The Garrard Bonds.
At IiihL (ho Garrard bonds arc on
nalo. Mr. Renfioc, tbo treasurer,
informs us Mint Iio has orders that
will coror the wliolc Usuo of the
bonds. Tills Is cortainly a triumph
for the state of Georgia that cannot
bo ovcroatimutod. There are three
cor|K)rntiottB on I ho continent of
America that are floating 4 per cent,
bonds, and they ard tho United States
government, tho city of Bostou and
the state of Georgia.
It is gratifying to note, too, that
tho bonds are being received univer
sally, as far as hoard from, as cur
rency. There can be no question of
tho constitutionality of this issue of
bonds, and they will provo a great
convenience to the general public.
They enlarge our currency without
inflat ing it. The bonds arc bonds in
tbo severest sense of the word, and
if there is anything illegal in them
tho illegality consists, as Mr. Xian ard
has aptly said, “in tho smallness of
tbo type and the size of the paper,”
We hope, therefore, to see them
freely tiled throughout tho state to
facilitate barter and trade. In any
ovont, howovor, tho experiments of
four per cents has proved a success,
and Georgia's orodit gods up to tho
vory highest point. And it drives in
tho wedge that will just split our
enormous interest account, square
half in two!—Atlanta Constitution.
The Republican party is sorely
bothered with tho negro. Tbo bal
lot was presented to him that ho
might reenforoo tho political strength
of tho Republican party. While this
Hot was being performed tho “party
bf humanity” put its greedy hands
in the negro’s pookots and stolo all
his money. Discovering that the
negro can not bo depended on to vote
.the Republican ticket, a leading Re
publican candidate for the Presidency
insists that ho shall bo disfranchised,
and 1ms been baokod by the party.
Tho latest Republican effort, to han
dle the negro question is tbo propo
sition of Senator Windom Intake the
negroes, bag and baggage, out of the
Southern States and plant them in
tho Northern Statos. Thou tho ne
gro appoars on tho scene ami ohjeots,
unions a wholo territory is given the
yuce, where they can bo all to them
selves and got rid of choir bogus Re
publican frionds. Tho Republicans
inay writ lie and groan over, this busi
ness, but they otui not dispose of the
negro in that way, Thoy might raise
a fund out of their own pockets to
put snob negroes as are willing to
leave the South in Mai no or Massa
chusetts or Michigan, but no Con
gress will vote u territory for tbo ne
groes or anything of the kind. Tho
negro has been given abundant facil
ities for making something of him
self, and where ho bus not boon in-
terforred with by tho Republican
thlovos and pseudo-philanthropists
in the South he has done well. In
Georgia, for instance, tho negroes
own $4,000,000 or $5,000,000 worth
of property, Tho negro will get
along vory woll in tho South if he is
treated bko othor American oilmens
in that section. Tho attempt, of the
Republicans to deprive him of his
ballot or her facilities for getting
property is shameful and unpardona-
. me, us is tho Republican effort to
make him an nssasin and moomliury,
and to keep him in a state of hostili
ty towards his host friends.—Courier

withering gonernl remarks lie takes
up the charges against him seriatim,
and refutes them utterly in every
word and in every syllable.
On tlicGlth hint, a most melan
choly tragedy was enacted in Atlanta.
Gob It. A. Alston and E. S. Cox got
into u dispute about a trade connect

which resulted in the former gentle-
man’s being shot to death and the
lat ter badly wounded and lodged in

has since been a pauper.
. Congress convened yostordny.
Some predict a very short session,
while others think it will be contin
ued far into the heated torm, and
still others who believe this extra
session will dovetail into tho regular
torm in Deccmbor.
Tho Republicans arc grooving

Atlanta Constitution: In a brief
conversation with Hon. Milton A.
Chandler yesterday the reporter learn
ed some interesting facts relative to
tho appropriations made at tho last
session of Congress to tho rivers and
harbors of Georgia. Tbo total
amount appropriated to tho improve
ment of rivors and harbors in the
country was about $G,000,000. Of
this amount loss than $300,000, or
one-thirtieth of tho wholo amount,
was received by thnjStuto of Georgia
for tho improvement of our rivers and
harbors. Tho chief appropriation
was $100,000 to the harbor at Savan
nah. All the Goorgia members fa
vored this item except Mr. Chundlor.
Ho says them wore ‘so many tilings
in the section that wore wrong that
he could not voto for it.’ This ap
plies to various intondori improve
ments on tho Savannah rivor near
the harbor. An appropriation of
$10,000 for tbo upper Savannuli rivor
failed in spite of strong efforts mado
by Mr. Stephens to mduco its pas
sage. It is said that bo was consid
erably chagrined at this failure, as
one of his jjot Congressional schemes
was defeated by it. Tho other ap
propriations foi improvements aro
the Georgia rivers referred to, the
Etowah, tho Clnittahooclioo, tho
Coosa and the Flint. Summing up
all the sums thus appropriated, the
total falls short of .$300,GQjjJby a good
deal. Our membors did all the)'
could at' Washington to securo
moro liberal appropriations to Stato
improvements generally, but that
they did so well is much to their
credit. Tho appropriations given to
tho rivers and harbors of the State,
if judiciously applied, will bo of grant
sorvioo. A\ o hope for more help to
carry out tho good work thus begun.
A Sight to Inspire tho Nations.
Baltimore Gazette.
Thera is no spectacle so grand and
classic as a stay-at-home republican
politician, fourteen years after the
war, kicking and pounding the ven
erable Jefferson Davis, and daring
somebody to defend him.
Tho Ticket to Win.
. Balnbrklgo Democrat.
Tildeu aud Hendricks for 1880 is
tho ticket that will win. The detn
ocratic party is bound by every prin
ciple of honor, equity and justice to
nominate, elect and place those gen
tlemen, at the head of the govern
ment.
Col. Blount’s Opinion.
James If. Blount represents the
sixth Georgia district: “His impres
sion is that his constituents person
ally preferred Mr. Thurman and
next Mr. Bayard. As he knew
nothing of the sentiments respecting
the claims of Mr. Tilden for the
renomination, he could not speak
with any degree of intelligence at
this time. It was, however, a moral
certainty that if the will of the party
required the renomination of Mr.
Tilden he would receive the unswer
ving support of the democracy of
Georgia.”—N. Y. Herald.
The Solid South.
E. S. Smalley in New York Tribune
The south is still a unit in senti
ment to a remarkable and discourag
ing degree. Find wlmt a Virginian
or a Georgian is thinkiug on any
question of national politics and you
need not ask what a Lousiunmn or a
Texan is thinking. If the question
has tbo slightest bearing on the pros
pects of tbo democracy for obtaining
full control of the government the
mountaineer on the Bltio Ridgo aud
the “tallied” of tho Carolina turpon-
tino forests will bo of one mitid with
the sugar-planter on the Mississippi
and the herdsmen on the Texas
plains. Not tho least progress 8eems 4
to have been made in the directiot
of disintegrating the intelligent clas
ses of the old sluve states. They arc
as solid to-day its they wore in the
midst of the rebellion.

Iii order to make Mic third term
boom still moro the organ of .the ltn-
plaeubles at Washington makes the
ustonnding statement that “the pro
position to pension maimed confed
erate soldiers was seriously talked of
by many republican loaders during
President Johnson’s administration
and tit that time was understood to
have received the hearty approval of
General Grant.” Mr. Ben Butler
will evidently have to invent some
new deviltry if lie expects to get
ahead of the third termers. After a
while wo shn.ll probably hear that
Grant was a fulLbloocled confederate
brigadier—as Butler clearly was.
The Extra Session. '
St. Louis Republican.
That session will be an interesting
ono. Tho bitter struggle, of which
we already bavo foreshadows, between
the two nearly balanced parties in the
liouso, will retard tho public business
and protract tho sitting, while every
thing done or omitted will bavo
direct reference to tho presidential
struggle in 1880/

“The Name of Mother.”
There are words that speak of qucucliless

Which hum in the hearts we cherish,
And accents that tell of a friendship proved
That will never blight or perish.
There are soft words murmured by dear
dear lips.
Far richer thau auy other;
But the sweetest word titat the ear hath
hoard
Is the blessed name of mother.
Oh, magical won) / may it uoverdie
From the lips that love to speak it;
Nor melt away from the trusting hearts
That even would break to keep it.
Was there ever a name that lived like this?
Will there ever lie such mother? *

For the luly name of mother /
