Mr. Tilden is physically, ail of these
visitors hear testimony to the fact that
he retains, as does an old flirt, the sem
blance of the airs and graces which
once propped ail suitors at her feet.
While denying himself to them all
as a candidate, Mr. Tilden has man
aged to pick out of them their real
preferences, and to say something to
each that sent him away with his
mouth pleasantly puckered
Somebody forgetful of the wise saw,
“never to send a boy to mill,” ran in
a callow youth on the old man, in the
hope that as children’s ears are said to
be pitchers, lie might bring away some
thing valuable. The old man toyed
and dallied with him on a sofa, whis
pered kind things in his cars, and gave
the child his picture.
“Twelve journals,” it is alleged, im
mediately scrambled for the opportun
ity of undressing the boy, who swore
that the good old man was strong and
healthy, and told him something and
then swore lie didn’t.
Xcxt, a Pennsylvania politician
called and enjoyed a tete-a-tete.
The ancient flirt was still
obdurate. He would not run,
but Sam Randall was a good man.
Then a Western statesman sent in his
card, was received and denied, hut Mc
Donald was a good man.

akin to the one who always turns up in
Atlanta from Southwestern Georgia,
at the inception of a State campaign,
found Mr. Tilden in about the same fix
that helms been for fifty years. Then
the great unknown climbed in upon
Mr. Tilden, and Mr. Tilden climbed up
stairs and called the great unknown up
to take a drink of—“good whisky.”
The great unknown got what he
wanted. Within a week General
Gordon has stormed the battlements
of Greystonc castle. Ttie old baron

I "southern Sympathy.
Some foolish things were spoken
ami done during the progress of the
Cincinnati riot.
A dispatch from Richmond informed
the country, that the riot had “attracted
widespread attention in the South.
Expressions of sympathy for the Cin
cinnati people are heard on ail sides.
There have been some criticisms of the
conduct of some of the Ohio military,
especially by old Confederate veterans,
both soldiers and officers. Offers of
assistance, if it was needed, were ready
to be proffered the Ohio authorities at
any moment by the Virginia military.”
We are glad that such offers of mil
itary assistance were not made. If
they had been made, they would of
course have been declined.
But suppose the offers had been made
and accepted, and a Southern regiment
had made its appearance on the streets
of Cincinnati, the fury of the mob
would have been intensified, and the
horrors of the riot would have been
increased ten fold. The Southern
men, we feel sure, would have be
haved themselves modestly and cour
ageously. But a Northern city is no
place for Southern troops when a mob
is aoroad. Leave the people beyond
the Ohio and the Potomac to settle
their own local troubles. They are
abundantly able to do it, and the pres
ence of Southern military organisations
would only add fury to the flames.
It will he time for Southern soldiers
to shoulder their muskets and march
to the North, when a foreign foe is to
lie encountered. Should thyt occasion
ever arise, they will demean them
selves like brave men, and return
only when the battle has been non.
The present State house officers will
all probably be re-elected, except
Treasurer Speer, who declines to run
again. There will be a sharp contest
for that office, the most important in
some respects in the gift of the people.
In the second, seventh, eighth and
ninth Congressional district, tho pres
ent Representatives will, it is thought,
have no deposition, while it is probable
that there will he contests in tho first,
third and tenth. In the fourth, fifth and
gixtli districts, exciting races may be
expected. In tho fifth, where Captain
Jackson is contesting tho district with
Mr. Hammond, an exciting canvass
has already been inaugurated. Judge
.Stewart is supposed to lie conducting a
still limit from the bench, intending to
openly enter the race if Captain Jack-
son secures the delegation from Ful
ton. And within tho last two days the
name of Mr. Mynatt lias been an
nounced.
It is now generally believed there
will be a lively tussle in the Sixtii dis
trict. There has been no formal an
nouncement of Colonel Hardeman’s
candidacy, but every one seems to
think lie will Bhy his castor into tho
ring sooner or later. Letters^ are said
to he pouring in upon him ask
ing him to allow the use of
his name. Many seem to entertain
the opinion that Mr. Blount will not
be acandidate, if Col. Hardeman con
sents to run, and parties are said to be
offering bets already that Hardeman
will he the next representative from
this district.
As to the Legislature, the woods are
just full of candidates. We are rejoiced
at this. Out of so many patriots, the
people ought to be able to select
enough good men to represent them in
the General Assembly.
Sim Culture*
We present this morning an inter
view with Mr. Ryle, of Paterson,
X. J., the oldest silk manufacturer in
the United States, a protectionist and
Democrat.
Mr. Ryle is of course an enthusiast
upon his line of business, having spent
sixty years of his life in the manufac
ture of silk. His opinion as to the silk
culturo in tho South is very clear and
interesting, and ho very satisfactorily
explains tho causes under which it has
hitherto lagged. Xowtimt tho matter is
revived and considerable interest man
ifested over Bilk culture in Georgia, it
will be well for the people to read and
consider tho words of a veteran in the
silk business.
We can see no reason why the
Southern States should nqt become the
great silk-producing country of the
world. Here istiieclimate of all others
for tho business, lands cheap and
adapted for tlie cultivation of food for
the silk-worm, and a population ready
for employment. All the necessary
conditions are favorable, and not one
circumstance, other than ignorance of
methods, exists to operate against tlie
opening up of the industry.

this place during the latter part of Oc

and necessary steps.
Something more, we may say a great
deal more, must ho done to make the

tlie Agricultural Society and the people
are prepared to join hands in securing
this result.
Tlie Agricultural Society has been
steadily declining in popular confi
dence and respect. It is not proposed
to make a minute examination into tlie
causes for this. For several years alter
tlie war a subsidy was granted it out
of the Stato treasury and several (airs

NACON LIGHT ARTILLERY.
This company, formerly the Napier Ar
tillery, was one of the finest equipped bat
teries of light arti'lery In tlie Confederate
service, with ninety-six men rank and file,
eighty-two horses and eight mules. It
was organized in 1801, left Macon for 8a-
vannali under the command of Captain
Leroy Napier, Jr., January, 29th, 1802,and
was attached to Walker’s brigade. Tlie

Florida's Future.
The growth of Florida during thc
last six years has been unprecedented
and by tlie growth wc mean not oniy
tlie actual increase of population and
improvements, hut tlie growth of val
ues. It would not be an exaggeration
to assert tliat tlio average valno of land
throughout tlie State has within six
years increased live hundred per cent,
In improved lands the average value
has increased probably more than one
thousand |icr cent. These tempting
figures have thrown into that State
thousands of settlers, and led thous
ands ot people in Georgia and Alabama
to invest there in real estate. Tlie
boom still continues and will be likely
to continue as is easily demonstrated
by the following show ing:
-The great industry of F'loridn is, nf
course, the orange culture. The fabu
lous sums acquired there in the orange
business have tempted the wholo ad
venturous element of tlio country, and
wherever land fit for tlie cultivation of
tlie orange lias been offered for sale, the
owner has licen able to secure, almost
always, ids own figures. While other
great inducement* have helped build
upthepreeent prosperity, tlie fact
admitted that it rest* mainly upon tlio
orange. Tlie greatest possible blow
tliat could be struck at tlie State’s wel
fare, would he an over-production
the orange. This possibility lias licen
urged for years by the timid. Will an
over-production occur? Not soon,
Thc reader will be surprised to learn
that tlie demand for the fruit is now
great, that lost year, on top'of Florida'
largest orange crop, there were 130 car
goes of Mediterranean oranges brought
into New York by steamships, and
twenty-fonr cargoes by sailing vessels,
These comprised 280,802,180 oranges
on inerrate over tlie preceding year
104,011 boxes, or 30,501,870 oranges.
In addition to these, there went into
tire same port from too West Indies,
Central and South America 33,150,303
oranges, an increase over toe preced
ing year ol 1,980,770.
It may lie said that of all Florida
fruits the increase of importation was
marked.
There seems but little room in these
figures for a prophecy looking
ward an abatement of the Flor-
ida “boom.” Tlie State produces
