O. M. WILUAMI, ■ - 7*" r lMl£?
MI'UMXi.
Every paper w,f:jne'e over is filled
with the all-ntworWnK subject con
cerning the situation of Lontotann.
The Government has s**t Gen. Hher
iilafi to* New Grthnhff/tind He Has
promised to carry out instructions t 6
tho letter. That is significant, and
points directly to tho complotc' disre
gard of tho expressed voice of the
people of tltfti down-tt'Oildoii State.
'Die situation ipay.be summed up
In this way: At tho last Stato election
. til© Democratic party carried the
State, electing tho Legislature by a
large majority. That fact is not de
nied, oven byAdw Kadteal press of the
country. But before thoso elected
could receive certificates to tlityf; ef
fect, tho vote hus to go through a re
vising machine, made to order’hy the
Radical party, called a Returning
Board, whoso sworn duty it 4 TO
throw out enough Democrat!* ivotes
to ensure tho eloetion of the Radi
’ oals., I The votes 6f parish hfter pariah
wero thrown out on the most insig
nificant grounds, until they wero 1 in
tills way able to announce the triumph
of the Radical party. Thpsefew t>ern
ocrats who wero placed in tins ma
chine as a blind and a bait to the Dem
ocrats, havo resigned, alleging as a
reason that the grossest frauds were
being committed, and being in the
minority they wore powerless to pre
vent It. ■'! r i 1
Yesterday tho Legislature was to
meet, and tho neofile of tho ontiro
State determined to send their Repre
sentatives to New Orleans, each ac
companied by a guard of sufficient
strength to seat thorn in ilofianeo of
the iniquitous returns of tlio Radical
Board. Gen. Granjj hearing .of their
determination has sent Gen. Sheri
dan to New Orleans to maintain tho
Kellogg (Radical) faction in power,
with a threat to hurt somebody if the
pooplo again revolt.
The press of New Orleans Urges the
people to have no eouiliet with
troops, but to do what they havo at
tempted in seating thejr logally elec
ted representatives.
The New Orleans Times says:
“One of tho questions of the day is
whether Phil Sheridan is to ride down
this way or not. Phil has been here
before. His reputation as a rider and
raider stands nigh, but as a soother
of political troubles, and corrector of
political abuses, he is unythlng but a
success. His conduct while in com
mand of tills department, was fre
quently of a most short-sighted and
arbitrary character; and especially
was this the case In his interferences
with our municipal affairs. If the
policy of vongoanco la to lie adopted,
Phil can carry it successfully; but ho
is by no means the proper man to
throw oil on troubled waters.
The Bulletin says : “If our people
aro determined to avoid a coiiisloa
with tho United States forces, as wo
firmly beliovo they aro, Generals Em
ory or Lo Irobtoud,or tor the matter
of that, anv lloutenant in command
of a squarl,’would answer just as well
as the redoubtable Sheridan, or tire
scalping and town-burningTeeumseh
himself. Should they ever come to
tho ooneluslon th'ut their self-respoet
and manhood require them to adopt
a different courso, which is scarcely
Srosumabjo. th* fact that Tn-Miles
way-Munchausen Sheridan is to bo
their objeotivejKilht, will net make a
partielo of difference, so far as they
are concerned; and it may safely bo
predicted that, in that ease, some
body is just as Mfcoiy to be hurt on
one sldo as upon tho other.”
Thoso extracts servo to show their
determination to resist tho wrongs, at
the sacrifice of life, that the Radical
tarty and tho General Government
havo continually heat>od upon them.
YVliilo the spirit is praiseworthy, it Is
Impracticable and unwise. Wo can
not expect to gain our rights now
with the sword, but one and all must
work to destroy tho root of the evil.
\vMell is fo bo found at the head
quarters of tho Government, Tlio
ballot-box is our only remedy, and to
It wo must look for u cure. Before
tills, however, %> wTOtgeil people of
Louisiana may ’ have'* acted rashly,
and a oonfliot may have been brought
about which might Involve the whole
country in war, and tho conduct of
Gen. Grant and his throats only pro
voke tlio people to reslstauoo. But
whatever Louisiana does in this her
hour of trouble, she has our sympa
thies, and those of the entire South.

Jiditor Daily Times: -I trust you
will allow nfie to send yon a New
Year’s salutation on your birth-day,
and join with a friend in the hope that
your now pai>or will,“live longer and
the harder” than tho Dispatch, which
seems to have given up with the
quickest possible dispatch. \ti every
body complains of hard times, it may
to that you will find it hard work to
koep up with your Times, but! I hoiie
success may crown your efforts. Ev
erybody down here are wishing you
success, and you will get a good sgb
serfiition list.
I fi&vfe never experienced, In all my
life, .such a dull Christmas season.
Not one day of sunshine for u woek,
and rain and dampnoss for a constant
companion. Weddings, parties balls,
and suppers have been of nightly oc
currence here, yet it has not seemed
llkb old times. One of tho most joy
ous of tho past week was tho marriage
of Oapt. L. H. Bowles, a talented
young lawyer, and associate editor of
tho Troy Messcwjer, and Miss Julia
L. Wiley, a most estimable and highly
accomplished young laily of tills elty.
The many friends in Columbus, of
the happy bridegroom, will bo glad
to learu of his good fortune.
The Troy Hook and Ladder Com
pany have enjoyed the holidays to the
full extent,, having bad their annual
parade, ball and oyster supper. On
Saturday night last, however, they
were called irito sorvieo by the burn
ing or four wooilen buildings on the
Square, and through their efforts
Jones’ largo two-story brick block
was saved.
Although some thirty families, sev
eral of whom were quite a loss to
this community, loft for Texas last
week, I hear Of many families mov
ing into the county from other sec
tions, und hopo that they will to able
to make good the loss referred to.
So far as Troy is concerned, her
growth is steadily developing. Hard
ly one citizen leaves whose placo Is
not supplied by two or threo now ar
rivals. It is Impossible, I think, at
this time to find a house for rent in
the city. Tho destruction of tho four
Wooden stores on tho Square will no
doubt furnish occupants for tho emp
ty wooden stores about town, and
give an air of increasing ixrospority
to tho entire business portion of tho
town.
Troy should never forget that she
owes much of her growth and pros
perity to tho generous and timely aid
given her by Columbus. To Messrs.
Swift, Murphy & Cos., Col. It. L. Mott,
Major A. M. Allen, and G. Gunby
Jordan, in particular, have the mer
chants of this city been under obli
gations for valuablo pecuniary assist
ance and advice. It is to be hoped,
therefore, that your goodly city may
yet reap an abundant reward, for her
devotion to the early development of
this now flourishing business centre,
and never have cause to regret her in
vestments in this section.

It appears that the oommissifinM*
of emigration at Castle Garden, New
York, predict, a large emigration of
Germans back to their native hpu.
4t ton fact, howover, that jinA—finkv
tlie travel to Europe is small, though
it is stored that there have been
many applicants to the commission
ers at New York for aid hi returning,
mostly from mechanics, and In near
ly every caso they luvo come provi
ded with letter’s from Germany, in
which they aro Assured that labor is
plenty and profitable at home, and
that the demand for mechanics is
greater than it lias been for many
years previous. It is stated that skill
ed labor Is scarce and the prices paid
aro good, almost all classes of me
chanics rcooiving about two thirds
advance upon tho wages that used to
be paid in their different grades of
work. This is accounted for on the
ground not only of tho unity of Ger
many, but her enrichment by the
war, Blie has been more than idem
nifled it is claimed; Mr besides mak
ing France pay the expenses of the
campaign, money lias become plenti
ful, Industries that slumbered during
the war have revived, her business
relations with othor powers pave ex
tended. and there has arisen an In
creased internal and external demand
for her manufactures. Besides, the
war killed off many of her laborers
or maimed them for life, and time
sufficient has not elapsed to recruit
the ranks with reliable material.
If tho Germans generally aro not
tho shrewd and intelligent people
they are supposed to be, those of them
who are in America might lend a
credulous oartosuch representations.
Wo aro iaolined to suspect, however,
tliat there will not be a large emigra
tion of Germans back to their native
land. Most of them know too much
for that. They have sense enough to
understand that idle present hard
times in this country arc exceptional
anil temporary, and that even If they
wero not, foreign born citizens are
not likely to find much better times
in their own country. If there is any
truth in tho assertion that “flush
times in Germany have followed the
war with France,” all intelligent per
sons must know that tlris is but a
transient effect, odd llko the “flush
times” produced by our own war, is
of more advantage to capitalists than
laborers. It is not War, but peace,
which imparts genuine prosperity
and permanent stability to the indus
tries of a country. We aye now, it is
to bo hoped, from various indications,
•Dinring uton a period of real peace■
in the United States, and as soon as
this is established nil the financial
disorders resulting from the war will
give place to a better state of things.
When that happy consummation ar
rives tho United States will, as form
erly, offer such inducements and ro
warils to enterprise and energy as are
found nowhere elso la tho world.
But what are the prospects in Ger
many ?
All accounts agree that there arc
olements of danger in both her
foreign and domestic relations which
threaten u terrible explosion at no
distant day. Under such circum
stances it is easy to understand that
it is tho policy of the German govern
ment, which will neod all the light
ing men It i-au obtain, not only to
diminish emigration from Germany,
but, as fur as poslblo, to induoo those
who have emigrated to return. No
doubt foreigners who have become
citizens of the Uuitod States havo a
right to becomo again subjects of tho
monarchs or kings under whom they
were born. If they can advance
their material interest thereby no
one can blame them for going back
to Europe. But., unless all the signs
of the times are to bo distrusted, tho
“skilled latvorers who go from Amer
ica to Germany, expecting to take
tho placo of those who havo fallen In
tlio war with France, will find them
selves, ere long, in the placo which
tlio fallen men had in the German
war, and will be carrying muskets on
their shoulders, with a fairer pros
pect of being killed or maimed for
life than'of.being engaged in peace
ful and profitable employments.--

The Treasury Troubles at Wash
inoton—A Washington correspondent
refers to tlio discharge of three hun
dred employees of the Treasury De
partment, mostly women with fami
lies to support, on account of the
transfer of the printing of internal
revenue stamps from the government
workshops to a bank note company
in New York. Tlio Washington Star,
commenting on the matter, says:
“If the members of Congress whoso
votes brought, about, tilts change--a
mistake in every way could sue, Uie
sad results of it in hundreds 6f Wash
ington homes to-day, they might well
question the humanity of their ac
tion, which can hardly bo defended
on any grouud, for tho government,, 4
almost certain to boa loser, (uni hot
a gainer, by the transfer. To save a
repetition of the distressing scenes at
tlie treasury building when the last,
dismissals took placo tlio notifications
were the time sent to the residences
of the unfortunate ones; but in some
eases they could not to found, and
this morning some young women
handed tho liated envelopes at the
door of tlio building. It was pitiful
to see thetr looks of dismay—in some
oases of despair. This was succeed
ed hy fits of crying as they took their
sdats in the street ours’ for homes
which were for the remainder of the
winter to witness many scenes of sul
fering. A sail holiday season for these
unfortunates.”
