Governor Lindsay, of Alabama,gives
bis reasons for saying that tbo revival of
tbe old Whig party ia neither possible
nor deairaWe. first, there is no body of
Wbigs to be appealed to, and secondly,
the members of tbe old Whig party art

The Internal Revenue Commissioner
replies to an inquiry from Bt. Louis that
any person selling distilled spirits or wines
for any purpose whatever, on medical
prescription or not, is liable to pay special
tax; but that Hides of mixtures contain
ing such wines or spirits which cannot
be used as a beverage, or of articles con
taining them put up as medicines, in bot

according to tbe provisions of schedule
C, do not involve such liability.
The Houston Age offers a year’s

Two or three years ago tho same
question, usked in reference to tbe

sorely puzzled a Oeorgia Legislator.
But two years or more having elapsed
since a batch of new counties were
made, the machine has stood still
long enough to allow a count to be

A correspondent writing from Ran

corn was as thiok here as grasshop
pers in Texas, but it was sold at forty
cents per bushel or exchanged for

ise backed by a waiver.”
The Cincinnati Commercial, from
which we copy a letter expressing
the opinion that favorable consid

Republican paper. It does not think
that the refunding of tbe cotton tax

sippi in which the
South is more immediately and ex
clusively intsrested than in the Fa
oifle Railroad and river improvement
—stand as good a ohance as the lat
ter. Is it not, then, about time for
the people of the South to be making
known their wishes in this matter?
Are they willing to give up their
rights to secure favors of doubtful
benefit to them?

AN APPEAL TO PARTY.
John L. Conley, chairman of the
.‘Republican State Central Commit
tee,” makes an appeal to his party
to vote against the call of the Con
stitutional Convention, and we are
informed that leading Republicans
are actively at work, by tho distri
bution of circulars and tickets, try
ing to defeat the call. We have do
precated making this a party ques
tion, and we have strong hopes that
Conley and bis co-laborers will fail.
The framing of a constitution
which may remain the organic
law of the State for a hundred
years, Is too Important a work to be
made a party matter. Tbe same
considerations which have induced
ns to advocate the representation of
all the material interests of the State
in tho Convention, influence us in
advising the participation of all par
ties In the work. The best features
In the present constitution were se
cured by the efforts and superior
ability of tbo few Democrats and
Conservatives who were members of
the Convention of IBBB,and bad there
been more of them they would have
been able to prevent some of the
objectionable provisions which we
now seek to remedy. It is bad policy
for a political party to refuse to do
what It can to arrest bad legislation
because it cannot take control and
secure all that it desires. It is its
patriotic duty to prevent as much
evil as possible, as well as to accom
plish as much positive good.
Tho Republican party of Georgia
can effect nothing beneficial to
Itself as a political organization,
and certainly nothing for the
good of the State, by taking the
stand wltich Conley urges. Let it
rather exert itself to secure the elec
tion of tho best men to the Conven
tion—without regard to party where
it has not tbe strength and the talent
to elect the “best men” from its own
ranks—and defer until the presenta
tion of the constitution for popular
ratification the fight upon any other
issue. Rest assured that if tho con
stitution is not an improvement up
on the present one—if it injurious
ly and unjustly affects any
class of the people—if it
infringes the rights or liberties of
any class-if it fails to remedy evils
which nearly every man admits to be
allowed by the present constitution
there are thousands of men now
supporting tho call of the Convention
who will vote against tho ratification
of its work. It should bo, and doubt
less will be, tho object of every friend
of tbe Convention to securo through
it a better constitution, and if this is
not offerod as the result of its labors,
to vote down tho unsatisfactory sub
stitute.
UOV. SMITH'S I.ETTF.II.
There were some points in Gov.
Smith’s letter to Gov. Colquitt (tbe
material portions of which we gave
yesterday) that do not affect the
main question in which the people
of the State are interested, or affect
the issuo between Smith and Colquitt
—such as the difference between his
understanding and that of Garling
ton and Alston as to how the fee was
to be divided.
Gov. Smith blames Gov. Colquitt
for recognizing as his (Smith’s) offi
cial act a pretended contract of
which there was no mention in the
Executive journal in which the law
requires all such transactions to be
entered.
2. For not taking all the evidence
before paying Garlington and Alston
—Smith having sent him word that
he was ready to state all the facts in
the case; but on tbe contrary, accept
ing tbe representations of interested
parties alone.
3. After setting up the contract up
on Insufficient evidence, for paying
the parties without any proof that
they had ever compiled with Its pro
visions—by rendering adequate ser
vice. &c.
4. There was no proof that the
claim was secured by the services of
Garlington and Alston, and not by
the efforts of Congressmen.
Gov. Smith states his understand
ing of the agreement with Garling
ton, Alston et al., as follows :
The proposition stated in the entry
is simply to the effect that the rate of
compensation must not be greater
than twenty-five per cent, on the
amount collected; but not that it
might not be less. It is not intended
that at all events the rate must be as
high as twenty-five per cent.; but
that in no event shall it be higher.
In conclusion, on this particular
point 1 will add that it was not my
intention, in said entry, to fix what
the rate of compensation to be paid
to agents should actually be; but
rather to inhibit them from claiming
that they oould, under any cjreum
stances, receive a higher rat© than
the one therein mentioned.
Dr. Van Dike, at tho recent Pres
byterian Assembly at| Chicago, took
occasion to correct a misrepresenta
tion of bis church, as follows:
Now, Ido not believe that either
a child or a roan is ever sent to hell
because he is un baptized. [Sensa
tion.] Ido not believe that any in
fant, dying in infancy, baptized or
unbaptized, heathen or Christian, is
excluded from the kingdom of
heaven, I believe they are all saved.
[Applause.] I beg leave to say, sir,
that this is your opinion, and Dr.
Ellinwood’s opinion. and Dr. Irving’s
opinion, and tbe opinion of the whole
Presbyterian church. [Loud ap
plause.] If it is not, let the man
who does not believe it rise up and
contradict it. [Applause ] I love
tbe Lord Jesus Christ, because by His
own precious blood He redeemed me,
aod I love Him the more, I think,
because I believe that now, on His
throne, He is repeating not wily His
words but His actions, when He said,
“Suffer little children to come unto
Me, and forbid them not, for of such
is the kiogdom of heaven.” It re
lieves my mind of much of the dark
shadow that sin has brought over
this world, and which the broad
acres of little graves deepen in my
heart, that God takes them and folds
them in the fold of tbe Great Shep
herd above^

VOTE TOR ONLY THREE.
Wo see no good reason to fear that
the people of Muscogee county will
disregard the pledge made for them
by their public meeting In this city—
to vote for only three Muscogee can
didates as delegates to the Conven
tion. But inasmuch as wo are in
formed that some of the people of
Marion county are apprehensive that
this pledge will bo forgotten in the
close canvass between tbe six or
more candidates whom Muscogee
will present, we take occasion to urge
the lmportuDoe of adhering to it in
good faith. Ir. would be provocative
of bad feeling In the other
counties of the district for
more than three Muscogee
men to bo elected. People would
suspect that our Muscogee meeting
declined to make nominations with a
view to securing more than three
delegates, if the result gives any
color to this suspicion. Wo know
that this was not the case, but that
the controlling motive was to have a
local contest for delegates and thus
to bring out a large vote for the Con
vention. Tho exceeding shortness
of the late vote on the ratification of
a constitutional amendment, when
there were no candidates running,
admonishes us that we need some
ptTsonal interest and effort to get out
a large vote. This is why no nomi
nations were made.
Muscogee has so many candidates,
ail runningwithouta nomination, that
there is much more danger of tho de
feat of any one of them than there is
of the defeat of a nominee in Marlon
or Chattahoochee. Tho people of
those counties need not fear any trick
here; nor do we think they need fear
even the unintentional election of
more than three Muscogee men. Let
them vote for one each of their own
county men, and three from Musco
gee, and each county will get its due.
NO ELECTORAL, COMMMMON.
Editor Times:—lt seems that tho
people can’t rule; the lawyers und
those running have determined who
of their number shall represent Mus
oogee. They have every candidate
among them except perhaps one,
gone into a private caucus to nomi
nate themselves. The populace
must look to such movements. The
good people ask that for so simple a
thing the voters will act according to
the public meeting at the Court
House, 19th May.
Thoso who agree to this cut and
dried programme must not say they
are the regular nominated Democrat
ic candidates, but should announce
their independent candidacy. The
people ignore such stuff, and are not
to be thus ignored with impunity.

THE WANTS OF THE MOUTH.
AN OUTLINE 01’ THE ADMINISTRATION’S
POLICY—PROJECTS OF VAST IMPOR
TANCE TO DE ENCOURAGED.
Washington Special to Cincinnati Commercial.j
The South Is making formidable
preparations for urging upon Con
gress at tho approaching session the
various schemes of internal improve
ment that have grown somewhat,
familiar iu the past few years. It is
indisputably a fact that the Southern
people have interpreted a portion of
President Hayes’ inaugural uddress
to mean that ir. wili bo the policy or
bis administration to encourage
schemes of this sort bv Congressional
appropriations, and under this inter
pretation they have already gone
vigorously to work to educate public
opinion at the North in favor of their
interests, and to wiu over aud secure
pledges rrotn the new Congressmen
at the North whose assistance will
be absolutely requisite to secure the
desired end. Prominent Southern
men are noticeable now a-days travel
ing throughout the North, and what
ever may be the ostensible purpose of
their journeyings, the real purpose is
found to be, nine times out of ten,
to work up the plans referred to.
They urge that the President is com
mitted, not only by the passage in
his inaugural, to which they attach
so much importance, but also by
what they are pleased to consider
implied promises made by his friends
last winter during the Electoral
count. They do not hesitate to affirm
that suoh promises were made them,
and their determination to insist
that they shall be strictly fulfilled,
aud on their own construction. They
have not been able to show promises
in black and white ftom tho Presi
dent’s friends guaranteeing support
for the Texas Pacific Railroad, the
Mississippi levees and the cotton tax
refunding propositions, and it will
probably be demonstrated that no
ouch evidences of the bargain are in
existence. At the same time it is
true that a much more liberal feeling
toward these schemes, and the Texas
Pacific iu particular, was felt and
displayed by Northern Congressmen
last winter than ever before, and in
view of the work done then and
since they are amply justified in en
tertaining the belief that their pros
pects are much brighter than they
ever were.
Just what the President meant by
the passage iu his inaugural refer
ring to tho claim of tho South for
material assistance to develop her
resources has never been authorita
tively explained, but it is insisted by
the friends of the Administration
that whatever he may have meant,
he certainly did not mean to coun
tenance either one of the above
mentioned schemes. A liberal al
lowance for improvement of the
rivers and harbors, long neglected
in the South, will not be opposed by
this class of friends of the Adminis
tration, while there are many others
who have heretofore opposed the
Texas Pacific who now openly ex
press a willingness to vote for it, and
work to secure its success. They
say they will do this, while they are,
on principle, opposed to the practice
of payment by the Government of
such subsidies; yet, because the
South has not profited as has the
North, in the last sixteen years, they
are willing to make an exception of
this case.
They further agree that in thus
fostering the material interests of the
South they are giving directly the
strongest aid and encouragement to
the new policy, which will best be
promoted by a revival of business
suoh as they think would be brought
about by the construction of the
road.
It is early to judge of the probabili
ties, but present appearances are
clearly in favor of the passage of the
Texas Pacific bill and very liberal
appropriations for the improvement
lot rivers and harbors. The Missis
sippi levees and cotton tax refunding
projects do not seem to bo nearly so
certain to succeed. If, however, the
President, In his message, should
take ground against these sohemes,
they wiil receive a backset from
which they may not be able to re
cover. The changes in the Senate
made by accessions of native South
erners have rendered it almost cer
tain that that body will give the
schemes a handsome majority. The
House will not be so easily handled,
but unless the President Interferes in
a most decided manner the House
will be carried.
The Vonrou) Cnuarli* of the Czar.
Pall Mail Gazette.]
The lighting value, on a modern
field of battle, of the Cossack troops
or the Czar has yet to bo determined ;
hut in nuy case it can not be denied
that their appearance on parade
must tie extremely effective. The
following is the uniform and equip
mentof t he Cossacks of thu Caucasus,
as described in a reoent number of
the Revue M'Hilaire tie I’Etranger.
The up|ier garment consists of the
Circassian tunic or tchekmeu, fasten
ed down the breast with frogs, with
cartridge cases on the right and left.
Beneath this oomes the bechmet, u
kind of long waist-coat reaching
down below the tunic, aud which is
of silk when tbe Cossack is in full
dress. The pautaloons are of 'lie
same color as the coat, and the legs
ure tucked into long boots, which
reach up to and sometimes above the
knee. The head-dress is the papak
ka, a cap in shape somewhat similar
to the busby worn in tho English
at my, but made of sheepskin. Tbe
several regiments are distinguished
from one another by the color of the
bechmet and shoulder straps; the top
of the papakka and the covers of the
cartridge oases being also of the same
hue. Thus the regiments of Cos
sacks of the Ivouban wear a black tchek
men, with a red bechmet, red cartridge
cases and a red top to the papakka, while
in the Terek Cossack corps all the acces
sories are blue. To protect him from the
rain; tbe Cossack carries a large mantle,
called a bourka, made of peculiar kind of
clolh manufactured in the mountains,
which is said to he light, warm, imper
vious to moisture und everlasting in wear.
By night this bourka, which possesses al
so the invaluable property of driving away
all insects and vermin, serves as a bed,
and when not in use is rolled up and
strapped on behind the saddle. The tiock
lik, a cap made of the same kind of cloth,
is the complement of the bourka, and is
provided with two long tails, which,
when It rains, tbe Cossack twists around
bis neck. In bivouac, also, the bocklik
is worn us a night cap. The arms carried
by tile Cossacks arc the schochka, or
long mountain sword, with no guard to
the hiit, and which is worn en bandonl
iere, suspended by a thin leather strap;
the kimljul, or short dagger, two pistols
stuck into a waist-belt and a Berdan rifle,
similar to that carried bv the dragoons of
the regular army, but without a bayonet.
Tbe horse furniture consists ot a light
saddle, somewhat resembling in appear
ance tlie Arabian pattern, but without
the high wooden cant peculiar to the lat
ter. The frame-work is covered with a
skin of exceedingly soft and supple leath
er; two girts arc broad but thin leather
bands, each about nine inches in width,
and are attached to tbe saddle at a con
siderable interval apart. A thick woolen
rug is placed below the saddle, while final
ly a leather cushion stulled witli horse
hair, secured on top of the saddle by a
third girt similar to the two already de
scribed, forms the scat of the rider. The
bridle has only a single rein, the horse
moving generally with his head down and
his neck stretched out. The horses them
selves are small, usually about fourteen
hands in height, but they are well pro
portioned, robust and able to get through
much hard work without knocking up.
Tile Telearupti Case.
The Telegraph case in the U. S. Circuit
Court, is still pending. The argument
yesterday was on the answer of the re
spondent, the South & North road, to the
petition of the Atlantic & Pacific Tele
graph Company, and the demurrer there
to of the latter. New points of law a] -
pear to arise, step by siep, in this im
portant case. For instance, in tbe an
swer of tlie respondent it was developed
that tlie 8. <& N. hula contract with tlie
\V. U. Teiegrapti Cos., signed in 1872,
giving to tbe latter company “so far as it
legally can, the exclusive right of way
for telegraph lines over its grounds." for
25 years. The contract between the 8.
A N. and W. U. further “agrees to grant
no free privileges to any other telegraph
company, or to any officer or employe
thereof, while building or operating a
Hue along said railroad.” The petition of
the A. & P. does not disclose this fact,
and the argument yesterday, between tbe
learned counsel, was on this point, and it
was not couoluded on the adjournment
of tbe court last night. A jury is still in
attendance, but has not yet been empanel
led. The decision of the court, this morn
ing will determine whether or not there
willte any necessity for a jury. The court
convenes at 10 o’clock.— Montgomery

Ittdfuu Troubles In Texn*.
Bt. Louis, May 29.—A special from
Leavenworth to the Globe-Democrat
says that a letter in the Kansas City
Times from Sweetwater. Texas, gives
a report that the towu Double Moun
tain in the Pan Handle of Texas has
been captured by Apache Indians,
and all tbe stook in the town ruu off.
No particulars are given. The letter
also states quite a large number of
hunters have been killed by Indians
during the past winter; also, that a
fight recently occurred in the Pan
Handle between about sixty hunters
and twice that number of Apaches.
The hunters started after the In
dians to avenge the murder of Mr.
Sewall, one of their number. They
followed their trail many days, and
although their provisions gave out
they still pursued them, living on
what game they could kill. At
length they came upon an Indian
village containing a number of
lodges on tbe banks of a small
stream, and, although they had been
without food two days, they attacked
the Indians under cover of the banks
of the stream. The tight contiuned
several hours, and was only stopped
by darkness. During the night the
Indians struck their lodges, took
their women and children and killed
and wouuded, aud fled. Tbe Indian
loss is not known, but believed to be
considerable. Several hunters were
wounded, but none killed.
