Exit Hayes.
From the New York Herald: The
general contempt and dislike of Mr.
Hayes, felt and openly expressed by pub
lic men of both parties, rests, we believe,
on a sound basis—that be took the Presi
dency knowing he was not elected. Mr.
Hayes has shown himself a man of ouly
the most ordinary qualities. If to these,
however, bad he added the virtue of com
mon honesty, he would have made s
successful administration, and, as it is,
it is his fame and not the country’s in
terests which has suffered loss by bis
four years at the White House.
From the Washington Post: There
should be no spot of ground on the
American continent large enough to give
bim harborage or shelter save the few
feet of earth needed for a nameless grave.
Uv.t Hayes, the fraud. Eternal hatred to
Mi memory.
Here an two very bitter expresalons of
contempt for Mr. Hayes from leading pa
pers, and we waut to be the solitary
American press which takei exceptions
(not to the disapproval) but to setting up
Mr. Hayes as the great mark for public
indignation. This crime of lawless usur
pation and contempt of the will ef tho peo
ple—of the constitution, public justice and
public law, would never have been orig
inally conceived by Mr. Hayes. It was
first imagined by Zach Chandler, of Mich
igan, tbc chairman of the Republican Na
tionai Executive Committee, and from
him it was taken up and endorsed by the
great body ot the party, and is endorsed
still. It was this moral sanction of the
bulk of the Republican party that gave
Hayes the courage to strike the blow.
Without that, bo would sooner have
bung himself. He could never have
faced the dreadful guilt alone, asa.i
original conceMB’u, aud the men who
were active in leading him on to the ex
tremity of this foul pretence were and are
still tie leaders of Republican opinion—
James A. Garfield, John Sherman, James
G. Blaine and scores of others, who aro
more morally guilty than Hayes him
self, because they murdered American
suffrage in cooler blood. They did tlie
lying to buoy up Hayes’ courago. They
superintended and invented the dirty
work to be done, to get up tbo lame pre
tence of justification necessary, aud still
stick to tbeir frauds and falsehoods In
pride ol consistency. To turn on Hayes
now with tkeir coarse and ribald abuse,
a3 be shrinks from public observation,
while all of them are still reaping the
fruits of their villainy, has neither justice
nor reason. The crime was not so much
the crime of Ilaycs as of the Republican
party, and it has been apparently con
doned at the ballot-box; but, it may be, as
time wanes and selfish passions abate,
this great usurpation of tbo Presidency
will assume its proper moral altitude in
the eyes of the American people.
Gi»rflelil'» Opportunity.
Don Cameron is represented as cliarae-
teriziugGarfield’sadministration as afore-
doomed lailure already. The “wish may
be father to tbc thought.” A natural out
come for Mr. Garfield, we imagine, would
be like that of Hayes, from whom be does
not differ greatly in mental constitution
and resources. He is a good-natured,
well-meaniog man—lucky and successful
beyond bis rightful pretensions—not
largely given to self-assertion—detests
controversy—will yield a point to save a
quarrel, and will double and twist a good
deal to avoid a sharp issue. Let alone,
bis administration will be characterized
by nothing startling or unusual. If any
thing of that sort is brought to the front it
will be done, under cover, by some of the
thousand and ono schemers which throng
tbe court, for Garfield is naturally steady-
going and conservative.
He is fortunate in tbo general drift of
affairs. The country inclines to tbe ways
of peace and trade. That seems clear
enough from tha facts of the inauguration
Tbe Democrats have crowded to the front
almost as much as tbe Republicans. All
liave been anxious to take a share in tbe
honors, and though bis speech was as
sharp a Southern rebuke and as unjust
as could be administered, very fow hake
found fault with it. There never has
been, in fact, a more studiously peaceful
« a.
Tin: first angry cloud is going lo rise
from tbo administration circle. Tbo stal
warts are not a quiet generation, and will
perhaps show their bristles before tbe
year is out. They own the country, of at
least-think they do; and if anybody else
should set up to have a material, much
less au equal, share in tbe concern, it is a
deadly insult.
Tbe “thin! term” is tbe great rock
looming up in tbe future, and it is not to
be disguised that tbe third term forces are
entirely confident that they elected Gar
field. He was as good as beaten when
they took bold of his case and lifted him
out of the slough of despond and bought
liim a through ticket. That third term
and a Garfield succession will be issues
all through tbe administration, and just
so long as Garfield and bis party cannot
be worked in that interest, just so long
there will be war, more or less smotb.
cred; but it may be, for that reason, no
less fierce aud earnest. The antt-Garfield
factions are moving already, and we
doubt not, in tbe courso 'of tbe year,

called “visible supply” will make cotton
slow of sale, if not a drug in the market
Yet, still, the great anxiety among pro
ducers seems now to be tbe elaboration of
a cotton picking machine, which will do
away with tbe only practical limitation
of tbe crop, and make it, as to remunera
tive price, worthless,
Meanwhile, the average increase of tbe
cotton crop for the past five years has
been in tbe neighborhood of half amillion
bales, and tbe volume is rising from year
to year like a Mississippi fresh. Tbb
rate of growth outstrips legitimate de
mand for tbe fibre, and can have but one
result—tbat Is, to reduce its price. But
still, cotton producers are earnestly invi
ted to go to Atlanta next fall to seo a cot
ton picking machino,
We have no faith In the cotton picking
machine, but in so far as It should prove
possible to substitute advantageously
cheap macblno for human labor, to tbat
extent it would destroy tbe value of cot
ton to tho planter as an agricultural sta
pie. In tbo present condition of tbe mar
ket evory increase in tbe number of bales
diminishes tbeir value almost correspond
ingly, and tbe plain suggestion of tbe sit
uation Is to decrease tbe cotton-producing
force, if possible, without the sacrifice of
its income.
This is practicable by increasing our
grain crops. Wheat and upland rice
could bo made to bring tho farmer
good deal of money. Rico particularly
now bears a high price aud is in active de
mand Sheep we know aro profitable, and
the possibilities ol sheep growing have
never been tested in Georgia. It is stated
tbat there are more sbeep in tbe State of
Ohio, than in the whole nine Southern
States, Texas excepted; and tbat in all
these great range States the sheep do not
av-rage one to ninety acres. A crop of
wool and wholesome nutritious meat is
what tho farmers need to ease their sum
mer condition, and make subsistence bet
ter. We want sheep to fertilize our light
soils. Lamb is now quoted at 45 cents a
pound in Fulton Market, and if Georgia
conld ship spring lambs to tbat market
they would go well with our early vegeta
bles. We shall never build up any such
prosperous condition as we could easily
create, until we diversify our industry and
multiply tbe m ans and methods of profit.
Public Debt ofTcnuciwcc.
Tho Nashville Amirican states the prop
osition which the Tennessee bondholders
have made to the Governor of tbat State
ks follows:
The Governor has received a proposition
from the bondholders to settle the debt
dollar for dollar, nt 3 per cent, interest, the
bonds to run ninety-nine years, coupons to
bo receivable for taxes. The Governor
will probably send the proposition to tho
Legislature to-day or to-morrow. The
proposition has been kept a profound se
cret, and it was only by most diligent
inquiry that the reporter could obtain the
point given above. No one seems to know
what the Governor will recommend regard
ing the proposition.
On July 1,1881, the debt, with accrued
interest, will lie, in round numbers, about
$27,(100,000. Three per cent, interest on
tiiis amount woald bo $810,000, or $162,030
less than wools be required under the 60-6
proposition originally made by tho bond
holders.
Two years ago tbe Tennessee Legisla
ture rejected a proposition to pay fifty
cents on the dollar of ibis debt and 4 per
cent, interest. Tbc proposition to pay the
face of it is not, therefore, likely to prove
attractive. Still, as tbe chances for au ad
vantageous settlement were much better
two years ago than they are now, so they
are better now than they will be two years
hence. There is no sound reason m law
and morals why tbo State should not
pay, and she will bo compelled to pay at
last. ^
Tub New York World, commentingon
tbat part of tbo inaugural which says tbat
“bad government is an evil, but to inter
fere with suffrage Is a crime,” aptly
remarks: In the meantime, if tho majority
ot iho voters In any particular community
aro so ignorant and their leaders so cor
rupt that the rule of tbe majority is the
rule of highwaymen, tbo minority, who
comprise all tbe intelligence and all tbe
property of tbe community, must appa
rently submit to bo robbed upon tbe
ground, tbat whereas robbery is “a great
evil,” denial of tbs elective franchise to
classes confessedly unfit at present to
exercise it is “more than an evil—It is a
ertme.” This is a hard saying for those
communities, if any such communities
there are, in which the only alternative to
being robbed is to prevent tbe robbers
from obtaining public oflices, and tbe
notion that preventing their obtaining the
offices by tbo only practicable means
is worse than rubbing the public treas
ury, recalls De Quincey’s sliding scale
of crime in which murder figured as a
peccadillo and procrastination as a heinous
crime.

It w&3 a graceful act on the part of the
new President to name Judge Thurman

in Paris. Bnt it would have been a much
more graceful one to have sent In his name
as Judge of the Supreme Court, vice Stan
ley Matthews,permanently retired fromal
honorable government employ. How
ever, Mr. Garfield has taken tho first step
in the right direction, and, as the French
say, “it is that which counts.” j
Randall, of the Augusta Chronicle,
in speaking of the new President In one
of his recent letters from Washington,says
Mr. Stephens “accounts him the most in-
telleciual President since Jefferson.” We
do not, however, hear from Mr. Stephens
whether there arc any other points of re
semblance—in backbone, for instance.
Tbat Is the (rump -card for a President to
bold nowadays.

into effect until it has bee., passed upon
by tbe people, at an election next August,
and it may be Toted down. Most proba
bly it will fail of a majority. Many a man
who is a light drinker will question tbo'
wisdom and practicability of prohibition.
These are pretty nearly synonoinous terms.
If the statute can be enforced, few sensible
men will question tbe fact tbat it will
benefit the State wonderfully in every in
terest. The point of difficulty is that no
State has yet succeeded in enforcing pro
hibition even, (as we believe,) to tbe ex
tent of diminishing tho consumption of
liquor. Tho testimony goes to show that
tbe practical effect of prohibition is tbe
substitution of tree trade in liquor for a
license system. But let North Carolina
try what she can do. We bid her God
speed in the attempt. _
Nmall-Pox Abroad.
East and West there seems to be an ex
traordinary supply of small-pox abroad.
The Western papers report that the - Chi
nese have sown tho disease broadcast in
the Sandwich Islands, and it is so malig
nant and destructive in character that the
islanders ate fleeing from it in droves to
San Fnncisco. There are a good many
cases of it in San Francisco, New York
and Philadelphia. At several points in
Canada it is prevalent, as many as a hun
dred cases being reported in some small
towns. In New Haven, Connecticut, a
small-pox panic is noted. In some points
in New Jersey it Is prevalent, aud, in
short, there is enough of it- scattered about
tbo country to suggest the propriety of
caution and vigllauce.
Extraordinary lotton Receipts.
The Cotton Exchange yesterday re
ported the week’s receipts at 137,755 bales,
against 04,204 the corresponding week of
last year—showing an excess of 73,401
bales 1 This is tbe heaviest week’s gain
within memory. The total receipts were
4,770,700 bales against 4,330,004, showing
an excess of440,000 bales. As a natural re
sult “weak,” “nominal” “dull”and “quiet”
cliaracterized tho reports from all tbe
markets. Nor can we look for any better
reports until something comes to indicate,
within a reasonable margin, some limita
tion of the excess of this yeir’s crop.
There are yet nearly six months of the
current cotton year before us, and tbe
amount of increase now apparent, added
to last year’s product, would give us about
6,200,600 bales.
But, ttutb to say, a crop of 0,500,000
bales will not astonish us so much as last
Friday’s return of the receipts of the week.
Such returns, on the heels of such a pick
ing season, put us beyond tbe domair of
surprise. We are ready for any rate of
increase for the cotton crop, and to antici
pate a swelling that will be checked only
by tlie certainty that cotton can be sold
ouiy at loss.
We appeal to the brotherhood of tho
plow tiot to wait uutit that time comes
before they strike out some new avenues
to profitable farming. Cotton, at best,
promises but a low return. Twenty dol
iars au acre, less investment and ex
penses, is the best it will do in Georgia, at
tbe ordiuary rate of fanning; and tbat is
a great deal above average. A good deal
better income can be obtained from an
ordinary crop of rice or wheat; and it is a
vital ppmt in fanning economy reproduce
food sufficient to supply the farm, without
drawing upon tho meagre profits of the
cotton crop.
We do not believe there is an agricul
tural population iu America that draw a
less luxurious living from their business
than tbe Southern farmers. Their staple
food is bacon Imported from tho West,
and comparatively few of them take the
pains to supply themselves from their gar
dens, barns, sheep folds and fowl bouses
with those delicate and nutritious luxu
rlcs which add so much to health and
comfort. These they might have with the
cost of effort, and they aro merely rudi
mentary contributions to domestic con-
icntmciit.
What makes a wealthy and abundant
country is tbe innumerable small contri
butions ol labor. Tho mass of mankind
the world over, must earn their bread be
driblets; and it is the trade iu and ex
change of small products tbat creates tho
aggregate ot vast wealth. Tho reason we
have not vast wealth Is because we dcspls:
small saviugs. If we coulik once get out
of the id-a of producing hut one crop and
compelling that one to clolho aud feed
us—if we could aval 1 ourselves of the thous
and resources for subsistence just at our
bands and needing only employment, we
could then begin to glow rich and be com-
foi table. Out towns would be full of food
of our own production. We should sot
have to send abroad for chickens, eggs aud
butter and import them by millions’ worth.
We should Keep our mouey at iiome, and
it would circulate among our people, doing
good everywhere. But as we go, our cot
ton fills the pockets ouce.a year, and then
we turn them inside out to pay debts, and
that is-tho end of it. This is the annual
operation, year after year, and it benefits
nobody except tbo few middlemen who
control tbe exchanges. If sonio old lady
should say to a cotton planter, “I make
more monej out of my cow and my chicken
coop than you do out of your thousaud
aero cotton farm,” ho might bo surprised,
but she would be telling tbe truth in many
a case.

Apropos of Secretary Blaine and the
State Department, tho New York Daily
Bulletin of thu 0th lias the following:
Apprehensions, wo observo, are ex
pressed in soma quarters that-Mr. Blaine
will be an unsafe, if not a sensational,
Secretary of State as regards his manage
ment of our foreign relations. Tins ap
prehension appears to bo based partly
upon bis impulsivo 'temperament and
partly npon his known tendency to An
glophobia; which latter be would seem to
share iu common with tbe Maino fisher
man, who are rarely without a grievance,
it uotagaiust JMm Bull, then against
John Bull, Jr. In addition to these sin
ister influences there aro others in tbe
courso of development of a more positive
character. Hardly has the Senator from
Maino entered upon his office before bis
friends are somewhat ostentatiously
throwing out Intimations tbat tho now
secretary is going to make things lively,
and tbat it is his intention to “make Sir
Edward Thornton, tbo British minister,
quicken bis diplomatic pace” with refer
ence to Professor Hinds’ Halifax Fishery
Commission statistics.
Ouo can ouly guess at wliat this means;
but be bis disposition wnat it may, we
are of opinion tbat no ono need entertain
the slightest uneasiness as to Mi*. Blaine's
ability to work up trouble with England.
The Western element in the White House
as well os in tbo cabinet, we suspect
would prove an effective bar to any mis
chief of tbat kind. 'The agricultural in
terests would not bo unmoved by tbe
spectacle of tbo now Secretary stirring up
tbo British lion on so flimsy a pretext as
the Halifax award. The money interests
at stake, even if Ptof. Hinds can maintain
ids position, aro the merest bagatelle; and,
scold as the Eastern fishermen may about
it, wo aro disposed to think tbeso would
never be permitted by tbo Western farm
ing Interests to weigit for ono moment
against tbe hundreds of millions which
John Bull annually pays for Western
grain and provisions. It may gratify Mr.
Blaine’s sensational impulses to say or do
something to make the British minister
“quicken l)is diplomatic pace,” but, for
tunately, it is not in bis power with tbe
cabinet constructed as it is, and with a
Western President in tho White House, to
work up any ill feeling between the two
ountrles, if he is ever so ranch inclined to.

Major Smyth seems to have tho best
chance for appointment, but as there are
charges against bim on file in the depart
ment of justice, his confirmation might be
doubtful. Thomas Johnson, collector of

pressure ofthe army of “outs.” It is not
probable tbat many, if auy, of tbo
Georgia places will be filled at this ses
sion of theSenate. If the marshal resigus
within tbe next few days, of coarse tbe
President would fill tho place at once,
aud the surveyor ior Atlanta will probably
soon be appointed, as merchants aro wait

About the Extra Session.
Tho Washington correspondent of tho

Notwithstanding the assertions and rea
sons to the contrary, tlie prospects of an
extra session are growing stronger. Yes
terday it was possible; to-day it is prob
able, but not certain. Great pleasure lias
been brought to bear upon General Gar
field to get him to change his miud as to
this subject. Two days ago be stated to a
prominent Republican that an extra ses
sion was neither necessaiy nor advisable;
last night a number ol Influential party
friinds called upon liim aud urged llmt an
extra session be called In May. Other
prominent Republicans have been to tlie
White House to-day on tho same errand,
and it is said to-night that both Blaine
and Windom have added their advice to
the same cml and tbat Garfield has suc
cumbed to the pressure aud will make the
call. -
This call will bo for the 15th of May
and be based upon tho necessity for the
passage of an act to refund tho national
debt, an apportionment bill and other
legislation. If Congress is called to
gether lu May the probability i3 that it
willnot get away before the middle ot tlie
heated term. ' The temptations for the
Republicans to go into general legislation'
will be too great to be successfully resisted.

Unexplained Facto.
Affaire do go oddly In this world. Tbo
other day there was a railroad disaster in
New Jersey, whareby several persons
were badly hurt, but only one, as it turned
out, fatally. He was a young man of
singu'arly industrious habits-and of a
most unselfish character. Upon his la
bors an aged mother and father and two
sisters wholly depended for tbeir support.
It was the ambition of thi3 young man to
give to his mother a deed of the bouse
wb'eli tbe family occupied. To this end
he liau foregone marriage,and toiled early
and late; he personally attended to the
smallest housekeeping details, managing
them all with the most pains-taking econ
omy. The family Itself had seen better
deys, and he was the last prop left. His
manly and self-sacrificing spirit had grad
ually impressed itself upon tho communi
ty in which he lived, so that ho was re
spectfully and kindly regarded on every
hand. • >
He had been in one place of service and
trust for eight years, and only life and
time seemed to be needed to unable bim
finally to secure the end toward which aii
his energies were bent. Well, out of eight
carloads of passengers he was tbe only one
killed. Sitting iu the seat with him at
the time of the crash was a man who has
since said that he thought he was ready
to die, and that no ono would have suf
fered by bis death, or, according to his
own perhaps excessive modesty, missed
him. This man was not eveu scratched,
while Ills fellow occupant of the same

Young and old alike participated in this
innocent and diverting custom, and not
until this morning did it become known
that it was tbe cause of an exceedingly
unfortunate and serious difficulty. .Senator

and Mr. Hague, a young gentleman who
hau lately conic among us, are fellow-
boarders in one of our very best
families. The former is very grave,
sedate and dignified in bearing, aud is
reserved aud unsociable; the latter is of a
very pleasant and geuial nature, and en
tered heartily into the amusements of the
day, and at "dinner slyly mashed a shell
on the carefully combed head of tbe dig
nified consul, to the great amusement of
the company and discomfiture of Senor
Consul.
This moruing Senor Almarez called on
Mr. Hague and asiked an apology for the
insult inflicted on Him. Mr. Ilagne ex
plained that no indignity or offense
whatever was intended; tbat it wts an in
nocent indulgence and the custom of tho
day, and no offense should be taken.
The Consul refused to accept tbe ex
planation unless tbe apology was made
a the presence of the parties who wit
nessed tbe egg breaking,which Mr. Hague
declined, at the same time repeating, in
tbe presence of witnesses, that no iuault
or offense was intended. Senor Almaraz

satisfaction be required, and said be would

Bismarck (D. T) Cor. St. Paul Timet.
Your special correspondent, on the train
to-day from this place to Fargo, met a gen
tleman just from Miles City, Montana,
where ho had been for the past four
months, buying furs. He left Miies City on
tbe 14th Instant, and came overland on a
buckboatd to Bismarck, as all trains on
tbe Northern Pacific west of the Missouri
river havo been abandoned on account of
snow. Tbe firm lie represents lias bought
18,000 buffalo hides during tbe fall and
winter, and he says 83.C00 have been pur
chased by tbe buyers at Miles City during
tbe past fall aud winter, and tbo number
cannot possibly ever be bought again in
one season, as they havo been slaughtered
by the wholesale. The gentleman referred
to is one of the largest fur dealers in Midi,
igao, and for the past five years has been
pushing to the front in the far trade, and
.-ays the buffalo are becoming extinct at a
rapid rate, and gives it at his opinion that
of the SO,000 killed near Miles City this
season all but 20,000 were slaughtered for
their bides alone. Although the law of
Montana prohibits the killiugof buflalofor
their hides only, this wholesale slaugh
ter continues, and to those on tlie extreme
frontier is quite a source of revenue,03 the
hides have brought this season from $2.25
to $2.75 each. It looks like a shatnc that
these animals should bo killed for their
hides only, and the carcasses of 60,000 an
imals should be Icit to decay upon tbe
broad prairies of tbe West when so many
thousands in tbe larger cities are suffering
for the want of food.
He says flour last week was ten dollars
er hundred, and many staples are very
fgh and scarce, and the demand for goods
lias been greater than contemplated this
winter by tbe merchants at this point, and
besides they were relying some on tbe
Northern Pacific for goods, bnt tbo exten

Farming on a Grand Scale.
The ranch ofH. J. Glenn, in Colusa
county, is one of -the largest and most
noted in the State, and perhaps presents
the best illustration of extraord iuary farm
ing along the Sacramento. On being
asked recently why be raised wheat alone,
bis reply was as lollows; “People ask
why I raise all wheat. Tbo answer Is
simple: It is tbe only crop tbat will bear
transportation; it is the only crop not per-
hhable.. I must not raise on my land
what ruins me, but wbat is profitable.”
Dr. Glenn’s ranch comprises about 60,-
000 acres of land, aud the number of
acres in wheat each year ranges between
40,000 and 50,000. Reckoning an average
of from 20 to 25 bushels to the acre, the
aggregate crop each year amounts to
something more than 1,000,000 bushels.
This enormous amount of grain requires
vast appliances for plautiug aud bringing
it to market; and tlie capital invested in
machinery alone sums up a considerable
fortune.
During the harvest time there are cm-
jloyed on tlio entire ranch some 500 men.
Or. Glenn is gcneral-m-cluef of his force,
and the ranch is divided, for convenience
of operations, into nine smaller ranches—
each with dwelling house, barns, black
smith shop, and other neces'ary buildings,
b charge of these are seven foremen, un
der whom are sixteen blacksmiths, four
teen carpenters, six engineers, six machin
ists, fire commissaries, aud numerous
cooks and servants. Tiio common work
men are divided into gangs, and detailed
where they are needed. " Them arc 130
gang plows; 00 herders, to which belong
160 wagons: 0 cleaners, 100 barrows, Is
seeders, C thrashers, 0 engines. Besides
there arc many smaller instruments and
chicles, which cannot be classified. Go-
