WASHINGTON'S MONUMENT.
m, IT,
A Washington correspondent of n
Western paper writes as follows:
Probahly the highest elevator in the
world is that juat completed in the Wash
ington monument, the tirst trial of which
was made to-day. It is 176 foot high, is
capable of bearing ten tons, and was
erected nt a coet of Si.0,000. It is run bv
an eighty horse-power engine, and will
be used in carrying the stones to the top
of the shaft A railroad constructed
from the workshop runs to the root of the
monument, where a derrick hoist* the
stone anil places it on the elevator. At
the top four railroads on either side con
vey the stones to their places. An iron
stairway has also been put in at a cost of
$16,000. Both the stairway and elevator
will be permanent As the work pro
ceeds sections will be added to the ele
vator. This will occasion a delay of two
weeks, as each section of twenty feet si
placed in position.
The present height of the elevator,
which is twenty feet higher than the
shaft, will bo all that i* expected to be
built this year. The cable which sup-
ports the elevator haa been tested, and
will sustain 158,000 pounds. Workmen
are now removing from the top of tho
monument three layers of stone, which
is equal to six feet m height, which was
found to be necessary, ns it had scaled
and is in other ways unfit for nse. On
top of tho monument are a number of
men engaged in removing the immense
stones which form the top layings. Tho
largest stone blocks are raised by der
ricks and placed upon a small txuek
riding upon rails, which is then run upon
the elevator. It is then lowered, there
LETTER FROM ATLANTA.
Atlanta, Ga., Nov. 8..1880.
The agony is over—I mean the na
tional election. Every man here, who
took enough interest in it to read the
newspapers during ti e campaign has
an explanation oi the result different
from that of every other man. I am
the only one who has not ventured an
opinion upon the subject. When the
subject is mentioned in my august
presence I try to look wise but am-
careful to keep my tongue. At this
rate my friends will soon conceive
that I understand the case and that
nobody else does. Tftis will be true
liecause everybody else is trying to
talk wisely and nobody can find any
person who will concur with them. I
may say I feel a little like a Norwood
man d-d on the 7th of October. I have
however, one advantage over such an
one, the legislature is hero to divCH
my attention from the great affliction.
Now a legislature is not usually very
interesting but since the adoption of
the new cons.i itntion Georgia legisla
tures are more interesting than a cir
cus and are more largely attended
than the shows of the female minstrels
They elect all the judgesand solicitors
and while there are a good many judi
cial circuits in the State, still the
number of places does not equal by
about two thirds the number of aspi
rants. 1 do not know a single judicial
circuit from which there are not three
to six aspirants lor the judgeship and
soliciiorship I do not know any class
of people benefited by this except the
hotel and boarding-houses keepers,
unless to be bored and begged is a
port of the perquisites of tho offices of
senator and representative. These
offices ought to bo filled by popular
elections or by executive appointment.
The day for a'l the elections to till
them has not yet been fixed. The code
prescribes the day for election of
Utitled States Senator and it is de
sired by some that these elections take
place before the election lor Senator
so as the positions ol the candidates
touching that question may not be
come an issue in the otliei elections.
This would seem to be wise, but the
Brown men ate opposed to it. I
judge by certain remarks in the Cons
stitutiou which it is lair to assume is
the ot gan of that jinny. After all, it
is getting to be pretty clear that Gov,
Brown is not so certainly elected as
has been said. The most that can be
said is that his chances are better than
the tliauces of anybody else rndtHat
he will probahly be elected. This * is
staling the case as strongly in his la-
AS TO THE SOLIDS.
Mr. McLaughlin, Superintendent, has a
force of one hundred and twenty-five
men employed at the work, and
t>egan laying the first stone about
the 1st of August Tlio elevator, en
gine, and everything of the sort, which
are now below the level of the terrace,
but covered by a frame building, will be
covered over, so os to make the trank
level when the work is completed, thus
keeping the motive powor of the elevator
entirely ont of sight When work on the
monument is commenced in earnest, it is
expected that a course of two feet will
bo laid every three days. To cut and
trim the stone necessary for * courso
takes the work of twenty men for a week.
The monument, it is expected, should
Congress give the necessary appropria
tions, will be finally completed in 18S5.
The foundation has been strengthened
so as to bear all the additional weight
that may be neoessaiy to its completion.
It bos now a foundation of 37 feet, 13$
feet deeper than the old one. This
foundation is composed of a composition
of English Portland cement and crashed
blue stone, and is considered much
stronger titan masonry. Thirteen thou
sand barrels of cement were used in
the foundation alone, which has cost
$$•2,000. The monument is to be five
hundred and fifty feet high, of which
height one hundred and fifty-two feet has
already been attained.
The present weight, including the
foundation, is estimated at forty thou
sand tons. At the base the walls are fif
teen foet thick, losing a batter of one-
eighth inch, to use a technical phrase, at
every foot; or, in other words, the walls
are one-fourth inch narrower for every
foot attained at the summit The walls
aro now twelve feet in thickness. As the
monument stands at present, upward of
$300,000 has been expended on its erec
tion. SVurk on the monument has begun
in earnest, and the busy hum of the
chisel can be heard on all sides. When
tho first stone is laid it will have been
fully twenty years since the last one was
put in place. One of the most interest
ing incidents connected with the last
work upon the monument was the de
struction by a band of Know-nothings of
a stone donated with an appropriate in
scription by the Pope at Borne.
i . (Macon Telegraph.)
The eight or ten thousand solemn
admonitions to tho ‘ solid South,’
which have already been or will short
ly be addressed to these States by
the so-called republican editors of the
other members of the Federal Union,
were pretermitted in 1876 by reason
of the actual election of Tildco, and
are due in 1880 to the fact that a few
thousand votes in so-called pivotal
states have been bought and frightens,
cd into voting for’Garfield. "The
majority of the intelligent suffrage of
foe Un)tod plates, conceding 1 : all the
negroes to Garfield, have indorsed
Hancock and English; snd it is too
apparent for dispute that if the neces
sities of sel f^protection still hold the
states ofthe Sontli as a unit in a
common cause, they are bound to se
cure impartial consideration as States
of the Union at last. This attitude
ol these Mates, as a defenseless min
ority, is nothing more than^an appeal
to the magnanimity of the* immense
auti-Southein majorities, against the
settled policy of the so-called republi
can party to degrade and trample
them under toot.
It would be inqtossible to maintain
this altitude, if opposed upon the part
ot the republican North, with reason,
justice and impartiality. But these
methods never have been and, for
any years to come, never Will be
tried. None of the republicans have
ever yet, since the war, been able to
concede the Smith an equal status in
the Union. It is still a conquered
province—subsisting by toleration,
and to be held by the arts of repres
sion, and with a settled caution and
distrust. No man of discretion, North
or South, would think of proposing a
Southern man for President, ami the
expressed confidence of the Southern
iteopie in any Northern niaq injures
aim in that section. t - ’ 1
These facte are very natural and
inny be very excusable; but they are
facts, and produce that Democratic
solidarity ot which the North coin-
plains—a solidarity not to assert a
single sectional interest or opinion,
but suggested by self respect for self-
protection against unfriendly admin
istration.
When the republicans put national
candidates in the field, they ndrirest,
this unfriendly sectional fooling-and
rest their case upon it almost solely.
Can they reasonably complain that
the Southern people decline to follow
suit, and appeal to.thc country against

McLaughlin, Superintendent, has a strange things and vail e g
years to explain them, at the expira
tion ol which period they explain the
solution of the enigma to be their
great foresight and patriotism. This
is unsatisfactory to me. I never can
fully trust them and the discomfort
which arises . /ram distrustin'' them
more than outweighs the beflefUi
which they claim as the result ot their
mysterious sagacity. Pairing the idea
iu one word they are not frank. When
you talk to them they answer liko the
Delphic oracle, in such a way as to
form tin answer suitable to any subse
quent events.
These people that know so much
and reveal so little except it is pre
faced with the aejf rate-fled formula,
“I told'ytnr*cf" are exfcsperatingly
smoft. , They are always running for
office or teasing you*, tHor an election

that we prefer to act with foe Demo

Again, tbe entire policy of the so-
called republicans inevitably tends to
social dissord in the Southern States.
It was founded originally on the idea
oi organizing a preponderating politi
cal negro force out of the colored
people. JDisregarding'aH th* moral,
intellectual and pecuniary forces which
are so generally supreme in shaping
politics in otber8tat©s, it assumes that
every negro is necessarily a republican,
and when the votes do not count out,
in that way, it is due to white fraud
and violence. It is owing almost
wholly to these conditions that Gar
field has carried the solid North, but
a similar result in the Southern States
is an unpardonable crime, though no
violence or intimidation be practiced.
We must divide the forces of iutellis,

Gentlemen of the-General As

best service to the sovereign people of
Georgia & their chief magistrate. I
should violate the proprieties of the,
occasion and do extreme injustice to
mjaell.if-I did not acknowledge with
4>rofound‘gratitude the marked honor
which has just been- conferred upon
me. It would he , most inexcusable
and argue a wonderful insensibility if
I did hot feel the unprecedented gens
erosity and fervor, with which a surge
majority of this commonwealth has
reaffirmed its confidence in' me as an
officer and as a man.
As it would be a vain attempt to
express iu adequate terras the grati
tude, I feel, I can oqly say, that I now
reconsecrate every |tower of my being
to the interest and honor of a people
who have so trusted and sustained

terness in the past, let us rather re
joice with each other' in the present
and prospective fortunes of our be
loved State, i And, gentleman,-how
broad and how solid are the founda
tions of our hopefulness!
Our most essential resources and
industries were never so fully availed
of os they are at this very . moment.
Remuneration is encouraging in every
branch of enterprise, aud there is
plainly felt a spirit ot progressiveness
petvading and enjoying the effoits of
our entire p<ipuiaUou. The school
master, too, is a broad in oar land, and
we are resolved that we will never
stop till we bave taken the light ot
knowledge and science into the last
stronghold, of ignorance and illiteracy
in Georgia-. Manufactories are spring-
May wo not hear from the lips of some
grand apostle of liberty, the warning,
that a government founded on and
maintained by hate and prejudice,
carries within its. bosotn the seeds oi
its qwn destruction ?
While we discharge with scrupulous
fidelity every obligation due our com-
mon country, del-us not forget that •<* £}»

merely with the material progress
they have been making for several
years past. In mechanical science,
agriculture and the arts they kave :
made great strides. Their military
system is founded on European mod
els, and all the old feudal forms have
been abolished. They have become
indoctriuated with Western ideas, and
now they aspire to Western freedom.
They do not desire to discredit the
government, but they are begin
ning to demand a share in it. Some
of Lite boldest of the Japanese juuriis
alists and public lecturers are advo

tbe government, which up to this

A Stranger from Freeport.
Usually a professional, dyed-ln-the-
wool gambler, is the hardest man to bea
in the wide wbrld. He divides his fel
low-men into two olassea, and in his
terse and epiCTammatioJlanjruage he calls
them ; “ suokers ” and thieves. He
thrives and grows fat on the one class,
and it requires all his alertness to keep
from being robbed by the other. Hu
perceptions areso sharpened that he can
distinguish on honest man from a knave
at a glance, but occasionally he gets
picked np in a most scandalous manner.
A ease of this kind oocurred in Chicago
a day or two ago, under the following
circumstances: > >
A short tune since a strange gambler
of much plausibility and fine address
came to .town.' He circulated among the
brethren, and soon ingratiated himself
into the confidence of the gentlemanly
and urbane proprietor of a castle de
voted to speculation of a dubious char
acter, located at no great distance from
Calhoun place. In due courso of time
he developed his plot. He knew a man
in Freeport who' had 81,000 to invest in
the banking business (faro banking),
and if )m, ; the plausible stranger, had
another $1,000 he could go in with him.
He represented tho Freeport man to.be
a rank sucker, whom it would b-. .base
flattery to call an illustrious “gilty.”
His plan was to borrow the 81,000 from
his new-found friend, who would come
down to Freeport, and in the absence of
the native win out the entire bank roll,
his own $1,000 and the native’s $1,000,
and divide; This is on old trick among
gamblers, and thegentlemonlycapitolist
knew it eould ■ be worked. He knew,
too, that the stranger and the Freeport
man might ,1-e “ standing in ” to rob
him, bnt he came to the conclusion that
his new acquaintance meant to. do the
“ squaro thing ” with him. He accord
ingly advanced the $1,000, but in order
to secure himself he sent a trusted ally
to go and look after it. The partner
was to telegraph the Chicago capitalist
when it was time to come down to Free
port with his old white hat and win out
the roll. In order that there might be
no unpleasant complications, foe tele
gram was to be worded : “It is a good
time to 'buy pork.” The capitalist
- waited anxiously for eleotrio instruction
to invest in 'pork, but, instead, there
came a letter from his agent oonveying
tho sad intelligence that one day, while
he was ont eating his dinner, another
man in a white hat had dropimd in and
won oat $2,000. On his return he had
remonstrated with the Freeport
“ sucker ’’ and the chance acquaintance,
but had been scoffed at and reviled, and
threatened with corporeal punishment if
he did not vacate the premises forth
with. To make a-l<mg story short, he
had been incontinently * * bounced,” and
was even foen on'his way to Chicago.
He did not know how he was going to
get home, bat if his shoes held out he
would be due in a week or two.
The public need feel 110 alarm about
the agent He will eventually reach the
city with his mournful story of the sud
den disappearance of the $1,000. The
Chicago “capitalist’s” faith inhuman
nature has-gustitined a severe shock, and
the will make .no further investments in
mirk or in plausible strangers from
