Bcti.sk made a very good fight this
year. The republican vote shows a fall-
ingoTr, aa compared with last year's, of
12,893. The regular democratic vote and
prohibition vote were each slightly dc-
creaaed, while Butler got 280 more votes'
than he did last year. Talbot last year
had a majority overall of 1T.2I5; this
year Long's majority is only 1,800. Butler
has already began his new canvass with
all the determination and skill that he is
master of. ,
Tiie surrender of Iquiqne, a Peruvian
city, to the army of Chili is confirmed.
The capture of this town leads to the be
lief that Chili intends to annex the prov
ince of Atacama, thus securing very val
uable nitrate dejKMiu, and entting Bolivia
off from the Pacific. The province has
coast line of 250 miles and some excellent
harbors. It is exceedingly improbable
that Peru and Bolivia can dislodge the
republic that has the strongest fleet, the
brat disciplined army and the amplest
resources.
Ccaaia, who murdered the actor Por
ter, cannot be tried until April, because
the people who were with Porter when
he was shot down by the Texas rnlfian
will not goto Marshall as witnesses. This
course on their part does not show
proper respect for either the actor who
was stricken down or the law. ft is
duty they owe to the country And to their
calling in particular, to go t» the scene
the murder whenever-they are assured
that the trial of Currie will he brought
on. Until they do so, no one has a right
to say one won! against Texas justice.
The annual report of the controller of
the currency, dated November 1, shows
that there were then 2,050 national banks
An operation and 4,310 other hanks. The
deposits of the latter cx<-ecd those of the
national banks nlsmt one-third. Since
1876 the hank eapilnl of the country lias
(wen reduced 152,000,000, while the de
posits have been lessened to the extent
of (181,000,000. A little over one-half of
the latter amount was withdrawn from
savings 1 sinks.' The'controller of course
booms for the'system that fnmiahes
him with bread and batter. He con
siders it • matter of wonder that any
body should or ronld dislike the national
ment, if nut Irish independence. The
present agitation is the immediate out
come of agricultural distress, bat that
distress is aggravated, if not wholly pro-
laced, by the injustice that put the
Irish soil in the possession of absentees,
mostly titled descendants of the English
conqueror* of the unhappy island. This
injustice is not less glaring and terrible
because of its long standing; and the
time seems to have come
right the great wrong. No one propo
ses to deprive the present proprietors of
their property without compensation-
nothing of that kind. Tiie agitators say
that the land laws must be so changed
that tenant fanners may remain on their
holdings, and t* at they may become
owners of the soil they occupy by paying
for it its real value. They have thus far
proceeded in a constitutional manner.
They claim a right to urge in mass meet
ings a change of the land laws; and the
recent arrest of three of their leaders
ho had done nothing beyond this, has
only served to add fuel to the fire. The
blood of Ireland is up, and fortnnstely
tiie new leaders are men of prudence as
well as of courage. Mr. Parnell teems
the man for the emergency. He ia cool,
clear-headed, patient and
daunted. He ia not great
magnetic—hot an O'Connell; but still
he possesses many of the qualities of
leadet. He proposes to hold all Irish
men up to tiie work before them without,
however, subjecting one of them to tiie
penalties of the law. It is not' believed
that Messrs. Davitt, Keilen and Daly
can lie convicted before a jury, for they
clearly have not done anything to in-
criminath themselves. They have done
no more than tens of thousandsof Irish
men liave done, and will do until this
agitation comes lo an end. They desire
England to begin her reiorms at home
before she sjiends millions to compel tiie
sultan to inaugurate reforms in Asia
Minor. They want justice ami a chance
to earn a subsistence for themselves and
their own, before missionary work is lie-
gun in distant countries. What this
agitation may lead to is of course
very uncertain. Its full purpose is to
give Ireland to the Irish jieople—to plant
them permanently nn the soil of tlieir
ancestors, and to restore to them the par
liament that was wrongfully taken away
in the set of union. The desirable result
may not lie reached in a lung time; hut
it is <-ertain that it is only justice, and
that the Irish people are taking the right
ste|>s to secure it. We hope the agita
tion will go on. It is tiie true way to se
cure concessions that the English gov
ernment must sooner or later make in
order to remove a source of weakness at
home.

ran survive tiie raid that the government
will sooner or later make against com

of profitable employment in some parts
of the south and the desire toobtain new
and cheap lands, have • great deal more
to do with this new exodus than the doc
trines contained in the book of Mormon
revelations.
The Chilian* are becoming ns aggres
sive on land as they have been on the
ocean blue. After capturing f'isagua, a
Peruvian town, and landing 12,000 pick
ed men, they pursued the retreating Ike
livian army without encountering any
resistance. Iqniqui is considered in
danger, ami in fact there lias lieen some
thing of a panic in Lima Itself. Thepiarky
Chilians mean business.. They are not
in any respect like most other Spanish
Americans. They are thrifty, industri
ous, prosperous, and if need I*, warlike.
If they win the battle that seems to be
coming on near Pisagna,they will dictate
the terms of peace, and the war will be
ended; for bankrupt Peru and weak Bo
livia would not then lie capable of stop
ping the forces ot Chili.
YVx print elsewhere a letter from Sena
tor Hill to the editor of a western paper.
The letter explains itself, but there is one
expression in it which is the key to the
position of the south at this time, and a
very vivid illnmination- of the situation.
To this expression we desire to call the
attention of our republican friends at the
north—those who hare any hope for the
future of the country, or any aspirations
in the direction of tiie perpetuation of
our institution*. Me. Hill says, and says
truthfully, that there is no desire in the
south for another civil war, even to main
tain liberty. This is the feeling in the
south to-day, and it fa one full of signifi
cance. Will the politicians of the north
deepen and aggravate this feeling by
continuing to arouse the deadly spirit of
sectionalism which now seems to ani
mate the republicans? If the answer be
yea, then the responsibility for future
events mast rert with the dominant
lion.
A Talk With u blMan.
It ia seldom that ao much of interest
and information is contained in a casual
interview as is given in the off-hand talk
between Mr. Forwood.the president of the
Uverpool chamber of commerce, and a
CoxsrriTVTioN man, which is printed else
where this morning. Mr. Forwood isour
authority on the subjects of which he
speaks, and give* his views with the di
rectness and definiteness of* man of busi
ness. YVe could not help contrasting the
straightforward, sensible generalizations
of Mi. Forwood with the finnicking,
shambling utterances of Sir George Camp
bell, who was the last visitor from mer-
rie England. We believe after a careiul
review of the situation that Sir George
never had bnt one definite idea while h*
was in America, and that was when Mr.
Newt Tutu 1 in confronted him and dis
cussed the conrertability of the negro
and the mule.
Mr. Forwood is one of the heel types of
the first-class merchant. The man of
affaire who, dealing with the world, has
broadened his views of things and made
him cosmopolitan in sentiment as well as
reflection and observation. He
all questions with fairness and impar
tiality, and thus manages to throw into
even his casual conversations an amount
of interest and imi-ortznce. We invite
A Productive Industry.
Tiik Constitution lias no higher am
bition outside of its mission as a news-
paper titan to hc known us the a|swtle of
development in Georgia. YVe make no
excuse, then, for the n|«ee occupied by
the interview with Mr. Gates, of Ionia-
iana, anil reflectiona on the same in an
other column of this morning’s issue.
Mr. Gates, after careful investigation,
sustains our opinion of the Clement at
tachment in tiie must emphatic manner
and by tiie most conclusive argument.
He takes four of the mills, and will go to
work with them."
In addition to his views nn the Clem
ent attachment, Mr. Gates gives us some
instructive figures on tiie working of cot
ton seed through oil mills. He shows
that tiie grinding of the seed doubles the
value of every ton that ia ground, and
that it detracts nothing from the value of
the seed to take this extra value out of
them. A prettier formqjg cannot lie
found than that by which cottonseed are
worked. The oil ia expressed from the
seed—the substance of the seed is pressed
into seed cake and sold—the bully are
used for fnel and the ashes from
the hulls' is sold for fertilizing pur
poses. There ia absolutely nothing
wasted. It looks incredible that a pros
perous and intelligent i>eople will allow
year after year the oil in the cotton seed
to go to waste, especially when of tlie(l:
worth taken from a ton fully $5 is clear
profit to the man who takes it. It is
safe and lucrative business, and $3,000,
000 are invested in it in the city of New
Orleans alone. Outside of that city there
are four other mills. In tiie state ot
Georgia there is not one. We have
money enough to build these mills—en
terprise enough—but somehow or other
-.he old spirit of non-progress hangs abont
our people, and hinders them from their
own enrichment.
It is the curse of the south that she
cultivates loosely, produces irregularly
and wastes half that she produces. In
the one item of cotton, if she would only
spin it with these Clement mills and
grind the seed with oil mills she would
doable the value of the lint, double the
value of the seed, and give employ
ment to nearly double the number of
people now employed in planting
and raising the crop. If onr people
would only encourage these two indus
tries—if onr capitalists would only go
into such investments—if our farmers
would only elnb together and establish
them in the neighborhoods—if our me
chanics would form co-operative compa
nies, and build them—we shonld soon
regain the enormons wealth we lost with
our slaves and the south . would become
richer than hi r most sanguine son ran
hope for. All general movements are
made npof special efforts. All revolu
tions come from individual arms. The
Constitution therefore pursues its work
hopefully, feeling satisfied that every
time it slim one nun to investigation or
action it establishes a new nQtpost of tiie
army that ia finally to overrun the whole
south and conquer its old method* ol
lavuhness and wastefulness. We hare
the host counter in the world—the best
people in the world—and all we need is

thesonth. The Constitution- lias, never
lost an opportunity to do justice to the
purpose of Mr. Haves, bnt, with respect
to bi« policy, we Irankiy told him at the
beginning, and in terms that he could not
fail to understand, that it was a poor,
makeshift sort of an affair, utterly• un
worthy to be connected, even by impli
cation, with the grand purpose of de
stroying conciliation. That policy, in
brief, was to resurrect the republican
party in the south, along with all iu
threatening elements of ignorance and
prejudice. But the purpose of Mr.
Hayes to bring abont conciliation was
not a failure. It was effective enough to
formniate a policy of its own, and iu ef
fect may be observed to-day in the im
proved tone of political discussion in the
south and in the renewal of that
feeling which cannot be described,
bnt which ought to be held
by alt Americana in common. Up to
the unfortunate hoar when Mr.- Hares
surrendered to the stalwart wing of his
party—tbe wing that had derided his ad-
minfatiadou and that had attempted,
but failed, to destroy his influence, his
purpose of conciliation was a power po

prints the following as an outline of ita
contents: , . , ,
“It is understood Iti well informed circles
that the p-esiilent begins his forthcoming
annual message by congratulating congress
)H | the country upon the successful accom
plishment of resumption, but warns con
gress that unless the unlimited coinage of
standard, silver dollars is stopped the pres
ent amount of gold will soon begin gradu
ally to flow out of the country, and tliat
silver will take its place. On this point he
recommends that no action be taken as to
fixing the ratio" between the silver dollar
and the gold dollar until the interna
tional monetary congress shall have arrived
at some conclusion regarding the legitimate
status of silver, but suggests that the coin
age of tlte silver dollar be merely suspend
ed. It is also understood that he takes
the ground that as it fa only in time of war
or other pressing emergency that the issue
of Doles, tiie worth of which is fixed wholly
by the government, is authorized, ami tliat
as no such emergency nqw exists, the circu
lating notes, i. e„ the greenbacks, should
now be retired in some manner wisely cal
culated to forefend any disturbance of the
preeent financial equilibrium. He also ar
gues tliat.as it lias been the policy of the gov

stitution to pay oil all debts assoon alter they
are incurred as possible, a sinking food
should now be provided, or the existing
laws relating to that fund amended so in to
fix a limit specified and distinct within
which the present public debt shall be paid.
-He then recommends that if the revenues
of the government shall not he sufficient to
provide necessary funds to meet tiie de
mand of such a policy a tariff shonld be
placed on tea and coffee, ns the tax could be
conveniently levied, and would be less felt
hy tlte people than any other.
”He calls the especial attention of can-
press to ihe continued and utter disregard
of the statutes against polygamy by the
people of the territory of Utah, and suggests
<»r requests that some action be taken in the
premises. He refers to the fact that the
territory is now approaching the period
when she will apply tor admission into the
union, and when she will certainly have to
be admitted ns a stale In this connection
lie recommends that the ctf.zens of oil the
territories who are guilty of the crime of

THE WARRING WIN DS.
The Arrest of the Uodjr-Knatrher—
IIow the Crime Warn Perpetrated.
Ciiattaxooga, November 28.—I.ast night
a man walked into the express office at this
place lor the purpose of shipping a box
cotton seed, as he said, to Cincinnati. The
rules of the company required prepayment
on such freight, and the clerk. Mr. Decrees,
so informed the man who wished to make
the bhipment. The box weighed one hun
dred and eighty pounds. The man came
the conclusion that the amount of freight
was too much, and took his box and de
parted. Early this morning the same man
came again with the same box aud had
it marked “Dr. J. 8. Pent
berton. Atlanta, Ga.,” with the word
‘ fish’’ marked in large letters on the fop.
This aroused the suspicions of the freight
clerk, Mr. Dewees; the matt having stid
the night before that the box contained
cotton seed.
Mr. Dewees had, for some time, been sue
peeling that a ixidy-snatcher was getting
liis work through that office. So Tie, seeing
that the b»x was marked fish, and, at tiie
same time, thinking that something was
wrung, tallied Mr. Roberts, the night clerk,
and Mr. Campbell, the money clerk *
office, to him and state! the case
and after consultation they conclu<
ed ^ to examine the contents and
«ee if Mr. De wees’s suspicions were correct,
Dcwees got a hatchet and approached the
box timidly, and with great care opened it,
the other clerks standing by almost breath
less. The last nail having been drawn they
all looked at each other as if to inquire who
would be the one to remove the top of tbe
box, so that the contents could be seen. At
last Mr. Dewees moved the top, and there
they all beheld, oh. horror, a heap of cotton
seed! One long-drawn sigh passed the lips
of each of the clerka, and anxious glances
were exchanged. Again they were con
vinced at least that there were no “fish” m
the box. So getting a hit braver, Mr. Dewees
proceeded to remove the cott >n seed. After
a few grabs his band struck something.!.ard
aud he sprang hack as th-mgh he wan shot,
aud it was some time before he would pro
ceed with the. search. After recovering
from his friirht he removed the cotton se»*d
and there discovered a sack enclosing some
thing. he knew not wha(; but in the twink
ling of an «ye his knife was out and passed
inti* the sack. Ripping it open his suspi
cion-' w'ere found to be correct; for sure
enough there was discovered the cold white
body of a human being. He did not ekam-
ine tbe body particularly, and thus did not
find out whether it was a man orwoiuait:
but he concluded not to ship it And went
off to obtain a warrant for the shipper, who
gave hi* name as Jackson. There was a
man aud woman buried there yesterday,
and it is supposed that this is one of those
bodies. If rue villain is caught this com
munity will make it very warm for him
Too much cannot be said in praise of Mr.
Dewees for this important discovery. It is
thought that this man Jackson has lieen
shipping bodies from here for some time.
Latek.—Investigation has led to the di-
covery that the body was that of Tennessee
Keith, a white woman, who died Wednes
day night and whose remains were taken to
tbe city cemetery about 4 o’clock Thursday
afternoon. Jackson, his son. and tbe sex
ton have been committed to jail in default
of $2,000 bail. The excitement has subsided
and there is no danger of mob.violence.

Louisville, November29 —A fearful tor
undo has played havoc in the southeastern
portion of the city yesterday mornit.g.
Those who saw it say that one immense
black cloud came up from the southwest
at four minutes to sixo’clock. It was u
black and gloomy spectacle as it neared the
city.
It was seen to be revolving at a fearful
rate. Directly a deluge of raiu began to fail
lit up by a red electric light.
It seemed, say those who witnessed it,
that the world was coming to an end, and
doubtle-s people in the track, pursued by
the whirlwind, truly thought so.
Itstruck the city at the farendof Fourth
street, Rev. Stuart Robinson’s house being
one of the first to suffer. Thence it con
tinued in a northeasterly direction, leaving
the city at Cave hill.
South fence of Central park is all blown
down.. The old Louisville base bail park is
completely riddled, not the least (tortion of
the fo.ee is left standing.except half of the
ea*t side. The roof of the grand stand
smashed into kindling wood and blow
away. The grounds and streets are strewn
with broken boards and timbers Dr. Stuart
Robjuson’s house is slightly damaged, about
a third of the tin roof being blown off
M. Fishback’s carpet establishment o'
Third street was completely demolished.
The building was a frame, and nothing i
now standing but the foundation. The los
is $700.
In the suburb known as Brown .Stone,
roof-*, windows, fences and trees suffered
generally.
