John Fahnhworth, of Illinois, one of the founders of tho Republi can party, who has come out.actively in the support of Tliden mid Hen dricks, has been nominated for Con gress from tlie Fourth Illinois Dis trict. Gen. Farnsworth lias been making some telling speeches in Illi nois during the campaign, and Is bringing lo the support of Titden and Hendricks many of his old associates. His departure from the Republican fold was a terrible blow to that party. The New York Herald, which is by no means helping the Democrats this year, says: “It. is undoubtedly true that the exhibition of the conspicu ous ‘bloody shirt’ in this campaign will lose many votes to the Republi can party. It ought to, and it will. There are sections of the country where this issue maybe brought up to alarm and excite ignorant voters; but take tho Northern States at large, nud the mass of Republican voters, who are in the main thoughtful and sensible men, and the ory of South ern outrages and of danger from the South or lathe South will lose the party more votes than it will gain,” Why Is It that, the solid 'South was ready to go for hard money Tliden or soft money Allen, aedording to the di rection of the Northern Democrats— earing only to place the Democratic party in power? We put, It ns a co nundrum. Co mmercial. Simply because tho intelligent nnd honest men of the Smith saw that, they could never have pence and prosperity at home, or good govern ment in the Union, while tho Radical party continued In power. The peo ple of the South want real “peace” recuperation now, and ns tho peace nnd recuperation which we now en joy is tho fruit of Radcal rule, we will endure either hard or soft money to get rid of it. - Let the people remember that the Inst Republican Congress appropria ed $148,155,121 for the expenses of Iho Government for the year oudlng tho 30th of June Inst; that when the present. Congress met, the several De partments sent estimates for $173,690, 228 for tho current year, but tho Dem ocratic House, notwithstaning tho op posit lou of the Republican Senate and President, succeeded in cutting down tho appropriations to $109,244,140 for the year. A saving of $30,000,000 from tho expenses of last year, and of $03,000,000 from the amount asked for by the Republican administration was thus effected by tho Democrats. A persistence in this retrench incut is the only thing that cap save the Gov ernment from bankruptcy and the people froln unbearable taxation. Is it Legal?—Wo see that. Republi can Congressmen nro franking through the mailsßreat. numbers of ltudical speeches marked on the en velopes “Part of Congressional Re cord.” Wo know that au act of Con gress permit* Congressmen to frank OIS* OOTgfehSToKai 'Record. Tint tr this act, may he construed to mean thiit they riui'fhtfik portions of the Record, containing only single speeches on one side of a question, that act ought to t>e repealed at once. The only thing Which justifies the grunting of the frankiug of tho Re cord to Congressmen is tho facility: it affords for sending to the people impartial reports of proceedings and debates in Congress, not electioneer ing excerps. Wo believe that tho Congressmen who are sending party speeches in this manner are violating the spirit, if not the letter of tho law. ,—. + . The Lagrange Reporter relates an incident which ought to put. to shame the designing politicians who try to make ih@, ne|n>! brieve thut tho white men of the South are* inimical to them. It ioparts that one day lust week, wnile two negro men were at work in a well south of Lagrange, they found the foul air unendurable, and one of them ascended, the other being unable to do so. There were a number of negroes around the mouth of the well, but for nearly an hour none of them would descend to tltefftljpfilko suffering roan, utv tir aft* iTrigh Douglass, of Meriwether, catnealong and offered, a reward of $5 to any ono who would go down with a rope around his body and make another fast to the man below, Mr. D. guaranteeing to draw him up safe., One mafi went a} o "' B on those terms, and fastened a rope to his suffocating brother, who was drawu up and with greutdiffleulty re stored. Mr. Douglass then paid the negro the promised $5, and went on his way. f HOW true lain ABN VUE THIIIEP we hate puhjHmi frtfwilhin ths Tueijwoday* showJfow the of; Indians inhabit. 100 ttie country adJuccnUto theßlauM Hills have boon forced to sign a treaty giving up their territory. They were told that their annuities would bo stopped, and they would be left to suffer and starve, unless tiiey agreed to this relinquishmentof their grounds. What mokes tho transac tion more unjust, is the- fact that a former treufy sc lemnly guaranteed to tho Indians tho perpetual possession of tiio territory from which they have thus been forced, and the unnu itities of the Governments, which they would have forfeited by remain ing, were contingent, not upon their leaving that country, but upon their remaining peacefully within it. Man-A fraid'of-ids-Horsts and one or two other Indian chiefs are reported to have told the Com missioners some very pointed and unpleasant truths about this matter, and to have reminded them in plain but unvarnished language of the “Great Father’s” violation of his pledges. Rut if the commissioners made any reply to these home truths, they were pretty much spell as Brennus made when ho cast his sword iuto the Roman scale., But Brennus was a barbarian, and there fore could set up an excuse which these Commissioners of the United States would be loth to set up for themselves, though, if they are to be weighed by their nets, the judgment of the civilised world may be that they are entitled to It. These savage tribes are to bo re moved to the small Indian Territory west of Arkansas. How will that af fect. the rights, interests and safety of the tribes already there by former eoercive acts of the Federal Govern ment? Hus the Government ever given that question a moment’s con sideration? We doubt it. And yet it is in good faith bouDd to protect tiio Creeks, Clroclaws,|Cherokees,&e., whom it hits already settled in this Indian Territory, from 'depredations, terror or moral detriment from asso ciation with powerful savage tribes | brought lrom tiio wild West. The I Indians long since settled by tho Government in that Territory have j made great advance in civilization j have legislatures periodically elected by the people, primary and appellate courts, written constitu tions, &c. They are agricultural people; have n written literature, newspapers, schools, &o. They must needs suffer frejm the forced settle ment among them of savage tribes, numbering many thousands, who have heretofore lived by Ihe chase and plunder alone. What distinction can t.heso reasonably be expected to make between lim cattle owned by the Creeks and Cherokees nnd the buffaloes roaming the plains, or be tween tlndr ponies and those which they have been accustomed to steal from other savage tribes Horn their youth up? The Government, in forcing the removal of the savage tribes to the Indian Territory, will violate its obli gations to both the wild and the civilized Indiana, and will commit a wrong unworthy of its standing among nations. And this great wrong will llnd no palliation in the fact that, it is committed to gratify the cupidity and satisfy tho demands of greedy adventurers in search of gold, whoso influence and votes may be lost by an honest adlterenco to treaty obligations and national honor. Ailiiiilii can*tltutln-Col. I’lnrke. Bays tiio Atlanta Coiistitution of Friday: “We have not thought it worth the while to notice the rumors that have gotton into circulation in relation to the proprietorship of the Constitution; but now that “Fulton” in the Augusta Chron'nie and Sentinel has stated tiio matter with consider able detail, naming the price, So., wo desire to say that no such sale lias taken place,” Now this contradiction places its in sucli a predicament that we don’t know whether to rejoice over Col. Clarke's continued connection with a profession which lie lias so well il lustrated, or to feel bad because of some deserved compliments which wo prematurely paid him the other day in noticing the report of his re tirement. If there is any one thing which utterly disgusts us iu journal ism, it is tho "I tickle you and you tickle me” practice of some editors; and we dread to incur the imputation of inviting or paving the way for such an interchange of compliments. In this instance we did not doubt Jhe reported severance of Col. Clarke’s connection with the press. But as what wo said was the expression of an honest conviction and sincere judgment, we stick to it. It was true, if it was “out of order.” An adventures? named Annie Lin coln, alias Minnie Dexter, who had swindled and blackmailed numbers of persons to the amount of thou sands of dollars, was arrested in New York on Friday.

Correspondence Augusta Constitutionalist.] Atlanta, Bept. 17,—Colquitt, nomi nated, theiiine Congressional prob lems adjusted, and most of the Leg islative (lght deMlefl/ ithe promi nent topic in State phtifics' just hoW is, ——- - Will) WIM. lIK TIIE NEXT HKNATOU? It is pretty well agreed that in the settlement of this problem, Mr. Nor wood, the present Incumbent, tho Hon. Ilenj. H. Hill, and Gov. James M. Smith, will be .principally con cerned. When we say that Mr. Hill has the most powerful mind and most bril liant address—that Gov. Brnlth has the most judgment and linest pow ers of organization, and that Mr. Norwood lias a certain well-bied per sistency and easy strategy, backed by both tiio others—than Mr. Hill goes into t.lio light with more dash and prestige—Governor Bmitli with tiio best election machinery, and Mr. Nor woof 1 with the advantages of ex perience nnd the right to ask for an endorsement—when we say these things, we have given in broad out lines tne race as it stands, and de tails alone nro needed to 1111 the pic ture. There is no doubt that Mr. Hill, at present writing, bus better chances than either of his compettiors. lam notone of those who believe, or pro pose to believe, that Mr. Hill will have a “walk over.” There is no living man that can “walk over” Governor Milt Smith In the State of Georgia. I simply mean that money forced into a pool right now might, be put on Mr. Hill with moro safety than anywhere else. In the first place, there is no denying that Mr. Hill’s Congressional career has been a grand success, viewed in the light simply of Ills future political ad vancement. Tho unanimous en dorsement of his district the other day proves this. The differeneo be tween tho stubborn, desperate and irregular light by whim he was first elected and tire clamorous acclaim with which lie was rushed through on the Oth show that his eervice in Congress has vastly increased his popularity in his district, which we may fairly predicate ns a snmple of the Btute at large. In the next place Mr. Hill lias al ready a pretty good squad of pro nounced supporters in the Legisla ture. Coweta county has “instructed” her members andßcnator to vote for Mr. Hill, so have Towns and Mor gan, the lutter in o series of particu larly handsome resolutions drawn and offered by Judge Augustus Reese. The members from Troup have open ly declared themselves for Mr. Hill, and it is said that the metnbers from Fulton, together with ono Senator, are certainly for him. In fact., his friends claim that, over forty nomi nees to the Legislature may already be counted certain for their favorite, the count, being- based,on tho most, reliable information. Whether or not this be true, the fact that several counties iu different sections of the •State have gone so far ns to “in struct” for Mr. Hill gives him a prestigo that will l>e valuable, if properly utilized. In the third place, Mr. Hill has a solid district at his back. His own district, the NintJj, with Its 28 votes, will give him nearly a unanimous vote. All the politicians up there will be anxious to get him out of the way. Besides this, he is really the olioice of most of the counties, if re peated popular votes can be relied on as tests. Bay what wo may, the Ninth District., wifi boa nucleus around which Mr. Hill may build with all safety in the coming race. It appears that Mr. Hill has the “bulge’on affairs at lust. Helms “prestige” with him now, just as for many long years it was against him. It, will help him now, just as the lack of itcrußbed him then. Just ns he was in the slough then, ho is riding a (lood-tide now. As he was unpopular then, he is a sort of public idol now. A BOUGH AND DOUBTFUL EIGHT AHEAD. With these advantages resting with Mr. Hill, however, ho will not find the victory an easy one. The race is anybody’s race, yfet Gov. Smith is strong enough and'siirewd enough to make tho struggle a terrible one, nnd the Issue doubtful. One advantage that the Governor will have in the race is the careful sagacity nud wise organizing power that, ho -will bring into the light. Mr. Hill will rely wholly upon the effect of his brilliant speeches and his splendid ability. Ho will be careless, haughty, indif ferent,. In all the wise little matters of the campaign ho will be wholly, if not designedly, a perfect child. He will not even try to dovetail the con tingencies into each other, or to fash ion victory out, of chance. On tho other hand Governor Smith will improve every opportunity. He will doctor every doubted point, and make the very most of his strength. He is backed by some of the most tireless and successful workers that, wo have, and they will make the champion a notable ono, oven if they do not crown their favorite. One ar gument that they are usiug already is this: “You will acknowledge” they say “that it will be a go6d idea to have Governor Smith and Mr. Hill both in the Federal Congress. It is immaterial in which House, so they are there, Now, Mr. Hill is already in tho lower Houso; elect Governor Smith to the upper House and we will have our two strong men there. Defeat Gov. Smith, and you will have Mr. Hill in the Senate, but a weak or second rate man will take his place in the Lower House.” In ad dition to this, they argue that Mr. Hill,twill, nfter a manner, deceive his people, if after seeking and obtain ing a unanimous nomination to Con gress, lie. allows his ambition to lead him to defeat, this trust (self sought. though it was) accept another office and force another election on tile people of his District. They then recall the time when Gov. Smith who had jnst been elected Governor, docliued to desert the post to which tiio people had called him, and run for tho Senate, although tho dead lock between Stephens, Gordon and Hill, gave him A PRETTY CHANCE TO CAPTURE THE LAU RELS. With these and a hundred other agents Gov. Smith’s friends are al ready in tho field. They will not lack for plausible reasons. When to their earnest and persistent argu ments we add the spiendld character of Gov. Smith, his superb record as Governor, his rare common sense, his uncommon ability- in short, the indisputable fact that he will make a really creditable Senator, it will be seen that he has a strong chance of success. Let me say to you that Gov. Smith is just now developing a plat form, ns it were, on which this fight may be made, that will make him extremely popular. It is a line of action that the people of Georgia have long been partial to, and that has come to naught butsoft yearnings and repiuing so far, simply for the lack of a straps .masterly band like Smith’s to make it tangible and shapely. He will, of course, aot use the grand project simply as the sherne of u campaign. He will go into it in earnest for love of the State, nnd in honest pride for his own rep utation. fPho peopltfaiid liiHfriends will tit&iMy cause it# icuiSto his llllllll’diafc I >•-11 €-1 i t Tl" lintM’l' !ll the programme will; be thoAputtiug in of ais|lne of steamships between Savannah and Liverpool, which will guarantee to land in the former port 3.000 German immigrants per month. The programme will extend beyond this beginning, but even this Is hnougb to show that it will be more effective in a campaign, than all the speeulies that Mr. Hill or any other man could make. I do not think Mr. Norwood will be returned. Mr. Hill or Gov. Smith either would beat him. In my opinion, wore there only two in the field. Still, Mr. Norwood is not to be despised ns a candidate. He is a man of moderate resources it Is true, but they are wall husbanded. He is a brilliant cssuyist and a growing statesman, a true,steady, irreproach able gentleman, and with the general vote divided between Mr. Hill and Governor Smith, he will be an ex tremely important element. He may confer the crown if ho cannot wear it. He niay bo Warwick if not. King. It is almost certain as the race is now constituted that the balloting will be prolonged indefinitely. Mr. Hill can hardly hope to get a major ity of votes over both his opponents. I should say that there would be 212 votes cast. One hundred nnd eight will ha pretty apt to elect. Of these Mr. Hiii will get say 85 votes. Gov. Smith BOand Norwood 50, with a few scattering. How long would it take Mr. Hill to win tho necessary 24 votes? Would the prestigo of his great fame bring them to him at once, or would his opponents be able to hold their forces? Would they be able to put the election off from day to day, and give political sagac ity time to work? Can the dead lock be continued until all "the dark horses” shall be swung around the track? These are questions that tho future alone can answer. If Mr. Hill can nurse the enthusiasm that now pre vails in his favoruntil January—aud ns subtly thing as it is, Gov. Smith could do it-he will win without trouble. If it Is checked, either through his own carelessness or by the shrewder work of his opponents, he will have trouble. If I had to bet right now. I should unhesitatingly bet on Hill. But I should greatly prefer not being forced to risk any ducats on this race, for at least one month from date. 11. W. G. IIAYERLY MINSTRELS.
