LIE arGTsTA EAC,ToRY.

A remark IN these columns that the
resolution Of the stockholders in the
Augusta cotton factory to borrow
100000 on a sale of bonds looked
rather discouraging' elicits the follow
ing explanation from the augusta CkrOn.
i,ls: Besides paying for many years an.
nual dividends Of twenty per cent, tie
factory accumulated from its profits a
surplus of more than 100000.
Unwilling to let this large
amount Of money lie idle, the
stockholders determined to In
vest the surplus in another mill. The
new mill was built and equipped with
machinery, and viii add greatly TO the
value and productiveness Of the prop
erty. But N the meantime, the bust.
ness prostration caused by the panic
has greatly decreased the consumption
of cotton goods, and the Augusta fac
tory has suffered to some extent from
the causes which have afflicted every
other manufacturing enterprise. The
issue Of bonds is for the purpose of
providing the company with adequate
commercial capital, and will prove only
a very small charge upon the corpora
ton"

THE SPRINGS OF CORRUPTION
DRYING UP.

In answer to Judge Edmonds' call
upon the Republican oficeholders for
1 per cent of their salaries, a store
keeper IN Kansas replies as follows:
Il am not a little surprised at the
audacity which characterizes the de-
mand you make upon me for money.
l understand you mean, simply,
that if 1 do not hand over the amount
my commission Will be. revoked. Let
1t be reU0ked, then, for certainly I do
not recognize your right to make any
slch demand any more than l recog-
nize the right OF the highwsyman to
place his pistol TO my head and demand
my money or my life. And if the Re
publican party has arrived at the point
which requires the use of such means
to perpetuate it, my opinion is that the
sooner we are rid of the party and very
many Of its leaders the better it will be
for cur common country. And in view
of the foregoing facts, l must beg t.
be excused from your Gerry modest de-
mdHd."
If few hundred officials would re-
ply in the same way, this blackmail
levy would soon be stopped; for while
Secretary Bristow may, and probably
will, dismiss this bold mutineer, it
would hardly be safe to dismiss large
number. The connection between their
refusals to be robbed and their dis
missals would be too patent.

BURIED IN AN ELECTRIC CLOUD

Mr.. A P. Bumpass, living near Old
Cotton Grove, in this county, was struck
or burned by tightening, one day last
week, almost unto death. He was plOw-
ING in an Open field, when a cloud full Of
thunder ard lightning, suddenly encOm-
passed him on every side. Everything
about him was as dark as midnight in a star
less sky. Ont Of this weird darkness
came a hight above the brightness of the
sun. Itblazed for but a moment around
him, the thunder pealed its deep and start
ling tones, aud then all was still, save the
voice of beating rain, and the faint echo
Of a retTeating storm. On awaking from
his sleep of electricity, he found that his
horse was gone, the pillow shivered into
atoms, and himself weak and pOwerless.
His left shoulder was bruised and paralyz-
ed-his left hip bleeding from a rent that
had deprived him of at least a pound Of
flesh, and the sole of his left foot shom Of
its flesh, and the foot itself perfect wreck
Of matter. His cries brought assistance
from his house hard by, and strange to say
he is in a fair way TO recover from the
wounds Of the most frightful war with the
elements recorded in any time.

The NetV York Bulletin well says that,
as the discussion of the currency ques-
ton has now fallen into the hands of
politicians, sober thinkers viii be apt
to lapse into a mood of disgust, and
viii wait with as much patience as they
can command until the wild babble of
condending theorists has subsidized.
The opposite sides have taken the very
extremes of theory, as witness the
Nelv York World and the Cincinnati
Enquirer, and in the end they will
find they have fallen short Of a practi-
cal solution Of the problem. Wbenthe
political doctors have failed to cure the
disease, there may be some chance for
a method of treatment which avoids
impracticable extremes and considers
what is feasible. The Bulletin thinks
political journals that day after day
labor to commit their party to an ex-
IRENE position on this question will
some day find out that they have led
their friends into a very embarrassing
situation. 1t puts some nice questions
to its neighbor of the World as fol-
lows:
The World would be much better
understood IN its adv lcacy of hard
money if it would distinctly define
what it means by that term, Will it
tell as ID whether it would permit any
paper issues; % if so, of what kind
and to what extent; 81 how much
coin we ought to have; and, a. seeing
we have very little coin, how we are 70
get what additional amount it thinks
We may need? 1t might be quite pru-
dent for t World to get its ideas on
these points very definitely fixed; at
any rate, the public have a right t. ask
just what lies under this eatch-word.
Coming from a purely commercial
journal, published in sight of Wall
street, these views are significant of the
chaotic uncertainty about finance and
financial schemes which constitutes the
main element Of our present stagnation
and gives all enterprise pause. The
World, commenting on Senator Thur
mans able effort at Mansfield, o., last
Saturday, says: at is the statesman
who speaks; and no Democrat in the
land but viii thrill with a pride that is
no less patriotic for being partisan, at
Senator Thurman kindling exposition
Of the spirit of the natural partyof free
institutions in a Republic ike ours. !"
The World might itself pattern by the
Ohio statesman, and recognize that
there is a mighty difference between
Gov. Allen and Ben Butler, Gen.
Ewing and Wendell Phillips-all the
difference that distinguishes Democrats
from destructionists.

PEOPLE will talk, and the st. Louis
Times of Tuesday has the following
item about the Senatorial succession:
1T is the opinion Of very inteli-
gent and we'll. posted Tennesseean,
with whom we had a conversation yes
terday, that none of the gentlemen who
competed with Mr.. johnson for the
Senatorial nomination Will be named
By Gov. Porter as temporary successor
to the deceased, but that the honor Will
be conferred upon some outside man,
who had no share IN that cOntest-pos-
sibly George w. Jones. In the mean
time, the Governor is absent from the
capital, with the apparent object of
escaping the opportunities Of candi-
dates"
Copying a similar on dit, the Chatta-
noOga Times exclaims: "The King is
dead. Long live the King! We pity
Gov. Porter. The number of applica-
tons which will be presented to him
can only be estimated by examining
the latest census reports. Not less
than a thousand persons and their
friends imagine they are the only men
to fill Mr.. Johnson's shoes.

CROAKERS.

1t is misfortune for Tennessee that
she has within her limits so many
croakers who are forever complaining
Of her financial condition AID her lack
Of prosperity. According to their rep
reservations. we are on the verge of
ruin. The country has been bored
enough by these drOnes and croakers.
If Tennessee does not suit them, hey
should go elsewhere. Certainly they
are not needed here. We need men
who viii exert themselves lnanfully to
get our State out of her present trou-
bles-men who viii speak cheerfuIly
about matters and will hold up their
heads and face disasters.

POSTMASTER ABBOTT, of Laramie,
Wyoming, has been investigated by a
special agent, and the result is a bad
showing for the P. NJ. He accepted a
monthly stipend Of 500 from a lottery
s5hemer as a consideration for non-in-
reference with his mail, and for
promptly forwarding 1t to Omaha.
Abbott represents that he received the
money for the payment Of an extra
clerk, necessited by the large amount
of mail matter incident to the lottery
swindle, but the special agent ascer-
tanned that no such extra clerk was
employed.

There are some signs Of a concerted
movement to force a United States IN
PREVENTION IN Cuban affairs. The Gu
ban sympathizers in the press have
broken out recently with fresh vigor.
a considerable number of American
newspapers have long been committed
to what is called intervention on the

fare between Spain and her richest

vention looking toward the absorption

the rays of the sun. An instance was
given of this kind in Nevada, the other
day, where the heat 50 expanded sever
al of the rails as to force them from
their position, and even to draw the
spikes from the ties. 1t was necessary
to shorten the rails IN order to replace

TOURISTS who visit Colorado the
present summer have been surprised to
find, instead of the dry, clear atmos-
phere which they expected at this sea-
son Of the year, as frequent rains as oc.
cur IN any of the Atlantic STATES. In
deed, the DenUer Ne1rs says that at this
time more rain is falling In Colorado
than on the Eastern seaboard, and 1t
discusses the questions whether the
climate Of the Territory is not chang
ing, and whether The money invested in
irrigating canals viii not eventually
prove a dead loss to the investors. Some
of the citizens are firm IN the belief
that the climate is really undergoing a
change, and predict that before long 1t
will rain in Colorado as much and as
often as it does in the States.

THE latest suggestion about the
next Presidential contest is made by a
Washington correspondent of the
Boston Herald. He thinks that if the
two great parties" nominate weak
men, rs they are likely to do, theie Will
arise a splendid opportunity for a
Centennial President, nominated and
elected without convention or partisan
combination - the peoples choice"
The correspondent thinks all the
greater" newspapers of the country
would support such a candidate, and
that his name would inevitably be
Charles Francis Adams. We have
heard Of something on that plan once
or twice before, and have in fact seen
1t tried by the greater" newspapers.
