Co). Jack Brown declines to act
with the Whig Republican party of
Georgia so long as it draws the
color line as against his black

The Rochester Union puts the
ieene squarely before the public in
this way: “To paas the Morrison
MU is to reduco unnecessary and
oppressive taxation. To defeat that
Mil is to continuo unnecessary and
oppressive taxation.” That is the
tariff issue in tho nutshell, and
Democrats can cbooto for them'
selves on wbieb side of tho line to
fall, and tho pcoplo will remcml>cr
those members ol Congress who
vote to continue this oppressive
taxation.
The New York Herald says that
the announcement that Senator
Harrison, of Indiana, has become
an Active candidate for the presi
dency, means that Mr. Hlalno's
friends begin to teo that they can-
got nominate him, nnd therefore
liuiry Into the Held Ids next friend,
Senator Harrison. Tho Herald Is
of the opinion that Blaine’s noml
nation Is Impossible, but that ho
las two strings to his bow. If he
cannot bo president be would like
to l>o secretary of state and boss of
the president. Senator Harrison is
his man Friday. He ia one oftlio
few public men willing to play sec-
end Addle to Mr. Blaine, if by that
he may roanago himself to occupy
the white bouse.
MOUTH CAKOLlhA.
For tome time the moot exag
gerated reporta have been iu circu
lation aa to tho condition of the
people in many parts of South Caro
lina. These re|K>rls were sent to
northern newspapers and made it
appear that in aouie of the counties
tho people were ou lira verge of
starvation. Tho News and Courier,
with its characteristic enterprise,
has secured interview* and *| ecial
dispatches from the various sec
tions thus reported ami these re
ports show that in many cases such
a statement is wholly groundless
and in all the others grosidy exag
gerated. The lru< h of the ailuation
in South Carolina is that the state
is prosperous, and despite the fact
of a abort grain crop last year the
people have plenty to eat.

A BEAUTIFUL COUNTRY.
WHAT A CORRESPONDENT FOUND IN
THE SOUTH.
M. Quad, writing from Macon to
the Detroit. Free Press, says:
Let one spend a couple of boars
in almost any Southern cemetery
and he wilt be amazed al the num
ber of headstones erected in memoy
of old people. It seems as if three
out of Ave were over 80 years old
at the time of death, and it ia no*,
an unusual thing to And stone after
atone recording the age at 90 or
Upwards. The proportion of cbil*
dren's graves bears no comparison
witb our Northern ccmeterii-s. At
Augusta, where 1 had the curiosity
to make a count, I found that fo*
every person dying under 20 years
of age there were two who had lived
.o lie over 60. -For every child 1
under 12 there were three who had
passed 50. The climate shout
Macon is so genial that a winter
hotel there would always be Ailed
witb Northern people running away
from the rigors of our winters.
There is strong talk of erecting
such a hotel, anil a dozen Ane sites
are at band to select from. There
U no winter to speak of in a coun
try w icre peach tr*-cs blm-in the
last of Febuarv, and where every
garden vegetable is Gt for the table
before the North has her April
showers.
No Northern man should go
South expecting any vacancy in
mercantile lire, for he will And none.
The trade and traAic of the South
are peculiar to itself, and are better
lell to the people born and reared
there; but the South is to-day offer
ing such advantages in Trait and
truck raising, general agriculture
and manufacturing as should make
tnat country an El Dorado for all
seeking a change or an investment.
Any one acre of peach orchard or
vineyard aronnd Macon ia paying
more clear proAt than any twenty
ncrcs on any farm in tile North.
Fifty acres of Georgia farm will
make a large cash return for crops
raised and sold than any 100 acres
in the North. This statement can
bo proved a dozen times over, and
by Northern farmers who have
mads the change. Why any Michi
gan or Ohio furmcr will set liis face
towards the blizzard country to be
gin life over amid the snowdrifts
and long winters, when the Smith
oilers him so many more advanta
ges, is a matter of mystery.
The country around Macon is a
natural garden spot, and while the
soil is not extremely fertile, the
climate favors any cereal and almost
every fruit that can be grown in
tho North. Great quantities of
melons, peaches, pint's and berries
