The annual rent exacted of Irish ten
ants for one acre of tillable soil is
enough to buy two or three acres in
America. The natural feitllity of the
soil, tlie ease with which it is cultiva
ted and tlie economy of the tenants
render payment possible in years 01
g.*od seasons, but, iu short crop years,
great distress is prevalent.
Under tlie stimulus given to agri
culture by the introduction of tlie po-
tato by Raleigh, the population of
Ireland Increased rapidly until in 1845
it reached eight millions, but in 1881 »t
had been reduced by emigration to
five millions. This decrease is mainly
due to relations of landlords, and ten
ants. A large proportion of the land*
of Ireland are owued by foreigners
who never come iu coutact with their
tenants, and who are exacting in tin-
terms of rent, which is never iu kiln)
but 011 a money value.
The crops of Ireland are what we
call in America side crops, such as po
tatoes, peas, cabbage, bay, flax, etc.,
and upon their sale are the tillers o!
the soil dcjiendent.
The negro tenants of Southwest
Georgia are, on au average, in affluent
circumstances as coni|>ared to the
Irish. Their holdings are small, and
the improvements are of the rudest
structure, often one roof affording
protection to cow. pig, pony and fam
ily from the wiuter’s cold and sum
mer’s heat.
The rural population of Ireland is
4,000,000, ami the uiimber of acres
under cultivation only 5,000,000.
Tlie question of landlord and tenant i*
one fraught witli the most momentous
consequences to both Ireland and Eng
land, and further itidiflerence to it by
Paliameiit will doubtless result iu
serious crisis. English rule in Ireland
lias not been characterized by tin*
wisest policy or the most humane
considerations. Ireland lias been
rebellious and insurrectionary,
yet it has been “more sinned
against than sinning.” Since tl e
Norman invasion of Iceland, uioie
than right centuries ago, England Inis
dominated her with the most galling
oppression. _ The time for Irish eman
cipation has come. The public sense
of injustice has been aroused. The
American press in no way sympa
thizes with dynamiters boycotting
or lawless violence, but encourages the
efforts of Irish patriots in their endeav
ors to secure for Ireland, under the
operation of law, au emancipation
from oppression and au amelioration
of the suffering condition of her peo

State Banks.
It Is possible, we suppose, to make
the issue of State banks absolutely
safe. The News and Advertiser is
110 eueiuy to any S3'Steiu ot banking
that would iucrease the volume of our
currency, that could afford security to
holders of bills.
One of the greatest obstacles to suc
cess of tlie old State banking system
wa* that the currency was local, and
bills of exchange were not in general
use, on account of the distrust of the
issues of the banks giving the bills.
Now there is such an extensive ex
change of commodities b‘tween the
sections, that bunks might, at all times,
have a ciedit upon which to draw
without remitting currency. But un
less some better system of securing the
issue than existed before the war can
be devised, the discount on it in other
States will seriously hamper inter
states commerce.
The objection to an Ksue secured by
mortgage cu real estate is *0 serious
that such a plan should uevei he
thought of. The- very state of facts
that would cause the banks to sus|»eud
payment would, doubtless, make a
sale of the property impossible, or if
sold, it would be at such a sacrifice that
it would uot be able to pay off tlie
issue.
What the country needs and must
have to continue the confidence neces
sary to a healthy state of trade, is a
currency that is redeemable at once.
A poor man might accumulate in bills
an amount chat represented a year’s
labor, and a collapse of the bank would
cause him to lose it all, or to be with
out its use for twelve mouths. Multi
ply that individual loss many time*,
aud one can readily understand the
distress that prevailed iu 1857, when
all the bank* of the Uuited Slates
were shaky, and nearly every one sus
pended. The uatioiial banking sys
tem lias some objectionable fea tires,
but it afford* such protection to hold
ers of hills that it maititaiu.sco!ifidetice
in their value.

Persecuting the Fallen.
Some one, we know not who, ha.-
sent t.ie News and Advertiser
pamphlet of twenty pages entitled,
A Review of life Case of the Dioeest
of Georgia vs. Rev. J. G. Armstrong.”
Iu the introduction of this re view,
which contains all the evidence eiicito
on the trial damaging to Dr. Armstrong,
aiid a carefully compiled syuoiisis ot
the sensational publications that aj»-
|>eared iu the Cincinnati pa|iers and
brought about the scandal, the 1111-
kuowii author sets up for himself tin
claim that he is a disinterested parti,
ami that he Is perfectly impartial be
tween tlie church and the defendant.
He says:
I had nothing to do with tlie trial, nor an.
I connected with the Bishop or Dr. Arm
strong in an way. 1 barely know them. • *
As a matter of law iu the cnurch, the convic-
11011 aud senteuce was absolutely correct. • '
II is the essence of good citizenship in -tate aud
•<od membership in chuich that there ahou ;
_e ready Militms.-iou to sutliomy. In view
of this consideration, aud iu order to satis!»
myself about the esse, 1 pn-cored a coppv 01
the rejioi t of the trial and read it. That lee
t » the publication of the following pages.”
We have very little confidence In.
and less respect for, the professed aim
self-attested impartiality of the un-
kiiowu individual who imposed upon
himself the labor ami expense of pre
paring and circulating this pamphlet.
To us he appears in the light of a per
secutor—one who would “.-trike a
man when he is down,” and stand in
the shade of darkness, too, to deal ti.e
blow.
Dr. Armstrong has been tried, con
victed ami sentenced. There being no
ap)>eal from the |M>wer that has sus-
Itended Idm from the ministry for five
years, he has, after appealing in vain
for mercy, and, afterwards, fiiiug his
protest, gracefully accepted the decree.
He is living a 11 upright Christian life,
ami occupies tlie position, both before
his church and tlie public, of one who
has been already humiliated to an ex
tent that can be endured with forti
tude by those alone who seek tlie
grace aud have the coiisoling promise*
of one “greater than these,” who hath
felt the merciless weight of human
persecution, and was tlie friend of even
the unhappy Magdalen—ami rebuked
those who would have stoued tier to
death.
Why not let Dr. Armstrong alone,
now that he is uuder sentence and
is paying the penalty ot his imiiscre-
tiou? It is unmanly and uuehristiaii
to attack him now, or to resurrect the
scandal which pulled him down from
the high position which he held in the
chlire... Shame on this miserable
creature who, without letting either
the object of his persecution or the
would know who he is, stands iu the
dark and throws stones at this fallen
man!

Mr. John N. Dunn, President of
the Atlanta aud HawkiusvlUe railroad,
says, iu the Constitution of yesterday,
that if tlie people of Atlanta will add
$25,000 to their subscription of $50,000
already made to the projected road, it
will insure its being built at once.
Tlie directors have already secured
$175,000 in valid subscriptions. They
need only $75,000 more to assure suc
cess. Of this amount they can raise
$50,000 along the ronte. Tlie remaiis-

No city can hope to prosper unless
the spirit of progress and co-oiieration
possesses her citizens. Individual suc
cesses aggregated make public prosper
ity, but individual success is limited
by the degree of public s|Jrit and co-
o|>eratioit that characterize a commu
nity. Co-o|ieratio!i should exist
among its citizens ill everything that
w'ould tend to improve a community.
There should be co-oiieratiou in secur
ing wise legislation, and the observ
ance of tlie law should be enforced,
ami all held to a strict accountability
for its willful violation.
\ community never rises to a high
er plane than is occupied by the aver
age of its citizens. Individual excesses
or crimes affect a community’s reputa
tion, and as they are multiplied, in
such pro} ortiou does it suffer.
On the other hand, moral, upright
citizens elevate iu public e*tiitiatiou
any community.
As the reputation of a community is
de|>eudent upon the individual charac
ter of its citizens, individual responsi
bility to the public is great, and should
enforce a correct and blameless life.
Community pride should be strong,
and restrain its lueiubers.Hke those of a
family,from tlie commission 01 any act
that would bring reproach. Secoml in
importance to the reputation of a com
munity is tlie public prosperity, which
can lie greatly augmented by harmony
ami uuioit in action among its mem
bers. Differences of opinion prevail
wherever men collect, but au expres
sion of the opiiiiou of the majority
should stop all bickeriugsaiid Lite hour
for actiou should fiud a united people
working to advance the public weal.
Tliere is strength iu i.iiitibers; they
carry moral weight. One member of
a community could not effect a great
retoriUytmi hundreds could rouceutratc
their euergie* ami accomplish an al
most impossible task. The great ca
bles that support the enormous w eigi.t
or Brooklyn bridge are composed of
many individual wires.
With any needed enterprise one
mau woyld, |»erhaps, be unable to fur
nish tlie means neccsssary to
its establishment, while many
might combine thus rend* ring
it of easy necomplishint. The world
is indebted to co-operation for rail
roads, manufactories aud all industrial
enterprises, aud must look to it for the
many improvements yet needed for
the amelioration of tlie condition of the
huinau race.
If capital aud labor should co-oper
ate together iu a spirit of fairness that
would insure mutual concessions tlie
differences that now divide them woald
disappear. _
Mr. James Callaway, who has
beet: with tlie News and Advertiser
been very uncomfortable eve; since
the memorable caucus, with its 1 2-5
majority, stultified him, tlie recognized
leader of tlie Turner delegation, and
placed him in a position far more unen
viable than that of the man, let him be
friend or foe, that raises the white flag.
While “running with tlie hare aod
holding with the lioumls,” previous to
the meeting of die convention, he,had
agreed to let the seuior editor of the
News and Advertiser cast liis vote
ou the qiiesiinu of the majority or two-
thirds rule, which was, as he well
kuew, equivalent to agreeing to vote
for the two-thirds rule which had al
ways prevailed in the conventions of
tills Congressional district. He was
the editor of 31 r. Turner’s home pa
per, and, by reason of his long service
in that capacity, was the recognized
leader of Mr.'Turner’s own county’s
•le’egation aud of his followers through
out the district. His promise, to ad
here to tlie two-thirds rule, under
which Mr. Turner defeated Tete
Smith aud was himself first nominated,
was, therefore, naturally taken by tbe
friends of tlie other candidates before
the Camilla convention in good faith.
But when he was called upon to make
Ids promise good he didn’t do it. He
lidu’t even raise the “white flag” and
explain that tiie unenviable position
which he then occupied before the
convention and in the eyes ot those of
his friends who had pinned their faith
to him, was due to tbe binding action
»f tlie caucus.
The News and Advertiser ex
pressed its disappointment at the un
expected and inconsistent course pur-
uetl l»y Mr. Turner’s friends, and this
wa< the signal for au onslaught from
editors Perham, Russell, Underwood
and others. As Mr. Turner had be
come tlie Democratic nominee, the
News and Advertiser did not want
to continue au uuseemly and unpleas
ant family quarrel, aud quietly sub
mitted to tlie harmless fusilade. If we
begged quarter while uuder the fire of
our esteemed contemporaries we did
uot know it; but brother Perham, with
evideut fear that, if tbe controversy
continued, loyal forbearance might
cease to De a \ irtue and a retaliating
shell might be throwu where it was not
wanted, rushes to the front and hoists
the “white ll ig” for the Thomasville
Times ami the News and Advertiser.
Calm yourself, good friend; we shall
not disturb you as you pose as the
martyr of the caucus, nor pluck one
laurel from your corrugated brow.
Ben. Russell evidently thinks that he
nominated Turner, and good brother
Underwood thinks he did it, while Bill
Spence, of Camilla, and a few other
village statesmen think that if they
didn’t do it severally and collectively,
they were there aud helped; but thou,
oh! Cassius, art the martyr of the oc
casion. Pose on! Leave not thy ped
estal to shield us with the white flag
any more. Let brothers Underwood
aud Russell race on; let each claim
that he “did it,” and let the village
statesmen lay the flattering unction to
their souls that they “helpedbut
reserve unto thyself alone the pedes
tal of martyrdom that has been raised
for thee iu the Second Congressional
district out of the mistakes of the dis
loyal subjects in thy training.
The New York Herald printed the
following sensational special on Tues
day morning, and, as it created con
siderable comment in Gotham, it was
tion of yesterday:
Ottawa, Opt, September 20.—Prof.
E. Stone Wiggins, of the meterologi
cal bereau, says that the twenty-ninth
instant will witness one of the most
terrific subterraniau upheavals ever
known on this continent. Inasmuch as
Dr. Wisgius foretold the Cltarleston
earthquake, his prediction is regarded
as worthy of weight. Being seen by
a reporter this evening he said:
“It is certain that an earthquake
will visit tiie Southern States on tlie
tweuty-ninth of this month. The dis
turbance will cross the Atlantic, and
will, in all probability, effect Southern
Europe. South America will be
1 reeding liable to be affected, and tin*
upheaval will be a severe one. Then
is no danger from earthquakes
Prut* cti u iu (he South.
The Republicans liave inaugurated a
scheme by which they evidently hope
to carry several Congressional dis
tricts in tlie South. Protection is the
blind that is to be used, but the whole
scheme is so transparent that South
ern Democrats will—not be so stupid
ns not to see through it.
The mining districts are the fields of
operation for this nice little Republi
can scheme. Nearly all the manufac
turing concerns of tbe South, and more
e5|>ecially in the iron regions, are
owned by Northern men, who have
come with their millions from New
York ami Pennsylvania. These
Northern capitalists, who are fast get
ting control of our Southern mines,are
Republicans in nearly all cases. Now,
the Republican campaign scheme is to
have these Northern capitalists go
around among their employes and
preach the -doctrine of protection. The
laborers are fold that protection is
necessary to cnab'e their employers to
pay them good wages. They know it
is not true, but it is Republican doc
trine, ami this- sort of talk will, no
doubt, control a certain vote for that
party.
in view of this state of facts it will
not l*e safe for Southern Democrats to
follow Congressional candidates who
are the least minted with protection.
Protection is not a .cardinal principle
of Democracy, especially in the South,
ami whenever one of our Southern
Congressmen begins to show symp
tom* of pmtectiou tiie safest plan will
be to keep him at home.
Tak-Atlanta papers may say what
they will ami present whole colnmtis

that have gone out to tiie effect that

eviile re of the fact that the seeds of
dissension have been sown broadcast
in tbe Capital City_ A state.of bad

are divided into two factions—prohi-

degrees south of Charleston. 1

A VAST HURRICANE.
Being asked as to tlie parallel of lat
itude on which the disturbance .wouL
take place, Dr. Wiggins replied thu
tbe activity would be confine*! to tb-
thirtieth parallel of latitude, an>
would extend from ocean to ocean
The shocks would also affect Sai
Ftancisco and the Pacific slope. Nortl
ot parallel thirty the disturbance wil
be meteroiogical, and will consist of:

warning has been given that it was 110.
probable that any would be out. Tie
storm would be preceded in Ontario
Quebec, tbe Maritime Provinces am
New England by strong Nortbwes-
winds on the 26th ami 27th inst Tin
28th would probably be fine—the lul
that precedes the storm. The disturb,
ance, though, will be terrific, anil cat
not fail to produce wide-spread devas
tation. The force would be fargreate-
tbau that which caused tbe receut dis
turbance so disastrous to Charleston
city, and the country would be alik<
aflected. The destruction to property
would be something terrible. Jack
sonville, Fla., Macon ami Atlanta.
Gu., Mobile, Ala., New Orleans am
Baton Rouge, La., Houston, San An
tonio and Galveston, Texas, would in
all probability, be more or less dam
aged.
MACON IN THE PATH.
He predicted that New Orleans, Mo-
con and Mobile would be ruined, a»
these cities were right in the path 01
the subterranean aud meteroiogical
phenomena.
When Professor Wiggins was askec
to what cause he attributed this terri
ble submarine upheavel, he replied
that it was produ *ed by a shifting oi
the earth’s centre of gravity, and thu:
this displacement would be brought
about by a conjunction of Jupiter.
Saturn. Mars ami our two satelites—
oue being the visible and the other
the invisible moon. The latter is »
discovery of Dr. Wiggins. He dii
not agree with the opiniou enunciated
by Sir William Dawson at the recent
meeting of the British association at
Birmingham, that the cause was to lx
attributed to a contraction of that pari
of tlie earth’s surface which forms the
bed of the Atlantic. There would lx
no earrhquake in Canada, but then
would be probably a tremor in tin
province of Quebec. The disturbance
would not commence anywhere uuti
two o’clock in the afternoon. Then
might be femora up to midnight,
caused by the subsidence of the caithV
crust alter the great shock had takei
place. Dr. Wiggins expresse i him
self as not at all surprised if on tha*
day several new volcanoes should
burst out in Central America ami
South America:
WIGGINS INDORSED.
Walter H. Smith, president of tin-
astro meteroiogical association of Can
ada agrees with Wiggins in sub-tance.
He says tlie shock will be ushered in
by a heavy storm in the west and
northw**st, and rough weather on the
Atlantic coast. He looks to see great
damage done in the district south of
the thirtieth parallel of latitude.
There is a great differen *e be
tween the genius of the political insti
tutions of ancient ami modern times.
In the hey-day of Grecian supremacy,
government absorbed individual inter
ests; now the spirit of government is
to guard individual interests.
