Mn. IhreriiEii preached to more
limn four thousand person* ut the
Twin Mountain House last Sunday.
Jn 1825 there was only a population
of ninety white people in the colony
of Victoria, Australia. Now it ex
weds 1,000,c0n. Melbmirc has public
institutions that will compare favor
ably with much larger European and
American cities.
Healed proposals have been made
to Jeff. Davis to become President
of the female college at Columbus,
(In. Hope he will take Ills hoop
skirts ulong. Of course, his late ad
venture In a Houthern sleeping-cur
lias eminently qualified him for the
position. WaehlngUm Chgonidc.
The above is a lie In the lirst place;
and, secondly, it is a whole lie;
while the third statement, Is nothing
but a lie. The whole is the essence
of contemptible malice, propped by
unscrupulous mendacity.

The New York Herald say*: “It is re
ported that Alexander H. Stephens
thinks seriously of running as inde
pendent candidate for Governor of
Georgia this full. If lie does it. if
pretty certain that lie will curry the
State. The Democrats have at leust
half a dozen candidates, most of them
eminent men in the State, and each
with a strong backing. The State is
ho strongly Democratic that unless
some man like Stephens or Governor
Hrown runs on an independent ticket
the Democratic nominee is sure of an
election.”
Neither Mr. Stephens nor ex-Gov
ernor Brown stand uny chance to be
elected to office by the white people
of Georgia, and if they were elected
by the negroes, led by carpet-bag
gers and renegades, It would bo the
most unfortunate act of their lives.
Tlie people want their Governor to
be like Caesar's wife, above suspicion,
and whatever may have been tlie
motives that actuated these two of
Georgia’s ablest statesmen, their po
litical conduct since tho war does not
meet with popular sanction, while
Governor Brown has rendered him
self politically obnoxious to tho mass
of our white citizens.

The mints of the country uro pre
paring to meet all demands for silver
coin that may urise through tho sub
stitution of coin for the present frac
tional currency. The capacity of the
mints at Philadelphia, San Francisco
and Carson City will reach $4,000,000
for tho two months ending the 30th
Instant. The Treasury how has $20,-
000,000 of silver, $4,000,000 of which
are yet in tins form of bullion await
ing to be coined. Gn the lirst of Au
gust tho outstanding fractional cur
rency was about $41,000,000, and this
amount has boon reduced by destruc
tion this months to $30,000,000. Ac
exchange says:
In beginning the redemption of
fractional currency, it is understood
tliut the intention of Secretary Bris
tow Is to call in all denominations
under llfty cents, which Includes,
three, live, liftoeu and twenty-live
cent notes issued since 1802, and
which, it. is estimated, will require
$2,000,000 of live, ten ami twenty-live
cent suhsldary coin to provide for the
teiii|M>rary hoarding and actual de
mands of business. The fifty-oent
notes will then be called in.
It is computed that at tho present
price of silver bullion, silver coins
could lie kept in circulation when the
price of gold does not exceed lit;
that is, there would be no profit in
meltiug down the coins and selling
the silver if the premium on gold
could be kept at or below eleven per
cent. Mr. Bristow’s success depends
on so managing the fiscal operations
of the Government us to keep down
the price of gold to thepointat which
silver nan be kept in circulation.

Another supreme Court.
The Columbus Timeh has the fol
lowing :
“That our Supreme Court Judges
are overworked all will admit, kis
equally certain that some remedy j
should bo devised to correct the evil '
and to secure precedents useful and
settled. Various plans have been
proposed. We think an increase of
salary will cure tho evil, but that
three other Judges should be ap
pointed and two courts formed, each
having jurisdiction over a defined sec
tion of the Slate, and both sitting at
the capital. When u question of
great importance arises, or doubts
should arise in one of tho courts as
to what the law is any particular
case, a provision might be made for a
conference of both courts, the oldest
Chief Justice presiding. We believe
tllia plan has worked well in Eng
land, and suggest that it be adopted
in Georgia, at least until the mass of
business evolved by tho late war is
disposed of, and re-re-recconstruc- j
tion is complete.
Something like this was done in
New York just after the war and
worked well, a Commission of Ap
i>eals, or a second Supreme Court,
having been authorized to bring up
tho bock eases while the regular
Court of Appeals wont on deciding
the now eases as fast as they arose.
The difficulty in Georgia is that an
amendment of the Constitution would
probably be necessary, and if so would
take three or four years to perfect;
but possibly the legislature might
authorize anew court direct, ns the
judicial power by the Constitution
extends not only to the tribunals
uuined in that instrument, hut “such
other oourts as have been, or may be,
established by law.” The main point
Is, as the Turn well says, “to secure ;
precedents useful and nettled," and if
this valuable and all-important point
of certainty and fixity in the deeis- i
lons can be obtained by another Su
preme Court, or Appeal Commission,
the legislature might profitably heed
our contemporary's suggestion. Ait- ,

The Columbus Times elaborately
protravs the blighting effects of
monopolies. It wants to save the
city from becoming “a mere wav
station” on tho Central railroad,
which has grits put its railroad and
river facilities, and holds the citv
down by high freight tariffs. The
remedy clearly lies iu a speedily ex
tension of the North and South road
to Atlanta, and wc hope the Times
will aid us in pushing that very de
sirable enterpslse.— Atlanta Conntttn

PACIFIC.
[Washington Cor. Cincinnati Commercial, j
One thing seems to he pretty well
settled, and that Is that the Southern
Pacific ltuilroud scheme will bo In
dorsed by tho next Congress. Tom
Scott and a few other Northern men,
directors and promoters of tho pro
ject, are to be dropped, and their
places filled by strong representative
Southern men, such as ex-Gov. Boriah
Magoffin, of Kentucky. These men
are to bo selected from North Caroli
na, Georgia, Kentucky, Virginia, Al
abama, Louisiana ami Texas, and
will be of great Inllueneo among the
new Congressmen from tho South.
Tho House secured, tho next step will
be to capture the Senate; but that
will not he so difficult a job as might
at first bo supposed. It, has come to
be u common saying, never disputed
hero, that “anything can be put
through tho Senate.” There was
some show of hesitation in the Sen
ate with regard to the Tom Scott bill,
lost winter, but it, was not genuine.
Y'es; and there is another thing
that should be “pretty well settled,”
and that is, that no Southern Con
gressman should, even for an instant,
entertain any proposition looking to
ward tho granting of any national aid
to the Texas & Pacific Ituilway Com
pany unless tho Board of Directors,
President and Chief Engineer are
men whoso t>ersonul character for
honesty and integrity is above all re
proach. No one who lias tho taint
of tho “Credit Mobilier” corruption
upon his garments is worthy to place
in a position of such trust.
We are not scctlonul in this mutter;
for this is a great “national enter
prise.” But we do demand and our
Southern press will, we are sure, rally
to our support in this that a very
radical change must be effected in
the Board of Directors, and that Col.
Torn Scott, the President of the road,
and Gen. B. M. Dodge, of “Credit
Mobilier” fame, be retired. The po
sitions of President and Chief Engi
neer are too responsible ones not to
be filled by tnon whom the whole
country can bo well assured will make
no improper use of their high offices.
The position of tho Chief Engineer is
especially one to bo filled by a most
competent and honest man, us the
estimates for work dono would he
approved by him, and by collusion
with the contractors, a vast amount
of company money can bo so manip
ulated as to pass into his pockets
without suspicion attaching to him.
Thousands of dollars wore uselessly
expended through the incompetency
and errors of the subordinate engi
neers on the construction of the line
between Longview and Dallas, and
on the trans-continental division.
When the head Is corrupt, the other
members of the body are not pure.
During those flush times the anom
aly was seen of tho Chief Engineer
of the Texas & Pacific Railway Com
pany, occupying also the position of
the California & Texas Construction
Company’s Chief Engineer. That is,
he was contractor and engineer at
tho same time.
The California & Texas Construc
tion Company is now, thanks to tho
panic, no more. A more corrupt set
were never gathered together.
Wo do not either wish, or expect,
t hat all of the high offices on the
road should be filled by Southern
men ; but the company can hardly
believe that a Democratic House will
consent to aid any enterprise that
would wield so much power if placed
on a successful footing, when it re
tains at its heads such men as Scott,
Dodge and Col. John W. Forney. If
the Texas A Pacific Railway Con’tpa
ny desire the support of the South
ern Delegation, we will whisper a
few words of advice into their ears;
and that is this; They must
give tho South an equal show
in the selections of its officers, and
the wliolo Board must be men of
gpotleee reputation.
There is yet left a sufficiency of
good material to meet our just re
quirements. Let them elect siteli
men us Governor Magoffin, of Ken
tucky, or Col. John T. Grant, of At
lanta,as their President, and such un
engineer for their chief us Muj. Geo.
U. Wilson, formerly chief engineer
of the Southern Pacific Railroad, or
Col. Geo. H. Hazlelmrst, of Macon,
(two of the most eminent engineers
in the United States,) and
the people will be satisfied
tlffit the money raised on the
sale of the bonds, which the Govern
ment is asked to endorse, will go
toward the building of the road, and
not toward enriching its officers.
We shall have something more to
say on this subject when the T. & P.
B. R. bill is brought before Congress,
and if a lot of thieves are placed at
the head of the company you can
count us “agin” the bill from its very
inception.
Sooner than see the great national
highway built by fraud and Credit
Mobiliers, we would rather see the
gate to the Pacific barred forever
against us.
The Territory Involved.
One of our exchanges has thrown
together the peoples which are likely ,
to be immediately involved in the re
volt of the Turkish province of Her
zegovina, should the insurrection
spread. It will bo of interest to some
of our readers, and is reproduced as
follows:
The teritory north of the Balkan
range, which sympathizes with tlie
revolt in Turkey, is divided into the
following States and provinces:
Herzegoviniu 200,000
Montenegro 200,000
Turkish Croatia 1,000,000
Servia 1.200,000
Bosnia 2.000,000
Bulgaria 2,500.000
Roumania (Wulluehia and
Moldavia) 4,000,000
Total 11,000,000
Niue millions of these are Chris
tians of the Greek faith; there are
one million Catholics, and one hun
dred thousand Jews. The territory
embraced contains about one hun
dred and forty thousand square miles.

Artuul situation.
It is not often that a Republican
paper finds aught to commend in
Southern Democratic administration.
Tho subjoined tribute, therefore,
coming from the source it does, is
especially gratifying. Gov. Smith
unquestionably merits high praise
for tho marked discretion which lie
evinced in the midst of the recent
excitement in the eastern part of the
State, and “we shudder to think"
what would have ensued had ho fol
lowed the counsels of those who
clamored for tho calling out of the
military. All praiso, then, to our
Governor for his conduct on this deli
cate occasion!
The negro is now free and knows
well ho has nothing to gain by insur
rection. Prompt arrests, followed by
speedy and fair trials, is a sufficient
treatment for any “ outbreak ” busi
ness we shall bo troubled with. Let
our people continue to treat the ne
gro justly and kindly und we can
afford, as the New York Herald has
it, to put our tongues to our cheeks
when we next hear about negro in
surrections :
It is not often that such scenes of
popular excitement as were witnessed
last week In Eastern Georgia are al
lowed to pass away without the shed
ding of blood. Tliut tho whites and
blacks in the lately disturbed section
are not murdering each other to-day
is owing to the ealmness and discre
tion of Gov. Smith and to a general
respect for law and order, no less
than to that kindly feeling between
the better class of men in either race
which has been displayed by the
people of Georgia in many ways dur
ing the past few years, and which Inis
gained for their State a reputation
for good order like that of Virginia
and North Carolina. Our special dis
patch from Augusta, which gives the
only connected and intelligible ac
count of the recent scare yet pub
lished, shows that tho apprehensions
of tlio whites were not groundless,
but that the negroes who were at the j
bottom of the plot wore probably ac
tuated by desire for notoriety and
power more than by any malicious [
motive, while many who were com- j
milted to the movement were blindly
following these self-constituted lead-;
ers. The spread of fear and susni- j
cion among the whites and the whole-1
sale arrests of negroes aggravated •
the dangers of the .situation, so that
we shudder to think what would have j
followed had not the former called in j
Judge Johnson instead of Judge I
Lynch to bring the incendiaries to
justice. As it is, the persons now
lying in the comity juiis may expect
a fair trial, and the punishment of
those who are guilty will give assur
ance of iiermarient peace.
Extracts from the speech of Hon.
John F. Swift, in Son Francisco, on
“The Contest of the Great Monopolies
Against the People
Competition is indeed a most use
ful thing in regulating prices and
keeping them within Bounds; but
you must take care and have the com
petition, else the problem fails.
In the New England States of this
Union there is still enough competi
tion left to keep prices reasonably
low.
Even in the West t here is still ranch
competition.
In Wisconsin and Illinois, where
railroad laws have been passed, there
remains so much competition tliut it
is possible that so far us prices are
concerned, tho statutes have not re
duced them below what; they are kept
bv the ordinary laws of trade.
The entire Northwestern Slate- are
traversed and cut u]> in every direc
tion by independent, and as yet com
peting, lines of ruilrouds. It is sur
rounded and crossed by great lakes
and splendid navigable rivers. Up
to this time no railroad corporation
in the great West has interfered in
either ocean or inland water naviga
tion, as has been done In California.
The Government has in no instance
built up iu that country one eollossal
railroad system and given it away to
a few favored individuals, thereby de
pressing nil others and enabling
them to control nil the transporta
tion by water or by land.
ONE OF VANXpKItBU/r’s DF.CHEEH,
Last year a meeting was held in
the private parlor of a railroad com
pany, in New York city. Venderbilt
and four or five railroad magnates
were present. It. was rather a fes
live and pleasant, affair, at least to
those present. A great; deal of cham
pagne was drank, and many cigars
were smoked. But before the uion
arohs rose up from the table, they
had levied an annual tax upon the
Western States of over s:)ri,uoo,iKio.
They hud done ttiis by the simple act
of agreeing toil combination, where
by the freight on wheat was advanced
half a cent per ton a mile. And this
sort of thing is not confined to the
Atlantic States alone. This very
Spring, not above six mouths ago,
t he Central Pacific Railroad, by mere
scratch of the pen, so to speak, ad
vanced their tariffs of freight so as
to raise upon this coast, according to
estimates of competent judges, SB,-
000,000 per year more than Inst year.
In taxing iis this vast sum, ought
they not give us a reason? if it is as
return upon capital invested, is there
any reason why they should not be
willing to prove it ?
A 1,1. MONOPOLIES Mt'.ST BE llEOfl.lTEl)
BY LAW.
The People’s Independent party
tnks the ground that all monopolies
should be regulated by law. We hold
that unlimited power given to any
man to take other people’s money
must in the nature of tilings be
abused. The proposition is based
upon the universal experience of j
mankind. Give any human institu
tion, whether it be a corporation
holding industry and commerce in
subjection through the monopoly of
some condition necessary to society,
or whether it is a despot ruling the
State at his own unrestricted caprice,
in the end the only limit that will
ever be placed upon their exactions
will be the point where tho commu
nity is rendered loss able to pay.
They may in their selfishness pre
serve the goose that lays the golden
egg from actual death, but they will
starve her till she hasn't a feather to
fly with.
Let the reader ponder on what the
Central Railroad combination is do
ing against the interests of Colum
bus. “You must take care and have
the competition, else the goose that
lays the golden egg will be starved
so that she will not have a feat her to
soar upwards with.”
Thiv gloomy report concerning
the cotton eropof Clay county is from
theCuthbert Apjietd of Friday: "The
cotton crop of this county has been
so seriously injured by rust that we
cannot hope for more than a two
thirds crop, and if the rains, which
have been so general, continue but a
few days, we oapitallyjdoubt even if
a half crop be made.”

Among tlie many distinguished
guests at the White Sulphur Is Gener
al Toombs. Wo have never met a
| man who possessed so much of that
I indefinable attractiveness which wo
endeavor to describe by tho term per
sonal magnetism.
There is something very fascina
ting about this type of tlie unrecon
structed; a frankness of manner,
boldness of utterance and originality
of thought and expression which en
chain the listener. Y’ou forget, his
political unorthodxy, you forget how
peculiarly ho is un object for a six
teenth amendment, or of special mis
sionary work, or of a day of fasting
and prayer throughout the politico
religious churches of the land, and
feel that you are in tho presence of a
man who has been always a leader
among men, a man bigoted ns John

respects 88 generous and broad mind

A New Step in Journalism. The
Erening Telegram of yesterday was
issued at ten o’clock in the morning,
containing a special cable dispatch
giving a full account of the London
money market at one o’clock on the
same day. This our afternoon con
temporary is able to do because of
tho difference In time between Lon
don and New York. It is a dis
tinct feature of tho progress of mod
ern journalism. We should think
that a report of this kind, gathered
by accurate correspondents, and in
the hands of every merchant before
he begins business, would be inval
uable. It will especially prevent any
attempt to change the price of stocks
for gambling purposes, as has so fre
quently been done with the other re
ports. It will, furthermore, give for
two cents the price of the Telegram
the same news which is furnished
by private news companies to sub
