"^Tuxxp'M food for much thought in astonishing figures, and perhaps no more important question presents itself to iba statesman of to-day than, the solu on of this immigration problem. Nearly thirty-three thousand immigrants land in our ports of this country during a le month. If they are sober, indus us and honest citizens, what an acqui tion they are to the wealth and energy fgrwt country; but on the other band, they are indolent, vicious and depraved, ^rhat an amount of evil to onr institu? tions, hnd what a drain upon our re? sources have been dumped from the scum S^l^of /Europe upon onr shores. If we could fci^-'T--:-'ifetect'?nt the good and return the evil p^^ortaon of thisjrat'thr?ng, it would be n&ome an unmixed blessing. There is ~ ndant room in America for all of tbe honeet brain and muscle of Europe that the more genial and profitable pur jf?tof'iany?f thevarious avocations of ^Inonr midst, but we now have as loitfers and idlers, as many social anarchists, as many thieves and pickpockets, as many murderers and as ?ns; ?s many drunkards and drunkard nafcere in this fair land as are compatible ith 'the highest interests of bur free ?vj?rjiment. We would welcome to our ^orcis every honest, , industrious and settler, whether he is learned or jmleirneid^rich or poor, cultivated or l^ni^knred in:so<a*al;life. We are glad to -~\ ftostf?fihffaential position/and those io~ai'e driyen from their homes abroad ;ihe;' oppresaibn^ 6f despotic govern** t?tgj come here to shelter beneath the e protection of our equal laws if 'they .borne ?s' honest men, to better their con ids^ % honMtr^'me?iods.

It is time to discriminate?to call a halt. We should so amend onr immigration laws as to exclude the 7worthless, the vicious, the criminal and r.': \ the pauper classes of all foreign lands from onr shores. We are not selfish i**^ enough to wish to- limit the glories of America for Americans-only, but we wbold limit the privilege of residence Y >bere--to Americans, and honest settlers only from abroad. M.:--:' $ii ;? A pretty little fight is brewing among the Georgia politicians over the tariff . issues, which is to culminate in the Sen K^.??iorial Election, where Senator Colquitt j^&xiis to be opposed because he does not T;. favor tbe repeal of the Internal Revenue i.- -. tax upon whiskey and tobacco. It is V - .. stated that Gen. Henry B. Jackson is to }0. be Senator Oblquitfs opponent, I and :among the reasons assigned for his selec> tfpn is hxs friendship with Senator W; 7 Brown, and the fact that there ia a sym W. . rpathy for him because hie was turned out ^ *as Minister to Mexico by Secretary Bay '^^?^^"jair^s-"-" ^lie Atlanta Constitution serves r : ^notice on fifena'tbr Colqbit that he must . fcliange his vi?ws, or incur the opposition -?f thafi paper in the following editorial ?;';'V*i?rticlej^ r": ^{'Senator Cblquittj it is nirderatood, is -: ^7ppOMdda;a repeal of the Internal Eev c;' enue laws and this, in our opinion, will V:--.-'- ''to- the.;milistone around hia neck. He ^vYvwaV'v'eryi ciuch opposed to the tariff ' i fa- 'the platform, adopted at Chi ,^*rid*Iso toOleteland's nomination. ifcjbfat an Jtrdent supporter, of both, y^lL thinka-tho Internal Revenue law S^oTto< M repealed. We put the .tor'upon notice that it will take a marr:to inartf Georgians swallow SP!atr*# propose to'carry'*-'free lance in this fight, but want it under? stood that we are opposed to any man who favors the whiskey monopoly; who is not in favor of cutting down the im? mense surplus by getting rid of the unjust taxes'paid by Southern products; who is not in favor of the repeal of the infamous law that protects national banks by levying a tax of 10 per cent on currency, and who does not favor a repeal of all laws that make a discrimi? nation against real estate as a basis for loans of money. Senator Colquitt has .been in tne Senate nearly six years, and if he has advocated any bill on this line it has. escaped our observation. The next Senator'elected from Georgia will have to be on the line which we have thus briefly indicated." The Internal Revenue tax on tobacco ought, in our judgment, to be repealed, because it is a tax directly on agricultural products, and also a tax which discrimi? nates against the section of the country in which this is a staple crop. A tax on rice, corn, cotton or any other staple would be as justifiable as that on tobacco, but the tax on whiskey rests on a differ? ent footing. It is a manufactured article which is used in a manner injurious to the public welfare. It is not a necessary article, except to an inappreciably small extent, and hence there is no strong rea? son why this tax should be repealed. It will hurt the country less than the tax on hundreds of other articles. Senator Colquitt is, we think, right in opposing the repeal of the tax on whiskey. We do not understand that Senator Colquitt opposes all amendment to the revenue laws, but suppose be would favor a repeal of the ten per cent, tax on State banking circulation. We presume that most Southern Representatives favor this. The revenues of the Government ought to be collected so as to bear as lightly as possible, and as equally as possible upon all of onr citizens. For this reason we would favor absolute free trade, with an apportionment of the amount necessary to. defray the expenses of the Govern? ment among the several States in propor? tion to their wealth. This would be absolutely fair, and would secure equali? ty. As it is now, the laboring man and the man of small means pays largely more than his share of the taxes. He pays it on his clothes, a part of his food, on his implements for work, on a part of the materials that compose his dwelling, and "In hundreds of other ways. He not only is called on to pay more than his share of the taxes by imports, bnt he has to contribute immense bounties, as it were, to the manufacturing interests of our country; The system of assessments upon the States would ensure economical and honest Government, for every man would see by that means just what the national tax amounts to. Now, he knows nothing about. It would also forever end the question of a surplus revenue, for Congress would not dare to levy any considerable sum above the necessities of the Government. This would be the fairest and most economi? cal way of collecting the revenue, but we all recognize the fact that it cannot be so collected at this time. An income tax would be an improvement on the present plan, and the next best thing will be to collect only the amount actually neces? sary, and levy the duties upon such arti? cles as will least affect the consuming and laboring classes, and at the same time so as to give protection incidentally to Buch American industries as stand in need of it. By this means the tariff will be reduced to a minimnm of evil. The Democratic party in Congress will this winter .probably remodel the tariff, and Senator; Colquitt will doubtless vote in the way that his judgment leads him to believe will be best for the whole people. After this session of Congress it may be that Gen. Jackson will find Senator Col? quitt too strong To oust, and look for pre? ferment in other directions. We do not believe that free whiskey can elect any man to the Senate from Georgia. Me. Editoe : The announcement is frequently made in advertising lands for sale, that ?- acres are in a high, state of cultivation, when in reality the yield averages about eleven.bushels of corn or I six bushels of wheat, twelve bushels of oats or six hundred bushels of seed cot? ton per acre?high estimate. These lands, under proper treatment, are sus? ceptible of producing forty bushels of corn or wheat, one hundred bushels of oats or two thousand five hundfed pounds of seed cotton per acre; then what is the reason that farming don't pay? is it the fault of the land or does the fault lie some where else? Your correspondent has no desire to be egotistical, but will give a simple statement of facts. A field cleared, rails split and fence put up by hired labor, has had four crops, two of corn, two in wheat; these four crops have paid all expenses of clearing, fencing, preparing, planting, including seed, gathering and housing said crops, and left a profit inclusive of fifty-seven dol? lars per acre, and now has the fifth crop good for twenty-eight bushels of corn and five bushels of peas per acre, and this without any artificial manuring, but it has been cultivated. The plan is to break deep and close, don't turn. The Architect understood his business and made the earth right side up, and com? manded man to cultivate it. Then after thorough preparation plant and work, rapidly, smoothly; sow one pint of peas per acre at last plowing, if land be fair, double that amount, if the land be very thin, leave all the haulm and stubble on land, it will keep it from washing and the good effects will Boon be observable. If the above amount has been made without manuring, it will not be difficult by proper application of fertilizing com? post to bring land up to the maximum yield above set forth. In the mean time, let us scout the idea that cotton is king. I am not nnder his control, and therefore can state that observation has Bbown that his horses sometimes look quite rough and emaciated, which indicates a lack of corn and forage, while his devotees are sad, lean and rather cheerless, suggesting the scarcity of bread and bacon within the realm. We would modestly insinu? ate that it would be well for said king to be a little lenient in bis exactions of the tythes, though it might not make his cash bags heavier, at first; yet it would soon develop the resources of the realm to the extent of giving more cheer and contentment, as well as greater prosper? ity and independence to those who are now his devotees, and the cry of farming don't pay would cease to be heard; the well raised young men of the county would also abandon the idea of constantly seeking positions within the already over crowded trades and professions, and would apply themselves more zealously to the farm and stock-raising interests, and much good to the country would be I the speedy result. SlX-AND-TWENTY. The estimated reduction of the public debt for the month of September ? $16,500,000. WASHINGTON LETTER. Washington, D. C, Oct. 3,1387. Mr. Oberly, of the Civil Service Com? mission, has started a first-class sensation in political circles by his recent pub lished letter replying to an invitation to address the Illinois Democratic Associa? tion in this city, in which he declares that all such organizations are contrary to the spirit and letter of the civil service law. It is well known that a large num? ber of these clubs exist in Washington, composed separately of the government employes from the different States re Biding here, and it is equally well known, though not publicly declared, that their purposes are to advance the interests of the party to which they belong. It follows without argument tbat these clubs would seek party advancement, if not by practical public effort, at least by advice and consolation in secret, tbongh not less effective ways; and to divest them of their political character would be to defeat the very purpose of their organization. It is the prime motive of their existence, and a most reasonable and commendable one. Hence it follows that the latest invective of Commissioner Oberly, hurled against all auch organiza? tions in general, and Democratic organi? zations in particular, should awaken a tornado of indignation at what is termed an unwarranted and strained construc? tion of the law, an officious and meddle? some interference, and as "insulting and scandalous." Several of these associa? tions have taken official cognizance of the letter in resolutions sharply con? demning the act of the Commissioner, and. with a degree of temerity quite heroic, in uttering their defiance of his anathema. Mr. Oberly sustains himself by quoting the law, which he says, while not to blame for its creation, he is respon? sible for its enforcement; and, while avowing his nncompromising democracy, he intends to obey the law and see that others do so, regardless of consequences. The enforced obedience to the law, on the basis of Mr. Oberly's interpretation of it, would fall heavily on the democra? cy since theso State associations always furnish substantial assistance to their party. But it is altogether probable the t they will continue their pleasant, and, from a political standpoint, very useful existence. They are composed of gov? ernment officers of high and low degree, and it would be folly to try to disband them. They will live and thrive, and, despite laws and excommunications, will continue to give aid and comfort to their party. The prospect of a revision of the tariff during the coming session, of Congress, is becoming a settled conviction, and is recognized as one of the certainties of the Fiftieth Congress. It is admitted on all sides, not only from a standpoint of pnblic necessity, but from political ex? pediency, that the tariff should have an overhauling in the direction of a reduc? tion of taxation, and in the removal, from the shoulders of the people, of useless and unjust burdens. The Demo? crats having a majority in the House, wisely foresee the political advantages that will attach to the passage of the measure, and wisely determine tbat this winter shall see great reductions in the internal taxes. To accomplish these re? sults so "devoutly to be wished," perfect accord with the party must give place to the present want of harmony between the factions. Will they harmonize, is the question of greatest anxiety, and the question to which Democratic place makers are devoting their good offices. Mr. Randall is still the doubtful element, the greatest source of danger, and unless such concessions are made as will secure his support, and the support of his followers, the result of the contest can? not be predicted with any degree of cer? tainty. Democratic protectionists, of whom Mr. Bandall is the leader, express the opinion that a revision of the tariff must come, and that the whole party will unite in the common cause of tariff reform. This would indicate the disposi? tion among them to support the Carlisle wing which they so stoutly antagonized in the last Congress. The President started on his western trip on Friday, and it is evident so far, from its success in meeting only the most favorable auspices, that Mr. Cleveland's proverbial good luck will disprove the popular superstition tbat Friday is a day of evil happenings. The President has developed much ability as a speech maker, his latest efforts being admirable specimens of dignified thought and chaste expression. He evidently anticipated the demands that would be made upon him in this respect, and has given evidence of this previous preparation in the knowledge of local conditions shown in his speeches, in which his remarks were locally applicable to the communi? ties he addressed. He prudently with? holds any allusion to politics, and modestly refrains from any self-laudation, confining his remarks to subjects of interest and entirely suited to the people. When several recent delegations called upon the President to nrge the names of their favorites for the appointment as successor to the late Justice Woods ou the Supreme Bench, the President responded as follows: "All the gentlemen named are of the highest character and fitness, but the newspapers throughout the country seem to have already made the appointment for me, and I am some? what embarrassed, since I do not care to make an issue with the press." These remarks are taken as a virtual admission that Secretary Lamar ia the coming man. It is he whom the papers have talked about for the Supreme bench vacancy. Mr. Willis, of Texas, is strongly backed for the place, and with Secretary Lamar ont of the race, would be a dangerous competitor. The foundation for the new congres? sional library building, is now in course of construction, and it will be interest? ing to know that when completed it will be the largest structure in Washington, with the exception of the capitol build? ing, and will cover 111,000 feet of space. It will cover about 14,000 feet more than the British Museum building; about 12,000 feet more than the royal library of Bavaria, and about 1,000 feet more than the new Qerman parliament building. Mr. Morrison, of the Inter State Com? mission, has just been granted a pension of $12 a month for service in the Mexican war. As an indication of the growth of the business coming before this commiaaion, the appropriation for its expenses for the present year was $100,000. The Com? missioners have asked for $200,000 for next year. It is predicted that it will become in several years an important and extensive branch of the Government. . The decrease of the public debt last month was $14,247,969. The total cash in the Treasury is $478,896,512.40, of which amount $275,000,000 in round numbers is available for the reduction of the public debt, $100,000,000 is a reserve fund for the redemption of United StateB notes, and $33,000,000 represents certifi? cates held for cash. A Bare Sight. Charlotte, Sept. 30?Citizens of Sharon township who were in Charlotte yesterday report that a cyclone passed over their section last Wednesday after? noon about 5 o'clock. The cyclone tore along through the clouds like a big bal? loon, occasionally dipping down and rising again carrying an eddying mass of fence rails and limbs in its circling path. The people over whom the cyclone passed say tbat they could watch it just as if it had been a balloon, so clearly was it de? fined. It looked like a big black funnel and it whirled around like a huge top. It was evidently about one^ hundred feet above the surface of the earth, but would occasionally dip down, wrench off the tree tops and sweep up fences. The cyclone, spectators tell us, traveled at the rate of thirty-five miles an hour and made a tremendous roar, something like the rumbling of a train of cars, but a hundred fold more noisy. It dipped down on the plantation of Mr. W. N. Alexander, tore up a number of peach and apple trees, took away a portion of the roof to his house, and then rising again, disappeared through the air in the direction of Philadelphia Church. Mr. Alexander says tbat he saw the cyclone coming, his attention being attracted to it by an nnusual sound overhead. When he first saw it it was skimming along just over the tree tops, and the branches of the trees bent and waved under it just as do shrubs along the banks of a rail? road as a train passes by. The cyclone made a sudden dip and when it rose it carried up a perfect storm of limbs, twigs and leaves. Looking at it as it passed over him high in the air, Mr. Alexander says that he could plainly see fence rails and branches of trees that it was carry? ing along with it. The skies at the time were overcast with heavy clouds, among which a visible commotion was made as the big black funnel-shaped mass tore its way throughout them. It must have been a rare sight, indeed, and it is fortu? nate for the people of Sharon, over whose heads it passed, that its course was through the air and not along the surface of the ground. The Euglneer was Mad. Fireman Roberts, of the Wabash Bail road arrived at Des Moines, Iowa, Thurs? day, on his train, and told a story of his experience with a mad engineer. When his train drew out of Des Moines on Tuesday night, Engineer Botsworth ap? peared to be all right, but before tbey had gone far, Roberts noticed that his companion acted queerly. At Harney he Bbould have stopped for water, and the fireman backed the train down to the ! proper place, while the engineer acted in a dazed manner. Once on the road again Botsworth began to travel faster until the train was running at the rate of fifty-six miles an hour. Then Roberts realized that Botsworth was deranged, and just in time, grasped the lever at Knoxville and saved the train from going through the open switch. Faster flew the engine, Botsworth standing by with a vacant smile, and as they thundered through Bacon, the maniac gave a yell and started to spring from the cab window. The watchful fireman caught him by the legs and while he balanced him on the win? dow ledge, managed with his foot to stop the train. The conductor helped to get Botsworth back to the baggage car, where he was carefully guarded to Ottumwa and. there turned over to the authorities. It is believed to be paralysis of the brain that ails him. The Piedmont Fair. Atlanta, Oct. 1.?Arrangements have been completed for an elaborate recep? tion of President Cleveland and his wife at this, the objective point of their jour? ney. The Piedmont Fair will open October 10th. The machinery will be started in mo? tion by Samuel J. Randall, who to-day telegraphed his acceptance and his will? ingness to deliver the opening speech. As Boon as this became known merchants and business men decided tbat the day should be observed as a holiday in honor of Mr. Randall. Gov. Gordon has issued orders closing all State departments on that day. Six thousand school children will be given holiday, and every business house and workshop will be closed, bo that the entire city will turn out to bear the distinguished Pennsylvanian. When the President arrives he will find the entire city festooned in the Na? tional colors, red white and blue. '? The General Assembly of Virginia is composed of 140 members?100 in tbe House of Delegates and 40 in the Senate. Only four of the Senators who hold over are Republicans, and seventeen are Dem? ocrats, consequently the Republicans must elect sixty-seven members to have a majority on joint ballot, and the Demo 'crate need elect only fifty-four. ? Mrs. Cleveland's cow, presented to her by George W. Childs, of Philadel? phia, while on her visit to Wootton, was shipped to Washington on a special car last Tuesday, and arrived at Oak View in charge of Mr. Child's head farmer. Mrs. Cleveland was given the choice of the fine herd of Jerseys and selected the one sent, which has always been a great pet, and was named Grace as a compli? ment to Mrs. Gross, wife of Dr. Gross. All the cows in the herd are named after friends of Mr. and Mrs. Childs. ? The case of the State vs. Michael Burns, just decided in the Augusta, Me., superior court, wa3 one where Burns thought that under U. S. law he could import liquor and Bell it in Maine in the original packages in spite of the stringent prohibitory law in that State. Gov. Bodwell ordered him arrested and prose cuted as a nuisance. Jndge Whitehouae in his charge said that the payment of import duty to the U. S. only gave the importer a right to seek a market in this country. It gave him no right to com? pel a market in any State where there were police regulations against his goods. A State might make such laws as it saw fit for the preservation of morality and good order, and decisions in Federal courts had expressly specified that a State might prohibit the introduction of articles within its borders detrimental to the public health. The jury were out only three minutes and gave a verdict against Burns. He proposes to fight the matter to the highest tribunal. NOTICE.
