We Told Teu So l" The Herald of Wednesday devotes its leader to a friendly remonstrance with Conkling and Cameron, which it charac terizes as a “me told you so.” We told you, long ago, that this third term specu lation wouldn’t begin to do—that the peo ple would not follow you in it, and now you are like tho militia captain at the head of the 4th of July ^procession—too full of his own importance to look back— still marching on, while the procession has turned down a side street and you are strutting ahead in all the imposing dig nity of solitude. It is an awkward state of things for you, and the sooner you get out of it the better. Old Simon would not have made such a blander as you have done. He first as certained which way the people were go ing, and then putting himself at their head, figured as popular leader, while, in fact* he was a mere follower. You have set out to lead the people in a road they never fancied or thought pf, and to “shoo 1 them into it like a flock of sheep with your flap-doodle machine. But now yon see how it is I .The sheep won’t take the road, and the most of them who, do take it jump the fence. You are in a bad fix, Mr. Conkling. You are cutting a very ridiculous figure, Mr. Don. Cameron. We dislike to say so, but your syndicate is making a black Fri day of it. Old Simon would not have been caught in such a trap as this. But you are young, and permit me to insinu- ate, in the most delicate way in the world, you are slightly green. , And now there is but one chance for you. Your situation may be aptly char acterized by that of the Florida hoosier, who returning from a hunt, found his cabin burnt and Jus whole family scalped, and tomahawked by the Indians. “Now ” says he, “ain’t this ludikerous l” Yes, it is ludikerous. And the only chance left for you is to throw Grant overboard and come out at once for Hamilton Fish. That may pull you out of this kettle offish, And fish, gentlemen, is a fine diet brain food, which you so much need. You are in a bad situation.- Old Simon would not have been-caught in such a trap. We give only a free interpretation of the Herald’s loving remonstrance. It loves Conkling and Cameron; but then, bless your souls, what can be done for men who get such cranky notions into their head about leading off fifty millions of people by a road they never traveled and for a hundred years have refused to take! Think of it I Can even fish save them ? Catfish won’t and can’t,or can’t and won’t. (Put it as you like.) Codfish might do It if the weather were dry. The great an cestor of Fish, so they say, was found in a salt mackerel, and so denominated “Pre served Fish,” and rose to glory. But can fish save'Conkling and Don Cameron? That’s the question, brethren. same conversation, De Golyer Garfield is reported as saying that the existing elec toral machinery is “completely worn oirt.” The American people should make it their business to demonstrate that this is a mistake. -« —ilr.. Tilden a Candidate.—The New York Tribune says a conversation took place Friday last between Hon. Samuel J. Tilden and a well-known law yer, whose relations with Mr. Tilden are most confidential. Mr. Tilden is asserted to have said that he would be a candidate before the Democratic convention, no matter who might be named at Chicago by the Republiccan party; that while he had not formerly intended to be a candi date, except in case of the nomination of General Grant at Chicago, he had now re solved to be one in any event, and that Mr. Payne, of Ohio, would be his choice for Vice-President. ™ ‘ —The committee having In charge the reception of General Joseph E.

The man who fconducted a retreat of’ hundreds of miles fox' weeks and months as if it were a triumphal march of a victorious army and led hi? foeman ad vancing in defeat, preparing victory be was never allowed to reap, is the idol of Tennessee in peace as he was the idol of her soldiers in war. —In his sermon last Sunday, Dr. Tal- mage says, ,{ l believes in revivals. The great work of saving men began with three thousand people joining tho church In one day, and It will close with forty or a hundred million people saved In twenty- four hours, when nations shall be born in a day. I have noticed that those who are ■brought into the kingdom of God through revivals hare more persistence and more determination in the Christian life "than those who come in under- a low state of religion. People horn in an ice house may live, but they will never get over 1 the cold they caught in the ice house.” So, it seems that the Doctor does not take kind ly to refrigerated Christians, and, really, there isn’t much virtue in a religion that has to be packed in ice. Miss Norwood, a lady iu the Amcri "an mission at Swatow, has given some in teresting particulars as to feet distortion in China. This abominable barbarism is determined by locality rather than by the rank and wealth of those who practice it. Itis vehemently opposed by the dHakkas, And where people of this province—who, happily for Chinese women, seem to have nomadic habits—settle it begins to disap pear. Of the women attending the mis sionary schools In Swatow Shout sixty per cent, have their feet bound. The binding does not take place until after the child ‘has learned to walk. The pain is intense when the process is performed in the case of au adnlt, and a source of dreadful dis comfort in any case, yet the desire to have small feet is so Intense that girls will slyj ly tighten their own bandages, in spite of the pain. This binding, the Chinese themselves admit, often produces, among other evils, blindness. Education for Girls. The season of the year draw? nigh when there will be' numerous exhibition? of what our girls have acquired during" the past scholastic year. We are frank to confess that this period never approaches but what it brings with it serious appre hensions and oppressive thoughts. The education of woman is qo longer a debat able question, but the extent to which it is carried," and the manner in which it is Folitioal Assessments. There never was a more iniquitous practice inaugurated than that of assess ing employes of the government for po litical purposes. This is really an out growth of the degenerate times when Rad icalism, held fall away iu every depart ment.. The stench of this crime had be come so offensive even to Radical nostrils that Mr. Hayes endeavored to remove it. The statute of 1S70 seemingly met the de. mand, and perhaps it would had not the -£t«J committee*Wv been examining into this question known as the Wallace committee. The Republi can members of that committee are con gratulating themselves that the Demo crats did not actually prove that the law ,of 1876 had been violated, because none of the executive officers or employes of the [United States had demanded any astesf- ment. u& • * -■ >• -..a Most of the assessments made two years, ago, were done by the members of the na tional Republican committee, who wore not amenable to that law, but the effect, was, nevertheless, the same. The employes knew too well the power that these men ■wielded over those to whom they were in debted for their*positions, and these assess ors would make their resentment felt. If it is. desirable to discharge an official, ib accomplished, are questions that divide the public mind, and'are discu&ed by the . y , »*, - 'rarely if>ever happens that soma excuse thoughtful educator with a great deal of ^ L „„ i„ tn wWpl — — Ann! A «• nUo TT apprehension. An aide writer on this point says that the standard of girls’ edu cation, whether in secondary or in elemen tary schools has bfen placed unduly high. In this opinion he is sustained by parents, doctors and school teachers, and. the facts brought forwardln support of this position seem to be beyond dispute. There is much more danger In over taxing the strength of the girl than that Of the boy, because the brain power of the girl is developed earlier and is stimulated by a greater degree of nervous' energy. In fact, in trying to accomplish what the boy aims at, she brings twice the amount of eagerness that the boy displays. In spite of all that ihe advocates of equality of the sexes have adduced, it is lamdntably dem onstrated that women are not the equals pf men as regards physical strength. And what is true of women compared with men is still more true with girls as com pared with boys. When th<*y endeavor to do the same amount of study, and then contribute doubly tho amount of mental strain to the effort, the inevitable result will be*seen in some form dr. .another of physical or mental disease. Tlie exces sive mental strain always brings with it a corresponding mental exhaustion as well as physical prostration. This is.painfully evidont in the fragile constitutions of too many of our Southern women. Wo would not be understood for a mo ment to be opposed to the education of the girls. That is a necessity beyond all question. We only deprecate the over taxing of their strength. More time ought to be given them for the accom plishment of this important preparation for life. The idea that the average girl of sateen can fully master the problems in the higher mathematics or comprehend the complex questions of mental and moral philosophy^ which they are sup- pored to. do before graduation, i3 simply ridiculous and a grievous mistake. It is both unjust and unfair to the girl to pre tend that she has mastered all these. It places her at great disadvantage before the world,‘and often renders her ridicu lous in the eyes of society. Spare the girls. ti •-i The State Lunatic Asylum. The imposing original structure of brick was not “colored,” but coeered by a mastic stucco, like that which originally covered the fine residence of Mr. Wm. B. Johnson, in this"city; and it met the same fate. When first put on it solidified into a flint^substance, which would strike fire from a trowel; but, after some months of exposure, softened and disintegrated un der atmospheric influences, and then be gan to crumble and flake off. Something like the substance with which our own court house is dressed, and which remains unchanged in character after so many years, should be applied; but it should be of a different color—something not darker than a light drab. The crumbling off of the stucco imparts an air of decay to the exterior of this fine edifice, which should be removed.' Otherwise, the loss of the stucco is of no particular consequence. Notable in. the interior of the premises is the lively and homelike" air imparted by the little household decorations,applied principally, as we suppose, at the instance of Mrs. Brown, the matron. This lady seemed to be the impersonation of a live ly, cheerful, all-pervadiDg activity. The patients call her “Little Mother,” and she seems born for the position she holds—at tractive and indefatigable, apt, patient, conciliatory. Every rcoin of the hundreds occupied had its little decorations—inexpensive,but shedding an air of comfort on all the sur roundings. The number of them might be laigely Increased, much to the benefit of the patients, many of whom take great pride iu the appearance' of their rooms. Mrs. Brown requested some of the ladies of the party to send hex such wall pic tures, brackets, rugs, mats,, etc., as they were willing to spare for this purpose, and it would be a good work. Many a house hold has such things thrown aside, which are still pretty, and could be of great use for this puipose. Books, pamphlets and newspaper® would also be usefhl. The institution ought, in fact, to have a libra ry of entertaining, popular literature, for the use of patients, whose time will, in spite of all efforts, often bang heavy on their hands. Few of-these people who do not feel all the local attachments to home, family and friends of which the entirely sane are conscious. They are homesick—impa tient of the kindest restraint—longing for individual volition as to time and place, ordinarily a3 much as others. The mild er cases are apparently sane most of the time, and are pining for home and friends. The institution is pretty well provided with the means of amusement. There are pianos and billiard and baga- telle tables. They have frequent religious services—social gatherings—dances—his trionic performances and such like, and every effort is made' to keep up cheerful ness and activity; but that, after all, it is a batff thing to do. The visits of the dis creet are no doubt helpful. The introduction of an ample water service has been a great improvement and convenience, so that the management can hardly tell how they once got along with- EDITOBIAL CORRESPONDENCE. Cuthbebt.

Conkling.—Sena tor Conkling to-day, says the Baltimore Sun Washington correspondent, expressed as much confiden« as ever in Grant’s nomination, and said there never had been so niuch’stupendous and colossal lying as was daily resorted to by those who were trying to prevent the inevitable. He said he was not at all surprised at the defection of the New York State Senators who are members of the Chicago delegation from -that State, as he had been expecting it for some time. He did not seem to attach much consequence to it. The Albany Fate.—This exhibkion will open on next Wednesday, and con tinue three days. It promises to bo one of the finest displays ever made in south west Georgia.

We learn, however, that the Staio has asked for further time, and the case will be postponed until some time in June. In the mean time the newspapers will be filled with arguments pro and con as to the merits of the question. Don Cameron has discovered that ha is not Simon Cameron. A refractory- delegate has astonished the. Don worse than ever Oliver Twist the Beadle whea he asked for more, by declaring that will have no more of Grant in his. Railroad BilL . Editors Telegraph and Messenger:— Corporations, by the Taws of Georgia, are divided into two classes—public corpora tions and private corporations. Railroads are embraced, under the latter head, and are private corporations. And, as suclffpri- vate corporations, so far as the law of tho issue between the commission and the railroads is concerned, tho railroads are nrivata persons. lbtn cuSpim ui ’>»*o-»<L_ooavirations in the mentanes under tho u...i . of persons.” Judge Lumpkin, in tnS'XWS and iu the 24th volumes of Georgia^ Re ports, declared upon many high authori ties that private corporations are private persons. And the code of Georgia recites that the word person includes a corpora tion. So, it may be 'safely asserted th3t, in all matters of contract between the government and a private corporation, or between a citizen and a private corpora tion, or between one private corporation, and another, sucli private corporation is to be considered*within the limits of its char ter and acting thereunder a private per son, that is to say a private citizen. But it has been suggested that, because railroads dejil^with the public and, are created apparently for public benefit, they are therefore to a limited extent public corporations. In the popular meaning of the. term, nearly every corpor ation is public, inasmuch as they arc cre ated'for public benefit. Yet, unless the' whole interest belongs to the government, or if the corporation is not created for the administration of political, or municipal power, it is by.the express enactment of the code a private corporation. ' The code of Georgia furthef 1 declares that‘-IP the object-of-incorporation be for public convenience, yet a corporation so created shall’be a private cqrporatiqn- Bo, the doctrine contended for by the advocates of the railroad bill is opposed by a statute hi force at the passage of the bill, and which was not repealed by the bill. /■< • Those advocating,the bill, say the pub; lie is interested in railroads, and therefore the public has a right to fix the compen sation of rtulroads. But is not the public interested in' all other corporations ? Is not the public interestedjn manufacturing corporations of every class; in fact, is not the public interested in every enteiprlse established in the commercial world, in every shop, in every business that invites public custom?,,, jlfcrebants deal with the public; so do shoemakers and tailors; are they therefore public, and can the public fix their compensation? The true rule by which to classify corporations, is this: If the power conferred by the charter which the corporation is to use in the en joyment of its franchises, is public power, then the corporation is public; if the pow er is private, then. the. corporation is-pri- vatc. , . . ■ ;-jo loafidii'ukifiA If the position assumed by the writer then is correit in lavf, the legislation in question is nothing less than a bold asser tion of. absolute power by the State to control at its discretion the property and business of tlie citizen, aud fix the com pensation lie shall receive. Our whole commercial existence must retrograde five hundred yfcara,And* all. of our industries must be remanded to despotic and arbi trary regulations of sumptuary customs. The profits of labor must depend upon the will of legislators, who, to be charitable, are not always well xereed .either in the habits of labor or tlie results thereof. Such a doctrine is so monstrous, that even the conservatism of A legal discus sion can scarce be restrained from swell ing into indignation. The men who seek to uphold this law can scarcely bo called good citizens, for they attack the freedom of the commonwealth.*' That government can scarcely’be deemed .free whers^the rights of property are left dependent sole ly on tlie will qf a legislative body with out restraint.

THE CROP AND FRUIT , pUTLOOK IN ■ SOUTHWEST GEORGIA. Heavy rains have fallen during the past (fortnight throughout this portion.of the State, and vegetation of every kind is in tbe most flourishing cpnditiop. The stands rif corn arid cottori'are exceptionally £ood, and “chopping 1 out” is Dow the order of the day. All 'the labor reserves of tbe country, including negro women, small boys and the loafers about the to wns have been’subsidized, abd ard making forty cents a day and tbei¥ “grab.” The grass, too, is springing rapidly and a I basy agri cultural campaign ta inevitable. But tbe people seeni in . f ,’* ' GOOD He‘a£T AND CHEERFUL, ‘ though it is sad to note the small area of corn as compared with the almost limit less cotton fields which stretch far away on every side. The' com, however, is un usually pretniaing, and oafs have, im proved most wonderfully. The wheat will prove almost a total failure. Of peaches, tbe supply will certainly be very meagre. Seedlings may yield possi bly a half crop, but the grafted fruit can not produce one fourth of an average,if in deed as iripch as that. This is a great ca lamity/m the farmers, we are pleased to say, are beginning to make ' fruit an im portant item in tfiefr clops. The meeting of the State Agricultural Convention in this place last February,was not tmproductive in'practical residtA. Our up-country friends were astonished at the fertility of. the soil and the .beallhfulness of tbe climate in southwest Geoigia. As a consequence, DE. HAFF, OF ATLANTA, has purchased land in Randolph comity and-plaated. two hundred acres in. fruit trees. We saw his young orchard which Is located near Ward’s Station, and ap pears to be in a thriving condition. The doctor Intends to enlarge his operations, and doubtless others from the up-country will follow hi# example. A BIG VEGETABLE ^GARDEN. THe writer was most hospitably enter tained by his friend Colonel Herbert Fielder,who, baring retire ! from politics, is devoting himself to the far more agree- ble duties of his profession and, like Cin- einnatns of old and General Israel •Put nam, may be found auy morning, hoe or rake in bind, digging among his vegeta bles. The colonel has the largest arid finest private kitchen garden we ever remem ber, to have seen. The area cannot be much short offive acres, and it is literally stocked and crowded with fruits and veg etables. Tbe corn, six feet high, was in full silk and tassel, tomatoes as large as hickory nuts, squashes, lieets and snap beans ripe and in tbe greatest profu sion, cabbages rapidly heading,okra ready to bloom, Irish potatoes fully matured and of extra size, encumbers, melons,can- taloupes, collards, lettuce, etc., all in the most advanced stage of progress, besides any quantity of strawberries, and an invi ting promise of peaches, pears, apples, apricots, and long grape arbor vistas thick ly hung with lien clusters. All this is for bis private use, though we beard a Polk county man declare that the vegeta bles alone were worth a THOUSAND DOLLARS in any market in the country. From tbe offal of this garden Col. Fielder feeds two milch cows, that supply bis family with an abundance of delicious butter. Tbe SUMMER TIME a family could subsist comfortably, with the smallest modicum of meat and bread- stufis thrown in. THE FEELING CONCERNING RAILWAY ■ COMMISSION. The injunction case of the Savannah, Florida and Western railroad now pend, mg, is fast attracting the attention of the press and people of the whole common wealth. We were surprised to note the reaction that is going on iu public opinion upon the utility of the railway commission. All are agreed that the gentlemen who com pose that body are unexceptionable and exemplary in everyway. But many a “®S® that tbe sebenie is utterly impracti- We heard one gentleman assert that he did not believe if the commission included Tom Scott,Vanderbilt and New comb with the Archangel Gabriel to pre side over them, that they could devise a tariff of freights that could be adapted to, and made uniform on all the railroads of Georgia. His aigument was, that no two roads were of equal length or cost the same, nor was there any parallelism in - their operating expenses. Hence, the im possibility of having one rate for all. It begins to look as though the at acre- ating the commission .will either be re pealed or essentially modified at the next session ef the legislature. Perhaps too much was attempted under the present law_. If the duties of the commission were limited to the prevention of discrimina tions of any kind on the railroads, the task would be far easier and more acceptable 'to the people. As the matter stands theirs is no “bed of roses.” The members of tbe Georgia press will carry away with them the liveliest recol lections of tlie abounding hospitality and kindness of the good people of Cuthbert. Nothing was left undone to promote the comfort and happiness of every editor, and, from first- to last, they were enter tained without money and without price. Our space is exhausted, but not the notes and pleasant memories of this delightful re-union of the fourth estate in South western Georgia. H. H. J. A Hr* in DcOIvcVopvra House Sev eral Heaths Probable. The following account of a terrible ac cident in Atlanta, we clip from tha Con stitution: Yesterday afternoon at three o’clock, Jut before the matinee performance of Paradise and the Pert at DeGive’s, while a group of eight or ten young ladies cloth ed in flowing white robes, with wings at tached, representing angels, were standing in the dressing room preparatory to going on the stage, the combustible costume of one of them took fire from a gas jet burn ing in the room. In turning round she set fire to another, and tbe two, realizing their . terrible situation, rushed froin^tlie dress ing-room, and in passing out communica ted tlie flames to three others. In a mo ment the performers, of whom there were upwards of fifty, were thrown into tho wildest terror, w The five burning girls, frantic from fright, rushed screaming about tbe stage. Four of them were heroically seized by the gentlemen performers and the work ers behind the scenes, who by wrapping them in coats and rolling them upon tbe floor extinguished tbe flames. The fifth lady, "however, enveloped in a full blaze, dashed across the stage, passed out at the back door, down two flights of steps, into the street. Reaching the sidewalk she was seized by three gentlemen, one of whom placed liis hands over her mouth to prevent herfiom inhaling tlie flames, which rose above her head, while the. other two stripped off her flaming costume and folding her in coats, bore her almost insensible from fright into a store under the opera house* 'Her life was thus saved. The names of the fair victims are Miss Maggie Chapman, daughter of Dr. For ster Chapman, formerly of Columbus. She is horribly burned, and lies in a most critical condition. Mrs. Abbie Hammond, late' of Baltimore; she is dangerously burned. Misses Katie Magrant, visiting Ellis their homes in carriages and upon litters." * - it is-lhe rimst harrowing accident which ever happened here.
