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,” Jacksonville, Fla., has an opera 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. The debt of Alabama is over $30,- 000,000. THE TIMES: FRIDAY MORNING, DECEMBER 10, m. TO THE PUBLIC.
