ENGLAND AND THE WAE.
< f
NO CAUSE FOR ALARM.
London, April 27. The Tunas, In a
leading artitte, deprecates needless
panic concerning the war, and says:
England may have to strengthen her
fleet in the Mediterranean, and send
it nearer the scene of action. Du
ring the Franco-German war Eng
land had deep and rfeal interests to
guard, but the nation displayed no
weakness or noiay alarm. We as
sumed that we were perfectly able to
defend our interests if they were at
tacked, and meanwhile we maintain
ed yie strictest neutrality. We can
not do* tetter than follow the prece
dent we then set ourselves. Our
Interests in Turkey are manifold and
great, but' it would be easy to exerag
erate them so> long as the war keeps
within certain limits, and at present
they cannot be compared in impor
tance to those of Austria. No doubt
the war mlg&t. both in Europe and
Asia, roll to points of greater impor
tance to us than to any other State,
just as the war in 1870 might have
rolled to Antwerp; but we have pre
cisely the same security now as we
had then in the self-interest of the
principal command out. Russia,
whatever be her faults, has at least a
peculiarly keen sense of her own in
terest. To presume that she would
absolutely court a collision with the
groatest naval power In the world, Is
to presume she would suddenly be
coqje infatuated as Turkey.
.ltd* sometimes assumed that Con
stantinople might be taken by a dar
ing attack, but in reality it is one of
the stongest places in the world. The
Turks might, so long us they com
mand the sea, bold it siogle ; handed,
and perhaps the knowledge oT this
fact adds emphasis to Russia’s dec
laration that she will not seize Con
stantinople. At all events, if suffi
ciently rebuked, we can have no cries
of undignified t|larm and undisguised
appeals to ignorant passion. This
country can afford to regard the pres
ent contest calmnly, lor the simple
aeason that it will be ferfeotly well
able to defend its interes’s if, and
when they are attacked.

London, April 27.—England and

to join in the question regarding

any one of the three powers to act
separately in fulfilment of its terms.
The question of British active inter

before the end of next week. It is
not expected in high quarters in
London that a decision will be press
ed so soon, though it is anticipated
that the momentous alternative of
declaring war against Russia will
arise very shortly. The situation is
regarded at Vienna as far more
urgent than British statesmen seem
to admit, and itabould be remember

The Republican Quarrel.
IIAYES AND EVARTS THINK IT NOT GOING
TO BE MUCH OF A SHOWER.
Special Despatch to the World.]
Washington, April 23.—Although the
evidence of the increasing hostility of tile
Republican party to the President’s
Southern policycontinues to multiply, the
President does not to be alarmed
at the size of the vigor of the revolt. In
conversation to-day he said that he felt
confident that the country would approve
of it if it turned out successful aud con
tributed to the peace and prosperity the
sections where it had been enforced, as
well a* to all other States. lie regretted
that some portions of the Republican
party had doubted the wisdom of the
course he had pursued, but he did not be
lieve that the parly would be united
against him. Secretary Evarts, in re
sponding to the suggestion to-day that the
Republican Senate might go so lar as to
reject the President’s nominations as an
expression of its opposition to the alleged
civil-service reform and Southern policy,
thought that such could not be the case,
hut if it should, he believed the Demo
cratic Senators would turn in and confirm
the appointments. Mr. Evarts said the
President had but the single purpose of
the good of the whole country in view,
and as he was not a candidate for re-elec
tion he was free to carry it out untram
melled by personal consideration*, and in
the face even of opposition from wilhin
his own party. Tue publication to-day
of Ben Wade’s letter is a reflex of the ex
treme wing of the Ohio Republicans,
while one of a private nature from cx-
Attorney-General Taft, representing the
more conservative branch, is equally con
clusive in deprecating the President’s
course. Judge Taft has denied th at lie
lias written a letter denouncing Hayes,
which'may be true, but he has certainly
written here opposing his course towards
the South.
THE WIHG-REFIIHI.ICAN PARTY.
VIEWS OK SECRETARY THOMPSON ON THE
NECESSITY AND ORGANIZATION
OK A NEW PARTY.
St, Louis Republican.)
Washington, April 22.— Tho Daily j
Nation, of this city, whioh recently j
announced Itself as the organ of a;
new Whig party, will to-morrow print
a long Interview with Secretary
Thompson, from whioh the following
is taken:
“The country is now in a condition I
favorable to the adoption of tho prin-1
oiples which were the platform of tho i
old Whig purty, which party always!
iavored a tariff for revenue with dis-1
criminating duties protective of
American labor, a liberal system of
public improvements and a sound
national currency.
“The principle that tho Federal |
government shall control such pub
lic improvements has been finally
established. The people of the South
are now in an impoverished condition.
The people of tho Nortli are rich,
and what is needed is such a system
of public improvements as will bene
fit that section of the couutry; such
measures as will impress upon the
Southern people that we are their
friends and brothers; that we intend
to live with them as members of tho
same family and to advance their
interests and prosperity by meaus
of the power which is in our hands.
I think that we can demonstrate our
professions of friendship in no better
way than this.
“I should like to express an
opiuiou as to individuals, but in the
event of the formation of anew party
it would seem to mo that such men
as Hill, Lamar, Hampton and Wat
terson would probably cut loose
from old organizations and coalesce
with a t>arty organized on old Whig
principles. The name of the party is
wholly immaterial. If anew party
were organized or tho Republican
party so reorganized as to reoognize
Whig measures as distinct features
or it, the old Whig members in the
South w.ould fall into the ranks.
“Owing to the prejudices existing
in the South, it might be found nec
essary to have a change of name.
The Whigs of the South are not
Democrats. They never were and
uever will be, and they will go
into anew organization if it carries
in it old Whig principles, or even
into an old organization governed by
these principles. They regard the
old Whig principles as patriotic
desires. I have always said that
when the country became diseased,
it could only be cured by Whig rem
edies, and whenever we have suffered
from misgovernment or mismanage
ment, we have applied to Whig rem
edies for relief.”
Editor of Ihe Nation— On Tuesday
last the Nation published a platform.
I quote the three principles enumer
ated?
1. A national currency founded on
a bimetallic standard and sufficient
for the wants of healthy trade.
2. A system.of internal improve
ments, such as private capital is pow
erless to construct, 1 ut which is es
sential to the development of the
country’s resources.
3. A tariff sufficient to keep em
ployed such manufacturing estab
lishments as are already in opera
tion, such new industries as will tend
to develop the natural wealtli of the
country, and create a balance or
trade iu our favor. Would you be
kind enough to give me your opinion
of it ?
The Secretary—That embraces my
ideas exactly. These principles
ought to bo embraced by the Repub
lican party. I have already express
ed my opinion upon the question of
internal improvements. Regarding
the currency lam in favor of a gold
and silver basis. I think it would
have been better for the interest of
the country if silver had never been
disturbed, aad I regard the act of
its demonetization as one of ill-judged
legislation to say the least. The
power of the government, sheuld be
pledged to furnish a stated aud un
varing currency. There can bo no
controversy about that. Our cur
rency ought to be national, a legal
tender for custom dues and all other
dues, and resting upon a metallic
basis. I think that anew Whig par
ty would command a strong follow
ing in Indiana, but, the Republican
party inspired by Whig principles
would find a stronger.
TAX BAI.ES.
From the RuHsell Register.]
In the Circuit Court last week a case
was tried involving a recovery of lands
sold for delinquent taxes under the Rev
enue law of Alabama passed ut the session
of the Legislature in 1868. The plaintiff
purchased at the Tax Collector’s sale in
April 1872 for delinquent taxes of 1871,
some 1)00 acres of land in the Southern
part of the county. The Collector gave
him a certificate of purchase which he
held until two years had elapsed, when
the Jndge of Probate gave him a deed ail
under the Revenue Jaw of 1868. The
purchaser under the deed demanded pos
session of the former owner which was
refused, and the suit was then brought to
recover possession. About tbe time of
this sale the speculation offered was re
garded by manymoneyed men as inviting,
and a considerable bonanza. Tbe per cen
tum allowed by the law to redeem was
enormous, doubling the purchase money
and allowing an additional ten per Cent
thereon and all cost attending; and should
no redemption be made and a deed should
issue the remedy for the possession of the
lauds was provided lor summarily almost,
and certainly. No investigation could go
behind the deed to examine into the
question as to whether or not the requi- j
sites of the law had been complied with
by theofficet s having any past transaction
relating to the title conveyed by the Pro- |
bate Judge’s deed and tittle. Such was
the law and written in no ambiguous or |
equivocal words. Subsequently cases
have gone up to the Supreme Court fo
the State touching the validity of the
law on the subject, and the Supreme
Court has decided in several cases that
the law is unconstitutional and hence
void in making the deed conclusive
evidence of the performance of those
duties incumbent upon officers manag
ing the whole matter. The Court pro-.
Bounces against provisions of the law say
ing that the deed from the Probate
Judge shall be conclusive evidence that
the property wus assessed at tbe time
and in the manner required by law ;
that the taxes were properly levied ; that
the sale was properly advertised; that
the property was sold for taxes and pur
chased by the grantee ot his assignor;
that the sale was conducted in the man
ner required by law; that all things re
quired law to make a good and valid sale
and to vest the title in the purchaser
had been done. The Supreme Court de
cided that these provisions of tho law
amount to confiscation, and arc clearly
repugnant to tho Constitution in that
they seek to tuko private property lor
public* use, without just compensation,
and tend to deprive citizens of their prop
erty without duo process of law. Sever
al cases have been adjudicated in tho Su
premo Court which substantially estab
lish the same points.
One puncture ordinarily is enough to
burst a balloon, and these cases are de
cisive ot the fact that under them the evi
dence necessary to show a proper ease for
the recovery of pioperty sold under that
law is to be volumnfous, difficult and
hard to make. This is the first case which
has been tried iu the county. The plaint
ill'introduced in evidence the deed of the
Probate Judge, the advertisement tit the
sale, the record of the sale by tho JTax
Collector, tlie assessment book of the
year for which, the taxes were assessed
and then (delinquent. lio then closed,
his case, and upon such data the Court
charged the jury that believing all the
evidence they innst find for the defen
dant.
LEE JACKKON ANII STUART.
TIIE THREE SOUTHERN HEROES—THE
QUALITIES OE TJIK GREAT CONFED
ERATE COMMANDERS.
J. Eaten Cooke in Weekly Timers.}
The death of the iamous cavalryman
produced a deep and painful sensation, in
some degree akin to that produced by the
death ot Jackson. The Southern people
indeed had become accustomed to couple
together the three great names, Lee, Jack
son and Stuart, valuing each for his pecu
liar qualities. No comparison is intended
to be made be! ween these three distin
guished soldiers, but it is interesting to
notice how sharply contrasted they w'erc
in character, and how peculiarly each
was fitted for the sphere in which he
moved and had his special functions. Lee,
the head and front of the 'struggle, was
the born commander-in-chief, fitted for
the conception of great campaigns, ever
wide awake, a man of august dignity by
nature, calm, suave, grave, taking good
and evil fortune with the same imposing
serenity; in person, one of the most
noble and graceful men of his epoch, and
the finest rider in the Southern army; in
character, simple, pure, patient, binding
to himself bothgthe love and respect of
men. Jackson was the infantry leader 1 ,
the “right arm” to execute what Lee con
ceived ; in person not graceful, in man
ner silent, reserved and often abrupt;
cautious in council, hut rapid and terrible
in execution, going to battle with mutter
ed prayer on his lips, leaving all to Provi
dence, hut striking with all the power ol
his arm to do his own part, and in many
ways resembling the Ironsides of Crom
well. Stuart, on the contrary, was the
cavalier, essentially belonging to the class
of men who followed the fortunes ol
Charles I.—ardent, impetuous, brimming
over with tho wine of life and youth,
with the headlong courage of a high spir
ited boy, toud of bright colors, of ripling
flags, of martial music, and the clash ot
sabres—in all tins warp and woof bis char
acter an embodiment of the best traits of
the English cavaliers—not ot their bad
traits. Although his utter carelessness as
to the impression he produced subjected
him to many calumnies, it is here placed
on record by one who knew his private
life thoroughly, and who was with him
day and night for years, that he was iu
morals among the purest of men —a faith
ful husband, absolutely without vices of
any description, and if not demonstrative
in liis religious views, an earnest and ex
emplary Christian, liis love for his wife
was deep and devoted, and on the death
of his little daughter, Flora, he said to
me, with tears in his eyes, “I shall never
get over it.”
Motherless Young Annimals.—
How to mother motherless young
animals—foals, calves, or lambs.
Rub the palm of the hand full of
gin on the nose and moutti of the
dam ; rub a little of the same bottle
along the back of the young animal
to be adopted, place them together,
and the relationship is eomple. The
advantage of this simgle process will
ba complete to those who have to
do with long-wool sheep, where as
is frequently the case, a ewe dies,
leaves a pair of fine lambs, while
probe bly another ewe loses her
lapibs, when exchange of maternal
affection is instantly brought about
by the gin, to the saving and suc
cessful raising of what otherwise
would be two troublesome pets at
best. When a ewe has three lambs,
and another ewe OQe, the disparity
can be effectually reminded in the
same manner.

If any one wishes to grow fleshy, a pint
of milk taken before retiring at night will
soon cover the scrawniest bones. Although
nowadays we see a good many fleshy fe
males, there are many lean and lank ones
who sigh for the fashionable measure of
plumpness, and who would be vastly im
proved in health and appearance could
their figures he rounded with good, solid
flesh. Nothing is more cove;ted by thin
women titan a full figure, and nothing will
rouse the ire and provoke the scandal of
the “clipper builds" as the consciousness
oi plumpness in a rival. In case of lever
and summer complaint, milk is now given
with excellent results. The idea that
milk is “feverish” has exploded, and it is
now the the physician’s great reliance in
bringiDg| through typhoid patients, or
those in 100 low a state to lie nourished
by solid food. It is a mistake to scrimp
the milk pitcher. Take more milk and
tiny less meat. Look to your milkman,
have a large-sized, well-filled milk pitcher
oa the table each meal, and you also will
have sound flesh and save doctors’ bills.
Tlie Foe—They Come, They Comet
Brethren of the press: A great Euro
pean war is impending. The fighting, if
it happens, will 4 he in a country bristling
with eccentric geographicaln omen
clature. Let the patient telegraph
editor, therefore, be provided with
a good map of the Levant,
and when the cable blunders and warps
the names of towns and rivers so that
there are no consonants left in them, and
even the proof-reader cannot prononnee
them, then let the cablegram be set right
by superior intelligence at this end of the
line. During the Franco-Prussia n war
the geographical names in Northern
France were so mutilated that a person
reading halt a dozen newspapers of the
same date would get the impression that
there had been six battles where there
had been really but one. There were,
fur instance, nine distinct ways of spell
ing Saarhruck, where the Prince Impe
rial received the baptism of fire. The
world baa advanced since then, and re

Politeness. —Many a man raised from
poverty and obscurity to wealth and hon
or can trace his rise to'civility; it is sure to
reproduce itself in others and he who is
always polite will be sure to get at least
as much as he gives. We believe it was
Macaulay who defined politeness to tie
benevolence in small things. The French,
who are nothing unleas satirical, declare
politeness to be the zero of friendship’s
thermometer.
SPECIAL CIRCULAR.
To Tax Receivers of Muscogee 6a.:
+.
rfUIE following Sections of the Code.to be found
A ou pages 20 and 21 of your Pamphlet of In
structions, are so very important that I give them
in this special form tor your careful attention.
I will expect every Tax Receiver to do what the
law and his oath requires, aud see that every tax
payei returns his or her property at Us true
value; not what said property would bring at
public outcry, but what the property is worth.
It has been estimated that the property of
Georgia is not returned at one-half its true value.
This is wrong and should not be allowed. The
honest men pay nearly all the tax and many pay
but little because they return but little of what
they have. Many men return only about one
fourth or one-fifth of what they own. Make all
return their properly at its tbuk value and
then the burden of TAXATION will fall on all
equally.
FROM THE CODE OF GEORGIA.
8839- (835.) In case of'alse return. Tad Receiver
to assess valise. Each return u.l! be acruti
nized carefully by the Tax Receiver, and If in bla
judgment he shall find the property embraced in
the return, or any portion of it, returned below
Re value, he uhall aeaeaa the value at once, or
within thirty days thereafter.
8840. (836.) Subsequent proceedings. Ifauchas
eeeeuient ie not mad. by tue Receiver iuetauter,
he shall give the tax payer notice of hie asse.s
meut, aud in either case it shall be the tax pay
er’s privilege to have it left to three disinteres
ted person,, one of whom he shall select, the
other shall be selected by the Receiver laud thtae
two shall select a third; It they disagree, a major
ity of whom shall lix the aesesement.
8841. (837.) Property returned below its value.
It ie the privilege of any tax payer of the comnty
where a return ie made to complain to the Re
ceiver at any time before the Digest is completed
that any return ie below the true value of the
property; In which case he shall notify tbe person
who made the return complained of. if practica
bly, verbally ir by writing, giving him the name
of complainant aud the ground of complaint, and
a hall proceed to have anew aaeeeemeut lu the
terms of the preceding section.
9842. (338.) Oath of assesort. Whenever such
uaeeaaora are called in, they shall take an oath
before the Receiver to do justice between the
parties at variance, touching the true aase,ament
of the tax return.
9843. (839.) Defaulting tax payer, how relieved.
When a tax payer has been returned as a default
er and double taxed, either by the Receiver or
Collector, the Ordinary la authorized to relieve
the defaulter of the penalty for default at the time
aaid Ordinary allows the Collector his insolvent
lists: Provided, That eaid tax payer ahowß to
Mich Ordinary by aatlaiactory evidence, that
either providential or other good cause be bad
not an opportunity to make hla return to the Re
ceiver of tax returns, aud at the time ot such re
lease promptly paye lile proper tax, and one dol
lar to the collector aa hi, fee, the Collector shall
promptly Inform the Comptroller General of each
release, and the amount ot taxes paid.
9844. (840.) Defaulters, how relieved from double
tax. All defaulters may at any time, and far the
same causes, before the Digest ie made up and
ready to be sent to the Comptroller, save the
double tsxby likewise giving in to the Ordinary,
and paying him one dollar, who shall give a copy
of euch returns fnstanter to the Receiver,aud he
shall enter it in the several Digests,
9345. (841.) Defaulter’! Oath. The Ordinary,
in the cases Bet forth in sections 843 aud 844,
shall require the tax payer to swear to the cause
of bis delay, and shall state the same in the cop
ies fnrnißhod the eimptroller or Receiver.
Hoping and believing you will do your flill
duty iu this important matter,
1 am yours respectfully,
W.L. GOLDSMITH,
Comptroller General.
