- THE CASH MERCHANTS,!—
Btafl Corr. spondent of Augusta Chronicle. |
I called on Senator Hill recent
ly. lie Ims all tlio glands on tbe
left side of the throat removed, an
operation which was painlessly
performed; thanks to the blessed
discovery of ether. Ills hopes are
that the diaeaso has been eradica
ted from the tongue^uid that it will
not appear again In the throat.
But he is a man of nerve, and not
disposed to eonccul from himself
or friends the doubtful character
of his complaint. He says; “If I
recover, it is well. If I die, it is
also well. While I think it strange
that a man whose constitution was
formed by physical laboron a farm,
and who. up to a year ago, never
had a day of ill-health, should he
afflicted with an inexplicable dis
order of the blood, 1 resign myself
into tbe hands of my Creator, who
will do with me what poems bust to
Him, and either raise me up for
further usefulness or summon me
away. 1 await with patience cith
er ovent."
While it is true that Mr. Hill
Duw-ros. rffluTiw of mo k e s no complaint- of his bodily
suffering, his mind, never more
brilliant or suggestive, chafes
against restrainst, and he has to be
cheeked by bis devoted wife when
some animated theme spurs him to
copious and eloquent utterance. lie
welcomes the visits of his friends
and insists upon earnest conversa
tion, hut I am not so sure that this
exertion is bcnclicial to him. He
is like a caged lion, and regrets
that he oouid not have participa
ted in recent senatorial debates.
He is full of a speech on tho politi
cal condition of Virginia. “It
ought to made,” he says, “but I
do not know whether I will ho able
to makoit or not.” I told him that
tbe republican congress expressed
much sympathy lor him, and he
smiled when 1 repeated what one
of'tbe stalwarts bad said in ray
presence. It was to the effect that
Nature could show no stranger
paradox when sparing the tongue
of a mopt offensivo babbler (I omit
the name), mul making war on the
most eloquent tdnguc In the United
States. The doctors who have had
Mr. Hill in charge, express the
opinion that his tongue is proba
bly secure from further disaster.
They aiso.think the wound in ids
throat will heal healthily, and that
the chances are greatly in favor ol
a gradual and pcrniandnt cure.
But Mr. Hill has all along insisted
upon the frankest statement, and,
from the beginning, assured Dr.
Gross that he could enduro even n
death sentence from Ids lips with
out flinching. It was inexpressi
bly pathetic to see so much Intel
luctual and physical power held in
suspense. But it was also a grand
sight to behold the strong man
reverently surrendering bis will to
that of God, and content to abide
the best or worst result. Hu is
missed from the senate by every-
body, and tberu will be general re
joicing when Mr. Frye sball have
no further reason to say, as ho is
called upon to vote; “I am paired
with the senator from Georgia, Mr.
Hill,” and when “our Ben,” along
side of Senator Brown, can answer
for bimselt andpGcorgiu.

A Beautiful Indian Legend.
The legend of the Cherokee rose
is as pretty as the flower itself. An
Indian chief oftlic Seminole tribe
was taken prisoner by his enemies,
the Cherokecs, and doomed to tor
ture, but became so seriously ill
that it became necessary to wait
for bis restoration to health before
committing him to tbc lire. And
as bo lay prostrate by disease in
the cabin of tbc Cherokee warrior,
the daughter of the latter, a young
. dnrk-fnced maid, was bis nurse.
IQUORV . She fell in love with young chief-
''J i tain, ami wishing to save his life,

BOTIOW
House llnllt or Cotton.
Coluniea and India.
Of all substances apparently the
least likely to he used in tho con
struction of a fireproof building,
cotton would, perhaps, take tho
first rank and paper the second;
and yet both these materials are ac
tually being employed for tho pur
pose indicated, and their use will
probably extend. Compressed nn-
per pulp is successfully UBed in the
manufacture of doors, wall panuel-
ings ami for other purposes, with
the result that all risk of wntping
and cracking is obvinted, while
increased lightness is attained anti
tho fear ol dry rot is forever ban
ished.' l’apiermaeho, alter having
served a useful purpose in au un-
obstructive manner for years as a
material for small trays, paper
knives and other such light arti
cles, has now suddenly assumed a
still more important position in the
industrial world. A still more sud
den and striking advnncc has boon
made in the employment of cotton
as n building material. A prepa
ration called celluloid, in which
cotton is a leading ingredient, lias
been used lately ns n substitute for
ivory in the manufacture of such
articles as billiard balls apd paper
onttors, and now n Canadiun manu
facturer boa invented a process by
whicj) compressed cotton may lie
used", not merely for doors and
window frames, but for tho wholo
facade of large buildings. The cnor-
mows and increasing demand for
tiie paper for its normal use as
printing and writing material pre
vent the extended use of papier-
mache as a building material, for
which it is as well suited in
many ways; but tbe production
cotton is practically unlimited, and
there seems to be a largo field avail
able for its use in its now capacity
as a substitute for bricks—or at
least plaster—and wood. Treated
with certain chemicals and com
prcssctl it can be made perfectly
fireproof and ns hard as stone, ab
solutely air and damp proof; and
a material is thus produced admi
rably adapted for tbc lining—inter-
mil—of buildings ofwhichtbe shell
may or may not bo constructed of
other material, while it easily lend*
itself to decorative purposes.

The Protrctlre Policy.
Journals that have been bowl
ing about protection from Ameri
can industries, will do well to read
the following facts, which have
been compiled by the Vincennes
(Ind ) Aetna:
Very few persons realize the en
ormous tax they are compelled to
pay in consequence of this so-call
ed protective policy, of the United
States.
From statistics within our reach
we find that the pcoplo of the
United Stales use about $20,000-
000 of blankets annually. Tbe
duty on these blankets, if imported,
amounts to about 86 per cent, of
what thny would cost freoofduty.
Hence in buying a blanket near
ly half wo pay for it is tax. In
other words we pay each year
$10,762,668 for blankets and $7,-
247,812 to tbe manufactures as
tax, which we would not have to
pay were there no duty.
On this amount of taxes tbe
government in 1879 got $1,233,
that boing the amount of duty col
lccted on imported blankets:
Again in the matter of cotton
fabrics.
Tbc home productions for cot
ton fabrics for 1879 it is put down
by a good statistician at $350,000,
000.
Allowing that competition re
duces this one-tbfrd, wo still And
that tbe American pcoplo pay to
tbe manufactures $87,500,000.
The government now gets a
revenue of $6,577,000on the cotton
goods imported.
Thus it goes all tbe way through.
From the same source from which
the above figures come we learn
that tho pcoplo pay to the manu
facturers {of woolen goods overy
year $124,620,6od.
Tbe government gets $10,868,-
860 as tariff on this class of goods,
which tiie consumers also pay.
On pig iron we pay Pennsyl
vania manufactures a tax of $16,-
108,505 yearly; to tbe Government
only $613,032.
On steel rails wo pny an annual
tax of $13,994,876, of which the
Government gets $72,649.
Thus on these four or flvo classes
of goods tbe people of tbe United
States pay a tax of $259,138,004
each year, being nearly half what
they pay Tor the articles themselves,
while of this sum tho government
gets but littlo over $34,000,000.
And why pny this stupendous
tax ?
It is tiie farmer and laboring
niau, every person who bays a
dow or harrow, or implement with
ron in it; every person who buys
a yard of calico or muslin, a coat
or hat, every man who sells a
bushel of grain, or sends a drove
of hogs to market, pays a part of •
it in the Increased rate of freight

The Savannah News, in a long

to nominate a Southern Democrat

Opelika’s Election.
Koqalrtr 8on.
From a gentleman who came
over from Opelika last night, we
learn that considerable excitement
prevails there over the result of
the municipal election, which wan
held on Tuesday. It to genenUy
understood,he says,thattho Mends
of Col. R. J. Trammell, the defeat
ed candidate for mayor, wilt owe
him to contest tho election. He
also states that the colored voter
was in great demand, and before
the closing of tbe polls was able to
sell bis voto from five to as high as
twenty-five dollars.
