Some of tlie San Francisco Chinamen
hava UkeD anew departure, A society
known aa the "Associated Independent
Chinamen" has been formed, distinct
from the si* companies, the members of
which will adopt American dress and
customs, study our politics and theology
and become permanent citizens.
The Monroe Advertiser notices a
cotton-picking machine, the Inven
tion of a North Carolinian, which It
is claimed la “destined to play as Im
portant a part and make as much
impression as the cotton gin. ” It says
that it is a wagon-like machine
which is driven through tbo ripened
fields and picks clean every scrap of
ootton and saves tbo labor of one
hundred hands—that Is, If It comes
upto promises, which the Advertiser la
evidently disposed to doubt.
Wk are glad to learn from the
Southern Watchman that the Athens
Manufacturing Company are now
engaged In remodeling their upper
factory, known as the “Confederate
Armory,” by the introduction of new
machinery, &c., and expect soon to
commenoe the manufacture of a
much higher grade of goods than
they have ever made heretofore, and
superior to any made in that section
of country. This evidences that there
Is profit and encouragement in the
business, even in these dull times,
and that cotton manufacturing at the
South can successfully compete with
rivalry elsewhere under any condi
tions.
The Macon Telegraph says that at
noon Tuesday last the Bth Inst., expired
the last of the scries of patents upon the
essential portions of the sewing machine,
which have enable.! the owncra to exact
royalty from all manufacturers. From
now on anybody can make a machine
without Jet or hindrance, and we shall
see prices tumble. Hereafter we can buy
machines as cheap as they Sre sold in
England. The patent which expired
Tuesday is for the needle plate, an essen
tial in every machine. We extend our
congratulations to the great army of
workers who have been forced by this
patentjt© pay such heavy tribute to those
who owned it.
We think that Germany has taught
the other powers of Europe a lesson
in war by her late signally successful
conflicts with Austria and France.
It is to be thoroughly prepared before
commencing hostilities, and then to
make no pause or break In pushing
the war to its conclusion, giving the
enemy no time for preparation or
reinforoement. The iudioations are
that Russia will try this game against
Turkey, and Its success or failure
will depend upon the thorough readi
ness of Turkey to meet her. If Tur
key has yet to organize her resources,
her chance is a slim one.
If the Confederate States had adop
ted this plain, might not tho result
of our oivil conflict have been very
different from what it was ?
If it be true, as reported by tele
graph, that the left wing of the Rus
sian army made an attempt to ad
vance from Boyazid ("near Mt. Ararat)
to Lake Van, this signifies an effort
to reach the Persian Gulf by the
route through Armenia and Mesopo
tamia, of which we spoke the other
day. Armenia is a populous and
fertile state, and though under
Turkish government, its papulation
is mostly Christian. It is therefore
a reasonable supposition that the
Russian army would find material
aid and comfort in that region, par
ticularly if the Sultan unfurls the
“Banner of the Prophet” and makes
the war a religious one. We think
that a continued Russian advance in
that direction will raise the war feel
ing in England to fever heat.
A Lett m from Columbia to the
Charlestoa Journal of Commerce
charges, with particularity of detail,
thatChamberiain and Mackey formed
a conspiracy and plot, last winter, for
the murder ot the Democratic mem
ber* of the Legislature of South Caro
lina. It says that Chamberlain bad
a constabulary force of 150 well
armed men secreted in the room of
Ways and ife&ns Committee, and
this force was to do the bloody work
when the Detfiooratic members re
fused to leave the Representative
Rail on the command of the Radical
officials; but that the plot was frus
trated by the Democrats withdraw
ing. We hops tha* this charge is not
true, but we have had exhibitions of
carpet-bag deviltry in the' South
about equal to R in atrocity.

The conventhwr of the Fifth Sena
torial District, composed of the
counties of PKaeh, Coffee and Ware,
got into a snarl about the nomina
tion ot candidates for thp Constitu
tional Convention, and a split may
be the result. After adopting the
two-thirds rule, the Convention bal
loted a number of times without
making a choice, each ballot stand
ing -for W. A, McDonald of Ware
and J. M. Spaaee of Coffee, 20 each ;
and for Dr. Lott f Coffee and J. L.
Sweat of Clincti, 16 each. Near the
time for the night passenger train to
arrive, the delegates from Clinch
stated that they'were compelled to
leave for home, and moved an ad
journment, which was defeated. The
Clinch delegate^then withdrew and
took the train, after which the twen
ty Meads of Mcffonald and Spence
nominated them,
The CincinnatfGaLeßt: has the follow
ing special dispatch from Washington : i
“The present holder of the Mulligan let
ter* arrived from Maine this morning.”
THE FIIiHT I* THE ItEPt m.H'AM
PARTY.
It Is not disguised that the Admin
istration at Washington expects a
bitter war by some of the Republican
leaders upon its “Southern policy’’
when Congress meets, and that Pres
ident Hayes favored the postpone
ment of the extra session, and is de
laying appointments, with a view of
strengthlng his position. We see no
indications of an intention to yield
to the extremists, though attempts
may be made to pacify them by offi
cial patronage. If the President takes
a calm view of the situation, ho must
be convinced that there Is no danger
of the disapproval of his policy
by either branch of Congress.
For everyj ultra Radical who
may condemn his course in
withdrawing the troops from the
Southern capitals, at least two South
ern Democrats will be found to stand
by him—in fact all Southern Demo
crats will. Ana they will not permit
their Northern allies, in the mere
spirit of faction, to refuse to sustain
the President in his rightful and
cons titutional acts—his acts of simple
justice to the States and people of
the South. The Southern branch is
a power in the national Democratic
party—it is the ohlef reliance of that
party for success. An 4 it will use
its power to bring up the whole party
to the support of principle in opposi
tion to faction. There is no doubt of
that.
So in reference to appointments.
The Republicans can never muster
a majority in the Senate to reject bis
nominations out of revenge for his
course towards Louisiana and South
Carolina. He has only to nominate
capable and honest men, without re
gard to party, and if the Republicans
do not confirm them, the Democrats
will. We believe that there is much
more likelihood of the defeat of unfit
or obnoxious nominations which he
may make with a view of pacifying
the Blaine and Wade faction, than of
good nominations made in deference
to Democratic sontiment.
Mr. Hayes has the advantage
ground in a conflict with the ultras
of his own party, and ho ought to
be assured of it. Wherein he has
displeased them he has dona right,
and has thereby gratified u Demo
cratic representation far stronger
than the Republican “sore heads.”
We believe that If the extra session
were held at once, the President
would have no difficulty about either
his measures or his proper nomina
tions, and that whenever it is held he
will find that he has lost nothing by
dolog what was right in defiance of
the clamors of party.
OLD TIME iiKttKUU POLITICIANS,
HONE UP IN VERNE.
A friend who has preserved it, fur
nishes us with the following dog
gerel, written on the eve of the elec
tion in 1824 between Troup and
Clark, by Wra. H. Sparks, Esq., now
of Louisiana. The names are those
of Georgia politicians of that day :
Hurrah lor Troup I
Each nincompoop.
Who scarce deserves his name;
Is up to-day, In bold array.
To blight hla honest fame.
There's Clinton Lane,
That aon of Cain,
Cloae picking at hla bonea.
There’s Jack and Nick,
And limping Dick,
And even Matthew Jonea
The Yankee class are grouped in mass,
To see what they could da.
Tba Rockwells all, with Harvey Hall,
And stuttering Goddard too.
Old Napter’a clan are to a man
All ready for the light,
The two Bledsoes, and Major Rose,
Aud bit-lip Jimmy Wright.
The Duncsns both have sallied forth,
And also have the Clarks;
They vote, ’tie true, but very few—
Among tbase few 1s Sparks.
Old Betb and aon will do for one
Just tolerable man; and by the by.
Old Jesaie Pye la dol ng all he can.
We'll give them Pye, for truly I
Can't seo how we are worsted,
For while they share their choicest fore.
We Troopers claim our custard.
Hurrah boys! We’ll sharo our joys
And crosses while we tease you,
But we'll agree that yon and us
May vote just as it please you.
HOW SHALL DELEGATES BE NOMI
NATED?
Editor Times: Two articles ap
peared yesterday morning—one in
your paper signed John Hancock, one
in tho Enquirer-Sun signed Units
Populis— both suggesting a method
of making nominations for delegates
to the Convention. By a singular (?)
coincidence, the views of the tivo
writers in different journals are iden
tical. We are against all nornina
tlons—think if the Convention is de
feated it will be directly traceable to
nominations in the various districts
of the State. If, however, a nomina
tion is made in our district, let it be
in some manner that will exhibit the
full sense and wish of the people.
Suppose, for instance, the plan pro
posed is adopted, and twenty dele
gates by mass meeting are selected
here—ten each in Chattahoochee and
Marion. Now suppose further that
six gentlemen or eight should be
candidates from this county. Sup
pose 1500 voters are favorable to three
or four of them, and 500 voters to the
other three or four. How can the
majority know the twenty delegates
will represent their wishes? Why
can’t twenty delegates be packed in
the interest of the weaker men?
If we have a nomination, let it be
a primary ballot, either in the par
ticular county or all over the district,
as the people Of the three counties in
tuasa meeting at tneir respective
county-seats shall determine. Let
every man who desires a seat in the
Convention allow the people a straight
shoot at him. It the names of the
candidates be voted for all over the
counties by primary election, as this
matter has been done elsewhere,
and then let ail who go into the
arrangement abide the issue,
i Fair Play.
TOE PROMISE OP REFOMM.
Editor of Times: The time has
arrived for a higher order of politioe
than we have been familiar with for
the last ten or fifteen years. Free
dom, independence, is not bounded
by local lines, nor confined in its
God-given benefits to States or indi
viduals, but intended as a boon for
his creatures.
Fidelity to duty is praiseworthy in
all men. and at the same time it is
considered politically honorable to
reward one’s party friends, for it is
the hope of reward that sweetens
labor and stimulates to efficient ex
ertloD, and binds friends together in
bonds of mutual interest. He, who
ever flings his all upon one cast of
the dice, should not be censured if
he is ever unable to favor many who
may have done much to advance his
claims to favor; for we are glad to
say that many of the dearest friend
ships of life lay no claim to reward,
for to love aud labor for a principle
embodied in the bosom of a friend
carries with it a reward of much
more glorious character than can be
bestowed by man.
Mr. Hayes hus certainly thus far
merited the praise of his enemies.
He has rewarded those who opposed
him ; he has done nothing to prevent,
but all ho has done has resulted in
securing, the very political condition
at the South we hoped to get from
the administration of Mr. Tilden.
Sectionalism has been dwarfed—its
source of life has been taken away.
No longer Federal power threatens,
but State sovereignty reigns. The
offspring of the States—the child of
Patriotism—is now returning to his
father’s house, and asks that be may
be made a steward in securing con
formity to the old family regime and
assist in planting once more the stan
dard of Union and State sovereignty.
We were born a Whig. Harry of
the West was our pet ideal of natienal
glory, and we went on to our majority
without a sectional sentiment; but
felt that the reading of the Declara
tion of Independence and the Fourth
of July were next to the reading of
the Scriptures and the birth of
Jesus.
A long, dark, impenetrable gloom
came over the pathway. Human
freedom and liberty seemed to be
passing under un iron cloud, suc
ceeded by a political policy that,
Pharaoh-like, would have wrecked a
continent had it not been for the
many hearts like Hampton and Gor
don—that did not feel that I, only I,
am left, but that u whole nation was
to be resuscitated to liberty and to
carry with it to posterity a renown
more glorious than ever crowned a
warrior’s head in bloody conflict.
To live in an age and boa party in
the accomplishment of such an ad
vance in political progress from our
recent condition, is glory enough for
one administration, aud has in it a
promise that must give to Mr. Hayes
a high place in his country’s history.
Georgians, let us return to the
landmarks of our fathers; make a
Constitution of our own, reduce
expenses, pay debts, protect mothers,
and save a home for the fatherless,
and educate the indigent, and the
novv rising sun of prosperity shall
break in unclouded splendor once
more upon the smiling and happy
faces of the sons and daughters of
one of the old thirteen.
Chattahoochee.
Anxiety ill the AdnilulHtratlon about
Ohio.
Special to tba Cincinnati Enquirer, j
The evidences here are that the Admin
istration is extremely solicitous that Ohio
shall not be lost to the Republican party
at the fall election. If it should go Demo
cratic, Hayes is well aware that those in
his own party who doubt tho wisdom oi
his Southern policy would refer to it as
one of the best indications that he had
made a mistake and was repudiated in
his own State. It is to avert just this con
tingency that the Administration is will
ing to do almost anything in its power to
contribute to tho success of the Republi
cans. If, as tlie canvass develops, Hayes
becomes convinced that the contest is
close enough to jeopardize the success of
tlie Republican pary, the whole effort of
the party will be directed under sugges
tions from thu White House to save the
Legislature. It is believed that Hayes
doubts very seriously the ability of the
party to save the Slate ticket, but the
hope is that by injecting local issues the
Legislature can lie saved, and this he
would consider as at least an offset if the
Democrats curried the Stale ticket. The
Ohio campaign, as it progresses, will be
watched jealouely by the usurper, and he
will do what he can to contribute to a
Republican victory.
An Eiikllnli Theory ot the War.
I hear from an excellent source that if
the Russian armies cross tlie Danube they
will establish themselves in Bulgaria, and,
instead of crossing the Balkan range or
advancing upon Constantinople, they will
endeavor to effect a junction with the
Montenegrin forces. Thus tho Turks
will be entirely cut off from Bosnia In
Asia a Russian army will co-operate with
Persia. Peace will then be proposed upon
the basis of Bulgaria being annexed Vo
Roumania, in consideration of which
Moldavia will be ceded to Russia. The
Prince of Montenegro will receive a con
siderable accession of territory, and Bos
nia will be offered to Austria. In Asia
the Persians will obtain a rectification of
frontier at the expense of Turkey. England
will be informed that, if she chooses to
replace Turkey as the suzerain of Egypt,
the Contenent and powers will make no op
position. This scheme of pacification finds
considerable favor with German states
men. It is considered that it can hardly
be expected that if Russia wages an ex
pensive and successful war, into which
Turkey has rushed in defiance of the
warnings of Europe, the result will not
be, as iu the case of the Franco-German
war, an accession of territory. With aa
autonomous state, ruled over by a Ger
man prince, covering both banks ot the
Danube, the free navigation of this river,
which is the princip il German interest in
the East, will be fully secured. —London
Truth, April 21.
The Grasshopper Discomfited.
Washington, May 6. —Senator Pad
dock, of Nebraska, has advices that the
freezing weather in the West and North
west of the past ten days has destroyed
the grasshoppers that appeared two weeks
ago, and that the return of others is not
expected. The weather has not damaged
the crops, which promise to be unusually
large. Congress at its last session passed
an act authorizing pre-emption settlers on
the public lands whose crop may be des
troyed this year or next by the grasshop
pers to absent themselves without for
feiting any right or title to the land.
For the Time*.)
CLAM LEOIILATION.
Tbo assertion made in the Enquirer-
Sun, that some merchants of the
olty had bean guilty of making fraud
ulent returns of sales, suggests some
thoughts in relation to the taxes
levied on merchants. Without calling
in questioo the truth or falsity of
that assertion, we simply wish todwell
on the various features of taxation
levied on the merchants, and to call
their especial atteutiou to them in
oontrast to that levied on other mem
bers of the community; and us mer
chants shall consider warehousemen
and bankers.
There is no question but that mer
chants are of prime necessity in
every city; without them, reul estate
would be valueless, railroads would
languish, and enterprises of great
pith and moment would go awry.
And yet it is ut this class that State
and municipal legislators level their
heaviest tax batteries, excluding
those businesses that are merely tol
erated. In the first pluco, there is
the regular State and County tax,
and the last Legislature levied un ad
ditional tax of twenty-five dollars
special on grocery merchants who
deal in liquor, which practically is a
tax on all of them. Then comes the
city tax—first, the tax on their goods,
wares and merchandise; second, a
heavy specific tax for tho privilege of
doing business in the incorporation ;
third, a tax of iof one per cent, on
all sales, good, bad and indifferent.
To all these the patient merchant
has come up smiling, slightly dis
figured, but still in the ring.
In addition to all these burdens, be
is subjected to further taxation which
Is twisted out of him by moral force,
somewhat as follows: When a coun
try church or school house needs
building, the committee feel it in
cumbent on them to drop in oa the
merchant who is popular in their
community, and beg a contribution.
He generally comes up smiling,
sometimes from natural generosity,
sometimes lest ho may lose his popu
larity. All this is a tax on liis busi
ness. Again, whenever a committee
of ladies for a charitable object, or a
committee of gentlemen for the fur
therance of some project for the ben
efit of the community generally,
start on their rounds, the very first,
middle and last people they ordina
rily levy on are the merchants. This
is not extraordinary, nor is there any
intention to make one class of peo
ple bear all the burden. Tho reason
of it is that they would not feel com
pensated for tti3 trouble of hunting
up the lawyers,doctors,capitalists, etc.
but it is easy to walk from one end of
the business part of the town to the
other, and drop in on the merchants.
Ido not pretend to say that the
classes mentioned are not as gener
ous as their fellow-citizens, but they
are not as “comeatibie.”
Now on tho other htrad, we have
in our community quite a number of
real estate owners, who go about at
the end of every month collecting
rents. They pay State, County gind
Municipal tax like the merchant,
but not one farthing on their in
comes. Aud if the merchant is
taxed on his sales, whieh is his in
come aud far more than his income,
why should not the man that walks
about the street with his oflieein his
hat and loans money atlj. 2 and 3 per
eent. a month, and the man that col
lects rents, and the doctor that cures,
and the lawyer that gets us out of
trouble, and everybody that gets an
income, pay their shares of these
onerous taxes? Can anybody see
why a man that sells his little four
or five thousand dollars worth of
groceries a year, and has a large
family to take care of out of that,
and pays his State rent, should be
taxed on that sale, and the man who,
sells to him the use of his store for
twelve months should be exempt? I
don’t think the merchants, at any
rate, can see it.
Let, the merchants of Columbus
wake up to their interests and their
rights in this matter. If Ais taxed,
let B be also, and then it falls only
half as heavy on A. Let the mer
chants see the injustice that they are
groaning under, and knowing as they
well do that they are the most pow
erful and influential class in the
community, they are easily able by a
strong, active combination to so reg
ulate city legislation as to free them
selves from this unequal and unjust
burden. H.
