THE MOoNsHINERs OF NORTH
GEoRGIA.-A correspondent with
TIE officers of the revenue service
engaged in raiding the moonshinerS
of Northern Georgia, says The life is
iraught with as much danger as that
of frontiersman among hostile In
dians. In Rahun county the moon,
sinners have raised purse of $500
for the Deputy Collectors head, and
innumerable attempts have been
made upon the lives of the entire
force. This state of affairs has grown
out of the suspensions of sentence
and nolle prosequis granted on prom.
ises of OF eying the laws. Yet, the
very men are now engaged in Illicit
distiling. The officers, during their
passage through the mountains, are
continually fired upon by the dis
tillers, who, better acquainted with
the country, occupy positions they
cannot be driven from. A party of
moonshiners ten miles north of Clay
ton sent the collector a defiant mes
sage, stating that they are now run.
ming ten stills, and requesting him
to send force after them, as they
desired to kill his men and keep their
horses. There are four parties Of
officials engaged in the pursuit of the
distIllers in Georgia. From three of
them no news has been received, and
grave fears are entertained that they
have been overpoWered.

1t has been noted as sOmephat re-
markable that not peep has been
heard from Garcelon since he return
ed to practice" Several theories
have been advanced to explain this
sudden transition from garrulous no.
toriety to sperchless obscurity. One
is that the whole Democratic party
being very sick, he has had more
practice than he could well attend to.
A more satisfactory explanation has
been made by wit of Augusta to
this effect: Garcelon had been told
times enough that he was blank
fool, but he never would believe it
till he got certificate from the Su-
prpme Court" That covers the case.

views. The growth of modern fiction
IS only to be explained as owing to
the spread of the newspaper. A
novel like "Middlemarch, )" or the
"Vicar of Wakefield" deals with
real life; romance, such as "The
Arabian Nights,'' deals with the
marvellous, the extraordinary, the
fantastical. The press has been
great developer Of them both. The
newspaper not only portrays char
acter but the growth of character.
Even the manners and mo ais
of society are affected by it, and the
portrayal Of the habits of good socie-

stories of great criminals are far less
dangerous than contact with the
criminals themselves. The newspa.

tue sttriuard of nationality, the
Southern leaders concluded to secede.
They went out flying the flag of State
supremacy, but turned in a few
months to repu1iate the doctrine and
assert the power and infallibility of
the government.
Mr.. Douglass, in tracing the history
OF reconstruction, calls attention to
the fact that at the close of the war
the people of the South were utterly
and completely whipped. They were
prepared then to accept any terms
offered them, and there was no loud
talk Of the tyranny Of the North in
not giving them their political rights.
But when the old leaders came again
to the front, all propositions coming
from the General Government were
rejected-n0t because they were not
just, but simply because they came
from The North. In 1865 the South
asked nothing in 1868 it wanted to
control the government it had sought
to destroy, and since that date it has
labored to restore the supremacy of
the ante bellum days.
Describing some of the methods
res0rted to by the Democrats to regain
control in the South, Mr.. Douglass
confines himself to the operations of
the Ku kluX tn at came under his
own observation in North Carolina.
and to the system OF intimidation
and fraud that gave the State to the
Democrats. In this connection. he
states that Governor Holden, who
first inaugurated measures to suppress
the Ku KluX Khan, is the only man
in North Carolina under a political
disability to held State office. The
Democratic Legislature that passed
bill giving general and L,plete
amnesty and pardon to the Ku klux,
refused to pass IA bill extending the
same amnesty to Holden.
The story Of how the Republican
majorities in North Carolina and
other Southern States were destroyed
has been told again and again. Mr..
Douglass gives it more picturesque
ness of detail, and leaves on the mind
a more VIVID impression. After
telling the story, he says:
put it strongly because | feel 1t
strongly. Remember that for ten
long years L was a Southern Repub-
li,'an. l lived through and among
the scenes / have described. | have
seen the whip, the knife. and the
shot gun, and the halter in the hands
of the Ku klux, and then, turning, /

fess a savage Joy stole over me, tho
l had fought for Hayes upon many IA
heated stump; for | felt now God is
dealing out to the North portion of
what the North has permitted to I've
dealt out to US.
Mr.. Douglass believes that the
Democracy have but one end in view,
and that is to rule. They do not look
to the moral aspect of question I;
they only ask, will it bring success :?
rhey will dare do anything to bring
success. ''There is but one thing left
for them to take--the Presidency,
and with it the entire control of the
government"

A Douglass to the Front.

great Democratic leader of 1860, who

was born in the South, educated "A

TALMAaE ON THE CHINESE.

Ihe following sermon by Dr. Tai
mage, on the Chinese question, is an
able defense of our almond eyed
brethren of Asia. While it be-
speaks an extremists views, it shows
how this great question is regarded
by the enlightened sentimentalists
of the East. The discourse was de.
livered in Brooklyn, N. Y, Sept.
10Th, on a text from Luke K. 20.
"Who is my neighbor ?"
THE CHINESE IN AMERICA.
A keen lawyer had Christ under
cross. examination, and this was one
of the questions. Christ's answer
enlarged the idea of neighborhood,
and the idea has been enlarging
ever since. It once seemed 6gure
of speech to call people on the other
side of the earth our neighbors, but
nations are so rapidly intermixed.
Steam power from Southampton to
New York, from China to San Fran
cisco, and iron tracks across the con-
tinents and cables under all the seas
make the world one neighborhood.
Is the Chinaman neighbor ? Does
he belong to the race Of which God
is the Father? Is he q brute or an
immortal How ought you to treat
him Must he be welcomed or
driven back Will he help or hurt
US These important questions are
pressed upon the attention Of this
nation and decide them we must,
and decide them we will. 1t will be
as agitating a question in Brooklyn
as in San Francisco. / want to have

Of my summer observation in Cali

has become o tremendous factor.
Arriving in San Francisco Satur-
day, August z, had been but few
moments in the hotel when the high.
est officers in the State called upon
me in the interest of the anti. Chi
nese sentiment. From that time,
and for many days, from morning
till night, there was scarcely a half
hour in which, by committee or doc.
ument or letter, the subject was not
presented. The Chinese quarters,
called Chinatown, are shown to most
Eastern people who get to Califor-
MIA. The papers this week say that

town, but the toughest part was
covered up so that he should be de-
ceived as to how bad it was. No
one can say that of my inspection,
for it was the one interest of the
gentlemen who took me there to
make me see the worst side. The
Eve gentlemen who took me there
were openly opposed to the Chinese
emigration. DR.. Mears, a most
ooliging gentleman, the President of
the Board Of Health, went with me
at the request of the Mayor, and
there is no man on the continent
more pronounced against the Chi.

are more fesrfully crowded than the

face to face, in their Opera-house.
If their 300 police, together with an

they could break up the last iniquity
of Chinatown. Do you tell me that
100000 law. abiding people of San
Francisco could not pat down the
10000 bad people =? From my OBJ
servation this summer and ten years
ago, give as my opinion, an opin.
ion in which thousands Of the mer--
chants and clergy and best people Of
California agree, that Of all the for
eign population who have come to
our shores within the last forty years
none have come more cleanly, more
industrious, more sober, more cour-
teous, more harmless, more genial
than che Chinese. l have in my
possession long list of affidavits by
the FIRST farmers, merchants. manu-
facturers and professional gentlemen
of California, testifying as to their
integrity, and hard work, and ingen.
uity, and love of good order. They
have no equals as launorymen, and
in many of the homes was told
they had no rivals as house help.
One of them, was told, would do
the work of three ordinary servants.
tits objected Of them that they
underbid other workmen, being able
to live cheaper than other nationali-
ties. Mistake They get higher
wages in many departments. No
such wages are paid in Brooklyn for
domestic services as are paid to Chi.
nese servants in California. So far
from hurting the compensation OF
others, they have made possible vast
enterprises, which have given EN-.
ployment to other people. But sup
pose that in any case they did un.
derbid ? II you turn them out on
that account then you ought to turn
out all those people who work the
sewing machine, or reaper, or bay
rack, since these machines underbid
tens of thousands of hard working
people 10 toll only with the hand.
But It that refutes all these
storiz ut the ruinous competi.
ton le Chinese is that wages
have Ueen higher in California than
in any State of the Union. When
there are 10000 Chinese in New
York and Brooklyn, as there will be,
there will be just as large wages for
all our people, and more prosperity
than now; for then, instead of one
million people, we shall have
THREE OR FOUR MILLIONS.
Again, it is objected that the Chi.
neso do not spend their money where
they make it. False again They
pay rent in San Francisco for resi-.
dence, wash houses, and so on, a..
100000 yearly. Would You not
consider $2,4oO,0OO added to the in.
