chairman of the gubernatorial convention,
and a Colquitt delegate from the county

Walsh
“We come here to nominate odr

A man who will utter such sentiments
is unworthy the name of freeman, aDd
unfit to be the representative of a free
people; Such language was not calcula
ted to pour oil on the troubled waves,
Do you endorse the sentiment, gentle
men ? Let us hear from you,
Neither Mr. Walsh, nor any other man,
ever used language like this, or anything
tantamount to it, unless he were drunk or
mad. It is inconceivable where the Re
publican found it, or, having found it,
how he could have been misled into the
supposition that it was ever uttered by a
sane or sober man.
The Republican asks if we endorse this
language. No! nor anything like it in
character or spirit, on either side. We
have not the smallest sympathy with
whatever is intolerant, dictatorial, coer
cive, or bull-dozing. By whomsoever
displayed, such a temper is fatally at war
with a true Democratic spirit, as well as
with good manners. A man who sets up
to be a Democrat and yet is unreasonable,
unjust, overbearing, oppressive, abusive,
unwilling to submit to wholesome usages
and the will of the majority, has mistaken
his calling. He needs a new birth and
baptism. His lips may possibly pro
nounce the shibboleth, hut the spirit of
Democracy is not in him, and he should
join the ranks of those who want to gov
ern by the club, musket or Gatlin gun;
because morally and intellectually that is
his true position. It takes more than the
simple utterauces of a few dogmas to con
stitute a good Democrat. It takes a fair
mind—an honest and liberal purpose,
and the same reverence and respect for
others that it demands for itself.
Be it known to all, that we have n<
sympathy with any intolerance by any
body shown, which has led to this most
mortifying and disastrous schism in the
Democracy of Georgia, and that onr po
sition is taken for the sole reason that it
is the Highest point to Democratic har
mony- We see in any break that threatens
to divide a strong, intelligent party, into
warring factions, each bent on the des
truction of the other, the prospect of woes
unutterable to the great body of the people.
The first thing it does is to invite those
who canuot read or reason to come in as
arbiters of the triumph. This, at one fell

—Tiavel to Europe this summer shows
an excess of 4,000 first-class passengers
over that of 1870. The total number car
ried so far to Europe by the passenger
steamship lines alone, and not including
those who went by the minor freight
lines, lias been 19,COG. Thus, at least 20,-
000 persons have gbne to. Europe from
this country to spend the summer. If we
assume that the average expenditure of
those persons will be $700 per capita—a
low estimate—it will be seen that they

Alabama Cottox'Crop.—The Mont
gomery Advertiser says up to a few days
ago the cotton crop throughout this sec
tion of Alabama and Florida gave pros
pects of a larger yield than at atiy previ
ous time lor years. The recent continued
rains have been very disastrous, and now
the prospects are decidedly gloomy. In
many sections in this State and Florida
the worms have appeared, and *in -many
places less than one-third ofwbat was ex
pected will be the result. A large crop of
cotton has been anticipated, numbering
up to six million bales. Had there been
no disaster the crop planted might have
made the yield, hut it does not appear that
there is labor enough in the South to pick
so much. The crop estimates are perhaps
therefore much too high.
Prominent Republicans Declar
ing for Hancock.—A special, dispatch
to the World from North Carolina, says
several prominent North Carolina Repub
licans have announced themselves for
Hancock and English. Among others,
ex-Uuited States Senator John Pool, ex-
Supreme Court Judge William B. Rod-
man and Col. Darnel R. GoodloO. .These
are among the ablest Republicans in the
State. Colonel '-Goodloe was for many
years the editor of the National Republi
can, published at Washington, and is a
writer of no ordinary, ability. He was an
abolitionist before the war, though a na

question and deplored his cotrrse on that
subject, they always respected iiim as a

The Census.
A copy of the Boston Saturday Evening
Gazelle comes to us with the following
item marked:
The partial returns of the censns at the
South are just now interesting reading;
but many clear-headed men are not dis
appointed. now States that have had no
immigration for the last ten years, but, on
the contrary,a large exodus of colored peo
ple, can increase in population thirty or
more per cent., is answered by Judge
Toui jee when he says: “People that stuff
ballot-boxes, and use tissue votes and the
shot-gun, will not hesitate to enroll the
graveyard among their population.” The
duty of General Walker or Congress is
clear—a new enumeration must be ordered
where there is a reasonable suspicion of
fraud. The anxiety of the Southern
Democrats to have supervisors appointed
who. were friendly to-them awoke the
North to a realizing sense of what it
might expect the census would show,
j We have bnt to reply, as has oftpn been
done in the last few weeks, that the cen
sus of 1870 was taken by the Republicans
with the distinct understanding, and by
Instruction, to make the number of popu
lation In the South as small as possible,
to decrease our representation in Con
gress. There were glaring diserepencies
between the count of the Republican mar
shals, and that of the local authorities.
Complaints were made, hut were treated
with contempt by the authorities. The
count of 1880, under the direction of Gen
eral Walker, a Republican, has been an
honest one, so far as it was possible, and
our increased numbers are attributable
more to this fact than to increased immi
gration.
The only point where there is a reasona
ble suspicion of fraud is New England,
,which section has been greatly depleted in
population by the tide of emigration west
ward. .We have no objection to a new
enumeration there. Alas! how the worst
side of human nature presents Itself when
matters turn out adversely to our expecta
tions and our Interest. IIow ready to cry
fraud, and to find in vituperation an ex
cuse for our disappointment and wounded
pride.
State Executive! Committee.—
The State Democratic executive com
mittee which met in Atlan'-a on the 17th,

keeping aglow the fires of sectional hate.
Bnt the time has arrived when these sen
sational fabrications have lost their effect
through repeated and transparent ex
posures. The reign of the bloody sMrt is
practically over, as the following from the
Philadelphia Ledger, a leading Republi
can sheet, makes sufficiently evident:
It seems to be settled by the evidence
of South Carolina papers of both com
plexions that there is no bulldozing nor
suppression of Republican campaign meet
ings this year. These are held without
disturbance in.various parts of the State,
including one at the capital, although the
accounts vary as to the size and import
ance of these meetings of the freedinen.
The Sea Island Neics, Republican, printed
at Beaufort, describes, among several
others, a meeting at Blackville, in Barn
well county, as drawing over five thousand
persons Into that small town; and gather
ing around the speakers’ stand between
thrqe^.and four thousand persons. The
Crescent, another Beaufort paper, that
displays Hancock and English at the head
of its columns, confirihs this from the ac
count of one of the speakers present, anil
adds that this, as all the other country
meetings, favored the running of a Re
publican State ticket from governor down,
i This Democratic paper goes on to chal-
the account of the Charleston News and
Courier, which has also a report of the
same meeting in its correspondence de
scribing it as an exceedingly tame affair,
only about three hundred in attendance at
the stand, but which proceeds to make
his remarkable admission in regard to it:
‘The Democratic policy was to put up no
speakers, and they asked no lime and did
not attend.’.’ Taken altogether, these are
iretty significant admissions, both for the
iresent and the past. The ireedmen are
iiow let alone to hold what meetings suit
them, and they have large ones unmolest
ed; and the scandalous policy of former
campaigns, of sending Democratic speak
ers to Republicai meetings to “claim
;ime,” and break up these assemblies in a
row has been laid aside.
If anything more was needed to prove
that our colored friends at the South not
only enjoy the largest personal and po
litical liberty, but very often are useful
and valuable auxiliaries to the Democra
cy, sometimes even participating in
their deliberations, the following ad
dress of

Gentlemen: My feelings are very
much trammelled to-day by being called
to address this intelligent body of Demo

deep anxiety the proceedings of the Con
vention, and I have been saddened to see
Tennessee in such a financial and political
condition. I am a life-long Democrat of
the school of Jackson and Polk and Jqfler-
son. I see few old men of the better days
now around me. We are*now on the eve

credit, and, believing in that, I appeal to
you to pay Mrs. Polk her bonds.
Who could have made a better speech ?
But Northern Radicals cannot conjecture
how a sensible Southern colored man can
vote the Democratic ticket. If some of
them would visit a Georgia election they
-would sec thousands of the most intelligent
the nations former wards do that very
thing “without let or hindrance."

How to Conserve- the Democratic
Partv.
There is ode method which, if honestly
and faithfully pursued during the present"
canvass, will go very far towards preseiv-
ing the integrity of that grand political or
ganization which redeemed the State from
Radical thraldom; We mean a resort, In
every instance, to primary elections in the
selection of candidates for legislative and
municipal honors and county officers.
Let the voice of the Democracy be heard
at the ballot-box in every precinct of the
county, and the votes be counted with all
the formality and precision of an election
•conducted by tho sworn officials of the
law. Then there will ho no excuse for
bolting, and the party can be kept together.
Otherwise, the country will be inundated
with independent candidates, and there
.will bo no.eud to the mischief and confu
sion that must ensue.
It is not too much to assert that unden
such a state of affairs, all the offices of
Bibb county may be filled by Radicals.
We trust, therefore, that the rumor is true
that our county Democratic execu
tive committeo will shortly appoint the
day for holding a primary election, to
determine who shall be tho candidates for

Campaign Slanders.—The heaviest
reprobations of Garfield are copied from
tho newspapers now engaged in advocat
ing his election, only that these papers
bear date contemporaneous with his of
fences. Many, of these censures ard re
produced- The Sun presents the folibw-
dng:
Speaking of James A. Garfield a3d

Commercial, on March L1S73, used lan-,

’“When,” said-the Commercial, respect-
ing Gen, GarfielJ-and his • associates iu

confidence reposed in them come*up
tor trial—if they evertlare- to do it—tlidy

ble public servants.” . ,
Indianopolis: All tho world knows, for
there is not an intelligent man in the
United States of any party who does not
know that the Tilden electors in Louisi
ana -received of the votes cast from 0,000
to 9,000 majority. Mr. Garfield, who was
one of those^wlic^went to New Orleans in
November, 1870, knew this to be a fact.
I quote what Senator Trumbull said up
on tliis point as to facts stated upon his
personal knowledge:
“I was present when tho returns from
every parish in that State were brought
to New Orleans, and according to those
returns, before they were doctored and al
tered, made by the instruments of tlie Re
publican party themselves, the Tilden elec
tors had a majority ranging from 0,000 to
9,000 votes.
Gen. Garfield.was at New Orleans. He
knew these returns fairly elected Mr. Til
den President. He stood by when that
infamous returning board, without law
and by fraud, rejected the votes of the
people. He went to Washington and sat
upon the commission of fifteen. After
these returns had been fraudently made,
and when the question came up before
the commission whether the returns being
fraudulent they could go behind them, 1
appeared before that commission. We
were required to state in writing the rea
sons why the vote of Louisiana should not
be given to Mr. Hayes, and we put it
down in writing that v.e were prepared to
prove that a majority of the free votes of
Louisiaua were given, for the Tilden
electors. ,
We offered to prove that by a conspira
cy entered into between the governor of
that Stale, William Pitt Kellogg, who ap
pointed every officer that controlled the
elections in the State, that by a conspira
cy entered into by him and the returning
board, it was agreed that whatever the
vote might be, they would give the certifi
cate of election to the Hayes electors.
Garfield sat on that commission. He
said: “We won’t let you prove it. You
are precluded by tho returns.” As a
member of the electoral commission,
sworn to try judicially and determine the
right of the case, whether Tilden and
Hendricks, or Hayes and Wheeler, had
the rightful majority, he'refused to exam
ine and try the very question, and the on
ly question they were appointed by law
to try and determine, viz.: Whether a
majority of the votes of Louisiaua were
cast for the Tilden electors, or for the
Hayes electors.
Certainly there was not so big^p fool
in either house of Congress, as not to
know that Well’s returning board certifi
cate had been given to the Hayes elec
tors. The only question the commission
was to try was whether that certificate
was true or false. Garfield knew it was
false, and because li». knew it was false,
refused to try flip question. If he believed
it was true, he would have heard the evi
dence to prove it true. For in his speech
in the bouse upon the electoral commis
sion bill, he asserted again aud again
that if the bill passed, the commission J
would go behind the returns to try the
question of fact upon the merits. Gar
field, knowing the returns were false, in
violation of his public speech, before the
bill.passed, v.oted to sustain these false
and" fraudulent returns.”
1 To further show Garfield’s guilty
knowledge, and his moral weakness to re
sist the behests of Lis party, I state an
other fact upon the authority of the Hon.
Carter H. Harrison, then a member of
Congress, and now mayor of the city ot
Chicago. After the decision, Harrison
asked Garfield how it was possible for
him, after his speech in the House, to re-
fuse to go behind the returns, and to de
cide the question of fact upon merits.
Garfield replied: “Carter, if you had the
cards, wouldn’t you play them?” He
know the certificate of the i eturning board
was false. He knew Tilden was elected
aud Hayes was defeated. . 9
He knew that if the Democratic party
would agree upon the electoral commis
sion for the sake of peace, the merits of
the case should be tried. Yet because,
including the judges, there was a majority
of one Republican upon the commission,
in violation of truth, justice, fair dealing,
and pligbted faith by a partisan majority,
Garfield refused to try the only question
they were authorized to try, and which he
at least was to try. For tie part he took in
this outrageous and damaging fraud, if
for no other reason, Garfield is unworthy
of the high office of President.
The Kniehts at Chicago.
As the column moved south on Wabash
avenue, says a correspondence of the
Eultimore Sun, the sight was a grand and
imposing one. Marching at a steady
pace of about two miles an hour, the sol-
dier-like bearing and the beautiful and
starred uniforms of the different comman-
deries elicited cheer upon cheer from the
living walls between which they passed,
and the sight which greeted the Knights
themselves was a fraternal acknowledge
ment of the esteem in which they were
held* The city of CMcago paused from
work while her streets were crowded with
visitors from all sections of the Union to
do them honor. Nearly every house they
passed was gaily decorated in honor of
their presence. Every possible place that
afforded a view of the march was occu
pied. Eaves of houses, window sills and
cross arms of telegraph poles were all
forced into sendee if from them the
Knightly spectacle could- be seen. The
miles of temporary seats along the routei
at 50 cents “a seat,” were filled. As the
column passed under the funeral arch at
Adams street the martial musie was
changed to a dirge,and the commamleries
reversed swords. The Graud Comrilan-
deries’ review arch at Wabash avenue
and twelfth streets was saluted by draw
ing swords and a salute -bv officers and
standards. The column, after moving
through the principal streets, marched
down Clark street to the Graud Pacific,
where it was dismissed.
SPECIAL FEATURES.
New York State made a brilliant dis
play and marched with a soldierly tread.
The Knights of Washington City and Vir
ginia were much admired, the costume of
the latter being elaborately trimmed with
silver fringe about their aprons and sil
ver embroidery upon black instead of
white cross belts. * The Baltimore Cora-
xnanderies were loudly cheered and went
through the evolutions with much pre
cisions. Maryland Commandery, No. 1,'
came first, moving like a solid wall, and
was followed by Baltimore, No. 2. Beau-
sant, No. 8, and commandcries from West

The Maine State Election.
The State election in Maine takes place
on the Cth day of next September, say
•fifteen days from date, and, as the first of
the fall series, ii regarded with special in
terest. According to the Herald cf
Thursday, things are touch mixed in
Maine. There is not only a full coalition
of the Democrats and Greeubackers, but
the Republicans will be embarrassed by a
separate Prohibition ticket, nominated
with feli intent against Davis, the regular
Republican nominee.
The Prohibitionists charge that although
the Republicans stand ready to give any
kind of temperance legislation they ask,
yet it is with a distinct purpose not to en
force it. They charge that w’ith stringent,
laws against the sale of liquor, it is openly
sold, in every toWn in the State. That
tlieir most prominent Republican allies go
Lot from the grog shops and drinking as
semblies in their o,wn rooms, and pass the
most stringent prohibitory laws merely to
delude the teetotalers with a statute of
promise, which they afterwards wholly
defeat in the execution. J The'Prohibition
ists have started a newspaper which they
call The True Republican, and which
treads on Republican toc3 all round the
circle, after this and many other remorse
less fashions:
A prominent member of tlie last legis
lature kept open bar in his hotel room, as
was the custom in Augusta forty
years ago. Liquors were openly
and freely given to all- comers
and pressed upon the reluctant ones!
Intoxication and disorders were the resdlt

Senator, and dragged him out of bed and

did not consider them any bar>to the real
ization of his aspirations for a high of

EuMio Schools of Americas-
-A pamphlet-report of the board of pub
lic education of the city of Americas,
shows that the number of pupils enrolled
in that city is 682, and the average daily
’attendance ha3 been 500. ■ There aie’six'
white and six colored schools, with one
tpaclier to each, and these schools have
been carried on for six months at a cost of
$4,4S3.S6, or affaverage cost per pupil-of
,$0.57. The board complains ot the want
of properly arranged school buildings,
.which isadiecessity,time aud money are

from Kentucky and Iowa were loudly
cheered. They towered high above all
others, “bearded like the pard,” and
marched like battie-scaried veterans.
Tehnessee and Louisiana both sent picked
men, and there was a perfect sea of wav
ing handerchiefs and shouts from 10,000
throats as they swept past erect and solid.
Philadelphia commauderies bore banners
that were- really works of art, with
Knights on-horseback, embroidered by
hand in colored satins.
The Grand Master rode in a carriage
drawn by thirteen horses, seven white and
six black, the odd white one in front.
Mounted knights, iliree hundred in num
ber, each with a iance, from which floated
a beauseant, rode like centaurs, and ended
a display which "those who saw it will long
remember. Next to the knights the gay
uniforms of the bauds were noticeable.
Huge drum-majors, as tall as Gog or Ma
gog, and as radiant as butterflies, marched
in front, the musicians following, having
pearly new costumes and being really
soldierly-looking men.
Several knights were overcome by heat
and had to leave the ranks, but no case is
serious. From first to last there has not
been the slightestdisorder, and there could
not have been more mirth or heartfelt
pleasure enjoyed at the most brilliant fete
in Paris, though it must be admitted that
there were many disappointed people, who
failed to see the procession in all its glory.
Being at the wrong end ot the route, they
did not get their money’s worth.
A DISAPPOINTING FINALE.
There are now about 100,000 persons
in Chicago denouncing the Knights Tem
plar parade as a sham aud an outrage.
There are citizens aud visitors who se
cured seats along the latter pait of the
line of march, and who, after sitting. pa
tiently from 8:30 a. m. to 1 p. in., were re
warded by seeing the three local and two
smail commamleries file past. For a mil
itary body tbe procession dwindled away
with.strange unanimity. The Templars
accounted for their failure to carry out
the programme by saying that many of
the commanderies went into line’this
morning without a mouthful of breakfast,
aud between waiting and marching they
.were overcome by faintness aud fatigue,
and so began deserting ail along the line
at sight of a restaurant or lunch counter.
This caused such a serious defection from
the ranks that some commanderies had
hardly enough Knights left to cany their
standards, and determined to abandon all
appearances or maintaining a position m
the column. In the matter of providing
food and.lodging for a multitude Chicago
acknowledges that this time she has taken
more than she can accommodate.
The Grand Encampment of the United
States met in conclave during the after
noon, but transacted no business beyond
listening to formal reports. Officers "will
be elected to-morrow.
A MONSTROUS FAILURE.
The grand ball at the exposition, build
ing tc-night is a monster affair, but owing
to tbe management that kept the com-
manderies standing, broiling in the sun,
without their breakfasts this morning, it
is not the complete success which the
elaborate.-and maguificent preparations
and decorations of the building promised.
Invitations were issued for over one hun
dred thousand people, and the building is
not capable of holding over twenty-five
thousand. Scenes resembling those of an
infuriated mob were enacted at the single
entrance to the exposition'building where
ticket holders sought admittance to an
overcrowded building, where the only
,exit was into a lumber yard and over a
picket fence. Several women fainted.
At S:30 it was impossible io get within
three squares of the building, and still tho
people and carriages kept coming until
soon both were mixed up in inextricable
confusion. .The programme consisted of
addresses by prominent Templars, music
by an orchestra of 150 pieces,- and (lanc
ing by four thousand couples on the floor.
'The heat was intense, and many were
compelled to leave who had succeeded in
squeezing in.

Old John, Tanner’s Agent, Tickles a
Woman into Eternity.
Old Jolm Morris, tbe obi colored tnan
who used to bring shuck collars and twist
tobacco to the city, has been arrested on
a very serious charge. From the first he
took a deep iuterest in Dr. Tanner’s chil
dren of Israel experiment, and on one oc
casion was heard to remark that Dr. Tan
ner would be the best advertised man in
America, and that any medicine made by
him would have a ready sale. Yesterday
he came to the city and exhibited a paper
showing that he was the so\e agent for the
Tanner anti-bilious cordial. He went
around to a colored tenement house
and read his certificate and
produced his medicine. The col
ored people can fight against mala
rial influences with much more success
than a white man can ever hope to at
tain—yet they arc always ready to take
anti- billious medicines, some think, be
cause it places them more nearly upon an
equality with white people. With a
slight digression, it can be proved that
this theoiy has more than a shadow
6f foundation, for once when there was a
union ball' given-in the sixth ward,
the colored man who could produce a
certificate that he had been bilious, no
matter how remotely, was entitled to a
seat among the white people, while the
sable gentleman who had no such testi
monial was compelled to sit among the
“niggers,” and eat at the second table.
Well, old John, exhibited his anti-bil
ious cordial, and as an inducement to
colored purchasers, he proposed to give
a certificate of biliousness.
“Leuimy see yer.tongue,” said the Tan
ner agent to a woman. “Bilious ’fore do
Lord. Heah,” and he poured out a
spoonful of his cordial". The woman
swallowed it, but by the time old John .
made out the certificate of biliousness he
found that the woman was dead. The
woman’s husband called in a policeman
and had John arrested* He was taken be
fore a magistrate for examination.
“Did you egpr study medicine ?” asked
the justice.
“Yes, sah.”
“What books have you read ?”
“I’so studied do signs of de moon
mos’iy. I’se read books, too, hut 1 fotget
dar names. Some folks forget do contents
ob a book an’ recollects de name. I
forgets de name but recollects de insides.”
“Where did you get the medicine you
gave the woman?”
“I made hit frurn d’rections sent ter mo
by Dr. Tanner.”
“What are its component parts ?”
‘•Hits made outeu roots frurn de groun’
and leaves frum de trees. Does yer
wanter a bottle, jedge ?”
"‘No sir; I don’t. The charge against
you is a serious one. What made your
medicine kill the woman ?”
“Why, jedge, de medicine didn’t kill do
’oman.”
“What killed her?”
“Why, jedge, de’oman died ob de sur
prise. Yer see she had been takin’ ebery-
thing in de medical market, an’ hit didn’
do her no good. She didn’ Lab much
confidence in my medicine, and when she
tuk,bit an’ foun’ dat hit went right ter
wurk tearin’ at de corners ob de bilious
ness, hit snipriseq de ’oman ter death.
Yer can’t hole a man lur surprisin’ any
body ter death. Ef I coine3 an’ tells you
a good piece ob news, an’ you falb dead,
de law can’t hole me sponsible.
An’ ’cordin’ to tlie same ’stron-
omy, ef I gins a ’omon a dose
ob medicine and hit surprises her ter
death, de law can’t put de clamps on me.
Why, dat ’oman was so ’stonished and

TERRIBLE TORNADO.
Great Destruction of Property.
New Orleans, August 21.—A special
to the Times from Corpus Chiisti gives an
account of the storm on the lower Texas
coast and in Mexico. Matamoras looks
as if it had been bombarded, brick
buildiugs being torn out of long blocks.
It is estimated that three huudred houses
were wrecked, demolished or unroofed and
whole stocks of goods were destroyed.
The loss is estimated at S500.000.
Brownsville is iu but little better con
dition. At Point Isabcll and Brazos the
storm was most disastrous. In Browns
ville, Latimer’s machine shop and adjoin
ing building are in ruins. Our streets are
full of debris. Houses are wrecked, trees
aud fences blown down, infantry bar
racks badly shattered, and considerable
damage was done to.the officers’ quarters.
Twenty-eight horses and seven mules, be
longing to the government, were killed.
The artillery barracks were unroofed and
the cavalry stables blown flat. The con
vent was unroofed and the fence blown
down. The tug Ethel ami the steamboats
John Scott and George Brown were sunk
at Point Isabell. The Pctate was wreck
ed and tlie schooner Julia Willitt
blown ashore. Tlie Brava went
to pieces, and the pilot boat Ada is miss
ing. The quarantincstation, and. the old
light house at Brazos, are gone. The
French bark Maria Theresa, went to pie
ces, and the schooner Laura Lewis was
beached.. The steamer 1 ' Sellers was sunk
at her wharf, and three of her crew re
ported lost. A number of small boats
were sunk. It is reported that several
Mexicans were drowned. The wharf at
Brazos was demolished, and the railroad
badly damaged. The total damage by
the storm in this section is estimated at
more than a million dollars. "Many fam
ilies lost everything, and a subscription
for their relief has been started.
Later dispatches to the Galveston News
estimate the damage by' tbe recent storm,
as follows: At Matamoras, $50,000; at
Brownsville, $250,000; at the garrison c
$50,000; at Point Isabel and to shipping,
S200.000.
An Eye-Opener.
The Philadelphia Times says: The
most startling and impressive iesson of
the census is given in the marvelous
growth of the South, and it will do more
to pacificate the sectional strife of the
country tl an all the eloquence or patriot
ism of statesmanship. It will open the
eyes Of the North to the fact that, while
demagogues and partisan organs have
been persistently misrcpi'esenting tlie
South as utterly idle and lawless, the peo
ple of the South have been quietly attend
ing to tlieir own affairs, struggling against
the terrible desolation of war, fostering
capital and emigration as best they could,
regardless of disturbers at home and
abroad. It awakens .Pennsylvania and
New York and Massachusetts and Mary
land to the fact that Southern industry,
commerce and political power are not the.
[ myths that partisan disclaimers have stu
diously represented them to he; and
tbe commercial, industrial aud financial
interests of Philadelphia, New York, Bal
timore and Boston will discard the sense
less falsifiers who make politics a trade,
and view sectional issues from the propel
standpoint of general tranquility and
prosperity. ■
Desperate Cases.
Many of the cases which come to us
for treatment by Compound Oxygen are
of a class which no phvsician of any
school would undertake to cure. They
are, in fact, such as have run the gauntlet
of experiment witli the regular schools of
medicine, and of quackery without, until
between disease and drugs the patient is
reduced to the saddest and most deplora
ble condition, and one for which relief
seems impossible. No curative treat
ment can be subjected to a severer test
thau is off--red by these cases. Aud yet,
many of these the most brilliant re
