ing Georgia, State relieved of the

The difference of condition between
the people in Florida and Georgia is
most remarkable. In Georgia, where
the people have their own government,
/ am informed the negroes, since the
State got rid of carpet-bagism, have
laid up from five to six million dollars.

Georgia, I was delighted to see the
condition of things there. The people
looked happy, the negroes sang cheer

cracking their jokes, and everything
indicated prosperity and thrift. In

A Danseri6s and Expensive job.

The New York Sun says:-
The political uncertainty created by
the conspiracy to count in Rutherford
Il. Hayes as President has wrought
enormous damage to material interests
in this country. The destruction Of
business and property which it has al
ready caused has been estimated ut ST.
OOO, 900; but if it is continued, it will
erelong have 10 be reck koasd by larger
figures.
1t HAYES should be put into the
White House by the means which
have been prepared and announced
for the purpose, by making the Presi-
dent Of the Senate the sole arbiter of
the Electoral votes, and by putting
down the House of Representatives
with military force, one OF tho carly
results would be the failure of more
than half the business firms in the
country, with the stoppage of all kinds
of industry, the pauperism of laboring
people, universal panic, and misery
incalculable am ong every class of the
population.
Such would be among the fret
fruits Of making President by the
Returning Boards in the South and
fraud and violence in Washington.

boys were engaged in the uprising,
and the signal was given by shutting

fight was a, desperate one for few

SENATOR Howe, the Republican,
Chairman of the Louisiana Senate
Committee, put his foot upon and
crushed the Radical nest-egg when he
rose and declared that it was ''needless
to examine any more witnesses in the
Pinkston case, that it was entirely ap-
parent that nothing Eliza Pinkston
had said or might say was to be be-
lieyed, that her statements could ac-
cuse no man and that it was needless
to examine any more witnesses to
show her bad character and utter un-
reliability" ilAo
