JAMES X. JULIAN,
A Volunteer Witness.

Mr.. Robert Toombs, OF Georgia, made his
little speech at Atlanta before it was
thought any investigating committee would
be necessary. Hear him:
We got good many honest fellows into
the first Legislature, but l will tell you
how We got them there. will tell you the
truth. The newspapers won't tell it to you.
We got them there by carrying the black
vote by intimidation and bribery (laughter1
and l helped to do it! [Appiause I
would have scorned the people If they HID
not done il! And will buy them as long
q they put beasts to 20 to the ballot box!
fCheers No man should be given the
elective franchise who has not the intelii-
gence to use it properly. The rogue should
not have it, for government is made to
punish him; the fool should not have it, for
government is made to take care of him.
Now, these miserable wretches-the
savages into the stomach of our
body polite, and the man who says he &C.
cepts negro suffrage, l say, accursed be he!
lCheere. don't want representation based
on population alone. We never before had
IL 90 in Georgia. 1t was always based upon
population and territory, and if you have q
convention can make you Q constitution
BY which the people will rule and the mig
ger will never be heard Of! (Cheers Why,
they cant perpetuate their own negro
power. In the counties where they were in
the majority they did not preserve their
power and perpetuate their ruls MY rem.
edy helped Us to break that up. We carried
them with Us by bribery and intimidation!
l advised it and paid my money for it!

A valley has recently attracted attention
on Kings river, Fresno county, Californis,
which 10 forty-dve miles long from east to
west, and averages half q mile wide ct the
bottom: The Fresno Republican saye: 1T
lies 5000 feet above the seq, and it's walls,
which are abont 5000 feet high, are very
preclpitous. In this valley q new grove of
colossal redwood trees has been discovered.
One of them cell oses all that has been dis.
covered on the Pacific coast. Its circum.
ference. as high ss man can reach and pass
a tape line around, is q few inches less than
$50 feet. This is beyond the measurement
of any tree in the Calaveras grove. The
height is estimated at l60 feet, and q part
Of the top lying On the ground Is over 100
feet in length"

this subject during his trip to the Pacific

No more gentle, kindly aud, if may say
80, "motherly nature" ever existed than
that of Harriet Martineau She delighted
in children and in the friendship of good
wives and mothers. One of her chief vir-
tines, indeed, was . simple domesticity that
gave her a wonderful charm with those
who prefer true gentlewom, to literary
li0nesses.
