Gen. Babcock has enough offices at
Washington to satisfy tho most hun
gry offloe-seeker. He is Major of En
gineers, regular army; Private Secre
tary to President Grant, Commission
er of Public Grounds, President of
the Columbia Lying-in Asylum, Eu
gineer-ln-Chlef of the Washington
aqueduct and architect of the new
State and War Department buildings.
“Evil Communications Corrupt
Good Manners."— Poor Babcock! In
dicted by the Grand Jury at St. Louis,
for complicity with the Whiskey
Ring. Babcock might have known
that constant and intimate associa
tion with such a man as Ulysses S.
Grant, would inevitably lead to the
penitentiary. Poor Babcock! anoth
er victim of misplaced confidence.
Gone to rejoice with Joyce!
Dr. Trelat, Dr. Moreau, and other
well known French physicians have
recently made a roport on lunacy in
France. Madness falls heaviest in
Paris on the artisans and cooks.
Next to them is the trading class. la
sanity is not frequent in men belong
ing to liberal professions, aud the
proportion is lowest among garden
ers and spade laborers.
The New York Suu says: “The
poverty of the South has multiplied
candidates, for there are already in
the field ten ex-members from as
many States, to say nothing of appli
cants less known, who till up the va
cant niches. Most of the former are
men of good repute, and some of
them acquired respectable positions
in Congress as sound and honorable
legislators.
The salary for the State Treasurer
is entirely two small. It prevents
the employment of our best finan
ciers, nnd that office should be held
only by meu whose financial skill is
well determined. The idea that a
competent man should give a bond
of $200,000 in order to do the duties
and assume tho responsibilities of
the State Treasurer for the paltry sal
ary of $2,00u is absurd. Let the
Treasurer’s salary be doubled.
“Straws show which way the wind
blow.” The Washington Chronicle
has as the caption of one its articles,
“Address of Governor Smith, of Geor
gia, to the People of that Place." The
reference to Georgia as “that place”
is characteristic of the tendency of
Radicalism. If Grant is re-elected
we may as well expunge from the
vocabulary the word “State,” and sub
stitute the word “place.” Tothoßad
ical mind a State occupies the same
relative position to tho Federal Gov
ernment as a county does to a State.
Both are merely “places.”
We learn that a man was lined
SSOO in Atlanta for disturbing the
theatre in that city by his rude and
boisterous conduct. We need just
such a measure here. Tuo opinion
of strangers of our people aud our
refinement, should not be influenced
by such ungentlemaniy conduct. If
men or boys do not know how to be
have themselves, let the police teach
them. If the police do not do this,
let our ladies abstain from all exhibi
tions until it is done.
ll* THE SOI Til A TART OP THE

Reconciliation without practical
I-Wficlpation in the honors, rewards,
afil responsibilities of the Govern
ment, is a sentimental sham and a
political deception.— New York Bun.
We thank the Bun for that manly
sentence. It is duo to the Bouth
that It shall have its just share of
consideration. In no other way can
it be made to feel enthusiasm for, or
equality in the Union. It hue, how
ever, no voice in the Supreme Court,
no representation in the diplomatic
service. Where on earth is there an
American Consul of Southern birth V
“Carpet-baggers” and “Scalawags”
fill nearly ail the Federal local offi
ces. We ask the North if this state
of things is always to continue ? Are
we in tho Union ? Is secession an
accomplished fact? Are we always
to be regurded as a proscribed peo
ple ? Truly it seems that reconcilia
tion means a gathering of all the
"loaves and fishes" by tho North
and West, and that those sections
have determined to “eat tho oyster
and divide tho shell.” The boasted
“new era” packs our juries witli
negroes ignorant of reading, writing,
or the simplest forms of education ;
strangers are Internal Revenue Col
lectors ; strangers occupy ail the lu
crative offices. The Bouth is poor—
poorerthan Northern men “dream of
in their philosophy,” (?) and this
poverty is duo to bad legislation
springing from this partisan and un
wise distribution of offices. Grant
had the opportunity of making the
grandest name in American history,
but h?> has let that opportunity pass,
and fifteen millions of people suffer
from his selfish and partisan policy.

Hancock
This confidential Secretary and in
timate friend of Boss Grant, may yet
occupy a cell in tho penitentiary, if
rumor is correct, Lieut. Fred Grant,
the son of the President of the United
Btates, is also entitled to a berth
there. Gen. Babcock is most cele
brated now as the writer of telegrams.
Tho Now York Bun says: Among
these telegrams was tho following,
the original of which was in the
handwriting ot Babcock :
“Washington, D. 0., Deo. 1:1, 1874.
“dm. John McDonald,tit. DjiHh:
“I succeeded. They will not go. I
will wi ito you.
“(Signed; Sylph.”
McDonald, it must bo remembered,
vvaa-the chief of tho Ring, who lias
just been convicted on several dif
ferent indictments, who was always
treated with exceptional distinction
whenever he visited Grant in Wash
ington or Grant visited hlin iu St.
Louis, and who has been sentenced.
This proves that this conspiracy
had its stronghold in the White
House. How far was Grant in it?
The easy and familiar style of ref
erence to tho President, points oven
to the occupant of tho Wbito House
with suspicion. But the President
tb us far has defiantly met his accusers
and has said, "Lot no guilty man es
cape.” It investigation continues as
it has begun, tbo press should'not
condemn before guilt is established,
then “give it to them in Gen. Cheat
ham’s style.”
Tins is the opinion of tho New
York World as to how a newspaper
should be conducted. It, is needless
to say that this is our opinion also.
Further north, in Chicago, tho
devil sits, picking his teeth with a
pitchfork. It is truly melancholy
to see so many Western editors bow
ing down to lies and serving out the
truth between slits of sentences, for
fear of tho loss of a few advertisers
and subscribers. The whole broad
plain of tho West presents this sorry
spoctaele—of muitttudeaof boisterous
or sluggish, butalways Ignorant, full
grown children, whose political
guides, like weak-kneed school
masters, are too cowardly to toil
them tho truth. The Western press
Is an enormous power; but let me
tell you aud Western editors that its
power is in most cases frightfully
misapplied.
As I conceive it, the first and prin
cipal busiuess of a daily newspaper
is to give Its readers the nowts. The
news includes, beside the recital oi
mere facts, aocouutsof public} opinion
and feeling on various questions of
the day.
Accompanying this recital, it is the
business and duty of a newspaper to
interpret tho nows and explain its
relations to the general welfare; and
as all political questions of the time
are nows, it is a newspaper’s dutv to
discuss them for the information of
its readers on tho highest plane of
editorial conscience and conviction.
Any newspaper which, like scores
of Western newspapers, devotes its
columns at any time to the. poison
ing of news accounts by deliberate
alteration, or which stoops to propi
tiate its readers by studied conces
sions to their prejudices is a fraud.
Tire special correspondent of the
Chronicle & Sentinel thus writes
from Washington to that paper:
The Georgia delegation is perhaps
the best from the Bouth aud is con
ceded to be equal to that sent to
Washington this winter by any State
in tho Union. They are the recipi
ent of much flattering attention.
The utmost harmony seem to pre
vail among the Georgia members and
there is no likelihood that Georgia’s
voice will lack potentiality from a
want of hearty unanimity among
her representatives. Mr. Stephens’
absence is much regretted, and there
are many and anxious Inquiries con
cerning the health of this veteran
statesman and political tactician.
Mr. Hill’s reputation has given him
a welcome almost unprecedented in
its cordiality. Col. Hartridge’s repu
tation has also preceded him and he
will be most cordially received. Dr.
Felton will co-operate heartily with
the Democratic majority. Messrs.
Harris, Cook and Blount,’of the old
delegation, are here and are much
commended by their associates iu
previous Congresses for discretion
and fidelity in tho discharge of their
duties. N'lmPorte.
Our readers will pardon tho ap
pearance of our paper to-day. The
proceedings of the yearly rei>ort of
the City Counoil are so lengthy as to
preclude other matter which, though
prepared, we did not have time to
print.
Statisticians calculate that there
are now in work some 300,mm steam
engines, with a total power of 12,000,-
000 horses, corresponding to the
muscular strength of 100,000,000 men.
rutii OPINION.
If Gen. Grant’s injunction touching
the whiskey fraud*, to “let no guilty
man escape,” is obeyed, he will have
to call at the penitentiary when he
next vlsltsßi. Louis, trt find the most
devoted of his Bt, Louis, friends.
Cincinnati Commercial, Doui.
There is a vast difference bet ween
a sensible Chief Justice and Presi
dent Grant. Mr. Waite was able to
make himself understood in a letter
touching tho Presidential candidacy.
He was able to say no, and Grant
wasn’t. Cincinnati Enquirer, Dem.
Samuel ,T. Randall is the true
Northern representative of Southern
sentiment. He is tho man for re
union. Tho South owes him a debt
of gratitude, and she lias now the
opportunity to express her apprecia
tion of ids services. We trust that,
every Southern Demcrat. aud Con
servative will support him. Rich

Agricultural and Protective Tar
mx.-Tho German Council of Agri
culture has petitioned the Imperial
Government to reject all proposals to
make the customs tariff protective.
Farmers in Pennsylvania, New Jer
sey, New York aud New England
have been misinformed in a way that
leads thousands to vote for protec
tive tariffs as an advantage to agri
culture by increasing the home mar
ket, for grain, meat, hatter, cheese,
fruits and vegetables. But to con tend
that legislative restrictions on trade
with foreign nations is beneficial to
home industry of any kind, is as ab
surd as to say that an industrious'
people, with their hands tied, can do
more and better work than with full
liberty to use their hands as they
please. A turiff for protection,which
restrained no man from buying in the
cheapest market and soiling in the
dearest, would be worthless to any
manufacturer, and could not stand a
day. To be worth anything, protec
tion must be robbery by the forms of
law.—Savannah News.
