anSt €rl?grapl} ani FRIDAY OCTOBER 29, 1880. A Girl employed iu * Fall River mill 50 a week finds licrself lieiress to $150,- 300. Mb. Hayes will return to Fremont, ft, in time to vote at the November elec tion. Bss. Butler is confident that Indiana will go Democratic next month; and not only that, but he promises victory all along the line. A Malden milkman was bitten by a dog the other day. This is fortunate for his customers. He will have a dread ot water after this. Two men seem to hold the continent of North A-.erica in a sling. One of these fa Johnny Davenport, and the other is Mahone of Virginia, chief of the debt scalers. Tee devastation caused by rabbits amounts iu Australia to a serious calam- %j. One large estate, which formerly supported 30,000 sheep has been abandon ed on account of these pests. One express company, says the World of the 19th, took week before last in one package to the Republican managers in Indiana the handsome sum of $850,000. A jollv young girl in Corea Declared that she never did see a Young man from the “Hub” Whom she didu’tcall “bub,” And they always responded, ‘Oh-deah.’ As elegant marble shaft, to be erected as a monument to the late Albert Sidney Johnston, has arrived from Italy, at Hous ton, Texas. The monument was purchas ed with a fund raised years ago by the ladies of Houston. A Boston poet breaks forth as follows: We shall never be happy again! We shall never be happy again, If old Indiana Behaves in this manner, We shall never be happy again. Garfield and Sherman.—The Ohio State Journal, Gen. Garfield's home organ, at Monday, says: “We do not care to en gage in cabinet-making at present, but we venture to remark that the financial bead of the government will not be changed during Garfield’s administration.” , .large quantities of cotton-seed oil have long been shipped from the United States to Italy and other European coun tries for mixing with olive oil, and in some instances cotton-seed oil has been refined and labeled, and sold as olive oil. The Italian government now proposes to pre vent this by imposing a high duty on cot ton-seed oil. A correspondent of the London Daily Sevu, who has lately visited General Garibaldi, reports that he suffers terribly, and is a mere wreck, dependent on the loving hands that wait upon him; but be is cheerful in mind, and does not aggravate has affliction by idle complaints. A Republican repeater of this city, says the B'orfil of the 19th, was yesterday boosting at the Republican headquarters that be took fifty men to Indiaua and suc ceeded iu casting 1,250 votes for the Re publican ticket. It is by such means that the Republicans carried Indiana. New York City has an exhaustless pure water supply forty feet below the surface, which is largely being taken ad-* vantage of as a superior substitute for Croton. There are already five hundred wells, supplying over 5,000,000gallons per ami this number will be latgcly in creased. There Is to be a baby show in Horti- enUunt! Hall, Boston, with a prize each Ibr the baby under a year old with the handsomest eyes, the blackest eyes, the bluest eyes, the most hair, the least hair, the most weight, the least weight, the smallest hands, and the smallest feet. The finest baby will receive a grand prize. Leprosy exists to a considerable extent a* the Parish of Lafourche, La. An at tempt to make an official investigation was lately resisted with arms, the lepers and their friends believing that the suffer ers were to be insolatcd on an island in the ocean. The report of the physicians is that the disease is not gaining ground. Cheering Garfield, Grant, And Even the Bribe.—At a Republican meeting iu Greenville N. J., one evening fast week, Matthew Armstrong, the Ffny street leather merchant, presided. At the opening of the meeting cheers were given for Garfield and Grant, and then a prominent member of the club called out, “Three cheers for 329.” They Wert given. Many clergymen :n this country have lately received a circular from a London dealer in second baud sermons. He offers sermons “lithographed in a bold, round hand,” sc that those who happen to see them would suppose they were manuscript, for twenty-five cents each, or twenty dol lars a hundred. He has a line of cheaper sermons iu print, ut ten cents apiece, war ranted orthodox; and others—a little more expensive—which have “a pleasantness, yet an awful solemnity about them. How to See Jupiter’s Moons.—An exchange, speaking of the moons of Jupi ter, says that to witness them it is not necessary to buy or borrow a field-glass. A looking glass is all that is necessary, and by observing the reflection of the plan et on a clear nigbt the moons can be seen on either side ot the golden disk of the planet. This plan has been tried success fully. As the moous revolvu about the planet in short periods—the nearest mak- lug the circuit iu less than two daysv- Leir relative positions are constantly changing. The size rf these moons varies from a diameter of 2,352 miles to 2,929 miles. * How Tns Bets go.—Immediately af ter the Ohio election the betting, which bad been at odds in favor of Hancock, auanged, and Garfield was the favorite by three to onp. Gradually, however,' the adds have been givcu at less figure^ land to-day, in the pool-rooms, the figures were Garfield, $1,009; Hancock, $750. Many thousand dollars w ere wagered at these jutes. On New York State, the betting is $1,000 to $700 that Hancock will cany it, and i-vcn betting that Hancock will have en thousand majority. Two to one on Garfield carrying Connecticut was be, several times to-day, and money was bet ;o the extent of $10,000 in small lots bn New Jersey. Trumbull is sure he is going to be elected Governor of Illinois. Speaking of »!,e Judge's last speech in Chicago, one week ago, the Times says: The climax •*. s reached when JulgoTrtunball a? pear- 1,! upon the platform. The reception ac- jn.-.i.M him was an ovation. The audl- arose a-id e'.i> ered and yelled, and continued to ch asy of delig!:! spoke with much more feeling than he is wont to exhibit on the stage. His review of John Sherman's recant speech was clean cut and scathing. But it was his unqual ified expression of confidence in the ulti mate result in Illinois that elicited the great applause. How it was Done! The Sun traces the change in the politi cal horoscope to a satisfactory trade with the Grant stalwarts, by which the Gar field men surrendered the campaign and the administration irrevocably to Grant, and agreed tljat he should run it in his own interests, and for the succession in 1884. Old Simon Cameron seems to take the same view of matter, and rejoices in the assured hope that Grant will be king in 1884, though he (Cameron) may not live to see it. It wa3 this surrender to Grant, and confession of inability on the part of the so-called civil service wing to carry on the campaign with any hope of success, which harmonized all interests, and then the immense money levies be came practicable, and the result in Indiana and Ohio was bought and paid for. Garfield’s sdministration, therefore, if it is secured, is to be practically a Grant and third term affair, and in so far as this arrangement secures the undivided and hearty support of that portion of the Republican party which might have balked at the third term as an original preposition, it is stronger than the nom ination of Grant last fall would have been. Meanwhile, the four years of Gar field, if they come,are to be sedulously de voted to preparing the way for the third term and the empire. Snows in Western Hew York. How Snow Storms and Green Leaves Work. The heavy snow storm in western New York set in on Sunday and continued all day and night and part of the next day. The fall in New York, at its greatest depth, was thirty inches, but further west in some localities is stated at four feet on a level. In New York much damage to fruit resulted, as the leafy branches caught such quantities of sleet and snow that whole orchards of young trees were well nigh destroyed. Several flat roofed barns and one small house were crushed by the snow, and the shade trees in the village of Lancaster were in many pJaces stripped of nearly all of the strjLller brandies and foliage. In many streets the broken and fallen limbs, with the heavy fall of snow, completely blocked travel. Trains on the Central and Erie railroads were much delayed, and the fact of al most a snow blockade in the month of Oc tober is considered very remarkable. The sleighing in Lancaster is good. The snow and ice generally delayed trains from the West. The through trains were thrown twenty-four hours behind time. As soon as the election is over the World (says that paper) proposes to print for permanent use and reference a list of all merchants, manufacturers, bankers and other employers who for partisan pur poses are now forming “leagues” for the purpose ofpreventing their employes and workingmen from casting free and un- trameled ballots. It is our wish to make this list an accurate historical document, and to this end we invite all workingmen, laborers and clerks who have been in any way threatened by their “masters” to send to the World the authenticated par ticulars of the case of each individual. In no case, of course, unless requested or au thorized to do so by our informants, shall we divulge their names, but the facts al leged must be clearly and accurately es tablished in each case. North American Review.—The No vember number of this publication Is at hand, and, as is usual, it is well filled with the most entertaining reading. “The Monarchical Principle in our Con stitution,” by W. B. Lawrence, is written in elegant style, and although containing some heresies, it exhibits ability and ’re search. Bishop Doane contributes an ex cellent article on the “Advantages of Free Religious Discussion.” Hon. Montgom ery Blair gives the pedigree of the Repub lican party. There is a continuation of the “Ruins of Central America,” “The Nicaraguan Route,'’ “The Coming Revi sion of the Bible,” recent European publi cations, and the political situation from a financial standpoint. D. Appleton & Co., New York. Subscription $5 per year. The Western Uxtox.—Jay Gould did not succeed in getting control in the management of the Western Union Tele graph Company at the annual meeting of the stockholders. The old board, headed by Dr. Norvin Green, was re-elected. The prospect now is that the fight be tween the Western Union and the Amer ican Company will go on with increased intensity, and the public will he bene fited by the lower rates caused by the competition. Gould’s avowed policy iR aiming to gain control of of Western Union, as well as the American, was to make * compromise between the two companies, by which the enormously ex pensive rivalry could be ended. The annual report of the Western Union states that tiie exhibits of the fami nes* of the year show an increase over the previous year in gross earnings of $1,699,197.08, and in net earnings of $376,861.12. Deducting from the net earnings fixed charges for interest' and sinking fund, $46S£17.13, leaves a bal ance of net earnings of $4,678,122.32, be ing a little over 11 4-10 per cent, on the capital stock of the company outstanding. Of this 8 per cent, fa as been paid, to stock holders daring the, year, arnouajlpeto $3,280,270.25, the remainder bgirigin- vested m new property. far.*** •--* {p* ■ i i <mm'm |»■ m I y Belknap and Mrs. Greene eloped to- gather, at Melrose, Wis. Tiidy^ylfove jt good horse rapidly, but had cot gone more than ten miles before they heard a clatter of hoofs behind. Greene had hastily mounted and started in pursuit. The race was long and exciting; but the hus band at length rode alongside Jfa pair, cocked a pistol, and commanded a h^lt. •Belknap was abject with terror. ‘‘You may have your wife, Mr. Greene,” he said. “I don't want her,”'Greene replied; “yon don’t think I’ve chased yoti like mad to get licr back! Ob, no. But I’ll take my dollar and a half that she’s got in her pocket.” The money was given up, and the elopement proceeded quietly. iTJSeafil as the Geutilcs cannot get control of the Mormon Legislature in Ulah, Governor Murray proposes to head off the polygamists by abrogating the Legislature, and governing the Territory r and ye’,1 in a -very t by a commission. The Governor claims li'il involuntary tears that there are precedents for such a pro down many a cheek unused to the ' cedure, but the precedents are almost as melting mood. The demonstration bad J unendurable as the evil It is sought to ks atl.-ct upon the Judge, and at limes he abolish. The Necessity for Thorough Party Organization. If the recent personal and partisan gubernatorial contest In Georgia points any moral at all, it is the supreme impor tance of preserving intact the Democratic organization. What do we already behold as the legitimate outcome of what we trust will prove only a temporary split in the ranks of the Democracy? No less than thirteen Radicals, including four negroes, have been elected to the Legisla ture, besides quite a„sprinfclfng of Inde pendents. But worse than that, our in sane divisions have fairly galvanized into life again the Republican party, and so confident are they of their strength, that a colored leader, Deveaux, in telegraphing his congratulations to Gen. Garfield at the result of the Ohio and Indiana elections, promised that Georgia would send two Radical members at least to the next Con gress to support his administration. It is to be hoped that he is mistaken. But the fact is patent that by the assistance of Mr. Dodge, of New York, and other Northern capitalists, and encouraged by Democratic dissensions at home, the white and colored Radicals of the State are making superhu man exertions to carry the first, second and third Congressional districts, and will succeed unless sternly met at every point by a united party. Nor is this all, Our municipal and county offices will doubtless, also, be warmly contested by the Radicals in many counties, and without the most perfect or ganization there is danger that the local affairs of some of them will pass under the control of the negro element. It is for this reason that we deprecate so much the disposition now generally manifested to dispense with the regular machinery of the party in the forthcoming elections, and leave each office open for as many contestants as may Bee fit to enter the field. If this course is persistently pursued, the utter demoralization of the Democrat ic party will only be a question of time, and that at no distant day. We throw out these suggestions for the consideration of the Democratic Executive Committees of the various counties. It will be for them to decide whether the party organization shall remain as hith erto. While no plan for the nomination of candidates has ever been devised which is not open to some objections, for our part we believe thst a iairly conduct ed primary election comes nearer arriving at the public sentiment tlian any other that has been tried. Upon one thing at least all should be agreed, the ascen dancy of the whites in the management of our local affairs must be maintained at every sacrifice. But how can that be done iftbe political bars are let down, and a half dozen ormore Democratic candidates present themselves for every office in the country, iu the very face, too, of a thor oughly oiganized and powerful Radical opposition ? Just at present the danger may not be very apparent. Bat so soon ! as the oiganization of the great party! whose union has assured peace and good government to the commonwealth is thor oughly broken up, then may we look fora return of all our past troubles. As Sure as You Live." Old Simon was interviewed at his Don egal farm in Lancaster, Pa., by a report er of the Boston Herald, last Sunday. The main things got cut of old Simon by tbe reporter, were.the fo’Awing: “General, how do you account for the land-slide iu Ohio and Indiana? “Genera! distrust of the Democratic party. Young man, the people don’t want a change. They prefer to let well > enough alone. They ate prosperous now, f and want to hold on to their prosperity, j with as much more as they can get. The j business interests, as represented in capi- ital and labor, are afraid of the Demo- f cratic patty with its free trade theories and disloyal record. There is also a strong, latent, loyal element in this coun-; try, which responds readily when it is * aroused, and it was aroused by Senator I Conkling in his western tour. He pointed | out the danger to the substantial interests of tbe country, and the people saw it. *• The first result was in Ohio and Indiana, | That is but the beginning.” “Then yon think that Senator Conk- i ling’s visit to the West did great good?” “The appearance of General Grant, and tbe subsequent efforts of Conkling gave the canvass an impetus and momentum which is not realized in the East. Conk- ling’s presentation of the tariff issue was masterly, and Grant was a tower of strength. I tell you that when the anti- Grant men said that the people did not want Grant for President they practiced a deliberate fraud. Not only the result in Indiana aud Ohio, but tbe wonderful de monstrations which led np to it, showed that Grant above any living American has the great heart of the people with him. lie is full of wisdom, full of re source, full of loyalty to his convictions and friends. His years of foreign travel, his wonderful capacity of observation and his facility of retaining and using what be learns make him practically the best iufurmed man In America. The people know and appreciate this, and they have supreme faith in his honesty and ability.” “Wliat of his future, General?” “He will be President as Certainly as he lives. I may not live to see it, but yon undoubtedly will. It is part of the- history of this country which remains to he written.” “What of the future of this canvass generally?”*' * “ I don't think that Hancock will carry a single Northern State. The tide fa set in the right direction. Tbe people are alarmed about the tariff, and that is an is sue which is of such importance (hat it < cannot be overrated, and this is tire first time that it lias arisen to the dignity of a national issue. We have always carried Pennsylvania on it, but it-was net's ques tion of general concern. 'The(tariff and! the sol in South, are the great issues which now divide parties, and they have come into the greatest prominence in'this cam paign, as a natural consequence of the condition of the country and-the altitude of parties.” Mr. Fleming DuBionon.—The elec tion of Mr. Fleming DuBignonto the Leg islature by the citizens of Baldwin coun ty was a great compliment to him, espe cially when his youth and the fact that his competitor was the mayorof Milledge- vllle and one of the most popular gentle men of the county, arc considered. The troth is, Mr. DuBignon is a young man of talent and cultivation, and will ably rep resent old Baldwin in the House. His excellent management of the recent Con gressional convention, of which body he was unanimously chosen chairman, and his administration of justice as judge of the County Court have brought him prom inently before the people, and we doubt not but that the future has great things in store for him.

The New-York Daily Commercial Bul letin vents its contempt of party treatment of the tariff question, thus: The way in which the tariff question has been handled in the Presidential cam paign is no credit to either political party. On the one side, appeals have been made to the operative class on the ground that a reduction of the duties on imports would be attended with a reduction of wages; while the correlative fact has been wholly concealed, that the reduction of wages wonid he more than set off by a cor responding decline in the prices of what the wage glass consume, leaving them in a better net condition than under the ex isting high tariff. As an expedient of partisan electioneer ing, this ODe-sided presentation of an im portant national issue is nothing very re markable. It was well adapted for a po litical end, and it will probably change far more votes than any other plea pat forth daring the canvass. The thing mon strously discreditable is the way in which this pretense has b«en met by the oppo site party, which by all its traditions and antecedents is, if auything, in the most pronounced opposition to excessive im port duties.. Instead of meeting the plea on its merits, by showing that, while their op ponents favored high wages as a conse quence of high duties and high prices, they favored cheapness with low hut re munerative wages, they have tacitly con ceded the / oqe-sided argument of the other side and contemptibly turned their back on their principles by pretending that they have hot made free trade an is sue in the election. Such a shameless recreancy to party principles has nev er been exhibited iu the whole history of our political contests. It is not merely that a Senator, deemed worthy of nomination for the Presidency, has spoken mincing words to propitiate protectionists, nor that prominent party organs and party leaders have shirked the issue and slunk away from their standard, bat their candidate for the Presidency has belied his party’s platform and its imme morial policy by declaring, in response to a local clamor, that he virtually favors protection as much as the rival candi date. A party whose spokesmen can thus abjure its fundamental principles, in the face of a contest that boldly chal lenges those principles, has sunk to the last stage of demoralization aud declared itself unfit to be intrusted with the repre sentation of any great issue in national politics. It is the last overt act needed to demonstrate how utterly that party has lost respect for its most cherished tradi tions and how imperative the necessity is that public opinion should he represented hi a reconstruction of parties. This state of facts shows clearly enough that the time has not come for a “read justment of tariff duties,” except with the idea of making them more exorbitant. But the country “is great and productive,” and affairs may run on until the people are able to learn experimentally that the practice of collecting five dollars of bounty money for every one for revenue is not a paying one, and wores very grievously on the general labor interests of the country. Old Cambridge. Cambridge, the seat of Harvard Univer sity, some two or three miles from Bos ton, will hold the 250th anniversary of her settlement in 1630, Eext December. The literati of the university had prepared (pr thought they had prepared) for this occasion, as one of the entertainments, a representation of the Greek tragedy of “CEdipus Tyrannus,” more or less famil iar to the school boys, and it was to be represented with singular grandeur and fidelity to the ancient Greek costumes and scenery. In short, it was to be pro duced without regard.to labor or expense. Bat the truth must be told. Certain Ger man crirics and proficients happened to hear a rehearsal, and were taken very ill with disgust. This coming to the ears of Boston, a social meeting of the Sanhedrim of the Mutual Admiration Society and the Sen ate of the Republic of Letters was called, Which by a concurrent resolution adjourn ed the performance to some date next July, and meanwhile will send to the original Cambridge, Oxford, and the lead ing German universities, for somebody to teach tbe boys how to talk Greek. The girls of the Hub, who do all their ordinary household gossip in Greek and Latin, have become so scandalized about this matter-tbat they threaten to take the performance into their own hands, aud they say at any rate, a single false pro nunciation or “quantity,” particularly if there’s a taint of whisky in it, shall be Altai to any young player. Tbe Boston Herald of the 19th gives a three or four column record of the an tiquities of old Cambridge and Harvard University, among which we find the following: About 100 works bear the Cambridge imprint prior to the year 1700, the chief Of which is the Bible translated into the Indian language by John Eliot, a copy of which is now in the library at Harvard College, the following being a transcript of the title page: Mamufie Wunneetupauatamwc UP—B1BLUM GOD Naneefwc nukkone testament Kali work * WCSKU testament Three years were occupied iu the printing of this Bible, one sheet a week passing through the press. Tltere is a story extant that Eliot, in translating the word “church, 1 ’ fell into an error, aud used in every case a word in the Indian dialect which signified “eel-pot,” which, if true, must have given rise to astonish ment to ajl the pious Indians who sough, consolation from the book. ‘ YicioBiq, Killed.—An El Paso dis patch to the Galveston Hews chronicles the death of that Indian freebooter afld piurdererfTictorio. This dispatch says: i Intelligence readied here to-day that the Indian chief Yictoriolias been killed, iandjbflt most of Jiis band has been killed or captured by tbe Mexican general Ter- resjies. On the 14tli the troops overtook and suffounded^tbe Indians, the latter be ing in position upon two hills known as Las .Castiiio, one of which they were forced ^ abandon. On the morning of the loth the fight was renewed, resuhingSn almost tbe complete annihilation of the whole party. Chief Yictorio, 50 warriors aud 18 women and children were killed, seven women and children were taken prisoners, and 250 head of horses and mules recaptnred. x The Mexican loss was three killed and three wounded, sliowiug that the Indians were almost entirely des titute of ammunition. 'Within the past year Yictorio and his band have murdered upward of 400 persons. The Women’s Bank Failure in Bos ton.—A dispatch from Boston dated Oc tober 16th, says that in the case of Mrs. Sarah E. Howe bail has been fixed at $20,000, and $10,000 is required as su rety for Julia Gould. The women are in jail, and there is no prospect of them ob taining bondsmen to-night. Mrs. Howe stated to a reporter' to-night that she was wholly innocent of any wrong doing; that she was in the employ of a number of wealthy men, and that the whole truth would soon come out. It is estimated to-night that the liabilities of the bank will reach fully half a million dollars, the losses being divided among a large number of poor women.

A. 3L Lawton. laKutU Cbrjr iclt sue Cons nationalist. 1 The editorial correspondence of the Chronicle and Constitutionalist, dated Atlanta, February 1,1876, contained the following reference to General A. R. Law- ton, then a member of the House from Chatham. We take great pleasure in re producing this notice of General Lawton in the columns of the Chronicle and Con stitutionalist: “General Lawton, whose convictions last year were against a convention on tbe ground of expediency alone, opposed the compromise. He is one of the purest and ablest men in the State, and I could say with truth in the South. There is noth ing small in the man. He has neither egotism nor pomposity, neither assuoiacy nor servility. Firm in his.convictions, he is candid in the expression of his opinions andj always courteous and dignified. A gentleman of the most liberal culture and of tbe highest legal attainments he stands to-day the peer ol any man in Geor gia. There is nothing negative about him. His views on ail ques tions are broad and national, and are ex pressed with precision, force and elegance which always command respect, and never fail of the impression that he is a man of great character, of spotless integrity and of superior ability. He is no! only a pa triot, but a statesman—a man who has never sought office, but one who would do honor to Georgia, either as her chief exec utive officer or as one of her representa tives in the Senate of the United States. I have deemed this due to the exalted character of the distinguished member from Chatham. To him is due the eredit of the measure which harmonized the conflicting vi<*ws of the friends of the convention. With such men in a conven tion to frame the organic law, the people need have no apprehension as to the re sult. The rights of all persons will be preserved under the new constitution, and the best interests of the State will be sub served.” We do not know that we could add anything new to these opinions expressed in 1876. They were intended to cover the whole ground of admiration for Gen eral Lawton. We know for certain that time has strengthened onr convictions and that nothing can be taken away in eulogy. General Lawton is a man of growth and, as sneh, his mental and moral stature has advanced since 1876. He has been popularly mentioned for the benatorship of this State to succeed Gen eral Gordon, and in this noble ambition we heartily second what we deem to be a genuine voice of the people. Like General Hancock, General Lawton is a spotless character. He cannot be success fully assailed individually orprofessional- ly. He has ever be true to himself, his people and his Maker. His ideal is a lofty one and will always be so. He has been tried in many ways and found faithful in all. He has been wise in peace and valiant in war. He has ever preferred principle to selfish gain, and has never deserted his fellow-citizens in an extremity for his own peculiar usu fruct. True to them in past misfortune, he will not forsake them should a dark dp.y come again. He does not promise in credible advantages if the Senatorship should fall to his lot, but he may be de pended upon to illustrate the common wealth with dignity and talent and secure for her all that the law allows and that personal influence can compass. The Tit mouse art of giving everything to every body, by proclamation or resolution, is easy of accomplishment on paper; it is difficult to bring to pass in Congress. We have no doubt that, if elected to the Sen ate, Genera! Lawton will, in every way, be acceptable to the whole people and that they will be proud of him. He represents the spirit of conciliation and not antagonism. He is equipped to meet in debate the best of his opponents. No scandal will ever attach to his name. The practicality of his career is only matched by the chivalry of his soul. He combines the sound sense of the North with the high spirit of the South. Noth ing is more attractive, winning and influ ential at Washington than such a comtii- natiou of intellectual aud moral qualities. Wc may be sure that on the graud arena of the Senate he will hold no second place and that he will stand among the fore most of his peers. Georgia could have no worthier, purer, abler Senator, nor one who, faithful to the glories of the past, is So admirably endowed to sustain the greater aspirations of the future. The ice being thus broken, the Savan nah Hews followed in an article Monday, in which General Lawton is strongly indorsed. We copy’the article as fel lows: We have not allnded editorially to the election of a United States Senator to fill the vacancy occasioned by the resignation of General Gordon, mainly for the reason that we have not considered it a legitir mate subject for newspaper discussion. There are also other reasons that have in clined us to avoid agitation of the sub ject, and *o leave the decision of the matter where it properly belongs, with the representatives of the people. The gubernatorial canvass just closed was dis tinguished above all others in the po litical history of our State, by the per sonalism in it, and if the overwhelming verdict of the people sustain ing Governor Colquitt against the assaults oi his opponents did not conclude the Senatorial succession, it certainly transferred it from the arena of popular debate to the conscientious judg ment of the Senatorial constituency, the Senate and House of Representatives. With this view of the matter we have felt disinclined to agitate a question so purely personal, and however decided onr prefer ences, however much we could desire un der other circumstances to urge the claims of onr city and section, we have refrained from discussing a question on which the time for argument is passed, and the-agi- taiion of which, partaking as it must of the spirit of the late canvass, white it could avail nothing, would be likely to create new antagonisms and arouse latent prejudices, prejudicial to the general wel fare. Bo much iu explanation of our coarse in reference to the Senatorial suc cession. In another column wc print an article from the Augusta Chronicle and Consti tutionalist, in which the qualifications and merits of our distinguished fellow-citizen, Gen. A. R. Lawton, are presented in con nection with his candidacy for United States Senator. We most heartily and un reservedly indorse the just encomiums of our Augusta contemporary, whose tribute to Gen. Lawton’s ability, integrity and {exalted character will be echoed by all who know him, while his election to fill the noble seat of Gordon would be hailed with hearty applause by thousands in all 'sections of the State. In the words of the Chronicle, “Georgia could have no worth ier, purer, abler Senator, nor one who, faithful io the glories of the past, is so ad mirably endowed to sustain the greater ions of the future.” Cot Hardeman's Appeal. I Editors Telegraph and Messenger:— 1 have read notWng in a long time that has given me more real satisfaction than was afforded by the eloquent ar ticle by our gallant townsman, Colonel Thomas Hardeman,in yourpaper of Tues day morning. Like everything which em anates from his tongue orpen, it has the air of true chivalry; and this, coming as it does just after a hotly cor ducted campaign, il lustrates the man in his highest nobility. When the Atlanta convention adjourn ed, I was not In the State. Before it met I was a Hardeman roan. 1 believed then as I believe now, that something was due him, and trusted that.the convention would, in recognition of his many and self-sacrificing services, select him as the Mjndard-bearer of the Democracy in the ^bematorial contest. But learning from persons on the cars that the convention had adjourned without such selection, and indeed without any selection at all, I quietly made up my mind to vote for Gov. Colquitt. This I did, and am proud of it. There being no nomination, of course voters were free to choose between Gov ernor Colquitt and Mr. Norwood, or “any other man.” I presume It did not take others much longer to make a decision than it did me. Mr. Norwood, who was not eve r thought of for the position, at once took the stump; Mr. Lester and Judge Warner, whose names were in nomination, sided with Mr. Norwood, and made speeches, as did Gen. Gartreli; but Colonel Hfwdeman, the strongest man there, next to the Governor, aud whose claims even his most determined opponents respected, catac home and held aloof from a wrangle which he believed would .result in divid ing the party. He could not consistently after his criticisms of the Governor’s ad ministration support Colqnitt, and while he may have sympathized with Norwood, he loved his party, and cherished its grand history with too much sincerity to go into a fight on a hopeless issue. The result of that contest is a matter of history. Its effects are yet to be seen. But Hardeman speaks now, and his ef fort Is, as It always has been, in the inter est of peace and unity among the Deino- craticparty of Georgia. The letter before me is one of his ablest productions. It succinctly states the case, and sets it be fore the public in a manner. to challenge admiration and command respect. It is worthy its author. Col. Hardeman’s ideas and suggestions are “like apples of gold in pictures of sil ver.” He counsel^ the majority to be satis fied with the victory it has won, and let the minority submit gracefully to the mandate of the people, “but with moder ation and in a spirit of unity and brother hood proceed to heal the breach in our ranks.” This is the general tone and tenor of his admirable letter. Once more. Read and ponder the clos ing sentences of his eloquent appeal. It is not the voice of the .politician, but the exalted spirit of patriotism that, rising above the prejudices of the hour, comes, like the genius of peace, to unite a divided people. Nor will his labors be in vain. Surely the demon of discord wiil disap pear, and Hardeman’s sounding peals, ringing over hill and dale, will call to gether those who supported Norwood and Colquitt, and Lester and Warner, and Hardeman and Gartreli. I can see ho earthly reason why all can not unite in solid mass, and in November show to the world that while we may di vide on local matters we are solid on all national questions. Indiana has apparently gone after strange gods, and' Ohio is joined to her idols, but dear olu Georgia must remain true and firm to the principles of the founders of the government. If the past can be buried, and Hardeman’s counsels are heeded, we shall roll up such a major ity for Hancock and English as has never before been obtained for any local or na tional candidate. Then, with a shout of victory, let all true Democrats resolve to “take a puli, a strong pull and a pull al together,” for Democratic success. Macon, Ga., Oct. 20,1SS0. J. H. S The Czar’s New Wife. A St. Petersburg special to the New York Herald says: Though many ru mors repecting the Czar’s marriage have spread abroad, I can vouch for the follow ing: “On the 19th (old style) the mar riage with the Princess Doigorouki was solemnized in the chapel of the Imperial Palace. The Czar’s family disapproving, the Czarewitch went to Uapsal, on the Esthonian coast. The Grand Dukes Con stantine and Wladimar went abroad in order that they might not witness the ceremony. The marriage was very pri vate. The Grand Duke Nicholas and the minister of war were, however, present. The newly-married pair are with the bride’s family in Livadia. The Czar has purchased for his consort the palace of the Grand Duchess Cartbanna, paying two million roubles as the price of it. The Emperor Alexander had been in love with the Princess Doigorouki for more thau twelve years. He first met her at the residence of her sister-in-law, the Princess Dolgorouki-Yulcano, a most hon orable Neapolitan. Struck with the grace of the Princess Catherine, a blonde of charming simplicity and great beauty, the Emperor declared his love, and the ’affair soon became the talk of St. Petersburg. He estabiisned her in apartments on the English quay; aud here he has visited al most daily tor the past ten years to seek solace in her society from the cares and worries of state affairs. The Princess Doigorouki has given birth to several children, all of them being authorized by Imperial ukase to bear the titles of Count and Countess de Gourine, the name of an extinct branch of the Roumanofis. The Princess followed the Emperor to the banks of the Danube, under the name of Mme. Rilejer, during tne late war with Turkey. Of course, the Empress knew all about it, but her malady and the coldness of her nature caused her to shat her eyes to the real state of the case. But when the Czar desired to legitimize the Princess’ children the Empress, the Czarewitch and the Graud Dukes de clined to accede. The Czarina deter mined to leave Russia and find at Cannes a refuge from the insult offered her. The Czarewitch avoided the Winter Palace as much as possible. The influence of the Princess Doigorouki grew daily stronger in the Czar’s household. The Emperor yielded so completely to its fascination that he even showed anxiety to obtain a divorce from the Empress and to marry the Princess. Now that the marriage is accomplished, it is almost certainly of the kind known as “morganatic,” m which the bride stipulates that she and her chil dren will neither assume the rank nor in herit the possessions of the husband. These alliances are notrover frequent, but the Europe Diplomatique occasionally furnishes us with a fist of such marri&aes entered into by princes of the royal houses of Europe. Besides Victor Emmanuel, Leopold L of Belgium and Frederick VH. of Denmark, the latest fist embraces some fifteen princes’ names, a large majority of whom belong to the reigning houses of Germany and Austria. The Buffalo Courier, commenting up on a recent remark of the New York Evening Post that “ there will ho a hot fight in New York and neighboring States, and these are too uncertain as a rule to make trifling at all safe in the remaining three weeks,” says: There will certainly be a hot fight, but not only in New York and neighboring States, but on the whole line. While New York, New Jersey and Connecticut, in addition to the Southern rotes, will give us not only the requisite majority, but three electoral votes over and above ii, we claim that Indiana is more than a debata ble, is in point of fact a probable Demo cratic State in the November contest. The small Republican majority m Indiana, which there is the best reason to believe is the result of corruption and fraud, can he overcome next month. There exists no local opposition against Hancock as there was against Landers. Onr Presidential candidate is heartily supported by every Democrat and by a good many voters who are not Democrats. To the Republicans who count on Indiana for Garfield there Will be an extraordinary surprise in store. Those who doubt that New Yoik is still a Democratic State will also find themselves greatly surprised, and a similar sensa tion awaits those who boldly claim Con necticut and New Jersey for the Credit Mobilier ticket. Marching with these States, in the Democratic column, we ex pect to find others which have been Re publican for twenty years, hut will aid in blasting the October hopes of Garfield and his friends in the ‘melancholy days of No vember.* ” Who Are to Take Charge.—A Washington telegram to the New York Sun says: The Grant Republicans here make no secret of their expectations. They say that they wifi own Garfield if he is elect ed, tha: lhe anti-Grant Republicans had to confess their inability to succeed after the Maine election, and that it was only by the presence of Grant, Conkling, Cam eron and Logan in Ohio and Indiana that those States were saved to the Republi cans. "They boast, moreover, that the In diana campaign was managed exclusively by Grant men—New, Dorsey and Gor ham. Evarts, Sherman and Schurz, they say, will have to walk the plank after the 4th of March next, and retire to private life. The cabinet, they boast, will be Grant throughout, and none but the Old Guard will have positions of importance and 1 influence at home. All those who have given it a trial wifi nut be without it.

They have been welcomed to the hospitable homes of the Atfantese, feasted, feted, lionized, and fought in the very best spirit. These representative men of other States wiil return home more impressed than ever with tbe fact that the war is in deed over, and ali are now marching once more under the broad folds of the Star Spangled banner, and “keeping step to the music of the Union.” The Southern braves are magnificent lighters and hearty haters.. But when they had tried conclusions, and, after ex-, hibiting feats of prowess worthy of the paladins of old, were vanquished by supe rior numbers and material resources, hav ing surrendered, they accept the situation in good faith, and are willing now to bury the past, and fraternize with former ene mies, and ali the citizens of onr common country. It wiil require very few such illustra tions as that afforded at Atlanta, and which Macon stands ready to endorse and repeat, to convince even the erstwhile prejudiced people of New Eng land that there is no- bloody shirt at' the South, and peace, good will to all sections, and perfect harmony reign supreme in our midst. These practical reunions of the men of the North, East, West and Sooth, are worth more than a thousand speeches, or hundreds of vol umes written on the subject ol amnesty and pacification. The Constitution gives the following graphic account of the sham fight: About I o’clock the companies compos ing the two armies marched in upon the plaza. The banners waved, the bands screamed, the mighty throngs shouted a glad welcome, and preparation for the conflict was at once entered upon. One army n presented the British, the other the Americans. The British was made up of the Atlanta Grays, Richland Rifles, of Columbia, S. C., Rockford Rifles, Rock ford, 111., and a battery ot the Fifth Artillery. Captain Joseph Burke, of the Gate City Guard, was the commander of the British. The American army was composed of the Gate City Guard, the Sherman Cadets, of Lawrence, Mass., the Janesville Guards, Janesville, Wis., and the Mobile Rifles, of Mobile, Ala. The Americans were commanded by Cap tain L. N. DuCbesney, of the Sherman Cadets. The battle was fought as follows: The British army, after many hours of marching, halted midway the plaza to rest. The Atlanta Grays occupied the right, the Richland Rifles the centre and the Rock ford Rifles the left. The Filth Artil lery were a few paces to the rear of the line, which faced the west. The arms ol the British were stacked, the men had broken ranks and were taking it easy, while the officers had gathered in a group some distance to the rear for consulta tion. The American army was not in sight. Yery soon, however, a line of its skirmishers appeared on the west end of the plaza, and at once began firing upon the British, whereupon the British officers rushed to the front, formed their men in fine of battle and opened a heavy fire up on the skirmishers, driving them rapidly back, the battery of artillery quickly tak ing position to the left ot the British line and opening upon the retreating skirmish ers. The American army now adranced from its ambusli in the rear of the amphi theatre at the west end of the plaza and began firing upon the advancing Brit ish. The Sherman Cadets were the centre, the Janesville Gaards the left center and the Mobile Rifles the left. The firing had become general and the British were steadily gaining upon their foes when the Gate City Guard sud denly appeared upon the extreme right of the American forces and began a quick flank movement which threatened for time to cut oil'the Fifth Artillery from the British army. The artillery, seeing the danger, beat a hasty but admirable re treat, while the British infantry were compelled to fall back to cover the bat tery, which they did in splendid style, fir ing the whole time. When abreast of the battery it opened again, and once more the battle became general, the Gate City Guard enfilading the battery most hand somely, and steadily renewing their at tempt at flanking. Af thfa juucture* the American army,* led by the Sherman Cadets, made a" most brilliant charge, and for a few moments the firing was kept up in a most deadly manner. Simultaneously, the flank move ment of the Gate City Guard, who kept up steady firing, became boldly defined— the battery swiftly took the back track, and the British infantry, still hotly press ed by the Americans retreated in great con fusion, as if in pursuit of their flying bat tery. The Americans pressed right on, the Sherman Cadets slightly leading the wings and presenting a solid front, and pouring volley after volley into the ske daddling squadrons of the routed British. At length the Fifth Artillery gained the kill back of Machinery Hall and quickly faced about. A moment more and the British infantiy came to a halt on the hillside in front of their battery and made wild efforts to form a new fine of battle, A gun from the battery was rushed to the front to cover them, but it was too fate. The Ameri cans charged right up the hillside, flanked the gun, throwing their forces about it in the form of a half circle, and the British army surrendered. Thus ended the spirited and exciting conflict amid the shouts of the thousands upon thousands of delighted spectators, who dotted the very battle ground, densely fringed the race course, swarmed upon the bluffs overlooking the plaza, crowded the im mense amphitheatre, and even peeped out upon the inspiring scene from the treetops .commanding a view of the grounds. The whole battle passed off most brilliantly. It waa directed by General Hunt who aat in the judges’ stand and kept his couriers busy carrying orders throughout the fight. Fatal Railway Collision. Raleigh, N. C., October 21.—An ac cident on the Raleigh & Gaston Railroad occurred early yesterday morning at Youngsville, twenty-one miies from Ra leigh. A local freight train and au ex cursion train collided, the fatter hav ing six hundred excursionists on hoard. Of these one was killed outright, and fif teen wounded. Two of the latter died soon after. The names of the dead are Brack Green, Ashley Radford and Duffy Periy> all colored. The injuries of the others are not now thought to be fatal. . _The wounded were nearly all on the platform of one car which was telescoped, Trains north and south were blocked, but the road was cleared at nightfall. The conductor,. Wm. H. Thompson, and engineer, W. A. Prince, of the freight tra’m were arrested, but gave bail.. The majority of the injured people are colored, and live in Franklin county.

The rJd°Lv? r ' Pler “ 13 familiar to the ears of Columbus people, old andyoune. This city was long his cherished home; for Co- • lumbns he had an undying affection. Nearly a year ago his venerated form was jafelnjttfrdfr cemetery, His brethren of the South Geoigi* conference resolved to erect a monument to Lis memory, and appointed a committee to direct as to puns, ways and means. Rev. J. O. A. Cook, of the St.* Luke church, Is one of that committee. What the writer is now doing is with his sanction and his advice. The committee resolved to build the mon ument on the beautiful lot of St. Luke church, a most appropriate place in every view. An appeal was made to the public long ago for contributions to erect this projected monument. The committee hoped there would be a spontaneous re sponse by his numerous friends through- out Georgia (and elsewhere) to this ap- pcal.^ No public collection was to be ta- ken, it was supposed this would be unneces sary, as the structure would not be of great cost. Small sums given from so many would amply meet the demand, and this might be expected without solici tation. So far S3 Columbus is concerned, I re gret to say, this hope has not been realized. Probably less has been done elsewhere. Yery naturally, it would be expected for Columbus to take the lead for obvious rea sons, but chiefly because the doctor lived here, and is buried here, and here his monument is to be reared. Our young people and a few others have given for this object something less than one hun dred dollars. This amount has been made by trifling contributions, and without can vassing. But the time has come when ac tion ought to be taken equal to the need. Most people will help, but they wait to be asked. Everybody venerated this gifted and saintly man in fife, and surely none would object to aid in buildiLg a monu ment as a lasting testimonial of affection and admiration. The committee have not planned an ex pensive work—they will build according to the money. Dr. Pierce is worthy of a pyramid for a monument; let the struct ure at least be worthy of Columbus, if not of the great and good man. Mr. J. A. Bradford, of St. Luke’s church, and A. C. Flewellen, of St. Paul, have been ap pointed to canvass the city in this matter, and they have agreed to act.- Large sums are not asked, though they would be thankfully received. A handsome amount can be raised if every one asked should* respond even with a small gift. Money may be paid to either of these gentlemen or to Mr. Binford, or to Rev. J. O. A. Cook. J. W.

' Who has the uldest joible ix Vir ginia?—There is in the possession of a collateral relation of the illustrious Thom as Jefferson, a Bible printed at Cam bridge, England, in 1668. A concordance is annexed^ printed by John Field, prin ter to the University. A signet of Cam bridge University is inserted, representing a nymph behind an altar with uplifted hands, one containing a goblet, the other a representation of the sun. Inscribed on it arc tbe words, “Ahna Mater,” “Canta- brigia,” and “Hi'nc lucem el pocula sac ra.” In it is the family register of births aud marriages. The first birth Is that of Juditb, daughter of Thomas and Mary Jefferson, bom August 30, 1098. One entry is, “The soul of my dear brotfi- er, Thomas Jeffeison, departed this fife Febn a y 14, 1723, he being on voyage on . board of the "Williams burg, Captain Isbam Randolph, com mander, to Viiginia.” These entries con tinue through the eighteenth century do vn to late in this one. The paper is rough bat suDstantial as is the print; tbe ink, though two hundred and twelve years old, much more distinct than most of our new books, and vastly more so than the modem newspapers. This Bible has es caped the perils of fire and hook worms of every denomination. It has been tossed about in many removals from place to place and from distant countries. The Thomas Jefferson mentioned above is be lieved to have been nephew to the ex- President. The family very justly prize this Bible, now so long and sacredly asso ciated with it, and is owned by one of them, living near to Whittle’s station on the Mildand railroad.

The Havoc Wrought by ax Insect tS THE VlXEYARDS OF FrAXCB.—The destruction of its vineyards is thus dis cussed in the annual industrial report of France: The phylloxera vastatrfx is a microscop ic insect that stings the root and kills it, find finally destroys the vine. Sulpho- 1 carbonates, introduced among the roots, kill the insects, hut other insects come. Submersion, where water is accessible, does the same. Fifty districts in France are already ruiDcd, and every year adds to the list. Unless some efleciive remedy be found, France will, in a time not re mote, cease to be a wine country. Our prosperity cannot be assured unless onr wine men plant new stock, known to have vigor to resist the fatal puncture of the destroyer, and unless our fine French jrjnes can be preserved by grafting on- the healthy stocks. Twenty years ago Amer ican cuttings were sent to France from a nursery iu Georgia. There were many varieties. Hundreds of thou sands of vines are now grow ing from these ' cuttings. These vines may be recognized in vineyards stricken with the disease by the.r being in full vigor. This gives satisfactory proof that American vines can be got that will re sist the phylloxera. Here aud there an American vine is found punctated, taut never to the heart of the root. The su perficial wound heals and leaves no im pression on the plant. But grafting re quires nice manipulation, and many "fear the expense and liability to fathire. This has led to the discovery of a simpler, bet ter way to attain the same object. Take a French and American cutting, each hav ing five buds, unite them at the third bud, tie them together and so plant them. They wiil so assimilate that the twain be- como one by blending the gap of their roots. The plant is thus invested with American vigor aud French nature.” We remember to have heard Mr. Berck- mans the renowned horticulturist and fruit grower of Augusta, say that some years ago he had shipped, if we mistake not, a whole vessel load of grape cuttings from this country to France, and in every instance they had resisted the inroads of the phylloxera insect and flourished with the greatest vigor on European soil. This fullv corroborates the statement made in the above report. All should recollect that with the low of health, loss of enjoyment and happi ness soon follows.
