A Spaniard w'as recently gar roted in Madrid for attempting to assassinate the King. The crowd watched with eagerness any man ifestation of weakness or firmness in the ordeal of death, ready to condemn the one or applaud the other. There were a thousand brntcH in that crowd to the one garroted. Senator Thurman was to have spoken, last week, in Ohio, on '•Jacksonian democracy.’' hut in ■toad of hit* speech, wc have his fetter, and. as we supposed, his text was Jackson's devotion to the Union, as the palladium, not only of southern, hut of the rights of all sections. He speaks kind lv of the errors of those who fol i ,'j ed, to the hitter end, the Cal • ti<>H theory, and expresses the ait• \v they are now reclaim •"■r, s#* thoroughly devoted to f j A'hnian democracy, and the ‘•egrity of the Union. tfilden is said by some papers mi he ahead again ns the prospec tive candidate of the democracy. The organized of Georgia ate down on Ben Hill and insist that Colquitt shall succeed him a> l\ S. Senator. Others insist on run ning him again for Governor but "the Atlanta iiillueuce is decided ly for L. J.Gartrell. All the or ganixed journals deprecate the idea of Hr. Felton taking tlie field and earnestly hope that he will ho content with the Seventh District. Mr. Hill demands that the or ganized democracy he “purged." ••You niav may yln*t 1 ter the vase if you will, but the! scent of corruption will hang round it still," Cutout its rot tenness, and the patient will die. As the remedy proposed may af fect the ■•organized," it is worse i than the disease. With this. it. j lives; with that, it will die. A Washington letter speaking ol the Texas Pacific railroad bills now before congress,one in trod u ced by Mr. Stephens, the other in the interest of Huntington A Cos., and the Northern and Central Pacific roads, says, “the defeat of Mr. Stephens bill will he an in calculable loss to the great south :rn belt of’ tjie Atlantic States t l ( ‘ of which |k pjv’iitt'ifero run.

The New York Xation sktf. Tihrt’Ajoutli can effect ually accomplish this with a prop city or educational qualification; but, the reply is, that while the negro remains in the South and intelligence and property can control this great political force it is not going to abandon it. The evil was deliberately perpetrated and ii will he deliberately adher ed to until colonization or some other means work out the final solution. The letter of Senator Hill to ill* 1 people in relation to the Mur phy fee is unanswerable and in vites from honest people all the indignation lie evokes. We will give some of his points and lastly liis summary of the case. “It is not extravagant to say that the people of tlie United States pay as much today to sup port fraud and wrongs as they ought to pay to support honest government.'” “While taxes are heavier than ever before known,while millions of our people have been sinking to want and poverty, men holding public offices have been enriching themselves and their friends.” “Public offices are created sole ly for the public good and to use a public office for private gain is to pervert it from the purpose for which the office is established.” “Murphy held such au office subject to the Treasurer, who is subject to the Governor. He ac cepted the fee to influence the Governor,and if the Governor was not a sharer of the fee he should have removed at once the cor rupt official, when the facts were brought to his notice.” “Murphy committed a fraud on the office of the governor,and 1 re ported that fraud to the governor. Thereupon the governor treats Murphy as his friend, and de nouces me as his enemy ! Mur phv introduced into democratic Georgia the tirst known instance of that form of corruption which in other states and the federal government, has done and is do ing more than all other forms of corruption to disgrace our politics to impoverish honest people, to enrich official rogues, and to threaten our popular institutions with ignominious shame, rotten ness and ruin. Murphy boasts of his act and defends it; the gover nor excuses it; and I denounce it. On this issue the demand now is that Murphy shall be justified, the governor shall be sanctified, ansi 1 shall be immolated.” The Koine Coin in' was some what dumbfounded w ith our brief statement of historical facts, a bout which there can he no dis pute. We trust that it will learn in time, to distinguish an inde pendent freeman from a party vassal, and cease to class all men with one party because they re huke another. The Atlanta Phonograph charg es u< wi'h a lack of political prin ciple, because we are independ ent of and denounce both organ ized parties for being held to- THE FIELD AND FIRESIDE—MARIETTA, (GA.) THURSDAY, JANUARY Lb, ISTO getheij solely, by the cohesive power of the public plunder. Has the I’honograpb any politi cal principle ? If it has, trot it out for the benefit of the curious. We would like to examine it, to see if Horace Greely was its ex ponent !if a sound currency rep resents it! if Hayes’ local civil government speaks for it, or if it is embraced in the 13th 14th and 15th amendments? A few weeks since we publish cd our platform of principles— the platform of the Jackson De mocracy. Now,Senator Thurman comes forward, and coinmends Jackson Democracy to the conn try. If we should support Thur man for President it would not be because he is made a party nominee but because he in principle a true American Dem ocrat. Do you see ?" v\f both parties should disband and the people should elect such a man by acclamation.we would be suit ed exactly. Rev. Mr. Talmadge is dissect ing the social, moral and politi cal whited sepulchres of the land and last week, commenced his .ex posure of Washington city, where he says there are two thousand grog-shops and five hundred pro fessional gamblers, and members of congress and of the cabinet are found in these hells of infamy, “walking charnel houses, which nothing but tlie grave digger’s spade can clean the world of, fit only to die in a brothel, as more than one of them have died, and then some associate would rise up and move a eulogiuin!" As ana tion we had our birththroes m the revolution. The war of 1812 was our measles, and the war of 1860 our typhoid, and last Wednesday resumption settled the doctor’s bill. (Applause.) Great men are gteat only a little time. Where is the cabinet of Jefferson !—dead. Of Monroe ?—dead. Of Pierce ? j —dead. Of the cabinet of Lincoln all 1 can remember are dead but one, and he is as god as dead. Of the cabinet of Grant one or I more are worse than dead. What is political honor in this country? I It is the privilege of being away from home amid temptations which have slain the mightiest ; ©f being bored to death by ollice-j seekers; of being assaulted by! acrimonious envy and of sinking out of sight at the end with health and character gone. One senator dying in Flatbush asylum, idiotic j with dissipation ; another sitting on the curbstone in Philadelphia on a bitter winter night, with his , poor wife beside him trying to get home, but too drunk to re spond ; another in a drunken fit falls into the Potomac among the ice, but is lislied out and brought round—l venture to say that it was the first time ho ever came so near sc# muchVold water. Del aware had a senator whose chief characteristic was that lie was al ways drunk and Illinois was pos sessed of a famous rival. Oh, young man, before you enter into politics search and see it your morals are incorruptible. If not, stav where von are. A heavy snow storm visited Southern Ohio on Wednesday, extending as far south as JKich | mond, Kentucky. All trains were delayed, and at Mavsville i the snow was sixteen inches deep lin some places drifting to five I feet. Much loss of stock and dam age to business is apprehended. Neither Sheridan nor Pope ap prove the armv reorganization bill. i The Senate Committee on Fi nance heard Mr. Kaum, Commis sioner of Internal Revenue, in op position to pending House bill to reduce the on tobacco. The Commissioner claimed that the passage of the bill would entail a loss to the government annual lv of not less than $9,000,000 on cigars. Further consideration of the bill was postponed until to day. The hostile Cheyennes impris oned at Fort Robinson, Nebras ka, since October, having been informed that they would beta ken back to their reservation in the Indian Territory, became very sullen, and declared they would dio sooner than consent to such a move. They subsequently at tempted to escape, and jumping j from the windows ef the room in which they were confined, lied j across the prairie on tiie frozen snow, and fired on the guard, killing one and wounding four. The lire, was returned, and about forty Indians were killed. The United States cavalry are in pur suit. A destructive lire is reported in progress in Cincinnati. Loss already ascertained is SIBO,OOO, the greater portion of which is covered by insurance. On ac count of the extreme cold great difficulty was experienced in handling the hose. The New York Commercial the point that a ' mong other advantages resulting from resumption will be the in flow *f foreign capital “in con nection with commercial and fi nancial ventures of various kinds.' As an evidence of this it cites the fact that the Dutch East India Company has extended its op erations to this country and lias established an agency of the sort that this shrewd and careful company has established in A merica. The fact possesses more than ordinary significance and would seem to indicate that for eign capitalists have a strong faith in our future. Governor Bishop, of Ohio, re commends in his annual message the creation of courts of arbitra tion and conciliation, without cost to the State, as a means of pre venting strikes. The Legislature is invited to enact laws for the punishment f grave robberies, the protection of forests, etc. “The Graat Famine in Brazil." —Mr. Herbert 11. Smith, who is now in Brazil, collecting materi al for a series of papers on that interesting empire, to appear in Scribner's Monthley , writes as follows: “People in the United States know little about this great famine that is ingoing in the northeastern part of Brazil;! myself had no idea of its import ance until very lately. It is en ough to state that it affects at least one-fourth of the whole population of the empire; that hundreds are dying of starvation, and thousands of disease incident to exposure and insufficient food. In the city of Ceara, which will be my principal point of study, tlie normal population of 30,000 lias been swelled to SO,OOO by fu gitives from the drouth smitten interior country; and among this 80,000, the death rate lias reached the enormous figure of 300 per day. These drouths are periodical, occurring once in twenty or thirty years. It seems to me, therefore, that a study on the spot will be of very great im portance. It is entirely another side of Brazil from that which 1 have before seen and written of." The thermometer at Blooming ton, Illinois, during the recent severe weather, reached about as low a point as in any other sec tion of the west, sometimes go ing down as low as 35 degrees below zero. A late dispatch from there says : “The cold is playing sad havoc with game. Quail are picked up by the bush el in the fields and rabbits are found with their ears entirely frozen off. Hundreds of fat hogs have been smothered by droves piling up for heat.” The Burnside army bill will encounter vigorous opposition in both houses of Congress, on the ground that it will subordinate the War Department and even the President to the General el the army, and establishes a mili tary autocracy inconsistent with our institutions. A substitute for the bill lias been prepared providing for a reduction of the army, but not tilling vacancies other than by summary dismiss als or enforced retirements. The retired list is to be made as large as the necessities of the army re quire, and the supply of officers from West Point is to be cut oft. This bill places the army under the control of the Secretary of War, subject only to the orders •f the President as commander in-chief. It will probably be in corporated in the army appropria tion bill. The new French Cable Com pany lias been constituted. It proposes to lay two cables, one from Brest to Cape Cod, and tlie other from Land's End to Nova Scotia —both by the way of St. Pierre. Subscribe to Field and Fireside NEW FU B NITU B E STORE!
