The Beecher-TiltOn Scandal.

During the past few days the interest
in the Beecher-Tilton controversy has
been quietly subsiding. The principal
actors in the case no longer attract pub
lie attention, and even the discussion
of the subject is becoming distasteful
in Brooklyn. Most people seem to
know as much about the scandal as
they desire, and do not therefore con-
Germ themselves about further develop
ments. Mr.. Moulton's statement has
not yet appeared, and, as he is still alb
sent from Brooklyn, it will probably be
delayed day or two longer. Some
very important disclosures are expected
when it is published. One thing, at
least, may be relied upon: That Mr..
Moulton will keep nothing in reserve
this time. All that he knows in con-
nection with the case, will be brought
forward in his promised statement. It
is believed that General Butler has as
sisted in its preparation. Mr.. Tilton
is anxiously awaiting the appearance
of this document, in order to give his
own statement to the public.
No further action has yet been tax
en- in relation to the legal suits grow
ing out of the case. tits believed that
Mr.. Tilton's suit against Mr.. Beecher
will be vigorously prosecuted. Mr..
Tilton's council stated yesterday that
he had not yet received Mr.. Beecher's
answer to his clients complaint. He
says he does not expect it unit. the le-
gal time OF twenty days has expired,
and that Mr.. Beecher's counsel would
prolong the matter to greater length
if they could. He states that Mr..
Shearman's excuse for not serving it is
that he wishes the pastor of Plymouth
Church to enjoy his vacation undis-
burbed. No further developments
have taken place in relation to the H.
bel suits against the Brooklyn paper.

Perkins Touring mill was destroyed
by fire at Burlington, Wis, Sept. 4th.
Total loss. The mill was running
when the fire broke out. There was
only one man in the mill at the time,
who was in the third story when he
saw smoke issuing from the elevator.
He barely had time to escape, nearly
being suffocated by the smoke while
going through the second story. The
fire is supposed to have been caused by
friction. Loss partly covered by in
surance.

BRIGHAM's PERJURY. Brigham

Of the Church of Jesus Christ of Lat
ter-day Saints, made oath to an in
strument of writing in the Third Dis

thereto, swearing that his wife, Ann
Eliza Young, was never divorced from
her first husband, James j.. Dee. The
statement is a lie, and the oath an act

In speaking of the nomination of Mr..

This shows that the Journal Of Com

THE FUTURE OF THE SOUTH

A correspondent writing from the
Middle States to the Macon Tele-
graph describes the social changes
through which the South is passing :
"Every year curtails the African
farm labor Of the South. The wo>
men, with few exceptions, now scorn
to touch the plow or hoe. And Of
the thousands of the rising genera
ton who go to school, it is safe to
say that not one in tscenty will ever
return to the old plantation. In the
meantime the old stock Of field hands
in the days of slavery is rapidly d.
minishing.
But with this decline, as sure as
supply follows demand, water seeks
its level, or capital will flow where
it can be proftably employed, the
fame Of the cheap lands Of the South,
and her genial cline, will attract
valuable and permanent popula-
ton, who will drive out the indo-
lent negro, and establish themselves
as property holders and thrifty tax
payers. Who will gainsay this
proposition, save in the limited dis
tricts where Africa reigns supreme,
and the land is fast relapsing into
Pagan barbarism 7"

WooL.-The prospects for WOO
growers for obtaining good prices
on wool, in our opinion, was never
better. The amount of sheep in the
country over last year is nothing,
only one State showing any decided
increase, while others remained as
before or fell off. There was only
enough wool to be had this spring to
run the mills until the coming Of the
present clip, consequently there is
no stagnation ia that direction
True, woollen goods are lower now
than they have been for some time,
but they have all along been too
high and that is nothing against
our argument. The unsettled finan-
ciaI condition Of the country has un-
settled values and wool is one Of the
first articles to respond to the none
tary barometer, but it is settled that
there will be no expansion this seas
on, SO all values will settle into their
legitimate channel, hence wool
should start off at the figures ruling
before the clip came in. Fifty to
fifty-fiye cents is the price It should
command during the whole season,
and if farmers are wide awake it
will command that price at once
A word to the wise is sufficient. So
says the Buckeye Farmer.

rHn RACE PROBLEM.

The Nashville Banner says "when
Fred Douglass urged the members
of his race, in q recent letter, to
leave those States in which they are
in q minority and locate in those
where they are in q majority, he
might not have been very far from
suggesting a movement which will,
after all, promote the ultimate solu-
ton of the race question in these
States. If at all practicable it would
be a happy thing if the more tropical
sections Of the South should be aban-
doned by the whites to the negroes
entirely-the abandoned region to be
constituted the African reservation by
the government, which should REIN
burse the white owners for their sur
rendered estates. The negroes could
establish their own local govern
ments, and have equitable represen-
tation in the national councils. No
other species of colonization OF the
blacks is at all practicable, and We
doubt the practicability OF this
Nevertheless, it is question to be
thought abou. and not fought ABOUT,
and only to be considered after 1t
shall have been satisfactorily demon
strated that the two races cannot
exist peaceably under the same local
government"
1t is impossible that they can exist
peaceably in the same political CON-
munity as the movement for the

ances, all over the South, abundant
ly indicate. The suggestions OF the

THE OPIUM EATER.

Emerging from his sleeping berth
after night of dreamless slumber,
the writer was struck with the wan
and baggard countenance Of an aged
and respectable looking gentleman
who sat upon the edge of his couch.
Presently, as he drew forth a
small tinfoil-covered parcel and swal-
lowed huge pill of the deadly mar
cotic, the cause of his ghastly APP
pearance was at once made evident.
He was victim to that rapidly in
creasing and most baleful practice
of opium eating. Even in our own
virtuous South, this suicidal habit is
growing fearfally frequent, even
among the highest classes, and en-
bracing both sexes. Better far take
pota.ions "pottle Deep" and drain
to the dregs the inebriating bowl,
than imbrute the mind and the sem
SEES, and drown in the waters of
Lethe all the moral attributes and
instincts Of the soul by the inordinate
use of this fascinating and fatal drug.
The latter, to all the direful effects
of drunkenness, adds the utter over
throw Of the nervous system, the
wreck Of every energy OF the body,
the destruction Of the moral percep-
tions, and certain and awful death.
He who has witnessed the closing
scenes OF the opium eaters career,
as has fallen to the lot of the writer
in two instances, will attest the truth
Of what he has but feebly expressed.
And if any doubt the increase OF
this pernicious custom in Georgia,
let them note the astounding quanti-
ties of narcotics sold daily by all of
our leading druggists. The recent

ArLAHTrANs ASPIRING.

The candidacy Of. General Gar
trell suggests circumstance Of in
terest which has not yet been no.
ticed, and that lie the large number
OF candidates for high political dis
tinction furnished by Atlanta. This
city will furnish three active, earnest
candidates for Governor in case Cen
eral Gartrell consents to the use OF
his name for that high Office. These
are General A. II. Colquitt, Hon.
John III. James and General Lucius
J. Gartrell. For Congressional hon
ora Atlanta furnished candidates for
three Congressional Districts, viz :
The Fifth, the Seventh and the
Ninth. These are Hon. Ben. u.
Hill for the Ninth Colonel James.
d. Waddell and Colonel w. Fl. Dab
ney for the Seventh, and Hon. Mil
ton A. Gambler, Cononel X. A. Aston
| and Colonel 4. G.. Howard. True,
all these candidates reside in their
Congressional Districts which they
aspire to represent in Congress ; but
il is singular fact that they all have
their places Of business in Atlanta,
where they remain most Of their time.
Had Mr.. Hill been nominated in the
Ninth, and should either Colonel
Waddell or Colonel Dabney be
nominated in the Seventh, with Gen
eral Gordon in the Senate, Atlanta
would have four representatives in
Congress. Though we claim quite
monopoly Of candidates, we are
not SO arrogant as to lay claims to a
monopoly Of tho talent of the State.
