R The Home Jo ukjtal, TEE BATTLE IN MAINE. The centre of the great political storm which is to sweep over this coun try within the next twelve months, has, for the time being, shifted from Ohio to Maine. In Ohio the convulsion of the Price: ?2 00 Per Annum, in Advance. EDWIN M ARTIN, Editor & Proprietor. THIS PAPEE IS HEAP EVEBT WEEK BT OSE THOCSAKD FAMILIES IK THE BEST SECTtOS OF GEOBOIA. THURSDAY EVENING, JUNE 19. The mints of the United States turn ed oat two million three hundred thou sand silver dollars dating the mouth of May. Tee business of nailing lies has com menced. A good sized orator will nail about a hundred a day, and he will make during .the same period about five hundred for somebody else to nail. The weakness is that it creates no de mand for nails. OtJT of 277 strikes in Great Britain during the past year, only four proved successful. In seventeen cases compro mises were effected, and in 256 the stri kers yielded their demand completely. It may be inferred, therefore, that strik ing has been, so far, a serious and los ing experiment with British laborers f A terrible tornado passed over San dersvi'le, Washington county, on Thurs day at 2 o’clock. The Catholic church was blown down, and the organ in it entirely demolished. Loss about $3,000. No other damage done in the town ex cept the destruction of trees and fen cing. The loss in the country is sup posed to be considerable. Ah American writing from Spain urges the shipment of labor-saving im plements there. Spanish farmers plow with the end of a piece of wood about five inches thick, as was done in the middle ages; sowing and reaping ma chines are unknown, and grain is not threshed. Oxen tread it out, and it is winnowed by women, who toss it into the air to scatter the chaff. If the the three pending appropria tion bills are detained at either end of Pennsylvania avenue longer than this week they will crowd close upon the fiscal year that they are designed for. The new fiscal year begins the first day of next month, and if the pending bills are not laws by that time, there will be no provision for the maintenance of the army, or of the chief civil departments of the government. A joint meeting of the National Den tal Asscciation, {late Southern), Geor gia State Dental Society, North Caroli na and South Carolina Dental Associa tion, will be held in Augusta, comruen cing July 8th, 1879, aDd continuing four days. This, with invited guests from other States, will make one of the largest and most beneficial sessions of the dental profession ever held* in the United States. Reports received at the general land office in Washington show that, during the months of January, February, March and April last, as many acres were ta ken up as ever before in any single year, which indicates an unprecedented and encouraging increase in the volume of immigration. It appears, moreover, from statements recently prepared at the land office, that there are 724,311,- 477 acres of surveyed public land yet undisposed of, and the enormous aggre gate of over 1,000,060,000 acres that have never been surveyed. Diabolical Incendiarism. —Thomas- yille Enterprise: On Saturday night some one burned the bridge over the Little Ockolockonee river, a short dis tance above the Henry mill. A slough near by, that had been filled with sha vings, timbers, etc., was also set on fire, evidently for the purpose of burning out the filling and rendering the slough impassable. The bridge had just been rebuilt since the late rain, and was in first rate order. We hope the guilty party will be found out, The Hawkinsville Dispatch wants to know if sheep carry concealed weapons A merchant of that place recently bought several small sacks of wool, and during the process of emptying the sacks, an old rusty loaded pistol fell from onet of thim. It is quite a mystery how it got there, and theidea was sug gested that perhaps the sheep was car rying the weapon in its wool to protect itself against dogs, and the wool being long, it -was so completely concealed that it was clipped off with the fleece without attracting the attention of the shearer. Of course no one'suspects that the pistol was ever put in the sack to increase the weight of the wool. A horrible revelation of one phase of New York life was brought out by the death of Patrick Geltings, an octoge narian, who fell dead a few days since in a delectable locality known as “Hell’s Kitchen.” His son and daughter were both found stupidly drunk in the sta-‘ ble where they lived, while in one cor ner crouched the aged mother, also in toxicated. The officer who first looked in on this scene went out to get assist ance, and, in his absence, the drunken son attempted to carry the body from the yard into, the stable, but fell, his father’s skull being fractured in the The Baltimore Gazette tells this and then pertinently inquires: send missionaries to the heath- elements was very severe; slates were smashed by ruthless hands) pet policies were upset; the schemes of party lead ers who had ulterior designs were scat tored to the four winds of heaven, and now that n calm has set in, the world may go on as usual; customary occupa tions may be resumed, and people may make up their minds that the new re bellion, so far as the Buckeye State is concerned, at least, has been postponed. Two gallant soldiers will control the destinies of the state during the next two years, and the principles of popular government will be fully vindicated. But no sooner had the storm king loosened his grip on Ohio than he be gan to agitate the stal wait pines of from the smiling plains and verdant farms of York to the wild and trackless forests of Aroostook, there is noticeable an nnusnal commotion. The Green- backers, who held the balance of power last year, and broke Blaine’s bold on the masses, have thrown their castor into the ring and gallantly challenge all or any competitor to dispute their claims to supremacy. Their candidate needs no introduction to the voters of Maine, for he made a good fight last year, and stood the test of the most bit ter partisan slanders and came out of the fight “second best.” The Republican leaders have begun their war-cry, and the battle will be fought on their side, at least, on the worn-ont bloody-shirt platform, hatred of the South, and an effort to re-open the sores of the late struggle, which fourteen years of conciliation and friendly intercourse between the two sections have healed. And here will come the very interesting question:— “Who will be the standard-bearer under the ensanguined flag?” Hitherto Mr, Blaine has had complete control of the party machinery and its manipulators. He could, from his seat in Washington, issue an ukase which was as arbitrary and as effective as any edict of the Czar of all the Bnssias. But those days have gone. New elements have sprung up which have crippled the great polit ical dramatist; and not the least of these, nor the least embarrassing to him, in the present year, is the Grant boom. Mr. Zachariah Chandler, he of the fragrant breath, is now custodian of the present administration. He has, in company with Bobeson and Logan, whipped Mr. Hayes into submission.— Mr. Zachariah Chandler has a son-in- law in Maine who is out of employment, by the grace of God and the votes of his abused constituents. His name is Eugene Hale. He was “brought up by hand” in the Bepnblican party, like Philip Pirrip in the forge of Joe Gar- gery, and as much by the hand of Blaine as of anybody else. Blaine’s influence becoming weak last year. Mr. Hale was relegated to the obscurity of bis home in Ellsworth, and his chief oc cupation at present is watching the de velopment of the inoffensive radish and trying to explain to himself the myste > rious circumstances which combined to lift him from his natural position as-n village lawyer into a congressional seat and into the family of a cabinet minis ter. Mr. Zachariah Chandler is a Grant man, first, last and all the time. He naturally wants the movement to boom in Maine, and he would like to have his son-in-law get astride the boom and ride into power again. Now Mr. Blaine, on the other hand, is aBlaineman. He has his eagle-eye fixed on the White Honse, and watches his chances as in tently as Mr. Chandler would watch a demijohn. He is still a professed friend of Eugene Hale, but is not quite sure that he could control the little jack-in- the-box, and keep him loyel, with the strong influence which wonld be brought to bear on him from the Grant crowd. Assuming then that Mr. Blaine can control the actions and deliberations of the Bangor convention, to be held June 26. what will he do? Will he put Mr. Hale in nomination and so give the out side world in general, and the Bepnbli can party in particular, the impression that Maine, is for Grant? It is a diffi cult and delicate question to settle, and only a man of Mr. Blaine’s boldness and lack of principle could success!a lly grapple with it. We hpve no doubt he will secure the larger slice of the credit of puttinsr the candidate in nomination, whoever lie may be, bat he mast also expect to be largely instrumental in his defeat; for it is recorded that the Be- pnblicans have lost Maine, and will never recover it os long as Blaine and Hamlin hold the machine. Mr. Blaine, as-a manipulator of the state politics in Maine, has seen his best days; as an as pirant for presidential honors, he is at the end of the line—the rear end.— What he may do at the Bangor conven tion, therefore, will have bat little sig nificance.—Boston Globe. TAXATION THROUGHOUT THE WORLD. . The Chicago 'Times has been studying the question of taxation throughout tile world, and has made some curious dis coveries. We of theUnited States may think ourselves heavily taxed, but we get off comparatively light as compared with some other nations. To begin with, the broad proposition may be laid down that everything, every action, is taxed some way or other. In this country man has to pay the government a tai should be choose to boil a little com to make himself some whiskey. This tax, however, has become natural to fis. Some of the European taxes, however, wonld seem strange and tyrannical and wonld doubtless be resisted were any attempt made to enforce them here. In France, Germany, Italy, and indeed all the continental countries, tobacco and salt are government monopolies, and yon can buy your cigars from no one bnt a government agency. Nearly every European country has an income tax, many a poll tax, noblemen being com pelled to pay a tax on their nobility. Prnssia has a tax on houses; so has Greece, while Italy taxes all building contracts. Italy taxes the right to vote, and Belgium, Denmark and Prussia the right to inherit property; that is, yon have to pay a percentage of the prop erty yon inherit to the government be fore yon can be put into possesion of it. Greece taxes all produce, bees, pas tures, cattle, and even patents; Holland, hunting and shooting privileges, and gold and silverware; Switzerland, gun powder; Spain the right to gamble, pepper and fruit trees; while Servia the privilege of marrying subjects a man to an extra tax. In addition to the revenus derived from all these taxes, these countries at so receive considerable amounts of money from other sources not employ- ad to swell onr revenue in this country The amount yielded by government railroads is always an important feat ure in European budgets. Belgium, for instance, gets $17,800,000, one-third of her entire revenue, from this source; Prussia, $42,000,000; Austria, $15,000,- 000, Austria gets $5,500,00 from lotter ies, and Italy $17,500,000. The to bacco monopoly yields Italy $34,000,000. The post office, moreover, is usually made profitable, that of Great Britain yielding the government a revenue over all expanses of $30,000,000, The Prussian forests yield that kingdom $14,000,OOO.a year. Austria derives a revenue of $16,000,000 from judicial fees, money that in this country is di vided between the clerks of courts. Among the most curious sources of revenue to a country are the universi ties in Switzerland and France, which .actually yield the government a revenue; and the Swiss stud stables, belonging to the Federal Government of Switzer land, which pays the expenses of the Swiss Council. The champion countries for heavy taxes are France, which, with less pop ulation than this country, raises the immense revenue of $534,000,000 a year, and the Australian colonies which, with a population smaller than that of Ohio or Illinois, raise a revenue of $73,- 850,00 a year without a direct tax The snmmiug up of taxation, debt and revenue throughout the world is something almost horrible to contem plate, A careful estimate shows'tbal the civiliezd and semi-civilized nations of the world owe $25, 894,890.000 and raise an annal revenue of $3,910,650:000 to pay the expenses of their governments, A GOSPEL OP PEACE. In pleasing contrast with the coward ly philippic of General Hamlmton which we quoted a few days ago, we give onr readers an extract from the address of Bev. Charles F. Lee, deliv ered on Decoration day in Charleston Massachusetts. It breathes a spirit of brotherly love and charity which does credit to its reverend author, and shows that he is indeed a messenger that “peace on earth and good will toward men, ” which is the keynote of the Christian Gospel. Said the speak er: “I cannot but remind you, as much as X believe the late war a righteous one, of the heroism which the Southern breth ren displayed. The memory of every Southerner that died in the belief that he was battling for his heaven-born rights shall be precious to me. I feel now that there is a lasting fraternity between the bine and the gray as I know they look down upon our loved Union with equal solicitude and affec tion, and shame be to that man who cannot pay the tribute dne to thous ands of men who battled nobly defend ing that which they thought they were bom to uphold. We ought to make one hard determined effort to pnt aside all angry feeliDgs of hate or jealousy, and join hand in hand as one man North, Sonth, East and West, over the graves of the bine and gray, with all sincerety and love, as we think of the thousands of the fallen heroes whose remains are Unbosomed in tbe soil of the Sonth. My friends, I believe that the greater part of onr Southern breth ren reciprocate my feelings, I think they yearn to restore the reign of good will which characterized us of old. Let us show them that we are not only willing bat anxious to bury the ill feels ings of the past.” While such sentiments of those so el oquently expressed by Mr. Lee find a hearty response in the hearts of the trne men of the North, there is still hope for the restoration of that mutual respect and good will so essentially to the perpetual peace and prosperity of onr common country, OLD RELIABLE HOUSTON FACTORY MILLS, G. G. POTTER, Lessee, Desires to call the attention of all who have Wheat or Corn to Grind to the fact that he nas had the said mills, both -wheat and corn rocks, together with the bolting cloths pnt in the very best condition for making MEAL AND FLOUK of the finest quality. Being thankful for the very liberal patronage in the past, ho hopes to merit a continuance of the same by his unyielding efforts to give THE NEGRO EXODUS. Bhode Island disfranchises ten thou citizens on account of their nativ ity. They have no voice at the elec tions for President, Yiee President or Bepresentatives, and yet her Senators and Bepresentatives claim that the na tion ean be defied in this way, and Mr. Hayes dop» not intimate that “national supremacy mast ply the thumb screws to make these wicked Bhode Island Be- pnblicans do their “national duty” by admitting these ten thousand citizens *0 the right of suffrage. Queer 1 'national” men, those Bhode Islanders!—Couriery ; Journal. There can be no question, says the New York Bulletin, bnt that the extent of the negro emigration to Kansas from Mississippi and Northern .Louisiana has from the beginning been greatly exag erated, for various reasons, which it is not difficult to divine. We have con clusive proof of this from a source the correctness of which we are bound to ac cept-. The New Orleans Cotton Ex change, in its report under date of June 9th, says: “Seventy-seven correspond ents report labor good and efficient, and thirteen report is unsettled. Bnt few hands have left Louisiana for Kansas, and the exodus fever seems to have sub sided for the present.” From Missis sippi we have reports of a similar tenor; “Labor is generally sufficient in num bers and efficient in qnality. A few counties report a limited emigration to the river parishes of Louisiana. The Kansas exodus is beiDg discussed in a good many places, bnt 30 far it has not drawn off any Considerable number of hands.” From Arkansas; “Labor is reported generally good and efficient, though several counties report an nneasy feeling, and apprehension on account of the Kansas fever, But no loss has been sustained in labor yet.” The authori ty for these statements is much more re liable and impartial than that of the average correspondent in pursuit of a sensation, and we are bound to accept them, therefore, as showing that, after nil, the labor system of the Southern States, thas far has, suffered no material derangement from the stampede if so it deserves to be designated. We may add, concludes the Bulletin, that, if onr Mississippi and Louisiana exchanges are to be relied apon, the movement is at an end, and that many of the negroes who went off on the impulse of the mo ment are anxious to get bask on the plantations. The Irwinton Southerner and Appeal makes special mention of a worthy ne gro of that place. It says: “It is ex tremely rare to find one man—especial ly one of his class—possessed of the vir tnes of faithfulness, honesty, energy and industry to so high a degree as is Henry Gainey, a blind negro living near Gordon, and this fact makes it all the more pleasant to record such stances when we do find them. Henry was formerly the property of a widow lady, and at the time of Sherman’s march through this section his mistress turned over to him for safe keeping her money and other valuables, as well horses and mules. Henry took them and, when all danger was passed, re turned them. Not a thing was missing. About ten years ago Henry had a se vere case of sore eyes, which resulted in loss of sight, and since that lime he has been totally blind. Nothing daunted by a misfortune under which many would hare sunk, Henry has kept stead ily at work and earned his own living. He is now at work for Mr. James Ste vens, of Gordon, who informs ns that he readily earns eight to ten dollars per mouth cutting cord wood. Mr. Stevens further informs us that since wheat cut ting commenced he has been running five cradles, and that Henry followed one of them, tying the wheat and keeping np as well as the bands following the others, All honor to Henry, say we.” A Texas lady, marned five years re cently went north with nine children, and couldn’t explain it except on the basis of “Texas water.” New Advertisements.
