Journalism grows in China. The
native press of Hong Kong and
Shanghai is said to be constantly
widening its influence, and at Foo
chow anew paper has just been start
ed, After this, the Keely motor and
the deluge.
The Governor of China has deter
mined to send foreign ministers
and consulates to the courts of all
the loading countries. About one
hundred officials have already been
selected, and preparations for Bond
ing out delegations have begun.
The notorious criminal Forrester,
who was suspected and charged with
the Nathan murder, and who for that
offence obtained his liberty, now says
ho knows all about the murder, and
will tell If he secures his pardon from
a Westorn penitentiary, where he is
held for burglary. His statement
connects the police and some hiifh
New York officials in the bloody
deed.
The Vicksburg Herald says: “It
won’t be long before Mississippi
judges will change the form of sen
tericingaprlsoner, and will say: ‘Sam
Jones, stand up. You have been tried
and convicted, and are sentenced to
the State prison for an indefinite
period, as it is quite likely you will
bo pardoned out as soon as the Gov
ernor finds out what a rascal you
are.’”
Now the officeholders in the West
are frantically calling upon Grant to
make the and stand for
the third term. Their pretense for
thus asking every violation of prece
dent and modesty, they base upon
t'hoempty cry that inflation is assum
ing such gigantic proportions, that
he alone can whip the issue on a
hard money platform.
Negotiations have been for some
time going on between England and
France for an exebango of territory
on the west coast of Africa, and have
been concluded. England Is to cede
Gambia to France in exebango for
Dabon, Great Bassam, Assime and
the river Mellacoree. The object of
the exchange Is to bring the posses
sion of each couutry into closer con
tiguity with eneh other. In tho treaty
made the respective rights of British
and French subjects in the territory
ceded have been guaranteed. Tho
ratifications have not yet been made,
that of Franco being required by
law to bo made by the General As
sembly.
Foley’s bronzo statue of “Stone
wall” Jackson, wldoh is to bo scut to
Virginia,is now in tho London Itoynl
Art Gallery, and is thus described by
a correspondent of The Southern
Churchman: “The flguro is of heroic
size erect and noble; head uncovered;
right hand, grasping a gaunt let, rests
naturally upon the hip; on the left
arm hangs a military cloak, while
the left baud holds tho hilt of a
sword whoso point touches a pile of
hewn stones, its empty scabbard
hanging from a belt around the
waist." The form, the attitude, the
face and tho expression of the coun
tenance combine to make one of the
most impressive statues we have
evor seen.”

Our oIH friend, the little bird that
lies about so actively whenever the
political pot shows any signs of get
ting ready to boil, paid us a pop call
Hafsmluy. He had been up the coun
try to recruit his health, and on his
way back stopped over at Atlanta a
few hours. While there ho learned
that Governor Smith was by ivo
means an uninterested spectator of
tho moves now being made on the
chess board in regard to the Guber
natorial race next year. "In fact,”
said the little bird, ‘‘l was positively
informed that tho Governor had
agreed to leave his name with his
friends, to do with it as they saw best
in regard to that office.”
And with a knowing wink, ns if he
saw fun ahead, the little bird chirped
ta ta, and was off for home in a tre
mendous hurry.— Macon Telegraph.
If our “stern and impartial" Gov
ernor wishes to wear the “crown”
nwhile longer, ho must speak out
more unmistakably. If, like Grant,
lie really does not want another term,
and consents to make the sacrifice
only for themirnK’s good, may be tho
people will not exact, the sacrifice,
but rather content themselves in
making a selection from such noted
Georgians as Colquitt, Hardeman or
Johnson.
The losses sustained by the South
in the civil war are estimated by a
correspondent of tho Now York
livening Port to have been $1,284,000,-
000, independent of the slave proper
ty, which amounted to $2,400,000,000,
making a total of $2,684,000,000. But
the correspondent estimates that had
not the war occurred the wealth of
the South, taking the ratio of the de
cade ending 1860 as a test, would in
1870 have reached $15,381,000,000, in
stead of which it fell to only $6,462,-
000,000—a difference of nearly $10,000,-
000,000.
THE Cl KKKNCV qi EWTIOX.
The following extract is taken from
a letter written to the Troy (N. Y.)
Press by one of the leading lawyers
of Columbus. His sentiments are so
fully in accord with those of tho
Southern people, that wo reproduce
it In our columns. It is an able lot
tcr on the position of tho South on
this great question. If the East and
North will continue to desert the
Western Democracy on account of
inflation, there is no alternative left
the South and West but to act for
themselves. We have as many voters
as they, and it will be an easy task
for us to unite and elect u President.
We hopo the inflation, or rather non
contraction movement may be harmo
nized, and made a part of tho Nation
al platform ; but we believe It will be
of such grave Importance that it will
be a prominent feature:
“Admit the Democrats of Ohio ure
inclined towards Inflation; and that
the Radicals are just a little inclined
towards contraction ; what of it? Is
tho whole country to bo agitated over
the matter? Is the eloction of a Gov
ernor in Ohio of such national im
portance as to agitato the whole
country and to control the issues in
the coming presidential election? We
don’t pretend to be able to see clear
through a mill stone, but we think
we can see very clearly through this
business. The West and the South
are indebted untold millions to tho
capitalists in the East. This in
debtedness was contracted when the
currency was from fifteen to thirty
per cent, below par. The bonds of
all these .States, und of railroad and
municipal corporations, to an im
mense amount, are held by parties in
New York and New England ; and of
course it would be very agreeable to
them to receive payment in a cur
rency that would lie equal to gold,
thereby saving to themselves fifteen
or twenty per cent on this immense
amount of indebtedness. Who
illumes them for being in favor
of specie payments and con
traction of tile currency ? This
shows their soundness on the curren
cy question and their groat financial
skill and ability. Tho West and the
South can't exactly see it in that
way, not being skilled in financial
mutters, and innocently think the
debt should be paid with a currency
about as it was when the debt was
contracted. In their innocent sim
plicity, they want to know why it is
that the press and tho politicians of
New York and New England are so
unanimously in favor of contraction,
and for hard money, immediately, if
not sooner, whilst at the same time a
majority of the people South and
West are opposed to immediate eon
traction. What does all tills mean ?
Why this groat hue and cry just now V
Allen und Thurman and Hendricks
have all been mentioned as possible
candidates for the Presidency next
year. They are all Western men,
and the Western people are opposed
to an immediate contraction of the
currency; and therefore these men are
not sound, are not to tie trusted
and must bo put down. Allen
lias been nominated for Governor
of Ohio. Ho was elected two years
ago and his prosper,t, has been consid
ered good for re-election by a large
majority; but bo Is running ou a
platform against contraction of the
currency, and that is against tho in
terest of the bondholders and ho must
bo defeated. The Radical party is
opposed to his election, and that was
to bo exiwicted ; but wedid not expect
to sec Democrats turn the cold
shoulder upon him. But what did
wo see ? If we read the signs of the
times aright, nearly every Democrat
ic paper in New York and New Eng
land would be glad to seo him defeat
ed. They throw cold water upon ev
ery effort, made in his behalf; they
denounce and ridicule every man
who dares to advocate his cause and
his platform. And my thoughts
might, as well have utterance, and 1
do believe the New Y'ork Worhl and a
majority of the press in New
York would rejoice with exceed
ing great, joy to seo Allen de
feated in the coming election. And
I must include the Troy Press in that
number. In the low down andsecret
chamber of your heart, Mr. Editor,
would you not rejoice to sqc Allen
defeatod! I believe you would—and
1 believe you and many others would
say you did it all for principle. Speak
out, and let us know how tin* matter
stands. You control one of the lead
ing Democratic organs and have great
influence in mouldingpublicopiuion.
Is this question of tho currency to lie
made the great, leading, overshadow
ing question iu the Presidential elec
tion ? If so, let us know it. Do the
bondholders control the Government!
Have they the power to nominate and
elect our Presidents! Do they hold
In the hollow of their hands the se
cret power to contraot the currency
at their pleasure? Have they at
their heels the entire press of New
Vork and New England, and have
tliey determined upon the sud
den contraction of the currency and
to bring us down to a specie basis at
an early day? If these things be so,
it is but. fair that we should know it.
True, the South and West have not
inanv modern and expert jinanreiers,
like Jim Fisk, Jay Cooke and others;
but tliey have, when combined, a
good many voters. And perhaps you
ad better not drive them to tho wall
on tliis question. All these sneers
and jeers and denunciations that are
being heaped upon these leading men
of tho West may yet bear fruit that
will bo bitter to the taste of the mon
ey-changers and bond-holders. If
this question is prematurely thrust
forward and made tho leading issue,
tlie West and the Soutli may possibly
strike hands and set up for them
selves, and eloet a President of their
own selection, and upon a platform
of inflation that is not now dreamed
of. They are not for repudiation, nor
are they now for any positive infla
tion, but they are opposed to any sud
den contraction, and if that is tho is
sue tliey are ready to meet It.”
A wild boy was lately captured near j
Austin, Texas. He was first discov- j
ered wallowing in a pond of shallow
water, and when approached ho
broke like a quarter-horse, running
about a mile before he could be over
taken by men on ponies. Hiding up
near, the boy was lassoed, when a
fierce contest ensued, the strange be
ing striking, kicking and lunging
about in a most fearful manner, and
apparently being frightened almost
to death. Finally ho was overpow
ered, tied and taken to the house of
the man who first discovered him.
His bodv was covered with hair about
four inches long, and, from size and
appearance, lie is supposed to bo
about twelve years old. He is una
ble to talk, but possesses reasoning
power, and now follows his captor
about like a dog.
There are not near so many people
ready to serve the Khedive, since the
Abyssiuians are invading his territo
ry, and he finds it necessary to call
in his troops into active service.
Recently two inkstands and a pen
were dug up at Pomiieil. The pea is
of metal, and made almost similar in
shape to our quill pens, so in the
writing line the moderns are not so
far ahead after all.

We received the following circular
with the request to publish for the
information of our Alabama readers.
This wo cheerfully do, and congrat
ulate them upon tho result of tho eloc
tion and selection of their Executive
Chairman and Secretary:
Rooms of the State Executive 1
Committee, oe the Democratic I
ami Conservative Party, !
Montgomery, Ala., August 13,1875. J
Dear Sir: Every county in tho
Slate has been heard from, and the
people of Alabama, struggling amid
many difficulties, have madeanothcr
great and important step towards se
curing for themselves and their chil
dren the blessings of good Govern
ment.
According to the returns, as hasti
ly forwarded to this office, by letter
and in mnny instances by telegram,
the majority for the Constitutional
Convention is about Hi,ooo votes. In
returns thus forwarded some slight
discrepancies are unavoidable, but
wo feel satisfied that tho official re
turns will make very little change in
tho above figures. We have delayed
this circular for several days in order
that we might be able to furnish you
as accurate a statement of tho rosult
us could be had prior to the publica
tion of the official returns. At this
election ninety-nine delegates were
elected to the Constitutional Conven
tion, and of these, our information is
that eighty-one are members of the
Democratic and Conservative party,
and tlie balance are Radicals and “In
dependents.” This has been a great
victory for the people, and the result
has shown that tlie success of the
people in this popular movement, un
der tlie providence of God, has been
mainly due to the harmony, organi
zation, und effortsof the Democratic
and Conservative party; to tho trans
cendent exertions made by the free
press of this .State; to tlie powerful
canvass made by curable and patri
otic speakers in tho field; to the pa
triotism and efficiency of our party
agencies in the different counties;
and above all to tho intelligence and
virtue of the people.
From the beginning to the end of
this canvass active and persistent ef
forts were made by the Radical lead
ers to try to divide our party, by of
fering the inducements of their sup
port and candidacy to what tliey call
ed “Independents,” their object in
tills being to disrupt und disorganize
our party, and thereby defeat the
Constitutional Convention and pave
tho way for anew ascendancy of the
Radical party in tho councils of this
State; but the patriotism and intelli
gence of the people wus equal to tlie
emergency, and the consequence was
that no Independents were elected,
except in negro counties, und by ne
gro votes, at tho bidding of the lead
ers of tho Radical party. The Radi
cal leaders literally flooded tho State
with addresses und circulars, filled
with all manner of misrepresenta
tions. Against all these tilings the
organization of our party, and the
power of the people, stood as firm as
rook. The Democratic and Conser
vative party of Alabama never has
been more compact and united in
spirit and purpose than it is to-dav.
This great party, comprising almost
tlie entire white population of this
State, and being in largo part the
men, and the descendants of the men,
who rescued its soil from tho domin
ion of the savage Indian, and who
pay its taxes and bear the burdens of
its Government, and have inaugura
ted and upheld its religious, and mor
al and social institutions, will not
breulc up nor break down at the bid
ding of any man or set of men, no
matter how pretentious and high
sounding his or their self-asserted
patriotism may be. Such a party
and such a people cun well afford to
laugh to scorn the shallow coalition
of a few sorehoaded office seekers,
who consent, to become the candi
dates of the Radical party, under the
name of being called Independents.
Tho mission of tliis great party lias
not ended, nor will it end until the
people of this State have received tho
benefit, of all tho reforms in their
State Government, which, under the
circumstances by which we are sur
rounded, a wise public policy de
mands. It Is to such a party and to
such a people that we send these con
gratulations, and rejoice with them
in the hour of their victory.

Aml > Johnson'* Romance.
"One who knew him” tells the Buf
falo Courier tho annexed incident in
tho early life of ex-Presidont John
son : He went to Laurens Court-house,
South Carolina, remaining two years,
working at his trade. Returning
when nineteen to North Carolina, he
fell in love with a young lady in Wako
county. Johnson was still poor, hav
ing nothing but the clothing on Ilia
back, and a horse, while the young
lady’s mother owned several negroes
ami claimed to belong to the upper
crust of society. She forbade the
young tailor to come to the house,
and strictly enjoined her daughter
never to speak to him. She had high
er aims for her daughter; a eoatless
tailor, she said, should never marry
into her family. Tho girl loved “An
dy,” and they had many interviews
at the back garden gate. Andy re
solved to emigrate to East Tennessee,
and, after an affectionate parting in
terview with his "sweetheart” at the
classic back gate, lie set out across
the mountains. The young lady af
terwards married a farmer, xnd lived
to see her first lover made President
of the United States. Johnson never
saw her but once again. In 1858 he
made speeches in North Carolina,
and, in the course of the canvass,
sought out the loved one of his early
days. She was living upon a farm,
the wife of a very plain man and in
the most moderate circumstances.
