COMPLETE FIzzLE OF THE PRETENDED ;" NEGRO
ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS OF TIE ALLEGED
LEADER-THE WHOLE STORY MANUFACTURED.
Special to the Washington Chronicle.
MACON, Ga, Sept. 3.
The great scare Of the Democratic Ku. Klux of
Washington and other counties in this State,
who were afraid that the negroes were organic
ing to pay them back in their own coin, has re-
suited as every sensible person supposed it
would, in a verdict OF not guilty. There was
nothing in it, and the whole of the proceeding
on the part OF the State was the biggest farce
ever enacted. The Democrats OF this State or
gained tho scare in order to fire the Northern
Democratic heart. 1t was "put up Job" of
the FUNNIEST character, aud so bunglingy ar
ranged was the whole plot, that oven the de-
Tense introduced no WITNESSES whatever against
Corday Harris, who WAS charged with attempts
to lncile an instruction, and whose trial ended
~ sahoeisvtile, yesterday morning, with YER
dict OF " not guilty from the jury. The trial
WAS characterized throughout by fairness on the
part Of the Democratic Judge. Herschel V. John
son. II was his duty to sec that Justice was
done, and he has received encomiulns from the
people for simply doing that duty. This judi
cai investigation showed that the negroes had
been organizing military companies and that no
intention existed in their minds of raising an in
surrection, or attacking the whites. The prose-
cution failed TO show that Corday Harris had in
duced others to subvert the laws OF the State by
acts OF violence, and 30 thoroughly satisfied are
the State authorities that no evidence can be
brought against the others, against whom in
dicments were found that their trial has been
postponed until the next regular term of court,
which begins on Monday, September 10. The
military companies of the State, composed of
Confederate soldiers, who have been on duty for
several weeks, engaged in keeping the peace,
that has never been broken have been dismis.
sed This ridiculous scare has cost the State
thousands OF dollars, and been tho means Of
disgusting many sensible conservatives.

Cheated out of "a.

There ii not reasonable doubt, after learning
the history of the polling in the Let 3ra 4th and
10th Wards, and after making comparison of
the figures. that Mr. Valentine ia de'so- Ia ,s,>
OF his election. Far more than the 60 majority
which is counted mp for Mr.. Whiteley is fraudu-
lent, and to this, no doubt, Boss Given and his
associates could amply testify, if they would.
The immense poll in the downtown Wards was
swollen and crammed with gangs Of
hon-residents, tramps, repeaters, and others
vino have no right to a vote in this city Such a
swelling of the total had been confidently relied
upon to elect Mr.. Whiteley, aud Tuesday after
noon it was very plain that it Was doing the work.
Up to o'clock the whole drift of things was of
this character, and Republicans who had
watched the polling began to lose courage, feel.
ing that tho hard ut work was all in vain il such
fraudulent vote were put in, in the lower wards.
In spite of it, however, they rallied, later, and
thought it still possible to elect Mr.. Valentino.
While it il true, az the Mayor-elect said in his
speech, last evening, that he owes bis election
to Republican Votes, the number Of these would
not have sutficed, had not a wholesale systcm of
gouginS been resorted to. Mr.. Valentine is
beaten by narrow mGjority, and he is beaten un-
fairly. The practices that have be-amirched the
State elections SO often are now grated OH our
municipal elections. II this fraud of probably
two Or three hundred votes is quietly tolerated,
now, another time it will be swollen to four or
five hundred, and from that indefinitely.

IMPROVEMENT OF THE sourH

The scheme now being brought to tho atten-
ton OF the people of New York for tho further
ance of immigration to Virginia and other South
ern States is one Of Importance. We are not
deferred from expressing this opinion
BY tho objection that General Lee
ald Ills associates in the Fredericks-
burg project may have merely personal inter-
est IN securing an increase OF population in their
section, resulting in rise IN the value of
their property. Everything relating to public
affairs is personal in some of its bearings, and if
the press should hesitate to endorse every en-
terprise which had a leaning to the promotion of
individual good, it would soon restrict its field
81 completely as to have nothing left to enlarge
upon. truer view regards tho honestly.ob-
taihed prosperity OF the individual as the vitality
OF the State. If the Fredericksburg Association
can materially RAISE the price of land in their
section they do that service to a greater or less
extent for the whole State of Virginia, and if
once the race sets in, the ontire South must be
proportionatey benefited.
The topic in general is one of vast interest.
The Western country is 80 well advanced that
special attention need no further be given in
that direction. With the progress now made that
machine will run itself, for the needs of the
great population already west of the Alleghenies
must draw in fresh material by the law of natur-
al increase. 1t Is well therefore, to turn our
gaze to country as near at home and quite AZ
rich ~ the west, which remains practically ms
unlmproyed NJ it wss before the Revolution.
The possibilities of the South have not vet been
dreamed Of and the men who first start in to
work out the solution will DO those who will pro-
NJ most heartily. Can it be that our crowded
new England will not contribute Il pro- |
portion Of tho tllers OF its roekv
roll, that they may buy land in Virginia, as
good as any IN the Union, at IS an acre There |
IL the real ''Bonan2a"-source OF moro gepuine
wealth than all the mines Of California and Ne |
vada.
We all Know, of course, why tho South alone |
has been kept behind in the national race. With |
natural advantages for surprising New England, |
the slavery blight was enough to ruin
It's chance for supremacy as long as it was suf |
Tered to exist. But that il now bravely changed |
and there is no reason why the attempt to place |
the South in line with the rest of the nation in |
all that goes towards the making Of an energetic |
and prosperous people should not be at once and |
successfully made. And it certainly will be |
made. 1t is not in reason to suppose that such |
a magnificent section of the country ghould long |
remain in its present condition. for it is destined
TO be the garden Of the continent the peer OF |
the greatest agricultural tracts yet improved.

WRITING ON THE RAIL.

Mr.. Frank auckland in his entertaining
"Log Book Of Fisherman and Zoologst," just
issued gives many useful hints as to study and
the employment Of leisure moments, but among
them he has one very doubtful recommends
ton. This is the suggestion that professional
men and others can often economist time by
writing on railway trains. He AYERS that he
prepares much of his copy for the press in that
manner, and that he has taught many Of his
acquaintances the same accomplishment. 1t
seems to BIO more than a knack something that
has to be learned for our author says his
father taught him how to do it. and that Dr.
auckland was in his time instructed by some
venerable prelato whose name we have forgot
ten.
No doubt people who travel mnch by rail often
find time heavy on their hands, and many pro-
test against what they call "waste," but they
had better put up with this evil, II it be one,
than run great risk in seeking to remedy it.
No active man can get too much rest, and the
enforced periods of idleness caused by
railway travel should be regarded -
benefits rather than hindrances. Despite what
Mr.. auckland hints Of his method Of work OIL
rail, common sense shows that such labor must
Of necessity be injurious. English railways are
much smoother than ours, but the perfection
OF mechanism cannot overcome motion highly

and the difficulty experienced will show the con-
tinual spasmodic action necessary to accomplish
any result All the tuition suggested can only
be IN the line of overcoming this natural resist
ance and must in the nature of things be vio-
lent and injurious process. Under the most ia
yorab!s circumstances, people should
be careful how they hold tile pom
and what degree of force they exert in
writing. 1t is possible to acquire a habit of
writing with the expenditure Of little power, and
to distribute the force evenly through the arm
instead OF making it bear mainly upon the finger
and wrist. This is point of much consequence
with those who write much.
One of the most dstressing,of minor COM
plants brought to the surgeon is an affection Of
the right hand, arm and shoulder called "wri,er's
palsy" caused by the continuous spasmodic
crampings of those members. Mr.. Buckland's

THE STORAGE AT BALTIMORE.
For ten days past there has been an active
movement OF corn from the West to the
Atlantic seaboard, the receipts being heavy
ut all points. As ststed by the Chicago Ti-
buns, the late good weather has been max
ing corn at the rate Of 10, 100000 bushels day
and it has been universally accepted that the
corn crop will be q large ono. Western farmers
are clearing out their stocks of old corn and pre-
pairing the eransries for the reception Of the
new ono. This, more than demand at
tho seaboard, is the cause for the
rapid Accommodations eastward. Farmers have
lost all fears OF early fross at the West. In the
past ten DAYS corn has declined in price Q or 10
cents per bushel, sales being made on the Balti-
moro Chsnge yesterday at IS and 76 cents for
primo The European demand for grain IL
light at this time, prices net having settled to
permanent basis. Besides. tho European potato
crop is ia poor condition, and must be iumedi
ately marketed, and potatoes are taking the
place OF grain for consumption. Wheat remains
firm in prices at Baltimore, and declines Lut
slowly. Local millers are buving for consump-
ton, but in the absence Of European demand
Western wheat is not dealt in largely. The
prospects are. however, very favorable for a
heavy export demand for American grain this
fall and winter. There are 42i, 931 bushels Of
corn in Baltimore elevators, and large quantities
reported on the way. Stock Of wheat IN eleva-
tors sc $40 busbsla.
