A steady persistent lick tells in the long rnn of a lifetime ot toil. A genius for la bor beats a genius for luck.

Mr. Itandall won’t trade, anil proposes to defeat both measures. —It Is denied that Henry Watterson wrote Osman Dlgna’s lata proclamation, in spite of the resemblance in cheek be tween tbat document and Watterson’s pronunciamcnto from Washington a few days ago. “Can the Ethiopian change hia skin?" asks the rhilodcl phis Prcu, jeering down from above its spectacles. Well, hardly. The Republicans bnvo skinned him so thoroughly, he hasn’t anything left to change. These are algna and signs. If the soil is well prepared, properly planted and thoroughly tilled, tho present year will witness bountiful crops in our opinion. There is more In the man and the cultiva tion, than in the land and the seasons. The Russian government is making but slow progress in its war upon Nihilism. Repression is not eradication.

The British government Is not as y—Hmiar about neutrality laws now, it seems, as it was during the late unpleas antness between the Southern Stales and (he Federal government. —A new and formidable fighting ship has been built in Kngland for the govern- saent ot Braxll. She is turned Uie ltiaciiu- clo, and is a steel armored turret ship, 305 feet long, having a displacement of 3,700 tons. Sire has fifty-eight water tight com partments and a belt of steel armor eleven inehes in thickness. An Electioneering Steal Defeated. On Monday hut our noon dispatches contained fearful accounts of the immi nent destruction of the city of New Or leans, by tho waters of the Mississippi rivcrawollcn to annnuaual height. In the same connection camo accounts of the failure in the Itouao of Representatives ot a motion to appropriate money to avert tho impending catastrophe, This last lias been twice defeated. What appeared to be indefensible un- Cradooancm upon Uie part of objecting members turns out to have been very wise delay. 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. Alnba 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. of the great and growing physical weakness of Mr. Tiiden, they also show that ho is fully aware of his situation nnd is possessed of sufiicient firmness c , lte *j d ASSuSS JITp»f Wn , I concerned to be and appear at the court ol oT I dinary of raid county at the prUrerm lira I 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 sires and demands. fJKORc.lA, BIBn COUNTY.—Wherca, Vm . ”, Rate 8.

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 dressing, free from grease. OBOKOI4,.

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.
