Senator Pugh, of Alabama, will re
ply to Mr. Edmunds concerning the

may say will not be so effective with

Washington society is somewhat
peculiar. On Tuesday Senator Ed
munds delivered his two hours and a
half speech against the President, and
that night went to Ids reception and
smiled as complacently as if he was a
friend of the administration. Such is
public life. Such is politics.
Judge Cowing, of New York, had
to tell his district attorney that he
“was altogether too blood-thirsty in
his prosecution of persons charged with
crime.” The State never wants au
innocent man to be found guilty, but
solicitors sometimes, in order that they
may score a victory, lose sight of that
fact.
Bk patient, Democrats! Cleveland,
according to the Atlanta Constitution,
is simply “unfolding a policy that was
lixed as the stars.” Fixed when and
by whom? By Mr. Cleveland in Ids
secret mind, of which the people were
ignorant until after the elcctiou, or is
reference had to some predestinated
policy lixed by Omnipotence?

It is strange that President Cleve

pledge made to the people, which he is
bound to redeem. His view of. the
law, expressed to George William
Curtis’s little baud of reformers after
the election and before inauguration,
is regarded as u pledge made to the
people at large. That letter to Curtis
was a huge blunder, and has brought
ridicule upon the President and em
barrassment to his party.
Senator Jones’s love affair is now a
national matter. While in Corcoran’s
gallery he was struck with a picture of
Charlotte Corday. “Well,” said Jones,
“if l ever sec a living face like that 1
would be willing to gaze at it forever.”
He soon met Miss Palm and faucied a
resemblance. While, like Mare Autho-
ny, the Senator is willing for such a
face and such eyes to “throw a world
away,” yet, if slie absolutely refuses
all entreaties it is to be hoped he will
not “throw himself away.”
The Gritfiu News is responsible for
this truihpet-tonedstory: “Someyears

The Secretary replied as follows:
Dear Sib;—I reply to your letter at
once that you may not misinterpret my
silence Into an approval of your sug
gestions. Ido not think that a citi
zen loses his political identity or Inde
pendence by accepting office under the
Government. He does, however,
commit himself to tiie service of the
country to the utmost extent required
for a faithful discharge of the duties
of his position. His politcal associ-
ciates ought not to expect ot him any
service to bis party at the expense of
his duty to the Goverment. Holding
au office of great pecuniary responsi-
bilty, and one requiring your constant
and personal attention, I cannot sanc
tion the propriety of your absence
from your post for the purpose of an
active engagement in the approaching
election of yonr State.
No one regards with more interest
than I do the success of the national
Democratic party at this important
period in our history. But that suc
cess must not be purchased at the ex
pense of the public interest, which
might be the case if those holding high
and important offices should abseut
themselves from their posts to conduct
the canvass. Regarding your letter In
the light of an application for leave of
absence, I have withheld my approval
for the foregoing reasons.
very respectfully,
U. Cobb,
Secretary of the Treasury.
Some days later, the pension matter
still tinder discussion, Mr. Burrows, of
Michigan, attempted to “show up”
what kind of consistency Cobb was
made of. “F. H. B.,” writing an ac
count of it to the Constitution, says:
•He hauled out an old report of an In
vestigating committee, made in fifty-
six, and read the testimony of a cus
tom house official, who declared that
lie was doing campaign work, with the
knowledge aud consent of the Secreta
ry of the Treasury, and Mr. Burrows
added, as if still reading from the re
port, Howell Cobb. The Republicans
roared lusterly, but they laughed too
soon. Mr. Hammond was instantly
on his feet, and in two minutes had
turned the laugh on them by showing
that the investigation to which Bur
rows referred had occurred over a year
before Howell Cobb became Secretary
of the Treasury, and that Burrows, in
Ids ignorance aud arrogance, had sup
plied Cobb’s name to give his antique
report some point.”
This little episode in the Congres
sional life of Col. Hammond shows the
Mr. Blaine and the Southern White*-.
In the second volume of his l»ook
Mr. Blaine criticises the Southern
whites severely for not exercising a
political control over the negroes after
the war. He says:
“With all the advantages of old as
sociation and in numberless instances
of kindly relation with the colored
race, the former masters showed them
selves singularly deficient in the tact
and management necessary to win the
negroes and bind them closely to their
interest, in the n»w conditions which
emancipation had created. Of the evil
results that flowed from tiie contest
now about to ensue—a contest tliat
had many elements of provocatics and ferenre to his snrroundings, there Is at
of wrong on both sides—one of the
most remarkable features was tiie
complete control with which the white
men from the North, entire strangers
to the negro, to bU habits and to his
Prejudices, so readily obtained over
iim. The late slave masters did not
adapt themselves to the new situation
They gave way to repining and re
gretting, to sulking and to anger, ‘
resentment and revenge, and there
nd revenge, and thereby
lost a great opportunity for binding
ether tiie two races in those ties
sympathy and confidence which
must be maintained as au indispensa
ble conoitiou of prosperity, or even
domestic order and the re:
importance of having a well posted
man In Congress.
The Atlanta correspondent of the
Telergraph says: “Atlanta has seldom
been so disturbed over a national po
litical event as over the appointment
of a New York negro as register of the
District of Columbia.” Why should
Atlanta be so disturbed ? When the
people spoke out against tiie appoint
ment of Beufroe she replied it was her
own affair. When, too, our Senators
were chosen the Atlanta argument
was “let us do what is pleasing to the
North.” Now, Mr. Cleveland, accord
lug to the love professed and interest
manifested, could not have possibly
done anything more pleasing to the
North than to have given his most lu
crative home office to a negro. A few
years ago,too,the Atlanta papers claim
ed to have a progressive Democracy
and those in the State who did not fall
into line at once were derisively called
“Bourbou Democrats.” As the cen
tre of progressive Democracy, Atlanta
ougiit not to turn up her nose at the
presidential recognition of negro
claims.
Tiie Indianapolis News thus con

tion : “It turns out just as we said yes
terday, the assailants and prosecutors
of the Chinese iu the recent outrages
on the Pacific slope arc aliens, with no
more right here than the Chinamen
Less'In fact, for they are less intelli
gent, industrious, sober and decent.
One Chinaman is worth two of any of
these rioters, who abuse our country
and its privileges as no foreigner dare
abuse the laws of the land they came
from and mean to go back to. The
message of the President, in regard to
the mobbing aud murder of Chinamen
at Bock Springs and other points, is as
frank and fair a document as becomes
the honest head of an honorable na
tion, and it confirms to the full all that
the News has been saying of the abuse
of the Mongolian on the Pacific slope
by the alien from some country of
Europe that he left, as Barrlugton, tiie
pick pocket, said, “for his country’s
good.”
The presumption is that the wardens
and vestry of St. Phillip’s Parish
would acquiesce in the judgment and
sentence of the Bishop. But they arc
evidently dissatisfied, and among
other tliiivfs in their dissenting resolu
tions say: “Would the Chief Justice
of the Supreme court of Georgia,
kuowiug positively that he would
have to review the evidence aud final
ly pass upon the case, present himself
at every session of the iuferior court
aud listen intently to the taking of
testimony, counsel freely with the pros
ecution, use his authority to command
tiie presence of witnesses in his behalf,
and, in fact, so completely identify
himself with the prosecution as to make
it a matter of common remark that lie
seemed a part of it? We think not,
but tliat is just precisely what Bishop
Beckwith did in the case of Dr. Arm
strong.”
Mr. Norwood’s satire on Bouteile
Henderson, of Iowa, was published iu
full in Monday’s Telegraph. It is a
rich take-off. Years ago the whole
South cujoyed Norwood’s satire on the
carpet-bagger, and the civil rights bill,
aud Georgians poured congratulations
upon him. Many of them, however,
withdrew them a few years later when
Norwood ran for Governor, and his
satire once so heartily enjoyed was
garbled and twisted aud put in false
positions and made to rebound as grim
sarcasm on the author. Let the future
take care of itself. For the present we
have certainly enjoyed the humorous
unmasking of the gentleman from
Iowa, “tiie tendency of whose mind is
to fraternity.”

To a northern man not well posted
In political afialrs it may indeed seem
strange that “the former masters
showed themselves singularly dell
clent” in not winning the negroes to
their political views. Bat sneb a pre
tension on the part of Mr. Blaine is
absurd. To make it appear bow the
Southern people blundered Mr. Blaine
recites theready mastery obtained over
the negro by the white meu of the
North who came South.
The Southern people excited every
possible influence at their command to
win the negroes to their side. The
more anxious their efforts, the more
earuest their appeals, the more solid
and compact the negroes became in op
position. The negroes turned a deaf
ear to every entreaty.
Nor is it strange that the Southern
whites failed to influence tiie negroes
iu politics.
A Republican Congress, flushed with
victory, maddened with fanaticism,
and enraged with what they termed
“the rebellious spirit” of the South
conceived the policy of reconstruction
—a policy which had for Its object the
complete overthrow of the political
power of “the former masters,” and
througli their disfranchisement and
helplessness, and tiie enfranchisement
of the negroes, to establish Republican
ascendancy over the Southern States
and tii us forever perpetuate the Re
publican party in power.
To this end our people were treated
with marked disrespect and contempt.
Our States were put under military
rule. Our Legislatures were disbaud-
ed at will. The negro was petted and
humored. Freedmen Bureausjwere
everywhere established. And to aid
tiie military and the Bureaus in alien
ating the negfbes from their “former
masters”, political agents—known as
carpet baggers—were seut in all the
counties iu all the States. The negroes
were organized into secret Union
Leagues. They were zealously taught
to not trust the “former masters” In
political affairs—that these masters
were still disloyal aud were intriguing
to put them back into slavery. No
Democrat was allowed to enter or be
long to one of these leagues. They
saw what these northern emissaries
were doing, but they were absolutely
powerless.
It was all new to the negroes. The
carpet-baggers were all new born
Moseses leadingthem into the promised
land of bossing and ruling-over tiie old
slave-holders. The Year of Jubilee
liad come! The bottom rail was on
top. There was but one way to cir
cumvent it all—that was for the South
as one man to go over into the Repub
lican party. This Governor Brown
saw aud this he advised. But the pro
position was too repugnant to a noble
l>eople. And this refusal is what Mr.
Blaine construes into our “repining,
and regretting, and sulkiug.” Biaine
calls it our “lost opportunity.” If
Mr. Cleveland continues his present
policy three years longer Blaine’s
declaration may sound like grim pro
phecy iu our ears.
The Atlanta Constitution referring
to the appointment of a negro to suc
ceed negro Douglass as register of
Deeds, says: “The man who organiz
ed victory out of defeat is surely en
titled to a patient hearing at the bauds
of his party.” This “patient hearing’
argument is not new at all. From the
beginning the South has waited pa
tiently thinking the policy so dear to
her hopes would be at last started.
But the President, in his manifesto to
the Senate, anuounced to bis party he
would continue the same old way “for
the oetter government of the people.”
That announcement of the President,
made us feel awfully bad from
Southern Democratic standpoint. But
we are cut off now from all possible
iiope of a change of policy on the part
of the “man of destiuy,” for the Con
stitution tells us't is but “one step be
yond the appointment of Pearson, the
Republican, postmaster of the great
city of New York,* ’ and “is simply an
incident, in the unfolding of a policy
tliat was as fixed as the stars.
The Augusta Chronicle has met Mr.
John F. Armstrong since his return
from Ireland. Mr. Armstrong thinks
Home Rule will be assured to the
Emerald Isle, and says Mr. Parnell is
satisfied with the course of political
events. The Chronicle questioned Mr.
Armstrong about the suffering In Ire
land and received tills answer: “Suf
fering may prevail in isolated places,
but thrift and prosperity are as mani
fest to one making a tour of Ireland as
is apparent in the States. The robust,
rosy-cheeked peasantry do not betray
signs of want or poverty so much al
luded to. The people are not in the
same condition as a few years ago.”
Two hundred thousand copies of
Congressman Norwood’s late speech
have been ordered by Western Coi -

ridicule is the best argument for

A petition has been filed in the
Superior Court of Sumter county for
the incorporation of the Southwest
Georgia Immigration aud Land Asso
ciation. Its object, as its name implies,
is to promote and encourage immigra
tion, and to buy, sell, rent ai.d ex
change real estate, and carry on the
business of a real estate agency In all
its brauches, with its principal office at
Americus, Georgia, with power to pur
chase and hold property, real and per
sonal, to sue and be sued, and to exer
cise all powers usually conferred upon
corporations of similar character as
may be consistent with the laws of
Georgia.
Judge Joel Branham, of the Rome
Circuit, in reference to the matter of
couuty jails, says: “A great many of
tiie county jails In Georgia are a dis
grace to our civilization. They are
built with no reference whatever to the
comfort of those who may be compelled
to occupy them; while, from a sanitary
point of view, they are often hardly lit
to be occupied by animals, let alone
human beings. With few exceptions,
they are not furnished with the means
of ventilation, and tiie bad air wbicli
the prisoners are compelled to breathe
often breeds diseases.
The Northern press taunt the South
ern people for resorting to lynch law
for tiie punishment of certain crimes.
At Eatontowu, N. J.,on last Saturday,
an old negro was lynched for outrag
ing Miss Herbert, a slender, delicate
woman of 19 years of age. It said:
“tiie community Is rejoiced over the
swift retribution that has overtaken the
negro.” Of course, it should be. And,
when similar crimes receive similar
punishment in Southern communities
it is right to rejoice over “the swift
retribution.”
The Disston land and improvement
company is doing, it is said, a wonder

times in the Vermont Senator an in
credible amount of Irascibility and
passion. In executive sessions especial
ly, it is said, he places himself under
obligations to his brother Senators for
their forbearance. He has a way of
dropping bitter and caustic remarks in
a manner that goads his enemies to
despair and seems to afford him much
the same amusement that a boy de
rives from torturing a whelp. For a
man of his experience in a legislative
body he displays a strffnge impatience
of contradiction, ne is Incapable of
believing that any qualities reside in
him which are not great. 1
We wonder if it ever occurs to the
President that all his troubles have
sprung from his untimely giving him
self away jnst after his election to a
club of Mugwumps. When he said he
would “suspend only for cause” he
committed a blunder. A man suspend
ed now goes out of office with
persion. Nothing would have been
thought of suspensions had the Presi
dent kept his mind to himself. But
now be is into it, and as his policy Is
‘fixed as the stars”,there is no help for
it. When the Senate made unjust war
upon him aud before the -utterance of
his recent manifesto in which he de
clared he would continue in tiie same
old way, a grand opportunity present
ed itself for a change of programme.
But tiie opportunity is gone. A re
verse action uow would bring upon
him the laugh of tiie nation. Yet to
pursue It, will ruin tiie Democratic
party. It will be almost impossible to
rally it from its insufferable disgust.
To fail to have takeu advantage of tliat
opportunity was one of those blunders
in the altairs of civil administration
which Mr. Blaine denominates a crime.
A most cold-blooded murder was
committed at Lula ou Saturday night
last. Deputy Marshal John Merritt,
F. F. Cape aud Joel Coffee were slttiug
in Logan’s restaurant chatting social
ly, when John Coffee came in and
took part in the conversation. He
said to Merritt: “Let me sec you a
moment,” and they went out of the
room. Coffee shot the unsuspecting
man and killed him. Tiie most urgent
and active efforts should be made to
catch the murderer and bring him to
justice. But we cannot see why Mar
shal Nelms and his deputy marshals
should be called upon to take charge
of the case. The fact that the man
murdered was one ot Nelms’s deputy
marshals does not give him any special
jurisdiction. Merritt was not ou o
cial business, but was at a restaurant.
The county authorities were the ones
to act in the premises. Why attempt
to construe this killing as an infrac
tion of tiie revenue laws of the Federal
government? It is a crime against the
State of Georgia, and should be treated
as such.
The Washington, Ga., Chronicle
tells this as one of old Judge Dooly’s
stories: “Judge Dooly was a strong
Whig, and never let an opportunity
pass to ‘poke fun’ at his opponents,
the Democrats. In his day the Demo
crats were a lively set of men, who in
dulged in brawls and fisticuffs when
ever they felt like having any fun,
and much of the time of every court
was consumed in the trial of members
of this party, which was made up
mainly of the wool hat boys. When
the charge to each grand jury was
finished on Monday mornlug, at the
different courts, Judge Dooly would
annouucc, ‘Gentlemen, I will an
nounce now, while I think of it, that
the Democratic docket will be called
on Wednesday morning.' If the
Judge had to hold court in Georgia
now, he would say that tiie Republi
can docket would be called on that
day.”
Dr. Hawthorne,in his last Sunday's
sermon to his Atlauta congregation,
showed the Christian life is one of
ens and of bondage. Among the
many virtues which make up this life
Dr. nawthorne says: “One of the
elements is loug suffering. It is no
small thing for a man to attain that
fortitude which will enable him to en
dure great wrongs, for months and
years without a murmur, to stand si
lent and hear his good name defamed
and his character destroyed. No one
heeds an accusation coining from some
vagabond without standiug in the com
munity. He cares nothing for the mis
representations of a literary scaven
ger, who makes a small living from
the fr>e lunches on the barroom coun
ter aud the few pennies he gets by
peddling sensational lies to sensational
papers. It makes a great difference,
lieu he stands under the false accu
sations of men of influence and of great
weight iu their community. The inau
who can with Christian resignation
endure tliat, is ready for his crown.”
Gov. McDaniel is said to have ex
pressed himself as iollows hi regard to
his candidacy: “I recognize your zeal

grateful for It; but I cannot but sec
that there is a prejudice, grown out of
custom, of one's being Governor more
than twice. As to the question of con
stitutionality as to my eligibility, I
have no apprehension, for I am quite
sure there is no bar to my eligibility,
The objection I do see is that preju
dice against a three-term Governor.
This I know is very difficult to com
bat. Indeed, I feel it a barrier almost
Insurmountable. More, I feel It due
the people not to test their friendship
and confidence on the question. For
these reasors, I now think it best that
my friends know I am not a candidate
for the nomination.”

—The Athens Banner: “The Amer
icus Republican endorses Judge Sim
mons’s proposal to submit the guber
natorial race between himself and
Major Bacon to a vote of Bibb aud
those counties that bound it. This
would certainly be a nice come off, for
all the other couuties in the State to be
disfranchised, and the creating of the
highest officer in the State to be left to
a half dozen counties. The vote of
Bibb county will have no more bear
ing on this question than the vote of
Clarke. Major Bacon did right in ig
noring such a ridiculous proposition.
There is neither sense nor justice in it.
—Augusta merchants with small
capital are becoming alarmed at the
rapidly increasing number of China
men in tliat city. The green grocers
say that competition is impossible, and
tliat if their influx is not checke 1 they
will drive tiie white traders from the
town. Alieady the Council lias been
petitioned to refuse to grant license to
the Chinese, but this the City Fathers
refused to do. Small merchants are
becoming excited over the affair, and
vow tliat if something is not done to
protect their interests they will take
up the idea suggested in Seattle and
elsewhere West, aud force the pigtails
out of tiie town. Probably forty
stores at AuguBta are run by Chinese,
and tbeir population ranks in tiie hun
dreds.
The “cause of Boston is the cause of
us all.” So Senator Colquitt thinks.
He has been to Boston aud made a
grand temperance speech. He was
much applauded by his audience, and
took it by storm. Senator Colquitt
has struck the right line. The North
needs just such good talk as lie can
give it. 'They need reformation bad.
The reception given to Senator Col
quitt was a warm one for Boston. It
was au odd sight to witness in Music
Hal). We always said if you want to
fill up the bloody chasm, bury the
bloody shirt, and all that sort of thing,
the Northern people were the ones to
convert. They needed reconstruction
more than we did.

Hon. Pat Walsh, editor of tiie Au
gusta Chronicle, lias this to say of tiie
President's policy: “Mr. Clevelaud
must see tliat his kindness to Republi
cans has done him no good with them,
and only weakened him with his own
party. He may expect no mercy from
tiie Senate Republicans and should
give them no quarter. If, to-morrow,
he were to turn out the thousands of
spies and informers in tiie Departments
and put good Democrats in tbeir
places, he would electrify tbe whole
country. A mighty retaliatory stroke
of that land would not only make the
Republican Senators less audacious,
but it would bring tbe Democracy
back to their colors with au enthusi
asm prophetic of future triumph.
