In a resent speech he says: “I do not say that I am an msthetio statesman. I am a politi cian, I suppose. I fight for my party. I am not a mugwump. I shall ho satisfied if my party, which I believe to be sound on constitutional questions, shall say of me: ‘Other things being equal, he stood by his friends; he never rose to sneh nn aesthetic pedestal that he conld not distingnish a friend from s foe.'" To which sU good Democrats will respond, amen. Mb. William E. Cbambb, the venerable proprietor of the Milwankee Evening Wis consin, lays: “The expenditure ot 110,000,. 000 annually in educating the illiterate classes in the United States wonld give ns a far stronger defense in tho oaae of s foreign war than ten times ten millions pnt into fortifications.” It wonld be hard to prove this. All the education and civilization of Rome could not bold back the Gotha. Civil isation and education probably reached as high a plane in Greece as anywhere, bat when they outstripped arms the empire sank into rains. The pen is mightier then the sword in poetry only. The sword has always carved the pathway for letters. Awsr back in 1836, it has lately been dis covered, Congress passed an act, which was also incorporated in the Revised Stat utes, providing that when an officer or private ot the militia or volunteer corps shall die in the service of the United Btstes, his widow and children shall be entitled to receive for five yean bnlf the monthly pay to which the deceased was entitled at the time of his death. If this law ia still operative, regardless of later pension acU—and that is a question for the courts—it is estimated that at least $30,000,000 wilt have to be paid under it to the families ot those who died in the Fed eral service daring the war. Sometime since, in Texas, one man shot another, and was triad, convicted and pun ished tor assault. After the sentence had ' been carried into effect the victim died. The eurvivor was arrested, tried and con victed of mansUughter. To the objection that ha had been already punished once for bis offense, the Court of Appeals has finally decided as follows: "There never can be the crime of murder or manslaughter, un til the party assaulted dies; these crimes have no existence in fact or law till anch death. It cannot, therefore, be said that one ia tried for the same crime when he fried tor assault during the life and tried r murder or manslaughter after the death The Secret of Our Kailnre. Tho year ia drawing rapidly to n close. Its lessons have been varied nnd impor tant. Some of those are already forgotten. In a financial sense it was ushered in with hope. It will end in disappointment to all, while to many it has brought disaster and and will leave some in despair. To the people of Georgia it has been full of vicissitudes. As late as September they were buoyed up with the prospect of large crops and good trade, in which every inter est was to participate. The present is full of depression anil it is doubtful if any year in the past ten has ended so unfavorably. In this respect it is not nnlike many ot its predecessors. We have been as hopeful before and as much disappointed between an'icipation and results which were asper ated only by a few short months. Repeat d experiences of this kind have made little impression upon our people, so far ns any practical tendency is yet devel oped, to trace these effects to proper causes, or apply to the evil back of them efficacious remedies. Without stopping to examine the basis of onr conclusions, we ore prone to accept the hackneyed proposition that we do not prosper because the farmers raise cotton and go in debt. This proposition would be partially true and partially false if applied to our agricultural interest alone. As ap plied to other interests, outside of agricul ture, it is totally false. If our dealers in supplies ol all kinds and those who furnish the capital to raise each crop of cotton and which to a large extent is advanced before the crop is planted, oould not sell on time or lend to the far mers, what wonld the former do for sup port? There is no other interest to which they could go for the employment of their capital. This system may entail poverty upon agriculture, but whs* it losos goea to other classes here, nnd, computing the loss es and gains of ail of these together, the far mer's poverty or want of business capacity, by reason of which hcraisos cotton and goes in debt, does not account for the financial weakness of all cljisses ; does not expluin in any satisfactory way, why we Bhonld have been so hopeful of a prosperous season three mouths since, nnd aro involved in anch universal depression now. There has been no decline in the yield of cotton or its price, npon conservative esti mates then, to warrant the change that is npon ns now. The troablo to our mind is plain. The cotton crop represents about all we have for sale oa an evidence of la bor expended in its production. Tho ag. riculturul labor of tho State never knows the wages for which it works until the cot ton crop is sold. It so happens that an average crop at present prices will not sus tain a rate of wages to agricultural labor sufficiently high to prosper this and every other interest. To this fact the de pressed condition of all interests in Georgia attributable. It is well known that the labor expended npon the farms and plantations of Georgia does not represent the population or con sumers npon the farms and plantations, We venture to say that for every odnlt farm laborer there are two adult consumers npon the farms and plantations of Middlo and Southern Georgia. In addition, the country, the villages, towns anil cities are (all of idlers, who ere also consumers. Legitimate trade and those legitimately employed there in, the professions, teachers and the clergy constitute another large element which, though useful and necessary, is not produc tive in the sense that labor is productive when nsefnlly employed. The unemployed consnmen • npon tho farms and plantations, the idiom in conn- try, village, town and city, those engaged in legitimate trade, the professions, teach ers, the clergy, eta., era all dependent for employment, for bosineos and profit npon what the productive labor of the State earns. As this labor is engaged mainly in agricul tnro, and in ratio to popnlation is small, and mnst have its wages determined by the quantity and price of onr cotton crop, and sa the crop is not over an average one, and the price is low, it mnst be seen that it has not earned enough to bring universal pros perity to;tbe State, and this iswhj we are not prospering. We can never succeed to great financial power as a people upon onr present system. Onr population is spares. A small per centage of this popnlation is engaged in productive labor, and andor conditions that render it certain that this labor can never earn more than low wages. A large percentage of onr population is idle, while a still huger percentage is unproductive. Onr idle and unproductive population are consnmen, and mnst be sustained by what productive labor we employ, and our pres ent condition is about as favorable as we can attain with so few laborers and so many idlers, non-producer* and consum era. To grasp the situation is easy enough, and with equal facility and certainly a proper remedy can he suggested for the evil. It to be fonnd in the employment of onr idle classes in other industries than that of agri culture, by which they shall be made not only self-sustaining bnt productive. Dependence upon cotton alone is depend ence alone npon the labor that produces cotton. We want other labor employed on other products. We want other pro ducers —mechanical and in manufacturing, whose time is now wasted in idle! whose wages shall add to the purchasing power of onr popnlation. When this revo lution shall take place in our industrial or ganism we shall have formed a basis prosperity that will not collapse in the presence of a ten per cent falling off in the yield of a cotton crop or the same decline in its price. A Hanging Election. Judge Thomas W Thomas, who was nn original thinker and talker, used to claim thnt he had a sovereign remedy for getting rid of had citizens anil much of the expense attendant upon the execution of onr crimi nal laws. His proposition was os follows: He proposed that in every county, on the first day of January of each year, nn elec tion should he held for two individuals to be hanged. Every qualified voter should be permitted to vote lor whatsoever candi dates he pleased so that they were citizens of the county. He contended that the peo ple would drop on tho right men with uner ring certainty, nnd tlmt so soon as a man fonnd he was running well he wonld immediately See to parts unknown before tho votes were counted. This would rid the community of tough citizens, and save the coarts the time, trouble and expense of arresting, imprison ing and trying them. Barring that this is a trifle unconstitutional, it has much in it to recommend it. Judge Thomas has been dead these many years, but his plan has lived after him, and it is proposed to try it in n somewhat mod ified form. In the early part of the present year, not only New Orleans, bnt the entire country was shocked, by the most brutal and re volting murder of a police justice of that Oh. 'a open daylight by a gang of ward politicians. The indignation and excitement were great, and under the demands of the press the murderers were brought to trial. Everything thnt money and inflncnco conld accomplish was exerted to secure an acqnittnl, One mistrial was the result of a bribed jury, but finally justice prevailed, and one was sent to the penitentiary for life and two others were sentenced to be hanged. Immediate and importunate appeals were made to the Board of Pardons. The cases were carefully reviewed twice and the board cpnldHnd no reason for interference. Then the Governor was approached, and at the last moment granted the doomed men respite of thirty days. Upon the expira tion of the respite the Governor has granted them another thirty days, hut accompanies with the declaration that this in the last, the Board of Pardons shall again re fuse to interfere. New Orleans is abont as much excited again, as on the day of the assassination. The Picayune of that city says editori ally: A great wrong to our community has already been dons, and ws might aay an almoat Irreparable Injury inflicted in tbs mmgnltnde ot official resist, anco to tho jnst punishment of official criminals, At all events.

The most unique display of rdnsswork ever placed on exhibition in this city is to be seen here this season. For volume that of tho Centennial Exhibition surpassed it, but that, largo as it was. was wanting in a display of cameo glass, which at that time was not made. The Vienna exhibition of 1873, tho grant Philadelphia exhibition of 1876 anil the Paris exposition of 1878 exer cised a particularly stimulating effect upon the application of art in the produc tion both of glass nnd pottery. The latter industry felt the fliBt impulse of this influ ence, and has made gieut strides of late, more particular attention having been paid to the artistio manipulation of glass, result ing in the restoration of the ancient art of making cameo glass. Taken together with the improved methods of cutting glass in handsome patterns, and of tinting tho work to resemble the finest porcelain, the art may he said to have attained a ne'v birth. These improvements hove created a new and greater demand for this new invention in glass iu every country. A magnificent collection of tho choicest specimens of all varieties is to be soon as a part of tho Christmas attractions ot Messrs. Dailey, Banks A Biddle. Cut glass, table ware and decorative articles of American manufacture alone, appear in eighteen dif ferent patterns of catting, while there are some English specimens of the same kind of manufacture. English, French and German tinted and iridescent glass is repre sented by many perfect specimens. Several kinds of them have been originated by Mr. Joseph Bailey. Among the finest articles in glass fancy- goods ever imported for ladies' boudoirs are the Limoges enamels, upon glass, which are S renounced by connoisseurs tasteful and ainty. They consist of little flower-holders, ewel-boxes, tiny vases, ornaments nnd cab- net pieces of various kinds, cachou-holders and boutonneires. Cameo glass has been so fully described and has become so fashionable that de scription here is unnecessary. The display of the productions of the beautiful art seems to have so far been under the exclu sive control of tho Bailey, Banks A Biddle establishment this season. This is some what unusual, considering the eagerness with which any new and admirable fabric is welcomed by the liberal patrons of art in this city nnd vicinity. Tho confidence in Philadelphia taste which inspired tho im- lortatious has been fully justified in the urge sale of these goods so early in the sea son. long hair caught in the shafting at a shop in Collinsville. She was trented by local physicians, nnd not until a month after the accident was Hhe brought to the jiospital. The scalp was found wholly stripped, off, together with the skin down to tho eyelids; there was inflammation of tho surface of skull, with some granulation. The smit ing process was adopted nnd hundreds of bits of skin, removed from the arms of dif ferent persons, were used. _ When a watery discharge followed a grafting the bit of skin was removed and a new one snbstitntcd. The formation of new skin encircled the lower part of the skull, nnd evidences of healing pointed to ttie success of tho experiment. However, the woman was careless, nnd several weeks ago partly destroyed the growth by striking her bend against tho bottom of n raised window sasli, tearing apart the adhering skin anil quite destroying the result of the surgeon's work of many weeks.

"I am told, sir,” said the man, "that down in Georgia yon actually work poor ne groes to the plow, instead of mules or horses. Is that true, sir?” Mr. Toombs looked like a man hit hard, but asked; -‘Do you know the cost ol a negro man, sir?” "Oh, yes,” was the reply, “from $1,000 np to $1,500, for human flesh, sir. Man's horrid trade in man!” Said Mr. Toombs: “Will $900 do for an average?” “Yes, sir,” said the man; “I think we may say thnt."

In the meantimo the personal nnd politi cal friendaol the condemned men are writ ing letters, and signing petitions to tho Gov ernor, praying that all proceedings be stop ped, nntil every citizen ot the city has an opportunity to express his opinion on the issne. Substantially it is proposed to adopt Jndge Thomas's plan nnd virtually to huvo an election. Now Orleans has for some time been a very lawless city, and it ia feared that if these men are permitted to escape righteous punishment, that it will be long before law and order can be formally established there. At this distance,we incline to tho opinion that if the plan of Jndge Thomas were tried the men wonld be hanged, lmt it is's very easy matter to get men to sign petitions for anything, vide the present state official* of Georgia and the late Legislature. the most curious is that styled Venetian. Nearly all the articles are from the great houso of Sulviutti, which, in enterprise and fertility of invention and steadfast adhe rence to superiority in quality, is the lineal successor of the famous glass-workers of medieval Venice. Its productions aro cele brated throughout the world for ingenuity of form nnd charming effects of color. Of these there are grouped here beakers, cups, ewers, goblets, bowls, pitchers and flagons, colored, gilded and enameled in all con ceivable variegation, decorated with ribbon- ings, stripings, groining and clouding, and in all shapes of beauty and grotesquenesa. The handling of those whose attractions lies the latter quality is marked with con summate skill. One curious fanny of a de signer is given free scope in a flagon repre senting a goose being strangled by a ser pent. The goose is standing upright, and forms the body of tbo piece, while part of tho serpent's body makes the handle. The unity of tho composition is striking. In none of the grotesque figures are the bounds of good tasto ever overstepped, while iu many instances a mere suggestion of oddity is introduced with delicate taste and pleasing effect.
