MAYNARD SHOWS HIS HAND.

As all Tennesseeans have the honor
of being misrepresented in Congress by
Horace Maynard. we reproduce else
where the Substance of his first public
speech since refining to his constitu-
ents. Each reader viii form his own
conclusions rs to Maynard'.s attitude
on the Civil Rights question. The
Chronicle claims that, like Senator
BrOwnlow, he opposes the bin, and for
the same reasor-that he does net favor
mixed schools We have understood
BrOwnlow to oppose the bill on other
grounds also. He calls it the "sum of
villanies." Here is more villainy
than one-in fact, a sum Of them.
The Press 0ad Herald speaks of
Maynard as boldly unfurling the flag
of civil rights and granting Brownlow
the charity of silence" This distinct
misunderstanding between the two
journals indicates that Maynard is at
tempting the two-horse act. Taking
the Chronicles report of the speech,
Maynard says his party are pledged to
the Civil Rights bill as an entirety,
but he is willing to postpone mixed
schools till present prejudices die out.
Such is the substance of his verbiage.
Maynard, like other white Radicals,
who feel their leadership is slipping
from them into the hands of the me-
grOes, deprecates the race issue. The
trouble is they have 10 power to restrain
neither the blacks nor their Northern
colleagues. Brownlow lifted his
voice in vain. The insolent
resolutions of the negro May
Convention in Nashville remained un-
rebuked by any representative of the
race. The issue has been forced upon
the whites. No better proof of this
need be cited than Maynard's own
speech, which he was compelled to de-
vote mainly to the Civil Rights bill,
showing that such is the main issue
even in Knox county.wherethe Repub-
hcanS are two to one.
1t suits the white Radicals very well
TO deprecate any discussion, before the
people, of this "quintessence of abomi-
nations, while it is pending in Com
gress. Their policy would be to keep
the negroes in political tutelage, and
hold the whites quiet until they have
poured the nauseOus draught down our
Threats. They tell the negroes to "lie
low" and the great Republican party
will give them their civil
rights. This is the double scheme
to keep the negroes in apron-strings
and suppress the discussion of Civil
Rights until the infamy be accom-
plished. But the darkies will not keen
quiet, nor are the whites apt TO submit,
ike dumb driven rspflar'

WEDNESDAY was a day of apologies,
explanations and general expressions
of mutual esteem among the citizens Of
Atlanta. 1t was the day the press of
that city exposed and denounced the
Kimball petition % the United States
Treasurer. The leading men who had
signed it bowed to the popular feeling,
confessed they had committed a great
blunder through carelessness, inadver-
tency, ignorance, etc. and repaired the
wrong by ordering their names strick-
en- from the memorial. And Kimball,
by that the way Of the transgressor is
an uphill business.

THE watermelon crop is getting to
be an agricultural feature of consider
able Importance in Georgia. The re-
turns in the tax receivers Office show
that there are twelve hundred acres de-
voted to the cultivation of this fruit in
Richmond county alone. Allowing
four hundred melons to the acre,
very dow estimate, and we have a total
product of 10000. One-half of this
immense number is consumed in the
North At fifteen cents apiece, the
melon crop income of Richmond county
is upwards of $4,000. 1t may also be
added that three steamers carried away
from Savannah in one day last week
sixteen thousand melons for the New
York market.

HARO WORK THE BEST RE.
FORMER

The Hiadoo Patriot and Indian Jour
nal says the famine has produced re-
former in the person Of Pandit AjoOda
Prasad, who has succeeded in teaching
the Hindoos that work is religion. He
is himself Brahmin Of high cast, and
has given practical example by work
ing steady with hoe and pickaxe. As
children are born TO lazy and idle
people as well as to the industrious
and frugal, it Is not difficult to discover
the cause of famines in countries where
human ambition is Of a low type, IN
dustry held to be degrading, and con-
sumption aud population press closely
on the supply Of food.
A sparsely peopled island or CONT
nent does veiy little to remedy the
evils, incident TO the impiety which
fails to regard the religious aspect of
hard word, for IN no cline OF land do
the cereals grow without deliberate
care and cultivation. Give a family
three square meals a day, for 3G5 days
in a year, and each member Of the
household wants one thousand and
ninety-fve meals out Of the harvests of
one summer before another seed time
and ingathering come round.
The profound philosophy of St. Paul,
the tent-maker, who labored with his
Gown hands, and the doctrine of this
learned Brahmin. are the same in spirit
and in working ont the good of man.
kiud. Theologians who will initiate
the example of Aiooda Prasad and
tech religion through the hoe and the
pickaxe little. more, may happily es-
cape the temptations which ruined the
pastor of Plymouth church, and do
vastly greater good in the world. 1t is
the prayer of all prayers which says:
Lad us not into temptation. There
is No better defense against the arch
enemy's wiles than hard, honest work,
whether with mind or muscle.

THE PLAQUES OF THE SOUTHERN
PLANTERS.
New York Bulletin, July %

New 1ofh Dull0lliif
And now, with his accustomed regu-
laritv. comes the boil worm in some
parts of Alabama, Mississippi and
Louisiana The boil worm is no stran-
ger. He is an annual visitor, but this
season he is lat + than usual. FOrtu-
nately, its rlvages are confined to com
paratively limited areas, and seldom
extend beyond the immediate neighbor-
hood Of its birth, the worm not being
migratory in its habits. Its destruc-
tiveness is as great, however. as that Of
the caterpillar, as it attacks the ex-
terror of the boil and bores entirely
through, completely destroying the
fibre, caelyx, etc. Last year the insect
ravaged Epson, Marion, Twiggs,
Stewart. Coweta, Calhoun, McDufiie,
Butts, Baldwin and Heard counties,
Georgia. destroying the cotton crops
and iniicting much pecuniary loss
upon the planters there; but on this
occasion this year Georgia is spared.
The caterpillar, however, is said to have
put in an appearance in some OF the
counties of that State, but we do not
learn that they have done Il great deal
Of damage as yet. 1t is sad to reflect
that nothing has yet been discovered
that will prevent the ravages OF the
boil worm and caterpillar. Millions of
dollars have been lost, and hundreds of
men bankrupted by these pests; but,
excepting empirical "destroyers, moth
inc has been discovered that will enable
the planter to get rid of them.

THE third-term fiddle-faddle comes
up every little while, and after giving
the paper weeks theme, goes down,
till dull times bring it back again. The
Beecher scandal has put it out of sight
lately, but that absorbing subject must
come to its end by and by. When it
does, we hope that the inventive
gcniuses Of New York and Louisville
will bring out something new, instead

WHY CRIME FLOURISHEs.
Abuse Of the PardOning Power by the
Governor of SOulh Carolina.


The general pablic have a very faint idea
of the extent Of the abuse OF the pardoning
power since the installation of Gov. Moses.
They know that notorious criminals who
are tried, convicted, and sent TO the peni-
Tertiary, soon reappear in the streets 10 be
gin anew their infamous career. They
know that, before eulprit official becomes
familiar with the customs of the State
prison, lie is released, told TO go in peace,
and sin again. Yet il will aStOnish the
South Carolina public and startle the Amer
lean people to be told, as We tell them
now, that from Dec. II, 1872, To July %,
1874, a period of only nineteen months,
Gov. Moses granted -four hundred and
i,ceR,y-ORe pdr,lORs, an average Of twenty
two a month. And this is exclusive OF
twenty-five or thirty criminals who were
discharged in batch, and Of whose pardon
there is no record. The offences Of which
the persons pardOned were convicted are
shown in the following table, which is con-
densed from an official statement obtained
by us from the Office of the Secretary Of
State:

twenty-four persons found guilty Of the
terrible crime of house-burning escape pun

Of the culprits, though four-ffths of them
are blacks; nor do We care TO inquire who

fact stands out that Gov. Moses in nineteen
