THE DAILY TIMES. JOHN H. MARTIN, - - • Editor. Ci>limlbu. (M FRIDAY 1876. " " 11 ■ a. g. LARGEST CIRCULATION ■ a lh* OmMlm la and Trading at Coliimhu.. The Now York Evening Post (Rep.) observes that if the Republicans In sist that the authentic action of the State Is conclusive in Louisiana they must admit that it Is conclusive in Oregon. Upon the Bute theory any alleged wrong In the appointment of Electors must be right In the Htate. John Bright,the English reformer, differs radically with Pope. The lat ter said, “Whatever is, is right." The former says, in effect, “Whatever is> is wrong.” He is thus quoted liter ally: “It seems to mo that the whole world is wroag-that everything is wroug in the creation and arrange ment of the conditions under which men lire on this earth.” The Boston Herald, on challenge, gives these representative and illus trative names of Massachusetts Re publicans who believe that Gov. Tilden has been fairly elected Presi dent: Estes Howe, Clement Hugh Hill, Willard P. Phillips, James Rus sell Lowell, James Freeman Clarke, Martin Brimmer, William E. Per kins, Jno. E. Sanford, and Alexander H. Bullock. —— —->•♦ • ’ The New York World objects to the President’s remarks about "the slums of New York." It wants to know: "Havenot the ignorant and toiling poor of New York shown as much interest, a# a class, ‘in the State or in the republic,’ as a cortaln tanner in Galena once manifested when he had neither sufficient intel ligence nor opportunity, through newspapers or other wise, to ‘witness tho excitement attendant on Presi dential elections?’ ” We said the other day, noticing the remark attributed Jo Ben Hill, that "he regarded Gen. Hayes’ elec tion as a victory ovor the ultraisms of the Republican party,” that if Mr. Hill had said nomination instead of “election,” he would have had It about right. We now find that “nomination" was the word he used—not “election.” and every well informed politician knows that the remark, thus rightly q uoted. Is true. Puominknt Radicals at New Orleans say that If any attempt is made by theCongressionul Committee to pun ish tho members of the returning board for contempt, Gen. Grunt will protect them, or they will be released on habeas corpus by the Federal courts, es the canvassers were In South Carolina. There will be but little difference between the two cases —only in one the Federal Court interfered with the jurisdiction and decrees of the State Court, and in the other the interference would be with the authority of one branch of Congress. - *— The New York World makes up u table of Representatives elect to the next Congress, allowing the Radicals ail the members whom they have fraudulently “counted in.” The summary shows 148 Democrats and 142 ltepublleans. The only members yet to be elected are 3 In New Hamp shire. Allowing the Radicals all of these, the Democrats will have a majority of 3. There are several contested seats, besides those from Louisiana and Florida. The House will stand as above stated when it meets, but there Is no doubt that five or six Radicals will bo afterwards expelled from seat# unjustly ob tained. - ■— Horace While’s Remedy. la ft recent interview, Mr. Horace White, who was editor of the Chicago Tribune when it represented the moder ate conservative element of the Republi can parly, said in answer to the question -“What remedy would you suggest for the existing stale of thingsi" “If Mr. llayea is installed in the Exec tive Mansion, and put in possession of the Treasury and other departments by force, with no better title than lie now [appears to have, and if he should decide to accept the office with such a title, lie would l>e the de facia President, and his acts would be valid as against third parties. But he ought not to be recognized as President l>v Congress, and no appropriation of money should be made during his usurpa tion, except such os may be necessary to protect Uie public credit, transport the mails, keep the courts open, collect the revenue, pay the pensions, and generally to hold society together, than this the Democrat* cannot safely do. More than this they are not required to do.” “In order to preservo the continuity of the Government and to have a President de jure, it would be necessary for Mr. Tilileu to take the oath of office—this bsing the only form of inauguration known to the law—and to reside at the seat of Government. Any attempt at violence is to be deprecated, and proba bly the party that first resorts to violence will be defeated, irrespective of tbe mer its of tbe controversy. It is peculiarly an Anglo Saxon trait to endure evils while they arc endurable. The Democratic party has everything to gain by paying respect to this national characteristic. ” Democratic Confidence In Wa*litngton. special t* the Coorier-Jotirntl.] Washington, Dec, 18.—The feeling here among Democrats in regard to the final result is one of increased confidence, based, however, very largely on the firmness shown by the Northern and Western Democracy. It is not true that Southern Democratic Congressmen want the Northern Democracy to cubroit to the fraud and usurpation, and there is not a single case of a recreant among them ready to sell out to Hayes. The Presi dent. is now the chief source of trouble. Maddened by hate and whiskey, bis head and tongue are running all the time on the use of his army to settle the election dispute, and he is now threatening to call out the militia of the States. lu addition to the Ohio and Indiana State Conventions, Pennsylvania is mov ing, and it is understood that a call Will be made by the Democratic State Com mittee for a Convention to be held on the Bth of January next. Other States'will probably follow. A BETTER FREEING. Many accounts concur In the re port that there are signs of giving way in the Radical lino ut Washing ton, and that the Democrats are in a corresponding degree encouraged 'to believe that they can yet head off ftho plot to mako Ilaycs President by fraud and force. We hope that this re ported weakening of the one party and growing confidence of the other|is correctly represented, and Indeed we see good reasons for such a hope. The Democrats-especially those of the West—have within tho lastweok been more outspoken In declaring their purpose to insist on the inau guration of Tilden. They are elicit ing and about to organize a public sentiment so strong and resolute that It must command respect. The pri mary meetings and Htate conven tions which they have called will show that there is no break or di vision whatever in the Democratic ranks -that every man who vo ted for Tilden believes him to bo rightfully elected and de mands tlmt he be made President; and not every Democrat only, but many honest Republicans will be found to side with them. On tho othor hand, how can the Radicals meet such a popular demonstration? They know that there is division in their own ranks; they know that, however the leaders may stick to gether for the sake of office and power, the mass of the American people love justice and want fair play. The Republicans would only demonstrate their own weakness and divisions by calling popular meetings to Insist on Hayes’ right to the office. The preponderance of public sentiment, both In volume and earnestness, on the Democratic side, would be io great ns to show the Radicals that they would commit po litical suicide by bolstering up fraud with force. It is the Democratic ap peal to the "sober second thought of the people” that Is producing the re action now noticeable. Had It been made a month sooner, its triumph would have been more certain and easy. Aggression, usurpation or wrong cannot be arrested by a protest whiith announces that opposition will be carried no farther. It will not be deterred by the declaration, “we are wronged and outraged, but we do not mean to resist.” So long as only this kind of a protest was uttered by the Democrats, the Radical leuders exhibited no scruple or sign of giving way. We have heard a good deal about the influence of capital and wealth in deciding this question, its dread of excitement and conflict, and its pow er to bring about a peaceful settle ment. That settlement was to be the inauguration of Hayes. But this reliance upon tbe conservatism of capital was based upon the general apprehension that un attempt to pre vent. the inauguration of Hayes would lead to a conflict, while Tilden could be unjustly counted out with out dunger of such a calamity. The large monied and property interests will see in the outspoken resolutions of the Northern Democracy that they might have been mistaken about this. They will see that popu lar right is yet a power in this land* and cannot easily be overridden even by a military chieftain with the army of the country at his command. When they are made to see this, they may come to the conclusion that the surest way to avoid the dreaded con flict Is to stand by right, honesty and the constitution. They may seo that usurpation and revolution, even when flacked by the power of the govern ment, is not true conservatism, and that the stability of every great In terest in this country will be pro moted fly u continued regard for the boverelgutv of the people and the supremacy of law over force. That, such may be the issue of this vexed huestlon Is our earnest desire. ———• ♦ • —' lItNBU.VSEn UKOItUIA HEWS. —There was no quorum at the meeting of tho stockholders of tbe Central Rail road, in Savannah, on Tuesday, The meeting adjourned to Wednesday. —Sam Johnson, u colored youth of eighteen, was arrested in Augusta on Tuesday, as the thief who hod committed robberies in that city by cutting out glass witb one of the glass cutters lately sold there and boro by a peddler.

Selma, Dallas County, Ala., I December 18, 1870. j Editor Columbus Times: We have just made a Hying trip through this “garden spot" of earth, the famous “cane brake” country of Marengo, Perry and Dallas, from Demopolls to this point. If we were a farmer on a large scale, In ono of these counties would bo our grange. Hero are as robust, strong, healthy men and women us eau be found in the famous blue gruss region of Ken tucky. This section is as free from miasmatic causes as any part of Ten nessee or Kenluckj on lands of equal productive grades. On the best cotton lauds here one year with another, by skilled labor, a bale of 000 pounds of lint cotton can be gathered on each acre proper ly cultivated, Here all is cotton cotton ; for ten years the ■furtners have pluuted too much of if. The poople have idolized the “ Cotton God,'l believing in a secular way that there was no hope of a financial sal vation, either temporal or eternal, except habilitated in cotton cloth, whether purple or not. They have bowed down to this false plantition god; they have worshipped at his foot-stool until “It would almost ap pear that Providence was offended with this one idea, idolatry, and had determined to end the worshipping of cotton, to tho exclusion of the common necessaries of life, even to tho risk of absolute want, for such is surely the inevitable tendency and result. Hence if God loves his crea tures and chastises whom he loves, for our temporal benefits, certainly he has laid a heavy hand on this Immediate country. And how could a country, where the people have been so narrow-sighted as to destroy their own chances of prosperity, even as to become notorious in failures, expect to be inviting to those unac quainted ; and to-day if I could meet every cotton grower in this vast cot ton region, comprising an Empire within itself, and explain to all that they were rapidly working out sure destruction, that this is another of sucidal policy, that just one-half theamount now planted would bring just as much money and at one-half the outlay, leaving time and room for the production of hun dreds of other things more valuable, because now necessary to life, per haps there might be an awakening to the reality, but as it is, each indi vidual “knows the wrong” and “still the wrong pursues,” hoping all the time that his neighbors will take the right way, thereby leaving him the entire monopoly in his own small or large crop of the entire cotton production; yes, each planter im agines lie is in the centre of n pri vate ring, and that “Golconda’s gold” is within his own reach and no other; yes, and such a ring, like the Indian’s fellow ‘a hell of a one.’ ” But, we are getting naughty over this evil that uffliets this section, and not only this section, but the whole land where the staple white tleece is grown exclusively to the neglect of other and better crops. We must not lose sight of the fact that “this is both a coin and stock country, bad cultivation, neglect and want of interest and knowledge has developed that much ; a thing patent enough to any ono who woald visit here and examine for himself. If an. average of thirty bushels of corn can be produced here with a “lick and a promise,” how much would the land yield if thoroughly tilled.” “Where do cows and mules do bet ter, having to shift for themselves, and until ready for use? Where do all vegetables grow to greater per fection? Where does the California clover grow more luxuriantly? Where the Bermuda grass, that perennial inexhaustible and reliable resource? And, who knows but that the other clovers and grasses would do equally well here, as I have every reason to believe the Kentucky Blue Grass would, with fine grasses, thrive best in very rich soil. Fine stock would soon occupy the attention of the raiser here inslead of the scrubby, in formed ponies, the longer horned, longer shanked cattle, and the long snouted “drink-out-of-a-jug,” razor backed Itogs, that now have to root for a living or die.fi This is a splendid Country for swine, and all a man has to do is to put corn in paunches, in stead of poking them with a forked stick, or tying knots in their tails to keep them from going through the cracks. Yes, gentlemen of the In ternational, you stopped this branch of your road too soon. This is the El Dorado country if tho people here would throw off the incubus of cotton, sell off some lands to good emigrants, pay their debts and take anew start, and time will prove what I say. “Let men come here swearing never to make cotton an object, or business; be industrious, go to work, and hire others, if able, and follow them and their business, buy noth ing on a credit; yes, starve first, and don’t become attendants at loafers’ dens and whisky shops, and prosper ity will as surely and rapidly attend their efforts as on any other spot on God’s green earth." To the healthy, hardy farmer of Europe or elsewhere, this is the place to which he can come and bet ter his condition. Then why go West? “B.”' —Athens has received 17,331 halos of cotton this season, against 14,000 bales to corresponding date of last season. The Watchman thinks that the gain is not due to an increased production this season, but to an extension of ratlroad facilities for transportation. —The Qmstiivtum says that J. J. Wil liams A Cos., of Atlanta, have slaughtered 1500 head of hogs this season. On Satur day they killed 100 that averaged 308 pounds net. ‘'Syiuines' Hole.-' There must be many, particularly amongst the younger generation, to whom the expretsion ‘‘By mines' Hole” is familiar but. who arc unable to assign any definite meaning to it. According to the late Mr. Symmes, whose theory made something of a sensation in his day, the figure of tho earth is something like that of an apple •'cored” by thrusting through it a hollow cylinder or tube. It ishubitablc within us well as without, and the intenor may be readied under favorable conditions by one of the polar openings, or ‘‘Syinmes’ Hole.” A singular chapter in the history ol the recent British Arelic Expedition is a correspondence between Caputin Nares, the commader, and Mr. Ameticus Symines, sou and disciple of the theorist. Mr. Synmu-s, it appears, addressed Captain Nares through General Bchenck, our Min ister, directing attention to his luther's views, and asking that anything tending to confirm them tie carefully noted. Gen eral Bchenck kindly replied, staling that the communication had been delivered in the proper quarter, and Cuptain Nares had also tlie courtesy to write promising Unit if he should be so fortunate as to sail far enough north to “find the land dtp” lie would not forget to give Mr. Symmes’ father the credit of having foretold that such would lie the esse. A letter was al so received from the Lords of the Admir alty in reply to a request from Mr. Symmes that lie he apprised of certain discoveries that might be made. Their lordships civilly promise that nil the in formation obtainable “will appear in due course in the publ c prints.” “Symmes’ Hole” remains undiscovered and Synnnea’ sou undisturbed. He is still musleroftlic situation, so fur asc mcertis the impregna bility of the iamily position. The table of railway earnings for No vember shows that the lotul earnings of 18 Western roads were f5,U67,482, a de crease of |18(!,2C7 from the earnings of the same roads in November, 1875, 11 of the 18 roads showing a decrease. The same rdails report gross earnings from .January 1 to November 30, of $01,640,- 575, an increase of 13,034,860 over the same period of 1876. Reports of 14 ad ditional roads for October show an in crease of $020,087 since January 1. These reports are mainly of Western roads, whose earnings have not been much affected by the railway war. If the trunk lines reported their earnings, it is doubt ful whether uny increase would be show n over last year. In the report for Novem ber, the Central Pacific and the roads west and southwest from St Louis are the principal ones which show a material increase learnings. The continuation of low rates on the trunk lines between the West and the Atlantic has probably affected, more or less, the earnings of the Illinois, Central and all other roads east of the Mississippi river.
