows: “We have done tbe only thing possible regarding the Philippines. Our opportunity of giving them up was lost when Admi ral Dewey did not weigh anchor and sail away.” This remark indicates tbat tbe President and bis cabinet would have been glad if Admiral Dewey had sail ed away as soon as be bad done what be bad been directed to do. He bad been commanded, it will be remem bered, to find and destroy tbe Spanish fleet in Asiatic waters. Judge Day was Secretary of State at tbe time of the battle of Manila, and, of course, knows what the feeling in tbe cabinet in respect to tbe matter was. But what was to binder tbe President from ordering Admiral Dewey away from Manila as soon as cable communica tion with him was opened? . The re* mark of Judge Day seems to blame Admiral Dewey for not leaving Ma nila immediately alter tbe victory there, and it also seems to indicate tbat it was 100 late to order him away when it became possible to communi cate with him. To begin with, the islands will cost us $20,000 000, and tbe annual cost will be as much more probably, not taking into account tbe lives tbat will be sacrificed in establishing and main taining a government on the islands. Time alone will tell whether tbe vic tory, sweeping and great as it was, will not eventually prove to have been a dearly bought victory. In saying this, however, it doesn't follow tbat Admiral Dewey should not have all tbe honor that the govern* ment can confer upon him. He de serves all that his admiring fellow cit izens desire to bave conferred on him, because he won imperishable glory for the navy and his country. Whether or not it will turn out that the posses* sioo of the Philippines will prove of great benefit to tbe United States is a question that is entirely separate from Admiral Dewey's achievement in Ma nila bay —Savannah News.

Admiral Sampson, from being a victor at sea, has now developed a new glory io tbat be is the proprietor of the Mormon Mt. Binai. The recent death of Wilford Wood* ruff, the chief apostle ol Mormondom, has renewed the interest in tbe owns eiship of Mt. Sinai, near Palmyra, N, Y. Tbe mountain is locally known as Gold Bible Hill, and within its re cesses it is held tbat Joseph Smith discovered the mysterious plates which havsgiven to us the book of Mormon. As alholy place, the Mormons wished to secure it with tbe idea in mind of establishing pilgrimages to it. When they proceeded to look into tbe matter it was discovered tbat Ad miral Sampson bad become ita owner some time ago. The admiral stoutly refused to part with the bill for any such purpose, and hence tbe Mormons Will have to look upon it from afar, and await tbs time when it may come into their possession THE EXCELLENCE OF SYRUP OF FIGS is due not only to the originality and simplicity of the combination, but alao to the care and skill with which it is manufactured by scientific processes known to the California Fig Syrup Co. only, and we wish to impress upon all the importance of purchasing the true and original remedy.
