THE DAILY TIMES. Columbuit. Go.. WEDNESDAY SEPTEMBER 29.1W5. *• WWtMMMU. If C. M. WII.I.HH*. I LARGEST DAILY OIEODLATIOH In dly nnd Wuhnrhw. We earnestly request our patrons to iy us what they owe us on the first day of October. We havo given them the cheapest paper in the State, and our object in dolug this.wus to do a strictly cash business. We have been much encouraged by liberal pa tronage, particularly since wa pub lished our determination to reduce the price of the Daily to sfl per an num, nnd we hope to speedily accuse a much larger circulation. Noarnicait civilization—bread riots. Thkur are no “tramps” in the South. “Honest money” means bread riots. Specie resumption causes bread riots. PniNCE GonTHCHAKOEF Is now 77 years of ago. No Southern cotton factory Is idle, so far as we know. Thebe ore no "strikes” in any man ufactory in the South. Mu. Gladstone has anew pamphlet on a great social reform. National Hanks were not intended to aid the producing classes. A man died In Baltimore the other day from erysipelas, caused by using hair dye. Real estate in Brooklyn is only worth two-thirds as much as it was three years ago. A California exchange reports a farm in that State which yielded fifty bushels wheat i>er acre. Mu. Thomas Carlyle, though 79 years of age, is said to shut himself up every evening to study. Gold is now In demand in San Francisco, and is not likely to go East for some time to come. ■•♦ • The bronze stutuo of Stonewall Jackson has reached Richmond and will bo placed in Capitol Square. - ' ——-• Women, when they porform their work equally as well ns men, ought to bo paid os much for their work. It is announced tliut Secretary Bristow has stopped the issue of ten cent fractional currency: Now for the silver dimes. The first, threat of "taking wliut they want”—tho first grab assem blage demanding bread occurred in tho "Hub of the Untverso,” saintly Boston, in Puritan Massachusetts. The National Banks ore most ex cellent institutions, but 10,1X10 acres of land will not be received as collat eral security, if one wants to borrow SSOO. Hon. D. W. Vooiiuees, of Indiana, will take the stump for soft money in Ohio, on October 4th, and will roar continuously from that time to the end of the campaign. There is a rnelnncholy shrewdness in tho remark of tho New Orleans Republican that Mr. Charles Francis Adams Is “likely to bo nominated more and elected less than any other man,” There Is an artesian well in Mercer county, California, that flows 216,000 gallons of water a day. It also irri gates ten acres of land which for merly oould have boon bought for SIOO per acre, but which now would cost SSOO pernoro. It is announced by tho Washington Star that Secretary Bristow will take decided ground, in his annual report to Congress, in favor of carrying exit to the letter the specie resumption act ef the lost Congress. Nowfortho jingle of tho dimes! Carf.fiti, estimates show that Eu rope will, during tho comiug season, call on the United States for from 35,- 000,000 to 60,000,000 bushels of wheat, to supply the present crop deficiency. The South will have the pleasure of exporting some of that wheat. Prof. Marsh, during his researches at tho West, discovered a fossil bird with well-formed teeth, and after making a critical examination of the curiosity, he concludes that It Is in termediate between the bird and the reptile, and supplies ono of tho miss ing links in tho Darwinian theory. Anew dangers threatens the cotton in Louisiana. A small black spot ap pears on the boll not larger than a duck shot, which soon causes the boll to decay. The Non of the Soil says the oldest planters havo not been able to account for this attack, wheth er it is an insect or disease. The “Greenback” mooting in New York was a very largo assemblage of workingmen. The venorublo rotor Cooper sanctioned the objects of the meeting by his presence. The Bond holders and Monopolists an- meeting with determined opposition every where. Immigration to the United States from Europe is now about one-third what It was previous to the com mencement of the financial depres sion. Of late years the price of labor has advanced in Europe, while it has declined in the United States, hence the tide of Immigration has dimin ished In volume. It is stated that tho average arrivals for the last ten years have been at the rate of 300,000 annu ally, and that at the present time it will not exoeed 100,000 per annum. ANIIKBMONVIM.I'.. The Bt. Louis Olobe-Demotrat of September 16, Is before us. Iu it we find several communications to that paper thanking it for placing tho blame of the ill-treatment of Feder al prisoners at Andersonvilio und Bell-Isle “where it belongs- on Jeff. Davis.” Ono writer, and an able one, plausibly endeavors to falsify history by this passage: “And yet, Davis has his parallels; for James 11. had his Jeffreys, Philip 11. his Alva, Louis XIV. his Louvois, the Emperor of Austria his Hayriau, and Jefferson Davis had his Winder." It is safe, imrhaps, to traduce the dead ffor General Winder is not liv ing to refute his slanderers.! But Mr. Davis is living, aud countless thou sands in tho Houth burn with indig nation when they read these wanton and unjust attacks upon his fair mime. We call upon him, and those who wero officially connected with tho intorchangeof prisoners, to final ly overthrow this chargo, born in malice and nursed in hate. Gen. Sherman has said that “war is cruelty, and you cannot refine it.” Tho oharge of unnecessary and per clsdent cruelty can be truly made by tlie prisoners of both armies. The members of the Third Georgia Regi ment can vouch for the inhuman cruelty practiced upon some of their comrades while in the hands of their enemy near Vickburg as prisoners of war. Any Confederate soldier whose bard lot it was to be confined in Northern prisons, can attest to the oruol treatment they received. The blame for all the sufferings of the Federal prisoners confined at An dersovillo nnd Belle-Isle, belongs to Grant and the United States Gov ernment, wliioh refused to exchungo prisoners. “It is cheaper to feed Rebels than to fight them,” said Grant, und his brutal nature did not hesitate to cause death to thou sands who might havo been exchang ed for Confederate prisoners. The offer was made by tho Confederate authorities to allow the enemy to contribute food and medical sup plies und physicians, and it was de clined. To the United States au thorities tho blame belongs for all tho sufferings of Federal prisoners. Our own heroic troops were forced to subsist on very scanty rations of inferior quality, and the Southern army was olothed in very poor gar ments, often suffering for the want of shoes. Tho people, thousands of thorn, wore on the verge of starva tion. There is an unwritten history which will yet bo written and Truth will impress Itself upon the narrative of that war, so us to givo merit of no mean quality to tho vanquished, ami praise of no prejudiced nature to tho victors. Overcome by numbers, the spectacle of a bravo people whoso lit tle army seemed a handful in com parison with the extent of territory wliioh they had dofended, and tho Immense hosts which they had so of ten hurled back iu confusion ami which .outnumbered them by six to one, must have commanded the re spect of all true Federal soldiers. Hud their uncomplaining history biyn read, it would have told of a diet but little inferior to that given to Federal prisoners, and privations which the Northern armies were nev er subjected to. Jefferson Davis is not responsible, however, for tho hospital and prison treatinout of Federal prisoners. His mind was filled with thoughts for the defence of his oppressed country, aud his groat heart never intentional ly harmed a captive, or murmured when as a captive hr awaited Iris fate in Fortress Monroe. We havo undoubted proof no less authority than Secretary Stanton’s Report—that the per centage of deaths in Northern prisons was great er titan in tho prisons of the South. A correspondent of the Lynchburg News writes as follows: From Federal documents now ex tant it appears 22,576 Federal prison ers died in Southern prisons, whilst 26,436 Confederate prisoners died in Northern prisons. From the same source we find that, during the war there wore 270,000 Federal prisoners in Southern prisons, against 220,000 Confederate prisoners iu Northern prisons. Here wo see that the Con federates lost 4,000 more than the Federals, yet the latter Lad 50,000 more in prison and other modes of confinement. The percentage of Fed eral deaths in Southern prisons was under nine, whilst that of the Con federates in Northern prisons was over twelve. Wo will have additional data upon this interesting subject to-morrow. ■ - Galveston has inaugurated a grain trade between that city and Kansas City. Tho immense grain territory tributary to tho city makes it proba ble that this trade will in future equal that of cotton. Tho year’s wheat crop throughput the State is esti mated at 8,000,000 bushels, of which there will be shipped out of the State 6,000.000 bushels. Among the great local enterprises is the Gulf, Colorado and Santa Fee Railroad, built solely by Galveston people. In view of these facts we look to the rapid re covery of the city from the recent gales that so devastated it. The New York Ntin has a way of putting more facts in less space than any journal we ever read. Here is an evidence of it; “About one-third of the wheatgrown in the United States is produced in the three States of Minnesota, lowa, and Wisconsin, and this one-third is iu round num bers a hundred million bushels.” How They are Written.— This is the way our friends are writing us, as postal cards in our possession will prove: "Send me your very valuable Daily paper for oue year from Ist Oc tober next, and call on Messrs. & Cos. for the $6 if you need it before I see you. Y'ours truly, “J. M. M." The treasurer of the public schools of Portsmouth, Ya , gives a s7,one bond and receives $7 a month. THE TIMES: WEDNESDAY MORNING, SEPTEMBER 20, 1575. “We see that our friends, of thut admirable paper, the Culumbus Dai ly Times have concluded to rcduco the price of their Daily, on und after October Ist, to $6 per annum, or $6 one.. Including postage. Tills large und important reduction places the paper within the reach of all, and we hope all of our citizens and business men will givo u liberal encourage ment to this able und valuable paper. It is by far the best paper in Colum bus, contains all the Columbus mar kets, aud tlio latest news, l>er tele graph, from ail (mints, and is a first class Democratic paper in every re spect. Its scraps, alius locals, are un surpassed, and we hope our readers will take it at tho reduced price.” We wish everybody thought as much of our enterprise as does the editor of the Opelika Times. We thank our kind friend tor his flatter ing notice, and will endeavor to make the Times continue to merit the higli compliment he pays ns. By energy and enterprise we trust to place it in the hands of every man in this sec tion. The annual review of the trade of New Orleans shows that the year ending 31st August last wus regarded as an exceptionally unfavorable ono, from the amount of individual loss, the shrinkage in values of bank stocks nnd other securities, the diver sion of trade and tho curtailment of tho general movement. Asa set off, it is contended by the New Orleans Trier-Current thut the failures wero inconsiderable compared with the entire volume of trade and the capi tal invested, while the causes of the other unfavorable phenomena were general and acting simultaneously in the same manner throughout the country rather titan local. The Tunes speaks very hopefully of the future of the city. short Horn Cattle. The Memphis Aralanehc asks this question: At the sales of short horn cattle now going on at various (joints throughout the west, funcy cows bring S2,(XX), $3,000, $3,600 and $4,000, according to pedigree anti uppear ance, and the poorest bring from $125 to $l5O each. Why is it Tennessee, Arkansas and Mississippi cannot raiso aud sell such cattle? We have tried the experiment of raising short horn cattle thoroughly In North Georgia. It has proved a costly experiment. There Is some thing In tho climate of the Gulf .States adverse to successful results with Durham cattle that are brought from Kentucky; thoydiein Septem ber, although kept on clover pastures. If the breed is domesticated suffi ciently to raise from, the “Georgia raised” few that survive, it is prob able that good results will attend the efforts. But our (leople are too [>oor to incur the first cost caused by the certain mortality of the greater num ber of the imported lot. This futali ty does not attend tho Jerseys, which is the best improved breed for the ex treme Southern States. The Durham makes the largest and finest looking animal, but the Jersey is the best milker. in ui.ir opinion. A letter by Baron DeKalb, writ ten just before his defeat by Corn wallis, records tins fact that he had just paid at a hostelry for supper, and a night’s lodging for himself und th/ee friends, ttie sum of SBSO. The landlady told him she had made no charge for the room, but tiiougt #4oo would be un appropriate figure for it. This was in tho good old Con tinental days, when the people revel ed in paper money, and ‘‘grasping bullionists” were unknown.— Boston Journal, (Den.) Nine of the eleven Democratic State Conventions held this year, have declared In favor of making the currency equal to gold. The excep tions are Ohio and Peunsylvauia, whoso Conventions ask for inflation and depreciation. —Memphis Ara lanohe. Ex-Congressman Beck of Kentucky is another mail who is trying tostuud on botli sides of the financial ques tion at the same time. Ho thinks the Ohio Democrats go too far in the inflation direction, and tho New York Democrats too far in that of specie payments. He is afraid the Eastern section will cause a split in the party by adhering too closely to its side of the question. It is safe to say that if Mr. Beck's views were to prevail, the country would boo good deal more likely" to split than tlie partv. lie proposes to take the stump in|ohiosoou. N. Y. Tri bune. This autumn is full of political (air tent. Let every honest man, discard ing party prejudices und tlie habit of the past", where these interfere, at tach himself by his vote to the party of the people, which now bears tlie mime of Democrat, and so assist in pushing forward the work of reform. — N. Y. Sun. California Banks Redivivus,— The San Francisco Morning Call has this statement: In a few days Messrs. Flood & O’Brien’s new bank, with a capital of $5,000,000, will be in operation. It is also announced that Lizard Freres, the rich French importers, are about organizing anew bunk, with a large capital. Those indications go to show that banking capital in this city is likely to increase for the future. San Francisco has become the great cen tre for the gold und silver trade of tlie world. She is also becoming the centre of commerce for nil countries bordering upon the Pacific Ocean. Tlie prospects of San Francisco seem ed never more promising than at tlie present time. An exchange contains these three items: The tobacco crop in Kentucky is rapidly maturing, aud the yield will be unusually large. Leading houses in Columbus, Gu., have ordered for trade purposes a ! dozen barrels of copper cents. In a Scotch court, recently, a wit ness swore to the identity of a chicken from its resemblance to its mother. The peninsula composed of the Eastern Shore of Maryland and the lower part of Delaware is being vis ited by a horse plague, which is be coming almost as alarming as the fa tal epizootic which swept over the country some years ago. Stock val ued at $25,000 have been lost. The Suez Canal earned over $5,000,- i 000 last year, and cost over $3,000,000. UOIVBL C. LEVY, Jit., Attorney unit Counsellor at Law. Comm!Mk>m-r of Deed* N.
