It shall be my purpose to expose

I enter tho Hold of journalism with a
determination neither to indulge In
offensive personal allusions, nor to

a war of epithets. I recognize the

shall spare no effort to fill it worthily.
Meanwhile, I beg the Indulgence of

Emigration fell off last year, says
tho New York Herald,, fifty percent.
Tho value of an emigrant to the
country has been estimated to be
equal to AGU), This deficit in the
matter of emigration is duo more to
tho restrictions imposed by foreign
governments, and tho inducements
offered by the Imperial government
of Oerinauy to keep its subjects at
home, than to the depression of busi
ness in this oountry. Both causes
ojierate as important facts, however,
to bring about this rosult. The Her
ald thinks the i>olicy adopted by the
Mormons, who go to England or
Wales and bring their proselytes di
rectly to Utah, Is the best plan. In
tho near future the question of secur
ing foreign immigrants is destined to
booomo one of great Importance to
tho Southern States.
We hope that the efforts of Com
missioner Janos, and especially of
tho State Oeoligist., will soon give to
the world a hand-book that will show
clearly tho vurted resources of Geor
gia. The rosults thus far prove that,
generally, negro labor has not proved
profitable. The thriftless habits of
tho negro will cause that race
to decroaso in relative numbers,
rather than increase. The human
race, under fair treatment, will
double itself every twenty-five years.
A cureful census will determine an
nually whether they are decreasing
by koeplng In view that standard.
Wo believo that they uro gradually
decreasing, while up to the beginning
of tho war their increase was only
equaled by that of the seventy Jews
who went down into Egypt, and when
they came out after 800 years, num
bered s.eoii.uoe.

When Georgia was under the des
potism of Bullock & Cos., and tho
hope of liberty had almost vanished,
a light spread over the State when
tho Radicals begun to fall out among
themselves on account of the division
of the plunder. Wo predict the same
state of affairs in South Carolina. For
ten years that State has been run and
lluuily ruined by Radical pirates from
the North and the mean- negroes at
home. No respectable man bus been
ablo to got an office, or have a voice
in the affuirs of his State. They have
bled tho people in the way of levying
ouorous taxes, until, in many in
stances, tho property would not bring
the amount of taxes assessed against
It. At last they have a row in camp,
and we hope and trust the Democrats
will thereby bo enabled to step into
power. Tho Governor of the State
is a New Englander, carried into
office by the Radicals and negroes,
and now ho has made his followers
mad, because he vetoed a party
measure. The negroes swear he has
gone back on them and the party,
and propose to withdraw their sup
port. Tho white negroes side with
the Governor; hence tho split prom
ises to bo no ordinary one. The affair
is so bitter that tho editor of tho Gov
ernor’s organ has been arrested for
contempt, he having alluded in his
journal to tho honorable members by
tho opprobrious title of “show ani
mals.” The negroes in Charleston
held a grand indignation meeting to
protest against t he outrage upon their
rights. While in session they abused
tho Congress for refusing a seat to
tho chumplon of their race', “Pinch.”
They may hold as many meetings as
they see proper, und become as in
dignant os “Pinch” himself was, but
they will never get into office when a
white Radical desires tho place. If
tho South Carolina negroes will learn
this lesson ns readily as the Georgia
uegroes have, they may expect to get
along as they do in Georgia. Another
election, and South Carolina will be
as free of that party, as is Georgia
now.
Ben Milnek, Esq., says that just
before the war tho “dry storm” pass
ed over tho State, taking the very
track that that other old “cuss,”
Gen. Sherman, took. Mr. Milner's
Idea Is that the recent tornado went
through a part of the black belt, and
he is of tho opinion that it is the
forerunner of tho war of races. No
one can tell what the next decade will
bring forth.
The Washington Chronicle pretends
to believe that there is much proba
bility of Jefferson Davis being made
the Democratic candidate for the
Presidency in 187 G. The only capital
now left to the Radical party is cold
blooded lying, and the Chronicle evi
dently Intends to dcal iu its full share
of that stock.

T. J. Miixiken, one of tho wealthiest
merchants in Sacramento, married
for his second wife a beautiful oetn
roon. He died and she claimed her
interest in his property. His children
by his first wife disputed her claim,
and the Courts have decided the mar
riage illegal, on the ground that the
laws of California prohibits “all mar
riages between white persons and no
groes, or inulatoes to bo illegal and
void.” The evidence showed she bad
been received in first-class society,
and was nearly white.
Pin cniJACK, who has been vaga
mondizlng around Washington ail tho

Senate, returned to New Orleans und
was given a large reception by his

present, and as lie entered tho rooms
the band played “Hail to the Chief.”
Pinch spoke at great length, ami said
he did not intend to give up his chances

Tlie chances are that he will take it

Mrs. Margaret Lamarind has filed
a petition In the Common Pleas
Court at Louisville, Ky., in a suit
against Daniel Boone Lodge, Knights
of Pythias, claiming $50,000 for tho
alleged death of her husbund. In her
petition the plaintiff states that on
the 25th of March, 1874, her husband
was initiated in tho Daniel Boone
Lodge, and during the initiatory cer
emonies received injuries which re
sulted in his death on tho Ist of April
the same year. For the defence it is
claimed that there is nothing in the
initiatory services of the Knights of
Pythias by which injuries could have
been inflicted as claimed, and it is
further alleged that Mrs. Lumarhid
Is of unsound mind.

Ex-President Davis, who is on a
visit to New Orleans, sent the follow
ing telegram to a meeting held in
Memphis, Tenn., to express regret at
the dentil of John Mitehel, the Irish
patriot:
“Unable to be with you, I send my
heartfelt sympathy in your proposed
tribute to the patriot and devotee of
liberty, John Mitehel. Together we
struggled for State rights, for the su
premacy of tho constitution, for com
munity independence; and, after de
feat, were imprisoned together. As
my friend, I mourn for him, and re
gret his death as a loss to mankind.”
The Ameriean Minister at Vienna,
John Jay, has cheated his landlady
out of the rent to which she was
justly entitled. Ho has scandalized
and disgraced the United States at
tho Court of the Empire at Austria.
All of Grant’s Foreign Ministers seem
to possess that faculty to the greatest
extent. In this connection we pub
lish the following from a letter to tho
New York Nation from London :
“Every honest American in England
runs the risk, every time that he
dines with a party of Englishmen, of
being made to blush by ail allusion
to the Emma Mine or Gen. Sehenok,
and ho must blush in silence, for
there is not one word that can be
said in mitigation of the disgrace;
whenever he takes up a morning pa
per, he may see that some beggared
victim of Grant and Schenek lias in
stituted a criminal action against the
American Minister for complicity in
a swindle, which but for his name
might never had been 11 successful
one; that lie can not go to his Minis
ter’s receptions with self-respect, or,
if ho went, meet there an Englishman
who has any.”
(Jraut.
Abuse of Grant in certain quarters
only strengthens him: while an at
tack upon the veritable usurpations
of tho Radical party can do Democ
racy no harm.
To which we may add that when
this mysterious man does something
commendable he deserves to be
praised for it. In the nomination of
Pardee, he exhibited good sense and
patriotism, not to speak of friendship
for Louisiana. The men who reject
ed this nomination are tiie true arch
itects of ruin, and a great deal worse
than President Grant,— Augusta Con
stitutionalist.
“Pardee was irreproachable, and
therefore not the proper instrument
for tho persecution of the South and
for that corruption upon which the
Radical party subsists. So ho had to
die.”
“Gen. Grant is erratic. He does
some strange tilings, and now and
thou a good thing. To us he is a
mystery, He certainly ought to be
allowed to do a good thing when he
has a mind to. But that relentless
and ruthless Republican party, which
never deviates into justice ami hu
manity, would not permitthis. Rich
