THE LSNGUAGE OF EDEN.

An author in Brazil claims to have dis
covered the primitive language Ofman, and
not only boldly makes the claim, but asserts
that he stands ready to prove it to the en-
tire satisfaction of linguists and anthropol-
ogists. And this is not a dead language,
but living, breathing, speaking reality,
and is spoken over region Of tw o hundred
leagues in length: one well known and &C
cessible to all, and where scientific linguists
may with facility verify the facts themselves.
The "Angl0- BrdEiiidn Times" of July
"a, contains an announcement of forth
coming wonder in a work which makes
the above proposition perfectly plain, in fact
dem 1nstrates it. 1t is now passing through
the press in Rio de Janeiro in three Ian
guages-Spanish, in which the authors
manuscripts are-and English and French
prepared under his supervision. His name
is for the present withheld, but the Times,
In an editorial, asserts that this author is not
a new man, nor one whom inexperience or
pretension might beguile into an erroneous
appreciation OF the evidence supporting his
discovery. BE is Of high social position,
not unknown to science, literature and pub
lie life. A highly educated intellect has
fitted him to explore and find, and compre-
hensiye and cosmopolitan study and travel
have qualified him to compare and classify
his matter and thought with profound as

HIGH FREIGHT CHARGES.

The Chicago Tribune of Tuesday has
the following protest against an upward
tendency in freights:
1t is becoming a serious question what
is 10 be done with the grain products Of
the country. During the last sixty days,
there has been general advance in the
rates of freights all over the country, and
the effect is crushing Upoh those who pro-
duce the lOwer-priced varieties of grain.
This advance has not affected the wheat
growers so much because there is compare
lively very little wheat going forward.
This is, however, accidental. As an Illus
tration, let us give some figures. The cost
of moving corn from point 100 miles dis
tant from Chicago, by the way of the lakes
and Erie Canal, including the intermediate
charges, to New York, is Al &c. This does
not include any charge or profit in that
city. The price of corn in New York is
Csc. Allowing SC. per bushel to cover
profits and expenses in New York, there is
left to the producer just dc. per bushel for
his corn. In oats, the case is even worse
In place of raising large surplus OF corn
and oats that will not pay to send TO tide
water. farmers should produce cheese,
worth from ten to twelve cents pound
for the two hundred and sixty million n
sumers in Europe. Cora at % cents
busbel in New York, is hardly a cent and a
quarter a pound to pay both the producer
and for transportation thousand miles or
more. Cheese at ten cents pound is
much better crop for the farmer and the
merchant. Our western agriculture runs
too much to cheap coarse grains, involving
great labor and small profit.

PURIFYING BY PERJURY.

A clerk in a United States Assessors Of
fee, in Washington, publishes communi-
cation stating that having demurred to sub
scribing twenty dollars TO carry Maine, he
was told to take bis choice between paying
the money or dismissal. In common with
olber clerks be yielded, and at the end of
the month each clerk made oath in accord
ance with the new civil service formula
that 81 have not paid, deposited, or as
signed, or contracted to pay deposit or
assignsny part of such compensation TO the
use of the Assessor or any other person, or
in any way directly or indirectly paid or
given or contracted to pay or give any re-
ward or compensation for my Office or en-
ployment, or the emoluments thereof"
1t will be seen that Grants boosted civil
service reform has simply added perjury to
extortion. The wretched clerks are still
bled, and sOlennly swear at the end ofeach
month to the contrary.

CHEERING NEWS.

From all parts of the State we have the
most encouraging news ofthe increasing
strength of Gen. Cheathsm. Even in East
Tennessee the race will be much closer 5e-
tween Cheathsm and johnson than we
had supposed, though the probabilities are
that Maynard will lead either Of them in
that division of the State. In West Ten
nessee well informed and judiclous per-
SONS assure us that Cheashsm's majority
over johnson will not be less than
fifteen thousand votes, and if the gains con
tinue at the present rate, his majority over
johnson will be nearer twenty-five thou
sand. In Middle Tennessee there is now
no doubt that Cheatham's majority over
Johnson viii be greater than Johnson's
msjority over him in East Tennessee.
The work before us is 10 organize and de-
feat Maynard.

1t is to be hoped that the Democracy of
Tennessee wiz look we'll to the election Of
their candidates for the Legislature. The
Radicals have been very much encouraged
by the impetus which Mr.. johnson has
given to the disorganizing movement in
the ranks ofthe supporters of Greeley and
Brown. They are highly elated with their
prospects, through our dissensions. of carry
ing the Legislature and thus being able to
re-district the State 50 as to give themselves
for the next ten years at least five members
OF Congress from Tennessee. II is folly,
it is madness to think that g disorganized
Democracy can beat party as united, as
well drilled and disciplined, as thoroughly
organized as the Radical party in Tennes-
see. Disorganization in our ranks, with
independent candidates in the field, leads to
division Of the Democratic vote and in
evitably produces an spathy or unwilling
ness among voters to choose between can
didates of the same political faith. No
where save here in Tennessee has the
attempt ever been made to defeat an OPP
posing party by disorganizing ones
own party. The attempt should be
made to disorganize the enemy
while you insist upon the strictest organi-
cation in your own ranks. The very best
method Of securing organization should be
adopted. We believe that it is too late in
the canvass TO make new experiments.
We therefore urge Democrats here and else
where to attend their county conventions
and select the very best men for candidates.
The Radicals are active and watchful and
will be quick to take advantage Of every
mis-step taken by us. We must close up
the ranks and organizs for victory, or GER
tain defeat awaits us.

An important question arising out Of th,

AN important question arising out Of the
money order system has recently been be-
fore the Department Of Justice. II grew
out of a controversy between the remitter
and psyee of a money order, the latter de-
manding payment Of the same and the
former forbidding it. The Attorney-Gen-
eral decides that after the RENTER OF an
order has delivered to the payee he can not
stop payment Of it, but the latter is entitled
to have the amount paid to him on proper
demand. The decision is based upon the
peculiar provisions Of the act of Congress
establishing the money order system, which
differ in this respect from the English
statute

In Georgia the poll-tax is six dollars,
which must be paid before election, and
the 100000 black votes viii cost the Grant
treasury 100000. The result is, that only

erous and local Offices wor tn having are the
pOll-taxes being paid up. Other districts
and the State at large go by default.
