THE DAILY TIMES. Columbim. Oa.. SATURDAY NOVEMBER 27. 1878. LAEOEBT DAILY OIBOULATION I. <■! 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. The Richmond Dispatch, Dem., Bays: Of ull the Eastern Democratic aspirants, Bayard, of Delaware, is the most honorable Tor his high tone and spotless character. He is a gen tleman of the very first order. It would boa blessing to the nation to have in the Presidential chair so pure a man, so elevated a statesman.

Mr. James Lick has expressed a wish to be buried (after ho is dead! on the top of Mount Hamilton, where his big telescope is to be placet!. The new Constitution of Nebraska provides for the eleotlon of United States Senator by the people.

Disastrous prairie fires are sweep ing over portions of Kansas. They cun be seen in almost every direction every night, and the damage bids fair to be enormous, proving more disastrous to many than the drouth. The New York Tribune, alias Jay Gould, says that this currency ques tion “is an actual fight, thatthe com batants mean business, and that, in the language of the frontier, it is a fight for a funeral."

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. F. F. The French Government arc con sidering a project for constructing a canal by which the vineyards of the Rhone may be flooded as a remedy for the phyllexers. The canal will cost $20,000,000, but it will bring into fruitfulness 60,000 acres of vine land, which will yield $10,000,000 annually. • I | Captain John Norris, of Peters burg, Ky., is said to be the only man now living who took part in the battle of Luke Erie. He is 84 years old, is in vigorous health, and has a gold medal which the Legislature of KentuckyJtave him in 1860. The Mississippi Valley Society of London have uddressed the Govern or of Texas with an offer of pecunia ry assistance if needed to the sufferers by the recent storm. A Hlr Mrnrc A Omit Nothing. 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 Louisville nmn wants somebody to invent some kind of a button-hole that will stand the strain of a candi date’s finger. He wants a metallic electrical button-hole, something that will make a candidate feel as though he had been struck by nine kinds of lightning. Either the Viceroy of Egypt lias not ranch vanity, or else it is of a very good kind. The sum of $65,000 having been raised to erect a monu ment of himself, he used the money to found a public school at Alex andria. The last number of tho Borne Cou rier contains tho valedictory of that veteran jouralist, C. H. C. Willing ham. He leaves to take charge of a paper in Cartersville. Col. B. C. Sawyer succeeds him as editor of the Courier. -• ♦ • 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.
