THURSDAY, AUGUST 19, 1880.
—Mr. Alexander Williams, of Boston,
owns a cane which, it Is said, he 13 about
to present to General Hancock. The cane
is about 150 years old, with a carved head
on which is the name of the first owner,
Thomas Ilancock, an eminent merchant
of Boston, who in 1737 built the well re
membered Ilancock house on Beacon
street.
—Col. John W. Forney addressed a large
Democratic meeting in Philadelphia,
Thursday evening, in advocacy of the
election of Gen. Ilancock as president.
He was followed by Gen. A. L. Pearson,
of Pittsburg, who was a Grant delegate
to the Chicago convention, but now an
enthusiastic Ilancock man.
—A saw-mill at Kehobotb, B. L, was
burned in a curious way the other day.
The mill was.not running, but it is sup
posed that the large amount of rain which
fell raised the pond so high that it started
the wheel, and the machinery was run so
rapidly without oiling that the '“friction
produced fire, which was communicated
to the mill.
—A curious sight in St. Louis is that of
a bearded, intelligent looking man of 40,
playing with great zest at marbles, rolling
a hoop, flying a kite, or walking on stilts
with the children of his neighborhood. In
spite of Ills imposing head, he is scarcely
the equal in mental development.of the
children with whom he plays.
—Lark Edwards, a drunkard, boasted
in a barroom at Somerset, Ohio, that he
had murdered a man eigbtceu years be
fore. He described the exact spot where
he had buried the body. He was a noto
rious liar, and nobody believed bis story
but soon afterward human bones were un
earthed at the spot he had indicated. He
lias been arrested, and there is evidence
enough to probably convict him.
—The Washington national monument
will now grow gradually skyward, forsev-
eral years, until it attains the height oi
550 feet, an altitude greater than any pile
on earth. President Hayes was present
at the laying of the first stone of the new
course. The president, Col. Casey, and
others deposited coins marked witii name
and date under the stone. The dates of
some of them, said to have been shorten
ed to 8, 7 (for eighth month, seventh
day,) were somewhat suggestive.
—The bishop of Manchester ma recent
sermon referred to the Burials bill. He
said he did not believe that any church
ever perished or even came to any appre
ciable barm by making reasonable conces
sion in a spirit of tolerance and charity.
Never were a church’s days more surely
numbered if she was content to intrench
herself on rights and privileges which
were never generous and had now become
intolerable.
—An incident of the Tennessee Demo
cratic convention was the appearance on
the platform of Elias Polk, the colored
body servant of President Polk, who, by
unanimous consent of the convention, was
invited to address the body. He was es
corted to the stand by Gen. B. F. Cheat
ham and delivered a brief speech warmly
indorsing the debt paying platform adopt
ed by the convention, thus setting an ex
ample worthy the attention of those so-
called Democrats who bolted from the
convention because of the adoption of a
platform of honesty.
—Rev. Henry Ward Beecher some time
since received a letter from a young man.
who recommended himself very highly
as being honest, and closed with the re
quest, “Get me an easy situation that hon
esty may be rewarded.” To which Mr.
Beecher replied: “Don’t be an editor, if
you would be‘easy.’ Do not try the law.
Avoid school keeping. Keep out of the
pulpit. Let alone all ships, stores, shops
aud merchandise. Abhor politics. Keep
away from lawyers. Don’t practice med
icine. Be not a farmer nor a mechanic,
neither a soldier nor a sailor. Don’t study.
Don t think. Don’t work. None of them
are easy.. Oh, my honest friend, you are
in a very hard world ! I know of but one
‘easy’ place in it. That is the grave.”
—When the Prince of Wales came in
view, at the head of the brigade of Life
Guards, at the recent review before the
Queen iu Windsor park, wearing, for the
first time, its uniform, with helmet and
cuirass all complete, and bearing on his
breast the full blue ribbon of the Garter,
such a joyous shout of welcome arose as
could not have 'been beard from other
throats than those of Britishers. The
Queen’s eye brightened exceedingly at
this display of enthusiasm, in which she
herself seemed to join, and she left the
ground with a beaming look of satisfaction.
The poor little handful of men, as com
pared in numbers with the countless hordes
which nowadays constitute the armies of
foreign potentates, who paraded before the
Queen of England, beneath the showery
skies at Windsor, seemed somehow to in
spire as much confidence in the spectator
as though they had numbered as many
thousand as they did hundreds, so martial
and determined were they in aspect, so
well disciplined, and so sturdy aud solid
in their capability of resistance.
—In a notice of “Around the world
with Gen. Grant,” the Quarterly Jletiew
says: “One would have expected that he
would quietly accept the social rank vol
untarily conceded to him in the countries
which be visited. But with or without
his sanction it was given out on his arrival
in England that wherever he went he
must take precedence next to royalty, and
on one occasion the claim was enforced
in a manner that led to a good deal of in
vidious comment. A dinner was made
for him, to meet the Prince of Wales, by
Mr. Pierrepont, the United States Minister.
Two ambassadors were among the com
pany, and just before dinner was announ
ced Mr. Pierrepont made it his personal
request to both that they would yield pre
cedence to the general. The reply,
which might have been anticipated, was
that they would readily surrender a mere
personal privilege, but that they repre
sented respectively an emperor and a na
tion. At the same time they added that
if General Grant thought proper to take
the pas of them they should remain quies
cent, He did take the pas, provoking no
further protest or complaint than was im
plied in the consolatory comment, Heureu-
semerit il n’t/a qu un seul animal de cette,
esptce.” *
—Mr. Spurgeon was invited to attend
the session of Wesleyan conference In
London a few days ago, aud on appearing
received a hearty welcome. Me said that
if any denominations had a grip of truth
he believed they were the WeMeyans and
the Baptists. He belonged to the “know-
nothings,” for he was determined to know
nothing among men save Jesus, and Him
crucified. Their business was to believe
the word of God and to preach it. He
was old-fashioned enough to believe not
only in the Bible, but in its verbal inspira
tion. He believed God had chosen the
' best words in which the Bible might he
written. But in these days there was
sure ground for some people, they allowed
one doctrine after another to slip away
from them.
Trade With China*.
The Celestial Empire has suddenly
turned over a new page in her history.
The State department in Washington has
been formally notified by the Chinese
minister to the United States, through
circular issued by the Tsung-li-Yamen to
ail the foreign representatives of the
“Central Flowery Kingdom,” that China
has revoked the ancient decree prohibit
ing its subjects from engaging in foreign
trade. In future, according to this circu
lar, Chinese merchants may trade with
foreigners at will.
This step abolishes all the old monopo
ly of the Hong merchants, under which
these licensed traders in the treaty ports
have monopolized the entire export trade
with foreign countries, and thrown it
open to free competition. It will also
place the Chinese carrying trade ulti
mately in the hands of Chinese vessels,
owned and navigated by the Chinese
themselves at an expense so small as to
place them bey owl competition by for
eign bottoms. The Herald, of Sunday,
says that within a few days the first
Chinese steamship, the Ho Chung, will
arrive in San Francisco, and will be the
precurser of a large Chinese merchant
fleet to every port where trade can be
opened.
Steamships arc now built more cheaply
in China than in any othercouutry. One
of the largest Clyde ship builders, accord
ing to English reports, has transferred all
his constructive machinery to China, and
by reason of the extreme cheapness of la
bor in that country, is able to build
steamships at a greatly diminished cost.
The Chinese themselves of late yea's,
have been able to build for their own gov
ernment some very efficient war steamers
-iron-clads—and to arm them effectively,
The Chinese mechanics only want
pattern. They can imitate almost any
thing. Given, then, cheap ships worked
by men at ruling rates of compensation in
China, and inimitable advantages in trans
portation are at once obtained, which it
will puzzle outside nations to combat,
This is a new development of the Chiuese
labor question, which American and Eng
lish politicians will be puzzled to meet.
Some consolatory assurance is afforded
by the admitted fact that the Chinese, as
yet, have little or no manufacturing ma
chinery. They have an illimitable supply
of cheap labor, but of that machinery
which multiplies the products of labor
hundred fold or more, they have none,
Hence clothing fabrics of all kinds are ex
ported from Europe and America to
China, and vanquish the products of the
Chinese hand-looms and spindles with
the greatest ease. But how long will
this be the case? As China has, in a few
years, risen from her clumsy junks to
fill her own waters with home-built steam
boats and steamships, so it is easy to pre
sage that she will soon build power looms
and spindles and mill machinery gen
erally, aud all western trade ideas and
improvements are destined to make
rapid advance in that country.
We are living in a wonderful age, in
which we are to see exemplified in an as
tonishing manner the results of that free
and rapid intercourse created by steam
and telegraph. We have reached that
prophetic period in which it is said “many
shall run to and fro and knowledge shall
increase.” All Eastern exclusiveness is
broken or breaking down, and with it
will go the trade superiorities based on
Eastern ignorance. With this will come
rapid but not sudden readaptation of
the whole world to the new and constant
ly improving conditions.
As a matter of sober and practical fact,
the attempt to relieve civilization from
the competition of cheap Eastern labor,
is about as hopeless as the attempt of
Sirs. Partington to repel the Atlantic
ocean with her broom. Chinese immi
gration itself is but one incidental devel
opment of the progress of knowledge;
and here, in this proclamation by China
of open trade/is another. What witchery
eight hundred million Asiatics turned
loose, is going to work with civil’zed
economics, it is impossible to conjecture;
but’ the fact that great changes arc
pending, is apparent and inevitable.
Hon. Samuel Hall for the Vacancy on
the Supreme Bench.
We hear the wish expressed by some of
our best citizens, that the governor would
appoint Col. Samuel Hall to the vacancy
in the Supreme Court, caused by the res
ignation of Chief Justice Hiram Warner.
Nothing could be more opportune or sat
isfactory to the people of Georgia. Colo
nel Hall has earned an enviable distinc
tion as a profound jurist, thoroughly
versed in common and constitutional law,
and few men possess, and have at their
tongues end, so vast and available
amount of legal knowledge as he.
As an advocate, he is calm, eloquent
and exhaustive. If called to preside as an
arbiter or umpire, no man could be more
acute and impartial, while the characterist
ic urbanity of Mr. Hall always bespeaks
the good will and respect of all who are
brought in contact with him. Thirty-
five years ago, when a student in the
University of Georgia, he was the best his
torian in the Institution, and was called
‘walking library.” The memory of
Mr. Hall is singularly retentive, and pre
cedents once established, and decisions
rendered, become graven upon his brain,
never to be forgotten. »
We believe if Governor Colquitt would
promote Judge Jackson to be chief jus
tice, vice Warner, resigned, and then ap
point Mr. Hall to fill the vacancy thus oc
casioned, it would give almost universal
satisfaction. It is needless to s%y that the
writer has not even seen Col. Hall, and
does not know whether he would so
much as accept of the appointment, if ten
dered. r
—The exodus from Germany this year
has been in excess of preceding ones.
From Bremen alone more than 14,000
Germans have already sailed, or more
than twice as many as left that port dur
ing the whole of last year. The number
emigrants who have left the country
for the United States is over 13,000 since
the first of January, or 101 percent, more
than during the corresponding period of
last year, and this is exclusive of those
who have sailed from Havre, Rotterdam,
verpool,'Glasgow and London.

it will beshoit, and we shall try to keep
our temper, however abusive they may be,
Alter the election they will be able to
take a more reasonable and tolerant view
of matters. They will be in better
temper, and, we hope, will come back
from their escapade resolved hereafter to
let the majority rule. There is nothing
like that practical wisdom won by expe
rience, and when they see the votes
counted, they will see how little regard
the fair and equitable people of Georgia
have for the strategies of the two-thirds
rale.
A Little too Fast
“The persistent clamor of a factious ma
jority for the elevation of one man,” is the
way our esteemed contemporary, the Sa
vannah Recorder, puts it, when speaking
of the action of the 220 delegates of the
convention.who gave the Colquitt banner
to the breeze. How a clear and pro
nounced majority of nearly two-thirds
can be termed a faction, or “fact ious,” we
cannot conjecture. No, good brother, the
“boot is on the other leg,” and you have
“put the cart before the horse.” It is the
minority that was factious, or rather was
composed of four factions who kept apart
to the last, and would never have fused
but for the common hatred they cherished
for our patriotic and excellent governor.
And even the united squads made but.
meager minority, some of whom have al
ready seen the error of their way and re
fuse to aid in tearing down the proud
temple of the Democracy.
EDITORIAL GLIMPSES.
As the first fruits of the disorganizing ef
forts of the Norwood party, and before
Uie chief could reach his home, the work
ingmen get up a strike and endeavor to
retard the prosperity of the city. It is
true they form but a small minority of the
workingmen of Savannah, but if a minori
ty of a conventiou can dictate who shall
run for governor, surely such a respecta
ble minority of carpenters and bricklay
ers have a right to dictate to the working
men what employers ought to pay them
One is just as reasonable as the other.
This is what some of the level-headed
business men of Macon saw, aud hence
their dispatch to Judge Lyon. They knew
that business relations and commercial in
terests must suffer, and this is only the be
ginning of the harvest of evil that is to be
garnered by the revolutionary action of
the minority. We clip the following from
the Savannah Hews:
During the morning some of the strik
ers paraded in the southern portion, of
the city with a fife and drum, but no
other demonstration was made. At
present it is not possible to ascertain the
extent of the strike, but, from all we can
learn, it appears to be principally confined
to the colored bricklayers aud carpenters.
Several white mechanics whom we have
talked to on the subject, state they have
no Qoncern in the matter, although they
bad heard such a course was determined
upon on Saturday.
The carpenters are at present getting
from SI 50 to SI 75 per day, aud brick
layers $2, and the increase wanted is
from 50 cents to SI per day. These are
the figures for the ordinary hands, the
more skilled laborer receiving a slight
advance.
We understand that no serious incon
venience has been occasioned, as addi-
: onal hands have been procured where
it was very necessary. Some develop
ments in regard to the movement may
come to light to-day.
The many friends of non. Newtcn
Hudson, Schley county, will be glad to
learn of his complete restoration to health.
From a gentleman just from Senator Hud
son’s home, we gather thi3 intelligence.
We rejoice with him in this happy turn of
affairs of life, and hope he may live long
to serve his country and bless the world
with the purity of his life.
At the late session of the State agri
cultural society, held at Hartwell, Bain-
bridge was selected as the point to hold
the fall session of the society. This is a
wise selection, and we hope the up
countiy farmers will go down in large
numbers. They will find some of the
best farming lands in the State, and un
der the most intelligent cultivation. Col.
Magill can show them some red hills as
high and as fertile as can be found any
where in middle Georgia. Besides all
this Bainbridge is one of the prettiest
little cities in the State, and the people as
horpitable as anywhere in the world.
The Athens Banner throws to the
breeze the names of Norwood and Speer.
This is as it should be, if you take an In

mire the candor aud honesty, of tho edi
tors of the Banner, and would commend
their course to other Norwood papers.
They have no claim on the Democracy.
“He is no statesman.” This phrase, so
common iu Republican newspapers
month ago, has now become obsolete. It
is rarely ever seen. Hancock’s letter con
fronts these wiseacres, and proves both his
ability and statesmanship.
Judge Black writes from abroad
that “Mr. Bradlaugli has great intellectual

An Interestine Foreign Letter upon
Immigration to Georgia.
The following letter to our commissioner
of immigration should be read by every
one who wishes to develop the unbroken
forests and mineral resources of Georgia:
Hon. Francis Fontaine, CO East Tenth
street, New York—Deab Sib: At
the request of.Mr. Wm. F. Herring, who
has read me his letter of this date, ad
dressed to you, I add a few words, to say
that I will gladly serve in the manner in
dicated in his letter. Send me the pam
phlet mentioned. I will translate it into
German and have it printed and distrib
uted; and if I can make myself useful in
any other way to the “Empire State of the
South,” i shaft be very glad to do so.
I quite agree with Mr. Herring in re
gard to the immigration problem. Its im
mense importance for the Southern States
cannot be estimated too high; and it is a
matter of astonishment to me how it can
have been neglected and disregarded so
long. Fifteen to twenty years hence,
when the population of the United States
increased to say 60,000,000 of
people, apparently all in possession
some means.
Tho translation of the pamphlet in oth
er languages, therefore, would become ab
solutely necessary, as these people speak
a language of their own.
Furthermore, but a very sma.l per
centage of emigrants start from their
homes without knowing beforehand where
they intend to go; those who intend to go
West can buy their tickets here to their
place of destination. The.Nortli German
Lloyd is closely allied with the Erie rail
road, and sends all emigrants to the West
by that route.
I had a conversation this morning with
the managing director of the North Ger
man Lloyd, who said it would be well for
you to see Messrs. Oelidcs & Co., their New
York agents, in regard to selling these
combination tickets to the South. Before
doing this you would have to communi
cate with Mr. Wadley, of the Central
railroad of Geoigia, in regard to forward
ing emigrants by his steamship line to Sa
vannah at a low rate. The agents of the
Lloyd^vould then report your proposi
tions back to headquarters here for ap
proval, and if a satisfactory through rate
has been fixed, one important initiatory
step would have been made.
You cannot rely on the small percen
tage which leaves here without being
“ticketed and checked through.” You
would have but a poor chance, and iu all
probability only the residue of the emi
gration material to select from. You
must try to “start even” with the Wes
tern States, and in order to -*lo this, care
ful preparations, much work, and some
means are absolutely necessary.
I send you by this mail four emigra
tion pamphlets, issued by other States.
All Western States are constantly making
active propaganda and devote much labor
and money to this object. I will gladly
give you further information, and aid you
to the best of my ability.
Very respectfully yours,
C. F. WILJIOK8.
Remarks.—Mr. Fontaine, who was
elected commissioner of immigration by
the last legislature, at a nominal salary,
equal in reality to no salary at all, has
been indefatigable in his efforts to arouse
public opinion in behalf of several feasible
plans by which the hardy Scotch, Ger
man and Swiss emigrants may be induced
to come South after landing in New
York.
In furtherance of this object, at much
pains and expense, he has prepared ‘an
admirable pamphlet showing the resources
of the State of Georgia, and the great
adaptation of her soil, climate and produc
tions, to the wants of the emigrant seek
ing a home in this favored hemisphere,
A notice of this book has already appeared
in these columns. We are pleased to
learn that Mr. Fontaine’s book and prop
ositions also were warmly endorsed by
the late convention of the State agricul
tural society, which met at Hartwell
That intelligent body passed resolutions
inviting immigration and calling upon the
legislature to make a suitable appropria
tion for its promotion.
Single-handed, our commissioner can
do little more than get the facts before
the people. Tie needs active co-operation
and substantial assistance. Hitherto the
brunt of the expeuse has fallen upon him
alone. This is wrong, and unbecoming
the authorities of a great State. Planters
and householders also could give practi
cal aid to the movement by ordering labor
ers aud house servauts, through Mr. Fon
taine, who is prepared to supply those of
the best description at short notice. Ere
long it is hoped that through arrange
ments by steam and rail will be ef
fected between German and English'
ports and the cities of the South, at low
rates of passage for emigrants, the lack of
which is now the principal barrier in the
path of success. Geoigia has a very deep
interest in this movement.
has
inhabitants,, then the consequences
will show themselves, and then the over
whelming majority in the West will make
itself felt to the detriment of the South
ern States. Mr. Herring’s liberal offer is
indeed very acceptable, but it is entirely
inadeqnate for the great purpose to be at
tained. It requires a great deal of work,
aud a certain expense of money, to start
an activa immigration scheme with any
chance of success, and I hope the legisla
ture and the people of Georgia will en
dorse aqd furtlier energetically a mat
ter of such vital Importance to them
selves.

much as possible by the German govern

Bar Association.
Saratoga, August IS.—The Ameri
can Bar Association met shortly after haif-
iast ten o’clock and was 'called to order
>y Luke B. Poland, chairman of the exec
utive committee. President Benjamin
Bristow was introduced and read his an
nual report, which dealt chiefly with the
changes made in statutory laws by the
several States, and by Congress during
the past year. Among other new legal
enactments he referred to the attack made
by the laws upon the railroadsin Geoigia,
where a commission has been appointed
to fix railroad rates; and to the law" in the
same State for the appointment of tempo
rary judges, with the consent of litigating
parties. He expressed the hope that out
of the various laws proposed in Congress
some equitable bankrupt law might be
evolved, to which the audience responded
with applause.
He referred also to the law enacted by
South Carolina removing liens on real es-
state after twenty years from last pay
ment; to the appointment by the State of
Geoigia of emigrant commissioners for
the encouragement of immigra’ion, and
to the stringent usury law recently passed
by Geoigia. Only twelve States and ter
ritories, he said, have no laws against
usury. He spoke of the recently enacted
law of Louisiana requiring every person
in business or professional life, "with the
exception of those engaged in agriculture
and a few others, to pay a special license
fee; and referred to the laws forbidding
the intermarriage of blacks and whites,
which have been passed in South Caro
lina and other* States. The law hereto
fore passed to thesame effect in Virginia,
has, he said, been declared constitutional
by the United States Courts.
On motion of Carlton Hunt, of Lou

tendered the president for his address. A
large number of new members were elect

thirty-one States and territories. After

River Pirates.
St. Louis, August 18.—The Post-Dis-
patch has a private dispatch from Ash-
port, a small town on tho lower Missis
sippi, near the point where the steamer
Vleksbmg recently sank, that a party of
river pirates were discovered last night by
the crew of a wrecking steamer, who
were at work on the Vicksburg, carrying
off a skiff load of the caigo of the sunken
steamer. Tho crews of tire wrecking
boat fired on the thieves, and one of them,
who is supposed to have been wounded,
fell overboard and was drowned. A
alchman, of either the wrecking boat or
tho Vicksburg, was found to have been in
collusion with the pirates, and wa3 taken
before a justice of the peace and held In
81,000 bond.
Later.—A band of masked men ap-.
peared and rescued tho watchman, cap
tured tho wrecking boat, placed Mr, Be
dard, who was in cba'ge of the wrecking
party, under guard on the boat, and took
the rest of the crew to the shore where
they were placed under guard. Great ex
citement existed among the friends of the
thieves, a crowd of whom had come in irom
the country, and dire vengeance was threat
ened against the wrecking crew. The
sheriff of the county hid arrrved, and it
was Loped quiet would soon be restored.
—PresidentMayes is quoted as saying
to a newspaper correspondent at Pittsburg
Pa., last Friday: “I do not intend to say
a word about politics or engage in the

what Garfield will carry Ohio. 'When my
term of office closes I propose to go to my
home in Ohio and settle down quietly.

Forster, chief secretary for Ireland, that
thousand marines would bo quartered in

rumors that the government expected an
insurrection among the peasantiy. The
marines, in that case, will act as a sub
stitute for the preservation of law, and
save the government the huraihation of
appealing to Parliament for special pow
ers. There have, however, been no open
indications of any intended disturbances,
and to most people here the notion of a
rising seems highly absurd.
