\\jrxot. Mills in South CsnoLixa.—Mr.
itae Jfewspwper.
Mr. Charles Dudley Warner, of the
Hartford Courant, an accomplished
scholar, as well as an exparienced editor,
gave bis view* upon the “American News
paper,” before the Social Science Associa
tion, which recently met in Saratoga. It
is needless to add that they were sensible
and to the point. He is a keen observer
of the world at largo and an editor of
many year’s experience, who knows and
appreciates the excellencies as well as
the defects of journalism of the present
da/. We propose only to call attention
to one division of bis excellent address,
that of the relation existing between the
press and the public.
In the first place, the establishment of
a newspaper and its conduct is a legiti
mate business enterprise; based upon the
same principles and controlled by the
same motives that other professions or
vocations are. Mr. Warner justly says
that “the appeal for newspaper support,
on the ground that such a journal ought
to be sustained by an enlightened com
munity, or on any ground than that it is
a good article that people want—or would
want if they knew its value—Is purely
childish, in this age ol the world.”
On tho other hand, the public has no
rights in the newspaper, except what it
pays for—not even the “old subscriber,”
who threatens to stop his paper unless
certain privileges are granted him. And
yet there are men in every community
who seem to regard the press as public
properly, and make demands upon it that
they would not dare to do on any other
business enterprise in the country. They
call for space, which represents money to
the publisher, with all the assurance of
right, when they would never think of
going into a grocery store and demand a
barrel of flour, or ask a dry goods
merchant for a dress pattern without pay,
and yet the space is as much a monetary
value a3 these articles of merchandise.
Yet publishers are called upon without
stint to make these contributions, not only
to public, but oftentimes for private ends.
As to public benefactions and benevolent
enterprises, Mr. Warner remarks, “no
private person contributes so much to
charity, in proportion to ability, as the
newspaper. Perhaps it will get credit for
this in the next world; it certainly never
does in this.”
Another point Is forcibly presented by
the sp -aker. Ha contended that the ad
vertiser has no right beyond the use of
tho space which he pays for in tho adver
tising columns, and said that “nothing
more quickly destroys the character of
journal, begets distrust of it, and so re
duces its value, Gian the well founded
suspicion that its editorial coli'-nm are
the property of advertisers. Even a reli
gious journal, will, after a while, be in
jured by this.”
Still it is a habit all over the country
to send in a ten-line advertisement, and
then claim a live dollar puffin the edito
rial columns. If the editor refuses, woe be
to him. Tho Hon. Bombastes and Mr.
Skinflint, the most opulont merchants in
the community, will agree with Rev.
Long face, D. D.,tbat his paper is the most
stupid publication and Us editor the dull
est blockhead in all the country. The
truth is, they have been deadheaded in
the newspapers until they have become
dsadbeats.
Another point is, newspapers being bust
ness enterprises mast lire in a business
way and upon business principles,
If the public will not support
them, why they must go to the wall, just
like any other business enterprise which
falls for want of patronage. Proprietors
of newspapers must make an article that
will satisiy tho demand, if not, they have
no right to complain that the public will
not sustain them, If the public does not
sustain the best newspapers they must
expect the worst to thrive. As a rule
the newspaper is just what the reader
wishes it, and the responsibility is equally
divided between tbe subscriber and tbe
editor.
Tho Star Boute Thieves.
It will be a matter of gratification to
every honest citizen to learn that the mis
erable star route thieves, headed by Bra
dy and Dorsey, will be prosecuted vigor
ously. The only cause of regret will bo
tho shame that such corruption and
wholesale theft could be perpetrated in au
enlightened government and under the
auspices of a party that claims to repre
sent “high moral ideas.” Attorney Gen
eral MacVcagli has retained‘the great
criminal lawyers of New Y'ork city, Geo.
>r. Waltou Smith, the secretary of the BIIss 8ud Ben i- H - Drewster, to assist In
tbe prosecution. The employment of such
eminent connsel means business in every
sense of that term. These thieves will
be dealt with in earnest, and with perti
nacity, and their guilt which is so patent
now will only be mado the more conspic
uous by Investigation. There will be no
difllcnlly in finding them guilty, and the
Postmaster General will be sustained by
public sontimont In bis efforts to bring
these scoundrels to justice.

Btsnor Gnoss has issucu an order that

caused quite a sensation.
Doubtless tbe Truth.
Mr. Frank Richardson, tbe Washing

reliable of the guild, writes from Long
Branch that on Saturday night the Presi
dent was delirious, with a pulse of 130.
Mr. Richardson concludes as follows: “It
is not worth while to say more now than
to quote the language of one whose utter
ances, if I were at liberty to give his
name, would be accepted as final. Said
he: ‘I will not say that the case is hope
less, but If it is not it will be many anx

It is said that Mis. Celia Tbaxter,who
has a cottage on Appledore Island, in the
Isle of Shoals, is an atheist. She is a
poetess of considerable reputation and
her writings never exhibit any taint of
atheism, but some of them breathe a de
vout spirit. It is said that she Inherits
from her father, the late Col. Leighton,
the light house keeper on White’s Island,
a variable temper and disposition, and it
depends upon her mood whether she is
civil or not. Her father was one of the
most cracky individuals in all the land or
sea. His two sons, who own the hotels
on Appledore and Star Islands, were she
teen and eighteen years old before they
ever saw a horse or a dog, having been

Tbe Fence Question,
Among the few measures of importance
which have passed our Legislature, tbe
following, which received the signature
of the Governor on tbe 2Cth of August
stands second to none. The wanton de
struction of our pine forests in many sec
tions of the State has rendered fencing
timber exceedingly scarce, so that the
question of “fence” becomes one of vital
importance to the farmer. If the subject
was left to property holders alone,wLo are
tbe interested parties, the question could
be easily disposed of. But when it has
to run tho gauntlet of popular suffrage,
and when, as in many districts, the nun
property holders are in tbe majority, the
final decision is quite problematical,
We give tbe fall text of tbo bill, so that
our readers may post themselves, and bo
ready for tbe fray when tbe contest comes:
An act to amend section 1455 of the
code of Georgia of 1873, which provides
for submitting to the lawful voters of any
county iu this State, upon the petition of
fifty freeholders of such county, the ques
tion of‘fence’ or ‘no fence’ by authorizing
elections to be held under said section at
such time as tho ordinary may appoint,
and by striking out the proviso to sait
-lotion, and lor other purposes.
Section 1. The General Assembly of
the Slate of Georgia do enact, That from
and after tho passage of this act, section
1455 of the code of Georgia be and the
tbe samo is hereby amended by striking
from the 15th line of said section the words
on tho 4th Monday in July following, and
inserting in lieu thereof the words “at
such time as said ordinary shall appoint.”
Section 2. Be it further enacted, That
said section 1455 be further amended by
striking out tlic proviso contained in tliu
last lines thereof as lollows: “Provided
said elections shall not bo held oftener
than one time In every two years,” so
that said section when amended will read
as follows: “Tho foregoing provisions of
sections 1449,1450, 1451,1452, 1453 and
1454 shall become operative iu this State
upon the following terms and conditions
Whenever so many as fifty free holders m
any county of this State shall petition the
ordinary of any county for the bcncGt of
the provisions of said section, said ordina
ry shall at once make known throughout
said couuty by ad ;rtisement In the pub
lic gaze.tc, if there is one published in
said emu-.y, and by notice at all election
precincts and public places, when said pe
tition has been filed in his office, such no
tice to be published twenty days. It a
counter petition of freo holders is filed
amounting to fifty persons, then the ordi
nary shallproceed no further. If such
petition of free-liolders is not met by such
counter petition or if met by such counter
petition, is supported by a petition of so
many as twenty-five additional
tree holders, then the ordi
nary aforesaid shall at once
proceed to havo au election .held in said
county at such time as said ordinary shall
appoint In which the question shall bo
submitted to tbe lawful voters of said
county of “fence” or “no fence," said
election to be held at the court ground in
each malilia district aud under the same
rules and regulations as are provided for
the election of members of tbe General
Assembly, and after thirty days’ notice at
tho most public place in said county; pro
vided that no person shall be allowed to
vote at said election except in tbe militia
district In which he resides. The returns
of said election shall be made to the ordl
nary of said county, and after examining
the same aud deciding all questions
touching the right to vote at said election,
lie shall proclaim the result by notice
aforesaid. If tho lawful majority in said
oleetton is for no fence, then the provis
ions of said six sections shall take effect in
such county within six months thereafter.
A rlcn tor Harmony,
Tho plaintive plea of the New York
Tribune for harmony among tho distracted
elements ol the Republican party in that
State exhibits signs of evident weakness
and apprehension. That all things are
not lovely is seen In the very effort to put
on a cheerful look, and to account for
what tho world recognized os persistent
antagonism by calling it only a slight
misunderstanding. The arguments used to
still the troubled waters are Ingenious, but
fail utterly to convince a discriminating
public that the wound is not deeper than
the thickness of the cuticle. Somo remedy
more vigorous in action than mere sooth
ing syrup will have to be applied, before
tho hurt is cured. Tbe mere cessation of
calling each other nicknames, as “hair-
breeds” and “stalwarts,” argues nothing.
And the former shibboleth, “the good
old name, Republican,” cannot ap
pease offended dignity and wounded
pride. Boss Conkling will demand more
humility than mere letting by-gones be
by-goucs. He demands punishment as
well as confession upon the part of the
half-breeds. They have wronged him,
and reconciliation is possible only on the
ground of restitution. Tbe Tribune
manifests its weakness by trembling in
the presence of its former master, whom
now it tnes to propitiate. The stalwart
idea of justice is that an offender must not
only surrender, but must bring forth
works meet for repentance. As long as
tho Tribune and Us half breed followers
insist that the resignations of Conkling
and I’l< were a mistake, they never can
be received into the stalwart bosom of Re
publicanism. They must recant and say
that this piece of tomfoolery was right
and the Legislature of New York was
wrong In not indorsing that act. With
out this humiliation, all efforts as to har
mony will prove unavailing among tbe
contending factions.
fact. If harmony Is restored, it must be
in accordance with the dictation
of Mr. Conkling. When the stalwarts
talk of harmony, they really mean that
sort of harmony which restores Mr. Conk
ling to the boss-ship from which he has
been temporally forced. All the sweet
talk or wild ravings of tho Tribune can
not alter the case. Every indication por
tends a storm on the 5th of October next
in New York city among the faithful, and
it is arrant nonsense for tbe half-breeds
to plead the condition of the President as
a cause for harmony.
Tbe Michigan Fires.
Nothing is done upon a small scale in
this country. If we havo a war it must
be one that will give everybody occupa
tion; if a railroad syndicate is formed it
must have a score of millions to operate
with and a thousand miles of road; if a
city contemplates a nobby conflagration,
whole districts and blocks must fall aud
be restored within a year; if anything of a
tornado comes, it must sweep away cities
and destroy a hundred lives; if a first-
class specnlallou is projected a corner
must be made in wheat or cotton, and tho
foundations of trade shaken all over the
world, and if Ireland needs assistance
anything short of half a million must bo
considered an unsatisfactory collection.
The latest excitement has been gotten
up in Michigan. A forest fire sprang up,
and raged for weeks. Before it subsided
whole counties had been devasted, fif
teen thonsand men, women and children
left without food or shelter and two hun
dred lives lost. A vast district to-day
lies barren and waste; tbo inhabitants
thereof blinded fid impoverished.'
Townships, villages, farms, crops, imple
ments of trade and occupation, food and
even seed have been mercilessly swept
away. So utterly ruined for the time be
ing is tbe land that, correspondents of tho
leading journals In search of news, have
to carry, like She: man’s crow, their ra
tions wherever they go. A great number
of the sufferers are foreigners, who had
built themselves homes in the new laud
and were thriving. One eutiro settle
ment was filled with Poles, who not only
have lost their all, but actually cannot
make known their condition. Such scenes
of suffering as only the imagination can
conceive stare tho visitor In tho face aud
appeal for assistance.
The State of Michigan has responded
liberally to the demands made upon it,
and has done much to alleviate tho pres
ent sufferings of the Impoverished inhabi
tants of tho burnt district, but tho worst
has yet to come. These people must he
supplied with homes, with clothing and
with sustenance to bridge them over tho
bitter winter that is almost at band; and
with seed for the spring crops. The tele
grams call for a wider contribution, and
there is little doubt but that the call will
be answered. Tbe South is ever ready
with generous hands and sympathizing
hearts, when the cry of suffering is heard
in the land. Her people know what it is
to suffer and need the very necessaries ol
life; aye, further, they know wliat it is to
cry out from tho depths and to grasp tho
hands extended to them.
During the yellow fever epidemics of
the last ten years liberal assistance has
poured into tho suffering districts, not only
from the surrounding States, but from the
North. The appeals for assistance have
been answered by gi. of food and cloth
ing from the North and from tho very re
gions now in need. Let us return tho
gifts with interest. We are not rich, but
certainly not so poor as to bo unable to
discharge a debt of honor. If no local
agent is at hand, contributions sent direct
to Hon. Wm. G. Thompson, mayor of De
troit, will bo faithfully applied.

The proprietor of ono of tho leading pa
pers of the Stato stated a few days ago to a
friend that he had $18,000 in the stock of
Cole's road to Rome, and tint his editor
and associate editors were similarly pro
vided for. The managing editor of an
other paper, I am authoritatively informed,
spoke of nis stock in tho new lino, but did
not say how much he held. Rumor has it,
however, that he and his associates hold
about $20,009 in stock. A member was
heard to say that ho had been offered etock
for his vote and bis influence, but that he
had refused it, for fear that he would got
into trouble. From an interview published
in one of the city papers with a prominent
member of the Legislature, I soo that the
stock that has been floating around during
the time thnt tbe Cole charter was being
worked consisted of common stock, pre-
ferredstock and gold bonds. It is cur

Respecting tho rerent transactions men
tioned in the press of a recent dato by
which the Richmond and Danville Exten
sion Company acquired certain properties
lately held by Gen. Gordon nnd associates,
Major E. O. Gordon,who is now in tho city,
says thore is no troth in the statement that
they had received §750,000 in cash and a
large amount of the Ri-.-hmond nnd Dan
ville Extension Company's stock in addi
tion. He (Gordon) partly owned several
vnltmblo railroad charters leading fri n
Atlanta, Ga., to the Mississippi rivor, in
cluding fifty miles of graded roadbed, to
gether with 100.000 acres of valuable coal
and iron lauds in tho great Black Warrior
coal fields of Alabama, acquired at great
cost to themselves, and not for tho small
considerations indicated by the already
published statement?. In audition to these.
they lind secured largo donations from
cities, towns nnd counties in Mississippi,
■ad altogether they transferred values
several times larger than the amount
received by them from the Rich-
u outl and Danville Extension Company.
They wore proceeding to build the line of
tho Georgia Pacific themselves, but as the
Richmond and Danville syste 11 had deter
mined also to press a line westward from
Atlanta to tho Mississippi river, the Gordon
party accepted a proposition from the
Richmond and Danville Extension Compa
ny by which their property was transferred
to the Richmond and Danville Extension
Company, tho Gordons being allowed to
sabscribo and pay for the stock of tbe
Richmond nnd Danville Company ns all
other subscribers. Major Gordon further
staled that the reason for subscribing to
tho Richmond ami Danville Extension
Company is from tho coav'ctioa that tho
building of the Georgia Pacific in connec
tion with the Danville railroad system will
develop the richest iron and coni region in
tho world, and make the Georgia Pacific
railroad ono of the best paying investments

What Dr. Boynton any* About tbe
President** Condition.
Long Mranch npecial to Daltimore Sun, 15th.
The following, famished me by Dr.
Boynton, givee what is undoubtedly an
intelligent and reliable statement of the
s’tualion as it now exists: “There is just
the smallest gleam of sunlight visible, and
if it does not disappear I shall be thankful.
The President is not yet out of the woods
by a great deal, and it will be a long time
before be is. He is in an extremelv weak
condition, and it would take very little to
change our hopes to. grief. He is not so
well as before the difficulty with tho parotid
g''nd,!ind is much weaker. Itwillbosome
time before he gets back to that point Ho
has sained no strength, but there is an
amelioration of the unfavorable symptoms.
His cough troubles him a great deal, and is
still very hard. He expectorates large
quantities of pus, nnd it comes from the
lungs. He coughs up more pus in two
minutes than could flow from the gland in
an entire day. He expectorates much more
than when lie left Washington. Tho dis
charge from the wound was greater this
morning than usual, and the woaud
has a more healthy appearance. The
brandy which tho President is taking
bears the date of 1820. He has bad no
appetite since he camo hero. He cares
nothing about food; but, on tho contrary,
exhibits an aversion to it, and take3 it only
because wo r.sk him. Of coarse ho knows
that it is necessary to eat to gain strength.
I think it is wrong to creato tbe impression
that he relishes his food, for it is not the
truth. Ho dots not talk much, and has not
n?led to see the papers or have them read
to him. On Sunday n paper was laid on
liis bed. He held it in his hand for about
half a minute; that was all. The pure air
has braced him up somewhat, which helps
him > combat the unfavorable symptoms,
ard that is a great deal to bo tbankful for.
If ne had been left in W’oshington he would
not ho alive now. We cannot foresee what
will occur, but I hope he wiii pull through.
I am apprehensiva about the lungs, al
though the 8> mptoois are bettor to-day.
The lung trouble is undoubtedly duo to

Ladles’ Dress Cheaper.
Chisago Tribuns.,
It's not going to bo very expensive to
dress well this winter. Ladies can no
longer put twenty-five or thirty yards of
silk into dresses; they are to be made
very plain, mostly embroidered with
chenille or beads, and must clear the
ground ten or twelve Inches, according to
the foot of the wearer.
At present the great fad of the females
is for lovely stockings and nobby shoes.
Black silk hose are tho favorites, into
which are let rows of Chantilly or Mai-
teso lace. At Long Branch ladies do it
tieinsolvvs; buy black silk stockings and
insert strips ot handsome lace over the
iust’p.
In New York a delightful employment
aud beautiful article of dress is accom
plished by knitting what are termed rail*
road stockings. Tho most stupid person
can knit round and round, and that to all
that is required. For tho pleasure of
my Chicago sisters 1 append tho recipe:
There is a silk knitting thread sold here
at twenty-nine cents a ball, four of which
make a largo pair of stockings; bat I find
the yarn too sott, and prefer a tightly
twisted, finer thread, which I purchase of
a fringe maker In large skeins, weighing
five ounces.
Cast on twenty-oight stitches on the
needles and knit away till you have a
slender pipe (entirely unsuggeative of a
stocking) and about one-lialf a yard long
—not that, if the stocking is not desired
an extra length. Then knit round once,
dropping every fourth stitch; these drop
ped stitches will run to the top of the
sacking, striping it in lovely open work,
and making it instantaneously one-third
longer, and wide enough for the largest
sort of leg.
After this, tho stocking being as many
stitches smaller as you have dropped, you
knit about three inches at that size, and
then too off. “What! no heel ? " I hear
the uninitiated exclaim. No heel. “It’s
a poor foot that won’t shape it’s own
stocking,” tho old lady said when she knit
them this way; but the extreme elasticity
of the railroad hose makes a heel unnec
essary. They aro durable, they aro
handsome, and they are such jolly things
to have around for work that I anticipate
ny Chicago sisters will thank me for this
recipe.

DYSPEPSIA.
Different Cases Defined.
Boles for Its Treatment.
Dyspepsia is tho inability of the stomach
to prepare from the food eaten the nour
ishment required to sustain the body.
Among a dozen dyspeptics no two will
havo tho same predominant symptoms.
Dyspeptics of active mental power and a
bilious temperament ore subject to sick
headache; those who ms. fleshy and phleg
matic have constipation, while the thin and
nervous are abandoned to gloomy foro-
boumgs. Some ‘dyspeptics are wonder-
fnffy forgetful; others hare great irritabil
ity of temper. *
Symptoms of Dyspepsia
ot food,
heartburn, djsteubon of the stom
ach, headache, bad breath, sleep
lessness, low spirits, and general
prostration. Constipation is a fre
quent concomitant of dyspepsia,
but sometimes it is attended with
diarrhea*.
For the certain cure of dyspepsia Ihero
never was a medicine discovered equal to
or even deserving a comparison with Sim
mons Liver Regulator. Tho test of many
years and the experience of many thou
sands and tens of thousands of everv age
and condition of life has established the
fact that no one. will remain a dyspeptic
who will take this purely vegetable medi
cine according to the printed directions to
bo found always accompanying tho medi
cine. The Regulator, as a tonic and cor
rective, will strengthen tbe gastric organs
so that

been entirely restored to health, aud now
