A Xrutu Well PuV;.;-.\ An exchange remarks that ''whenever Ihe country is more than williag to give the Democrat* coitfpletc control of the iTovefnment. they sacrifice^ve^thingby personal and factional s^uabbies;'.^ We regret that the above is. true.... No-long er than a week or tvfo ago, the AT?tr* and Count* intimated that unless the free -trade wing of the p&ty controlled the National Conveutfoi?jy putting in their "tariff for revenue^only'Vj^lahk; there would be a b?ft"from fiie Democrat ic party in 1884 sufficient to defeat its nominees. This is altogether wrong. The minority must submit to the major ity, or our party organization is worth jess. While we firmly mid conscienti ously believe that the best policy for the Democratic party to. pursue in the next Presidential campaign is lo hold the tariff question io abeyance until after the election and make the fight upon the issue of civil service reform, we shall not bolt if the tarill is made the issue. We want to see a Democrat in the White House, and beside this all other desires jade into insignificance. We are willing to subordinate all of our views to this One grand and glorious result. We-waut to see the tariff reformed. Tite success of the Democracy will reform.it. We want the Government purified. :The success of the Democracy will purify it. Why then should there be any bolt from either wing? Let us choose the beat Is sue, concentrate oar forces, and rout the enemy, and theu the needed reforms can suctfcsaftuiy carried out. Let us hear ho more about bolting? but let us give the people an honest government by electing the Democratic Candida ies in }884. This Is where we stand. ' P^no Xo Govoriirucut. Telegraph for Us. A report comes nVm Washington that a bill will be introduced in the nexl Con gress authorizing the Government to is sue $100,000,000 of twenty year three per cent, bonds to purchase the telegraph plants of the country. This will be only another turn in the sorcw of centralisa tion by which the-jjbcrties.of the people Ci^^en^jjaifBt'iy- but effectually stolen fromMhem by the Republican party, but, . as the next House, is Democratic, we hope the scheme will be nipped in the bud, Iff h ii movement is successful, the i>\\t step-will l>e to gobble-the railroads^ and possibly 'fife newspapers, and then where arc the1 liberties of the people. /--With the mails, the telegraph and the railroad8 in' the. hands of the Govern ment, we would be completely in the power of a set of unscrupulous and de signing politicians who may chance to be fn authority.- Those of us who know the uses to which the posiofnee aud revenue departments of the Government ip the South have been put during the last twenty years by the Radical party ' can't look with any degree of serenity upon the proposition to put the tele graph Hhe3 of the. country under their control, to be prostituted for political purposes. The telegraph companies are huge corporations, wielding immense >litical and financial power, but they are lore tolerabl^and less dangerous to the institutions of the country than a political telegraph monopoly manipulat ed by the Radical politicians would be. We, therefore, trust that the Democrats in Congress will promptly squelch this pet scheme of the Radicals. The Immigrant Question. i Considering tho great advantages of < \he South in good soil, mild climate, large resources, and fair educational facilities, it is a matter of surprise lo many that we arc favored with so small a sprinkling of foreign immigration. To our mind, the reasons are not far to find. In the first place, mauy of our farmers prefer to make out with inferior labor than to pay stood prices for better work. Then again, the white immigrants want more comfortable houses, better fare and [ social comforts which many arc slow in giving. But, still more, foreign immi grants, in the face of these facts, arc no disposed to compote against negro labor. We must improve in these respects if we wish to soe tho tide of immigration set ting in Southward, which is far mors im portant, both iu the political and agricul tural espect, than, many seem to have any conception of. D' the people of the South would awake to their true inter ests in this matter, and have agents in Europe to bring the immigrants directly to Southern ports, we would get a better class of people, and the future prospects of our section would be very much improved. The Cotton Thx. The cotton tax levied by the United States government many years a^o by which millions of dollars were unjustly wrenched from the Southern States, has been declared by the Supreme Court to be unconstitutional, and yet not one dol lar of the stolen money h.is been restor ed. The portion 3tolen from South Carolina alone was $4,172,420. The South arks no favors. All she wants is t the verdict of the Court should be ?.yed and the money restored that was taken ?Vay. If this simple act of justice ja done, slie will put herself on her feet with her own money. m A Prosperous Farmer Dead. Mr. Farish C. Furnian, the successful farmer cf JGeorgia, whose wonderful achievements in intensive farming have been pnhfiahed all oyerine UnltedStates, died suddenly at his home on last Friday ^nighi.

Gen. Edward MeCnidy has written a letter to Senator, Butler making some Valuable suggestions on the subject of public roads. He thinks 'that our people make a mistake In trying to build mils roads which they cannot afford and1 which are only mads to'be gobbled up by capitalists. He shows by statistics of New England and the .Western States ihAt no railroad can be operated with profit in a section with lessthan S5? in? habitants U* a tntte of road. In South Carolina statistics show that instead of 830 to.the mile wo have scarcely 553?

ERMINGER of the firm of Erminger & Goldsmith, large Candy manufacturers Atlanta Ga., cheerfully and gratefully gives us the following wonderful facts: "I reached Westminister August the 19th? that night 1 was seized with a violent attack of Cholera Morbus.1 Fifteen actions on the bowels occurred in less than four hours. The pains kept on increasing and the actions on my bowels were more fre 3uent. The usual remedies, Paregoric, araaica Ginger, &c, were promptly, vigor ously and persistently used, but without avail. The symptoms were growing worse and these remedies were more than useless. Bv a lucky and happy thought NORMAN'S NEU TRALIZING CORDIAL was procur ed and one dose, in a few minutes, brought marked relief and four or five more effected a complete cure. Before 1 began the use of this medicine, I was In the greatest agony, my bowels unchecked, and I was so com pletely exhaused as scarcely to be able to speak: above a whisper. Tne relief was so sudden and so complete, that I could hardly realize it, and I knew no bounds to the ex pression of my gratitude, for the remedy that saved me from impending death I now feel, I am doing a service to my fellow men in letting them know its merits that they also may have its aid in time of their danger.
