THE DAILY TIMES. Columbm. fin.. WEDNESDAY DECEMBER 1. 1878- ’* LARGEST DAILY OIEOULATION ■ ■ vtijf *4 Wnbwrh*. rOSTUXK, I > . - Kdllort. . vtu-mam* l 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. I.KTTKR I'HO.W ATUXTA. KEWS I BOM 'tUECAHTOI.—THE Ul HVI ITV 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. Hinbad. 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. *• ♦ • Tliinl Term Sole*. Gathered by the New York Ueralil.] “Good for the Republican party.”— Gen. Grant. The Republican party cannot nom inate any other man. Omaha Herald, Dem. Republican Grant men will increase and multiply from this day forward. —Omaha Herald, Dem. Grant is running for a third term, booted and spurred.—Philadelphia Times, Ind. The strangest phenomenon in all our polities is this fear of the Repub lican leaders in tho presence of Grant. —Boston Post, Dem. There is an effort going on to keep the President’s name afloat as a pos sible candidate before the next Na tional Convention,—Boston Adver tiser, Rep. There is no doubt that it is part of the third term scheme to keep tlie Spanish imbroglio in a ferment.— Washington Correspondence of Cin cinnati Enquirer, Dem. Gen. Grant is the strongest man in that party for tlie Presidency, and he will receive its nomination" without serious opposition in the Republican National Convention. Omaha Her ald, Dem. John W. Forney has the honor of firing the first gun for Grant and a third term.—Omaha Herald, Dem. The General President, after eight years’ experience, is now without enough political reason to compute the simplest principle of govern ment. -Baltimore Gazette, Dem. Old Zack Chandler appears to be tho leader iu the third term move ment. A fitting leader! Wilmington, N. C., Star, Dem. There is no respectable Republican paper, so far as we arc able to dis cover, which advocates the third term scheme.—Rochester Democrat, Rep. Every politician of tho least sagac ity knows that Grant is to boa third term candidate, and that all tho pro testations in the recent Republican platform were spurious.- Milwaukee News, Dem. Squirm as the reformers like Blaine and others may, tlie third term is a growing probability in the calcula tions of Republican politicians. [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 ing.—Richmond Whig, Dem. 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 tions of 18T5. They were abandoned as soon as they hail served a tempo j rnry purpose. General Grant saw j these resolutions coolly adopted ; he was silent and patient; tie knew how little they wore worth; ho had meas ured and"weighed the pledges of his [tarty before, and be knew that its professed policy would be abandoned as soon as the emergency had passed. —Milwaukee News, Dem. We believe that not a decade will pass before the American people, j getting out of the present cloud of j not puiposeless dust, will review ! these tales of his grasping jobbery and ill-gotten wealth, of third term, of grasping for power, and in its in dignation find only four words to say to a certain class of journalists of to day: “You have been lying.”— Brooklyn Union, Adnt. Dem." ]HE nm: WEDNESDAY toJMIiNG, DECEMBER 1, 1875. 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.
