Tho damage already Is groat—estimated by some to be twonty-flvo por cent, of tho entire orop. This, with tho caterpillar, Is a little discouraging to say tho least of it.

"There," ho exclaimed to his companion, “I shall loso my cough medicine." That was presence of mind for you. How Many, Iml tails Are In This War. Those who suppose it will bean easy task to whip out the Western savages, will loaru better when they read the following from tho Idaho Statesman : Father Mesplie, who is well post ed on the Indian tribes, gives the fol lowing estimate of their numbers: He puts the Sioux down at 00,000; the Crows at 15,000; Blaekfeet, 20,00*1; lltea or Utahs, 35,1KK); and in addi tion there are the Brule, Ogalalin, Minneconjou, Yanctonnais.Uncpapa, Two Kettles, San Acres and Sontoo bauds. Some of the Crows and some others who live around the reserva tion are friendly, but many who pre tend friendship will gather arms and ammunition for their tribes. He says they are in strong alliance with each other to carry on this war, al though when they have no common enemy to fight they fight each other; but now they are united against what they consider a common enemy, and will turn out all their warriots, and they will number at least 50,000, and the Father says its likely to bo the most formidable and bloody Indian war in the history of our Govern ment. They are well armed, and will fight to the death whenever they are cornered. “PROPRIETY." The editor of the Enquirer Is still harping on “Propriety.” Wo com mend to him the subject as one worthy of as much consideration as he rnay have leisure to give it. But questions of Propriety are so purely questions of Taste that wo must decline a further discussion, feeling assured that, when con sidered In connection with personal conduct, no satisfactory conclusion can be reached. Wo have our Tastes, the editor of tho Enquirer has Ids Tastes, and Dr. Palmer has his. Whether we agree with the editor of the Enquirer or not may be a matter of small conse quence; and whether that editor and Dr, Palmer agree is a matter for them to settle. We are not the cham pion or the ussailant of the course of either. Dr. Palmer has announced himself ready to settlo at any time, and If the Local of the Enquirer wishes to “sensate” further, wo must respectfully refer him to the Doctor, at his office In Mafshall, Alabama. Mil. THWEATT’* CARD. We publish to-day tho card of Mr. Peterson Thweatt, addressed to the “Democratic People of Georgia.” In it Mr. Thweatt announces himself a candidate before the next Legisla ture for the ofilco of Comptroller General of tho State—a place filled by him in years past, with marked ability. But his candidacy is not the feature of his card that will most strike our readers, nor the one that will most startle them. Mr. Thweatt makes oharges against the present Comptroller General, that should lie thoroughly Investigated; and It is astonishing to us, who are on the out side, how such abuses, if they exist as stated, should have been permitted to go unox posed and unremedied, so long. Legislative committees here tofore have been hoodwinked, it seems, and it will devolve on the Legislature to be elected this fall, to see how far the charges made by Mr. Thweatt can be sustained by the facts; and wo trust a competent com mittee will be charged with the in vestigation, early in the coming ses sion. If Mr. Goldsmith has been a faithful officer, he should be relieved from tho charges contained in this card, with the loast possible delay; while, if the grave charges made by Mr. Thweatt are true, he should not only he superseded by some more worthy officer, but he should be made to restore to tho State all sums of money wrongfully or Irregularly withheld from the public treasury. If “Ring Influence,” in tho Legisla ture or elsewhere, has shielded Mr. Goldsmith heretofore, it will behoove tho people of the Stuto to take tho matter in hand, in tho fall elections, and see to it, that, no man capable of tolerating official corruption, in any department of the State Government, shall be sent to the Legislature. An honest and intelligent representation at the State Capital, can soon correct all that is wrong; and there has been no time lu the history of Georgia, when such a representation wus more needed than now, if Mr. Thweatt is not strangely mistaken In his facts. IIF.I.KYAI’ * ESCAPE. In the result of the impeachment, trial of our late Secretary of War, wo seethe latest exemplification of tho operation and the effect ofGrantism, and the most reoont specimen of tho manner in which the Republican party deals with the subject. Bel knap acknowledged himself guilty of tho crimes for which he was tried; upon his own confession was the in vestigation ordered. With tho full knowledge of this avowal, the Presi dent permits him to resign his offloo; the man who could say no word of commendation to Bristow, to Jewell, or to Bluford Wilson, accepts Bel knap’s resignation “with regret.” Not for the injury that had been wrought to tho country,- not for the poor Indians who had boon plun dered, that this perjurer might put money in bis poekots; not for tho crimes that had disgraced his Cabi net, did this model President ex press regret. No—ho regretted that the man had boon sucli a fool as to acknowledge his villianies; he de plored the exposure, which would be likely to open the people’s eyes to tho enormities of himself and all whom he bad about him; he lament ed that opportunities for outrage and depredation might thus bo lessened, and Unit one of his most abject and useful coadjutors in crime would be removed from his service. And what did the Senate—the highest representative of tho Bepub lican party—under the circumstan ces? Did its members come forward like men, and condemn the proceed ing as nn outrageous defiance of pub lic opinion? Did they declare that the culprit should not be allowed to take advautago of tho petty trick, and escape the consequences of his misdeeds? Oh, no; like beings who felt the full force of the Counsel’s insolent assertion that his client, differed from them only in degree, they made their cause his own, aud gladly seized upou tho loophole through which they themselves might at any time be glad to crawl. In the face of the decision that their body bad author ity to investigate the case, they felt that it comported with their duty to give, at its conclusion, expression to their disinclination to throw blame upon their unfortunate co-partner iu iniquity, they however felt the strong restraint of the publio mind upou them. Such has been the pro gress of sentiment among the people, that worthy twenty-five, who but a very short time since sat upon a rook so high that the waters could not reach them, felt the current of the nation’s thought running unfa- ! vorable to the advance of i their rascality, and were com-, pellod to abate somewhat thei progress they were making. They saved the criminal from the punish ment he had earned, but they took care to say that they considered the case as proved against him. This shows that they are cognizant of the turn of the tide. It is well that they take more to heart the warning thus given them, or they will before long find themselves,without preparation, engulfed In the waters of a sea in which it is Impossible for such as them to breathe aud live. If they and their master have not proceeded so far in human knowledge that they can receive no further instruction, let them learn a lesson now. The days of them and their foul deeds are numbered. In a short time they will be swept from tho face of the earth which they have so long contaminat ed. ALABAMA VICIOKIOIN. From every section of Alabama comes tho cheering news of victory for the Democracy, and the complete overthrow of Radicalism in that State. It is the great Centennial ti dal wave, that we hope will forever engulph radicalism in the Union. The Montgomery Advertiser with headquarters at the capital is better posted on the result, and we clip the following as tho summary of the election : The returns indicate the triumph of the Demoe-ruey In every county in the State with tho exception of Au tauga, Dallas, Greene, Lowndes, Fer ry aud AVilcox. Tho news from Bul lock, Barbour, Macon, Marengo, Hale and Sumter was re ceived with great satisfaction here, and tho thorough going, hard working Democrats of those counties were recipients of many de served compliments. The Radical majority in the counties which they have carried is greatly reduced, and it is estimated will not aggregate ex ceeding 8,000. Indeed, that is a lib eral estimate, and this reduction shows that although not successful our Democratic brethren in those counties still held by the Radicals were active and wideawake. AVe have not sufficient returns before us to war rant a table of votes in this issue, but the Democratic majorities thus far re ported in the following counties : Bar bour, Bibb, Bullock, Butler, Calhoun, Chambers, Chilton, Colbert, Cone cub, DeKalb, Etowah, Escambia, El more, Hale, Jackson, Jefferson, Lau derdale, Lawreuce, Lee, Limestone, Macon, Madison, Marengo, Mobile, Morgan, Pike, Russell, Shelby, Sum ter, St. Clair, Talladega and Tuscaloo sa, aggregate 30,846, and this over comes the majorities tho Radicals will receive and leaves about 22,846 votes over. This estimate includes only thirty-eight counties. The re maining twenty-seven counties gave Gov. Houston in 1874 an aggregate majority of 20,019 votes, und it Is not probable that it will be decreased this time. The Radicals will have Senators from Montgomery, Dallas, Lowuiles, and Perry. The Democrats will have at least 27 Senators. In the House the Radical vote will be confined to tho members eleot from Montgomery. Lowndes, Autauga, Perry,Dallas and Greene, aggregating 15, with the baro possibility of electing 5 more, making the Democratic vote in the House about 80, and with a majority on joint ballot of about 80. This is a good working majority for these times. ATLANTA LETTER. M IJ. MOKE* FOR THE LEUIMLATI HE A Word About ilie Time*. ATLANTA AS A TRADING TOWN. Atlanta, Ga., August 6, 1876. Editors Columbus Times: Dear Sirs —I notice that an appeal lias been made to Maj. R. J. Moses to become a candidate for the repre sentative bench of the next Legisla ture and that he has given his consent to run. This news is gratifying to his many friends here who formerly re sided in your city, aud admired him for his bright intellect, manly char acter and ability iu the pastas a rep resentative of old Muscogee. His speech in this city, on the occasion of tho ratification of Colquitt's nom ination was not only admired by his personal friends; but enthusiastically cheered by the immense multitude present on the occasion. His patri otic services in the late war, his fidel ity and ability us a citizen aud legis lator entitles bint to the support of the citizens. The commercial and agricultural interests of the whole country would be safe iu his hands. The Times is a regular and wel come visitor. There is one feature in your paper which entitles it to re spect and admiration, that is the total absence of sensational, slander ous and indecent articles, such as we find in a majority of the papers of tho country. lam not afraid for my family to read and discuss any article they may find in it. Crops in this section, und hun dreds of miles around are said to be better than for the last ten years. There is a good prospect ahead of us, large crops aud small sales of guano. Atlanta is still improving, many substantial stores aud handspme residences being erected. This is emphatically a trading city—appro pos. A short time since a gentleman aud lady were engaged- gentleman buys a license —afterwards repents of the engagement—tries to have the license cancelled—Judge Pittman could not see it in that light—disap pointed lover puts the license on the market for sale— no bidders—as a matter of true economy marries his girl, and is now a happy mortal. “Muscogee.” AA'e think our correspondent is mis taken about Maj. Moses consenting to run for the Legislature, He .is pressed, however, by a large part of the community to do so, and we learn he will probably cousent to be come a candidate. [Ed.] WAMIISCITON LETTER. From our regular correspondent.] AVashington, August 4th, 1876. After an absence of three months from the National Capitol, I observe on my return some changes. In dif ferent parts of (he city are suspended banners, having upon them the vis ages of two mediocal men, and the names of Hayes and AVheeler. These banners are hung from windows under which upon boards, like a pawn brokers sign, is written the le gend : “Maine Republican Club” or “Wisconsin Republican Associa tion.” I am so unfortunate a3 to have an office in a building where ono of these .State associations meets to “run the machine,” and, I see very frequently, during tho day, •three or four disreputable looking bummers directing campaign circu lars. Yesterday porters were carry ing literal cards of these circulars to the club rooms. This literature is pretty well known even at this early day of the campaign, and contains, doubtless, more pernicious falsehood to the square inch, than anything that has been written in Centennial times. AVashington is the lair where the spring motor, like a serpent is coiled, and if any man imugines that the “machine” will Dot run to its fullest capacity, and that the Government clerks, will not, as usual, be taxed and drilled and sent home to vote, he has forgotten that Chandler and Ed monds and Don Cameron are here, laughing at the specious promises of civil service reform iu Hayes’ letter of acceptance. One tiling may be re lied upon : Tiie office-holders will work as one man to uphold the party tnat feeds them, aud for the man who iias told them substantially iu his letter of acceptance, that those iu office will not ho disturbed. * They will vote for him and make votes for him in as business-like way as they would have done for Grant or Couk liug. Members of Congress aud Senators j have donned straw hals, alpaca coats, light colored pantaloons, and palm leaf fans; they drink oceaDS of lemonade, iced tea, etc., aud do ail they can to counteract the influence of this red-hot weather. I have just passed Senator Routwell of Massa chusetts driving toward tho Capital in a phioton ; he looks as though the lierry sun had fried some of the radi cal bile out of him, but the essence isdoubtles rankling there still. Senator Caperton of AVest Virginia died suddenly on Monday evening of this week, and, it is thought that Mr. Faulkner, a representative from that State, will be appointed to till tiie unexplred term in the Senate. The death of Senator Caperton will make it necessary to elect two Sena tors instead of ono in AA’est Va., this winter. It is believed here that the Kilkenny candidacy of Davis and Faulkner will result in the defeat of both, aud that the fiatneas of mauy of the candidates who traded in the late Senatorial contest, in that State, will cause the Legislature to look to now men. Most prominent of those talked of, for one of the vacancies, is Prof, W. K. Pendleton, of Bethany, who lias recently received the nomi nation lor superintendent of public schools. Massachusetts lias sent one college professor to the lower House; it would be significant if AVest Va., should go one better und send a col lege professor to the senate. ' Many changes have taken place iu Ihe different departments recently. There is much known aqd talked about here, among the clerks and employees, that never reaches the newspapers, aud never comes up be fore investigating committees. Soon after Treasurer Spinner was crowded out to make room for tiie proteges of the Indiana Senator and his kin, a sum of S2OO was missed from tho Redemption Division. The loss ex cited some comment from the press, but tho matter was overlooked in the more august thievery of a Cabinet minister. Smaller sums continually disappeared, and a nephew of Treas urer New, imported from Indiana and given a fat place in the Treasu rer’s office, it was said, spent more money at disreputable places than even bis fat salary could account for ; but. the places that knew uephew New in Indiana soon beheld him again, we would infer, from a para graph in an Indianapolis paper, to the effect that the nephew had re turned without houor to his oh} haunts. But the books of the Treasurer must be balanced, and the s2,oooand other small sums must be paid by Treasurer New or his bondsmen. In the Redemption Division the female counters frequently have to count a package of mutilated paper money, containing a sum slightly over or under the amount at which it is inventoried. The surplus is called “overs,"the deficit is called “shorts.” It had always been the custom to make the “overs,” as nearly as pos sible, balance the “shorts,” and, at the end of the month, the counters bad seldom anything deducted from their pay. But, under the new re gime, tho counters have been com pelled to pay out of their monthly salary for the “shorts.” And where did the “overs” go? I don’t know, but tho Treasurer had to make good the money that disappeared. And why did not the counters protest? j Simply because Washington is not a free country, and these helpless wo men would rather have half their j salary purloined than to find on their j desk an official notification of dis charge. The man who has had charge of j the Redemption Division is named 1 Gurthrie, who, it is said, was former ly overseer in a penitentiary. It is, the talk among the clerks that this ! Gurthrie was the benefactor of the Treasurer, and that his genius and ass—iduous service extricated Mr. j New from the debt that it was his : duty to pay, and not take from the pittance of women. This Division hoped to have relief from Gurthrie, perhaps the lowest and most brutal ofhis sex, when Treasurer New re signed ; and they were notdisappoint ed. He was promoted to be chief of the cash division! An earnest pro test signed by the clerks of this Di vision was sent to Secretary Morrill praying him to rescind this appoint ment; but Gurthrie telegraphed to New, who hastened back to AVash ington, where is the influential Mor ton, and Gurthrie rode indecently into the office, over tho protests of the clerks, any one of whom is his superioras a man, or scholar, or gen tlernun. These little occurences may seem insignificant to a nation of 40,000,000, with a Centennial Exposition, and a Presidental election on hand, but the malady is ' portentious when we reflect that every department, every Custom House, every large postoffice, has the contagion which somebody lias called the best civil service on the plauot. This is the way offices are earned, and taken, and held ; and this is why the banners wave, the stumpers shriek, and the pigeon holes of Postoffloes groan with cam paign circulars. Anything to pro long the tenure of the party of prog ress and moral ideas, thut lias saved the nation so many times that it is bankrupt financially and in politi cal morality. C. A. 8. Mas.
