\Yo cannot notice anonymous commu
nications, no matter how meritorious;
nor will manu B cript written on both aides
receive tiny attention. When it is de
sired to return communications that are
not used, stamps for that purpose must
be euclo9od. We are always anxious to
get news, and such information as is of
interest to the majority of our readers
will always be welcome.
Hon*. W. 1). Kelley, of Pennsylvania,
has introduced in Congress a bill to give
elasticity to the currency by the issuo of
convertible 8.06 per cent bonds, and pro
viding for a national free banking system.
It is said to bo gaining friends, though it
is considered very doubtful whether the
Senate, at least, will agree to any measure
which contemplates an inciease of the
volume of the currency.
Indian liver, says the Palatka Herald,
averages about two miles in width, and
has a navigable channel for a distance of
about fifty miles, from which point to
Jopitermoro or loss obstructions occur,
caubod by oyster and conch banks. The
river is so straight for one hundred and
fifty miles that a straight line drawn
through its centro would not touch oithor
bank. It is a beautiful river, and is skirt
ed ou either side by a variety of lauds—
hammocks, savannahs and piuey woods.
Mr. SherMan, of Ohio, addressed the
United States Senate, on Friday, in favor
of the contraction of the curreucy atid
the resumption of specio payments at an
early day. Iiis [dan of resumption wur
to “take some bond of the United States,
which in ordinary times is shown to bo
worth par in gold, end authorize tlio con-
verston of all notes into this kind of
bond.” Mr. Morton, of Indiana, replied,
opposing the convertible bond plan. No
other Senator expressed decided opinions
on that day
A correspondent of the Atlanta Herald,
writing from the City of Toccoa. in Hab
ersham county, on the Air-Liue Railroad,
gives a glowing account of the growth
and prospects of the town. Last June,
when the place was in the woods, small
lots sold for to $52, and they aro now
worth $250 to $800 unimproved. Now
there nro about liftoen store houses built
a fine hotel couiploted and another going
up, a town hall, livery stables, Ac , and
churches and schools about to be cstab
babel. Lands in the vicinity sold tw
years ago 40o. to $1.50 per aero, and are
now worth from $5 to $10 per acre. The
railroad caused this change.
Hon. A. H. Stephens has written to the
Augusta Constitutionalist a letter con
corning a late remark about him Attrib
uted to the lion. Jefferson Davis. The
reported remark of Mr. Davis, on hearing
that Mr. Stephens had said iu Augusta
that “ wo must take Cuba at once," was
“Well, 1 am glad Mr. Stephens is gotting
up to the fighting point at last." Mr
Stephens, in his lutter, says that ho does
not believe Mr. Davis made the ronmrk
and ho then goes on to explain liis viowi
about Cuba. Ho says that his remark in
Augusta was, that “ he was for Cuba im
mediately, if not sooner, 'and that ho did
not mo.in by this that the United Slat
should “ tako " Cuba, but only that our
Government should recoguizo the inde
pendence of “the republic of Cuba," and
not punish as felons our own citizens who
aro aiding in the deliverance of the island.
Wo quote from his letter to show how ho
would qualify any notion by our Govern
ment in that direction
“I was distinct in tho expression of
my opposition to wur with Spain ou the
part of tho United States, ovon for tho
deliverance of Cuba, as well as my oppo
sition to this Government’s doing any
thing that would justify Spain in going to
war against tho United States for what
they might do in tho promises.”
Tub report of Superintendent Fleming,
of the Alabama ami Chattanooga Railroad,
makes a very unpromising exhibit of its
business, past and prospective, and indi
cates that tho Stato of Alabama, by en
dorsing its bonds 6o liberally, has gotten
“an elephant on her hands.” Major
Fleming reports tho earnings of tho road,
from Nov. 1, 1872, to Nov. 1, 1878, at
$232,584, while tho*cxpeuses were $1,-
083,858. Ho thinks that tho earning can
not 1)0 relied upon either to place the
work in proper condition or to keep it in
operation for any great length of time.
He estimates tho present population along
tho line of tho road as only sufficient to
ftivo it earnings of $2,588 per milojpor an
num, nud says that the average gross
earnings of Southern railroads is $4,350
per mile. So he concludes that “tho A
und C. R. R. will yield no return upon
the investment, until completed and
equipped as a first-class railroad, and a
sufficient time thereafter has elapsed to
develop its mineral w ealth, and confidence
in restored iu its permanent operation.”
He estimates that it will require $1,500,-
000 tnoro to equip it as a first-class rail
road.
Tho Stato of Alabama certainly “paid
too much for the whistle" iu endorsing
tho bonds of the company building this
roaft to the amount of threo or four mil
lions of dollars.
Gen. .Grant is said to have made, on
Friday evening last, to a party of Repub
licans who called on him, some remarks
significant of his purpose to leave tho
Southern people free hereafter to manage
their domestic polities iu their own way.
The following is n report which dispatches
of Saturday give of his remarks :
“I begin to think that it is time for the
Republican party to unload. There has
been too much dead weight carried by it.
The sacoesa of our arms during the re
bellion and the confidence that the Re
publican party was strong enough to hold
up any burden, have imposed all the dis
affection in the Gulf States on the admin
istration. I urn tired of this nonsense.
THE THIRD NOMINATION.
We confess to almost utter ignorance
of tho services, antecedents and qualifica
tions of Gen. Grant’s third nominee for
the Chief-Justiceship, Hon. Morrison A.
Waite, of Ohio. No doubt a similar con
fession has been made by men who claim
for themselves a largo sharo of public
notoriety ; for, whatever may be his qual
ifications, Mr. Waito is certainly not a
man “whom not to . know argues ono’s
self unknown." Still ho may be a man
better fitted for the high position than
any of tho politicians to whom public ex
pectation turned after tho withdrawal of
Mr. Cushing. Even hU want of political
notoriety gives us hope that his nomina
tion will bo found one fit to be made and
to be confirmed. It is not in tho arena
of party politics or in legislative halls
that men’s minds are inducted into those
bnnuels of study and thought and train
ed to those habits of severe and impartial
analysis that fit them for tho highest judi
cial positions. Iu fact, activo participa
tion in the lulu party contests iu this
country must have rather disqualified
than fitted men for such positions.
It is at least gratifying and assuring to
us that Gon. Grant did not select an ac
tive and unscrupulous partisan for tho
Chief-Justiceship. While yielding to the
clamor agaiuat Cushing personally, he ap
pears not to have ministered to tho
spirit iu which tho clamor was raised. Ho
withdrew Cushing, but did not, as Cush
ing's opponents demanded, nominate n
man who had made a public record of his
determination to sustain upon the bench
all tho measures of the Government relat
ing to tho settlements of tho war and tl e
reconstruction of the Southern States. In
other words, Mr. Waito is not committed,
so far ns tho country knows, to the ad
ministration of tho supremo law of tho
laud and tho construction of tho Consti
tution in accordanco with tho views and
interests (if politicians, rather thun
jurist having for his guide tho settlod
priuciplos of jurisprudence and tho funda
mental law of the land. To secure an im
partial judiciary, we must havo judges
untrammelled by party and uncommitted
by prejudice, and if Mr. Waito is free iu
this respect, it is one great consideration
in his favor.

Tttllii**ce Factory—PropoaoU Com
promise.
During tho pust two days tho city has
beou full of excitement and minors over
tho terriblo failure of the Tullnssoo manu
facturing company. Various propositions
have boon made, and n vast amount of
violent speaking indulgod. There appears
to havo been threo separate nud'indepen
dent interests—first, tho old stockholders;
second, tho now stockholders; and, third,
tho creditors of tho Tullasseo company.
Tho denunciations by sumo of tho latter
of tho former, nro said to havo boon more
forcible than elegant. It was rumored
yesterday that a proposition had been sub
mitted by tho creditors to tho company,
represented by tho President and Board
of Directors, and that tho latter had
agreed to accept it. This proposi
tion seems to bo a good one for the cred
itors, but it is a hard oue on tho stock
holders, who will ultimately be able to
realize only about forty cents on tho dol
lar for their stock 1 It will bo especially
hard on tho new stockholders. This
agreement, as we learn, is somewhat after
this fashion: The Tullasseo factory is
valued at $900,000. Tho stock is to bo
limited to $ 1,100,000. Tho creditors nro
to tako stock at par for their debts—scal
ing the old stock so as to meet said in
debtedness. Josiuli Mortis is to bo ap
pointed trustee to run tho Tallassoo fac
tory for six months, or until tho settle
ment is made. There is to bo an auditing
board or committee, to bo composed of
Messrs. Sayre, Clopton and Herbort, to
whom nil churns against tho company
shall bo referred and audited.
It is supposed that, it will tako several
months to audit the claims, and until
they aro iu, the factory w ill bo run by the
trusteo for the joint benefit of all con
cerned. Tho new stockholders, wo un
derstand, aro practically left out of the
arrangement. If they go into this plan
of adjustment their stock is scaled to
forty or fifty conts in the dollar; if they
keep out, they have to get their rights at
tho end of u lawsuit. Wo havo not heard
whether any or all of them have made
their choice iu tho matter.
There aro any numhor of reports in
circulation. Somo are to the effect that
tho hooks at Tallassoo Factory show a
profit of $39,000, while the books hero
show au indebtedness of $750,000 ; that
some creditors, claiming $150,000, nro
shown by tho books to bo indebted to the
factory to the amount of $273,000 ; that
the indebtedness was created by watering
the stock aud borrowing money to pay
dividends ; that cotton futures are tho
cause of the trouble—and much more of
the same sort. But no thorough investi
gation of tho books has been had, and of
course nothing dotiuito eau ba known as
to tho cause of the trouble. All are ngroed
that tho factory has made money, but
what has become of it, is not so easy of
solution.
It was rumored, late last night, that
somo of tho stockholders would not con
sent to tho above agreement ; and if this
be so, tho ond is not yet.

One Thing the (•rmiK'orN have Done.
They have broken tho power aud com
binations of pork packers. They stalled
out the j»ast fall as they did tho fall bo
lero, to buy pork at about throe dollars—
expecting again to get double tho price
when they sold ns they did last year.
But tho grangers were too sharp for thorn
this time. They said, rather than sell at
theso low figures wo will pack our own
pork. So all over the West tho grangers
combined,{determined to pack unless they
could get what their pork was honestly
worth. Fork came in slow, not fast
enough to meet the demands of the pack-
ors. 'i ho grangers wont to putting up
their owu pork. The packers became
alarmed and thought they had better
make smaller profits, and so commenced
offering higher prices. The grangers
were firm, resolute and insisted ou fair
prices, aud the packers were compelled to
pay them. The result is, perk to-day is
worth from $4 25 to $5 75 per huudred
instead of $3. The farmers have tri
umphed over the combinations to wrong
men. Millions more of dollars have been
saved to them thau otherwise would havo
been. They needed the money, aud havo
got it. They were entitled to it, and
have got only what was their due. The
farmers cau combiue ou a larger and
grander scale than any other class, when
it becomes necessary.—St. Louis Hural.
What the Red Sea Fish Thought.—
“There is u tendency iu these days,” said
Beecher in a recent * evoning s sermon,
“to account naturally for the passage of
the Children of Israel through the Red
Sea. Now, I like these old stories, aud I
SPEECH OF GENERAL RORDON,
Oil the Financial Problem.
Washington, January 20.— Mr. Gordon,
of Georgia, said :
When, in an agricultural country like
tho United States, the cultivation of the
soil ceases to bo remunerative ; when its
profits, year by year, are absorbed by
others than the tillers of the soil ; whtAi
the producers grow poorer and poorer,
aud tho non-producers rich ; when wealth
concentrates in tho hands of a few, then
there is a fundamental error iu onr finan
cial system. When, in an agricultural
country like ours, au inconsiderable num-
of citizens possess the power to divert
from tho ordinary channels of trade a
sufficient amount of tho circulating me
dium to raise prices and esaae panics,
there is some radical wrong. Or, when
the price paid for the use of the circula
ting medium is so excessive as to be above
the profits of tho producer, then tho
system of our currency needs attention.
He argued that it was a fact tho cultiva
tion of the soil was not remunerative, and
the price paid for the use of tho circula
ting medium was far in excess of tho
profits of tho producer. Wealth dissemi
nated itself less and less, and tho power
of concentrating money increased this
wealth—had only to will, and tho value
expanded or diminished it—had but to
stretch forth its hands, and tho wheels of
industry came to a stand-still. If this
condition of Affairs should continue, the
day is not remote when concentrated
money will dictute tho profits on every
industry aud enterprise iu tho country.
It will dictate legislation to be had in both
wings of the Capitol, as it. does now in
some of tho Stutes. Why were these
things true in a country ho now, so vast
as ours? Lot the apologists of an unfortu
nate system explain as they may, it is still
true. Tho evil could be remedied by
Congress, aud all this trouble avoided in
future. In tLo multiplicity of conflicting
plans, how was it to be determined which
plan would give relief to the country ?
Every theory must bo tested by tho expe
rience and history of other countries, and
any plan not supported by that tost of ex-
porienco must perish.
IIo opposed a speedy return to spocio
payment, but did not desire to bo under
stood as opposing it when it should bo
consistent with tho interests of tho pro
ducing classes of the country. Any day
that Congress might set for a return to
specio payment would not relievo tho
country. It was not just, not practica
ble, not expedient to adopt such a plan.
Should we contract, or should we give to
to tho country more currency? To his
mind, supported as ho was by experience
and history, tho latter was the shortest,
surest and easiest method. We cannot
nay gold for greenbacks until we got gold,
and we cannot get gold until wo bring
it back to this country. We cannot
got it till our exports bring it back to us
—until wo increase our productions. To
increase those productions wo must cheap
en tho facilities, and tho facilities for
cheap productions are first, choap money*
IIo quoted from various authorities to
show that England and Franco had a
larger per capita circulation than the
United States. If Congress would an
nounce that it intended to give more
money to the people, and give it flexibil
ity, that very hour would briug relief to
tho country and bring out millions of
groeubacks now boarded up.
Ho spoko of tiro wants of his section of
country, and said ho believed there was
more prosperity there when it took sixty
dollars iu Confodorato money to buy one
in gold in tho days of tho war. Was it
the will of Congress to refuse to the peo
ple this currency, which reason, history
aud experience domand should bo fur
nished? All the gold in tho universe
could uot pay for tho property of the
United States; hence onr money was
good. If the gold should all bo banished
from the country it would make no differ
ence, provided wo had n currency univer
sally recognized. Some of tho most beg
garly countries in tho world wore those
| whore they lmd nothing but spocio pay-
j went—Spain aud MexLo, for instance—
i while somo of the most prosperous coun
tries of tho world wore those where
j thero was a suspension of specie pay-
I meat. Ho thought this effort of tho
| Government to bring gold in the
j country irrational, and only resulted in
keeping gold out by stilling industry.
Cheap money was what we wanted, aud
lie hoped tho debt-burdened South and
West would heed tho cry. High interest
is a high indication of low prosperity.
Tho South had but little over two dollars
per capita circulation, aud that was not
enough for the industries of that section.
The South is poorer to-day than she was
tho day after Loo surrendered at Appo
mattox Court House. Unless this Con
gress givos speedy relief, nothiug blit ruin
and bankruptcy awaits the people there
in tho near future.
The ruling bunk interest in Georgia is
ono and one-half per cent, a mouth, and
that discounted from the face of the note
und compounded every thirty or sixty
days. What country on the face of the
earth could stand such rates ? Give the
people more money, and give that money
elasticity. Ho hoped the day would come
when we would issue money not fouuded
on gold, but on the fuith of tho Govern
ment, and receivable for all dues alike.
