The New York Herald puts it neatly,
thus: “Has the Senate any more right to
require ot the President hie reasons for re-
movala than the President has to require of
the Senate its reaaone for rejections?”
Ex-Gov. Ckittkndkn, of Missouri, de
sired to go abroad. Senator Vent wrote
him: “When Cockrell named yon the
President said he conld not entertain the
idea; that in the East yon were believed to
to havo bargained with the Fords for the kill
ing of Jesse James, and whether true or not
he conld not shoulder public opinion on the
subject. We endeavored to explain tin-
matter, but he was very firm and cut us off
with tho remark that he ‘could not think
of it' I think you ought to know this in
justice to Cockrell, anyhow. I have not
given all the conversation, but the above ie
the substance of it." Tho ex-governor is
mad, and takas occasion to say sp.
Jnnx Logan aspires to bo a historian, and
yet he says no man who over served as
Senator bccawo President. John's infor
mation is as bad as his grammar. Seven
different persons have been elected Presi
dent who had previomly served in tho
Senate—lames Monroe, 17'JO-'.tl; John Q.
Adame, 1803 3, Andrew Jackson, twice,
1897-8. and 1823-1 ; Martin Van Bnren,
1821-8; William Henry Harnson, 1825-8;
Franklin Pierce, 1837-42, and James
Buchanan, 1834-13. John Tyler and An
drew Johnson, eaoh elected Vice-President
with the view of his becoming President in
thn event of the death of that officer (which
ocourred), had previously served as United
States Senators—Tyler, 1827-33 ; Johnson,
1857-83.
Senator Vance says the bill he has in-
trodncod repealing the civil service law
antright will be fonnd to have more sup
porters than is generally supposed now be
fore Congress adjourns. He says there are
a good many Democrats and some ltepnbli-
cans who agree with him that the only w{y
to make the elvil service law satisfactory to
the people of the country is to strike every
word of it ont of the statnto kooks, IIo is
confident that he can get a good following
on both sides of the Senate if he can get
his bill before that body for action. A
gentleman who is informed abont the views
of Senator Logan, says Vanco is right so
far us the Illinois Senator Is conoornod, as
Logan would not hesitate to vote for a re
peal bill.
“In my
The First Skirmish.
Congress is patting on s little more-life.
After the delivering of sundry speeches on
pensions, in which various members en
deavored to put in as much buncombe as
possible, the parties in tho House joined in
the first real exciting partisan skirmish.
Mr. Herbert, who led the Democrats,
behaved admirably, and Mr. Wise bore off
the honors of the debate. It is gratifying
to know that the Democrats were right, and
that they made this appear very clearly to
the country. They were in their places
when called for, end thus con
tributed to the victory. It does not yet
appear if this was the resnlt of discipline,
or whether the brawny whipper-in, Ike Hill,
gathered the vote from committee rooms,
saloons snd other less reputable resorts,
the fact that the Democratic majority was
there and available is a good sign, especi
ally so when it is more than doubtful if the
Democratic majority of the House has won
the active sympathy of a so-called Demo
cratic administration. Heretofore in con
tests between Democrats and Republicans,
the first have illustrated the militia and
the latter the regulars.
Tho attempt of the Bepnblicans to open
a partisan debate was indefensible, and in
the skirmish which followed, they were nn
horsed and shamefully pnt to flight. The
careless observer would probably not see
more than this in it. Bat there was a show
:) rancor and temper that utterly drowns
II the twaddle abont the death of section
alism. The Republican party is as sectional
as ever, and only lacks the power and op
portunity to relegato the South again to
military rnle.
The wish expressed to tear down the
monuments erected to the Southern dead
shows up in its true light tho Northern
heart. There may ho a presB here and there
that will attempt to pooli pooh this whole
proceeding, but the Republican party in
the House on Friday last correctly repre
sented the Republican party of the North,
including the deserting Mugwumps. It is
a galling reflection to the Nortli that aided
by the hired hirelings from the four quarters
of the globe it was enabled to force the
South down and to rob and insult it, bnt
was nnable to crush the manhood of its
people.
The monuments erected to the Southern
dead, illustrative of a righteous cause,
will stand, until distroyed by time. They
were erected by people, whose descendants
are capable of preserving their work. The
South has shown a willingness to forget
nnd forgive, bat it cannot bo forced into
dishonorable denials. The government has
exhausted the large stock of cannon, can
non halls, muskets and bayonets left over
from (he war, in building monuments to the
hirelings who did the fighting of tho North.
The South is quite willing that theso ahull
stand, and that the jnstieo and merits of
tho quarrel shall be arbitrated by the pcoplo
of ooiulng generations.
Dn. Fallen of St. Louis says:
opinion tho practice of medicine will be
revolutionized within the next few years.
We will live to see tho student and success
ful practitioner of to-day retire altogether
from th« actual practice of medicine, and
establish himself as a consulting physician
oiiy The learned snrgeon or physician of
the future will devote more time and at
tention to the prevention than to the care
of disease. It is no great trick to learn to
set a fractured hone or prescribe a dose of
salts. Such things will bo below tho great
doctors of mediaine, and will he relegated
to a class of practitioners about on a par
with what are now called nurses. Hygiene
and sanitation will be the study of the
physician of the fntnre. Of course lie
must have a knowledge of drugs, anatomy,
physiology and such matters, but his of-
flee will be that of a consultant. The bone-
setters and drug-preseribers will lay their
caaes before him, and he will advise them
pretty mnch as the advice of an old estab
lished counselor at law is sought by nn at
torney* The great question of the future
will not bo so mnch tho core ss the preven
tion of disease."
To Mr. Itoiltellr, of Maine.
The only inscription upon the old war
eannon of the South, now legible, is that
written by tub hand of time in lottcra of
ivy and framed in flowors. The monu
ments of which you complain are dumb
testimonials reared by woman's hands to
preserve the memory of their dead. The
acton in the bloody struggles hnvo lain
down their arms for all eternity, and as the
yean roll on, company after company falls
asleep upon them.
Only lovo nnd hatred survive, tho love
that speaks In monuments and in patriot
ism; tho hatred that finds expression in
lies anil misrepresentations. Let the coun
try judgo betwoen the two.
Ferry Rklmont has gotten himself into a
scrape. A Washington special says: “There
are queer things turning up in the whirligig
-of time and none more qnecr, certain Dem
ocrats are saying now, than tho appoint
ment of H. Conquest Clark by Mr. Belmont
as clerk lo the committee of foreign affars.
Ten years ago Clark was before tho country
in tho suspected capacity of both forger and
perjurer in the great steal of the Presiden
cy. Clark was private secretary to Gov-
«rnor Kellogg, of Louisiana, and was inti-
mately concerned in fixing up the bogus
certificates presented at Washington before
the Electoral Commission. He was charged
with having forged ‘he name of LevUse
and another elector to the certificates and
swore that men signed them whose resi
dence was ont of New Orleans snd all the
circumstance* made it an apparent impossi
bility. In Gibson’s ‘Political Crime' Clark
is charged with both perjury and forgery in
so many words. From page 173, chapter
10, the history of Clark's share in tho lTra-
idential steal is given at length, along with
a review of the testimony. Democrats are
naturally indignant that a man writb such a
record, and especially upon the Hayes-Til-
den crime, should be selected by the Damo-
erotic chairman of a Democratic committee
^ a Democratic House for a position of
1 sod honor."
Tobacco culture.
Recently, an attempt has been made to
interest the farmers of Georgia in tho cul
tivation of tobacco. This is bailed with
pleasure, for every year demonstrates more
plainly, that we cannot support onr popu
lation upon the cultivation of cotton alone,
and grow prosperous and strong. Any
variation in our productive industries will
be welcome.
Tobacco was onco cultivated to a consid
erable extent in Georgia, until superseded
by cotton, and onr red lands stimulated by
commercial fertilizers should make tobacco
a paying crop.
Tho Commissioner of Agriculture is pre
pared to furnish Oronoco seed, with iu-
strnctious lor cultivation and curing. This
variety of tobacco, if properly cultivated
und cured, will make a fine article of
smoking tobacco, which cannot now be
found in the market.
Of late years there has been a disposition
to ent tobacco before fully ripe. This gives
a bright leaf, but the tobacco ia bitter, nnd
an infusion of colixnya bark, deer tongue
nnd other articles of a similar character
only adds to its offenaivenesa, when burned.
Tobacco when fully ripe is brown in color,
and has some sweetness in itself, and the
farmer who shall - raise smoking tobacco,
up to the old standard, will be amply re
paid for the ontlay of time and labor,
Georgia onght to make a considerable show
in tobacco culture during the proeent sea
son, and take a decided etep forward in the
diversity of crops.
crease of pension to the soldier,'^liis widow,
his heirs or some of bis descendants.
If this business increases in tho future
in the same proportion ss in the pest, tbis
country will not b) able to afford to go to
war with any foreign power. Not only the
fear of a new pension list will etand in the
way, but the government will not have
money sufficient to buy arms, ammuni
tion and rations.
In the bnmeombe debate of tho past
week in the House of Representatives the
fact wob elicited that there were now eigh
teen thousand names on the revolntionary
pension roll. During the debate, Mr. Mc-
Millen, of Tennessee, said:
“Now, if the bill becomes a law, what a
spectacle ie presented here! The three
hundred old veterans, who Buffered in tho
war of 1812, who did the marching and the
fighting, who spilt their blood and endured
fatigue, endured all the trials and troubles
incident to that warfare, will go on during
the rest of their lives drawing $8 a month
pension, while the widow that was mar
ried to his deceased comrade forty yiors
ago, and who possibly lived with him
but a very short time, goto
$1 a month. This i
injustice aginst which the amendment of
the gentleman from Ohio provides. It is
an injustice that cries aloud for a remedy.
We will do ourselves aud our constituencies
injustice if we fail to remedy it The
woman has mode some sacrifice who en
conraged her husband to go to the war and
was thereby deprived of the comfort of his
society and the help of his hand in the
Btrugglo of life. But what commensurate
sacrifice has sho made who did not marry
the soldier till years after the war closed?
And let mo repeat the question, what sacri
fice has she made that has placed her on a
higher plane of merit than the soldier him
self stands on?
Mr. Chairman, I have bnt little hope that
my views, or any other man’s upon this
floor, can materially affect the passage of
any pension bill. We sakr that the arrear
ages bill come forward here with a carefully
prepared statement that it wonld drain the
Treasury to the extent of about $20,000,000.
It bas come nearer, o- will come nearer be
fore we are done with it, to twenty times
$20,000,000. It has seemed to mo that if
you bring the House of Representatives
any pension bill it will pass. I have as
much respect for tho members as any man
can have; I have respect for their integrity,
for their ability, for their disinterestedness
of purpose in the main, but I have- never
yot seen the House brought to a vote on
any question of pensions, on a yea-and-nay
vote, when the bill failed to pass. If this
bill carried instead of a hundred thousand
pensioners a million of pensioners, when it
comes to the record the result will he the
same.
There are hundreds of men now drawing
pensions, who never heard a gun fire, or
saw a days service, and yet Congress
continually opening the door for more.
Two classes of soldiers are not yet pen
sioned, those of the Mexican and Black
Hawk wars. The pensioners are virtually
in control of the Government. No country
esn stand snch a strain, that grows, rather
than decreases, with the coming years.
It is particularly hard upon the Booth.
After tho war, she was gagged and robbed
by thieving agents and soldier bnmmcrs
of what little was left, and the government
laid and collected an unconstitutional tax
upon the cotton raised there. Justice would
demand that the proceeds of the sales
stolen property in the treasury and the cot
ton tax be credited to the Sonth upon pen
sion bills for the comfort of Northern sol-
diora. It is still nn open question, ns
whether we nro a nation of liars, but it
settled that we are a nation of pensioners,
know the names of all tho riversThat flow
into tho White Sea, bnt they neglect to
teach tho great cardinal facts about the
uako up of the earth and about the peoples
on it. They also neglect to teach the his
tory of the United States and of this State,
which every citizens of Connecticut ought
have knowledge of. They neglect—
shamefully neglect—to teach the children
how to use their own mother tongue.—
Lastly they do not sufficiently realize that
they con maintain order in their schools
much better by keeping their children busy,
and by tactfully varying tbeir occupitiore
os to keep them interested, than by the
most extensive use of ap;.l tree switches."
This condition of things is largely owing,
is believed, to the prevalence of the dis
trict system. The report says:
'By creating within onr towns from ten
to twenty little parasitic governments, par
tially independent in school affairs of one
another and of their towns, and by dividing
the dulios and responsibilities of school ad
ministration between town meeting and
district meeting, and between Bchool visitors
and district committees, we have vitally
impaired and paralyzed tho self-government
of onr towns, and have rendered a proper
management and control of schools im
possible or at least unlikely. “
Bat there is something more than expo
sure and criticism. The remedy for most
of the evils of the system is clearly pointed
out, and fortunately it is not a complicated
or difficult' one, consisting chiefly of the
abolition of the district system and the or
ganization and superintendence of the
schools by tho towns and cities acting as a
unit. Tho following graphic example of
how the district system ’8 worked is sug
gestive:
Some man goes to district meeting with
his hired man, his brother and his brother's
hired man, and perhaps one or two more
relatives or friends and gets elected district
committee for pnroly selfish purposes. He
does so in order to obtain the teacher's
wages for bis daughter, who is unfit to
teach, or, for another example, to secure
a teacher who will board with him and pay
him a good prico therefor. Snch operations
are far more common in these little neigh
borhood constituencies than without obser
vation we should have deemed possible.”
That the treasurer of the Grant monu
mental fund in St. Lonis has sent out
seven thousand circulars to Missouri and
received not one cent in return must strike
the rebellious South as a very curious caper
to be cut in a loyal State. Either Missouri
knew Grant or knows the aforesaid trees
nrer, seems a settled fact. Which ie it?
If, by some sudden convulsion of nature
everybody in the world should be killed,
except one man and woman, most of the
arts would be destroyed, but the male mem
bers of the generations that would spring
from this pair would leave the doors open
at the wrong time, and the females would
wear bangs. There are customs ingrafted
upon humanity that can only bo eradi
cated by the utter annihilation of the hu-
Damagu In Georgia.
In estimating tho damage to the orange
and frnit erop in Florida, the general
public seems to havo quite overlooked the
fact that Georgia has herself sustained an
immense loss in the way of mined oats.
Wo have it from reliable authority that ss
far south as Baker county the grouud was
frozen solid to the depth of five inches
Tbis beyond a doubt insures the destruc
tion of tho foil oats, and necessitates imme
diate preparations for replanting.
Georgia's oat clop has become a necessary
factor in tho welfare of the farmers, and
this backset ahould not dishearten them.
The loss in Florida is irretrievable; not so
tbe loss here. A little industry, and the
farmers will stand as beforo with the ex
ception ot tho first outlay for seed and
labor. This is gone forever.
It is tho generally accepted opinion that
severe winters are followed by good fruit
years. If 1886 proves no exception to the
rule, Georgia should produce nn over-
whelming crop of peaches, pears and straw
berries, and snch aro the circumstances,
theso products will not find tho markets
crowded. Her early vegetables also will
come into the market about the same time
the great body of Florida’s vegetables is
ready. Perhaps the enhanced values of Ul
these will recoup the State for the loss now
evident.
As a lost proposition, it may bo said that
if the germ theory is well founded, this year
will find tho State blessed in health.
The Kml uf Were.
Peace congresses and societies, diplomat
ic conferences, and cartels of military dig
nitaries, thongh often held, with good in
tentions no doubt, have failed to pnt an
end to wtn among civilized nations, or
even to have the rales of warfare respected
and enforced. The vandalism snd cruelties
of tbe war between the States and the Fran-
eo-Prnssian war, established the fact that no
perceptible advance has been made towards
a universal and popular peace, or the miti*
gallon of tbe rigors and hardship* of war.
But it may be that tbe millenium is ap
proaching, and in an nnexpected shape.
If anything can stop wan it will b« the
growing pension rolls, for, singular to ssy,a
pension roll never grows shorter. The larger
portions of the time a of onr Congress are
devoted to the pasaege of pension bills,eteh
bringing forward some new claim to an in-
rubtlc Schools.
Tbe pnblie school system of the Sonth is
modeled after that which has prevailed in
New England. Just now there is a prodi
gious effort being made to extend this sys
tem in the South, under the protection snd
direction of tho “paternal government.''
Before rushing blindly into tbis project
it may bo well enough to look buck and see
bow tbo system is doing in New England,
tho people of which section make them
selves chronically wretched over the wont
of educational facilities in the South.
It has already been shown in these col
umns that tho publio school sjstem of
Massachusetts ia in a very unsatisfactory
condition. Much money is spent and the
children are very hardly worked, but they
know little or nothing that can prove of
practical advantage to them.
Recently a high commission has looked
into the public school system of Connecti
cut, the land of steadj habits, good morals
and all other excellencies. Wo give the
best part of the report of this commission,
os compiled by the Roston Advertiser.
Anybody who will take occasion to read it
carefully will see that we have about the
same state of affairs here.
There ore, sajrs the commission, too many
school houses unfit to be used. The at
tendance of large classes of pnpils is irreg
ular and insufficient; there is too little good
teaching, and too much that is very, very
poor; because the teachers are ignorant and
do not know what or how to ter k, and in
many cases do not know what they attempt
to teach. The answers given to questions
about common school studies by some per
sons who are at present teaching in the
schools of Connecticut reveal blank abysses
of ignorance, which in n teacher are uppall-
ing to contemplate. Of the 406 persons
examined for teachers only seventy passed
well enongh to receive a certificate of tbe
lowest grade, although the examinations
were by no mean* difficult for any one who
is fit to teach. Tho subject of teaching is
discussed at much length, snd the follow-
lift picture of the condition of things it
given;
“Teachers insist that the children shall
learn lists of things of no possible interest
to them snd which they nevet will remem
ber. They insist that the children shall
A Ilemarkable Proceeding.
Tho New York Sun says:
“It appears that the inquiries by the Hen
ate committees into the causes of remo vals
from office have been signed by the Demo
cratic Senators as well as by the Republi
cans. ”
There are certain so-called Democratic
Senators, who owe their scats to Republi
cans, and who bare very dear Republican
friends in olfice, whom they are anxious to
protect.
Aud this is one of the main reasons why
Democrats are not looked upon with favor
by the present administration. As the Re
publican Senators will not accept Mr. Clevo
land's invitation to go up to the White
House and talk over the appointments, he
can do the country und the Democratic
party signal service by making public the
names of the Democratic Senators who have
called upon him for his reasons for dis
placing Republican officials.
Judge Bbeweb, Uned itStatee Judge for
Kansas, has recently delivered a decision
which is of interest to prohibitionists. It
was in the case of a brewery. “All that I
hold is that property within the meaning of
that amendment includes both the title and
the right to nee. That when the right to
use in a given way is vested in a citizen, it
cannot be taken from him for the pnhlio
good without compensation. Boj-ond any
donbt tbe State cun prohibit defendants
from continning their business of brewing,
bnt before it can do so, it mnst pay the
value of the property destroyed.
As amusing bnt disgraceful scene oc
curred in the New York General Assembly
on Wednesday. As the Speaker declared
the House adjourned the clerk bawled out
in stentorian tones: “I have a package of
passes here for the members of the House,
who will come np and please get them."
Then he proceeded to call out the members'
names. Many of the old members, aston
ished ot the proceedings, which were
unique as they were startling, remained seat
ed, bnt tbe new members rashed np to the
desk. At one time a line ten feet deep
surged in front of the clerk’s desk, like so
many hungry wolves howling for provend
er. The some scene may be witnessed at
tho opening of every Georgia Legislature.

ing bilLt, and said; ‘Mr. President, through
a failure on my part to be here when the
Senate went into exeentive seasion Mr. Htro-
bach has been confirmed, but yon ere not
nnder any obligation to appoint him.' Mr.
Hayes said that was not so clear to him as
it appeared to Senator Morgan, aud ho
thought he was obliged to do so. The Sen
ator insisted that he was right, and conld
convince him of it if he had time. Mr.
Hayes declined to listen. 'Then,' said Sen
ator Morgan, 'my duty in tbs premises is
cl-jar. We have agreed to adjourn at s cer
tain hour to-morrow. I will proceed to the
Senate and taik against time nntil that hour
arrives, defeat every pending bill, and, in
conclusion, give my reasons for doing so.
Unpatriotic ss it may appear to yon, I will
sorely do as I say.' Mr. Hayes thought for
a moment, and then said if he was not
bonnd to appoint Mr. Htrobecb, although
be had been confirmed, he would not do eo.
He did not, and General Bnckley was sp-
pointed during the recess, subsequently
confirmed, end held the office until a short
time ego.
