The Toocoa Herald speaks of the
Atlanta Cotton Factory ns “the
grandest enterprise ever inaugurated
in our State.” Wlmt would that
editor think if he wore to see in Co
lumbus three cotton factories, each
more extensive than that of Atlanta,
standing side by side, and nil owned
by one Georgia company?
A dispatch reports “the represen
tative of the Spanish Government”
at Hew York fwhat is his official po
sition?) says that Spain will not de
liver up Tweed ; that he was not arres
ted on any complaint from this coun
try, hut because he was traveling un
der an assumed name in violation of
Spanish law; thatit would be useless
to ask for his extradition in the ah
sence of a treaty of that kind.
The Charleston Neu's, alluding to
the fact that in Charleston only one
of the negro rioters out of hundreds i
were arrested, and to the later:
troubles in its State, says: “South
Carolina is returning fast to that
primitive condition in which each
group of citizens organize for their
own protection. Anil protect them
selves they will. Only by uprooting
the Radical party con the State have
peace!”
A mash convention of Union sol
diers and sailors, who desire a reform
. In the Government, Is called to meet
at Albany, N. Y., on the 19th of Oc
tober. The call is signed by Mnjor
Gen. Hooker and several other Union
officers, and it declares: “The en
rollment already made at these
headquarters shows conclusively
that a majority of Udlou soldiers and
sailors are not in favor of the per
petuation ofGrantism in the election
of Hayes and Wheeler, as stated by
Gen. Dix and other Republican lead
ers, but in favor of reform and the
election of Samuel J. Tilden for the
Presidency.”
Tennessee. The canvass in Ten
nessee is quite antimated, and is a
three-sided affair. The Gubernato
rial election will hardly be a strict
drawing of party lines, but we can
not doubt the re-election of Gov. Por
ter, Democratic nominee, by a hand
some majority. He is opixwed by
Dorsey B. Thomas, independent,who
will get some Democratic votes, but
we hope not more than the negro
Radical vote which Yardley, the In
dependent colored candidate, will
draw off from Thomas, The Mem
phis Avalanche, which favors Thom
as, says that he will get a majority
in nearly every county of West Ten
nessee, but we suppose that this is in
great part “whistling to keep up
courage.” If the negroes generally
vote for Yardley, Thomas cannot
possibly get ns many Demoomtic
votes as he will lose of the Republi
cans, though the white Radicals sup
port him.
We clip the following from Thurs
day’s dispatches of the American
Press Association. It corresponds
with other accounts from Indiana.
The proposition that every office
holder from Indiana at Washington
should be sent home, not only to
vote, but “in time to work” (and
what with ?) is rather audacious, in
view of the fact that the Radicals in
Congress so lately opposed the re
duction of the number of officials at
Washington on the ground that the
necessities of the “public service”
would not allow any diminution of
their force:
A prominent Indiana Republican,
lately holding a high Government
position, writes to a friend in this
city that Indiana is in great danger
of being captured by the Democrats
at the comiDg October election. He
says he has not yet given no all hopes,
but nothing but the hardest kind of
work on the j>art of the Republicans
can prevent the State firom going
Democratic, and even then the case
is doubtful. He earnestly advocates
the sending from all the Government
Departments in this city every Indi
ana Republican voter, not only to
vote, but to come in time to work in
and around his voting precinct, for
his party.
—Albany New* : Oil Monday night last.
Col. R. I). Mender, Assistant Superintend
ent of the Brunswick A Albany Railroad,
and Mr. W. H. Simmons, Express Messen
ger, arrived in Albany, from Brunswick,
both feeling quite unwell. On Tuesday
they were visited by physicians, who, after
making a thorough examination of the
eases, pronounced it a very mild type of
yellow fever. At this writing, however,
some of the physicians pronounce it bil
ious or intermittent fever. The patients
are getting on extremely welt, and the
probability is that both will be weli in a
day or two.

(MttNT’N BAM AMNMfATKM.
It has been the unlucky fortune or
the perverse intention of I’reaMent
Grant to take into bis coßfldenec and
favor the Very worst men of thb Rad
ical party of the South, always re
pelling and proscribing those South
ern Republicans who tried to make
their party respectable or honest. In
Louisiana betook up Kellogg, boost
ing him up by Federal bayonets and
thus forcing him on a i>eople, a ma
jority of whom had voted against
him, and In opposition to the wishes
of the best Republicans in the State.
In Mississippi he stood by Ames to
the last, though nearly every decent
Republican in the State had deserted
him before ills Right. In Alabama,
Spenoer, denounced and disowned by
all the best of the Republicans, is
still in high fuvor witli Gen. Grant,
who gives him full control of the
Federal patronage of the State.
Only once has the President man
ifested a disposition to sustain
un honest, conservative portion of
the Radical party of the South, and
that was two years ago, when he ap
peared to favor the election of Cham
berlain in South Carolina. But
Chamberlain lias since turned out
as bad as Grant could wish him, and
we are thus left in doubt whether the
President’s good will for him in 1874
was due to his sagacity, or to a real
desire to improve the political con
dition of South Carolina. Certainly
Chamberlain’s opponent could not
have done less in the way of reform,
uud could not liuve been more imbe
cile or perverse, than Chamberlain
is.
In Georgia, it appears, J. E. Bry
ant is uow the controller of Federal
patronage, and of course stands
highest in Grant’s esteem. It is
stated that lie was the man whose
lnliueuco settled the difficulty about
the appointment of Fannin as Inter
nal Roveuue Collector, and McLaws
as Postmaster at Savannah. And
what is the stauding of Bryant
among the butter portion of his own
party iu Georgia ? It is disclosed in
a letter just published by Ex-Gov.
Conley, in which he charges Bryant
witii having sold his vote, while a
member of the Legislature, to the
friends of the Brunswick & Albany
Railroad. Conley says that Bryant,
dare not deny the charge, and that if
he does, the proofs will be produced
in the shape of the notes and drafts
given in consideration of his votes,
with Bryant’s letters aekowledgiug
their receipt. Bryant is the Chair
man of the Republican Executive
Committee of Georgia, and Conley is
as zealous a Republican us there is
in the State, but has always had the
reputation of a honest one.
TheselSouthern associates and fa
vorites of Gen. Grant,in connection
with those of Babcock, Belknap,
Shepherd and others of the North,
suffice to show by what bad influ
ences his administration lias been
controlled, and the necessity of get
ting rid of all such “powers behind
the throne.” But will tire election
of Hayes to the Presidency free the
country of this abomination? That
is a momentous question for the peo
ple to consider.
ATI.ANTA
The Constitution of the 21st publish
es its review of the trade of Atlanta
for the year which closed on the
31st of August; also statistics of the
trade, population, &c., of most of the
towns of Northern and Middle Geor
gia. This is contained in an en
larged sheet, well gotten up.
The total valqp of the trade and in
dustry of Atlanta is put down at $31,-
437,322, of which amount its dry
goods trade constituted $8,125,000,
and its grocery trade $7,717,500.
During the year 60,150 bales of cot
ton were received, valued at #3,076,-
672.
The Comtitulkm says in its sum
mary : “In the ligitt. of these fuets,
Atlanta lias cause to feel satisfied.
Her trade has suffered a decrease
during the season of $3,876,720 05 out
of an aggregate of nearly $35,000,000
annually, showing a per cent, which
bespeaks the wonderful stability of
this favored inland metropolis. Our
mercantile men are live, energetic,
prudent and progressive, and are
rapidly extending the area of their
custom until large portions of adja
cent States Rnd here their best mar
ket. Sevoral disasters have, within
the year, overtaken firms in our city,
aggregating losses up to at least $3,-
000,000 of the decrease above stated.
The balance of less than a million
dollars, therefore, represents the ex
tent of genuine shrinkage in our
trade for the year.
The disasters referred to were such
as might hot have been avoided.
Hence, so far as our commercial in
terests are concerned, they will con
tinue to astonish and excite the ad
miration of this section of the Union.
In the matter of fixed wealth the
record of the year allows actual prog
ress. Taxable property has largely
increased, although the ratable val
ues have been largely reduced in
obedience to hard times. Necessary
aud prompt paying enterprises have
had full encouragement, and Atlauta
will shine out in the tables of the na
tion's commerce as among the best
examples of what pluck, vim, go
ahead ativenessaud a confident com
munity can do to stem the adverse
currents, reverse the ordinary pre
dictions of political economists and
exhibit to the world the achievements
of those who have lived up to their
motto “‘never say fail!”

m
Mr. ftorcriMi 1 Crooked Figure**.
From the Atlanta Constitution.)
Whether from ignorance of the
Tacts or from that crookedness whioh
springs from extreme partisanship or
from a mixture of both, or from other
causes, Mr. Norcross missed the truth
in almost every part of his late speech
at Macon. We propose to expose
some of his misstatements without
waste of words. Facts and figures of
record cannot be successfully put
aside, and to these we appeal. We
would not answer the wild figures
that Mr. Norcross produced, were
they not calculated, unless contra
dicted, to injure abroad the credit
and fair fame of the State. There is
scarcely one of our own citizens who
does not know that his statements
are erroneous, but not so in other
States. To refute his statements, one
by one, would be an unnecessary
waste of space. Let us, therefore,
give the facts concerning ihe creation
of our State indebtedness, iu the
shortest possible manner.
When the Republicans came into
nowerin 1868 the State debt was $5,000-
490, Gov. Bullock in the three
following years added, so far as he
and his associates could add, $5,784,-
(XX) in straight bonds, and 7,283,(XX) in
endorsed railroad bonds—making al
together in three years of Republican
rule, $13,067,000. A good share of this
enormous sum was illegally issued,
but we do not see as that fact is any
credit to the Bullock crowd that Mr.
Norcross has the cheek to defend be
fore people whom they tried to plun
der. That tßere may be no mistake
about this matter we give in detail a
list of the bonds issuedby Bullock:
Min-ttfNlo-JX- *(114,000
Gold quarter Hos 2,2000,000
Gold Bomi-auuuftl bonds 1,8000,000
Mortgage 7s 970,0000
Kadorsed B. & A. K. li. bouds 3.3000,000
Endowed M. k B. K. 11. Guilds 1, 50, 000
Endorsed If. & B. K. li. bonds 0000.000
Endorsed B. AO. B. 11. bonds 8000,000
Endorsed 0. A Van Wert It. R. bonds. 250, IKK)
Endorsed Cherokee li. It. bond*. 300, 000
Endorsed 80. Ga. k Fla. 11. U. bonds.. 404, 000
Endorsed Ala. A Chat. R. R. bonds 104, 000
Total In three years $13,087,000
Now let us see what the record in
the bond line of Governor Smith’s
five years is:
Bonds to pay due aud maturing debt...# 370.500
** *• t* 4 M ... 1 206 000
Interest on M. A B. bonds 542.000
Enuarsed N. A 8. It. R. bonds 240.000
•* Memphis Branch bonds 34,000
“ Total in ttvo years $1,328,500
In other words, three years of Re
publican rule loaded the State down
with $13,067,000 of funded debt
some valid aud some not—none of
which probably went to pay oft past
due or maturing debt; while live
years of Democratic rule have added
only $274,000 in new debt, and the
liability for oven that sum was crea
ated by a Bullock Legislature.
Bullock left the credit of the State
so low, so near bankruptcy in fact,
that bonds bearing seven percent in
terest could scarcely be sold at. all.
A loan of that nature had to be with
drawn, and an issue of non-taxable
eights placed on the market. This
year Treasurer Renfroe had no diffi
culty placing $542,000 of taxable
sevens at a handsome premium. Ho
received bids for double the amount
that he needed, and is receiving let
ters daily from parties who wish to
buy portions of the new sevens.
These bonds are worth between 104
and 105 to-day. These are the bonds
that Mr. Norcross says were issued
to meet “the current expenses of the
government.” They were issued to
pay past due interest on a lot of en
dorsed Macon & Brunswick bonds
that were chiefly put out bv Bullock.
The chronic inaccuracy of Mr. Nor
cross’ figures is also shown in the
statement that Treasurer Jones’ ac
counts show a deficit of $880,332. Mr.
Norcross should be ashamed of this
statement. He enu easily ascertain
that the total deficit named in the
Auditor’s report is about $290,000.
This amount is reduced by “doubt
ful” vouchers to a cash loss of about
$76,000. The whole matter is in the
courts and will be thoroughly sifted.
In no event can the loss of the State
exceed the figures we have given.
Mr. Norcrcss could and should put
himself in possession of an occasional
fact.
One other matter, and wo will let
Mr. Norcross’crazy figures and state
ments slide. He accuses Democratic
Legislatures of extravagance. Let
us see how the accounts of legislative
expenses stand:
Republican Democratic.
1868 $159,261 1871 $101,239
1370 526,89111873 97.520
1874 104.744
1*75 112,467
1376 111,200
$972,945 $699,424
The three most expensive Demo
cratic Legislatures only cost the
State $327,412, and the three years of
Radical legislation cost $972,946.
And what a fine lot of laws they gave
us at that price.
- The authorities of Brunswick are ap
pealing for aid from other places, there be
ing many destitute people there, and the
care of the sick requiring much unusual
expense.

The Shadow of an Ass.—The
Greeks had a proverb which ran thus:
“To dispute on the shadow of an
ass.” It took rise from an anecdote
which Demosthenes is said to have
related to the Athenians, to excite
their attention during his defence of
a criminal, whioh was being but in
attentively listened to. “A traveler,”
he said, "once went from Athens to
Megara on a hired ass. It happened
to be the time of the dog days, and
at noon. He was much exposed to
the unmitigated heat of the sun; and
not finding so much as a bush under
which to take shelter, ho bethought
himself to descend from the ass and
seat hirnsett under its shadow. The
owner of the ass objected to this, de
claring to him that when he let the
animal, the use of the shadow was
not Included in the bargain. The
dispute at last grew so warm that it
got to blows, and finally gave rise to
an action at law.”
* After having said so much, Demos
thenes continued the defence of his
client; but the auditors, whose curi
osity he had piqued, were extremely
anxious to know how the judges de
cided on so singular a cause. Upon
this, the orator commented severe
ly on their childish injustice, in de
vouring with attention apaltry story
about an ass’ shadow, while they
turned a deaf ear to a cause in which
the life of a human being was in
volved.
From that day, when a man showed
a preference for discussing small and
contemptible subjects to great and
important ones, ho was said “to dis
pute on the shadow of an ass.”
