FRIDAY, JULY 9, 1SS0.
Last Week’s Cotton Eeeeipts.
—The Frincess of Wales sold bouquets
at a' bazr.ur held at Barou Grant’s late
bouse three weeks ago, and realised a large
sum for the charity. Both she and her
husband seem willing to do anything to
help-charitabb objects.
—General Ilancock and General Gar
field are both to be invited to be present
In Boston at the celebration of its two
hundred and fiftieth anniversary, on the
37th of September next. ^
—The new oath for the French sol
diers contains no reference to the Deity or
the republic. It will be taken on the 14th
of July, as follows: “In the name of the
regiment, I swear on my honor to remain
faithful to the constitution, and to defend
- this flag until death.”
—A wheat field in Sassafras Neck,
Cecil county, Maryland, which was in
vaded by the army worm in full force has
turned ont about thirty bushels to the
acre. There was not a beard or blade to
be seen, indicating that the worms had
done their work well.
—General Hancock is under engage
ment to write an article for the Philadel
phia Times on the battle of Gettysbuig,
and General Garfield one on General
Thomas; but the work was contracted for
before the nominations, and Editor
McClure says he will accept excuses.
—Cleveland Plain Dealer: Mr. Gar
field, ahoy, there! You were at New Or
leans and kuew that Tilden carried
Louisiana, but you voted to give its vote
for Hayes and yet indorsed Hayes in re
fusing to seat Governor Packard, who had
more votes than Hayes. How do you ex
plain this?
—A Philadelphia Republican tries to
break the force of Cameron declining to
accept the chairmanship of the Republi
can national executive committee by de
claring that he has never been invited to
accept. That cat won't jump. What
did Garfield go to Hamburg to see the
Camerons for? Entirely too thin.
—The California State convention of
the Democratlcwingof the Workingmen’s
party, on oa.u..-j . ... Kpar-
—r — a! tha part y and declared
the offices of president, secretary and
treasurer vacant, elected a State central
committee, indorsed Hancock and En
glish. and the Democratic presidential
electors and adjourned till Tuesday even
ing.
—Mr. Leonard W. Jerome, of New
York, has replied to the sneers of certain
Republican newspapers in regard to his
Republicanism. He says he has always
been a Republican; that he voted for
Hayes in 1870, and contributed funds to
aid in his election. He did the same thing
for Cornell when he was chosen governor
last fall, but now he proposes to organize
a Hancock club in the twenty-fourth
ward, and lie “does not believe that there
is a single man of intelligence in the
whole ward who will vote against Han
cock next November.” .
Prospective Wheat Movement.—
About 25,000 bushels of new Southern
wheat were sold on the 2nd on Baltimore
oom and flour exchange at from $1.12 to
-$1.19, only a small quantity bringing the
highest figure. The closing for No. 2 spot
wheat was $1.15. It is stated that trans
actions have been made for the shipment
of 6,000,000 or 7,000,000 bushels of wheat
from Baltimore to Europe in July. In
formation received from the West is to
the effect that the wheat movement to this
city will be very heavy, and the quantities
lraudled in the next two months will per
haps be the largest on record in the same
length of time.
—A woman in red was seen at the Coney
Island races by a lashion correspondent,
who furnishes the following description:
“She was outwardly clothed in red from
top to toe—from her red plumed hat to
her rod .leather slippers. The material
of her costume was velvet and satin in the
main, and Hie color throughout was a
bright scarlet, which glowed and glistened
in the sun like a big live coaL Her slip
pers were low,-showing red silk stockings
of the finest texture; her jewelry was red
carved ivory; her gloves were red, too—
not a glimpse of anything but red could
be caught about her but her face, neck
and hair.”
Conkltxg ox Garfield The New
York Express says that Senator Roscoe
Conkling was seated upon the veranda of
•the Brighton Beach Hotel last Saturday
evening, looking out upon the white caps
and stroking his Venetian beard. An
Express reporter approached him, and af
ter a.few moments conversation on gene-
ral subjects, asked:
“And what do you think of Garfield,
Senator?”
“What do I think of Garfield?
Well—”
And there was a pause, andt&c Utica
Adonis stroked his beard again.
“I think.” lies aid, and again there was
a painful pause.
“What is your candid opinion?” said the
reporter.
a&nd after a two-minutes pause the
'Senator said, “I think I won’t say any
thing about it.”
Tiie Write House China.—Tha
splendid new dinner and tea service or
dered for the White House arrived this
evening, and was spread .out for the bene
fit of the admiring few who had been ad
vised oi its coming. Tbe service com
prises about 500 pieces, and the cost is
about $3,000. The material is of tljp
finest porcelain. Tbe service was made
at Limoges, France, by Haviland & Co.,
f an American firm. It was designed by
Theodore B, Davis, and ctebers, en
gravers and painters to tbe number of fif
teen were employed on it. The service
consists of soup, fish, dinner, game, bird,
dessert and fruit, coffee aud tea series.
The designs for all are entirely new and
novel, exclusively relating to American
products of tbe earth, air and water, and
the decorations are elaborate and magnifi
cent. For instance, on each piece of e^ch
The Situation.
According to the New York Chronicle,
the receipts at the ports for the seven days
ending the 2d instant were 17,057 bales,
against 3,637 for the corresponding week
of last year. Total receipts of the cur
rent cotton year, to that date 4,842,134
against 4,424,540 to same date last year—
showing an increase of 417,594 bales.
Tbe interior ports received on the same
days 4,639 bales, against 1,293 last year.
They shipped 10,70S against 4,128 last
year, and have in stock 75,103, against
22,388 at same date last year.
The Chronicle's visible supply table re
ports 1,920,486 bales of cotton in sight
last Friday, against 1,497,077 at samodate
last year—1,763,013 the year before at
same date, and 2,351,397 in 1877 at the
same date. These figures show an in
crease of 423,409 bales on the supply last
year at that date—an increase of 157,473
on the supply of 1878, and a decrease of
430,911 bales on the supply of 1877 at that
date. Cotton in Liverpool last Friday
was worth G{ for middling upland. In
1879 at that date tbe quotation was 615-
10—in 1S7S C 5-10, and in 1877 Oi.
The Chronicle appends the following to
its table of receipts from plantations:
The above statement shows—
1. That the total receipts from planta
tions since September 1 in IS79-80 were
4,909,930 bales; in 187S-79 wore 4,441,270
bales; in 1877-78 were 4,240,457 bales.
2. That although the receipts at the out
ports the past week were 17,057 bales, the
actual movement from plantations was
only 10,OSS bales, the balance being drawn
from stocks at the interior ports. Last
year the receipts from the plantations for
the same week were 802 bales, and for
1878 they were 4,384 bales.
Tbe Chronicle's weather telegrams of
last Friday exhibit a generally favorable
condition of.the weather and the cotton
crop, though too much rain is complained
of in certain parts of the Southwest, and
caterpillar talk comes from Texas. Gal
veston reports light showers on five days,
and a rainfall of 0.55; caterpillar rumors
plenty and the trade in poisons active.
The rainfall in June was S.33. Indianola
had showers on three days, and a fall of
0.47. Caterpillars, but no great injury as
yet. Rainfall in June 3.55. Corsicana,
lightshowers, crops promising. Rainfall in
June 2.65. Dallas had 0.75 of rain during
the week and 2.60 in June. Cotton plant
strong and healthy. Brenham had 0.75
of rain in the week and 5.25 in June.
Crops fine; talk of caterpillars, but no im
portant injury. Tire highest point reached
by the mercury in Texas during the
week wa3 93 and the lowest 69. The
mean temperature was about SI to 83.
In New Orleans it rained every day in
the week—the fall reaching 4.73. Rainfall
in June, 6.43. Average thermometer 76.
At Shreveport 1.01 of rain fell in tbe week
on four days. Highest mercury 94 and
lowest 71. At Vicksburg, Miss., rain on
very troublesome.

Tongued for Hancock.
On the 2d of July, at an immense Dem
ocratic ratification meeting, held in Wil
mington, Delaware, Senator Bayard was
introduced by the mayor of the city and
made a powerful appeal in behalf of Han
cock and English. It was the effort of a
ripe statesman, and contained in a nut
shell the cogent reasons which will cause
the people of the United States to elect
Gen. Hancock like a whirlwind in No
vember. The following extract should be
read and remembered:
Mr. Bayard said : “When the American
people meet to take counsel together in
respect of choosing their rulers it is a
matter of graal gravity. Tho Democratic
party, that great party which never bad a
sinister object, actuated by a great patri
otic impulse, sent tbe best men of their
jarty to Cincinnati to choose a standard
rearer, firm in tbe faith of that party, and
it is, fellow Democrats, that we are here
to-night to indorse their choice. They
did not choose obscure men or ‘dark
horsdS,’ but men who have been known
for their lifetime. There is no one who
does not know and honor the name of
Winfield Scott Hancock. [Applause.]
Long before be was mentioned at Cincin
nati, and in the counsels of the nation,
where Indiana sent him, Wm. H. English
has proved Iris worth. Hancock is no un
tried man. He has been tested, aud lias
vindicated liis claim to public confidence
in a way that falls to the lot of few public
men. He has been long before tbe people,
and, though subjected to the fisree light of
partisan examination, liis reputation is
still spotless. His military record is as
f lorious as that of any man in tbeeountry.
f you ask why we put in nomination a
soldier, I will tell you because that man
has proved that the good God
gave to him the same characteris
tics of self-control and conscience
that lie gave to the great Washington.
Since the world was, nothing has been so
dangerous to society and mau as the love
of power in the heart of man. When mil
itary power the most absolute was in the
hands of Hancock, what was his course in
comparison with that of the other military
1 governors whom you can recollect? When
in Louisiana and Texas he was asked to
arrest men. He said, ‘Where is your ju
dicial process?’ When asked to restrain
liberty of property, he asked for law to
guarantee it. When he was asked to try
men by military tribunals, lie pointed out
tbe court houses, with their judges and
jury boxes. Who else, placed with such
power in liis bauds, has refused to exer-
ercise it? He (General Hancock) said he
was a citizen, and held his rights as that
higher than his power as a soldier. Com
pare this with the course of that general
who asked permission to outlaw the peo
ple of Louisiana, Alabama, Mississippi,
Texas and Georgia, and the reply of Belk
nap, then secretary of war, who said be
approved of such a course.”
Senator Bayard will canvass New York,
Pennsylvania, Ohio and^ndiana, for Han
cock and English. His tour will be a
perfect ovation.
have abandoned tbe practice of philologi
cal inquiry; but I may bint that there are
some Americans who derive ‘boston’ from
‘boast on’ or brag; others say it has some
thing to do with the Spanish ‘basto,’ the
ace of spades.”
A pretty fair definition of “Bosting.” or
the “hub” of the universe.
At Columbus, in the"* same sime,
five days and tbe fall 1.28. Fall in June,
3.77. Average mercury S6. Little Rock,
in Arkansas, bad 1.38 of rain on five days
in the week and 3.38 in June. Average
mercury 77. Highest SO, lowest 60.
Memphis had rain every day of the week,
amounting in all to 3.10. The weeds
were lively. Nashville had ram on five
days and much damage feared. 3.97 of
rain fell during the week. Highest mer
cury S8, lowest 61, average 77.
In Alabama, at Mobile two showery
days and a fall of 1.28. Crop strong and
healthy. Rainfall in June 5.08. In
Montgomery light showers on two days.
Cotton fields in good order. Some talk
of caterpillars. Highest mercury 90—av
erage 82. Rainfall iu June 1.01. In Sel
ma warm and dry. Cotton promising.
Iu Madison, Florida, good rains. Highest
mercury 95. Columbus, Georgia, reports
only 0.45 of rain during June, and 0.27
in the week. Macon, scattering showers.
Highest mercury 92, and average 82. Sa
vannah had very light showers, and the
highest mercury at 96. Augusta, light
showers on four days. Crop promising.
Highest mercury 96, lowest 71, average

The Chronicle considers editorially and
at great length the presage of the growing
crop upon the reports of increased acreage,
comparative condition, state of labor, and
so on. We append its conclusions:
possibilities of the crop.
We think a fair conclusion from tbe
foregoing is that the acreage this year may
be safely estimated at about 10 per cent,
more than last year’s acreage. A very
large increase of fertilizers has also been
used in the Atlantic States; and in tbe
Southwest the new land put under cotton
is generally the more productive. Hence,
if we call the possibilities of this crop (in
comparison with the last one) 10 per cent,
more on account of the increased acreage,
we should add (judging from previous
year’s results, given in the last column of
abore table) 5 to 10 per cent, further on
account of fertilizers used on poor lauds
and the more than average quality of the
new lands cultivated. The sum of
these percentages will probably cover
tbe extreme additional productive pow
er of tbe planting this year. Ou
the other side, it should be said that, even
if we find subsequent favorable conditions
serve to bring up (he* plant in the section
of Alabama, Mississippi and Louisiana
(which, as we have seen, was faulty in
tbe start) to highest productive power,
it is not presumable that we shall have
such an autumn as the last one to com
pare with; for not only was it warm in the
day time, but tbe nights were warm, so
that the growth (quite far North) was al
most as rapid in October as in the last
of August «r first of September—the top
crop maturing to the very end. The facts
set out, however, are sufficient, we should
think, to confirm the belief that the yield
in tbe United States i3 likely to be a large
one, and to suggest to other countries the
inexpediency of raising much cotton this
year.
In 1870 the increased acreage was 3.34
per cent., and the increased crop was 11.85
per cent., owing to more favorable condi
tions—prominently the length of the sea
son. Such a ratio of increase this year
would give a very great abundance of cot
ton. Putting yield of 1879-80, which is
estimated at 5,675,000 bales, and adding
only the 10 per cent, increase of acreage,
and we shall have for 1880-81 0,242,000
bales. But tbe growing cotton crop is
stil] like a young bear—all its troubles are
to come.
A Card.
Macon', July 5,18S0.
Editors Telegraph and Messenger:—
My attention has been called to a pub
lished “rumor,** that in the event I
could not be nominated I intended to
throw my delegations to Gov. Colquitt.
Let me say, I have had , no conference
with Gov. Colquitt or any of his friends;
that I have no such a thing ip contempla
tion. I could not transfer my friends,were
I so disposed. They are honorable men
who will act for themselves, aud notchafc-
tels to be transferred at will. Tlie rumor
was started to injure me, and has no foun
dation in truth.

The Surratt Family Speak Out
Strenuous attempts have been made to
induce tbe children of tlie martyred Mrs.
Surratt to incriminate General Ilancock
for the part he involuntarily bore in the
tliair m/tihpr. IS Lit ill
every instance they have failed. The
husband of Mfcs Anna Surratt (a daughter
of the deceased), Professor Tonry, when
recently approached, said:
“That the Republican party is responsi
ble for the murder of Mrs. Surratt, and
we do not propose tolumish it with mate
rial if we can by assailing Gen. Hancock
for executing its orders, when it is prima
rily responsible for the crime. And it is
unfair to us and unbecoming in Republi
cans to drag this subject into politics with
tins view of injuring Gen. Hancock. We
cannot, of course, be expected to put our
selves in any such position. We do not
propose to say anything at the present
time, if at all, in relation to Gen. Han
cock’s connection, in 1865, with tlie sad
event of winch we are speaking. Whether
he did his duty, as we view it, is simply
our own -concern. But the Republicans
are certainly the last people who slwuld
assail an executive officer for the part lie
took in wlnt we consider a judicial mnr-
dcr. No party ought to think of making
capital of the matter.”
“Then I understand that both you and
your wife repudiate tlie recently-published
interviews and statements both for and
against Gen. Hancock?”
“Yes, sir; both Mrs. Tonry and myself
have refused to say anything upon either
side of the question for publication, hold
ing that it is purely a personal matter, en
tirely outside of politics.”
WHAT THE CATHOLICS THINK OF IT.
Tbe Boston Pilot, a Catholic journal,
speaks thus of the execution of Mrs. Sur
ratt:
There is one point iu tlie career of
Gen. Ilancock on which it may seem
proper that the Pilot should say a special
word, albeit it is to refute as false and
silly a ciiarge as ever emanated from tbe
brain of the wildest seribbler in all Bohe
mia. It is the assertion that Gen. Han
cock lias lost favor among the Catholic
part of our population by bis connection
witii tbe execution of Mrs. Surratt, and
this sapient opinion is based upon the
fact that Mrs. Surratt was a member of
tlie Catholic church.
In the first place, it is proper to say that
Gen. Hancock’s connection with the af
fair was solely that of an officer obeying
liis orders. Had we or any other Catho
lic in tbe world been in Gen. Hancock’s
piaee our duty would have been to do as
he did, whether the condemned woman
were Catholic or Protestant, heathen or
infideL A Catholic knows no distinction
of creed in the performance of his dutj;
lie quarrels with no ruan for the execu
tion ot his duty; lie has no more sympathy
for a man or woman put to death justly
or unjustly bepause tbe victim is a Catho
lic than if he or she were of any other re
ligion or no religion.
Herein tbe Pilot, though no organ, be
lieves it voices the opinion of common
sense and true religion. Catholics, of
course, laugh at the idea tliat tiicy should
beariil-wiU on religious grounds to any
one connected, however closely, with the
execution of a Catholic woman; but there
are a great many fools In this world, and
a very common specimen is the man who
supposes other people to be influenced by
ideas aud ties which would have no weight
at all w ith himself iu a similar case.
While wo have very little respect for any
man who carries liis religion into his poli
tics, we should have nothing but con
tempt .fof the one who carried both into
tho sacred hails of justice and law.
Republican Embarrassments.
The Republican organs remind us of a
certain character in one of Dean Swift’s
works—they “don’t know xehat to be at.”
Tlie nomination of Hancock has made
their whole stock of missiles useless, and
their search for efficient substitutes is un
availing. In the absence of anything bet
ter, the attack upon him, in connection
with the shameful execution of Mrs. Sur
ratt, wherein whatever shame or wrong
existed is ascribable wholly to their own
party, is an apt illustration of the desper
ate straits they are in. So also they
charge that Hancock was ISth in his
West Point class, forgetting that Grant
was 21st.
All their treason and bloody shirt artil
lery being spiked, they find no better sub
stitute than incessant and ill-natured
taunts of the Confederate brigadiers and
ex-rebels for their lack of spirit in sup
porting a FeJeral general who killed so
many of them. It is, in their opinion, a
very shameful and unmanly course of
conduct in people who ought, according
to all their representations of fact, to be
actuated by nothing but tlie most incorri
gible and inveterate hatred of the Union
and all its defenders. Tbeeountry is in
mortal peri! when men so rebollious for
get their quarrels and rally to tho com
mon standard. Will the Republicans
submit to it? All tills and much more
hasty and incoherent talk illustrates the
extent to which the brethren are both
ered. They “don’t know what to be at.”
There has been, in Washington and in
New York, some loose taik among the
leaders about taking down Garfield and
pul tmg up Grant. But that is impractica
ble. If Garfield would only resign it
miglit be done. Can’t he break his neck
or liis collar bone ? Or, can’t he discover
some extraordinary emergency in his
health or private affairs sternly demanding
tlie comparative leisure of private life
Must the thing go steadily on t
defeat and ruin in this way ? 1
is a hard case to inarch to certain
death, as the man said when they told him
to stand on the gallows trap-door. But
the line of battle is formed, and no mate
rial change can be made, though defeat be
certain.
Tbe awkwardness of tbe situation is
developing more and more with every
step of progress. The Chicago platform
don’t suit the candidate upon it in many
particulars—prominently in the Chinese,
where it stands in flagrant opposition to
Ids consressional course. The very cam
paign arguments, such as they are able to
start, cross trails. For, while in his
speech at Painesville Garfield turned his
back on the bloody shirt and hailed a re
union of the blue and gray under the fig
ure of the crossed swords, force of habit
still compels the organs to deal ia sec
tional bitterness.
Beyond reasonable doubt tlie Republicans
never started out on such an unpromising
campaign, and we think all the chances
are, that it will get worse as they go on.
They will be badly whipped, iu our opin
ion. It will bo tlie fault of the Demo
crats if the campaign does not result in a
victory of extraordinary magnitude, in
which all the three great States shall de
clare for Hancock; for Ohio is close on a
stand-up fight. Hayes’ majority over Til
den was very small, and would require
but a light change to reverse it; but heavy
cliacges are already taking place all over
the country. If the campaign is pushed
with proper energy and poiut by tbe Dem
ocrats, we believe the so-called Republi
cans will emerge from it with a small
showing. “The country needs a change,’
is tlie general conviction of tlie people.

twelve yiars ago was transplanted into

liant as tbe colors of the prism. Speak
ing of the “Clubs of the World,” which is
the title of a stout, handsome, crimson

pages, he says this book which professes

“I found that tlie name of the New Or

ton, Mass., but that it referred rather to a
Mercer's Commencement.
Tlie annual commencement of Mercer
University terminated yesterday, and the
exercises were numerously attended and
of more than usual interest. A very' full
representation of tlie board of trustees
were present, together with its genial
president, Dr. D. E. Butler, and a large
preponderance of the talent and iuflucuco
of the Baptist clergy of Georgia. The in
stitution is in a perfectly sound and
healthy condition, and, indeed, it may
truly be said is upon rising ground.
From the lifting of the curtain wiien
Rev. Dr. Winkler preached tbe com
mencement sermon on last Sabbath,to the
closing paragraph of the admirable bacca
laureate address of President Battle, every
announcement on the programme has been
carried out to tbe full aud cutire satisfac
tion of tbe public. Of tbe sermon alluded
to, we feel constrained to testify tliat it
was truly a model pulpit discourse.
Smooth, compact, simple, yet glilteriug
with beautiful tropes aud imagery, it also
possessed the card inal feature of the closest
adherence to Biblical tiuth and tlie pos
tulates of Christianity. 'Jesus aud Him
crucified formed the beginning, the bur
den and the end of ’lie message of the
distinguished' mau of God. It was a
pleasure to listen to such a sermon in
these latter day pulpit departures.
In the baccalaureate of Dr. Battle we
bad a chaste, beautiful and apposite re
sume of the duty and future trials of the
young gladiators who were about to go
forth to do battle on tho world’s stage.
His allusions to tlie record of an alumnus
who, after illustrating tire South in tho
late war by the most heroic deeds, fell
upon the stricken field, were graceful and
pathetic.

corruption, is about all that one doctor
can manage at once. It is a heavy bur
den. Add to this the disgrace of the
would-be Vice President and you kill the
man at once. Have mercy upon the good
doctor, ne lias never been debauched
with the stench of the whisky fraud nor
condemned as a criminal, nor released
from prison by a participating President,
He may become accustomed to these
things after awhile.
The noble eighteen of Wisconsin* who
flopped to the Garfield standard at Chi
cago, are quarreling among themselves
about the spoils to he bestowed. Just
wait, gentlemen. Gen. Hancock will
have no use for you.
A Republican orator addressin;
crowd of the faithful in St. Louis, com
plimented them by saying that their patri
otism had the “true ring.” Several mem
bers rushed over to the Democrat office
and enquired for McKee, claiming their
right to tho “whiskey ring,” being the
only true ring known to them.
Somebody foolishly started the report
tliat Arthur, on account of his miserable
record, was about to .withdraw from the
Republican ticket. Of course, .he would
not refuse anything, as everybody knows,
and he grows indignant that sucli a report
should gain credence. “I can not see,’
lie said, “how such a report could cause
any excitement at Washington, nor can
imagine how such an impossible story
could «et any origin. It is rather early
in the campaign for such an atrocious
falsehood to be told about me. Until
now I have never heard of tlie possibility
of sucli a tiling.”
Gex. Tecumsbh Sherman comes in for
a part of tbe Radical ire, not that they
have anything against the town-burner
but because lie exhibited some common
sense while treating with Joe Johnston
for the surrender of our troops in North
Carolina. A disappointed Grant organ
says: “It never occurred to him for a mo
ment that while he was treating with
Johnston lie was being duped by John C
Breekenridge into a surrender of every
principle for which tlie North had been
contending for four years. Shermau’s ca
reer in statesmanship was%uddemy cut
short by Andrew Johnson and Edwiu M,
Stanton, and although he has since
wreaked vengeance on the latter’s menio-
ory, he has not absolved himself from the
cliaige of gross impertinence for which
lid should have been dismissed from the
army.”
This slur upon Tecumseli is only a feint
for an attack on Gen. Hancock’s conduct
iu the Louisiana aud Texas case.
Chester A. Arthur indignantly de
nies that his middle name is Absalom,
Absalom was a very naughty boy, aud
tliat may be tbe reason that tlie name Las
been so readily given to Arthur.
Personal.—We had the pleasure yes
terday of meeting Prof. Walter Le Conte
Stevens, of New York, who is on a visit
to his father, Dr. J. P. Stevens, of this
city. Trof. Stevens is a native of Liberty
county, Georgia, and a nephew of Profes
sors John and Joseph Le Conte, of the
University of California.
He went to New York City several
years ago, unheralded and a perfect stran
ger. Possessed of fine abilities, a first-
class education, aud the most indomitable
energy, however, he soon won his way
into public notice. At this time Mr. Ste
vens is regularly employed at a generous
salary as a lecturer upon mathematics in
the Cooper Institute and the/New York
University. He is also the inventor of a
mathematical measuring instrument,
which has received the endorsement of
fifteen colleges, and is destined to come
into general use.
Georgia has just cause to be proud of so
promising a son.
State Politics.—Since our last issue
the following counties have indicated, in
primary assembly, who will be their choice
for governor in the August State conven
tion:
For Hardeman—Marion, and one vote
in Gordon county, the other being pledged
to Judge Warner.
For Lester—Clinch and Emanuel
counties.
For Colquitt—Decatur, Lee, Mitchell,
Habersham, Murray, Walton, Gwinnett
and Elbert counties.
Troup county has postponed the ap
pointment of delegates to the 17th Inst.
In Randolph the vots will be very close
between Colquitt and Hardeman. Tlie
indications arc that Gen. Phil Cook will
be renominated for Congress. In the
second district, Terrell county will cast
ber vote for that able and excellent citi
zen, Col. C. B. Woolen, who seems to
be gaining ground.

The Cuthbert Fair.
Editors Telegraph and Messenger :—
The third annual lair, held under the aus
pices of the Randolph Agricultural So
ciety, closed Saturday, after three days
successful operation. The display was
not quite as full in all departments as at
previous exhibitions, bnt was a grand
showing of what the people of_ thi3 good
old country can do. The citizens of
Cuthbert and those of adjoining towns
and counties turned out en masse to wit
ness the numerous attractions. Several
distinguished gentlemen from abroad
were also iu attendance. On Thursday
the vast crowd was lvghly amused at the
climbing of the greasy pole, and there
was “many a slip ’twixt the Clip and lip,”
and the grease remaining on contestants’
garments would command ready sale at a
soap factory.
The pole contest, having passed away
smoothly, the people assembled at Pow
ell’s Hall to bear Gov. Colquitt discourse
on tbe political issues oi the day, in which
big I figured conspicuously as the re
deemer of the commonwealth. His speech
was in substance the same as the people
have before read in the journals' of the
State, and was very transparent, to say
the least of it, and the impression left
upon tbe minds of his hearers in his con
cluding remarks was to the effect that he
would run at all hazards, nomination or
no nomination, in order to vindicate his
character as an executive officer, which
he imagines lias been persecuted and tra
duced. Let Gov. Colquitt answer tbe
query of tbe people: will be abide tbe
nomination? Some charge that he will
not, and his own remarks are almost con
vincing. His large audience was very
much pleased, and no doubt be made
many converts, but Randolph is a Harde
man stronghold, aud there is little doubt
that she will be represented by Harde
man delegates.
In the afternoon excitement centered in
glass ball shooting. Quite a number par
ticipated. Some very fine shots were en
tered, yet others caused a rise in the lead
market and decline in glass, due to the
sights of their guns not being in proper po
sition. Nothing of special interest with
the ba'ls transpired during the remainder
of the afternoon, and tlie visitors whiled
away the hours pleasantly viewing the ex
hibits. Friday-was the gaia day, as our
distinguished Georgian, Hon. Thomas
Hardeman, was expected to deliver one
of his characteristic agricultural addresses
and tlie fair ground was thronged in con
sequence of that announcement. His
speech was well received. It was fall of
instruction that was substantial, and
fanners would show their good sense to
follow the precepts set forth. He also
mingled humor with wisdom, and caused
his listeners to depart from the rostrum
feeling happier than when they came.
Politics were not introduced at all in his
remarks, but, by request of many friends,
lie consented to enlighten the people on
the political situation at Powell’s Hall,
which was tendered him by our public-
spirited citizen, Dr. T. S. Powell.
A slow mule race during the day made
the people think that their avoirdupois
would increase in consequence of tbe
hearty laugli which it produced, and
the sack race smoothed the wrinkles in
the furrowed countenances of the aged
who had not smiled iu a long space of
time. Several negroes were tied in sacks,
their heads only being exposed, and the
spectacle they presented in racing was too
ludicrous to describe. The tournament
was also an attractive feature, and many
plaudits went up for the victor.
Many other things of minor importance
miglit be mentioned, but I fear tliat I may
crowd your valuable columns. But now
to- Col. Hardeman.
At 3:80 o’clock lie faced a large audi
ence of our representative citizens, and
proceeded to touch on those things of tlie
administration of whicli all desired to get
an insight. He refuted the arguments of
Governor Colquitt in an able, clear and
comprehensive manner; yet his language
was mild but decisive, and the applause,
as he made points touching Colquitt’s
speech, was indicative of the teeling exist
ing in this section. It would afford much
pleasure to reproduce the field of his ar
gument, but it would require too much
space, and any effort on my part to give a
synopsis will meet with ignominious fail
ure.
Hardeman is very much beloved by our
people, wbo Will display it by casting tbeir
votes for him. “Hurrah for Hardeman!”
say we, and the echo reverberates through
this count}*.
Friday evening a grand musical concert,
under the direction of Prof. C. J. Wallace,
sustained by his pupils, afforded an enjoy
able pastime to those who appreciate the
charms of that which is beautiful, thrilling,
brilliant and melodious, and are governed
by the law of nature—“He that does not
Jove music hath no soul.” Tlie musical
talent of Cuthbert cannot be surpassed,
and,under the training of this polished mu
sician, it stands par excellence.
Saturday being the concluding scenes,
the attendance was not quite so large, but
a goodly number tnmed out to see the
baby show, in which much interest was
manifested. The picture tliat was pre
sented in the judges’ room was very much
admired by the old bachelors, and was
pleasing to the eye of the young man
whose index pointed him to the liymenial
altar, provided he had a sufficiency of this
world’s goods to face the music (crying
baby). A general assortment was on
exhibition and all looked the prettiest,
aud when the judges’ decision was ren
dered many mothers wended their way
homeward, knowing that their baby ought
to have received the prize.
A rifle match took place during the
day, range seventy-five yards, for a beef.
Several entries were made, and the shoot
ing was splendid, after which another
practice at glass balls wound up the
amusements of the day, except a horse
race, -which was very exciting, and mon
ey changed hands quite freely. During
the race one of the riders, who was lead
ing tlie other, wa3 thrown from his horse
against a fence, but was uot injured very
seriously, yet the claret flowed freely
from his proboscis,
The Cuthbert Cornet Band, which is
the best in the State for the short time it
has been practicing, discoursed sweet
music on all occasions, and was an at
tractive accessory to the fair.
Thus ended the Randolph fair. Long
may it wave its banners of prosperity in
the breezes of financial and agricultural
success, and live u> promote those inter
ests for which it was established. “C.”
Mercer University—Free Education.
Editors Telegraph and Messenger:
The friends of Mercer University higldy
appreciate your flattering notice of the in
stitution in your issue of July 2d. Per
mit tho writer, however, to present some
views of his own, somewhat at variance
with some of those which you express on
free cduca'ion in Mercer.
Mercer University was established by
the Baptists mainly for the education of
Baptist children. The first Baptist min
ister who came to tho State, in 1771, was
arrested for preaching and carried before
a civil magistrate (backed by an Episco
palian parson)'in Augusta, Ga. The first
college charter applied for by the Bap
tists was refused by the legislature.
Fifty years ago, the State college of
South Carolina was presided over by an
eminent scholar, Dr. Cooper. The presi
dent openly avowed infidel views on re
ligion," and was retained. These facts J 0 “ Er e4rily receiving in-
confirmed the Georgia Baptists in their !£■!».* Vhhre bten troubled-
opposition to entangling alliances with
church and state, and led to the founding
of Mercer University. Here they have
sought to educate their children, under
instructors of, their own faith and choice.
They asked of the State only a charter.
When the glittering offer of “unification”
was made a few years ago, they resolute
ly put it aside.
The writer thinks that free tuition in
Mercer University is not possible, at this
time, if ever.
1. Most of her endowment was given
forty years ago. The fathers who gave it
—while they managed the fund—never
gave free tuition to anybody under any
circumstances. A partial free list has
been made since; but tbe curators of tlie
fund will ever keep iu mind the spirit and
intention of the donors.
2. Baptists are in the habit of paying
for their hats, and shoes, and sugar and
salt, and houses and lands, and churches,
and education in commercial, medical
and law schools, and see no reason why a
callegiate classical education should be
an exception. They are neither paupers
nor beggars, aud try to transmit to their
boys the homely but mauly principle,
“Paddle your own canoe.”
3. The tuition, though small, is vital to
her success. If abandoned, the college
would virtually close her doors to-morrow.
The endowment can be increased only,
slowly from the hard-earned dollars of the
denomination. It may take ten or twenty
years to collect a fair endowment. Be
fore tliat time, the free tuition of the State
colleges will have done its worst.
4. Mercer University has ever striven to
elevate the standard of collegiate educa
tion. She lias had no hand in the pres
ent depreciation and degradation of that
name and standard. Her pride will pre
vent her adding to this blot upon the fair
escutcheon of the State.
A better remedy than free tuition to all
remains: Let the State Agricultural and
Mechanical College conform strictly to
the letter and spirit of the congressional
act, under which it was organized, and
give us an institution, such as many other
States have. The Empire State of the
South will then be proud of her agricultu
ral and mechanical college, and hundreds
of students will flock to iler halls, and to
those of Franklin, of Emory and of Mer
cer. A Baptist.

—Tho immigration received at the port
of New York during tho first six months
of 1S80 shows a larger total by 19,000
than the same period in 1872, which, un
til now, had stood as the highest figure of
the past twenty-five years. The total for
the plat six mouths is 177,000, or more
than three times the number of tbbSe Who
came during the same period of last year.
The New York Tribune says most of tbs
immigrants aro oi a much better class,
than those which have arrived in past
years.

Tns Inisn Crops.—A private letter
from Mr. T. (f. Dempsey of this place,
now in Dublin, speaks very encouraging
ly of the promise of food crops in Ireland,
and, indeed, throughout the kingdom; a'nd
Temperance Union.
Editors Telegraph vnd Messenger:
I make the following response in answer
to the numerous inquiries that have been
made in regard to the reason why the la
dies of the temperance society of Macon
have adopted the name, “Woman’s Chris
tian Temperance Union.”
This temperance movement began in
Ohio several years ago. Mother Stewart,
of Spriugfield, in that State, is generally
credited with its origin. The contagion
spread to other States and territories till
it extended from Maine to California.
The name “Woman’s Christian Temper
ance Union” was chosen because the
members wished to signiiy their inability
to effect anything uaaccompauied by re
ligious influences. It has been clearly
deironstrated tliat temperance work, un
aided by the churches, is productive of
small good.
Since then, a national “W. C. T. U.”
has been formed, composed of the State
organizations. It publishes a semi-month-,
lv paper in New York, entitled “Our'
Union."
Last summer, at the regular conven
tion of this National Union, a circular
letter was addressed to the ladies of the
South, and “Mother Stewart” appointed
to visit the Southern States. ' During her
visit ia Georgia, unions were formed in
Atlanta, Macon, Griffin and Forsyth.
There is also an international union.
The cabalistic letters, “W. C. T. U.,’
have reached tho United Kingdom.
During “Mother Stewart’s” visit there, so
cieties were formed in England, Ireland
and Scotland.
Why, way over in Calutta, even, the
temperance women have raised the same
standard that was first lifted in the
“Buckeye” State. So yon see, though
tlie society in Macon may not be an im
posing body of itself, it belongs to a large
and influential family. What did that
Southern newspaper man say?
He was in Cincinnati during a State
convention. He attended a meeting one
day, in order that he might amuse him
self, noting the eccentricities of these
singular females. To give his own
words: “I expected to see a mob of badly
dressed ill-bred woriien. Judge of my
surprise when I saw that-assembly of ele
gant ladies.” And he proceeded, in most
eulogistic terms, to speak of the dignity,
ease and grace, that characterized their
deliberations.
He is not the only one slow to learn
that cultivated, refined women, ean un
dertake work like this without losing one
jot, or tittle of their womanliness.
If I had only space I would like to
speak of the revolution that is being
slowly effected in social customs.
Everyone knows wliat Mrs. Hayes has
done in the “White House.” And the
ladies of the cabinet have generally con
formed to the same usages. It is also
true of many other ladies in the highest
social positions all over tlie couutry.
It is uot improbable that in a very few
years the annual spectacle of the new
year’s processions of intoxicated gentle
men, making social calls, will have be
come altogether obsolete. We will have
become convinced that the highest form
of hospitality does not consist iu bestial-
izing one’s friends—that the higher and
finer the civilization the further removed
from all gross forms of entertainment.
