better than the empire stood the
bargain and sale.
We are surprised to see the state

Early.—A correspondent of the
Early County News writes from Ar

of that section were planting corn on
the 20th Inst.; also that "Bill James
has corn four or five blades high,
and some extra early as high as an
ordinary man’s shoulder.”

Death or J. 11. Christy.— A dis
patch front Augusta announces the
death of John H. Christy, editor of
the Southern Watchman, at Athens,
Ga., on Monday. A week or ten days
ago he had his foot crushed at tho
railroad depot In Athens, from which
mortification ensued, causing Ills

most honorable and successful of
Georgia journalists. He was a flue
specimen of the manhood and worth
of the good old State of his nativity
—North Carolina. The editorial fra
ternity of Georgia did not embrace a
more popular or gentlemanly mem
ber, or one whose death will be more
greatly regretted.
Muscogee Cases Decided. —We
learn that a private dispatch from
Atlauta, received in this city yester
day, reports the decisions of the Su
preme Court upon the following im
portant cases from Muscogee:
Western Union Telegraph Compa
ny vs. T. S. Fontaine : judgment af
firmed.
Howe Sewing Machine Company
vs. C. C.-Souder; judgment affirmed!
Winter's Heirs vs. Water Lot Com
pany ; judgment reversed.
Mobile & Girard Railroad Compa
ny vs. Woolfolk; judgment affirmed.
Eagle Factory vs. ,T. Rhodes
Browne; judgment affirmed (no ru
mored iu this case.i
It appears from ottr dispatches that the
yielding of many of the “filibustering”
Democrats of the House on Monday, after
they had shown their ability and inclina
tion to prevent the conclusion of the
count, was caused by a letter from llayes
endorsing the speech of Representative
Foster, which wo published last week.
We arc glad that they have him commit
ted in black and white, and that by the
exercise of a resolution becoming their
strength and popular backing, they have
saved this much from the wreck of their
rights. Foster’s speech contained the
most explicit assuranous that hereafter
the State governments of the South were
to be left to stand or full as their own
strength or weakness might decide. That
is all that wo want on that score.
The following extract, from Mat
Carpenter’s speech on Louisiana is
worth reading. He says:
“To relieve some little anxiety t hat
exists in some parts of the country,
lot me occupy one moment in stating
for whom I appear here. I desire to
say, in the first place, that I do not
appear for Samuel J. Tilden. He is
a gentleman whose acquaintance I
have not the honor of, with whom I
have no sympathy, against whom I
voted on the 7th of November last,
and, if this Tribunal could order a
new election, I should vote against
him again—believing, as I do, that
the aooosston of the Democratic parly
to power in this country to-day would
be the greatest calamity that, could
befall the people except one, and that
oue greater calamity would be to
keep him out by fraud ami falsehood.
"I appear here for 10,000 legal
voters in the State of Louisiana, who,
without aoousation or proof, indict
ment or trial, notice or henriug, have
been disfranchised by four villains
incorporated in perpetual succession,
whose official title is the Returning
Board of Louisiana.”
A terrible cuttting and shooting scrape
occurred in the lower part of Emanuel
county a few days ago, tlio parties being
Thomas, Collins sr., Thomas Collins, jr.,
and William Collins—die two last named
being brothers and related to the first men
tioned. Tom Collins, Jr„ received three
frightful wounds with a knife in the hands
of Tom Collins, sr. One of the wounds
was in the thigh, cuttiug to the bone aud
measuring seven inches in length. An
other was across the face, cutting the nose
in two. The other was in the side, just
below the ribs. In turn |Tom Collins, sr.,
was shot three times by bis wounded an
tagonist, one ball taking effect near the
spine aud penetrating the
through the neck, and a third in the arm.
Neither were dead at last accounts. —$ a

Indian Corn as a Food.- At the last
meeting of the Paris academy oi medicine,
November 11, M. Fea, of Padua, enlarged
on the merits of maize os an article'of food.
He gave comparative tables to show that
maize is superior to all other cereals in
fatty matters, and that it may be consid
ered us a perfect food. He also replied
to objections that have been made to maize
act using it of giving raise to certain dis
eases, notabiv pellagra; and demonstrated
that the penfcillium, which is supposed to
originate this disease, never attacks maize
unless it is damaged.
By an odd chance two lovers of
one woman met as convicts in the
Alabama State prison. One was to
serve three years and the other five;
and the latter desired a compact by
which the former was not to take ad
vantage of his earlier freedoms but to
refrain from courting the woman
until both were at liberty. The
three-years’ man refused to make
uny such agreement, and was in
consequence nearly murdered by the
five-years’ man. The woman “ had
already married somebody else.
THE DKMOCMATIC PARTY ANII THE
CWM.HiMON.
Our Taylor county correspondent
does us the justice to say that our pa
per has not exhibited the bitterness
toward Democrats who supported the
Electoral Commission, of which ho
complains. While we deplore, we
never harshly criticise what wo re
gard as mere errors of judgment by
our political associates. In the case
under discussion, the blunder com
mitted by the majority of our party
does seem to us a most egregious and
unfortunate one, but still it was an
error only of judgment, unduly warp
ed wo think by business interests and
Influences operating upon the East
ern Democratic Congressmen, and
by the embarrassments of their
situation upon the Southern
Democrats. But they all doubtless
had the interests of the country
at heart, and their very hon
esty of purpose makes tho crime
which duped and robbed (hern the
more heinous.
There is one opinion of our corres
pondent in which we differ with him.
It is that there would have been civil
war if the Democrats had not accept
ed the Commission, and that they
acted properly in risking the loss of
their rights and the rights of the
people w horn they represented rather
than to permit a conflict. Wo do not
believe that there would have been
war, and we do not think that a po
litical party ought to yield their
rights even to avoid a conflict of
arms.
In this connection we refer to a
letter of Senator Edmunds, with the
comments of the Albany Argus,
which we copy elsewhere. Edmunds
is the man who drafted the Electoral
Commission bill, and the Argus is
regarded as the confidential "organ”
of Gov. Tilden. Edmunds makes the
distinct admission that the Demo
crats had all the advantages on their
side before the passage of tho bill,
and that he designed It to prevent
the otherwise inevitable inaugura
tion of Tilden. He says that the
House had only to exercise rights
which it had exercised before, and
which had long been conceded to it,
to throw out the votes of Louisi
ana and Florida, and that
this must have been followed by
Tilden’s inauguration. Is there any
intimation of war in this? It was
apparent that the Radicals were
wavering and alarmed when the bill
was concocted. We believe that not
a single public meeting in the whole
Union had seconded them in their
purpose to "count in” Hayes. On tho
other hand, the Democratic party
was becoming thoroughly aroused,
and could hardly be restrained by its
more politic leaders from declaring
outright that it would have Tilden
by peaceable or forcible means. It
was under this pressure that the
Radicals fell back upon the Electoral
Commission, and at this juncture of
almost assured triumph that the
Democratic Congressmen accopted
it. In view of the great advantage
which tho Republicans gained by it,
and of the now almost certain defeat
which tho Democrats have sustained
by it, we think that even the patriot
ic spirit which influenced the latter
to accept it is largely discounted by
its mistaken credulity.
Wo utterly reject the doctrine that
an apprehension of “disturbances of
trade” or of the value of paper secu
rities can justify a violation of the
Constitution or of the polltioal rights
of a majority of the American people.
Have we beoomo what Nicholas of
Russia said the English had become
—“a nation of shop-keepers?” Is
our “national debt a national bless
ing” because it makes the influential
people of the country subordi
nate their political rights to their
pecuniary interests? We are happy
to know thatßuch considerations did
not influence the support whioh the
representatives and people of the
South gave to the Commission
scheme; but we saw it exhibited in
the petitions sent from the Eastern
commercial centres to Congress,
whioh, without venturing to express
an opinion as to which party had
fairly won the Presidency, or even to
plead for justice aud theOonstitution,
earnestly begged that tho dispute
should bo settled in some way— in any
way, so that no disturbance of bus
iness should result!
As to the question whether there
would hiive been war if the Demo
cratic House had exercised the right
which Mr, Edmunds concedes to it—
we copy below an extract from the
speech of Mr. Bradford, of Alabama,
opposing the passage of the Commis
sion bill, to show how inuny thought
ful Democrats looked upon thlaques
tion of war at that time :
The other and better course is the one
f minted out In the Constitution, and foi
owed in all the history of our govern
ment. This we ought to pursue. This
the people expect us to pursue. We have
no right to presume that any body will
levy war in this country because we dis
charge our duty. There will be no war.
The advocates of peace are all the people.
Republicans menace, because Democrats
are timid, Tilden has been eleoted Presi
dent of the United States; If a Republican
Senate should fail to recognize and ac
knowledge this fact, the House should
theu proceed to re-ufflrm the judgment
and selection of the people. It has the
right and it has tlie power and lacks only
tlie courage to condemn the unhallowed
work of tho Impious conspirators who
have raped the States of Louisiana and
Florida. It is a national disgrace to treat
with these felons, and the dignity and
high standing of those who will be called
upon to conduct the negotiation will not
redeem its character. The Judges who
must play confessors to oongreesslonal
conciences will suffer In the public estima
tion. The whole government will be in
volved in the odium of arbitrating the
right of tire people to choose their Presi
dent.
Sir, the rules of the House have denied
me the privilege of discussing elaborately
and at length the provisions of this bill.
Rut Itis only permitted me to give in brief
my notions of duty suggested bv the
situation in which 1 am placed. Tlie bill will
pass against my humble protest It may
secure an acknowledgement of Mr. Til
den’s election as its advocates on this side
of the House believe, (rod grant that it
will! But, as for myself, I prefer to give
constitutional sanction to what the people
have done, and without taking chances of
sharing responsibility with another in
an indivisible obligation, to proclaim Mr.
Tilden, not the fortunate suitor before a
court of arbitration for the Presidency,
but the annointed of the people, President
of the United States.
|For the Columbus Tlrnea.)
a nr.PExr.E op the wkhocrath
AT HO ACCEPTED THE
COHHIUMH,
Mr. Editor: I am constrained to
express some thoughts caused partly
by your criticisms of the judgment,
if not of the motives and feelings, of
the many wise and noble Democrats
who bellied to make the law creating
the Grand Commission. Your col
umns seem to show that division Is
springing up in the Democratic party
merely because a majority of the
Commission bave basely betrayed
thoir trusts und falsified their solemn
promises. It further seems that a few
Democrats who opposed the law are
bitterly censuring, aud one Democrat
(Mr. Carr) is even villifying, those
Democrats who favored tho law.
There was simply an honest differ
ence of opinion between the Demo
crats who advocated and those who
opposed the law. Your editorials,
Mr. Editor, display no veuom against
those Democrats who favored the
law. You bave a perfect right to dif
fer from their judgment. As “Abram
said unto Lot, Let there be no strife,
I pray thee, between me and thee,
and between my herdsmen and thy
hordsmeD ; for we be brethren." But
let no good Democrat “separate”
himself from the Democratic party
on account of the tnukiog or working
of the Grand Commission. But I
wish to rebuke the spirit. of fault
finding and bitter censure to which I
have alluded.
What! An honest man quarrel with
tho Democratic party and make war
on It at this hour ?
<• While stands the Colieoum, Rome shall stand;
When falls the Coliseum, Rome shall fall;
Aud when Rome falle—the world."
This is the glorious and mighty re
lation which the Democratic party
sustains to the freedom of mankind.
“What dost thou fear, thou carriest
Caisar and his fortunes.” The Dem
ocratic party is the Atlas that up
holds the Freedom and Public Virtue
of this Laud. Her enemies are the
enemies of Mankind and of Human
Progress. When, seventeen years
ago, the Democratic party was rent
asunder, tho country was soon rent
asunder; when the Democratic party
fell, our great country fell.
“O, what a fall was there, my Countrymen 1
Then I and you and all of us fell down,
Whilst bloody treason flourished o'er us."
Aye, and flourishes over us to this
hour,
Those Democrats who are assailing
the papty are acting the part of the
blind Samson—making sport for his
own enemies, the Philistines; and,
like Samson, they may bury them
selves and their enemies, as well
as their friends and country, in one
common ruin. They display tho
overflowing poison of the rattle
snake ; which, in its blind and insane
fury, bites aud destroys itself.
What! Assail the motives of
fhunijan, Bayard, Gordon, Lamar,
and the chiefs who constitute a ma
jority of the leaders of tho Democra
tic party, and who helped to make
the Grand Commission! Of every
one of those Democrats we can truly
say—
••Upon hii brow shame is ashamed to sit.”
To defend their motives and their
character is “to gild refined gold and
paint the lily.”
Your favorite, Ben Hill, contributed
greatly to the making of the Com
mission. Indeed, was it not approved
by a great majority of the wisest and
best Democrats in Congress—in fact,
by a large majority of all the Demo
crats in Congress? If we differ from
them, W 9 should do so modestly and
with great distrust of our opinions;
for without insisting on their supe
rior talents, experience and attain
ments, their opportunities to form a
wise and just opinion are vastly
greater than ours. Above all, let
every man, woman and child who
has any respect for truth, justice,
common honesty and the good of hi 9
country, stand by the Democratic
party. I have known the Democratic
party sinee 1840. In all that long pe
riod of thirty-seven years, whatever
may have been its faults and mis
takes, it has never betrayqd the coun
try or the principles of free govern
ment. But, in my opinion, it occu
pies at this moment a more glorious
moral and political position than it
has ever doue in its long, bfilliant,
beneficent career.
Messrs. Editors, let us not under
rate the dangers which lately beset
us. To discuss the subjeot in all its
phases would fill a volume. Suffice it
to say that the clouds of civil war
loomed above the political horizon,
and the Grand Commission seemed to
offer a fair and honorable method of
turning aside their fury. The Demo
crats in Congress preferred the peace
and good order of their country to
the success of their party, and if they
had refused so fair a compromise as
the Grand Commission they would
have greatly injured their party.
Surely they might hope to find one
honest Radical araoug eight. If the
Radicals had oue honest man, they
did not put him on tiie Commission.
The Radicals on the Commission
surely betrayed their trust, for they
were placed there, not as partisans,
but as impartial Judges. Messrs.
Radicals! you have made the Grand
Commission an Alamo to us Demo
crats, but we will yet make the ballot
box a San Jacinto to you, and we will
“remember,” and mak-' you “remem
ber the Alamo.” And let not Demo
crats find fault with their leaders be
cause failure attended their best aud
wisest efforts.
The historian Rollin, after relating
the battle of Cannae, in which the
Romans lost above seventy thousand
men, continued, “In Rome a Consul
who had fled was thanked because
he had not despaired of the com
monwealth ; but at Carthage, people
were almost angry with Hannibal
for being victorious.” Who are most
worthy of imitation, the Romans or
the Carthaginians?
The Radicals, by the multitude
and magnitude of their crimes, have
arrayed themselves against the mor
al sense of mankind. They have tri
umphed over truth, justice and
mercy, and have therefore marshal
ed themselves against the Lord of
Hosts. “Vengeance is mine and I
will repay,” salth the Lord.

THE PORK COR>KK IN CHICAGO.
HOW AND WHY PORK HAS BEEN FORCED
DOWN TO ITS PRESENT LOW PRICE
IN THAT CITY.
During the packing season, up to
the past few weeks, the couutry at
large believed that pork product was
cheap enough, being much lower
than last year, with au increased
shipping demand, amounting, on for
eigu shipments, to an excess over last
year of more than 100,000,000 pounds,
with a less crop of hogs. This caused
a large speculative demand from all
parts of the country; the price was
forced up by reason of this demand,
which the ring took advantage of to
sell, and not only sold the entire
stock of pork iu Chicago, but sold
until they became largely short on
(he market. The next thing to be
done was to depress the market to
enable them 19 get back their stock
at reduced prices, as also to force
buyers to sell out, making a profit
botli on actual stock, as also short
sales. It has proven more difficult
to do this than was supposed, as with
every decline new buyers came in
and larger amounts had to be offered
to cause a still further decline. Then,
offers have been for futures, and, the
stock being unlimited, the game has
so far succeeded as to depress the
price; yet it is no doubt true that the
balance would show a larger short
interest on the pait of the ring than
when it first began operations.
The country will finally learn from
these lessons that dealing in
futures in Chicago is exceedingly
dangerous. No matter how much it
might look like a sure thing at the
beginning, the very fact that every
body is buying merely for specula
tion would seem to be the right time
to sell short, as buying for future al
ways tends to lower prices, as when
such futures become due the parties
buying on speculation alone must
sell, while the contrary is true of
short sale3 -the sellers become pur
chasers when the time for the fulfill
ment of the contract arises; should,
however, the buyers conclude to
take the property to-night, or even a
small portion of it, the state of uffairs
now existing would be completely re
versed ; the ring would then be com
pelled to become purchasers them
selves, and thereby would be made
to contribute to their own destruc
tion.
The short interest now on the part
of the ring is supposed to be over
1,000,(W0 barrels of pork for March
atone. The entire stock of pork
t here is less than 200,000 barrets, and
supposed to be very much over-esti
mated for the purpose of frightening
the longs.
Moral.— When you buy a future
for an advance, to better secure any
advance taka the property, and when
you sell be sure you have the proper
ty to deliver. — St. Louis Globe-Demo
crat, 23 and.
Ducklings more Profitable than
Chickens — The saying often applied to
young ducks that “they eat more than
they are worth,” may be a very unjust one.
Several years ago we were speaking with
a woman who raised yearly large num
bers of ducks regarding the
comparative amount of food consumed to
bring them to their full growth. She
stated that “ducks eat less in proportion
to their growth than chickens.” Our
renders may be surprised at this, but upon
giving the matter a little thought they
will understand the reason. It is because
the ducklings reach maturity sooner than
the chickens, and, of course, the longer it
takes to bring a creature to muturity, the
greater the expense, not only of food, but
of time and trouble. Experiment has de
monstrated the fact that with the same
quanity of food aud care, the ducklings, in
ninety days from the shell, may be made
to weigh nine or ten pounds per, pair or
over, while chickens, in the same length
of time, come to weigh only six or seven
pounds per pair. Hence the remark quo
ted at) the commencement of this paper,
does not apply when ducklings are proper
ly and intelligently managed.— Poultry
