third-termers did not feel assured that
Tilden would be nominated at Cincin

by about 10,000,000.
—The business of whaling in the vicin-

assumed large dimensions of late. Eigh
teen whales were killed outside the har

—It may not be generally known that
levees are necessary to preserve Sacramen
to from the danger of inundation. The
city lies in the focus of precipitous water

Knoxville Patents.—The Knoxville
■Vitiune says we saw yesterday in the
ands of Mr. A. Maxwell letters patent
isued by the government of Canada to
•eGroat & Maxwell, on their recent in-

lower and pump are essential attach-
ients of the engine, letters patent are re-
aired to be taken out on each. We have
ireiofore given a description of the en-

How a City Can be Ruined.
A writer in the San Francisco Califor
nian for May shows how easily a pros
perous city can be rained by yelping dem
agogues. In 1879, he says, the banking
capital and deposits of San Francisco were
reduced from twenty-four million's to nine
and a half. Ten banks failed. Real es
tate was everywhere unsaleable—capital
moved East. Armies of laborers, so-
called by courtesy, were wandering un-
employed about the streets clamoring for
work or bread. A great shrinkage in all
values took place, and society sunk into
the condition of a fitfully slumbering vol
cano. Kearney was but one expression
of the general disorder, which he traces to
Chinese labor—the railroads, and the in
difference of the higher classes to politics
and the polls.
Others will say that all these and oUier
ailments found at last a legal vent in the
form of a new State constitution, which is
in the nature of a great abscess or ulcer—
concentrating the once scattered maligni
ty, and overriding private, personal and
property rights under the insane notion of
benefiting the poor and tlie masses.
But if it were possible, the absolute se
curity of personal and property rights is
more vital to the poor than the rich. To
the rich the loss of these guarantees means
inconvenience and damage—to the poor it
means starvation. The rich man can pack
up and leave, but the poor must stay and
suffer.
When a community becomes disordered
and crippled by bad legislation and a
state of general insecurity, all tbe absolute
suffering falls on the poorer classes of the
community. The demagogue who fo
ments the discontent and disorder by ar
raying class interests against each other,
under the pretense of self protection, is a
cruel knave—cruel to capital, but more
cruel to labor. There is no more profit in
this moral and social war than there is in
a state of physical war. It is loss all
round; but in both the chief loss falls
on labor. Labor must do the bleeding
and suffering and starving.
Let everybody remember this fact—for
it is universal and invariable. Times of
confidence, security and consequent activ
ity are pre-eminently the times for labor.
Then labor is in demand. Times of dis
order are times of paralysis. Then there
is no demand for labor. It is a drug; and
yet we must all be fed and clothed.
The demagogue who stirs up strife be
tween labor and property interests under
the plea of championizing labor is, there
fore, an awful curse and pest. If he is
honest and conscientious, he is fatally
stupid; but in nine cases out of ten he
knows better. He is playing incendiary
to secure some small benefit to himself
out of the public ruin.
The true man is he who seeks to har
monize labor, property and social inter
ests, and bring them into active and har
monious co-operation for the common
good. Nothing hut disorder and ruin
come of conflict.
“The Impending Conflict.”
No man of ordinary intelligence need
•be told that all the Blaineism and Slicr-
manism which will be mustered in Chica
go from the Southern States in the persons
of delegates to the convention, is an abso
lute, total, remorseless and inexcusable
misrepresentation of party sentiment in
this section. The colored population,
which makes np the party here, as amass,
can Veatferliut '(‘franL The Blaine dele
gates and Sherman delegates from this
section are, therefore, all base counter
feits, so far as their representative charac
ter is concerned. They arc as bogus a3 a
brass gold piece—an impudent pretense—
foisted on the convention in tbe interests
of popular misrepresentation—like a false
count, a stuffed ballot, or the manipula
tions of a retuming’board.
And how is this bogus representation
secured? By bribery—not, perhaps, by
money in hand paid, the receipt whereof is
acknowledged, but by other promises and
schemes Sf personal gain:
And these operations in the Southern
States have their counterpart in the North,
A snap judgment in behalf of Grant has
notably been taken in the great States of
New York and Pennsylvania, under the
injustice of which the friends of Blaine
writhe.
These facts disclose the prospects in
Chicago. The Republican papers are fond
of allusions to Tilden’s “bar’l,” but if the
rival fuglemen of Grant and Blaine have
not exhausted their barrels already, when
they meet in dread encounter in Chicago
on the 2d of June next, money will not
be lacking to correct misrepresentation or
rivet a baigain. A scene of intrigue
and bribery will open which has never
yet been displayed on the American
continent.
The third term leaders put Grant for
ward as a man who will not accept defeat
attheballot box, no matter how the votes
go. It is, therefore, not unbefitting. the
conclusion of the programme, that he
should begin the race as the nominee of
bribed delegates, although, as we believe,
as to tli.'i s.iction, they will be bribed to do
their plain duty as fair representatives of
the colored Republicans of the Southern
States.

The Co-operative Dress Society.—
Miss Kate Field seems to have met with
much encouragement in her laudable ef
fort to establish a co-operative dress society
fa New York. A number of well-known
ladies have “taken hold,” and tha results
thus for are very gratifying. The capital
stock of the company is $250,000, divided
into 10,000 shares of $25 each. Tho as
sociation is modelled after one which is in
successful operation in London, and its
object as stated in the prospectus, is to es
tablish a co-operative store, well stocked
with ladies’ and children’s dress goods,
millinery, &c,, and to make up not only
these goods, but also the materials fur
nished by the stockholders. A small per
centage is added to the cost of goods to
pay for running expenses, and fa this
way the cost to customers is reduced to a
minimum. Agencies are to be established
in London and Fads, and arrangements
will be made with American manufac
turers for the production of special brands
of silks and other goods. When it is con
sidered wbat enormous sums are expended
annually by tbe ladies in dress, it can
readily be seen that there is plenty of I write " Editors T. and M,
Scenes in the Holy Land.
We make .another extract from Dr.
William M. Thompson’s interesting work
on “Scenes and Scenery in the Holy
Land.” The following will ' give > the
reader an idea of the threshing floor of
Philistia. Some interesting incidents in
Biblical history are associated with,
thresbing-fioers, of which Dr. Thomson
presents an admirable illustration Jn his
picturesque sketches:
The common mode of threshing is with
the ordinary mowrej, which is drawn over
the floor by a yoke of oxen, until not on
ly the grain is shelled out, but tbe straw
itself is ground into chaff. To facilitate
tliis operation bits of rough lava are fas
tened into the bottom of the mowrej, and
the driver sits or stands upon it. It is
rare sport for children, and even our own
delight, to get out to the baidar, as the
floor is called, and ride upon the mow
rej.
Do you suppose that these floors which
we sec at Yebna and elsewhere resem
ble those so celebrated in the ancient
times?
They have, perhaps, changed less than
almost anything else in the country. Ev
ery agricultural village and town in the
land has them, and many of them are
more ancient than the places whose in
habitants noW use them. They have
been just where they are, and exactly as
they were, from a period “to wlrqji the
memory of man runneth not to the con
trary.” In very many cases the topo
graphical conditions of the sites neces
sarily decided the place of the threshing-
floors. It must be an unoccupied spot
near and outside of the village, in a place
exposed to the prevailing wind, and suf
ficiently large for one or more of these
floors. Generally there are several in the
same vicinity.
The construction of the floors is very
simple. A circular space, from thirty to
fifty feet in diameter, is made level, if not
naturally se, and the ground is smoothed
off and beaten solid, that the earth may
not mingle with the grain in threshing. In
time, the floors, especially in the moun
tains, are covered with a tough, hard
sward, the prettiest and often the only
green plots about the village, and there
the traveler delights to pitch his tent.
Daniel calls them summer threshing
floors; and this is the most appropriate
name for them, since they are only used
in that season of the year. The entire
harvest is brought to them, and ^threshed
and winnowed, and the different products
are then transferred to their respective
places. In large villages this work is -
prolonged for several months, but
all is finished befote the au
tumn rains, and from that time till the
next harvest the floors are entirely deserted,
but when the threshing is in full opera
tion, the scene is both picturesque and
eminently oriental. The Egyptian mow
rej is quite different, having rollers which
revolve on the grain, and the driver has a
seat upon it, which is certainly more com
fortable. In the plains of Hamath I saw
this machine improved by having circular
saws attached to the rollers. It is this
instrument, I suppose, that Isaiah refers
to in the forty-first chapter of his prophe
cies : “Behold, I will make thee a new
sharp threshing instrument having teeth:
thou shall thresh mountains, and beat
them small and shalt make the hills as
chaff.” This passage lias several allusion
which residents in this country can read
ily understand.
The Hebrew poets often allude to the
whirlwind that sweeps away the chaff
from the summer threshing-floor. Job,
also, had witnessed the boisterous behav
ior of these winds in his native Hauran,
where both they and the chaff they carry
away abound; and hence his threatening
to the wicked upon whom “God distribu
ted! sorrows in His anger. They are as
stubble before the wind, and as chaff that
the storm carrietli away.”
The sacred writers speak of treading
out tbe corn. Is tills mode still practiced
by these fanners of Philistia?
On some floors here at Yebna, for ex
ample, there was no machine of any kind;
but boys rode or drove horses, donkeys
and oxen, either separately or yoked to
gether, round upon the grainy and^it
sopeenfiar. ’’Some ran from right to left,
and others the reverse; and no one con
tinued long in the same direction, but
changed every few minutes, to keep the
animals from becoming dizzy; while some
sought to secure the same result by fasten
ing blinders over the eyes of the bewilder
ed animals, and this practice prevails
especially in Egypt.
The command of Moses not to muzzle
the ox that treadetli out the com is lit
erally obeyed to this day by most farmers,
and you often see the oxen eating froni
the floor as they go round. There are nig
gardly peasants, however, wlio do muzzle
the ox—enough to show the need of tho
command; and Paul intimates that there
were some such in the church in his day:
“Doth God take care for oxen ? Or sailk
he it altogether for our sakes? For our
sakes,no doubt this is written: that he
that plougheth should plough in hope;
and that he that tliresheth fa hope should
be partaker of his hope.”
The territory of Philistia, which is a
great centre for the production of wheat,
is beautiful, though monotonous. Under
the Moslem rule, most.of the land has be
come the property, not of the cultivator,
but of the government- Under this rui
nous regime there can he no successful
agriculture. No man will plant orchards
on land which does net belong to him.
The husbandmen, moreover, cannot pros
per until the Bedawins are driven back to
their deserts, and kept there by a firm
and -stable government. Neither vine
yards nor gardens can exist so long as
tlieso plunderers are permitted to roam at
will with tlieir all-devouring herds of cat
tle and droves of camels.
Letter from Bolingbreke.
Bolingbroke, Ga., May 4,18S0.
Editors Telegraph and Messenger;
I promised to keep you. informed in refer
ence to the growing crop in our section,
extending from Ocmulgee to Bolingbroke
and that immediate neighborhood. First,
the wheat crop is considered a failure ex
cept in some small area?. Oats have im
proved wonderfully, and now promise an
average yield. In fact tho stalk is not so
high as last year, but the head is equally
as large and heavy, and tliis will make
the oat crop more valuable than last year.
Spring oats, are very good. Most farmers
think they promise better than years pre
vious. Com crops on red lands were ney-
er better at this season, and early plant
ings in February are even fine on cold
gray land. .Those 'planted later have
had to contend with poor stands, cold
weather, frost and too much rata. The
bud worm and cut worm have been de
structive of all com on gray lands and
wet bottoms. We need hot sunshine and
less rain. Cotton that was planted by the
middle of April came up to a perfect stand
and looked more vigorous than usual;
but the excessive wet weather, cold
winds and nights have* caused it
to sicken and die out until
good stand is lost. The lands continue
to be too wet to work, and the rain has
continued with cold east winds during the
past week. Gardens are infested with
worms, which are* destroying the cabbage
and other garden produce. I fear that
the very warm winter has failed to kill
many insect larva:, which will hatch out
in great numbers as soon as we have a
little warm weather, and prove very de
structive.
Some fanners are just commencing to
plant cotton, and! believe cotton planted
in May always gives the best results,
folding more and much easier cultivated,
tepides, it gives the farmer more time to
repare Ills land and complete bis fencing.
Ie can better apply his fertilizer, and in
consequence, the cotton comes up more
vigorous, and grows off better under the
influence of the warm weather. Cotton
is well known to be a hot weather plant,
and does not thrive In cold seasons or
with too much rain. Sunshine, hot sultry
nights and quick, clean work are the es
sentials to a good cotton crop. I will
write again as the season progresses.
Note.—AYe will be glad to hear from
our friend as often as he can conveniently
Congress.
Washington, May 0.—In the House,
Mr. Wells, of Missouri, submitted the
conference report on the Indian appropria
tion bill, and it was agreed to. The re
port states that the main, point of differ
ence between the houses was in regard to
the discontinuance of the board of Indian
Commissioners. As finally agreed upon,'
the commission is continued, but a pro
viso is inserted that no moneys shall be
paid for salaries and expenses of that com
mission.
The morning hour being dispensed with,
the House, at 12:35, went into committee
of the whole, Mr. Carlisle in the chair, on
the post-office appropriate n bill.
In the Senate, Mr. Hoar submitted a
resolution instructing the judiciary com
mittee to report a bill providing compen
sation for all persons whose ships were,
destroyed by Confederate cruisers during
the late rebellion from the moneys re
ceived under the Geneva award. Laid
over under the rules/
Mr. Morgan submitted a resolution
providing a rule for counting the electoral
vote. Referred to the select committee on
that subject. .
Mr. Eaton, from the committee on ap
propriations, reported favorably on the
bill appropriating $250,000 for public
printing, and said he hail intended to ask
for its present consideration, but under
standing that the Senator from Minnesota,
(Windoin)intended to offer certain amend
ments, he would not ask it. He would
prefer not to have any public printing
rather than renew the fight over the
marshals’ appropriations.
Mr. Edmunds asked the present consid
eration of the bill, and it was taken up.
Mr. Windom offered an amendment
appropriating $(500,000 to pay marshals
and their deputies.
This was opposed by Messrs. Eaton,
Davis of AVest Virginia, Saulsbury and
Bailey, and advocated by Messrs. Ed
munds, Conkling and Windom, the lat
ter referring to the closing of the United
States court in New York, and saying the
amendment provided for as necessary an
outlay as the bill itself did.
The president pro tempore (Mr. Thur
man) decided on a point of order that
the amendment was in order, this not be
ing a general appropriation bill.
Washington, May 6.—In the Senate,
during the debate on Mr. AVindom’s
amendment, Mr. Saulsbury said that the
President having shown an unwillingness
to sign bills having riders, he was obliged
to vote against tbe proposed amendment.
Mr. Edmunds understood that tbe
President’s objection was to riders mak
ing new laws as the conditions upon
which Congress would vote money to
conduct the government. This amend
ment was not such a rider. It merely
provided for expenses already incurred
under existing laws. The United States
court in New York, had closed already,
and unless money was soon appropriated
the President might be obliged to say to
all those connected with the administra
tion of justice that, Congress having
evinced an unwillingness to appropriate
money to carry on that • administration,
they must stop.
Mr. Saulsbury said Congress was al
ways ready to vote money to carry on the
government, but they proposed to do it-in
their own proper way, and not to be lec
tured like school children bn the way they
should do their duty.
Mr. Bailey thought the amendment
premature, as the President’s objection
was only to the form of the proposed legis
lation and not to its substance. Mr. Win
dom said that if the bill itself was not
premature his amendment was not, for it
provided fora service more important
than the proposed measure, which was
simply a matter of convenience.
Sir. Conkling said he had a right to
consider other reasons than those named
by the President in his veto, though he
should vote against passing the bill over
the veto.
After more debate of a similar charac
ter, Mr. Windom’s amendment was re
jected by a party vote, and the bill passed
without discussion.
Subsequently Sir. Bayard introduced
a bill to regulate the pay and appoint
ment of special deputy marshals, which
was rcfeired to the judiciary committee..
-dj:.. uvk, Hum cue couiuieice comini
tee, reported favorably on the biil abolish
ing all tolls at the Louisville and Port
land canal. Placed on the calendar.
Mr. Butler presented a memorial of the
Charleston Medical College, favoring the
bill increasing the efficacy of the marine
hospital service.
Sir. Kirkwood, from the post-office com
mittee, reported favorably on the bill au
thorizing the postmaster general to treat
the mail service between East St. Louis
and St. Louis as other than railway ser
vice, and let it to the lowest bidder.
Placed on the calendar.
The morning hour having expired, the
Senate resumed consideration of the Dis
trict of Columbia code bill, the discussion
of which occupied tile entire afternoon.
Sir. Morgan called attention to the fact
that two days had been spent in wran
gling over amendments touching local dis
putes. The Senate of the United States
has turned itself into a town council. He
was more than ever convinced that the
District shocld have a local government.
The bill was finally passed at 0 p. m.
The conference committee’s report on
the Indian appropriation bill was ’lien
taken up, but without action thereon, the
Senate adjourned.
The Kellogg-Spofford resolutions are
laid aside, subject to call at any time.
Washington, May 0.—In the House.
Sir. Scales, of North Carolina, chair
man of the committee on Indian Affairs,
reported back the bill ratifying the Ute
bill.
Tbe House then went into the commit
tee of the whole on the post-office appro
priation bill.
Sir. Hawley moved to strike out the
proviso relative td the star service. For
ty-three per cent, increase in the service
in one year was tbo much. He would not
charge fraud, not knowing that there was
more than maladministration.
Sir. Mills, of Texas, supported the
amendment. If the postmaster general
was guilty, he should be impeached, but
the people of the West slionld not even
then be deprived of necessary facilities.
In the further debate, Mr. Hazelton, of
Wisconsin, said wheri a step was taken
west of the Mississippi river the cry was
raised, “AVhat an outrage on the treasury!”
He would not charge fraud unless he
could prove St, and any man who did was
a coward. One gentleman said the con
tracts shomd be abrogated because there
was a swag attached to them. The gen
tleman 'from Tcxns, Reagan, contended
that • they should .be abrogated ' on tho
ground of fraud. That charge was made
with ill grace by the man who had once
invoked the charity of the House and ob
tained it. He had brought in a bill for
the payment of $300,000 to Southern mail
contractors, and had stated on his sacred
honor that the Confederate government
had never paid any of them, and
It had appeared afterwards * that
the same had been paid. All
hie, Hazleton, meant to say was, tliatwhile
the gentleman was so bold in charging
other men with fraud, lie was himself in a
position to want the charity of the House
and country.
Mr. Reagan—“I made a mistake of fact,
and no one was more ready to acknowl
edge it, But the gentleman is hardly
warranted from the whole course ol my.
life in saying that I need to veil my action
before the House or shrink away from the
discharge of my duty, and from exposing
the villainous contracts of the mail ser
vice.”
After further debate, Mr. Blount, of
Georgia, closed the discussion and de
fended the action of the committee on ap
propriations. The man who was so ready
to assail the gentlemen of the committee
as cowards, had better beware that some
one did not rise and say that a lack of
moral sense induced his attack. It was
said.that the routes east of the Mississippi
liad been greatly expedited. This he de
nied. A vast«um—nearly $1,800,000—had
been used during the current fiscal year
in increasing and expediting the service
by executive order, on routes west of the
Mississippi, while that order had not
touched tlic eastern rentes.

offered yesterday by Mr. Blackburn,' at

strike out the proviso, which was agreed
to by 94 to 71.
Mr. Blackburn gave notice that lie
would demand a vote ta tbe House.
Mr. Money, of Mississippi, of-
ered an amendment providing
that .all star, routes shall be

October, 1880, on wliicli pay for expedi
tion of tbe schedule for the fiscal years

cent of the contract price before such ex
pedition, provided that this proviso shall
not prevail when the present contractor
desires to continue the contract as re
duced. Agreed to by 82 to 29.
Mr. Davis, of Colorado, offered an
amendment authorizing the Postmaster
General to remit in favor of the colonies
of New Zealand and New South AVales so
much of the cost of overland transporta
tion of the Australian mails as he may

The appropriation for route agents was
increased by $50,000, aud for transporta
tion by postal cars, $16,000. The com

recess until 10:30 o’clock to-morrow
morning.
St. Lotus, May 0.—The anti-third
‘ermers’national Republican convention
was called to order by General Hender
son, who called to the chair Mr. C. C.
Hubbard, of Kentucky, a delegate to the
Chicago convention. Mr. Hubbard de
clared that the safety of the republic de
manded that Republicans should remain
in charge of.the nation’s affairs. His re
marks that there were here no private
axes to grind, that there was no candidate
to be brought forward for the presidency,
elicited hearty and continuous applause.
' AVashington, May 0.—Mr. Morgan’s
joint rule,introduced ta the Senate to-day,
to regulate the counting of the electoral
votes, directs that the two Houses shall
meet in joint assembly to count the votes
—the President of the Senate _ presiding.
If no objection is made to receiving tha
list from any State, it shall be received as
the valid list of electoral Totes and no
other package purporting to be the list
from such State shall be opened. Ob
jections to list or lists from auy State are
to be referred and considered separately
by the two Houses. If but one list of
votes is submitted to each House for de
cision, and it appears upon reassembling
that tbe two Houses have concurred ta
relation to this list, then it is to be receiv
ed. If more than one list is submitted and
the two houses do not concur ta receiving
either ofthem then all shall he reject
ed. After the list of the votes of the electors
from a State has been received under the
rules of the resolution, and before the
vote of the electors of another State is
considered, the names of the electors on
the accepted list shall be read, and if no
objection is raised to any of the electors,
all such votes shall he counted by the
tellers. If objection is made to any of tho
electors on the list, the objection must be
considered by the two houses separately,
and if they concur in a decision to reject
the vote of any elector, it shall not be
counted. The joint meeting is not to be
dissolved until the electioral votes are
all counted and the result declared.
AVashington, May 6.—The ways and
means committee resumed this morning
consideration of Representative Tucker’s
tariff' bill, and with some modifications
adopted the greater part of it.
Provisions adopted to-day place on -the
free list chrome iron, ckincona bark and
other harks not otherwise provided for

pulp, upon which the bill proposes to place

ton; all other fabrics and fibrous materi
als for the manufacture of paper, $10 per
ton.
AVashington, May 7.—The House met
at 10:30 and proceeded to the considera
tion of the post-office appropriation tall,
Mr. Scannon, of Illinois, opposed the
amendment adopted by the committee of
the whole yesterday, authorizing the post
master general to remit in favor of the
colonies of New Zealand and New South
AVales so much of the cost ot overland
transportation of Australian closed mails
as he may deem just.
This amendment would enable the
postmaster general to exercise a discre
tion in letting the mails for England pass
through the United States without any
charge against the government of Great
Britain.
The House then proceeded to vote upon
the amendments. The first amendment
on which a separate vote was demanded
was that authorizing $350,000 of the $9,-
490,000 appropriated for tlic railway mail
service to obtain and secure from railways
necessary and special facilities for the pos
tal service.
The amendment was adopted—yeas 110;
nays 60.
The next amendment was that known
as the Money amendment, which is as fol
lows : “All star routes shall be re-let af
ter thirty days’ advertisement, as now
provided by law, on the 1st of October,
18S0,on which pay for expedition of:
ules ordered during the fiscal y<
1879-80 shall exceed'fifty per cent, of the
contract price before such expedition was
provided. That this proviso shall not
prevail when the . present contractor de
sires to continue the contract as reduced.”
Adopted by 118 to 57.
This amendment now takes tho place
of the proviso originally reported by the
appropriation committee to the star ser-
service clause of the bill.
Other amendments were then agreed
to, but before a vote could be taken on the
bill, the legislative session of Thursday
closed, and at 12 o’clock the session of
Friday commenced, ta which, after the
reading of the journal of Thursday had
been concluded, the post-office appropria
tion bill was passed as amended.
In the Senate, Mr. Hoar stated that lie
had intended to call up this morning a
resolution submitted by him yesterday,
directing the committee on the judiciary
to report a bill to reimburse out of the
Geneva award, all those who lost ships
by depredations of Confederate cruisers
during the rebellion, but he would not
oppose the consideration of the conference
report on the Indian appropriation bill,
which was thereupon taken up on motion
of Mr. Beck.
Mr. Edmunds opposed the adoption of
the report. The House having failed to
convince the Senate that tho Indian com
mission ought to be abolished, it was pro
posed, in order to secure the passage of
the appropriation-bill at all, to withhold
money necessary to pay the expenses Of
the commission. This was practically
nullification. This was not a political
question, and he urged the Senate to re
frain from consenting to the introduction
of such a practice in conferences ,-between
the houses.
Mr. Beck said the conference committee
had thought it best to remove this ground
of difference, and oecure the passage of
the bill, inasmuch as tlie sundry civil and
other appropriation bills Would soon fol
low, on which an appropriation for the
commission could be made if thought
best.
The sub-committee of the appropriation
committee has completed the legislative
bill, and will report it to the full commit
tee Monday. < It appropriates $12 , ,211,2S6,
and i3 considered quite liberal, though un
der the estimates. It is thought the Coni-
mitteewill agree upon the bill and report it
to the House on Tuesday. This leaves
but two appropriation bills to be perfected
—tbe sundry civil and general deficiency
bills, both of which are well in hand, and
may be in shape to report to tho House
within tbe next ten days.
AVashington, May 7.—In the Senate, GEORGi atlacheks’ ASSOCIATION
after some further discussion with regard
to the appropriation of money for the pay
ment of the Indian commissioners, the
conference report on the biil was agreed
to without a division.
The mprning hour having expired, the
Senate resumed the consideration of the
Kellogg-Spofford resolutions. Mr. Pryor
supported the resolution, and .made a le
gal argument to show that the pleas of
res adjudicata and estoppel were not
rightfully relied on by the opjionents of
the resolution. In interpreting a reso
lution, effect is to be given to the inten
tion ot the people in adopting it. Look
ing to tho constitution of the United States
in this light, Mr. Pryor thought that tlie
plain Intent of the people in adopting it
was to secure a full and undoubted repre
sentation in the legislature of tlie nation.
It was the plain duty of Senators, under
their oaths to suppor tthe constitution, to
see that each State had two legally ap
pointed Senators, and that there should
be no misrepresentation. No - techuicali-
ty should be allowed to defeat the rights
and expressed- will of the people of a
State.
Mr. Pryor then cited the case of Golsen
and Claiboume in the twenty-fifth Con
gress, and that of AVbitfield in the thirty-
fourth to show that cases like tlie present
have heretofore been revised, and revised
after having once been settled. The opin-
ion expressed in the ewe of Fitch and
Bright, of Indiana, that the Senate’s
action could not be revised, was based on
the idea that all facts had been consid
ered. The facts in this case were not ex
amined on the first hearing, so that this
opinion has no weight. To admit
the right to revise the former action of the
Senate was to put the right of every Sen
ator to his seat constantly in jeopardy; but
it was not to be presumed that honorable
Senators would abuse the privileges of
their office by using them to eject mem
bers rightfully elected. If the Nicholls>
legislature is the lawful legislature of
Louisiana, then Spofford must be the
lawfully elected Senator from Louisi
ana.
Mr. Bayard, on conclusion of Mr. Pry
or’s speech, read from the journal to cor
rect and complete some of the latter’s
statements ta regard to the report ta the
Fitch and Bright ease.
Mr. Hoar then offered a resolution de
claring it to ho the judgment of the Sen
ate that the facts set forth in the report of
the committee on the Kellogg-Spofford
case are not sufficient to justify a recon
sideration of the decision of the Senate,
pronounced November 30th, 1S77. Or
dered printed and laid on the table.
Mr. Hoar said Mr. Cameron was to
speak to-day on this question, but had
been called away. He himself wished
also to speak oa it, but would not be pre
pared until Monday. Upon this the reso
lutions were informally laid aside.
The Senate contingency expense bill,
was then taken up and passed. After
some desultory discussion on motion
made by Mr. Davis, of AVest Virginia, to
take up the bill repealing certain perma
nent aud indefinite appropriations, the
Senate adjourned until Monday.
In the House, bills were passed remov
ing the political disabilities of Thomas
L. Harrison, of Mobile, Ala., and F. L.
Gault, of Virginia.
Mr. AVaslibume, of Minnesota, intro
duced a-jiill appropriating $500,000 for the
construction of reservoirs to improve the
navigation of the Mississippi river above
-St. Louis. Referred.
Onmotion of Mr. AVillis, of Kentucky, a
bill was passed establishing a life saving
station at Louisville, Ky.
The morning hour having been dis
pensed with, the pending question was on
the bill for the relief of L. Madison Day,
of Louisiana. Tlie bill was defeated by a
vote pf 70 yeas to 89 nays.
The House then passed about twenty
pension bills and adjourned.
AVashington, May 7.—The ways and
means committee will meet to-morrow to
take final action on tlie tariff bill. AVood
pulp, printing paper, manufactures of pa
per and agricultural implements are tho
only remaining articles to be passed upon.
None of fliem, it is thought, will provoke
muoii discussion, except wood pulp, upon
which the bill proposes to - lay a duty of
ten per cent, ad valorem. A strong effort
doubtless will be made to place it on tbe
free list. If tlie ways and means commit
tee dispose cf the bill to-morrow tbe sugar
question will be at once taken up as a sep
arate measure. Tbe articles which the
committee has decided to put upou the
free list contributed last year, under the
tariff then in force, $1,280,00(1 to the rev
enue. The class of articles upon which
the largest average reduction has been
agreed upon are articles of wool and
woolen goods. Upon these the committee
have fixed a uniform duty of 45 per cjnt.
It is estimated that last year they contrib
uted $15,500,000, under a complex scale
of duties ranging from fifty-oue to ninety-
seven per cent.
The convention of sanitary officers.,
which has been in session here for the past
two days adjourned sine die to-day. Two
subjects, viz, the practicability of adopt
ing uniform rules and regulations for the
government of quarantine stations, and a
uniform registration iu connection with
the preparation of vital statistics, were re
ferred to committees, who will report
thereon to the national board of health
within two months.

the. trouble is entirely obviated. A host

, Eoat Day’s Proceedings.
The association was called to order at 9
a. m. Some minor matters'of business
having been disposed of, the presided in
troduced Miss S. S. Candler, of Gordon
Institute, Bamesville, who read a paper
on True Culture. The essayist strongly
condemned the shallow, impeifect teach
ing that prevails to a greater or less extent
in many of our schools. The evil com
mences ta the grammar schools and in
creases as the pupil advances to the high
er giales, until in many cases it becomes
the veriest mockery. It is undoubtedly
true that much of. the work done in our
schools and colleges, and which is called
“high culture,” is the merest sham. The
essayist specially censured tlie time and
pains expended ta preparing school public
exhibitions. Many features of these ex
hibitions are sham culture of the most
palpable and useless kind. She also se
verely and justly criticised the custom of
allowing pupils to enter higher institu
tions of learning, when owing to deficient
or imperfect education they were utterly in
capable of pursuing the higher studies with
any profit or success. The great number
of branches which schools undertake to
teach, as essential to a finished education,
is one prolific source of shame in educa
tion. It is impossible to make the aver
age pupil acquire all with any degree of
thoroughness', so, tho teacher is compelled
to resort to a system of skillful veneering,
and the poor pupil, in too many cases,
leaves the high school or college without
one particle of true culture. This system
worked great and irreparable barm to the
person educated under it, stunting both
his intellectual and moral manhood. A
considerable portion of the paper was de
voted to the subject of moral education,
the essayist forcibly maintaining that
there could be no true culture except
where the moral, as well as the intellec
tual man, had been thoroughly .educated.
In the discussion that ensued, Prof.
Woodall and Mr. Dickey made speeches
endorsing the sentiments expressed in the
essay, and adding thoughts of their
own on the subject. After this the
discussion flew the track somehow,
and Messrs. Bonnell and Frederick
made speeches about the State public
school system, both of them strongly dep
recating the habit that many private
school teachers have of opposing the sys
tem and casting slurs upon it.
Rev. Mr. AVilkes made a speech, the
burthen of which was a half-playful but
very just criticism upon tbe poor educa
tion, bad reading and lack of earnestness
ta most of the persons who had read es
says before the association daring this
session. His remarks created much mer
riment.
Professor J. E. Lynes, of Shorter Col
lege, Rome, Ga., was next introduced.
He read a profound, original and schol
arly paper on “Languages, and the ration
al method of teaching them." After dis
coursing at considerable length upon the
philosophy and rationale of languages in
general, he proceeded to give his theory of
how all languages should be taught.
His views on this subject are thoroughly
radical. He believes that the system
by which the languages have been taught
in our schools from time immemorial is
not only defective and imperfect, but to
tally i and fundamentally wrong, being
contrary to all philosophy and common
sense. He specifically pointed out many
of the evils of tbe system, demonstrating
the justness of each criticism by forcible
arguments. He next explained, in a gen
eral way, his own method of teaching. A
mother teaching a child how to talk is
tlie ideal of the first steps of that method.
In all languages the following order of
teaching should be observed: First,
conversation; second, reading; third, wri
ting; fourth, grammar. Tluf last named
should never be taken'up until the pupil
is thoroughly proficient in the other three.
The essayest claimed immense advanta
ges for his method over the one usually
pursued. His assertions on this point, ta
fact, seemed rather extravagant.
Mr. V. E. Orr was ta strong sympathy
with the new method explained by the es
sayist. AVhile getting his education the
speaker had been taught partly by this
method and partly by the old one, and
from his own experience he could say
without hesitation that the-new method
was infinitely better.
At tbe request of several teachers pres
ent Both Professor Lynes and Mr. Orr
gave an actual illustration of the way in
which they teach a class their first lesson
in any language. The members of the
association were converted into a class*
jnst beginning the study of modem lan
guages. Mr. Orr gave them their first
lesson ta German and Professor Lynes
their first in French. The exercise was an
entertaining and spirited'one, and pretty
clearly proved there was some real merit
in the first steps of the system at least.
Mr. S. G. Brinkley was the next essay
ist. . He spoke extemporaneously on
“How to teach reading and spelling to be
ginners.” He gave a clear account of the
three prevalent methods of teaching the
rudiments of spelling: 1. The alphabetic
method. 2. The phonic method. 2. The
word method. Ho exposed in a most
merciless way what he termed the
folly and utter absurdity of the first
named method, the old, old
way by which ourselves and our ances
tors for ages back learned to spell. His
criticisms were made ta a serio-comic
way that made much amusement among
the members. He then explained tbe
phonic and word methods, and pointed
out their great advantages. His own
method of teaching is a combination of
both of these. After finishing his re
marks he called up two sweet little girls,
aged respectively six and nine years,
pupils of his whom he had brought from
Norwood specially for this purpose, and
took them through a series of impromptu
black-board exercises to illustrate the
phonic and word methods. The test was
a thorough and fair one, and a perfect
success. The little misses acquitted
themselves nobly, and won great glory for
themselves, their teacher, and the new
methods. To many persons who had
heard of these new methods, but had
never seen them illustrated, this exercise
was specially interesting.
At half-past twelve the association ad
journed, in order to accept the invitation
of Prof. Zettler to visit the six-year olds
of tlie South Macon Grammar' School. '
By the kindness of citizens, carriages
were furnished to taka all the members
from.their, hall to the school building.
There they were ushered into a real
pleasant room, upstairs, wheresixty little
six-year old children, boys and girls, sat
at their desks, quietly awaiting them. Af
ter a few introductory remarks by Prof.
Zettler, exercises commenced. Tlie
teacher of the grade, 'Miss Horton, con
ducted the class rapidly through various
exercises, in spelling, arithmetic, geogra
phy, reading, declamation, and free
calisthenics, interspersed with simple little
songs, rendered in perfect time and
softened tones by the clear childish
voices. The recitations were conducted
;iartly by the concert and partly by the
ndividual method. Every question was
answered correctly and with great prompt
ness and animation. Tlie whole exercise
was as charming an exhibition as can
possibly be conceived, and illustrated the
purest poetry of teaching. Too much
cannot be said in praise of the fair
young teacher, whose faithfulness and
skill has wrought this beautiful work.
Nothing that has occurred during this
meeting of the association wili probably
make a deeper impression upon the teach
ers, than the hour spent with the six-year-
olds in the South.Macon Grammar
School.

Rev. A. J. Battle, D. D., the fourteenth
annual convention of the Georgia Teach
ers’ Association was adjourned sine die.
Bobbing tbe People for Buncombe.
The iniquitous and oppressive high pro
tective tariffhas been used extensively by
Secretary Sherman to work up a presiden
tial boom for himself by employing the
largely accruing income ta excess of tho
requirements of the revenue, in making
monthly reductions of about ten million
dollars each from the corpus of the public
debt. And yet there is no exigency de
manding these payments, as they arc over
and above all the actual requirements of
the government for ordinary expenses and
the interest oh the debt and sinking fund
designed for its future liquidation.
The Baltimore Sun well remarks:
Mr. Sherman,-in his complacency on
this subject, seems to forget that a large
part of this revenue so much in excess is
derived from what are essentially war
taxes laid upon articles of prime necessity.
A competent authority shows that in the
fiscal year ended June 30, 1879, the three
articles of sugar and molasses, wool and
cotton goods, had paid $05,656,096 into
the treasury, and will pay at least $75,-
000,000 during the present fiscal year.
These three articles could be admitted
free of duty, or the duty reduced to a ju
dicious ad valorem rate such as would
disturb the prosperity of no existing in
dustry in the country, and still tlie treas
ury would have a surplus for all legiti
mate and advisable purposes.
The tariff could be further reduced so
as to free the consumers of paper from ex
tortion, and to lessen the price of steel
rails and other articles so much needed
now by our growirg industries. The in
ternal revenue taxes could be modified
and cut down, and when all this is done
and the country relieved from the pressure
of war taxes, the treasury will still
have a surplus. A majority of both hous
es of Congress are believed to he strongly
in favor of the revenue reform. AVhy,
then, do they staud idle? The tariff is,
by universal admission, a bundle of anom
alies, and tbe previous obstacle to reform,
the need of revenue, is no longer in the
way. AATiy does Congress withhold the
tariff bill?
For the very queer hut conclusive re-
son that a high protective tariff Speaker
from Pennsylvania has stocked with men
of his own way of thinking the important
committee on ways and means, who hold
the key to the whole situation in their own
hands by having confided to tliemj.be pow
er of reporting or not reporting at their
convenience, any measure submitted to
the Houso looking to a modification of tho
present tariff. The House refuses to re
scind this rule, and as a necessary conse
quence, tariff reform must remain to
abeyance. There is some hope yet, how
ever, that the force of public sentiment all
over the country will force them to permit
the duties upon a few necessary articles to
be revised and properly adjusted before
adjournment.
During tbe coming political campaign!
there will be three separate aud distinct
elections ta Georgia. The first will be
the election of Governor,State officers and
members of the general assembly on the
6th of October. The second will be elec
tion of President and members of Congress
on Tuesday, the 2nd of November. The
third and last comes the election of county
officers in January.
The Child and toe Mocking Bird.
A little child in Jacksonville, Florida, was
in the habit of playing upon the piazza o
her father’s house. Near by a mocking
bird had its nest ta the orange tree, ana
the child would throw crumbs to tlie bird
daily. After a while the child was taken
sick and died. AVhile the child’s body
was lying ta the coffin the bird was seen
to perch upon the slat of the window-
blind, pour forth one of its most brilliant
songs aud then flit away. Some hours
after this the body of the little bird was
found upon the floor of the piazza, and
was placed upon the coffin of its little
friend and interred with it ta the same
grave. __ i
