DEAR SIR: AS I expect a pleasure in
reading the local news in TELEGRAPH,

ticed and learned in Southern towns.
Chattanooga claims 1900 people. 1t
has large manufactures of steel rails,
bar iron, nails, machinery, and one of
the largest tanneries in the United
States, first-rate school and church
buildings for white and colored people

A majority of the policemen are
colored.
Had a good view of Judge Van
Wyck's former pleasant residence near
foot Of Kenesaw mountain.
Spent few hours in Atlanta, which
is a very busy, thriving town. Except
ing that you constantly see colored
people, you would see no marked diff
ference between these two cities and
northern cities of same business. Sub
stantial pablo and private buildings,
horse-cars, electric light, telephone, &c.
From Atlanta to Augusta, an old town
on Savannah river, is I'll miles, over a
road-bed nearly as good as the North
western, and better common cars. with
Mushroom, towels, &c. Average speed,
33 miles per hour.
The very wide shaded streets and the
old public buildings give Augusta the
appearance Of quiet old Southern CITY.
Two of the streets-Broad and Green-
manned from the Quaker generals) are
IT'S feet wide, shaded by four rows of
trees, one near each sidewalk, and two
shading fine promenade in the centre.
A great manufacturing business
gives the new part of the city the ap-
pearance of New England town.
Three large well arranged cotton mills,
machinery, fertilizers, and the first
Touring mill with new Roller pro

dustries. Excepting the subject is in
troduced, you hear nothing of the war,
and you see nothing but the tall impos-
ing monument erected in centre of
Broad street to commemorate it and
the men who fell. The home of Sena-
ator Butler is near the bank of the
river, on the South Carolina side. A
colored man who drove for me said he
saw the whole fight. Whites and
blacks were more or less drunk. That
is the universal testimony. Many of
the colored people are temperate, frugal
and industrious, and, of course, save
money and own comfortable homes.
But many are quite the opposite, and
on holidays are noisy and troublesome.
The future Of our country depends
greatly upon the proper moral and in.
dustrial education of the ignorant
whites and blacks of the South.
We lad on the dinner table to-day
beef, OUTER and cheese from the North,

The KENOSHA TELEGRAPH
FRIDAY. JANUARY 5, 1883.

Congress has never been in the habit
the past half century of doing much
legislative work during the holidays,
whether there be a long recess or a
short one, or no recess at all. During
the two weeks covering the usual holt
day vacation there has been but little
of importance done. The Civil Service
bill having been disposed Of by the
Senate for the present will perhaps
consume considerable share of time
in the House, to the exclusion of more
important interests demanding legisla-
tive action. The people, very general
ly, it is believed, would prefer first to
have tariff revision attended to and
the reduction of revenue taxes adjusted.

The Legislature of this state will
meet at the Capitol in Madison on,
Wednesday next, the 18th inst. Thus
far there has but little business Of i'm
portance suggested for legislative &C
ton, from which it might be inferred
the session will not be long one.
But when it is considered the constitu-
tional amendment, providing for bien-
NAL sessions has been adopted, much
deliberate forethought will be de-
manded to make provision for contin-
gencies which may arise during the in
termediate time. 1t was rather haz-
ardOus experiment for so new State
as this-a state so rapidly developing
with new interests-to adopt the bien-
NAL system. With the present rate of
progress, two years may bring about
changes which will require legislative
action. The plausible plea of economy
doubtless did much to induce the peo-
pie to dispense with one half the num-
ber of legislative sessions; the chances
are at least equal that it will prove
bad economy. We admit it does no
good to discuss this matter now.
The decision has been rendered; it is
only repeating what was said long ago.

The holidays in this city and vicinity
were in general passed peaceably and
quietly, with but few exceptions of
noisy demonstrations, induced by in
toxicating drinks. These festal occa-
Sions are usually regarded with more
than ordinary interest by the younger
classes of society, and seem not to
have lost their charm for those in adj
vanced years. The practice of friendly
greetings on Christmas and New
Years is an old time custom, and COM
mends itself to the good judgment of
all. 1t cultivates more friendly rela-
tions between families and friends,
and widens the sphere of acquaint-
ances. One of thn commemorate fea-
lures of our holi vs. is, that those in
low life are not gotten; charities
are distributed ften with liberal
hand, and the poor made happy. Some
of the most noble ladies in city and in
country are in the habit of admins
tering to the necessities of the needy
and suffering, noselessly, without os-
tentation or heralding their deeds of
kindness. Such are the best dispen-
sers of charity, and their eff orts in al
leviating the wants of humanity are
always exerted during the holidays.

Let it be understood, we have not

In order to relieve the government
party of the constant trouble of Mr..
Bradlaugh's appearance at the bar of
Parliament, his refusal to take the oath,
his exclusion, reelection and reappear
ance, Mr.. Gladstone made the greatest
effort of his life in behalf of the aifirma-
tion bill, which was intended to give
Mr.. Bradlaugh an acceptable oppcrtu-
nifty to qualify. But simply because it
would answer that purpose it was
defeated-rather by Bradlaugh's than
by Gladstone's opponents-by the
slender majority of 8 in a vote of 5sl.
There is nothing in this to indicate a
a shock to the authority and power of
the government, as the London Times
says, unless that authority and power
are SO easily shocked that they are a
fiction. And it is safe 20 predict that
after Bradlaugh has been turned out
a few more times anything that will
get rid of him, even by getting him into
Parliament, will fiud favor with the
House of Commons.

In the election or appointment Of snper,
intendents no other issue should be made
than that of marked fitness, in scholarship

is to be regretted that often the election

perintendents is lost from view.
