(Ollwlw tUUC).
A few days ago we called attention
to an editorial in the Atlanta <''muti
lation which concludes as follows;
“But tills throat-cutting, starvation
business must cease! The working
men can lind a remedy for it, and, if
pushed to the wall, will do so, but it
were I letter for all parties that, a fair
compromise, wlileh will give his hire
in a living Hiun to the worthy laborer,
should be made.”
We deprecated the use of such lan
guage and tho general bad effect that
would follow. In less than three
days after tho article appeared the
working men, in the shape of a dozen
Idle, thriftless negroes, fell upon and
sorely beat several negroes for no
other offense than that they were
working for reduced wages. Wo cau
tioned the Constitution that if they
ware going to prevent labor from
working by moboeraoy that it would
not bo tolerated in Atlanta or else
where. Tt seems we were right, for
the offending parties wore immedi
ately arrested and jailed.
As the Constitution had indirectly
counselled such a step, they should
linvo upheld the cause hi order to
have beou consistent. This is one of
the cases where it does not profit to
lie consistent, for to uphold and en
courage such lawlessness is a crime
against tho best interests of the coun
try. The Constitution has crawfished
about it however, and condemns It in
tho following manly article. It is a
great pity that sueli was not tho
warning given in advance:
Ho says he Is going back to work
this morning and that he would rat ti
er any day work for eighty-five cents
than do nothingand steal for a living.
Ho knows all the men who assaulted
him, and was out with the police last
night hunting them up; none, how
ever. except llrown, hud boon caught
to aWo hour. This kind of ruffian
ism may suit other places, but iiero
it ought to be nipped in the bud, and
wo hope ltoeorder Pendleton will this
morning give Brown such a dose of
the law, as will teach him to let hon
est laborers alone for somo time to
come.
“Following tho inevitable tendency
of commerce,” as the Baltimore <ln
tuits expresses it, the Brazilian mails
were yesterday transfered from the
steamship lines or New York to those
of Baltimore. This step saves an an
nual subsidy of $150,000,as the service
will bo performed from Baltimore for
the sea postage only. That city is
rapidly monopolizing the trade of the
South American ports.

Honesty is the host policy after all.
A farmer who lives near New[iort,
Itliode Island, came into town a few
days since and confessed to a grocer
with whom he had been dealing for
years that lie had cheated the latter
to the extent of $5 by short count on
eggs. He was rewarded for his hon
esty by the grocer's admission that
lie also had been cheating, having at
one time i>assed a counterfeit $lO bill
on the farmer.
A Western newspaper says that the
devil lias reserved several choice

tionsto newspapers with a lead l>en

Tlie Paroxysmal Kiss has been im
lsirtod iuto Illinois. The Rev. Hoff
man, of Rushvllle, is on trial before
his church for indulgence in that
line.
A SI'.W POLITICAL PAKTI.
It is not at all unreasonable to pro
phecy that anew political party will
spring up within the next year. There
[arc many hundreds of dissatisfied
and disaffected Republicans men
who either failed to be recognized for
office, or were unwilling further to
lend themselves to tho iniquities of
the Radical party. On the other hand,
! there aro a few disappointed office
! seekers In the Democratic ranks who
! are drifting about for some remuner
| ative harbor.
With the politics of the country in
this condition, we say it is not at. all
unreasonable to think there will u
new political party arise. Tho Re
publican party is seriously divided
throughout the country on the ques
tion of inflation. In tho North and
the Must the Democrats uro divided
on the same subject, the Western and
the Southern Democrats being almost
a unit in favor of no further contrac
tion. We think it a bad step to make
the Inflation movement a plank in
the coming Presidential canvass, but
tho subject is so absorbing, und each
day is assuming more gigantic pro
portions, until from necessity it may
enter the platform of both parties.
If It should he made an issue, and
upon It another party be formed, the
South and the West will bo forced to
join hands with that large body of
Northern and Eastern Democrats
and Repuhlicahs who are opposed to
resuming specie payment. We will
naturally take that side, if sueli anew
party is formod. For a souson, at
least, it will attract tho attention of
the Radical carrions from the South
ern earoass, and in that time we may
recuperate our political power.
It is to be hoped that such a move
ment, if mode, will make a high hid
for the Southern vote, by in fact and
in act declaring a general amnesty,
anil put a complete stop to the war
of persecution, now waged against
the South by the malignant North.
It seems from the following, which
wo dip from the New York Herahl,
that, u movement for the establish
ment of anew party is already in
process of construction:
“Wo acknowledge the receipt of an
Invitation from the United States
Legal Tchder Club, No. 1,193 Broad
way, room 20, dated August 13, 1875.
In this invitation we are respectfully
invited to call at the committee room
of the club at eight o’clock any even
ing during August and September, to
eo-operate with its members In their
efforts for a United States legal ten
der sound currency, based on the
faith and credit of the people of tho
United States and their general gov
ernment, and also on the revonues
paid by tho people to the United
States Treasury, and having in addi
tion a representative value in being
redeemable und interchangeable for
Uiroe-slxty-flvo United States bonds.
The secretary of tho club informs us,
also, that his organization is in favor
of tho issue of greenbacks for value
to a sufficient, amount to meet the de
mands of trade and to promote the
industries of the nation, and demand
that greenbacks shall meet tho ne
cessities of peace us they met those
of war. There is to be a series of
public meetings held in furtherance
of this proposition on tho Ist of Sep
tember. Tho people, says the Secre
tary, are with us against the Quixotic
hard money ring. They know and
feel that ‘ho who would bo free, him
self must strike the blow.’ ”

■1KA7.11..
A DESIGN TO HOLD ON TO PARAGUAY
THE EMPIRE LANGUISHING FOR
WANT OF BRAIN AND
LABOR.
From tlm Nuw York Herald.]
Rio Janeiro, July 25, 1875.
Tho Chambers are still engaged on
tile estimates, tho Senate on those of
the current Us cal year of 1875-76, and
tho Deputies on thoso of tho follow
ing year, 1870-77. As to tho former,
tlie Senate has t hese last days been
going heavily into tho late abortive
negotiations on the Paraguayan ques
tion, tho liberals uniting in censuring
tlie continued occupation of Para
guay, und iodising the past and pres
ent governments of Inciting the Para
guayans to reject, tlie propositions of
tlie Argentines. Doubtless the liber
als are right. Paraguay, if left to
itself, could not resist tho pressure
the Argentines could exert upon it;
but. at the same time, it, is not im
probable that if tlie liberals were in
bower they would Und themselves
forced to follow the same policy
which they censure with such heat
while they are in opposition, for it
cannot be denied that Brazil lias a
great interest in supporting Paraguay
as an independent State, to cover the
large frontier of Brazil with Paraguay
from the bellicose und aggressive Ar
gentine Republic, and to prevent the
Paraguay und Upper Parana becom
ing Argentine rivers, instead of, as
now, Mowing between two indepen
dent States. One-third of Brazil is
drained by the three Platino rivers.
Paraguay, Parana and Uruguay, ami
no government of Brazil can afford
to stand aloof from tho Plate while
the avowed purpose of the statesmen
at the head of the Argentine affairs
is to obtain the control of those rivers
aud treat them as Argentine internal
waters.
Villa Occidental, or New Bordeaux,
whose possession is and lias been
since tlie defeat of Lopez tlie motive
of all these negotiations and armings
from 1870 up to now, was founded by
the Paraguayan government with a
colony of French immigrants. When
Lopez interred all the Paraguayans,
depeopllng the margins of the Para
guay where the Brazilian fleet ob
tained control of the river, Villa Oc
cidental was also vacated. In 1870
the Argentines took possession of it,
protesting at the same time that they
did so with subjection to future de
cision as to title. But witli posses
sion lias grown up tho resolve to hold
it by hook or crook, aud this resolu
tion has been the stumbling block of
every negotiation since that occupa
tion.
It is not that the little town is of
direct value to tho Confederation. It.
is, with the territory assigned to it,
a nook of twenty miles square, thrust
beyond the Argentine boundary into
that conceded to Paraguay. Its val
ue to the Argentines consists in its
being only thirty miles from Asun
cion, tlie Paraguayan capital, and
t he only place in that swampy region
where a settelment could be formed
within thirty milt's of Asuncion.
Thence smuggling can bo easily car
ried on to rain the Paraguayan Gov
ernments. These are agencies which
the Argentine statesmen calculate on
to force Paraguay to do of its own ac
cord what Argentine arms failed to
achieve shortly after tho declaration
of inctependenc of the Htianlsh colo
nies—to annex itself to tlie Confeder
ation- and thence the stubbornness
and virulence with which the owner
ship of this small district and pretty
village is disputed between the Ar
gentine Confederation on the one
side, and Paraguay, backed up by
Brazil, on the other. Both parties
eonsider its possession an absolute
requisite, the one to destroy, the oth
er to preserve tho independence of
Paraguay.
free and slave labor.
The report of the Special Commit
tee on the State of Agriculture (Dep
uties.! has at last been given. As is
usual in Brazil, and somo other coun
tries, not a farmer was on tho com
mittee ; all the seven were lawyers.
Asa si>ecimen of the report may be
given tho statement, when compar
ing the cost of slave and free labor,
that while free labor costs from $175
to S2OO a year, that of slaves (worth
in Brazil $1,000) is only sl2 to $25 a
vear! The wants of agriculture in
Brazil are, they report, labor, money,
rouds and agricultural teaching. As
to labor they deal in negation mere
ly. Slavery, they say, is a terrible
evil and must he got rid of; free la
bor, whether native or immigrant, is
impracticable, as neither will go on
the plantation, and if itdid the plant
er could not afford to pay for it. Chi
nese immigration would introduce a
demoralized race into a country re
quiring fresh blood to revive it. On
roads they suggest nothing. Agri
cultural instruction is a desideratum,
but they see not howto realize it, and
ttiey content themselves with propos
ing a bill to lend, without Interest,
$25,000,000 to agricultural banks of
loan.
The condition of agriculture in Bra
zil Is very grave. While the coffee
provinces are thriving, at ariv rate
for tho present, with their still new
lands, the cotton and sugar provinces,
from and including Bahia up to arid
including Maranham, are rapidly
progressing to a general bankruptcy.
Their slaves are exported by hun
dreds to tlie coffoo provinces, planta
tions aro being abandoned and the
bulk of tlie others are existing upon
the departing vitality of the slaves,
and on the plant of former and more
prosperous times. The provincial
treasuries are practically bankrupt,
taxes have been laid on everything to
the uttermost, and until production
outside the coast strip has been ren
dered unprofitable. For money in
small sums the planters have to pay
from eighteen to seventy-two per
cent, per annum, and every day ap
pears to render tlie situation more
grievous.
TUB FIRST STEAMBOAT.
A GEORGIA INVENTION.
The following letter explains itself,
aud shows that tho first steamboat
ever constructed was the invention
of a Georgian, and that it actually
navigated the Savannah river long
before Fulton built his steamboat
which was seen successfully in 1804.
This is a historical reminiscence of
which all Georgians should be proud.
The letter is taken from thearchieves
of tlie State.
Augusta, Sep. 26th, 1790.
Sir: 1 make no doubt but you
have often heard of ray steamboat,
and as often heard it laughed at.
Butin this I have only shared tlie
fate of all other projectors, for it lias
uniformly betus>the custom of every
country to ridicule even the greatest
inventions until use had proved their
utility.
In hot reducing my scheme to prac
tice has been a little unfortunate for
me, I confess, and perhaps the people
in general; but until very lately I did
not think that either artists or mate
rial could be had in the place suffi
cient. However, necessity, that grand
science of invention, lias furnished
me with an idea of perfecting my
plan almost entirely with wooden
materials, and by such workmen as
may be got. here; and from a thor
ough confidence of its success, I have
presumed to ask your assistance and
patronage.
Should it succeed agreeable to my
expectation, I hope 1 shall discover
that source of duty which such fa
mers always always merit; arid should
it not succeed, your reward must lay
with other unlucky adventures.
For me to mention to you ail the
advantages arising from such a ma
chine would bo tedious and Indeed
quite unnecessary, therefore 1 have
taken the liberty just to state in this
plain and humble manner my wish
and opinion which l hope you will
excuse, and I shall remain either
with or without approbation.
Your Excellency's most obedient
and very humble servant,
Wm. Longstreet.
To Gov. Telfair.
He afterwards did build the steam
ship, and Rev. C. W. Howard says his
grandmother told him she saw it
make the trial trip.

milclile* In the United -Mules.
The St. Louis KepubUeati. which
has been investigating the subject of
suicide in the united States, comes
to tlie conclusion that even France
which lias had for many years a
gloomy pre-eminence in the business
of self-destruction, can not now pro
tend to compete with our own coun
try in the number or variety of its
self-murders. From an examination
of the public journals for the two
months of July aud August, it ap
pears that, there have been no less
than 110 suicides in the United States
since July the Ist. And yet this
number falls far short of the actual
figures, as some cases of self-destruc
tion never reach the newspapers, and
others have, doubtless, been pub
lished in journals which were not
among those examined in making up
the record. AH of the eases noticed
were authenticated bv the verdict of
tho coroner’s juries in the place of
death. Of the victims 85 were males
and 25 females. Of tlie former
class l were under eighteen years
of age, and one was a boy of
but thirteen. New York furnished 27
cases; Illinois, 13; Ohio, 12; Missou
ri, 10; lowa, 6; Louisiana, 5; Now
Jersey, 5; Massachusetts, 5; Califor
nia, 4; Indiana, 1; Pennsylvania, 3;
Michigan, 2; Connecticut and Wis
consin each 2; and Nevada, Rhode
Island, District of Columbia, Kansas,
Alabama, Maryland and Nebraska 1
each. Of tlie modes of self-destruc
tion. shooting was most resorted to,
having forty victims. Twenty-six
took their lives by poison, fifteen
hanged themselves, nine out their
I own throats, two jumped out of win
! dows, and one starved himself to
j death. The reasons which led to sui
cide were as varied as the modes of
death. Thirty-one died and left no
sign, twenty-eight were avowedly
“tired of life,” sixteen were insane,
twelve alleged “domestic troubles,”
eight whiskey, seven disappointed af
fection, one to escape punishment for
murder, one because of a son’s dis
grace, one because of had treatment
from his children, one from religious
excitement, and one to avoid punish
ment for theft.
