The ANTI Bourbon" Movement In
the SOuth


The New York Times is an ultra Radi-
cal journal, but it is very suspicious of
the recently announced movement on
the part of the administration to capture
doubtful districts in the South. 1t thinks
the Bourbon party" in the South is a
great evil, but the plans proposed for its
rectifcatlon does not meet the approval
OF our New York contemporary. These
plans are that William E. Chandler, who
made such brilliant reputation as
visiting statesman" in the Presidential
campaign OF 1876, can be relied on to
Elk up things" well enough in the
South in the interests Of Radicalism,
while DR.. Brewster, LID, can be
equally relied on to render him valua-
BILE assistance through the Department OF
Justice. In other words, Chandler is to
handle HubbelPs corruption fund, and
DIR. Brewster is to give the necessary or
ders to Deputy United States Marshals
and such to ensure a supply of political
prosecutions as were recently witnessed
in South Carolina.
Our contemporary is right in opposing
these methods for radicalizing the South,
since its opposition is mainly based on
the idea that they will not be successful.
We can assure it they will not be.
The Southern people are not, as a rule,
ready to make sacrifice of principle and
consent that ignorance shall dominate
over intelligence in their section.
Neither have they been reduced to that
point of degradation as to be willing to
be corrupted by Hubbells money. Be-
sides this it will be well for our contem-
porary to remember that Dr. Brewsters
proposed heroic treatment of Bourbon
ism has been tried before and signally
failed. The Department of Gn)Justice
has frequently been called on as means
of bulldozing Southern managers of cleo
tons, and, by that means, of finally decid-
ing the result of the elections. Yet all
such efforts to throttle the rule of the
intelligence of our people has invariably
signally failed.
The efforts of the administration to
thus secure control of the South might
as well be abandoned True, if the next
House of Representatives is Radical, we
will see all sorts of contests for Southern
seats filed, in the hope that there will be
again witnessed another wholesale rob-
berry of such seats. But that the South
will be Democratic and will return
Democratic members, there can be no
doubt. Not all the efforts of Hubbell,
Chandler, Brewster, and their indie
pendent allies combined, can prevent
such a consummation. This section is
infexibly determined not to place itself
under the control of ignorance, but that
its intelligence shall guide its destiny in
the councils of the republic.

The New York correspondent of the
Philadelphia Ledger states that the Re
publican Gubernatorial campaign in that
State is productive of some fresh novelty
almost every day. The latest surprise
is the retirement of the venerable George
Dawson from the editorship of the
Albany EUeniHg Journal. Though the
Ostensible reason for the step is
a desire to throw of the harness
of journalism, yet it is whisper
ed that his recent demonstration
on ex-senator Conkling, in connection
with the alleged attempt of the latter to
bribe the Governor, has led to such com
plications among the Republican machine
mem at Albany, as rendered his retire
ment a political as well as personal neces-
sity. This is the gossip at the clubs.
Conkling, meanwhile, is looming up as
an opponent of Secretary FOlger as the
Republican nominee for Governor.

The Congressional COnVentiOn-HOn
j. L. Warren.

To-Day the fourth consecutive convention
of the Democracy of the First Congressional
district is held In the city of Savannah.
hon. W. B. Fleming, Of Liberty, Hon.
John c. Nichols, of Pierce, and Hon. Geo. r.
Black, of Screven, have been the nominees
of the three conventions already held. Each
of these gentlemen received the votes and
aid of the Chatham delegations, and each
of them had the hearty support at the polls
of the rank and file of the Chatham Demo
crazy. Turn about is fair play. Favors
should be reciprocal. Those who have had
our support should consider our claims.
Chatham now presents as her choice one OF
her own citizens, whom she pronoupces
capable and worthy. He is not an
unknown and untried man. He
has State reputation, won by
honorable public service-for integrity,
ability, energy and fidelity to the interests
and honor of the people of Georgia. He
served as Chairman of the Finance Commit
tee of the House of Representatives in 1875
and 1876, and achieved a reputation worthy
the emulation of any Georgian. la the Con
stitutional Convention of 1877 he bore an
active. prominent and leading part, and pre-
pared the article of the constitution on
taxation, finance and the public debt. He
was the leader of those in favor Of retrench-
ment, reform, economy and the rights of
the masses in that body. He is kind, concil-
iatory and popular IN mis- manners, but I'M
swervingly firm and stern In his viaws of
public duty. A native of the 'Wiregrass"
section, a resident Of the city, he
is familiar with the wants OF the
people of the district In country
and city He will do his duty faithfully and
impartially to all-the least as well as the
greatest. Where best known he Is most
popular. In Savannah, the place of his resi-
dence, he will poll the heaviest vote ever
cast for a candidate. II the nominee of the
convention, his majority In Chatham will ex-
coed 1000 votes. He is the personal friend of
the other candidates for the nomination.
Not one word of unkindness or disparage-
ment of them or their supporters has escaped
his lips, and his friends have, in accordance
with their own sense of right and In compli-
ance with his wishes, pursued the same
course. If nominated he Will make thor.
ough canvass of the district.
The nomination of Josiah l.. Warren as
the standard bearer of the party in the
impending canvass, will be guarantee OF
yictory-Will harmonize all elements, and
secure a hard working, untiriDg Represen-
tative, and sound, true, loyal Democrat,
who understands, loves and viii maintain
the principles of the party. do not dis
parage the claims or underrate the ability
and ability of other gentlemen, but under
all the circumstances of the case, beg to
submit these points to the calm, impartial
and patriotic consideration OF the conven-
ton. SAVANNAH.

The employees of one great industry
appear to have discovered at last the &C
tual results of protective duties. The
workmen of the Trenton potteries have
asked Congress to reduce the duties on
pottery to a revenue basis. They de-
clare that their wages are neither main.
tanned nor increased by protection, that
the employers absorb the advance in
prices rendered possible by the high du-
ties, and that the only effect of protec.
ton upon workingmen is to increase the
cost of living. They further assert that
a reduction of duties would decrease the
market rates of pottery, and as any de-
crease Of cost is always followed by an
increase of consumption, they would
have more steady employment.

When single round costs nearly $500, what
must days bombardment have cost?
A correspondent of the Providence Press
says that at the last garden party Of the
Grand Union, at Saratoga, Philadelphia
lady, Mrs. Albert H. Moore, bore eff the
palm for expensiveness in dress. She wore
a rose point lace overdress, including bus
tie and skirt, also point lace stockings, the
whole valued at $1,000. With these she
wore diamonds in such profusion that their
value was variously estimated at from $4O,-
600 to $780, She was a young, good
looking matron, and her handsome hus-
band kept ker close on his arm, while a
detective in citizens dress, followed step
In her rear.
Mr.. John Sullivan, able pugilist, has had
narrow escape. Oae Henry Stanley, Of
Alexandra, La, was intending to challenge
him to a fistic encounter-none of your soft
glove affairs, but a genuine brutal mauling
match. But the day before Mr.. Stanley's
hacker had agreed to indite formal def
snce to the Boston boy Stanley became in
volved in dispute with Louisiana citizen,
whom few moments later he felt called
upon to strike with his naked fist. The
blow was so powerful that its recipient
dropped dead. If Mr.. Sullivan should ever
meet this muscular Stanley he may wish
that he had cleaved to base ball and left
boxing alone.
The Sutro Tunnel, now completed, dis
charges 3 1000, 900 gallons Of hot water daily
from the Comstock mines. This water has
temperature OF 1875 degrees, and is con-
veyed through a closed pine flume to pre-
vent the escape of VaDOr. After a passage
of four miles through the first tunnel 1t
loses 70 degrees of heat. A second tunnel
1,1C0 feet long and an open water way a
mile and half long coISuct the water to
Carson river. Along its course are hot
water baths and laundries, and plan is on
foot to conduct the hot water through pipes
under ground to be made available for pur-
poses of irrigation and for supplying artif-
cial heat to hot houses.
From the budget of the German Empire
for the current period the following in
teresting particulars have been extracted:
The entire budget amounts to 601, 537, III
marks, or about 93O, 376, 73S. The chief item
of revenue is derived from customs and in
direct taxes, and is $4,000, 900, or more
than half the total, and among the lesser
items are these: The military pensions fund,
100000; postal and telegraphs, 81, 1C0,C-0;
stamp office, e950,000 railways, e630, 600,
and surplus of the tax on sugar from the
preceding budget, 100000. Inclusive of
a sum of e5l0,C00 for unforeseen expenses,
the expenditures just balances the receipts.
1t comprises &l8,7C0,000 for the army,
81, 800, 900 for the navy, ga, SOC, COO for the
treasury, 92,000,0 900 for the pension fund,
9340, 900 for the Foreign Office, and $780,
600 for railways.

Hon. Emery Speer has been heard
from at last. He has written letter to
Mr.. Allen Gambler, his Democratic op
ponent for Congress in the Ninth dis
trict, in which, after reminding Mr..
Gambler that he (Speer) was an Indepen-
dent, while he (Mr Candler) was the
nominee of the regular Democratic Con-
vention of his district, he extends an in
vitation to him to make a joint canvass
of the district. This invitation Mr..
Gambler declines. He tells the young
NJ. G. that he was truly nomi
mated by a convention of intelligent
patriotic white men chosen by the Demo
cratic party, and he has accepted the
nomination. Since Mr.. Speer also calls
himself Democrat, Mr.. Gambler says
very rightly there is no political issue
between them, and he rather prefers to
appeal TO the sober reason and judgment
of the people than TO their prejudices
or passions.

Late Crop AdVIces.
Boston Advertiser

The latest crop sdvices are highly encour-
aging, the supply of breadstuffs being SO
enormous that prices begin to yield. 1t Is
probably within reasonable bounds to caleu-
late on wheat supply OF SIS, 900, 600 bush
els, and on q corn supply of 1850, 000,-
600 or 1850, 900 bushels, against
100000, 600 bushels OF wheat and l, 20O,-
100000 bushels of corn In 1881, and
50O,OOO,0OO bushels Of wheat and
zoo, 0O0. 900 bushels of corn in 1880. Sew
eral Southern States will probably export
breadstuffs, and the South at large will i'm
port less than ever before. Michigan
has suffered a heavy loss in wheat,
but this loss is more than bal
anced by the crops of other States.
Illinois, for instance, will produce over so,
100000 bushels OF wheat; Oregon will have
nearly 10, OO0, 900 bushels for export purposes
alone. Over sea the surplus OF Hungary
will be about $4,000. 600 bushels of wheat,
while the English wheat crCp will be far less
than that of the two States of Illinois and
Indiana. The export Of this crop begins
very slowly and gradually, but bids fair to
be strong, as we can easily dispense with
200. OOO, 900 bushels OF wheat and over 100,-
100000 bushels of corn, and these are need
ed for Europe.

Calculations as to the complexion of
the next House are premature, but the
New York Sun figures thusly: 1t
gives tables to show that in House of
325 members the relative proportions OF
members, when considered as pqrtisans,
will be: Democrats, 179; Republicans.
139; Independents Ia Democratic ma
iority over all of thirty-three Texas is
given eleven solid Democratic Represen-
tatives; Tennessee nine Democrats out
of ten; South Carolina six out of seven;
Georgia nine out of ten, and Missouri
thirteen out Of fourteen. Virginia is
oiven eight Democrats, one Republican
and one Independent. The Sun gives
the Democrats all the close districts in
illinois, Indiana, Ohio, New York, and
Peppsylvania, and notes that the redis-
trietinp OF Kentucky and Missouri adds
i've 10 the Democratic strength. Maine
is credited with four Independents, and
Alabama, Florida and Virginia with one
each.

Thus far, throughout New York State,
50 delegates have been chosen to the
Republican State Convention, and these
are classified IS follows: For Cornell,
80; Folger, IS; Wadsworth, 70; Wood.
5; doubtful, >. This, says correspond
ent, is a bad outlook for a majority
for Mr.. Cornell, if he intends to
remain in the race. In New York
city, 1t is stated, there is no probability,
from present appearances, that he will
be able to control more than dozen dis
tricts, while in Brooklyn his chances
would seem to be even more unpromis-
ing. The clamor for "WadswOrth" in
some quarters is believed to be but a
cover for some clark horse, which will
make his appearance in due time.
