The Mormon ciders are duping some of the weak-minded women up in Faulding county. ^The men in that section are atrangel^bsing some very fine opportuni ties. Did Speaker Carlisle find the free trade "banqueters solid on the bonded whisky "bill? It is a wise Speaker that knows when to leave his post of duty and when to keep it. The Virginia Legislature has passed over the veto of the Governor a bill giving the election of Commissioner of Agriculture to the people. Georgia needs just such a legislature. Ax unpronounceable Russian paper has Tho Tilden Brigade. As a matter of public interest, the Telegraph feels constrained this morning to lay aside all feelings of rivalry, and point with pride to the Atlanta Const Union's grand coup d'etat of Sunday in connection with the alleged Tilden boom. Probably never before in the history of Southern jour nalism has such a triumph over time, space, wind and water been achieved. In one week, by means ot its exten sive corps of correspondents, mounted couriers and local reporters, the Con stitution found out and interviewed every Tilden man in Georgia, roughly estimated at five hundred in number. The stupendous character of this work can be well understood when it is re membered that there are about 175,- 000 voters in the State. The skill with which the five hundred were sought out and spotted in this vast ag gregate of suffragists, challenges admi ration from even the most captious. But while there is cause for praise in the successful execution of this mag nificent enterprise, there is also ground for complaint and regret. The Telegraph tenders its most sacred sympathies to its esteemed contempo rary over the accidental discovery that the greab Tilden organ of Georgia, whose weekly edition alone “is read by 140,000 people,” has been able to affect the views or coincide with the opinions of only 500. It is a bitter realization for the whole journalistic brotherhood, who are accustomed to believe tliatsuh- scriliers swallow' the gifted editor’s views along with their coffee and hot begun a short-lived career in 6t. Peters-1 _ .. . TI .« burg. It advocates honorable methods in I muffins ,n tho ™ormng. However, the opposing absolutism; but it will die iu a ! burry, for all that Ou> Exrxaon William believes in Gyp sy fortune tellers. If the old fellow could enjoy one boor's interview with an African hoodoo doctor bia future would be safe— that is to say, barring accidents. Fbeesom of comment on public meas ures aim the records of public men is ab solutely eisential to the safety ot the pub lic institutions of a free country. The tendency to deny this right is dangerous. It would not be a bad idea for the Demo cratic masses to take a hand in deciding what men sball represent them in the Chi cago convention. It ia time to retire to the rear the cut and dried programmes. Ir the New England States were atliicted with the negro incubus as South Carolina and some other Southern States are, the country would hear nothing more from that quarter about the peculiar rights and peculiar wrongs of the block-skinned race. SutAToa Hawley wants a reward of lweuiy-(W« thousand dollar, offered fur the recovery of Lieutenant finely and his party, or the discovery of their wherea bouts. A reward for the recovery of Char ley Ross may possibly be added on motion ot the Pennsylvania Senator. Ir the Britiali Parliament should be dis solved and an appeal be made to the coun try, the result will be in overwhelming verdict in favor ot a more vigorous policy in Egypt end of the permanent control of that country. The drift of public senti ment in England, In that direction, Is un mistakable, No FAErr can afford to trifle with justice by trying to cover up the short-comings of any of Its olflcials. The Democrat who would not expose wrong-doing in a Demo cratic oflicial os readily as in a Republican official may be a very fine partisan, but he lacks a great deal of coming up to the proper standard of citizenship. Jolts SniXMAN declines to move for a committee to investigate the probable causca that led totbcaisoulnat'on of Gar field. But, then, he probably couldn’t hope to become the beneficiary of any excite ment in that line; and so he will continue to dig in the South for the wondrous grati tude of the white-eyed patriots. evil has been made apparent* It is too late to express regrets. Yet while all are sufferers, no right thinking journal ist can refuse to shed a tear over the misfortunes of an esteemed contempo rary, who in the blind exercise of his strength has pulled the pillars from under the glorious temple of his pride, and buried himself in the mins. The Contlilulion, however, has yet an opportunity to be great. 11 is evident that the fewer friends one has, the closer should he stick to them. Here are five hundred people out of 175,000 who have responded to the rash call of the Tilden organ. What could be more graceful than for the esteemed Atlanta contemporary to arrange for these gen tlemen an excursion to Macon during he cavalry tournament? Compared with the importance of the occasion, the expense would be ridiculously small. For our part, wc will do all in our power to make the occasion a mem orable one. The visitors shall be en tertained and shown all over “the pret tiest city on the continent,” and made happy. We pledge our word as jour nalists, and will give bond if necessary, that the Tilden boom will not he hurt, if we have to borrow a hot-house to keep it in. The arrangement will be mutually advantageous, and we beg our contem porary to scrionsly consider it. Its five hundred constituents will be made to enjoy themselves copiously, and thousands of Georgians who did not know there was such a thing as a Til den boom, will have an opportunity to crowd around and look a real one in the teeth. And not only will the five hundred be complimented, but tiie Cotulilulion will have the ineffable satisfaction of knowing that, while tho faithful arc frolicking, the remaining 1.10,500 who read our esteemed contemporary’s weekly edition will be laid up with an attack of the “dry grins.” For What Reason? Referring to the call of the executive committee to provide for a convention to select delegates to the Chicago con vention, the Albany -Yrtr» and Adter- I iitr says: The committee wttl determine the date of a convention to .elect delexjdc. to the national Democratic convention In Chicago. This ought to meet in May. The convention month, on sheriff’s sale daw at n time when business generally calls farmers to the county sites. If the convention is held in May the«« farmers will be put to the extra inconvenience of having to attend a convention at a distance from home. Why should delegates be selected in May to bo exposed to the importunities of the agents and partisans of Presiden tial aspirants from that time until July 8th, many weeks? Why should Georgia ruslt into a con vention before the situation lias become clear and settled? Some years back and the political lead of Georgia was esteemed a wise and sound indication. Iior Democrats were patriotic, united and possessed of strong common senso. Factions un der the lead of selfish and unscrupu- otts partisans have so distracted her councils that site now stands in dire need of patient examination ami delib erate action. It is by no means assured that the Chicago convention will name a win ning ticket. It is very certain that no good can come of haste where a large margin of delay has been expressly allowed. Some Thoughts cn Mr. Carlisle's History of Free Trade. The speech of Mr. Carlisle, at the banquet of the New Y’ork Free Trade Club, was a remarkable performance, when judged by what he said as well as what he failed to say. His announcement that "the old fed eration possessed no means to sustain itself,” conflicts with the results of the revolutionary war. If the history of the country, heretofore regarded as authentic, has truly re corded the iactsin connection with that war, its duration, the resources of Eng land employed in its prosecution, and the successful resistance made by tho colonies, it is clear that the “federa tion” sustained itself. Whether or not the objects for which our forefathers fought were accom plished to their satisfaction, during the period that intervened between the close of tho war and the adop tion of the Federal constitution, is another question. Mr. Carlisle ap preciates this fact. He said, speaking of the men who framed the Federal constitution: “Did not they say that they believed that free trade, absolute free trade, between the several States was imperatively demanded by the in terests oi tho people?” Who ever questioned that they did? On the con trary who docs not know that this idea was a prominent one with the framers of the constitution ? But why did Mr. Carlisio stop here? Why this half statement of one of the main reasons that led to the formation of the Federal Union? Its founders believed in free trade, absolute freo trade, between the States of the Union. They also believed that power should be lodged somewhere, and that this power should be exercised, to secure to American citizens the benefits ot this trade. Mr. Carlialo omitted to state this latter fact. The wis dom of tho first proposition has never been questioned in the history of Die country, until the school of politicians to which Mr. Carlisle be longs came into prominence. While the framers ot the constitution wanted trade between tiie States freo aa air, and as unobstructed as God’s sunlight; while they proposed to protect this trade to the people of these States as against all foreign nations, Mr. Carlisio as to have made such a partial state ment of the case. He is open to the charge of suppressing the truth for a partiean pern-w. The question of protection had much to do with the formation of the sentiment that found expression at last in open revolt against the authority of Great Britain. If, as Mr. Carlisle says, the “federation was impotent” when tiie constitution was formed, it was because it could not, for the very reasons lie assigns, secure free trade between the States or protection to the States from foreign competition for this trade. Something Better than Durango. It may he remembered that Dr. Bliss, who butchered Garfield, in veigled tiie StateJ Department into im porting for him a quantity of a South American weed called durango. He, in turn, duped many people into tho belief that it would cure cancer, and thereby added shekels to his slender professional income tor a time. Smil ing Schuyler Colfax famished a cer tificate as to its efficiency, bat it proved to bo as great a fraud and deception as Schuyler himself. Just now Washington society is wrought up over a cancer cure by Madamc de Struve, wife of tho Russian minister. It appears that Mrs. Bing ham, wife of one of the Congressmen from Philadelphia, developed what was pronounced acancer in the month. Dr. Agnew and other distinguished physicians were consulted, and an operation was performed, but failed to arrest the malady. Mrs. Bingham was given over to die, and opiates alone were used to alleviate the tor- cotton Statement. The Chronicle’t cotton article of March 14 gives the following facts rel ative to the movement of tiie crop for the past week: For the weekending March 14, the total receipts have reached 48,876 bales, against 68,720 bales Inst week, 76,487 bales the previous week, and 65,014 bales three weekB since; making the total receipts since September 1, 1883, 4,485,024 bales, against 5,137,- 721 bales for the same period of 1882- 83, showing a decrease since Septem ber 1, 1883, of 651,797 hales. Tiie total receipts at all the interior towns for the past week have reached whom they can hope to win. But he docs not attempt to dodge and hide be hind Mr. Tilden. He appreciates the fact that there is no hope in that quar ter. He ia willing to surrender his side arms and his baggage, but begs to retain his honor. These terms are ac cepted, and upon giving his parole, the proper officer will be instructed not to interfere with the pocket pistol in Mr. Watterson's haversack. FROM ATLANTA.

She is a homeopathist, and she uses chiefly tho medicine of the great Dr. Mattel, of Bologna, Italy. Dr. Mattel has been especially successful in the treatment of cancers, and Mme. de Struve keeps with’her always a full case of his pre parations. The case is tlms reported -. “With in a lew weeks Mrs. Bingham has im proved so wonderfully as to bewilder those who expected to hear of her death at any time. The opium is whol ly discontinued, she sleeps, she eats, the cancer is diminishing in size, and a few days since Mrs. Bingham was able to ride out. Society is in a great state of excitement at this marvel in itsmidBt, the two ladies being most prominent in the higher circles. Mme. de Strove modestly declines any credit in the matter, ascribing everything to Dr. Mattei, and while she very quietly says that site can not tell whether Mrs. Bingham will ever he permanently enred, she feels that her Italian doc tor’s remedies have relieved her of her sufferings, and at least prolonged her life for a while. The present change in her condition seems nothing less than a miracle, and Mme. dc Struve, who is one of the noblest and most gen erous of women, is being regarded as a venerable fairy godmother.” Perhaps Mrs. Bingham would have rallied after getting rid of the surgeon’s knife and the strong remedies nsed upon iter. It may be that her trouble is not cancer. The discontinuance of tiie use of the beastly drug, morphine, gave her system opportunity to rally. Thero may he something in the treat ment with mild remedies.

We have tiie best of reasons to know that a much later date was desired by many, and if tiie matter had been freely dis cussed beforehand a later date would have been selected. California, Ar kansas and Illinois have followed the line marked out, and will hold conventions to select delegates to Chicago in the latter part of June.

Free trade between the States was a doctrine upheld by the father*. Free trade witli foreign nations anil internal taxation levied upon the products of our own people is thc doctrine of thc Carlisle school of states men. Mr. Carlisle’s failure to state tiie case fully was a confession upon his part that, judged by all thc traditions of the people from thc days of Jeffer son, Madison and Monroe down to the present, the doctrine was pernicious. He feared tho result "of an open con fession of this modern political heresy. Granting that Mr. Carlisio has stated the case properly with reference to free intcr-State trade, as it was understood L,- the framers of tiie constitution, wc beg to call attention to an authority which lie will not question, as to their position in reference to foreign trade. Mr. Webster, in a speech de- delivered at Albany, New York, 1842, said that when tiie Federal constitution was submitted to the people of the States for ratification, the discussions that followed proved conclusively that it would have failed of adoption, bat for the fact that it was generally conceded that the govern ment under it, if formed, would have the power, the promised exercise of which was implied, to foster and pro tect its capital and labor,by levying ad equate duties, for this purpose, upon all foreign products imported into tiie the country. Aa an evidence that this was true, Mr. Madiaon, who woa a member of the first House ot Representative*, before the first Congress had been in session forty-eight hoars, offered a preamble and resolutions setting forth this authority of tiie constitution, and foe that has baffied and defied it. The State Fair. We print elsewhere an interesting communication from the president of the State Agricultural Society, in which an earnest appeal is made to thc peo ple of Georgia for active effort and co operation in behalf of the State fair which the society proposes to hold in Macon next October. Wc cannot see why tiie fair should not he eminently stu-cessfui, ns weii as an occasion of general enjoyment for the |icoplo who attend it, and of profit to merchants, dealers, hotels nnd boarding houses, and others. No 1 (ot ter place titan Macon can be found in the Slate, or in thc South, for thc fuir. Located in the centre ot tiie finest agri cultural section of the State, with more miles of railways converging here titan in any city in Georgia, witli ample ac commodations for guests, and witli more and better light and water than arc possessed elsewhere, and with twenty- fire thousand courteous am! hospitable people to greet and entertain visitors, there need be no doubt that thc fair will prove to be a gratifying success. But whilst success is within easy reach, it will not come of itself. The necessary effort most be mode by the societv and its friends throughout tiie State, and by the people of Macon. Planters and farmers, orchardiats and gardeners, merchants and manufactur ers, miners and machinists, the friends ot fine cattle, hones, hogs and poultry, and withal our nimblefingered mothers and maidens, must unite together, and by their joint efforts and counsels crown the enterprise with triumph. A successful fair would be of great benefit to the Agricultural Society itself. It would infnsc a more hopeful spirit into farmers and planters, and would recall public attention to Macon to a degree that would be alike advan tageous and agreeable. Indeed \he (air will be a benefit and a pleasure to all concerned. . , . , . _ .. i Ayer's Hair Vigor stimulates the hair found to he interesting reading. cells to healthy action, and promotes a It will be seen that lie cxcommuni- vigorous growth.
