Thk very rediculoua and would-be
funny man of the Savannoh News,
merits tills amusing slander:
Columbus audiences are the most
critical in the State. If they are not
satisfied with a performance they
gather around the door of the
theatre and demand their monoy
back, or its equivalent in prise candy
boxes
Atlanta has received 37,101 bales of
ootton, and the stock on hand Sept.
Ist was only 373 bales. An error Is
going the rounds of the Press to the
effect that the receipts slnee Sept. Ist
were only 29,400 bales. Wo copied
the statement from an exchango; and
thinking that it must be an error, we
have sought for the facts, and find
the above statement In the Constitu
tion of the 7th inst.
Thk Eufaula News pictures tho
condition of the planters thus: The
price of bulk meats and ootton, per
pouud, arc now pretty close together,
but meat has the advantage by about
Jc. It strikes us forcibly, that the
planter who has to give over a pound
of cotton for a pound of moat, Is hav
ing a rough time of It, and as a per
manent schedule on which to run his
farm, It Is bound to run him into
bankruptcy.
Thf. Memphis Avalanche says:
"They will build cotton factories
down in Georgia- The latest is Trion
Factory in Chattooga county, just
completed at a cost of $30,000, and
now receiving SIOO,OOO worth of ma
chinery. The capital stock is $225,-
000, of which two men, Messrs. Marsh
& Allgood, hold $185, 000. That fac
tory will be a success. The time is
coming —and not far dlstant-when a
very large proportion, of the cotton
grown la the South will be manufac
tured at home, not only for domestic
supply, but for export.”
—-'—-■
THENew York Tribune refreshingly
says: "Why should Tweed runaway?
The conundrum at first seems a per
plexing one. He was living very com
fortably ; and his lawyers seemed as
industrious and as shifty as ever.
But that was the very rub. Under
their hands his vast, possessions were
absolutely melting away in the shape
of enormeus fees. He did not run
away from his jailers at all. He ran
away from his lawyers. They are
entitled to the sincere sympathy of
the public in their bereavement.”
Tweed ought to join the California
Grangers.
THE NEW CONtREM*.
The New York Horald has an elab
orate 1 fader on tho above Subject, in
which docurs this sentence: "The
parliamentary contest of this winter
Is likely to decide the Presidential
canvass of next year.” The Demo
cratic Speaker, Mr. Kerr, is conceded
to be one of the ablest Democrats in
Congress, of great political consist
ency, jiersonnl integrity, and strong
will. But opposed to him is ex-
Kpoaker Blaine, the finest parliamen
tarian in this country, except perhaps
Mr. Cox of New York. The Republi
can leaders are astute and tried poli
ticians, and have been so skillfully
drilled as to unite In a compact party
in emergen jies. Their numerical in
feriority, however, will no longer ad
mit of tho flanking tactics so consist
ently pursued heretofore. Tho Dem
ocrats, for the first time in a long
while, havo the advantage of num
bers. As nearly as party strength
can be stated, tho House will have
106 Republicans, 14 members who
profess various shades of Independ
ence, and ip a full House of ‘232 mem
bers, ttaore aro 172 Democrats. This
advantage on the part of tho Demo
crats is lessened by tho fact that a
large number are now members, un
skilled in party tactics.
The Herald adds: "One hundred
and twenty-two of the Democratic
members did not serve in tho last
Congress, and tho Republicans have,
in proportion to their strength, a
greater number of experienced mem
bers than their opponents. Less than
sixty of tho new Democratic mem
bers are from the Southern States.”
Tills defect is perhaps counterbal
anced by tho fact that the new mem
bers are free from any Credit. Mobilier
frauds, and their political reputations
are, as Congressmen, unsullied.
The strongest point made in the
Herald’s article is this: “The princi
pal embarrassment of the Republi
cans in the House will lie in tho ne
cessity resting upon them to defend
an administration which tho leading
men do uot like, and which most of
them would readily oonsent to see
broken down. If tills could be done
without damaging their party’s pros
pects in the next election. The ablest
Republicans in the new House are
uot fuvoritesrof the Administration,
and will tiave to defend what in their
hearts they disapprove, and will do
so knowing that they will receive no
thanks for their efforts from the
President.”
The Escape of Tweed
clearly indicates complicity on the
part of his guardians, and they should
be severely punished if found guilty.
Tho case of Tweed is a standing proof
of the impotency of the law when a
criminal of great wealth is prosecu
ted. The fact that such liberal op
portunities were given the greatest
thiof in tho United States to escapo,
oouplod with the additional fact that
attorneys received $500,000 from him,
forms a black record for the so-called
“majesty of the law.” The law in
these degenerate days is moat gross
ly abuaod—yea, by one of the pillars
of Plymouth Church, “Brother”
Shearman.
The New York Times says; In all
probability Tweed was spirited away
very soon after ho loft Ludlow street
jail. Tho necessary arrangements
had doubtless been made beforehand,
and alt that Dunham and Hagan had
to do was to keep out of the way un
til after dark, and thus give the “old
man” the benefit of a long start
ahead. The day was, of course, care
fully chosen—five steamers sailed lor
Europe, and Tweed might have been
safely smuggled on board almost any
one of them, under cover of a simple
disguise. The Gorman steamer
sailed, we belie vj, at two in the af
ternoon—a oohvenlent hour.
spMhrr Kerr.
The special dispatch to the New
York Times, which wo print in this j
issue, estimates that the Speaker
elect, Mr. Kerr, is opposed to the
Texas Pacific subsidy on constitu
tional grounds. But the Now York
Herald, in a leader under the caption
of "The Restoration of the Bour
bons,” says of Mr. Korr: "From the
very beginning Mr. Kerr has been
supported by the Bourbons of the
Democracy. He represents that ele
ment which has labored since the
beginning of the war to return the
Democratic party to the position It
occupied under Buchanan. His suc
cess as Speaker is virtually a ropetl
tiou of the policy which made Coek-
Teil Senator from Missouri, Wallace
from Pennsylvania, and Eaton from
Connecticut.”
Now the position which tho Demo
cratic purty occupiod under Buchan
an was that tho Government had a
right to grant aid in land and money
subsidies to develop tho country in
the interests of peace. The message
of President Buchanan in 1857, which
we published yesterday, clearly
stated this in language that cannot
be misunderstood. Either the New
York Times, or the Herald, Kerr, or
President Buchanan, did not express
the opinion of the Democracy.
Wk have received a oopy of The
Southerri Industries, a paper publish
ed simultaneously At Nashville,Mont
gomery and Atlanta. From it we
learn that over 7,0#) Northerners had
applied for information concerning
the South up to September 15th, and
the number has been rapidly Increas
ing ever since. At the present rate
of incie tse this list will reach 50,000
in less than twelve months.
We endorse this statement which
wo find in it written to Northern
men: “For instance, you say you
could not sell your farm for more
than $3,0g0, and that it. is worth $5,-
0#). Now, with the $3,000 you can
buy a farm here that was worth $lO,-
000 before the war, and will be again
before three years,”

house. The Florida Union pro
nounces it a perfect bi jou of a theatre.
HI BMC OPINION'.
While yet a young man Mr. Kerr’s
career wus foreshadowed by the late
Judge John Galbraith of tho Eric Dis
trict, who said: "That. young man
will make his mark in the world,
should he live and not meet with se
rious puli-bocks. His native ability,
of which he has a goodly share,
hlghtened by application, and his
quick perceptions, added to bis ster
ling integrity, will soon bring him
forward. I would not be surprised
to see him go up, step by step, until
he reaches eminence.” Mr Kerr is
an uncompromising Free Trade, and
before the war wus an extreme Elutes’
Rishts man. He is in favor of hard
money, but has not committed him
self to any time or manner of resutn
tion.—New York Tribune.
A Pittsburg Democratic organ nom
inates Judge Black for the Presiden
cy on the ground thut “Grant will un
doubtedly be the Republican candi
date.” If the friends of “Pennsylva
nia’s favorite son” cannot urge bis
claims on any better pretext, than
that, they might as well give him up.
—Boston Journal, Hop.
Assuming that Secretary Fish has
treated the subject up to the present
time as a newspaper sensation, and
that he has no denial from the Minis
ter, an explanation should at once
be demanded by the Secretary, the al
ternative being to recall on the dis
tinct, ground of the dishonorable con
nection of Gen. Sehenck's name with
the swindle'—Newburgh Journal,
ltep.
The truth is, that Mr. Kerr lias nev
er been inconsistent on the subject of
the curreucy, and any attempt to dis
tort his utteraneesfor such a purpose
Is little less than a deliberate false
hood.—Now Albany Ledger-Stand
ard, Rep.
It 1b pretty clear t hat the country
is to be carried by the Republicans
next year. Only some grievous mis
take, amounting to crime in the load,
ers, can prevent this result; and if
that party shall elecl James G. Blaine
for President all will be well.- Chica
go Post and Mail, Rep.
President Grant will have suffi
cient seuse of propriety to put a bet
ter man in Schenck’s shoes at once.
A longer delay will be an insuit to
both England and America.—St.
Louis Republican, Ind.
This winter at Wastiington Is the
political pivot-polnton which the des
tiny of the Democratic party, and of
tho country, turns. Let everybody
on the Conservative sideof the House
be guarded in words as well as votes.
—Richmond Whig, Dem.
It is understood that President
Grant, in his annual message, will
si>eak with emphasis concerning the
third term question. He will plainly
state that he does not want another
election to the Presidency. What
will the “independent” papers
do then, poor things?—Springfield
Union, Rep.
It is now understood that Prescient
Grant in his annual message did not
mention tho third term. What will
the dependent papers do now, poor
things ?
We have heard a horrid rumor that.
Gov. Tilden, of Now York, has weak
ened on the currency question since
the election. It oomes by tho way of
David A. Wells. Wo should like to
know tho particulars.—Boston Her
ald. _____
That there is a strong Democrat op
fiosition to tho Finance bill, provld
ng for the resumption of specie pay
ments on the first of January, 1879,
abundant evidedoe has already been
given, by many of the more promi
nent members of the party. But it
will boa sad day for tho country
when tho provisions of tho bill aro
changed, or any attempt is made to
render inoperative tho arrangements
of the Secretary of tho Treasury to
carry out its provisions. Washing
ton Chronicle.
With regard to Tweed, the New
York Herald says:
“Justloe, in fact, was Uis valet.
There was no real attempt to deprive
him of ids liberty, as the law re
quired. Tho law! But what is the
law In New York, when tho criminal
is rich ? Because Tweed was rich the
jail was onlyu lodging house to him.
and that ho inhabited it at all was
simply a prudent compliance with
certain formalities. Other criminals
could hardly put their noses through
the liars, but this millionaire of a
nubile robber had the doors of the
jail obsequiously unlocked for him
whenever ho chose to order.
Everything unites to make Tweed’s
escape inexcusable. In the first
place it was a crime to allow him the
freedom which was denied to other
oonvicts.
Tho same paper thus lectures Mr.
Beecher:
We think that Mr. Beecher’s true
course in this complication would be
to retire from tne pulpit. He is
making an uneven war. He is one
against ten thousand. The ten thou
sand who uro fighting him would
liuve continued tho controversy even
if he find received a unanimous ver
dict from the jury.
Now, a clergyman, like a judge,
should not only be guiltless, but
above even the suspicion of guilt.
Even rumor should not assail him.
Scandal always tarnishes the sacred
pflieo.
Asa sign of the times and the pro
gress toward centralization, wo print
tho following from the New York
Tribune:
The beioousness of the crime of
conspiracy, in this couutry above all
others, arises from that infinite sub
division of political power which in
Btatos like Kentucky, for instance,
renders a remote little neighboi
hood an absolute sovereignty so far
as the prevention and punishment
of crime are concerned. Judge Em
mons ends his charge by saying:
“Until the statesmen of our country,
State or national, shall afford a rem
edy for these now unredressed
wrongs, and provide a wider jurisdic
tion for the trial of offenses partici
pated in by great numbers, and re
sulting from local excitement, the
nation must continuo to submit to
this disgrace, and the injured citizen
to the suffering which such crimes
inflict.” This of course raises a gra
ver question than any involved in
the trial. But while waiting these
Radical modifications in our judicial
and legislative system, wo should be
glad to sec our present laws expound
ed with as much judgment and exe
cuted with as much soldiorly reserve
and discretion as they have "recently
received in Kentucky at the hands o’f
General -McDowell and of Judge Em
mons.
Fast Life.— Every newspaper read
er must have noticed the unusually
largo number of exposures of dis
honest clerks and cashiers lately
made in this city. Whether these
have been crowded into a few weeks
by the scrutiny which the close of
the year always makesin merehantile
affairs or not. we do not know. It is
certain, however, that the magnitude
of soms of these thefts, aud the base
ness of certain breaches of trust,
show a most unfortunate state of
things.—New York Times.
