This tendency of breadstulTd Is still
downward, with a prospect that
prices will fall back nearly to the
figures ruling before the speculators
seized on the warns a pretext for
bulling the market.
The Tislt of Western capitalists to
Columbia, and the study they are
making of the Southeast indicates,
says the New York Herald, that ttie
West begins to have fait h in the fu
ture of the cotton States, and that,
capital -the great want of the South
—will be forthcoming for sound and
profitable enterprises.
A correspondent of the New York
Times, writing from Ox moor, declares
that the iron licit iu Alabama in
which Oxmoor is situated is the most
favored district of the kind in the
United States. “The iron ores of
Alabama are prodigal gifts of nature
in quantity, quality and amiability.”
Crops iu Wisconsin are pronounced
quite promising by the Milwaukee
Sentinel, which has reports from
nearly all the counties in the State.
It says that wheat generally is in
good condition, but the acreage is
only an average. The appearance of
the chinch-bug in some localities is
the only pest mentioned.
Mem. from Society Journal. “Miss
S appeared to positive disudvun
tage because of cloudiness of com
plexion and must w write it? -
Pimples spoiling an otherwise beau
tiful countenance.” (She should by
all means procure and use Dr. Hull’s
Blood Mixture.- Hep.)
We hear very little, just now, abuut
the formation of the new party to
support the administration of Mr.
Hayes, but. accounts from Washing
ton represent that a certain portion
of the Republican party are active in
their efforts to form a party to op
pose the Administration. Their
meetings and proceedings are said to
lie secret as yet.
We notice that the low rates of
telegraphing, some time ago adopt
ed for messages between Northern
and Western cities, have been ex
tended hh far South as Nashville,
Tenu. That is as far south as the
lines of the Atlantic & Pacific Tele
graph Company are in working
operation. The charge for a mes
sage of 10 words from Nashville as
far east, as Boston, or us far west us
Omaha, is now only 25 cents, and
night messages are only 20 cents for
27 words.
The opponents of the re-monetiza
tion of silver are apt to injure only
tiieir own cause by their pretence
that postmasters and others are in
commoded by the large quantity of
silvercoiu which they have to re
ceive. Let it be made an unlimited
legal tender, and tne cry of too much
silver will then be so ridiculous that,
no one will raise it. The people of
the country will be apt to see the
remedy for "too much silver,” if the
politicians at Washington and else
where cannot.
We can hardly believe it. Hut u
writer on “Raleigh as it Was and
Is,” in the Otwercer, of that city, re
calls one famous night forty years
ago in the Raleigh Theatre when
“Rotnbastes Furioso” and the "Lady
of Lyons” were given, ami in the
caste was "John 11. Martin, now of
the Columbus (Ga.) Times.”
Brother Martin, you have kept very
sttady about your histrionic talents
and experiences. When we get up
our dramatic club to worry dull care
away during the coming summer,
hold yourself ready to be pressed into
service.— Macon Tel.
It is a true bill. Brother Clisby.
though we think that one of the
plays was Goldsmith's "She Sloops
to Conquer,” instead of the "Lady of
Lyons.” (Had the latter been writ
ten at that time?) We are afraid that
that Raleigh explorer of old files will
find newapaper mentio i of several of
our juvenile pranks. But it was only
an amateur thespian corps to which
we belouged, and we want you to
understaud that we have gotten over
all that.
The Columbus, (Oil) Time*, roturiing
to the rejection by our city oouueil of uu
ordinance prohibiting the opening of the
atres on Sunday,says that "Shreveport is
running personal liberty to excess.
“Running personal liberty toon excess"
ie rather a hard thing to do, if Mr. James
Stuart Mill may be believed. Iu Ids admi
rable work on “Liberty” be says that so
ciety has no right to interfere with the
personal freedom of an individual for his
own good, but only when the exercise of
such personal freedom would conflict
with the good of society. Now. so far ns
we are able to gather, those of our clt i
sens who feel disposed to attend a theatre
on Sunday are quite us willing to leave to
others who do not, the uninterrupted
privilege to stay at their homes or go to
church. Succinctly slated, thev do not
wish to Interfere with the rights of others,
but claim in the same ratio that others,
or. If you please, society should pay due
defereooe to their rights and opinions.—
Shreveport Tiimx.
Mr. John Stuart Mill is one of the
most prominent advocates of a
license that would “run personal lib
erty to excess.” But even he seems to
admit the right of society to Interfere
with personal freedom that conflicts
with the good of society. The ques
tion is, does uot the opening of thea
tres on Sunday conflict with the good
of society? In paying “due deference
to the right of particular individ
uals,” should not law makers also
pay due deference to the general re
ligious sentiment and customs of the
community ut large? The city coun
cil of Shreveport could find safer ad
visers In matters of this kind than
John Stuart Mill.

The wall of Morton—the chief
patron of the carpet-baggers and
bearer of the "bloody shirt” stand
ard-la the moat significant confes
sion yet made of the utter overthrow
of ids party of sectionalism aud hate.
It is a protest against event), accom
panied by a declaration of reluctant
acquiescence in the inevitable.
Blaine seeks to throw blame upon
Hayes, whom he regards as a betray
er of his party. But Morton admits
that Hayes could not have controlled
the events which both he and Blaiue
deplore. He admits that the una
nimity of the Democrats In opposi
tion to the policy of governing the
South which lie (Morton) so long
engineered successfully, and the
division of the Republicans on the
question, left Hayes no other course
to pursue than to submit to the
will of the people, ft is strange that
In tills country even a public
man of Morton’s bitter prejudices
nud Intense partisanship can be found
to make such reproachful complaint
at what he is bound to admit to be
the judgment of the jieople. But so
It is. A long career of lawless excess
and unchecked usurpation had made
the Radical party arrogate to them
selves a power greater than that, of
the people or the Constitution, and
they cannot submit to defeat without
showing their teeth and snarling a
Morton does. Happily, however, the
Radical party, by a career of sin and
debauchery, has reduced itself to
Morton’s physical condition. Its pre
mature decrepitude is the wreck of a
misspent manhood.
The Democratic party, by its pa
tient endurance of wrong and its in
dexible adhereuco to principle aud
the constitution, has at last made it
self too strong for t he party of whose
past course Mortou wus the fittest
exemplar. Iktdical misrule und op
pression made the South a unit in
opposition, and so divided the Re
publican party of the North as to
show an indisputable large majority
against Morton’s policy. He or
Blaine would no doubt have
still resisted the decision of the
people, if either of them
had been in the Presidential
chair. But. that position was held
by a man of more discretion, if not
of more patriotism, and hence it, is
that we find a Republican President
abandoning the coercive policy of
Grant and Morton, aud saying for
the first time to the military despot
in tiie South, “Put up thy sword—
States can be saved without it.” This
tardy but final deliverance was effect
ed by the power and influence of a
“solid South." Had wo been divided,
Radicalism throughout another
Presidential term would doubtless
have ridden rough-shod over
us ns in the past, and
even our political allies of tbe North
would not. have risked unpopularity
at home by sternly and uncompro
misingly demanding whut Hayes has
accorded and Morion is forced to ac
quiesce in. As oppression and bad
government, drove us to unity, let us
not now commit the folly of dividing
because of our success, and thus
opening the way for anew series of
indignities and wrongs.
III'.PI.Y TO W. 11. 11l HltlEI.I.
Editor Times: I have read t lie stric
tures on my article by Win. D. Tram
mell, Esq, The writer wholly mls
understuuds some of my positions,
and seems to have overlooked the
decisions of the Supreme Court on
the Homestead title.
He says: "Major Moses says our
Supreme Court will certainly decide
that the estate set apart under the
homestead is only a life estate. I
(he, W. 1). TANARUS.,) don’t know what they
will do.” Reply—l never said so. I
said the Supreme Court had decided,
uot that they would decide, “that the
parents had a use for life, and the
minors had a use until their major
ity.” Ttie title then reverts to tho
estate of the debtor, and is subject to
tiis creditors. [l7 Geo., G32.]
W. D. T. further says that tho de
cision of Judge Bradley disposes of
thequestion. Reply—the deoision of
Judge Bradley does not even remote
ly touch it. All that Judge Bradley
decided was “that no part of the
Homestead given to the debtor by
State Law vested iu the assignee iu
bankruptcy by operation of the bank
rupt law, bulls specially excepted.”
1 did uot sav that the Constitution
of 18G8 did not prohibit the pas
sage of an “<:.r post facto law,” be
cause the Constitution of 18G8 does in
words directly prohibit it. How
could I say so?
I said that the Constitution of 18G8
did not prohibit the passage of re
troactive laws injuriously affecting the
rights of persons, and that our pre
vious Constitutions did prohibit it.
An ex post facto law,and a retroac
tive law injuriously affecting the
rights of persons, are totally differ
ent. One refers to criminal acts, the
other to civil rights.
My views upon treason against the
State of Georgia, the fact of the
United States beiug tho American
nation, aud tiiat. the citizen owes
paramount allegiance to tbe Govern
mentof the United States, were all
addressed to the Democrats of Geor
gia. W. I>. T. is, I learn, a Republi
can. The principle# referred to have
divided Democrats and Republicans
uuder various names since the foun
dation of tbe Government. My
views maintain State rights, home
rule, &e. The Republican views as
serted by W. D. TANARUS, advocate cen
tralization, absorption of the States
in the Central Government, lay the
foundation of an unlimited des
potism, &c. These different views
have divided parties for luo years. I
did not expect to convert Republi
cans to my views in a single article,
and am not therefore surprised that
W. D. T. differs with me.
I thought it proper to make these
few explanatory remarks, but do not
intend to discuss the questions |
further. Respectfully,
R. J. Moses.

silver Iti-mmirtl/atiun.
From thii Mtomphl* AvtUiichii.J
The Illinois Legislature has made
a deep, heavy score on the side of
silver coin. It has passed an Act,
which is now a law, declaring silver
coin an unlimited legal tender in
that State. Under the Federal Con
stitution tiie States are authorized to
make only coin a legal tender, and
coin means not gold ulone, but gold
aud silver. Therefore the legislation
In Illinois restores tiie old silver dol
lar to the position it held from the
foundation of the Government until
tricked into a subordinate place in
1878. This was done at the bidding
of the bondholders, who desired to
enhance the value of their bonds by
striking down silver and changing
the double to a single standard. As
a result gold was “bulled” and silver
“beared.” It was accomplished at a
time when tiie great depreciation of
greeuhu' ks hud thrown coin out of
circulation, and out of mind. It had
been forgotten ns a circulating me
dium ; and taking advantage of tills.
Congress essayed to destroy a stan
dard of value created by the Federal
Constitution, and which could not be
legally destroyed without a change
in the Constitution itself.
Now that greenbacks arc up iu t he
90s and steadily appreciating, the
effect of this monstrous legislation is
apparent. Hllver Is reappearing.
The smaller coins ate once more lie
coming plentiful, and the unsightly,
mrasly fractional currency is drop
ping from view. But the silver dol
lar does not come to the surface.
Congress has declared that one of
the constitutional legal tenders for
all debts is uot a legal tender inset
iling with the bondholders—that,
only gold is good enough f° r them,
though depreciated greenbacks are
good enough for the people.
The aoiiou of the Illinois Legisla
ture is opportune. It is justice. It
is what the Legislature of Tennessee
should have done last winter, and
what, we trust, it will do should an
extra session lie called. Congress
canuot deny tlie right of a State to
revive the double standard, for the
attempt would be an effort to super
sede tiie Constitution, which de
clares gold and silver the only legal
tenders. Whenever a State imitates
Illinois it will render more conspicu
ous tiie crime perpetrated by Con
gress against the people in 1873.
That was a crime which cannot be
tnade too odious by ceaseless agita
tion.

A strange silt vival of African su
perstition has clothed itself in South
Carolina with the garb of Anglo-
Saxon law; and it may servo, says
tiie Baltimore Ornette , as an indiea
lion of the fitness r what was recent
ly tiie ruling class in that State for
Lite exercise of the duties of Ameri
can citizenship. One of the inerad
icable creeds of the negro race is
“conjuring.” Even considerable
education often fails to rid the color
ed man of the belief that another
can “conjure” him—l. c.. east a spell
or blight on him. so that he wiil fall
sick, wither and die. In Africa the
iinyanger, or witch doctor, corres
ponds somewhat with the medicine
man of our Indians, but. is a far more
bloody aud beastly personage. Tne
traditions of tho imyanger or con
jurer still affright tiie souls of the
American citizens of African descent.
Ttie South Carolina ease is as fol
lows: A negro man named Adam
Snipe died of consumption near
Port Royal. When he was dying he
accused Dago Hagood of having con
jured him und given him the cough
of which he was wasting away. He
recalled to his friends the fact that
Dago had about six months before
come up behind him, aud putting
one hand on each shoulder asked,
“Who is it?” This was tiie charm
and the cough was its magical work
ing. All of the friends of the dying
man accepted this its proof positive
of the guilt of Dago. They, there
fore, sent for the Coroner, as though
a murder hud been committed. The
Coroner, for tho sake of preserving
the peace, and possibly with the
hope of disabusing them of their
delusion, went and empaneled a
jury. That jury, in spite of all the
instructions and charges of the Cor
oner, Mr. Carleton, preslated in ren
dering a verdict of murder against
Hagood. The Charleston News and
Courier publishes a literal copv of
the finding of the Coroner’s jury,
which is a curiosity in its way. it is
as follows : "That Adam Snipe came
to his death at Coosaw Island, in
Beaufort county, on the 11th day of
April, 1877, and that his death was
caused through one Dago Hagood,
he having some time previously put
his hands around deceased’s neck,
producing a cough, aud poisoning
said Adam Snipe, thereby wilfully,
unlawfully and feloniously causing
the death of the said Adam Snipe,
contrary to the peace and dignity of
said State.” The Port Royal Adver
tiser states that Ilagood is now in
jail. As it seems now to be a neces
sity that lie shall be tried for mur
der, the question arises what will be
his chances before a jury of his peers?
No charge of the Judge could save
hint from a verdict of guilty. The
pardoning power of Gov. Hampton
is, perhaf>s, the only certain safe
guard that lie lias against the scaf
fold. Things are almost as bad
among the negroes of South Carolina
as they were among tne New Eng
land Puritan witch burners some
two hundred years ago.
Morton’s letter is considered damaging
to the cause of Kellogg, whom lie labored
to sustain and to snatch from tiie wreck
of tiie Packard government.

The case of the Atlantic & Pacific
Toiegrauh Company, to condemn ttie
right of way along the line of the
South & North railroad, between
Montgomery aud Decatur, excited
great Interest in the United States
Court, Judge Bruce presiding, yes
terday. The Western Union Tele
graph Cos. appear to bo making the
legal tight against the new company.
Tiie case was opened yesterday on
motion of Judge Rice and Geu.
Morgan, who represent the Western
Union, to quash the proceedings for
want of jurisdiction, and because the
petition was nor in conformity to the
statutes of the State, and in conflict
with the new constitution of Ala
bama, and therefore are abrogated
by it. A great many intricate iegul
points arise iu the case, and it will
lie several days, perhaps, before a
decision is reached. The argument
yesterday was able and elaborate,
both pro and con., aud was
concluded about 7 o’clock,
when lire court adjourned un
til iu o’clock thi* morning,
when Judge Bruce will render his
decision. The case has not yet
i reached the jury, although there is
one in waiting, though not yer em
| panelled. Gen. Morgan and Judge
Rice represent the Western Union,
and Col. John A. Elmore and Maj.
H. C. Semple tiie A. AP. Cos. Both
sides are in able bauds, and, unless
I the motion to quash is granted, the
| fight, will be long and hotiv contest

A Tennessee exchange volunteers
some advice to the Ohio Democracy :
"Good advice to all parties, in Ohio and
elsewhere in this country, is to let the
money question hlone, except, that every
honest man must Insist on the restoration
of the silver dollar to Ite legal-tender
place in our system, whence it was strlck
en through hcedloasneaaon one hand and
by fraud on the other. Honest men will
also Insist that none of the money of the
people Is stolon or misapplied. And, hav
ing looked after these two Items, they
will, if they are wise, let tho balance of
the financial HiTairs of tho country take
care of them selves."
Our esteemed adviser will please
accept the assurances of our distin
guished consideration. We are much
obliged for tiie "good advice,” but
beg to suggest that it is more needed
liv the Republican parly. The Re
publicans do not "let the money
question alone.” They will not per
mit it to be let alone. They have
enacted a resumption law which
means universal ruin to tho business
interests of the country, and they
propose to enforce it. Is that letting
the money question alone? What
friend of tho people, wlmt friend of
the Democratic party, is it that ad
vises the Democrats to "let the
money question alone?” Tiie resto
ration of the silver dollar is an act of
equity which will, of course, be de
manded by the Democracy of Ohio.
Nearly all the tax-payers are Iu favor
of stepping stealing; but wiieD
“these two items" shall have been
looked after, only the edge of the
“money question,” of the “financial
affairs "of the country,” will have
been touched. What about the Na
tional Banks? What about wiping:
out 9350,000,000 in greenbacks t wenty
months hence, on a named day?
What about enormously increasing
tiie bonded debt of the country? What
about taking away half of our cur
rency directly, and the other half in
directly? What about surrendering
the right, of issue of money, which
properly inheres in the Government,
to h National Batik monopoly, and
paying the monopoly for accepting
it? With such questions confront
ing us, we are asked to let t he money
question alone, to let, the financial
affairs nf the country take care of
themselves! Excuse us, if you
please. Cincinnati Enquirer.
A MtccesHlnl anil a Defeat td swindle
From the Now Orleans Democrat J
The truth Is that both Ilayes and
Packard were beaten in this State
fairly and legally by a majority aver
aging B,OUO votes. The difference be
tween the two is, that the American
people, including Messrs. Tllderi arid
Hendricks, were willing to acquiesce
In the fraud, arid so acquiesced ill
the inauguration of Mr. Ilayes,
while the people of Louisiana
were resolved not to submit
to the fraud, even if they had
to resort to revolution to defeat it, j
and hence it was found impossible to
inaugurate Packard without the aid
of the army and navy. This is the
sole and only difference between
Hayes and Packard. Let Hayes say
what, lie may, Packard was as fairly
elected Governor of Louisiana as he
whs elected President; and let Pack
ard any what lie may, Hayes was
elected President as fairly as lie was
elected Governor. Both arc frauds,
tdie difference being that one got,
awnv with the. swindle, and the
other failed to do so.

The sarcasm of the Savannah Neii's

The Atlanta Constitution gets after
an anonymous correspondent who

surprised that, our friends of the
Constitution should feel a little in

attentive reader of that, paper who is
in doubt as to tiie “true inwardness”
of its editors on the convention
question, may safely be regarded as

Three canoes, with two boys in
each, came about our ship, and spent
a good part of the day. Except for
the loin cloth, they were dressed in
tiieir own skins. Their canoes, made
of a single log of wood, were remark
ably trim and light, aud they man
aged them with great dexterity.
They culled out, to the passengers in
pretty good English, proposing to
dive for any small piece of money
that might be thrown into the water.
Their agility and skill are wonderful.
They never fail to get, tiie money
long before it readies the bottom.
One of them proposed to diveto the
bottom, and briug up some coral or
sea weed for ten cents. One of the
passengers agreed to give it. The
little fellow stood erred in bis canoe,
poised himself spraug into the air,
and went into the water perpendicu
larly, head downward. He was gone
so long that I should have felt un
easy, only I saw that his companions
were not. At last he came up with
two or three pieces of beautiful sea
weed. He took breath a minute,
looked ut me, and said, “Dime, sir?”
“Yes.” Down lie went, and
was gone forty-two seconds.
What he brought up I hope to
take home with me. Again aud again
tho feat was performed, until every
passenger hud a specimen. The di
vers got lots of cash —I was goiog to
say. pocketed lots—but. that they did
not do. When we moved off. some
of the passengers waved handker
chiefs vigorously at them. They un
derstood the joke, aud screamed with
laughter, responding an uproarious
goodbye \—Bishop Marvin.
Uangeroua Vinegar.
The Board of Health of the Dist rict
of Columbia recent ly condemned live
car-loads of vinegar sent from Chica
go, on tiie ground that it is not a
genuine article and is very injurious
to health. An analysis of the so
called vinegar was made. It, appears,
according to tho report of the Board
of Health, that the vinegar contains
541 grains i>or gallon of anhydrous
sulphuric acid, combined with lime,
to form sulphate of lime equivalent
to 117 J grains of gypsum per
gallon, and besides that, five
grains of free sulphuric acid
tier gallon. Tiie Board also
reports that this sample was taken
from an invoice of more than l,t)00
barrels brought here to be sold as
vinegar, and that it is likely to find
a ready sale on account of its low
price. Ttie report concludes us fol
lows: “When we think that oil of
vitriol (sulphuric acid) can be bought
at live ceuts a pound, and that a
pound of said acid would reuder a
barrel of fluid as acid as t lie st rongest
vinegar, the wonder will cease that
it is sold cheap. This, therefore, is a
fraud upon commerce and a danger
ous substitute for vinegar.”— N. Y.
