We see it stated in the papers that General Garfield was visited, last week, by represen- tative Southern Republicans. who urged him to strengthen the party in the South by giving patronage to Republicans. We hope that Gen. Garfield will act very discreetly in the matter of strengthening Southern Republi- canism," If he will give office to nsne but reputable men, we will not complain, but the promotion of such thieves and scoundres as used to hold office under Grant ought not to be countenanced for moment

The telegraph brought news, last week, of the death of the actor Sothern, 90 celebrated in the part of Lord Dundreary. For ten years or more he worked diligently at his art with little popular success; and, even in Lord Dundreary," did not at first make a hit. Soon. however, the joke took, and for many years past his popularity has been immense. Still it is mainly in that single presentation that his reputation has consisted, though he is said to have shown much talent in other charac-

On Tuesday the government coercion bill came up in the Commons The Radicals de- manded of Mr. Gladstone what the land bill would be that would follow. He declined to tell them. An amendment was offered de- manding that reform should precede coercion and an excited debate followed The coercion bills give the government power of arbitrary arrest till September, 1882 While it would seem proper that measures for the suppression of disorder should precede those for reform the practical difficulty is this. The House of Lords will promptly pass the coercion bills and as promptly reject all reform measures. Thus the government will be placed in the predica- ment of doing only the conservative half of
 it's duty. This will naturally and justly give the Radicals great dissatisfaction.
 On Saturday white man named William Webb of Georgetown county, s. C., was tried in the U. s. District Court at Charleston. on a charge of casting twenty-one ballots at the last election.

 The mass of our people were never so con- fcrtable in' their lives or in the lives of their fathers. There are not perhaps as many rich men; there are hundreds of thousands of con, fortable middle-class people. There are fewer mansions on the plantations, there are many more slightly and pleasant cottages on the farms. The people, the great mass of the peo pie of Georgia, were never so well fed, so well clothed, so well housed as now. They are in- creasing in substantial wealth What is more important, they are improving in ali good things. as in the spirit of political and social federation, in hearty support of law. in intelli- gence and morals. =
 The leader of the Dominion Ministry de- clsres that Prof. Hind's charge of falsitied fishery statistics is absurd. He says that,
 The statistical information which was fur nished to the Agent for Great Britain before the Commissisn, at the request of the Imperi- al Goverument by Canadian officials related to two subjects, trade and fisheries. The statis. tics ot the former were compiled from the re- turns which had been laid before the Canadian Legislature session after session for twenty six years. One cannot suppose that the persons engaged in compiling statistics during all these year were engaged in conspiracy to prepare false returns to be used in the fisheries investigation, and not only fig this the fact, but before being placed in the hands of the Impe- rial Government, they were collated with sta- tistical returns of the United States for the same period and the comparison of the returns of the two countries for the long period of twenty-six years showed only diAersnce of few thousand dol lars, strongly establishing the correctness of both with reference to the fisheries returns
