Ik his recent speech. Senator Mor
gan, of Alabama, said he would not
vote a dollar tor building levees if
every friend he had lived on the
banks of the Mississippi. He did not
believe in tearing down the Govern
ment in order to build up those
levees. Hence he should vote for the
bill reported by the committee,
which confined the use of the
money to the improvement of the
navigation.
A young man in Woburn Mase.,
was ambitious to go into business
for himself. He was employed in a
hardware store. He was very eoo
nomicalandattentivetoduty. Every
night betook something homo in a
lunch basket, and by persevering
succeeded in the space of a year in
Stealing enough to start a little store
of his own in a near village. At last
he became bold enough to attempt
to get aw.iy with a red-hot stove.
He is working in the state prison
now, and his clothes are striped.
There is no moral to this, and no
other young man need think that he
can be caught, should he conclude to
set up on capital obtained in the
same way.
The strikes in the North still con
tinue. The laboring people are rest
less and dissatisfied, and are firm in
their demands of an increase of
wages in some cases, and in their re
sistance to a reduction of wages in
others. It is estimated that these
troubles will attract to the manufact
uring communities a large immigra
tion of Canadian workers—male and
female—some estimate tnat it will
reach 30,000, unless the native people
keep their places. Canadian labor
ers, however are objected to because
they only come for the money to be
made and when that is realized they
go with it back to their own country.
They do not naturalize, nor vote at
elections, hence they are less valua
ble politically to employers, than the
natives.
pel. I TIC AL GRAND JLRIEM.
We take from the leading editorial
column of the Columbus limes, of
Tuesday, the following extract;”
"Borne weeks ago the grand jury of
one of the counties in the judicial
circuit of Judge Crisp embodied in
their report a recommendation of
that gentleman for Congress in hie
district, and we now have the grand
jury of warren county following in
the same line, and in their report
made a few days ago recam mended
Judge Pottle, another presiding
udge of the Superior Court for Oon
greas in the Eighth District. It is
perhaps well enough to allow grand
juries the widest liberty in their ef
forts to promote the public good, but
we cannot exactly see the propriety
of their canvassing the fitness of men
for office, embodying their conclu
sions In that direction in their gene
ral presentments.”
“For having made a somewhat
similar comment on the action of the
grand jury in Lee county, one of the
editors of the Times, in a letter from
Butler, county, charged us with ma
king a “malicious” assault upon
Judge Ciisp, a gentleman tor whom
we entertain a high regard, and with
whom we are on the most agreeable
terms."
The editorial of the Telegraph,
which was referred to in our Butler
letter, while it criticised with severi
ty the action of the Lee county grand
jury, contained what appeared to ns
a most extraordinary charge, that
Judge Crisp was responsible for it.
Successful Mechanical School.
The manual training school estab
lished two years ago in St. Louis has
passed beyond the stage of experi
ment, and its founders regard it as a
satisfactory success. The site, build
ings, tools and machinery of this
Institution, which has for its alm the
dual culture of head and hand, are
the gifts of public spirited citizens
who have the welfare of the coming
man at heart. All the machinery of
the shops in the school is driven by
a fine Corliss engine of 14 inch
cylinder and 42-lncb stroke, running
at sixty five revolutions par minute.
The study of steam and its manage
ment is part of the curriculum.
Among the subjects ot instruction
are tree hand and mechanical draw
ing, followed by architectural and
techical drafting; also blacksmith
ing in all its detals, carpentry
and joinery, wood carving, wood
turning, pattern making, bench
work and fitting, turning, drilling,
planing, planing screw cutting,
etc., and the putting together ot
parte. No attempt is made to teach
actual trades nor to make a good
mechanic out ot every pupil, but a
course in each shop is required of
every boy. No job work is under
taken. and no revenue is sought
from the sale ot the products of the
school. The course covers three
years and the time is about equally
diyided between books and tools.
This institution, young as it is, has
already outgrown its large thiee
story buildings, and a movement is
on foot to enlarge its facilities so as
to provide two hundred and forty
more students with two hours daily
instruction each. It is sai l that
these enlargements will not more
than accommodate the applications
for admission, so widely popular has
the school become,

HEALTH, AND MR. STEPHENS’ HEALTH

i TO REMAIN IN PUBLIO LIFE.
Special Dispatch to The Constitution.
Washington, April 27.—Since The
Constitution announced, on good au
thority, a few weeks ago, that Mr.
Stephens bad determined to retire
from public life, he has been con
stantly receiving from friends here
and in Georgia remonstrances against
such a resolution. As the guberna
torial campaign approached, without
taking any definite shape, these im
portunities have increased until now
every day brings its supply. To-night
I said to him:
"Mr. Stephens, the people of Geor
gia do not seem disposed to allow you
to retire.”,
“I don’t know,” said he. “I re-
ceive a great many letters on the sub
ject, more I think than I ever re
ceived on any question before. They
come from my owndistriot and from
others, and from all parts of the
Stale. They come from organized
Democrats, from new movement men
and from Republicans.”
“What is the tenor of those let
ters?" I asked.
THE MAN FOB THE TIMES.
“They do not insist so much on my
returning to Congress as on my ma
king the race for Governor. They
urge me for many reasons to do so.
They seem to believe that certain
troubles are threatened, which I
might 'assist in averting, and that
some dissensions exist in the Demo
cratic party which I might help to
heal. In fact, I have been assured
by men on whose judgment I can
rely that there is a general wish
among the people of Georgia that 1
should be a candidate for Governor.”
“How have you answered these
letters and assurance?”
“How could I, except as I answer
ed a friend who wrote the other day
and asked me If my resolution to re
tire was irrevocable and inexorable?
I wrote him that I thought no public
man had a right to say that. He
ought to be at all times at the com
mand of his people, if it lay in his
power to serve them.”
“What would prevent you from an
swering a call of the people to the of
fice of Governor?”
“A greet deal depends on my
health. I am an old man, and
though I have been long in public
life, my happiest and most profita
ble years were those that pissed be
tween my resignationin 1859 and the
beginning of the war. My sincere
purpose was to retire from public
life at the end of mv present term in
congress, but I cannot tell what
shape things may take. It may be
my duty to continue the public labors
I would have lain down for peace of
private life.”
A SUPPOSITION ANSWEBED.
“Suppose your health continues
about as it is now, and there is a
general wish to have you enter the
gubernatorial canvass, will you not
deem it your duty to do so?"
“With my present state of health
there is no imperious reason why I
should not. When I resigned, in
1859. I expected to spend the rem
nant of my days in private life, but
there was a demand from my people
that I should go to Montgomery to
the Provisional Congress, and I
thought it was my duty to go and
serve them the best I could, though
I foresaw the dark days surely com
ing.”
The stream of visitors constantly
pouring into the great Georgian’s
room here interrupted tne conversa
tion. As to bis health, if I were to
judge by appearance, I should say
he was as well to-night as when I
saw him 22 years ago stumping Geor
gia with Stephen A. Douglas.
THE BIVEB AND HABBOB BILL.
Georgia will not get as much in the
river and barbor bill as she asked,
but more than she ever got before at
one time. Savannah will httve $200.-
000; Brunswick falls far below her
expectations, and ge’s only $20,000.
Mr. Olemants, by the most untiring
perseverance, has succeed in bagging
$83,000 |for the Coosa, $23,000 more
than it received last year. In spite
of Judge Buchman’s devoted labors,
no appropriation is made for the up
per Chattahoochee, and $20,000 only
for the lower Chattahoochee. The
Flint and Ocmulgee rivers will get
abaut the usual amounts. But for
the concerted efforts of the delega
tion and Major Wheaton and Major
Warren, Savannah would have been
left with only SIOO,OOO. Efforts to in
crease the appropriations by amend
ments in the house will be made, but
with poor chances of success.
mb, Hammond’s speech.
Mr. Hammond’s argument in the
Lynch-Chalmers’ case to-day was
very highly complimented and pro
nounced the ablest speech of the de
bate, and clearly demonstrated the
law to be on Chalmers’ side. The
Republicans listened like men of
stone. They will not answer the ar
gument, but will stolidly proceed to
carry out the programme. Tucker
and Carlisle will conclude the debate
for the Democrats. They will hardly
keep up the dilatory proceedings
long, and before Saturday night Gen
eral Chalmers, probably, will be
ousted.

BELMONT VS. BLAINE.
The Young New York Congressman
Seeking to Force a Duel.
Special to Poll-Appeal,
Washinton, D, C., April 28.—Much
excitement was created last night
when it was discovered that Hon.
Berry Belmont, of New York, had
called upon M. C. Butler, of South
Carolina, to act as his friend in the
affair with ex-Senator Blaine.
The matter was discountenanced
at once by Senator Butler and other
Democratic managers. Belmont is
not satisfied and threatens to re
sign from the committee before
which Blaine is testifying. The in
dications this morning are that there
will be no blood shed.
COLUMBUS, GA., SATURDAY MORNING, APRIL 29.1882.
MR. BLAINE BEFORE THE COM
MITTEE.
I
A Sharp Round With Mr. Belmont.
Mr. Belmont—As I said before, I
• prefer to not to enter into a disouss
' ion now.
Mr. Blaine—l am not here for dis
cussion. I am here for examina
tion.
Mr. Belmont—But you sav that it
is a free translation.
Mr. Blaine—You simply put words
in my mouth there which I never
uttered.
Mr. Belmont—l do notthink any
thing of the kind. ’*
Mr. Blaine—Then you are incor
rectly reported.
Mr. Belmont—l think that I am
correctly reported; but I think it
preferable to wait until my turn for
examination comes, and then I will
explain what I mean.
Mr. Blaine—l only maintained
that you are quoting language that I
never used.
Mr. Belmont—lt is not necessary
to say so at present. I will say what
I mean when the time comes.
Mr. Blaine—On page 122 of the tes
timony Mr. Balmont again quotes
me as says in my dispatch of August
4 that “no treaty of peace between
Chili and Peru shall be made unless
there is a recognitich of Landreau’s
claim as a prior lien upon any terri
tory which Peru might be required
to cede to Chili. lam at a loss to
find any such language in my own
dispatch. I merely notify Mr.
Belmont so that he can at the proper
time show where it exists.
Mr. Belmont—Certainly. As there
were no courts in Peru at that time,
I considered that the claim could not
be adjudicated; but of course all
these questions will come up later.
Mr. Blaine—Yes. All I objected to
was that, you putin quotation marks
and attribute to me language which
I never used.
Mr. Belmont—So far as quotation
marks go, that is a mistake.
Mr. Blaine—Then you do not at
tribute that language to me?
Mr. Belmont—l say that the quo
tation marks are probably a mis
take.
Mr. Blaine—Do you mean to say
that you attribute that language to
me as being U9?d by me or as being
quotable from my despatch?
Ma. Belmont—l mean this
Mr. Blaine interrupting—l do not
care to know what you meant. I
want to know whether you attribute
to me the language which is put in
quotation marks as included in my
despatch.
Mr. Belmont—l have already told
you I did not put these words in quo
tation marks.
Mr. Bliine—Of course you did not
set the type up. You need not ex
plain that to me. But they are print
ed in quotation marks, and, of
oour«», ihny were Bet according to
copy; did you see the proof?
Mr, Belmont—l did not.
Mr. Blaine—Have you ever rea l it
since it was reported?
Mr. Belmont—lt I have nt all, it
has been very carelessly.
Mr. Blaine—l ’fl think so, if
you attribute tune'll iguage that I
never used.
Mr. Belmont—l do not think it
necessary to continue (n this line. I
shall not attempt to make any an
swer to Mr. Blaine’s Implications
further than this: The report of my
examination is apparently correct.
The quotation marks I am not re
sponsible for. The meaning of my
question lam responsible for. What
I mean to sav in it is t his: That ac
cording to Mr. Blaine’s dispatch of
June 15 there are no courts in Peru;
that the country is in a state of dis
solution ; and, therefore, unless this
claim is first adjudicated there shall
be no treaty of peace.
Mr. Blaine-No, sir; there is noth
ing -like tbut in the dispatch and
nothing can be distorted into it.
Please do not read from your notes,
but from mv dispatch, which I will
furnish to you, I beg you to show
me anything of that kind in it, or
any shadow of it, or any resemblance
to it, or anything that can be distort
ed into it.
Mr. Belmont—l was taking the two
dispatches as a whole; and therefore
I said that I think It much prefera
ble, both for the witness and for each
examiner, to wait until certain ques
tions come up, and then I shall be
willing to enter into their discussion.
Mr. Blaine—l .wrote to Mr. Tree
oott to disabuse the mind of the
Chilian government of any impres
sion that the United States meditated
an intervention beyond the use of its
good offices, and Mr. Belmont says
that “on the 15th of December Mr.
Blaine wrote his last dispatch to
South America, in which he says, In
effect, that there shall ba no treaty
of peace without the recognition of
the Landreau claim.”
Mr. Belmont—l say “in effect.” I
say so still. I hold that my infer
ence is a correct one.
The further examination of Mr.
Blaine was postponed till 10 o’clock
on Wednesday,

Tyudal’s Opinion of Darwin.
/Yow his Address to the British Association, Au
ffust 19, 1874.
Darwin for twenty-two years pon
• dered the problem of the origin of the
species, and doubtless he would have
. continued to do so had he > t found
■ Wallace upon his track. A -nncen
trated, but full and powerful . pltome
of his labors was the consequence.
' * * * Mr. Darwin shirks no dlffl-
■ culty; and, saturated as the subject
was with his own thought, he must
have known better than his critics
the weakness as well as the strength
of his theory. * * * He takes no
pains to disguise the weakness he has
discerned ; nay, he takes every pains
to bring it into the strongest light.
His vagt resources enable him to
cope with objections started by him
self and others, so as tolleave the fl nal
impression upon the reader's
mind that it they be not com
pletely answered, they certainly are
not fatal. Their negative force being
destroyed, you are free to be influ
enced by the vast positive mass of
evidence he is able to bring before
you. This largeness of knowledge
and readiness of resource render Mr.
Darwin the most terrible of antago
nists. Accomplished naturalists have
leveled heavy and sustained criti
cisms against him—not always with
a view of fairly weighing his theory,
but with the express intention of
exposing its weak points only. This
does not irritate him. He treats
every objection with a soberness and
thoroughness which oven Bishop
Rutler might be proud to Imitate,
surrounding each fact with its ap-
propriite detail, placing in its jprop
er relations, and usually giving it a
significance which, as long as it was
kept isolated, failed to appear. This is
done without a trace of ill tamper.
Ho moves over the subject with the
passionless strength of a glacier; and
the grinding of the rocks is not al
ways without a counterpart in the
logical pulverization of the objector.
But though In handling this might
theme, all passion has been stilled,
there is an emotion of the intellect
incident to the discernment of the
new truth which often colors and
warms the pages of Mr. Darwin.
His success has been great; and this
impliesnot only the solidity of his
work, but the preparedness of the
public mind for such a revelation.
Persecution in South Carolina.
Baltimore Sun,
The remarkable spectacle is pre
sented in South Carolina of the Gen
eral Government waging a war on
special grounds against persons of
the opposite political parly. The
frauds which occur at every election
in New York, Indiana or Calafornia
are not looked into. There is no sec
tional animosity to prompt it in those
States. Nor were the notorious
frauds perpetuated annually in South
Carolina prior to 1876, in the interest
of the party to which Attorney Gen
eral Brewster belongs, closely scru-
Bentzea t»y tne v mu>u .■states vouilb.
No crusade was then waged to pre
serve in South Carolina the absolute
purity of the ballot box. The result
was then satisfactory, and when the
attention of the officials at Washing
ton was called to the means em
ployed to carry elections in favor of
the Republican party, the easy an
swer was : “The Government is not
more called upon to interfere in
South Carolina than elsewhere; there
are frauds In every State and we do
not interfere; why should an invidi
ous distinction be made?”
The reasoning is different now.
Someboody elea’s ox is being gored.
The alleged frauds of to-day are sup
posed to be committed in the interest
of the party in opposition, and they
are consequently viewed with the
yirtuous indignation of a person
whose native State has never been
the scene of frauds more flagrant
but less investigated. It is of course
right and proper that fraud at the
polls should be punished every
where. It is the invidious discrimi
nation which prompts vigor on the
part of the Attorney-General in one
State only that converts a prosecu
tion into a persecution, and excites
deeply felt indignation throughout
the country. fUnder the forms of
justice a general wrong and hurt to
the sentiment of a whole people is
done. Even if the parties accused are
guilty, t heir punishment in one State
under a law not enforced in twenty
other States is substantial injustice
and against good policy.
