Thirty-four female delegates to the Woman’s Temperance Union occupied Boston pulpits last Monday. Labor numbers of Chinamen are leav ing San Francisco for their native land because of the scarcity of employment for them in that city. • | Miss Martha Newberry, aged 18, in a cotton picking contest with young man, near Centre, last week, picked 290 pounds of cotion inside of ■even hours, beating her competitor _ 25 pounds in the race. The Irish constabulary was for all Irelaud on July 1,1879, 11,159 men and inspectors, leaving 207 vacancies to bring it up to its nominal strength. On June 30,1880, the total strength was 11,448, leaving the number of existing vacancies on that date only 48. That gigantic floa. ing palace, the Li- vadia, made, in passing from Cork to Gi braltar, upwards of seventeen miles an hour, while there was a total absence of any disagreeable motion, the “pitch” be ing but oue degree. This may lead to great change in ship building. Gen. Jules Bergeeet, the originator , of the movement which led to the Com mune in Paris immediately after the Franco-Prussian war, is in this country, lie refused the pardon which was ex tended to the Communists sud left France, after being in exile nine years and spend ing four months in Paris. Secretary Evahts gives so symptoms of demanding satisfaction from either Turkey or Chill, for the recent outrages on the American flag and American citi lens. Republican administrations, as rule, have never lifted a band to protect Americau citizens or the American flag abroad. The sensation in Chicago Sunday was the inauguration of the Rev. Dr. Thomas’ new church. The Doctor’s an diencu was so large that many persons could not gain admittance. This may prove the beginning of a great church, as a large number of Chicagoans arc not Inclined to take their Methodism straight, The Russian ruble Is worth at fall value 75 cents. The paper rubles issued by the Goverment have fallen in value to 48 cents. This is not so bad as was the depression of our own paper money, but it is bad enough to make us pity tiie peo ple who have to bear at the same time the burdeu of war debt and short crops. It is annonneed that Mr. James A. Frazier, rcadjuster, has determined to contest the election ol the Hon. J. Ran dolph Tucker in the sixth Virginia dis trict, on the ground that over sixteen hundred eligible voters were denied the privilege of casting their votes for him But as Mr. Tucker has 4,400 majority it would seem that Mr. Frazier has a poor show for ousting him. Boston is to have a new sewerage sys tem. Low intercepting sewers are to be made along the margins of the city, to re ceive the How from those already existing, and to empty into oue great main sewer, which leads through a pumping station on the coast to Moon Island, in the har bor. Tiie accumulation is at this point to be let out into tiie ocean at the begin- ing of ebb tide. All his life-long Lord Beaconsfleld has been a perfect fop in the matter of dress. Even in his old age he is a dandy all orer, spending two hours of bis precious time every day in having that historical curl on his forehead done up. He wears a pair of fresh lavenders eveiy day, and you never seo him without a beautiful button-hole flower, a faultless necktie, and spotless boots and raiment. 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 ly discloses the fact, but gives a detailed ac count of the transaction, and of her mar ried life with Leopold. The Nashville American says: The Southern pe;ple have at last reached a stale of mind which would not have been jus: died at any other period, a feeling that the conutry may destroy any party which stands athwart the track of its progress; but that no party will he allow ed by the American people to destroy the country'* This is an excellent frame of zalud lor men who havo to engage in bus iness with hope in order that they may 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 ed his address to the Kaiser with the wcnls, “The metropolitan chapter of the cathedral, in the absence of their Arch bishop,’’ and concluded with the words, “May the longed for day dawn which may give peace to the Church, which may 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 ing legislators—having served repeatedly 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 turns from the doubtful districts give as surance that Tennessee will send a Dem ocratic Senator to stand as one of the great and only harrier between the South, between the solid interests of all the eoun try, aud tiie stalwart policy of Conkling, 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. "We were In a ha'.rsbreadtli of a terrible peril.

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 nji:| There is no evidence that the great body if the American people are any more inimical to Chinese immigration than they are to European or any other kind of immigration, and the endeavor to make it „ w appear that they are is an affront to their era Democrats, provided they give us ’ intelligence and good sense.

There are to day, without a doubt, many more Demo crats in the United States than Republi cans; but the latter hi the North and West, being mostly poor, laboring men, are con trolled by influence and money. A fair election between parties would give the Democrats more than a million majority. With the mass of the Northern Repub licans an election is in the nature of moneyed investment. They can wield the government, through its revenues, its subsidies, its internal improvements and Its protective tarifls.to immense pecuniary profit, and they can afford millions to se cure It. But it would be a cowardly be trayal of principle in tho Southern States, which are also very poor, to surrender the political equities of the case, in the hope to catch a few public crumbs which fall from the rich man’s table. This policy of public administration can’t live long. It is rotten. The people can’t be long con trolled to their own wrong and Injury. Stand where we are and await events. A New History of Georgia.—We are-in full accord with Judge Hook's opinions concerning the necessity and im portancc of the Legislature taking some action with reference to the compilation of a full and complete history of our no ble commonwealth from the days of Ogle thorpe to the present period. Singularly enough, outside of two or three imperfect and unfinished works covering only cer tain epochs and passages in the life of tiie State, nothing has been done in that di rection, and Georgia is without a written hlstoiy. As to tiie individual who is sug gested to undertake this arduous and responsible task, the writer, for obvious reasons, will say nothing. Col. C. C.

As to his “cheap labor,” which is the basis of pretty much ail the outcry against him, observation convinces us that It comes not from the American people as such, but from the sand lots lazzaroni of California and the corresponding classes in the Eastern cities. It is not many years ago that there was a not dis similar cry against “cheap German labor” and “cheap Italian labor;’’ aud but for the fact that the Germans and the Italians were quick to sufficiently Identify them selves with the political machine to make it feel their power at tiie polls on election days, it is not at all certain that the ma chine in time would not have crashed them out just as it is now crushing out the Chipaman. German and Italian labor, “cheap” as It is, must be pnt up with without a murmur ‘now, because those nationalities arc become too important a factor in the primaries to be offended by the cry ol’another race that they “must go” Ohioinof the “Adoban Stable.” The term cleansing the “Augean stable” is often used in connection with correct ing tlic corrupti«n and misdoings of any party which may be driven from office. It seems that among tlm mythical ancients Angeas, a son of Sol and JNaupIdomn, King of Elis, was one of-the Argonauts. UiS stable, containing 3,900 head of cattle, lincleansed for thirty years, was cleaned in one day by Hercules, at the command of Eurystheus. The Philadelphia Record, applying the lesson of this fable to the “stable government” established nearly twenty years ago by the Republicans, says “the Democratic Eurystheus will have to wait about ten years longer.

Atlanta, Ga., November 5,1880.—I have known Major John W. Park as member of the legal profession for twenty years or more. It is difficult to over-esti mate his professional ability and attain ments. He is a ripe scholar, and his lcgsl learning is varied and profound. His discriminating capacity is of the highest order, and his powers of analysis or the finest kind. If made an associate justice of tho Supremo Court, I confidently be lieve that bis career will be useful and brilliant. I do not know anyone better fitted by his traits of character and legal acquirements to make'a great and good judge. John S. Biqhy, Ex-Judge S. C. Coweta Circuit.

I have no hesitancy in saytog, aud mean no disparagement to others, that while I presided in the Coweta Circuit I regarded him as the best lawyer that prac ticed before me; and my knowledge of him since warrants me in the declaration, that I still regard him as not only the most eminent lawyer in that circuit, but on • of the most clear-headed and capable in the State. His legal acquirements and clear, keen discrimination fit him, in a marked degree, for the Supreme Bench. His purity of character aim well-defined conceptions of justice, superadiled to the above, should commend him as worthy the support and confidence of the General Assembly. W. F.

A Wholesale Sumptuary Enact ment.—The State ot Kansas has, by a majority of 20,000, adopted the constitu tional amendment prohibiting the manu- facture'and sale of liquors within its bor ders. Commenting upon tills action, tho Philadelphia Record remarks that “this prohibitory legislation will operate as a bar to further German immigration, and it will also repel a large body of thoughtful people, who do not bclievo that statute morality Is ol any considerable value.” How long will It be before the olt-Imparted lesson is learned, that force can avail for naught in promoting either morals or r. liglon ? We shall not he surprised if the sequel develops an unprecedented amount of tippling and crime in Kansas, as the outcome of this constitutional provision, which it would require the entire militia of the State to cany into effect. Education, “lilch will consist of the pub lication and study of the works of Pro fessor Sumner, David A.

An investment of this moderate amount, which will insure a rational politico-economical education, at a time when tho crudest and most self-contradictory heresies have the field, will be money well spent. 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 their way. With the exercise of proper prudence and discretion, we believe that not even Grant and. his myrmidons will be able to prevail against them la 1884. 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.

According to the testimony of Hart, when he received the tetter, the very singular manuer in which it reached him aroused his suspi cious. He saw its importance, if genu 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.

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 las been given by a witness. Certainly he should examine it before he under takes to make statements as to its nature and draw conclusioiis from it. Tbat Judge Davis has not performed ids duty, the fol lowing comparison of his statement with my testimony will serve to prove. Judge Davis says that Hart form.

Bern was the bitterest cuemy Russia ever had, for his whole lire was one struggle to damage the hated Muscovite. A Pole by birth, and, indeed, quite ignorant of the Magyar language, Bern came over the Carpathians and joined the Hungarian army, because at that time Hungaiy happened to be a more advantageous striking-point than Poland to “have at” his old enemies. He would doubtless have become a China man to-day for the same purpose, and gone to Irkutsk to help worry toe troops of the Czar iu the wilds of Central Asian steppes.

The interpreters were more than once killed in the th.ck of battle, thus leaving Bern in the larch, and so, later on, the General was in the habit of keeping 3ix or eight dragomans at his horse’s side, to make sure of not running short of the supply. in all things.

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 , the signature. I did not toll Hart I would battle of Medgyestho hussars suffered ter ribly, and their colonel sent to Bern to know If the cavalry should not retire. The message which the adjutant had to take back was: “Wheu all the hussars except two have fallen, then one of them is to 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 major.” “Then remain there just the same,” was the laconic answer, as the Russophobe galloped off to another part of the field.

The Visible World.—So instinctive is the affinity ot the emotions and affect lions with the beauty of tho visible world, that a combination between them takes place even when this beauty presents it* seif under conditions of extreme disad- van’age.
