FRIDAY, MAY 14, 1S80.
Maryland fob Blaise.—The Ma
ryland Republican convention has pro
nounced for Blaine, but in the same
breath refused to declare against the
third term.
Cub story about the mocking birds and
the postman’s whistle is impaired by re
ferring it to caged birds, whereas it was
the trick of the wild birds in the garden
shrubbery.
—“Oli, I’ve seen George,” cried a little
girl at Cleveland; “he came and leaned
over me at the piano.” George was a boy
who had recently died. The mother,
hearing the words, fell dead from heart
disease.
TnE Geoboia Railway Commission.
The fate of this law before the Federal
courts will be a matter of earnest thought
and discussion before the people, and the
discussion may crowd the newspapers.
Our space is pretty well occupied to-day
with arguments pro and con.
Not True-.—Governor Colquitt denies
the statement published in some of tho
Independent papers, that he had specula
ted in Louisville aud Nashville railroad
stock, and sunk $2,500. There is not a
word of truth in the report. So says the
Atlanta Correspondent of the Augusta
Chronicle and Constitutionalist.
—The vicinity of Grassy Cove, Cumber
land county, Tennessee, was swept over
by a whirlwind, or cyclone, of consider
able violence, last Sunday, which caused
considerable destruction in the way of
blowing down barns, houses, trees, etc.
In some instances whole orchards were
nprooted. No loss of life is reported.
—Judge Jc:e Black is said to be the
man who wrote for Hancock the papers
published over the latter’s signature while
he was commanding in Louisiana, and on
the strength of which his piesidential
boom was started. Even if this be true,
it shows that Hancock had excellent sense
and knew where to go for vigorous logic.
—It has been doubted whether Thur
man would have a solid delegation from
Ohio in the Cincinnati convention. He
has enemies and rivals at home who are
responsible for the doubt abroad. The
action of counties, however, shows that
there is to be no diyided voice. Thurman
will be solidly presented by Ohio.
—Ninety children, grandchildren and
great-grand-cbildrcn met at the house of
Mrs. Valorous Kibbe, in Ellington, Con
necticut, on Saturday last, to rejoice with
her upon the completion of her ninetieth
year. She is a daughter of Allerton
Cushman, and is a direct descendant of
Thomas Cushman and Mary Allerton, of
Mayflower fame.
—Daniel Drew originated the term
“watered stock.” He was a drover in
early life, and one day when a party de
sired to sell him some inflated stock-said:
“That stock makes me think of old far
mer Brooks, put in ‘Put,’ who used to salt
and water his stock to make them weigh
heavy when he sold them!” The broker
told the story in the streets, and it became
an adage.
—“Professor Ferguson will not lecture
here this evening, as advertised,” said the
chairman of a temperance meeting at Lin
coln, Illinois, “as he is unavoidably de
tained at Peoria.” Being pressed for par
ticulars, ihe chairman explained that the
professor had been arrested for drunken
ness, and sent to a worklieuse for forty
days.
Grant’s Electioneering Efforts.
—The Cincinnati Commercial says Genc-
eral Grant recently said to an intimate
personal friend, understood to be E. B.
Washbumc, that he was absolutely sure
of nomination at Chicago. He, however,
expressed considerable feeling because an
effort was making to get his own State
away from him. He felt that he ought to
be allowed a solid Illinois delegation in
the national convention.
Phil Siieridan’s Infantry.—Gen.
Sheridan, before a court of inquiry now in
session at Governor’s Island, near New
York, said that he himself had once
marched infantry at the rate of nearly five
miles an hour for twelve consecutive
hours, making nearly sixty miles in
twelve hours.
It is suggested that Phil’s Jnfxnt-ry
must have been full grown, with very long
and strong legs. That is good tinie for
athletics upon a floor and stripped for the
. job.
Errors in Book-Keeping.—The In
dian department of British politics is scan
dalized by finding itself twenty million
dollars short on the Afghan war expenses.
That is a somewhat serious and unpleas
ant discrepancy in book-keeping, but still
it is a small affair compared with Ameri
can exploits in the same direction. Sena
tor Davis shows some achievements in the
United States treasury of the same kind
which leave Mr. John Bull hopelessly in
the shade. _ _
—When Dennis Kearney was registered
at the San Francisco house of correction
lie said that he was a “drayman” and that
he was 34 years of age. He had sixty-
seven dollars in his pocket, but was al
lowed to retain nothing. He asked per
mission to move a little coffee stove into
his cell, but the keeper would not hear of,
it/ His hair was not cropped, because it
was already short. ' He remarked that the
striped suit felt warm and comfortable,
though the pantaloons were too small.
The San Francisco papers say that Kear
ney could veiy easily have paid his fine of
$11,000, as he is worth $00,000.
—The Washington Star says the con
fidence with which Speaker Randall ex
presses the opinion that Til den will be
nominated on the first ballot at Cincin
nati will go a great ways toward convin
cing people that there is more in the Til-
den boom than is generally reported.
Mr. Randall has the reputation of.being
a long-headed politician, and he Would
not be likely to make such a posiiive dec
laration about Tilden unless he had a
basis for it.
The fact, too, that Tilden usually
achieves what besets out for,In politics
tends to confirm Mr. Randall's prediction.
It was said that the “Saga of Grammercy
Park” would be baaten in New York, but
he quietly pocketed the delegation, with
out any trouble. It was then claimed
that he would be crushed in Pennsylvania,
but the convention did -not hurt him any.

* Herald on Whittaker.
The Herald launches an editorial col
umn at the “Whittaker Mystery,” in
which that martyr to a self-inflicted out
rage is' riddled in a review of the facts in
the case and his conflicting statements.
The Herald thinks it strange that Whitta
ker should have been “hit with an Indian
dub”—knocked into a state of uncon
sciousness, in which he remained for
hours—struck on. the nose with “some
thing hard ’’—hit on the head with a look
ing glass—struck with a fist on the left
temple—and yet be able to display next
morning not tho slightest mark of abra
sion from all that violence. It is also a
piece for wonder to the Herald that he
should have remained tied on his bed all
night, when, with the slightest effort of a
vigorous human creature, (fat men ex
cepted), having only his ankles and
wrists tied, he could have freed himself in
a few minutes.
The Heralds article amounts, substan
tially, to a strong declaration of opinion
that the whole affair is an attempted im
posture by the so-called colored cadet,
and this, as we suppose, is getting to be a
settled opinion, or at least a strong suspi
cion, upon the part of the Northern press
generally. At least, several papers that
started out boldly to treat it as a “hellish
outrage founded in an inhuman prejudice
against color,” and were getting more elo
quent in that view of the subject from
day to day, have suddenly hushed up and
have nothing to say.
But, after all, the performances a case
of fraudulent self-infliction, is to that de
gree disgraceful, scandalous andunchar-
acterizable by words which kind-hearted
people like to apply to any human crea
ture, that neither the Herald nor. any
other newspaper likes to come to a point-
blank statement, nor do any of them care
to face the fierce and relentless negrophi-
lism of the so-called Republican party
with the obvious truth in plain words.
But as the thing looks to us now, it will
have to come out at last.
The Southern Templar and a Prohi
bition Law.
The April number of the Southern
Templar is brimful of temperance news
and enthusiasm. We are in full rapport
with our contemporary upon all matters
saving that “national prohibitory law”
which it so earnestly advocates. The
experience of every age has demonstrated
that persecution is not the best method to
carry any point, whether religious, moral
or strictly secular. The Maine liquor
law and the various prohibitory acts of
New England all prove this. Sumptuary
laws are peculiarly obnoxious to tho peo
ple, and can never be enforced. It is the
abuse, not the use of liquor, that is ob
jectionable, and intemperance is hydra-
headed and equally injurious in many
other forms. A glutton may gorge him
self to death on the plainest food—a mer
chant, mechanic, statesman or common
laborer, prompted by ambition, necessity
or the love of gain not unfrequently saps
his vital energies by over exertion and
sinks into a premature grave. This is in
temperance, though not accompanied by
the horrors and degradation of the drunk
ard.
As long as the world continues to move
it may as well be admitted that stimulants
icill be taken, oftentimes to the ruin, mor
ally and financially, ol those who indulge
in them. But the only true means of
combating the evils af excess is through
the force of precept and example, supple
mented by the teachings of the pulpit. It'
is a crime and a sin to get drunk. Let
the law punish the offender for every of
fense growing out of this vile habit, and
the whole power of religion be directed to
reclaiming the erring and holding up to
reprehension their besetting vice.
Beyond this it is not safe to go, as a re
actionary movement is certain to follow.
The old Adam of human nature resents
coercion when applied to matters of mere
personal volition. It is impossible to force
any man to be temperate, moral or relig
ious. A thousand prohibitory acts will
not suppress the sale and use of ardent
spirits, while they excite opposition and
prove a dead-letter in practice.
Don Cameron’s Unitary Arrange
ment for Grant in Pennsylvania is burst
ing out at both ends and in the middle.
According to the Philadelphia Times of
the 4th, the delegates to Chicago are be
ginning to laugh and sneer at it, and ex
hibit otli9r insolent signs of irreverence
and insubordination. The Don must
have them shot for mutiny. Yes, they
must be shot or bung for mutiny 1 That
would be a good, square and honest inau
guration of imperialism in America. Let
the brilliant star of the Empire greet the
gallows tree! Yes, sir! thirty men all
strung up in a row will give a strong idea
of a strong government, and let every
body know “what’s a coming”—i. e., if
the.ropes don’t break.
Tiib Chicago convention, says the 2Vi-
bune, will meet four weeks from to-mor
row. The Republican party has just
one month to reflect upon the proposition
that it deliberately assemble in conven
tion to make that nomination which shall
most please the Democratic party.”
The Tribune is trifling away its day of
grace, and sneering surreptitiously at the
third term. It don’t know the times and
seasons. It fails to recognize that we
have all got to “vote as a unit” or die.
The day when people could be voting
around for any body, according to a fool
ish fancy, is passed. The country is just
about to enter on a new extension of the
area of freedom, in which all will be com
pelled to vote right and pay up their as
sessments.
Memphis has laid about fifteen miles
of new sewers up to date, and the house
connections with them are making as rap
idly as possible. Although unfavorable
weather has prevented the completion of
the entire system, all the business portion
of the city and the thickly-settled area
west of the bayou are substantially finish
ed. The work in the comparatively clean
soil and less thickly built region east of
the bayou will be continued until Jane 1.
Tests recently made, it is claimed, dem
onstrate the success of the new system of
sewerage.
—Tho Palatka Herald saysr “It is. not
likely that the orange crop next fall .will
be as large as it has been the past. The
unusual warm winter prevented the sap
from going down. The growth of the
orange continued without intermission all
through the season, which prevented the
full-bloom of the orange, which usually
comes on in February. This spring we
notice that the orange trees about town
had comparatively but few blossoms. The
young groves, however, have had the ad
vantage of an open warm winter, tvhich
has pushed them along amazingly.”
An Old Customer.
Butler, Ga., May 4, 1SS0.
Editors Telegraph and Messenger:
In looking over the private papers of my
long since deceased father, I came across
a copy of the Georgia Journal, published
at Miliedgeville on the 4th day of May,
1819, just sixty-one*years ago, and my
mind at once turned to the office of the
old consolidated trio, the defender and
honored champion of the progressive prin
ciples of the age, and thinking that a pres
ent of the kind might be acceptable to
you, I make the tender with a polite bow,
accompanied with hearty wishes for long
life and honored success in the constant
support and defense of the right.
Very respectfully, yours, etc.,
R. H. Riley.
The old copy of the Georgia Journal
alluded to above is by no means the
most ancient copy of our predecessors we
have in possession. We have them clear
way back in 1809 and 1810, and, we pre
sume, earlier, if we cared to stir the dust-
covered files. The Telegraph and
Messenger represents a long line of an
cient and honorable ancestry in all shapes
and sizes, and we hope will continue to
spread the news among the people till
the centuries cease to roll.
The Journal of the date sent us was
issued when the hand that pens these
words had not attained a year’s growth.
It opens with the celebrated poem of
Hon. R. H. Wilde—“My life is like the
summer rose,” which had just appeared,
and was “extracted from the last number
of the “Aiialetic Magazine,” so says the
editor.
A large part of the paper is taken up
with a fierce correspondence between Ma
jor-General Jackson aud Brevet-Major-
General Scott, on the subject of an order
bearing date the 22nd April, 1817, pub
lished by the former to the troops of his
division, and printed about the same time
in most of the public papers, and which
concludes with an exculpatory letter from
DeWitt Clinton, dated Albany, New
York, 6th April, 1819. Next is a long re
port of the case of McCulloh vs. the State
of Maryland, in the Supreme Court of
Revision at the Holly Springs—case
brought up from the Supreme Court of the
United States by certiorari. These two
documents fill up the paper with the ex
ception of about two columns of news and
editorial.
The paper was printed May 4. It had
foreign dates as sate as 30th January, and
New York dates to April 13th. It was
published by J. B. Hines. It announces
that Colonel Richard A. Blount, of Wash
ington county, has been appointed a Com
missioner on the part of the State of Geor
gia to run the Florida line in conjunction
with Mr. Lumpkin, commissioner on the
part of the United States; and that An
drew Fullwood was at the last term of
the Superior Court in Scriveq.county con
victed of beating his wife, and fined one
hundred dollars. The President of tho
United States arrived in Georgetown on
the 15th ultimo, and was expected in
Charleston on the 19th.
Wesleyan College’s Entertainment
to tlie Georgia Teachers’ Associa
tion.
We were one of a goodly number of
guests, outside ol the teachers’association,
who were present Thursday afternoon in
the chapel of Wesleyan College, to enjoy
the exercises given in honor of that body,
which has been holding its sessions in our
city for several days.
The association protracted its sittings for
a half hour or more, so that the young la-
dias had commenced to render the pro
gramme before its members arrived , on
the scene. But we are sure they heard
quite enough to take away with them
a lively recollection of the progress and
admirable training of the matriculates-^of
this time-honored institution.
The affair wa3 entirely impromptu, Dr.
Bass stating distinctly that it was only a
fair sample of the daily closing exercises
in composition and elocution, intended to
allow our visiting guests, themselves
skilled educators, to form some concep
tion of what was going on in the college.
The girls acquitted themselves surpris-
ingly well, Some of the renderings in reci
tation, original composition and music
comparing favorably with any of the kind
V7C ever remember to have heard. It is
quite evident that old Wesleyan contains
vyithih its bosom at this time an unusual
amount of talent, while the remark
is universal that a more lovely array of
young ladies never graced its classic halls
at any previous period.
The curriculum of study is exceedingly
thorough, coming fully up to the stand
ard of the majority of male institutions,
while the musical and art* departments
cannot be excelled at the South. Indeed,
the whole corps of instructors are finished
scholars and trained teachers, and we are
only astonished that any .parent will leave
advantages like these at their very doors,
and send their daughters far away, where
they will learn not a whit more, but per
haps become weaned from the old roof-
tree and the endearing and salutary asso
ciations of home.
If we had a . thousand daughters we
would send them all to Wesleyan Col
let-
The institution is in a flourishing con
dition, and i3 very justly the pride of our
beatiful city and State.
Let us have Peace.
General' Grant, on Wednesday last,
reached Springfield, Illinois, and was re
ceived with great pomp at the State house
by the distinguished citizens of the town
and surrounding country. He made (for
him) a long speech. The fact is, it.
was a critical time in Illinois. The State
was just about declaring her Presidential
preferences, and the General had a lively
sense of the propriety of a declaration
from Illinois for a third term. A part of
the General’s speech reads as follows:
“In the 'course of my travels through
cur country, I'am happy to say I thought
I saw signs of returning prosperity in the
section we were lately in conflict with,
aud with prosperity a returning love for
the flag that floats on this.side of that
platform. [Applause.] That is what we
desire, certainly that' there shall be no
sectional feeling, that there shall be a sub
stantial Union feeling in every section of
the country, and no matter what was the
public position of the parties nineteen
years ago, they should ail feel that now
they have a common interest in the coun
try, and are protected by the same flag,
and if necessary should fight for it Uhl”
[Loud applause].
This is an agreeable modification of the
slogan “Let us have Peace,” with which
General Grant opened the campaign of
1868. That proved more charming in the
sound than in the .practical interpretation.
For when the Southern States discovered
that peace was to be preserved in knock
down fashion by taking military posses
sion of their, legislatures with bayonets,
breech-loading cannon and Gatling guns,
their admiration abated.
So this speech sounds well; but as
Grant’s, idea of. government is a purely
military idea—as he constitutionally de
spises debate end council, and affects
military orders, we must first seethe
practical working of this proposition be- 1
fore throwing up hats for It.
Hot too Late to Plant Bice.
One of our most substantial farmer
friends from Twiggs county informed us
yesterday, that his wheat and oat crops are
almost a total failure. When asked why
he did not plow up and plant the same
land in upland rice, he replied, “because
it was too late to do so, and besides, he
had no means of cleaning his rice.”
Before he took his departure he seemed
satisfied, however, on both points.
In Southern Georgia rice can be planted
with safety as late as the tenth of June.
Indeed, when cold weather or other caus
es have prevented sowing in March or the
first days of April, it is better to plant
late, as thereby you avoid the so-called
May birds in the spring, and the same
pest with changed plumage, yclept “rice
birds,” in the harvest season. The writ
er speaks by the card from many years ex
perience in Liberty county. In this lati
tude, perhaps, it would be well not to de
lay planting longer than ihe first of June,
Break up your ground thoroughly and lay
off in 2| feet rows. Then drop the seed
about (thirty grains in each hill) from 15
to 18 inches apart, and cover with a board
or very lightly with the foot. A half bush
el will suffice to seed one acre. After
wards, cultivate flush, with the plow and
hoe, carefully keeping dowD the grass
and weeds. On anything like good land
the yield will be from twenty-five to forty
bushels per acre, or double what the same
area would produce in com.
When the beads of rice “turn down”
and begin to ripen, put in the sickle
while the lower grains on the stalk are
still partially green. One or two days
exposure to the sun will be sufficient to
cure the straw; then house or stack as you
would oats or auy other grain.
Afterwards, at your own leisurerwhen
the weather is fair, thresh out with
the common flail sticks on a floor of
boards or impacted clay, and winnow the
grain either from a low scaffold or by the
use of an ordinary fan. It may then be
sacked like com and sent to market
in the rough state, usually commanding
about twice the price of that staple.
The straw makes good forage and the
chaff the finest fertilizer for sweet pota
toes we have ever tried.
For domestic use, enough can be
cleaned by mortar and pestle with but
little difficulty, or the farmer can buy
with some of the proceeds of his rice crop,
the article as prepared by the steam
mills.
We are satisfied that if one-fourth or
one-half of the arable land of middle or
southern Georgia could be planted in up
land rice, the result would be an immense
addition to the revenues of the people.

Over the Palisades—^A Fatal
Fall.—Losing his way in the darkness
during the heavy rainfall of last Tuesday
night, John Blanche, a young man, who
lived in the little village, of Closter, Ber
gen county, N. J., fell from the brink of
a precipitous cliff of the palisades and was
killed. The next day the body of Blanche
was found lying 275 feet below the cliff,
amid a mass of boulders and sharp rocks.
His skull was fractured over his left eye,
and his left leg and right arm were bro
ken. He was undoubtedly instantly kill
ed. The team'which he was driving was
found standing entangled among trees
about fifteen feet from the edge of the pal
isades, which is there 475 feet above the
Hudson by actual measurement -This is
the greatest height of the palisades. The
horses had evidently stood there some
time, as they had, by continued stamping
with their fore feet, dug great holes in the
ground. They had also eaten the bark
from all the trees and bushes within their
reach. The wheels of the wagon, were
held fast in a cluster of trees.. .
—A German physician claims to have
discovered a means of dying the .syes of
animals in general and of man in particu
lar any color he pleases. He is accompa
nied on his travels by a dog with a rose-
colored eye, a cat with an orange-eye, a J
monkey with a chrome-yellow eye, a ne
gro with one black and one blue eye, and
a negress with one eye gold colored and
the other silver white. The doctor says
that his process, instead of injuring,
strengthens and Improves the sight.
400,000 DOUQRANTS.
Peculiar Scenes Among' Immigrants
Arriving at Castle Carden - Quaint
Customs and Singular Habits -How
all are Provided for and Forwarded
to their Destinations.
From present indications it is confident
ly expected by the commissioners of emi
gration that the influx of foreigners land
ing at New York this year will be very
much greater than has ever been known
before. Since the 1st of January 81,114
immigrants have arrived, and the estimate
for the year, based upon knowledge of.the
movement in other countries, puts the
number to arrive in 1880 at 400,000. The
record of the only years approximating to
this is: 1849, 220,603; 1850, 212,796; 1851,
289,601; 1852, 300,992; 1853, 284,945; 1S54,
319,223; 1866, 233,418; 1867, 232,181; 1868,
213,695; 1869, 258,989; 1870, 212,170; 1871,
229,639; 1S72, 294,581; 1873, 266,818.
What has started this enormous rush it
is extremely difficult to understand. That
one-fourth of those who have come this
year should have been from starving Ire
land seems natural; but even a greater
number have come from Germany, where
there is no cry of famine, and many thou
sands more who are apparently well-to-do
farmers from England, Holland, Norway,
Sweden and Denmark. With the arrival
of so many immigrants, Castle Garden is
an exceedingly busy place. Since the
1st of February there have been, on an
average, three steamships per day arriving
with long lists of steerage passengers, and
the average number per steamer since
Januaiy 1 has been more than 340. The
largest lot landed from any steamship
was 1,322 from the Ohio, on April 23.
The receipts at Castle Garden have av
eraged more than 670 per day thus far
this year, and that is enough to make
lively times for everybody about the Gar
den. The bedlam of the Stock Exchange
is hardly more noisy and confusing to the
casual visitor than is the scene presented
by the immigrants daily in this place,
which is to them the portal of the New
World. As they arrive they are all
brought here direct, by barge or steam
boat, from the vessels in which they reach
this port, and from here they start anew
for inland destinations.
SCENES IN THE GABDEN.
Looking down from Secretary Jackson’s
windows upon the great central rotunda,
the throng is thickest about the central
ra"iled-in stalls, where the money chang
ers, ticket sellers and registrars are.
Here aud there, kept in single file by
railings that only allow them to reach the
desk one by one, they move patiently and
slowly. At another point near by they
crowd excitedly about a man who, stand
ing ou a bench, yells at tho top of his
voice a series of names. He is announc
ing those for whom letters are held or
friends are awaiting outside, and his
communications seem to awaken
the liveliest interest in all, even
those who are furthest from any
reasonable expectation of seeing anybody
they know, or receiving anything from
anywhere. . At another point they appear
to have extemporized a mass meeting
about an employe of the Garden, who is
making a stump speech to them in their
own language. They are Scandinavians
going to Minnesota, and he is telling them
all about how they will travel, how long
they will be on the road, where they will
stop en route, how to get land, at what
points best inducements for employment
are offered, warning them against the
tricks ,and wiles of sharpers, advis
ing them in regard to a multiplicity
of details in the new conditions of Itfe
upon which they are entering, and pa
tiently answering from his comprehensive
store of practical knowledge the questions
they have to ask lnm.
PICTURESQUE COSTUMES.
One thing that strikes the observer con
templating the immigrants as they arrive
is the fondness for vivid colors evinced by
the people of the Old World. The na
tional costumes that formerly gave such a
picturesque appearance to the immigrants
and marked each people distinctively, aro
disappearing. From Germany, Holland,
England, Sweden and Ireland'come now
about the same general style of garments,
varied simply in cut and color, all bearing
a close resemblance to the general fash
ion of raiment worn here. Yet, occa
sionally, one still encounters groups from
countries, more remote or farther in the
rear of the universal progress towards as
similation who arc well worthy of atten
tion and remark. A party of Icelandic
men, six in number, arrived here not long
ago, whose garb would have been a prize
for a side show. Their panta
loons of dark gray frieze ex
tended up to their arm-pits. Their vests
and coats just met the upper edge of the
pantaloons,and from each coat dangled be
tween tlie shoulders of its wearer a pair of
the funniest, most ridiculous and diminu
tive tails it is possible to imagine. Big
silver buttons, that had been- bequeathed
from father to son for many generations,
studded the garments. The handsomest
men’s costumes worn by any immigrants
are those of the Tyrolese, consisting of
long stockings, velvet knee breeches, em
broidered vests,- short cloaks, cone-shaped
hats, adorned with feathers, etc. The
women from the same country have
brightly striped petticoats, sometimes with
strips of gold or silver lace that makes a
bright and pleasing show. Almost al
ways both men and women have finely
developed forms, which their costumes
display to the best advantage.
THE MONEY EMIGRANTS BRING.
Concerning their financial condition, it
is found quite impracticable to arrive at
any positive knowledge of tho amount of
money brought into the country by immi
grants, but an approximate idea may be
derived from the fact that the money
changers in the Garden frequently ex
change $150,0C0 per diem for them. Then
to this must be added, in the general esti
mate, a great deal of money brought here
in the form of drafts on banks and com
mercial houses, concerning which the
emigration authorities can know nothing,
aud no inconsiderable amount^ it is but fair
to suppose, of American money bought on
the other side of the ocean. The average
sum supposed to be brought by each immi
grant iu late years has been about $69,
but that is probably an under-cstimate:for
those who have arrived this year. To the
afnount brought into the country by them
in cash should also be added the price of
tickets for inland, transportation, pur
chased in Europe from agents of American
railroad aiul steamboat companies. The
Germans are th’e least demonstrative of
any of the immigrants in meeting their
friends. Hearty handshaking, sometime^
a solemnly administered kiss on the
cheek, and an explosive “So J” or a formal
“wie gaetes 1” are about all they generally
indulge in. But that their hearts are as
warm and their affections as deeply
stirred as any other person’s may easily be
read in their tear-moistened eyes and the
happy smiles that light up their counte
nances. The Russians are great kissers.
The Italians greet with noisy laughter,
kisses and irrepressible chatter. Bat of all
wildwelcomings those of the Irish are the
most vigorous. Shouts, embraces, ejacu
lations of/‘Glory be to God!” “The
saints be with usl”. “Alaunah,” and the
like make the rafters ring. One day last
week a young Irish girl, who had come
over alone, was sighted in- the passage
way between the rotunda and the Infor
mation Bureau—which is-inanout-build-
ing—by four women, relatives, who had
gone down to meet her. Her back was
toward them, and she was unaware of
their close proximity, until with a wild
“ whillililew” they precipitated themselves
upon her. In .sudden fright from their
onslaught, for they were literally climb
ing on ber, she failed to recognize them,
aud dropped fainting to the floor, carry
ing the four of them down with her. It
was several minutes before the officers
could disentangl# the quintet, get them to
their feet and soothe their agitation.
A good forty per cent, of all the immi
grants who have arrived at this port this
year, have been of the most valuable class
tor the material development of a country,
healthy, able-bodied, single young men,
and comparatively few of them have had
any other purpose than the pursuit of ag
riculture. Few remain in this State, and
hardly any of them go South. The West
is their objective point.—New York Sun.

Mr. Jessup Seeks to Break up the
Georgia Bailway Commission.
Morris K. Jessup, one of the non-resi
dent owners of the Savannah, Florida and
Western railroad, has refused to acknowl
edge the authority of the State Railway
Commissioners, and obtained a tempora
ry injunction from' the United States
court, prohibiting the enforcement of the
hew tariff schedule.
Mr. Jessup takes the ground,
1. That the law establishing the rail
road commission is unconstitutional, null
and void;
2. That the Legislature of a Slate has
no authority to delegate powers bestowed
upon it by constitutional provisions to
third parties as agents with discretionary
and plenary powers.
Jackson,Lawton and Bassinger,and Chis
holm, are the attorneys for the complain
ant. It will be the Governor’s duty to
appoint such additional counsel as he may
deem necessary to represent the State in
conjunction with the attorney general
The case is set for the 14th of May be
fore Judge Woods, in Atlanta; and Judge
Bradley is expected to be present and pre
side also.
We find in the Constitution the follow
ing views of ex-Govemor Smith and Mr.
Toombs,as communicated to a reporter,on
the validity of the pending suit, which are
very pronounced and emphatic against
it:
“I am glad,” said the governor, “that
the question has been raised at this time.
The commission will be glad to know
whether they have the authority to per
form their functions or not. It is high
time, anyhow, that the people should
know whether they are to control the rail
road corporations or the railroad corpora
tions are to control the people. The ques
tion is one of the utmost importance to
tne iuterest of the people of the State.”
“How comes the question before the
Federal courts ?”
“It is a ruse upon the part of the rail
road people. Jessup takes advantage of
his non-residence to make the issue in the
Federal courts, but they have nothing to
do with tho question. It is an issue upon
the internal policy of the State; these rail
roads are State corporations, and as such
subject to regulation in such manner as
the State, through her general assembly,
may determine.
“What do you think of the case—I
mean with reference to its results?”
“I cannot believe that the United States
courts will undertake to interfere with our
operations. That would be an assump
tion of authority over the sovereign pow
ers of tlie State a little beyond anything
yet on record.”
“What will the commission do in the
matter?”
“We leave the defense of the case to the
governor and attorney general. They will
move to dissolve the injunction and resist
the making of it perpetual. The commis
sion will proceed with its duties. This Is
only the case of one road.' Each road
must staud upon its own case.”
“Was there any necessity for action of
this kind unless for the purpose of break
ing down the commission?” % .
“I cauuot.conceive of any other object.
The commission is vested with discretion
ary powers, and has been, is now, always
ready to do justice. All the roads have
to do is to convince us by reasonable
proof that injustice is done in fixing any
rate and it will be changed. We are
ready to change the rates every day, and
every hour of every day if necessary, to
establish equity betweea the interests of
the people and of the railroads.”
“Do you think the constitutionality of
the act can he established?
“There can be no question of it. The
act Is constitutional", au<l tlie powers es
tablished by the constitution over the sub
ject matter is properly vested in tho com
mission. Both questions can be de
fended, and I believe vindicated. I feel no
apprehensions about the results of this
fase. The commission will staud, aud its
rates be fully enforced.”
A NATIONAL COMMISSION.
“Suppose the court should hold differ
ently?”
.“In that case the people must go far
ther. They must take the railroads at
their own word and, granting that their
business constitutes inter-State commerce,
exercise through Congress' the regulating
power granted in the constitution of the
United States.”
“By a national commission, as it
were?”
“Yes, or by establishing a department
of the government especially charged
with regulating the operations of trans
portation aud common-carrier corpora
tions. This is a great question, a living
issue, and the people are coming to recog
nize that they must take firm hold of
these monster combinations, or soon be
completely at their mercy. I am in favor
of the people maintaining their authority
over them.”
GENERAL TOOMBS’ VIEWS.
Entering the rotunda of the Kimball
house' the reporter met General Toombs,
who is'here to aigue the railroad tax
cases before Judge Clark.
“What do you think of the injunction
against thq railroad commissioner ?”
“There is nothing, in it,” promptly i re
plied the general.
“Do you think the constitutionality of
the act beyond the question?”
“Absolutely! There is no. such question
in the case. The Supreme Court of the
United States in numberless cases, nota
bly the Chicago elevator cases and the
Illinois Granger cases, has established the
principles which govern in this case. Jus
tice Bradley is committed to those decis
ions and cannot go back upon his record.”
“What have the federal courts to do
with tlie case, anyhow?”
“No more than any individual out in
that street. There is no pretext, for the
case going there but .that of Jessup’s non
residence. The question belongs to the
State courts.”
“Have you any Interest in the trial of
the question ?” 1
H“I do not know, I said I would appear
for a fee of one dollar. I have had noth
ing to do with its acts, but tlie men com
posing it are good aud satisfactory men.
They are doing right, and I am satisfied
'that they will be sustained by the courts
aud the people.”
General Toombs may yet be called upon
tp; appear for the State, in conjunction
with the attorney general, in the United
States court on the 14th instant. The
progress of the case will be watbhed with
interest by the people of the entire State.
The Bailway Commission.
"Editors Telegraph and Messenger:—
The Constitution seems inclined to in
voke the prejudices of the public regard
ing the doctrine of State sovereignity on
the occasion of Mr. Jessup’s application to
the United States courts for an injunction
against the Railroad Commissioneris-tariff
schedule. '
In the review of points submitted by
Mr. Jessup in his application, and com
ments on the same in that paper of-the
5th, there is apparent want of confidence
with the writer in.the correctness of the
law under which the commission is act
ing, and his apprehension of the result be
fore tlie United States courts evidently
caused him to lose his temper, and hence
the strong language used in reference to
the course of tho railroads in the State if
this suit should terminate in their favor,
and his frantic appeals, in behalf of the
sovereignty of the State.
The time has passed when thinking
men are to be Satisfied with bald asser
tions accusing the railroads of the State
with “running riot” over the people.
The bistory ot our railroads for the past
four yean, with few exceptions, shows
that they nave met the demand for cheap
rates at a point that made this vast prop
erty unproductive, aud Us future so
uncertain, that the stock of every rail
road corporation in the State
has been fearfully depressed; dividends on
all have been small at best, and in many
instances whole years hare passed without
payment of dividends by some of the larg
est and strongest corporations in the
State.
It cannot be truthfully said that these
results have been brought about by care
less or extravagant management. The
working force of all the roads with which
I am acquainted, has been reduced to the
lowest possible point that would operate
them. Salaries have been reduced below
the value of service, if same men were em
ployed in other branches of business, re
quiring efficient talent, character and ser
vice. Materials and supplies of all kinds
have been bought closely—even upon the
low prices incident to the long and terri
ble depression through which we have
passed, and the whole business of these
great enterprises in the State has been
managed with that general ability that
should enhance the collective reputation
of the men having same in charge. Dur
ing this entire period in which so much
complaint against the roads lias been en
gendered, I have been a heavy
shipper of goods, and at no time could
I have honestly said that rates I had to
pay were even more than adequate to
the service performed. I will state just
here that I do not now, never have, and
never expect to own a share of railroad
stock; neither have I ever been, nor
do I anticipate in future that I shall be
employed in any way by any railroad in
the world. My opinions are based upon
that general knowledge acquired by every
man who keeps his eyes open as to what
is a reasonable price for any article bought
or service performed.
The doctrine of State sovereignty has
been largely enshrined in the political
faith of our people from the early history
of the State, but its invocation in this in
stance will fail to impress its most elevat
ed advocates with the correctness of either
law or policy, which being destitute of
right or justice seek their perpetuation by
an an appeal to sentiment or prejudice.
The advocates of the railroad commis
sioners’ scheme, are proceeding upon the
theory that the railroads have no rights
that the State is bound to respect. It was
conceived by politicians who having but
personal ends to serve, thought the way
was open for successful appeal to the ear
of the masses by raising the cry of extor
tion against the railroads, and then pass
ing a law putting the absolute control of
the fifty millions of money invested in
these indispensable enterprises, in the
hands of three men, neither of whom ha3
the necessary experience in railroad man
agement to enable him to do justice to the
railroads, while assuming to mitigate the
evils complained of by an unthinking pub
lic. The subject of freight tariffs and gen-
eral railroad ‘management requires pecu
liar qualifications and cannot be mastered
or comprehended without life-long study
and experience. I will say nothing
against the character of the commis
sioners, nor would I reflect upon them
in any way; neither will I indulge
iu that style of doubtful compliment so
common in these days. Iu dealing with
public questions, the actions and qualifi
cation of public officials are the just
subjects of fair criticism.
Mr. Wallace was at oue time sup r’n-
tendent of the Western & Atlantic railroad,
which belongs to the State, and at that
time was operated by the Slate. Why
did he not then demonstrate the practica
bility of making returns to the treasury,
under the scale of charges made out by
the commission for the government of the
railroads to-day? What were the charges
of the Western & Atlantic railroad then,
as compared with the charges the past five
years? Were they less or more? Would
it not have been right and proper for the
State then to have demonstrated with her
own road, under the management of the
astute Mr. Wallace, that she could secure
to her poverty stricken people, the hood
of such cheap freights.
Did Mr. Wallace then know that he
was “running riot” over the dear people?
If not, when did he learn so much
about railroad management? I put these
questions, because he was selected—as
the people were led to believe—as the em
bodiment of railroad wisdom. My
recollection is, he has ■ had but
little experience in ' railroad man
agement since he let slip this great
opportunity to demonstrate this problem
affecting the public good,'when lie could
have done it at public expense, which was
proper. I would suggest to him that rail
roading now is as different -from what it
was when he was on the State road, as the
United States mail service is from tele
graphy.
Mr. Ramett, I understand, is a most ex
cellent gentleman, and a pains-taking,
conscientious theorist, but, 1 am not in
formed that he has any practical knowl
edge of railroad management.
Gov. Smilh made us a good Governor,
and is well known as a lawyer of ability,
but judged by the same rules that must
determine the fitness of men for any other
position, save that of railroad commis
sioner for Georgia, he is as much out of
place as Mr. Wadley would be upon the
bench of the Supreme Court. These
men are vested with almost supreme
power, in determining questions that
come before them. No railroad can con-
'test their decrees without incurring heavy
penalties. They are at once legislators,
executsoneis and judges. If we admit
all that is claimed for them, then on rall-
road.matters their ppwers are legislative,
executive and judicial. Where did they
get this wide range of power? I am not
a lawyer, bat I fail to - fiud authority fir
it in the constitution ot the State. I fail
to discover their authority—if that author
ity is traced to its source—to do more
than prevent unjust discriminations, and
extortionate rates.
The right of appeal to the United States
courts is one that any citizen of another
State can make at any time for the adju
dication of his rights. It is no new thing,
and the question oj State. - rights has
nothing to do with it, and the principle is
not violated by it. ■
If State sovereignty can erect a despot
ism, so far as a. specific interest in this
State 'is concerned, and lodge supreme
and irresponsible power in a triumvirate,
what will prevent an application of the
rule to other interests, and in the end to
all, and under the specious plea of pro
tecting the people, dissolve every interest
on which the development of the State aud
the foundation of its industries depend.
The theory upon: which this whole busi
ness depends ignores the chartered rights
of every raiiroad in the State; violates
the plighted faith of the State, made to
'the different companies, when the entire
people were anxious to have the roads
built; destroys the value of fifty millions
of property, owned largely by the frugal
classes of odr own people; warns capital
hot to come under the ban of this diluted
communism, whiph, by practice, if not
intent, is making property a crime. If
the principle were right the policy is so
manifestly wrong that its adoption in a
State of Geoigia’s possibilities is crimi
nally suicidal.
Born and reared upon the soil of this
State, one of a generation .whose star
seems to have risen on an evil sky, -I can
but deplore this whole business as a stain
upon the honor and a reflection upon the
intelligence of her people. I believe the
good sense of our people will render the
permanent enforcement of this stupen
dous folly impossible, and in the end
consign to obscurity the men who, under
rating the intelligence of the masses, have
committed this crime against both their
honor and prosperity.

Two Elopements.—One day last
week a man at Fort Wayne, Indiana,
employed a young man to lay some car
pets. ,He was a handsome young man,
with a romantic cast of mind not at all in
harmony with carpet-laying. He met the
daughter of the house, who also had a ro
mantic streak and an admiration for
handsome young men, which, it seemed,
was as likely to absorb a carpet-layer as
anyone else. • She fell awfully in love
with the carpct-layer we are speaking of—
or, rather, she believed she had done so.
He fell just as awfully in love with her,
and, being very romantic, she didn’t take
the trouble to inquire anything about tho
carpet-layer. lie was just too beautiful
for anything, and so romantic; and that
was all that was required to make a good
husband. The young woman agreed to
marry him almost on sight.
She did not even say anything to’ her
father about it. fearinp that, hiv might tut
willing, and thus frustrate her romantic
little schemes for an elopement. She had
her tender young heart so set upon sliding
down a' rope from a back window that
she couldn’t bear to think of being disap
pointed. Well, of course, she had her owp,
romantic way about it; the programme'
was carried out in a charmingly romantic
fashion and the carpet-layer and the
young woman got away to Indianapolis
and were married before the situation of
affairs was suspected. The young woman
concluded it was just lovely. Three days
after that there was another elopement.to
which the romantic young woman was
not a party. Her husband gathered up all
her jewelry and what little money she had
and went away to find another romantic
girl to elope with. The young wife has
gone back to her papa and very likely ia
a week will be making arrangements to
fall into the clutches of another good-
looking carpet-layer. Ever so many girls
grow up that way.
