A Lutheran preacher of eminence in
Berlin complained in a recent sermon that
one-third of the scholars in the higher
schools of that cap'tal are Jews, though
they form only 5 per cent, of the popula
tion.
—A Confederate soldier named Moore
crawled out under the fire of two armies
to give relief to awounded Union captain.
He recently received information at his
home in Arkansas, that the Captain had
bequeathed him $10,000.
—Brown, the valet of Queen Victoria,
advances steadily upward in his designa
tion. A few years ago he was called
‘•John Brown” in the lists, presently it
was altered by the Queen to “Mr.” and
subsequently Her Majesty struck this out

—The Cincinnati Commercial finds a
new name for Vanderbilt. It is “the
American Rothschild.” Vanderbilt owns
$51,000,000 worth of 4 per cent, govern

fourteenth of all in existence. ‘ •'
—Vienna is to have on the 15th a hril
liant equestrian fete. The imperial rid
ing school will be lit by electric lights and
the galleries hung with oriental tapestry.
There will be equestrian quadrilles, char
iot driving, and a grand procession of hun
ters, &c. The Empress is clearly out of
place on the throne. She is a bom circus
woman.
—The exploration of the Sahara Desert
with a view to the construction of a rail
way across it has fairly begun. Colonel
Flatter’s expedition left Wargla on the
4tli ult., on their soutnward march. In
addition to the leader, the party comprises
nine scientific officers and twelve French
soldiers, besides numerous camel drivers,
chiefly belonging to the Chambaas tribe.

free Labor will Double tho Prodm-
t 1 tion of Cotton.
It is said that N. P. Banks in 1860 pre-
diQted that free labor would one day
double the yield of qpjtpp. Comment
ing upon this the; ChronicleanfrCjinstitu-
tionalist is of‘the opinion that “at the
present rate of increase, free labor, before
1890, will probably make 10,000,000
bales.” This we think an extravagant
calculation. But there is no doubt that
the abolition of slavery has, both directly
and indirectly, increased the production
of cotton—
First, by diffusing and equalizing negro
labor all over the South.
When the emancipation edict wept into
effect, the slaves of the country were owned
by comparatively few land holders, and
hundreds of them were crowded upon a
single plantation. The baleful custom
also obtained of continuous cropping from
year to year until tixa. «a11 •—
pe longer remunerative. Then the pro-
New -York Polities,
Two opposition conventions were in ses
sion yesterday at Syracuse New Yoflrj
calling themselves Democratic State Con
ventions, and sqnibbing each other at
long range. One was a Tammany-Kelly
convention, and the other might have
been called a Tilden convention, hut for
the fact that one-half of the member?,
cheered, and the other half hissed the name
of Tilden, consequently the world
don’t know exactly what to call it.
The only sagacity displayed'hy these
fighting politicians was in choosing the
location. They pitched on Syracuse be
cause of the proximity of the salt mines.
They needed salt in vast quantities to
save the living and the dead, and put to
silence the ignorance of foolish men who
say that “salt won’t save ’em.” Tam
many, dead or alive, needed salt—a great
deal of it; and though “smelling-to
heaven”, with historical corruption,
charged on Tilden, through Kelley, as the
great faming national monster of corrup
tion, who got up the cipher dispatches
and falsified his income tax returns.
Whether Kelly ever paid his tax or not,
is not clear. It may be that he took more
out of the box than he ever put in it.
But the spectacle is- affecting. It will
affect the Southr-it will affect the,, whole
world outside of New York politics,
which is a world by itself.. Some gossips
say that all the good men in the Empire
State quit polity years ago, and, now
distinguish themselves by absence from ,a}l
political meetings ^and often - from the.
polls, and positively refusing r to nip for
office of any kind.
Parties have . been out a long -time
hunting down one of them, somewhere ia
the woods of Molir.wk—a ' man by the
name of Seymour—and have had several,
shots at him as an honest man, but he re
fuses to be captured. Four years ago they
captured Tilden as $n honest man and
particularly energetic reformer, .but now
Tammany, says it was all a huge mistake,
and lie is. not honest. Tilden was
stranger in the South, hut she took Til
den on the sole idea that he wa3 not only
honest himself, tut the very.mantoren-
force.t^iat quality on others. . N9W, if
Tilden is not honest, and won’t pay his
taxes, what are we going to do? Every
body knows that Tammany is not honest.
Tammany has been dishonest so long
that she could not possibly travel in a
straight road. It would make her dizzy.
The example New Jt ©rk Democracy,
so-called, sets to the ^barbarians. of. the
South and the’efluntry Is as befieffeent as
it is 1 cheering. It js well calculated to
light np the prospects of the Democratic
presidential campaign with k golden-lmed
prestige of success. “Mow ain’t it? ’’

of those -symmetrical characters which the

Her life has been so lovely, and her deeds
of kindness so numerous and her devotion

that even the worldling bowed his head

of that respect in which, this saintly wo

The Talbotton Railroad
A committee-of-gentlembn, embracing
the President, Captain S. W. Thomten
and Messrs; C. W. Kimbro and F. N.
Gibson, are in the city soliciting subscrip
tions to aid in building a broad gauge rail
road from Talbotton to No. 6 on the
Southwestern Railroad, distant seven
miles. They Lave met with considerable
encouragement, having booked $4,000 al
ready, and'wilf'contmue their efforts to
day. The whole of the Talbotton trade
centres in Macon, and our merchants are
greatly interested in the completion of
this road, which will bring hither the pro
ducts of a large radius of circumjacent
country, much of which now finds a mar
ket in Columbus. !]' .
The people of Talbot have subscribed
$35,000, which, with the amount, raised
here, makes a total of$39,(XXL
Sixty thousand dollars is all .that is
asked to make a success of the enterprise.
We trust our merchant princes.- and
patriotic capitalists will respond liberally
to the solicitations of these gentlemen,
and by tbeir timely aid, assure the speedy
construction of the road. That is the way
to build up Macon.
The Cby fob Cotton Seed.—From
all quarters of southern Georgia comes
the complaint that heavy packing rains,
succeeded by cool frosty weather, make it
highly probable that the stands of cotton
will be defective. Anotherreason for this
apprehension, is the fact that the long
continued spells of warm weather in

oughly dried before ginning, underwent a
heating process fatal to the germinating
principle. Much anxiety is felt, there

pressed.
“S. W. S./’ in his Washington corres
pondence with the Atlanta Constitution
under the head of “Our Foremost Man,”
thus speaks of our immediate representa
tive, Hon, James H. Blount:
I know of nothing which ought sooner
disgust a man with public life than to
have all his best and most zealous endeav
ors fall 6till-bom upon his own people.
While a statesman may not desire flattery
or praise unduly bestowed, yet there is
nothing that should he more welcome to
hjm than honest appreciation of his la
bors. I have been singularly impressed
with the inattention of the press and peo
ple of Georgia to the efforts of one of our
delegation who is to-day our very fore
most man in the House of Representa
tives. I refer.to Hon. J. H. Blount, of
the sixth district. He does not belong in
my bailiwick, and there was a time when
I might have winked at a slnr of indiffer
ence in connection with his congressional
career. But, since Congress as
sembled in December last,
have been a watchfal spectator
his acts and influence in- the house,
have been astonished at'the power he
wields, and at the potency of his endeav
ors in whatsoever direction they may tend.
As second man on the committee on ap
propriations, at once the most important
and best abused committee of Congress,
he has been called upon to do arduous du
ty this session. The illness^of Chairman
Atkins brought him prominently to the
fore as the director-general of the fights
over the appropriations. He has conduc
ted them with such skill, dash and .suc
cess as to win for himself the most exal
ted compliments from men *f both par
ties. I speak with knowledge when I
say that Republicans and Democrats alike
ceincede that he has won the honors of the
session, and made more char
acter •' as an ’"' able and trust
worthy leader ‘than any man in
the present Congress. Mr. Garfield, the
present leader of the Republican side, pro
nounces Blount one of the best tacticians
and sturdiest opponents the Democrats
have famished in many Congresses. He
h^s labored diligently night and day. His
work is important. It affects the purse of
the people, and yet few of them under
stand how brave and honest a man is
needed in the place which Blount has oc
cupied.-He stands, pre-eminent in this
Congress as the guardian of the treasury
and aS'the advocate of the right of the
people to hold the purse of the govern
ment, He has the confidence of the House
and the country, and Georgians should be
iroud of one who has risen to the fame
iff now enjoys. He is one of the worthiest
sons of his worthy mother state.
“S. W. S.” is mistaken, however, in the
opinion that the constituents of'Col.
Blount and the people of Georgia do not
properly appreciate his services. On the
contrary* by his devotion to the interests
of cur'city and section he has won golden
opinions on every side. The introduction
of the post delivery system in Macon, the
establishment of United States District
Courts at this central point of the State,
the bill to erect a suitable Government
building for the accommodation of the
Circuit Court and post-office, and the pro
curement of arms for the cadets of the
Milledgeville branch of the State Agricul
tural college were mainly due to his per
sonal zeal and address; and this is grate
fully acknowledged by all. The distin
