NEW YORK INDEPENDENT RE-
PUBLICAN REVOLT.

If there is trouble in the Demo
cratic ranks in New York, there is
trouble in the Republican also. The
Tammany Democrats long since an
nounced their determination NOT to
vote for Gov. Robinson. The lnde~
pendent Republicans now announce,
in like manner. their determination
not to vote for Mr.. Cornell 10 their
letter addressed to the Union
League Club they arraign Mr.. Cor
nell for want of business capacity,
for Encouragement of the custom
house when he was Naval Officer of
the port, and for his course as Chair
man of the State Republican Com
mittee in abusing his trust by pack
ing, 10 his own interest, the conven-
ton that nominated him. They OPP
pose the re. election of Gen. Grant,
or the use Of his name "as a cloak
for the return to power of the selfish
ard disgraceful clique who through
their corruption brought shame to
every American" They believe
that the only safe way to provide
against these evils is to elect the Re
publican State ticket without Mr..
Cornell, and thus defeat both the
Tammauy and the Republican
machine, and clear the way for the
retention in the Republican ranks
of that body of Independent Repub-
lican voters by whose aid in 1880
the success of the Republican candi~
date for the Presidency, and the af-
frmation of the principles and prac-
tees of the national supremacy,
sound finance and administrative re-
form may be assured. This revolt
of the anti,Cornoll wing of the ReN
publican party 10 New York is be-
ginning to create uneasiness, and
will certainly offsett, in some meas
ure, the bolt of Kelly and his adher-
ents on the Democratic side.

sTEPHENs ON KELLY.

When Alexander II. Stephens,
who has an enthusiastic admiration
for Mr.. Kelly, was last in this city,
he remarked as follows to a number
of gentlemen who called to pay their
respects to the celebrated old Geor-
gian at Mir. Johnson's in Sixty
fourth street: "Jobn Kelly whom |
have known intimately for many
years, is one Of the truest aud most
sagaciOus statesman on this conti-
uent. He is thoroughly pure and
incorruptible man, and reminds me
more than any other man of this
age of honest old Nat Macon, whom
Jefferson called the last of the Ro
mans There are but two things"
added Mr.. Stephens, (which can
possibly prevent John Kelly from
exerting q powerful influence for
| good 10 State and National politics
and making great impression upon
the times in which we live One
would be his death, and the other
his refusal to take further part in
public effairs. "-NeaO Y0rk STIR.
Mr.. Stephens expressed quite q
different view of John Kelly while
| in Marietta the other day. lie
thought KeIly's action every fool
isb," and that the division of the
democrats in New York was caIcu,
lated to prove disastrous to demo-
cratic success. So it seems, Mr..
KeIly's powerful influence" instead
of being welded for ''good," is be-
ing welded every foolishly," and
that his non-refusal to ia ke further
part in public affairs, is what is
working mischief in New York.
We must admit that Mr.. Stephens
depreciation of democratic division
in New York, is quite inconsistent
with his acts and influence in thf
last race in Georgia. After all
though, great men are allowed tc
change their opinions when its suits
their convenience, for Bob Toombl
says she who never changes hit
opinion, is fool"--therefore, Mr..
Stephens and mir, Kelly are MOI
fools.

General ToOmbs has been in At,
lanta for several days past riding
his hobby-railroad Legislation. He
talks about it increasingly and seems
to grow more and more intolersnt of
corporations. BY the way, there
seems to be a Iull in the Guberna-
tional "boom." 1t may be all hiS
fault that this is thus, for he surely
does not want the office 1t could
not bring him additional honor and
any man who takes that chair 10 the
present state of politics in Georgia
bids farewell to peace and sets him
self up as target for small politi'
clans to shoot their sharpest arrows
at. 1t is a poor office with a three
thousand dollars salary and politi>
cal coffin for man who dares to
take it, Chronicle and C0nStitu

THE interest bill, as amended and
finally passed both Houses, reduces
the conventional rate of interest from
twelve to eight per cent, and the le-
gal rate remains at seven per cent.
The most important feature is il
throws the onus upon the plaintiff to
show that no illegal interest is exact
ed.
The House passed the bill reduc-
ing the fee for inspecting fertilizers,
which was reported adversely to on
the third reading. The price will
be fixed at Is cents.

JASPER.

William Jasper sprang from an
embrasure in the hottest of the en-
gagement at Fort Moultrie on June
IS, l776, and with shot and she'll
falling around him, held the fallen
flag aloft until the staff was ieplac
ed. lie was then rs years of age
Being offered a commission he de-
c.ined it. Three years later, on
Oct. ., 1879, he leaped upon a par
apet under a fierce fire, at the mo-
meut of assault on Savannah, and
bore off the coIors of his regiment.
But he was wounded fatally and died
that day. Last Thursday the cen,
tennial anniversary of the brave sol
dier's death was celebrated at Sa-
vannah. The corner stone of a
monument was laid, and Gen. John
B. Gordon delivered a fitting ora
ton of the grand heroism of Jasper.
Il was a speech eloquent and besuti-
ful and worthy of the highest praise.
Some 10000 people were present
and was an occasion long to be re-
membered.

The Inter- Ocean, answering a

she will find a wide field, abundant
opportunities, and-small pay" By

You must be ready

The newest service rendered by
monkeys to mankind was recent
illustrated 10 London. In one of the
school districts too many parents re
ported no children in their families,
and in order to ascertain the real
number of children in the district
the school officers resorted to an in
genious measure. Two monkeys
were gayly dressed, put in wagon,
and, accompanied by brass band,
we're carried through the streets of
the district. At once crowds of
children made their appearance.
The procession was stopped in a
park, and the school officers began
their work distributing candies to
the youngsters, they took their
names and addresses They found
out that over sixty parents kept their
children from school. The ingenious
measure brought to the schools about
200 boys and girls.

The price of land is said to be
steadily increasing in the orange,
producing sections of Florida, owing
to the fact that large number of
new settlers have come into the
State. These are chiefly young
men who have been out of employ
ment, aud have set industriously to
work planting new orange groVeO.
The crop promises to be unusually
large, and bids are already making
for the yields Of entire fields. 1t is
hoped that the fruit viii bring as
good price as last ear, which was
the best obtained sigce the war.
