FRIDAY, AUGUST 13,1SS0. —The New Orleans schools have been closed until there shall be money enough on hand to pay expenses. Teachers’ sal aries are already $175,000 in arrears. Reports from Minnesota to the na tional Democratic headquarters in Wash ington Show gains in some counties of from ten to thirty per cent, in Democratic favor. —General Garfield went all the way to New Yprk to attend a conference of Re publicans and didn’t attend after all. This is some of the comic part of the cam paign. Last December the London Peabody fund of $2,500,000 had grown to S3,500,- 000. The trustees up to that time had housed 0,005 persons in 2,355 separate dwellings. The average weekly earnings of the head of each family in a Peabody house were $0, the average rent $1, and a single room fifty cents. —The United States consul at Vera Cruz writes to the New Orleans board of health that the former city is one of the cleanest in the world, and that there is not a case of yellow fever or small-pox there, and no death from either has oc curred in six months. —An old lady from New Bedford visit ed Boston recently, for the first time, and, while viewing the attractions of the pub lic garden, was pointed out the bronze statue of Charles Sumner. “Well, I de clare,” the old lady remarked, “I never knew Sumner was a colored man be fore.” —At sunset a number of ladies and gen tlemen appear on the Atlantic City strand and play lawn tennis. The gentlemen are uniformed in white flannel suits, while their fair partners are habited in costumes of bunting and velvet, presenting a beau tiful contrast with the light-colored suits of the gentlemen. The games are wit nessed by a large number of spectators. —There is only a bare possibility of a compromise in Virginia., arid the regular Democrats have shoxifino disposition to make any bargains with the Readjusters, Some b^Hfeve that the split is so great that the^ii^publican State ticket will be elect- '' ed. There is a general impression, how ever, that Hancock will carry the State by a large majority. —Mr. Sherman, says the Nashville American, is not in favor of throwing money away on the Southern States. We are anxious to have a million or so scat tered around in the South. It will help business and it won’t hurt Democracy at all. If Mr. Sherman is going to open the treasury let us have a liberal expenditure down here. —A good deal of humor is just in the simplicity of a reply. A London tourist met a young woman going to the kirk, and, as was not unusual, she was carrying her boots in her hand, trudging along barefoot. “My girl,” he said, “is it cus tomary for all the people in these parts to go barefoot?” “Pairtly, they do,” said the girl, “and pairtly they mind their own business.” —Postmaster-General Key is the only member of the cabinet now in Washing- tfie capitaf"now, "’GenVral Key ought to get time to find out whether Assistant- Postmaster-Generai Brady is willing to have the defaulting postmaster of Rich mond turned out or not. It must be very unpleasant for Mr. Haye3 to realize that such a wicked man is allowed to stay in office under him. —The cheapest service in the world is that rendered by the great railways of the United Slates in transporting freight, During 1879 the average rate per ton per mile received by thirteen trunk linas was Only one cent and two-hundredths, while on several of these roads the average was below eight-tenths of a cent. Ever since 1873 the annual average has been down ward, and that without compulsion by legislatures. The Two LeContes.—A Columbia dispatch to the Keics and Courier, says: Prof. Joseph LeConte, who was elected to the chair of mineralogy and botany, has signified his acceptance of that posi tion in the faculty of the State Agricultu ral College. His nephew, Col. Louis Le Conte, who for several years post has been acting an assistant attorney-general of the Jstate, has goue to Washington, Colorado, prospecting for a suitable location to settle permanently. y —The Democratic campaign in Wiscon sin is progressing more vigorously and hopefully than any that has occurred since the war. Reports from nearly every town in the State show that Republicans are de claring for Hancock, while there is scarce ly an instance of Democratic desertion. The national tieket is regarded as the strongest that could hare been named, and its popularity loses nothing as time goes on. Senator Barn tun, chairman of the national Democratic committee, says that there will be a largely increased Demo cratic vote in Wisconsin. General Garfield, oays the Phila delphia Times, will have many oppor tunities to speak on his journey home ward, and he will do himself, his party and his country credit by -one of two straightforward utterances. He cohld do no better than to choose some fitting oc casion, when his largest audience is likely to be before him, to repeat the following patriotic words from his recent speech in Congress on tire political situation: So far as I have studied the current of pub lic thought and of political feeling in this country, no feeling has shown itself more strongly than the tendency of the public mind in the past few months. The man who attempts to get up a political excite ment in this country on t}ie old sectional issues will find himself without a party and without support. The man who wants to serve his country must put himself in the line of its leading thought, and that is the restoration of business, trade, com merce, industry, sound political economy, hard money and honest payment of all obligations; and the man who can add anything in the ‘direction of the accom plishment oi any of these purposes is a public benefactor. J last Week’s Cotton Figures. - The Chop Situation. According to the New York Chronicle the receipts of the seven days, ending last Friday night, were S,9S2 hales, against 3,945 for the corresponding week of last year. The total receipts from 1st of iast September were 4,S99,SS4 against 4,440,101 for the corresponding period of the cotton year 1878-9, showing a gain of 459,783 bales. The interior port receipts of the same days were 2,SCO bales, against C91 for the same week of last year. The ship ments were 10,984, against 1,009, and the stocks on Friday footed up 41.507, bales against 13,049 at the same date last year. The Chronicle's visible supply table showed on Friday night last, 1,531,071 bales of cotton in sight, against 1,224,G9S the year before at the same date; 1,274, 800 in 1S78, and 1,951,080 in 1877 at same date. These figures show an in crease of 300,973 bales on the visible sup ply of last year—an increase of 250,005 on the visible supply of the year before,and a decrease of 420,215 hales on the visible supply of 1877 at the same dates. Mid dling upland in the Liverpool market last Friday, was quoted at 013-10. At the same date last year the quotation was 0 5-10. In 1S7S it was Of, and in 1877, at same dale, it wjls sixpence. The Chronicle appends the following to its table of receipts from plantations: The above statement snows— 1. That the total receipts from the plantations since September 1 in 1670-80 were 4,934,090 bales; in 1878-9 were 4,- 449,852 bales; in 1877-8 were 4,255,023 bales. 2. That, although the receipts at the out ports the past week were S,9S2 bales, the actual movement from plantations was only 858 bales, the balance being drawn from stocks at the interior ports. Last year the receipts from the planta tions for the same week were, 3,028 bales, and for 1878 they were 410 bales. The Chronicle’s weather telegrams of last Friday from the cotton-growing region say, that in consequence of too much rain the reports from cateipillars have become more pronounced, and there is danger of much harm in the Gulf and Mississippi valley States, if we do not have hot and diy weather soon. As to Texas, Galveston reports only one shqwer during the week. Picking is going on finely, and crop developing well There is a probability that the whole State will produce more cotton than can bo gathered, although some localities report damage from excessive rain and caterpillars. The rainfall in July was 2.48. Eleven bales of new cotton had come in—making twenty in all. ...In. Jn- dianbla three'" light rains of five-hun dredths of an inch daring the week; 3.76> during July; picking beginning—crop promising. Corsicana, rainfall in July 3.39—during the week 0.04. Dallas, ram in the week 0.45—in July 2.50. Thermometrical range 59 to 73; average 08. Crop considered safe. Wages of pickers high and fanners sending abroad for bands. Brenham, rainfall of the week 0.50—of July six inches. Too much rain, caterpillars increasing but no damage yet. Prospects marvelously good. In Louisiana, rainfall of the week 2.04, rainfall in July 11.22. Shreveport, three days of clouds and rain during the week, but only half an inch of fall, four days clear and cool. In Mississippi, at Colum bus, rain on two days of the week 4.68, caterpillar and boll worm threatening, but little or no damage yet. Vicksbuig sends no report, and tbe same of Little Rock, Arkansas. Memphis had three days of light rain, mercury 59 to 95, average 75; nights cool. Much damage feared from boll worm. In Nashville, the mercury has ranged from 62 to 91, with an average of 76. Cool nights are complained of. In Alabama, at Mobile, there were four days of rain in the week and a fall of 2.02. Rainfall in July 4.52. Weather lia3 been too cool and wet—causing rust, shedding and superfluous growth. Boll worm fear- ^ ancf caterpillars feared, In Selma, too much rain. Caterpillars re ported everywhere and doing great dam age. In Florida, rust 'and dropping are complained of. In Georgia, at Columbus, rain every day of the week, and rainfall reached 5.20. Rainfall in July 1.09. At Macon, rainfall of the week 2.84. Rain fall in July 5.42. [Tire Telegraph re ported it 2.07, which we have no doubt was correct.] In Augusta, rain on three days, heavy and general—fall 2.20. Rain fall in July 5.98. Crop accounts good. A Traveling Canvass for the Presi denev. Wc live in an age of change. -Fancy Gen. Washington or Gen. Jackson travel ing around the country and canvassini among the people for a nomination or election to the presidency. _ Garfield’s present performance is a remarkable one, even compared with the fashions intro duced by Grant and Hayes. But Garfield, when be returns home, should take time and study out at leisure a hundred two minute speeches, which should, at least, have the merit of Sense and aptitude. His speeches are positively silly. The New York lament that any white people are to be found in the Southern States is tbe single exception. This had the merit of originality. He had studied it out, and It was apparently Vbe chief object of his mission to unfurl, personally, at the me tropolis, the flag of the bloody shirt and sectional discord, which he was lately of opinion should be stmek. Akfield Jnd Gap.theu’s glorious bid for negro votes, in New York, on Satur day, indicates distrust and distress, Garfield did not intend to do anything of the kind, when he first hung out his sign; but the truth is, prospccU were hot good, and it was found necessary to go back into the old line of trade, “lyhite man,” says Garfield, are “mighty unsartin,” but you can depend on the nigger. He never refused to stand treat, nor got you to pulling at an empty bottle. For my part, I wish there were no white men m the country! Don’t you McArthur f “That I do,” says Garthur. “If every body was a negro, there w6uld be no firing on the old flag, no fuss about the Credit Mobilier, no opposition to paving contracts, or false counts, or false ac counts, or returning boards, or whisky rings; biit everything would be lovely. You would go in, Garfield, without counting the votes, and before they were polled.” “I dpn’t know about that,” says Gar field. “I am not so sure. I don’t want the nigger before the nominating conven tion, bnt after it. The best way, perhaps, would be to keep a few whites to. manage things, aud the blacks to do the voting.” “That’s the old slavery platform,” says Arthur, “aud if you can’t do better than that, say nothing about it.” Young Married People. There is no one epoch in American married life, which is fraught with so much solicitude and responsibility, as the hour when vows are spoken and faith plighted, and the twain become one—one in sentiment, one In purpose, one in all that pertains to life. At this juncture, one of the most seiions mistakes is made, not imfrequently. In stead of gaing forth with the blessings of friends, and at the high tide of conjugal affection to a home of their own, they foolishly seek quarters at some public hoarding house or hotel. It is all meant in kindness, we admit, but it is neverthe less a grievous error. The new made wife, if she be a true woman, does not askfor a life of idleness. She would much prefer making a home of her own attractive, even if it shonld be a rented one, than to sit with folded hands, waiting for her lord. Her ready wit and willing hand would rather be preparing some surprise that would awaken pleas ure in the heart of him, with whom she has coupled her destiny. And this would only beget within him a desire to render home as attractive and loveable as his means would allow aud his affections dictate. It is an absolute unkindness to the young wife to deprive her of the pleasures of early housekeeping, and to doom her to a life of idleness in a crowded boarding house. Thousands of young wives have had their happiness wrecked by this mis taken kindness, in placing them in the midst of the temptations that always sur round the idle. This do-nothing existence which prevails at a boarding house, be gets habits of indolence, a taste for gossip, a tendency to flirtation, and then—domes tic misery and woe. The danger lies in the want of healthy duties to perform Idleness is no more a woman’s normal sphere than it is man’s. The wife grows impatient of this restraint. She cannot sit with folded hands, like an automaton, waiting for her meals; for our best developments arise from the proper use of our physical powers, as well as those of the mind. When our surround ings are snch that there is nothing to think about, then the hour of danger has arrived. The wife wearies of solitude, aftd in lack of employment she seeks com panionship, and of necessity finds com panions among other idle persons, simi larly situated as herself; and this is a step in the wrong direction. She tires of con finement in the house. She goes upon the streets with no special aim—sitn ply, it may be, to be amused. ' It is’ an error, nevertheless, for the street is more attractive than the solitude of her room,and consequently she is found most of her time on the street. As a result the iron of disappointment enters her soul, and not unfrequently ends in mis ery, separation and death. We believe that a home in the sim plest cottage, with the duties growing out of home life, is infinitely to be preferred for a young married couple than the most luxurious apartments at a public board ing house. A Campaign of Detraction. While Virginia, Georgia aud most probably Tennessee, are discreditably crippling themselves for self-vindication by irreconcilable controversies over can didates, the recent demonstrations in the North and West show beyond doubt that we are on the eve of another grand cam paign of misrepresentation and slander, in which all the powers and resources of the Federal government will be exhausted in holding these Southern States up to infamy, as treasonable, factious, intoler ant, irreconcilable. Heretofore, the Southern whites have been able to meet these aspersions with a calm and mild front. They have done us immense in jury no doubt. The rebuttal has been imperfect. The press and the ear of tbe world have been open to the assault and . .... —www tbb~ aeiensc. But Southern moderation lias borne good fruit, and it was impossible to conceal tbe fact that these chronic onslaughts of slander were strictly partisan and waged for selfish and corrupt ends. But this year the leading Southern States meet them at war among them selves. These States come before the world with a practical confession of tlieir own intolerant and inharmonious temper. It is as unfortunate a condition, in view of what we must encounter, as can well be imagined or conceived. For while we are assailed as solid and persist- ly bad and rebellious, so far a3 other sec tions of the Union are concerned, we con fess our iiiability to agree on points of domestic administration. But, though thus self-disarmed before the advancing foe, wc are compelled to make the best defense we can. The deadlock at Atlanta in no manner reflects the opinions and feelings of the great body of the Democratic people of Georgia- Not one in a hundred desired to push per sonal preferences at the sacrifice of gen eral harmony. The so-called “deadlock” grows out-of the active preliminary can vass in the election of delegates, wherein these personal committals of counties are assumed to be far more stringent and un compromising than they were intended to be, by the vast majority of those dbn- ccrncd in making them. If this be doubted, let another appeal be tasttle to tbe people, and anothor^nnvention be held next month. The DeSfocratie party, as a mass, have no Idea of an Irreconcila ble quarrel about men. We say, speaking generally, that since the war no temper has distinguished Georgia Democracy so much as a spirit of accommodation. In aisuprenie desire to satisfy the Northern States that we asked nothing at their balj& bat fair aud im partial government, Georgia has steadily discouraged.every candidacy for federal office from this section, and has thrown her ballots for men best calculated to allay Northern distrust. No record of political pf military hostility to her sec tion has stood in the way of her support. She voted for. Greeley and she will this year vote for Hancock. All she asks is honest and Impartial administration; bat that is just what tbe so-called Republican party is oiganized to prevent. It insists bn a monopoly of Federal power and wealth in its own personal and sectional interest, and never, until this concession is made, will she admit that “the rebellion has ceased.” EDITORIAL GLIMPSES. Plenty of Money fob Florida. —The Republican executive committee in New, Jjeceit there, York on Saturday decided to give Florida — plenty of money. Hicks will take care of it. At the Washington Democratic head quarters on Saturday there was a boom at “highly enthusing” reports which were believed to be better than empty sound but not so good as hard cash. We have received a publication styled flie Book-Keeper. From a partial survey of its columns we shonld judge it a capital publication. It is full of information to that select class of our population known as book-keepers. It is published at 76 Chambers street, New York. Address Book-Keeper Publishing Company. How in the world is it that William Arp, Esq., has strayed over into Alabama. It seems he has been “taken up” over there, and the citizens of Tuskegee pro pose to “ran him.” It is strange that Mrs. Arp would let him get so far from home. Mr. Hayes still says: “Incapacity and incorapetency in the office under your charge,” Mr. Arthur, is what the adminis tration charges you with. The Radicals have never succeeded inducing Mr. Hayes to take it hack yet. The State Convention is an illustration of the old proverb about the wolf. Having got the wolf by the ears, they don’t know how to let go. TnE eternal fitness t>f things was most forcibly illustrated by Beecher coming out iu favor of Garfield. One perjurer ought to stand up for another. Don Cameron’s purse-strings refuse to relax at the demand of Marshal Jewell. He invested $5,000 in Mr. Hayes’ cam paign, and he has never got even with the fraud yet. The Democratic paity is dying in At lanta of vindication. It is of the most personal type. The majority want to ad minister Colquitt, and the minority a compound, consisting of Hardeman, Les ter, Gartrell and Warner, or somebody else, and in the meantime the patient is dying. The majority want to vindicate their assertion that Colquitt would be nominated, and the minority waut to vin dicate their assertion that that he would not he. Just this and nothing more. Ir is said that Lord Roscoe was so much absorbed in Dr. Tanner and his success that he forgot that Garfield was in the city. He ate too much watermelon and that was the reason he did net attend the Garfield love feast at the Fifth Avenue Hotel. W. Watkin Hicks has been appointed lieutenant to Marshal Jewell for the State of Florida. He will make the money fly. He has about as much judgment in the expenditure of money as a ten-year-old boy. It will be well scattered, and the people of Florida will be that much better ofl, when Hancock is elected. We have received the August number of the Southern Enterprise, published at Atlanta, J. S. Newman, editor. It is well filled with useful aud entertaining matter. Subscription, $1.50 per annum. A. H. Clark, of Groton, has a ram that thinks. It thinks enough to butt apple trees, when there is fruit on them, until the apples drop off, when it stops thinking and goes to eating.—Exchange. Now, we will show the case of a hog with thoughtful powers as great as this ram’s. Many years ago, one summer evening, a Lowndes county cart drew up to a store iu view from a door where we were sitting. The owner of the cart took his horse from between the shafts and hitched him to one of the wheels, and then proceeded to execute numerous com missions from his own and the families around him. While he was at this work, taking many parcels of domestic produce from the cart and returning with other parrels, including numerous jugs of whisky, a hog drew near, one of these old street wanderers, and began to pick up tbe grains of corn which liad dropped through the rough split bottom of the cart. Having gathered every grain, he next proceeded to strike the cart with his nose, lifting it up and letting it down vio lently-shaking out more grains, eating them, and then repeating the opera- tipn, always with more or less success. But while pursuing this game with .great address, and—intallincnce.- I 1 ’- owner oTThe cart was modifying its centre of gravity a good deal by frequent changes of freight—taking out parcels and substituting otliers. The hog, driven away by his approach, would return to the assault with new vigor when he withdrew, and finally, after an extra ordinary lift and shake, the cart body tipped up and settled down rearward with violence—the horse started and drew ofl the wheel to which he was tied, and the whole fabric, freight and all, went to wreck, Some dozen or so of whisky jugs, broke by collision, and their contents poured on the ground. The startled owner rushed out of the store, a ludicrous picture of con sternation and woe, aud his neighborhood lost its whisky—a calamity all resulting from the reasoning powers of a hog. And we dare say a good many of our readers have seen street hogs shake country carts in the same way to get at the grains detach ed from tho ear, so that the ram cited gathered appples by butting, showed no unequaled sagacity. The Training of Little -SorIs. It is well enough to deal in pleasantry sometimes, but anxious mothers want se rious and sober councils. Little faces look into theirs every day and question “Why?” “Who?” “What?” “Where?” Littlo souls need training; little wills must be taught to bond; little selfish hearts to open gently, tenderly to human calls; little bodies to be kept beautiful and fresh. O Infinite influence of moth erhood ! After long experience with chil dren I have become fully convinced that the most of children are untruthful. Who is to blame? Far be it from mo to ac cuse any parent of i.ntenffonal wrong, yet there is a Wrong somewhere. Let me give you an example or two: One morn ing there came into my school room a sweet, pretty woman, the mother of one of my pupils. She came to talk about hor heart’s idol, her “boy.” Said she to mb, “Of all things else I want ofTny boy is that he shall be honest; now toll ine frankly if he is.” That boy had the most sneaking and sly ways of any child I alihost ever knew. When questioned by his mother I of course felt I niust tell her the truth, fearful as it was. I can see her as the quick tears sprang to her eyas—but she was to blame immeasurably for that child’s character. She was a business woman, and could make shrewder bargains than almost any man I ever knew; her UTe was a constant deceit. It will pay to teach the little ones from tiniest chjld- hood, not by word only, but by your own faithful example, tbe bjessedness of per fect, sturdy honesty. It is not when the resolutions and firm determinations are fresh in the heart that we err, but it is when tiled and vexed and burdened with work, on “cross-days,” in order to hold and control for the time, that there is practiced a bit of stratagem here, a little Davis on Hancock. One of the most muscular demonstra tions for General Hancock is the letter of Judge David Davis, Of Illinois, which appears in our telegrams to-day. There is meat and marrow in every word of it. He talks with the hark on, and the whole country (at least the unprejudiced part of it) will he struck with the force and con clusiveness of his views. This is a letter which is bound to tell In the formation of the great popular verdict against Radical ism, which we do not doubt will be heavy and conclusive. The letter is not too long to be read by everybody. OpenlUoain Htocks. The present activity aud rise in stocks tbe forerunner of a continued active and rising fnarket.

Send for their report, containing full information, free. A Thriving City. During our late ramble wc spent sev eral days in the thriving city of Ft. Wayne, Ind. It is tlie chief city of north ern Indiana, and its commercial impor tance is increasing every year. Its growth of population has been great during the last two decades, until now within the corporate limits there are over 25,000 in habitants. Fort Wayne is a great rail road centre. Two of the largest railroad combinations are operating roads through this point. The Wabash, St. Louis aud Pacific, under control of Jay Gould, and the Pittsburgh, Fort Wayne and Chicago, under control of the Pennsylvania Cen tral. These ran from east to west. Then there are two running north and south, from Detroit, Michigan, to Cincinnati, Ohio. In addition to these the Wabash and Erie canal passes through the city. The city i3 celebrated for its colleges and public schools. Perhaps no State in the Union excels Indena in her public school system. She has the 'most ample means, and, therefore, ought to command the best talent in the country. Her school fund amounts to $9,000,600. The State is paying- 6 per cent, on nearly half this amount. The remainder is let to indi vidual borrowers, and no one allowed to norrow more than $1,000 at 8 per cent. In addition to this permanent fund, Prof. Smart, superintendent of public instruc tion, says that the school property of the State will amount to $12,000,000. Fort Wayne has this system in admirable run ning order. The city has some of the most extensive business houses in the West. Tlieir busi ness connections extend to Colorada, Cali fornia and Oregon, and a very extensive trade is growing with these points. And last, but by no means least, the city is thoroughly Democratic, as well as Allen county and the twelfth congression al district, of which it is the center. Hon. W. G. Colerick will return to Congress with 1,500 majority at least, while In diana will give Hancock and English a glorious send off. The South and the Census, The unlucky Southern States seem bound to get into trouble, whether they will or no. This time the census is doing it—absolutely outraging the North and West by showing a more rapid growth in population. Now, everybody knows, or ought to kaow, that considering the hor rid social disorders which have ruled tri- umphaut in the Southern States during the last decade—tlie many millions of negroes said to have, been murdered, as set forth in the kuklux testimony printed by Congress—the countless thousands of «jfugitives” who have run off to Kansas and elsewhere, that these Southern States had no right to grow. And yet the cen sus figures show that they have grown, and, what is more, they have grown faster than the North—faster than even the West, which has hitherto pretty much monopolized the business of growing We will not publish the figures by which these facts arc demonstrated, be cause, although official, they are in some respects incomplete. But returns, mostly official, from twenty-eight States and three territories are printed, showing a popula tion of 30,710,152, against 31,090,094 in 1870, and indicating an aggregate gain of of 8,020,590, or neai-ijr iuiv ntir cent. Now, of these, seventeen Northern aud~Westeru States show a total population of 25,234,- 253, and an increase of 4,850,592, or 23.50 percent. Tlie eleven Southern States have a total population of 14,238,331, an in crease of 3,071,0S7, or 34.70 percent. The five Southern States to be heard from may bring down tlie percentage of the South to about 33. It is not probable that it will go below that. On tbe other hand, the five Northern States to be heard from will not increase the percentage of that section. It is not likely to he above 23, all the fast growing States having reported. The total population of tho country will be about 50,000,000 ; that of the South IS,- 060,000. These figures indicate a gain of nine or ten Congressmen, if the number under the new apportionment remains at 293. If the number is increased the gain of the South will increase proportion ately. These revelations are unexpected and gratifying to the South, not merely in the facts themselves, bnt also as the harbin gers of more signal results in the future. The Seuth wants lifting up as to a sense of her own capacity for progress. Wchave heard so much poor talk from the North ern brethren—we have been ridiculed so much for our lack of progress that really It will help us to know that, after all, in spite of our lack of immigration we are growing faster than they are, with all their advantages. Every man will look with greater hope and confidence' on our vast area of un cultivated lands. Timo and patience will bring them into demand. The fact that we have gtpwn faster than the West iu the last ten years, will put a new value on them, and wo shall outstrip the West at a double rate iu tho next decade, and when •oqce foreign immigration has taken a set tlfis way, our progress will he unprece dented, because it will be sb liberally re warded. When Southern crops come to be cultivated with the rigid economy and industry applied to those of the North west, and the results become known tho world over, the wave of immigration will surprise everybody by its extent anil grandeur. These figures, too, will set all the Northern politicians to thinking. Their consequences are not alone a loss of rela tive federal power, when they counted on a heavy gain, but will raise. the question about the “star of empire” in the future. It Is not certain that this star will move westward forever. The vast regions of the South may yet contend for supremacy, and at all events the pettifoggying arts of pander to the colored population will look little enough iu tbe prospect of the speedy development of a great white pop ulation. —The' Cincinnati Gazette is. astonished at the gains in population in tbe Southern States. It had made up its mind to have things otherwise, and is satisfied there is gome fraud about it. McDonald’s Book. “When rogues fall out honest men may get their dues,” says the proverb. Ex-Supervi3or of Internal Revenue John McDonald, perhaps tlie original engineer of those enormous" whisky frauds in the Northwest, has at last produced his record book of bribes, coiruption and general villainy, which splashes the whole Grant administration. This book wa3 prepared in anticipation of a third term canvass, and intended to demolish it. But as nearly all the prominent politicians who surround Garfield, as well as Garfield himself, are implicated by tlie book, it still has a special application to the can vass as it stands, which purposes to put the whole college of rogues in power again. •We can’t copy the book or any consid erable part thereof; but tho following brief extracts may give a taste of its quality: The fourth chapter of General McDon ald’s book closes as follows: “Shortly after my return to St. Louis in 1874,1 told Colonel Joyce that it would be well to make another small contribution to the President and General Babcock. To do this we procured a box of tho finest cigars we could find and inclosed in the box with the cigars a $1,000 bill, which we sent by express addressed to Colonel Babcock. In due time McDonald re ceived a letter from General Babcock ac knowledging the receipt of those cigars with incliEure, to which was added that we—referring to Grant and himself—en joyed the excellent flavor of those cigars.” “In January, 1874, a revenue agent vis ited St. Louis' and made some examina tions; I was not in the city- at the time, and after I returned to Washington I was in doubt as to his report of the visit. In all apparent security there was still a dread lest knowledge of our operations should reach Bristow, and in order to as certain the object and result of the agent’s visit I sent Joyce to Washington to secure the necessary information. Shortly after his arrival in Washington I received the following dispatch ; “‘Washington, January 21,1874. “ •General John McDonald, St. Louis: “Everything looks well; send on report; feel hunkey. John.’ “On the following day Colonel Joyce wrote me the following, which fully ex plains this telegram: “‘Ebbitt House, Washington, June 22, 1S74. « ‘Dear General: Well, it is. after 11 o’clock, and, just before retiring, I will give you my ■ day’s rambles in my brief style: I saw and talked with Douglas, Clayton, Babcock, the 1’iesident, Belknap, Rogers and Avery. You can just imagine what I said to each, and can just bet your last nickel that I got what I wanted. The White House people were very pleasant and Douglas was all peaches and honey. Brasher has not authority to visit St. Louis, and if he troubles you or yours put him where he will do the most good. I am going to ride with Bab. Just keep our kettle boiling, and don’t let anything interrupt the good cause of patriotism. “ ‘Yours always, Jno. A. Joyce. “On another occasion a rumor reached St. Louis that revenue agents were agaiu to be sent here. Joyce wrote a letter to Avery in a whining tone to know if this was true and asking him if he did not feel authorized to reply to see Babcock or the President. Babcock wa3 absent and Avery took the letter to President Grant, who endorsed it as follows: ‘Joyce and McDonald are trustworthy. Let them have the information they want. U. S. Grant.’ ” Gen. McDonald relates the following story about his presentation of a SO,000 pair of horses and a buggy to the Presi dent, the conversation taking place in the executive office of the While House: “Said I, General, I have some papers in connection with the team which, witli my explanation, I wish to give you.” He asked me to come on the following day at noon, saying lie would he at leisure. I told the President I had the papers with me, and if he could spare me a few mo ments, I’d give them to him. Then he as sented, and together with me walked into the executive room, where I handed him all the bills, which were in his name, for every article Colonel Joyce and I had purchased in completing the buggy and outfit, each bill being receipted in full. At the same time I ashed him to give me a small sum of money, so as to enable me to say, if the question were asked, that I had sold the team to him. lie hauded me a $50 bill, which I declined, assuring ■ him that a much smaller sum would an swer my purpose. He next gave me $10, and 1 returned him $7 in change, leaving me with the sum of $1 for a $0,000 outfit. One-half of the actual expense of the team, buggy and harness, and the cost of -wasnortation, was nail! Ja .me By Colonel Joyce, ttKo united with me in making the present. On one occasion I told him I had giv, n Babcock $5,00O, which I remarked was a part of the proceeds of our campaign fund In St. Louis. He assured me it was all right as be had intrusted Babcock with the details of Western matters, and what ever we did with him—Babcock—would be quite satisfactory, and added: “I will see to it, however, that you get all the changes ycu want.’ I then explained to him what an ‘uncompromising old hog,’ as I used the term, tlie Globe was, that we were compelled to give the paper from $500 to $1,200 every week in order to pacify it, and keep it for us in the com ing campaign. His reply was: ‘Well, you must do the best you can.’ Gen. Grant then requested me to get into his buggy and take a ride with him, which I did out nearly to Bladensburg and return, making a circuit of the city and driving through all the principal streets. During our ride the conversation recurred to political matters, aud chiefly on his prospects fora third term. He mentioned the names of several parties who, he thought, would possibly be candidates. Among these were Governor Morgan, of New York; Conkling, Logan and Blaine. He criti cised each of these and seemed. to think his chances were much better Ilian those of the parties discussed. Communicated. Vienna, Ga., August 9. Editors Telegraph and Messenger As you havo published, as per your cor respondent, the proceedings of the Demo cratic executive committee of Dooly coun ty, with the abstract of the returns of the primary election on the 30th ult., I re spectfully ask you, injustice to myself, to truth, and the actual state of affairs, to publish the report iu full of the election, ‘ and my letter in the Hawkinsvillc Dis patch of the 5th iust. (We have not these papers, and presume Mr. Woodward's statement will be sufficient.—Eds.] If tho whole truth had been told I would be perfectly content, hut my many friends in Bibb county and throughout the State will know that I was not a can didate in said nomination, by the figures reported by Dr. C. T. Stovall, as the re sult of said primary election. His father, Dr. S. B. Stovall, my opponent, had en tered into a written and published agree ment with me, signed bjTCach of us, that negroes would not he allowed to vote in said primary election or nomination, it answe r: being contrary to the rales of conventions of opposing parties. Dr. Stovall went back on the agreement, and both himself and son used many art ful means to use the agreement to my in jury with the negroes in the nomination. [, therefore, on learning the action in the premises, sent written notices to each and every precinct in the county, and saw Dr. Stovall In person and stated that, for tho above reasons, I was not a candidate in the primary election of that day, hut was a candidate for senator for the fourteenth senatorial district, subject to the Demo cratic nomination, if any be held. Justice and a fair deal is all I ask, and, ‘if such be allowed me, I will heat Dr. Stovall too bad to skin. Rospectfully, •John H. Wpodward. From New Brunswick.—We are in debted to Dr. John P. Holmes for several St. Johns (New Brunswick) Daily Tele graphs. American topics are almost as prominent in. the Telegraph as in any United States paper. FARM AND HOME. WHEAT PLANTING. As in all other crops, in raising wheat if we would have the best results, thor ough and timely preparation of the soil is essential. And now is the time for that preparation to he commenced. Stiff red ■land is generally admitted to be the best for wheat. This should be closely and deeply broken, that is, ploughed seven or eight inches deep with a good two-horse turn plow, followed in eveiy furrow with a subsoiler. After the growth of grass and weeds which has been turned under by this ploughing has .had time to become perfectly decomposed, if the soil is at all hard and cloddy, we would recommend a cross ploughing with long, sharp scooters, and, as a mellow, pulverized bed for the drill to work in is of the last importance, just before planting the ground should be harrowed until every lump and clod has been reduced to powder. Then, with a wheat drill-Ewald Over’s Victorone-horse wheat drill is the best and cheapest wa have seen—the seed should be sown in October, from tho 7th to tho 15th for north Geoigia, and from the 20th to the 31st for middle and south Geoigia. When the seed is planted it is well to roll the land with a two-horse roller, driving the roller m the same direction as the drills. The rolling compacts the earth round the grain, causes it to germinate more rapidly, is an almost certain safeguard against “spewing” from frost, and completes the thorough pulverization of the soil. Some may object that this mode of preparation is too expensive. This is a mistake. The large increase in the yield and its im proved quality will amply repay the out lay in preparing the land. But if any of my farmer friends doubts what we say as to this, we beg him to mako the experi ment on a small scale, say one or two acres, and next June report the result. We are positive that if he does so he will be convinced. Seed.—Much depends on the selection of seed, and its preparation. That which will mature earliest, has the stifiest straw and the largest proportion of grain to straw is the best. Having mane your selection, fan it thoroughly, then steep it for eight or ten hours before planting in strong lime or a solution of blue-stone, stirring it frequently and removing the light and imperfect seeds that float ou the surface, and then roll the seed in plaster to make it dry enough to pass readily through the drill. From a peck to a peck and a half of seed is amply sufficient to plant an acre with the drill to which I have referred. Manure.—We have found by repeated experiment that the standard superphos phates are better fertilizers for wheat than stable manure, or even than cotton seed. While the last-mentioned manures seem to be most effective in the first period of the crop’s growth, the superphosphates produce the most and heaviest grain. From 150 to 200 pounds of superphos phates, sown broadcast and ploughed in with scooters.at the cross-ploughing recom mended above, is about the quantity we would advise to be employed. Cultivation.—One of tho chief advan tages of drilling wheat is that the crop can be ploughed or hoed. This should be done once before the winter sots in, and once or .twice in the early spring. The drills should be twelve or fourteen inches apart. At the first cultivation in the spring, if the amount of fertilizers used at planting does not exceed 150 pounds, a second application in the middle furrow of 100 pounds per acre, will he found very beneficial. Rust.—Last year was, we believe, ex ceptionally disastrous from the wide pre valence of rust. But we should not be so discouraged by one year’s failure as to abandon wheat culture. It is true that many of the hitherto approved preventives of rust proved utterly valueless. For in stance, many years’ experience had led us to believe that seed imported from a Northern latitude was less liable to rust than that raised South, and that it was even better to use seed raised on another plantation than that produced at home. For a number of years we imported our seed from Pennsylvania, New York, Maryland or Virginia, and while our neighbors were troubled with rust, our crop was exempt. We had almost come to the conclusion that Northern raised seed was rust proof in our climate. But alas! last year’s experience has rudely shaken our belief. We planted six differ ent plats, using six different kinds of seed, raised all the way from Canada to Ten nessee, tbe crops of all were infested with rust, that from the Canada seed being un fit to cut! An old farmer in the neigh borhood attributed the disaster to our having sown wheat after sweet potatoes. We cannot accept this as a good and valid reason. Neither do we accept one year’s failure as conclusive. We mean, like Gen. Miller, of revolutionary fame, “to pick cur flint and try again.” TURNIPS. In many portions or our statu tne se vere drought of June and July has mate rially injured the com crop. In a twenty- five mile ride, a week or ten days ago, through Greene comity and a portion"of Putnam, where the farmers told us they had had no rain for teu weeks, the com crop is utterly destroyed. It does not look as if it would yield a peck to the acre. The only resource now is to plant largely of turnips. It is still time to plant ruta bagas. We advise those of' our friends whom the drought has injured, to resort to this remedy. We believe in turnips, drought or no drought. They are excel lent stock food, ana turnip grcons with jowl are not to be despised. HYDRAULIC BASIS. The long drought of this summer has caused many to seek information in re gard to hydraulic rams a3 the means of el evating water from a spring or branch to supply water for the use of the house, lot, and garden. We have received several letters of inquiry on this subject. The theory, we believe, of hydraulic rains is that one will elevate one-sixth of the wa terflowing into it to a height of eight feet for every foot of fall from the spring to the ram, anil that this power is immensely in creased by every additional foot of fall. A fall of three feet would, it is said, elevate the water from forty to fifty feet. The ram should be placed near a nev- cr-faiiing^ipriug, where It is not liable to be overflowed or clogged. Tho price of tlie nun—of average size—is about $25 or $30. Tho main expense is the pipe; and this deponds, of course, upon the ^length of pipe required. HOW TO DRY TEACHES. A friend has asked us to let hit» know through these columns the best way to dry peaches for home consumption. The late William N. White, a very high authority on horticulture, lias given the following: “Take the peaches of the best quality just as they are ripe enough to eat; halve them, remove the stone and sprinkle over them in the hollow a little nice sugar; dry them in the oven after the bread or pastry has been withdrawn. They are far better than if dried in the sun, retaining their aroma and flavor, besides being entirely free from insects. Thus prepared they are only inferior to fresh fruit in flavor.” TIME TO SOW BARLEY. A“y<iung farmer 1 ' in southeastern Ala bama asks us what is the best time to sow barley and how much sdfed per acre. We answer: The best time to sow is tlie mid dle of September. Two bushels of seed per acre on rich, well prepared land are sufficient. Wa. Browne. Athens, Ga., August Cth. extract. 8 ' b l a ^ n ?®.“' ti ; n -V C ' intrali *U Hemor.
