THE experience of Georgia is quite likely
to be that of the other Southern States. The
Democrats having secured control, the
blacks are made to understand that Republi-
canism will not be tolerated, and that they
must vote the Democratic ticket or not vote
at all. Either through the physical force of a
lawless element or the moral compulsion
which the planters and property-owners are
able to exert, the Democrats fully dominate
the black vote. When this is clearly estab-
lished and the blacks understand that they
are mere cyphers, then they are tolerated.
They may secure safety with the extlngush-
ment of their manhood, and by their COM
plete subordination to the master element.
This is what is seen in Georgia and what
will doubtless be witnessed in the other

The Washington correspondent of the Boston
Advertiser says: Senator Stanley Matthews in
conversation with his friends .says there is not
the slightest doubt about the result of the elec-
ton in Ohio in October, and that the Republi-
cans are certain to carry not only the guberna-
torial but the legislative ticket. The silver
question will absorb all other issues in the cam
paign, but the Republican convention will
adopt as plank in the platform resolution
in favor of the reconciliation of silver, which
will be acceptable to all Republicans disposed
to be dissatisfied on account of the financial
outlook. The very pronounced policy which
Secretary Sherman is pursuing in relation to
the resumption OF specie payments, MIR. Mat
thews thinks will have an injurious effect upon
the party, and probably create considerable dis.
sension. This will lose the party more votes,
Mr.. Matthews thinks, than the Presidents
Southern policy, aud if defeat does oyertake
the party it will be attributable to the financial
policy now being pursued. In regard to the
Presidents Southern policy the opposition is
daily growing weaker, and by the time the
election occurs all evidences will have dis
appeared. MI. Matthews has expressed some
anxiety in regard to his reelection to the
senate in the event of the Republican
Legislature being chosen. 1t is said by
some of Secretary Sherman's friends that
if he finds specie resumption can be brought
about by the time fixed by law he may
conclude to Ie-enter the Senate and be a candi-
date himself against Mr.. Matthews. As the
person which will be chosen by the legislature
elected next October will not take his seat
until March, 1879, 1t is possible for Mr.. Sher-
man to remain in the Treasury until after the
date fixed for resumption, and still be a sem
ator elect. If he can bring about resumption
before the time fixed by law Mr.. Sherman

the Cabinet and resume his former place in the

The new star in Cygnus has gone through
performance that is sore puzzle to the
men of science. As its gradually waning
light comes to be ex amined by the spectre
scope, it is found now to have the features of
planetary nebula. For few years past the
spectroscopists have been pluming them
selves upon the important accession TO the
proof of the nebular hypothesis that was fur
nished by the appearance of the nebule
when their light was anayzed. The asser-
tion was freely made that the irresolvable
nebula consisted largely of the simple gasses,
principally hydrogen; they were supposed to
be in the process of condensation, ultimately
to form suns. But here is star which
starts off as sun with varied assortment
OF streaks in its spectrum, and winds up in a
few weeks with simplicity of light and every
evidence of being a nebula. Evidently the
previous notions about nebule need revision.
Professor Lockyer suggests as way out of
the difficulty that the new star may not be
so many millions of miles away as the fixed
stars certainly are. If it had been at that
great distance and had burst suddenly into
fierce incandescence at the time it was first
observed it would have taken few million
years for so large mass to cool.
