Be yond the stampeding of a few timorouB souls who cannot staid to any convic tion two days in succession, and per mitting Mr. Tilden's pensioners and flunkies to slop over in evidence of their loyalty, it has accomplished lite rally nothing. The tariff issue is not retired, party harmony has not been appreciably advanced, and everybody is still awaiting developments that may produce marked influence upon future events, l'criodically, or we might say, spasmodically, these charges upon the part of Mr. Tilden’s partisans may he looked for up to the assemblage of the nominating convention. It will be impossible to convince sen sible and thinking men, that a man in Mr. Tilden’s condition can undertake the responsibilities of the Presidency with any hope of being able to discharge them. He has expressed this himself moyvthan once in unmistakable lan guage, and it is a cruel and heartless injustice to him to attempt to lay such a burden upon him now. With his consent he might have been nominated at Cincinnati in 1880. The party should not now compel him to take what lie then of his own free will form ally declined. It will not do for the Democratic party, which is united npon a common, sentiment of opposition to the centralizing tendencies of the Republican party, and in favor of local self-government, which has at its command a large numerical majori ty of the voters of the country, to be forced to the confession or admission, on the eve of battle, that on account of divisions on minor issues, there is but one man in its ranks worthy of leader ship, but one capable of leading it to victory, and be burdened with age and physical and mental infirmities. We present a picture of him from the pen of the reliable correspondent of the Washington Star. Who will say that, this man has the nerve and vitality to inaugurate and sustain such an admin istration as the Democracy must have on its accession to power? The corres pondent alluded to says of Mr. Tilden: injustice; for we should regret to be-1 Failure of tM Whisky Bill, lieve that he has exchanged I The very best day's work done dur- courts with Judge Hammond with j the present-session was accomplish the view of prosecuting more vigorously and advantageously his canvass tov Congress.

Mosday was as bright and beautiful a spring day aa ever came out of the ahopsof March. Tnx fellows that laugh most at the dig ging of cyclone pits would dive deepest into them at the coming of t)ic storm. The worst men in the United States are the Northern preachers who openly advo cate miscegenation. They are the enemies of both races and should be so treated. Tde members of the Salvation Army are reminded that l’aul and Silas were not rut in prison for beating drums, blowing horns and indulging In riotous conduct on the streets. Tiie man that plants by the almanac will sometimes find occasion to glean closely to fill even the “old bams.” The seasons vary, and wise men will vary with them—not knowing what a day may bring forth.

TtieTxuraRAroARDMzmtx- gek has made several suggestions on that mie, and is glad to see that the matter la at last taking hoM ot the people. Atlanta needs artealsn wells very badly. It would be monstrous to refuse justice to ell men. There may be differences of opinion as to what constitute!, justice; but no paper can afford to grant to any man, in public, or private life, less than its hon est conception ot what constitutes justice In hie behalf. Thr Mississippi river is again moving by way of the crevasses. Without some im provement in the outlets of the river, the doom of the plantations subject to over flow along the river banka, la only a ques tion of time. The river becomes more un manageable, year by year. Bixaiob Baowx'a vote against the ratifi cation o( the Mexican reciprocity treaty ■hows that he was indisposed to sacrifice the interests of the sugar makers and cattle raisers ot the South on the altar of the Eastern manufacturers. New England accomplishes by craft what she la unable to secure by main strength. Tax esteemed Savannah News, which takes a feeble Interest In modern affairs, la talking about the Tilden boom, and opposing lb—At lanta Constitution. The evidence doesn't sustain the allega tion. "The Tilden boom doesn't jiertaln to "modern affaira.” It la a matter that carries one back to the days of the cata combs and mnmmydom. The Mews shows its apprsdation foe living issues by refus ing to join the Constitution in a raid on an tiquity. Bays an exchange: “George Washing- ton. the first President ot the United States, never saw a ateamboat. John Ad orn-, the second President, never saw a railroad. Andrew Jackson, the seventh President, knew nothing about the tele- grapli. Abraham Lincoln, the sixteenth President, never dreamed of such a tiring as a telephone." Yes; and none of these parties knew anything ot a "straight flush.” That’s where Arthur has the ad vantage of them. I happen to have personal and positive knowledge that Mr. Tilden has no mere Inten tion of allowing himself to be drawn into Presidential contest than he has of joining El Mahdl, In Egypt. I had tho good fortuno to meet him (Mr. Tilden, and not El Mahdl,) one day last September at West Putin, whither he had come on the small stoam yacht upon which he steams up and down the Hudson. I heard him talk for more than half hour, I saw him at dinner, and I saw him go on board hts boat. His voice Is not much above a whisper, except when he ejaculates “Loulsl” the name of hi. valet. He la completely paralysed In one arm and part ly In the other, and cannot feed himself, hts valet doing It for hire, lie takas no exercise, except to walk slowly and carefully along with his faithful Louis near In caio the dizzi ness to which he Is subject should get the best of him. Lastly, his intellect appears to be as clear as ever when be can keep awake. These arcahsolute facts. To bis Intlmste friends he speaks unhesitatingly of the folly of trying for the Presidential chair, especially when he has all that hts great wealth can give him. When, therefore, 1 hear Mr. Tilden’s name brought forward In conneetlen with the Democratic nomination, as has bocn the case for the past ten days, It seems like an ancient Joke brought up lor the occasion. Our Female Convicts. Our Puritan friends are continually making themselves unhappy over the convict system of Georgia. The latest groan in this direction comes from the Lowell (Mass.) Citizen and in this shape: "The Georgians keep female prisoners in their convict camps; and yet the Georgia papers are still harp ing about Tewksbury.” We are not aware that Georgia journals are worrying themselves or their readers over the well established and horrible fact that the skins of paupers, white and black, were tanned at the Tewksbury almshouse. But such cold blooded depravity is calculated to linger long in tiie memories of men, and the fact that female criminals are punished in Geor gia, juBt as they are punished every where else, cannot mitigate the unpar alleled crime of the State officials of Massachusetts. All law breakers in Georgia above a certain degree are punished by confine ment in the convict camps known as penitentiaries. The law does not make any distinction between men and women convicted of similar crimes. Both are sentenced to hard labor for such terms of years as the penal code provides. But while women are confined in tiie convict tamps under the rules and regulations of these camps, a difference is made in the kind of labor. The women are kept separate from the men and are made to do the cooking, washing and house cleaning for the male convicts. This is not beyond their strength or capacity and is not degrading. If wo men will commit infamous ami violent crimes, society demands that they shall expiate them by punishment. Georgia sees to it that her female convicts are not overworked, that they are comfortably clothed, and sufficiently fed, and that medical and religious attendance is given them. If during their incarceration any should die, and are not claimed by relatives and friends, they are given decent burial, and there are no tan vats under tiie supervision of sanctimonious scoun drels. in which their skins may he tanned. In many respects the prison system of Georgia is superior to any in this country. It has no features so bad as those of Massachusetts and other States whose people ore given to med dling with what docs not concern them. ed on Saturday last, in the defeat of the bill for the postponement of the pay ment of taxes on whisky. Next to the Morrison tariff bill, this was the first important measure in the programme ftthc free traders. It is plain that this faction has become frightened at tho mischief already done, and the result of Saturday is ominous to the Morrison horizontal tariff bill. The issue was fairly and squarely made and the de feat so decided that any hopes of a rally are futile. The Washington correspondent of the New York Timet describes the scene as follows: might he not also become a candidate for Governor, or for judgo on the Su premo Court bench, or for United States Senator? The chairman of the State executive committee, like the Chief Justice of our Supreme Court, should not preside in a case which could even remotely affect his personal interests. Though upright himself, those who come after him may not be. reason that it is hard to convict men of murder in duels where tho practice has been approved. A11 the applause Cash received was from the miserable creatures associated with him in an attempt to Africanize South Carolina in the interests of the Republican party, of which he is a trusted and honored leader.

This accounts for the sudden slop oyer in certain quar ters in Georgia. Mr. Motes Handy Is alto eng ,.-ed in booming Mr. Blaine.

A letter from Atlanta to the Augusta Evening Ac ice contains this paragraph: Judge Stewart, who la to take up the Con gressional race In place of Boynton, will ex change benches with Judge Hammond find hold court In Jonesboro next week. Tills will enable him to meet his country friends In that county, and they are legion. Stewart will get ihe vote of Clayton county, hut hu Is naturally anxious to make i-crsonul inspection ot bis fences there, and hence his dcslro to preside In the court there next week. His friends confidently predict his nomination on the first ballot. There is no reason why Judge Stewart should not lte a candidate for Congress if he desires to enter upon a political career. In this free democratic coun try the citizen may aspire to any office within the gift of tho people, Nearly all our young men who enter the legal profesalon contem plate, sooner or later, engaging in politics. So general is this rule that a young man, once admitted to tho bar, may lie regarded as much a politician as he is a lawyer. This is the reason why so few American practitioners rise to great eminence as jurists or statesmen. A great lawyer rarely ever attains to high distinction as a jtolitic- ian, and no politician ever becomes a great lawyer. To achieve marked suc cess in either branch of service, re quires all the time and all the energy a man poasesses. In England, the wisest country in the world, professional men ore wont to devote themselves ex clusively to their chosen coil ing. When they ltave achieved dis tinction and acquired fortune, „they are then ready to retire on the bench or a scat in Parliament. There the legal profession and parliamentary service are distinct, and are never pursued to gether. In America, on the contrary, the lawyer ia almost always a politi cian, and the politician almost always a lawyer. Hence the grand army of politicians and lawyers we have in the United States, and hence too the small number of great statesmen and learned judges. So true is this, that we look in vain in this country, now num bering nearly 60,000,000 of inhabi tants, for one great judge, or one great statesman. Chief Justice Marshall, our greatest judge, could never have achieved such distinction, i! he had mingled politics and law; and Mr. Jefferson could never have attain ed to such eminence aa a statesman, if like our modem politicians, he had plsyed lawyer ami politician alter nately. We have nothing to remark with re gard to Judge Stewart's decision to enter the race for Congress from the fifth district. We are free to aay how ever, that before doing so he should resign his seat on the bench. The ex tract given above, we trust, does him Cotton Statement. From tho Chronicle’s cotton article of March 7, we gather the following facts relative to the movement of the crop for the past week: For tiie week ending March 7, tiie total receipts have reached 08,720 bales, against 70,487 hates last week, 05,0111 bales the previous week, and 105,021 bales threo weeks since; making the total receipts since September 1,1883, 4,422,324 bales, aguinst 5,020,540 bales for tho same period of 1882-83, show ing a decrease since September 1, 1883, of 004,210 bales. The total receipts at ail tho interior towns for the past week have reached 31,203 hales, since September 2,543,048, showing a decrease of 33,010 bales us compared with tiie receipts of the same week lost year, and for the season a falling off of 558,241 bales. Among the interior towns Macon is credited with U5bules for the week, and with 58,475 hales for the season. For the same week last year the receipts were 217 bales, and for tho season 54,085 bales. These figures show a decrease for the week, os compared with the same receipts last year, of 102 hales, and for the season an increaso of 3,400 hales. Taking the receipts from plantations, the net overland movement to March, and also the takings by Southern spin ners to the same date, the total visible For lack of thirteen extra votes the support ers of the Mil extending the bonded period for distilled spirits suffered to-day a decisive defeat In the House of Representatives. Knowing that the battle would ho brought on this afternoon, the whisky meu and their al. lies made every preparation they could. Every member upon whoso vote they could count was urged to be lu his place, and special ef forts went made to arrange pairs for those who were obliged to be absent. The opponents of the measure were not unmindful of the preparations of the whisky men, and they, too, were on hand in force. Mr. Morrison leaned back in bis seat with an unconcerned air, which some of the whisky men were unkind enough to say was not wholly assumed. Mr. Willis, who has worked untiringly for the measure, kept a careful tally of the voting, and Mr. Thompson con* suited a llstof members and sent out scouts lor those who were not in their scats. Other Kentucky Representatives were bobbing around the chamber In a state ot great ner vousness and anxiety, fur they and their friends knew that It was a test vote. When the roll was finished tho whisky men gave up, for they polled only 115 votes, while their opponents had scored 127. The necessary thirteen votes can never be found, so the whisky ring may just as well pay up back taxes and go to work at tho stills. If anybody puffers it will be the bankers who have advanced money upon the whisky in bond as collateral. It is something that this ring, which is rich, powerful and audacious, which has heretofore been successful, which virtually ruined Grant's administration, has atlastbcen brought to terms. As on evidence of its power, the bill was reported from the committee of ways and means favorably; and yet it had been industriously heralded that several of the members of that com mittee were opposed to the passage of tho bill. The excuse given for this strange proceeding is that these mem-, here yielded to tho persuasion of indi viduals. What the people would like to know is tho names of these individuals who were able to persuade members of the committco contrary to their con victions of duty. Our immediate repre sentative appears to he among those over-persuaded to give the whisky hill advantage of a favorable report. It is said that the corridors of the capitol have been crowded with advocates of the whisky ring with silver tongues and golden fingers. It Is a matter of record in and out of tho courts, that this ring once corrupted officials from tho fellows who handled the bung cracker up to the president of the United States. Tho country should he fully informed afi to the names and standing ot the individuals who are suf ficiently powerful, eloquent and persuasive to induce Representa tives to do a wrong to their constituen cies. Tito minority of a committee lias always at hamlthcparliamentary priv ilege of expressing its dissent from any measure reported by the majority tills hill had been passed by reason of a favorable and unanimous report, the members who wereopposed to it would have been placed In an unenviable po sition. As a sleight-of-hand performance no fault rauy bo found with it, but it is stitlly lucking in the elements of open and honorable statesmanship. The "Western Advocate" and Bishop Pierce. The following extracts are taken from an editorial article in the Western Christian Advocate, a religious paper published in St. Louis, and an organ of tho Northern Methodists. The reference is to Bishop Pierce, of C.eor- gio: “NVe have^aften wondered at the silence of the pulpit and the press—religious and politi cal—of the South when such murders as that of Matthews, at Hozlehurst, Miss,, or such wholesale slaughters os that at Danville, Va., have shocked the nation We do not wonder any longef. The animus which instigates these wrong* finds lte life-blood In such senti ments relative to the rights and proper sphere of the negro race as were given by this Chris tian minister to a reporter of a secular paper for publication.

Young Cas a has just murdered an ex soldier of the Federal army and an in nocent bystander. The deed was hor rible, but both lives taken were not the equal of that of Mr. Shannon.

The imports into continental ports this week have been 37,000 bales. The exports .have reached a total of 108,852 bales, of which 61,621 were to Great Britain, 4,502 to France, and 42,029 to the rest of the continent. Relative to cotton speculations for the week under review, wo clip the follow ing from the Chronicle’s comments: Tbe past week has been one of great ami un* usual dullness In the speculation for future dellve-y al this market, ami p rleea show some decline. There was very little demand at any time and such Rule “spurts" towards better figures aa were made on Tuesday and Thurs. day morolns were cajterly embraced b. hold ers to reduce thqlr burdens. There has ms been anything of special Importance in tore elgn or Southern adrlcea except that the movement of the crop, both at the porta and the Interior towns, wax somewhat io ex estimates. The receding of the Hoods In the Ohio Volley has permitted a resumption In the overland movement by rail, which has partially made good a marked falling off la re ceipts at New Orleans. Toolay the opening was weak, hut there was rather more activity at a alight decline, closing as compared with last Friday S to 11 points lower for this crop and 4 to 0 points lower for the next.

In view oi this fact, the Independent! can no longer be twitted with a (opposed coalition with while Republicans. An Exnmpte. The Selma Timet contains the follow ing announcement: Sure enough Chairmen McKleroy resigned from the executive committee ami announced himself n candidate for Governor. It Isn' every man who would have resigned a posi tion that gave him an apparent advantage in the race, and Alabama Is to he congratulated on this still further erldenco of how strict sense of propriety tbe breasts of her public men do harbor There are persona in Georgia who think thqt the chairman of onr State executive committee would do wisely to imitate the example set him by the chairman of the Alabama executive committee. We do not suppose that Captain Ilenry Jackson, the chairman of tiie Democratic executive committee of Georgia, would take advantage of hits position to promote his own political interests. But he is a candidate for Congress in the fifth district, and has close official relations with the Executive committee ot that district, and with the executive committees of the several counties com posing the district. He is moreover, engaged in an active pergonal canvass of the district, and is brought in con tact with the members of the Congres sional and county committees, and If he does not take advantage of the op portunity, and of his official relations as chairman of the State executive committee, to advance his own inter ests, as we believe he will not, yet the temptation and the opportunity exist, ami the circumstance will likely pro voke comment and produce dissatisfac tion. An unscrupulous candidate in his position, however unworthy, could almost certainly secure his own nomin ation over a more deierving opponent, Admitting that no evil will come of it in this particular instance, the ques tion arises whether it wou.d not be bail precedent tor tbe chairman to es tablish for the guidance of his sue son. If the chairman can properly retain his office and be a candidate for I so important a position as that of a eeat in the House of Representatives, why very highest social element of the South— what applications of them must we not ex- peel from those who know none of the hu manizing and restraining influences of the gospel. ..... It Is such teaching as this from tho pulpit end the press ot tho South, ns well as from the stump, that breeds the violence which has driven the negroes from the polls, end the white men as well who do not accept such opinions. Gloomy indeed will be tbe day when, by any untoward Influences, the na tional government shall fall Into the hands of men who teueb and who follow such doctrines as these I If men on account ot color maybe disfranchised by violence, why maynotunfor* tnnate or poor while men! Is it any wonder that the entire South ia almost a unit against the colored man. If thoso who profess to be guided by the teachings of our holy Christian* lty say that any adequate recognition-of the manhood of the negro Is tn insult, and that white men cannot tamely submit to It. * * * * * Through what Arcs or floods this na tion mny yet pass tn reaching the goal where all men have equal rights to life and its duties and enjoyments, wo know not; hut we believe that an honest, determined policy on the part of the nation todcal Justly wllh God's poor- white, black and red—would avert the tore ca- lamilles which a neglect of duty Is sure to bring upon It. Bishop Tierce is abundantly 'able to take care oi himself in a controversy with his Northern Methodist assailant, indeed with any body. It will not be amiss for ns however, to make a respectful suggestion to tho conductor of the Western Christian Advocate, which, if it fall to convince his mind, may at least teach him the virtue of modesty. Bishop Tierce was born and bred in Georgia, and lias spent all his honored life among the negroes, first as slaves and since as freedmen. All men admit that he is a man of largo intelligence and of high character. Ho is now sev enty-three years old, has devoted his life to the good of his fellow-men, in cluding the "brother in black,” whose character, capacity and capabilities lie lias studied closely, and understands as fully os any man within the United States. It will be admitted also that as a high church dignitary and a Christian, his interest in the negro is quite as deep anil sincere as his knowledge of his weaknesses ami vices is well grounded and thorough. He has had every opportunity to study the charac ter of tho negro, ami wo feel quite sure he lias every disposition to judge him as be would pray to bo judged himself —in all charity nml honesty. With these premises established, we would suggest that this Southern Christian gentleman, of large experi ence and opportunities, nml with ev er)' disposition and ability to reach the right conclusion, is in a better po sition to understand the negro anil tho negro problem, than a stranger who has had no suclt opportunities, and who cannot possibly feci a more en lightened interest in his welfare. This may not nppbar to be so dear anti con clusive totlio editor of the Western Christian Advocate*but to a modest and less arrogant wind it would seem to be eminently reasonable and satis factory. When the Western Advocate shall have removed the beam from its own eye, it will then be in a position to dis cern the moat in the eyes of others. At present it can only speculate and theorize, whereas Bishop Pierce can speak and does speak as one having authority. der, and they are fair samples of the cluss from which Republican recruits are drawn. Negroes helped young Cash to escape from the scene of the last murder. Negroes give him information of the movements of the officers of the law, and negroes openly and violently denounce the attempt of tiie authori ties to arrest him. A Valuable Discovery, So many lives have been lost by the use of chloroform toalloviate tite pains of surgical operations, that many per sons are unwilling to resort to this form of antesthesia, and the surgeon’s knife glitters with its old time horror. Men and women too, have preferred to sub net to torture rather than to take the chances of being put to sleep forever by an agency intended to produce tem porary insensibility to pain. Suffering humanity will consequently hail with delight the successful experi ment of M. Paul Bert, the distin guished chemist. Tills experiment has shown that if chloroform be min gled with air in a proper proportion and the mixture inhaled, anesthesia can be produced without the appear ance of the distressing symptoms which often accompany the ordinary methods of administration, while tho inhalation is so entirely under the man agement of the operator as to be com paratively free from danger. The pro portion advocated by M. Bert is about 120 grains of chloroform in 100 quarts of air. Tho great repulsion which many persons evince by endeavoring to get rid of tho “compressor” with which tho poison is put into their nostrils, is avoided by the use of this mixture, which is not disagreeablo in its immediate effect upon tho air passages. Moreover, the succeeding phase of delirious excite ment that often supervenes when the drug lias taken effect, causing great trouble to the operator, is got rid of by employing M. Bert’s method, and tiie nausea and vomiting which often ac company the revival from insensibility are reduced to a minimum. There seems little doubt that the discovery of M. Bert is one of great importance, and that a comparatively safe and ea sily regulated mixture will soon super sede actual chloroform for anicuthetic purposes.
