position i'm that branch of trade.

The decision Of the United States

TIE colored people have now been

man was ~oyertaken by a runaway

tearing down the street at break

could be warned of their approach
he was knocked down and trampled
upon, two of the wheels OF the wag>
on running over his head and body.
The skull had been crushed and
nearly the whole scalp torn from
the old mans head The right arm
was broken above the elbow and
the body was probably in

THE TARIFF. e

Congress is now graphing with
the question OF tariff, and from
the various opinions entertained
upon this subject by the members
Of that body, it is exceedingly
questionable whether or not any
Immediate result will be reached.
There appears to be,a very gen
eral disposition upon the part of
members to reduce the taxes III
CURED by the tariff system, bat
tie point is how to get at it SC. as
to reconcile all sections of the
country. The New England
states, where nearly all the manu-
featuring interest Of this country
lies, are very naturally in favorref
a protective system Of tariff. But,
then, it is no uncommon thing to
meet with advocates of this sys-r
| tenn both from the South and
West, and after all, it can hardly
be said to be question of purely
SECTIONAL interest There is one
thing, however, Of which there
can be no doubt; it is a question of
immense magnitude, and one, too,
that will affect the interests Of the
American people in no smallitle
gree. Let the action of congress
be What 1t may, we shall not ex-
pect to see all sections and all
parties agreed and harmonious. A
very popular view of this oues-
ton among the members from the
South is that Of tariff for revel
nue. only, affording such incident
al protection as may arise from
the collection Of revenues on i'm
port goods for the support of the
government. The tariff is ques-
ton, about which, the wisest of
statesmen are differed, and, we
doubt not, honestly so, and what
will be the result of the next few
years deliberations unon the snb.
ject is difficult to forecast. We
! have an abiding faith in our Rep
resentatives from Georgia and
doubt not that they will give us
the full benefit of their energy
and counsel in giving direction to
to such action as will most mate
rally advance the best interests of
the whole country.

Georgia Legis allure.


Many of the newspapers of the State
are still troubled about the adjourned
session of the Georgia Legislature
They declare it TO be unconstitutional
and threats have been made to refer it
to tile Supreme Court for adjudication.
Since there prevails a very serious
doubt in the minds of many very capa-
be and honest men as to the const1tu
tionality of this question it might be
we'll to have the Supreme Court pass
upon it. But, after all, the only thing
the Supreme Cours can do world be to
pass "pon the constitutionality of such
laws as may be enacted by that body
at its summer session. Unless this
question is settled it will continue to
be the source of discord aud discussion
for years to come, and for our part we
would like to see IT brought to test.
We are not of that number. however,
who believe that the Georgia Legisla-
turc can transact all the business that
may legitimately come before it in
forty days. We believe the Constitu-
ton should be so amended as to allow
the legislature to meet in the summer
season, and, then. by two+thirds vote,
the time may be extended as long as
shall be found necessary.

THE COTTON TIE BUSINESS

1t is argued by the advocates of
the protective tariff system that
the Southern planter pays from
three to four cents per ID for cot
ten ties and sells them again as
cotton from seven to ten cts. Up
on the other hand 1t is met with
the statement that the cotton plan
ter loses the full weight of both
ties and bagging put upon his
cotton. That England fixes the
price OF cotton and not New York,
and in doing SO that England de-
ducts exactly % lbs, the weight of
the bagging and ties. II it be
true that England does fix the
price of cotton, and we suppose no
one doubts this, then, i is quite
reasonable be suppose, il the ab-
sence OF any precise data, that she
deducts a sufficient tare to cover
the entire weight of the bagging
and ties, Therefore, we are lead
to believe, that instead Of making
a profit on his bagging aud ties
the farmer loses Just exactly the
amount that he paid out FOR them.

After ehe child has once learned to

tant facttr its education than all the
text books that can be piled UP in all
the school houses in the state Nor
would we seem TO undervalne the i'm
per ance Of text books in their proper
sphere. for they have mission to per-
form as wells as newspapers. and in
the hands OF faith. ul efficient and con-
scientious Instructors they cannot we'll
be s.,pplantcd. Bat, after all, should
the education Of the yeung man or the
young lady stop at the end of 4 col
lego curriculum it would be very i'm
perfect. An education without mfor-
nation obtained from the reading of
newspapers and books of standard an-
IH'I 10 IIhG IL Stft SlI ll't vi lfN hGT-
mel, it is mere empty adornment with
but little of favor or utility about it.
In fact, the sooner the child can be
impressed with the Importance Of read
ing, the better Even in its early, ten
der years it should be su piled with
new papers and encouraged to read,
until at length It has cultivated fond
ness for 1t that time itself will not be
able to snpplant Thus the child will
grow up into a fullness and maturity
of knowledge that will fit it in after
life for a y circle or any surrounding.
The newspaper of t. day has become
IN indispensable factor in our system
of education, and the sooner thy have
been introduced into ali our schools
and colleges as ana xiliayy in the at
tainment Of proper education, the
better it will he for the schools and

SAvANNAHs sEsQUI-C CEN
TEsNNTtT,

ONE hundred and fifty years
ago, General Oglethorpe, SO cele-
5rated in American history, land
ed at the site which now marks
the great city Of Savannah. This
WIS practically the beginning Of
our great. commonwealth. Now
the geople Of Savannah propose to
celebrate this occasions on the 10Th
and 18th insts. with an enterprise
that rarely falls to the lot of any
city to display. Gov. Stephens
has been invited to deliver the in
augural address Of the occasion
which will take place on the morn
ing Of the 12tn; also on the same
day will be grand military pa
geant representing The military Of
Georgia, South Carolina and
Florida. On the 18th, Will be the
Trades Procession, which will be a
sight worth the seeing. The rail
roads leading into Savannah have
very generously put the fare down
to one and a half cents per mile,
or the round trip for one fare. It
is expected that the occasion will
be one Of grand proportions and a
big success, and that thousands of
people will visit the Forest city
during these two days. Should
any OF our people desire to visit
Savannah they can find no more
fitting occasion than this. The
trip will be a cheap one and yet
the attractions VIII be sufficient to
compensate all inconvenience and
trouble. Tickets over the Central
will be good from the 18th. to the
18TH, thus giving atleast two days
