THE TIMES PUBLISHING COMPANY, Americus, Ga. Americas, Ga., Juno 17, 1801. Monday is said to have been the hot test June day iu eight years, the ther mometer ranging from ninety to ninety- eight degrees in the cities of the middle and eastern states. n ifhJktfi. r a fa^Fhard'to realize, thatfwit' tiOO miles of Georgia there exist* a des potism as absolute as that of Russia, where scenes may bo witnessed that rival the most bloody orgies witnessed by travelers In Africa. The ruler of Hayti is as bloodthirsty a tyrant as was Nero or Caligula His subjects seem to stand in abject fear of him, and those who incur bis displeasure he causes to be shot down like dogs In the streets. Between May 28 and June 1 there oc curred at Port-au-Prince a massacre rivaling that of St. Bartholomew. N’t less than three hundred defenseless citi zens were shot and left lying in the streets as a warning to others. And ac cording to the last reports the bloody work was not ended. The people of the United States have but a faint conception of the barbae ism that exists in the wretched little coun try called Hayti. The negro race has there been afforded an opportunity of showing Its capacity for self-govern ment, after having an opportunity to copy after the whites, and how have they used it? Instead of benelHting Un freedom and independence they have reverted to a condition hardly superior Savannah will remain headquarters for the Central division of the Terminal ■yitem, and the people of that city breathe easier since the announcement has been made. Mr. V. E. McBee has been appointed general superintendent, in which position he succeeds Mr. Cecil Gabbett, who has been acting as general manager, since the deal went into effect* De LKBAEI's is to be prosecuted by the J to that of their ancestors wheu they French stockholders of the collapsed were landed from slave ships on the Panama canal scheme because he failed i island. They practice the same heatheu of success. Wouldn’t it be fair and just - voudoo rites as do the savages of Africi to offset his great Buez canal success I and their general condition would be against his Panama failure and let the ! that of African savages, but for the fact old man alone? Americans would he that they are more dependent for sub more generous. When they risk and J sistence on cultivation of the soil lose they stand it like men aud try iti It is very evident that people of the attain. ! African race, even after being long asso I ciated with the whites, are not capable of organized government when left to .... . | themselves. They are easily brought Southern Press Azzociatlun for a con certed movement in all the town, and cltlea of the south to raise a fund for the erection of a monument In honor of Jef ferson Davis. Gen. J. 1). Gordon, commander of the United Con federate Veterans’ Association, has issued the following bulletin: “What ever funds may be raised through your efforts on Thursday, the 18th, for the proposed monument to Jefferson Davis, can be deposited in local banks there to remain until required by the proper authorities thereafter.' IL- Bxjr Him., Jk„ has for some time ' been writing a life of bis illustrious father, and some extracts from the ad vance sheets ju^t published, are causing some atir by reason of their criticism of Senator Joe Brown, the political rival of Senator Hill. Tlirse extracts contain parallels between the lives and charac tern of the two great southerners and a general review of their records from the time that they became antagonists in the political arena before the war. Mr. Hill claims to criticize Senator Brown only (n so far as is necessary to do justice to the truth of history concerning Senator Hill, whose lack of judgment was first announced by your Uncle Joseph him self. The latter refuses to reply to the criticisms of Mr. ,Hill, stating that the verdict of biitory it already matte up. A special to the Constitution from Montgomery, Ala., aays: “Evidences are accumulating that Governor Hill Is gaining control of the affections of the people of this state. Alabama has been, perhaps,'the strongest and moat pro nounced Cleveland state In the south. Even after the star of the ex-president had waned so low that but few clung to him, still Alabama was firmly wedded to bis fortunes." The efforts of the Constitution to create a Hill boom in Georgia ahonld not lead that astute jiirnal to overlook the fact that what ever be Gov. Hill’s strength and popu larity, in New York and elsewhere, he Is as yet a mere pigmy beside the ex president While Mr. Cleveland has some strong opposition in the rsnks of ths New York democracy, the general feeling in that state seems to be that in ■pita of his failings he is by odds the strongest man the democrats can nomi nate and can and will win the election and be the next president of the United States. [ under the contnd of cunniug priests and hold leaders, who easily acquire a des potic sway over them. It is the good fortune of the negroes in the southern states that they are associated, and the same association serves to educate them and to incite some ambition in them. The climate also exerts a beneficial in fluence by compelling thorn to load in dustrious lives, instead of allowing them to take their ease miller tho shade of food-hearing trees. As to the political condition of Hayti it seems that matters have readied such a pass that enlightened nations should interfere, even If they have to subjugate the island, or that portion of it that is controlled by the blacks. It is now in a condition little better than that of the interior of Africa, which lias been so cooty appropriated by European conn tries. As the United States lias had no share in tho partitioning of Africa, it is no more than her duo that she should he allowed to tako possession of Hayti. That would put a stop to tho barbarous practices now witnessed there. The civilizing of barbarous countries is the manifest mission of tho white race. Hayti lias become a reproacli to the civilizing tendoncy of tile ago. hot the United States send a white minister to Hayti, then acquire by purchase that long desired coaling station, and then tho whole island can bo brought tinder our control and civilization restored to it. IS RETALIATION. It I* understood that the United States minister to Italy, Porter, haa left Borne, and it la very doubtful whether lie will ever return egaln. When the Irascible Baron Fava was withdrawn from Washington under Premier Budinl’e orders by way of em phasizing Italy’s resentment at the coarse of the United States in the New Orleans affair, it waa believed that after a second thought Italy would Bend 1dm or some other minister back agalu. But as Italy reams to be disposed to keep up her pouting, It Is stated that President Harrison has directed Minister Porter to leave that country, and it is believed he will not bn sent back until Italy con cludes to again send a representative to oar national capital. Fava’s recall, under the circumstances, waa nothing more nor lees than a grave threat, and since King llnmbert end •Riullnl have seen lit to keep in the dumps. It Is nothing but right and proper that the American minister ahoald be recalled until Italy gets in a good btunor. This Is as Uttle as Uncle Bern could do, to notify Italy that neither her blus ter nor threats can intimidate him. If Italy can get along without intercourse with the United States, certainly we can exist, and, perhaps, he happy without her—certainly without any of her expa triated cut-throats aud assassins as rep- rassnted by the Mali*. 1 OKOKUIA COLONKLS.

Blaine In fact, thcro are some evidences that they havo pooled their issues, so to speak. Alger announces himself boldly iu favor of Blaine as the next nominee of the republican party, and Mr. Blaine Is known to he very friendly to the General. They are said to have been coquetting of late In many little ways. This is significant. It may mean noth Ing, but it may mean much. They are botli shrewd, calculating men. There other two men in the republican party that have more lu-aius than Blaine and Alger. Blaine will have a very eigtity following in the convention and Gen. Alger has lots of money and friends. It will readily he seen what a strong combination these tw-o men can make. Should Blaine throw- his strength to Alger, or Alger to Blaine, it. may turn the tide iu favor of either. It would he a fatal combination against Harrison, and a combine tiiat would place a morn formidable candidate in the Held against the democrats titan Harrison would make.. Eitherlilalue Alger, in our opinion, would he a harder man to defeat than the present, adminis tration. Blaine is the popular idol of his party and is much stronger to-day than when he ran against Cleveland in 18*4. Alger is a strongman. He is immensely pop ular with the Grand Army of the Re public and tho solid friend of the im mense army of pensioners. If lie and Blaine have formed a combine, keep your eye on tho great duo, for something interesting is going to happen. BEALL & OAKLEY. BARGAINS! A Fit AID OF TIIK RESULTS. Upon returning to Kansas from tho Cincinnati convention tho leaders of the third party movoment issued a circular, which was Kent to the sub-alliancca throughout the state, requesting them to give an expression of their opinion of the work done by tho convention. About fifty sub-alliances havo been heard from, and here la.i sample of thoir replieH : Whereas^ The south whm not tepresented In theCincinnati convention; anti, wherea believe a third party will ditirupt the repub lican party to the benefit of the democratic party; therefore be It IteMoIved, That we abandon the third party to return to our pant alHilntion.
