CITIZENS of Atlanta, Georgia, to
the number of over a thousand, adj
dressed a letter to Mr.. Henry w.
Grady, editor of the Constitution,
requesting him to accept the nomi-
nation from the Democratic party
for congressman at large. In reply,
Mr.. Grady gracefully declined the
honor, saying that he has "come to be-
lieve earnestly that no man-no mat
ter what his calling, his elevation, or
his opportunity-can equal in aigni-
ty, honor or usefulness the journal
list who comprehends his position,
fairly measures his duties and gives
himself entirely and unselfishly to
his work." and that if he, in the con-
scientious discharge of his duties as
a journalist, can do his share to-
wards advancing the interest of the
south and of Georgia, the measure
of his ambition will be filled. And
these noble words of Mr.. Grady find
response in the hearts of a thousand
editors throughout the land.

A Valuable Tree.

The western catalpa, formerly lit
tie known beyond the region of the
lower Ohio, except as q few speci-
mems have been grown for the sake
of their beautiful flowers, which re-
sembles somewhat those of the horse
chestnut, has lately been found TO be
one ofour most valuable trees. What
chiefly commends it, in addition to
its very rapid grow}h is its remarka-
BILE durability. No tree is known
to be equal to il in this respect. 1t
seems to be almost imperlshable
when exposed to moisture, and was
formerly much used by the Indians
for canoes. 1t has been a favorite
material for fence and gate posts, and
posts are now to be seen which have
been in the ground from fifty TO a
hundred years. and show hardly any
signs of decay. 1t promises to be a
very valuable tree for railway ties,
and some of our railway companies,
especially in the west, are planting
it extensively on this account. Hun
dreds of acres of prairie land, with
not less than twenty-seven hundred
trees to the acre, are now being
set with catalpa and ailanthus
trees. The Iron Mountain rail-
road company, whose roads
runs for hundreds of miles through
heavily timbered country, have
made a similar contract for planting
near Charleston, Missouri, one hun
dred acres of the catalpa as an ex-
pertinent. This they do because
while they own some of the finest
wihte-oak timber in the continent
catalpa ties have stood on the road
for twelve years entirely unaffected
by decay, and the demand for ties
and for posts of this wood far ex-
ceeds the present supply. 1t is esti-
mated that the new railroads built
in the treeless states in 1879 require
over ten million ties.

Russian Imperialism bears harder
on the mobiles than on the common
people of Russia. The communal
system has no doubt disadvantages,
and under it there may be grave
abuses, but the Monies are not I'M
der as much restraint or as much
danger as men of higher rank. These
are probably the secret heads of the
Nihilist conspiracy, whose most ac-
tive workers are students and pro-
fessional men. They dream of a free
republic, and the mobiles either have
or affect the same aspirations. The
Monies have in their communal
system safeguard from pauperism
that is unknown in the other states
of Europe, and are not disposed to
favor a revolution that might endar-
ger their local rights. If the Nihl-
lists could have fired the hearts of
the Monies there would long since
have been a revolution in Russia.
They above all else want a union of
their whole race of fifty millions of
people, under single government.
This wish and hatred of western ma
lions is the one impulse that is shap-
ing the destiny of Northern Europe.

Prosperity of the Gulf Cities.
Tsouthern Railroad Gazette.l


During a recent visit to the gulf
cities we were pleased to note the
marked improvement now going on.
Pensacola, with her extensive fisher
les and lumber interests, her beauti-
full harbor and increased railroad
facilities, is rapidly assuming the
importance which has long since
been predicted far her. Mobile, our
own Alabama port, has awakened to
her interests and is fast regaining
her time-honored importance. The
dredging of her channel, now II
feet deep, is being rapidly pro-
gressed, and will soon reach
a depth OF % feet, thus
allowing vessels of heavy tonnage to
land right up at her city and railroad
wharves. One of the peculiar fea-
lures of Mobiles growth and pros
perity is the interest manifested in
the early market gardens in the SUI
burbs and vicinity, which with the
aid ofnewly constructed ventilated
cars and quick transportation by the
Louisville and Nashville railroad
enables them to place their garden
truck and fruits in the northern
markets in competition with any
other market, thus realizing an i'm
mense amount from the source.
New Orleans, the Crescent City,
and metropolis of the south, al
though her business prospects SEEM
ed at one time somewhat jeopardiz-
ed by the overflow along the Mis-
sissippi river and tributaries, yet
such is her vitality and recuperative
powers that a stranger visiting the
city is impressed with the belief
that these apparent drawbacks only
serve to redouble the energy of her
citizens, and she blooms out fresher
and more vigorous than ever. New
buildings of some kind are going up
on nearly every square, and we
were informed every contractor had
contracts for several months ahead.

THE Standard oil company was
chartered in Ohio as an oil refining
company, with capital of $1,000 :
600. In 1872 the capital was in
creased to $2,500,OOO, and in
1875 to $3,50O,OO0. No change
has been made in the nominal cap
ital since the latter date, but the
undivided profits have increased the
actual capital to an acknowledged
sum of 50 100000 in 1880, but which
is now estimated at $35, 100000. In
addition to this undivided profit,
over SIC, 100000 have been declared
in dividends in eight years.

baltimore SUM.


The Readjuster members of the
legislature of Virginia, with the ex-
ception of four members of the sem
ate, have united with Lieutenant Gov
ernOr Lewis and the various state
and legislative officers in an adj
dress to the people of Virginia,
reciting the history of the Re-
adjuster endeavor and its fail
ures OH account of the pervers-
ity of opponents, and concluding
with an appeal to the party to
change its political affinities. 1t is a
document of lamentations. 1t be-
gins with ieremiad upon Governor
Holidays "faithlessness" in vetoing
Readjuster legislation, and con-
tinucs the sad strain by bewailing
ex-Auditor Massey's demand for "re-
nomination and reelection without
the conditions imposed upon ali
other candidates" and final revolt
from party obligation. The dolor-
GUS refrain is even more pathetic
when the detection of the big

cy" of the Readjuster party, 'betray-
ing" it in its "direst need" Nothing
is said of the action of Senator
Malone in congress in voting
with the Republican party in its
most partisan. sectional and
and southern measures, but the
omission is supplied by a warm ex-
hortation to all Readjusters 10 sup
port President Arthur's administra-
ton. In conclusion the party is
urged to take strong stand in fa-
vor of a protective tariff, and hope
for victory in the coming campaign.
