FRIDAY, JUNE 25,1880.
Population of Chicago.—Chicago
is crowing over a population of 475,000,
and says she will be a hundred thousand
ahead of St. Louis. - , • ^
Db. James K. Barnum, of Stewart
county, Ga., has received notification
through an attorney that he has fallen
heir to an estate in England valued at
$100,000.
Currie, the murder-fiend of Texas,
has been acquitted on the ground of in
sanity. When a man becomes possessed
of the devil of murder, the safety of the
living demands, if not the treatment giv
en to a mad dog, certainly the chains,
grates and bars of a madhouse.
A Cool Week.—We close what has
been, on the whole, a remarkably cool
week to-day, Saturday, with promise of
warmer and perhaps wet weather. After
a day well in the -nineties, last Tuesday,
the mercury fell in the evening, and Wed
nesday morning indicated CO, Thursday
64, Friday 64, and Saturday morning CO
in some places.
During the recent trial of Currie for
the killing of Porter, the actor, at Mar
shall, Texas, the defense, according to the
verdict of the jmy rendered, proved that
it was whisky and not Currie that killed
Porter. It is about time 'that this insrjii-
ty dodge was banished from civilized
communities. It is the merest delusion
in the world. They ought to punish
whisky and Currie both.
Senator Bayard is a man of books
and diligent reading. It is said that his
library in his down-town office at Wil
mington, is a treasure-house of informa
tion ; and in conversation hut few men
can equal Mr., Bayard in copiousness of
illustration, graphic statement, or wealth
of reminiscence. He is one of the most
genial of men, and his courtesy is that of
the typical Southern gentleman.
Garfield is praying to be delivered
from his friends. He fled from Washing
ton to escape the irrepressible biographer.
They are represented as swarming to him
like flies to a carcass. Ho is wise in refus
ing to furnish material for a biography.
His past record is just what he wants to be
kept from the public. He is hiding out
somewhere in Ohio now.
The conversion of the Oglethorpe Echo
and its editor is chronicled in the follow
ing words from Larry Gantt himself. He
says of Gov. Colquitt, “Mr. Lester is our
choice for governor, for the reasons given
in our editorial columns; but we conceive
that this public tribute to one of Georgia’s
purest sons is due from a pen that has
Written many bitter criticisms on a man
whom we now feel has been most unjust
ly censured.” r
—It was dinner-time In a select board
ing-house when the new boarder arrived.
He was a venerable looking gentleman,
with silvery hair, and his face beamed
with a sweet repose betokening a pure and
holy life. As he joined the table the land
lady said: “Would yon ask a blessing,
sir?” The venerable stranger shouted,
“You’ll have to talk louder, marm; I’m
so d d deaf.”
Fob our part we woulcT suggest to our
daily friend, we would rather run a good
country paper—a fearless exponent of
truth an3 justice—than to run a half dozen
steam cylinder presses under the thumb
of Joe Brown or any other man.—Val
dosta Times.
Exactly our case, Charlie. But above
all else, we prefer to run a daily in accord
ance with our own ideas of propriety and
justness, without any regard to the sug
gestions of others.
“Vat You Tinks.”—Every paper
abounds with interviews and prognostica
tions about Cincinnati; but, as no two
agree, it is manifest that somebody is in
prophetic error. Cincinnati, we have -no
doubt, is to-day (Saturday) crowded with
convention people, who are speering about
and asking questions, and getting ready to
caucus, perhaps. The convention will not
meet till 12 o’clock Tuesday, and will
hardly get ready for the ballot before
Thursday. There will be no disposition
to hurry matters. . •
The Neus York Tribune, February 19,
1873, says: “James A. Garfield, of Ohio,
had ten shares; never .paid a dollar; re
ceived $329, which, after the investigation
began, he was anxious to have considered
as a loan from Mr. Oakes Ames te him
self.
“Well, the wickedness of all of it is that
these men betrayed the trust of the peo
ple, deceived their constituents, arid by
evasions and falsehoods confessed, the
transaction to be disgraceful.”

—Bismarck has lately been speaking
his mind with characteristic candor in
reference to Mr. Gladstone. His opinion
of the British Prime Minister is neither
flattering to that statesman nor assuring
to the nation whose interests he holds in
trust. But it is well known there is no
love lost between the man of blood aud
iron and his rival of the axe and pen.
Mr. Gladstone Is just as unreserved in his
views of Prince Bismarck as Prince Bis
marck is in his views of Mr. Gladstone,
and the great feature of their mutual
opinion is that it expresses a thorough
antipathy., ' ,
The Capitol Frescoes.—The joint
committee on the library on Wednesday
last, instructed Architect Clark, of the
capitol, to give the New York fresco ar
tist, Filippo Costlgini, a'tMarat complet
ing the allegorical belt in the capitol dome
left unfinished by the iate artist, Biumidi.
No money has been appropriated for con
tinuing this work, but the design is to test
the merits of Costigini, who is reported to
be a superior fresco worker, and who be
lieves he can complete the belt according
Lest Week’s Cotton Figures.
The Situation.
The New York Chronicle Teports the
receipts at all the ports for the seven days
ending last Friday night, 18th instant, at
19,870 hales, against 7,1S8 bales during
the corresponding week of; last year-
showing an excess in the week of 12,662
hales. The year’s receipts footed up last
Friday night 4.801,566 hales, against
4,414,010 last year, showing an increase of
880,956 bales.
The interior port business of the week
was as follows: Receipts of the week
6,764, against l,85Sthe same week of last
year. Shipments 24,621 against 5,012.
Stocks 90,190, against 29,300.
The Chronicle’s visible supply table
showed, last Friday night, 2,139,466
hales of cotton in sight, against 1,G17,14S
last year—1,894,711 the year before, and
2,401,060 in 1874 at same date. These
figures show an increase on the visible
supply of last year of 622,318 hales. On
the visible supply of the year before, 244,-
755 hales; and a decrease of 321,594 on
the visible supply of 1874 at the same
date. Cotton on Friday in Liverpool was
quoted at 013-16. The year before at
same date, the quotation was 615-16. In
1878, at same date, it was quoted CJ, and
in 1877 6 3-16.
The Chronicle appends the following to
its table of receipts from plantations:
The above statement shows—
1. That the total receipts from the
plantations since Sept. 1 in 1879-86 were
4,890,455 bales; in 1878-79 were 4,438,264
hales; in 1S77-78 were 4,237,241 bales.
2. That although the receipts at the
outports the past week were 19,850 bales,
the actual movement from plantations
was only 1,022 bales, the balance being
drawn from stocks at the interior ports.
Last year the receipts from the plantations
for the same week were 4,065 bales, and
for 1878 they were 4,693 bales.
Weather Reports.—TJ'he Chronicle's
weather telegrams of Friday from the cot
ton regions, report the situation, in gen
eral, as very favorable. As’to Texas,
Galveston had 1.06 of rain in the week
and cotton looks strong and healthy,
though some plantations are grassy.
Range of the mercury 73 to 91. Indiano-
lahad showers on three days—0.75 of
fall, and a range of mercury from 75 to
92. Corsicana, rain on two days—0.64 of
fall—and a mercury from 65 to 96. Bren-
ham had half an inch of rain—mercury
from 75 to 95—fislds grassy and corn
promises abuudant. Dallas 1.60 of rain
and a mercury from 65 to 96.
New Orleans, rain on four days, 0.30 of
fall—average mercury 81. Shreveport,
0.48 of rain—mercury 64 to 93. In Mis
sissippi, Vicksburg had rain -one day and
hears caterpillar rumors. Weather cool.
Columbus, 0.S3 of rain—mercury 82 to
89—weeds troublesome. Nothing from
Arkansas. Memphis had no rain—fields
clear and prospects never better. Nash
ville bad no rain. In Alabama, Mobile
reports 0.01 of rain—mercury 63 to 95.
Crop promising. Montgomery, -0.02 of
rain—mercury 63 to 98. Some talk of
caterpillars. In Georgia, Macon had rain
on one day and mercury from 68 to 95.
Savannah had no rain, and a merenry from
63 to 100. Augusta, 0.02 of rain—mercu
ry 63 to 99. Fields clean aud cotton plant
strong aud healthy.
The Chronicle makes the crop up to
June 11, 5,291,GOG against 4,837,422 last
year. This shows an excess over last year
up to June 11th of 454,274 bales, to which
should be added 83,000 bales excess at the
interior ports—making in all 537,274
bales excess. The Chronicle concludes
that the total crop will be about 5,675,-
000 hales, against 5,073,531 hales last
year—netting about 600,000 excess over
last year.
The Chronicle analyzes and compares
the reports of the agricultural depart
ment and New York cotton exchange on
the condition of the growing crop. The
agricultural department makes the ootton
acreage this year 13,612,978, and the cot
ton exchange makes it 13,744,620. Per
cent, increase according to the depart
ment, 7.30—according to the exchange,
8.39. The cotton acreage in 1879 was 12,-
679,962. The average increase, taking
these two estimates, is 998,790 acres.
needless improvements which only create
a greed for others still more needless--for
if Congress gives a hundred thousand dol
lars to remove obstructions from Dry
Creek in one county, the claims of Saw
dust branch in the next become impera
tive. The people want the money spent
in their neighborhoods, and the neighbor
hoods in a great country. are numerous. -
It is important and right that greet na
tional streams like the Mississippi should
be under the care of the general govern
ment—and so of great entrepots of for
eign and domestic trade; but it is easy, to
see the danger of waste from a river and
harbor hill which may easily become a
mere log-rolling scheme to empty the
treasury, so as to_ furnish excuse for a
continuance of exorbitant and oppressive
taxation, bearing most heavily ou those
least able to bear it. Given a country
whose wealth is locked up in two thousand
millions of bonds, wbiducannot-be taxed,
and whose poverty is represented In great
masses of taxpayers paying a hundred
per cent, tax on all they buy,on pleas that
the manufacturers of the country cannot
live without the bounty, and you have
a situation offensive to God and man,
and which clamors for change.
The Democratic National Convention
The convention met at a quarter to one
o’clock—got through with needful prelim
inary action and adjourned till 10 o’clock
Wednesday, in the course of 75 minutes.
The action to-morrow will he the reports
of the committees on organization, creden
tials, resolutions, the election of the
national committee, and then ballotings
for nominees.-
Tlie gossip sent by telegram makes it
pretty clear that up to three o’clock p. si.
there had been no marked concentration
ol opinion on candidates. That may take
place some time daring the day or night,
and very probably a free intermiugling of
delegates may-be the best way of produc
ing it. There is hut one leading idea
among all, and that is to select the best
aud strongest man.
There does not seem to be any obstinate
prepossession for any of the candidates;
but a notable Uncertainty on tiie point of
which one it is best to select—which one
will be most available. Bayard leads,
and has a vast moral strength in conven
tion as well as all over the country, but
we hardly count upon his nomination. It
will'be noted that Illinois still insists on
Seymour. All recognize the indispensa
bility of New York. In a word, there is
not yet the smallest apparent development
of the causes which will lead to a choice.
Congressional Legislation.
When Congress adjourns, after the long
session, with no important legislation ac
complishcd except the routine appropria
tion hills, and five to seven thousand bills
left hung up on the calendar, the public
cannot say how-much is lost or won; but
there is one thing the public is fairly au
thorized to say, that when Congress, be
sides its “appropriate legislation,” shall
undertake that of the States also, as the
Radicals propose to do, it will have more
on its hands than it can attend to. -di
all-sufficient answer to the brotherhood
who want the empire and to abolish local
self-government in (he States, might be
this: Don’t undertake the legislation of
forty States until you have measurably
cleared your own docket, and are ia dan
ger of getting out of work.
We do not say that Congress could not
do more; but there are two strong rea
sons why Congress doesnotdomore. iThe
first reason is applicable to the first half of
the session, and it is this: “There is.no
need of haste—we have plenty , of. time.’.’
The-second reason is applicable to the
last half of the session, and is, “In a few
days we shall adjourn, and there is no.
time to perfect any important measure.”
These two reasons cover the whole of ev
ery session, and unless there :are some
strong pecuniary or personal reasons to
suspend their Operations, they are.conclu-
jive anil fatal in every case. ,{ t . j.:
Upon the single subject • of the public
revenue, it may be said with truth, there
never was a time when every 'interest of
the country and of public justice and
equality of burdens of agriculture! trade
and commerce clamored so. loudly, for
sweeping reforms as now. The country,
in respect to tariff and -internal taxation,
is now, more than fifteen years after the
war is over, under a war fax, which, to the
extent of 1 its oppression op the people ( is
an anti-revenue tax. Nothing but the im
mense resources of our soil and the ener
gies of the people, coupled with short crops
in foreign countries, has counteracted
the strangulating effects of these tares,
which are much like , a serpent’s coil
around our necks. But the whole action
of Congress has amounted only to this: A
law providing for a commission of experts
to digest a new revenue scheme and report
to the next session. Everybody regards
this as a 8imple‘ evasioh!olr tiio subject,
amounting, practically, to indefinite post
ponement. This is one of those re Conns

Tflden’s Letter of Withdrawal
is a cogent statement of the great election
fraud of 1876 and its moral. The Repub
lican party (so-called) is committed to a
war of extermination on a free suffrage of
the American people. The empire has
been whipped out for the present, but
there is no hesitancy or doubt in their
declarations that the suffrage shall never
be free again. Tilden says he thought in
1876 it would take a two-thirds vote of
the people to regain control of the govern
ment, and wo may be sure it will take no
less now.
Mr. Tildetfs letter is not a peremptory
and unconditional withdrawal. He inti
mates his readiness, if needful, to devote
his remaining strength to an attempt to
restore the government to true republican
usages, but he says he is not strong
enough, and desires nothing so much as
to return to private life. The country
will read his letter with a profound im
pression of the transcendant importance
of the issue it presents.
Very Reticent
While the remoter organs of public in
formation are assured that Mr. Tildeu
will not be a candidate before the Cincin
nati convention at all, the quidnuncs in
and around New York are certain that
Mr." tilden has matured some stupendous
scheme by which v he will loom up before
that body in magnificent proportions, and
distance all competition. They saytliat
Mr. Tilden is like a mole. The whole fun
of the political hunt lies in its being un
der-ground. If he could not mystify and
bamboozle everybody around him, friend
and foe alike, lie would take no pleasure
in life. When Mr. Tilden gets to the
White douse, there will be such a de
lightful uncertainty as to what he thinks
and what he is going to do, that the cabi
net, both House* oi Congress, all the of
fice-seekers and all Pennsylvania Avenue

Industrial Problems.
A new and fearfully inevitable and ir
reconcilable conflict is disclosed to the
afflicted brethren of the North by a la
bor scholiast in the International Review
for June. Ah, we thought these dear
brethren were going to be happy after
they had once gotten rid of “that sum of
all human villainies—African slavery.”
But not so; not so, my boy. They are
more miserable than ever. The dread of
impending-calamities is scaring them to
death. Yon see, the case is just here:
After spitting ou their slates - aud rubbing
out that ugly sum we have just spoken of
With their jacket sleeves, they find an
other sum on the other side oi - the slate,
which, if not worse, is at least so little
better as to leave a chip’s choice between
them. And it is a more dangerous sum
because it is mainly a white folks’ sum.
To drop metaphor and unknown
tongues, .these saddened brethren have
found, in what they style the labor and
wage problem, an evil only a shadow of a
shade less in degree than slavery. In
slavery the master owns the bodies of his
workmen. Under the wage system, al
though ho don’t precisely own their bod
ies—he owns their time—he owns their
food and lodging, and in that Way owns
their lives. He can discharge them with
out appeal (unless, as in some union
cases, they discharge him.} They are vir
tually slaves—living a life at. his mer'ey,
and wholly inconsistent with the rights,
dignities aud duties of American freemen;
and unless some mode and principle of re
organization can he found in a country
where the people (comparatively poor
people) are the source of all power, it is
quite manifest that this arrangement can
not last long. It must all he blotted out
in blood aud disorder.
Now, this mode of reasoning has some
reputable parentage. We remember foity
years ago that Macauley prophesied that
a great crisis was bound to come in
America between the. voting and impov
erished many and the capital-liolding/ew,
when the former would no longer abide
in quiet with empty meal tubs, while the
latter were rolling in wealth; but having
the political, numerical and material
power they would help themselves to
what they Wanted.
It is evident this ugly phantom is loom
ing up more and more vividly before the
eyeballs of our respected fellow-citizens
who reside about the great populous labor
centres. Now, if such an apparition
would only have the good effect of making
the brethren sensible, prudent, just and
“keerful,” it might help matters. But in
stead of that the whole legislation of the
country, for the past twenty years, looks
as if it had been formed to precipitate a
catastrophe of this character. Look at
the facts, that the wealth of the country,
accumulated in the national debt, is ex
empt from taxation—that taxes collected
on imports swell the wealthy with boun
ties and’deplete the poor with extortion
ate burdens, doubling the cost of a liveli
hood ; that under the excise or internal
revenue tax system, enterprise without a
large capital is emasculated, because large
capital is necessary to prepay the tax—
see, under these and other influences, enor
mous disparities in fortunes are being
yearly created, swelled and aggravated so
that every year we are having more and
more a broad and strongly marked line
between enormous wealth and defenseless
penury—the rich getting richer with rapid
strides, and the poor, poorer. See how
deaf and. blind our legislators are to
what is perfectly apparent on the face oi
things, and how careful not to assail a
single wrong or inequality in our taxation;
but rather to rely ou “a strong govern
ment” (imperialism), a third term, or a
crippled aud emasculated suffrage, than on
the only remedies possible under free
government—impartial justice and equity.
We see, in these constant strikes and
quarrels about wages, the indications of
popular discontent, which the scholiast of
the International Review says must be al
layed in alimely manner, by a total reor
ganization of labor, in which labor shall fix
its own compensation, after the town meet
ing system, by the votes of the majority.
His reasoning and his remedy are as satis
factory, as those of any “labor problem’*
theorist—4liat is to say, they are utterly
foolish and impracticable. It takes two par
ties to madee a bargain, aud both must be
as free as the case, admits. The capital
ist must have labor, although his necessi
ties may not be so great as thoso of the
laborer, who must have food, clothing and
all the necessaries of life. But the capi
talist must accept, the risks - of the enter
prise and pay in advance. He cannot, if
lie would, allow prices to be fixed for
him. independently in the production of
merchandise, while he cannot fix the
prices of his merchandise in the general
.market. ’ ' . "
f yin short, the world most still blunder
along as it has done for many generations
—doubtless with many a hardship and in
justice under any practicable System; hut
the general system itself must be just. It
should impose equal burdens—cqnter
equal, privileges and rights. It should
ieave all to work out their destiny under
oqual laws; hut no action of man can
produce equal results. These were ape
patently'never • intended by the Diviuo
Rui^r of the universe, and were there an
equal division of the. proceeds of labor'
every year, some would have'plenty aud
some starve.
The International Review writer says
unless the. rule oft the majority over the
wealth of the .country can be established
we’are all going into bloody ebaos very
soon, but it is certain we should all go
sooner on liis piau. Seward’s inevitable
conflict did^not come off, perhaps, because
Retransferred it into the bauds of the
American Government. The policy of
sorni in this “inevitable conflict” seeriisto
be the same, but it will be far better to

Honey from Poison.
Tpe Supreme Court of the State of Lou-'
isiaua, sitting in banc at New Orleans on
the 31st of May, in a decision maintain
ing to the utmost the vested rights of the
Louisiana State Lottery. Goiupany, thus
briefly but forcibly alludes to the institu
tion assailed: “The Louisiana State Lot-

Tlie Chicago Blunder.
We give place to what a discontented
Grant organ has to say about the Chicago
nominations. The bile has not all been
discharged yet. We clip from : the New
York Era, of the 19th:
We believe that the Chicago couye/ition
misrepresented'the wishes of the Ameri
can people, and a majority of the party
which appointed it ■ to its duty; We be
lieve that in nominating Garfield and Ar
thur, that convention made the very worat
choice ' among the candidates before it.
Finally, we believe that the choice it did
make, and its manner of choosing, have
sealed the fate of the Republican party.
• Whoever may occupy the presidential
chair in 1S81—it will not be James A.
Gartiekl.
In nominating General Arthur—and we
hav.e the highest respect for the gentleman
—the convention stultified itself. A lead
ing plank in its platform commends the
administration of President -Hayes—one
of whose chief acts was to dismiss Gen.
Arthur from the position he occupied iu
the New York custom-house. This was,
therefore, a direct “slap in the face” to the
administration thus commended.

ravens;
You beat us by your knavery it is true,
But think not though defeated we are cra

A Mule Causes a Serious Accident
on the Junction Branch Railroad.
The mail and passenger train drawn by
the engine “Coosahatchie,” and under
charge of Conductor McManus, which
left the city for Charleston at four o’clock
Saturday afternoon, met with a serious
accident at Ogeechee swamp on the Junc
tion Branch, about; three miles from the
city. At the point named a mule that
was browsing along the embankment sud
denly dashed on the track directly in
front of the engine, when the engineer
whistled “down brakes,” but before the
train could be stopped, the pilot struck
the animal, throwing him under the cow
catcher, completely mangling him and
turning the engine from the track, drag
ging the tender and baggage car partially
down the embankment. The postal car
was thrown from the rails, but remained
ou the embankment, and the passenger
car, which was crowded, was left on the
track, and strange to say, the occupants
though somewhat shocked were not in the
slightest injured, nor was the car dam
aged. The engiueer, Mr. Henry R. Mar
tin, was slightly scalded and badly
bruised, aud fireman Doyle and the wood-
passer were also slightly injured.
In the baggage or conductor’s car wore
Col. H. S. Haines, Messrs. O. C. Olney,
Felix Prendergast and Robert LePage, the
express manager, and several Lands. The
officials were on the way to the bridge
over the Savannah river, to see about the
repairs. The car was filled with trunks,
and when the accident occurred these
were thrown about in the most promiscu
ous manner, and it is a miracle that some
of the gentlemen were not seriously-or
fatally injured. All were more or less
bruised, but fortunately escaped serious
harm. Some of the passengers were
greatly excited, especially the ladies,
whilst others were scarcely aware the ac
cident had occurred.
As soonns the officials recovered irom
the shock and managed to get out of the
car, they went to the assistauce of the en
gineer ami fireman and extricated them
from tlieir perilous position. A messenger
then was promptly dispatched to the city
by Mr. C. C. Olney, receiver of the road,
and a special train was sent to the wreck
under charge of Mr. W. T. Marshall, and
tbe baggage aud passengers brought back
to the city, reaching here about half-past
seven o’clock at night. Dr. Duncan, who
had accompanied Mr. Marshall on the re
lief, train, examined the injured men, aud
pronounced their injuries not of a serious
character.' They were conveyed to tlieir
homes on reaching the city, and received
all attention possible, and-will probably
bo ready for duty in a few days.
Busses aud carriages had been ordered
to the depot, add the passengers were
transported to the hotels, being occasion
ed no inconvenience beyond the interrup
tion of their journey.
The track is only slightly damaged, hut
the road bed is intact, and tbe force that
was sent out had it in thorough order by
11 o’clock, The damage to the engine is
not serious.- butthe cab’ and tender are de-
demolishen, aud the trucks of the baggago
and mail car smashed. The wrecks were
brought to tlie city yesterday.
Wild and exaggerated reports were cir
culated concerning tbe accident, some to
tbe effect that four men had been'killed
and a number badly injured; hut we are
pleased to state that they vfere unfounded,
and whilst escape from death on the part
of some of the occupants of the train was
lemafkable, there were no serious conse
quences.—Savannah News.

fair is to commence on Tuesday, the 9th

Very few of the colored people know
anything about Garfield, and are disposed
to regard his election over Grant as a per
sonal grievance. .The Republican party
will find it very difficult to arouse any en
thusiasm among the negroes in the South
over their standard bearer. They don’t
know who Garfield is, and consequently a
very light vote may be expected in this
direction.
When the nomination of Garfield was
announced the Democrats, says the At
lanta Post, thought they had caught a
Tartar; hut he turns out to be covered all
over with corruption, and does not appear
to possess a single honest principle. But
no matter for all this, the Republican
party will stick to him, and he will be a
hard man to beat. It would really appear
that the greater the miscreant the closer
do the Republican politicians stick to
him.
. The gubernatorial candidates wHl have
a little rest from the bombarding enemy
during the next few days.. The editorial
guns will all be loaded for the Cincinnati
fracas, and will have no time to devote to
so small a contest as State affairs.
Conkling insisted at Chicago that no
one but Grant could carry New Yoik. It
recurs to us that Grant was not nomi
nated at Chicago. Conkling therefore*
makes no calculation on carrying that
ing that State for Garfield and Arthur.
We hear a great deal about the progress
of the age, and we are always ready to
award the meed of praise to that which
elevates and benefits mankind. Still the
remembrance of former days awakens a
train of thought that will not down at our
bidding. Once it was believed, and gen
erally practiced, that the interests of the
employer and the employed were iden
tical. The master held their workmen
personally in high esteem, and were in
the habit of promoting their personal com
fort. On the other hand, the workmen
respected their master and felt in
honor bound to work well and
faithfully. There was exercised a mutual
confidence, and the workmen did do good
work, and the masters did try to make
them comfortable. It is not so now, only
in exceptional cases. The relation has
changed. Workmen are regarded by em
ployers as machines necessary to the man
ufacture of raw material; and employers
are regarded by workmen as machines
necessary to manufacture wages—on each
side there is a disposition to take advan
tage of one another. This may he prog
ress according to the utilitarian view, hut
it is a great strain upon moral principle
and the public good.
It is said that Sherman’s little axe is
endangering Garfield’s success. We don’t
believe that Sherman cares a straw if it
would defeat the “dark critter.” At least
he is doing his best to make Garfield’s way
to the White House as difficult as pos
sible.
A. G. Porter, Esq., a prominent lawyer
of Indianapolis, defeated Gen. Streightfor
the Radical nomination for governor of
Indiana. Streight was the man that got
up the boom for Garfield amoug the
Wisconsin delegation, Whereupon the St.
Louis Q{obe-Democrat, a rabid Grant or
gan, says, “He’(Streight) was entirely too
active iu the anti-Grant crusade at Chica
go. People who expect to win promotion
in the Republican party by proving up au
anti-Grant record wilt be disappointed.”
Garfield instead of healing is only widen
ing the breach in the Radical party.
Wherever they can slay one another the
opportunity never passes. It matters, hut
little, however, whom the Radicals place
in nomination, Frank Landers will land
them in the shade,; by twenty thousaud
majority.
The blasphemer Ingersoll has let the
public rest ever since the Chicago Con
vention from his scoffings aud ribald jests
on sacred things.- He seeks to destroy
religion, hut he offers nothing to make
mankind better by abandoaing it; until he
can do this, all his railing amounts to
nothing. Those who live the religion
they profess are quite beyond even the
keen shafts of au Ingersoll.

A Strange Epidemic.
Adams, Mass., June 16, 1880.—This
town has a population of 6,000 people.
Last night we were startled by an epi
demic which has left its track, and still
lingers, loth to leave. Over one thousand
people were prostrated by a disease re
sembling cholera morbus, and from a
cause yet unknown, though it is general
ly attributed to atmospheric influences.
About half-past eight last night it rained
heavily here, though no rain had fallen in
towns six miles away, and the air became
suddenly and intensely chilly. A fog
seemed to rest over the town.
Dr. Burton, in conversation with a re
porter this evening, described the fog as
having an odor like that arising from a
damp celiar after it liad been closed for a
long time. AboutlO o’clock people be
gan to be sick. First would come a dizzi
ness, followed by. deathly sickness and
vomiting, and then a severe and prolonged
purging. Hardly a family escaped, and
in some instances whole families were
sick. Three of the doctors were rushing
from place to place, vainly trying to an
swer their hundreds of calls, while the
.other doctor was helpless with tbe pre
vailing disease. The sickness in the most
cases lasted three or four hours, the grip
ing pains, vomiting and purging continu
ing throughout. Several persons lost
their heads with the pain and did not be
come rational until this morning. Women
and children were chiefly attacked, but
strong men were also prostrated.
Those who were sick last evening are
nearly all much better this afternoon, a
few being confined to their beds, hut those
who have recovered are weak and nervous.
About a third of the entire population was
affected, and those who escaped have been
thoroughly purged to-day. Many of the
factory operatives are unable to work, and
there have been several cases this after
noon. The doctors did not complete their
calls until late to-night, and they are
thoroughly tired out. News comes to
night that people in Savoy and the other
hill towns are similarly affected, though
there was not a case in North Adams and
other towns in the vicinity. No deaths
have occurred, and the danger is consid
ered past, hut there are still a number of
very sick people in Adams. At first a
theory prevailed that the reservoir water
had been poisoned, but as it has proved
that scores of people who did not use that
water were sick with the rest, the respon
sibility comes back upon the atmosphere.
Nothing like it has ever occurred here be
fore, and Adams, nestling at the foot of
Grey Lock, has always been considered a
very healthy place. The queer visitation
is a great mystery to everybody, but if no
worse results follow it will probably be a
benefit, as all the inhabitants have under
gone a thorough spring cleaning.—-New
York Herald.
Went Into the BiLL.~At a hotel in
Bordeaux, the garcon, coming into a trav
eler’s room in tho morning asks him if he
has slept well.
“Slept? I should say not,” was the
reply; “a mouse kept up such a racket all
night thatl couldn’t-close my eyes.”
“Is it possible ?” said the garcon; “aud
we are so careful here. I assure you it is
the first time—”
“Oh, never mind; I never can sleep
well in a strange bed. The little fellow
rattier amused me than otherwise.”
An hour afterwards the gentleman, who
was going away, went to the office to pay
his bill.
“How much?”
“Eight francs.”
“Eight francs for a chamber on the
third floor, for one night ? It’s prepos
terous.”
“Monsieur has apparently forgotten the
mouse which amused him last night.”
A Gigantic Southern Combination.
A New York special to the Chicago
Tribune says: Avast railroad combina
tion, with the Richmond & Danville and
the Richmond & York River roads as the
basis, has been formed in the South, ne
gotiations for which have been in progress
for eighteen months. A number of prom
inent capitalists are interested in the en
terprise, and have embarked in it more
than $20,000,000. Among these are
Charles Clyde, Philadelphia; John and
Daniel K. Stewart, Richmond;, Messrs.
Walters & Newcomer, Baltimore; H. B.
Plant, R. T. Wilson & Co., New York;
Charles M. McGhee, Tennessee; W. R.
Clyde, New York; William H. Palmer,
T. M. Logan, James T. Gray, A. Y.
Stokes and Thomas Branch & Co., Rich
mond, and other well-known gentlemen
in the South arid Southwestern States.
This combination will seek to control
all through traffic to and from the sea
board in Virginia, North Carolina, South
Carolina, Georgia, Tennessee, Northern
Alabama and Mississippi, striking deep
water on the Chesapeake bay, at West
Point aud Norfolk. This great system of
railroads is the counterpart of the Louis
ville and Nashville system, which reaches
the sea coast at Charleston and Savannah.
The purchase, some months ago, of the
Charlotte, Columbia and Augusta rail
road, by the Pennsylvania Railroad Com
pany,-Richmond and Danville Company
and Thomas and William P. Clyde, was
the beginning of this movement. The
second step was the formation of a syndi
cate composed of New York, Philadelphia,
Baltimore aud Richmond capitalists, con
trolling among them the Richmond aud
York River railroad, East Tennessee,
Virginia and Georgia, Memphis and
Charleston, aud Selma, Rome aud Dalton
railroads, with numerous branches, exten
sions and connections.
The Sy ndicate was formed to purchase all
the railroad interests of the Pennsylvania
Company south of Richmond, tvhichgave
it the control-of the Richmond and Dan
ville with its leased roads in North Caro
lina, running from Richmond to Danville,
embracing the Piedmont road from Dan
ville 1 and Greensborough, N. C., and the
North Carolina Railroad from Goldsbor-
ough to Charlotte as a trunk line, thus af
fording au outlet through Richmond to
deep water for Jtne entire system. This
w as followed by" the purchase of the con-
trolling interest in the Greenville and Co
lumbia Railroad Company of South Caro
lina, and by arrangements • for securing
the immediate completion of the Western
North Carolina railroad from Asheville,
N. C., to Paint Rock, Tenn., which makes
another link connecting tlie roads west of
the Blue Ridge mountains, with those
east of Blue Ridge, and at tlie same time
affording the shortest practical route be
tween the Northwest andtbe States of the
Southern seaboard.
The Richmond and York River rail
road, composing a section- of the trunk
line of this combination, extends troui
Richmond, Ya., to West Point, Va., on
the Chesapeake bay, a distance of thirty-
eight miles. The East Tennessee, Vir
ginia arid Georgia railroad extends from
Bristol, Tenn., to Dalton, Ga., a distance
of 270 miles, with about twenty-four
miles of side-tracks. The Itogersville and
Jefferson and the Cincinnati, Cumberland
Gap, and Charleston railroads were pur
chased at a foreclosure sale for tho non
payment of interest on. the State mortgage
lien in 1871. The line of the Memphis
and Charleston road extends from Mem
phis, Tenn., to Stevenson, Ala., a dis
tance of 271 miles. It.-has branches to
Somerville, Tenn-, and Florence, Ala.,
making 303 iriilcs of road. The Selma,
Rome and Dalton road, also a part of-tliis
system, extends from Selma, Ala., to
Dalton, Ga., a distance of 237 miles.
The effect of this combination will be,
it is claimed, to give greater economy of
operation and increased efficiency of ser
vice than has heretofore been possible
under tbe old condition of things, where
the roads were independent and discon
nected. Among tbe perries interested in
this enterprise are those controlling tbe
coast line system of railroad, including the
new and short railway lines running from
Charleston and Savannah to Florida, and
also a number of steamship lines trading
between New York, Philadelphia, Balti
more and Southern coast’ ports. It also
connects at Ricli/noud and Danville with
tho railway lines from those points to tbe
Northern and Southern States for through
passenger and express traffic, and at No>
folk aud West Point with the steamboat
lines to the Northern and Eastern
ports for through and way traffic.
Blaine narrowly escaped nomination,
after all, according to James R. Robinson,
chairman of Ohio's Republican State ex
ecutive cofmnitteo. The Sherman men
from Ohio fblt Tuesday morning that their
case was hopeless, aud after the conven
tion met were canvassing their allies, from
tbe South to see how many of them would
support Blaine. Eight delegates from
North Carolina, as many from -Georgia,
and three from Alabama, agreed to jump
that way, and forty-three of the Ohio men
decided to go with them. But before their
intention could be carried out,' Wisconsin
led oft' for Garfield, and the Sherman men
decided to go with the crowd.

—One of those rough-clad, big-hearted
miners who come into Santa Fe occasion
ally to lay in a supply of grub, stepped
into the post-office of that town recently
and seeing iu the window three letters
held for postage, picked up one, and,
looking at the address, . said in a tone of
great astonishment: “Why, this letter is
fora lady in Denver!” “Yes,” said tbe
clerk. “And you are holding it here!” in
a tone of greater astonishment. “Why,
of course,” answered the clerk, “don’t
you see it hasn’t any postage paid?” In
a tone of utter contempt for the man who
would not forward a letter to a woman,
paid or unpaid, the miner said: “Give
me some stamps.” It was done; he care
fully put stamps on all letters in the
window, putting two on that of the femi

go all right, and stalked out of the office
with the concluding remark hurled at the
head of the astonished Pino Pinito:
