IH E FDtCRE OF THE SOUTH. I . Henry w,rd B ** lh,r Tnlnki I «#'* H,U T „f|C. uev. Henry Ward Beecher T b J ft lecture in Atlanta laBt “evolution." He had a e ek . , i.aiisp. While he was in i e( l bouse. *tuuo I CT ° he was interviewed by Atlanta t(ie Constitution, and "fasted his opinion about men ^i tbinss without reserve.

I of it with .nv own eves that per- ., n9 1 should leave the statement of its advantages to others. ‘ffhat direction will Southern pr °Tbe'building up of its manufac lor 'e» first. Money always seeks profitable investment 1 find many ttroiiressive men of the South, who five the cars of Northern capital- ist , anil have secured a large influx of money, the result of which can L seen in Atlanta, Birmingham and Chattanooga. In time this draws population. The South, though the richest portion of our national heritage, was walled in by lavcry, in contact with whicn free uhor could not come without de grading itself. The hardy peasan- , P rv of Europe who sought our shores, did so with the view of bet tering their condition. Consequent ly they would not go near the slave line, take Mississippi, for instance. There is a State blessed by nature, fortified by human inventive genius and made attractive by wealth, the natural centre of the United States. Her lands, her minerals, all were inviting. Yet the great flood of emigration rolled over it and kept on until Kansas was reached,where labor was the treeman’s heiitage, and the community was not weight ed down by an incubus from the barbarous age. But the events of the last twenty years have changed all this, and the incoming of the present administration has set in motion a new era in which the South will play an important part.” Four years ago,” said Mr. Beecher, after a pause, “when the Garfield campaign wa9 in progress, 1 said to my people that I hoped to see the day when I might vote for a Southern man for President. What was then a wild dream has now come to reality. There arc Southern men now before the pub lie—Democrats—whom I would vote for to place in the Presidential chair. I have no names to olfer— it is too early’ to name men for the next race, and many things may happen in four }ears to change the drift ol public opinion—but if the election were to take placo to-day, under present influences, there arc Southern men who would he thought of in the North far the Presidency.” “What are the prospects of the Democratic administration and its continuance in power?" "Conducting the government on the high plane which Mr. Cteve- has marked out for it, a hearty adherence to the principles of the civil service law, giving the coun try peace and prosperity, there is no reason why it should not have half a dozen terms in the Presi dency. The worse danger that could befall the Democracy now would he the removal of Cleveland. The accession of Hendricks, rep resenting the ultra bourbon Bern ocracy, disposing of the ofllces as rewards for political services, would throw the country back and recall Republicanism back into favor. The conduct of the South during the last two weeks has been remarkably heroic. With the Presidency in its possession, it has not hampered him by pleading lor ollice, but bus stood by in a J. dignified mannei and allowed him to shape allairs in his own wsy. The President’s plan is to fill the responsible bureau chief- ships with representative Southern men, such men ns have influence it home, and whose appointment will have more Influence than a hundred clerks. The enforcement of the civil service rules will not destroy party organization. The men who fill the ofllces are but barnacles who really do nothing for party success, are noisy, and have little influence at home. If some men who do not get into ollice are disappointed thereat,and threaten to kiok out of party traces, those who keep in ofllce *! htocome Democrats, thus time will make all this even. Besides what are ofllce holders, when set ?P*8*'n»t sixty million people? *: Cleveland adheres to civil ser ies, he will be re-eleoted to the residency—he does not want it; • ut lll( e many other men he is will- e to serve hts country.” ,. K * , erring to the negro problem, “• “eecher regarded it as settled. The war went through the South *'“ e a P* ou 8h through a prairie fleld, turning over the turf of so ciety with the whites under and the blacks on top. It was a terri ble state of affairs; which the Southern people endured with a heroism unequalled in history. That they deported themselves so well then proves that they are equal to the problems ot the future. The future of the races will he controlled by education. uekebal hiust. His Condition Approaching the Fat.il Crlala, New York, March 30 The phy sicians in attendance upon General Grant were at bis house late last night and have not yet (2 a. m.) issued the nightly bulletin. The General is supposed to oe worse. A LATER BULLETIN. The usual weekly consultation of General Grant’s condition was held to-day. Dictora Barker, Sands, Shrady and Douglas were present. The irritation of the nerves, which had produced a train of symptoms which had induced the family to send for the physicians last night, bad been relieved so that the gen eral had a sleep of four hours, from three to Beven, and nnps of more or less duration during the morn ing making seven or eight hours’ sleep during the last twenty-four. The general presented at the con sultation a much improved appear ance to-night. He was free from pain and reasonably free from the annoying discharge which had troii bled the family iast night. A Hood Man Tor Berne. At the late meeting of the Geor gia Press Association at Bain- bridge the following proceedings in interest of Editor J. L, Underwood, of the South Georgia Clarion, were had. Editor T. L. Gannt, ot the Athens Banner-Watchman, offered the following resolution,which was unanimously adopted: ThU Association learns with pleasure that the name of our brother member, Editor J. L. Un derwood, will be presented to the Slate Department of the United States Government for appoint ment as Minister to Switzerland. Mr. Underwood is well-known to us as a gentleman of business ca pacity, culture and refinement. He is weil versed in the politice of this country and of Europe. He resid ed and studied for a long time in Europe and is well acquainted with its people and its languages. There fore he it Resolved, That we unanimously and heartily recommend Mr., Un derwood for the above named diplomatic position, or one ol equal grade; and we will use our influence to secure his appointment, knowing him to be in every respect fitted for (he high and responsible posi tion; and that we urge our Senators and Hepresentativcs in Congress to make every effort in their power to bring the claims of Mr. Under wood before the President and Secretary oi State. How He Struck It Very Rich. Mr. J. B. Franz, proprietor of the St. James’ Hotel, Mansfield, 0., is in luck on account of the purchase of a ticket in the Louis iana State Lottery. Several weeks since Mr. Franz, who has previous ly drawn small sums in the lottery, I invested in one whole ticket and | five one-fifth tickets, paying $10 for the same. Yesterday (Feb. 10tb,) the drawing took place and Mr. Franz received a telegram notifying him that his whole ticket had drawn $6,000 in cash, which sum is subject to his order.— Mansfield (Obio)Liberal, Feb. 11. Rumor says that a project is on foot t* establish a line of coaches between Tallahassee and Tbomas- ville, for the purpose of transport ing passengers and the mails. An effort is being made to organize a joint stock company to purchase elegant coaches and a sufficient number ot fine horses to have a relay every eight miles, and make the trip between the two cities in about five hours. With this line established parties leaving Talla hassee after breakfast would take dinner in Thomasville, supper in Savannah, And reach New York next evening — about thirty-six hours from Tallahassee to New York. And vice versa, parties leaving Now York in the morning would arrive at Tallahassee the next evening. Should this line be es tablished it would receive the con tract to carry the mails, as it would take them through several hours in advance of any other route. Mr. Phelps, the newly appointed Minister to England, has a brother in Washington who is a clerk in one ol the departments. A niece, also, is employed in the War De partment.

In the Province of Ecquador, South America, is said that the fin est potatoes in the world are grown. The climate there is usually about 80 degrees, and varies but few over or under during the entire year. The climate of Georgia is natur ally too wArm for the potatoes, but by planting about the twentieth of June they mature in September and October, when the climate is about the right temperature. Mulching with leaves or other substances, serves the double purpose of keep ing the ground moist and cool. Hence, by planting in midsummer, with the aid of mulching, an artifi cial temperature of about the right degree can be attained. Potatoes thus grown are inclined to be round, smooth, free from protuberances and better every way than those grown without mulching in a cli mate that is naturally too warm lor them, tp say nothing of the largely increased quantity that can be grown where the conditions are la- vorable. The Swift Manufacturing Com pany of Columbus has just com pleted three bed spreads mado of silk, costing $12o each. They will be Bent to the Now Orleans Expo- sition. To give an idea of the amount of labor and skill by which these goods are made would per haps be difficult. In the first place, a card boird 800 feet long and 18 inches wide is used in mak ing the design, and it is neccessary to make 1,198.680 holes in the card board In doing this. It takes 45,840 yards of silk for the warp, while the filling consumes 262,007 yards of the same material. In weaving the spreads, then, it re quires 1,198.080 movements and aa mans changea in the harness. There are 2,640 iron weights to pull down the threads, and the Hftiuc number of cords in the bar- ueu l.. lilt the weights. The weaver finds it necessary to throw the shuttle back and forth 12,000 times in making a spread. Pretty Women.
