AS stated In last weeks paper Col.
Ben. johnson has been to st. Louis in
the interest of the Railroad from
Gurdon to Camden. We have received
q private letter from him since his
return in which he speaks hopefully of
the prospect of its early completion
even SO far as FL Dorado. Says that he
did all in his power for our county and
thinks that his efforts in our behalf
will yet result to our advantage.
Ben is a live man-puts his whole
soul In everything he undertakes, and

Did YOU ever form the acquaintance
of q legislature-a Louisiana. legisla-
tureLthat did not enact some new law
about printing? Has it ever crept into
your mind that Legislators are nomi-
mated, elected and take their seats In
order that the printing of the country
should be done according to law?
Have you noticed, for instance, that
the next man you meet is as good a
Judge of printing-the kind of type,
quatlrats, rules, dashes, spaces, etc.,
as you are? .fsf' e-lsfF'-f 81
1t is the province of n legislature to
handle the printing question. 1t comes
down In showers. In Louisiana this
printing business overfiows all of our
great men. Send y leading citizen to
the legislature, and he is at once afi-
cted with his knowledge of type.
So, we see, that the General Assem-
bly, has been wrathfully engaged in
discussing the question of printing.
Poor Legislators Reform always be-
gins with newspapers. And yet, should
we count our fingers and toes, the total
would not suffice to enumerate the
multitudinous many who are made
with printers ink. 1t is natural, per.
haps, to scorn the ncwspaper-to burn
the bridge and curse it-but what i'm.
presses us at this moment is that the
members of the General Assembly Of
Louisiana are fearfully mistaken, if nc
higher conception of their duties pos.
sesses them than the small matter OF
State printing. Louisiana did not seek
or ask redemption on the score of
printing. There are some people left
in the State who went further.
Let us not exalt our horn; no res
pectable newspaper should. But in
this busy world, where great men are
scarce, and only 60 to the Legislature,
it occurred to US that we might say
something about printing.

Mr.. BAYARD AS A CANDIDATE FOR
PRESIDENT.
rNew York Sun, 18th ult.l

NEW York Sun. 25th ult.]
We printed yesterday speech de-
livered on the village green at Dover,
In the State of Delaware, on. June u,
1861. The report of the speech, copied
from the Delaware Gazette, is believed
to be full and accurate.
In that speech Mr.. Bayard strongly
opposed coercing the seeding States to
remain in the Union. He declared
himself in favor of allowing these
States to go In peace. "Why, them"
he asked, -"may not two American
confederacies exist side by side, with
out conflict, each emulating the other
in the progress of civilization ?" 81
believe solemnly," he added, ssthat the
war inaugurated by Abraham Lincoln
and his Cabinet is worse than frnitless,
that it will prove more disastrous to
the North than to the South, and
never will accomplish its protested OBJ
jects.n
In our Judgment, no man who en-
tertained and publicly uttered SUCH
sentiments in 1861 can be elected Pres
ident in 1880. All Mr.. Bayard's ac-
lquirements and accomplishments ana
personal qualifications will avail MIN
nothing ut present as candidate ior
that Office. No man who was not
zealously for the war, no man whose
position in reference to the war was
doubtful. will be chosen. Mr.. Bayard
was not in favor of the war; his posi-
ton was not doubtful; he was bitterly
opposed to the preservation of the
Union by force. He must now abide
by the consequences. He cannot es-
cape them. And most decidedly among
these is practical exclusion from the
Office of President.
Many, very many, Of the best men
in the land would rejoice to see Mr..
Bayard in the White House; but with
this fatal speech before them, it would
be cheer madness in the Democratic
party TO nominate him.
If the Republicans succeed In elect
ing their candidate for President this
year, it will be owing wholly to their
), supposed greater loyalty to the Union
and the war. It was Mr.. Conkltng's
vivid sketch of the great and rapidly
advancing power of the Confederate
Brigadiers in the National Legislature
! which first alarmed the Union elemen,
throughout the ever loyal States, and
first set on foot the powerful move
ment for Grants third election.
Grant or any other candidate run by
the Republicans is certain to be elected
unless he is opposed by Democratic
candidate who Was an Out-aHd-Out wal
man. 1t is in this respect that some
would consider even Mr.. Horatio Sey'
mour, otherwise all-powerful, to be
slightly lacking.
For ourselves, we have no persoaSs
preferences. 1t is no time FOR the II
diligence of SUCH preferences when on
free Institutions are in imminent dar
lger of overthrow at the hands OF
ii military despot, unless Grant be d
Al feated.
~ But the Democratic candidate,
=. elected at all, must be elected by IL
NJ votes of the people. And there wi
ia be a great and fatal falling off in tt
Mt number of these votes if u candidate
ne nominated whose loyalty to the Unit
We or whose approval of the war has ev
"a been doubted.
ut To win we must have strong w
81 Democrat. Without such Il candida
nv tho battle for the Presidency will
-ic lost before it is fought.

The bridegroom was not present at
the time appointed for a wedding at
Harmony, Ga. The bride, who knew
his bashfulness, said his courage had
probably failed him. Somebody sug-
gested that u horn be blown to call
him, and this was done. A responsive
whoop was heard from the woods near
by, but the young man did not appear
until scouting party brought him in
by force. 1t was not until he became
fearful of losing the girl, whose patience
gave way to anger, that he mustered
enough courage to face the ceremony.

GEORGIA COTTON FACTORIES.

We recently called attention to the
prosperous condition of the cotton
mills of South Carolina where there
are now 90, 43S spindles in operation,
which require 36 900 bales of cotton to
keep them running full time all the
year.
Georgia leads all the Southern States
in manufacturing enterprise. She now
has in operation 100000 spindles, of
which 10000 were added last year.
Her consumption of cotton during the
last cotton year was 80, S2S bales. AS
over 10 per cent. of her machinery was
idle last year, and it is now all running
on full time, and considerable addi-
lions have been made, we do not
think 10000 bales II high estimate of
her requirements of the raw material
this year. The following from an eX-
change in this connection will be of in
terest:
"Augustu, Ga, has six cotton fac
tories in operation, one in course OF
building, and capital is being raised
for still another, the last two having
24OOO spindles, and to cost $500, 900.
The six factories used last year 10000
bales. Cotton mill stocks are quoted
very high. Last year the mills paid
10 to ~ per cent. dividends, and put
away handsome sums in their sinking
funds for extensions. This new p, OOC
spindle factory will add to tho popula-
ton of the city Mt least 5000 souls, and
will pay to employees $4,000 annu.
ally. These mills make, besides what
they consume, market for 175,OOt
bales of cotton, which requires $4,000,
600 annually to handle.

 The Republican County convention yesterday was a surprise even to the Democrats on account of large at tendance and general responsibility. Proceedings very enthusiastic and unanimous. Following ticket was nominated: Council, J. NJ. Kirkpat rick, of Gro Blanco, H G Rollins, of Tombstone, D B Gillett, of Harshaw, R Gird, of Millville, and F. H. Good win, of Tucson. House-Webster Street, of Tombstone, J Macarthur, of Pajoreto, Thos Hughes, of Critten. den, Alex Blair, of Charleston, A E Jacobs, of Pueblo Viejo, E Burton of Camp Huachuca; J. c Handy, of Tucson; John Haynes, of Tucson; H.

Lyttelton Price, of Tucson. Supervisors, Joseph Tasker Of Tombstone, and c. E. Harlor of Harshaw- County Surveyor, G. T. Raskridge of Tucson. Public Ad ministrator, J H c JValthmoth. The resolutions endorse the National Re publican platform and the nomina- tion of Stewart and Sherman, calls for law making county officers sal aried, favors a division of Pima county, oppose the bullion tax, ex- press the opinion that silver should be received as freely as gold at the hints: and hold the Democrats re- spOnsible for the present defective territorial registration law. In the evening there was a grand ratifica- tion meeting which was largely at tended.

The editor of the Miner says that
 he was present in San Francisco a
 few days since at a conference be tween MT. Chas Crocker, of the s. P.
 R. R., and MT. Henszey manager of the Arizona Central R. R., and says that the A. C.. R. R. will be built as fast as men and material can do
 it. Ali the rails and ties for the first thirty miles of the road have been secured, and satisfactory arrange ments perfected for freighting the same to Maricopa. The rails, 25O car loads, come direct from the East, while the ties, 75, 600, were purchased in San Francisco. MT. Henszv pro- ceeded East in haste in order to send forth, without delay, all tools, pro visions, etc, for the construction men, who are to be Papago and Pima Indians, if they can be utilized as graders, otherwise Chinamen will be brought in. Mechanics for the erection of bridges and to superintend construction will be brought from the East and California. Mir Crocker conceded to the demands of the manager of the X. C. R. R. as to connections at MaricOpa, etc. The road will be completed to Phoenix by the 1st day of February, 1881, in com pliance with the provisions of the Act of 1878, and work continued without halt nntil the road enters the Capital of Arizona at Prescott The route from Phoenix to Prescott will undoubtedly be by the most di- rect line between Wickenburg and Castle Creek to the Hassayampa.

Mere justice towards the means by
 winch the intellectual development
 of the children of Amer1ca is accom-
 plished gives rise to that most logical
 and lasting of all propositions; edu-
 cation must be separated from
 Church and State. What intelligent
 mind, unbiased by trammeled
 of mouldering years, will deny its force and logic?
 When NJ. II. Sherman neither ask ed for, nor received the strict party nomination Of the Republicans, did favor of this aphOrism?
 N. II. Sherman is neither an itin- erant Methodist minister, a farmer or lawyer. He is a school teacher, devoted and eDthusIastic. He has built the school system of Arizona from cOmparati 7ely nothing to very fair proportions. His life work is teaching. He has gained in his own department the devotion of the chil- dren. The intelligent thinkers of Arizona who are not so badly mar ried to either political party that they need accept all the bad with the good, who know that good Demo- cratic or Republican doctrines will teach nothing to their children, can not turn consistently from ". H. Sherman whose record is his best recommendation to Ivy H. Cox, whose record tells another story.
 The office of superintendent Of Public Instruction is one that should certainly be filled by an active, able man. No one who with carefully polished fingers and artistic touch manipulates the party wires-to sc cure the nomination; no one who 1 schemes and plans with petty politi- l clans for an office, so far removed | from party conflicts, is fit to be trus- l ted to dicipline and govern tie chil- | dren of Arizona. Think well of it | voters, and ask yourselves between | now and election, if, by your silent ! voice, next November, this intelli- | gent effective worker in your schools, this man who does not need to be buoyed up by a party vote, lest he sink in the sea of his own failures, l this man who is a teacher. and not | a politician, shall continue 10 hold | the office of Superintendent of Pub lie Schools Tucson Star.
