^T' ■ ' 5s*Pk§? GEORGIA PRESS. Tint Augusta Neics announces that tlie Georgia railroad convention which meets in Augusta next week, will draw immense crowds to that beautiful city. While stockholders ride free, the News says Col onel Dorsey has arranged special round trip rates for a general excursion over the Georgia road from Atlanta, Athens, Macon, Washington, and all stations on the line to Augusta on May 9th, 10th, 11th and 12th. Only one fare will be charged and return tickets may he had at all ticket ofllces. These special tickets will be good to return by any train up to and including the 5:80 p. m. train of Thursday, May 13th, after which they will be void, The temperance boom in Savannah con tinues with unabated interest, and is re ceiving the encouragement of the most prominent and enterprising citizens, as • well as the co-operation of nearly all of the church organizations in the city. And the following item from the Recorder is evidence sufficient that the reform club’s mission is not yet ended A young white man was picked up out of the gutter last night, on Bryan street, and taken to a place of shelter by a hu manitarian. The rain was falling very heavily at the time, and the young man was paralyzed with liquor and had been evidently ejected from a saloon, The Columbus Times of Thursday, says the Grand Lodge of A. O. W., clos ed a most interesting session in that city on the day before. They meet in Albany, Georgia, on the first Tuesday in May,1881. The following are the Grand officers for the ensuing year: S. J.Peacock,-Columbus, Ga., G. M.; J. II. Hunt, Bamesville, Ga., G. F.; B, F. Ludwick, Huntsville, Ala., G. O.; E Burke, Araericus, Ga., G. K.;W. S. Crane, Borne, Ga., G. Keceiver; J. C.

J. Moses and N. J. Bussey were elected as Supreme Lodge representatives. Cochran EnterpHse: A new game of fifteen has started in Macon. The way they play it is to take a drink of whisky every fifteen minutes until the twelfth drink is swallowed, and then to get the . 13, 14, 15, iii regular rotation is the rub. This editor speaks by the book. After wrestling with the problem about twenty- five hours, he swore it never could be - done. Rome Tribune: Since our article of yesterday appeared, stating that twenty families had clubbed together for the pur pose of getting white servants from the North to take the place of some of the lazy, shiftless, unreliable negroes, a good deal of talk has been made upon the sub ject, and we now verily, believe that one hundred good, trustworthy, white cooks and house servants, would find lit tle difficulty in finding pleasant homes in Rome. At least, this is the general tenor of the way housekeepers talk, and this sentiment is decidedly on the increase. They are tired of constant changes, with out notice, to say nothing of a multitude of other evils well-known to housekeep ers, who are eager for a change. As be fore stated, Mr. Francis Fontaine, of New York, will supply all applicants. Savannah News: The Savannah, Florida and Western railway have noti fied their employes of a reduction of wages from five to ten per cent., to take effect in fifteen days. So much for the State railroad commissioners and their re vised tariff. TnouASvnxE Enterprise: Hon. Jas. 31. Blount has published a letter declin ing to he a candidate for re-election to Congress. Mr. Blount does this in the face ol the fact that he would probably have been re-elected without opposition. It is a misfortune to Georgia to lose the services of such an able, working and in fluential representative. Lumpkin Independent: Considerable excitement was created among the colored people last week occasioned by the report that the grand jury would indict all ne groes who were living together as man and wife and who had never been mar ried under a license from the ordinary. The excitement ran high and negroes who haa been living together thirty years and had grown families obtained license and were duly joined together according to law. McDuffie Journal: On Thursday night last about half past ten o’clock, Mr. John R. Wilson, who is the railroad agent at Mesena, was stricken with paralysis. He was brought down to Thomson on Friday morning and carried to his resi dence where he is lying very ’ much im proved. Augusta News: A very serious acci dent was narrowly escaped last night by Mr. W. B. Lawson, a gentleman of New York, who, while occupying a berth in the Georgia railroad sleeping coach, was rudely disturbed, a few miles this side of Litlionia, by a heavy rock crushing in the window and falling over him. Mr. Law- son narrowly escaped personal injury by this wanton and criminal act. Jesup Sentinel: On Wednesday, April. 28th, Tinney Dossen, colored, was bitten S a rattlesnake and died next morning. • was employed on the farm of Mr. D. S. Carter, Haslam, Ga., and had been plow ing, but left the plow to go for a drink of water. On his way back the snake bit him. Dossen killed the snake, which was about five feet long and had ten rattles and a button. Savannah News: Two young ne crocs, named Louis Clark and Adolphus Crevalier, were foolishly engaged yester day afternoon In handling a loaded pistol in .-hop on. the corner of Jefferson and Congress streets, when the pistol, which was in the hand of Crevalier, was acci dentally discharged, and the ball made a furrow" on the skull of Clark, passing through the scalp on the side of the head and rebounding trom the wall of the shop fell to the floor, flattened by contact with the thick skull of the wounded negro. The wound inflictedus not dan gerous, being a mere flesh wound, and the boy was taken home, where he received medical attention. Perry Home-Journal: On Tuesday evening Mr. J. E. Haslam, with liis wife and baby, and nurse, in the buggy with him, left the house of Mr. A. Marshall,his father-in-law, just after a heavy rain cloud appeared in the west. He .had not gone more than half a mile before both of his horses were knocked to the ground by a stroke of lightning. Everyone in the bug gy was stunned, but fortunately and al most miraculously, it seems, all escaped any positive injury. The horses recovered from the shock in a short while, and the partyjetumed to Mr. Marshall’s. Nothing about the buggy was broken except por tions of the harness, and the falling of the horses did that. The horses have fully recovered. Caf.tersyille Free Press: Col. Jno. P. Brooks, of Cherokee county, Ga., and wife, are both eighty-five years old, there being but four days difference between then' ages. They have eleven children living and two dead. The oldest one, Mr. W. C. Brooks, who is sixty-six years old, lives in this (Bartow) county. The prog eny of this old couple foot up to 209 children, grand and great grand children, and a great great grand child. Mr. John P. Brooks, the patriarch, lias filled every civil office from constable to legislator. He was bom on the ocean in the old govern ment ship, known as the “Old Volunteer Ship.” Ferry Home Journal: A prominent farmer who lives in the Wellborn’s Mill neighborhood informs us that the leaves of the oak trees near his home are being stripped by what he calls the “oak worm.” This is the earliest appearance of any kind of caterpillar that we ever heard of, and our informant thinks the cotton cater- pinar will put in an early appearance this summer. G. C. Smith, Esq., on# of the editor* of the Ssuth Georgian, we understand, has retired from journalism and will devote ( such juries. his entirolime and attention to the practic of law. Mr. S. is a most estimable gen tleman, and we wish him much success. Hawkinsvtlle Dispatch: Mr. Ste phen Coleman’s little daughter was fa tally burned on Thursday morning, and died that afternoon after intense suffering. Mrs. Coleman left the little girl asleep, and had gone out of the house, when sho heard screams in the cook room. Rush ing in, she found the child’s clothing on fire, and enveloped in flames. The terrified mother grasped her child in her arms, and subdued the flames, not, however, until her own clothing had taken fire and her hands were badly burned. Mr. Coleman, who ran immediately to the assistance of his wife, found her clothing burning, and extinguished the flames with a bucket of water. It is not known by what means the child’s clothing took fire, as no one was in the room, and as the child had been left asleep. The April number of the Piedmont Air-Line Headlight is chock full of valua ble information as to where, how and cost of spending the summer at all of the sum mer resorts. This paper is managed by our friend Whidby, and is a credit to his genius. He honors the Telegraph and Messenger as well as Jack Plane, by copying an article, “Life at the Springs,” which appeared about a year ago in these columns. The Cutlibert Appeal publishes a list of delegates that have announced’their purpose to attend the Press Convention on next Wednesday in that city. There are sixty-three thus far reported, but none ^rom Macon. Atlanta Post: There is one great po litical party in' Georgia, the Democratic, and fragments of other parties, or rather factions. Among these are the Indepen dents, the black Republicans, the white Republicans, the office holding white Re publicans divided into the post-office and revenue rings, and the non-office holding white Republicans. It takes many differ ent kinds of men to make a great State like ours. Griffin Nests: Professor Link, who has been teaching a school in this city for several montlis, gave up his school yester day and returned to his home in Macon. He pleasantly renewed the acquaintances here of twenty years ago, and was very popular with our people. It is not un likely that he may return next fall. Brunswick Appeal: Mr. J. M. Dex ter, Secretary of the Fair Association, is working like a beaver for the fair. Not a stone is left unturned nor a point neglect ed. Capable, earnest and energetic, he is doing liis whole duty, and if the fair is not a success it will not be his fault. Atlanta Post: Late yesterday eve ning William and James Hackett were ar rested by Captain Connally and officers West and Rapp. These parties are said to be the men who made the midnight as sault upon Mr. D. L. Turner on West Hunter street, and an account of which was given the Post readers soon after it happened. Warrentox Clipper: “Oh, tliese- sliamed-faced feminines on the streets, with them masculine hats on!” exclaimed an old lady from the country as she turned around a prominent comer yesterday af ternoon. “It jest looks ez though they all wanted to he kissed by the boys, for that was the sign when I was a gal.” Colonel J. S. Johnson brought to our office yesterday, quite a bundle of very tall and full grown oats, perfectly ripe and ready for cutting. Who else can say as much? Gainesville Eagle: On Sunday af ternoon about the hour of four, a gloom was cast over our usually quiet city, by the announcement of the death of Mr. Aaron Welchel, one of our most enterpris ing citizens and business men. He had been lingering for many long and weary montlis, yet there was some hope of his recovery. But at last the sands of life were exhausted, and one more soul has been welcomed into the presence of God. Albany Advertiser: We are nnder ob ligations to Mr. W. C. Mathews, the clev er and efficient superintendent of Mr. John M. CutlifFs “Collier place,” about a mile and a half west of the city, for the first roasting ears of the season. "They are not very large, but are sufficiently matur ed for the table. These are the first roast ing ears we have seen or heard of this season. Griffin News: We regret to leamof the death of ex-Senator W. W. Mathews, of Fayette county, which occurred on Monday last. Mr. Mathews was a promi nent citizen and represented this district in the State Senate for four years, to the satisfaction of his constituents. His fami ly has our sympathy in their sad bereave ment. The Rome Tribune, speaking of the fireman’s parade, which takes place in a few days, says: Rome throws open her gates with char acteristic hospitality and bids everybody to come and welcome. We want to see you and grasp you by the hand and know you better. Come visit tlie Queen City of the South, and see how well her people can entertain yon. Come, everybody, and welcome. firemen’s dots. The Athens company is having their apparatus repainted for their visit to Rome. The Marietta boys are the worst crowd for winning prizes in the State. The Augusta companies claim the hand somest members. The Macon company’s uniform is hard to beat. The Rome hoys are drilling every day for the occasion. Reduced rates of fare are offered over all the railroad and steamboat lines. Albany Advertiser: Last night tlio sheriff of Worth county arrived in this city with a prisoner named Davis, and committed him to jail for safe keeping. It seems that Davis, in company with a man by the name of Newell, is charged with the murder of a man named Martin, at Peckville a few weeks ago. True bills were found against them by the grand jury last week, and Newell, being present gave bond in the sum of $2,500 for his ap pearance at the next term of the Superior Court. Davis was not there to make a bond, however, and he was accordingly arrested and lodged in jail as above sta ted. It is also said that this man Davis will have to answer some charges about some sneep. Griffin News: The writer was asked fL few days since by a curious individual, a stranger, if Griffin had any enteiprising citizens. His apology for asking the question was .that he saw no evidence of thrift, which was pretty certain to follow enterprise. He thought Griffin well lo cated, and rather prettily laid off, with fine native trees and pretty shrubbery, and could be made one of the loveliest places in Georgia; bnt that the citizens did not appear to feel an interest in their town, and were allowing it to go to de struction, and that in a few more years they would have no town. This was rather a hard prediction. We were not able to answer the question propounded, being comparatively a stranger ourself. Augusta Chronicle of the 7th in stant: The children of the Augusta orphan asylum proceeded to the city cemetery yesterday afternoon, in charge of their matrons and teachers, for the purpose of decorating the graves of Drs. Tuttle and Newton and Mr. Thomas Miller, their benefactors. This work of love was beautifully done. The orphaus’, section was also very handsomely decora ted. Savannah News: We are pained to announce the death yesterday, of Mr. C. C. Miller, well known in the community as one of our most sterling citizens. The sad event took place at his residence on Gaston street at 2:40 o’clock p. m., after a short illness of about five days. .The deceased had been identified with the mechanical department of the Central railroad for over forty years, for twenty years or more occupied the responsible position of master carpenter of that road, and during his long career as an employe of the company, receiving its entire confi dence in his skill as a workman, his zeal as an officer, and his integrity as a man. Thomasville PoM: The Commis sioners in session on Monday last, declined to pay the claim for the value of the mule killed in the capture of Berry Scroggins; also declined to pay the coroner’s jury; the law providing no compensation for Albany Advertiser: A street lamp exploded on Broad street in front of Gil mer & Stephen’s mill, last night. It burst the glass around the lamp and scattered the flaming oil around for eight or ten feet. Luckily there was nothing in reach of the burning oil" to catch fire, therefore - there was no "damage done to anything except the lamp. Cuthbert Appeal: We are gratified to learn from reliable authority, that the 27th annual commencement of Andrew Female College, to come off next month, promises to be as in the past, “a feastof reason and a flow of soul,” to our people. We understand that Col. B. Jeffries, of Atlanta, will deliver the annual literary address; Rev. David Wills, D. D,, of Washington city, will preach the annual sermon; and Hon. Samuel W. Goode, of Eufaula, Ala., will address the literary so cieties. “Our Hamilton” -is evidently wide awake. - Amebicus Recorder: Mr. J. T.Chap man, agent for Judge Rainey, of Schley, places upon our table a splendid sample of wheat. The seed, called “Australian,” were sent to the judge from the depart ment at Washington. If the judge’s en tire crop was of this kind, the little Rai neys would have more biscuit than they could destroy. Mebiwether Vindicator: Jack Wil son, a colored man living near the Sul phur Springs, owns a fine plantation of perhaps 1,000 acres, all paid for and is a most successful farmer. He is running this year eleven plows and has about twenty-five hands employed. Rev. David Alexander, a colored Bap tist preacher, living near Warnerville, has a fine farm and works a large force. His plantation is paid for, and his annual profits are estimated at from $1,200 to $2,000. Like Jack Wilson, his stock are well fed, well taken care of, and are as good as are to be found on any farm in the country. Sparta Times and Planter: The an nual election for town commissioners took place on Monday. This is the result of the balloting: Colonel C. W. DuBose, T.l C. Turner, Lafayette Powell, A. H. Bird song and S. B. SimmoLS were elected, Tlie new members had a meeting Wednes, day night and were qualified. Mr. La fayette Powell was elected president of the board, and Mr. Tobe - Stewart was made marshal of the town. Columbus Enquirer: The work on the Columbus and Rome railroad is pro gressing rapidly, although much time has been lost by the recent bad weather. It is confidently expected that Belmont will be reached by to-morrow evening. This will be quite a convenience to those wish ing to visit the springs during the sum mer montlis. Belmont will be the termi nus of the road for a short time only. South Georgian: Colonel Janies Boyd, of Montgomery county, who lives near Spring Hill, was engaged last week laying by a piece of com, which we learn is very fine and doubtless tlie best in thjs entire section. Colonel Boyd is seven ty-four years old and does most of his plowing himself. There seems to be a difference of opin ion between the editors of Quitman as to the “vagabond boys.” As we published the article from the Free Press, we now give the views of the Reporter; They, (the boys) we believe, are all at work in the county except one, who re turned to New York in a short time after arrivin'* here. It is also true that two others left and got as far as Savannah and there repenting of their sins, asked trans portation back, which was kindly furnish ed them by Mr. W. B. McKee, the chief clerk of the Savannah, Florida and West ern railroad, in the absence of Colonel Haines. They are nearly grown young men, hut returned and have been work ing, so we have been informed, for wages. Tlie only mistake, in onr opinion, that the society made was in sending these young men. ’ If they had confined themselves to boys only under sixteen years of age, there would not have been the least room whatever, for the misantiirope to have said a word, for the boys have done well and are doing well, and those with whom they found homes are highly pleased w*th them and want to see five hundred to one thousand more brought into the county. There will be an effort made to bring out another colony before a great while, and we trust without any expense to the plan ters. Those who wish to apply for them would do well to do so at once. From the Dahlonega Signal we learn that Mr. C. Farmer, of Union county, accidentally struck his two year old soil with a spade which he " was using, causing his death in a few hours. Also, that a daughter of Allen Ingram, of the same county, was caught under a falling tree and badly injured. She is now lying in a critical condition, with but little hopes of recovery. She is-about 17 years of age. The following are the members of the “Snapper Club”, from Macon: N. ‘T. Johnson, W. H. Jones, S. B. Haine3, who are now on their way to the Gulf. Mr. J. F. West, who killed a negro some time ago in Barnesville, has been refused bail. He is now in jail m Grif fin. j Gideon White, of Baker county, has been indicted by the grand jury for the murder of J. L. Ready, was found guilty, recommended to the mercy of the court, and is going to play insane. The Savannah News gives an interest ing account of the funeral ceremonies of Mr. C. C. Millar on Friday. 'Seven dif ferent lodges attended in uniform. Robert Ruffin, who has been on trial in Augusta for murder,‘was found guilty. Joe Scott for the same, was’ found guilty, but recommended to the mercy of the court, AHgusta Chronicle: Gen. E.P.Alex-" ander left for New York last evening, having been called to that city for a con ference on important business, with Presi dent Newcombe, of the Louisville and Nashville railroad. He will return Tues day morning, so as to be in time for the Georgia-railroad convention on Wednes day. Toccoa News: A gontleman coming by tlie colored academy last Tuesday eve ning, saw a number of little chaps playing in the bushes—as if they were hunting for some one, using sticks for guns, when he casually asked them what they were do ing, and received the reply: “We is playin’ rev’nue men hunting forlicker.” The following items are clipped from the same paper: The new college building is going up rapidly, and we are glad to state authori tatively that the board of trustees have se cured a sufficient amount of money to en able them to complete the building,which, when-finished, will be the pride of all north Georgia. . We have it from a reliable source that B. Roper has struck it richer than ever on his property near Auraria, each subse quent test proving better than its predeces sor. A pan full of dirt scoope’d up from sev eral different points on the lot shows gold freely, while the showing at one particu lar spot is immensely rich, giving strong evidence of something better just ahead. We will endearer to give our readers a more extended report of this new discov ery in a future issue. Atlanta Post: The negroes jn this State have forced the color line upon the white Republicans, and of course supe rior numbers alone save the Democrats from being over-ridden. Of course there is no fear now that tlie negroes will ever out-number it, but a division in the party might give them the power to make things unpleasant. Of course no such di vision i3 expected, but it is something to be guarded against. Georgia now turns up as a geld field. There seems to be nothing good that can not be found in Georgia, according to the reports which come from that happy land. —New York .Tribune. Henry County News: A printer named McElhany, of Griffin, has been adjudged a lunatic. He stole a horse, and his lawyer very Ingeniously plead insani ty to keep him out of the peniten tiary. There seems to have been a kind of method in his madness, though, if we may judge from bis latest freak. Augusta News: Dr. DeSaussure Ford, who was telegraphed for in Edgefield yesterday has just returned and Informs us that he cut into a very deep abscess in Mr. Glover’s thigh, which afforded him much relief, and he thinks he will cer tainly recover. He also visited Dr. Bland, ; and is doubtful as to his case. He seems to be vacillating between life and death, and by a very narrow cord is held to earth. The case of B. M. Zettler, superintend ent of the Macon public schools, suing the city of Atlanta for $10,000 damages, was non-suited. W. R. Hammond acted as judge. In February, 1878, Mr. Z., in re turning from the capitol, stepped asfde from the street and fell into an open area and fractnred one of his legs. Brunswick Advertiser, speaking of the railroad”commission, says: That which was gotten up for the benefit of the people seems to have turned out for injury. Under the working of the above commis sion, hardships are brought about that ’ cripple our industries, at least, so far as the Macou & Brunswick is concerned. Mr. Beck informs,u3 that under the new tariff, he can’t ship vegetables to Atlanta any longer, as his rates have been tripled or thereabouts. We hear, also, of com plaints by lumbermen along the road, We hope there will be some way to re lieve this difficulty so that our industries will not he hampered or crushed. Darien 'Gazette: , Grub’s head is level on more subjects than one, as the follow ing items will show: The Atlanta Constitution wants Hon. James H. Blonnt re-elected to Congress from the Macon district. So do we. He cannot be spared just now. Colonel Thomas Hardeman has writ ten a patriotic letter on the political sit uation in Georgia. We wish Georgia had a few more Democrats like Tom Hardeman. Onr city is occasionally visited by such intolerable nuisances as the picture catch which was so successfully manipulated here recently. All such concerns are very demoralizing to the peculiar class of people that form the bulk of eur population, and our authorities should protect them from such pernicious influences Tjy refusing in future to license such things. The city ordinances prohibit gambling and they should be rigidly enforced. We learn that the parties above referred to depar ted from Darien with more than $000 as the net result of about ten day’s opera tions here. This, of itself, aside from moral considerations, is sufficient reason for our authorities to refuse them the pro tection of a license for carrying on their dishonest practices. Yes; in the name of all decency, do not license any more of these devices. The good people of Da rien heartily agree with us in this matter. Quitman Reporter: The railroad commission has transcended their bounds in fixing up a general tariff to be applied to all roads alike. Their perogatives, it seems, were to adjust all complaints be tween shippers and raMroad companies and nothing more. Let ’em adjourn and return to their families; perhaps they are needing their valuable services more than the people do just now. , Seaport Appeal: Colonel Renfroe does not hesitate to say to his friends that he is in their hands for nomination or defeat, at the August convention, and we have no hesitation in expressing the hope and the belief that his administration of the State’: finances will be approved by. the plain, honest, square men of Georgia, by a tri umphant vindication in the convention and at the polls. The Railroad Commission. Editors Telegraph and Messenger:— The railroad commission, in their first semi-annual report to the Governor, have furnished the most conclusive proof—by their own statement—that railroad man agement requires peculiar talent and life long experience. They say: “Of the three commissioners, only one was by the act, supposed to be possessed of previous rail road experience, and so, to the majority of the board, the problems presented were not only difficult and delicate, but new. r This is a clear statement of a good ar gument against the appointment of the commission in tlie fust place, but, coming froin the commission itself, is a confes sion of the weakness and folly of the law, under which it was created. It seems, however ridiculous the proposition may appear, the intention of the Legislature, as defined by the commission in this ex tract I have quoted from their report, was to require as a qualification of all of its members but one, that they should abso lutely know nothing of the duties of the positions to which they were assigned. The commissioners in their report do not say that the act required this positive ly, but they do say “only one was by the act supposed to be possessed of previous railroad experience.” Such legislation is a disgrace to the State, In the government of so large an interest as our entire railroad system, it was an imperative duty of the State, if she felt called upon at all to. interfere, to place the supreme power she proposed to delegate to her commission in the hands of men prepared by an intimate knowledge of all the details connected with this interest to wield that power intelligently. I deny that there was any such necessity for the State to interfere, and assert that the people that paid the rates, according to my observation, did not ask for such in terference. Here are three men appointed by the governor, under an act of the legislature, to take absolute control of this vast prop erty, make rates, governing the transporta tion of all our products, and of every arti cle shipped out of or into the State; or from one point to another in the State; who confess at the outset, their entire ignorance of the entire business of which they assume control. Their confession is candid, and thus far commendable; but to tlie advocates of the scheme under which they were ap pointed, it must—if they have any regard for the conditions of legitimate success— be a great disappointment. No one will hope for any information establishing fair and equitable bases of rates as between people and the railroads, from these- or any other, set of men, who are so com pletely'in the dark themselves. The-law authorizing the. appointment of the commission—supposing, as per opinion of the commissioners, that only one of them should have any practical knowledge of the duties they were to as sume, their appointment by the Governor, in pursuance of the act, with special ref erence to their incompetency for the du ties assigned them, and their consistent course in their official capacity—illus trates the reckless ignorance and folly, that have characterized the agitation of State interference With the railroads from the first inception of the question to the present time. It illustrates also the fact that many of the members of out last legislature must have been chosen on account of tueir gen eral ignOraiice of the questions on which they were to act. To this fact, doubtless, tlie passage of tlie railroad commissioner’s law is attributable. This is the. class of men who have raised the cry of extortion, whose only qualification to determine, the question as to where the cost of transportation ceases, and profit begins, Is a profound ignorance of all the “difficult,” “delicate” and “new” problems connected with the whole business. They know nothing of the principles to be applied in determining what is a fair rate. This is a shameful showing, and to me is mortifying, but it is warranted by the facts. Macon.

Dr. Talmage, in a late interview with a reporter of the New York Herald, thus responded, when interrogated concerning his recent trip to the South: y ■ B “I would rather have sailed in the nec essarily slow old Constellation than in the grandest and swiftest of the modem steamships,” the Rev. Dr. Talmage re plied, rather evasively, when the Herald reporter asked him yesterday what politi cal observations he made in his recent journey in the South. “The old war ship’s vpyage is full of moral religious meaning—a meaning of ten fold greater importance than mere temporality. It reaches far into the future and makes any war hereafter between tho United States and Great Britain impossible. Indeed, all things that are going on at. sea—the coining of such a vast tide of immigration and‘the swiftened travel that is sending tens of thousands of Americans across the sea—are making us so much nearer neigh bors as t@ guarantee that such divisions as we have had in the past can never take place in the future. And the royal all hail that Britain’s representatives gave the Constellation yesterday is another evidence that a great humanitarian wave is sweeping the realms of civilization. It is the beginning of tbe end of wars be tween civilized nations—tlie dawn of the epoch in which nations shall settle their quarrels as individuals do—by each con ceding something. “But, Doctor, about what you saw among the leading politicians of the South?” the reporter interrupted, as tbe pastor of the Brooklyn Tabernacle was characteristically rising into a sphere of rhapsody. WHAT THE SOUTH WANTS. “That, my dear sir, was what I was leading up to. I wish that tbe American war ship which crossed the ocean armed with 500 tons of-bread for Great Britain’s famishing subjects could return loaded down with the English, Irish and Scotch workingmen, so many of whom I found in my travels in Great Britain to be ambi tious of homes in tho future America. I saw in Great Britain a necessity for great er facilities of transportation. A question shot at me every day from, men with a little money was, ‘What can I do in America? Can I start a little home of my own ?’ I noticed a different class of emigration from Europe from that to which I had been accustomed. It is not the idle, the lazy and the dissolute that are coming now; that class' is still supported by charity as it always was, Here let me give you a theory of my own; If the hand o'ftlie government of the Uni ted States, and the hand of the govern ment of the United Kingdom, could be joined in aiding emigration from the Brit ish Isles, England could be relieved and America enriched. If England would pay for transportation, and our country would receive the emigrants at onr wharves and transfer them to the West and to the South, both nations would be enormously benefited, and at practically not a cent of cost; for England would save it all inherpoor rates,and the United States would make up for it fourfold in a single decade: A few blind in the the East and the professional politicians in California pretend to be apprehensive of overcrowding by immigration. Why, sir, if you will travel to Des Moines or to Chattanooga—well, make ,a trip from Brooklyn to Montauk Point—you will see that our country is cultivated only in pro portion of a row of potato hills on the edge of a big farm. Now, this almost un precedented influx of workers from Eu rope is what is needed in the South. Southerners want more ploughshares— more intelligent fanners to drive them. Their rivers are all waiting for spindles and shuttles.” Never were truer wordi spoken. The South does, above all things, need a large influx of intelligent emigrants, who, with money in their hands, will purchase and settle our broad acres, now untenanted. Her magnificent water power, to be found on almost every stream of any size, only requires tbe stimulating touch of labor and capital to fill the land with the hum of industry and wealth. Population, hon est, laborious population, such as Scot land, Germany, Belgium, France and Great Britain are now sending forth by thousands, is the great want of this sec tion. Hence, the importance of wise and practical legislation, (not the farcical ac tion of the last general assembly), to give a proper boom to the immigration move ment. THE RENOWNED MEDICINE. The Greatest Cnratlve Saceewofthe —* A Voire from tbe People. No medicine introduced to the public has ever met with the success accorded to Hop Bitters. It stands to-day tbe best known curative article in the world. Itg marvellous renown is not due t6 the ad vertising it has received. It is famous by reason of its inherent virtues. It does all that is claimed for it. It is the most powerful, speedy and.effective agent known for the building up of debilitated systems. The following witnesses are of fered to prove this: What it l>id for an Old Lady. Coshocton Station, N. Y., Dec. 23, 1873, Gents—A number of people had been using your Bitters here, and with mark ed effect. In fact, one case, a lady of over seventy years, had been sick for years, and for the past ten years I have known her she has not been able to be around half the time. About six months ago she got so feeble she was helpless. Her old remedies, or physicians, being of no avail, I sent to Deposit, forty-five miles, and got a bottle of Hop Bitters. It had such a very beneficial effect on her that one bot tle improved her so she was able to take care of her own room and walk out to her neighbor’s, and has improved all the time since. My wife and children also have derived great benefit from their use. W. B. HATHAWAY, Agent U. S. Ex. Co. An Enthusiastic Endorsement. Gorham, N. H., July 14, 1879. Gents—Whoever you are, I don’t know; but I thank the Lord and feel very grateful to you to know that in this world of adulterated medicines there is one com pound that proves and does all it adver tises to do, and more. Four years ago I had a slight shock of palsy, which un nerved me to such an extent that the least excitement would make me shake like the ague. Last May I was induced to try Hop Bitters. I nsed one bottle, but did not see any change; another did so change my nerves that they are now as steady as they ever were. It used to take both hands to write, but now my good right hand writes this. Now, if you continue to manufacture as honest and good an ar ticle as you do, you will accumulate an honest fortune, and confer the greatest blessing on your fellow-men that was ever conferred on mankind. TIM BURCH. Bnty to Others. ’ Cbambersbuig, July 25, 1875. This is to let the people know that I, Anna Maria Krider, wife of Tobias Kri- der, am now past seventy-four years of age. My health has been very bad for some years past. I was troubled with weakness, had cough, dyspepsia, great de bility and constipation of the bowejs. I was so miserable I could hardly eat any thing. I heard of Hop Bitters and was re solved to try them. I have only used three bottles, and I feel wonderful good, well and strong again. My bowels are regular, my appetite good, and cough all gone. I feel so well that I think it my duty to let the people know, as so many knew how bad I was, what the medicine ba3 done for me, so they can curs them selves with it. ANNA M.

My wife was troubled for years with blotches, moth patches aud pimples on her face, which nearly annoyed the life out of her. She spent many dollars on the thousand infallible (?) cures, with nothing but injurious effects. A lady friend, of Syracuse, New York, who had had similar experience and had been cur ed with Hop Bitters, induced her to try it. One bottle has made her face as smooth, fair and soft as a child’s and giv en her such health that it seems almost a miracle. Member of CavatuavPabt.tamfvt. A Bleb Lsdj’s Experience.

It is a mystery how such-naturalization can be effected, as the law establishing the pro cedure says that its provisions “shall ap ply to aliens being free white persons, and to aliens of African nativity and to persons of African descent.” The law passed by Congress in 1SS0 to admit im migrants of negro blood to citizenship was expressly worded so as to exclude the Chinese, and when the discrimination as accidentally effaced m the prepara tion of the revised statutes, the Pacific coast representatives promptly called at tention _to it, and the error was among those corrected by the act of 1875, which as framed and passed for the purpose of remedying the defects which had been discovered in the codification. We have obliterated the color line as regards the black race, but still draw it on the yellow. The Western Chops.—Our western crop reports, in another column, says the New York Bulletin, reflect the beneficial effects of the late rains. From Kansas, the tone is changed from despondency to entire satisfaction with the prospect, and full crop in that State is now anticipated. From some sections of Illinois, there is more complaint than a week ago; but tbe prospects indicate at least a full average crop for that State. Iowa and Nebraska still complain of ungenial weather and ; xx>r prospects, especially the former State.

The dictates of fash ion, as well as the laws of health, alike favor a right application of hops. My mother says Hop Bitters is tlie only thing that will keep her from her old and severe attacks of paralysis and headache. —Ed. Oswego Sun. J: Don’t Use Stimulants.

I see a great many that need such a medicine. D. BOYCE. k Monroe, Mich., Sept. 25, 1875.
