A very singular book has just been
published in Germany. It purports to be
written by a lady to whom old King Leo
pold of Belgium was married secretly
about 1827, on the condition that if he
were called to a throne the marriage
should be considered null and void. To
this the lady consented; but she now not on

count of the transaction, and of her mar

The Nashville American says: The
Southern pe;ple have at last reached a

jus: died at any other period, a feeling
that the conutry may destroy any party

ed by the American people to destroy the
country'* This is an excellent frame of
zalud lor men who havo to engage in bus

succeed. They can go on with confidence,
and come up to the next political conflict
undismayed by past defeat.
The Dean of Cologne Cathedral open

“May the longed for day dawn which

give to the completed cathedral its pastor.”
The Kaiser entirely ignored the references
to Archbishop Melchois, one of Bismarck’s
first victims, who has now been for years
in exile and ruined by the fines Bismarck
has inflicted on him. The Prince was
conspicuously absent at the ceremony.
Gen. Rather, President of the Senate,
says the Montgomery'Advertiser, is a son
of Capt. John T. Bather, one of the old
Indian fighters of the State, and in the
early days of Alabama, one of her lead

in both houses. He was frequently cal led
to the chair, and was counted one of
the best presiding officers of his day. He
still lingers on the “shores of time” and
was lately at the reunion of the old men
of North Alabama at Decatur—among
whom he and ex-Govemor Reuben Chap
man were conspicuous for their ages and
reminiscences.
The Nashville American says later re

between the solid interests of all the eoun

Cameron and Logan. For days it was
uncertain how the Senate would be, and
few, perhaps appreciated the danger to all
the interests of the South during that time.

The Solid Sections.
Senator Hill’s Letter to Mb. Chit
tenden
Although a geographical division of the
country bn the choice of parties and men
has an unpromising aspect for general
harmony, yet the danger Is more appar
ent than real. We do not share, to any
great extent, in the alarm manifested by
Senator Hill. The Southern States did
once, under an overwhelming impression
of the claims of self-defense and self-pres
ervation, assume an attitude of quasi hos
tility to the federal government, but they
Kill never do it again. Nor will they aid
or abet in any proceedings that can con
duce to such a result. The Southern
States, we dare assert, on principle will
never be concerned in any scheme to put
in a Preside t by fraud, tactics and strat
egy, as Mr. Hayes was put in—and as
some sore-head Northern Democraticpar
tisans are now represented to be feeling
aronnd for a chance to put Hancock in
ag: inst his will and protest,
Now, if the Southern States have no
other power or influence in the iederal
government, they certainly have this:
the power to expose and resist fraud—the
power to prevent mischief; and well do
they know that whenever tiie devil of
civil strife is again let loose in this coun
try, they will be the victims. Their con
dition is friendless and defenseless. Their
feebleness invites assault. Their only
chance to escape violence is to maintaio
the ascendancy of law aud order at all
sacrifices.
It was this view of the situation that
induced the Southern States, in effect, to
back the Hayes usurpation by an unflinch
ing adherence to the electoral commission
scheme. They saw that Iiayes was to he
backed by the whole financial and physi
cal power of the United States govern
ment, and that they were to he the
predestined victims. Having been once in
arms against the government a repetition
of that attitude, for any cause, would have
led to their extinction. They were disa
bled for resistance, and their country
would have been the theatre of any war
which the other sections were only too
ready to undertake; aud the government
would have devoted them to final destruc
tion, without a sigh or regret.
It is the fashion of the North to treat
us as children; but it is a comparatively
nets fashion. Two or three decades ago
the complaint was that these Southern
politicians knew too much. That they bad
the art of wielding an altogether undue
power in the national counsels, and only
the negative virtue of honesty. They did
not steal. But the South has sense enough
left to comprehend the situation
The election of Hancock would have
benefited us in no material particular, ex
cept as It benefited every section of the
common country,by giving it a government
liberated from those sinister ends and
objects which have become inherent in
the so-called Republican organization.
We promised ourselves an administration
free from sectional distrust and animosity
—unpledged to any schemes of succession
or plots agaiut civil liberty; but so far as
the predominant influence of the sections
w as concerned, no sensible Southern man
looked for any material change. The
election of Garfield renews the force and
severity of sectional repression so far os
his administration is controlled by the
Grant and Comcling faction, but many in
fluences may spring up to check this
natural bias.
The truth is, contrary to the sugges
tions of toe Chittenden letter, the South
ern States will now need more than ever
a perfect union of the intelligent mind of
the country, in order to maintain that
cautious self-possession indispensable to
wise and well-considered action, so as to
give the least possible ground to the as
saults upon os. It is only when well or
ganized as a party that the inflammable
youngsters can be held in check, and the
wise, thoughtful and patriotic can hold
control.
Can any man imagine a state of affairs
so undesirable and dangerous,so enfeebling
and fatal to the South, as such a wide
spread division among the whites asshould
leave the determination of the public
counsels to the result of a scramble among
the negroes? Yet this is the alternative
we must contemplate. This, from present
indications, we are in danger of lapsing
into.
It is really little to us, whether we arc
ruled by Northern Republicans or North-
A Gigantic Speculation
Phil Armour and his Milwaukee part
ner, John Pianklngton, succeeded, by
dexterous comer of the pork market In
Europe, in making seven millions of dol
lars. They spent two months on the
western continent, and daring that time
purchased In American markets 60,000,000
pounds of clear rib bacon, at less than 4}
cents per pound, and 150,000 barrels of
pork, at an average of only $8 per barrel
From this venture they realized $2,000,-
000. Several months afterwards a reac
tion In meats took place, and they lost all
of their gains and a million more besides
Nothing daunted, they sent their agents
again to Europe, and finding there would
be a strong demand for pork for some
months to come, began in April, 1879, to
buy all that was offered In the American
market. This amounted to 325,000 bar
rels, wtich was secured at an average of
about $10 per barrel. Besides this, they
bought options on 1,250,000 barrels more,
and rested. The sequel is thus described
by the Baltimore Sun:
“They took occasion to let everybody
know that they had all the pork in exist-
ence and a great deal more. The manip
ulators had laid their plans to force the
price up to $20, but they wanted it to go
up gradually. But when it became appa
rent to the traders and speculators that
great bull movement was on foot, prices
were run up with such rapidity that it
was feared the effect would frighten off
the ‘shorts’ and induce them to settle too
early. To prevent such a move the Ar
mours threw nearly a half million barrels
on the market, aud this served to check
the boom and keep it within their control,
and at the same time produce the impres
sion that they could not or did not carrv
out their published programme of forcing
quotations to $20. Operations were not
alone confined to America, but all of Eu
rope was taken in, and wherever men
were found willing to sell pork they did
not have, the Armours were accommodat
ing. They knew that they held all the
pork and that those who had sold them
the article would havo to come to them
for it, or settle the differences. Tha
amount of money placed against ibis game
was enormous. In striking the balance
tiie lucky owners of the “brace” find that
they have made not less than $7,000,000,
In other words they got back the $3,000,-
000 lost when pork went down last win
ter, and $4,000,000 besides. The Wall
street dealers feel as hard as their West
ern brethren in misfortune, and a vast
sum of New York money is placed to the
credit of the Chicago “bulla.”
It is in this manner that the daring firm
of Annour & Co., literally raided an im
mense fortune out of pork eating Chris
tendom. Hereafter, we may continue to
look for “corners,” as the opportunity
aflorded to speculators, in flour, sugar,
grain, and the other necessaries of life.
It is by such means that capital manifests
its might, and the poor consumer is pow
erless to contend against it.
The Exodus of the Chinese.
It is announced that, either from fright
or some other cause, the Chinamen of
California are flocking homeward in
crowds. Six hundred left San Francisco
in the steamer of the 4th instant, aud os
many more have engaged passage by the
next steamer. Great rejoicing is express
ed at their departure. Two causes are
given for this exodus, viz., the “unfriend
ly attitude of the American people” and
the alleged construction of “extensive
public improvements' in China which will
afford them profitable employment at
home. The first reason, however, Is be
lieved to be the correct one.
Of late, several outrages have been per
petrated upon these unoffending foreigners
in various portions of the country, and it
cannot be denied that the attitude of both
of the great political parties In tho late
presidential contest was hostile to the
poor Chinese. At the South only has any
sympathy been expressed for them, which
in Louisiana has taken the tangible shape
of a proposition for the importation of
large number of Coolies from the West
Indies. This attempt, however, will prob
ably he frustrated by the heavy charges
imposed by the Cuban authorities in the
way of passports, etc., which are designed
purposely to arrest the movement. Our
people have never antagonized with the
Asiatics, but would welcome a goodly
number of them here to eke out the labor
of tho plantation. It is from the manu
facturing classes of the North and West
that the principal opposition comes,
Apropos to this, the New York Bulletin

to catch a few public crumbs which fall

Our own politics in Georgia, are appa
rently in a very unsettled and transition
state. To Illustrate: In his appeal to the
people for election to the United States
Senate, some months ago, the most
weighty argument presented by Governor
Brown was his ability and success in pro
curing appropriations for internal im
provements from the general government.
Immense sums were yearly voted for this
purpose by Congress, of which Geoigia,
'by her own indifference and neglect, fail
ed to get her due Bliare. The Govern
or, with evident pride, pointed to his own
efforts after a better pecuniary result, and
dwelt at length on the capital blunder
made by Geoigia hitherto in not being
among the foremost in these raids on the
reasury.
This was Itself significant of a great
change in his own, aud in general public
opinion in Geoigia, on this fundamental
topic. We call it fundamental because it
really lies at the bottom of most of the
abuses of government which old-time
Democrats used to oppose. With broad
cast appropriations for internal improve
ments come the most corrupt usages in
legislation—lobbyism, log-rolling and oth
er nefarious combinations, the effect of
which is to expend the public money
with small regard to the merit of the pro
posed objects—the main thing being to se
cure the expenditure. Then, as a conse
quence of large expenditures, large reve
nues are demanded, which must be real
ized from heavy tarifl taxation, so that on
the government.' Of course they will mo
nopolize the patronage and offices thereof,
and run the machine, as far as possible,
in tbelr own interests.
But the parties are so near equally di
vided, and the political status of both
Houses of Congress is such, that no
extreme partisan measures can be adopt
ed.
While, therefore, the Democrats will
be powerless to continue the work of re
form so happily inaugurated for the past
two years, they may still be able to hold
in check the aggressive and unfriendly
policy of their opponents. Indeed, the
Republicans will he kept upon their good
behavior, and forced to pursue a moderate
and conservative course. No great change
in the present political programme, there
fore, need be feared or anticipated. The
countiy will continue to prosper as here
tofore, and it may turn out in the end that
this almost perfect equipoise between the
two rival parties was in reality more ad
vantageous, at this particular juncture,
than the overwhelming predominance of
either of them. So let the Democracy
take heart and pursue the even tenor of

The Georgia Legislature.
Albeit & majority of the present Liem-
bers of the General Assembly are tyros at
tne business of legislation, yet they are
making very considerable progress in tho
work before them, and we find among the
bills that have been introduced several
that ought to commend themselves to the
support of the whole country. Prominent
among these is the Senate bill of Mr.
Winn, providing for changing the present
method of electing judges of the Snpreme
and Superior Courts and solictors general
by the General Assembly, and returning
to tho old plan of executive appointments,
by and with the advice and consent of the
Senate.

the letter and the transactions
grown out of it are, to say the
most extraordinary character. According
to the testimony of Hart, when he received
the tetter, the very singular manuer in
which it reached him aroused his suspi

ine, as a weapon of deadly power in the
hands of Garfield’s political foes. He was
not satisfied to publish it upon the exami
nation which bis editorial staff could
make, and be therefore took the letter
aud envelope to the Democratic National
Committee for inspection. He there saw
Hewitt, Barnum. Randall and others. He
showed them the paper, and said, in sub

the letter if it was a forgery; but if gen

to get ahead of him in its publication.
He says it was examined by ail the per-

and most careful examination, and spent
fully half au hour in its examination, and
then pronounced the letter, both body
and signature, to be in the handwriting of
Garfield. Photographs were then taken
for the use of the national committee,
and Hart returned with the letter to his
office; but bis mind was not fully satis

Hewitt Writes a Letter.
New York, November 13.—Abram S.
Hewitt has written the following letter
relative to Judge Davis’ opinion in the
Philp case:
New York, November 13.—I have just
read the opinion of Judge Davis in refer
ence to the so-called Morey or Chinese
letter. A considerable portion of his
opinion is devoted to my evidence, given
under oath on subpoena; served upon me
both by the prosecution and the defense.
A judge who sits upon the bench is sup-
(osed to know the evidence which

he should examine it before he under

Hewitt, Baruuni, Randall and others. He
showed them the paper, and said, in sub
stance, that he did not want to publish
the letter if it was a forgery; but If gen
uine, he did, and wanted no other paper
to get ahead of him in Its publication.
He said it was examined by all the per
sons named, hut Hewitt made the closest
and most careful examination, and spent
fully half an hour in its examination, and
then pronounced the letter, both body
and signature, to be in the handwriting of
Garfield. Photographs were then taken
for the use of the national committee
and Hart returned with the letter to his
office; but his mind was not fully satis
fied, and late in the evening he sought
and found Hewitt again, and was again
assured that he (Hewitt) bad exam
ined a large number of Garfield’s letters,
and that the Morey letter was genuine;
and this was clinched by impressing
Hart’s mind with the idea tbat lie vroula
have made it out a forgery if he could.
It is not veiy surprising that Mr. Hart,
with the usual anxiety of newspaper pub
lishers to bo ahead of their neigh
bors, should have published the letter
without further inquiry; hut it is astound
ing that a man of known sagacity, of
great experience in business and in pub
lic affairs, aud who is supposed to have
a decent respect for truth and justice, and
who speaks as an expert iu writing—
with all the suspicious circumstances that
attended the reception of the letter; with
tho envelope with Its erasures before him;
with the city post office and station
stamps on its back; with the letter marked
personal and confidential,’ aud addressed
to some person whom he certainly did not
know; with the letter before him, the con
tents of which, if true, would be greatly
injurious, and If false, would do a wrong
to his intimate friends as base and wicked
as au assasstn’s stab—should have thought
It just to press and cause its publication
without first removing all doubt as to Us
character.”
Now, a simple and unanswerable reply
to all this statement, and the extraordi
nary comments In which Judge Davis has
seen fit to Indulge, is, that the letter had
already been published in Truth before I
had ever seen Hart or the original letter,
or any copy of it. This fact J udge Davis
must have known when he penned toe
above lines, because I had sworn In his
presence—after a cross-examination by
Stoughton, in which Bliss intervened to
verify tho dates—that the interview
with Hart and the examination of
the letter took place on the 20th
of October, after its publication in Truth,
and not before. I do not know whether
Hart made a mistake iu hi3 testimony
a; to the date, but if he did there is not a
possible justification for Judge DavU to
base a statement on tbis mistake in order
to attack from the bench tho character of
a citizen.
To fix the date beyond the possibility
of all controversy, while writing this
statement, I sent a message to
nart to ascertain whether ho had ever
made any declaration at varianco with the
facts as I have stated them. Hart replies
that lie “never had testified or thought
that Hewitt or any one connected with
the National Committee saw the letter in
advance of the publication of the text of
tho letter in Truth, on the 20.h of Octo
ber.”
Now as to the minor assertions contain
od in the above extract. I never pro
nounced the “body and signature” of the
letter to be in the handwriting of General
Garfield. On the contrary, in the presence
of Hart and all the gentlemen present, I
declared the body of the letter not to be
in the handwriting of Garfield, but I be
lieved the signature to be his autograph.
1 do not think that Hart has given any
testimony to the contrary, but If he has
it is an error which can be shown by the
testlmqpy of the gentlemen who were
present.
As to the second interview in the even-
g, it took place after my speech at
Chickering Hall—when I was exhausted.
I took no other part in the discussion but
to reaffirm my belief In the genuineness of

message which the adjutant had to take

come and tell me!” At another time Bern,
giving hisjorders to a Major Mites, said :
“You, niqor, will remain and defend that
position as long as you can ever hang on
to it.” “And when I cannot hang on any
longer, General, what then?” asks! the
