Mb. John H. James.— We had the
pleasure yesterday of mooting
Mr. John H. James of Atlanta.
He t* traveling through the State
In the Interest of the Atlanta Fire
Insurance Company, of which he Is
President. Mr. James is now one of
the strongest candidates for the
Gubernatorial chair, and from our ex
changes we learn each day his
chances arc growing brighter.
He Is one of the best financiers In the
State of Georgia, besides being fully
posted on the wants of the people.
Gavertior araltli and the Gubernatorial
Chair.
Our cotemporary seems to think
Gov. Bralth the coming man for the
next Governor, If he wants it. We
think there Is no doubt about his
wanting that office, if he can’t be a
United States Senator. Our neighbor
is not posted when he writes that
Gov. Smith would not “seek a con
tinuance of the office, but would leave
the wfcole matter to the unsolicited
decision of the people.”
We may not properly understand in
what sense our neighbor uses the
word “seek,” but If it means that
Gov. Smith does not allow his perso
nal and very confidential friends to
canvass and interview people in his
interest, our friend is sadly mistaken.
Bomo of the most active gentlemen
about the Capital are pressing his
claims, and at times almost within
the hearing of the Governor, without
any apparent dissent or opposition
from him.
Gov. Smith may have made a good
Governor—and he has, we*beliove,
given very general satisfaction ; but
he has his blunders and mistakes, his
prejudices and whims, that aro inch,
dent to the human family. As for
ourselves, we aro opposed to the third
term, no matter who proposes to hold
on that long, whether It be President
Grant or Governor Smith. There aro
too mauy good, useful and honorable
men whom Georgia would delight to
honor; and if ono man monopolizes
tho office, those already gray in the
servloe of their State will have gone
to their final rest before the office is
vacant. In this republican govern
ment, our very foundation and whole
theory upon which we are organized,
Is a belief in rotation in office.

St. Louis, Nov. 23d, 1875.
Dear Times: The several Stato
delegations met at ten o’clock this
morning, and formed their respective
organizations. At eleven o’clock the
General Convention assembled at the
Temple, which was profusely decora
ted with flags, appropriate emblems,
and in front of the stage, agricultural
and tropical plants in great variety.
In rear, and susjiendcd over tho
stage, was a large map of the Texas
& Pacific Railroad and the country
which It Intersects. Each State del
egation was assigned Its respective
place without confusion, tho hall and
galleries being crowded with dele
gates. Some estimates place the
number at upwards 0f2,000. Indiana
has a very lino delegation. The
Southern States are well represented.
Tho Mayor of St. Louis welcomed
the delegates. Oen. Anderson, of
Virginia, was elected temporary
Chairman. At the preliminary meet
ing of the Oeorgia delegates, the
subject of subsidy or no subsidy, was
discussed; Gen. Johnston and oth
ers taking a decided stand aguinst
granting a money subsidy merely to
enrich tho Texas & Pacific Railroad
Company. This company demand
from tho General Government aid in
the form of guarantee by the United
States five per cent, annual coin in
terest of forty year bonds, to be is
sued by said company to tho extent
of $35,000 per mile of construction,
and offer to indemnify the Govern
ment for its indorsement by a first
lien on all their property, by the sur
render of 30,000,000 acres of land al
ready granted, und the transportation
of the mails, troops and supplies; al
so by depositing in tho United States
Treasury $5,000 in bonds for each
mile of road, to be sold by tho Gov
ernment if necessary to meotany de
ficiency during tho period of con
structing the road. At first blush
this seems plausible, and has been
received with favor by the people of
tho South, because tho General Gov
ernment lias heretofore afforded the
national credit to other enterprises in
tho East, West and North, and hence,
similar largo and valuable subsidies
of tho public domain and tho public
money should bo given to tho South.
This Is the dangerous doctrine that,
“the end justifies the means,” and if
favored in tho South may wreck our
hopes to reformthe Government and
bring back tho Constitution to its
ancient landmarks. Hut let us view
it aside from its political aspects. If
the General Government has the
right to grant a money subsidy it has
tho right to build the railroad, and
thus save all the land granted (30,000,-
000 acres) as well as many thousands
of dollars per mile. This is proved
by the fact that the California South
ern Pacific Railroad, which is now
building its road from San Francisco
to San Diego and Fort Yuma, agrees
to build the road diroctly on the 32d
parallel of lattitude, meeting Col.
Scott’s road, and demands only the
lend subsidy. Why then should
these $150,000,000 be granted to Col.
Scott’s company when another com
pany will build it without one dollar
in subsidy, but only required the
landed subsidy? Will it aid the
South? Yes, as the Central &
Union Pacific has aided tho
United States. Now mark tho re
sults reaped by National aid in
money and territory to those great
corporations th rough the means of
tho Credit Mobiter. Now contrast,
the mode of simply granting laud
subsidies which is right, inasmuch
as it enables tho Govern
ment to dispose of lands otherwise
unsaleable—and the mode adopted
in favor of tho Union Pacific by
loaning that same oredit in tho form
of interest-bearing bonds as was done
in the $G4,000,000 bonds, at six per
cent., furnished the Union Pacific:
Principal of bonds $64,000,000
pic interest six per cent, for 20
years 76.H00.000
Principal and simple interest $140,800,000
Every cent of which is drawn from
the industrial interest of this eoun
ry by taxation, and this does not
show tho whole burden. To get the
whole weight of it you must com
pound the interest at tho oloso of
each six months, because that much
substance is drawn from the people
that otherwise would have remained
theirs for increase.
The character of this attempted
swindle becomes apparent at, once.
Again, if the Road is built, all indi
cations point to Philadelphia and
New York, as the eastern termini
via St. Louis.
These Texas and Pacific and Atlan
tic & Pacific roads are designed to
benefit the North and enrich North
ern capitalists, not to traverse the
Southern Statos from the Pacific to
the Atlantic.
The most striking feature in to
day's proceedings was the meeting
on the stage of Generals Sherman
and Johnston, and as they clasped
hands the house shook with genuine
applause. Gen. Beauregard also was
met in a similar manner, and the ut
most good feeling prevailed. Our
admiration for Gen. Joseph E. John
ston increases on personal acquain
tance. He is a grand man.

cost $20,000,000, but it will bring into
fruitfulness 60,000 acres of vine land,
which will yield $10,000,000 annually.

The Republicans and some of tho
Democrats of tho North are very
much perturbed over a rumor which
has gained credence in Washington
to the effect that ex-Conrederate
members of Congress have combined
for the puri>ose of obtaining more
than their rightful share of tho party
patronage which lies in the gift of
tho House of Representatives. The
correspondent of tho Cincinnati
Times refers to this rumor ns fol
lows :
“Some of tho Northern Democratic
Congressmen say that the Southern
Democrats are so bold in their de
mu nds for the best positions in the
next House, that trouble in their
own household is sure to ensue when
Congress meets. The Southern Dem,
ocrutic Congressmen assert that they
are in a majority, and will control
tho Democratic caucus und nominate
their own candidates. There is a
nice srospect ahead.”
We are not surprised that a Repub
lican paper like the Times should
publish and accredit such a rumor as
this, but wodo expect something bet
ter from Democratic journals. But
it seems they manifest the same
alarm that is shown by tho Republi
cans. The truth in, most Northern
Democrats ns well as Republicans
aro dreadfully afraid of the South’s
regaining any power or influence in
national affairs. Wo aro not going
either to demand or beg positions.
What we ask is peace and quiet; an
opportunity to retrieve our shattered
fortunes, which we can never do while
laboring under Radical oppression.

A Htorj of Hlvorrc,
It may not be generally known, yet
it is probably true, that the novel of
East Lynne, although written in
England, had tho ground work of its
story in a singular marriage which
took place in Cincinnati, the notice
and the attending circumstances at
the time being copied by almost
every paper in the country. Tho
matter was about as follows:
A Mr. J. M., a clerk in a down
town house fell in love with a young
lady, whose father was u well-to-do
Second street merchant, and after a
proper season of attention the couple
were married.
Both soon found out that they were
not happily mated, and after a mar
riage of several years, during which
time they had several children, two
boys and a girl, they mutually agreed
to tho husband applying fot a bill of
divorce on the ground of inoom t.ati
biiity of temper. The divorce wits
granted and the wife went home to
her father, who had, through endors
ing, lost Ids business and all his
property. The daughter’s and his
own misfortunes weighed so heavily
upon the father’s mind that during it
moment of mental liberation he took
his own life, leaving his daughter
penniless, to rough it with the cold
charity of tho world as best she
could. *
Tho woman, a bravo little creature,
tried every way she knew how to
gain an honest livelihood; iri fact,
working so hard giving music lessons
und doing embroidery for her old
schoolmates that her health gave
way and huving no money to pay her
board, must beg, starve or go to the
poor-house. To turn to the other
side of the picture : The husband,after
a few short months’ release from the
marital bonds, again married, and
at the time had not only the three
children by the first wife, but also an
addition thereto, a little three-year
old girl by his second wife.
The latter being ill, the husband
advertised for a nurso and house
keeper. which notice reached the
eyes of the first wife, and she in het
trouble, went to the former partner
of her heart, told him of her sad con
dition, and applied for the position
in his household. The husband
knew not what to say, but after giv
ing her ample funds for all her im
mediate wants, asked her to call at
his offieo on the following morning,
promising to consult his wife about
the matter in the meantime.
Promptly as per agreement wife
No. 1 was on time as was the hus
band, and from there they went to
the residence, where the two wives
had their first conversation, ending
in their agreement for the first wife
to come to and accept tho vacant
place, which she did, seemingly de
lighted at having a peaceful home
overhead, notwithstanding the very
strange circumstances under which
such a shelter was giveu. Necessity
demanded thatthe entire past should
be obliterated, and the new house
keeper treated as any other help;
t hat she must care for the children—
her own offsprings-and the other
child, the same ns any other hired
nurso would do; that she must eat at
tho second table to care for her
charges.
All these tilings and even moie hu
mility did the poor woman show,
never a sigh, word or look exhibit
ing the least evidence of discontent.
What, however, must have been the
true feelings of her heart when seeing
another tilling the place that she had
once tried, as she thought, so hard to
till.
The above is from the flies of an
old Cincinnati papier; but the sequel,
as told by one conversant with the
whole facts, is stranger than what
has already been narrated When
the cholera was raging in that city in
1866, the second wife was taken very
ill with it, and being informed by the
physician that site could live but a
few hours at the most, as she was
then in a collapsed condition, she
asked that all go out of the room, ex
cepting her husband and the house
keeper, when she told how much she
dreaded leaving her child among
strangers, and as a dying wife en
treated them both to marry again.
The proposition was a strange one,
but both promised, and a few
months afterwards, when the second
! wife had been dead a sufficient
length of time not to cause remarks,
I the two were again married, brought
together after a cruel separation of
so many years, and we believe are
now living happily together in a cosy
West End house.—Exchange.
