ALEX STEPHENS is the Democratic nomi-
nee for governor of Georgia, and by acclama-
tioD. One of the foremost and best known
men in the republic, he has always been
siuguarly successful. OF course he will be
Iccessful this time too, and round a life
q most entirely spent in the public service by
defeating the combination of Independents
and Republicans upon which the administra-
{ ion counts for victory in Georgia, as it does
upon the boiling Democrats and Republicans
in Tennessee. The vice-p president of the late
Confederacy has found his lines in pleasant
places. Not so the president whom Mis-
sissippi, some men think. might have re-
iained in its service and thus rebuked
the idea which prevails at the North that we
acquiesce in his retlrscy and willingly make
him the scape- goat for what our fellow cili-
zsns in that part Of the country regard our
sins of omission and commission during the
civil war. But it is too late now. And
then, too, Mr.. Davis occupies place in the
hearts of the people of the whole South
from which he can never be dislodged.

SENATOR GEORGE, of Mississippi, made a
very telling speech on Monday last on the
bill reducing the internal revenue taxes, and
on bis amer dment 10 that bill exempting
mechanics tools from 'arif taxation, which
will no doubt attract The attention of think
ing men all over The country. The speech
was a very able one, and was listened 10
with profound attention. The senator
warnsd his hearers that by legislating for
the perpetuiiy of monoplies they were
preparing Tor confAgration it would
be difficult to prevent. The result of such
legislation was TO make few men
very rich and TO make a great number
paupers. There was very little pauperism
in this country yet, because the great unim-
proved West afurded cheap homes, but the
time would come when the public lands
would be exhausted. When that time came
the real struggle for bread among the poor
classes would commence. Then we might
expect communism. This being a country
of popular government, communism could
not be put down here as in Europe The
, best security for capital, ne said, was wise
laws which will permit poor people to ac-
quire property. As soon as a man becomes
a proper ty-owner he becomes conservative
and foe to communiem. Unjust laws will
foster paupers, who will become communists.
The remedy for the threatened danger, said
the senator, Is legislation which confers
benefit upon the poor as well as the rich.
Wiser words were never uttered. They are
OF the very essence Of pure and uudeiled
Democracy, and ought to be repeated from
every Democratic stump and by every DEM
ocratic newspaper in the country.

as a result of the failure OF the crops. A
few weeks ago we had very Encouraging re-
ports from England. Next followed tue de.
structiou and neglect in Egypt as result OF

the sad news from poor, long-sufering Ire
land that the potato crop of the northwest
has been blasted and the hay crop has been
utterly ruined by unpreeedentedly heavy
grains. Added 10 this is the almost total
failure of the wheat crop. Want aud desti-

untoward condition OF things, and the. en-
barrassments of Gladstone's administration
