Newspaper Page Textl*Ug t'OLVSfRI'l. OA.I SATURDAY AUGUST 21). 1874. JOHN H. MARTIN, irUO M»B*i llll’TIO* KK KIUII LSLK.SS PAlf» Hitt IX AttVAXfK. A vessel from Cuba with caves of yel low fever on boa d, arrived at New York on Sunday, and wan Rent to the lower quarantine. It in siid that Mr. Charles Dougherty, Hon of tho late Hon. William Dougherty, of Georgia, ia a prominent candidate for the Sta e Seuate in tho Diatrict composed of Orange and Volusia counties, Florida. The Cincinnati Enquirer*sys that dur ing the last few weeks, some of the lead ing Western Democratic politicians who have been adjourning at the White Sul phur Kprii gs, have beeu talking about the best available candidate for the next Pres dency, and that the preponderance of son- timent seemed to regard Gov. Allen, of Ohi >, as the man. We learn from the Thomasville Enter- prist that the Central Executive Commit tee of the 2<1 Congrosaional District is in correspondence with Hon. Benj. H. Hill, with a view to inducing him to canvass portions of the District. Wo hope that this arrangement will bo ugreed to. The 2d Diatrict ia one in which the Democrats must do work to win the tight, and Mr. Hill could do a groat deni in arousing and animating them. Tho Enterprise says : “The 2d District needs his services, and a* Mr. Hill has ever been found where the battle raged the hottest, it is vary proba ble that his patriotic spirit will respond to tho call." The Atlanta Herald regards it ns set tled that Gon. Toombs will be a candi date for Governor at tho next election, but we see that its correspondent, who has lately interviewed him, reports the General ns saying that he would bn a candidate if the poop'o desired It, from which we infer th.it ho will abide by a nomination. The Herald also says that Hon. Thos. Hardeman will be a Candida's, and that Gen. Colquitt's friends will bring him forwatd with such warmth that be cannot refuse the use of his name; si no that Hon. John H. James’ many friends will insist upon his running, ami it is very probable ihai he will go iu to win. We are aware of tho popularity of G ns. Toombs and Colquitt and Capt Ilaideman, but what Mr. James will “go in to win" with, we don’t fully under stand. «OV. LEWI* AND* THAT «A€ON. We find the following advertisement, dated Montgomery, August 27th, and ad dressed “to the agent-, appointed to din tr hute rations to the destitute and suffor- ing in the ovorllowod districts in Ala bama," iu the State Journal at yostorday: Yon will pie iso be oau'ioiis in the dis tribution of the supplies under the act of Congress to tho destitute in the over- tl .wed districts. Hoc that none is dis tributed, so far as you possibly can, tin- le s in striot accordance with tho act of The agents for the distribution of ra tions under the a -t of Congress to those rendered destitute by tho overflow of the rivers are hereby direct.nl to report each we*k to this department the following pa ticulars : 1. Tho names and reaidences of per sons to whom rations are d stritiuted. 2. The quantity distributed toeaoh per son. David P. Lewis, Governor. Wo do not see that this amounts to auy int.rfer nco whatever, by tho Governor, with iho dis r.button of tho corruption stores of bacon. It does not “suspend ’ nor rostriot the distribution; nor does it oonflue it to the Districts overflowed, nor to tho sufferers by tho overflow. It merely nia^es ..ckuowle Igment of the fact that tlea'Jlof Congress iutondo I this fund for tue ro ief of tho sufferers by the over* flow, aud begs the d s ribufing agents to be oaut ous; but it mak.-s no order con fining the distribution to that class of persons. Gov. Lewis has been notified by members of his own party that it ih the intention of tho Hgonts superiuten ding tho distribution to divert this bacon from the relief of the sufferers by tho over flow, and to distribute it promiscuously in such a way ns to advauce tho interests of certain candidates for office, and yot ho makes no order for the prevoutiou of thin outrage. Ho appears to bo playing a double game, but one thut does not in terfere with the plans of the candidates controlling the bttoon. Tnr. Chicago Times special Washington coi respondent te eg raj hs, undor date of 23d instant, tho following first-class po litical rumor: The statement is mado by a prominent Kepubluan that Hon. E. B. Washburn, Aue ic.n M uister at Paris, will be the noiuii ee of the Republican p.irty for the next Presidency, a d that Pro-ulont Grant will use all his influenoe to th s end. It was with this view that Grant teudered Wa hburu the portfolio of tho Treasury l>ep •itmeiit, and it was because he thought it would injure his chum os tor the nomin.tion that Washburn declined the offer. The Bituo authority asserts that THE CFFACU “TROUBLES” On Wednesday two negroes who had been confined iu the jail of Barbour coun ty, Ala., at Clayton, were taken thence and carried to Eufaula, under a writ of habeas corpus. We presume that the writ was issued by tho pestiferous Judge E. M. Keils, of the City Court of Efifsula, who has on previ uu occasions shown so much solicitudo about negroes arrested for crime, and that one of them escaped On Thursday, as we learn by our special dis patches, Judge Keils was arrested for a felony in assisting in tho escape of a pris oner, an 1 committed to jail in default of $.1,000 hail. No doubt these proceedings caused great excitement st Eufaula. On Friday the Uuited Ktates officials put on the war paiut and commenced re taliatory operations. They arrested six white citizens of Eufaula for participa tion in tho election riot of last Fehrua>y. The time ot miking this arrest, after more than six months had rolled on since tho commission of tho offence charged, indicates clearly enough that this was either an act of retaliali »n for tho pro ceedings against Keils, or was intended to re-asstire the negroes, who had been discouraged by the arrest of their white leader. So far, however, the proceedings on both sides appear to have followed the forms of law, and wo trust that the whites will confine themselves to lo^al remedies They have acted property in trying to hold the white inciter of mischief and profocor of criminals to account, and we trust that the laws of the Stato will he rigidly enforced in his case, even though retaliation under the tyrannical Enforce ment law is resorted to. It would bn a deplorable st .to of affairs if the officers of a State wore restrained f.oin executing its laws by retaliatory proceedings by Federal officers. This would amount to tho oomploto nullification of State law aud the surrender of everything to a Federal tyruuny. SER. VANCE ON THE SITUATION. An interviewer of tho New York Herald reports a long and interesting conversa tion with ex-Govornor Vance on tho North Carolina election and other political mat ters. Governor Vance uttrihutod th. sweeping Dimiorratio victory in North 0 .retina chiefly to tho corruptions of Radical offla als and the Civil Bights hill lie eays that hundreds of negroes voted the Democratic ticket for tho first time— most of thorn because of what they con sidered the treachery of whito Republi cans. He says that many of the white Repuli icans and some of the londing ne groes finfi'ienocd by their while allies,) declared their opposi'ion to tho Civ.l Rights hill; that “this policy disgusted the darkies, and ns they know full well they could not ull get elected to office, and were depoudunt for a living ii|»ou tho Conservatives or Democrats of the State— who uro the property holders—hundreds of them woro wise enough to consult their interest!) and vote for their old masters." Gov. Vance does not believe in tho sin cerity of Gen. Grant’s professions of op- position to the corrupt Radical rule in South Carolina. He says that if Gen. Grant is sincere in these professions, ull thut he bus tojjo is to remove (he Federal troops from South Carolina, and the white people would carry the Stato at the com ing election and drive Moses aud his cor rupt set o! followers out of the Stito. Bu he believed Grant to he iu sympathy with Moats. Gov. Vance truly said: “NVher- evor tho whites aro in a majority in tho 8<>nth we lienr of no trouble between the races, but a here thoy aro in a minority it will always ho differ-ut." In reference to the next Presidency, Gov. Vance scouted tho idea that the South would support Gen. Grant for a third term. He sa d that he ha 1 lately hud a talk with Gen. Gordon on this sub jdot. Gordon thought thut Senator Thur man, of Ohio, would he tho Democratic candidate; but Vatic* thought that Hon- d icks, of Indiana, would lie the man. 1 he ohoice, he said, would be botwocn Thurman and Hendricks. Tbe Commissioner of Agriculture. Dr. Tims P. Janes (not Joues as a dis patch had it yostorday) is the appointco of Gov. Smith to this position. He lives iu Greene county, near Penfield. was recommended to tho Governor for tho position by quito a number of mou competent to jiulgo of his qualifications. The Atlai.ta Constitution says of h:m : “For over a quarter of a ceutury Dr. Julies has taken a very active and zodoiia part in the interests and usefulness of the State Agricultural Society. Siuco 184(1 he has served it as vice-president or on its ex outivo i-otniui too. lie has been well known for a number of years as the ener getic and able president of the “Greoue County Agricultural and Mechanical As sociation," and otherwise at hIi times and in many ways as popularly identified in the honor .bio standing ami solid advance- incut of the great commanding iuterosta of agriculture thioughout th- Stato and country, being fully alive to its wants, capable and experienced in all matters thereto appertaining. The faithful discharge of his public duties is n marked u-auranee that his ap pointment is meritorious ami appropriate; that it will give general satisfaction to the planting coiumnuity of the Stato, and fulfil tho des'guH of the agricultural act Grant and Washburn there is a perfect understanding between ! of the last General Assembly.

That W. P. Kellogg is a more usurper, and we denounce him an such; that his government is arbitrary, unjust and op- pre-H ve, and that it cun maintain itself only through Federul interference. That tho elec ion laws under which the eleotiou is being couduc ed were intended to perpetuate usurpation by depriving the people, and especially our naturalized ci - izeus, of tho opportunity to register to vote, but wo anuouuoe di tiuo’ly that it is tho determination of the people to have a fair election and to see that the result is not changed by fraud or v o'once.

Wo advise our pooplo to vote ngiin-t tho amendment proposed by tho u urping Legislature, nnd pledge ourselves, on a restoration of the govern ment to honest bunds, to provide for the payment of tho honest indebtedness of the Stato. The Tehuantepec Route. 'iho Isthmus of Tehauntepoc, lying near est the Uui ed States of tho throe great and natural shortcuts between tho Atlantic aud Pacific Oceans, has been waiting for a long time for dove opiuont, but was with out tho ndvantages secured by tho Pana ma route, in consequence of tho opera tions upon (hut isthmus which began wiih tbe time of tho buccaneers. Panama is tho old route established undor the Span ish authority, and maintained its suprem acy iu spite of the udv.intagcsof the Nica- raugua and Tehuantepec routos, nearer to tho United States nnd Ktirnpo, hut which, for want of government a-sistance.h vo re in lined undovo oped. Surveys huvo beeu made at various times, and much has been written and priuted upon tho subjeoi, but practi ail results have not bqpn at tained. It is probable that this condition of affairs will not exist mu h longer. The rehnautepoc Railroad Company, uu’hor- ized under tho gruut of the Mexican Gov- < rnmont of 1867, to Emilio Lasore, is u >t a myth. It is organized, and entered iuto contracts, not only for buil ling tho road, but for its tquipnient, including build ings, depots, warehouse*, shoj s, wharves and rolling stock. Tho railroad is under American management, nnd the company holds ibi incorporation under the laws of Vermont, on an eighteen million of dol lars of capital, guaranteed by the Gov ernment of Mexico in tho possession of i's rights, with grants of land and valua ble privileges. Tho railroad will ex'end from Minatit- Inn, on the Contzao Coalcos river to Halina Cruz and Tehuantepec, on tho Pucitic coast, a distance of oiio hundred and sixty mile*. This isthmus is abouUfrmn six to sevou hundred miles north of Panama It is estimated thut fit teen hundred miles may ho saved in tho voyage betwoen Phil adelphia and San Francisco, a most im portant object, valuable as to tho saving of time aud of expense, and thereby im portant not only to our commorco, but to tho commerce of the world. Another important point will he iu the assistance which the opening of this road will give to tha development of tho adjoining country.
