An Interesting Letter From en American Visiting Japan???Observations on the Way???The Har bor of Ifagasakl???HowHobe Is Reached ???An Interesting Talk From Afar. Axiha, Japan, August 25.-[SpccIal Cor respondence to The Constitution.]???A sick wife, a sick baby* and the order of the doctor, puts me upon the road for Japan. There can hardly be a much unhealthicr country on the globe than the region round about Shang hai. An immense flat formed by the deposit from the Yang-tag river, it is tho favorite homo of cholera and malarial fevers of every variety. The constitution of the western man sooner or later breaks down in this climate, and a refuge during the summer in some more favored section becomes a necessity. Last summer we were in Shanghai, but this season, by every token, we are forced to go. So June 23 finds us in Shanghai again making prepa rations for the summer trip. Our destination is Arima, Japan, a small town about 15 miles from Kobe, a place of some reputation as a health re sort. Wednesday, 25th, at noon, finds us on board the steamer, and in a little while the goodbyes are said, friends have gone ashore and we steam down the river. Something over an hour puts us past Wooeung, across the bar, and out into tho broad month of the great Yangtsz, and now hav ing satisfied the craving within at the steamer's well filled board, we go on deck and begin to take in surroundings. We are on board the steamer Ilorishima Mara, of the Mitsi BIshi company, formerly the Golden Age, of the Pacific mall company. But several years ago the line of steamers to which the Horishlma belongs, were purchased by a Japanese company, bcnco a com plete change of names. The Pacific mail company gives place to the Mitsi BIshi company; the "Gol den Age" becomes the Ilorishima Mara, and tho Stars and Stripes are changed to the Sun of Japan, The Ilorishima is a goodly side-wheeled steamer, commanded by Captain John Wynn, an English- man-a courteous gentleman, who looks well to the interests of his ship, and also his passengers, The mates, engineer, purser, freight clerk 1 are cither English or American, while the steward and head servants are Chinese, and tho table boys and underlings generally are Japanese. Bather a strange arrangement this, considering the steamer is now owned and entirely controlled by a Japanese company, yet on this line of steam ers, no really responsible position is filled by Japanese. The Chinese aro hated and abused by outsiders generally, but somehow they will crowd themselves into responsible positions, whenever there is an opening, and money is to bo made. Why they are cnosen on a Japanese line of steam ers, to fill the second class positions, Instead of Japanese themselves, can only be attributed to their superior fitness for those positions, and su perior trustworthiness. On this trip we have not many passengers, but rather a curious assortment. Russia, England, Germany, Japan and the United States coutribute to the list. The greatest man among ns. tho one moat looked at and the least talked to, was from snot much to during the voyage A young Japanese army officer, and n young American engineer, on their way from Annam, whither they had been sent by the Japancco government to see the late war, about tbc only piusengcni on board with w be could converse. The rest of us simply looked nt ills greatness-but bis looks did not correspond to his reputation. In looks he was asunltkoa soldier as possible. A stoutlsh man, about six feet dieativeoi high living and full drinking???such was our general. He moved about quietly and unostentatiously, and would naturally Impress a Btranger aa a simple, quiet, good natured old gentleman, who had had his full ahare of the good things of this life. He would never bo selected out of a crowd as tho man who had planned a brilliant campaign, and then executed it. The other passengers were not specially attrac tive. They were of tho commonplace sort, aucb as ono meets with anywhere. As the evening wore on, and we were well out to eca, my interest in my surroundings ctoadily de creased. Every now and then a feeling would pass over me that made me aware that my old enemy??? aeaaJckness???was approaching. Tho further wo went the more conscious 1 became that 1 was again ???^victim. By supper timo ray stomach failed mo altogether, and the odor of tne dining saloon was snore than I could bear. All tho next day I could scarcely creep about, tho least exertion was too much for me. My ouly comfort was the fact that several other of tho passengers were about ns mis erable as myself. My sickness reached the climax in a general upheaval about bedtime, and I went to bed feeling more dead than alive, but consol ing myself with the thought that morning would bring us in sight of land again, and to Nagasaki. The morning did brfug us In sightoflsud, and S ivetu such a view as only Japan can afford. I on???t think that In any country ono can flud auch beautiful laiidecniK) views as In Japan. There is a peculiar beauty in tho rocks, and mountains and seas of these Islands that I hare seen nowhere else. Though wo had been out to sea but a day and a hair, yet the sight of land seemed to ninth all tho passengers. Tho Kick all seemed better, and several of us who had failed to appear In tho dining saloon tho day before, ven tured in and partook of a slight breakfast. About W n. m. wo cast anchor in tho harbor of Nagasaki, a beautiful basin shut in by the mouu- talus on every side; the entrance obscured by island!, among which tho steamer seems to play bide and seek for some timo before wo reach tho barbor. Nagasaki ia a favorite rendezvous for men of war, owing, I suppose, to tho security of the barbor. We found there two American war ahipa, one or two English, and one Russian. Aa wo steamed past the Russian gun boat, going In, they lowered a boat, and wo bad hardly cast anchor before the boat, bringing the commander of the vessel, dressed in full uniform, cocked hat and aU^ was at our side. So toon aa the steps were commander back to his vessel, but stayed only a short while, when be returned to the Ilorishima. The foreign settlement at Nagasaki Is spread out over a hillside in full view of the harbor. Promi nent among the buildings ia the ladles'' home, a mission building, the property of tho Northern Methodist church* It is a well constructed, well located building, and in it Miss Russell and her ???- rice on tbe battle-fields of Virginia. Over to the right, about one-fourth of a mile from the consulate Is the home of two oid American seamen, Commodore Furbcr, as he is called, and h???? brother, tbe captain. Haying also occasion to call on them on our lint visit to as- ram*I, we found them both very aflkble ar.d entertaining gentlemen, as snugly located as two old bachelors could well be. They have spent their lives upon the sea, roving ail over the world, and now in their old age, have settled here in Nagasaki. One of the last vessels, I believe, tbit Captain Forber commanded was oar steamer, the Illrwhmia, when It was the "Golden Age, and the property of the Pacific Mail company, -ue old commodore looks the old sailor to perfection. He has given himself to the cultivation of fruits and flowers, having a beautiful conservatory at tached to hi* house, filled witn rare plants. He is thinking, however, of moving to California???is semewhat dissatisfied with Nagasaki, because ho cannot raise the acuppernong grape there success fully. M As we were to larry at Naga saki all day most of tbe ptaaensers went ashore. We also went and taking imrP-koshas or roan carriages, went throughout the city seeing what we could. But there was not much to see,???some Terypietty specimens of tortoise shell work, for whitr-h Nagasaki fa famous, was about all. Naga* S ki ia viewed beat from shin-board, krom the ip It presents a very attractive appearance, but when cnee on shore, t> beauty vanishes, and the only good view from the shore is to look back Sfain across the barbor. ??? .. Triday, 27th. about midnight, we left Nagasaki, and continue*! our journey. From this time we are constantly in sight of laud, and haven very smooth sea. Though occasionally an uneasy feeling would para over me, the seasickness dt l not return, and then*t of tbe voyage was fully prefer. I never saw a yount man MV tbe old general around with a brea-l smile on his fare, aa If he realized that be bad a real good thing of it; and when be thought himself unots- e< nred he would walk up and down the deck, rub bing hi* hands together, laughing and talking to himself. Id the very beat humor possible. A few hours anociatiou with General Tchi-ruiaiefi hvi irtainly had a remarkable effect on him. Bator- ??y. the 2fctb. the usual amount of eating, poking talking ^ and sleeping was ?????? Sid dutk brought us to ShimonosakL We anchor here for only on hour or so. as it is not an open port, and no foreigner is allowed to land without a (pedal permit. Here wo take on a goad many steerage passengers, and one or two cabin passen gers, all Japanese, of course. Shimonosaki seems tobenoted for its terracotta work, I suppose I may call it. Small boats flocked arouud our steamer, loaded with small images of men, birds, etc., very neatly done, and very neatly colored. An eflort ia being made to induce Japau to open the whole country freely to forelgu trade and travel. Japan is not averse to this, hut she is unwilling to do it under tlie present treaties with foreign powers. As the treaties now exist, if a foreigner in Juptn commits a crime of auy sort, he is not i reenable to the laws of Japan, but is handed over to the consul of hts country for trial and pun ishment. Japan is unwilling to open her country to foreigners under such conditions. She claims that she can now fully be trusted by foreign pow ers, both to protect their subjects white within her domain, and also in case accusation ia brought pgninst any one of them, to try tho case accord ing to justice and equity. Unless foreign powers will trust her to that extent, she is unwilling to open her country to them. In other words Japan j-Jjdms now to be classed among the stable clviliz- this remains to Se seen. There ls!liowever,*a great deal of truth and justice in tno claim set forth by the Japanese government. Just after leaving Shimonosakl night came on, and shut out our view. Sunday morulug, howev er, we awoke to a scene of beauty,Indeed. We are on the Inland sca.&nd It ia well worth a trip across the Pacific to make this passage. Ono can hardlr conceive of anything more beautiful. Tho seal, here so shut In that it resembles a largo river, rather a lake shut in by high mountains. As wc move on tbe scene is constantly changing. Now we pass a small lsland.clothcd in beautiful greeu, t/vuiu, iiMi; uv, a VIIIUKV Itfa VUD lUUk 111 IUU mountain; and now we pass jutting rocks, fantas tically shaped, lifting their heads some twenty or thirty feet out of the sea. At ono point the view \yidens, and we are sailing on a very sea. In a little while our very way seems blocked, and standing upon tbe fore deck of the ship, wo can *ce no path for her passage, when suddenly turn ing an Island, we find a narrow way leading out agnin into a broader space. And so we go on all day long. It Is impossible to describe the beauty of this inland sea, one must see it to realize it. About dusk Sunday evening we reach Kobo. Here General Tcherniareff disembarks with his man Friday. For several other passengers, Kobo ia also the end of their journey. Here, too, wo leave the norishima, but os it Is late, and tho ba bies are asleep, we go ashore until morndu^. ^ THE BLAINE CAMPAIGN. Nothing is clearer to the student of American politics than the difference between tho present political campaign (so far os regards the republi can party) and all tho elections for president, since the close of the late civil war. For tbe first time in tweuty years the battle is being fonght on new issues, and with new sur roundings. Hitherto tho "bloody shirt," and "southern outrages." havo held the republican voters together, and mightv factors they havo shown themselves to be. But the scene has chnngcd. While tho canvas* has. so far, been marked by excessive bittorni and disgusting personalities, there has boon little talk about tho war, and so littlo excitemcut resulting from feeble attempts "to lire tho north ern heart," as to make the political situation very diflerent, and very uncertain, os to republican success. The republican party had at tho outset the vant age ground, resulting from long tenure of office, thorough organization, and the natural desire to hold its power and supremacy. It is too candid opinion of the writer, however, that history docs ???tress sinco the war, and if it could now add lo Its present prosperity the before mentioned ele ments of strength and working power found in the opposition, no combination would bo abio to check its omvard course to on overwhelming vic tory. The combatants aro face to face and tho straggle continunlly reminds a closo observer of the light between France and Germany In the last decade. The French, like the republican party, had a great reputation as successful fighters. Louis Napoleon .also hod tho prestige and name of his uncle to back him. Franco took a never-falling delight in wars and in revolutions, and to the outside world presented a most formi dable appearance. Napoleon's goverment had led France up to a higher degree of material prosperi ty than she had ever reached before, but there was insecurity and rottenness within. The edifice wosl showy, but the foundations were weak. All tho powers of tho government were used to galu ap-i plause or to pnrehaseaupport. Tho war brought all these deficiencies to light. | The dec MM worked peror lei . ... I - - their power???could not offend them by discipline.

Undecided TClmt to Du About St. John nnd Daniel. The tcmper&nco convention met at the ap pointed time, ten o'clock Saturday morning, in Good Templar's hall on Whitehall street to dis cues the adversibility of placing a St. John nud Daniel electoral ticket in the field. Tho meeting was very slimly attended, there not being more than a dozen citizens present. Prominent among these were noticed Messrs. R. M. Mitchell and M. M. Phillips, of Acworth, Mr. McDonald, of Mc Donough, Mr. H. N. Cramer; chairman [state cen tral commltteo of nationalists, or grcoubackcrs, Mr. A. L. Whitesides, Mr. John F. Hobbs, Mr. J. G. Thrower and Messrs. Beck aud White of Atlanta. At half-past ten o'clock the meeting was called to order by Mr. Burbage, secretary of the state temperance association, who stated the purpose for which tho eonventtan was colled, and sug gested that they proceed to busiucss at once. On motion of J. G. Thrower Mr. McDonald, of McDon ough, was called to the chair, Mr. Burbage was elected secretary of the convention, aud tho body commenced its deliberations. From tho very start It was cvldant that tho majority of the con vention were opposed to the plan of getting out an electoral ticket in Georgia. Tho chairman called for expressions of opinion from any persons present relative to the question at issue. Two three gentlemen then aroso in succession and made a few remarks favoring an electoral ticket. Mr. II. N. Cramer made a very strong argument In ticket for St. John nnd Butler. As a temperance man he could not voto against tho prohibitionists, but as a grceubackcr he could voto against them. He was not in favor oi dividing tho twelve elec toral votes of Georgia, but of fusing tho two mi norities and thus get a respectable vote and a pro portional representation amoug tho olectora. The rationalist and prohibition tickets fusel in the field would make a good conselcnco ticket and tho combination would give them strength and importance in tho state and insure a large whisky. Hence to affiliato with tho democrats is nationalists aud staud upon that plank in the national . platform favor ing a constitutional amendment prohibiting tho sale of liquor. Ho would havo tho two parties join hands and sweep tho democrat* and republicans like cobwebs from their path. These parties are fossilized, and represent nothing but dead issues of tho past.

Ho came thcro to discuss tho prospects of success in the event of a St.John electoral ticket being placed in the field. Ho wanted to voto a tomperanco ticket, and was opposed to Butlerlsm, If there was a prospect of Butler???s capturing tno conven tion he would withdraw. Mr. Cramer protested that he came to tho meet ing as a tempc-ranco roan, and not in tho capacity of a gvcenbackcr. He thought ho hail a perfect right there, as tho convention had been advertised ns a citizen*??? meeting, and a* a citizen ho had suggested the method of fusion as n [good way to strengthen both tho prohibitionists and nationalists of tho stato. Ho conceived, therefore, that he had not transcended his rights in the convention. Tho remarks ho had made composed but a bare suggestion.

Judge John D. Cunning ham made a few remarks with rcferonco to tho pancity of tbc attendance. Ho contrasted tho handful present with tbo great gathering that as sembled at the hall on a previous occasion when the sentiment ol the pcoplo was with tho meas ure* to be discussed or adopted.

I The Fulton county republicans met Saturday In ^lently'a hall, on Broad street, near Mitchell. There was not a single whito delegate In attend ance. W. D. Moore, tho chairman of tho county executive committee, called tho meeting to order, and stated that tho object* were to consider tbc pro priety of nominating couuty officers, candidates for the legislature, and to elect delegates to the district convention which will meet hero on tbe 27tb. On motion W. 1). Moore waa made tempo rary chairman aud G. W. Whito temporary secre tary. They were afterwards made the ]>crmanent officers of the convention. A committee on cre dentials was appointed and after being out about an hour mado a report. There waa a considerable discussion over tho report but it was finally adopted. There were tbe usual points of UedMMiid some little chaos, but on the wnote tho lion settled down to business with carotid- more order and harmony than usually characterizes colored gatherings. A motion was made for the appointment of a committee of seven to recommend suitable candidates. H. A. Rucker made a strong speech agaiust auch a course, and said the best thing to do waa to leave the matter to tbe county committee. There was little disposition shown Pi put out candidate*, and after a very lengthy discussion it waa finally decided to continue the present committee In power and to leave to It the matter of nominating or not nominating county officers and candidates for the legislature. There were a number of very tbe colored people committee will very vigorously push tbe matter. If it is found toward the end of the week that there is any chanco t rat books stand.

Mitch Mitchell, Elijah Camp, J. w. Arnold and J. G. Holmes, was appointed to present the name* of delegate* to the district convention which meet* on the 27th.

The Artesian Well Started Yesterday???The Machinery Works Like a Charm Au immenso Jam of pcoplo collected about tho artesian well machinery Saturday uftcruoon to see it started off. At three o???clock tho place was full, and tho Jam increased constantly from that timo until four, at which timo the crowd amount ed to a crush. Tho derrick was dotted over with boys and men who had climbed up on it, and the fence* and shed roofs were loaded.
