Ex-Oov. Brown has declined to
run as a candidate for the Conven
tion In the Atlanta district.
The Hawirinsville Ditpatch of
Thursday reporta a further advance
in wool, reaching 27$ cents on Wed

-A dispatch of the 6th from Naples
reports Vesuvius as showing signs of
an eruption. Fire is seen at the
mouth of anew crater, at night, and
a cone is forming.
The Radical bre.hren are not getting
along harmoniously at Atlanta. We learn
from the Constitution that Filter
Blodgett has commenced a suit for libel
against J. E. Bryant, chairman of the
Republican JSlate Central Committee.
Bryact had in his pa|>er said something
about Blodgett which is made the foun
dation of the suit. It is one of the
tights between the native Radical and
carpet-bagger.
Mr. Editor: Please publish the fol
lowing for the information of all con
cerned: The law requires that every
voter must have paid all taxes due by
him, “which he has had an opportu
nity to pay,” to entitle him to vote
In this case he must have paid the
taxes of 1876. Respectfully yours,

The Irwinton Southerner learns
from farmers who have employed
convicts, that they do much more
work than other field laborers, and
do their work exceedingly well.
They are well fed and comfortably
clothed, not allowed to dissipate, and
their condition is therefore much
like that of the slaves of former
times, and their ability and fldejlty
to their work very similar.
The Southern proverb, “a dry May
makes a good crop year,” may hold
good as to cotton ; but the drouth
of this year lasting through the
whole s>t May has already seriously
injured the oat crop, and oorn has
no doubt received damage from
which it cannot wholly recover. It
would be a calamity if this drouth
should much curtail the grain crops
of the South, even If it does make
4,!>00,000 bales of cotton at 7 or Scents
per pound.
The New York Tribune objects to
the proposition to admit freo of duty
the machinery of English cotton fac
tories which wish to remove their
establishments to our Southern
Stateß. It says that “something
is due to the men who have put mil
lions of capital into machinery and
mills at the North.” The Tribune’s
objection shows the “true inward
ness” of the kind of protection to
American industry of which it has
always been the foremost champion.
It meant protection only to the in
dustry and capital of the North..
Tlik Atlanta Constitution, noticing
the statement of the Augusta Chronicle
that its columns were "open to the free
discussion of public questions,” says that
because It (the Constitution) prints both
sides of the Convention controversy, it is
accused of double-dealing.
We think that the Constitution mis
takes the cause of the accusation. We
have freely “printed both sides of the
Convention controversy,” and no one has
been silly or malicious enough to charge
us with double-dealing. Why? Because
our own position has been clearly statod,
and in our argument son the question th
reader cannot fail to sec au earnestness
corresponding with our profession.
Thk Charleston New* says of the
amount of the debt of Bouth Carolina:
‘‘When the entire fundable debt of
the State shall have been converted
into consolidation bonds and stocks,
the State debt will amount to $5,976,-
917. This result is obtuiued by tbe
repudiation, by the Republicans, in
1873 of the $6,000,000 of spurious con
version bonds, and by the scaling of
the remainder of the debt to 50 cents
on the dollar. The actual bonded
debtof the State, October 31, 1867,
principal and interest, was $6,523,-
576. To this must bo added the
bonds issued to redeem the bills re
ceivable issued under Gov. Orr’s Ad
ministration, making theante-reeon
struotion debt $6,007,570; or $30,609
more than the debt under the con
solidation net.”
Savaxnah’s Debt.— A conference of
bondholders of the city of Savannah
was held in that city on Wednesday.
Representatives of $1,387,700 of the
bonded debt were present. After a
good deal of discussion, a committee
of seven bondholders was appointed
to examine tbe bonded indebtedness,
with a view of ascertaining whether
any arrangement satisfactory to the
bondholders and to the city can be
arrived at, and to report to a general
meeting of the bondholders hereafter
to be held in Savannah. The News
thinks that the meeting will not be
called until November.
A meeting of tbe Augusta bondhold
ers of the city of Savannah was held
on Tuesday. Nearly $300,000 of Sa
vannah bonds was represented. The
undivided sentiment of this meeting
was that no scaling of interest or
principal should tbe accepted, but
some were willing to fund tho past
due interest. It was stated that citi
izens of Savannah refused to pay
$250,000 of taxes on the ground of
technicalities, *and that this sum
would pay ail the coupons now due.
The meeting adopted a resolution
protesting against Savannah's repu
diating any portion of her debt, and
suggesting additional taxation and
a sinking fund to enable her to pay
it.
“MASTERLY INACTIVITY."
This was a phrase of Mr. Oalboun,
by which he wished to express the
truep ollcy of tbs South Id a former
poiltloal emergency. We think it
applicable to the present state of pol
itics and distraction of political par
ties. There is no doubt whatever
that a portion of the Republican
party will make war on their Presi
dent’s “Southern policy” when Con
gress meets. They do not yet acqui
esce In the withdrawal of
troops from the Southern States
and leaving them free to elect and
administer their own governments.
They well know that that is tho only
bond.which holds the Radical party in
political sympathy andoo-operatioo.
It has been their only common
ground of agreement for years, and
the only sentiment which prevented
open autagonism before this time on
other issues. For the sake of this
common principle (if sectloDul aril
mostly can be called a principle) they
have always avoided ruptures on
other measures by patching up some
temporary expedients, like their fi
nancial policy, their tariff system, &c.
But the Republican party is not
agreed in reference to these things,
and without agreement upon a
“Southern policy” it cannot longer
repress the smothered antagonisms
that have heretofore been held In
abeyance.
There Is no danger that the
Republicans In Congress will be
able to enforce the “Southern
policy” which Hayes has dis
carded. Fortunately the Democratic
strength in both branches is so great
as to require but little Republican
help to sustain the President in his
course. But Butler, Blaine & Cos.
may be able to rally a majority of
their own party in opposition aad
to control the organization of the
party. In that event there will be a
largo Republican element left inde.
pendent and free to stand with the
Democrats on this Issue, and to
unite with them on any policy as to
other great questions. The true
course for tho Democratic party to
pursue, then, is to let the Republi
cans make their own fight and estab
lish their divisions on Hayes’ South
ern policy, and then, availing them
selves of help resulting from Repub
lican disorganization, proceed to
deal in a broad national and conserv
ative spirit with other important
measures claiming attention and set
tlement.
MOKE UKFIMTK.
If we may believe tho reports in
our dispatches of this morning, the
“powers” are approaching an under
standing as to the limits and results
of the war, and some of the sugges
tions made are rather significant.
Russia disclaims any intention or
seizing and holding Constantinople,
and says that the Dardanelles pas
sage is too important a one to the
commerce of the world to be con
trolled by any one power. If it is
thus Important, surely the Gibraltar
passage Is much more so, and this
fact comes up so naturally in consid
ering the force of Russia’s declara
tion about the Dardanelles, as to
suggest that she was giving a pretty
broad hint to England that tbe same
argument which forbade Russia to
occupy Constantinople ought to in
fluence England to evacuate Gib
raltar.
Russia is also reported as disclaim
ing any purpose to possess herself of
Egypt, and singularly enough, as if
to give point to Russia’s implied hint
about Gibraltar, we are told that
England is negotiating for the sov
ereignty of Egypt, as well as for the
control of tho Suez Canal. That
wily uud aggressive power, “upon
whosa dominions the sun never
sets,” may be preparing to act the
part of the fox in tho fable, which
stood quietly by aud witnessed the
fight between the lion and tho bear
over tho carcass of a deer until both
belligerents bad bocomo utterly ex
hausted, when reynard stepped in
and boro off the bone and fiesh of
contention.
But Russia’s reported intention to
demand a oession of Turkish territory
in Asia Minor must bo very uncom
fortable to England, however readily
she may of necessity aoquiesce in it.
If Russia seizes Erzeroum and holds
it, she has au open way to the Persian
Gulf, dewu the valleys of the Euphra
tes and Tigris, through a very fertile
but not easily defended region. She
thus makes considerable advance in
the policy of Peter the Great and to
wards the attainment of Russia’s tra
ditional amldtlon. This is an acqui
sition that will disquiet no other Eu
ropean power except England, and
we think it quite probable that Rus
sia from the very start contemplated
this as the most important result of
the war.

tonnty. At a.
Alexander City, Alabama, )
June 6, 1877. (
CUUor Times ; Alexander City is a
beautiful place, situated on the
Savannah & Memphis Railroad, in
Tallapoosa county, Ala. There are
eleven drf goods stores, which are
doing a very good business for the
season; two first-class drugstores,
well supplied-with medicines of all
kinds; one tin ehop, which manufac
tures tln-waro of every description ;
four retail whiskey shops—this is not
a very good time for them; four
blacksmith shops—the workmen all
seem to keep busy; two wood shops
—the workmen say they are never
out of employment.
There has been a drought of about
four weeks in this section, and every
thing is suffering very much for the
lack of rain. There are but little ap
pearances of rain at present. Wheat
crops are doing very well now. Some
time ago there was a great talk about
flies in the wheat, that injured it very
much, In spots. The heads are very
full, and I think will turn out more
wheat than is expected. Farmers
would come Into tho towns und cir
culate the news that they would not
make one-fourth of a crop of wheat,
and such talk as this has caused the
speculators to run up prices of flour
beyond the roach of the farmers.
Farmers, keep your wheat at home
tills year; don’t sell it to speculators;
if you have any to sell, sell it to your
neighbor who has failed to make any.
When yousell your wheat to the
speculators, they will ship It off, and
bring it back in flour, and make you
pay four times as much for it as you
sold your wheat for. By keeping it
at home you will have flour, and you
won’t be like the man who sold all of
nis wheat but a few turns, and when
this is out he will go to town and go
in a store and ask Mr. A or B "what
is flour worth to-day?” You won’t
have to pay the enormous prices that
are put on by the speculators. Wheat
will soon be ready for the scythe;
when it is reaped, then the threshing
machines will start; and then flour
will come down low enough for the
speculators to gather up all of the
surplus wheat at $1 per bushel; and
just as soon as they buy up all of it,
then flour will bo soid for about the
same as it is now. And then ask one
of them, “why is flour so high ?” and
his answer will be, “the war in Eu
rope has caused it to be so high.”
Oats are not very good. If we can
have u few refreshing showers soon,
we may save seed. Corn looks very
well, considering the drought; but it
is very small for the st,h day of June.
Cotton is also small, but it has plenty
of time vet to do well.

There seems to exist a marked dif
ference of opinion among the people
as to the action of the Commission
of Arbitration, selected by the can
didates. It Is insisted by Judge Pou
and Mr. Fontaine that the action of
that Commission, by which all the
force and effect of a nomination was
given to Messrs. Little, Ingram and
Peabody, was not in line with the
expressed will of the convention of
the party held May 19tb,at which, in
virtue of your office, you first pre
sided. Asa Democrat and a citizen,
I call on you to state which of the
contending sides is best carrying out
the wishes of the people as then and
there expressed.

This lady has been heaving small
cans of dynamite at Senator Blaine’s
enemies, and the afflicted are insis
ting that the fixed ammunition
comes from Senator Jim. In other
words, they assert that Blaine of
Maine is fighting behind Gail’s
breastworks. To those who kuow
both personally this is bosh. Were
Blaine possessed of the force of ex
pression that iu humor, sarcasm and
invective, is of the keenest sort iu
this little lady, he would have been a
terror to his enemies.
Gail Hamilton, as is known, is a
feme sole of a certain age who does
not "pretty much,” as they say in
Indiana, when she is in a state of re
pose. I hardly think she would
scare horses on the avenue, as
some of our female pen-dri
vers can; but she is not one to
make more than six susceptible
Yaukeesdie of love. But she is a
charming conversationalist, possess
ed of the toot to talk a good deal with
her ears. She not only listens with
apparent interest, but she adroitly
leads her victim to talking on sub
jects in which he is at home—gener
ally himself. It is a study to see
Miss Hamilton at a dinner party,
seated next some old legislative duf
fer, and note how she helps him
mount his hobby. Once on and
away goes the 1. and.
I said to her one night after a din
ner of this sort, “Oid Pig-iron Kelley
says you are the most brilliant con
versationalist he ever encountered.”
"And I pledge you rny word of
honor,” she replied, smiling, “that I
have not uttered five words in two
hours. My briiliant conversational
talent consists in listening with in

which you know means himself.’

A sVkfCH AT THE HOT BPKINfIS-HAYES
4NO UIS POLICY ENDORSED.
The following Is an extract from a
speech recently made at the Hot
Bprings by General Robert Toombs:
“ Ido Dot like the principles of the
present so-called Dt-uiooratio party,
but I like less the principles and
practices of the Republican party.
The Democratic party have not bad
recently any chance to have an>
practices at all, and they took the
best they could get, and that was had
principles. Hayes got in, not by his
own act-he is there by the folly or
incapacity or the present Democratic
party. Hayes is President de facto.
I (>aid little attention to bis
promises, but bo has taken bis post
and carried them out. He has tfone
all that Tllden eottld have done so
far as Louisianla aud -South Caro
lina are concerned. He has given
them back that heart of great prlep,
tie tins given back that jewel, that
life blood of good government, which
makes ad else possible—Slates self
government. He has brought back
the ark of the government and
placed It where it belongs. He lias
commenced civil service reform ; he
has ordered his officers to turn out
had men aud to turn out useless of
ficials who feed upon the people as
droues in the hive; and I ap
plaud him for these tilings. 1
will approve of whatever good
he aoes and will condemn
whatever he does of evil. This is ihe
duty of every patriot, Is it uot time
that we should sink the partisan iuto
the patriot? The South never sought
any pecuniary advantage from the
Government of the Uuited Siat.es;
she ought to seek none now. I was
in Congress seventeen years, aud in
my own District in Eastern Georgia,
and I say to you now that I never got
a dollar out of the Treasury for one
single spot In that Ll3trlet. I was
not sent there to steal. Every dollar
taken from the Treasury fur one par
ricular locality is uu injustice to the
rest of the country; und I can tell
you, to the glory of my constituents,
that In the seventeen years of in\
public service in Congress no man
in Georgia asked me to do it.
"We have a grand country our
selves—a goodly land, a maguiileent
heritage, all that a good man need.-,
iu this world. We can be quite proa
porous und happy if we will stand
by the old landmarks aud sustain
good progrees. Let us baug our
banners on the outer walls, neither
chagrined by defeat, disheartened by
desertion, nor overawed by defeat.
Let us display a magnanimity as
great as tho conflict—all then will
be well for us and our children
and our ohiidreii’scnildren, ’till time
shall be no more.’”
’Water In me WnlMit.Vrw Hnues.
Popular Science Monthly.]
I need uot call to your mind tbe
first steps iu a buildiug operation,
aud bow soon u couuecttou is made
with some abundant source of water,
and that a great deal of water is re
quired for muking the mortar, etc.
Let us now try to come to au esti
mate of this quantity of water.
Suppose that 100,000 bricks were
used for a building, each weighing
ten pounds. A good brick can suck
up more than ten per cent, of its
weight in water, but we will put
down at five per cent what gets into
it by the manipulations of the brick
layer. We will assume that the
same amount of water is contained iu
the mortar,a quant.t/ certainly mm h
understated, although the mortar
forms ouly about oue-fifth of the
walls; we have thus about 100,000
pou mis of water, equal to 10,000 gal
lons, which must have left the walls
of the house before It becomes hab
-1 table.
The two principal ways in whiob
wet or damp walls are injurious are:
1. By impeding ventilation aud diffu
sion of gases, through their pores
beiogclosed upornarrowed by water;
2. By distut bittg lite heating economy
of our bodies. Damp walls act as
bodies abstracting beat iu one direc
tion ; they absorb beat by their evap
oration, and act like rooms which
have uot beett warmed thoroughly;
they are better conductors of heat
than dry walls, just like wet gar
ments, aud considerably raise out
heat losses by a one-sided aud iu
ereused radiation. Diseases which
are known to be often caused by cold
are particularly frequent in damp
dwellings, rheumatism, catarrh,
chronic Bright’s disease, etc.
What can we do to get rid of that
immense quantity, of these lo.ouu
gallons of water before we remove
into the new house? All this water -
we cannot make it luu off, we cannot
squeeze it out, we cannot boil it, awttv
-it most take its leave iu a very safe
but rather long way, that of sponta
neous evaporation into and by the
air.
The capacity the air for receiv
ing water depends on the different
tensions of the vapor of different
temperatures, on the quantity of
water already contniued in the air
flowing over a atoist body, aud final-,
ly on the velocity of that air. For
the first two momeuts let us assume
the average temperature to be about
50 degrees Fahrenheit., and the aver
age hydrometrio condition of the
air to be 75 tier cent, of its lull satu
ration. Under these conditions, one
cubio foot of air can take up four
grains of water, in the shape of
vapor, but us K contains already 75
per cent, of these four grains, which
amounts to three grains, it can ouly
take tip oue additional grain. As
often, then, as one grtdn is contained
in the lti.ikHJ gallons of water men
tioned above, as many cubic feet of
air must, come in contact with the
uew walls and become saturated with
the water contained in them; or
about 700,000 cubic feet of air are re
quired to dry the building in ques
tion.

Bruce granted an order of sale of tbe
