The Political Cauldron Seethins

Both political parties at present are
doing their prcttiest to bring out their
fastest horses for the great stake OF
1880. Frvm the Republican side we
hear nothing but Graut, and steps are
now on foot to give series Of ova'ions
of character and magnitude never be-
fore witnessed in America upon his
return from Europe. His absence was
a wise thing for him and his party, and
the great favors shown him upon his trip
have evidcutly strengthened him and
given him more the appearance OF a lion
than his thick head typi6ed while here.
His followers and admirers propose to
keep him away as long as possible from
the campaign, and, upon his return, t"
give him a regular rocket send-ott. We
earnestly trust that it may be a stick
come down. Upon the other nand'
we have from the party of honor anu
constitutional adhersucy the Demo-
cratic) the names of Thurman, Bayard'
Hancock and Tilden, with other smaller
fish, more voracious than popular
There is no comparison iu the tickets
presented, and while all of the above
named from our side (save Tilden)
would be extremely agreeable, we must
give our preference to that statesman
and gentleman, Thomas F. Bayard. tie
is a relic of the olden time. He it IS
who would conduct the Republic upon
the basis that made it what it IS. tie
is the peer of Washington, Jefferson
and Madison, and proudly would VIC
hail his elevation as sign OF better
days for the Republic. Bayard and

..The Southern War Claims. "

Mr.. Bragg, of Wisconsin, opened his
batteries of abuse upon the Southern
Democracy the other day, in quite a
violent manner, upon the question of
Southern war claims. He surely knew
very little about What he was talking, or
allowed his judgment to be so warped
BY passion, that he could not express
what he did know. He spoke as if he
thought that the great impslling mo-
two that induced the South TO belong
to the Democratic party, was to make
out Of the Government what it could in
this way, and taunted us with the re-
mark, That if this was the cause, the
sooner We went over to the other side
the better" Now, once for all, We say
to Mr.. Bragg and oil of his ilk, that no
such motives control US. Higher and
loftier causes than these make US mem-
bers of that great party. We believe
in it because We think its doctrines are
right, as long as they are carried out
upon the Jeffersonian principles, and
not only are We avcrse to most Of these
claims, but We give our unqualified con-
demnation to the same. We have no
sympathy for a man or woman South
who, during those dreadful days Of
bloodshed and war, were not loyal to
the land in which they lived, and if we
could, We would forever rut the seal Of
condemnation upon what they are now
trying to get, and retakc what they have
already received. There were minors
in the Southern Confederacy; there were
unfortunate men and women who were ]

men from goingvwith the Democrats. 10

his ardent signals and, screwing up his cour-
age, he crossed over and entered the store

the responsibility devolved upon him

Then, .TlI try half a dozen OF these

so on, till he had spent S11 25-withn fifteen

by the amiable manner of the girl and being
unable further to invest in her goods, he
ventured to say, in very. eoneiliatory voice,
"How do you do, anyway 'Sir-r-rr' "I-
ant you the girl that bowed to me across the

Mormon Converts In Georgia.


On Tuesday a large party Of Mormon con
verts passed through the Taxing district en-
route for Salt Lake City. A reporter Of the
Avalanche was at the depot when the train ar
rived. There were about $50 in the party
and they were squalid in dress, ignorant
looking and altogether the reporter concluded
that they were taken from the poorer and
lower walks Of life. The reporter had just
obtained from young lady In the party that
she was going to Utah latter q husband"
when the leader came forward and put an end
to the conversation. He gave his name as
Elder j. Morgan, and explained to the re-
porter that converts were frequently dis
suaded from going to their destination by
persons talking to them, and that ON this ae-
count he had interdicted all conversation
In reply to the question where the converts
came from the elder replied: "About fifty of
them came from East Tennessee ard North
Georgia, about thirty Joined US at Decatur,
Ala, and an equal number at Corinth, Miss 2
Reporter is it that these people
wished to leave the States?
Elder Morgan-The men go because it is
the religion OF the world, and it will finally
prevail. The women go because they cannot
get husbands here. Why, my dear sir, there
are 5000 women in Georgia who are unmar-
ried. As soon as we get to Utah all will be
married. There we can worship according to
the dictates Of our own conscience.

About two years ago the British govern

known as ''the New Doomsday Books" show
ing how the country was divided These re-
Turns were made for Conservative govern
ment and are very misleading; but even
four-fifths Of Great Britain is owned by IL. 700
persons; but the figures are very far from
being correct. Many of the large land own
ers are counted over and over again. The
Duke of Buccleuch, for instance, is returned
as fourteen land owners, because he owns
land in fourteen different counties. The
Dukes OF Cleveland and Devonshire. Earl
Howe and Lord Overstone are returned as
forty-four land owners, as these four noble
men have estates in eleven different counties.
