Newspaper Page TextNashville Notes. The Widow cf Ex-President Polk. The writer, a few'days since, while vis iting the beautiful capitahof Tennessee, paid his respects to'Mrs. James K. Polk, the honored relict of one of the most abl<\ and meritorious chief-magistrates that over presided over the American republic. The distinguished lady occupies the noble abode of her late husband, situated in a retired court in the very centre of the city. Itls a spacious mansion of brick, severely plain in its architecture,- but withal gracefaily proportioned and mass ively constructed. Here, beneath the shade of umbrageous trees, and surround ed by grassy parterres, interspersed with blushing flowers, the modest tomb of the illustrious deceased forming the central figure of the scene, Mrs. Polk is spend ing, in calm tranquillity, the evening of her existence. The charm of that mausoleum is its re publican, unpretentious simplicity. A plain, open structure, supported by four unadorned pillars of marble, shelters the modest cenotaph beneath, on one side of which is iuscribed the following legend: “THE jfftRTAL REMAINS Of JAMES K. POLK Are resting in the vault beneath, lie was bom in Mecklenberg county, NORTH CAROLINA, And emigrated with his father, Samuel Polk, to Tennessee in 1800. The beauty of virtue Was illustrated in his life: The excellence of Christianity Was exemplified in his death.” Displayed in capitals above, are the words “James K. Polk, 10th President of the United States. Bom November 2d, 1795. Died June 15tb, 1849.” Unlike most persons, Mrs. Polk delights to converse upon the career and all the salient events in the life of her departed husband. “Why should I not,” she naively remarked, “ love to dwell upon he memory of the being with whom my days were spent in such supreme happi ness? My life has been singularly free from sorrow and disappointment. The administration of my husband was a suc cess, and he retired from office enjoying the respect and confidence of his country men. It is natural, therefore, for me to dwell with fondness upon every incident and circumstance that recalls the happy past.” Speaking of the ex-President’s visit to Georgia and his reception at Macon, she paid » handsome compliment to the hos pitality and kindness of the ladies and gentlemen of our city, mentioning sev eral of them by name. Of Col. A. H. Chappell’s address of welcome she still retained a vivid remembrance. This noble lady is deservedly regarded as the peer of any mistress of the “White House” who ever did its honors. And even now, though the snows of seventy- seven winters rest upon her head, every sense remains unimpaired, and there is a calm dignity aud unspeakable sweetness about her bearing and appearance which cannot fail to challenge the respect and veneration of the visitor. To all this must be superadded, also, a most won derful vivacity for one of her years. Mrs. Polk was richly but simply attired in the fashions of the day, and she still entertains her numerous guests with the greatest suavity and ease. Every yeartbe Legislature of Tennessee pay their re spects to her in a body, and the State re mits all taxes upon her property. No distinguished - visitor of Nashville, also, ever fails to honor vritb a call this estima ble woman, who is the true type of the real' lady in the palmiest days of the republic. • .Long may she -continue to adorn and illustrate the home of her youth, and bless by precept and example her admir ing countrymen. Sound Advice.—Col. Herbert Field er, the chairman of the Democratic Exe cutive Committee of Randolph county, in an excellent printed address to the peo ple, says of the wrangle over members for the Legislature: “There is.no rational ground for strife among us.'* We differ about candidates for Governor, but we all can vote for whom wc choose; and if we do so with the respect due from and to each other, that matter will soon be settled, and we will all have the same Governor. An! so with our Representative to the Legisla ture, but in this it will be far better to let thirty-seven good men, chosen for the pur pose, settle the matter as to who shall be our candidate, than to revert the matter to the whole people of the county to choose between candidates in a scramble attendeiTby bad passions and demoraliza tion.”. But a crop of “independents” will be the legitimate outbirth of our ill-starred gu- bernatorial contest. . Satan About.—If anybody believes that Satan is not circulating arouud among the Democracy in the Southern States, let him start op Mason and Dixpn’s Line and pursue his course southward. That It takes a Satan in his largest pro portions and fullest development to tempt the Virginians or anybody else into run ning duplicate electoral tickets will not be disputed. We can see that folly too plainly for doubt; but that it took a Sa tan of uncommon size apd power to get Tennessee into .a squabble which will elect a so-called Republican * Governor, and Georgia Democrats into another squabbie which possibly leaves the selec tion of Governor to the colored popula tion, the whites of these States will not admit. And this in the year of a Presi dential election, when every nerve should be strained to rescue the country from the bondage of the placemen’s party. Was there ever such rampant folly ? Early October Elections.—Town elections occur in Connecticut on Monday, tlie 4l1i of October; -State elections in Georgia, on Wednesday, the Ctb, and the grand crucial test, according to the politi cians, comes off in tie State elections of Indiana, Ohio and West Virginia on Tues day, October 12, when if Indiana goes Democratic a heavy draft oii gas, romance and thin air will be essential to the vital ity of hope in the Republican party. A Good Nomination.—The Democrat ic . convention of the Second Senatorial district which met at Hlnesville on the 15th instant, unanimously nominated William R. Gignilliat, Sr., Esq., for the Senate. Mr. Gignilliat is a graduate of th« University of Georgia, and an old cit izen of McIntosh county, li elected, be . will make a wise and Incorruptible legis lator. A report from Illinois. Daniel Ward, of Naples says: “Tutt’s Pills are even, better than represented. As an anti-bll- , ions medicine they have no equal. They seem to act on the mind as well as on the K~ily. I was continually morose^ and lotny with foreoodings of evil—I am « another man; have good appetite aud gealiott, and fuel cheerful and happy.” THE MAINE ELECTION. A Statement by the Democratic Na tional Committee, Sbowlna: Up the Frauds Committed and Contem plated by the Republican Manipu lators. Portland, Sept. 17,1 r- tt — Four hundred and seventy-two towns give Da vis a plurality of 878, against a Fusion plurality last year of 129. Thirty-four -share iu.thedispositiouwfficb you declare majority of 572 last year. If they come in the same as last year, Davis will have in MgntMBe «is* ywfr tma wiu nave snpporte „ 0 f Hancock and English,’and left 303 plurality. Adding the- scatterin stand ready to meet you on auy fair, Tion- to that received we will have 416, so that - - Davis will not get a majority without further gain of 114. New Yore, Sept. 17.—The Tribune publishes the following dispatch- dated Augusta, Me., September 16: To Whildaw Reid,New York Tribune: Returns from the country towns show steady and uniform gains in the ltepnbii- cau vote, justifying our canvass in every respect. In Portland, Bangor, Bath, Biddeford, Belfast and some fifteen or twenty other largo towns we met our principal loss, by means to which I have already referred. These instrumentalities did not reach the country towns. Hence Gov. Davis has been coming up splendid ly within the last 36 hours. We now feel confident of his election by the vote of the people. There is a possibility that Democratic frauds will be attempted among the French in the far off Moda- waska region, on our extreme northeast ern frontier, over 300 miles from here by the existing routes of travel. These French people are themselves honest and inno cent, but they are made passive instru ments of fraud by tlie genuine Anglo- Saxon Democrats, of the State. Frauds In Modawasfca have been often tried by the Democrats in the past.. They were signally exposed and rebuked as long ago as 1858 by Hon. Jas. S. Pike, of the Tribune, appointed a special commission er by Gov. Lott Morrill. Itjnay become necessary to order a similar investigation this year. The courage of the Maine Republicans never was higher than at this moment We have elected twenty-two members of the Senate against nine by the Fusionists, and have tlie House of Representatives by a large majority. The political power of Maine is perma nently wrested from the men who last year dishonored the State. [Signed.] James G. Blaine. The Sun has the following: “General Hancock on receipt of the first Maine news, telegraphed his congratulations to Harris M. Plaisted, at Bangor. Mr. Plaisted replied: ‘Thanks lor yonr con gratulations on the glorious victory of our plain people in opposition to class legisla tion and the sixth term. We fused and won a union victory. You head tlie army while I man the guns.’ ” Mr. Pulsifer telegraphed that himself and numerous friends desired an opinion from Gen. Hancock on the Maine victory. The General’s reply was: “Your telegram received, asking what I think the effect of the Maine election will be. I think it will lead to the good and efficient administra tion of our public affairs—rebuking sec tionalism, cementing the Uuion and per petuating representative government. But instead of permitting us to relax our la bors, it imposes the necessity of increasing them to reiist the desperate efforts of our opponents. Harder work than ever is re quired of our friends for a crowning vic tory.” Eugene Caserly, of San Francisco, tele graphed as follows: “Maine is redeemed, and a new star in the East shines bright ly. Its name is Hancock. ‘Bayonets are not fit instruments forcollectiugfreemen’s votes.’ Well spoken High Chief.” Gen. Hancock, in return, said: “The result on tbo Atlantic front is very encour aging. May it be equalled at least on the Pacific coast, to which I am warmly at tached, with which I am identified by eaily association, and whose interests I understand, and in any sphere of life would always endeavor to promote.” New Yore, September 17.—The fol lowing dispatch was received this after noon: Rockland, Me., Sept. 17.—To M. Han lon, New York: The Republican rascali ty is beyond comprehension. There is no doubt that au attempt is being made to count Plaisted out. If it succeeds it will add ten thousand to our vote in November. [Signed,] Tnos. H. Muncir. New York, September 17.—The Dem ocratic Committee bas issued tlie follow- ingstatement relative to the election in Maine: ' - • Headquarters National Democratic Committee, New York. Sept. 17.—The latest reliable and official returns received from Maine. are as follows: i Returns from 428 towns give Plaisted 70,010, Da vis, 70,698; Republican majority, 079. In the same' towns in 1870 the!opifosition vote was 57,499 and tbc Republican, 72,705; Republican majority, 15,200; Republican loss in 1880 from the corresponding elec tion in 1870,14,5S7. There are 58 towns and plantations yet to be heard from, and the same relative gain in those towns as compared with 1876, would give, at ft low estimate, over 1000 Democratic majority. The Republican manipulators in Maine are pretending to claim : a majority for Davis, and are undoubtedly trying to doc tor tbc returns to bear out this claim. . It remains to be seen whether they propose to begin In Maine to reinaugurate a fraud similar to that of 1876. For two days Mr. Blaine and tlie Republican leaders con ceded Mr. Plalsted’s election, as the Re publicans did that qf Mr. Tilden in 1870. The entire machinery for counting the vote is in the hands of the Republican re turning board. Usually in past years it bas only required about two da/s to as certain definite results in Maine; this year all of the first returns showed great Democratic gains, and it was only when the Republican manipulators have stopped the returns coming in, and delayed them until they could be altered, that changes were made in favor of Davis. . As an in stance, the county of Kennebec, which usually completes its returns in one day, was held back until after Thursday, and it Is -openly asserted by a former Republi can leader that tbc returns are kept back for manipulation. Two of the five Congressmen (Murch and Ladd) are conceded. Philbrick, Dem ocratic candidate in Blaine’s district, while actually elected, may he counted, out by fraud by a very small majority- under one hundred. In the first district, Anderson, the Democratic candidate, is practically in the same position, as the Republicans only claim a majority for Reed of 93—thus showing that out of fire Congressmen four Democrats were elect ed. Tliis is the best criterion by which to judge the popular sentiment of the State. Plaisted is clearly elected and can only be defeated by a fraudulent count. Tlie only gains shown by the Republican party, or claimed by them, are in Demo cratic counties, inaccessible by telegraph and away from the lines ofrailroad. The best evidence of tlie fraud proposed to be perpetrated is the fact that, while the Fu sion ticket showed large gains all over the State in Repnblican cities and coun ties, a Republican gain Is claimed in Democratic counties. [SignedJ William P. Baenum, Chairman. Portland, Me., September 18.—Four hundred and ninety-seven towns ■ give Davis 74,416, Plaisted 73,000, scattering 338. Davis’ plurality Is 416. The six towns to hear from gave last year Davis 61, Smith 27, Garcelon 201—a Fusion plu rality of 167. Deducting that, Davis will have a plurality of 249, which is SO short of majority, supposing no further gains or losses. ’ V A system of pneumatic clocks has been established in Paris, by which the correct lime is distributed in the principal streets, and to subscribers in their houses, In a manner similar to that by which gas is furnished.

In it the committee' says: “We regret that your committee did not accept the plan of compromise which wc submitted to^yon in deference to a desire of many ofSoul people of all shades of opinion on JogalMssuesj Ifiil we not to ‘ perpetuate a strife between the orable and just terms of reconciliation and concession which shall clearly and une quivocally maintain the principles enu merated and the nominees presented by the Cincinnati,convention of the national Democracy; *' L ** ~ ' “We propose to amend the third section of the plan of conciliation submitted by your committee, so as to require _ that none but legal voters, who are national Democrats, shall participate in the elec tion. General Hancock and Mr. English were nominated by tlie regular Demo cratic convention. The delegates who shared in their nomination were all Dem ocrats. No Democrat can fittingly object to confining the selection of those who are to be entrusted with casting the popu lar vote for tlie Democratic nominees to their brother Demccrats alone. We' by no means wish to exclude any person of whatever political profession from voting for Hancock and English; on the contrary, •we welcome all who wish in good faith to support them. Party fealty, prudence anil unvarying custom, however, alike re quire tliat the representatives of the party be chosen by the parly. Some of the members of the party which your commit tee represents have publicly declared that, in tlieir opinion, a majority of tlie Vir ginia Democrats are in sympathy with them. We cannot see that they can ob ject to the test of a Democratic primary election, which would only result, it they be correct, in vindicating their judgment. We invoke the test.” Several other amendments of minor im portance here follow. In conclusion the committee says; “Seeking only the tri umph of national Democracy, we will cordially join with you in this effort to unite all of its adherents if it meets your approbation. The political destiny of fifty millions of people should .not, in our judgment, be in any wise disturbed or im perilled by difference of opinion upon matters local to our State. We doubt not that the people of Virginia will, in their own way, dispose of the local questions, but we deprecate tlieir interjection Into national controversies which concern the whole country. To do this now would only perpetuate the strife between the support ers of llancock, which your letter declares you do not desire. While we have every confidence that the ticket which we repre sent would be successful, we desire that the moral influence of Virginia’s actiou may be everywhere felt ere the battle is ended, and that all popular apprehension may at once be eased by that union of all Democrats which will put her course be yond controversy or question.” The Readjusters’ committee was in ses sion until 5 o’clock this afternoon, when they sent their reply to the foregoing. The reply sets forth that the Readjusters’ com mittee cannot consistently consent to any arbitration less potent than that of the people of Virgiuia. Signal failure had attended every effort to secure popular indorsement of the first proposition by the Conservative committee — the mixed electoral plan. To the people of Vnginia, Will the Readjostcrs’ committee consent tfl submit as arbitrators. And this is the easiest and most conclusive solution of the whole matter. The last analysis of De mocracy is that the majority must rule, and by this standard it is proposed to measure and contrast the strength of the opposing parties. The amendments proposed to the Re adjusters’ plan might be substantially granted with one exception—that pro viding that none but legal voters who are national Democrats shall participate in the proposed primary election. In rela tion to this amendment the committee says: “We canlijit and will not yield to auy demand tSCj-frould place us in a po sition of abandoning faithful allies, ami we cannot concede that any man’s De mocracy is to be concluded by Tiis vote in 1876 or by his previous political opinion or association or by the fact that three weeks before the election he should not have paid his capitatioh tax, which, by law, lie may pay at any time before the election. We propose 10 recognize in the projected primary every registered voter who by participation'therein shall show a purpose to support Hancock aud En glish. We saw and see no reason why any other qualification should be de manded of a voter. . Why should Demo crats wish to place limits upon the mem bership of their party? Why should they not seek and welcome converts and recruits?” The reply then goes on at some length to apply the suggestions orthe Conserva tive proposition to the politics of other States in connection with national affairs, and says: “Our desire is to attract, not to repel, others for Hancock and English. We have deemed that to be the Democrat ic work of the hour. We have not sup posed that the political antecedents of a voter, or his color, could constitute a valid reason for the rejection of his as sistance to our cause, and'in this view we have been supported by the chairman of the National Democratic Committee. Ai to the policy and duty of seeking to ob tain for the Hancock ticket the elements of strength heretofore given to Repub lican . candidates, we have upon this committee, which you have addressed, and which is row replying to you, gentlemen who did not vote for the national Democratic candi dates at the last presidential election, but who are to-day active and earnest, sup porters of Hancock and English. Was it expected that they should be ostracised ? Wc cannot permit the Democracy of any Readjuster wbo adheres to the platform of the July convention and supports the ticket they proclaimed to be challenged and denied underthe sanction of this com mittee.” The communication concludes: “But this letter is not written for the. purpose of further criminations between' bur res pective parties, though the manner of your rejection of our propositions of the 16th iDstant made it necessary that some notice should be taken af the reasons al leged for that action. It only remains to say, that with and upon those prop ositions, constituting, in our judgment, a just,liberal and Democratic plan for con centrating upon one ticket the Hancock vote of Virginia, we rest our case. Tlie conference seems to have developed noth ing more than the irreconcilability of the views of our respective parties, and noth ing remains to us but to appeal to the peo ple at the ballot-box In support of our claim to give voice to the will of Virginia in Federal as well as State affairs.” • J- ■■ After this communication was delivered to the Conservative committee the Read juster committee adjourned sine die. t Lady Burdett-Coutts, so all letters from London concur In saying, continues obstinately beut on her marriage with Mr. Ashinead Bartlett. It is reported that site lias settled $80,000 ayear on her promesso sposo, and it seems likely that the resolute and probably indiscreet opposition of her relatives and. friends and the royal family to the match have only bad tlie effect to make her more obstinately persist in its consummation. She is said to be rather headstrong, and she has been accustomed to have her own way through life. The llurdetts are an odd family, anyhow, and both they and the Couttscs aro prone to do queer things.

These baskets are also the recepta cles of dinner buckets, roasting cars, to bacco leaves and pipes, and divers things too numerous to mention; they also make capital beds (and they never fail to take advantage of them) .for mangy, dirty-pawed curs. - Many of the tenants have no. cotton houses, or, too lazy to build them, pile the cotton in the fields to be rained and snowed upon, blown about by the wind and tramped into the ground by fence breaking cattle. When it is put into a cotton bouse it fares about as badly, if not worse, than it does when left in the fields. These houses are rarely, if ever, rainprooi, and in them is kept, with the cotton, eveiy domestic article conceivable. “When the cotton is brought from the fields in the condition above stated, it Is again tramped and packed unmercifully, remains in this condition sometimes for montlis, and wjien it is taken out to be ginned, is a perfect rat’s nest.

They al so keep the sides of the box, from top to bottom, wet by spriukling it with a hand ful of dripping cotton. Ask one of them why he does this, and the answer invaria bly is, ‘to make it heavy.’ Now, when a bale of cotton has been treated in this manner, and tlie returns announce that it is * water packed ’ or greatly reduced by ‘ scale pickings,’ ough: we to be s urprised ?” Protectionists Coming to Their Senses.—We are glad to have the testi mony of the Philadelphia Record that, “not a few of our manutacturers are al ready /beginning to inquire whether it would not promote their interest to do away with high duties altogether, in or der to forestall the competition of busi ness rivals here at home, naving them selves become securely established as against foreign manufacturers, thfiy argue that a continuance of the protective sys tem tends to set on foot and build up new industrial establishments to contest the market with them.” Eastern maufacturers have long been inclining towards this con clusion; but we were hardly prepared to believe that tbe reaction of opinion had gained any foothold in Pennsylvania. It seems incredible that practical men of business should have failed to foresee that the very means designed to protect them against foreign competition must inevita bly encourage competition at homer aud lead to a ruinous over-production. There is no State in the Union that has had bet ter chances of learning this than Pennsyl vania. Its iron trade has always insisted upon being shielded by relatively excess ive duties. Under the very moderate tariff of 1846, the duty on iron was thirty per cent.; and the ef fect of that discrimination was to induce an-espansion of the home pro duction tlias brought a protracted and most disastrous prostration alike on the smelting j»nd manufacturing branches. •Alld, again, the higher duties imposed under the war tariff, while reviving the lialf-ruined industry, led to a new expan sion of production, the consequence of which appeared i n the stoppage of one- half the furnaces and rolling miiis be tween 1873 and 1879. This unwhole some stimulus of tbe borne trade, result ing from excessive duties, is one among many reasons why protection, so-called, cannot protect.” A Merry New Orleans bailor Hoy.

I am under aft engagement, which lean best discharge at this point, to discuss Mr. Norwood’s so-called indorsers. The mer its of a question cannot be settled in this way, but when the Norwood men retreat behind “the shadows of great names,” the temptation to strip them of “that last re sort of eiyor” may be indulged. Besides, the indorsers aire entitled, to due notice of- tb6ir principal’s disbopor. / __ --- THE FORGERIES. It is not-true that some of ibe .alleged securities have indorsed Mr.,Norwood at all. They are not even accommodation acceptors. Ben Hill is heralded as an indorser; and yet, not even that iucarna* ted cork-screw, au Atlanta reporter, could extract one word in favor of Norwood from him. This gentleman has -not been bearfl from on auy point relating to Gov ernor Colquitt since the Legislature em phatically rebuked his insinuations about tLe Northeastern Railroad bonds, except to indorse Senator Brown as hhving won upon his entrance to that body the confi dence and - respect of the leaders of the Senate. -If Alex, Stephens has indorsed Nor wood, he too, has not let it be known. Outlie contrary, he expressly indorsed Colquitt by the public declaration in At lanta during the convention, that Col quitt’s majority entitled liim to tlie nomi nation. If he has gone back on that, no body knows it. As Mr. Stephens is too diminutive aud too honest to be on both sides of a question at the same time, it is fair to infer that be is still on the right one. Hon. John A. Stephens, his neph ew, who may be presumed to respect the opinions of his eminent kinsman, declined to indorse Mr. Norwood’s candidacy by remaining on tbe committee upon which he was appointed. JUDGE WARNER. Against Judge Warner, who has aroused from his long nap .on the Supreme bench, to gratify an old feud against Walter T. Colquitt by antagonizing bis son, I will offset Judge James 'Jackson, Martin J. Crawford, and Logan E. Bleckley. Any one of these Is tbe equal of Judge War ner, but I throw in the other two for good measure. The spectacle of the re tired Chief Justice contradicting, in thp zeal of political hate, the decisions of Judge Lumpkin, rendered in the serenity of judicial impartiality, respecting the at torney’s lien, is a lamentable instance of tlie fact that men may live too long for their Own reputation. GENERAL TOOMBS. This distinguished revolutionist lias been found on tlie side of anarchy, dis ruption and defeat ever since he entered public life,-and his alliance with Nor- woodism only serves' to fix the character of this movement as revolutionary and hopeless. He denounces all of Mr. Nor wood’s charges against Governor Colquitt as false, and says the only bad act of Col quitt’s administration was the appoint ment of Joe Brown- As this gentleman has got tlie best of Mr. Toombs in all the contests they ever had, and as his judgment is as safe as Mr. Toombs’ genius is destruc tive it is with perfect confidence that he is named as Mr. Toombs’ opponent in this duel. EX-GOV. SMITH. It would be unreasonable to expect that ex-Gov. Smith would not support bis old schoolmate in this race; especially after Mr. Norwood’s taunt that Colquitt ap pointed him to an office to silence his oppo sition. But Mr. Norwood’s friends are not the friends of Gov. Smith. They are printing as a campaign document a speech in which Gov. Smith denounces Colquitt for abuses of the couvict system. This speech was delivered in Columbus on one night, and the next morning tlie “facts ami figures” came out from the records that those abuses were jive limes as great under Gov. Smith’s administration as un der Gov. Colquitt’s. If there could be any crucifixion more cruel to Gov. Smith llian-fo continue to circulate this speech among people coenizant of what tbe rec ords show, 1 can not imagine it. Gov. Smith is the ablest and most honest of Gov. Colquitt’s foes. He is the only one who has not told us, in effect, that it is' infamous to have belonged to tbe Confed erate army, and that any allusion to fidel ity iu tlie war is an result to Southern people. On the contrary, his own speech appeals to tho military spirit; aud as he is no renegade, it is fitliug to pit against him in this array a foernan worthy of his steel —one whom the scorching rays of slander have illuminated, not consumed, and whose brigades still follow him in peace as in war—John B. Gordon. GENERAL LAWTON. Against him, I mention his equally dis tinguished partner, Henry R. Jackson. As Savannah is Mr. Norwood's home, Gen. Jackson’s support of Colquitt is more significant than Gen. Lawton’s sup port of Norwood. As Gen. Jackson is no candidate for senator, his attitude is less significant Ilian Gen. Lawton’s on the senatorial question. I honor Gen. Law- ton as much as any one else in Georgia honors him, hut I can not give him that confidence in this issue to which lie would be entitled if no aspirations were in his mind, wiiicb might deflect his opinions of men and measures. A KILKENNY FIGHT. But enough; alter this array of leading men on different sides, it would be inter esting to watch the Norwood leaders fight it out among themselves. First, Gen. Toombs would denounce them all as “no gentlemen” Ibr- making base charges against Colquitt, when he only did one tiling wrong. Judge Warner and Gen. Lawton would engage in an animated wrangle about the lee paid by Colquitt for the collection of tho state Road claim; and in the heat of argument Judge War ner would observe that Gen. Lawton would stand in a better position to attack Colquitt if he would refund his part of that fee. Gov. Smith and tien. Lawton would not disagree about tbe impropriety oftbe ‘ ~ would that connection, THE REAL INDORSERS. From this house divided against itself, Ictus turn to the people of Georgia, who have made aud can unmake these lead- eis; let us turn to the seven hundred and fifty thousand Democratic constituency represented by the Colquitt delegates in the convention; let us turn to tbe patriot ism of Clifford Anderson in that conven tion; let us turn to the public virtue of our State, wltich has united with tbe Democracy of tbe North to put down a back salary grabber. How any man can put Norwood’s name on the ticket for Hancock and English is the mystery of political mysteries. How can the same ballot indorse and condemn the grab, tbe lobby and tbe dodge? No-Axe. s appointment of Joe Brown, but they 1 differ widely about other points in TI.—Tbo East Charge. I promised to make a short statement of each charge against Governor Colquitt and each reply. But since then, a new charge, tbe “forlorn hope” of tlie Nor wood privates, is ordered to tho front. BRIBERY. The final disgrace of (Georgia's execu tive and judiciary has been proclaimed. Governor Colquitt and Judge Hawkins are arraigned for bribery. Hawkins was brought over to Colquitt’s support by the payment of a fee which Governor Smith and the Legislature had agreed to pay’ anil which Colquitt, in violation of Jaw, put his liandinto the treasury and paid. A CAMPAIGN DOCUMENT. Let ns pause for breath. If the Bible Society were a present making a more than ordinarily vigorous effort to circu late the good book, tbe Norwood side might complain of it as a campaigu docu ment. There are two things in It which would put an end to tbe Norwood cam paign. One is tbe commandment, “Thou shait not bear false witness against tby neighbor.” The other is a question, and as Mr. Norwood runs up and down over the State, Ins irionth foaming witli the sa liva Of slauder, that, question should be asked of him, “lVhat shall be done unto, thee, thou false tongue?” FACTS AND FIGURES. On January 27,1877, Governor Smith addressed a letter to Governor Colquitt, from which the following is ail extract: “For the purposes of prosecuting effective ly the cases of the State vs. John Jones, both on tlie criminal and civil sides of the Superior Court of Fultou county, the lat ter involving several hundred thousand dollars. I employed Hon. W. A. Haw kins tp assist the Attorney General. I ad vanced wliilS-in office $360 from the contin gent fund; to' Mr. Hawkins and intended to fix tlie amount of his fee before I left office, but in the press of business the matter was overlooked. • * Col. Haw kins’ fee should be at least $3,500 in these cases.” .■ - Eveiy one knows that the settlement of the Jones case was but recently made. After the settlement, there was due- to Col. Hawkins $500, as a balanee of the above fee. This Gov. Colquitt paid. Its payment was no favor. There would not have been a decent excuse for delaying it. It was an obligation, created by the con tract of Gov. Smith; and Gov. Colquitt could but pay it. This is the bribe! This is tbe bank check that has brought infamy on tlie Governor, and tbe Supreme bench of Georgia! -Verily, slander shares the fate of the jimson weed; In the morn ing, it growetli up and flourisheth; in the evening, it is cut down and withereth. •» A LOCAL CHARGE has constantly been beard in Macon from its connection with parties here. It is that Governor Colquitt has plead the statute of limitations to a just debt, having no other defense. Mr. Norwood was base enough to introduce this into his speech in Macon; but he did so by insinuation, so as not to disclose to Governor Colquitt (ignorant of the misrepresentation) the purport of his attack. Now, Mr. Norwood spent thirty-six hours iu Macon before that speech, and if he had any scruples about making false-accusations, be could have made inquiry for tlie truth. But Mr. Norwood does not trace rumor down to facts. If lie did, his speech would resolve itself into willful falsehood. I give the statement of ono of the parties. He is naturally anti-Colquitt, and may feel strongly on the subject, but be bas no love ol slander, and is not responsible for the perversions of the matter made by others. Tbe simple facts are tliat no suit has ever been brought on the debt, and no plea of the statute of limitations set up. A BUSINESSS VIEW. Some of tlio best business men in Georgia became involved sborly after tbe war in the effort to run plantations, un der tlie new regime, and have never been able to retrieve themselves. A bonanza like a salary grab, or a fee from tbe hold ers of fraudulent bonds, or S10,000 a year to lobby for Huntingdon, would put them in funds to settle tlieir debts; but the small salary of the Governor of Georgia does not more than pay tbe ac tual expenses of tbo incumbent, even when, as in Governor Colquitt’s case, he is a plain man, and give3 no fancy balls. One thing is' certain, Governor Colquitt bas not held on to property and screened it from creditors. To say that a man can not have politi cal sagacity because be owes debts, would falsify the well-known history of Sheri dan, Fox and Daniel Webster. I like the appeal to business..meu. Those who get checks unsigned from the most careful of their correspondents, know how trivial was Norwood’s great blow over the issuing of one unsigned warrant in an administration of four years.

Valentino. I A New "Solid South.” | There is another than a political sense ; in which tlie South may be said to be solid. She is prosperous'and likely to be come more so, year by year. The rapid increase of population within her borders during the last decade has occasioned genuine surprise in the North, hut that is only one indication of the progressive march on which she lia3 now fairly en tered, and wherein she has by no means reached the end, or even the middle. What the most sagacious of the anti slavery leaders predieted-as sure-to follow the abolition of the peculiar Institution, has come to. pass. The SouIIlJs becom ing populous, it is growing rich. Com merce is taking anew start, manufac tures are springing up everywhere, and the planter secs his fields better tilled than ever before. Railroads are being "built in all directions; new steamship lines are started; even the mineral wealth of the South is beginning to be developed. New _ Orleans, her principal seaport, is winning back its ante helium position many times over, and will, in a few years, be the rival of New York aud Balti more, not only in its old staple of cotton, hut also in the new ones of grain and live stock. All this is a perfectly legitimate growth in prosperity, too, and therefore more cer tain of lasting. There is no reason why the great Southern staple should be sent North to be shipped for Europe. The natural thing to do is to put it ou a steam er at New Orleans, Mobile or Savannah or Charleston, and carry it across the At lantic without auy break of bulk. This would be a saviDg of labor and time, which means a saving of money. It has also been found that it is cheaper to trans port com and wheat down the Mississippi ftom the great grain fields on its upper course than'to the Atlanticseaboard, while to'bring the cattle of Texas to a point at the doors of the grazing fields must inevi tably have its advantages over the plan of sending them 2,060 miles or more by train. Texas is rich in many things, and her products, added to those of Louisiana, Arkansas, and Mississippi, find their na tural outlet towards Europe at New Or leans, and the system of railroads which is either built up or in process of build ing, connecting that city with thpse sec tions of country, will soon supply the one thing needful—transportation facilities. The recent improvements at the mouth of the big river have made it pos sible for the largest seagoing steamers to anchor off tbe Crescent City’s wharves, and it only remains to perfect the internal system of communication to give an im petus to commerce there such as any Southern city never before experienced. Last year the imports and exports jumped from $71,000,000 to $104,000,000, and her bank clearances from $442,000,000 to$506,- 000,000. The wheat receipts more than doubled, being over 14,000,000 bushels, as agaiust 6,750,000 bushels in 1679. There was also an increase in the cotton receipts amounting to 300,000 bales, or one-fifth of the whole. We in this city ifiiglit be expgcted to feel some jealousy at lluding such formid able rivals spring up to dispute the foreign trade of the country with us, aud if we looked at the matter in an old-time, nar row and bigoted light, we undoubtedly would. Fortunately, we are aware that the South, healthy and prosperous, will be our best possible customer once more, and that even if our European commerce should decrease in one or two articles, it will be more than made* up in a score of other directions. The “Solid South,” in this sense, may rest assured that she has no better well-wishers than tbe “Solid North.”—New York Graphic. Sow to Make up a Quarrel. William Ladd was tho president of the American Peace Society, aud he believed that the principle of peace, carried out,' would maintain good will among neigh bors as well as among nations. But there was a time when he had not fully consid ered this subject—had not thought much about it, as 1 dare say .my young readers have not; and lie believed that, if a man struck him a blow, it was best, and fair, to strike right back again, without consid ering if there were not some better way of orercoming the offender, or, if a man did him any injury, why, as people commonly say, he would “give him as good as ho sent.” He then had a farm ; and a poor mail, who lived ou land adjoining bis, neglected to keep up a fence which it was his busi ness to keep in order, and, in conse quence, bis sheep got into William Ladd’s wheat field and did much mischief. William Ladd told his man Sam to go to the neighbor and tell him he must mend the fence and keep the sheep out. But the sheep came again, and William Ladd, who was a very orderly man himself, was provoked. “Sam,” he said, “go to that fellow and tell him if he don’t keep his sheep out of my wheat field, I’ll have them shot.” Eveil this did not do, the sheep were in again. “Sam,” said Wil liam Ladd, “take my gun and shoot those sheep.” “I would rather not,”'said Sam. “Rather not, Sam! Why, there are hut three; It’s no great job.” “No, sir; but the poor man has but three iu the world, and 1 am not the per- son that likes to shoot, a poor man’s sheep.” “Then the poor man should take the proper care of them. I gave him warning. Why didn’t he mend his fence ?” “Well, sir, I guess it was because you sent him a rough kind of message. It made him mad, and so he wouldn’t do it.” “I considered a few minutes,” said Wil liam Ladd, “and then I told Sam to put the hprse in the buggy.” “Shall I put in the gun ?” said Sam. “‘No, said I. I saw Sam half smiled, but I said nothing. I got into the buggy and drove up to my neighbor’s; be lived a mile off, and I had a good deal of time to think the matter over. When I drove up to liis house, the man was chopping wood. There were few sticks of wood, and the house was. poor,, aud my heart was softened. “Neighbor,’.’ 1 called out. Tlie man looked sulky and did not lift up his head. “Come, come, neighbor,” said I, ‘T have come with friendly feel ings to you, and you must meet me half-way.” He perceived I was in earn est, laid down liis axe, and came to' tbe wagon. “No, neighbor,” said I, “we have both been in the wrong; you neglected your fence, and I got angry, and sent you a provok ing message. Now let’s both face about, and both do right, and both feel right. I’ll forgive you, and you shall forgive me. Now, let’s shake hands.” He didn’t feel quite like giving me his hand, but be let me take it, “Now,” said I, “neighbor, drive your sheep down to my south pas ture; they shall share with my sheep till next spring; and you shall have the yield, and next summer we’ll start fair.”' His hand was no longer dead in mine, he gave me a good friendly grasp. The tears came into his eyes, and he said, “I guess you are a Christian, William Ladd, after all.” “And that little fracas with my neigh bor about the sheep was,” said william Ladd, “the first step to my devoting my self to the Peace Society.” The Yotalic Belt Company, Marshall, Michigan, will send their- celebrated Electro-Voltaic BeltS to the afflicted upon thirty days trial.

A New Story About Kaiser Will iam.—The German Emperor, after in specting tbe new barracks of tbe Second Guard Dragoons in tbe Pioneerstrasse, a few days ago, contrived, while chatting with tbe officers in tbe mess-room, to write a few words with a chalk pencil upon the tunic of tbe senior regimental captain, unperceived by that officer. Thi9 done bis majesty left the room laughing lieaitily, accompanied by tlie colonel of the regiment, Prince Frederick of Holien- zolleni, whereupon the senior staff officer present walked up to Captain Von S. and, to his utter consternation, proceeded to unfasten and remove his epaulets. Un conscious of having committed any dere liction of duty, Von S. remained motion less while this ominous operation was be ing performed, but his painful perplexity gave place to jubilant exultation when the Lieutenant Colonel produced a pair of majors epaulets and dexterously buttoned them to his shoulders. The words hastily scribbled by the Empeaor upon Captain Von S.’s uniiorm were “Zion Major befo- erdert,” (promoted to major), andthe sub sequent details of this genial surprise had been arranged by his majesty beforehand with the Lieutenant Colonel. It is said that in hi3 rejoicing at his unexpected ad- vaticcmeur, the newly made major called up the senior non-comraissioned officer of his squadron, and said to him: Sergeant major, the squadron is relieved from duty for to-day. Let the men have as much to ri rink as they please. I pay for all.” The Next Empress of Russia. In Russia the people hardly dare to talk about their coming event. The Czar is bound to mairy the Princess Dolgorouky; that is regarded as certain. The Princess was his mistress for some years before the death of tlie Empress. She was in the Winter Palace at the time ot the Nihilist gunpowder plot. His dalliance with her saved his liie on that occasion, for it made him late to dinner and left the powder to explode under an empty room. On Dol- gorouky’s account the Czar banished his dying Empress and had a bitter quarrel witlTliis son and heir. On her account he bad risked innumerable Nihilistic dan gers. He wears a coat of mail, travels in iron-clad railway cats, and seems insane with fear sometimes, but he trembles more on Dolgorouky’s account than he docs on his own. Now that the Empress is out of the way, the Czar is determined to marry his mistress. A marriage “with the left hand” would hardly signify a change in their relations, and" as the Czar is anxious to make Princess Dolgorouky not only his wife, but his Empress,- it is whispered about the court that lie will presently marry in state. What complications this scandalous marriage may lead to, by es tranging tbe rest of the' imperial family and bringing tbe Russian nation to a re alization of tho shame and disgrace to- which' its autocratic institutions have brought it, no one can tell. Naturally, the people are watching the proceedings of the amorous monarch with anxious eyes. —Chicago Times. Married, and yet unhappy.
