The “Blank Death” scourge, which
has recently appeared in the rivors
Tigris and Euphrates, is the same
which destroyed millions of lives In
Europe aud Asia during the four
teenth century.
Ex -Governor B. Grate Brown, of
Missouri, has indicated his inten
tion to take part in the Ohio cam
paign in advocacy of tbo re-election
of Governor Alien. He endorses the
expansion platform of the Ohio Dem

The question of who killed the
Yankee General McPherson is now
agitating the Memphis AvaUmcUe.
That paper produces throe letters to
show that ho was killed by Cleburne’s
Division, and immediately by Cor
poral Coleman, ofthe Fifth Tennessee
Confederate Begiment.
Brother-in-law Casev lias been
giving his interpretation of the Presi
dent’s third term letter. He said to
a reporter of the Galveston jVetos re
cently: “President Grant meant
just what he said. The President
talks very freely to me, and I know
that iu so doing he states precisely
ills sontuneuts. He has no doslro to
boa candidate again. He does not
wish a third term. But if ho is re
garded by his party as the most
available man, ho will serve another
term. Ho does not wish tho office
again, but will accept it if tho good
faith of the invrty or the country re
quires it at his bauds.”
The Now York Tribune says:
“Blame it on tho climate, or our ner
vous system, or social life, as we
please, it is a fact that large or weighty
intellectual labor is to be hoped for
from aged men of American descent
for two gencneratlons only when
their lives, liko that of Mr. Longfel
low, have been spent in shades of let
tered ease aud wisely ruled both as to
thoueesof brain and body. On tho
other hand, physical and nervous
power and what wo call character
seldom reach their full development
lit au American until middle uge.
Men who took tho Southern States
out of the Union and the men who
brought them back were, with a few
exceptions, over fifty; tho best work
of our statesmen, scholars, authors,
in all but Imuginuto literature, has
been delayed to that age.”

Etlmnlnftlrnl Lecture* by Rev. Eilwanl
Fontaine.
Professor Agassiz is correct in his
opinion about tho deleterious influ
ence of the itifusion of negro blood
with that of the Caucasian. In his
journey to Brazil ho says: “Letany
one wlto doubts tho evil of this mix
ture, and is inclined, from a mistaken
philanthropy to break (town all barrie.ru
beturen them, come to Brazil. He

is rapidly effacing tho best qualities
of the white man, the negro and the
Indian, loaviug a mongrel nonde
script type, deficient in physical and
mental energy. At a time when the
social state# of Hie negro is a subject
of vital importance in our statesman*
ship, we should profit by the experi-
ence of tv country where, though sla
very extorts, l hero is a far more liber*
nitty towards,the f roe negro than ho
ever enjoyed in the United States.
Let us leant the double lesson; open
all the ml vantages of education to
the negro, ami give him every chance
of success which culture gives to the
man wb9 r ,hßovrs how to.nhe it: but

The national indilYereueo (in the
United States) to personal merit as a
qualification for office is botli a con
sequence of universal suffrage and a
cause of many unforseen results. A
vast community which has perhaps a
highor average of intelligence than
any other, is not known to possess a
single statesman or prominent citi
zen. An American Turquin would
not find a (lower to decapitate which
overtopped the neighboring plants.
Among tho most uotive politicians
half u dozen may bo notorious, but
not one can be called famous. Almost
every name which is familiur to the
general ear is associated with the
lowest form of faction, if not with
jieeuniary corruption.—Aondon Sat

Vilmiiihl ImlllTereiiPe to Personal Merit.
No criticism could be more just
than that, of the Loudon Saturday
Review. Tliis indifference to person
al merltnnd intelligence is the great
est curse to Republics. The war de
veloped the fact that our ablest men
lived in comparative obscurity until
theexigcucles of the country demand
ed their services. The scholarly
Jackson, who so well earned the nou
briqaet of “Stonewall,” and the lion
hearted Gordon, who “illustrated”
Georgia more than any of her sol
diers, were not soldiers by profession
or choice. Neither were they, strict
ly sjiealdflg,ambitious men, and each
would have lived quietly and unos
tentatiously, hud It not been for the
war. Modesty accompanies gfeat
talents of a high order, and tho mul
titude do not applaud the modest
man. Tho accomplished scholar
deeply versed in the science of gov
ernment, if ho ho modest, is beaten iu
the race for Legislative honors by the
brazen stump orator, who, with loud
tones and vlolont, gestures, appeals
to tlie prejudices of his audience
with the art of tho demagogue,
and the money of tbo corrnptor.
Hence tho danger of universal suf
frage when not accompanied and held
in chock by educational limits. None
should he allowed to vote who can
not appreciate the unhappy results
of electing ignorant and corrupt men :
to office. All the financial troubles
of tiie oountry, except those directly
traceable to the war, may he ascribed
to this single cause. The prostrate
energies of States, great in material
resources as uro Louisiana, Missis
sipi, or Alabama, wore caused by
electing to office unscrupulous men
noted for want of Integrity, and who
were utterly unfitted by education to
fill the offices to which they were
electod. Recently nn important coun
ty in Western Florida, in order to es
cape those pernicious results, sought
annexation to Alabama. The negroes j
from Georgia and Alabama flock to
Florida under tho impression that
one day that State will be given to
them, hence tho negro majority is
At the election referred
to the objects of the whites was ap
parently effected, wlicu a Radical ag
itator appeared at tho polls with a
wagon and brass band. The eon
.opurse of negro voters immediately
left tho polls, neglected to vote in
order to follow the music, and tho
cause of law and order was lost.
Comment upon universal suffrage,
when unrestricted by educational
limits, is unnecessary in view of such
facts as the above. If this educa
tional qualification were incorpora
ted in our State Constitution, the po
litical result would be tire early abo
lition of the color line. Tho Radical's
occupation would be gone ; the negro
raeo would rapidly become educated
citizens, and the onerous lux now
borne for purposes of public educa
tion would bo materially lightened.
We know that it Is unpopular to at
tack existing prejudices, and that.it
is safer to lend public opinion bij/oibw
ing It thut one may be considered con
servative, but we believe the mission
of journalism to ho to level upwards,
even If at first new suggestions found
ed on facts that, have already been
thoroughly tried successfully else
where, may not be well received.
We long for the time when a states

The Washington Chronicle is be
coming uneasy less the “new depart
ure” movement inaugurated for the
negroes by Fred Douglass, will prove
to be of some moment, and then the
Badieal party in tire South will have
no support. The newspaper to be
started as the negroes’ organ, is what
causes the alarm. The Chronicle
thinks the negroes have not profited
by their sad experience ih voting
with the Radicals since the war, and
still uses the thin argument that the
Democrats are not their friends, be
eauso we call them niggers.
We hope Fred Douglass will suc
ceed in lil'tiug the veil of delusion
from thg eyes of his race, and take
them out of tho Radical camp. They
have nover received anything for
their loyalty to the Republican par
ty, although office, and fat office has
been promised them. The Democrats
do not propose to elevate them to
office over the white man, who fought
and bled for this land, but we do
propose to give them their rights,
and insure them protection. If the
ambitions among them think they
can get the popular vote, they have
the privilege of running for office,but
tbeycunnotcount on tho support of
tho Democratic party. This, howev
er, is no new thing to them, for they
haye Hcarned that the white Radicals
did not vote for them, except in a few
instances, bnt evaded the issue by re
malnlngawuy from the polls, or feign
ing sickness or absence bn the day of]
election. Tho negro is bound to be
divided, spilt up, ami used by the par
ty t hut is sharp enough to get his
vote. Tlie Democrats make him no
loud sounding promises, but ask his
vote to assist in ridding the country
of tho mean white men who have
creptinto office by fair seem ing prom
ises made to the negro, and which
huvo never iu a single instance been
fulfilled. The negro does not dwell
at the North, but his race are among
the Southern people. To us, then,
must they look for acts of friend
ship, charity and protection. Their
entire interests dejiends upon the
prosperity of the South, and the
South belongs to the white face, and
will forever bo controlled and man
aged by them, when intelligence and
virtue takes the place of corruption,

Editor* Columbia i Timex: We have
sent you one letter from this town,
but its contents related solely to
another subject. Probably a line
concerning this quiet burgh, dear to
the hearts of many Georgians, will
not he amiss.
THE state HOUSE.
Tliq first tiling which attracts the
attention of a visitor when he ap
proaches MilledgevfUe, is tlie State
House, standing sombre and gray
upon an imposing eminence. Its
windows are burred and doors closed.
Tho house is truly a relic of bygone
days. It is sad to look ut it standing
silent and abandoned, like many of
the cherished hopes of its owners.
The hulls, which once were filled with
Gcorgiu’s pride, her great tnen and
ti'er beautiful women, are left to the
spiders and tlie dust. Around this
building linger associations of happy
halcyon days, when the noble sons
of the Commonwealth gathered here,
not induced by avarice and gain, but
of u love of country and Georgia’s
interest. There is one reflection In
looking upon this emblem of the
post: It’s threshold has never been
desecrated by the vile step at tlie
carpet-bagger, nor has its wails
been impregnated by the scent dr
Afriqm. Before our lawmakers
again meet here, as they will do in
some future day, we hope that all ev
idence of such characters will be
gone, never to return,
The Executive Mansion, with its
square, solid form, sjmeious rooms,
and extensive grounds, reminds one
of what Southern life used to lie, just
as the present mansion, with its nar
row design and minature rooms,
shows how we now live. The man
sion is now occupied by C. P. Craw
ford and his family.
MIDWAY.
One day last week we paid a visit
to Midway, the former site of Ogle
thorpe University. Tho buildings
und grounds of this beautiful little
village, once so flourishing, show
marks of ruin uud decay. The place
Is but a shadow of what It once was.
The old University chattel is crum
bling to ruin, and is a home fQC the
bat and the owl. The dormitories,
ouee merry with light-hearted col
lege boys, many of whom fill a sol- ;
dler’s grave, arc rotting .jind tum
bling. Tho Thalian building lias uu- j
dergoue recent repairs. It is occu
pied ut present by the Talmage
school, of which Mr, Benjamin T.
Hunter is rector.
This school is under the supervis
ion of the Presbyterian Church. The
Board of Trustees were in session
last. Thursday. Among the number
we noticed Rev. James 11. Nall, of
your city. The Talmage School Is
designed as a substitute for the de
funct. University. It has Been in op
eration one year. It enters upon Its
second year with favorable prospects*
The trustees, a body of prominent
and earnest men, are determined to
make it the pride of their Church, as
Oglethorpe once was. All they u-sk
is the support of the citizens of Geor
gia, especially of their own denomi
nation. Midway is the finest site for
a school wo ever saw.
