THE WEEKLY CONSTITUTION* TUESDAY. OCTOlJEK 2, 1883. THE CONSTITUTION. ' Entered at the Atlanta Poalofflce as second-clsm Bull nutter, November 11,1878. 1 r» Am > getter-up WEEKLY CONSTITUTION, BIX MONTHS, II 00 ATLANTA. OCTOBER 3. 1881. An unconfirmed report ia published in Lon don that the popular Irish leader,Mr.Parnell, has been shot Bltlkb has captured the greenbackers of Massachusetts, and now marches on with firmer tread to victory Srnator Batasd denies the authenticity of the interview in which he was represented as indorsing Butler. Mas. Fillmorb appears to hare been a very uncertain sort of lady. She could cut up pranks enough to amuse the whole family. Ororoia has been wined and dined in Ken tucky until she ia ready to return home. In Louisville it is natural to be a .Bourbon or Robinson. A straror case Is under trial in Pliiladel- phia, in which a landlady keeps possession the body of a dead boarder until a bill due for board Is paid, Tine failures lor the first nine monthsof the present year largely exceed the failures for the same period last year. The liabilities are also largely Increased. Tns Widow Oarey talks very much like witneaa who has not much to testify. She does not known whether O’Donnell’s wife was male of female. Bayard professes to see in Butler a man whom It will not do to talk about for the pres idency, but who may bo governor of Mi ebusetta a second time. Tin jury which has been nursing the Rose Ambler case so long has at last agreed upon verdict, and ooncludrs that the past relation ship of .the parties points to William Lewis as being the probable murderer. Tax story of a family stricken to death related from Greenville, reads like a chapter from the Nile. And yet it occurred In one of the healthiest towns In the oountry. Tax vandals who roam the country for the purpose of securing relics, have been heard from again. This time they have laid their hands upon the Webster monument. Tax New York Herald bat become the last man In the procession, and follows Its con temporaries by a fall in prices. This fully inaugurates the era of cheap journalism. Tns prisoner Wallace, under sentence of death in Savannah, gave every evidence of sane Indignation on being Informed of the governor’s refusal to Interfere in his behalf. Tux monument commemorative of the consolidation of the German empire was un veiled yesterday in the presence of the env peror and an enthusiastic multitude of peo ple. Tnxxx seems to be an epidemio abroad of stealing girls. In several sections of the country searches arc now In progress for miss ing maidens. Connecticut kills those she cannot steal. Tux Introduction ol a resolution indorsing the administration of President Arthur sot the colored convehllon in seaslo%ltt Louiavillo In an uproar, and was promptly referred to a committee. 1 Av excited Irishman, who labored under the imprewrion that hia character had been anatled, fired olT several shots in in the New York consulate of the British government. He is evidently Insane^ Tnx lofig promised colored convention, under the call of Fred Douglass, finds Itself assembled in Louisville, where the most per plexing question presented to them la the election of a temporary chairman. Ths onto! Is coming into view again, and will very likely engage the attention of star- gasers for the winter. It Is hinted, however, that tblaromel does not display as fine a tall as several which have preceded It. Shkrman, who won glory of the federal kind around Atlanta, Is now about to assume the character of a civilian. He will be succeeded by Hherldan, whose principal distinction is that be Is the brother of Mike. Ix the death of Major W. B. Cox the city has lost a clllsen who was fulty alive to all the requirements oh patriotism. Ills purse as well as his counsel were always ready for the call of enterprise, of duty, or of charity. Tux tbinskina of the Massachusetts charita ble awociatlons are not well pleased with the scrutiny of the governor. Mr. Talbot's letter declining to exhibit the accounts of a dis bursing ofilcer, looks very much as If these accounts would not stand publishing. Mu-os la steadily progressing, and adopt ing sensible Ideas. In the purchase of a pub lic scales, where measurements must be made, thus protecting her ciUxens against false weights, she has taken a long forward step, which Atlanta would do well to Imitate. Ooloxil Alfonso was vigorously hissed yes terday on hia arrival in Pans. The mob which was craven enough to sack their own city when besieged by the German army was brave enough to Insult a young man for ac cepting a token of honor from the sovereign of another country. WiLBSUi made a colonel out of Alfonso. Now the dignity of being a German colonel is much greater than that of a mere Spanish king. The French press, making no note of Colonel Alfonso’s youthful desire for pro motion bare declared war against monarchy in Spain, and promises to keep it up until the young colonel will be compelled to seek per manent mfety in the beer gardens of Ger many. Tnx newsdealers are in revolt against the recent drop In New York papers. The reduc tion does not leave them any margin upon which to live, and they are not willing to sell for glory. 8a the big dallies will hare to take the discontented middlemen into their confidence before the trouble can lie smoothed ovtr. Bxx Bctlkb has about as hard a time with the democrats as with the republicans, Mr. jr, 0. Prince, who was nominated on the Put- Io " ler ticket as lieutenant-governor, declines. And even bis old biographer, Dr. Bland, apologizes for the work ofenvolumlng the overnor, because he ia net as staunch a greenbacker as he could be. Ir there are any who think federal taxation ia light, let them consider the fact that $22,350.- 000 have been taken out of the state of Geor gia in twenty one years by the internal reve nue officers alone. Tbissum was collected from spirits, tobacco, fermented liquors, banks and bankers, and other articles that were formerly taxed. What the tariff added to this sum cannot be accurately stated, but that it directly and indirectly quadrupled it la scarcely to be doubled, THE LEG'LATOilE AND ITS WORK. The legislature that closed its labors with yesterday, has been an unusually industrious, painstaking body. If it has left undone some things that it might have done, it has had the courage to kill many bills that would have worked a public Injury. It has had to deal with much pithy legisla tion that stems, however, to iiave been de manded by local exigencies, and it has bad to work against the obstructive spirit and ma chinery of the constitution. We regret that it did not pass the law provldlng_for_ tax-as sessors, the bill establishing a school of tech nology, and the general dog law. These will come in time, however. The bill redistricting the state Is a good one the capltol bill is wisely guarded and liberal in its provisions, the bill prohibiting the run ning of Bunday excursions is in tho right di reel ion. Indeed, this legislature seems to have cast Ita influence in the direction of morality on all occasions. While it failed to the general temperance bill It did pass more than seventy special temperance bills. We may have bad more brilliant legislatures —and more progressive and liberal. It is doubtful if we ever had a safer or more conscl entious one. Wo certainly never had a more Industrious one. The members have been away from home and business for more then four months. Not one day of this time has been watted, and the pay hsa been wholly in adequate to the loss entailed by their absence. For this service they are entitled to the thanks of their constituents. SHORT CROPS AND NEW DEBTS. The Bavannah News thinks that the plant ers will be able to get through tho year with out increasing tliplr obligations to the factors and merchants. They certainly deserve such good fortune. For yean they have bravely struggled to get out of debt. Instead of mak ing cotton upon which all sorts of midBlc- men were to thrive, they were about to make cotton for themselves—cotton that they could market when they thought best, and upon which there were to be charges for money loaned at grossly uauroua rates In the name of prloea for supplies. Our Savannah contemporary estimates that the exactions of the past few years levied on a bale of cotton aggregated fully one cent a pound, or about $31,000,000 year. The bill that the farmers of tho south paid to middlemen was certainly not than this amount down to a recent pe riod. Of late all prosperous planters have firmly worked up. to the policy of raising their own supplies; and If none the ground gained Is lost this short crop year, it will bo because they had gotten out of debt or nearly so, and liavo on hand to-day nearly enough grain and meat meet all economical requirements. If this should prove to be the case, it will bo con vlncing proof that our planters are fairly again on their feet Mon are not independent that can be brought down to the crop-mort gage system by the failure of one crop, anil if economy and good management our farmers can go through the year without in curring new debts, no one need despair of the future. It seems to us that every rainfall should be fully utilized this year to get in a fine crop oats. We can not have too large a crop of fall-sown oats. This crop will become avail able just when the other food crops begin to fail; it will furnish forage for animals through the winter, and it it wilt serve to keep off the blues when the effects of the drouth present themselves. If the oat crop of the stale could be doubled, we would have no corn to buy, and the pleasant predictions of our es teemed contemporary would surely be ful filled. It Is not too late to sow oats, and we hope the News will join us getting up au oat boom. THE BNOL1SH COTTON MILLS. It 1s a little singular that the depressions and lock-outs and strikes in the Lancashire mills occur Just as the new crop is coming into market. The usual troubles are report- on time thla fall; but If any one buys or sells cotton on account of them, we should greatly surprised. The game Is especially plain this season; for It is the weaving branch of the trade that Is kicking up all the dust. It is admitted that the price ot yarns remains high enough to afford a margin for profit, and no com plaint at all cornea from the spinneta. If the demand for yarns remains good at fair prices, It is strange that the weaving trade is in a bad way, unless indeed the looms have been Increased beyond consumption. This may be the case on account ot the slackened demand from both China and India tor cot ton good*, and the agricultural depression is Engltud. But if there are too many loom* it would seem to be the right course to run the factories on shorter time, instead of at tempting to squeeze the under-paid work people, or attempting to “bear" the raw ma terial. And this the master* will have to do, for the operatires have decided to reelat any reduction in their scant wages, and the forehanded produced, ot the staple in America know that the new crop is iesn than six million bales, aud will exacts price based on a short crop. Tba operatives have in fact resumed work at the old prices pending further negotiations.” This un doubtedly means that ths fall raid of the millownere has failed of its object, and Is to abandoned. But whether this is the case or not, let no southern farmer be misled by report* of troubles in the English cotton trade. Eng land may, It is true, have too many looms, when nearly every other oountry Is going in to cotton manufacturing, but this ought not _ affect the price of cotton, for all the cotton that England does net want other countries take. It matters little, there- what the condition ol the trade is In Lancashire, rather wbat Lancashire ia about to do, or threaten to do In the fall of the year. Lan caablre is in the market wanting raw cotton, and its sincerity will continue to be doubted as long as it postpones all settlements between masters and operatives, until it enters the market as a buyer. A spring adjustment would be a novelty, and we advise our En glish cousins to try one. SOME RUNNING SUOOESTIONS. In the casual drift of gossip gathered else where in Tux Constitution under the head of “The Man About Town," there are some suggestions of importance. Mr. Beck, of Lumpkin, is reported as say ing thatAn, 1 000,000 has been actually invested In mines and mining machinery in the Geor gia gold-region. On the tax books, the total returned value of mines and mining maobin ery in the state, including gold, coal, cop per and iron mines, ia $127,000. This is less than one-fortieth of what has been actually invested In gold mines and mining alone. Comment is unnecessary. It is shown that prohibition has nude aacb progress in the state as to justify the belief that it will eventually control all rural ter ritory. It has already driven whisky par tially or entirely out of more than half the Georgia counties. The no-fence agitation is also shown to hare made decided progress. There is nothing, in onr opinion, of more Importance than this ami-fence crusade. The fence is costly, fra- sightly, and a perpetual drain on our thinning ferests. Ita abolition will taka our cattlebut of woods tnd put them into pastures. This will result in better cattle, bred into higher grades, aud watched with more care. It will give us ten hayricks where there is now one, and twenty manure piles where there is now none. And lastly, the slate Is about to tackle the dog by counties. By platoons,os it were,rath er than all along the line. One county has already turned its tax gatherer into tho dogs, ana others will follow. II is not impossible that in a few years we will be taking $100,000 a year from dogs, with which io educate chil dren, while as many dogs that now nightly bay the moon will lie in neglected graves, and half as many dogs skulk along the by-ways of the state in disgraceful default.

The Rose Ambler esse, following claeely after the somewhataimllarmysteryconnected with the sad taking off of Jennie Cramer, shows that either Connecticut tragedies are very hard to fathom or else that Cannecticut boa detectives that do not detect. There are suspected persons in the Rose Ambler case just as there were in the earlier case, but no clew or pot theoiy fastens the dark crime on any one. That the woman was murdered is beyond question and yet the murderer walks the soil of Con necticut as free os her most innocent citizen. The detective art is not able to cope .with the art of criminals In Connecticut.. Jennie Cramer and Rose Ambler rest in their graves, but the vengeance of the law remains unsat isfied, and according to present indications nlways will. No other stale furnishes so much mysterious crime. Even in tho Char ley Roes case one man was sent to tho peni tentiary, and the two chief criminals, ng.it is thought, were killed while committing an other crime. But the blood of the two youDg Connecticut women will probably go un avenged, because the murderers of that stale have more cunning in covering their Hacks than her authorities have in discovering them. Tus straight out republicans ol Virginia are or ganising to make the climate warm for Mahone, The trouble, however. Is that Mahone has the pres ident and the republican civil service commission to aid him In collecting campaign fundi from tho federal office holders. Ths democrats of Now York are almost si harmo nious as the democrats of Georgia; and the prospects are that tho more decent republicans ol the suite are preparing to reform matter* by wiping their party out. This Is tho only road to reform. Hows of the organs are calling lien llifUcr “old moooshiner." This Is very nest.
