The Hew Orleans TVmrx-Desioernf^of
Tuesday morning aaya, editorially
As this mpptloiloa ot Kellogg for money
"to save New Orleans” la likely to go the
mad! ol the press, sad to give strength to the
very raUtakca Mas that thu city is Insecure
sod In danger ot being Swept sway, we
impelled to assert Ihst New Orleans Is not an
applicant for assistance In this matter, and
weald prefer loose the ayproprlatWu devoted
to protecting other points lu greater danger.
The alnrming dispatch was nothing
more nor less than it trick of Kellogg
to gi t an electioneering fund out
of the public purse. It will be remem-
ben-ilthat thia trick was gueceaafully
workeilia Alabama some ten years
Aoco. The government appropriated
provisions anil clothing for the sufferers
luma iiir ituoils in tlio Tombigbee and
about, and underlie the present
political sitnation in the South; which,
indeed, created a necessity for it.
And it may be further said that the
present condition of the negroeB politi
cally and socially, and the state of feel
ing existing between them and the
wliitesis upon the whole fairly and im
partially stated.
Mr. Hill, if we mistake not, and in
deed there is little room for error with
his article before us, belongs to the
Ilaygood school of thinkers, and is in
fluenced by the “New South” idea.
He differs from most of his associates
however, in one important particular,
His belief has been shaped by facts
with which he has come into collision
and the theory he advances and pleads
for, is an honest effort to solve the diffi
culties met with in the prosecution of a
great work. His article is therefore
the beginning of a discussion of the
negro problem upon a business princi
ple, and as such the Telegraph recog
nizes it. It may be said that
great question can approach a solution
until practically handled: that is, until
existing facts and not bare theories arc
the forces employed. The negro prob
lem, os a moral question, as a mere
theory in which probable right and
possible wrong are discussed, cannot
attain a settlement except in the minds
of the few religious philosophers who
handle it. Argued upon a basis o
existing facts, the beginning of a grad
ual adjustment of ineqnalities-and dif
ferences may be effected, nnd the forces
which should work out the final result,
put in motion.
Mr.-Hill properly begins tho real dis
cussion with tlio “Solid South.” We
quote as follows:
The Klronxcst icntlmcnt among the South
era white* Is the determination to maintain
their present supremacy. This is the meaning
of tho solid South—solidarity In favor of home
rule, and the domination of her Intelligence
in public affaire. She la not to be ruled by tho
blacks, nor by white men at home or from
abroad who owe their election exclusively to
the blacks. On other questions there are dl-
vergcncea ol opinion, hut on the color line the
unity of publle feeling la complete. In such a
platform there Is nothing of hostility to the
African per se; no unwillingness to accept
him as a citizen with rights which tho white
man Is hound to respect. Indeed, It may he
safely said that the temporary reign ot the no-*
gro was submitted to with more forbearance,
and Us overthrow accomplished with
less of passion and violence, than If the
Caucasian aud the Chinese hail been the
parties to the Issue. The purpose to retain
the political mastery docs not rest upou dread
of "socltl equality." Amalgamation of races
too abhorrent to the Southern mind to seem
threatening probability. It has a natural
barrier iu the Inallnct of race, and is prohibited
by enactments which have been uphold os
constitutional In the United Males courts, •
* * * The united feeling which keeps the
South together is not founded upon opposi
tion to the social or civil rights ol the negro.
rests wholly upon the well remembered hor
rors of former experience, and the profound
conviction that neither life, liberty nor prop
erty Is safe when It la In the power of the Igno
rant negro massea. The white element is sol
Id politically simply through fear of a solid
black element. No wedge can split the former
until one has first penetrated the latter.
Thia in true. We can even go farther
with Mr. Hill ami say that it is danger
ous to have a party in power without
opposition; that personal instead of
party contests bring about a state of
political stagnation; that the enforced
support of a party by people who differ
widely in measures and principles is not
to be desired. But we can follow him
no further. Tito solution he offers, viz:
the immediate education of the negro,
is one we have opposed as suicidal and
impractical.. And in tiie light of fresh
experiences we are more than ever
firmly impressed with the folly of
attempting to obtain good social and
political fruit by subjecting the African
mind to a hot-house treatment. The
hope that a mere mental training will
fit the African mind for the reception
of principles which require strong soil
in which to root and be suatained, is a
vain one.
It iaatheovy.not sustainable as a the
ory even. And it is ridiculous to assert
that in practice os far os had, the re
sults obtained shall count for nothing.
Mr. Hill’s plan to take the conceit out
of the educated negroes by educating
the remainder to an equal degree; to
overcome knavery by making the com
mon herd as astute as the knaves, is sc
ceptable as a piece of humor, but not
as a great social solution.
The education tiie negro needs and
demands he can only get in evolution.
A nation, a civilization, a cultivated
people cannot be constructed by lateral
forces. Tho preserving power ot so
ciety is mormlity.lt occupies to the peo
ple the same position that motion and
attraction do to the components of the
universe. Without morality society
cannot long exist; can never be creat
ed. There is little morality in the negro
from the force of the argument, that
power conferred upon the negro race,
before morality is inculcated, must be
mischievous
The solution of the negro question is
practical one. It can he suggested
to Mr. Hill, who recently supported
and met defeat upon a temperance is
sue, as a remedy lor several perplexing
complications. Tho South is divided
in opinion upon the tariff issue, the
question of internal improvements, and
tho liquor question. There is little
room to divide, in fact, as long as the
negro remains a unit in our midst.
Nothing remains for tho South but to
keep solid, even at tho sacrifice of
some principles. This is admitted.
But while the education ol thd negro,
in the Ilaygood sense,is not the solution
nor the remedy for this, the gradual
education ot the negro in a business
sense may perhaps be. Tiie race is yet
in an unsettled state, a large division
of it drifting from vocation to vocation
year after year, but nevertheless grad
ually settling upon some line of employ
ment. It will not be long before the
majority will be anchored each to his
task, and the interests of his line of
labor dawn upon him. This settling of
the floating atoms bespeak the begin
ning of a new sociality, which will in
time evolve morality, and align itself
upon public questions. Tiie race issue
will be no longer the main issue, but
each in bis chosen occupation will join
interests with those of like pursuits.
This is no mere theory. Mr. Hill
must know that the negroes who have
already settled upon pursuits in life,
builtliomes andare rearing families, are
. , .. mil,, nf it may bo well to consider the coining:
opposed to tho indiscriminate sale of ( ^ „ llh „ Thc Chattahoochee
liquor. Recently, in opposition to they (> # natural wster courie , affording wet
removal of the duty on sugar there went
from Louisiana a protest signed by
300,000 people, of whom more than
half were negroes.
The first move in the solution of the
negro question is simply to let the
negro alone. With the surety of a
living as guaranteed in the opportuni
ties for labor; with example and per
sonal assistance of the white race, lie
will work out his own salvation, and
his balloting power be divided in the
interests to which ho is joined.

Cotton Statement.
The following facts, relative to the
movement ol the crop for the past
week, are gleaned from the Chroniclt’t
cotton article of Marcii 21:
For tho week ending March 21, the
total receipts havo reached 42,035 bales
against 49,876 bales last week, 68,720
bales the previous week and 76,487
bales thrco weeks since, making thc
total receipts since September 1,1883,
4,528,559 bales, against 0,242,783 bales
for the samo period of 1882-83, showing
a decrease since September 1,1883, of
714,224 bales.
The total receipts at all the interior
towns for the past week, have readied
38,155bales; since September 1,1883,
2,028,740 bales, showing a decrease
ol 15,060 bales as compared with the
receipts ot tlio same week last year,
and (er the season a falling off of 588,502
bales.
Macon U credited with 257 bates for
tho week, and witii 58,815 bales for tiie
season. For tho samo week last year
thc receipts were 300 bales, and for the
season 55,782 bales. Tlicso figures
show a decrease of 43 bajbx for the
week, as against thc same week last
year, and for tho season an increase of
3,033 bales.
Taking tiie receipts from plantations,
tiie net overland movement to Mnrch
l, and also the takings by Southern
spinners to tlio sumo date, tiie amount
of cotton substantially in sight be
comes 2,291,282 bales, against 0,232,800
bales last year, showing a decrease in
tlio visibio supply, as compared with
last year of 941,518 hales.
The imports into continental i>orts
this week have been 40,000 hales. The
ex|iorts have readied a total of 75,320
hales, of whieh 41,822 were to Great
Britain, 9,104 to France and 24,340 to
the rest of the continent.
Relative to speculations in cotton for
future delivery, the Chronicle bus the
following to say:
There has been a great Increase in the actlv
tty of the speculation In cotton for futuru tl<
livery at this market the paiil week, attended
by an important Improvement In price*. Sat*
unlay showed an advance of a few polnta,
an<l on Monday there waa a very active buy
ing, mainly for April, and aaid to be by acv-
oral German house*, who would expect the
delivery of cotton for export Tbla greatly
atlmulab 4 speculation and caused an active
bo> iu^ at the South for prompt shipment to
this market. Tue*Wy opened buoyant, but
Liverpool did not respond toadvlcea from this
aide; consequently Litre followed a heavy
selling movement to realize profits,
under which thc early advance waa not
only lost, but tbo close waa at
aome decline from the latest prices of Tuesday.
There waa aome recovery in the course of
Wednesday and Thursday, tiie reports from
Liverpool and Manchester bating improved,
and the receipts at the porta proving quite
smalL To-day there qraa a buoyant opening
but active aelling under apprehension of free
deliveries on April contracts, which caused
the early advance to be lost. The close was at
an advance for thc week of It to 17 polnta for
this crop and 16 to 17 points for the next. Cot
ton on the spot has been quiet, but not being
freely offered, prices are dearer. There was
an advance o' 116c on Monday and again on
Tuesday. To-day there waa a further advance
of l-16c., middles uplands closing quiet at
n*
winter, awt conducting the water into
atone or brick cisterns laid in cement;
but ttrc supply thus obtained would not
be sufficient to wash out the sewers
and carry off their contents. ,An ample
supply of water for thi: purpose must
be had at an early day, or the wonder
ful growth of Atlanta will suffer a sud
den check, and the health of the people
be seriously endangered.
Some preliminary steps have been
taken to obtain the necessaiy water sup
ply from the Chattahoochee, by con
structing a canal from a point above
Gainesville some sixty miles in length.
Such a canal will involve a heavy ex
penditure, and if all the water in the
river at the point of tapping it were
brought to the city, it would be none
too much. Much of the water brought
by the canal would necessarily be
wasted, and a good deal of it would be
so diverted as not to find its way back
into the river.
What effect this diversion would
have upon the milling and navigation
interests of the lower river, is already
attracting the attention of the newspa
pers in Columbus and elsewhere.
Would it not be well therefore for the
authorities of Atlanta, before commit
ting themselves to the canal project, to
take the opinion of disinterested engin
eers and competent lawyers on this im
portant question? To enter upon the
enterprise, and then to havo the work
enjoined until tbo question could Ihj
adjudicated by our Supreme Court, anc\
possibly by the Supreme Court of the
United States,would be exceedingly un
fortunate, especially if in the meantime
the health of the city was imperilled.
The Columbus Enquirer of a recent
date has this to say on the subject:
Before any considerable expenditure of
money it made on the proposed canal from
the Chattahoochee river to the city of Atlanta,
it may be well to consider the contingencies
river
water for
water power and navigation. It Is a fact well
established that water may not be diverted by
one party from its natural course to tbo dctrl’
ment of another having a right to Its use.
Steamboats on a river have a right to all the
water the river affords. The mills using the
water for power are entitled to the entire vol
ume not diverted to any considerable extent
beyond ordinary consumption. Last week
the city of Worcester, Massachusetts, had
Judgment rendered against it by the
courts for diverting water, and the city of
Atlanta should be careful that if any consider
able amount of water is diverted from the
river that this same water shall be returned
to thc rivar, for use of steamers and mills de
pending on it lower down. During the summer
months thc steamers would like all the water
they can get, and the mills have arrangements
by which they would prefer that no consider
able amount of water be deverted and not re
turned for their use. Tho water shed on ono
side of Atlanta drains Into the Gulf of Mexico,
aud on the other into the Atlantic ocean. If
- portion of thc river may be diverted from
tbo Guff to the Atlantic, with the same reason
all might he so diverted, and the mills of
Columbus would ho without water in the
channel.
Tho Enquirer is a judicious paper,
and generally has a reason for what
ever it says. Thc code Is very explicit
on tho subject of water courses, and
the rights of land owners to their use.
Feeling a sincere interest in the wel
fare of the capital city of the State, and
liclioving that its future growth and
liermanent welfare depend upon its se
curing at the earliest practicable' day
of an abundant supply of good water,
wo would suggest that the question
hero raised bo considered and amica
bly nettled, if possible, without delay.
Tho legal question might bo referred,
by agreement, to such lawyers oa
Judge Bleckley, ex-Govcmor Smith,
General Lawton and Attorney-General
Anderson, and tho quostion of watc
supply and its return back to tiie river
to competent and disinterested engin
eers from outside tiie State. If thc re
port of those persons should be satis
factory to all parties, then tiie work on
tho cnnal might proceed; otherwise
the reports might lead to some adjust
ment or compromise that would be mu
tually acceptable.
If some such course as the ono her*
suggested is not adopted, tiie matter
will probably be carried into thecourts
for final adjudication. This, we think,
would bo most unfortunate.
on the 8th day of April will be very
closely observed. At tiie first glance
it would appear that tho Democratic-
Rcpubiico coalition in Georgia is se
riously threatened with dangers nnd
dissensions. Thattho prominent mem
bers of tho Republican party South
propose to draw the color line must
put the politicians to thinking, all
over the country.

Grant’s Boom.
Within the past fortnight Grant has
rushed rapidly to the front as a Presi
dential favorite. Despite tho outgivings
as to his junketing tour South, he has
gone to Washington City,political head
quarters of tho country. Each day
gives evidence of his increasing interest
in the Presidential race and his own
strength.
The latest is embodied in thc follow
ing Washington special to tiie New
York Tribune:
to withstand the blandishments of hia
flatterers, the impertinence of reporters
and the appeals of real iriends. He
has at lost stilted that he could not
and would not accept a nomination
tendered him by a rising vote by tho
Chicago convention. This should in
sure him tlio peace and quiet lie de

A bit of political gossip, which some prom,
inent Republicans in Washington are incitne<i-(|
to treat seriously, is tbat while Senator Logi
is General Grant’s preference, as between
men who are regarded as among the leadli
candidates for tbo Presidential nominatloj
the cx-President has not laid aside all am'
tlon for another term, and would not regi
any combination of circumstances whii
would lead to hia own nomination. It is u]
derstood that ho was at first disinclined
consent that anything should be said or don)
to Indicate a desire on his part tc
enter political life, but the appeals am
arguments of persons who aro
near him have, it is said, revived his slumber
ing ambition, and it is asserted that quiet in
fluences are being exerted in his behalf, with
the, understanding that his name shall not be
usA unless it becomes manifest that General
Logan cannot be nominated. Ex-Senator
Chaffee is named as one of the men who aro
openly for Logan and secretly for Grant, and,
it is said, he has confided his purposes to such
of tho skilled and trained politicians, who
have been faithful to the ex-Presidcnt through
good and through evil report for so many
years, as he thought might he trusted.
I! Republican journals may be relied
upon, Mr. Blaine is exhibiting at pres
ent the greater personal popularity
lie is a bold, alert, magnetic man,
and lias a large following among the
young and enthusiastic men of his
party.
He will probably enter the conven*
tion with more strength than any other
candidate and still lack sufiicient to se
cure tho nomination. It will afford
Arthur, Sherman and Logan pleasure
to cut him down. This being done,
his friends will retaliate in turn upon
these worthies. Grant will bo held
in reserve and at the propitious
moment will be presented. He is the
strongest man in the Republican party.
He is the only man who will dare to
do whatever it may bid him to do, or
what he may incline to do himself.
The wing of the party that clings
closest to him has never abandoned
the hope of dominating tlio South po
litically with the negro vote. The “old
guard” at Chicago in 1880 neither died
nor surrendered. It was tricked out
of position by Garfield and Calico
Polishing tho Wrong End.
Many men daily polish their boots who
never give a thought to the condition of
their hair, except to harrow it casually
with brush ind comb, or submit itto the
paralyzing attentions of the average bar
ber. What happens? Why this: From
neglect, mental anxiety, or of any of a
score of causes, the hair turns prematurelv
gray and begins to fall out. Parker’s Hair
Balsam will at once stop the latter procest
and restore the original color. An elegant

Atlanta. Ga., March 17,1NSI.—At a mcettm; ut
prominent white men held this day for the
purpose of consulting on the present political
situation, the following preamble anu resolu
tions were adopted:

the real source of all true liberty, and the
foundation of a republican form of govern,

Resolved, That wc, thc white men here as

regardless of past political party affiliations,
as are willing and deairoua to co-operate In an
effort to bring about reform In our State, wlU

This is a very sudden movement
upon the part of white Republicans just
as the Presidential aspirants of the Re
publican party are making frantic efforts
to secure negro delegations at the ap
proaching Chicago convention
Perhaps the leading white Repobli-
cans whose names are signed to this
call, have tired of the dirtr work of ma
nipulating negro politicians in the in
terest of Northern politicians.
It may be that these men propose to
iffaet thc pronuncismento of Fred
The Caucus.
The action of the caucus of that por
tion of tho Democratic party carried
upon the rolls ot tho House ot Repre
sentatives, has been laid before 6ur
readers in full.
It has been decided that tho Morri
son bill shall be taken up and forced
through as soon os practicable, but that
no Representative may feel bound to
violate his conscience by voting for it
by reason of the action of the caucus
When this has been accomplished
then a bill to reduce the tax upon to
bacco, cigars and snuff, and to put the
tax upon domestic liquors at ten cents
per gallon, shall take its chances of get
ting through Congress with a start so
late os this.
The free traders have virtually car
ried their point. They have been in
dorsol by the caucus, but an attempt
to coerce those who dissented from the
programme met witii failure.
Messrs. Carlisle, Morrison, Block
burn and Watterson and others have
assumed control for the time being of
tiie destinies of the party, and they
must be held to a rigid responsibility
for immediate and contingent conse
quences.
Many of the best men of thc party
abandoned all hope of success in the
Presidential campaign upon the or
ganization of the House. Now that
policy is to be persisted in
which is bound to secure its death
blow in the Senate or at the hands of
the executive, and which drivos New
Jersey and Connecticut certainly, and
other States probably into the Repub
lican ranks, he must be considered
sanguiae man who can still hope for
Democratic victory in November next
In fact the {action which now has con
trol, has notified the country that it does
not hope or ekpect to win until 1888.
The audacity ot this faction is ad
mirable, if it is also dangerona, and
much of its success is due to the fact
that it has understood and appreciated
the truth that the aggressive policy
politics holds heavier chances to win.
Messrs. Carlisle, Morrison, Black
burn and Watterson, bold and flashed
with victory, disdain to appeal to Mr.
Tiiden to lead them in tiie general en
gagement, to which .this has been but
the preliminary skirmish.
