Notice.
M. A. Westmoreland, a one-legged man
who has been traveling over the country
claiming sometimes to be an agent and at
others to be an editor of the Teleobaph
a*d Messenger, is in no way connected
with the paper. Any representations to
that effect are false and fraudulent
H. C. Hanson, Manager.
irrespective of the party that might bo in
power, a practice by which importunate
office-seekers, without other qualifica
tions, were quietly and satisfactorily
disposed of. Upon the coming of each
administration into power, it is known
that many men aspire to and seek posi
tions for which they are not at all qual
ified. They urge in their own behalf
long and faithful party service, and
sometimes become embarrassing to
those who dispense the official pap,
Some clever genius invented a plan to
dispose of many of these people, at once
simple and safe. The rural statesman
in question generally desires a foreign
appointment of high degree, in which
the outfit and annual compensation arc
liberal, and the duties correspondingly
light. In place of the appointment de
sired, this rural statesman is given a
political indorsement. The Secretary
of State tenders him the mission to
England, France, Russia, Spain, Aus
tria or some lesser power, having first
received his declination of the post in
writing. Then the administration jour-
clusion that we are to have a rattling
r.ice between Mr. Blount, the present
incumbent, and Mr. Hardeman, the
present Congressman at large. They
arc both adroit campaigners. Harde
man is the older and heavier of the
two, but it is believed he has lost none
of his speed and bottom. It is not yet
known whether Mr. Ockington will be
brought into the field.
A Favorable Sian
Among the most noteworthy converts
The only strange thing in connection
with the projected Macon and Florida
Air-Line railroad is that it was not built
years ago.
The efforta of the TiLEORAm and Mes-
senoeu in the interest of industrial enter
prises in Georgia meet with earnest and
enthusiastic rcsponsca on the part of tho
people.
The views of Bishop Fierce on tho Mor
mon question arc vastly more worthy of
support by Georgia Democrats than those
of denator Brown. The Bisiiop lr- evi
dently a wiser atatcsmnn than tho Sena
tor.
Tns renegade son of Henry A. Wise has
again essayed to explain his explanation
before the Sherman investigation com.
mittce. Even a Virginia Readjustcr ought
not to require two trials to enable him to
swear to the truth.
It is possible to presume too strongly on
the necessary solidity of tho Sooth as a
factor in Presidential contests. The Dem
ocratic margin in some of the Southern
States is very small. It would be well not
to aubjert party faithfulness to too great
strain by incorporating wild theories into
the party platform, or by placing upon it,
at standard bearers, even the most respec
table relics of antiquity.
Papers that hold up the Republican par
ty to icomfut censure because of the pre
valence of ring methods and boas rule in
all its deliberations, ought to be very cha
ry about defending just such methods and
just such rule in their own party conven
tions. The Democratic party in Georgia
is as sadly afflicted with bouiira and ring
rule as is thy Republican party in the lit
tle rotten-borough of Rhode Island.
It it impossible, as a matter ol course,
for a man to manufacture all that he con
sumes. Itlsn’tpossiblefortbistobedone
within the limits ot any one State. Still,
the truth remain's ttat it is better for every
man that all be needs should be produced
as near as possible to bis home. The
dwellers In s given city arc benefitted by
every industrial enterprise that eprings up
In its midst, in a aense in which they are
not benefitted by a similar enterprise in
distant State. So plain a point doesn'
need to be argued.
There are many droves ot Kentucky and
Tennessee horses and mules In Georgia,
and the people are buying these animals
at good round prices. It wUl take many
bsles ft cotton to pay for them. This will
cut dowu the profits of the next cotton
crop, an J convince some people of the
-imi-oAsibility of making money by raising
cotton." Some people want a thirty mil-
lion-dollar-cotlon crop to pay for forty
million dollars’ worth of supplies, and
leave the farmers independently rich be
side-.-- and it isn’t going to do it.
nals are permitted to publish the fact
that the Honorable so and so, has been
tendered this or that mission, and on
account of business, family or political
reasons, has been compelled to decline
the honor and service. The rural
statesman has received his reward, and
returns to his constituency, a notable
man, having had the nerve and patriot
ism to decline honors thrust upon him,
The administration has regarded its
friends and the party has been vindi
cated.
Mr. Dana has undertaken to sug
gest a rather difficult role to the
national Democratic convention, to as
semble in Chicago, in July next. The
proposition is without precedent and
is therefore novel and startling. It is
proposed that the convention shall or
ganize fully, construct a platform and
and nominate Mr. Tilden for the Presi
dency. All further business is then to
be suspended, until the regularly ap
pointed committee shall wait upon Mr,
Tilden, inform him of the action of the
convention and receive* his response,
The scheme is not wanting in ennning
diplomacy. The idea is suggested that
Mr. Tilden having been fully vindicat
ed by the action of the convention,
will decline on account of bad health
and that the convention will then pro
ceed to make another nomination. We
have characterized the proposed
role as difficult. It wilt
cur to the most thoughtless that
a Democratic convention, which has
many of the ■ characteristics oi a mob,
cannot be held together after its main
duty is discharged. During the inter
val that must elapse for the necessary
negotiations, tho machinery which Mr.
Tilden commands may be put in mo
tion to raise such a popular clamor for
his acceptance that he might be over
persuaded. As the New York World
suggests, this thing has the air of a
dress parade, bnt dress parades are
least harmless when they aro most in
earnest. If Mr. Tilden desires to go
through this grand transformation
scene, to end his political career
amid red lights and the crash
of brass bands, tho party might
yield to the fancy of a faithful servant.
But in order that there shall bo no un
pleasant catch in the proceedings,
would it net be safo and prudent to
havo tho resignation of Mr. Tilden in
writing beforo the performance begins.
The Democratic party as a unit is quite
willing to accord Mr. Tilden a political
indorsement even in this shape. It is
honestly divided as to the wisdom and
policy of selecting as a leader in a des
perate and doubtful fight one whoso
physical and mental health gives no
assurance of success.
to the doctrine of protection, as against
free trade, must be included the Atlanta
Constitution and tho New York World.
U p to a recent period both of these
able journals were classed with the
advocates of free trade, or tariff reform.
Xo reason is assigned for their unex
pected but gratifying change, and we
do not care to inquire into the cause of
It is enough to know that both
these journals have aligned themselves
with the Telegbai'H and Messenger
and other friends of a well-digested and
judicious protective tariff system, and
that they are strenuously opposed to
the supreme folly that would hold out
the idea of gaining votes from the
Republican party on a free trade
record.”
We were wont to regard the argu
ments with which the Constitution and
the B'orld formerly maintained the
other side of the question as able and
ingenious; but now that the scales have
been struck from their eyes, they are
enabled to apprehend the truth more
clearly, and to present an array of
facts and reasons against their old
position that are conclusive, if
not irresistible. We are glad that
our esteemed contemporaries did not
permit the pride of opinion to stand in
the way, and we sincerely trust that
other Democratic journals in Georgia,
in imitation of the Constitution, will
take position in favor of home indus
tries and American labor.
Of all the cities in Georgia, if not in
the South, Atlanta should be foremost
in support of reasonable protection.
It has a greater number and variety of
industrial enterprises and manufactur
ing establishments than any city in the
State. These enterprises are small at
present, but they can only multiply and
attain their full proportions under the
fostering care of the government.
Tho old,and wealthy establishments
at the North do not stand so much in
need of protection as the younger and
weaker enterprises in the South. That
the Constitution now fully appreciates
this fact, and sees the folly of inaugu
rating a free trade crusade upon the
eve of a presidential election, which
must end in disaster to the Democratic
party, is a canse of sincere congratula
tion to thoughtful men in all parts of
the country. We aro rejoiced to infer
that the reported differences upon the
tariff question in the editorial staff of
that journal, havo been composed, and
that its able support will hereafter bo
given to home interests and home la
bor.
Left-Handed Eloquence.
A Washington correspondent of the
Hartford, Conn. Times writes to that
journal that‘‘Cannon,of Illinois, is tho
only Representative who always gesti
culates with his left hand.” This is
perhaps correct, for Cannon invariably
uses his left hand and may be a left-
handed man. But it has been consid
ered for several years past among the
members of the lower house not to be
in “good form’.’ if the left hand did not
play a prominent part in Congressional
oratory. It is an imitation of some
body who set the pace and is becom
ing a general affectation. Cannon lets
his left arm fly like a flail on all occa
sion i lie is a plain and earnest sort
of a man and the gesture is natural
with him. Garfield affected it and was
always awkward in the effort. Joe
Blackburn took it up with more nerve
and grace and even Congressman
Blount indulges himself in the diver
sion in a shy and bungling style occa
sionally.
No man in the House who is not a
born orator can gain any reputation as
one without “letting his left fly” in
the vernacular of the prize ring. Tho
narrow aisles which furnish limited lo
comotion to speakers make the left-
handed pumping ungainly and danger
ous, for the sharp edges of the desks on
either' side continually threaten the
knuckles. But the other day we no
ticed that Hatch, of - Missouri,
who is a podgy person with great beam
and short arms, had whipped his cuff
to the finger points on his left hand, as
he threw off eloquent periods as to cow
pneumonia.
It requires natural gifts, patience,
study, patriotism and experience to
make a statesman, but, even with all
of these qualities combined, a man will
fail in tiie House of Representatives if,
likSthe Hon. Joint Longfellow Sullivan,
of Boston, he is not dexterous with his
left hand. The day is coming when the
ambi-dexterous man will rash to the
front.
FROM WASHINGTON.
Programme of the Free Traders and the
Dominant Whisky Ring*
Special correspondence*!
Washington, March 3.—In my last let
ter I failed to reach the situation in Con
gress on the tariff question, as involving
the prospects of tue Democratic party in
the coming Presidential election. Tho
dominant faction of the party, as repre
sented by Speaker Carlislo and Messrs.
Morrison, Hurd, Mills, Blount and other
free traders on the committee of ways and
means, purpose to reduce the duties on
foreign products as much and often ns
they dare to do, it is very probable that
they would cut the list half in two now,
if they felt assured the House would sus
tain them, and that the country
would sustain the House. While
we accord to these men honesty of judg
ment in their direct war upon the '
PRODUCTIVE INDUSTRIES
of the country, yet the fact is apparent to
every man who has given a thought to the
industrial condition upen which our pros
perity depends, that they could not pro
ceed in a more direct line in this work, if
their real and avowed purpose was to
transfer to the other side of the Atlantic
our factories and workshops, and deprive
revenue system owes each succeeding day
of its existence. In its interest the pro
ductive industries of the country
are threatened with competition
from foreign labor, and the labor of the
country to reduction of wages at first, and,
ultimately, enforced idleness.
The ring dominates the party in the
House, ana the dominant faction in the
House is seeking to commit the party
to the perpetuation of the internal rev
enue svstem and the destruction of our
manufacturing industries in tho inter
est of the whisky ring.
Present indications point to the com
mittal of the Democratic party, first to low
tariff and second to continuation of tho
internal revenue system. Upon such a
record made by its majority in the House,
its defeat cannot be doubted. J. F. II.
MACON AND FLORIDA AIR-LINE.
How Tilden Talks,
A Texas delegation has been to
Washington recently. One of them
went over to New York to see Mr. Til
den, and makes the following report of
his visit:
Another Presidential Po.ilbUhr.
Among the probable candidates for the
Presidency, Mr. Roswell P. Flower, ot
New York, has been mentioned. He is a
banker of large means, of irreproachable
character and a good record in the forty
seventh Congress, of which he was a meru

Atlanta Political Ooselp.
The newspapers and correspondents
of Atlanta who undertake to enlighten
the country os to the political outlook,
are very busy just now.
A few days ago, it was confidently
stated that the candidates for Congress
in the fifth district, were Messrs.
Hammond, Jackson, Boynton, Stewart,
and Livingston. It is now given out
with quite as much confidence, that
Boynton will not enter the race, hut may
become a candidate for Governor—that
Stewart will not be a candidate, and that
Livingston will not, but the latter will
seek the position of Railroad Comrnis-
siencr now held by ex-Govtrnor Smith.
This would reduce the race to Ham
mond and Jackson, and the result of
the contest lias already been settled
by the journals and correspondents
aforesaid.
There is much gossip also with re
gard to the gubernatorial succession.
Governor McDaniel, we arc assured,
will be a candidate for re-election.
Judge Simmons it mentioned as a
probable contestant, and now Colonel
Boynton ia suggested as a possi
ble aspirant for the nomination. The
name of Hon. Wm. E. Smith, of Alba
ny, the only Democratic Congressman
from Georgia who voted against the
electoral commission, has also been
mentioned as a suitable man for the
office. .
Savannah, Augusta, Athens, Rome,
Atlanta, Crlumbus—all the rest of the
State, Indeed—seem to have no “favor
ite son” whose flag they, care to throw
to the breeze. It la not impossible,
however, that other names will be pre
sented in due season, but of this we
have no certain information.
The gossips do not confine them
selves to the fifth Congressional
district and the gubernatorial nomina
tion. Some attention is vouchsafed
to the ninth district, and now and then
a psraprapbic shot is aimed at Mr.
Cawller, the present incumbent. There
are some people, unfortunately,who will
never forgive Candler for beating Em
ory Speer.
Bosov Butter.
A committee of the New York Legis
lature is now making an inquiry into
the bogus butter trade, and some fear
ful discoveries have already been made,
as witness tho following evidence:
tieorge llildobrand, a commission dealer In
produce in the city, wu the ftret wiiucai. Ho
teatlflcd that he sells about lit tub* ol coun
terfeit butter a day, on commlulon. When he
receive* the stuff it 1* branded only with the
shipper's mark. It !* branded oleomargarine
In the witness 1 * store. The butterine as well
u the other I* branded oleomargarine. He
brand* the butterine oleomargarine because
he thinks tt beat to do *o. The witness favored
the committee with the current priceaof oleo
margarine and butterine, which be said were
from 19 to It cents and from 90 to 91 ccntato
the rctaUera.
J. B. Quinlan, grocer, testified that he sells
from five to seven tubs of the queer a week at
retail. When a child or anybody else comes
In and aaka for Ihlrty-ccnt butter, he sella
them bogus butter. Ills clerks have no In
structiona except to sell the stuff as oleomar
garine to persons who call for that compound.
He pays about MX cents a pound fur olcnmar-
garlne and baa sold It for butter for twenty-
eight cents a pound. He sella the spurious ar
ticle because he can make more money on It
than on butter.
If. Lanterty testified that he makes about
9,500,000 pounds of oleomargarine a year at hla
creamery. In ft be uses from fifty to seventy-
gallons of bonne off a day. This oil, be said,
la produced from the bonne plant, and la
highly prized by the natives of Africa, who use
it Internally and externally. Mr. Lanferty ex
plained his method of producing neutral lard
oil, such as la used In making butterine. He
said that in the Ice water into which tho otl
waa drawn to be cooled be put nitric acid—
about half an ounce to 900 gallons of water,
•phis, the witness said, waa the part of the
process which Mr. Robison, the swine-cream
ery man from Chicago, had refused to explain
to the committee on the preceding day. lie
guessed that there were twelve factories In
New York and Brooklyn, which make alto
gether about eighteen ml llloo pounds of oleo
margarine a year. The witness gave bis recipe
for making butter: 1,000 pounds of oleomarga
rine, 500 pounds neutralized lard, 10 gallons of
bcone oil, drawn into a churn with 500 or 000
pounds of milk and M ounces of coloring mat
ter, ehnmed and worked.
Other witnesses testified to the same
effect. It ia evident, from the testimo
ny, that very little real Northern bat
ter now finds its wav to consumers.
At the last session of our Legisla
ture an act was passed which requires
hotel and restaurant keepers to pnt up
a sign if oleomargarine, butterine and
other substitutes for butter are used in
their establishments. Dealers in such
commodities are also required to put
up a notice to the same effect. The
object of the act is to protect consum
ers against counterfeit butter. We
have never seen ono of these signs or
notice* about hotels and eating-houses,
though there is no doubt that spurious
articles are given to guests all over the
country. Will not grand juries and
other ministers of the law look into the
matter? Good batter is a luxury,
Adulterated butter la the wont article
ol food that finds its way to our table*.
Mr. Tilden received me very courteously.
He la very feeble, and ho impressed me with
the belief that his health was failing. Weak
as he appeared to be, however, he insisted
showing me all through the house, even to his
bed chamber. He told me, or rather he gave
distinctly understand that
was disappointed in not getting a nomi
nation again four years ago. He feels
he was unjustly dealt with iu 1676, but that
for tho peace of the country he did not in
sist upon his rights. I believe, from the
rersatton I hod with him, that he would like to
get the nomination again. He feels that it is
due him. His mind is strong, but be is very
hard of hearing, and he only whispers in con
versation. He holds your hand while he ls
talking to you, apparently to steady himself.
He docs not like Hendricks, and, from what
he told me, I do not think that he wants to
have Hendricks placed on the ticket again
with him. He told roe that he had been pretty
well all the post year, and up to about three
weeks ago. He complained of not feeling so
strong, but he felt that a Presidential nomina
tion was due him; he wants to be the candi-
natc again. There is no doubt inmymlud
about that. Ho gavo mo that impression in
one-half hour’s conversation. As 1 said before,
while Mr. Tilden appeared physically weak,
he is mentally very strong, and ho dis
played a wonderful knowledge of public af
fairs. We had no exchange of views on the
tariff, nor upon a party platform generally.
Whenever any subject enmo up be would re
vert to the fraud that was practiced upon him
In 1876, and every time he spoke of that he
seemed to feel very sore and as a sadly disap
pointed man.
80 far as I could learn, New York State is
solid for Mr. Flower if Mr. Tilden does not se
cure the nomination. The second place ls ex<
pouted to goto the Wc«t. which is expected to
make its’own choice The feeling ls roost gen
erally favorable to Mr. Hendricks for the see
ond place.’*
Interview With Colonel Lane-The Nar

Areporterof the Telegraph on yester

turned from Lake City, Florida, the ter

Colonel faid:

Free Trade vs. Protection.
An election has just been held in the
State of Kansas for a sucessor to Con
gressman Haskell, recently deceased.
The issue made in the contest was free
trade vs. protection. The protectionist
won by a majority of five thousand.
It has been contended that the great
West was for free trade pure and
simple. Kansas is one of the great
States of the West—* State noted for
her agricultural progress, and yet she
repudiates the nonsensical doctrine.
Sir. Morrison and Mr. Hurd may affect
to disregard this verdict, but it is to be
hoped that it* effect will not be lost on
the Southern Representatives who, by
following them, have endangered the
success of the Democratic party, if, in
deed, they have not destroyed it.
