JOURNALISM AND JOURNALS.
Daniel Webster is reported to have
once used these words:


once used these words:
Small is the sum required to patron
ize newspaper; amply rewarded are
it's patrons. / care not how humble and
unpretending the gazette which he
takes, it is next to impossible to fill it
out without putting into it something
that is worth the subscription price.
Journalists are very often in the habit
of praising their own profession, of des-
canting upon the power and influence of
the press, of continually DINING into
the ears of its readers the good it has
done, the many reforms it has accom-
plished, the helping hand that it has
lent to art, literature and the sciences,
the blessing that it has been to humanity
in general. Consequently when they
find great man using such language,
they become more than ever conscious
of their importance, and the little waif
is copied from one end of the land to
the other. And yet it is not entirely
true. A paper that gives the news of
the day in concise, clear, readable and
attractive form, that is well digested in
all its parts, that never slouches its
work, but continually labors hard and
faithfully to gather the news and then
what is almost as important-to pre-
sent it to its readers in a pleasing shape
such paper is well worth much
more than its subscription price. But
poor journal, one containing scarcely
any news, and that bungled and botched
in fashioning-we fail to see wherin
subscribers can get back therefrom the
value of their money. A good journal
is no more of a blessing than bad one
is of an evil. Because music in itself
is grand, that is no reason why all
musicians are deserving of patronage.
Neither because journalism in itself is a
blessing should all journals be consider
ed deserving of support. Sacramento |

GORHAMS RAILROAD COMMlS-
SIONER. @rs#

The organs of monopoly are striving
hard to cast faint upon Gorham's re-
cord as Republican. He is charged
with deserving the party in California
in the heat of a political campaign.
The facts of the case are that he demand
ed pledge of the men nominated as
Railroad Commissioners. They refused
to take the pledge. Gomham announced
in the convention that he would make
the anti railroad pledge squarely and
unequivocally. When the tickets were
placed in the field, Gorham found but
one r. r. Commissioner who would
put himself on record against the Gen.
trail Pacific monopoly, and that was Gen
eral Stoneman. Gorham supported him
and he was elected. When the test came
Stoneman stood squarely to his promise
and with the people, the other two sold
themselves to the monopoly. This was
GOrham's great political crime.
The late venerable and eloquent DR..
LOvick Pierce, who never missed a
chance, during ministry of IS years,
to do the negroes good, was preaching
once on Christian Progress at camp
meeting. It was his manner to make
astonishing climaxes now and then.
On this occasion he laid down the law of
life and death in Christian experiences:
"Brethren, you must grow or die. Pro-
gress you must make. If you can fly,
fly; if you can't fly, rur; if you can't
run, walk; if you can't walk, crawl"
His voice was rising to his full trum-
pet tones, and his eye flashing as few
eyes ever flashed. His right hand was
still high advanced. The congregation
trembled for him What could he say
more? But he was the master of such
crisis. He wound up the sentence with
an explosion like thunder: off you can't
crawl-worm it alongv'
General Sherman has always been
credited with having conceived the
idea of the march from ssAtlanta to the
sea-" It is now said, however, that in
overhauling the official records in
Washington lately cipher dispatch
was found from General Burndside,
when in command at Knoxville, to
General Halleck, proposing march by
way Of Atlanta to the seaboard, the
army to cut loose from its base of supplies,
move without trains, and subsist on
the country. The telegram was sent
in September, 1864 year before |
Sherman's march took place.

THE EVENT IN EGYPT.-The boxing
of NJ. De B!ignier's ears by Arab Bey,
the leader of the mutinOus native sol
diery of Egypt, is an event of no incOn-
siderable importance, since the former is
the representative of France in the joint
control of Egyptian finances by France
and England. 1t is evident that the Bey
has made a great mistake Governments
like to invest the person of their repre-
sentatives with peculiar and special sane
tity, and it is difficult to see how the
French Government can vindicate its
dignity without such decided action
against the insurgent Colonel as will put
an end to his political career. The Incl
dent referred to has, however, a graver
significance than this 1t is one of many
recent events showing the strained con-
dition of the relations of the natives and
foreigners in Egypt, and may be viewed
as an indication of coming trouble for
the French and English in the land of
the Nile.

Summary of National Bank Failures.

From the report of Comptroller Knox
it appears that in addition TO the Me
chanics' National Bank of Newark and
the Pacific National Bank of Boston,
there have been, since the institution of
the national bank system, SO failures of
national banks, or, to speak in the terms
of the report, 66 have been placed in
the hands of receivers prior to Novem-
Der 1, 1881" The claims proved against
these banks aggregated $25, 966 6O2, of
which SIS, SCI. Cos, or about 20 pr cent.
has been repaid to creditors Of the
81, 601, $50 of assessments ltYe ed on
shareholders for the purpose
of enforcing their individual liability
but s., 600, 900 has been collected. The
affairs of twelve banks which failed prior
to November /, 1880, have during the
year just past been closed with this re-
suit: That one of them was able to pay
60 per cent. of its obligations. another
60. @ per cent, another SASS per cent,
another 100 per cent, without interest,
and the remaining eight principal and

Newark and Boston banks still in the
hands Of receivers credited with divi-
dends paid to their creditors of from %
to 100 per cent.

Bleeding Kansas,

A Western exchange reports that the
indications are that before long appeals
for help will be heard from Western
Kansas. The crops for the third time
have been a failure. Early in the season
The promise of a bOuntiful crop was
good, but in short time the drought,
hot winds, chintz bugs and potato bugs
swept it nearly all away. 1t is said that
some localities are entirely destitute of
corn AID potatoes, and very few if any
places realized more than one bushel
where hundred we're looked for. While
in some portions of Western Kansas a
little wheat was saved, in others there
is no crop of any kind. The
distress resulting from this general
failure of the crops has induced,
it is said, many of the people to tempo
rarily leave the country. OF the fami-
lies remaining, many of the men have
gone hundreds of miles, to Colorado and
elsewhere, TO seek work, in order TO
obtain means to live through the winter.
Some of the people are already reported
to be in a destitute condition, needing
food, clothing and fuel. These can only
be obtained for money, and all, especi-
ally food, even Of the cosrsest kind. com
mand very high price. 1t is not IN
likely that these reports of distress in
Kansas may be found to be exaggerated,
as were some of those made last year,
and in that case the people of Kansas
will themselves be able to provide all
needed assistance.

THE NEW ATTORNEY GENERAL
Hon. Benz, Harris Brewster, who has
been confirmed as Attorney General, is
a lawyer of considerable distinction, and
has for many years occupied prOmi
nent position at the Philadelphia bar,
He is also we'll known as a platform ora
tor, and he often appears at college COM
mencements and other anniversaries
where fine literary performances are ex-
pected. He was born in 1916, and is
consequently well advanced in years, al
though in appearance and action, and
especially in dress, he gives the impress
sion of man who has still a great deal
of the enthusiasm and buOyancY of
youth. Up to the breaking out of the
war Mr.. Brewster was staunch Demo
crat. lie often attended the National
Democratic Conventions, and maintain
ed intimate relations with a number of
the leading Southern statesmen of the
ante bellum period. His wife is daugh-
ter of the late Hon. Robert J. Walker,
of Mississippi.

Southern Literature.

The whole country knows MIR. James
Barron Hope, editor of the Norfolk
(Virginia) landmark BE is a gentleman
who years before the war enjoyed
reputation as a scholar and thoughtful,
vigorous writer, second to none not only
in the South but in the entire country,
and. as is well known, this reputation
he has but recently proven his ample
ability to sustain through his universally
admired and patriotic ode read at the
late Yorktown Centennial.
Commentator from the pen of such
man as Mr.. Hope, therefore, means
something, and the following article,
published in a late issue of his paper,
under the caption CA Meritorious En-
terprise, is gratifying and encouraging
in the extreme:
Ever since we were a boy we have
heard people declare that we ought to
encourage Southern literature, and the
very men who made the declaration
rarely bought Southern book, when it
was offered, or subscribed to a Southern
magazine The old Literary Messenger
and Russell both persisted of neglect, and
De B0p's ReCielo was the only magazine
that ever fiourished among US. The
reason of this was to be found in the
fact that it offered an audience to gen.
tlemen who had political essays to get
before the public, and the reward
they got was found in the hear
h rorFsra IN
those days we stood politically on the
defensive, and the arena Ct public affairs
engaged our men of genius. Then, too,
we backed the machinery publishing
houses, and above all we backed the re-
cognition of the fact that there should
be compensation for literary pursuits.
Much of this has changed, VIC are no
longer driven into politics. and in the
new order of things we are developing a
literary class. But this class, capable of
doing much to vindicate our long abused
civilization, labors under many and seri-
Gus disadvantages. The business of pub
fishers is almost exclusively monopOliZed
at the North, and hence those who might
adorn our literature are at great disad-
vantage, being on the wrong side Of
the literary Tweed And hence it is
that any man who comes forward to re.
.lieve US of this deserves great praise,
abundant thanks. and cordial support
Such man is ]. H. Estill, of Savannah.
We have not the pleasure of knowing
this gentleman, but in the Savannah
WEEKLY News, and the publications he
issues from the pens of native writers, he
is doing yeoman's service in the cause of
Southern literature. He has published
ten books of imagination from authors
born and reared on Southern soil, and all
he needs is encouragement to make him
benefactor to his State and section.
1.-The Savannah WEEKLY News is the
vehicle he uses in first putting the writ
ings of our literary people before the
public, and the price of this paper is only
81 per anuum. From this the Morning
Neos Library issues, and we appeal to
the cultivated people of the South to
show their love of letters by their works,
for to help Mr.. Estill's generous scheme
of Southern publications is to aid in
relieving our section from an old and
oft repeated sneer of our enemies that art
languishes and literature dies on South
ern soil.

A Dangerous Rill.

At the opening of the present session
of Congress Mr. Logan, stalwart, OF
Illinois, introduced a bill providing that
Gin recognition of the eminent public
services of Ulysses s. Grant, late Gen.
eral of the Army, the President be, and
he hereby is authorized to nominate and,
by and with the advice and consent OF
the Senate, to appoint him to the army
with the rank and grade of General. to
be placed on the retired list, with pay
accordingly. All laws and parts OF laws
in conflict herewith are suspended for
this purpose only" The bill was re-
ferred to the Military Committee of the
Senate, which passed and reported Ia
vorably upon it by party vote of D
against 3-Senators Logan, Cameron Of
Pennsylvania, Harrison, Sewel and
Hawley in the affirmative; Cockrell,
Maxey and Grover in the negative, and
Hampton absent.
This is a dangerous bill. 1t is adroitly
drawn with contingencies and an object
10 view. The design is not to make
Grant a pensioner, for he is rich and
not in need of money, but to restore the
rank of General in his person alone. and
make him an officer of the army who
may be called from the retired list by a
stalwart President and assigned to active
duty with that rank whenever the stall
wart President may think an emergency
presents itself and requires such mill
tary despotism as was witnessed during
the reconstruction period when Grant
was General and General in Chief.
The revised statutes now provide
that officers of the army on the
retired list shall constitute a part
of the army of the United States. They
further provide that when vacancy
occurs in the Office of General or Lieu
tenant General, such Office shall cease,
and all enactments creating or regulating
such office shall, respectively, be held to
be repealed" The half breeds would Go
well to study the phraseology of Mr.. LO-
gan's bill to restore the rank and grade
of General Grant, and the army regula-
tons which President Arthur may con-
sirue to warrant him in placing Grant in
supreme military command again. Mr..
Logan's bill means mischief.
