Nearly thirty-three thousand immigrants

they are indolent, vicious and depraved,

$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

.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ought, in our judgment, to be repealed,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son why this tax should be repealed.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.

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.

BLECKLEY,
BROWN & FRETWELL.
OUR Stock is now arriving daily, and we
ask you to call and determine for yourself
who has got the PRETTIEST GOODS at
the LOWEST PRICES.
You have no doubt read flaming adver?
tisements about LOWEST PRICES and
BEST GOODS. Do you always find prices
and quality as they say ?
There is a Firm in a Western town, we
are told, who does a large and successful
business under the sign of "The highest
priced Store in the United States, run by the
meanest man in America."
Now, we want to advance this idea to you
for your consideration: That it is right and
proper for you to deal with those whom you
have been trading with for the last thirty
years, who have always done you right, and
in v/bom you have implicit confidence.
We have saved the people thousands of
dollars this year, by selling them Dry Goods
on a credit at cash prices. This has enabled
more people to pay cash for their Groceries,
and force others to adopt the same plan.
Our Stock is now nearly complete, and we
>can show you the handsomest lines in all
Departments ever before exhibited here.
So far as PRICES are concerned, we guar?
antee SATISFACTION, and will not ask
you more for an article than it is really
worth.
We do not fear COMPETITION, and are
always ANXIOUS TO MEET IT, being
well prepared to down ANY competition,
no matter where it comes from.
Yours truly,
BLECKLEY,
