MIR. BLAINE TO THE SOUTH.
THURSDAY MORNING, JAN. -, 1882

The following letter from eX-Secretary
Blaine, dated Washington, December 23rd,
and addressed to Hon. II. 1. Kimball, was read
at the close of the Atlanta Exposition on the
31st ultimo:
DEAR SIR : 1t is a source of sincere regret
with me that am not able to visit your Cot
ton Exposition in response to the very cordial
invitation with which l have been honorcd.
The pressure of public and private engagements
has rendered it impossible. congratulate the
people of Georgia and of the whole country
upon the great success that has attended the
enterprise. 1t is evidence of a reconstruction
of material prosperity throughout the South
that is gratifying to every patriotic man.
Good government is essential to prosperity
among the people and, in truth, prosperity
among the people is the safest guarantee OF
good government. Discomfort will always
breed disorder Contentment upholds the
reign of law For forty years preceding the
late war the Northern and Southern people
were continually growing apart, with different
aims and different interests, cherlshlng dit
ferent hopes and looking to different destines.
In the last few years they have been coming
together, and it is safe to say that at no time
since the slavery agitation of 1920 have they
been as closely united and as cordially related
as to-day We have a stronger, broader, deep
er patriotism and loftier and worthier pride
in the citizenship of the great republic We
have one country, and it is our country.
''From Maine to Georgia" once typifed the
extremes of antagonism. Maine and Georgia
can now Interchange visits in a single week,
and-let there be no strife between us, 'fOl
we be brethren.'' Sincerely yours.

VIRGINIA,S NEW GOVERNOR.

Governor Cameron, the Readjuster Govern
or of Virginia, sent in his first message to the
General Assembly last Friday. AS conveying
the objects and principles of the Readjus-
ter party, from the Governors standpoint,
we print the following synopsis OF his mes
sage:
He recommends the adoption, without un-
necessary delay, of measures which shall pro-
vide for the discharge of the public obligations
upon the basis set forth in an Act passed by
the last General Assembly and known as the
''Riddleberger Bill" Great misapprehensioN
exists, he says, as to the purpose of the peo-
pie of Virginia i'll regard to the final settle
ment of all controversy concerning the State
debt. AS he understands the views and will
of the people, they do not intend to repudatc
any just obligation, but to assume and pay
that portion of the principal which is properly
chargeable to the present State OF Virginia,
and to restore ali classes of creditors to a plan
of equality The true indebtedness of the
State, he says, should be determined by COM
putting full interest to datc>of settlement from
the period when Virginia lost control of and
ceased to draw revenue from the territory en-
braced in West Virginia. Second, by credit
ing against the sum total of the principal and
interest so obtained acknowledged payments Oh
both accounts made by Virginia since the par
tition of her territory. If this shall be done,
and provision made for the liquidation of the
amount so found to be due, no charge of repu-
diation can be laid at the door Of the people of
this commonwealth as to the rate of interest
which can and should be paid on the princi-
pal so ascertained and assumed. The Govern
or says that parties in the State are agreed
that the present rate of taxation cannot be in
creased and that careful estimates establish the
proposition that three per cent. is the largest
rate of interest that can be provided for with
certainty. The Governor continues eve
are supported in this conclusion not only by
the financial experience of many years, but
also by the fact that the proposed interest is
as great as the average rate paid by the debtor
class of the world on the public securities of
the preSeut day."

THE EDGEFIELD EXODUS.

According to the last issue of the Edgetield
advertiser, the extent of the negro exodus from
that county has been greatly magnitied. The
number of negroes who have actually left the
county is stated by the ADVERTISER to be about
eight hundred or thousand, instead of five
thousand, as has been published The hegi-
IA lasted only during Christmas week and
has stopped. Stripped of all the glamour Of
the special reporters pencil, the Advertiser
gives the following plain statement of the
affair:
''Many of the departed negroes-sca scattered
sadly and prOmiscuously from Augusta to
Atlanta-are already begging piteously to be
sent for and brought back. All these negroes
were from around Ridge Spring, from the
country between Ridge Spring and Johnston:
and particularly from around Philippine
groes, who living near the railroad towns, and
reckless in their lien-law extravaganza, gOt
hopelessly into debt, and became demoralizec
and hopeless. AS to the cause of their dissat
isfaction, this is about the sum and substance.
Away from the railroad the negroes are not
moving off; neither are they hopeless or de-
moralized. Hammond, the principal agent i'll
promoting the movement, is negro preacher.
who has been preaching III the country between
Ridge Spring and Phillip for many years.
He is quite smart and was always a rascal.
By this time he is no doubt safely beyond the
wrath of his deluded victims-with pocket
full of money. The exodus seems to be at ali
end, at least for the present and while good
many planters Of the Ridge will be temporarily
embarrassed, the county generally will not
feel the move, except perhaps in the fact that
the thousand out-goingnegroes were all voters
But should the exodus continue-and certain
ly the colored people have every right to 60 ii
they deem it best-of course our farmers gen-
orally would be seriously embarrassed; and
the only remedy which seems practicable is to
replace them with thrifty and industrious

him and, through him, to his constituents
He concluded by resigning his chairmanshiE
of the committee on Rules. His resignation
was accepted. A bill was introduced requir.
ing manufacturers of oleomargarine to label
the same, and a resolution of thanks to the
Khedive of Egypt for the gift of the obelisk
was adopted. A discussion arose as to the in
PRODUCTION of bills through the petition box
instead of their presentation in open house,
which was settled by a decision of the chair in
favor of the latter method. The House ad'
journed until Monday.
In the Senate on the 9th, the president pro
tcm., few minutes after roll call, vacated the
chair for the day to Senator Garland. A mum.
ber of bills were introduced, among them one
relative to ascertaining the true location OF
the boundary line of Northern Texas Sena'
tor Jones, of Florida, introduceda a resolution.
which was adopted, calling Oh the Secretary
of the Interior for information relative tc
swamp lands in that State, which, it is al
legged, certain parties are taking possession OF
unlawfully. The resolution of Senator Davis.
of West Virginia, relative to pension frauds,
after an amendment by Senator Edmunds
striking out the direction to the Secretary OF
the Interior to report his opinion on such leg
islation as he might think advisable, was
adopted At 1.45 the Senate went into exec
utive session, and then adjourned until Mon,
day.
In the Senate on the 9th, the proceedings
were unmarked by anything of special interest.
In the House several bills were introduced,
among which was one by Mr.. Vance, OF
North Carolina, prohibiting the sub-lettine
of contracts for carrying United States mails

PROCEEDINGS OF CONGRESS.

When Congress re-assembled on the 9Th, af-
ter the holiday recess, there was a pretty full
attendance of Senators, and in the House
about three-ffths of the members were in their
seats. Mr.. Davis presided in the Senate, in
spite of the sore throat from which he has
been suffering for a few days past, and in ol'-
position to the directions of his physician,
who urges him to remain in his room until all
danger of an attack of pleurisy shall have
passed. But Mr. Davis presence probably
prevented an effort to elect Il president pro
ten., as there was possibility that advantage
would have been taken of his absence to elect
another presiding officer. Shortly after taking
his seat and calling the Senate to order he re-
quested Mr.. Edmunds to occupy the chair,
and then retired for the day. The Senate
transacted onlyroutine business adjourned.
In the House, the principal event of the day
was the reading Of a protest from the clerk S
desk by Mr.. Orth, in which he declared that he
had been badly treated in his assignment by
Speaker Keifer to the three committees on
which he was appointed. He spoke of his
long and arduous service, and claimed that the
Speaker in his action had done injustice TO

A circus is wintering at Augusta, Geor-

attended the Atlanta Cotton Exposition and
left two millions of dollars in the city. Last
week colored man was sold for vagrancy in
Paris. Ky., and bought by colored man for
$40. In the four States of Georgia, Ala
bama. South Carolina and Tennessee, the num-
Der of persons employed in the manufacture
of cotton is II, ,7SS, against 5,S9Oin 1870. ''' A
colored tailor from South Carolina is said to
have made $4,000 in Boston since the war.
He gives employment to over one hundred
persons. THE latest census bulletin re-
flutes the oft-repeated claim that there are
more women than men in the country. The
showing is that the men are about 9oo,0OO IN
excess. 1.-The hum of the first cotton mill is

killed and several wounded. 1t is now said
on high authority that Judge Advocate-Gen-
eral Swain will declare the proceedings III the
Whitaker court martial illegal, because Presl-
dent Hayes had no right to order it. There
is no opposition to Senator Lamar's re-elec-
tion to the United States Senate by the Mis-
sissippi Legislature. The question OF fu-
ell will be a very important one in the near fu-

ed before the case went to the jury, but was
waived by Scoville. And yet if the point be
we'll taken it cannot be waived. The Court
must take notice of it, even if never mention
by either side. No Court would give judg-
ment in a case of which it had no jurisdiction.
To do so in a case of murder where the prison.
er is found guilty and executed, would be le-
gal murder. The point is now made, and
while Judge Cox will doubtless overrule it.,
yet an appeal will lie from his decision, and
it may be at last that the Supreme Court of
the United States will find that Guiteau has
been tried in the wrong place.

APPOINTED POSTMASTER,

We notice among the recent Senate confir-
nations of Presidential appointments that of
Mr.. John w. Hill as Postmaster of Waterber
ry, Conn. Mr.. Hill formerly resided in York
vile, being son of Mr.. II. A. Hill, whom many
of our citizens will remember, though he re-
moved from here to the North several years ago.
If we mistake not, Mr. Hill now enters upon
his Fourth term as Postmaster of Waterbury,
which would seem sufficient evidence Of his
acceptability to the people and the faithful
manner in which he discharges his official
