TILDEN IN SOUTH .CAROLINA.
THE WEEKLY TELEGRAPH AND MESSENGER, FRIDAY, A PR IL4, 1884.
Ulitor Telegraph and Ifruenger: A»
Tililen and Blaine are the probable Presi-
dcntial candidates at the present writing,
it it well to understand everything 'hat
has hitherto been revealed in their respect
ive records, not as individuals, but as offi
cials and public servants. Ur. Blaine, it
is known, has strong opposition in hisown
party, and the cloudy places in ids public
ife will either' he condoned by this oppo
sition or he will be rejected at the proper
time. The Southern Democrats take no
stock in him—unless there should be some
foundation for a painful rumor, which
seems to be the only explanation of his
-peculiar hold in Georgia upon the “com
mercial" politicians of the State. It is cir
culated in certain quarters that there is ah
alliance between the Blaine Republicans
and Bullock Democracy, by which it is
agreed to support
HR. RLAIRR AKI) MB. TILDEN
for these respective nominations. Mr.
Tilden's health will be used as an insuper
able objection against his nomination ut
Chicago in July, if Mr. Blaine is lucky
enough to control the Republican party
on the 3d of June. If Mr. Blaine
should fail at the first convention,
th%trongth of his clique will lie with
drawn from the Republican nominee, and
thrown indirectly to Mr. Tiiden, at the
election in November. It is not a question
of political platforms at all—if the rumor
lie well fonnded—but a question of spoils.
Bet us hope that no credit should be given
to this disgraceful rumor, for what pros
pect is there lot the South, if she is traded
otT, like goods and chatties—as poor Ixiui-
siana and South Carolina were nine
aged in 1870? If either of these
States voted for Hayes, then the
Republican nominees for governor were
certainly elected. If they voted for Tiiden.
then the compromise of certain Democrats
at tlio Wormfey Hotel conference was a
despicable piece of treachery to the best
inti rests of the Southern States.
Time will set these things straight, but
too late, perhaps, to correct the impending
difficulty that will certainly ensue this
year If Mr. Tilden's managers arc allowed
to manipulate the national policy of the
Democrats, under such circumstances.
A few days ago your correspondent
copied a little of the testimony in regard to
the Oregon difficulty, which cannot bo
contradicted. 1-ct us look Into the
aOl-TH CAROLINA TROUBLE
of the same year, and prepare ourselves
for the charges that the Republican oppo
sition will make against Mr. Tiiden nnd
liU friends in regard to the Sonth Carolina
muddle—and tlieir clitoris to control the
vote with money. There lias been no Con

BROWN ATTACKS UORDON.
When Gov. Brown attacked Senator
Gordon ill the Atlanta Conetitution for tins
apparent treachery to Tiiden, it brought
out a letter from Senator Gordon,
directed to Col, J. A. Billups, of
Madison, Ga., in which these words
are found: "When I saw that Mr.
Tildeu's cause was hopelessly lost-lost by
want of concert of action prior to the pas

Now, .Messrs. Editors, compare the
cipher dispatches with this declaration.
The electoral hill passed early in January,
and Senator Gordon saw the day was lost
before its passage by wont of concert of
action, and he saved South Carolina—to
Hayes. Was the concert of action, or the
want of it, to be accurate, the hesitation of
Mr. Teltonto authorize Mr. Haskell to
draw immediately ? Was this the dim*

words, "If Senator Gordon saved local self-
governments, will he tell the country how
he did it. when he did it and the means he
used to do it, or which act he did that con
tributed to that end? If he was no party
to the contract, nor to any understanding
about it, how can he claim credit for what
he did to restore local self-government to
those States? Why put on peacocks

all these questions are pertinent, and the
South Carolina Democrat who lights for
Tiiden this year will do so under ditllcul-

amazed to find what sort of bedfellows

[SPECIAL CORRE8PO!fPENCE.]
Atlanta, March 27.—Tliis morning a
warrant was drawn on the treasury calling
for over a quarter of a million of dollars.
The exact amount was Just $2fifi,005.07.
This sum is in payment of the school diafts
for the year 1883, and represents nearly
the apportionment of the school fund for
that jear. The entire fund apportioned
by the school commission was in round
numbers $282,000, leaving yet about
fl0,000. It will bo understood that this
amount has already been paid over to the
school hoards by the tax collectors of the
several counties, during the year 1883, un
der t. e admirable system of the disburse
ment of the fund, and the large warrant
above mentioned is drawn to cover the
drafts held by the treasurer as
vouchers. Heretofore this large amount
has figured as a part of the balance actu
ally in the treasury, when it has, in point
of fact, only been there in the shape of
vouchers.
The Treasurer’s forthcoming quarterly
report, April 1st, will make this appear as
a disbursement Iot the tirst time, and it
will cause the usually large balance to
shrink powerfully. The entire school fund
of the State is over $400,000, derived from
the half rentul of the State road, net re
ceipts from the inspection of fertilizer*.
$25,000 from the hire of convicts, the tux
ti liquor, on shows, and the money dc*
ved from the poll tax. The latter how-
rer, is not paid into the treasury, but dis-

COO, if required to make sure?”
To this answer was sent: "You can go
to fifty, if necessary.”
Alter much negotiation, it culminated in
“Weed's dispatch of tbelHth: "Majority
of board have been secured; cost is $80,000
—’with some detail about sending the
monty. (This was sent on Saturday.)
"You must hare the money at Bamum’s.

Smith Weed went, registered at Bar
mini’s, in Baltimore, Monday morning,
November 20.
William T. Pelton was In Baltimore that
morning, at another hotel, but took a car
riage and went to Bamum’s.
That day Weed telegraphed to a certain
Georgia Senator from Baltimore, in cipher,
to Columbia, 8. C:
"Matters arranged by returning board
agent. Inform Haskell and telegraph
news.”
At this Juncture, there was some unex
plained hitch. Later in the day, he tele
graphed to "Pope," who Is understood to
be the Senator before mentioned: "Have
the conrt hold on to the electoral votes un
til fixed or failure. May be little delay.”
The same day "Pope* tried his band on
the cipher, in these words, sent to Weed,
who had rushed to New York: "Send
.1,000 immediately to Haskell. This will
make court all right.”
On the 22d "Pope” telegraphed to Weed il
"Have Democratic friends in New York
inform tlieir friends by telegraph in New
Orleans, that court is firm and prospects
of electoral vote all right. Answer about
6,000 telegram."
On the 23rd "Pope” telegraphed to
Weed: " Expense la too heavy for the lec-
toral ticket unless money is sent to Has
kell. Five thousand Is imperatively nced-
$ $1 to prevent majority failing and involv
ing court and electoral vote. Telegraph

A HEALUTY REPORT.
Comptroller-General Wright stated to
your correspondent this rooming that for
several years there had been a marked im
provement in the reports of tax collectors
tc his office. Tlieir collections of taxes
are closer and closer every year,
and the insolvent iist is growing less every
year. This is due to the rigid enforcement
of his system requiring of all the tax col
lectors prompt settlements, and not allow-
ing them to run over.
A SUGGESTION ABOUT THE POLL TAX.
In regard to the poll tax, which has al
ways been an uncertain quantity, becuuse
there is no penalty for its non-payment,
except a restriction of the privilege of vot
ing, often evaded, and no means of en
forcing its collection,the Comptroller makes
a wise suggestin, which would seem in a
great measure to remedy the evil. It is
the enactment of a strict registration law,
requiring the payment of the poll tax be
fore registration. There Is room for con
siderable wise and healthful legislation on
the question of registration.
The treasury has paid to the lunatic asy
lum at Milledgeville the monthly appro
priation— $13,333—and $5,000 on the im
provement account.
A PINE DRAINAGE.
I read to-day In the Toledo Blade on ex
cellent letter written by Petroleum V. Sas
by on Atlanta, describing her wonderful
growth, progress, her manufacturing in
terests and other enterprises, pronouncing
it the coming city in the South. He in
dulged in a wholesome bit of humor about
drainage, which will lie appreciated here.
He says the drainage in Atlanta is splen

AGAINST HIGHER EDUCATION FOR THE NEGRO.
During the argument in this case some
or the Justice* of the Supreme Court indi
cated very cmplmtticnlly that they did not
.favor higher education for the negro, for
the reason that it tended to load up the
penitentiaries.
ABOUT A COW.
Case Tried Yesterday Before Justice
Cherry—Counter Warrants.
Some time last June, a negro woman
named Celie Cole moved from Twiggs
county to Rutland district, and among her
worldly possessions was a cow. The cow
did not like Rutland and in soma way
managed to get into the swamp and swam
the river and landed on Mr. William An
drews's place, in Twiggs county, about
twelve miles from Macon. A negro man
happening to see the cow rq»orted the fact
to the old negro woman, and she went
before Justice Cherry on Thursday and
swore out a possessory warrant.
Armed with the warrant, bailiff W. 11
Jones went out to Andrews’s place willi
the woman and secured the cow, which
was found peace:ully grazing on Andrews’s
pastures green. Mr. Andrews did not want
the cow to go, and offered a forthcoming
hand, but it was not accepted. The bailiff
and Celie started homeward with the cow,
but they were overtaken by Mr. William
Andrew s and his brother Joe, who wanted
to arrest Celie on a warrant charging her
with simple larceny. This warrant had
been hastily taken out before Mr. Joe An
drews, who is a Justice of the peace. They
demanded Celie. and both jxfinted pistols
at the bailiff. Ho told them that he was
unarmed, and that they could blaze away.
Celie finally went with them and the bail-
iffhrought the cow into town.
Yesterday the question of owner
ship came up before Justice Cherry.
The old woman was necessarily
absent by reason of being held on the war
rant in Jeffersonville, but Mr. Nat Bird
song appeared for her. It was proven by
witnesses that the cow belonged to the
woman ani the case was so decided.
In the meantime warrants for carrying
concealed weapons and for assault were
taken out against the two Andrews broth
ers, and they were placed under bond to
answer at the County Court.
Later in the day the Andrews brothers
sued out a warrant against Bailiff Jones
for attempting to rescue a prisoner. The
warrant was served by Deputy Sheriff
Hodnctt, and the case will be heard
Monday morning.
A Handsome Monument.
Sandeusville, Ga., March 25, 1884.—
Mr. O. P. Heath, Macon, Ga.—Dear Sib
The white bronze monument that you
erected over the gTavc of my wife gives
perfect satisfaction. It is greatly admired
by all who have^examined it. And it looks
better now than when it was first placed in
the cemetery. Although the cost is only
about one-third that of marble or granite,
yet I would not exchange the white bronze
for either marble or granite even at the
‘sameprice. Yc-urs very truly,
John B. Roberts, M. D.
These monuments are more durable
than marble. They never turn black, rust
or crack, and arc perfect in design. Mr.
Heath has placed a large number of these
monuments in the last two years, and has
yet to hear the first complaint. If you
want anything in the monumental line call
on him. He handles the celebrated crys
tal granite. (This granite took ’all the
awards at the Philadelphia [centennial.)

The New York Bobu* Butter Report.
Philadelphia Times.
The New York Senate committee on
public health, after spending several weeks
trying to discover how the great bulk of
the gilt-edged creamery butter of the coun
try fs manufactured, has made its report
and offered it* recommendations.
It finds that onc-half, at least, of all the
butter offered for sale in New York is com-
l»osed chiefly of tallow oil, bone oil or lard
oil. Out of thirty samples purchased by
the committee in New York city, only ten
were genuine. No labels to distinguish the
bogus butter from* the genuine are dis
played for the information of the pur
chaser, although required by law. Forty
million pounds of tho villuinou* stuff are
sold annually in the State, the bulk of
which Is manufactured in Chicago or other
Western cities. The loss to the State is
estimated at from fiv* to ten million dol
lar* yearly, while the profit to the manu
facturers and dealers In the bogus article
is enormous, they selling the stuff at prices
trying from 25 to 45 cents per pound
hue its cost average! only 14 cent*.
The committee lias done excellent work
In exposing the unsavory and dishonest
business so thoroughly, but what the but
ter-consuming public would like would be
some effective remedy. It doesn’t add
anything to the sum of human satisfaction
to know that the bread of the average
mortal is buttered with a villainous com
pound of tallow, bone and lard oils, with
no prospect that it is ever to be any bet
ter. There are laws on the subject already
in several States, which would be effective
if executed. But they are not executed,
the deception being so deftly practiced that
nothing short of a chemical analysis wifi
detect it.
The New York committeo recommend
an entire prohibition of tho manufacture
of the bogus butter and that the officials io
enforce the act be chosen from the men
engaged In the genuine dairy interests.
This would probably be effec tive in driving
the manufacture out of the State, but
would not protect the public against the
importa'ion and sale of the stuff from
other States. Nothing short of a system
of State inspection nnd branding, similar
to that practiced in relation to the sale of
l«troleum oil. would be effective against

There are over 2,000 families in Clay
county, and we suppose upon an average
Is one dog for every family, say 2,000
least; it will take$2 worth of
provisions (sucli as would fatten pigs,) per
month, io keen up a dog in living order,
which makes $25 per year to feed one doe.
Vow. if there are two thousand dogs in
Clay county.it will cost 6t*,fl00 annually to
feed them at the rate of $2 a head. Now,
the people are out of cow food, and buying
meat on time, and bre d to stuff the dog
with, we bear men say they
can’t pay their debts, they
have got no money to pay tha preacher,
none for the orphan and widow, yet they
can afford to stuff $24 worth of provisions
into tho worthless dog eve nr year. Now,
we ore greatiy in need of more school
fund*. One thousand dollars per annum
would help the school fund considerably,
and to raise that one thousand we recom
mend that a tax of fifty cents per dog be
collected and applied to the school fund.
Let u* try to get up a man to represent tw in
the Legislature who is In favor of taxing the
dogs. Here is fifty cent* for my dog. We
know* great many people will grumble at
having to pay® tax on their dogs, but it
will not be lost, as they will have a chance
to get it back in education.

—ey ranimothe house
and almost the first thing they saw was
the door of the Iron safe open.
The safe Is an old-fashioned one, and In
addition to the regular lock has an Iron
bar across the door, to which there is a
lock. This outside lock was broken with
a hatchet, and unfortunately the door had
not been locked. This furnished easy ac
cess to the safe.
Mi noon as tho door of the
safe was found open, word wuh
sent to Mr. Kullnid, who was at
the station, n mile away. Mrs. Bullard
was In the garden, and at the time the
thief was at work there W’as no one suve
himself in the house.
On examining the contents of the safe,
Mr. Bullard found that the thief lmd taken
one shot-bag containing two hundred sil
ver dollars und a purse containing sixty
Mexican dollars. The hag containing two
thousand dollars in gold, though as easy
to get at as the one containing the silver,
had been left, the rascal evidently making
a mistake as to tlie bag.
Mr. Tom Marcey nnd others immedi
ately mounted horses and started in pur
suit of the negro who, bad been seen
loitering around the premises. We do
not know whether they succeeded in cap
turing him or not.
Mr. Bullard offers $50 for the arrest of
the negro, and $50 for the recovery of the
money.
Mr. Barclay notified Chief WUcy of the
robbery.

THEY DIDN’T MARRY.
How R Wedding Was Prevented Yester
day Morning.
A marriage between two youthful people
waa pretented yesterday morning in the
nick of time. We will not gite the name,
tor obvious reasons, but will relate the cir
cumstances aa we beard them. It s<
that a young mechanic, hardly nineteen
years old, formed an'ardent attachment
for one of the pupils of the High Kcliool,
the fifteen-year-old daughter of a well
known citixen. He objected Io Hie visits
of the young msn and forbade him the
house. Nevertheless, it always was and
atwaya will be that young peopls who love
each other don’t mind parental frowns,
and they found a way to communicate
with each other, and it was arranged that
the marriage ahould taka place yesterday
at 2 o’clock.
Tha license waa procured by a third
party from Judge McManus, who was en
tirely ignorant of the agrs of the high con
tracting parties. Yesterday morning the
yonng lady left home aa usual for school,
but instead of going to school went to the
bouse of a mutual friend. The father
heard of the propoeed marriage in some
way, and immediately began a search for
the children. After looking almost every-
where, be found the hoo*e of the mutual
friend, and he knew by the number of
young ladies present that bis daughter
was there also, though they denied it. He
refused to listen to them and finally found
the expectant bride locked up In a closet.
8he waa taken home immediately.
We trust tha young people will decide to
wait several years before they unite desti
nies. Mnrriage is too serious a matter to
jump at and young people who contem
plate the step should go slow. If our
young friends truly love each other they
they can very eusily wait two or three
yean.
Whnv Our Cows Aro Doing.
Xcw England Farmer.
It has been estimated that the
average cow of the United States gives
about five quarts of milk per day
through the year,or 1800 quarts in all.
For a period of IKX) days, allowing the
cows to ga dry sixty-five days, this
would equal a yield of six quarts ]«-r
day, whiclt is probably not very far
out of the way. It is also estimated
that about one-hull of all the iniik pro
duced in tho country is converted into
butter and cheese, the oilier half being
used at home, or sold for family use in
tjie towns and cities. It probubly re
quires about twenty-seven pounds of
milk to yield a pound of butter, nnd
ten pounds for a pound of cheese, by
the ordinary methods practiced.
Thu number of milch cows in the
country is set at 10,000,000, which is
doubtless nearly correct. Over 12,000,-
000 upon famish are reported in the last
census, and there arc many others
kept by villagers, ono to a family. Tiie
product of each cow is nearly all con-1
sumed by three persons. Each inhabi
tant, on tlie average, consumes alsjnt
a pint and a half of inflk daily, in the
form of food and drink, and as much
more In tlie shape of butter and cheese.
There is the same amount of nutriment
in three and a half pounds of milk aa
there is in ono pound of beef. To
furnish in tlie form of beef the equiva
lent to tlie milk yielded in a single
year by our 15,000,000 milch cows
would require the slaughtering of
24,000,000 fat steers weighing, on an
average, 1,500 pounds each. Surely
the cow is worthy of much respect and
the best of treatment
