Bowkn says in the Independent
that the charges made by Tilton
against Beecher did not coraparo in
definiteness and flagraney with those
now made against him by Mrs. Moul
ton. .
A New .lebsey paper says: “We
think General Butler an honest man
and a statesman.” But Butler has
already said, "Never believe any
thing you see about me in the pa
pers."
The Chicago Post and Mail brings
out E. B. Washburne, United Htates
Minister at Baris, as a candidate for
the Presidency; and the Cincinnati
Gazette does the same thing for Gov
ernor Morton In a litfn nrtiele of ten
columns in length.
A xbwspal'KE is a window through
which men look out on all that is go
ing on out in the world without a
newspaper a man is shut In a small
room and knows little or nothing
of what is happening outside of
himself. In our day the newspa
pers keep pace with history and re
cord It. A newspaper will keep a sen
sible man in sympathy with the
world’s current history. It Is an en
folding encyclopedia; an unbound
book forever issuing and never fin
ished.
A Washington correspondent of
the New York Hun says Mortou Is the
l>ower behind the throne at. the White
House und the chief manager of the
policy for the Presidential campaign.
If so the campaign wilb be made on
the bloody shirt programme.
The sumo correspondent, says Zack
Chandler is the inaster-spirit of the
Cabinet. “He is u shrewd, managing,
bold and unscrupulous politician,
who will make every point toll in a
canvass, and will Btop at no moans,
however desperate, to insure success.
He is indifferent to public opinion,
and will assess every office-holder in
a way to startle ail former experi
ence. He is for Grant first, last and
all the time, and therefore exercises
un influence with him which Bobe
son, Belknap and other dependants
cannot upproach, because ho is rich
and reckless.”
Morton, Chandler and Grant! Wlmt
n trio to rule the destinies of “the
best government,” etc.
The New York Tribune says: Tho
suspension of three banks—two of
t bom savings institutions is not a
pleasant sequel toThanksgivlug Day.
Fortunately they were not largo con
cerns, and the losses of depositors
are supposed not to Vie heavy. The
delay, even though ultimately dollar
for dollar may be paid, must be, how
ever, a severe trial in very numerous
instances, and there will be cases
where depositors will sell thoir claims
at a sacrifice. The history of othor
receiverships gives little hope of
prompt settlement when a bank or
an Insurance company closes its
doors. It is exceedingly (losirable
that people of small means should be
encouraged to lay aside their savings;
the habit goes far toward placing
them among the most industrious
and valuable of citizens. Hence
every safeguard which legislation
can offer should bo thrown around
their deposits, and frequent and
thorough examination of savings
banks Is ulways in order. The
present circumstances, fortunately,
give no oause whatever for any
general alarm among depositors, and
at least one of tho banks that has
stopped is believed to bo entirely
solvent.

Wheat nurture U row 111 la the rail Is
What Is Wanted.
Winter wheat is most apt to bo in
jured by alternate freezing aud
thawing, rattier than by long-con
tinued cold.freeziug to a great depth.
When the ground is frozen deeply,
the wheat planted does rot, and can
not “heave out.” When we have a
deep frost, then a few days of milder
weather thaws the surface,and a very
slight, frost following, this will suap
t lie wheat roots and leave them on
t lie surfacej and this occurs alike on
drained and undrained soil. There
is no absolute remedy for this evil,
but it can bo palliated by encourag
ing a different habbit of growth of
w heat roots. Here comes in tho ad
vantage of a rich mellow and shallow
seed-bed for wheat, with a hard un
derpan, repelling rather than invit
ing fall growth of tho wheat roots
downward. There is no use trying
to get a long, deep root on the wheat
plant in the fall. Ten chances to
ono, If we do, the freezing and thaw
ing of winter will break the roots and
injure, if uot destroy tho plant. Bet
ter far, in fall, encourage a strong
growth of roots near tho surface,
forming it mat through tho soil,
which, when frozen, shall rise and
fall together. This is not mere
theory, out a fact I have often noticed
on laud once plowed, with a rich and
shallow seed-bed. The advantage of
surface manuring for wheat, as also
superphosphate and other commer
cial fertilizers drilled in with seed,
seems to lie largely in promoting a
large surface growth of wheat roots.
This, with the leaves of tho plant,
prevents deep freezing, and keeps
roots under a mulch, which makes
the soil light und promotes rapid
growth in early spring. A verysmall
quantity of rich fertilizer will thus
add immensely to tho yield—uot en
tirely by its direct effect, but in pre
venting winter-killing and heaving
out of the plant. In no other way
can I explain the extraordinary
results I have known from a small
application of superphosphate
often ten to fifteen bushels of wheat,
or 600 to 900 pounds, from 200 pounds
of superphosphate.— Correspondence
Country Gentleman.
It is definitely announced that Of
fenbach, the composer, has decided
to come to this country the coming
year and give a scries of sixty con
certs for which he is to receive $60,-
000. In our judgment the man who
pavs that sum will want that con
tract off his back long before he’s
through with it.

AND WHAT IT IS IHHNO.
S
Editors Daily Times: I write toyou
amid the rush and roar of locomo
tives and stomn engines, the jingle of
street ear bells, tho chattering of ve
hicles over stony streets and tho
ceaseless trend and hum of tho crowds
who hurry along the busy streets of
tho Gate City. I write to you from
Atlanta, tho busiest city in thofkiutb,
a living faud eloquent refutation of
tho assertion that there i3 now no life
in tho old slave Htates; a city in which
blocks upon blocks of costly build
ings ltave risen, even in tho (iftst six
months, while tho number of now
residences which crown its hill tops
extends away up into the hundreds.
When tho mammoth Kimball House
wos|bullt, everybody regarded it as tho
result of reckless inuestmont, and as
far too largo for the wants of tho
city. This was live years ago,
and yet u few days since
another magnifleont hotel, diroctly
in front of the Kimball House, was
completed by the contractors. The
Markham House is ono of tho neatest
hotels in tho Houth and is furnished
with the latest improvements of all
kinds.
Just after this completion, tho la
dies of this city gave in it a Centen
nial tea, party for the benefit of tho
Young Men’s Library Association,
the pet of all the ladias and tho pride
of the young men of Atlanta. The
tea party was a magnflcent affair in
every particular and was attendd by
immense crowds every night for al
most a week. The neat sum of $2,600
was netted, and for these “hard
times” that is a considerable pilo of
greenbacks.
judiciary.
It is now considered certain that
Judge Hopkins will resign very soon.
While it is necessary that he should
do so on account of his very bad
health, yet there are almost univer
sal regret among all classes of citizens,
that so good and pure a judge is going
to lonvo the beueh. Judge Hopkins
was born for a judge. Though emi
nent as a lawyer, the beautiful dear
ness and force of his reasoning
powers were never fully dis
played until ho was called to pre
side over tlie .Superior Court of this
Circuit. Ho hes won a reputation
throughout tho whole Htuto and has
boon frequently alluded to as "Geor
gia’s Model Judge.” There is much
speculation as to who will be deemed
worthy to sitcccsd such an able judi
cial officer. Col. Tom Glenn, tho
present efficient Holieitor General,
lias been spoken of in connection
with tlie dignity, but it seems to be
the general opinion of tho liar that
Col. Cincinnatus Peeples Is tho com
ing man. Ho would bo acceptable to
the entire circuit but it would seem
strange to attend a session of tho
Court aud not hear ono of his inimi
table speeches to a jury. He is the
happiest man in America when lie
gets a dozen rough “sons of nature”
before him. no pours upon them a
perfect volley of wit, humor und log
ic, and is sure either to bewilder or
convince. Ho has laughed many a
jury to a verdict,and as a narrator of
good jokes the whole country has
failed to produce his equal since a
certain President of tho United States
met his doom.
FINANCIAL.
I suppose you read the able finan
cial article from Hon. H. W. Hilliard
which first appeared in tho Evening
Commonwealth. It was copied by
tho Herald the next day and highly
commended, though that paper
seems to hold to Gen. Gordon's viows
on the subject. I see the article is
copied almost entire by the New
York Tribune, “the leuding American
journal.” It is worthy of publication
in any journal. Mr. Hilliard takes
the position that it is impossible to
koop the great financial questions of
tho day out of the coming Presiden
tial canvass. They are of such vast,
importance, he says, that they must
be considered; and he also affirms
that tho surest way to defeat the ad
ministration Is to hold it responsible
for tho deplorable state of our finan
ces. Ho suys:
“A great commercial nation will
demand a solution of the tremendous
problem that involves the prosperity
of the whole country. That is it
Question that comes homo to
’’mens' business and bosoms.”
Ho also contends that the precious
metals must be t he basis of all sound
financial systems. Tho opiuions ad
vanced in tho article are in direct
antagonism with those recently ex
pressed by Gen. Gordon, and tho
article of the “Soldier Statesman”
suffers by tho comparison.
Columbus is fortunate in securing
Mr. Hilliard and his family as resi
dents. Atlanta loses much when
they leave and here they have a host
of friends whose kindest wishes will
follow them to the banks of t he Chat
tahoochee. The society of any city
is fortunate in obtaining and unfor
tunate in losing such a family.
JOCRNAUSTtC.
Sawyer is no longer here, and easy
rests the head that plans the future
of our cotton factory. The Evening
Commonwealth has passed into other
hands, and its nondescript editor has
hied away to Home, and now fulmi
nates in tho columns of the Courier.
Sawyer is missed here. His paper
was invariably spicy, if it was impru
dent and rash. He tried to reform
many errors in tho city and its peo
ple, and ho deserves credit for his
good intentions. Ho thoroughly
scanned Kimball—our Colossus—and
from the number of darts he east we
judge that he discovered many a
weak point. Sawyer deserves success
for his talents and his fearless inde
pendence.
The Constitution and the Herald
are Sbth “waving.”
The Okefenokee Expedition of the
former journal is attracting consid
erable attention all over the country.
Tho letters from the exploring party
; are full of interest. That expedition
i was purely original with the Constl
: tutlon, and If It suoceods In increas
i ing the popularity of that paper, tho
reeompenso will be just.
OFF TO WASHINGTON.
Hob. B. 11. Hill left for Washing
i ton Saturday. Everybody here seems
•lobe expecting a grand effort from
! him during tho coming torm of Oon
| gross and it is safe to predict that
nobody will be disappointed.
It is cortain that Mr. Stephens
cannot, go to Washington before
March. He is still feeble, though
somewhat better than he was a few
weeks ago.
THE TREASURY.
Tlie Govornor has declared the of
fice of State Trea urer vacant because
Treasurer Jones failod to give tho re
quired bond. His successor lias uot
been named. Of course there are a
score of eager applicants for the
place. The friends of Mr. Jones say
that ho will demand a hearing before
tho Legislature and an investigation
of his official acts. No proceedings
have yet been begun against his
bondsmen. There arc few who doubt
that Mr. Jones will not bo fully vin
dicated by the Legislature and stand
nil right before the people.

PI UI.IC OPINION.
Mr. Banditti, of Pennsylvania, is,
In our judgment, the man of all men
in this XLIVth Congress for the
Speakership.—Richmond Whig. Dom.
The day the Democrats ratify tho
present promise, und elect M. C. Kerr
to the Speakership, they will put
forth a happy augury for the future
party.—St. Paul Pioneer Press, hid.
We couldn’t swear to it of our own
knowledge, and therefore don’t want
to be subpainaed; but wo strongly
suspect that there is a ring of whis
key thieves at Cincinnati, with “con
nections” all through the Miami Val
ley. Will Mr. Bristow bend his noble
brow, adorned with a puir of his
most penetrating oye glasses, in this
way?— Dayton Herald, Dem.
There are, undoubtedly, voluntary
counselors of the President who
would gladly Instigate him to send a
warlike message to Congress. But
they will hardly bo gratified. The
President will not instigate a war to
secure a third term. That wild style
,'ef political gambling is not charac
teristic of him, and he is quite shrewd
enough to see that it would not be a
winning game.—Harper’s Weekly,
Rep.
Mr. Ferry succeeded over Senator
Anthony by only a single vote.
Whatever reasons may have then
turned the scale, they have been
completely reversed by the great und
serious change in the situation which
has occurred since. The responsi
bility rests wholly with the Republi
can "members of tho United States
Senate, and the best way to meet it is
to choose, at the earliest moment,
Senator Anthony President pro tern.
—Boston Journal, Rep.
Tho case of Judge Van Brunt is,
wo presume,without exuot precedent,
ami supplies ono more example, and
a conspicuous and striking ono, of
the explosive force of the sexual pas
sion, and of the dangers with 'which
it constantly menaces society, even
under the most powerful restraints.
The amount of misery and demoral
ization, and the loss of confidence in
character, which even one such esca
pade diffuses, Is simply incalculable.
It does not appear in the courts or
newspapers, but wise men think of
it.—The Nation.

Squirm as the reformers like Blaine
and others may, tlie third term is a

[Wilmington, N. 0., Star.
General Grant will not be the strong
candidate it is supposed by some he
will be. The first and second time
he ran he imparted strength to his
[tarty : the third time Ids party will
1 find hiru a burden instead of a bless

The professions of tho Republican
| party against a third term were made
Ito be broken. They were simply for
; the purpose of tiding over the elec

—Milwaukee News, Dem.
We believe that not a decade will

Home Knit In Ireland.
The recent lecture of the Hon.
John O’Conner Powrrs in this elty
lias had tlie effect toawaken new int
terest in all that peftftins to Ireland,
her present condition und future pros
pects. Mr. Powers himself 'belongs
to what is known in Ireland as the
“Homo Rule” party, and is justly
considered ono of its representatives,
-lust how fur tills party represents
the wishes aud longings of the Irish
people at home we have no means of
knowing; but, judging by the well
known views of her sons in tills coun
try, we are inclined to believe that
the federation as the pronounced ul
timatum of tho “Home Rulers” is
being rather used as a means than
an end. That a country whose peo
ple have so bravely but unsuccessful
ly struggled for centuries to obtain
liberty -who haveshown so undying
and 8" unconquerable a love for free
dom—should be satisfied with less
than u total severance from England,
and the establishment of true nation
ality, seems to us absurd.
It is true that the policy of concili
ation, of fostering care, and wise, hu
mane and equal legislation, has never
been tried. On the contrary, England
has chosen rather to rely on brute
force. Oppressive legislation, mill
tary despotism, confiscation, perse
cution for opinion’s sake,und almost
total disfranchisement, have been the
means by which English rule has
been maintained in Ireland. But de
spite all these despite centuries of
occupation she has wholly failed to
subdue the spirit of the Irish people,
or to eradicate that yearning after
National independence which has
been the hope of ail her patriot sold
iers and statesmen. And, if we are
to take the statements of Mr. Powers,
they are to-day, after seven centuries
of persecution, as enthusiastic, as
determined, as energetic as ever, in
the work of securing their long
hoped for prize.
But, however this may be. whether
—after the present ostensible end of
the agitation has been accomplished,
the Act of Union repealed and an
Irish Parliament an established fact,
the people of Ireland will be content
with their condition of quasi inde
pendence, or whether they will go
on, agitating tlie question, until they
shall have secured their complete
autonomy —certain it is, that the
present movement has in it more of
combined energy and less of sectari
bigotry than any that has before
been made. For the present, the
feuds of factions seems to have been
forgotten, and Protestant and Catho
lic are alike working earnestly for
the same end. Mr. Butt, who is the
leader of the Home Rule imrty in
Parliament, is a Protestant, und rep
resents a county whose population is
almost exclusively Catholic; and the
same might be said of other gentle
men, scare, ly less distinguished. The
most notable instance, however, of
the determination of the party to ig
nore religious predilections in
their efforts for the success of
the movement, is the fact
that when, a few months
since, Peter Paul McHweenev, Lord
Mayor of Dublin, proposed to organ
ize anew party in Irish politics, to be
composed exclusively of Catholics, lie
met with tho determined opposition
of both Protestants and Catholics,
und the Catholic clergy and the Cath
olic press were the first and most bit
ter opponents of his ill-judged move
ment. Lampooned, denounced and
caricatured by the press, Mr. Me-
Sweeney was glad to withdraw his
fanatical proposition, Riid the result
has been to draw closer together the
Irish Nationalists, regardless of re
ligious beliefs or predilections.
Whatever may be the result of the
present agitation, and it will he
watched with great interest in this
country, there is no doubt that the
people of Ireland have the warmest
sympathy of our citizens iu their
struggle. Their gallantry, their
wrongs, their patriotism and their
suffering, their love of country and
their heroic struggle for have
won for them that sympathy which
we are q nick to accord to the oppress
ed und down-trodden, and that ad
miration which gallunt deeds always
excite. Louisville Ledger.
