summer Travellers in Europe
Returning In Large Numbers.
New York Herald. 7.

The tide Of ocean travel has turned
and the food has set in strong. Those
who went away early in the season to
spend the summer months in the old
country are returning in hundreds.

ward was made in Z days | hour and
30 minutes, but she has made an east
ward trip Of 6 days % hours. She
carried on the present passage 576
cabin passengers and 500 emigrants.
The steamship Spain, Of the Nation
al Line, which left Queenstown at
four o'clock on the afternoon of
August 70, arrived at the bar at four
o'clock yesterday morning, with 145
cabin passengers. There were also 800
emigrants on board. The Spain

The steamship City Of Rome made
her first trip under the union OF the
Anchor Line, arriving yesterday
morning from Liverpool, from which
port she sailed August %. The CITY
Of Rome was originally built By the
Barrow Shipbuilding Company for
the Inman Line, a certain speed and
a specifed freight capacity being guar
anteed. She made her first trip last
fall, when it was found that she did
not come up TO the guarantee in either
respect. The builders overhauled her,
and she was again tested in the spripg
with equal unsatisfactory results. The
Barrow Company, who own an interest
IN the Anchor Line, then agreed to
place her there. Her former officers
(of the Inman Company brought here
and will remain on her until she re-
turns on the other side, when Anchor
Line officers will be substituted. The
City Of Rome had 243 cabin passen-
gers and SOL emigants.
Besides those three vessels, the
steamship Rhein, Of the North Ger
man Lloyd Line, and the Nemesis. of
the Amsterdam Line, both Of which
arrived on Saturday, landed their
emigrants at Castle Garden yesterday.
The former had 6l9 and the latter al,
thus making the total number who
debarked there yesterday Hl7.

The New Rates TO the south.

~
The new freight rates to the South,
recently adopted by the Southern
Railway and Steamship Association,
we're put into effect, for the most part,
yesterday. The rates to Columbia, s.
u, were not advanced, it being deemed
advisable not to enforce them until
September 10. Although the two
roads to that place are members Of the
association, Columbia is not considered
to be in pool territory, and the changes
in rates affecting that point do not
have to be made with the same cir
cumspection as those to cities for
whose traffic several lines compete.
A more important postponement of
the enforcement Of the new schedule,
however, has been made on the rates
to Chattanooga, Tenn. These rates
will not he advanced to the new fg-
ures until September 10. The Tri-
bune mentioned several DAYS ago a
rumor Of some difficulty possibly in
the way Of advancing the old rates.
At the time, the report was denied by
railroad men. 1t now appears that
contracts were made with shippers at
the old rates by one Of the Southern
lines, which rendered it mpossible to
advance Chattanooga rates yesterday.
The offending line is understood to be
the Great Southern Freight (better
known as the Savannah) Line.
composed Of the steamship line
to Savannah and the Central
railroad of Georgia thence to
Chattanooga. Members of the South
ern Association asserted yesterday
that there had been no collision be.
tween the competing Chattanooga
lines and that by September 10, the
old contracts would be adjusted SO as
to permit the enforcement of the new
schedule Ofthat city.
1t is not believed that the recent
protest of the Montgomery (Alabama)
Cotton Exchange will induce the
roads to modify the advance that re.
suits from the new tariff on cotton,
Some freight agents, however, think
that the advance in cotton rates is too
great to have much permauency. From
the principal southern points the old
rates were as follows: TO Baltimore,
% cents per hundred pounds; to New
York and Philadelphia, 20 cents; and
to Fall River, Providence and Boston
~ cents. The new rates, correspond
ing respectively to the old schedule,
as above, are SO aud 81 cents and 81,
The advance, thus, is "a cents to Bal
timore, Philadelphia and New York,
and 19 cents per hundred pounds ia
New England.

1T may not be generally known that
two Of the weekly papers in Tennes-
see are published and edited by cOlored
men. One is the Blount County
Democrat, issued at Maryville, by a
Mr.. Scott, a very intelligent man aud
good citizen, who was a Democrat and
in favor Of enirauchising the whites
at the time Alvin Hawkins, who had
returned from a safe retreat in lndi-
ana, was levying blackmail, arresting
old gray bearded men, and lording it
over the people of West Tennessee
generally. Mr.. Scott has lived in a
Republican county many years, and is
respected by all classes. His paper is
well edited and patronized. The other
to which we allude is the Dan.
bridge Times, the official organ Of
Jefferson county. Ii is edited
BY Mr.. James G. Patterson,
a colored man of intelligence and re-
spectability. He is a Republican but
his paper is fair and respectful in tone
and is a very good specimen Of country
journalism. The Times represents the
better elements and side of the Re
publican party. 1t deals with men
and questions upon their merits. The
paper is a credit to its editor, to its
patrons and to the colored people
These two instances illustrate the
possibilities in store for those of the
race who are industrious and sober,
and ambitious to improve themselves
and be useful. We have always been
in favor Of giving every man a fair
chance in the race of life, and Of
helping those willing to help
themselves. Since 1865 when the
question became a practical one,
and sound public policy, we have been
in favor of giving cOlored as we'll as
white children, at least a good com
mon school education, SO that they
would make better citizens and &c.
along all the better in the world
The race has made considerable
progress in education and morals AMI
in the acquisition of homes and othe
property, and as a general thing Their
is a good understanding and fair deal

Points at Issue in theLedger and
Avalanche Controversy.


Avalanche Controversy.
The LEDGER has but q limited
space at the most leisurely season fol
editorial. Now, when advertisements
crowd, we have no room for wordy
disputation long drawn out. In ouI
controversy with the Avalanche We
have been compelled to put our points
tersely, without elaboration. The
latter journal has occupied unlimited
space with long, verbose articles,
wherein there was the slightest infu.
sion of ideas to the greatest amount Of
words. These articles have been con.
structed on the same model as to want
OF substance that the old landlady
pursued in making her tea, i. e., the
least tea to the greatest quantity Of
water. Solomon advises that a fool be
answered according to his folly. He,
however, left no formula for this,
answer. 1t has generally been sup
posed that he meant no answer at all
because a fool can never be convinced.
We have failed, it seems, to convince
the Avalanche, though We have put.
our propositions very plainly
We have at last dispaired Of accom-
phshing anything for the Old Man.
and viii nov state concisely for the
bsasst Of the public the differences
between the Avalanche and LEDGER.
IN this controversy:
L The LEDGER insists that
tie influence Of any citizen.
With the people as an adviser
and leader Is properly affected By the
tdeitJ, intelligence and public spirit
displayed b. him in the past, in deal.
Ing With the public duties devolyed
on him, OF assumed by him. If he
has shown patriotism and public spirit
With intelligence, then he is entitled
to weight D dinfuence with the peo-
pie. If he has been deficient in these
regards, then he is not entitled to in
huence, and may be challenged on the
score Of merit for this deficiency. The
Avalanche negatives this position.
2 The LEDGER maintains that
Alvin Hawkins, by the abuse of a
public office to blackmail the people,
and by his support of the vindictiye
and illegal measures Of disfranchise-
ment without previous conviction or
trial, haS forfeited the respect and es.
TEEN Of all good law abiding citizens
and ought not to receive their votes.
That no Confederate or his friend and
sympathiser can with honor vote fol
Alvin Hawkins for the reasons stated.
Inc Avalanche negatives this propo,
sition:
3. The LEDGER holds that
the course pursued by ISen.
ator jackson in a civil war
which he counseled, is a legiti.
mate subject of criticism-when h,
steps to the front and Osks the conf
dence OF the people as a leader or ad.
WISER This proposition the Ava.
iAnche negatives. The people car
now decide from this statement of tn,
points in controversy who is right anc
who is wrong.
