and draws no nearer to completion.
Spain is the most decayed of Euro

of tho desert ion of many of his subor

The Richmond Whig, Augusta Con
stitutionalist, Macon Telegraph and
Columbus Times think that Col. A.
R. Lamar, formerly Clerk of the
Confederate House of Representa
tives, and one of the most forcible
writers in tho South, is the fittest
man in the country for the Clerkship
of tho next House of Representatives.
Let every paper in the State speak
out. Col. Lamar is our Choice above
any man in the South, if tho position
is tendered to a Southerner.
A committee from the Puddler’s
Union visited Mr. Schofield, the
superintendent of tho rolling mill in
Atlanta, and served him with a notice
that, unless tho within agreement
was complied with, they would quit.
Mr. Schofield refused to accede, tell
ing them thut he preferred that the
furnaces should bo idle rather than
bo ruled by any union. The men
wont back to work, but their decis

action and the causes thereof. We
think “strikes” a bad remedy.

Cole’s Kpeecli.
Col. Colo lately delivered a speech
beforo tho Board of Directors of the
Georgia Road, in which ho showod
that tho Btate Road, of which ho is
Vice President, with its 138 miles of
track, earns a great deal more than
tho Georgia Road, of which ho was
latoly Superintendent, with its 229
miles of track. He proved this indis
putably by stating that the State
Road (W. & A R. R.) for the Inst fis
cal year had made a net earning of
♦600,000. It is statod by the Atlanta
News that tho lessees claim that the
State road only made a net earning
of $256,000, and that the two previ
ous years left no net earnings what
ever. Until all tho facts are made
known, we abstain from comment.
Both tho Georgia Road aud t ho State
Road are making strenuous efforts to
.seeure the services of Gen. Mcßae as
Superintendent. It would seem
from these efforts that the prosper
ous condition of tho State Road is
largely ascribed to-his efficient man
agement.
The Way to Secure (inraiirruntN.
A correspondent of the Florida
Union writes tho following letter. It
is equally applicable to our State:
To the Editor of the Union:
Sin—Having seen the letter of one
of vour well-known citizens, Geo. J.
Aides, of New Smyrna, in the Chi
cago Inter-Ocean, which has given us
the first information we have had in
regard to Florida, and has caused
such a "Florida fever” in the West, I
have visited the section of the State
of which ho wrote and can vouch
for tho truth of his statements, and
have located on tho Halifax river. I
am glad to learn that Mr. Alden is
about to publish a pamphlet to be
distributed in the Northwest, and 1
am satisfied that his publication will
cause a thousand families in the
Northwest to settle in Florida. Our
section in the West is flooded with
publications relative to the climate,
resources, etc., of California, but
nothing can be had of Florida. I
trust success will attend Mr. Alden's
efforts. Respectfully,
G. H. Norton,
Late of Arkansas City, Kansas.

Tho death of Gen. John C. Breck
inridge will fill tho South with
mourning. No other name in our
history is so embalmed in our hearts
as his, except Gen. R. E. Lee’s. Thoso
two formed the purest, highest typo
of manhood. Whether In civil or mil
itary life, no man ever heard the
slightest whisper against tho charac
ter of Loo or Breckinridge. Digni
fied yet geniLi, commanding yet cour
teous, bravo and ohlvalrio yet humble
Christians, us loaders of men they
had no superiors. The perfection of
physical beauty, these two men would
have adorned tho manhood of nny
nationality.
In Paris, Franco, as well as in Lex
ington, Ky., Gen. Breckinridge com
manded respect, and yet was as ap
proachable to tho humblest us well as
the greatest as any man whom Nature
has ever stamped “great.” Ho was
born near Lexington on January 21st,
1821, and was a grandson of Hon.
John Breckinridge, U. S. Senator
from Kentucky and Attorney General
of the United States. Gen. Breckin
ridge graduated at Centro College,
Danville, and studied law at Transyl
vania Institute, Ky. After a short
residence in lowa he returned to Ken
tucky, and married Miss Birch, of
Georgetown, und settled at Danville.
At the opening of tho Mexican war
he volunteered, and was soon elected
Major of Third Regiment, Kentucky
Volunteers.
After his return he was elected to
the House of Representatives of the
United States over Gen. Leslie Combs.
Again, in 1853, he defeated Governor
Letcher. Ho delivered the eulogy on
Henry Clay, although they were of
different parties. He was offered the
Ministry toSpaln by President Pierce,
but declined it. In 1856 Senator
Breckinridge was elected Vice Presi
dent of the United States, witli Buch
anan as President. Though he was
the youngest man who ever filled that
office, and though his courtesy, dig
nity and just dealings marked him
as the most promising of American
statesmen, he resigned all the great
honors of political life that ho might
illustrate on tho battle-field the
principles of his life and protect his
, beloved country.
In 1860 General Breckinridge was
doemod fit to receive still
higher honors, and was nominated
by tho National Democratic Conven
tion for President of the United
States, but was defeated by the over
whelming tide which swept over the
country that year and placed Mr.
Lincoln in (he Presidential choir.
Gen. B. died from the effects of a
wound received during the war. His
Confederate history is known to all;
hence we say no more.
A Revolution In Public Mentimeut.
In the past few years public sym
pathy has been with the accused, for
the very good and sufficient reason
that Southern people are magnani
mous und generous to a fault. In
tho past year a great revolution lias
taken place with tho people, and
they are firmly convinced now that
the only wuy in which to ensure
respect for law is a rigid accountabil
ity to the law. Alabama has been
repeatedly slandered, and called “tho
land of crime” and tho hiding place
of murderers; yet from all sections of
that State comes tho cry of vindica
tion. This great revolution has taken
place in Alabama in such an incredi
ble short space of time, that but few
are bold enough now to violate her
laws. Now devoutly do we hope the
good news lias reached our own sec
tion. Under the administration of
Judges Hall and Hopkins crimo is
lessening in their section, and tho
people have determined to enforce
tho law. Muscogee county has now
in session a grand jury composed of
men who are not afraid to
do their duty, and indict the
few lawless characters with
which Columbus is infested.
When the revolution in public opin
ion starts, we hope it will not go to ex
tremes. Crimes have boen commit
ted in our county, that cause four
llfths of her citizens to blush with
shame, and they demand that the
criminals shall be punished. Colum
bus and her citizens aro orderly, law
abiding people, who discountenance
crimes in friend or foe, and ttio great
injustice that has boen laid upon her
people, she is in no way responsible
for. Alone are responsible tho few
evil designing men in the communi
ty. When free from them and their
bad acts, Columbus will enjoy
her former good reputation.
People will learn the lesson
that men are created, not to
bo waylaid, plundered, robbed or
murdered by any vindictive feeling
or of gain. Tho citizens of tho coun
ty look forward with a hightened de
gree of satisfaction at the speedy re
volution in the administration of the
criminal law of the country.
Personal.
Capt, Woldridge, “tho blind man
eloquent,” honored us with a cull
yesterday morning. Capt. Woldridge
is a lawyer of high social and profes
sional standing, who had to abandon
his profession, owing to a gun-shot
wound received at the battle of Per
ryville, Kentucky, by which his
sight was totally destroyed. All who
saw it, will remember the famous
charge oil Mancy’s Brigade on that
memorable day. We would respect
fully suggest to Captain Woldridge
to lecture upon the deeds of valor
performed by the Western Army
during the war.
History thus far has by uo means
done that army justice, and every
soldier’s heart will respond to the or
at r, who brings to light the heroism
yet untold and unsung. Captain
Wooldridge read law under Gen.
John C. Brown, Governor of Tennes
see, who endorses him in the highest
terms. Our people owe it to them
selves to aid the heroes who were
maimed and rendered dependent by
the heroic struggle in defence of
their country's liberties. We huvo
never heard Mr. Wooldridgo lecture,
but tho Press speak in very high
terms of his efforts as a leoturer.
He goes to Tolbotton to lecture
shortly, and from there will visit
other towns. Our best wishes will
accompany him, and wo hope he will
lecture in Columbus.

It is a pity that President Grant
did not imitate his former command
er, President Lincoln, by appointing
a now General, each timo the com
mander proved himself lacking in
success. Had he done so, Mr. Wil
liams, lato Attorney-General, would
huve been incontinently cashiered
immediately after his first decisions
wore enunciated. But the unparal- j
lelled malignity and partisanship, j
displayed in all of Judge Williams’
rulings, have one redeeming feature,:
viz.: They suggest to his successor
tho rocks and Sehilly isles, where he |
wrecked himself, and sunk tho reve
nues of tho country. We believe
Judge Pierrepont lias wisdom enough
to steer cleur of them. Great men
aro often the creatures of accident,
rather than design; for example, a
Galena tanner, if he is sagacious
enough to ride witli the tide, can be
come President; but, we fear the
President, since he has surrendered
himself to the Williums-Deluno ex
tremists, can never again become as
respected as was the so-called honest
Galena tanner. .
It is the peculiar penalty of Presi
dents that their Cabinets bo consid
ered as mirrors reflecting the charac
ter of tho Executive. If this be true,
what a scathing criticism it is upon
tho character of Grant!
Delano has always been a politician,
und what Mr. Stephens defined a
“false demagogue.” But he lias
steadily fattened upon the spoils of
offlco, and the corruption that has
spread witli contagious affection
throughout his department.
Delano’s conduct was a direct re
flection upon tho Attorney-General, j
and, by keeping Williams in office, j
Grant became responsible for all the j
cruel wrongs caused by these politi
cal harpies. It is well, for ills sake,
that in the brief time he will be Pres
ident he has finally appointed a good
lawyer, who has a personal character j
from taint as yet. We agree witli the
New York Sun. that, “the first duty
to which Judge Pierrepont must ad
dress himself is to stop the partisan j
plunder by wtiieh an army of mar- j
shals, deputies, arid scurvy poli- j
ticiuns have fattened on tho Treas-:
ury while disturbing tho peace
of tho Southern States. More than
two and a quarter millions were paid
out by Williams for this sort of ser
vice during the last fiscal year, end
ing 30th June, 1874. The returns
from July forward, which covered the
infamous Campaign in Alabama, Ar
kansas, and Louisiana, have not yet
been officially reported, and will swell
the aggregate considerably.
Wo will say more*? We believe that
Judge Pierrepont will do it. He starts
official life as tho highest law officer
of tho nation, with the confidence
ffnd the good will of “the Great
South.” May ho deserve it!
At the Social Science Congress in
Detroit the value of an immigrant
was thus stated:
What is the economic value of each
immigrant to tho land of his adop
tion? Mr. Knapp, from carefully con
sidered data, places it at $1,125. Dr. j
Edward Young, of Washington,
thinks this too high, and has fixed it
at *BOO. Other statisticians would
perhaps reach still different results.
But whatever process we may adopt
in making our calculations, it is evi
dent that the annual increase to the
capitalized wealtli of the country, by
this influx from beyond the sea, must
be reckoned by more than tens of
millions.
Here is still another view of the
subject. Dr. Young says: “It is im
possible to make an intelligent esti
mate of tho value to the country of
those foreign born citizens who have
brought their educated minds, their
cultivated tastes, their skill in the
arts and their inventive genius. In
almost every walk of life their influ
ence has been felt. Alike in the fear
ful ordoul of war and in the pursuits
of peace, in our legislative halls and
in the various learned professions,
the adopted sons of America have at
tained eminence.”
One objection to California is the
drouths. The San Francisco Cati
says;
“Much of the complaint of drouths
heard in this State is caused by a
neglect to put in crops so as to have
the full benefit of all the rain which
falls. Our people, before coming to
California, have been used to plant
ing in the spring; hence they ate
sometimes slow in putting in their
crops, and a dry season affects them.
The past winter has been unusually
dry, yet crops will be tolerably fair
except in particular districts. Drouth
seldom afreets grapes or other fruits ;
indeed, dry seasons give us excellent
wine. Some portions of the State,
however, will require to be irrigated
to insure perfect crops.”
We are not troubled in this manner
in Georgia.
If the United States Senate, when
it convenes, does not, on the strength
of the disclosures which have been
made before tile Alabama Legisla
ture, promptly exi>el Spencer, the
carpet-bag Senator from that State,
it will be a National disgrace.—Cin
cinnati Enquirer.
We may also add that ho has done
Ids country the greatest possible ser
vice. Tweed brought the festering
sore of municipal corruption and rob
bery to a head, and we owe him
thanks for it. George E. Spencer is
the emetic of carpet-baggery, and we
owe him thanks as a wholesome med
icine.—AT. Y. Tribune.
Gen. Bartlett is the exponent of the
thinking men of his section, who ar
dently desire a renewal of the kindly
feeling and good will which ought to
prevail between the North and the
South. Woof the South are ready to
meet half way in such evidences of
cordiality. If we may be permitted,
we would like to say that our people
think that the North has not the
same cause for feelings of bitterness
that we have here.— Jteui Orleans
Picayune, (Dem.)
The Washington Chronicle says:
“The Republican party will not die
before its time comes.” True, but
the time is coming very shortly.

j
New Revised Edition.
| Entirely rewritten by the ablest writers on every
subject. Printed from new type, aud illua-
J trated with Several Thousand Eugraviuga
and Maps.
i The work originally published under the title
of The Nkw American Cyclop.kdia was com
pleted in ltkiJ, since which time the wide circula
tion which it has attained in all parts of the
I United States, aud the aignal developments which
; have taken place iu every braut h of science, lit
| erature and art, have induced the editors aud
' publishers to submit it to an exact aud thorough
■ revision, aud to issue a now editiou entitled The
I AMERICAN CVCLOI'.V.DIA.
i Within the last ten years the progress of dis
covery in every department of knowledge has
| made' anew work of reference an imperative
j want.
The movement of political affairs has kept pace
with the diacovenes of science, aud their iruitiul
application to the industrial and useful arts aud >
j the convenience and refinement ol social life.
! Great wars aud consequent revolutions have oc
[ curred, involving national changes of peculiar
I moment. The .civil war of our own country,
| which was at its height when the lust volume ot
i the old work appeared, has happily been ended,
j aud anew course of commercial aud industrial
! activity has been commenced,
j Large accessions to our geographical knowl
-1 edge huve been made by the indefatigable ex
plorers of Africa.
The great political revolutions of tho last de
cade, with the natural result ol the lapse ot time,
have brought into public view a multitude ol new i
men, whose uameH are iu every one’s mouth, aud i
of whose liveH every one is curious to kuow the
particulars. Great battles have been fought aud
important sieges maintained, ol which the de-j
tails are as yet preserved only iu the newspapers !
| or iu the transient publications of the day, hut I
; which ought uow to take their place iu perma- j
I neutaud authentic history.
Iu preparing the present edition f*r the press, i
it has accordingly been the aim ot the editors to
bing down tnu information to the latest possi- ;
ble dates, aud to furnish au accurate account of t
the most recent discoveries in science, of every
fresh production in literature, aud of the newest
inventions in the practical arts, as well as to give
a succinct aud original record of the progress of
political aud historical events.
The work has been begun after long and care
ful preliminary labor, and with tho most ample
I resources for carrying it on to a successiul terrn
! inatlon.
I None of the original utereotype plates have
been used, but every page has been printed on
new type, forming in fact anew Cyclopaedia, with
j the same plan aud compass as its predecessor,
j but with a far greater pecuniary expenditure,
and with such improvements iu its composition
as have been suggested by longer experience aud
enlarged knowledge.
The illustrations which aro introduced for the
first time in the present edition have been added
not for the sake ol pictorial effect, but to give j
greater lucidity aud force to tho explanations in j
the text. They embrace all branches of sendee :
and of uatural history, aud depict the most j
famous aud remarkable teat urea of *ceuery,

execution is enormous, aud it is believed they
will find a welcome reception as an admirable
of the Cyclopaedia, and worthy of its
high character.
