Tbe reader should bear In mind
that all our accounts of lighting in
Asia first came from Turkish sources.
This may help to acoount for the in
consistency of reports of repeated
Russian defeats there and of their
continued advances.
We dlreot attention to an artiole
headed ‘‘lmportant and Valuable
Discovery, which we copy from the
New Orleans Democrat.” It is indeed
important and valuable to everybody,
if it possesses the virtues claimed for
it.
The Augusta Chronicle learns from
a gentleman who arrived from
Waynesboro on Tuesday that it was
the general impression that about
seventeen persons would bo indicted
for riot in connection with the lynch
ing of the negro murderer,Ed Welsh,
on the 20th of last March.

The Monroe Advertiser reports the
cotton acreage in that county the
same as last year, and tbe proportion
about 100 acres of cotton to 68 of corn.
There arc 2<> per cent, more hogs
than last year. Peach and pear crops
are average, and the apple crop 20
per cent, below an average.
The simulators in produce have
an opportunity to “corner” on
another Important article of food.
Dispatches received in Ban Pranols
co from Canton say that tho first
rice crop in China is a complete fail
ure, on account of overflows. The
price in Han Francisco thereupon
advanced.

“Buell” telegraphs from Washing
ton to the New Orleans Democrat,
that General Thomas is the prime
mover of the proposed Mexican ex
pedition, and that tbe recent stum
pede of Lerdo from the movement
does not affect its prospects, though
it necessitates some additional un
derstanding between Thomas and
our Government. . -

Juno, is full of reading that will ea
tertain and instruct the young, Tor
whom this publication is especially
designed. It has many good illus
trations, also diagrams of tho con

will not only inform the young, but

Gen. Ewing, of Ohio, pithily ex
presses the demand of many thou
sands who will be found a power in
the land, in the words, “greenbacks
preserved and silver restored.” The
Administration will find, when Con
gress meets, that an adherence to
Secretary Sherman’s financial pluns
will subject it to a hotter warfare
than any that can bo made on its
“Southern policy.”
--
The New York Tribune thinks it
high praise of President Hayeß t hat
"he has dealt with the Southern
question as if he did not know by
which party he was elected.” We
do not complain of Hayes’ dealing
with the Southern question. But the
truth is that he does not kuow by
which party he was elected. He was
not elected by any party, but by a
mixed commission empowered by
Congress to make the election with
out regard to the vote of the people.
The Convention of the 35th Senato
rial district met in Atlanta on Wed
nesday, and ratified the nominations
of the Fulton delegation mentioned
by us yesterday ; also tho nomina
tions or Geo. Roberts aud A. 0. Mc-
Intosh, Esqs., for Cobb county, and
Col. J. T. Spence for Clayton county.
For delegate at large for the district,
Col. J. W. Robertson was nominated.
The Constitution says it is believed
that a ticket or out-and-out auti-
Convention men will be brought out
In tho district.
A bunch of wheat of unusual height
and early maturity was left in our
office yesterday. Tho stalks meas
ure nearly six feet iu height. The
beads are not extra large, but we ure
told that they would be heavier if
the wheat was not so thick. This
bunch is from tbe farm of Mr. Blaok
man Dickson, of Mountain Creek,
Harris county. He has a field of ton
acres, which it is supposed will yield
thirty bushels to the acre. There is
no sign of rust in it, and it is very
nearly ready for the cradle. That
little field of wheat will alono make
a profitable year’s cropping if the
present prioe of Hour is maintained a
lew weeks longer; and it is not all of
Mr. Dickson’s wheat crop.

As there seems to have been some
misunderstanding as to who deliver
ed the Memorial address at Selma,
Ala., on Decoration day, we will state
that there were fteo addresses there
this year, as usual. A portion of that
city is called East Selma, and it has
a cemetery in which Confederate sol
diers are buried. Another portion is
called West Selma, and it too has a
cemetery containing tho graves of
Confederate soldiers. The ladies
decorate tho graves and select ora
tors for these two cemeteries, on dif
ferent days. The heading to the ad
dress of Col. S. S. Scott, which we
copied the other day, showed that it
was delivered at the West Selma
cemetery, on the 26th of April. The
address at the East Selma cemetery
was delivered by T. W. Clarke, Esq.,
a talented young gentleman of Sel
ma ; and we believe that the day of
its delivery was the 28th ult. We
hope that thi9 mat ter Is now under
stood.
party PHo*rKirr*.
After all tho many reports about a
j break in the ranks of the Democratic
Congressmen, or their leaders out
side of Congress, those who circulate
such reports arc able to )>oint their
fingers to only ono man and say
imsitively that he is intriguing with
the Republicans for the defeat of the
Democratic party. That man is
Gen. J. M. Leach, late a Democratic
Congressman from North Carolina.
He is said to be in favor of organizing
an independent movement in that
State to defeat tho Democracy, but
he has not openly avowed it as yet.
This is a very poor showing for the
disbandment of tho Democratic
parly, or for the re-organization of tbe
Whig party by its withdrawal from
its present Democratic association.
It wouldbe very unnatural for a
party to disband, or to lose any of Its
adherents, because Its political oppo
nents had been forced to adopt a part
of its policy, and that part tho one
which most distinctly drew tho lino
between it and Its adversary. Mon
who have struggled through difficul
ty aud adversity for an object and
have attained it after many years of
disappointment and defeat, are not
apt to desert their party in the hour
of its partial triumph.
But with tho Republican party the
case is quite different. What com
mon principle or object did it have to
hold it together except the govern
ment of tho South by military domi
nation ? None whatever. Its voters
are split upon tho currency or
financial policy of the Government,
upon the tariff, upon taxation and
internal improvements. It is now
split upon tho "Southern policy,”
and every reflecting man must see
that it can never again unite in sup
port of such measures as Grant resor
ted to, or in reconciling the country
to them even if it could unite in sup
port ot them. It is in a minority on
that question—in a minority in both
tho great divisions of the Union ; and
its policy is daily becoming more and
unpopular as as tho passions of the
war subside, because it is violative of
of great principles of the constitu
tion.
The Republican party must seek
another common sentiment or object
to hold its followers together; and
what can it be? When it brings its
next pet measure to the front, if it is
antagonistic to the sound constitu
tional ground taken by the Demo
cratic party, it will be found a meas
ure of weakness instead of strength.
It has now to shift its position—to
abandon one stronghold and seek
another—and this is a crisis for any
party. The Democrats have only to
maintain their ground; tho Repub
licans must move from a position
found to be no longer tenable. This
fact is what assures Democratic suc
cess if tho party will only act wisely
and with a view to the triumph of
principles and measures, instead of
men and sections. That it will do
this, we see no reason whatever to
doubt.
A Meeting of citizens held in Fort
Valley on Tuesday repudiated the
action of the Senatorial district Con
vention, so far as the action of the
delegates from Houston county was
concerned. Tho meoting declared
that said delegates were appointed
by tho Democratic Executive Com
mittee and not by the people, and
that acquiescence in their action
would defeat the Convention in
Houston county. A meeting of citi
zens was called to be bold at Perry
on the 30th inst., to nominate candi
dates for theConvcntion for Houston
county.

Louisville, May 21,1877.
Editor Columbus Times: Thinking
that some ot your readers would like
to hear what is going on in Louis
ville, I thought I would drop you a
few lines. Every one is on the look
out and talking about the co ming
races, tho chances of Tenßroeck
against time; and a great deal of dis
appointment is expressed that Aris
tides is not able to run against him.
It is generally believed that Aris
tides would have beaten him easily
in both tho races for which they were
“booked.”
I had the pleasure of visiting the
raco course yesterday evening, in
company with Mr. Clarke, President
of tho Louisville Jockey Club, and
there saw some of the finest horses
in tho world ; among them I noticed
Harper’s Ton Broeck, McGrath’s
Lonard, Chesapeake, Calvin,Buford’s
McWhirter and other celebrities too
numerous to name.
It is whispered by the knowing
ones that a special race of two miles
and a half, SIO,OOO aside, has been
concluded between Harper and Mc-
Grath, to take place over the Louis
ville course during tho fall meeting.
I am not in a position to say whether
it is true or not. but it is believed to
be so on tho streets and among horse
men.
There is t o be a Mot her Goose fes
tival soon for the boneflt of the Bap
tist church, iu which will appear
some of the finest actresses in the U.
S. Among them will be Mrs. Ma
cauly, Miss Anderson and Lotta tak
ing the leading characters in Mother
Goose.
If you wish it, I will write you an
other tetter.giving your readers a full
account of the raoes and any other
news I can pick up.

Alexander of Russia has been lav
ishly eulogized for freeing the serfs.
But Aleskseeyeff, a Muscovite peas*
ant, puts the matter in another light
when he says: “We were given a
little land that was of no use to us.
Evidently if we are obliged to ask for
a rise of wages we are punished bv
banishment to Siberia.
The Standard says that “the Con
vention movement in Talbot is rapid
ly gaining ground, and many express
a complete revolution in their senti
ments.”
InilMirlant and Valuable Ultiroverjr.
A learned and practical physician,
l)r. J, W. Davenport, of Dallas,
Texas, has made a discovery and ob
tained the patent therefor, which
promises to be of incalculable value
and usefulness to the present and fu
ture generations. It is simply the
ascertainment of the chemical com
ponents of a fluid for keeping all
kinds of fruits, vegetables aud meats
fresh, sweet and pure. The aim of
the ingenious chemist has been to
discover the ingredients of a pickle
which would arrest the process of de
composition and extinguish the germ
of decay of all animal and vegetable
substances without imimiring their
flavor or imparting to them any inju
rious effeot. It is simply a pickle
of the most Inexpensive sort, costing
infinitely less tbun brine or vinegar,
in which any meat or vegetable uiuy
be kept in open vessels, submerged
for months, uud when taken out will
bo found as pure und fresh as when
tho vegetables oame from the garden
or tho meat from the butcher s stall
This pickle may be furnished and
prepured at a cost of four, cents per
barrel. The pickle is so nearly taste
less aud palatable as to demonstrate
its inuocuousuess, und yet from the
specimen wo saw yesterday at 61
Carondalot street green corn which
had been immersed iu it for twelve
months, when boiled, could not be
distinguished from the corn which
had been gathered that morning.
Mutton and pork chops, and even
fat papabottes, placed in this pickle
weeks ago, when subjected to heat,
had preserved all their
originul freshness and flavor.
No one would ever sus
pect that they had ever
been brought in contact with any
chemical fluid or substance. It
would appeur that this fluid is far
more effective and reliable in pre
serving vegetables and meats iu
their original freshness than the
strong brine used in preserving salt
meats. This fact being established,
the superiority, both for nourish
ment and health, of fresh over salt
meats would secure it universal adop
tion and proved invaluable foruse on
ships, in armies and on plantations.
Tho simple antiscorbutic effects ol
such a preservation of fresh meal
and vegetables would render it of
incalculable benefit.
Col. Isaac Hariisou, formerly a
wealthy planter of Tensas, iu this
Slate, and a distinguished Brigadier
General of tho Confederate service,
Ims purchased the patent of this vul
uable fluid, which is styled Daven
port’s Balm, for the State of Missis
sippi. Col. Harrison will make hit
headquarters at Jackson, iu tha
State. —JY. O. Democrat 23 d.

keuioval of secretary Blierman.
It is with regret that we are forced
to relinquish all hope of a betlet
financial condition resulting from
the policy of trie present Secretary.
Secretary Sherman carried into tiis
present position the highest order oi
executive ability, aud in all that con
cerns the management of his depart
ment—its efficiency, economy and
houestly—he has brought about great
reforms.
Did the duties of the Secretary of
the Treasury slop with the collection
and expenditures of the nation’s
revenues there could bo no com
plaint. But unfortunately Mr. Sher
man carried with him into the
Treasury a set of ideas in relation to
the public finances which have al
ready been most disastrous, and
which must eventually, if carried
into execution, bankrupt the entire
country.
The condition of business is too
precarious to admit of further trilling.
During tiie past year under tbe ac
tion of Mr. Sherman’s ideas the num
ber of bankruptcies was greater than
in any other year since the forma
tion of tho Government. All classes
and conditions of people went by tbe
board ; aud instead of getting better
tho trouble is hourly increasing. It
Is evident that the Secretuay is too
firmly founded in his opinions ever
to change, even when, as in the case
of the remonetizatiou of silver, he
stands almost alone, iu opposition
to a nearly unanimous public senti
ment.
He is too sincere a man to yield
when unconvinced, and with that
firm, iron will for which his family
are noted, he proposes going ahead
with his financial scheme, even
though the heavens fall.
The time has arrived when Presi
dent Hayes must recognize that the
financial condition of the country is
Lite great question with which his
administration will have to deal. He
must recognize further that the pres
eat Secretary of the Treasury totally
misrepresents the popular will.
There is no other hope for a return
to prosperity through the careful
management, of the Government.
Secretary Sherman must be request
ed to resign, and his portfolio given
to some ono with very different ideas
upon finance.
There is not a position under Gov
ernment which Mr. Sherman would
not fill with benefit to his country,
except the one he now holdß. But this
one he must not continue to hold.
Tito President may not see the neces
sity for such a bourse now, but sooner
or later Secretary Sherman will have
to be requested to retire.

carried and he be elected, he will do
all in his power to make the Conven

of the oppressive taxation. He will
oppose all changes of the law except
where it is absolutely necessary.

Tho subjoined bill has passed both
branches of t,he Illinois Legislature,
and will probably bo signed by the
Governor:
He if enacted by (hr People of the Stale
of Illinois, represented in (he (Jeneral As
sembly, That from and alter tho date ol
tbs passage of this act, all silver coins,
the standard value of which has been
llxml and declared by the Ouugrnss of the
l) lilted (States, shall be a legal tender, at
suoli values, for the payment of all debts,
both public and private, which are paya
ble or collectable within the State of Illi
nois, and which are not made by the terms
of the contract which created them ex
pressly Iu other kind, of cola.
It will be observed the bill careful
ly avoids a conflict with those pro
visions of the Constitution of the
United States which forbid individ
ual Slates to make anything but gold
and silver Coin a tender in payment
of debts, or to enaot laws imimiring
the obligations of contracts. It is
limited in its operation to the State
of Illinois; it mentions only silver
coin, at the value fixed by Congress,
and it does not apply to contracts ex
pressly requiring another mode of
payment. It is true that, by Uulted
States law, the only silver coins now
in circulation,which are the fractions
of a dollar, are not a legal tender for
debts to an amount exceeding five
dollars; but this does not prevent a
State from enlarging the limit.
Should tho bill take effect, therefore,
we see no impediment to enforcing it,
noruny moans of preventing Illiuois
debtors from paying their debts,
within the State boundaries, in frac
tional silver currency at its nominal
value.
The financial consequences of the
law will not, Uowover, be us impor
tant as either its friends or its ene
mies expect them to be. It is true,
that iu a dollar’s worth of fractional
silver there are but 386 grains of
standard silver, nine-tenths fine, or
347 grains of pure silver, worth, at its
present price, eighty oents in gold or
eighty-six cents in greenbacks.
Heuce it would seem that Lite Illiuois
debtor, by paying his debts in this
kiud ot money will save, as compar
ed with gold, twenty per cent., und,
as compared with greenbacks, four
teen per cent, of their antouut. Iu
practice, however, he will save little
or uolhiug. The Uuited States Mint
lias a monopoly of the mauufactuiu
of fractional silver coins, and will
take euro to restrict their production
to a point at which tho demand for
them ns small change will keep their
value far above that of the bullion of
wtiieh they are composed. At pres
ent auy broker will give for them
within one-half of oue per cent, of
par, aud a slight increase of the de
mand would soou obliterate even
this small discount. The ouly other
kind of silver coin available is the
trade dollar, which eouiuins about
ninety-live cents worth of pure sil
ver, and the value of this would
probably bo so increased by auy
considerable demand as to leave
In ile or no profit in its use.
A more serious result tbe of measure
will be the strength it vviil add to tUe
movement for substituting silver for
gold iu the payment of tbe public
debt of the United Slates. A large
number of tbe members of both
Houses of Congress favor anew
coinage of the old silver dollar, con
taining 371 grains of pure silver, uud
equivalent, at tho present price of
silver, to eighty-six cents in gold.
Nothing in the wording of our bonds
prevents the use of such dollars iu
discharging the debt they represent,
principal as well us interest. They
promise only “coin,” and silver coin
fulfils that promise as well as gold.
With the example of Illinois before
the public, it will be difficult to re
sist the clamor that will arise for a
saving of fourteen per cent, on the
coin debt of the nation, by paying it
iu silver instead of gold.
Mr, Stephens’ Arrival Home.
The Crawfordville Democrat, of
Friday, says: “Mr. Stephens arrived
Home yesterday on the eleven o’clock
train from Augusta. He was consid
erably fatigued by travel, but con
sidering the long and severe spell of
s'ekness he passed through while iu
Washington City last Winter, he
stood the trip remarkably well. He
is apparently in better condition
than when he left home last Whiter,
and says he feels quite us well as
then. Ha expressed great gratifica
tion upon being able to ni“et and
shake hands once more with the
many friends who met him at the
depot on his arrival, and who called
to see him at Liberty Halt. His com
fort was greatly promoted on the
trip from Washington through the
kindness ot President John P. King
and Superintendent S, K. Johnson,
of the Georgia Railroad, who ar
ranged with other roads of the At
lantic Coast Line to bring him
through on sleepers, with only one
change of cars, which was at Wil
mingtoD, N. 0.
A fatality seems to attach to the
Simons. Once upou a time we had a
Simon in one of our Cabinets, and
affairs did not prosper, particularly
in tbe War Department. And the
French had a Simon in their Cabinet,
and it has suddenly exploded, aua
the fragments ate now only ordinary
Frenchmen. It seems that over there
MaeMahon is the man who is au
thorized by the French Constitution
rosay. “Wig, wag!” instead of Si
mon. But French polities are dif
ficult to understand, except by a
young lady just out of boarding
school who has been studying the
Fretteh language. Just now it seems
as if the Left are more left than they
were before—they’re left out in the
cold ; while the Right are all wrong,
and the Moderates are more immod
erate than either of theothertiarties.
If the army is with MaeMahon, then
nis hands are full of trumps, and he
will probably win the game, unless
public sentiment is so overwhelm
ingly against him that he dare not
play it to the end. If they need any
political wisdom in Enrope, our Sim
on is the man to impart it,, but not iu
French. He declines to speak French
ou auy occasion except iu an address
to the Sabbath-sohool. He doesu’t
wish to be considered one of “them
condemned literary fellers,” under
auy circumstances.— Cincinnati En

The town of Tultsoha, near the
head of the St. George mouth of the
Danube, has been ordered to b ‘ de
stroyed by the Turks, who evidently
intend to abandon this whole district
as far as the short railroad line be
tween Chernavoda und Kustenji.
Tultsccha is a town of twenty-five
thousaud inhabitants, shut in by
hills, and has beeu garrisoned by
about two thousand Turkish infan
try. The fortifications consist of
two redoubts on a hill between the
Danube and a marsh west of the
town, and three forts on hills located
on the south. The locality can be
strongly defended, and its abandon
ment indicates the concentration of
the Turkish strength within the
quadrilateral. A number of Krupp
guns were plaeea in position at
Tultsoha a few weeks ago, but, ns the
Turks ennnot get them away by
water they will doubtless be destroy
ed with the town.
