Enough ha* been developed in
Ihe investigation of the “cipher
dispatches” to show, beyond a
doubt that the organized demur
racy attempted to buy the elec
twral vote of South Carolina,
Honda ami Louisiana. If the
people wish 1* run a government

these organized parties overboard
Judge W. B. Fleming has been
nominated in the first emigres
-ional district to dll the unexpir
ed term occasioned by the death
of Julian Hart ridge.
Ike Columbus speaks
cheerfully of Columbus aud its
growing business. The cotton re
ceipta of this year are largely in
excess of the last, and slightly
surpassed by only two cities in
Georgia—Atlanta and Augusta.
The factories are running to J
their full capacity and Had ready
-ales for all their productions,,
consuming some 12,000 boles of!
cotton and more factories are in
process of construction.
We welcome among out ev
changes *Th Peoples I'kainpiotf
published at .Madison, Ga„ bv J.
K. Shecut. It is a handsome I
•licet but above all we admire
it as another offshoot of political
independence in Georgia. North
Georgia took the lead in freeing
the people from the shackles of
riug tricksters and it is gratifying .
to see so many aide papers in
middle Georgia entering the lists
against the tyranny >f party eli
ijues and combinations. Let the
movement go on and the people
of Georgia will be free tram cor
rupt parly domination in 1880.
Hie Dalton Headlight "ha* a
table of two frogs, elevated, by
climbing over the heads ol* the
multitude of frogs, to the branch
*■* of a live where they had e\ pry
Thing to supply their wants, and
where they lived for a long time
growing fat and saucy. But. in
time, the branches of the tree de
cayed-storms came and they fell,
and, like Lucifer, they fell -never
to rise again.* In vain their ass*
•dates gathered around and at
tempted to raised them : other
frogs were on the perch aud --the
sceptre had departed from Indah”

what too partisan—it reflects the
highest credit upan journalism.
Senator Hill itt li is recent
speech on the Mltehel ease in the
Senate laitl down a platform for
the democratic parly; “payment
of no war claim*, loyal *r dielov
al-no more appropriations, in any ,
shape, for monopolies; the pay ,
meat of every dollar of the pub 1
lie debt in good money; honesty ,
and economy in the administra
tion of government,confining it to
it*- limited powers and leaving,'
the State* to their reserved &>•-
c,reign powers."
, Mr. Hill mnv very well doubt!
* *
f t he acceptance of his platform by i
the party. The great “organized” i
on both sides.kave but one main
object in view.—the control of 1
the government—and neither of
them at this stage of the gutaeis
going to hamper iuelf with polit
ical crotchets that may endanger
success. Eaolt will frame a plat
form to suit the occasion ;ns well
i
■ as it can judge.
His objection to the payment
of war claims, if on the ground
that there are thousands in the
South who opposed secession
and were net disloyal, entitled to
payment, most of whom will
never apply to congress and
many are not able to apply, it is
unjust to tax these, who aratpaor,
to pay those who are nbletahnve
their claims passed through con
gress.
One of the objections urged by
the representatives of Califor
nia to Chinese immigration was
that they are pagans and would
not assimilate with Christians.
Another objection was that they
can live on less and labor for less
than would sustain the most hum
ble American laborer. Such ob
jections have weight, but are
not without answer; the only ob
jection to which there can be no
answer, in a republic considering
♦ heir influx, is the fact, that they
remain devoted to their own Em
pire and can never a stimulate,
politically with other systems of
government , aud CncU Stun lias
no desire to see California an ap
pondage of the’Chinese Empire.
Matt Carpenter hud a brilliant,
popular reception in Washington
recently, but a writer thinks it
was significant only of “the man
mi horseback*’ to whose fortunes
Carpenter is devoted. The writer
says:
•*Jt was noticeable, too, tha* all
those who figured prominently
in to-night's demonstration were
Grant men. In the hotel lobby
the Maine of the -old man,” as
lie is endearingly called here,
was on many lips. It was like
wise noticeable that not a single
member of the Wiucoitsiu dele
gallon in congress honored the
blow-out with his presence. As
a whole the demonstrtaion was to
say the least flattering to some- ,
body ; but whether Carpenter or
(•rant was meant to be the hero
of the occasion, those who foot
the bills can only tell. To still
further boost “the man on horse
back." there is a movement,
brewing to give Chandler astuu
ning reception oh his arrival here
with his Senatorial Corn mission.
It will far eclipse tonight's effort,;
will lie more elaborate and bang
up, interspersed with more chin
ning about the necessity of a ,
strong government, etc. Logan !
will also be handsomely treated,
and of course all those sponta
neous eruptions mean one for
those who receive them and a
dozen for the silent man. The
teal Crant mevment has begun in
Washington, and the furor is to
be kapt up by using some con
venient itroxv until “the old
man.’* iu his own good time, re
turns to bis native healh.”
The Fret Ert*t speaking ol the
prospective candidates for Gv
ernor of Georgia says:
It may be (Ten. Toombs. Gen.
Wofford, Judge A. It. Wright; or
it may be Judge Johnson, or Gen.
Gartrell if lie is brave enough to
put himself outside of the ring
rule ami autocratic democracy.
We think the people are alnml
determined to think and act Im
themselves. Once aroused, we
know they will do both. That is
i true ami genuine democracy. It
! is only the democracy left worth
I contending for. It i# the only line
TilK FIRM) AM FIRESIDE—MARIETTA. (GA.) 1111 RSDAV, EEBIU ARY DL D>7tb
of principles that will perpetuate
truly democratic government, h
in ths only democracy that tri-
Qinphauty succeeds in behalf of
free government, ft i* the demo
cracy of the people.
The go-called “organized" de
mocracy, with its rings and cli
quea, combinations and shyster
ing, iias ceased to impress honest
minds with the semblance of true
democracy'. It has become a vast
machinery propelled by many
the people—in tiie interest, of t he
few. It has established a parti
sn aristocracy, and none can cu
ter the sanctum, sanctorum unless
capable j#f whispering the shib
boleth tftihe faithful few who are
admitted to close communion; or
in other words, undertstand the
true meaning of “you tickle me
and I’ll tickle you !” That sort
of democracy* however, has been
‘weighed in the balance and found
wanting.”
So we repeat, the true democ
I racy—we mean the rank and Jilt*
of the people—will fix the (jues
! tion as to who will be the next
! governor of Georgia. H i* true
i the newspapers, as a whole, will
be arrayed against the people in
1 this great struggle of establishing
■ true democracy against ring rule;
i but we hope there will be enough
5 of them sufficiently' independent
i to act for and with the people on
I the line of genuine and true
! democracy.
>So we do not yet know who w ill
ibe our next governor. We don't
| care so he is a true representative
;of popular interests and of the
people.
London, February 8. Quarantine
\ against the plague lias been order
ed in all Spanish ports.
A dispatch to the Times from
Vienna states that from fifteen to
twenty fresh cases of a disease
resembling the plague occur daily
iat Xonthia, Thessaly, and there
I is a great mortality from the same
: cause at Raslog.
I
IIOTV THK PL AO l’K OIUOI.N ATKIt.
London, Feb. 3.—The British
Medical Journal publishes the
following: The Vienna Medico
j cherwiqical Ventral Watt, of Jan
nary 24tli, states the origin of the
i pestilence in Russia as follows:
• A Cossack, returning from war
to Wetlianka, brought his lady
love a shawl, which was probab
ly a part of his spoil. The girl
were it two days and sickened
with all symptoms of the plague
and died. During the following
four days, the other members of
her family sickened and died.
| The disease spread rapidly, but
j the local authorities did not pay
any attention to it till half the in
I habitants of the village had died,
j and those remaining alive were
I unable to bury the victims. The
j epidemic had assumed Serious
I dimensions by the2sth of Novem
ber, but the Government wie
only informed of it officially mi
the 11 tli of December. Ten day s
further time elapsed before any
systematic or energetic means
! were taken for prevontiusr its
I spreading further.
The authorities have since then
: exerted themselves to the utmost
!to make up for lost time. As
| the only way of arresting the
disease is to prevent all commu
nications between the district s
where it reigns and others which
are healthy, a double cordon is
being formed, firstly, in the towns
and villages shutting off the
streets where the plague reigns
from the rest *f the pla e. and,
secondly, by siuroumling the
places with the troops, so that
nobedy is allowed to pass in or
out. Quarantines are also being
instituted on the borders of tlie
infected governments and are
strictly watched. The population
is said to take an active part in
p venting the crossing of the
salary line, which begins at
fiamvanwsk and runs upwards on
both borders of the Volga to
Batagnaska. Four quarantine
have been founded in Sarepta.
lrwaitowka, Otrada and Zaritzin.
A great drawback is the want
of medical men.
Hie panic in Russia is almost
incredible. Every class and sta
i lion in lite have petitioned for
the eutire cessation of all inter
course, even postal cotnimtuica
1 tiou, between the rest of Russia
and the V’olga. Letters sent from
Astrachan and Lcaritzin are not
received by the persons to whom
they are addressed. .Smite people
even refuse te take paper money.
. fearing the germ of the infection
might be com muni cat ml through
it.
M‘*Ht VKK‘ ,\l TION
London, Feb. B—The / an t
correspondent at Berlin, say -:
The Russian railway cars no long
er are admitted to German Ter
ritory. The export of grain for
Poland will suiter severely' from
this restriction. The Roumanian :
Government are discussing the
expediency' of prohibiting the i
transit of Russian provisions ;
sent to victual the Balkan army.
The Ru-'iah >anitary commission

line from all intercourse with ;
