Black Dissents.

In al interview published in an even
ing paper. supposed to be with Judge
Jeremiah Black, of Pennsylvania, his at
tention was called to the declaration in
some quarters being made that the win
ming ticket OF 1884 would be Blaine for
President and Joe Brown, Of Georgia, for
Vice President.
"What do you think of it ?" queried
the reporter.
"Can it. be possible that the Democratic
party of this country is not yet done re-
lying Oh phantoms 10 win battle? Is
there no wisdom in experience Has it
forgotten that time has always its own
vindicalion in truthY Does the past
furnish nc lessons whereby its footsteps
may be guided Alright to the sepulcher of
dead presidential struggles and ambi-
tions? There was the Seymour and
Blair ticket of 1868, which was fore.
doomed to annihilation by Blair's cele.
brated letter declaring tho amendments
unconstitutional and voiu. III 1872 the
party abandoned every profession it had
ever made, held in allegiance every prin-
ciple it had ever promulgated, and nomi-
mated its lifelong encmy-federalist,
whig and abolitionist-poor old Horace
NAiSCiSJs III LOW IL uuQ CicC-
ted Tilden and Hendricks, and then
affrighted at few of Zaca Chander's
threats, cowardly abandoned and be-
trayed them. In 1880, commanded by
every motive of common manhood, policy
and decency to put again to lead it the
successful and indomitable standard
bearer of 1876, it forsook him basely at
the malicious threats Of another boss,
and suffered for the fourth time ignomin-
ious disaster. And now there is talk OF
combination upon Blaine and Joe
Brown-Maine and Georgia-New Eng
land aud the South-the Puritan and the
slave.dcaler-th stalwaII Unionist and
the jealous Conference.-The brilliant,
dashing, gladiatorial Radical and the
shrewd, practical, successful Democrat.
This is folly, folly, folly. Such ticket
could no more win in this day and gen.
Grafton than Leander could have swan
the Hellespont with six-pound cannon
lashed to his back"
"Who can you win with ?" further
queried the reporter.
"With man who has always been o
Democrat, true and consistent-one in
whom the business interests of the coun-
try have confidence. Justice Field, who
is now one of the Associate Justices of
the United States Supreme Court, or any
other man with like record, can win"

Hon. B. f. Perry for Governor.

In the present condition of the State,
our clubs disbanded, the people divided
on local issues and the strong opposing
colored element, if we expect TO carry
the State for the Democratic party next
fall, we must have ticket composed OF
solid, conservative men properly distri-
1uted geographically.
We have seen the name Of ex.Goy.
Perry announced as proper person for
Governor, and we are satisfied, if he will
make the race, that he can command o
stronger vote than any other man in the
State. He is emincntly practical man,
and is firm as rock and as able as he is
firm. The people could trust him re.
gardiess OF party or party affiliations as
man who would execute the laws hon
estly and faithfully, and who would lend
his judgment and experience for the com.
mon good. lie should feel It duty TO
those who have so long honored and
trusted him to lend his name and innu.
encc to heal our divisions aud preserve
our present control of the State, and We
trust that the convention, should one be
called to make nominations, will tender
aud insist on his becoming our standard
bearer. With this name and e good
selection Of solid, conservative men for
other State Offices from different sections
of the State the success of honest gov
ernment would not be imperiled in the
least. Without some such ticket we fear
the resuit.-kcoWcc Courier.

On Wednesday morning, the 25th ult.,
Is powerful crash and fearful rumbling
noise startled the Inhabitants of the en-
tire vicinity around the terminus of the
mountain, and many of them ran in wild

a Live Corpse.

The Virginia correspondent of the
Capital predicts hat the opposing Presi-
idential tickets Of ISS3-G4 will be Grant
and Malone, ON one side, and Blaine and
Gordon OH the other. Ex-senator Eaton,
the only Senator who did not fall into
the Electoral Commission trap, says if he
has TO choose between Grant and Blaine,
or blank ballot, he peters the last
He thinks that WHEN the Democratic
party is reduced to that extremity, it had
better retire from the stage altogether.
Senator Butler, Of South Carolina, not
only smiles at the idea OF The Democratic
party dying, but emphatically declares
side, and only require good leaders and q
favor of making ex-senator Wallace, of
Democratic Executive Committee. Mr..
Wallace is competent and upright, and
the proper person to take charge. Sena-
tor Butler is also favorable to choosing a
Western man for the Presidential nomi-
nation, and Joseph Mcdonald, of In
diana, is his beau ideal for that honor.
If q Southern man is to be chosen 10
match the Republican Vice-Presidential
nomination, DIo"n or Lainar WOulu
command immense following. General
Gordon is not in public life, and 1 doubt
il he would sacrifice his business pos
poets for the second place on the ticket
The Democratic party has timber enough
of its own TO construct Presidential plat
forms and put its own leaders upon them.
Therefore, I dc not thinl: it viii give np
the ghost at present. Rather 1 am OF

struggle will be the mightiest since the

AUGUSTA Chronicle.

The Chronicle continues to hear various
bits OF information regarding the pro-
posed sale Of tho Augusta and Knoxville
Railroad to the South Carolina Railroad
Company. In different places we have
picked up different points Of informa-
ton, which we can give without violating
any particular confidence.
The city of Augusta proposes TO turn
over its Augusta and Knoxville Railroad
stock to the Carolina Railroad Company
for $50, 900 and interest; and as the road
was built principally by its bonds-there
being only about $l35,00O worth of
stock outstar Iing-the Carolina Railroad
will be required to take $500, 900 of the
bonds Of the road. This, it is under
stood, is the stickler in the contract, to
the Carolinians. The road will bind
itself, should the contract be fulfilled, not
to build its branch between Aiken, Trcn-
ton, Edgefield and Dorn's Mines will
use the depot at the upper end of Greene
street for freight-the Union Station for
passengers, and is to be allowed to run n
track down tho river bank, along dyke
which it is to construct and put in order,
to connect with their road ut the bridge.
This is only for through freight. In
none oil their business are they 10 dis.
criminate against Augusta; they ere to
be exempt from the tariff of the Street
Railroad Company and are to devote
sou, 600 towards securing and construct
ing. the Blue Ridge route, as already ex-
planned by the Chronicle.
In general conversation with mer-
chants, directors and councilmen, we find
that the project is losing favor.
1t is q we'll aired rumor, as the Chroai-
Gle has heard for several days, that an
Augusta syndicate--cCmposed Of Messrs.
@. II. Phinizy, 7. P. Branch, T. G. Bar
rett and others, would make good bids
for the Augusta and Knoxville; aud
that the Clyde syndicate would like, also,
to make bid; but II is not probable
that any sale for speculative, discrimina-
tive, or bottling purposes, will be effected.
The latest and best idea seems to be
that of organizing home syndicate. To
this end number of buainess men and
capitalists of this city have signified
their willingness TO raise enough money
TO buy up majority of the stock of the
road, and to contribute for securing to
Augusta the Savannah Valley connec.
tions. To this syndicate might be turn
ed over tho road without the power OF
transfer; or at least without the power
of transferring to any interest which
might be hostile to Augusta. Then The
road would be worked exclusively in the
interest of the city--for il is the most
important--eyen our sole feeder left to
tho commerce of this city.
Snch an arrangement might be the
moro easily induced when the Importance

that President Arthur has become parfi.

ramus who cannot spell the commonest

would touch him with pair of oyster

question is a masterly effort, and Arthur's

ginia for partisan ends is exposed with
merciless severity, but within parliament
tary limits. A good deal, no doubt, can
be said on the other side; but Mr.. Royal
has put his case so vigorously that no
man need wonder why thousands of
Conservative Republicans shrink from
such coalition as that Of Malone. and
have brought themselves under the lash
and menace of the National Republican.
This letter of AFR. Royal shows the
hollowness of Independent professions of
reform. Virginia, under Malone, is q
wreck. The coalition between office
seekers and Republicans is beginning to
do its work, by restoring corrupt govern
mont in the Old Dominion. The Re.
publicans practically control Virgi.iia, as
they will all other States in which the
independents arc allowed to get a foot

county will have to pny III mills. Peo.
pie can't expect to run big universiiite

The iaaasd'iiiiH:, however, should have told
its readers that the State taxes are lower
this year than they we're last, and that
the increase comes from an increase OF
their county taxes, no port''n of which
goes to support universities or pay high
salaries. The increase is local matter
entirely, for which the Legislature and

sponsible. The people ought to be told

testimony a5 quoted from this county is
garbled and false. If it has been report

looked into, for the whole tenor of the
testimony has been changed, and tho ex-
