An exchungo says the trade In mo

We want a Civil Damage Liquor
law to be passed at the next session
of the Legislature, and enforced with
rigid impartiality. Then will the ne
cessity for prohibitory, license, and
local option laws cease to trouble.
An Unpleasant Troth.— We un
told of a store in this city which has
been rented since the war for S3,S(XJ
]>cr annum ;it now rents for sHrtt>. It
is time that our merchants take hold
this matter and devise some means to
remedy It.
A Pleasant Announcement. Wo
arc informed that a gentleman lias
moved hie family from Troy, Ala., to
this city in order to educate four
daughters at the Columbus Female
College. Two months ago our wisest
old men pronounced the college
scheme to be impracticable.
Mr. Barter, of the Chicago Staatx
'/,titling, announces that that paper
will support Gen. Grant on a hard
money platform against any candi
date on a rag-money platform. If
there are two hard-money candidates
they will support the one opposing
tlie Kopublicun party.
Mas. Scott Siudons lias distin

local gentry and the officers and
men of the respective corps, Mrs. Mid
dens took a Martini-Henry rifle and
llrcd at the target, making a “bull’s
eye” the first time nnd a "centre”
with tier second shot.
The Atlanta Herald, with charac
teristic enterprise, comes to us in a
new eight-puge form. Its appearance
is much improved and evinces a de
termination to stop at no outlay in
order to excel all local opposition. It
publishes a weekly, semi-weekly,
daily morniug and evening papers,
and ought to prosper.

The Philadelphia Pre stands in
isolated disgrace among tho journals
of the country in commenting unfa
vorably upon ex-Presidont. Davis’ let
ter. It pronounces the letter "as in
tensely egotistical us it is imperti
nent.” The good sense of the North
ern people will not allow them to
share this sentiment.
Tub groat political contest of 1832
wits fought chiefly on the currency
question; ami the greater political
contest of 187 H wo four will be decided
upon that Issue also. The New York
World and Cincinnati Enquirer are to
bo blamed {or this. We hope the
greater issue of overcoming Radical
usurpations will yet becotno the chief
element in the approaching conflict.
Mu. W ells publishes in the X. T.
IIDrM an admirable letter, which wo
will givo our readers shortly. This
letter tnrows a clear and steady light
on two questions; first, whether our
custom-house taxation should bo for
revenue only, ..leaving trade free;
second, whether a necessity of reform
so imperious and persistent can be
overlooked by a party which is about
asking the people to commit to them
tlie conduct of the public business.
W can’t understand why agricul
tural fairs select politicians and law
yers to deliver their addresses for
them. The fanning interests in the
South embrace our best and most in
telligent men, and we think such ad
dresses should be delivered by prac
tical farmers who live on their plan
tations. It would be a good thing if
politicians could be kept out of our
agricultural conventions any way.
What is to prevent the establish
ment of a co-operative cotton factory
here, to be owned chiefly by opera
tives and laboring men? If our peo
ple had conversed with Dr. Ruther
ford, of the English delegation, rep
resenting the co-operative societies
of Oreat Britain, they would bo oon
\ ineed that the plan Is entirely feasi
ble. It is the best kind of a savings
bank, Remember that Mr. Browne
only paid $20,000 for his flourishing
mill, now spinning No. 20 yarn in
great quantities daily.
Tub monopolies now oppressing
Columbus force us to pay $8 a ton for
cool. Montgomery, which is not as
eutorprisiug as Columbus, gets coal
for $4 73 per ton. The apathy of our
people is truly amazing. Milledgc
ville, even, is not so discriminated
against ns is Columbus. Now, the
question Is if a man had invested
#OOO.OOO In an enterprise, aud owing
to the concentrated capital of u huge
corporation this amount of $600,000
would yield no revenue unless it was
reinforced by additional capital,
would not this individual contrive
some mentis to raise the necessary
additional amount ? En passant, wo
will state that we heard yesterday
that the Central Railroad intended to
move its shops from Columbus.
The suti(liern Parinr Railroad.
With regard to the Southern Pueiflc
Railroad the Petersburg Nttr* has the
following suggestions:
That tlie Incorporators now in
Scott's bill be dropped, and that in
lieu of them Congress ahull authorize
tho Governors or Legislatures of the
States of Virginia, North and South
Carolina, Georgia, Tennessee, Ala
bama, Louisiana, Arkansas and
Texas, each, appoint three repre
sentative men who shall constitute a
board of commissioners with full
power to urrungo for the construction
of this work, the disbursements of
the funds and its control after
construction. That the guugu of
tho work he fixed at live feet
to conform to tlie ruling guugo of
the Southern railway system. That
its main line isi confined to the thirty
second parallel, and that no lines run
ning north or northeast from any
point west of Marshall, Texas, be al
lowed to consolidate with the main
corporation. That the main line
may be extended by consolidation,
purchase or otherwise, to the oust
liank of tlie Mississippi river, at or
near Memphis, and tfxat tho Missis
sippi river he bridged at the point of
crossing. To effect this latter and
most important object, tho aid al
ready asked for will be sufficient, and
a corporation organized on tho basis
proposed, with Its bonds endorsed by
the United States, can have no diffi
culty in raising tho necessary funds
or in finding men to do the work,
who will not farm out their duties to
bogus construction companies of
which they are the chief beneficia
ries.
Such u work would not only lie a
“Southern line” but a Southern road
also; and surely if it had its choice it
must ho presumed that the South
would prefer that a Southern road
should be controlled by Southern
men, and primarily in tho interests
of Southern people.
We agree with our cotemporary in
thinking that, if tho Southern Pacific
Hoad is to bo endorsed by Congress,
und Congressional aid furnished to
construct it, tlie measure will he only
one of simple justice to the South;
and approve its suggestion to have it
free from entangling alliances. But
we have no hope that Congress will
endorse any scheme for the develop
ment of the South exclusively. To
thoroughly protect tho Mississippi
by a system of levees constructed on
the plan suggested above, we think,
would bo wortti more to the South
and to the Government, and would
probably rcoeive more favorable con
sideration before the Congress.
The Northern mind seems incapa
ble of realizing us a fact what can lie
proved by our citizens of Northern
birth, viz.: that our white farmers
work as much ns the white farmers
of any country under the sun. Of
course where it is more profitable to
superintend the work of cheap labor
men of sense will do that. Tho most
prominent fact is that negroes as a
mass know nothing else but farm
work, and hence the apparent work
done by them tends to make the
casual observer think that Southern
white men are indolent. They are no
more indolent now than they were
during tlie war, anil Federal soldiers
then had ample reason to know t hut
they were neither indolent nor cow
ardly.
The Massacre Panic.— The negro
scare in Georgiu seems to have been
gotten up for political effect. So far
uo conclusive proof of an intention
■to massacre has been found, and in
all probability no such tiling ever
existed. Even tlie most ignorant of
the blacks must feel that to bring on
a war of races would be to Insure
their own destruction. N. Y. llerahl.
When such men as Judge Herschel
V. Johnson think It necessary to call
an extra session of the Superior Court
in order to try tlie offenders, and the
iiest citizen of tlie county think it an
extensive conspiracy, such a criticism
as that given above is unworthy so
great a journal as the New York Jler
ahl.
Millions of dollars’ worth of prop
erty is annually destroyed along the
line ot the Mississippi and Its tributa
ries which would be saved if a deter
mined, united and well directed ef
fort was made to remedy evils that
arise from ignorance, apathy and
jealosy. The United States engineers
who were detailed to examine and
report on the Mississippi levee sys
tem and the general condition of tlie
river have recommended the remod
eling of the whole plan of dyking
out tho waters from Cairo to the Gulf.
This work should be commenced at
once. -A. F. Herald.
And Congress should do it, just as
it built the Illinois Central, and Un
ion Pacific Railroads. This much is
due to the despoiled South.
The New England cities have given
us good examples in dealing with idle
vagrants. This is the way they serve
the tramps:
The city of Lowell, Mass., makes
trainps work three hours in the gravel
pits, loading carts; Worcester makes
them sweep the streets; Now Bedford
and Fitchburg arrest them as va
grants; and these places are given a
wide berth bv the tramps. Pough
keepsie, N. Y., has a special law,
which requires food and lodging to
bo given these vagrant wanderers,
but labor compensation is required
of the latter; a erib of stone is piled
up, nnd tho loafing perogrinator is
forced to break it tine enough for ma
cadamizing purposes before pursuing
ids journey. Poughkeepsie is no
longer troubled. New Hampshire
Ims adopted severe laws, but without
adequate effect, until this season,
when they are strictly enforced.
The Southwestern States, includ
ing Mississippi, parts of Alabama
and Georgia and Arkansas, Louisi
ana and Texas, oontuin at this time
the greatest body of unopened fertile
soil on this continent—millions of
acres which, when they are brought
into subjection, will produce sugar,
cotton and tobacco enough to make
the South the wealthiest region in
tlio world, But, besides this, the
Southern States have very great de
posits of the best iron ore in the
world, immense and undeveloped
coal fields, and much other mineral
wealth. Moreover, a fair exhibition
of the results of the cotton manufac
ture alone in Georgia, South Carolina
and Mississippi at the Centennial
could not fail to surprise capitalists
in tho Nortli and Europe and draw
their attention to the remarkably
steady success of this branch of man
ufacturing.—A'. F. Herald.

■•I 111,11' OPINION.
lii our opinion Gov. Ttlden is the
representative man of the elements
which are to be mussed in 1870 against
Grantlsm, and in favor of a regenera
tion of the Government. In a recent
speech at Syraeuao the great ring
smasher of New York graphically de
lineated tho situation when he said
that on investigating tlie crimes of
those who wore confined in the jieni
tentiaries, nnd considering their
temptations, and then contemplat
ing the corruption und rascality of
men in high position, lie was appalled
at the inequality of human justice.
Shrevejiorl Time*.
Which is better—Grantlsm should
succeed in Ohio in October, or that
the Democracy inflation platform
should be endorsed? Tho inflation
platform is stupid, hut Grantism is
villainous. The one threatens anew
supply of pajier money, when we ul
reaily have more paper money than
wo can use, and when the attempt to
issue more would be defeated by the
absence of a demand, the other cor
rupts politics, undermines private
morality, promotes public robbery,
and impoverishes and ruins the peo
ple.
No matter what else you vote for,
vote against Grantism every time.
N. Y. San.
In these counties, tho great numer
ical superiority of the negroes was
the main source of the trouble. It
was tlie invitation to the slaughter
the ground-work of the conspiracy.
Peace will follow on tho conviction
that mere numbers are of little ac
count in the execution of such pro
jects, and that in the way of self
defense the whites hold the indspu
tahio mastery.— Jtarun Teleijrajili.
It is a notorious fact that no elec
tion in this State, before or since tlie
war, ever passed off more quietly
than the last. If the peace was any
where disturbed by so much as a tist
icuff it has not yet been made known.
If there was any fraudulent voting,
or any attempt to [>erpetrate fraud
on the part of either party, nobody
in Alabama knows anything of it.
[ Monig. Adv.
Tlie letter which we published yes
terday from Jefferson Davis to the
Winnebago County Agricultural So
ciety is marked by dignity, intelli
gence, and a sentiment of patriotism.
It docs credit to its author; and with
out containing a single word in con
demnation of those who huvo vio
lently opposed and prevented his
contemplated visit to Illinois, it
leaves them in an unenviable posi
tion. We take pleasure in saying
these words on such an occasion.
[N. Y. San.
No better illustration of the weak
ness of our Indian policy cun be
shown than that pursued iu Mon
tana, as described by a correspondent
of tho San Francisco Call, and which
wo give below:
Many depredations have been made
upon the people of Montana from
the direction of the Yellowstone, and
sortie eight years ago such were the
indioation of an intended massacre,
that an army of citizens rallied to
tho defence of the frontier, and incur
red expenses which afterwards cost
the Government very heavily. An
other similar crisis is probably nt
hand. Others will continue to occur
at intervals, until the abandonment
of the Yellowstone Valley by the In
dians is effected, and white settle
ments made there. Many lives und
millions of money could be saved,
and the finest unoccupied territory
on the continent made accessible to
settlers, if tho Government would
quit experimenting for the Indians,
and accomplish this single object for
its own citizens. Tt hus tried every
other remedy. It tried forts to pro
tect tlie country as a route for immi
grants. Tlie result was that the forts
were captured and tho soldiers mas
sacred. It then tried abandonment,
gave tho country to the Indians, and
irohibited whites from entering it.
Frequent collisions between the
tribes, and frequent murders of the
whites, rendered this policy imprac
ticable. It then tried purchase, and
sought to educate anil civilize the In
dians. This has proved the greatest,
failure of all. And now it is seeking
to remove tlie friendly Indians from
the valley to another'that will soon
be wanted, and leave the whole coun
try exposed to constant massacre.
Every successive act lias been one
step backward, in a policy commenc
ing with retrogression, until now
foroible expulsion of the Indians by
the whites, or of the whites liy the
Indians, or a treaty of cession by tile
Indians to the Goverment, and their
abandonment of tlie entire valley,
ate the only remedies. The river Is
navigable, and will be navigated.
Settlers have gone into the valley,
and they will continue to go there.
This process can no be arrested than
Niagara. Government edicts are
mere ropes of sand when employed
to stay the march of Improvement.

Tlie Urrntest Drop 111 the Woi-lit.
Tlie hay crop of the United States
for the last year is reported to be
over -27,000,(too tons cured. This at
#2O per ton is about $50,000,000 and
does not include what was eaten but
not cured. The live stock of tlie
United States was worth $1,525,000,-
ouo. They had to gt their living out
of grass. The value of animals slaugh
tered for food in that year was s:too,-
000.000. The butter crop was $514,-
000,000. This all came from grass.
There were produced 2:15,000,000 gal
lons of milk worth 25,iiiio,(NXi. This,
too, came from grass. Next., 100,000,-
000 pounds of wool, at $25,000,000, at
$25,000,000. This got its living from
grass. Next. 5:1,H00,000 pounds of
cheese, worth $5,000,000. Put all
these items together and tlie grass
product of 1874 of the United Slates
was no less than $1,2112,000,000. The
total value of all agricultural pro
ducts in the United States was $2,447,-
538,668. in other words, the grass
crop of the United States cun pay off
the national debt in two years.
Oak Getting Scarce in Europe.
From statistics recently published,
it appears that oak timber especially
is rapidly disappearing from Europe,
although half of the urea of Sweden,
one-fourth of Norway, one-sixth that
of Switzerland, and 780, 000 square
miles in Russia are said to bo vet in
forest. The consumption of oak in
France Ikes doubled during the last
fifty years; she requires' 15,000,000
cubic feet yearly for wine casks alone,
$50,000 for building purposes, 000,000
cubic feet for her licet, and 150, 000
cubic feet for railway carriages; £B,-
000,IKK) worth of staves wore imported
in 1802 ; £5,000,01*0 worth ure now need
ed. Since losing Alsace and Lor
raine, France eontalnes 150,000 acres ;
20,000,000 f>f tliis surface is covered
with forest. Holland and Belgium
are nearly denuded of timber, and
are large importers. North Germany
is rich in forest, but within half a
century lias commenced to cut down
young trees. Austria has sold her
forests since railways have been in
troduced. Iu Italy no forests remain.
Sixain and Greece are almost wood
less. The southern coast of tlie Med
iterranean is almost forestless.
The White Sulphur Springs Hotel,
Ya., will be pulled down next year.
It cost $1,000,000, and has paid no
dividends.
