finve the Party.
Since tlie 19th day of July last Mr.
Stephen# has been before the people of
Georgia as the ostensible candidate of the
Democratic party for governor. During
this long period, which has been marked
by the assembling of many county, dis
trict and Congressional conventions, only
here and there at one or two places
has there been any attempt to in
dorse and ratify the action of the State
convention.
Those outside of the faction in the party
which forced this nomination who have
accepted it have done so grudgingly, un
willingly and under protest. They have
submitted, not to what they have consid
ered Just, lair, right or even politic, but
have endeavored ‘ to silence their own
convictions lu the hope of saving the party
organization. »
As it was evident from the mceptlblFof
the Stephens movement^ and grew plain

not the voluntary choir " tlie party, so

__ aemselvea as
good Democrats as kT77 Stephens, aud it is
currently reported that tho latter was es
pecially bold and defiant of Mr. Stephens
and his friends In Ills Tato speech at
Galnesvlilti. Nov ono if tlie organs which
worked with so much warmth and zeal to
force Mr. Stephens upon the party luu ral
lied to his support or defcnae, or has
1'tmud occasion to asasil Messrs. Felton
and Speer. In fact, Indcpendontism is
spreading rapidly throughout the State.
In Senatorial districts, in county con
tests and in Congressional races motnbers
of the Democratic party are opposing or
are threatening to oppose the nominees.
In fact, party organization and discipline
went down with the roll call of tlie
Slate convention. Democrats of all ages
and service, from tha true end tried veto-
rsu to the tsweat recruit, deny allegiance
aud refuso to move at the command of
the party. And In their own justification
they polut to the years In which Mr. Ste
phens stood In daring and deflaut rebel
lion against the party whose honors he
now claims.
It is not a pleasant picture. It Is by no
means a promising one, but we had best
not shut our eyes to it. It la plain that,
while Mr. Stephens commands the per
sonal raapect and confidence of the people
of Georgia, he Is not sustained and will
not be by the political power and influ
ence of tho unbroken Democratic party of
the State. His late confession of faith
was made at a time and under circum
stances as cannot obliterate the memory
of bis past desertion. This, combined
with his frail physical and Intellectual
condition, and supplemented by the pe
culiar aria aud agencies by which be was
brought forward, render him an unfortu
nate and Incompetent leader.
The commander of a party, like that ot
au army, should bavo authority aud the
confidence of those whom ho assumes to
lead. Mr. Stephens does not possess these
requisites. Many of the best men of the
Democratic party will not follow him.
They cannot lie dragooned Into bis sup
port by being durided as "soreheads," and
abuse of a similar character. They are

which have divided it.
Harmonious action Is still within reach.
As no one can defend the nomination of

he Is not the proper person to lead the

successfully, for though his flection may
be secured, tha alienation ot the best

At the mention ot Venus our minds aro
far more apt to call up the image of the
matchless Aphrodite rising, newborn, from
the snow-flecked waves of the sea, than
the phosphorus and Hesperus that bright

concleve of the sensuous goddess, sailing
through space, drawn by her snowy doves
and atteuded by winged loves, rather
than the gleaming planet, drawn by the sun
attended by revolving worlds. V(e
picture tbe Venus sung by poets, glowiug
in canvas and breathing in marble, rather
than the Venus studied by scientists and
peered at by astronomers.
But Just now tbe sclentslts have tbe day,
and are giving the little planet all tbe at
tention she deserves. Realizing tbe full
importance of her name, she has sought
to wear it by virtue of right. Long ages
ago, the mystified tbe old astronomers by
her whims, by appearing now here, and
now there; first In the morning, then
evening, till at length, despairing of loca
ting her, they gave her two names— 1 “Phos
phorus' and "Hesperus," and turned their
attention tocliier more,profitable subjects.
Things went on quietly some thousand or
so years, till Galileo, peering at her
through his new fashioned glass, discov
ered new infidelities. He found that she
was far from being the plain, uuvarylng
planet she appeared. He watclied ber

Rered her and called her to dance before
biin. And these occasions men have
called tbe transits of Venus.
Astronomers liavo watched these transits
with more interest than almost any other
celestial event. Their period is very ir
regular, being never lesstli n eight years
apart or more tha* one hundred aud
twenty-one years. The object of the astron
omers has for years been
get a fixed base line or
of measure. Onco get the distance from
the earth to the sun, and such a Hue be
comes fixed, and from the transit of Ve

ourstcly than by any ether method.
Then ouce get the distance to the sun ac
curately determined, aud tho calculation
of all other distances and the result to
be deduced from them become compara
tively easy. The problem hinges
acetate determination of the parallax of
the sun. This has already been ealeu
lated to tlie hundredth part of a »*coml
of arc. But even this small part works
out au erior of hundreds of thousands of
miles. And it it to overcome this error
that tho different governments aro unk
ing preparations to observe tho new tran
sit on tbe (ilk of December, 1882. Tbe
first transit observed o.currcd in 1GRG.
It was predicted by Jeremiah Horrox.
a curate, who bad calculated tlie time of
its occurrence, lie made his preparations
for a series of observations,. but it fell on
Sunday, beginning while he was at
chufth. So he only had tho satisfaction
of seeing his prediction verified. From
tills tluio till 17<U no transit occurred. At
this time all tho principal nations of Eu
rope sent out observers. Eoglaud, being
at war, prevented the French from reach
ing their destination. Tbe expedition de
veloped one case of unrewarded pluck and
persistence that always excites tlie
sympathy of astronomers. This Is Le
Gantil, Sent out by the French he found
port of destination occupied
by tlie English, then at war. lie was
forced to sea, and tlie day of tho transit
passed. He knew that in eight years
there would be a second transit visible at
the seine point. Without hesitating, he
resolved to wait the eight years through.
He endured them patiently, aud the long-
looked for morning at last dawued, cloud
less. Uut )ust at the beglnulng o! tbe
transit, dark clouds blew up, and when
they passed away, the phenomenon waa
over. He was so crushed and disheart

Tbe views set forth are so just and cor

them beyond their mere reproduction.
While the stockholders of that great cor
poration kuowu — the Central railroad
may be considered to feel a strong inter
est In tbeir investments, the people of
Georgia at large, though not stockholders
proper, also have claims upon the roads
which form this great combination, and
those into whose hands tbeir manage
ment may be entrusted. While it
Is too plain to admit of argument
denial, that much of tbe material
greatness aud prosperity of Georgia may
be attributed to the wisdom which inau
gurated her railroad policy aud tbe fore
sight and energy which have developed it,
it is also true that the future growth and
power of the State depend upon the
ecouomy and conservatism which may be
exercised In the management of tbe rail
roads for the future. Every citizen of
Georgia, and every interest in tbe State
Is more or len dependent upon the suc
cess of the railroads.
One might bo tempted to doubt tbe as
sertion, after spending a day in tbe Geor
gia Legislature aud watching the embryo
statesmen who are ambitious to wreck
these great properties by hostile legisla
tion, but it is nevertheless true. Georgia
is scarcely more interested In a good hon
est State government, than in a wise and
conservative administration of her rail
road property.
Mr. Wadley died just as tlie Ignorant and
prejudiced, and the little people bad been
compelled Vo acknowledge that his quiet,
steady and far-—elng efforts were work
lug out to satisfactory results. He did
not live long enough to reap tbe plaudits
of the mob, but tho work ot his lifetime
mute an impress upon all of tbe indus
tries of Georgia that should not bo per
mitted to be effaced by dangerous aud
doubtful experiments.
In business and railroad circles it lias
been long considered as the prnper thing
that when bo laid down his authority he
should bo succeeded by his son-in-law,
W. G. Raoul. And for tho reason, that his
natural capacities had been so trained
and cultivated uuder tbe eye of
Mr. Wadley hitns n lf, as to command
his admiration aud confidence. And eveu
at this moment tho friends of Mr. Raoul
are given to speaking of him as a railroad
man rather in the reflected light ot tlie
reputation of bis tatUer-in-law, than upon
bis own Indisputable merits. This Is un
just to both. Mr. Raoul has been accom
piished in bis profession from the ground
floor up. Behind a quick and discrimi
nating tr.iud, he hat undoubted pluck aud
energy, tlie whole broadened aud sus
tained by an enlarged experience. Many
of the qualities of bead and heart of Mr.
Wadley he has in a high degree,
but Is independent In thought and
acMon. lie is In all respects a belter rail
road man than Wadley was at bis age, for
the latter, who was wedded to the meth
ods of earlier days' was slow and averse to
taking hold and goiug forward with the
rapid strides that have marked railroad
enterprises within a decade

except what was received to pay
passage. They had been promised that
everything would be provided. Tbe se
ductive agents had disappeared. They
had been working for base political ends,
aud had accomplished their work. Thou
sands of destitute negroes were left with
out shelter, without food, without money.
Homeless, friendless, moneyless, they
turned to tlie whites for aid. homo wi rked
their way back to Georgia, others tried to
brave it out.
For a Ions time nothing hu been heard
of them, and it wu supposed here that
they were doing well. Only a short time
ago we read that a peculiar sweet distil
lation wu falling every night, and we
thought that heaveu wu interposing and

But at (his ' juncture comes Jos De
Long, ex-judge, of Independence, aud
states that "there arc leu thousand of
these people, in absolute poverty, in the
State of Kansu, eating coru bread, water
ana greens, and aome ire dying of want.”
Tbe judge has gone u a missionary to the
Eutern States, and urges, u au act of
charity, that they save the people from
starvation.
And this is tlie sequel of the exoduster
movement; sickness, want, starvation,
beggary, death. As we said before, the
negroes are a people of simple tastes. We
do not claim that Georgia .is an earthly
paradise. But we do say that with honest

Moreover, that labor is always in demand.

It takes but Rule to gratify tbe desires
of the negro. Trace him from his ances
tors down to his present position and con
dition, and nowhere do we find evidences
of luxunoutness in dress or table indul
gence. Foreign correspondents some
times write us that in the matter of fash
ion, the yellow string encircles tbe big
toe instead cf going plain around the
ankle, or that tbe left ear la painted
green Instead of red. Now and then
some prince has his missionary served up
iu croquette or fricasseed, Instead of tbe
old-fashioned boil and fry. But for tbe
most part they aro simple in their tastes.
The Southern States seemed to furnish
them with all they wanted. Under tbe
old regime Georgia writers loved to pic
ture tbeir content os being tbe perfection
of purely pbysi.al happiness. With no
literary aspirations, physical wants were
gratified, and they literally "took no
thought for tbe morrow."
Then uuder the new rule, nowhere did
the negroes take hold so readily as in
Georgia. Tbe first of tbe Stales to secure
political calm, she was also the first to
seek to promote the mental and physical
welfare of tbe negro, and fit him for his
new duties. Schools were soon erected,
churches rose by marvel, employment was
at command, and everything bade fair to
work out a peaceful solution vf a vexed
problem. Everybody seemed content,

If some ofthe most pretentious of these
efforts have perchance fallen under the
eyes of real friends of the late B. II. Hill
they have but addod a ke :ner pang to the
pain caused by tlie memory of bis suffer
ings. In life, he despised such trash, and
understood him aright, held ln low
estimation some of those who have sought
ephemeral place iu tbe lustre of his
fame, which left a radiant shadow after
his spirit had sank below life's horizon.
He was loo much of a man In life to
merit such treatment in death. Tho sim
ple, true story of his life does not need
the embellishments of tawdry rhetoric.
His Intellectuality was too great; his in
dividuality too strong, to need the assist
ance of historical exaggeration to trans
mit them to posterity,
It Is to he hoped that the gentlemau
who has undertaken the compilation of
this matter to be put in more enduring
shape, will approach his labor of love
with a severe taste and sharp scissors.
Out ol the inass of gurii, exaggeration
id^mlsstatemeut of well established
facts, which have met nur attention
this connection, we select the following
from tlie Galveston Aetrs;
The negro is on imaginative creature,

majority of thirty-five, there was an effort
make the vete unanimous, snd tho members
were required to attach their signatures t<> what
was deemed the second '‘declaration of lude-
pence." AtthU juncture Mr. Hill rose
feet, end with tears streaming from hta eyes,
poured forth the Bratidcat torrent ot eloquence
ever listened to in the halls of the old eapltol
at MlUedgevtlle. He foreshadowed the dim
cuttle*, disaster, distress and rain which the
sequel, alas I too truly verified, lie had done
hi* duty, as he conceived It. to himself and
hia country, but e majority of his people had
decided agalnat hia counsel, and It then be
came hia doty, as he conceived it, to bow
their will end embark with them In the peril
ous venture of sccewilon. In a lofty, f«rvl«? (
manly and mournful strain of eloquence,
declared his rea^'ncse to sign the ordinance
and. come weal or come woe, to share the for
tunes of his Bute and hi* people. Appealing
to those who had stood by him In hia effort
stay the wild wave of secession, to bury all par
tisan spirit, and, with him. surrender to the
evitable and moke It a common cause,
walked with e firm treed to the table where
the ordinance was being signed, end amidst
the wildest enthusiasm hi* side of the liou*«
rose end followed him, and all but six pat
tbeir namea to the solemn declaration that
ered the political bond* which then bound
Georgia to the Union.
Read that to any one hundred Geer
gitns gathered tl nvufom, aud not one
would go beyond tbe borders gtala
to locate Its author or place of publica
tion. We were both surprised and shock
ed to find it la a journal so strong, to rep
utable as the Galveston Sete*.
It is a fancy sketch limned for tbe oc
casion. There was no such scene. Mr.
Hill engaged In the debate, in which there
were giants, which preceded the passage
ofthe resolution ordering tbe report ot
ordinance of seceislon, with distinguished
seal and ability. The ordinance wo* paaaed
in tbe afternoon of the 19th day of Janu
ary. It was ordered to be enrolled for
signatures on the following day, and the
convention adjourned. On the nest day
tha doors were thrown open to the public
and tbe counties were called Ip order
tbe secretory or the convention. As
county waa called tbe delegates from that
county came forward and signed their
names. It was a slow, tedious and unin
teresting performance, and delegates tnd
visitors toon tired, and the hall won
thinned before tbe performance waa con
cluded. There waa no excitement,
eloquence, no tears. Indeed, there won
but little weeping In that mro*>rable
body.
When Mr. Hill would rise to flights
eloquence, tbe Hon. Fermedus Reynolds,
who was one of his warmest admirers,
would Invariably cry. Dr. Means would
also occasionally melt him with
rhetorical roulade.
Beyond this the duty of tbe convention
waa grimly gent through with, and
outward token given of tbe struggle
